Mayoral recall bid trails by 11 votes

District forester Tim Truax, Roseburg Forest Products, holds up a picture of the last Lower Umpqua Tree Plant event to held in that exact spot. It was back in 1956; and those trees were just recently harvested, making way for this years tree seedlings.

History repeats historic planting

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

SCOTTSBURG — More then 150 elementary school children climbed into the forest land near Weatherly Creek, off state Highway 38 between Scottsburg and Elkton, to plant some trees.

Actually it was more than 2,000 of them.

The 69th annual Lower Umpqua Tree Plant returned, in a way, to the roots of the event. That’s because the children were replanting an area that some of their grand-

parents may have planted back in 1956.

Tim Truax, district forester for Roseburg Forest Products, says the area had been harvested after a 1951 fire. They just harvested those trees that were planted in ’56, and the hope was that they would be back with another generation of students in another 50-60 years to replant once again.

“The goal is to show the children that trees are a renewable product here,” he said.

PORT ORFORD — The votes were close in preliminary tallies of whether the mayor, Jim Auburn, should be recalled.

The count was 204 yes and 215 no as of 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. The Curry County clerk’s office representative said it would take 20 days for the vote to become final.

Among the city’s 653 registered voters, 419 voted.

A port commissioner, Brett Webb, accused Auburn of advocating the creation of a marine sanctuary for the region. Webb filed a petition to recall Auburn stating he was “imposing a National Marine Sanctuary on the people of Port Orford.”

Webb managed to get 86 signatures on the petition, according to the city records.

Webb said Auborn “attempted to deceive the public and City Council

COOS BAY — Elected officials are now at the helm of determining how the South Coast Community Foundation and Bayfront Investment Corporation move forward, and how both tie in to the Community Enhancement Plan.

The SCCF has been poked and prodded over the past few months, which have been rocky for its founders: Bill Lansing, Joanne Verger and John Whitty. There’s been public outcry and accusations of sidestepping Oregon’s education funding formula and open meetings and records law.

“We received information that his victim, who was 17 at the time, had been corresponding with someone over Facebook,” said Chief Deputy District Attorney Mark Monson. “There was an arrangement to meet.”

After the Olvera and the victim met in a car, Monson said, the girl

changed her mind about being there.

Olvera then allegedly forced her head down and sexually assaulted her.

“The case originally went to a grand jury in November,” Monson said, but a change in personnel briefly delayed matters.

Seventeen South Coast schools complete statewide survey

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

SOUTH COAST — Seventeen South Coast schools got at least half of their educators to respond to a statewide survey that gauges their satisfaction, or lack thereof, with their classroom, bosses and more.

The following 17 schools will receive data reports next month detailing their Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning, or TELL, Oregon survey results and providing tools and support for improvement planning: ■ Resource Link Charter School (100 percent

response) ■ Hillcrest Elementary (96 percent) ■ Myrtle Point High (91 percent) ■ Destinations Academy (90 percent) ■ Reedsport Community Charter School (89 percent) ■ Highland Elementary (83 percent) ■ North Bend High (83 percent) ■ Millicoma School (73 percent) ■ North Bay Elementary (72 percent) ■ Sunset School (69 percent) ■ Brookings-Harbor High (62 percent)

■ Marshfield High (62 percent) ■ Winter Lakes High (60 percent) ■ Coquille Valley Intermediate (56 percent) ■ Coquille High (53 percent) ■ Madison Elementary (53 percent) ■ Blossom Gulch Elementary (50 percent) Officials say this “feedback will help inform local school improvement efforts, district planning, and statewide policy discussions.”

Statewide, more than 19,000 teachers and administrators responded to the survey by the deadline Monday night. The Oregon

Department of Education had hoped for every school to meet the 50 percent minimum response rate, but they only got 786 schools (62 percent).

The survey asked educators what kind of support they’re getting, how they handle their students, what tools and resources are available to them and how they use their time.

More details will be released this week.

GOLD BEACH — A company Medford-area faces possible civil penalties after a state investigation found it improperly exposed Curry County residents to pesticides last fall. to Bruce According Pokarney, communications director for the Oregon Department of Agriculture, Pacific Air Research violated pesticides law when it conducted aerial spraying of timberlands outside Gold Beach in October 2013.

Residents of Cedar Valley — an unincorporated area of Gold Beach — reported being sickened by chemical exposure from the White City company’s spraying.

Their complaints led to an

face after the jump.

Marine deputies and members of the Lakeside Dive Rescue Squad retrieved Yarnell’s body from approximately 20 feet of water Monday.

The Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation along with the medical examiner’s office.

Yarnell, who graduated in

investigation by ODA, the state forestry department and the Environmental Protection Agency, and attracted attention from activist groups.

In March, the state attorney general’s office ordered the release of investigation documents at the request of Beyond Toxics, a pesticide reform group.

“Normally, these types of violations don’t get kicked up to the EPA,” Pokarney said, speaking by phone Tuesday afternoon. “I think that speaks to the seriousness of the allegations.”

Investigators say Pacific Air Research — which didn’t have a history of trouble with the EPA in the past — allowed their pesticide to fall outside the targeted timber lands.

The agency also says the company applied one of the pesticides at a rate higher than allowed under its manufacturer’s instructions.

Results from laboratory

testing of vegetation from Cedar Valley properties confirmed the presence of 2,4-D and triclopyr: active ingredients in the pesticide sprayed

by Pacific Air Research.

The forestry department also found inconsistencies in spraying notifications required to be filed with the agency. What was being sprayed wasn’t the same as what was on the notifications.

Pokarney wrote that throughout the investigation, “ODA received limited cooperation and misleading information from Pacific Air Research.”

Both state agencies are waiting for the EPA to take any punitive action on its part prior to imposing penalties of their own.

— The ROSEBURG Douglas Education Service District Board of Directors has announced the selection of Michael Lasher as the new superintendent. His hiring was approved during the ESD’s regular board meeting Feb. 20. Lasher has been serving as the interim superintendent of the ESD since being hired for that position in July 2013.

The board's selection came after a thorough perevaluation formance undertaken by the board in January and February. The results indicate Lasher is doing an excellent job of leading the district.

Before coming to Roseburg in July, Lasher worked for Intermountain

ESD for 17 years, rising to the position of deputy superintendent. Prior to a career in educational administration, Lasher enjoyed a successful career in information technology.

“The Douglas ESD has great staff and a wonderful potential to become more influential in improving the lives of children in Douglas County through its leadership of the South Central Early Learning Hub,” Lasher said. “Our first priority is always to serve school districts and children, and the Hub will allow us to do this even better.”

Lasher and his wife Cheryl Scholl are looking forward to making the Land of Umpqua their home.

Cover Oregon shuts out the public We already knew Cover Oregon spent money it shouldn’t. It created a health care marketplace that didn’t work. And now we learn it held secret meetings when it said it wouldn’t.

Salem’s Statesman-Journal reported recently that Cover Oregon kept its oversight meetings with the Legislature behind closed doors. Cover Oregon and the Legislature provided no public notice of the meetings. It provided no agendas. It kept no minutes. The meetings were held monthly since May 2012 in secret. When a reporter tried to attend, the reporter was escorted out.

Cover Oregon officials insisted the oversight committee meetings were not public meetings and so they didn’t need to follow Oregon’s public meetings law. Only a judge can ultimately decide if the meetings ran afoul of the law.

They certainly violated the spirit and intent of the law, which is that the public’s business should be done in the open.

One legislator, committee member Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, argued the meetings should remain secret.Public officials often are enamored with the idea that if the public is shut out, outcomes will be better because the discussions will be more frank.

How many more fiascoes like this does it take before that homily is dispelled by laughter?

Blinded by hubris and smitten with a crusade to bring better health care, Cover Oregon managed to produce what is arguably the worst health care marketplace in the country. And it

The (Bend) Bulletin

Deadly landslide highlights region-wide slate of issues With at least 16 dead and the potential for many more casualties from a massive landslide in Oso in northwest Washington, all rural residents on the wet side of the Pacific Northwest will be casting wary eyes toward our own steep and unstable hillsides.

In a sense, landslides are the flip side of wildlife risks that worsen as population expands into previously unsettled areas. Fire danger is associated with placing residential areas within forests, without hydrants or adequate buffers between dwellings and trees.

Landslide danger comes from homes in proximity to slopes that may never have been very stable, and are less so following heavy rains and surface disturbances like logging or road building.

There are numerous serious examples of unstable terrain tearing across highways and other structures in the Lower Columbia region.

The most notorious in recent years was the

massive December 2007 disaster that covered U.S. Highway 30, resulting in evacuations and an expensive, months-long reconstruction.

The Pacific Northwest will get nothing but more crowded, as the U.S. population increases and people relocate from hotter, drought states. The temptation will be to develop in more remote and less appropriate forested areas.

But we should look at our own situations, taking note of factors like rivers eroding the footings of hillsides like the one that gave way in Oso. More intense rainfall events and a switch from snowpack to more rain are predicted to become the norm. It is time to more carefully take slope stability into account when considering logging permits or giving the go-ahead to other types of development.

Government should be cautious on LNG export issue As momentum builds in Washington, D.C., to sell vast amounts of domestic natural gas overseas in response to the turmoil in Ukraine, federal officials should continue to move cau-

tiously on removing restrictions on exports and approving the construction of natural gas export terminals.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently conditionally authorized the controversial Jordan Cove Energy Project in Coos Bay to export liquefied natural gas to countries that do not have a free trade agreement with the United States. With the addition of Jordan Cove,the Obama administration has approved seven projects that could export a combined total of 9.3 billion cubic feet of gas each day, and at least eight more applications are pending. Only one has started construction, Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass facility on the Texas-Louisiana border. The rest, including Jordan Cove, must clear additional environmental and health permit hurdles.

Federal and state officials should not be rushed by political pressure to increase natural gas exports to Eastern Europe and Ukraine in light of the conflict with Russia over Crimea.

Export critics warn that increased gas exports could result in rising utility prices for U.S. consumers who rely on gas for heating and cooking. New evidence suggests that those concerns may be overstated.

A more pressing concern is environmental damage that could result from increased hydraulic fracturing, the technique used to extract gas from shale formations. Federal officials should not allow unrestricted exports without first tightening the ridiculously lax federal regulation of gas production.

Eugene Register-Guard

Just more TV news hype How long do you think you’d continue to buy this newspaper if every single story on every single page for the last three weeks was about a missing airplane? Or a hurricane? Or a baby down a well? Or any other single topic? No sports, no weddings, no obits, no financial news?

