Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878

NB makes it official with SCCF

Speakers reach for the stars

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

NORTH BEND — The South Coast Community Foundation is halfway to having full participation from local governmental bodies.

The North Bend City Council unanimously readopted SCCF’s amended bylaws, reauthorized the city’s SCCF membership and reratified Bill Lansing, John Whitty and Joanne Verger to serve as the initial SCCF board of directors. The council had rubber-stamped all three at a meeting two months ago.

After Coos Bay City Council’s approval last week, this leaves two entities to consider their membership, the bylaws and the three initial directors: Coos County and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay. The port commissioners will meet May 22; county commissioners will meet June 3.

The bylaws have undergone 29 revisions since they were first distributed publicly earlier this spring. The final draft has been approved by the Community Enhancement Plan work group before it went to the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone sponsors, whose approval is required in order for SCCF and the CEP to move forward.

SCCF board president Bill Lansing said in an email that the board is currently working under the original bylaws, since all four enterprise zone sponsors (who would also be the four members of SCCF) have not yet approved the amended bylaws. If and when that happens, the SCCF board needs to ratify those amended bylaws, he said.

While North Bend City Councilor Mike Erbele agreed with Lansing that the SCCF board does not need to comply with bylaws that have not received full approval yet, he’s not sure the board is governed by any rules at the moment.

“Really, there are no bylaws right now, because they (the original or the amended bylaws) haven’t been approved by the four members,” Erbele said.

The North Bend councilors also appointed City Administrator Terence O’Connor as the city’s SCCF representative, who is supposed to vote on matters at the four members’ proposed annual meeting regarding SCCF. But there was some question as to whether the city should send only one person or the entire council to that meeting.

“If there are things to vote on, our designated individual is the vote,” said Councilor Timm Slater. “I know it was talked about that another city may have all its (councilors) in and get together to figure out how to vote.”

The councilors decided to discuss the matter further at an upcoming work session.

The Coos Bay City Council, Coos County and the port have not yet appointed their member representatives.

Bay Area speech, debate teams prep for national competition NORTH BEND — A stern stare and rigid back turns Lorien Deyo into the Queen of Hearts.

Doe-eyed and feet turned in, she becomes Alice.

Beside her, Grant Goodwin skitters around as the White Rabbit. A second later, he’s a growling, sneering Mad Hatter.

This duo interpretation of “Finding Wonderland,” by Jane Nicolaas, is taking Deyo, a North Bend High junior, and Goodwin, a sophomore, to the National Speech & Debate Tournament on June 15-20 in Overland Park, Kan. North Bend’s forensics team is sending two others to nationals: sophomore Hannah Schandelmeier-Lynch in extemporaneous speaking and senior Chelsea Samora in original oratory.

In “extemp” speaking, Schandelmeier-Lynch won’t know the topic of her persuasive speech until 30 minutes before she speaks.

Original oratory is a 10-minute memorized persuasive speech. Samora’s speech, “In a Barbie World,” is about redefining “heroes” in society.

North Bend High forensics coach Josh Scheirman’s team has had a good year.

All nine North Bend students who competed in the district competition qualified for the OSAA speech state championships in April. There, the team won its division (Class 4A/3A/2A/1A) for the second year in a row.

County hires timber lobbyist

BY EMILY THORNTON The World

COQUILLE — Coos County commissioners approved hiring a lobbyist Tuesday to represent the county’s interests in Washington, D.C. The lobbyist, FBB Federal Relations, potentially will help differentiate the O&C and Wagon Road lands in legislation, which could provide more income for Coos County.

Commissioner Melissa Cribbins presented three candidates at the work session: FBB Federal Relations, David J. Anderson & Associates and Jay R. Sullivan with Jamison and Sullivan.

FBB and Sullivan wanted $5,000 per month on a month-to-month basis.

Anderson wanted $7,500 per month with a six-month minimum.

After several minutes of discussion, commissioners chose FBB. They said they would hire them for two months

and review their work after one month.

“They seem to have good relations with the House and Senate,” Cribbins said. However, she also said they didn’t have a lot of experience with timber legislation.

“If time is of the essence, we need to move ahead,” Commissioner John Sweet said.

Sweet also voiced concern over Sullivan’s work lobbying for the O&C counties.

“There’s a potential conflict of interest,” Sweet said.

FBB is well-known among some in the region. The firm has clients throughout Oregon: all the ports, including the International Port of Coos Bay; the Coos Historical and Maritime Museum; the Oregon Business Development Department; and the Jordan Cove Energy Project. It’s also the same firm that suggested creation of Boost Southwest Oregon last

year.

Former Commissioner Fred Messerle made an appearance at the meeting.

“This is the first time I’ve been back,” Messerle said. “I think it’s very important.”

Messerle advised the commissioners to get legal analysis because “you’ve got nothing to bargain with,” he told them.

Sweet said he didn’t think getting legal analysis and a lobbyist were exclusive of each other.

Commissioners also tossed around the idea of seeking a lawsuit regarding the purpose of the O&C lands.

“Do we have any sort of legal recourse?” Cribbins asked fellow commissioners.

Commissioners are negotiating an agreement with FBB. Reporter Emily Thornton can be reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 249 or at emily.thornton@theworldlink.com or on Twitter: @EmilyK_Thornton.

Craddock said. “I thought the general consensus from the group was, ‘You know, we are where we are but we can’t afford not to do something.’”

Public Works Director Jim Hossley spent the first half of the meeting explaining “where they are.”

On the wastewater side of things, they have two aging plants, 23 pump stations, sewer pipes that have water leaking into them, and a

DEQ mandate to do something now or get fined and let them do something about the upgrades. The total price tag is an estimated $81 million over the next 20 years, $68 million of which is still currently unfunded.

On the streets side of things, they have an aging web of streets, with some in pretty bad shape.

Why fix them now? Well, the officials told the gathering, the streets will just get worse, the situation will hurt the local economy (not to

City Manager Rodger Craddock said afterward that, while no one wants to pay more money, there seemed to be a better understanding of the issues facing the city.

Battle over dispensaries lands in court The battle over medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon finally landed in the courts last week, as the city of Cave Junction asked a judge to decide whether the state law authorizing the dispensaries complies with the state and U.S. constitutions.

The lawsuit is one of the first legal salvos on the medical marijuana front. It seems a good bet that the case will go to the Oregon Supreme Court and possibly beyond. You also can expect that other aspects of the medical marijuana dispensary law will be challenged by any number of different plaintiffs.

The specific issue raised in the Cave Junction lawsuit revolves around the conflict between federal law, which prohibits the sale of marijuana,and the state law authorizing the sale of medical marijuana. Like many other cities, Cave Junction prohibits issuing a business license to anyone violating federal law.

The legislative action that allowed governments to temporarily ban the dispensaries was intended in part to buy some time for the courts to sort through the various legal issues that have been raised. But it’s not out of the question that someone could file a court challenge to the legality of the law allowing the one-year moratorium.

Or, for that matter, just about everything else regarding the state’s convoluted efforts to roll out a system of medical marijuana dispensaries. Given time, maybe our courts can begin

Albany Democrat-Herald

State makes the right call on health care website mess It’s time to move on for Oregon’s abortive attempt to organize its own exchange for health insurance, but it’s a long way from time to close the books.

The bills will keep rolling in and so will the criticism. Gov. John Kitzhaber is running for re-election, and the issue will be a major item.

And should be.

His opponent is likely to be State Rep. Dennis Richardson, R-Central Point, an early and vocal critic of Cover Oregon’s failure to fully enroll anyone through its website.

Oregon officially gave up that effort. State officials said Oregon, instead, will use the federal website to enroll Oregonians in need of health care and give up on the $137 million already spent on the project. That figure

includes $3 million spent promoting it.

Rather than spend the $78 million it would take to “fix” the state exchange, Oregon will spend “only” $4 million to $6 million to join the federal exchange. Not much choice there.

It’s important to know, too, how so many costly bad decisions were made. Even though the buck stops in the governor’s office, it appeared at times Kitzhaber didn’t know how badly things were going, even when others inside and outside his administration did know. Undoubtedly, it will all be part of the campaign, especially Cover Oregon.

A political campaign isn’t always the best way to establish facts, but the Cover Oregon mess needs a thorough examination.

Klamath Falls Herald and News

Oregonians among the least eager to move According to a Gallup survey, people in Oregon are relatively happy where they are.

The polling organization asked people whether they’d move to another state if given

the chance, and only 24 percent of Oregonians said yes.

