No script, no problem at Marshfield School improv club boosts class participation, student confidence ■
BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
COOS BAY — Screams, squawks and sobs escape Marshfield High’s Drama Lab every Thursday, noises that have translated into confidence and higher participation in
theater classes. On average, 60 students have packed the Drama Lab during lunch every Thursday this school year to work on their improvisation skills. Allison Bassett, Marshfield’s performing arts teacher, started the club as a way to give theater more exposure. “I was trying to get more kids to come in to the Drama Lab who usually didn’t,” Bassett said. “I needed to figure out ways to expose kids to something I thought might help
them be more successful in other areas.” It showed in her class sizes, which spiked from first to s e c o n d s e m e s t e r. See the video for this Students who story online at walltheworldlink.com/video were f l o we r s before have started speaking up in class. “There were a lot of kids who hadn’t done theater before, some
who were coming to improv, who decided to try out for theater,” she said. “At the beginning, it was the same people, but as time went on, those who typically just watched started participating.” Improv boosts students’ confidence, she said, and rids them of public speaking nerves. Bassett taught her improv kids several sketches at the beginning of the year, but as the semester wore on, the students started taking the lead.
“This is what I wanted in the end, was for the students to run it,” she said. On Thursday, improv was completely student-run, since Bassett was on the road with some of her choir students. Daylin Bibey, a senior, led the group, calling on students to act out different sketches. Bibey introduced a new sketch — sound effects — this semester, SEE IMPROV | A10

Service-goers at the annual Blessing of the Fleet in Charleston on Monday morning carry flowers to the waiting U.S. Coast Guard motor lifeboat Intrepid. The Intrepid carried flowers out to sea to pay respect to fallen members of the Charleston fishing fleet. A U.S. Coast Guard color guard detail leads the procession ending the 24th annual Blessing of the Fleet in Charleston on Monday morning. The event, held every Memorial Day, recognizes fallen members of the Charleston fishing community.
COOS BAY — Amid all of the talk about costly needed upgrades to the infrastructure in Coos Bay, a bit of good news bubbled to the surface. City staff found a way to save millions of dollars in one part of the needed upgrade to the city’s wastewater treatment plants. At the last City Council meeting May 20, councilors voted to approve an amendment for the biosolids design for wastewater treatment plant 2. As part of the needed upgrades, a new facility is being built near the current Empire area plant located near Fulton Avenue. The plans, however, called for it to be constructed to the east, on the other side of Cape Arago Highway. Coos Bay Public Works Director Jim Hossley says initial planning indicated the need for a portion of the older structure to stay standing. These new developments now allow them to completely level the old plant. While that is more aesthetically pleasing, the bigger news is the related savings. Hossley says due diligence helped uncover a better way of doing things. While the design team of SHN/CH2M Hill worked on those original designs, the city contracted with Dyer Partnership to see if there was a more costeffective way to handle the biosolids. Currently, what wastewater plant workers refer to as SEE UPGRADES | A10
States face new cost concerns with Medicaid surge BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZADIVAR
Obama leads country in observing Memorial Day

WASHINGTON — From California to Rhode Island, states are confronting new concerns that their Medicaid costs will rise as a result of the federal health care law. That’s likely to revive the debate about how federal decisions can saddle states with unanticipated expenses. Before President Barack Obama’s law expanded Medicaid eligibility, millions of people who already were entitled to its safety-net coverage were not enrolled. Those same people are now signing up in unexpectedly high numbers, partly because of publicity about getting insured under the law. For states red or blue, the catch is that they must use more of their own money to cover this particular group. In California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s recent budget projected an additional $1.2 billion spending on Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid, due in part to surging numbers. State officials say about 300,000 more already-eligible Californians are expected to enroll than was estimated last fall.

The president made a fleeting reference to the widening scandal involving reports of poor performance by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is facing allegations of delayed treatments, and even deaths in Arizona. “As we’ve been reminded in recent days — we must do more to keep faith with our veterans and their families, and ensure they get the care and benefits and opportunities that they’ve earned and that they deserve,” said the president. “These Americans have done their duty,” Obama said. “They ask nothing more than that our country does ours — now and for decades to come,” he added, drawing more applause.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama led the nation in commemorating Memorial Day, declaring the United States has reached “a pivotal moment” in Afghanistan with the end of war approaching. Obama, who returned just hours earlier from a surprise visit with U.S. troops at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, paid tribute to those lost in battle there and elsewhere over history. He called them “patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice” for their country. “Early this morning, I returned from Afghanistan,” Obama told the audience of several thousand people. “Yesterday, I visited with some of our men and women

serving there — 7,000 miles from home. For more than 12 years, men and women like those I met with have borne the burden of our nation’s security. Now, because of their profound sacrifice, because of the progress they have made, we’re at a pivotal moment.” “Our troops are coming home. By the end of this year, our war in Afghanistan will finally come to end,” the president said to applause. “And yesterday at Bagram, and here today at Arlington, we pay tribute to the nearly 2,200 American patriots who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. We will honor them, always.” Obama has said it was likely that a small contingent of U.S. forces would stay behind for counterterrorism missions, as well as to train Afghan security forces.

Making choices on election day Our view The World’s political endorsement philosophy is simple — endorse only when necessary, and base the endorsement on facts.
What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.
The political season’s primaries are behind us and the campaign season toward the general election lies ahead. Seems like a good time to explain our philosophy concerning political endorsements. Political endorsements are a long-standing tradition in journalism; part of American journalism’s role as an active member of the community. Whether they make any difference, though, is debatable. Studies on the subject are inconclusive, and most all the studies focus on presidential campaigns. Only two facts stand out from
those studies: Newspapers have gravitated from endorsing mostly Republican candidates to Democrats and fewer newspapers are declaring endorsements. A survey by the industry magazine Editor & Publisher showed that by 1996, only about 30 percent of newspapers expressed their election preferences, as compared to 1940 when nearly 90 percent of newspapers did so. Why the decline? Frankly, many newspapers are concerned about alienating readers. We, however, believe the tradition still has value.
But we will be selective in sharing our opinions when the time comes. An endorsement means one candidate, or one side on an issue, is clearly better than the alternative. An endorsement must be compelling. And, an endorsement — like any valid opinion — must have a base in facts. So, when we declare an endorsement, it will be based on facts of an issue or past actions of a candidate, history being predictor of future action. And we won’t feel compelled to draw an opinion on every issue or every candidate. Sometimes, there
simply is no preference. As The New York Times said in the 1928 election between Al Smith and Herbert Hoover, it was “happy with either.” Finally, any endorsement from The World should be taken for what it is worth – just our recommendation. We don’t presume to tell you who or what to vote for. And we won’t go all Chicken Little on you if our picks don’t win. In the end, our opinion is just that — our opinion alone. And that’s as it should be, because in the end, the only opinion that should matter to you is your own.
Fight heroin with pot A plague of heroin addiction is upon us. Another plague. Heroin was the crisis that prompted Richard Nixon to launch the war on drugs in 1971. Time marched on. Cocaine and then crack cocaine and then methamphetamine overtook heroin as the drugs of the moment. Now heroin is back — and badder than ever. The war on drugs also grinds expensively on, an estimated $1 trillion down the hole so far. Amid the triumphant announcements of massive drug seizures and arrests of the kingpins, heroin has never been more abundant or so easy to find, in urban and rural America alike. Still, marijuana accounts for almost half of drug arrests, and most of those are for possession, not selling. This may sound counterintuitive, but as states ease up on the sale and use of pot, opportunity knocks for dealing with the heroin scourge. “If I had to write a prescription for the heroin problem,” retired Cincinnati police Capt. Howard Rahtz told me, “the first thing I’d do is legalize marijuana.” Rahtz has fought this battle on several front lines. After serving 18 years as a law officer, he ran a methadone clinic to FROMA treat addicts. A member HARROP of Law Enforcement Prohibition, Against Columnist Rahtz won’t go so far as the group’s official position, which is to legalize all drugs. Rahtz sees treatment as the only promising way to truly confront the heroin epidemic. He recalls his days as a police captain going after the traffickers: “We started getting record amounts of drugs, money and guns, and I’m writing memos to the chief. But then I’d ask the guys, ‘Is anyone walking around Cincinnati unable to find drugs?’” Because drug cartels garner 60 percent of their revenue from the marijuana trade, legalizing pot would smash up their business model. “I have zero problem with recreational marijuana,” Rahtz said. He would like Colorado and other states now taxing marijuana to earmark the money for drug treatment and rehabilitation. It’s crazy that only 10 percent of heroin addicts get into treatment, according to federal statistics. Why the heroin epidemic now? Much of the surge in heroin use stems from the recent crackdown on prescribed painkillers. Those addicted to pain medication went looking for an easily available alternative and found heroin. (One might question the value of making it hard for those hooked on prescription drugs to get them. At least then, a doctor would be on their case.) Today’s astounding heroin death tolls reflect the reality that heroin sold is now 10 times more pure than it was in the ‘70s. Adding to the tragedy, tolerance levels for heroin drop for those in treatment. The relapse rate in drug programs is high, and those who go back are killed by the strength of the drug on the street. What should be obvious is the futility of dumping all this money into the war on drugs while putting those wanting treatment on waiting lists. Even if many of those treated end up going back into the dungeon of drug use, their weeks or months off the drug ate into the dealers’ profits. Bringing heroin addicts in for treatment deprives the cartels of their best high-volume customers. Legalizing pot puts them out of their most lucrative business. Using tax revenues from the legal sale of marijuana to pay for treatment completes the virtuous circle. This virtuous circle can replace the vicious circle of the drug war. As odd as this sounds, we can fight heroin with marijuana.
Letters to the Editor Orthodox church has no ‘pope’ The AP describes the Ecumenical Patriarch (EP) of Constantinople as “the spiritual leader of 250 million Orthodox Christians” (“Orthodox patriarch eyes unity in visit with pope,” The World, May, 10, 2014). This implies that the Ecumenical Patriarch is compa-
rable to the pope of Rome, who is, as it were, a global bishop. However, in the Orthodox church, there is no global bishop. In fact, no bishop has any jurisdiction outside the borders of his own archdiocese. No bishop — not even his most the all-holiness divine Archbishop of Constantinople the new Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew — can tonsure a lowly reader outside
his jurisdiction without the permission of the local bishop. In the unlikely event that Patriarch Bartholomew proclaimed union with Rome, he would not be able to compel anyone outside his small jurisdiction to join him; in fact, if history is any guide, it is likely that most of his flock would desert him.

