Becoming “Civil”-ized In historic year for Civil War buffs, local man shares his knowledge ■

Water washes over a chunk of steel at a minus tide April 18 in the Coos Bay channel off Boat Basin Road in Charleston.John Hartman, who teaches an American Civil War adult education class at Southwestern, said he has identified the remnant as a piece of the Gussie Telfair steamer, a decommissioned Civil War ship that wrecked in Coos Bay in 1880.
COOS BAY — The country is in the midst of the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Civil War. And 150 years after the conflict that determined the fate of the nation, one local amateur historian is finding that it still resonates across generations.
John Hartman is a retired instrumental music director for the North Bend School District who, since 2010, has been teaching a community education class on the Civil War at Southwestern Oregon Community College. “I originally started out with one class, one term, and that covered the most important battles of the Civil War and then everybody said I should do a second term,” he said, after his most recent class got underway March 31. “And that’s kind of evolved to the point where I’m in my third go-round on this
three-term course for the Civil War.” He says people have taken an interest in his class for a variety of reasons. For many, it is the chance to connect with ancestors who played a role in the battles. Hartman himself falls into that category. “My family came from the area around Chattanooga, Tenn. Tennessee was a secessionist state but my family were Unionists and they sent six sons to the Union army, one son to the Confederate SEE CIVIL WAR | A8
4 in 5 U.S. students graduate
Bay Area shows it cares
BY KIMBERLY HELFING The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. public high schools have reached a milestone, an 80 percent graduation rate. Yet that still means 1 of every 5 students walks away without a diploma. Citing the progress, researchers are projecting a 90 percent national graduation rate by 2020. Their report, based on Education Department statistics from 2012, was presented Monday at the Building a GradNation Summit. The growth has been spurred by such factors as a greater awareness of the dropout problem and efforts by districts, states and the federal government to include graduation rates in accountability measures. Among the initiatives are closing “dropout factory” schools. In addition, schools are taking aggressive action, such as hiring intervention specialists who work with students one on one, to keep teenagers in class, researchers said. Growth in rates among African-American and Hispanic students helped fuel the gains. Most of the growth has occurred since 2006 after decades of stagnation. “At a moment when everything seems so broken and seems so unfixable ... this story tells you something completely different,” said John Gomperts, president of America’s Promise Alliance, which was founded by former Secretary of State Colin Powell and helped produce the report. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Monday the country owes a debt of gratitude to teachers, students and families whose hard work helped the country reach the 80 percent mark. “But even as we celebrate this remarkable achievement, our students have limitless potential and we owe it to all of our children to work together so they all can achieve at higher levels,” Duncan said in a statement. The rate of 80 percent is based on federal statistics primarily using a calculation by which the number of graduates in a given is year divided by the number of students who enrolled four years earlier. Adjustments are made for trans-

The two students from Southwestern Oregon Community College were helping the Zonta group for the Day of Caring through the United Way.

He turned his hobby into raising money for a cause. Will King is bicycling from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Mexico and collecting funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and Anthony Nolan charities, which help cystic fibrosis and cancer patients. “Vancouver to Mexico seemed doable,” King said. He arrived in Coos Bay on Friday, putting him nearly one-third of the way on his trip, or about 600 of the 2,000 or so miles. He said his goal of

50 to 60 miles per day has been hampered by rainy weather. King began his journey April 14 and plans to break up the trip in two segments: The first ends right before Mexico and the second ends in Columbia. Since he wasn’t sure how the roads would be once he got further south, he decided to take a bus part of the way. He also isn’t collecting donations for the second leg. The whole trek required a fivemonth sabbatical from his job at a mining brokerage in London. The farthest he’s bicycled was SEE WHEELING | A8

Nationalism is our great ally With Vladimir Putin having bloodlessly annexed Crimea and hinting that his army might cross the border to protect the Russians of East Ukraine, Washington is abuzz with talk of dispatching U.S. troops to Eastern Europe. But unless we have lost our minds, we are not going to fight Russia over territory no president ever regarded as vital to us. Indeed, should Putin annex Eastern and Southern Ukraine all the way to Odessa, he would simply be restoring to Russian rule what had belonged to her from Washington’s inaugural in 1789 to George H. W. Bush’s inaugural in 1989. This is not an argument for ignoring Russia’s conduct. But it is an argument for assessing what is vital and what is not, what threatens us and what does not, and what is the real deterrent to any re-establishment of the Soviet Empire. Before we start sending troops back to Europe, as we did 65 years ago under Harry Truman, let us ask ourselves: Was it really the U.S. Army, which never crossed the Elbe or engaged in battle with the Red Army, that brought down the Soviet Empire and dissolved the Soviet Union? PAT No. What liberated the of Eastern BUCHANAN nations Europe and the USSR was Columnist the determined will of these peoples to be free to decide their own destinies and create, or re-create, nations based on their own history, language, culture and ethnic identity? Nationalism brought down the empire. And Mikhail Gorbachev let these nations go because Russia was weary of maintaining a coercive empire and because Russia, too, wanted to be part of the free world. While Putin may want the Russians of Ukraine and Belarus back inside a Greater Russia, does anyone think he wants Rumanians, Bulgarians, Poles, Hungarians, Czechs or Slovaks back under Moscow’s rule? Putin knows that his own popularity, near 80 percent, is due directly to his being seen as a nationalist willing to stand up to the Americans and their claim to be sole architects of the New World Order. And it is nationalism, not a NATO full of freeloaders, that is America’s great ally in this post-Cold War world. It was nationalism that liberated the captive nations, broke apart the Soviet Union, split Czechoslovakia in two and divided Yugoslavia into seven countries. Nationalism drove the Chechens to try to break from Moscow, the Abkhazians and South Ossetians to secede from Georgia, and the Crimeans to say goodbye to Kiev. And as nationalism tore apart the Soviet Empire and USSR, nationalism will prevent their recreation. Should Putin invade and annex all of Ukraine, not just Crimea and the East where Russians are in a majority, his country would face the same resistance from occupied Western Ukraine Russia faces today in Dagestan, Ingushetia and Chechnya. Putin knows that. But if Eastern Ukraine, in the May election, should indicate a will to secede and join Russia, or become a separate autonomous state, why would we automatically oppose that? Are we not ourselves the proud descendants of the secessionists of ‘76? If we can view with diffidence the drive by Scotland to secede from England, Catalonia to secede from Spain, Venice to secede from Italy, and Flanders to secede from Belgium, why would the secession of the Donbass from Ukraine be a problem for us, if done democratically? Nationalism is the natural enemy of empires, and it seems on the rise almost everywhere. An assertion of Chinese nationalism — Beijing’s claim to islands Japan has occupied for over a century — has caused a resurgence of a Japanese nationalism dormant since World War II. Japan’s nationalist resurgence has caused a rise in anti-Japanese nationalism in Korea. China’s great adversary today is Asian nationalism. Elections for the European Parliament in May are almost certain to see gains for the Ukip in England, Marine Le Pen’s National Front in France, Geert Wilders Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, and other nationalist parties that have lately arisen across Europe. These parties in a way echo Putin. Where he wants Ukraine to stay out of the EU, they want their countries to get out of the EU. Secessionism and nationalism are growth stocks today. Centralization and globalization are yesterday. A new world is coming. And while perhaps unwelcome news for the transnational elites championing such causes as climate change and battling global economic inequality, it is hard to see any great threat in all this to the true interests of the American people.
Letters to the Editor Abortion is about power, control Dear Mr. Pete Stingley, concerning your quest for understanding abortion in a nutshell: It is about power and control. The unborn has neither power nor control, which is given to the woman. The woman would have no power nor control if it was not for the legislatures, who, by the way, need money and votes. The courts uphold the laws of the legislatures which, by the way, need money and votes. Who gives them the money and the votes? That would be we, the people, and anybody else in the need of power and control, and it fits their agenda. The rightness or wrongness of abortion has dropped by the wayside in favor of power and control because we lack moral conviction as a society. How we treat the weakest members of society demonstrates our compassion and our humanness. Compassion asks us to think of others before ourselves; to be accountable for our choices and actions; realizing our choices affect another person. Either we don’t get it or refuse to get it, but in the end, we will learn. We only need to look at how we treat each other and we will understand that the consequences of abortion are visible. Who is important and who is not? Kori Frasier Coquille
Yet another vote for Beaman I have been working along side Judge Cynthia Beaman for the last six years. It is a privilege to say that she, along with all of the judges in our 15th Judicial District, is all top notch. Judge Beaman is fair, intelligent, compassionate and, above all, has integrity. Some of her rulings are confined within the scope of the law but in some instances she can use her own discretion. This is where her experience is
very important because her decision might be based on the safety of all parties and our communities, and the parties in question. Her love and dedication to our county is unwavering because this is the community she has chosen to raise her family. To be on the bench and to be a judge is not an easy job, but Judge Beaman does take the time to try to explain to all parties why and how she reached her verdict. Another factor that the general public might not be aware of is that our judicial district will be transitioning to eCourt in 2015. eCourt will be a paperless court and is necessary but will be a difficult change, and will provide a huge challenge to all judicial employees in our district. I feel that an experienced judge will be very necessary during this change. On a personal note, I think Judge Beaman is a great woman. She is very involved as a wife, mother and business owner in Brookings. She is a leader in numerous activities involving school, sports and her local communities. Her energy seems endless, and you can count on her to serve her district with the same enthusiasm. Most of us don't visit the courthouse on a regular basis but, If you have the time, I encourage you do so. You can see for yourself that Judge Beaman is doing a great job for our 15th Judicial District. I encourage you to vote for Judge Cynthia Beaman. Experience, integrity and compassion do count. Julie Brown Gold Beach
Showing support for Kudlac We are proud to support Shala McKenzie Kudlac as a candidate for judge. We have had the opportunity to work both as co-counsel and as an opponent, and have found her to have a common sense approach to
the legal field. Shala McKenzie Kudlac is a strong candidate for judge because of her knowledge of the people and her abilities in the law. She is a sincere and honest person who has demonstrated her abilities as a lawyer. She is mature beyond her years due to her upbringing and work ethic. We believe she is a leader in whatever endeavors she may choose to pursue and will be a great asset to the judiciary in Coos and Curry County. Your support of Shala McKenzie Kudlac for judge is important, so please remember to vote. The mail-in ballots are out April 30 and must be received by 5 p.m. May 20. Ann Hernandez Bandon
Log trucks make roads trecherous On May 24, a loaded log truck and I collided on highway 241. The story read my car was over the line, the reason was is because the first truck came around the corner and I had to swerve all the way to the right side to not be struck by him. I came rather close to going over the right side, so I corrected, as soon as I did this another truck came around the corner and we collided. The newspaper wrote that the information that they received was from the authorities — to which I never had a real conversation with, as I was with the ambulance driver, then my daughter and her friend, followed by my husband. I understand that everyone has a job to do and that we all need to do it accurately. As far as the OHP getting my age wrong, they also had returned the wrong information back to myself and the other driver, this is again poor accuracy. My main concern is the way the log trucks drive coming from Allegany to Coos Bay, speed-wise and staying in their own lane. I have numerous pictures and videos of many different trucks
cutting corners, not having tail lights that work and not using their brakes until they hit the bridge to Coos Bay, and not staying in their own lane. I know that we all are guilty of doing this at some point, including us car drivers, also. Where our accident happened there is a school to which most of my neighborhood kids go to. This is a place where all of us in our community should slow down, check our load and be alert, because at some time people may not be as lucky as both the other driver and myself were. Thank you so much. Melissa La Rue Coos Bay
Political cartoon skirts accuracy In Thursday’s “The World” newspaper, there was printed a cartoon by Roberts which I feel needs a slight correction. Seemingly, of the three requirements to be a U.S. president, only one of those stated apply anymore. The kid in the middle has the correct answer for today. The assertion by the boy on the left has not been proven adequately to satisfy a very large number of people, and the girl on the right has obviously been given incorrect info by someone! After all, of 44 past and current presidents, only three have shared those last names. Jim Kuhn Port Orford

