The tall ships are here

By Lou Sennick, The World

Daisy Arquero, on the deck of the Hawaiian Chieftain, tosses a line to Jas Malidore as they tie up to the Coos Bay City Dock on Wednesday morning. The tall ship arrived a day earlier than scheduled, with the Lady Washington following into port about an hour later. The boats will take Thursday off for maintenance and crew training and will begin their schedule of activities Friday as planned.

Walk-on tours begin Friday THE WORLD Once again, giant sails have been unfurled over Coos Bay. The Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, operated by the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, will be docked on the Coos Bay waterfront through May 11 as part of Tall Ship Days. The Lady Washington, a 112-foot

replica of a 1700s trading ship, has been visiting the Bay Area for more than 15 years. New this year, the ships are planning to offer visitors the opportunity to go aloft in the rigging in a harness, under the supervision of crew members. The ships will hold walk-on tours May 2, 3 and 6-11, and will be offering sails during mock cannon battles on

the bay. The Hawaiian Chieftain will hold adventure and evening sails May 3, 4 and 7, and the Lady Washington will offer the same May 10-11. An organized pub crawl will be held the second weekend. For information on prices, times and ancillary activities, take a look at What’s Up! on Page A3 inside this edition of The World.

Josephine County will vote on public safety tax GRANTS PASS (AP) — For the third time in two years, Josephine County will vote on whether to raise property taxes to pay for public safety. This time, supporters hope to overcome the distrust of government that has sunk past levies by seeking a smaller tax increase focused on restoring full capacity at the jail, so criminals won’t be back on the street soon after their arrest. “This challenge has to be overcome to keep this community a nice place to live,” said Jay Meredith, city finance director and president of the group Securing Our Safety, which put the $8 million per year levy on the ballot. “I think enough people are fed up with what we have experienced over time to say that’s not how we want to live. We don’t want to live in a community that can’t take care of folks committing crimes against us.” Jim Rafferty is co-founder of the group We’re for Constitutional Government, owns a business selling hardwoods and cabinet hardware, and ran unsuccessfully for county commissioner in 2006. He said people cannot afford the higher taxes, which amount to $238 a year on a $200,000 house. Josephine County has a lot of retired people on fixed incomes, wages are low, and jobs are hard to come by. “If you can afford it, why don’t you go ahead and pay your share over and above the property tax?” he said. “Why not? They’ll take donations.” Josephine County once received enough money from federal logging revenues that it did not have to charge property taxes. That all came crashing down in the 1990s, when the federal government cut logging on federal timberlands to protect the northern spotted owl, salmon and clean water. Since then, one subsidy after another has been provided by Congress to make up for the lost money, but in recent years, the amount has diminished, with no guarantee it will be renewed. Timber counties throughout southwestern Oregon face similar funding problems. Only Lane County has SEE JOSEPHINE | A8

GRANTS PASS (AP) — A city in the heart of Southern Oregon’s marijuana-growing country is asking a judge to decide whether the new state law authorizing the sale of medical marijuana through dispensaries complies with the state and U.S. constitutions. A lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Josephine County Circuit Court by the city of Cave Junction. It names as defendants the state of Oregon, the governor and the Oregon Health Authority. Cave Junction city attorney Ryan Kirchoff said the city wants to resolve the conflict between federal law, which prohibits the sale of marijuana, and the state law authorizing the sale of medical marijuana. He notes that like many other cities, Cave Junction prohibits issuing a business license to anyone violating federal law. “It’s not about the politics of marijuana,” Kirchoff said. “It’s about the rule of law and the status of cities and counties and institutions, many of which are home-rule entities that would like to manage this themselves, but are stuck with the inevitable conflict.” Like Cave Junction, many local governments have federal grants and city charters requiring them to comply with federal law and ordinances denying business licenses to anyone violating federal law, Kirchoff said. The lawsuit argues that federal law pre-empts state law, under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, so the city does not have to follow the state law on marijuana dispensaries. The state law also lacks specific language pre-empting local law, which is required by the state constitution, the lawsuit adds. The Oregon Department of Justice has not seen the lawsuit and had no comment, spokeswoman Kristina Edmunson said. The Cave Junction City Council voted Monday night against adopting a moratorium, preserving its legal

Did you know? Did you know that there were no dentists on the Mayflower? It’s true! When the Mayflower landed in 1620 there were no dentists on board. The first barber dentists arrived in 1630, and began helping the Pilgrims, by pulling teeth that had not been cared for in ten years. And the toothbrush hadn’t been invented yet. What a job! We’ve come a long way! With excellent dental care from Dr. Strong, you will protect your teeth, look great, and feel even better. With dental implants, you can now keep your smile for a lifetime!

Company’s coming; time to spruce up Our view You’ve got another opportunity this Saturday to help clean up the community and get ready for our annual visitors.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Last Saturday’s United Way of Southwestern Oregon’s Day of Caring seemed to improve on previous years. According to United Way Executive Director Bill Harsh, about 220 folks showed up to help folks in need with household chores. That’s more than the 205 who showed up last year, and the 180 who volunteered two years ago. By all accounts, that sounds like another successful year. But last Saturday was also a nasty day, weatherwise. Maybe you thought about

volunteering, then turned around at the door when you saw how blustery it was going to be that day. Well, you have another opportunity to help spruce up the community. We thought this would be the perfect time to remind you all about the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce’s Brigade My Town Highway 101 Cleanup competition this Saturday. The chamber came up with the idea late last year and volunteers have been planning ever since. The effort is intended to clean up our main tourist thorough-

fare in time for National Tourism Week. To get involved, volunteers are encouraged to sign up individually or, more preferably, to form teams roughly aligned with either the Coos Bay Pirates, the North Bend Bulldogs or the Southwestern Oregon Community College Lakers. The event kicks off at 9 a.m. at the Coos Bay Visitor Center, where you’ll pick up supplies and instructions for picking up garbage and removing weeds. The event ends at 11 a.m. with a barbecue at the North Bend fire hall. The winning trash pick-

up team gets a trophy. The weather forecast for this Saturday is looking pretty good right now, so what else you got going this Saturday morning? To sign up as an individual or a group, contact either: PIRATES: Kim Payne at Knife River, 541-269-1915, kim.payne@kniferiver.com; BULLDOGS: Rachel Richardson, Realtor, 541404-3160, rachel@rachelrichardsonrealtor.com; or LAKERS: Michelle Benoit, mbenoit@socc.edu. We hope to see you Saturday. We’ll be there.

New push for sensible gun laws Last week, as the cherry blossoms made their annual debut in Washington, D.C., the Capitol marked another anniversary: A year ago, Congress failed the nation by refusing to fix our broken gun background check system. In the year since, tens of thousands more Americans — our mothers, our fathers, our friends — have been killed with guns. Many of them would still be with us if a minority of senators hadn’t blocked progress. By the way, this is not a tough political issue. Fully 90 percent of Americans, including 82 percent of gun owners and 74 percent of NRA members, think every gun buyer should pass a criminal background check. So why has progress been so difficult, while 33 more of us are murdered with guns each and every day? For decades, the National Rifle Association has been the only game in town. Its grassroots strength is real; its members care, and they vote; and the group rewards and punishes candidates with financial support. Without an effective counterbalance, members of Congress who want to do the right thing know they face the wrath — and the money — of the NRA, perhaps the toughest special interest around. So they avoid the issue. And,as a result,the United States has a gun murder up to 20 times higher rate DONNA than the average rate of BRAZILE other wealthy nations. But all that is starting to Columnist After the change. Newtown, Conn., shooting, a group of moms, mayors, gun violence survivors and citizens who just want their kids to come home from school each night are building a new movement for gun safety. And it’s already showing that we can win — and do no damage to the Second Amendment. Enter a new organization called Everytown for Gun Safety, which recently announced plans to build the kind of counterweight we need to offset the power of the NRA.This coalition of mayors and more than 1.5 million grassroots supporters is already winning major victories where it counts: in states nationwide. In Washington and Wisconsin, this group helped lead the fight to pass laws that will remove guns from the hands of domestic abusers. In Tennessee, members beat back a law that would have allowed open carrying of loaded guns in public parks — where our kids play. And just this week, they persuaded Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona to veto two bills that would have allowed guns in government buildings, and would have severely penalized local officials who passed common-sense gun laws. They’re also doing the real work of an effective movement: building the grassroots. The group’s Gun Sense Voter project aims to mobilize fully a million Americans to pledge to support candidates who will fight for common-sense gun laws. And Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and founder of the group, has personally pledged $50 million through the midterms to offset the NRA’s election spending. That means candidates will finally have what they need: someone who will have their backs when they take risks to keep their people safe. It’s also important to keep talking to gun owners, whose concerns are genuine, and who deserve respect. A good place to start that conversation is Colorado. Last year, that state — which has a strong tradition of gun ownership, and a libertarian streak a mile wide — passed a law requiring background checks for all handgun sales. In the short time that law has been in place, more than 160 prohibited gun buyers have been blocked. They were felons, domestic abusers, the seriously mentally ill, and others who have no business with a firearm. At the same time, Coloradans bought more guns in 2013 than in any previous year. The lesson here? Background checks work. Colorado is a lot safer today. And the Second Amendment is firmly in place.

