Prepare to cheer Sawdust Theatre returns for more melodrama merriment BY TIM NOVOTNY The World
COQUILLE — Fun is once again the name of the game at the Sawdust Theatre in Coquille, as dozens of volunteers get set to take the stage for the theatre’s 48th summer season of melodrama shows. The melodrama is a type of performance that dates back to the early 1800s. According to Sawdusters’ website, it is the creation of “a perfect blend of music (melody) and drama.” This year that blend will be on display, starting in June, with the opening of “The Colossal Cranberry Caper” or “Boondoggled In the Bog,” written by Sawduster Janet Bowen. While the musical Olios are directed by Becca Jones and Maureen March, Becky Capps is back for third time to direct the play. She says, admittedly, the general construction of the play is very similar to the other 47 they have performed. “Well, you know, (in a melodrama) your plays are basically all the same,” Capps said Monday night, during media night at the theatre. “Good overcomes evil every time; with just a little help from the crowd.”
COOS BAY — With some hesitation, the Coos Bay City Council backed the city’s membership in the South Coast Community Foundation. The council unanimously approved the city’s SCCF membership at its meeting Tuesday night, as well as ratifying SCCF’s amended bylaws and approving the three initial directors: Bill Lansing, John Whitty and Joanne Verger. The vote was followed by a round of applause from the packed council chambers, echoing 10 earlier statements of support from the public. But councilor Mark Daily still had reservations. Only a majority vote of the members — the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend, Coos County, and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay — can amend SCCF’s bylaws. That should require a unanimous vote, he said. “I think it should stay unanimous because it’s being formed by a unanimous decision, not by a majority,” he said. Councilor Jennifer Groth, who serves on the Community
Enhancement Plan work group that revised SCCF’s bylaws, said the group went with the “majority vote” approach so one member entity could not, in essence, “hold the group hostage.” Councilor John Muenchrath wasn’t convinced. “You talk about tyranny of the minority, but you can also have tyranny of the majority,” he said. “There should be a high bar to change the bylaws. This is like a constitution.” Mayor Crystal Shoji said the bylaws as they stand now are “something we can live with.” “We can keep tweaking it forever, but nothing is ever perfect, and ... sometimes you miss an opportunity because you’re so busy getting everything perfect,” she said. Daily wants local school boards to have representation in SCCF, since they know “what the actual need is” in area schools. He also wondered why the bylaws only set open meetings and records rules guided by Oregon law, rather than simply adopting the specific Oregon Revised Statutes. “The reason the bylaws don’t

Marisol O’Brien, left, plays Purity Pureheart, the heroine and her Laurie Kreutzer plays her mother, Widow Pureheart, in this scene from “The Colossal Cranberry Caper” or “Boondoggled in the Bog” at the Sawdust Theatre this summer. Other actors playing the roles are Debbie Clemons as the widow and Carrie Hollcroft as Purity. Middle, Becky Capps is the director for this year’s production. Ah, yes, the crowd. Far from the usual decorum expected in a performance theater, these shows literally beg for audience participation. Booing the villain, swooning for the damsel in distress, and even yelling helpful suggestions to the characters is expected, and adds to the enjoyment of the performance. Each character in the play is double-cast, so all summer long a variety of combinations per-
form. Regardless of the combination, though, the cast will be comprised of volunteers; many of whom started out as fans who watched for years from the Sawduster’s seats. Jesse Knudsen is one of those actors. This year he is playing the hero, Chester A. Goodguy, in just his second year on stage. SEE SAWDUSTERS | A8
COQUILLE — There is no rush for a decision. And, change the amended bylaws. That was the outcry at Tuesday’s regular board of commissioners meeting during the citizen comments period regarding the South Coast Community Foundation. More than a dozen residents voiced concern over the SCCF, a nonprofit organization established to manage half of the community service fees the Jordan Cove Energy Project would pay if it gets federal and state permits and if it receives a long-term property tax exemption. “It doesn’t matter what the bylaws say, you’re still negotiating with the devil,” said Rob Taylor, member of the Coos County

Watchdog group. Also under contention was that Commissioners John Sweet and Melissa Cribbins approved the SCCF during a work session on Friday, when the county might have up to two years to make a decision. It was unclear if that was the case. Cribbins and Commissioner Bob Main directed Callen Sterling, assistant county counsel, to check how long the county had to decide. Sterling said she was in the process SEE SCCF | A8

of an apartment on Hemlock Avenue where Jesse Hayes was beaten to death in February 2013. Three men — Jesse Longhenry, George Ivanoff and Michael Gertson — were initially charged with murder in Hayes’ death. All eventually pleaded guilty to various degrees of manslaughter. Investigators eventually determined that Longhenry had attacked Hayes after an argument. After the attack stopped, Gertson and Ivanoff escalated the level of violence, ultimately leading to Hayes’ death. The DA had previously told The World that the owner of the apartment, then unnamed, had helped drag Hayes’ body from the building.
“There is no evidence he was actually involved in the death of Hayes,” Frasier said in a March 2013 interview. Frasier confirmed Tuesday that Gordon’s charges stem from his alleged role in concealing Hayes’ body and moving it to a location behind a warehouse on South Seventh Street, where it was eventually discovered by Coos Bay police. If convicted of second-degree abuse of a corpse, a Class C felony, Gordon faces a maximum of five years in prison.

REEDSPORT — The Oregon Government Ethics Commission acknowledged it has received a complaint against a Reedsport school board member. “I can confirm that a complaint was received against Brian Thornton,” agency spokeswoman Diane Gould said. the to According agency’s website, the complaint, case number 14-122EDG, was received April 15 and the complainer is James Hixenbaugh, the Reedsport School District’s former athletic director. The nature of the complaint will not be released unless there is further action. Thornton did not respond to an email request from The Umpqua Post for more information. Thornton was elected to the school board in 2011, and his four-year term will expire next year, unless he chooses to run for re-election. Commission procedures allow for the filing of a complaint and a preliminary review of that complaint by Executive Director Ronald Bersin. If he decides the case requires further review, and is in the ethics commission jurisdiction, he can ask the commission to review it. The preliminary review lasts for 135 days and Bersin will file a preliminary review report. The report will go to the commission, which will decide at a future meeting whether to dismiss the complaint or move forward with an investigation. The commission is expected to review the case at the Aug. 8 meeting.

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

My concern is that the county commissioners have yet to show any leadership and demand the present SCCF shall adopt state public meeting laws and proper by-laws and the county commissioners shall appoint the four members to the SCCF. Veterans, it’s time to vote, the direction of county government is headed in a direction that has political groups in the driver’s seat and the average citizen is out. Why in the world would we allow 10% of the voters control 90% of the population? We have more than enough votes to change the direction of county government and make it work for all of us. If you know people who think their vote does not count, try to get them to vote, it counts this time. I would like to suggest two names:

Murrelets are latest proxies in forest fights The latest development in the conflict between industrial forestry and conservationists is an April 21 lawsuit to block logging in part of Elliott State Forest. Although this particular lawsuit is premised on a different legal theory, the possible presence of murrelets severely impacts the marketability of 2,700 acres of the forest. An appraiser said the land is worth $4 million with murrelets, $22 million without. Valuing forests based on what their trees sell for is a fundamental problem for preservationists, who argue for a much broader understanding of how intact old forests have a wide array of nonmonetary merit. But society also has a legitimate interest in providing necessary public income for government functions including schools, along with jobs and economic opportunities in rural areas of the Pacific Northwest. For many Oregon counties, trees are the primary natural resource. One partial solution to these conflicts is to develop better ways of selectively harvesting trees, while leaving their surroundings largely intact. But experts are generally in agreement that doing so in an economically viable way depends on technology that is still decades away from reality. In the meantime, we must work within a system that many residents regard as broken. Forest conservation plans are drafted by agen-

