Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878

Stolen dog, owner reunited

BY THOMAS MORIARTY The World

COOS BAY — A missing Pomeranian was reunited with his owner Tuesday more than two weeks after being stolen from a car at Shore Acres.

Martha Hickerson said her dog Beacon was found by service employees at the Ken Ware auto dealership.

She drove back from Bend as fast as she could when she heard the news.

It’s unknown how the dog wound up at the automobile service center.

The dog had obviously been well-fed by its abductors.

H ickerson Beacon had been visiting the area when she stopped

by Shore Acres State Park outside Charleston.

When she returned to her car, her beloved pup was gone.

Desperate to get Beacon back, she began an all-out media blitz.

“We put out a lot of these flyers and a lot of ads,” she said.

Hickerson also signed up for Pet Amber Alerts.

Stealing a companion animal is considered first-degree theft, a Class C felony.

“The rangers at Shore Acres blanketed the place when they found out,” she said. “They took it very seriously.”

Hickerson said her dog’s theft is still being investigated

by Oregon State Police, since it’s a felony that happened at a state park.

Golf course decision goes to LUBA

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

The proposed Pacific Gales golf course near Port Orford cleared one hurdle only to nearly immediately learn of another.

The Curry County Board of Commissioners affirmed the county planning commission’s decision to approve the conditional use permit required to build the golf course on the Knapp Ranch, located between Port Orford and the Elk River.

The commissioners signed a final order for their decision last Tuesday, denying an appeal of the planning commission’s decision by Oregon

Coast Alliance. But by the end of the week, ORCA already had filed an intent to appeal the decision with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.

Now the matter goes to the threemember state board, a process that could take up See the full version of to half a year. this story online at theworldlink.com LUBA is awaiting the official record of the case from Curry County, including testimony and written arguments. When that information comes in from the county, parties have 21 days to file briefs stating their case. Then a

hearing will be set for oral arguments. And after the hearing, the board has 35 days to file its ruling.

There also is a possibility that other groups or individuals besides Oregon Coast Alliance could appeal the county’s decision, as long as they have had a part in the process. The appeal period to LUBA is 21 days from May 27, when the commissioners signed the written order.

According to its website, Oregon Coast Alliance has been opposed to the Pacific Gales project from the start, claiming it “takes a big chunk of coastal farmland out of production,” that it “fails to protect important natural resources in the

area,” and that it “will provide no sustainable, longterm economic development.”

The group initially filed written testimony opposing the conditional use application and then appealed the planning commission’s decision to the county commissioners on several legal grounds. Now it is appealing the subsequent commissioners’ decision.

“The point of filing the appeal is we disagree with the county’s interpretation of the legal issues that come up,” said Cameron La Follette, the land use director for ORCA. “We SEE GOLF | A8

The long road to graduation

By Lou Sennick, The World

Despite some personal hardships the past few years, Jadess Taitano will be graduating this weekend from Marshfield High School where she attended the past two years.

The World

COOS BAY — Jadess Taitano isn’t letting the past become a roadblock to her future.

The 19-year-old is graduating from Marshfield High in two days, no small feat considering she’s had a rough past couple of years. Taitano grew up in Salem but left two years ago when she was 17.

“My mom was unfit,” she said. “I lived with my blood aunt, but she was moving to Washington, so I moved in here with my aunt’s friend.”

Inside It’s not news that changGraduation ing schools suddenly is hard schedule. Page A2 on a kid, but it’s especially difficult in the middle of high school, when friend groups are mostly set in stone and a student doesn’t have parents to go home to every night. She eventually settled in, but she won’t say it was easy.

“It was a big change when I first moved here,” she said. “I was the new kid again.

“But I love this school. Coming here and being in the theater programs was different, because we actually get noticed.”

Principal Doug Holland calls Taitano “the celebrity of the school.” There’s something electric about her, both on- and off-stage. She’s often compared to Lea Michele’s character Rachel Berry on “Glee,” both in appearance and talent.

That talent has translated to a long list of activities and accomplishments, awards and scholarships. At the scholarship assembly last week, Taitano landed two: a $500 Aaron Roblan Memorial Scholarship and a $1,850 Pranatis Memorial Scholarship.

