Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878

BY THOMAS MORIARTY The World

COOS BAY — When the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain sail into Coos Bay this year, their annual visit will have a renewed significance. During its April 15 meeting, the Coos Bay City Council voted unanimously to designate the bay as the Tall Ship Port of Oregon. Councilor Tom Leahy spearheaded the proposal, intended to

THE WORLD NORTH BEND — Oregon’s angling community will have the opportunity to voice its opinion on a controversial fish management plan Friday at The Mill Casino-Hotel. The state Fish and Wildlife Commission is scheduled to meet at 8 a.m. to discuss, among other things, the Coastal Multi-Species Management Plan. The plan, intended to meet the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s obligations under the Native Fish Conservation Policy, would change the number of steelhead and salmon released from some volunteer-run fish hatcheries on coastal river systems, including the Coos, Coquille and Elk rivers. State regulators have concern that expressed hatchery fish pose a genetic threat to native fish populations, while many anglers are worried cuts or shifts in hatchery releases will undermine recreational fishing opportunities on the coast. The commission isn’t planning to make a decision until its June meeting, and will be taking public comment in North Bend.

celebrate the city’s maritime history. Dozens of tall ships were built in the area in the late 1800s, mostly at Asa Simpson’s shipyard in North Bend. Leahy, a founding member of the Coos Bay Boat Building Center, has been instrumental in bringing the ships to the area over the years. “We’ll have a functional sheepskin proclamation that we’ll read to kick things off,” he said. Operated by Grays Harbor

Historical Seaport Authority in Washington, the Lady Washington has been visiting the South Coast annually for more than 15 years. In recent years, the Hawaiian Chieftain has also made the voyage, with the pair holding mock battles in the bay. The event, called Tall Ship Days, organized by the Coos Bay Downtown Association and the Boat Building Center, runs May 2-10. The second weekend will include an organized pub crawl

through downtown Coos Bay and, new this year, the opportunity to go up into the ships’ rigging. “We’re looking at having people being able to go aloft in a harness,” Leahy said. “It takes a lot of coordination by the crew.” Leahy said the kickoff is tentatively planned for 4 p.m. May 2, at the Coos Bay Boardwalk.

Program aims to cut sugar consumption BY EMILY THORNTON The World

COOS BAY — They may be sweet and taste good, but might not be the best choice to quench thirst. Sugary drinks should be avoided, according to Linda Hicks, nurse and community education coordinator at Bay Area Hospital. The hospital and other area organizations will have an incentive program to encourage residents to cut back on the sweet substance. ReThink Your Drink Coos County will offer prizes for replacing high-calorie drinks

with healthier choices, like water. From May 5 to June 2, residents can tally what they drink each week for a chance to win an aluminum travel mug. A grand prize drawing of four $300 cash cards also will be offered at the end of the program. Hicks recommended drinking a quart of water per 100 pounds of body weight per day. “The more tissue you have, the more water you need to wash through,” she said. Hicks mentioned ways to make water taste better, including boiling it and letting it sit overnight without a lid; freezing it in plastic bottles (nonbisphenol A) and

drinking it as it thawed; adding slices of lemon, lime, orange or other fruit; adding no more than 1 ⁄4 cup of 100 percent juice to a 20-ounce glass of water; and using club soda. Overconsumption of sugar is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, arthritis and some cancers, Hicks said. Those diseases are prevalent in Coos County. “It’s hard for the body to compensate and maintain health (with too much sugar),” Hicks said. About 36.8 percent of Coos County adults were overweight

in 2012, according to the 2013 Community Health Assessment from the Coos County Public Health Department. There were 27.3 percent obese residents, the report said. The numbers were similar to those statewide. The assessment also said diabetes was the fourth-leading cause of premature death in the county in 2011 and affected 11 percent of residents, as compared to 6.8 percent in Oregon. Hicks said the average American ate 7.5 pounds of sugar per year in 1700. In 1900, the figure jumped to 90 pounds and

hybrid paper-online process to sign up for insurance. A Cover Oregon contractor estimated the least expensive option for salvaging Cover Oregon’s website would be to replace it with the federally run marketplace, at a cost of $4 million to $6 million. Fixing Cover Oregon’s existing system with the help of a new technology contractor would cost $25.5 million in development and maintenance costs just this year — not counting 2015 costs, according to the estimates. It’s unclear whether the state or the federal government will pay for the expense.

Earlier this month, Maryland — another state with a glitch-filled exchange site — chose to revamp its exchange by using technology that successful in has proved Connecticut. The Cover Oregon technology committee has rejected that option, with officials saying transferring technology from another state would be too expensive and take too long. So far, about 240,000 Oregonians have enrolled in coverage through Cover Oregon. More than 69,000 of those enrolled in private health plans, while 171,000 enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan,

PORTLAND — After weeks of deliberation, a committee is poised to make a final recommendation Thursday on what to do with Oregon’s botched health insurance exchange portal. The technology committee will decide whether Cover Oregon should ditch its glitch-filled website and replace it with the federal government’s health insurance marketplace, or try to fix the existing system with the help of a new IT contractor. The decision comes nearly seven

months after Oregon’s exchange was supposed to go live so that residents could use it to compare and buy health insurance plans. Cover Oregon’s website is seen as the worst of the more than a dozen exchanges; state-developed Oregon was the only state to receive a monthlong enrollment extension. With a week left to enroll, Oregonians still can’t use Cover Oregon’s portal to sign up for coverage in one sitting, despite an early start building the site and millions of dollars from the federal government. Instead, the general public must use a costly, time-consuming,

the state’s version of Medicaid. An independent investigation ordered by Gov. John Kitzhaber found state managers repeatedly failed to heed reports about technical problems that prevented the exchange from launching. It also found that Cover Oregon’s main technology contractor, Oracle Corp., did a shoddy job in building the exchange. Four Oregon officials connected to the portal’s development have resigned. Cover Oregon has paid $134 million in federal funding to Oracle and has spent another nearly $7 million on the paper processing efforts.

North Bend woman starts epilepsy support group BY EMILY THORNTON The World

NORTH BEND — Mikey Faulds has been trying to start an epilepsy support group for the past several years, but attendance has been low. She’s been living with the disorder for 62 years. “People are still afraid, embarrassed, ashamed,” Faulds said. The first meeting of You’re Not Alone with Epilepsy will be 4-5 p.m. May 13 at Bay Area Hospital’s Community

Health Education Center, 3950 Sherman Ave., North Bend. Faulds said anyone with a disability is invited. The topic for the first meeting will be how to get around town with Coos County Area Transit Dial-ARide and Yellow Cab Taxi if someone has a debilitating condition. “A lot of people don’t realize it’s available to them,” Faulds said. Representatives from the two agencies will be present to answer questions and talk about their services.