Oregon deserved better from Cover Oregon program We’ve already devoted time in this space and on this page to the debacle that is the state’s online health exchange network. Yet, the news Friday that Oregon officials were turning over the beleaguered system to the federal government, in what can only be seen as an admission of abject failure, punctuates the discouraging aspects of the entire episode. Already the federal government has launched an investigation into the exchange and an independent probe pushed by Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber discovered that officials did not adequately note technical problems. The probe also asserted that the contractor hired to build the site did not do a very good job.
All of this, in the end, leads even the most disinterested observer to conclude that the entire process was a discouraging exhibit of good intentions gone horribly awry and total lack of oversight. Now it is important that the lessons learned in this debacle not be forgotten. There is enough blame to go around on this particular issue and in a political season it is easy to find fault. Still, what is more important now is not the fact the system failed, but what measures will officials use in the future to ensure such fiascoes do not occur again. The (La Grande) Observer
Reforms missed health care capacity issues Look past the mess of the Cover Oregon website and it’s easy to find another Oregon health care mess. We’ve all heard about patients being upset they can’t keep their doctors. But some of neediest Oregonians are finding it hard to find a doctor.
Getting doctors to see Medicaid patients was a problem long before the recent health care reforms. Doctors worry about being fairly compensated for their work just like everybody else. And when they knew they would have to subsidize Medicaid patients with patients on private insurance, it put them in a bind. Then came the health care reforms. Thousands more people were added to Medicaid. The Central Oregon Coordinated Care Organization responsible for the patients was expected to get some 8,000 new patients. It has seen at least 14,000 more. And while efforts have been made to increase Medicaid compensation, the flood of patients and the compensation issue have led to some Central Oregon doctors declining to take new OHP patients and even sending existing ones away. Health care reformers knew something like this might happen. When more people suddenly get insurance, it’s only logical that there would be capacity problems. When we spoke to Gov. John Kitzhaber the other day about the federal reforms and Oregon’s experiment with CCOs, he said he is hopeful they will improve care and hold down costs. But while those reforms did not create the capacity problems, they reinforced them and have not done enough to solve them. The (Bend) Bulletin
Marshfield legend visits home You can’t necessarily tell someone is a legend when you first meet them. Usually, other people have to tell you. Marshfield High teacher Jeff Eberwein had to tell me who Elgen Long was. Then I did some research and realized I was going to meet an honest-to-God aviation pioneer Monday afternoon along with the students in Eberwein’s aviation history class. Long was coming home, in a sense. He’s a Marshfield alumnus,but didn’t graduate with his class. Instead, he joined the Navy right after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was 15 years old; his parents signed him in. Long became a radio operator first, then a navigator. From 1942-46 flew on more than 100 combat missions in seaplanes during World War II. After the war, he participated in refugee rescue missions, including the first of what became Operation Magic Carpet, of hundreds flying Yemenite Jews to Israel. Then he joined Flying LARRY Tiger Lines, starting as a CAMPBELL radio operator, and eventually becoming a pilot, Executive Editor captain and check pilot, retiring as captain of Boeing 747s. Long is probably best known among aviation enthusiasts for his round-the-world flight in 1971 over the poles. No one had ever done it before, and he did it in a small aircraft, a twin-engine Piper Navajo. He set 15 world records on that trip, including becoming the first man to fly solo across the continent of Antarctica. His adventures didn’t stop there. For more than three decades he’s been looking for Amelia Earhart, who, with her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared in her historic 1937 flight around the globe. Noonan and Long were fellow navigator students. And Long believes he knows right where Earhart’s Lockheed Electra went — into the Pacific, near Howland Island, where she crashed and sank. He’s written a book about it. He was also technical advisor for the Hollywood film, “Amelia.” And at 87 years old, he still hasn’t slowed down much. He was consulted recently concerning the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370. He and his wife, Kay, still make appearances around the country, like there were doing Monday afternoon in Eberwein’s class. The students seemed genuinely enthused with their guest. They asked him about Antarctica and his polar flight, and what he liked best about flying in general (“The adventure,” he told them, his eyes beaming). In fact, Long is such an inspiration that a previous class of Eberwien’s nominated him for induction into the Oregon Aviation Hall of Honor at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville. He was inducted in 2013. Bringing forward Long's nomination says something about the students who chose Eberwein's elective class, too. A teen chooses an elective because they're already interested in the topic.That's why the classroom is plastered with posters of aircraft – from small prop planes to jumbo jets. Model planes built by the students sit atop a filing cabinet. These students have a budding passion for flight. Exactly the kind of audience that appreciates a guest like Long, especially when he's a fellow Pirate. Oh, and Long did eventually get his Marshfield diploma — in 2010. So, when he is inducted into the school’s Heritage Hall (when it’s completed hopefully later this year), he will be a bona fide graduate. A lot of accomplishments for one person in one lifetime. But remember, once a Pirate …
Letters to the Editor ‘Extractors’ get the job done John Quoting from Zimmerman’s letter to the editor April 7: “Oregon’s South Coast economy has been based on ‘extraction’ of natural resources; there has been no need for more than a high school education (if that) in order to make a reasonable living. Those days are over, but developing an intelligence based alternative has never materialized. The result is a broadly ignorant, apathetic, cynical, atomized public.” I beg to differ with his characterization of us who “extract” natural resources, specifically the timber industry with which I’m familiar. We are composed of timberland owners and managers, logging company owners, road construction contractors, foresters, truckers, surveyors, engineers, GIS specialists, log buyers, accountants, cruisers, mechanics, hook tenders, rigging
slingers, choker men and more. Many of us have university degrees but that does not necessarily make us any more educated and intelligent than those in the industry that don’t. I would like to see if Mr. Zimmerman is smart enough to figure out the physics involved in setting the guy lines on a 90-foot yarder tower so that it could support a 20-ton load suspended 100 feet in the air out over 2,000 feet. Hook tenders do that. Rigging slingers and choker men can estimate the weight and proper orientation of a load to meet capacity. An owner of a single logging unit may have a $4 million investment with a $5,500 a day operating cost to manage. The mechanic lying on his back in the freezing mud at 4 a.m., under a $450,000 log processor, studying a very complex manual and perhaps computer system, is certainly not the dummy described above. Personally buying a $120,000 log truck,
operating and maintaining it, plus managing the business is no simple feat. Incidentally, trees are no longer “extracted” but harvested, having been planted and nurtured for 40 years while paying property taxes annually. I came from a prestigious university in the mid-West to Coos Bay some 40 years ago thinking I was educated enough to be in this business. I was not. I have received my education from the smart, educated, hard-working people in the business of “extracting” those natural resources. I have great respect for all of them, from the tree planter and choker man to the timberland investor, but especially those who are out there in the forest everyday getting the work done.

Zonta school program grateful
The Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area would like to thank the Bay Area Rotary Club for selecting Zonta’s Little Red Schoolhouse Program as a recipient of funds for the 2014 Wine Walk series. We are thrilled to be part of such a successful event; the Wine Walk allows the community to gather together, see local businesses, and learn about valuable service programs, all at the same time. The proceeds from Zonta’s participation in the Wine Walk will help kids who need school supplies on the first day of school get off on the right foot, regardless of income. Zonta has provided supplies to all elementary schools in Coos County since 1998, helping thousands of students along the way. We are grateful to our community for your unfailing support of great community events and worthwhile programs to help our youngest citizens. Deb Lal Coos Bay
School nurses serve kids every day BY KAREN BROWN RN, ANGELA NETTLES RN, BSN AND HEIDI BANKS RN, BSN On May 7, the National School Nurse Association and Oregon School Nurse Association recognize our school nurses by celebrating National School Nurse Day as a way to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. The theme this year is, “The School Nurse: Caring for Others. Caring for Ourselves.” Parents should be able to send their children to school with the peace of mind that they will remain safe, healthy and ready to learn. Given that today’s children face more chronic health illnesses (e.g. asthma, diabetes, food allergies, etc.) than ever before, we take our roles as licensed, professional school nurses very seriously. We are grateful for the teachers, administrators, and professional support staff with whom we work each day who help to create a healthy learning environment for every child in our school district. Our knowledge, assessment skills and judgment help ensure we can provide quali-
Your Views ty health care to children. As school nurses at Coos Bay Schools, we take on a variety of roles every day. For many children, we are the only health professional they may have access to, except in emergencies. This becomes even more important as the prevalence of chronic social, emotional and other health problems keep increasing. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), asthma is the leading chronic illness among children and adolescents in the United States. On average, in a classroom of 30 children, about three are likely to have asthma. Further, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Today, approximately one in every 400 children and adolescents has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. According to a study released in 2013 by the CDC, food allergies among children increased approximately 50
percent between 1997 and 2011. The CDC reports that food allergies are a growing food safety and public health concern that affect as estimated 4-6 percent of children in the United States. Registered nurses triage, develop, implement and monitor individual health plans on students and the numbers have been climbing over the past years. It seems like common sense that healthier students are better learners. And evidence-based research in fields ranging from neuroscience and child development to epidemiology and public health support this argument. Our elected officials must invest in programs and services that seek to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of all children. Oregon currently ranks by states 42th for one nurse to 2,128 students. HB 2693 established ORS 336.201, the Oregon school nurse ratio of 1:750 well students by 2020. If nursing continues to be
funded out of education’s money with no additional provisions the shortage will remain for our state. We need local stakeholders like CCO: Western Oregon Advanced Health, Bay Area Hospital and local clinics to work with schools in funding school nursing in this county. Registered nurses are on site to do client assessments, medication management and follow ups assessments to appointments or hospitalization on our county children. We are very fortunate to have school district support and experienced registered nurses on site for CBSD children. As our local stakeholders (Coos Bay and North Bend School district Boards and Superintendents) make funding decisions for next year, we hope their budget reflects the required priorities - ensuring our children have a medically safe, productive and successful, healthy future. Karen Brown RN; Angela Nettles RN, BSN; and Heidi Banks RN, BSN; are nurses with the Coos Bay School District. Brown is the Oregon State School Nurse of the Year 2014/2015.