CEP a once in a lifetime opportunity BY MARK WALL of Boost As co-chair Southwest Oregon, a grassroots organization formed to support the Jordan Cove Energy Project, I urge you to support the Community Enhancement Plan (CEP) and its education component, the South Coast Community Foundation (SCCF). Of the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone (EZ) sponsors (the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend, the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay and Coos County), North Bend and the Port have already voted to join SCCF. Coos Bay and Coos County are expected to join soon. With children in North Bend schools, I see firsthand the building conditions, high student-teacher ratios and requests for help with basic school supplies. Schools are barely funded to run day-to-day operations, and have accrued millions of dollars in deferred maintenance. Each new school year brings program and/or teacher cuts. This is no way to educate kids or manage our school systems. SCCF offers a golden opportunity to support schools now and create a funding endowment for the future, truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity we can’t afford to lose. Do not be swayed by negative sound-bites, emotional rhetoric or falsehoods. Take the time to thoroughly understand the proposal and its benefits. You’ll see a well thought-out plan
Your Views with noble intentions. There are no finer local citizens than Joanne Verger, Bill Lansing and John Whitty, vilified by our local newspaper as “aristocrats,” and by others as “fraudsters” and having “hidden agendas” in volunteering to create the SCCF. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Decades from now, they and our community leaders will be hailed as visionaries for creating and approving the SCCF and its endowment legacy. Thank you Bill, John and Joanne for all that you have done. The majority of our community really does appreciate your efforts. The CEP working group is currently reviewing SCCF bylaws. Public debate, for the most part, has been healthy. Bylaws have evolved, ensuring public access and transparency. Debate cannot go on forever. Let’s stop the bickering and partisanship and do what is best for all Coos County citizens: ratify the SCCF. Jordan Cove applied for a long term EZ exemption predicated on a community embracing the Community Service Fees (CSF) they’ll voluntarily pay into the CEP, 50 percent of which would be dedicated to schools. If the community does not support the CEP, it is entirely possible — and within Jordan Cove’s right — to
withdraw the application and simply take the automatic twoyear construction/three-year property tax exemption. Simply put, here are our choices: Choice No. 1: Jordan Cove automatically qualifies for a three-year exemption on top of a two-year construction waiver. We receive no new property tax money for five years, after which they would pay normal property taxes and we would lose over 50 percent of the dollars to the state’s school equalization formula. Choice No. 2: Jordan Cove pays the CSF with the 15-year exemption. With an approved CEP and SCCF, money flows into our community and schools in year one — with no loss to equalization. If SCCF is approved, and the project begins construction in 2015, we receive $6 million in year 1 (2016), rising to $13 million in 2034. With approximately 10,000 area students, this equals $600 per student in year 1. Without CEP and SCCF, we’ll see nothing for five years. Then, only about $30 per student returns to our community from equalization money sent to Salem. Our choice: $600 per student or $30; $6 million per year starting in year 1, or $300,000/year starting in year 6?
Since the CSF’s expire in 2034, it is prudent to put aside a portion to ensure long term viability. So, as currently proposed, half the school contribution, $3 million, will be invested in an endowment, and half ($300 per student) will be distributed right away. People are rightfully concerned about equalization. What would happen if the state tries to “claw back” SCCF dollars from local schools? SCCF is not a precedentsetting proposal. Already, more than 30 educational foundations exist in Oregon, doing for many years what the SCCF proposes. The Legislature has not “clawed back” their dollars. If the state decided to go after SCCF, it would have to go after every other education 501(c)(3) in Oregon. Should it ever happen, we’d have a lot of powerful friends in the fight. The city of Coos Bay and Coos County need to make the right decision for our community. Please tell your elected officials in Coos Bay and Coos County you support the SCCF and the right thing to do for our community is to join the SCCF. Other components of the CEP will be discussed soon. For more information, or to join BOOST and publicly state your support, go to: www.boostsouthwestoregon.org. Mark Wall is a 25-year resident of Coos County, co-chair of Boost Southwest Oregon and a vice president with the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.