Making hard choices on immigration Speaker John Boehner talks a good game about pushing immigration reform. He told a recent fundraiser in Las Vegas that he was “hell-bent on getting this done this year,” reports the Wall Street Journal. And back home in Cincinnati, he even mocked his fellow House Republicans for failing to confront the issue. “Here’s the attitude,” the speaker told a Rotary Club meeting, screwing up his face in a look of distaste. “‘Ohhh, don’t make me do this. Ohhh, this is too hard.’” “We get elected to make choices,” Boehner added. “We get elected to solve problems, and it’s remarkable to me how many of my colleagues just don’t want to. ... They’ll take the path of least resistance.” It’s time for Boehner to follow his own advice. Yes, passing an immigration overhaul will be difficult. Yes, several dozen members of his own caucus adamantly oppose the whole idea and even threaten to depose the Speaker if he forces them to vote. But Boehner said it best: Governing is about making choices, about solving problems. And a badly broken system — 11 million immigrants living here without papers, while industries from agriculture to high-tech plead for more workers — is a problem that demands a solution. And soon. It’s been almost a year since
COKIE AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS Columnists
the Senate passed a comprehensive reform package with bipartisan support, and as President Obama recently noted, only a “very narrow window” is left this year for legislative action. “The closer we get to the midterm elections, the harder it is to get things done around here.” Actually, the president was understating the urgency. If this Congress fails to act, the next one would have to start all over in January. And since conservative Republicans will probably have more power after the elections, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York is right in saying that if immigration fails this summer, “it will not pass until 2017 at the earliest.” That would be a crime — a far more serious crime than the one committed by immigrants who crossed the border illegally in search of a better life for their families. There are at least three rea-
sons why Boehner should make the right choice by allowing the House to vote on a reform package. The first is morality. Boehner is a serious Catholic, and his church’s teaching is very clear on the matter. As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has officially stated, “Immigration policy that allows people to live here and contribute to society for years but refuses to offer them the opportunity to achieve legal status does not serve the common good. The presence of millions of people living without easy access to basic human rights and necessities is a great injustice.” Then there’s economics. The myth perpetrated by opponents of immigration — that newcomers take jobs from Americans — is totally wrong. Immigrants create jobs, pay taxes and contribute enormously to the entrepreneurial spirit that conservatives profess to value so highly. A leading Republican economist, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, estimates that an immigration reform bill would boost the national growth rate by close to a full percentage point per year over 10 years and reduce the deficit by nearly $3 trillion. That’s why Jay Timmons, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, says that supporting reform “is a unified position of the business community.” That’s why
Larry Kudlow, an economic advisor to President Reagan, writes that “Pro-growth immigration reform will strengthen the shaky economy.” If morality and economics are not enough, there’s always political self-interest. When Reagan was elected in 1980, the voting population was 88 percent white; by 2016, that rate will drop below 70 percent. Obama won more than seven out of 10 Hispanic and Asian votes in 2012, and smart Republicans know that their party’s future depends on reversing that trend. That’s why Tom Donohue, the president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, cracked recently that if the GOP does not back immigration reform this year, “they shouldn’t bother to run a candidate in 2016.” It would be one thing if the speaker had to buck a unified party completely opposed to reform. But he doesn’t. In a new Politico poll, 71 percent of all voters, including 64 percent of Republicans, backed “sweeping change to immigration laws.” That means Boehner is allowing a small minority to block a measure that would promote moral virtue, generate economic growth and improve the political health of his own party. As the Speaker put it, lawmakers “get elected to make choices.” His choice should be clear.

State Woman’s HIV status casts shadow on budding romance DEAR ABBY: I’m a 32year-old woman who is HIV-positive. My colleague — who is unaware of my status — recently introduced me to a relative of hers who is also lonely and looking for someone to settle down with. We DEAR “clicked” and seem to complement each other in every way, although we haven’t had any sexual encounter. JEANNE My fear PHILLIPS is, how do I disclose my s t a t u s without being rejected? He seems to have big plans for us, which include settling down and having kids in the future. I am also worried that he might be angry with my colleague and not believe that she is unaware of my status. Please help me get out of this dilemma. — IN A SPOT IN SOUTH AFRICA DEAR IN A SPOT: I’ll try, but there are no guarantees. Much depends upon the strength of this man’s feelings for you. It is very important that you have a frank discussion with him before the relationship goes any further. The fact that you are HIVpositive may be problematic, but it does not mean you cannot have a family together if you wish in the future. Medications and other medical interventions can help keep the virus from being transmitted to your children, and condoms can protect your partner. If you are upfront about your status, the chances are better that he will believe you when you tell him his relative was not aware that you have HIV when you were introduced. In a case like this, honesty is the best policy. DEAR ABBY: I have three grown sons, all educated, married and successful. Their wives are the daughters I never had, and I treasure them and their children. I’m blessed with three perfect grandchildren under the age of 5. The problem is my sons. Although I raised them carefully with love, they are like teenagers. They constantly denigrate and fight with each other, and measure my time with them on a competitive scale. I no longer want to be involved with their bickering. Their dad, from whom I am separated, is not involved. This has created a sad cloud in my otherwise sunny life. I need some advice. — TIED IN KNOTS IN INDIANAPOLIS DEAR TIED IN KNOTS: Have you told your sons how uncomfortable their sibling quibbling makes you? If you haven’t, you should. And if that doesn’t improve the situation, I suggest you see them separately. And if that causes problems, please don’t make it YOUR problem. DEAR ABBY: Over the past 10 years or so, I have noticed a vast increase in people who talk while they are yawning. These “yawntalkers” are not only rude, but also almost impossible to understand. I wouldn’t normally care, except that a lot of people do it where I work. Is it OK to tell them to stop yawn-talking? Or would I be the rude one in the scenario? — WIDE AWAKE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR WIDE AWAKE: It wouldn’t be rude to ask someone to repeat the statement because you were unable to understand what the person was trying to say. And, by the way, polite folks cover their mouths when they yawn to avoid spraying saliva on the person in front of them.

Stolen military medal returned to widow PORTLAND (AP) — A stolen military metal has been found and returned to a Portland widow. KATU-TV reports thieves took the medal awarded to George Szimonisz, as well as family pictures and documents, from a home storage unit two years ago. His wife, Carol, who lives in Northeast Portland. On Monday, a couple contacted the television station to say they had found the medal with the veteran’s name engraved on it at a storage unit auction. KATU found Szimonisz’s wife and delivered the medal and other items on Monday, Memorial Day. Some of the pictures showed Szimonisz as a boy in Hungary, where he was born and before he and his family escaped in 1956. His wife says he came to the United States and entered the U.S. Air Force. He received the medal named from another Hungarian soldier for excellence and loyalty.
2nd body in ranch slayings identified
SALEM (AP) — Oregon’s rural poor often have difficulty reaching social services centered in urban areas. It’s expensive and inefficient to provide outreach in many far-flung places. So a Polk County initiative aims to bring multiple disparate social services to one place. Polk County opened a social services hub in Dallas where low-income families can find everything from rental assistance to help with the Oregon Health Plan, The Statesman Journal reported. Other services include immunizations and disability services. “All the services that serve our most at-risk families are spread all over,” said Brent DeMoe, manager of Polk County Family & Community Outreach. The family resource center is based on several others that have popped up in Oregon. At its best, Polk County officials hope the hub will be
able to offer low-income families resources they may not have known were available. “In Polk County this is the first time this many social service agencies are coming together in one spot to serve families in our area,” DeMoe said. Melissa Baurer with The Salvation Army said she believes it will eliminate a lot of running around both for families and for those who help them. “Instead of calling a partner,” she said, “I can walk down the hall and say, ‘I have this need how can we partner together to help them.’” A family might come in needing emergency diapers, for example, but the nonprofit might discover they don’t have health insurance and they qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, she said. “Those are the successes that make us think this is going to be awesome,” DeMoe said.
Sharp rise in West Coast oil trains, fears abound The Associated Press
A 1990 Toyota Camry after it was involved in a crash in the Highway 26 tunnel west near the community of Manning. Oregon State Police said a 19-year-old man caused the three-car crash when he fainted while holding his breath as he drove through the tunnel.
Man holding breath in tunnel causes crash MANNING (AP) — A 19year-old man told investigators he caused a three-car crash when he fainted while holding his breath as he drove through a tunnel northwest of Portland, Oregon State Police said. Daniel J. Calhon, of Washington, Snohomish, told investigators he fainted Sunday afternoon while holding his breath in the Highway 26 tunnel near the community of Manning, according to a news release. His car, a 1990 Toyota Camry, drifted across the centerline and crashed headon with a Ford Explorer. Both vehicles struck the tunnel walls before a pickup hit the Camry. Calhon and his passenger, 19-year-old Bradley Meyring, of Edmonds, Washington, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, as did the two people in the Explorer: Thomas Hatch Jr., 67, and Candace Hatch, 61, from Astoria. All four were taken to hospitals.
CENTRAL POINT (AP) — Oregon State Police say the agency’s crime lab has positively identified the remains of the second body found on a ranch in southern Oregon in January. They belonged to 59-yearold Stephen Frank Delicino, who worked as a handyman on the 20-acre property. Ranch owner Susan Monica is already charged with murdering Delicino in 2012 as well as another handyman, Robert Haney, last year. Investigators found the remains when they went to Monica’s Rogue River property to investigate the improper use of Haney’s food stamp card. Prosecutors say both victims were shot in the head, and that Monica made incriminating statements. She has pleaded not guilty. PORTLAND (AP) — A Monica is being held in the Jackson County jail.