State ‘Twerking’ isn’t dangerous, just the latest dance fad DEAR ABBY: I’m the happily married mother of two teenage boys. The other day I overheard my older son (age 17) talking with a friend a b o u t “twerking.” DEAR I have never heard of it and now I’m worried. Is twerking a drug term? Is it similar to “tripp i n g ,” “getting JEANNE high” or PHILLIPS “ c a t f i s h ing”? My 17year-old is supposed to go to Princeton next year on a sports scholarship, and I’m afraid “twerking” will derail him from his charted path. Thank you for any advice you may have. — TROUBLED MOM IN CONNECTICUT DEAR MOM: Don’t panic. “Tripping” and “getting high,” as you already know, refer to altered states of consciousness as the result of using drugs. “Catfishing” is something else. It’s pretending to be someone you aren’t, creating a false identity on social media, usually to pursue a deceptive online romance. The “twerking” your son was referring to is a dance move recently made famous by Miley Cyrus — in which the dancer (usually female) gyrates in a provocative, semi-squatting position that involves thrusting hip movements. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are not big fans of his best friend’s wife. “Aracely” is extremely ill-mannered. She never says thank you, didn’t even write thank-you notes for their wedding and baby showers, and when we’re at a restaurant will loudly announce that the food was “disgusting.” Aracely claims our baby “cries too much.” She arrived at my son’s second birthday party with a hangover and so much more. She claims she our doesn’t observe “Southern ways” because she comes from South America and has been in the United States for only eight years. We keep our interactions with her limited, but do not cut her off completely because my husband values his friendship with her husband. I told my husband I’m considering giving her an etiquette book, but he said it would be rude. I disagree.I think it would nullify Aracely’s argument that she doesn’t understand our “Southern” manners. Do you agree that it would be rude? — MANNERED SOUTHERN GAL DEAR SOUTHERN GAL: Sorry, but I do agree, because the gift would be given with malicious intent, and I’m pretty sure that while Aracely lacks polish, she isn’t stupid. Her problem isn’t that she doesn’t understand good manners because she’s from South America. I have met individuals from South America who are educated, cultured and whose manners are refined. Obviously, Aracely does not come from this kind of background. ONLY if you could pull it off without sounding catty, the next time she hauls out the excuse for her deplorable manners, you might “offer” to buy her an etiquette book “so she can learn the ways of her adopted country” — but don’t expect her to take you up on it. DEAR ABBY: Would it be appropriate to send my future mother-in-law a Mother’s Day card? I feel it would be a nice gesture to help start the relationship between us. — NICK IN OMAHA DEAR NICK: I concur. In fact, I suspect it will melt her heart to know you feel that way about her, even before you marry her daughter. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Scenic McKenzie Pass to open June 16 SISTERS (AP) — Oregon Department of Transportation crews expect to reopen McKenzie Pass on the old McKenzie Highway on June 16. KVAL reports crews are plowing from both sides — one from the Santiam Pass office and one from Sisters. The 30-mile scenic byway on Highway 242 is known for majestic waterfalls and old growth forests. Snow closes the 5,335foot McKenzie Pass for seven months out of the year.
Cover Oregon special session unnecessary SALEM (AP) — Lawyers for the state Department of Justice say Cover Oregon doesn’t need the Legislature’s approval to ditch its technology and switch to the federally run enrollment website. The opinion is outlined in a memo released Tuesday by Gov. John Kitzhaber’s office. It contradicts an analysis written last week by legisla-
tive-branch lawyers, who said only the Legislature can make such a change. The previous legal opinion had raised the specter of a special session, which Cover Oregon officials now say is unnecessary. Cover Oregon’s interim managers on Tuesday presented their technology transition plans to a legislative committee. They say some software can be salvaged to enroll Oregonians in Medicaid.
Temporary park signs warn about coyote CORVALLIS (AP) — After two hikers called 911 to report an aggressive coyote at a Corvallis park, new temporary warning signs have been posted at Bald Hill Park.

Deputies looking for memorial flags BANKS (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies in Washington County, are trying to locate two flags believed stolen from a flag pole at a World War II memorial site near the town of Banks. Missing are a U.S. flag and the flag of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. World War II vet Jim Bray helps maintain the memorial site along U.S. Highway 26. He and his wife stopped on April 24 and reported the flagpole
was bare. The 88-year-old Bray tells The Oregonian he was part of the 10th Mountain Division, which emphasized mountain warfare. Sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Ray says his office is hoping for help from the public in locating the flags. The 10th Mountain Division flag has red, white and blue stripes with a logo displaying two red swords crossed over each other on a blue background with a white outline. “Climb to glory,” in yellow lettering and “Mountain” written in white are above the logo.
Prison escapee’s bloody clothes found MADRAS (AP) — Bloody clothes that apparently belonged to a Deer Ridge prison escapee were found in an empty lot in downtown Madras. Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins told KTVZ the blood will be compared with blood found in a stolen car and
on a fence at the Deer Ridge Correctional Institution where Clinton Orvill Swearingen escaped Sunday. Police are still looking for the 31-year-old who had been serving time on theft and burglary convictions in Linn County.
Bike mural too big, must come down PORTLAND (AP) — The owner of Pedal Bike Tours in Portland has been ordered to remove a mural tourists love to photograph that reads, “Welcome to America’s Bicycle Capital.” The city says it’s too big. Owner Todd Roll tells KOIN he and his wife painted the mural in 2012 and thought it was allowed because there had been a sign there previously. But the Bureau of Development says he needs a permit. So, the 1,650square- foot mural has to go. And, a new sign can be no larger than 300 square feet.

days before his 88th birthday. Born in Marshfield in 1926 — Chap was the third of four children of Margarete and Richard McCarthy. Chap was a lifelong resident of Coos County. He graduated from Marshfield High School, Class of 1944 and was inducted into the Marshfield Hall of Fame as part of the 1942 State CoChampionship football team. After graduation he “had a date with U n c l e Sam” to fight in World War Chap II. joined the U.S. Army and was soon shipped overseas. As was often the case, the time between boot camp and the heat of the battle was very short. He completed training and was sent directly to the front lines in Okinawa as part of the 96th “Deadeyes” Infantry
Division. While serving as a replacement soldier, Chap saw fierce combat and was wounded in May 1945. He received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for heroic actions. As said by Maj. Gen. James Bradley, “His coolness under fire, devotion to duty and courage was instrumental in saving of a man’s life.” He was honored to have served his country. After the war, Chap came back to his home state and, through the GI Bill, attended University of Oregon and graduated with a degree in business. After graduation and the death of his older brother John, Chap returned to Coos Bay to take over the family logging business. McCarthy Brothers Logging became a prominent company in the area and he was proud of his work as a business owner in the community he loved.

the last remaining gyppo loggers and cared deeply for the families who worked for the company. His dedication carried into his family life as well. Chap married Lucille Bellinger Stamper in 1964. He happily became an instant father to the four Stamper children, and he and Lucille had one child together. Several years after Lucille’s death, Chap married Dortha Chase Williams who brought two children to the clan. Together they had one child who completed their family of McCarthys, Stampers, and Williams. He was devoted to the wellbeing of all of his children and never wavered in his commitment to his family. When he wasn’t in the woods or at home with family, he could often be found hunting or fishing with friends, working the ranch in McKinley, or bidding on livestock at the Coos County Fair to help out the 4-H kids. eventually Chappy “retired” in the 1990s. However, as only a lifelong logger could do — he still spent most of his days in the woods working on the company with his son, John. He embraced a few new hobbies later in life including raising cattle, becoming an avid historian on all things about World War II, traveling and spending time with his grandchildren. Chap will be remembered as a selfless family man, a logger, a businessman and a story teller; he touched many lives. More than anything, he loved his family, and he felt blessed by their love and affection. Chap is survived by his sister, Virginia McCarthy

Fishermen badly burned in the Pacific SAN DIEGO (AP) — Two Chinese fishermen rescued from the Pacific are alert and trying to communicate after suffering second- and thirddegree burns from an explosion on their vessel far off Mexico’s coast, a San Diego surgeon said Tuesday, less than 24 hours after they were airlifted to California. The men — who asked not to be identified — were in critical but stable condition and were being evaluated to see if they require surgery or can go home within the week, said Dr. Raul Coimbra, chief of trauma surgery at the regional burn center at the University of California, San Diego. Doctors found no trauma injuries and the burns are not life-threatening, Coimbra said, adding that they cover the upper and lower extremities. One man is about 20 percent covered
in burns, and the other is about 8 percent covered. He said the men, who are in their 30s, also suffered injuries from smoke inhalation. The two were among 17 crew members believed aboard a Chinese fishing vessel that caught fire after an explosion and sank about 1,100 miles off Mexico’s Baja peninsula.

White House offers to show senators drone memo WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to head off another confirmation battle,the White House said Tuesday that it will allow senators to review a secret paper justifying the drone strike on an American citizen written by one of President Barack Obama’s appellate court nominees. The White House is hoping the memo’s disclosure will lead to confirmation of David Barron for the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston. Barron is a Harvard Law professor who had worked as acting assistant attorney general at the Justice Department on the case of Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaida American-born leader killed by a U.S. drone
in 2011. Some legal scholars and human rights activists argue it was illegal for the U.S. to kill American citizens away from the battlefield without a trial. The American Civil Liberties Union wrote a letter to senators on Monday, urging them to delay Barron’s confirmation vote until all senators review memos he wrote on the drone program. Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky also is trying to block Barron’s confirmation, barring public release of a redacted version al-Awlaki memo, by virtue of a court order. Paul last year held up the nomination of CIA Director John Brennan until the admin-
istration agreed to release more information about its drone policy. And other Obama nominees, including the president’s picks for surgeon general and chief civil rights attorney, have failed to win confirmation this year in the Democratic-controlled Senate amid controversy raised by interest groups. In Barron’s case, the White House quickly responded to the ACLU by offering to show senators an unredacted copy of the 41-page memo he authored July 16, 2010, which argues that targeted killing of an American citizen overseas does not violate the Constitution. White House spokesman Eric Schultz noted that mem-
bers of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which advanced Barron’s nomination on a party-line vote, already had access to the memo. Schultz expressed confidence that Barron would be confirmed and “bring outstanding credentials, legal expertise and dedication to the rule of law to the federal bench.” “The administration is working to ensure that any remaining questions members of the Senate have about Barron’s legal work at the Department of Justice are addressed, including making available in a classified setting a copy of the al-Awlaki opinion to any senator who wishes to review it prior to Barron’s confirmation vote,”
Schultz said. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled last month that the Obama administration must publicly disclose a redacted version of the memo. The administration is considering whether to appeal the ruling. Chris Anders, the ACLU’s senior legislative counsel, said Barron reportedly signed at least two memos on the drone program and that all his opinions should be revealed to senators, not just the one. “This is shortchanging senators who should be getting information that they need to review before voting on a lifetime appointment,” Anders said.