News of the West Help to curb Local astronomers will fly in NASA observatory Oregon child abuse project a RYAN PFEIL M T M by learning ‘quagmire’ its symptoms DEAR ABBY: Child abuse is epidemic in the United States. It occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural levels, within all religions DEAR and at all levels of education. Every year, more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the U.S. Without JEANNE PHILLIPS i n te r ve n tion, about 30 percent of those abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children. With the proper skills, all parents can raise happy, healthy children. Treatment is necessary, but our communities also need to do a better job at prevention. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Please ask your readers to learn about programs and activities in their communities that support parents and promote healthy families. — JOHN E. THORESEN, DIRECTOR, BARBARA SINATRA CHILDREN'S CENTER, RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. DEAR MR. THORESEN: Thank you for your letter. Readers, the first step to curbing child abuse is recognizing it. These are the 10 most common indicators: UNEXPLAINED 1. INJURIES: Visible signs may include burns or bruises in the shape of objects. There may be unconvincing explanations for a child's injuries. 2. CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR: Abused children often appear scared, anxious, depressed, withdrawn or more aggressive. 3. RETURNING TO EARLIER BEHAVIOR: Abused children may display behaviors shown when they were younger, such as thumbsucking, bed-wetting, fear of the dark or strangers. For some, loss of basic language or memory problems may occur. 4. FEAR OF GOING HOME: Abused children may express fear or anxiety about leaving school or going places with the abuser. 5. CHANGES IN EATING: The stress, fear and anxiety lead to changes in a child's eating behaviors, which may result in weight gain or weight loss. 6. CHANGES IN SLEEP HABITS: The child may have frequent nightmares or have difficulty falling asleep, and appear tired or fatigued. 7. CHANGES IN SCHOOL PERFORMANCE OR ATTENDANCE: Children may demonstrate difficulty concentrating in school or experience excessive absences, sometimes because of adults trying to hide the children's injuries from authorities. 8. LACK OF PERSONAL CARE OR HYGIENE: The child may appear unkempt, be consistently dirty and have severe body odor, or lack sufficient clothing for the weather. 9. RISK-TAKING BEHAVIORS: The child may engage in high-risk activities such as using drugs or alcohol, or carrying a weapon. 10. INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR: A sexually abused child may exhibit overly sexualized behavior or use explicit sexual language. We can all support children and parents to reduce the stress that often leads to abuse and neglect. Be a friend to a parent or child you know. Volunteer your time or donate to programs that support child abuse treatment and prevention as well as those that build healthy families. Trust your instincts. Suspected abuse is enough of a reason to contact authorities. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

EDFORD AIL RIBUNE Medford — Two local amateur astronomers have been selected to help gather infrared data in the stratosphere A projected map cuts through the semidarkness of North Medford High School’s planetarium and shimmers into focus on the dome’s curved ceiling. It’s a flight path, showing planned liftoffs from Palmdale, Calif., on Wednesday and Thursday that will soar over Oregon, Washington, parts of Canada, Iowa and Idaho before returning to base; two 10-hour jaunts with no planned landings. “Sunset to sunrise, we’ll fly all night,� says Robert Black, North Medford’s astronomy teacher and planetarium director. But the route isn’t for a typical airplane flight, the kind with a cramped seat and a bag of stale crackers. Black, 50, along with friend and fellow amateur astronomer Dave Bloomsness, 61, of Southern Oregon Skywatchers, will fly aboard SOFIA — NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy — the
world’s largest flying telescope. They are among 24 educators who were selected from across the country for SOFIA’s Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program. Working alongside astronomers and other scientists, they will collect infrared images and data pertaining to the study of interstellar gases, star formation and destruction, and black holes — all at 45,000 feet in the Earth’s stratosphere, about twice the height for a domestic plane flight. When they return, they will implement classroom lessons and public outreach events based on their experiences. “It’s a huge opportunity. I’m really excited,� Bloomsness says.
Ambassadors Educators have been taking similar flights since the Ambassadors program began in 2010. Black says his mentor, Gary Sprague, took a flight in the 1980s aboard the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, a modified C141A military cargo plane that ran research and observation flights from 1975 until its retirement in
the 1990s. SOFIA took over in 2010. “That’s one of the high points of his career,� Black says of Sprague’s flight. “He volunteered to fly. Somebody got sick. It was an accident for him, serendipity.� The opportunity for Black and Bloomsness did not come by accident, however. It took work and a meticulous application process, combined with weeks of advanced astronomy study. Black first heard about plans for the Ambassadors program in 1999 while attending a workshop at the NASA Ames Research Center near Palo Alto, Calif. “They said, ‘Our plan is to allow astronomy teachers and amateur astronomers to fly in a competitive process,’� Black says. “You have to apply and get letters of recommendation.� He listened for information about the program for years and stayed up to date on the construction of SOFIA’s 2.5-meter diameter telescope. In 2010, it was ready. When he heard the program sought pairs of applicants, Black thought first of Bloomsness. “There’s nobody else. We
already worked together. His knowledge of telescopes is vast,� Black says. “We make a good team. We have complementary knowledge, so we work really well together,� Bloomsness adds. They began the application process in June 2013 and took an advanced 26-chapter astronomy course through Montana State University. One of the course’s questions asked students to use advanced mathematics to figure out how much hydrogen fuel the sun has used over a 4.5-billion-year span. “I thought, ‘Oh it shouldn’t be too tough,’ � says Bloomsness. “We put a lot of hours in.� Finalists would be called in June, but because of the government sequester, they had to wait an extra six months to be notified. “Almost in my mind, I’d given up on it,� Black says. “I wanted to be either told yes or no.� They got the call the day after Black’s 50th birthday, on Nov. 17. “I howled out the window ... I was happy,� Black says. “It was great,� Bloomsness chimes in.
Oregon raises white flag over its health exchange Oregon has been “all in� on health reform. Its embrace of the Affordable Care Act includes a very successful Medicaid expansion, a $2 billion federal experiment to show the state can save money by managing patients’ care better, and, of course, the state’s own online marketplace to sell Obamacare insurance. But that last point has been a huge problem. The Cover Oregon board decided on Friday to ditch its troubled website and join up with the federal exchange Healthcare.gov instead. The Oregon site launched with high expectations to the tune of quirky, whimsical folk songs by local musicians. But after six months and about $250 million spent, Oregonians still can’t
use the website to sign up for coverage on their own. They have to use a navigator. The reasons for the problems are multiple: The state wanted a website that could enroll everyone from indibusinesses viduals to owners, Medicaid recipients and even children. On top of that, the contract Cover Oregon drew up with the software giant Oracle to build the site didn’t link payment with producing a working website. So Cover Oregon’s board made a choice. Instead of spending another $80 million dollars to try to fix its troubled website, it will sign up with the feds for about $5 million and be assured of a working system. “Of course we’re very disappointed,� says Dr. George Brown, a Cover Oregon board
member. “People have worked very hard to make this work. And I think there’s been significant success if you look at the numbers of people who’ve been enrolled both through the qualified health plan as well as Medicaid.� About 240,000 people did manage to enroll through Cover Oregon, although many of them had to do it via pen and paper rather than keyboard and mouse. But switching to the federal exchange may cause some headaches of its own. The 70,000 Oregonians who signed up for individual insurance may have to do so all over again, says Clyde Hamstreet, Cover Oregon’s third chief in five months. “Let me say this, nobody has to re-enroll now. What we have to do in November, we’ve got to work out,� says
Hamstreet. “It might be that some companies will have to do it and other’s won’t.� He says November’s important because that’s when the enrollment window opens again, and he says, the system has to be working. Oregonians may have other problems with the federal exchange. For example, five of the 16 health insurance companies currently doing business in the state don’t have the computer interface needed to work with the federal exchange. So will they go to the expense of setting one up? Or will they stop doing business in Oregon? That’s unclear. Also, navigators who’ve been trained to help people sign up for Cover Oregon will now have to be retrained for Healthcare.gov.
COTTAGE GROVE (AP) — Plans for a new hydroelectric plant at a dam in Oregon have become a mess, with the project’s owner and its now-former general contractor fighting in federal court. The privately owned power plant at Dorena Dam on the Row River near Cottage Grove has been under construction for nearly two years, was slated to be done last June and is millions of dollars over budget, The Register-Guard reported. The delays have disqualified its owner, Dorena Hydro LLC, from getting a government subsidy of about $8 million. Dorena Hydro and its general contractor, Mowat Construction, of Woodinville, Wash., are accusing each other in a federal lawsuit of bungling the project. Mowat’s president wrote in one letter to Dorena Hydro that the venture is a “quagmire,� the newspaper reported. The dispute highlights the potential pitfalls of grafting a hydroelectric project onto an old dam built for flood control, the newspaper said. The dam is owned and run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which granted permission for the project. Dorena Hydro held a splashy groundbreaking ceremony at the site in 2012. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., lauded the project’s greenenergy potential. But even then, Dorena Hydro and Mowat were arguing. That spring and summer, Dorena Hydro failed to get government approval of a key geotechnical report, pushing initial excavation late into the 2012 construction season and into rainy weather, Mowat project manager Zachary Adams said in a March 4 court filing.
11 weekend DUII arrests in Washington County HILLSBORO (AP) — It was a busy weekend for Washington County sheriff’s deputies who made 11 drunken driving arrests. They included the drivers responsible for two Saturday night crashes. In one crash, a woman was driving southbound in the northbound lanes of Southwest Pacific Highway with her lights out when she collided with an oncoming car. All three people involved in the crash were taken to Oregon & Science Health University Hospital in Portland.
Oregon State Police troopers are investigating. Investigators say that about 8:40 a.m. Sunday the deputy lost control of the vehicle on wet pavement as they were on their way to help other officers who had located an assault suspect in a field north of Salem. The deputy was driving northbound, but the SUV went across the center median into the southbound lanes and struck a concrete roadside wall and sign before coming to rest along the shoulder. The deputy and cadet were taken to Salem Hospital for treatment.

