Big weekend for graduates

COOS BAY — Firefighters from multiple agencies responded to a fire burning less than a quarter of an acre in Coos Bay’s Eastside district Friday. While it was quickly taken care of, it served as a reminder that fire season is coming soon, and that even outside of fire season a small blaze can grow dangerously fast.

At about 2 p.m. crews from Coos Forest Protective Association and Coos Bay Fire were called out to a report of a wildfire. The East Bay Drive blaze only burned an area of about 80 feet by 100 feet, but officials say it could have gotten out of hand without an immediate response by firefighters.

John Flannigan, the prevention specialist for the Coos Forest Protective Association, said the cause of the fire won’t be known for sure until the investigation is complete, but there has been some burning done recently on the property where the fire occurred.

He said the landowner also had reportedly had been SEE FIRE | A8

WASHINGTON — We never leave troops behind. We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Those core U.S. commitments, to the soldier, the country and the world, came into conflict when Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl fell into the hands of the Taliban and the government saw only one way to get him back: in essence, make a deal with terrorists.

The debate over Bergdahl rages

on multiple fronts, touching on whether the U.S. came out on the short end in a bargain that freed five Taliban captives, whether the soldier who walked away from his post was disloyal to country, whether adversaries will see more gain in capturing Americans, whether the administration was justified in acting without notice to Congress, and more.

What’s clear in the complexities is that the age-old vow to retrieve the captured or the fallen proved more potent than the refusal to

NORTH BEND — “The Bluest Eye” is back on the table.

The North Bend school board will review the “Studying Controversial Issues and Procedures” policy at its 7 p.m. meeting Monday in North Bend City Council chambers, 835 California St. Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye” was originally pulled from North Bend High’s American Connections class last month.

School administration said the book was pulled since the policy wasn’t followed, while Scott Peters — who teaches the course alongside Dustin Hood — and his students counter it was due to the book’s controversial content, which includes racism, incest and child molestation.

While the policy wasn’t followed, administration did approve the purchase of the books at the beginning of the school year.

North Bend High alumnus Dion MacDonald launched an online petition following the book’s removal, asking for it to be reinstated to the curriculum. The petition had gained 1,300 signatures as of this weekend.

BAH earns national accreditation Bay Area Hospital’s Cancer Treatment Program recently received a renewed accreditation from the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer.

The accreditation report includes four commendations for the hospital’s performance on specific accreditation standards. The hospital is accredited as a “Community Cancer Center,” a distinction given to community hospitals that maintain excellence in comp r e h e n s i v e , patient-centered care.

Hospitals must meet 34 quality care standards to qualify.

As an accredited cancer center, Bay Area Hospital takes a multidisciplinary approach, with consultation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and other cancer specialists.

The hospital received commendations related to its participation in clinical trials — research projects evaluating new cancer treatments; the staff of Bay Area Hospital’s cancer registry, which contributes to a nationwide database used for quality improvement throughout the country; public reporting of treatment outcomes; and the percentage of chemotherapy nurses holding national certification.

Outdated heating?

ORCCA can help Oregon Coast Community Action is providing Energy Star furnaces to low-income homeowners in Coos and Curry counties. If you’re a homeowner with an outdated heating system, Oregon Coast Community Action may be able to install an energy efficient heating system at no cost to you.

For information and eligibility details, contact Ashley or John at 541-435-7080, ext. 369.

BAH honors technologist Bay Area Hospital has conferred its highest employee honor on a longtime mammography technologist and women’s health activist. Martha Blochlinger has performed X-ray and mammography exams for South Coast residents for more than 45 years.

At 72, she still works one day a week at the hospital’s Women’s Imaging Center, often serving loyal patients who ask for her by name. She was honored by the hospital with its “Gold Star” award, given each year to one or more employees who excel in both job performance and community service.

Blochlinger is involved in Relay For Life and the Coos County Women’s Health Coalition, and she supports the Women’s Safety and Resource Center. Breast cancer awareness is her particular passion — with an emphasis on routine mammogram screening.

Blochlinger served as Peace Corps volunteer in the 1960s, performing X-ray exams in Africa. Returning to the United States, she worked in Colorado before applying for a job at McCowan Laboratory in Coos Bay. She worked there until 1989, when she moved to South Coast Radiology, which became part of Bay Area Hospital in 2009. She has worked exclusively in mammography since 2000.

Martha Blochlinger accepted Bay Area Hospital’s “Gold Star” award from CEO Paul Janke.

The World Newspaper Many kids who grow up in Coos Bay move away, and most won’t return. But some come back, for a variety of reasons. And they all want a little bit more from their hometown. Here are some of their stories.

» We Came Back Danielle Renee Goette My husband grew up here. Graduated from Marshfield in 1998.

Attended Swocc then went on earn his Bachelor degree from OSU. He always knew he could make more money in a bigger city but he wanted to come back to Coos Bay because it was his home. He has been working as a (PE) Civil Engineer for the Dyer Partnership the last 8 years. I think it's important that educated professionals return to their hometowns.

Sue Bolles I grew up here from 12 yrs old and on. I left when I was 40, to Ennis Mt. For 5yrs.Just to say I did it. I wanted to be home the whole time. I love Oregon, n the beachs.

This is home. I never want to leave again, lol Stephanie Smith Great article. Always nice to hear local success. It is so true that great doctors are driven by education for their kids when they decide to come here. Retirees really need to think about the bigger picture. We have to grow as a whole. Our kids are some of the future doctors who will be saving lives.

Think about that the next time you don't think our schools deserve more.

Melissa Bates Your home is what you make of it.... I love it here!!!

The World Newspaper Jadess Taitano isn’t letting the past become a roadblock to her future. The 19-yearold is graduating from Marshfield High in two days, no small feat considering she’s had a rough past couple of years. Taitano grew up in Salem but left two years ago when she was 17.

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

GOP still needs an agenda The midterm elections are less than six months away, and Republicans still can’t agree among themselves on what it will take to win.

The latest debate among party insiders is whether GOP House and Senate candidates should produce a document like the Contract With America that tells voters what to expect if Republicans win full control of Congress.

But the fact that there is a debate at all indicates that the race is not shaping up as Republicans envisioned months ago.

Much of the anxiety concerns Obamacare.

The six months between October and March saw the disastrous rollout of the exchanges, steep increases in premiums and deductibles for millions of Americans, the imposition of the individual mandate, higher taxes and other troublesome features of the Democrats’ national health care scheme.

Republicans saw public unhappiness as political opportunity.

But now that seems to have hit a plateau. Yes, more jarring changes are coming — the employer mandate, the full imposition of minimum coverage requirements, and others.

But President Obama has delayed several of those changes until after this BYRON November’s elections.

YORK That has thrown a wrench into earlier Republican Columnist plans to exploit public discontent all the way until the election.

“There are no big implementation events to occur that could change the current equilibrium before November,” says a well-connected Republican strategist. “So there is this sense that Obamacare has moved everybody that it’s going to move, and that’s not enough.”

In addition, some GOP insiders are sensing that by November — when the Obamacare exchanges have been up for more than a year — the public will not see a Republican pledge to repeal as the answer to its unhappiness with the health care system.

“One thing you’re beginning to see in surveys is the sense that we’re so far down this path that repeal is not realistic any more,” says the GOP strategist. “Clearly, they disagree with the direction of the health care system, but the idea that you can stop all this and go back to where we were before just seems unrealistic to a growing chunk of the population.” A recent GOP survey found that a plurality of voters agreed with the statement, “The system has been changed too structurally that it is not possible to go back to the way it was before.”

Put those concerns together, and you have the growing Republican feeling that Obamacare will not be as much of a driving motivation for voters as they had earlier hoped. And that’s behind the talk about a new campaign pledge.

Most proponents don’t want a literal version of the old Contract With America, which was a huge success for House Republicans in 1994 but devoted a lot of attention to internal House reforms as well as the extensive legislation GOP lawmakers promised to pass. After many re-iterations of the contract over the years, some GOP strategists believe another could look like a wish list that voters would promptly ignore.

Instead, some Republicans are thinking about focusing on two or three policy areas in which they will pledge major legislation to boost America’s economy.

Three items under discussion are energy, regulation and tax reform. The energy part is relatively easy; Republicans support a variety of ways for America to capitalize on the revolution in oil and gas recovery, while Democrats seem determined to slow it all down.

Tax reform is more difficult, since Republicans do not agree among themselves on a big plan. But they could showcase individual measures, like ways to bring home the billions in cash that U.S. corporations have overseas.

As far as regulation is concerned, there is a concern that voters have heard the GOP’s general anti-regulatory position over and over. Instead, Republicans might focus on one or two undeniably counterproductive economic restrictions as a symbol for Obama’s across-the-board increase in regulations.

Health care remains a big question mark.

Republicans have famously not been able to unite behind a single Obamacare alternative, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be able to do so anytime soon. Beyond supporting repeal — nearly all Republicans still do — it’s hard to see what the GOP positive agenda will be.

Not all Republicans are on board for some sort of party pledge.While some think a contract-style agenda could put them over the top in close races, others “think the existence of such an agenda is just a recipe for further divisions down the road — you don’t want to over-promise and create backlash,” says one Senate Republican source.

Most GOP lawmakers do agree on one thing: They hate “Republicans are divided” stories in the press. But the fact is, November is not that far away, and the GOP hasn’t fully settled on how to run.

Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.

Letters to the Editor LNG will be good for our region The ongoing anti-Jordan Cove Energy Project letter writing campaign is really hard to understand. They say that it will be just a get-rich scheme that won’t be here long enough to provide any lasting benefits, which really doesn’t make a lot of sense, given that it is a major infrastructure project that will cost nearly $6 billion. Millions of dollars in planning and study costs have already been spent over the last 10-plus years.

The anti’s also mention the devastation a major earthquake would have on an LNG facility, yet when Japan suffered a level nine earthquake in 2011 there was very little major damage done to over 25 existing LNG plants, and they are adding many more LNG facilities to provide energy once supplied by nuclear power plants that had major problems due to the tsunami. If we have a similar earthquake, the real concern should be the resulting damage to bridges and roads, the resulting tsunami, and the liquefaction of the ground in low lying areas.

Since the state forest, BLM and forest service lands are no longer able to provide enough natural resources to our economy, which was the charge given when they were originally created, Coos County needs to look for other sources for jobs and revenue. Construction jobs for the plant and pipeline will number in the thousands, and after construction is completed, about 150 well-paying jobs will be here in the future. Additionally, Jordan Cove will pay millions every year to local governments so that that infrastructure and jobs will have a funding source in the future.

