Tasty welcome for cheese fans

BY THOMAS MORIARTY The World

COOS BAY — Two candidates running for the board of Southwestern Community College have distanced themselves from a political action committee backing their campaigns — even though a filing with the Oregon Secretary of State’s office lists them among “candidates controlling this committee.”

In separate statements to The World on Mark McKelvey Wednesday, Danny PAC treasurer Stoddard and Julie Kremers said they don’t belong to or control the Make the Change PAC, which has been distributing campaign literature on their behalf.

BANDON — Anticipation filled the air as more than 400 people gathered Wednesday afternoon to welcome the new Face Rock Creamery.

“This is a 14-month project, and we completed it in six months and 15 days,” said Daniel Graham, construction supervisor and vice president. Graham listed and thanked all the local contractors who were hired for the project.

The Bandon Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting, and the creamery treated visitors to food outside the facility as well as cheese samples inside. People tasted fresh “squeaky” cheese curds in multiple styles: plain and spicy three pepper, Face Rock Monterey Jack, In Your Face cheddar, spicy three-pepper cheddar, Vampire Slayer garlic cheddar and a special “Grand Opening cheddar.” High-end cultured butter will be available soon.

Face Rock Creamery 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday 680 Second St. S.E. on U.S. Highway 101 in Bandon

Creamery President Greg Drobot praised the facility and cheese maker Brad Sinko.

“We tried to get the best facility to make the best cheese, and I think we have one of the best cheese makers, if not the best, here,” Drobot said. “Bandon cheese is going to be known as some of the best cheese in the world.”

Drobot added that the creamery wouldn’t be in Bandon without the support of many people and the encouragement of the public.

“It was a lot of work — it’s been over two years in the making and with a lot of ups and downs,” he said.

Drobot used his own and private money to finance the $2.2 million, 8,000-square-foot facility. The city is the creamery’s landlord

and paid to build public restrooms nextdoor.

Drobot said he was able to fund the venture because of loans from Craft3, the Port of Bandon Economic Development Fund, the Oregon Business Development Fund and Coos Curry Douglas Development Corp.

“There was a lot of teamwork to get this together,” he said.

Mayor Mary Schamehorn agreed.

“It was a great public-private partnership between Greg and the city’s urban renewal agency,” Schamehorn said. “I think it’s going to be a big boost for Bandon.”

Cheese production, once famous in Bandon, halted in 2000, a couple of years after the Tillamook County Creamery Association bought the former factory. The building was demolished in 2002.

Two years ago, the city bought the lot from Tillamook using urban renewal money with the idea they could attract a developer to SEE CHEESE | A8

Wildland firefighters with Coos Forest Protective Association worked to control a large brush fire that started Wednesday afternoon off Rosa Road in Bandon.

BANDON — Wildland firefighters had their hands full battling a two-acre blaze near Bandon on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire broke out sometime around 2 p.m. on Chandler Road south of Bandon. A plume of smoke was visible from Rosa Road in town.

The Coos Forest Protective Association dispatched multiple engines, tanker trucks and at least two bulldozers to contain the blaze.

CFPA Unit Forester Nils Storkeson said firefighters had the blaze mostly under control by 4:15 p.m.

The fire is one of several that have broken out on Coos County forest lands in the past month.

Oregon Department of Forestry Fire Prevention Coordinator Tom Fields said last week that a lack of moisture and elevated temperatures are contributing to an earlier-thananticipated fire season.

COQUILLE — Coos County’s maintenance director says the county needs a new courthouse — but for now he’ll settle for a steam line.

County leaders tentatively approved the maintenance department’s $589,500 budget for building projects on Wednesday. It includes $77,500 for the steam line and $95,000 to remove an underground fuel tank and

repave the parking lot at the county’s North Bend annex.

Those are the most important projects on the 2013-2014 list, Maintenance Director Ken Gross said. The budget is down from the previous year’s $692,805.

The list includes tearing down the old prisoner compound at the North Bend annex for $5,000. Other items on the list include a $100,000 generator for the Owen Building and a $95,000 wheelchair ramp at the North Bend annex.

A new courthouse is Gross’s long-term dream.

Meanwhile, he hopes to complete some important renovations in the next few years, such as a $100,000

paint job and a $250,000 project to replace singlepane windows.

Gross mentioned he was worried about the safety of workers at the North Bend annex.

“I’m concerned about some bum hiding out in the bathroom,” he said. The building houses the mental health and probation departments, and it’s open to the public at night for meetings without security. The homeless people nearby like to stay in the building, especially in bad weather, Gross said.

“We need to make sure the doors are locked at night,” he said.

McKeown joins Small Business Task Force SALEM — Rep. Caddy McKeown, D-Coos Bay, plans to use her latest Oregon House appointment to help create coastal jobs.

House Speaker Tina Kotek named McKeown to the Small Business Task Force on Wednesday, according to a news release from McKeown’s office.

The task force’s priorities include improving existing small-business legislation and generating ideas for legislation in the 2014 session.

Opinion theworldlink.com/opinion

Two senators fight for transparency Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, have delivered on their promise to propose legislation that requires fuller disclosure of campaign contributions.

Last month the senators formally introduced their “Follow the Money Act,” which would require any organization spending $10,000 or more on electoral activity to register and disclose contributions above $1,000. The bill also would put in place a system of real-time disclosure, and it would require regulations that plug the legal loopholes that have allowed dark-money campaign operations to quickly gain a formidable foothold on the elections landscape.

Murkowski and Wyden deserve credit for putting forward a bipartisan proposal, but they face an uphill climb. Their proposal already has come under fire by opponents of campaign finance regulation.

Cleta Mitchell, chairwoman of the American Conservative Union Foundation, said in a

statement: “When liberals talk about ‘transparency,’ that isn’t what they mean. What they really want and what this bill provides is a target list of conservatives who have the temerity to contribute their after-tax dollars to support candidates and issues the left hates.”

No, what Murkowski — whom no one could reasonably call a liberal —and Wyden want is transparency that reveals the growing mob of unrestricted and unidentified donors who make cruel mockery of American politics.

Oregon must face PERS reform reality Oregon’s elected officials are running out of time to address the core problem facing local government and Oregon taxpayers: the cost and sustainability of the Public Employee Retirement System.

PERS reform and the state budget will be hammered out by legislative heads from both par-

Oregon Views Oregon Views offers edited excerpts of newspaper editorials from around the state.

To see the full text, go to theworldlink.com/opinion. ties. Needed are equal amounts of compromise and adult leadership, both of which are in short supply in Salem.

True reform of PERS would: ■ Recognize that Oregon’s state pension system is in deep trouble. Its future costs are disproportionate to the size of the state economy compared with other states.

■ Rebuff attempts to raise taxes without clear-eyed strategies to

significantly reduce future costs.

■ Reject calls to increase levels of contributions from cities, counties and school districts.

That is money they don’t have.

■ Avoid accounting tricks and unrealistic assumptions on investment returns. Those only put more strain on an unstable system.

With adjournment only eight weeks away and public employee union leaders threatening lawsuits, legislators will be tempted to delay reform for another day.

But you can’t wish this problem away.

Film investment pays off richly If you’ve watched “Portlandia” or “Grimm” in the past couple of years, you’ve seen the value of the Oregon Production Investment Fund, which reimburses filmmakers, television productions and

others in those industries for some of the cost of doing business here.

