SCCF plan is falling into place

Working on the railroad (museum)

North Bend is scheduled to reauthorize its membership tonight ■

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — South Coast Community Foundation’s board of directors isn’t quite set in stone — but the three chosen to set the idea in motion are itching to get to work.

So far, three of the four Bay Area Enterprise Zone sponsors (the cities of Coos Bay, North Bend and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay) have approved their SCCF membership, ratified the bylaws and approved Bill Lansing, John Whitty and Joanne Verger as the initial directors.

The North Bend City Council will reauthorize its SCCF membership, the bylaws and the three directors at its 7:30 p.m. Tuesday meeting. North Bend City Administrator Terence O’Connor previously said the council could also appoint its SCCF director and city representative at the meeting.

The Coos Bay City Council approved the city’s membership in SCCF last week. Councilor Jennifer Groth said the council might appoint its SCCF director and the city’s representative at its May 20 meeting.

Port commissioners are postponing this week’s meeting until May 22.

They have also already rubberstamped the Port’s SCCF membership, but they plan to appoint the Port’s director and representative at next week’s meeting.

The county commissioners have been hit with criticism following their recent vote on the matter.

Commissioners Melissa Cribbins and John Sweet met during a work session May 2 and approved the county’s SCCF membership, updated bylaws, the three initial directors, and appointed Sweet as the county’s representative. Commissioner Bob Main was not present.

Cribbins later said votes taken during work sessions require ratification at the next regular board meeting.

While the commissioners met in a regular meeting May 6 (when only Cribbins and Main were present), they did not ratify the vote. Instead, she said ratification could take place at the May 20 board meeting, when only she and Sweet will be present.

“Unfortunately, one of the commissioners was not at the work session,” Sweet said at Monday’s Community Enhancement Plan work group meeting. “Even though it had

Hundreds passed through the gates of the Oregon Coast Historical Railway museum for Amtrak National Train Day on May 10. Museum officials say they are hoping to encourage more people to become members and/or volunteer to keep things rolling at the site. Organizers say they hope to one day have train rides for the event.

Volunteers, members needed to keep Oregon Coast Historical Railway chugging along

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

COOS BAY — You don’t have to be a “railroader” to work on the railway museum in Coos Bay. You don’t even need to have a love of trains, but it helps.

Established in 1982 as a nonprofit organization, the Oregon C o a s t Historical Railway is See video for this story a group online at theworldlink.com/video dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the historical railway and logging equipment of Oregon’s South Coast. They have also been dedicated to getting their dreams accomplished while operating on a shoestring budget.

More than 10 years ago, that determination led them to their current location along U.S. Highway 101 near downtown Coos Bay. They are hoping it will also help them take the next step.

“We are on no budget-low budget,” says Dick Jamsgard, one of the longtime members of the historical railway. “We are

all nonprofit and all volunteer.

We’re trying to do the best we can.”

Hundreds of people seemed to enjoy their “best,” as train fans new and old passed through the museum gates last weekend during the Fourth annual Amtrak National Train Day event.

People rang train bells and

climbed aboard cabooses with interactive media on board, but railway officials hope to one day have moving trains for the event. Achieving that dream, Jamsgard said Saturday, will take growth and more volunteer help.

“We are trying to get equipment running,” he said. “That’s a big item. We need more mechanics and more help for restoration.”

There are also an abundance of restoration projects that need attending to, with a handful already underway.

“We’re constantly doing a restoration project, probably four or five things are going on at the current time,” he said. “(We are working on) the steam train that worked from Myrtle Point to Powers, the cabooses SEE RAILWAY | A8

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — A Nigerian government official said “all options are open” in efforts to rescue almost 300 abducted schoolgirls from their captors as U.S. reconnaissance aircraft started flying over this West African country in a search effort.

The Treasury Department said Monday that April’s surplus totaled $106.9 billion, down slightly from last April’s $112.9 billion surplus. The government typically runs a surplus during April, when individual tax returns

Floral displays at Hinsdale Garden

Police Log COOS BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT

By Thomas Moriarty, The World

A Bureau of Land Management ranger walks past rows of rhododendron plants Saturday afternoon at the O. Howard Hinsdale Woodland Garden near Reedsport.

The gardens, part of an estate once owned by the Hinsdale family across state Highway 38 from the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, are only open for a select number of weekends this year. The federal agency and a group called Friends of Hinsdale Garden are working on converting the property into a recreational dayuse area.

Pursuit ends in arrest Bend woman had evaded Coquille officers THE WORLD SCOTTSBURG — A late night car chase Sunday night along state Highway 38 ended

with a one woman in custody and two cases resolved.

According to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the 23-year-old driver crashed

her stolen car near milepost 16 just after 10:30 p.m.

Sheriff’s deputies spotted the 2008 silver Honda Accord heading eastbound just moments earlier, and recognized it as being the same vehicle that Coquille police had pursued earlier in the day.

The vehicle allegedly fled when deputies attempted to stop it, continuing east for about 5 miles until it missed a corner turn and crashed near Weatherly Creek.

Sarah Jane Hulgan, the only occupant of the vehicle, had to be extricated from the car. She was uninjured.

Hulgan was arrested on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, attempt to elude, possession of a stolen vehicle, reckless driving, first-degree criminal mischief and driving while suspended.

Paid for by the committee to re-elect Melissa Cribbins.

Report: Testing useful if used to support learning

BY SERGIO CISNEROS Oregon Public Broadcasting A new national report released Monday found that students, teachers and administrators believe that testing is useful if it’s used to support learning.

Northwest Evaluation Association is a Portland-based educational nonprofit that conducted the national survey. It found that the majority of student participants believe “tests are important for understanding what they are learning.”

“We ought to downplay what the results are and what its importance is,” state Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton said. “And we ought to play-up the importance of using assessment in a really smart way in the classroom to inform instruction and to improve the craft of the teacher.”

He said student assessments are important, but aren’t everything.

Last week, members of the Oregon Education Association took a stand against new standardized tests that Oregon schools are rolling out.

The teachers’ union is demanding a moratorium on the “Smarter Balanced Assessment.”

Starting next school year, Oregon schools will switch to the new assessments that focus on students’ reading, math and writing skills.

The visitor industry — an essential role Our view The visitor industry on the South Coast helps to keep our economy diversified.

What do you think?

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

On the heels of National Tourism Week, we visited last week with Scott West and Linea Gagliano of Travel Oregon. They were passing through Coos County to share information about how the industry fared last year and what to expect this season.

This spring, Travel Oregon kicked off a new promotion campaign, designating seven of the state’s regions as the Seven Wonders of Oregon.

Lucky for us — the Oregon coast is one of those wonders. (The others are Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, the Painted Hills, Smith Rock, the Wallowas

and Crater Lake.)

Tourism continues to grow across the state and here on the South Coast. In terms of overall spending, visitors shelled out $9.6 billion last year, an increase of 4.1 percent (3.6 percent adjusted for inflation).

That’s the fourth consecutive year of growth. That meant more jobs, too — 93,900, up by 2.9 percent.

On the South Coast, spending totaled $363 million, a 5.2 percent increase above last year. Total jobs increased by only about 0.3 percent, to 4,730. But the earnings jumped significantly, from $97 million in 2012 to $103 million last

year, a 5.5 percent increase.

To further promote our region, the Coos Bay-North Bend Visitor and Convention Bureau this year, for the first time, will host the Oregon Visitor Information Training Conference next week. This event gathers people in the Oregon travel industry who deal directly with visitors — information center workers and hotel concierges.

Convention bureau director Katherine Hoppe has a full itinerary planned that will show off the South Coast to these professionals.

Hopefully, they’ll pass along their favorable impressions of our home to visitors in

their regions.

We sometimes tend to dismiss the visitor and travel industry as being a lesser part of our economic and employment base. That’s old-world thinking. Truth is, the visitor industry is a strong contributor to an overall healthy economy.