Keith Comstock Myrtle Point

LNG means greed, politics I would like to respond to Nan Hammons’ question as to why put the LNG plant in an EQ zone?

It’s greed and politics!

LNG has tried to locate in different areas, like California, since the pipeline is there, but the people wouldn’t have it. How about the Columbia River? They gave them the boot because they val-

ued their safety and wouldn’t settle for less. LNG targets our community that is struggling under today’s economy, and they see us as “hungry.” The powers to be, along with those dependent on government funding, have already sat down at the table to divvy out the revenue. You are not hearing from our elected officials because it is or will be an election year and we all know they will not upset the apple cart for fear of losing their positions.

When your focus is on the money, it’s funny what comes through the backdoor. Why would a school district sign a 10year lease on a building that is less than a couple of miles from a site that has the potential of becoming a safety hazard to people and the environment?

Heaven help them if that day ever comes.

Why aren’t we holding these people accountable to protect the health and welfare of their people? Demand they get it in writing: They promise jobs, how many will that be; will those jobs go to our local people? What will they give back to our community?

Tyranny vs. 2nd Amendment

Regarding your informative April 22 article about a new airport hangar; Paraphrasing the late Paul Harvey, may we have the rest of the story?

The hangar is apparently intended to occasionally support Bandon Dunes customers (there is no other obvious need).

Thanks deep pockets of Oregon lottery players for the $2 millionplus. According to the airport manager, the hangar will accommodate a Boeing Business Jet similar to a 737 aircraft, plus four smaller turbo fan aircraft. The smallest BBJ is a 737, customized for private customers. How will the new hangar “attract the larger commercial aircraft”? The two commercial carriers operating out of the airport don’t own any 737-size aircraft, and there certainly is no market for 100-plus configuration aircraft daily service from the local airport. The short airport runways cannot safely accommodate “heavy” aircraft like a 777, A330 or 747.

Several 737 size aircraft have visited the local airport — at least one charter 737 in a 50-passenger configuration and at least one

Do we really need the Second Amendment? The Constitution was written by men who had survived a brutal war, having lost friends, families and fortunes to gain independence from Great Britain, which had grown intolerably oppressive. They believed that ordinary citizens should be able to resist government tyranny.

Tyranny? Stop and think; a few years ago government snipers murdered Vicky Weaver and her son Sammy at Ruby Ridge, Idaho.

Then we watched Attorney General Janet Reno use Army tanks to demolish a property in Waco, Texas, incinerating nearly 100 people, including children whose only crime was wanting to be left alone. Recently, BLM gunmen invaded Clive Bundy’s ranch in Nevada and shot a number of his cattle.

Tyranny? I ask the reader to decide.

Thank you to our community for the support given to the Zonta Club. Without the support of so many we would not have had the success with our fundraising events. Thanks to BNT for the use of their space for our garage sale! Thank you to all who liked our fudge from the Blackberry Festival! Our celebrity dinner event was so well supported throughout the community with donations of auction items and services that we had the most successful event ever. From all of this activity, we have awarded community grants, scholarships and supported our Little Red Schoolhouse project with over $36,000 going right back into our area. Our mission has continued to be helping to improve the lives of women through education, advocacy and assisting our other community resources to provide much needed services.

You have helped us do that!

Airport hangar not necessary

charter A319 operated by Frontier Airlines.

Since a typical new 737 BBJ sells for about $80 million and slightly used 737 BBJ aircraft sell for under $50 million, with owners of these aircraft wanting their aircraft and crew immediately available for their use, why would any owner use North Bend as a home base? Wouldn’t it have been nice to have a long-term tenant/customer signed up before the hangar was built, not “I’m confident this will get leased out within 12 months”?

About 10 years ago, the airport manager told taxpayers that the entire airport business park would be built and occupied long ago. We have a weathered sign and lots of weeds.

Perhaps you will inform your readers where we may locate the 56 aircraft that the FAA believes are permanently based at the airport and clarify the average 50 daily takeoffs and landings also apparently reported to the FAA. Boeing has always specified the need for at least 5,000 feet of runway for safe 737 landing on summer days at sea level and about 6,000 feet for rainy days.

Only one airport runway is 5,000 feet (runway 04-22 is 5,980 feet; 13-31 is 4,470 feet). What if an unexpected cross wind on approach or a flock of migrating birds are ingested at takeoff and landing atop the Jordan Cove facility is required? Then what?

State Siblings are growling over cat-sitting charges DEAR ABBY: I accepted a request from my brother to watch his cats while he was across the country for a few months.

During that time, one DEAR of them matured and started marking his territory all over my house. The dilemma was quickly taken care of with a JEANNE PHILLIPS trip to the vet, after permission from my brother.

My brother now insists that because I accepted responsibility for the cats “in every way” in his absence that I shouldn’t expect reimbursement for the professional carpet cleaner I rented or the vet bill I paid for neutering the cat.

Am I out of line to expect to be paid back? We have agreed to abide by your response. — CHRISTINA IN MARYLAND DEAR CHRISTINA: Tell your brother to start writing the check now. If he’d had to board his cats while he was out of town, it would have cost him a lot more. You were kind to help him out, and he should be ashamed of himself for trying to stiff you. HISSS! DEAR ABBY: My sisterin-law is in a barbershop quartet. While I appreciate the artistic effort of what she does, listening to it bores me and I don’t enjoy it. I feel like I must go to her recitals because she makes a point of inviting my husband and me.

I have an ethical dilemma. Should I be honest with her and say I don’t enjoy sitting through two to three hours of a capella songs? Or should I be true to MYSELF and admit I’d rather stay home and catch up on my reading? What would you do, Abby? — EARACHE IN IDAHO DEAR EARACHE: I’d try to be tactful. Instead of saying you would rather stay home and catch up on your reading, say instead that you have “different taste in music” than she does, or that you have other plans. If this would make you feel guilty, consider putting in an appearance every once in a while.

DEAR ABBY: My second wife died last year after 39 years of marriage. She had a beautiful, unique sense of humor. Three weeks after her funeral, I was walking our dog on the day that would have been our anniversary. As I bent down to pick up the poop, I spotted a quarter on the ground.

It was so tarnished with age I couldn’t make out the date. But I remembered your “pennies from heaven” letters, so I picked it up.

I hurried home to clean it to see if it was from the year we were married. I was amazed when I discovered it WAS from the year I was married — but to my first wife. Like I said, my late wife had a unique sense of humor ... SMILING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SMILING: I’m sorry for your loss. Two things occur to me. The first is that the quarter was your reward for being a responsible dog owner. The second is that your late wife may have been trying to “remind” you that you had a love before her, and you may find another one in the future.

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

The Grand Floral Parade, is kicked off with the coronation of the Rose Festival Queen on Saturday, in Portland, Seventeen-year-old Emma Aubrey Waibel received her crown at the Memorial Coliseum on Saturday.

Rose Festival picks first queen not from Portland STATE PORTLAND (AP) — A junior at West Linn High School student has been named the first Rose Festival queen from outside Portland.

S e ve n te e n - ye a r - o l d Emma Aubrey Waibel received her crown at the Memorial Coliseum on Saturday.

The Oregonian reports that Waibel is director of the Sparrow Club, which assists children in medical crisis, a varsity cheerleader, outdoor school counselor and was the sophomore class president.

The Rose Festival has been selecting a queen since 1908, according to its website. She represents Portland and the Rose Festival for one year at appearances around the country and abroad.

Indian company eyes Springfield call center SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A company that runs call centers may be considering up shop in setting Springfield with 300 fulltime workers.

The Eugene RegisterGuard reports that three executives from Firstsource toured a former grocery store property last month, joined by the property owner, a broker and officials from the city and state.

Firstsource, based in India, performs a variety of work for banks, credit card companies, hospitals and insurance companies. That includes processing insurance claims and credit card transactions, and handling collections.

Springfield’s community development manager, John Tamulonis, says he was told the company is also looking at two other sites, one in Corvallis and the other at an undisclosed location in the Willamette Valley. He says company officials gave no timeline but brokers told him the call center could employ 300.

Spokesman Matt Shelby says no employees have filed a request.

PGE building new natural gas power plant BOARDMAN (AP) — Portland General Electric has started building a natural gas-fired power plant in Boardman.

The plant is located next to a coal-fired power plant that is slated to close or be converted to a different fuel source by 2020.

The East Oregonian reports that the natural gas plant is part of PGE’s 2009 integrated resource plan to meet increased energy demand over the next 20 years.

Carty The new Generating Station will produce enough electricity to power about 300,000 residential customers when it opens in two years. It will be the company’s second natural gas plant in Boardman.

PGE is also building a natural gas plant in Clatskanie and a wind farm in southeast Washington.

PGE is the state’s largest utility and serves 830,000 customers west of the Cascades.

Portland police search for missing woman, 59 PORTLAND (AP) — Portland police are searching for a missing woman whose disappearance they consider suspicious.

Officers were first called to a Northeast Portland home Saturday morning for

a welfare check, and found circumstances that prompted them to call in homicide detectives.

The police presence grew throughout the day.

Neighbors told the Oregonian that they heard loud noises, which a police spokesman said were sounds of officers firing tear gas into the home.

Authorities have been tightlipped about their investigation but are asking for the public’s help in locating a resident of the home, 59-year-old Renee Sandidge. She’s described as 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 100 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes.

Sunday morning, investigators wore masks and white hazmat suits as they gathered evidence from Sandidge’s home.

Bend company prepares to export first vehicle BEND (AP) — A Bend company that makes vehicles for remote, rugged travel is preparing to export its first vehicle.

The first exported EarthCruiser EXP will go to Mongolia.

EarthCruiser USA owner Lance Gillies tells the Bend Bulletin his company delivered its first vehicle to an American customer about two months ago. He says the plant in Bend has two or three vehicles in production at any given time, but he hopes to eventually ramp up to 50.

The vehicles are priced on average at $210,000. They’re made to cross deserts and travel on washboard roads, or through places without roads.

Gillies originally founded his company in his native Australia but moved to Oregon to be closer to his wife’s family. He registered his business in Oregon in 2011 and has eight employees.

Landslide cleanup plans for historic Columbia road PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon Transportation Department officials say cleanup of a rockslide blocking a section of the Historic Columbia River Highway east of Portland resumed on Saturday.

On Friday, rockfall specialists in a lift bucket inspected the 120-foot-tall wall at the site.

On Saturday, rock scalers from Hi-Tech Construction of Forest Grove begin rappelling down the wall to remove any

remaining loose rock.

Then crews will haul the rock away, clear the road and check it for damage.