Faulds said she had received calls from people who wanted help or advice on their condition. “I know what the situation is because I’ve been there since I was a kid,” Faulds said. For more information on You’re Not Alone with Epilepsy, call Faulds at 541756-7279.

Sprint car racer shows value of education COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College’s second-year welding students recently gained a different perspective on their degree. Grant Garagnon, of Coos Bay, brought a sprint car from the Coos Bay Speedway to the class at a Stay in School seminar April 9. He has more than 50 years

of racing experience, including boats, motorcycles, karts and more. He retired from racing at 73. His presentation was part of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Museum’s nationwide program to show students the benefits of staying in school, getting an education and pursuing their career of choice.

The program is designed to show the benefits of a life-long career with the job of passion, not just a job to get by, giving students an opportunity to think outside the box. Garagnon and the Coos Bay Speedway hope to visit all local schools with this program. He hopes a local business and car dealer will support the program.

Change in image; change in tactics Our view Boost Southwest Oregon ditches the yellow Tshirts for a new campaign strategy.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

The grassroots pro-LNG group Boost Southwest Oregon debuted late last year with Burma-Shave-style signs along roadsides, a television ad and bright yellow T-shirts. Boost members wore those T-shirts to show their strength in numbers at meetings where the liquefied natural gas export terminal was the discussion topic. Now, it appears the gas plant is on its way to a final round of regulatory approvals. Attention has turned to the Community Enhancement Plan, a deal with Jordan Cove to grant a long-term tax exemption in exchange for community

service fees to be paid as soon as construction begins. Change in focus means a change in tactics for the Boosters. “We’ve left the yellow Tshirts in the closet,” says Boost co-chair Mark Wall. “This is about the Community Enhancement Plan now.” In Boost’s mind, the telltale yellow only encourages its opposition, those folks here who don’t want to see the plant built at all. Boost wants to focus the community elsewhere. So get ready, because the organization has fired up a new campaign. We’ll be seeing a

letters to the editor campaign (it’s actually already started), a new media ad, new email blasts, an online poll at the Boost website (http://boostsouthwestoregon.org) and Boost members in regular attendance as the city councils, county commissioners and Oregon International Port of Coos Bay continue considering the enhancement plan. “We want to motivate people and get information to them,” Wall says. Wall added that campaign costs this time are being funded by donations from local businesses and individuals. No more Jordan Cove

money since the initial $15,000 infusion last fall to get the organization started. We’re not a direct member of the Boost organization, although The World is a member of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, which supports both the plant and the enhancement plan. We’re not a member of the opposition either, Citizens Against LNG (http://citizensagainstlng.co m/). Why are we telling you all this? Just an FYI that the discussion seems ready to heat up again. So, pay careful attention, then make up your own mind.

Nothing’s private at doc’s office When Dr. Sam said, “You’ve got the prostate of a 16-year-old,” it was hard to keep from beaming. This must be how a woman feels when a complete stranger tells her she has a beautiful baby. Well, maybe not quite. Still, it was hard not to feel proud of my big, fat, beautiful prostate. It was like winning the Oscar. “I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible — Mom and Dad for their genes, Sue for making me take all those antioxidants, and especially all the little supplements ...” “Yes, it’s like the prostate of a big, fat, outof-shape 16-year-old — don’t you think so, class?” I heard murmurs of approval, some polite applause. I’m not beaming anymore. Not beaming at all. Here I am, as exposed as a person can possibly be, and there’s an audience? What was going on? I said, “I didn’t know this was a teaching hospital.” “It’s not,” said Dr. Sam.“It’s my son’s seventh-grade class from St. Ceclia’s. Say ‘hello’ to Mr. Mullen, kids.” “Hello, Mr. Mullen,” they said in unison. “You’re their Show and Tell this week,” he said as he snapped off his rubber gloves. “Excuse me, but isn’t JIM there a privacy issue MULLEN here?” I asked Dr. Sam. Humorist “Certainly there is a privacy issue. It would be very inappropriate for you to know the names of the children. We have to respect their privacy at all costs.” “I was really thinking about my privacy.” “But you signed the blue form. You should really read these things before you go around signing them. You didn’t sign the green one, did you? Because that means you’ve volunteered to donate a kidney to Justin Bieber.” “Tell me you’re joking.” “Of course, I’m joking. Everyone knows he’ll need a new liver long before he needs a new kidney. And stop worrying about the kids.They were watching an exciting video of a colonoscopy. I just told them it was yours; it got their attention. Trust me, once you’ve seen one colon, you’ve seen them all. It’s not like they saw you naked or anything. I don’t want to scare them away. But I also don’t want these kids to go through life thinking that there’s something embarrassing about getting a physical exam. I don’t want them to wait 17 years between checkups the way you did. People have got to learn that a physical exam is as natural as breastfeeding a baby on a bus.” Why bother, I thought. He’s seen places on my body that I haven’t. Maybe more people would get physicals if the doctors had to take off their clothes every time they asked you to take off yours. My nude comfort level is very low. I don’t even wear shorts in the summer. Doctors wonder why people wait so long to get their problems fixed. I’ll tell them why: I spend half my time at the doctor’s office saying, “You want to do what to my what?!?!” and “You don’t reuse these cups, do you?” But when you think about it, the doctors are going to examine you once you get sick, and it’s going to be just as embarrassing then as it is when you’re healthy. So you may as well suck up your self-respect and go.

Letters to the Editor LNG just more empty promises People who do not pay attention to history are doomed to repeat it. Doesn’t anyone remember in the late 1980s, the Diashowa pulp mill was to be placed on the North Spit near another pulp mill now deceased? Much hype then how it would improve our economy. Promoters never mentioned thousands of gallons of toxic, polluted water, originally from Lakeside, pumped into the ocean. Many “family wage” jobs would improve our economy. Our community leaders and Board of Commissioners promoted it. Is that anything different than now? Again we’re wooed by big corporations handing out money. Leaders fighting how to spend it before they have it — SCCF, “Foundation”? More of a slush fund. Back then we researched effects of new pulp mills, found one in Peace River, Canada, much touted as the savior of their economy, much like the proposed LNG here. A “state of the art,” non- smelly new pulp mill was built, many people came to build it. Result? The economy did not improve, the unemployment rate actually increased. The pulp mill company formed an “odor patrol” because the new pulp mill did stink, provided few jobs for locals, and the forest was decimated. What about the chromite mining adventure here? So what’s different now? Not much, except this new LNG plan is far worse because it involves fracking, not just cutting down our trees. How can anyone accept a plan that pollutes other people’s water, causes earthquakes? Is it okay just because it happens far away? That is immoral! As — not in my backyard. How about all the problems with messing up our waterways here, and putting pipelines through our public forests and people’s private lands? What about all the low quality housing that will be built here for nonlocal workers? What will be left when the LNG facility is built? Forty to 50 jobs max? How can anyone think an LNG facility will improve our economy, education and environment for the

long term? Mr. Kreidlebaugh is mistaken, the Portland woman’s research showed no economic benefit with new LNGs. Also, it is totally depressing to think of all the negatives an LNG would bring here, in the name of a few family wage jobs, lots of polluenvironmental tion, degradation, explosion dangers and, even worse, shipping our assets overseas, making corporations richer.