And the income figures suggest that wages are growing in this industry. And these jobs provide entry-level employment to those entering the workforce, as well as second incomes for families.

Diversity — that’s the key to a robust economy. We need to remember that and nurture growth in a variety of industries, not just one.

Americans need to be free to fail Did you know that I started Facebook?

Really! Well, sort of ...

When I was in college at all-male Princeton, I tried to make money by adding photos to a snarky guide to neighboring girls’ schools. The guide had been a profitable publishing success, and my idea was simply to add the girls’ pictures. Schools like Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, etc., already published those pictures, so all I had to do was get permission from administrators at those schools.

Surprisingly, they gave it to me.

Unfortunately for me and my “Face Book,” there was no Internet then. So I don’t own a company worth $180 billion. The book, “Who the Girls Are,” was a flop. Oh, well.

I’ve started other businesses since then — and they didn’t succeed either.

But that ability to try to succeed is a reason America has been successful. In the USA, it’s OK to fail and fail and try again. In most of Europe and much of the world, the attitude is: You had your shot, you failed, and now you should just go work for someone else.

But this limits the posJOHN sibilities. And some of STOSSEL America’s biggest successes came from people Columnist who failed often.

We know that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but few people know that Edison filed 1,000 patents for ideas that went nowhere. He was fired by the telegraph office. He lost money investing in a cement company and an iron business.

Henry Ford’s first company failed completely. Dr. Seuss’s first book was rejected by 27 publishers. Oprah was fired from her first job as a reporter. A TV station called her “unfit for TV.” But they all kept striving — and succeeded. They were lucky to live in America, where investors and your neighbors encourage you to try and try again. We are lucky to benefit from their persistence.

But those happy experiments are less likely to happen today. Now there are many more rules, and regulators add hundreds of pages of new ones every week.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban left school with no money and no job prospects.

He managed to become a billionaire by creating several businesses from scratch. I asked him if he could do it again today, and he said, “No ... now there’s so much paperwork and regulation, so many things that you have to sign up for that you have a better chance of getting in trouble than you do of being successful.”

That’s tragic.

It’s not just big corporations that get hassled by regulators, the way progressives might like to imagine.

Kids’lemonade stands — and one I tried to open in New York City — are sometimes shut down for not having proper business licenses. When Chloe Stirling was 11 years old, health officials shut down her home cupcake-making business.

The more government “protects” us, the more it puts obstacles in the way of trying new things. It does that every time it taxes, regulates and standardizes the way things are done. Simultaneously, government offers “compassion”— welfare and unemployment benefits.

Faced with the choice of collecting unemployment or putting your own money at risk and hiring an army of lawyers to deal with business regulations, I understand why people don’t bother trying.When that attitude is pervasive, the American dream dies.

On my TV show last week, economist David Goldman said, “The U.S. government has done everything possible to make it hard for people to take a new idea from inception to startup to expansion.” He says that when he told a former CEO that he was going to be on my show, the ex-CEO said: “Just tell them to shut Washington down. That’s all they need to do!”

Washington won’t shut down. But couldn’t regulators just chill out for a while?

Letters to the Editor Kudlac deserves your support

Bylaw wording causes concern

I am recommending that we all get out and cast our votes for Shala McKenzie Kudlac for the position of Circuit Court judge (15th District, Position 6). I have known Shala for many years — not only does she have the requisite expertise to serve our community, she will bring a common sense, fresh perspective to our legal system. We owe it to ourselves to get the best and brightest into this position!

Last month, I wrote a letter to The World expressing my concern about a clause in the April 4 discussion draft of the restated bylaws of the South Coast Community Foundation. The clause is on Page 8, Section 5, General Provisions,and reads: “5.1 Amendment of Bylaws 5.1.1 Only the Members may amend or repeal these bylaws or adopt new bylaws by majority vote.”

This seems to give all power to change the document exclusively to the members, with no oversight by the public or any other body.

Could not the members decide to change the bylaws to their wishes, for example, voting themselves generous compensation for their work,or changing the terms of the distribution of funds?

I received word from The World that in more recent drafts of the restated bylaws, changes have been made to this clause, and was directed to the Port of Coos Bay website to view these documents.

Today, in searching the Port’s website, I found two discussion drafts of the restated bylaws, Draft “A”and Draft “B”,both dated April 24.

In examining these drafts, I found exactly the same wording as in the April 4 discussion draft.

Discussion draft “A” of the restated bylaws states, on Page 8, Section 6, General Provisions: “6.1 Amendment of Bylaws 6.1.1 Only the Members may amend or repeal these bylaws or adopt new bylaws by majority vote.”

Discussion draft “B” of the restated bylaws states, on Page 10, Section 6, General Provisions “6.1 Amendment of Bylaws 6.1.1 Only the Members may amend or repeal these bylaws or adopt new bylaws by majority vote.”

Am I the only one troubled by this wording and its implications?

Give your vote to retain Beaman I have known Cynthia Beaman for approximately 10 years and have worked with her in numerous community endeavors over that time.

Cynthia and I have served together on the Kalmiopsis and Azalea parent teacher organizations, the Brookings Harbor Soccer League board and the Brookings Youth Athletic Basketball board. Cynthia has dedicated countless hours to support our local youth activities.

She's passionate about providing children with opportunities that she feels will impact them in a positive manner, understands the importance of education and is focused on improving the lives of our local youth.

Judge Beaman brings school children into the courtroom to educate them on how our system of government works, specifically with regard to the judicial system.

I have personally watched her explain to the children how our government, law enforcement agencies and judicial system work together.

Judge Beaman cares for our community. I know her to be an intelligent woman who uses her strengths to impact those around her in a positive way. She works diligently at her job as a judge but also in her capacity as a mother and community advocate. Judge Beaman shows daily through her volunteer work that investing in the lives of the youth of our area will only strengthen our entire community for the future.

If you want a judge who strives to positively impact our community, then you should vote for Cynthia Beaman.

Cross as symbol of remembrance What is the meaning of a cross?

When I was a young child I attended a Baptist church, then later I was baptized by a Methodist minister, after that I attended a community church.

One of my grandmothers was Pentecostal and the other one attended the community church, while other family members chose other religions of their choosing.

Never has anyone ever said to me that the cross was a symbol of their religion.

The cross has only had one meaning to me; death and remembrance. This significance has been shown in history, in wars of all kinds, in all ages of time. The sword stuck in the ground, or the placing of it on the body, which looks like a cross. Then there is the wooden symbol made of branches or other wooden items on the site, where our pioneers died crossing our country in hopes for a better life. I never read or heard that these placing of symbols were for religious beliefs but were placed there to mark a death, and remembrance of that death. A reminder that life had been lost for so many reasons, and each different. Yes, Jesus died on a cross, but a cross still signifies death and remembrance and not religion.

Please judges, view this as it is, a symbol of death and remembrance and not a symbol of religion.

Use LNG fees to fix city’s sewers Coos Bay sewage plant upgrade options: general obligation bonds, property tax increases, revenue bonds, higher sewer fees.

The nuts and bolts of the deal.

Currently cannot raise taxes in the city without an election to do so, such as for the fire department.

City of Coos Bay-Bond Oct. 6, 2001.

Sewer fees have and are currently being raised, but much higher fees wanted.

Council can raise fees,until citizens bleed. Not popular. Can only raise property taxes if you agree in a vote. The caveat, if the council can present a city charter change to the voters, and they vote yes, could give the council freedom and undue authority to obligate citizens, implement taxes, look out, not popular.

Other popular solutions. 1.

Community Enhancement Plan, CEP. The monies going to the South Coast Community Foundation, SCCF, first is spent on all the sewer plant upgrades in Coos County. This money is a yearly payment by Jordan Cove in lieu of taxes to the county over the next 20 years.

The other one quarter, of the total amount, going to the Bayfront Investment Corp., also be used for sewer plant upgrades

in the county. Plenty of upgrade money.

Solution 2. Dismantle the Coos Bay Urban Renewal districts one and two. Pay the bonds off, close and de-fund any operations or departments paid for from Urban Renewal funds.

