discuss holding utilities responsible for the streets they disrupt

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

COOS BAY — As talks continue about how to pay for major infrastructure improvements, including fixing many Coos Bay roads, city

officials are considering a major policy shift when it comes to utilities doing work beneath those roads.

On Tuesday night, at their City Council meeting, they will have a public hearing regarding asphalt restoration after projects are completed in area roadways.

City Manager Rodger Craddock says the question is whether or not there should be consequences for utility installations.

“We’re looking at that, and talking to the council about enacting

some policies that prevent that, so that we can save our streets even more,” Craddock said. He made those comments after a recent community meeting at the Coos Bay library which was dealing with how to pay for the needed infrastructure improvements.

The city is currently facing a hefty price tag just to repair their damaged roads, possibly costing at least an estimated $50 million.

Pamela Rangel leads a group discussion about how to change unwanted behaviors at SHAMA House, a non-profit in North Bend that offers peer support classes for adults with mental illness.

Putting the focus on issues of mental health

INSIDE

NORTH BEND — She said she lost her job because of an illness that millions of people battle every day.

Pamela Rangel, a Navy veteran, said she was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder in 2002. She also was told she had bi-polar disorder in 2013.

Dealing with her illnesses cost her job at North Bend School District, she said.

“I don’t think they were used to working with someone with so many problems,” Rangel said.

Adding to the complications, she had her gall bladder removed and gastric bypass surgery, due to her high risk of esophageal cancer. The procedures make it difficult for her to process food and medicine.

“It’s a frustrating process,” Rangel said.

Finding the right combination of drugs

and counseling plagues many. It’s part of why many organizations, including Mental Health America and the National Alliance on Mental Health, declared May as Mental Health Month. They also want to break the stigma that may be attached to mental illness.

After losing her job, Rangel had to apply for Social Security. Luckily, she said she had “excellent benefits” through NBSD. She eventually was referred to Shama House, a place for social services, where she began volunteering as a peer support coordinator. It’s a far cry from her five-year stint in the Navy and other jobs, but it works for now.

“This has been my Godsend,” Rangel said.

She’s not able to work eight-hour days because her “anxiety gets too high,” so she works part-time for now. She recently was chosen to be a representative at the Oregon supported employment peer collaborative in Astoria. She will go to other peer-run

organizations to provide support for those who need it, she said.

Rangel said doctors weren’t sure how to help her, even though it’d been years since her first diagnosis.

“Which do you treat first?” she asked.

“Throwing gastric bypass on top of it really complicated things.”

She said her two kids, who were in junior high and high school when she was first diagnosed, were “not ones to ask a lot of questions,” so she didn’t have to explain herself to them at first. But, she said it still was difficult.

“It was a really rough period. It was hard on everyone,” Rangel said.

She said she talked herself into working.

“I make myself go to work,” Rangel said.

“I have to make myself do it.”

DEATHS

BY EMILY THORNTON

NORTH BEND — Students in a North Bend High AP history and literature class are frustrated and confused after school administrators pulled Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye” from their classroom last week.

On May 9, Dustin Hood and Scott Peters’ American Connections class started learning about post-World War II America. The class pairs history with literature, following literary movements in different eras. Peters complemented the history lesson with an assignment in postmodern literature: Read the first 30 pages of “The Bluest Eye” over the weekend.

“One of the trademarks of that literary movement is looking at the evils of humanity,” said Emily Midyette, a junior in the class.

The book deals with racism, incest and child molestation — topics that have gotten it challenged and banned in classrooms nationwide for years. It was the 15th most challenged book of the 2000s, according to the American Library Association. Just last fall, a group of citizens in a Colorado school district started a petition to remove the book and its “developmentally inappropriate and graphic content” from classroom instruction.

Peters prefaced the assignment by telling his class of 40 students about the controversial content. If they didn’t want to read it, they didn’t have to, he said. Six opted out and chose to read a different book.

But the following Monday, Principal Bill Lucero came to the class with a box and asked the rest of the students to hand over their copies of “The Bluest Eye.” Lucero said the school district’s policy, “Studying Controversial Issues,” was not followed. It requires teachers to discuss studies in “an obviously controversial topic” with the principal before the class can begin. All texts must be reviewed and approved by school administration every year “and it just went by without being reviewed and we didn’t SEE BOOK | A10

Wonnacott granted more time before trial

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

COQUILLE — The prosecution had the evidence in their possession from the beginning, but admittedly didn’t realize the extent of its worth. That discovery has created another change in trial dates for the former owner of a tattoo parlor in North Bend.

David Wonnacott’s trial on charges related to an incident in July 2013, where he is alleged to have tried to

kill a business rival, was set to start Tuesday. It has now been moved back to Aug. 19.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Mark Monson said that, as the prosecution was doing its due diligence to get prepared for trial, they found that a global positioning system found in Wonnacott’s possession at the time of his arrest carried more weight than originally anticipated.

“Apparently, it is recording all the time, whether it is on or its off,” Monson said

by phone on Monday.

“There was evidence we recovered and we intend to use it at trial.”

After the defense learned of the intent to utilize that evidence, defense attorney Mark Hendershott requested more time to prepare.

Wonnacott is alleged to have pulled up in a vehicle outside a competing North Bend tattoo business one morning, pulled a handgun and tried to shoot the owner.

The gun didn’t go off and the two men wrestled for the

weapon until the butt of the gun was brought down on the victim’s head. The suspect then reportedly fled.

Police later arrested Wonnacott at the Eugene Airport as he got off a plane returning from Nevada, apparently with that GPS device in his luggage.

He is charged with attempted murder, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, second-degree assault, two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, menacing, pointing

a firearm at another and reckless endangering. Two counts of tampering with a witness were added after he was in custody, when the prosecution say letters to another jail inmate indicated evidence of a conspiracy to keep witnesses from testifying.

Two of those charges, one for tampering and one for felon in possession of firearm, were later separated by the court. Wonnacott’s trial on those charges is still set to begin June 3, unless a late

agreement can be reached.

While not imminent, it is still possible.

“There is a chance of a plea that could resolve both cases,” Monson said, “but there are still a lot of moving parts out there that would have to come into line.”

Basically, he says, both sides and the court would have to agree, and the victims would have to be consulted before any agreement could be finalized.

The August trial is set to last four days.

He won a graphing calculator and a certificate from OSU’s science and math department.

Agency has named Coos Bay Rail Link as a new member in its SmartWay Transport Partnership program.

The EPA noted the rail line’s green standards, including improving fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

The rail line is the 19th rail carrier in the nation to become a SmartWay member, joining its sister railroad, San Pedro & Southwestern Railroad, in Benson, Ariz.

This recognition comes on the heels of the rail being named 2014 Short Line Railroad of the Year in March by railroad transportation industry trade publication Railway Age.

The state competition tests students in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, PreCalculus and Calculus.

Almost 11 years ago, Rosalie Willis began her EMS career.Approached by her neighbor, Fire Chief Terry Atkins, she was asked if she would be interested in volunteering on the ambulance. Speechless at first, she began asking numerous questions. Quickly she found out what she needed to accomplish before being able to volunteer to do such an amazing thing.

In June of 2003, she successfully completed her local First Responder course.

Enjoying her education, she decided to continue learning and completed her EMT Basic in June of 2004. She volunteered on a rural ambulance for 5 years.

In March of 2008, Rosalie was hired to work as a full-time employee at Bay Cities Ambulance in Coos Bay, Oregon.As a single mother of 4 young children, in the fall of 2008, she began her 4-year training to obtain her license as a Paramedic. In October of 2012, all of her hard work and education was rewarded, when she accomplished her goal and became a Nationally Certified Paramedic.

After 2 months of field training with Paramedics at Bay Cities Ambulance, she was released to work within the company as a Paramedic. Since that time, she has continued to strive for excellence in her work and her continuing personal education on the job.

Rosalie is now happily married and devotes her spare time at the ocean with her family. She is grateful to all of her friends, family and coworkers for their love and support throughout her career and training to become a paramedic.

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

Public participation deserves respect Our view Participation in public meetings is something to revere, not to cast aspersions on.

What do you think?

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

At city council or school board or county commissioner meetings, you’ve probably seen them. The people who are always there in the audience. Nearly every meeting, every work session, every public hearing.

They are regulars. Their faces become so familiar to our elected officials that often they are on first-name basis. Sometimes they take their three minutes and speak their piece, and it’s almost always critical. They question decisions on public spending, public policies, public processes. And they are in just about every city, town, township, county, parish and service district

across America.

Politicians, for the most part, don’t mind them at all.

They will probably know exactly what they will say at every meeting, and occasionally, the regulars may even make a point that the politician finds valid.

While this happens year round, all over the country, we remember it today for a couple of reasons.

For one, it’s an election day, when everyone who is registered to cast a ballot is expected to do so.

The other reason stems from a story last week in the Oregonian about our efforts to create our Community Enhancement Plan to man-

age the expect public revenue windfall should a liquefied natural gas plant be built here.

The Oregonian story gave an overview of the plan to readers unfamiliar with what we’ve been wrestling with here on the South Coast, and the honest disagreements we’ve been having as a community.

The story quoted one of the plan crafters talking about those who have been criticizing the plan. His choice of words were, no doubt, heart-felt, but, well, unfortunate. He characterized public meetings as venues allowing “every yahoo in the county an

opportunity to get up and snipe at us.”

We think it’s safe to say that “yahoo” reference was, at least in part, directed at the regulars we’ve just described. We also think it’s inaccurate. We would describe them differently: civic minded, concerned citizens, engaged voters, patriots.

Point is, it doesn’t matter why they come to every meeting. If nothing else, they are emphasizing the rights we all have to question authority and debate issues.

Nothing more American than that.

FOX and GOP not the same The curtain has dropped on the tale of Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher famous for refusing to pay grazing fees for use of public land. He became a hero to anti-government zealots who oddly failed to see this second helping of taxpayer largesse (the modest fees he didn’t pay already reflected a government subsidy) as the action of a taker, not a maker.

But Bundy provided an especially picturesque story custom-made for conservative Fox News. Here was a rancher on a horse, mad at the government and surrounded by a band of do-not-tread-on-me-or-myMedicare-benefits supporters.

Liberal cable networks are not above flogging minor stories with mind-freezing repetition. But Fox News Channel excels at the political freak show and is extra-careful not to bore viewers with facts.