As a parent, the most important thing to me is the health and well-being of my kids and the schools I am counting on to help educate and prepare them for life’s adventures. I am standing up and casting a “yes” vote to the powers that be to get this foundation operating. Keep the money here and let our children reap the benefits of healthy schools. It’s about time they have it better than we did. Brooke Walton Coos Bay

Foundation vital to help schools

No safe place near LNG plant

I have two daughters attending school in the North Bend School District. They are currently in kindergarten and second grade. As a parent, you want nothing but the best for your kids. You want them to have it better than you did and you want them to have access to resources that weren’t available when you were in school. Right now, with the condition of our local schools, I find myself hoping that someday soon, my girls will have at least as much as I did. To that end, I find myself advocating as much as possible for the lesser of two evils in our school district because that is all that is available. I want more than hope for a better education for my 5- and 8-year-old. I want to not worry if ESD will continue to get the funding required to help fund the special education my daughter needs. I want to not worry about where my kids may be going to school year after year and what program or teacher will be cut next from their education to make it work. I have attended many meetings explaining the South Coast Community Foundation proposal and the purpose behind it. It will allow millions of dollars to stay in our local schools instead of being lost to Salem and disbursed throughout the state. Simply put, it provides opportunities in my daughters’ school that allow me to see that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel of hopelessness. It would give me the reality that someday soon my worries of today will be gone tomorrow and I simply cannot believe that this once in a lifetime opportunity is at our fingertips.

I’m sitting here across from Pony Village at Captain’s Choice restaurant looking out across the bay, enjoying the view and reading the April 16 issue of The World, and enjoying Don Wisely’s and Jerry Dean’s letters to the editor. I’m glad to be reminded of last weeks explosion at the Plymouth, Wash., LNG plant. That explosion lead to an evacuation of a 2-mile radius of the plant. The plant was three times smaller than the proposed Jordan Cove LNG plant. Would a similar explosion at Jordan Cove require a 6-mile radius evacuation? My iPad’s maps feature tells me I’m sitting 4.2 road miles from Jordan Cove but just over 2 miles in a straight line from the Cove. Last I heard, the force of explosions radiate in straight lines. Looks like I’m not in a particularly safe place to be eating lunch and enjoying a beautiful view of the bay, once the plant gets built. Or even to go shopping for that matter!

Lawmakers support CEP Our communities have before them an extraordinary, once-ina-generation opportunity to significantly bolster our underfunded education system and provide sorely needed resources to local taxing districts. We are counting on each of you, the members of the sponsor agencies’ governing boards and councils, to do your part to support this effort.

By collaborating in a Bay Area Enterprise Zone agreement, Coos County, the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay will be able to take part in creating an endowment fund through the newly established South Coast Community Foundation that will provide a profound benefit to this region for generations. All involved in this endeavor have recognized that for this region to thrive we must reverse decades of disinvestment in education. We thank you, and the many individuals who have worked diligently to engage in this difficult process, for your time and effort. You have listened objectively and responded to community input; now is the time to ratify the agreement and move forward. Communities throughout Oregon have greatly benefited when companies like Google, Intel or any number of others have made significant investments in their areas. Using a variety of funding mechanisms these communities took steps to ensure that local services – including schools – were also able to benefit such investments. Our community now has the opportunity to establish a foundation that will have a great impact on this region for years to come. We cannot let it pass us by. As members of the Oregon Legislature representing you and your constituents in Salem, we are calling on you to make the right decision at the local level. Please support the South Coast Community Foundation. Change of this magnitude is always challenging. We, and the children and grandchildren of our region, thank you for your vision, your courage and your hard work. P.S. Bill Lansing, Sen. Joanne Verger and John Whitty have each spent a lifetime generously giving their expertise and time to benefit our community. Their vision and their willingness to stand up fearlessly on behalf of this community is to be commended. They have our sincere thanks. Sen. Arnie Roblan and Rep. Caddy McKeown

News of the West Parents are appalled by manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indifference to his young son

Oregon gay marriage ban gets day in court

DEAR ABBY: My 23-yearold son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayne,â&#x20AC;? who is single, has a 3-year-old son. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn about the child until he was more than a year old, when Wayne was asked to take a DEAR paternity t e s t . Luckily, we have been able to form a good relationship with our grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and see him JEANNE PHILLIPS o f t e n . H o w e v e r, our son has shown no interest. He pays child support, but has little interaction. Wayne is an only child. I love him, but I never wanted another one. I was never comfortable around or interested in young children except for my own son. Could he have gotten this from me? Friends and family have commented on Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of interest in his son, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of making excuses or telling people to mind their own business. Wayne says he feels resentment and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be around this child. I have tried to explain that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll regret it in years to come, but he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen. My husband is appalled that our son would act this way, but he seems to forget that I was the one who did everything with Wayne. I did the Boy Scouts, movies, horses, trips, etc. He did almost nothing with Wayne and his friends. At this point, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do and would like some advice. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MOM IN ILLINOIS DEAR MOM: Your son is displacing his anger at himself onto his son. He should have used birth control and he knows it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair, but Wayne does not appear to be the most mature of 23-yearolds. Rather than blame yourself for the fact that he wants no involvement, consider that children usually model themselves after their samegender parent. Because your husband was so uninvolved with Wayne, it is possible that Wayne has no idea of what a fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role ought to be. A parenting class could fix this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if your son is willing to take one. Until then, continue to be the supportive and loving grandparents your grandson needs because, aside from his mother, it appears youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all the backup the little boy has. DEAR ABBY: I come from a troubled family. I am just now realizing that there is more to life than posting bond for family members and getting people out of jail at 3 a.m. I got my GED and started college this year. Although I try to keep them at bay, they call me with one family crisis or another, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putting stress on everyone around me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to have a positive relationship with my family, but drama seems to follow them everywhere. Should I just let them go and move on with my life, or continue doing the same as always? Must I drop everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing to jump and run every time the phone rings? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FAMILY DRAMA IN TEXAS DEAR FAMILY DRAMA: Every time you come to the rescue, you further enable your relatives to do whatever it is that has gotten them in hot water. That you have managed to separate yourself to the extent you have, and achieve to the level you have reached, is admirable. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue to accomplish your goals, you cannot allow your family to distract you from your studies. Set limits. Let them know when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disturbed and turn your phone off. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll survive and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thrive.

City of Corvallis trucks splash through high water that was caused by a broken water main in Corvallis. The city estimated Wednesday that 800,000 gallons of water eventually poured out of the 20-inch iron pipe.