Alibaba prepares for blockbuster US sale. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Alibaba Group, the king of ecommerce in China, is dangling a deal that could turn into one of the biggest IPOs in history. In a long-awaited move Tuesday, Alibaba filed for an initial public offering of stock in the U.S. that could surpass the $16 billion that Facebook and its early investors raised in the social networking company’s IPO two years ago. Alibaba’s paperwork says it will raise at least $1 billion, but finance professionals believe that is a notional figure to get the IPO process rolling and say that the Chinese company’s ambitions for the share sale are much richer.
GOP examines claim of blocking probes WASHINGTON (AP) — An office run by President Barack Obama’s political staff inside the EPA has blocked investigations by the independent inspector general’s office by systematically refusing to share information, a top investigator told Congress on Wednesday. The assistant EPA inspecfor general tor investigations, Patrick Sullivan, said the 10-person Office of Homeland Security within the agency has for years blocked the inspector general’s office from information by citing national security concerns and compelling employees to sign non-disclosure agreements. Sullivan testified Wednesday before a House oversight committee about the activities of the little-known office within EPA.
Point man on Benghazi is seasoned prosecutor WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Trey Gowdy, the Republicans’ newest point man on the Benghazi attack, is a seasoned prosecutor determined to apply his well-honed courtroom skills to an election-year examination of the Obama administration’s actions. Tapped by House Speaker John Boehner, the two-term South Carolina congressman will lead a special select committee investigating the chaotic night of Sept. 11, extremists when 2012, attacked the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Libya, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Multiple independent and bipartisan investigations have faulted the State Department for inadequate security at the mission and the military’s lack of assets in the region. Yet the inquiries have failed to quiet the much-publicized aftermath, with Republicans vehemently insisting that the administration sought to downplay a terror attack just weeks before the presidential election. Two years later, Benghazi resonates with Republicans, who demand accountability former Obama, from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other administration officials. It remains a rallying cry with conservatives whose votes are crucial to the GOP in November’s historically lowturnout midterm elections. Republicans are expected to force a vote Thursday to establish the select committee despite Democratic objections that it’s unnecessary. It remains to be seen whether Democrats decide to boycott the panel.

World Syrian rebels begin evacuating the city of Homs BEIRUT (AP) — Hundreds of Syrian rebels on Wednesday began evacuating their last bastions in the central city of Homs under a ceasefire deal struck last week with government forces, opposition activists and the city’s governor said. The exit of some 1,200 fighters from rebel strongholds in Homs will mark a de-facto end of the rebellion The Associated Press in the battered city, which South Africans form a long queue to vote at a polling station in Alexandra, north of Johannesburg, South Africa, on Wednesday. South Africa goes was one of the first places to to the polls on Wednesday, May 7, 2014. South Africa goes to the polls Wednesday in elections that are likely to see the ruling African National rise up against President Bashar Assad’s rule, earning Congress (ANC) party return to power with a smaller majority due to voters disaffected by corruption in government and economic inequality. its nickname as “the capital of the revolution.”
South Africans vote; ruling party favored JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans voted Wednesday in elections that are expected to see the ruling African National Congress return to power despite a vigorous challenge from opposition parties seeking to capitalize on discontent with corruption and economic inequality. Many people lined up before polling stations opened at 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) for the fifth all-race elections in South Africa since the end of white minority rule in 1994. Polls close at 9 p.m. (1900 GMT) and the first results were expected around midnight (2200 GMT). South Africa’s election commission said it would declare final results no earlier than Saturday, allowing time to address any objections to the
process. Some 22,000 voting stations were operating at schools, places of worship, tribal authority sites and hospitals, and several dozen vehicles serving as mobile voting stations were heading to remote areas. About 25 million South Africans, roughly half the population, have registered to vote in the parliamentary elections that will also determine the president. The government urged South Africans, particularly young people with the opportunity to vote for the first time, to go to the polls early to avoid bottlenecks later in the day. Wednesday was declared a public holiday to encourage voting. Nearly 2,000 military personnel are assisting police to make sure that the elections
are peaceful around the country. Retired archbishop Desmond Tutu cast his vote in Cape Town and said South Africans should be thankful that they can vote peacefully. “I’m thinking of Ukraine. I’m thinking of South Sudan, you know, all of those things happening there,” the South African Press Association quoted Tutu as saying. Recalling the violent struggle against white minority rule that brought about the country’s democracy, he said: “People were imprisoned. People suffered. So we mustn’t waste it. We must keep remembering we got this at a very great price.” The African National Congress, which led the fight against apartheid, has dominated politics since Nelson Mandela was elected as
South Africa’s first black president in 1994. On the ruling party’s watch, millions of people have gained access to water and other basic services, but protests routinely erupt in areas where residents say the government has ignored their needs. There is also increasing concern about corruption. President Jacob Zuma has become enmeshed in a scandal surrounding more than $20 million in state spending on his private home in the Nklanda area, though he denies any wrongdoing and has promised to work against graft. Zuma voted Wednesday after standing in line at a primary school in Nkandla, urging other South Africans to do the same because it was “probably the most important thing to do in this democracy.”
Cuba arrests 4 exiles, alleges terror plot HAVANA (AP) — Four Cuban exile residents of Miami were detained on the island and accused of planning “terrorist actions,” Havana authorities said Wednesday. In a statement published by Communist Party newspaper Granma, the Interior Ministry said the men were arrested April 26 and alleged
their targets were military. “They intended to attack military installations with the objective of furthering violent actions,” the statement said. “To such ends, since mid-2013, three of them had made several trips to the island to study and carry out their plan.” The statement named the detained men as Jose Ortega
Amador, Obdulio Rodriguez Gonzalez, Raibel Pacheco Santos and Felix Monzon Alvarez. It said they were operating under the direction of others in Florida purportedly linked to Luis Posada Carriles, who is alleged to have been behind a 1976 airliner bombing that killed 73 people aboard a flight bound for
Cuba. The Interior Ministry said it was reaching out to U.S. authorities to investigate. An official at the U.S. Interests Section, which Washington maintains in Cuba instead of an embassy because the two countries do not have diplomatic relations, had no immediate comment.
Troops have pulled back from border MOSCOW (AP) — Russia has pulled back its troops from the Ukrainian border, Vladimir Putin told diplomats Wednesday as he urged insurgents in southeastern Ukraine to postpone their planned referendum Sunday on autonomy. In a Moscow meeting with Swiss president Didier Burkhalter, Putin said the Russian troops have been pulled back to their training grounds and locations for “regular exercises,” but didn’t specify whether those locations were in areas near Ukraine.
Court forces out Thai prime minister BANGKOK (AP) — A court ousted Thailand’s prime minister on Wednesday for abuse of power, accomplishing what anti-government demonstrators have sought to do for the past six months and further widening the country’s sharp political divide. Deposed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s supporters called a massive rally for Saturday on Bangkok’s outskirts to protest the ruling. The leader of the anti-government protesters, Suthep Thaugsuban, meanwhile, told his followers that they would stage a “final offensive” on Friday and would achieve their goal of fully ousting the government.
WORLD D I G E S T Hundreds killed in Nigerian attack LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Islamic militants killed hundreds of people in an attack on a border town in Nigeria’s remote northeast, a state government official said Thursday. Shops and homes were set ablaze and razed in the attack Monday night on Gamboru Ngala, on Nigeria’s border with Cameroon, Borno state information commissioner Mohammed Bulama told The Associated Press by telephone.
PM says won’t seek more bailout money ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister says the debt-strapped country will not ask for any additional bailout money and hopes to begin abolishing austerity taxes later this year. In an interview with private Antenna television, Antonis Samaras said Tuesday that Greece would not seek additional support beyond the $335 billion already granted in bailout packages from other euro zone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
848 priests defrocked for abuse since ’04 GENEVA (AP) — The Vatican revealed Tuesday that over the past decade, it has defrocked 848 priests who raped or molested children and sanctioned another 2,572 with lesser penalties, providing the first ever breakdown of how it handled the more than 3,400 cases of abuse reported to the Holy See since 2004. U.N. The Vatican’s ambassador in Geneva, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, released the figures during a second day of grilling by a U.N. committee monitoring implementation of the U.N. treaty against torture.

COOS BAY Council must now appoint rep Continued from Page A1 include open meetings law is, the thought was if you make it look too much like a government entity, there could be (education funding) clawback from the state,” said City Manager Rodger Craddock. Daily was hesitant to cheer the city’s SCCF membership since the city will represent one-seventh of the SCCF board of directors (three initial directors, plus one representative of each of the four members). “We tend to get into relationships with community partners where we’re either putting up the lion’s share of the money and only getting a partial vote, or we’re getting into a situation where we’re truly an equal partner but we don’t get equal representation,” Daily said. “In some respects, that’s what’s happening here. “The three original members were appointed by or asked to join by the Port. Now the Port gets to appoint another member. Initially, for the first probably five years of this thing, it’s going
to be controlled by the Port, who will have essentially four (representatives on the board of directors).” The council now has to appoint a representative to serve on the SCCF board, though Coos Bay school board chair James Martin is already being eyed as a possible candidate. Coos Bay City Council’s decision follows an unofficial vote of approval by Coos County commissioners Friday to do the same. Melissa Commissioner Cribbins said the official vote needs to take place at a regular meeting, which is scheduled for May 20. Since the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay and North Bend City Council already approved their SCCF membership in March, now both entities only need to appoint their representative to the SCCF board. The North Bend City Council has tentatively set its May 13 meeting for this decision; the Port has done the same for its May 15 meeting.

