Rezoning decision coming to dunes BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — Siuslaw National Forest officials are closing in on a decision to designate new trails and open more than 500 acres for motorized vehicle access in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, two decades after a management plan was set in motion. The new acreage is mainly in the Florence and Winchester Bay areas. There are 11 designated management areas on the dunes, which stretch from Florence to Coos Bay: Off-road vehicles are allowed in all 10B areas, while ORVs are only allowed on designated routes in 10C areas. These two sections make up 10,385 acres of motorized vehicle access out of the entire 31,500-acre dunes. “10C was originally planned for the protection of existing vegetation on the dunes,” said Michele Jones, Siuslaw National Forest district ranger for the Oregon Dunes NRA’s Central Coast Ranger District, at Tuesday’s Coos County commissioners meeting. Five years ago, a work group was formed to recommend the best usage for these areas. Their biggest concern was the negative economic impact of possible closures.

Medford hunter’s collection to be auctioned

Obama says Syrian beheading videos won’t intimidate US BY JULIE PACE The Associated Press

BY MARK FREEMAN Medford Mail Tribune

MEDFORD (AP) — In 1997, Medford hunter and philanthropist Art Dubs commissioned an artist to paint a 6-foot-tall likeness of Nez Perce leader Chief Joseph, with the intent that the likeness would hang in the rotunda of a museum he planned to build to display his hunting trophies. The museum never materialized, so the painting instead hung in a Scottsdale, Ariz., art gallery, appraised at $95,000. The painting and 309 other unique items, from African hunting trophies to bronze masks and exotic guns, will be up for sale Saturday during a liquidated auction to fuel Dubs’ charitable foundation. “I have no idea what that painting will sell for, but it’s there,” says J.B. Dimick, one of two auctioneers hired for the auction. The painting will be joined at the sale by African ivory tusks, a full-sized mounted Alaskan brown bear and bighorn sheep and

plan.“We’re just now signing the draft resolution.” Other projects occupied their time, she said: building campgrounds, trailheads and staging areas; finalizing an alcohol ban; designating sand camping; and providing ATV access to Riley Ranch County Park. Over the years, ATV drivers have pounded unauthorized trails into 10C areas. “For many years, ATVs were not capable of riding these areas,” she said. “With the onset of extreme sports and high-powered ATVs, we saw an explosion of user-created trails in the ORV areas.” The SNF received 1,400 comments on its draft environmental impact statement, which was published two years ago this fall. People had concerns about the trail-riding experience, rider safety, noise, impacts on vegetation, wildlife and wetlands, and impacts on visitation and local economies. “We’re hoping when they make a final decision, they will begin the restoration process of trails made in wrong areas and the Forest Service will make it clear where people can go to have fun,” Eatherington said. Reporter Chelsea Davis can be reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 239, or by email at chelsea.davis@theworldlink.com. Follow her on Twitter: @ChelseaLeeDavis.

The final proposal would rezone 518 10C acres (of the 4,455 total 10C acres) to 10B. These acres include 10C sections dominated by non-native invasive plant species — “they can go away and we’d be extraordinarily happy,” Jones said. But the 10C areas include “some of the rarest vegetation in the state of Oregon,” said Umpqua Watersheds conservation program director Francis Eatherington. “It is a botanical treasure trove out there,” she said. “It’s a very sensitive area, and motorized recreation in the wrong place can ruin thousands of years of habitat.” That’s not the drivers’ fault, she said. “What we would like to see is for the motorized recreation in the Oregon Dunes to be clear so everybody knows where they’re supposed to be,” she said.“I’m sure most people riding in the dunes want to do the right thing, but it’s difficult to know what that is. There are (few) signs and unauthorized trails through vegetation and rare plants. The people riding the dunes — they don’t know.” A final environmental impact statement and record of decision is expected in a couple weeks. The proposal would also designate an additional 2.3 miles of trails. “The intention was to designate those 10C routes within three years,” Jones said of the 1994

Estonia — TALLINN, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the United States will not be intimidated by Islamic State militants after the beheading of a second American journalist and will build a coalition to “degrade and destroy” the group. Obama still did not give a timeline for deciding on a strategy to go after the extremist group’s operations in Syria. “It’s going to take time for us to be able to roll them back,” the president said at a news conference during a visit to Europe. The president’s comments came after he said the United States had verified the authenticity of a video released Tuesday showing the beheading of freelance reporter Steven Sotloff, two weeks after journalist James Foley was similarly killed.

GRANTS PASS — Oregon’s state Board of Forestry is working on balancing a healthy timber industry with healthy salmon runs. On Wednesday, the board votes on taking the next step in developing rules governing how many trees must be left standing along streams to keep the water shaded and cool enough for salmon to survive. It would be the first change to the riparian protections of the Oregon Forest Practices Act since 1994. The question was raised by a 2011 study that found temperatures were getting warmer in salmon streams on state-regulated timberlands in the Coast Range. The Department of Forestry is recommending the board go forward with analyzing the different logging prescriptions that would be needed to meet the cool water protection standards for smalland medium-sized streams with salmon, steelhead and bull trout, and their economic impact. A final decision is months away and will take into account whether the changes create too much of a hardship on the timber industry. Mary Scurlock of the Oregon Stream Protection Coalition says the study makes it clear that Oregon will have to start leaving more trees standing along streams to meet the cool water standard set by the state Environmental Quality Commissions, and some form of financial assistance for small landowners may be needed to soften the blow. She added that Washington state logging rules use the same cold water protection standards set in Oregon, and the timber industry is viable there. In testimony to the board over the past year, representatives of the timber industry have urged approaching the Environmental Quality Commission to change the

Their horrific acts only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists,” Obama said. “And those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, and that our reach is long and that justice will be served.” Separately, Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement: “Barbarity, sadly, isn’t new to our world. Neither is evil.” “We’ve taken the fight to it before, and we’re taking the fight to it today,” Kerry said. “When terrorists anywhere around the world have murdered our citizens, the United States held them accountable, no matter how long it took. And those who have murdered James Foley and Steven Sotloff in Syria should know that the United States will hold them accountable too, no matter how

Dungeness crab For The World

Fishermen have been harvesting Dungeness crab off the Oregon coast since the late 1800s. Today, a typical crab boat puts out 300-500 baited pots in 5 to 100 fathoms of water, leaving them out for one to four days before hauling them in. Legal-size crabs are kept alive in a tank on the vessel until they are delivered to the processing plant. The season runs from December to August, but most of the catch comes in during the first two months. For many people on the West Coast, crab for Christmas is a family tradition. Fundraising crab feeds also enliven the winter — the Charleston Merchants Crab Feed each February raises money for the town’s visitor center and other local services. In the 2013-2014 season, Charleston fishermen received $10 million for landing 2.8 million pounds of crab, about 14 percent of Oregon’s total. Port Orford and Brookings/Gold Beach

landed similar amounts. China’s appetite for Oregon’s crab has been increasing, boosting prices for fishermen. Although Dungeness crab can live for 10 years, most are about 4 years old when they’re harvested. After floating through several stages of life during which they don’t look anything like crabs, dime-size juvenile crabs settle to the bottom along the coast and up estuaries and begin growing by molting. Only male crabs above a certain size are harvested, leaving the young males and all the females to keep breeding. The Marine Stewardship Council has certified Dungeness crab as a sustainably fished species. Recreational fishermen also pursue crab, with smaller crab available from the docks and bigger crab found in the estuaries and the open ocean. Crabbers use baited pots or dangle snares from fishing rods. An annual summer crab derby in Bandon’s Coquille River estuary rewards recreational crabbers who catch tagged animals.