In Connecticut (49 percent) and Illinois (50 percent), just about half the people wish they could live somewhere else.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 45.5 percent of people living in Oregon in 2010 were born in the state, a lower percentage than all but eight other states and the District of Columbia. All but one of the 10 states where people are most eager to leave have higher percentages of native-born residents — 67.1 percent in Illinois, for example.

The correlation between mobility and contentment is no surprise. People’s most common reasons for moving are related to jobs or businesses. A state with a low percentage of native-born residents can be presumed to have a lot of people who believe they have improved their lives by moving. Others — retirees, for instance — arrive by choice.

A state with a high percentage of people who aren’t interested in leaving has an asset.

These are people who will work to protect the qualities they appreciate. That means they’re more likely to be engaged in public affairs,protective of the environment and concerned about their state’s future. Oregon is fortunate in having relatively few people who wish they were somewhere else.

The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Life in the fast-texting lane I just saw a report that said eight out of 10 car crashes or near-crashes are caused by distracted drivers. Thank goodness I was watching TV while I was driving, or I might have missed that.

It’s one of those stories that can change your life. So I called Sue to tell her, but the cellphone reception was bad out on the interstate, so I told her I’d get back to her when I was on one of the service roads.

I wonder, though, do we really need a study to know that distracted drivers cause accidents? Or is it like one of those milliondollar studies that takes years of research to shock us with the news that mother’s milk is OK for babies to drink? Do we need a study to tell us people do insane things behind the wheel? All you have to do is pull out of your driveway to realize that the inmates have taken over the asylum.

Hang on, I’ve got to stop typing and pay attention to the guy in front of me. He’s driving erratically; he’s all over the road. I think he may be drunk. Well, at least he’s not distracted.Never mind — I just flew past him and I think he’s sober, and he wasn’t on the phone or He was just texting.

JIM updating his Facebook MULLEN status. Seems he’s less disHumorist tracted now that someone took a baseball bat to his left headlight.

I know a lot of people work out of their cars now. The front passenger seat is their entire office. It’s got the computer, the filing cabinet, water cooler — everything you need to run a business, right there within easy reach. The back seat is the conference room.

I suppose the most common business to run out of a car is car insurance claims adjuster.

Oh, look at that! The woman in the next lane is putting on her makeup while she’s driving. That is so wrong! What is she thinking? Those aren’t her colors at all! Doesn’t she know bright red is sooo over? She should be using pastels and soft, soft translucent colors. They should take away her license.

Not her driver’s license, her beautician’s license. Doesn’t she read Vogue while she’s driving?

Hang on,what’s this? The traffic’s slowing down to a crawl. Probably an accident. But I see there’s nothing on the local TV station about it yet. Let me click through the channels. Nope, nothing. Why are we drivers always the last to know? If only I could get basic cable in the car.

Wait,this looks serious.There are two cars over in the disabled lane. An accident? Road rage? A fender-bender? Has anyone been hurt? Will an ambulance be showing up soon? No, it looks like ... I don’t believe this!

They’ve pulled off the road to eat lunch!

They are sitting behind the wheel, eating in parked cars. No wonder there’s rubbernecking. Now I’ve absolutely seen everything! They can’t eat French fries and drive at the same time? How did they ever get a driver’s license? Isn’t that part of the test, being able to eat and drive at the same time?

If it isn’t part of the test,it should be.It would keep nutcases like that off the road — they’re distracting me.

I’ve eaten peel ‘n’ eat shrimp while driving and playing a video game at the same time, and these people can’t choke down a hamburger without have to park their cars? They could cause an accident.

Uh-oh. A cop. Now that’s a distraction — all those lights and sirens pulling up behind me, and the loudspeaker telling me to pull over. Twice in one day. That’s four times this week. It’s making me a nervous wreck.

When are they going to do a study about that?

Letters to the Editor Who can say what LNG will bring?

I have read the various articles, op-eds, editorials and letters addressing international corporation’s use of Coos Bay to export natural gas. Just like the shipping of raw wood materials to Asia, Coos Bay has become a “third world” port, since nothing goes out in manufactured form, but as raw material for a productive economy elsewhere.

The current proposal is for a 36-inch pipeline.

Pipelines exploding/leaking around the country (e.g.; California Bay Area and nearby Washington), are mostly 12– 24inch lines. Comparisons can be invidious, but a line traversing back country (wildfires) and under a bay pose threats.

I forwarded a video report of the natural gas storage tank in downtown exploding Pittsburgh, Pa., to Sen. Roblan.

The tank, intact, was blown into the sky like a rocket. I mentioned the mid-1970s propane tank car erupting like a mushroom fire near Newman, Ill. The news video was used to train first responders for many years. I suggested to him that there are pitfalls surrounding LNG activity. The senator’s response was that I lacked information.

A recent NPR segment reported the Port’s executive director’s comments, including that he had read a lot about LNG and was satisfied the project was safe.

About the foundation and the need for bylaws that pass public muster re: Desired secrecy wanted for the Community Enhancement Plan (clever rhetorical choice of words).

Steve Kreidlebaugh’s op-ed asserting beneficial results expected from the project.

In the past, he asserted computer instruction was a fading fad.

Today, Arizona State University has “over 60 totally online degree programs.” Predicting can be difficult.

Commissioner Cribbins shouting “Enough” to limit public discussions to a narrow agenda is

a controlled dialogue through limited topics. Such orchestration by decision makers allows selffulfilling prophecies to be achieved.

The promise of school aid is enticing. Let’s hope chapter 11 bankruptcy isn’t the final outcome, if things sour. According to Nobel laureate Steven Chu, within a decade, wind will be the cheapest energy. So, if Chu’s correct, LNG may have a short shelf life.

Some locally express specific facts. Ron Sadler keeps stating fact-based notions; the lady catalyst for the opposition; and, Dr. Morgan, M.D., offers evidence of forms of allergic maladies associated with LNG. Time will tell if it’s better to be a “naysayer” than a “soothsayer.”

Chris Flammang Coos Bay

LNG impacts will be profound I was impressed with the Thursday, May 8, editorial and article. A while back, I wrote to The World about the social and economic impacts of the proposed LNG facility “will be like nothing this region has seen before.”

The anticipated economic “avalanche,” which has so many folks counting chickens when no eggs have been seen, has everyone scrambling for ways to spend all that dough. Two thousand one hundred workers with families in “Eugene, Salem, Portland or Vancouver.” I bet some people thought that some of those $96,000 a year workers would be from North Bend and Coos Bay. You speculate about “entertainment.” I won’t cite any, but there are a few new businesses which might be in demand on a Saturday night, I don’t need to guess. I don’t have knowledge of the effect of the oil pipeline on Anchorage, Fairbanks and Valdez but I’ve heard stories about Dodge City.

As for traffic, I have a photograph taken within a few feet of the south end of the McCullough Bridge. The location for the pro-

posed traffic signal at Ferry Lane is in the background. In the foreground, 100-200 feet above the proposed residence area for the workers, is a tsunami sign.

Some folks are planning to sell their homes, maybe at an inflated price, to the newcomers and buy their “cows” elsewhere. The beans are in the right hand.

Beware of the left hand.

I have another story which I read a few years ago.It was written about another “Jack.” I found it at one of the first LNG forums, and it was written by the U.S. Coast Guard. It’s pretty long and has a lot of detail but it’s all online to read. The short book is called “ P r o c e e d i n g s ,” http://www.uscg.mil/proceedings/archive/2005/.

One last thing. I heard a saving grace about our Canadian neighbors. They are to dedicate one or two dorms to our local homeless and homeless vets. I don’t know how true that is.

History not dull, some teachers are On Saturday, May 2 (in Cheers & Jeers), someone awarded a thumbs up to a SWOCC teacher who utilized a unique presentation to impress his students about an event re: World War II. It was noted that this was an excellent example of a teacher making history more than boring. I beg to differ, in that history is not boring but many teachers of it are.

SWOCC has scored big time in the employ of this particular instructor. Would that, he could be cloned and offered to other institutions of higher education.

Empty Bowl was great event On Saturday, my family attended the Empty Bowl fundraiser, at the SWOCC OCCI, that was organized and presented by the Bay Area Potters.

My understanding is that the

BAP made and donated something like 600 bowls, with a goal of selling at least half of them, full of soup, then donating the proceeds to feed people in need. I don’t know the final tally, but hopefully their success also includes a groundswell of understanding and help for those who don’t have enough food to feed themselves and their families.

We had a fun time each selecting the bowl of our choice, then choosing between two soups, a bisque or chowder. These were made and served by culinary staff along with bread they’d baked. It was a good feeling breaking bread with friends and strangers for a good cause. The selecting of our bowls led to many spontaneous comments, comparisons and frequent laughter when someone would set down a bowl they’d been considering only to have it then quickly snapped up by another.

