Committee proposes mosquito monitoring stations BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
By Lou Sennick, The World
A small plane from Vector Disease Control International crisscrosses a little more than 300 acres to kill mosquitoes on an afternoon last fall.The aircraft, with the words “Mosquito Control” on the bottom of the wings, applied a larvicide, MetaLarv, in the Ni-les’tun Unit of the Bandon Marsh.
BANDON — Mosquitoes’ breeding season is coming to an end, meaning Bandon residents will have to wait until next year to see if this summer’s mitigation projects withstand the rain this winter. Coos County’s Vector Assessment and Control Committee chair Roger Straus updated county commissioners Tuesday morning. Over the summer, Vector Disease Control International applied the larvicide Bti over the Ni-les’tun Unit of the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge by air. Their coverage area has dropped from May to August, as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service crews began draining the marsh and mosquito breeding habitats dropped off. Last

month, workers applied Bti on foot to just over 100 acres. “There have been no major outbreaks of mosquitoes in the areas where they occurred last year on a general basis,” Straus said, other than a flyoff in May before Bti was applied and minor outbreaks along the Coquille River this summer. He cited dwindling attendance at his committee’s meetings as evidence that people are not having the problems they had last summer. But there’s no way to know for sure unless a monitoring program is implemented, he said. The committee proposed a mosquito abundance monitoring program, which would put 20 dry ice traps in the valley to

Late summer day
BY ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Wary House lawmakers prepared to give President Barack Obama authority to arm and train Syrian rebels in the fight against Islamic State militants Wednesday as Iraq’s new prime minister dismissed the notion that the struggle could lead to U.S. forces again fighting on the ground in his country. “Not only is it not necessary, we don’t want them. We won’t allow them,” Prime Minister Haider alAbadi said in an interview with The Associated Press. Congress appears inclined to give Obama the authority he wants — the first vote was likely in the House on Wednesday — but lawmakers are sharply divided over whether the U.S. should be doing more or less. Some Republicans contend that Islamic State militants occupying large portions of Iraq and Syria cannot be defeated without U.S. ground troops backing up airstrikes in Iraq. Many Democrats oppose resuming a war

Freddie, Aspen and their deputy handlers Laura McLaughlin and Eric Schultz. The sheriff’s office has a stand-alone fund just for the bloodhounds, and it’s supported entirely by the donations from community members and groups, Sanner said. Stearns County shares the bloodhounds, believed to be the only law enforcement-certified bloodhounds in the state, with agencies across Minnesota. “Besides creating a successful community partnership, this program eliminates the need to use tax dollars for funding, reducing our overall budget,” Sanner said. And for Pearson, the $5,000 he spent will bring back far more. He talked with emotion about the Brockway Township girl who was found after falling behind a hay bale on her parents’ dairy farm. Olivia had been with the department for just a few weeks in November 2012 when Elizabeth Schefers disappeared while playing on her family’s farm. Olivia helped search the farm for Elizabeth, who had climbed on top of a hay bale and fell off into a small space behind it. She crashed hard to the ground
WASHINGTON — U.S. consumer prices edged down in August, the first monthly drop since the spring of 2013, as gasoline, airline tickets and clothing prices all fell. It was the latest evidence that inflation remains under control. Consumer prices edged down 0.2 percent last month following a tiny 0.1 percent gain in July, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. It was the first decline since a similar 0.2 percent drop in April 2013. Core prices, which exclude energy and food, were unchanged in August, the first time there hasn’t been an increase since October 2010. Over the past 12 months, overall prices and core prices are both up a modest 1.7 percent. These gains

How to get involved
STATE
INSIDE
STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Dan Pearson had heard the story about Olivia, the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office bloodhound who helped find a Brockway Township girl who had gotten lost on her family’s large dairy farm. He also saw the story reporting the sad news that the bloodhound later died when its stomach flipped and a condition called bloat took her life. The owner of Pleasureland RV Center immediately called to ask Sheriff John Sanner if he was planning to replace Olivia. When he learned that Sanner was going to get another bloodhound for the department, Pearson told Sanner to send him the invoice, that he would pick up the tab. “I heard in the news that they lost the other one, and there’s a touch of sentimental in this, but here’s the philosophy: We get to do what we do every day, and our customers and our community, because of law enforcement, firefighters and the military,” Pearson said. “So when
you get an opportunity to give them a tool, that’s reinvesting in the community.” Meet Freddie, the newest member of the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office. He was certified for duty earlier this month and joins sister Aspen as the department’s canine duo. Freddie, a bloodhound bred by Florida-based non-profit 832 Deputy Dogs, started out as a search and rescue dog owned by Ed Makaruk, then a volunteer K-9 handler with Coos County Search and Rescue. When Makaruk had to give up K-9 work because of medical problems, Freddie went back to 832 to be retrained for law enforcement work. “Dan has stepped up before, so I wasn’t surprised because I know what motivates Dan Pearson,” Sanner said. “He really wants to help.” In the past, Pearson has partnered with area law enforcement to provide Tasers to one department, a dive van for the Sheriff’s Office and part of the expense to equip a squad car for canine use for another department. He got the chance last week to meet

Coquille Carousel BY GAIL ELBER For The World
Who doesn’t like carousels? The National Carousel Association counts 386 operating carousels in North America. Some Northwest communities, such as Portland and Spokane, have had their carousel for more than a century. In other cities, such as Salem and Albany, carousels have become a community-building project. Ken Means, a college art professor, got carousel fever in the 1970s. He moved to Coquille and started carving carousel figures. Soon, he was teaching three-week workshops on the subject and serving as a consultant to communities building carousels. In 1993, Means started pitching the idea of a community-built destination carousel for Coquille. The idea resonated with local boosters who saw a good fit with the community’s vintage storefronts and Gay ‘90s Celebration. In 2013, a committee formed to make the carousel happen. They envision a $2 million carousel on the Riverwalk, with 38 animals and a band organ — the mechanical orchestra that makes carousels’ distinctive music. Says their website: “Our goal is: to promote Coquille as a destination for visitors to Oregon’s South Coast; to provide a classic attraction and entertainment experience for families and children in Coquille; to educate the public and children on the historical significance of forestry and the timber industry to the city of Coquille; and to preserve the knowledge and skills of woodcarving locally which will aid in the care and maintenance of the carousel.” In addition to raising funds for the carousel, the committee currently is hosting carving workshops at its storefront on Central Avenue and gathering design information.

Curry County voters again reject property tax increase for jails BROOKINGS (AP) — Voters in southern Oregon’s Curry County on Tuesday rejected a measure that would have doubled their property tax rate to raise $1.6 million a year for three years. The proposal was another in the county’s efforts to keep its jail open. Final unofficial results showed a 57 percent “no” vote to a 43 percent “yes” vote. Turnout was about 49 percent of the county’s 12,943 registered voters, County Clerk Renee Kolen said. The election will be certified in 20 days. Without the money, Sheriff John Bishop said the jail and its staffing are in jeopardy.
Curry is among several timber counties in southwestern Oregon struggling to pay for basic services such as law enforcement as voters refuse to raise their taxes to fill the gap from declining federal timber revenues. Voters rejected the last several levies that would have paid for the jail. The county has had to tap in to a road fund made available to it and six other financially strapped counties. But that money is only available until 2016. Now, there is one deputy at a time to patrol the county, and some hours go totally uncovered. The levy’s proponents offered to audit the levy
money separately, to show that it was being directed to the Curry County Jail. Last November, voters in Curry County rejected a $3.2 million public safety tax increase that would have tripled local property taxes to maintain law enforcement services facing cuts as the federal government ends timber subsidies. Curry County is not the only rural timber county facing a funding crisis. Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Coos, Klamath and Lane counties have all struggled to keep jails open and law enforcement functioning.

