Reedsport planners eye code changes

Charleston man dies on fishing excursion

BY STEVE LINDSLEY The World

REEDSPORT — The Reedsport Planning Commission will have a lot of work to do in the next few months as it reviews proposed code amendments and additions to the Reedsport Land Usage Ordinance.

Some of those proposed changes were outlined in a work session Aug. 25.

Amendments have been proposed for the Home Occupation section, where some businesses may be operated out of homes.

“We’re looking at the size and scope of some of the operations occurring in residential

NEWPORT (AP) — Oregon State Police say a 70-year old Charleston man died on a fishing trip in the Pacific Ocean.

The fishing vessel Carolyn Ruth arrived at the Coast Guard station in Newport with the body of Eugene Compton of Charleston.

The captain of the boat told investigators that Compton wasn’t feeling well when he went to bed Saturday.

Compton got up sometime during the night, and the captain found him dead Sunday morning.

Police said Monday that Compton appears to have died from natural causes, but the investigation continues with help from the Lincoln County medical examiner.

zones,” Reedsport City Manager Jonathan Wright told the commission, “and trying to figure out how we regulate them before they become an issue. How do we help people out by deregulating that don’t cause significant impact?”

He said that includes notifying neighbors and the public about proposed uses.

“So the applicants can be successful, as well as the neighborhood get their compatibility (issues) addressed,” Wright said.

Wright said one proposal for the commission to consider would be a “minor” and a “major” home occupation.

A proposal for a minor home occupation

would be a proposed business that operates within a home, the home to be used as a place of work only by residents and no customers or employees would come to the site. Examples would be writers, artists, phone orders, Internet sales and bookkeeping.

“It’s grandma who does sewing,” Wright said.

“She takes things in, she makes money off. She’s still required to have a business license — ‘Granny’s Sewing.’ But, she’s not really impacting the neighborhood. There’s not a lot of traffic. There’s not a lot of activity associated with her operating it.”

Obama promotes economic advances

BY JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press

MEDFORD (AP) — Midway through an early harvest, one of the world’s largest pear growers says its Rogue Valley crop isn’t meeting expectations.

Medford-based Naumes Inc. said the harvest is two weeks ahead of schedule and it looks like the yield will be 15 percent below normal. The company says the culprit was a two-day freeze in late March.

Bartlett production, coming off a short year in 2013, was above estimates by about 12 percent, company President Mike Naumes told the Mail Tribune. But Comice yields were 20 percent under estimates, and the winter pears — Bosc, and red and green D’Anjou — will fall short of prior estimates.

“We just don’t have the fruit in the trees,” he said.

Local pear sales bring in $30 million to $40 million each year, and the industry’s ripple effect adds up to about 15 percent of Jackson County’s gross domestic product, according to Oregon State

University estimates.

Though the harvest isn’t spectacular, the company faced bigger problems in Washington state, where a July wildfire east of the Cascade Range destroyed an employee’s home and 7 miles of deer fence surrounding 12,000 trees.

“Sometimes it totally burned up a tree, and in other cases it just scorched it,” Naumes said.

The company lost electricity to the site and brought in generators to run two six-horsepower pumps and a series of booster pumps to move water 1,400 feet from the Columbia River into a 9-million gallon storage tank.

“We burned through $100,000 of diesel just to run the generators for a week,” Naumes said, adding that insurance did not cover the loss of the deer fence.

Back in southern Oregon, Naumes said the harvest itself has gone smoothly despite a lack of pickers.

Iraqi prime minister pledges to root out militants

BY SAMEER N. YACOUB The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s outgoing prime minster pledged Monday to turn his country into “a big grave” for Sunni militants from the Islamic State group and commended security forces who achieved a rare victory over insurgents by ending the siege of a Shiite town.

Nouri al-Maliki made the comments during an unannounced visit to the northern community of Amirli, where he was greeted with hugs. A day earlier, Iraqi forces backed by Iran-allied Shiite mili-

tias and U.S. airstrikes broke a twomonth siege of the town where some 15,000 Shiite Turkmens had been stranded.

In footage aired on state TV, alMaliki was shown sitting at a wooden desk in front of a large poster of Shiite leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistsani, ordering promotions and awards for those who fought in the battle.

“I salute you for your steadfastness and patience against those beasts and killers,” he told a gathering of fighters in a large hall as they chanted Shiite religious slogans.

He vowed to root out Sunni mili-

tants from areas they control in the country.

“All Iraq will be a grave for those infidels, and we will send all the IS (Islamic State) gang to death,” he added.

Hours before the visit, humanitarian aid began flowing to the town.

Four trucks loaded with food and medicine arrived after being sent by the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Red Crescent, according to Ali al-Bayati, who heads the aid organization called the Turkmen Saving Foundation. Soldiers began bringing food to families in their

DEATHS

WASHINGTON — Boosted by recent economic gains, President Barack Obama is sounding more bullish about the nation’s recovery from the Great Recession and the White House is encouraging Democrats to show similar optimism as they head into the November mid-term elections.

Despite turmoil in the Middle East and along the Ukraine-Russia border, the top issue with Americans remains the economy.

And while consumer confidence appears to be improving, the public remains anxious over the recovery’s reach and sustainability.

On Monday, Obama scheduled a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee, Wisc., to promote the economy in a state that was the epicenter of a fight over the collective bargaining rights of public employees. He’s also pressing the case for a federal increase in the minimum wage — a top issue for Democrats. Vice President Joe Biden took a similar Labor Day message to Detroit, telling hundreds of union members Monday they deserve a “fair share” of any improvement in corporate profits.

Until now, Obama and his aides had been cautious about drawing too much attention to positive economic trends, worried that some may prove illusory or that, even if true, not all Americans were benefiting from them.

White House aides still insist they are not declaring full victory over the lingering effects of a recession that ended five years ago.

But White House officials believe it is time to highlight recent improvements, in part to strengthen what is a difficult for environment political Democrats and to counter public perceptions that are eroding the president’s public approval.

Officials say Obama’s most compelling case is to compare the economy now with what he inherited in 2009 in the aftermath of a near Wall Street meltdown.

“The one thing that I can say is that because of the incredible resilience and strength of the American people, but also because we made some good decisions even though they were tough at

houses Sunday night.

“The situation is getting back to normal, but gradually,” al-Bayati told The Associated Press. “Some people have come out from their houses and walked in the street.

Shops are still closed, but people are happy to see their city secured

by Iraqi security forces.”

Shiite Turkmen lawmaker Fawzi Akram al-Tarzi said the U.S. airstrikes and Iranian support for Iraqi forces “have played a positive role in defeating the terrorists,” although he said the airstrikes

Pink shrimp

BY GAIL ELBER For The World

Commercial shrimp harvesting on the South Coast began in 1957, when Dick Lilienthal of Charleston and his son Rick started finding shrimp in their net while trawling for other species.

Soon, other fishermen joined the Lilienthals in trawling for shrimp. When local seafood processors installed high-speed shrimp picking and shelling equipment, modern double-rig shrimp trawlers flooded the South Coast. In international waters, Russian trawlers got into the act.

Nowadays, shrimp is Oregon’s second biggest fishery, trailing only Dungeness crab.

Charleston has led the state in landings for the past five years.

During the season from April to October, boats tow two nets 75-125 fathoms deep slightly above the bottom during the day, while shrimp are resting there. The nets are emptied onto a conveyor belt for sorting, and the shrimp are held on ice in the hold until they’re delivered to the processor’s dock.

Oregon’s was the first shrimp fishery anywhere to receive the Marine Stewardship Council’s sustainability certification because of the fishermen’s success at keeping other species — called bycatch — out of their nets. This is done with aluminum grids or soft panels and, in a technique discovered just this summer, by attaching lights to the trawl line.

Matt Gregory and Abby Haynes construct fishing nets that will be used to troll for shrimp. The new type of net is much lighter and stronger than previous constructions, which will lower fuel costs for fishermen.

Did you work yesterday?

If you did, you weren’t alone. Despite its origins in the Industrial Revolution as a “workingman’s holiday,” many of us have jobs that require us to put in at least some hours on the traditional day that marks the end of summer.

And actually, we’re lucky to get the day off at all.

Unlike other economically advanced nations, there is not one law in the United States that requires employers to provide paid vacations for employees. And nearly a quarter of American workers don’t have jobs that offer paid vacation or holidays.

For the country that embraces a holiday called Labor Day, we work a lot.

According to labor statistics, 11 percent of us work more than 50 hours a week.

On top of that, the average commute for employees nationwide is more than 25 minutes. Nearly 5 percent of us are going to work between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m.

Overall, average annual salary for all that work is $46,440, or about $22.33 an hour.

Before you start thinking we’re all being worked like slaves, consider the origins

of Labor Day. In the late 1800s the average American worked 12-hour days seven days a week. Children were part of that work force. Factories and mills were most often a chamber of horrors.

On Sept. 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took time off (unpaid, of course) and marched from City Hall to Union Square in New York City, asking for change and essentially holding the first Labor Day parade in America.

But attempts by labor to organize were often met with brute force. The Haymarket Riot of 1886 began as a

workers’ strike and ended with several Chicago workers and police dead.

The 1894 Pullman railway boycott and resulting deadly riots in Chicago finally brought the issue of fair labor practices to national light, and resulted in Congress making Labor Day a legal holiday.

So, if nothing else, one could say that Labor Day represents Americans’ curious, contradictory, relationship with the idea of work. Some of us live to work; others, vice versa. And we try to maintain a society that accommodates both notions.

The Jewish lesson for liberals There’s a painful lesson to be learned for liberals, especially liberal Jews, from the hopefully concluded war in Gaza.

Most of my liberal friends desperately want to believe that the fact that Israel is subject to more criticism than almost any country in the world (including some very scary ones), that respected universities consider calls for boycotts, that student government slates (at UCLA) run and win on pledges not to accept travel from the Anti-Defamation League, that all of this and more has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it is a Jewish state, much less with anti-Semitism. No, it’s not about holding Jews to a different standard; it’s Israel.

Newsflash: Not so in this war.

Israel is not the “occupier” of Gaza.

Israel did not build tunnels into Gaza.

Show me another country that would be castigated, as Israel has been, even in the American media, for protecting its citizens against terrorists who had secretly figured out how to infiltrate their towns and villages, who SUSAN were sending rockets ESTRICH aimed at major population centers without Columnist even a pretense of targeting the military.

You know what the world would say if another country were the one taking on terrorists who have vowed to destroy us, as well. We would say thanks. We would say well done. We would be very glad that they were willing to send their soldiers into harm’s way, that they were adept enough to target militants. Would the international media be castigating the country that first warned of impending attacks and then hit houses where the dead were pulled out carrying rifles to the cheers of the crowd? They would not.