PORTLAND (AP) — A public memorial is planned next month for Mick, a Portland police dog killed in a shootout that also wounded his handler. The shootout followed a burglary at a police equipment store and ensuing chase on April 16. Officer Jeff Dorn was shot in both legs; police say three men have been arrested and charged in the case.
NEWS D I G E S T The memorial will be held the morning of May 12 at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro. Members of the public are invited.
Health exchange has failed partner project PORTLAND (AP) — An internal Department of Human Services presentation shows a troubled vendor’s information technology modernization project is far behind schedule. The Oregonian newspaper obtained a copy of the presentation, which illustrated the problems with the system created by Oracle Corp. It’s the second troubled project between the state and Oracle. The first, Oregon, was Cover scrapped Friday after the state sunk $250 million into the failed health care exchange. The modernization project would allow Oregonians to electronically apply for
food stamps and other benefits including Medicaid, employment-related daycare subsidies and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. But Oracle missed an October deadline, and a recent DHS review shows it’s only 11 percent complete. About $71 million has been spent on the project, with $48 million going to Oracle.
Summer-like highs forecast this week SEATTLE (AP) — The National Weather Service is forecasting the warmest temperatures since last summer in the Northwest. Forecasters say temperatures will rise into the 70s under sunny skies in Washington and Oregon on Tuesday and Wednesday, peaking in the 80s Thursday. Clouds are expected to bring temperatures back to normal on Friday and next weekend.

Four ways to stop wasting money Want to keep more of the m o n ey yo u ea r n ? S to p wasting money on goods and services that you don’t really c a r e EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE aS bt oaurt t. paying attention where y o u r money goes and you just might se e t h e e q u iva Mary lent of Hunt working a second job in your wallet — not leaking out of your life undetected. 1. S t o p b u y i n g f r o m T V a ds. Infomercial products are overpriced and hardly ever turn out to be as wonderful as depicted. And those risk-free trial periods? Don’t believe it. You’ll have to pay the return shipping costs plus a restocking fee, if you ever get around to it. Whenever tempted by an infomercial product, take a second to look up the item on eBay. You’ll be shocked to find dozens at a f ra c t i o n o f t h e p r i ce because that’s where they unload all the “as seen on T V ” p ro d u c ts t h a t ge t returned. Ask yourself, why so many returns? By then the infomercial should be over and you can get on with your day. 2 . S t o p im p u l s iv e c r af t ing. Remember the beading s u p p l i e s a n d to o l s yo u bought because you were sure you’d love the activity, but are now sitting in your basement? Or how about the entire scrapbooking outfit that seemed so perfect when you attended a h o m e pa r ty ? D i d t h e albums even make it out of the bag? It’s way too easy for those of us who share the impulsive gene to make snap decisions. Instead of jumping in with both feet, sign up for a class to check out a new hobby. A few sessions will tell you how committed you are to the craft. 3 . S t o p f a il in g t o r e t u r n . It doesn’t fit right or the color is wrong, but who has time to trek back to the store? You do. Failing to return your shopping mistakes is way at the top of the biggest money wasters. Think of all those clothes you’ve worn once — or not at all — that could have been converted back into cash had you acted the m o m e n t yo u rea l i ze d they’re just not right. If you still have receipts, try to get a refund for all the NWT’s (new with tags) you’re harboring. At least try for store credit. If that doesn’t work, there’s always re-gifting. In the future, always ask about the store’s refund policy. Save your receipts and do not fail to make the return. 4 . S t o p p a y i n g fo r s t o r age. Don’t get me going on this one. Look, if you’ve got so much stuff that you need to pay to store it, there’s a se r i o u s l i ke l i h o o d t h a t you’ve got too much stuff. Take the plunge and unload everything you don’t use or need. Turn what you can into cash at websites like Craigslist.org, eBay.com or Half.com. Give things that are still serviceable to charities like Goodwill.com or SalvationArmy.com. Check out the FreeCycle.org chapter in your area. Your hard work will be well-rewarded with peace of mind and a fatter wallet, too.

D I G E S T Insurgents seize council building K O S T YA N T Y N I V K A , Ukraine (AP) — Masked and armed militants on Monday seized a council building in yet another city in eastern Ukraine, expanding their onslaught in the region, while Barack Obama said the U.S. would levy new sanctions on Russians for Moscow’s alleged involvement in the unrest. The building housing the city hall and the city council in Kostyantynivka, just 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the Russian border, was seized by masked men who carried automatic weapons. About 15 armed men, some wearing a symbol of the proRussian movement, guarded the building.
US to levy new sanctions in Russia MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Seeking to ratchet up pressure on Vladimir Putin, President Barack Obama said the United States will levy new sanctions Monday on Russian individuals and companies in retaliation for Moscow’s alleged provocations in Ukraine. Obama said the targets of the sanctions would include high-technology exports to Russia’s defense industry. The full list of targets will be announced by officials in Washington later Monday and are also expected to include wealthy individuals close to Putin, the Russian president.
Democrats hope to draw support WASHINGTON (AP) — Win or lose — and they’ll probably lose — Democrats hope this week’s Senate showdown over raising the federal minimum wage reaps them benefits in November’s congressional elections. Whether they’ll get an Election Day payoff is uncertain. In a Senate vote expected Republicans Wednesday, seem likely to block the Democratic measure, which would gradually raise today’s $7.25 hourly minimum, reaching $10.10 as soon as 2016. Even if the bill, one of President Barack Obama’s top priorities, somehow survives in the Senate, it stands little chance of even getting a vote in the GOP-run House.
Missing plane’s search area to be expanded Australia CANBERRA, (AP) — The underwater hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet will be expanded to include a massive swath of ocean floor that may take up to eight months to thoroughly search, Australia’s prime minister said Monday. The U.S. Navy’s Bluefin 21 robotic submarine has spent weeks scouring the initial search area for Flight 370 in the remote Indian Ocean far off Australia’s west coast, but has found no trace of the missing aircraft, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said. Officials are now looking to bring in new equipment that can search a larger patch of seabed for the plane, Abbott said.
Discrimination potential seen in data WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House review of how the government and private sector use large sets of data has found that such information could be used to against discriminate Americans on issues such as housing and employment even as it makes their lives easier in many ways. “Big data” is everywhere. It allows mapping apps to ping cellphones anonymously and determine, in real time, what roads are the most congested. But it also can be used to target economically vulnerable people. The issue came up during a 90-day review ordered by President Barack Obama, White House counselor John Podesta said in an interview with The Associate Press. Podesta did not discuss all the findings, but said the potential for discrimination is an issue that warrants a closer look.
MINYA, Egypt (AP) — A judge in Egypt on Monday sentenced to death 683 alleged supporters of the country’s ousted Islamist president, including the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, the latest in mass trials that have drawn international condemnation and stunned rights groups. The same judge also upheld the death penalty for 37 of 529 defendants sentenced in a similar case in March, though he commuted the rest of the sentences to life imprisonment. Still, the 37 death sentences — which can be appealed in a higher court — remain an extraordinarily high number for Egypt, compared to the dramatic trial in the wake of the 1981 The Associated Press assassination of President An Egyptian woman holds a photo of her son after a judge sentenced to death 683 alleged supporters of the Anwar Sadat, when only five people were sentenced to country's ousted Islamist president over acts of violence and the murder of policemen in the latest mass trial in the southern city of Minya, Egypt, on Monday. death and executed.