Balance needed in rules protecting streams The Oregon Board of Forestry took another step last week in its effort to keep small and midsize streams cool enough to meet the state’s Protecting Cold Water standards. The board voted to move forward with rule-making that will apply largely to streams on privately owned timberland. Fortunately, neither the board nor the Oregon Department of Forestry it oversees appears willing to rush the process. The Protecting Cold Water standards do not deal with biology directly, but with actual increases in stream temperature. Under the standards, which had to be approved by the federal government, human activity can increase temperature by only about one-half of one degree Fahrenheit. If a small stream loses too much of its shade cover to logging, the sun can warm water too much. Keeping more trees, and more shade, along streams can help ensure that streams stay cool. To achieve that, forestry department employees will work with the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Quality Commission as well as with stakeholders and their own Regional Forest Practices Committees. They will continue to analyze available research on the issue. And they will report back to the Board of Forestry in November. At that time, the board will set new deadlines for the next steps in the process. Striking a balance that keeps landowners relatively happy and streams cool won’t happen overnight.

Board decision leaves Cover Oregon on life support The board that oversees the state’s troubled Cover Oregon health exchange now seems inclined to keep it running as a semiindependent agency rather than closing it and letting other state agencies take over its duties. Board members could take a final vote on the matter later this month, but you’re not alone if this strikes you as an odd decision, considering that the board could have elected to put the entire Cover Oregon debacle behind it. In fact, that was the way the board seemed to be heading earlier in the year, in the wake of its April decision to use the federal health exchange instead of the Cover Oregon website to enroll people without health insurance. In the short run, the board’s decision means that Cover Oregon will continue to be a political headache for Gov. John Kitzhaber, who was quoted recently as saying that having state agencies absorb the
duties of Cover Oregon represented the “lowest-risk path.” Politically, though, it likely doesn’t make much difference: Even if the Cover Oregon board had turned out the lights last week, it’s doubtful that the governor’s re-election opponent, state Rep. Dennis Richardson, would have simply let the matter slide for the rest of the campaign. It all brings to mind the tagline that Cover Oregon used in its advertising: “Long Live Oregonians.” It turns out that Cover Oregon may have a longer lifespan than many of us thought — but, even if it eventually shuts down, it’s a sure bet to have a lengthy afterlife in campaign debates and courtrooms around the state.

Give bucket a good home, but a new one Symbols are important, reminding people of times good and bad in their personal and community histories. That includes the 10-foot tall “bucket” that was put in front of Klamath County Government Center by supporters nationwide of the protest against the 2001 cutoff of irrigation water to the 240,000-acre
Klamath Reclamation Project. About 210,000 acres are irrigated. It was an agonizing time for the Basin, and the families who lost their livelihoods. Some of them lost their farms. The federal government was found later by a scientific review to have acted without a valid scientific basis. The intent behind the bucket and its placement was to remind people that the fight for water would continue. It has. It also has grown even more complicated, with the completion of the State of Oregon’s adjudication process that established water rights according to when they were claimed. First priority went to the Klamath Tribes, which has exercised them to benefit fish in Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River. Some of what was said during and after the 2001 shutoff had an anti-Indian bias to it. We aren’t saying it reflected the views of farmers and ranchers. But it was stuff that was being said. It became associated with the bucket, unfairly or not. Keep the bucket, but not where it has been for most of the past 13 years. It was moved recently on a temporary basis to the Klamath County Fairgrounds to make way for the filming of a movie. The issue is whether it should return and if it doesn’t go to the County Government Center, where it should go. We don’t think it should be hidden away. It deserves better than that.

Invasion of the privacy snatchers I have made it devilishly hard for hackers to steal nude pictures of me off my computer — by not taking any. It’s so much simpler than trying to remember a big,long password and trying to keep the photos private. “Even if you had nude pictures, no one in their right mind would hack them,” Sue said. “Every time we go through security at the airport I can hear the TSA people vomiting in the back room. They want to put you on the ‘no fly’ list so they don’t ever have to see your cellulite again. It’s like you’re hoarding the stuff.” “Don’t you think that at the end of a long day, the TSA workers probably go home and look at pictures of fully dressed people? Who would be surprised to find out they have a stash of L.L. Bean catalogs under their mattresses? But then, maybe we’re the perverted ones. It seems that you and I are the only people on the planet who don’t have nude pictures of ourselves on our computers.” “Speak for yourself.” “What?” “Just kidding. I guess something’s wrong with us,” she said. “We’re always wearing clothes. All we’ve got is pictures of ourselves on vacation wearing clothes, in family pictures wearing clothes, JIM at weddings, reunions and MULLEN funerals, all the time wearHumorist ing clothes. What were we thinking? If a funeral isn’t a good time to strip down and let it all hang out, when is?” “Me, I wonder why anyone would spend all that time trying to break into a celebrity’s computer to look at nude pictures when they could just hack a few bucks from someone’s Home Depot account and go to a Miley Cyrus concert. Hacking to find nude photos seems like a lot of work for a lot of nothing. What kind of people have that much free time? Inmates? Mental patients? Members of Congress? But then, I repeat myself. “Remember when you used to have to send your film out to get it developed?” Sue asked. “Maybe that’s why there are so many nude pictures floating around. Now every phone is a camera. You have to wonder — how long will it be before every refrigerator is a camera? Every toaster? One day you’ll go downstairs to get a midnight snack and the next thing you know,there will be a picture of you on Facebook in your birthday suit.” She was painting a pretty horrible picture of the future. But she’s right — what came first, cat videos or cellphones with cameras? Now they make inexpensive cameras you can put on your cat. They can put them on personal drones and catch you sunbathing in the backyard. Of course, so can Google Earth. I called a friend in another state once, and while we were talking, I zoomed in on his house from Google’s Street View and asked him whose gray car was sitting in his driveway. I read him the license plate number. I thought he was going to have a stroke. You would have thought I had just posted nude pictures of him on the Internet. “It’s just a car,” I said. “People can see you in it when you drive to the grocery store. What’s the big deal?” But it was a big deal to him: an invasion of his privacy, and I was the invader. The really odd thing is that I hadn’t seen this guy in 20 years. We met again on Facebook. He posts pictures of everything that happens in his family — every birthday, almost every meal. I wonder if it’s his privacy that I invaded, or his publicity.
Protect Americans, not Islamic interests On 9/11 the 13th these United States have never been closer to losing the last vestiges of their foundational identity. Long ago, our first president, George Washington, prophetically warned against “attachments and entanglements in foreign affairs.” In the last century, such sentiments, tragically (as I increasingly believe), fell into disrepute. In our time, Washington’s 21stcentury successors, George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama, have no such compunction. On the contrary, their response to the Islamic assault of 9/11 and the aftermath of continuing jihad have been to link the fortunes of this great nation with those of warring tribes and factions in the Islamic world. That’s about as attached and entangled in foreign affairs as it is possible to get. For the past 13 years, it has been the flawed crux of U.S. foreign policy to micromanage “moderates” in the Islamic world by waging “counterinsurgenices” as a means of defusing the “extremism” of Islam. This failed effort has had the disastrous effect of calibrating America’s fate — as well as exhausting our military and emptying our treasury — according to the rise and fall of Islamic strongmen and blocs. It gets worse. Now, President Obama plans to fight against ISIL in Iraq and to support ISILallied forces in Syria. This makes no American sense. Repel ISIL (or al-Qaida, or Hezbollah, etc.) at our borders, but don’t pretend there is an American “side” in Iraq or Syria. The United States’ fate is not Iraq’s fate, not Syria’s fate, not Afghanistan’s fate. Entangled, however, we have grown used to thinking in such terms. Maliki is causing gridlock
in Iraq? An American problem. Abdullah is threatening to bug out of elections in Afghanistan? An American problem. DIANA Why? Who WEST cares? Cut the apron strings Columnist and the funding streams and learn from our leaders’ mistakes. Acknowledge publicly that “moderates” in the Islamic world are as common and/or as reliable as unicorns, and “extremism” is the basis of Islam, and formulate new policy. Remember “Islam is peace”? That was George W. Bush reaching out to the Islamic world right after 9/11 rather than sitting back and building a good, high and high-tech border fence to the north and south. It was also Bush, as some people (Fox News, for example) seem to forget, who presided over the redaction of the 9/11 Commission Report, and the stripping away of the language of Islam from government communications, making it impossible for officials to have a sensible discussion about Saudi Arabia or Islam ever since. Barack Obama has gone further still, for example, nullifying our borders and entering the socalled Istanbul Process with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to penalize criticism of Islam. Which does make me wonder: How can the administration that brought you Fort Hood as “workplace violence” now distinguish between an ISIL terrorist and a “vetted moderate”? Such hyper-foreign policy, not to mention such hyper-censored policymaking, would
surely have stumped the Father of Our County and probably his next 30 or so successors. How, they might have asked, could it have been in the American interest to write sharia-based constitutions for failed Islamic states across the globe? What, they might have wondered, was there to celebrate in Yourtown, USA, when Iraqis voted for Chalabi, no, Allawi, no, Maliki, no, what’s-his-name? How was our dangerously porous border with Mexico, with Canada, made any more secure if U.S.protected Sunni sheiks were paid by U.S.-protected Shiite bureaucrats in Baghdad in the name of Iraqi security? How was American liberty safeguarded when U.S. soldiers risked life and limb (and intestinal health) to eat goat, drink tea and give stuff to far-flung Afghan tribal elders? While any American interest (or business) escapes me, such matters — and so many more — became the obsession of federal officials who really seemed to believe that U.S. security depended on “nation-building” on the other side of the globe. They waged their doomed “counterinsurgencies” by bidding for the favor of alien Islamic peoples with the blood of American soldiers and staggering sums of American money. Remember “courageous restraint” (self-restrictive rules of engagement)? Remember the beaucoup bucks distributed willy-nilly from the CERF Emergency (Commanders’ Relief Fund)? You give (sell) us your “hearts and minds,” your “trust,” the U.S. government told Iraqis and Afghanis, and we’ll give you armies, generators, roads, hospitals, dams. We’ll teach our soldiers to handle the “holy Koran” as if it were “a fragile piece of delicate art”
(Gitmo directive), and our Marines not to relieve themselves in the direction of Mecca (true story). We’ll soft-pedal the pederasts, “dancing boys,” child rapists and even killers of our own men among you. And don’t worry about bringing in that record Helmand opium harvest. It’s time to recognize what went wrong so we never commit such irresponsible folly again. After all, 13 years later, what do we have to show for everything? Was there method to this madness? Not if protecting individual liberty in the United States was the goal, as any airline flight quickly demonstrates. The notso-new world interventionist order seems always to have been the priority. Currently in some shambles, it remains politically viable. There is a big winner, though, and that is Islam, whose rule, whose law, whose culture, whose pathologies and whose prejudices have only advanced in the world — since 9/11.