Because both Fox and Republican politicians want to appeal to people who think themselves conservative, the politicos often think they are in the same business. They are not. Cable channels want viewers.

Politicians want voters.

Car wrecks attract spectators, not approval.

Thus, Fox can be a trap for serious Republicans. This is something many of my friends conservative understand and liberal ones, seeing Fox as a threat, do not.

Sen. Rand Paul, the FROMA Kentucky Republican and HARROP likely presidential candidate, thought he could get Columnist an easy Fox pat on the back by hopping on the Bundy stagecoach.

But just as he settled in to his seat, the horses broke away with the rancher’s primitive comments on race.

Paul quickly distanced himself from Bundy. So did Fox News host Sean Hannity, abruptly denouncing the remarks as “ignorant, racist, repugnant, despicable.” But they experienced very different outcomes from the story.

Paul had made the rookie mistake of prematurely embracing a right-wing passion du jour, without contemplating the possible downside. Anyone who spent 10 minutes considering Bundy’s radical anti-government rant would have recognized the great risk of far less popular views leaking out of the package. Paul showed bad judgment and saddled himself with Bundy quotes for years to come.

Hannity, by contrast, did just fine.

Whether Hannity was on the Bundy up escalator or the down escalator didn’t matter in gauging his metric for success. He rode the Bundy story to the top of the tea party hit charts. Then his vividly abandoning the rancher raked in more attention than did his previous support.

Several things happened. When Bundy’s daughter Shiree Bundy Cox accused Hannity of ditching her father to protect his ratings, she was right on both accounts. Yes, Hannity didn’t want to be associated with them, but yes, executing that about-turn in such gaudy fashion made Hannity himself the news for a cycle.

And some of his boost came courtesy of the liberal media. Wow, even Hannity couldn’t support Bundy anymore, they said with great self-satisfaction. They also took comfort in the repudiation as an attack on Hannity’s credibility, as though creditability were one of his most closely guarded treasures.

As the next presidential election gathers steam, Fox is on the hunt for more spectacle.

It will be Photoshopping the most ordinary controversies into lurid panoramas of injustice against the sort of people who tune in.

Again, liberal outlets have their brokenrecord tales of right-wing infamy, often accompanied by minimal reportage; there aren’t many Rachel Maddows out there, alas. But on whipping up the faithful, Fox News has no equal. And that’s not always good for the Republican side.

Let’s end waste in government I'm looking at a mail flyer sent to me to vote no on home rule charter Measure 8-76. There is no doubt that this is some input from our three commissioners to save their jobs, which they make

with benefits of about $240,000 a year, to do a part-time job with a full-time salary. Would it not be better to have five professional people make some important decisions for a county that needs financial help getting out of what it has gotten into. Vote YES on Measure 8-76, this has nothing to do with the right to vote.

Cast your vote for Beaman I have known Cynthia L. Beaman for 13 years, most of which I have either worked for or with her in her capacity as an attorney and judge in Coos and Curry counties. My experience has offered me numerous occasions to witness Judge Beaman, in the courtroom and out, interacting with attorneys and the public. I find her to be fair and compassionate. Her role as a

judge requires that she make unpopular decisions for the sake of following the law. I have observed her ability to do this but have also seen her talent for handing out compassion when it is needed.

My unique perspective of our legal system in Curry County has shown me the importance of broad experience on the bench.

Our judges are not limited to specific areas of law as in some larger districts but have to be experts in a large field of legal issues. Our small community judges need to be highly experienced and able to perform their duties quickly and efficiently, regardless of the type of case before them. I know Ms. Beaman to be capable in this way, as evidenced by her prior service on our behalf. I enthusiastically encourage you to support Cynthia L. Beaman as judge.

Afghan war draining U.S. taxpayers John F. Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), may have taken Uncle Sam and shaken him by the lapels last week, but the media missed it. Americans, however, need to hear how Sopko, in an address at the Middle East Institute in Washington,D.C.,laid out why Afghanistan remains “relevant” — and a cause for outrage — for every U.S. taxpayer and policymaker.

In short, Afghanistan is on life support, and Joe Citizen is its permanent IV. From your pockets, Uncle Sam has taken $103 billion to build Afghanistan — so far. By the way,that figure doesn’t include the costs of war-making. As Sopko says in the text of his speech, “that is more money than we have spent on reconstruction for any one country in the history of the United States.” That goes for the countries in Europe that American money rebuilt during the Marshall Plan after World War II. “We are spending more money this year on reconstruction in Afghanistan than we do for the next three countries combined,” Sopko continues, referring to Israel, Egypt and Pakistan.

Eighteen billion dollars are cur-

rently in the pipeline, he and says, between $6 and $10 billion is “promised for annually years to come.”

Why? Don’t ask. Your U.S. DIANA representative probably hasn’t. WEST T h e Columnist grotesque scale of all of this “aid” becomes even more striking on realizing that Afghans, per capita, earn $687 per year. Mammoth U.S. reconstruction programs thus place “a financial and operational burden on the Afghan economy that it simply cannot manage by itself,” as Sopko puts it. Consider that Afghanistan’s GDP in 2012 was approximately $20 billion. “That same year,” Sopko says, “U.S. reconstruction funding amounted to $15 billion — 75 percent of Afghanistan’s GDP.” For example, the projected costs of supporting Afghan security forces come to $5 to $6 billion per year, Sopko says.

Meanwhile, there are civil ser-

vants to pay, and roads, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure that, of course, require more money to be maintained. Where is that money supposed to come from? From U.S. taxpayers, of course. Sopko calls us “international donors,” but “international debtors” is more like it.

Just think about the fact that the inspector general even has to articulate such a basic premise in the first place. It suggests that the U.S. government did not consider the ability of Afghanistan, one of the world’s poorest countries, to sustain the gargantuan projects and programs Uncle Sam was using — let’s be real — to bribe Afghans out of supporting the “insurgency.” Thus, Afghanistan becomes U.S. taxpayers’ latest federal entitlement program.

“Second,” he says, “reconstruction in a conflict zone is inherently risky.”

Really? You mean it’s not like building a skyscraper in Manhattan — as the Bush and Obama administrations appear to have believed? The U.S. “reconstruction” strategy (and I use quotation marks because in Afghanistan’s case, “reconstruction” was usually first-time

construction) was this: On seeing the infidel’s generous and fabulous “nation-building” intentions,the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan would instantly and overwhelmingly turn against and work against the local Islamic “insurgency.”

For many reasons, a significant number of which are Islamic, this didn’t happen — no matter how much infrastructure, programs and stacks of cash Uncle Sam passed around. Meanwhile, we also believed if we ignored or, worse, accommodated and submitted to the role Islam plays in shaping, guiding, characterizing Afghan culture — if we just turned a blind eye to Islamic laws against freedom of speech and freedom of religion, to culturally permitted pederasty, to Islamically correct child marriage and abuse of women — then the Afghans would, too.

Keep the money flowing — and never mind the endemic corruption in Afghanistan that SIGAR John Sopko has been uncovering.

Congressional oversight will get to the bottom of this reckless mess.

Oops, I forgot — only real democracies have that.

State Dozens wed after ruling on gay marriage ban

Guest marks his territory, but in the wrong bathroom DEAR ABBY: My husband has a male co-worker, “Bo,” who comes to our house occasionally. We have two bathrooms, one of which is in our bedroom. The other is the guest bathroom.

When Bo needs to use the restroom, he goes into our bedroom and uses ours. He never asks; he just goes in, even after I have pointed out the guest bathroom. It creeps me out. I feel like he’s DEAR invading my personal space, and I think it’s rude.

What can I do, since pointing out the guest bathroom hasn’t JEANNE worked? Bo PHILLIPS is intimidating. He thinks he can do whatever he wants. Please tell me what I can do. — CREEPED OUT IN GREENVILLE DEAR CREEPED OUT: I agree your husband’s coworker’s behavior is creepy.

If you have medications in your bathroom, you should check to be sure he isn’t helping himself to some of them when he visits.

Because you can’t seem to convey the message to “Bo the Boor,” before his next visit, ask your husband to tell him that guests are supposed to use the guest bathroom.

And if that doesn’t discourage him, install a lock on your bedroom door.

DEAR ABBY: My 21-yearold daughter, “Alex,” and her 6-year-old moved into an apartment with her 18-yearold boyfriend. We had a tough time accepting this, but I make do because I love Alex and want to be part of her life.

My boyfriend of eight years, “Niles,” can’t accept new daughter’s my boyfriend. We were invited over for dinner and Niles refused to go.

How do I handle this? I feel all future events will be strained and I’ll be forced to choose between my daughter and Niles. Please advise. — SAD MOTHER IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SAD MOTHER: Tell Niles that if you must choose between him and your daughter, you will choose your daughter. Her romance may — or may not — last forever, but your relationship with her will. There is nothing to be gained by punishing her and alienating her young man. If Niles has a problem with that, do not let him make it your problem, too.

Continue your relationship with your daughter and see Niles separately.

DEAR ABBY: Today is my 50th birthday. I’m a person with a few close friends, but I’m not widely social.

The members of my book club knew it was my birthday when we met a few days ago.

I had mentioned it before our meeting. Nothing was said when we met.

My best friend is going on vacation and hasn’t remembered. My husband asked me what plans I had made for us to do today. My sister, bless her, has been wonderful and feels responsible to try to make this day special for me.

Is it really my job to plan a celebration and remind everyone I’m close to? I have talked enough about how important this particular birthday is to me. I’m hurt that no one feels I’m worth the effort. Am I making too big a deal out of this? — VEXED IN VERMONT DEAR VEXED: I think so.

My dear mother used to say, “If you want something done right, do it yourself!” That’s good advice when those around you are too preoccupied to be as nurturing as you would like them to be.

Matthew Friday, center left, exchanges wedding vows with Bruce Carlson as United Methodist Pastor Warren Light officiates during a ceremony at Davis Restaurant in Eugene, Monday. The couple, who have been together for 28 years, were the first gay couple to receive a marriage license in Lane County after the court ruling today.

PORTLAND (AP) — Dozens of gay and lesbian couples are now legally married in Oregon after a judge invalidated the state’s voterapproved ban on same-sex marriage.

Jubilant couples began applying for marriage licenses immediately after U.S. District Judge Michael McShane issued his ruling Monday, and many were married hours later. In Portland, Multnomah

County issued more than 70 licenses, according to the gay-rights group Oregon United for Marriage.