The fund is largely filled with money from donors who receive tax credits for their generosity.

Now Gov. John K itzhaber wants to double the $6 million fund and expand the businesses eligible to collect from it. Like tax credits or not, this is one that has paid off for Oregonians. Those supporting House Bill 2267 note that for their $6 million in lost tax revenues in 2011, the projects eligible to collect payments from the fund spent some $110 million in the state.

Incentives are the name of the game these days for everything from data centers to movie companies. Without them, film producers tell state officials they’ll go somewhere else.

Incentives are offered in about 40 states, Puerto Rico and Canada.The cost of those offered through the Oregon Production Investment Fund is low, while the payout is high. HB 2267 should be approved.

Spotty training My wife and I forgot to have children. We are so busy going to movies, plays and concerts, buying nice things for the house, taking long vacations without looking at a school calendar, reading all the latest bestsellers and going to restaurants with nice white tablecloths that it simply slipped our minds. You know how it is: You get busy, and suddenly think, “Boy, I wish I had to pay $50,000 a year to put some 18-year-old who thinks I’m an idiot through college.”

Of course, the downside of not having children is that I feel left out when friends with children discuss timeouts, play dates, family therapy and joint custody.

I sit silent while the discussion goes on and on about the pros and cons of one model of breast pump over another. As much as I JIM would like to, I have nothMULLEN ing to contribute. The group wants to hear that Humorist my mother had eight children without the benefit of a breast pump — or Ritalin, ADHD or peanut allergies — like they want to hear I’ve volunteered to spank out-of-control kids in grocery stores.

The underlying message in all this seems to be that raising a child is hard, painful, demanding, unending, exhausting work. You’d think modern parents would be looking for tips to make life easier, not harder. Which is why I found the news of the latest parenting trend, Elimination Communication, so stunning.

Elimination Communication, called E.C. by parents enamored of it, is a growing cult that worships diaper-free potty-training.

They try to figure out from Baby’s coos and ahs which ones mean “I love you” and which ones mean “Look out below!” Because as a new parent, you don’t have enough to do.

But you will have enough doo-doo.

I heard about this from Jackson, a new grandad.

“You mean they really let the kid run around the house buck-nekkid?”

“Not in my house,” he said, “but they do at their house. When they think the kid is ready to go, they hold him over the toilet, or over bowls they have set up all over the house.”

“Bowls? Remind me not to have soup at their house. Whose crazy idea was this?”

“No, their doula tells them kids go without diapers in Third World countries all the time.”

“Their what?”

“Their doula. It’s a woman who is there to comfort the mother. It’s not really medical or a midwife, but a companion.”

“I understand,” I said. “I think the English word for that is ‘friend’ or ‘family.’

They don’t know anything about medicine, either, they’re just there to give you crazy child-rearing advice.”

“My daughter-in-law doesn’t seem to have any friends, and she doesn’t get along with her family. Ergo, the doula.”

“What other Third World ideas are she and her doula planning to borrow?” I asked.

“Or is it just the no-diapers thing?”

“The doula says it keeps diapers out of landfills.”

“Really? I’ve been to the landfill, and what you see are a lot of old computers, printers and CD players stacked up to the sky. And washing machines and refrigerators, and a lot of construction debris from people who have remodeled their houses to put in nurseries. But I have never seen a diaper there. Maybe because, unlike the computers, they decompose. Still, there’s a easier way to keep diapers out of landfills: Forget to have children.”

Public Forum Harsh words flow in two directions I read an amusing letter to the editor today. A contributor, Sharon Ramirez, was taking another contributor to task for his use of inflammatory language. Quotes from the original letter by Daniel Cook were scattered throughout Sharon’s contribution, and indeed Daniel was using fairly harsh terms to describe how he felt.

What I found amusing was how harsh Sharon’s words were.

I am fairly sure calling gun owners “little boys” and demanding that they “grow up” is in the category of inflammatory speech, and not a well-reasoned argument designed to convince the other person of their folly. I wonder if Sharon can see this?

It does not matter if it comes from the left or the right — toning down the rhetoric is not something that seems to be sought. Ratchet it up, yell louder, be more aggressive with the means you use to be heard; that’s what works. I am reminded of the 1960s and seeing a man holding a sign that read, “Peace Now,” using it to beat another person on the head.

Democratic Party doesn’t run PAC As chairperson the Coos County Democrats, I am disappointed that The World did not contact me or the Democratic Party of Oregon related to the story, “Dem PAC targets college

board.”

The Make the Change PAC is not endorsed or funded by the Coos County Democrats or the DPO. It is an independent PAC. Any Democrat running for any office in Coos County including nonpartisan races can seek the endorsement of the local party. We received requests from five candidates running for the SOCC board including David Bridgham. The local party endorsed three of the candidates. We did not make an endorsement in the race between Mr. Bridgham and Ms. Menkens as we felt both candidates were well-qualified.

Candidates can request access to Democratic Party’s Voter Activation Network database. All five candidates requested access and received it.

Live free or move million Forty-three Americans moved from one state to another between 1995 and 2010 — about one-seventh of Americans.

It’s good that we can move!

Moving provides one of the few limits on the megalomania of state bureaucrats.

Americans have moved away from high-taxed, heavily regulated states to lower-taxed, less-regulated states. Most don’t think of it as a political decision. They just go where opportunities are, and that usually means where there’s less government.

They’re leaving my state, New York, in droves. California, despite its great weather, also lost people, and wealth. Other biggest losers were Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio.

Travis Brown, author of “Money Walks,” tracked the movements using IRS data. On my TV show, he revealed that Florida was the state that gained the most: “You’re seeing a massive amount of people and their income coming in: $86 billion.”

People move where jobs are, and the states gaining the most — which also include North

But people don’t just vote at the ballot box or by their choice of newspaper subscriptions.

They vote with their feet. And by that measure, the state that publishes Krugman’s columns — New York — and the state where he’s a college professor — New Jersey — are losing big-time.

Ironically, one reason Texas continues to have problems with poverty, despite its population growth, is that people don’t just move between states.

They also move from other countries in search of opportunity. For about a million people, that meant moving across the border from Mexico to Texas.

They start low on the economic ladder but do tend to move upward over time.

For some reason, politicians most sympathetic to those immigrants are clueless about why U.S. citizens move from state to state.

Let people live where they can be free, and get rich.

State Cellphone snoop suspects friend of having an affair

Energy company drops Columbia River coal terminal

D E A R A B B Y : I have a friend who I believe is having an affair. I have no concrete evidence, only a slew of circumstantial evidence such as odd work hours, blocks of mystery time set aside at night in his cellphone’s day planner, and evading questions about texts from females.

I have no idea how to approach him, or if I even should. I wouldn’t know how to begin the conversation with him because I have no solid proof.

I always DEAR considered him to be a d e c e n t individual, but in the back of my mind now I’m thinking, “He’s cheating on his wife!”

JEANNE h a t PHILLIPS W makes me uneasy is that it’s all based on my hunch. I’m usually pretty good with my hunches, though.

Any words of wisdom would be welcome. — NICK IN NEW ENGLAND DEAR NICK: What are you doing going through your friend’s cellphone day planner and reading his texts? He doesn’t have to account to you for his time. For all you know the man may be in a 12step program or a therapy group. If he wanted you to know what he’s doing, he would tell you. Right now the “friendliest” thing you can do is mind your own business.

