The home is expected to be ready by July and will be sold on the market to a qualifying low-income family.
NORTH BEND — Known for keeping sounds to a minimum, a public library is the last place you expect to find a celebration of musical instruments. However, organizers of a children’s event at the North Bend Public Library say it makes perfect sense. Children in grades K-4, and their families, are invited to a book and music education event at the library at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 17. Library patrons don’t have to worry, the event will be in the large meeting room. This free family event is part of the North Bend Public Library’s 100th and the buildings 25th anniversary celebration week. OCMA Co-president Kathy Metzger says the combination of music and reading makes perfect sense. “There is a huge correlation between reading, music and doing well in school,” she said.“It’s been proven that school children who participate in music, in some form or other — lessons, band, choir — do better in the classroom. The two go hand in hand.” The May 17 event will feature Lemony Snicket’s modern classic “The Composer is Dead,” which teaches kids about the orchestra and its instruments while they investigate a humorous whodunit. Participants will listen to a lively reading of the book by NBPL children’s librarian Sara Simpkins, SEE LIBRARY | A8

you,’ or ‘We’ll check into it,’ but we don’t get it.” The Columbia River is better prepared than some Oregon waterways. Because barges have long moved petroleum products on the river, spill-containment caches are kept in strategic places by nonprofit cooperatives. Union Pacific keeps 15,000 feet of boom in Portland, but its rail lines run from Portland east to Idaho and south to California. In the event of an accident, Union Pacific could call on help from the Army Corps of Engineers, which stores boom equipment at its dams and reservoirs throughout the state, said Aaron Hunt, a company spokesman. But the Army Corps said it could not respond to an oil train accident unless it had been declared a federal emergency under the authority of Oregon’s governor, which takes time after a derailment.

caught fire near Lynchburg, Virginia, dumping 20,000 gallons of crude into the James River. After the accident, an oil sheen spread 12 miles downriver. Containment booms, floating plastic barriers used to corral spills, weren’t deployed for several hours, Virginia regulators said. Federal laws pre-empt state authority to regulate railroad companies’ planning for oil spills. But federal law doesn’t require them to plan for worst-case accidents. Railroads don’t have to share information with state officials who make sure Oregon is ready for an oil spill. Railroads have instead promised to volunteer information, then failed to do it. “It’d be better if we had a legal way to tell them to do it, but we don’t,” said Don Pettit, an emergency-response planner at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. “A lot of it ends up being voluntary. Often we’re told, ‘We’ll get that to

PORTLAND (AP) — Trains moved almost 500 million gallons of crude oil alongside Oregon waterways last year, but no state law requires railroad companies to plan for oil spills or contribute to a regional database that tracks caches of emergency response equipment. The proliferation of oil trains in the Pacific Northwest has increased the risks of a catastrophic spill in the Columbia, Deschutes and Willamette rivers, as well as Upper Klamath Lake, but the state is not well-prepared to respond, the Oregonian reported. Planning for how to respond to spills is moving slowly, said Scott Knutson, a U.S. Coast Guard oil spill official. “There’s a lot of equipment,” Knutson said. “It may not yet all be in the right place for the changing transportation picture in the Northwest.” Last month, a CSX oil train derailed and

SALEM — Big donors are making their voices heard in Oregon’s Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Three super PACs and a traditional political action committee have reported spending at least $956,000 supporting or opposing the two leading candidates, state Rep. Jason Conger and Portland physician Monica Wehby, according to campaign finance records. A fourth super PAC has registered with the Federal Election Commission, but it has not yet reported raising or spending money. Enabled by U.S. Supreme Court opinions on campaign finance, super PACs can raise and spend unlimited sums on federal races. They must report their activities to the Federal Election Commission and are prohibited from coordinating with candidates or their campaign teams. The money in Oregon’s Senate race has bought advertisements on television, radio and the Internet, as well as mailers arriving along with ballots in Republicans’ mailboxes. Ballots must be returned by May 20, when

NORTH BEND — What could have ended in tragedy worked out for the best Friday night as North Bend police and fire personnel reunited a lost 76-year-old woman with her family after an extensive search. Searchers found Diane Gail Freeman at the Ross Dress for Less store in Pony Village Mall shortly before 10:30 p.m. Freeman, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, had become separated from her husband while visiting the mall. North Bend Police Chief Rob Kappelman said dispatchers got the call of Freeman’s

Coos County has around 61,000 people, this includes 8,400 veterans. May 20th is Election Day for 2 county commission seats. Veterans, when is the last time you heard a candidate even mention veterans when talking or asking for your vote? During the month of April, I have attended many meetings regarding the formation of the South Coast Community Foundation (SCCF) which has been formed to spend monies anticipated from the proposed Jordan Cove gas facility. The SCCF will receive a share of service fees money from Jordan Cove when projects start, instead of waiting 8 years for the county taxes to kick in. The SCCF, as it is now, is a self-appointed group of three who need the county commissioners to appoint them to give the SCCF standing. They want the commissioners then to appoint a fourth person and then the four members can appoint three more for a total of seven. They now refuse to adopt Oregon public meeting laws and their bylaws are “iffy” at this time. My concern is that the county commissioners have yet to show any leadership and demand the present SCCF shall adopt state public meeting laws and proper by-laws and the county commissioners shall appoint the four members to the SCCF.

Police quickly set up an incident command in front of the Pony Village Mall with the help of the North Bend Fire Department, and began scouring both the building and nearby Pony Slough for any sign of her. Officers from the Coos Bay Police Department also helped with the search effort. Mall security said they had checked Ross for Freeman earlier in the search, but didn't find her there at that time.

Veterans, it’s time to vote, the direction of county government is headed in a direction that has political groups in the driver’s seat and the average citizen is out. Why in the world would we allow 10% of the voters control 90% of the population? We have more than enough votes to change the direction of county government and make it work for all of us. If you know people who think their vote does not count, try to get them to vote, it counts this time. I would like to suggest two names:

Tell Coos Bay leaders how to pay for water, sewer City leaders are inviting residents to be part of the discussion about how to best pay for wastewater and street upgrades. Two meetings scheduled this month provide opportunities for Coos Bay residents and property owners to join the conversation about this community challenge. Street and wastewater options were outlined in a recent mailer sent to residents. Shoji has said that none of the options are attractive because each of them involves substantial cost to residents. In addition to Coos Bay residents, people living in Bunker Hill and Charleston will be affected by sewer rate increases.
The meetings will take place at noon May 13, at the Coos Bay Public Library and at 6 p.m. May 14, at Sunset Middle School. Citizens who wont be able to attend are invited to send written comments by email to rcraddock@coosbay.org or by mail to City Manager, Coos Bay City Hall, 500 Central Ave., Coos Bay, OR 97420.