Also Monday, a federal judge in Utah ordered state officials to recognize more than 1,000 gay marriages that took place in the state over a two-week period before the U.S. Supreme Court halted same-sex weddings with an emergency stay.

U.S. District Judge Dale

Kimball said the stay put the couples in an unacceptable legal limbo regarding adoptions, child care and custody, medical decisions and inheritance.

But he put a 21-day hold on his ruling to allow the state a chance to appeal.

The Oregon decision marks the 13th legal victory for gay marriage advocates since the Supreme Court last year overturned part of a federal ban.

Crabber probe: Vessel owner, captain cited STATE PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon State Police say two men have been cited in an investigation of illegal crabbing off Cape Falcon along the north coast of Oregon.

In a statement Monday, the police said the investigation began in December and led investigators to recover more than 150 crab pots this month, many with rotting crabs or crab parts.

The police identified the owner of the fishing vessel Valkyrie as 34-year-old Aron Steinbach of Bay City and said he was accused of several violations, including not having tags for buoys and pots, setting crab pots for more than 14 days without taking them in, and wasting the crab.

Police say a man who had once been captain of the 30-year-old Valkyrie, Thomas White of Nehalem, was cited for not having a commercial fishing license.

Fix is years away for crash-prone beltline EUGENE (AP) — State traffic planners are working

on long-range fixes for a stretch of the Randy Pape Beltline around north Eugene. But they say it’s going to be at least a decade off, and no source has been identified to pay for a job expected to cost up to $270 million in today’s dollars.

The Eugene RegisterGuard reports the stretch over spans crossing the Willamette River is one of the most crash-prone in Oregon as urban development has enveloped it.

Police: Man stabbed, killed at apartment GRESHAM (AP) — Gresham, police have identified a man stabbed to death in an apartment. They say a 33-year-old woman has been arrested.

Police say 32-year-old Stephen Markeith Delarose of California was found with fatal stab wounds when officers responded at about 3 a.m. Monday. His hometown was not immediately available. arrested Detectives Latoya Gilbert for investiga-

D I G E S T tion of murder. They say Gilbert and Delarose were in a domestic relationship and both lived at the apartment.

Police say they aren’t looking for any other suspects.

Grand jury: Officer justified in shooting SALEM (AP) — A Marion County, grand jury says a Salem police officer was justified in fatally shooting a 46-year-old man who had refused orders to drop a 12inch knife and lunged at the officer with the weapon.

Deputy District Attorney Amy Queen says the grand jury listened to nine witnesses, including the wife of Michael Conley, the man who died April 30. The grand jury ruled Monday in the case of Officer David Baker.

Police had responded to a 911 call from Heidi Conley, who said her husband was armed with a knife and not

Man makes hundreds of sidewalk complaints PORTLAND (AP) — Contractors are busy repairing sidewalks in Portland’s Irvington neighborhood in response to hundreds of complaints, even though some residents say the sidewalks weren’t that bad.

KGW reports it made a public records request and found out that most complaints were made by one man — 300 in April alone.

City Bureau of spokesTransportation woman Diane Dulken says it doesn’t matter who makes a complaint. The city ensures that sidewalks don’t pose a hazard to the public. The city forces homeowners to pay

for the repairs.

The man making all the complaints wouldn’t explain his motive to KGW, but some neighbors suspect he’s a contractor looking to drum up work.

Students at arts school protest math PORTLAND (AP) — Some students at a Portland magnet school for the arts are protesting the addition of more math and science classes.

About three-dozen students walked out Monday at noon at Da Vinci Arts Middle School in northeast Portland. They said the change proposed by the principal would take time away from language and social studies classes and change the feel of the magnet arts school.

One student who didn’t skip class told KATU that it didn’t make sense to protest your education by not getting one.

A meeting about curriculum changes is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight at the school.

For some veterans new target: Wildfire fighter KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — When Tim Gibilisco left the Army and his job as a sniper 12 years ago, the transition to civilian life didn’t go smoothly — until he strapped on a 45-pound backpack, carried it 3 miles in less than 45 minutes and passed the test to become a federal wildfire fighter.

Gibilisco is now a squad leader of a Bureau of Land Management fire crew based in Klamath Falls that was created in 2012 as part of a program funded by the Obama administration to put veterans back to work, the Klamath Falls Herald and News reports.

“With an infantry skill set, there aren’t a lot of civilian jobs available,” Gibilisco said.

“Fire kind of bridged that gap,” he said. “There’s a mission. There’s a plan. There’s a sequence. There’s some importance to what you are doing. You’re not just arbitrarily wandering around through life.”

Nine of the 10 firefighters at the Klamath Falls office are military veterans, said crew supervisor Mike McGirr. As the fire season picks up, he predicts the crew will swell to 25, with as many as 18 members being former military.

McGirr said former explosive technicians have developed a new protocol for fuel removal, and several crew members with combat medical training have improved the agency’s medical protocols.

Nation NATIONAL For Obama, a 2nd-term focus on following through D I G E S T Candidates scramble in Georgia ATLANTA (AP) — Heading into a busy primary day, Republicans around the country are pleading with voters to turn out in highprofile races that will help determine which party controls the Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama’s tenure.

And a top Democratic Senate hopeful has her own scrambling to do as she juggles the political realities of Obama’s health care overhaul in a state Republicans control.

In an interview with NBC News leading up to her expected primary victory Tuesday, Georgia’s Michelle Nunn refused to say how she would have voted on the Affordable Care Act if she were a senator in 2010. She later tried to clarify her remarks, but still didn’t answer the question.

Aide ‘dumbfounded’ by traffic plot TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A former aide to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he is “dumbfounded and disappointed” that a few rogue Christie loyalists shut down traffic in a political payback plot.

The former aide, Matt Mowers, is testifying before New Jersey lawmakers investigating the scandal that’s engulfed Christie’s administration.

He says he wasn’t involved in the plot. worked in Mowers Christie’s office and on last year’s re-election campaign.

He is now the executive director of New Hampshire’s Republican Party.

‘Shield’ actor arrested in wife’s death LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on the hit TV show “The Shield,” was arrested on suspicion of homicide after his wife was found shot to death in their Los Angeles home, authorities said.

Police arrived at the couple’s home in the Hyde Park neighborhood around 8:30 p.m. Monday after a report of shots fired, Officer Chris No said.

April Jace, 40, was found dead inside, officials said.

Michael Jace was taken into custody and booked early Tuesday on suspicion of homicide, No said. He was being held in a Los Angeles jail in lieu of $1 million bail.

Calls from The Associated Press seeking comment from Jace’s agent and manager not immediately were returned Tuesday.

Stocks edge higher after drifting in trade Stocks finished slightly higher Monday, adding to the small gains the market carved out at the end of last week.

A dearth of fresh economic data had many investors focusing on headline-grabbing corporate deals, including a $48.5 billion bid

by AT&T to acquire satellite TV provider DirecTV and a joint venture between Johnson Controls and a Chinese company that will form the world’s largest maker of automotive interiors.

The latest batch of deals is a good sign for the market and further illustrates that many companies have the financial ammunition and appetite to grow through acquisitions.

Obama to host CEOs investing in US WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is hosting executives from 11 foreign and U.S.-based companies that have chosen to open new plants or relocate overseas operations in the United States. The gathering Tuesday is designed to illustrate growing interest in the United States by firms capable of creating high-paying jobs.

Obama is showcasing the effect of an improving economy on job growth during a congressional election year that finds the public still anxious about employment and financial wellbeing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Burned by the failed rollout of his health care law, President Barack Obama is seeking to build a team for the final years of his administration where management expertise may trump keen political or legislative skills.

Gone from the White House are nearly all of the high-profile political gurus who ran Obama’s two presidential campaigns. In their place are mostly lesserknown figures who have spent years in government, often in the type of policy implementation jobs that only make the news when something goes wrong.

The shift is in part an indication of the White House’s low expectations for passing new legislation in a second term, even if Democrats manage to keep control of the Senate in the midterm elections. It also shows recognition by the White House that a repeat of the management failures and policy implementation problems that plagued the health care rollout could have dire consequences for the president.

“There’s no question that one of the lessons of health care is the need for greater focus on implementation,” said Dan Pfeiffer, Obama’s senior adviser. “We want to structure the White House in a way that allows that best to happen.”

That nuts-and-bolts approach may be a long way from the days when Obama campaigned as the champion of hope and change and

President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks in the White House briefing room in Washington. urged Washington to do big things. But it comes as the White House faces another deepening political problem that raises questions about administration management, this time at the Veterans Affairs Department.

Republicans and Democrats alike have voiced anger over troubling allegations of preventable deaths and treatment delays at VA hospitals around the country. While Obama is so far standing by VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, officials say there is urgency in getting the matter under control.

As it seeks to shore up its response, the White House is turning to the same playbook it used during the health care

enrollment debacle, when Obama dispatched longtime aide Jeffrey Zients to the Health and Human Services Department to oversee efforts to fix the woeful HealthCare.gov website.

Obama made a similar move last week, temporarily assigning deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors to the VA to lead an internal review of agency policies.

While Nabors and Zients are relatively unknown outside of Washington, both are seen as strong managers who also have the president’s trust. While it’s too early to know the results of Nabors’ efforts at the VA, Zients’ stint at HHS was largely deemed a success, with the website becoming opera-

tional ahead of key enrollment deadlines and sign-ups ultimately exceeding expectations.

Obama’s advisers are also seeking to apply that rapid response mentality to daily operations at the White House.

That effort got underway earlier this year when Obama brought on John Podesta, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, as a senior counselor. Podesta is charged specifically with overseeing the implementation of Obama’s sweeping executive action plans for tackling climate change, an effort officials say rivals the complexity of the health law’s implementation.

And on Friday, the White

Cyber case puts strain on US-China relations

Text 911: Calling for help without making a call MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Sometimes a voice call to 911 just won’t work, such as for deaf people in need of help or in certain domestic violence cases.

Now, in a big step toward moving the nation’s emergency dispatch system out of voice-only technology that dates to the 1960s, four major wireless phone companies are providing the services to local governments that want it and have the capability to use it.

Local governments in 16 states are using it, according to the Federal Communications Commission, and Vermont became the first to offer the technology statewide Monday.

The four major providers — Sprint, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and AT&T — voluntarily committed to providing the service by May 15. The FCC has required all service providers to offer it by the end of the year.