From that closure there will be tax money for sewer plant upgrades and other citizen essential services.

Shellfish safety questioned We urge the ODA and the ODFW to adopt a more conservative alert limit than the current limit of 20 ppm recommended by the FDA to issue shellfish alerts for domoic acid. We recommend issuing a shellfish alert when the level of domoic acid rises above the level of 5 ppm, until the difference between the FDA level and the study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) are resolved. After all, public safety is the issue here.

The reasons for concern appearing in the Scientific Daily opinioned, “The research indicates that the toxin damages kidneys at concentrations that are 100 times lower than what causes neurological effects. The potential renal toxicity may require consideration when determining safe levels for human exposure.”

The comments expressed in the Scientific Daily are based from the study “Characterization of Renal Toxicity in Mice Administered the Marine Biotoxin Domoic Acid,” authored by Jason A. Funk, Michael G. Janech, Joshua C. Dillon, John J. Bissler, Brian J. Siroky and P. Darwin Bell, Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, S.C.; Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and Ralph H.

State Register for sex offenders covers a gamut of offenses

Man admits trying to bomb prosecutor’s office MEDFORD (AP) — A man pleaded guilty Monday to trying to blow up the prosecutor’s office to delay being sentenced in a burglary case, making him eligible for five times the amount of prison time he had been facing.

Alan Leroy McVay entered the guilty plea in U.S. District Court in Medford to one count of malicious destruction of property by explosion.

He had been facing three years in state prison on the burglary charge but now could get 15 years in federal prison under the plea agreement.

In the plea agreement, McVay admitted taping a pipe bomb to a propane tank last November and throwing it at a window of the

Jackson County District Attorney’s Office in Medford. The bomb never got through the window, and the propane did not explode. Firefighters found the tank burning on the ground outside.

The prosecution and defense agreed to a recommended sentence of 15 years in prison. Magistrate Judge Mark Clarke set sentencing for Aug. 18.

Defense attorney Bryan Butler did not comment in court about the agreement, and McVay made no statements, other than procedural ones related to his plea.

Deputy District Attorney David Hoppe, whose office took the brunt of the blast, said outside the courtroom that investigators at the time

thought the blast may have been tied to a murder case he was prosecuting, “but it turned out to be completely random.”

Because of those concerns, he pulled his two children from school and arranged protection for his wife, but he continued going to work.

Later, when one of his children came to the office, he noticed that material from the blast was sticking into a poster his son had made for his father.

“He saw that and put it together and he was scared,” Hoppe said. “It robbed the peace of mind from a lot of people in the district attorney’s office.”

Inside the office, damage was limited primarily to the broken win-

dow and a broken computer monitor, Hoppe said.

In the plea agreement, McVay admitted that the purpose of making the bomb was to destroy the district attorney’s office because he wanted to delay his sentencing in the burglary case, which was scheduled for the next day.

Hoppe said that even if the office and everything in it had been destroyed, all the records are kept digitally and the case against McVay could have been reconstructed.

McVay also agreed to plead guilty to burglary and firearms charges from his older case, and the prosecution recommends that sentence be served concurrently with the federal sentence.

Wandering Oregon wolf may have found a mate MEDFORD (AP) — Oregon’s famous wandering gray wolf, dubbed OR-7, may have found the mate he has trekked thousands of miles looking for, wildlife authorities said Monday. It’s likely the pair spawned pups, and if confirmed, the rare predators would be the first breeding pair of wolves in the Oregon’s Cascade Range since the early 1900s.

Officials said cameras in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in the southern Cascades captured several images of what appears to be a female wolf in the same area where OR-7’s GPS collar shows he has been living.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist John Stephenson said it is not proof, but it is likely the two wolves mated over the winter and are rearing pups that would have been born in April. Biologists won’t start looking for a den until June, to avoid endangering the pups.

“It’s amazing that he appears to have found a mate,” Stephenson said. “I didn’t think it would happen.

It makes me more impressed with the ability of wolves to survive and find one another.”

Young wolves typically leave their pack and strike out for a new territory, hoping to find a mate and start a new pack.

OR-7 has been looking for a mate since leaving the Imnaha pack in northeastern Oregon in September 2011.

His travels have taken him thousands of miles as he crossed highways, deserts and

ranches in Oregon, moved down the spine of the Cascade Range deep into Northern California and then back to Oregon, all without getting shot, having an accident or starving.

Federal Endangered Species Act protections for wolves have been lifted in eastern Oregon, where the bulk of them reside, but they remain in force in the Cascades. Protections for the animals have also ended in the last several years in the Northern Rockies and western Great Lakes.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed ending the listing across most of the rest of the country as populations have rebounded. A final decision is expected later this year.

If a wolf was going to start a pack in a new part of Oregon, ranchers should be glad it is OR-7, who has no history of preying on livestock, said Bill Hoyt, past president of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association. The group supports Oregon’s wolf recovery plan and is looking forward to the day the predator’s numbers and range expand enough for their protections to be removed.

Steve Pedery, conservation director of Oregon Wild, said the news was “spectacular.” The conservation group won a court ruling barring the state from killing two members of OR-7’s home pack for preying on livestock and later won a settlement strictly limiting when wolves can be killed.

How to store nonperishable food Every household needs to have some amount of food in storage. How much food to store is an individual decision that depends on your financial resources, storage area and other factors. Ideally, you need enough to feed your family for six months, but start with shorter goals, like o n e EVERYDAY week, CHEAPSKATE then two weeks and then a month — some kind of incremental p l a n won’t bust the Mary budget or throw Hunt you into pa n i c buying that can easily lead to burnout and buyer’s remorse.

Canned goods. Generally, commercially canned foods are good for two to five years from the date they were packed. High acid food such as tomato sauce will not keep as long as a can of beans, for example. Canned protein such as tuna, chicken, corned beef and even bacon (yes, you can now buy canned, cooked bacon) have a shelf life of five years or longer.

Canned foods lose vitamins as time goes by, so you will want to rotate your food supply so you are using and replacing items before their “use by” dates.

Rice. White rice should be used within two years after opening, brown within six months as it has more protein. You can extend the shelf life of white rice to 10 years or longer when properly sealed and stored.

Flour. You can count on all-purpose flour lasting well for three to six months in its sealed bag, up to one year in the refrigerator and longer if stored in a freezer.

Sugar. Sugar is one of the few products that lasts indefinitely. The only problem it presents for cooks is that it can harden. For this reason, plan on sugar having a useful shelf life of about two years.

Vacuum sealer. One of the best ways to store anything, especially dry items in bulk, is in glass canning jars that have been vacuum sealed. I own a FoodSaver vacuum-sealing machine, which I wouldn’t trade for anything. I use it every day of my life. I have a supply of wide-mouth glass canning jars in varying sizes that I use to keep everything from chips to crackers and rice to flour fresh, with the use of the wide-mouth jar sealing accessory. Vacuumsealed two-quart canning jars of white rice are good to go for at least 10 years. My vacuum sealer is one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I suggest you consider investing in one if you are serious about food preparedness.

It may require a little creativity on your part to find space for your new food reserves. Just keep in mind that most of us have space currently occupied by stuff we never use and really don’t need.

Under the bed. If you have room under your beds, you can use shallow plastic containers to hold canned goods and sealed dry goods.

Closets. Walk in your closet, turn around and look above the door. This space is open in many closets and a great place to add a wire shelf for lighter foodstuffs. Be very careful as you don’t want cans to roll off and land on your head.

NEWS D I G E S T Suspect’s 3 friends tried separately BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that three friends of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect will be tried separately.

But the judge also says it is unnecessary to move the trials out of Massachusetts.

The judge ruled Tuesday that Azamat Tazhayakov (AZ’-maht tuh-ZAY’-uhkahv) will stand trial on June 30, followed by Dias Kadyrbayev (DY’-us kahdur-BY’-ehv) on Sept. 8, and Robel Phillipos on Sept. 29.

Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev are both from Kazakhstan and are in the U.S. on student visas. They face charges of tampering with evidence for removing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s (johHAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehvz) laptop and a backpack of fireworks from his University of Massachusetts Dartmouth dorm room.

2 killed at West Virginia coal mine WHARTON, W.Va. (AP) — State and federal officials say two workers who were trapped when the ground failed at a West Virginia mine with a history of safety violations have died.

Officials for federal and state safety agencies say the incident occurred just after 8:45 p.m. Monday at Brody Mine No. 1 in Boone County, about 50 miles south of Charleston.

Amy Louviere of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration say the miners’ bodies were recovered.

Ex-Prime Minister sentenced to 6 years

A home bursts into flames in Brentwood, N.H., on Monday. Shots were fired just before the fire, which involved a police officer, according to the New Hampshire State Police.

New Hampshire cop dies in shooting before blaze BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) — A domestic dispute that may have involved a father and a son turned deadly when a police officer was fatally shot by a man who authorities say later died in a roaring house fire in southern New Hampshire.

Suspected gunman Michael Nolan, 47, was presumed dead Monday after a late afternoon fire demolished the duplex in a tree-lined neighborhood restricted to people 55 and older.

State Attorney General Joseph Foster said Monday night that Brentwood police Officer Stephen Arkell, 48, answered the domestic dispute call at about 4 p.m. and was fatally shot when he arrived at the house. A second officer tried to enter but was driven away by gunfire.

About an hour after the shooting, the house burst into flames and video flames eating showed through the roof of the modern yellow building.

Firefighters were kept away from the scene and soon a massive explosion blew the front off the house. Within an hour, it was leveled.

Nolan is the son of the 86-year-old homeowner, Walter Nolan.

Arkell, who was married

and had two teenage daughters, had worked for the Brentwood Police Department for about 15 years as a parttime officer. He helped coach the girls’ lacrosse team at Exeter High School, where both of his daughters play.

Gov. Maggie Hassan directed that flags fly at halfstaff in honor of Arkell.

“The entire state of New Hampshire is in mourning over the tragic loss of Brentwood Officer Steve Arkell,” she said in a statement. “Officer Arkell bravely answered the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice, a heroic demonstration of his commitment to the safety of his fellow citizens.

“Like so many of our first responders do on a daily basis, Officer Arkell courageously put his life on the line to protect others, and in doing so, was tragically taken far too soon,” she said.

Among those extending their condolences was the police department in Greenland, about 20 miles away, which lost its police chief, Michael Maloney in a hail of gunfire in April 2012 during a drug raid. and “Our thoughts prayers are with our Brothers and Sisters in Brentwood,” the department posted on its

Facebook page.

Debra Vasapolli, director of public relations at Exeter Hospital, said one person was taken to the hospital but said that person was not the victim of a gunshot wound.

She declined to provide more details or say if the victim was the elder Nolan.

Neighbor Wayne Hughes told the Portsmouth Herald that police responded to the house after neighbors heard an argument Monday afternoon and called 911. His wife, Susan, said she saw a police officer arrive at the home and then heard “rapid gunfire.”

She said she saw Walter Nolan being taken from the scene by ambulance before she was evacuated from the area.

Aerial coverage from WMUR-TV showed flames burning through the roof of the house and an explosion punching out the front of the house shortly after 5:30 p.m.

Within minutes of the explosion, the house was engulfed in flames as black smoke billowed over the neighborhood. started Firefighters attacking the blaze around 6 p.m. It was largely out about a half-hour later and didn’t appear to have spread to neighboring houses.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Germany’s foreign minister on Tuesday tried to broker a quick launch of talks between Ukraine’s central government in Kiev and the pro-Russia separatists who declared independence a day ago in two eastern regions.

Speaking at Kiev’s main airport, envoy Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Germany supports Ukraine’s efforts to arrange for a dialogue between the central government and its opponents in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions that form the nation’s industrial heartland.

Pro-Russia insurgents have seized government buildings and clashed with government forces in eastern Ukraine in the past month and are holding some journalists and others hostage. Steinmeier voiced hope for a quick release of the hostages, the handover of occupied buildings and stressed the importance of holding Ukraine’s presidential

vote as planned May 25.

The Ukrainian government and the West have accused Russia of fomenting the mutiny in the east to derail Ukraine’s presidential vote and possibly grab more land.

Steinmeier’s trip is part of the road map for settling Ukraine’s crisis laid out by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, a trans-Atlantic security group.

Russia called Tuesday for a swift implementation of the OSCE plan, saying its demand to end violence means that the central government in Kiev should stop its military operation to recapture buildings in the east, lift its blockade of cities and towns, pull its forces from eastern regions and release all political prisoners.

“We are demanding (they) stop intimidating civilians by using force or threatening to use it,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Car bomb attacks kill 28 people in Baghdad BAGHDAD (AP) — A wave of car bombings in mainly Shiite areas of Baghdad killed 28 people Tuesday, officials said, the latest in a surge in violence that has been the most serious challenge to the government’s efforts to achieve stability across Iraq.

The attacks came as Iraqi Shiites were celebrating the birthday of Imam Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad and Shiite Islam’s most sacred martyr.

In the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City, a car bomb went off in the morning hours, killing four people and wounding six, police officials said.

Another car bomb elsewhere in Sadr City exploded near a cluster of homes,killing two people and wounding seven.

Associated Press footage from one of the Sadr City attacks showed a thick cloud

of smoke rising from the blast area where several cars were on fire.

A short while later, a car bomb exploded in a commercial street in Baghdad’s eastern district of Jamila, killing three people and wounding 10.Police said a fourth car bomb went off near a traffic police office in eastern Baghdad, killing four people, including a traffic policeman. Seven people were wounded in that attack.

Haithem Kadhum, owner of a juice shop in Jamila who was wounded in the attack there, said he was in his store when he heard a big explosion.

He was told the blast was in his home neighborhood of Sadr City so rushed to his car to go check on his family. But as he was driving through Jamila, another explosion went off, this one near him.

The flying shrapnel wounded him in the shoulder.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime former Israel’s Minister Ehud Olmert was sentenced on Tuesday to six years in prison for his role in wide-ranging bribery case, capping a stunning fall from grace for one of the most powerful men in the country.

The Tel Aviv district court handed down the punishment in the Jerusalem real estate scandal case related to Olmert’s activities before becoming prime minister in 2006. Tuesday’s sentencing followed a guilty verdict that was handed down by the same court in March.

Boko Haram’s leader, who appears separately from the girls, says in the new video: “I swear to almighty Allah, you will not see them again until you release our brothers that you have captured.” He has previously threatened to sell the girls into slavery.

Hussein Monguno, an official with a civic group called the Borno Yobe People’s Forum, said representatives of the families of the missing girls had been

BUDGET Continued from Page A1 year. That would be the narrowest gap since 2008.

In 2008, the government recorded a deficit of $458.6 billion, which was the deficit up to that time. But that record was soon eclipsed as the government ran annual deficits surpassing $1 trillion for the next four years. Those deficits reflected a deep recession. The downturn reduced tax revenue and increased government spending to stabilize the financial system and pay benefits for

Nigeria’s government initially suggested there would be no negotiations with Boko Haram, but it appears that stance may be relaxed.

Mike Omeri, the director of the government’s information agency, said the government will “use whatever kind of action” it takes to free the girls. He also warned that a military operation, with foreign help, was possible.

“At the moment, because all options are open we are interacting with experts, military and intelligence experts from other parts of the world,” he said. people who had lost jobs.

So far this budget year, revenue totals $1.74 trillion, up 8.2 percent from the same period in 2013. Revenue has been boosted by a stronger economy, which means more people working and paying taxes, thereby reducing the deficit.

Government spending totals $1.6 trillion, down 8.2 percent from a year ago. The decline reflects efforts by Congress and the administration to trim spending.