Tornadoes kill 16 in Arkansas, 1 in Oklahoma VILONIA, Ark. (AP) — Emergency officials were for survivors searching Monday in the debris left by a powerful tornado that carved an 80-mile path of destruction through suburban Little Rock, killing at least 16 people.

the U.S. takes no specific position on those disputes, but believes China should resolve disputes with its neighbors the same way the U.S. does — through dialogue. “We don’t go around sending ships and threatening folks,” Obama said. With its anemic military, the Philippines has struggled to bolster its territorial defense amid China’s increasingly assertive behavior in the oil- and gas-rich South China Sea, which Obama flew over on his way here, according to the Air Force One cockpit. Chinese paramilitary ships took effective control of the disputed Scarborough Shoal, a rich fishing ground off the northwestern Philippines, in 2012. Last year, Chinese coast guard ships surrounded another contested offshore South China Sea territory, the Second Thomas Shoal.
Ukraine mayor shot; US announces new sanctions KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — The mayor of Ukraine’s secondlargest city was shot in the back and pro-Russia insurgents seized more government buildings Monday as the U.S hit Russia with more sanctions for allegedly fomenting the unrest in eastern Ukraine. Armed insurgents tacitly backed by Moscow are seeking more autonomy in the region — possibly even independence or annexation with Russia. Ukraine’s acting government and the West have accused Russia of orchestrating the unrest, which they fear Moscow could use as a pretext for an invasion. In a bid to ratchet up the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Barack Obama’s government levied new sanctions on seven Russian officials and 17 companies with links to Putin’s inner circle. The U.S. also revoked licenses for some high-tech items that could be used by the Russian military. In Brussels, the European Union moved Monday to add 15 more officials to its Russian sanctions list to protest Moscow’s meddling in Ukraine. That decision, reached by the ambassadors to the EU’s 28 nations, was being formally confirmed by the EU’s governments and was expected within hours, officials told The Associated Press. Hennady Kernes, the mayor of Kharkiv, was shot in the back Monday morning while cycling on the outskirts of the city and underwent surgery, city hall said. He was reported to be in “grave, but stable” condition. Officials have not commented on who could be behind the attack — and Kernes was a man who could have angered both sides. Kernes was a staunch opponent of the pro-West Maidan movement that topViktor pled President Yanukovych in February and was widely viewed as the organizer who sent activists to Kiev from eastern Ukraine to harass those demonstrators. But he has since softened his stance toward the new Kiev government. At a meeting of eastern Ukrainian leaders and acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk earlier this month, Kernes insisted he does not support the pro-Russia insurgents and backed a united Ukraine. Kharkiv is in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russia gunmen have seized government buildings and police stations, set up roadblocks and staged protests to demand greater autonomy or even annexation by Russia. But unlike the neighboring Donetsk region, Kharkiv has been largely unaffected by the insurgency and Kernes has been credited for this. Its administration building was briefly seized earlier this month but promptly cleared of pro-Russia protesters. Kernes’ friend and former Kharkiv governor, Mykhailo Dobkin, told journalists the attackers were aiming at Kernes’ heart and wanted to kill him in an effort to destabilize the city. “If you want to know my opinion, they were shooting not at Kernes, but at Kharkiv,” he said. Dobkin is among several candidates running in Ukraine’s May 25 presidential election. On Monday, masked militants with automatic weapons seized another city hall building and a police station in eastern Ukraine, this time in Kostyantynivka, 100 miles from the Russian border. The city is 22 miles south of Slovyansk,a major city that has been in the hands of insurgents for more than three weeks. After the seizure, about 15 armed men guarded the city hall building. Some posed for pictures with residents while others distributed St. George’s ribbons, the symbol of the pro-Russia movement. Many in the east have suggested a referendum on autonomy or turning Ukraine into a loose federation. Justice Minister Petro Petrenko said parliament will consider the issue Tuesday, the Interfax news agency reported.

I decided it might be fun to share what I knew with the rest of the community.” He has found that the community often shares right back. That led to a rather fascinating discovery that ties the South Coast to history from the other side of the country. “We have several folks who I refer to as the ‘repeat offenders’ and they come up with some very interesting topics of their own from time to time,” Harman said. “In fact, the Gussie Telfair, the former blockade runner, was brought to my attention by Mr. David Williams, who is a fellow retired teacher and
who is a member of our current class.” The Gussie Telfair story ended when it wrecked near what is now the Charleston Marina back in 1880. Its story started, however, in Scotland as the Gertrude, a blockade runner used during the war between the states. It was then captured by the Union, turned into a blockade ship and renamed the USS Gertrude. After the war it was renamed once more and made its way to the West Coast for its final voyages. Hartman recently took his class to see what is believed to be the last remnants of that vessel. With no battlefields to visit in Oregon, it provides one of the only opportunities for his students to get an upclose look at history. It is finding new ways to look at Civil War history that keeps Hartman coming back with a new set of lessons each term. “To me, the Civil War is like a giant onion that has
layers and layers and layers of interesting people, interesting situations, and the more I study it the more it leads to other interesting people and situations,” he said. “(Things like) generals who were taken prisoner in their underwear in the middle of the night, cavalry raids that were conducted on the back of noisy recalcitrant mules, or blockade runners that end up wrecked in Coos Bay, all kinds of things.” If you would like to sample some of the lessons from that onion, Hartman’s class meets Monday evenings from 7-8:30 p.m. on the Coos Campus. The noncredit class is open to all interested community members and runs through June 12. He will return with a new class for the Fall term as well.

encourage voters to consider a change when they might otherwise just vote for the Democrat. “I think Cover Oregon is an indication of the failure of leadership of our governor,” Richardson said. “He’s good at throwing out big visions and poor in actually ensuring that they become realities.” Kitzhaber’s campaign declined to comment. There has been little reliable public polling to gauge the impact of the Cover Oregon problems on Kitzhaber’s popularity, but he looks to have a much
louder megaphone to defend himself and define Richardson in his own way. Kitzhaber has raised $666,000 for his re-election bid just this year, four times as much as Richardson, and still has $536,000 left to spend. Richardson’s campaign bank account has $131,000, according to campaign finance records. By avoiding a fight for the nomination, Republican Richardson also missed out on a chance to get his name out, said Jim Moore, a political science professor Pacific University in Forest Grove.
were Alaska, Georgia, New Mexico, Oregon and Nevada, which had rates at 70 percent or below. Idaho, Kentucky and Oklahoma were not included because these states received federal permission to take longer to roll out their system. The new calculation method allows researchers to individually follow students and chart progress based on their income level. By doing so, researchers found that some states are doing much
better than others in getting low-income students — or those who receive free or reduced lunch meals — to graduation day. Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kansas, for example, have more than half of all students counted as low income but overall graduation rates that are above average. In contrast, Minnesota, Wyoming and Alaska have a lower percentage of low-income students but a lower than average overall graduation rate.