Food stamp fraud shows need for reform A recent story in The Oregonian about a long-running (and extremely slow-moving) investigation into food stamp fraud in Klamath Falls should prompt renewed calls for reforms to strengthen the ability of caseworkers and others to ferret out fraud in the program. In the Klamath Falls case, 65 people have been charged with trafficking in food stamp benefits. Most of the charges accuse defendants of illegally taking cash instead of food by selling their Oregon Trail cards to a Klamath Falls meat market for 50 cents on the dollar. When the charges were filed, the director of the Oregon Department of Human Services sent an email to Oregon legislators boasting about her department’s role in cracking the case. But the Oregonian’s story found that state workers had watched the fraud continue for more than two years before arrests were made. In 2013, an investigator warned the fraud was growing at an “alarming rate.” Arrests followed — 17 months later. To be fair, state officials were severely limited by rules restricting how fraud can be treated. And federal investigators, who declined comment to The Oregonian, were very slow to respond to the early reports of fraud. But, overall, this is not a particularly shining example of a smooth-running system efficiently sniffing out fraud. The state estimates fraud in the program at half of 1 percent, and we have no reason to doubt that. On the other hand: Last year, the state paid out $1.2 billion in benefits. Half of

Time for a change at Oregon Liquor Control Commission You may not have known this, but Oregon doesn’t “tax” liquor. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission simply raises its margin on the stuff when the state needs more money. The taxes it does collect go to the federal government. Thus, in 2009 the commission added a 50-cent surcharge to every bottle of liquor it sold and promised Oregonians the higher price would be temporary, lasting only about three months. Yet three months later, the surcharge remained in place. Moreover, today, some five years later, the surcharge is not only in place, the liquor commission agreed Thursday to extend it two more years. Then the commission’s chairman, Rob Patridge, said he didn’t want the surcharge to become permanent. Amen to that.

In fact, we’d feel better about the whole thing if it were a bit more transparent — if, for example, the state identified its “margin” on liquor for what it really is — a tax. The state’s general fund picks up more than half of what’s raised, cities and counties get another substantial chunk. We’d also feel a whole lot better if lawmakers, and not the appointed liquor control commission, had the final say on whether a tax increase, temporary or permanent, goes into effect. As things now stand, they don’t. As things now stand, the OLCC is something of a law unto itself where liquor taxes are concerned. Its unelected members are not accountable to anybody, and that’s bad — so bad that it’s time to look at revamping the whole system. The (Bend) Bulletin

Karuks have a head start on casino plans The Karuk Tribe in Northern California may still be at least a year away from opening a casino in Yreka, but the they are years ahead of the Coquilles, who want to open a smaller casino in Medford. If the Karuks’

casino does open, it would likely lure gamblers from Southern Oregon looking for a full-fledged casino experience. The casino will encompass 56,000 square feet of gaming space, a hotel and two restaurants. The casino will include up to 1,500 slot machines as well as table games. That’s a sharp contrast with the Coquilles’ plans for a Class III Medford casino with 600 machines and no hotel. In addition to Gov. John Kitzhaber’s stated opposition to the Medford casino proposal, it also has generated strong opposition from city leaders, who planned a trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with the Department of the Interior Office of Indian Gaming and express their concerns. The Karuks also do not face opposition from the Cow Creek tribe, which operates the Seven Feathers casino in Canyonville. The Cow Creeks consider the Yreka proposal to be on Karuk aboriginal land, and therefore a legitimate tribal enterprise. They argue that the Coquilles’ aboriginal land is in Coos Bay, not Jackson County. If the Coquilles do eventually win federal and state approval for their Medford casino proposal, which is a long shot, they will in all likelihood be bracketed on the north and the south by established, full-fledged casino operations. For them, that means that regulatory success is no guarantee of financial success. (Medford) Mail Tribune

Gotta stop watching commercials The first ad in the first commercial break of the nightly news is for adult diapers. The second is for a drug that will lower your cholesterol. The third ad is for a drug that will let you have sex. The fourth is for facelifts that will make you look 20 years younger. Judging by the advertising, it appears that the typical nightly news watcher is an out-of-shape, unattractive person who wants to have sex with someone while wearing diapers. Wow! Talk about sexy. The next round of commercials starts with one telling me to call my doctor and ask him if I should be on a different blood thinner, the next asks me to buy a painkiller because I would only need to take one pill instead of two, and a third wonders if I suffer from something that sounds too scary for words: low testosterone. Sorry, but if I have to tell my doctor what drugs I should be taking, shouldn’t I really be looking for another doctor, not another drug? Is taking two pills instead of one all that difficult? Is it going to wreck your day if you’re in the middle of doing something, like calling your doctor to give him some medical advice, when you have to drop everything to take another pill? If you find that annoying, imagine how your doctor must feel getting phone calls from people like you. Or is giving medical advice without a license JIM one of the many vague, MULLEN ambiguous symptoms of Low T? Having low Humorist testosterone sounds like a medieval curse until you remember how much trouble having high testosterone got you into all those years ago. The commercial spends most of its time warning you of all the side effects — don’t use near pregnant women, don’t touch children as it may cause early puberty, etc. If marijuana did all that, it’d be illegal. Oh yeah — it doesn’t, and it still is. Why is it that testosterone is bad and evil when baseball players and Tour de France bikers take it, but it’s just wonderful for you and me to take it? The difference would be ...? Will taking testosterone affect my writing? My editor hopes so. The third round of ads is for high-fiber gummy bears, river cruises, heating pads, arthritis medicine and hair dye for men. How did humans ever get enough fiber before they invented high-fiber gummy bears? They must have had to eat things like apples and green, leafy vegetables and horrific stuff like that. It must have been awful. Thank goodness we don’t have to live like savages anymore, eating things that grew in the dirty, dirty ground instead of being made in a nice clean factory like high-fiber gummy bears. I would like to take a leisurely European river cruise. What’s stopping me? I have plenty of time. Oh yeah, I forgot: I’m not rich. I keep forgetting that. Would I be sitting around watching the evening news if I were rich? No, I’d be watching some horror movie made for 14-year-olds on HBO. And I wouldn’t be buying hair dye; I’d have it done professionally. But then, what’s the matter with being gray? It says I’m distinguished; it says that I’m one of the wise elders of the community. It says that I’m old enough to watch the news.

Letters to the Editor A reasonable response to LNG The following is in response to John MacGregor’s letter to the editor of 8/28/2014: ■ Actually, there will be several thousand temporary jobs, not a few hundred, but there will also be a few hundred permanent jobs created, many filled from the local labor pool. ■ A large influx of temporary workers may be a bit disruptive. If properly managed by local officials and project management, the disruption will be minimal and hardly a threat to personal safety. ■ Mr. MacGregor says our marine habitat will be destroyed yet offers no evidence of such. There will be some temporary disruption of habitat during the construction phase which will heal in a short time. LNG will have fewer than 90 ship calls annually versus over 300 20 years ago, resulting in comparatively less disruption in port usage. ■ The inevitability of a substantial increase in the cost of natural gas is unsupported. The percentage of exports to total gas production is tiny and should cause little if any price disruption. “environmental ■ The destruction” caused by fracking and exploration gets lots of press but little factual evidence is offered in support. With appropriate monitoring of operations, the environmental risk can be managed. ■ The arbitrary taking of private lands is, bluntly, a red herring. It is very rarely done and in only the most egregious of situations. The preferred method and usually the most beneficial to landowners is to negotiate fair and reasonable compensation for any loss of use of private land. ■ The assumption there will be a probable tanker explosion or

other catastrophic event cannot be supported given the industry’s impeccable safety record over the last 60 years. ■ Mr. MacGregor posits there may be a collapse in demand, presumably leading to abandonment leaving the community with a mess on its hands. He does not, however, cite any similar occurrences in this industry or any rationale that might support this argument. Like so many uncannily similar anti-LNG letters, and there have been many in the local press, this one offers only opinion and supposition without relevant facts in support of its argument. There is risk in virtually everything we do. At the end of the day it boils down to an analysis of risks and rewards. And that should be based on solid facts, not supposition. Jon Barton Hauser

Questioning if LNG is necessary I left Coos Bay almost 20 years ago, thinking I might like to come back when the time came to retire. That time has now come. Initially, I was not concerned about the possibility of a LNG facility. It sounded clean — even harmless. But after doing some research, I am now very concerned. Because I am single and in the later stages of my life, however, I might move back to Coos Bay anyway.But I am concerned about the risks such a facility would impose on a community I am so fond of. And I am angry that financial elitists who would never allow such a facility to be built in their “backyard” are exploiting this community’s desire to provide jobs for its children in order to make sure that the facility is built in Coos County, where it will threaten the health, safety and

very lives of your grandchildren — not theirs. Maybe the nonstop noise and air pollution won’t be as bad as some say it will. Maybe toxins won’t settle into Coos County soil. Maybe the facility’s risks won’t cause insurance rates to soar for other prospective businesses. Maybe the financial benefits won’t disappear after seven years. And there probably won’t be an explosion with a 3mile kill radius — probably. (The first trigger pull in Russian roulette probably won’t kill you). If the thing is built, pipelines will have to be built. And the folks in other disadvantaged communities will be impacted by increased fracking. And corporations and governments will use eminent domain to take away property owners’ rights — all in order to export energy, not to provide energy self-sufficiency. Those things anger me, too. I do not believe that the path to prosperity for the strong, proud, resilient, working class people of Coos County requires embracing both this LNG monster and the speculators pushing it down our throats. Surely there is a better way forward than paying for a promise of improved employment by accepting their trampling of health, safety and property rights. That’s the game they want you to play. But you don’t have to pull that trigger. Jeff Maurer Charlottesville, Va.

