COOS BAY — The deadline to enroll for health insurance is fastapproaching, once again.

Kim Rollins, one of the many community partners who has helped people sign up, said she hopes she’s gotten to everyone by the April 30 deadline.

“My hope is we would’ve saturated them (residents),” Rollins said.

Rollins, health service coordinator for Oregon Coast Community Action, is having a Cover Oregon information and enrollment fair April 24. She and Bernarda Liggett from the Waterfall Community Health Center will answer any questions folks might have about Cover Oregon, the state’s insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act. Rollins said the fair was a last push to sign up people, although she plans to help at least through August.

New military exercises in Europe

BY LOLITA C. BALDON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The United States is considering deploying about 150 soldiers for military exercises to begin in Poland and Estonia in the next few weeks, a Western official said Saturday. The exercises would follow Russia’s buildup of forces near its border with Ukraine and its annexation last month of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said earlier this week that the U.S. is looking for ways to reassure its NATO allies of its strong commitment to collective defense. The Pentagon’s press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby, said in a statement Friday that American officials are considering a range of additional measures to bolster air, maritime and ground readiness in Europe.

Ground exercises in Poland and Estonia would last about two weeks but such exercises would continue on a rotating basis off and on over time, the official said, and other locations in Eastern Europe would be considered. The official

was not authorized to discuss the plan by name because it has not been made final and requested anonymity.

No specific date for the deployment of an Army company, which usually consists of 150 soldiers, has been set but an announcement was expected next week, the official said.

Kirby’s statement about additional measures didn’t offer specifics. “Some of those activities will be pursued bilaterally with individual NATO nations. Some will be pursued through the alliance itself,” he said.

SALEM — The future of Oregon’s ban on same-sex marriage goes before a federal judge this week, and while critics will argue that it unconstitutionally discriminates against gays and lesbians, there appears to be little support for it to be upheld.

Oregon’s attorney general, Democrat Ellen Rosenblum, says the state’s ban is legally indefensible. Her office filed a lengthy brief urging judge U.S. District Judge Michael McShane to throw it out.

There have been no legal arguments submitted for upholding the ban.

Federal judges in five states have thrown out voter-approved bans on same-sex marriage on constitutional grounds since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a portion of the federal Defense of

Marriage Act last year, and many other challenges are pending.

For Oregon’s ban, oral arguare scheduled for ments Wednesday at U.S. District Court in Eugene.

The court is deciding two cases that have been consolidated.

Portland attorneys Lake Perriguey and Lea Ann Easton filed a lawsuit in October on behalf of two women in a relationship for more than 30 years. Two months later, the American Civil Liberties Union and lawyers from two firms went to court on behalf of a lesbian couple and a gay couple.

“The ban on same-sex marriage serves no rational purpose and harms Oregon citizens,” lawyers for the state wrote. “This case presents that rare case in which there simply is no legal argument to be made in support of a state law.”

KIEV, Ukraine — Vice President Joe Biden on Monday launched a high-profile visit to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to Ukraine and push for urgent implementation of an international agreement aimed at de-escalating tensions even as violence continues.

Biden planned to meet Tuesday with government leaders who took

over after pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February following months of protests. The White House said President Barack Obama and Biden agreed he should make the two-day visit to the capital city to send a high-level signal of support for reform efforts being pushed the new government.

Biden has scheduled a series of meetings Tuesday, including with Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Oleksandr

Eighteen players from Coquille and one from Bandon attended the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation State Championship and came home with plenty of trophies and medals.

Chess players bring home loads of trophies More than 350 chess players flooded the Seaside Convention Center on April 11 to play in the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation state tournament. Coquille sent 18 players who qualified by playing in at least two qualifying tournaments.

Bandon sent one player.

State This OSCF Championships determined the single Oregon representative for the prestigious National Denker Tournament and the Barber National Tournament.

Josiah Perkins was able to win three and half games out of five to take third place in the middle school elite division. Aaron Grabinsky was favored for the Denker nomination as he is the highest rated scholastic player in Oregon, but by the fourth round he started to struggle against expert players. He

was a pawn down but managed to salvage an amazing win.

As he played his final round, crowds congregated around the TV in the foyer that was displaying the game. He was down a pawn again and struggling against two pass pawns at the edge of the board. Spectators thought they were watching the favored player about to go down in flames but Aaron was able to force a draw.

At the end of the tournament, Aaron was tied for first place with Clemon Deng of Lincoln High School with four and half wins. Aaron and Clemon battled it out with a three game Blitz playoff that ultimately failed to determine the winner.

Next, Aaron and Clemon in an battle would Armageddon playoff. Aaron was able to win two games, earning him the Denker

nomination. In blitz, Aaron Grabinsky, Josiah Perkins, and Grabinsky Joshua Vincent Thrash won first place in their divisions.

In the Bughouse competitions, where funky hats and extravagantly named teams were encouraged, winners got trophies while the losers had to eat worms — gummy worms. The Wolverines, consisting of team members Johnathan Huffman and Logan Hill, and the Turbo Crazed Purple Vikings, consisting of team members Vincent Thrash and Deckland Moore,of won first place.

In the main tournament Saturday, more Coquille chess players added to their trophy displays as Hailey Riley took third place in the high school advanced division, Joshua Grabinsky won fourth place in the elementary elite division and

Is this the end of Ideology?

On our TV talk shows and op-ed pages, and in our think tanks here, there is rising alarm over events abroad. And President Obama is widely blamed for the perceived decline in worldwide respect for the United States.

Yet,still, one hears no clamor from Middle America for “Action This Day!” to alter the perception that America is in retreat.

If a single sentence could express the seeming indifference of the silent majority of Americans to what is going on abroad, it might be the simple question: “Why is this our problem?”

If a Russian or Ukrainian flag flies over Simferopol, why should that be of such concern to us that we send U.S.warships,guns or troops? If Japan and China fight over islets 10,000 miles away, islets that few Americans can find on a map, why should we get into it?

And, truth be told, the answers of our elites are unconvincing.

One explanation for America’s turning away from these wars is that we see no vital interest in these conflicts — from Syria to Crimea, Afghanistan to Iraq, the South China Sea to the Senkaku Islands.

Moreover, the prime motivator of a half-century of sacrifice in a Cold War that cost us trillions and 90,000 dead in PAT Korea and Vietnam — the BUCHANAN belief we were leading the forces of light in a Columnist struggle against the forces of darkness that ruled the SinoSoviet Empire — is gone.

The great ideological struggle of the 20th century between totalitarianism and freedom, communism and capitalism, militant atheism and Christianity is over.

The Communist empire collapsed. Only the remnants remain in backwaters like Cuba. Marxism-Leninism as an ideology guiding great powers is a dead faith. The Communist party may rule China, but state capitalism has produced Chinese billionaires who do not wave around Little Red Books.

Lenin’s remains may lie in Red Square,and Mao’s in Tiananmen Square, but these are tourist sites, not shrines to secular saviors who remain objects of worship.

The one region where religion or ideology drives men to fight and die to create a world based on the tenets of the faith is in the Islamic world. Yet, as CIA Director Richard Helms observed, the three nations that had adopted Islamist ideology — the Afghanistan of the Taliban,the Ayatollah’s Iran and Sudan — all became failed states.

Yet, when the faith or ideology of a civilization or nation dies, something must replace it. And around the world what peoples and regimes seem to be turning to is nationalism.

Vladimir Putin has taken back Crimea and declared himself the protector of Russians in the former republics of the Soviet Union.

China’s claims against Japan in the East China Sea are rooted in 19th-century maps and 21st-century nationalism, propelled by a hatred born of Japan’s brutality in the conquest of China from 1931 to 1945.