State highways spokesman Don Hamilton said about 1,000 cubic yards of rock and dirt fell Thursday morning.

The Transportation Department says the slide is west of the Stark Street Bridge, which remains open and allows travel between Troutdale and Corbett.

There is no estimated time for reopening.

BEND (AP) — An evacuation order was lifted for about 200 homes as firefighters battling two fast-moving wildfires just west of Bend worked to keep the flames away from the residences and the city’s watershed, officials said.

Hot and windy weather helped the two blazes, first spotted Saturday afternoon, quickly grow to more than 6,000 acres, nearly 10 square miles.

At one point, evacuation orders went out for 250 homes, but officials said Sunday night residents of 200 of those homes were being allowed to return and just 50 remained under evacuation.

But Deschutes County Sheriff’s spokesman Justin de Ruyter stressed that those given the OK to return as well as some others living in areas west of Bend have been advised that they still might have to evacuate at a moment’s notice.

De Ruyter said that there haven’t been any injuries or reports of serious property damage.

“As far as we know, we haven’t heard of any structures lost,” he told The Associated Press.

Fire officials said about 2,000 homes were in an area that is considered threatened, and several roads in the area were closed.

About 25 people stopped by a Red Cross shelter Saturday for information, water, snacks and other assistance, along with 15 more on Sunday, said Paula Fasano Negele, a spokeswoman.

Crews focused Sunday on preventing the fire from spreading east and south toward the homes, said Lisa

La Grande court plan would raze violence shelter LA GRANDE (AP) — A domestic violence shelter in Union County and its supporters in the community are fighting plans to raze the 16year-old shelter so a new courthouse can be built in its place.

County officials have notified Shelter From the Storm that it must vacate a countyowned building that houses its Community Advocacy Center

by Sept. 1 to make way for the new $3.1 million court building.

More than 130 people turned out last week to protest the plan, the La Grande Observer reporter.

“Let’s let the commissioners know we want them to find a better spot,” co-organizer Sharon Evoy said on a megaphone before the demonstrators marched to the county commission office.

Completed in 1998, the shelter was built with $500,000 from a county grant, so the land and building remain county property.

The county is working under tight deadlines for the new court. State lawmakers kicked in $2 million for the courthouse but are requiring the county to have a general contractor in place by Oct 1.

The county has offered to allow Shelter From the Storm

to use facilities currently used by the court free of charge. But shelter supporters say the space in the so-called Joseph Building is inadequate for the shelter’s needs, especially because it would be leaving a building constructed specifically for it.

“The county commission has declared the Joseph Building as unsafe for judges and juries. There is a sad irony that the commission now wants to move the shelter, and their clients who come from unsafe situations, into a building they have labeled as unsafe,” former County Commissioner John Lamoreau said.

The former commissioner does not deny the need for a new courthouse, but supporters say a new facility shouldn’t be built at the expense of the shelter’s building.

“The commission does not need to jeopardize the shelter in order to provide a new courthouse,” Lamoreau said.

“There is room for both a new courthouse and keeping the shelter at its current location.”

Laura Morgan, fiscal manager for Shelter From the Storm, was pleased with the turnout from the community.

“They organized this,” she said. “Most of them are not employees or board members.”

To the west, they hoped to protect the watershed that supplies drinking water for the City of Bend.

De Ruyter said fire activity fire increased in afternoon, but the flames didn’t jump the containment lines.

He said stronger winds of up to nearly 20 mph are expected today, posing a challenge for firefighters.

As a precaution, the city switched off its surface water and began relying entirely on groundwater. Groundwater supplies are sufficient for Bend’s needs, but the city asked residents to conserve nonetheless in case of extended problems or the need to draw on ground water to fight flames in the city, said Anne Aurand, a spokeswoman for the city.

Fire crews had no estimate for when the fire would likely be contained.

Some evacuees told the Bend Bulletin they’d thinned brush and scooped up pine needles to protect from a wildfire.

“The whole development is in the woods,” said Mike Johnson who lives in the evacuated Saddleback neighborhood, which has 1 plots of 2 ⁄2 acres and bigger.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality said the level of particulates in the air spiked Saturday night in Bend, but the air quality improved overnight, when flames are calmer.

DILBERT

One powerful personal finance tool The most powerful financial tool you have at your disposal is your ability to control your thoughts and the circumstance in your life. Your attitude is the only thing in your life over which you have complete control.

Yo u r EVERYDAY attitude CHEAPSKATE is more important than anything — more important than education or experience. It Mary is more Hunt important than h o w much money you have, how much you owe, what you would like to do or where you want to go.

You cannot design the circumstances of your life.

But you can tailor your attitude in response to those situations. The way you choose to respond to your circumstances from the mundane to the major has the potential to change the course of your life.

Here are some ideas for how you can put your attitude to work for you.

GET ANGRY. Debt is the pits. It eliminates your options, keeps you awake at night, can make you lie to your creditors — even lie to your spouse. I know. I’ve been in horrible debt. So what are you going to do about it? You can continue to whine and complain. Or I have a better idea. Get mad!

Decide once and for all that you will no longer sell your soul to creditors. Not one more day, not one more purchase. Get indignant at the very idea of transferring your future wealth to creditors. Repeat after me: “I’ve had it, and I’m not going to live on credit anymore!”

C A M P A I G N . Think of your attitude as your personal ad agency, public relations firm and marketing organization all rolled into one. Flood your mind with so many compelling messages of hope and encouragement that no space remains for doubt and discouragement.

CONTENTMENT. Choosing to be content doesn’t mean you toss out your goals and dreams.

Contentment is not complacency. It is deciding to want what you have.

Contentment is the way to deal with self-pity and other destructive behaviors.

Contentment is the equivalent of an emotional massage. It feels that good.

GRATITUDE. The simple act of choosing to be grateful for what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t have is powerful beyond words. Sounds cheesy perhaps, but once you experience the power of a grateful heart, you will understand what a powerful antidote it is for the negative attitudes of greed, anger and fear.

SELF TALK. Taking a few moments to have a heartto-heart talk with yourself is an effective way to stop mindless spending. Ask yourself: Do I need this?

Don’t I have something already that will do just as well?

Do I have the cash to pay for it?

Could I delay the purchase for a few weeks?

Am I willing to sit on my decision for 48 hours?

The single best moneysaving strategy I’ve learned over the years is when I run across something I think I have to own, just wait a little while.

More often than not, I don’t go back to buy it because I’ve either forgotten all about it or simply changed my mind.

Pope dives into Mideast peace process

D I G E S T Pakistani Taliban claims responsibility for attack killing 18 KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — The Pakistani Taliban on Monday claimed responsibility for a brazen five-hour assault on the country’s busiest airport that saw gunmen disguised as police guards storm the international terminal in Karachi, set off explosions and kill 18 people.

The Taliban said the assault on the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, the capital of southern Sindh province, was in revenge for the killing last November of the militant group’s leader in a U.S. drone strike.

The claim further diminished prospects for a resumption of governmentled peace talks with the Taliban. Those talks floundered in recent weeks and the Taliban have called off a cease-fire they declared during negotiations. Since then, Pakistani troops have carried out airstrikes in the country’s troubled northwest to target militant hideouts, killing dozens of suspected militants. Residents claim several civilians were also killed in the strikes.

The Karachi assault started late Sunday when 10 gunmen, at least some disguised as policemen, opened fire with machine-guns and rocket launchers, triggering a gunbattle with police during which all the attackers were killed, said Rizwan Akhtar, the chief of Pakistan’s elite paramilitary Rangers.

Heavy gunfire and multiple explosions were heard coming from the terminal, used for VIP flights and cargo, as militants and security forces battled for control. A major fire rose from the airport.

Famed Syrian storyteller’s life upended by war DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — For more than 20 years, the Storyteller of Damascus entertained crowds in a centuries-old cafe in the Syrian capital with long, poetic tales of Arab warriors and lovers, acting out scenes with his fists thumping and a sword that he’d swing and slam on a table.

Rashid Hallak was the most famous of the few remaining “hakawatis” in Syria — traditional reciterperformers of old Arab legends.

Now he’s a 70-year-old broken man, his life upturned

by Syria’s war.

“I am the Storyteller of Damascus,” Hallak said, chain-smoking, in an interview with The Associated Press in the Syrian capital.

“In these events, many people were harmed. I am one of them.”

The war, now in its fourth year, cost him his job and his home, destroyed in shelling.

He’s among the more than 9 million people driven from their homes in a war that has killed more than 160,000, leveled parts of cities and unraveled the country’s social fabric — with no end in sight as rebels and the forces of President Bashar Assad battle.

Clinton to open high-profile book tour WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is embarking on a book tour this week that will feature overtones of a potential presidential campaign in 2016.

The tour could offer a window into the former secretary of state’s stamina and how she might present her rationale for another White House bid.

Clinton’s memoir, “Hard Choices,” will be released on Tuesday, accompanied by interviews with ABC News and other news organizations.

Clinton will appear at book events this week in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and suburban Washington, D.C. The former first lady the leading remains Democratic contender for the White House if she chooses to run for president again.

Republicans have aggressively challenged her record at the State Department in anticipation of another campaign.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis plunged head-first into Mideast peace-making Sunday, welcoming the Israeli and Palestinian presidents to the Vatican for a remarkable evening of peace prayers just weeks after the last round of U.S.sponsored negotiations collapsed.

Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas joked and embraced in the foyer of the Vatican hotel where Francis lives and later in the Vatican gardens, where they joined Francis in presiding over a sunset invocation of Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers.

Francis told the two men, who signed the Oslo peace accords in 1993, that he hoped the summit would mark “a new journey” toward

peace. He said too many children had been killed by war and violence, and that their memory should instill the strength and patience to work for dialogue and coexistence.

“Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare,” he said.

“It calls for the courage to say yes to encounter and no to conflict.”

The event had the air of an outdoor summer wedding, complete with receiving line and guests mingling on the lawn as a string ensemble played. Only the two key protagonists are technically on opposite sides of the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Vatican officials have insisted that Francis had no political agenda in inviting the two leaders to pray at his

home other than to rekindle a desire for peace. But the meeting could have greater symbolic significance, given that Francis was able to bring them together at all so soon after peace talks failed and at a time that the Israeli government is trying to isolate Abbas.

“In the Middle East, symbolic gestures and incremental steps are important,” noted the Rev. Thomas Reese, a veteran Vatican analyst for the National Catholic Reporter. “And who knows what conversations can occur behind closed doors in the Vatican.”

The meeting has also cemented Francis’ reputation as a leader unhindered by diplomatic and theological protocol who is willing to go out on a limb for the sake of peace.