After peaking at $1.4 trillion in 2009, the deficit has been falling. Last year, it dropped to $680.2 billion.

Nonetheless, that’s an official action and it needs to be ratified at a regular meeting.

Whether we’ll do that at the next meeting (May 20) or the next one, I’m not sure.

That’d be Melissa’s call.”

Cribbins has not returned repeated requests for comment from The World.

While Groth heard from Whitty that the current SCCF board of directors had plans to meet May 20 “to get the ball rolling” on applying for nonprofit status from the IRS, Lansing told The World later that that’s not the case.

Lansing thought all four would have members appointed their directors and representatives by May 21, and he had planned on a May 22 meeting. Because the Port is delaying its meeting until May 22, Lansing said he has “yet to determine an appropriate date for us to meet.”

“I explained to him (Whitty) that we’re in flux in terms of getting the rest of the directors appointed,” Groth said.

Only Lansing, Whitty and Verger have been ratified as directors at this point.

Lansing denied The World’s request for an agenda for the SCCF board of directors meeting.

“I will not send you an agenda, however I may invite The World to sit in on this meeting — in support of our transparency effort,” Lansing wrote in an email Monday night.

Section 4(c) of the SCCF bylaws reads: “The Members or the board of directors shall provide for and give public notice, reasonably calculated to give actual notice to interested persons including news media which have requested notice, of the time and place for holding of all meetings. The notice shall also include a list of the principal subjects anticipated to be considered at the meeting, but this requirement shall not limit the ability of the Members or board of directors to consider additional subjects.”

The CEP work group also discussed the initial framework of the local agreement, which must be approved by the four enterprise zone sponsors to solidify the CEP. Margaret Barber, Coos Curry Douglas Business Development Corporation’s community development director for Coos and Curry counties, proposed two agreements.

“One would be between the four entities and Jordan Cove that would basically lay

out the amounts to be distributed, when those payments would be made and who would handle those particulars,” she said. “The second agreement would be between the four sponsoring entities to carry the particulars of how the money is distributed, in terms of allocation amounts and the channels that would go through.”

This arrangement would give the enterprise zone sponsors flexibility, she said, should they need to alter their agreement in the future without affecting Jordan Cove.

“We’re looking at and have gotten examples of other local agreements to establish what is the boilerplate,” said port CEO David Koch. “Attorneys love to

borrow from tried-and-true language that’s already laid out there, as opposed to having to invent it all from scratch.”

Koch expects a draft local agreement will be ready by the end of the month.

State Sen. Arnie Roblan and state Rep. Caddy McKeown also attended Monday’s meeting, reassuring the work group that they don’t anticipate the legislature taking any action to dissolve the SCCF or claw back education funding as a result of the CEP. The CEP work group will meet again June 9.

Pirates hand Lancers first FWL softball losses

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — After getting swept by Douglas 21⁄2 weeks ago, Marshfield’s softball team collectively moped around Coos Head Field looking noticeably deflated. The two losses put the Pirates at 5-6 in league. The playoffs looked like a longshot.

Marshfield hasn’t lost a game since.

The Pirates continued their six-game win streak by sweeping undefeated Far West leader South Umpqua, squeaking by the Lancers in a pair of one-run games Monday.

“It’s awesome, if I had one word to explain it,” Marshfield head coach Brooke Toy said.

Marshfield stole the first game, coming back from a two-run deficit in the seventh to escape with 6-5 on a walk-off passed ball.

In the second game, the Pirates jumped out to just enough of an early lead for starting pitcher Mackenzie Johnson to close out a 3-2 win.

“We just came ready to play today,” Toy said. “We’ve been working hard to get to the quicker pitches and we came away with two solid wins.”

In the first game, Marshfield was down 5-3 going into the seventh when the Pirates capitalized on a pair of Lancers errors to steal the game.

Jessica Kohl and Katelyn Rossback both singled to get the seventh going, then Abby Osborne reached on an error.

After Rossback and Kohl scored, Osborne stood at third as the game-winning run with Carli Clarkson up.

Clarkson struck out, but Lancer catcher Haleigh Gallego missed the pitch, allowing

Osborne to score and hand South Umpqua its first loss of the year.

Offensively for the Pirates, leadoff hitter Jade Chavez went 1-for-3 with two RBIs and three stolen bases. Rossback went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a triple.

“It’s very exciting for us,” Marshfield senior Essence Botts said. “For them being undefeated and us on senior night to beat them, it’s awesome.”

The first game offered the Pirates a chance at retribution.

Besides getting 10-run ruled in the first meeting, Marshfield was no-hit by the Lancers’ Game 1 starter, Krystan Cook.

Cook earned the respect of the Marshfield offense from the first meeting.

Toy called her “loud and solid” and Pirate catcher Osborne said she had the “nastiest” curveball she’s ever seen.

“For us to come out and hit her was amazing,” Osborne said of Cook, who had a home run from the plate for the Lancers.

“It’s the best feeling in the world to come out and make that adjustment.”

The second game, Marshfield jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning and held on.

Chavez led off the game with a double, stole third and then got knocked in by Rossback. Paige Tavernier then slapped a single to bring in Rossback to put the Pirates up 2-0 early.

The next inning Chavez singled to score Johnson to give the Pirates starting pitcher all the run support she needed at 3-0.

Johnson went the full 14 innings for the Pirates on Monday and only gave up a single earned run between both games.

Red Devils grab lead at district THE WORLD

By Alysha Beck, The World

BANDON — Coquille’s boys golf team got off to a great start at the Far West League district tournament Monday, jumping out to a five-stroke lead over regular-season champion Marshfield with its best score of the season.

The Red Devils finished at 331 Monday, led by Terrence Edwards, who shot a 73. That gave him a three-stroke lead in the race for medalist over Tyler Franke of Sutherlin, who won all the regular-season tournaments, and Marshfield’s Preston Luckman.

Marshfield’s Kasey Banks was another shot back at 77, with Coquille’s Clayton Dieu fifth at 80.

Coquille, which plays as a Class 4A school for golf because of its cooperative agreement with Myrtle Point, will earn one of the league’s two berths for the state tournament if it either wins today or finishes ahead of every team but Marshfield.

North Bend clinches baseball crown

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — Better early than never.

North Bend clinched the Far West League title Monday by sweeping Douglas at Clyde Allen Field.

At 14-1, the Bulldogs wrapped up the league title with three games still left in the regular season.

“It’s a little bit strange,” North Bend head coach Brad Horning said. “We’ve always had to win a game on the last day.”

Last year, North Bend had an identical record with Siuslaw but lost the head-to-head tiebreaker for the league title.

The Bulldogs cemented this year’s Far West League title outright Monday, coming back to win the first game 12-10 and running away with the second 9-1.

“The first game was really tough,” Horning said. “Luckily we

were able to score in a couple different innings and Johnny Bennison getting that big hit to put us up late was crucial.”

In the first game, North Bend started quickly on offense and went up 3-0 in the first inning.

The Bulldogs got a pair of singles from Zach Inskeep and Willie Mahr before a Tylan Corder triple knocked them both in.

The Bulldogs eventually fell behind after a four-run Douglas fourth inning fueled by Brandon Stewart and Cade Claughton, who each had three hits for the Trojans in the first game.

North Bend battled back, and down 10-7 in the fifth inning, North Bend exploded for five runs capped by a pivotal double from Bennison.

Bennison went 3-for-3 with two doubles including the gamewinning two-run two-bagger that broke a 10-10 tie and earned him the win on the mound.

“I feel like I did pretty good

today,” said Bennison, who also pitched the first 6 1-3 innings for the Bulldogs. “I tried to get better at hitting and score us some runs back.”

North Bend broke the second game open with a five-run, ninebatter rally in the fourth.

Already up 2-0, Bulldogs Jared Hampel and Corder both had doubles, Tyler Laskey and Inskeep had singles and the Bulldogs jumped up to a massive 7-0 lead for pitcher Hunter Jackson.