Japan’s response is not to reassert the divinity of the emperor. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is invoking nationalism, seeking to break out from under the pacifist constitution imposed after World War II. America, too, seems to be searching for a substitute for anti-communism, to justify global commitments that seem to have less and less to do with vital national interests.

Bush I spoke of building a “New World Order.” The phrase is now an epithet. George W. Bush declared America’s mission to be “ending tyranny in our world.” The new deity to which America seemed to want to convert mankind was the golden calf of democracy.

But when democracy — one man, one vote — produced Hamas in Palestine and the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, second thoughts and sudden apostasies began.

At the end of the Cold War Francis Fukuyama predicted that we were approaching the “End of History,” where liberal democracy would prove the final form of governance, embraced by all mankind.

Yet not only in Russia and China, but also in much of Europe and the Third World, democracy seems to be not so much an end in itself for peoples, but a means to advance a greater cause.

The call of tribe and nation appears more compelling. And the Western gospel that all religions, races, nations, and tribes are equal and should be treated equally, while paid lip service, is disbelieved.

Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called democracy a bus you get off of when it reaches your stop. His stop was a moderate Islamist state that conformed to his own and his party’s principles.

Understandably, countries all over the world want America to come fight their wars.

But while that may be in their interest, is it any longer in ours?

The American imperium, the last of the great Western empires, may be about to come down with the suddenness of the other empires of the 20th century.

Letters to the Editor Dispensaries can help economy “For the health and safety of the community,” the Myrtle Point City Council has unanimously declared an “emergency moratorium” on medicinal marijuana dispensaries. To me, helping people with chronic illness get relief from pain and symptoms of chemotherapy hardly seems a threat to this community. These dispensaries are legal in the state of Oregon.

Unlike pharmacies, you cannot just wander into an OMMP dispensary. In order to enter the premises of such establishments, a patient must obtain a recommendation from a licensed Oregon medical doctor and a state of Oregon issued OMMP card. Without a valid photo ID to match your OMMP card, you are not allowed inside the building. Anyone who is 21 years of age is deemed responsible enough to enter any liquor store and purchase alcohol. Will a liquor moratorium be next?

Every community meeting I have attended in Myrtle Point has had one common thread: We need local jobs. It seems to me, that with so few dispensaries on the South Coast, this could be our golden opportunity. Maybe if we had a dispensary people would come here for their medicine, do a little shopping and go home. With all the empty storefronts in town, I would think jobs and the local economy would trump being our brother’s keeper. Needless to say, I find this moratorium fiscally irresponsible. With the poor economy looming over our heads, I feel that we should welcome any legal business for the health and safety of the community.

States need to reclaim rights Our country faces some serious problems. People out of work, southern border leaks,

currency losing value, foreign policy turning us into the United States of Dangerfield (we get no respect). The future certainly looks bleak. It does not have to be this way.

We need to recognize the historical fact that the states went sovereign when they agreed to unite under the terms of the charter developed by the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Has any state legally abandoned their sovereignty? Restore all land claimed by the federal government to the state, to be exploited by them for profit and taxes. As 50 states go to work severing federal laws and policonstitutionality, cies for burdensome taxes and regulations will be removed from business, immigrating the economy and creating hell. As the cost of living goes down and quality of life goes up, this country will enter a period of prosperity engulfed in our 233 years of history.

Read the Declaration of Independence, the clause that includes the consent of the governed moves that this is your country.

Take it back.

George Davis Broadbent

Trust our leaders on LNG decision Coos County, I am deeply concerned. I usually try not to force my concerns upon others, knowing that democracy will take its course. However, in the latest, sometimes less-thancivil debate over the proposed Community Fund proposal, I cannot, in good conscience, remain silent. Please note that I write this not as an elected official but as a somewhat worn school teacher and citizen of Coos County for 50 years who cares about our future.

First, this Community Fund has no impact on whether LNG will or will not be allowed in our county. That is a decision of the agencies of the federal government. This Community Fund is simply an effort to direct the

immense funds that would be available if the LNG project comes to fruition. The plan is to keep desperately needed funds in our community. It is merely a plan to have such a system in place if those funds do come available. If there is to be no LNG, then there is no problem, but, if LNG funds do materialize, Coos County needs to be ready.

No matter your feelings on LNG in our community, we must be ready.

My fear is that all this debate will encourage Jordan Cove (LNG) to avoid the hassle and, if they are approved to build, just pay the taxes, which will wind up in Salem. My other fear is that the three lifetime, devoted, public servants of our area, who have volunteered to head this formation, will tire of the abuse and vacate their positions. I could hardly blame them. I hear cries of “illegal” — “unethical” — but similar plans are in force in several communities in our state. I hear that there are concerns about bylaws and procedures of this new organization, but those are being examined and altered, as we speak, with much input from the public.

I realize that trust in government is at an all-time low, but can’t we in Coos County have at least some trust in our officials and each other, and work together to civilly prepare for our future.

Together we’re better.

LNG plant a natural fit First came the fear mongering, then it was about saving the those now environment; opposed to the LNG project want to claim it’s a free trade issue (how’s NAFTA working out for you?). What’s next ... the Easter Bunny?

This is yet another of many false flags and attempts to stir up discord and negativity by a few rabble rousers. Coos County has an aging and decreasing population, more and more relying on

minimum wage service and health care jobs, with some seasonal tourism, while our family-wage jobs fade away and kids leave to look for jobs.

This LNG project is a privately funded economic proposal for growth and economic stimulus.

A keystone with a vast potential for other “piggybacked” additions to bring even more jobs, investment, and a positive future for our kids and our area.

It will provide money for our schools as well as our fire and our law enforcement agencies.

A few folks, many new to the area, are attempting to block yet another opportunity for growth, or at least stability, attending meetings while the rest of us are busy working and providing for our families. They like to claim “this one isn’t for us; something better will come along.” Yet every proposal never seems to meet their standards and has been shot down or driven away.

The same handful of selfappointed and imported “busy-bodies” out to “save us from ourselves” can’t seem to get out of the way of progress.

Kudos for taking part in the process, but how about thinking beyond your own selfish interests, wants and fears.

This LNG proposal is fully, if not overly, regulated by a wide range of government acronyms, each of which is staffed by experts far more knowledgeable and experienced than someone spending a few minutes on the Internet. We have the best natural port between San Francisco and Seattle. Our bay has a long history of industrial use and a record of providing jobs. With so many America companies, like Caterpillar, sending money overseas, isn’t it time we did something positive for this area that will help bring some of that, and other “foreign” money, home?

Exporting our natural resources as part of the global economy is a natural fit and if we can hire a few more workers along the way, just say yes!

The fallacy of climate change “The heavens reek, the waters below are foul ... we are in a crisis of survival.” That’s how Walter Cronkite and CBS hyped the first Earth Day,back in 1970.Somehow we’ve survived since then, and most of life got better, although I never hear that from the worrywarts.

Of course, some things got better because of government: We passed environmental rules that got most of the filth out of the air and sewage out of lakes and rivers.

Great — but now we’re told that we’re in big trouble because greenhouse gases cause global warming. I mean, climate change.

A few years back,we were going to be killed by global cooling, overpopulation, pesticide residues, West Nile virus, bird flu, Y2K, cellphone radiation, mad cow disease, etc. Now it’s global warming.

The recent hype about global warming comes from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Most of its members are serious scientists.

But reporters don’t realize that those scientists, like bird flu specialists, have every incentive to

hype the risk. If their computer models (which so far have been wrong) predict disaster, they get attention and money. If they say, “I’m not sure,” they JOHN get nothing.

Also, the STOSSEL IPCC is not just Columnist a panel of scientists. It’s an intergovernmental panel. It’s a bureaucracy controlled by the sort of people who once ran for student council and are “exhilarated by the prospect of putting the thumb of the federal government on the scale.”