The two people in the pickup were not hurt. Calhon was cited for reckless driving, three counts of reckless endangerment and fourth-degree assault in Washington County Circuit Court. It was not clear if he had a lawyer. State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said Monday he’s not sure why Calhon was holding his breath, but some people hold their breaths in tunnels as part of a game or superstition. The tunnel, called the Dennis L. Edwards Tunnel, was completed in 1940 and carries the highway through the Northern Oregon Coast Range mountains. It’s 772 feet long, meaning that a car traveling at the posted speed limit of 55 mph would get through it in about 10 seconds. Hastings told The Oregonian newspaper investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash. “It is odd,” he said.
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Residents along the scenic Columbia River are hoping to persuade regulators to reject plans for what would be the Pacific Northwest’s largest crude oil train terminal — the proposed destination for at least four trains a day, each more than a mile long. The increasing numbers of trains, each carrying tens of thousands of barrels of potentially volatile crude from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota, have raised concerns around the country after nine accidents in the past year, including one last month in Virginia. In Vancouver, Washington, just across the Columbia from Portland, the oil companies say their proposed terminal will create at least 80 permanent jobs and will bring an economic windfall to the region. But area residents and others in nearby communities are worried about the risks to people, wildlife, businesses and to their way of life. “We depend on the for moving Columbia freight, generating power, irrigating farms, fishing,” said Eric LaBrant, president of the Fruit Valley Neighborhood Association, which represents about 2,000 residents who live next to the proposed site. “Anywhere on the Columbia, an oil spill would
cripple our economy,” he said. The river is, in a way, the soul of the Pacific Northwest. It is cherished for its beauty, for its recreational offerings like wind surfing, and for the salmon and steelhead caught by sport fishermen, commercial fishermen and Native Americans. The fight over the terminal underscores a new reality on the West Coast: The region is receiving unprecedented amounts of crude oil by rail shipments, mostly from the oil boom in North Dakota, Montana and parts of Canada. More than a dozen oilby-rail refining facilities and terminals have been built in California, Oregon and Washington in the past three years. As a result, long oil trains are already rolling through rural and urban areas alike — including along the iconic Columbia. Another two dozen new projects or expansions are planned or in the works in those three states. While traditionally most crude has moved to Gulf Coast and the East Coast terminals and refineries, experts say there’s a West Coast boom because of cheap rail transport prices and its proximity to Asian markets should Congress lift a ban on U.S. oil exports.
Woman sues yoga studio when mirror falls, shatters ran up to $40,000. The suit claims that the heavy mirror was poorly glued onto the wall and lacked critical safety features such as screws or braces to keep it in place. “They slapped a little glue on the wall and that was it,” said Eltinge’s Portland attorney, Sean DuBois. “No screws. No other restraining device.” Eltinge said she was in the hospital for four days. She used a wheelchair or a walker to get around for two weeks. Her mother, mother-
in-law and husband — who flew home to be with her from Korea, where he is stationed in the Army — took shifts over five weeks to be with her during her initial recovery, when she wasn’t allowed to drive because of the medications she took. She is back to work now, and to yoga — which has helped in her recovery.

Nation NATIONAL GOP pressing Obama to confront Russia over nukes D I G E S T Hacking case belies profitable US links WASHINGTON (AP) — China may be trying to steal trade secrets from U.S. businesses, as federal prosecutors allege. Yet for many U.S. companies, China’s vast market remains an irresistible source of business. The Justice Department’s indictment last week of five Chinese military officials accused them of trying to pilfer confidential information from American companies.But even some of the alleged U.S.corporate victims of the hackers have little incentive to cheer any trade rupture with China.
String of wins bolsters same-sex marriage WASHINGTON (AP) — One after another and in sometimes evocative language, judges appointed by Republican and Democratic presidents are declaring it’s too late to turn back on the topic of same-sex marriage. The unbroken string of state and federal court rulings in support of gay and lesbian unions takes in every region of the country, including states of the Confederacy, and brings to 26 states where same-sex couples can get married or a judge has ruled they ought to be allowed. It also may have pushed gay marriage to a legal tipping point, where the cause has won such wide-ranging approval that it will be hard for the Supreme Court to rule against it. The court rulings and the measured response of even elected officials who oppose same-sex marriage may be especially important for justices who have worried about acting too quickly to impose same-sex marriage nationwide.
Tornado hits oil workers camp WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A tornado struck a workers camp in North Dakota’s oil patch on Monday, injuring nine people, including one critically, and destroying eight trailers where workers had been living, an emergency management official said. The twister touched down at around 7:50 p.m. at a camp about 5 miles south of Watford City, the National Weather Service reported. Watford City is in the west of the state and about 30 miles southeast of Williston, the city at the heart of the state’s oil boom. McKenzie County Management Emergency Director Jerry Samuelson said the crews were sifting through a large amount of debris at the camp, but that he was confident that nobody was missing. He said there were a lot more trailers at the camp just a few days ago, so the situation could have been a lot worse had it happened earlier.
3 men missing in Colorado mud slide COLLBRAN, Colo. (AP) — Rescue teams failed to find any sign Monday of three men missing after a ridge saturated with rain collapsed, sending mud sliding for 3 miles in a remote part of western Colorado. Clancy Nichols, 51, a county road and bridge employee, his son Danny, 24, and Wes Hawkins, 46, have been missing since Sunday after the ridge collapsed. They went to check on damage from an initial slide near the edge of Grand Mesa, one of the world’s largest flattopped mountains, after a rancher reported that his irrigation ditch had stopped flowing, Mesa County Sheriff Stan Hilkey said.
US plants prepare nuclear waste storage WATERFORD, Conn. (AP) — Nuclear power plants across the United States are building or expanding storage facilities to hold their spent fuel — radioactive waste that by now was supposed to be on its way to a national dump. The steel and concrete containers used to store the waste on-site were envisioned as only a short-term solution when introduced in the 1980s. Now they are the subject of reviews by industry and government to determine how they might hold up — if needed — for decades or longer.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is stepping up pressure on the White House to confront Russia over allegations that it is cheating on a key nuclear arms treaty — a faceoff that could further strain U.S.-Moscow relations and dampen President Barack Obama’s hopes to add deeper cuts in nuclear arsenals to his legacy. Butting heads with Russian President Vladimir Putin over compliance with a 26-year-old treaty to eliminate an entire class of nuclear weapons is not something that fits into Obama’s “reset” with Russia, which already was stalled after Russia granted asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. But the issue has been simmering for a few years and Republicans on Capitol Hill want Obama to address it head-on. The Russians are accused of testing a new groundlaunched cruise missile in violation of the treaty. Russian officials say they have looked into the allegations and consider the matter closed. It’s unclear why the administration, which has raised the issue with Russia through diplomatic channels, doesn’t want to publicly blow the whistle on Moscow’s alleged violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty signed in 1987. The treaty banned all U.S. and Russian land-based ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 300 miles and 3,400 miles.