“After doing this my whole career, why is it that some kids can overcome incredible adversity and some can’t?” Holland said. “With Jadess, I wish I could just bottle up the positive energy she has inside her and the belief she has in herself.”

When Kelly Haut started working at Marshfield two years ago as a performing arts teacher,she was shocked by what many students went home to every night. Today, she’s an English teacher at MHS. “There’s a lack of consistency and support in their lives,” she said. “But theater is very timeconsuming to be involved in, so they’re too busy to get involved in things on a path of distraction.”

Last year, two of Haut’s theater students were

homeless, but they shined in the program.

“Especially for kids who have a lot going on emotionally, they can vent those things out in a healthy, proactive manner (in theater),” Haut said.

This fall, Taitano’s headed to Southern Oregon University to study performing arts.

“I’ve wanted to be an actress since I was 5,” she said.

In only two years as a Pirate, she’s taken the stage a number of times, in “Wizard of Oz,” “The Importance of Being Earnest,” “All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten,” “Property Rites” and “The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet.”

She’s also a choir member and one of two forensics team members heading to nationals in a couple weeks (junior Helena Platt qualified in Humorous Interpretation of “Camp Sunshine”).

This is Taitano’s first and only year in forensics — speech and debate — but she wowed audiences with her dramatic interpretation of “Life as a Fly.” The sketch reveals a woman with artistic aspirations, “but her life has been a whirlwind,” Taitano said. The character suffered at the SEE SUCCESS | A8

DEATHS

A mysterious disease that causes sea stars to disintegrate is exploding on the Oregon Coast.

Oregon State University marine ecologist Kristen Milligan said that Oregon was largely spared last year as the disease known as sea star wasting syndrome spread on the West Coast.

But monitoring of tide pools along much of the coast shows the number of sea stars affected has jumped from just 1 percent in April to as high as 50 percent. The greatest concentration is at Fogarty Creek north of Depoe Bay. “It’s very serious. Some of the sea stars most heavily affected are keystone predators that influence the whole diversity of life in the intertidal zone,” Bruce Menge, a professor of marine biology at OSU, said in a statement.

Losing so many sea stars — a major predator of mussels and sea urchins — could throw the marine ecosystem out of balance, Milligan said.

Coos County again delays vote on SCCF COQUILLE — Coos County commissioners have delayed their vote on the South Coast Community Foundation again.

They were going to vote on the county’s SCCF membership once Commissioner Bob Main returned from vacation, which he did Monday. The vote didn’t happen at the Tuesday meeting, though all three commissioners were present.

Commissioners John Sweet and Melissa Cribbins originally voted on the matter at a work session May 2. That vote needed to be ratified at a regular meeting. There have been three regular meetings since that work session, including Tuesday’s.

Main said the vote will take place at the July 1 meeting.

Heeding our teachers’ lessons Our view Public school educators have a lot to teach all of us — if only we listen.

What do you think?

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

The results from the recent statewide survey of educators can be taken one of two ways — either we’ve got a bunch of unhappy teachers on our hands, or we’ve got an opportunity to begin constructive dialog on how we teach our kids.

The Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning — or TELL Oregon survey — was conducted this spring by the state Department of Education, the Oregon Education Association and the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators. The first of its kind in the state, nearly 60 percent of educators statewide weighed in.

What did teachers tell us?

Classes are too big. They don’t have enough hours in the day to do their jobs. They feel unsupported by administrations. There is too much paperwork. South Coast educators fell pretty much in line with statewide sentiments.

What was really telling to us was teachers’ answer to the question: “Overall, my school is a good place to work and learn.” Myrtle Point topped the satisfaction list with nearly 93 percent agreeing. Coquille, North Bend and Coos Bay followed in the 80-percent range.

Brookings-Harbor and Reedsport didn’t do as well,

with just 67 percent and 64 percent of their teachers agreeing.

We know BrookingsHarbor, in Curry County, is hurting financially.

Reedsport is having difficulty filling its vital superintendent position, and that can’t be good for stability.

So what should we take away from the results? First, we should take teachers seriously at their word. Our perpetually lean fiscal climate means less in resources. We know how that can impact performance and attitude.

