NORTH BEND — Pack up your classrooms, Lighthouse School, it’s time to move.

The North Bend school board voted unanimously Monday night to accept the Coos County Airport District board’s offer for Lighthouse School to lease the former ACS/Xerox call center.

The airport district board extended the offer to the K-8 charter school last week.

Lighthouse will lease the building for $11,000 a month for 10 years.

If the school loses its charter in five years, the school district has guaranteed it will foot the bill for the remaining five years of the agreement.

The airport district board also offered to remodel the building and bring it up to code for up to $500,000. The school will have to pay for anything above that.

“This is one of those decisions that’s going to be fraught with controversy no matter which way we go,” school board chair Megan Jacquot said.

Public input sought CB sets meetings to discuss needed upgrades to wastewater facility and streets

COOS BAY — A U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday morning could determine the fate of a controversial memorial cross in Coos Bay’s Mingus Park.

In the case of Greece, New York v. Galloway, et. al; the court ruled that Christian prayer at the beginning of public meetings did not violate the establishment clause of the Constitution.

The Coos Bay City Council had cited the then-pending case in delaying action regarding the Mingus Park Vietnam War Memorial Cross.

The cross has been the subject of controversy since early 2013, when the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent the city a letter demanding the removal of the cross.

The city also received a similar complaint from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The controversy worsened when improvised explosive devices were planted at the memorial and a public-access chapel downtown, sparking an FBI investigation.

The Supreme Court case did not directly address the question of physical monuments with religious symbolism, but it did reject the theory that legislative acts of prayer must be nonsectarian.

Whether the memorial would constitute “legislative prayer” would likely have to be decided by a higher court.

Following the legal complaints, the city retained the Texas-based Liberty Institute to conduct a legal assessment of the cross.

The results of the assessment were provided to the council in executive session in June 2013.

Coos Bay City Attorney Nathan McClintock responded to The World’s public records request for the results in writing, saying all except the institute’s initial email to the city was exempt from disclosure under attorney-client privilege.

Discussion of the memorial does not appear on current agendas for the city council meeting scheduled for May 6.

City Manager Roger Craddock did not return a call for comment Monday.

The packets will be given to future kindergarten students who register for Blossom Gulch and Madison elementary schools during registration May 15. They will have information on kindergarten, and some sheets to work on over the summer, such as learning some letters and what to expect in school. There is also some school supplies and a book in each bag.

Two pencils are included in each of the 300 kindergarten packets that will be given out during registration.

This box contains hundreds of pencils ready to be stuffed into the bags Monday afternoon in the school district offices.

for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present,” the report says. “Corn producers in Iowa, oyster growers in Washington state and maple syrup producers in Vermont are all observing climate-related changes that are outside of recent experience.”

The report looks at regional and state-level effects of global warming, compared with recent reports from the United Nations that lumped all of North America together. A draft of the report was released in January 2013, but this version has been reviewed by more scientists, the National Academy of Science and 13 government agencies and had public comment. It is written in a bit more simple language so people could realize “that there’s a new source of risk in their lives,” said study lead author Gary Yohe of Wesleyan University in Connecticut.

COOS BAY — Some expensive upgrades are on the way for Coos Bay, and the city is giving its residents the opportunity to discuss how they would like to pay for that work.

Two meetings are scheduled for next week, May 13 and 14, to give the public its chance to be heard.

Some bitter medicine is on the way and the city hopes it will be easier to take if the residents have a better understanding of the situation; and can contribute to the solution.

“We must upgrade our wastewater treatment capacity, and that means raising sewer fees,” Mayor Crystal Shoji explained. “We also

WASHINGTON — Global warming is rapidly turning America the beautiful into America the stormy, sneezy and dangerous, according to a new federal scientific report. And those shining seas? Rising and costly, the report says.

Climate change’s assorted harms “are expected to become increasingly disruptive across the nation throughout this century and beyond,” the National Climate Assessment concluded Tuesday. The report emphasizes how warming and its all-too-wild weather are changing daily lives, even using the phrase “climate disruption” as another way of saying global warming.

Still, it’s not too late to prevent the worst of climate change, says the 840-page report, which the White House is highlighting as it tries to jump-start often stalled efforts to curb heattrapping gases.

However, if the nation and the world don’t change the way they use energy, “we’re still on

WINCHESTER BAY — of Valor The Quilts honored Foundation Vietnam veteran Robert Bennett on Saturday at a ceremony near the Umpqua River Lighthouse.

The event started with a color guard from Station Umpqua River of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Pastor Kyle Busnepz was on hand to offer a prayer. in Heaven,” “Father Busnepz prayed, “We thank you so much for the sacrifice that has been offered, Lord, on behalf of our nation, and may I ask for your blessing on him and encouragement for him, today.”

He also thanked the quilters who created the special quilt presented to Bennett and his family, who gathered

behalf of the Quilts of Valor Foundation ... on May 3, 2014, in Winchester Bay.” Sanford said the quilt made quite a trip to get to Winchester Bay. The local quilters sent it to Medford to the coordinator there. It was then shipped to Eugene.

Sanford picked it up in Eugene to get it to the ceremony.

“Obviously, it was meant for Robert from the very beginning.” she said.

An onlooker reminded Bennett of an old saying.

“A blanket warms the body,” he said, “A quilt warms the soul.”

“Across the country,” Sanford said, “there are over 10,000 quilters creating quilts, by hand, for our combat veterans and servicepeople currently in Afghanistan and other areas around the world.”

“I thank you all so very much,” Bennett repeated.

“Thank you,” Bennett told the pastor.

Presenting the quilt was Bobbie Sanford, the west/central Oregon coordinator for the Quilts of Valor Foundation.

Bennett’s daughter, Fallon Rose, made the request to honor her father with a quilt.

“Robert served in Vietnam from May 6, 1971, to Feb. 5, 1973,” she said, “an unbelievable amount of time in Vietnam.”

Sanford read from a label stitched to the quilt.

“Robert L. Bennett, U.S. Army, Vietnam” she read.

“May the comfort this Quilt of Valor provides to you be a continuing reminder of the warmth and gratitude felt for your honorable and valuable service to this country. Your sacrifice has not passed unnoticed. Presented on

A clean town is good business Our view Efforts to tidy up is good for promoting tourism and our strengthening economic diversity.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Saturday morning was cool and slightly overcast — perfect weather for picking up trash.

We joined about 30 or more volunteers that morning in the Bay Area Brigade Highway 101 Cleanup Competition, an effort to tidy up the main thoroughfare in preparation for the tourist season and to kick off National Tourism Week.

This was the second year of the event, sponsored by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. Organizers said just a handful of folks showed up to help last year.

This year they decided to make it a competition

between Marshfield Pirates, North Bend Bulldogs and Southwestern Community College Lakers, and doubled the turnout.

We joined a group of Bulldogs to police a stretch of highway between Florida Street and Simpson Park.

Surprisingly, the road was pretty clean already, meaning we had time to add a couple of vacant lots, the park itself and Lincoln Square, to our patrol area.

The event culminated with a barbecue at the North Bend firehouse where the Bulldogs were deemed the winners, collecting 30 large bags of trash.

Volunteer efforts like these are important for a community, especially one like ours that depends in part on a robust tourism and visitor industry. That industry is part of a diversified economy that an isolated region like ours needs. We can’t rely on just one economic engine, like we had with timber, or like we mistakenly might if we rely solely on an LNG plant.

We need industries of all kinds — manufacturing, resource extraction, service, retail sales, tourism — to thrive, as well as to create an economic buffer when one of those industries falters.

And participating in

events like the Highway 101 cleanup is one way to show support for that kind of economic diversity.

If you missed last Saturday, there are always more opportunities. On Saturday, May 17, Southwestern Oregon Community Collect joins the Coos Bay Chapter of Surfrider, Washed Ashore and South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve to host a spring beach clean up. The volunteer organization SOLVE is looking for volunteers for that effort (www.solv.org).

Company’s coming, folks; time to clean house.

Mail today, gone tomorrow VENICE, Calif. — This beach community is LA’s latest magnet for hip, cool and gentrification.Modest cottages currently sell for an immodest $2 million, even as homeless people, sprawled on nearby lawns, holler for handouts.

Not everyone here agrees on what constitutes change for the better, but there’s a certain unity of anger over the sale of Venice’s historic post office to producer Joel Silver (“The Matrix”).

The Spanish-style structure, built in 1939 by the Works Progress Administration, was a community hub and attraction. It is here that Orson Welles filmed the gloomy opening in “Touch of Evil.” The privatized landmark will soon re-emerge as the home of Silver Pictures.