News of the West The key to being wellliked is to make yourself likable DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15year-old girl. When I’m with the high school group of kids at my church, I try to extend myself and talk, but they never reciprocate much. I always have to try to think of something to say and DEAR be careful I d o n ’ t embarrass myself. Especially a ro u n d guys, I feel awkward and selfconscious. I feel OK JEANNE a b o u t PHILLIPS myself, but I still get nervous. Other girls find things to talk about to each other but not me, and guys never talk to me first, either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or being too careful. I’m an only child. I get along pretty well with adults, but I have a hard time with kids. I heard you have a booklet about these issues. If you think it might help me, how can I order it? — UNPOPULAR IN SACRAMENTO DEAR UNPOPULAR: Part of your problem may be that you’re an only child, which can be isolating. If you spend most of your time with adults, it’s understandable that you are less comfortable with people your own age. But don’t let it stop you from trying to be friendly. If guys don’t speak to you first, they’re probably feeling as awkward as you are. To smile and say hello is NOT being pushy. My booklet “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions for polishing social skills. It covers a variety of social situations and is meant for people of all ages.

(If parents, teachers and clergy know someone needing help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of that person’s life.) The key to being wellliked by both sexes is: Be kind. Be honest. Be tactful. Don’t be afraid to give someone a compliment if you think it’s deserved. If you think you’re not beautiful (or handsome), be wellgroomed, tastefully dressed, conscious of your posture. (People who stand tall and smile project self-confidence.) If you’re not a “brain,” try harder. If you are smarter than most, don’t be a knowit-all. Ask other people what they think and encourage them to share their opinions. If you’re not a good athlete, be a good sport. Think for yourself, but respect the rules. Be generous with kind words and affectionate gestures, but respect yourself and your family values always. If you think “putting out” will make boys like you, forget it. (It won’t work, and later you’ll be glad you didn’t.) If you need help, ask God. If you don’t need anything, THANK God! DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27year-old male, and I have no clue how to read women’s subtle interest cues, if they ever display any. I’d like to think they have, given that I put in at least two days a week at the gym working with weights. Since you are a woman, could you please be so kind as to give this man a clue what to look for? It’s driving me nuts! — AVAILABLE IN ILLINOIS DEAR AVAILABLE: The most obvious clues that a woman finds you attractive are eye contact and a smile. That’s your opening to make conversation.

Fire crews make progress against W. Ore. wildfire STATE
PORTLAND (AP) — Hundreds of residents near a western Oregon wildfire have heard some good news: fire crews are making progress against the fire southeast of Estacada and it is 7 percent contained. The Clackamas County sheriff’s office estimated that more than 500 people turned out Tuesday night for an information briefing at a The Associated Press church in Estacada. The remains of houses destroyed by fire sit in Weed, Calif., on Tuesday. In just a few hours Monday, wind-drivThe fire has burned across 1 about 5 ⁄2 square miles, or en flames destroyed or damaged roughly 100 homes, saw mill and a church in Weed. nearly 3,600 acres. The Oregonian reports that so far no structures have been lost.
Crews battle California fire’s explosive growth WEED, Calif. (AP) — Just days after a wildfire tore through a small Northern California town and destroyed scores of homes, crews on Wednesday battled another fast-moving blaze in the region that was also threatening residences. Hundreds of additional firefighters were dispatched to the fire near the town of Pollock Pines, about 60 miles east of Sacramento, bringing the number fighting the blaze to more than 2,500 personnel. That was an increase of about 1,000 from the previous day. The fire grew by thousands of acres overnight and had burned through nearly 29 square miles. It was threatening 500 homes, at least some of which were under mandatory evacuation orders, and was just 5 percent contained. Meanwhile, further north, crews were building and strengthening contain-
ment lines around a fire that tore through the town of Weed near the Oregon border on Monday. The blaze damaged or destroyed more than 150 structures and also struck a blow at the economic vitals of the struggling timber town, knocking its last wood products mill offline for an undetermined amount of time. With a maintenance shed reduced to twisted sheetmetal and the main manufacturing facility suffering structural damage, the Roseburg Forest Products veneer mill on the outskirts of Weed was out of commission while workers began assessing the damage, said Kellye Wise, vice president for human resources of the company based in Dillard. The company hoped to have a better idea of when the mill could reopen by next week. “We were in the middle of its path,” he said of the fire. “It shows the great response
of our employees, some of whom lost their own homes.” As the fire roared through trees, brush and homes on Hill on Schoolhouse Monday, the mill had enough warning to send home most of the 60 workers on the day shift and mobilize the mill fire crew, Wise said. While they fought to save the mill, firebrands blew overhead and ignited blocks of houses downwind. With 170 workers, the mill is the second largest employer in Weed, a bluecollar town of 3,000 people in the shadow of Mount Shasta, and it dates to 1897, when founder Abner Weed decided to take advantage of its strong winds as a natural drying process for the lumber turned out by his sawmills. The mill shutdown, however temporary, is one more hit to Weed, which has never recovered from the logging cutbacks of the 1990s.
Jobless report shows growth in Oregon labor force PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon employers have been hiring at a steady pace, and jobseekers in large numbers have gotten the word. The state Employment Department said Tuesday that so many people have joined, or rejoined, the workforce that the state’s unemployment rate has actually risen. The August unemployment rate was 7.2 percent, up from the 6.9 percent the previous month. The month saw the addition of about 2,900 jobs to nonfarm payrolls — representing the 12th month out of the last 14 that has seen job growth. But the labor force rose by a greater number, the department said, about
8,350. All the statistics are seasonally adjusted. That represents newcomers to Oregon as well as Oregonians joining the workforce, or finally returning to it after a long, slow recovery from the Great Recession, The Oregonian reported. “If this growth in the labor force is larger than the number of new jobs created, then the unemployment rate will go up, at least in the short term,” the agency said in a summary of the employment numbers. The agency says Oregon is now 127,000 jobs above the low in the recession and 20,000 jobs short of the prerecession peak reached in 2007. The labor force is less than 2 million, while total employ-
ment is more than 1.8 million. Related statistics: ■ The percentage of adults in the workforce is near its lowest point in decades, a measure of people discouraged by employment prospects, but it has started to rise. It was 61.4 percent in August, up from 61.2 percent in July. ■ The unemployment rate has fallen from 7.8 to 7.2 percent in the past year, but it has barely budged since the start of 2014. ■ At the same time, a measure of “under-employment” fell much more steeply, from 16.1 to 13.5 percent, as the number of people stuck in part-time jobs dropped. Still, the measure did edge up from 13.1 percent in July.