The silent auction offered numerous lots of large bowls and sets of pottery that drew friendly (yet strategic) bidding. Che’s Lounge set an excellent musical accompaniment.

But the true reason for the event was not lost. As we queued up to pay for the silent auction items or additional bowls, the two tables had been continually stocked with empty bowls. They serve as a lasting memory for us all to count and share our many blessings. No one should go hungry when there is more than enough to go around. I don’t think I’ll ever look at an empty bowl quite the same again. Thank you Bay Area Potters.

State A dear Abby dinner party blends good food and fun DEAR ABBY: I love cooking for my wife and friends.

There are few things I find more pleasing than to put out a nice spread of food and watch people enjoy. I’m always on the lookout for more cookbooks, and you hold the key to my next big party.

I was reading through DEAR y o u r archives and have seen many people asking about your cookbooklets. I’d love to get them. Can you print JEANNE PHILLIPS the orderi n g information again, so I can be sure I’m sending the right amount to the right place? Thanks! — MAN IN THE KITCHEN IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK DEAR MAN IN THE KITCHEN: I’m glad to oblige. I have been a compulsive cookbook collector for many years, so I can relate.

(I’m sure you will be pleased when you see that my cookbooklets, while wide-ranging in content, take up little space on your bookshelf.)

Your idea of throwing a “Dear Abby Dinner Party” is a good one, and I have been told the recipes provide a fun, traditional eating adventure.

All of them are simple, easyto-read and delicious.

One reader described creating place cards for her guests decorated with hearts and flowers. The centerpiece of “bouquet” a was envelopes addressed to me.

Another reader said she copied questions from my column, printed them out and, as a party game, asked her guests to supply the answers. (She said that after a few glasses of wine, some of the responses were hilarious, but couldn’t be printed in a family newspaper.)

My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes, ranging from soups to salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts, that can be used when families get together to celebrate holidays and other special occasions.

My mother used many of them when she hosted parties, as have I. To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby - Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. You will find tips on entertaining at the beginning of the first booklet. Anyone who hasn’t entertained before should be sure to read them.

By following these suggestions, even the most nervous, first-time host can be confident. I know you will enjoy the recipes as much as we have and serve them with pride.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It’s not what you put on the table, but who you put in the chairs that makes a successful dinner party.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Oregon gay marriage case back in federal court

Clouds lift briefly Oct. 2, and allow the sun to highlight Mount Hood wearing a fresh coat of snow near Government Camp. The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says a climber appeared to be alone when he fell on the mountain early Tuesday. Rescuers believe they’ve located the climber on Mount Hood who was seen falling about 1,000 feet by other climbers on Oregon’s tallest peak.

Climber who fell 1,000 feet to death is named PORTLAND (AP) — A climber from New Jersey died Tuesday after falling about 1,000 feet from the top of Oregon’s tallest peak, officials said.

Robert Cormier, 57, of Jersey City, ascended Mount Hood’s south side with two others but continued alone when one of his companions suffered a leg cramp, Hood River County sheriff’s spokesman Pete Hughes said.

Cormier appeared to reach the summit before he fell near Eliot Glacier at the volcanic peak 50 miles east of Portland.

A helicopter photographed the climber and his position but saw “no

signs of life,” Hughes said. The office later confirmed his death.

Hughes says rescuers will wait until next week to recover Cormier, when colder temperatures would afford them more stability on the rocks and ice.

Spring is the prime season for climbing Mount Hood because the weather is better but not so warm that the ice melts and rocks fall more readily. The peak is notorious for loose rocks in warm weather.

Conditions were warm in the area on Monday and Tuesday, with a reported temperature of 47 degrees Tuesday morning on the summit.

“Climbers up there reported the snow was getting warm, and they wanted to get down and get off,” Hughes said.

Thousands of people climb the 11,240-foot peak each year.

The most recent death at Mount Hood was in August. A Polish military officer visiting the United States for training with a drone manufacturer went to the summit on a day off. The novice climber fell about 1,000 feet.

The most fatalities in one accident were seven students from Oregon Episcopal School and two adults who died after they dug a snow cave during a sudden storm in May 1986.

CPR keeps Astoria husband ‘Stayin’ Alive’ ASTORIA (AP) — Elizabeth Schimpf received CPR training a number of times over the years for her profession.

An X-ray technician at Columbia Memorial Hospital in the orthopedics clinic, Schimpf says the training was always a good thing to have.

But she didn’t know how truly valuable it was until March 7 — the day she saved her husband’s life.

Schimpf and her husband, Greg, moved to Astoria more than two years ago.

They have been married for 17 years, together for 26.

Greg Schimpf liked to drive his wife to work. But on that day, which started out like any other, their lives suddenly came to a halt.

“It was just a normal Friday morning,” she said.

“But we go to leave for work, and he gets in the car, and he puts the key in the ignition, and then he just made a couple of horrible gasps and just slumped over sideways.

“I pushed him on the shoulder, and I said, ‘Knock it off, you’re scaring me,’ but his face was devoid of color

and he was gone. It was creepy.”

Once the reality of what was happening hit Schimpf, she immediately went into “autopilot,” running over to the driver’s side door and pulling her beloved husband down on the ground.

She started performing hands-only CPR, the newest way CPR is taught, which no longer requires the breaths be administered, but instead quick compressions to the tune of “Stayin’ Alive.”

“It was out of the blue.

He’s a healthy guy. He had an echocardiogram six months before,” she said. “I had my cellphone in my pocket, so when I ran around the car, I called 911, and I put it on speakerphone and threw the phone down. Then I just started compressions. Those were the last thing I learned a year and a half ago.

“It’s called hands only.

And it worked.”

It was seven minutes before the Astoria Fire Department arrived. In the meantime, Schimpf continued compressions until her neighbor ran over and took over, performing them for

Elizabeth Schimpf and her husband Greg, pictured May 8, are rejoicing in the CPR method “hands only”that saved Greg’s life March 7. Schimpf, of Astoria, works as an X-ray technician at Columbia Memorial Hospital where she received the CPR training that helped her to perform the lifesaving technique on her husband. the last couple of minutes.

The fire department shocked Greg Schimpf with defibrillator paddles and whisked him away to Columbia Memorial Hospital. He was then lifeflighted to Oregon Health & Science University.

“It was really hard work,” she said. “And it felt like a really long time. The dispatcher was very helpful, too.

She said go down two inches and come back up and keep it going. It felt like hours.

Oregon shows faster job growth than the nation PORTLAND (AP) — After a battering in the Great Recession and a slow recovery, Oregon’s job market is showing springtime vigor.

The state Employment Department said Tuesday Oregon added about 15,000 jobs in March and April, the largest two-month increase since 2005.

The department says that, compared to national trends, Oregon lost a larger share of jobs during the recession and was slower at first to regain them.

The department says Oregon is now adding jobs at a faster annual rate than the nation as a whole, 2.6 percent versus 1.7 percent.

Despite that, Oregon’s

unemployment rate remains at 6.9 percent, because baby boomers are retiring and shrinking the workforce.

The percentage of Oregonians employed or looking for work is at its lowest level since comparable statistics began to be compiled, in 1976.

Greg Schimpf, 63, suffered sudden cardiac arrest, often called sudden cardiac death, and 95 percent of victims die before reaching the hospital. The heart goes from a normal heart beat to a quivering rhythm called ventricular fibrillation.

EUGENE (AP) — A federal judge will hear arguments Wednesday about whether a national group can defend Oregon’s ban on same-sex marriage because the state’s attorney general has refused to do so.

The National Organization for Marriage says it should be allowed to intervene on behalf of its members in Oregon, whom it has declined to identify citing fears they’ll be harassed. The group says they include a county clerk responsible for issuing wedding licenses, the owner of a wedding business and a voter who cast a ballot in favor of the 2004 ballot measure that added a same-sex marriage ban to the state constitution.

The move is opposed by lawyers for four gay and lesbian couples who brought the case and lawyers for the state. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, a Democrat, says the ban is legally indefensible and has urged the judge to throw it out, creating a rare case where both plaintiffs and defendants are seeking the same outcome.

“It is the attorney general’s incredible abandonment of her duty to defend the state’s interest ... that has necessitated NOM’s intervention in this matter,” attorneys for the National Organization for Marriage wrote in a brief filed last week in support of its request.

The gay couples and the state argue that NOM failed to file its motion on time, lacks appropriate authority and is simply trying to delay the proceedings.

The NOM members seeking to intervene have no personal stake, lawyers for the couples wrote in a brief.

