Vote margin is not close enough for auto recount THE WORLD

Punchbowl makes its lively debut BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

BANDON — Festive music marked the opening of the newest addition to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on Tuesday as the Langlois Fiddlers played outside the clubhouse at the Pacific Dunes course while the first guests enjoyed the Punchbowl, the resort’s new putting course. In the future, the late-afternoon sounds will come in the form of hoots and hollers as groups of golfers make their way around the 3acre putting facility. See the video for this The Punchbowl story online at isn’t your average theworldlink.com putting green. With a combination of dramatic slopes and subtle contours, it is more like a playground to entertain and challenge even the best golfers who visit the resort. “It’s fabulous,” said Christopher Smith, a golf pro at Pumpkin Ridge near Portland, who was in town for the festivities. “It’s got a little Augusta National. Sometimes you are going 90 degrees from where you want to end up. “What a great concept.” Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser got the idea to build the Punchbowl from the general manager at Pinehurst, another resort, which has its own putting course. Pinehurst’s Thistle Dhu was, in turn, designed after the Himalayas, the famed

putting course at St. Andrews in Scotland. Keiser commissioned Tom Doak and Jim Urbina, the architects for the resort’s Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald courses, to build the putting course. He praised their work Tuesday. “If golf is supposed to be fun, this is fun,” Keiser said. “It’s also a challenge. It’s very tough. You can humiliate yourself.” Keiser found that out first-hand. His first trip around the putting course Tuesday was in a best-ball match, teamed with KemperSports President Josh Lesnik against Bandon Dunes General Manager Hank Hickox and Director of Golf Jeff Simonds. The friendly match became more serious as Keiser and Lesnik tried to overcome a deficit. The resort owner expects that concept to play out often in the future as golfers follow their regular rounds at the resort with casual putting contests at the Punchbowl. “From what I observed, when you have seven or eight groups, there’s a shout roughly every minute,” he said. Judging from the long line of golfers offering their congratulations to Keiser and Urbina on Tuesday, the Punchbowl will be a big hit. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Mick “The Barber” Peters of Bandon. “There’s so many shots you can try.” Peters was in the first group of regular guests to enjoy the Punchbowl during its

grand opening, just like he was in the first group at the opening of Bandon Dunes and each additional course at the resort. The Punchbowl lived up to Peters’ expectations, built up over the past several months while he looked forward to opening day. “I couldn’t wait,” he said. “I knew it was going to be special.” The Punchbowl was set up for 36 holes Tuesday. Depending on demand, it might regularly be set up with only 18 holes, and they will change constantly. “It’s limitless,” said Urbina. “The routings are ever-changing.” The resort does not plan to charge golfers to play the Punchbowl. With its proximity to the Pacific Dunes clubhouse, it likely will get a lot of use before or after meals. Stands next to the starting points for each hole also are designed to hold beverages the golfers are enjoying during their rounds. “I think it’s a great social mechanism,” Hickox said. “Guys do get tired after playing 36 holes, but they haven’t got it out of their system.” Which is why the course likely will be the site of hotly contested matches among friends. Keiser said the putting course is just as competitive as playing one of the full courses, but in a fraction of the time. “It’s basically golf on steroids,” he said.

COQUILLE — A margin of 0.3 percent separates the two Republican challengers for the South Coast’s seat in the state House, but the law says that’s not enough for a state-sponsored recount. Under Oregon law, automatic recounts only occur when the margin between candidates is less than one-fifth of 1 percent of the total votes cast for the two candidates— 0.2 percent. Final unofficial results Tuesday night have Marine Corps veteran and gun-rights activist Casey Runyan leading Coos Bay resident Jason Payne with 50.18 percent of the voters. Payne and Runyan are vying to topple Democratic incumbent Rep. Caddy McKeown of Coos Bay for the Oregon House District 9 seat. Coos County Clerk Terri Turri says that either Payne or Runyan could request a recount themselves, but it wouldn’t be free. “If they want anything like that, they have to pay for it,” she said. Turri said no recount requests have been made yet. Even if they come in the near future, the county’s election division won’t consider them until the election results are certified. That’s at least 21 days out. “We’re not even going to run any (signature challenges) for 14 days,” she said.

Still early for future of books and roads Coos Bay City Council hears more feedback on two pricey issues ■

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

COOS BAY — It’s not quite having to go back to the drawing board, but Coos Bay’s City Council heard about some of the perceived flaws with the Right-ofWay Restoration policy Tuesday night. The city is hoping to enact a new policy to keep streets lasting longer by requiring the agencies that tear them up to do more than just fill in the trenches they create. According to Mayor Crystal Shoji, Northwest Natural Gas and Johnson Rock were just two of the companies that spoke during the council meeting, others sent letters to the city. Basically, the organizations feel the related costs would be too steep. “We’re just trying to figure out how we can get a happy medium, where we help save the roads but don’t end up charging our people so much money that they can’t take care of their emergencies,” Shoji said. The mayor said it is important to note that commenters weren’t really against it, in principle. “They think it’s a good idea to try and save the streets, and not cut them up as soon as you build them and things like that,” she said. “If we adopt this policy there is a bigger up front cost, and then you are SEE COUNCIL | A8

COOS BAY — Kairos held its annual fundraiser luncheon Friday at the Black Market Gourmet. Among those present were Rep. Caddie McKeown, D-Coos Bay; Sen. Arnie Roblan, D-Coos Bay; and Coos Bay Mayor Crystal Shoji. They and other community members raised about $2,880 — the most ever — in pledges and donations for the organization during the fourth annual local Celebration of Hope, which coincides with Mental Health Month. Kairos, which offers various programs to provide mental support to children in the foster care system, used to be called the Southern Oregon Adolescent Study and Treatment Center. Officials changed the name in 2012 because “Southern Oregon” and “adolescent” no longer accurately describe the organization, which now serves young adults from all over the state and some-

A book so powerful it needn’t be read Our view That’s the point of controversial literature; it raises controversy, whether it’s read or not.

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

The, dare we say, clumsy handling of a controversial book given, then taken away from North Bend High School students we reported on earlier this week is more a lesson in bad communication than anything else. The book in question is “The Bluest Eye,” written in 1970 by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison. The book discusses racism, incest and child molestation in a frank manner. That the book is 15th most challenged book of the 2000s, according to the American Library Association, is testament to the controversy.

And school districts have wrestled with whether or not to allow students to read it for at least a generation. Copies at North Bend were handed out on a Friday earlier this month to a class studying post-World War II America through history and literature. Prior to distributing the book, teacher Scott Peters explained to students to nature of the content and offered students the option to read something else. The following Monday, Principal Bill Lucero came to class with a box and asked students to hand over

their copies of “Eye.” Now, before we all jump to accusations of censorship and book banning, let’s take a look at what we know. “The Bluest Eye” is on the Oregon Department of Education’s list of texts that meet Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. That’s far from censorship. The book was in North Bend High School because the district bought it. No book ban there either, apparently. Otherwise, what did the district intend to use the book for if not as a teaching tool?

Yet, all that these few students saw last week was their school CEO come in with a box and collect the books. And the result was disillusioned students and some angry parents. We have a message for North Bend students: Don’t fret. This isn’t an example of book banning. Rather, we think it is more an example of how sometimes, even well-intentioned, educated adults can make embarrassing mistakes. You’ll get over this, and you’ll be smarter for this lesson.