Is Obama wrong on Ukraine? “What Would America Fight For?” That question shouts from the cover of last week’s Economist. It is, asserts the magazine, “the question haunting its allies.” While most agree that America would fight to defend her treaty allies and to protect vital interests if imperiled, the question is raised by President Obama’s reticence in Crimea, Ukraine and Syria. Asked in Manila how he answers critics who say his foreign policy appears to be one of “weakness,” the president, stung, replied: “Typically, criticism of our foreign policy has been directed at the failure to use military force. And the question ... I would have is, why is it that everybody is so eager to use military force after we’ve just gone through a decade of war at enormous costs to our troops and to our budget? “(M)ost of the foreign policy commentators that have questioned our policies would go headlong into a bunch of military adventures that the American people had no interest in participating in and would not advance our core security interests. “(M)any who were proponents of ... a disastrous decision to go into Iraq haven’t really learned the lesson of the last decade, and they keep on just playing the same note over and over again.” One senator Obama surely had in mind was PAT BUCHANAN Lindsey Graham who told “Face the Nation” recentColumnist ly, “I would sanction the of economy energy Russia, the banking sector of Russia, and try to drive the Russian economy into the ground.” But if you sanction her energy sector, Russia might retaliate by cutting off gas to Europe and Ukraine, causing a recession in the EU and a collapse in Kiev, requiring a massive bailout. Some of those billions in U.S., EU and IMF aid to Ukraine might have to be redirected to Vladimir Putin to keep the Ukrainians from freezing to death next winter. Lest we forget, the International Monetary Fund ranks Russia as the 8th largest economy while the World Bank ranks Russia No. 5. And would driving “the Russian economy into the ground” cause the Russian people to rise up and overthrow Putin? Did such sanctions produce regime change in Cuba, North Korea or Iran? Was Ronald Reagan a wimp for not imposing sanctions on Warsaw when Solidarity was crushed? Or was he a wise president who knew America would ultimately prevail in the Cold War? But Sen. Graham was only warming up, “I would help arm the Ukrainian people ... so they could defend themselves.” The Wall Street Journal echoed Graham: “Defensive but lethal weapons for Ukraine — anti-tank mines or artillery, modern guns — would raise the cost and risk of this intervention.” Yes, they would, and they would also increase the casualties on both sides. But would it affect the outcome of a UkraineRussia war? No. Which is probably why Ike never considered sending weapons to the Hungarian rebels and LBJ never considered sending arms to the Czechs when Leonid Brezhnev’s tanks crushed the Prague Spring. Another question arises: Would U.S. military transports landing in Kiev, with U.S. troops unloading mortars, mines and artillery pieces, be more likely to frighten Putin into paralysis,or provoke him into seizing Eastern Ukraine before the U.S. could make a NATO ally of Kiev? Suppose Russia responded by sending “defensive” weapons, S-300 surface-to-air missiles to Damascus and Tehran? It is something of a paradox that while most Americans want us to stay out of Syria — “somebody else’s civil war,” said Obama — and out of Crimea and Ukraine, Obama, who has done as the people wished, is regarded as weak in foreign policy. Still, one wonders why the GrahamMcCain Republicans continue to push a reluctant president to get more militarily involved in Ukraine. For it is almost an ironclad formula for failure to be led into a faraway war by a president who does not want to fight, and who leads a nation whose people do not want to be involved. Undeniably, Sens. Graham and John McCain speak for a goodly slice of the Beltway elite that believes the Iraq war was the right thing to do and that now wants to confront Russia, overthrow Bashir al Assad, and bomb Iran if she does not give up uranium enrichment. Yet most Americans want no part of this agenda. Among the winning arguments Obama had in 2012 was that he wanted America to do her nation-building right here at home. Yet, as the run up to 2016 nears, Hillary Clinton is not only more hawkish than Obama.She is more hawkish than her potential GOP rivals. Yet, other than Rand Paul, there appears to be no one in the Republican field who does not subscribe to the McCainGraham line. No wonder the neocons are already piling on the junior Senator from Kentucky.
Letters to the Editor Judges support Beaman retention We are five current Circuit Court judges serving Coos and Curry counties. We unanimously support and endorse, without reservation, Judge Cynthia Beaman for re-election as Circuit Court judge. Joining us in this support and endorsement are the two most recently retired judges for Coos and Curry counties. Together, we have over 130 years of experience as judges. Our unanimous support and endorsement is based on Judge Beaman being the only candidate with the experience to serve as a Circuit Court judge. For nine years before Judge Beaman was appointed and then elected as a Circuit Court judge, we observed her as a trial lawyer. Judge Beaman represented people in court in the same types of cases she now handles as a Circuit Court judge. It is our view that being a trial lawyer is the best preparation for becoming a trial judge. Judge Beaman’s opponent does not have that experience in Circuit Court. She has rarely been in Circuit Court, and when she has appeared, it has been in limited types of cases. Further, Judge Beaman’s opponent has not appeared in Circuit Court as a lawyer in a criminal case, has not participated in a jury trial and has only appeared rarely in a juvenile case. These areas make up the majority of the work of a Circuit Court judge. Judge Beaman has been a judge for six years and has gained more experience and knowledge. She has worked diligently for Coos and Curry counties. Judge Beaman has presided over a substantial number of criminal cases, juvenile cases and civil cases of every type in Circuit Court. She has also regularly handled traffic and small claims trials. Her opponent has not. Judge Beaman has presided over many jury and nonjury trials. She works hard to efficiently and fairly manage a difficult case load. In working as a judge, Judge Beaman has not only earned our respect, but has also earned a reputation in the legal community for her patience, preparation, integrity, hard work and fairness. We strongly urge the voters of Coos and Curry counties to consider Judge Beaman’s background and experience when casting their ballots. It is very important to keep Judge Beaman’s experience on the Circuit Court bench to ensure the experience and fairness necessary to do the work of a Circuit Court judge. Please join us in
voting for Judge Cynthia Beaman for Circuit Court judge. Richard L. Barron, Presiding Circuit Court Judge Michael J. Gillespie, Circuit Court Judge Paula M. Bechtold, Circuit Court Judge Martin E. Stone, Circuit Court Judge Jesse C. Margolis, Circuit Court Judge Hugh C. Downer, Jr., Retired Circuit Court Judge Richard K. Mickelson, Retired Circuit Court Judge
Not wrong to be a ‘politician’ With the May primary almost here, we increasingly hear candidates make reference to “politicians.” The use seems to insinuate a negative, or an obvious disconnect from the electorate. There are always a few bad apples in every profession, but we should be grateful to local civil servants willing to step up and work hard for us. After all, isn’t that exactly what each candidate says they will do if elected? And doesn’t that indicate that they themselves wish to become that “politician”? It seems that some don’t realize that “politicians” often serve years without pay — or if they are paid, it is barely enough to cover the expenses of doing the job. We all deserve to have our government work for us, but that requires a tremendous amount of work and dedication by “politicians.” Most deserve our respect and support, especially from those running to become that “politician.” Tim Freeman has served our community for years as a volunteer, first on the Roseburg Budget Committee, then five years as a city councilor. Taking all the knowledge gained from that experience, and coupled with his passion for his community, he has spent the last six years tirelessly representing much of Douglas County as state representative. Tim epitomizes the best of civil service. He is respectful, engaged, informative and always accessible. Tim put in the time and effort it took to gain knowledge and experience in the areas of complex budget management, crafting good policy and the administration of core services. As the News Review editor so aptly put it, the position of county commissioner is not for a beginner. We need an experienced hand at the helm of our county administration.
We need Tim Freeman as our next county commissioner. Jami Ellis Oakland
Kudlac brings new energy Oregon’s branches of government need some new energy, which is why I’m asking for your support in voting for Shala McKenzie Kudlac for Circuit Court judge. The judicial branch of government is not immune to the election process, though it is perceived to be, as so rarely is there an election. Governors often appoint judges, and those judges remain until retirement, never allowing the public a voice in their selection. This year in Coos and Curry counties the voters will select a judge. Shala McKenzie Kudlac, a local attorney with a strong civil practice, has stepped up and is opening the doors for a conversation on your judicial branch. Shala brings a new perspective and a desire for change and improvement. She has a wealth of experience and a background in dealing with the public in an open fashion as a municipal attorney and assistant county counsel. She knows that in order to win people’s trust they have to be respected, regardless of their background or perspective. I have known Shala McKenzie Kudlac for 10 years and have found her to have a practical approach to the law and a reasonableness in working with people. She would be a benefit to both Coos and Curry counties in the position of judge. Herman E. Baertschiger Jr. Grants Pass
Former resident bemoans LNG I lived, 24 years off of Cape Arago on Travis Lane. I moved a year and an half ago because of the pending LNG terminal. Our beautiful area needs jobs but, after the construction, this LNG terminal does not provide many: 36 at the terminal, some firefighters, tug boat operators and security. This pristine area should be about tourism — historic tours, hiking, surfing, canoe rides, bird watching, horses, fishing, boating. Hotels/spas and convention center, and Indian museum on the North Spit. Ferry boats going from Hollering Place to Charleston to the airport to the North Spit to take people to the hotels and charming restaurants/gift stores. Tourism, that is
how I see the North Spit. Over eight years I went to NB/CB meetings, county meetings and Port meetings. They had no positive direction for the North Spit. I presented a plan of what the North Spit could look like only to be scoffed at, saying tourism is just minimum wage jobs. But there are managers and others who would get more. These jobs would be great for kids going to SOCC, locals and retirees. Living across from the LNG terminal will be like living across from an oil refinery. Noise, pollution, exclusion zones. There are already towns like this: polluted. Our local allergist, Dr. Morgan, who has been to most of these meetings, told of the rise of allergies/asthma that will come. Quality of living will go down, along will housing value. Would you like to live across from this terminal? The “Zone of Concern,” which in the industry is called the “Kill Zone,” is a 3-mile radius. In that radius is the North Bend High School, Bay Area Hospital, Pony Village, North Bend Fire Department and police, airport, homes, and businesses. Who would authorize an LNG terminal across from these places, and especially an airport? Not to mention being built on a sandbar, and everyone is warning of the big 9.0 earthquake and tsunami to come. And don't even get me talking about the 234-mile, 95-foot by 36-inch wide pipeline going through Oregon's land and hundreds of bodies of water. Please protect the people in Coos Bay/North Bend. This hazard is not worth the few jobs it will bring. Camby Collier Gallatin, Tenn.

Cleanup Day a big success On behalf of the city of Coos Bay, I would like to thank the citizens of Coos Bay and North Bend
for participating in the 2014 Cleanup Day. The food donated to ORCCA will help many local families in their time of need. It was exciting to see our communities pull together and be a part of such a wonderful event. It goes to show how much we all take pride in our communities and will go the distance to help one another. This event could not have happened without our local sanitation
haulers (Coos Bay Sanitary, Les’ Sanitary, North Bend Sanitation) who took the time to help citizens unload their household garbage and recyclables from vehicles and into their trucks. They are a wonderful group to work with! Also, thank you to our local media groups (KCBY,K-DOCK,Bicoastal Media and The World Newspaper) who advertised this event. Lisa Magill Coos Bay

Forecast is cloudy for man whose wife seeks the sun DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 18 years to a wonderful woman who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few years ago. We don’t know how much time she has left, but she feels the cancer has robbed her of her “retirement.” She is trying to persuade our family to move to Florida so she can DEAR enjoy some w a r m weather. Abby, for many reasons I do not want to move. We have lived in t h e Midwest all JEANNE PHILLIPS our lives. My elderly p a r e n t would be all alone if we move, and I have a sibling who is also terminally ill. I have had the same job for 25 years, and I don’t want to give it up because I have the freedom to do much of my work from home, which allows me to help my wife and have income as well. If we move, there would be no guarantee that I could find a similar work situation that is so beneficial. My wife says I’m being selfish because I’m unwilling to leave my job, family and friends to do as she wants. I understand her desire to live in a warmer climate, but I think she’s the one who is being selfish. What do you think? — WANTS TO STAY PUT DEAR WANTS TO STAY PUT: I think the winter in the Midwest was brutal this year, and now the spring rains have arrived, which are also depressing. But in a short time the flowers will bloom and the warmth of summer and autumn will last for the next half-year. Why not take a vacation (or leave) from your job for the next three or four weeks? If you telecommute, you could still get some work done and let your wife have her dose of sunshine. Surely someone can check on your parent and keep you informed about your sibling for that short time. I do not recommend moving anywhere permanently because there’s no guarantee you’d find a job that compensates you as well as the one you have, and you may need the income. DEAR ABBY: A tall, attractive man came into the insurance office where I work to buy an auto insurance policy. I haven’t talked with men outside of my church in a long time, so I was nervous. I thought my heart would explode from beating so fast. He will be coming back in a couple of weeks, and I’m afraid if I don’t ask him out, I will regret it. I don’t know how to approach him or ask a guy out at all. Help! — NERVOUS OUT WEST DEAR NERVOUS: The man may be married, so take it slow. If he comes in before noon, casually mention there’s a restaurant not far away that serves good food and offer to show him. If he comes in later, use the old “want to grab a cup of coffee?” gambit. Either of these will give you a chance to talk with him and find out more about him without being overly obvious.

