A peek into Coos County’s economic future Jordan Cove’s potential population, spending impact could change economic landscape BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
COOS BAY — If the Jordan Cove Energy Project comes, analysts predict a multimillion-dollar spending snowball descending on the county. Chuck Deister, Jordan Cove’s labor liaison and state lobbyist, spoke at the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon Wednesday at the Mill Casino-Hotel. He said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s draft
Environmental Impact Statement is expected “any day now.” The draft EIS is a big step in the liquefied natural gas facility’s permitting process. “We are looking more likely than we have over the last 10 years we’ve been at this of going into construction right about a year from now,” Deister said. It’s estimated construction on the $7.5 billion project ($6 billion for the LNG terminal and $1.5 billion for the pipeline) would take until second quarter 2019.
During those four years, Coos County would feel a huge impact from the population and spending influx. “It sounds like we could get squashed in all this if we’re not prepared,” a woman called out during the chamber luncheon. “Are we behind the curve preparing for this?” The short answer, Deister said, is “no.” “But we want you to start thinking now,” he said. “You won’t see the bulk of the workers until 2016 or 2017. You’re going to have some time
to get used to it.” At peak construction, there will be 2,100 people working on the LNG facility and another 1,400 working on the pipeline. Over the entire construction period, that’s an average of 930 working on the LNG facility and 837 working on the pipeline. And each of those workers will make around $96,000 a year, which means huge spending potential in North Bend, Coos Bay and the surrounding county. E.D.

tisan forum. But they don’t want to lose the ability to counter GOP claims and provide cover for potential witnesses. In an interview Thursday with USA Today, the congressman chosen by Speaker John Boehner to head the probe signaled he’d re-examine the entirety of the Benghazi attack, including some questions long dismissed by Democrats and even some senior The GOP-led Republicans. House Armed Services Committee concluded months ago that the U.S. military couldn’t have responded in time to save Ambassador Chris Stevens and
COOS BAY — Would-be developers on the South Coast have long faced a dilemma when considering building on Coos Bay. Forego a potentially lucrative development, or risk the potential legal, environmental and financial consequences of building without vital data? The Partnership for Coastal Watersheds is trying to solve that dilemma by building the first working inventory of the estuary’s natural attributes. Organizers say the project is long overdue. “The land use plan for Coos County hasn’t been updated in over 30 years,” said partnership committee member Jon Barton. Craig Cornu, the South Slough’s monitoring research coordinator, said the partnership originally grew out of the Coos Watershed Association’s “coffee klatches” — informal neighborhood meetings with residents of the bay’s lowland areas held to gather input for restoration projects. “We realized we could take that coffee klatch concept and bump it up,” he said. Assembling a group of stakeholders ranging from landowners to scientists, the partnership completed its first assessment of the state of the South Slough in 2012. Cornu said the project was a little broad in what it tried to accomplish, but those efforts were more than enough to win the 2013 Land Board Partnership Award from the Department of State Lands. In the process, the group refocused on a new challenge. Individual agencies have conducted thousands of pages of peer-reviewed research on everything from salmonid species to sediment shifts in the bay. There is no easily accessible database for that information. “There’s a lack of information for zoning planners,” he said. That lack of readily available data can leave city planners and landowners vulnerable to nasty surprises ranging from rising sea levels to lawsuits.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are set to begin a special investigation of the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, raising the stakes in a political battle with the Obama administration as the midterm election season heats up. Democrats are considering a boycott of the select committee, which is expected to be approved formally when the Republicanled House votes early Thursday evening.

Marshfield grad signed by New York talent agency
County offices on the move BY EMILY THORNTON The World
COQUILLE — What began last year as a discussion of putting a generator in the Owen Building ended in changing the location of several county offices and remodeling parts of the county jail. Commissioners Bob Main and Melissa Cribbins met with Richard P. Turi, an architect hired last December, Sheriff Craig Zanni and several other county officials Wednesday to begin preliminary revision decisions. Officials found the building wouldn’t stand during an earthquake, so the idea of turning it into an Emergency
Operations Center wouldn’t work. Cribbins, Main and Commissioner John Sweet began looking for an alternate place for an EOC. The sheriff’s office wasn’t compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to a recent inspection, Turi said. The EOC is also “woefully inadequate to function as a true county EOC,” Turi said in a report presented to county officials. The current sheriff’s office is 3,864 square feet, which isn’t large enough to house the 18 desks and other rooms properly, Turi said. The proposed size is 7,160 square feet. “My biggest issue now is we have two gallons of liquid
to go into a one gallon container,” Turi said. The cost of such a project is unknown as it’s in beginning stages. Where the money would come from was also unclear, although the architect’s work is being paid for out of the maintenance department budget, Cribbins said. “After we receive the cost estimate, the commissioners will meet and discuss whether to proceed and if so, how to fund the project, whether it be from the building fund or through other funds, but it is too early for me to predict the funding stream,” Cribbins said. Main and Cribbins decided to move the sheriff’s office
to the ground floor of the jail, from its current location on the ground floor of the courthouse. The Emergency Operations Center could move to the third floor of the jail, which isn’t being used, the SCINT office could move to the old sheriff’s office, and 911 and community corrections offices could remain in their current locations. The 911 office could remain where it is for now due to the possibility of Jordan Cove Energy Project adding a dispatch center when it’s built, Main and Cribbins said.

Proposed offshore wind farm snags federal funding Police Log THE WORLD COOS BAY — The U.S. Department of Energy announced Wednesday that it has chosen a floating wind farm proposed for the deep waters off Coos Bay for up to $47 million in matching grant funds over the next four years.
In February, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management gave Principle Power the go-ahead to craft plans for the WindFloat Pacific project, a 30megawatt floating offshore wind farm proposed 18 miles off the coast of Coos Bay. The Seattle-based com-
pany is proposing to site five floating “WindFloat” units within a 15-square-mile area in about 1,400 feet of water. Each unit will carry a 6-megawatt offshore wind turbine. Electrical cables connect the units, and a single cable would bring the power onshore.

If the project receives final approval, it would be the first offshore wind project on the West Coast and the first in the nation to use floating structures to support wind generation in the Outer Continental Shelf. The project has been applauded by Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, as well as Rep. Peter DeFazio. “ ( We d n e s d a y ’s ) announcement is a win-win for Coos Bay,” DeFazio said in a news release. “Not only will this federal grant support good-paying jobs on the Oregon coast, it also promotes the renewable energy industry. With this grant, we are making a strong statement about our commitment to cutting carbon emissions and given this week’s U.S. National Climate Assessment, this commitment could not come at a better time.” In addition to the Coos Bay project, the DOE announced two other projects off the coast of Virginia and New Jersey would each
also receive up to $47 million in federal funding. Following DOE's announcement Wednesday, Principle Power and Deepwater Wind announced an agreement to complete development of the wind farm project. Deepwater Wind is an offshore wind developer. Its Block Island Wind Farm off the Rhode Island coast could be the nation's first offshore wind farm. Principle Power has also operated a WindFloat prototype off the coast of Portugal since 2011. The DOE announced seven offshore wind demonstration projects in December 2012. They each received up to $4 million to finish engineering, design and permitting phases. At the time, the DOE foreshadowed Wednesday’s announcement, saying only up to three of the projects would snag the $47 million in funding. Wednesday’s announcement left four out of the loop: projects in Maine, Ohio and Texas.