Francis capitalized on both his own enormous popularity and the peaceloving heritage of his namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, to bring the two sides together.

The unusual prayer summit was a feat of diplomatic and religious protocol, organized in the two weeks since Francis issued the surprise invitation to Peres and Abbas from Manger Square in Bethlehem.

It took place in the lush Vatican gardens in the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica, the most religiously neutral place in the tiny city-state. It incorporated Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers, delivered in Hebrew, English, Arabic and Italian and with musical interludes from the three faith traditions.

Darko Tresnjak accepts the award for best direction of a musical for “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder” onstage at the 68th annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday in New York.

‘Gentleman’s Guide,’ McDonald win Tonys NEW YORK (AP) — The murderous romp “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” got a lot of love at Sunday night’s Tony Awards, nabbing the best new musical trophy on a night that also saw Audra McDonald make Broadway history, Bryan Cranston win as a rookie and four-time host Neil Patrick Harris get his own award.

“A Gentlemen’s Guide,” in which a poor man comically eliminates the eight heirs ahead of him for a title, opened rather quietly and has had a steady increase in interest, peaking with its huge win over Disney’s “Aladdin” and the built-in love of Carole King songs from “Beautiful — The Carole King Musical.”

“The little engine that could, did,” said an ecstatic lead producer Joey Parnes.

The show nabbed a total of four wins, including best book of a musical. It was tied for the

most decorated show of the night with “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” an unlikely Broadway hit about obsession, glam rock and a botched sex-change operation.

McDonald, at 43, won her sixth Tony for portraying Billie Holiday in “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill,” putting her ahead of fivetime winners Angela Lansbury and the late Julie Harris for the most competitive wins by an actress.

(Harris has six if her special lifetime achievement award is included.) McDonald got a prolonged standing ovation and among those she thanked were her parents for not medicating their hyperactive child.

The latest win — for best lead actress in a play — also makes McDonald the only woman to win a Tony in all four acting categories. She previously won as best featured actress in a play (”A Raisin in the Sun” and

“Master Class”), best lead actress in a musical (”The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess”) and best featured actress in a musical (”Ragtime” and “Carousel”).

“Hedwig” was led by Neil Patrick Harris, and the former Tony host got his first award — best actor in a musical — after performing a song from the show, looking unrecognizable in a miniskirt and blond feathered wig. He gave audience member Sting a lap dance and took Samuel L. Jackson’s glasses away and licked them.

“A year ago I was hosting the Tonys. This is crazy pants,” he said after donning pants. His co-star Lena Hall won best featured actress in a musical and the show also won for best musical revival and lighting.

Cranston — in a role far from TV’s “Breaking Bad” — won the best lead actor in a play Tony for playing former President Lyndon B. Johnson.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two police officers were “simply having lunch” at a strip mall pizza buffet in Las Vegas when a man and a woman fatally shot them at pointblank range, then fled to a nearby Walmart where they killed a third person and then themselves in an apparent suicide pact, authorities said.

The attack at a CiCi’s Pizza restaurant Sunday killed officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, who are both husbands and fathers.

One of the shooters yelled, “This is a revolution,” but a motive remains under investigation, Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield told The Associated Press.

“It’s a tragic day,” Sheriff Doug Gillespie said at a news conference Sunday afternoon. “But we still have a community to police, and we still have a community to protect. We will be out there doing it with our heads held high, but with an emptiness

in our hearts.”

For added safety, officers who normally work alone will be paired up with another officer for a time, Gillespie said.

The deadly rampage in the aging shopping center about five miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip took place in a matter of minutes. Police were called at 11:22 a.m. to the pizzeria, where one of the officers was able to fire back at his assailants. It’s unclear whether he hit them, Gillespie said.

Shots were reported five minutes later at a nearby WalMart, where the shooters gunned down a person just inside the front door and exchanged gunfire with police before killing themselves, police said.

The female suspect shot the male suspect before killing herself, Gillespie said. The victim’s identity hasn’t been confirmed, and the suspects’ names haven’t been released.

Bombs kill 52 as gunmen storm university in Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) — A series of car bombs exploded across Iraq’s capital Saturday night, killing at least 52 people in a day of violence that saw militants storm a university in the country’s restive Anbar province and take dozens hostage, authorities said.

The attacks in Baghdad largely focused on Shiite neighborhoods, underscoring the sectarian violence now striking at Iraq years after a similar wave nearly tore the country apart following the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Now with U.S.

troops gone, Iraq finds itself fighting on fronts across the country, as separate clashes in a northern city killed 21 police officers and 38 militants, officials said.

The first Baghdad attack took place Saturday night in the capital’s western Baiyaa district, killing nine people and wounding 22, police said. Later on, seven car bombs in different parts of Baghdad killed at least 41 people and wounded 62, police said. A roadside bomb in western Baghdad also killed two people and wounded six, police said.

Trucker charged in crash that injured Tracy Morgan TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan and two members of his entourage were in critical condition Sunday, a day after a tractor-trailer rammed into his chauffeured limousine bus, setting off a deadly chain-reaction pileup.

The former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” cast member was returning from a standup show in Delaware early Saturday with six others when the limo bus overturned on the New Jersey Turnpike near Cranberry Township, killing Morgan’s mentor and fel-

Couples rush to wed in Wisconsin MILWAUKEE (AP) — Dozens of gay couples married Saturday at courthouses in Milwaukee and Madison, taking advantage of what most believed would be a small window in which to get hitched before a judge’s decision overturning the state’s same-sex marriage ban was put on hold.

The decision was announced Friday just as the party was getting started at PrideFest, an annual gay celebration that draws thousands of people to Milwaukee’s festival grounds on Lake Michigan.

Many couples who married Saturday said the judge’s decision had caught them by surprise, and they hadn’t wanted to break Friday night plans. Others needed time to assemble the documents required for a marriage license. Couples began lining up outside the Milwaukee County courthouse at 6 a.m., three hours before it opened.

Gay rights activists have won 15 consecutive lower court cases since a landmark Supreme Court ruling last summer.

low comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair.

A Wal-Mart truck driver was charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto.

Jeffrey Millea, 36, of Shelton, Connecticut, and comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr., 43, of Jersey City, were listed in critical condition along with Morgan at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Zenaida Mendez said Sunday. Another comedian, Harris Stanton, was treated and released from the hospital Saturday.

In this image from video the limousine bus carrying Tracy Morgan and six other people lies on its side early Saturday morning on the New Jersey Turnpike. Morgan remained hospitalized as state and federal officials continued their investigation of the six-vehicle crash on the New Jersey Turnpike that took the life of a Morgan friend and left two others seriously injured, authorities say.

Miss Nevada is named Miss USA BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Newly crowned Miss USA Nia Sanchez, a fourthdegree black belt in the Korean martial art of taekwondo, says that women need to be able to defend themselves as a way to battle the problem of campus rape and that bringing awareness to the issue is very important.

First runner-up was during the Miss USA 2014 pageant in Baton Rouge, Miss North Dakota Audra Mari. Sanchez will go on to La., on Sunday. represent the U.S. at the Miss

Universe competition later this year.

In a vibrant red floorlength fishtail gown, Miss Nevada answered judge Rumer Willis’ question about the high rate of sexual assaults on college campuses. Willis, the 25-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, said 19 percent of U.S. undergraduate women are victims of sexual assault and asked Sanchez why she thinks the issue is being swept under the rug and what should be done about it.

Sanchez said women need to take it upon themselves to learn how to defend themselves.

BERGDAHL Qatar was the intermediary Continued from Page A1 unconventional and openended war that never fit neatly into the Geneva Conventions, U.S. military doctrine or slogans about how to behave.

The soldier’s creed History is replete with extraordinary acts to bring home the lost and fallen.

The U.S. Army’s Warrior Ethos and the Soldier’s Creed both swear, “I will never leave a fallen comrade,” and all the services place a premium on returning the missing, captured and dead. Often this comes at great cost, as in the 1993 Black Hawk Down battle in Somalia in which 18 U.S. servicemen were killed in the attack on U.S. helicopters and the subsequent rescue attempt.

And a soldier need not be a hero to qualify for a rescue mission or prisoner swap.

Sen. John Republican McCain of Arizona, tortured as a captive in the Vietnam War, says Bergdahl was just as entitled as himself, no matter what the soldier was up to when he vanished.

McCain’s quarrel was over the risk that he said the deal poses for others. “We have the obligation to do whatever

we can to bring any of our captured service men and women back,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“But the question is at what cost, whether it would put the lives of other American men and women who are serving in danger? And in my view, clearly this would.”

To be sure, such risk assessments are not new.

The debate over Bergdahl picked up as world leaders and ordinary citizens commemorated the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The legions storming the beaches of Normandy, France, from the sea and dropping behind German lines from the sky faced snap decisions under withering fire about what to do with the wounded or trapped.

Army history tells of wounded paratroopers left behind for the sake of the mission or the survival of their units. Sometimes medics were left behind, too, because they insisted on staying with the injured.

When the Korean War ended in 1953, thousands of missing and dead American soldiers were left behind, as well as POWs, as U.S. forces retreated from North Korea.

Not all the missing and dead were returned after the truce and there was strong evidence some POWs were not handed over. Today the Pentagon is still trying to retrieve remains through a process, currently stalled, of paying North Koreans to

support field excavations. agency A Pentagon responsible for helping captured troops says the mission of returning them is “truly and uniquely an indelible part of the American way.”

But it’s not the only part.

Another American way Never negotiate with terrorists or hostage-takers?

Not quite never.

The Sept. 11 attacks broke open the modern age of asymmetric warfare.

Asymmetric dealmaking, diplomacy and national security went hand in hand with that. The old standards and slogans still had meaning but improvisation was required.

Prisoners taken in the fight against terrorism could not be considered prisoners of war in the U.S. government’s estimation because branding them POWs might extend them rights they were not accorded at Guantanamo, never mind the now-discontinued CIA “black sites.”

Meantime, ways were found to talk with unconventional enemies.

As in Bergdahl’s case, where the government of Qatar served as go-between, intermediaries are usually involved to maintain a semblance of separation between two sides that aren’t really supposed to be dealing with each other.

Just months after the 2001 attacks, the U.S. dropped its straightforward ban on government involvement in

stage of the research,” said Mark Weick, director of sustainability programs for Dow. “But for this to become something that is an emission control, everyone needs to know it works.”