Charges filed in shooting at yard sale EUGENE (AP) — An Oregon man faces attempted murder and other charges after a shooting at a yard sale. The Eugene RegisterGuard reports 34-year-old Phillip Wayne Bregg pleaded not guilty Monday to nine charges, including hitting his wife. An affidavit says a man stopped by Bregg’s home to browse a Sunday yard sale Sept. 7, saw a woman with a bloody mouth and tried to intervene in a fight among several family members. The affidavit says Bregg retreated into the house and then jumped from a secondstory window for a fight that involved several punches. The affidavit says that after the two separated, Bregg went back inside and began firing from the window, hitting the victim in the shoulder and leg.

Arrest in convenience store homicide ROSEBURG (AP) — Police in the southern Oregon city of Roseburg say they have arrested a man in the death of a 38-year-old woman killed early Tuesday at the convenience store where she worked. The Roseburg NewsReview reports that officers responding shortly after 3 a.m. to a call about a possible assault victim at the store found Lori Lynn Rothrock severely injured. She was later pronounced dead. Police say her injuries were caused by an assault but did not provide additional details. Police identified the store as the Diamond Lake Fast Stop. Authorities identified a person of interest, found him at his residence and surrounded the house. Police say they obtained a search warrant after about five hours and entered the house. Officers say 27-year-old John Joseph Flannigan of Roseburg was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail for investigation of murder.
Teen on offenders trip accused of rape EUGENE (AP) — A Portland teen with a criminal record is accused of raping and beating a woman in Eugene after slipping away from a Washington Countysupervised outing that took young offenders to see a University of Oregon football game. The 17-year-old was among a dozen young people escorted to Saturday’s game by four county Juvenile Department staff members. In late July, the boy was sentenced to supervised probation on convictions for burglary, meth possession and harassment, Schroeder said. She said the teen separated from his group after the game. Washington County staffers notified Eugene police when they couldn’t find him. He was arrested in the area of the reported attack. The teen has been charged in Lane County Circuit Court on first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree sexual abuse and second-degree assault counts.

NEWS D I G E S T Obama expands US response to Ebola WASHINGTON (AP) — An American doctor who survived Ebola said there’s no time to waste as President Barack Obama outlined his plan to ramp up the U.S. response to the epidemic in West Africa. “We can’t afford to wait months, or even weeks, to take action, to put people on the ground,” Dr. Kent Brantly told senators Tuesday. Obama called the Ebola crisis a threat to world security as he ordered up to 3,000 U.S. military personnel to the region along with an aggressive effort to train health care workers and deliver field hospitals.
Election could shift diplomatic direction SAO PAULO (AP) — More than a decade of Workers Party rule has seen Brazil prioritize ties with its leftist regional neighbors, from helping muscle socialist Venezuela into the Mercosur trade bloc to financing a billion-dollar transformation of an industrial port in Cuba. But if President Dilma Rousseff fails to fight off the surging candidacy of reformminded Marina Silva before presidential voting in October, South America’s largest economy could reset its focus. Silva was thrust into the Socialist Party’s presidential nomination when its candidate of choice, Eduardo Campos, died in a plane crash last month.
Nation and World Iraq premier says no foreign troops BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s new prime minister said Wednesday that foreign ground troops are neither necessary nor wanted in his country’s fight against the Islamic State group, flatly rejecting the idea a day after the top U.S. general recommended that American forces may be needed if current efforts to combat the extremists fail. In his first interview with foreign media since taking office on Sept. 8, Haider alAbadi told The Associated Press that U.S. airstrikes have been helpful in the country’s efforts to roll back the Sunni militant group, but stressed that putting foreign boots on the ground “is out of the question.” “Not only is it not necessary,” he said, “We don’t want them. We won’t allow them. Full stop.” Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday that American ground troops may be needed to battle Islamic State forces
in the Middle East if President Barack Obama’s current strategy fails, as Congress plunged into an election-year debate of Obama’s plan to expand airstrikes and train Syrian rebels. Al-Abadi also urged the international community to expand its campaign against the extremists to neighboring Syria. “The fight will go on unless ISIL is hit in Syria,” he said, using an acronym for the group. “This is the responsibility of the international community — on top of them the United States government — to do something about ISIL in Syria.” The Islamic State group was established in Iraq but spread to Syria, where it grew exponentially in the chaos of the country’s civil war. Following its success in Syria, the extremist group’s fighters — including many Iraqi nationals — rampaged across northern and western Iraq in June, seizing control of a huge swath of territory. The group now rules over land stretch-

We don’t want to enter into problems with them. For us sovereignty of Syria is very important.” The CIA estimates the Sunni militant group now has
access to somewhere between 20,000 and 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria. A senior Iraqi intelligence official told The Associated Press that more than 27,600 Islamic State fighters are believed to be operating in Iraq alone, about 2,600 of whom are foreigners. The official spoke anonymously as he is not authorized to brief the media.
Cuts to food stamps hit four states WASHINGTON (AP) — An Associated Press review finds that cuts to the nation’s food stamp program enacted this year are affecting only four states, far from the sweeping overhaul that Republicans had pushed. As a result, it’s unclear whether the law will realize the estimated $8.6 billion in savings over 10 years that the GOP had advertised. The food stamp cuts were passed as part of a massive farm bill. The intent of the legislation was to save money by clamping down on states that were using certain provisions of a federal heating assistance program to increase food stamp benefits. Of the 16 states that allow the practice or some form of it, 12 governors have taken steps to avoid the food stamp cuts. This practice has infuriated Republicans who pushed the cuts.
House panel aims for bipartisan tone WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Select Committee on Benghazi set a bipartisan tone Wednesday as it opened its first public hearing. Republican chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina says he’ll pursue the facts of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on a U.S. post in eastern Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. credited a Gowdy Democrat on the 12-member panel with recommending the subject of the first hearing, embassy security.

REBELS GOP leaders back president Continued from Page A1 in Iraq that the U.S. exited three years ago. The White House was quick to reject a suggestion by the nation’s top military officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, that he might recommend U.S. ground troops if Obama’s current strategy doesn’t work. Top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi repeated Wednesday that she wouldn’t support combat troops on the ground. Obama’s more-limited approach seemed headed for approval. “If we want to open a front against (Islamic State forces) in Syria, we have to open a front. And I don’t see any other way to do it than try to build an alternative force,” said Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. “No one’s excited about it but, you know, it’s the best from a series of bad options.” Republican leaders have swung behind Obama’s request, though they’re not pressuring the GOP rank and file to follow suit. “I think there’s a lot more that we need to be doing, but there’s no reason for us not to do what the president asked us to do,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. Pelosi, D-Calif., also supports the limited mission, as does Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. The measure would send U.S. military trainers to Saudi Arabia to arm and train Syrian opponents of Islamic State militants, who have routed U.S.-trained Iraqi security forces repeatedly and threaten the viability of the government in Baghdad. Obama has also vowed to use air power to strike Islamic State militants but has maintained repeatedly that American forces will not have a renewed ground combat mission in Iraq in this new phase of a long battle against terrorists. However, in a Senate hearing Tuesday, Dempsey said U.S. ground troops may be needed to battle the Islamic State group. Dempsey told the Senate Armed Services Committee that if Obama’s current

approach isn’t enough to prevail, he might “go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of ground forces.” That drew a polite but prompt rebuttal from the White House. Obama “will not deploy ground troops in a combat role into Iraq or Syria,” spokesman Josh Earnest said. The White House position was endorsed Wednesday by Iraqi Prime Minister alAbadi, who rejected the idea of any foreign combat troops on Iraqi soil, despite the presence of U.S. military advisers there now. At the same time, the Islamic State group released a video warning the United States that its fighters are waiting in Iraq if Obama sends troops there. The short video shows images of militants blowing up tanks and wounded U.S. soldiers. It then shows a clip of Obama saying that combat troops will not be returning to Iraq, ending with a text overlay that reads “fighting has just begun.” The new congressional authority for Obama’s plan would be added to a spending bill that’s needed to keep the government running into December and avoid a politically damaging repeat of last year’s partial shutdown of government agencies. The underlying spending bill would also: ■ Renew the charter of the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance foreign purchases of U.S. exports, through next June. That postpones a battle between tea party forces opposing the bank and more establishment Republicans who support it. ■ Provide $88 million for the government’s response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. A much larger, $560 million request is pending that would send troops and detection teams, and build infrastructure such as a headquarters and new labs in Africa. In committee hearings and the House floor debate on the Islamic State response, lawmakers in both parties spoke of concern that the United States would be unable to properly identify as many as 5,000 Syrian rebels who could be trusted to carry out Obama’s mission in a region where religious and tribal loyalties frequently collide.