Burst water main floods downtown Corvallis streets CORVALLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When a water main broke in downtown Corvallis, office workers saw the pavement heave and thought they were in an earthquake. Water began bubbling up Tuesday between the asphalt and the sidewalk at the Barker-Uerlings Insurance office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then the ground literally lifted up,â&#x20AC;? employee Trevor Griesmeyer told the Gazette-Times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had to swing up a foot or something and drop back down, and instantly the water was just pouring.â&#x20AC;?

The city estimated Wednesday that 800,000 gallons of water eventually poured out of the 20-inch iron pipe. Nineteen properties are expected to be without water until tonight, the city said in a statement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplying bottled water and portable toilets in the four-block stretch most affected. The water lapped over sidewalks downtown, coming near the door of the insurance office. Water pressure throughout the city of 55,000 people was reduced for a few hours. After the flow was stanched, crews

started pumping water from basements. Damage to underground water pipes is more common during times of freezing and thawing, said city utility division Manager Brian Rigwood said. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no telling what damaged the pipe until the ground is opened up, he said, and even then, the city might not find the source of the problem. The city said its records showed the pipeline was 63 years old, and typically a water main is expected to have an 80to 100-year life.

Fetal tissue used to power Oregon homes PORTLAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Oregon county commission has ordered an incinerator to stop accepting boxed medical waste to generate electricity after learning the waste itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been burning may include tissue from aborted fetuses from British Columbia. Sam Brentano, chairman of the Marion County board of commissioners, said late Wednesday the board is taking immediate action to prohibit human tissue from future deliveries at the plant that has been turning waste into energy since 1987. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide an important service to the people of this state and it would be a travesty if this program is jeopardized due to this finding,â&#x20AC;? he said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought our ordinance excluded this type of material at the waste-to-energy

facility. We will take immediate action to ensure a process is developed to prohibit human tissue from future deliveries.â&#x20AC;? Kristy Anderson, a British Columbia Health Ministry spokeswoman, told The Associated Press that regional health authorities there have a contract with a company that sends biomedical waste, such as fetal tissue, cancerous tissue and amputated limbs, to Oregon, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incinerated in the waste-energy plant. The B.C. Catholic, a Vancouver-based newspaper, identified the plant as Covanta Marion, based in Brooks. When contacted by The AP on Wednesday, a Covanta Marion representative said he did not know if fetal tissue was included in shipments from Canada

or elsewhere. The facility is owned and operated by Covanta in a partnership with Marion County. According to its website, it processes 550 tons per day of municipal solid waste, generating up to 13 megawatts of energy sold to Portland General Electric. Marion County estimates that the facility processes about 700 tons of in-county medical waste each year and about 1,200 tons from elsewhere, making it a small percentage of the total waste burned. Out-of-town medical waste is charged a higher fee. spokeswoman County Jolene Kelley said medical waste has been included in the program for some time, but the commissioners never had any indication that fetal tissue might be included.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learned that today,â&#x20AC;? she said. Commissioners did not say why they believe medical waste shipped to the plant should be free of fetal tissue. Since they have no idea whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been arriving in the sealed shipments, the commissioners decided to temporarily suspend all medical waste, Kelley said. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scheduled an emergency hearing for Thursday and might rewrite an ordinance to clarify what type of material can be accepted. Covanta Marion is believed to be the only plant generating energy from waste in Oregon. The Environmental Protection Agency says medical waste from hospitals is generally excluded from the municipal solid waste used to generate electricity.

2-year-old gets meth; parents accused of neglect STATE D I G E S T ROSEBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Roseburg parents who took their 2-year-old to the emergency room because she was acting abnormally have been arrested after tests showed methamphetamine in her system. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office spokesman Dwes Hutson says investigators found drug paraphernalia with meth residue in the home, and they concluded the child got into the drug on her own. He says her condition is not believed to be lifethreatening. There are two more girls in the home, ages 10 years old and 5 months. The state Department of Human Services is involved in the case. The parents are 40-yearold Michelle Burke and 44-year-old James Pohl. They were booked on charges of child neglect, endangering the welfare of a minor and methamphetamine possession.

Another top Cover Oregon official resigns PORTLAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Another top official of Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troubled health

insurance exchange has resigned. Cover Oregon officials said chief operating officer Triz delaRosa relinquished her duties Tuesday but will remain as an adviser until May 16. The position was filled by Mark Schmidt, a consultant with a Portland firm that specializes in turning around struggling businesses. Clyde Hamstreet, that firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder,took over Cover Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director role earlier this month.

Bar to take up ethics complaint against DA PORTLAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man whose murder conviction was tossed out on appeal alleges that Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill acted unethically in his trial by arranging to get a secret signal from a witness. The Oregonian reports the man has filed an ethics complaint. The Oregon State Bar has

opened an investigation, considered rare in the case of a sitting district attorney. Underhill denies the allegation. Court documents say no signal was actually sent. The complaint says the plan for a signal violated the prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation to give information to the defense. Jerrin Hickmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case dates to a 2007 killing. The state Court of Appeals has overturned his murder conviction, citing questionable eyewitness testimony. The case is now before the state Supreme Court.

EUGENE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawyers for four gay and lesbian couples and the state of Oregon urged a federal judge Wednesday to strike down Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voterapproved ban on same-sex marriage. No comments were made in favor of the ban, so lawyers on both sides of the case were in the rare position of asking for the same ruling from the judge. Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general, Democrat Ellen Rosenblum, has said the ban is legally indefensible and has refused to offer arguments in favor of keeping it. Judge Michael McShane did not say which way he was leaning. His questioning focused heavily on how he should apply precedents from higher courts and whether he should delay implementation of his ruling until appeals courts sort out gay marriage cases pending around the country. The judge is deciding two parallel cases. The couples who filed suit are asking him to declare the ban unconstitutional and allow same-sex couples to wed. They also want an order that same-sex marriages performed in other states must be recognized in Oregon. The plaintiffs are making two arguments based on of the U.S. Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equal-protection and dueprocess clauses. They say the ban, known as Measure 36, is unconstitutionally discriminatory because it serves no legitimate government interest. And they argue that marriage is a fundamental right of all Americans, but gays and lesbians are being excluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measure 36 has walled off an entire class of citizens,â&#x20AC;? said Lake Perriguey, a lawyer for two of the couples who filed suit. Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a portion of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, federal judges have struck down as unconstitutional voter-approved bans on same-sex marriage in five states: Utah, Oklahoma, Michigan, Texas and Virginia.