We have control over very little Local control? Every 15 minutes, late into the night, helicopters flew over my house in North Bend, making so much noise that we could not hear each other. Many have complained over the years, to no effect. We cannot control it.

I want to increase school funding in my area but passing levies is difficult because, in 1991, Oregon established the funding equalization formula which requires that we send much of our money to Salem to help out school districts who choose not to fund schools at our level. Some of us feel a loss of control. The LNG plant proposed for Jordan Cove will have a large impact on my community, and it may be a good idea but we have very little to say about it. Endlessly, the powerful decide what is good for us. Well, if something is so good then let the locals decide if they want it. I very much support jobs, clean environment and safe streets, but my quality of life is greatly enhanced by the belief that I am not just a pawn that can be pushed around the game board. I want to work with my neighbors, not the rich and powerful, to control what happens in our town. For months I have listened to a barrage of anti-Sen. Merkley ads. They are beginning to sound like the helicopters.I do not know who is behind them but I would bet, what little I have, that outsiders with big bucks are telling us what to think.We are constantly treated as if we are poor, ignorant, witless and, in case of the helicopters, hard of hearing.

News of the West Husband is reluctant spectator at wife’s parade in the nude DEAR ABBY: My wife walks around our house nude or topless with the shades open, and anybody walking outside can see in. Recently she did this while some painting contractors were working around our house. I have begged her not to, to no avail. What should I do? — MORE MODEST IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR M.M.: It appears you married an exhibiDEAR tionist. You might point out to her that parading around that way could be considered disrespectful to the workers JEANNE PHILLIPS s h e ’ s exposed herself to. But don’t be surprised if she’s unwilling to change because it may give her some kind of thrill. (I’m sure it also gives the viewers something to talk about around the dinner table.) DEAR ABBY: Please remind beachgoers that they need to leave their fire pits OPEN and not cover them with sand. My 16-month-old grandnephew was walking on a beach in Carmel, California, with his mom and dad when he suffered burns to his feet from walking across sand beneath which were hot coals. It will take at least three weeks for this dear baby’s feet to heal from those burns. People don’t realize that covering the coals with sand hides them and keeps them hot for up to 24 hours! Beach fires must be treated differently from those in a forest, where they should be covered with dirt because of the surrounding trees. — BEACH ETIQUETTE DEAR B.E.: I’m printing your letter not only as a warning to beachgoers who might be using fire pits, but also to the parents of small children because hot buried coals can be a hidden danger to their little ones. Because the coals cannot be seen, children sometimes confuse fire pits ringed by rocks with “sandboxes,” and the results can be tragic. According to the University of California Irvine’s Regional Burn Center, “coals should be extinguished by drenching them with water, waiting five minutes and drenching them AGAIN.” When water isn’t available, the coals should simply be allowed to burn out. DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Patrick,” and I were married last year. On the morning of our wedding, his grandmother, “Sally,” died. It was very sudden. Everyone assumed we’d postpone it, but we didn’t. Abby, my husband is still emotionally distraught over her death. Patrick’s parents were absent from his life and Grandma Sally had raised him. Did we make a mistake by not postponing our wedding? How can I help him? — SAD NEW WIFE IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR SAD NEW WIFE: Life is for the living. I don’t know how large your wedding was, but if there were contracts involved (hall, flowers, music, caterer, guests coming in from out of town, etc.), you were right to follow through with your plans. I am sure that’s what Grandma Sally would have wanted. Please convey to your husband how sorry I am for his loss. Because he is moving so slowly through the grieving process, it would be helpful for him to contact a grief support group. To find one, he can ask a doctor, clergyman or hospice for a referral. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Oil train protest

The Associated Press

Protesters block an oil train from advancing out of a rail yard Tuesday in Everett, Wash. Five people were arrested Tuesday after tying themselves to poles erected over the railroad tracks at a Burlington Northern Santa Fe yard in Everett that about a dozen demonstrators blocked to protest train shipments of oil and coal, and proposed export terminals in the Northwest.

6 killed in traffic crashes during Labor Day weekend PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon State Police says six people died in traffic crashes during the Labor Day weekend, statistically similar to past years. Since 1970, Oregon has averaged seven fatalities during Labor Day weekends. The deadliest was in 1978, when 17 people were killed. This weekend’s crashes all occurred away from the state’s largest cities. Rollover crashes killed motorists near Lebanon and Wolf Creek, while two people on a motorcycle died in a collision with a pickup east of Glide. Also this weekend, a bicyclist was fatally struck by a pickup near Rainier, and a pedestrian was hit by a car north of Florence. Police say the pedestrian appeared to intentionally walk in front the car.

After inmate shooting, prison ends lockdown PENDLETON (AP) — The Oregon prison where a prison guard shot and killed an inmate has returned to normal operations. The state Department of Corrections said a lockdown has ended and visiting will resume Wednesday at the Eastern Oregon Correctional institution. On Friday,authorities said, 26-year-old Jayson Matthew Withers of Salem died after he and another inmate wouldn’t stop their attack on a third prisoner, and a corrections officer shot Withers.

STATE D I G E S T Withers had been in the prison since 2010 on negligent homicide, robbery and identity-theft convictions. He was due for release in four more years.

Plans OK’d for OSUCascades campus BEND (AP) — A hearing officer for the city of Bend OSUhas approved Cascades’ plans to develop a four-year campus in Bend. The official said Tuesday the university’s proposal can meet building code requirements. The Bulletin reports opponents with the group Truth In Site have 12 days to file an appeal with the City Council. They say the development could overwhelm traffic and housing in the area. The university plans for a 10-acre development to serve up to 1,900 students.

Parole board to release man who killed teen PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon parole board has decided to release a 40-yearold man who was convicted at age 15 of raping and murdering a high school classmate in the Portland suburb of Beaverton. The Oregonian reports that the board announced its decision Tuesday in the case of Conrad Engweiler and set his release for next month.

An inmate at the Oregon State Correctional Institution in Salem, Engweiler has served more than 24 years for the aggravated murder of 16-year-old Erin Tonna Reynolds. His case has been repeatedly before the courts over the years since because he was initially sentenced under unclear guidelines. His lawyer has argued that with good behavior time considered, he’s overdue for release. The state Supreme Court earlier told the board to start the prerelease process “with appropriate dispatch.” At a hearing in May, Engweiler told the board that his prison time has taught him remorse, empathy and compassion.

Service for girl buried on Lincoln City beach SANDY (AP) — A memorial service is being held today for the 9-year-old girl who died in a cave-in on a Lincoln City beach. The Oregonian reports the service for Isabel Grace Franks of Sandy is at 5 p.m. at the Abundant Life Church in Sandy. The first rescuer on the scene Friday, Capt. Jim Kusz of North Lincoln Fire and Rescue, says she was buried about five minutes and had suffocated by the time she was dug out. The girl and other children had dug a hole nearly 5 feet deep. Witnesses say the sand caved in when Isabel sat down to see how deep it was.