The U.S. Postal Service’s bizarre decision to sell beloved old buildings to raise quick cash has created angst across the country. A 1937 post office in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was razed and replaced by a Walgreens (which, ironically,sells stamps).In New York, the fight’s still on over plans to sell the fabulous Bronx General Post Office, a fixture for close to 80 years.

FROMA Many such battles are HARROP clustered in California’s Columnist choicer real estate markets. Santa Monica’s 1938 post office recently closed.And locals are still trying to stop sales in La Jolla and Berkeley.

“It’s totally a real estate thing,” Steve Hutkins, a New York University professor who runs the “Save the Post Office” blog, told me. “Scavengers are exploiting situations to grab trophy buildings from the public realm.”

Interestingly, the Postal Service hired the commercial real estate firm CBRE to do the sales. Its chairman happens to be the husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat. Critics say these buildings are being sold for below assessed value to connected business interests.

The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, the agency’s internal watchdog, has already issued two audit reports criticizing CBRE’s handling of sales. And the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has called for halting them.

Folks in Venice seem unimpressed by Silver’s contention that he is blessing the neighborhood with Hollywood glamour and 25 jobs.

“We hate Silver and his studios,” Greta Cobar, a Venice resident and high school teacher, told me. “He is currently trying to develop and gentrify the area surrounding his studio, which would eliminate the ‘coolness’ and ‘hipness’ that brought him here in the first place.”

Venetians don’t agree on much, Cobar said, but on this, “people who could not stand being in the same room all of a sudden started working together.”

An added thorn has been the fate of the building’s glorious Depression-era mural, “Story of Venice.” Law requires property holders to give the public access to such artwork, which the public still owns. Silver is offering six days a year by appointment only.

The “process” for closing post offices supposedly gives people time to comment.

The Postal Service said that did not apply to Venice because, actually, it was not “closing” a post office but “relocating” to another place nearby.

The Postal Service says it is broke and needs to sell the buildings for the money. But what would $200 million from the sale of real estate do for an agency with an annual budget of $65 billion?

The fiercest pocket of resistance remains Berkeley, where protesters camped out on the steps of their 1914 Beaux Arts post office for 33 days. The city has rezoned the area to restrict use of the building.

Good luck to them. But as Orson Welles said, “if you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.”

Letters to the Editor District still in the study stages Recent reporting in The World has raised concern in the Coos Bay School District community that the district may change the grade configuration of its schools next year. This is incorrect. The district has no immediate or near-term plans to change the grades at its schools.

Rather, the Coos Bay Schools Facilities Task Force, a community-based team of concerned citizens, has been working hard to develop a community-supported facilities plan based on their mission to provide excellent community schools. The task force has created and analyzed community surveys and held outreach meetings, brain-storming sessions and a planning workshop.

The work of the task force has necessarily included discussion of the best grade configuration for Coos Bay schools in the future.

The goal of both the district and the task force is to develop facilities that will suit the educational programs that we want, so that we will not have to make program decisions to suit the buildings that we have. Making sure that we design future facilities around a community-supported grade configuration plan is one part of that work.

Based on its findings to date, the task force has begun to narrow the options for a facilities plan.

Task force members will soon be seeking additional input through another round of surveys and meetings. I encourage every member of the community to look for opportunities to share your views with the task force or to become an active member.

More information on the work of the task force, its members, and future events can be found online at facilities.cbd9.net.

We need jobs, just not LNG jobs Since we have already been warned that we are going to be inundated with pro-LNG letters, articles, etc. from BOOST and their friends, I do hope your paper will give the same courtesy to those against LNG. Only

seems fair, right?

And I am tired of all the people telling other people to leave the area or go back from where they came if they are against LNG. I’ve been here 65 years, and my wife 68 years, and she was from another Oregon town.

I know we need jobs but not LNG jobs. There will not be enough to make a dent in our areas unemployment. And at what expense?

With two natural gas explosions the last week, does that tell you anything?

Bryan Craig Charleston

Education, but at what expense?

Jordan Cove can endow the schools and pay taxes, and that is exactly what we should ask them to do. The Enterprise Zone and Urban Renewal can be abolished or changed by the will of the four participants at any time. It is wrong to take, take, take from the school equalization program, as we have, and then not do our part when it is time to pay back. The lesson you are teaching these children is not moral. The CEP plans will probably backfire, and deservedly so, when our local politicians and leaders cheerlead for their own “claw-back.”

What locals really need to ask themselves about the kids is will they thank you? Should they be grateful for the daily danger of having a gas plant directly across the bay from North Bend schools and neighborhoods? How will they feel when they realize you let them build it in our earthquake/tsunami zone, especially since we are overdue for such an event? Will they love breathing that contaminated air?

As they learn about the environment, are they going to applaud the fact that you invited a fossilfuel industry to build another project that exists only to make money for a foreign company, most likely one from China? How will they view the fact that you let those foreigners take your neighbor's property by eminent domain?

I understand the passion for educational funding, but what is the real expense of this project and even the CEP? People should be very cautious about what they do in the name of the children. The lessons they learn are often

informed by actions instead of what they are taught at school.

Cast your vote to re-elect Beaman Vote to re-elect Judge Beaman. I have known Judge Cynthia Beaman for 12 years. In the time that I have known her, I have witnessed her volunteer countless hours to this community. I know that she has spent both time and money on projects such as recreational opportunities for our youth, educational projects for our schools, and has supported programs for those less fortunate. Judge Beaman takes pride in what her home has to offer and works endlessly to ensure that we continue to expand in positive ways.

I choose to elect into office an individual that I know has a strong sense of community, a person who I know to be fair and impartial, who has integrity, and who has the experience and knowledge to uphold the governing laws and statutes. Judge Cynthia Beaman has demonstrated nothing less than this in her dedication to our county and its citizens, both inside the courtroom and out.

A vote to re-elect Judge Cynthia Beaman is a vote I can stand behind!

Fossil fuels ought not fund schools The opinion page of The World, April 24, contained two letters in support of the South Coast Community Foundation’s plan to enhance local educational opportunities and facilities for Coos County children. The SCCF is contingent upon approval of the proposed LNG export facility.

The natural gas, to be liquefied at the Jordan Cove facility, will come from a process called high-volume slickwater hydraulic fracturing. Fracking exerts up to 10,000 pounds per square inch to the bedrock. Each fracking operation uses from 2-8 million gallons of fresh water and 10,000-40,000 gallons of proprietary chemicals. The process has been compared to

smashing a windshield with a baseball bat. If you live near a fracking site, you should be very concerned about the safety of your drinking water.

As of 2005, high-volume slickwater hydraulic fracturing has been exempt from the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Superfund laws and numerous state and federal regulations concerning the transportation of toxic waste. The toxic waste from the fracking process refers to the flowback (but is not limited to), a large percentage of the fresh water and chemicals mixed together.

To base support for education on such an assault on the earth is indeed short sighted and narrow-minded. Our children and grandchildren (and their children and grandchildren) deserve a better future, free from fossil fuel addiction and toxic technologies.

Who owns this beach, anyway?

Just yesterday I went to my favorite clamming spot only to find a huge "private beach/no trespassing" sign. This area is behind Fishermans Grotto in Charleston. From what I understand, all lands below high water mark are public land. How can you make a public beach private?

Anyone have information on this? People use this area all the time and it has never been closed.

Gift packaging promises more than it can deliver DEAR ABBY: I recently went in on a gift with my friend “Ali” for our other friend, “Gena.” Ali offered to purchase and wrap the gift, a nice wallet from an inexpensive store. Imagine my surprise when Ali turned up at Gena’s birthday party with the wallet elaborately wrapped in expensive designer paper.

At first, I thought she DEAR had spent more of her money and u p g ra d e d our gift, but when Gena unwrapped the designe r packaging to reveal the JEANNE riginal PHILLIPS owallet we had selected, I was taken aback. It turned out that Ali had reused the wrapping paper from a gift her husband had given her, disguising our present as something it wasn’t.

Gena was clearly disappointed. Other guests who had been eyeing it looked excited at first, then confused. I felt our gift wasn’t appreciated and we ended up looking cheap. I was at a loss for words. What would have been the appropriate way to handle the situation? Is this normal gift-wrapping practice, or did Ali cross the line?

— FLABBERGASTED IN FLORIDA DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Reusing wrapping paper isn’t unusual. Gena’s reaction to the gift was inappropriate.

Instead of letting her disappointment show, Gena should have smiled and graciously thanked you and Ali for her gift. (Remember the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts”?) As for you, all you needed to say was “Happy Birthday!”

DEAR ABBY: With Mother’s Day nearly upon us, would you remind your readers that stepmothers are worthy of recognition, too? If one has any regard for the feelings of his or her stepmom, PLEASE make her day by calling or visiting her and telling her how much she means to you. And I don’t mean a phone call at 9 p.m.

