Taking a look at Coast Radio Sports…
The Eugene Emeralds spanked the Salem Keizer Volcanoes with their bats last night… putting up 13 hits in a 13-7 win to capture the two teams’ three game series. Zach Kometani started the scoring for the Ems with a two-run home run in the second inning. The win leaves Eugene, at 8-and-6, a game behind Everett in second place in the West Division. The Emeralds are in Boise this evening where they’ll open up a five game series against the Hawks.
Typical of low-key coach Mike Riley, the Oregon State Beavers opened up fall practice in a ‘workmanlike’ manner this week. There was no big “media day” with speeches and prognostication about the upcoming season. Instead, the Beavers just got to work. All eyes are on senior flanker James Rodgers, who is coming off two surgeries. He was cleared to practice in “limited fashion”. Instead of his usual jersey number eight… he was on the field Monday wearing #1… the former number of his younger brother Jacquizz, who left the Beavers a year early and is now with the Atlanta Falcons. The Beavers open the season at home September 3rd against Sacramento State.

Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press
COQUILLE, Ore. (AP) - Prosecutors say they won't seek the death
penalty for a man accused of killing his mother and her boyfriend
in their home near Bandon, Ore., in February 2010. Gabriel Morris
has waived his right to a jury trial and stipulated to certain
evidence so witnesses did not have to be brought from the East
Coast to testify. Testimony before Judge Martin Stone is expected
to begin today in a Coos County courtroom in Coquille (Co-KEEL')
Ore.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - First lady Michelle Obama is in Oregon
visiting her brother, Oregon State University basketball coach
Craig Robinson. OSU athletics spokesman Shawn Schoeffler says she
flew in yesterday and is spending some vacation time with her
brother, who lives in Corvallis. Schoeffler says this is a private
vacation, and there will be no public appearances.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) - An autopsy has found that a Salem couple
found dead in a hot tub died of overheating and drowning and their
deaths were believed to be accidental. Dr. Larry Lewman of the
state medical examiner's office says 56-year-old Terry Kent and
57-year-old Melinda Sweeten died of "immersion hyperthermia," and
said heat was the primary factor in their deaths. The bodies of the
couple were found yesterday morning by a relative.
UNDATED (AP) - State health authorities say one person has died
and at least nine others were made ill from an E. coli outbreak
traced to fresh strawberries picked from a farm in Oregon's
Washington county and sold at farm stands and farmers markets. The
Oregon Public Health Authority yesterday identified the source of
the outbreak as the Jaquith Strawberry Farm in Newberg. The
fatality was a woman who died from kidney failure.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Matt Harrison pitched seven strong
innings for his career-high 10th victory, Nelson Cruz homered, and
the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 9-2 last night.
Harrison allowed two runs and five hits with six strikeouts and no
walks in 104-degree heat, surpassing his nine-win rookie season in
2008.
THE DALLES, Ore. (AP) - Five more women have accused a hospital
anesthesiologist at The Dalles of sexual abuse while they were
incapacitated. The Oregonian reports Dr. Frederick George Field was
charged with rape and felony sexual abuse in an arraignment
yesterday. He was indicted by a Wasco County grand jury last week
and accused of sexually abusing two other women.
HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) - About 550 Washington County residents may
file claims with the county for damage done to yards by a road crew
overspraying herbicide. KGW reports the county sent letters to
residents saying the spraying done by a contractor in June and July
may have damaged landscaping close to roads northwest of Portland.
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) - Josephine County sheriff's officers say
a 45-year-old woman died in an apparent drowning at a swimming
hole in Grants Pass. Deputies responded Saturday and found two
people administering CPR to Jo Ann Woods, who was unconscious. She
was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead on
Sunday.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Seattle Mariners placed shortstop
Brendan Ryan on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder
injury before last night's game against the Texas Rangers.
Infielder Luis Rodriguez was called up from Triple-A Tacoma. Ryan,
who is hitting .263 with two homers and 34 RBIs, missed the
previous three games after being injured Aug. 3 against Oakland.