Missing the drama of the Bush years When it comes to foreign policy, everybody’s a drama critic. Particularly on cable TV, the world outside U.S. borders is presented as an ongoing melodrama on moralistic themes. Since melodrama requires conflict, there’s a built-in bias toward “crisis” narrative. Foreign countries, indeed entire continents, can vanish from the American imagination for decades, only to emerge as the putative flashpoints of history. (Syria! The Ukraine! Nigeria!) Something must be done, or all is lost. It follows that a president whose nickname is “No-drama Obama” has been getting very mixed foreign policy reviews. What’s more, it’s not only the “BombsAway” caucus led by Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham complaining. “President Obama is being pummeled at home and abroad for his international leadership,” editorializes The New York Times. “The world sometimes seems as if it is flying apart, with Mr. Obama unable to fix it.” Partly, it’s a matter of style. The president’s ostensible allies at The Times can’t stand GENE “maddeningly Obama’s LYONS bland demeanor,” Columnist lamenting that the president’s lack of ideological zeal leaves him “too resigned to the obstacles that prevent the United States from being able to control world events as easily as it may once have done.” I’m unable to think of a time since 1945 when the U.S. controlled world events “as easily” as it does today. From the Berlin Air Lift of 1948 through the ill-advised invasion of Iraq in 2003, you name me a president; I’ll name you a foreign policy debacle: Budapest, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Prague, Vietnam, Iranian hostages, Lebanon, the Persian Gulf War, Serbia, 9/11, Afghanistan ... President Obama, not so much. Indeed, for an awful lot of his critics, crisis avoidance seems to be the big problem. He’s making it look too easy, and that scares people. The Washington Post’s Fareed Zakaria nails it: Many of Obama’s “critics want the moral and political satisfaction of a great global struggle. We all accuse Vladimir Putin of Cold War nostalgia, but Washington’s elites — politicians and intellectuals — miss the old days as well. In another way of putting it, for purely theatrical purposes they’d be happier with a posturing ideologue like George W. Bush. Even Zakaria wishes that President Obama brought more flair and passion to his role as what used to be called Leader of the Free World. Still, his larger point strikes me as unexceptionable: Having inherited two ill-advised, poorly prosecuted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama has all but finished the job of ending both without plunging into another. As of 2014, the U.S. will finally heed President Dwight Eisenhower’s advice to stay out of land wars in Asia. Maybe he’s not Mr. Excitement, but Obama’s made no big mistakes. Should the president have talked about a “red line” in Syria if he wasn’t willing to use force? No, but better to look feckless than go to war to save face. The Syrian factions deserve each other; neither is our friend. In the Ukraine, the big American mistake was appearing to take sides in an area of little strategic importance to the U.S. but crucial to Russia. For all the overheated Hitler/Putin talk, a Russian invasion appears increasingly less likely. As for Crimea, those Russian soldiers were already there. A deal on Iranian nuclear weapons, meanwhile, could be an international game-changer on a Nixon-goes-to-China scale. Many human beings, alas, do prefer melodrama.

Letters to the Editor LNG decisions need to be open My confidence plummeted after reading that the bylaws produced by the South Coast Community Foundation “doesn’t count” according to Bill Lansing. In the meantime, I guess the little group that is going to oversee any monies coming from LNG can have meetings or do whatever they feel “is best for our county” without having open meetings. Apparently, they haven’t adopted them yet! I was confident in the new open meeting

rules until now. This gives the impression that things might not be above board with that little group, even though they are very upstanding citizens of the county. They should not have any meetings until the bylaws are adopted by every little micro-group involved. Dianne Harrison Coos Bay

Why put LNG plant in EQ zone? Mr. Leshley's letter of May 17 was rational and reasonable, but I cannot see the relevance of it in light of the fact that we are pro-

posing to build a massive LNG storage unit in an earthquake/tsunami zone. Please, please will someone tell me why we are not hearing a word about this extremely relevant issue? The powers that be must believe we are in an earthquake/tsunami zone as they have provided us with a warning system. Let’s hear some responses from those people who are backing such a massively dangerous proposal. Just a month ago there was a 4.5 earthquake right off our coast. Nan Hammons North Bend

Children’s mental health: a priority Your Views

BY BOB LIEBERMAN May is National Mental Health Awareness month. More specifically it is also Children’s Mental Health Awareness month. Many communities around the country, including here on the South Coast, have awareness events. We had one here in Coos County on May 16: the Celebration of Hope put on by Kairos Coastline. Why is awareness of children’s mental health important? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines mental disorders as “serious deviations from expected cognitive, social, and emotional development.” Data recently released by the CDC show that: ■ One in 5 children have one or more mental, emotional, or behavioral challenges. For one in 10 they are severe enough to impair functioning at home, school, or in the community. ■ Suicide is the second leading cause of death for individuals between 12 and 17. ■ The impact cost of children’s mental health problems is $247 billion per year. Despite these high rates of mental illness, 4 of 5 children 617 who have experienced symptoms do not receive any help. Unmet mental health needs complicate daily activities and education. More than 50 percent of students who experience psychological challenges drop out of high school — the highest rate of any disability group. One half of all lifetime cases of such challenges start by age 14 and 75 percent by age 24. Other research from the CDC

deepens the concern. It has been conducting studies regarding the impact of adverse childhood experiences since the mid-1990s. These show that such experiences in childhood are the leading determinant of a host of physical health, behavioral health, and societal problems. The results have been replicated repeatedly and the CDC identifies the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and negative health and life outcomes as the most robust public health data it has seen, equal in power to the relationship between smoking cigarettes and cancer. In fact it refers to adverse childhood experiences as the “smoking gun” — the largest factor impacting long term health, education and welfare in our nation. The types of experiences in this study are not only those we might suspect — physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. They also include experiences that are occurring with increasing frequency in our society — divorce, substance abuse in the household, incarceration or loss of a parent, and domestic violence. Space doesn’t permit examining the study in detail, but you can learn about it by Googling “adverse childhood experiences.” These findings can be explained by the emerging brain research. Simply put, stressful and adverse experiences in early childhood impede neural devel-

opment. Key competencies that we rely on our brain for, such as the ability to control our impulses, to establish reciprocal social relationships, and to exercise critical thinking skills simply don’t develop in the presence of significant adversity. The mental health and wellness of a person under these circumstances is severely compromised, leading to what we commonly identify as mental health problems — deviations from expected development. However the research also offers hope, showing that our brains change with experience and that the right types of experience can help facilitate new ways of coping, relating and thinking. There is increasing evidence that early detection and intervention strategies for mental health issues improve children’s resilience and ability to succeed in life. There is much we can do as a community and as a society to act upon this knowledge. We can create awareness regarding positive mental health climates and activities, and actively work to eliminate stigma of those with mental health challenges. We can contact our public officials to support resources for intervention and prevention. We can learn about the research-supported belief that children do well if they can and help them learn how. In our community we’re

blessed with significant children’s mental health support for a town of this size. Kairos, the organization from which I have learned this information, provides intensive mental health services to young people age 4 through 24 and their families. With an active presence in the county it works in close collaboration with Coos County Mental Health, Child Welfare, Juvenile Department, Casa, Bob Belloni Ranch, Adapt and other community partners, to provide a range of innovative services and supports for young people with serious mental health challenges and their families. Western Oregon Advanced Health, the local Coordinated Care Organization, helps facilitate efforts to enhance the quality and experience of care for children and families. As a result of these efforts Coos County is becoming recognized statewide for its work to coordinate the efforts of many to improve care. Please be aware of the work of all these organizations, learn from them, and support their efforts. Together we can create a community that is aware of the importance of mental health and wellness for our youngest and most vulnerable people, who also carry our future within them. Bob Lieberman is CEO of Kairos, a multi-service children’s mental health agency that provides a range of services in Coos County.

State Homebody’s future is a serious concern for family DEAR ABBY: Our niece “Bonnie” has severe attachment problems. She still lives in her parents’ home and is well into her 50s. Her father passed away several years ago, and her mother seems to be her only friend. Bonnie has never had a serious relationship and has spent her life at one DEAR job and with her parents. Va c a t i o n s and holidays have been spent with them o n l y . B o n n i e r a r e l y JEANNE an PHILLIPS accepts i nv i ta t i o n unless her mom is invited, does not communicate unless we reach out to her first and is very private about the smallest details in her life. Her mother is aging and we are wondering how Bonnie will manage once her mom is gone. How do we approach someone who seriously needs help and guidance? — CARING AUNT IN PITTSBURGH DEAR CARING AUNT: I can think of two ways. The first would be to discuss this privately with Bonnie’s mother and ask if there is anything she would like you to do for her daughter in the event of a serious illness or her death. It is a legitimate question if Bonnie is unable to live independently, and her mother might appreciate that you cared enough to ask. The second would be to reach out to Bonnie in the event that something does happen to her mother, and let her know that you love her and will be there for her if she needs you. Keep in mind that you cannot force help on anyone who is unwilling to accept it. DEAR ABBY: I’m 11 and in the sixth grade. I am very self-conscious. Every girl in my grade has a bigger chest than me, and I am feeling insecure because mine isn’t developed. I know I am young, but I want to fit in. Every day I feel horrible about myself. Can you help? — INSECURE 6TH GRADER DEAR INSECURE: I’ll try. No two people are alike, and our bodies do not develop at the same time. For some girls, it happens sooner and they begin to develop breasts as early as age 9. For others, it doesn’t happen until they are in their teens. Your value should not be measured by your chest size. Believe me, the size of your IQ is far more important. The kind of person you are is more important. Big chests have a way of falling sooner or later. So work on your grades and your personality right now. If you do, in time you’ll not only catch up to these girls, you will surpass them in the qualities that matter most. You’re fine just the way you are. DEAR ABBY: When spending thousands of dollars to attend a destination wedding, are you expected to give a gift to the bride and groom? — JENNIFER IN NEW YORK DEAR JENNIFER: Yes, but after shelling out “thousands” to attend a wedding, it does not have to be an expensive one. A token gift to mark the occasion would be enough. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Elementary school closed for cleaning after aide’s death MEDFORD (AP) — School and public health officials in southern Oregon say an elementary school near Medford will be closed for two days for cleaning after a teacher’s aide died of complications from Group A strep bacteria. The bacteria commonly causes strep throat. The Medford Mail Tribune reports that the Sams Valley Elementary closure started Wednesday. On its website, the school district said the move came after consultation with Jackson County Public Health’s Dr. Jim Shames. The district says “public health is not at risk.” The county health department says the unidentified woman died Tuesday. Public Health Division Manager Jackson Baures called the case “an unusual complication that resulted from a common illness.” There have been no reports of sick students. The district says an immediate family member of the woman was hospitalized but released Wednesday.