Many plants, and especially trees, capture pollution naturally when it hits their leaves. Trees with the biggest leaves and the widest canopies capture the most pollutants, especially nitrogen oxide, a common byproduct of combustion that can irritate lungs and contributes to the formation of groundlevel ozone. The reforestation proposal imagines emissions from Dow’s largest North American factory drifting downwind into the trees near Freeport, Texas.

Dow and the Nature Conservancy began a six-year, $10 million collaboration in 2011, when they came together to look at ways natural resources could be used to save the company money.

ransom to hostage-takers, for example. The new policy created more wiggle room for the U.S. to facilitate ransom payments and to shape negotiations, however indirectly, with captors.

To be sure, unsavory and prohibited deal-making has a long history, too.

Ronald Reagan’s presidency is stained by the Iran-contra scandal, in which Iran, designated a state sponsor of terrorism, was to be secretly sold U.S. arms in exchange for the release of hostages, with proceeds steered illegally to Nicaraguan rebels.

The ethos against granting concessions of any kind to scoundrels gave rise to a patriotic rallying cry a century ago in the time of President Teddy Roosevelt and a Moroccan plunderer who became known as the first terrorist of the 1900s.

Ahmed ibnAfter Muhammed Raisuli took Greek-American businessman Ion Perdicaris hostage for money and political influence, the U.S. strongarmed Morocco’s sultan with this ultimatum: “Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead.”

Days later, Perdicaris was free. But it turned out the U.S. had quietly pressed for Raisuli’s ransom demands to be met, which they were.

The U.S. appeared to be wielding Roosevelt’s big stick.

Actually it spoke softly to a terrorist.

the federal Environmental Protection Agency that suggested reforestation could improve air quality, the two groups decided to research how the idea might work and whether it could be costeffective.

Scientists used a complex model from the U.S. Forest Service that considers everything from wind patterns to the size of tree leaves and the overall canopy to estimate the air-quality improvements that might come from 1,000 acres of forest.

“The big discovery was that you could combine the traditional infrastructure with reforestation and still meet regulation,” said Laura Huffman, the conservancy’s director in Texas.

The research found that over 30 years a 1,000-acre forest would remove 4 to 7 tons of nitrogen oxide annually, said Timm Kroeger, a senior environmental economist at the conservancy.

Scientists explore using trees to clean pollution FREEPORT, Texas (AP) — Before Houston and its suburbs were built, a dense forest naturally purified the coastal air along a stretch of the Texas Gulf Coast that grew thick with pecan, ash, live oak and hackberry trees.

It was the kind of pristine woodland that was mostly wiped out by settlers in their rush to clear land and build communities. Now one of the nation’s largest chemical companies and one of its oldest conservation groups have forged an unlikely partnership that seeks to recreate some of that forest to curb pollution.

The plan drafted by Dow Chemical and the Nature Conservancy is only in its infancy and faces many hurdles. But it envisions a day when expensive machines used to capture industrial pollutants might be at least partially replaced by restoring some of the groves of native trees that once filled the land.

Douse them with water, stir the ashes, and douse with more water, then check for heat. Repeat as needed until the heat is gone. “(You) need to have the area cleared around the burn area and stay with (the burn) until it’s out or until you put it out,” he said.

Merkley re-election ad ties Wehby to national GOP PORTLAND (AP) — Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley is rolling out a new television ad that seeks to align his Republican rival with the national GOP agenda.

A Merkley campaign spokesman says the ad began airing over the weekend and will ramp up Monday.

Since last month’s primaries wrapped up, Merkley

has been fighting aggressively to define himself and Republican nominee Monica Wehby while she has little money to fight back.

Merkley’s ad says “national Republicans want Wehby in the Senate to vote for their priorities.”

Wehby’s campaign manager, Charlie Pearce, says that is “patently false.”

Junior wins at Pocono

The Associated Press

Miami forward LeBron James dunks as San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard looks on during the first half Sunday. Miami beat the Spurs to pull even in the NBA Finals.

Miami pulls even in NBA Finals SAN ANTONIO (AP) — LeBron James knew he had to do more than just get his body right between Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals.

His mind needed a little work as well.

So that’s why, without anyone else with him — no security, no friends, nobody, and that almost never happens — James quietly showed up at a theater a couple miles from where the Miami Heat were staying for a 5:40 p.m. showing Saturday of “Maleficent.” And it’s also why he and his regular massage therapist joined two strangers for a yoga class at 8 a.m.

Sunday, where he focused on his breathing.

“I needed to get everything right,” James said.

After a virtuoso, cramp-free performance, it looks like he succeeded.

The NBA Finals are headed back to Miami knotted at a game apiece, and James’ weekend of work away from the court paid big dividends on the floor to make that happen. He scored 33 of his 35 points in the final three quarters,

made a play call to set up Chris Bosh’s 3-pointer that provided the 17th and final lead change of the night with 1:18 left, and the Heat topped the San Antonio Spurs 9896 in Game 2 on Sunday night.

“I just try to make plays out there on the floor,” said James, who had to leave Game 1 in the final minutes because of cramps.

“And like I continue to say, put myself and my teammates in a position to succeed and live with the results after that.”

Just like last year’s finals, the Spurs won Game 1 and the Heat took Game 2.

That should be no surprise.

Miami is 13-0 since June 2012 in playoff games following a loss.

“We’ll figure it out,” San Antonio’s Tim Duncan said. “We have things to talk about and film to look at and we’ll be ready for the next one.”

The next one is Tuesday night.

Bosh scored 18 points for Miami, which got 14 apiece from Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis.

There were a lot of things on the stat sheet that would suggest it was a long night for the Heat — like

having their bench outscored 3712, finishing with only 16 assists, trailing by 11 points in the early going and giving up 12 3-pointers.

Having James cures a whole lot of ills. When the Spurs seemed on the brink of building a decent lead in the third quarter, he needed about a minute to snuff it out with a personal 8-0 run. And in the fourth, he was the primary ballhandler, driving, pulling up or passing based on what the defense showed him. His signature play was finding Bosh for a corner 3pointer that put Miami up for good.

“You can double (James) if you want,” said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, whose team had won nine straight playoff games at home, the last eight all by at least 15 points. “He’s a pretty good player. I’m going to guess he’s going to find the open man.”

Tony Parker scored 21 points for the Spurs, who got 19 from Manu Ginobili and an 18-point, 15-rebound night from Duncan, who tied Magic Johnson for the NBA record with his 157th career playoff double-double. But the Spurs shot just 40 percent in the

last three quarters, and saw Parker and Duncan miss four free throws over a nine-second span of the final quarter.

Miami guard Mario Chalmers was driving with 6:43 left when he elbowed Parker in the midsection, getting called for a Flagrant-1 foul.

But Parker missed both free throws. On the Spurs’ possession that immediately followed, Duncan missed two more.

“It definitely affected me,” Parker said of the pain from the Chalmers elbow, which left him writhing on the court for a few moments. “But I’m a little bit frustrated. Should have made them.”

One play never wins or loses a game by itself, but that stretch sure loomed large.

“It was a toughie,” Ginobili said.

It wound up getting tougher a few seconds later.

James made a 3-pointer from the left wing, said a few words to those in the courtside seats, and the Heat had an 88-87 lead. Back and forth the teams went, but in the end, the Heat simply found a way.

Nadal captures ninth French Open title PARIS (AP) — Trying to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open is, without a doubt, the toughest task in tennis. Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports.

The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot. That bullwhip of a high-bouncing, topspin lefty forehand. Those quick-reflex returns that help him break an opponent’s serve — and his will.

Doing what he does so well on the red clay of Roland Garros, a surface and site he dominates so completely, the No. 1-seeded Nadal wore down No. 2 Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 in a muggy final Sunday to win his ninth French Open championship and fifth in a row, both records.

“For me,” Nadal said, “playing here in Roland Garros is just unforgettable, forever.”

It is also his 14th Grand Slam title overall, tying the 28-year-old Spaniard with Pete Sampras for the second most by a man, behind only Roger Federer’s 17.

That includes Nadal’s two trophies apiece at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, along with one from the Australian Open, proving he can beat the best on grass and hard courts, too. But it’s on the clay of Paris where Nadal reigns supreme: He has won 66 of 67 career French Open matches.

Since the only loss, against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009, Nadal has won 35 consecutive matches at Roland Garros.

No other man has won more than seven titles at any of tennis’ four majors.

“It’s not impossible, but it’s very, very difficult to stay with Rafa in this court, throughout the whole match, on the highest level of performance,” said Djokovic, who was broken in the final game of each set, including with an anticlimactic double-fault on match point.

The Associated Press

Rafael Nadal holds the trophy after winning the final of the French Open tennis tournament against Novak Djokovic at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris on Sunday.

Nadal ensured that he, not Djokovic, will be ranked No. 1 on Monday. In the process, Nadal once again prevented six-time major champion Djokovic from completing a career Grand Slam.

“He deserves to win this tournament,” Nadal said. “I am sure he will do it in the future.”

Djokovic had won their four most recent matches, including on clay in the best-ofthree-set final at Rome last month. Beating Nadal in best-of-five is a whole other matter.

Nadal also topped Djokovic in the 2012 final, and the 2013 semifinals. In all, Nadal leads

Djokovic 6-0 at the French Open, 9-3 at major tournaments, and 23-19 in total. No other pair of men has played each other as often.

The defeat in Rome was one of three this season on clay for Nadal, raising questions about whether he’d be unbeatable at Roland Garros this time. There also was the matter of his troublesome back, which flared up during a loss to Stan Wawrinka in the Australian Open final and slowed his serve at times during the French Open.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. is having a blast again, with a shared bond with his crew, comfort in his own skin as NASCAR’s most popular driver, even finding fun 140 characters at a time on Twitter.

Winning races sure has a way of easing burdens on Junior.

Earnhardt turned Brad Keselowski’s trash into Victory Lane treasure, pulling away down the stretch Sunday at Pocono Raceway for his second win of the season and a secured spot in the Chase field.

He paired his first career win at Pocono with his Daytona 500 championship for his first multiwin season since 2004.

“I feel like I’m such a lucky guy to have this second opportunity again to be competitive,” Earnhardt said.

But for as strong as he ran in the No. 88 Chevrolet, Keselowski giftwrapped this win when he yielded the lead with five laps left in a desperate attempt to clear debris from his grille and cool his overheated engine.

Keselowski’s gamble backfired — he couldn’t get the draft needed from the lapped traffic to clear his car and make one final pass for the win on Earnhardt. Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford still had the oomph in the engine needed to finish the race, and he had his secondstraight runner-up finish.

“It was definitely a mistake because the engine made it,” Keselowski said, rubbing his face.

“It probably shouldn’t have.”