Actually, that wasn’t a quote from a global warming alarmist.

It’s from anti-marijuana alarmist and former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joe Califano. But it’s the same crisis mindset. Scientists who disagree, who are reluctant to put their thumbs on the government scale, don’t feel welcome in the IPCC. It’s possible climate change may become a problem. But even

if industrialization brings warming, we’ve got more important problems. On my TV show last week, statistician Bjorn Lomborg points out that “air pollution kills 4.3 million people each year ... We need to get a sense of priority.”

That deadly air pollution happens because, to keep warm, poor people burn dung in their huts.

Yet, time and again, environmentalists oppose the energy production most likely to make the world cleaner and safer.

Instead, they persuade politicians to spend billions of your dollars on symbolism like “renewable” energy.

“The amazing number that most people haven’t heard is, if you take all the solar panels and all the wind turbines in the world,” says Lomborg, “they have (eliminated) less CO2 than what U.S. fracking (cracking rocks below ground to extract oil and natural gas) managed to do.”

That progress occurred despite opposition from environmentalists — and even bans in places like my stupid state, New York, where activists worry fracking will cause earthquakes or poison the water.

Do environmentalists even care about measuring costs instead of just assuming benefits? We spend $7 billion to subsidize electric cars. Even if America reached the president’s absurd 2015 goal of “a million electric cars on the road” (we won’t get close), how much would it delay warming of the Earth?

“One hour,” says Lomborg.

“This is a symbolic act.”

Symbolic. Environmentalism is now more religion than science.

While environmentalists lament that our time is running out, environmental indicators get better, technological improvements reduce carbon dioxide, water gets cleaner for millions, and human life expectancy goes up.

This Earth Day, instead of attacking those who sell fossil fuels, I will applaud them for overcoming constant environmental hysteria — while providing affordable energy that will allow us to fight poverty, which is the real threat to the people of the world.

State Aging mom who wants to die may find relief from doctor DEAR ABBY: My 83-yearold mother has decided she wants to die. She says she’s miserable, but I think she’s causing her own misery. She has medications to DEAR address her physical ailments — none of which are critical. My siblings live in other states. Mom feels it’s a “ burden�

JEANNE for them to PHILLIPS travel to see her, and she refuses to travel.

Mom is in assisted living and is now refusing to bathe, trying not to eat, and doesn’t want to talk to anyone or have visitors. She’s obviously depressed, but refuses counseling. If she continues being uncooperative, I’m afraid she’ll have to go to a nursing home where they might let her starve herself to death.

One sister says I should force Mom to do fun things, but I don’t know what she wants. We used to go out to eat, but she no longer wants to do that. I have tried to honor Mom’s wishes, but I’m at a loss about what to do for her. Do you have any suggestions? — ALMOST AT WITS’ END DEAR ALMOST: I have one. You and your siblings should have your mother evaluated by a geriatrician IMMEDIATELY. It’s apparent that she is depressed, but the question is whether she also has something physically wrong with her that is affecting her mental state. Then let the doctor be your guide.

DEAR ABBY: I dated my ex for six years, but we broke up recently. The problem is, we signed a lease on our apartment that won’t be up until next year. He still lives here, and I don’t have the heart to kick him out. Financially, our living together makes sense, and I’d rather live with him than with a stranger.

Abby, this living arrangement has made it tough to get over him. Our breakup was amicable — somewhat — and we remain civil to each other.

I have no desire to get back together with him. I just find it hard because I’m not sure how to survive this weird situation I’m in. Is it a good idea to keep living together? — REMAINING CIVIL IN CANADA DEAR REMAINING CIVIL: It depends upon how high your tolerance is for pain. If seeing your ex with others hurts to the extent that you shed tears on your pillow, or obsess about who he’s with and where he’s going, then it’s not a good idea. However, if the situation can’t be changed, then it’s important that you fill your time with activities and opportunities that allow you to meet new people and make new friends.

DEAR ABBY: My new husband’s family informed him they were coming to visit us for seven to 10 days. This was eight relatives, and I was not asked whether this was convenient or not. They were so noisy that our neighbors finally asked, “When are they leaving?�

How can I prevent this from happening again in the future without offending anyone? My husband said after they had left, ‘You don’t handle chaos and confusion well, do you?� — NEEDS TO BE CONSULTED IN GEORGIA DEAR NEEDS TO BE CONSULTED: Revisit the question your husband asked you. And when you do, tell him the answer is not only do you NOT handle chaos, confusion and eight surprise houseguests well, neither do your neighbors. Then set some boundaries for the next time they say they are coming. His first response should always be, “I’ll check with my wife to see if it’s convenient.�

Controlled burns planned for Central Ore. forests BEND (AP) — Fire managers at the Willamette and Deschutes national forests still intend to ignite prescribed fires in designated wilderness areas, but they won’t be doing it as a joint effort as they planned.

Prescribed fires in wilderness, such as in the Mount Washington and Three Sisters wilderness areas, would represent a departure from normal U.S. Forest Service practices of leaving these areas untouched.

Other projects in the Deschutes forest have taken precedence the past year, in particular reviewing a permit renewal for a new city of Bend drinking water pipeline and finalizing plans for forest thinning just west of town, said Rod Bonacker, special projects coordinator for the Deschutes National Forest. “We have just so much planning energy and those were high priority,� he said.

The Willamette has had delays itself brought by worker turnover and by the planning for prescribed wilderness fires taking longer than expected, said Matt Peterson, recreation program manager for the Willamette National Forest. In March 2013

Willamette officials said the burns could be in fall 2013. Now they are targeting this fall.

Prescribed fire is the intentional ignition of fire in a forest when weather conditions are right for a low-intensity fire that creeps through the undergrowth.The goal is to change the complexion of the forest and slow the spread and intensity of wildfire.

They are also known as controlled burns and are a regular occurrence in Central Oregon during spring and fall.

The Deschutes should be sending out a scoping letter for its prescribed wilderness fires near the end of May, doing analysis over the summer and putting out draft environmental documents in the fall, Bonacker said. The burning itself likely wouldn’t be until next year.

Under the plans, helicopters would buzz the woods, dropping pingpong ball-like spheres that burst into flames. Or, the copters would swing a large aerial drip torch, similar to the small drip torches carried by firefighters to start fire on the ground.

The two forests have been working on plans to light prescribed fires in wilderness areas on both sides of the

Cascades since about 2011. The Willamette plans to start with woods in and just outside the Mount Washington Wilderness Area, southwest of Sisters, and the Deschutes plans to start in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area, along the Cascade Lakes Highway west of Bend.

The Willamette project would encompass 6,486 acres — 5,714 within the wilderness area and 772 outside of it — Peterson said. The number of acres to be burned on the Deschutes is still being determined, Bonacker said, and the map of where the fires would be is still being drawn.

Peterson said the prescribed fire in the Mount Washington Wilderness would occur in fall shortly before rain or snowfall, a fire “season ending event.� He emphasized there would be no bulldozers crawling through or firefighters digging fire lines in the wilderness as part of the prescribed burns.

The Forest Service has faced criticism from some conservation groups for prescribed fires in wilderness areas, which have been lit in other parts of the country, particularly from Montana-based Wilderness Watch.

Crater Lake’s annual snowfall gradually declining S TATE D I G E S T

Rules leave pot test labs with little oversight

SALEM (AP) — You wouldn’t know it from appearances, but Oregon’s only national park has been losing snow.

Crater Lake averaged 460 inches of snow each year between 2000 and 2013.

Though that’s a lot of powder, it’s much less than what the park got in the 1930s and 1940s — when the average was more than 600 inches per year.

Crater Lake park ranger Dave Grimes tells the Statesman Journal newspaper that the decline has been very gradual.