Median CEO pay crosses $10 million in 2013 NEW YORK (AP) — They’re the $10 million men and women. Propelled by a soaring stock market, the median pay package for a CEO rose above eight figures for the first time last year. The head of a typical large public company earned a record $10.5 million, an increase of 8.8 percent from $9.6 million in 2012, according to an Press/Equilar Associated pay study. Last year was the fourth straight that CEO compensation rose following a decline during the Great Recession. The median CEO pay package climbed more than 50 percent over that stretch. A chief executive now makes about 257 times the average worker’s salary, up sharply from 181 times in 2009. The best paid CEO last year led an oilfield-services company. The highest paid female CEO was Carol Meyrowitz of discount retail
giant TJX, owner of TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. And the head of Monster Beverage got a monster of a raise. Over the last several years, companies’ boards of directors have tweaked executive compensation to answer critics’ calls for CEO pay to be more attuned to performance. They’ve cut back on stock options and cash bonuses, which were critirewarding for cized executives even when a company did poorly. Boards of directors have placed more
emphasis on paying CEOs in stock instead of cash and stock options. The change became a boon for CEOs last year because of a surge in stocks that drove the Standard & Poor’s 500 index up 30 percent. The stock component of pay packages rose 17 percent to $4.5 million. “Companies have been happy with their CEOs’ performance and the stock market has provided a big boost,” says Gary Hewitt, director of research at GMI
Ratings, a corporate governance research firm. “But we are still dealing with a situation where CEO compensation has spun out of control and CEOs are being paid extraordinary levels for their work.” The highest paid CEO was Anthony Petrello of oilfieldservices company Nabors Industries, who made $68.3 million in 2013. Petrello’s pay ballooned as a result of a $60 million lump sum that the company paid him to buy out his old contract.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will seek to keep 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the war formally ends later this year and then withdraw most of those forces by 2016, senior administration officials said Tuesday. Obama’s decision is largely in line with what military commanders have been seeking and would allow the president to fully end the American-led military effort by the time he leaves office. The two-year plan is contingent on the Afghan government signing a bilateral security agreement with the U.S. While current Afghan President Hamid Karzai has declined to sign the agreement, U.S. officials are confident that either of the candidates seeking to replace him would give his approval. The plan calls for the U.S. military to draw down from its current force of 32,000 to 9,800 by the start of next year. Those remaining troops would be throughout Afghanistan. Over the course of next year, the number of troops would be cut in half and consolidated in the capital of Kabul and at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base in Afghanistan. Those remaining forces would largely be withdrawn by the end of 2016, with fewer than 1,000 remaining behind to staff a security office in Kabul. Obama is to announce the plan from the White House Tuesday afternoon. He is just back from a surprise weekend trip to Afghanistan where he met with U.S. commanders and American forces serving in the closing months of the nation’s longest war. The officials providing details of the announcement insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plan by name ahead of the president.

Conquering credit cards Credit cards can protect you and your money. But it’s so easy to get burned! Are you feeling more controlled by your credit cards than in control? You have legal rights that protect you, but loopholes give credit card companies an advantage. Consumer confusion can mean big profits for them. Here’s the insider info you need to take charge once and for all. Freebies may not add up. Many credit cards offer enticements such as frequent-flier mileage, cash rebates and purchase discounts, but may charge higher interest rates and big annual fees. Insider tip: If you don’t pay your balance EVERYDAY full CHEAPSKATE in e ve r y month, chances are the heavy i n te re s t plus the annual fee will b e Mary greater than the Hunt value of any freebies you’ll get. You lose your grace period, so every new purchase begins accruing interest the minute you walk out the store. You may be better off switching to a nofee, low-interest rate card while you are paying off that balance. The good side of saying, “Charge it!” You get built-in protection with every purchase made with a credit card. When you pay for something with cash, check or debit card, you do not have the protection granted by the Federal Credit Billing Act. This can be bad news if the seller does not deliver goods or services as agreed. Insider tip: Always use a credit card to pay for something you order by mail, phone or online, or when you put down a deposit on an item. This way, if the company fails to deliver goods or services as agreed, you have the law on your side. Your credit card company must research the problem and make good on your purchase. How to get out of debt. When used intelligently, a credit card can simplify and protect your financial life. The best way to get that protection and convenience while avoiding the danger of getting burned is to pay the balance every month. If you need help paying off those credit cards fast, try this advice: Stop using the cards. Don’t take on any new debt! Arrange your debts on a simple chart with the smallest balance at the top, the rest in order below. “Fix” yo ur payments. Whatever your monthly payment is now, make a commitment to pay that same amount (or more) every month. Ignore the “falling” payment schedule the card companies prefer. As one debt reaches a zero balance, take its payment and add it to the payment of the next debt in line to help pay it off very quickly. When the second debt reaches a zero balance, take its payment and add it to the payment of the next debt in line to help pay it off very quickly. When the second debt is paid, add the first and second to the third and so on until all are paid. Insider tip: Take a look at the demo of my Rapid DebtRepayment Plan Calculator at Debtproofliving.com to see how DPL members are using it to create their own customized get-out-of-debt plans.

The Nigerians United Against Terrorism group attends a demonstration calling on the government to rescue the kidnapped girls of the government secondary school in Chibok, in Abuja, Nigeria. Nigeria's defense chief said Monday that the military has located nearly 300 school girls abducted by Islamic extremists but cannot use force to free them.
Abducted girls located ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s military has located nearly 300 school girls abducted by Islamic extremists but fears using force to try to free them could get them killed, the country’s chief of defense said Monday. Air Marshal Alex Badeh told demonstrators supporting the much criticized military that Nigerian troops can save the girls. But he added, “we can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” He spoke to thousands of demonstrators who marched to Defense Ministry headquarters in Abuja, the capital. Many were brought in on buses, indicating it was an organized event. Asked by reporters where they had found the girls, Badeh refused to elaborate. “We want our girls back. I can tell you we can do it. Our military can do it. But where they are held, can we go with force?” he asked the crowd. People roared back, “No!” “If we go with force what will happen?” Badeh asked. “They will die,” the demonstrators responded. That appeared to leave negotiation the sole option, but a human rights activist close to negotiators said a deal to swap the girls for detained Boko Haram members was agreed last week and then scuttled at the last President minute by Goodluck Jonathan. The activist who is close
to those mediating between Boko Haram extremists and government officials said the girls would have been freed last week Monday. Jonathan had already told British officials that he would not consider an exchange. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Nigeria’s military and government have faced national and international outrage over their failure to rescue the girls seized by Boko Haram militants from a remote northeastern school six weeks ago. President Jonathan was forced this month to accept international help. American planes have been searching for the girls and Britain, France, Israel and other countries have sent experts in surveillance and hostage negotiation. Defense A U.S. Department spokesman said the department cannot confirm the reports about the Nigerian girls at this point. The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the situation, spoke on background. Jonathan’s reluctance to accept offered help for weeks is seen as unwillingness to have outsiders looking in on what is considered a very corrupt force. Soldiers have told The Associated Press that they are not properly paid, are dumped in dangerous bush
with no supplies and that the Boko Haram extremists holding the girls are better equipped than they are. Some soldiers have said officers enriching themselves off the defense budget have no interest in halting the five-year-old uprising that has killed thousands. Soldiers near mutiny earlier this month fired on the car of a commanding officer come to pay his respects to the bodies of 12 soldiers who their colleagues said were unnecessarily killed by the insurgents in a night-time ambush. The military also is accused of killing thousands of detainees held illegally in their barracks, some by shooting, some by torture and many starved to death or asphyxiated in overcrowded cells. More than 300 teenagers were abducted from their school in the town Chibok on April 15. Police say 53 escaped on their own and 276 remain captive. A Boko Haram video has shown some of the girls reciting Quranic verses in Arabic and two of them explaining why they had converted from Christianity to Islam in captivity. Unverified reports have indicated two may have died of snake bites, that some have been forced to marry their abductors and that some may have been carried across borders into Chad and Cameroon.
Weapons inspectors attacked
The Associated Press
Former Thai Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang, center, walks after being detained by soldiers after a news conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand in Bangkok, Thailand, on Tuesday.
Thai troops detain gov’t minister who blasted coup BANGKOK (AP) — Armed troops detained a Thai Cabinet minister who defiantly emerged from hiding on Tuesday to condemn last week’s military coup and urge a return to civilian rule, in the first public appearance by any member of the ousted government. About half a dozen soldiers took Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang into custody in a chaotic scene at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand, where he had just finished giving a surprise news conference. The junta, which seized power Thursday, is already holding most top members of the Southeast Asian country’s elected administration and has ordered the rest to surrender. Chaturon called for elections and warned that resistance to the army overthrow could grow, which could lead to “a disaster for this country.” When the news conference was finished and Chaturon was being interviewed by a group of Thai journalists, soldiers entered the room, surrounded him, and escorted him out through a crowd of reporters. He was calm and smiling as
he was taken away. Before being hustled into an elevator, Chaturon said: “I’m not afraid. If I was afraid, I wouldn’t be here.” The military takeover, Thailand’s second in eight years, deposed an elected government that had insisted for months that the nation’s fragile democracy was under attack from protesters, the courts, and finally the army.
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A convoy of chemical weapons inspectors came under attack Tuesday while traveling to the site of a suspected chlorine gas attack in Syria, but all staff members were safe, the international watchdog agency said. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has been working with the United Nations to oversee the destruction of the Syrian government’s stockpiles since September 2013, when President Bashar administration Assad’s acknowledged it has chemical weapons and agreed to give them up to avoid the threat of U.S. military strikes. Syria has since destroyed or handed over more than 90 percent of the weapons and toxic chemicals it has formally declared. Its sole remaining declared stockpile has been packaged for shipment out of the country to meet a June 30 deadline for destruction.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — The Malaysian government on Tuesday released 45 pages of raw satellite data it used to determine that the missing jetliner crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, responding to demands for greater transparency by relatives of some of the 239 people on board. But at least one independent expert said his initial impression was that the communication logs didn’t include key assumptions, algorithms and metadata needed to validate the investigation team’s conclusions that the plane flew south after dropping off radar screens 90 minutes into the flight.
At least 30 killed in fighting in Ukraine DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — At least 30 bodies of killed fighters have been brought to a hospital following a day of heavy fighting in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, in which government forces used combat jets against proRussia rebels, an insurgent said Tuesday.