American historian Arthur Herman: “How the Scots Invented the Modern World.” But, experts caution, scientific discovery and invention are rarely solo acts. “Talking about Scottish inventions as such can be quite difficult,” said Maria Castrillo, a curator at the National Library of Scotland who helped create a recent exhibition on Scottish innovations. “A lot of these inventions were the result of collaboration with other people.” Still, the list of achievements is impressive for a country that today has a population of just over 5 million.
There are medical advances such as chloroform anesthetic — pioneered by 19th-century Scottish doctor James Young Simpson — the hypodermic needles created by physician Alexander Wood, and penicillin, discovered by another Scot, Alexander Fleming, while he was working at a London hospital. England — Scotland’s bigger neighbor and mostly friendly rival — can also claim a rich history of invention that includes the seed drill, the sewing machine, the typewriter, pencils, the sports soccer and cricket and even, arguably, the World Wide Web.

$3.38, down eight cents from a month ago and 14 cents lower than a year ago. The recent decline in gasoline prices is one reason that economists are optimistic that consumer spending will show solid gains in the coming months. A drop in gasoline prices means consumers will have more to spend on other items. For August, energy prices fell 2.6 percent, the second straight monthly decline. Gasoline costs were down 4.1 percent in August after a smaller 0.3 percent July drop. Food costs edged up 0.2 percent in August following a 0.4 percent July. Over the past 12 months, food costs have risen 2.7 percent reflecting drought in California that has cut into crop yields. The cost of new vehicles and alcoholic beverages were up in August but the price of airline fares, recreation,
home furnishings, clothing and used cars were all down. The report on consumer prices was released as the Federal Reserve wrapped up two days of discussions Wednesday on what to do with interest rates. The Fed seeks to promote maximum employment and stable prices, which the Fed defines as inflation rising at a moderate 2 percent annual rate. Price increases measured by the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge have been running below 2 percent for the past two years. That has given the central bank the leeway to keep interest rates ultra-low in an effort to combat an anemic economic recovery. However, some critics say the Fed needs to start raising rates in coming months to make sure its prolonged period of easy credit policies does not set the stage for future inflation problems.

PRICES Gas price drops fuel optimism Continued from Page A8 are well within the 2 percent annual increase for inflation that the Federal Reserve considers optimal. Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said that the drop in prices would give a “powerful boost” to “doves” on the Fed, officials who argue that at the moment unemployment and weak economic growth are bigger problems than the threat of future inflation. Analysts believe that inflation will remain moderate in coming months, helped by falling energy prices. AAA reports that the nationwide average for a gallon of gasoline is down to

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — What has Scotland ever done for us? Plenty, it turns out. The land that gave the world haggis and tartan has produced so much more, from golf and television to Dolly the Sheep and “Grand Theft Auto.” If Scotland splits from Britain after a referendum this week, it can stake a claim to inventions that transformed modern life, from surgical anesthetic and penicillin to TV, the telephone and even the flush toilet. No wonder pro-independence First Minister Alex Salmond has approvingly quoted the title of a book by

MOSQUITOES Data will set baseline figures Continued from Page A1 capture mosquitoes and see how their numbers fluctuate from May to October. “The issue is we don’t know if we have a problem,” he said. “If we had a series of data taken along the areas where change may occur — restoration, areas prone to a change of tidal flows — if we had that baseline set of data ... we could react more proactively than we did in the last case.” The county worked with VDCI this summer to start the Bti application process. The committee also got mosquito magnets that the city of Bandon distributed to residents (and will be collected soon). The committee is also trying to get bat houses by the end of the month. In addition, Commissioner John Sweet said USFWS plans to pick up where Magnus Pacific left off draining the marsh. The agency said Magnus Pacific dug more than 47,000 feet of new tidal channels so far. “Without the baseline data that would be generated by such a program, it will be difficult to determine whether or not corrective measures underway and further wetland restoration in the valley, or anywhere else in Coos County, doesn’t curtail or result in the enhancement of mosquito abundance to a level of aggravated nuisance,” according to the committee’s proposal. Committee members estimate the initial cost of the traps to be $4,000, with a $1,000 annual cost of supplies. Dry ice traps have been used in San Mateo County in California.

Orioles turn back the clock Baltimore wins first division title since 1997 ■
BALTIMORE (AP) — This one goes a long way toward making up for all the losing seasons, the meaningless Septembers and meager crowds at Camden Yards for the final games on the schedule. The Baltimore Orioles are AL East champions for the first time since 1997, and they marked the occasion with a celebration that lasted long after the final out of their clinching 8-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. “There are some great moments in your life,” manager Buck Showalter said. “This ranks right up there.” Showalter arrived in 2010, in the midst of Baltimore’s 13th consecutive losing season. The Orioles lost 93 games in 2011, then broke the franchise-record run of futility by going 93-69 in 2012 to make the postseason as a wild card. An 85-win season wasn’t good enough to reach the playoffs last year, but now the Orioles are kings of a division that includes the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox, the free-spending New York Yankees, pitching-rich Tampa Bay, and the Blue Jays, who stood atop the AL East in June. “You never know who is going to win, but you have to be crazy to think they didn’t have a good ball club,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “They were in it two years ago. When you look at their team, it’s a good ball club. Good solid pitching. They got gritty, hard-nosed type players. You really see that.” A boisterous crowd of 35,279 cheered every out and stuck around an hour after the game to cheer the players, who returned to the field after celebrating with champagne and beer in the clubhouse.

Nationals return to top of East ATLANTA (AP) — The Washington Nationals celebrated like a team that expected to be in this position a year ago. They snapped plenty of selfies. They sprayed beer on just about anything that moved. They romped to Lil Jon’s party anthem “Turn Down for What.” Now that they’ve made up for lost time, it’s time to get back to work. The Nationals don’t want another one-and-done trip to the playoffs. Returning to the top of the NL East, Washington wrapped up its second division title in three years on Tuesday night with a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves, the team that won the crown a year ago. Tanner Roark pitched five-hit ball over seven innings, and Ian Desmond’s two-run homer broke a scoreless tie in the sixth, sending Washington back to the playoffs with nearly two weeks to spare. “Nice to have it done,” said Washington first baseman Adam LaRoche, who began his career with the Braves. “The sooner, the better.” LaRoche and many of his teammates remember what happened two years ago, when the Nationals had a major league-leading 98 wins but were stunned by the St. Louis Cardinals in the deciding game of the NL division series. Washington jumped ahead 6-0 after three innings and still led 7-5 going to the ninth, only to give up four runs with two outs. “We have a chance for redemption,” LaRoche said. Despite their playoff meltdown, the Nationals looked like an emerging powerhouse going into last season.They were a big disappointment instead, finishing a distant 10 games behind the Braves in the division and missing the playoffs. The rivals battled neck-andneck much of this season. In fact, they were tied for first at the AllStar break. SEE NATIONALS | B2