Junior shook off the rising red gauges in the No. 88 that could have had his car meet a similar fate as Keselowski.

“They were still within good reason to stand on it and give it hell,” he said.

Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin and rookie Kyle Larson completed the top five.

Earnhardt gave Hendrick Motorsports four straight wins, following Jeff Gordon at Kansas and Jimmie Johnson’s victory at Charlotte and Dover. Johnson overcame a pit road accident to finish sixth.

Owner Rick Hendrick texted Earnhardt before the race to let him know he would not attend and would see him next week at Michigan. Earnhardt told him, “I’ll drink one for you after it’s over.”

Earnhardt stuck to his end of the deal, spraying all types of beverages in a jubilant Victory Lane.

Johnson was the first driver over to congratulate him.

I don’t have much to do tomorrow,” Earnhardt said, grinning.

“Tonight’s going to be a long one.”

Earnhardt, long NASCAR’s most popular driver, gave the Pocono crowd plenty of reason to go wild. He was mobbed by almost 100 fans outside the Pocono media center, screaming his name and clamoring for a picture with the winner.

He waved and ducked into a waiting car, whisked away for another party.

Maybe the fans should try tweeting at him to earn his attention.

A reluctant participant on Twitter for years, Earnhardt warmed fast to the social media site after winning Daytona. He said he underestimated the amount of fun he’d have interacting with fans.

He loved the “go get ’ems” that dot his feed, though it’s the “haters” that he really feeds off.

“The real short ones, like, ‘You suck,’ those are the best ones,” he said, smiling. “I just favorite them and block them. It’s so much fun.”

Earnhardt’s second win means he is guaranteed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. He won for the 29th time in 519 career Sprint Cup starts.

“When we won at Daytona, man, it made the rest of the year a lot more relaxing, a lot easier,” he said. “It makes it fun because you can just go to the track and just race, not worry about points.”

Timbers earn first MLS win at Salt Lake stadium SANDY, Utah (AP) — Fanendo Adi scored a pair of goals and the Portland Timbers beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 Saturday night for their first victory at Rio Tinto Stadium.

Luke Mulholland scored for RSL, playing without team captain Kyle Beckerman and goalkeeper Nick Rimando while they are with the U.S. national team for the World Cup. Timbers captain Will Johnson scored in

the 73rd minute on a penalty kick he buried in the lower left corner.

Real Salt Lake (6-2-7) was coming off a midweek 1-1 draw at Columbus. RSL had its record-tying 12-match unbeaten streak to start the season stopped last weekend with a 4-0 loss to Seattle.

The Timbers (4-4-7) were coming off a 4-3 loss at home to the Cascadia rival Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend.

Mulholland took Chris Schuler’s header and beat Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts in the 23rd minute. Adi got the equalizer on a rebound in the 36th minute, then scored on a header in the 45th.

It was Adi’s second brace this season.

The Nigerian striker joined the Timbers last month on loan from Danish first-division side FC Copenhagen.

Real Salt Lake’s Tony Beltran was sent off in the 54th minute after taking down Portland’s Darlington Nagbe for his second yellow card, and Salt Lake played down a man for the rest of the match.

Real Salt Lake is 5-2-3 against Portland since the Timbers joined MLS in 2011. Last season, RSL beat Portland in the two-leg, goal-aggregate Western Conference championship to advance to the MLS Cup.

Sports Henley takes title with no-hitter THE WORLD

The Associated Press

Tonalist (11), ridden by jockey Joel Rosario, edges out Commissioner (8), with Javier Castellano up, to win the 146th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. California Chrome (2), the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner and ridden by Victor Espinoza, finished fourth.

Triple Crown drought continues NEW YORK (AP) — California Chrome went home to the West Coast on Sunday with a bandaged right front foot — and no Triple Crown — after bumping another horse leaving the Belmont Stakes starting gate.

Steve Coburn, who co-owns California Chome, was still smarting, too.

He was irked Belmont winner Tonalist didn’t run in either of the first two legs of the Triple Crown. After the race, he complained others took “the coward’s way out” by skipping the Derby and/or the Preakness.

A day later, Coburn was unrepentant.

“It’s not fair to these horses that are running to entertain these people in all three legs of the Triple Crown,” he said.

“It’s not fair to them to have somebody just show up at the last minute and run.

I may have gone off half-cocked yesterday, but that’s the way I feel.”

Under Coburn’s premise, there would have been just three horses in the $1.5 million Belmont, making it unlikely the third-largest crowd of 102,199 would have shown up or that a record $19,105,877 would have been wagered on-track.

California Chrome, General a Rod and Ride On Curlin were the only horses to run in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont. General a Rod finished seventh and Ride On Curlin did not finish.

Art Sherman, the 77-year-old trainer of California Chrome, distanced himself from Coburn’s comments.

“Horses aren’t cowards and the people aren’t cowards,” he said. “He was at the heat of the moment. Don’t forget he’s a fairly new owner. Sometimes your emotions get in front of you. He hasn’t been in the game long and hasn’t had any bad luck.”

Coburn and Perry Martin named their racing operation Dumb Ass Partners, with California Chrome the lone horse in their stable. The chestnut colt has earned $3,317,800 this year and brought a six-race winning streak into the Belmont.

California Chrome had smooth trips

Owner apologizes NEW YORK (AP) — California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn has apologized for his bitter remarks after his horse failed to win the Triple Crown.

On ABC’s “Good Morning America” today, Coburn said he was “very ashamed of myself. Very ashamed. I need to apologize to a lot of people, including my wife, Carolyn.” She tried to intervene as Saturday’s interview got out of control.

He also apologized to the connections of winning horse Tonalist, saying: “I did not mean to take anything away from them.” in winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness to set up a shot at racing’s first Triple Crown in 36 years. But he had a rough trip in the 11⁄2-mile Belmont on Saturday, getting a chunk of flesh torn from his foot after bumping with Matterhorn coming out of the starting gate. California Chrome finished in a dead heat for fourth with Wicked Strong.

“It was kind of scary. You come back and see a horse bleeding from the foot,” Sherman said. “He’s never had anything wrong with him. We’ve been awful fortunate.”

Sherman said California Chrome has a superficial wound that should heal in two to three weeks. The colt will then rest for six to seven weeks after a tough Triple Crown campaign that involved running in three races at different tracks and distances over five weeks.

His camp plans to point him toward the Breeders’ Cup this fall at Santa Anita.

Sherman thought Coburn would apologize for his comments. Instead, the outspoken co-owner went even fur-

ther Sunday.

“It wouldn’t be fair if I played basketball with a child in a wheelchair because I got an unfair advantage,” Coburn said. “If your horse is good enough to run in the Belmont, where was he in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness? It says Triple Crown, not one out of two, one out of three or two out of three.”

Sherman said, “I can’t make excuses. That’s not really what you should do in these type of races.”

Frenchman Christophe Clement, who won his first Triple Crown race with Totalist, declined to comment on Coburn’s remarks.

Coburn had predicted California Chrome would win the Triple Crown.

“If they want to call me a sore loser, I don’t care,” he said.

Horses are made eligible for the Triple Crown races in January. Owners and trainers of horses not nominated can pay a late fee of $6,000 in March to get in. The 20-horse field for the Kentucky Derby is decided by a points system, with horses earning points for running in prep races. The Preakness and Belmont have maximum fields of 14, but no points system is used.

It’s common for horses to drop in and out of the Triple Crown series. In 1978, when Affirmed won the Triple Crown, the Belmont had a five-horse field. Two of the colt’s rivals did not run in the first two legs and one only ran in the Derby.

In 1977, Seattle Slew won the Triple Crown. The Belmont had eight horses, and five did not run in the first two legs.

One ran only in the Preakness, and one other besides Slew raced in all three legs.

On Saturday, second-place finisher Commissioner was new to the Triple Crown series. Winner Tonalist wasn’t ready for the Derby, so trainer Clement prepared him for the Belmont.

“California Chrome was running with tough, fresh horses that were waiting in the wings, and that’s what happens,” Sherman said. “We all know when you’re on this trail you got to have an iron horse.”

Sharapova goes three sets for title PARIS (AP) — With red clay still staining her shoes and socks, Maria Sharapova is already getting ready for the toughest transition in tennis.

Sharapova won her second French Open title in three years on Saturday, beating Simona Halep 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-4 in the final at Roland Garros. It’s her fifth Grand Slam title overall and it comes 10 years after her first, which she won on the grass of Wimbledon. matter,” “Doesn’t Sharapova said, already thinking ahead to the next few weeks. “Wimbledon is right around the corner, and that’s what I’ll be working for.”

Clay is the slowest surface on the tennis circuit, and the one that used to give Sharapova the most trouble.

TENNIS From Page B1 1

For 3 ⁄ 2 hours Sunday, when the sky was crystal clear and the temperature touched 80 degrees (27 Celsius), Djokovic gave everything he had, even spitting up on court.

“I played at the maximum of my power, my strength, and my capability,” Djokovic said, “but Rafa was the best player.”

Using his backhand to

Before her shoulder surgery in 2008, she had won each of the other three major titles once, but she struggled on the clay in Paris, once famously referring to herself

as a “cow on ice” when playing on the surface.

But now 27 and the owner of two French Open titles, those days are behind her.

Sharapova is 20-1 over the

last three years at Roland Garros, and has won 20 straight three-set matches on the surface.

None of that matters now, though, because it’s time to turn her attention to Wimbledon, the site of her first major title and the focus of her hopes for a sixth.

“I don’t care what my results were in the past. You start from a clean slate,” Sharapova said, looking ahead to the tournament that starts on June 23 at the All England Club in southwest London.

“That’s how I go into a Grand Slam. I don’t think that I’ve won it before, because when you have the mentality that you’ve won it, then it gets boring. You have to go out there hungry and want to compete for more.”

great effect against Nadal’s forehand early, Djokovic grabbed the first set, and got to 5-all in the second.

“I felt,” Nadal said, “the match was more in his hands at the beginning.”

Knowing that overcoming a two-set hole might be too much even for him, Nadal raised his level, taking 20 of 26 points to claim that set and a 3-0 lead in the third.

“Without that second set, I don’t know if I have this trophy with me now,” Nadal would say later.

When a down-the-line forehand winner ended the second set, Nadal leaped and shook both fists, his first sign of real emotion.

“The momentum went (to) his side,” Djokovic said. “I started playing quite bad and didn’t move as well.

Struggled a little bit physically throughout that third set.”

That was apparent. His cheeks were flushed. He put his hand on his heaving chest. He wobbled and nearly fell over while sitting on his changeover bench.