Wildcat rescue appeals fines after fatal attack SHERWOOD. (AP) — A suburban Portland wild cat sanctuary is appealing $5,600 in fines imposed by an Oregon state agency after a fatal cougar attack on an employee. The Oregonian reports that WildCat Haven Sanctuary representatives are scheduled for an informal hearing Wednesday with the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division. If agreement isn’t reached, a formal hearing with an administrative law judge would be the next step. Animal care technician Renee Radziwon-Chapman was killed Nov. 9 when she was attacked while cleaning a cougar enclosure alone. In findings announced in March, the state agency said that WildCat Haven violated its two-person safety procedure by allowing employees to work alone with the wild cats on a frequent basis. Investigators also said the latches on a smaller cage where cougars were locked out of the larger enclosure were inadequately designed. WildCat Haven said after the

Fishing pole, rope, cooler aid in rescue — RAINIER (AP) Bystanders who spotted a 72-year-old man clinging to a line attached to a fishing boat in the cold waters of a Columbia River marina used what was handy to rescue him — a fishing pole, a rope and a cooler. The Daily News of Longview, Washington, says Harold Caulfield spent nearly 20 minutes in the cold water Friday. Rainier, police say the man slipped and fell into the water as he walked his boat up a ramp at the Rainier Marina. Nearby fisherman Jim Nicklous saw the boat drifting into the river. Nicklous had nothing but his fishing pole. He cast and snagged a rope on the boat. Amazingly,

Allen Stark
Allen W. Stark Feb. 24, 1943 - May 5, 2014
Allen W. Stark, 71, of Florence, died suddenly, without any fuss, at his home in Florence on May 5, 2014. Born on Feb. 24, 1943, in his grandparents’ home, to William Allen and Anita Helf Stark. Allen's professional life was spent in the field of electronics and their applications to his inventions. His fondest boyhood wish was fulfilled when he joined the NASA team in Houston to work on the Apollo 11 moon landing mission. Al was proud of his military service in the U.S. Air Force, always remembering his “buddies” with love. He was very involved in the Utah Sheriff's Posse and Rescue Squad, restoring many of the lost to their families. As chief of the Park City, Utah fire dept., Allen was dedicated to the welfare of his neighbors. Al would have been proud of the Florence team who came to do this last service for him, one fire fighter to another, in a sensitive and professional manner. As Utah State Commander of The
American Legion, he suclobbied for cessfully veteran’s rights, being especially dedicated to Vietnam Vets, whom he felt had not been sufficiently honored. Al recently became an apprentice “sound-man” for the Church Of The Nazarene. He was also active in many fraternal organizations; PER of Park City Elks, Utah No. 734, Past officer of Park City, Utah and Salt Lake City Utah Masonic chapters; and served in many capacities for: Florence Masonic Lodge No. 107, Aurora Masonic Lodge No. 59 (Reedsport), North Bend Masonic Lodge No. 140 (Senior Warden 2014), Coos Bay Scottish Rite, York Rite: Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Oregon, Omega
Dozens of people rode their ATVs and motorcycles on an off-limits trail in southern Utah in a protest against what the group calls the federal government’s overreaching control of public lands. San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge said from 40 to 50 people, many of them waving American flags and some carrying weapons, drove about a mile down Recapture Canyon near Blanding Saturday and then turned around. Hundreds attended a rally at a nearby park before the protest. “It was peaceful, and there were no problems whatsoever,” the sheriff told The Associated Press. About 30 deputies and a handful of U.S. Bureau of Land Management law enforcement personnel watched as protesters drove past a closure sign and down the canyon located about 300 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman, the protest’s organizer, has said it was designed to show that the federal agency isn’t the “supreme authority” and local residents have a right to have their opinions heard. “We’re not proponents of breaking the law,” Lyman told The Salt Lake Tribune before the ride. “Just because BLM owns the property, that doesn’t mean they own the
right-of-way that exists.” Recapture Canyon is home to dwellings, artifacts and burials left behind by Ancestral Puebloans as many as 2,000 years ago before they mysteriously vanished. The riders may have damaged artifacts and dwellings that “tell the story of the first farmers in the Four Corners region” of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, BLM Utah State Director Juan Palma said in a statement. “The BLM was in Recapture Canyon today collecting evidence and will continue to investigate,” Palma said. “The BLM will pursue all available redress through the legal system to hold the lawbreakers accountable.” The group’s act of defiance marks the latest illustration of growing tension between angry rural Western residents and the federal government over management of public lands. The protest occurred nearly a month after Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his supporters, some of them armed militia members, thwarted a BLM roundup of his cattle near Bunkerville, Nevada, 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Bundy, a states’ rights advocate who refuses to acknowledge the authority of the federal government, owes more than $1 million in fees and penalties for letting his cattle use government land over the past 20 years.

Prep steps for first-time home buyers Buying a home can be exciting and terrifying, all at once. And for first-time buyers, you can probably multiply those feelings by a hundred. According to Wendy Highfield, of Innovative Real Estate Group in Denver, Colo., “Now is such a great time to purchase a home, especially with the low rates and personalized EVERYDAY proCHEAPSKATE loan grams available to help fa m i l i e s w i t h unique financial backgrounds.” M y b e s t Mary advice Hunt for any homeowners, but especially firsttimers, is to take the time to prepare. Not only will you be ready when the time is right, you’ll be more confident. 1. Boost Your Credit Score. Your credit score(s) will play a key role in your mortgage approval and the interest rate you’ll pay. Order your credit reports now from AnnualCreditReport.com, a free service authorized by federal law. Go over each report, dispute any errors and pay off as much debt as possible. You want to create a big gap between your overall available credit and the amount you are using at any given time. In the meantime, avoid big-ticket items such as cars or furniture and don’t apply for new credit. Triggering an inquiry or acquiring more debt by buying something can have a dramatic effect on the mortgage application and approval process. 2. Pull Together a Down Payment. Plan on needing between 20 and 30 percent down payment to qualify for the best mortgage rates. There are numerous programs available now, through FHA, for example, that allow a smaller down payment. Just beware that your interest rate will be higher and you will be required to carry private mortgage insurance, both of which will increase your monthly payment significantly. 3. Find the Best Real Estate Agent. “Look for a buyer’s agent who specializes in working with buyers and who offers you referrals, recent happy clients,” advises Wendy. “Call those referrals and find out all you can about their experience with this agent.” Your friends and family will be a great resource for finding a great Realtor. 4. Get Pre-Approved. Knowing what you can afford, what you qualify for and what type of loan you want can help you find the best deal when you’re ready to apply for a mortgage. To get started, research the differences between conventional and unconventional loans and use a mortgage term comparison calculator to get an idea of the cost. Find a great online mortgage calculator to get used to what monthly payments will look like. When you’re ready to shop for mortgages, use an online calculator such as the Get a Mortgage Quote tool at Realtor.com. This will allow you to see current rates and get quotes from lenders in your area. 5. Find the Right Home. Start reading and researching as much as you can as soon as you can. Use online such as resources Redfin.com and Zillow.com. Don’t wait until you’re ready to shop to start looking at homes. Start early by researching neighborhoods in your target city and viewing homes online to get an idea of pricing. Once you’re ready to shop, you’ll have a much better idea of what you want, where you want to live and what you can afford. Take your time; prepare well. Then don’t let anyone talk you into anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. One thing worse than not owning a home is getting in over your heads in a house you cannot afford.

Nation and World Ukraine regions vote on sovereignty DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Residents of two restive regions in eastern Ukraine engulfed by a pro-Russian insurgency cast votes Sunday in contentious and hastily organized independence referendums, which have been rejected as illegal by the Ukrainian government and the West. The ballots seek approval for declaring so-called sovereign people’s republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, where rebels have seized government buildings and clashed with police and Ukrainian troops over the past month. Ukraine’s interim president has said that independence for eastern regions will destroy the country’s economy. “This is a step into the abyss for the regions,” Oleksandr Turchynov said in comments posted on the presidential website Saturday.