Doesn’t the word “news,” by definition, mean that what you’re reading or seeing is something new? Why does this only apply to newspapers, and not TV? How does TV get away with this? Why is the shelf-life of a story so long on television, but so short in print?

It’s not that there’s been anything factually wrong with the missing Malaysian Flight 370 story. It’s that the coverage is so out of proportion to everything else that’s going on in the world that you have to wonder: Why is it being so over-hyped?

Some will say “It’s obvious: CNN’s ratings have gone through the roof.” No, they haven’t. It’s like saying “Our ratings are up 50 percent!” But 50 percent of next-to-nothing is still next-to-nothing plus half of next-to-nothing. It’s not something to brag about.

My theory is that CNN JIM hijacked the plane to boost MULLEN their ratings and save them Humorist money at the same time.

They save money by just running a tape of everything they said yesterday and playing it over and over. Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper have probably been on vacation in Brazil for the last three weeks, hoping no one will notice that they say the same thing day after day.

And I can say that with authority because I know nothing about airplanes and little about television news. I don’t even understand how planes stay up in the air. It doesn’t make any sense. When you see how much the plane weighs, and then you see all those people get on with their carry-on luggage that weighs as much they do and then you look at the giant ball of cholesterol sitting next to you — you have to think to yourself, “There is no way that this thing is ever even going to leave the ground.”

Which is why I wonder that I haven’t been asked to be on TV and talk about Malaysian Flight 370. As I am eminently unqualified to address the matter, I wonder why my phone isn’t ringing off the hook with offers to spout the first thing that comes into my brain about it, the way most TV guests do.

This would be another thing that TV gets away with that newspapers can’t: fake experts. On TV, they don’t even say their guests are experts. Why would this guy be on TV if he wasn’t an expert? He’s with the Policy Center for the Future, or the Association of Associated Associates, what more do you want?

One day I was watching one of the financial channels, trying to figure out where I would lose money next, and Warren Buffett was the guest. Few people know more about investing than Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, and he generously shared his time and advice with the public. Their very next guest was a guy that owns a pawn shop in Las Vegas that is featured on reality TV. They gave him equal time with Buffett. The pawn shop fellow is a fun guy and an expert on running a pawn shop, and I can’t blame him for being on, but exactly what bit of wisdom were investors to take away from his appearance?

Flight 370 is not something to joke about or make fun of; there is real pain and sorrow there.But 115 people die in car accidents every day in the U.S. That’s a Flight 370 every three days. Why is that not a news story for the last three weeks? On whose value system are some lives more newsworthy than others?

Letters to the Editor LNG no pot o’ gold at rainbow’s end In Stephen Kridelbaugh’s editorial outlining his hopes for Coos County, it would seem that Jordan Cove will be a lifesaver; average incomes 25 percent greater than state averages, and a graduation rate from high school that is the highest in the state.

This is more than I’d imagined.

I thought I’d see if I could find a town with an LNG terminal who’d had such dramatic improvements.

Mr. Kridelbaugh may be a bit optimistic.

The Grande Chenier LNG terminal opened in the community of Cameron Parrish, La., in 2006.

They received a tax prepayment of $17.2 million and community contributions reported to have been nearly $10 million. How did they do in terms of improved education and economy after their LNG windfall? The median income went from $34,232 in 2000, to

$44,665 in 2012. As a comparison, the median income in Coos Bay was $31,212 in 2000, and increased to $37,985 in 2012. To put it in perspective, over the past 12 years the community with the LNG terminal had an annual median household income increase of less than $3,700 more than Coos Bay. As for school ratings after the infusion of LNG cash? USA.com rates the high school in the neighborhood a 2 out of a possible 5.

U.S. News & World Reports has Cameron Parrish lagging the rest of Louisiana with 5 percent reaching mastery in English and 0 percent reaching mastery in math.

I haven’t checked the rankings, but I’m pretty sure Coos Bay already does better.

For another comparison, I looked at Parachute Creek, Colo., where Jordan Cove backers, Williams Company, completed a natural gas plant in 2006. In 2000, the median annual income in Parachute Creek was $31,208,

and in 2012, after the plant was median annual completed, income for Parachute Creek rose to $41,047.Turns out school rankings were just as lackluster; rating 35 percent and 59 percent respectively on math and reading scores.

Maybe the other communities promised a pot of gold at the end of the LNG rainbow didn’t negotiate aggressively enough or use their windfall wisely. The promised windfall seems like a huge jackpot. But we really need to ask ourselves why no other community up and down the West Coast, including other ports in Oregon, wants an LNG terminal. Do they know something we don’t know, or at least won’t admit?

U.S. and Canada: Together at last?

What country do Americans overwhelmingly like the most?

Canada.

What country do Canadians pretty much like the most?

America.

What country has the natural resources America needs?

Canada.

What country has the entrepreneurship, technology and defense capability Canada needs?

America.

Has the time come to face the music and dance? Yes, says Diane Francis, editor-at-large at the National Post in Toronto. Her book “Merger of the Century: Why Canada and America Should Become One Country” is both provocative and persuasive.

“The genius of both societies is that they are very good at assimilating people from all over the world,” Francis told me. “So why can’t they do it themselves?”

Relatively small differences are why. Canadian intellectuals have long portrayed the United States

as their violent, twin. unruly Many conservatives in this country, meanwhile, deride Canada as the socialistic land of single-payer medicine, gun FROMA control and other heavy HARROP regulation.

Columnist “I don’t buy the narrative of American exceptionalism or Canadian superiority,” says Francis, a dual citizen (born in Chicago). “Both have good points and bad points.”

There’s a big, scary reason the countries should merge: to create a united front against outside aggressors, especially China and Russia.These countries’sights are set on Canada’s rich and poorly defended open spaces.

Francis writes: “China has targeted Canada for years because of its enormous oil sands, its unde-

veloped resources, its dominant Arctic position, its backdoor entry into the U.S. market and technology sector, and its vast land mass capable of supporting millions more people.”

For example, China’s state-run oil company was able to buy Nexen, the Canadian oil giant, for $15 billion — despite loud public opposition and warnings by Canadian intelligence.

Meanwhile, the melting Arctic is exposing massive resources.

Canadian blood pressure rose when Russian explorer Artur Chilingarov announced, “The Arctic is Russian” — and then his sub planted a Russian flag on the seabed.

Canada can hardly defend its territory in an age of resource grabbing while ranking 14th in defense spending and 74th in military manpower. Only the United States can do that.

The United States and Canada could reach the altar by several paths. One would start with a sin-

gle currency, move to a customs union and end at political union.

Europe is already at monetary union.“The countries have different health care systems, different taxes, but there’s no border.”

What does each partner have to offer? “Canada’s best assets include its resources, stability and banking system, its strong relationship with the United States and an educated, law-abiding people,” according to Francis.

America offers a culture of risk taking and entrepreneurship. It leads the world in technology and defense.

“There’s no excuse for two countries as similar as us to not get rid of the border after 26 years of free trade,” Francis says.

A merged Canada and U.S. would occupy more land than Russia or all of South America. It would become an energy and economic powerhouse less subject to foreign intrigue.

And few countries would mess with either of us.

State Woman with transgender lover is looking for family support DEAR ABBY: I’m a divorced woman with grown children. I have always supported gay rights and thought of myself as straight.

But a few months ago, I met a woman, “Stephanie.�

We hit it off immediately, and I was shocked to learn she’s a transgender woman who was born male. We have spent a lot of time together and are falling in love.

Stephanie will be having surgery soon to complete the transgender process.

I have been surprised and disappointed by the DEAR lack of support from my family and friends, whom I a l w a y s thought were openminded.

Some have voiced supJEANNE port, but PHILLIPS have shown no interest in meeting her and seem uncomfortable hearing about her.

I’m excited about this relationship and would have thought my family and friends would be happy for me, as I have been alone for a long time. But now I find myself refraining from mentioning Stephanie in conversation.

How can I discuss her with others? We are taking things slowly and not jumping into anything, yet we can definitely see ourselves spending the rest of our lives together.

We have already faced disapand strangers proving handled it well. — LOVES MY FRIEND IN OHIO DEAR LOVES: It appears Stephanie isn’t the only one in your relationship who is in transition. Both of you are, and because it is new to those around you, they may not understand it — which is why they are uncomfortable.

The fact that Stephanie is transgender should not be mentioned right off the bat.

It is not the most important thing about her, and it should not be her defining characteristic. Discuss the matter with your friend and ask how she would like to be introduced and referred to. It’s only logical that this will vary according to how close these people are to you.

DEAR ABBY: I am a single mother who has had my share of heartbreak. I was with “Kent� for almost two years. We moved in together and talked often about marriage. Things were going great, but then he lost his job.

After that, finding and keeping a job became harder and harder for him.

One day when I came home from work, all of Kent’s clothes were gone. He said he had moved back in with his mother because he didn’t feel comfortable with me paying all the bills. He assured me he still wanted to remain in the relationship, and once he could keep a steady job he’d move back.

Three months later, he broke up with me. The following week some mutual friends told me he had gotten married!

When I confronted Kent, he told me he still wants to have a sexual relationship with me. I refused and haven’t spoken to him since.

Yesterday I learned that I am pregnant with his child.

I am turned upside down without a clue what to do. Is it wrong to feel hatred for him? — BETRAYED IN TEXAS DEAR BETRAYED: Under the circumstances your feelings are understandable.

Now, here’s what to do.

Contact Kent AND his wife and tell them the “happy� news that he is going to be a father — and you expect him to shoulder all the responsibilities that go with it. Then talk to a lawyer to be sure he does.

The former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state spoke Tuesday evening in Portland as part of the World Affairs Council of Oregon’s international speaker series featuring women changing the world.

Clinton says nations’ economic prosperity is limited when half their population is excluded from schools and workplaces. She says foreign leaders were most receptive when she’d make an economic argument for women’s rights.

But she also says the United States and the rest of the developed world also need to improve, pointing to the gap between wages for

GRANTS PASS (AP) — A state investigation has determined that a helicopter hired to spray herbicide on some commercial timberlands in southwestern Oregon “more than likely� allowed some to fall over people’s homes as it flew by.

But the results released Tuesday by the Oregon Department of Agriculture came to no conclusions about whether the small amounts found on the ground can account for complaints from two dozen people who said the spray made them sick.

The investigation was launched after complaints last October from people in the Cedar Valley area north of Gold Beach.

