Cribbins rolls; Sweet, Gurney face a runoff See full election results online at theworldlink.com/elections

THE WORLD COOS COUNTY — Melissa Cribbins appears headed to reelection to her county commissioner seat, but her colleague, incumbent John Sweet, will likely face a runoff.

On Tuesday night, Cribbins was capturing 52 percent. Her closest challenger, Coquille Mayor Matt Rowe, trailed with 39 percent. Also running for Position 3, Kermit Gaston trailed with 8 percent.

For Position 2, Sweet was holding

off a stiff challenge from his closest challenger, Don Gurney. Sweet trailed slightly with 41 percent of the vote; Gurney earned 43 percent.

Candidates needed to capture 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff in the November general election.

Speaking by phone from the Coquille office of The Sentinel newspaper Tuesday night, Gurney said the numbers were about what he had expected.

“When you’re that close, any-

Douglas County

body’s got a chance,” he said.

He did leave the door open for competitive stab at the general election, in the event Sweet doesn’t break the 50 percent line in votes.

“It’s going to make a big difference what happens in the next month or two.”

Calls to Sweet’s cell phone number went directly to his voicemail box, which was full.

Two other challengers, Dale Pennie and Lee Byer, trailed in that

race by 12 and 4 percent, respectively.

Cribbins, 41, of North Bend, was intent on keeping her seat in Position 3. She’s had the office for the past two years. She said she wants to finish what she’s begun.

At the top of that list is completion of the county’s strategic plan that was started a few months ago.

That process will include an online survey for residents to complete to tell commissioners directly

what they want to see happen in Coos County.

“We’ve started some really important things,” she said. “I want to stabilize funding revenues, maintain certainty to citizens about funding, increase levels of service for the county and improve communication among our staff and other citizens.”

She has been on the water board for six years and was legal counsel for the Coquille Tribe for six years.

Circuit Court Judge

Experience judged best Incumbent judge wins her first contested race

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

COQUILLE — Judge Cynthia Beaman emerged victorious Tuesday evening in a rare judicial race, holding off challenger Shala McKenzie Kudlac for the 15th Circuit Court.

Beaman, of Brookings, held a commanding lead throughout the evening with a combined 65 percent of the vote in both Coos and Curry counties. It was a lead she would not relinquish.

Contacted by phone Tuesday night, she reflected on the difficulties of campaigning for a judicial position.

“It was a little bit complicated,” Beaman said. “It’s really just talking about experience, because you can’t Cynthia Beaman really talk about any hard-hitting issues. (But) you can get out and meet people and they can decide whether you are the best person for the job.”

It is a spot she has held since 2007, when she was appointed by former Gov. Ted Kulongoski after the retirement of Judge Richard Mickelson. In 2008, vot-

Comics . . . . . . . . . . A6 Puzzles . . . . . . . . . . A6 Sports . . . . . . . . . . . B1 Classifieds . . . . . . . B5

ers elected her to the bench for a new term.

Kudlac, of Sixes, a 1997 graduate of Pacific High School, was looking for her first judicial post. She is a practicing attorney who serves as attorney for Port Orford, while also assisting Curry County and the city of Bandon.

When it came to political spending, Beaman had the advantage in the tale of the financial tape. She was able to raise more than $8,000, including campaign contributions from sitting judges. Kudlac, on the other hand, had to rely largely on her own contributions in raising just over $5,600.

Beaman says that is another difficult part of running a campaign for a judicial seat. It is an inherently uncomfortable process seeking campaign contributions, as you have to be wary of those who may want preferential treatment later.

“Overall, though, it was a positive experience,” she said. “I’ve been able to meet people in Coos and Curry counties that I wouldn’t ordinarily get an opportunity to meet. It was also a positive campaign and that’s a good thing too.”

STATE

INSIDE

DOUGLAS COUNTY — State Rep. Tim Freeman is on his way to being the next Douglas County commissioner.

Freeman had 52 percent of the vote with the first set of numbers.

If a candidate gets 50 percent, plus one vote, that candidate can avoid a runoff in November.

“Nobody wins a campaign alone,” Freeman said Tuesday from his election-watching post at his home in Roseburg. “It takes a great team of people that helped me, from around the county, and I’m very appreciative.”

There were seven candidates to replace Joe Laurance, who decided against running for a third term.

Monte K. Smith of Roseburg was running second in the early returns with 18 percent of the vote.

“It’s been an incredible experience,” Freeman said of his county commission run, “meeting and visiting the citizens of Douglas County.”

Freeman made several stops around the county, including Reedsport, during his campaign.

He also generated the most in donations and spending of all primary campaigns on the South Coast this season. Freeman racked up more than $114,000 in contributions. He also outspent any other campaign, more than $155,000.

Freeman is giving up an Oregon House seat he’s held since 2009.

During the 2011 legislative session, Freeman served as co-chair of the budget-writing Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Services as well as a member of the full Joint Ways and Means Committee and the House Rules Committee.

He said he had simple reasons for running for the commission.

“I still have a desire to serve and help my community” he said, “but I was no longer willing to be away from my wife and children to do it.”

Freeman will join longtime commissioner Doug Robertson, and former state lawmaker Susan Morgan on the commission.

CURRY COUNTY — Curry County Commissioner David Itzen will go head-to-head with challenger Thomas Huxley in the fall, but the county will be sticking with its current form of government for the foreseeable future.

Itzen came in at 42 percent of ballots cast for Position 1 on the board of commissioners.

Thomas C. Huxley was second with 27 percent.

Voters have overwhelmingly rejected Measure 8-76, with 62 percent voting “no.”

Itzen, the incumbent, was elected to the board in 2010. He holds a Ph.D. in educational administration from the University of Oregon and previously worked as a teacher and school principal.

Itzen raised $4,875 in contributions, $500 of which came from agribusiness industry’s FirstVote PAC. He’s been a public opponent of Measure 8-76, better known as the Curry County Home Rule Charter. As of May 19, Itzen had spent $5,133 on his campaign.

He’s the only one of the four candidates to have filed campaign finance information with the state.

Jim Relaford, also a Brookings resident, owns and operated Mainbrace Technologies Inc., an IT company with branches in both Brookings and Gold Beach.

Dowler, a surfboard builder with a chemistry degree from the University of California San Diego, also works as a general contractor.

Retiree Thomas Huxley served on the Curry County Citizen’s Advisory Committee several years ago, and cited a background in business development and manufacturing in his candidate filing.

Measure 8-76 failed by a 2-1 margin. The measure would have upended the county’s traditional form of government by shifting to a council-manager format.

Coos Bay council seeks represenative to SCCF COOS BAY — The Coos Bay City Council is taking applications for people to represent the city on the South Coast Community Foundation.

At its Tuesday night meeting, the council chose Mayor Crystal Shoji to serve as the “placeholder” on the SCCF board of directors until applications can be reviewed.

“We’re going to go through a process like we do when we appoint people to committees, where we’ll go out and ask people to submit applications,” she said.

Shoji expects the council will make a decision sometime next month. Application information will be available as soon as possible.

The city’s representative, who will speak and vote for the city at SCCF’s annual member meetings, will also be decided at a later date, Shoji said.

Bill Lansing, John Whitty and Joanne Verger have already been approved by three of the members to serve as the initial directors.

The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay commissioners will appoint their director at their 7 p.m.

Thursday meeting, the North Bend City Council will appoint its director at an upcoming work session, and the Coos County commissioners will appoint their director at their June 3 meeting.

District 9 GOP primary a toss-up Runyan or Payne will face McKeown in November ■

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — The race between two GOP candidates vying for Caddy McKeown’s seat in the state house is neck and neck.

According to unofficial results Tuesday night, Casey Runyan barely led Jason Payne with just more than 50 percent of the vote. The two are separated by 14 votes.

Incumbent state Rep. Caddy McKeown, D-Coos Bay, represents Oregon House District 9, which covers portions of Coos, Douglas, Lane and Lincoln counties. She’s running for a second term in the state house.

Runyan, of Reedsport, is a

retired Marine after serving from 2000 to 2008. He’s a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, speaking out against gun control earlier this year on the steps of the state capitol.

“The job of the state legislature is to protect the liberties of the people in the state,” he told The World.

“By bringing up the issue of more gun control every time some idiot lunatic goes out and shoots a mass amount of people, it doesn’t matter how many shootings there are, it doesn’t matter how many people are dead, it doesn’t matter — the right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed, no matter what happens.”

“It is quite interesting,” he said of Tuesday’s results.

“I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t (expect the race to be so close). I didn’t think I would be running neck and neck with Jason in a primary like

According to campaign finance reports, Runyan has received a $500 cash contribution from the Oregon Firearms Federation PAC. He’s also received $832 in in-kind contributions.

Payne, of Coos Bay, was also surprised by the close race.

“We both ran very lowbudget campaigns, and in fact, both of us had kids right around the same time, so we were a little more preoccupied getting our lives in order than actually campaigning,” Payne said.

Reedsport wastewater measure fails ELECTION REEDSPORT — Voters in Reedsport failed to approve a measure that would have allowed the city to apply savings from refinancing a loan to pay for engineering for a certification of the city’s levee.

The city needed to get half of the city’s electorate to vote in the Tuesday election, but voter turnout fell short

of that threshold.

The measure asked voters to allow the city to apply those savings to the storm water fund and eventually help fund an engineer study of the city’s levee system in order to get it certified.

Mayor Keith Tymchuk said the city council will have to decide whether to move forward. He said one

GARDINER — The recall election for all five Gardiner Sanitary District board members will be June 17.

Only the petitioner, Gardiner business owner Mack Holman, will have a statement on the ballot.