He asked lunch diners to imagine, at peak construction, 2,100 workers on the LNG plant and another 1,400 working on the pipeline to
carry the gas, each earning about $96,000 a year. It’s estimated they’ll spend upward of $140 million in the region during the four years of construction. With the multiplier effect, that could add up to more than $200 million spent on disposable and durable goods, groceries, health care, autos and various entertainments (and you can guess at what the term “entertainment” could encompass). And there will be traffic. Getting that many men and women to and from work will have its impact on the section of U.S. Highway 101 near the McCullough Bridge,
no matter what mitigation efforts are undertaken. And we haven’t even gotten into details about the social effects. What’s the impact of more than 2,000 new souls living temporarily among us? What was the effect on communities in the Dakotas when oil production began to boom there just a few short years ago? What was the effect on the population centers of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Valdez when the trans-Alaska oil pipeline was being built? You could look it all up in the Internet and derive what conclusions you are already predisposed to adopt. But it
brings to our minds the old English fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk.” You remember the story: Jack must sell his destitute family’s cow, but instead trades the cow for magic beans. From the beans grows a monstrous stalk. Jack climbs the stalk and endures multiple challenges, but eventually ends up with riches. With the Community Enhancement Plan, we have traded our cow (tax revenues) for as yet unknown riches. But we’ll need to endure significant challenges before we realize them. Let’s hope we have a fairy tale ending, too.
Will Warren run? Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is on a publicity tour for her new campaign-style book, “A Fighting Chance.” As she talks to the press,Warren is repeating previous statements that she will not run for president in 2016. But her denials aren’t really denials, and her party’s unique presidential circumstances give Warren plenty of room to run. First, the non-denial denials. Recently ABC’s David Muir asked Warren, “Are you going to run for president?” Warren’s response was,“I’m not running for president.” That’s the oldest lawyerly evasion in the book. Warren, a former law professor, did not say, “I am not going to run for president.” Instead, she said she is “not running,” which could, in some sense, be true when she spoke the words but no longer true by, say, later this year. Muir also asked Warren about the dominant frontrunner in the Democratic race.“Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president?” "I think Hillary Clinton BYRON is terrific,” Warren said, YORK which is no way answered the question. Columnist And why shouldn’t she run? With Clinton 50-plus points ahead of any other potential candidate, it’s an understatement to say the Democratic Party has put all its presidential eggs in one basket. So here are five reasons — there are probably more — why Warren should make a 2016 run for the White House. 1. Life is unpredictable. Clinton will be 69 years old on Inauguration Day 2017, nearly the oldest president ever. She has had a few health scares. By all accounts, she left her previous four-year stint in government service exhausted. And the Democrat in second place in the polls, Vice President Joe Biden — 74 on Inauguration Day — is too old to be president. Beyond them, Democrats have nobody — except Elizabeth Warren. 2. Parties need competition. The primary process isn’t just to allow voters to pick a nominee. It’s for the candidates to become better candidates. The rigors of campaigning, the day-to-day jostle with competitors and the stress of high-profile debates all make candidates better. 3. The Left wants a hero. Clinton has never really excited the most liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Warren, on the other hand, has thrilled the Left with her attacks on inequality, plutocrats and big financial institutions. 4. Hillary ran a dumb campaign in 2008 and might do so again. For a group of seasoned veterans, the 2008 Clinton campaign showed a stunning ignorance of how to win delegates in a Democratic contest. Rival Barack Obama exploited that weakness brilliantly. For example, Obama collected more net delegates by winning the Idaho caucuses, with 21,000 participants, than Clinton did by winning the New Jersey primary, with more than 1 million voters. Clinton just didn’t pay attention to the smaller stuff, particularly the caucuses,and her cluelessness helped Obama win. It might help another rival in 2016. 5. One more time: Life is unpredictable. This is Warren’s only chance to run. She will be 67 on Inauguration Day 2017. (Has any party ever fielded a group as old as Clinton, Biden and Warren?) A run in 2020 or later is out of the question. Hillary, now struggling to define her legacy as secretary of state, is running on pure entitlement. The only thing about her candidacy that truly excites the Democratic base is that she would be the first woman president. Of course, that applies to Elizabeth Warren, too. And Warren would present a far fresher face to voters than Clinton, who has been in the national spotlight since 1992. At some point, Democrats are going to realize the precariousness of their unthinking devotion to a single, flawed candidate. Elizabeth Warren could remind them there’s someone else to vote for.
Letters to the Editor Support Home Rule Charter Please join my family and friends in voting yes for our Home Rule Charter for the following sound reasons: This proposed citizens charter is far better than our current system. It makes the county governance very similar to our cities, ports and districts. Home rule is growing across the nation for good reasons. Trouble has been looming for our county for decades. The current system seems to defeat even fine individuals as we remain on the brink of bankruptcy despite “outsourcing” many vital functions. A no vote only protects status quo and $88,000 each per year for three commissioners now presiding over a smaller sinking boat. The current system is marginal at best. Obviously, it can be made to work, but not well. Those who advocate otherwise mostly have conflicts of interest or use incomplete information in their arguments. The current “liaison” communication to departments is ineffective, awkward and erratic. “Unpaid” citizen commissioners will be far better legislators, setting direction and policy for the people instead of those with an inherent conflict of interest, i.e., protecting their paycheck. Public service should be its own reward. I first opposed the proposed $10,000 commissioner annual stipend. In the spirit of compromise, however, that amount may help all interested citizens run and serve, not just those who are retired or wealthy. The five citizen commissioners will select an “at will”administrator, just as we do in our cities, ports and districts. If not successful, removal can be accomplished if three commissioners deem it necessary. Far better than four years of living with mistakes and much more humane than recalls. Current elected officials serve out their terms and are eligible to continue as department heads based on performance and knowledge standards. Again, far more efficient, effective and correctable if problems arise. Everyone who receives a real paycheck needs a real boss. We don’t need the stalemates that can and have occurred between elected officials with the current system.
They all work for us, but we are not in a position to supervise or evaluate except every four years and only then if there is more than one candidate. Popularity is not a measure of competence. In summary, after learning from 44 years of public service in city, county, state, district and private endeavors, please join me to charter a better future. Please vote yes on 8-76! Dave Bassett Port Orford
Another vote for Home Rule As a public servant who has experienced working under the current county governance system and a “home rule”-type system with a city manager at the city of Brookings, I don’t hesitate to vote yes on measure 8-76. In my nine years working for Curry County I experienced many changes in leadership, and with each of those changes came a new direction in the vision of county services. These changes were not necessarily for the overall good of Curry County but often based on small special interests. We have had many good people serve as county commissioners, but there is no denying that once in, that salary is pretty appealing to hang on to. Sometimes hanging on to it results in riding the fence to ensure that popularity remains high and reelection probable. A fear of offending the voters prevents elected officials from making sometimes unpopular but necessary decisions. The desire to be popular sometimes results in elected officials demanding that staff give special treatment to powerful friends. I butted heads with several county commissioners over the years due to my refusal to participate in this, and can honestly say that in my 15 years with the city of Brookings I have never been asked to do so by city leaders. During my tenure with the city I have experienced working under five city managers, but because they were professional businessmen (sadly no women — yet!), the basic vision of the city’s future never changed significantly. Continuity is essential to success and stability in business. Join with me in voting yes on 8-76 to give Curry County stable and professional leadership for future
success. The thoughts and opinions in this letter are my own and not intended to be construed as an opinion of the city of Brookings. LauraLee Snook Gold Beach
CEP deserves your support As Bay Area Chamber of Commerce president-elect, I urge our community to stand behind the Community Enhancement Plan, and our four Bay Area Enterprise Zone (EZ) sponsors, and support this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring support to our underfunded local education system for the future leaders of our community, our children. The components of the plan, the South Coast Community Foundation and the Bay Front Investment Corp., have the ability to bolster the underfunded local education system with funds that could be used for extracurricular activities and repairs and revitalize the Coos Bay Estuary and shoreline properties by creating an endowment fund that will greatly benefit our local community. If the SCCF is approved, and the project gets approval, the schools of Coos County will receive a gift from the JCEP for 19 years, $6 million dollars in each of the first four years and up to $13 million in 2034. If the Enterprise Zone sponsors do nothing, we will receive no new property tax money until 2023, including the schools in Coos County. After 2023 JCEP would resume making property taxes payments with 99 percent going to the Coos County Urban Renewal and North Bay Rural Fire Protection District. If the Urban Renew Agency is disbanded or declines funding, 44.5 percent goes to K-12 Coos Bay public schools, 4.38 percent to ESD and 6.93 percent to the community college (SOCC), but all is “clawed back” through state equalization. The opportunity of a life time is to support the Community Enhancement Plan and the SCCF setup as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation for distribution of funds which falls outside the state’s current support formulas for public education, and retains 100 percent of the CEP funds here locally to enhance the quality of life through improved education and employment opportunities. Currently the EZ sponsors are
ratifying the SCCF bylaws, ensuring public access and transparency even though a 501(c)(3) is not obligated to comply with Oregon Meeting Laws. A great deal of effort has gone into the bylaws to allow it. Now is the time to make this dream a reality, support the CEP. Rick Skinner Coos Bay
Vote to re-elect Beaman I would like to share my personal experience with Judge Cynthia Beaman. I have had the pleasure to work with her on numerous committees related to activities for all children and teenagers. She devotes a tremendous amount of time creating and organizing family fun nights at the elementary school, school carnivals, parentteacher organization PTO, Brookings youth association and Brookings United activities. In all my years of working with her, she always has looked for ways to better our community and provide opportunities for all youth. Cynthia is honest, responsible and a hard worker. I am most impressed with the attention she has with her two young boys and husband. She is an extraordinary mother and wife. We are so lucky to have her family as part of our community. Please join me by voting to reelect Judge Cynthia Beaman. Alice Farmer Brookings

State Sleeve tattoo could raise eyebrows at black tie event DEAR ABBY: I’m a young professional female with a military background. I’m well-educated and have a great job. However, I am also tattooed. The design is a tasteful full sleeve, with some work on my chest and other arm. I will be DEAR attending a black tie affair for m y boyfriend’s company and am wondering what attire would be appropriate JEANNE for such an PHILLIPS event. I’m n o t ashamed of my art, and I have no issue with baring my arms, but would this be acceptable in this circumstance? — FOREVER COVERED DEAR FOREVER COV ERED: I’m glad you asked, because it depends upon what kind of company your boyfriend works for. If it’s creative, then to display your body art would not be shocking. However, if the company culture is conservative, it might attract unwelcome attention, and I don’t recommend it. DEAR ABBY: I have been intimately involved with another woman. Our relationship has been great for the past eight months. There is an immense amount of love and caring for each other. Although we have been together, we do not currently live together. My problem is she’s still living with her ex-husband. They have been separated for 12 years, but circumstances have brought them back into the same residence. I don’t have an issue with their “roommate” situation. I have been to their home, have stayed the night and I’m OK with their arrangement. What I DO take issue with is him introducing himself as her husband. Since I heard him do that, I have been in an uncomfortable state. Am I wrong for feeling this way, or is she wrong for allowing it to happen? — SEETHING IN SACRAMENTO DEAR SEETHING: Whether this couple has been separated for 12 years or not, they are still legally married. He IS her husband. You may be feeling uncomfortable because you feel like you may be involved in a triangle, and from where I sit, it may be true. It’s time to have a frank conversation with your partner to clarify exactly what your role is. DEAR ABBY: I have been trying to plan my son and future daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner. The bride originally told me a local pizza place would be fine for the dinner. I insisted that I would like something “nicer,” and she said it was up to me. I have found a place within budget, but have just learned that the bridal shower is being catered by the same place. Is it acceptable for me to have the rehearsal at the same place? We live in a town with relatively limited options, and there are other important festivities going on that day that limit my options further. Holding the rehearsal dinner at my house would be too stressful. Would it be OK to have it at the same restaurant, but serve different food? — FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW DEAR FUTURE MOTH ER-IN-LAW: Absolutely! And congratulations on the forthcoming happy event.