Department Director Katy Coba said that the helicopter company, Pacific Air Research Inc., of White City, could face state and federal civil penalties as the investigation moves into the enforcement phase.

The state found violations including: â– Allowing pesticides to fall on properties other than the intended spray site. â– Applying a heavier dose than allowed by label instructions on one of the commercial timberland sites. â– Providing multiple false records that misled the department about what products were used.

Pacific Air Research owner and pilot Steve Owen said the department had not given him any paperwork about the investigation or its findings, so he could not comment.

Cedar Valley resident John Burns, assistant chief of the local volunteer fire department, said he was frustrated by the time the investigation took, particularly to come up with the various pesticides that fell on their homes. That made it impossible for doctors treating victims to know what they were dealing with. He added that he is still coughing five months after the incident. “We had to dig every bit of information out of them to know what was going on, why this happened to us, and what the product was we were poisoned with,� said Burns. “What are they going to do to stop this from happening to us again?�

Coba acknowledged that the department could have done a better job of keeping

residents informed, but added that the applicator, Pacific Air Research, did not cooperate, to the point of providing false records that misled investigators about what products were used.

Though investigators were initially told that the only herbicide used was glyphosate, commonly sold as RoundUp, samples of vegetation from the properties of two of the Cedar Valley residents showed barely detectible levels of 2,4-D and triclopyr, both common broadleaf weed killers, investigators found. Five other vegetation samples detected no herbicides.

Lead investigator Mike Odenthal said Air Research set up Oct. 16 west of the rural neighborhood to spray three forest units.

The helicopter flew over the homes when it went to spray a fourth forest plot, but records indicating that pass didn’t emerge right away, Odenthal said.

The flight records, combined with details indicating what the helicopter carried, the chemicals detected on the ground and a lack of other potential sources of herbicides, led to the conclusion that the chemicals probably came from the helicopter. “I think we’ve got enough to show more than likely that the product came from the aerial applicator,� he said.

Lisa Arkin, director of the pesticides watchdog group Beyond Toxics, said she was disappointed that investigators did not pay greater heed to the two dozen residents who complained of headaches, blurry vision, loss of balance, coughing, fatigue, nausea and rashes. “It is no coincidence that so many people were sickened on the same day, and most of them had no idea there was even a helicopter spraying, yet they reported similar symptoms,� she said. “I think that’s a clear indication the exposure to the spray that day was linked to the illnesses.�

She added that seven vegetation samples were not enough, and none was taken from an area where the dose was apparently heavy enough to kill the grass.

Meanwhile, a group of doctors has written Oregon Health Authority officials asking for an epidemiological investigation of health complaints from the spraying.

Nation Twitter seeks to broaden appeal with redesign

The Associated Press

Emergency responders gather in the parking lot of the high school on the campusof the Franklin Regional School District where several people were stabbed at Franklin Regional High School on Wednesday in Murrysville, Pa., near Pittsburgh.The suspect, a male student, was taken into custody and being questioned.

4 students seriously hurt in school stabbings MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A student armed with a knife went on a stabbing and slashing spree at a high school near Pittsburgh on Wednesday morning, leaving as many as 20 people injured, including four students who suffered serious wounds, authorities said.

The suspect, a male student, was taken into custody and being questioned by police. All of the victims were expected to survive, doctors said.

Not all of the 20 injured at Franklin Regional High School were cut by the knife, though most were, County Westmoreland management emergency spokesman Dan Stevens said. Some suffered scrapes and cuts in the ensuing mayhem that broke out at about 7:15 a.m. at the school in Murrysville, about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.

One victim was an adult, authorities said, but none of their names was being released.

Dr. Chris Kaufman, the trauma director at Forbes Regional Medical Center, the closest hospital, said two victims were in surgery and one was awaiting surgery. All three were all stabbed in the torso, abdomen, chest or back, which he called “sig-

nificant injuries.”

Seven teens and one adult were listed in serious condition at Forbes Hospital, West Penn Allegheny Health System spokeswoman Jennifer Davis said. They ranged in age from 15 to 60, and some were in surgery, she said. A ninth victim, a 15-year-old girl, was in good condition at Allegheny Hospital, Davis said.

Twelve of the victims were sent to four hospitals in the UPMC system, a spokeswoman said. She said hospital officials were still gathering information on their conditions and identities, including the patients’ ages.

The suspect was being questioned by county detectives and police at the Murrysville police station.

Stevens said the suspect used a knife, though he didn’t say what kind and said it wasn’t immediately clear why the student attacked the others.

One student told WTAE he saw “students holding their stomachs, bleeding.”

That student wasn’t sure how the assailant was stopped, but said at some point, a fire alarm was activated and said, “As soon as we heard the fire alarm was pulled we went outside.”

Speaking outside the

school, Morris Hundley said his 14-year-old daughter, Morriah, called him Wednesday morning in tears. Hundley came to the school still wearing his slippers, hoping for more information.

“My first thoughts were I think we need to home school now that this has happened,” Hundley said.

“The words can’t describe how I feel. I’m just thinking of the victims.”

Gov. Tom Corbett instructed state police to assist local investigators.

“I was shocked and saddened upon learning of the events that occurred this morning as students arrived at Franklin Regional High School. As a parent and grandparent, I can think of nothing more distressing than senseless violence against children. My heart and prayers go out to all the victims and their families,” Corbett said in a statement.

School officials and Murrysville police didn’t immediately return calls seeking further details, but the school issued a bulletin on its website saying: “A critical incident has occurred at the high school.

All elementary schools are canceled, the middle school and high school students are

secure.”

The district later announced that the high school students were being moved to another school in the district, where their parents could pick them up.

The district serves about 3,600 students who live in the bedroom communities of Murrysville, Export and Delmont. The elementary and middle schools are part of the same campus.

Stevens said the incident happened after most students had arrived but before the school day was officially in session.

Initial reports indicated the stabbings happened during a fire drill, but investigators now believe another student may have pulled a fire alarm to alert others to the emergency in hopes that would clear the building.

Parents and former students say the school, which doesn’t have metal detectors but does spot searches when security officials deem it necessary, generally does a good job of keeping students safe.

“I think the school reacted as fast ... as possible,” said Rich Nickel, whose daughter, Jenna, 16, is a sophomore.

“It’s obviously a (lone) individual’s act.”

De Blasio has victories, missteps in 1st 100 days NEW YORK (AP) — Bill de Blasio, New York City’s first Democratic mayor in a generation, has been in office nearly 100 days, a time marked by political hardball over pre-kindergarten, second-guessing over snowplows and an unfortunate attempt to eat pizza with a knife and fork.

A report card, of sorts, on the new mayor so far:

THE BIG PROMISE: Most of de Blasio’s time and energy was spent on his signature campaign promise — to tax the city’s rich to pay for universal pre-kindergarten. That resulted in only a partial victory after the surprise entry of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who rejected the tax idea and offered to fund pre-k through the state budget.

De Blasio, however, got all the money he asked for — $300 million — and says all will be forgotten when the first of 50,000 4-year-olds start going to class this fall.

“He got pre-k on the agenda and then got it funded, even if it wasn’t the way he wanted to fund it,” said Kenneth Sherrill, retired politics professor at Hunter College. “He made something happen that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.”

HITS: De Blasio made legislation to expand the number of workers eligible for sick days the first bill he signed into law. He also withdrew the city’s challenge to federal oversight of the crime-fighting tactic of stop and frisk, which allows police to stop anyone they believe to be acting suspiciously. Critics say the tactic is discriminatory because those stopped

are mostly black and Hispanic men.

“He’s been keeping his promises to his base, he’s keeping them engaged,” said George Arzt, former press secretary to Mayor Ed Koch.

“These small victories add up.”

His first crisis came when a gas explosion flattened two East Harlem apartment buildings, killing eight people. Observers believe he effectively projected leadership and compassion, devoting city resources to helping those affected by the blast.

MISSES: De Blasio has been criticized for his sluggishness in appointing members of his senior staff — the Fire Department, for instance, still does not have a new commissioner.

And the new mayor’s political shortcomings were exposed when several of his proposals — including a call to raise the minimum wage and scale back charter schools — were scuttled at seemingly every turn by Cuomo and Albany lawmakers.

Then there were a series of made-for-tabloid controversies de Blasio initially dismissed as “sideshows.”

Under pressure from “Today” show weatherman Al Roker, among others, de Blasio was forced to admit the city did not plow several neighborhoods effectively during one of the winter’s many snowstorms.

He called the NYPD to inquire about the arrest of a political ally. He walked out of a news conference after his security detail was spotted speeding through traffic signals. And then there were the photos of de

The Associated Press

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio reads to children in a pre-kindergarten class at P.S. 130 in New York. De Blasio’s first 100 days as mayor of New York were marked in nearly equal measures by accomplishing campaign goals and committing political blunders. Most of his time and energy was devoted to a single issue, his central campaign promise to create universal pre-kindergarten and fund it with a tax on wealthy New Yorkers.

Blasio digging into his pizza witµh flatware, which he awkwardly explained by saying that’s how real Italians (if not real New Yorkers) do it.

BOTTOM LINE: De Blasio, a longtime political operative, remains most comfortable in camsettings while paign sometimes stumbling on the nitty gritty of governing. But most observers gave the mayor fairly positive marks

for what is often called the nation’s second-toughest political job, behind only the presidency.

“There’s no one born yet who could manage someplace like this on Day One,” said longtime Democratic operative Hank Sheinkopf.

“He’ll grow into the role.”

“If I were grading, I’d put him in the B/B+ range,” added Sherrill.

“There is a huge learning curve,” Arzt said. “It’ll take him about a year.

NEW YORK (AP) — As Twitter looks to broaden its appeal beyond its 241 million users, the company is introducing a redesign of profile pages that includes bigger photos, more user controls and a distinct resemblance to Facebook.

“Moment by moment, your Twitter profile shows the world who you are,” the company wrote in a blog post Tuesday. “Starting today, it will be even easier (and, we think, more fun) to express yourself through a new and improved Web profile.”

As part of changes coming in the next few weeks, users who access Twitter via the Web will notice larger photos on their profile pages.

Besides profile photos on the left corner of the page, the redesign includes a large banner photo that resembles the big rectangular cover photos on Facebook pages.

Users will be able to “pin” one of their tweets to the top of the page to give others an idea of the topics they like to tweet about. In addition, tweets that receive the most interest from other users will appear slightly larger.