Second, we shouldn’t think that money alone will

fix the problem. A huge windfall from a liquefied natural gas plant would be a nice patch fix, but we can’t bet on that happening and can’t assume underlying problems would be addressed.

We think the survey provides a good foundation for serious conversations — between teachers, administrators, school boards and parents. And let’s be sure we’re talking with teachers, not at them.

Some of this is already occurring in some districts, and more can be done. But where it isn’t, let’s get some conversation started.

Hollywood and Isla Vista Of all the things that have been said in the nonstop chatter since an obviously deranged young man killed six college students here in Southern California last month, by far the dumbest comes from Washington, D.C., where The Washington Post’s film critic actually said that these mass murders were tied to white men in Hollywood promoting “escapist fantasies” that “revolve around vigilantism and sexual wish-fulfillment.”

Wrote Ann Hornaday, who hopefully knows more about film than about crime, “As Rodger bemoaned his life of ‘loneliness, rejection and unfulfilled desire’ and arrogantly SUSAN announced that he ESTRICH would now prove his Columnist own status as ‘the true alpha male,’ he unwittingly expressed the toxic double helix of insecurity and entitlement that comprises Hollywood’s DNA.” There’s more: “How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, ‘It’s not fair’?”

So Apatow is responsible for a seriously ill young man’s murdering six students because that young man — unlike Seth Rogen or a character in an Apatow movie — didn’t get the girl?

This is nuts. Elliot Rodger was a dangerous and sick young man. He should not have been buying guns and living on his own. His parents knew he was troubled, but clearly they didn’t know just how seriously ill he was — or they didn’t know what to do about it. He had therapists who didn’t know just how imminent a danger he posed. He was a college student, but they apparently didn’t know or do anything.

And now six kids — it could have been any of our kids — are dead.

Could we please focus on the killer and not the movies? Could we please try to figure out how to keep sick and dangerous kids who have easy access to guns from killing our children?

As a parent and a professor, I would like to believe that campuses are safe places. We need to help the parents of deeply disturbed kids get help for their children, we need to help campuses step up to mental health issues, and we need to deal with the sale of guns to young people who should not be allowed to buy them. That’s a big list. Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen really don’t belong on it.

Letters to the Editor Egyptian getting great director I write from the small town of Delaware, Ohio to congratulate the citizens of the Bay Area on the renovation and impending re-opening of the Egyptian Theatre, but also on your excellent choice of who will run it.

We are extremely fortunate here to be home to The Strand Theatre, which will soon celebrate 100 years of continual operation as a first-run movie theater. It is a gem of our downtown, a destination for visitors and, as an added bonus, makes the best popcorn you'll ever eat, anywhere. For the last 12 years, The Strand has been magnificently led by Kara Long, who took the reins at the Egyptian this week.

During her tenure at the helm of The Strand, Kara led a period of revitalization and renovation, opened the doors for community events, fought for fairness in the way movies are distributed to small theaters, and was a tireless advocate for our community.

She ensured that The Strand would continue to be a vital part of our community, and that it is in position for another 100 years of success by leading the conversion to digital projection.

Yes, The Strand is where I saw all the Harry Potter films and where my kids take in the latest Disney picture. But it is also a gathering place for cancer fundraisers, school field trips, major sporting events, film shows and even a special opening ceremony for “42” that celebrated our city's connection to Branch Rickey.

From what I have seen of the Egyptian in photos and news reports, the Bay Area should be proud of the renovation that it has funded. You should also rest comfortably in the knowledge that you have chosen the right person to lead the theater.

Support it, nurture it, patronize it and it will be a gem for your community as The Strand is for ours.

We will miss Kara here in Delaware, Ohio, but we will think of her every time we enjoy the theater that she nurtured for 12 years. We wish her and the entire Bay Area community

nothing but success as the Egyptian starts its new chapter.