Pakistani woman stoned to death LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — A woman was stoned to death by her own family in front of a Pakistani high court on Tuesday for marrying the man she loved, police and a defense lawyer said. Nearly 20 members of the woman’s family, including her father and brothers, attacked her and her husband with batons and bricks in broad daylight before a crowd of onlookers in front of the high court of Lahore, said police official Naseem Butt. He said Farzana Parveen, 25, had married Mohammad Iqbal, with whom she had been engaged for years in opposition to her family.
NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting with the premier of rival Pakistan as well as other South Asian leaders on his first day on the job. In addition to sitting with Nawaz Sharif, Modi also has brief one-on-one meetings scheduled with leaders from Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Mauritius and Maldives.
Pro-military fervor at Egyptian polls CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s presidential election on Monday turned into a nationalist celebration at many polls with voters singing and dancing for the almost certain winner — former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who last year ousted the first freely elected president. But the first day of voting in the two-day election also illustrated the bitter divisions that have riven Egypt since the military’s removal of Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi. In towns where Islamists dominate, voting was often thin or non-existent.

the Eastside Lagoon for more natural degradation, ultimately heading out to a farmer’s field. “They (Dyer Partnership) found that there is a solution that is significantly cheaper,” Hossley said last week. “The sludge will be pumped, via pipe, from the new wastewater treatment plant over to wastewater treatment plant 1.” While it means about 4 miles of pipe will have to be put in the ground, the savings that it will bring are significant.
“That’s going to save us, probably, over the life of the project for the next 20 years, it will probably save the city and rate payers about $5 million.” There is also another $2 million in upfront construction costs that can be put to other uses as well. “It saves us money, and it is probably environmentally better because now we don’t have a truck hauling that stuff, we have it in the ground,” Hossley adds. “And we’ll have duplicate pipes in the ground, so if we have
problems with one we can move to the other.” While there will be some extra cutting into roads, it will be limited. He says the directional drilling procedure that they will use will help keep that to a minimum. Hossley says there are still some things that could tamper with the timeline, but the hope is that the design process will be completed by the end of the year. Construction could then begin by summer, 2015, with a completion of the project targeted for 2017.

The other part is Medicaid, and it has two components. First, the law allows states to expand Medicaid eligibility to people with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line, about $16,100 an individual. for

Preceding Obama to the microphone, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, himself a military veteran, noted this year’s remembrance came with the approaching 70th anniversary of America’s D-Day landing in Normandy, France.

Vicksburg Memorial Day parade was being accompanied by a wreath-laying ceremony at Vicksburg National Cemetery. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Brian McNeal, who is stationed at Suffolk, Virginia, joined those attending Fleet Week in New York City. “They made the sacrifice so everyday citizens don’t have to worry about the evils of the world,” he said. At Arlington, Obama was joined by first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, at the solemn ceremony across the Potomac River from White House on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The remembrance was for the war heroes of yesteryear as well as service-

Washington pays the entire cost for that group through 2016, gradually phasing down to a 90 percent share. About half the states have accepted the offer to expand coverage in this way. But whether or not a state expands Medicaid, all states are on the hook for a significantly bigger share of costs when it comes to people who Medicaid-eligible were under previous law. The federal government’s share for this group averages about 60 percent nationally. In California, it’s about a 50-50 split, so for each previously eligible resident who signs up, the state has to pony up half the cost. There could be many reasons why people didn’t sign up in the past. They may have simply
been unaware. Some may not have needed coverage. Others see a social stigma attached to the program for those with the lowest incomes. But now virtually everyone in the country is required to have coverage or risk fines. That’s more motivation to come forward. “It’s not a bad thing that we are opening a door that should have been open before,” said Judy Solomon of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, which advocates for the poor. The budget consequences are real. “Clearly we are going to need to do our best to make sure we are working within the budget we are given,” said Deidre Gifford, Rhode Island’s Medicaid director.

Beavers are the top seed BY STEVE GRESS Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — For the first time in school history, Oregon State is the No. 1 overall national seed in the NCAA baseball tournament and will have the opportunity to stay home until the College World Series should the Beavers stay alive. The Beavers, despite losing three of their last four games and four of seven overall, received the top seed ahead of No. 2 Florida, No. 3 Virginia, No. 4 Indiana, No. 5 Florida State, No. 6 LouisianaLafayette, No. 7 TCU and No. 8 LSU. “It’s really special to be No. 1 for our players,” coach Pat Casey said. “It’s a long haul. Hopefully it rejuvenates them a little bit and gets them going a little bit.” There was some concern the Beavers, who entered the final week of the regular season No. 1 but stumbled, might fall. But the Beavers had a strong case with a high RPI (fifth) and won the Pac-12 Conference title outright. While Indiana won the Big Ten, Florida, Virginia and Florida State all failed to win their conference titles. “You could have taken any of those clubs and found a reason to award them a No. 1 seed and we’re one of those clubs,” Casey said. “I think we were good from start to finish.” The initial reaction of the players when they saw the announcement on TV in the club level of Reser Stadium Monday morning was a bit subdued. But that in no way meant they weren’t excited — they just know there are no guarantees based on seeding. “That’s exciting and we’re happy about it but it doesn’t mean much if we don’t take care of business,” junior left fielder Michael Conforto said. “We understand that we have a lot of work to do this week. We know everybody in the postseason is very, very good. “We have to be ready for whatever might happen and we’re going to make sure we’re ready for it.” With a roster bolstered by a strong pitching staff and several key offensive players, many expected when the season began for the Beavers to once again be in the hunt for a national seed. The Beavers didn’t focus on that, however. “I don’t know if we expected anything we just wanted to play hard and see where it took us,” junior right fielder Dylan Davis said. “Fortunately enough it took us to the No. 1 national seed which is awesome. “It’s huge being in that spot and showing us our hard work the entire year has paid off.” First up for Oregon State (4212) is the four-team Corvallis Regional this weekend. The Beavers open the tournament against regional No. 4 seed North Dakota State (25-24) at 8 p.m. on Friday. North Dakota State is in the Division I tournament for the first time ever and in the postseason for the first time since 1969. Also coming to Corvallis will be No. 2 seed UNLV (35-23) and No. 3 seed UC Irvine (35-22). Those two teams will meet at 2 p.m. Big West Commissioner Dennis Farrell, the committee chairman, said UC Irvine was one of the last four at-large teams to make the tournament. While the Beavers are a heavy favorite to advance, the players know they can’t look past any team, even a North Dakota State squad that won the Summit League and is barely over .500. “You just have to realize it’s a new season,” Davis said. “At this point everybody is 0-0 and everybody can beat everybody. There are 64 teams left and they’re all great teams. We have to come out and compete, play as hard as we can and let everything fall as it may.” It starts with Friday night. “We’ve got to come out and take care of business (in the opener) and that really sets us up for the rest of the weekend,” senior pitcher Ben Wetzler said. “That’s our No. 1 goal right now.” The Corvallis Regional is matched with the Stillwater Regional for the super regionals.

Bulldogs open with familiar foe BY JOHN GUNTHER
Playoffs
The World Wednesday Games
NORTH BEND — North Bend’s baseball players had a working holiday Monday. While they didn’t have school, because of Memorial Day, they did have practice. And if you’re practicing on Memorial Day, that means you’re in the playoffs. “I absolutely love it,” said North Bend senior Hunter Jackson. “It’s my last year here. I want to make it as far as we can.” The Bulldogs host Newport at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Clyde Allen Field, embarking on what they hope will be a two-week playoff run. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students. The Cubs will be a familiar foe for North Bend. The teams have gotten to know each other well over the years, and this year met twice — both won by the Cubs. Newport beat North Bend 8-5 early in the year during the Cubs’ home tournament. Then when the teams met at Clyde Allen Field,

Newport used a pair of grand slams — by Tyler Dordan and Robbie Bellamy, as the catalysts for a 14-7 victory. While those games weigh some on the minds of the players, they also know North Bend is a much different team now.
“It’s not a factor anymore because of how much we’ve progressed this year,” Jackson said. The latter game was North Bend’s seventh straight loss to start the season. The Bulldogs then went 17-1 in the Far West League, the lone blemish a loss at Siuslaw. “We’re a team that had a lot of room for us to grow,” North Bend coach Brad Horning said. “Obviously, we’ve done that. “We’ve gotten better in all aspects of the game. We’ve challenged ourselves with the preseason schedule we played.” North Bend’s other preseason losses were to Molalla, Gladstone, Hidden Valley (twice) and Class 5A Churchill. Hidden Valley is among the final 16 teams in the Class 4A bracket. Gladstone lost in the play-in round to Mazama. Churchill finished second in the Midwestern League. Once the Bulldogs got to league play and swept South Umpqua, the team’s confidence grew with each successive victory. SEE BULLDOGS | B2
Pirates return to metro area for playoffs BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
COOS BAY — Things should look familiar for Marshfield’s softball players during their bus ride for their first-round game in the Class 4A playoffs Wednesday. The Pirates face Gladstone, just a few miles from La Salle Prep, the team they knocked off Thursday in the play-in round to reach the final 16-team bracket. The Gladiators were champions and La Salle Prep runners-up in the Tri-Valley League. “We’re happy to be going to Gladstone,” Marshfield coach Brooke Toy said, comparing the Gladiators to the Falcons. “They’re very similar teams. They played each other closely throughout the season.” Gladstone won all three games, but by a combined total of just five runs. Marshfield edged La Salle Prep 2-1, with freshman pitcher Mackenzie Johnson getting out of a two-on jam in the seventh inning, with help from her teammates. “They played some stellar defense,” Toy said. “This whole