I married my husband when his sons were in their late teens. Every Mother’s Day for 14 years I have been reminded that his sons choose not to recognize me, even though our relationships are very good. (One of them is a stepfather himself.)

It’s a real heartbreaker, believe me. — GIVING UP ON WAITING IN OREGON DEAR GIVING UP ON WAITING: If you think you are the only stepmother who feels unappreciated on Mother’s Day, think again. I have heard from many stepmothers who have written letters that are variations on this theme. There can be reasons for it — the fact that you didn’t raise them, fear that it would be somehow disloyal to their birth mother, unresolved relationship issues or just being preoccupied.

If you haven’t discussed this with your stepsons, perhaps you should. Or better yet, your husband should.

But if that doesn’t solve the problem, for your own sake, stop brooding about it and direct your attention elsewhere.

State Gov. Kitzhaber performs CPR on woman PORTLAND (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber performed CPR on an unconscious woman Monday evening in downtown Portland, assisting her until medics could arrive, say his spokeswoman and fire department spokesmen.

The governor, a former emergency room doctor, was traveling by car through downtown Portland about 5 p.m. when he saw “someone along the edge of the street who seemed to be attempting to resuscitate a woman” lying on the ground, Kitzhaber spokeswoman Nkenge

Harmon Johnson said in an email to The Oregonian.

The governor told his driver to pull over, asked his security officers to call 911, quickly assessed the woman and began CPR, Portland Fire and Rescue Lt. Rich Chatman said.

KGW-TV first reported the governor’s rescue effort.

The woman had regained a pulse but was not breathing when a firetruck arrived within about four minutes of the 911 call.

At that point, the governor had

provided her with an oxygen mask for rescue breathing, said Lt. Alan Ferschweiler, a fire department medic at the scene.

Medics took over her treatment.

She had started to breathe “and make purposeful movements” by the time an ambulance arrived to take her to a hospital, Ferschweiler said.

Her condition was not known late Monday night.

The medic described the woman as being in her 30s.

When the 911 call came in, medics were told “the governor’s there and

he’s doing CPR.” “We don’t always believe everything we’re told until we see it,” Ferschweiler said in a telephone interview. “It was great to see him do his work and help out when his services were needed.”

The 67-year-old Kitzhaber, a Democrat, was elected governor twice in the 1990s.

He was barred by term limits from running in 2002, but made a political comeback and won an unprecedented third term in November 2010.

He’s running for a fourth term.

Advanced placement: Oregon boosting test aid MEDFORD (AP) — The state of Oregon plans to expand subsidies for highschool students taking advanced placement exams that can allow them to skip introductory college courses.

For low-income students, the state will pick up the entire tab, in hopes of removing a financial barrier to students who might forgo the tests and then wind up paying much more for college credits later on, the Mail Tribune Medford reported.

The tests costs $89 each, The Associated Press Darcy Creason, of Crooked River Ranch, rides a horse, Bullet, up a steep hill in the first obstacle of the Lone and many students sign up Pine Trail Challenge on in the Skull Hollow-Crooked River National Grasslands near Prineville, on May 4.

43-year-old ‘Prineville Ride’ renamed

LONE PINE (AP) — Horses and riders of all breeds and sizes spent the weekend in the Skull Hollow-Crooked River National Grasslands participating in endurance rides, trail rides and other challenges at the 43rd annual Still Memorial Weekend, formerly known as The Prineville Ride.

Sandy Mayernick, volunteer coordinator at Mustangs to the Rescue, an all-breed horse rescue and rehabilitation organization based near Sisters, said she estimated about 200 people participated in the three-day event.

“It’s huge this year,” Mayernick said. “Our numbers are definitely up.

(Saturday) there were horse trailers as far as the eye could see.”

For the first 42 years, the event was known as The Prineville Ride.

When Mustangs to the Rescue Executive Director Kate Beardsley took the event over this year, she changed the name to honor Cole and Charlotte Still.

“They were big proponents of endurance rides,” Mayernick said.

The Stills were a local married couple who both died of natural causes within a short time of each other, Mayernick said.

Friday’s first event was a 25-mile endurance ride at 11 a.m., followed by a competitive trail challenge at 2 p.m.

Saturday’s events started

Starfish disease found on Ore. coast

early at 6:30 a.m. with a 50mile endurance ride and a 25-mile endurance ride at 7:30 a.m.

An endurance ride is a timed event in which a horse and rider traverse a marked, measured cross-country trail over natural terrain. The rides can be up to 100 miles, and riders are expected to cover the distance in one day. The sport is governed by the American Endurance Ride Conference, which sanctions over 700 rides a year in the U.S. and Canada. The AERC maintains ride points, lifetime mileage statistics and an awards database for each horse and rider.

“Riders are judged on how they and their horse handle obstacles along the trail,” Mayernick said. “We also put pink horseshoes along the trail for people to find. People who brought back a pink horseshoe were given a special prize.”

Mayernick explained that during the trail challenge, judges are positioned at different obstacles, such as at the top of a steep hill, and judge riders by how they tackle the obstacle and how well they control their horses.

Winners of the endurance rides were announced Sunday at 8 a.m., and then riders who were still there went out again at 10 a.m. for a trail challenge followed by a poker ride in which participants rode to different checkpoints where they drew a playing card from

a deck. The winner was the rider with the best poker hand at the end.

There was also an in-hand trail challenge Saturday afternoon in which participants walked with their horses, guiding them through an obstacle course by their reins. Mayernick said a 5year-old girl leading a pony was the youngest, and cutest, competitor.

Saturday night participants feasted on barbecue while watching a mounted archery demonstration.

“It was like dinner and a movie,” Mayernick said.

All proceeds from the event went to help fund Mustangs to the Rescue, which is run solely on donations and receives no public funding. Mayernick declined to say how much money the event raised.

Horses rehabilitated at Mustangs to the Rescue are adopted out to private citizens or placed in roles of service, such as search and rescue and mounted police patrols, Mayernick said.

Corrine Davis, of Maupin, brought her horse Winona to the event. She also brought her friend Becky Evans, who was visiting from the San Francisco area.

“There were all kinds of horses here over the weekend,” Davis said. “Events like these are good because it lets the Forest Service know people are using the land for riding their horses.”

school students will pay $56.

School officials said they firmed up the subsidies recently, with word that a federal grant would be renewed.

Most students have already registered and paid for this year’s exams, which will be offered over the next two weeks. They’re getting refunds.

School officials said they expect to see greater numbers of tests next year — the subsidies are funding 6,712 exams this year for lowincome students. The state estimates that could rise to 7,600 next year.

“I expect those numbers to go up ... for the regular students as well,” said Michelle Dabbs, advanced placement coordinator at South Medford High School.

“This year, we didn’t know about the waiver until after we had ordered all the tests.”

PORTLAND (AP) — A disease that has been killing starfish on the West Coast has been found in Oregon.

Oregon Coast Aquarium divers at the entrance to Yaquina Bay on April 27 found starfish with “sea star wasting disease” that causes their arms to fall off and turn to goo.

The Oregonian reports divers will survey coastal waters through October to monitor the disease and perhaps help determine the cause.

Others can report sick or healthy starfish online at inaturalist.org and sickstarfish.com.

Top court to decide defibrillator issue

NEWS D I G E S T

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Mary Ann Verdugo, 49, was shopping with her mother in a Southern California Target store when she collapsed in the jewelry department and died there of a sudden cardiac arrest before paramedics arrived.

Target officials extended their condolences to the Verdugo family, calling the incident an unfortunate but unpreventable tragedy. The family disagreed and filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, arguing that Target should have had a device called an automatic external defibrillator on hand and a worker trained to use it to jolt Verdugo’s heart back to beating.

On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court takes up the issue of whether Target and other large retailers in the state are required to have defibrillators ready to use on stricken customers.

Target and its supporters argue that such a requirement of retailers is costly and unfair, opening them up to liability in other medical emergencies. supporters Defibrillator counter that the cardiac arrest is different from other emergencies and the device is inexpensive and easy enough to use that it should be manda-

diac arrests often occur with no prior warning or symptoms and can strike an otherwise healthy heart.

They can be corrected, however, with a jolt of electricity from a defibrillator.

But the defibrillator has to be deployed within minutes of a cardiac arrest to be useful.

Clip suspected in circus accident; 8 hospitalized PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Investigators suspect that a snapped clip sent eight aerial acrobats plummeting 20 feet or more during a daring act in which performers dangle from their hair. One injured performer told her father she didn’t notice anything amiss before her “plunge into darkness.”

The clip, a common type called a carabiner that’s used for everything from rock climbing to holding keyrings, was one of several pieces at the top of a chandelier-like apparatus that suspended the performers, fire officials said. After the accident, the 4- to 5-inch steel clip was found in three pieces on the ground with its spine snapped.

Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare

stopped short of saying the carabiner caused Sunday’s accident at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus, witnessed by about 3,900 people, many of them children.

The federal Occupational and Health Safety Administration is trying to make a final determination.

“We don’t know if it was metal fatigue, if it wasn’t properly positioned or something else,” Pare said.

“We just don’t know.”

All eight of the acrobats were still hospitalized with injuries including a pierced liver and neck and back fractures, as well as head injuries.

None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening, said Stephen Payne, a spokesman for Feld Entertainment, Ringling’s parent company.

The last two acrobats in crit-

ical condition were upgraded to serious condition Monday night. Four of the acrobats were in good condition and four in serious.

The women are from the United States, Brazil, Bulgaria and Ukraine, the circus said.

A dancer on the ground was also injured and was released from the hospital Sunday.

Roitner Neves, the father of one of the injured women, Widny Neves, said she broke her right arm and suffered back and neck fractures.

Fracking boom exacts higher fatalities CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — Booming production of oil and natural gas has exacted a little-known price on some of the nation’s roads, contributing to a spike in traffic fatalities in states where many streets and highways are choked with large trucks and heavy drilling equipment.

An Associated Press analysis of traffic deaths and U.S. census data in six drilling states shows that in some places, fatalities have more than quadrupled since 2004 — a period when most American roads have become much safer even as the population has grown.

US to use tax law on Russian banks WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is planning to use an anti-tax-evasion law to punish Russia for its actions in Ukraine, a tactic that could prove to be more costly than sanctions.

The law was passed in 2010, long before the crisis in Ukraine. But it could become a powerful economic weapon.

Beginning in July, federal law requires U.S. banks to start withholding a 30 percent tax on certain payments to financial institutions in other countries unless those foreign banks have agreements in place to share information about U.S. account holders with the Internal Revenue Service.

The withholding applies mainly to investment income.

Hash oil explosions on the rise

DENVER (AP) — The opening months of Colorado’s first-in-the-nation recreational marijuana industry have seen a rise in fiery explosions and injuries as pot users try to make the drug’s intoxioil in crude cating home-based laboratories.

Since Jan. 1, when sales began, the state’s only certified adult burn center has treated 10 people with serious injuries they suffered while making hash oil, compared with 11 in 2013 and one in 2012.

Law enforcement and fire officials, meanwhile, are grappling with how to respond, as the questionable legality of the process has made it difficult to punish amateur chemists. Some prosecutors are charging them with felonies, while others say hash oil production is protected under a interviewed, subpoenas are provision of the new legal pot issued and information is law. shared on a bipartisan basis.

World 30 pro-Russian insurgents killed during fighting DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s Interior Minister said Tuesday that 30 proRussian insurgents were killed during operations to expunge anti-government forces in and near a city in the east, while the Kiev authorities attempted to reassert control over the southern region of Odessa by appointing a new governor there.

Arsen Avakov said on his Facebook page Tuesday that four government troops also died and 20 were injured during fighting in Slovyansk.

Civilian diver dies in search for ferry

The Associated Press

Femi Falana, a lawyer and human rights activist, centre, leads a mass-demonstration calling on the government to increase efforts to rescue the hundreds of missing kidnapped school girls of a government secondary school Chibok, in Lagos, Nigeria, on Monday. Police say more than 300 girls and young women were abducted mid-April from Chibok Government Girls Secondary School, of whom some 53 girls are known to have escaped.

Nigerian girl describes kidnap, 276 children still missing LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The girls in the school dorm could hear the sound of gunshots from a nearby town. So when armed men in uniforms burst in and promised to rescue them, at first they were relieved.

“Don’t worry, we’re soldiers,” one 16-year-old girl recalls them saying.“Nothing is going to happen to you.”

The gunmen commanded the hundreds of students at the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School to gather outside. The men went into a storeroom and removed all the food. Then they set fire to the room.

“They ... started shouting, ‘Allahu Akhbar,’ (God is great),” the 16-year-old student said. “And we knew.”

What they knew was chilling: The men were not government soldiers at all.

They were members of the ruthless Islamic extremist group called Boko Haram.

They kidnapped the entire group of girls and drove them away in pickup trucks into the dense forest.

Three weeks later, 276 girls are still missing. At least two have died of snakebite, and about 20 others are ill, according to an intermediary who is in touch with their captors.

Their plight — and the failure of the Nigerian military to find them — has drawn international attention to an escalating Islamic extremist insurrection that has killed more than 1,500 so far this year. Boko Haram, the name means “Western education is sinful,” has in a video seen Monday claimed responsibility for the mass kidnapping and threatened

to sell the girls. The British and U.S. governments have issued statements of concern over the fate of the missing students, and protests have erupted in major Nigerian cities and in New York.

The 16-year-old was among about 50 students who escaped on that fateful day, and she spoke for the first time in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

The AP also interviewed about 30 others, including Nigerian government and Borno state officials, school officials, six relatives of the missing girls, civil society leaders and politicians in northeast Nigeria and soldiers in the war zone. Many spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing that giving their names would also reveal the girls’ identities and subject them to possible stigmatization in this conservative society.

The Chibok girls school is in the remote and sparsely populated northeast region of Nigeria, a country of 170 million with a growing chasm between a north dominated by Muslims and a south by Christians. Like all schools in Borno state, Chibok, an elite academy of both Muslim and Christian girls, had been closed because of increasingly deadly attacks by Boko Haram. But it had reopened to allow final-year students to take exams.

At about 11 p.m. on April 14, a local government official, Bana Lawal, received a warning via cell phone. He was told that about 200 heavily armed militants in 20 pickup trucks and more than 30 motorcycles were headed

Ukraine tightens cordon around rebellious city DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian troops tightened a security cordon around a major insurgentheld eastern city Tuesday, but pro-Russia militia acted with impunity elsewhere in the turbulent region bordering Russia, surrounding a major Interior Ministry base.

Thirty pro-Russia insurgents and four government troops were killed Monday in operations to expunge antigovernment forces around the city of Slovyansk, Ukraine’s interior minister reported Tuesday. Rebels said 10 people — fighters and civilians — were killed by Ukrainian troops during clashes Monday. They would not elaborate and there was no immediate way to reconcile the figures.

Gunbattles on Monday around the city of 125,000 were the interim government’s most ambitious effort to date to quell weeks of unrest in Ukraine’s mainly Russian-speaking east.

In the southwest, Kiev authorities also attempted to reassert control over the key Black Sea region of Odessa by appointing a new governor there Tuesday.

This nation of 46 million is facing its worst crisis in

decades after its Moscowleaning president, whose base was in the east, fled to Russia in February following months of protests. Ukraine’s eastern regions, where armed insurgents have seized dozens of government buildings and police stations in recent weeks, are now at odds with western and central Ukraine, which seek closer ties with Europe and largely back the government in Kiev.

Interior Minister Arsen Avakov gave the death toll on his Facebook page Tuesday, adding that 20 government troops were also injured during fighting in Slovyansk. He said about 800 pro-Russia forces in and around Slovyansk were large-caliber deploying weapons and mortars Monday.

By Tuesday morning, Ukrainian forces had taken hold of a key checkpoint north of the city, dealing a blow to insurgent lines of communication.

In Donetsk, a major city 75 miles south of Slovyansk, the airport was closed during the day to international flights following a government order but reopened later.

toward his town.

Lawal alerted the 15 soldiers guarding Chibok, he said. Then he roused sleeping residents and told them to flee into the bush and the nearby hills. The soldiers sent an SOS to the nearest barracks, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away, an hour’s drive on a dirt road.

No help arrived.

When the militants showed up two hours after the warning, the soldiers fought valiantly, Lawal said.

Although they were outnumbered and outgunned, they held off the insurgents for an hour and a half, desperately waiting for reinforcements.

One was killed. They ran out of ammunition and fled for their lives.

As dawn approached, the extremists headed for the boarding school.

There were too many gunmen to count, said the girl who escaped. So, even after the students realized the men were Islamic extremists, they obediently sat in the dirt. The men set the school ablaze and herded the girl’s group onto the backs of three pickup trucks.

The trucks drove through three villages, but then the car of fighters following them broke down. That’s when the girl and her friend jumped out.

Others argued, the 16year-old remembered. But one student said, “We should go! Me, I am coming down. They can shoot me if they want but I don’t know what they are going to do with me otherwise.”

As they jumped, the car behind started up. Its lights came on. The girls did not

know if the fighters could see them, so they ran into the bush and hid.

“We ran and ran, so fast,” said the girl, who has always prided herself on running faster than her six brothers.

“That is how I saved myself. I had no time to be scared, I was just running.”

A few other girls clung to low-hanging branches and waited until the vehicles had passed. Then they met up in the bush and made their way back to the road. A man on a bicycle came across them and accompanied them back home.