LNG not good for Coos County The way Coos County boosters are drooling over a projected Jordan Cove cash flow bonanza is shameful and frightening. The rush to join the big-energy corporate sell-off of our natural life-support systems in order to make a profit is, to put it bluntly, prostitution. An honest and realistic assessment of the environmental damage this project will cause would nix it in a heartbeat. Is it that the boosters do not understand that damage, or that they do not care to understand it? Many excellent letters have been written to this paper clearly listing the environmental concerns, the pipeline violations of citizens’ rights, and the risks to public safety through accidents, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. Yet the only concern I hear from the boosters is about how and when to divide up the cash.

I participated in the Jordan Cove LNG protest demonstration in downtown Coos Bay several weeks ago, (an event ignored by The World newspaper). I expected there would be some negative response from cars passing on U.S. Highway 101, but I was pleasantly surprised that the majority response was supportive of our protest. There are many more people than just those who write to the paper who do not want the LNG facility. I am not alone in believing that with good data, creativity and environmental awareness we can live and thrive along with our beautiful natural environment. In fact, without our beautiful natural environment, we will not live and thrive.

The SDAT report that the county requested four years ago said the same: “The challenge for Coos County is how to make a successful transition from extractive, non-sustainable industries to a sustainable use economy, in which decisions made today do not result in passing on a damaged environment and economy to future generations.” (SDAT p. 12)

Are all the letters to the editor, the protest demonstrations, the official comments sent in, the SDAT report, the latest reports on accelerating climate change, nothing but blowing into the wind? These boosters scare me.

Memorial Day’s real meaning The World’s coverage of the United Veterans Memorial Day Parade highlighted how often the true significance of Memorial Day is overlooked. By encapsulating the parade with a photo captioned, “Bringing out the kid in all of us,” complete with Scooby-Doo, the holiday’s focus on honoring those who died in service to their country was lost.

Lou Sennick took some fine photos that captured the essence of the parade: The Coos County Posse Honor Guard leading the parade or Mayor Shoji with poppies in hand would have better reflected the intent of the parade. Better still would have been a photo that recognized our local veterans, such as the WWII veteran, age 90-plus, who walked the entire parade route or the parade’s Grand Marshal in absentia, Gene Melton, who has served his country and this community diligently for years.

If a photo is really worth a thousand words, I hope The World will choose its “words” carefully. The World serves as a valuable tool to reach and teach our community. And please — save the date — next year the United Veterans Memorial Day Parade will be held May 30, 2015, the date on which Memorial Day was traditionally celebrated.

different veterans’ groups, one being Vietnam Veterans of America. We brought this issue before this group of men and women, and believe me .. they were not all Christians, but from every type of other religious and non-religious groups. They believe as we do, and most of the veterans of Coos Country, and those veterans from here to Portland that we have talked to.

They say: “Leave the cross on top of the memorial.” They do not look at it as a religious item, but see it as an honor to those who fought a war that was unpopular, and for those that never got a “welcome home.”

They think if it bothers people after being in place for over 40 years then “don’t look at it.” The cross is not the point. They stated there are memorials for veterans across the USA that have crosses and ones with no crosses, and they are looked at exactly the same, as a remembrance to those that served and lost their lives for our freedom.

They wonder why Coos County would even take up this issue and question why they don’t have more important things on their agenda to worry about. As Faye Alberston said: “How can such a few be able to change everything?”

If the veterans want it to stay as it is, then it should stay as it is.

Some organizations just want to make noise simply because they can, but the rest of us also have a say, and we want this memorial to stay as it stands.

State Husband’s betrayal puts his wife’s health at risk DEAR ABBY: I just found out my husband was arrested for being with a hooker. My in-laws (whom I love and adore) bailed him out of jail.

No one said a word about it to me. I don’t know how to confront all of them with the fact that I know about this “dirty little secret.” What should I do? — BETRAYED WIFE DEAR BETRAYED: First, visit your gynecologist and ask to be treated for DEAR every STD known to man. Then invite your in-laws to a “family dinner,” tell them the cat is out of the bag and ask why this JEANNE PHILLIPS was kept from you.

And while you’re at it, ask your motherin-law (whom you love and adore) how SHE would feel if your father-in-law had possibly exposed her to an STD and it had been kept from her. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

DEAR ABBY: I’ll bet this is an issue in many homes.

When my son “Chet” graduated from high school, we gave him a very nice graduation party, which included his friends and family. He received many gifts.