Letters to the Editor CEP plan treats us like mushrooms Are you a mushroom? Apparently many elected and appointed politicians believe that we are. Mushrooms require being kept in the dark and fed lots of crap. Several letters supporting the South Coast Community Foundation have been posted here recently. These letters find fault with those who oppose the Community Enhancement Plan that is intended to assure that the monies for our schools that may go to those organizations as taxes, and via Salem, will be retained here. Recently, the city official tasked with drafting SCCF bylaws that are acceptable to the community argued that she must hurry to get this job done to meet self-imposed and meaningless deadlines, and because the Jordan Cove Energy groundbreaking will happen soon. Huh! Does she know something that we don’t? Problem — nobody is arguing against the SCCF or the CEP, or keeping money local. There are no fools among us.People don’t want to be mushrooms, and they are arguing that the SCCF emphasis on keeping you, the citizen, the owners of that money, uninvolved and in the dark, is wrong. They argue against the three selfappointed SCCF officers/directors who you did not and will not elect or appoint, and over whom you have no control. They are concerned that the parent of Jordan Cove Energy has not agreed in writing to give the people one cent of the money that proponents say will be coming our way. The cart is before the horse. They argue that the SCCF articles of incorporation and bylaws, as written, offer no benefit to the average citizen. And they are angry because three people have apparently been working hidden from public view for 10 years with Jordan Cove Energy on this SCCF matter. SCCF proponents set forth a “trust us” argument. Like Allstate, we are in the capable hands of three pillars of the community — some among us have disagreed. Problem — one of the three pillars intends to resign from SCCF soon; a second has made veiled threats to do the same. Who are the unknown pillars who we will be

trusting with our money in the future? Some proponents tie SCCF to jobs. The subjects are unrelated. It’s your money! Ask the politicians who have a fiduciary responsibility to you why they don’t want you involved in the SCCF matter. Don’t they trust us? Fred Kirby Coos Bay

CEP just more snake oil I see in the Saturday, April 26 edition of The World,that the cost of the “advance” of our tax dollars by Jordan Cove is going to cost us all 3.65 percent interest. I had just last week heard that we’d be paying interest at 8 percent. But how can one know? Nothing is in writing. I see in the assessor’s pie charts that the distribution, ignoring Urban Renewal, to the county with regular taxation will be 15.82 percent. However, in his pie chart that distributes the proposed Jordan Cove “Community Service Fee,” the county only takes 9.25 percent. That’s roughly a 41 percent reduction to the county,with similar reductions to the other involved taxing districts. And don’t forget to subtract the interest payment. I hear Commissioner John Sweet telling local contractors’ workers they’ll each be making $80,000 a year when Jordan Cove kicks in. But then, why will our local contractors be building that North Bend workers encampment for 2100 out-of-area workers? And there was the erudite Humanist who was heard to pronounce that if we didn’t trust these three peerless, tireless, selfless volunteer leaders, then we needed to look inside ourselves and find out what our trust issues are. If you want to look inside something to find trust issues, I suggest you look inside Wim DeVriend’s book “The Job Messiahs.” It is a documented foray into 40 years of public boondoggles, snake oil and useless wastes of money (yours). This latest scheme may well be the center crown jewel in his opus. Ronnie Herne Coquille

Sale of Elliott is loss for us all

Kudlac has a right to your vote

We are about to lose the Elliott State Forest as a direct consequence of Cascadia Wildlands/Forest Defenders. If you ever donated money to these organizations, you should hang your head in shame. Not only have they forced the sale of the forest but they have guaranteed the state will not receive a fair price, by threatening any prospective buyers with law suits. Let me list the consequences of Cascadia’s actions: 1. Transfer of state forest to private forest, guaranteeing more clearcuts. 2. Loss of revenue to schools. 3. Loss of sale price due to threats. 4. Loss of recreation access (new owners will be forced to gate to keep protesters out). 5. Possible subdivisions on what was forest land. The sales so far went for 10 cents on the dollar. Makes you wonder if Cascadia is in league with the timber companies. Harvey Wilcox North Bend

We, the people, face challenges in our daily lives that we are not immune from. However, in the recent judicial race, affecting both Coos and Curry counties, it seems feathers are being ruffled, and I get a feeling that some think judges should run unopposed. Since 2008 there have been over 70 incumbent judges on the ballot for Oregon voters. Only three of those positions were challenged with an opponent. It appears that once elected, the position of judge becomes a life sentence of guaranteed employment, never again having to answer to the voters who pay their salary.In some cases,the governor may appoint the position if it becomes vacant mid-term and the judge appointed may never answer to the voters. In the judicial race this year in Coos and Curry Counties, an incumbent who was appointed by the governor has never had to run against an opponent for her position. Shala McKenzie Kudlac is challenging her. I have confidence that the voters of Coos and Curry counties will not simply, and blindly, follow those who believe they are immune from scrutiny, that voters will do their research and realize that the challenger is qualified, experienced and ready to go to work to improve our communities. Our Constitution is in place for a reason and any one person has the right to run against an incumbent for any position they choose. We teach our children to work hard and they can achieve anything. We don’t tell them the underdog never wins. Join me in voting for Shala McKenzie Kudlac 15th District Circuit Court judge, Position 6. Tonya Casady Myrtle Point

Musicians have ideas on library A couple of weeks ago, my friends Jan Doyle, Ed Swenson and I, who are musicians in the Bay Area Concert Band, were on our way to band rehearsal. We were discussing The World’s article about the sinking of the Coos Bay library, and the $6 million, or more, cost of either building another facility or repairing the present building. Jan, the flute player, suggested that a much more economical move would be to move the library to the empty building that housed the K-Mart store on Ocean Boulevard. Does the library have to be in central Coos Bay? If so, where? Isn’t most of Coos Bay built on a giant mud puddle? Ed, the euphonium player; and I, the bass tuba player; thought that the move to the old K-Mart building would certainly cost less than $6 or $7 million. We couldn’t say how much less, after all, we’re only musicians. Jack H. Wilson Coquille

Obituaries and State Couples Record-breaking find heat throughout common western Oregon ground DEAR ABBY: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing to support â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feeling Coerced in San Diegoâ&#x20AC;? (Feb. 14), who is uncomfortable attending church with her husband. I understand her feelings because I, too, am an atheist in a relationship with a religious man. There is another option besides abstaining from church or attending only on major holidays, and that would be for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coercedâ&#x20AC;? and her husband to try a different church. One religion that embraces atheist church members is Unitarian Universalism. UU congregations are often made up of people from different backgrounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Christian, Jewish, atheist and more. The focus of the sermons is on living a good life, treating other people and our planet with respect, and following oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own path to spiritual enlightenment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coercedâ&#x20AC;? and her husband could both feel at home in such a congregation. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CHELSEA IN WICHITA DEAR CHELSEA: Thank you for your suggestion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that was echoed by many other readers. I have mentioned the Unitarian DEAR Universalist denomination and its website ( u u a .o rg ) before in my column. Readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comments w e r e enlightenJEANNE PHILLIPS ing: D E A R ABBY: I, too, am in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mixed marriage.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m religious and my husband is an atheist. We agree to disagree on the matter. Religion (or lack of it) is a very personal thing, and however we feel, we owe each other respect for our different views. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coercedâ&#x20AC;? is great for trying to accommodate her husband, but now that they see it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, he should stop pressuring her. She can refrain from going to services, but should consider attending the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social events. This solution worked well for us. My husband and my church friends get along well. Of course, this depends on the nature of the church. Mine happens to be one of the more progressive. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a try. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; KATHRYN IN OTTAWA, CANADA DEAR ABBY: I knew my husband was atheist when we married. Our spiritual journeys are different, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to change each other. We agreed I would raise our kids Catholic. I never expect him to be at church with us on Sundays, but on important sacraments (baptism, first communion, confirmation), he is there with the whole family because he realizes these events are important for his kids and me. He has become friendly with some of my clergy and fellow congregants, who accept him for the wonderful person he is. Maybe in the future â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coercedâ&#x20AC;? could attend an event like a church spaghetti dinner, something outside of services, and get to know the people her husband spends time with on Sunday. And he could spend a weekend doing a silent hiking retreat with his wife and her friends. Respecting each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spiritual path is a first step toward appreciating each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s differences and growing together. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BLESSED IN OREGON DEAR ABBY: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coercedâ&#x20AC;? is lucky to have a man who attends church and wants her to go, too. She might consider helping in the nursery. That way, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there with him but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to listen to the message. Churches are always looking for help so parents can actually attend the service. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; LAURA IN CONNECTICUT Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips.

PORTLAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The National Weather Service says a handful of cities around northwest Oregon set heat records Wednesday with highs in the mid-80s. Portland hit 83 degrees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not a record. A high of 91 was recorded at North Bend. It was a record for the day, and according to KVAL, it was the hottest spring day on record. A high of 91 also was recorded at Florence on the coast. However, meteorologist Dave Elson says there are insufficient records there to say if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a record. The coastal city of Newport hit 86, breaking not only the record for the day but the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly high temperature mark for April. The previous monthly record was 84 degrees on April 29, 1900. Other cities setting April 30 records included Salem, at 86 degrees, besting the old high of 83 set in 2004. McMinnville hit 85, beating a 1998 mark of 84 degrees, and Astoria on the north coast hit 84, besting the record of 75 set in 2004. Eugeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high was 82, breaking the old record of 81 set in 2004. Elson says coastal temperatures should be cooler Thursday, although inland highs are expected to stay

Military sexual assault reports up by 50 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Reports of sexual assaults by members of the military rose 50 percent after the Pentagon began a vigorous campaign to get more victims to come forward, prompting defense officials to order a greater focus on prevention programs, including plans to review alcohol sales and policies. But officials are still unhappy with the low number of male victims who reported sexual assault, and they say there will be a greater emphasis in the months ahead on getting men to come forward and seek help. Final data obtained by The Associated Press show that about 14 percent of the reports filed last year involved male victims.

‘Stand your ground’ law is tested HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man is accused of setting a trap and blindly blasting a shotgun into his garage, killing a 17-year-old German exchange student. A Minnesota man is convicted of lying in wait in his basement for two teenagers and killing them during a breakin. The two recent cases take the “stand your ground” debate to a new level: Do laws that allow private citizens to protect their property also let them set a trap and wait for someone to kill? “We don’t want it to be easy to be able to prosecute people. But we want to be able to hold individuals accountable when they have stepped outside the bounds of society,” David LaBahn, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Association of Prosecuting said Attorneys, Wednesday.

California wildfire 10 percent contained RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a thousand-acre wildfire in the foothills east of Los Angeles did not grow overnight and is now 10 percent contained. U.S. Forest Service officials say crews building containment lines around the blaze Thursday are focusing on the fire’s west edge, where structure protection is in place. Mandatory evacuation orders for 1,650 homes were canceled, though residents are urged to prepare to leave at a moment’s notice. Hot Santa Ana winds are forecast to return, prompting officials to order nine schools near the fire to remain closed. Temperatures

Fields to replace Mulally as CEO DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company’s assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple “One Ford” plan to change the company’s culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company.

Botched execution could renew ‘cruel’ challenges COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The botched execution of an Oklahoma inmate is certain to fire up the debate over what constitutes cruel and unusual punishment — the phrase written into the U.S. Constitution and defined by the courts, piece by piece, over two centuries. Convicted killer Clayton Lockett, 38, began writhing, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow Tuesday evening after he was supposedly rendered unconscious by the first of three drugs in the state’s new lethal injection combination. The execution was halted, and Lockett died of a heart attack about a half-hour later, authorities said. While officials later blamed a ruptured vein — not the drugs themselves — the case is raising questions about the ability of states to administer lethal injections that meet the Eighth Amendment requirement that punishments be neither cruel nor unusual. Death penalty opponents such as the American Civil Liberties Union called for a moratorium on capital punishment. And the White House said the procedure fell short of the humane standards required when the death penalty is carried out.

In light of other apparently bungled executions around the U.S. in recent years, Jen Moreno, staff attorney at the Berkeley School of Law Death Penalty Clinic, said the risks are clear. “To say that they’re isolated incidents is mischaracterizing them, and what they really are is foreseeable consequences of using an inherently dangerous procedure,” she said. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of lethal injection in 2008 in a case out of Kentucky. As part of that decision, the high court said there is no constitutional right to a painless execution. The “Constitution does not demand the avoidance of all risk of pain in carrying out executions,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. That decision involved a three-drug method that many states no longer use because certain drugs have been cut off by European suppliers. More recently, attorneys making the cruel-andunusual argument have targeted the newer drug combinations adopted around the country, their reliability and their suppliers, but they have had little success.

D I G E S T Brunei embraces strict Islamic laws BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei (AP) — Brunei on Thursday embraced a form of Islamic Shariah criminal law that includes harsh penalties, a move slammed by international rights group as a step backward for human rights. The tiny Southeast Asian nation began phasing in a version of Shariah that allows for penalties such as amputation for theft and stoning for adultery. Most of the punishments can be applied to non-Muslims, who account for about one-third of the 440,000 people in the oil-rich country. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has introduced the law as a “great achievement” for Brunei.

New kind of nuke test still an option in Korea TOKYO (AP) — North Korea says it may still go ahead and test a new kind of nuclear device following U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to Seoul, but is keeping analysts guessing as to when that test might take place. Many experts — and the South Korean government — had suspected the North would conduct its fourth nuclear test during Obama’s visit. But the U.S. president has come and gone and the North is now sending signals that could be taken to mean it is ready to test at any time, or may hold off indefinitely.

Clashes near Syrian capital kill 14 BEIRUT (AP) — Clashes between Syrian government forces and opposition fighters killed 14 rebels overnight along a strategic corridor between Damascus and the Lebanese border, activists said Thursday. The fighting in Zabadani — a town near Damascus and the last rebel stronghold in the area — is part of the larger battle for control of the Qalamoun mountainous region, stretching from the Syrian capital to the border with Lebanon. President Bashar Assad’s forces, backed by Lebanese militant Hezbollah fighters, launched an offensive in Qalamoun in midNovember, ousting rebels from the area and cutting their supply routes from Lebanon.

OSCE can oversee Ukraine dialogue LIMA, Peru (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested on Wednesday that a dialogue be launched between Ukraine’s government and its “opponents” under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Lavrov made the comment during a statement to reporters after meeting with Peru’s president, Ollanta Humala, and foreign minister, Eda Rivas. The 57-nation OSCE was tasked earlier this month with helping to ease tensions in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists have seized government buildings in at least 10 towns and cities.

URUMQI, China (AP) — Chinese authorities said Thursday that two religious extremists carried out a terror attack at a train station in far-western Xinjiang region by detonating explosives, in an apparent suicide bombing that also killed one other person and wounded 79. The strike late Wednesday in Urumqi was the third high-profile attack in seven months blamed on Xinjiang extremists that targeted civilians. These attacks, two of them outside the region, have marked a departure from a previous pattern of primarily targeting local authorities in a long-simmering insurgency. A 57-year-old woman being treated at the Xinjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital said she had just arrived from Sichuan province and was walking outside the station to meet her son when the explosives went off and knocked her to the ground. “I saw I had shreds of flesh and blood in my hair and on my clothes. It was terrifying,” said the woman, who would only give her surname, Peng. The official website for Xinjiang’s regional government said police identified two suspects with a history of religious extremism, including a 39-year-old man from southern Xinjiang. It did not explicitly call Wednesday’s attack in the regional capital of Urumqi a suicide bombing, but said the two men detonated explosives at a train station exit and both died on the spot.

Security personnel gather near the scene of an explosion outside the Urumqi South Railway Station in Urumqi in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Wednesday. An explosion shook the railway station in China's restive far-western region of Xinjiang, injuring many people as President Xi Jinping wrapped up a four-day visit to the area.