US penned satire in secret Cuban Twitter WASHINGTON (AP) — Draft messages produced for a Twitter-like service in Cuba that the U.S. government secretly funded were overtly political, documents obtained by The Associated Press show, even though the Obama administration has said the program had a more-neutral purpose.

The early messages poked fun at the Castro government and were created by a political satirist working for the social media project.

Those messages conflict with the U.S. government’s earlier assertions that its program didn’t promulgate political content.

Disclosure of the text messages came as the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development told Congress in sometimesconfrontational testimony Tuesday that his agency’s program was simply meant to increase the flow of information in a country that heavily restricts Internet access.

NEWS D I G E S T World economy is stronger, faces threats WASHINGTON (AP) — The global economy is strengthening but faces threats from super-low inflation and outflows of capital from emerging economies, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday.

The lending organization expects the global economy to grow 3.6 percent this year and 3.9 percent in 2015, up from 3 percent last year.

Those figures are just onetenth of a percentage point below the IMF’s previous forecasts in January.

Trial judge annoyed by phones in court SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — So far one of the biggest problems for a federal judge overseeing a patent battle between the world’s largest smartphone makers isn’t about stolen ideas. It’s getting the roomful of smartphone devotees to turn off their devices.

U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh has become increasingly frustrated during the first few days of the trial pitting Apple against Samsung because the many personal Wi-Fi signals interfere with a network the judge relies on for a real-time transcript of the proceedings.

The phones also ring, buzz and jingle, and can be used to take photos, a serious violation of court rules.

Sentencing pending in shoe stabbing trial HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas jury that convicted a Houston woman of fatally stabbing her boyfriend with the 51⁄2 -inch stiletto heel of her shoe is set to hear more testimony before deciding on a sentence.

The punishment phase in the trial of Ana Trujillo is scheduled to begin Wednesday morning in Houston. The jury took just two hours to reach a verdict in the case Tuesday.

Medicare database reveals top-paid doctors WASHINGTON (AP) — Medicare paid a tiny group of doctors $3 million or more apiece in 2012. One got nearly $21 million.

Those are among the findings of an Associated Press analysis of physician data released Wednesday by the Obama administration, part of a move to open the books on health care financing.

Topping Medicare’s list was Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen, whose with Sen. relationship Robert Menendez, D-N.J., made headlines last year after news broke that the lawmaker used the doctor’s personal jet for trips to the Dominican Republic.

Medicare paid Melgen $20.8 million. His lawyer said the doctor’s billing conformed with Medicare rules and is a reflection of high drug costs.

AP’s analysis found that a small sliver of the more than 825,000 individual physicians in Medicare’s claims data base — just 344 physicians — took in top dollar, at least $3 million apiece for a total of nearly $1.5 billion.

AP picked the $3 million threshold because that was the figure used by the Health and Human Services inspector general in an audit last year that recommended Medicare automatically scrutinize total billings above a set level. Medicare says it’s working on that recommendation.

About 1 in 4 of the toppaid doctors — 87 of them — practice in Florida, a state known both for high Medicare spending and widespread fraud. Rounding out the top five states were California with 38 doctors in the top group, New Jersey with 27, Texas with 23, and New York with 18.

In the $3 million-plus club, 151 ophthalmologists — eye specialists — accounted for nearly $658 million in Medicare payments, leading other disciplines. Cancer doctors rounded out the top four specialty groups, accounting for a combined total of more than $477 million in payments.

The high number of ophthalmologists in the top tier may reflect the doctors’ choice of medications to treat patients with eye problems. Studies have shown that Lucentis, a pricey drug specially formulated for treating macular degeneration, works no better than a much cheaper one, Avastin.

But lower-cost Avastin must be specially prepared for use in the eye, and problems with sterility have led many doctors to stick with Lucentis.

Overall, Medicare paid individual physicians nearly $64 billion in 2012.

The median payment — the point at which half the amounts are higher and half are lower — was $30,265.

AP’s analysis focused on individual physicians, excluding about 55,000 organizations that also appear in the database, such as ambulance services. None of those entities was paid $3 million or more.

The Medicare claims database is considered the richest trove of information on doctors, surpassing what major insurance companies have in their files. Although Medicare is financed by taxpayers, the data have been off limits to the public for decades. Physician organizations went to court to block its release, arguing it would amount to an invasion of doctors’ privacy.

Bomb blast in Pakistani capital kills 21 ISLAMABAD (AP) — A bomb ripped through a fruit and vegetable market on the outskirts of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad on Wednesday morning, killing at least 21 people and leaving dozens more wounded, officials said.

The massive blast was the latest attack to shake Pakistan even as government negotiations with the Taliban pick up pace in an attempt by the authorities to resolve years of deadly fighting that has killed tens of thousands of people in the northwest.

The bomb went off as morning shoppers were buying supplies at the market, located on the outskirts of Islamabad. The power of the blast sent cartons of fruit and vegetables flying. Police quickly cordoned off the scene, which was littered with guavas, shoes, and prayer caps. Blood stained the ground in many areas.

More pings raise hopes plane will be found

D I G E S T Pistorius’ girlfriend died in his arms

PERTH, Australia (AP) — The frustrating monthlong search for the Malaysian jetliner received a tremendous boost when a navy ship detected two more signals that most likely emanated from the aircraft’s black boxes. The Australian official coordinating the search expressed hope Wednesday that the wreckage will soon be found.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius testified at his murder trial on Wednesday that girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp died in his arms after he shot her in his home last year.

that an analysis of two sounds detected on Saturday showed they were consistent with a plane’s black boxes.

“I’m now optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not-too-distant future.

But we haven’t found it yet, because this is a very challenging business,” Houston said at a news conference in Perth, the hub for the search operation.

The signals detected 1,020 miles northwest of Perth are the strongest indication yet that the plane crashed and is now lying at the bottom of the ocean in the area where the search is now focused.

Still, Houston warned he could not yet conclude that searchers had pinpointed Flight 370’s crash site.

“I think that we’re looking in the right area, but I’m not prepared to say, to confirm, anything until such time as somebody lays eyes on the wreckage,” he said.

Finding the black boxes quickly is urgent because their locator beacons have a battery life of about a month, and Tuesday marked one month since the plane vanished with 239 people on board. If the batteries fail before the black boxes are located, finding them in such deep water — about 15,000

feet — would be immensely difficult, if not impossible.

The Ocean Shield is towing a pinger locator from a U.S. Navy that is designed to detect signals from a plane’s two black boxes — the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.

A data analysis of the signals the ship heard Saturday determined they were distinct, man-made and pulsed consistently, Houston said.

“They believe the signals to be consistent with the specification and description of a flight data recorder,” he said.

Dozens leave offices seized by Ukraine separatists bringing up the issue of breaking off from Ukraine and are not calling for the help of foreign countries,” Tyhipko said on his Facebook page.

Turning Ukraine into a federation is Russia’s key demand and the new government in Kiev has refused to fulfill it, calling it a precursor to a break-up. In Donetsk, where protesters were still occupying the govthe ernment building, regional governor was meeting with key figures in the pro-Russian protest movement to try to find a solution to the crisis In Donetsk, where protesters were still occupying the government building, the regional governor Serhiy Taruta was meeting with key activists at a hotel to try to find a solution to the crisis.

All the cities affected by the uprisings are in Ukraine’s industrial Russian-speaking heartland in the east, which has a large population of ethnic Russians and economic and where cultural ties to Russia are strong.

Many residents are suspicious of government that took power in February.

Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said the standoff in Luhansk and the two neighboring Russian-leaning regions of Donetsk and Kharkiv must be resolved within the next two days.

“I want to repeat that there are two options: political settlement through negotiations and the use of force,” Avakov told reporters.

“We are ready for both options.”

Avakov was speaking as anti-government protesters in Luhansk erected high barricades along a thoroughfare

running in front of the security service premises.

Overnight, speakers at a gathering in front of the building condemned the government in Kiev and renewed demands to be allowed to hold a referendum on declaring autonomy for their region. That demand is similar to one that preceded Crimea’s annexation by Russia.

The Ukrainian government and the U.S. have accused Moscow of fomenting the unrest as a pretext for another Russian military incursion similar to last month’s takeover of Crimea.

Up to 40,000 Russian troops are massed along the Ukrainian border, according to NATO. Speeches at the rally were interspersed occasionally with chants of “Russia!

Russia!” and an unidentified speaker won cheers as he listed names of prominent politicians that he suggested should be executed.

Those occupying the building have issued a video statement warning that any attempt to storm the place would be met with force.

In the video, posted by Ukrainian media, a masked man identified the occupiers as Ukrainian veterans of the Soviet war in Afghanistan and warned the authorities against trying to retake the building. “Welcome to hell, then!” he said.

The security services said negotiations with the separatists were continuing and that parliamentary deputies had been able to enter and leave the building unhindered.

The Russian Foreign Ministry hit back at the West on Wednesday, calling for

the U.S. to stop using international organizations as a means of “exacerbating tensions surrounding Ukraine.”

“The daily activity of Russian troops on national territory does not threaten the security of the U.S. or other member states of the OSCE,” the Russian statement said. “Attempts to accuse Russia of a buildup of troops are unfounded.”

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday called on Moscow to ease tensions.

Speaking after talks with visiting prime minister of Latvia, Laimdota Straujuma, Tusk said that it is “beyond any doubt, that the country that has contributed to this conflict — Russia — is responsible for the de-escalation.”

Africans risk lives to reach Europe MELILLA, Spain (AP) — They perched atop a barbedwire laced fence for more than seven hours, hands and feet bloodied, buffeted by chill winds whipping the cliffs of Africa’s Mediterranean coast.

The 27 sub-Saharan African migrants were literally on the edge between Africa’s economic misery and the long-dreamt riches of Europe: On one side of the fence was Morocco, on the other the Spanish enclave of Melilla.

Thirst, hunger and exhaustion wore the migrants down. One by one, they shakily climbed down the ladder that Spanish authorities had propped up on their side of the fence.

Spanish police led the Africans back to Morocco — and into the hands of their waiting Moroccan counterparts.

The men are part of a spring migration offensive from Africa to Europe, with record numbers of desperate people risking death in their quest for a better life. They use perilous routes such as Mediterranean Sea crossings on rickety boats to the Italian island of Lampedusa or treks through desert, jungle and mountain that culminate in attempts to scale fences erected to keep them out of Melilla and Spain’s other North African enclave, Ceuta.