How Gov. Kitzhaber got involved in CPR rescue PORTLAND (AP) — A Portland law firm secretary says she stopped her car and ran to help when she spotted a man trying to revive a limp woman by shaking her. Laura Schmidt, 31, told The Oregonian the man told her the woman had just injected heroin when she fell unconscious late Monday afternoon. Schmidt says she started CPR chest compressions but still the woman was turning blue. “I was asking the Lord for guidance,” Schmidt said — and wondering why no one else had stopped. That’s when the governor of Oregon showed up. Gov. John Kitzhaber said he was on his way to meet friends for dinner when he looked off the edge of the street and saw someone who appeared to be giving CPR. Telling his driver

to stop and his security officers to call 911, the former emergency room doctor and his driver took over from Schmidt. At that point, the governor said, the stricken woman had a pulse but wasn’t breathing. He fitted her with a special “bag valve” mask that delivers oxygen quickly. With additional aid from arriving fire department medics, the woman was breathing on her own when she was taken to a hospital. “I’d venture to say that if I hadn’t come along, we could potentially have lost her,” Kitzhaber told reporters Tuesday. The governor said he hopes the woman gets help. And he said the encounter left him thinking that everyone needs to learn CPR.

Bodie Smith gets some last minute make-up on his beard from Laurie Kreutzer during a rehearsal Monday night at the Sawdust Theatre. Smith is one of two people to play the villain Snidley Slimestone and Kreutzer is one of two playing Widow Pureheart.
SAWDUSTERS Continued from Page A1 “I’d moved back to this area, and I’d been to the Sawdusters before, and I thought it’d be fun to get into and so I tried out,” he said. For Knudsen the secret to their success is simple. “I think (the audience) just likes the silliness.” That silliness is not only what keeps the audiences coming back year after year, but it helps maintain a strong core of volunteers as
SCCF Continued from Page A1 of confirming the timeline of approvals needed for the SCCF. Friday’s decision must be ratified during a regular BOC meeting, which is currently scheduled for May 20. “My opinion is that the decision made in the work session stands until it’s officially changed by the commissioners or ratified by the commissioners,” Cribbins said. “We'll work
well. Leon Brown, one of two Dungeness Dans, will be taking the stage for his fifth time and says it is all about having fun. “I got talked into it and I wondered, what the heck. I did the first year by letting them talk me into it,” Brown chuckled. “Try it and you’ll find out you can do it. Just being able to get in character, and try to stay in character, it’s a lot of fun.” Fun is a repeated word backstage, whether you are talking to the actors, the
Olios dancers, or the crew. But, that doesn’t mean they don’t put in a lot of effort, as well. Capps says every part of directing a Sawduster melodrama is a challenge, but it is also — you guessed it. “Everybody has to be costumed, we have new people, we have seasoned people, it’s just a group of people all working together for one happy goal. Nobody gets paid, so everybody loves what they’re doing and so, therefore, it turns out awesome!”
You can see for yourself just how awesome when the season opens on June 7 and runs through Labor Day. Just remember some of that awesomeness comes from your ability to let loose and boo, hiss and cheer. For more information, visit their website at sawdusttheatre.com. The theatre is located on the corner of 1st and Adams streets. All seats are reserved and are available online, with all shows priced at $12.50. You can also call 541396-4563 for reservations.
with the interim decision until there's a final one.” Main wasn’t present at Friday’s meeting. He said he’d asked Sweet and Cribbins to call him during the meeting, which is legal under Oregon law. “They didn’t call me to ask where I was,” Main said. “It didn’t sit well with me.” He’ll also be gone during the May 20 meeting. Cribbins said she scheduled the meeting Friday based on Sweet’s and Main’s conflicting schedules in the next few weeks. “John (Sweet) gets back
this Friday, then Bob is gone for two weeks. I don't want to schedule a work session to approve this; I don't think that would help. But, I don't want to wait until June. I don't know what my solution is, because I do want Bob (Main) to vote on this,” Cribbins said. Cribbins said Friday’s decision was preliminary. “If county counsel gets back, and says the interim decision stands until it's on the consent agenda, probably what I'll do is wait and put it on the consent agenda when he gets back so every-
body has a chance to get their say.” The proposed fee distribution and management of the SCCF is detailed in a Community Enhancement Plan, which needs approval from four sponsors: North Bend City Council, Coos Bay City Council, Oregon International Port of Coos Bay and Coos County.

Braves rally for victory THE WORLD Reedsport’s baseball team scored two runs with two outs in the seventh inning to rally past Riddle 5-4 in a Class 2A-1A District 4 game Tuesday. Marquece Williams led off Reedsport’s seventh with a single and Joe Hixenbaugh hit into a fielder’s choice. Haden Sams walked and Griffin Kauffman was walked intentionally to load the bases. After a pop-up gave Riddle the second out, Tyler Tresch hit a line drive off Riddle pitcher Kevin Smith to tie the game and Jordan Ragan walked on four straight pitches to bring Sams in with the winning run. The Braves improved to 6-3 in league play and kept their share of second place with Oakland heading into a huge game against the Oakers on Friday. Since Oakland won the first meeting between the teams, Reedsport needs to win Friday to keep the Oakers from having the tiebreaker if the teams end up tied. Griffin Kaufmann pitched a strong game from Reedsport, but also had a two-out throwing error in the top of the seventh that allowed Riddle to score two runs and take the lead. Kaufmann struck out nine batters and walked two, while giving up six hits. Smith had had three of the Riddle hits, including two doubles. Williams was Reedsport’s only player with multiple hits, going 2for-3. Sams scored two runs.

Glide scored three runs in the first inning and Bandon responded with two in the second on a double by Coleton Jackson. But the Tigers had two-out errors in both the fourth and fifth innings that led the way to four runs in each inning as Glide pulled away.

Pirates rout North Bend in softball BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World
COOS BAY — Year one of Far West League softball Civil Wars goes to Marshfield. With oomph. The Pirates sewed up the Civil War season sweep with a resounding 18-2 win in five innings Tuesday at Coos Head Field. Since Marshfield beat the much younger and inexperienced North Bend squad all three times by more than 10 runs, the Bulldogs will have to wait until at least 2015 to beat Marshfield for the first time as league foes since their days in the Midwestern League more than a decade ago. “We were going into it with the mentality that we can’t overlook anybody, especially our rival,” Marshfield head coach Brooke Toy said. “We needed to be ready for

they were doing a good job hitting it to the gaps,” North Bend coach Meghan Thomsen said. The biggest issue for North Bend down the stretch was its morale on defense. The Bulldogs let errors compound on each other and started to visibly look down on themselves as the game wore on. In the fourth inning they committed four of their seven errors, which inevitably snowballed into a six-run inning for the Pirates. “Once (Marshfield) got ahead a little bit, they start to get discouraged and kinda give up a little bit,” Thomsen said, adding that the absence of key players Patience Cook and Ashley Cassel really hurt the Bulldogs on Tuesday. “The last inning, we came back and fought more and that’s the team I like, when they continue to fight.”

North Bend’s Tylan Corder is lifted in the air by Zach Inskeep after Corder walked across home plate in the bottom of the seventh to score the winning run of their game Tuesday afternoon against Marshfield at Clyde Allen Field.
NORTH BEND — A game filled with gritty play and clutch hitting ended with a walk Tuesday. North Bend’s Jared Hampel drew a bases-loaded walk with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Bulldogs a 6-5 win over crosstown rival Marshfield and a sweep of the three-game Civil War series. After the Pirates had tied the score when Andrew Sharp beat out an infield single with two outs in the top of the seventh, the Bulldogs won it without a hit in the bottom half. “We’ll take that,” said North Bend’s Tylan Corder, who was standing on third base when Hampel walked, and strolled home with the game-winner. He led off the inning with a fourpitch walk from Marshfield’s Tyler Campbell and stole second. Jonathan Bennison then reached base on a wild pitch third strike and Hunter Jackson sacrificed the runners over. Marshfield opted to intentionally walk Garrett McCoy to load the bases and bring up Hampel. He fouled the first 3-2 pitch from Campbell into the parking lot before the next one missed the mark. It was a rough way for the game to end for Campbell, who had a solid outing, but was hampered by miscues. He also took a line drive from Corder off his side in the third inning and a grounder from Tyler Laskey off his foot in the fourth, but
stayed in to pitch a complete game. “He pitched a great game,” Corder said, before referring to the two balls that hit Campbell. “He’s tough.” North Bend coach Brad Horning also gave Campbell credit. “Campbell threw real well,” he said. “He’s a hard guy to take good swings at.” The Bulldogs only had six hits off Campbell, including doubles by Corder and Marshall Rice. But they made the most of Marshfield’s few mistakes. In the second inning, Bennison hit a single and Jackson grounded into a fielder’s choice. McCoy walked, but Hampel popped up for the second out. Campbell appeared to get out of the inning by striking out Laskey, but the ball got away from catcher Ben Martin and Jackson scored. Willie Mahr then hit a grounder to second that was misplayed for an error to score McCoy and Rice drilled a double to bring in Laskey. The Bulldogs could have scored more, but Martin threw Mahr out at the plate trying to score on a wild pitch. The big damage was done, though. Marshfield had just two errors, but they both contributed to North Bend’s scoring. The other came in the fifth when Zach Inskeep doubled and Corder reached on an error. Bennison and Jackson hit back-toback RBI groundouts, meaning four of North Bend’s six runs in the game were unearned. SEE BASEBALL | B5
Catching an extreme case of the spring game blahs Sometimes, even when you know something is going to be awful, you have to find out yourself. It’s the way I felt going into every M. Night Shaymalan movie since Signs. It’s how I feel every time I eat an olive to find out if they’ve “changed.” It’s why I always test the limits of a supermarket’s sell-by date. You make mistakes and you learn from them. Wise people say that’s important in life. And that’s what happened last Saturday for me at the Oregon Spring Football Game. I made the mistake of going and will learn to never do that again. Last year I wrote a column about the Spring Game. It was the typical ignorant mumbo jumbo,
attacking all the low-hanging fruit talking points. You SPORTS know, the “spring games are irrelevant, you can’t learn anything from a glorified scrimmage against teammates,” rubbish. So I know the game is irreleGEORGE vant, but how is ARTSITAS it as an event? Is it worth the price of admission? (The game is free, so the actual admission price is peeling yourself off the couch, which is a tall order for college students. Anything with “a.m.” as
WRITER
a suffix is.) Since I covered all the Ducks games at Autzen Stadium this past fall, I figured I’d be a journalist and find out for myself. Verdict: Free feels a little expensive. First off, the only reason you could call it a game is because they kept score. The tradition, unbeknownst to me last year, is that the Spring Game is just a scrimmage for the 15th and final day of practice the NCAA allows in the spring. They open it up to the public and it’s — to put it lightly — unabashedly informal. The second half has a running clock. Quarterbacks are marked down at the first touch.