Brian Fontes, the chief executive officer of the Virginia-based National Emergency Number Association, said the four major carriers offering textto-911 is “a big deal.”

He said that 911 texting is part of a broader push to use technology to enhance the information that can be proemergency vided to responders and to put emergency call centers on an equal footing with the technology many people carry in

their pockets.

Some professional sports teams already allow fans to report unruly behavior inside stadiums and arenas through texting, while law enforcement has started using text messaging during standoff negotiations.

“It’s been a long time — years, decades — since our nation’s 911 systems have been advanced,” Fontes said.

“They are pretty much still almost 100 percent voicecentric, 1960s technology.”

The FCC tells people to limit texts for help to circumstances when voice calls can’t be made, such as for the deaf or hard of hearing, or in domestic violence cases or at other times when it’s not safe to speak.

Black Hawk County, Iowa, became the first to use text 911 in June 2009, said Judy Flores, director of the consolidated communication center for Black Hawk County, located in Waterloo.

“It’s worked great,” Flores said, adding that Iowa is expected to expand the service statewide within the next few weeks.

The text-to-911 service is now limited to text only — photos, videos and location information will have to wait for the next generation of the technology.

Fontes said he expected the use of text-to-911 would grow, but he can’t say how fast. Vermont is one of the

House promoted Kristie Canegallo, who has held multiple behind-the-scenes policy posts at the White House and Pentagon, to deputy chief of staff. She’s been given a broad mandate that includes overseeing the continued implementation of the health care law, as well as management oversight of education policies and the drawdown of the Afghanistan war.

Dana Perino, who served as press secretary in George W. Bush’s second term, welcomed the Obama team’s effort to shore up its implementation, casting it as a challenge that every White House grapples with.

“The government is so big and there are so many things happening that you really have to have your eyes on every ball all at once,” Perino said. “And you might drop one.”

Of course, the legislative landscape in Washington is driving the White House’s focus on implementation as much as anything else.

Faced with steady opposition from the Republican-led House, Obama has struggled to pass even routine legislation through Congress. Sweeping measures like an immigration overhaul are a long shot between now and the November elections. And with Washington already turning quickly to the 2016 elections, the prospects for immigration or other big legislation may be no better after the midterms.

Credit Suisse case called warning to foreign banks WASHINGTON (AP) — Credit Suisse AG’s guilty plea and $2.6 billion payment in a high-profile case brought by the Justice Department are being held out as a warning to foreign banks believed to be helping U.S. taxpayers conceal assets.

The country’s oldest bank, Wegelin & Co., pleaded guilty in January 2013 to U.S. tax charges, admitting that it helped American clients hide more than $1.2 billion from the IRS. In the Credit Suisse case, officials said a criminal charge was necessary to account for the bank’s pattern of misconduct, which included a lack of cooperation and document destruction. But the deal was structured in such a way as to allow the bank to continue operating.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The indictment of five Chinese military officials on cyber espionage charges will intensify friction between Beijing and Washington that has been growing as China gets bolder in asserting its territorial claims in disputed seas in East Asia.

That doesn’t mean there will be a fracture in the U.S.China relationship, which remains vital for both of the world powers, but it raises major doubts about the ability of U.S. and China to manage their differences.

“This adds to the mounting list of hugely problematic issues between the U.S. and China,” said Jonathan Pollack, a specialist on East Asian politics and security at the Brookings Institution think tank. “Barring a level of candor and disclosure from China on some of these issues that we haven’t seen to date, it seems to me we’re heading for very troubled waters.”

China reacted swiftly to the indictment that accuses the military officials of hacking big-name American makers of nuclear and solar technology. It rejected the allegations as “ungrounded and absurd” and denied its military or government personnel had ever participated in cyber theft of trade secrets. On Tuesday, China warned the United States was jeopardizing military ties and demanded Washington withdraw the indictment.

China also pulled out of working discussions on cyber security — an issue that loomed large when President Barack Obama met last June with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

That summit, held in California, was intended to set a positive tone for the relationship, what Beijing likes to call a “new model of great power relations.” But the cracks in that model are already showing.

The two governments have tried, with limited success, to find common cause in resisting North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons. They made strides last year toward negotiating a bilateral investment treaty that would deepen an economic relationship in which two-way trade already exceeds $560 billion.

DILBERT

A simple solution for gross, smelly towels If my inbox is any indicator of what’s going on in the world, and I believe it is, smelly towels are a growing problem for consumers — and for sure EC readers. And it’s a rather new problem, the result of modern things such as front-loading high-efficiency washing machines, detergents, fabric softeners and damp conditions. If you’ve noticed EVERYDAY the gross CHEAPSKATE smell of s t i n k y, albeit a p p ea r ing to be washed, dried and ready to go, perh a p s you’ve Mary a l s o Hunt noticed that your towels have begun to repel rather than absorb water.

S M E L L . That moldy, mildewy, gross smell? It’s the result of the buildup of detergents and fabric softeners that have not been rinsed out properly, together with damp, moist conditions.

What you have there is a breeding ground for bacteria.

No wonder you’ve got a big gross smelly laundry problem.

A B S O R B E N C Y . If your towels have stopped doing what they’re supposed to do well — absorb water — that problem stems from the same source: Detergent and fabric softener buildup. Seriously!

With detergent and laundry, more is decidedly not better.

SCIENCE. You are going to use white vinegar and baking soda to fix this skanky problem once and for all. But not together. This will be a two-step process. Vinegar contains acetic acid that breaks down mineral deposits and dissolves the build up of detergent and fabric softeners. Baking soda is alkali and breaks down dirt and grease and neutralizes odors. Used together they counteract one another. For this process we want them to do their work independently.

This will strip the residue and leave them fresh and able to absorb more water again.

WASH No. 1: Load towels into the washer loosely, set it for a long wash cycle and fill with the hottest water you can manage. Turn the water heater up to 140F for this event. Or boil water on the stovetop then carefully transport it to the washer.

The point is that the water must be very hot to kill the bacteria. Add two cups of white vinegar to the load.

Allow it to run the entire cycle and then leave the towels in the washer.

W A S H N o . 2 : Fill the machine once more with the hottest water possible. This time add 1 cup baking soda.

Run the entire cycle.

DRY COMPLETELY. Whether you hang the towels outdoors or put them in the dryer, make sure they are completely and thoroughly dry. Now smell them. If they do not smell fabulously clean, repeat Wash No. 1 and Wash No. 2 as necessary until the smell is completely gone.

The investment you’ve made in these towels makes them worth the effort.

M A I N T E N A N C E . Find your owner manual and discover the exact amount of detergent you should be using in your washing machine. Measure it every time. Never add more than recommended, especially if you have an HE machine that uses very little water. Never use softening products on your towels — liquid softener or dry sheets. They coat the fibers with a thin layer of chemicals, which make towels less absorbent and prone to produce buildup. Instead, 1 add ⁄2 cup white vinegar to the last rinse. This will get out the last of the detergent that causes towels to become scratchy, and prevent that horrid product buildup that can turn smelly. Always dry towels thoroughly before folding and storing them away.

Next week: How to clean that bacteria-laden appliance you call a washing machine.

Thailand’s army declares martial law BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s powerful military chief intervened Tuesday for the first time in the country’s latest political crisis,declaring martial law and dispatching gun-mounted jeeps into the heart of the capital with a vow to resolve the deepening conflict as quickly as possible.

The move stopped short of a coup and left the nation’s increasingly cornered caretaker government intact, along with the constitution.

Life continued normally with residents unfazed by the news, which follows six months of crippling protests that killed 28 people and injured more than 800.

But the intervention left the country at another precarious crossroads — its fate now squarely in the hands of the military.

“The key going forward will be the military’s role in politics,” said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University. “If they play the role of enforcer of law and order and even mediator ... this could be a resolution to the impasse.”

But if they don’t, “we can expect protests and turmoil

from the losing side.”

the military was acting to prevent street clashes between political rivals, and that it would “bring back peace and order to the beloved country of every Thai as soon as possible.”

Speaking to reporters later, Prayuth said martial law would last until “there is stability,” and that it was needed to force the two sides to talk about a solution.

“Don’t worry,” he said.

“Everything will still go on normally. (We) will try not to violate human rights — too much.”

Acting Prime Minister N i w a t t u m r o n g Boonsongpaisan called an emergency Cabinet meeting at an undisclosed location.

Afterward, he issued a brief statement saying only that the government hopes the military action will “bring peace back to the people of every group and every side.”

Ukraine faces Russia with a crippled navy ODESSA, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s navy is in Odessa’s harbor, though it can be hard to spot.

It’s tucked behind a collection of storage tanks and overshadowed by immense cargo vessels docked nearby.

There are a couple dozen boats, few much larger than a decent-sized yacht and many in desperate need of repair.

The government is begging the public to help pay their bills.

This is what’s left of Ukraine’s fleet since Russia the Crimean annexed Peninsula two months ago, taking with it the navy’s key base and most of its ships.

Building collapse study in media control SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — When a South Korean ferry sank with hundreds trapped inside last month, the whole world knew about it. But in North Korea, there was utter silence about the collapse of a 23-story apartment building for five days, until state media issued a rare apology.

The North is not a black hole for information. More than 2 million people have cellphones. Hundreds of foreigners live in Pyongyang, the showcase capital where the collapse occurred a week ago Tuesday. A handful of international news bureaus, including The Associated Press, operate there, and the city sees a steady procession of visiting tourists, academics and diplomats.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An investigation of a fatal West Bank clash between Israeli forces and Palestinian stonethrowers indicates that troops used live fire without justification and in violation of the army’s rules of engagement, an Israeli human rights group said Tuesday.

Two Palestinian teens were killed and one was wounded in last week’s confrontation.

Palestinian hospital officials have said the three were shot in the upper body by live rounds.

The Israeli military has denied live fire was used in last Thursday’s clash on the outside of the West Bank town of Beitouniya and that troops only shot rubbercoated metal pellets. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a senior army spokesman, said an investigation is continuing.

The rights group B’Tselem said its findings are based on witness accounts and medical records. Spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli said security camera footage of the incident that surfaced late Monday supports the group’s findings.

The video, which had a Thursday time stamp, cap-

tures two moments that purportedly show the fatal shootings.

In the first, a figure with a backpack walks across a street toward a group of others standing next to a wall.