Snowmelt provides water for Crater Lake and seasonal water to the Rogue and Klamath basins for irrigation, fish, plants and wildlife.

BY CHAD GARLAND The Associated Press

SALEM — The Oregon Legislature’s vote last year to regulate medical marijuana shops created new business opportunities for another kind of pot enterprise — marijuana testing — but leaves it virtually unregulated.

The state’s dispensary law and the rules that implement it require pot stores to register with the state and to test marijuana for contaminants and potency before putting it on their shelves.

But the law doesn’t require the labs that run those tests to be licensed or regulated by the state. And no state agency oversees their operations to ensure they actually run the tests they say they do. “We don’t have stories of people being hurt or anything bad happening,� said Geoff Sugerman, a medical marijuana consultant who helped draft the state’s rules, adding that most of Oregon’s pot tests safe.

Even so, some pot advocates and dispensary owners say the law needs to change to better protect patients, dispensaries and even the testing facilities themselves.

Members of the testing industry are also concerned that labs using invalid methods could put people at risk and damage the credibility of marijuana testing in general.

6 sea lions killed to Vials containing extracted medical marijuana are prepared for testing protect salmon The Associated Press

PORTLAND (AP) — Six at Sunrise Analytical lab in Wilsonville. Oregon’s move last year to regulate medical marijuana shops created requirements that open new California sea lions have business opportunities for marijuana testing, with testing labs that are been euthanized to protect endangered salmon crossing virtual unregulated.

For many types of laboratories, government agencies and independent organizations enforce federal or state standards such as personnel training qualifications, equipment requirements, certifications and testing methods.

However, when it comes to medical marijuana testing labs, none of those standards exist. Members of the committee that drafted the state’s dispensary rules say they weren’t given the authority to create them.

The law requires dispensaries to screen pot for pesticides, mold and fungus to ensure it is safe for patients, many of whom may have compromised immune systems. Dispensary owners must keep a signed lab report on file showing the results, and that’s subject to inspection at least once a year. But the state does not monitor the tests or lab procedures.

State officials don’t even know how many test labs are in the state, because they are not licensed.

Brewers fear proposed FDA rule would spike costs PORTLAND (AP) — Northwest beer brewers have joined a national outcry over a proposed rule from the Food and Drug Administration which they say would make it prohibitively expensive for them to recycle spent grain by providing it to dairy farmers.

The FDA is trying to tighten the country’s food safety network. The proposal would classify companies that distribute spent grain to farms as animal feed manufacturers, imposing new sanitation requirements and possibly forcing them to dry and package the material before distribution, The Oregonian reported.

“This proposed regulation would help prevent foodborne illness in both animals and people,� the agency said in a statement last month.

But brewers say the new requirements could cost millions and force them to raise beer prices. “That would be cost prohibitive,� said Scott Mennen, vice president of brewery at Widmer operations in brewery Brothers Portland. “Most brewers would have to put this material in a landfill.�

For centuries, brewers have provided spent grain to dairy farmers, giving the farmers a low-cost or free

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Jessica Sall says the six were among some 20 sea lions that have been hanging around the dam as Chinook salmon start their spawning run.

Officials promote increase in prison visits PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon prison officials say they’ve been on a push the past few years to increase the number of visits that prisoners get.

They say they’ve been influenced by a 2011 Minnesota study that found inmates who get visits from family and clergy members are much less likely to be among the recidivists — those who break the law again and return to prison.

Among the steps taken are increased visiting hours, special events and video conferencing facilities.

The Department of Corrections doesn’t have data yet on the impact of the work. But officials tell The Oregonian that when the push started, about 60 percent of inmates never got a visit. Now, about 60 percent of inmates are getting visits.

The state has about 14,000 prisoners.

ALBANY (AP) — The Linn County sheriff’s office says a man whose body was found Sunday in the Willamette River at Albany had been in the water for some time.

Deputies are checking missing person reports and asking for help from anyone who may have information about the man’s identity.

The group contends the fires would go against the spirit of the Wilderness Act of 1964 by manipulating the wilderness ecosystem.

But the fires also have their supporters.

George Wuerthner, the Bend author of the 2006 book “Wildfire: A Century of Failed Forest Policy,� said he thinks it is great to get more fire on the land, particularly prescribed fires.

He supports the plans by the Willamette and the Deschutes to light prescribed fires in wilderness areas. “As long as it is done without a lot of disturbance on the ground,� he said.

The plans also have the backing of Rich Fairbanks, a wildfire expert in Southern Oregon who served as a fire planner on the Willamette National Forest from 1989 to 2003. “We really do need to put fire back into these forests,� he said.

After reviewing the initial plans by the Willamette National Forest, he said his only concern is how much helicopters would be used in lighting the fires. He said fire starting could be done in some places by people on the ground and doing so would provide late-season work for firefighters.

So, you’re getting a tax refund!

Discovering that you’ll be getting a tax refund is certainly not the worst news you’ve had in your life. In fact, it’s easy to see a tax refund as some kind of gift from the universe. But h e re ’s t h e EVERYDAY truth: CHEAPSKATE It’s part o f yo u r p a y check that you should h a v e b e e n getting all along.

P l a n Mary now for Hunt h o w you’ll manage it or your refund could evaporate into thin air. You have options. Choose well.

1. Tre at i t like a pa y check. Give away 10 percent, save 10 percent and put 80 percent into your household account.

2 . S t a s h t h e w ho le t hi n g .

Your Contingency Fund or Freedom Account — or both — are the likeliest candidates.

3 . O p e n a n I R A . Any amount will compound nicely. See your bank.

4 . I n v e s t . Rich people start out as poor people. If this is money you will not need for at least 10 years, put it to work in the stock market.

5. Reduce credit card balance. You can send any amount any time to your credit card account. Stop using that card, and keep paying extra until it's at $0.

6 . Pr e p a y t h e m o r t g a g e .

When you make your next regular mortgage payment, write a second check in the amount of your refund and it “ P r i n c i pa l m a rk Prepayment Only.” Use the calculators at debtproofliving.com to see just how this will affect your payback time and how much interest you won’t have to pay.

7. Replace a monster. It might be time to replace that e n e rg y- g u z z l i n g refrigerator or furnace.

8 . Pu m p i t i n t o y o u r c a r .

You will get more years out of your car if you perform routine maintenance and keep it in tip-top shape.

Maybe now is the time to do some of those costlier tasks such as servicing the transmission.

9. Build a stockpile. Set this money aside to be used weekly at the grocery store to stock up on “Best Deals.”

These are items on sale for which you have a coupon.

They’ll be really cheap, so your refund will go a long way.

10. Invest in you.

Perhaps it’s time to take a personal inventory of your health and wellbeing. What do you need? A trip to the dentist, a couple of hours with a good therapist, a day at the spa? If that renews your joy, it might be the best money you’ve ever spent.

Nation and World Ferry crew actions ‘murderous’ JINDO, South Korea (AP) — South Korean President Park Geun-hye said Monday that the captain and some crew members of the sunken ferry committed “unforgivable, murderous acts” in the disaster, which left more than 300 people dead or missing.

The captain initially told passengers to stay in their rooms and waited more than half an hour to issue an evacuation order as the ferry Sewol sank Wednesday. By then the ship had tilted so much that many of the roughly 240 people missing are believed to be trapped inside.

At a Cabinet briefing, Park said the captain and crew “told the passengers to stay put but they themselves became the first to escape, after deserting the passengers.”

“Legally and ethically,” she said, “this is an unimaginable act.”

The captain and two crew members have been arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need, and prosecutors said Monday that another four crew members have been detained. Senior prosecutor Ahn Sang-don said prosecutors would decide within 48 hours whether ask a court for arrest warrants for the four — two first mates, a second mate and a chief engineer.