Individual efforts stand out at last chance meet THE WORLD Track and field athletes put up several outstanding marks in Marshfield’s last-chance meet Tuesday. The meet included all the Far West League’s teams, as well as Powers, Reedsport and Days Creek, but most of the athletes either participated in fewer events than usual or not in their best events. Siuslaw’s middle distance runners stood out. Mack Marbas and Seth Campbell both dipped under two minutes in the 800 meters after a fast 1,500 that also included teammate Mitchell Butler. In that event,
Marbas was timed in 4:04.49, Campbell in a career-best 4:04.53 and Butler in 4:10.33. The high hurdles was a photo finish, with North Bend’s Drae Stark finishing in 16.28 seconds, followed by teammate Cam Lucero (16.29) and Marshfield’s Justin Holman (16.31). In a little more than a week, the three will be battling for two spots in the Class 4A state meet in the same event. North Bend’s Matt Woods sprinted to victory in the 200 with a personal-best time of 23.14. Woods ranks fourth in Class 4A in the 100 meters, which has been his specialty this spring. Billy Jones of Siuslaw won the
long jump by leaping 21 feet, 7 inches, while Reedsport’s Mike Mitchell was second in 20-6. North Bend’s James Jordan cleared 6 feet for the second straight meet to win the high jump. Jordan, who also competes with North Bend’s tennis team, has a chance to advance to state in both sports if their schedules allow it North Bend’s Josh Kimble won both the shot put and discus. Among the girls, Siuslaw’s Mikaela Siegel won both hurdles races and the long jump. North Bend’s McKenzie Gauntz cleared 10-9 for the first time to win the pole vault. Marshfield’s Shaylen Crook, the
Coos County Meet
Before the events begin, meet organizers will honor 1942 Coos County Mile champion Rudy Bjorkquist on the 70th anniversary of his victory. Bjorkquist won the mile for the Pirates with a time of 4:52.2 and also helped Marshfield capture the county team title.
Marshfield, North Bend and Powers will be back at the same track Friday along with Bandon, Coquille and Myrtle Point for the annual Coos County Meet, the oldest annual meet in Oregon. Field events start at 5 p.m., with the running events at 6. Admission is $3 for adults, $1 for students or $5 for families.
Results of the 10-school Bandon Invitational were not available because of technical difficulties involving the site www.athletic.net where all track meets are posted. They will be included in Thursday’s edition of The World if the issue is resolved today.
Class 4A leader in the 3,000 meters, ran a personal best 2:27.45 to win the 800. North Bend’s Gabby Hobson, who specializes in the 800 and 1,500, won the 400 with a new best 1:03.99.

Sports Miami blows out Brooklyn in opener
The Associated Press
Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard (0) and teammates wait to enter the game following a timeout on Tuesday.
Blazers take one on the chin SAN ANTONIO (AP) — After nearly falling on their face in the opening round of the playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs found their footing Tuesday night and ran the Portland Trail Blazers off the court. Tony Parker had 33 points and nine assists and San Antonio never trailed in a resounding 116-92 victory over Portland, bullying the younger Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. “He’s been doing that for a lot of years,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “It’s nothing different. He’s the guy that’s our attack guy. (He) creates for everybody and starts the offense. He’s also played very good defense this year and most people don’t really see that.” Parker, who had 32 points in Game 7 against Dallas, scored 13 points in the first quarter on a series of drives and capped it with a corner 3 as San Antonio built a 10point lead 8 minutes into the game. The Spurs never led by less than 20 in the second half. “They did what championship teams do,” Portland forward LaMarcus Aldridge said. “They came out and set the tone early. Most of the
guys on (Portland’s) team haven’t even been in the second round and they’ve won championships. They’ve been here. I think they definitely came out and they let us know how it’s going to be.” Kawhi Leonard had 16 points and T im Duncan added 12 points and 11 rebounds for San Antonio. More importantly for the Spurs, their bench contributed mightily after being virtually nonexistent in the series against Dallas. Marco Belinelli had 19 points and the Australian connection of Aron Baynes and Patty Mills had 10 points apiece. “We came out swinging, caught them with a few early punches and they were on their back heel at that point,” Baynes said. “It was good for us that we came out like that but now we have to maintain it.” The Spurs had their most complete game of the postseason, playing with the flair and fluidity that resulted in the league’s best regularseason record. “I think Game 7 (against Dallas) gave us a lot of confidence for our team,” Parker said. “I think team wise we played our best game in Game 7. I think tonight was a little bit of the same thing.
Defensively, it was one of our best games because Portland has a lot of shooters, a lot of scorers.” Portland, meanwhile, didn’t come close to resembling the confident and sharp-shooting group that upset Houston in the opening round. Aldridge had 32 points and 14 rebounds and Damian Lillard had 17 points for Portland, but the All-Star duo combined for just 17 points in the first half as San Antonio built a 26-point lead. “They knew where we were going to do (plays),” Aldridge said. “They tried to deny guys on certain sets. They tried to force guys to their weak hand. They did what good teams do. I think guys are going to learn from it.” Lillard was pushed out of the paint by 6-foot-7 Leonard early in the game and was nearly knocked off his feet defensively by a series of blistering picks. It wasn’t any easier physically for Aldridge, who opened the game shooting 1 for 5 against Tiago Splitter and Baynes. “The first half was not what we were looking for,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “San Antonio really
came out with a lot of energy and aggressiveness. They were the more aggressive team at both ends of the floor for the whole half.” Splitter had an early steal on a pass to Aldridge and nearly had a second when he poked a dribble away as the 6-11 forward attempted to push his way into the block. Splitter hit the court in a failed attempt to keep the ball from going out of bounds, but it mattered little as the tone had been set for a long night for Aldridge and the Trail Blazers. Duncan left the game with 4 minutes remaining in the first quarter after picking up two quick fouls, but the Spurs increased their lead in his absence thanks to big contributions from reserves. Baynes had an immediate impact after playing only the final 6 minutes of San Antonio’s Game 7 victory over Dallas. He scored four points quickly and continued the physical defense against Aldridge that Splitter established. “He was awesome,” Duncan said. “He gave us some great minutes. He came in there with his big body, made some plays for us, made some shots, cleaned up the glass. He did everything he was asked to do. It was great.”
Durant earns his first MVP OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — In accepting his first MVP award, Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant made a point of sharing the honor with those who made it possible. In a soul-baring speech that lasted more than 25 minutes, Durant fought back tears several times while thanking each of his teammates, the coaches, support staff and team executives, and finally his family. The emotional outpouring culminated with a tribute to his mother, Wanda Pratt, and the sacrifices she made, the inspiration she provided while raising Durant and his brother in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. “You made us believe,” Durant said to Pratt, who was at the ceremony in Edmond, Oklahoma. “Kept us off the street.

you didn’t eat, you made sure we ate. You sacrificed for us. You’re the real MVP.” Durant explained that Pratt was a single mother with two boys, and though times were tough while growing up, Pratt always thought something better was ahead. Durant said to appreciate moments like these, he often looks back to gain perspective. “One of the best memories I had is when we moved into our first apartment,” he said as tears streamed down Pratt’s face. “No bed, no furniture, and we just all sat in the living room and hugged each other, ‘cause that’s when we all thought we made it.” He’s really made it now.

Durant, 25, called it “surreal” and at one point, as he thanked his teammates, he stopped and said, “I don’t know why I’m crying so much.” “Everything in my life, I had to take it,” Durant said. “They’re not going to give it to you out of sympathy. I wouldn’t want it any other way. This was another case, if I wanted
to win the MVP, I had to go take it. I felt that this was the year I did that.” During a speech in which Durant revealed a humility and vulnerability rarely displayed by a professional athlete, he also drew some laughs. “I could walk in and have a terrible day and I could see Hasheem (Thabeet) smiling at me, at 7-foot-3 with small pants on,” he said. “That would change my day.” Durant, a 6-foot-9 forward, won his fourth scoring crown in five years by averaging 32 points.
MIAMI (AP) — Once the Miami Heat finally figured out how to get rolling against Brooklyn, they never ceded control. And after a regular-season series against the Nets in which nothing went right, nothing seemed to go wrong for the Heat in this one. The 0-4 record against the Nets in the regular season? That seems officially forgotten by Miami. As far as the Heat are concerned, 1-0 is all that matters now, after LeBron James scored 22 points, Ray Allen added 19 off the bench and Miami pulled away in the second half to beat Brooklyn 107-86 in Game 1 of the teams’ Eastern Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night. The Heat hadn’t played in eight days, yet looked in perfect rhythm. “You never know how exactly it’s going to be for that first game,” Allen said. “We were beating up on each other for a whole week. We were ready for another opponent and we came out and played exactly the way we wanted to play.” It was a three-point game early in the third quarter. By the time that period ended, the Heat were up by 13 and three Nets starters would be getting the rest of the night off, a decision that essentially ended any comeback chances. A 24-9 run by the Heat during that quarter made all the difference, not just blowing the game open but putting an emphatic end to any notions that M iami couldn’t beat Brooklyn. “I think the most important thing was the rhythm we were in,” James said. “It seemed like we didn’t take much time off at all.” Chris Bosh scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade finished with 14 points and Mario Chalmers had 12 for Miami, which recorded at least one regular-season win
ARTSITAS From Page B1 Oregon head coach and Marshfield graduate Mark Helfrich floated around in the open field as his typical positive self, clapping after each play like he was trying to turn every single one of Autzen’s lights on. Once the action picked up, it had all the excitement of a preseason game and the atmosphere of a library. Normally Autzen is fabulous. The fans are extremely loud and savvy, but for the Spring Game, it worked against them. Since everyone who showed up was (probably) a Ducks fan, whenever something exciting happened for the Ducks on offense, it meant something bad happened for the Ducks on defense. Without someone to root against, Autzen turned into just a bunch of people quelling compulsions to cheer. You could hear the hesitation from the crowd on every completion. It’s like every fan was a parent who was watching the game with their baby napping next to them. Whenever something good happened, they’d burst out a cheer from instinct and silence themselves once they realized their mouth