State senators introduce Klamath bill

STATE

PORTLAND (AP) — Now that Dennis Richardson has secured the Republican nomination to face Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber in November, his next test will be raising enough money to introduce himself to voters before Kitzhaber beats him to it. National Republicans have been eager to tear Kitzhaber apart over the botched rollout of the state’s health insurance exchange, Cover Oregon. It remains to be seen, however, whether they’ll pony up with money to help Richardson drive home his case against the better-known incumbent. “It’s going to be up to Richardson to really get out and shake the national money tree,” said Len Bergstein, a lobbyist and political consultant who has worked on many Oregon ballot measure campaigns. “I don’t think there’s enough money in Oregon to finance his race.” Unlike most states, Oregon has no campaign contribution limits, and large donors can have outsized influence. In a statement following Richardson’s victory, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, said the group “is proud to support Richardson’s campaign” but didn’t offer any specifics. The RGA works to elect Republican governors around the country. It gave $2.5 million to Chris Dudley’s unsuccessful run against Kitzhaber four years ago. Once heavily favored, Kitzhaber stumbled badly when Cover Oregon failed to launch a working website despite $134 million paid to its primary contractor, Oracle Corp.

PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley say they’ve introduced promised legislation based on an agreement last month over water in the Upper Klamath Basin. The agreement calls for sharing access to water and cooperating on restoring habitat for endangered fish. The upper basin had a long legal battle over water rights on rivers running through former reservation land. The agreement followed a decision last year by an administrative law judge that the Klamath Tribes’ rights are most senior. The decision coincided with a severe drought. Whether such legislation has a chance in the Re p u b l i c a n - c o n t ro l l e d House is a question. The basin is in the district of Rep. Greg Walden, Oregon’s only House Republican.

DA ousted after contentious term BEND (AP) — A former Bend City Council member who made an issue of what he called a “toxic” environment in the Deschutes County district attorney’s office has unseated Patrick Flaherty as prosecutor. The challenger, John Hummel, won handily, 60 percent to 40 percent. Four years ago, Flaherty defeated a longtime district attorney, Mike Dugan. During the term, the Bend Bulletin reports, five former or current members of Flaherty’s staff filed lawsuits against him, resulting in more than $1 million in settlements. Flaherty said he’d run a traditional office, focusing on prosecuting criminals. Hummel said he would focus more on collaboration with outside agencies, managing the office and establishing programs to prevent crime.

Cremation rites have been held for Lee Will Harless, 79, of Coos Bay, under the direction of Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary, 405 Elrod in Coos Bay. Lee was born at home in Hamill, S.D., on Dec. 28, 1934, the son of Roy and Dorothy (Goodman) Harless. He passed away May 16, 2014, at his Coos Bay home with his w i f e , Darlene and d a u g h t e r, Vicki at his Lee Harless side. He was raised and educated in Winner, S.D. He worked several jobs during his school years and upon graduating he went to work for the South Dakota State Highway Department. In August 1953 he decided to follow his brother and family and his Darlene to Oregon. He worked for a time for Weyerhaeuser. He was married to Darlene Jamison in April 1954. In June 1954 he got his dream job and became a switchman on the Southern Pacific Railroad which he enjoyed until retiring after 33 years. His smile, sense of humor and his love will be missed very much. He will be remembered with good memories by his wife, Darlene Harless of Coos Bay; daughter, Vicki

in the headlines. The latest came hours before ballots were due Tuesday, when the governor’s office released subpoenas from the U.S. attorney’s office submitted to Cover Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority, indicating a grand jury is looking into the problems. The subpoenas seek records of communications between state officials involved in developing the website, communications with the federal government about the website’s functionality and communication about reviews that determined whether federal funding would continue. A number of civil lawsuits also could come, leading to more subpoenas and public court hearings to probe the work on the website. Richardson has hammered Kitzhaber incessantly on Cover Oregon, linking it with other stumbles to make the case that Kitzhaber has been an ineffective steward of taxpayer money. Kitzhaber and his allies have largely sat on the sidelines during the primary but are likely to ratchet up their efforts to define Richardson their own way. NARAL, which advocates abortion rights, emailed a fundraising pitch Tuesday saying Richardson’s views are “too extreme for Oregon.” Richardson’s campaign has about $87,000 in the bank — far less than the $662,000 Kitzhaber has to spend, according to campaign finance records. “We’re confident that our campaign is going to have the resources that we need to be successful in November,” said Meredith Glacken, a spokeswoman for Richardson. campaign Kitzhaber’s declined to comment.

NATIONAL Air Force security failed nuke test D I G E S T House legislates curbs on record-gathering WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed a bill to end the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of American phone records. It’s the first legislative response to the disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and the Senate is expected to take it up. But civil liberties activists and technology companies say the bill doesn’t go nearly far enough. The USA Freedom Act tracks a proposal made in January by President Barack Obama, who said he wanted to end the NSA’s practice of collecting the “to and from” records of nearly every American landline telephone call.

US forecasters predict slow hurricane season NEW YORK (AP) — Federal forecasters are expected to predict a slower than usual hurricane season this year. Experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will gather in New York on Thursday to release the agency’s outlook for the six-month storm season that officially begins June 1. Colorado State University researchers have forecast nine named storms in 2014, with just three expected to become hurricanes and one major storm with winds over 110 mph.

Woman found 10 years after kidnapping SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A woman who disappeared as a teenager a decade ago was reunited with her family after she went to police and told them her mother’s exboyfriend drugged and kidnapped her in 2004, forced her to marry him and fathered her child. Isidro Garcia, 41, of Bell Gardens, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping for rape, lewd acts with a minor and false imprisonment, the Santa Ana Police Department said.

Man stole bread truck, made deliveries NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a man stole a New York City bakery truck and began delivering loaves of bread to random businesses. Police say David Bastar hopped into the Grimaldi’s Home of Bread truck on Manhattan’s Upper East Side early Monday while the real driver was making a delivery at a pizzeria. Wearing only his underwear, Bastar then allegedly off dropping began baguettes, whole-wheat rolls and sourdough bread — but not to the bakery’s customers. Joe Grimaldi is the owner of the Queens bakery. He says the bandit “dropped a lot of bread” worth about $5,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Armed security forces at a nuclear missile base failed a drill last summer that simulated the hostile takeover of a missile launch silo because they were unable to speedily regain control of the captured nuclear weapon, according to an internal Air Force review obtained by The Associated Press. The previously unreported failure, which the Air Force called a “critical deficiency,” was the reason the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana flunked its broader safety and security inspection. The security team was required to respond to the simulated capture of a Minuteman 3 nuclear missile silo, termed an “Empty Quiver” scenario in which a nuclear weapon is lost, stolen or seized. Each of the Air Force’s 450 Minuteman 3 silos contains one missile armed with a nuclear warhead and ready for launch on orders from the president. The review obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request sought to examine why the security force showed an “inability to effectively respond to a recapture scenario.” It cited their failure to take “all lawful actions necessary to immediately regain control of nuclear weapons” but did not specify those actions. The prize for terrorists or

In 2009, the Air Force cited a “post9/11 shift in thinking” about such situations, saying that while this nightmare scenario once was considered an impossibility, the U.S. “no longer has the luxury of assuming what is and what is not possible.” The inspection failure was one of a string of nuclear missile corps setbacks revealed by the AP over the past year. The force has suffered embarrassing leadership and training lapses, breakdowns

in discipline and morale problems. Earlier this year, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered two parallel nuclear reviews, still underway, to address his concern that these lapses could erode public trust in the security of the nation’s nuclear weapons. The safety and security of nuclear weapons under military control is considered of paramount importance, and thus defense agencies perform detailed and rigorous inspections at regular intervals. When the Air Force publicly acknowledged the inspection failure in August,it said “tactical-level errors” had been

committed during one phase of the inspection,but it did not say the errors were made by security forces. At the time, the Air Force declined to provide details, saying to do so could expose potential vulnerabilities. Security forces, safety officers, logistics teams, missile launch crews and others participated in the Malmstrom inspection. Lt. Col. John Sheets, a spokesman for Air Force Global Strike Command, which is responsible for the nuclear missile corps as well as the nuclear-capable bomber aircraft, said Wednesday he could not comment further.