Police: Bank robbery note was on grocery receipt STATE
BEND (AP) — An Oregon police affidavit says a robber at the Home Federal Bank two weeks ago demanded money by giving the teller a note written on the back of a grocery receipt. It was only part of the receipt, Bend Detective Jeff Frickey said in the affidavit, but it had the last four digits of a food stamp account and the account balance — enough to get investigators going. State records provided a name to go with the account number, the Bend Bulletin reported, and an online search of the name turned up a pawn shop transaction with a telephone number. A service provider then came up with the coordinates of the phone, the Stillwater Campground in Central Oregon. That, the affidavit said, is where 54-year-old Robert Short was arrested on theft and robbery charges. At an interview afterward, Frickey’s affidavit said, Short denied the charges, saying he never keeps receipts and would have thrown it in the trash, where anyone could have picked it up. A plea hearing is scheduled May 27.
Jackson County gets drought declaration SALEM (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber has added a sixth county to the list of drought emergency declarations — Jackson County in Southern Oregon. Drought emergency declarations allow the state to prioritize use of water for
D I G E S T human consumption and livestock, and they enable residents hurt by drought to get federal aid. Earlier this year, Kitzhaber declared drought emergencies in Crook, Harney, Klamath, Lake and Malheur counties. Kitzhaber said Wednesday that in a separate drought action, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated six Oregon counties as natural disaster areas, making farmers in those and contiguous counties eligible for assistance including emergency loans. Those six counties are Harney, Jackson, Klamath, Lake, Lane and Malheur.
Paralyzed skier asks resort be held liable ASTORIA (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court has heard arguments from a snowboarder paralyzed from the waist down after a jump at a popular Bend resort. The snowboarder says the waiver he signed does not release the resort from liability for his injuries. The arguments Wednesday in Astoria centered on the difference between the assumed risk that skiers and snowboarders take on dangerous jumps and the responsibility of a snow park operator to make sure its jumps and moguls are safe. Myles Bagley was 18 when he was injured at the Mt. Bachelor ski resort in 2006 on a jump. Bagley’s

This April 28 photo provided by Crater Lake National Park shows the formation of snow cornices on the edge of the caldera of the Mount Mazama volcano. It was taken near the spot where a hiker on snowshoes may have fallen more than 1,000 feet down the sheer caldera wall when a cornice collapsed beneath him. After family reported the hiker missing, rangers followed a set of tracks from a trail to a cornice that had collapsed. attorneys argued his injuries could have been avoided if the jump were designed differently. Mt. Bachelor’s attorney says a mandatory waiver signed with a lift pass sale exempts the resort.
Missing snowshoer at Crater Lake CRATER LAKE (AP) — A snowshoer may have fallen more than 1,000 feet over the edge of Crater Lake, National Park officials said Wednesday. The man was last seen April 28 and was reported missing two days later, officials said. They have not released his identity. Rangers discovered snowshoe tracks leading from a trail onto an overhang called a “snow cornice” that had collapsed. Officials say snow cornices jut from the rim of the lake with no solid ground beneath. They form when snow is blown over sharp terrain and are com-
mon this time of year, but they can collapse without warning, according to park officials. The cornices are obvious when seen from the side, but hikers walking toward one might think it’s just an uphill walk, Park spokeswoman Marsha McCabe said. A person would be unlikely to survive a fall over Crater Lake’s rim, she said.

Patricia Jean (Thompson) Morgan, 69, known by many as Pat, or Patti to most, was born May 9, 1944, in Santa Monica, Calif., to Wally and Leta Thompson. She was raised in Coos Bay, and spent the first half of her life there. Mom preferred to do life on her own terms, in her own time. She started her family at age 16 having her first child, Joe Cotton, followed by Kevin Johnson at 19 and then Teri Nofziger at 22. Knowing how “active” we all were as kids a person might think three kids were enough. Not Mom; she went ahead and had Jodie Sutterfield 12 years later!

hard to provide for her family, it wasn’t an easy road for her but remember, Mom preferred to do life her way. Before we get to the end of her physical life let’s talk about “Mema” — that’s what most of her grandkids called her. Here’s the list: Rachel, Shay, Tristan, Jordan, Savannah, Camrin, Connor and Kalleigh. Mema had an open-door policy at her house and the grands, especially Jordan, Connor, Savannah and Camrin, treated her place as an extension of their own. Mema loved feeding the masses and giving them gifts, but the real gift from her was the time she gave them! We need to give a shout out to her in-home companions: The cats! Gilbert, the cheese hog and Socks, the slightly psycho one (to get her to come in the house you have to show her your bare feet!). Now, let’s get to Moms passing. Mom had been frail for many years and the three oldest kids had not been around. Misty took great care of Mom before and after her health declined — thank
you Miss for being there, you did well and Mom was proud of you. So now comes the week before Mom died. All five of her children and most of her grands spent the entire week laughing, crying, telling fantastic stories, and sharing memories with her. It was a good week. Mom waited for us to come, she wanted us all to be together for the first time and she wanted us to all get a chance to hear her say, “I love you” and for us to say good-bye to her. We were all with her on April 11, 2014, holding her hands, caressing her face, and loving her when she went to be with Jesus — with a smile on her face! Mom, as you requested, we will be together at Frona Park this summer. Better yet, we plan on meeting each summer in your honor to celebrate your life. Thanks Mom for bringing us together. Kisses.

Nation Windfall means ‘moment of reckoning’ for Yahoo CEO SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer faces a $10 billion decision in a few months. The pivotal moment will come when the Chinese ecommerce leader Alibaba Group completes its initial public offering of stock — an enormous deal that triggers a provision requiring Yahoo to sell about 40 percent of its stake in the company. The sale is expected to generate a windfall that will intensify pressure on Mayer to revive Yahoo’s revenue growth after years of lethargy. “This is Marissa’s moment of reckoning,” says Moshe Cohen, a Columbia University business professor who has been tracking Yahoo’s ties with Alibaba.
Obama hits up Silicon Valley for money LOS ANGELES (AP) — They come from different worlds — the buttoneddown political culture of Washington and the entrepreneurial, socks-optional, let’s-do-this-faster ethos of Silicon Valley. But where those worlds overlap, that’s where you find President Barack Obama and a wealthy segment of his Democratic donor base. Obama was to attend two high-dollar Democratic Party fundraisers Thursday hosted by Silicon Valley executives, drawing attention to the complicated relationship between the president and the high-tech industry.
Suspect statements should be thrown out BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev argue that statements he made to authorities after his arrest should be thrown out because he was questioned for 36 hours in a hospital room while suffering from gunshot wounds and without being told his rights. said The lawyers Wednesday in a flurry of pretrial court filings that federal

US will help Arkansas rebuild after storms VILONIA, Ark. (AP) — Surveying the remnants of nature’s destructive power in the country’s midsection, President Barack Obama pledged Wednesday to residents of tornado-ravaged Arkansas communities that their government will stand with them until they finish rebuilding. Obama said he wanted to visit this small city about a half-hour north of Little Rock to make sure those grieving the loss of loved ones, their homes and treasured possessions know that they will not be forgotten.
Applications for US unemployment aid fall WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 26,000 last week to 319,000, the latest sign that the job market is slowly improving. The drop follows two weeks of increases that reflected mostly temporary layoffs around the Easter holiday. The holiday can cause an uptick in layoffs of bus drivers, cafeteria workers and other school workers during spring break. Those earlier increases caused the four-week average of applications, a less volatile number, to rise 4,500 to a seasonally adjusted 324,750. With the impact of the holiday fading, applications are returning to pre-recession levels. The average fell in early April to 312,000, the fewest since October 2007. The recession officially began in December 2007.