D E A R A B B Y : I have worked at my job almost 10 years. Most of the owners are nice, and the staff is great. I like my job most days.

I had a really bad week recently. I felt like I couldn’t do anything right. The week ended with a really angry text from my boss. He was right. I was in the wrong, and I apologized. He sent me another text, still angry, and my whole weekend was ruined by it. I kept thinking how mad he was, and how in a few days, I’d start my week in the doghouse.

I can’t figure out how not to take work home with me.

Also, I can’t help but think he was wrong using a text as a means of discussing the issue. I don’t want to make him angrier. How do I confront this issue? — STILL UPSET IN OREGON DEAR STILL UPSET: It would have been much better management if your boss had talked with you face to face about what was wrong with your performance. By now, your boss should have cooled off, and I suggest that you have a private chat with him and say that if he has a bone to pick with you, you would prefer to hear it from his lips rather than have it communicated in a text, which was hurtful.

D E A R A B B Y : After my best friend of more than 20 years, I’ll call him Tim, told me his wife had cheated on him, I confessed that I am in love with him. His response floored me. Tim announced that he has been in love with me all this time and can imagine growing old with only me.

A friend told me I’m committing adultery with Tim because he is now in the process of leaving his cheating wife for me. Am I? We haven’t been intimate, nor do we plan to sleep with each other until the divorce is final.

I have loved Tim far longer than she has been in the picture, and I feel this is a chance for happiness that fate has offered us and we are meant to grow old together.

Are we wrong to pursue a relationship? — CONFLICTED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CONFLICTED: If Tim has been in love with you all these years, he couldn’t have had much of a marriage.

His wife’s infidelity was his “get out of jail” ticket and he took it. I don’t know what your “friend’s” definition of adultery is, but according to Webster’s dictionary, you’re not committing it.

PORTLAND(AP) — An energy company has dropped plans for a coal export terminal downstream of Portland along the Columbia River and will look for another site in the Northwest, a spokesman said Wednesday.

K inder Morgan Inc. decided not to seek permits at the Port of St. Helens industrial park because of the site’s logistics, not because the debate over coal exports from the Pacific Northwest to Asia, said spokesman Allen Fore.

“We looked at multiple options and different footprints, but we couldn’t find one compatible with the facility we wanted to construct,” Fore told The Oregonian newspaper.

The decision leaves three other coal export proposals still under consideration in the Northwest: near Bellingham and at Longview in Washington and at Boardman in Oregon.

Two partners recently dropped out of a coal export proposal at Coos Bay along the Oregon coast, and a pro-

A state Senate committee has heard testimony on a bill that’s reviving the debate over whether people should be allowed to sit or lie on Portland's sidewalks.A judge four years ago nullified Portland’s “sit-lie”ordinance, saying it conflicted with state law.

Bill revives debate over Portland’s ‘sit-lie’ law

BY STEVEN DUBOIS The Associated Press

PORTLAND — It’s a scene familiar to anyone who spends time on downtown Portland sidewalks: Young panhandlers, dogs and camping gear by their side, asking for money to buy food, beer, bus fare or a place to spend the night.

Most of the time, they’re polite. Occasionally, however, they can be disconcertingly aggressive for suburban shoppers unaccustomed to dodging the spare-change seekers.

The Portland Business Alliance, which aims to make downtown a hassle-free place to shop, is pushing the Oregon Legislature to give cities more freedom to pass tougher sidewalk ordinances. The state House overwhelmingly passed such a bill last month and a state Senate committee heard testimony on it Wednesday.

The city of Portland tried to make sidewalks easier to navigate by approving a “sitlie” ordinance that banned people from sitting or lying on the sidewalk between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. But a judge

nixed it in 2009, saying it conflicted with state law and was unconstitutional.

“Portland, Seattle, San Francisco attract a group of individuals who refuse services, panhandle aggressively, sometimes have dogs with them, and create an environment that is intimidating for customers and is frustrating for business owners,” said Megan Doern, business alliance spokeswoman. “We hear about it every day.”

At Wednesday’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, opponents said sit-lie ordinances, such as those approved in other cities, criminalize homeless people and do little to stop aggressive panhandling.

Those who testified against the bill said such ordinances are selectively enforced to target the most vulnerable residents, some of whom lack a place to stay for reasons they can’t control.

“You can’t make it illegal for people to have a mental health crisis,” said Monica Goracke, an attorney with the Oregon Law Center.

The committee hasn’t scheduled a vote. If it eventually becomes law, the

posal at Grays Harbor, Wash., was shelved.

The terminal at the Port of St. Helens would have taken up to 30 million tons of coal a year hauled by trains from mines in Wyoming and Montana. Kinder Morgan said its investment of $150 million to $200 million would have created 80 permanent jobs at terminal.

The leader of an environmental group said the company faced “tremendous regional and local opposition,” citing a turnout of opponents for a recent rezoning meeting and a resolution expressing concerns from a nearby city, Scappoose.

“To say that it’s a matter of site logistics is questionable,” said Brett VandenHeuvel, executive director of Columbia Riverkeeper.

Fore wouldn’t name other sites the company could consider.

“We’re a customer driven company,” he said, “and our customers are still looking at options in Pacific Northwest.”

alliance said it would press the City Council to revisit the sit-lie issue.

Israel Bayer, director of Street Roots, a local newspaper that advocates for homeless people, said in a phone interview that tougher laws against sitting on sidewalks would divide the community while failing to address the greater issues of poverty and homelessness. He said homeless youth along the West Coast have been demonized by pro-business groups for affecting downtown livability.

“We’re strong advocates for a healthy business climate and city, but poor people shouldn’t be specifically targeted because of their status,” Bayer said.

If the bill is approved, it’s unclear if the City Council would be ready to revisit the sit-lie controversy.

The Associated Press Spokesman Dana Haynes said Mayor Charlie Hales supports Secretary of State Kate Brown testifies at the House Rules Committee the “notion of clarity” on at the Capitol in Salem, Wednesday. Brown proposes using driver’s whether the state or city has license data to automatically register eligible voters. jurisdiction on such matters but has not taken a position on the specific bill before the legislature or whether to back the type of ordinance rejected four years ago.

PENDLETON (AP) — The Oregon Army National Guard has won federal permission to use drones from the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport at Pendleton.

The East Oregonian reports the Federal Aviation Administration has approved the Guard’s plan to fly unmanned aerial vehicles over a 100-square-mile area of mostly wheat fields north of the airport to train troops.

The Guard also flies drones from the nearby Boardman Bombing Range, and stations more than 20 troops in Pendleton for the training.

State prison inmate walks from work crew MADRAS (AP) — Authorities say a state prison inmate walked away from a work crew in Central Oregon, and a search failed to find him.

The Bulletin newspaper in Bend reports he was 36year-old Jason Michael Donaldson.

He was among 20 inmates from the Deer Ridge Correctional Institution in Madras working on a project to reduce wildfire fuels at a trailhead near Bend.

He was reported missing late Tuesday afternoon.

Deschutes County deputies say dogs and a plane were used in a search.