There, they were met with tears of joy.

“I’m the only girl in my family, so I hold a special place and everyone was so happy,” the girl said. “But that didn’t last long.”

The day after, the Defense Ministry put out a statement quoting the school principal, saying soldiers had rescued all but eight of the girls.

When the principal denied it, the ministry retracted its statement.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A civilian diver involved in searches for dozens of missing people from the South Korean ferry disaster died Tuesday, as other divers helped by better weather and easing ocean currents were picking up efforts to retrieve more bodies from the sunken ship.

The Sewol carried 476 people, most of them students from a single high school near Seoul, when it sank off South Korea’s southern coast on April 16. Only 174 survived, including 22 of the 29 crew members. The sinking left more than 260 people dead, with about 40 others still missing.

Authorities detain lawyer in crackdown BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities have detained a well-known rights lawyer in an apparent bid to deter activists from marking the upcoming 25th anniversary of a brutal military suppression of pro-democracy protesters.

Pu Zhiqiang was criminally detained by Beijing police in the early hours of Tuesday, according to Qu Zhenhong, an associate at Pu’s firm in Beijing who has been in contact with his family.

Archaeologist says he has found citadel JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli archaeologist says he has found the legendary citadel captured by King David in his conquest of Jerusalem, rekindling a longstanding debate about using the Bible as a field guide to identifying ancient ruins.

The claim by Eli Shukron, like many such claims in the

WORLD D I G E S T field of biblical archaeology, has run into criticism. It joins a string of announcements by Israeli archaeologists saying they have unearthed palaces of the legendary biblical king, who is revered in Jewish religious tradition for establishing Jerusalem as its central holy city — but who has long eluded historians looking for clear-cut evidence of his existence and reign.

Boats capsize, 22 migrants drown ATHENS, Greece (AP) — At least 22 people — including families trapped in a flooded cabin — drowned when a yacht and a dinghy crammed with migrants trying to slip into Greece capsized Monday in the eastern Aegean Sea, authorities said.

Rescue teams led a search for up to seven more people missing, in what was one of the deadliest migrant boat accidents in Greek waters in recent years and the third fatal one this year. Many on board were from war-torn or unstable countries in the Middle East and Africa.

The vessels overturned before dawn off the island of Samos, a favorite destination for migrant-smuggling gangs because it’s close to the Turkish coast. The Greek coast guard said it was not immediately clear what caused the overloaded craft to capsize.

Vatican sex abuse compared with torture GENEVA (AP) — A U.N. committee compared the Vatican’s handling of the global priest sex abuse scandal with torture Monday, raising the possibility that its failure to investigate clergy and their superiors could have broader legal implications.

But the Vatican’s top envoy in Geneva, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, claimed that the Holy See was getting its house in order after a decade-long effort to deal with a global priest sex abuse scandal.

Continued from Page A1 change the most, said coauthor Katharine Hayhoe, a Texas Tech University climate scientist. Extreme like droughts, weather storms and heat waves hit us in the pocketbooks and can be seen by our own eyes, she said.

And it’s happening a lot more often lately.

The report says the intensity, frequency and duration of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes have increased since the early 1980s, but it is still uncertain how much of that is from man-made warming. Winter storms have increased in frequency and intensity and shifted northward since the 1950s, it says. Also, heavy downpours are increasing — by 71 percent in the Northeast.

Heat waves, such as those in Texas in 2011 and the Midwest in 2012, are projected to intensify nationwide.

Droughts in the Southwest are expected to get stronger.

Sea level has risen 8 inches since 1880 and is projected to rise between 1 foot and 4 feet by 2100.

Since January 2010, 43 of the lower 48 states have set at least one monthly record

90s 100s 110s

for heat, such as California having its warmest January on record this year. In the past 51 months, states have set 80 monthly records for heat, 33 records for being too wet, 12 for lack of rain and just three for cold, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal weather records.

“We’re being hit hard,” Hayhoe said, comparing America to a boxer. “We’re holding steady, and we’re getting hit in the jaw. We’re starting to recover from one punch, and another punch comes.”

The report also says “climate change threatens human health and wellbeing in many ways.” Those include smoke-filled air from more wildfires, smoggy air from pollution, more diseases from tainted food, water, mosquitoes and ticks.

And all this will come with a hefty cost, the report says.

Flooding alone may cost $325 billion by the year 2100 in one of the worst-case scenarios, with $130 billion of that in Florida, the report says.

Already the droughts and heat waves of 2011 and 2012 added about $10 billion to farm costs, the report says.

Billion-dollar weather disasters have hit everywhere across the nation, but have hit Texas, Oklahoma and the Southeast most often, the report says.

MOVING Lightens load on other schools Continued from Page A1 said the agreement will have minimal impact on the budget. The board will need to reserve at least $132,000 in contingency funds every year, just in case the district needs to pick up Lighthouse’s rent payments.

“We have that amount and we have had that amount in contingency for the 10 years I’ve been here and we’ve rarely had to use it,” O’Connor said.

The move comes on the heels of reconfiguration throughout the district.

Hillcrest and North Bay will become K-5 elementary schools this fall, bumping Lighthouse out of the North Bay building to make room for a 200-student spike.

UPGRADES Continued from Page A1 need to invest in our streets because we’ve deferred maintenance for so long. It just gets more expensive if we wait.”

It is a situation that was detailed in a World article in March, as well as in the city’s monthly newsletter.

Pirates earn spot in state golf tourney THE WORLD Marshfield’s boys clinched a spot in the Class 4A state golf tournament by completing their run to the Far West League’s regular-season title Monday at Bandon Crossings.

The Pirates shot a team score of 333, their best of the five league tournaments, to finish unbeaten in the tournaments. By having the lowest cumulative score, they earned one of the league’s state berths.

The other will be determined at the dis-

trict tournament next Monday and Tuesday, also at Bandon Crossings. The favorite for the second spot will be Coquille, which was second in the regular season standings and second to Marshfield four of the five weeks, the exception when they tied for the team title at Sandpines two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, five individual berths also will be up for grabs at the district tournament, with Sutherlin’s Tyler Franke almost certain to take one of them. Franke was medalist of all five district events, including shooting a 79 at Bandon Crossings on Monday.

Franke was followed Monday by Coquille’s Terrence Edwards (80), Marshfield’s Preston Luckman (81) and Kasey Banks (82) and Coquille’s Clayton Dieu (84).

While five schools have complete boys teams, Bandon is the only one of the area’s schools to have fielded a complete girls team regularly. The Tigers are assured a berth in the Class 4A-3A-2A-1A girls tournament unless at least two other schools have four girls competing next week.

Two girls tied for medalist honors Monday at Bandon Crossings — Bandon’s Grace McMahon and Marshfield’s Jane

Suppes, who both shot 98.

Coquille’s Breanna Duff shot a 102, while Brookings-Harbor’s MacKenzie Edwards had a 105 and Bandon’s Michelle Whitney had a 107.

SWOCC

DeVault sets new record THE WORLD McKenzie DeVault set a new Southwestern Oregon Community College school record in the discus last Friday while competing at the Oregon State High Performance Meet in Corvallis.

Devault’s throw of 135 feet, 4 inches was only good enough to place 14th in the meet, which included athletes from a number of four-year schools. Nikki Iaulualo-Puaa was three spots back with a throw of 133-4 and also placed 10th in the shot put with an effort of 40-6.

Jasmine Meline ran a time of 2 minutes, 20.24 seconds to place 10th in the 800. Meanwhile, Paul Harlow had another new best in the pole vault, clearing 15-3 to place third.

The Lakers compete this weekend in the NWAACC South Region championships at Mount Hood Community College in Gresham.

BASEBALL SWOCC salvaged a Saturday split with Clackamas that helped the Lakers keep pace with Lane Community College in the race for one of the South Region’s two spots in the NWAACC Tournament.

The Lakers lost both games against Clark on Friday before beating Clackamas 8-7 in the opener and losing 2-0 in the nightcap.

Like the Lakers, Lane only won one of its four games over the weekend. SWOCC and the Titans have matching 13-10 records, and have fallen 3.5 games behind Clark, which won all four of its games over the weekend.

The Lakers have six games remaining in the league season — at Mount Hood on Friday and Chemeketa on Saturday before hosting Lane on May 16 with a doubleheader that could determine whether the Lakers advance to the NWAACC tournament. The final day also includes the conclusion of a suspended game between the teams that is tied in the 12th inning.

On Saturday, the Lakers bounced back from an early 5-1 deficit, scoring four runs in the fourth inning. SWOCC won the game with a run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Cedric Zumwalt had a two-out single, stole second and came home on a single by Brandon Farley.