Toyota recalls about 6.4 million vehicles TOKYO (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 6.39 million vehicles globally for a variety of problems spanning nearly 30 models in Japan, the U.S., Europe and other places.

No injuries or crashes have been reported related to the recalls announced Wednesday.

But two reports of fires are linked to one of the problems,a defective engine starter that can keep the motor running.

Some vehicles were recalled for more than one problem. The recall cases total 6.76 million vehicles for 27 Toyota models, the Pontiac Vibe and the Subaru Trezia, produced from April 2004 through August 2013.

The Pontiac Vibe, which is a General Motors Co. model, is also involved because Toyota and GM made cars at the same plant in California and the recalled model is the same as the Toyota Matrix. It was recalled for a problem with a spiral cable attached to an air-bag. It is unrelated to a separate GM recall over ignition switches linked to at least 13 deaths.

Subaru is partly owned by Toyota, and the model was the same as the Toyota Ractis.

For the recall, Toyota also reported problems with seat rails, the bracket holding the steering column in place, the windshield-wiper motor and a cable attached to the airbag module.

Continued from Page A1 International Port of Coos Bay — make up a work group that meets once a week. City, county, port and Coos Curry Douglas Business Development Corporation staff provide input.

The work group is tasked with fine-tuning the Community Enhancement Plan, which — for now — is only an idea touted at city council, school board and commissioner meetings. It’s a plan designed to funnel Jordan Cove’s possible community service fees (if it gets the federal go-ahead and if it receives a long-term property tax exemption) into three coffers: 1. Half goes to SCCF, which would be split between funding competitive grants for Coos County and Reedsport school districts and building an endowment for the future.

2. Bayfront Investment Corporation would get 25 percent to fund waterfront and economic development projects within the Coos Bay Estuary Management Plan.

3. The final 25 percent would go to the North Spit’s taxing districts: Coos County, Coos County Library Service, SWOCC, the port, Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, North Bay Rural Fire Protection District and Coos County 4-H District.

During the work group’s first open meeting Monday afternoon, members tried to morph these moving pieces into a well-oiled machine.

The work group has two subgroups: They’ll examine the SCCF and Bayfront.

SCCF bylaws still need work The work group had trouble deciding how SCCF would fit under Oregon’s open meetings law. Typically, nonprofits (SCCF is preparing an application for 501(c)(3) status) do not fall under this law.

But the public kept saying public funds should be under public scrutiny. Now, the work group and any future SCCF meetings are open to the public.

The work group and some members of the public found more holes in the bylaws: There was no language to comply with open records law or parameters for executive sessions.

Bayfront still undecided Bayfront is in its infancy, the details of which are mostly unknown, said work group chair and Coos Bay Councilor Jennifer Groth.

Will it be a nonprofit foundation or an intergovernmental agency? What is its mission, bylaws, and how would funds be allocated?

The subgroup will have to answer these questions, the work group decided.

Ericka Carlton(left) and Ashley Espinoza, fifth grade students from Highland Elementary School in Reedsport, plant one of the 26 tree seedlings that they had completed to this point. It was part of the 69th annual Lower Umpqua Tree Plant event.

TREES Tree plantings began in 1946 Continued from Page A1 The children arrived on the site by 9 a.m. Tuesday and got right to work.

Two of the young workers Highland from were Elementary School in Reedsport and their effort was indicative of the kind of effort all of the students were

putting into the event.

Within the first hour and a half, fifth graders Ashley Espinoza and Ericka Carlton had already planted 26 trees on their own.

Officials say their help was important, and timely.

“We’re kind of at the end of planting season,” Truax said, as he surveyed the young workers along the hillsides. “(The seedlings) are lifted out of the nursery and we try to keep them in their dormancy until they’re planted and then they’re

ready to grow.”

The tree plant is made possible with the help of Roseburg Resources, Oregon Department of Forestry, the Bureau of Land Management, and other private and public partners.

The kids also get an extra reward for their labor. The tree plant was followed by a hot dog lunch at Scottsburg Park.

The event is the oldest, continuous tree plant in the United States, with the first tree plant being held in 1946.

Peak to be named after Reagan WASHINGTON (AP) — About the only thing former President Ronald Reagan doesn’t have named after him is a mountain, not one recognized by the federal government anyway.

Now, Republican Rep. Joe Heck of Nevada is pushing a bill that would name a part of Frenchman Mountain, located just east of Las Vegas, after the nation’s 40th president.

The House Natural Resources Committee approved Heck’s bill by voice vote Wednesday, but not before some Democrats on the committee had fun with the issue.

Democratic Rep. Pete DeFazio of Oregon said a more fitting tribute would be to name Yucca Mountain after Reagan. Steps taken to develop Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste repository accelerated during Reagan’s presidency. Nevadans are overwhelmingly

tions in which a public body can move into executive session. The work group said only eight of those would apply to SCCF. Powers resident Leo Grandmontagne spoke up: You can’t pick and choose which part of the law to follow. You comply or you don’t.

“We’re trying to differentiate ourselves from a public agency so that it ... reduces the opportunity for someone to come to us and say, you’re simply another public entity passing money on to schools, therefore we count that against the money ... the state gives the schools,” said County Commissioner John Sweet.

That means the work group’s “intent is to circumvent the rules,” Grandmontagne said.

“Yes, it is (our intent),” several of the work group’s members responded.

An executive session is allowed “to carry on negotiations ... with private persons or businesses regarding proposed acquisition, exchange or liquidation of public investments.”

That means overarching discussions about how the group could invest funds would have to be in open session, said county counsel Josh Soper, while discussions with a person who has detailed information on a specific investment opportunity can happen in executive session.

Sweet said if investment options are discussed behind closed doors, it maximizes the return. But if that discussion is public, it gets wrapped up in politics and any benefit is lost, he said.

“I think there are ways around that,” Sweet said. “One could, for instance, decide to invest proceeds at Oregon Community Foundation, which has a great record, so we’re not making those decisions.”

Tiger-less Masters loses flare

Photos by Alysha Beck, The World

Marshfield’s Sidney Baarstad slides into third base against Siuslaw’s Taylor Dotson during the game Tuesday.

Big burst propels Pirates to victory

I have no shame in saying I don’t want to watch the Masters with Tiger Woods out.

I know, on paper I’m supposed to be a hardcore golf purist who should enjoy the Gentleman’s Game played at its peak at Augusta. I get that.

But after news broke about Tiger not being able to play in the Masters because of a back injury, my interest plummeted like Tiger’s Q-rating in Dec. 2009.

It’s really simple: Tiger, in every way, shape and form, is the Masters to me.

Last year leading up to the Masters, I wrote a column about how I look forward to rooting for Tiger — and only Tiger — every year as a sort of tribute to an old friend.

I despised golf when I was younger before a high school buddy of mine named Ryan Smith forced me to give it a shot. To put how much I hated golf in perspective, my AIM screen name was GolfPlayazSuk135 when I met him. He eventually flipped me, SPORTS and a year later, I was the one inviting him to the driving range.

As great a friend as Ryan was, I always teased him about his idol. Ryan was a Woods GEORGE obsessive.

A RTSITAS Besides your typical stuff like wearing red shirts on Sundays and owning Woods’ certified gear, Ryan could get hardcore. He used to toss his friend’s Gatorade out the window because the sports drink company dropped Tiger as a spokesman after his scandal.

(He’d always follow up with an offer to pay them back with a Powerade.)

Four years ago, Ryan died of a drug overdose, and every year since I’ve tried to root enough for Woods for the both of us. I never got the chance to do it in real life, so every April I try to make up for lost opportunities.

The 2014 Masters? I’m out of luck.

And as personal as it may seem, I don’t think I’ll be the only person my age passing.

I struggle to see anyone in my generation who isn’t a golf nut caring about this weekend’s tournament. For almost all of my life, Tiger Woods has been making waves at the Masters. Tiger won his first in 1997. I was 8 years old when he first slung on the green jacket. I doubt people my age where watching the 1994 Masters with an intent eye in between naptime and craft-time in kindergarten.

This will be the first time Woods has missed the Masters when he’s been eligible to play.

Even a few months after his scandal hit, Woods was at Augusta, in the hunt on Saturday for his fifth Masters.

But this year, for the first time since Mrs. Wingerd’s class in third grade, the Master’s are Eldrickless.

And the PGA’s replacements don’t tickle my fancy either.

If you gave me a Rorschach test with each of these young golfers on the cusp of crossover superstardom, the first thought off the top of my head isn’t too promising.

Rickie Fowler? A guy who wears Puma with frayed hair and pink pants. Rory McIlroy? The guy with the tennis player. Adam Scott? An Australian with an American actor’s name.

The whole situation is the epitome of “it is what is.” It’s and not really anyone’s fault, it’s just unfortunate. Tiger is what makes the golfing world spin and his absence dampens interest in the event. Just watch. Even with him out this weekend, the majority of discussion on Monday will be about his absence and how it affected interest, ratings and intrigue.

I’ll still give it the occasional peek this weekend. A bunch of future old friends and I have a pool where we pick which players will have the lowest round, so I’ll be obligated to at least give it a lazy follow.

But other than that? I’ll pass.

How can you have the Masters without the master anyway?

COOS BAY — If Marshfield had its way, every inning would turn out like its third against Siuslaw on Tuesday.

The Pirates rode a six-run third inning to topple the Vikings 12-6 on Tuesday for Marshfield’s first Far West League win of the season.

With the win, Marshfield moves to 1-3 in Far West League play and 2-6 overall. The Vikings fell to 2-2 in league play and 3-3 overall.

“We’re like a train,” Marshfield head coach Brooke Toy said. “Once the girls get on a roll, it’s really hard to stop them.

“Like I’ve said a million times, we’ve got the best athletes, we just don’t play together sometimes. I think we played a lot better tonight together than we have.”

Six straight Pirates scored in the third, starting with shortstop Katelyn Rossback and not stopping until Sidney Baarstad drove in Makenzie Johnson and Jessica Kohl to put the Pirates up 8-0. Along the way, Carli Clarkson Abby Osborne and Paige Tavernier also crossed home for Marshfield.

Kohl went 2-for-3 with a couple of stolen bases, a run and an RBI. Hitting in the ninespot, Baarstad went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and a double. She was the eighth Pirate hitter during the rally. By the time Baarstad

“We don’t get a lot of rallies like that,” Baarstad said. “You get kind of nervous at first because you don’t want to be the person that stops the rally. You just get as many people (to the plate) as you can, hit it as far as you can and I think it worked out good (today).”