Laskey finished 2-for-2 with a pair of RBIs, Corder went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and Inskeep finished 2-for-3 with two runs, an RBI and a double.

“We just came out to play,” Inskeep said. “Everyone had a nice approach at bat and everyone contributed. We just got a lot of momentum and we just ran with it.”

As well as they did at the plate, Horning was most pleased with the Bulldogs’ defense. North Bend

had five errors in the first game. In the second, they were clean defensively.

Horning highlighted Hampel’s efforts at second base and said the defense really gave Jackson confidence on the mound as he cruised for the complete game, scattering four hits with seven strikeouts.

“In the second game we just decided to play better defensively and we did, which really helped out Hunter,” Horning said.

North Bend will travel to Brookings-Harbor today and then will host a doubleheader with Siuslaw on Friday.

The Bruins and Vikings are second and third in the Far West League, so they should keep the Bulldogs sharp as they begin to prepare for the postseason.

“The teams we play from here on out are in the playoffs or fighting to be in the playoffs so we’ll take them as practice playoff games,” Horning said.

Blazers avoid sweep against Spurs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND — Nicolas Batum had a simple question for his Portland teammates: “Why not us?”

No other team has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. But the Trail Blazers took the first step Monday night by beating the San Antonio Spurs 103-92 to stave off elimination and narrow the Western Conference semifinal series to 3-1.

“Why not us? No, it’s never been done before,” Batum said.

“We know it’s going to be tough. It won’t be easy, especially against this team.’

The French forward had 14 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists and pestered fellow countryman Tony Parker all night.

Damian Lillard had 25 points to lead the Blazers, who won their first second-round playoff game since a victory over Utah in the 2000 conference semifinals.

“We had nothing to lose tonight. We had no pressure. It was do or die,” Batum said. “So we just go out there and play.”

Portland held Parker to 14 points after he had scored 29

The Associated Press

Portland fans cheer in the first quarter Monday during Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series against San Antonio. points or more in three of his last four playoff games. Coach Gregg Popovich sat Parker and Tim Duncan after Portland built a 20point lead in the final quarter.

The Spurs are looking to advance to the conference finals for the third straight season. Game 5 is Wednesday night in San Antonio.

“The energy was weird tonight,” Parker said. “You have to

give a lot of credit to Portland.

They played great. They came out of the gates and I thought Batum was great tonight. He gave them a big boost.”

The Blazers were the last team to take a series to seven games after dropping the first three.

Portland rebounded in the first round against Dallas in 2003, but ultimately lost the deciding game

in the first-round series.

The Blazers have been hurt by the loss of backup point guard Mo Williams to a groin injury for the past two games. Williams provided both energy and points off the bench all season in relief of Lillard.

Portland got just six points off the bench in Game 3, but Will Barton provided a spark with 17 points on Monday night.

Barton became the first Blazer with 17 points and six rebounds off the bench in a playoff game since Brian Grant in 2000 against Utah.

“Any time you get a boost off the bench it’s always good for a momentum swing,” San Antonio’s Danny Green said. “When he comes in and gets the crowd into it, they pretty much get it going, and it helped them a lot. “ Coach Terry Stotts promised that the Blazers would play with pride in Game 4 and they did from the start.

Lillard’s pull up jumper gave Portland a 14-8 lead. He extended it to 20-14 with a layup. But the Spurs answered with a 9-2 run and took a 24-23 lead on Patty Mills’ 3-pointer.

Bulldogs qualify 5 for state THE WORLD MEDFORD — North Bend qualified a singles player and two doubles teams for the Class 4A3A-2A-1A state tennis tournament with their results on the opening day of the district tournament Monday.

The Bulldogs also grabbed a four-point lead over Sisters and St. Mary’s as they try to win another district title.

Keaten Baker, the defending singles champion, won both his matches after a bye without losing a game Monday to reach today’s semifinals.

The top-seeded doubles team, Stewart Lyons and James Jordan, also had a first-round bye before winning both of its matches easily, losing one game in each.

Meanwhile, Jacob Gage and Brigham Baker beat two seeded teams on the way to reaching the semifinals and earning a spot at state.

They won all three of their matches in straight sets, including topping No. 4 seed Chad Morse and Jack O’Hara of Cascade Christian 6-3, 6-1 and No. 5 seed Ian Newton and Justin Hawkins of St. Mary’s, 6-1, 6-0 in the quarterfinals.

A third doubles team of North Bend also reached the quarterfinals. But River Morse and Daniel Bennett came up short against the No. 2 seeds, Devon Calvin and Evon Richards of Sisters, falling 6-1, 6-1.

Morse and Bennett opened their run with a win over Marshfield’s top team of Austin Muncy and Leon Wittern-Kochs.

North Bend singles players Steven Chan and Brant Hamner each won one match before being eliminated.

Richard Godden of Marshfield beat North Bend’s Sam Rodrigues in a three-set match.

Marshfield’s Ryan Reed and Caleb Kyllo won their first-round doubles match before losing.

Sports Buehrle reaches 7 wins

SWOCC rallies to take golf title THE WORLD

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — Mark Buehrle became the first seven-game winner in the majors, Jose Bautista and Brett Lawrie homered and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 Monday night to avoid a four-game sweep.

Buehrle (7-1) allowed two runs and six hits in six-plus innings. He walked a seasonhigh five and struck MLB out two.

Recap The lefthander came in with an AL-leading 1.91 ERA, but saw that rise to 2.04, the same as Detroit’s Max Scherzer.

Bautista hit a three-run homer in the first inning and Lawrie, who returned to the lineup after missing six games with a sore right hamstring, added a two-run shot in the sixth as the Blue Jays avoided what would have been their first four-game sweep to the Angels.

Both homers came off Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson (4-3), who allowed five runs and six hits in six innings.

Tigers 4, Orioles 1: Rick Porcello (6-1) won his fifth straight start, and Detroit beat Baltimore in a duel between AL division leaders that included a benchesclearing confrontation.

After Ian Kinsler’s tworun homer in the eighth made it 4-1, Orioles starter Bud Norris hit Torii Hunter in the ribcage with a pitch. Hunter yelled at Norris, and as he made his way toward first base, the Tigers outfielder moved slightly in the direction of the mound.

That caused both dugouts to empty, and relievers from both bullpens charged toward the infield. Order was quickly restored before any-

PLAYOFFS From Page B1 Portland, which had only led twice in the previous three games, quickly reclaimed the lead and held on until Tiago Splitter tied it at 46 with a free throw. The Blazers had a 50-48 lead at the half.

Mariners 12, Rays 5: Felix Hernandez (4-1) got plenty of run support and Seattle topped Tampa Bay after hitting two early drives off the top of the wall, requiring video reviews on consecutive batters.

James Jones doubled, singled and scored in each of the first three innings as the Mariners took a 9-0 lead.

The rare back-to-back replays came in the first inning as Robinson Cano and then Corey Hart both barely missed home runs on flys that hit the yellow line atop the fence and bounced back. Umpires ruled both balls in play, and their calls were confirmed.

Cano wound up with a

After that, Marshfield will have to wait and see where the chips fall in the OSAA power rankings to see how its postseason fate shakes out. Toy and the Pirates are just focused on the things they can control and

hope the momentum will just carry over for a win today.

“It’s awesome for us and it’s great going into Sutherlin (today),” Toy said.

“Hopefully we can get a big win there and hopefully get into a playoff situation.”

Marshfield can finish with the same league record as Brookings-Harbor if the Bruins are swept by South

Umpqua on Friday. But the Bruins would get the league’s guaranteed third-place spot in the play-in round by virtue of winning the season series with the Pirates.

But Monday’s wins moved Marshfield up to No. 20 in the power rankings, which puts the Pirates in better shape to get into the play-in round as an at-large team.

The Cavs went 33-49 under Brown, who had four years remaining on his contract.

“This is a very tough business,” Gilbert said in a statement. “It pains all of us here that we needed to make the difficult decision of releasing Mike Brown. Mike worked hard over this last season to move our team in the right direction. Although, there was some progress from our finish over the few prior seasons, we believe we need to head in a different direction.