How is it that Israel became the villain in a war it did not start, that was necessitated by self-defense, that cost needless lives because Hamas does not value the lives of its own people either?

One of my friends sent me an email from an Israeli doctor whose team had saved the life of a Palestinian woman who had been burned by her own family (likely for straying beyond the proper limits for women). She returned to Gaza and was encouraged to return to Israel for outpatient follow-up. She was stopped at the border, suicide bombs strapped to her body, on her way to her follow-up appointment in Israel. She planned to kill herself and those who had saved her life.

Her family told her they would forgive her if she did.

This is why Israelis were overwhelmingly in support of this war. It is because it was a war of self-defense, part of the struggle for survival that we would like to believe is limited to the countries in the Middle East, but is built on hatred and hypocrisy that cannot so easily be cabined.

It is good that there is a ceasefire, good that families on both sides can sleep a little better and breathe a little easier, good that fewer lives may be lost in the short run. But we liberals cannot kid ourselves.

My mother saw anti-Semitism behind every corner and always urged me not to offend. I was determined to push back against those limits — when I was growing up, limits on who could live where and go to school where and even go fishing off of which dock — just like I was determined to push back on the limits imposed on women. No one’s victim. Not me. We Jewish Americans have done very, very well and have much to be grateful for.

But blindness is more dangerous than paranoia.

It wasn’t — it isn’t — just about Israel.

Letters to the Editor Reflections on his home town After a return visit the second week of August, the first in 45 years, I wanted to congratulate the community on its development in the interim.

Transitioning from the largest lumber shipping port in the world to a negligible lumber industry required significant adaptation. The 101 corridor, which I remember as a thriving, yet foreboding and seedy place, has developed attractive curb appeal. The Mill Casino is built on the very spot where I worked my way through college. While not the type of place that attracts my interest or tourist dollar, I did stop in out of curiosity and nostalgia. It appears to be well done, well run and certainly a considerable attraction to many.

One new infrastructure attraction I discovered was the trail system around the Empire Lakes. What a wonderful attribute. It is in need of some maintenance before it becomes more costly, but what a little treasure.

In reading this paper, it was evident that the historic city rivalries appear to continue unabated, which seems a shame.

You are all one community.

Consolidation, though anathema to many, would likely benefit most, cut costs and reduce territorial conflicts. I thought this 45 years ago as well. “The more things change... .”

I was wondering what other attraction, with the obvious considerable improvements, was missing that other coastal towns enjoy. The distance from the beaches seems the key attribute that communities from Astoria to Winchester Bay have over

Coos Bay/North Bend. And great beaches you have. But they are about 8 to 12 miles from the water front and there was little signage promoting them. The estuary is spectacular, but not obvious without the services of an explaining guide.

And speaking of beaches and infrastructure, The “new” campgrounds at Bastendorff were a surprise. The RV park at the south end lacks the privacy between sites afforded by most state and county parks. That is sadly expected from RV parks, especially privately held. What was a greater surprise was that the historical public access to that end of the beach is practically non-existent. That park essentially owns that end of the beach. I was told that the current beachside tent camping sites have yet to be granted county approval. I would urge the county commission to require some

reasonable public access as a condition of approval for those tent camping sites. That cove at the south end is a treasure that deserves more public access.

Greetings to all who might remember me. I thought the high school reunion was to coincide with my visit. Sorry to miss you.

Obscuring facts on Bandon mosquitos

BY ROB TAYLOR The saga of The Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge & Mosquito Preserve is continuing to unfold as the people of the Coquille Valley are learning to live with what the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is calling an “acceptable amount” of mosquitoes.

Of course, there are differences of opinion on the term “acceptable.”

It is true there are fewer mosquitoes than there was during last year’s infestation. Nonetheless, some properties surrounding the marsh are still suffering “swarm levels” of significant proportions that did not exist until the service pulled the tide gates on the Niles-tuna section of the marsh and flooded the valley. Thankfully, the temporary suspension of the second phase of the planned expansion stopped the formation of 4,500 acres worth of breeding ponds.

Beginning in the spring of 2014, certain parts of the city of Bandon have, and continue to experience, a small influx of mosquitoes, which is more than there were before the first phase of the expansion was completed. The decrease from the previous year is due to the direct treatment of the infested area on the marsh, so the

Your Views problem is somewhat managed, but it has by no means been eliminated. According to the experts, the application of larvacides and pesticides could continue for the next six years, or indefinitely, depending on nature’s ability to produce enough natural predators to kill off the mosquitoes.

The government officials assigned with solving this dilemma have chosen to treat the symptoms, instead of curing the disease. Dredging new channels combined with the expense of continuous vector abatement will eventually cost several millions in public funding. Outside the marsh,the private sector is suffering infestations from previous fly offs and there is some concern among the professionals on whether there will ever be enough mosquito predators in the higher elevations of the valley to control the insect populations, which will permanently devalue the quality of life for those residents.

Alarmingly, there are different varieties of mosquitoes starting to appear in other parts of the valley and in the city of Bandon besides the summer salt marsh mosquito,

the Aedes dorsalis. The service is blaming standing water on private property for these new bugs, but the fact remains, these insects were not present until the service flooded the marsh.No matter how they try to obscure the issue, the topic should be about solutions, not public housing for bats and mosquito magnets. How many different species there are is hard to determine since the officials have only five traps actively collecting mosquitoes in the infested part of the county. A Ph.D. biologist, who is also a member of the county mosquito committee, recommended at least 50 traps. Is there a reason the officials do not want this data collected?

Ten leading American biologists in the field of vector abatement were asked in a phone survey if the service’s Integrated Marsh Management plan would be effective for this specific situation. Only six responded with “more than likely,” three said “maybe,” and one claimed that it would not be a good solution. The same 10 biologists were asked if diking the marsh and draining the swamp would solve the problem,

and, without hesitation, all of them said, “yes.”

All 10 agreed that removing the standing water, is, and has always been, the most cost effective way to eliminate mosquitoes without having to use toxic chemicals on a perpetual basis and history has proven it. Why has there been no discussion on using this established alternative?

The county’s inaction is the fault of the county commissioner in charge of resolving this issue, John Sweet. Sweet had an opportunity to take the question to the voters, but refused to put it on the ballot. He was late in forming the Vector Assessment & Control Advisory Committee and once formed, he appointed members to the community who are sympathetic with the agenda of the USFWS. It is no accident, nor surprise, the committee overwhelmingly decided to back Fish & Wildlife and support the agency’s IMM plan.

Local residents deserve a right to vote on how this issue is to be addressed in the future, and we need county commissioners who are willing to allow that to happen.

News of the West Using mother tongue makes conversation difficult DEAR ABBY: My son married an educated professional woman from another country. When their twins were born, my daughter-in-law immersed them in her native language so it would become their mother tongue.

Although I understand and respect the benefits of being bilingual, this caused a lot of communication gaps and frustration between us and the grandkids during their early years.

T h e y DEAR attend a bilingual elementary school now, and their English is superb and communic a t i o n between us is great. The JEANNE problem is, PHILLIPS when we are t o g e t h e r, my daughter-in-law speaks to her children exclusively in her native language. My son understands the conversation, but my husband and I do not know what is being said. We think this is rude and inconsiderate.

Are we being overly sensitive, or is this common practice in families with multiple languages? Our relationship with our daughter-in-law is polite and cordial, but not close or intimate. Any advice? — LEFT OUT IN FLORIDA DEAR LEFT OUT: This is not unusual in multilingual families, and I agree that it is inconsiderate. Have you spoken to your son and daughter-in-law about how this makes you feel? If you haven’t, you should, because she may not be deliberately trying to make you feel excluded.

When you raise the subject, choose your words and tone carefully. Because if you don’t, your relationship with your daughter-in-law could become a lot less cordial than it is.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 55year-old gay male who has been with my now-spouse, “Owen,” in a loving, committed relationship since 2005.

While earlier we could not legally marry, in 2006 we had a commitment ceremony bringing together close friends and family to acknowledge and celebrate our relationship. In 2013, Owen and I were finally able to legally marry in California.

My dilemma comes from people who don’t know what to call us. People often refer to my spouse as my “friend” or “partner.” At times I say nothing, but more often than not, I find myself saying, “Oh, you mean my HUSBAND.” Some of them thank me for the clarification; others just look at me with a blank stare.

Owen never corrects them because he feels it isn’t his place. I feel it’s my responsibility to do so, first so as to not play down the significance of our relationship, but also to educate these people.

Do you think this is inappropriate? — MARRIED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR MARRIED: Not at all. The people who refer to you and Owen as “partners” and “friends” are using terminology that is evolving because marriage among same-sex couples is still relatively new. As it becomes more commonplace, that will change. In the meantime, it’s completely appropriate for you and Owen to speak up.

P.S. For any reader who may not already know, gay men refer to their spouse as their husband and lesbians refer to theirs as their wife.

Oregon students face tough test this year

The Associated Press

This undated file photo provided by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shows Jonathan Koppenhaver, a mixed martial arts fighter who is accused of brutally beating his porn star girlfriend in Las Vegas and then fleeing to California. Koppenhaver, who fought under the name War Machine, is scheduled in Ventura County Superior Court Monday, Aug. 25, 2014 following his arrest Friday at a hotel in Simi Valley, Calif.

Fighter ‘War Machine’ extradited on assualt charges LAS VEGAS (AP) — The mixed martial arts fighter known as War Machine has been extradited to Las Vegas to face charges he beat his ex-girlfriend and then fled to California.

The man born Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver was booked into Clark County jail Saturday after he said in a Ventura County, California, courtroom last week that he wouldn’t contest his return to Nevada.

Koppenhaver, 32, a former porn actor, is accused of beating adult film actress Christy Mack and her male friend at a Las Vegas home on Aug. 8 before fleeing to the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley, where he was

arrested a week later.

Prosecutors have filed multiple felony battery, assault and coercion charges that could get Koppenhaver a total of more than 25 years in prison if he is convicted.

Mack told police that Koppenhaver showed up unannounced at her home as she and a friend, Corey Thomas, were sleeping and began beating Thomas.

Mack said Koppenhaver then began beating her as he read her text messages and she feared for her life when he sawed off her hair with a dull knife.

Police said Koppenhaver punched and kicked Mack, who was treated for extensive facial bruises, fractures

and lost teeth. Thomas suffered broken bones in his face.

Las Vegas police said in a statement Saturday that Koppenhaver wasn’t available for jailhouse interviews. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had an attorney.

Koppenhaver made his Fighting Ultimate Championship debut in 2007 and legally changed his name in 2008. He lost his only pay-per-view bout that same year.