The lead was calming for starting pitcher Johnson. Pitchers love having run security in bunches, but the young Johnson was savvy enough to know to never get too comfortable with a lead.

“It’s relaxing, but you have to act like you

have a tie score and just pitch through it,” Johnson said.

The Pirates’ freshman ace had seven strikeouts in her second complete game of the year.

In the final two innings, Johnson started to get erratic with her control and gave up five runs. Rossback started double plays from her shorstop position in the fourth and sixth innings to stifle a pair of Siuslaw rallies.

Toy thought about giving Johnson some relief and had Tavernier warm- See related photos at ing up in the bullpen, but www.theworldlink.com. decided to ride with her starter to finish off the complete game.

“I was this close to going out there, but she told me she had it so I let her go one more,” Toy said.

The loss doesn’t sit well for Siuslaw and coach Sean O’Mara. Other than Ashlee Cole and Kylie Brandt — Cole went 3-for-3 with three runs and two doubles — O’Mara was not pleased with his team’s performance.

“We’re making way too many mistake, way too many errors. We have a young squad and they just don’t know the game well enough yet and make mistakes,” O’Mara said. “We’re still waiting for the team to give us games.”

Next up, Marshfield will go to North Bend for a Civil War doubleheader Friday. Siuslaw will host a twin bill with Douglas on Friday.

Jackson strikes out 16 in North Bend victory

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — With North Bend’s week featuring doubleheaders both Monday and Friday, Hunter Jackson said he needed to pitch a good game Tuesday against visiting Sutherlin.

He came through with a career night.

Jackson pitched a three-hitter with 16 strikeouts as North Bend won 3-1 in the Far West League’s battle of the Bulldogs. North Bend improved to 3-0 in league play after going winless in the presea-

son as it tries to repeat as league champion.

“It feels like it should,” said Marshall Rice, who had two of North Bend’s six hits Tuesday.

“It seems the past three games we’ve jelled more as a team,” Jackson added. “The attitude in the dugout is positive.”

Jackson gave his teammates plenty to be happy about while striking out every batter in Sutherlin’s lineup at least once.

The biggest two strikeouts came in the sixth inning, when Sutherlin loaded the bases with one out, aided by a rare defensive

miscue when both North Bend’s shortstop and second baseman had errors on a grounder tailormade for an inning-ending double play.

To that point, the only Sutherlin batter Jackson hadn’t struck out was pitcher Wryland McKnight, but he got him to chase a 1-2 curveball outside the strike zone. Jackson then struck out Zack Jones looking to end the threat.

“I think that’s the most strikeouts I’ve ever had a guy throw,” said North Bend coach Brad Horning.

Jackson’s previous outing didn’t go so well at Clyde Allen Field, but he dominated Sutherlin.

“I knew I would have to go pretty deep in the game,” Jackson said, adding that his money pitch Tuesday was his curveball.

“I threw more curveballs than fastballs, I think,” he said.

North Bend had three different pitchers throw at least 80 pitches in the doubleheader at South Umpqua on Tuesday, so Horning needed a good outing from Jackson.

NB earns softball win THE WORLD

The Associated Press

Connecticut center Stefanie Dolson and teammates celebrate with the championship trophy after beating Notre Dame on Tuesday.

UConn takes another title NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — With Breanna Stewart back for two more seasons, Geno Auriemma and UConn are in position to win a few more titles.

None may be sweeter than the record ninth championship the Huskies won Tuesday night in unprecedented fashion.

Connecticut reached the pinnacle in style, routing Notre Dame in the first NCAA women’s basketball championship game featuring undefeated teams.

Auriemma and his Huskies have one more title than Pat Summitt and Tennessee for most

all time, and they did it in the Hall of Famer’s backyard.

The 79-58 rout of the Irish capped the careers of seniors Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley.

The pair were the final remaining links to the Huskies’ NCAA-record 90-game winning streak that ended when they were freshman.

The duo finished their careers with back-to-back championships.

“It’s overwhelming,” an emotional Auriemma said. “Those two kids are two of the most unbelievable kids I’ve ever been around my SEE WOMEN | B2

North Bend’s softball team picked up its first Far West League win, beating host Sutherlin 13-12 on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs rallied from seven runs down to get the win.

On offense, Brittney Hammond was 2-for-5 with a triple for North Bend and Kadie Forderer went 2for-4 with a three-bagger of her own.

Patience Cook came in the third inning in relief and shut down the Sutherlin bats, giving up only one run in the final four innings while the Bulldogs made their comeback.

“It feels amazing to have our first league win,” North Bend coach Meghan Thomsen said.

“The girls seemed in the zone on the way there. They were ready for a win. Our hitting is finally cracked open.

“We played like a team today. It made me very proud.”

Sarah Merritt caught Tuesday and did well in place for Savannah Fugate, who got a break from working behind the plate.

“I just wanted to give her a shot,” Thomsen said. “She stepped up to the plate and did well.”

Local Recap

North Bend plays again Friday at home against Marshfield for a Civil War doubleheader.

Class 2A-1A District 2 Reedsport 17, Umpqua Valley Christian 1: The Braves scored nine runs in the first and added six in the second while pounding the visiting Monarchs in a league game.

Jessica Howell drove in three runs for the Braves and Bailey Tymchuk had two RBIs. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit.

“I was proud that the girls were able to time the pitches because they were a lot slower and not very accurate,” Reedsport coach Jennie Nelson said. “They had solid hits up the middle, which shows we’re really tracking the ball.”

Britney Manicke had eight strikeouts and allowed just two hits in the five-inning game.

The Braves visit league-leading Riddle on Friday and host Crow on Saturday.

Marcus Thornton scored 16 points and Paul Pierce added 14 for the Nets, who became the first team in the last two years to sweep the Heat. Miami was the only team in the league to beat every team last season and would have repeated that feat with a win Tuesday.

James had 29 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Heat, who remained a half-game ahead of Indiana, and one in the loss column, in the race for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Chris Bosh scored 12 and Norris Cole added 10 for Miami.

Thunder 107, Kings 92: Caron Butler made all six of his 3-point attempts to finish with 23 points, and Oklahoma City started the fourth quarter on a 16-0 run to pull away for the victory.

Kevin Durant scored 23 points but was never needed in the final quarter, stopping his streak of scoring at least 25 points in 41 consecutive games. Serge Ibaka added 19 points and four rebounds for the Thunder, who rested Russell Westbrook ahead of tonight’s game at the Los Angeles Clippers.

Oklahoma City (56-21) is 1 1⁄ 2 games ahead of the Clippers (55-23) for the Western Conference’s No. 2

Marshfield’s girls tennis team blanked visiting St. Mary’s 8-0 on Tuesday at the William J. Sweet Memorial Tennis Center.

The Pirates swept through the singles matches, losing just a total of nine games, and ended up winning three doubles matches that were stretched to three sets.

“The singles play was very impressive,” Marshfield coach Aron Boesl said. “They played smart and powerful tennis today.

“To win three doubles matches in the third set was really exciting.”

Desiree Guirado and Braeden Kennedy rallied after losing the first set at No. 1 doubles, dominating the last two. The same was the case for Madison Brugnoli and Elizabeth Kupfer at No. 4.

At No. 3 doubles, Katrina Garcia and Patrizia Cugnetto won the first set, lost the second, and needed a tiebreaker in the third, outlasting Becky Fuller-Phillips and Joanna Rhee 9-7 in the tiebreaker.

Abby Clough and Sarah Springael cruised to a win in the other doubles match, joining singles players Katie Boesl, Colleen Rayburn, Lindsay Brown and Emily Sigloh with easy wins.

Marshfield also got JV wins by Jody Zousel (her first victory) and doubles partners Shasta and Sierra Banks.

“The girls are really excited about their improvement,

Sutherlin won the girls

EUGENE — Oregon has hired Kelly Graves of Gonzaga as the new Ducks women’s basketball coach.

Graves has led Gonzaga to the NCAA tournament for the past six seasons, and the Bulldogs advanced to the Elite Eight in 2011. The team was a No. 6 seed this past season, the highest seeding in school history, before losing to James Madison in the opening game and finishing at 29-5.

Graves has gone 317-176 overall in 14 seasons at Gonzaga, leading the team to an unprecedented 10 straight West Coast Conference championships.

“I needed a new challenge,” Graves said at a news conference Tuesday. “This is something, professionally, that I was looking for. There’s only one position in this conference I would have left for, and it was Oregon.”

The 51-year-old Utah native replaces Paul Westhead, whose contract was not renewed. Westhead’s record was 65-90 and 27-64 in the Pac-12 over five seasons with the Ducks.

WOMEN From Page B1 whole life and to see their faces when they walked off the court, I don’t usually get this emotional, but this one got to me.”

While Auriemma loses his two seniors, he still has his sensational sophomore, who has won two national championships in her first two seasons and earned most outstanding player honors of the Final Four both times.

“I think that to be able to have two national championships under my belt means a lot,” Stewart said. “Each team has been different and I’m really happy we could send Stef and Bria off on this

Oregon has had just one winning season in the past seven years and was 16-16 this past season. The Ducks haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since 2005.

“Kelly Graves is one of the best coaches in women’s basketball and we are thrilled to have him lead our program,” Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said.

“Beyond what his teams have accomplished on the court, Kelly is a dynamic personality who will engage and energize our fan base.”

Graves, who was head coach at St. Mary’s before joining Gonzaga, signed a six-year deal with the Ducks.

He has previous ties to the state: He was once an assistant for the Portland Pilots.

His wife is from Portland and two of his three children were born in Oregon.

“We appreciate the tremendous success that was achieved during Kelly Graves’ tenure at Gonzaga and wish him well at Oregon,” Bulldogs athletic director Mike Roth said in a statement. “We will work hard to identify the very best candidate to build on what we have today.”

Stewart, The Associated Press Player of the Year, scored 21 points to lead the Huskies (40-0). Dolson added 17 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Auriemma took out his senior center with a minute left and the game well in hand with the pair embracing in a long hug.

“We beat a great, great team,” Auriemma said.“Notre Dame is a great team. For them to have the season they had and lose their starting center and to do what they did, I can’t say enough about their players, coaching staff and it took everything we have. I knew if we played great we’d have a chance to win.”

Young stays with Ducks

EUGENE (AP) — Oregon point guard Joseph Young says he’s returning to the Ducks for his senior season.

Young, who played for Oregon as a junior last season after transferring from Houston, made his announcement via Twitter on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-2 Young was the leading scorer this past season for the Ducks, who advanced to the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. He averaged 18.9 points per game and scored in double figures in 30 of 34 games.