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that proponents of California’s same-sex marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, did not have legal authority to appeal a lower court ruling that overturned the initiative. But that case reviewed the ability of private groups to appeal, which is based on different rules from those governing motions to intervene at the trial-court level.

District Judge U.S. Michael McShane heard arguments last week from lawyers for the gay couples and the state. If he rejects NOM’s request, he could rule at any time on the constitutionality of the same-sex marriage ban. If he allows NOM to defend it, McShane has said he’ll allow new written and oral arguments.

8-year-old calls, police find mother dead ALBANY (AP) — Albany police say a 36-year-old Albany woman has been shot to death in her apartment and they’re appealing to the public for information about her.

Police said they got a call about 2 a.m. Tuesday from

the woman’s 8-year-old child saying that she was bleeding. The DemocratHerald reports that when officers arrived, they found Angela Esther Stephenson dead of a gunshot wound.

Capt. Eric Carter says the child was awakened by a noise and called police.

Carter says there’s no indication of suicide, and officers are hoping acquaintances and neighbors can help them determine whether she was killed by a stranger or someone she knew.

Better than starbucks, cheaper too DIY FANCY COFFEE. I make my own great frozen coffee drinks, better than the ones that cost so much money. It all starts with frozen coffee cubes, which I make from the EVERYDAY flavored CHEAPSKATE coffee of m y choice a n d freeze in ice cube trays.

T h a t ’s t h e secret.

M o s t Mary re c i p e s Hunt call for adding things to cold coffee and then blending with ice. But the ice can water it down. By starting with frozen coffee, there’s no need for ice to make the drink frozen. My favorite recipe is frozen coffee cubes, hazelnut or caramel syrup, chocolate milk or powder, light cream or milk and a little sugar (I like mine sweet).

Blend until smooth.

Yummy! I just keep a ziptype bag full of coffee cubes in my freezer. — Lori FOIL THE FOOLS. Since it’s not recommended to put your home address in your GPS in case your car is stolen, I’ve set my “home” address as my local police station. I figure if a thief is dumb enough to think they can steal a car, they’ll be dumb enough to pull into the police station. If my car is ever stolen I’ll tell the police to keep an eye on their parking lot. While I don’t know if it would actually work, if it did I’d have the story of stories!

And, by the way, I do know the way home from the police station. — Tim KITTY LITTER TRAC TION. When I have to walk across surfaces that are icy or slick, I carry a zip-type bag of kitty litter with me to sprinkle ahead of me as I walk. I keep a spare bag in the car, too. It costs less than two dollars for a fivepound bag, which is pretty cheap when I consider it might save me a trip to the hospital. — Kay CAR KEEPERS. My children like to have blankets in the car during the ride to school in the morning.

Keeping these clean on the ride home in the afternoon is hard, since the kids are eating their snacks, are sweaty from practice and so on. I bought cushion covers at Target. I quickly fold up their blankets after I drop them off in the morning and stuff them into the cushion covers. I wash the cushion covers and blankets every week instead of washing the blankets every day. They also serve as pillows when the kids are tired and need a little nap. — Juni SINGLE SERVING PIZZA. I’m a single girl and live alone, so I’m always looking for ways to save money. I love to cook, but sometimes I opt for a frozen pizza.

Instead of cooking one and then having leftovers, I open the pizza box as soon as I get home from the grocery store, cut it into quarters, wrap each slice individually in foil and put them back in the box and into the freezer.

On those days when I’m too tired to cook, all I have to do is pull out a slice and pop it in the oven.

This way, I only eat about one frozen pizza a month, it never goes to waste and I never eat more than one slice at a time. — Sheri Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

238 dead in Turkey coal mine explosion SOMA, Turkey (AP) — Women wailed uncontrollably, men knelt sobbing and others just stared in disbelief outside a coal mine in western Turkey as rescue workers removed a steady stream of bodies Wednesday from an underground explosion and fire that killed at least 238 workers. The fate of an estimated 120 miners remained unclear in one of Turkey’s worst mining disasters.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan postponed a foreign trip and visited the mine in Soma, about 155 miles south of Istanbul. The deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, officials said.

Erdogan said the tragedy would be investigated to its “smallest detail” and “no negligence will be ignored.”

He discussed rescue operations with authorities, walked near the entrance of the mine and also comforted two crying women. Earlier, Erdogan declared three days of national mourning, ordering flags to be lowered to half-staff.

Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine in Soma at the time of Tuesday’s explosion and 363 of them had been rescued. Scores were injured, Yildiz told reporters in Soma, where he was overseeing operations by more than 400 rescuers.

The last worker rescued alive emerged from the mine around dawn, a government

The Associated Press

Rescue workers carry a rescued miner from the mine in Soma, western Turkey, early Wednesday. Rescuers desperately raced against time to reach more than 200 miners trapped underground after an explosion and fire at a coal mine in western Turkey, authorities said, in one of the worst mining disasters in Turkish history. official said on condition of anonymity because she didn’t have prior authorization to speak publicly to journalists about the issue. As of 3:30 p.m., it had been about 10 hours since anyone had been brought out alive.

“Regarding the rescue operation, I can say that our hopes are diminishing,” Yildiz said before Erdogan’s visit.

Erdogan said there were an estimated 120 workers still inside the mine.

“Our hope is that, God willing, they will be brought out,” he said. “That is what we are waiting for.”

Tensions were high as hundreds of relatives and miners stood outside the mine. The crowd shouted at officials, including when Yildiz passed by, and some wailed each time a body was brought up. A heavy police presence was in place around the mine.

The explosion tore through the mine as workers

were preparing for a shift change, officials said, which likely raised the casualty toll because there were more miners inside than usual.

Mining accidents are common in Turkey, which is plagued by poor safety conditions. Turkey’s worst mining disaster was a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near the Black Sea port of Zonguldak.

In Istanbul, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of the

California firefighters gain ground on wildfires SAN DIEGO (AP) — Weather conditions that at least temporarily calmed allowed firefighters to gain ground early Wednesday on a pair of wildfires that forced thousands of residents to leave their homes.

company which owns the mine, Soma Holding. In the capital, Ankara, police dispersed a group who tried to march to the energy ministry to protest the deaths, the Dogan news agency reported.

Erdogan warned that some radical groups would try to use the disaster to discredit the government.

Turkey’s Labor and Social Security Ministry said the mine had been inspected five times since 2012, including in March of 2014, and that no

issues violating work safety and security were detected.

The country’s main opposition party said Erdogan’s ruling party had recently voted down a proposal for the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry into a series of small-scale accidents at mines around Soma.

Rescue workers emerged at a slow pace from the mine with stretchers carrying bodies, which were covered in blankets. The corpses’ faces were blackened like the coal.

One man, who declined to be named, said he had led a 10-man team about a halfmile, or halfway, down the mine into the tunnels and had recovered three bodies.

But the men had to flee because of smoke from coal that had been lit by the explosion, he said. Another man walked down the stairs from the mine’s entrance weeping, with a look of dejection. Behind him, two groups bearing heavy stretchers pushed through the crowd like caterpillars.

As bodies were brought out on stretchers, rescue workers pulled blankets back from the faces of the dead to give jostling crowds of anxious family members a chance to identify victims.

One elderly man wearing a prayer cap wailed after he recognized one of the dead, and police restrained him from climbing into an ambulance with the body.

Tea party claims modest win in Senate race WASHINGTON (AP) — The victory notched by tea party Republicans in the Nebraska Senate race was modest, but they’ll take it in a season that has yielded few bright spots so far.

Ben Sasse won the GOP nomination for the seat being vacated by Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb. Sasse was the closest thing to a tea party candidate in the three-man race, largely because he feuded last fall with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the epitome of establishment Republicanism.

Pentagon OKs moving Manning WASHINGTON (AP) — In an unprecedented move, the Pentagon is trying to transfer convicted national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison so she can get treatment for her gender disorder, defense officials said. Manning, formerly named Bradley, was convicted of sending classified documents to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. The soldier has asked for hormone therapy and to be able to live as a woman.

Ukraine to discuss OSCE peace plan KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A reluctant Ukrainian government agreed to launch discussions Wednesday on giving more powers to the regions under a peace plan brokered by the

NEWS D I G E S T Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, but it remains wary of engaging with pro-Russian insurgents who have declared independence in two eastern regions.

Ukraine’s prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, was to chair the first in a series of round tables set to include national lawmakers, government figures and regional officials in line with proposals drafted by the OSCE, a top trans-Atlantic security and rights group that includes Russia and the United States.