I gave my son thank-you cards, stamps, and a detailed list of whom to send the cards to. So far, he has refused.

Chet is normally thoughtful and considerate. I don’t know what to do. I’m embarrassed by his lack of gratitude. I have told him we have received thank-yous from his friends and that the cards can be brief. Should I send the thank-you notes myself, or just let it go? — EMBARRASSED MOM IN CALIFORNIA DEAR MOM: If the amount of mail I receive from readers complaining that their gifts are not acknowledged is an accurate barometer, your problem is very common. Without being confrontational, ask your son why he refuses to thank the people who gave him gifts. If the answer is he doesn’t know what to say and he’s embarrassed that he has procrastinated, offer to help him by making suggestions.

You’re right; the thank-yous don’t have to be lengthy. But DO NOT write them for him.

Chet is a big boy and the responsibility is his.

DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced, single woman in my 50s. I love my grandchildren dearly but am faced with a dilemma. I work full-time and take my grandchildren some nights and on the one day I have off — usually on weekends.

I can’t plan things on a weekend without feeling I have made it difficult for my son and his wife to find someone to watch their children.

Her mom, a stay-at-home wife, watches them several days a week.

I want to continue spending time with my grandkids, but I also want the freedom to be there when I choose to be. I realize finding a sitter you can afford and trust to watch your children is a challenge. I have tried talking to my son, but it doesn’t seem to get through to him. I know I need to do something, but what? I’m afraid I won’t see the kids at all if I take a stand. — LADY ON THE LAKE IN MICHIGAN DEAR LADY: Check your calendar and plan some time for yourself — one or two weekends a month. Then tell your son and his wife which ones you will be AVAILABLE. Free baby-sitting services are hard to come by, and you are not giving yourself enough credit. If the unspoken threat is that it’s “all or nothing,” then, frankly, you should step back further and let your son and daughter-in-law shoulder even more responsibility for the children they brought into this world.

High Court refuses to block gay marriage

This June 2 photo provided by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, shows two wolf pups fathered by Oregon’s famous wandering wolf, OR-7, peering out from a den in the Cascade Range east of Medford. They are the first known pups born in the Cascades of Oregon since the 1940s. OR-7 left his pack in northeastern Oregon in 2011 in search of a mate, traveling thousands of miles across Oregon and into Northern California before finding one last winter in the southern Cascades.A GPS tracking collar led state and federal biologists to the site on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.

Wandering wolf has pups in Cascade Range GRANTS PASS (AP) — Oregon’s famous wandering wolf has fathered pups with a mate in the southern Cascade Range — the first confirmed wolf pack in those mountains since the 1940s, officials said Wednesday.

Biologists made the determination after traveling Monday to a site in the Rogue National River-Siskiyou Forest east of Medford, where photos and a GPS tracking collar showed the wolf known as OR-7 has been living with a mate.

They saw two pups peering out from a pile of logs and may have heard more, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said.

OR-7 and his mate were not spotted but could well have been nearby in the dense timber, Fish and Wildlife biologist John Stephenson said.

“OR-7 was probably off getting some food,” he said.

“We saw a couple deer (and elk) legs that had obviously been getting chewed on.”

The discovery marked the farthest west and south a wolf pack has established itself since the animals were reintroduced in the Northern

Rockies in the 1990s, he said.

Any wolves that set up house in western Oregon or California are still covered by the U.S. Endangered Species Act, but U.S. Fish and Wildlife is expected to decide in December on a proposal to lift that protection.

If the federal designation is lifted, those wolves will still have state endangered species protection. Prompted

by OR-7’s wanderings in the state, California’s Fish and Game Commission voted Wednesday to add the gray wolf to the state’s endangered species list despite objections from ranchers and no evidence of other wolves there. The decision requires a second vote in August to become final.

“Poaching can really impact on wolf recovery in new areas,” said Noah Greenwald of the Center for Biological Diversity, a conservation group. “This just highlights the fact wolves continue to need protections.”

OR-7 set off in search of a mate in September 2011, covering thousands of miles from his birthplace in northeastern Oregon to Northern California and back into

southwestern Oregon.