Inmate died after 7 days in NYC cell NEW YORK (AP) — After a mentally ill Bradley Ballard made a lewd gesture to a female guard at the Rikers Island jail, he was locked in his cell alone for seven increasingly agitated days in which he was denied some of his medication, clogged his toilet so that it overflowed, stripped off his clothes and tied a rubber band tightly around his genitals. During that period, guards passed Ballard’s cell in the mental observation unit dozens of times, peering through the window in the steel door but never venturing inside — until it was too late. The 39-year-old Ballard was eventually found naked and unresponsive on the floor, covered in feces, his genitals swollen and badly infected. He was rushed to a hospital but died hours later. “He didn’t have to leave this world like that. They could have put him in a mental hospital, got him some treatment,” Ballard’s mother, Beverly Ann Griffin, said from her Houston, Texas, home. “He was a caring young man.” last death Ballard’s September, detailed in documents obtained by The Associated Press and in interviews with two city officials on condition of anonymity, came five months

This 1990 photo provided by Curtis Griffin of his step-son Bradley Ballard shows Ballard in Houston when he was 16. In September of 2014, 39-year-old Ballard, who was mentally ill and an inmate at the Rikers Island jail in New York, died a gruesome death there after being locked alone in his cell for seven days. before another Rikers inmate in a similar mental health unit died in a cell that climbed to a suffocating 101 degrees because of malfunctioning heating equipment. Experts say Ballard’s death is only the latest example of how poorly equipped the city’s jail system is to handle the mentally ill, who make up about 40 percent of the 12,000 inmates in the nation’s most populous city. A third of those inmates suffer from serious mental

illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In Ballard’s case, his family said, he was diagnosed as schizophrenic more than a decade ago, and he also had diabetes. Faced with rising criticism over conditions at Rikers, Mayor Bill de Blasio has vowed reforms. Correction Department spokesman Robin Campbell said in a statement Wednesday that Ballard’s case is under investigation. He said mental health

and jail officials have started shift-by-shift briefings on inmates like Ballard and are working on other measures “so that a similar tragedy will not happen again.” More tests are needed to determine exactly how Ballard died, the medical examiner’s office says. But preliminary findings show that he probably succumbed to sepsis, an infection that has spread through the body, according to the two officials. Ballard grew up in Houston and moved to New York to pursue a better life after working as a cook in a fried chicken restaurant, his family said. He spent six years behind bars after being arrested in 2004 for assaulting a receptionist and another employee of a New York law firm. Last June, he was arrested in Houston on public lewdness and assault charges for punching and exposing himself to a bus driver. He was sent back to jail in New York for not telling his parole officer that he had left the city. He was first placed in a Rikers facility for 17 days, then a Correction Department psychiatric hospital for 38 days. Then he was sent to a roughly 30-bed mental observation unit at Rikers.

House Dems participate in Benghazi probe WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats will participate in the special, Republican-led select committee investigating the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, despite serious concerns within the party that the inquiry is an election-year ploy to energize core GOP voters. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced on Wednesday that she will appoint the full complement of five Democrats on the 12member panel, tapping lawmakers who have been deeply involved in previous congressional investigations of the Sept. 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. diplomatic outpost. Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the attack when militants stormed the mission. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of misleading Americans about a terror attack weeks before the presidential election. “I believe we need someone in that room to simply defend the truth,” Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight panel, told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference.

News anchor released after arrest ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett has been released from jail following his arrest at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for refusing to cooperate with police. Authorities say the 59year-old network anchor was arrested about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Northern Lights Grill in the main terminal. Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman Patrick Hogan says officers reported that Jarrett seemed intoxicated, acted belligerently and refused to follow their orders. He was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on a of charge preliminary obstructing the legal process by interfering with a peace officer. The jail’s website shows that Jarrett posted $300 bond and was released early Thursday. A Fox News spokeswoman, Irena Briganti, didn’t immediately respond to an after-hours email seeking comment about the arrest.

Judge hears public worry on serial-rapist release

The Associated Press

A sign announces the future of the Dallas Cowboys football team headquarters and training facility in Frisco, Texas. New data from the Census Bureau shows that three of the nation’s five fastest-growing cities are located in the Lone Star State.

Census: Texas has 3 of 5 fast-growing cities in U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) — They grow everything bigger in Texas, even the cities. Three of the nation’s five fastest-growing cities — and seven of the top 15 — are located in the Lone Star State, new data from the Census Bureau shows. The Texas cities of San Marcos, Frisco and Cedar Park were No. 1, 2 and 4 in percentage population growth between 2012 and 2013, each growing by at least 5 percent in that time span. Utah had two of the top five: South Jordan, at No. 3, and Lehi, at No. 5. This is the second year in a row that San Marcos, centrally located between Austin and San Antonio on Interstate 35, has topped the list of fastestgrowing cities with a population of more than 50,000. Its population grew by 8 percent between July 2012 and 2013 to 54,076 people. That’s well ahead of its 2011-12 increase of 4.9 percent, which pushed San Marcos into the upper echelon of cities with 50,000-plus people. Mayor Daniel Guerrero, in Chicago recruiting business investment for his city, said that in addition to its enviable location between Austin and San Antonio, San Marcos has one of the nation’s largest outlet malls and is home of the

35,000-student Texas State University. “We have an immaculate natural beauty to our community, certainly the spring-fed river ... San Marcos River... historic neighborhoods, a growing and beautified downtown that we’ve been investing in heavily over the last few years,” Guerrero said. The presence and growth of the university is also a factor, he said. The West is in the middle of a population boom, with energy production one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States. The oiland gas-rich fields of the Great Plains and Mountain West have fueled the population increase. The majority of the fastest-growing cities are west of the Mississippi River. The 15 top cities by percentage increase were San Marcos, Texas, 8 percent; Frisco, Texas, 6.5 percent; South Jordan, Utah, 6.1 percent; Cedar Park, Texas, 5.6 percent; Lehi, Utah, 5.5 percent; Goodyear, Arizona, 4.8 percent; Georgetown, Texas, 4.5 percent; Gaithersburg, Maryland,4.4 percent; Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, 4.1 percent; Meridian, Idaho, 4.0 percent; Odessa, Texas, 4.0 percent; Gilbert, Arizona, 4.0 percent; McKinney, Texas, 3.9 percent; Franklin, Tennessee, 3.9 percent; and Pearland, Texas, 3.8 percent.

By population increase, New York City is still on top, growing by 61,440 people in 2012 to 8.4 million people in 2013. In addition to having the largest numerical increase, New York City is also still the largest city in the United States by population. Houston increased by 35,202 people to 2.2 million in 2013. Los Angeles grew by 31,525 to 3.8 million. The rest of the top 10 by numerical increase were: San Antonio, up 25,378 to 1.4 million; Phoenix, up 24,843 to 1.5 million; Austin, Texas, up 20,993 to 885,400: San Diego, up 18,867 to 1.35 milNorth lion; Charlotte, Carolina, up 18,420 to 792,862; Seattle, up 17,770 to 652,405; and Dallas, up 15,976 to 1.3 million. The Census Bureau also said: ■ Fourteen cities joined the 50,000-plus population club: Casa Grande and Aliso Viejo, Arizona; Dublin and Palm Desert, California; Doral, Florida; Huntersville, North Carolina; Enid, Oklahoma; Grapevine, Texas; Ankeny, Iowa; Lenexa, Kansas; Kentwood, Michigan; Apple Valley, Minnesota; Tigard, Oregon; and Sammamish, Washington. ■ No cities with more than 50,000 people dropped below that level between 2012 and 2013.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — After a sniper’s bullet killed her husband in Afghanistan earlier this year, Misty Vivirito moved herself and four daughters from a San Diego Marine Corps base to a home in Southern California’s Antelope Valley with room enough for horses and other farm animals. Last month, she discovered that a serial rapist was to be released from a mental hospital and allowed to rent a ramshackle house three miles from her home in rural Los Angeles County near the city of Palmdale. On Wednesday, Vivirito tearfully urged Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Gilbert Brown to change his mind and rescind his order directing the release of Christopher Evans Hubbart, 63, to the desert community of Lake Los Angeles. Hubbart has acknowledged raping and assaulting about 40 women between 1971 and 1982. Authorities place the number of victims closer to 100. When Hubbart’s prison term ended in 1996, he was deemed a sexually violent predator and confined to a state mental hospital. Doctors at the hospital recently concluded he was fit