Factories burned in anti-China protest HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Mobs burned and looted scores of foreign-owned factories in Vietnam following a large protest by workers against China’s recent placement of an oil rig in disputed Southeast Asian waters, officials said Wednesday.

The unrest at industrial parks near Ho Chi Minh City is the most serious outbreak of public disorder in the tightly controlled country in years. It points to the dangers for the government as it tries to manage public anger at China while also itself protesting the Chinese actions in an area of the South China Sea it says belongs to Vietnam.

Report highlights child labor on US tobacco farms RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — You may have to be at least 18 to buy cigarettes in the U.S., but children as young as 7 are working long hours in fields harvesting nicotine- and pesticide-laced tobacco leaves under sometimes hazardous and sweltering conditions, according to a report released Wednesday by an international rights group.

“Farming is hard work anyway, but children working on tobacco farms get so sick that they throw up, get covered by pesticides and have no real protective gear.”

Children interviewed by the group in 2012 and 2013 reported vomiting, nausea and headaches while working on tobacco farms. The symptoms they reported are consistent with nicotine poisoning often called Green Tobacco Sickness, which occurs when workers absorb nicotine through their skin while handling tobacco plants.

The children also said they worked long hours — often in extreme heat — without overtime pay or sufficient breaks and wore no, or inadequate, protective gear.

On to nationals

By Alysha Beck, The World

North Bend High School sophomore Grant Goodwin, left, and junior Lorien Deyo rehearse their duo interpretation “Finding Wonderland” by Jane Nicolaas on Monday in preparation for the National Speech & Debate Tournament in June.

NATIONALS Bay Area is very competitive Continued from Page A1 Goodwin and Samora are going to nationals for the second year in a row — a milestone North Bend hasn’t met in at least 10 years, Scheirman said.

Since students can only go to nationals in one event, three of the four had to choose. Deyo and Samora also qualified for nationals in mock congress and Goodwin also qualified in humorous interpretation.

Deyo and Goodwin didn’t want to separate; they’ll perform their “duo interp” at nationals.

During duo interp, the actors can’t make eye contact, touch each other or use props. They speak to the audience as if their counterpart were right in front of

them.

They can’t touch, but that doesn’t mean they have to stand still. Throughout the act, Deyo ducks behind Goodwin, peers around him, and the pair run in circles around each other.

Without hesitation, they switch character: Deyo from Alice to the Queen of Hearts to Mrs. Liddell, Goodwin from Mr. Carroll to the Mad Hatter to the White Rabbit.

The two have practiced the piece since the beginning of the school year — “countless hours,” Goodwin said.

These students have lofty goals, though considering their talent and passion, their dreams don’t seem out of reach.

Deyo wants to be a U.S. senator someday, “which I realize is a little ambitious,” she said. But she has it all planned out, from becoming an essential member of political campaigns to studying law.

If she doesn’t end up in

politics, “I can always be an out-of-work lawyer,” she joked.

At 8 years old, Goodwin’s grandma gave him $20 to stop talking for an hour. He doesn’t know exactly what he wants to do when he graduates in two years.

“But whatever I do, it’s going to involve speaking,” he said.

This year, he was named the top speaker in a tournament at Pacific University, landing himself a $5,000 college scholarship.

“These kids work really hard and they’re really competitive,” Scheirman said.

“But one of the reasons North Bend has had such success is because of Marshfield, Coquille and Bandon. We all work very closely together. The coaches coach each others’ kids and we share resources.”

Forensics funding is lacking. The clubs snag grants when they can, and they host fundraisers and take

Six other South Coast forensics students have qualified for the National Speech & Debate Tournament next month.

Three Bandon High students: ■ Jeneveve Winchell, senior, and Autumn Moss Strong, sophomore, in duo interpretation of “The Unknown Part of the Ocean.”

■ Stephanie Gordon, senior, in dramatic interpretation of “Ronald Reagan Hates Your Ugly Mother.”

Two Marshfield High students: ■ Jadess Taitano, senior, in dramatic interpretation of “Life as a Fly.” ■ Helena Platt, junior, in humorous interpretation of “Camp Sunshine.”

One Coquille High student: ■ Kaitlyn Dixon, junior, in congress (she’ll debate up to 44 different bills and resolutions proposed by students from across the country).

To see Marshfield High’s forensics team’s best speeches of the year, the team is hosting “Phorehnziks Nite” and auction at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the high school cafeteria. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Bandon High’s team will show off its favorite award-winning speeches at 7 p.m. May 22, at the Sprague Community Theater. The event will feature a silent auction to raise funds for the team’s trip to nationals. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Purchase them at the door, from BHS speech team members or call coach Ellen Howard at 541-347-4413, ext. 455.

donations to fund their trips.

The kids are competitive, but they don’t have it out for their peers. All the South Coast forensics students are like a family — “and I know that sounds cliché,” Goodwin said.

Scheirman and his team travel on a 14-seater bus from competition to competition. They’ve bonded the most during those long drives.

“It’s a very unique thing we’re doing in Coos County, all of us working so closely together,” Scheirman said. “Some people on the

outside don’t understand.

We don’t look at a Coquille girl or a Bandon kid who debates well, and think, ‘I’m going to prep my kids to defeat them.’”

Bandon High forensics coach Ellen Howard’s motto applies to the teams’ collaborative spirit: “Iron sharpens iron.”

State rejects teacher request to delay tough tests PORTLAND (AP) — The teachers union in Oregon wants the state to put off tough new statewide tests scheduled for next year because a majority of students are expected to fail. But state schools chief Rob Saxton has refused.

The new statewide tests are part of a national standard called the

Common Core, and the state Department of Education estimates that only 35 percent to 40 percent of Oregon students will pass the first year, The Oregonian reported.

Teachers in some districts have not had enough time and training in teaching to the tests, said Hanna Vaandering, president of the Oregon

Education Association.

“Is there any rational reason why you would give an assessment that 65 percent of our students would fail?” she said.

Saxton said it’s important for Oregon to give students, schools, parents and policy makers accurate information about how students

States that have switched to Common Core tests saw marked improvements in the second and third years, he said.

something about it is to sit down and talk about it, and then commit to a course of action.”

Finding a miraculous answer to the problems at these meetings is a long shot, but their success is measured in other ways. Craddock says the meetings serve two other key purposes.

“One, we want to get more information out, which clarifies misconceptions and confirms the need to the this,” he said. “Secondly, (it serves) to begin the community discussion about what we want to do as a community.”

“What we did,” added Hossley, “is briefly show where the dollars come from now, what are some of the tough spots that the other (potential funding) sources have.”

Those potential sources included things like general obligation bonds, which puts the tab solely on taxpayers, or revenue bonds, which are tied to usage. It seems likely that the problem will need to utilize a combination, with other funding sources thrown in.

Hossley says the next step on the wastewater issue will be to seek out those alternative sources for loans.

“Right now, we just go to the state troughs for our loans and we may need to become a little more selfsufficient,” he said. “And that would be through some sort of municipal bonds.”

On the streets side of things, the next step is to create a menu of options with corresponding price tags.

They can then go back to the citizenry with some choices.

“This is the start of that conversation,” Hossley said.

Both conversations will continue with another public meeting Wednesday, May 14, at Sunset Middle School in Coos Bay. The meeting, originally scheduled to be in the common room, has been moved to the gymnasium and will start at 6 p.m.

Sam’s call provided drama for ESPN at NFL draft ESPN knows every good action movie has a ticking clock, and at the NFL Draft on Saturday, it hit a buzzer-beater with Michael Sam. For a couple hours, Sam’s lifelong dream must’ve felt like it was on a teeter-totter with twins.

Usually ESPN’s focus on the final day of the NFL Draft is Mel Kuiper ripping through B-roll as he waxes poetic for 30 seconds on the lateral quickness of some seventh-round selection out of Arkansas State. But this time ESPN had a camera on Sam, a player who they were fully aware might not get picked. Never has a prospect’s draft stock been such a national curiosity when it was so low. And never SPORTS has watching the draft been so interesting.

Sam’s moment could have seemed exploitative. But if you strip away the added hysteria of Sam being the first openly player draftGEORGE gay ed, you get a ARTSITAS moment we’ll probably never see again; the camera locked on a guy taken with the 249th pick overall. With just seven picks left and his dream fleeting, he got the best news he could fathom when a second a perpetual optimist would’ve been a curmudgeon in his shoes.

If you missed it on Saturday, Sam was sitting in his living room when he got the phone call from Rams general manager Les Snead.

Sam peered down at his iPhone, recognized who it was and his lips immediately started to trembled.

You could see his face start to wince trying to hold back the tears while he led the phone to his ear.