OR-7 became famous as his tracking collar chronicled his lonesome wanderings across deserts, highways and mountains.

Last winter he began spending his time in a limited area, typical of a wolf that has found a mate. Trail camera photos confirmed it last month.

Stephenson said he went into the area one evening in late April and howled and got a return howl, indicating OR-7 was protecting his territory from other wolves that might want to move in.

The pack is expected to leave the den this summer, moving some distance to what is known as a rendezvous site, where the pups are left behind while the parents hunt.

Stephenson said he has issued an advisory about the wolf to ranchers who will be turning out cattle on federal grazing allotments.

“They are not really excited about it,” he said.

“They seem to be taking it in stride. We will be working to take preventative measures.”

No evidence has surfaced that OR-7 has attacked livestock.

Grocers drop liquor privatization measure SALEM (AP) — Oregon voters won’t be deciding this year whether to privatize liquor sales.

Grocers said Wednesday they’re withdrawing proposed ballot initiatives that would have asked voters in November to end the state’s monopoly on selling liquor.

They prepared two versions, but said Wednesday there’s not enough time to get signatures for the one they prefer.

They’d need 87,000 valid signatures on that measure

by July 3 but still haven’t received approval to begin collecting them. co-sponsor Initiative Lauren Johnson says in a statement that proponents will continue seeking privatization through the Legislature or the 2016 ballot.

Corvallis student gets meningococcal disease CORVALLIS (AP) — The Corvallis public school system says a high school

STATE D I G E S T student has been diagnosed as having meningococcal disease The bacterial disease inflames the brain lining, can cause complications once it infects the bloodstream, and can be deadly. Transmission requires close and persistent contact, so it does not spread readily.

Symptoms are high fever, headache and stiff neck, and they usually appear in three to four days.

The school system said in a statement Wednesday the Corvallis High School student showed symptoms on May 31.

Wildcat sanctuary to pay attack fines PORTLAND (AP) — A suburban Portland wildcat sanctuary has agreed to pay $5,600 in penalties related to

a fatal cougar attack on its head keeper.

The Oregonian reports that a settlement agreement between WildCat Haven Sanctuary and the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division says the nonprofit will drop its appeal of citations assessed in March. They included a $2,800 fine for safety procedural violations and another $2,800 fine for unsafe cougar enclosure design features.

The fines were the maximum amounts allowed.

On Nov. 9, 36-year-old Renee Radziwon-Chapman of Portland was fatally attacked while cleaning a cougar enclosure alone.

Authorities say she apparently tried to lock out three cougars in the enclosure but was unable to do so before at least one attacked her.

WildCat Haven said in a statement after the fines were announced that it has addressed the state’s safety concerns.

SALEM (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to halt same-sex weddings in Oregon while a federal appeals court considers whether a group opposed to gay marriage can intervene in the case.

The order follows an emergency appeal by the National Organization for Marriage that seeks to overturn U.S. District Judge Michael McShane’s May 19 ruling that declared Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional.

The group had unsuccessfully tried to intervene in the lower court proceeding after Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum declined to defend the samesex ban.

The group filed its request with Justice Anthony Kennedy and he referred it to the full court, which denied the request without comment.

Missing Portland boy’s dad gets custody of daughter PORTLAND (AP) — The father of a Portland boy who disappeared four years ago has settled a custody case with a former wife, the last person known to have seen the child alive.

Kyron Horman vanished from school on June 4, 2010, after his stepmother, Terri Horman, brought him there early that day to attend a science fair. The 7-year-old boy never made it to his regular class, but he wasn’t reported missing until later that afternoon when he didn’t return home on the school bus.

A massive search came up empty, and no arrests have been made. Investigators have long focused on Terri Horman, although they have not named her as a suspect.

In a settlement signed Tuesday, Kaine Horman got custody of 5-year-old Kiara Horman, the daughter he had with Terri Horman.

Kaine Horman filed for divorce about a month after Kyron disappeared and obtained a restraining order that prohibited Terri Horman from having parenting time with Kiara, who was 19 months old at the time. The divorce was finalized Dec. 31, 2013.

The custody settlement made public on the fourth anniversary of Kyron’s dis-

appearance allows Terri Horman eventual visits with her daughter.