Protesters sit during a rally against recent police shootings in Albuquerque, N.M., on March 30.
Activists eye history in new protest ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — As the threat of another tense standoff at an Albuquerque City Council meeting brews Thursday, protesters angry over a series of police shootings are harkening back to the city’s long history of civil disturbance and modeling their demonstrations after those including a notorious 1960s citizen raid of a northern New Mexico courthouse. In 1967, protesters contending the U.S. government stole millions of acres of land from Mexican-American residents stormed a courthouse to attempt a citizen’s arrest of the district attorney. During the raid, the group shot and wounded a state police officer and jailer, beat a deputy and took the sheriff and a reporter hostage. Now, a leader of this week’s protests cited that episode as the motivation for the City Council demonstration in which protesters attempted a citizen’s arrest of the police chief. “That’s where we got the idea for the citizen’s arrest,” said David Correia, a protest organizer and University of New Mexico American studies professor. He wasn’t advocating violence, but a focus on civil disobedience, saying participants were
willing to be arrested. It is an interesting turn of events in Albuquerque, where distrust of the Police Department is at an all-time high after an officer shot and killed an armed man following a weekend SWAT standoff. Police in the city of 550,000 people have been involved in 39 shootings since 2010 and are under tough scrutiny following a harsh report from the U.S. Justice Department over use of force. On Monday, activists stormed the City Council chambers and forced city leaders to abruptly end the meeting, and they planned more unrest at Thursday’s meeting. The rowdy disruption of the City Council meeting, protesters say, also follows the tactics of another 1960s Mexican-American group — the Black Berets. Similar to the Black Panther Party, the Berets mounted community patrols, opened free clinics and protested police brutality in Albuquerque. To draw attention to their causes, they often attended meetings and events unannounced to force authorities to hear them out. The latest protest also highlighted the dilemma facing Albuquerque police. Police Chief Gorden Eden was hired just three months ago to
bring reform to the troubled department, which recently implemented changes such as lapel-mounted cameras on officers to lead to more transparency about police actions. But video of recent shootings, especially one in March involving a knife-wielding homeless camper, has only inflamed tensions once the footage went viral. And police insist that the suspect in the weekend shooting was a threat because he was armed and putting his family and others in danger. Deputy Chief Eric Garcia stressed that officers patiently negotiated with suspect Armand Martin and attempted to de-escalate the situation but had no other choice when he exited his home with handguns. On Monday, protesters called for a citizen’s arrest of Eden, charging him with “harboring fugitives from justice at the Albuquerque Police Department” and for “crimes against humanity” in connection with recent police shootings. The police chief quickly left the City Council meeting after the citizen’s arrest was announced, and no protesters tried to apprehend him. Had anyone touched him, authorities said they could have faced charges of battery on a police officer.
Colorado lawmakers have approved the world’s first financial system for the marijuana industry, a network of uninsured cooperatives designed to give pot businesses a way to access basic banking services. The plan, approved Wednesday, seeks to move the marijuana industry away from its cash-only roots. Banks routinely reject pot businesses for even basic services such as checking accounts because they fear running afoul of federal law, which considers marijuana and its proceeds illegal. The result: Pot shop owners deal in large amounts of cash, which makes them targets for criminals. Or they try to find ways around the problem, like drenching their proceeds in air freshener to remove the stink of marijuana and try to fool traditional banks into accepting their money.
Bible curriculum part of push OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Steve Green’s faith led him to the U.S. Supreme Court, where he’s argued the nation’s new health care law and its requirement that his business provide certain types of birth control to employees violates his religious freedoms. At the same time, the president of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores is working to add the Bible to the curriculum of public high schools nationwide. His purpose, stated more clearly at some times than at others, is for students to learn its text and put America on a righteous course.

World WORLD Pro-Russia insurgents to hold vote D I G E S T Ousted Thai prime minister indicted BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s anti-graft commission has indicted ousted Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra over charges of dereliction of duty in overseeing a contentious rice subsidy program. National Anti-Corruption Commission chief Panthep Klanarongran says it voted unanimously that there were enough grounds to indict her. The decision Thursday came one day after the Constitutional Court ousted Yingluck and nine Cabinet members for abuse of power.
Hundreds to move out of West Bank areas JABAL AL-BABA, West Bank (AP) — Over the course of just three weeks, Israeli forces destroyed Suleiman Qaed’s small cinderblock house and the trailer home an aid group sent him as a replacement. Even the Red Cross tent his family now calls home appears at risk of being torn down, with Israeli officers taking pictures of it and warning him that it’s in an illegal location. But Qaed, 54, fears far worse is in store — the dismantling of his entire Bedouin community called Jabal al-Baba. The hilltop encampment of shacks and sheep pens is located just east of Jerusalem in one of the most strategic areas of the West Bank. Its fate could help determine if setting up a Palestinian state next to Israel will soon no longer be possible.
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — The pro-Russia insurgency in eastern Ukraine decided Thursday to go ahead with Sunday’s referendum on autonomy or even independence despite a call from Russian President Vladimir Putin to postpone it. While Putin’s suggestion was seen as an effort to step back from confrontation and negotiate a deal with the West, he fueled tensions again on Thursday by overseeing military exercises that Russian news agencies said simulated a massive retaliatory nuclear strike in response to an enemy attack. Putin said the exercise involving Russia’s nuclear forces had been planned back in November, but it came as relations between Russia and the West have plunged to their lowest point since the Cold War. On the ground in Ukraine, many have feared that the referendum in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk could be a flashpoint for further violence between Ukrainian troops and the pro-Russia militants who have seized government buildings and police stations in about a dozen cities in the east. Ukraine launched a government offensive last week to try to oust the rebels and said at least 34 people were killed in the fighting. The question on the ballot is: “Do you support the act of
Bomb kills 9 troops in Pakistan near Afghan border
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A roadside bombing in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border killed nine paramilitary soldiers on Thursday, the army said. The attack came as the Pakistani Venezuelan officials military test-fired a ballistic break up camps missile it said could carry a CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) nuclear warhead, an exercise — Hundreds of security meant to showcase the forces broke up four camps maintained by student protesters, arresting 243 people Thursday in a pre-dawn raid. The camps consisting of small tents were installed more than a month ago in front of the offices of the United Nations and other stronganti-government holds in the capital to protest against President Nicolas Maduro’s government Venezuela’s Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres on Thursday said that those arrested would appear in court to face charges the coming hours.
Rise in complaints of abuse in jails RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian rights group says it has documented nearly 500 complaints of detainee abuse in Palestinian jails in 2013, up by 200 from the previous year. The Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights said Thursday that the increase is due, in part, to better access for its investigators to lockups in the Gaza Strip. The Islamic militant group Hamas has ruled Gaza since seizing it from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in 2007, leaving him with only parts of the West Bank.
Muslim world scholars condemn kidnapping JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Top religious scholars working under the world’s largest bloc of Islamic countries said Thursday they strongly condemn the kidnapping of more than 270 Nigerian schoolgirls, calling for their immediate release. The kidnappings three weeks ago by the extremist group Boko Haram have led to worldwide condemnation. The group’s leader has used Islamic teachings as justification for threatening to sell the girls into slavery. The Islamic Fiqh Academy, which is based in Saudi Arabia and dedicated to the advanced study of Islam, said that this “crime and other crimes committed by the likes of these extremist organizations contradicts all humanitarian principles and moral values and violates the provisions of the Quran and Sunnah,” or teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
mous among rebel leaders, said Denis Pushilin, cochairman of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic. He said Putin’s suggestion to postpone the vote “came from a person who indubitably cares for the population of the southeast” of Ukraine and thanked the Russian leader for his efforts to find a way out of Ukraine’s political crisis. “But we are just a bullhorn for the people,” Pushilin said. “We just voice what the people want and demonstrate through their actions.” Kiev’s interim government says Russia has been fomenting the unrest in eastern Ukraine, a charge Russia denies. Ukrainian authorities also fear the vote Sunday may play out like the separatist vote in March in Crimea: Russia annexed the peninsula immediately after residents voted to secede from Ukraine. Putin on Wednesday also declared that Russia had pulled its troops away from the Ukrainian border, although NATO and Washington said The Associated Press they have seen no signs of this. The head of the elections commission of the so-called Donetsk People's “I have very good vision.

nuclear-armed nation’s capabilities. Pakistan is under mounting pressure to fight militants in the volatile North Waziristan region along the boundary with Afghanistan ahead of the withdrawal of U.S.-led international troops from the neighboring country by the end of the year.
But the government has balked from launching such an operation, fearing a backlash as it battles militants elsewhere in Pakistan. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has made negotiations with the Taliban a centerpiece of his government in an effort to end violence that has killed
thousands, issued a statement condemning Thursday’s bombing. The bomb “planted by terrorists” near the town of Miran Shah in North Waziristan struck a military convoy, killing nine and wounding several troops, according to an army statement.
Rebels blow up historic Aleppo hotel BEIRUT (AP) — A rebelclaimed bombing Thursday in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo leveled a once luxurious hotel near the ancient Citadel that government troops used as a military base, causing multiple casualties, activists and militants said. Syrian state television said the explosion struck the Carlton Hotel in a government-held area on the edge of a contested neighborhood in the old part of Aleppo. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which maintains a network of activists on the ground, said at least 14 soldiers were killed in the blast.
Pakistan releases FBI agent KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan released an FBI agent on nearly $10,000 bail Thursday after three days in custody, officials said, a move that is likely to prevent the situation from escalating into a diplomatic spat. The American man, who has been identified as Joel Cox from the bureau’s Miami field office, was detained after airport authorities found him carrying ammunition and three knives Monday as he was about to board a flight for the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. The arrest had threatened to open a new chapter in troubled relations between Pakistan and the U.S., which have been uneasy allies since the Sept. 11 terror attacks. But the relatively fast release suggested efforts to defuse any tensions.