Bill would give break to some teen sex offenders SALEM (AP) — The Oregon House has advanced a bill that would allow some teenagers convicted of having sex with underage partners to erase the crime from

their records.

The bill passed in a narrow 31 to 27 vote on Wednesday. It now goes to the Senate.

The bill would apply to people convicted in their teen years of sex crimes that did not involve coercion or force, and who have completed all required courtordered programs and treatments, among other conditions.

Proponents say the punishment for such sex offenders does not fit the crime.

Opponents say people convicted of sex crimes often reoffend and for this reason should not be able to have their records expunged.

Expect traffic delays at Mount Hood today MOUNT HOOD (AP) — The Oregon Department of Transportation says drivers should expect traffic delays and a big boom today on U.S. 26 on Mount Hood.

Crews will use explosives to remove a cedar tree threatening the roadway near the Tollgate Trailhead.

The blasting is planned for the morning, but travelers should expect traffic delays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

SALEM (AP) — Oregon’s chief elections official wants almost everyone with a driver’s license to be automatically registered to vote.

The plan, proposed by Democratic Secretary of State Kate Brown, would significantly redesign Oregon’s voter-registration practices and potentially add hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters to the state.

Combined with Oregon’s all-mail elections, the bill would mean that most adult state residents would automatically get a ballot in their mailbox. Republicans have reacted with caution, saying they’re concerned about the potential for fraud.

The House Rules Committee heard public testimony on Brown’s proposal Wednesday but did not decide whether to advance it.

“Voting is a right and a power afforded every eligible citizen in this state,” Brown told the committee. “The purpose of registration is to identify eligible people, not to exclude them.”

last three elections, Brown said.

The debate comes amid a fierce disagreement between activists in both parties over the mechanics of voting — how a ballot is cast, and how much proof of identity should be required.

Democrats worry that strict registration and identification requirements disenfranchise voters, particularly young, old and lowincome voters who may have more trouble providing proof of their identity and address.

Republicans fear that lax restrictions would make it easier for someone to illegally cast a ballot.

The measure would require the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division to send names, ages, addresses, citizenship details and digital signatures to the Secretary of State’s Office, the state agency in charge of elections. People who meet the legal requirements to vote would be registered if they aren’t already, and they’d receive a letter with instructions to cancel their registration or join a political party if they wished to do so.

Cleveland man arraigned on rape, kidnap charges CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland man was arraigned today on charges of rape and kidnapping after three women missing for about a decade and one of their young daughters were found alive at his home earlier in the week.

Ariel Castro looked down at the ground for almost the entire court proceeding, biting his collar and signing documents with his handcuffed hands. He didn’t speak. Bond was set at $8 million.

The women found alive after a decade in captivity endured lonely, dark lives inside a dingy home where they were raped and allowed outside only a handful of times in disguises while walking to a garage steps away, investigators say.

The 52-year-old former school bus driver has emerged as the lone suspect.

While many questions remain about how Castro maintained such tight control over the women for so many years before one of

them made a daring escape Monday, the horrors they suffered are beginning to come to light.

Police say the women were apparently bound by ropes and chains at times and were kept in different rooms. They suffered prolonged sexual and psychological abuse and had miscarriages, according to a city councilman.

Castro has been charged with four counts of kidnapping — covering the captives and the daughter born to one of them — and three counts of rape, against all three women.

The women and Castro have given lengthy statements to police that have helped build their case, said Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba.

None of the women, though, gave them any indication that Castro’s two older brothers, who’ve been in custody since Monday, were involved, Tomba said.

Prosecutors brought no charges against the brothers, citing a lack of evidence.

CHICAGO (AP) — When Michael Gore stands, it’s a triumph of science and engineering. Eleven years ago, Gore was paralyzed from the waist down in a workplace accident, yet he rises from his wheelchair to his full 6-foot-2-inches and walks across the room with help from a lightweight wearable robot.

The technology has many nicknames. Besides “wearable robot,” the inventions also are called “electronic legs” or “powered exoskeletons.” This version, called Indego, is among several competing products being used and tested in U.S. rehab hospitals that hold promise not only for people such as Gore with spinal injuries, but also those recovering from strokes or afflicted with multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

Still at least a year away from the market, the 27pound Indego is the lightest of the powered exoskeletons.

It snaps together from pieces that fit into a backpack. The goal is for the user to be able to carry it on a wheelchair,

put it together, strap it on and walk independently.

None of the products, including the Indego, are yet approved by federal regulators for personal use, meaning they must be used under the supervision of a physical therapist.

Gore, 42, of Whiteville, N.C., demonstrated the device this week at the American Spinal Injury Association meeting in Chicago, successfully negotiating a noisy, crowded hallway of medical professionals and people with spinal injuries in wheelchairs.

When he leans forward, the device takes a first step.

When he tilts from side to side, it walks. When Gore wants to stop, he leans back and the robotic leg braces come to a halt. Gore uses forearm crutches for balance. A battery in the hip piece powers the motors in the robotic legs.

“Being able to speak with you eye-to-eye is just a big emotional boost,” Gore said to a reporter. “Being able to walk up to you and say hello is not a big thing until you cannot do it.”

High hospital bills go public, but will it help?

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, the government is publicly revealing how much hospitals charge, and the differences are astounding: Some bill tens of thousands of dollars more than others for the same treatment, even within the same city.

W hy d o e s a jo i n t replacement cost 40 times as much at one hospital as at another across the country? It’s a mystery, federal

health officials say.

“It doesn’t make sense,” Jonathan Blum, Medicare deputy administrator, said Wednesday. The higher charges don’t reflect better care, he said.

And the amounts are too huge to be explained by obvious differences among hospitals, such as a more expensive regional economy, older or sicker patients, or the extra costs of running a teaching hospital, he said.

The average charges for joint replacement range from about $5,300 at an Ada, Okla., hospital to $223,000 in Monterey Park, Calif., the Department of Health and Human Services said. That doesn’t include doctors’ fees.

Hospitals within the same city also vary greatly. At Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, the average charge to treat a blood clot in a lung is $51,580. Down the street at NYU Hospitals Center, the charge for the same care would be $29,869.

At the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, the list price is $16,861.

That isn’t necessarily what you pay.

Medicare pays hospitals on its own fee schedule that isn’t based on the listed charges, Blum said. And insurance companies routinely negotiate discount rates with the hospitals.

But patients who are uninsured can be billed the full amount. And some with private insurance may find their share of the bill is inflated as a result of a hospital’s higher charges, officials said.

Blum said the Obama administration hopes that releasing the information, at the website www.cms.gov, will help lead to answers to the riddle of hospital pricing — and pressure some hospitals to lower their charges.

The database also will help consumers shop around, he said.

The variations shouldn’t be a surprise, since hospitals might violate antitrust regulations if they shared “proposed or negotiated rates” with each other, said Rich Umbdenstock, president of the American Hospital Association. Forty states do require or encourage hospitals to make some payment information publicly available, he said.

Consumer advocates said making the charges public is significant, even if most patients don’t pay those rates.

WORLD Afghan president says U.S. D I G E S T

wants to keep nine bases

Bangladesh fire kills 8; collapse toll hits 930 DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A fire in an 11-story garment factory in Bangladesh killed eight people, including a ruling party politician and a top official in the country’s powerful clothing manufacturers’ trade group, as the death toll from the collapse of another garment factory building passed 900 today.