Jinping demanded “decisive” action against terrorism after the attack, which came at awkward time for him, just as he was wrapping up a four-day tour of Xinjiang aimed at underlining the government’s commitment to security in the region. It was unclear if he was still in Xinjiang when the explosions took place. “The battle to combat violence and terrorism will not allow even a moment of slackness,” Xi said in comments published on the front page of official newspapers Thursday and carried by state television. The blasts went off about 7 p.m. just after a train had

pulled into the station and as passengers streamed out onto a plaza near a bus station. Another survivor, a man who also gave only his surname, Liu, said the blast knocked many people to the ground. “There was chaos. Everyone was panicking,” Liu said. Police and firefighters quickly arrived and Liu said the injured were taken to hospitals in ambulances and commandeered taxis. Earlier reports in state media quoted witnesses as saying the attack also involved knifings by a group of attackers, but the regional government’s brief dispatch

— saying police had solved the crime — made no mention of slashings. Tensions between Chinese and ethnic Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang have been simmering for years, particularly since riots in 2009 in Urumqi left nearly 200 people dead, according to official figures. Beijing blames the violence on overseas-based instigators, but has offered little evidence. Information about events in the area about 1,550 miles west of Beijing is tightly controlled. Authorities said security was tightened at all transport hubs in the city, which has a mainly Han Chinese

Toronto mayor to take leave after new video TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is taking a leave of absence to seek help for alcohol abuse after a report surfaced about a second video of him apparently smoking crack cocaine, but he is not abandoning hopes of seeking a second term as mayor of Canada’s largest city. One of his campaign rivals and other Toronto politicians demanded he resign. But in a statement Wednesday, Ford said he would take leave for an unspecified amount of time from both his mayoral post and his campaign for reelection. “I have a problem with alcohol, and the choices I have made while under the influence. I have struggled with this for some time,” Ford said in statement late Wednesday. “I have tried to

deal with these issues by myself over the past year. I know that I need professional help and I am now 100% committed to getting myself right.” The Globe and Mail newspaper said it has viewed a second video of Ford smoking what appears to be crack cocaine in his sister’s basement.The national newspaper said two Globe reporters The Associated Press viewed the video from a selfprofessed drug dealer showing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford reacts as he speaks to his supporters during his Ford taking a drag from a pipe campaign launch in Toronto.

Train service was suspended for about two hours, and witnesses said the area outside the train station was cordoned off overnight.

Paramilitary police with rifles and helmets and riot police with bulletproof vests and shields patrolled and guarded positions in groups of about a dozen each.

Malaysia releases report into MH370 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Air traffic controllers did not realize that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was missing until 17 minutes after it disappeared from civilian radar, according to the preliminary report on the plane’s disappearance released Thursday by Malaysia’s government. In addition to the fivepage report, dated April 9, the government also released other information from the investigation into the flight, including audio recordings of conversations between the cockpit and air traffic control, the plane’s cargo manifest and its seating plan. Malaysia also released a map showing the plane’s deducted flight path as well as a document detailing actions taken by authorities in the hours after the Boeing 777 disappeared from radar. The reports were mostly information that has been released since the jet disappeared while flying near the border separating Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace. The plane went off Malaysian radar at 1:21 a.m. March 8, but Vietnamese air traffic controllers only queried about it at 1:38 a.m., according to the report, which was sent last month to the International Civil Aviation Organization. The report also said Malaysian authorities did not launch an official search and rescue operation until four hours later, at 5:30 a.m., after efforts to locate the plane failed.

GOP blocks Democrats minimum wage try in Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans derailed drive a Democratic Wednesday to raise the fedminimum wage, eral blocking a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s economic plans and ensuring the issue will be a major feature of this fall’s congres-

sional elections. Facing the threat of a GOP Senate takeover, Democrats have forced votes on a procession of bills designed to amplify their message of economic fairness. Republican senators accused Democrats of playing politics by pushing a minimum

wage measure designed to lure voters but too expensive for employers and sure to result in lost jobs and higher inflation. “This is about trying to make this side of the aisle look bad and hard-hearted, and to try to rescue this midterm election,” said No. 2

Senate GOP leader John Cornyn of Texas. The legislation by Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa would increase the $7.25 hourly for minimum wage American workers in three steps until it reached $10.10 after 30 months, with annual increases for inflation afterward. The minimum has been at $7.25 since 2009, with 3.3 million Americans — including disproportionate numbers of women and younger people — earning that figure or less last year. “We saw this morning a majority of senators saying yes, but almost every

Republican saying no to giving America a raise,” Obama said in pointedly political remarks at a White House event with low-wage workers. “And then if they keep putting politics ahead of working Americans, you can put them out of office.” All but daring Republicans to vote against the measure, Harkin said before the vote, “Who’s going to vote to give these people a fair shot at the American dream? And who’s going to vote against it?” came The answer moments later when senators voted 54-42 to continue debating the legislation — six

votes short of the 60 needed to keep the measure moving forward. Every voting Republican but one — Bob Corker of Tennessee — voted no. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans. That was a procedural move that will let Reid stage a future vote on the measure, underscoring the political value Democrats see in it. Though Obama backed Harkin’s legislation, the president proposed a $9 minimum wage in his 2013 State of the Union address.

JOSEPHINE

disorderly conduct, Grants Pass Public Safety interim Chief Bill Landis said. With no room at the jail, police could only hand out tickets for nonviolent crimes, and criminals were free to go across the street and break into another house with little fear of going to jail, he said. Last year, the City Council gave the sheriff $1 million to open 20 jail beds exclusively for the city’s use, which soon helped police regain control, Landis said. Now the city is saying it is done subsidizing the jail. The levy was put on the ballot by a citizens group, Securing Our Safety. It would triple county property taxes, now the lowest in the state at 58 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. The $1.19 per $1,000 increase would raise about $8 million a year for five years to restore full capacity at the jail of 260 beds and reopen the juvenile detention center and shelter. That

funding would free up about $4 million from the county general fund to put perhaps a dozen more deputies on patrol. Besides the cost, Rafferty said he does not trust county commissioners to use the money as it is intended and the sheriff could have spent his money more wisely. He said the county should force the federal government to resume logging on the socalled O&C lands that once provided so much revenue. He added that the city accounts for most of the crime in the county, so it should shoulder more of the costs. With practically no patrols, the sheriff’s department is not arresting anyone, so it doesn’t need the jail, he said. Meredith countered that with no levy, the jail will go back to having a revolving door, and one of the primary supports of the criminal justice system will be crippled. The mail ballots will be counted May 20.

A Coos Bay fire lieutenant lights fires with a flare in a vacant house used for a practice burn Wednesday.

BURN House vacant for 35 years Continued from Page A1 Avenue fire were a mix of personnel who had been through the department’s fire academy and a few who hadn’t. Firefighters first spent more than an hour practicing cutting through the structure’s roof and exterior walls with axes, chainsaws and rotary saws, some at the end

of an aerial on one of the department’s ladder trucks. Then, shortly before 8 p.m., senior firefighters ignited bales of straw placed at opposite ends of the home. The structure was engulfed in flames in a matter of minutes. The house had been vacant for about 35 years before it was donated to the department. Martin, who personally inspects donated structures before they’re used for training, said very few houses make the cut. Even fewer are approved for use in indoor firefighting training.

As flames roared through the windows — what was left of the roof jutting through them in the form of glowing embers — firefighters took turns manning hoses, spraying hundreds of gallons of water at the blazing building. For many new firefighters, Martin said, exercises like this one are their first opportunity to witness fire behavior firsthand. As hoses were passed from hand to hand in front of the house, a small group of firefighters stood to the side, their wide eyes fixed on the wall of flame in front of them.

been able to raise property taxes and that was focused on the jail. When voters refused to fill a $12 million gap in May 2012, the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office closed all but 60 beds at the jail, half of them for federal inmates. The county shut down the juvenile detention center and shelter, and the district attorney laid off prosecutors. State police had to boost patrols and investigations to cover the worst crimes and car wrecks. Armed citizen patrols were formed. Applications for concealed firearms permits skyrocketed. None of that stopped the city of Grants Pass from seeing an increase in burglaries, car thefts, shoplifting and

SWOCC’s Jordin Sanchez looks to the pitcher after forcing out Teauna Hughes of Mount Hood Community College during the first game Wednesday afternoon.