CHEMULT (AP) — Camps for mushroom pickers are springing up in the woods on the east side of the Cascade Range. The prized matsutake mushrooms aren’t, though. It’s been too dry. Pickers went out scouting ahead of the season that is just getting underway, said Walt Boles, who manages a camp near Chemult. “They’re not finding any mushrooms right now. It’s going to be hard, from what I understand,” he told the Klamath Falls Herald and News for a story published Tuesday. The camps for mushroom harvesters feature dwellings of steel frames with plywood and blue tarp coverings. They have indoor cook stoves, refrigerators and even

portable garden containers with fresh herbs. Pickers stay until heavy snow falls or the season ends Nov. 2. Some pickers said the season is similar to last year’s, when the region also suffered from drought, but they are hoping things improve as fall progresses. The large, aromatic mushrooms fetch good prices in the marketplace, but Mani said the expense of using vehicles to search for them can cost $40 to $50 a day or more, when finding 4 pounds can be difficult. “It’s challenging,” she said. “Some people make money; some people lose money. Some people go home broke because they are driving all day. It’s not easy like everybody thinks.”

fisherman and co-owner now of a Pacific Grove, California, restaurant specializing in sustainably harvested fish. At the time, Walter assumed the ground-fish fishing ground “was going to be closed for a very, very long time, like most of my life,” Walter said. The fact it reopened after only 14 years “is a great thing because it really shows when you have the fishermen and the NGOs and the government working ... they can turn around a fishery.” Key actions that helped the West Coast ground-fish rebound include greatly increased government monitoring and control of fishing boats’ take, assigning fishing quotas to individual fishermen rather than to types of fish, and closing off some areas of the ocean to safeguard vulnerable habitat, those involved said. In the early 1990s, 500 commercial fishing boats plied the ground-fish fishery off the West Coast, said Brad Pettinger, a trawl fisherman and executive direction of Oregon’s state commission for trawl-fishing. Fellow fishermen helped buy out many of those 500 to help bring down the total to 100 fishing boats today, Pettinger said.

Obituary Gordon Leroy Solseng

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Twenty-one species of fish made the leap Tuesday off a watch list of seafood to avoid as unsustainably overfished, leaving conservationists and many fishermen and chefs celebrating the turnaround of a West Coast fishing ground declared an economic disaster area by the federal government just 14 years ago. The Monterey Bay Aquarium upgraded the 21 species of West Coast bottom-dwelling fish known as ground fish — including rockfish, sablefish, and other workhorses of the white-fish seafood fillet market — from its “avoid” category on the Seafood Watch list, meaning the food industry and consumers now should feel free to sell and eat those fish without guilt. The declaration marks a rebound from 2000, when commercial overfishing of ground fish off California, Oregon and Washington had depleted those and other species so badly as to earn a government designation of an economic disaster. The related federal cut in the allowable catch of ground fish off the West Coast “was devastating to a lot of the fishing families, but it was so overfished,” recalled Cindy Walter, the daughter of a professional

NATO to oppose Russian aggression WASHINGTON (AP) — Confronted by a Kremlinbacked military offensive in Ukraine, President Barack Obama and Western allies will approve plans this week to position at least 4,000 troops and military equipment in Eastern Europe, bolstering NATO’s security commitments to nervous member states near the Russian border. Ahead of a high-stakes NATO summit that begins Thursday, Obama will also make a symbolic show of solidarity with Eastern Europe when he visits Estonia for meetings with Baltic leaders. He was due to arrive in the Estonian capital of Tallinn Wednesday morning. Russia’s monthslong conflict with Ukraine comes at a time when members of the NATO defense alliance have been cutting military spending and reassessing the organization’s role after years of peace in Europe. While Ukraine is not part of NATO, alliance members in Eastern and Central Europe fear they could be Russia’s next targets, prompting the 28-nation bloc to seek a more robust response. “The current situation shows that the principle of collective territorial defense hasn’t gone away — on the

Ukrainian officials say their country’s armed forces are now locked in a conflict with not only Moscowbacked separatists, but also the Russian army. Officials said Tuesday that Russian military forces had been spotted in two major rebelheld cities in eastern Ukraine, though that could not be independently veri-

fied. Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied that his forces are invading Ukraine. A Kremlin aide sharply criticized EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso Tuesday, accusing him of breaching confidentiality when he quoted Putin as saying that 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.”

After 3 decades, man freed from prison RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — One of North Carolina’s longest-serving death row inmates was freed from prison Wednesday, a day after a judge overturned his conviction because of new DNA evidence in the case. Henry McCollum, 50, walked out of Central Prison in Raleigh, hugged his mother and father and thanked God for his release. The Associated Press His half brother, 46-yearold Leon Brown, also had his Leon Brown listens to evidence conviction in a 1983 rape and during a court hearing Tuesday in murder overturned on Lumberton, N.C.

He had reporters before getting into never used a seat belt of that the passenger seat of his design.

McCollum said he hoped to go home and take a bath. There will be changes to which he’ll need to adjust — particularly the Internet and cellphones, he said. Superior Court Judge Douglas Sasser overturned the convictions Tuesday, saying the fact another man’s DNA was found on a cigarette butt left near the body of the slain girl contradicted the case put forth by prosecutors. The ruling was the latest twist in a notorious legal case that began with what defense attorneys said were coerced confessions from two scared teenagers with low IQs. McCollum was 19 at the time, and Brown was 15.

Lawsuits seek juvenile records of victim CLAYTON, Mo.

(AP) — The doctor who oversaw treatment of two American missionaries who contracted the Ebola virus in west Africa said he doesn’t know if a third sick American will be coming to his Atlanta hospital. “I know there have been discussions that this person will be coming back to the United States, Dr. Bruce Ribner, head of the infectious disease unit at Emory told NBC’s University, “Today” show Wednesday. “I don’t believe the actual site where they’re coming back has been decided yet.”

Man gets 17 years in porch shooting DETROIT (AP) — A suburban Detroit man was sentenced Wednesday to at least 17 years in prison for killing an unarmed woman who appeared on his porch before dawn. Theodore Wafer was convicted of second-degree murder in the Nov. 2 death of 19-year-old Renisha McBride. Before he was sentenced, the Dearborn Heights man apologized to her family, saying he killed a woman who was “too young to leave this world.” “I will carry that guilt and sorrow forever,” said Wafer, often pausing to control his emotions.

DETROIT (AP) — An attorney for Detroit is set to resume his opening statement at the city’s historic bankruptcy trial, after saying on the first day that Detroit needs the restructuring to survive. Opening statements also are expected Wednesday from supporters of the city’s debt restructuring plan and creditors that oppose it.

A wooden cross marks the grave of a Ukrainian government soldier seen between destroyed military vehicles in the village of Osykove, eastern Ukraine, on Tuesday.

Bodies of 87 Ukrainian soldiers retrieved KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian military official says the bodies of 87 soldiers killed while fighting Russian-backed rebels have been evacuated from southeastern Ukraine. Mykhailo Logvinov, a military official in the southeastern region of Zaporizhye, was quoted by

the Interfax news agency as saying Wednesday that the bodies have been delivered to the area from the eastern city of Ilovaysk. The rebels routed the forces in Ukrainian Ilovaysk and other eastern areas over the past week, forcing them to retreat. The

rebel gains sharply turned the tide in their favor after weeks of Ukrainian advances. Media reports said at least about 100 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed around Ilovaysk. Logvinov said the remains are being identified by local forensic experts.

Drive to stop jihadis going to Syria, Iraq PARIS (AP) — New laws make it easier to seize passports. Suspected fighters are plucked from planes. Authorities block finances and shut down radical mosques. And behind the scenes, Silicon Valley firms are under increasing pressure to wipe extremist content from websites as Western intelligence agencies explore new technologies to identify returning fighters at the border. Governments from France to Indonesia have launched urgent drives to cut off one of the Islamic State group’s biggest sources of strength: foreign fighters. At the heart of the drive is mounting concern that the organization is training the next generation of international terrorists. Those fears have gained urgency from the group’s

horrific methods: A British militant is suspected of beheading two American journalists, and a Frenchman who fought with the Islamic State group is accused in a deadly attack on a Jewish museum in Belgium. With each video that ricochets around social networks, the militants gain new recruits. “If neglected, I am certain that after a month they will reach Europe and, after another month, America,” Saudi King Abdullah said Friday, calling for a strong international response to the onslaught in Syria and Iraq. Britain has taken a particularly active role in censoring content deemed to break the country’s strict rules against extremist propaganda. U.K. officials recently revealed they

have been granted “super flagger” status on sites such as YouTube, meaning their requests to remove videos with grisly content or that encourage terrorism are fast-tracked. Over the past four years, an Internet-focused counter-terror unit of London’s Metropolitan Police instigated the removal of 45,000 pieces of content, the force said last week. Islamic State militants, however, have just as quickly found other, more decentralized platforms. In the United States, officials are trying to identify potential jihadis by comparing travel patterns with those of people who have already joined the fight, a counterterrorism official said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss intelligence matters.

