Headaches and Raspy Voices as Wildfire Smoke Chokes U.S. West SMOKEY: Residents Suffer Effects of Fires Burning in U.S. and Canada By Keith Riddler The Associated Press The smoke from massive wildfires hangs like fog over large parts of the U.S. West, an irritating haze causing health concerns, forcing sports teams to change schedules and disrupt- ing life from Seattle to tiny Seeley Lake, Montana. Air quality has been rated unhealthy across the region because of blazes that show no signs of abating. Officials said Friday that one of the worst U.S. wildfire seasons in terms of land burned is likely to keep scorch- ing Western states and blanket- ing them with smoke until later this fall.

As the points flashed on the board the Warriors sideline be- came familiarly quiet, if only for a moment. “For a second we went back to the old Rochester, but the coach- es stayed on us and brought us back,” said Rochester signal call- er Bryce Lollar. With less than a minute re- maining in the first half the Warriors backed Tenino up deep in their own territory and forced the Beavers to attempt a punt.

Even Leake had a moment of concern when three batters into his Seattle tenure he had allowed three hits and a run. "That first inning I was like, 'What am I putting myself into?'" Leake said. "Luckily I was able to pull it together." Leake overcame a shaky be- ginning to throw seven innings in his Seattle debut, and the Mariners snapped a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. Acquired from St. Louis ear- lier in the week to help Seattle's beleaguered rotation, Leake gave the Mariners the kind of perfor- mance they needed to remain on the fringes of the wild-card race. Leake (1-0), who was 7-12 with St. Louis, allowed two runs in the first inning, but held the A's scoreless the rest of the way. It was just the fourth time since the All-Star break a Mariners start- ing pitcher has gotten through seven innings and the first since James Paxton did it on July 24.

NFL Davis’ Late TD Rallies Seahawks Past Raiders 17-13 By Michael Wagaman The Associated Press OAKLAND — Seattle quar- terback Austin Davis wasn’t real happy with his game-winning touchdown pass to Kenny Lawler, even if it might have solidified his status as the Seahawks’ pri- mary backup. The way Davis viewed the play, it was a lucky throw that Lawler made the best of. Davis threw a 16-yard touch- down pass to Lawler with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, and Seattle beat the Oakland Raiders 17-13 in a preseason game Thursday night. “We ran four verts, they played single high and the nickel hung outside, and K did a good job leaning on him, breaking across,” Davis said. “It wasn’t a great throw. I threw it behind him but I threw it early enough where the defender couldn’t make a play on it. Really a better catch than it was a throw.” The Seahawks trailed 13-10 following Giorgio Tavecchio’s 28-yard field goal with 3:46 left before Davis engineered a seven- play, 75-yard drive in 2:36 that likely gave him the edge over Trevone Boykin for the backup ERIC RISBERG / The Associated Press job behind Russell Wilson.

Thursday’s 2A Football

JARED WENZELBURGER / For The Chronicle Centralia’s Tristin Dickey (8) looks for space against R.A. Long on Thursday in Longview. Centralia Falls Short in Season Opener TOUGH BREAKS: Lumberjacks Jump Out to 21-0 Halftime Lead in 54-21 Nonleague Win By Aaron VanTuyl [email protected] LONGVIEW — It wasn’t the way the Tigers had hoped to start the season. Well, maybe that’s not entire- ly true. The actual start of Cen- tralia’s 2017 football debut went just as it was drawn up. Kolby Baird kicked off, dribbled a short boot to his left, and the Tigers re- covered the awkwardly bouncing ball for the first optimal onside kick result of new head coach Jeremy Thibault’s young tenure. The promising opening, though, was little more than a red herring in Centralia’s 54-21 nonleague loss. The Lumber- jacks took advantage of a slew of short-field situations given by their guests in the rare Thurs- day night affair at Longview Memorial Stadium, turning two botched first-half punts into quick touchdowns, recovering a third in the end zone and keep- ing the Tiger offense at bay for three quarters.

By Patricia Sheridan Pittsburgh Post-Gazette PITTSBURGH — The Meth- odists had the uncanny abil- ity to pitch their summer re- vival camp tents on what would someday become prized real es- tate. Martha’s Vineyard in Mas- sachusetts, Ocean City, N.J., and the Chautauqua Institution in western New York are just a few locations the Methodists chose. The Martha’s Vineyard Campmeeting Association, a National Historic Landmark, is considered the first. Before the Civil War, the camps were just tents surrounding a large open- air tabernacle used for services. After the war, small Victorian cottages sprang up in place of the tents, and the rest of the country discovered its beauty. Another group of Methodists did the same thing in a wooded glen in Natrona Heights in 1849. Although this group didn’t dem- onstrate the same real estate savvy as some of their brethren, they did have staying power. Now in its 168th year, the Pitts- burgh Tarentum Campmeeting Patricia Sheridan / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Association is a cottage commu- Several of the summer cottages at the Pittsburgh Tarentum Campmeeting Association. nity with a multidenomination- al Christian demographic.