Zumwalt and Taylor Raff each had three hits in the game. Raff scored two runs, while Zumwalt had three RBIs. Zumwalt, Charlie Walker and Alejandro Barajas each hit doubles.

In the nightcap, the SWOCC bats went silent, managing just two hits against Zach Carter of Clackamas — singles by Raff and Walker.

Jordan Farley and Hunter Combs each gave up one run for the Lakers.

SOFTBALL Clackamas swept the Lakers 42 and 12-2 on Saturday, to improve to 14-2, a game behind Mount Hood.

SWOCC fell to 7-9. Though the Lakers remain in third place, they still have work to do to secure one of the region’s four NWAACC tournament berths, with Chemeketa at 6-10 and Lower Columbia at 5-11.

The Lakers visit last-place Clark today and host Lower Columbia on Friday, possibly needing a win over the Red Devils in the finale to secure a tourney berth even if they sweep the Penguins this afternoon in Vancouver, Wash.

North Bend’s James Jordan returns a shot as doubles partner Stewart Lyons stands ready in the match against Marshfield’s Austin Muncy and Leon Witten-Kochs last month at the William J. Sweet Memorial Tennis Center in Coos Bay. The doubles partners have high hopes to advance to the state tournament.

Tennis teams seek district success

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Going into the district tournament, North Bend’s and Marshfield’s tennis teams have done a bit of rearranging to their lineups.

When both teams show up — the girls play Thursday through Saturday at Black Butte Ranch and guys will be next Monday through Wednesday at Medford — they’ll each have new doubles teams building chemistry on the fly.

Reasor and McKenna MacKenzee Scott will be doubles partners for North Bend on the girls side after playing singles most of the year. The same is true with Jacob Gage and Brigham Baker for North Bend’s boys.

Marshfield recently paired Leon Wittern-Cox and Austin Muncy — who played No. 1 singles earlier in the year — as its top double team.

None of these teams played with each other a month ago, but it’s just how it goes when the competition gets raised.

“It’s going to be hard to break through on the singles side,” North Bend head coach Dustin Hood said. “I think they’ve got a shot (in doubles).”

Because of how stiff competition is in singles, by the time the

Marshfield singles player Lindsay Brown keeps her eye on the ball as she plays McKenna Reasor of North Bend Monday during their season-opening match in March. district tournament comes around, coaches start to get realistic about who can compete at districts. Singles players who compete well in league may not have the same chances when the talent pool gets deeper, leading singles players to pair up for their best shot at qualifying for the state tournament — the top four singles players and doubles teams advance.

This is Marshfield’s first year in Class 4A-3A-2A-1A, and while the schools are smaller, the number of competitors has ballooned from what the Pirates faced in the Midwestern League in the past.

Because the district tournament includes a consolation bracket, all the players are guaranteed at least two matches. A few local players are hoping to stay on

the championship side of the bracket.

“If it was just 4A, it would be a lot easier,” Marshfield girls coach Aron Boesl said. “But they’re hungry, they want to go for it, and there’s upsets that happen and you can break through.”

Boesl really likes the chances of his top two doubles teams — Braeden Kennedy and Desiree Guirado along with Abby Clough and Sara Springael. But Boesl also thinks the other two teams of Katrina Garcia and Sierra Banks as well as Shasta Banks and Patrizia Cugnetto could probably win a couple of matches, too.

“I’m excited for our one and two doubles,” Boesl said. “They should really be 1A and 1B. They’re very close.”

“They’re all peaking at the right time so I hope at least one of them gets through to state.”

The team as a whole wants to enjoy the event, he said.

“We will go in and try our best and see how it goes,” Boesl said.

“They want to have a fun time and see what happens.”

North Bend head coach Dustin Hood will have his own doubles teams coming in with a lot of previous success.

OSU AD had change of heart on Robinson

BY JESSE SOWA Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — Bob De Carolis had a change of heart.

Five weeks ago, Oregon State’s athletic director released a letter in support of Craig Robinson as men’s basketball coach despite a season of failed expectations and lagging fan support.

De Carolis told Robinson by phone last Thursday that he had changed his mind.

Monday, De Carolis announced it was time for change.

“I came to the conclusion that we needed a fresh start, and that the most recent transfers certainly cemented that feeling ... and once I made the decision I wanted to move quickly,” De Carolis said Monday afternoon during a press conference at Gill Coliseum.

The Beavers are moving forward after six years with Robinson, who was 94-105 overall and 39-69 in conference games.

OSU had a winning record just once in those six seasons and won no more than eight conference games.

The Beavers won the College Basketball Invitational, a third-tier postseason tournament, in Robinson’s first season in 2009. But that was the pinnacle of his tenure.

This past season was one of high hopes, with a solid group of veterans poised to get OSU back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1990.

But the Beavers again came up short. Despite highlight wins against NCAA-bound Oregon, UCLA, Stanford and Arizona State, the season ended with a home loss to Radford in the CBI in front of just a few hundred fans.

“He’s tough but he’s fair,” senior guard Roberto Nelson said of Robinson. “He was always positive. He always pushed us in a positive way.”

Nelson said Robinson called him Monday and that his former coach was frustrat-

ed and disappointed. Robinson was worried about his assistant coaches, Nelson said.

De Carolis said he had tried to reach Robinson’s assistants Monday but none were available.

De Carolis had hoped to meet with Robinson in person last Friday, but the coach and his family were out of town.

Robinson and his family were visiting Princeton University, where his daughter Leslie, a current Corvallis High senior, will be attending and playing basketball. Robinson, 52, is a Princeton alum.

Junior forward Eric Moreland declared for the NBA draft April 12. Freshman guard Hallice Cooke later announced he was transferring and junior guard Challe Barton decided to return to Europe to play professionally.

Coupled with the graduation of three prominent seniors, the program is in a complete rebuilding mode.

TENNIS From Page B1 On the boy’s side, undefeated No. 1 team James Jordan and Stewart Lyons have only lost one set the entire season, according to Hood, and should be a force at the tournament. Jordan advanced to state as a freshman last year with then-senior Nathan Petrie.

North Bend’s No. 1 doubles team on the girls side is Hannah SchandelmeierLynch and Taylor Cuzzort, who finished as runner-up last year in the state tournament.

Coincidentally enough, they will be backing into district after losing their last two matches.

“I think it’s a good thing,” Hood said of their recent struggles, which included a loss to the Henley team the North Bend duo beat in the state semifinals last spring.

“Hopefully they get the opportunity to play them again.”

BEAVERS From Page B1 In an interview last month, Robinson said he viewed his time at Oregon State going forward as a second starting-over period, similar to the time of his hire in 2008, when he took over a program that went winless in Pac-10 play the year before.

Oregon State will pay out the roughly $4.2 million remaining on Robinson’s contract, which ends in 2016, with the school’s liability reduced should Robinson

Hood was sheepish about North Bend’s past success at the district tournament, but the Bulldogs have won the past four years on the boys side and three years on the girls.

Last year, three of their girls doubles teams made it to the quarterfinals, also including current partners Raegan Spence and Payton Smith. Reasor reached the quarterfinals with a different doubles partner last year, while Scott reached the quarterfinals in singles.

“Hopefully we’ll have some good fortune like that this year,” Hood said.

“Realistically getting one (entry into state) is really good, two would be great.”

In singles, Marshfield’s girls and North Bend’s boys both have players who should make waves.

Steven Chan, the lone senior, and Brant Hamner also are North Bend veterans playing singles.

Marshfield’s boys team has made incredible strides since the beginning of the season.

Coming into the season, coach Neil Cox was a couple of weeks from not even having a team. He had to recruit a

De Carolis said he had a good working relationship with Robinson and had become friends “socially,” which made his ultimate choice an even tougher one.

De Carolis says his initial decision after the season to retain Robinson was one made through “orange-colored glasses.”

“And as I pulled myself away after I had made the decision and just went back and re-evaluated all those thoughts, I was coming to a different place,” he said.

That brought the process to Monday, as Oregon State begins its search for the 21st

dozen of his 16 players on the team who had never played competitive tennis before just to field a team.

Seniors Logan Gates and Malte Schulz show promise as the Pirates top two singles players.

But Cox is looking further down the depth chart.

“The one and two spots are really competitive,” Cox said.

“We have some really strong three and four players.”

Brett Wyatt and Jose Arellano were two of the late recruits.

Cox lauds Wyatt’s hustle and Arellano’s consistency — “He’s just a wall, he just hits the ball back” — and said what has really set them apart is their work ethic.

“Our new players have really grown a lot,” Cox said.

“You can tell the new players are really into the sport, their spending all their time practicing, they’re practicing after hours, and because of that you can see them (progressing).”

Raptors, Casey agree on new three-year contract TORONTO — A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey agreed to a new three-year contract.