The fire Wednesday night engulfed the lower floors of the Tung Hai Sweater Ltd. factory — which had closed for the day. The blaze, fed by huge piles of acrylic products used to make sweaters, produced immense amounts of smoke.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. wants to keep nine bases in Afghanistan after American combat troops withdraw in 2014 and the Afghan government will let them as long as it gets “security and economic guarantees,” President Hamid Karzai said today in his first public offer in talks about the future relationship between the two uneasy allies.

The Afghan government would have to approve any such decision, but months of negotiations over a bilateral security agreement have been troubled with disagreements over handing over detainees and anger over alleged misbehavior by American troops.

Karzai has made many statements about the issue but gave his first specific statement about bases at a ceremony at Kabul University.

“We are giving the bases, nine bases they want from Afghanistan in all of Afghanistan,” he said.

Israel moving ahead with new settler housing tlement supporters and opponents claimed that Israel had quietly halted issuing tenders for new settlement construction in recent months, in an apparent bid to bolster Kerry’s diplomacy.

West Bank settlement construction lies at the heart of the current impasse in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The Palestinians refuse to resume talks with Israel as long as it continues to build in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, lands they claim as part of a future state, along with the Gaza Strip.

Israel captured the territories in the 1967 Mideast war.

The Beit El construction is part of an agreement on compensation offered to settlers uprooted from their homes in the unauthorized Ulpana outpost last year following a court ruling.

U.S. Embassy spokesman in Kabul, David Snepp, declined to discuss details of the agreement, citing a policy of not commenting on specifics during the ongoing negotiations.

“However, as President Obama has stated, the U.S. does not seek permanent military bases in Afghanistan. We envision that the BSA (Bilateral Strategic Agreement) will address access to and use of Afghan facilities by U.S. forces in the future,” he said.

Karzai did not refer to “existing” bases in his comments, saying only that the U.S. has requested nine bases in the country.

Coal deal stalls as firms renegotiate BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A proposed deal on a Montana coal mine that supporters said would boost Asian exports of the fuel via the West Coast has stalled, as court documents show the companies involved are renegotiating terms of the sale.

Representatives of the two companies said Wednesday that a deal still was expected.

They would not disclose what prompted the renegotiation or what the new terms could entail.

The deal announced in December involved a complex transaction in which Australiabased Ambre Energy would pay $57 million to Cloud Peak Energy for full control of the Decker mine near the Wyoming border.

The cash payment was to increase to $64 million if the deal did not close by March 31, meaning the delay potentially already has cost Ambre $7 million.

Ambre wants to ramp up

production from the oncebustling Decker mine and ship the coal to growing Asian markets through a pair of proposed ports along the Columbia River.

But the company faces stiff opposition in Oregon and Washington state, and critics have questioned whether Ambre has the financial wherewithal to see its ambitious plans to fruition.

Another coal export proposal along the Columbia — a Kinder Morgan, Inc. shipping terminal downstream of Portland — was abandoned this week, when the company said the site it selected was not compatible with its plans. Kinder Morgan said it will look for another site in the region.

Cloud Peak, one of the largest coal producers in the U.S., is seeking land and rail easements for a new Wyoming mine in the deal with Ambre.

The Wyoming-based com-

pany also would gain the option to move 5 million tons of coal annually through Ambre’s Millennium port in Longview, Wash. — part of an industrywide strategy to increase exports as domestic coal sales have faltered.

It was not clear what prompted the companies to seek an extension of a May 10 deadline they faced to settle a dispute over the Decker mine. The mine is co-owned by Cloud Peak and Ambre and has been the subject of a management quarrel that led to a lawsuit in U.S. District Court.

In a joint court filing, the companies asked to have until July 12 to finalize the deal.

“The underlying transaction is complicated and the parties are renegotiating the terms of the proposed sale due to unforeseen complications,” attorneys for the companies wrote.

The court deadline already

had been extended once, from an original date of April 1.

A Cloud Peak spokesman declined to say what parts of the deal were up for renegotiation.

Spokesman Rick Curtsinger referred to a statement in Cloud Peak’s May 1 quarterly report that said the deal would close in the first half of 2013.

Ambre spokeswoman Liz Fuller said the Australian company has “no doubt” the deal will come together in coming months, She added that the company has proven it can raise funding after coming up with money for other mine acquisitions and its two port projects.

In 2011, Ambre bought 50 percent stakes in Decker and a second mine, Wyoming’s Black Butte, that it owns with Anadarko Petroleum. Ambre last year announced a deal to supply up to 5.5 million tons of coal per year to a pair of utilities in South Korea.

build a new cheese factory.

After groundbreaking in August and construction beginning in October, Drobot announced he had hired Brad Sinko, son of former Bandon cheese factory owner Joe Sinko, as head cheese maker. The younger Sinko began his career at his father’s factory and made a name for himself at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. He has won major awards for his cheese, an accomplishment Drobot predicts will continue at Face Rock.

it is only assisting us with funding and the PAC was not created by the Democratic Party,” Kremers said.

Kremers made that denial in an email objecting to a Tuesday story in The World. The story described a group of four candidates running for the officially nonpartisan SWOCC board under the slogan, Danny Stoddard “Not our PAC” “Democrats for Education.” Campaign literature paid for by the PAC publicizes candiStoddard, dates Kremers, Holly Hall Stamper and Renee Menkens During an interview Wednesday, Stoddard also said the candidates Julie Kremers weren’t in control of the “I am not a member” PAC. “It’s not our PAC,” Stoddard said. “The primary person in charge of that is Mark McKelvey and Carla McKelvey.”

Mark McKelvey is chairman of the Coos County Democrats and host of a local radio talk show. His wife is a physician at North Bend Medical Center.

A statement of organization for the PAC, which became effective April 8, describes the organization as a “candidatecontrolled committee.” It lists the controlling candidates as Kremers, Stoddard, Stamper, Menkens and Bandon Port Commissioner Rick Goche.

The filing lists the McKelveys as the directors of the committee.Mark McKelvey is listed as the organization’s treasurer.

In a letter to The World published today, Mark McKelvey said Stamper, Stoddard and Kremers had sought and received Democratic Party endorsements.The party certified both incumbent David Bridgham and Menkens, his challenger, but it made no endorsement in that race. McKelvey had been scheduled to meet with The World on Wednesday, but he canceled the meeting and submitted the letter instead.

McKelvey said all five were offered access to the Democratic Party’s Voter Activation Network database. In an interview with The World Monday, Bridgham said he had declined because he objected to its use in a nonpartisan race.

The PAC’s biggest contributor to date is Portland lawyer Peter Hansen, the son of SWOCC founder and prominent longshoreman Henry Hansen. Hansen has made a total of $7,000 in donations to the PAC since its original registration with the state.

In the victory, Demiree Briones drove in three runs and Morgan Streeter and Jayme Simonis each scored twice.

Heading into the final games, the Lakers trail the South Region’s top two teams and can’t move up in the standings. But they can move down.

Mount Hood is 14-4 and Clackamas is 13-5. Those two teams handed the Lakers six of their eight league losses.

SWOCC is 10-8, while Lower Columbia is 9-9 and Chemeketa is 8-10.

The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s golf team is peaking just in time for its home meet and the upcoming NWAACC championships.