Video showed that captain Lee Joon-seok, 68, was among the first people rescued. Some of his crew said he had been hurt, but a doctor who treated him said he had no fracture and only light injuries.

Lee spoke of “pain in the left rib and in the back, but that was it,” Jang Ki-joon, director of the orthopedic of Jindo department Hankook University. Jang said he did not realize Lee was the captain until after he treated him.

So far 64 bodies have been recovered, and about 240 people remain missing.

About 225 of the missing and dead are students from a single high school near Seoul who were on their way to the southern tourist island of Jeju.

Boston Police officers on bicycles ride across the finish line before the 118th Boston Marathon on Monday.

Boston Marathon begins under very tight security BOSTON (AP) — The 118th running of the Boston Marathon began under heavy security Monday morning, a year after the bombings near the race’s finish line that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.

A moment of silence was observed and “America the Beautiful” was played over a loudspeaker before the race began for mobility-impaired marathoners. The elite men and women runners were starting later in the morning.

Despite heightened security, the mood was festive at the finish line on Boylston Street.

Spontaneous applause broke out as a group of Boston police officers walked near the site of last year’s twin bombing and children danced as the Rolling Stones’ song “Start Me Up” blared over the loudspeakers.

A total of 35,755 athletes entered the race — the second-largest field in its history, many of them coming to show support for the event and the city that was shocked by the attack on its signature sporting event.

“I can’t imagine the number of emotions that are going to be there,” said Katie O’Donnell, who was running the marathon last year and made it 25 1/2 miles before she was stopped less than a mile from the finish line when the bombs exploded. “I think I’m going to start cry-

ing at the starting line and I’m not sure I’ll stop until I cross the finish line.”

The most obvious change for this edition of the world’s oldest annual marathon was the heavy security presence.

State and local police officers were everywhere, even on the rooftops of some buildings.

Helicopters circled above and bomb-sniffing dogs checked through trash cans.

Yet for all the security, the atmosphere was calm and friendly.

“I think everybody is being very pleasant,” said Jean Bertschman, a Hopkinton resident who comes to watch the start of the marathon most years and had never seen anything close to this level of security.

“I think it’s going to be a very good race.”

Buses bear∆ing the mesStrong” “Boston sage dropped off runners. A banner on one building read: “You are Boston Strong. You Earned This.”

Spectators went through tight security checkpoints before being allowed near Hopkinton Common.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said officials were trying to keep a traditional family feel to the marathon while maintaining tight security.

As he started the mobility-impaired race, Patrick said he encountered a woman who had suffered a

brain injury in last year’s attack but was determined to run this year.

“Just before we set off the runners, she burst into tears,” the governor said.

Runners attending the event will have to use clear plastic bags for their belongings, and fans hoping to watch near the finish line are encouraged to leave strollers and backpacks behind. More than 100 cameras have been installed along the route in Boston, and 50 or so “observation points” will be set up around the finish line “to monitor the crowd,” the Boston Athletic Association said.

Race organizers expanded the field from its recent cap of 27,000 to make room for more than 5,000 runners who were still on the course last year at the time of the explosions, for friends and relatives of the victims and for those who made the case that they were “profoundly impacted” by the attack.

Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia and Kenya’s Rita Jeptoo, who crossed the finish line on Boylston Street about three hours before the explosions, will return to defend their championships.

Desisa returned to Boston last fall to donate his first-place medal to the city as a gesture of support.

Jeptoo, who also won the race in 2006, said she is hoping for a third victory — and one she can enjoy.

HONOLULU (AP) — Officials say a 16-year-old boy is “lucky to be alive” and unharmed after flying from California to Hawaii stowed away in a plane’s wheel well, surviving cold temperatures at 38,000 feet and a lack of oxygen.

“Doesn’t even remember the flight,” FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu told The Associated Press on Sunday night. “It’s amazing he survived that.”

The boy was questioned by the FBI after being discovered on the tarmac at the Maui airport Sunday morning with no identification, Simon said.

“Kid’s lucky to be alive,” Simon said.

Most agree with scientists on smoking WASHINGTON (AP) — Few Americans question that smoking causes cancer. But they express bigger doubts as concepts that scientists consider to be truths get further from our own experiences and the present time,an Associated Press-GfK poll found.

Americans have more skepticism than confidence in global warming, the age of the Earth and evolution and have the most trouble believing a Big Bang created the universe 13.8 billion years ago.

Rather than quizzing scientific knowledge, the survey asked people to rate their confidence in several statements about science and medicine.

Cuba’s housing deficit endures reforms HAVANA (AP) — The residents of 308 Oquendo Street were jolted awake in the middle of the night by violent shaking and a noise that they likened to a freight train, or an exploding bomb.

Part of their building’s seventh floor had collapsed into the interior patio, heavily damaging apartments on the floors below. No one died, but the 120 families living in the building were left homeless.

Despite reforms in recent years to address the island’s housing problem, such building collapses remain common in Cuba, where decades of neglect and a dearth of new home construction have left untold thousands of islanders living in crowded structures at risk of suddenly falling down.

Sherpas consider boycott after Everest avalanche KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Buddhist monks cremated the remains of Sherpa guides who were buried in the deadliest avalanche to hit Mount Everest, a disaster that has prompted calls for a climbing boycott by Nepal’s ethnic Sherpa community.

Nepal’s government said late Monday it would consider the Sherpa’s demands for more insurance money, more financial aid for the families of the victims, the formation of a relief fund and regulations that would ensure climbers’ rights. A committee formed with guides, The Associated Press rescuers and others will make Relatives of Nepalese climbers killed in an avalanche on Mount Everest, wait for the funeral procession to its recommendations begin in Katmandu, Nepal, on Monday.

“Right now, I can’t even the streets of Nepal’s capital, A total Sherpa boycott At least 13 Sherpas were think of going back to the Katmandu, on Monday as the could critically disrupt the killed when a block of ice tore mountain,” said Tashi Dorje, bodies of six of the victims Everest climbing season, loose from the mountain and whose cousin was killed. “We were driven in open trucks which is key to the livelihood triggered a cascade that have not just lost our family decorated with Buddhist flags. of thousands of Nepali ripped through teams of members, but it is a loss for During the cremation cerguides and porters.

souls to be released as the bodies were covered in pine branches. A daughter of one of the climbers fainted and was taken to the hospital.

While the work on Everest is dangerous, it has also become the most sought-after work for many Sherpas. A top highaltitude guide can earn $6,000 in a three-month climbing season, nearly 10 times Nepal’s $700 average annual salary.

The avalanche came just as climbing was to begin in earnest, with mountaineers set to begin moving above base camp and slowly acclimatizing to the altitude on the world’s highest mountain. Most attempts to reach the 8,850-meter (29,035foot) summit occur in mid-May, when weather is at its most favorable.

Since the avalanche, the Sherpas have expressed anger that there has not been a bigger response from Nepal’s government, which profits from the permit fees charged to the climbing expeditions.

Sub search for missing jet two-thirds complete PERTH, Australia (AP) — As the search continued off the coast of Australia for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet on Monday, the airline announced another plane bound for India was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its tires burst on takeoff.

All 159 passengers and seven crew members arrived safely back in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, about 2 a.m. on Monday, around four hours after the plane took off for Bangalore, India. The incident brought additional drama to an airline already under immense pressure for answers from the public and the fami-

lies of those missing from Flight 370, more than six weeks after it departed the same airport.

Meanwhile, a robotic submarine continued scouring a desolate patch of silt-covered seafloor in the Indian Ocean for any trace of the missing plane. The unmanned sub has spent nearly a week searching for the plane’s black boxes and has covered about twothirds of its focused search area. But it has yet to uncover any clues that could shed light on the plane’s mysterious disappearance.