Pirates beat Braves, Bobcats BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World
COOS BAY — Leading into conference play, three South Coast volleyball programs — Myrtle Point, Marshfield and Reedsport — faced off at Pirate Palace to shake off any remaining preseason rust. Marshfield played each team, with the Pirates sweeping both of the smaller schools, taking out Reedsport 25-11, 25-9, 25-6 and then the Bobcats 25-14, 25-12, 25-19. Both matches weren’t very competitive. The biggest deficit Marshfield faced was a 9-7 hole in the first set of the Myrtle Point game. The matches turned into a way for Marshfield to stay sharp before Far West League play while the Bobcats and Braves got to set a barometer against a bigger program before the Sunset Conference slate. “We were looking to play a little bit better than we did but that first set we came out and played tough,” Reedsport head coach James Hixenbaugh said. “It’s a different type of volleyball than we’re used to. “I’d rather play a good team than a weak team. It shows you your weaknesses.” In the first match, Hailee Woolsey led the way for the Pirates with eight kills, while Carli Clarkson, Abby Clough and McKenzie Allison added five each. Allison also led the Pirates in aces with eight and had all of her 21 serves fall in. Paige Tavernier and Shaylynn Jensen added 12 and 15 assists, respectively. Gabby Bryant led the Pirates with five digs. “We picked up the intensity and had a lot of momentum on our side, which really helped us,” Pirate libero Bryant said. “We’re doing really good with our defense and our hitting especially.” For Reedsport, Alyssa Aguirre led her team with eight digs. Mariah McGill had three of the Braves’ five kills and two blocks. Senior setter Kaylynn Hixenbaugh added five assists. The Braves graduated seven seniors off last

that great in the other games, so this is a lot better.” Despite ending in a sweep, the Myrtle Point match was much more competitive. The Bobcats fought to a 10-10 tie in the first set before the Pirates rifled off a 15-4 run to end it. In the third set, Myrtle Point battled to trail only 19-18 before Clough stuffed a Bobcats spike to spark a 6-1 Pirate run and end the night. “It was a little bit rough, but we did fine towards the end,” Bobcats senior libero Nikki Miller said. “I love (playing Marshfield). It’s so fun because they’re really a lot stronger than our league. It’s fun to get that experience to play up instead of down. That wasn’t one of our best games, so if I was to grade it, I’d give it a B.” The Bobcats were led by Morgan Newton, who had three aces, one block and 14 assists. Grace Hermann added nine kills and an ace for Myrtle Point. Nicole Seals had four kills and one block. On the Marshfield side, Woolsey led the way again with a team-leading 13 kills on top of six digs. Bryant led the Pirates in digs with 12. The highest assist tally belonged to Jensen with 18, while Tavernier had 15 assists and eight digs. “It was pretty good because we didn’t underestimate them like we have previously— we’ve done that before — so we played our game and played up to our level,” Tavernier said. “We still have some things to work on, we’re not perfect, but we should be pretty ready for next week.” Conference play begins for both Myrtle Point and Reedsport this Thursday when the Braves host Toledo and the Bobcats host Bandon. The Pirates will face fellow Far West power Siuslaw at home Tuesday. Reedsport finished the preseason with a 1-6 record and the Bobcats close out at 7-3. The Pirates end the preseason with an 8-1 record, with the only two sets they dropped coming in their lone loss against Class 5A Crater. “We’ve had a long preseason,” Bryant said. “We’ll be good for the season.”
Burton, Hutton win titles at Bullards Invitational BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

Brookings-Harbor’s Chris Burton clears a barrier during Tuesday’s Bullards Invitational. Burton won the race.
BANDON — The Bandon girls and Brookings-Harbor boys took the individual and team titles at the Bullards Invitational cross country meet Tuesday. Both Bandon’s Sailor Hutton and Brookings-Harbor’s Chris Burton dominated their races, taking the lead early and running in front. Hutton finished in 19 minutes and 51 seconds for the 5,000meter course to lead a dominant Bandon effort. Teammate Aida Santoro was second (21:00) with Bandon’s Sarah Cutler (22:44) and Weston Jennings (22:52) in fifth and sixth. “I’m really excited,” Hutton said of the Tigers, who scored 17 points to easily beat runner-up South Umpqua (59). As for her own race, Hutton said she was happy with her time, especially since the course is slower than the season-opening Tugman Invitational course last week. “For being a slow course, it’s good,” she said, adding that she likes the challenge of the Bullards course. “I like all the trails.” The other runners in the top five Tuesday were Gold Beach’s Avi Gustafson, who finished third in 21:06, and Coquille’s Anna
Sweeney, who was fourth in 22:07. In the boys race, Burton wasn’t quite as dominant as Hutton, but he also said he didn’t go close to all out as he recovers from a cold. “Coach told me to just jog it in,” said Burton, who won in 18:13. Teammate Brandon Smalley was second (18:39), but the Bruins won the team title with their depth. Their third through seventh runners finished between 10th and 16th place. Brookings-Harbor scored 38 points, to 56 for the host Tigers and 61 for Pacific. Burton said he’s excited by the Bruins’ potential, but also knows how tough the Far West League is, with Marshfield, North Bend and Siuslaw, none of which were at the meet Tuesday. Just like with the top teams, several runners are in the top group for the league. “It’s a toss-up,” he said. South Umpqua’s Jon Valdovinos was third overall Tuesday (18:46), followed by the Bandon trio of Zane Olive (18:48), Josh Snyder (18:51) and Hunter Hutton, Sailor’s twin brother (18:51). Many of the runners competing Tuesday also will run in the Prefontaine Memorial Run on Saturday and again next week in the Blanco Invitational, hosted by Pacific.

Sports Arrieta again flirts with a no-hitter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Jake Arrieta took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning before giving up Brandon Phillips’ one-out double, the only blemish for the Chicago Cubs pitcher in a 7-0 win over Cincinnati on Tuesday. Arrieta (9-5) struck out 13 and walked one in his first career complete game. He was five outs from the first no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 42 years when Phillips drove an 0-2 pitch to deep leftcenter, just beyond the desperate dive of center fielder Matt Szczur on the warning track. It was the third time this season Arrieta has flirted with a no-hitter. Chicago gave Arrieta plenty of run support against Reds ace Johnny Cueto (189). Chris Coghlan capped a five-run sixth inning with a three-run double, and Jorge Soler homered in the NL seventh. Arrieta Recap retired 21 of the first 22 batters he faced before allowing Phillips’ double. He issued a leadoff walk in the fourth to Billy Hamilton. Brewers 3, Cardinals 2, 12 innings: Carlos Gomez walked, stole second and third and scored the goahead run on a bloop hit by rookie Hector Gomez in the 12th inning as Milwaukee ended NL Central-leading St. Louis’ three-game winning streak. The third-place Brewers have won five of six and are four games back of St. Louis, which has a 21⁄2-game lead on Pittsburgh with 11 to go. Gerardo Parra homered and rookie Matt Clark’s sacrifice fly tied it against Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth. The Cardinals were blanked on four hits over the last 11 innings after jumping on Wily Peralta for two quick runs in the first. Rockies 10, Dodgers 4: Corey Dickerson homered, tripled and drove in four runs, Tyler Matzek (6-10) pitched into the sixth inning by getting out of several tight spots, and Colorado snapped a seven-game skid with a win over the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Giants 2, Arizona 1: Jake Peavy (6-4) had another strong outing, Buster Posey homered, and San Francisco gained a game in the NL West with a victory over Arizona.

The Giants are three games behind first-place Los Angeles with 11 to play. San Francisco snapped a threegame losing streak and 1 remained 2 ⁄2 games ahead of Pittsburgh for the NL’s top wild-card spot.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Mariners 13, Angels 2: Mike Zunino’s two-run double keyed a four-run fifth inning, and Seattle climbed within a game of the second AL wild-card spot by routing the Los Angeles Angels. One night after becoming the first team to secure a playoff berth, the Angels lost for only the fourth time in 21 games. Their magic number for clinching the AL West dropped to two because of Oakland’s loss to Texas. The Athletics lead the wild-card race by a game over Kansas City. Carson Smith (1-0) earned his first major league victory with two innings of hitless relief in his fifth appearance. Rangers 6, Athletics 3: Scott Kazmir (14-9) allowed a two-run homer to Jake Smolinski, and shortstop Jed Lowrie made an error that led to a pair of unearned runs as Oakland lost to last-place Texas, the team’s 15th loss in 22 games. White Sox 7, Royals 5: Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis both gave up runs for the first time in nearly three months as Kansas City’s dominant bullpen was touched up in a loss to the Chicago White Sox. Davis replaced Herrera (3-3) with two on in the seventh inning and walked Jose Abreu to load the bases for Conor Gillaspie, who cleared them with a triple to rightcenter that gave Chicago a 75 lead. That ended Herrera’s scoreless streak at 30 2-3 innings, dating to June 24. Also snapped was Davis’ shutout streak of 31 2-3 innings, a club record for a reliever, with the first run charged to him since June 25.