The Lakers won the Cardinal Classic on Monday.

SWOCC shot a season-best 302 during the final day to overtake host Skagit Valley, finishing with a two-day total of 620 to win by four shots. The Lakers also had the tournament medalist, Justin Wiles, who shot a 2-under 70 on Monday to finish the event at 142.

“This was a good win for us, the first win for the men’s golf program in the last few years,” said SWOCC coach Ray Fabien. “This should really give us a little momentum for our home tournament this weekend.”

The Lakers host their invitational at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on Sunday and Monday.

The NWAACC championships is the following weekend at Walla Walla, Wash.

SWOCC’s other individuals at Skagit Valley included Andy Clayton (153), Cole Chavez (162), Tyler Swinton (164), Trey Udy (166) and J.D. Hurd (168).

Earlier, the Lakers tied for fourth at Suncadia, finished third at the Bigfoot Invitational and finished second at Green River. Wiles was in the top five at all of those tournaments.

Fabien said he loves how the team has been playing.

“Hopefully this will kind of give us a little confidence that we have really a good golf team,” he said. “The results would definitely indicate that.”

Golden State’s Klay Thompson celebrates a basket against the San Antonio Spurs during the first half Wednesday.

Warriors hold on for rare win Golden State gets first win at San Antonio since 1997 ■

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Golden State coach Mark Jackson insisted the Warriors’ historic collapse in the opener of the Western Conference semifinals would only help his team’s growth.

The young Warriors took a big step in their development Wednesday night, withstanding another furious rally by the San Antonio Spurs for a 100-91 victory to even their series at one game apiece and snap a 30-game skid in the Alamo City.

Klay Thompson had a careerhigh 34 points and 14 rebounds, and Stephen Curry added 22 points for Golden State, which had not won in San Antonio since Feb. 14, 1997. None of the losses was as painful as the one Monday.

“I truly believe the trials and tribulations are transportation for where you’re going,” Jackson said.

“Game 1 made us better. We didn’t panic. We made plays. That’s a heck of a basketball team that’s extremely well-coached and has no quit in them. We don’t have any quit in us, either. The bottom line is we made the plays we needed to make.”

Tim Duncan scored 23 points and Tony Parker added 20 for San

Antonio, which had won five straight in the postseason. Manu Ginobili had 12 points and Kawhi Leonard had 11 points and 12 rebounds.

The Warriors blew a 16-point lead with 4 minutes left in regulation in the series opener and lost 129-127 in double overtime. No NBA team had blown such a big lead with such little time left in a playoff game.

It appeared Golden State was headed for a similar collapse Wednesday night, but the heartbreaking loss actually helped settle the players’ nerves.

“Coach told us to have amnesia at halftime,” Curry said. “We’re a young team so that might help that we can forget about it and just keep playing and having fun, not worry about that 19-point lead getting cut to six. That’s going to happen; you’re on the road against a great veteran basketball team, so you can’t get too rattled.”

Golden State led by 20 points with 8:38 left in the third quarter, but San Antonio pulled within 9789 on Ginobli’s 3-pointer with 4:23 left in the game.

But it was the closest the Spurs would come, as they missed six straight shots before Cory Joseph sank a 16-footer with 18.9 seconds remaining.

“What happened in Game 1 wasn’t about their inexperience,”

Ginobili said. “It’s one of those things that happens very rarely.

We shouldn’t have won that game.

They came out hungrier and with more determination. They just did a much better job than us.”

Thompson, who scored 29 points in the first half, finished 8 for 9 on 3-pointers and 13 for 26 overall.

“Klay was unbelievable,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “A lot of those shots were tough. Some of them were wide open because of mistakes, but other ones were difficult shots, either contested or off-balance, but he knocked them down. That’s what the playoffs are about; players have to make shots.”

The Warriors did so as a group.

Harrison Barnes had 13 points, Carl Landry added 10 and Andrew Bogut had six points and 11 rebounds.

After scoring 44 points in the opener, Curry’s total was cut in half as he shot 7 for 20 from the field.

“I thought it was polite of (Curry and Thompson) to at least take turns and not both be on fire on the same night,” Popovich said.

“Maybe the next iteration (of that) will be neither one of them will be hot in Game 3, that’s what I’m hoping.”

Marshfield’s softball team stumbled on the road Wednesday, falling 4-3 at North Eugene in a Midwestern League game.

“We didn’t play very well,” said Marshfield coach Floyd Montiel.

“We had some crucial mistakes defensively, also, that they capitalized on.”

North Eugene scored two runs in the first and two runs in the fifth and then held off the Pirates, who had two runs in the sixth, but couldn’t push the tying run across the plate.

Marshfield dropped one spot in the Class 5A power rankings to 16th, which is a significant number. If the Pirates stay in the top 16, they will host a game in the play-in round next week.

Marshfield plays one more Midwestern League game, at firstplace Churchill on Friday. The Pirates also have scheduled a nonleague game at home Tuesday against Glide.

In Wednesday’s loss, Breanne Johnson had two hits and an RBI for the Pirates and Mackenzie Vick also had two hits, but the rest of the team only had one.

“We didn’t have a lot of emotion and were sluggish at the plate,” Montiel said. “We had some crucial fumbling of the ball that would have helped us get out of some innings.”

Johnson gave up eight hits to North Eugene, but generally pitched well, the coach said.

The Pirates will have to improve on offense to have a chance against Churchill, which won a close game in Coos Bay during the first meeting of the teams.

“We need to hit,” Montiel said.

“Obviously, Breanne did enough to keep the score down the last two games. We need to score more runs than they do.”

Bandon 11, Riddle 7: The Tigers won their home finale in a game that featured good offense

by Bandon and an act of great sportsmanship by Riddle.

Riddle scored six runs to tie the game in the sixth inning before Bandon went back in front with four runs of its own.

Cheyenne Young continued to swing a hot bat with a triple, double and two singles for the Tigers.

Savannah Williams had a single and a two-run double.

Bandon’s Amy Schoonmaker gave up eight hits, but also struck out a season-high 11 batters.

Schoonmaker and Jessica McGeehon were honored for senior day before the game. Later, Schoonmaker was involved in a play that resulted in impressive sportsmanship, Bandon coach Rick Hinojosa said.

After leading off from first base, Schoonmaker dove for the bag to avoid a tag. Riddle’s first baseman caught the ball, but also a glove full of dirt from catching the low throw — flinging dirt into Schoonmaker’s face and eyes.

Riddle’s pitcher immediately ran to the Irish dugout and returned with a bottle of water to help Schoonmaker flush the dirt from her eyes, then offered her own sleeve for Schoonmaker to wipe her eyes.

“Seeing players, even if on opposite teams, help out a fellow player was really appreciated by the crowd,” Hinojosa said.

The Tigers visit Coquille on Tuesday and then travel to Glide for a doubleheader next Friday as they tune up for the Class 3A playoffs.

Timbers tie FC Dallas THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRISCO, Texas — Kenny Cooper scored on a penalty kick in the 77th minute to lift FC Dallas into a 1-1 tie with the Portland Timbers on Wednesday night.

The draw extended the unbeaten streaks for two of the hottest clubs in MLS to eight games apiece.

Cooper’s second goal of the season came after Portland’s Andrew Jean-Baptiste was shown a yellow card for pulling down Blas

Perez inside the penalty area. The ball wasn’t anywhere near them when Perez tumbled to the ground.