Jackie Degman, Dennis Conger, Marc Fullhart, Cathy Kent and Charlotte Hinshaw are the focus of the recall.

None provided statements.

Holman collected the 12 signatures needed to place the recall on the ballot.

“The deadline was May 13,” said Douglas County Clerk Patricia Hitt. “We received no response from any (board members) and I am not aware that any have resigned. Going forward, they had five days from the date of our notice to them to either resign or supply our office with a ‘statement of justification.’”

None of that was provided to the clerk’s office by any of the five candidates.

Hitt says it may have just been a misunderstanding.

“We did not have a deadline — a specific deadline in our letter to them,” Hitt said.

“We could have been a little clearer on that matter. But, we can’t change anything at this point because the law is the law and there were only five days.”

Holman has said the recall comes because he doesn’t believe the board has been open about contracts and there’s dissatisfaction, he believes, in the negotiations with the city of Reedsport on wastewater treatment.

In his prospective petition on Degman, Holman wrote: “Gardiner Sanitary board member Jack Degman has not adhered to open meeting and executive meeting laws; has, as a board member, refused to allow public discussion of items on the agenda. Has met monthly in executive session without a stated purpose, then adjourned with disclosure to the public. Has knowingly continued the practice of unfairly billing selected customers.”

The election has been set for June 17, with ballots going

out at the end of May. “The petitioner’s statement will be on the ballot,” Hitt repeated, “but there will not be anything from the board members.”

This will be a vote-bymail election.

“In Oregon, they’re all vote-by-mail,” Hitt said, “so it will be a mail election.

Ballots will go out to the affected district members by the end of May, first of June ... probably around May 30.”

Hitt says she doesn’t expect the election to be affected by the recent primary election.

“It’s busy,” she admitted.

“It’s always very busy during an election. The timing could be a little better but it also could be worse. There was a possibility that it could have landed on the same day as the primary. Fortunately, for us, it’s after the primary. Another fortunate thing for us is it’s not a countywide issue.”

Hitt has been with the department for six years and says recall elections are nothing new.

“This is our second recall this year,” she said.

Messerle named to SWOCC board COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College’s board has filled a seat left vacant by a recent resignation.

On Monday night, the board appointed former state Sen. and Rep. Kenneth Messerle to fill the seat left vacant by Rick Howell’s resignation, which goes into effect May 31.

Messerle will serve until the term expires June 30, 2015.

Three candidates had filed for the seat, including Jean Adamson, of Coos Bay. Danny Stoddard, of Coos Bay, withdrew his application at the last minute.

Messerle served in the state House from 1996 to 2000 and in the state Senate from 2000 to 2004. He held positions in the

state’s Ways and Means committees, including education, transportation, human services and natural resources.

He’s a retired banking executive, having worked as the director of Security Bank and Umpqua Bank.

He has also served on numerous boards throughout the South Coast. He previously sat on the Coquille school board, Oregon State University Agriculture Research Foundation board, Coos County Planning Commission and Port of Bandon Commission.

Messerle is an alumnus of Marshfield High in 1958, Oregon State University in 1962 and Oregon Bank Directors College at Willamette University in 1995.

Collaboration needed on jail issues There clearly is something deeply dysfunctional about Oregon’s current system of county jails. A solution is overdue.

Here in Clatsop County, there is a slowboiling controversy over the long-term necessity for a decision matrix that determines which inmates are released when the jail is full.

Clatsop County District Attorney Josh Marquis has said law-abiding citizens are “looking for someone to blame, but the blame is on the system. This is a system problem and we need a bigger jail.”

But Oregon’s system of funding jail facilities — and law enforcement in general — is deeply flawed. Rural counties face huge bills for penal facilities, operations, upkeep and personnel but lack the tax base and/or voter willpower to provide enough jail cells for all those we want to keep in detention.

The most recent reminder of this comes from our neighbor to the east, Columbia County, where voters are poised to reject once again a jail levy.

Although jails have always been county based, these widespread problems suggest a need for formal regional collaborations, statewide justice-funding measures and other ideas. In an age where prisoners can easily make court appearances via Internet-based video feeds, it’s time the state moved to seek the most efficient ways of running and funding local criminal-justice systems.

Initiatives that seek to get tough on crime

Deer Ridge prison owes the community some answers Prison escapes, while not everyday occurrences, are not all that uncommon. There have been at least three in Oregon so far this year, including recently from the Deer Ridge Correctional Institution outside of Madras.

An inmate climbed over a fence topped by razor wire at the Madras prison, stole an SUV and left. You can bet officials at the institution are closely examining everything associated with the escape.

High on their list of things to fix must be the prison’s warning system for its neighbors. It didn’t work that day,and some neighbors didn’t find out about the escape for about 10 hours.

What failed at Deer Ridge was a telephone system that was supposed to call neighbors

when escapes occur. Apparently, not all telephone numbers from the original system transferred successfully to the new operator.

There could be a number of reasons.

Families are increasingly dropping landline telephones and replacing them with cellular ones. People leave homes and new families move in; again, officials may be unaware of the change.

That cannot let officials off the hook, however. While no one expects them to keep track of the comings and goings of their neighbors, they must reach out and inform neighbors of the need to do report changes themselves.

And, if there were mechanical problems with the system, those, too, must be fixed. This latest escape shed light on what must be considered serious security flaws at Deer Ridge.

The (Bend) Bulletin

Time to deal with climate change before it’s too late Tens of thousands of studies on global

warming have been published in recent years, enough to discredit the idea that humancaused climate change is not real — or that it can safely be ignored until it gets much worse.

Now, the third U.S. National Climate Assessment, the most comprehensive federal review of climate change to date, says the effects are having increasingly severe consequences in every region of the United States.

The report duly notes that there are benefits from warmer temperatures, but in most cases those benefits eventually will be negated by the ratcheting effects of climate change.

In the absence of action from Congress, President Obama recently has taken a series of measures to counter climate change. He has created “climate hubs” in Oregon and other states to work with farmers, industry groups and federal agencies to help prepare them for climate disasters ranging from wildfires to flooding to droughts. And next month the EPA is expected to issue controversial new rules to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are spewed by power plants.

They’re all long-overdue measures. But even tougher steps will be needed, and that will require the same kind of powerful public support that helped force the changes that produced cleaner water and air in the 1960s and 1970s.

The (Eugene) Register-Guard

The evolution of food I was in a restaurant the other day, and it hit me that except for the artisan hamburger — served with locally grown sweet potato fries on a homemade pretzel bun dressed with the chef’s own brand of mustard — there was very little on the menu I would have recognized as food when I was our server’s age.

Most of the words on the menu — potstickers, edamame, California rolls, ciabatta, wraps, bloomin’ onions, pad Thai, naan, chipotle, tilapia, Mongolian beef, latte, mocha, gluten-free, bruschetta, sushi and sashimi — would have been a mystery to me.

Even the section titles would have tripped me up.

“Pasta? What is that?” I would have asked, never having heard the word before.

My mother made spaghetti. Everything else was noodles. Pasta? We’d eaten a ton of it without ever realizing it.

Of course, back in the Dark Ages of Dining, we never would have heard, “My name’s Nevada and I’ll be your server tonight,” either. And she wouldn’t have had a tattoo of barbed wire around her neck,a ring in her eyebrow JIM or been wearing a T-shirt MULLEN with the logo of her favorite band on it: “The Humorist Little Buckets of Spit.”

Thirty years ago, if you saw chicken wings on the menu, you would have gotten up and started looking for another restaurant. What kind of person would order a chicken wing on purpose? Now they’re so common,you wonder if there are enough chickens in the world to supply all those wings.Some mad scientist is probably trying to develop a chicken with eight wings as you read this. Another is working on making them boneless. You have to wonder what they did with all the chicken wings before they became so popular. Or maybe you shouldn’t.

I don’t remember anything coming with dipping sauce years ago unless it was French onion dip for potato chips. The really strange thing is that I’m pretty sure the French have never heard of French onion dip. Now everything comes with a dipping sauce. “What kind of dipping sauce would you like with your dipping sauce?”is a question I’m sure to be asked in the near future.

When did balsamic vinegar become so popular? Where did fried mozzarella sticks come from? Do I want grilled or crispy chicken on my Caesar salad? Wait, when did they start putting chicken in Caesar salads? If you’re young, they always have, but for many years they didn’t.

But what would really surprise my younger self would be the names of the beers at the local brewpub. Oh, yeah, I forgot: There weren’t any local brewpubs when I was young. In 1977 there was one craft brewery in the U.S. Last year there were 2,768 of them. They sold about 15 million barrels of beer, which seems like a lot, but it’s only about 8 percent of all the beer sold. Still, that’s 8 percent the giant brewers didn’t sell.

And the small brewers did it without spending a gazillion dollars on Super Bowl advertising,without running 57 commercials on 57 channels every night, without having to feed and pay the vet bills on a bunch of giant draft horses.

The trouble with craft beer is that I can never remember which ones I liked. Did I have the Magic Hat the last time I was here, or was it the Lagunitas? Or was it Ruination, Racer 5, Little Sumpin’, Torpedo, Delirium Tremens, Oatmeal Stout, Pliny the Elder, Three Philosophers or one of about 4,000 others? I just can’t remember. The server suggests I try the Tasting Menu.

“What is a Tasting Menu?” my younger self would have asked.

Letters to the Editor Despot should be deported Jose Guillermo Garcia, 80, is appealing the decision to “kick him out of the states!” He has been living in Miami since 1989.

The ruling of an American court is detailed and scathing of Garcia but doesn’t convey the extent of the massive involvement of the USA in the training, arming and advising of the Salvador military.