He fought out of San Diego for a variety of promotions and had a 14-5 record as a welterweight. He lost his last fight, in Iowa, last October.

Pit bull mauls 2-year-old girl N EWS Man wounded by D I G E S T SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A 2-year-old girl was critically injured when she was mauled by a pit bull dog at a Springfield home.

Police say the dog also bit the girl’s 28-year-old father on the face Sunday when he attempted to rescue her.

The Register-Guard reports the girl was flown to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland where she was reported Monday in critical condition.

Animal Springfield Control says the dog that attacked the toddler was a large adult pit bull that belongs to a family member.

The pit bull and a lab-collie mix that growled at the girl are both quarantined at the animal control kennel for an investigation.

Fire burns 3 units at apartment building BEAVERTON (AP) — Police were forced to use a Taser on a man who refused to leave his apartment even though the building in Beaverton was on fire.

KOIN reports he was pulled to safety.

Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue says the man may have been in a mental health crisis. Everyone else made it out safely.

neighboring home just 2 feet away.

police treated, jailed Man stepped into path of car near Florence FLORENCE (AP) — Police say a pedestrian was struck and killed by a car on Highway 101 north of Florence in what may have been an intentional act on the part of the pedestrian.

According to the Oregon State Police, the 48-year-old man was a passenger in a vehicle headed to the store Monday. When the vehicle pulled into a private driveway, the man got out and approached the road.

Police say when a Honda Civic approached, the man moved into its path. The 19year-old driver veered left and hit the brake, but couldn’t avoid hitting the man who was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The investigation remains active.

4 escape Portland mobile home fire PORTLAND (AP) — Portland Fire and Rescue says two men and two women safely escaped from a burning home about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Rainbow Villa Mobile Home Park.

Firefighters say it was a challenging fire because of a downed power line, a burning natural gas line and a

PORTLAND (AP) — A man wounded by Portland police Monday has been released from a hospital and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.

Police say 27-year-old Denorris Laron McClendon is charged with menacing, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.

Police say he had been pointing a gun at passing cars on an Interstate 84 offramp, apparently attempting a carjacking. He refused to comply with police and pointed the gun at officers when he was shot.

Woman fabricated stabbing story VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The Clark County sheriff’s office says a Vancouver woman fabricated a story about being stabbed by a strange man in her own backyard.

Detectives determined her wounds were self-inflicted.

She had reported she was on her backyard deck Monday afternoon when a man slashed her with a large knife. She was treated for minor wounds to her face, chest and abdomen at PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center.

While an industrial park in the desert outside Reno, Nevada, is one known site, the other — or others — remains a mystery.Tesla has asked states not to discuss their offers, and states aren’t talking.

The effect is a game of high-stakes poker, with the states as players and Tesla dealing.

“You can’t see any cards at all. Do you stay in or not, push more chips onto the table or fold?” said Kim Hill, who studies incentives at the nonprofit Center for Automotive Research in Michigan.

The factory promises something that every state wants but rarely gets these days: thousands of goodpaying factory jobs and all the residual economic benefits they bring.

So far, Nevada, California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico remain contenders.

They have passed tax breaks, promised worker-training funds or proposed shelving environmental regulations that could slow the factory’s construction. There is talk of special legislative sessions to sweeten the bids.

When The Associated Press filed public records act requests for documents about the competition with each of the five finalist states, none released much useful information and most refused to release anything at all, citing the competitive need to keep their offers secret.

In one glimpse behind the curtain of confidentiality, California provided an email from a Tesla official to the governor’s senior adviser for jobs and economic development. It contained a newspaper story speculating on a possible site.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — From the start, little has been typical about Tesla Motors’ plan for a $5 billion factory to make batteries for a new generation of electric cars.

It’s not just the project’s massive scale, the cuttingedge technology, or even the bonanza of 6,500 good-paying jobs.

It’s how Tesla is deciding where to build.

Through a series of unusual plays, Tesla has five states bidding up subsidy packages to land the coveted plant. The winner is expected to offer the luxury car-maker publicly financed incentives exceeding a half-billion dollars.

Tesla signaled this would be no ordinary competition last fall, when it gathered economic development officials from seven Western states and unveiled its vision for a “gigafactory.” (“Giga” refers to the large amount of power that batteries produced at the plant will store.)

This spring, CEO Elon Musk announced Tesla would take the extremely unusual step of spending millions to prepare sites in two states — or perhaps even three — before the finalist was chosen. Then, over the summer, Musk said the winning state would pitch in about 10 percent of the cost, effectively signaling a minimum bid of $500 million.

“We don’t usually see companies setting a floor at which states will be considered,” said Leigh McIlvaine of the research group Good Jobs First, which tracks large subsidy packages by states.

For all the public anticipation Musk has created, much about the process remains secret.

been changing their methods to familiarize students with the demands of the test.

Brooke O’Neill, curriculum director in the David Douglas School District, told the newspaper that teachers have been preparing for more than a year. Teachers last year gave students practice versions of the most difficult part of the reading and writing test — a multi-part question requiring an hour or more to answer.

Teachers are creating assignments that have students practice what the test will ask of them — read two or more articles, passages or charts, then write a position paper that cites evidence from the articles.

The math section will require students to know correct terminology, explain their reasoning and show their steps to solve long problems.

Bethel Aster, a third-grade teacher at Durham Elementary in Tigard, said she will have students practice difficult math assignments until they can stay with one for a whole hour — how long it will take to solve a single complex problem on the test.

“They can’t just use their math in one problem then set it aside,” Aster told The Oregonian. “Maybe once a week, we’ll have a really long problem and I will model how we approach it, how we do it, how we work through it.”

PORTLAND (AP) — More than 500,000 students return to school in Oregon this week, and their parents will need to add a phrase to their own vocabulary as a new test rolls out this school year — Smarter Balanced.

The rigorous exam of reading, math, writing, listening, research and thinking skills will be given next spring to students in third through eighth grades and to high school juniors. Officials have yet to determine the test’s passing score, but results will be used to determine whether students are on track and how Oregon schools are performing, The Oregonian reported Sunday.

Though the exam is new, the change has been in motion since 2008, when a business-driven coalition persuaded most governors and state school leaders that U.S. schools had set their reading, math and writing standards too low for students to compete in the global economy, the newspaper reported.

That’s how the Common Core State Standards were born. Oregon was one of the first states to adopt the standards, and more than 40 states later followed. Old tests couldn’t measure how well schools are teaching the tougher standards, so that’s where Smarter Balanced comes in.

Nation and World Syrian rebels issue demands

The Associated Press

In this Dec. 8, 2008, file photo, armed al-shabab fighters on pickup trucks prepare to travel into the city, just outside Mogadishu, in Somalia. U.S. military forces targeted the Islamic extremist al-Shabab network in an operation Monday in Somalia, the Pentagon said.

6 militants killed in US Somalia strike MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Al-Shabab’s top leader was traveling in one of two vehicles hit Monday night by a U.S. military strike, a member of the Somali Islamic extremist group said Tuesday.

The spokesman would not say whether Somali Ahmed Abdi Godane, the rebel leader, was among the six militants killed.

The two vehicles were heading toward the coastal town of Barawe, al-Shabab’s main base, when they were hit, Abu Mohammed told The Associated Press.

U.S. military forces attacked the extremist al-Shabab network in Somalia Monday, the Pentagon confirmed.

A witness in Somalia described ground-shaking explosions caused by the strike. Somali government and African Union forces heading to a town in the district heard what sounded like an “earthquake” as the al-Shabab bases were hit, the governor of

Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region, Abdiqadir Mohamed Nor, told The Associated Press.

“There was an airstrike near Sablale. We saw something,” Nor said.

Al-Shabab attacked the upscale Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, killing at least 67 people a year ago this month and the U.S. targeted planners of the bloody assault.

The U.S. drone strike targeted Godane as he left a meeting of the group’s top leaders, said a senior Somali official. intelligence Intelligence indicated Godane “might have been killed along with other militants,” said the Somali official, speaking on condition of anonymity since he was not authorized to speak to the press.

The attack took place 105 miles south of Mogadishu, where al-Shabab trains its fighters, he said.

Godane, also known as

BEIRUT (AP) — AlQaida-linked Syrian rebels holding 45 Fijian peacekeepers hostage have issued a set of demands for their release, including the extremist group’s removal from a U.N. terrorist list and compensation for the killing of three of its fighters in a shootout with international troops, an official said Tuesday.

The Nusra Front seized the Fijians on Thursday in the Golan Heights, where a 1,200strong U.N. force monitors the buffer zone between Syria and Israel. The rebels also surrounded two Filipino units, but those U.N. troops escaped over the weekend.

Speaking in the Fijian capital of Suva, military commander Brig.Gen.Mosese

Tikoitoga said the Nusra Front has made three demands for the peacekeepers’ release: to be taken off the U.N. terrorist list; the delivery of humanitarian aid to parts of the Syrian capital of Damascus; and payment for three of its fighters it says were killed in a shootout with U.N. officers.

Tikoitoga did not say whether the rebels’ demands would be seriously considered. He said the U.N. had sent hostage negotiators to Syria to take over discussions from military leaders.

“Negotiations have moved up to another level with the professional negotiators now in place,” he said.

Tikoitoga also released the names of the 45 detained soldiers, who he said are led by

Captain Savenaca Siwatibau Rabuka. He asked Fiji’s community and church leaders to help look after the families of the captive troops and asked the public to also offer support.

“I appeal to all Fijians that while we pray for our soldiers in Syria that we be sensitive to the families,” he said, adding “the U.N. has assured us they will use all of their available resources for the safe return of our soldiers.”

Syrian rebels, including Nusra Front militants, seized a border crossing with Israel on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights on Wednesday. The area has been engulfed in heavy fighting between the opposition fighters and President Bashar Assad’s forces since then.

Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, is alShabab’s spiritual leader under whose direction the Somali militants forged an alliance with al-Qaida. In 2012 the U.S. offered a reward of up to $7 million for information leading to his arrest.

U.S. commanders said they are waiting to determine the outcome of Monday’s attack.

“U.S. military forces conducted an operation in Somalia today against the al-Shabab network. We are assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information as and when appropriate,” said Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby.

After the U.S. strike in a forest near Sablale district south of Mogadishu, masked Islamic militants in the area arrested dozens of residents they suspected of spying for the U.S. and searched nearby homes, a resident said.

Marijuana’s hazy contribution to highway deaths WASHINGTON (AP) — New York teenager Joseph Beer smoked marijuana, climbed into a Subaru Impreza with four friends and drove more than 100 mph before losing control.

The car crashed into trees with such force that the vehicle split in half, killing his friends.