Suddenly, he slumps to the ground. One hour and 13 minutes later, another figure crosses the street from the opposite direction and also falls to the ground.

The video does not show the source of the gunfire or the shooter.

An Associated Press cameraman and a stills photographer who were at the scene confirmed that the scenes in the video show the fatal shootings.

The owner of the security camera, Fakher Zayed, also confirmed the authenticity of the footage. Zayed said he was watching the events from his balcony.

He said they began when several dozen Palestinians threw stones toward Israeli troops who were dozens of meters (yards) away. He said that at the time of the fatal shooting, the stone-throwers had already pulled backed.

At a central Athens hotel, Golden Dawn presented candidates for this week’s European Parliament elections who would have looked out of place a few months ago: Lawyers, entrepreneurs, and university lecturers, the women seated at the front.

If passed, the new policy would officially place a three-year moratorium on cutting freshly paved roads.

Hossley says emergencies can crop up, so the policy would also expand the repair work required after a trench was created. The utility would have to repave the entire width of the road where the trench was created.

BOOKS Officials OK’d book purchase Continued from Page A1 realize that,” he said.

The purchase of the books was approved by administration earlier this year, Peters said.

While he agreed that technically the policy wasn’t followed, he said very few are aware the policy even exists.

“That’s not why it was pulled,” Peters said. “And certainly the way in which it was pulled was not by policy either.”

Lucero said a committee read the book to “make sure it was right for our school and community.”

“We took a look at the book in the committee and decided we weren’t going to use that book this year,” he said. “We will have some further discussion as to whether to use it in the future or not.”

Assistant high school principal Jake Smith said there are “other options, other books that were available that portrayed the message the teacher was hoping to portray ... something that was more acceptable at school and more mild in terms of some of the content.”

Lucero contended the book is “pretty graphic.”

which includes the water board and even the city itself, to do their repair work. However, Hossley says it could end up being a financial savings in the long run, as it will do a better job of protecting the utilities beneath the road from the elements while ensuring that the roads remain in better condition.

Coos Bay residents can get further details on the proposal, and weigh in on that question, during the public hearing at the Tuesday meeting. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at Coos Bay Council Chambers, 500 Central Ave.

After three years, and for older existing roads, the repaving would only have to cover the lane in which the trench was created.

Either way, it is an upward departure from the trench repairs that currently are creating some bumpy rides for motorists.

“The problem with the trench is that it creates opportunities for moisture to get in the area of the trench and create settling,” Hossley said. “The new policy would make for a better driving surface for folks using the road.”

He says that, on the down side, it will make it more expensive for the utilities,

physical subject matter and it’s going to be controversial,” Peters said. “One defining characteristic of postmodern literature is shock. Another is aspiration of marginalized groups.”

The book examines the marginalization of African Americans, the poor, women and victims of sexual assault.

Elizabeth Rivera, a parent of a student in the class, agreed the book deserves a trigger warning — which the students received.

“I’m not going to sugar coat it. This book is not Dr. Seuss,” Rivera said. “It’s a heart-wrenching novel. But for me, the main argument is that precisely because of its hard themes there is a ... benefit to this discussion in an academic context.

“Removal of a text like that from a student’s hand is very problematic.”

Before Peters, previous teachers used “Catcher in the Rye” during this section of the class. But it’s written by a white male, as are all the other books in the class.

“I felt like it was irresponsible to teach a whole course ... all consisting of literature by white men,” he said.

The class has had to move on. Each student picked a book on their own — so Midyette chose another Morrison novel that’s been challenged and banned: “Beloved.” It’s the 26th most challenged book in the

nation.

“Censorship is something we’ve struggled with as a nation for so long,” Midyette said. “It’s very disappointing to see it here in our own community.

“It’s really frustrating to students because we had all been given the choice to read it. We felt our choice had been taken away.”

The Oregon Department of Education has given “The Bluest Eye” the go-ahead, selecting it for its list of texts that meet the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.

In response to the debacle, By The Bay Books (Midyette’s father owns the bookstore) put both “The Bluest Eye” and “Beloved” on sale last week.

“I think that I have been characterized as trying to shake up the North Bend community, which is not my intention,” Peters said. “I’m just trying to do what I’ve been asked to do, which is teach a unit on postmodern American literature. I don’t know how to do that without choosing a piece of postmodern American literature.”

Oregon State hires Montana hoops coach

BY JESSE SOWA Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — Oregon State has its new men’s basketball coach.

Wayne Tinkle, Montana’s head coach the previous eight seasons, becomes the next man in line to try to get the Beavers back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1990.

OSU announced the hiring of Tinkle, who took the Grizzlies to the NCAA tournament three times, via email Monday evening.

Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis called Tinkle’s hiring “a new era in Beaver men’s basketball of regularly competing within the top echelon of the Pac-12 for the conference championship and for postseason NCAA competition.”

“The more I went through the process, the more recommendations I received about coach Tinkle,” added De Carolis, whose search took two weeks.

“His success on the basketball court as a coach and player is well documented, but even more so, I was impressed with his demeanor, family and philosophy. I think he is a perfect fit for our basketball program, Oregon State University, the community and this state.”

Tinkle, 48, will be introduced during a Wednesday press conference.

He replaces Craig Robinson, who was fired earlier this month after six seasons.

In eight seasons at Montana, Tinkle was 158-91 overall and 97-39 in Big Sky Conference play.

The Grizzlies won 21 or more games during a four-year stretch (2010-13) that

included three trips to the NCAA tournament and reaching four consecutive Big Sky postseason tournament finals.

The Big Sky coach of the year in 2012 and 2013, Tinkle was also an assistant on three Montana teams that reached the NCAA tournament during his five years in that position.

“It’s a great day to be a Beaver. Go, Beavs,” Tinkle said in a video clip from Oregon State on Twitter that shows him signing his contract with his family in Montana.

The hiring is contingent upon passing a customary background check, OSU’s release stated.

OSU center Daniel Gomis,who will be a junior this coming season, said the past few weeks were difficult for the team.

Cuzzort has high hopes for state

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — Last year, after losing in the state finals to Oregon Episcopal School, North Bend doubles partners Taylor Cuzzort and Hannah Schandelmeier-Lynch both spent the two-hour trip back from Eugene, getting over the loss in their own, personal ways.

Schandelmeier-Lynch replayed her final shot over and over again in her head, listening to some heavy rap music to let out some aggression. Cuzzort took a less active approach and slept it off.

A year later and headed back to state, they’re trying to make sure they don’t go through that long, disappointing ride again Saturday.

about it,” Cuzzort said during a practice at North Bend on Monday. “It’s just one of those things you have to forget and it’ll be easier cause we’ll be at a new spot. No bad memories.”

Schandelmeier-Lynch and Cuzzort

lead a North Bend squad that will have three doubles teams and lone singles player Keaten Baker trying to take that next step and win state in Corvallis starting Thursday. They will be accompanied by boys doubles teams Brigham Baker and Jacob Gage along with James Jordan and Stewart Lyons.

Cuzzort, North Bend’s only senior heading to state, qualifed for the third straight season. Her sophomore year, she paired up with Quinlyn Demming, losing a three-set match to the No. 2 seed and then winning a consolation match before being eliminated. Last year she and then-freshman SchandelmeierLynch were the No. 4 seed and advanced to the final before falling to Hannah Huston and Cassy Lemette in a threeset match.

THE WORLD The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s golf team finished second Monday in its effort to repeat as NWAACC golf champion.

Spokane took the team title with a two-day total of 577, shooting 289 in the first round and 288 in the second.

The Lakers shot 299 in the first round and 300 in the second and ended up tied with Olympic for second place.

But because the Lakers had a better top golfer, they brought home the second-place trophy.

Reedsport graduate Montana Frame tied for the low round of the day Monday with a 69 at Horn Rapids Golf Club in Richmond, Wash. That gave Frame a two-day total of 145 that was fifth overall. Teammate Cole Chavez was two strokes back at 147, followed by Reyn Morioka at 153, Tyler Swinton at 154, Trey Udy at 162 and Garrett Ramsey at 166.

The Lakers had hoped to win their second straight title.

“They were a little disappointed, but we gave up too many strokes the first day,” said SWOCC coach Ray Fabien. “They played their hearts out. It was very competitive.”

Spokane’s Brady Calkins had a 138 to take medalist honors by six strokes.

Fabien already is looking ahead.

“We’ll be back next year. Montana and Garrett will return and I have a few good kids coming in,” he said, adding the team shouldn’t feel bad about the conclusion to the season.

“We had a fantastic season,” Fabien said. “We won our tournament at home that we haven’t won in years.”

The SWOCC women finished fifth in the team race, which was easily won by Columbia Basin on Monday.

SWOCC’s Alexandra McQuarrie finished fifth individually with a two-day total of 170 after shooting an 82 in the second round.

Brittany Banks finished 16th at 186 and Natalie Fleck was 21st at 199, with a 13-shot improvement in her second round to 93.

Pacific senior shines in new event

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

LANGLOIS — Riley Engdahl has what she describes as a love-hate relationship with the hurdles.

The Pacific senior has emerged this year as one of the top hurdlers in Class 1A heading into this week’s state meet at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Pacific’s Riley Engdahl has emerged as one of the top hurdlers in Class 1A this spring.

State Track Meet Where: Hayward Field, Eugene When: Thursday-Saturday Class 3A-2A-1A Thursday-Friday Class 4A-5A-6A Friday-Saturday Daily Admission: $10 adults, $5 students

“I really like the 100 hurdles — it’s only 100 meters,” Engdahl said. “The 300 hurdles, those kick my butt because of the distance.”

Engdahl spent the first three years of her high school career as a sprint specialist, rarely competing at anything over 200 meters. She competed in each of the two hurdles races twice last spring.

This year, she finally followed the urgings of Pacific coach Ben Stallard and gave the hurdles a whole-hearted chance.

“I’ve been trying to talk her into hurdles since she was a freshman,” Stallard said. “You take sprint speed and fearlessness and that’s a good com-

bination for a hurdler.”

It hasn’t been the easiest transition.

“The hurdles hurt me,” Engdahl said, describing a series of bruises on her legs that she earned while learning the technique for the event. “I hit my ankle last week and it turned all purple.”

But she also saw the competitive benefits, and Engdahl is, perhaps more than anything else, a competitor.