Marshfield’s Katelyn Rossback runs safely to second base before Siuslaw’s Alex Opitz can tag her during a game in early April. second half of the season, their defense has picked up.”
That will be one vital component in Wednesday’s game with
Gladstone. The other will be finding some offense. “Hopefully we can hit off their pitcher,” Toy said. “If we hit and get on base, we’re pretty deadly on the bases. “If we can at least get our bat on the ball, we can make things happen.” Putting the ball in play puts pressure on the opponent to make plays. One of Marshfield’s runs Thursday came when La Salle Prep threw the ball away trying to throw a batter out at first after a sacrifice bunt. The Pirates certainly have gained momentum from a strong second half of the season, including when they swept Far West League champion South Umpqua and got several runs off Lancers ace Kyrstan Cook, who earlier nohit Marshfield. “Everyone hit off that South Umpqua pitcher,” Marshfield’s Jade Chavez said. “We can hit off anybody in the state. “If we can get on base, we’re a pretty quick team.” The Pirates have scored at least six runs in all but two of their past 10 games.

Miami grabs 3-1 series lead over Indiana MIAMI (AP) — The stat sheet from Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals told quite a story. It said Miami never trailed, that Indiana’s All-Star center failed to contribute a single point, that the night’s two leading scorers were wearing Heat uniforms and that the Pacers committed twice as many turnovers as they forced. Paul George apparently saw something else. “We outplayed them,” the Indiana star said, adding, “They won this game at the free-throw line.”
With that, the storyline surrounding this series went from revolving around something an Indiana player said to, well, revolving around something else an Indiana player said. Almost overlooked amid all the dramatics: For Miami, what would be a historic fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals is now just one win away. LeBron James had 32 points and 10 rebounds, Chris Bosh added 25 points — nearly matching his output from the first three games of the series combined — and the Heat grabbed total control
of the East title series by topping the Indiana Pacers 102-90 Monday night. The Heat lead the series 3-1, with Game 5 in Indianapolis on Wednesday night. “I’m motivated enough to try to get back to the Finals,” James said. “That’s motivating enough.” George scored 23 points and David West finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana, which has dropped the last three games in the series. Other than those two stat lines, it was a largely forgettable night on the floor for the Pacers, and might have gotten worse off the floor.
Lance Stephenson, who acknowledged that he was trying to get inside James’ head before Game 4 and said the four-time NBA MVP was showing a sign of “weakness” by engaging with him during games, was scoreless until the third quarter. Roy Hibbert went scoreless, the first time in 36 appearances against Miami that he’s failed to get a point, that donut coming after he averaged 18.3 points per game against the Heat in his last 15 matchups dating to last season.

Sports Pletcher takes lead in trainer earnings
The Associated Press
Boston’s David Ortiz, right, celebrates with Xander Bogaerts after hitting a two-run homer during the fifth inning Monday.
NEW YORK (AP) — Todd Pletcher became thoroughbred racing’s leading money winning trainer when Jack Milton rallied from last to win the $300,000 Poker Stakes on Monday at Belmont Park. Pletcher’s runners have won $268,502,284. He moved past D. Wayne Lukas, Pletcher’s former mentor, who is now second with $268,467,262. Quarterhorse earnings by Lukas are not included in the figures. “I think it’s a product of inflation to be honest, and I don’t think anyone is going to match Wayne’s accomplishments in the business,” Pletcher said. “That said, it’s still a satisfying milestone for the team, and a
Boston beats Braves to end slump BULLDOGS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — David Ortiz homered and drove in four runs as the Boston Red Sox ended their 10-game losing streak, rallying from a five-run deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves 8-6 Monday. The defending World Series champions trailed 6-1 after the fourth inning of the interleague matchup, with starter Clay Buchholz walking a career-high eight in only three-plus innings. But Ortiz tied it by hitting a threerun homer off Ervin Santana in the fifth. MLB With Red Sox fans at Turner Field chantiRecap ng “Papi! Papi!” the World Series MVP then gave Boston the lead with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly off Ian Thomas (1-2) in the seventh. Following pregame declarations of confidence from manager John Farrell and general manager Ben Cherington, the Red Sox came back to end their worst skid since an 11-game slide in 1994. Yankees 6, Cardinals 4, 12 innings: Brian Roberts hit a tiebreaking single in a three-run 12th inning after Brett Gardner’s leaping catch at the left-field fence kept New York alive in the 11th. Pinch-hitter Alfonso Soriano and Brendan Ryan each added an RBI for the Yankees, who took the opener of a three-game interleague series for their third straight win. A standing-room crowd of 47,311, the third-largest at 9-year-old Busch Stadium, showed up to see an opponent making only its second appearance in St. Louis since losing to the Cardinals in the 1964 World Series. Orioles 7, Brewers 6, 10 innings: Jonathan Schoop hit two home runs and newly acquired Nick Hundley singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning to lift Baltimore to victory in the interleague contest. Down 6-4 with two outs in the ninth, the Orioles rallied off Milwaukee closer Francisco Rodriguez. Schoop’s second homer cut it to one. After pinchhitter Delmon Young singled, Nick Markakis hit a game-tying double. With two outs in the 10th, J.J. Hardy doubled off Rob Wooten (1-2) and scored on Hundley’s single.
NATIONAL LEAGUE Dodgers 4, Reds 3: Hyun-Jin Ryu took a perfect game into the eighth inning — one day after teammate Josh Beckett threw a no-hitter — and Los Angeles held on to beat Cincinnati. The Reds hit only three balls out of the infield before Todd Frazier’s leadoff double in the eighth. That followed a three-run seventh by the Dodgers in which Ryu ran the bases and scored. The left-hander from South Korea came close to making the Dodgers the first team in major league history with consecutive no-hitters. Beckett won 60 in Philadelphia on Sunday. Cincinnati scored three times in the eighth, but right fielder Yasiel Puig made a key defensive play when he cut off Billy Hamilton’s two-run double in the gap. The relay home held Skip Schumaker at third, and Kenley Jansen struck out Brandon Phillips with the bases loaded to preserve a 4-3 lead. Jansen also worked the ninth, retiring Devin Mesoraco with two on for his 15th save. Cubs 8, Giants 4: Jeff Samardzija struck out a season-high 10 for his first win since last August, snapping a 16start winless streak for Chicago. The right-hander (1-4) entered with six no-decisions in his first 10 outings this year despite leading the majors with a 1.46 ERA. Pirates 5, Mets 3: Gaby Sanchez tagged the Mets again, hitting a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning and a pinch-hit homer in the eighth that sparked Pittsburgh’s come-frombehind victory. The Mets announced after the game that they had fired hitting coach Dave Hudgens. They also cut reliever Jose Valverde, who gave up Sanchez’s goahead hit. Valverde (1-1) was booed off the field after allowing pinch-hitter Jose Tabata’s tying single in the eighth. Valverde returned for the ninth and was even worse. The 57-year-old Hudgens was in his fourth season as the Mets’ hitting coach. The Mets began the day with a .237 batting average, ranking among the worst in the majors. Marlins 3, Nationals 2: Giancarlo Stanton hit his NL-leading 15th home run and also doubled and singled in his
latest power performance for Miami at Nationals Park. Stanton is hitting .333 (43 for 129) with 14 home runs and 27 RBIs in Washington since his career began in 2010. Phillies 9, Rockies 0: Ryan Howard had five RBIs and Kyle Kendrick (1-5) pitched into the seventh inning to snap his 10-game losing streak for Philadelphia. Diamondbacks 7, Padres 5: A.J. Pollock hit a two-run homer on the first pitch he saw with two outs in the ninth inning to give Arizona a victory over San Diego.
AMERICAN LEAGUE Blue Jays 10, Rays 5: Edwin Encarnacion hit his 13th home run in May, Dioner Navarro and Steve Tolleson added back-to-back shots and the Toronto Blue Jays won their seventh straight game Monday. Athletics 10, Tigers 0: Kyle Blanks homered in his home debut at the Coliseum and Derek Norris capped Oakland’s five-homer day with a grand slam and the Athletics snapped a season-long four-game losing streak with a win over Detroit. Yoenis Cespedes, Brandon Moss and Josh Donaldson also homered. Astros 9, Royals 2: George Springer homered in his fourth straight game and went 4-for-4 with three RBIs and scored five runs in Houston’s victory over Kansas City. Springer led off the eighth with a home run off Louis Coleman, his fifth homer in four games. He is the first Houston rookie to homer in four straight games. Springer also had two doubles and became the first Astro to score five runs in a game since Cody Ransom on Sept. 24, 2007. Mariners 5, Angels 1: Chris Young pitched shutout ball until Albert Pujols homered in the seventh inning, Robinson Cano had three hits and two RBIs to raise his average to .332, and Seattle beat the Los Angeles Angels. White Sox 6, Indians 2: Conor Gillaspie hit three doubles while going 4-for-4, Dayan Viciedo had a three-run homer and Chicago beat Cleveland. Rangers 7, Twins 2: Nick Tepesch won his second consecutive start, Elvis Andrus and Chris Gimenez each had two RBIs, and the Texas Rangers beat Minnesota.
PLAYOFFS From Page B1 Pacers coach Frank Vogel got a technical foul in the third quarter, plus appeared to move toward Shane Battier as the Miami veteran took a 3-pointer from near the Indiana bench in the first quarter. “We got outplayed by the Heat,” Vogel said. “I wasn’t disappointed in our fight. I was disappointed in the result.” Then came the headline-grabber, when George arrived in the interview area and blamed the officiating for the Indiana loss. Miami was 30 of 34 from the line; Indiana was 11 of 17, something that got George to use words like “demoralizing” and “lopsided.” “You can’t tell me we don’t attack the basket as much as they attack the basket,” George said. “You can’t tell me we’re not aggressive. Maybe we’re too aggressive. But I feel like we’re just as aggressive as they are attacking the basket and making plays at the rim. Maybe this was just home cooking.” Not everyone in the Indiana locker room agreed. “You can’t blame it on the refs,” veteran Luis Scola said, “when you lose by double digits.” They could blame Bosh, because he was the one who got the two-time defending NBA champions going. Bosh scored the game’s first eight points, making a pair of 3-pointers and ending a series-long funk. He had scored exactly nine points in each of the first three games of these East finals and was held under 10 points in each of his last seven playoff games against Indiana. But he came out flying, and probably
From Page B1 “We knew we were a good team,” Jackson said. “Five of those seven games (in the preseason), we could have won.” Part of the preseason challenge was new players stepping up from the junior varsity squad last year or stepping into new varsity roles. Tylan Corder, Jon Bennison and Zach Inskeep were the only returning regulars to the batting order, Horning said. But others filled in the gaps, including Marshall Rice, Jared Hampel, Willie Mahr, Tyler Laskey, Zach Hackney and Coy Woods. They have helped make the Bulldogs potent up and down the lineup, which is invaluable in a tight game. Meanwhile, North Bend’s pitching also has become an asset. Bennison was the only returning starter from last year, though Jackson would have been if he had not battled injuries. Corder also pitched some last year, and has filled the role of closer this spring, while Garrett McCoy has stepped up as another capable arm. That depth proved vital when North Bend twice had five league games in a week — to start and end the league season. The Bulldogs won all 10 of those games. The team’s defense also
PIRATES From Page B1 Marshfield likely will need better hitting than the Pirates got against La Salle Prep. “We didn’t hit like we wanted to, but we definitely played the defense we needed to,” Marshfield’s Katelyn Rossback said. Even though they were on the road, the Pirates played with confidence, Chavez said. “We knew we could beat them,” she said. “Even though the game was so close, we kept believing we could beat them.” The team’s confidence grew as it won its final seven Far West League games, then beat Coquille to get a boost in the power rankings and earn a spot in the play-in round. “We realized we had a lot more potential, especially on