Lake Los Angeles residents drove 350 miles through the night Tuesday to attend the court hearing in San Jose on oppose to Wednesday Hubbart’s release to their community. “My husband died for our safety, but we don’t feel safe,” Vivirito told the judge. “This feels like a slap in our faces.” Vivirito, her 16-year-old daughter and four other residents who attended the hearing are returning home to an isolated community they say has become a “dumping ground” for sexually violent predators who have served their prison sentences and have been cleared by doctors at a state mental hospital for release. Assemblyman Steve Fox, a Democrat who represents the region, said 1,000 of the 10,000 sexual predators released to Los Angeles County live in the Antelope Valley area, which has a population of less than 3 percent of the county’s population.

showed continued settling. They added that repair costs would likely top $6 million, not counting temporary library relocation for the year-and-a-half that would be needed to complete the fix. It is generally believed that it makes more sense to find a new home for the library, or to create one. “(The current building) is already so old,” Shoji says, “and it is not a unique historic building. “There is going to be a lot of community input,” she continued, “and the city doesn’t have money to do that right now. And I don’t think the city council is going to be the lead on this, but rather the library groups.” Next up will be a number of studies to shine more light on the situation. But, even before that, the mayor says there is one basic question that also needs to be answered; whether or not the library has to stay in the downtown area.

for release. But to where? California laws bar sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools and other places where children congregate, eliminating nearly all urban areas in the state. Hubbart’s most recent crimes occurred in Santa Clara County, but the Northern California judge ordered him released to Los Angeles County, where Hubbart was born and raised. delayed The judge Hubbart’s release to the area after an initial landlord succumbed to public pressure and withdrew his offer to rent to Hubbart. Brown authorized his release last year to another house a few miles away and has been lobbied by residents, local politicians and law enforcement officials to change his mind.

In April, engineers from SHN and ZCS presented results of an investigation into the library building that

In rapid-fire moves Wednesday, President Xi Jinping called at a conference of Asian governments for a new regional security structure that implicitly excludes Washington.

The closed-door talks at an army facility in Bangkok were taking place two days after Gen. Prayuth Chanocha declared martial law.

BLAHODATNE, Ukraine (AP) — Three days before Ukraine holds a key presidential vote,pro-Russia insurgents attacked a military checkpoint Thursday in eastern Ukraine, killing 13 troops in the deadliest raid yet in weeks of fighting, Ukraine’s leader said A rebel group who claimed responsibility for the attack said one of its own was also killed. The rebels attacked the checkpoint near the town of Volnovakha, firing automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said AP journalists saw 11 dead Ukrainian soldiers scattered in a field near the village of Blahodatne, outside Volnovakha, 20 miles south of the major city of Donetsk. Witnesses including a medical worker said over 30 other Ukrainian troops were wounded in the attack and some of them were in grave condition. All the wounded were being treated at nearby medical facilities. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the attackers hit an ammunition section in one of the vehicles, which exploded in a fireball.

Koreas exchange fire near sea boundary SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North and South Korean warships exchanged artillery fire Thursday in disputed waters off the western coast, South Korean military officials said, in the latest sign of rising animosity between the bitter rivals in recent weeks. Officials from the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Ministry said a South Korean navy ship was engaged in a routine patrol near the countries’ disputed maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea when a North Korean navy ship fired two artillery shells. The shells did not hit the South Korean ship and fell in waters near it, they said.

Reedsport loses in district playoffs THE WORLD Reedsport’s softball season ended when the Braves couldn’t break through against Yoncalla pitcher Brianne Joslyn in a 6-0 loss in the Class 2A-1A District 2 playoffs Wednesday. The Braves needed to beat the Eagles to advance to the state playoffs. Joslyn kept Reedsport’s offense in check and Yoncalla broke open a 1-0 game with five runs in the fifth inning. “Brianne Joslyn pitched amazing for them,” Reedsport coach Jennie Nelson said. “The girls struggled with her speed change all game.” Mariah McGill had two hits for Reedsport in the losing effort. “I am very proud of my girls and will miss my senior athletes,” Nelson said. “I know this program will continue to grow and am excited about the future.”

North Bend pole vaulters have been helped by their coach, Jon Davison, center, throughout the season. The four headed to Eugene to the state championships for the Bulldogs are, from left, Alex Backman, Kenzie Gauntz, Luke Lucero and Kena Shay.

BASEBALL Cascade Christian 7, Gold Beach 0: The Panthers fell to the Challengers on Wednesday in a tune-up game for Gold Beach’s eventual playoff matchup next Wednesday. Gold Beach and starting pitcher Dustin Carter fell down early, giving up five runs in the first inning. Panthers head coach Greg Brown said Carter didn’t get adequately warmed up before the first pitch, but was able to level out after the first inning. “Other than the first inning we looked fine,” Brown said. “We just couldn’t get anything going on the bases.” Gold Beach finished with three hits all game. Garrett Litterell, who relieved Carter in the fourth inning, was the only Panther with multiple hits, going 2-for-3 with a couple of singles. A Jacob Carpenter single was the only other Gold Beach hit. Even though the Panthers didn’t play as well as they’d hope, Brown still sees the value in making the trip. “It was a good playoff atmosphere for the kids,” Brown said. “We’re just looking forward to our playoff game next Wednesday.” Gold Beach will have to wait until OSAA rankings freeze Sunday to find out who they will be playing to start the postseason. The game will most likely be at home for the Panthers.

Bulldogs thrive under vault coach BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — North Bend’s school colors will be very visible in the pole vault pit at the state track meet in Eugene this weekend. The Bulldogs qualified two boys and two girls in the event, and all four have a good chance of placing well. Asked the key to the Bulldogs’ success, they all don’t hesitate to give the same answer: Jon Davison. “He’s awesome,” Kenzie Gauntz said of North Bend’s longtime pole vault coach. “He knows everything about pole vault. He makes us want to do it more. “He’s like a father figure to all of us.” “He doesn’t just help us with the vaulting aspects,” added Kena Shay, who had a personal best vault of 11 feet to win the Far West League title last weekend. “He helps us mentally prepare for the meets.” Gauntz and Shay will be joined by boys Alex Backman and Luke Lucero this week. All have benefited from Davison’s tutelage dating back to when they were seventh-graders at North Bend Middle School. Backman lists Davison’s strengths as “ his depth and knowledge.”

“He’s been around it so long,” Backman said. “He’s engulfed himself in it.” Davison doesn’t take all the credit, pointing out he is part of a pole vaulting fraternity of coaches who help each other, especially Marshfield coach Steve Puckett. “I work real close with Coach Puckett,” Davison said. “We’re a team, even though we’re Bulldogs and Pirates.” That showed Wednesday, when a touchy crosswind in North Bend prompted Davison to bring his vaulters to Marshfield’s track where they could get in a quality practice without the elements having a major impact. “Pole vaulting is a community,” he said. “It’s not just you on your own.” Davison has coached a number of standouts at North Bend, including three state champions — current University of Oregon pole vaulter Sammie Clark and two of his own children, Lane and Brooke. Before that, he worked with Ally Romanko, another state champion, though he wasn’t her official coach. But he said his roots in the sport go back even further, pointing to another North Bend legend, Jon Derby.

NB has high point potential BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — A trio of newcomers and a few returning standouts have North Bend squarely in the trophy hunt in the Class 4A boys state track meet this week. The meet starts Friday at Hayward Field in Eugene and concludes Saturday. Admission each day is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Wyatt Cunningham is back to defend his state title in the high jump and also is part of a rejuvenated sprint corps for the Bulldogs. Transfers Matt Woods (from Marshfield) and Marcus Hardman (from Bandon) both qualified for state in the 100 meters and Woods was a few steps behind Cunningham as both sprinters advanced in the 200. Woods didn’t compete in the sport last year and had been a hurdler and javelin thrower earlier in his career at Marshfield. Drew Matthews joined the team for the first time this