Nigerian rights group calls for UN sanctions
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A Firefighters work the scene of a two car injury accident that was one of many that slowed traffic on I-25 at the Monument exit north of Colorado Springs, Colo. as a spring snowstorm swept through Colorado on leading Nigerian rights group is urging the U.N. Sunday.
Wet spring snows hit Rockies, Nebraska DENVER (AP) — A spring storm that has brought over a foot of snow to parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska and thunderstorms and tornadoes to the Midwest was slowing down travelers and left some without power Monday morning. The weather shut down a 150-mile stretch of Interstate 80 in Wyoming as well as a portion in neighboring Nebraska. Denver got about 5 inches of snow from the storm that intensified on Mother’s Day, but the snow mostly accumulated on the greening grass and trees, rather than sticking to roadways. The lingering snow slowed down Monday morning’s commute in the metro area but driving conditions were worse in the mountains, where over a foot fell in some spots. The snow blanketed much of the Nebraska Panhandle in the western part of the state, where I-80 was closed mostly to keep drivers from the worse conditions in Wyoming. Powerful thunderstorms also produced tornadoes in Nebraska on Sunday and caused damage in several towns and rural areas in the east of the state. Officials said
the storms damaged homes and businesses in or near Sutton, Garland, Cordova and Daykin, and knocked out power to 18,000 utility customers. By Monday morning, over 5,000 customers were still without power in the Omaha area. Meanwhile, parts of the Midwest, including Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, were hit by strong thunderstorms and hail, which caused some power outages. Julie Smith, a spokesDenver for woman International Airport, said crews treated runways in anticipation of dropping temperatures Sunday night. “At this point we are seeing some delays with our airlines while they are getting their deicing operations up and running, and we do expect the airlines to be fully deicing in the morning,” she said. About 25 flights were canceled Monday morning because of the weather. In the foothills southwest of Denver, two law enforcement vehicles were hit in less than an hour in traffic-related accidents on Sunday. A Jefferson County sheriff’s deputy helping a driver who slid off the road was injured
when his cruiser was hit by a sport utility vehicle that lost control. Then, a state trooper responding to the original crash was injured when a car lost control, crossed the center line and hit his cruiser head on. The driver from the first accident was in the backseat, but wasn’t injured. “May snow certainly isn’t unheard of here in Colorado, even down in the Denver metro area,” said David Barjenbruch, a weather service meteorologist in Boulder. “If we see the total accumulations that we are anticipating from this storm, we are certainly going to see a top 10 May snow event for the Denver metro area.” In the West, high winds at the bottom of the storm sent dust blowing across Arizona and New Mexico, and the Los Angeles area had been under “red flag” fire warnings, with authorities saying blazes could quickly spread out of control under low humidity, gusty winds and dry conditions. The storm is the result of a low-pressure system moving east colliding with a cold air mass from the north. Spring-like weather was expected to return to the Rockies by Tuesday.

Security Council to impose sanctions on the Islamic extremists that abducted some 300 schoolgirls, saying concern and condemnation are not enough. A statement Sunday from the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project says it is time for the council to “act decisively” and that the cost of inaction is “too high to contemplate.” It comes as more experts are expected in Nigeria to help in the search, including U.S. hostage negotiators. Nigeria’s government belatedly accepted offers of help last week from the United States, Britain, France, China and Spain amid mounting national and international outrage at its failure to rescue 276 girls abducted from a northeastern school on April 15. Fifty-three escaped. The militants are threatening to

It is the first public sight of the girls since more than 300 were kidnapped from a northeastern school the night of April 14 — exactly four weeks ago. Families have said most girls abducted are Christians but the about 100 shown under a tree in the video recite Muslim prayers in Arabic. Many are barefoot. Some appear fearful, others desolate.
Arkansas to appeal marriage ruling EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) — Lawyers for the state followed through with their promise to appeal a judge’s decision overturning the constitutional amendment overwhelmingly passed by voters in 2004 banning gay marriage. But not before 15 licenses were issued for same-sex couples in northwest Arkansas’ Carroll County. Gay marriage arrived in the Bible Belt on Saturday, beginning with two women who had traveled overnight to ensure they’d be first in line.
Insurgent attack kills 20 troops BAGHDAD (AP) — Militants in Iraq launched an audacious attack on a military barracks in a remote area in the country’s north and killed 20 troops overnight,including some who had been bound and shot at close range, authorities said Sunday. The killings at the barracks in the village of Ayn al-Jahish outside the north-
ern city of Mosul represent the latest blow to the government’s efforts to achieve stability in restive Sunnidominated areas. Gunmen staged the assault late Saturday night, two police officers said, shooting some at short range while others died when insurgents stormed the barracks.
Balloon crash looms over commencement DOSWELL, Va. (AP) — People in the University of Richmond community prepared for graduation Sunday with heavy hearts after the revelation that two athletic staff members were aboard a hot air balloon that drifted into a power line, burst into flames and crashed in Virginia. Undergraduate commencement was scheduled for the afternoon. Meanwhile, investigators were planning to resume their efforts to scour the woods and fields surrounding the site of Friday’s balloon crash for the remains of the third person aboard the balloon. Two bodies have already been found.
Monument reopening after earthquake WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Monument is reopening to the public, 33 months after an earthquake damaged the 130-year-old stone obelisk. After a morning ceremony, the 555-foot stone monument that was once the tallest structure in the world will reopen to visitors Monday afternoon. In August 2011, the monument’s white marble and mortar were cracked during an unusual 5.8-magnitude earthquake that sent visitors scrambling as debris fell. New exhibits have been installed, and visitors can once again ride an elevator to look out from the highest point in the nation’s capital.

Big spending on Conger, Wehby Continued from Page A1
Pregnant women gain new options under health law WASHINGTON (AP) — The health care law has opened up an unusual opportunity for some mothers-to-be to save on medical bills for childbirth. Lower-income women who signed up for a private policy in the new insurance exchanges will have access to additional coverage from their state’s Medicaid program if they get pregnant. Some women could save hundreds of dollars on their share of hospital and doctor bills. Medicaid already pays for nearly half of U.S. births, but this would create a way for the safety-net program to supplement private insurance for many expectant mothers. Officials and advocates say the enhanced coverage will be available across the country, whether or not a state expands Medicaid under the health law. However, states have different income cutoffs for eligibility, ranging from near the poverty line to solid middle class. The main roadblock right now seems to be logistical: reprogramming state and federal computer systems to recognize that certain pregnant women have a legal right to coverage both from Medicaid and private plans on
the insurance exchange. Technically, they can pick one or the other,or a combination. States and insurers will have to sort out who pays for what. Another big challenge will be educating the public about this latest health law wrinkle. It’s complicated for officials and policy experts, let alone the average consumer. “This is an issue where women are going to have to figure out, ‘I’m eligible for both, now how do I do that?”’ said Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors, which represents state programs. “But what a wonderful problem to have. This is a great problem to have from the consumer’s perspective.” The cost impact for federal and state taxpayers is uncertain. Providing more generous coverage increases costs, but comprehensive prenatal care can save money by preventing premature births and birth defects. Cynthia Pellegrini, head of the March of Dimes’ Washington office, said many women might not have been thinking about maternity benefits when they signed up for coverage under
the health law. The cost of normal uncomplicated childbirth averages $5,000, said Pellegrini, and preterm births can cost more than 10 times that. Copayments and deductibles add up fast. Before the health law, states offered special, timeto coverage limited uninsured pregnant women until their children were born. That coverage is not only for poor women; some states provide benefits to middle-class women as well. Then came the Affordable Care Act, with federally subsidized private insurance for people who don’t have a health plan on the job. The law, however, drew a line between Medicaid and coverage through the exchanges: If you’re eligible for Medicaid you generally can’t get government-subsidized private insurance. That barrier fell away when the Treasury Department ruled that Medicaid’s targeted insurance for pregnant women did not meet the definition of “minimum essential coverage” required by the health law. That’s because the coverage is temporary and states can restrict the services the pay for.

they’ll be counted and results announced. The winner will take on Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley in the general election. “We definitely are making a difference, and voters are hearing,” said Gayle Atteberry, executive director of Oregon Right to Life, which has spent $192,000 through its traditional political action committee on radio ads, mailers and other communication opposing Wehby. “We’ll see how much they respond on election day.” Wehby is positioning herself as a centrist who can appeal to a general-election audience. She says she personally opposes abortion but the federal government should stay out of it, raising the ire of social conservatives. Another social-conservative group, American Principles Fund, has spent $180,000 on television ads criticizing Wehby and promoting Conger. The group is funded almost entirely by Sean Fieler, an executive at Equinox Partners LP, a New York-based hedge fund. Wehby’s getting plenty of outside help from other quarters, however. A super PAC called NewRepublican.org, founded by GOP strategist Alex Castellanos, has reported spending $491,000 to boost Wehby on television radio and the Internet. The group aims to the “re-express conservative principles to fit our time” and “rebuild the Republican brand,” said Gentry Collins, a GOP political adviser who serves as the group’s treasurer. The super PAC was formed last year, but it had spent very little money before backing Wehby. It’s funded largely by five members of the DeVos family, which has donated extensively to conservative causes. “We think Dr. Wehby has a compelling story to tell,” Collins said. “We think she’s particularly well-qualified for the office, and she’s got a great profile from which to

explain to voters why our principles work to get the country to a better place.” If she clears the primary, NewRepublican.org intends to continue backing Wehby in the general election, Gentry said. A super PAC called “If He Votes Like That In Salem Imagine What He Will Do In Congress” has reported raising $100,000, three-quarters of it from Nevada businessman Loren Parks and the rest from Andrew Miller, chief executive of Stimson Lumber in Portland. Both are prolific donors to Republican candidates in Oregon. After deducting operating expenses, the super PAC says it’s spent $93,000, largely on radio ads, mailers and billboards blasting Conger, saying he voted with Democrats on key issues important to Republicans. The chairman of the Democratic Party of Oregon, Frank Dixon last week filed a complaint with the FEC alleging Miller illegally coordinated with Wehby, whom Miller describes as a friend he’s “known for years.” He denies the charge, saying he’s done nothing more than donate the money. “I have had no editorial input into that whatsoever. And have no input to veto anything,” Miller said. “The person running that campaign (the super PAC), his condition was, ‘You give me the money and you’re going to have to trust everything I do, and that’s it.’ “ He got to see advertising hours before it went on air, but he had no ability to change the content, he said. Another super PAC, Leadership Oregon Can Trust, registered with the FEC on May 2, but it has not reported raising or spending any money.