The process begins with the girl’s enrollment in counseling with a developmental specialist who will facilitate the child’s relationship with her mother.

The initial contact between Terri Horman and Kiara will be through an exchange of letters and cards.

It will then expand to videoconferencing and supervised visits.

“Preliminary maternal contact shall be relatively short and time limited, progressing on to longer duration as warranted by Kiara’s response,” the agreement states.

The settlement requires Terri Horman to attend parental training and restricts her from going within 150 feet of her ex-husband’s house, gym and workplace.

Kaine Horman’s attorney, Brett Engel, said his client is pleased with the settlement because it protects Kiara.

The Oregon case differs from others where the justices have blocked same-sex unions while appeals work their way through the courts.

In Oregon, the appeal is focused on whether an outside group can intervene in the case, not on the constitutionality of the same-sex marriage ban. The state has said it won’t appeal McShane’s ruling and had asked the justices to refuse the request.

“We are delighted that the court has rejected NOM’s attempt to derail marriage equality in Oregon,” said David Fidanque, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, which represented two of the four gay and lesbian couples who challenged the marriage ban.

“We are confident that marriage equality in Oregon will help pave the way for marriage equality nationwide.”

Nation No injuries in California jet crash IMPERIAL, Calif. (AP) — A military jet slammed into a Southern California neighborhood dense with homes and exploded in flames, but the pilot and everyone on the ground emerged unscathed, officials said.

Moments after the pilot ejected to safety Wednesday afternoon, the Harrier jet went down in a residential area of Imperial and destroyed two homes and heavily damaged a third.

Eleven-year-old Christopher Garcia was watching TV with his father and brother when he heard a frightening boom. Outside, he said he saw a pilot in a parachute falling from the sky, and what looked like a mushroom cloud of dark smoke two blocks away.

He ran to the crash scene to find one house with a collapsed roof, the neighboring house on fire, and a crying woman shouting, “That’s my house!” The boy and other witnesses said panicked neighbors were running in every direction.

Uproar prompts cancellation of return home party for Bergdahl HAILEY, Idaho (AP) — There will be no hero’s welcome for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in his hometown, no fanfare of parades, music or picnics in the park.

A planned celebration for the end of June marking his return after five years of Taliban captivity in Afghanistan has been scrapped, largely due to security concerns as his release has touched off a nationwide debate.

Debris from the Harrier jet hit the roof of one of the houses, which was destroyed, Marine Lt Col John Ferguson said. The subsequent explosion and fire destroyed another house and badly damaged one more.

The pilot, the only one aboard the aircraft, landed in a nearby field. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation and released, Ferguson said.

NYC officials: 34 injured in Staten Island fire NEW YORK (AP) — Fire tore through three townhouses on Staten Island early Thursday, injuring 34 people including two young children who were tossed out of a smoke-filled second-floor window into the arms of neighbors below, authorities and witnesses said.

About 200 firefighters responded to the blaze that

erupted at about 1 a.m. and battled the five-alarm fire for several hours.

A Fire Department of New York spokesman said 23 firefighters and 11 civilians suffered injuries ranging from minor to serious but none was considered life-threatening.

He said the number was expected to climb slightly.

He said the flames were so

heavy that firefighters were unable to say where the fire originated.That would be part of the investigation into what caused the blaze, he said.

“My life is in there,” said Cindy Piscopo, who lived on the first floor of one of the four-family townhouses.

She said she was awakened by a top-floor neighbor knocking on her door and

yelling at her to get out.

“I saw fire upstairs and flames shooting out of the side of the building” and an adjacent townhouse, she said. “The top floors are gone from both buildings.”

The fire spread to the third building about two hours later, said Piscopo, who escaped safely with her 12year-old daughter.

million people enrolled for taxpayer-subsidized private health insurance have data discrepancies in their applications. Each individual has at least one mismatch between key personal information they supplied and what the government has on record.

Consumers who get a notice about such problems would do well to pay attention. If unresolved, it could affect what they pay for coverage, or even their legal right to benefits.

It’s also creating a huge new paperwork headache for the administration, although

officials say they hope much of the pile can be cleared away this summer.