spring and qualified for state in the long jump as well as running a leg on the sprint relay with Woods, Cunningham and Luke Lucero, a group that could contend for the championship Saturday. Sophomore Drae Stark made big strides this season and was district champion in the triple jump. Cam Lucero battled back from a shoulder injury that kept him out of basketball and advanced to state in the high hurdles. Josh Kimble was the district runner-up in the discus. Throw in Lucero and Alex Backman in the pole vault, James Jordan in the high jump and the 4x400 relay of Woods, Strider Myhre, Coy Woods and Cunningham and North Bend has a big squad that could score well this week. North Bend’s girls also have a few athletes favored to do well, including McKenzie Edwards in the 300-meter hurdles, pole vaulters Kena Shay and Kenzie Gauntz, Gabby Hobson in the 800 and the 4x100 relay team of Edwards, Shay, Cherise Kirkpatrick and Brianna Cole.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs have been here before. Tony Parker scored 22 points, Danny Green added 21 on seven 3pointers, and San Antonio used a dominant third quarter to pummel Oklahoma City 112-77 Wednesday night and take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. The Spurs were in the same position in 2012 before the Thunder won four straight to capture the series and stun a Spurs team that appeared to have its best days behind it. Well, San Antonio is back in the conference final with a commanding lead, wiser and even older. “I know after the game, nobody is very happy in the locker room,” Parker said. “Everybody is very focused, and we respect that team. We know they’re very capable of a comeback, and they did that against us in 2012. We’re just very focused and nobody is satisfied.” Game 3 is Sunday at Oklahoma City, where the Thunder will try to bounce back from the worst playoff loss in franchise history. “It definitely doesn’t feel good, and it shouldn’t,” Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. “I hope our entire locker room doesn’t feel good. You shouldn’t feel good. We got our butts kicked.” Playing without Serge Ibaka and given two days to adjust to dropping Game 1 by 17 points, the Thunder performed even worse. Parker and Green each had eight points in the third quarter and San Antonio outscored Oklahoma City 33-18 in the period. SEE PLAYOFFS | B3

Marshfield’s Shaylen Crook took a big lead on the first lap of the girls 3,000-meter run Friday morning in Florence on the way to taking a win for the Pirates in the first day of the Far West League district track and field meet. Crook is favored in the 3,000, but will have the underdog role in the 1,500 this week in the Class 4A state meet at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Sports BULLDOGS From Page B1 “When Jon Derby was in high school, my young son Lane decided he wanted to be a pole vaulter,” Davison said. He started networking with coaches to learn everything he could, especially the late Stan Solomon, Marshfield’s legendary pole vault instructor. “I went to a lot of meets with Solly, even when we didn’t have kids (competing),” Davison said. Since then, he has been constantly learning and trying to pass on that information in ways that the kids can digest. “He makes sense of it,” Backman said. “He knows everyone learns differently,” added Gauntz. “He makes everything more specific for each athlete.” And Davison never discourages students from pole vaulting, starting with up to 40 of them as seventhgraders. “I’ve never once told a kid they couldn’t pole vault,” he said. “Out of those 40 kids, they pretty much weed themselves out.” He points to Gauntz and Shay as two of his biggest success stories. They weren’t good enough to qualify for

PIRATES From Page B1 Chavez finished second in the high hurdles with a new best and Groth did the same thing in the 300-meter hurdles and also had a big improvement in the long jump to take the title in that event. Others who didn’t advance to state had similar success stories, Cook said. “Everybody stepped up where they needed to be,” she said. “They did it with really good attitudes.” Meanwhile, one of the biggest highlights from the district meet came from Marshfield’s best-known commodity. Crook, who won the cross country state title last fall, ran away from the field in the 3,000 meters. But in the 1,500 she faced a tough challenge from Siuslaw freshman Celie Mans, who even took the lead from the Marshfield standout in the final 200 meters. Then Crook shifted into another gear, pulling away down the home stretch for the win with a new personal best. “We’ve been working on

Shay never considered quitting the event. “It was just so fun,” she said. “Even though we weren’t in the top (group). I wasn’t ready to give it up.” Davison does have one big rule. “They have to be teammates,” he said. “They have to support each other, even when they don’t want to.” That’s not an issue with the current group, even though they bring a competitive spirit to practice each day. “It’s awesome me having competition with Alex,” Lucero said. “We have about the same skill level. We’re competing to beat each other every day. It’s the same with Kenzie and Kena.” At the start of the year, Davison thought he might get five vaulters to state, but freshman Damie Zomerschoe suffered a knee injury that required season-ending surgery. And she remains a very Cincinnati starting pitcher Alfredo Simon picked up the win against Washington on Wednesday. big part of the group, Davison said. “Even though we are in competition to beat each other every day, we were in pain along with her,” he said.

Angels 2, Astros 1: Jered Weaver pitched a two-hitter for his first complete game in nearly two years and Albert Pujols hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth for Los Angeles. Weaver (5-3) went the distance for the 12th time in 241 career starts and first time since Aug. 6, 2012, when he beat the Athletics 4-0 with a four-hitter.

INTERLEAGUE Yankees 4, Cubs 2, 13 innings: Brendan Ryan scored on a wild pitch before John Ryan Murphy capped a two-run 13th inning with an RBI single, and New York beat the Cubs after Chicago wasted another dominant start by Jeff Samardzija. New York scored two in the ninth against Hector Rondon to wipe out a 20 deficit. Samardzija pitched four-hit ball over seven innings. Ryan started the winning rally with a leadoff single against Jose Veras (0-1). Yangervis Solarte walked, and the runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Preston Claiborne (2-0) toward third. Ryan came home when Veras threw a pitch over Murphy’s head, and Murphy drove in Solarte with a single to right to make it 4-2. Pirates 9, Orioles 8: Tony Sanchez’s tiebreaking single scored Starling Marte in the bottom of the seventh to put Pittsburgh ahead to stay. Andrew McCutchen went 3 for 4 with an RBI and his first two extra-base hits in more than two weeks for Pittsburgh, which won for only the third time in its past nine games. Marte and Ike Davis had three hits and two RBIs apiece for the Pirates. Nelson Cruz hit his 14th homer of the season and drove in three runs for the Orioles. Twins 2, Padres 0: Phil Hughes threw seven shutout innings and Trevor Plouffe homered for Minnesota. Padres starter Tyson Ross (5-4) nearly matched Hughes, allowing one run on three hits over seven innings, walking three and striking out eight. The Padres have been shut out eight times, tops in the majors.

A’s win with one hit ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — This is how well things are going for the Oakland Athletics: They had only one hit — and won. “Sometimes that’s all you need,” said manager Bob Melvin after the A’s won for the 11th time in 12 games, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 Wednesday night. Brandon Moss hit a solo homer for Oakland’s only hit and the Athletics took advantage of walks and two errors to win their fifth straight. “It’s not the easiest way to win a baseball game,” said Moss, who hit his 10th homer. “But it’s better than getting one hit and losing.” Oakland scored twice on two errors and a pair of walks in the second inning, helping the A’s win a regular-season game for the first time since at least 1914 while getting only one hit, according to the team. Moss’ 11th extra-base hit in seven games came off Erik Bedard in the fourth inning. Oakland’s fifth straight victory, coupled with Detroit’s loss earlier Wednesday, gave the A’s the best record in the major leagues at 30-16.

Tommy Milone (2-3) gave up two runs in 5 2-3 innings for the A’s. Bedard (2-2) pitched 5 1-3 innings for the Rays. Four Rays relievers finished the one-hitter, but the Rays gave up seven walks, one reason the A’s didn’t need much hitting. “It’s pretty remarkable. You don’t hear about that too often, but we did walk a lot,” said Milone. “We worked the count, got on base and put pressure on them. I guess it’s not that surprising when you look back.” The homer by Moss was the first off Bedard since Sept. 16, 2013, breaking a homerless streak of 49 1-3 innings. Throwing errors by Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar and second baseman Sean Rodriguez and two walks in the second inning helped the A’s score their first two runs off Bedard. “It’s really one of the more unusual games to lose,” said Rays manager Joe Maddon. “We pitched extremely well. It’s just an awkward game to give up one hit and lose. The one hit is a home run, and that was the deciding point.”