On Saturday, Engdahl won both

hurdles races at the Mountain Skyline district meet, and placed second in the 200. She will compete in the preliminaries for all three events at the state meet Thursday, but made clear the ones she has her highest hope for.

“I would rather do the hurdles than the 200,” she said. “I feel I can place higher in both of them than the 200.”

Sports Spurs win opener of West finals

NBA formally charges Sterling THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs were not going to believe Serge Ibaka was really injured until the Oklahoma City Thunder took the court in the opener of the Western Conference finals without their athletic big man.

Their skepticism was unwarranted.

Ibaka is indeed injured and Oklahoma City needs to find a way to replace his defensive presence against San Antonio.

Tim Duncan had 27 points and the Spurs took advantage of Ibaka’s absence to score more than half their points in the paint, beating the Thunder 122-105 Monday night in the opener of the bestof-seven series.

Tony Parker did not appear limited by a hamstring injury, adding 14 points and 12 assists in 36 minutes in San Antonio’s first victory over Oklahoma City this season.

Parker and coach Gregg Popovich both said earlier they weren’t sure if the Thunder would actually be without Ibaka, who injured his left calf in Oklahoma City’s series clincher against the Los Angeles Clippers.

“Contrary to what San Antonio was thinking, he’s not coming back,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said.

That’s bad news for Oklahoma City entering Game 2 on Wednesday.

San Antonio had 66 points in the paint and shot 58 percent from the field.

It was the highest shooting percentage allowed by the Thunder in the postseason since relocating from Seattle.

The Thunder got their usual offensive output from All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who scored 28 and 25 points, respectively. But Oklahoma City’s remaining starters, Nick Collison, Thabo Sefolosha and Kendrick Perkins, combined to score

TENNIS From Page B1 “It’s my last hurrah,” Cuzzort said. “Pretty much after you go the first time, you know what to expect. A little bit of the excitement is gone and you know what you’re there to do. It’s all business.”

State promises to look eerily similar to last week’s district tournament, with three of the top four seeds coming out North Bend’s region. Along with North Bend’s No. 2 seeded pairing, No. 1 seed belongs to district champions Marisa Doveri and Lily Inthisan of Klamath Union and the Henley duo of Vanessa Matheson and Jesse Vezo is seeded fourth after splitting its two matches with North Bend’s pair during the season.

Cuzzort’s head coach Dustin Hood isn’t worried about how she’s going to fair against the heightened competition.

“She likes the big stage,”

ENGDAHL From Page B1 Engdahl has placed in at least one event at the state meet her first three years at Pacific.

As a freshman, she placed fifth in the 200. Last year, she was third in that event and sixth in the 100. As a sophomore, she was part of a 4x100-meter relay team that placed fifth.

She expects no different this week.

“I’ll be really upset at myself if I don’t place high,” Engdahl said. “I’m really competitive.

“It’s my senior year. I want to go out with a bang.”

The state meet marks the end of a decorated career at Pacific for Engdahl, who has been one of the South Coast’s top basketball players the past four seasons. She helped the Pirates to the playoffs several times and repeatedly

Collison started in place of Ibaka and was 0 for 3 from the field with three rebounds and one blocked shot.

Ibaka was averaging 12.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.23 blocks in 33.9 minutes in the postseason.

Having it be Cuzzort’s last chance at winning a title doesn’t just weight on her.

Schandelmeier-Lynch has given herself some added pressure knowing this is her partner’s last chance at a championship. She fully expects to get rid of the nerves by the time the tournament starts.

“Every time I do mess up, I think, ‘Oh, this is Taylor’s last year, if I screw this up, it’s over for her,’” SchandelmeierLynch explained. “There is that pressure but I need to get over that, realize we’re equals and just play together.” and Cuzzort Schandelmeier-Lynch are the only two North Bend girls to make it, but the Bulldogs have five boys headed to Corvallis.

Next year, she becomes a freshman at Linfield College, where coaches with both the basketball and track teams have invited her to join the programs. But she plans to study nursing, which is a time-intensive program.

As much as she loves basketball, Engdahl said she would be more likely to do track just because of the time element. Plus, the sport has grown on her.

“I like track,” she said. “I like to do individual stuff.”

This week, though, she’s equally excited about Pacific’s 4x100-meter relay team. At the district meet, she teamed with Brittany Kreutzer, Aumai Wills and Jessica Martinez to place second in the relay, with nearly a two-second improvement that moved the Pirates to No. 3 on the Class 1A list this spring.

“That was awesome,” Engdahl said.

his best season this year, so of course we’re going to miss his presence, but we have guys that are going to step up and do it collectively.”

San Antonio planned to attack Oklahoma City’s interior whether Ibaka was playing or not, and found it much easier to do without the athletic 6foot-10 forward.

“We always want to try to penetrate,” Parker said. “We always want our ball movement, that’s how we play — kick and pitch and stuff like that.”

tournament, only giving up four games. Baker and Hood are eyeing a potential rematch in the quarterfinals with Valley Catholic’s Matt Biggi, who beat Baker in the first round last year, relegating him to the consolation bracket.

“I think Keaten’s gonna have a great tournament,” Hood said bluntly. “He didn’t get seeded, but he’s got a chance.”

North Bend’s No. 1 doubles team James Jordan and Stewart Lyons only lost one set all year heading into districts. The two were finally handed their first loss of the year in the finals when they were taken out by Klamath Union’s Hayden Lam and Greg Pinkston after winning the first set 6-0.

Hood fully expects the two to be able to bounce back and return to their nearly flawless ways.

“They got about as good a draw as you could ask for,” Hood said of the pair’s chances.

Brigham Baker — Keaton’s

Engdahl loves the concept of improvement, which is part of what made the hurdles attractive.

“In sprinting, you can’t get much faster,” she said.

“With hurdles, I can get faster if I work on my form.”

She made a big breakthrough in the 100-meter hurdles at the district meet, dropping her best time to 16.85 seconds from 17.54.

“I finally got the threestep down,” she said of the amount of steps she takes between each hurdle.

Suddenly Engdahl had the No. 2 time in Class 1A behind Ellie Logan of the combined Condon/Wheeler team.

Stallard said Engdahl has made tremendous strides since her freshman year.

“She has come a long ways,” he said. “And most of it is a testament to her weight-lifting.

“What she has done in the weight room has done a lot for her. She out-lifts a lot of

brother — and Jacob Gage are somewhat of a surprise team in the tournament. The two freshmen mostly played singles throughout the regular season until about two weeks before districts. They, along with Hood, saw the landscape in singles and figured they had the best chance at making state as a team.

They were right.

The two will be in the play-in round Thursday, needing to win a match against a pair from McLoughlin to make it into the tournament, and Hood likes their odds.

“I’m optimistic about their chances,” Hood said. “I feel confident for them about the tournament.”

Regardless of how any of the other Bulldogs do, this weekend will be Cuzzort’s swan song.

She plans on enjoying the best way she can.

“It’s bittersweet, but I think I’m ready,” Cuzzort said. “Obviously winning is the goal.”

our boys.”

That has paid off in both basketball and track, with a boost from Stallard along the way.

“I probably put more pressure on her than any other athlete,” he said.

Engdahl has thrived, and last week, she helped lead Pacific’s girls to the Mountain Skyline League title.

The Pirates might not have enough depth to earn a trophy at state this week, but they do have a shot at multiple placers.

Their best hope for the boys is junior Cole Kreutzer in the 400, where he will try to follow in the footsteps of last year’s champion, Mike Wagner.

Kreutzer ranks fourth, but the top four athletes all are close in time.

“It’s going to be fun to watch that 400,” Stallard said.

Because of Engdahl, he has the same attitude about the two hurdles races.

HORSE RACING California Chrome can use nasal strip at Belmont NEW YORK — California Chrome can breathe easy — he’s allowed to wear a nasal strip when he goes for the Triple Crown in the Belmont Stakes on June 7.

Belmont Park stewards cleared the horse to use the strip that opens his nasal passages, just as he did in winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.

New York tracks have a rule prohibiting any equipment not specifically approved by stewards, and nasal strips were not on the list. A statement from the New York Racing Association and the state’s Gaming Commission said the track’s three stewards unanimously agreed to lift the ban.

NEW YORK — The NBA charged Donald Sterling on Monday with damaging the league and its teams by making racist comments, setting up a June 3 hearing after which owners could vote to terminate his ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The league also said the banned owner has engaged in other conduct that has impaired its relationship with fans and m e r chandising partners.

“All of these acts provide grounds for termination under several provisions of the NBA constitution and related agreements,” the league said in a statement.

Sterling was banned for life and fined $2.5 million by Commissioner Adam Silver after the release of a recording in which he made racist remarks. He has until May 27 to respond to the charge, and the right to appear at the hearing and make a presentation before the board of governors. He has the right to a lawyer at the hearing, but strict courtroom rules of evidence would not apply.

Mount Hood claimed the NWAACC title Monday at Portland, beating South Region rival Clackamas 4-2 in the championship game.

Falcons break ground on their new stadium ATLANTA — The hope for another Atlanta Super Bowl hung over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Falcons’ new stadium.

There were Super Bowl reminders everywhere in at the ceremony, and none were subtle. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2017.

Atlanta officials hope the Super Bowl is played in the stadium as soon as 2019.

A plane pulled a banner which read “Break Ground on Super Bowl Too.”

AUTO RACING Busch crashes during Indianapolis 500 practice INDIANAPOLIS — Kurt Busch made his attempt at completing The Double a lot tougher after crashing during practice at Indianapolis.

Busch spun coming out of the second turn on the 2.5mile oval and slammed hard into the outside wall. It was the biggest crash of the month.

Andretti Autosport said the car would not be repaired by the Indy 500 and Busch will drive teammate Marco Andretti’s backup car. Busch will still start 12th.

Busch is the fourth driver to attempt completing the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Both races are Sunday.

Marshfield advances to softball play-in round Pirates travel to La Salle Prep for Thursday contest ■

THE WORLD Marshfield was rewarded for its strong second half of the softball season when the Pirates earned an at-large spot in the Class 4A play-in round.

The Pirates visit La Salle Prep in a 5 p.m. game Thursday for a spot in the 16team bracket.