Mount Hood sweeps Lakers in softball BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College’s softball team was swept Wednesday in a doubleheader against NWAACC South Region leader Mount Hood Community College. The Lakers lost 8-2 in the first game and 15-2 in the second. SWOCC head coach Megan Corriea declined comment. Even with the two losses, at 77 in league, the Lakers still are positioned third in NWAACC’s South Region, in good shape for a spot in the NWAACC Tournament. In the first game, the Saints jumped out to a 7-0 lead by the fourth inning to put SWOCC behind the 8-ball early. The Lakers only managed one hit — a Hannah Lowe double — in the first five innings of play. Jorden Gerlach also added the Lakers’ only RBI, her 30th of the year, on a base hit in the seventh. No Laker batter got multiple hits. SWOCC couldn’t seem to get a read on Saints pitcher Kristen

Harlow clears 15 feet THE WORLD The Southwestern Oregon track and field team had a couple of strong performances in the Titan Twilight Meet at Lane Community College in Eugene last week. Paul Harlow finished second in the men’s pole vault, continuing his strong season by clearing 15 feet. Kyle Seals also had a second-place finish, taking runner-up honors in the javelin with a throw of 167-1. And Eric Jordan was second in the shot put with an effort of 43-10. Jovenn Pacheco was sixth (40-9.5). Pacheco was fourth in the

Gannon was sixth in the triple jump (39-6). On the track, Zach Hammond had a difficult double, placing ninth in the 1,500 in 4:24.21 and running the 5,000 in 16:42.28 to place eighth. Israel Moses placed 11th in the 100 in 12.38. Bradley Tripp was 23rd in the 800 in 2:07.41. SEE LAKERS | B3

earned runs in three innings of work before getting relieved by Randi Anderson in the fourth. The second game was a lot rougher for SWOCC, especially with the Lakers working through

five errors on defense. SWOCC jumped up to a 1-0 lead in the second before a big five-run third from Mount Hood put the Lakers in a big hole again. Myers got the start in the second game and allowed another seven runs in five innings, but only one she gave up was earned because of the shaky defense behind her. Anderson relieved Myers again, this time in the sixth inning, and gave up eight earned runs in one inning of play. For the second straight game, SWOCC only managed four hits as a team. Hannah Leming went 2-for-2, singling in the first and third innings on the way to reaching base three times. Carli Vogl added the only RBI on the way to going 2-for-2 for the game. SWOCC next travels to Clackamas for a doubleheader Friday. The Lakers haven’t been able to break through against either Mount Hood or Clackamas this spring, but rank third in the NWAACC coaches poll behind the Saints and Cougars.

Laker point guard signs with Minnesota school BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — When DJ Anderson plays at Bemidji State next year, it’ll be his third college in four years. But when Anderson signed his letter of intent at Prosper Hall on Wednesday, its was the first time SWOCC’s standout sophomore point guard got to have a ceremony. He didn’t take it for granted. “I appreciate all the support I got. It’s a moment I’ll never forget and I thank God for the opportunity,” Anderson said after all his teammates and supporters surrounded him for a picture. “Hopefully it gets me more stability.” Anderson has done some traveling the past three years, and the first two stops, he signed the day he got on campus. He went to Marshalltown Community College in Iowa his freshman year, then took a year off before coach Trevor Hoppe found him back in his home town of Las Vegas and brought him up to Coos Bay for this season. On Wednesday, Anderseon

DJ Anderson signs his letter of intent to play basketball for Bemidji State in Minnesota after a season at Southwestern Oregon Community College. decided his new home next year will be Bemidji, Minn. “I just think Minnesota is the better opportunity for me,” Anderson said. The newest Bemidji State Beaver started getting hit up hard by recruiters this past month, and he won’t lie — he wasn’t familiar

with the area going into it. “I had never even heard of it before,” Anderson said of the 13,000-plus person town that is best known for being the setting of the television series “Fargo.” Anderson averaged 18.3 points per game with 2 steals and a symmetrical 4.9 rebounds and assists

to lead the Lakers to a share of the NWAACC South Region title. Bemidji State, a Division II school, had seen some of Anderson’s success on Youtube and contacted Hoppe. After some correspondence, Bemidji State decided to fly Anderson into Fargo, N.D., last 1 weekend and take the 2 ⁄2 hour drive to check out the campus. Going into the visit, Anderson’s choice was between two schools; Bemidji State and Notre Dame de Namur University, another Division II school thirty minutes south of San Francisco. With the chance to better further his academic career — Anderson wants to pursue either business or athletic training — and the “ hospitality” they showed him on his visit, he started seeing a future in north Minnesota. Bemidji officially offered on Saturday, and then Wednesday Anderson made it official. “I talked to my mom and dad and they agreed that it’s the best fit for me,” Anderson said SEE ANDERSON | B2

If you were driving down Newmark Avenue on Wednesday, you might’ve seen me among dozens of other men, tip-toeing across the street from Walmart in red heels. No, I wasn’t part of some kind of freak show. We were “Walking a Mile in Her Shoes.” On Wednesday, I was part of SWOCC’s annual event, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: The International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence, put on by the Women’s Safety and Resource Center of the Coos Bay Zonta Club. I’ll be the first to admit, charity walks or runs are not my bag of tea. I’ve never run a 10K for cancer, never walked a 5K for leukemia, and don’t get me started on people soliciting money for their first marathon. Just let me donate or bid for something in an auction and skip the running middle man. But this event was different. It incorporated some my favorite things: People doing things strictly for attention. Making my calves pop. Men modeling their footwear after Dorothy. It was over the SPORTS top, and the ostentatious flare of the event is exactly the point. “It’s not about raising money, it’s about raising awareness,” Zonta President Deb Lal explained to me. “If we raise awareGEORGE ness and we change one or two people’s ARTSITAS life, is that not worth it?” Now I can’t really take all the credit for raising awareness. Life (and work) got in the way of me throwing on heels myself so I just walked with everyone in my normal boat shoes. Somehow, in a throng of men wearing red heels, I stood out like a sore thumb. While I walked, I saw some familiar characters from around the area, including Marshfield head football coach Josh Line. Line brought about a dozen players from the Marshfield, who weren’t phased to be seen walking in women’s shoes. Some of them, in typical male competitive nature, raced the final homestretch in heels. By the second half of the walk, Line was walking gingerly, switching up which foot to limp on. Even stilted three-inches off the ground in heels and hurting, Line was as affable as always. “I’m in a considerable amount of pain. I’m not gonna take these off, I’m going hard until the end,” Line told me, trying not to focus on his throbbing feet. “It has given me a greater appreciation of what a woman goes through, which is the whole point of this thing — and a greater appreciation of my Nike Lunar Frees.” A walker who wasn’t getting a crash course on walking in heels — but instead learning how to balance a tiara — was North Bend athlete Allie West. The Bulldogs’ No. 1 singles girls tennis player came out in a sash and tiara after winning Miss Mount Hood Outstanding Teen last weekend. West couldn’t see a better place to make an appearance as a volunteer. “It’s good to be part of your community and take a stand,” West said. “It’s a good cause and it’s really opening people’s eyes to the issue.” Moving forward, other than just an opportunity to have passer-bys giggle at men clunking around in heels, the event really wants to get men more proactive in the issue. They want men to feel empathy for what women go through and make the change generational, passing down the message to younger boys. “Women can’t make the change on their own, men have to help too,” Lal told me. At least now after Wednesday, some Bay Area men can say they have walked in women’s shoes. Literally.

Crawford will get sixth-man honor The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Minnesota’s Josmil Pinto breaks his bat on a single hit off Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Zack Greinke during the fourth inning Wednesday.

Dodgers reach franchise milestone THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — Zack Greinke pitched six strong innings, Juan Uribe had two RBIs and the Los Angeles Dodgers earned their 10,000th win in franchise history, 6-4 over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. Greinke (5-0) struck out six and didn’t allow an earned run through drizzling rain and temperatures that dipped into the 30s by the end of the game. MLB With the bases loaded and the Recap Twins trailing 5-1 in the seventh, reliever Chris Withrow got Trevor Plouffe to pop out to shortstop on a 3-0 pitch to end the threat. Plouffe’s two-run double in the ninth made it 6-4, but Kenley Jansen retired Chris Colabello to earn his 10th save in 12 chances. The Dodgers join the Giants, Cubs and Braves as the only franchises to win 10,000 games. Adrian Gonzalez, Andre Ethier and Yasiel Puig each added two hits and an RBI. Eduardo Escobar had a career-high four hits and two RBIs for the Twins. With Minnesota up 1-0, Drew Butera slid headfirst and touched home just ahead of Kurt Suzuki’s tag after Hanley Ramierz singled to left in the third. Manager Ron Gardenhire challenged the safe call by home plate umpire Chris Segal, but lost after the call was confirmed following a two-minute replay review. Uribe’s two-RBI single made it 5-1 in the seventh. Nationals 7, Houston 0: Anthony Rendon finished a triple shy of the cycle and had four hits, Jordan Zimmermann pitched smoothly into the seventh inning and the Nationals beat the Astros. Rendon connected for a two-run double in a four-run fourth and added a solo home run in the sixth. The Houston native added a double in the first and a single in the third but flew out to left in the eighth. Zimmermann (2-1) scattered seven hits in 6 1-3 innings. He struck out seven to earn his 45th win with the Nationals, making him club’s ningest pitcher since the Montreal Expos moved to

Washington in 2005. Denard Span and Kevin Frandsen each had two hits and Danny Espinosa also had two hits, including a solo home run in the fifth that chased Brett Oberholtzer (0-5).