Beer, who was 17 in October 2012 when the crash occurred, pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide and was sentenced last week to 5 years to 15 years in prison.

As states liberalize their marijuana laws, public officials and safety advocates worry there will be more drivers high on pot and a big

increase in traffic deaths. It’s not clear, though, whether those concerns are merited.

Researchers are divided on the question. A prosecutor blamed the Beer crash on “speed and weed,” but a jury that heard expert testimony on marijuana’s effects at his trial deadlocked on a homicide charge and other felonies related to whether the teenager was impaired by marijuana. Beer was convicted of manslaughter and reckless driving charges.

Studies of marijuana’s effects show that the drug can slow decision-making, decrease peripheral vision and impede multitasking, all of which are important driving skills. But unlike with

alcohol, drivers high on pot tend to be aware that they are impaired and try to compensate by driving slowly, avoiding risky actions such as passing other cars, and allowing extra room between vehicles.

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

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

Rights group accuses Islamic State militants of war crimes in Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) — An international rights group accused the extremist Islamic State group on Tuesday of carrying out a systematic campaign of “ethnic cleansing” in northern Iraq that includes mass killings, abductions and other war crimes.

In a new report, Amnesty International said militants have abducted “hundreds, if not thousands” of women and children who belong to the ancient Yazidi faith. The extremists also have rounded up Yazidi men and boys before killing them, the London-based group said.

Bankruptcy trial starting in Detroit DETROIT (AP) — Lawyers for Detroit will attempt to convince a federal judge at the city’s bankruptcy trial that its plans to wipe out billions of dollars in debt should be approved.

After some delays, the start of the trial Tuesday in U.S. District Court comes just over 13 months after Detroit became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy.

NEWS D I G E S T Detroit expects to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion, which is “more manageable,” according to Bill Nowling, a spokesman for emergency manager Kevyn Orr.

Putin’s statement quoted out of context MOSCOW (AP) — A Kremlin aide on Tuesday sharply criticized EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso for breaching confidentialitywhen he quoted President Vladimir Putin as saying Moscow could take over Kiev in two weeks, if it wished.

Yuri Ushakov, the Russian leader’s foreign policy adviser, told reporters that Putin’s statement was “taken out of context and carried a completely different meaning.”

Police abandon posts in Lesotho MASERU, Lesotho (AP) —

Police in Lesotho have been told to abandon their posts and not wear uniforms to avoid being targeted in attacks in the kingdom’s continuing power vacuum, an official said Tuesday.

At least one policeman was killed when the military disarmed police stations on Saturday. Radios were also jammed in what the prime minister said was a clear coup attempt in the country of about 2 million people.

ECONOMY Unemployment is at 6.2 percent Continued from Page A1 the time, we are better off as a country than we were when I came into office,” Obama said at a fundraiser Friday.

In an August memo to House and Senate Democrats, Obama’s top two economic advisers underscored the positive news: more than 200,000 jobs created per month for six consecutive months, a six-year high in auto sales, second-quarter growth that economic exceeded expectations and an expanding manufacturing sector.

Other positive signs: ■ The unemployment rate stands at 6.2 percent, dropping 1.1 points over the past year.The rate reached a high of 10 percent in October of 2009.

■ The economy grew at a rate of 4.2 percent in the second quarter of the year, though a weak start in the first quarter has lowered projections for the entire year.

■ The stock market has rallied, nearly tripling in five years. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed above 2,000 for the first time last week.

At the same time, public perceptions appear to present a muddle of confidence and anxiety.

In July, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence

index rose to its highest reading since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession began. But a new survey by Rutgers University found that Americans are more anxious about the economy now than they were right after the recession ended.

Among the negative signs: ■ The number of people unemployed for 27 weeks or more remains elevated, accounting for nearly 33 percent of the 9.7 million jobless workers. While the rate of long-term unemployed has dropped significantly from its peak in 2010, White House economic advisers Jason Furman and Jeff Zients noted in a blog post Monday, “The long-term unemployment rate remains roughly double its pre-recession average, and ... accounts for essentially all of the remaining elevation in the overall unemployment rate.”

■ Real hourly wages fell from the first half of 2013 to the first half of 2014 for all income groups, except for a 2cent increase for the lowest income level, according to the liberal Economic Policy Institute. That minor increase was attributed to minimum wage increases in states where 40 percent of workers live.

Both parties are seeking to exploit those weaknesses.

Republicans argue that the long-term unemployed and the flat wages are the result of Obama administration policies, on health care, the environment and more.

IRAQ 1,420 Iraqis killed in August Continued from Page A1 “came late” in the battle.

On Monday, Iraqi security forces and Shiite militiamen retook the nearby town of Suleiman Beg following fierce clashes with Sunni militants, Al-Tarzi said.

“The brave people of Amirli have made their town a new Stalingrad,” he added, referring to the former name of the Russian city of Volgograd, famous for resisting a long siege by the German military during World War II. “Amirli people have clearly shown that Iraqis could not be intimidated by terrorists.”

Since early this year, Iraq has faced a growing Sunni insurgency led by an alQaida-breakaway group, the Islamic State. With help from allied militants, they have taken over territory in the country’s north and west and created Iraq’s worst crisis since the 2011 withdrawal of U.S. troops.

In June, a summer offensive stunned Iraqi security forces and the military, which melted away and withdrew as the Islamic State group overran the northern cities of Mosul and Tikrit, as well as small towns and villages on their path.

Since then, Iraqi security

forces and Shiite militias have been fighting the militants without achieving significant progress on the ground.

Thousands of fighters from Iranian-backed Shiite militias have answered a call by al-Sistani to join government forces in the fight.

The U.S. airstrikes that helped liberate Amirli were the first to hit areas where Iranian-backed militias were fighting Sunni militants, possibly outlining an unlikely alliance between the U.S. and Shiite militiamen who once fought American soldiers in Iraq.

Military advisers from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard have been guiding Shiite militiamen in artillery attacks on Sunni positions.

Since Aug. 8, the U.S. has carried out at least 120 airstrikes with aircraft and unmanned drones. The military has American focused on areas bordering the self-ruled northern Kurdish region where Kurdish forces have been fighting the militants.

Also Monday, the United Nations said that at least 1,420 Iraqis were reported killed in violence in August, down from the previous month.

The U.N. mission to Iraq, known as UNAMI, said in its monthly statement that the death toll includes 1,265 civilians and 155 members of Iraq’s security forces.

Another 1,370 were wounded, including 1,198 civilians.

REEDSPORT Homes used for business Continued from Page A1 The minor home occupation would be a permitted use in some residential zones.

A business license cost $35.

A major home occupation would be a home used as a business by residents and one employee or by six customers in a given day. The rule would call for adequate, on-site parking. And classes conducted in such a business could not exceed four pupils at a given time.

There are other provisions, including an unlighted sign not to exceed 8 square feet.

The major home occupation would be a conditional use under the proposal.

“As soon as they needed to hire employees, as soon as that thing got big enough where you’re making noise and there are parking limitations,” Wright said, “we would push it into a conditional use permit.”

Discussion at the work session centered around specific businesses.

“For instance, a survey business,” said Planning Commission Chairman Allen Teitzel. “You might have two employees of the survey business. You come in the

morning and then you leave all day and you show up again at night and the employees go home. But, you might have more than one employee.

“I’m not sure that we should allow it, I’m just pointing it out.”

“I’m comfortable with the major,” commission member Chris Surina said. “I’m not comfortable with this minor thing ... because there are lots of people that have little businesses ... Grandma’s Sewing or whatever ... I doubt that they’d get businesses licenses.”

Sewing “Grandma’s would still be required (to get a business license),” Wright said. “Nothing’s changed with that. It’s simply deregulating that to allow them not to have to go through a planning process in order to operate businesses.”

The planning commission will have a series of meetings before making recommendations to the city council.

High school season kicks into gear today THE WORLD With school starting back up in several South Coast communities today, the fall sports season also sees its first busy day with several contests.

The best of those might be a girls soccer match in North Bend, where the Bulldogs host Philomath at 4:30 p.m.

Last year, Philomath handed North Bend it’s only regular-season setback, a 3-1 defeat. Ultimately, North Bend reached the state semifinals before losing to La Grande 1-0, while Philomath lost in the quarterfi-

nals to La Salle Prep.

North Bend and Marshfield both also start the volleyball season at home tonight, with the Bulldogs hosting Junction City and the Pirates entertaining Sutherlin in a pair of matches scheduled for 6 p.m. Last year, Marshfield’s match would have been a Far West League contest, but Sutherlin now is part of the Sky-Em League.

North Bend’s boys visit Junction City for soccer today and Marshfield’s soccer teams start the season Wednesday with a nonleague doubleheader at Newport.

North Bend and Bandon are part of a vol-

leyball jamboree Wednesday at Reedsport, starting at 5 p.m. Reedsport then visits Coquille on Thursday and hosts its annual invitational Saturday.

Powers and Pacific jump into Skyline League play this week, with Powers hosting Glendale on Thursday and Pacific hosting Camas Valley on Friday.

The football season kicks off Friday, when every South Coast team will be in action.

North Bend hosts North Valley and Marshfield visits Cottage Grove. Myrtle Point is home to face Riddle, while Coquille travels to face former Sunset Conference

rival Gold Beach. Reedsport is at Neah-KahNie, Bandon travels to Rogue River, Powers visits North Douglas, Siuslaw hosts Newport and Brookings-Harbor is home for Phoenix.

The first big meet of the cross country season for most South Coast teams is next Wednesday, when North Bend hosts every other South Coast team in its annual invitational at Tugman State Park near Lakeside, but Coquille gets a jump on the season Friday in the Umpqua Invitational at Roseburg and North Bend and Marshfield are part of the huge Ultimook Race in Tillamook on Saturday, which includes 77 teams.

NFL

McCoy seeks big season for Eagles PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeSean McCoy holds eight Philadelphia Eagles team records, is a two-time All-Pro, and already declared to the world that he’s the best running back in the NFL. He thinks he can do more.

“There’s different things that I can get better at,” McCoy said. “A lot of players, they hide it because they get to a certain level where they feel they’re so good. I don’t hide it. If I have a bad game, I’ll sit here and tell you I had a bad game.

That’s something I try to get better at. I want to be elite all the time.

Not just Sundays, every day.”

Anyone who paid attention to McCoy during training camp knows he wants to run for 2,000 yards this season. His obsession with that number is partly due to a promotional campaign for Bounce dryer sheets, but for McCoy the lofty goal isn’t a gimmick.

“Who wouldn’t like to do it?”

McCoy said. “But I just like to have fun with it. I let the media and all the fans really react to it, and the fantasy people. But the biggest thing is winning. That’s what I want to do. That’s the main goal.”