Nation and World FDA proposes regulations for e-cigarettes WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government wants to ban sales of electronic cigarettes to minors and require approval for new products and health warning labels under regulations being proposed by the Food and Drug Administration. While the proposal being issued Thursday won’t immediately mean changes for the popular devices, the move is aimed at eventually taming the fast-growing ecigarette industry. The agency said the proposal sets a foundation for regulating the products but the rules don’t immediately ban the wide array of flavors of e-cigarettes, curb marketing on places like TV or set product standards. Any further rules “will have to be grounded in our growing body of knowledge and understanding about the use of e-cigarettes and their potential health risks or public health benefits,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said. Members of Congress and public health groups have raised concerns over e-cigarettes and questioned their marketing tactics. “When finalized (the proposal) would result in significant public health benefits, including through reducing sales to youth, helping to correct consumer misperceptions, preventing misleading health claims and preventing new products from entering the market without scientific review by FDA,” said Mitch Zeller, the director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products. Once the new rules are finalized, the agency could propose more restrictions on e-cigarettes. Officials didn’t provide a timetable for that action.

NEWS D I G E S T More sanctions are ‘teed up’ for Russia

The Associated Press

Afghan police forces walk in front of the main gate of Cure International Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Thursday. The U.S. embassy in Afghanistan says three American doctors have been killed by an Afghan security guard who opened fire at a hospital in Kabul.

Hospital guard kills 3 doctors KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan security guard opened fire on a group of foreign doctors at a Kabul hospital on Thursday morning, killing three American physicians and wounding a U.S. nurse, officials said. The shooting at Cure International Hospital in western Kabul was the latest in a string of deadly attacks on foreign civilians in the Afghan capital this year. Two of the dead Americans were a father and son, Minister of Health Soraya Dalil said, adding that the third American was a Cure International doctor who had worked in Kabul for seven years. Dalil said an American nurse was also wounded in the attack. “A child specialist doctor who was working in this hospital for the last seven years for the people of Afghanistan was killed and also two others who were here to meet him, and they were also American nationals,” Dalil said. “The two visitors were father and son, and a woman who was also in the visiting group was wounded.”

The attacker was a member of the Afghan Public Protection Force assigned to guard the hospital, according to District Police Chief Hafiz Khan. He said the man’s motive was not yet clear. The gunman, who was detained, was wounded during the attack and underwent surgery at midday in the same medical facility under heavy police guard, according to Kanishka Bektash Torkystani,a Ministry of Health spokesman. Later in the afternoon,Dalil, the health minister,said he was recovering from the surgery before being questioned.Initial reports indicate he was shot by other security forces, said Ministry of Interior spokesman Sediq Sediqqi. “Five doctors had entered the compound of the hospital and were walking toward the building when the guard opened fire on them,” Torkystani said. “Three foreign doctors were killed.” The U.S. Embassy in Kabul confirmed that three American citizens had been killed in the hospital attack but said it had no other information. It did not confirm Afghan reports that the

three were doctors. According to its website, the Cure International Hospital was founded in 2005 by invitation of the Afghan Ministry of Health. It sees 37,000 patients a year,specializing in child and maternity health as well as general surgery. It is affiliated with the Christian charity Cure International, which operates in 29 countries with the motto “curing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God.” The Afghan capital has seen a spate of attacks on foreign civilians in 2014, a worrying new trend as the U.S.-led military coalition prepares to withdraw most troops by the end of the year. It was unclear whether the Taliban were behind Thursday’s shooting, though the insurgents have claimed several major attacks that killed foreign civilians this year, an escalation of such attacks after years of mostly targeting foreign military personnel and Afghan security forces. In January, a Taliban attack on a popular Kabul restaurant with suicide bombers and gunmen killed more than a dozen people,

while in March gunmen slipped past security at an upscale hotel in the Afghan capital and killed several diners in its restaurant. Two foreign journalists were killed and another wounded in two separate attacks. The hospital shooting is also the second “insider attack” by a member of Afghan security forces targeting foreign civilians this month. On April 4, an Afghan police officer shot two Associated Press staff working in the eastern province of Khost, killing photographer Anja Niedringhaus and wounding veteran correspondent Kathy Gannon. Violence and insecurity have been spiraling in Afghanistan amid uncertainties surrounding the April 5 presidential election and the upcoming withdrawal at the end of the year of most international troops. An international military coalition has been in Afghanistan since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion to oust the Taliban’s hard-line Islamic government for sheltering al-Qaida leaders in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Russia to hold new military exercises in southwest Ukraine SLOVYANSK, (AP) — Russia’s defense minister on Thursday announced new military exercises along the Ukrainian border just hours after Ukrainian troops killed at least two pro-Russia insurgents in eastern Ukraine. The clashes were the first since acting President Oleksandr Turchynov ordered the resumption Tuesday of military operations in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russia protesters and masked gunmen have seized government buildings in at least 10 cities and set up roadblocks. In St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin decried what he described as Ukraine’s “punitive operation” and threatened Kiev with unspecified consequences. “If the Kiev government is using the army against its own people this is clearly a grave crime,” Putin said. Later in the day, Russian

Black smoke billows from burning tires at a checkpoint following an Slovyansk, Ukraine, on Thursday. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced new military exercises in Russia’s south and west in reaction to the mounting unrest in eastern Ukraine and NATO exercises in Poland. “We have to react to these

developments somehow,” he said in televised comments. Russia already has tens of thousands of troops stationed in regions along its border with Ukraine. The latest Russian military exercises will involve ground troops in

insurgents which he put at less than 2,000 troops. There was no way to immediately verify those figures. The Ukrainian government and the West have accused Russia of directing and supporting the insurgents and worry that Putin would welcome a pretext for a military intervention in eastern Ukraine. Putin denies that any Russian agents are operating in Ukraine, but insists he has the right to intervene to protect the ethnic Russians who The Associated Press make up a sizeable minority attack by Ukrainian troops outside in eastern Ukraine.

TOKYO (AP) — Accusing Russia of failing to live up to its commitments, President Barack Obama warned Moscow on Thursday that the United States has another round of economic sanctions “teed up” — even as he acknowledged those penalties may do little to influence Vladimir Putin’s handling of the crisis in Ukraine. Obama’s frank pessimism underscored the limits of Washington’s ability to prevent Russia from stirring up instability in Ukraine’s east and exerting influence over elections scheduled for next month in the former Soviet republic.A diplomatic accord that offered a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the tense dispute is crumbling, and Russia has warned of a firm response if the country’s citizens or interests in Ukraine are attacked.

Taliban ready to deal on captive US soldier? WASHINGTON (AP) — The captors of an American soldier held for nearly five years in Afghanistan have signaled a willingness to release him but are unclear which U.S. government officials have the authority to make a deal, according to two individuals in the military working for his release. Critics of the release effort blame disorganization and poor communication among the numerous federal agencies involved.

Costa Rica demands US explain ‘Cuban Twitter’ SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — The Costa Rican government says it’s still waiting for the Obama administration to explain why it launched the secret “Cuban Twitter” network from inside the Central American nation’s borders despite warnings in 2009 that the plan could jeopardize the two countries’ diplomatic relations. In an interview with The Associated Press, Costa Rican Foreign Minister Enrique Castillo said efforts to affect other countries should not be carried out from inside Costa Rica.