“It was just me and Perez battling,” Jean-Baptiste said. “He was holding onto me; I was holding onto him; we were just both fighting for it, but the ref felt like I drug him down.”

Cooper then stepped to the dot and slotted a low shot just inside the left post to tie it.

North Eugene broke a 5-5 tie with three runs in the bottom of the sixth. Tommy Ahlstrom had four RBIs for the Highlanders.

Miami pulls even with Chicago

From Page B1

MIAMI (AP) — Carlos Boozer said the Chicago Bulls were feeling cheated.

Mario Chalmers said the Miami Heat thought they were getting too many cheap shots.

Tensions and emotions are now nearly as high as the stakes.

In other words, this Bulls-Heat series is just getting started.

Ray Allen scored 21 points in less than 19 minutes off the bench, LeBron James scored all 19 of his points in the first half and the Heat led by as many as 46 on the way to a wild, whistle-filled 115-78 win over the Bulls in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup on Wednesday night. The series is tied at a game apiece and shifts to Chicago for Game 3 on Friday night.

“We did a pretty good job of just staying the course,” James said. “We just came in with a mindset to be aggressive and play our game. With everything that was going on, we just tried to keep our composure.”

They did that last part with ease.

Of course, when you’re winning by 46, it’s easy to stay composed — though for most of the first half, a runaway game seemed highly unlikely.

The first hard foul of the night came 12 seconds into the game, when Udonis Haslem collided with Nate Robinson and sent the diminutive Bulls guard crashing to the hardwood. Marco Belinelli retaliated with a healthy smack against Dwyane Wade nine seconds

Miami’s Chris Bosh dunks the ball against Chicago during the first half Wednesday. later, and the Heat guard picked up the first of nine technical fouls in the game.

Six of those technicals went against the Bulls, including two each for Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson, who both departed angrily with 10:13 remaining. At least one fan directed an obscene gesture toward Noah as he left, and television cameras caught Gibson using plenty of inappropriate language before he retreated out of sight for the rest of the night.

“This hardly happens to me,” Gibson said. “It’s a sign of frustration. We just got blown out. You don’t want to get blown out.”

Robinson and Marquis Teague also got technicals for Chicago. For Miami, Wade, James and Chalmers all got assessed technicals, and Chris Andersen was called for a flagrant foul.

Friday, I’m getting jitters already thinking about it. To go back with a split and potentially go up 3-1 is everything for us.”

and do everything you can when you feel you’re being cheated,” Boozer said.

“You’re going to say something about it.

But regardless we don’t place the blame on anybody else, we put it on our shoulders and we’ll play better.”

Really, they couldn’t play much worse. The numbers were beyond dreadful.

The Bulls shot just under 36 percent, while Miami connected on 60 percent of its shots. Chicago was outrebounded 41-28, a big shift from Game 1, when the Bulls were dominant on the glass. And other stats were unfathomably bad: The Bulls were outscored by huge margins in bench points (55-25), fast-break points (20-2) and points off turnovers (28-7).

Still, the Bulls got a split in Miami.

Home-court advantage in this series is theirs, and that surely will help them turn the page quickly from Wednesday’s debacle.

He finished with 11 points in the quarter, going 3-for-4 from the field and 2-for-3 on 3s.

The Spurs focused their defense on Curry in the first half to varying success.

Curry did not score in the final 10 minutes of the half, but his drives drew the defense and freed his teammates for open jumpers. He was credited with only two assists in the quarter, but his presence helped Golden State

outscore San Antonio 30-24.

Thompson went 7-for-8 on 3s in the first half and was 11-for-18 overall.

“It was amazing,” Curry said. “The shots he was hitting, to go 8-for-9 in a game from the 3-point line in the playoffs is just unheard of. He was just aggressive. He was confident in every shot he took. He was just feeling it.

You ride a guy that’s feeling that hot, especially when he’s in rhythm.”

The Lakers dropped both games of a doubleheader at Lane on Tuesday, falling 4-2 and 7-3. They were two more relatively low-scoring losses, to go with a doubleheader sweep by Mount Hood by matching 3-1 scores Saturday.

Jamila Culcleasure and Nneeka Lankster qualified in the shot put.

win a game when you’re playing against 12 men.

That’s just completely unfair.

“I’m not going to criticize anyone specifically, but that’s just unacceptable, and off the ball, where two guys get tangled. There were 20 other plays in that game that were just like that exact one that could have been called, in both boxes, so I think it’s just a travesty.”

Raul Fernandez made three saves for Dallas, which owns the league’s best record and is 6-0-2 in its last eight.

Diego Chara scored and Donovan Ricketts made four saves for the Timbers, who are now 3-0-5 in their last eight matches. It was Portland’s first point earned in Dallas, having lost on its previous three visits by a combined 10-1 margin.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Policy, Management and Budget proposes to withdraw 1,140.82 acres of public and acquired lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing or geothermal leasing laws, to protect the geological, cultural, botanical, recreational, and biological resources within the New River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) located in Coos and Curry Counties, Oregon. This notice also gives the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed withdrawal application and to request a public meeting.

DATE: Effective Date: The BLM must receive comments and requests for a public meeting by August 5th, 2013.

ADDRESS: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Oregon/Washington State Director, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208 2965.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael L. Barnes, BLM Oregon/Washington State Office, 503-808-6155, or Paul J. Rodriguez, BLM Coos Bay District Office, 541-751-4462. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1 800-877-8339 to reach either of the

contacts stated above. The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or question with either of the above individuals.

You will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM filed an application requesting the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget to withdraw, subject to valid existing rights, the following described lands located in Coos and Curry Counties, Oregon, from location and entry under the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral or geothermal leasing laws, to protect the geological, cultural, botanical, recreational, and biological resources within the New River ACEC: Willamette Meridian T. 29 S., R. 15 W., sec. 35, N½NE¼NE¼; sec. 36, lot 1, and NW¼NW¼; SAVING AND EXCEPTING that part subject to the right-of-way of Berg Road.

T. 30 S., R. 15 W., sec. 2, W½SW¼, and a portion of lots 3 and 4 described as follows: Beginning at a point on the north line of said sec. 2, said point being 967.37 ft. westerly of the north quarter corner of said sec. 2; thence S. 9°29’14” W., 192.13 ft.; thence S. 30°54’ 40” W., 270.93 ft.; thence N. 83°13’00” W., 594.73 ft.; thence S. 28° 19’14” W., 190.01 ft.; thence S. 0°19’14” W., 422 ft. more or less to the north bank of Fourmile Creek; thence running northwesterly along the north bank of said creek to the north line of said sec. 2; thence easterly along said north line to a point, 1230 ft. more or less to the point of beginning. sec. 3, lots 3 and 4; sec. 10, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, E½NE¼, and SW¼SE¼; sec. 11, lots 3 to 7, inclusive, excluding an easement 20 feet wide along northerly and easterly boundary of lots 5 and 7; sec. 15, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, and NW¼NE¼; sec. 21, lots 1 and 2; sec. 22, lots 1 and 2, and NW¼SW¼; sec. 28, lots 2, 3, 4, and SE¼NE¼; sec. 32, lot 1; sec. 33, lot 2.