Young also shot 41.5 percent from 3-point range and had an 88.1 free-throw percentage.

the college basketball world with both the men’s and women’s teams winning the championship in the same year again.

The men’s team beat Kentucky in the title game Monday night. This pair of victories come a decade after the Huskies became the only Division I school to accomplish the feat.

Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw congratulated the UConn coach when they shook hands after the game.

“I said something like, ‘I thought we were playing the Miami Heat for a while you guys are just that good.’

What a great season, you know things like that,” McGraw said. “I thought ...

LeBron was the only thing

BOYS TENNIS St. Mary’s 5, North Bend 3: Jacob Gage and Brant Hamner won singles matches for North Bend, which also got a win at No. 1 doubles by the pair of James Jordan and Stewart Lyons.

Gage lost the first set 6-2, but bounced back to win the other two by matching 6-3 scores.

“Jacob got to every ball and made his opponent play extra balls,” Hood said. “It was a great win for him.

“Our doubles teams also played well.”

St. Mary’s 7, Marshfield 1: The Pirates got their lone win at No. 4 doubles, where the team of Tom Brown and Auden Quinones won the first set in a tiebreaker, lost the second and then took the third set 10-8 in a super-set tiebreaker.

and our depth is becoming more apparent with each match,” Aron Boesl said.

North Bend 7, St. Mary’s 1: The Bulldogs swept the doubles matches on their home courts.

Allie West, MacKenzee Scott and McKenna Reasor had wins in the singles matches for North Bend, which also got doubles wins by the pairs of Taylor Cuzzort and Hannah SchandelmeierLynch, Payton Smith and Raegan Spence; Karen LaGesse and Bailey Lyon and Abbey Knight and Renee Thompson.

North Bend coach Dustin Hood said West was able to grind out a win in the lone singles match that went three sets. She won the third set 6-4.

they were missing.”

They didn’t need him.

The names change at UConn, from Rebecca Lobo to Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and now the Huskies have Stewart, just as much of a matchup nightmare in the women’s game as James is in the NBA. But the one constant for UConn has been Auriemma, winning nine titles in only 20 seasons — including the past two.

Auriemma has never lost in a national championship game.

The loss was Notre Dame’s third in the title game in the past four years. Kayla McBride finished off her stellar career with 21 points to lead the Irish.

BULLDOGS From Page B1 “I think that’s a huge deal with Hunter throwing a complete game today,” he said.

Horning wasn’t surprised by how efficient Jackson was.

“He pounds the strike zone,” the coach said. “And he gave depth to the curve ball.”

Jackson also had a big hit on a night when offense was scarce for both teams.

North Bend manufactured runs in the first and third innings.

Rice led off the first with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Cory Chatelle and came home on a wild pitch. Two innings later, Tyler Laskey had a bunt single to lead off the inning and moved up on a sacrifice by Coy Woods, scoring on a skyhigh single by Chatelle that Sutherlin’s first and second basemen and right fielder couldn’t get to.

In the fourth, Jonathan Bennison clubbed a double to deep right field and Jackson followed with a ball just inside the bag at first base for an RBI double.

Those three runs were plenty given how Jackson pitched.

team title and North Bend took the boys title.

Drae Stark won the 100, 200 and triple jump and Josh Kimble won the shot put and discus for North Bend.

Coquille girls win: The Red Devils finished first in an eight-team meet at Waldport on Tuesday, led by Darian Wilson, who won the long jump (16-0) and 800 (2:45.62) with new personal bests. Anna Sweeney won the 1,500 and was second to Wilson in the 800.

Coquille’s boys finished second behind powerful Central Linn.

Brandon Bowen won the shot put (48-1) and was second in the discus (129-9) behind East Linn Christian’s Blake Warren, who moved up to eighth in the state in all classifications with his throw of 148-9.

Coquille also got wins by Brad Romine in the high jump, Zach Breitkreutz in the javelin and Elijah Dill in the 400. Tristan Dixon took over the Class 3A lead in the pole vault by clearing 13 feet while placing second in the event.

Sutherlin didn’t score until the seventh. Cody Brownson walked to lead off the inning and Noah Caillier hit a single to left. Dustin Eakin brought Brownson home with a ground out to second base.

Fittingly, Jackson struck out Jace Martineau and Wyatt McKnight to end the game.

Horning also gave credit to catcher Zach Inskeep for blocking the few pitches that were off-target by Jackson.

Though Sutherlin had runners on base in all but one inning, Jackson had just two wild pitches to advance runners.

“Inskeep did a great job keeping balls in front of him today,” Horning said.

Next up for North Bend is the first baseball rivalry matchup with Marshfield since the Pirates joined the Far West League last fall, a doubleheader in Coos Bay. Rice and Jackson said they’re looking forward to playing against their summer Babe Ruth and American Legion teammates.

“We don’t focus on any team except the next team we’re playing, and now it’s Marshfield,” Jackson said.

“It’s pretty big,” added Rice.

Lakers extend Kupchak deal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has agreed to a multiyear contract extension late in one of the worst seasons in franchise history.

Los Angeles announced its new deal for Kupchak late in the fourth quarter of a 145-130 loss to the H o u s to n Rockets.

Kupchak had one year left on his current contract.

The Lakers’ latest defeat was their 53rd of the season, matching the franchise record set in 1958. Kupchak has a wholesale rebuilding job in store with the Lakers, who will miss the playoffs for just the third time since 1976.

Kupchak has been in the Lakers’ front office since the three-time NBA champion center’s playing career ended in 1986. The longtime apprentice to Jerry West largely took charge of the Lakers’ basketball operations after West’s departure in 2000.

Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun hits a solo home run in front of Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz during the fourth inning Tuesday. Braun homered three times in the game.

Braun homers three times in win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Braun hit three home runs and tied a franchise record with seven RBIs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers over Philadelphia 10-4 Tuesday, spoiling the Phillies’ home opener.

Coming off a three-game sweep of the World Series champion Boston NL Red Sox at Fenway Park, the Brewers Recap won their fourth straight game and improved to 5-2.

Kyle Lohse (1-1) allowed three runs and seven hits, walking five.

Braun connected twice off Kyle Kendrick (0-1), snapping the longest homerless drought of his career. The 2011 NL MVP came in with only three singles in 20 at-bats this season.

But Braun, who is bothered by a right thumb injury, felt just fine, as usual, in Philadelphia. He has 10 homers and 21 RBIs in 20 career games at Citizens Bank Park.

Giants 7, Diamondbacks 3: Michael Morse hit a two-run single to back Tim Hudson as each made memorable home debuts with their new team, and Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer for San Francisco.

Hudson (2-0) shut down the Dbacks for the second time in seven days with an eight-inning gem in his first outing at AT&T Park since agreed to a $23 million, two-year contract in November.

Belt’s drive off Trevor Cahill (0-3) gave him five homers and the Giants a majors-leading 12.

Nationals 5, Marlins 0: Gio Gonzalez threw six crisp innings to lead Washington.

Gonzalez allowed three singles and two walks. He allowed one baserunner to get as far as second, and struck out five hitters. He retired his last 10 batters and is 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA. Adam LaRoche had three hits and drove in a run. Anthony Rendon went 2 for 4 with three RBIs as Washington improved to 5-2.

Miami entered an NL-best 5-2, a year after finishing with a league-high 100 losses. Led by Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins were averaging a majorsbest six runs a game, but they couldn’t solve Gonzalez or four relievers.

Mets 4, Braves 0: Bartolo Colon combined with two relievers on an eight-hitter, Ruben Tejada drove in two runs with two hits and New York beat Atlanta.

The 40-year-old Colon (1-1) was dominant through seven innings. He gave up six hits and no walks, struck out five and didn’t allow more than one baserunner in any inning until the seventh as he outpitched Atlanta’s Aaron Harang (1-1).

Cardinals 7, Reds 5: Matt Holliday hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning that glanced off right fielder Jay Bruce’s glove on the warning track and St. Louis beat Cincinnati.

Yadier Molina homered and Peter Bourjos had three hits and an RBI to help the Cardinals clinch their 26th series win to go with three losses and two splits since 2003 against Cincinnati.

Bruce appeared to have a bead on Holliday’s two-out drive with two on against Logan Ondrusek (0-1), but had

to jump a bit at the last instant and the ball glanced off his glove as the Cardinals took a 6-5 lead. Bourjos added an RBI single in the seventh off J.J. Hoover.

Pirates 7, Cubs 6: Pedro Alvarez had two hits and two RBIs and Pittsburgh overcame two home runs by Starlin Castro.

Russell Martin drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning for Pittsburgh and Jason Grilli closed with a perfect ninth.

INTERLEAGUE Dodgers 3, Tigers 2, 10 innings: Carl Crawford hit an RBI double in the 10th inning, lifting Los Angeles over Detroit.

Austin Jackson homered for the Tigers in an interleague matchup between division winners from last season.

White Sox 15, Rockies 3: Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia each hit two of Chicago’s six homers.

Tyler Flowers and Alexei Ramirez also went deep for the first time this season.

Indians 8, Padres 6: David Murphy hit a three-run homer and had four RBIs as Cleveland took advantage of outdoor batting practice and San Diego’s sloppiness in their delayed interleague series opener.

Murphy’s shot in the fourth inning gave the Indians a 6-2 lead. He added an RBI double in the sixth and is 6 for 8 with five RBIs in his past two games.

The Indians were rained out for the second time Monday and have endured wintry conditions so far at home.

They’ve only had BP on the field twice and have scored 15 runs in those games.

Rangers turn two often against Boston THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Robinson Chirinos started a five-run third inning with his first homer of the season and the Texas Rangers won 10-7 as the Boston Red Sox hit into five double plays Tuesday night.

The Red Sox scored three runs in the ninth against Joakim Soria on an RBI single

by Jonny Gomes and a tworun double by David Ortiz, but Mike Napoli struck out to end the game.

Boston’s five double plays were one fewer than the American League record for a nine-inning game shared by eight teams. The major league mark of seven was set by the San Francisco Giants in 1969.

All of them came against Martin Perez (1-0).

Orioles 14, Yankees 5: Delmon Young, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters homered as

RECAP From Page B1 After an Andrew Sharp triple and run knotted up the score at 3 in the fifth, Marshfield unraveled in the bottom of the sixth inning, The Pirates let the Vikings get the bases loaded then Marshfield did what their coach Scott Carpenter called “mental mistakes” and the game blew wide open.