Team seeks N. Korea volcano secrets North PYONGYANG, Korea (AP) — More than a thousand years ago, a huge volcano straddling the border between North Korea and China was the site of one of the biggest eruptions in human history, blanketing eastern Asia in its ash. But unlike other major volcanos around the world, the remote and politically sensitive Mount Paektu remains almost a complete mystery to foreign scientists who have — until recently — been unable to conduct on-site studies.

Fresh off their third visit to the volcano, two British scientists studying the mountain in an unprecedented joint project with North Korea say they may soon be able to reveal some secrets of the volcano, including its likelihood of erupting again. They’re collecting seismic data and studying rocks ejected in Paektu’s “millennium eruption” sometime in the 10th century. “It’s one of the biggest eruptions in the last few thousands of years and we

don’t have yet a historical date for it,” Clive Oppenheimer, a professor of volcanology at Cambridge University, told The Associated Press after returning to Pyongyang last week from an eight-day trip to the volcano. “The rocks are a bit like the black box of a flight recording. There’s so much that we can read from the field site itself.” For volcano researchers, studying Paektu is a golden opportunity to break new ground because so much about it remains a puzzle.

Agreement with Russia on a cease-fire has been reached KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — The office of Ukrainian President Poroshenko said Petro Wednesday that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have reached agreement on a cease-fire in eastern Ukraine, but there was no immediate indication that the fighting would stop. The brief statement said “mutual understanding was reached regarding the steps that will contribute to the establishment of peace” but gave no details. “The result of the conversation was agreement on a permanent cease-fire in the Donbass,” the statement said, using the collective term for the eastern Ukraine regions.

PM picks 5 women in new Cabinet TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s prime minister picked five women for his Cabinet Wednesday, matching the past record and sending the strongest message yet about his determination to revive the economy by getting women on board as workers and leaders. Japan has a vast pool of talented, well-educated women, but they are far under-represented in positions of power in government and corporations. Women make up 10 percent of parliament and just 3.9 percent of

WORLD D I G E S T board members of listed Japanese companies, versus 12 percent in the U.S. and 18 percent in France.

Nuke probe stalls, threatens deal VIENNA (AP) — A new and seemingly promising U.N probe of allegations that Iran worked on atomic arms has stalled, diplomats say, leaving investigators not much further than where they started a decade ago and dampening U.S. hopes of reaching an overarching nuclear deal with Tehran by a November deadline. Expectations were high just two weeks ago, when chief U.N. nuclear inspector Yukiya Amano emerged from talks in Tehran with Iranian President Hasan Rouhani saying Iran had given “a firm commitment” of cooperation.

Negotiators meet over mass Pakistan rallies ISLAMABAD (AP) — Negotiators for protesters holding a mass demonstration outside of Pakistan’s parliament have met with a group of Pakistani politicians trying to end the crisis.

A group of politicians met Wednesday with representaof the two tives anti-government groups. In a news conference, one of the politicians, Sirajul Haq, said there had been some success in their talks, although he urged caution. The politicians are all from the opposition, not the government. However, some of the leaders of the antigovernment protesters are also expected to meet later Wednesday with the government.

Fiji troops in Syria as UN peacekeepers? SUVA, Fiji (AP) — For years, Fiji’s tiny military force has carried out two high-profile tasks: Leading coups, and peacekeeping. It’s a mix that has drawn questions — now more than ever, with 45 Fijian troops captured by Syrian insurgents. The force of just 3,500 is devoted largely to peacekeeping around the world, but lacks the sophisticated hardware other militaries rely on to keep their troops safe. The troops have not with their trained Australian, New Zealand and American counterparts since 2006, when the military took control of this relaxed South Pacific nation of 900,000.

Dubs still holds the Boone and Crockett Club’s world record for the largest “grand slam” of the four North American bighorn sheep species. A stickler for details, Dubs kept precise records of his hunts and about the trophies he brought home, and these records could make all the difference in whether some of his most exotic pieces can be sold. “I have permits for every place Art went hunting in the world,” says David Hyatt, a trustee on the Arthur R. Dubs Foundation board. Many of his mounts have been donated or on loan to

places such as the Bass Pro Shops store and displays in Springfield, Mo., Hyatt says. Dubs instructed that the remaining items in his collection be sold and the profits turned over to the foundation, which records show is worth about $6 million. Oregon big-game trophies cannot be sold while the hunter is alive, but they can be cleared for sale from the hunter’s estate after his death and only if the mounts are inspected by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists. Species shot outside of Oregon but brought into the state do not fall under that statute, says ODFW biologist Steve Niemela. Sales of mounts of threatened or endangered animals are regulated under interna-

He was also well-known for his donations, helping fund such things as a cancer center bearing his name at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford. He died June 11, 2013, in Medford at age 83. Dubs’ hunting prowess reached its zenith in 1960 when he killed a worldrecord polar bear that landed him in the Guinness World Records book and Life magazine.

long it takes.” Obama also sought to clean up the damage from his statement last week that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for dealing with the Islamic State group in Syria. Republicans quickly seized on the remark to argue the president lacks a coherent approach to fighting the extremist group. “It is very important from my perspective that when we send our pilots in to do a job, that we know that this is a mission that’s going to work, that we’re very clear on what our objectives are, what our targets are,” Obama said. “We’ve made the case to Congress and we’ve made the case to the American people, and we’ve got allies behind us so that it’s not just a one-off, but it’s something that over time is going to be effective.” In the Sotloff video, a masked militant warns Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue, “our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.” Obama responded that the airstrikes have been effective in blunting the militant threat and he will continue to battle the “bar-

But the rising sea has prevented her from getting there much since 2010, she said, because it’s almost always underwater. On a recent August morning, she made it to the site and found 19 young lobsters — far down from the huge colonies she found seven years ago, she said. “Things have changed dramatically,” she said. The rising sea is connected to the warming waters because higher temperatures make the water less dense, said Bob Steneck, a professor at the University of Maine’s School of Marine Sciences. Until 2004, Gulf temperatures were increasing by about 0.05 degrees per year since 1982, about in line with worldwide trends, said Andy Pershing, chief scientific officer at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and the man behind the 99 percent figure. But then the pace accelerated to about a halfdegree per year — nearly 10 times faster. Scientists are not certain why.The rest of the oceans are also warming, albeit not as fast,as increased carbon dioxide in the air has contributed to rising temperatures, Pershing said.

University who studies ocean temperature change and was not involved in the research that resulted in the 99 percent statistic. It is a rallying point for environmental activists, who see the response to the temperature rise and its impact on fisheries as a touchstone for the global debate about climate change. “The warming is already here,” said Jeff Young, a Pew spokesman for Charitable Trust’s oceans project, which has campaigned in favor of restrictions on fishing for herring, another species leaving for colder water.“And we have to deal with it.” The rising waters in the Gulf — a big dent in the East Coast stretching from Massachusetts to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick — have interfered with the work of Diane Cowan, founder of the Lobster Conservancy, who has conducted lobster censuses for 22 years. The shore of a cove off Maine’s Friendship Long Island has long been the best site on the East Coast to find baby lobsters, she said. Around 2007, she couldn’t lift a rock without finding one, and usually found several.