Scott, Elliott join NASCAR Hall All the inductees are former drivers for the first time ■

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Wendell Scott earned a second NASCAR first on Wednesday: He became the first African-American driver to be elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The late driver from Virginia was among the latest group of five — all drivers, another first — voted in the hall on Wednesday. Scott joins popular NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, twotime series champ Joe Weatherly, 1960 champion Rex White and 26-time race winner Fred Lorenzen. Scott competed in NASCAR’s top series from 1961-73. He won his only race at Speedway Park in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1963, taking the checkered flag in the 100-mile feature after starting 15th. Scott started 495 Sprint Cup events and had a 147 top 10 finishes. “I just felt like that his time was coming and he would say that too, one day it’s going to happen,” said Scott’s son, Franklin. When Scott’s name was called there were enthusiastic shouts and applause from fans, officials and family members gathered at the NASCAR Hall of Fame rotunda. He was the second-leading vote getter behind Elliott from a 54-member panel, including current Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson. Scott, who died in 1990, was the first African-

American driver to race fulltime in NASCAR’s top series. He had won more than 100 races at local tracks before stepping up to race against NASCAR’s best. Among Scott’s legacy to the sport is the sport’s Drive for Diversity initiative, one of the top youth development programs for multicultural and female drivers across the motorsports industry that’s been in place since 2004. “The next inductee gives me additional pride,” NASCAR chairman Brian France said in introducing Scott, “Because he undoubted scaled and climbed the highest mountain.” Scott’s story was loosely portrayed in the 1977 movie, “Greased Lightning,” where Richard Pryor starred as Scott, the one-time taxi driver from Danville, Virginia. “He said one day they are going to write a book about me,” Franklin Scott said of his father. “He had great determination. He was a great ambassador for the sport.” Elliott was the 1988 Sprint Cup champion and his 44 race victories rank 16th in NASCAR history. The driver nicknamed “Awesome Bill From Dawsonville” was also the first to win the Winston Million bonus in 1985 for capturing three of NASCAR crown jewel races. When Elliott’s name was called, racer son Chase patted him on the shoulder. “This is at the top of everything I’ve ever done and accomplished,” he said. “This is the pinnacle.” Elliott said he was a bit

Bill Elliott celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Firecracker 400 auto race at Daytona Beach, Fla., on July 2, 1988. Elliott’s election to the NASCAR Hall of Fame was announced Wednesday. surprised when he was called first and thanked those who helped him achieve what he had in racing. “You look at all of the people to be nominated and you try to put things into perspective. And bam, you are the first name announced and it’s like, holy mackerel what just happened,” he said. Modified champion Jerry Cook was sixth, car owner Robert Yates seventh and the late driver and announcer Benny Parson’s eighth. The five inductees will be enshrined at ceremonies on January 30th. Hall of Famer Richard Petty, among the voters, said there were few clear cut people on the list of 20. “I had my thoughts and others had theirs, but nobody said ‘this’ is the guy that needs to get in,” Petty said. “That was different than past years.” Weatherly, who died in 1964, won 25 races in

NASCAR’s premiere series including those back-toback championships in 1962 and 1963. White raced from 195664, winning 28 times in 233 events including six races during his championship season in 1960. Lorenzen started as a mechanic in NASCAR in 1960, but became a driver by the end of the year. He won the first three of his 26 races the next season. In 1963, Lorenzen had a stretch of dominance like few others when he won eight of 16 races entered. At one point, he led 1,679 of the possible 1,953 laps run. Series matriarch Anne Bledsoe France was honored with the inaugural Landmark Award. She was the wife of NASCAR founding father, Bill France, and grandmother of current CEO and chairman Brian France. Anne B. France served as secretary and treasurer of NASCAR.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each finished with 15 points, but the thirdquarter barrage made spectators of both in the fourth — not that they accomplished much when they did play. The star duo combined to shoot 13 for 40, including 4 for 14 in the third quarter. “If they had won this game by one point, we’d still be down 0-2,” Durant said. “(We) lost by a lot two games in a row. It’s hard for you to stay together, but we have a group of guys that are not front-runners and we’ll figure it out. That’s all we’ve got to do.” An attempt to do that resulted in an argument between Durant and Westbrook as they walked off the court at halftime. “I was just getting on Kevin about some stuff and he got on me right back,” Westbrook said. “And that’s what teammates do, that’s what leaders do, we get on each other. We came back and we talk about it and then we come out like nothing ever happened.” That didn’t help in the second half. Durant made his first two field goals of the third quarter, but did not have another for the rest of the half. Oklahoma City has yet to find a consistent third option on offense through two games. After combining to score just five points in the opener, fellow starters Nick Collison, Kendrick Perkins and Thabo Sefolosha had just four in Game 2. Durant said he and Westbrook didn’t stop trusting their teammates, but during a 17-minute stretch spanning the second and third quarters, they took

shots on 27 of 38 possessions. Asked why, Durant said, “Because we’re the focal point of the offense.” And the Spurs realize that, which is why, as a team, they have made them work hard for every point. “Work, work for everything,” Duncan said of the Spurs’ defensive strategy. “Keep them off the free throw line, make their shots as tough as possible. Those guys are great scorers, we know that, but we want to make them score over a hand and work for everything they get.” Duncan added 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Manu Ginobili and Boris Diaw had 11 points apiece off the bench. Oklahoma City went scoreless for two minutes midway through the third quarter as San Antonio built a 76-50 lead on a pair of free throws by Duncan with 6:20 remaining. It was a shocking turn for the Thunder, who started well after making some adjustments following a loss in the series opener. Oklahoma City opened more aggressive on both ends, especially defensively. The physicality disrupted the Spurs early and frustrated them emotionally. Duncan was issued a technical with about 5 minutes left in the first quarter after complaining when Ed Malloy ruled he threw a hip into Durant. It turned out the Spurs veteran had little to worry about. The Thunder have to find a lineup that works without Ibaka, but can take solace in knowing they have been in this position before. “That’s all we can say,” Durant said. “We’ve really got to figure it out on how we need to get better, and we’ve always done that.”

Sports Aldon Smith pleads no contest to charges THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith pleaded no contest Wednesday to three felony weapons charges and two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence. The 24-year-old Smith entered his pleas in a Santa Clara County Superior Courtroom in San Jose. He faces a sentence ranging from spending no time in custody to a maximum of four years and four months behind bars at a judge’s discretion, prosecutors said. Smith is scheduled to be sentenced on July 25 — two days after the 49ers are to The Associated Press open training camp in Santa Oregon State men’s basketball coach Wayne Tinkle, right, talks with members of the media while joined by athletic director Bob De Carolis during Clara.

President congratulates Seahawks for big win

OSU atmosphere excites new coach BY JESSE SOWA Corvallis Gazette-Times CORVALLIS — Wayne Tinkle got a text from a former Oregon State player talking about making Beavers basketball relevant again. That’s certainly one of the biggest tasks ahead for Tinkle, who was introduced as OSU’s new men’s coach during a press conference Wednesday evening. Tinkle comes to Corvallis after eight years as head coach at Montana, where he guided the Grizzlies to the NCAA tournament three times and had four straight seasons of 20-plus wins. Tinkle, 48, said he heard all about the potential hurdles of coaching the Beavers and the struggles that have lingered since OSU’s last trip to the Big Dance in 1990. “And I quickly asked, ‘tell me where there’s an easy job in the game of basketball,’” he said. “And we see opportunity, where there may be obstacles to others we’re excited about the opportunities here.” The 6-foot-10 Tinkle said it wasn’t easy leaving Missoula, with the returning players and incoming recruits there, and “walking away really, really beat me up.” But he was sold on Oregon State and Corvallis alike. One of those doing the selling was Freddie Owens, who was an assistant under Tinkle for four seasons before spending last year at OSU under Craig Robinson, who was fired three weeks ago after six seasons. “Coach Owens became a great salesman in talking about the people not just in the community but within the department and campus-wide, what a special place it was,” said Tinkle, who was hired Monday. “The biggest factor in it all was that

it was an unbelievable place to work, that environment.” Owens attended Wednesday’s press conference, though Tinkle’s staff has not been finalized. Owens used the words “energetic” and “passionate” to describe Tinkle and that he has the best interests of his players and the university at heart. “When you start going off the checklist of things, and the qualities in a next head coach, in my opinion all the checkmarks were checked off. He has a physical presence about him. From a player’s perspective, you’re going to listen to what he has to say,” Owens said. “I think it’s a home run hire. It’s going to take some time, but I think he’s the guy for the job because he understands everything that needs to be done to build a winning program.” The coaching search included several other highly qualified candidates, including former UCLA coach Ben Howland. But in the end, OSU athletic director Bob De Carolis said, Tinkle was the correct man for the job. “Coach Tinkle has the right priorities, the right character and he is definitely the right fit for the right time at Oregon State,” De Carolis said. Tinkle was 158-91 overall and 97-39 in Big Sky Conference play as Montana’s head coach. His teams went to four straight Big Sky postseason tournament championship games from 2010-13 and won three. He was the Big Sky coach of the year in 2012 and 2013 and was also an assistant on three Montana teams that reached the NCAA tournament during his five years in that position. Tinkle is a Montana alum who

played 12 years of professional basketball in Europe. Tinkle takes over a depleted roster after six players graduated and three others decided to leave the school for various reasons since the season ended more than two months ago. Forward Olaf Schaftenaar, who will be a junior next year, said it was a difficult time after the returning players learned from De Carolis that Robinson would not be back. “It’s just weird walking around campus and not knowing who your coach is,” he said. Schaftenaar said Tinkle’s words about being disciplined players during a meeting with his new team was something that stuck with him and that he appreciated. Malcolm Duvivier, a guard who will be a sophomore next season, said he found Tinkle “genuinely happy” to be at Oregon State. “Now we actually have a coach and I think we’re all ready to just buy in to whatever he has to do to win, because that’s all we came here to do is win games and become better people and better basketball players,” he said. In addition to meeting his new players, another of Tinkle’s first tasks was to contact those players who have signed with the Beavers for this coming season. Guards Chai Baker and Gary Payton II, the son of OSU great Gary Payton, reaffirmed their commitments, Tinkle said, adding that he hopes to have “some good news” in the coming days about the others. Also on his priority list are figuring out how many scholarships are available, working on the program’s budget and walking the campus to connect with as many people as possible.