Still, after trailing 4-2 in the fourth, Djokovic made one last stand. As skilled a retriever as his formidable foe — Djokovic won 10 of the first 15 points that lasted at least 10 strokes — he came up with a desperation defensive lob that landed right near the baseline, drawing a netted overhead from Nadal to earn a break point. Soon, it was 4-all.

But Nadal steadied himself to hold to 5-4, then broke one last time. Soon enough, he was clutching the French Open trophy, his trophy.

Rangers return home facing 2-0 finals deficit Los Angeles won first two games of Stanley Cup finals in overtime at home ■

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers know they will have the raucous Madison Square Garden crowd on their side in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.

The whistle and the bounces? That is a whole other story.

When the Rangers analyze their two overtime losses to the Kings in Los Angeles, they likely will be happy about much of them — other than the result, of course.

New York hasn’t trailed for one second in the nine regulation periods played in the championship round, yet the Rangers return home in an 02 hole.

They led by two early in their 3-2 single overtime loss in Game 1 and then had three two-goal edges in Game 2, only to fall 5-4 in double overtime Saturday night.

The starts were good, the middles provided success, too.

The third periods and overtimes have been the difference, and that is what matters.

New York was outshot 20-3 in the third period of Game 1 and outscored 2-0 in the final regulation frame of Game 2.

Both teams spent Sunday flying to New York before Game 3 on Monday night.

“The series isn’t over yet,” said Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh, who had a goal and assist in the first period and logged a teamhigh 37:48 of ice time in Game 2. “They’ve got a 2-0 lead, but we’re going home.

We’re excited. We’ve got to use our crowd.

“We’ve got to start Game 3 at home having a good approach, keep staying with it, keep believing.”

The resilient Kings are doing to the Rangers what they did to the Sharks, Ducks and defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks before them. If New York wants to avoid the head-shaking those clubs endured after being eliminated in seven games, the story line must change quickly Monday.

It will be one of the hottest tickets at the Garden in years, but the Rangers’ first trip to the finals in two decades could be over in a hurry if their finishes don’t soon match their beginnings.

“A couple crazy bounces, a couple crazy plays,”

Rangers forward Chris Kreider said. “Stuff goes in for them, stuff doesn’t go in for us. It’s hockey. It’s not always fair.”

They have jumped to 2-0 leads in the first period in each game, but Los Angeles never gives up or gives in.

New York was 10-0 in these playoffs when entering the third with a lead. The Kings changed that Saturday when they turned a 4-2 deficit into a tie and then won it 10:26 into double overtime.

“They come out flying in the third, and it was 10-12 minutes where they put some pressure on us,” New York defenseman Marc Staal said.

“They’re a team that capitalizes on their opportunities.”

One of those started Los Angeles’ latest third-period comeback.

The Rangers balked loudly at Dwight King’s goal that made it 4-3 at 1:58, claiming it shouldn’t have counted because K ing prevented goalie Henrik Lundqvist from making a save. New York was penalized for goalie interference earlier when the puck wasn’t in the area of Jonathan Quick’s crease.

King was struck by Matt Greene’s hard drive that found the net and fell onto Lundqvist. Los Angeles gained momentum, tied it on former Rangers forward Marian Gaborik’s NHL-leading 13th goal of the playoffs, and claimed its 2-0 series edge on captain Dustin Brown’s tally.

“We played well,” frustrated New York coach Alain Vigneault said. “We gave ourselves a chance to play.

They’re a good team. We had some looks in overtime, just couldn’t score.”

The Kings have won three straight in overtime without leading in any before the end, and trailing by two goals in each. Los Angeles has been outscored 4-1 in the first period by the Rangers, but the Kings have a 7-2 edge the rest of the way.

“We’re doing a lot of things that haven’t been in our game for years. We’re getting away with it,” said forward Jarret Stoll, who scored the Kings’ first goal in Game 2. “Don’t get me wrong, we did a lot of good things to come back, down 20, down 4-2. Resiliency to come back and battle and push and pull everybody into it, battle for that tying goal and the winning goal again.

“We’ve got to be honest with how we’re playing. We know we’ve got more.”

Sports Morgan’s return is bright spot as Portland loses to Flash PORTLAND (AP) — Alex Morgan’s return didn’t go as she had hoped.

Finally healed from an ankle injury that had kept her sidelined since last fall, Morgan made her longawaited season debut for the Portland Thorns on Saturday night — but her team fell 5-0 to the Western New York Flash.

“It was hard for me because I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time,” she said.

Morgan now heads off to training with the U.S. national team, along with Thorns teammates Allie Long and Tobin Heath. They’ll join the Flash’s Abby Wambach

and Carli Lloyd on the U.S. team for the first of two exhibition matches against France in Tampa, Florida, on June 14.

Morgan, who has 40 goals in 70 international appearances, first hurt her ankle during training late last October but she played a match against Brazil on Nov. 10.

The Thorns are 4-3-2 this season and ranked fifth in the nine-team NWSL, which is in the midst of its second season. Morgan had eight goals and five assists last season for the Thorns, who won the league’s inaugural championship.

Despite Morgan’s return, the Thorns fell to the Flash 5-

0. Morgan, however, appeared in good form. She challenged Western New York goalkeeper Lydia Williams on fast breaks in the 76th and 86th minutes, but just missed each time.

The Thorns were hurt when goalkeeper Nadine Angerer was sent off in the first half with a red card.

Because they were down a player, the Thorns were not able to sub out Morgan late in the game.

“Obviously her touch is going to get better with more training,” coach Paul Riley said.

Morgan was greeted with wild applause when her name was introduced in the start-

ing lineup by the 13,838 fans that came to see the rivalry match. She was clearly disappointed afterward that the Thorns did not give the crowd a win.

“It was just not a good game for us,” she said. “At all.”

Riley is being cautious about bringing Morgan along too quickly. The U.S. team is going to need her healthy as it begins its preparations for the women’s World Cup in 2015.

U.S. Soccer said earlier this week that Morgan will be evaluated by the team’s medical and performance staff The Associated Press ahead of the matches in Portland’s Alex Morgan fires a shot against Western New York during Tampa and five days later at East Hartford, Connecticut. Saturday’s match.

Yoervis Medina (3-1) threw a scoreless eighth for the win.

Red Sox 5, Tigers 3: David Ortiz hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning, and Boston snapped a five-game losing streak.

The Red Sox left men on base all night long, including when Ortiz was retired on a deep flyball to center in the seventh. But there was no doubt about his homer off Joba Chamberlain (1-3), which carried about halfway up the section of seats beyond the wall in right.

The veteran right-hander lasted six innings in his latest effort, giving up six hits to the punchless Yankees but only allowing only one unearned run.

Jeff Locke (0-1) also pitched seven solid innings in a spot start for the Pirates. The left-hander allowed three hits, struck out five and walked one.

Lucroy led off the seventh with a liner down the left-field line that was grabbed by a fan while it was in play.

Lucroy went to third on Carlos Gomez’s lineout to center and scored on Ramirez’s bouncer to first.

Marlins 4, Cubs 3: Giancarlo Stanton scored the go-ahead run on Pedro Strop’s wild pitch in the eighth inning, and Miami snapped Chicago’s five-game winning streak.

The Marlins trailed 3-2 before they pushed across two runs in the eighth.

Garrett Jones had a sacrifice fly before Stanton came home on the wild pitch from Strop (0-3).

Giants 6, Mets 4: Gregor Blanco

doubled, singled and drove in three runs, and the surging Giants earned their fifth consecutive win.

Curtis Granderson tagged Tim Lincecum with two homers, the biggest highlights of New York’s season-high sixth straight loss. Lincecum (5-4) allowed six hits, struck out six and walked one in six innings.

Diamondbacks 6, Braves 5: Arizona right-hander Chase Anderson pitched seven innings to become the third pitcher since 1998 to win his first five major league starts.

David Peralta and Paul Goldschmidt each hit a two-run homer in Arizona’s six-run seventh inning. It was Peralta’s first major league homer.

Anderson (5-0) had a career-best eight strikeouts. He allowed two runs and five hits on his way to becoming the first pitcher to win his first five starts since Jered Weaver won seven straight in 2006.

Dodgers 6, Rockies 1, 5 1/2 innings: Hanley Ramirez homered, Clayton Kershaw struck out nine and the Dodgers won a game cut short by rain in the sixth inning.

The Dodgers broke it open with four runs in the top of the sixth. The game was then delayed 1 hour, 35 minutes before it was called.

Kershaw (5-2) allowed three hits in five innings.

Nationals 6, Padres 0: Jordan Zimmermann took a perfect game into the sixth inning and finished with a two-hitter and a career-high 12 strikeouts for Washington.

Ian Desmond hit his second two-run home run in as many games.

Zimmermann (5-2) faced only two batters over the minimum as he walked none in his first complete game of the season and sixth of his career. It was his third career shutout.

Padres left-hander Eric Stults (2-7) lasted only 2 1-3 innings, the shortest of his 85 career starts.

INTERLEAGUE Cardinals 5, Blue Jays 0: Jaime Garcia and two relievers combined on a three-hitter, Matt Carpenter and Jhonny Peralta homered, and the Cardinals beat the Blue Jays.

Pat Neshek worked the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal finished for the Cardinals, who have a Major Leaguehigh 12 shutouts this season. Texas entered Sunday with 11.

UC Irvine realizes it’s on a terrific run, but the Anteaters don’t need any such labels.

They just keep on winning.

Andrew Morales pitched a five-hit shutout to lead UC Irvine to a 1-0 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday night that clinched the super regional series and sent the Anteaters to the College World Series.

UC Irvine (40-23) advanced to Omaha for first time since 2007 and just the second time overall since becoming a Division I program in 2002.

The two-game sweep continues an unlikely run for the Anteaters, who entered the Corvallis regional last week as the No. 3 seed having lost six straight and eight of nine. But they upset national No. 1 seed Oregon State to advance.

“In those eight losses, we were on the other side of this type of game five times,” UC

The Associated Press

UC Irvine players celebrate their win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Irvine coach Mike Gillespie said. “A loss is a loss, but the fact is, we did play well and we really pitched well. So the fact that we’ve done well (since), it’s really not as big a shock as it looks like, because our pitching has really given us chances time after time.”

Morales earned his third postseason victory in eight days, striking out eight and walking two in nine innings.

The Anteaters scored the

game’s only run in the first inning on Jonathan Munoz’s RBI double, and Morales made it stand.

It was a disappointing ending for Oklahoma State (48-18), which was hosting a super regional for the first time and seeking its first trip to the College World Series since 1999.