We wish Mike and his family nothing but the best.”

In addition to firing Brown, Gilbert announced

Walking on air Assignment: Describe what your life would be like without gravity.

Rebe cca . , a st uden t a t Ch ri st L u t h e r a n S ch o o l , C o o s B a y , w i ll receive a prize for her submission on this topic: I think if there were no gravity it would be fun because when you jumped you would never come back down! I think it also might be hard to live up in the air, because when you jump high enough you might never see your family again! It would be rather hard to get food, because most birds might be sleeping when you are getting ready for dinner. Or the bids might still be sleeping when you are going to get ready for breakfast.

CHRIST LUTHERAN SCHOOL Mrs. Jones 3rd and 4th Grade If there were no gravity it would be fun because we all could float. I would love it because we could fly wherever we want. You could swim in air, because the water can float. Some people can’t reach fruit on trees, so with no gravity you can fly up to get it.

If you fall off something you won’t get hurt.

Sienna If there were no gravity I wouldn’t be able to find food. Also I wouldn’t drink water. I wouldn’t have water. I wouldn’t be able to ride my bike.

Landen If I did not have gravity I would be floating.

My life would be Up in the air and not Very fun. It might Be fun if you could Do fun stuff. You could do Flips in the air. How would You eat if you your in the Air. How would I help my With my baby brother.

How would I change My baby brother’s Diaper. When I grow Up I would drive in a Nice car and a floating Car. THE END

Trinity If there were no gravity, you would float so high you can’t breath .there’s no food or water. Before long a wild animal would float up to you and eat you. there wouldn’t be humans for miles away. You would get too much vitamin D. you would eventually get to close to the sun, you couldn’t control yourself. You would be miserable.

But it would be fun.

Cooper D. If there was no gravity I would fly around. I would live in a floating house. I would also ride a bike around the earth. I would also go to a floating school. And when I grow up I would drive a floating car.

Brock If their was no gravity... I would love to go to floating School. I would have my very own machine to spot things on earth. I would have a very large, long car. And I would see all of the pretty birds in the sky.

Morgan My life without gravity would be kind of fun but it would have its drawbacks. Fun reason #1: You could fly around like Superman! Drawback #1: You wouldn’t be able to run because there would be no force pulling you down and you wouldn’t get anywhere.

Fun reason #2: The world would be one giant trampoline! Lastly, drawback #2 is there won’t be any food or water. So, it would be loads of fun but there would be danders, too.

Karis K. My life would be really weird without gravity. I would be floating in the sky . That would be fun because I would be able to feel clouds. Also you would go so high you wouldn’t be able to breath . It would be like you were flying. THE END Amelia

Upcoming menus for Chef’s Table

Modern way to baked Alaska

After a break at the end of the winter term, Chef’s Table is back. Note the new brunch hours with the start and finish times 30 minutes earlier than before.

The next Chef’s Table meals will be May 9 and 11.

BY SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

When it comes to ice cream, I generally feel it’s hard to improve on a simple scoop right out of the carton.

But this time my mind has turned to baked Alaska. I know... How retro!

Baked Alaska once was the star dessert of cruise ship dining rooms and upscale restaurants. The classic recipe called for vanilla ice cream enrobed in sponge cake, lavishly frosted with meringue, then lightly browned in a high-heat oven.

At the last moment, it was doused in alcohol and set on fire. The waiter would emerge from the kitchen and parade around the room holding the star of the evening aloft. Now that’s showbiz!

Baked Alaska’s enduring appeal — and mystery — is easy to understand. How can you bake ice cream in an oven and not have it melt into a bubbly puddle? The answer?

It’s doubly insulated by the cake and the meringue. This may seem daunting, but it’s not beyond the skills of a home cook.

My version results in mini baked Alaskas: one person, one Alaska. Accordingly, a small brownie stands in for a full cake. Any store-bought brownie (roughly 2 inches square) will do. You cut it in half horizontally (to create two thin halves), then sandwich in the frozen filling.

Won’t the brownie crumble when you cut it? Not if you freeze it for 30 minutes ahead of time.

The “ice cream” in this recipe is raspberry sorbet. It’s a slimmer option than fullfat ice cream, a refreshing flavor that nods to the season, and a time-tested and deeply satisfying complement to the dark chocolate.

I wasn’t sure that the brownie and the meringue would match up as well, but it turns out that the meringue — basically just a lighter-than-air mixture of beaten egg whites and sugar — somehow transforms our tiny stuffed ice cream sandwich into something quite substantial. Before you bake it, just be sure to slather every part of this concoction with the meringue. That’ll protect the ice cream during its short blast with heat.

Once you pull your baked Alaska out of the oven, top it

Oysters make a fine start to summer

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press

Of the many — Many! — delicious things I’ve tossed on the grill over the years, I’ll confess that oysters never made it onto my menu.

It simply never occurred to me that my experience of this simple raw bar treat could be elevated by the application of a few flames.

That is, until I recently attended an oyster event at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami Beach. At this rooftop oyster outing, numerous chefs were offering up grilled oysters fresh off the flames.

One variation topped the oyster with a thick slab of chorizo and manchego cheese. Amazing. But my SEE ALASKA | C2 favorite was from Hung

Huynh, the chef at Catch Miami and winner of the third season of Bravo’s “Top Chef.” He topped the oysters with a sauce that was deeply savory and had just a bit of heat from jalapenos. I decided I had to make them for myself, and that these oysters would make a fantastic starter for a cookout kicking off summer.

Refreshing new summer secrets

BY ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Strawberry lemonade, right, and Rocking Chair lemonade.

Homemade lemonade is an essential taste of summer.

But concentrates and powders simply won’t suffice.

Luckily, great homemade lemonade is as easy as remembering a few numbers — 3-1-1-1. Three cups of cold water, 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar and 1 more cup of water to make the sugar syrup.

The sugar syrup — also called simple syrup — is the key to perfect homemade

lemonade. As anyone who has tried to sweeten ice tea knows, sugar does not dissolve well in cold liquids. But simple syrup — a blend of (typically) equal parts sugar and water that was heated briefly to help the sugar dissolve — mixes beautifully into lemonade, ice tea or cocktails.

When shopping for lemons for lemonade, buy large lemons that feel heavy and are squeezable. I am sure that I am not the only one

British took over and established free communities in Jamaica’s mountainous interior. The Maroons hunted wild boars, then preserved the meat with a spice mix that contained a hefty amount of salt. When it was time to eat, the meat was cooked in a pit or grilled very slowly over a fire. Eventually, Jamaicans began to cook all kinds of meats jerk-style.

Jerk seasoning consists of a base blend of scallions, thyme, allspice (known as pimento in Jamaica), Scotch bonnet chilies, salt and, not infrequently, cinnamon or SEE CHICKEN | C2

Cuisine CHICKEN Continued from Page C1 nutmeg. This may look like an awful lot of ingredients to slice and dice, but that’s not the case. Toss them all into a blender, pulverize everything to a paste, then you’re good to go.

But you do need to be careful when you’re messing with those Scotch bonnets. I advise wearing gloves.

Seriously. A cousin of the habanero, Scotch bonnets are serious chilies. I call for a whole chili here, but you can use less if you want to tamp down the heat. Happily, Scotch bonnets aren’t solely about heat; they also are uniquely flavorful — like a cross between a mango and chili — with a wonderfully fruity scent. If you can’t find Scotch bonnets, use a habanero. If you can’t find either, reach for a jalapeno or serrano.

I left the skin on the chicken to prevent it from drying out while it’s being grilled, so when you marinate the chicken be sure to put the spice paste under the skin as well as on top of it. If you want to cut calories, you’re welcome to discard the skin after you’re done grilling. The meat itself will be plenty spicy.