Li is newest young golfing phenom BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

Billy Payne wore a smile as wide as the Augusta National fairways as he watched eight kids file out of the room with their trophies from the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship the Sunday before the Masters. “We’re going to be hearing from some of these kids again,” he said. Yes, but six weeks later? An 11-year-old girl who won her age group in the youth competition before the Masters has played her way into the U.S. Women’s Open next month at Pinehurst No. 2. Lucy Li, a sixth grader with braces and a sharp short game, made history Monday at Half Moon Bay with rounds of 74-68 to become the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open. Not only did she earn a spot at the biggest event in women’s golf, she won the 36-hole qualifier by seven shots. It’s another example that golf has no age limits. The record for youngest qualifier had belonged to Lexi Thompson, who was 12 when she made it to the 2007 Women’s Open at Pine Needles. It’s only fitting that when Li signed up for the Drive, Chip and Putt, she listed Thompson as among her favorite players. Li, from the suburbs south of San Francisco, still won’t be the youngest player. Beverly Klass was 10 when she played in 1967, but that was when the U.S. Women’s Open didn’t have qualifying. Judy Rankin was a 14-year-old prodigy from Missouri when she entered the 1959 U.S. Women’s Open at Churchill Valley Country Club in Pittsburgh. “When I went to register, they asked me if I was registering for my mother,” Rankin said Tuesday. “I weighed 80 pounds. I remember the first tee was way up high. I was shaking. I was so scared, so nervous. I thought I could fall off. I didn’t even make the cut. I was

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama congratulated the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, saluting their victories on the field and their contributions to their community. Noting that some analysts didn’t see Seattle as a top team, Obama said he appreciated the team overcoming long odds. “As a guy who was elected president named Barack Obama, I root for the underdog,” the president joked.

Mathis apologizes to Colts teammates INDIANAPOLIS — Colts linebacker Robert Mathis apologized to his teammates for the four-game suspension he received from the NFL. Mathis spoke publicly for the first time since the league announced he had violated its performance-enhancing substance abuse policy. Mathis had previously admitted to taking fertility medication that contained a substance on the NFL’s banned list. He also said he did not check with league officials or the players union to determine if anything he used might cause a positive drug test.

probably ill-prepared to be playing. But the next year, I was low amateur.” Teenagers in the U.S. Women’s Open are nothing new. Morgan Pressel, who went on to become the youngest major champion in LPGA Tour history at 18, qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open in 2001 when she 12. Michelle Wie was 12 when she qualified for her first LPGA Tour event, and she was in the final group at a major when she was 13. Lydia Ko was 15 when she won the Canadian Women’s Open two years ago, making her the youngest winner in LPGA history. Now she’s in range of becoming No. 1 in the world. In men’s golf, Matteo Manassero won twice on the European Tour before he had his driver’s license. Ryo Ishikawa won his first professional tournament when he was 15. Jordan Spieth nearly won the Masters last month at age 20. And who can forget Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old from China who made the cut at the Masters last year? Even so, two numbers are enough to get anyone’s attention — “11” and “sixth grade.” “This is ridiculous,” Dottie Pepper

said Tuesday, more amazed than concerned. Earlier in the day, Pepper was on Twitter and tried to get her head around an 11-year-old teeing it up at Pinehurst No. 2 when she noted that Li’s date of birth was “THIS CENTURY. Whoa!” Rankin and Pepper both attributed the increasing achievements by teens — pre-teens in Li’s case — to modern equipment and coaching. Li began playing when she was 7 by whacking a few golf balls on the range while waiting for her brother and cousin to finish a golf tournament. She now works with Jim McLean. And this is not the first time Li has written herself into USGA history. She set a record last year in the U.S. Women’s Amateur as the youngest qualifier at age 10. She also was the youngest in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links to reach match play, losing in the first round to a college player. “For people with talent, regardless of age, today’s equipment is making the game a lot easier to learn,” Rankin said. “For talented people, they are learning the game quicker and easier. That has a big bearing on it.”

Dodgers suspend minor league player after fight NEW YORK — Miguel Olivo was suspended by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ top farm team following his fight in the dugout with Triple-A Albuquerque teammate Alex Guerrero. The Dodgers said Olivo was placed on the suspended list by the Albuquerque Isotopes. The veteran catcher is on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster, and the club said he “will remain suspended pending the completion of an investigation” into the brawl during Tuesday’s game at Salt Lake. The Dodgers confirmed Guerrero is recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left ear and will remain in a Salt Lake City hospital for a couple of days. It’s unclear how long he will be sidelined.

Reds place star Votto on the disabled list WASHINGTON — The Cincinnati Reds placed first baseman Joey Votto on the 15-day disabled list with a left leg injury. The Reds made the move before their game against the Washington Nationals. He had already missed five games with a quadriceps strain in his left knee. The move is retroactive to May 16. The Reds also reinstated outfielder Jay Bruce from the 15-day DL. He had arthroscopic surgery May 5 to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Minor league player bashes four homers KODAK, Tenn. — Arizona farmhand Jon Griffin matched the Southern League record with four home runs in the Mobile BayBears’ 17-7 victory over the Tennessee Smokies on Wednesday night. Griffin was 5 for 6 with seven RBIs. The 25-year-old first baseman hit solos homers in the fifth and sixth innings, added a three-run shot in the seventh and a two-run homer in the ninth. He also singled in the first. The 6-foot-6 Griffin has nine homers in 40 games this season after hitting three in 61 games last season for Mobile. He played at Central Florida and was drafted in the 21st round by the Diamondbacks in 2011.

MIAMI — The long break between games in the Eastern Conference finals could be welcomed by Indiana, after Pacers guard Paul George was diagnosed with a concussion that will force him to complete several NBA-mandated procedures before he can return to the court against the Miami Heat. The series, now tied at a game apiece, resumes Saturday night. Indiana not only needs to get George cleared but also had starters Lance Stephenson, Roy Hibbert and David West all either limping or ailing in the final minutes of the Game 2 loss Tuesday CYCLING night.

NBA names Olajuwon African ambassador

Lucy Li hits a tee shot on the sixth hole during the first round of the 2013 U.S. Women’s Public Links tournament last June. She qualified at age 11 for this year’s U.S. Women’s Open.

they’re moving forward with plans to renovate and expand Wrigley Field, despite the threat of lawsuits by the owners of the adjacent rooftop venues overlooking the 100-year-old ballpark. Chairman Tom Ricketts, whose family owns the north-side Chicago team, said Thursday that the Cubs will submit a revised expansion plan to the Commission on Chicago Landmarks that includes the team’s original proposal to add several outfield signs and additional bleacher seats.

NEW YORK — Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon has been chosen as the NBA Ambassador to Africa by the league. The native of Nigeria will work closely with the NBA Africa office in Johannesburg and have a prominent role in the development of basketball on the continent through various events and activities. Olajuwon was the first pick in the 1984 draft and led the Houston Rockets to two NBA titles. He was a 12-time All-Star and the 1994 MVP. Amadou Gallo Fall, the NBA’s vice president for development in Africa, said Wednesday in a statement that the league is elated that “one of the greatest to ever play the game, a son of Africa, and a legend of Hakeem’s stature will officially represent the NBA in Africa.” More than 30 players from Africa have played in the NBA since 1984.

French officials strip Armstrong or honor PARIS — Lance Armstrong was stripped of his Legion of Honor, the best-known award in France. Armstrong was given the rank of “Chevalier” — or Knight — in the “Legion d’Honneur” in 2005, the last year of his seven consecutive Tour de France victories. He was later stripped of those titles for doping.

HOCKEY Canucks hire new general manager

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Vancouver Canucks hired Jim Benning as general manager Wednesday. Benning is the first significant hire made by Trevor Linden, the former Canucks star who took over as president of hockey operations after the team missed the playoffs for the first time in six years. The 51-year-old Benning spent the last eight seasons with the Boston Bruins, including seven as assistant general manager. The former BASEBALL defenseman Cubs will go ahead with Canucks replaces Mike Gillis, fired as Wrigley expansion president and general manCHICAGO — The owners ager a day after the club was of the Chicago Cubs say eliminated from the playoffs.