McCoy will start his quest for 2,000 against a run defense that was fourth worst in the NFL last year when the Eagles host the Jaguars in the season opener Sunday. You won’t hear him complain if he doesn’t get enough carries.

Coach Chip Kelly has zero tolerance for players who put individual goals ahead of the team.

Just ask DeSean Jackson, the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver who was released after having the best season of his career. Jackson had a reputation for pouting if he wasn’t happy with his receptions, even if the team won.

“All we care about is winning football games,” Kelly said. “We’ve never been driven by individual statistics and (McCoy) understands that. But if you ask him if he’d rather win a football game and run for 50 yards, I think he would be the first to tell you that than run for 200 yards and lose a football game. He’ll tell you he’d rather run for 50 and win a game.”

McCoy set a franchise record with 1,607 yards rushing last year, surpassing Wilbert Montgomery’s 1,512 in 1979. His 2,146 yards from scrimmage also were a team record. He led the NFL in both categories, the first Eagles player to do so since Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren in 1947.

His most impressive feat came in a win over Detroit on Dec. 8 when he plowed through 8 inches of snow for a team-record 217 yards. He had four 150-yard games last season while no other back in the league had more than one.

But McCoy was held to 60 yards or less six times. So he’s right about improving. He needs more consistency.

“Sometimes I get wrapped up in my God-gifted ability instead of actually doing the fundamental things,” McCoy said. “Reading my keys, all the small things that you get away with because of your natural talent. But sometimes if you let the play develop and then use the other stuff, it makes me better.”

Kelly is tough on his star player.

He also says McCoy can take his game to a higher level.

“He can do everything better,” Kelly said. “He can do a better job in pass protection, he can do a better job in short-yardage situations, he can do a better job in eliminating negative plays where maybe the hole is not exactly there, but second-and-9 is better than second-and-14.”

Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels,left, celebrates with teammates after he and three relievers combined on a no-hitter against Atlanta on Monday.

Four Phillies team up to no-hit Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) — On Labor Day, Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia bullpen spread the workload on a no-hitter.

Hamels and three Phillies relievers combined on the season’s fourth no-hitter, blanking the Atlanta Braves 7-0 Monday and giving a last-place team a rare reason to celebrate.

It was all the more unusual in that Hamels left the game with his bid intact after six innings. He was fine with the decision, too, having already thrown 108 pitches at a hot afternoon at Turner Field.

“Just understanding the situation, every time I went out there I was battling control issues,” Hamels said. “I wasn’t getting ahead of guys. Walking the leadoff hitter will put you in a lot of trouble, and it does. It builds up your pitch count.”

Hamels (8-6) struck out seven,

matched a season high with five walks and hit a batter.

Relievers Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon each pitched a perfect inning to close out the 11th combined no-hitter in big league history. A smiling Hamels watched from the bench as they finished off what he started.

“I think having a combined nohitter is very difficult because guys have to come right in and get the guys out, no matter what the situation is,” Hamels said. “It’s a little more dramatic to be able to see that you’re trying to play the cards as best you can against the lineup.”

Manager Ryne Sandberg knew Hamels was tired and ready to come out of the game. Their discussion was a quick one.

“It didn’t take long,” Sandberg said. “He was pretty well spent there. The early innings had something to do with it. The

stressful innings, stranding the runners at second and third a couple of times, but he wasn’t going to go nine. And he ran the bases the inning before.”

Papelbon was in the middle of the hugs and handshakes on the mound when it was over.

“I think it’s a cool experience,” Papelbon said. “It’s definitely been a rough go at it this year for our ballclub. Something to kind of hang our hat on for the year. Cole has been our bona fide ace for the entire the season, and it’s good to preserve those wins for our starters. Today it was preserving a no-hitter.”

Clayton Kershaw and Josh Beckett of the Dodgers and Tim Lincecum of the Giants threw nohitters earlier this year.

Right fielder Marlon Byrd foiled the Braves’ best bid for a hit.

With runners on second and third in the third inning, Byrd raced in

and toward the line to make a diving catch on Chris Johnson’s slicing liner to end the inning.

“It happened at a perfect time, making that catch,” Byrd said.

“Keeping him in the game, keeping us in the lead, the whole nine.

It was nice.”

Johnson came close again in the ninth with a grounder up the middle. Shortstop Jimmy Rollins ranged behind the bag to make the play.

Phil Gosselin then lined out to first baseman Darin Ruf, who had taken over in the ninth for Ryan Howard, to end the game.

Hamels singled and scored in the sixth inning, and got pats of congratulations in the dugout after pitching the bottom half. He was on deck in the seventh, but Sandberg’s decision already was made when Hamels was pulled for pinch-hitter Grady Sizemore.

Bouchard struggles at steamy U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Bothered by the heat and stifling humidity, Eugenie Bouchard felt dizzy and her vision was blurry.

She got her blood pressure checked. Plastic bags filled with ice were rubbed on her shoulders, arms and legs during a second-set medical timeout.

Bouchard tried to carry on, but it was hardly an ideal time to try to win a tennis match. The No. 7-seeded Bouchard became the latest top woman to bow out at this surprise-filled U.S. Open, beaten 7-6 (2), 6-4 Monday by 17thseeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia in the fourth round.

It ended Bouchard’s streak of making at least the semifinals at each Grand Slam tournament this year. That included a runner-up finish at Wimbledon in July; the 20-year-old Canadian is only 4-4 since then.

“I definitely felt a lot of outside expectations and pressure to win matches. I felt more like it’s normal if I win, and it’s a bit more of a disaster when I lose,” Bouchard said. “But that’s something that I need to block out.”

In muggy air, with the temperature in the high 80s (above 30 Celsius), Bouchard began having trouble from the middle of the first set and was checked on by a trainer during the changeover after the second set’s fifth game.

During that delay, Makarova cooled down by putting ice bags on herself.

Asked what went through her mind during Bouchard’s medical break, Makarova smiled.

“Well, actually, I thought, ‘Thanks,’ because

The Associated Press

Eugenie Bouchard reacts after a shot against Ekaterina Makarova during their match Monday at the U.S. Open.

I also was tired,” Makarova said with a smile. “It was really (helpful) for me also.”

It’s not the first time Bouchard has been affected by heat, saying it happened at last year’s U.S. Open, too, and as a junior at the Australian Open.

“Once in a while, I get a little bit light-headed,” Bouchard said. “That’s what happens.”

Her exit means that for the first time since 1977, eight women will have filled the eight finalist slots at a season’s Grand Slam tournaments.

Petra Kvitova defeated Bouchard at Wimbledon; Kvitova departed in the third round in Flushing Meadows against 145thranked qualifier Aleksandra Krunic, who tried to pull off another shocker against two-time U.S. Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka but couldn’t quite do it. Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, took four of the last five games to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 Monday night.

At the French Open in June, Maria Sharapova edged Simona Halep; Sharapova lost to Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round in New York, and Halep went out in the third round against qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.

And at the Australian Open in January, Li Na beat Dominika Cibulkova; Li didn’t even enter the U.S. Open because of a knee injury, and Cibulkova was stunned by 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis in the first round.

While Makarova is into the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the second year in a row, Bouchard’s early-for-her major exit certainly fits with the way things have gone the past eight days. Of the top 10 seeded women, only two remain: No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 10 Wozniacki.

Sports Europe finalizes team for Ryder Cup

Oakland beats Seattle

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Adam Dunn provided instant pop for the struggling Athletics, hitting a towering, two-run homer in his first at-bat for Oakland to highlight a 6-1 win over Seattle to start a big series.

Acquired a day earlier in a trade with the Chicago White Sox, Dunn became the 12th player in Oakland history to homer in his first at-bat with the team.

Dunn homered off Chris Young (12-7) during a fiverun first inning.

MLB His drive a Recap was welcome sight for a team that just got swept in a four-game series by the AL West-leading Angels and was shut out for 29 straight innings.

Jason Hammel (2-5) allowed three hits in eight innings.

Royals 4, Rangers 3: Salvador Perez homered and drove in three runs, and the Royals snapped a three-game losing streak.

Perez, who had three hits, went deep in the third with Alex Gordon aboard. His two-out double in the first scored Gordon, who had singled and swiped second.

Twins 6, Orioles 4: Joe Mauer drove in four runs, Phil Hughes (15-9) held Baltimore without an earned run over eight innings and the Twins avoided a fourgame sweep.

Nelson Cruz hit his major-league leading 36th home run and Nick Hundley had a three-run shot for the AL East-leading Orioles, who lost for only the second time in eight games.

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Stephen Gallacher are Europe’s wildcard selections for this month’s Ryder Cup against the United States at Gleneagles.

Fo r m e r No. 1 Luke Donald was the highprofile player overlooked

by Europe captain Paul McGinley when he announced his three picks Tuesday at European Tour headquarters at Wentworth.

Gallacher, a Scot, is one of three rookies in the 12-man European team, along with Victor Dubuisson and Jamie Donaldson. The other players who qualified automatically for McGinley’s team are Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer, Thomas Bjorn and Graeme McDowell.

Donald has been on the winning side in each of his four appearances for Europe but has struggled for form this year after making changes to his swing.

The Ryder Cup will be played from Sept. 26-28.

Oakland’s Adam Dunn hits a two-run home run against the Seattle Mariners during the first inning Monday. three homers off Cleveland’s Corey Kluber.

Price (13-10) gave up one run and eight hits in seven innings. The left-hander was coming off a troubling loss to New York in which he allowed nine consecutive hits in one inning and eight runs over two.

Rays 4, Red Sox 3, 10 innings: Matt Joyce hit an RBI single in the 10th inning to help Tampa Bay salvage a split of a four-game series with Boston.

Ryan Hanigan opened the 10th with a double off Burke Badenhop (0-3), which withstood a replay review. Kevin Kiermaier was intentionally walked before Ben Zobrist had a sacrifice bunt. After Wil Myers was given an intentional walk, pinch-runner Sean Rodriquez, who ran for Hanigan, scored on Joyce’s hit.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Nationals 6, Dodgers 4: Denard Span hit two of Washington’s four homers, Gio Gonzalez (7-9) got his first victory of the second half and the Nationals beat the Dodgers in a matchup of division leaders.

The East-leading Nationals (78-58) own the NL’s best record while the Dodgers (77-61) are atop the West and close behind in pursuit of the top seed, despite losing for the third

time in four games.

Gonzalez allowed three runs and three hits in sixplus innings. The left-hander was 0-5 with a 4.38 ERA in his previous nine games.

Rockies 10, Giants 9; Giants 4, Rockies 2: Charlie Blackmon lined a two-out single in the ninth inning off Sergio Romo, helping the Rockies stop the Giants’ sixgame win streak on a long day at Coors Field.

