MELBOURNE,
Aus-
tralia – The International
team has the lead going
into the final day of the
Presidents Cup for the
first time in 16 years, and
it has a trio of rookies to
thank for that.
Marc Leishman and
unbeaten rookie Abra-
ham Ancer staged a re-
markable rally Saturday
afternoon in foursomes,
going from 5 down with
eight holes to play to earn
a most unlikely halve
against Justin Thomas
and Rickie Fowler.
Byeong Hun An and
Joaquin Niemann never
led in the final match and
scratched out another
half-point against Matt
Kuchar and Tony Finau.
That gave the Interna-
tionals a 10-8 lead going

Public Notice Announcing the Availability
of an Environmental Assessment
Ohio State co-defen-
sive coordinator Jeff Ha-
fley is the new Boston
College football coach.
“Jeff ’s shown through-
out his coaching career he
is a tremendous leader
with high integrity and a
gift for teaching,” BC ath-
letic director Martin Jar-
mond said in a statement
Saturday. “His passion,
leadership and ability to
recruit and develop stu-
dent-athletes make him
the right fit to lead Boston
College to greater heights

seasons in the NFL before
joining the Buckeyes this
year. The 40-year-old
New Jersey native also
has coached in college at

lege Football Playoff lead-
ing the nation in yards
per play at 3.93. He is a fi-
nalist for the Frank
Broyles Award that goes

went 44-44 in seven sea-
sons with BC and was
hired by Colorado State to
be its head coach this
week.
Hafley coached under
Dave Wannstedt at Pitt

AGENCY: Rural Business Services, USDA
ACTION: Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Rural Business Services, as
required by the National Environmental Policy Act, is issuing an environmental
assessment (EA) in connection with possible impacts related to a project
proposed by the Drift Creek Solar, LLC (Applicant). The proposal is for
construction of a 2.2 megawatt (MW) solar facility (Project) located
approximately 2.6 miles southwest of Silverton in Marion County, Oregon. The
proposed Project consists of approximately 12-acre portion of a larger 27-acre
parcel in Marion County.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Beyer, State Environmental
Coordinator at (503) 414-3368, 1220 SW 3rd Avenue, Suite 1801, Portland,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Applicant’s proposed project would
use ground-mounted, fi xed tilt solar arrays, consisting of photovoltaic (PV)
modules, inverters, and associated racking and electrical equipment. The
Project would have a generating capacity of 4,064 megawatt-hours (MWh) of
energy per year and would sell this energy to Portland General Electric (PGE)
under a long-term fi xed power purchase agreement.
when constructed, the solar arrays and associated components would be
no more than 10 feet in height and would be surrounded by 7-foot tall chain
link security fence. The facility will be located on privately-owned property in
Marion County, Oregon.

environmental assessment for RBS that describes the project, assesses the
proposed project’s environmental impacts, and summarizes, as applicable,
any mitigation measures used to minimize environmental eff ects. RBS has
conducted an independent evaluation of the environmental assessment and
believes that it accurately assesses the impacts of the proposed project. No
signifi cant impacts are expected as a result of the construction of the project.
Questions and comments should be sent to RBS at the address provided. RBS
will accept questions and comments on the environmental assessment for 14
days from the date of publication of this notice.
Any fi nal action by RBS related to the proposed project will be subject to, and
contingent upon, compliance with all relevant Federal environmental laws and
regulations and completion of environmental review procedures as prescribed

Goggia leads Italian

ST. MORITZ, Switzer-
land – She can joke now
about the accident that
sent her car into a twist-
ing fall off a mountain
road and left it balancing
on top of a van as if
parked there by choice.
On Saturday, Sofia
Goggia won her first
World Cup ski race since
walking away uninjured
from the incident in her
native Italy eight months
ago.
Her silver Audi left a
slippery road at Sestriere
when she steered to avoid
hitting the car in front
which had slowed. The
27-year-old Italian’s ski-
ing was more than okay
on a sunny but wind-
swept mountain above
the high-end resort of St.
Moritz.
Goggia won by the
smallest margin, just 0.01
second faster than team-
mate Federica Brignone.
Shiffrin trailed Goggia
by 0.13 in third. A sixth
podium finish in eight
World Cup races so far ex-
tended her overall stand-
ings lead as she seeks a
fourth straight title.
It was the second time
in two weeks that Shiffrin

Silverton Appeal
December 18 & 25, 2019
Dated: November 25, 2019
Michael Beyer, State Environmental Coordinator
received a notice of alle-
gations from the NCAA
following a federal inves-
tigation into corruption
and bribery in the sport.
The school said in a
statement Friday night it
has “cooperated with the
NCAA since it first be-
came aware of the issues”
raised in the notice, and it
“looks forward to an ex-
peditious resolution of
this matter.”
The notice had been
expected, but the NCAA’s
timeline for ruling on
USC’s case is uncertain.
The NCAA opened similar
cases against North Caro-
lina State, Kansas, and
Oklahoma State this year.
The university state-
ment referred to a “for-
mer coach in the men’s
basketball
program,”
which presumably is for-
mer
assistant
Tony
Bland. He was fired by
USC in January 2018. He
pleaded guilty to conspir-
acy to commit bribery
last January. As part of
his plea, Bland acknowl-
edged accepting a $4,100
bribe and received two
years’ probation.
Bland said in court he
received payments for di-
recting USC players to re-
tain the services of cer-
tain financial advisers
and business managers.
Bland and nine others
were arrested and faced
charges of fraud and brib-
ery following the FBI’s in-
vestigation into college
basketball. USC and sev-
eral other schools were
caught up in the inquiry.

VAL D’ISERE, France –

Federation

which was forecast for