Garcia argued that he was only carrying out an anti-communist campaign with Washington.

The judge concluded that Garcia once allowed the Salvador army “to prey upon defenseless civilians under the guise of fighting a war against communist subversives.”

The magnitude of the killings and torture by the military, compounded with Garcia’s failure to stop the atrocities, has been extreme. The American court and judge ruled that Garcia assisted or otherwise participated in 14

assassinations, six specific tortures, and killing of countless civilians under his command.

Under his command, the military was also responsible for 59 massacres, at least 1,800 killings, 920 disappearances and the torture of 580 people.

The New York Times is the organization that revealed these horrors; and based the part on the landmark 1993 U.N. Truth Commission report: U.S. State Department documents, and testimony by Robert White, the former U.S. ambassador to El Salvador.

Let us hope that he goes before he dies!

Why does county need lobbyist?

Am I missing something? Did I read on the front page of the paper that the commissioners are hiring a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., to

represent the county’s interests there? I thought that was the reason I keep voting for Peter DeFazio, who serves as ranking member on a bevy of relevant committees and has represented us very well for many years. And what about Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkely, who have significant standing in the Senate? Do you mean they won’t represent the county’s interests? Bull. That’s what they are there for, and that’s what they want to do. Shame on the county commissioners who think they have to bypass the men we send to represent us and instead hire a $5,000 per month K-Street lobbyist. By such a move, democracy is subverted and I am shocked.

Marriage: It’s complicated It’s wedding season! More Americans get married in June than in other months. Why June?

The timing seems pretty arbitrary if you look up its history.

Some claim it’s because June was named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage.

Others say it’s because in the 1500s, people took their annual bath in May, which meant they probably smelled best around this time of year. (Be thankful for modern times.)

A third and more plausible explanation: If a bride got pregnant in June, she wouldn’t be too big during summer to help with growing and harvesting food.

Whatever the reason for choosing June, marriage is an ancient custom,and its core function of giving kids a stable home remains very important. Most kids do better if their parents are married, so it’s not a good thing that fewer American parents marry these days.

On my show, Manhattan Institute scholar Kay Hymowitz said divorce and remarriage doesn’t help kids much She JOHN either.

“One STOSSEL noted, thing we see, p a r t i c u l a r l y Columnist with boys,” is that after a divorce, even if there is a new father figure in the picture, “children are more likely to have trouble in school, more likely to have behavioral problems.”

Because of such data, politicians rush in with your money to “help” people stay married.

Every year, government gives the group Family Expectations $100 million to teach couples how to have “healthy relationships.”

Family Expectations gives parents “crib cash” if they follow certain rules and advice.

Does this preserve marriage? No. The government’s own study found that couples who attended Family Expectations workshops were no more likely to stay together.

If private individuals are free to make whatever marriage contracts and observe whatever marriage customs they like, that leaves everyone else free to ignore those couples if they don’t approve. Arrangements that work best will tend to endure.

And despite the data showing that children do better if their parents are married, we shouldn’t assume we know what works best.

Even as marriage rates have decreased and divorce increased, youth violence dropped and high school graduation rates went up.

There was a lot of worry about teen pregnancy 20 years ago.

Despite the decrease in marriage, the rate of teen pregnancy fell 43 percent from 1991 to 2008. The number of arrests for violence among teens is half of what it was

when it peaked in the ‘90s.

Society changes, and those changes aren’t all bad. It’s often foolish to predict what effects those changes will have.

Here’s one final, happy thought: As American media hype racial conflict in America, we should celebrate the good news that intermarriage between ethnic groups continues to increase.

Marriage between people from different races has steadily increased — it’s up 28 percent since the last census. There are even dating websites that specialize in “mixed” relationships.

This is a good thing. Let people love, in ways old and new, even if we make mistakes along the way.

Be very suspicious if government says it’s bringing the perfect gift to the wedding.

State Childhood sexual abuse still haunts adult survivor DEAR ABBY: After years of carrying this guilt, I want to tell my story. It may help others.

When my grandfather tried to rape me, it was at night when everyone was asleep.

I s t o p p e d DEAR him as much as a 10-year-old could. The next day he wrote me a letter saying he was sorry for what he did.

It read, “If JEANNE dad PHILLIPS your finds out, it will KILL HIM.” Strong words for a 10year-old, so I buried the letter in the back yard. He never touched me again.

Five years after that, Grandpa was arrested for molesting my younger brothers. As a young girl, I didn’t know men molested boys. I found out after my grandfather went to prison that he had also molested my dad and his sister when they were children.

Please warn parents to educate their children. Tell them that even someone they love does not have the right to touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable.

My dad felt guilty for the rest of his life for what happened to us because he had let this monster back into his life. If this saves one person from the shame and guilt I have carried, it will have been worth it. — WISH I HAD TOLD IN FLORIDA DEAR WISH YOU HAD TOLD: I agree with you about the importance of parents teaching children the difference between an appropriate touch and one that isn’t, and how to set boundaries. If those boundaries are violated, children should be instructed to immediately tell an adult. If it’s not a parent, then tell a teacher, counselor or school nurse, all of whom are mandated reporters. Children should also tell if a friend confides it has happened to him or her, because secrets like this are harmful not only to the victim, but also to any children in the vicinity who might also be at risk.

It may assuage your guilt to know that molesters often blackmail their victim into silence. I heard recently from a woman who said her father told her when she was a child that if she revealed what he was doing, he would kill himself. (It wasn’t until many years later that she finally realized if he had, he would have been doing everyone, including her sister, a favor.)

DEAR ABBY: I am 26 and have been dating this guy I really like for three months.

He is great.

My biggest setback is his body hair. He honestly has more body hair than I have ever seen. This has kept me from being physically attracted to him.

I think everything is moving in the right direction, but I don’t know what to do about this issue. Should I love him how he is, or ask him to get rid of it? I don’t want him to feel self-conscious because he’s an awesome guy. — IN A HAIRY SITUATION IN ARIZONA DEAR IN A HAIRY SITUATION: This is a sensitive subject, one that should be approached with as much diplomacy as you can muster.

Because he seems to have everything else going for him, but the body hair is a turn-off, do talk to him about it.

Fortunately, over the past few years men have become more open to removing excessive body hair — or at least cutting it back so it’s not so overwhelming. (This is called “manscaping.”) There are also the options of waxing or laser treatments, if he is willing.

GOP picks team to take on Democrats in November

ABBY

Cover Oregon Executive Director Dr. Bruce Goldberg at a news conference at Cover Oregon headquarters in Durham. Federal prosecutors have subpoenaed state records for a grand jury investigation of the troubled Cover Oregon health insurance website, the governor’s office said Tuesday.

US subpoenas Oregon insurance website documents PORTLAND (AP) — A grand jury is investigating Oregon’s troubled health insurance exchange website, one of the most dysfunctional and expensive coverage marketplace flops in the nation.

The Oregon governor’s office released subpoenas Tuesday from the U.S. attorney’s office seeking state records related to the Cover Oregon site.

Oregon abandoned its plans for an independent online exchange after it failed to launch, and state officials said fixing it would be too time-consuming and expensive. Instead, Oregon last month decided to switch to the federal portal, making it the first state to do so.

The state paid its independent contractor, Oracle Corp., $134 million in federal funds to build what turned out to be a glitch-filled site.

Instead of signing up for health insurance in one sitting, Oregonians had to use a paper-online process that was costly and slow.

Several other states of the more than a dozen that built their own exchanges also

experienced problems with their sites. But only one — Maryland — also chose to scrap its site. Rather than use the federal portal, however, Maryland has decided to adopt the technology used on Connecticut’s successful exchange.

The subpoenas in Oregon were issued to both Cover Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority, which was responsible for the early technology development of the exchange site.

They demand records of communications between state officials involved in developing the website, five of whom have resigned. They include Bruce Goldberg, former head of the Oregon Health Authority; Rocky King, former Cover Oregon executive director; and Carolyn Lawson, the health authority’s former chief information officer.

The subpoenas also demand communications with the federal government about the status or functionality of the website and communications about federal funding reviews and lists of people attending them.

And they ask for communications with Exeter Group Inc., a Boston-based software company that told Oregon it had an already built, inexpensive exchange that could plug into the state’s existing technology.

Cover Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority must provide the documents

by June 6.

The agencies released a joint statement saying they will cooperate fully with federal officials.

“We will work collaboratively with the U.S. attorney’s office to provide any and all information we have and make any and all staff available to assist,” the statement said.

An investigation ordered

by Gov. John Kitzhaber found state managers failed to heed reports about problems that prevented the website from launching. It also found Oracle did a shoddy job in building the exchange.

Kitzhaber’s general counsel Liani Reeves said in a letter to the U.S. attorney’s office that the state would “fully comply” with the subpoenas.

PORTLAND (AP) — Revelations that Monica Wehby’s ex-husband and exboyfriend had both complained to police that she harassed them did little damage to her campaign, as she easily defeated state Rep. Jason Conger to take on U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley in the November election.

Also in Tuesday’s primary, GOP gubernatorial candidate Dennis Richardson defeated four rivals and will go up against Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber.

But the surprise of the night may have been a big win in Jackson and Josephine counties by opponents of genetically modified crops.

Voters in the Rogue Valley decided emphatically to ban genetically engineered crops.

In the Legislature, grassroots conservatives rejected establishment Republicans in three of four districts where they battled.

Accepting victory in front of cheering supporters at her campaign headquarters in City, Wehby Oregon addressed the police reports that surfaced in the final days of the campaign.