Most of what he said was either “Yes, sir” or inaudible. Bawling his eyes out, eventually Sam just gave in, stopped trying to speak and keeled over. His partner tried to prop him up by his salmon polo shirt, but had to settle with an awkward hug over his back. This went on for 48 seconds, Sam with the iPhone pressed to his ear, sobbing through the phone to his new boss.

“The raw emotion,” ESPN analyst Trey Wingo said to break the silence. “We’ve seen this so many times, over and over again, for so many players.”

But Sam’s was different. His backstory of being the first gay man drafted to the NFL got the cameras in the door, but the reaction made them zoom.

It’s why the draft is a perfect moment for sports. Sam was just the last of a three-day stampede of kids seeing their dreams realized. Weave out the spectacle that comes along with all the Goddell-booing and Grudengriping and the draft offers a window into the greatest single moment of these kids lives. Years of hard work are legitimized by a single phone call.

At the end of the day, Sam was just a 24-year-old man whose wildest dream came true in front of America.

Thousands of teenagers make the decision to push all their chips into the middle with football just for the chance to be a professional one day and 256 had their decision validated over the weekend.

In sports, we always feel like a trophy needs to be in the frame for something to seem like an accomplishment.

It’s why I’m a huge softy for Oscar speeches. Watching exasperated thespians deliver an extemporaneous, at best, speech the moment after receiving their highest professional accomplishment is something we don’t get in sports.

Until Saturday, when Sam truly didn’t know if he was going to be drafted until the moment his iPhone vibrated. It was a second to show a modicum of authentic, overwhelming emotion.

Or maybe for Sam, closer to 48 seconds.

Sutherlin’s Tyler Franke chips a shot onto the 12th green during the Far West League district tournament at Bandon Crossings Tuesday. Franke was the boys medalist.

District brings celebration, heartbreak Pirates claim team title while Coquille is stunned by DQ ■

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

BANDON — Marshfield’s boys golf team shot its best score of the season to win the Far West League district tournament at Bandon Crossings on Tuesday, while defending state champion Tyler Franke of Sutherlin took home the individual title.

They had every reason to celebrate.

But a lot of other people — from every team — came away from the tournament feeling bad for the combined Coquille-Myrtle Point team and senior leader Terrence Edwards, who won’t be making the trip to state after Edwards was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.

The disqualification, combined with Sutherlin’s best round of the season and Coquille having to count a poor fifth score, allowed the Bulldogs to rally past the Red Devils and nab the second team berth for the state tournament next Monday and Tuesday at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond.

“It’s an honest mistake, but it’s

a mistake,” said Coquille coach Don Swenson. “Terrence is heartbroken.”

The Red Devils had their best round of the year on Monday with a 331 and led after the opening 18 holes.

Led by Franke, Sutherlin shot 334 Tuesday for its best round — the previous best was the 353 Monday, and before that a 368 at Bandon Crossings in the final tournament of the regular season.

“That is a bummer deal,” said Marshfield coach Scott Banks.

“They were the second best team all year. They were the best team yesterday.”

North Bend coach Casey

McCord was reminded of a similar experience his senior year in high school that cost both him and his teammates a trip to their state tournament.

“I’m sick to my stomach,” he said. “And I know (Sutherlin coach) Joe (Jaukkuri) doesn’t feel good, either.”

With the exception of the Coquille situation, there was a lot of celebrating.

Franke, who started the day three shots behind Edwards, fired a 74 to take medalist honors by two strokes over Marshfield’s Kasey Banks.

Girls focus on individual success

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

BANDON — With Bandon fielding the only complete team, the Class 4A-3A-2A-1A District 3 girls golf tournament focused on individuals.

And when the final putt fell into the hole on the 18th green Tuesday, Coquille’s Brianna Duff was atop the pack as medalist.

“That was cool,” said Duff, a

sophomore who moved into the Coquille area this school year. “I expected to make it (to state), just not to get first.”

Bandon advanced to state as a team. Duff made it as an individual, along with Marshfield’s Jane Suppes and North Bend’s Brooklyn Dunham.

Duff’s score of 105 Tuesday was just enough to edge Suppes and Bandon’s Grace McMahon by one shot for medalist honors with

a two-day total of 209.

“I could have played better, but I made it,” said Duff, who will be joined by the others for the state tournament next Monday and Tuesday at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis. “I’d like to do really good there, too.”

Suppes, who shot a 106 Tuesday, also was looking forward to next week.

North Bend’s Keaten Baker repeated as district tennis champion Tuesday, winning in the semifinals and championship by matching 6-0, 6-2 scores.

Baker helped North Bend repeat as team champion with 34 points, eight better than runner-up Sisters.

Marshfield was sixth with six points.

North Bend’s Stewart Lyons and James Jordan lost in the championship match to Klamath Union’s Hayden Lam and Greg Pinkston 0-6, 6-2, 6-2.

“Stewart and James were rock solid, but ran into a team that played great over the final two sets,” North Bend coach Dustin Hood said.

The Bulldogs’ other doubles player to reach the semifinals, Jacob Gage and Brigham Baker, ultimately placed third after being denied a spot in the championship match by their own teammates.

“Brigham and Jacob were the surprise of the tournament,” Hood said.

“They grew with each match and played with more confidence.”

North Bend won its fifth straight boys title.

“We’ve been fortunate to have a lot of good kids come through,” Hood said.

Marshfield’s Jose Arellano reached the consolation semifinals before being eliminated Tuesday.

Doubles partners Austin Muncy and Leon Wittern-Kochs reached the consolation quarterfinals.

The state tournament is May 22-24 at Oregon State University in Corvallis.

Marshfield comes up short in baseball finale

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield closed out its baseball season on a sour note Tuesday against the Far West League’s last place team, losing to Sutherlin 8-2 on senior night.

The loss finishes the Pirates’ season with a 5-13 record in league and 6-18 record overall. Still, they weren’t too disappointed in Tuesday’s loss.

“The scoreboard was rough, but I think we still sent the seniors out on a good note and had fun,” Marshfield head coach Scott Carpenter said. “Looking a the scoreboard you couldn’t tell, but we had fun.”

All of Marshfield offense came from manufacturing runs. In the fourth, Tyler Campbell tied the game at 1-1 by doubling to lead off the inning, stealing third base, then scoring on catcher Wyatt McKnight’s overthrow of third base-

Panthers tip Tigers for berth to state

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

BANDON — Locally, the interest was in the team race for second place and a spot in the Class 3A-2A-1A state golf tournament between Bandon and Gold Beach.

But most of the golfers and fans flocked back to the course Tuesday afternoon to watch a showdown between Oakridge brothers Gerry and Joel Snyder for medalist honors after they tied for the low score in the District 3 tournament at Bandon Crossings.

Gerry, the older brother, won by parring the first hole — he just missed a birdie — and accepted congratulations from the onlookers and his competitors from the other teams.

“I think it’s cool,” Gerry said of winning the district title. “It’s one of my dreams.”

Gerry had to overcome a five-shot deficit starting the second day of the tournament to match his brother.

His 2-over 74 on Tuesday gave him a two-day total of 154.

He didn’t mind the event ending in a playoff.

“That’s what we do — compete every day,” he said.

Now Gerry is looking forward to state, both for himself — he tied for 20th last year — and for his team.

“If we play like we did in this district tournament, we have a chance of at least top five,” Gerry said.

The Warriors, who won the team title by more than

BOYS From Page B1 “Coach told me before I went out, ‘You’re the best player here, just play your own game,’” Franke said.

“I’m pretty happy overall.”

Last spring, Franke shared medalist honors at state with Mazama’s Bryce Wortman.

This year, he hopes to win the title outright.

“There’s a bunch of good players,” he said. “You’ve just got to play good.”

Meanwhile, Franke also was excited by the improvement of his own team.

“We had our best score both days,” he said. “I’m really happy with my team. They came a long way since the start of the year.”

The same could be said for Marshfield, which also had its best round of the year Tuesday, a 327.

“Last year, our best score was 348,” Kasey Banks said.

“We’ve all improved a lot.”

Banks had the best two competitive rounds of his life, a 77 Monday and a 75 Tuesday. Preston Luckman shot a 76 Monday and a 78 Tuesday to finish third overall.

“These two days, me and Preston have played really well,” Banks said. “My short game was on track and I was making deep putts.”

Winning the tournament title — to go with the regularseason crown — was important to the Pirates, he said.

men Thomas Ghasedi. Campbell went 2-for-3 and was the only Pirate with multiple hits on the day.