Beloved former Blazers coach Ramsay dies MIAMI (AP) — Jack Ramsay, a Hall of Fame coach who led the Portland Trail Blazers to the 1977 NBA championship before he became one of the NBA’s most respected broadcasters, has died following a long battle with cancer. He was 89. Ramsay’s death was announced by ESPN, for whom he worked as a broadcaster for many years. “Dr. Jack Ramsay has passed,” ESPN spokesman Chris LaPlaca wrote on Twitter early Monday. “A rare man. Loved and respected by all. Fascinating life well lived. An inspiration to so many.” Ramsay coached in the NBA for parts of 21 seasons before embarking on a second career as an NBA analyst. He was diagnosed with melanoma in 2004 and later battled
growths and tumors that spread to his legs, lungs and brain, then later fought prostate cancer and most recently a marrow syndrome. His affinity for fitness never wavered, though. Ramsay, who competed in at least 20 triathlons during his life, worked out regularly into his 80s, even as he battled the various forms of cancer that he was stricken with. He often spoke of his love of swimming in the Gulf of Mexico near his home in Naples, Fla., or jogging in a pool or from wall to wall in his hotel room when he was traveling on NBA assignments. “He’s probably forgotten more about the game than I know,” Miami Heat coach and president Pat Riley once said of Ramsay, whom he counted as a close friend.
Ramsay also spent several years late in life caring for his wife, Jean, who was diagnosed in 2001 with Alzheimer’s disease. She died in January 2010. Ramsay had enormous popularity within the league, even until the final stages of his life. To commemorate Ramsay’s 89th birthday earlier this year, Portland coach Terry Stotts wore a loud checkered jacket and open-collared shirt for a Blazers’ game — a nod to how Ramsay dressed when he coached the club. “Jack’s life is a beacon which guides us all,” Bill Walton, who was on Ramsay’s 1977 title team in Portland, told USA Today in 2007. “He is our moral compass, our spiritual inspiration. He represents the conquest of substance over hype. He is a true
saint of circumstance.” John T. Ramsay was born Feb. 21, 1925, in Philadelphia and enrolled at Saint Joseph’s in 1942, eventually becoming captain of the basketball team there for his senior season. He earned a doctorate in education from the University of Pennsylvania in 1949, explaining the “Dr. Jack” moniker that most players and fans simply knew him by. Ramsay’s biggest impact on Hawk Hill would be when he started coaching his alma mater in 1955. He was wildly successful there, going 234-72 and taking the Hawks to the NCAA tournament seven times, the Final Four in 1961 and to a No. 1 preseason ranking by Sports Illustrated in 1965.

Chavez wins at big meet THE WORLD Marshfield’s Adryana Chavez stamped herself as one of the top triple jumpers in the state by winning the event in the prestigious Centennial Invitational on Saturday at Gresham. Chavez didn’t quite match her career best, but her leap of 36 feet, 1 10 ⁄4 inches, was good enough to beat a field of 41 other jumpers in the 50th-annual meet. This year, the meet featured 60 schools, including athletes from Marshfield, Siuslaw and Coquille on the South Coast. Marshfield had a generally strong showing. Shaylen Crook was third in the 3,000, with a new personal best of 10 minutes, 19.05 seconds. She also placed 12th in the 1,500 (4:56.87). Marshfield’s 4x100 relay of Isabel Groth, Chavez, Hailee Woolsey and Brittany Cook placed sixth in 50.96 seconds, just off its season best. Meanwhile, Tracee Scott placed eighth in the discus with a throw of 111 feet. Scott also was 14th in the shot put, one spot behind teammate Karissa Irvin. Savannah Thurman was 10th in the discus, while Irvin and McKenzie Allison were 13th and 14th in the javelin. Groth was ninth and Chavez 11th in the high hurdles preliminaries. Cook just missed the finals in both the 100 and 200, placing 12th in each. Marshfield’s boys were led by distance runners Colby Gillett and Sawyer Heckard, though neither placed. Both Pirates had personal bests in the 3,000, with Gillett placing 16th (9:05.63) and Heckard 20th (9:16.28). Gillett also was 12th in the 1,500 (4:13.70). Siuslaw’s Mac Marbas placed sixth in the 3,000 (8:46.23) and teammate Mitchell Butler was 13th (9:01.73). Seth Campbell was 10th in the 800 (1:59.74) for the Vikings.

Portland’s Wesley Matthews (2) celebrates a 3-point shot by Nicolas Batum (88) against Houston during the second half Sunday.
Portland builds 3-1 series lead on Rockets THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND — There was some shouting going on in the Trail Blazers’ locker room after they fell behind by 10 points at halftime to the Rockets. Up 2-1 in their first playoff series since 2011, the Blazers didn’t want to mess up Game 4, especially in front of their hometown fans. “In the words of Chuck — Charles Barkley — we were playing like wussies,” Portland guard Wesley Matthews said. “That was the message to each other.” Whatever was said, the Trail Blazers pulled out of their funk and went on to defeat the Rockets 123-120 in overtime Sunday night to take a 3-1 advantage in the series that moves to Houston on Wednesday. LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 points and 10 rebounds in the first win for the home team in the series, while Nicolas Batum added 25 points. It was the third game in the series decided in overtime. The Blazers haven’t advanced out of the first round since 2000. Portland also hasn’t held a 3-1 advantage in a series since the 2000 Western Conference semifinals against Utah, which the Blazers won 4-1. James Harden had 28 points and Dwight Howard added 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets. “The playoffs are a grind,” Houston coach Kevin McHale said. “It’s a different game than the regular season. You’ve got to be built for the grind.”
Portland trailed by as many as 11 points, but rallied in the fourth quarter. Mo Williams’ 3pointer put the Blazers in front 105-104 with 18.9 seconds left. Dorell Wright missed the first of two free throws, making it 106-104 with 8.3 seconds to go. Howard dunked off a feed from Harden with 3.6 seconds left to tie it and Williams missed a 3 at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. Chandler Parsons was hit with a flagrant foul on Aldridge, who made both free throws to give the Blazers the lead to start off OT. Batum scooped up a layup before adding a 3-pointer and Damian Lillard made a layup to put Portland ahead 117-110. Houston rookie Troy Daniels nailed a 3 and Harden landed a jumper to narrow it to 119-117, but Lillard made free throws to extend the lead to four points with 17 seconds left. Aldridge missed a pair of free throws and Daniels was fouled by Wright on a 3-point attempt and made all three shots to narrow it to 121-120 with 8.9 seconds left. After a Portland timeout, Mo Williams made free throws for the final margin. “It was tough,” Aldridge said. “I thought it was a gut-check by everybody. I thought our guys took on the challenge.” Aldridge opened Portland’s return to the playoffs with a franchise postseason-best 46 points in the Blazers’ 122-120 overtime victory in Game 1, then followed it up with 43 points in the 112-105 win. The Rockets won the third, 121-116 in overtime on Friday night at the Moda Center.
McHale again started Omer Asik in place of Terrence Jones. Asik had success against Aldridge in Game 3, helping to hold Portland’s All-Star to 23 points. The two teams played closely for most of the first quarter, but the Rockets took a 29-22 lead after an 11-4 run highlighted by two straight 3pointers from Daniels. Daniels, who spent time in the D-League this season and only made his NBA debut on March 5, was the unlikely hero of Game 3 when he drained a 3 with 11.9 seconds to go in OT that proved to be the winner. Houston led 61-51 at the half, led by Parsons with 19 points. The Rockets maintained the lead through the third quarter and Harden’s jumper from the top of the key stretched it to 92-84 with 8:31 left. Portland got within 94-91 on Batum’s layup with 6:35 left. Lillard’s 3-pointer tied it at 94, but Harden answered with his 3 for the Rockets. Aldridge made a layup to put Portland up 102-97, but Howard made three of four free throws to narrow it before making two big blocks. Harden hit free throws to tie it at 102 with 1:11 left. Aldridge missed a layup and Harden hit another two foul shots to give the Rockets back the lead. Parsons finished with 26 points for the Rockets. “Everything you do is magnified and all the little things that we’re not doing cost you ... and we’re down 1-3 because of it,” Parsons said.
Titans sweep Lakers
Beavers cap sweep with 12-1 victory
THE WORLD
BY STEVE GRESS Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — Michael Conforto set the tone by belting the first pitch he saw for a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning. His teammates followed his lead and the No. 5 Oregon State baseball team completed a threegame sweep of rival and No. 19 Oregon on Sunday with a 7-1 Pac12 victory before a Goss Stadium crowd of 3,122. “Runs are hard to come by in this series so it was a nice start to the game and it got the guys pumped up and ready to get after them,” Conforto said of his fourth homer of the season. The Beavers (31-8, 14-4) have now won eight of the last nine Pac-12 games against the Ducks (31-13, 10-8) and swept them for the third straight time in Corvallis. Oregon has not won a conference game at Goss since the program was reinstated in 2009. “Any time you sweep in this conference you have to feel really