FRIENDSHIP, Maine (AP) — Imagine Cape Cod without cod. Maine without lobster. The region’s famous rocky beaches invisible, obscured by constant high waters. It’s already starting to happen. The culprit is the warming seas — and in particular the Gulf of Maine, whose waters are heating up faster than 99 percent of the world’s oceans, scientists say. Long-established species of commercial fish, like cod, herring and northern shrimp, are departing for colder waters. Black sea bass, blue crabs and new species of squid — all highly unusual for the Gulf — are turning up in fishermen’s nets. The Gulf of Maine’s warming reflects broader trends around the North Atlantic. But the statistic — accepted by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — underscores particular fears about the Gulf’s unique ecosystem and the lucrative fishing industries it supports for three U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. “These changes are very real, and we’re seeing them happen quickly,” said Malin Pinsky, a biology professor at New Jersey’s Rutgers

Pirates open with win THE WORLD Marshfield’s volleyball team opened the season with a dominant win over Sutherlin, beating the visiting Bulldogs 25-17, 25-6, 25-17 in a nonleague match Tuesday. “We played really well for our first match out,” Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel said. “We served the ball tough and kept Sutherlin out of their system of what they wanted to do.” Paige Tavernier and Shaylynn Jensen had six aces each for the Pirates and Carli Clarkson added five. Abby Clough had 10 kills and Hailey Woolsey had eight to pace the offense. Gabby Bryant had 10 digs and was phenomenal in serve receive, Montiel said. “A 2.2 serve receive ratio out of 3 is what our goal is,” Montiel said. “Gabby passed a 2.68 tonight.” Jensen had 18 assists and Tavernier added eight. Bulldogs fall: Junction City held off a comeback by North Bend to beat the host Bulldogs 25-13, 2518, 17-25, 21-25, 16-14 in North Bend’s opener Tuesday. North Bend coach Les Willett said he was thrilled with his team’s effort. “We’re awfully young,” he said. “I’m happy they didn’t give up. “We could have folded after two (games). They had a couple matches under their belt already and this was it for us.” A couple of freshmen made strong debuts for North Bend. Brittney Kubli had a team-best nine kills.Amanda Powley had 20 assists. Lindsey Henson had 16 digs, while fellow senior Brooklyn Dunham had five kills. Sophomore Cody Wallace had eight kills. Shayla Webster had 13 kills and Kamryn Knox added 10 for Junction City. Olivia Currian had 24 assists. North Bend’s young squad will get more experience in a jamboree at Reedsport tonight. Cruisers win: Powers edged the visiting Coquille junior varsity team 25-17, 21-25, 25-13, 17-25, 1513 in the season opener Tuesday. “It was good for them,” Powers coach Heather Shorb said. “It was intense. “They played really tough.” The Cruisers, who open the Skyline League play at home against Glendale on Thursday, got an ace from Riley Middlebrook on match point. Emilie Fandel had five kills and six digs and Kay Martinez had eight kills and four digs for the Cruisers. Elizabeth Standley had two kills and five digs and Kendall Kenyon had three kills and three digs.

Local Recap

BOYS SOCCER North Bend 4, Junction City 1: Ignacio Aguilar scored two goals to lead North Bend as the Bulldogs opened the season with a road win. Jarod Bohannan got North Bend on the board with a goal in the 16th minute and Ian Bream also scored in the first half as the Bulldogs built a 3-0 halftime lead. The Bulldogs, who reached the state semifinals last year, had a chance to use the second half to develop as a team. “We were able to get plenty of kids in the game and give them plenty of playing time,” coach Tom Zomerschoe said. “We gave them a lot of looks at different formations.” North Bend has a big match Saturday against Astoria as part of a doubleheader at Corvallis. The girls teams from the two schools start at 1 p.m. and the boys at 3 p.m. “That will be a very good test for us,” Zomerschoe said.

GIRLS SOCCER Sutherlin 9, Coquille 0: The Red Devils fell to the Bulldogs in the season opener for the two schools. Coquille is breaking in a number of new players, while Sutherlin did not have a girls team last year, though several of the girls played on the boys squad. “We’re young,” said Coquille coach Mark Usselman. The Red Devils have four exchange students on the team. Two freshmen also had solid matches Tuesday — Ashly Olson and Elisa Owens, Usselman said. Sutherlin, meanwhile, had a few standouts “who are aggressive and dominated the front,” he said. “We were OK,” Usselman said. “We’ve got things we’ve got to take care of.”

Philomath wins soccer showdown BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — Philomath and North Bend are two of the state’s top girls soccer programs, but when they opened the season Tuesday, the visiting Warriors were a couple of steps ahead of the Bulldogs. Philomath got a pair of secondhalf goals to leave town with a 2-0 win. Last year, the Warriors were the only team to beat the Bulldogs in the regular season, with a 3-1 win at Philomath late in the season. North Bend coach Dustin Hood said he wished this year’s match had been later in the year, after the Bulldogs have a chance to jell as a team. “We may get the opportunity to meet them again,” he said, referring to the Class 4A playoffs. Last year, North Bend reached the semifinals before losing to La Grande 1-0. Philomath was eliminated by La Salle Prep one round earlier. North Bend has a lot of work to do before worrying about the playoffs, though. And Tuesday’s match was a good start, if the Bulldogs use the experience properly. “Nobody wants to lose, but they’re a good team,” North Bend’s McKenzie Edwards said. “You can use (the game) to learn and to build. You definitely find your weak points.” In that way, a loss isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “I would take a game like this over a 10-0 win every day,” Edwards said. “I’m proud of us. We didn’t give up. “Even after they scored on us,

North Bend’s Molly Joyce, a transfer from Brookings-Harbor, had a couple of near misses late in the half. Teammate Emma Powley had another shot that was saved by Philomath’s Abi Pittman. But Philomath dominated the second half, when North Bend

didn’t get a single shot on goal — the Warriors out-shot the Bulldogs 15-4 for the match. Philomath broke the scoreless tie with a goal by Megan Kilgore in the 52nd minute. Teammate Megan Grimmer lofted the ball over North Bend’s defenders from the left wing and Kilgore booted it into the side of the net past North

Bend goalkeeper Kadie Forderer. “It was like a textbook far-post cross,” Kilgore said. “I was glad I finished it.” The Warriors scored again in the 57th minute, when Kyndal Marshall blasted a ball into the upper right corner of the net — just out of Forderer’s reach. “I think we played well,” Kilgore said. More online: “We commu- See the gallery at nicated really theworldlink.com. We well. passed really well. I thought we were aggressive to every ball. Our defense really stepped up.” North Bend’s offense was one area that glaringly needed improvement, Hood said. “I wasn’t pleased with the way we possessed the ball,” he said. “Take nothing away (from them). Philomath is a good team.” North Bend had several holes to fill in the lineup, with a few key seniors from last year graduated and Damie Zomerschoe (torn anterior cruciate ligament) and Alexa Reed (sports hernia in both hips) recovering from injuries. Veterans Edwards and Brianna Cole also are not back at full speed after summer injuries. Katie Farlow, another returning player, had a strong match, as did newcomer Rowan Colby, who has never played before, Hood said. “The new kids did well,” Hood said. “There’s lots to build on. “We will improve through the season.”

Score two for the linemen in writer races If you’re going to embarrass yourself, make sure it’s not on camera. In a suit. Around dozens of teenagers. Thursday, I had the pleasure of closing down summer football practice at both Marshfield and North Bend by racing two of the teams’ senior linemen. We raced 40-yards and the video is now available online at theworldlink.com. But before we get into shameless promotion, let me back up a little bit. Tomorrow, The World’s 20-page 2014 South Coast high school football preview comes out. My editor John Gunther and I slave — actually, mostly John — for three weeks leading up to Week 1 to try and get as SPORTS many names and faces in the edition as possible. Plenty of kids, especially seniors, deserve some type of recognition after working three long years to become their program’s leaders. And we’re happy to showcase them in any way we can. But this year, print wasn’t enough. not a dirty little secret GEORGE thatIt’slineman don’t get much ARTSITAS publicity. They’re the nameless guys in the trenches, grinding it out play after play. I know I’m going to talk to mostly wideouts, quarterbacks and running backs after every game I cover this fall. So for the video, I decided to gear it around linemen while I still can. So, taking a cue from Rich Eisen’s annual NFL Combine stunt, I decided to run a 40yard dash. But instead of going full-on selfindulgence, I put a football player next to me and made it a competition. And I wore a suit just like the former SportsCenter anchor, because, I mean, if you’re going to lose, might as well look good. So, on the day of the duels, I went and got a suit at Goodwill that was a little more Dick Tracy than I would’ve preferred for $11.99. (Actually, take 20 percent off that. I donated a shirt and got a discount, because I am, if noth-

See the video on George’s Challenge at www.theworldlink.com. ing else, selfishly charitable.) If we’re being honest, I put these kids in a lose-lose situation. If they win, they beat some sluggish sports writer in a cheap suit. If they lose, ridicule would flood their entire 2014. “Remember when the guy from the paper beat you? In white leather loafers?” The loss would follow them until winter, maybe further. Thankfully, Pirate coach Josh Line and Bulldog coach Gary Prince picked two of their more fleet of foot lineman. Marshfield had Allan Engstrom take me on, and his confidence made me uncomfortable. He wasn’t arrogant or overly cocky or anything, he just knew he was going to win. The race was practically a formality for him. After I tripped on the first try (you can see my stumble clearly on the video), Engstrom smoked me in the official race by at least three lengths. North Bend used Hunter Harden, and he was not nearly as confident. And by the result, he shouldn’t have been. He just edged me out, beating me by a thigh pad.