RAINIER, Ore. (AP) - An anteater named Sweatpea is back home
with its owner after an adventure in Rainier. The 20-pound South American anteater was spotted by a driver Sunday alongside a road, slurping up ants. Abram Dreyer took it home and started calling veterinarians and the Humane Society to find the owner. A tip finally led to the owner. Kellie Caron is licensed to breed exotic animals. She picked up her wandering anteater. This fall, Sweatpea is headed for a zoo in Texas.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A prosecutor's review has found no
improper conduct by Portland police in the cardiac arrest death of
a man who ran from police last month. After reviewing police
reports in the death of Darris Eugene Johnson, prosecutor Bob
Leineweber of the Multnomah County district attorney's office
concludes the two arresting officers "showed professional
diligence and care." The 26-year-old Johnson died after fleeing on
July 10.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Alan Branch was looking for a chance to
start. The Seahawks were happy to oblige. Seattle targeted Branch
as someone they wanted to acquire as early as the draft in April.
When the lockout was lifted, the Seahawks followed through by
signing Branch during the free agency frenzy of a week ago. Branch
was quickly tabbed the starter at the pass rushing defensive tackle
position alongside the re-signed Brandon Mebane.

Dunes City to consider Septic Ordinances
The second reading of a pair of competing ordinances will be held Thursday evening at Dunes City Hall. Both would change an existing law that requires all septic systems in the small community be inspected and evaluated on a regular interval. One would repeal it outright. The other would require completion of the initial round of inspections but additional evaluations would not be on any given timeline. Both have been the target of critics who say the current Dunes City Council is undoing environmental protections that have been years in the making. Backers of both plans say Lane County and the State of Oregon offer adequate water quality protections and the added layer of regulation is unnecessary. The Dunes City Council meets Thursday at seven P.M.
Fallen Soldier Returns Home
Escorted by an honor guard of volunteers, police and firefighters, Brice Scott came home yesterday afternoon. The 22-year old soldier, husband and father of two was killed a week ago in Afghanistan when his unit was ambushed.
Scott, who was promoted to specialist-4 and awarded the Bronze Star for his actions posthumously, will be laid to rest following a funeral service tomorrow morning in Florence. He had numerous ties to Florence where his father, Steven Scott, resides along with two sets of grandparents.
One of those grandparents, Tim Robins, told the Register Guard last week that Scott met his wife, Dell, in Florence and he joined the Army to help support her and their two daughters, aged three and one.
Tomorrow’s service begins at 11-A.M. at the Florence Events Center.
About three-dozen motorcycles escorted the procession bringing the body of Brice Scott from the North Bend Airport yesterday afternoon. They were with the Patriot Guard Riders, a nationwide volunteer group dedicated to honoring fallen veterans.
Johnston: “It shows them that the country cares for what has happened.”
Dana Johnston of Jefferson, Oregon led the advance group that was waiting at Burns’ Riverside Chapel with several American Flags.
Johnston: “I’m not a veteran, I did not serve, I was unable to serve and I serve now.”
Johnston says the organization has more than a quarter-million members. They escort funeral processions and attend funerals only at the request of family members.
Ems Lose, Ducks get back to practice
Taking a look at Coast Radio Sports…
The Eugene offense sputtered last night, managing one hit and only two baserunners in the first three innings… and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes cruised to a 5-run shutout win over the Emeralds. The Volcanoes only had five hits, but really didn’t need them as five Eugene pitchers combined for ten walks in the game. The two teams wrap up their three-game series this evening in Keizer…
While questions swirled about his recruitment to Oregon, running back Lache Seastrunk set about preparing for the upcoming season with the Ducks. Seastrunk reported to fall football practice yesterday with his teammates, who are hoping to build on last season's success. But hanging over the Ducks is the NCAA probe into a $25,000 payment Oregon made last year to Willie Lyles and a Houston-based recruiting service. The Ducks are ranked number three in the pre-season polls… they open up in Arlington, Texas against LSU September 3rd.

News from around the state
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - Oregon prosecutors say they haven't yet
decided whether to seek the death penalty against a man accused of
killing his wife and four young children last month. Jordan Adam
Criado was arraigned Friday. He appeared via video slumped in a
wheelchair as he recovers from the fire authorities say he set
after stabbing his family. He was released this week from a
hospital where he spent three weeks being treated for smoke
inhalation. He hasn't entered a plea.
WATERVILLE, Ore. (AP) - A pilot escaped injury after his biplane
flipped in the McKenzie River in Oregon after making an emergency
landing. The Register-Guard reported says 65-year-old John Proctor
was flying a biplane equipped with floats when he landed on the
river Saturday. He was headed for Detroit Lake but had to look for
an alternate landing site because of fog. He landed in the river
but flipped after striking submerged debris.