Oklahoma State’s highpowered offense, which had scored a combined 27 runs in

the Cowboys’ three regional victories last week, managed just four runs and 12 hits in the two-game series.

Vanderbilt 12, Stanford 5: Vince Conde and John Norwood had three hits and two RBIs each and Vanderbilt combined for six runs in the seventh and eighth innings to beat Stanford 12-5 Sunday to advance to the College World Series.

Bryan Reynolds also had three hits and Conde, Norwood and Reynolds each scored twice as the Commodores (46-19) finished with 15 hits against eight Cardinal pitchers to secure their second trip to Omaha and first since 2011. eliminated Vanderbilt Oregon a week ago in the regional round.

Vanderbilt had six hits in the top of the first against Logan James (3-4) to jump out to a 5-0 lead, but Stanford (34-26) closed to 54 in the bottom of the third.

Danny Diekroeger had three hits for the Cardinal.

Park earns first LPGA victory of the season WATERLOO, Ontario — Inbee Park won the Manulife Financial Classic for her first LPGA Tour title in more than 11 months on Sunday, matching the course record with a 10-under 61 for a threestroke victory over Christie Kerr, who closed with a 62.

A week after losing the top spot in the world ranking to Stacy Lewis, Park finished at 23-under 261 at Grey Silo for her 10th LPGA Tour title and first since the U.S. Women’s Open.

The 25-year-old South Korean player had only one bogey in 72 holes — on the fourth hole in the first round.

On Sunday, she played the front nine in 5-under 31 and added birdies on Nos. 10, 1214 and 18.

The tournament at the All England Club starts June 23.

“I’m excited by the possibilities of the new partnership and Amelie is someone I have always looked up to and admired,” Murray said in a statement. “She’s faced adversity plenty of times in her career, but was an amazing player and won major titles, including Wimbledon.”

SOCCER Americans win final tuneup for World Cup SAO PAULO — The U.S. headed to Brazil with boosted faith Sunday after going undefeated in its sendoff series for the first time.

Playing only its third match in nine months against a World Cup team, the U.S. defense appeared firmer in a 2-1 win over Nigeria following the decision to start both Jermaine Jones and Kyle Beckerman in midfield. And Jozy Altidore broke a sixmonth scoreless streak for club and country with a pair of goals, including a flashy effort when he cut inside Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo and slotted in a rightfooted shot from 12 yards.

BASEBALL Padres take Manziel in 28th round of draft NEW YORK — Johnny Manziel and the sons of Cal Ripken Jr. and Mariano Rivera were just a few of the familiar names selected on the final day of the Major league Baseball draft.

The sons of former big leaguers Bobby Bonilla, John Franco, Tom Browning, Benito Santiago and Magglio Ordonez also were taken as baseball’s draft wrapped up Saturday after three days, 40 rounds and 1,215 players chosen.

Oregon State had eight current players and nine recruits drafted. Oregon had five players and eight recruits selected during the draft.

Manziel, the Cleveland Browns quarterback, was taken by San Diego in the 28th round and listed as a shortstop for Texas A&M — although he never played for the Aggies.

He last played baseball in high school and likely won’t see the diamond again as he begins his NFL career.

RIDGEDALE, Mo. — Jeff Sluman and Fred Funk teamed to win the Champions Tour’s Legends of Golf, and Jim Colbert and Jim Thorpe topped the Legends Division for players 65 and older.

United States captures win in Curtis Cup ST. LOUIS — Alabama’s Emma Talley wrapped up the United States’ Curtis Cup victory, beating Britain and Ireland’s Bronte Law 4 and 3 in the opening singles match at St. Louis Country Club.

The United States won 137 to improve to 28-7-3 in the biennial competition, rebounding from a 10 1/2-9 1/2 loss in 2012 at Nairn in Scotland — the Americans’ only loss since 1996.

After Stanford’s Mariah Stackhouse and Mississippi State’s Ally McDonald halved their rain-delayed foursomes match with Stephanie Meadow and Georgia Hall, the United States needed only one point in the eight singles matches to regain the cup. Talley, the U.S. Women’s Amateur champion from Princeton, Kentucky, was quick to provide it with the victory over Law. McDonald and Southern California’s Annie Park also won singles matches for the U.S, and Stackhouse, the first black player in U.S. Curtis Cup history, halved her match.

Sports Driver-owner races to IndyCar victory FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — IndyCar owner Ed Carpenter now drives his car only on ovals. He does it well.

Carpenter stayed in front of Will Power during a twolap shootout to win at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday night after a late caution night wiped out his huge lead. The victory came two weeks after a late accident took away any chance to win the Indianapolis 500.

“It’s just good to bounce back,” Carpenter said.

“Nothing really totally makes up for missed opportunity at the Speedway. But at the same time, it always feels good to win, especially a place like this. ... This is a big win for us.”

On the final green-flag stop with 35 laps left, Carpenter beat polesitter and season points leader Power off pit road. Team Penske driver Power made things worse when he was penalized for speeding out of the pits.

“That’s four drive-thru penalties in five races,” Power lamented.

Power was sixth, and Carpenter had a lead of about 18 seconds over Juan Pablo Montoya, when Takuma Sato’s engine blew and his car caught fire with 10 laps left.

While the top four cars stayed out during that caution, Power went in for fresh tires. That gave him the chance to make up some ground, and he made a big charge after the final restart to finish second, only a halfsecond back.

With another lap, the outcome might have been different.

“I don’t know. Ed was awfully strong,” Power said.

“He’s an awesome driver and it would have been a good battle at the end. ... It was a lot of fun.”

Carpenter’s third career victory, all on ovals, came after leading 90 of 248 laps.

After winning at Kentucky for Sarah Fisher Racing in 2011, he started his own team the next year and won the season finale at California. Carpenter was on

the pole at Indy the last two seasons, and this year is leaving the road and street courses to Mike Conway.

Conway won at Long Beach the second race this season and was in the cockpit for both races at Detroit last weekend.

So this was the first race for Carpenter since the late crash at Indy with James Hinchcliffe.

“It feels good. There’s no denying the fact that I was really mad after Indy,” Carpenter said. “It’s not that I’m still mad at Hinch, but I’m still mad at the situation and we lost an opportunity. ... We’re just going to keep the intensity up and try to keep fighting for wins.”

Carpenter went to the high side to get around Power on lap 182, and within a lap had already pushed ahead by nearly a second. Power led 145 laps.

Montoya finished third, ahead of Simon Pagenaud, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan — the only drivers to finish on the lead lap. Helio Castroneves, the defending race winner and a four-time winner at Texas, was 10th.

The race was 20 laps longer than last year when Castroneves won. At the end of 228 laps, the length of the 2013 race, Carpenter had a 1 13 ⁄ 2-second lead over Montoya.

Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, the Dallas-born driver who has said he “definitely, desperately” wants to win at Texas, had another tough weekend and only finished 135 laps before losing power and oil pressure.

Since winning at Indy, Andretti Motorsport driver Hunter-Reay finished 16th and 19th at the dual races in Detroit and 19th at Texas.

Marco Andretti, his teammate, finished last in the 22car field after his own mechanical issues.

Andretti started 17th and quickly moved into the top 10 after three laps before his engine blew and the car caught fire while he was trying to get back into the pits.

The Associated Press

Daniel Ricciardo drives through the last chicane on his way to winning the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday.

Ricciardo ends Mercedes dominance MONTREAL (AP) — Turns out the Formula One team of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton is beatable after all.

The two Mercedes drivers had combined to win the first six races this season — sweeping the top two spots in all but one event. But when a mechanical problem forced them to slow down to keep their brakes from overheating, Daniel Ricciardo sped past to claim victory in the Canadian Grand Prix for the first win of his career.

“The more time I spend here, the more comfortable I am,” said the 24year-old Australian, who has two thirdplace finishes, two fourths and a short-lived second place in the seasonopener in Melbourne before he was disqualified for an illegal fuel flow. “A lot of sport comes down to belief: If you truly believe in something, you can make it work.”

The win by Red Bull was the first this season for any team other than the twin Silver Arrow Mercedes of Rosberg, the championship leader, and Hamilton, a three-time Canadian GP champion. But the cars experienced the same problem midway through the race; Hamilton’s brakes overheated in the 46th lap and he did not finish.

Rosberg left from the pole and led for most of the race, but his car was noticeably slower over the second half.

Ricciardo pulled past him with two laps to go.

“The race came to life at the end,”

Ricciardo said. “It’s still a little bit surreal. It’s not like we were leading the whole race, so it’s not like I had time to understand that I was going to win.”

Rosberg finished second under a caution caused by a last-lap crash between Felipe Massa and Sergio Perez, easily protecting his lead in the championship standings. The German has 140 of a possible 175 points through seven races, with two victories and five second-place finishes. Hamilton remains second in the standings with 118 points.

With his first podium finish, Ricciardo moved up to third with 79 points, passing Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, who was sixth and has 69 points. Four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel, who won in Montreal last year, earned 15 points for his third-place finish and is fifth in the standings with 60 points.

“We still have a lot of work ahead of us, because the Mercedes are still quite a bit quicker,” said Vettel, Ricciardo’s Red Bull teammate.

Drivers had to contend with track temperatures of 118 degrees at the start, on a sun-drenched day at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Ile de Notre Dame near downtown Montreal. The track, home to the Canadian Grand Prix since 1978, will get a face-lift as part of a 10-year extension announced Saturday to keep the race in town through 2024.

Known as one of the more unpre-

dictable tracks in Formula One, Montreal offered excitement from the start when Hamilton and Rosberg, who share a tense partnership, went tireto-tire into the first chicane. Hamilton was forced to brake, allowing Vettel to pass.

But Hamilton was soon back in second and the two Mercedes drivers seemed headed for what would have been their sixth 1-2 finish in a row. That ended when Hamilton tried to overtake Rosberg on a chicane at Turn 7 and instead was forced onto the grass.

He came out of the exchange with his car smoking, and within a lap the 2008 world champion — winner of four races this season — was out of the race. That left Mercedes with just Rosberg, and he was told over the radio to conserve his brakes so that he could make it to the end.

“We have such speed and to finish with just one car and come in second is hugely disappointing,” Rosberg said.

“Our ambition is to finish 1-2. We have to make sure that we get back there in Austria.”

Only 11 of the 22 cars were still running at the end of the 70 laps on the 2.71-mile circuit. Massa was running fifth when he tried to pass Perez and collided with him, nearly taking out Vettel in the process; Massa posted a thumbs-up picture on Twitter from the hospital, and a Formula One spokesman said Perez also checked out OK.