Oregon catcher Jack Kruger sweeps his glove back to try to tag Oregon State’s Michael Howard as Howard crosses home plate during Sunday’s game. good about it and sweeping a team right at the top, I’m proud of the guys,” coach Pat Casey said. “I thought they performed well and played good baseball.” The Beavers gave Casey his 700th career win with their 4-2 victory over the Ducks on Saturday, rallying with four runs in the eighth inning. They continued the momentum in the series finale Sunday. Jace Fry took the early run support and set a career-high with 11 strikeouts. The junior lefty gave up just one hit and one unearned run in eight innings to improve to 8-1. He mixed in a slider and chanegup with his fastball.
“Obviously I threw how I wanted to but there were still some hit batsmen (two) and walks (three) I wish I could take back,” he said. “But other than that I thought I was pretty sharp today.” Off to the quick start, the Beavers continued to put pressure on as they used a hit, two walks and two hit batters to plate three runs in the second. Fry gave up just one hit, to No. 2 batter Austin Grebeck, in the first inning. The Beavers head to California to take on the Golden Bears in a three-game Pac-12 series while Oregon is home against Arizona beginning Friday.
EUGENE — Lane knocked the Southwestern Oregon Community College baseball team out of first place in the NWAACC South Region by sweeping the Lakers in a doubleheader at Eugene on Saturday. Lane won the opener 2-1 and the nightcap 13-6 to slip ahead of the Lakers in the standings. Lane is 12-6 and SWOCC is 12-7. Clark, which split with Clackamas, is 137 heading into a big doubleheader with the Lakers at Coos Bay this coming Friday. Lane scored both its runs in the opener in the second inning, including one on an RBI double by Colby Rice. The Lakers got theirs in the sixth on an RBI single by Cedric Zumwalt, who brought in Taylor Raff. Zumwalt had two of the Lakers’ seven hits. Ryan Phillips was the hardluck loser, allowing seven hits and striking out four while pitching a complete game. “Game 1 was a good game,” SWOCC coach Jason Cooper said. “Riley pitched really well for us. We just couldn’t get anything going offensively. “Game 2 was a struggle
because we didn’t have much command of the strike zone, which puts extra pressure on our hitters to score a lot of runs.” The Lakers had a 6-4 lead in the nightcap before Lane scored two runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings and three more in the sixth. “We had the lead a couple times through the first few innings, but a couple of mental mistakes kept us from keeping the momentum in the game and Lane did a good job of taking advantage of those situations,” Cooper said. Zumwalt had two runs for the Lakers and Brandon Farley had two hits, drove in one run and scored another. With only two teams advancing to the NWAACC tournament, the Lakers now need to regain the momentum when Clark comes to town. “I definitely think we can and will bounce back,” Cooper said. “I believe in our guys and they believe in each other. “Every team gets tested and that’s where we are right now.” The Lakers follow their games against Clark with a home doubleheader against Clackamas on Saturday.

Gaston Fernandez had a first-half goal for Portland (0-3-5). Bruin gave Houston (2-42) the lead, finding space in front of the goal and heading home a cross from Brad Davis. The Dynamo are winless in their last six games. Fernandez tied it in the 33rd minute. He took advantage of a fortunate deflection off Davis and tucked a firsttouch shot into the upper corner.

NBA faces Sterling scandal
From Page B1
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS To Ramsay, the most significant part of the Saint Joseph’s years was this: “I met my wife there,” he said. He was a founding father of sorts for the growth of “Big 5” basketball, which is what the annual series between Philadelphia-area schools Saint Joseph’s, La Salle, Penn, Villanova and Temple was dubbed. “I felt a lot of personal pride and interest in the outcome of those games,” Ramsay told the AP in 2004. “There wasn’t as much interest in conference play. There wasn’t the impact of a national championship or conference championships like there is today. The Big 5 was clearly the biggest thing any of those schools were involved in at that point.” Ramsay took over as coach of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1968, moved on to the Buffalo Braves in 1972 and took his craft to Portland in 1976 — where he took a team with stars like Walton and Maurice Lucas and delivered an NBA championship in his first season, beating the 76ers in six

Indeed, that was his lone NBA title. Walton got hurt the next year, crippling Portland’s chances of getting back to championship form during that era. Ramsay coached the Blazers for nine more seasons without another trip to the finals, and spent the final three years of his NBA sideline career in Indiana — resigning from the Pacers in November 1988 after the team got off to an 07 start.
Ramsay was 864-783 in his NBA career, being named one of the league’s Top 10 alltime coaches in 1996. When he left the Pacers, Ramsay carefully did not use the word “retire,” and began working as a television analyst on 76ers games. Eventually, he worked on Heat television broadcasts for eight seasons before moving full-time to ESPN for radio and TV commentating before the 2000-01 season. “So grateful that his path crossed ours,” his former Heat broadcast partner Eric Reid wrote on Twitter early Monday. “Hall of Fame coach and man.”
The Los Angeles Clippers have today off. Adam Silver likely won’t get that same luxury. Facing the first real crisis of his short tenure as NBA commissioner, Silver is under pressure to swiftly bring some sort of resolution to the scandal surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling and the racially charged comments he allegedly made in a recorded conversation, portions of which were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin. The matter will not go away anytime soon, but the players’ association is hoping Silver rules before the Clippers play host to Golden State in a critical Game 5 of their knotted-up Western Conference first-round series on Tuesday night. That means plenty of eyeballs will remain on the commissioner’s office Monday, waiting to see if any word is coming. “This situation is a massive distraction for the league right now,” said Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, the
former NBA All-Star who is serving as an adviser to the National Basketball Players Association while the Sterling matter plays out. “It must be addressed immediately.” Silver’s first priority is verifying Sterling’s voice is on the recording. From there, Silver’s next move remains unclear. He works for the owners — and so far that group seems to have no sympathy for Sterling’s latest controversy. Among those who have spoken out publicly to condemn the alleged Sterling remarks: Washington’s Ted Leonsis, Miami’s Micky Arison and perhaps most notably, Charlotte’s Michael Jordan, who won six NBA titles as a player. “I’m obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views,” Jordan said in a statement released Sunday. “I’m confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly.” Silver started as commissioner Feb. 1, replacing the retired David Stern. Silver
met with Kevin Johnson on Sunday and heard five things that the players’ union wants from the commissioner, that list includes: ■ Sterling doesn’t attend any NBA games for the rest of the playoffs because of the “enormous distraction.” ■ A full account of past allegations of discrimination by Sterling and why the league never sanctioned him. ■ An explanation of the range of penalties the league could bring against Sterling. ■ Assurance the NBA and the union will be partners in the investigation. ■ A decisive ruling. “He’s got to come down hard,” Hall of Fame player Magic Johnson, who was referenced on the audio recording, said Sunday on ABC. The NBA constitution is not public, though it’s understood the commissioner’s powers are broad when it comes to dealing with matters deemed “prejudicial or detrimental to the best interests of basketball.” A fine, a suspension, a demand for sensitivity training, all those and more are surely at Silver’s disposal.