Pirates finish second in tennis THE WORLD
The Associated Press
San Antonio’s Tony Parker drives against Portland’s Nicolas Batum during Game 3 of their NBA second-round playoff series Sunday.
Portland faces elimination tonight PORTLAND (AP) — The intensity and focus that has the Spurs rolling 3-0 over Portland in the Western Conference semifinals can be traced to their Game 3 loss to Dallas in the first round. Vince Carter hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer and the Mavericks went up 2-1. But San Antonio simply was not going to concede the opening round after last season’s disappointing Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat for the NBA title. “Down 2-1, Dallas really made it a series. They played great basketball — everybody was playing very well on that team and they made it hard on us,” Spurs guard Tony Parker said. “In Game 7 you have to show up because if you don’t the season’s over. I think we learned from it and so far, we’re playing good.” Boris Diaw also pointed to the Dallas series, which San Antonio won with a 119-96 victory in the deciding Game 7. “We had our back against the wall and we had to play good,” he said. “We’ve been playing the same way since then — so probably a turning point for us.” Tonight the Spurs will try to dispatch the Trail Blazers in four games — and hopefully get some rest before the conference finals against the winner of the other semifinal between
Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers. “This is as well as I’ve seen them play all season,” Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. “By Game 7 against Dallas, they came out of the gate and they haven’t stopped since then.” No team has ever lost a seven-game NBA playoff series after going up 3-0. The Blazers were the last team to take a series to seven games after dropping the first three. Portland rebounded in the first round against Dallas in 2003 but ultimately lost the firstround series’ deciding game. Parker scored 29 points in San Antonio’s 118103 Game 3 victory on Saturday night. The Spurs had routed the Blazers 116-92 in the series opener after their grueling series against the Mavericks, then built a 20-point lead and won Game 2, 114-97. Parker has scored 29 or more points in three of his last four playoff games. He had 20 points in the first half alone in Game 3 against Portland. In the 119-96 Game 7 victory over the Mavericks, he poured in 32. The Spurs have managed to slow down Portland All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge, who averaged 29.8 points in the first round against the Houston Rockets.
The Blazers have been hurt by the loss of backup point guard Mo Williams to a groin injury. Williams has provided both energy and points off the bench all season in relief of Damian Lillard. His absence was noticeable in Saturday night’s loss, with Portland getting just six points from its bench. “Monday is a new game, and we are confident we are capable of winning,” Lillard said. “It is also about our pride. We do not want to come out here and get swept. We still believe we can win a game — we have to come out here and play like it.” Portland advanced to the second round for the first time in 14 years by defeating the Rockets in six games, clinching the series with Lillard’s amazing 3-pointer at the buzzer at home for a 99-98 victory in the deciding game. The Spurs have a 3-2 series advantage over Portland in the playoffs, sweeping the previous meeting in the 1999 conference finals. The teams split the regular-season series 2-2. “We’d love to close this thing out,” San Antonio’s Tim Duncan said. “We’ve had pretty decent control of it throughout and we want to finish it the right way and get some rest.”
Kaymer hangs on to win at Sawgrass PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Martin Kaymer thought his gap wedge to the island green on the 17th hole at The Players Championship was fine. He couldn’t believe it when he realized it had bounced sideways and spun so hard that it wound up in the shaggy collar, a foot away from going into the water. That one shot summed up the final hour of Kaymer’s remarkable victory Sunday at the TPC Sawgrass. There was stress and surprise around every corner, not the least of which was Kaymer saving par with a 30-foot putt on the 17th hole that sped down a slope, turned right and rolled into the middle of the cup. That carried him to a one-shot victory over Jim Furyk, the first trophy for the 29year-old German since the end of 2012. He putted from short of the 18th green to 3 feet, rapped that in for another par and closed with a 1-under 71. But it was that par on the 17th that will be the signature moment of a peculiar week at Sawgrass. “I thought it was actually a good golf shot, maybe 2 feet short,” Kaymer said. “I don’t know. That’s the way it looked

Yeah, I look forward to seeing the 17th hole in general. It was a very strange way to make a 3.” It was a finish Kaymer could not have imagined. Jordan Spieth began The Players by going 58 holes without a bogey, only to make five in the next 11 holes and miss another opportunity at a big event. He shared the 54-hole lead at the Masters and The Players and watched someone
else leave with the trophy. Furyk was the runner-up for the second straight week, both times from the locker room. He closed with a 66 — waiting 90 minutes through a storm delay before he could return to tap in for par on the 18th, and then another hour to see if his 12-under 278 would be enough to catch Kaymer, or at least force a playoff. Kaymer, who looked so finely tuned all week, was a changed man after the rain delay. He hard-
ly missed a shot and built a threeshot lead, only to return from the break and leave his thinking cap back in the clubhouse at Sawgrass. A bad tee shot and an even worse chip led to a double bogey on the 15th hole, and suddenly his lead was down to one shot. In position to make birdie at the par5 16th, he chose the safe — nervous, in this case — play with a putter up the slope of the green and had to two-putt from 35 feet just to make par. And on the 17th, his situation was so dire that he kept telling himself he still had the 18th — where the hole location was in a favorable spot for birdies — to win the next best thing to a major. Instead, the German who keeps so calm let loose a fist pump that would have made Tiger Woods proud when his 30-footer dropped for par. “Making a putt like this is more than big,” said Kaymer, who finished at 13-under 275. “I think I will realize it the next few days. Making those putts in those situations is quite impressive. It gives me a lot of belief and a lot of confidence that I can make those putts. I’ve done it in the past, and today again. It’s a great feeling.”
SWOCC golfer shares lead at Bandon Dunes THE WORLD Cole Chavez shot an even-par 72 to lead SWOCC to second place after the first round of the Southwestern Oregon Community College Invitational at Bandon Dunes on Sunday. Chavez and Spokane’s Evan Omelia shared first place in the individual race. Tyler Swinton shot a 73 for SWOCC on Sunday. Montana Frame and Garrett Ramsey both shot 77. That gave the Lakers a team score of 299, which was two shots behind Spokane in a tight team race. The tournament concludes today. Reyn Morioka had an 81 and Trey Udy an 84 for SWOCC on Sunday. For the women, Alexandra
McQuarrie shot a 92 to lead SWOCC, while Brittany Banks had a 103 and Natalie Fleck a 108. Columbia Basin’s Hope Niedhold built a 13-stroke lead in the individual race with a 74. Columbia Basin also had the team lead, by 14 strokes over Spokane. SWOCC was third. The tournament is the final one of the regular season, with the NWAACC championships next weekend at Tri-Cities, Wash.
BASEBALL SWOCC’s baseball team won three of four games over the weekend, setting up a big final week in the team’s quest for a spot in the NWAACC tournament. The Lakers picked up a valuable sweep in Salem on Saturday, topping Chemeketa 3-1 and 4-2.
On Sunday, they split with Mount Hood, winning 5-4 and losing 3-0. Those games originally were rained out Friday. Against Chemeketa, Riley Phillips pitched a gem in the opener, throwing a five-hitter. Cedriz Zumwalt had two hits and scored one of the runs for the Lakers. Garrett Rudy and Charlie Walker scored the other two runs. Taylor Williamson had an RBI. In the nightcap, the Lakers rallied to win with three runs in the seventh inning. Rudy was hit by a pitch, Taylor Raff singled, and both scored, along with Zumwalt, on a drive by Zumwalt that was misplayed for an error by the Storm. Raff earlier had an RBI to drive in Taylor Higgins with the Lakers’ first run in the second inning.
AJ Doolittle picked up the win for the Lakers in relief of Jordan Farley, who gave up just five hits, but both Chemeketa runs. In the first game against Mount Hood, the Lakers rallied from a 41 deficit to win in 10 innings. In the final inning, Zumwalt drew a two-out walk, Hunter Combs was hit by a pitch and Williamson had an RBI single. Williamson had three hits and two RBIs in the game and Zumwalt scored two of the runs. Dalton Ridgeway pitched a complete-game, allowing nine hits and the four runs. In Sunday’s second game, Mount Hood’s Zane Bambusch limited the Lakers to just five hits, two by Combs. SEE SWOCC | B2
Marshfield’s girls tennis team placed second in the Class 4A-3A2A-1A District 3 tennis championships Saturday in the Bend area. Henley finished with 21 points, while Marshfield had 19, Klamath Union 18 and North Bend and Sisters 16 each. The Bulldogs were trying to defend their title, but will have to settle with sending a doubles team to the upcoming state tournament. Marshfield also has a doubles team heading to state, as well as singles player Katie Boesl. Boesl lost in the semifinals to eventual champion Nicole Morse of Cascade Christian 7-5, 6-2, but bounced back to beat Junction City’s Belen Recuero 6-3, 2-6, 10-7. “Belen is a tough opponent who makes very few mistakes and beat a number of good players,” Marshfield coach Aron Boesl said. “Katie fought through and finished strong.” North Bend’s Taylor Cuzzort and Hannah SchandelmeierLynch finished second in the doubles event, beating the Henley squad they lost to a week earlier, Vanessa Matheson and Jessee Vezo, in the semifinals before falling to district champions Marisa Dovery and Lily Inthisan of Klamath Union. The match against Vezo and Matheson was a three-set thriller, 6-4, 2-6, 10-6, with the final point delayed three hours because of weather issues. Because of weather that included snow, matches were played at five different sites over the three days of the tournament. Cuzzort and SchandelmeierLynch lost the championship match 6-4, 6-2 to Doveri and Inthisan. The KU pair beat Marshfield’s Abby Clough and Sara Springael 6-3, 6-1 in the semifinals and Marshfield’s duo fell to Matheson and Vezo 6-1, 6-1 in the thirdplace match. “The doubles teams in this league will go far at state, so it was great to get Sara and Abby through to state,” Aron Boesl said. “They are very excited.” Marshfield doubles partners Braeden Kennedy and Desiree Guirado won the consolation championship, beating North Bend’s Bailey Lyon and Karen LaGesse 8-3 in the semifinals and then coming from behind to top Olivia Curran and Kiley Mehlbrech of Junction City 0-6, 6-3, 10-7 in the final. “It was awesome to see Braeden and Desiree stay focused and bounce back from that first set loss and pull out the win,” Boesl said. “Their win moved us in the second-place spot.” Curran and Mehlbrech beat North Bend’s Payton Smith and Raegan Spence 9-8 (7-5) in the consolation semifinals. Marshfield’s one singles player still alive in consolation, Lindsay Brown, fell 8-1 to Amanda Goodwin of Junction City. The Pirates had a successful run in their first year since dropping down from Class 5A. “We are very excited about the results of districts this year,” Boesl said. The Class 4A-3A-2A-1A championships are May 22-24 at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Vaughn, ASU qualify for NCAA THE WORLD Reedsport graduate Monica Vaughn will play in the NCAA golf championships as a freshman.