Chicago starting pitcher Jake Arrieta delivers a pitch during the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Chicago won 7-0 as Arrieta pitched a one-hitter. The rare bullpen failure prevented Kansas City from gaining ground on AL Central leader Detroit, which lost at Minnesota. The Royals remained 11⁄2 games behind the Tigers. The game lasted 4 hours, 16 minutes, the longest nineinning game in Royals history. Rays 6, Yankees 1: Derek Jeter was hit on the arm by a Steve Geltz pitch in the eighth inning of a loss to Tampa Bay, the fifth time a New York Yankees batter has been hit by a Rays pitcher in the past week. Jeter, who is retiring at the end of the season, was honored in a pregame ceremony and went 0-for-2. He is hitless in 26 at-bats, the second-longest skid of his career. Indians 4, Astros 2: Corey Kluber (16-9) struck out a career-high 14 in seven
innings, and Cleveland halted its four-game losing streak by topping Houston. Houston’s Jose Altuve broke Craig Biggio’s club record for hits in a season with his 211th, a single up the middle in the seventh. Twins 4, Tigers 3: Aaron Hicks hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning, and Minnesota rallied for a win over AL Central-leading Detroit.
INTERLEAGUE Pirates 4, Red Sox 0: Charlie Morton came off the disabled list to gain his first victory since July 2, and Pittsburgh beat Boston for its ninth win in 11 games. Morton (6-12) pitched five innings. Five relievers combined on three-hit relief, completing the Pirates’ eighth shutout this season. Boston has been blanked 15 times.
Vikings reverse course on Peterson MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After a day of public pressure from angry fans and concerned sponsors, the Minnesota Vikings have reversed course and placed star running back Adrian Peterson on the exempt-commissioner’s permission list, a move that will require him to stay away from the team while he addresses child abuse charges in Texas. The Vikings made the announcement early this morning, about a day and a half after initially deciding that Peterson could play with the team while the legal process played out. Peterson is charged with a felony for using a wooden switch to spank his 4-year-old son and now could miss the rest of the season while the case proceeds through the court system. The Vikings came under heavy criticism for their initial stance. Several sponsors responded by either suspending their deals with the Vikings or severing ties with Peterson, prompting Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf to revisit the situation on Tuesday.

The “Home of Golf” is about to find out if its doors are open to women. On the same day Scotland votes on whether to become independent, a historic sporting decision will be made inside arguably the most famous building in golf. The Royal & Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews, an allmale bastion since its founding 260 years ago, votes Thursday whether to admit women m e m bers. For the first time, the R&A is allowing its 2,500 worldwide members to vote by proxy. “I think it’s the right thing,” R&A club secretary Peter Dawson said during its spring meeting in May, “and I hope that R&A members do what’s right for golf.” While a “No” decision is the marginal favorite in the independence referendum, the R&A vote should be more clear-cut at its annual Business Meeting at St. Andrews. “We wouldn’t be entering this if we didn’t feel there was strong member support for it,” Dawson has said. The club said a favorable vote would take effect immediately. “We would hope to have a meaningful number of women become members in a reasonable time scale,” the club said in a statement. “The first women members are likely to have made a significant contribution to the development of our sport.” It has been just over two years since Augusta National — the club that hosts The Masters — announced it had invited women to join for the first time. That ramped up the pressure on the R&A club, which, unlike Augusta, had a policy barring women from being members. Three other all-male clubs are on the British Open rotation — Royal St. George’s, Royal Troon and Muirfield. Dawson has said the R&A vote will have no bearing on whether the Open is played on those courses. Royal Troon is the 2016 host.
“While we were trying to make a balanced decision yesterday, after further reflection we have concluded that this resolution is best for the Vikings and for Adrian,” the Wilfs said in a statement. “We want to be clear: we have a strong stance regarding the protection and welfare of children, and we want to be sure we get this right. At the same time we want to express our support for Adrian and acknowledge his seven-plus years of outstanding commitment to this organization and this community.” Peterson was indicted last week in Montgomery County, Texas, after admitting to authorities that he struck his son with a tree branch. Peterson said he was disciplining his son the same way his own father disciplined him while growing up in Palestine, Texas, and didn’t intend to hurt him. The Vikings deactivated him for the 30-7loss to New England on Sunday while they gathered more information. But on Monday they announced that Peterson
was being reinstated and expected to play this weekend at New Orleans. The about face came after the Radisson hotel chains suspended its sponsorship with the Vikings, Papa John’s considered doing the same, and Anheuser-Busch said it was “disappointed and increasingly concerned” with the negative attention brought to the league by Ray Rice’s assault on his wife and Peterson’s arrest. Castrol Motor Oil, Special Olympics Minnesota and Mylan Inc. all severed ties with Peterson,and Twin Cities Nike stores pulled Peterson’s jerseys from its shelves. “This is the best possible outcome given the circumstances,” Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, told The Associated Press of the Vikings’ decision. “Adrian understands the gravity of the situation and this enables him to take care of his personal situation. We fully support Adrian and he looks forward to watching his teammates and coaches being successful during his absence.”
“It’s just a good feeling, an experience I’ll never forget,” he said. “To do it with these guys, it’s on a different level. It’s awesome and it’s one of the reasons why I wanted to be part of this team and this organization.” The clinching victory featured an unlikely list of contributors, not at all unusual for a team that often delved deep into its 25-man roster.
Ubaldo Jimenez (5-9) allowed two hits over five innings in his first start since Aug. 16. Steve Pearce, who has morphed from a bit player to a key starter, provided the Orioles with the lead for good with a three-run drive off Drew Hutchison (10-12) in the first inning. Jimmy Paredes, who didn’t join the team until Aug. 28, hit a solo shot in the sec-
to become the breakout stars everyone expected. Harper is hitting .269 with 13 homers and 32 RBIs. Strasburg is 1211 with a 3.34 ERA. But the Nationals have relied on superior depth to make up for the shortfalls of their young stars. Desmond, LaRoche, Jayson Werth and Anthony Rendon all have at
least 80 RBIs. Roark (14-10) and Doug Fister (14-6) are pacing the team in wins, while Jordan Zimmermann (12-5) and Gio Gonzalez (8-10) will make it tough to pare down the rotation for the postseason. Atlanta, meanwhile, lost for the 11th time in 14 games, further damaging its hopes of making a third straight play-
FedEx Cup champion Horschel is new dad JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — FedEx Cup winner Billy Horschel’s wife gave birth to their first child Tuesday night, two days after his Tour Championship victory in Atlanta. Daughter Skylar Lillian Horschel weighed in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20 inches. “The last few weeks have been a whirlwind with so many incredible moments, but being able to share this moment with Brittany was the biggest win of my life,” Horschel said. “I’m so happy I was here, surrounded by the people I care about, as we welcomed Skylar into the world. Now I can start getting her ready to win the 2032 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship for the Florida Gators!” Horschel won the seasonending Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake to take the FedEx Cup title and $10 million bonus.