I’ll give it up to Harden. He won. But his teammates made sure he had the home field advantage. The Bulldogs really made me feel like it was an away game for me. They were loud, rooting on their guy and really got into the six seconds of excitement we provided. (I’m not one for excuses, but if I was, I did have some slick AbbaZabba gators on that I struggled to find grip on.) Either way, Prince said he was impressed and called me fast, which is a pretty high compliment considering how well he and his blistering offense understands speed. At the end of the day, both teams probably needed a little bit of fun before the season turns up. North Bend has eyes on a state championship in Prince’s fourth year and Line expects an uptick from 2013’s 2-6 record in his second year. And both my race challengers came off like the type of kids who should be good leaders this year. I was impressed in the short time I spent with them. Plus they got to embarrass me on camera. In a suit. Around all their teammates. Not a bad start to the season.

WNBA Taurasi leads Mercury into championship series PHOENIX — Diana Taurasi had 31 points, including a 50-footer at the end of the third quarter, to lead the Phoenix Mercury to a 96-78 win over the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night, putting the Mercury into the WNBA Finals. Taurasi scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter to give Phoenix an 80-67 lead with 7:19 left. Minnesota had eliminated Phoenix in the 2011 and 2013 en route to winning the title. The Mercury, which had the best record in the league, will face the winner of Wednesday’s ChicagoIndiana game. Seimone Augustus had 13 of her 21 points in the third quarter as the Lynx erased a 10-point deficit. The Lynx tied the game at 67 with 1:25 left in the third on Maya Moore’s layup. Taurasi then hit a jumper to restore the advantage and then nailed the shot from 50-feet away to give Phoenix a five-point lead after three quarters and seize all the momentum from the Lynx. Lindsay Whalen had 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists but missed four straight shots to start the fourth quarter. Moore had 16 points on 6-of-14 shooting. Brittney Griner had 22 points, six rebounds and four assists for Phoenix. DeWanna Bonner and Candice Dupree each added 14 for the Mercury. Phoenix, 29-5 during the regular season, hasn’t been in the finals since winning the title in 2009. The Mercury have won 18 straight home games, last losing to San Antonio on May 23.

CYCLING ICU says Tour was free of positive doping tests PARIS — The International Cycling Union says there were no positive doping tests at this year’s Tour de France, after more than 700 blood and urine samples were collected by the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation. The UCI released the figures on Tuesday, saying that of the 719 samples, 197 were collected before the race and 522 during it; altogether 320 were taken for the purposes of the Biological Passport, which monitors fluctuations in a rider’s blood values. All samples were systematically analyzed for stimulating agents and testosterone. The UCI, CADF and the French Anti-Doping Agency — whose labs tested samples taken during the race — will keep all samples for possible retrospective analysis. A total of 622 samples were collected on the 2013 Tour, 198 for passport purposes.

Hornaday was fourth in the Truck Series standings when team co-owner Harry Scott announced last week that entry would not race Sunday at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. Ben Kennedy and Cameron Hayley did compete for Turner Scott on Sunday. Kyle Larson and Dylan Kwasniewski raced Saturday at Atlanta in the Nationwide Series race for Turner Scott. Turner Scott co-owners Harry Scott and Steve Turner are at odds over the management of the race team, and each has filed legal action against each other.

Watson chooses experience in Ryder Cup picks NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. captain Tom Watson said he wanted to fill out his Ryder Cup team with players who were on form and starting to peak. The final pick was more about two years ago than what happened the day before. Watson went with experience — and a gut feeling — when he selected Keegan Bradley, Hunter Mahan and Webb Simpson to complete an American team that will try to end two decades of European dominance in the Ryder Cup. He didn’t decide until Tuesday morning to go with Simpson, persuaded by a pair of big wins he had in the last Ryder Cup. That was enough for Watson to take him over Chris Kirk, who went head-tohead with Rory McIlroy over the last 36 holes Monday and won the Deutsche Bank Championship. “Nobody is going to expect us to win,” Watson said Tuesday night from Rockefeller Center. “But I fully expect us to win.” Bradley and Mahan weren’t surprising choices. Bradley wears his Ryder Cup passion proudly, and he made a sterling debut two years ago by winning all three team matches with Phil Mickelson. Even last week, he didn’t hide how badly he wanted to be on the team. Mahan won The Barclays two weeks ago against one of the strongest fields of the year.

Webb Simpson hits out of a bunker during the U.S. Open in June. Tom Watson made Simpson one of his picks for the Ryder Cup. won in Wales to deliver another win to Europe. Simpson was a small mystery. In his Ryder Cup debut at Medinah, he teamed with Bubba Watson for a pair of 5-and-4 victories. Simpson also lost two matches, including a singles match to Ian Poulter in a match he never trailed until Poulter won the last two holes for a 2-up victory. Kirk, who has never played in a Ryder Cup, finished ahead of Simpson in the standings and won a FedEx Cup playoff event. “People have to realize that’s a snapshot,” Watson said. “You have to look at the total package, the total picture. That’s just one tourna-

ment. ... The final decision of Webb, that was the toughest of the decisions because Webb had some good play and he had some bad play. He missed a few cuts recently. But he’s shown what he can do. “The guy can get it done,” he said. “He can flat get it done.” Watson bristled when asked whether he contradicted himself by saying he was looking for the hot hand after qualifying had ended at the PGA Championship, and then choosing a hot hand from two years ago. “Why do you think I said that? Why do you think I put the pressure on them?” he said. “I put the pressure on them to play well to see if

they could play well under pressure. It’s not a contradiction. Webb played some damn good golf.” Whomever he chose, Watson’s message was clear. The Ryder Cup, to be played Sept. 26-28 at Gleneagles, is all about redemption. The Americans were poised to win at Medinah two years ago when they took a 10-6 lead into the final day, only for Poulter, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer to deliver key putts and big comebacks that allowed Europe to retain the cup. Europe has won seven of the last nine times, and it will be heavily favored in Scotland. Earlier Tuesday, at the European

Tour headquarters in Wentworth, captain Paul McGinley selected Poulter, Lee Westwood and Stephen Gallacher, who will be 39 when he makes his Ryder Cup debut in his home country. Bradley said last week at the Deutsche Bank Championship there wasn’t a moment that he was not thinking about the Ryder Cup. He feared being left off the team when he finished his round on Monday, and shared an emotional hug with his girlfriend when Watson gave him the good news. “I made no secret how badly I want to go back and win the Ryder Cup,” he said. “This is a redemption year for a lot of guys who were on the team last year.” Bradley and Simpson are among seven players who were on that U.S. team that was on the losing end of the “Miracle at Medinah.” The others are Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. Mahan knows better than most what it’s like to lose. The 2010 matches came down to the final game, and McDowell went 2-up with a birdie on the 16th hole. Mahan stubbed a chip short of the 17th green that all but secured a European victory, and it seemed to him as though all of Wales stormed across the green when it was over. “Losing lingers,” he said. “It’s been four years, but it feels like yesterday. I remember walking off the green and everyone was having a big party, and I felt like I was walking by myself for 600 yards to the clubhouse.”

Welker will miss four games for PED violation

The Associated Press

Houston Texans' J.J. Watt before an NFL preseason football game against the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 16.