Arizona State finished 13 shots behind regional champion USC — the two were tied for first entering the final day. Vaughn tied for 17th despite shooting a 79 in the final round. She shot 74 the first round and 72 the second. The Sun Devils are No. 6 in the NCAA rankings.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin, front right, celebrates with his teammates after Sunday’s win over Oklahoma City.
Clippers rally to tip Thunder THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — After being thoroughly outplayed for over 40 minutes, the Los Angeles Clippers fought back. Leading the way was a player not known for coming up big in the clutch. Darren Collison scored eight of his 18 points in the final 2:58, rallying the Clippers past the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-99 on Sunday to tie the Western Conference semifinal series 2-2. “Even though we didn’t play well throughout the game, we were able to get a win,” Collison said. “That feels more impressive than anything we did.” Russell Westbrook, who scored 27 points, missed a 3pointer and Serge Ibaka’s tip attempt was too late at the buzzer, allowing the Clippers to salvage a game they trailed until the final 1:23. “It was a good look,” Westbrook said. “Just didn’t go in.” Blake Griffin led Los Angeles with 25 points, making 9 of 11 free throws. Jamal Crawford added 18 points. DeAndre Jordan had 14 rebounds, helping the Clippers win the boards, 4543 — the first time in 11 playoff games the Thunder were outrebounded. “We just willed this one.
NBA Recap
We found a way,” said Chris Paul, who had 23 points and 10 assists. Kevin Durant scored 40 points, hitting 15 of 18 free throws, for the Thunder. “We let this one slip away,” he said. “We could have took control of the series.” Game 5 is Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. “We were almost on the mat and we got off of it. We didn’t get pinned,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “They’re seething right now. They had an opportunity to go up 3-1 and now it’s an even series.” It was the 14th comeback — and largest yet — by the Clippers this season after trailing by double digits. They rallied from 12 points down in the second quarter of Game 7 to oust Golden State in the first round. “This is one of the best ones yet,” Paul said. “Darren Collison was amazing. You just got to love a guy like that who plays with so much heart and never gives up.” The Clippers had no answer for Durant and Westbrook until midway through the fourth quarter. That dynamic duo drove the lane with abandon, drew fouls and made free throws in leading the Thunder to an early 22-point lead. Durant’s three-point play early in the fourth extended the Thunder’s lead to 15 points, and they were still up by 10 with 7:44 to go.
But the comeback Clippers were not to be denied. “Everybody kept telling each other, ‘Chip away, chip away,’” Griffin said. “That was kind of our mentality for the rest of the game. We just kept fighting.” The Clippers stole a page out of the Thunder’s playbook, switching to a smaller lineup that included Collison and Danny Granger, who helped disrupt the Thunder’s rebounding late. Paul willed his team back into it, scoring six straight points to get the Clippers within six. Griffin, who was saddled with five fouls, made three of four free throws before Collison got hot. “The whole time I’m thinking, ‘We can't be down 3-1, we just can't be down 3-1 going to Oklahoma,’” Collison said. With the game tied at 97, Collison scored the Clippers’ final four points on layups. Crawford passed to a streaking Collison for a fast-break conversion on the second one for a 101-97 lead with 32 seconds left. Westbrook scored for the Thunder, but after Griffin missed, Westbrook did too to end the game. Pacers 95, Wizards 92: Paul George had a career playoff-high 39 points and added 12 rebounds to lead Indiana back from a 19-point deficit and past Washington in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pacers lead the series
3-1 and can close it out Tuesday night at home. George played 46 minutes and scored 28 points in the second half, including making six of his franchise playoff-record-tying seven 3-pointers. Roy Hibbert had 17 points and nine rebounds, continuing his recent surge after a poor-as-can-be start to the series. Bradley Beal led Washington with 20 points.
SATURDAY Nets 104, Heat 90: Joe Johnson scored 19 points, Andray Blatche had career playoff highs of 15 points and 10 rebounds, and the Brooklyn Nets handed the Miami Heat their first loss this postseason in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Paul Pierce scored 14 points, Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett bounced back from awful offensive efforts, and the Nets withstood LeBron James’ 16-point first quarter, then held him to two baskets over the final three quarters. Brooklyn, which swept Miami in the regular season, can tie the series with a victory tonight in Game 4. James scored 28 points for the Heat, who hadn’t even faced a fourth-quarter deficit in these playoffs before having their eight-game winning streak in the postseason snapped. It was their first loss since Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Gordon earns first win of NASCAR season KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — At any age, Jeff Gordon sure knows how to win. Nearly two decades after he burst onto the scene with his first victory, Gordon keeps taking checkered flags, storming to the lead in the final laps at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night for his first victory of the season and 89th overall in NASCAR’s top series. The 42-year-old Gordon held off a hard-charging Kevin Harvick on the final lap to move into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. Gordon won for the first time since October at Martinsville and became the ninth driver to win in the first 11 races this season. He entered the race with the points lead, but exclaimed a weight was lifted off his shoulders as he crossed the finish line for his third Kansas victory. “I’m just so proud of (the 24 team). They have been giving me the best race cars all year long,” Gordon said. “I have been having so much fun. I’m going to be 43 this year and I feel like I’m 25 again. That is the way they make me feel.” Kasey Kahne was third, followed by Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Danica Patrick was seventh for her best career Cup finish. Gordon built his points lead on the strength of four top-fives and seven top-10s in the first 10 races — including second-place finishes at Texas and Richmond — but he knew how much

NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon celebrates after winning at Kansas Speedway on Saturday. one win would ease pressure on his Hendrick Motorsports team. He got it under the lights at Kansas. “This is so sweet,” he said. “What a huge weight lifted off this team’s shoulders. We needed to get to Victory Lane.” Gordon is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his first career Cup victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the pres-
TRACK & FIELD SWOCC’s athletes had an off day in the South Region championships at Clackamas on Saturday as the Lakers finished sixth in both the men’s and women’s team races. Lane swept the titles. A pair of distance runners from Marshfield highlighted SWOCC’s results. Jasmine Meline was second in the women’s 800 in a time of 2 minutes and 21 seconds. Zach Hammond placed second in the triple jump in 10:10. Chase Messerle, another
tigious Coca-Cola 600. He will go for his fourth Coca-Cola 600 victory May 25. At Daytona this year, Gordon insisted he was serious about considering retirement with a fifth championship. He looks every bit a title contender — but said he feels like he could race until 50 if his cars are this stout. “The whole retirement thing I think is thrown out too much,” he said. “I know I’m somewhat to blame for that.” After the start of the race was delayed 35 minutes by rain, the first Sprint Cup night race at Kansas soon left drivers in the dark after the lights went out on the backstretch. NASCAR polled drivers if they wanted to continue and they were good to go, with Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards among the many who said the track was bright enough to race. Harvick led the final 36 laps in his October win and led the first 41 on Saturday before briefly falling into the middle of the pack. Harvick worked his way to the front in the No. 4 Chevrolet and opened a commanding lead over Gordon and Logano. He led a race-high 119 laps in the 400-mile race — small consolation once Gordon grabbed the lead with eight to go. With two wins already, Harvick has been a force in his first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, but his dominant Chevrolet ran out of gas on his last pit stop and lost time that he couldn’t recover.
former Pirate, qualified for the NWAACC championships while clearing 14 feet, 2 inches to place seventh in the pole vault. But teammate Paul Harlow pulled a hamstring in the same event and now is questionable to be able to participate in the championship meet, coach Dan Neal said. Eric Jordan placed fourth in the shot put (42-2) and Jovenn Pacheco was seventh in the discus (132-6) and shot put (39-1). Myrtle Point graduate Kyle Seals was fifth in the
javelin (162-6) and Reedsport graduate Brandon Gannon was seventh in the triple jump (40-11). For the women, Kathryn Pitts was sixth in the long jump (16-2) and seventh in the triple jump (33-10). Nikki Puaa was fifth in both the shot put (39-2) and discus (114-8), while McKenzie DeVault was fourth in the discus (125-11) and had a personal best of 358 in the shot put, but did not place. Rachel Huffman was sixth in the discus (111-9) and eighth in the javelin (113-11).
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Motor Speedway officially opened for the month of May with a chaotic road course race that started with a wreck, saw James Hinchliffe and the mayor of the city injured by flying debris, and, finally, Simon Pagenaud celebrate a fuel-mileage victory. Pagenaud won the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday, the first IndyCar Series race on IMS’ road course, by stretching his fuel the final 29 laps. The Frenchman was one of several drivers to gamble on gas, and he took the lead when Oriol Servia had to stop with four laps remaining. Pagenaud managed to make it to the finish for his third series victory despite having to keep an eye on his mirrors. Ryan Hunter-Reay was second and Helio Castroneves third on his 39th birthday. “Man I didn’t know what we were asking for, but we made fuel,” Pagenaud said in Victory Lane. “The fuel saving was amazing. It was nerve-wracking. I was worried about RHR coming back, and I didn’t know what Helio was doing here. I don’t like racing off throttle.” Sebastien Bourdais and Charlie Kimball rounded out the top five. Hinchcliffe was taken from the track on a stretcher and transported to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a concussion after he was hit in the head with debris. A replay appeared to show debris from a car in front of him flew into his cockpit following a restart. IndyCar said he’ll have to be re-evaluated before he’s cleared again to drive. Preparations began Sunday for the Indianapolis 500, with qualifying scheduled to begin this weekend for the May 25 race. IndyCar policy in the past has been to hold a driver with a concussion out of the car a
minimum of seven days. Andretti Autosport said EJ Viso will be the standby driver for Hinchcliffe. “I’m a little stiff and sore and I’d love to be back in the car tomorrow, but I suppose I should probably let the doctors make that decision,” Hinchcliffe said in a statement. Hunter-Reay said he drove by Hinchcliffe’s car and couldn’t figure out what happened. “I was actually next to him on track and all of a sudden debris went everywhere and he slowed up,” HunterReay said about his teammate. “It was something that happened in front of him and he was hit.” The race began with a violent wreck when pole-sitter Sebastian Saavedra stalled on the standing start. He was hit by multiple cars, and debris struck Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard as he waved the green flag. Saavedra’s car simply didn’t go when the lights went out and, after Hunter-Reay frantically darted around him, Saavedra was clipped by Carlos Munoz and then hit hard from behind by Mikhail Aleshin. “We just followed protocol at the start,” Saavedra said. “As soon as I released the clutch, it went from 11,000 rpm to zero. This should not have happened, unfortunately.” The initial hit from Munoz didn’t seem too bad, but Aleshin’s direct hit sprayed debris all over the track, sending spectators and track workers standing along the wall scrambling for cover. Saavedra was seen in his cockpit with his arms in the air anticipating a potential collision as cars tried to weave their way around his stalled KV Racing car. He was visibly upset after the accident as he talked to his team on his pit stand. He had won the first pole of his career — in part because Hunter-Reay had his two fastest laps disallowed for causing a caution in Friday’s qualifying — and was looking for a strong finish at the famed race track.
Mercedes teammates dominate again MONTMELO, Spain (AP) — Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg sped away to their fourth straight one-two finish at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday in a dominant performance that does not bode well for the rest of the Formula One field. Hamilton took off from pole position and stayed ahead of Rosberg — despite the German closing to less than a second in a tense final lap — to record a fourth consecutive victory and move ahead of his teammate in the overall standings. Hamilton’s 100 points after five races put him three points ahead of Rosberg, who failed to find a way in front of his main rival for a fourth straight time after winning the season opener. His 26th career win gave Hamilton one more than former world champions Niki Lauda, who now works for Mercedes, and Jim Clark. Hamilton set himself on course to add to his own title from 2008. He hadn’t led the championship since June 2012 after winning the Canadian GP with McLaren. “This is our fourth onetwo, it’s just unreal,” Hamilton said after Rosberg helped douse him in champagne to celebrate his first victory at the BarcelonaCatalunya circuit. “Getting my first win here after trying for eight years, it is difficult to put into words my feeling. I have never had a car like this. I have never had a gap like this. I am grateful I was able to keep (Rosberg) behind me.” Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo finished third for his first career podium after coming close on three occasions this year. Four-time defending champion Sebastian Vettel had a flawless drive to move up from a 15th-place start to
finish fourth, with his Red Bull finally not having any problems following two days of it stalling in practice and qualifying. Valtteri Bottas of Williams was fifth, followed by struggling Ferrari duo Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen in sixth and seventh. Lotus’ Romain Grosjean and Force India pari Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg rounded out the points. McLaren made no progress with Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen coming in 11th and 12th. Not even a three-week break for their rivals to improve their cars prevented Mercedes from earning its fifth win in as many events this year in a disheartening display for the other 10 teams. Ricciardo ended up more than 48 seconds slower than Rosberg. Alonso was left in a distant third place in the standings with 49 points, followed by Vettel with 45. Mercedes increased its lead in the constructor’s championship race to 197 points. Red Bull is second with 84 points, with Ferrari trailing in third with 66. After executing a clean start, the Silver Arrows focused on protecting their tires and preparing a final fight at the end of the race to decide which driver would to settle with being runner-up. The two opted for different pit stop strategies, with Hamilton pitting first to change to a faster pair of medium tries before Rosberg went in to get a second set of slower, but more resistant, hard tires. It appeared Rosberg’s tactics to then finish on his set of faster tires was going to pay off as Hamilton’s advantage evaporated, but Hamilton kept his nerves in check and his vehicle in front until the 66th and final lap.

Timbers salvage draw with last-minute goal PORTLAND (AP) — Diego Valeri scored in the final minute of stoppage time to pull the Portland Timbers into a 1-1 draw with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday. The equalizer came after Robbie Keane’s header two minutes into stoppage time appeared to give the Galaxy the win. Los Angeles peppered Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts with shots all game, but couldn’t break through until Keane’s fifth goal of the season. Valeri’s goal was his second of
the year. “We fell asleep at the end of the game,” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. “A bunch of guys can do better on the play. But we played very well today, should have walked away with three points.” Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan remained at 134 career MLS goals, tied with Jeff Cunningham for the league record. Neither team was satisfied with the draw. Portland, which finished with
the best regular season record in the Western Conference last season, has only one victory so far this year, last weekend’s late 3-2 win over D.C. United. “Bottom line is, we’ve not been good enough,” Timbers coach Caleb Porter said. Arena and Keane were upset that Portland’s Donovan Nagbe wasn’t called for a foul on Juninho on a breakaway before Valeri’s gametying goal. “Some poor decisions we have
to accept, and take responsibility ourselves as well, because the last minute of the game you shouldn’t be conceding a goal,” Keane said. The Galaxy were coming off a 10 loss to the Colorado Rapids last weekend, snapping a four-match unbeaten streak. Los Angeles was without center back Omar Gonzalez, who hurt his left knee in the first half of the loss at Colorado. He’s being held out as a precaution so that he can take part in the U.S. national team’s training
for the World Cup. Gonzalez and Donovan are expected to report Wednesday to the U.S. team’s training camp at Stanford. Portland was hurt early when defender Michael Harrington left the match with an apparent right ankle injury. The ankle had bothered him early this week. Later in the game Portland midfielder Diego Chara came off after what appeared to be a left hand injury, replaced by Ben Zemanski.

Sports Richmond staffers die in balloon accident THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHMOND, Va. — One was the constant in Richmond women’s basketball, the beloved assistant coach who had been on staff for 15 seasons, remaining through two coaching changes. The other was hardly out of college, always cheerful and willing to help and with a demeanor that led others to expect great things. As the University of Richmond on Sunday grieved the losses of associate head coach Ginny Doyle and director of basketball operations Natalie Lewis in a fiery hot-air balloon accident, friends and colleagues praised them as shining faces of the program and whose expertise and cheer will be difficult to replace. “There’s not a person in this business that doesn’t see Ginny as just a light,” Joanne Boyle, now the coach at Virginia, said of Doyle, who was on her staff with the Spiders from 2002-05. “She was just a light for other people, and when you talk about this business and the genuineness and caring about the kids and what’s best for the student-athletes, she epitomized that, and I know people would line up to say that about her.” Doyle and Lewis died Friday night when their balloon drifted into a power line, burst into flames and fell into a heavily wooded area about 25 miles north of Richmond. They were there for a special preview of a festival set to open Saturday. Doyle, 44, was hired by Bob Foley at Richmond in 1999. When Boyle got her first head coaching job, replacing Foley at Richmond, Doyle “just rose to the top” in an interview and Boyle decided to keep her on staff. She also tried to get Doyle to come along when she left for California, but with no luck. Instead, Doyle stayed on again when Michael Shafer took over, and rose three years ago to associate head coach. “She would talk about Richmond and the school as though she had started the university,” Boyle said Saturday. “That’s how entrenched she was in that community. ... She gave her heart to that school, and that being said, she did the same with her family. ... Her life was about serving other people.” The same was true for Lewis, a four-year letterwinner in swimming who just completed her second season with the basketball program. Her job required great organization skills as she made travel, hotel and bus arrangements for the team, planned for meals and handled day-to-day basketball business.