GRESHAM, Ore. (AP) - A man has been arrested in Gresham on
suspicion of killing a 1-year-old girl. The Oregonian reports that
22-year-old Jeffrey Locker was arrested Friday in connection with
the death of Brooklyn Saechao. Gresham Police Sgt. Wallace Coon
says paramedics responded to the home Tuesday when Locker called to
say the girl had hit her head on an object in the house. She was
taken to a hospital but died Thursday.
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) - Police in Springfield are trying to
figure out how a man was injured before he was found lying on the
ground near railroad tracks. Police say they don't know if the man
fell, jumped or was hit by a train. The man was in a hospital's
intensive care unit on Friday, and police say his injuries are
life-threatening.
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -Lane County veterans sometimes have to make
the long trip to the VA's Roseburg Medical Center because of
limited services at the Veterans Affairs medical offices in Eugene.
The Register-Guard says Lane County veterans made nearly 40,000
trips last year in a van or by private car to get health care at
Roseburg.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Ervin Santana pitched into the ninth
inning of his fourth consecutive phenomenal start, and Mark Trumbo
homered off Felix Hernandez in the Los Angeles Angels' 2-1 victory
over the Seattle Mariners yesterday. Santana held the Mariners to
seven hits and won his duel with Hernandez, whose 12 strikeouts
were one shy of his career high. Santana lost his shutout bid on
Mike Carp's one-out homer in the ninth inning.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - One casualty of the coming federal budget
crunch could be a new $3 billion bridge carrying Interstate 5
across the Columbia River. The project's sponsors acknowledge that
the bridge project is going to take another whack. At worst,
though, the cutback in federal spending could force officials to
shelve $130 million worth of plans, or to scale back the project.
Its backers say they're not ready to consider either option.
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - A group of western pond turtles raised
at the Oregon Zoo will be released into the Columbia River Gorge in
Washington this week. The Columbian reports the release is part of
a recovery plan, started in 1991 by Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo and
the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Oregon Zoo
VERONIA, Ore. (AP) - After narrowly losing his bid to become
Oregon's first Republican governor in 24 years, Chris Dudley has
returned to running his charitable foundation. Dudley told the
Oregonian that he hasn't ruled out the possibility of another
campaign. But for now, the former Trailblazer wants to focus on his
family.
ATLANTA (AP) - Angel McCoughtry scored 17 points, Erika de Souza
added 13 and the Atlanta Dream snapped a two-game losing streak
with a 70-53 win over the Seattle Storm yesterday. In a rematch of
last year's WNBA finals, the defending champion Storm committed 29
turnovers, tying the league's single-game high this season. Swin
Cash scored 16 points and Katie Smith had 11, but Seattle's
three-game winning streak ended.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Washington County sheriff's deputy is
recovering after being stabbed with a pencil by a jail inmate.
Authorities told The Oregonian the deputy was treated for multiple
puncture wounds to his face and has been released from a hospital.
Authorities say other inmates came to the deputy's aid during the
attack.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Tens of thousands of workers represented by
Oregon's top two state employees' unions are preparing to vote this
month on a proposed union contract. The Statesman Journal reports
the unions say that an analysis of the deals finds the contracts
would protect workers' current pay levels.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - The Seattle Seahawks haven't completely
revamped their secondary from last season, but as their training
camp gears up the depth of Seattle's defensive backs is younger and
bigger. John Schneider has opted to stick with the young defensive
backs that he and head coach Pete Carroll drafted in the last two
years, passing on several high-talent cornerbacks who hit the free
agent market. The Seahawks play their first pre-season game
Thursday against the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.

Taking a look at Coast Radio Sports…
The Eugene Emeralds are back on top in the West Division after taking two of three games over the weekend. Eugene started off with a 10-8 win over the Tri-City Dust Devils at home Friday night, then concluded their five-game series with a one-run shutout loss Saturday. Yesterday, they belted out 13 hits and capitalized on a half-dozen Salem-Keizer errors to down the Volcanoes 9-5 in Keizer. At 7-5 in the second half of the season, the Emeralds share the division lead with Everett.
Mo Vaughn wrapped up her summer season with a six-stroke victory at the Oregon Women’s Stroke Play championship yesterday in Creswell. The Reedsport teen shot an even-par round yesterday and was the only golfer in the field to finish under par for the tournament… at one-under overall. She’ll be trading in her clubs this week for a volleyball in preparation for a return to classes at Reedsport High School next month.