Acting Wake County district attorney Ned Mangum says Gordon received a 60day suspended jail sentence and one year of unsupervised probation Tuesday. He must also comply with any treatment recommended through the substance-abuse assessment, pay a $100 fine along with court costs and perform community service. Mangum says the court has also suspended Gordon’s driver’s license. Gordon’s attorney, Trey Fitzhugh, entered a guilty plea on Gordon’s behalf on a charge of driving while impaired from a July arrest in Raleigh. Gordon was pulled for going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone and charged with speeding, though Mangum said that charge was dismissed.
BASKETBALL Several suitors are interested in Hawks ATLANTA — Mayor Kasim Reed said Tuesday he has already talked with six potential buyers of the Atlanta Hawks and expects a sale of the team to move quickly after racially charged comments by owner Bruce Levenson and general manager Danny Ferry. Flanked by Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins and other city leaders, Reed said the crisis engulfing the NBA team would be solved “the Atlanta way” and predicted the franchise would come out stronger in the end. Reed, who did not identify the prospective buyers, said whoever buys the team would have majority ownership. While Levenson owns 24 percent of the team, his Washington partner Ed Peskowitz has also agreed to sale his share, meaning that 50.1 percent of the team is available, according to the mayor.

Sports NFL, players agree on drug testing policy
Drivers face long odds in the Chase CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — AJ Allmendinger and Aric Almirola were the underdogs of the Chase, the two drivers nobody thought could win the Sprint Cup championship. They knew it, too, when they arrived in Chicago and for the first time in their careers were allowed behind NASCAR’s velvet rope. They got the white glove treatment in a private dinner with chairman Brian France and his executives, and were whisked around the city during a celebration of the 16-driver field. Scoring an invite to the party was a coup; not getting kicked out early a major challenge. “I was laughing at it, (Vegas) made odds for 14 drivers,” said Allmendinger, “and me and Almirola were just ‘The Field’ for the championship. There were 14 names with odds, and then ‘The Field’ at 500-to-1.” Almirola made the Chase by winning the rain-shortened July race at Daytona, where he gave Hall of Famer Richard Petty his first win in 15 years. Allmendinger used a gritty drive on the road course at Watkins Glen to score his first Cup win and put tiny JTG/Daugherty Racing into the Chase. So in a sense, both Allmendinger and Almirola should have gone into the Chase with a “we’re just happy to be here mentality.” They didn’t, though. They both wanted more, and both wanted to survive the first round of eliminations. To do so, they would have to be perfect and work in a margin with zero room for errors. It’s a terribly hard task, and one neither succeeded at on Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. Almirola was easily the biggest surprise of the opening Chase race, running as high as fourth, and he was sixth when he headed to pit road for a routine stop. Then his engine suddenly failed and his race was over. Almirola finished 41st in a

Brad Keselowski (2) drives in front of Aric Almirola (43) and Greg Biffle during the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday. Almirola ran near the top of the field until late engine troubles. devastating ending to what had been shaping up to be a monster day. “I’ve never been so heartbroken, ever,” Almirola said from the garage after Petty draped his arm around the dejected driver. “To be running that good with (just) over 30 laps to go ... I’ve been saying all week that we can’t have a big mistake.” Allmendinger simply wasn’t competitive enough on Sunday. He was 22nd for the third-worst finish among Chase drivers. “I’m thinking big picture, man, but we do this every weekend,” he radioed to his team with 86 laps remaining. “I mean, I know you guys are trying, we are all in it together, but it just gets harder every weekend and we don’t make any progress.” Now with two races remaining before NASCAR knocks the bottom four drivers out of the Chase, Allmendinger is 14th in the standings and Almirola last in the 16-driver field. Yet they had to know this was going to happen, that it’s just too hard to stand up for 10 weeks against Team Penske and Hendrick Motorsports. Allmendinger sort of hinted at that in the buildup to Sunday when he was already looking ahead to the Sept. 28 race at Dover, where the field will be trimmed. He has three top-10 finishes there and led 143 laps there in 2010. “We’ve just got to be perfect. We’ve just got to be at our best,” he said. “I
look at a race like Dover, depending on how the first two (races) have run, if we have to win it to stay in it, then you start taking some chances.” So now Almirola and Allmendinger will have to gamble the next two weeks and go for broke on every decision. There can be no second-guessing because their seasons are officially on the line. “We have to win. That is it. There is no other option,” Almirola said Sunday. “We have to go and figure out how we can win one of the next two races.” There will be no shame in failing; the odds were stacked against them from the beginning. Richard Petty Motorsports, short on the money it needs to test at the same pace as the elite teams, instead entered Almirola in a pair of Nationwide races to get him extra track time. Allmendinger drives for just the second single-car organization to make the Chase, and did it a year after Kurt Busch made the field with Furniture Row Racing. Despite Busch’s talent and how far he had raised the performance at Furniture Row, he finished 10th in a 13-driver field. It’s because the elite teams rule NASCAR, and if you aren’t aligned with Penske, Hendrick or Gibbs right now, you probably don’t stand a chance. The harsh reality probably hurt on Monday, when both drivers had to lick their wounds, but the two Chase rookies really should be thrilled just to have been invited to the party.
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL reached an agreement with the players association on changes to its performance-enhancing drug policy, including the addition of human growth hormone testing, which will allow the Broncos’ Wes Welker and two other previously suspended players to return to their teams this week. Under the new rules announced Wednesday, players who test positive for banned stimulants in the offseason will no longer be suspended. Instead, they will be referred to the substance abuse program. Welker, Dallas Cowboys
defensive back Orlando Scandrick and St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey had been suspended for four games. Testing for HGH was originally agreed upon in 2011, but the players had balked at the science in the testing and the appeals process for positive tests. Under the new deal, appeals of positive tests in the PED program will be heard by third-party arbitrators jointly selected by the NFL and union. Appeals will be processed more expeditiously under altered procedures Testing should begin by the end of the month.
Warner, Seau are among Hall nominees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Super Bowl-winning quarterback Kurt Warner and linebacker Junior Seau are among 15 first-year eligible modern-era candidates nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also nominated for the class of 2015 in their first year of eligibility are receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, tackle Orlando Pace, and placekicker Jason Elam. A total of 99 players and 14 coaches comprise the 113 nominees. A modern-era player or coach must be retired at least five consecutive seasons to be eligible. The selection committee will choose 25 candidates as
semifinalists in late November. That list will be reduced to 15 modern-era finalists in early January. The 2015 class will be voted on the day before the Super Bowl. Between four and eight new members will be selected. Inductions will be in August at Canton, Ohio, site of the Hall of Fame. Some other familiar names who have been nominated are running back Jerome Bettis, receivers Tim Brown and Marvin Harrison, guard Will Shields, defensive end/linebackers Charles Haley and Kevin Greene, safety John Lynch, and placekicker Morten Andersen. All were finalists in 2014.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 2014 It’s time to realize your potential. Keep your outlook realistic, and don’t spread yourself too thin. A focused approach, combined with your talent and determination, will help you make big strides toward your dreams, hopes and wishes. Keep your eye on the big picture. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Think outside the box. You will be pleasantly surprised by a new or unusual venture presented to you. Don’t be afraid to try something new. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Slow and steady will be your best approach. You will be frustrated if you take on too many projects. Nothing will be accomplished to your satisfaction if you don’t pay attention to detail. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — An unexpected change will result in an exciting venture. Find a way to incorporate the old and the new into your plans for the future, to better suit your needs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You will need to take good care of financial matters. A joint venture will have an unfavorable outcome. An in-depth look at your documents and records will ensure that nothing has been overlooked. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A personal relationship will cause dissatisfaction. Don’t get sidetracked from your professional duties. Once you are outside the

workplace, you will have more time to do some soul-searching. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Social activities, love and romance are all highlighted. Don’t be afraid to show your romantic side. An escape from your regular routine will contribute to a happier personal life. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your compassion will shine in dealings with those you care about. Feel confident to enable beneficial changes to take place. Make a difference by reaching out to those in need. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You are always ahead of the crowd. Don’t be too hard on people who can’t keep up. Showing patience and understanding will result in appreciation and admiration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Aim high. Take an active role and see your commitments through to completion. A leadership position will be offered and will help get you where you want to go. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t be dissuaded if others don’t see things your way. Keep on top of your professional responsibilities. Maintain your focus, be diligent and accept the changes that lie ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Keep busy and avoid trouble. If you are too idle, you will end up stressing over personal problems that you cannot fix. Avoid emotional scenes by pursuing your own projects. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can show generosity without opening your wallet. Offer your time and advice rather than money. Your financial situation will deteriorate if you are too free with your cash.