FUTURE Spending may reach $205M Continued from Page A1 For the county as a whole, they estimate a $142 million direct spending impact during those four years of construction. That includes $71 million in North Bend alone. Throughout the county, analysts expect workers will spend tens of millions of dollars on gas, cars and car parts, dining, apparel and other retail, entertainment and recreation, health care and social assistance, and more. By the end of construction, that’s nearly $205 million spent in the county, including indirect spending. About 32 percent of Jordan Cove’s workforce will come from the South Coast, according to discussions with local labor unions, Deister said. The rest will be pulled from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Once the facility is up and running, 150 people will have

permanent jobs at the terminal and pipeline. Their average annual wage is expected to be $75,000 to $80,000, plus benefits. Jordan Cove will also pay for 51 indirect jobs (sheriff’s deputies, firefighters, tugboat crews and emergency planners). The biggest concerns at Wednesday’s chamber luncheon revolved around impact to the local housing market, U.S. Highway 101 traffic and dredging. FERC requires Jordan Cove to provide housing so as not to disrupt the local housing market, which led to the company’s decision to build a workforce camp on the Al Pierce property under the McCullough Bridge. That proposal is currently under consideration. The company also wants to add as little traffic to the highway as possible. The company will put a turning signal at the highway’s intersection with Trans-Pacific Highway to manage traffic flow, but they don’t want their workers driving to work every day. “They will be on buses (from the workforce camp),”
he said. “We’re also looking at water taxis and we’re looking at buying some passenger rail cars on the rail line.” He also said dredging the channel for incoming LNG tankers is not required. Their drafts are shallow enough, he said, that additional dredging won’t be necessary. Construction workers typically don’t bring their families to live with them, so there will be little to no impact on schools, he said. “A good chunk of the labor force will show up with their
low-turnout midterm elections. Accusations of an administration cover-up still rev up the GOP’s conservative base. The legislation crafted by Boehner demands only that the select committee must be re-established when a new Congress begins in January, and includes no explicit financial constraints. Republicans say the White House, concerned primarily with protecting President Barack Obama in the final weeks of his re-election campaign, misled the nation by playing down intelligence suggesting Benghazi was a
major, al-Qaida-linked terrorist attack. They accuse the administration of stonewalling congressional investigators, pointing specifically to emails written by U.S. officials in the days after the attack but only released last week. Boehner has brushed aside Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s calls for an evenly split committee, opting instead to appoint seven Republicans and five Democrats. The National Republican Congressional Committee’s pitch said the GOP was

106th Coos County Meet
Practice limits will change
By Lou Sennick, The World
North Bend’s Drew Matthews keeps his eyes on the pit while he competes and wins the boys long jump at the Prefontaine Rotary Invitational in April. Matthews is one of the favorites for this event and the triple jump Friday night at the Coos County Meet.
Records will be on the line Friday BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
COOS BAY — A few records are in jeopardy while the two team titles appear destined to stay in the Bay Area on Friday night during the 106th Coos County Meet at Marshfield High School. North Bend’s boys are heavy favorites in the meet, which includes all six county high schools. The girls team race appears to be a dead heat between the Bulldogs and the host Pirates. The first field events start at 5 p.m., with the running events beginning at 6. Admission is $3 for adults, $1 for students and $5 for families. If you can’t make it out to the track, you can follow online at www.theworldlink.com or on Twitter @jguntherworld or #coospreps. Before the team races are decided, individuals will be chasing a few of the county records, including one that dates back to the 1970s. North Bend’s boys have a good shot at breaking the 4x100-meter relay record of 43.94, held for 41 years by another North Bend squad. And two of the individuals on North Bend’s team, Matt
and Wyatt Woods Cunningham, will be pursuing records of their own. Woods, who has had a breakout season as a sprinter for the Bulldogs, has a shot at the 100-meter record of 11.20 set by North Bend’s Mike Forbes in 2009. Wyatt Meanwhile, Cunningham will be trying to eclipse the high jump record of 6 feet, 7 inches set by Marshfield’s Jake Horner back in 1998. In addition to the high jump, Cunningham also is favored in the 200, with Woods expected to be hot on his heels. Cunningham and Woods are only part of the reason the Bulldogs are big favorites. North Bend also has strength in the horizontal jumps with Drew Matthews and Drae Stark and the hurdles races with Stark and Cam Lucero. Throw in Alex Backman and Luke Lucero in the pole vault, where they will challenge Marshfield standout Hunter Drops, and other points in nearly every event and North Bend appears to have a big edge. Though Coquille junior Brandon Bowen likely won’t challenge the meet record set
54 years ago by Jerry Larson in the shot put — at least not this year — the Class 3A leader is the favorite in both that event and the discus. Marshfield will try for a sweep of the distance races with Colby Gillett and Sawyer Heckard and Drops is favored in both the pole vault and javelin. The only girls record that should face a serious test Friday night is in the triple jump, where Marshfield’s Adryana Chavez will try to erase Ali Worthen’s mark of 36-6 from 2006. Worthen has plenty of marks to spare even if she loses that one. The former Seattle-Pacific All-American and her sister, Leah, who starred at Oregon, either hold or share the meet records in six of the 12 individual events that don’t involve throwing implements. The team race between the Pirates and the Bulldogs could come down to the wire. Marshfield’s Shaylen Crook is a big favorite in both the 1,500 and 3,000, and has an outside shot at the meet record of 10:08.70 held by Coquille’s Holli Dieu in the longer race if conditions are perfect.

Coquille captures first baseball win THE WORLD Coquille’s baseball team got its first win of the season, blanking Myrtle Point 10-0 in five innings Wednesday. Drew Piburn pitched a threehitter with eight strikeouts and no walks and the Red Devils did not commit any errors — a first for them this season. It was a breakthrough win for the Red Devils, who weren’t able to field a team last spring and have

a bunch of players who started the season with little or no experience. “I am so proud of them for not giving up,” Coquille coach Wayne Gallagher said. “They keep just trying to improve. “Tonight it all came together. Drew threw strikes, we played defense and we hit the ball. From a coaching standpoint, it was fun to see.” Piburn, who needed just 51 pitches on the mound, also went 4-for-4 at the plate with two runs and two RBIs. Kaden Johnson and Dawson Schepp had
two runs each. The final inning was a perfect example of what Gallagher was excited about Wednesday. “We knew we were getting close to a win,” he said. Schepp and Zach Breitkreutz had singles and were moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Tommy Boyles. Piburn hit a tworun single and scored on a single by Austin Ross. “For me, it was exciting,” Gallagher said. “We’ve been talking about getting multiple hits in a row and getting the bunt down. “It was real baseball.”
The Red Devils also scored in four of their five innings at the plate, another first this year, and got five runs from the bottom three spots in the lineup. “We haven’t had any production from that part of the lineup,” Gallagher said. “That was huge.”

Blazers aim to bounce back against Spurs tonight BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press
It took all of four minutes for the playoff-tested San Antonio Spurs to deliver a message to the up-and-coming Portland Trail Blazers. Tony Parker was on the attack, the Spurs defense was swarming and it was 10-2 before the Blazers even knew what hit them. The onslaught kept coming in that first quarter, which made one thing abundantly clear to the new kids on the block from the Northwest — they’re not in Houston anymore. After feasting on the Rockets’ porous perimeter defense in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Blazers appeared to be caught off guard when they stepped up in class to face the Spurs in Game 1 of the semifinals, their first appearance beyond the first round since 2000. “That,” said Damian Lillard, Portland’s 23-year-old point

Blazers got their bearings, it was too late and the Spurs cruised to a 116-92 victory. What the Blazers learned in Game 1 is that all those uncontest-
ed 3-pointers that were there for the taking against the Rockets, all those free passes to the basket in transition that helped them erase big deficits in the blink of an eye, are going to be much harder to come by against the Spurs. San Antonio limited Portland to 37.8 percent shooting and just four 3-pointers while forcing 20 turnovers. Lillard was 6 for 15, Nicolas Batum was 3 for 12 and Wesley Matthews had a quiet 2for-6 night while spending a lot of energy chasing Parker around. “Most of the guys on our team haven’t even been in the second round and they’ve won championships,” said Aldridge, one of the most experienced Blazers who had 32 points and 14 rebounds. “They’ve been here. I think they definitely came out and they let us know how it’s going to be. I think every guy on the team understands that.” SEE BLAZERS | B2
We keep hearing talk about the need for better safety practices in football in this new era where concussions are getting the attention they deserve. The Oregon School Activities Association is actually doing something much more than talk. In truth, OSAA isn’t doing anything other ruling groups haven’t done, but the Executive Board this week voted in some new rules that will significantly impact football practice this fall and into the future. On the recommendation of OSAA’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, the Executive Board voted to alter the way daily doubles can be done. The tradition of two practices a day during the two weeks before school goes back to before my time as an athlete — volleyball teams sometimes did three-adays. But now, folSPORTS lowing the lead of other groups, including the Pac-12, teams will not be able to have daily doubles on consecutive days. That will be a big change for some programs, JOHN but is one that GUNTHER was widely expected since it was first proposed some time ago. “Our biggest concern always is student safety,” North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester said. “When we have research that shows it’s going to be safer to do it this way, I don’t think we’re doing what’s best for kids if we’re fighting what research says.” Traditionally, teams have crammed in the practices the first two weeks, especially if they had a so-called zero week game the Friday before the start of school, which became common in recent years. But starting this year, those games are no more, and teams must have three weeks of practice before their first game. “I don’t think there will be a lot of people upset about not having daily doubles, especially now that you have that extra week,” Forrester said. “Most kids are going to have two weeks of camps before then. Realistically, you are getting five weeks of conditioning before you ever play a game.” In exchange for the lack of zero week games, teams do have the option of playing in a jamboree at the conclusion of the second week of practice, which was common two decades ago. The rule for daily doubles applies to all fall sports, meaning soccer, volleyball and cross country teams also won’t be able to have two practices two straight days. Another big rule applies specifically to football. Beginning the third week of practice, teams will only be able to have full contact in practices three days a week. That concept also is used at higher levels of football. “The belief is the less contact there is, the less chance there is of head injuries,” Forrester said. “That’s a hard thing to argue, especially when you have the leading medical experts in the country telling you that’s the way it is. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re heading toward less than three days of contact.” As it is, the contact rule won’t be that big an impact for some teams. “Our football programs for the past number of years have been one of the better teams in the state,” Forrester said. “We do Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday where we go full pads and Thursday is a short walkthrough and Friday we are ready to go for the game. “Football is a physical game and it’s a long season. The body just wears down after a while.” Marshfield athletic director Greg Mulkey, who played for Oregon State University and later was a coach for the Pirates, applauded the new rules. “I think three days of hard contact a week at any level is sufficient,” Mulkey said. “Anything we can do to try to lower the percentage of injuries and fatigue — when you get worn down, that’s when injuries happen. Anything we can do to prevent that is a positive.” It will take some getting used to, but the reward will be great if the serious injuries decline.