“I do have a message for those national Democrats who are willing to shred my family for their own political gain: People are tired of your dirty tricks,” Wehby said.

“We all know that the best way to defeat a bully is to stand up to him, and that is exactly what we are going to do.”

Wehby will face an uphill climb against Merkley, a Democrat. first-term

Republicans haven’t won a statewide race in Oregon in more than a decade.

“There’s a clear choice in the race for Senate between Monica Wehby, who will vote with national Republicans against Oregon’s priorities, and Jeff Merkley, who fights for Oregon and puts Oregon first,” Merkley campaign manager Alex Youn said in a statement.

In Southern Oregon, Jackson County voters approved by a 2-to-1 margin to outlaw genetically modified crops. A similar, lower-profile measure in neighboring Josephine County also was approved.

Though it’s a local issue, the Jackson County measure attracted national interest. A pair of competing campaigns raised $1.3 million to sway the county’s 120,000 registered voters. Nearly $1 million of that money was raised to defeat the proposed ban.

“The voters here have many generations of fruit and vegetable growing, so they’re among the most educated voters,” said Chuck Burr, president of the Southern Oregon Seed Growers Association. “The opposition spent a million dollars and couldn’t convince the people.”

A handful of state legislative races saw hard-fought contests between warring factions of the Republican Party, and they look to shake up the House GOP. Populist conservatives beat out establishment candidates backed by the business community in three of four races.

SALEM (AP) — The state plans to put gun lockers in Oregon prisons for corrections officers to stow the weapons they can begin bringing to work next month.

Except for the police and members of the military, state workers are prohibited from bringing weapons onto state property.

The officers want the firearms for personal safety while they’re commuting, saying they could be targeted or confused for police officers because of their uniforms.

In 2011, an Eastern Oregon officer was killed on his way to work when he stopped to help a man whose car was stuck.

A law effective June 6 grants an exception for corrections officers with concealed handgun permits.

They can store weapons in their cars if lockers are not provided.

Taylor was formally sentenced to death Tuesday in Eugene for killing a man in 2012 to take his car for a bank robbery.

The 58-year-old Eugene man becomes the 35th person on Oregon’s death row at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem.

His case will be automatically reviewed by the state Supreme Court and the appeals process could take decades.

A jury decided last week Taylor should be executed for his part in killing 22-year-old Celestino Gutierrez.

The Register-Guard reports the victim’s family condemned Taylor at his sentencing hearing. The mother, Rose Gutierrez, told Taylor he should do everyone a favor and kill himself.

Pepper spray canister prompts evacuation

Tribal groups: Coal terminal will hurt fish

OAK GROVE (AP) — An official at a senior living complex in Oak Grove, near Portland, says a malfunctioning pepper spray canister prompted the evacuation of a building Tuesday.

The Oregonian reports that Rose Villa Senior Living complex CEO Vassar Byrd says one resident and eight staffers started coughing uncontrollably after strange odors were detected in the dining room.

The building was evacuated while other staff members called 911.

Byrd says a resident’s pepper spray canister was, in his words, “involuntarily transmitted.”

Clackamas Fire District 1 spokesman Brandon Paxton says firefighters ventilated the building.

Washington developer buys historic paper mill site OREGON CITY (AP) — A Tacoma developer has bought a defunct paper mill at Willamette Falls in Oregon City, on the site of historical significance in the state.

British fur trader John McLoughlin built a sawmill there in 1829, and a paper mill operated there for more than a century until 2011.

Then the Blue Heron mill went into bankruptcy proceedings, its executives saying they couldn’t compete with Chinese competition.

The mill site is 23 acres, covered with about 50 buildings, many immense and unsightly. It was on the market for more than three years.

Three developers made offers and then backed out. A proposal for a city-countyMetro purchase fell apart.

The buyer who emerged was George Heidgerken, offering $2.2 million and a fast close, The Oregonian reports.

It turned out he likes sites that have an industrial past, faded glory and a lot of potential.

He acquired old Abitibi paper mill in Steilacoom, Wash., last year and part of the former Olympia brewery in Tumwater in 2010.

He also bought a 330,000-square-foot Nalley Foods warehouse complex near Tacoma.

Like the Oregon City site, they are all in the planning stage.

Heidgerken acknowledges he jumped in the Oregon City deal knowing little about the site or what he would do with it, although he has notions such as a “very active” farmers’ market, perhaps a hotel, art galleries and architecture that showcases Willamette Falls.

“I look at this project as glass ... glass and steel,” Heidgerken said.

DILBERT

Ingenious ways to beat frustration and save money, too Secretly, I feel like a genius when I discover a secondary use for this or that — in case I run out of this, but have plenty of that.

Like using a paper coffee filter to wash a glass top or mirror when I’m in a pinch for paper towels. Or using a paper towel to create a coffee filter when I discover at the worst moment EVERYDAY t h a t CHEAPSKATE we’re out of filters!

Yo u ’ r e going to feel like a genius, too, once you read t o d a y ’s tips from ingenMary i o u s Hunt readers about ways that they save time and money every day.

“OPEN FIRST” BOX. As a military family, whenever the movers arrived to move us to the next assignment, I always had one box I marked “Open First.” In it were bed sheets, towels, soap, coffee maker and toaster. No matter how late we arrived at our new home, we didn’t have to spend another night in a hotel. We could make our beds, get cleaned up and start the next day with coffee and toast, without having to open multiple boxes looking for stuff. — Cindy, Ontario, Canada SAFE LOCK SPRAY. So as not to damage your locks for the long term, use only a graphite-based spray to keep your locks from sticking in all weather conditions. We use Lock-Ease brand after finding that many other brands can cause damage at greater cost! — Kathie, South Carolina DOGGIE BAGS. My husband and I love to host dinner parties for our family and friends. I like to send leftovers home with our guests in repurposed gift bags (from birthday parties, etc).

The bags add a bit of charm and are much more tidy and pleasant-looking than a plastic grocery bag. — Maggie, Ohio S H O U T I T O FF . Even after trying oven cleaner, stove door cleaner and other products, we could not get rid of the crud on the glass front of our wood stove.

Finally, we found the solution! We place newspapers on the floor under the open doors and spray fullstrength Shout Triple Acting laundry stain remover on the glass. Let soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

Using a single-edge razor blade, scrape the black off the glass. Spray again lightly and wipe with a paper towel.

Works like a charm! — Lyle, email BREAKFAST RICE. Leftover cooked rice serves as a wonderful hot cereal.

Steam the rice with a little bit of water, and then serve with milk, chopped nuts and raisins or some other dried fruit. My children love it and frequently ask for breakfast rice. — Gigi, California VACUUM CORD SAVES TIME. I save a lot of time vacuuming my large home since purchasing a 50-foot extension cord that I keep coiled up in an attractive wicker basket. Now I can vacuum almost the entire house without retracing my steps or taking time to unplug and replug my vacuum cleaner. — Linda, Michigan Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Actor tells police he shot and killed wife

D I G E S T GOP picks experience over flamboyance WASHINGTON (AP) — Tuesday’s elections are the best evidence yet that Republicans are avoiding previous mistakes and improving their chances of controlling the Senate during President Barack Obama’s final two years in office.

GOP voters again chose solidly conservative nominees while rejecting the most extreme and outlandish types who led the party to painful losses in 2010 and 2012.

The simple way to view this year’s results, thus far, is to say “establishment” Republicans are outperforming tea party insurgents.

That’s largely true. But it blurs the extent to which nearly all Republican candidates — including some who have been in Congress for decades — have shifted rightward to stay in step with ardently conservative voters who helped create the tea party in 2009 and still dominate GOP primaries.

Forces near Ukraine headed to home bases MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s military units in the regions near Ukraine on Wednesday began moving to railway stations and airfields en route to their home bases, the defense ministry said.

Military units in the Belgorod, Bryansk and started regions Rostov marching back and are expected to arrive at their home bases before June 1, the defense ministry said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.

Yet NATO, which estimates that Russia has 40,000 troops along the border with repeated Ukraine, Wednesday it could not yet see any signs of a Russian pullout.

Mubarak sentenced to 3 years in prison CAIRO (AP) — A Cairo court on Wednesday convicted ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of embezzlement and sentenced him to three years in prison.

The graft case against the 86-year-old Mubarak, who is kept in custody at a military hospital, is one of two against the former president who was ousted in a popular uprising in 2011 after nearly three decades in power. He is being retried over the killings of hundreds of protesters during the uprising.

Mubarak’s two sons, onetime heir apparent Gamal and wealthy businessman Alaa, were also convicted Wednesday of graft and sentenced to four years in prison each in the same case.

Gay couples rush for marriage licenses PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Same-sex couples clamored for marriage licenses after a Pennsylvania judge’s ruling allowed them to join the rest of the Northeast in legalizing their relationships, with Philadelphia offices staying open late to handle a rush of applications.

Couples must wait three days after their application to get married unless a sympathetic judge grants a waiver.

Between now and then, Republican Gov. Tom Corbett could appeal and effectively put the ruling on hold, though he didn’t immediately indicate whether he would.

Senate to OK judge who wrote memos WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is predicting victory as senators near a vote on one of President Barack Obama’s most contentious picks for a federal judgeship, a former administration official who authored secret documents justifying the use of drones to kill an American overseas.

Wednesday’s crucial procedural vote on David Barron is coming a day after the Obama administration decided to publicly release a censored version of one memo arguing that targeting an American in counterteris operations rorism constitutional.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jace projected the image of a doting, hands-on father and husband to neighbors, but authorities are now trying to determine what prompted the veteran actor to tell police he shot and killed his wife while his young sons were in the home.