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman throws against the Colorado Rockies in the ninth inning Sunday. Chapman, who was making his first appearance since being hit in the head with a line drive in spring training, earned the save in Cincinnati’s 4-1 win.
Chapman returns to mound for Reds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Aroldis Chapman made his first major league appearance since being hit above the eye by a line drive during spring training, striking out the side in the ninth inning with his 100 mph fastball to close out Cincinnati’s 4-1 victory over Colorado on Sunday. To d d Frazier hit NL his second 400-foot Recap home run in three days to back Homer Bailey (3-2) as the Reds won the rubber match of the three-game series. Chapman was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd of 33,143. He reached 100 mph with his first pitch and topped out at 102 mph in earning the save. Chapman had been out since a frightening injury March 19. Skip Schumaker drove in two runs and the Reds capitalized on two throwing errors to send the Rockies to their third loss in four games. Charlie Blackmon hit his ninth homer for Colorado. Giants 7, Dodgers 4, 10
innings: Pablo Sandoval and Hector Sanchez hit RBI singles in the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants recovered to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers after closer Sergio Romo gave up a tying homer to Hanley Ramirez. Brandon Hicks hit a tworun shot off Clayton Kershaw, and Buster Posey had an RBI single for the NL West leaders, who beat the defending division champions for the seventh time in 10 meetings this season. Romo (3-0) came on in the ninth to try and protect a 4-2 lead for Tim Hudson. The right-hander struck out Yasiel Puig after a one-out double by Dee Gordon, but Ramirez lined his fifth homer to left field. The blown save was Romo’s first this season in 13 chances. Braves 5, Cubs 2: Evan Gattis hit a tiebreaking homer, Jason Heyward added a two-run shot and Atlanta beat Chicago to complete a three-game sweep. Aaron Harang (4-3) gave up two runs in six innings with nine strikeouts. Mets 5, Phillies 4, 11 innings: Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets suddenly rallied for three runs in the
ninth inning against Philadelphia’s improvised bullpen, then ended a fivegame skid on Ruben Tejada’s single in the 11th. Down 4-1, the punchless Mets fought back in the ninth, sparked by Murphy’s two-run homer off Antonio Bastardo. Chris Young ended his 0-for-18 slump with a double, and Juan Lagares drove in the tying run with a slow grounder against Roberto Hernandez — who started Friday night and threw 99 pitches. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said closer Jonathan Papelbon was sore and unavailable to pitch in a third straight game. New York’s comeback denied Cole Hamels his elusive first win of the season and the 100th of his career. He struck out 10 in seven innings while throwing a whopping 133 pitches, the most of any major leaguer this year. Padres 5, Marlins 4: Will Venable hit a leadoff homer and San Diego beat Miami for its first threegame winning streak of the season. Cardinals 6, Pirates 5: Shelby Miller (5-2) won his
fourth straight start and Trevor Rosenthal induced a bases-loaded double play to end the game as the Cardinals held off the Pirates.
INTERLEAGUE Brewers 6, Yankees 5: Mark Reynolds hit a gameending single with two outs in the ninth inning, and overcame Milwaukee Francisco Rodriguez’s first blown save of the season to beat New York. Rickie Weeks doubled just inside first base with one out before going to third on a wild pitch by reliever Adam Warren (1-2). Reynolds, who spent part of last season with the Yankees, held his right index finger in the air after his hard chopper bounced past diving third baseman Yangervis Solarte. New York was one strike from defeat in the top of the ninth when Mark Teixeira homered off Rodriguez (1-0). It was the first run allowed all season by the veteran closer. Before the game, the Yankees put struggling lefthander CC Sabathia on the disabled list with a right knee injury.
Red Sox win to move back above .500 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Texas — A.J. Pierzynski and Mike Napoli had runproducing hits in the first inning against their former team and the Boston Red Sox got above .500 for the first time since three games into the season with a seriesAL clinching 5-2 victory at Texas on Sunday. Recap Napoli put the Red Sox ahead to stay with an RBI double, two batters before Pierzynski’s two-run single. Both went to Boston as free agents after being in Texas — Pierzynski was the Rangers primary catcher last season, and Napoli was there the previous two years. John Lackey (5-2) struck out nine while allowing two runs over seven innings.
Royals 9, Mariners 7: Alcides Escobar hit a grand slam and Johnny Giavotella added a three-run shot to give the Royals a comeback victory over the Mariners. The Mariners rallied from an early 40 deficit behind two homers from Dustin Ackley and another from Kyle Seager before Kansas City took the lead in the seventh, scoring four runs. The Mariners committed a season-high four errors. Indians 6, Rays 5: Josh Tomlin won his second straight start, Nyjer Morgan and Michael Bourn both drove in two runs and the Indians beat the Rays. Tomlin (2-0), who pitched just once in the big leagues last season after right elbow surgery in 2012, allowed two runs and six hits over six innings in his second outing this year. Astros 5, Orioles 2: Jason Castro and Marc Krauss homered to account for all of Houston’s runs, and the Astros beat
the Orioles to avoid a three-game sweep.

Diamondbacks 5, White Sox 1: Chase Anderson won his major league debut, Gerardo Parra and Miguel Montero homered, and the Diamondbacks beat the White Sox.
Kelly drafts another former Oregon player THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Familiarity and defense were a theme for the Philadelphia Eagles in the draft. Chip Kelly loaded up on players he recruited and coached against while bolstering a defense that ranked 29th in the NFL last year. He also added a pair of wide receivers for his high-flying offense that set several franchise records. The Eagles concluded Day 3 of the draft by selecting two defensive backs and two defensive linemen. They also traded running back Bryce Brown to Buffalo for a future pick. The defending NFC East champions kicked off Saturday by taking Florida defensive back Jaylen Watkins with the first overall pick in the fourth round (No. 101). Oregon defensive line-
man Taylor Hart was their next choice in the fifth round. Hart is the second player reuniting with his former coach, joining wide receiver Josh Huff, who was Philadelphia’s third-round choice Friday night. Two other Ducks — De’Anthony Thomas and Terrance Mitchell — also were drafted Saturday Kelly was 46-7 in four years at Oregon before replacing Andy Reid in Philadelphia and leading the Eagles to an NFC East title in his first season last year. “We’re taking the best players and that’s how we’ve always looked at it. They’ve won a lot of games the last couple years,” Kelly said about drafting former Ducks. The 6-foot-6, 280pound Hart had 16 sacks while playing end and tackle in four years in college. He projects as an end in
Philadelphia’s 3-4 scheme. Hart said Kelly told him: “We’re putting the family back together.” After taking Watkins and Hart, Kelly joked the team was alternating picking players from Oregon and Florida because general manager Howie Roseman is a Florida alum. Kelly stuck with players he knows by taking Stanford safety Ed Reynolds with the team’s second pick in the fifth round (No. 162). Reynolds played against Oregon in the Pac-12. Thomas, a dynamic playmaker, was drafted by Kansas City in the fourth round. The Chiefs may have found in Thomas a replacement for return specialist Dexter McCluster, who signed with the Titans in free agency. Thomas set school records for punt and kick return yardage at Oregon,
and while he was showcased more as a running back last season, he also has good hands. “I feel like I’m an entertainer on the field,” said Thomas, who departed Oregon after a junior season cut short by injuries. “I have a passion for this game.” Mitchell was one of five defesive selections by the Dallas Cowboys in the final round of the draft. The cornerback was the 254th of 256 players selected overall. Oregon State players who signed as free agents after not being drafted included cornerback Rashaad Reynolds with Jacksonville, receiver Micah Hatfield with San Diego and offensive linemen Josh Andrews with Philadelphia and Michael Phillipp with Cleveland. Oregon’s Wade Keliikipi signed with Philadelphia.
PRO FOOTBALL Rams grab Sam in seventh round of draft NEW YORK — Michael Sam was picked by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round of the NFL draft Saturday, becoming the first openly gay player drafted by a pro football team. Sam played at Missouri, and came out as gay in media interviews earlier this year. His team and coaches knew his secret and kept it for his final college season. He went on to have the best year of his career: He was the Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year. He was taken with the 249th overall pick out of 256. He’ll start his professional career not far from the place where he played his college ball. President Barack Obama sent his congratulations to Sam, calling his being drafted “an important step forward.”
Dolphins safety is fined for Tweet about Sam MIAMI — Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones was fined an undisclosed amount Sunday and will undergo educational training after sending a negative tweet about Sam. Shortly after St. Louis
took Sam in the seventh round Saturday, Jones tweeted “OMG” and “Horrible.” The tweets were taken down a short time later. Jones apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments.
PRO BASKETBALL Sterling apologizes for racist comments LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling apologized Sunday for racist comments captured on tape. “I’m not a racist,” Sterling told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in excerpts posted from an interview taped Sunday and set to air Monday. “I made a terrible mistake. I’m here to apologize.” In his first public comments since being banned for life from the NBA, Sterling said years of good behavior as an owner should count toward his future.
NBA says team could not go to Sterling’s wife NEW YORK — The NBA said if Sterling’s ownership of the Clippers is terminated, so is Shelly Sterling’s. Hours after Shelly Sterling told ABC News’ Barbara Walters that she would fight to keep her ownership of the franchise even if her estranged husband can’t, the league said that wouldn’t be possible. “Under the NBA constitution, if a controlling owner’s interest is terminated by a three-quarter vote, all other team owners’ interests are automatically terminated as well,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement. “It doesn’t matter whether the owners are related as is the case here. These are the rules to which all NBA owners agreed to as a condition of owning their team.” Shelly Sterling’s attorney, Pierce O’Donnell, responded to the NBA’s statement, saying, “We do not agree with the league’s self-serving interpretation of its constitution, its application to Shelly Sterling or its validity under these unique circumstances.” Miami’s LeBron James said Sunday that players believe nobody in Sterling’s family should be able to own the Los Angeles Clippers if he’s gone. “As players, we want what’s right and we don’t feel like no one in his family should be able to own the team,” James said after the Miami Heat practiced for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Brooklyn.
TENNIS Nadal, Sharapova win titles at Madrid Open MADRID — Rafael Nadal won his fourth Madrid Open title on Sunday after Kei Nishikori was forced to withdraw with a back injury when trailing 2-6, 6-4, 3-0 in the final. Nadal became the first repeat winner in Madrid, and recovered from two recent quarterfinal losses on clay to win his second title on the surface and third overall this year. Earlier, Maria Sharapova bounced back from a poor start to defeat Simona Halep 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 to win the women’s title.
GOLF R&A will vote on whether to allow women PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Royal & Ancient Golf Club could make history even before it votes in September to have female members. R&A secretary Peter Dawson said the club is deciding whether to allow members to vote by proxy, something he said has never been done in club history. Dawson says there is a strong view in the club that voting by mail should be allowed. Dawson announced last month that the R&A would vote Sept. 18 whether to allow female members for the first time in its 260-year history.