Sports Red Devils, Pacific take titles at meet THE WORLD Coquille’s boys and Pacific’s girls took the team titles in the 10-school Bandon Invitational on Tuesday. Several athletes who hope to have big nights in the Coos County Meet on Friday tuned up with good outings in the Bandon meet. Coquille’s Brandon Bowen continued his strong spring with wins in both the shot put and discus to lead the Red Devils, while Brad Romine won the long jump and was second in both the triple jump and high jump. Tristan Dixon won the pole vault for the Red Devils, who had 123 points to edge Camas Valley (121.5) for the title. Weston Tilton won the 400 and triple jump for the Hornets, who also swept the The Associated Press two relays. Rogue River had a Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook drives around Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul during the fourth quarter Wednesday.

Clippers, Pacers rebound with wins RECAP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant stood before his adoring home crowd, proudly holding his MVP trophy above his head during a pregame ceremony. He spent the next few hours showing how he earned it. Durant had 32 points, 12 re b o u n d s and nine assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Los Angeles Clippers 112-101 on Wednesday night to tie their Western Conference semifinal series at one game apiece. “We wanted to come back and respond,” Durant said. “So, I think that’s what fueled the team tonight. We just went out there and played extremely well and left it all out there, and came out with a good ‘W.”’ During his emotional MVP acceptance speech on Tuesday, Durant called teammate Russell Westbrook an MVP-caliber player.

the bench into the game. “He showed a lot of class,” Veysey said.
From Page B1 Durant’s words with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his third tripledouble in his past five playoff games. “I think Russ played harder than all of us combined,” Clippers guard Chris Paul said. “He was all over the place.” Thunder coach Scott Brooks took Durant out of the game with 1:21 remaining, costing him a shot at the triple-double. According to information provided to the Thunder by the Elias Sports Bureau, no pair of teammates has had triple-doubles in the same playoff game. Serge Ibaka and Thabo Sefolosha each scored 14 points for the Thunder, who shot 51 percent from the field and outrebounded the Clippers 52-36. “It was the perfect storm,” Clippers guard Jamal Crawford said. “They did everything they could to win, and they got everything they wanted tonight. That wasn’t the Clippers team we’ve been and I’m sure we’ll get back on track.” J.J. Redick scored 18
points, Paul had 17 points and 11 assists, and Blake Griffin added 15 points for the Clippers. Los Angeles made 15 of 29 3-pointers in Game 1, but just 9 of 27 in Game 2. The Clippers will host Game 3 Friday in Los Angeles. Durant scored 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting in the first quarter to help the Thunder take a 37-28 lead. Paul, who scored 17 points in the opening quarter of Game 1, went scoreless in the first quarter of Game 2 and watched most of the period from the bench with two fouls as the Thunder took control early. Oklahoma City got an offensive boost from an unlikely source in the third quarter — Sefolosha, a defensive stopper. He hit a mid-range jumper, then dunked after a steal by Westbrook to give the Thunder a 78-66 lead. Sefolosha dunked again, then got a steal that led to a 3pointer by Westbrook and gave Oklahoma City a 90-73 advantage. Sefolosha, who had aver-

aged just 3.7 points in the playoffs, scored 12 points in the quarter to help the Thunder take a 94-77 lead into the fourth. Clippers coach Doc Rivers said he expected Durant and Westbrook to score, but not Sefolosha. “We can win if they (Durant and Westbrook) both have good offensive games,” Rivers said. “What we can’t do is then give them that plus everything else. And I thought that’s what happened tonight.” Westbrook clinched his triple-double with 1:21 remaining when he was credited with an assist after a pass to Sefolosha, who took two dribbles on his drive to the basket. Rivers said the Thunder were the aggressors. “Every single possession, you have to have great focus and you have to be locked in, and today we were not,” he said. “I thought it was because of all the clutter today. We’re upset at the officials, we’re upset at everything instead of turning our anger on the opponent and focus. Tonight we just didn’t have it.” Pacers 86, Wizards 82: Roy Hibbert broke out of his playoff funk with a seasonbest 28 points and nine rebounds, leading Indiana over Washington to tie the Eastern Conference semifinals at 1-1. It was a stark contrast to Hibbert’s abysmal showing in Monday night’s loss — and most of this year’s playoffs. But after 48 hours of constant criticism and continual questions, Hibbert responded with the kind of game Indiana desperately needed. He made his first four shots, dominated the middle and produced big basket after big basket. Game 3 is Friday in Washington. Marcin Gortat had 21 points and Bradley Beal added 17 for the Wizards.

Pacific’s girls, meanwhile, took the team title with just two event wins. The Pirates won the 4x100 relay and Brittany Figueroa took the pole vault. Bandon’s Hannah Smith won the 100 and triple jump, while multi-talented Coquille freshman Darian Wilson won the javelin and long jump and was third in both the 200 and high hurdles. Bandon’s Aida Santoro won the 1,500 and 3,000, while teammate Sarah Cutler took the 800. Bandon’s Toni Hall won the high jump. Myrtle Point’s Nicole Seals won the shot put. Rogue River’s Keelie Worthington swept the hurdles races.
Makala Edgar had two hits and three runs, while Katie Gurney had a single and double and drove in two runs. Alaney Gallino also had two hits. Gurney combined with Tori Howard to pitch a fivehitter. Marissa Dollarhyde had a triple for the Bobcats, who had a strong fielding day with two double plays and three outs at the plate. “We thought we turned the corner,” said Myrtle Point coach Liz Andy.“It was a good game and it was a lot of fun.” Doug Veysey, who helps coach the Bobcats, was impressed that Coquille coach Darren Thompson started subbing in the third inning to get his players off
BLAZERS Bench boosted Spurs in opener From Page B1 Game 2 is tonight in San Antonio, and if the Blazers are going to make this a series, they have to regroup quickly and respond against a much better opponent than the one they faced in the first round. “The key tomorrow is just match their energy,” Parker said after practice Wednesday. “They’re going to come back and they’re going to be very motivated. The way we handle the win, that’s going to make the difference for us.” Even more encouraging for the Spurs was the return to form of a bench unit that has been one of the team’s strengths all season long. Marco Belinelli scored 11 points total in the sevengame win over the Dallas Mavericks in the first round, but contributed 19 against the Blazers.

They executed well at both ends of the court. Obviously pretty pleased with them.” The Blazers actually outscored the Spurs in the second half, which may help as they plan for Game 2. After taking the Spurs’ biggest punches in the first half and early into the third quarter, they were able to recover a bit and show they can compete. They still lost by 24 points and never threatened to get back in the game, but they were looking for any shreds of positivity they can get. “A we l c o m e to S a n Antonio,” Aldridge called it. “I think a lot of guys got taken back, but I thought guys bounced back in the second half and that shows how we’re going to be next game. I thought the second half was much better for us and I think that’s how we’ll start the game next game.”

Spieth seeks first win PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jordan Spieth is doing just about everything right this year, and it shows. He is No. 5 in the Ryder Cup standings and No. 8 in the FedEx Cup. He was runner-up at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and the Masters, and he at least put himself in the mix on the weekends at Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines and Riviera. He reached the quarterfinals in his debut at the Match Play Championship. And his star power keeps rising, mainly as the 20-year-old Texan who seems to have a chance to be the “youngest” to do everything. What gnaws at him is Spieth is missing one thing. “Plenty of chances to win, and it’s eating at me a little that I haven’t taken advantage of one of them yet,” Spieth said Wednesday on the eve of The Players Championship.“But I keep putting myself in position, and I believe that it will go my way here soon.” Get in line. Winning hasn’t been easy for anyone this year, with only Bubba Watson, Patrick Reed and Jimmy Walker winning more than once. Only three players from the top 10 in the world ranking — Watson,