According to police, Jace shot his wife multiple times after she returned home with their children Monday evening. He called 911 and told a police dispatcher what he did and stepped out of the home just as officers arrived to find April, his wife of nearly 11 years, dead in the hallway.

Rescuers dig for victims of bombs JOS, Nigeria (AP) — Rescue workers armed with body bags on Wednesday dug into the rubble of buildings destroyed by two car bombs in a central Nigerian city as people searched for loved ones missing in the market attack that killed at least 118.

Most victims are women and children vendors, said Mohammed Abdulsalam of the National Emergency Management Agency.

“We expect to find more bodies in the rubble,” Abdulsalam said.

“Allahu akhbar!” some young Muslim men yelled provocatively at an AP photographer near the scene, using the war cry of Islamic militants that means “God is great” within hearing of sol-

diers at a checkpoint.

Many of the country’s highest-profile figures were summoned for a summit of political enemies that was unthinkable until now.

BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito issued an order late Tuesday suspending the planned execution of a Missouri inmate with a little more than an hour to spare before the inmate’s scheduled lethal injection.

Alito, who handles emergency matters for Missouri and other states covered by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, didn’t explain why he issued the order suspending Russell Bucklew’s execution, which had been scheduled for 12:01 a.m.

Wednesday. But Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster issued a statement saying his office understands the full Supreme Court would consider Bucklew’s requests on Wednesday.

Under Missouri law, the state has 24 hours to carry out a death warrant, meaning it could still execute Bucklew anytime on Wednesday if the high court rejects his appeals.

Alito’s order came shortly after the full 8th Circuit court lifted a stay granted to Bucklew hours earlier by a three-judge panel of that court.

Bucklew, who was sentenced to death for killing a southeast Missouri man in 1996, suffers from a rare medical condition that his attorneys claim could cause him great pain during the execution process.

The 8th Circuit panel’s 2-1 ruling read that Bucklew’s “unrebutted medical evidence demonstrates the requisite sufficient likelihood of unnecessary pain and suffering beyond the constitutionally permissible amount inherent in all executions.”

United States. “Our job is to prevent that from happening and to stay united and stay focused on what we share. ...

We want to preserve Ukraine’s territorial integrity, its sovereignty; we want to help Ukraine become a full, prosperous country; we want to create a diplomatic solution. I don’t think anybody can divide us on this.”

Still, simmering tensions between the U.S. and EU have been evident for months.

Germany and France have shunned sectorial sanctions without first trying again to broker a dialogue between Ukraine’s government and pro-Russian separatists in the country’s east — a step that garnered only lukewarm U.S. support. The EU can only impose sanctions by unanimous agreement from all 28 of its member states, and the Obama administration for months has pushed Europe to embrace U.S. plans for tougher penalties against Moscow.

Officials say Putin maintains an amiable relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. France, meanwhile, is moving ahead with a $1.2 billion contract to sell warships to Russia.

The strain became clear in February, shortly after the Ukraine unrest peaked and the government in Kiev was overturned. A bugged phone call posted on YouTube with Russian subtitles captured Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland dismissing the EU with a common expletive in frustration over Europe’s pace in helping Ukraine. Nuland later apologized, and the State Department described the incident as “a new low in Russian tradecraft.”

The EU has been far more cautious about sanctioning Russia’s economic and energy sectors, in part because of longstanding trade between Moscow and European nations.

President Barack Obama speaks in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington on Wednesday following his meeting with Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki. The White House moved to address the growing furor over allegations of misconduct at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Obama: Any misconduct at VA will be punished WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to head off a growing furor over veterans’ health care, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that allegations of misconduct at VA hospitals are “dishonorable” and will be not be tolerated by his administration.

“I will not stand for it — not as commander in chief but also not as an American,” Obama said following an Oval Office meeting with embattled VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.

His administration is under mounting pressure from Capitol Hill to address troubling allegations of treatment delays and preventable deaths at VA hospitals. The VA Inspector General’s office said late Tuesday that 26 facilities are being investigated nationwide — up from 10 just last week — including a Phoenix hospital where 40 veterans allegedly died while waiting for treatment and staff there kept a secret list of patients waiting for appointments to hide delays in care.

Shinseki, a retired Army

four-star general, is facing calls for his resignation from some lawmakers. Obama spoke warmly of Shinseki on Wednesday, saying the secretary had poured his heart and soul into his job, but said there would be accountability if the allegations of misconduct are proven to be true.

“We are going to fix whatever is wrong and so long as I have the privilege of serving as commander in chief, I’m going to keep on fighting to deliver the care and the benefits and the opportunities that you and your families deserve, now and for decades to come,” Obama said.

The president spoke hours before the House was scheduled to vote on a bill that would grant the VA secretary more authority to fire or demote senior executives.

The White House has said it shares the goals of the House measure — to ensure accountability at the VA — but has concerns about some of the details.

Obama’s statement marked his first public com-

Russia drives wedge between the EU, US WASHINGTON (AP) — The crisis in Ukraine is giving Russia an opening to drive a wedge between the United States and Europe just as Western powers try to repair a struggling trade deal and decide how to bolster a cashstrapped NATO. For years, the West has frustrated Moscow by offering former Soviet states membership into economic and military alliances, undercutting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ambitions to build a regional economic powerhouse to rival the European Union and expand his military reach throughout the old Eastern Bloc.

But sharp divisions between the U.S. and EU over how severely to punish Russia for intervening in Ukraine have given Moscow the chance to upend Western unity on other key geopolitical and long-term strategic issues. At the same time, with the West rejecting his approach to world affairs, Putin was in Beijing this week getting support from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In an interview last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the EU is kept on “a short leash” by the United States.

Officials in Washington and Brussels insist they generally agree on how to limit Russia’s alleged meddling in Ukraine. Late last week, the top U.S. and British diplomats announced a new threat to sanction Russian business, financial, energy and mining sectors if Moscow disrupts Sunday’s presidential election in Ukraine.

Pirates finish fourth

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

Marshfield’s boys golf team capped its first year in Class 4A by taking the fourth-place trophy at the state tournament in Redmond on Tuesday.

Kasey Banks and Preston Luckman both finished in the top 10 to win individual medals as the Pirates took eight strokes off their score from the tournament’s first day to earn the first trophy for the program in years.

“They’re excited,” said Marshfield coach Scott Banks. “It was our goal to get a trophy this year, so we achieved that goal, and we all return next year.”

Marshfield improved from its first-day score of 335 to shoot 327 Tuesday. The Pirates held their spot in fourth place in the team standings after getting a push from Hidden Valley. After nine holes, the Mustangs had slipped in front of the Pirates, but Marshfield finished strong on the second nine.

“Some of the teams folded on the back nine,” Banks said. “We did a lot better on the back nine.”

Luckman, in particular, stood out the final nine holes, shooting 1-under par.

“He played really well on the back,” Banks said.

“The front nine, I struggled really bad today,” Luckman said. “I told myself I needed to pull it together for my team. I just told myself to take it one hole at a time and try to make pars.”

Seaside won the team title with a two-day total of 649. La Salle Prep was second at 655, followed

by Ridgeview at 661 and the Pirates at 662.

Both La Salle Prep and Ridgeview move up to Class 5A next year and all five Marshfield players are eligible to return.

“We’re excited about that,” Banks said.

Baker’s Brandon Ellwanger took the individual title at 144, three shots ahead of Far West League champion Tyler Franke of Sutherlin.

Kasey Banks tied for fifth at 154 and Luckman tied for ninth at 158.

“I thought it was a lot of fun,” Banks said. “I was playing really good.”

He added the top-10 finish was “one of my goals.”

Luckman had the same reaction.

Coquille pole vaulter Tristan Dixon gets some pointers at Marshfield High School on Tuesday afternoon from the Pirates’ pole vault coach Steve Puckett. Dixon was practicing at the Marshfield track in preparation to the state meet in Eugene.

Coquille senior endures injuries

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COQUILLE — People often praise sports as a way to learn life lessons teamwork, sportsmanship and commitment.

For Coquille senior Tristan Dixon, too often the biggest lesson has been perseverance. During his career, he’s suffered three injuries that could be considered horrific or gruesome, all impacting his chances to be successful.

But as he prepares to compete in the pole vault at the Class 3A state track meet this week, he has accepted them with a maturity far beyond his years.

“I had a great high school career,” he said. “I wouldn’t change anything. In the end, I got to do everything that I wanted.”

Nobody could blame him if he had a more pessimistic attitude.

“I’ve been injury prone,” he admitted in an understatement.

The first incident, and the one he considers most scary, came when he took a hard hit during a football game against Sutherlin his

Dixon’s sister sings Thursday Tristan Dixon isn’t the only member of his family performing at the state track meet Thursday.

While he will compete in the pole vault at Hayward Field, his younger sister, Kaitlyn, will sing the national anthem before the start of the running events that day.

Until this year, Kaitlyn also was on the track team, just missing qualifying for state last year in the shot put. But this

sophomore season and suffered a concussion.

He was carted off the football field on a stretcher and flown to Eugene that night.

In a testament to his competitiveness and team spirit, he gave a thumbs up as the stretcher was pushed across the field, letting his teammates and Coquille’s fans know he was OK.

year, she chose to pass on track while focusing on the school’s debate program. In that activity, she qualified for the national speech and debate tournament.

Kaitlyn, a junior who also is a cheerleader during the fall and winter, sang the national anthem before a number of the school’s basketball games and was selected by officials with the Oregon School Activities Association to sing at the state meet.

That didn’t make things any easier on his parents, Angela and Albert, who got a close-up view as one of the team’s assistant coaches.

But that didn’t stop Dixon from returning to the field to finish his football career.