AMERICAN LEAGUE Angels 7, Indians 1: C.J. Wilson pitched two-hit ball over eight innings, Hank Conger hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Zach McAllister, and the Los Angeles Angels sent the Indians to their sixth straight loss. Wilson (4-2) struck out eight, walked one and retired his last 18 batters after a leadoff double in the third by No. 9 hitter Elliot Johnson. Athletics 12, Rangers 1: Jesse Chavez allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings, Eric Sogard matched his season total with three RBIs and the Athletics completed a three-game sweep with a rout of the sloppy Rangers. Yoenis Cespedes had two doubles, scored twice and drove in two runs for the A’s, who scored 10 runs combined in the third and fourth innings to answer a three-game sweep by the Rangers in Oakland last week. The Rangers matched a season high with four errors, including one of two by shortstop Elvis Andrus on what could have been an inning-ending double play in Oakland’s seven-run third. Royals 4, Blue Jays 2: Alcides Escobar delivered a two-run double in the seventh inning, and the Kansas City Royals held on for a tense victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Eric Hosmer drove in the other two runs for the Royals, whose bullpen blew a 2-0 lead for young starter Yordano Ventura before holding on to beat Toronto with a late rally for the second straight night.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Cardinals 9, Brewers 3: Allen Craig homered on a four-hit day that included three RBIs, and Matt Adams hit a three-run homer as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3 Wednesday. Jon Jay had three hits and a walk his first four trips to the plate. The Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep by the team with the best record in the major leagues. Shelby Miller (3-2) worked around

homers to Mark Reynolds and Carlos Gomez, allowing three runs and six hits in six-plus innings. Milwaukee is 20-8, a franchise record for wins through the season’s first full first month. Marlins 9, Braves 3: Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven innings and the Marlins scored nine runs off NL ERA leader Aaron Harang to beat the Braves. Harang (3-2) gave up 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings, and his ERA rose from 0.85 to 2.97. The Marlins tied a season high with 15 hits, including seven for extra bases. Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer, and Christian Yelich added his first home run of the year. Miami’s 9-0 lead after five innings was a rare luxury for Eovaldi (2-1), who has the lowest career run support among active major league starters. Cubs 9, Reds 4: Nate Schierholtz drove in three runs and Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run homer, rallying the Cubs over the Reds. Edwin Jackson (2-2) beat Cincinnati for the second time this year, allowing four runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. Giants 3, Padres 2: Tim Hudson and Sergio Romo combined on a fivehitter and the Giants beat the Padres. Hudson (4-1) struck out six and didn’t walk a batter for the fourth time in five starts this season. The three-time All-Star was one pitch from recording his first shutout in nearly two years before Yasmani Grandal’s twoout home run in the ninth. Brandon Hicks homered and Michael Morse drove in his team-leading 20th RBI for the Giants, who finished 5-1 on their homestand. Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4, 10 innings: Miguel Montero hit a leadoff homer in the 10th inning after Martin Prado hit a two-run single in the ninth, helping the Diamondbacks end a fourgame losing streak with a win over the Rockies. Colorado led 4-0 after three innings behind Carlos Gonzalez’s two-run homer and pitcher Jordan Lyles’ leadoff shot in the third. Arizona cut into the lead on Paul Goldschmidt’s solo homer in the eighth inning. The Diamondbacks then loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth against Rex Brothers, and Prado tied it at 4 with a two-run single up the middle.

LOS ANGELES — Clippers guard Jamal Crawford will be named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year for the second time in his career, a league official with knowledge of the award said.

Crawford was the Clippers’ thirdleading scorer and the NBA’s top-scoring reserve with 18.6 points per game. He added 3.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game for the two-time Pacific Division champions.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Winston receives civil citation in Tallahassee TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston was issued a civil citation after sheriff’s deputies said he walked out of a supermarket without paying for $32 worth of crab legs and crawfish. The 20-year-old Florida State quarterback said he forgot to pay for the food. The offense was relatively minor but drew attention both because of his stature and because it was his latest brush with the law. Winston had been the subject of a much more serious, monthslong investigation into allegations that he had sexually assaulted a woman in December 2013. A prosecutor declined to charge him, citing a lack of evidence and gaps in the accuser’s story. Leon County Sheriff’s Maj. Michael Wood said Wednesday that Publix employees called deputies, who went to Winston’s apartment about three hours later. Winston was cooperative and told the deputies he forgot to pay for the food, but he did not contact the store or return there to pay for the items, Wood said. “The facts are not in dispute,” Wood said. “He left without paying.” Winston issued a statement through his lawyer saying he had intended to pay, “but made a terrible mistake for which I’m taking full responsibility. In a moment of youthful ignorance, I walked out of the store without paying for one of my items.

ANDERSON From Page B1 “It’s a program were the coaches see me fitting into their system, being successful and getting an education.” Anderson’s newly cemented future in basketball is exactly what Hoppe tries to do with every player he brings into Prosper Hall. He knows SWOCC is a launching point for kids to advance their basketball career and Anderson’s story is a prime example. “This is just a stop on the way on their journey,” Hoppe said. “This is what we love to see. We love to see guys reaching their goals and their dreams and continuing on, playing basketball form here.” He’ll head to Minnesota in August. Until then, he’ll

“I realize that I am in the public spotlight and my conduct needs to be above reproach.” Florida State baseball coach Mike Martin suspended Winston, a relief pitcher, indefinitely until he completes community service. Football coach Jimbo Fisher said in a statement that he supports Martin’s decision.

PRO FOOTBALL Jury rules against Adams in stabbing case PITTSBURGH — A jury has found three men not guilty in connection with the stabbing and attempted carjacking of Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Mike Adams last year. The Allegheny County jury Wednesday returned not guilty verdicts on all charges against Dquay Means and Michael Paranay. Jerrell Whitlock was found not guilty of the most serious offenses but convicted of a charge of flight to avoid apprehension. Prosecutors argued that Adams was stabbed during an attempted carjacking in June, but defense attorneys said a fight began after Adams knocked food out of Paranay’s hands. Adams, a 6-foot-7, 325pound offensive lineman, was hospitalized for four days.

HOCKEY Kings complete rally from 3-0 playoff deficit SAN JOSE, Calif. — Anze Kopitar scored the tiebreaking goal late in the second period and Jonathan Quick made 39 saves to cap the Los Angeles K ings’ historic comeback from three games down with a 5-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks in Game 7 of their first-round series Wednesday night. Drew Doughty, Tyler Toffoli, Dustin Brown and Tanner Pearson also scored for the Kings, who became the fourth NHL team to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. The Kings joined Toronto (1942), the New York Islanders (1975) and Philadelphia (2010) as the only teams to complete that comeback and now will get another California showdown in the second-round with the first Freeway Playoff against the Anaheim Ducks. Matt Irwin scored the lone goal for the Sharks.

Anderson admitted that he sees an opportunity to play early at Bemidji, but knows he can’t rest on his laurels. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to earn minutes regardless,” Anderson said. Hoppe said several more Lakers, including Anthony Heintzman, Da’Lorian Sampson, Dexter Williams Jr. and LaDarrell Mongkholtham, might sign with schools in the coming weeks. But Wednesday, Hoppe was only thinking about Anderson. “It’s exciting,” Hoppe said. “He took care of business in the classroom and took care of business on the court and now he’s moving on.”