The agreement was reached one day after the Raptors lost Game 7 to the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The person requested anonymity because the team has not announced the deal.

Casey led the Raptors to a surprising 48-34 record and the Atlantic Division title in his third season with the team.

GOLF Woods says recovery has been a slow process PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — T iger Woods described his recovery from back surgery as a “very slow process” that offered him no timetable on when he can return for a summer filled with big championships.

Woods already missed the Masters, choosing to have microdiscectomy surgery March 31 to relieve pain from a pinched nerve.

In a wide-ranging blog on his website Monday, Woods said he is still sore from the incision and his only contact with golf clubs is a few putts and chips that do not require him to rotate his back.

Though he is uncertain when he can even start hitting half-shots, Woods made it sound as though he would not be ready for the U.S. Open on June 12-15 at Pinehurst No. 2, the major championship course where he has the most experience.

Aldridge alreay has the Spurs’ attention

BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

The San Antonio Spurs just finished going toe-to-toe with a transformational power forward whose midrange game stretched their defense to the max, needing seven games to oust Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks.

Tiago Splitter and the Spurs made life difficult for Nowitzki in the opening round. And now they get Nowitzki 2.0 in the Western Conference semifinals when Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge comes to town.

“I think LaMarcus is a younger Dirk who can shoot and drive, play in the post (and do) a lot of things, so it’s not going to be easy,” Splitter said Monday. “We know that.

I think all the team is aware of that; everybody is going to help a little bit.”

Like Nowitzki, Aldridge relies heavily on the midrange game, using every inch of his 6-foot-11 frame to get his jumper off against smaller defenders. When faced with someone his size, Aldridge has the strength and nimble feet to get past them, as he did time and time again in the Trail Blazers’ defeat of the Houston Rockets in six games.

The Rockets rarely had an answer for Aldridge, who beat up the smaller Terrence Jones on the block and took Omer Asik and Dwight Howard away from the basket to stretch the floor. He scored 89 points in the first two games of the series. He averaged 29.8 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in the opening round.

“Guys are going to be confident, but still have to think about the way that we got here, working hard and grinding it out,” Aldridge said. “I think guys are definitely going to be more confident but this is new territory for most of us.”

The Blazers haven’t been out of the first round since 2000 while the Spurs are looking for a return trip to the NBA Finals.

Here are things to watch when the series opens in San Antonio on Tuesday night: Point guard heaven: In a new golden age of point guards, it would hard to find a more compelling matchup than this one. San Antonio’s Tony Parker is the NBA’s gold standard, a savvy veteran who changes speeds like an AllStar pitcher. He was at his best in Game 7, dismantling the Mavericks with 32 points.

Portland’s Damian Lillard is the new kid on the block, a

supremely confident secondyear player who had perhaps the moment of these young playoffs with a game-winning 3-pointer to eliminate Houston. “He can do everything,” Parker said. “He can shoot from the outside, penetrate and so we’re going to try to do some stuff to try to contain him. You’re not going to stop him.”

Defending Parker: As great and fearless as Lillard has been offensively, he still has a lot to learn on the other end of the court. He likely will see the speedy Parker for stretches of the game, but in the biggest moments, look for coach Terry Stotts to put Nic Batum or Wesley Matthews on Parker and try to hide Lillard on Danny Green, who is a standstill shooter and nothing more. That’s what generally happened in the regular season series, which was split 2-2.

Popular guy: After beating the buzzer to hit his gamewinner against the Rockets, Lillard said his phone got quite a workout. “My phone was on 60 percent right after the game,” he said. “As soon as I picked it up it was just buzzing and I went on the podium and when I got off of the podium it was dead. I think I had like 350 texts or something like that.”

Finish the Mother’s Day meal off with this blackberry-orange Napoleon.

So good, you’ll surrender

BY ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

The secret to this simple Mother’s Day dessert is frozen puff pastry. It is easy to work with and bakes up into a deliciously flaky pastry.

You’ll find puff pastry in the grocer’s freezer section, usually near the frozen fruit and pie shells. Be sure to thaw it completely before trying to unfold the sheets of pastry. You can place the box

in the refrigerator overnight, or leave it (unopened) on the counter for about an hour.

We like the combination of blackberries and orange, but feel free to substitute any berry. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries all would be delicious. This dessert also can be prepped ahead of time. Just bake the pastry squares, then store them covered at room temperature.

Cuisine WINE Eateries have a wide selection Continued from Page C1 an open palate.

The first sign that bourbon country had embraced wine country came during lunch at Harvest, a casual restaurant dedicated to southern comfort food.

While “farm to table” has become a cliché, Harvest is the real deal; 80 percent of its ingredients come from within 100 miles.

The wine list offered plenty from California. But they weren’t entirely “bigname California brands” known for big wines.

Instead, the list featured bottles from Edmunds St. John, Arnot-Roberts, and Sandhi — small producers known for eschewing ripeness and power in favor of restraint and elegance.

Just as telling? Harvest’s list was adorned by a quote

by New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov: “Here’s my resolution for 2014: Drink adventurously.” As my trip to Louisville continued, it seemed as if everyone had

taken Asimov’s advice to heart.

A few doors down from Harvest sat a tiny retailer, Taste Fine Wines and Bourbons. Given the locale, I assumed bourbon would be the focus. But the bourbon was in the back of the store, with a small-but-thoughtful selection of wines up front.

Impressively, the store carried wine from Bedrock Wine Company. The proprietor, Morgan Twain-Peterson, sources his grapes from some of California’s oldest vines and makes his wine using oldfashioned techniques.

Among wine geeks, Twain-Peterson is a rock star. But he doesn’t produce enough wine for widespread distribution.

If the store had carried impossible-to-find bourbon like Pappy Van Winkle, I would have been surprised.

But when I saw Bedrock, I was shocked.

When I praised this retailer, DuBou wasn’t fazed.

“Louisville is blessed with several amazing and progressive independent retailer owners, who devote a great deal of time to educating,” he said. “Our wine professionals believe there’s an obligation to help drinkers know more about wine, keep an open and adventurous mind, and keep it weird.”

The third sign of Louisville’s exciting wine scene came at Rye. Recently called one of the nation’s “New Whiskey Temples” by GQ, I knew the restaurant

would take booze seriously and expected to find an impressive selection of small-batch whiskeys. I didn’t expect an accessible and eclectic wine list that would electrify any wine geek.

Decca, a restaurant that has effortlessly combined West Coast cuisine with Kentucky charm, provided another data point. The list had Txakoli, the slightly sparkling white from Spain’s Basque Country that has become popular among New York City sommeliers. It had wine from Romain Papilloud, an acclaimed Swiss producer. It offered wine from Francois Chidaine, a Loire Valley vintner that oenophiles adore. And it had an extensive selection of “grower” Champagne. Made by the farmers who grow the grapes, these wines offer a refreshing alternative to big brands like Veuve Clicquot.

Another sign came at Proof on Main. On offer was wine from Abe Schoener, the iconoclastic California winemaker who once taught ancient Greek philosophy at St. John’s College.

One wouldn’t miss 610 Magnolia while visiting Louisville; it’s been considered the city’s best restaurant for years. While I expected a solid list, I didn’t expect a well-curated selection that would rival top restaurants in major cities.

Louisville will forever be the heart of bourbon country. But like so many other cities, its residents have started drinking wine adventurously.

Cuisine Mother’s Day treats

Forbidden take on a rice pudding

BY SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Speaking as a mom and a chef, let me assure you — one of the nicest things you can do for Mom on Mother’s Day is cook for her. Something sweet is best. And my candidate? Comforting, traditional rice pudding.

Or maybe not so traditional. Classic rice puddings are made from plain white rice.The grains are very tender, the flavor is kind of bland, and the color is white. In my recipe, which is made using black forbidden rice, the grains are slightly chewy, the flavor is slightly nutty, and the color is deep purple.

Once upon a time forbidden rice was said to be literally forbidden. First cultivated in China, forbidden rice was so rare — and so nutritious — no one was allowed to eat it except for the emperor. Today, forbidden rice is considered a delicious and healthy whole grain we can all enjoy.

Like brown rice, forbidden rice is unpolished; the hull of the grain, a rich source of insoluble fiber, is left intact. It’s also a good source of iron and vitamin E, and a great source of the same antioxidants that put the blue in blueberries. I was first introduced to forbidden rice six years ago, when it was still rare. Thankfully, these days it’s readily available at most grocers.

In this recipe, the rice is cooked until tender, then combined with whole milk, sugar, cinnamon, eggs and vanilla. The whole milk — replacing the more traditional (and more caloric) heavy cream — does a great job of delivering the desired silkiness. The cinnamon stick and vanilla — which deliver big flavor — are the most important ingredients next to the rice. If you’ve been waiting for an occasion to use that extra-special Sri Lankan cinnamon or Tahitian vanilla you received as Christmas gifts, now’s the time to pull them off the shelf.