Sports Tempers flare up after NASCAR race
The Associated Press
Ryan Hunter-Reay kicks up cloud water spay as he leads a pack of cars down the backstrech during the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on Sunday.
Hunter-Reay coasts to rainy victory BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Ryan Hunter-Reay deftly guided his car around the rain-soaked track, stayed out of trouble and wound up with a much happier ending. Hunter-Reay coasted to his second straight victory at Barber Motorsports Park on Sunday when the rain-shortened IndyCar race finished under caution, with Andretti Autosport teammate Marco Andretti behind him. The win came two weeks after Hunter-Reay touched off what turned into a seven-car pileup with an illtimed attempt to pass Josef Newgarden at Long Beach to end what had been a dominating performance. “The week after Long Beach was a pretty long one,” Hunter-Reay said. “It was one where I just wanted to get back in a racecar as soon as I could. “We knew it would be tough here. When it came to race time, I had the car in the wet, I had the car in the dry. They gave me exactly what I needed. I knew it was going to be close to make it all work out because it was so easy to make a mistake today. Just thrilled. This victory feels real good.” A full-course caution came out for the final seven minutes of the timed race after rookie Mikhail Aleshin lost control and went off the track. That left Hunter-Reay unchallenged. Scott Dixon was third, followed by Simon Pagenaud and pole-sitter Will Power, a two-time winner at Barber
who had a slight but costly misjudgment on a slippery track in the tight Turn 5. “He was out there cutting the grass,” Hunter-Reay said. “I had to take advantage of that. It was so easy to do that today. I almost lost this race three times.” There was some slipping and sliding, especially in the minutes after the field switched from the wet tires with several drivers leaving the track. He passed Power on lap 16 when the Australian left the track and skirted by the tire barrier before pulling back on. “I kept creeping my braking point a little bit further and further, and I went too far,” Power said. “It’s tough to not push past the limits with wet patches everywhere. We really didn’t have the pace in the dry anyway, but that sure didn’t help our cause when I went off course.” The turn is called “Charlotte’s Web” because of a huge spider sculpture stationed there. “I almost threw it away three or four times there myself,” Hunter-Reay said. “It was just tiptoeing around. It was a very fine line between getting it all right or getting it all wrong. “Any guy that’s been in an IndyCar on the Web will tell you that’s how it is. You’ve got to go up the risk side to the get the reward out of it, but it’s really easy to throw it all away.” It’s the 12th career win for Hunter-
Reay, who was alone up front during the caution until Andretti pulled even at the finish line to savor the moment with his teammate. He led three times for a total of 40 laps. “They’ve given us great cars here, and a second win in a row for Ryan is awesome,” said Andretti, whose radio worked only sporadically down the stretch. Dixon said running a time race was “kind of annoying” and Andretti said it removed some strategy from the formula. They wound up going 69 laps, and Hunter-Reay was up front for the final time starting on No. 52. “The race should be the full distance,” Dixon said. “To have to shorten these races for TV, you know, I understand the difficult predicament that everybody is in, but these are championship races. They all pay the same amount of points. “You decide to take 30 laps off them ... I think it changes strategy a lot and you’re constantly chasing that window. Then ultimately you finish on a caution, too, which is also a bit of a bummer for the fans. In the future, hopefully we can find a way around that.” Drivers were focused on handling the track conditions, not payback from any lingering anger over Long Beach clashes. It ended badly for Aleshin, who walked back to pit road while the rest of the field finished.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — From perfect weather and a big crowd to a classic shorttrack finish and the fisticuffs afterward, NASCAR hardly could have asked for more from its first visit to Richmond International Raceway. Joey Logano emerged as the big winner by deftly taking advantage of a three-way duel of former champions Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski, sneaking by them for his second victory. When it was over, what happened in the three-way battle left Keselowski talking as if he had moved Kenseth to the top of his list, and Marcos Ambrose didn’t even bother making a list. He responded instead to a shove from Casey Mears with a punch in the face that was captured on video. Then there was Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose father all but perfected the beating and banging style that has made short-track racing so popular, dismissing all the fried emotions with a glib, “Get over it.” It was all plenty to keep racing fans talking for days. “We’re looking at the video,” NASCAR’s vice president of competition Robin Pemberton told reporters afterward of the punch. “It doesn’t seem to be much. We’ll take a look Monday and Tuesday.” Forgive Logano if he watches the ending a few times more himself. He started fourth on the restart with nine laps to go, his outside position a distinct disadvantage, as evidenced by the duel emerging between the drivers who started first, third and fifth. Logano’s Team Penske teammate Keselowski seemed to have the fastest car, but with Kenseth doing all he could to fend off both Keselowski and Gordon, an inside lane opened up, and Logano was more than happy to make his move. His outlook on the task at hand once the last green flag dropped suggests that after tinkering with cars and formats and the value of win-
ning races, NASCAR is onto something that resonates with fans and drivers alike with its new format. “Obviously I was able to see that in front of me and wanted to make sure I was close enough when something happened I was able to take advantage of it, and that’s what I was able to do,” Logano said. “Restarts, anything, it comes down to the end of the race. Patience is out the window. It’s all about just go for it. I think that’s what the fans want. That’s what you’ve got this year. “You’ve got the new point system where everyone just goes for wins and you’ve got late race cautions, and everyone has the same attitudes. Everyone is, ‘The heck with it. If we crash, we crash. We’re going for wins.”’ Keselowski, who said Kenseth “ran me off the track,” admitted that he retaliated by giving Kenseth a nudge that helped Logano go on to victory, and pledged to remember the finish for future reference. Kenseth and Gordon, who finished second, both defended Kenseth’s tactics, with Gordon expressing his disappointment at not winning after leading a race-best 173 laps, but invigorated by how it played out. “I had a blast tonight,” he said. Signs of the wild ending may have come very early. Clint Bowyer started third and hoped a return to one of his best tracks would allow him to put last September behind him. That was when Bowyer’s intentional spin late in the last race before the playoffs jumbled the finishing order, and the drivers who made the Chase, leading to a NASCAR investigation. Instead of a clean run, Bowyer hit rookie pole-sitter Kyle Larson on the opening lap, sending Larson spinning. He also twice pitted under a green flag, right before a caution flag came out, and an enigine fire ultimately caused him to park for the night.

Pursuant to O.R.S. 86.705 et seq. NOTICE TO BORROWER: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE UNDERSIGNED IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND THAT ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Reference is made to that certain Deed of Trust made by, Brett W. Barkley and Rachel Bell, not as tenants in common, but with rights or survivorship, as grantor, to Ticor Title Insurance Company, as Trustee, in favor of George Lyons, Trustee of the George E. Lyons Revocable Living Trust, as beneficiary, dated 9/20/2013, recorded 9/27/2013, under Instrument No. 2013-9484, records of Coos County, Oregon. Said Trust Deed encumbers the following described real property situated in said county and
BRIDGE Partner opens, say, one heart, the next player passes, and you respond two spades. What are you showing? There are typically two answers to that question: a weak or strong hand. A weak jump shift shows a sixcard suit and some 4-8 high-card points. But this week, let’s look at the strong variety. In the old days, a strong jump shift promised 17-19 points. However, it is much better to use a 13-16-point
range: sufficient to insist on game, but then wanting partner to decide whether to go higher. (More on why tomorrow.) The responder has one of two hand-types: an excellent one-suiter with six or more cards in his suit, or a good two-suiter with five or six cards in his own suit and four or five in partner’s suit. With the two-suiter, he rebids in partner’s suit. With the onesuiter, responder does something else, usually rebidding in his suit or in no-trump. In this deal, South learns all about his partner’s hand and should have no trouble settling into seven no-trump. After West leads the diamond queen, how should declarer play? South can count 14(!) tricks via five spades, five hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. The only danger is a 4-0 spade break. But declarer can avoid a loser whatever the position as long as he starts with dummy’s ace (or king). This keeps one high honor in each hand to capture an opponent’s lower honor (the jack). South can finesse either way to stop that jack from taking a trick.