Rail safety effort marred by squabbling WASHINGTON (AP) — Spurred by a series of fiery train crashes, a push by government and industry to make safer tank cars used for shipping crude oil and ethanol has bogged down in squabbling and fingerpointing over whether they’re needed and if so, who should pay. The Transportation Department, worried about the potential for catastrophic accidents involving oil and ethanol trains that are sometimes as many as 100 cars long, is drafting new tankcar regulations aimed at making the cars less likely to spill their contents in the event of a crash.

U.S. weighs clemency for inmates jailed for 10 years WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is encouraging many nonviolent federal prisoners to apply for early release — and expecting thousands to take up the offer. It’s an effort to deal with high costs and overcrowding in prisons, and also a matter of fairness, the government says. On Wednesday, the Justice Department unveiled clemency a revamped process directed at low-level felons imprisoned for at least 10 years who have clean records while in custody. The effort is part of a broader administration push to scale back the use of harsh penalties in some drug prosecutions and to address sentencing disparities arising from the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic that yielded disproportionately tough

punishment for black drug offenders. “These older, stringent punishments that are out of line with sentences imposed under today’s laws erode people’s confidence in our criminal justice system,” Deputy Attorney General James Cole said, laying out new criteria that will be used to evaluate clemency petipossible tions for recommendation for the president’s approval. Though the criteria apply solely to federal inmates, states, too are grappling with severe prison overcrowding. In Nebraska, for example, prisons were at 155 percent of capacity at the end of March. And in California, courts have ordered the state to reduce the inmate population to 137.5 percent of designed capacity, or 112,164

The system’s population has skyrocketed in recent decades, creating rising multibillion-dollar expenses that officials say threaten other law enforcement priorities and that an inspector general’s report last year characterized as a “growing crisis.” The United States incarcerates about a quarter of the world’s prisoners. Of the roughly 216,000 inmates in federal custody, nearly half are imprisoned for The Associated Press drug-related crimes. Deputy Attorney General James Cole holds up a list of guidelines during The Justice Department a news conference at the Justice Department. Cole announced the new says now’s the time to conreleasing more standards that will be considered in deciding whether to recommend sider prisoners early. clemency for certain nonviolent drug prisoners. “These defendants were inmates in the 34 facilities, dates for leniency in an over- properly held accountable for crowded federal prison their criminal conduct. by February 2016.

Vermont moves toward GMO food labels MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont lawmakers have passed the country’s first state bill to require the labeling of genetically modified foods, underscoring a division between powerful lobbyists for the U.S. food industry and an American public that overwhelmingly says it approves of the idea. The Vermont House approved the measure Wednesday evening, about a week after the state Senate, and Gov. Peter Shumlin said he plans to sign it. The requirements would take effect July 1, 2016, giving food producers time to comply. Shumlin praised the vote. “I am proud of Vermont for being the first state in the nation to ensure that Vermonters will know what is in their food,” he said in a statement. Genetically modified organisms — often used in crop plants — have been changed at their genetic roots to be resistant to insects, germs or herbi-

cides. The development in Vermont is important because it now puts the U.S. on the map of governments taking a stance against a practice that has led to bountiful crops and food production but has stirred concerns about the dominance of big agribusiness and the potential for unforeseen effects on the natural environment. Some scientists and activists worry about potential effects on soil health and pollination of neighboring crops. Twenty-nine other states have proposed bills this year and last to require genetically modified organism — or GMO — labeling, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Two other New England states have passed laws to require GMO labeling, but the legislation takes effect only when neighboring states also approve the requirement. They are Maine and Connecticut; neither neighbor Vermont.

The European Union already has restricted the regulation, labeling and sale of GMO foods. Several credible polls have found that Americans overwhelmingly favor the notion of labeling genetically modified foods. Organic farmers and others are praising Vermont’s move, while the Washington, D.C.-based Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents food producers, called it a step in the wrong direction. As farmers, Katie Spring and her husband are proud of how they grow their greens, carrots, potatoes, peppers and herbs and raise their chickens and pigs at their Worcester, Vt., farm and are willing to answer questions from customers. As eaters, Spring feels like she and her customers have the right to know what’s in their food, whether it’s saturated fat or genetically modified organisms, which they don’t use on their farm.

SUGAR Soda can have 16-18 tsp. sugar Continued from Page A1 today it is 150 pounds. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 9 teaspoons of sugar per day for men and 6 for women. “The sugar amounts have increased phenomenally,” Hicks said. One reason for overconsumption is that a 20-ounce bottle of soda can contain 16 to 18 teaspoons of sugar, Hicks said. Fruit juice, energy drinks and sports drinks can have high sugar levels as well, she said. To determine the amount of teaspoons of sugar in something, divide

substantial sentences that are disproportionate to what they would receive today,” Cole said. Officials say they don’t know how many of the tens of thousands of drug-related convicts would be eligible for early release, but an ideal candidate would meet six criteria — including no history of violence, no ties to criminal organizations or gangs and a clean prison record. He must also have already served 10 years or more of his sentence and be likely to have received a substantially shorter offense if convicted of the same offense today. The Bureau of Prisons will notify all inmates of the criteria next week and provide electronic surveys to those who think they deserve clemency.

the number of sugar grams by four. Grams can be found on the nutrition label. “We want to try to help people slow up and be mindful (of what they drink),” Hicks said. If someone drinks one 12ounce soda per day, they will have had 36 pounds of sugar and could gain 15 pounds without enough activity, Hicks said. She said for an adolescent boy to burn off the sugar in one 12-ounce soda, he’d have to sprint a football field 50 times. “If we can just back off on sugar, our bodies will perform better,” Hicks said.