After that, most of the action offensively happened in the fifth inning. Sutherlin opened up with four straight walks on Pirate starter Victor Lahr before a Dustin Eakin single knocked in Ghasedi to put the Bulldogs up 3-0.

Lahr was relieved by Campbell, who allowed a sacrifice fly to Jace Martineau, but got out of the inning unscathed otherwise.

The Pirates got out of the fifth, but accuracy and control issues sank the Pirates on the mound.

Marshfield pitchers issued 11 walks on the evening, and seven of those base runners came around to score.

“We just kind of had some miscues and they took advantage of it,” Carpenter said, then commented on the 10 runners the Pirates left on base. “We had some guys in scoring position and couldn’t get the hit.”

In the bottom half of the fifth,

the Pirates had Johnny Phillips, DJ Harrington and Drew James all get on to load the bases with no outs.

From there, Bulldogs pitchers Wryland McKnight buckled down and only allowed an Andrew Sharp sacrifice fly to keep the score at 4-2 and stay in line for the win.

Marshfield struggled to hit off McKnight, who kept Marshfield’s offense in check. He went 6 2-3 innings, with seven strikeouts and gave up a single earned run.

“He was throwing consistent strikes every inning and showed up to play today,” Pirate cleanup hitter Anthony Ross said.

In the sixth, the Bulldogs padded the lead with three insurance runs behind a two-run bases-loaded single by Ghasedi.

With the score at 8-2 going into the bottom of the seventh, Marshfield seniors Drew James and Ross had a pretty good idea it would be their last at bats as Pirates.

“I was tense this whole game,”

Ross said.“My biggest fear was coming up to that final at bar and in the last inning getting a backwards K.” Ross was making fun of James, who struck out looking in his final at bat in the seventh.

James said after the game the moment might’ve gotten to him.

“I’ve been starting all four years and you get to your final at bat and you just get overwhelmed,” James said. “I definitely don’t want to take this jersey off.”

The Pirates started the league season 2-9 and dug themselves a hole they couldn’t get out of early, so they embraced the role of spoiler.

Tuesday’s loss comes after the Pirates had recently beaten Brookings-Harbor and Siuslaw, two teams poised to make the postseason out of the Far West League.

“It was definitely a good time the last half of the season because we were fighting,” James said.

“We were together and fighting,” Ross added. “All we were real-

ly doing was playing for pride and just trying to knock teams out of their playoff spots.”

Tuesday offered an opportunity for Carpenter to plug senior Ty Bunnell in right field. Carpenter said Bunnell hasn’t seen a lot of time on the field but is a “yes coach, no coach” type of kid that he really wanted to reward.

“It was a must,” Carpenter said.

“He deserved it.”

Next year the Pirates will return five starters included their middle infield of Campbell and Sharpe, have big first baseman Austin Soria coming back and younger standouts like Cooper Simpson set to develop as well.

It makes it easy for Carpenter to get excited about the future of his program.

“The group that’s coming a back is a good group,” Carpenter said.

“The seniors are going to be missed but you can’t help but already think about next year.”

Grand slam sparks Bulldogs THE WORLD North Bend’s baseball team continued its hot streak Tuesday, when Tylan Corder hit a go-ahead grand slam in the fifth inning to give the Bulldogs a 5-3 win at Brookings-Harbor.

The Bulldogs only had two hits, both in the fifth inning, when they erased a 3-0 deficit. All five runs came with two outs.

J a re d Hampel walked and stole second.

Marshall Rice hit an RBI single with two strikes to break up the shutout bid by BrookingsHarbor’s Wyatt Aldrich.

Willie Mahr walked and the Bruins brought in Justin Murray, who walked Zach Inskeep to load the bases.

Corder then crushed his home run to right field.

“It was a good win,” North Bend coach Brad Horning said. “They did a pretty good job of taking it to us early. We got it all done in one inning there. We had some good atbats, which led to some walks, and Rice and Corder

Oklahoma City has stunning last-minute rally THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook finished off Oklahoma City’s stunning comeback.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers believes he should never have had the chance.

Westbrook scored 38 points and made three free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining, and the Thunder overcame a seven-point deficit in the final 50 seconds to beat Los Angeles 105-104 on Tuesday night and go up 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals.

“I think when you get a win like this it brings everybody closer,” Westbrook said. “It lets you know you can’t mess around. You have to take every moment, every play and go out and win the game.”

The play that led to Westbrook’s free throws is in dispute.

Kevin Durant made a 3-pointer, then Los Angeles’ Jamal Crawford missed in close before Durant made a layup with 17 seconds left.

Westbrook stole the ball, and in a scramble, the Thunder got posses-

sion with 11.3 seconds to play, setting up Westbrook’s play. The Clippers believed the ball went off Oklahoma City’s Reggie Jackson, but the officials awarded the ball to the Thunder. After review, the play stood.

“Everybody knows it was our ball,” Rivers said. “The bottom line is they thought it was a foul and they made up for it. Let’s take away the replay. We were robbed. It was our ball, whether it was a foul or not.”

The Thunder were more focused on what they did after the call. They can clinch the series Thursday in Los Angeles.

“I’ve never seen a game like this with us,” Durant said. “It just shows that you can never keep us down.

We’re going to fight until the end no matter what happens. We fought through it all and persevered through it all.”

After the Thunder got possession, Westbrook was fouled by Chris Paul while shooting a 3pointer with the Thunder trailing by two. Westbrook, who had missed a 3-pointer that would have won

Game 4 in the closing seconds, welcomed the chance for redemption.

“I’m still upset about that shot that I missed in L.A. for the game, so tonight, I just tried to take my time, take a deep breath and knock ‘em down,” he said.

After the free throws, Paul drove to the hoop, but Jackson stole the ball from him, and time expired.

“Probably the toughest thing I’ve been through, basketballwise,” Paul said. “Everything that happened there at the end is on me.

It was just bad basketball.”

Durant scored 10 of his 27 points in the final 3:23 after shooting 3for-17 through three quarters.

“Great players can have a bad shooting night, have a great three minutes and be the superstars that they are,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “He hung in there and there were times where he thought nothing would go right. They stuck together and fought through a lot of tough situations.”

Blake Griffin had 24 points and 17 rebounds, Crawford scored 19 points and Paul had 17 points and 14

Washington used a 15-6 run to take a 45-38 halftime lead, extended the margin to 24 after three and to as much as 30 in the fourth.

repeat it. But that is not always the case. In this deal, South is in four spades. West leads a low diamond.

East takes the trick with his 10 and returns a low diamond. After ruffing, how should declarer continue?

South might have immediately overcalled four spades, but wondered about a slam. West made a negative double, promising four hearts. East’s double was for takeout; it was a tad aggressive, but the singleton spade improved his hand’s value.

South must hold his losers to one in each side suit. Since West has a club honor, this requires taking two club finesses and leading toward the heart king. So, declarer seems to need three dummy entries, but he has only two: the spade jack and ace. However, he can do it if he is thoughtful.

South draws trumps ending in the dummy. Then comes the key play: He must lead the club two and play his jack.

West wins and leads another diamond.

Declarer ruffs, crosses to dummy with a spade, and runs the club nine. Still in the dummy, he can then lead a heart up to his king — mission accomplished.

Quick fixes often fail to ease suffering for long

BY JAMES CASEY For The World

Managing chronic pain with fewer drugs or no meds all: That’s a bitter pill to swallow.

Patients can accomplish this feat, however, if they understand that long-term discomfort requires long-

term strategies, not just the quick fix of potentially addictive pain relievers.

In some cases, a person’s best choice for managing pain could be to face it, perhaps even embrace it.

“Why reach for pain medication when there are so many other things?” asks Rachel Stappler, physician

assistant at North Bend Medical Center and a leading local proponent for ending the prevailing pop-a-pill approach to pain.

Among the alternatives are prayer, meditation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, mobility disciplines SEE FIX | PAGE 4

S o me sca ry s t at is t i cs ■ Deaths from prescription drug overdoses in the United States now exceed those from traffic fatalities, according to Dr. Andy Mendenhall of Hazelden Addiction Treatment Centers in Oregon. Most are from opiate drugs.

■ Drug deaths from prescription opioids were more than double those from cocaine and four times those from heroin in 2008, say the Centers for Disease Control.

■ The United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population but consumes 80 percent of all opioids, prescription and illegal, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. Nearly half the illicit prescription opiates are diverted from legitimate prescriptions.

■ Sales of the powerful painkillers tripled from 1999 to 2008, say the CDC. ■ Doctors in Workers’ Compensation claims are the most likely to prescribe opioid drugs, according to Rachel Stappler, PA, of North Bend Medical Center.