“I love football,” he said.

He also loves his other two sports, wrestling and track and

field. The second horrific injury came on the wrestling mat, during the state tournament his junior year.

In his first match at Portland, Dixon suffered a dislocated elbow.

He never harbored any bad feelings toward his opponent, calling the injury “unfortunate.”

But it cost him his best chance to place at the state meet.

Of course, he had no way of knowing then that his senior wrestling season would be hampered by the third, and probably most gruesome, serious injury.

During the final game of the football regular season, senior night for Dixon, he suffered a dislocated and badly broken ankle.

The injury required surgery, including a plate being inserted into his foot to provide support for the ankle.

Dixon went through an aggressive rehabilitation schedule, and was able to return to the mat just before the district wrestling meet.

But he failed to advance to state.

Pirate pair preps for state

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — When Marshfield’s three girls travel up to Corvallis for the Class 4A state tennis finals Thursday, they might be making a long trip for a short stay.

Marshfield qualified two entries to state, the doubles team of Abby Clough and Sara Springael and singles player Katie Boesl, but both teams will have to win a playin round match just to ensure a spot in the state bracket.

For this crop of Pirates, the experience of getting to compete at state might be worth the three-

hour drive regardless.

“Last year nobody made it to state, so for me it’s an achievement just being able to go to state — no matter how we perform — I’m just excited to go,” Clough said. “It’s pretty cool, mostly for Sara. She’s an exchange student so she doesn’t get a lot of opportunities like this.”

Springael is from Belgium, and the transition from European to American tennis culture hasn’t been too trying for her. In Belgium, sports aren’t connected to the school, making practice every day a practical impossibility.

COOS BAY — If peaking going into the playoffs is a good thing, Marshfield’s softball team should feel great.

The Pirates head into their Class 4A play-in game Thursday against La Salle Prep on an eight-game winning streak, barely sneaking into the postseason in the process.

“I think going into this having an eight-game win streak is some good motivation,” first-year Marshfield head coach Brooke Toy said. “I’m glad we peaked now. I wish it could’ve been a little earlier, but I’m glad it’s now be cause we could’ve been on the other side of the downfall. So yeah, we peaked at the right time.”

After a pair of heartbreaking losses to Douglas in 1 late April left the Pirates 5-6 in league and 3 ⁄2 games back of third place, Marshfield finally turned the corner on its season. The streak started with an 8-0 win over Brookings-Harbor where Marshfield’s Mackenzie Johnson stole the show, pitching a complete game, two-hit shutout. At the time, it was Marshfield’s best performance of the year.

“Once they beat Brookings, they realized that we could really do this,” Toy said. “Once they believed it, we took off.”

Following that win, the Pirates 10-runned their next three opponents before handing eventual Far West champion South Umpqua its first two league losses of the year.

A nonleague win against Coquille last Friday bumped Marshfield’s power ranking up enough to earn the trip to La Salle Prep.

“I don’t even now if they expected themselves to go this far, so I’m really excited we got to this point and have some of the same success as last year’s team,” Toy said.

Last year, Marshfield hosted a Class 5A play-in round game, beating Crescent Valley before traveling to Sandy and losing to the eventual state champion Pioneers.

This will be Toy’s first foray into the postseason as a head coach, and she’s hoping to extend the high school careers of Marshfield’s two seniors.

Abby Osborne and Essence Botts both have contributed in separate ways.

“Me and Abby want to make sure this isn’t our last game,” Botts said. “A lot of the teams we played at the beginning of the season didn’t expect us to get this far.”

Osborne isn’t quite in the same boat as Botts.

Osborne plans to play next year for Southwestern Oregon Community College, something Botts probably won’t be able to do at the next level. Even with the heightened nerves of the postseason, knowing Thursday could be her teammates’ last game of the season and Botts’ last game ever, Osborne has some added motivation.

Sports Tigers top Devils in tuneup game

Cubs beat Tanaka

THE WORLD

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Masahiro Tanaka had his regular-season unbeaten streaked snapped at 42 starts, allowing a career-high four runs in six innings, as the last-place Chicago Cubs beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Tuesday.

The Cubs honored the retiring Derek Jeter before the game, then handed Tanaka his first loss in nine major league starts.

Tanaka (6-1) had been 340 in Japan and North America the last two seasons. He did drop Game 6 of the Japan Series last year before earning the save in Game 7. He hadn’t lost a regular-season game since the Seibu Lions beat the Rakuten Golden Eagles on Aug. 19, 2012.

Jason Hammel (5-2) pitched solid ball into the sixth and Hector Rondon retired Jeter on a grounder with the bases loaded in the ninth to end it.

INTERLEAGUE Orioles 9, Pirates 2: Chris Davis hit three home runs, doubling his season total, and drove in five runs to lead Baltimore.

Davis hit a two-run blast during a four-run fifth inning that put MLB t h e rioles Recap Oahead 6-1 then hit a solo shot in the seventh and two-run homer in the ninth. It was Davis’ second career threehomer game - the other came on Aug. 24, 2012 against Toronto - and seventh multihomer game.

After leading the major leagues and setting a franchise record with 53 homers last season, Davis hit three in his first 30 games.

Miguel Gonzalez (2-3) pitched sixth innings for Baltimore.

Francisco Liriano (0-4) allowed six runs and nine hits in five innings for Pittsburgh.

Twins 5, Padres 3: Kevin Correia scattered three runs and four hits over six innings and Kurt Suzuki hit an inside-the-park homer for Minnesota.

Correia (2-5), a San Diego native, struck out six and walked a batter in winning for only the second time in his last six starts. Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances.

The Brewers have lost four in a row overall, their longest skid of 2014.

Rockies 5, Giants 4: Nolan Arenado hit a twoout, two-run double off the wall in the ninth inning for Colorado.

It was the second straight game the Rockies have won in walkoff fashion, with Justin Morneau hitting a two-run homer in the 10th against San Diego on Sunday.

The NL West-leading Giants took a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth on an RBI double by Tyler Colvin against closer LaTroy Hawkins (2-0).

Arenado hit a 2-2 pitch off closer Sergio Romo (3-1) that glanced off the top of the fence in left and bounced back into the outfield, easily scoring Troy Tulowitzki and then a hustling Carlos Gonzalez with the winning run.

Phillies 6, Marlins 5: Jimmy Rollins homered for the second game in a row to put the Philadelphia ahead to stay.

A.J. Burnett (3-3), who pitched for the Marlins from 1999-2005, won his first start at Marlins Park despite struggling with his command. He walked four and needed 96 pitches to get through five innings.

Dodgers 9, Mets 4: Adrian Gonzalez homered again in his second consecutive three-hit game and Yasiel Puig reached base five times to lead Los Angeles.

Melky Cabrera and Erik Kratz also homered for the Blue Jays, who won their second straight and sixth in eight games.

Athletics 3, Rays 0: Drew Pomeranz won his third consecutive start since moving from the bullpen into the rotation, Coco Crisp drove in two runs before departing with an injury, and the surging Oakland Athletics beat the Rays.

Pomeranz (4-1) allowed three hits, two walks and had three strikeouts over five innings. He has not given up a run in his three starts, all of which lasted five innings.

Indians 6, Tigers 2: Trevor Bauer outpitched former Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander and tamed Detroit’s menacing lineup, leading the Indians to a win over the Tigers.

Bauer (1-1) was recalled earlier in the day for his second start this season, and the right-hander held the AL’s top hitting team to just two runs and seven hits in sixplus innings.

White Sox 7, Royal 6: Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer and the White Sox defeated the Royals.

Andre Rienzo (4-0) limited the Royals to two runs and five hits over six innings. He struck out a career-high eight.

Angels 9, Astros 3: David Freese had a seasonhigh four RBIs after getting reinstated from the disabled list, Tyler Skaggs pitched seven solid innings and the Angels scored five unearned runs against Scott Feldman to beat the Astros.

Mike Trout had three RBIs in his second game of the season as a designated hitter, helping the Angels win for the ninth time in 12 games.

Cardinals 5, Diamondbacks 0: Adam Wainwright threw a one-hitter, facing one hitter over the minimum, and the St. Louis Cardinals ended an eightgame home run drought with long balls from Matt Adams and Jhonny Peralta in a win over Arizona.

Working on six days rest because of a rainout and day off, Wainwright (7-2) retired the first 11 batters before Paul Goldschmidt doubled off the wall in center with two outs in the fourth.

Nationals 9, Reds 4: Denard Span was at his disruptive best, getting three hits off the major’s top pitcher and forcing a pair of throwing errors Tuesday night to lead the Washington Nationals to a 9-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Span finished 5 for 5 with two runs, two doubles, two RBIs and a stolen base as the Nationals accomplished a first for 2014: They made Johnny Cueto (4-3) look mortal.

The Reds’ ace allowed more than two runs, more than five hits and failed to pitch at least seven innings — all for the first time this season.

Braves 5, Brewers 0: Julio Teheran pitched a sixhitter for his second shutout of the season, Justin Upton had three RBIs and the Atlanta Braves won their third in a row, beating the slumping Milwaukee Brewers.

It was another laugher in the matchup between firstplace teams, the Braves jumping ahead with three runs in the third and cruising to victory after opening the series with a 9-3 rout.

and Springael is better on the baseline, focusing on ground strokes. Marshfield head coach Aron Boesl decided to team them up after he saw their skill sets and temperamental compatibility. A few months and a trip to state later, it seems to be working.

“They were persistent in wanting to stay together,” Boesl said. “So we did, and I felt they would eventually jell and they really did at districts.”

Just recently, the two made an adjustment and switched sides of the court.