SOFTBALL Bulldogs get runs in fifth From Page B1 North Bend’s only runs came in the fifth inning. After an Arianna Campbell double to open the inning, Shirley Holder — who was called up from the junior varsity squad for the game — knocked the Bulldogs’ first run in with a single. A few batters later, Lindsay Henson brought Holder in with a triple to left field. The two fifth-inning runs
where the only blemishes on Marshfield pitcher Mackenzie Johnson’s day. Johnson went the full five innings and had five strikeouts. In all three games Mackenzie pitched against the Bulldogs this year, she gave up only four runs total. To add to her day, Johnson went 3-for-4 from the plate, because on Tuesday, everyone hit for Marshfield. “We hit the ball well today,” Toy said. “We’re looking forward to Friday but we can’t get ahead of ourselves.” The win is vital for the
Pirates as they brace for the homestretch of the season. With the win, they’re in fourth place at 9-6 in league and a game and a half back of Douglas for third and final guaranteed spot in the postseason. Unfortunately, two of their last three games will be against undefeated South Umpqua and buzzsaw pitcher Krysten Cook. North Bend is 2-11 in the Far West and couldn’t roll over success from its second league win against Sutherlin on Friday. Marshfield is currently 23rd in the state rankings and in the running for an at-large
berth into the Class 4A playin round. Thankfully the two games at 14th-ranked South Umpqua on Friday should improve the Pirates’ standing win or lose, so Toy figures their chances at a playoff spot aren’t too bad at the moment. Marshfield’s coach just wants to keep the momentum from the past three games — Marshfield 10-runned Siuslaw twice last Friday — into the matchup with the Lancers. “Fourth is OK right now,” Toy said. “After the games we played last week, it just carried to today so hopefully it’ll carry again to Friday.”
The Tigers played better than recent games, though, Bandon coach Rick Hinojosa said. “The outfielders really stepped up and made the defensive plays without any dropped balls or missed grounders,” Hinojosa said. “That was so important against this hard-hitting team.” Hayley Livingston pitched a one-hitter for Glide. Ally Richert had Bandon’s only hit. Coquille 8, Gold Beach 7: Alaney Gallino had a home run and double as the Red Devils edged the Panthers 87 in a game moved to Bandon
against every team except Brooklyn, losing four times by a total of 12 points. This one went much differently. “In the regular season, teams like Brooklyn and San Antonio, they’re going to exploit you just a little bit sometimes,” Bosh said. “That’s what I love about the playoffs — you can sit and study your opponent, get your strategy together and figure a plan of attack.” Game 2 is Thursday night in Miami. Deron Williams and Joe Johnson scored 17 points each for the Nets, who got only eight from Paul Pierce and no points from Kevin Garnett in 16 minutes. Garnett leveled Allen, his former Boston teammate, with a solid screen in the first half, but Allen clearly got the better of his first postseason game against Garnett and Pierce. “This is the defending champs,” Nets coach Jason Kidd said. “It’s always going to be at a high level and we’ve got to find a way to match it.” Miami’s lead was 55-52 early in the third quarter after a 3-pointer by Williams, and every indication was that the Heat and Nets — who played three one-point games and a double-overtime affair in the regular season — were heading down to the wire again. Not quite. Bosh scored seven straight points and Miami was on its way. Allen’s 3-pointer pushed the lead to 14, James and Chris Andersen (who left in the fourth with a right knee contusion) added two free throws apiece and just like that Miami’s lead was up to 79-61. “They have been waiting on us,” said Garnett, who went scoreless for the first time in his 139 postseason games. “They have been resting. They have been hearing that we beat them this and all that. We need to be better, and we will be.”
was open. Cheers weren’t muted for the troops, the game’s guests of honor. The annual game is an ode to the armed forces, and most of the stuff was extremely classy. After the game when each of the Ducks lined up and gave their game worn jersey to a military member. Just one thing ... the back of the jerseys read “Salute the Day,” instead of “Support our Troops” like last year. The change is meant to incorporate Oregon’s “Win the Day” motto and, to be honest, makes the event not as selfless as it wants to be. Combining the mottos — while a cute pun on the surface — creates synergy by promoting the Oregon brand with the military’s. It’s simple: Shoehorning in the logo creates brand recognition, which is exploitative of the troops’ good standing to the American public, which makes the entire “salute” seem disingenuous. That’s not the reason I won’t be back, though. No, I won’t be back because it’s a miserable experience and the game doesn’t matter. I just had to find out for myself.
because of poor field conditions. Coquille rallied from what was at one point a 5-2 deficit. The Red Devils still trailed 6-4 before scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth. Makala Edgar, Britney Forbes and Tori Howard had singles before Gallino had a shot that bounced over the fence for her double. Ashley Thompson finished the spurt with a tworun single to right. Howard was solid on the mound for the Red Devils, pitching a complete game and giving up eight hits while striking out five Gold Beach hitters. Gallino had three hits and Thompson added two for the Red Devils, who won all three of their games with the Panthers this spring.

Golden State fires Jackson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — The Golden State Warriors fired Mark Jackson, ending the franchise’s most successful coaching tenure in the past two decades but also one filled with drama and distractions. General manager Bob Myers thanked Jackson in a statement for “his role in helping elevate this team into a better position than it was when he arrived nearly 36 months ago.” Myers said it was a difficult decision but the Warriors “simply feel it’s best to move in a different direction at this time.” Jackson’s three seasons with the Warriors will be remembered for the way he helped turn a perennially losing franchise into a consistent winner and the bold and bombastic way in which he did it. He guaranteed Golden State would make the playoffs in his first season, when they finished 23-36 after the NBA labor lockout. The Warriors went 47-35 last season and had a memorable run to the second round of the playoffs, and they were 51-31 this season before losing to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.

San Francisco second baseman Brandon Hicks is upended by Pittsburgh’s Jordy Mercer after making the throw to first to complete a double play during the 12th inning Tuesday.
Upon further review ... Pirates win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Starling Marte was called out, then ruled safe on a replay review with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates over San Francisco 2-1 Tuesday night and ending the Giants’ six-game winning streak. It was 1-all when Marte tripled off the right-field wall against Tim Hudson (4-2). Marte slid into third, got up and MLB bolted home when the relay from secRecap ond baseman Ehire Adrianza skipped by third baseman Pablo Sandoval. Sandoval recovered to throw home and plate umpire Quinn Wolcott initially ruled Marte was tagged by San Francisco catcher Buster Posey. A brief review showed Marte’s right hand touched the plate before Posey tagged his chest. Marlins 3, Mets 0: Henderson Alvarez (2-2) pitched a six-hitter for his second shutout this season, and the Marlins won again at home, beating the Mets. Miami improved to a major leaguebest 16-5 at Marlins Park, and is 7-1 on its current homestand with one game left. They clinched the series and have won seven of their eight home series — the Marlins are 2-10 on the road. Braves 2, Cardinals 1: Justin Upton homered and scored the tiebreaking run on Chris Johnson’s eighth-inning single, and the Braves beat the Cardinals to end their seven-game skid. Braves right-hander Gavin Floyd was impressive in his season debut, allowing one run on six hits in seven innings. Floyd made his first major league start since April 27, 2013, for the White Sox against Tampa Bay. He had seasonending Tommy John surgery 10 days later, and his comeback included six minor league rehab starts this year. Dodgers 8, Nationals 3: Clayton Kershaw (2-0) pitched seven shutout innings in his first outing since opening day, and Hanley Ramirez and Drew Butera homered as the Dodgers defeated the Nationals.
The two-time NL Cy Young winner had been on the disabled list for the first time in his career, sidelined by a strained back muscle after winning March 22 in the major league opener in Australia. Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 5: Aaron Hill hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning after Miguel Montero had a tying single, rallying the Diamondbacks past the Brewers. Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Owings also homered for Arizona.
INTERLEAGUE Blue Jays 6, Phillies 5, 10 innings: Juan Francisco’s sacrifice fly in the 10th inning lifted the Blue Jays to a win over the Phillies. Cody Asche hit a game-tying grand slam in the sixth to help the Phillies rally from a 5-0 deficit, but they were swept in a two-game portion of a four-game, home-and-home interleague series. The teams meet tonight in Toronto. White Sox 5, Cubs 1: Gordon Beckham’s tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning helped the White Sox beat the rival Cubs. Beckham was 1-for-6 in the White Sox’s 3-1, 12-inning win Monday over the Cubs, but he matched a career high with four hits Tuesday. The fourth one, on a 1-2 pitch with two outs from Neil Ramirez (0-1), gave Beckham his first homer of the season and the White Sox the lead, one they held to sweep the two-game series at Wrigley Field. The teams start a two-game series today across town at U.S. Cellular Field. Royals 3, Padres 1, 11 innings: Alex Gordon singled in the go-ahead run with one out in the 11th inning and pinch-hitter Billy Butler followed with an RBI double for the Royals, who beat San Diego to snap their season-high five-game losing streak. Rockies 12, Rangers 1: Carlos Gonzalez had five of Colorado’s seasonhigh 21 hits and Nolan Arenado made several slick plays at third base on a night he extended his hitting streak to 26 games as the Rockies routed the Rangers. It’s the third time in Gonzalez’s career he’s had five hits in a game. Arenado waited until his final at-bat in
the seventh to extend his streak, lacing an RBI double that hit just inside the left-field line. He’s one away from tying the team record of 27 set by Michael Cuddyer last season. Red Sox 4, Reds 3, 12 innings: Grady Sizemore lined one off the Green Monster to score the game-winning run in the 12th inning and the Red Sox beat the Reds. It was the longest game between the two teams since the Red Sox won Game 6 of the 1975 World Series on Carlton Fisk’s 12th-inning homer.
AMERICAN LEAGUE Tigers 11, Astros 4: Miguel Cabrera homered for his first of four hits and four RBIs, Robbie Ray gave up one run in his debut and the Detroit Tigers routed the Houston Astros for their seasonhigh seventh straight win. Indians 4, Twins 2: Josh Tomlin earned his first major league win since 2012, pitching into the seventh inning and leading the Indians past the Twins. Tomlin (1-0) allowed one run and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. He was called up from Triple-A Columbus before the game after missing most of last year while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Orioles 5, Rays 3: Ryan Flaherty and Nick Markakis both drove in a run after a power outage in the eighth inning and the Orioles beat the Rays. The 19-minute delay came after a series of lights went out at Tropicana Field. Yankees 4, Angels 3: Brian Roberts hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the ninth inning, and the Yankees beat the Angels 4-3 for just their second victory in seven games. Mariners 8, Athletics 3: Rookie Roenis Elias struck out six while pitching into the seventh to win consecutive starts for the first time, Justin Smoak drove in three runs and the Mariners beat the Athletics for their season-best fourth straight victory. Smoak hit an RBI double and Dustin Ackley an RBI single in the first to back Elias (3-2), who followed up a 10strikeout gem at Yankee Stadium his last time out with another impressive start.