So he plotted to bring together North Valley’s talented twins Kerissa and Venessa D’Arpino with Newport’s Rachel Vinjamuri at a new icebreaker meet in March, with the vision of three of the best sprinters in the state for all classifications on the same track for the 100, 200 and 400 meters. The plan didn’t work, because Newport opted for another meet that week. While we were treated to quite a show by the twins in March, we had to wait until the weekend to see Vinjamuri, when Newport was one of the 26 teams competing at the Prefontaine Rotary Invitational. All the Newport junior did was post times only topped in Class 4A this spring by the twins, not to mention coming from SPORTS behind to anchor the Cubs to a win in the 4x400 relay. I can’t wait to see the battle in the sprints at the class 4A state meet next month, which will be a bonus to go with watching all the local athletes who should do well at JOHN Hayward Field. GUNTHER Meanwhile, Saturday’s meet provided a showcase for a bunch of kids who should be earning medals at the state meet. The girls shot put alone included five of the top six girls in Class 4A. One of the great things about the Prefontaine meet is it includes schools from the state’s smallest four classifications. Saturday’s competition included no fewer than 17 state leaders in their respective events, plus many, many more who rank in the top three. Coquille has a pair of Class 3A leaders — Brandon Bowen in the shot put and Tristan Dixon in the pole vault. Reedsport’s Mike Mitchell is the Class 2A leader in both the high jump and long jump. And Pacific’s Cole Kreutzer now leads Class 1A in the 400 meters after beating the kids from all the bigger schools in the meet Saturday to win that race. Throw in Myrtle Point javelin thrower Grace Hermann and Bandon distance runner Aida Santoro and the South Coast’s smaller schools should have much individual success at the biggest meet later this season. Meanwhile, Marshfield and North Bend both have built strong teams again. Marshfield’s Shaylen Crook (3,000) and Adryana Chavez (triple jump) both lead Class 4A, while Isabel Groth (hurdles), Brittany Cook (sprints) and the sprint relay also are among the state leaders. Throw in Hunter Drops in the pole vault and javelin for the boys and the Pirates will be very visible at state. North Bend, meanwhile, has the top high jumper in the state in Wyatt Cunningham, one of the better hurdlers in Cam Lucero, a strong pole vault corps with Alex Backman and Luke Lucero (not to mention Mikena Shay and McKenzie Gauntz for the girls) and two new additions who have suddenly boosted the field events (jumper Drew Matthews) and sprints (Matt Woods). The Bulldogs also feature one of the state’s best sprint relays. If you missed Saturday’s meet, don’t worry. There’s still one more chance to see all the county’s top athletes at one time when Marshfield hosts the Coos County Meet on May 9. Nearly every event will have an athlete who can place at one of the state meets. All the schools should have multiple kids competing for titles in events and a lot of the competitions should be close. And because the meet has been moved to later in the season, the week before all the district meets, the athletes should be in top form. McIntosh even has a vision of Cunningham setting the bar for the high jump at 7 feet, as he did a few weeks ago after he cleared 6-10 for the first time in a meet at North Bend. I can’t help but hope that, unlike the goal of getting the top sprinters together last month, this vision for Marshfield’s coach comes true.

Tennis squads show improvement Marshfield and North Bend tie 4-4 in Civil War match ■

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — North Bend and Marshfield both started the boys tennis season with young, inexperienced rosters. Those players have improved vastly over the season, which showed Wednesday, when the teams split their second Civil War dual 4-4 at the William J. Sweet Memorial Tennis Center. Now they are excited with less than two weeks before the district tournament. “We’re starting to work a lot harder in practice,” said Stewart Lyons, half of North Bend’s No. 1 doubles team with partner James Jordan. The duo cruised to a 6-0, 61 win over Austin Muncy and Leon Wittern-Kochs on Wednesday. “It went really well, one of our better matches,” Lyons said. “We had a lot better consistency,” added Jordan. The two entered the year as experienced players and spent the three months between soccer season and the start of tennis working out together. “Our unforced errors were at

Muncy, a freshman, had been the Pirates’ No. 1 singles player, but wanted to form a doubles team with Wittern-

Kochs, an exchange student from Germany. “Doubles is fun,” Muncy said. Though the two have been paired only a few days, they are planning to make the most of their time before the district tournament at Medford. “If we can continue practic-

ing like this — we stay and play after practice every day — we’re getting better,” Wittern-Kochs said, explaining his optimism for a successful district tournament. Marshfield coach Neil Cox said he was comfortable pairing the two because they have a good friendship. “If they have fun, they play naturally together,” he said. “They communicate better.” And Cox pointed out the loss Wednesday wasn’t a bad one. “North Bend’s No. 1 doubles team will do well at districts,” Cox said.“They’re a good team.” North Bend coach Dustin Hood agreed. “They keep getting better,” he said. “And they like to work hard.” North Bend also won the No. 1 singles match, where Jacob Gage dominated Logan Gates 6-0, 6-0. “Jacob plays pretty well,” Hood said. Gage said the improvement is team-wide. “We’ve improved quite a bit since the start of the season,” he said, attributing the success to hard work and good coaching. North Bend also got straight-sets wins Wednesday at No. 2 singles by Brigham Baker and No. 4 singles by Steven Chan. SEE TENNIS | B3

Blazers return home with 2-0 lead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — LaMarcus Aldridge’s son JJ, who turned 5 on Wednesday, texted him after the Portland Trail Blazers’ playoff win and told him he looked like SpiderMan on one of his dunks. To the Houston Rockets the Portland star probably looked like a superhero on more than just that one play. Aldridge continued his dominance against the Rockets, scoring 43 points to lift the Trail Blazers to a 112-105 victory and a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series. Aldridge has made the most of the return to his home state and put the Trail Blazers in control heading home for Game 3 in Portland on Friday. The former University of Texas star who grew up in Dallas laughed heartily and said ‘maybe’ when asked if he’d rather stay in the Lone Star state after the way he’s played in the first two games. “(Leading) 2-0 going home feels great, but it’s not over,” he said. “We’re going to stay hungry, stay humble and go home and try to duplicate the same (success).” Aldridge became the first player with consecutive games of 43 points games in the playoffs since

Tracy McGrady did it in April 2003 after scoring a career-high and franchise playoff-record 46 in an overtime win in Game 1. He’s also the first player Trail Blazers history to have two 40-point games in the postseason and his 89 points in a team’s first two playoff games trail only Michael Jordan (1986, 1988) and Jerry West (1965) in the last 50 years. He’s helped the Trail Blazers win two road games to start a playoff series for just the second time in franchise history and the first since they took the first two against the Lakers in the 1977 Western Conference Finals. Damian Lillard made six free throws down the stretch to help out in the win. But the guard gave all the credit for the win to Aldridge. “What can they do to stop him? He was great once again, just like Game 1,” Lillard said. “When a lot of guys couldn’t get going and couldn’t hit shots, he just carried us. He played like an MVP again.” The Rockets spent the last two days of practice focused on how to slow Aldridge down, but nothing they did seemed to faze the 6foot-11 player.

Chicago’s Darwin Barney hits an RBI bunt during the fifth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Wednesday. season against Packers Barney, who played for Oregon State in college, ended up on second base after an error by the Diamondbacks.