North Bend, meanwhile, has the county’s top two pole vaulters in McKenzie Gauntz and Mikena Shay, as well as the best 800-meter runner in Gabby Hobson and the top 300meter hurdler in McKenzie Edwards to go along with strong depth throughout the lineup. Trying to throw a kink into the
scoring for both teams will be Coquille freshman Darian Wilson, who has the top mark in both the javelin and the long jump and also ranks well in both the high hurdles and triple jump. The county meet will be the final tuneup before next week’s district meets, when the local schools will go their separate ways as athletes try to qualify for the state meets in Eugene. Marshfield and North Bend compete in the Far West League meet at Florence next Friday and Saturday, while Bandon hosts a Class 3A district meet that also includes Coquille. Myrtle Point will be competing in a Class 2A meet at Oakland and Powers heads to Rogue River for its Class 1A district meet.
Jordan Spieth hits from a bunker on the 16th hole during a practice round for The Players championship Tuesday. Matt Kuchar and Jason Day — have won this year. The Players Championship has never really favored anyone. That might be what defines this tournament, along with the island green for the par-3 17th hole, and the fact the purse ($10 million) is the richest in golf. No one has ever won back-toback at the TPC Sawgrass, and that won’t change this year because Tiger Woods is still recovering from back surgery. Woods last played on March 9 at Doral, and since then, seven of the nine winners on the PGA Tour have been No. 90 or lower in the world ranking. What adds to the interest at Sawgrass this week is the battle for No. 1. Four players — Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson, Watson and Kuchar — have a chance to replace Woods atop the world ranking. None has ever been No. 1.
Kuchar is the long shot, needing a win and for Scott to finish well down the leaderboard. Watson would need to finish alone in second, so he considers himself a long shot, too. “My best finish is 37th,” Watson said. “So unless 37th moves me to No. 1, we probably don’t need to worry about that.” Kuchar didn’t know he could get to No. 1 until it was mentioned to him Wednesday. He thought it was cool. It’s old hat for Scott, who has had a mathematical chance to get to No. 1 for more than two months. His best chance was at Bay Hill, where he couldn’t hold a seven-shot lead on the weekend. He still cares, but it’s not at the forefront of his mind. “Look, I’m here to win golf tournaments,” Scott said. “That’s been the goal and from that you can get to No. 1 in the world if you win often enough.”

FOOTBALL Seahawks give Sherman big contract extension RENTON, Wash. — AllPro cornerback Richard Sherman has signed a fouryear contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks. Sherman announced the news on his website Wednesday ahead of a news conference called by the team. Sherman wrote that the extension is for $57.4 million with $40 million guaranteed. Sherman wrote there is no other team or city that he would want to play for. Sherman’s deal wraps up a solid offseason for the Seahawks prior to the NFL draft. Seattle re-signed defensive end Michael Bennett, reached extensions with coach Pete Carroll and All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas and has now locked up Sherman for the long term.

RUNNING Marathon winner is disqualified after race SANTA ANA, Calif. — The winner of the Orange County Marathon has been disqualified for receiving improper assistance from a cyclist who paced him and provided fluids. The Orange County Register reported that Fadil of Mohamed Albuquerque, New Mexico, was disqualified Tuesday and his race-record time of 2 hours, 21:42 minutes was thrown out. That makes Stephan Shay of Huntington Beach the winner and recipient of the $2,000 first prize. The Register said marathon officials reviewed video of Sunday’s race after a protest was issued, and found that Fadil had received aid in violation of USA Track & Field rules.
FIGURE SKATING U.S. pairs champions Castelli, Shnapir split up COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Two-time U.S. pairs champions Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, who finished ninth at the Olympics, have ended their partnership. Castelli and Shnapir helped the United States win a bronze medal in the first Olympic team event, and their top 10 placement at Sochi was considered a big step internationally. Castelli and Shnapir won their second national title in Boston — both live in the Boston area — with an emotional performance at TD Garden. They skated four programs at Sochi, an exhausting schedule, before heading to the world championships in Japan. But they struggled to an 11th-place finish at worlds even though several of the better pairs from the Olympics did not compete. Both skaters are looking to continue their careers with another partner.

Wait ends tonight for top NFL draft prospects BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jadeveon Clowney just wants it to be over already. The NFL’s first May draft gave everyone a little more time to critique the prospects and try to figure out who is going where and when. No player has been more scrutinized than Clowney, the defensive end from South Carolina whose every move — on and off the field — has been analyzed since he ended his sophomore season with a helmet-removing hit against Michigan. “I’ve been tired of it. I wish the draft was two or three weeks ago,” Clowney said Wednesday after playing flag football with grammarschool kids at the NFL’s Play 60 festival at a park on the west side of Manhattan. The Houston Texans have the first pick and Clowney could be their guy. Or maybe it’s Khalil Mack, the stud linebacker from Buffalo. Or maybe they’ll take a quarterback, such as Johnny Manziel. Or maybe they’ll trade the pick. The NFL has given fans two extra weeks to ponder these ques-
tions. The draft is usually held in April, but some scheduling conflicts at Radio City Music Hall caused the league to push it back. Commissioner Roger Goodell said it’s too soon to say whether May drafts are here to stay. This year’s draft finally gets underway tonight, Day 1 of the three-day, made-for-TV marathon. Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday night. It concludes with four rounds Saturday, when there will likely be more intrigue than usual. Missouri linebacker Michael Sam, who made public that he is gay back in February, is projected to be a possible late-round selection. The NFL has never had an openly gay player. Sam is trying to be the first, though he might have to get there as an undrafted free agent. But first, the Texans are on the clock. Will they take Clowney? “Man, I don’t know,” the 266pound pass rusher said. “Do you know?” Clowney looked NFL-ready after a spectacular sophomore season, when he had 13 sacks and was Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year. NFL rules state otherwise. Players must be three years removed from high school to be draft eligible.
Clowney’s junior season fell short of crazy expectations. He had some injuries. Opponents gameplanned to neutralize him. His play
“It’s been crazy, everybody telling when you’re going to go in the draft. What your weakness is. What your strength is. A lot of criticism against all the players. It’s just something you’ve got to take on.” Jadeveon Clowney Potential No. 1 draft pick
was spotty and his work ethic was questioned after he suddenly went to his coach and pulled himself from a game. “It’s been crazy, everybody telling when you’re going to go in
the draft,” he said. “What your weakness is. What your strength is. A lot of criticism against all the players. It’s just something you got to take on.” Clowney took it on at the combine and his pro day workout at South Carolina. He wowed scouts with the speed and agility of a running back and placed himself firmly at the top of just about every mock draft. Still, it’s not a foregone conclusion the Texans will take him. Houston needs a quarterback and new coach Bill O’Brien has said he plans to add one during this draft. Many fans in southeast Texas would like it to be Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and native Texan who played for Texas A&M. If there is one player who can relate to the scrutiny Clowney has faced, it’s Johnny Football. Manziel’s character has been questioned after having a brush with the law and another with the NCAA during his time at A&M. And he’s had his heavy-on-improvisation style dissected by scouts. He’s also a little short by NFL quarterback standards, just under 6-feet. Still, his play was so sensational he could end up as a top-five pick. “I don’t care if I’m No. 1 or 200, I
just want to play,” Manziel said. It is doubtful Manziel will have to wait that long. He could be the first quarterback off the board. Or maybe that’ll be Central Florida’s Blake Bortles. He looks the part of the classic NFL quarterback at 6-foot-5, 232 pounds. He’s nimble, too, but also a late-bloomer. Then there’s Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who many figured would challenge to be the No. 1 overall pick. He apparently slipped out of favor during the postseason draft process. Small hands, a narrow frame and an underwhelming pro day combined to make Bridgewater no sure thing to be taken in the first round. At least that’s what the so-called experts say. But who knows how seriously to take that? “You try not to pay attention to what’s being said, but at the end of the day, I’m human,” Bridgewater said. “I was off Twitter for a while because you know that’s probably the easiest way to see what’s being said about you. Stay away from the internet. Wasn’t watching ESPN, NFL Network.” All the speculation ends soon. “I’m just ready, man,” Clowney said, speaking for pretty much everybody involved.