Sports Jockey hopes for deja vu LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The only time Victor Espinoza won the Kentucky Derby was aboard War Emblem in 2002. They broke from the No. 5 post, the same position he’ll start the 140th edition of the race with early 5-2 favorite California Chrome. “Hopefully, that’s my lucky number,” Espinoza said Wednesday. Eight horses have won from there, most recently Funny Cide in 2003. “I think it’s a perfect spot,” trainer Art Sherman said. “I think we break clean, he’ll get out of a lot of trouble. He’s got a little gas leaving there.” At 77, Sherman could become the oldest trainer to win the Derby, surpassing Charlie Whittingham’s record of 76 when Sunday Silence won in 1989. California Chrome comes into the Derby having won his last four starts by a combined 24 1/4 lengths. “Just an amazing horse to ride,” Espinoza said. “I let him do his own thing and I think he likes that.” Hopportunity was made the 6-1 second choice in the full field of 20 horses, but was pulled from the race this morning by trainer Bob Baffert, who said the colt has

A highlight for the Pirates came at No. 1 doubles, where Desiree Guirado and Braeden Kennedy avenged an earlier loss to the Willamette duo of Amanda Jester and Marisa Soriano. “This was one of their best matches of the season,” Marshfield coach Aron Boesl said. The Pirates got their other three wins in singles, with victories by Katie Boesl, Colleen Rayburn and Lindsay Brown. Brown led her match by a set and a game when her Willamette opponent suffered an ankle injury. North Bend 5, St. Mary’s 3: The Bulldogs won their match at Medford on Tuesday, taking three of the four doubles matches. North Bend got doubles wins by the teams of Taylor Cuzzort and Hannah S c h a n d e l m e i e r - Ly n c h , Payton Smith and Raegan Spence, and Karen LaGesse and Bailey Lyon. MacKenzee Scott and Renee Thompson won singles matches for North Bend.

Baffert’s other horse, Chitu, is a 20-1 long shot that drew the No. 13 post. Wicked Strong, named for the victims of last year’s Boston Marathon bombings, is the 8-1 third choice and will break from the 20th post on the far outside. He and the No. 10 horse, Wildcat Red, will be last ones loaded into the starting gate, so they won’t be in there very long. Calvin Borel will break from the No. 19 post aboard Ride On Curlin.

Blazers miss on first chance to close out series Next chance to wrap up series is Friday at Portland ■

HOUSTON (AP) — Jeremy Lin was so unhappy with his performance in Houston’s Game 4 loss to Portland that he hardly slept at all after the game. Lin should sleep like a baby after his work in Game 5. Dwight Howard had 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Lin came off the bench to score 21 points and help the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 108-98 on Wednesday night to avoid elimination. “I just tried to be aggressive,” said Lin, who had four points and three turnovers in Sunday’s overtime loss. “I felt like I needed to be a spark for the team.” The Trail Blazers lead the first-round series 3-2 entering Game 6 on Friday in Portland. A basket by Damian Lillard got the Trail Blazers within two points before James Harden stepped back and swished a 3-pointer to make it 103-98 with about three minutes left. The shot brought the crowd, which was clad almost completely

in red shirts emblazoned with the words “Clutch City” on them, to its feet. That started an 8-0 Houston run to close it out. Harden finished with 17 points and seven assists. “I really hadn’t did anything the first two quarters, so it was time for me to step up and make plays,” Harden said. Houston finally slowed down LaMarcus Aldridge, limiting him to eight points, after he averaged 35.3 points in the first four games. Wesley Matthews led the Blazers with 27 points and Lillard added 26. “We had opportunities to make shots, but we didn’t make certain shots that we needed,” Aldridge said. “We didn’t get the big stops that we needed. They played well down the stretch and we didn’t.” Lin got extended minutes on Wednesday night with Pat Beverley dealing with a 101degree fever. Beverley had five points in 21 minutes. The Trail Blazers said the two shots Lin hit as the shot clock expired were deflating. “He threw up some crazy shots,” Lillard said. “That’s when you know a guy is having a good night. They would put one up at the end of so

San Antonio’s Tiago Splitter drives to the basket against Dallas defender Dirk Nowitzki during the second half Wednesday. rebounds as San Antonio regained home-court advantage. Duncan added 16 points and 12 rebounds and Kawhi Leonard had 15 points for the Spurs. After averaging 16 points in the series’ first four games, Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki found the stroke in scoring 26 points on 10-for-20 shooting. But it wasn’t enough to overcome Parker and the Spurs returning to form. “Vince shot the ball incredibly, Dirk found his rhythm and really made some tough shots,” Duncan said. “But we were able to counter that offensively by moving the ball, hitting the glass, getting into the paint and getting some easy stuff for ourselves and loosen it up.” The Spurs rediscovered the aggressive defense, long-range shooting and fluid ball movement that fueled them to the league’s best record. San Antonio was 8-for-16 from 3point range and had 24 assists while committing just six turnovers. The Spurs finished with 54 points in the paint while shooting 47 percent overall from the field. “I think they moved the ball well and, of course, they got a lot of layups, so that’s most of it,” Carter said. “They did a great job of just moving the ball

and making the right decisions, keeping us on our heels. I think we just have to go back to the drawing board and let it all hang out.” Raptors 115, Nets 113: Kyle Lowry scored a career playoff-high 36 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer after Toronto had blown a 26-point lead, and the Raptors took a 3-2 lead in their firstround series. DeMar DeRozan had 23 points, Jonas Valanciunas scored 16 and Greivis Vasquez added 15 for the Raptors, who would advance to face Miami in the second round with a victory in Game 6 on Friday in Brooklyn. Joe Johnson scored 30 points and Mirza Teletovic had 17 for the Nets, who scored 44 points in the fourth quarter but lost their final chance when Andray Blatche fired a pass well over Deron Williams’ head into the backcourt for a turnover. Toronto led 94-72 on a 3-pointer by Vasquez with 11:23 remaining, but Brooklyn scored 15 of the next 18 points, including a four-point play by Alan Anderson, to make it 97-87 with 7:15 remaining. Johnson later converted a threepoint play, then made a 3 to tie it at 101 with 3:16 left.

Celebrities line up to bid for Clippers LOS ANGELES (AP) — If Donald Sterling is compelled to sell the Los Angeles Clippers, the list of potential buyers has more stars than their roster. Oprah Winfrey is contemplating a bid. Sean Combs is a Knicks fan, but he wants in. Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants the whole team. Matt Damon wants a tiny piece. Billionaires, entertainers and athletes alike announced their intentions to pursue the

one and used an 11-0 run to start the second quarter and go up 41-27. Jones scored the first four points in that span and rookie Troy Daniels capped it with a 3-pointer. The Trail Blazers had six turnovers while the Rockets built the lead and didn’t score until a pair of free throws by Aldridge with about nine minutes left until halftime. Howard picked up his third foul soon after that and went to the bench. The Rockets built the lead to 51-34 before the Trail Blazers ended the first half with a 14-5 run, with eight points from Lillard, to cut the lead to 56-48 at halftime. Aldridge had just six points at halftime after sitting out about half of the first quarter after getting his second foul. NOTES: The Trail Blazers wore patches on their jerseys to honor Hall of Famer Jack Ramsay, who died on Monday at 89. Ramsay coached the team to an NBA title in 1977. The plaid patch has the words “Dr. Jack” and a “77” to honor the championship team. The Blazers will wear the patch for the remainder of the postseason. ...

Lakers coach D’Antoni resigns

New dad Parker lifts Spurs to big win SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker was nursing a sprained left ankle and playing a critical playoff game on no sleep only hours after the birth of his first child. It was the perfect formula for a resurgent performance from the San Antonio Spurs point guard. Parker had 23 points and five assists and San Antonio never trailed in a 109103 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, taking a 3-2 lead in the first-round series. “Coming into the game I told him this is perfect for you,” Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. “This is what he does in situations like this where he doesn’t get a lot of sleep or is in a stressful situation. He always seems to play better. I somewhat expected it from him. “He was really excited before the game. Obviously, he was really excited to have his son here and wanted to get this game really badly not only for his son but for the situation and the timing of it. He was really focused and it was good for us.” Parker’s rebirth put San Antonio on the verge of closing out a tense series against its intrastate rival with Game 6 set for Friday in Dallas. Vince Carter scored 28 points on 10for-16 shooting for the Mavericks. Carter’s 3-pointer with 3 minutes left pulled Dallas within 98-94 but Parker followed a minute later with his only 3-pointer of the game for a 101-94 advantage, punctuating the shot with a loud scream. His son Josh was born early in the morning to his fiancee Axelle Francine. “It was crazy, ‘cause it happened last night, late,” Parker said. “I didn’t sleep. I basically didn’t sleep the whole night and just played on adrenaline today. “I’m a happy man right now.” After shooting 5-for-14 in scoring just 10 points in San Antonio’s Game 4 victory, Parker responded with a frantic start. He mixed in three driving layups and two mid-range jumpers to start the game making 5 of his first 7 shots. Parker’s drives helped the Spurs’ struggling offense maintain a consistent rhythm for the first time in the series. Manu Ginobili had 19 points and Tiago Splitter added 17 points and 12

fourth quarter, but never went back on top. Terrence Jones added a basket for Houston after the big 3 by Harden before Howard got after Aldridge on the other end. He blocked his short jump shot, sending it out of bounds. Portland got the ball back and Aldridge got the ball again, but he badly missed a shot with Howard in his face as the shot clock expired, leaving Aldridge yelling for a foul. The Rockets were up by nine early in the fourth quarter after four quick points from Lin before Portland used an 8-0 run, with the first four points from Nicolas Batum, to cut the lead to 9190 with 7:39 remaining. Matthews had 18 of Portland’s 29 points in the third. Howard and Lin combined for 18, including Lin’s long two as the shot clock expired with Lillard right in his face. Lin finished off the quarter with a three-point play to make it 82-77 entering the fourth. Robin Lopez received a flagrant-1 foul when he fouled Howard in the air while fighting for a rebound and pulled him to the ground by the shoulders on the way down. Houston led by three after