Arizona spoils Wrigley celebration CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first game at Wrigley Field in the most appropriate way: with a gut-wrenching loss. They entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead. They were one out from victory. And then they collapsed. After an error by shortstop Starlin Castro, the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for five runs in the ninth to beat the Cubs 7-5 Wednesday. “That one finished not like we would have wanted, obviously,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. “It seemed like the inning kept opening up, and we weren’t able to end up in the end putting a stop to it.” Martin Prado hit a two-run single off Pedro Strop (0-2), Miguel Montero had a tying single against James Russell and Aaron Hill followed with a two-run triple off Justin Grimm. The beloved ballpark, the secondoldest in the major leagues behind 102year-old Fenway Park in Boston, opened on April 23, 1914, when the Federal League’s Chicago Federals beat the Kansas City Packers 9-1. Fans sang “Happy Birthday” in the middle of the fifth inning Wednesday. The Cubs wore Federals’ uniforms, and

the Diamondbacks wore Kansas City Packers’ threads. The Cubs moved into the Friendly Confines in 1916, after the Federal League folded, and have established a tradition of beloved losers. The Cubs’ only World Series titles came in 1907 and ‘08, when they played at the West Side Grounds, and they haven’t even reached the World Series since 1945. Still, the Cubs are 4,076-3,621 (.530) during the regular season at Wrigley, according to STATS, and 7-20 in the postseason. Chicago failed in its bid to win three straight games for the first time since last July 26-28. “Big day out there. You want to show up, have a good turnout for the fans and former players in the crowd,” Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija said. Before a crowd of 32,323 — about 9,000 under capacity — the Cubs led 52 in the ninth. Strop walked Chris Owings on four pitches and Castro allowed Tony Campana’s grounder to kick off his glove for an error. Castro tried to keep his left leg on second as he retrieved the ball, and second base umpire Brian O’Nora called the sliding Owings safe — a decision confirmed by the replay umpire in New York. Pinch-hitter Eric Chavez walked on a full count, loading the bases, and

Gerardo Parra struck out. Prado’s bouncer up the middle bounded off second base, eluding second baseman Darwin Barney and kicking into short right-center field as the Diamondbacks closed to 5-4. Strop struck out Paul Goldschmidt for the second out. Montero fouled off a 2-2 pitch, took a ball, and then lined a tying single to right. Hill blooped a ball down the right-field line and Justin Ruggiano injured his left hamstring as he tried for a sliding catch near the foul line and the bullpen mound. He needed assistance to leave the field and was replaced by Ryan Kalish. Samardzija allowed two runs and seven hits in 7 1-3 innings and is winless in 11 starts since beating San Diego on Aug. 24. He was supported by Ruggiano’s two-run homer in the sixth and a three-run fifth. Trevor Cahill (1-4) pitched two scoreless innings for Arizona, which ended a four-game losing streak, and Addison Reed got his fourth save as the Cubs went quietly in a 1-2-3 ninth. That gave the Diamondbacks gome good news on a day when they learned outfielder Mark Trumbo will be out an undetermined amount of time with a stress fracture in his left foot. Trumbo has felt plantar fasciitis since spring training.

Pitcher Pineda is tossed for using pine tar THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Michael Pineda was ejected for using pine tar less than two weeks after appearing to get away with using a foreign substance in another game against Boston, and the Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-1 Wednesday night. The right-hander was thrown out in the secMLB ond inning Recap when plate umpire G e r r y Davis found the substance on the right side of Pineda’s neck after Red Sox manager John Farrell asked him to check. Pineda walked from the mound without protest. Both Pineda and Davis said it was pine tar. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Pineda and the organization were “embarrassed.” John Lackey (3-2) allowed one run and seven hits in eight innings with 11 strikeouts and no walks. Mike Napoli had three hits and Boston scored two runs in the first and two more in the third. The Yankees scored on Alfonso Soriano’s sacrifice fly in the sixth. Twins 6, Rays 4, 12 innings: Chris Colabello drove in four runs, including two on a 12th-inning single that lifted Minnesota past Tampa Bay. Colabello drove in Minnesota’s first two runs with a fourth-inning home run off Rays starter Jake Odorizzi, his third homer of the season and his second in two nights. The four RBIs gave the Twins designated hitter a league-leading 26 for the season and tied the franchise record for RBIs in April that Kirby Puckett set in 1994.

Trufant will retire from football as a Seahawk RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have signed former cornerback Marcus Trufant, who is expected to announce his retirement from football. Seattle announced the signing Wednesday and said Trufant was expected to announce his intentions during a news conference today. Trufant spent nearly his entire NFL career with his hometown team. The native of Tacoma, Wash., and former star at Washington State was a first-round pick by the Seahawks in 2003. He went on to spend 10 seasons in Seattle, starting 125 of his 136 career games. He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2007, but was slowed by injuries later in his career and went unsigned by Seattle after the 2012 season. Trufant signed with Jacksonville before the 2013 season but was cut at the end of training camp.

Oldest living former player dies at 102 HAVANA — Family members say Conrado Marrero, the oldest living former Major League Baseball player, died in Havana. He was just two days short of his 103rd birthday. Grandson Rogelio Marrero confirmed the death Wednesday afternoon. Marrero was a diminutive right-hander from Cuba who went by the nickname “Connie” when he pitched for the Washington Senators in the 1950s. He was renowned for his control and for his presence on the mound despite standing just 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 158 pounds. What Marrero lacked in heat he made up for with a tricky repertoire of breaking balls, knucklers and other off-speed pitches. He also had a quirky windup that Felipe Alou once likened to “a cross between a windmill gone berserk and a mallard duck trying to fly backwards.”

Miami holds off Charlotte rally

THE WORLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — LeBron James scored 32 points and added eight assists, Chris Bosh scored 20 points and the Miami Heat held on to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 101-97 on Wednesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series. “We can play better basketball,” James said. “We haven’t played our best basketball.” Dwyane Wade scored 15 points, and had a steal in the final seconds to seal the win for Miami. He stripped the ball from Chris DouglasRoberts with the Heat protecting a three-point lead with about 3 seconds left, and the Bobcats never got another shot off. “A very instinctual, high-risk play,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “The ball’s there and you know you have an opportunity to get it when most people can’t get that, and that saved the game.”

BRIDGE Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, “Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.” But one does hope that repetition transforms a truth that is sometimes overlooked into a truth that is remembered. As an example, how do the defenders defeat four hearts in this deal after West leads the spade ace? The bidding is instructive. Over West’s textbook takeout double, North’s redouble indicates at least 10 high-card points and fewer than four-

card heart support. (Note that in the United States, a two-diamond response is typically treated as natural and nonforcing, showing a long suit in a weak hand. With a good hand that isn’t suitable for a forcing one-level response, responder must start with redouble.) After this redouble, the simplest rule is that either the opening pair buys the contract or the intervening side plays in something doubled for penalty. Under West’s spade ace, East drops his three, the lowest card denying both the spade queen and a doubleton. West continues with the spade queen. Now East should play his eight, starting a high-low with his remaining doubleton.Then West cashes the spade king. But what should he do at trick four? West has 14 high-card points and dummy has 13. That leaves 13 for East and South. The declarer must have the diamond ace, club ace and club king. It is highly unlikely that the defenders can gain a minor-suit trick. And if so, the fourth defensive trick will have to come from trumps. West should lead his last spade. This promotes East’s heart jack to the setting trick.