The Associated Press Marshfield won its final The Cleveland Indians celebrate after Michael Brantley hit a game-winning solo home run off Detroit Tigers seven Far West League games, relief pitcher Al Alburquerque in the tenth inning Monday in Cleveland. The Indians won 5-4. including a doubleheader sweep of league champion South Umpqua, and then beat

Indians snap 4-game skid THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Michael Brantley homered with two outs in the 10th inning off Al Alburquerque, giving the Cleveland Indians a 5-4 win over the drowsy Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

Brantley connected on a 3-2 pitch from Alburquerque (1-1), driving it into the Tigers’ MLB bullpen to end Cleveland’s Recap four-game losing streak.

Scott Atchison (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th, retiring Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez for the first two outs.

Detroit’s J.D. Martinez hit a pinch-hit homer in the ninth to tie it 4-all, but the Tigers couldn’t muster more magic in extra innings.

The Tigers, who arrived just three hours before the first pitch because of travel delays from Boston, had their 11-game road winning streak ended.

White Sox 7, Royals 6: Alexei Ramirez homered and drove in four runs, Dayan Viciedo and Paul Konerko also went deep and Chicago climbed out of a five-run hole before holding on for a wild win over Kansas City.

Zach Putnam (2-0) worked two shutout innings in relief of Scott Carroll, and Ronald

Belisario also threw two scoreless innings before Scott Downs and Jake Petricka bailed out Matt Lindstrom.

Jason Vargas (4-2) squandered the rare five-run lead the Royals’ pop-gun offense gave him. He allowed all seven White Sox runs in 4 2-3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.

Astros 5, Angels 2: Dallas Keuchel came within one out of his second consecutive shutout and Houston beat Los Angeles for its first three-game winning streak of the season.

Jason Castro and Matt Dominguez drove in runs during a three-run first inning for the Astros, who got 10 hits off Garrett Richards (4-1) in the opener of a 10-game road trip.

Braves 9, Brewers 3: Freddie Freeman and Justin Upton homered to help Mike Minor win his second consecutive start in Atlanta’s victory over Milwaukee.

Pinch-hitter Ryan Doumit also went deep for the Braves in a matchup of first-place teams.

Reds 4, Nationals 3, 15 innings: Todd Frazier’s two-run homer in the 15th inning lifted Cincinnati over Washington.

Brandon Phillips singled off Ross Detwiler (0-2) to open the inning and, with one out, Frazier homered to center. The drive ended a scoreless streak of 27 2-3 innings by the Nationals’ bullpen.

BEAVERS From Page B1 Many coaching names were being rumored and the players didn’t know who would be hired.

“It’s a fresh start and we’ve just got to make the most of it,” Gomis said, adding that it was tough to see Robinson go. “We have a hard-working group and we just want to do our best.”

Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins was reported to have been the other finalist for the job.

“Coach Tinkle is a proven recruiter who has had great success at Montana,” former Oregon State All-American Charlie Sitton said in the school’s release. “His teams are known for hard-nosed defense, and I like how he holds his players accountable. I think he will fit in very well at Oregon State, and I’m very optimistic about the future for the Beavers.”

Coquille, one of the higherranked teams in Class 3A, for a final boost in the power rankings last week.

That helped Marshfield finish 16-10 overall and rise to No. 17 in the final rankings.

La Salle Prep also finished strong, winning six of its last eight games to finish second in the Tri-Valley League — both losses close defeats to league champion Gladstone.

The Falcons were 18-8 overall in the regular season and finished two spots ahead of Marshfield in the final power rankings.

The winner of Thursday’s game likely faces a long trip to northeastern Oregon next week for a first-round game

against McLoughlin.

For people who can’t make the trip to the Portland area for this week’s game between Marshfield and La Salle Prep, the contest will air locally on KMHS Radio (1420 AM).

In other games involving Far West League softball teams, Douglas hosts Crook County and BrookingsHarbor travels to Mazama.

In baseball, Siuslaw visits Newport, South Umpqua travels to Astoria and Brookings-Harbor hosts Cascade. Far West League champion North Bend opens the playoffs at home next Wednesday, probably against Gladstone or Newport.

Tinkle takes over a program depleted by departures.

Job No. 1 could be trying to keep this year’s recruiting class on board with coming to Corvallis.

Six OSU seniors from this past season have graduated or will soon after using up their eligibility. Junior forward Eric Moreland decided he was ready for the NBA. Freshman point guard Hallice Cooke decided to transfer and announced via Twitter earlier Monday that he will attend Iowa State.

Junior point guard Challe Barton decided to return home to Sweden and play professional basketball in Europe.

Oregon State went 16-16 overall (8-10 in Pac-12 play) last season with a team filled with veterans and hopes of making the NCAA tournament.

The Beavers got conference wins against four teams that reached the Big Dance, but the season ended with a

thud in a home loss to Radford in the College Basketball Invitational.

De Carolis originally backed Robinson, releasing a letter of support on March 28, but changed his mind about a month later.

In a press conference after the firing, De Carolis said it was the player defections that “cemented that feeling” that the program needed a fresh start.

“And as I pulled myself away after I had made the (initial) decision and just went back and reevaluated all those thoughts, I was coming to a different place,” De Carolis said.

If he hasn’t already, Tinkle will soon begin building his staff.

One former assistant who could be in consideration is Freddie Owens, who just completed his first year as an Oregon State assistant.

Owens was on Tinkle’s staff at Montana the previous four seasons.

Education Remembering the school year Assignment: Write about what you remember most about this school year.

Beck K., a student at Hillcrest Elementary School, North Bend , will receive a prize for her submission on this topic: I would remember about 4th grade because I have had the best teachers ever and a good principal. I am happy with this school and 3rd grade. My 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Fobert, is my favorite.

She is a good teacher. She used to let us throw paper airplanes. My friend, Vincent, got a paper airplane stuck in the light bulb.

HILLCREST ELEMENTARY I will always remember the time we did the OAKS testing (it was hard). Kidding, well, it was quite a challenge. The two tests we were doing were math and reading. They were a series of math questions and reading questions.it really helped everyone in my class when our teacher said to just go slow and take your time. Everyone I know in our class passed the math. I will never forget the OAKS testing.

Jared P. When I am older than 10, I would love to remember my 4th grade life.

At the beginning of the year, I was scared. I did not know where my class room was, until my parents told me where and who it was. It was my brother’s teacher, Mrs. Melton. I went to my brother’s classroom because my brother walked me to his class room to hang his stuff up. Then he walked me to my 3rd grade teacher. My brother never told my parents her name.

Tori E. Remembering 4th grade I think about Christmastime in December , before Christmas break. I think about the lights in our class, room 21. Remembering 4th grade, I also think about the fireplace app that was playing on the smart board. At that moment I wanted to be held back and not go to 5th grade, I wanted to stay in 4th grade forever!

Bailey S. The thing that I will never forget in 4th grade is the time I met my teacher Mrs. Melton. She is loving, rewarding, and completely amazing. From the first time I met her, something sparked. She really loves little Pez containers. If you give her a pez container she will give you the whole roll of pez candy. I love her and that is that.

Behind the scenes at last years Barbecue, Blues and Brews by the Bay event at The Mill Casino-Hotel.This weekend approximately 35 competitors from across the country will be in North Bend for the event. Last year’s winner, Lake House Barbecue from Everett, Wash., will be back to defend its crown.

Can you smell the barbecue?

BY RON JACKIMOWICZ The World

Elkhorn Barbecue is garnering a name for itself locally, and owner Greg Marshall hopes to propel that reputation upward at this weekend’s Barbecue, Blues and Brews on the Bay at The Mill Casino-Hotel.

But he found out last year, when the best barbecue cooks from around the country converge on your neighborhood, it can be a real learning experience.

“Everything that can go wrong happened to us last year,” Marshall said of his first Kansas City Barbecue Sanctioned cookoff. His son accidentally locked the keys in the truck (which had all the meat in it), and his girlfriend started having contractions.

“There was a lot of going back and forth to the hospital,” he said.

Forgive him if he was a little distracted.

This year, he’s hoping for “redemption.”

“I do 400-500 people weddings, no big deal, everyone likes it,” Marshall said. “But, the judges are looking for something in particular.”

So this year, Marshall

Marshfield grad Greg Marshall and Elkhorn Barbecue will be one of the local teams competing this weekend signed up for the judging class Friday night to find out exactly what the judges are looking for.

“I’ll be able to see exactly what they’re interested in,” he said.

Then he’ll make some changes at the last minute.

Other changes Marshall will make this year is to double the size of his team. Last year he did a majority of the “samples” himself. So this year his younger brother C.J., step-daughter Jessica and son Gregory are all part of the team. This, Marshall hopes, will give him more time to concentrate on the cooking.

He plans of entering all four of the competitions again this year: beef brisket, ribs, pork butt and chicken.

He’s also going to have his deep-fried macaroni and cheese as another of his “samples” at the weekend competition.

He thinks his best chance

this year is in the pork category.

“The pork is really taking off,” he said.

And locals are taking notice. Marshall started Elkhorn Barbecue (named for the ranch he camped on along the Millicoma River as a kid), five years ago and this year added a food truck to his arsenal. He’ll be a regular at the Farmers Market on Wednesdays in downtown Coos Bay, and he’ll have the truck parked next to the old True North building on U.S. Highway 101 across from the boardwalk on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This is the third year for Barbecue, Blues and Brews on the Bay. And the competition keeps getting bigger.

Marshall said there may be eight more teams competing this year. And despite it being a competition, Marshall says it is a great time.

“Everybody is there for what your dream is,” he said.

“Everyone is there for the same reason. Barbecue, blues and brews. The music gets going, all the smokers are going. It’s a good time.”

■■■ Elkhorn Barbecue is one of four local competitors out of approximately 35 teams competing. The other local teams are Pepper Pappy’s Barbecue, 8th Street Grill and Northwest Smokehouse.

Get ready for some new ice cream flavors

BY MICHELE KAYAL The Associated Press

Coming soon to a freezer aisle near you — balsamic vinegar ice cream. Plus, hot sauce ice cream. And maybe even tomato.

“You’re seeing the same kinds of trends in ice cream that you’re seeing in other foods,” says Peggy Armstrong, spokeswoman for the International Dairy Foods Association. “People are willing to experiment.”

Just a generation ago, Americans mostly bought their ice cream at the supermarket in recognizable flavors that occasionally sported chocolate chips or a swirl of some kind. Today, regular old ice cream has been joined by boutique

items such as gelato, sorbet and water ice, as well as an army of flavors that seem more at home in an Italian restaurant — opal basil lemon sorbet, anyone? — than in your local freezer aisle.