Watt gets $100M contract HOUSTON (AP) — J.J. Watt couldn’t sleep on Monday night after agreeing to a six-year contract extension with the Houston Texans. The star defensive end arrived at NRG Stadium about 3:30 a.m. and found the security code on the door had changed, keeping him locked out. A cleaning lady let him in and Watt went straight to the weight room. “I thought they were pulling a joke on me,” Watt said Tuesday. “I’m not even

on the team anymore.” Not a chance. Watt’s deal is reportedly worth $100 million, including a $10 million signing bonus and $51.8 million in guaranteed money overall. He’s now signed through the 2021 season. “I hope the people of Houston don’t mind me sticking around for a little while longer because I happen to like it here quite a bit,” Watt said. “I’m really excited about this and I’m very, very fortunate. I promise to do

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos will be without Wes Welker for the first four games of the season after the NFL said the receiver violated the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. Normally, the league announces such violations on Monday. News of Welker’s ban didn’t come down until late Tuesday, after the league offices had closed and the Broncos had already finished drawing up blueprints for their opener against Indianapolis, undoubtedly with Welker playing a prominent role. ESPN first reported Welker’s suspension, saying the violation had to do with amphetamines. Welker told the Denver Post in an email that he was “as shocked as everyone at today’s news.” He noted he’s meticulous about what he puts in his body and would “never knowingly take a sub-

everything in my power to work extremely hard and give everything that I have to prove that I’ve earned this.” He certainly has so far. The 25-year-old Watt was the 2012 Defensive Player of 1 the Year after recording 20 ⁄2 sacks and batting down 16 passes. He has 74 tackles for 1 loss, 36 ⁄2 sacks and 27 pass breakups since he joined the league as the 11th overall pick NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) — The NFL susin 2011, and he leads the pended Jim Irsay for the first six games of the league in sacks (31) and swatseason and fined him $500,000 for violating ted passes (21) in the past two its personal conduct policy, coming down seasons. hard on the Indianapolis Colts owner Tuesday just hours after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor stemming from an embarrassing March traffic stop. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Irsay is barred from team facilities, practices and the severity of the injury wasn’t revealed games and cannot represent the Colts at NFL until a few days later. meetings or events. The fine is the maximum “Yeah, I felt something goofy.

continue playing at a high level.” Welker played a key role in the two greatest statistical offenses in NFL history: the 2007 New England Patriots and last year’s Broncos. He caught 73 passes for 778 yards and a career-high 10 TDs despite missing the last 3 1/2 games of last season. He returned for the playoffs and had 18 catches for 160 yards and a TD. Without Welker, Peyton Manning will have to lean more on speedy wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who’s played in the slot before, or tight end Jacob Tamme, who filled the role at times last year when Welker was out. Tight end Julius Thomas is also better working the middle of the field. And if Sanders moves inside, that opens up playing time for rookie Cody Latimer or Bubba Caldwell opposite flanker Demaryius Thomas.

Irsay suspended, fined $500K

Kiko Alonso staying upbeat ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Sidelined for the season, Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso is staying upbeat by focusing on rehabilitating his surgically repaired left knee. “It stinks. But you’ve just got to be optimistic about it and keep grinding,” Alonso said Tuesday. “Because if you do everything you need to do in your rehab, it’ll come back stronger.” The second-year player spoke publicly for the first time since being hurt two months ago and about 10 days after arriving in Buffalo to continue his recovery at the Bills facility. Alonso walked with only a slight limp and said his recovery is on schedule after tearing a ligament while working out in Oregon. Alonso said he first felt discomfort in his knee during a change of direction drill, but

stance to gain a competitive advantage in any way.” The 11th-year pro who’s been the NFL’s top slot receiver over the last decade added that he never concerned himself with the league’s drug rules but now realizes those policies “are clearly flawed.” While it takes multiple violations of the league’s substance-abuse policies to trigger a suspension, a four-game ban is issued for a single violation of the NFL’s ban on performance-enhancing substances. Welker’s suspension will cost him roughly $706,000 in base salary. “Tonight’s news regarding Wes is very disappointing, but we understand the league’s authority in this area,” coach John Fox said in a statement. “While it’s unfortunate to not have him to start the year, I have full confidence in our wide receivers and expect that group to

Irsay did not comment outside the courtroom, but he apologized to Colts fans in a prepared statement. “I am committed to do everything in my power to turn this whole experience into a positive event for myself, my family and the community,” he said. “In retrospect, I now know that the incident opened my eyes to issues in my life that needed addressing and helped put me on the path to regain my health. I truly hope and pray that my episode will help in some small measure to diminish the stigma surrounding our country’s terrible and deadly problem of addiction. It is a disease.” Irsay’s case was closely watched around the NFL — not least among players — because there are few examples of the league punishing an owner like Irsay. Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand was suspended for 30 days and fined $100,000 in 2010 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy following his guilty plea to driving while impaired. A player with a first-offense misdemeanor DUI would not be suspended and would be fined no more than $50,000 under terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Police said an officer spotted Irsay driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal.

Fun and clever ways to use this for that Recently, as I was half way out the door, car keys in hand and on the way to the home i m p rove m e n t ce n te r, I remembered that I might already have what I needed. Cooking spray! EVERYDAY That’s it. CHEAPSKATE I’d heard that it j u s t m i g h t wo rk . I t did, and q u i t e perfectly, to o. No m o r e squeaks Mary and I Hunt save d a trip and purchase, too. Got a squeaky door or sticky drawer? Spritz a little cooking spray on the hinges or drawer slides, and then work it back and forth to distribute the “lubricant.” Wipe away any drips with a paper towel. Use mayonnaise to get rid of white water rings on wood furniture. Make sure the area is completely dry, and then spread enough full-fat mayonnaise on the spot. Let it sit fo r seve ra l h o u rs, eve n overnight. Now wipe it clean, and buff with a soft clean cloth. Magical, isn’t it? Don’t toss out that spare eyeglasses case. It can be used to protect your jewelry in your suitcase. Or how about that collection of crochet hooks that are rolling around in a drawer? They’ll fit nicely into that case. It can also make for a dandy manicure kit or emergency first aid or sewing kit. K inda makes you wish you had several cases, doesn’t it? Here’s one more: Storage bin for those rascally ear buds. If you buy yeast packets in bulk, some of them could be too old to use by the time you need them. To extend their life by months, store them in the refrigerator or freezer rather than in your kitchen pantry. Zip them in a plastic bag while they’re in cold storage. When you’re ready to use a yeast packet, let it warm up to room temperature first. Got an old shower curtain? Even if it’s no longer good enough for its original purpose, there are several ways to extend its useful life: Use it to cover your patio furniture or barbecue next winter. Connect it with bungee cords. Or keep it in the truck of your car as a tarp for roadside emergencies in the event you need to sit on the ground, change a tire or make a quick underbody repair. Look for Rain-X in the automotive aisle of your favorite discount store. It’s sold as a product to keep windshields free of water spots and help rain to sheet off windows. It works great on tub and shower walls to keep hard water stains from building up. Got an annoying stripped out screw that you need to remove? Easy! To get a better grip, trap one side of a wide rubber band (use one that you saved from that last bundle of fresh broccoli) between t h e sc rewd r ive r a n d t h e screw head. Now give it a try. Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630. Include your first and last name and state.

BRIDGE Ernest Dimnet, a French priest, writer and lecturer who wrote “The Art of Thinking” and died in 1954, said, “Education is the methodical creation of the habit of thinking.” How true — why didn’t we think of that? When I teach a class, I try to get my students to think like bridge players, not to bid the first thing that comes into their minds or to play the card nearest their thumbs. This deal from a social game is

instructive. What do you think of the auction? What should happen in four hearts after West leads the spade king? North was right to respond two clubs, Stayman. If South had replied two diamonds, North would have rebid two hearts, showing a weak major twosuiter with no game aspirations. When South bid two hearts, though, North should have passed. And South, with a minimum 15 high-card points, ought to have passed out three hearts. In four hearts, South probably has to play the trump suit without loss. To do that, he can either cash dummy’s ace, playing West for a singleton king, or lead his queen, hoping East has a singleton jack. They are mathematically equal, but leading the queen is better because West might fail to cover with king-doubleton. However, before that, South won the first trick and returned his second spade. Here, West defended perfectly, winning with his queen and shifting to a club. However, when declarer won with his ace and led the heart queen, West erred by playing low, so the contract made.