The U.S. Navy’s Bluefin 21 has made eight trips below the surface to scan the seabed

far off the coast of western Australia, journeying beyond its recommended depth of 2.8 miles. Its search area forms a 6-mile radius around the location of an underwater signal that was believed to have come from the aircraft’s black boxes. The search coordination center said the sonar scan of the seafloor in that area was expected to be completed sometime this week.

Defense Malaysian Hishammuddin Minister Hussein has stressed the importance of the weekend’s submarine missions, but added that even if no debris was recovered, the scope of the search may be broadened

or other assets may be used.

The search for debris on the ocean surface also continued Monday,with up to 10 military aircraft and 11 ships combing a 19,000 square mile area, about 1,000 miles northwest of Perth, the search coordination center said. A cyclone was swirling over the ocean northwest of the search area, and was expected to bring increasing rain and winds to the northern section of the search zone later Monday.

The search coordination center has said the hunt for floating debris will continue through at least Tuesday.

Radar and satellite data show the jet veered far off

course March 8 for unknown reasons and would have run out of fuel in the remote section of ocean where the search has been focused. Not one piece of debris has been recovered since the massive multinational hunt began.

There have been numerous leads, but all have turned out to be false. The most promising development came when four underwater signals were detected April 5 and 8. The sounds were consistent with pings that would have been emanating from the plane’s flight data and cockpit recorders’ beacons before their batteries died.

NEWS D I G E S T Fuels from corn waste not better than gas WASHINGTON (AP) — Biofuels made from the leftovers of harvested corn plants are worse than gasoline for global warming in the short term, a study shows, challenging the Obama administration’s conclusions that they are a much cleaner oil alternative and will help combat climate change.

A $500,000 study paid for by the federal government and released Sunday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Climate Change concludes that biofuels made with corn residue release 7 percent more greenhouse gases in the early years compared with conventional gasoline.

While biofuels are better in the long run, the study says they won’t meet a standard set in a 2007 energy law to qualify as renewable fuel.

John Paul’s legacy stained by scandal VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John Paul II is rightly credited with having helped bring down communism, of inspiring a new generation of Catholics with a globe-trotting papacy and of explaining church teaching on a range of hot-button issues as Christianity entered its third millennium.

But the sexual abuse scandal that festered under his watch remains a stain on his legacy.

John Paul and his top advisers failed to grasp the severity of the abuse problem until very late in his 26-year papacy, even though U.S. bishops had been petitioning the Holy See since the late-1980s for a faster way to defrock pedophile priests.

The experience of John Paul in Poland under communist and Nazi rule, where innocent priests were often discredited by trumped-up accusations, is believed to have influenced his general defensiveness of the clergy.

The exodus of clergy after the turbulent 1960s similarly made him want to hold onto the priests he still had.

Elephants endangered by land grabs WASHINGTON (AP) — Political and military elites are seizing protected areas in one of Africa’s last bastions for elephants, putting broad swaths of Zimbabwe at risk of becoming fronts for ivory poaching, according to a nonprofit research group’s report that examines government collusion in wildlife trafficking.

Zimbabwe has maintained robust elephant populations compared with other countries on the continent. But Zimbabwe’s economic decline has led Zimbabweans with ties to President Robert Mugabe’s ruling party to find new methods of making money. The report, released Monday, says they may be turning to elephants’ highly valued ivory tusks.

Zimbabwe’s embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

Born Free USA, an animal advocacy group, commissioned the report from Washington-based C4ADS to better understand the role organized crime and corrupt government officials play in ivory trafficking across Africa, said Adam Roberts, Born Free USA’s chief executive officer.

Wildlife trafficking long has been viewed as a conservation issue, but it has exploded into an illicit global economy monopolized by mafia-like syndicates and enabled by high-level bureaucrats and powerful business interests. The report describes a toxic combination of conflict, crime and failures of governance throughout Africa that threatens to wipe out the continent’s dwindling elephant herds.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry quickly blamed militant Ukrainian nationalists in Sunday’s attack. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Kiev of “a crude violation of the agreements reached in Geneva” to ease tensions.

The Ukrainian Security Service, however, said the attack was staged by provocateurs from outside the country.

Biden plans to warn Russia of mounting costs if it doesn’t follow through on its commitments. The U.S. and its allies have prepared new sanctions on wealthy in President Russians Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, as well on the entities they run, and administration officials have said they will determine in the coming days

whether Russia is making progress or should face the further penalties.

Pro-Russian armed groups that have seized police stations and other government buildings in eastern Ukraine said they wouldn’t vacate unless the country’s acting government resigned. The new government insists it is legitimate, has no plans to resign and is working on constitutional reforms that will give eastern regions a greater voice in self-governance.

The Obama administration official told reporters that the assistance Biden plans to announce includes technical expertise to take steps including increasing production in their own fields and boost energy efficiency to reduce reliance on oil imports from Russia.

The U.S. Constitution’s equal protection clause prohibits the government from treating a group of people differently from others unless there’s sufficient justification that furthers a legitimate public interest. In this case, much of the legal analysis surrounds how high the bar should be for the government to prove it has an interest in treating gays and lesbians differently with respect to marriage.

Even so, both the samesex couples bringing the suit and the state argue that the marriage ban is unconstitutional under any standard of review because it fails to advance any legitimate government interest.

Voters added a ban on gay marriage in 2004 after Multnomah County issued marriage licenses to samesex couples.

In other states where gay marriage bans have been challenged, defenders have argued that marriage is intended to create a stable family unit from relationships that can result in procreation. They say the

government has an interest in promoting a safe and nurturing home for children.

Attorneys opposing the Oregon law reject those arguments, saying the state has never required procreation as a condition of marriage and allows marriages of heterosexual couples that cannot have children. Oregon allows same-sex couples to adopt children, they say, and parents of the same gender can provide a loving home for children.

“There is no evidence or even rational speculation that permitting same-sex couples to marry will in any way reduce the desire of opposite-sex couples to marry and create stable families,” lawyers for the state wrote in a brief signed by Sheila Potter, deputy chief trial counsel at the Oregon Department of Justice.

Teresa Harke, a spokeswoman for Oregon Family Council, which opposes same-sex marriage, said the organization did not seek to get involved in the Oregon case or file a legal analysis because it does not have legal standing.

Proponents of overturning Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban say they’ve collected enough signatures to force a statewide vote on the issue.

They say they’ll discard them, however, and drop

their campaign if the court rules in their favor by May 23.

Since both sides of the case essentially agree, an appeal would be unlikely if they win at the lower court.

Gay rights advocates will focus instead on defeating a separate ballot measure that would allow business owners to refuse to participate in same-sex weddings.

“It’s hard to justify a symbolic victory when we have to stop a real threat,” said Peter Zuckerman, a spokesman for Oregon United for Marriage, the pro-gay marriage campaign group.

McShane is Oregon’s federal judge, newest appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed last year by the Senate. He was previously a judge for Multnomah County Circuit Court.

Since late last year, federal judges have struck down as unconstitutional the voterapproved bans on same-sex marriage in five states: Utah, Oklahoma, Michigan, Texas and Virginia. In three other states — Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee — federal judges have ordered the recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages.

Litigation of this nature is underway in about 20 other states.

The case is known as Geiger v. Kitzhaber.

military-to-military cooperation, including special operations forces, air forces and additional military exercises and training, as part of their discussion of closer defense ties.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Siemoniak said the decision to deploy U.S. ground forces to Poland had been made on a political level and that details were being worked out, the news-

paper reported.

“The idea until recently was that there were no more threats in Europe and no need for a U.S. presence in Europe any more,” Siemoniak said, speaking through an interpreter during a visit Friday to the newspaper. “Events show that what is needed is a repivot, and that Europe was safe and secure because America was in Europe.”