Americans ate nearly 1.6 billion gallons of ice cream and other frozen dairy desserts in 2012. But traditional ice cream’s share of that market has been shrinking, edged out by specialty items such as frozen yogurt and gelato. In 2012, production of regular ice cream hit its lowest point since 1996, the Dairy Foods Association says, hitting fewer than 900 million gallons.

3 chilly recipes to help kick off ice cream season

BY ALISON LADMAN

Layers of summer goodness in interesting combinations

The Associated Press

Ready to move beyond basic vanilla or chocolate this ice cream season?

Much as we love those classics, with so many crazy — and crazy delicious — flavor combinations flooding the freezer aisle of the supermarket, it’s hard to resist making some big, boldly flavored frozen concoctions of our own. We started with a bee sting parfait, inspired by the honey, almond and coconut-studded pastry of the same name.

For a cool and so-veryadult frappe, we combine strawberry ice cream with elderflower liqueur. And to cool off a crowd, we layer on the flavor with a salted caramel malted mocha ice cream cake.

BEE STING PARFAIT Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 2

2 tablespoons slivered almonds 2 tablespoons grated coconut, large flakes if available 2 tablespoons honey 1 banana, diced 1 pint vanilla ice cream Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almonds and coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Place in the freezer to chill for 5 minutes.

To assemble the parfaits, add a teaspoon of coconut and almonds to the bottom of each parfait glass. Top with a tablespoon of banana and a drizzle of honey. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Continue layering in this order until you’ve used all the ingredients and filled the glass. Serve immediately.

Boutique scoop shops and artisanal producers have flooded the landscape during the last five to 10 years, introducing audiences to a wider range of flavors and textures. Cumin and honey butterscotch, salty vanilla, and pumpernickel are typical of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, an Ohio-based producer that has gone national.

Uber-hip Coolhaus, which has parlayed ice cream trucks and storefronts into distribution in 2,000 supermarkets, offers Cuban cigar, spicy pineapple-cilantro and even fried chicken and waffle ice cream.

“The flavor we thought nobody would buy was balsamic fig mascarpone, and that’s the one we’re out of,” says Coolhaus co-founder Natasha Case about the company’s recent experience

Fresh berries Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line it with kitchen parchment.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the instant coffee, malt powder, water and vinegar. Add the oil, then add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

When ready to assemble the cake, microwave the ice cream in 10-second increments until just slightly softened. Flip the cake out of the pan onto a cutting board.

Remove the parchment and trim the edges off to make a neat rectangle. Cut the cake

in half down the center (the short way), then cut each half in half again to create 4 even rectangles.

Place 1 piece of cake on a serving platter, then spread a third of the coffee ice cream over it. Top with a second piece of cake, then spread another third of ice cream over that. Repeat one more time, finishing with the last piece of cake. Place the assembled cake in the freezer to firm up for 20 minutes.

The cake also can be tightly wrapped in plastic and frozen overnight. If so, let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.

To serve, slice the cake into squares, then drizzle each serving with caramel sauce. Sprinkle with a few grains of sea salt and serve with fresh berries.

at a trade show. “All the buyers want that one. Two years ago, we were out of vanilla.

That buyer at that show who does five to 300 grocery chains wants to know what’s cool, whereas before they just wanted to know that you could do vanilla well.”

Vanilla remains supreme, Armstrong says, but the mass-market producers represented by her organization are branching out. At the association’s annual ice cream technology conference in April, producers showcased flavors such as Mexican-spiced chocolate and hot sauce ice cream. Ice cream flavors such as caramel popcorn, coffeeand-doughnuts, cotton candy and peanut butter s’mores also are destined for supermarket shelves.

Though we are in an intense period of flavor experimentation, the desire to go beyond chocolate, vanilla and strawberry dates to the post-World War II era, says Laura B. Weiss, author of “Ice Cream: A Global That’s when History.”

Howard Johnson, known for his roadside restaurants, tried to convince Americans to indulge in his famous 28 flavors. Among them: maple walnut, burgundy cherry and fruit salad.

“This was really pretty revolutionary,” Weiss says.

“Going beyond chocolate, vanilla and strawberry really began with Howard Johnson.”

Even today’s most exoticsounding new flavors make sense on some level. Candied sweet potato, a flavor being explored by Parker Products in Ft. Worth, Texas, has its roots in Southern sweet potato pie. Ice cream behemoth Haagen-Dazs recently launched tomato ice cream in Japan, as well as a carrotorange flavor. And why not, says Jeni Britton Bauer of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams.

“A lot of vegetables have a very sweet flavor,” she says.

“Like corn. Even when you make it salty, it’s still sweet and milky.”

Producers also are tackling whiskey, beer and other alcohols in new ways. Jeni’s

Splendid makes a cherrywood smoked porter ice cream studded with rosemary-sprinkled bar nuts.

High Road Craft Ice Cream in Marietta, Georgia, makes a bourbon-burnt sugar flavor.

“Ice cream is a great canvas for evoking those flavors and speaking to those profiles, but also having fun with the cocktails, the old fashioneds and the Manhattans,” says Coolhaus’ Case. “And I don’t have to card people. It’s a food.”

The next revolution, ice cream watchers say, will be in creating more texturally sophisticated ice creams.

Customers are beginning to demand smoother, creamier products that suggest the hand of the artisan.

“Just in the way that people have learned to crave sophisticated flavors, they now want textures where the mouth-feel is really rich and delicious,” Weiss says. “The next thing is texture. It can be a fabulous flavor, but if it doesn’t feel really smooth and creamy and rich, it loses something."

Elisabetta Foradori.

“From the beginning, one of our biggest things was that we wanted people to be able to taste different wines — and that’s why we have so many by the glass,” Fisher explained. “It’s so our customers can explore what different wines taste like with foods. You can do half glasses if you want; it’s all about tasting and seeing what you like and maybe discovering something new.”

The focus on food is echoed by David McCarus, the proprietor of a boutique wine distribution agency in South Carolina. While the general manager and beverage director of FIG, an award-winning restaurant in Charleston, he focused on the interaction of wine with

food and the role wine should play at the table. And he saw how eager consumers were to learn.

When McCarus moved to San from Charleston Francisco in 2012, he wasn’t sure he would find a receptive clientele.

“I didn’t know if there was an appetite in town,” he explained. “But I had a strong enough belief that people would understand the wine program if it made the food taste better. Consumers might not know what they’re looking for. They might not really know what they want.

But if the wine and food can combine into this organic dance — and it makes sense while it’s happening — people will be comfortable. And people will come back.”

McCarus saw his patrons come back again and again. A successful wine program satisfies virtually every customer, of course, so McCarus made sure to always have something for everyone, even if it was obscure and didn’t match the exact request.

“My point was always, ‘why don’t we try this?’” he continued. “So If someone comes in and asks for a glass of Pinot Grigio, we can say, ‘no, we don’t have a glass of Pinot Grigio, but we have this beautiful Erbaluce from Piedmont made by this great producer and it’s really delicious and it will be really good with your fish.”

What McCarus and Fisher have done isn’t unique.

Nationwide, more and more sommeliers are showcasing small-production, interesting wines — and providing opportunities for people to try things that aren’t available at the local supermarket. They’re acting as educators, eager to share their palates and preferences with their customers.

The wine world is vast.

And thanks to this work, Americans are beginning to make all sorts of discoveries.

C4• The World •Tuesday, May 20,2014

WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2014 Let your creative side loose this year. Don’t be deterred by the inevitable changes coming your way. Accept that some situations are beyond your control, and devote yourself to success.

Believing in your abilities is the first step. Enjoy the moment and the ride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t get caught up in workplace bickering. If you have a legitimate complaint, follow the proper channels. Negativity and grumbling could trigger even bigger problems.

Protect your position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Remembering the fun you had in the past will lead to a return to the things you enjoyed doing most.

Rekindle the moment by revisiting old friends, places or hobbies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — This is your lucky day. You may receive an unexpected profit through a previous investment. Your ideas for financial gains will prove more favorable than ever. Romance is in the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone around you will be shorttempered. If you overreact, you will only create more hostility. Find a solitary activity that you enjoy in order to avoid a feud.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Do your best at work and at home.

Your peers or partners aren’t likely to be cooperative. Rely on your own efforts and tread carefully to avoid

SPONSORED BY

misunderstandings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Self-improvement strategies will work to your advantage. Use your initiative, and apply your strong work ethic to the things you find most appealing. Stay in control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You can’t avoid unpleasantness forever. Ignoring the problems will not make them go away. Take action and face any contentious issues before they become impossible to deal with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your personal problems may come under scrutiny from meddling friends or relatives. Be diplomatic, but make it clear that you intend to solve your own issues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Go over proposals or contracts with a fine-toothed comb, and get everything in writing.You could face long-term problems if you take people at face value. Protect your assets and your reputation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have been feeling blue, take time to pamper yourself or just relax. It might be the time to begin some improvement projects. The busier you are, the less time you’ll spend dwelling on problems.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your drive to help those in need will bring you personal satisfaction and enrich your life. Personal and community commitments will bring you unexpected benefits. You have a lot to offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your desire to learn is commendable and unstoppable. Meeting with others and comparing thoughts and ideas will keep you up-to-date and well-informed. Forge ahead.

Brigham Young said, “Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?”

Sometimes at the bridge table, silence is golden. If your side is going to be outbid, you often do best to pass throughout, because every call gives information to the opposing declarer.

But, of course, sometimes you will not know that you are going to be outbid.

And aggressive competition might push your opponents into the wrong contract.

Bid Forms will be accepted via hand delivery, mail or email.

In this deal, West had a perfectly normal opening bid, but it helped South with the play in four hearts.West began with three rounds of clubs.What did declarer do after he had ruffed East’s queen?

South’s takeout double, followed by the one-heart rebid, promised a good 17 to 19 high-card points. North took a shot at game, knowing that his partner would be able to place the cards accurately.

Someone who paid no attention to the auction would cross to dummy with a trump and run the diamond queen. But West would win and return anything but a club.

Eventually declarer would lose a spade trick to go down one.

West is almost certain to have the diamond king for his opening bid. So declarer, who needs hearts 3-2, draws a couple of rounds of trumps.

Then he should cash the diamond ace and play another diamond.

If West ducks, South can afford a spade loser. And if West wins the trick, declarer takes two spades, five hearts and three diamonds.