Earlier in the day, the Giants broke away from a tie and beat Colorado 4-2 in a game that resumed after it was suspended May 22 in the sixth inning because of rain.

In the regularly scheduled game, Rockies reliever LaTroy Hawkins (3-2) blew a save in the top of the ninth. In the bottom half, Mike McKenry led off with a single up the middle off Romo (54). McKenry scored from third when Blackmon’s hit fell near the right-field line.

Cubs 4, Brewers 2: Welington Castillo homered and drove in three runs, Luis Valbuena also hit a home run and the Cubs sent Milwaukee to its sixth straight loss.

Rookie sensation Jorge

Soler had two doubles in his home debut for the Cubs.

Soler became just the third player in the last 100 years to have at least one extra-base hit in each of his first five games in the majors.

Will Middlebrooks did it for Boston in 2012 and Enos Slaughter for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1938.

Cardinals 5, Pirates 4: Matt Holliday had the goahead RBI single in the seventh inning after Kolten Wong’s pinch-hit homer tied it, leading the Cardinals over Pittsburgh.

St. Louis moved into sole possession of first place in the NL Central for the first time this season with its third straight win. The Cardinals are one game ahead of Milwaukee.

Marlins 9, Mets 6: Giancarlo Stanton hit his 34th home run and the Miami Marlins scored three runs in the eighth inning to beat the New York Mets.

Padres 3, Arizona 1: Cory Spangenberg had a two-run single for his first big league hit and Tyson Ross (13-12) pitched six strong innings to lead the San Diego Padres over Arizona.

Houston fires manager, bench coach HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros are looking toward the future, and they decided there is no time like the present to get going on that.

Entering the final month of a dismal season, the Astros fired manager Bo Porter on Monday, saying the dismissal had less to do with the team’s 59-79 record than the need for “new direction” and a “united message throughout the entire organization.”

This season can’t be saved, but there was no point in wasting any time in the big, upcoming rebuilding process.

Porter, in his second season with the Astros, was replaced by interim manager Tom Lawless, who worked in Houston’s minor league system.

Lawless’ first game in charge is Tuesday night at home against the first-place Los Angeles Angels.

Bench coach Dave Trembley also was let go.

Porter joined the Astros after working as a third-base coach for the

Washington Nationals. The Astros went a franchise-worst 51-111 in his first season for their third straight 100-loss season.

General manager Jeff Luhnow said the decision was not based on “our current level of competitiveness.” The Astros entered Monday in fourth place in the AL West with the second-worst record in the league.

“I recognize that our win-loss record is largely a product of an organizational strategy for which I am responsible,” Luhnow said in a statement. “Rather, I made this decision because I believe we need a new direction in our clubhouse.”

Luhnow refused repeatedly to get into more detail about why Porter was let go as he fielded questions for almost 25 minutes on Monday afternoon. He did say that he had been mulling the move for a few weeks and that he made the final decision on Sunday.

“Once you make a decision it is in

everyone’s best interest to move it along,” he said. “It’s easier to wait until the end of the season in some respects, but it’s not fair to Bo and it’s not fair to us.”

Owner Jim Crane said the firing was “not an easy decision to make.” It comes following recent reports citing sources who said Luhnow and Porter were not getting along. Luhnow wouldn’t address those rumors other than to say that there were “numerous inaccuracies” in the reports.

Porter issued a statement Monday afternoon.

“During my time in Houston I dedicated myself to do everything I could to help this organization win, in the shortterm and for the long-term,” he said in the statement. “I am proud of what we were able to accomplish in Houston with an organization in transition. I’m gratified we were able to bring some excitement to this city as a result of our improvement from 2013 to 2014.”

Gronkowski says he will play in Patriots’ opener FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Star tight end Rob Gronkowski stood in front of his Gillette Stadium locker Monday and announced he will be playing in the New England Patriots’ opener at Miami this Sunday.

Saying he is “super excited,” Gronkowski vowed to be on the field after he didn’t play in any of the four preseason games as he completed his recovery from December right knee surgery.

Gronkowski, who tore his right ACL and MCL on Dec. 8, is a two-time Pro Bowler and was an All-Pro in 2011.

He has 226 catches with 42 touchdowns in 50 regularseason games.

Last season, coming off multiple surgeries and an arm infection, he appeared in seven games, catching 39 passes, four for touchdowns, before going down on a hit by safety T.J. Ward, then of the Cleveland Browns.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Washington will go with Miles at quarterback SEATTLE — Washington

Kirk makes case for spot will turn to Cyler Miles at quarterback when the No. 25 on U.S. Ryder Cup team Huskies make their home NORTON, Mass. — Chris Kirk made three big putts and captured the biggest win of his career Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Whether that was enough for U.S. captain Tom Watson to add him to the Ryder Cup team was the least of his concerns.

Kirk won for the second time this season. He went the last 37 holes at the TPC Boston without a bogey. He played the final two rounds with Rory McIlroy and outplayed the No. 1 player in the world. And he closed with a 5-under 66 for a two-shot victory in a FedEx Cup playoff event.

Watson will announce his captain’s selections today in New York.

Kirk made three big putts on the back nine — two of them for birdie — but what pleased him the most was his 15-foot putt for par on the 15th hole that kept him in the lead.

Billy Horschel had a chance to at least force a playoff — and possibly win — when he stood in the fairway on the par-5 18th hole with a 6-iron in his hand. Horschel chunked the shot so badly that it barely reached the hazard, and he made bogey for a 69.

Horschel tied for second with 54-hole leader Russell Henley (70) and Geoff Ogilvy.

NFL Welker returns to practice for Broncos ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Wes Welker returned to practice Monday for the first time since sustaining a concussion in an Aug. 23 preseason game against the Houston Texans.

The Denver slot receiver ran short routes during the 20-minute viewing period open to the media.

Welker’s concussion was his third in 10 months. He got hurt on a hard hit from D.J. Swearinger that prompted Peyton Manning to swear at the swaggering safety.

Welker caught 73 passes for 778 yards and a careerhigh 10 TDs last season despite missing the last 3 1-2 games. He also had 18 grabs for 160 yards and a TD in the playoffs.

Rams don’t choose Sam for practice squad ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams signed 10 players to their practice squad. As expected, Michael Sam wasn’t among them.

The Rams added two each at linebacker, offensive line, wide receiver and safety Monday, fortifying needy positions. Sam starred at defensive line for Missouri, but coach Jeff Fisher said the defensive line was the strongest group on the team. quarterback Rookie Garrett Gilbert and seven others were among the cuts that got the roster to 53 players.

debut under coach Chris Petersen.

Miles will start against Eastern Washington, Petersen announced on Monday. He replaces Jeff Lindquist, who struggled to move the offense for most of Washington’s 17-16 win at Hawaii in the opener. Miles was suspended for spring camp and the season’s first game for his involvement in two assaults the night of the Super Bowl in February. He wasn’t charged in the incidents.

Miles was the favorite to win the starting job before the off-field troubles. He made a spot start against Oregon State a year ago and completed 15 of 22 passes for 162 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in guiding the Huskies to a win.

TRACK & FIELD Lewis joins Houston staff on full-time basis HOUSTON — Carl Lewis has agreed to become a fulltime coach for the track and field program at the University of Houston.

The Olympic great was a volunteer assistant last season. Head coach Leroy Burrell said Monday in a release that Lewis is taking on a full-time role for the 2014-15 campaign, and will coach sprints and jumps for the Cougars.

Burrell said Lewis “brings a wealth of experience and international recognition to the program.”

Lewis won 10 Olympic medals and 10 world championship medals in his career.

The six-time All-American won six national titles and nine individual conference titles in two seasons at Houston, where he competed on the same team with Burrell.

Lewis held the world record in the men’s 100meter dash from 1991 until Burrell broke it in 1994.

HOCKEY Former Rangers star defender Vadnais dies NEW YORK — Former NHL defenseman Carol Vadnais, a six-time all-star, has died. He was 68.

The New York Rangers reported on their website that Vadnais, who spent seven seasons with the team, passed away Sunday.

A cause of death wasn’t given.

Vadnais made his NHL debut in 1966-67 with his hometown Montreal Canadiens and played 17 NHL seasons, winning the Stanley Cup in 1968 with Montreal and 1972 with Boston. He also played for the California Golden Seals and New Jersey Devils.

Vadnais had 169 goals and 587 points in 1,087 games. He appeared in 106 playoff games with 10 goals and 40 assists.

Sports Raiders pick rookie Carr to start at QB ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland rookie Derek Carr will start the season opener against the New York Jets, becoming the first Raiders quarterback to start the first game of his rookie season.

Coach Dennis Allen announced Monday that Carr would be the starter for the foreseeable future ahead of Matt Schaub, who struggled in the preseason and has been hampered by a sore elbow.

“We’ve seen signs of Derek Carr’s development from the day he stepped on campus here to where he is at right now,” Allen said. “We’ve seen him grow by leaps and bounds and I think he’s ready to accept the challenge.”

Schaub was anointed starter after being acquired in a trade from Houston in March but has been outplayed by Carr all summer.

Carr solidified the starting job by throwing three touchdown passes and leading the Raiders to the end zone four times in as many drives

against Seattle last week.

“It’s not an indictment on Matt Schaub at all,” Allen said. “I feel very confident in Matt Schaub. I think it says more about we feel Derek Carr is in his progression.”

Carr, a second-round pick out of Fresno State in May, will become the 18th starting quarterback for the Raiders since the start of the 2003 season.

Carr was one of the most prolific quarterbacks in college football last season. He threw for 5,083 yards and 50 touchdowns with only eight interceptions in a spread offense at Fresno State that included many quick screens and almost exclusively shotgun formations.

But he also played one year in college in a pro-style offense under former coach Pat Hill and has made the transition back to that kind of system since joining the Raiders.

Carr played well in the preseason, completing 66.7 percent of his passes.

TENNIS From Page B1 The top-seeded man, Novak Djokovic, played mostly mistake-free tennis, making only 19 unforced errors and facing only two break points — both saved — in a 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 victory over 22nd-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany.

Djokovic, the 2011 U.S. Open champion, earned a spot in the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open for the eighth year in a row — and at a 22nd consecutive Grand Slam tournament overall.

Djokovic now meets twotime major champion Andy Murray, who got past No. 9 JoWilfried Tsonga 7-5, 7-5, 6-4.

2014 by overwhelming 50thranked Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-3, 6-3 Monday. Williams has lost 17 games all told — the eighth time she has made it to the U.S. Open quarterfinals dropping that many or fewer.