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Clippers President Andy Roeser is taking an indefinite leave of absence while the NBA restructures the franchise in the wake of owner Donald Sterling’s lifetime ban. Roeser’s immediate departure was announced by the NBA. The league announced plans last week to appoint a CEO to oversee the franchise in Sterling’s absence. “This will provide an opportunity for a new CEO to begin on a clean slate and for the team to stabilize under difficult circumstances,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said.

Marshfield’s Drew James was just forced out at second by Jared Hampel and both players watch to see if the action ends in a double play for the Bulldogs on Tuesday afternoon. Marshfield’s Andrew Sharp was safe at first, beating the throw from Hampel. the hole at short and beat the throw to first by Rice, scoring Simpson — the freshman’s third run of the game. Carpenter loved the fight his team showed. “It was good,” he said. “It’s hard to lose like that. When it happens, you just hope it’s a learning experience.” Ross, who had two of Marshfield’s hits and drove in three of the runs, said the seventh inning run by the Pirates was a high point, followed by the ultimate disappointment. “It’s the best feeling in the world when your down and your teammate comes through with a clutch hit,” he said. Unfortunately, the end result was the third close loss to North Bend this season — the three games were decided by four runs.
“Our senior class really wanted to win,” he said. “We’ve never beat North Bend. “I thought we played a really good game. We just had too many errors.” The Bulldogs improved to 12-1 in league play and are closing in on their second straight title. It was their second win on a basesloaded walk in the seventh, following a 1-0 victory over Brookings-Harbor. The Pirates fell to 4-11, but the close result was another sign that the team has improved vastly. “We’re playing a lot better this half of the season,” Ross said. “We’re having fun.” North Bend hosts Douglas in a doubleheader Friday, while Marshfield visits South Umpqua.

PRO HOCKEY Predators pick Laviolette BOXING to be new head coach NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Ali sparring The Nashville Predators partner Ellis dies hired Peter Laviolette as the second head coach in franchise history. The Predators also announced Kevin McCarthy was hired as an assistant on Laviolette’s staff. Laviolette, who signed a multi-year contract, will take over in Nashville once he finishes coaching the United States at the 2014 World Championship. He coached Carolina to a Stanley Cup in 2006 and took Philadelphia to the Stanley Cup finals in 2010. He was fired in October after the Flyers lost their first three games of the season.
From Page B1 “They’re not the No. 1 team in our league for no reason,” Marshfield coach Scott Carpenter said. “You can’t do that against a good team and a well-coached team. “A lot of credit goes to them.” While North Bend took advantage of Marshfield’s mistakes, the Pirates earned their runs. Anthony Ross led off the second inning with a towering home run to left — his third of the season — to give the Pirates an early 1-0 lead. After North Bend’s three runs in the bottom of the second, the Pirates tied the game in the third. Freshman Cooper Simpson had a lead-off walk and Drew James hit an infield single to short. Campbell sacrificed them over, Andrew Sharp hit an RBI single and Ross had a sacrifice fly. The Pirates briefly went ahead 4-3 in the fifth when Simpson and James walked and Ross had a two-out single. That was all the damage Marshfield could do against Jackson, North Bend’s starter, who struck out seven and walked three while pitching the first six innings. “I think Hunter pitched well,” Horning said. “Our pitching staff’s done a good job of keeping the walks down.” Horning brought in Corder to try to close out the Pirates with the one-run lead in the seventh, but Marshfield battled back again. Simpson led off with a popup that dropped for a single behind first base, when three different North Bend players misjudged where the ball would come down. James then sacrificed him over to second and Campbell grounded to short, advancing Simpson to third. With two outs, Sharp hit the ball to

Stop making these costly hair mistakes No one knows your hair better than you do. But is it possible that in your efforts to keep it healthy and looking good, you are washing money down the drain needlessly? Consider these mistakes many people make. Mistake: Expensive shampoo. Come on ... ‘fess up. You feel guilty using $.99 shampoo because it’s really bad for your hair. And anybody knows the $24 s a l o n variety is EVERYDAY so much CHEAPSKATE b e t t e r especially for chemic a l l y treated h a i r , right? Wr o n g ! Price has nothing Mary to do Hunt with it. T h e secret to shampoo intelligence is to know your detergents. Look at the list of ingredients. Water (or some fancy name for it) will always be the first ingredient. Next comes the detergent. It’s tricky, so keep this list handy. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate — very harsh Ammonium Laureth Sulfate — harsh Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — still harsh Sodium Laureth Sulfate — mild, great choice TEA Lauryl Sulfate — gentle, good choice TEA Laureth Sulfate — gentle, also a good choice With the money you save on the shampoo, buy a quality conditioner. Unlike shampoo that washes down the drain, the quality of conditioner does make a difference. Mi s ta k e: O ve r w a s h i n g. Shampoo st rips e sse n tial oils from hair. Day-old hair styles better and generally looks better than freshly washed hair. Cut back shampooing your hair to three or four times a week. Your hair will love you and your shampoo will last twice as long. If you want to freshen up your locks in between shampoos, spritz with a good dry shampoo. Mistake: Too much shampoo. You don’t need a giant head of suds to know your shampoo is working. Start with just a small amount. Then instead of shampooing and conditioning all the way through, shampoo concentrate toward the scalp, and condition just the mid-shaft to the ends of your hair. Your ends need more moisture and your roots need a little less of it so they can maintain volume. The suds will run down from the top of your head and get those ends clean anyway. Mistake: Rinsing too much. Colored hair is much different than hair that has not been chemically treated. Since colored hair absorbs and releases water much more easily, when the water leaves, so does some of the color. Rinse quickly to protect that expensive color job. Also, stick to lukewarm or cooler water since heat also removes color faster. M i s t a ke : T o o m u c h c o n ditioner. The ends of your hair should be the focus when putting on this superhydrating product. When your scalp is covered in conditioner, you're likely to end up with a tacky film that leads to build-up. With the money you save on the shampoo (see above), buy a quality conditioner. Just keep in mind that it takes only a tiny amount to get the job done, so go easy!

BRIDGE Albert Bandura, who was ranked in 2002 as the fourth most frequently quoted psychologist behind B.F. Skinner, Sigmund Freud and Jean Piaget, said, “Coping with the demands of everyday life would be exceedingly trying if one could arrive at solutions to problems only by actually performing possible options and suffering the consequences.” Unfortunately, though, at the bridge table, if you chose a line that fails, you are not given a second

chance.You must arrive at a solution to your problem before playing on. In this deal, North launches South into six spades. West leads a fourthhighest diamond four. East wins with his king and shifts to the heart jack. How should South continue? If you and your partner would have bid to six clubs (or the lucky six hearts), well done. If you would have stopped in game in spades, you perhaps did well. But let’s suppose all those points caused North to have a surge of pointed-blacksuit adrenaline. (Yes, this would be a good deal for Roman Key Card Blackwood, because North would learn that an ace and the spade queen were missing.) The normal percentage play for no spade losers is a second-round finesse. However, if East has queen-third of spades, why didn’t he continue with the diamond ace at trick two, forcing dummy to ruff? He knows from his partner’s opening lead that you have another diamond in your hand. Don’t fall for it. Play off the spade king and spade ace. If West’s queen does not drop, you couldn’t have made the contract.