Clippers with varying degrees of seriousness Wednesday, proving the longtime losers will be quite a prize if the NBA is able to wrest control of the team away from Sterling after his lifetime ban for racist remarks. Winfrey led the list, and the media mogul is already bringing in her friends. “Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Los Angeles Clippers should the team

become available,” spokesperson Nicole Nichols confirmed in an email. If Winfrey joins Geffen, the billionaire entertainment executive, and Oracle CEO Ellison to pool their vast resources for a bid, they could be among the top contenders for a franchise that would be among the most valuable sports properties to hit the market since the Los Angeles Dodgers’ $2 billion sale in 2012 to the Guggenheim Partners group

fronted by Magic Johnson, the Lakers great and another potential Clippers bidder. The Clippers spent the last three decades rotting in the shadow of the glamorous Lakers, who piled up championships while the lowly Clips only racked up losses. With Sterling’s ouster, the Clippers suddenly became the most attractive team in town to wealthy fans lining up for an unlikely chance to seize control of a Hollywood sports franchise on the move.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni resigned Wednesday after less than two seasons on the job. Team spokesman John Black confirmed D’Antoni’s resignation, ending the brief tenure of the Lakers’ fourth head coach in less than three years. D’Antoni went 67-87 after taking over the Lakers early in the 2012-13 season. He replaced the fired Mike Brown, who lasted just 71 games after replacing 11-time NBA champion coach Phil Jackson in 2011. The injury-plagued Lakers were 27-55 this season, their worst campaign in more than 50 years and the second-worst winning percentage in franchise history. With Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol sitting out large chunks of the season while the Lakers lost an NBA-worst 319 man-games to injuries, the 16-time NBA champion franchise missed the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons and only the third time in 38 years. “Given the circumstances, I don’t know that anybody could have done a better job than Mike did the past two seasons,” Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. “On behalf of the Lakers, we thank Mike for the work ethic, professionalism and positive attitude that he brought to the team every day. We wish him the best of luck.” The 62-year-old D’Antoni had one year left on his contract, but wanted the Lakers to pick up his option year for 2015-16 to have any chance of success. The Lakers apparently refused, leading to D’Antoni’s resignation. D’Antoni walked away from a $4 million payday for next season, although he may receive a portion of that money as severance. A phone message left for D’Antoni wasn’t immediately returned. Despite the Lakers’ injuries on a roster consisting mostly of players on oneyear contracts, Los Angeles fans largely directed their anger during a rare down season toward D’Antoni. Lakers great Magic Johnson, who was sharply critical of D’Antoni’s coaching style, hailed the news on his Twitter account. “Happy days are here again!” Johnson tweeted. “Mike D’Antoni resigns as the Lakers coach. I couldn’t be happier!” D’Antoni also has coached the Nuggets, Suns and Knicks. He reached two Western Conference finals with Nash in Phoenix before having much less success in New York. “Whenever a coach isn’t there anymore, for whatever

reason, all of us in the fraternity feel badly,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said after the Spurs’ playoff victory over Dallas. “He is a heck of a coach and heck of a guy. You always feel badly when something like that happens. I just hope that what he wants is going to be what happens for him. He is a special guy.” D’Antoni’s signature uptempo style of play seemed an odd match from the start with the aging, ball-dominating Bryant and the Lakers, who ran Jackson’s deliberate triangle offense to perfection. Lakers owners Jerry and Jim Buss curiously chose D’Antoni to replace Brown over Jackson, who strongly contemplated a return for a third stint on the Los Angeles bench. Jackson became the president of the Knicks in March. Kupchak said he will begin the search immediately for the Lakers’ fifth head coach since 2011 — including Jackson, who walked away from the team after falling short of a third consecutive championship. D’Antoni’s departure will allow the Lakers’ franchise overhaul to begin in earnest after their worst season since 1957-58 back in Minneapolis. Los Angeles missed the postseason for just the second time in the 17-season career of Bryant, who occasionally clashed with D’Antoni. The Lakers have a top-10 pick in a strong draft and just three players under contract for next season, including Nash and Bryant. The fourth-leading scorer in NBA history will make more than $48 million over the next two years. A coaching change also might make the Lakers more attractive to Gasol, an unrestricted free agent who intimated he wouldn’t consider returning if D’Antoni still coached the team. Kupchak has said the Lakers are very interested in re-signing the 7-foot Spaniard, one of the top available free agents. “There would have to be significant changes,” Gasol wrote in Spanish on his personal blog recently. “I’ve never concealed the fact that D’Antoni’s style doesn’t suit my game. Everybody knows this. I don’t know if my decision will be swayed by whether Mike stays or leaves. Obviously, the coach is a very important factor for any team.” After joining the Lakers on short notice last season, D’Antoni was unable to assemble a contending team immediately around Bryant and Dwight Howard, who struggled to embrace the pick-and-roll game so important to D’Antoni’s offense.

BRIDGE This week, we are looking at strong jump shifts. These show some 13-16 high-card points and either an excellent one-suiter, or a prime twosuiter with responder having length in both his suit and his partner’s suit. Now look at today’s auction. What do you make of the two rebids, North’s two no-trump and South’s three hearts? When South responds two spades, North has such wonderful

clubs that he can infer South must have a spade one-suiter, not a black two-suiter. So North might immediately launch into Blackwood. But when he chooses to give his partner space to describe his hand, South’s three hearts announces long spades with a control or two in hearts and not in diamonds (the suit he skipped). He would have rebid three clubs with both black suits. How should South plan the play in six spades after West leads the diamond queen? Declarer can affor one trump loser, not two. With this suit combination, the best play is to start by cashing the ace. When the jack drops, South continues with the spade queen to drive out the king and claims. Note that if declare starts with a losing spade finesse, he will have a nasty guess on the second round: Finesse again or cash the ace? Also, if the spad ace is greeted by the two and nine, South crosses to the dummy with a diamond and leads a spade toward his hand. He has no guesswork at all.

FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2014 Nothing will be too difficult for you to take on this year.Your courage and insight will carry you to the finish line, and you’ll be able to overcome many obstacles and achieve your goals. Don’t waste time when you should be taking action. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Get serious about your career goals. The position you desire is there for the taking. Get working to obtain whatever qualifications you need to pursue your dreams. Believe and achieve. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Things may not turn out as you expected. Avoid an emotional outburst by taking a step back from whatever situation you face, and look at the facts objectively. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Rumors and speculation could seriously hurt your reputation. Choose your confidants carefully, or you could set yourself up for a real problem both personally and professionally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Examine your motives before offering your leadership services. The situation should be of benefit to all concerned, not just to you. Sharing and a willingness to take responsibility will be required. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You need to work on solitary projects today. Keep a low profile. Confrontations are likely if you are trying to deal with friends, relatives or your peers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — This will be an educational day for you. Be prepared to listen to people with more experience. You could learn about valuable strategies that can improve your future and help you achieve your objectives. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Carefully deal with authority figures regarding legal or health issues. Ask questions and do your best to obtain the necessary information to efficiently solve whatever problem you face. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — Tensions will mount if your intentions are misunderstood. Be considerate toward others, but clear and concise about what you want and are willing to offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A prospective career move should be put on hold for the moment. Your peers will be glad to give you a hand if you are willing to ask for help. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s time for a little pampering. You will feel revived if you get together with someone you love. A change of scenery will do you a world of good. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — A current personal dilemma should be shared with a close friend. If a family situation has deteriorated, an outside perspective may shed some light on a solution. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t hesitate to delve into unfamiliar territory. Keep your mind open to new experiences. Lucrative possibilities could be the result of an educational trip, excursion or conference.