One of the few glitches came when she tried to serve for the match at 5-2 in the second set, double-faulting twice in a row and getting broken. That, Williams acknowledged, came from feeling a bit of self-imposed pressure after losing in the Australian Open’s fourth round, French Open’s second round, and Wimbledon’s third round.

“I think I felt it in my service game,” Williams said.

“I’m like, ‘Can I please make it to a Grand Slam quarters this year?”’

Pursuing a third straight U.S. Open title and 18th Grand Slam championship, Williams has avoided potential matchups against Kvitova, Bouchard and past major champions Ana Ivanovic and Sam Stosur, who beat Williams in the 2011 U.S. Open final.

Williams is 5-0 against her next opponent, No. 11 Flavia Pennetta of Italy.

The trouble with cured salmon? We tend to treat it like, well... a treat.

Cured salmon — with all its rich, salty, savory, lusciously fatty goodness — too often is relegated to the breakfast or brunch table, and even then mostly for special occasions. It’s partly a case of association; we think of it as a specialty item not intended for everyday eating. But it’s also a case of cost. Cured (as well as its cousin, smoked) close salmon isn’t cheap.

So we decided to break both those barriers. Let’s start with cost. Gravlax — as cured salmon is known by its Nordic name — generally is made by dry-curing fillets of salmon in a blend of sugar, kosher salt, fresh dill and a variety of other seasonings.

The process extracts moisture from the flesh of the salmon, producing a smooth, yet meaty texture and a wonderfully salty-sweet flavor.

Gala precedes Octoberfish CHARLESTON — This is your opportunity to join community members for the first Octoberfish Gala event to help raise funds for the Charleston Food Pantry and for the new Charleston Marine Life Science Center.

Only 100 tickets will be sold to the event, which will be cohosted by Shark Bites Cafe, Coos Bay Surfriders and the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. Gala activities are 710 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3.

This is an evening of hors d’ouvres, wine, beer, music (ala Che’s Lounge), and a private screening of the indie film “Taking My Parents to Burning Man” featuring Knute Namath and the rest of the Tuna Guys. The Tuna

It’s also ridiculously easy to make. While you pay a premium for ready-to-eat cured salmon, you can make your own for not much more than the cost of the salmon itself. And the only equipment you’ll need are a food processor (for making the cure) and a zip-close plastic bag. And obviously you’ll want to buy the very best and freshest salmon you can find.

Once you have the salmon, it’s as simple as grinding together the curing ingredients, rubbing them on the fish, and refrigerating it.

A couple days later, you enjoy smoked salmon.

Now let’s talk about that enjoyment. The classic serving suggestion is to accompany thinly sliced cured salmon with rye bread, whole-grain mustard, capers, chopped fresh dill and shaved red onion. But that’s just the start. Cured salmon has all sorts of potential at the dinner table.

Some of our favorites SEE SALMON | C2

The whole-grain, fruit-packed blueberry banana muffins can begin a day with a healthy start.

Guys have been supporting Charleston families by contributing tuna dinners at Octoberfish for nine years.

Check out the movie trailer at www.youtube.com/watch?v= AnEaw8NvXto. Screening of the Octoberfish movie will be in the OIMB Boathouse. After the film, walk back along Boat Basin Drive returning to the new Marine Life Center with food, wine, etc.

Tickets to the Octoberfish Gala are $75 each and are available at Seven Devils Brewing Co., Shark Bites, the South Slough Reserve’s gift shop or online at http://www.eventbrite.com /e/octoberfish-gala-tickets12572114533.

Banishing the blues with healthy muffins

BY SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Cooking with herb, the rise of cannabis cuisine

BY MICHELLE LOCKE The Associated Press

There are books about cooking with herbs. And then there are books about cooking with herb.

Yes, we’re talking cannabis cuisine, a small niche in the culinary world but one that is drawing more interest as the legalization movement moves pot closer to the mainstream.

“When I sell books personally at events like Seattle

and Denver Hempfest County Fair, response has been huge in those states that have newly legalized, and I will sell hundreds of copies over a weekend,” says Elise McDonough, author of the “The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook,” which grew out of the recipe column in the magazine (which, by the way, turns 40 this year).

McDonough, who lives in SEE HERB | C2

Ripe, plentiful blueberries are such a highlight of summer that some of us are prone to getting the blueberry blues during the rest of the year.

Happily, imported and frozen blueberries make it easy to enjoy them all the time. In fact, if you’re really on your game, you can pick extra now and freeze them for later. And when later comes around, those frozen hand-picked berries make for some pretty awesome muffins.

But before you get out the muffin pan, let’s tackle some of the issues we often run into when making muffins. Typically, the batter is made with white flour and a ton of fat and sugar. It’s a delicious combination, but one that makes blueberry muffins more an indulgence than a healthy choice.

It was easy to swap some of the white flour with whole wheat, but I also added oat flour to the mix.

I worried oat flour might be hard to find, but that’s when I discovered that making your own easy; just pulverize the oats in a blender until smooth. I loved what the oats brought to the recipe besides lots of fiber and

Muffins have 170 calories and 4.5 grams of fat and 29 grams of carbs nutrients, principally a sweeter and heartier flavor than wheat flour. They also made the muffins moister.

Thanks to the mashed banana, which contributed moisture of its own, this recipe for a dozen muffins required only 3 tablespoons of butter. Just make sure the banana is very ripe to get the most out of its flavor and natural sugars. I also substituted low-fat — and big-flavored — buttermilk for the full-fat milk usually called for.

Finally, I jacked up the pleasure quotient by adding lemon and cinnamon — which always pair up beautifully with blueberries — and conjured some crunch by topping the muffins with a little extra sugar.

Considering that this recipe requires only 25 minutes of hands-on time, you might frequently find yourself whipping up batches of blueberry muffins in the dead of winter. They are sure to banish those blueberry blues.

HEARTY BLUEBERRYBANANA MUFFINS

Start to finish: 50 minutes (25 minutes active) Makes 12 muffins 1 cup oat flour (made by pulverizing 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons old fashioned oatmeal in a blender or processor until smooth) 3 ⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided 1 ⁄2 cup white wholewheat flour 1 ⁄3 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄4 teaspoon table salt 2 teaspoons lemon zest 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 small very ripe banana, mashed (about 1⁄4 cup) 3 ⁄4 cup buttermilk 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 11⁄4 cups frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons granulated sugar Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or coat it with baking spray.

In a large bowl, combine 3 the oat flour, ⁄4 cup of the all-purpose flour, the white whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, lemon zest and cinnamon.

In a medium bowl, combine the banana with the buttermilk, egg and butter.

Mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until they are just combined.

In a medium bowl toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, then transfer them to a strainer and shake off the excess flour. Add the blueberries to the batter and gently fold them in.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan.

The batter should be slightly mounded above the edge. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the batter, then bake the muffins on the oven’s middle shelf for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted at the center of the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins rest, in the pan, for 5 minutes before serving.

Cuisine HERB Interest follows legalization Continued from Page A1

Gravlax , as cured salmon is known by its Nordic name, generally is made by dry-curing fillets of salmon in a blend of sugar, kosher salt, fresh dill and a variety of other seasonings. The process extracts moisture from the flesh of the salmon, producing a smooth, yet meaty texture and a wonderfully salty-sweet flavor.

SALMON Continued from Page C1 include: ■ Pasta: Toss warm pasta with creme fraiche, thinly sliced scallions, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, a spoonful of drained capers, chopped fresh thyme, black pepper and thinly sliced cured salmon.

The residual heat of the pasta will just barely heat the salmon and melt the creme fraiche into a wonderful sauce. To boost the flavor of everything, add just a dash of Sriracha.

■ Crepes: Savory crepes make “breakfast for dinner” so much better. Fill warm crepes with sour cream, cured salmon, fresh dill and sliced tomatoes.

■ Grilled cheese: Slap some salmon, roasted red peppers (patted dry) and gouda between thick slices of sourdough bread. Toast until the cheese is melty.

■ Pizza: Roll out a ball of pizza dough, slather it with olive oil, then toss it on the grill. Grill each side for just a few minutes, or until lightly browned. As soon as the crust is done, top it with arugula, soft goat cheese, cured salmon and copious amounts of black pepper.

CLASSIC GRAVLAX (WITH VARIATIONS) Select a 2-pound, centercut fillet of salmon that is at

least 1 inch thick. Any thin ends should be trimmed to keep the salmon as uniformly thick as possible. While the salmon can be cured with the skin on, we like to trim it off.

The salmon will need to be handled with care once the skin is removed, but it makes the finished product easier to slice. It also allows the cure to penetrate more evenly.

To remove any small bones from the salmon, start by rubbing your hand over the flesh, moving against the grain.

You’ll often find a short line of very thin bones sticking up.

The easiest way to remove them is to grasp them with tweezers and gently tug.

Start to finish: 3 days Servings: 16 1 cup sugar 1 ⁄2 cup kosher salt 1 tablespoon dill seeds 1 large bunch fresh dill 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2-pound center-cut salmon fillet, any small bones removed In a food processor, combine the sugar, salt, dill seeds, fresh dill and pepper. Pulse until the dill is well chopped and the mixture is combined.

Spread the mixture over both sides of the salmon.

Place the fillet in a large zipclose plastic bag. Close the bag, then place on a baking sheet, to keep the fillet flat, and refrigerate for 36 to 48 hours. Flip the bag every 12 hours to redistribute the curing mixture.

the bag, scrape off the seasoning mixture, then pat it dry with paper towels. If you have trouble brushing off the seasonings — or find the taste too strong — you also can rinse the salmon under cool water, then pat it dry. To serve, slice the salmon thinly against the grain of the flesh.

Wrapped tightly in plastic and refrigerated, gravlax will keep for 2 weeks.

Santa Cruz, California, has a new book out this summer, “Marijuana for Everybody,” which includes a chapter on cooking with cannabis, as well as advice on selecting edibles from newly legal retailers in Washington state and Colorado, the two states that allow the recreational use of marijuana.

“I think as the legalization juggernaut continues to roll across the nation, you’re going to see a lot more interest and a lot more books,” says McDonough.

Finding hard data on pot cookbook sales is tough. But a look at Amazon’s rankings show that several, including McDonough’s, are enjoyed renewed sales vigor, particularly considering their specialty status and that most are at least several years old. McDonough says about 35,000 copies of the High

Sicard, who lives in the Los Angeles area, was a food writer before she became a marijuana recipe expert.

That’s a skill she developed after getting a medical recommendation to take marijuana for chronic nausea. Researching ways to use marijuana, and wading through advice both good and bad on the Internet, prompted her to write her own book.

“There is a lot of misinformation out there and that is why there is the need for good cookbooks,” she says.