T. 31 S., R. 15 W., sec. 7, lot 1; sec. 8, lot 3, 4, 7, and 8.

The areas described aggregate 1,140.82 acres in Coos and Curry Counties.

The Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget has approved the BLM’s petition. Therefore, the petition constitutes a withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1-3(e)).

The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative agreement would not adequately constrain non-discretionary uses and would not provide adequate protection of the Federal investment in the improvements located on the lands.

There are no suitable alternative sites with equal or greater benefit to the government.

No additional water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of the requested withdrawal.

For a period until August 5th, 2013, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to the BLM State Director at the address indicated above. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment - including your personal identifying information - may be made publicly available at any time.

While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Notice is hereby given that the BLM may hold a public meeting in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All interested parties who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the BLM State Director at the address indicated above within 90 days from the publication of this notice. If the BLM authorized officer determines that the BLM will hold a public meeting, the BLM will publish a notice of the time and place in the FEDERAL REGISTER at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.

For a period until May 6th, 2015, the lands described in this notice will be segregated from location and entry under the United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral or geothermal leasing laws, unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior to that date.

Licenses, permits, cooperative agreement, or discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary nature that will not significantly impact the values to be protected by the withdrawal may be allowed with the approval of the authorized officer of the BLM during the temporary segregative period.

The application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

South ducks the first trick? What happens if South wins the first trick?

South has seven top tricks: two spades, three hearts and two diamonds. He must obtain two more winners from clubs. But since he will lose the lead twice, the defenders might establish and run their spade suit first.

If declarer ducks trick one and West continues spades, South plays on clubs and makes his contract.

When East gets in with the club king, he does not have another spade to lead.

If South does not win the first trick, West must shift to a diamond to defeat the contract — a play that would be very tough to find.

If South wins the first trick, he does best to play a heart to the queen and start clubs from the board.

To beat the contract, East must put up his king and return his remaining spade.

When partner’s suit is one lead from being established, especially if you have only one card left in that suit, do your utmost to win the next defensive trick.

TO DEFENDANTS: ALL OCCUPANTS of the real property located at 415 North Wasson Street, Coos Bay, Oregon NOTICE TO DEFENDANT: READ THESE PAPERS CAREFULLY! You must “appear” in this case or the other side will win automatically. To “appear” you must file with the court a legal document called a “motion” or “reply.” The “motion” or “reply” must be given to the court clerk or administrator within 30 days of the date of first publication specified herein along with the required filing fee. It must be in proper form and have proof of service on the plaintiff’s attorney or, if the plaintiff does not have an attorney, proof of service on the plaintiff. The date of first publication of the summons is April 25, 2013.

Oil barrel needs to be disposed of properly Dear Tom and Ray: Back in the ’80s, when there wasn’t anywhere he knew of to take used oil for recycling, my dad started pouring it into a 55-gallon drum in the garage. Not just oil, but anything sort of like it: transmission fluid, brake fluid, you name it. That drum filled up long ago, and it’s still there! Other than leaving it in place for eternity, what’s the best thing to do with it? — Dottie TOM: Wow. Your dad left you a 55-gallon drum of waste oil. I’m going tell my ex-wife never to complain again about that lousy, chipped tea set her mother left her.

RAY: Do you live anywhere near that big nuclear waste facility in the Rocky Mountains, Dottie?

TOM: Actually, it shouldn’t be very hard to dispose of.

But it’s not easy, either.

RAY: Most states have strict regulations about how you can transport and dispose of waste oil. And they’ll only license certain companies, that meet the qualifications, to handle waste oil properly.

TOM: “Properly” means, first, not spilling it, because a single gallon of spilled oil can contaminate a lot of ground water. And second, safely delivering it to someplace where it can be recycled — most often burned as heating fuel in a waste-oil furnace.

RAY: So, first you’re going to have to check with your state’s department of environmental affairs and find out what the rules are.

TOM: Based on what you learn, you’ll probably have to call a licensed waste-removal company to handle this.

R A Y : If what’s in the drum is just waste oil (like motor oil and transmission fluid), they’ll come and pump

TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI it out of your drum and cart it away for, most likely, between $100 and $200. Not too bad, right?

TOM: But here’s the bad news: If there’s brake fluid in there — you say there is — it’s no longer considered just “waste oil.” It’s considered a “federal hazardous waste,” and, by federal law, it has to be handled much more carefully.

RAY: If the waste oil is mixed with brake fluid, the stuff can no longer be burned as heating fuel. There are chlorines in brake fluid that are poisonous to humans when burned, and a small amount of brake fluid can contaminate an entire barrel of otherwise reusable oil.

TOM: For that reason, it has to be handled differently — usually shipped somewhere for safe processing — and that increases the cost to you.

RAY: And here’s the other bad news: You can’t just lie about it and say there's no brake fluid in there. Licensed carriers will test a sample on the spot, to figure out if they have to treat it as waste oil or hazardous waste. If it’s hazardous waste, youprobably looking at more like $300$500 to have it taken away.

T O M : But you really should get it done, Dottie.

And the sooner, the better.

Because if that barrel ever rusts out and starts to leak, then you’ve got your own little EPA superfund site, and the costs of cleanup only go up from there — sometimes exponentially.

RAY: Start by going to the website of whatever department in your state deals with environmental protection.

Or call. If you’re prohibited from transporting it yourself, they should be able to give you a list of companies that are licensed to cart away waste oil and hazardous waste.

TOM: Call a few of them and shop around for a good price. Let them know over the phone that there may be brake fluid in the oil so you can get an accurate price quote.

RAY: Then bite the bullet and get rid of the stuff. And don’t forget to say, “Thanks, Dad” as you write the check.

Is there a way to replace car’s interior?

Dear Tom and Ray: My wife has a 1999 Subaru Forester with low mileage (85,000), but the interior is not so good. She lets the kids eat in her car, and, as such, the seats are getting ruined, the floor mats are gone, the cup holders are broken and the list goes on.

I’d like to replace the broken items in her car and replace the seats and the carpet, but I don’t know where to get those items at reasonable prices. Of course, the local dealer can get some of those parts, but at a nice premium, which I’d like to avoid. Any ideas where can I find OEM parts or replacement interior parts at reasonable prices? — Jaime RAY: Sure. At a junkyard.

Also known these days by its society name, the “automo-

tive recycling center.”

TOM: There are situations where a car will get in a wreck of some kind, and the car is totaled but the interior is still fine.

RAY: Or the car is sent to the junkyard for some kind of catastrophic engine failure, even though the cup holders are still working like they’re brand new.

TOM: In fact, you even can buy an entire interior for your car at a junkyard if you want to. Or, if you’re looking for a hobby, take the engine out of yours and put it into one of those junkers!

RAY: Most junkyards are connected electronically these days, so if one doesn’t have what you’re looking for, they can see if another one has it.

TOM: Another option is to find a body shop that’s willing to do the work for you and source the stuff “used,” from a junkyard. They do this a lot more frequently than you do.

RAY: But if you do decide to do it yourself, ask if you can check out the interior “in situ” first — that is, when it’s still in the donor car, if that’s possible. Then get in, and take a deep breath. Because you don’t want to install seats and carpet in your wife’s car only to find out that they were previously in the car of an old lady who drove around all day with her eight male cats, while chain smoking Cuban cigars.