The job of the watermelon salsa is to balance the heat of the chilies. All by itself, of course, ripe watermelon is one of the top reasons to love summer. But they happen to be plenty healthy, too. They’re full of water, which makes them an excellent hot weather

Arrange the bottom of each brownie square on a work surface. Scoop 1⁄4 cup of the sorbet on top of each brownie bottom. Top the sorbet

When the sandwiches are nearly hard, heat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment, then mist it with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites and a pinch of salt until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until the whites hold soft peaks. Add the sugar gradually, beating, and continue beating until the whites hold stiff, glossy peaks.

And these days you don’t have to buy mega-melons.

There are plenty of smaller versions, most of them “seedless” (or at least with soft little seeds), the result of hybridization. At the supermarket, look for a melon with a large yellow spot on the bottom. The bottom, or underbelly, of a watermelon is the spot where it was resting on the ground. If that “ground spot” is white or green, the watermelon is unlikely to be fully ripe.

Once your melon is home, don’t store it in the fridge, at least not until it’s sliced.

So, jerk and watermelon.

Hot and sweet. What could be more summery?

LEMONADE Continued from Page C1 who has purchased lemons only to cut them and find that half the lemon is rind and there is very little juice. For that reason, I always buy a couple extra.If I think I can get 1 cup of juice from 6 lemons, I buy 8.

As soon as I bring them home, I soak the lemons in a solution of white vinegar and water to minimize any molding or rotting. Often, a bag of lemons with one slightly moldy lemon becomes a whole bag of rotten lemons overnight if you don’t do this.

And you don’t have to stop at lemons; this is a great way to wash all fruits and vegetables.

Before you juice them, soak the lemons in warm water or microwave them for 10 seconds. The heat relaxes the juice pouches and makes it easier to extract the most juice from each lemon. Then, before you cut them in half, roll the lemons on the counter with your palm,exerting some pressure. This also helps get the juices flowing.

Once the juice is strained of excess pulp and seeds, and the simple syrup is cooled, you are ready to mix your lemonade.

This can be done up to 2 days in advance. Also, be careful not to add too much water.

The lemonade should be slightly concentrated because the ice in the glass will dilute it a bit. For that reason, I never add the ice to the pitcher, only to the glasses.

Experiment with making this same basic recipe with limes, Meyer lemons and oranges, scaling back on the simple syrup based on the sweetness of the fruit. And

once you master the base recipe, you are ready to try variations. My favorite is strawberry lemonade, but don’t stop there. Try any summer berry, honeydew melon, peaches and summer herbs. I use the rule of thumb that 2 cups of ripe fruit should yield more or less a cup of juice once it is strained. I use my juicer, but you can use a blender and a fine mesh strainer just as easily.

You also can freeze this fruit juice into ice cubes and serve the lemonade over fruit ice.The flavor variation will be more delicate, but it is pretty and you will get more and more fruit flavor as the ice melts. If I make the lemonade in a pitcher or a large mason jar, I float thin slices of lemon or berries in it for a refreshing and pretty summertime look.

ROCKING CHAIR LEMONADE For a rustic presentation, serve in mismatched canning jars. Then just sit back in an old rocking chair on the porch and let summer begin!

If you are concerned that the lemonade will be too sweet, 1 3 start with ⁄2 cup or ⁄4 cup of the sugar syrup, then taste before adding more.

Start to finish: 30 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 cup warm tap water 1 cup sugar 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6 lemons) 3 cups cold water 1 lemon, thinly sliced Fresh mint leaves (optional) In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stir together the warm water and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, then set aside off the heat to cool.

Once the syrup is cool, pour it into a 2-quart pitcher.

Add the lemon juice and cold water, then stir well. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint. Serve over ice.

Strawberry lemonade: Puree 2 cups of cleaned and hulled fresh strawberries in a juicer or blender. If using a blender, press the puree through a mesh strainer to remove any large pieces of pulp. Add the strawberry puree to the lemonade recipe above, but reduce the cold water to 2 cups.

Lemon drop cocktail: From the recipe above, mix the lemon juice and simple syrup with 2 cups of cold water. Add 1 cup of lemonflavored or other vodka and 1 ⁄3 cup of orange liqueur. Mix well. Frost the glasses with a sugar rim and pour over crushed ice. Add a slice of lemon for garnish.

ROGER BARKLOW, SON OF WALTER E. BARKLOW, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS CONSTRUCTIVE TRUSTEE OF THE ESTATE OF WALTER E. BARKLOW; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; STATE OF OREGON; UNKNOWN HEIRS OF WALTER E. BARKLOW; OCCUPANTS OF THE PREMISES

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF COOS No. 13CV1127 CIVIL SUMMONS

WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 2014 Do a little soul-searching this year. You may have been limiting your prospects by relying too much on other people. Assert your independence. Take a tally of your achievements, accomplishments and ideas, and weed out anything that could inhibit your success.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You have a reputation as being steadfast and dependable, but you should let your hair down more often and show your fun side.

Romance and intimacy are in the stars. Take a chance on love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Make a contribution to a cause you believe in or a job that interests you. Your colleagues will be grateful, and favors will come your way when you need help in turn.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your charm and poise will make you stand out in a crowd. Social events or ceremonies will expose you to potential companions if you are looking for love. Enjoy the attention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Family problems are imminent.

Keep your cool. Follow through on promises you’ve made in order to make a good impression and be kept in the loop. Actions will speak louder than words.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t confine your activities to a set routine. Sign up for an unconventional experience. Consider trying

an exotic cooking or dance class, or learning a new language.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Liven up your surroundings.You will feel proud and fulfilled if you do the work yourself. To avoid pitfalls or opposition, you should be secretive about workplace events.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t put your social life on the back burner. Get out and laugh a little. Join a group that will let you show the lighter side of your personality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’re missing an important piece of the puzzle. Someone has misled you. You may have to take a roundabout route to get the answers you need. Proceed with caution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A needy family member will be very demanding. Don’t give too much of your time, energy or budget. You shouldn’t feel the need to finance someone else’s mistakes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Scrutinize your own behavior before lashing out at someone else.

Don’t start something you can’t finish or that could lead to conflict and regret. Look for positive options.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Fight off fatigue and lethargy. Don’t let depression or disinterest stand between you and an exciting event that could jump-start your vitality.

The first step is the hardest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You are spreading yourself too thin.

Be more selective in your choices.

If you want to stay healthy, you need to learn to say no once in a while.

Attorneys for Plaintiff, SHAPIRO & SUTHERLAND, LLC /s/. James A. Craft James A. Craft #090146 [jcraft@logs.com] 7632 SW Durham Road, Suite 350, Tigard, OR 97224 (360)260-2253; Fax (360)260-2285 PUBLISHED: The World- April 29, May06, 13 and 20, 2014 (ID-20251607)

BRIDGE John Buchan, a Scottish politician and novelist, whose most famous book was “The Thirty-Nine Steps,” said, “Every man at the bottom of his heart believes that he is a born detective.”

It helps if a bridge player is a detective, uncovering clues from the bidding and play. But another word in that sentence is important in today’s deal.

South is in three no-trump. West leads the spade queen. Given that the defenders can take only four tricks in spades, how should declarer plan to win the last nine?

South starts with six top tricks: four hearts, one diamond and one club. He needs to deduce that if the club finesse is losing, the contract is hopeless. But if that finesse is winning, he can rake in nine tricks: four hearts, one diamond and four clubs. So, on the fourth spade, declarer must discard his diamond queen.Yes, this risks going several down if the club finesse fails, but pitching a club instead would leave South needing both minor-suit finesses to work.

Then, after taking the fifth trick with his diamond ace, how should declarer continue?

He must realize that he might need to take the club finesse three times.

But he has only one dummy entry, in hearts, and he must stay in the dummy while repeating the club finesse.

This requires first leading the bottom card in dummy’s clubs that can hold the trick when East has the club king. South must lead first the club nine. When that holds, he runs the club jack. Then he plays a club to his queen and claims.

If declarer first leads dummy’s club jack, East can defeat the contract.

Work out how.