Krista Lyons, publisher of Berkeley, California.-based Seal Press, which is publishing Sicard’s new book, has seen the market change for marijuana books. It’s not that no one published them before; there’s a history of small publishers releasing books about marijuana. But now “you can walk into an Urban Outfitters and find a book about pot on a front table,” she says. “It’s just an indicator that attitudes have shifted."

Times cookbook have sold, a respectable total for a niche genre.

Titles in the marijuana cookbook category include “The Ganja Cookbook Revolution” by Jessica Catalano, “Baked: Over 50 Tasty Marijuana Treats,” and “The Cannabis Gourmet Cookbook,” by Cheri Sicard.

Sicard, like McDonough, has a new book coming out — “Mary Jane: The Complete Marijuana Handbook for Women” — cheekily set for release on 4-20-15, an unofficial holiday for marijuana fans. And it, too, goes beyond recipes to take more of a general lifestyle approach.

Sicard has noticed an uptick in interest since legalization, though not a drastic one, since a number of states already allow medical use of marijuana. She also notes that people have been cooking with pot for a long time.

Pot brownies, after all, are practically a cliche.

But brownies, points out Sicard, are not the only choice for the marijuana cook. In fact, it’s easier to work with the pronounced

have increased exponentially,” says wine expert Mike DeSimone, co-author with Jeff Jenssen of “Wines of California: The Comprehensive Guide,” scheduled for release in September.

Among the emerging varieties: “Definitely mavrud from Bulgaria and malvasia Istriana from Croatia. Also, we’re seeing more nero d’avola and grillo from Sicily,” says Jenssen. (Mavrud is a red wine, malvasia a white.) “The funny thing is, none of these is new. They are just new to the American wine market.”

Take Sicily, a region primarily known for cheap bulk wine until relatively recently, when producers started focusing on quality.

“International varieties” such as merlot and cabernet sauvignon can and do grow here.

But there also are interesting local grapes such as nero d’avola (neh-row DA-vo-lah), a red, which is beginning to make a name for itself in the U.S. market, and grillo (GREE-low), a white grape, that is showing up in imports like Stemmari’s “Dalila,” an 80/20 mix of grillo and viognier.

Some of the new choices in wine are due to political changes; the break-up of the Soviet Union has led to the emergence of a number of wines from Eastern and Central Europe.

Furmint, for instance, is a white grape from Hungary, which usually goes into that country’s somewhat betterknown tokaji (to-KAY) dessert wine, but also is made as a dry white.

Bulgaria has benefited from entrance to the European Union and access to financial support, says Christy Canterbury, a wine writer and educator who is one of the few women to have attained Master of Wine status. “Some of the wineries that I have seen in Bulgaria are as sophisticated as the top ‘first growth,’ in Bordeaux,” she says, referring to the French classification system which puts ‘first growth’ at the top.

And while Eastern European wines can be uneven in quality, Canterbury says the wines she’s tasted from Moldova so far have been “off the charts good.” Though it’s a small country in between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova is a wine-producing powerhouse that used to provide a fifth of the wine consumed by the former Soviet Union, Canterbury says.

A red wine to look out for is rara neagra from the Purcari winery. Rara neagra is a red wine grape grown in the Republic of Moldova and Romania, which also has a region called Moldova that produces wine.

Of course, selling wines with unfamiliar names can be a challenge.

That’s where someone like Michael Madrigale, head sommelier at New York’s Bar Boulud, comes in.

“I’m there to help people not be afraid of a wine that begins with ‘x’,” he says, referring to the Greek red wine xinomavro (ksee-NO-mahvroh), a savory red that is growing in popularity in the United States; a producer Madrigale likes is Karydas in the Naoussa region of Northern Greece.

Meanwhile, assyrtiko (aSEER-ti-koh), a crisp Greek white wine, also is making inroads. Madrigale calls it “just the perfect versatile wine for Mediterranean food.”

What’s the next malbec?

(The Argentine red that took the wine world by storm a few years back.)

“Winemakers from all over the world ask us this all the time, and our answer is ‘Nothing,’” says DeSimone.

“Wine has become like television and music; the market is fragmented. And while there are a lot more stars than there used to be, none of them dominates the airwaves.

Malbec is the last big star of the studio system. Every other unknown grape entering the market can hope at best to become the darling of the indie set.”

No tomatoes, chopping for this shaved salsa

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press We generally assume two things about salsa that we shouldn’t.

First, that it must involve tomatoes. Second, that the ingredients should be chopped. Because while chopped tomato salsas are delicious, you don’t want those to be your only experience. There are so many other delicious ways to enjoy fresh salsa.

To prove the point, I offer this shaved grapefruit and corn salsa that gets its bite from jalapeno chilies and red radishes. The shaving — best done by a mandoline, though a food processor also could be used — produces a salsa that manages to be both substantial and light. The paper-thin slices of onion also better absorb the other flavors.

Lime juice and vinegar are

the traditional sources of acid in many salsas (in addition to the tomatoes), but this version gets all it needs from the grapefruit juice. A hit of sugar and the corn add the perfect sweet balance to the heat and acidity, and a bit of garlic ties it all together.

Though this salsa is perfect with chips for scooping, also consider spooning it over grilled fish, such as salmon.

GRAPEFRUIT AND CORN SUMMER SALSA

Tequila and ice cream in a shake

BY ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Here’s a summer fact you need to know — aged tequilas pair beautifully with ice cream.

When I discovered this a few years ago, I started making these insanely easy, totally crave-worthy milkshakes. And I’m warning you... You won’t be able to stop at one. And that’s why I often serve these in shot glasses. It makes it easier to keep going back for more without going overboard.

For ease, you can blend these shakes in advance, then place the blender carafe The Associated Press in the freezer.

This watermelon gazpacho recipe was inspired by one in Yotam Ottolenghi's upcoming cookbook "Plenty More".

A sweet and tangy approach to gazpacho

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press

Watermelon and tomatoes may seem an unlikely combination, but in this simple, refreshing gazpacho they blend perfectly.

The recipe — inspired by one in Yotam Ottolenghi’s upcoming cookbook “Plenty More” — comes together in minutes and easily adapts to your preferences. I like a bit of tang in my gazpacho, so I added plenty of red wine vinegar, which plays well with both of the star ingredients. If you like more bite, add more onion (though I think half a small is plenty).

But whatever you do, don’t skimp on the hot sauce. It acts like salt to help highlight all the other flavors. Add a little at a time, stirring and tasting. You want just enough to make the gazpacho vibrant, but not enough to add much disserving: 230 calories; 110 cernable heat. calories from fat (48 percent of total calories); 12 g fat (3.5 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 15 WATERMELON GAZPACHO mg cholesterol; 26 g carbohydrate; 3 g fiber; 12 g sugar; 9 g Start to finish: 10 minutes protein; 330 mg sodium.

How to buy a new car with all cash I wouldn’t walk across hot coals for the fun of it. But if I could be shown how a short, painful walk would do away with a lifetime of worry, frustration and the fear that comes with constantly being broke, I’d do it.

While t h e EVERYDAY ethod CHEAPSKATE m that follows isn’t exactly hot coals, it does represent a shortterm sacrifice to achieve someMary t h i n g Hunt amazing that few people will ever achieve in their lifetimes: paying all cash for a car, and perhaps, if you choose, even a brand-new car.

Eventually.

Let’s say that tomorrow morning your car is destroyed beyond repair. You must have a car, and because you have no money saved and the insurance check is pathetically small, you opt to buy a brand-new car with nothing down. How much can you afford to pay each month for a car payment?

Realistically. $200? $350 or $600?

OK, back to reality. Your car isn’t destroyed, and you’ll keep driving it for a while. But remember the amount you said you believe you could afford to pay for a car payment each month? Keep reading.

Open a special savings account somewhere convenient and begin immediately to make monthly payments into that account — the payment you know you could afford if you had to. Let’s say that’s $300 a month. Pay $300 to yourself every month. Be strict with yourself — rigid and unbending! No late payments, no slacking. In the meantime — and as you are making these big new payments — continue driving the car you have now for one more year, even if it is a clunker. You can endure anything as long as you know it will end. Think hot coals.

At the end of a year, you will have accumulated $3,600 cash plus interest in the Bank of You. Not bad!

Now sell your clunker. I don’t know what you have or what it might be worth so let’s say you can sell it for $2,000.

Put that money with the $3,600 and buy the best car you can find for $5,600 all cash. Keep making $300 payments to yourself. It’s becoming a habit, and a very good one at that.

At the end of another year, sell the current clunker for say $4,800 and put that money together with the $3,600 you have saved during the year.

Now buy the best used car you can find for your $8,400.

Continue making those payments.

At the end of year three, sell the current car for say $7,800, and together with the new $3,600 from your savings, buy the best $11,400 car you can find. Notice: Your selection of good used cars is getting better each year. You have graduated from clunkers to much more respectable automobiles.

Repeat once each year ... upgrading, paying cash for a better car, and still a better car.

As you become more adept, you will lose your fear of buying and selling cars.

Keep this routine of making payments first and then upgrading annually. Within five or six years you will have accumulated enough cash to buy a brand-new car — all cash. You will have more than $25,000, including any interest you have earned each year on your $300 monthly deposits.

Imagine the confidence and personal power, knowing you are not at the mercy of any salesman, bank or finance company as you look for a car.

You can negotiate because you have plenty of experience by now.

In time, buying a brandnew car will certainly be an option. But I predict you will pass. By this time, you will be so good at buying late-model, domestic, low-mileage cars for a fraction of the price new, you will scoff at the idea of buying new and taking that big 20percent depreciation hit on the front end.

BRIDGE made a negative double, to show his four-card heart suit. We must check for major-suit fits before falling back on the minors.

Here, if North had doubled, South might have rebid three diamonds.

Then North could have cue-bid three spades to ask his partner to convert to three no-trump with a spade stopper.

North, with an aceless wonder, should not be thinking about five diamonds unless South cannot bid no-trump.

Note that after that auction, West, knowing dummy has heart length, would be likely to lead his fourth-highest spade.

Then South hurries to take the first 11 tricks: one spade, six diamonds and four clubs.

When North cue-bid two spades, South decided, debatably with such a good hand for diamonds, to rebid two no-trump.

Then North cue-bid again to ask if South really could control spades.

At the table, West led the spade seven, but he should have started with a high heart. He should have had a sense of urgency to take the first five tricks — and here East-West could have won the first six: five hearts and one spade.

A.A. Milne wrote, “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

Bridge players know that sometimes there is no hurry, but on other deals, speed is essential.

Now look at today’s deal. How would you analyze the auction? And what should West lead against three no-trump?

North’s two-spade cue-bid, in the modern style, showed at least a gameinvitational hand with diamond support. However, North should have