2014 draft prospect Anthony Barr poses for a picture with a food sculpture of himself at a Subway restaurant in New York on Wednesday.
LB sculpted with sandwich supplies NEW YORK (AP) — Never use the word bust when discussing the NFL draft. Well, there are exceptions. Such as the bust that Subway restaurants commission each year when they announce their latest Famous Fan, in this case UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr. The sculpture, made entirely of vegetables that can be found on a footlong sub, got the once-over from Barr at a Manhattan Subway stop on Wednesday. The youngster, projected to go in the top 15 in Thursday night’s draft, was impressed. “It’s awesome,” Barr said. “When they first asked me about it, I said, ‘Oh yeah, that’d be cool,’ but I didn’t know what to expect. Now, I see this giant
sculpture that looks just like me made out of veggies; it is spot on. I feel like I am finally and officially a part of the family.” That would be the Subway family, not the NFL, which will happen at Radio City Music Hall about a mile from where the sculpture stood. Barr joins the likes of Ndamukong Suh, Mark Ingram, Robert Griffin III and Jarvis Jones as having the food bust created in his image. “I know using the word bust when it’s the draft brings a quizzical look,” said Tony Pace, Subway’s chief marketing officer. “If it is a bust in Canton at the Hall of Fame, that notion is a great thing. But this is a fun way to highlight our ingredients and our product. And it’s out of the ordinary.”
The sculptor, Jim Victor of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, got Barr’s face down so accurately that even his mustache and stubble (made of black olives, it appears) look real. Two large green peppers near the shoulder blades give the impression of a jersey. Which jersey Barr will be wearing in the NFL is anyone’s guess. He said about a dozen teams gave him private workouts. “It was a busy month of April and I am glad that is over with,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the draft. “I feel if I am visiting a team, they do think highly of me and want me to come in and make an impact.” He’s already made an impact in the food industry.
Draft is filled with various stoylines NEW YORK (AP) — Every NFL draft is filled with intrigue. When the crop of college players has 102 early entrants, including the likes of Jadeveon Clowney and Johnny Manziel, that simply ratchets up the excitement. Here are five things to watch for in the first round Thursday night: WE’RE NO. 1: That would be the Texans, who went 2-14 last season to more than earn the first spot in the proceedings. But there’s no certainty who they will grab, or if they will stay there. General manager Rick Smith has made it clear the Texans have listened to offers for the first pick. “If we take the first pick, we know who we want,” Smith said. “(But) we are obviously open to moving out of the first pick, if in fact there is an opportunity for us to do so and if we think that is in the best interest of the organization.” Teams that could be interested in jumping up to the top, presumably to select South Carolina star defensive end Clowney, are Atlanta, Tampa Bay and even Dallas,
which needs lots of work on its defense. GOING DEEP: Many analysts have dubbed this the best draft for wide receivers in years, perhaps ever. The consensus top guy is Clemson’s Sammy Watkins, followed by Mike Evans of Texas A&M, Brandin Cooks of Oregon State, Odell Beckham Jr., of LSU, Marqise Lee of Southern California, and Kelvin Benjamin of national champion Florida State. Watkins is projected to go in the first five picks, unusually high for a wideout. “I think what sets Sammy apart is his sincerity and passion for the game,” ESPN analyst and 2003 Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden said last week. “Everyone I’ve talked to has come away very impressed with Watkins’ passion to be great and to put forth a tremendous work ethic.” QB CLASS: No one is comparing this to the 2012 class that produced Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. Still, there’s talk four quarterbacks could go in the opening round.
There’s also some thought that only two, Texas A&M’s Manziel and Central Florida’s Blake Bortles, will be taken Thursday night. The other highly rated quarterbacks to watch for are Teddy Louisville’s Bridgewater, Fresno State’s Derek Carr, and two late risers: Georgia’s Aaron Murray and Pittsburgh’s Tom Savage. Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, has lots of boom or bust in him. Nobody can deny he is a bigtime playmaker, though. “When you’re dealing with a high-profile position like the quarterback, obviously there’s some well-documented things to cover and to consider,” Gruden said. “Manziel brings a lot of excitement and interest to your organization. Maybe some people don’t want to be part of it. That will be up to them.” IN THE TRENCHES: No fewer than a dozen guys who play on either the offensive or defensive line figure to go Thursday. They range from the NFL-ready tackle Jake Matthews of Texas A&M, whose dad, Bruce, is in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, to UCLA guard Xavier Su’a Filo on offense. On defense, look for Pittsburgh tackle Aaron Donald and Notre Dame nose tackle Louis Nix III. It’s possible that the first three players chosen all will do their work in the trenches: Clowney, Buffalo DE-LB Khalil Mack, and Auburn tackle Greg Robinson. LESSER KNOWNS: Some players from smaller schools to watch out for, if not in the first round then certainly in the second: LB-DE Khalil Mack, Buffalo — A certain high pick who can disrupt any offense with his pass-rushing skills and is no slouch against the run. S Jimmie Ward, Northern Illinois — Hits a ton and had an impressive Senior Bowl. But he comes off foot surgery. QB Jimmy Garappolo, Eastern Illinois — From the same school that produced Tony Romo, he’s skilled, mature and a leader. OL Joel Bitonio, Nevada — Versatile blocker who can play anywhere on the line, he has a real mean streak.
The University of Oregon isn’t allowing three basketball players to participate in team activities after a student told police they sexually assaulted her at a postgame party and later at an apartment. Police in Eugene investigated the allegations against Damyean Dotson, 19, Dominic Artis, 19, and Brandon Austin, 18. Lane County District Attorney Alex Gardner decided there was not enough evidence to prove the sex wasn’t consensual. Assistant athletic director Andy McNamara said the three players are not currently participating in any team activities. The university has refused to say why the players have been disciplined. “We are deeply concerned about information contained in the police report recently released by the Eugene Police Department,” university President Michael Gottfredson said in a statement, adding that the school “takes allegations of misconduct very seriously. The university has established internal conduct processes for handling misconduct allegations.” The police report released by the Eugene Police Department states that the players say the sex was consensual. Austin’s attorney, Laura Fine Moro, did not return calls seeking comment. No phone listings could be found for Dotson or Artis in Eugene. It was not known whether Dotson or Artis had attorneys. Citing federal privacy laws, university spokesman Tobin Klinger would not say whether an internal university investigation had been initiated, or whether the basketball players were barred from team activities because of the allegations. He did say that the woman’s father reported her allegations to the university on March 9, the day after the party where she met the players. The party was the same night the Ducks beat No. 3 Arizona in the final game of the regular season, and before they went on to the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments. Robin Holmes, university vice president for student affairs,said in general,the university “immediately” investigates all allegations of sexual assault involving students, both on campus and off. Gardner said police asked
the university not to take disciplinary action until they finished their investigation, because that gives police the best opportunity to gather evidence. The Student Athlete Code of Conduct requires athletes “to conduct themselves as responsible citizens,” and “in a manner that brings respect to the University of Oregon and its athletic teams.” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said the university was handling the situation appropriately. “I’ve been monitoring it very closely,” Scott told The Associated Press while attending Pac-12 meetings in Phoenix on Wednesday. “I’ve been in touch with the university, certainly feel that they’re handling it with appropriate seriousness and handling it the right way.” Police did not release the victim’s age, but the police report says she is a female college student and is under the age of 21. In a three-page statement detailing his reasoning for not bringing charges, Gardner notes the focus of the determination was not on whether the sex took place, but whether the woman had consented or was too drunk to consent. Based on interviews with the woman, her friends, the players, and recordings of telephone calls the woman made to the players afterward, there was no evidence she was substantially impaired when she entered a bathroom where the first two sexual encounters happened, Gardner wrote. For Austin, it’s the second sexual assault allegation he has faced. While at Providence College, he and another Providence player were accused last year of sexually assaulting a female student on campus. The two were suspended and Austin subsequently transferred to Oregon. He had to sit out a calendar year under NCAA transfer rules. Amy Kempe, a spokeswoman for the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, said that case remains under investigation. If the three players were to leave the team, Oregon will have lost a dozen players from a program that went 24-10 in 2013-14 and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the second straight season. Seven seniors and two transfers have already left the team since its season-ending loss to Wisconsin on March 22.
Agassi: Nadal is best ever SINGAPORE (AP) — Andre Agassi says Rafael Nadal should be considered the greatest tennis player ever, not Roger Federer. Agassi made the comments in an interview with Singapore newspaper Straits T imes, saying Nadal’s
achievements are more impressive because he has had to deal with tougher opponents. Federer has 17 Grand Slam titles to Nadal’s 13, although the Spaniard leads his Swiss rival 23-10 in head-to-head meetings.

BRIDGE Rupert Murdoch said, “The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.” Not necessarily at the bridge table, though. Sometimes, for example, drawing trumps early will lose a contract. And, of course, occasionally not drawing trumps soon enough can be fatal. Which applies in this deal? South is in four spades, and West leads the heart king. Note North’s four-spade rebid. It promises at least four-card support
and denies a first- or second-round control. South is implying that he has (at least) nine winners when he opens two clubs and rebids two spades. North hopes that his trumps will provide a 10th trick. (Yes, South’s hand is a minimum. Some experts would rebid two no-trump to limit the hand. But that would not work well here, because North would surely pass, and the contract would fail.) Given that the trumps are 3-1, South has five losers: one spade, one heart, one diamond and two clubs.The black-suit losers are unavoidable, so declarer must ruff his low red-suit cards in the dummy. The right play is to win the first trick, to cash exactly one top trump, then to play off the three top diamonds, discarding dummy’s remaining heart. Next, South ruffs the heart seven in the dummy, returns to his hand with a trump, and ruffs his diamond five — mission accomplished. Note that if declarer begins with both of his top trumps, he will be stranded in the dummy after the first ruff. West can get in with his club ace and draw dummy’s last trump, leaving South with a fourth loser.

FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2014 Study and learning will provide you with lots of ideas. An intellectual outlook will improve your chances of snagging a leadership role. Intimate dealings with family, friends or neighbors will lead to an ideal partnership. Check out different philosophies and alter your life to suit your needs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Social engagements will play a major role in your life if you let them. Make a fresh start. It’s a good time to enhance your appearance and improve your image. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You have to meet any obligations you’ve made to family members before you help outsiders. Confrontations can be avoided by living up to past promises. Do what’s right. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Let someone else do the talking while you sit on the sidelines. You will learn valuable information by closely listening to people with experience. Use the information you receive to get ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if you feel like slacking off, push yourself to get things done. Moneymaking opportunities are apparent, but you must keep your career as a top priority. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t get caught up in an unfortunate battle of wills. Get all the information first and wait to take action. Time is on your side, and you don’t
need to make hasty mistakes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t allow anyone to put you down. Your good judgment and sound decisions have served you well in the past, so continue doing what you’re doing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Avoid joint ventures. Reviewing your financial documents will help to alleviate any confusion you may have regarding investments and money matters. Improve your personal surroundings and relationships.

Romance is on the rise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Risky financial ventures will be your downfall. Your desire to help those less fortunate is admirable, but keep an eye on your pocketbook. Investigate an organization carefully before making a donation. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Relationships should be your focus. Pay extra attention to the way you present who you are and what your life goals are. Sharing common aims will bring you closer to someone special. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You are on a fast track to completing a multitude of different tasks. Others will be hard-pressed to keep up, but if you maintain control, they will enthusiastically align with you.