You will need to pay close attention when you add the eggs, making sure they don’t get so hot that they scramble.

The Associated Press

Forbidden rice was once so rare it was relegated to only be eaten by the emperor of China, now you can make it into a pudding.

1 large cinnamon stick Salt 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ⁄4 cup chopped crystallized ginger, to garnish (optional) In a small saucepan over medium-high, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes, then pour through a mesh strainer to discard any excess water. Return the rice to the pot over medium-high heat.

Add 2 cups of the milk, the sugar, the cinnamon stick and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the 1 remaining ⁄2 cup milk. Whisk in a large spoonful of the hot rice mixture. Add the egg mixture to the rice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not let the rice pudding boil or the eggs will scramble.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the vanilla and transfer the rice pudding to a bowl. Cover the pudding and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.

A ricotta spinach tart is a fresh way to serve mom brunch on Mother’s Day.

A tart that is part quiche, part lasagna

BY ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Lasagna isn’t typically associated with Mother’s Day, but it is the dish that inspired us this year as we searched for a fresh way to offer mom a delicious brunch.

We took some of our favorite lasagna ingredients — ricotta cheese, spinach, thyme and Asiago cheese — but instead of layering them with noodles, we mixed them together in a rich, but still light tart filling. With a store-bought crust, the tart can be in the oven in 20 minutes and on the table 40 minutes later. And similar to a good quiche, this tart can be served hot or room temperature.

RICOTA SPINACH TART Start to finish: 1 hour (20 minutes active)

Servings: 6 1 package prepared pie dough 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 5-ounce package baby spinach 1 egg 2 cups ricotta cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme Zest of 1 lemon 1 ⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 ⁄2 cup grated Asiago cheese Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray. Press the pie dough into the tart pan, trimming any excess.

In a skillet over mediumhigh, heat the oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the spinach and cook until completely soft and most the of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer the spinach to a fine mesh strainer. Using a spoon or silicone spatula, press the spinach to extract any remaining liquid.

In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the ricotta, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper and spinach. Stir to combine. Spread the mixture in the prepared tart shell and sprinkle with Asiago cheese.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

NAPOLEONS Sandwich pastry between pans Continued from Page C1 Zest and juice of 1 orange 16-ounce container mascarpone 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment.

Unfold each sheet of puff pastry and lay flat on a work surface. Use 2 tablespoons of the sugar to sprinkle both sides of both sheets of puff pastry. Using a pizza wheel or a paring knife, cut each sheet into 9 squares.

Arrange the squares on the prepared baking sheet, then place another piece of parchment on top of them. Place a second baking sheet on top of that so that the puff pastry is sandwiched between them. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove the top baking sheet and allow the squares to cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the blackberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the orange zest and juice. Set aside.

In another bowl, stir together the mascarpone, powdered sugar and vanilla.

To assemble, place 1 pastry square on each serving plate. Top the square with 1 tablespoon of the mascarpone mixture, then 1 tablespoon of the berries.

Top with another square of pastry, followed by another layer each of mascarpone and berries. Serve immediately.

How many breakfasts in bed does it take for a mom to get sick of breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day? Rather than test the theory, I decided to go in a different direction this year. I wanted to create a light, yet still filling dish that would work well no matter what time of day it was served.

The solution was deliciously easy — a salad of shaved fresh fennel and red onion tossed with a light dressing spiked with dill, whole-grain mustard and just a pinch of sugar. And heaped on top? Roasted new potatoes and a mound of thinly sliced smoked salmon dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper.

Mom doesn’t like salmon?

No worries. Substitute cooked and chilled shrimp.

Or go crazy and serve a bit of each.

Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 12 ounces new potatoes, quartered 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided Salt and ground black pepper 1 large or 2 medium bulbs fennel, trimmed 1 ⁄2 small red onion 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard 1 ⁄2 teaspoon sugar 8 ounces cold-smoked salmon 1 tablespoon lemon juice Chopped fresh dill Heat the oven to 425 degrees.

In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet, then roast until tender and

lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a plate and refrigerate just until no longer hot, about 10 minutes.

While the potatoes cook and cool, use a mandoline or food processor to shave the fennel as thinly as possible.Do the same with the onion. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil, the mustard, sugar and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the shaved fennel and onion, then toss until well coated. Divide the mixture between 4 serving plates. Top with the cooled potatoes.

Divide the salmon into thin slices. In a medium bowl, drizzle the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive and the lemon juice.

Gently toss to coat, then season with pepper. Mound a quarter of the salmon over each salad, then sprinkle with fresh dill.

DILBERT

How I gave my small desk a big makeover If there’s one thing I know about myself, it’s this: I don’t work well in chaos. Recently I came to terms with my office. Specifically, my desk.

I have a fairly small desk, by design. I have just enough space for my computer and a couple of monitors. The desk has only three small drawers that are so full of clutter, I can barely coax them to open. Upgrading to a larger d e s k w i t h EVERYDAY great big CHEAPSKATE d rawe rs is not a solution for me because I k n o w myself.

Without intervention of s o m e Mary kind, I’d Hunt manage to load up that big desk, fill up all of those drawers and end up with an even bigger dilemma.

I think I’ve figured out why this happens. When I’m working and I need something such as a pen while I’m on the phone, I need it now.

This moment. I don’t have time to rummage through stacks of paper, books and manuscripts, or these minuscule drawers to find a pen that actually works.

When I can’t find what I need when I need it, it makes me want to chew my hair.

Which brings me to the point of this column: Desk organization. I did it. I took the time to do it right this time and what a difference it has made. Wow. My desktop is clear and clean, and all of my cables, cords and connections are untangled, organized and accessible.

And my three small drawers? They are so organized and beautiful, this desk now gives me the functionality of an ordinary desk that is twice its size. Here’s what I did: First, I measured everything. Then I spent an hour searching for just the right solutions for my specific needs. I found everything online (all discounted with free shipping). Total, I spent less than $50 plus a couple of Amazon gift cards languishing in the back of my wallet.

It’s the best money I’ve spent in a long time.

C a b l e s a n d c o r d s : My computer peripherals and chargers require a total of 6 electrical outlets. This Quirky Pivot Power Strip plus two Quirky Cordies are fabulous and have taken charge of keeping all of my cables handy and beautifully organized. And the best thing: I can take my laptop with me, and then bring it back and find all of the cables exactly where I left them and all ready to plug in.

So handy.

Drawers: This was tricky because my drawers are long and fairly narrow, and very shallow — just 2 inches. I need dividers of some kind that will fill the space but allow for good visuals so I can see what I have. The modular, clear, acrylic drawer organizers are just perfect and completely fill these drawers. Now, everything has a place and is in its place.

Cable box: My desk is not the only cable and cord station in this office. I have another power strip to handle the television, lamps, printers, adapters and so forth, which creates an unsightly mess. I got a Blue Lounge CableBox and it is slick. The power bar/surge protector fits inside of the cablebox, keeping it dustfree and everything wellprotected.

H a n d y c a d d y : A useful Rolodex Caddy sits on top within handy reach. It’s not so big that it will accumulate a lot of clutter, but large enough to be useful. (For more information about the products mentioned above please visit everydaycheapskate.com/desk.)

I don’t know what’s come over me. Maybe it’s spring fever, and I’m not questioning it one bit. Getting my desk back up to full functionality has given me such a boost of energy I’m ready take on the world!

Next: My closet.

BRIDGE Matthew Lillard, an actor, director and producer, said, “Now, more than ever, we have the ability to make films for almost nothing and that’s broken down all barriers of entry. I think it’s a new golden age of filmmaking.”

Make films for almost nothing?

Interesting. In this deal, though, declarer needs to break down the barriers to get to the dummy. How can he do it?

South is in six spades, and West leads the heart queen to South’s ace.

South opens two clubs, strong,

artificial and forcing, then rebids two spades. North responds with two diamonds, typically 0-7 points, then rebids with a double negative, two notrump or three clubs, according to partnership preference, to show 0-4 points. South, out of ideas, takes a shot at six spades.

It is easy to get careless. If South immediately cashes his spade ace, he can no longer make the contract. Yes, the 4-0 break is unlucky, but declarer should be looking at 12 tricks via five spades, two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. But to get three diamond tricks, he needs a dummy entry. He must use dummy’s spade eight.

At trick two, South should lead his spade jack. East ought to play low. But then declarer unblocks (cashes) his two diamond winners before leading the spade 10.

If East ducks again, South has no spade loser and is home. Or if East takes the trick and, say, returns a heart, declarer wins in his hand, leads his low spade to dummy’s eight, discards his last heart on the diamond queen, ruffs a heart, draws East’s final trump and claims.