“We played six innings of pretty solid baseball. It was just little mental errors and they just capitalized,” Carpenter said.

On the mound, Alec Millican pitched what his

Baltimore teed off for 20 hits, battering New York.

Young and Wieters each drove in three runs, and Jones delivered one of the Orioles’ four doubles at a half-empty Yankee Stadium.

Everyone in Baltimore’s starting lineup got a hit and scored a run. The Orioles posted their second-highest hit total in the Bronx,eclipsed only by a 22-hit outburst in AL 1986.

Wei-Yin Recap Chen (1-1) weathered five innings for the win, giving up four runs and nine hits.

Rays 1, Royals 0: James Loney hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning to lift Tampa Bay over Kansas City.

Rays starter Chris Archer wriggled out of two basesloaded jams and went seven innings in an impressive

pitchers’ duel between top young arms. Royals rookie Yordano Ventura dazzled in his season debut, holding Tampa Bay to two hits in six shutout innings.

Loney’s grounder to right scored Wil Myers, who snapped an 0-for-15 slump when he reached on an infield single to start the ninth.

Myers advanced on a twoout wild pitch by Greg Holland (0-1).

Mariners 5, Angels 3: Corey Hart hit a three-run homer and a solo shot, sending Seattle past Los Angeles in its home opener.

The Mariners became the final major league team to open at home and improved to 4-0 against the Angels this season. Before the game, a sold-out crowd at Safeco Field gave Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll and other members of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks a raucous ovation.

Seattle scored four times with two outs in the third inning, capped by Hart’s three-run drive off starter Hector Santiago (0-2).

Mariners starter James Paxton (2-0) gave up firstinning homers to Albert Pujols and David Freese, then retired 14 straight.

Pujols hit his first homer of the season and became the second active player with 1,500 career RBIs. Blue Jays 5, Astros 2: Melky Cabrera homered for the fourth straight game, Jose Bautista also went deep and Toronto handed Houston its fifth loss in six games.

Cabrera hit a two-run shot off reliever Kevin Chapman in the seventh.

Cabrera has hit more home runs in eight games this season than he did in 88 last year, when he missed time with leg injuries before having a benign tumor removed from his spine on Aug. 30.

coached called “lights out” for the Pirates until the sixth. Millican went 5 2-3 innings before Tyler Campbell relieved him for the last out.

All in all, Carpenter is optimistic with how his team performed Tuesday, even if it wasn’t the full seven innings.

“It’s nice to play six innings of hard baseball but they’re seven innings for a reason,” he said. “But it’s a step to where we want to be and as long as we’re improving I’m happy with it.”

The Pirates will host North Bend on Friday for a Civil War doubleheader.

Class 2A-1A District 4

Nonleague

UVC 10, Reedsport 0: Umpqua Valley Christian pitcher Kyler Werkheiser stymied the Braves and the Monarchs took advantage of sloppy fielding to win the game at Reedsport.

Werkheiser gave up just two hits while handing the Braves their first league loss.

Meanwhile, Reedsport committed seven errors, including three in the fifth inning, when UVC scored five runs on just two hits.

Greg Suhrstedt and Ian Graham each had two hits and an RBI for the Monarchs.

Reedsport is on the road Friday against Riddle.

Glide 10, Gold Beach 0: The Wildcats blanked the visiting Panthers in a fiveinning game Tuesday as Tylan Dubois pitched a three-hitter.

Cory Finlay had a double and triple and drove in three runs for the Wildcats. Tanner Shaddy also had two hits, including a double.

The Wildcats led just 3-0 before scoring six runs in the fourth.

Gold Beach opens league play with a doubleheader at Myrtle Point on Saturday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Warren will leave school early for NBA draft RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State sophomore T.J. Warren is taking his high-scoring game to the NBA. In a statement released by the school, the Atlantic Coast Conference’s player of the year said he had “a fun ride” but was ready to enter the NBA draft.

“Playing in the NBA has been a lifelong dream of mine, and playing at N.C. State has prepared me well to achieve my dream,” Warren said.

Manning thinks his new team can improve quickly WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Wake Forest is hoping Danny Manning can turn around its slumping basketball team. No miracles needed.

The former Kansas star is taking over the project of rebuilding the Demon Deacons, and he thinks his new team is closer than recent results might indicate.

“We have aspirations of being a championship team,” Manning said during his formal on-campus introduction. “We want to cut down nets, and we have to put forth the work. ... I’m willing to roll up my sleeves, and let’s go get it.”

The centerpiece of the Jayhawks’ “Danny and the Miracles” 1988 national title team was hired last week to replace Jeff Bzdelik, who resigned under intense public pressure three weeks ago following four mostly unremarkable seasons.

Bison stay in program to hire new men’s coach FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State stayed in house for its men’s basketball opening, promoting David Richman to head coach on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Richman has been an assistant for the Bison for the last 11 years. It’s the first head coaching job for the Wahpeton native.

Richman takes over for Saul Phillips, who took the top job at Ohio after leading the Bison to their first win in the NCAA tournament this season.

Cancer-stricken friend of Spartan star dies DETROIT — The father of an 8-year-old girl with cancer who befriended Michigan State basketball star Adreian Payne says his daughter has died.

Matt Holsworth says Lacey Holsworth died at their St. Johns, Mich., home late Tuesday “with her mommy and daddy holding her in their arms.”

Lacey met Payne during one of her hospital stays two years ago, and their friendship quickly blossomed and strengthened.

When it was Payne’s turn to be honored during Senior Night, the 6-foot-10 center

scooped up Lacey and carried her around the court. He did it again in Indianapolis after Michigan State won the Big Ten tournament, and the little girl with the blond wig was there when he took part in a recent slam-dunk competition.

NHL Canucks fire president after missing playoffs VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Vancouver Canucks fired president and general manager Mike Gillis on Tuesday, a day after being eliminated from playoff contention.

Gillis took over as general manager from the fired Dave Nonis after the 2007-08 season. The Canucks advanced to the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals under Gillis before losing to Boston, and since then the team has been in a steady decline.

The Canucks lost in the first round of the playoffs for two straight seasons before missing the post-season entirely for the first time since 2008.

TRACK AND FIELD Jamaican sprinter faces 18-month ban KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaican Olympic sprinter Sherone Simpson was banned from her sport until Dec. 20 after testing positive for a banned substance.

The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission on Tuesday said Simpson was “negligent in all the circumstances.” The 18month ban began from the date of her sample collection on June 21, 2013.

The commission also banned Jamaican Olympic discus thrower Allison Randall for two years. She will not be able to compete until June 2015. Her ban also started June 21, 2013.

Simpson, an Olympic 4x100-relay gold and silver medalist, has said she was not a “cheat” and never intentionally took the stimulant oxilofrone.

BASEBALL Batkid throws out first pitch in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO — The Batkid stole hearts in San Francisco once more, with thousands cheering the young boy at the ballpark for the Giants home opener.

Miles Scott, who has undergone treatment for leukemia and saved the city as his favorite superhero through Make-A-Wish Foundation in November, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Diamondbacks-Giants game Tuesday.

He helped steer the Batmobile into the stadium and raised his right hand into the air out the window, walked hand in hand to the mound with pitcher Matt Cain and even received a fist bump from left fielder Michael Morse from across the dugout rail.

His form wasn’t bad, either. The boy kicked his right leg back and fired an on-target fastball to Cain as thousands in the sellout crowd of 42,166 roared.

SOCCER Major League soccer close to deal in Atlanta ATLANTA — Major League Soccer is closing in on a deal with Falcons owner Arthur Blank to bring an expansion franchise to Atlanta’s new downtown stadium.

A top official from Blank’s parent company, K im Schreckengost, said Tuesday negotiations continue and “we hope to complete an agreement soon.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported a new team will be announced April 16.

The MLS has long coveted the Atlanta market, the largest in the U.S. without a franchise, as it moves toward its goal of 24 teams.

The 19-team league already has announced new franchises in New York and Orlando that are scheduled to begin play next season. There also is a provisional franchise in Miami owned by a group led by David Beckham.

11 simple strategies for smart living TOY BUCKET. Use a large plastic bucket to store children’s plastic toys. Drill seve r a l drainage EVERYDAY holes in CHEAPSKATE the bottom of t h e bucket, and you can wash the toys in the bathtub or outdoors Mary with the Hunt h o s e when the kids are finished playing.

EXTRA CASH. If you get paid every two weeks, you have probably settled into living on that same amount each month. And you know that twice a year you receive a third paycheck in a month.

Since you live within your means on two paychecks, the other 10 months, plan to use these two “extra paychecks” to boost your savings account, fund your holiday shopping or get a jump on a college fund.

FREE HELP. Many credit unions offer counseling to members, and it’s absolutely free and not reported to the credit bureaus. Check that out before considering other types of credit counseling if you are a member of a credit union.

MEASURE N’ SAVE. You may be using too much detergent when you do the laundry. Read the box to determine the amount of detergent recommended.

You might find that the manufacturer’s plastic cup holds almost twice the recommended amount. When the cup is filled, the box will hardly wash half the number of loads indicated in the directions. Instead, replace the cup included in the box with your own 1⁄3 cup dry measuring cup. Now you’ll get twice as many loads per box of detergent as before.

THIS FOR THAT. Have a craving for yogurt? Don’t sweat it. Cottage cheese blended until smooth makes an excellent cup-for-cup substitute for plain yogurt.

ARMY TRICK. After polishing and buffing white tennis shoes, use an old Army trick and spray them lightly with shellac. They keep a nice, polished look for a while and wipe clean easily.

CLEANING CREAM. Who says shaving cream is just for our bodies? You can use shaving cream to remove hairspray from walls, woodwork and mirrors in your bathroom. It works great and leaves no nasty fumes or smells.

50-CENT SOLUTION. To clean your silver without harsh commercial chemical products, use the miracle powder in your pantry: baking soda. Make a thick paste of baking soda and water and massage in gently with an old, ragged, soft toothbrush. Wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry well.

Warning: You may never go back to $10 cleaners once you try the 50-cent solution.

DISPOSAL FRESHENER. Instead of throwing citrus peels into the trash, throw them into your disposal. The oils from the peels do a great job of cleaning and refreshing the disposal.

T O O L C A D D Y . Use a terra-cotta flowerpot to hold all your kitchen-cleaning tools under the sink. The terra cotta absorbs moisture, and that will help to keep your tools dry and rust-free.