Clough used to be on left and it “felt awkward” to her. Now the two are more cohesive, they’re communicating better and seem to be playing a lot better. With the improvement, the pair was able to

finish fourth at districts, which guaranteed a spot at state.

“It feels like we’re getting the ball down a lot better,” Clough said.

“We’ve had our ups and downs,” Springael explained.

“Everything is good now and we’re excited the both of us.”

Katie Boesl also will be competing at state for the first time.

Boesl and her family have been in Boston over the weekend, watching her brother graduate from college. She flew into Portland late Tuesday, will make the fourhour trip back to Coos Bay by 4:30 p.m. practice today, then make the trek back up north to Corvallis by match time at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Aron Boesl, who plays the

roles of both dad and coach, thinks the time she’s gotten away from the court will help.

“She has had limited hitting here, but she had a needed break,” he said from the Boston airport. “I have learned over the years that Katie always gives her best so I don't worry too much, we just want her to leave the court knowing she did her best.”

It seems like most of the Pirates share the sentiment that win or lose, state will be worth the drive anyway.

“I’m just happy I got to state,” Springael said. “Now, I don’t really have stress because I’m fine with however I do. We’re just gonna try our best and get as far as we can.”

best out of the situation and persevere.”

Because Dixon recovered as well as he did, he’s been able to enjoy his entire track season, when he has reached new heights in the pole vault, clearing 13 feet, which makes him one of the favorites this week.

The pole vault, too, has brought life lessons. As a sophomore, he was favored to advance to state, but failed to clear his opening height at the district meet when he could have entered at a lower height and qualified.

Last year, he placed eighth at state, clearing 11-9.

That he’s successful at all

in the event has been due to his own hard work, as well as coaching from both his dad and Marshfield assistant Steve Puckett.

When Dixon started picking up the pole vault, Coquille didn’t have any experienced coaches for the event, which includes much more technique than most others.

“It’s extremely technical,” he said. “There’s so many things you’ve got to do right.

If you mess one of them up, they’re all going to get messed up toward the end.”

Albert Dixon started learning the event along with Tristan. Both took tips from

Puckett, who has a wealth of experience.

“We’ve been fortunate,” Albert said. “All the insights Puckett gave were really good and helpful.”

“I’ve learned tons from Steve Puckett,” Tristan said.

“He’s been nice. Anytime he can help, he helps, and explains things to my dad things he can watch for.”

Of course, Puckett can only help so much, which is where Albert comes in.

“He does a great job,” Dixon said. “I wouldn’t be where I am without him there every day. He’s really picked up a lot. And he can pick up on some things I do wrong on

He enters state with momentum, having cleared 13 feet to win the district title last week. That matched his career best in a meet, though he has gotten over the bar at 13-6 in practice.

If he makes that height, he could contend for the state title. But Dixon doesn’t put pressure on himself to place high, especially given his background.

“Just getting to state just shows me that my hard work is paying off and staying with it paid off,” he said. “I’m just really thankful that I’m able to participate in the sport and do better.”

Pac-12 takes the lead pushing for NCAA reform

BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ The Associated Press

Pac-12 university presidents have sent a letter to their colleagues at the other four major football conferences calling for sweeping changes to the NCAA model and autonomy for those leagues.

A copy of the letter was obtained

by The Associated Press on Tuesday night. It was sent last week to the other 53 university presidents from the Southeastern Conference, Big Ten, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference.

Spurred in part by Northwestern football players’ move to unionize, the Pac-12 presidents outlined a 10-point plan for reform that includes many proposals commissioners have been advocating for several years, including a stipend for athletes. The NCAA is working

on a new governance structure that will allow the five wealthiest conferences to make some rules without the support of smaller Division I schools.

“We acknowledge the core objectives could prove to be expensive and controversial, but the risks of inaction or moving too slowly are far greater,” the letter reads. “The time for tinkering with the rules and making small adjustments is over.”

Arizona State President Michael Crow told the AP that his counterparts in the Pac-12 are not “happy with where things are going. We’re not happy with the nature of the debate out there. And we felt like our voice is not well understood.”

“We’ve been talking about the need for reform for a long time, and so in a sense our thinking has

coalesced,” Crow said. “There’s just so much thinking going on relative to the NCAA. So we thought it was time to say, ‘Well, this is what we think the NCAA should be, and this is how we think it should work.”’

The full list of proposals included in the letter are: ■ Permit institutions to make scholarship awards up to the full cost of attendance.

■ Provide reasonable ongoing medical or insurance assistance for student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury in competition or practice. Continue efforts to reduce the incidence of disabling injury.

■ Guarantee scholarships for enough time to complete a bachelor’s degree, provided that the student remains in good academic standing.

■ Decrease the demands placed on the athlete in-season, correspondingly increase the time available for studies and campus life, by preventing the abuse of organized “voluntary” practices to circumvent the limit of 20 hours per week and more realistically assess the time away from campus and other commitments during the season.

■ Similarly decrease time demands out of season by reducing out-of-season competition and practices, and by considering shorter seasons in specific sports.

■ Further strengthen the Academic Progress Rate requirements for postseason play.

■ Address the “one and done” phenomenon in men’s basketball. If the NBA and its Players Association are unable to agree to raising the age limit for players, consider restoring

the freshman ineligibility rule in men’s basketball.

■ Provide student-athletes a meaningful role in governance at the conference and NCAA levels.

■ Adjust existing restrictions so that student-athletes preparing for the next stage of their careers are not unnecessarily deprived of the advice and counsel of agents and other competent professionals, but without professionalizing intercollegiate athletics.

■ Liberalize the current rules limiting the ability of student-athletes to transfer between institutions.

Pac-12 presidents are asking for a response to the proposed reforms

by June 4. Crow said the decision by Pac-12 presidents to send the letter was unanimous and the initial feedback from university presidents has been positive.

Sports NFL owners delay vote on playoffs

Miami evens series INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana thought it had taken control Tuesday night.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade stole it right back.

The four-time MVP and perennial All-Star did what they always seem to — bailed out the Heat in a desperate moment. This time the two All-Stars spurred a decisive 12-2 fourth-quarter spurt that led Miami past Indiana 87-83 to tie the Eastern Conference series at 1-1.

“We’re very confident coming down the stretch because we believe in our defense,” Wade said. “When our defense is the way it should be us moving around, running around, doing the things we should do offensively we got two guys that we can put the ball in their hands and they make the best play for the team. So you have confidence in that.

That’s why we don’t break a sweat too much in those moments.”

The two mainstays sure had to work hard, especially late, Tuesday.

Wade scored 10 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, and James scored 12 of his 22 during the same 12-minute stretch. Together, they combined for Miami’s final 20 points and all but three of the Heat’s 25 points in the quarter — just enough to avoid falling into a 2-0 hole for the first time since the first round of the 2010 playoffs.

Miami has won 11 straight postseason games following a loss, a span covering 40 playoff games without back-toback losses, and this one might have been their toughest job yet.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — NFL owners tabled any vote expanding the playoffs to 14 teams at their spring meetings Tuesday.

There is strong sentiment among the owners to add a wild-card team in each conference to the postseason, most likely beginning in 2015.

Such a setup would eliminate one of the first-round byes, with only the team with the best record in each conference getting a week off at the beginning of the playoffs.

New York Giants owner John Mara, who is against adding more playoff teams, said the topic probably will come up for more discussion in October.

The players’ union says it needs to be consulted on an expanded postseason, and Mara said that would happen at some point if the owners decide to expand the playoff field.

NFL faces new lawsuit from former players

The Associated Press

Miami guard Norris Cole signals a 3-point bucket against Indiana during the fourth quarter Tuesday.

“Today was just about how bad we want it,” Wade said. “This wasn’t about Xs and Os. It was just about how bad do we want to win this game? We proved it. We showed it.”

The Heat can take advantage of their opportunity when the series shifts back to Miami for Game 3 on Saturday.

Frustrated Indiana had plenty of chances, too.

After wiping out a 41-37

halftime deficit and building a 63-56 lead late in the third quarter, the Pacers allowing James to find Chris Bosh and Norris Cole for open 3s that made it 63-62. When the Pacers rebuilt a 73-69 lead midway through the fourth quarter and had a chance to extend it, Roy Hibbert missed a 12-foot jumper.

James and Wade dominated the rest of the game.

Lance Indiana’s Stephenson tied his playoff

career high with 25 points.

Paul George had 14.

But it’s the third straight series Indiana has lost homecourt advantage in either Game 1 or 2 after fighting so hard to get the top seed in the East, and they know it won’t be easy getting it back.

“We’ve got to go on their floor and take a game the same way they did,” George said. “We gave this one away, so we have to work even harder on their floor.”

Cavaliers strike gold in lottery again NEW YORK (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers would prefer to be known for being good, not lucky.

Maybe next year.

For now, disappointment is replaced by disbelief, as even they are amazed by their remarkable run of lottery luck.

“It was incredible,” general manager David Griffin said Tuesday. “When Cleveland didn’t pop up at nine, I knew obviously we had moved up and I had to gather myself for a second.

Just a remarkable feeling.”

Familiar one, too.

The Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year and third time in the last four.

They moved up from the ninth spot, when they had just a 1.7 percent chance of winning the top selection.

“It seems surreal,” Cavs vice chairman Jeff Cohen said. “This is three out of four years and we had a 1.7 percent chance of coming up with the first pick and we pulled it off again.”

They drafted Kyrie Irving first in 2011 and will hope to do better with this win than last year, when they took Anthony Bennett, who had a forgettable rookie season.

Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, was on the podium for the previous two wins, but

The Associated Press

Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, left, listens to Philadelphia 76ers adviser Julius Irving during the NBA basketball draft lottery on Tuesday.

Griffin was there this time.

He had a pin on his lapel from his late grandmother and was carrying one of Nick Gilbert’s bowties, which was as lucky in his breast pocket as it was with Nick wearing it.

The Cavs can now choose among the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid of Kansas, Duke’s Jabari Parker, or another player from what’s considered a deep draft.

“This means everything,” Cohen said. “This is the deepest draft arguably since LeBron (James) and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony came out.”

The Cavs won that one, too, in 2003, when they picked James. But they have been lottery regulars since he bolted for Miami in 2010, and they want that to stop.

The Milwaukee Bucks fell one spot to second and the Philadelphia 76ers will draft third. The Bucks had a 25 percent chance of winning after a league-worst 15-67 record, but the team with the best odds hasn’t won since 2004.

The expected strength of the class led to speculation that teams were tanking in hopes of getting a high pick.

But the Cavs had playoff expectations, hoping a strong season could make them attractive to James if he was interested in returning home as a free agent.

Nick Gilbert said last year he expected the Cavs to be done with the lottery, but they were right back in Times Square after a disappointing season that resulted in them

firing Mike Brown after just one year and a 33-49 record in his second stint with the team. Another top selection surely will make Cleveland more attractive to prospective coaches.

The city of Cleveland may be on a 50-year championship drought, but sure does have this lottery thing figured out.

The 2011 win was also a stunner, when the Cavs moved up from the No. 8 spot with a pick they had acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers.

Orlando dropped a spot to fourth and also will have the No. 12 pick from Denver. Utah is No. 5 and the Lakers and Boston Celtics couldn’t make the most of rare lottery appearances, with Los Angeles at No. 7 and Boston at No. 6.

The 76ers will have two top-10 picks: their own and New Orleans’ at No. 10 from last year’s trade that sent Jrue Holiday to the Pelicans.

“If we had No. 3 alone, I would be a little disappointed and so would our group. But the fact that we also have the 10th pick, we may have done better than anyone else,” said Hall of Famer Julius Erving, who represented them. “We can get two players out of this draft or leverage those two picks.”

Still, the big winners — again — were the Cavs.

Sacramento approves funding for new arena SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson led the City Council in approving a $477 million arena for the Kings NBA franchise late Tuesday and immediately hailed the project for raising the city’s profile.

The council voted 7-2 on the package during a late-night meeting that caps off Sacramento’s yearlong tussle to keep the team from moving to Seattle. Johnson, a former three-time NBA All-Star, declared “Long live the Kings” after the final vote, and the chamber erupted in cheers along with team owners.

“We made a comeback for the ages and in doing so, I feel like we unleashed the very best that Sacramento has to offer,” Johnson said.

Construction on the crown-shaped sports facility will break ground this summer and open in time for the 201617 season. According to the team, the 17,500-seat arena will be slightly larger

than the Kings’ current aging facility and will feature a see-through entrance and a silver exterior with diamondshaped windows.

Under the 35-year deal, the city would be responsible for a $223 million subsidy, much of it financed through a parking revenue bond. The city also is transferring $32 million worth of land and allowing the team to operate six digital billboards.

In return, the Kings would contribute $254 million to construct the arena and develop surrounding land with a hotel, office tower and shopping.

Kings President Chris Granger opened the meeting by calling it a historic day for the team and Sacramento region, saying the arena would serve as a hub for economic development. The project would bring 11,000 construction jobs and 4,000 permanent jobs, he said.

“This is certainly bigger than bas-

ketball,” Granger said. “But it doesn’t just end there. At the very core, this project is about community.”

Opponents including Patrick Soluri, a Sacramento attorney, vowed to continue to fight the city’s subsidy. A petition drive had failed to qualify for the ballot.

“The mayor and City Council no longer represent the interests of ordinary citizens,” Soluri said. “Cronyism is running rampant, subsidies for the super-wealthy are handed out at the expense of working-class people and basic municipal services.”

The NBA had told the city that it must open the arena by 2017 or risk losing the Kings. Former Kings owners George, Joe and Gavin Maloof considered moving the team to Las Vegas, Anaheim and Virginia Beach, Virginia, until announcing an agreement that called for investor Chris Hansen to buy the team and move it to Seattle.

WASHINGTON — Opening another legal attack on the NFL over the longterm health of its athletes, a group of retired players accused the league in a lawsuit Tuesday of cynically supplying them with powerful painkillers and other drugs that kept them in the game but led to serious complications later in life.

The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages on behalf of more than 500 exathletes, charges the NFL with putting profits ahead of players’ health.

To speed injured athletes’ return to the field, team doctors and trainers dispensed drugs illegally, without obtaining prescriptions or warning of the possible side effects, the plaintiffs contend.

Some football players said they were never told they had broken bones and were instead fed pills to mask the pain. One said that instead of surgery, he was given antiinflammatory drugs and excused from practices so he could play in games. Others said that after years of free pills from the NFL, they retired addicted to painkillers.

McIlroy, Wozniaki break off their engagement DUBLIN — Rory McIlroy broke off his engagement to tennis player Caroline Wozniacki only days after sending out wedding invitations.

The two-time major champion saie “the problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.”

The 25-year-old McIlroy is a former top-ranked golfer who won the U.S. Open in 2011 and the U.S. PGA Championship in 2012.

Wozniacki, 23, has also been ranked No. 1 in her sport but never won a Grand Slam title.

They have been dating since 2011, and got engaged a few months ago on New Year’s Eve. McIlroy said, “I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had.”

BASEBALL Franco gets hit in first game as 55-year-old FORT WORTH, Texas — Julio Franco can still hit at age 55.

Franco, the three-time All-Star and former American League batting champion, went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Tuesday night in his first game for the Fort Worth Cats of the independent United League. He is a player-coach during the Cats’ seasonopening nine-game homestand.

At 49, Franco was the oldest active player in the majors when he played his last game for Atlanta in 2007. He has now played professionally in five different decades, starting in the minors in 1978 at age 19.

Franco played parts of 23 major league seasons for eight teams from 1982-2007, with stints in Japan, Mexico and South Korea during that time.

He has more than 4,200 hits in professional baseball.

SOCCER MLS adds to suspension for Portland player NEW YORK — D.C. United forward Eddie Johnson has been suspended for one game by Major League Soccer for a reckless challenge on Montreal goalkeeper Troy Perkins last weekend.

Johnson, left off the American preliminary World Cup roster, scored in the 84th minute to give D.C. a 1-1 tie with Montreal on Saturday.

MLS said Tuesday that the MLS Players Union unsuccessfully appealed the penalty for the reckless challenge, which occurred in the 60th minute. Johnson also was fined for making contact with the face of Montreal defender Wandrille Lefevre following the challenge with Perkins.

In addition, the MLS disciplinary committee doubled the suspension of Portland defender Alvas Powell to two games for a serious foul against Columbus defender Chad Barson last weekend.

ATLANTA — Build it and the Super Bowl will come.

That message rang loud and clear Tuesday when Minneapolis was awarded the 2018 game after a vote by owners rewarded the city for its new stadium deal.

The owners chose Minneapolis and the $1 billion stadium planned for the site of the old Metrodome to host the championship over and Orleans New Indianapolis.

“In large part, it was due to recognition of the great work they’ve done on the stadium,” Commissioner Roger Goodell noted.

New Orleans bid committee members were certain the new Minneapolis stadium, set to open in 2016, swung the vote. The stadium will hold up to 72,000 for the COLLEGE SPORTS Super Bowl.

GOLF Portland LPGA tourney returns to original name PORTLAND — The Portland Classic is making a comeback.

The LPGA’s annual tournament stop at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, known as the Safeway Classic for the past 18 years, has a new sponsor in locally based Cambia Health Solutions.

The tour stop, which dates back 43 years, is the oldest non-major on the LPGA tour. The Portland Classic was its original name.

The 72-hole tournament with a purse of $1.3 million will be played at Columbia Edgewater from Aug. 28-31.

Suzann Pettersen won the tournament last year by two strokes over runner-up Stacy Lewis.

Proceeds from the Portland Classic will benefit children’s charities in Oregon.

Oregon forms new panel on sexual misconduct EUGENE — Following the dismissal of three basketball players in the wake of a police investigation into an alleged rape, Oregon has formed a panel to review prevention and response practices in sexual misconduct cases.

University President Michael Gottfredson, Vice President for Student Affairs Robin Holmes, and athletic director Rob Mullens announced the formation of the independent committee Monday.

Dotson, Damyean Dominic Artis and Brandon Austin were dismissed from the team after the school received a police report concerning allegations made by a student who said she was sexually assaulted by the players in early March. The Lane County district attorney’s office determined there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute the players on criminal charges.

risked missing a slam. East’s double of one no-trump was for takeout of diamonds, the opener’s suit.

Yes, East might have bid two hearts to get his five-card major into the game, but the double was more flexible.Then South bid what he hoped he could make. Note that if he had gambled on the majors by rebidding three notrump, that contract would have made easily.

Declarer has three possible losers: one in each side-suit. He also has only 10 winners: one spade, eight diamonds and one club. He needs a second spade trick. And if West has led away from the king, that trick will materialize immediately. But what happens if East produces the spade king?

Yes, South’s queen is now established, but how can he get to dummy’s spade ace?

The answer is to hope that West has the spade jack and to drop the queen under East’s king.

Suppose East shifts to the club king. Declarer wins, draws trumps, and plays his spade three to dummy’s 10. If that finesse loses, the contract was unmakable.

What are they up to?