Indiana guard George Hill, left, and Miami guard Dwyane Wade fight over a loose ball during the first half Monday. not coincidentally, the Heat finally had a good start. “You always want to see your first shot go in, or the first couple of shots, or at least get some open looks and try to really change your luck a little bit,” Bosh said. “I was able to do that, and that helped me just be aggressive as the game went on. I kind of put the cerebral stuff to bed. I’m really not thinking too much anymore and just going out and playing.” The Pacers trailed only 49-44 at
halftime — even though Hibbert and Stephenson both had three fouls, the Heat didn’t have a turnover until the second quarter, Miami shot 10 more free throws in the half, and Bosh and James combined for 32 points in the first 24 minutes. If there was any doubt, Miami erased it quickly after halftime. James scored five points in a 7-0 spurt to open the second half, and the Heat were on their way. “They’re the best offensive team in the NBA,” Vogel said.
Host Oklahoma State will open with Binghamton while No. 3 seed Cal State Fullerton takes on No. 2 seed Nebraska. OSU was the No. 3 national seed last season and advanced to the College World Series. The Beavers have hosted a super regional four times and have advanced to the CWS each time. The Beavers, who are in the postseason for the 15th time and sixth straight season, a program record, have been nearly unbeatable at home in the postseason. OSU is 12-0 at home in regional play under the current format, having swept in 2005, 2006, 2011 and 2013.
record to be proud of.” Jack Milton earned $180,000 to put Pletcher over the top. A 4-year-old colt, Jack Milton beat Big 3 Screen by 2 ⁄4 lengths for his fourth win in 10 starts. Javier Castellano was aboard for the one mile on the firm turf in 1:33.09. Jack Milton paid $7.70, $4.10 and $2.20. Big Screen returned $9.20 and $3.40 while Za Approval paid $2.10 as the 4-5 favorite. The Poker was the third stakes win for Pletcher on Monday at Belmont. He earlier captured the $196,000 Pennine Ridge Stakes for 3-year-olds on the turf with Gala Award, and the $100,000 Jersey Girl for 3year-old fillies with Red Velvet.
improved throughout the season. Asked to quantify North Bend’s improvement, Jackson said, “The only word I could use is exponentially.” All the new players stepped up in their own ways to join veterans Corder, Bennison, Inskeep and Jackson. “Besides us four players, the rest are last year’s JV team,” Jackson said. Jackson, Corder, Hackney and Austin Cleveland are North Bend’s only seniors. Now with 26 games under their belts, all the players are veterans. “I think we’re all more confident,” Corder said. “I think we’re kind of glad we’ve got another shot against Newport. I think we’re ready for them.” One key, Jackson said, will be pitching to the heart of Newport’s lineup, including Dordan,Bellamy and Jace Duty. “We have to play solid defense and keep their No. 3, 4 and 7 (hitters) out of the air,” he said. The Bulldogs also hope to get a boost playing at home. “I think there will be a great crowd,” Corder said. North Bend enters the playoffs 17-9. Newport is 158, but lost four of its last five league games before beating Siuslaw 6-1 in the play-in round last week. The winner of Wednesday’s game faces either top-ranked Sisters or Mazama in the quarterfinals Friday.
defense and at the plate,” Rossback said. Gladstone is a lofty foe, the Gladiators’ only loss coming to Hood River Valley on April 1. But the Pirates have the momentum of their ninegame win streak, including the biggest win yet Thursday. “They were so excited,” Toy said. “Nobody didn’t have a smile on their face. “Then we saw all the La Salle girls with sad faces, and we said we didn’t want that to be us.” If Marshfield beats Gladstone, the Pirates would face either Elmira or Ridgeview in the quarterfinals. The Pirates, who are ranked 14th, would be on the road against either foe. Wednesday’s game begins at 5 p.m. It will be broadcast on the radio in the Bay Area by KMHS (1420 AM). Overall, the Beavers are 23-4 all-time at home in the postseason. “We have a great crowd,” Casey said. “I think it’s one of the best places in the country to watch a game. I think if we expanded it and had another 2,000 seats we’d have another 2,000 people there. It’s a wonderful place to play and our guys usually respond well at home.” Added Wetzler: “We have the best fans in the country and for (teams) to come out here it’s going to be tough for them and we’ve got to embrace that and go have fun with it.” Oregon, meanwhile, is headed to Nashville, Tenn., as part of a regional hosted by Vanderbilt. The Ducks (42-18) are the No. 2 seed for the regional and open against Clemson (36-23) at 10 a.m. Vanderbilt (41-18) hosts Xavier (29-27) in the second game at 5 p.m.

Australian Open champions lose early in Paris Li Na, Wawrinka both exit early from the French Open ■
PARIS (AP) — Another day on the clay at the French Open, another reigning Australian Open champion bites the red dust. Li Na lost her first Grand Slam match since winning the title in Melbourne, falling to Kristina Mladenovic of France 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 today. The loss came a day after men’s Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka was eliminated in the first round. This is the first time at any Grand Slam tournament that the men’s and women’s singles champions from the previous major lost in the first round. The last reigning Australian Open women’s champion to lose in the first round at the French Open was Lindsay Davenport in 2000.
On Monday, Wawrinka lost to 41st-ranked Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-0. Li, who won the French Open title in 2011 and is seeded second this year, ended up with 37 unforced errors on a cool and overcast day at Roland Garros. Mladenovic had only 25 errors. “Nobody say if you (are) No. 2 in the world you have to win all the matches. I mean, this is tennis,” Li said. “I think doesn’t matter who plays today against me, I always lose the match today, because I don’t think she ... put a lot of pressure (on) me. I think today just I gave it away.” In 2011, Li became the first Chinese player to win a Grand Slam title. But today, she said she wasn’t feeling quite like her usual self. “I don’t think I’m doing well. If I doing well, I believe I still can win the match if it’s

Kristina Mladenovic celebrates after she defeats Li Na during their firstround match at the French Open today. not my best day,” Li said. “But I don’t think today I try a lot.” Mladenovic began the day 1-5 at the French Open. She reached the second round last year after four straight first-round exits, including a loss to Li in 2010 in their only
previous meeting. “You don’t beat Li Na every day,” Mladenovic said. “It means really a lot, especially in Grand Slam.” Earlier, fourth-seeded Simona Halep made it through to the second round while Japanese veteran
Kimiko Date-Krumm didn’t. Halep won 11 straight games at the start and beat Alisa Kleybanova of Russia 6-0, 6-2. Date-Krumm, the oldest woman in the field at 43, had an up-and-down match against 24th-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, eventually losing 6-3, 0-6, 6-2. Date-Krumm is the third oldest player in French Open singles history; Martina Navratilova was 47 in 2004. She made her main-draw debut at Roland Garros in 1989 — before more than half of this year’s women’s field was even born. Others advancing included No. 6 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, No. 11 Ana Ivanovic of Serbia, No. 15 Sloane Stephens of the United States, No. 27 Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia and No. 26 Sorana Cirstea of Romania. In the men’s tournament,
11th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov lost to Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (4). Two other seeded men retired from their matches and were eliminated, No. 16 Tommy Haas of Germany and No. 21 Nicolas Almagro of Spain. Former top-ranked player Lleyton Hewitt also lost. But No. 5 David Ferrer of Spain, No. 12 Richard Gasquet of France, No. 19 Kevin Anderson of South Africa, No. 28 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany and No. 32 Andreas Seppi of Italy all won. Eight-time champion Rafael Nadal easily won his opener Monday, 6-0, 6-3, 60 over American Robby Ginepri. Novak Djokovic started with a 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 win over Joao Sousa of Portugal. Among the women, 2012 champion Maria Sharapova and 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova both advanced.