Marshfield teammates Isabel Groth, left, and Adryana Chavez are side by side during their heat in the 100-meter hurdles race Saturday during the Prefontaine Rotary Invitational.They finished first and second in the event.

Big marks highlight Prefontaine Rotary meet THE WORLD COOS BAY — The annual Prefontaine Rotary Invitational provided a couple of meet records and several new state bests as athletes form 26 schools competed at Marshfield High School on Saturday.

One of the meet records came from one of the most impressive athletes, Newport’s Rachel Vinjamuri, who broke former Marshfield standout Leah Worthen’s mark in the 200 meters with her time of 25.72 seconds.

Vinjamuri also won the 100 (12.66) and 400 (58.79) and came back from 30 meters behind to anchor Newport to victory in the 4x400 relay on the way to being named the meet’s outstanding female runner.

The other record was by Marshfield’s Adryana Chavez in the triple jump, where her leap of 36 feet, 11.25 inches beat the meet record of Leah Worthen’s sister, Ali. Chavez was the outstanding jumper for girls.

Personal bests were a common theme in the horizontal jumps, where North Bend’s Briana Cole had a new best of 16 feet to win the long jump and North Bend’s Drew

Matthews improved to 20-11.75 to win the long jump and then finished second to teammate Drae Stark in the triple jump when both leaped beyond 41 feet for the first time. Matthews was the boys outstanding jumper.

Coquille’s Brandon Bowen didn’t have a personal best, but did come within half an inch of hitting the 50-foot mark for the second time while winning the shot put, and then posted a new best 136-3 while finishing second to Newport’s Tyson Kaminski in the discus. Bowen was the boys outstanding thrower.

North Bend’s Matt Woods (11.41) and Wyatt Cunningham (23.13) won the 100 and 200, respectively, and helped the Bulldogs’ 4x100 relay team to a win in a blazing 43.67. Matthews and Luke Lucero filled out the relay.

Marshfield’s girls also posted a fast sprint relay time with the group of Isabel Groth, Chavez, Hailee Woolsey and Brittany Cook crossing the line in 50.84.

The smallest schools also were well-represented as Pacific’s Cole Kreutzer won the 400 (51.93) and SEE PRE | B2

The Southwestern Oregon Community College baseball team bounced back from a pair of losses at the hands of visiting Chemeketa on Friday to sweep the Storm on Saturday.

Riley Phillips pitched a complete game as the Lakers won the opener 6-2.

Charlie Walker had a double and triple and drove in two runs in the win. Taylor Raff and Cedric Zumwalt also had two hits each.

Phillips, meanwhile, allowed nine hits, but gave up just one walk. He had two strikeouts.

The Lakers won the nightcap 32.

Garrett Rudy drove in the winning run with a single to center in the sixth inning and Hunter Combs picked up the save in the seventh.

With the wins, the Lakers improved to 11-5, essentially tied with Lane (10-4) for first place in the NWAACC South Region.

Clark is just behind the two leaders at 9-6.

SWOCC fell behind 2-0 in the first inning of the nightcap Saturday, but didn’t allow any more runs.

Cedric Zumwalt and Jordan Farley each had two hits and scored a run.

Farley doubled to lead off the sixth inning, but Tyler Uchiyama scored the winning run as a pinch runner.

with 17 seconds left. Joel Freeland made one of two free throws seconds later to give the Blazers the win in their first trip to the postseason since 2011.

Lillard said seeing the intensity of Aldridge helped him raise his level of play.

“As far as the passion I don’t think I’ve ever seen him like that,” Lillard said. “I saw how bad he wanted to win the game. When you’ve got your best player playing like that it fires you up.”

Game 2 is Wednesday night in Houston.

Bandon’s softball team rallied to edge Illinois Valley 9-8 in the first game of a doubleheader at Bandon. The Cougars shut out the Tigers 8-0 in the nightcap.

Bandon trailed 8-7 going to the bottom of the seventh in the opener.

Cheyenne Young started the inning with a double and Carissa Guarino followed with a single, moving Young to third. Guarino stole second and then Bandon got back-to-back singles by Ally Richert and Savannah Williams to win the game.

Richert finished with three hits for the Tigers, while Young, Guarino and Williams had two each.

Bandon coach Rick Hinojosa said Young actually pitched better in the second game, when she gave up just five hits and three walks.

But the Tigers committed five errors and struggled at the plate with only five hits, two of them by Young.

Red Devils sweep Reedsport: Lowell beat the Braves 12-9 and 15-11 in a pair of games that were moved to Lowell because of morning rains in Reedsport.

Lowell capitalized on four Reedsport errors in the first game.

Blazers rally to beat Rockets in OT Portland steals opener in playoff series ■

HOUSTON (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge was playing on another level Sunday night and had the emotional intensity to match the best performance of his career.

Portland’s star was hungry after missing the playoffs the last two seasons and wanted to show his teammates that getting to the postseason was simply not enough.

Aldridge scored a career-high and franchise playoff-record 46

points and Damian Lillard added 31, including the go-ahead free throws in overtime, to lift the Trail Blazers to a 122-120 victory over the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

“I’ve been here and I’ve went through this process and I understand it and I just think tonight was one of those nights,” Aldridge said.

Aldridge fouled out with about a minute left in overtime and Lillard, who was making his playoff debut, took over. He scored the next five points for Portland and put the Trail Blazers on top by one point with a pair of free throws

Sports American wins the Boston Marathon THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — American Meb Keflezighi has won the Boston Marathon, a year after a bombing at the finish line left three dead and more than 260 people injured.

Keflezighi is a former New York City Marathon champion and Olympic medalist.

He ran the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to the finish on Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay on Monday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds.

Keflezighi held off Wilson Chebet of Kenya who finished 11 seconds behind. The 38-year-old from San Diego looked over his shoulder several times over the final mile.

No U.S. runner had won the race since Lisa LarsenWeidenbach took the women’s title in 1985; the last American man to win was Greg Meyer in 1983.

Rita Jeptoo of Kenya successfully defended the women’s title she said she could not enjoy a year ago after the fatal bombings.

Jeptoo finished today’s race in a course-record 2:18.57. She becomes the seventh three-time Boston Marathon champion.

Jeptoo broke away from a group of five runners at the 23-mile mark. Buzunesh Deba finished second with an unofficial time of 2:19:59.

Shalane American Flanagan finished fifth after leading for more than half the race. She took a gamble by setting the early pace. She ran her first mile in 5 minutes, 11 seconds, but fell back on the Newton Hills about 21 miles into the race.

Sports Washington wins opener on road THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Nene dominated with 24 points, Trevor Ariza scored 18, and Washington rallied from 13 down to beat Chicago 102-93 in its playoff opener.

John Wall scored 16 in his postseason debut. Marcin Gortat added 15 points and 13 rebounds, and the fifthseeded Wizards pulled out the victory even though they looked like they were ready to be blown out.

They cut a 13-point deficit to one in the third and trailed by three going into the fourth, before outscoring Chicago 18-6 over the final six minutes to come out on top in their first playoff appearance since 2008.

Game 2 is Tuesday.

Heat 99, Bobcats 88: LeBron James scored 27 points, Dwyane Wade added 23 and Miami used a late charge to beat Charlotte in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference first-round series.

Chris Bosh scored 13 points and James Jones had 12 for the Heat. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Wednesday.

Kemba Walker scored 20 points for the Bobcats, who led by nine early and led again in the third. Al Jefferson missed eight of his final 13 shots after getting hurt in the first quarter. He finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who got 17 from Gary Neal and 15 from Josh McRoberts.

Miami sealed it with an 18-4 run in the fourth, all but three of those points coming with James getting a rest.