■ People on Medicaid are prescribed painkillers at twice the rate of non-Medicaid patients and are at six times the risk of overdosing on the drugs, according to the CDC. In Washington state, 45 percent of people who died from such overdoses were Medicaid enrollees.

■ Oregon and neighboring Washington and Nevada are in the top tier of prescription painkiller sales — 8.5 to 12.6 kilograms per 10,000 people — say the CDC. They share this distinction with the drug-ravaged Appalachian states of Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia.

■ According to data from Multnomah County, 72 percent of heroin addicts who appeared in drug court started by abusing prescription painkillers.

That’s right. Sleeping well can decrease a person’s pain by up to 40 percent; Stappler says, citing a University of Washington Department of Pain

Medicine and Anesthesiology study.

Then there’s behavioral medicine, known to medicos as B-med, that encompasses the Train Your Brain classes and other courses offered by Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay (see related report).

Old-fashioned remedies Other strategies include

some your mother may have told you: ■ Stop smoking. Tobacco lowers a person’s tolerance for pain, says Linda Hicks, RN, health care educator at BAH. ■ Drink more water, up to 3 quarts a day for a 250pound person, to wash away inflammatory chemicals from the blood, Hicks says,

and to lubricate joints.

The low-tech, no-med heating pad and ice pack are other possible pain-relief choices. So are low-impact exercise, swimming, massage and yoga.

Capsaicin cream made from hot peppers can ease hurting by overwhelming pain fibers. Just be sure to wash your hands after applying the cream and not get it into your eyes. Expect best results in one to two weeks.

Knowing how and when to take non-opioid medications also increases the effectiveness of pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and acetaminophen. Take them 15 minutes or more before you start an activity, swallow them with plenty of water, and expect them to last not much longer than three to four hours, says Hicks.

By James Casey, for The World

Rachel Stappler: “Gone are the days of just handing out scripts.”

But beware of overdosing with acetaminophen and damaging your liver. The medication, best known as Tylenol, often is included in other over-the-counter medicines like cold remedies. Check ingredients carefully.

Getting zapped Good gizmos include TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units, little electronic gentle zappers that interfere with the transmission of pain and that produce endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. TENS units use stick-on electrodes that may be incorporated into a supportive back, shoulder or knee brace.

Another device is MIRE (monochromatic infrared energy), a heating pad-like appliance that increases circulation and therefore

decreases inflammation and pain. It produces no side effects except pleasant warmth.

Meanwhile, Hicks says, doctors also must think beyond the quick fixes, the chemical remedies that have created an epidemic of addiction to prescription painkillers, mostly those derived from that millenniaold substance, opium.

“One has to engage more than just opening a bottle,” she says. “We can no longer expect a pill to fix a condition.”

A person’s goal no longer may be to be pain free, Hicks adds, but to live a full and fulfilling life.

“Changing lifestyle and working at getting as healthy as we can is what will ultimately improve our condition — and frequently improve our experience of pain.”

Bay Area Hospital links to Oregon Health Sciences for expert advice COOS BAY — As influenza careened through the Caldera household this year, it hit 8-year-old Ryan hardest.

After a week of fever and coughing, Ryan was admitted to Bay Area Hospital. Pneumonia was starving his bloodstream of oxygen.

Despite antibiotics and an oxygen mask, Ryan got worse. His pediatrician, Dr. Jon Yost, thought the boy would need specialized care at Oregon Health & Science University.

The trip would be a financial blow to his family — an air ambulance ride to Portland, hotel bills, meals and lost income.

It would pose logistical problems as well. Ten-year-old Ashley was fighting a milder case of pneumonia at home.

Six-year-old Brady was back in school after his own bout with flu.

How would the Calderas manage an impromptu trip to Portland?

They didn’t have to, thanks to technology that beams the specialized skills of OHSU physicians into hospitals around Oregon.

Using a two-way video system called telemedicine, pediatric critical care specialists at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital talked with Ryan, Contributed photo Ryan Caldera has made a full recovery. He is a happy healthy boy doing his parents and his doctors in Coos Bay. They confirmed that Ryan’s doctors

what 8-year-olds do.

were taking the right steps, and they offered a few suggestions.

“The main thing they gave us was the confidence that he could stay here,” Yost says.

Telemedicine employs a “robot” — basically a video camera and computer monitor on a wheeled stand. In Portland, OHSU doctors aim and zoom the camera, interview children and parents, and view patients’ vitals and lab results in real time.

OHSU specialists have consulted on 49 stroke and pediatric cases since the robot’s 2011 arrival at Bay Area Hospital. Most of those patients stayed in Coos Bay for treatment. OHSU estimates telemedicine saved those patients about $570,000 in transport costs alone — along with the associated expense and family upheaval of a faraway hospital stay.

Statewide, OHSU physicians in eight specialties have provided consultations for 750 patients. An estimated 40 percent have been able to stay in their home communities, saving more than $4.2 million on medical transport alone.

Avoiding the Portland trip was a big relief to Ryan’s parents, Chris and Michelle Caldera. A bigger relief was the knowledge that Ryan was getting

the same treatment in Coos Bay as he would at Doernbecher.

When the antibiotics eventually took hold, Ryan made “an amazing recovery,” his mom says. Today he’s once again a healthy 8-year-old.

Dr. Laura Ibsen, a pediatric critical care specialist who consulted on Ryan’s case, says telemedicine is more effective than a simple phone conversation.

“If you can see them, it really, really helps a lot” in deciding whether to move a patient to Portland, she says.

Yost said 24-hour access to intensive care specialists is a boon to rural pediatricians. With vaccines protecting today’s children from many diseases, pediatricians in small communities rarely treat critically ill children. OHSU specialists offer a wealth of experience.

“These guys do nothing but treat critically ill kids all day,” Yost says.

OHSU’s Ibsen agrees.

“It’s a different knowledge base,” she says.

Ibsen regards telemedicine as a key element of OHSU’s mission.

“As the university hospital for the state, we view all of Oregon as our community,” she says. “Telemedicine has been a way for us to extend ourselves more effectively to the community we serve.”

Cotton: another success for Bay Area Hospital COOS BAY — A blood clot nearly took Glen Cotton off the golf course for good. You might say technology and a rapid medical response gave him a one-stroke mulligan.

“He’s kind of a miracle man,” says his wife, Audri.

On Feb. 20, the 81-year-old Cotton was chatting with his son, who was visiting from Myrtle Point. Cory Cotton suddenly realized his father had dropped out of the conversation.

It was a stroke. A blood clot was lodged in an artery on the right side of Glen Cotton’s brain. The left side of his face sagged. He couldn’t use his left arm or leg, his words were slurred, and he had no sight in his left eye.

Things happened quickly. A 911 call. An ambulance ride. And a glint of hope.

At Bay Area Hospital, Dr. William Aurich explained that Cotton might be a candidate for a drug called tPA (tissue plasminogen activator). The treatment is risky, and only a fraction of stroke patients are eligible. Even within that small group, tPA doesn’t help everyone. But Aurich thought Cotton might be one of the lucky ones.

Next came a video consultation with a neurologist at Portland’s Oregon Health & Science University, using a system called telemedicine. Dr. Kory Herrick evaluated

Cotton’s condition via two-way video.

“It looked like he was headed to a stroke that would have caused death to most of the brain on the right side,” Herrick recalls. That would mean permanent paralysis on Cotton’s left side.

Speed is crucial in treating strokes. The clot-busting tPA must be administered within the first three hours.

Cotton had the benefit of a quick ambulance response, a rapid diagnosis by Aurich, and the telemedicine connection to Herrick’s specialized expertise.

Herrick and Aurich agreed on a plan. They would give Cotton the clot-busting drug, then fly him to OHSU for a “mechanical thrombectomy.” The procedure threads a catheter through the patient’s aorta to the brain, where it deploys a netlike device to snare the clot.

Two days later, Cotton came home from OHSU. He played the season’s first round of golf in early April, riding a cart. On April 18, he walked nine holes. He shows no evidence of the stroke that nearly sidelined him.

That’s exhilarating news to Aurich.

“To know that he still can swing that club after being paralyzed just makes me smile,” the doctor wrote in a recent email. “This case was a hole in one.”

Audri Cotton says, “Every day I count my blessings.”

Disordered eating begins when a person believes he or she has to look a certain way to be happy or healthy; this person diets, watches every bite eaten, exercises profusely, and often begins a vicious cycle of body dissatisfaction and obsession that jeopardize one’s health, happiness, ability to concentrate, and safety.

A few of the many physical effects that can result from disordered eating behaviors include fatigue, loss of hair, digestive problems and heart palpitations.