Shrimp tacos in less time than takeout pizza BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press What I really wanted was pizza. But I was too lazy to drive down to the pizza shop to get it, and they only deliver if you order $40 or more. And as much as I like pizza, that’s a lot of pizza. So I needed a dinner that was equally comforting, equally flavorful, but required even less effort and time than heading into town. My inspiration? Well, aside from the pizza I wasn’t having, that is... A 1-pound bag of frozen raw shrimp. I firmly believe that if you like shrimp, you
should always have a few bags of them in the freezer. They thaw quickly, and cook even more quickly. As in minutes. I decided to convert my bag into sweet-and-tangy shrimp tacos, a good eat-with-your-hands sort of comfort food that would come together with minimal fuss. Aside from the cooking of the shrimp, use this recipe just as a guide. I like to top my tacos with soft goat cheese and avocado, but use whatever you like. Ditto for the flour tortillas; corn would be fine, too. Or if you really want, take all the same ingredients and dump The Associated Press

Bourbon belongs in BBQ sauce BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Simply put, bourbon belongs in barbecue sauce. Bourbon, by definition (at least in the U.S.), is distilled from a grain mixture that must be at least 51 percent corn. And corn is naturally sweet. So of course bourbon makes a wonderful base for a sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce. It lends deep richness and combines wonderfully with so many of the sweet and bold flavors we associate with a great barbecue sauce. So that was my inspiration for this recipe — to create an amazing bourbonbased barbecue sauce. But as I researched recipes, I was disappointed to find that so few bourbon barbecue sauces play up the bourbon. 1 Most add just ⁄4 cup, or per1 haps ⁄2 cup at most. I wanted more bourbon flavor, so I went with 1 cup. For sweetness, I used equal parts maple syrup and brown sugar, both of which have the same rich caramel notes for which bourbon is known. Add some soy sauce for saltiness, some cider vinegar for acid and a bit of Frank's Red Hot sauce for
bite, and we're off to a great sauce. This sauce would be delicious on any grilled meat, particularly chicken or ribs. But I decided to slather it on shrimp. The briny notes of the shrimp just bring out the delicious sweetness of the sauce.
MAPLE-BOURBON BARBECUE GRILLED SHRIMP WITH COUSCOUS
Start to finish: 30 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 2 ⁄2 cups water Kosher salt 12 ounces Israeli (large pearl) couscous 1 medium English cucumber, diced 1 ⁄2 small red onion, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon olive oil Juice of 1 lemon 2 pounds extra-jumbo raw shrimp, peeled 1 ⁄2 cup maple-bourbon barbecue sauce (see recipe below) 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the couscous is plumped and tender and all of the water is absorbed. When the couscous is done, transfer to a medium bowl. Set in the refrigerator to cool for about 15 minutes. Once the couscous has cooled, add the cucumber, onion, garlic and cilantro. Toss well, then drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Toss, season with salt, if needed, then divide between 6 serving plates. Coat the grill grates with oil or cooking spray, then heat the grill to mediumhigh. Thread the shrimp onto bamboo skewers, about 6 to 7 shrimp per skewer. Use a pastry brush to lightly baste the shrimp with half of the barbecue sauce.

growth in the variety of produce sold at them. Heirloom tomatoes and carrots in funky colors? That’s just the start. Think rainbow-spectrum radishes, unusual peas, beans and legumes; gooseberries and quince. But trying something new — whether it’s an unfamiliar vegetable or an exotic prepabe — can ration intimidating. The best advice is to start slow. If you like arugula, branch out to watercress. In baby form, it’s a perfect salad green, a sturdier, even more peppery alternative to the more ubiquitous arugula. It also makes a stellar pesto, says Diana Henry, author most recently of the cookbook “A Change of Appetite” (Octopus Publishing, 2014).

Pappy BBQ took fourth place and Smokin’ Leukemia won. In ribs, Lake House BBQ of Everett, Wash., the defending overall champion, finished sixth, Elkhorn BBQ (whom we featured in this spot last week) was third and Maddog’s BBQ won. In pulled pork, Maddog’s was eighth, Pepper Pappy was fourth and Movin The Chains won. In brisket, Maddog’s was eighth and Duelin J won for the second year in a row. Britton, wearing his trademark chef’s hat with peppers on it to the awards ceremony said he was very happy with his two fourthplace finishes.
“I feel pretty lucky,” he said. His chicken entry ended a series of frustrating results. “The last two contests, I had scoring in the 8’s and 9’s, but one judge gave me 5 and 6’s that killed my chances two years in a row. “I feel much better about it.” While the cooking is always phenomenal, there’s a part of the competition that very few see, but the competitors take very seriously. “In every competition there is a charity component,” said Pat Maddock of Maddog’s BBQ. He explained that a por-
tion of each BBQ Bucks ticket goes to charity and on Saturday night, the competitors cooked an extra pork butt or two that was given to Oregon Coast Community Action to help feed the hungry. In all, it was announced that 300 pounds of barbecue had been donated on Sunday. He also recently went to Oso, Wash., site of the giant landslide, with a group of barbecue cooks and whipped up meals for the searchers, the FEMA workers and some of the families who were still waiting on word about their loved ones. He said it was quite an experience.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2014 As you go forward this year, your ability to trust in your capabilities will make it easier to approach others. If you state your needs in a straightforward manner, options will open up for you. Your increasing confidence and maturity will help you get what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Be resolute in showing your friends and family what is expected of them and what you will do in return. Until you deal with the problems at home, they will keep growing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may not be getting the whole picture. Don’t make a decision until all the information is available. Get the facts first. A hasty choice could cost you down the road. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may see yourself heading toward adopting a different lifestyle. Find out all you can about the changes you are considering by attending a seminar relevant to your tastes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t be pressured into spending money on an unknown or questionable cause. You work too hard to lose your cash on someone else’s whim. Say no, and be firm. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Support will be yours, with people freely offering assistance that will enable you to reach your goals. You will be able to breeze through any and all assignments that come your way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The creativity that has benefited your financial situation can be put to good use helping others. Offer your assistance, but be wary of taking on too many ventures at once. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Partnerships and cooperative efforts will take a lot of your energy. Don’t act in haste. It will require patience on your part to make things happen favorably. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Go over your projects with a fine-toothed comb before you present what you have to offer. You risk failure and disappointment if you let some careless mistake slip through your guard. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Try brainstorming with friends who share your concerns and interests. A profitable venture can be yours if you are able to sell your plan to the right individual or organization. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Make sure that you are prepared for anything that comes along. You may have to make some adjustments to your original plans, but if you are flexible, you will achieve your goal. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You will be able to take advantage of any situation that comes your way. Friends and colleagues will be impressed by your abilities, and you will gain respect and support. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your intuition is very sharp. Have faith in what you do. Stick to your game plan and don’t be led astray by false promises. Follow your heart.

We are looking at situations in which third hand should or should not follow the “third-hand high� mantra. Which is right here? South is in four hearts. West leads a fourth-highest diamond two. After dummy plays low, should East put in his nine or rise with the king? North knew that his hand was a tad strong for a four-heart “weak freak� raise, but he knew that it was unlikely his side had a slam, and he was worried that the opponents might be able to do well in spades.

East should work out who has what in diamonds. He knows that South has the ace, because West would not have led a diamond away from the ace. And South presumably has three diamonds. West probably has the queen, and might have the 10 as well. (If West had started with 10high diamonds, he likely would have led from a stronger suit.) However, the key point is that if East plays his king, declarer must get two diamond tricks: his ace and, later, dummy’s jack. But if East puts in his nine, perhaps he can hold South to one diamond winner. Yes, West will be momentarily misled about the diamond position, but East will clarify when in with his heart king, cashing the diamond king and playing another round of the suit. You can see that in this layout, playing the diamond nine is critical. It allows the defenders to take one heart, two diamonds and one club. The usual rule is: When dummy has one honor, third hand holds a higher honor, and dummy plays low, third hand saves his honor when he can insert a nine or higher.