Spurs 90, Mavericks 85: Tim Duncan scored 27 points, and San Antonio held Dallas to one field goal in the final seven minutes to win Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

The Mavericks also went scoreless for 51⁄2 minutes dur-

ing that stretch, their lone field goal coming as time expired.

Tony Parker had 21 points, and Manu Ginobili added 17. Kawhi Leonard had 11 points and 10 rebounds and Tiago Splitter pulled down 11 rebounds for topseeded San Antonio, which has won 10 straight against Dallas.

Devin Harris scored 19 points for the Mavericks, who nearly pulled off a huge upset.

SATURDAY Hawks 101, Pacers 93: Jeff Teague scored a playoff career-high 28 points and Paul Millsap added 25 as eighth-seeded Atlanta rolled past top-seeded Indiana on Saturday night, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

The Hawks ended an eight-game road losing streak in the playoffs, which dated to May 2011. Game 2 is Tuesday in Indianapolis.

Indiana, which spent the whole season working to get home-court advantage in the playoffs, wasted no time in giving it right back with a dismal third quarter. Paul George finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds.

Atlanta opened the third quarter on an 8-0 run, breaking a 50-50 tie, then pulled away when Teague scored nine points in a 14-0 run that made it 74-58 with 4:08 left in the quarter.

Indiana couldn’t get closer than eight the rest of the way.

Warriors 109, Clippers 105: Klay Thompson scored 22 points, David Lee added 20 and the Golden State Warriors got Blake Griffin and Chris Paul in foul trouble to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in their playoff opener.

Stephen Curry added 14 points for the Warriors, who trailed by 11 to start the game before rallying in the third when Griffin and Paul were on the bench together.

The Associated Press

Washington forward Nene dunks against the Chicago Bulls during the first half Sunday.

Paul led the Clippers with 28 points, and J.J. Redick added 22 points in 30 minutes. Griffin finished with 16 points, fouling out with 48 seconds left and the game tied at 105. DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and 14 rebounds.

Foul trouble plagued both teams, but losing Griffin and Paul for stretches cost the Clippers at both ends. For the Warriors, Andre Iguodala fouled out with 3:04 left in the game and Lee played with four fouls.

Nets 94, Raptors 87: Deron Williams and Joe Johnson each scored 24 points, Paul Pierce scored nine of his 15 points in the final quarter and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

Shaun Livingston scored 10 points and Kevin Garnett had five as the Nets won despite making 4 of 24 3pointers.

Kyle Lowry scored 22 points and Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Raptors.

Valanciunas is the second Raptors player to have a double-double in his postseason debut. Tracy McGrady had 25 points and 10 rebounds against New York in his first playoff game in 2000.

Valanciunas also set a Raptors record for playoff rebounds by surpassing Keon Clark, who had 16 against Detroit in 2002.

Thunder 100, Grizzlies 86: Kevin Durant scored 13 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening game of their firstround series.

Russell Westbrook had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Serge Ibaka added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Thunder, who nearly squandered a 25-point lead but recovered from a dismal third quarter to make 10 of 16 shots in the fourth.

Zach Randolph led Memphis with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but he made just seven of 21 shots and got into foul trouble in the second half.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Woodson was fired as coach the New York Knicks today after his team fell from division champions to out of the playoffs in one season.

Phil Jackson, in his first big move since becoming team president in March, said in a statement “the time has come for change throughout the franchise.”

The dismissal comes shortly after the Knicks completed a 37-45 season that began with their belief they were a serious contender.

Instead, they started poorly, making Woodson’s job security practically a season-long distraction. A late surge wasn’t good enough for a postseason spot or another year for Woodson.

Jackson has won an NBArecord 11 championships as a

coach. He has repeatedly said he’s not interested in returning to the bench, so he will have to hire someone before he turns his attention to the roster. The team said the coaching search begins immediately.

Jackson said he has a “tremendous amount of respect” for Woodson and his staff, which was also fired.

Jackson called this an “extremely difficult” season and said “blame should not be put on one individual.”

“But the time has come for change throughout the franchise as we start the journey to assess and build this team for next season and beyond,” he added.

TNT analyst Steve Kerr, who played for Jackson with the Bulls but has never been a coach, has repeatedly been mentioned as a top candidate.

BLAZERS

right knee on the play where Aldridge fouled out and McHale said the Rockets would know more about the guard’s status after an MRI exam today. Beverley missed eight games late in the season because of a torn meniscus in the knee.

A dunk by Robin Lopez gave Portland a 116-114 lead before he fouled out seconds later. Howard made both free throws to tie it.

Houston scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter, with the first four from Howard, to make it 8673. But Portland used a 10-0 run, with the help of the Hack-A-Howard defense of intentionally fouling the center, to tie it at 98 with 2:46 remaining. Howard missed four straight free throws as Portland cut the deficit.

A 3-pointer by Lillard had tied it at 104-all before Harden put Houston up with two free throws. Aldridge’s tip-in with 2.9 seconds left tied it at 106. Houston had a chance to win it in regulation, but Harden’s shot was off.

The Rockets were frustrated that they let this one get away after leading by double figures late.

“We had no business losing this game,” Houston’s Chandler Parsons said.

From Page B1 Aldridge, who was playing in his home state, also had 18 rebounds and two blocks.

“He’s been a handful for us all year long,” Houston coach Kevin McHale said.

“We just didn’t have any answers for him.”

James Harden and Dwight Howard each scored 27 points for Houston, and Howard grabbed 15 rebounds.

Houston could have tied it, but Harden missed a short jump shot at the buzzer.

It was a physical game with the teams combining for 79 free throws.

A three-point play by Lillard gave Portland a onepoint lead with 44.5 seconds remaining. Francisco Garcia and Howard both made one of two free throws after that to give Houston a 120-119 lead 20 seconds later.

Aldridge fouled out when he knocked Patrick Beverley to the floor setting a pick with 1:04 left in overtime. An emotional Aldridge continued to yell at the referees after he went to the bench.

“This is one of those games where I could show my team that I wanted to lead,” Aldridge said.

Beverley re-injured his

B6• The World •Monday, April 21, 2014 rized below: (1) Are there reasons justifying why state policy embodied in Goals 3, 4, 11 and 14 should not apply?

(2) Are there areas which do not require a new goal exception that can reasonably accommodate the proposed uses?

(3) Are the long term environmental, social, economic and energy consequences of allowing the proposed golf course and improved trail at the proposed location, together with measures designed to reduce adverse impacts, not significantly more adverse than would typically result from the same uses being located in other areas requiring a goal exception?

(4) Will the proposed resort development of the expansion areas be compatible with other adjacent uses, or can it be so rendered through measures designed to reduce adverse impacts?

BRIDGE Harry Vardon, a top English golfer who died in 1937, said, “More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than by any other cause.”

More bridge contracts are lost through carelessness early in the play than by any other cause.

So, do not mess up early in today’s deal. South is in four hearts.

West leads the spade eight. East wins with his ace and returns the spade four. How should South proceed?

The South hand is definitely worth

a one-heart opening. The North hand would have been a perfect game-forcing two-no-trump response in the days of yore, but this modern pair was using the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing four-card or better heart support. Some pairs would respond three no-trump to show a balanced 13-15 without four hearts, but I like this to promise 3-3-3-4 or 3-3-4-3 distribution and a soft, no-trumpy hand.

An impulsive declarer would take the second trick on the board and run the heart jack (the percentage play for only one loser). But West would win with his queen and give his partner a spade ruff. Then the heart ace would defeat the contract.

Harry Vardon, if he had been a bridge player, would have realized that this was the one risk to the contract. And the way to keep the ball in play, not flying out of bounds, is first to cash dummy’s two top diamonds and discard declarer’s remaining spade. Then there is no risk of an opposing spade ruff and South can play on trumps, here losing one spade and two hearts.

Always pause to consider potential dangers.