Congressional Republicans opposed to the law are launching investigations, saying they worry the government may be wasting money by paying overly generous subsidies.

State action may widen wealth gap JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Lawmakers in many states have been trying to boost their post-recession economies by cutting income taxes, curbing aid to the longterm jobless or holding down the minimum wage. Some have pursued all of these steps.

Whether such policies will spur businesses to expand as hoped isn’t yet clear. But collectively, the actions could ease the financial burden for the states’ most affluent residents while reducing the safety net for those at the bottom.

Senators push for veterans’ health care WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is moving forward on a compromise bill to help veterans avoid long waits to see a doctor and make it easier to fire administrators who falsify records to cover up long wait times.

Hopes for a vote as soon as Thursday have dimmed, but senators said they would press ahead on a measure to address an uproar over veterans’ health care following allegations that veterans have died while waiting to see a Veterans Affairs doctor.

Senators had wanted to pass the bill before Friday’s 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Europe in World War II. Up to a dozen senators were expected to attend the

NATIONAL D I G E S T D-Day ceremonies in France.

Questions grow about bridge closure DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware transportation department officials have examined aerial images as they investigate a mountain of dirt that grew to about two stories high and 100 yards long over the past few years, possibly causing an interstate bridge just a few yards away to tilt.

Engineers think that as a contractor dumped more and more dirt next to Interstate 495 bridge, the ground shifted under the weight and caused the bridge columns to start tilting. The bridge, a bypass that helps alleviate congestion on I-95 through Wilmington, Delaware, and normally carries about 90,000 vehicles daily, has been closed since Monday. It will be at least several weeks before it is reopened.

Police arrest man in stabbing of boy, 6 NEW YORK (AP) — A man believed to have stabbed a 6year-old boy to death and critically injured a 7-yearold girl in a knife attack in a public housing building elevator that didn’t have security cameras was arrested just minutes after the mayor and the police commissioner publicly identified him and appealed for help catching him, police said.

Daniel St. Hubert was picked up just after 8 p.m. on Wednesday in a residential neighborhood in Queens in connection with the death of Prince Joshua Avitto and the injuring of Mikayla Capers days earlier in Brooklyn, authorities said. No details were provided on how St. Hubert, 27, was captured.

St. Hubert was in custody and couldn’t be contacted for comment Wednesday night.

It was unclear if he had an attorney. Phone numbers at addresses registered to him were out of service.

World Obama encourages

WORLD D I G E S T Thousands hug trees in world record bid KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — More than 2,000 people, mostly students wearing their school uniforms, gathered in Nepal’s capital on Thursday in a bid to set a world record for the largest tree hug.

Parliament members, office workers and even Buddhist monks also took part in the attempt, joining the students at a park on the outskirts of Katmandu. The participants said they were trying to set the record to celebrate World Environment Day by spreading awareness about the importance of trees.

“Our goal is to set a new world record and at the same time spread the message that trees are important for the environment and everyone,” said Thaneswor Guragai, who coordinated the event.

Israel advances 1,500 settlement homes JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s housing ministry said Thursday it was advancing plans for nearly 1,500 new settlement housing units in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in response to the formation of a Palestinian unity government backed by the Islamic militant group Hamas.

Housing Minister Uri Ariel said in a statement that the move was a “fitting Zionist response to the formation of a Palestinian terror government,” adding that the housing plans were “just the beginning.”

Hope, risk surround Japan-N. Korea deal TOKYO (AP) — Japan and North Korea appear to be on the verge of a breakthrough on a bizarre legacy of the Cold War, a secret, government-ordered program that led to the abduction of more than a dozen and possibly several hundred Japanese citizens in the 1970s and 80s by North Korean infiltrators and spies.

After three days of talks in Stockholm last week, North Korea agreed to open a new investigation into the abductions, the biggest step forward Tokyo and Pyongyang have made in years. Questions over the fate of the abductees — some believed to still be alive — have kept relations in a deep freeze.

Obama concerned about warship deal BRUSSELS (AP) — President Barack Obama says he’s expressed concern to France about its intentions to keep building warships for Russia at the same time that Europe and the U.S. are trying to isolate Russia over the crisis in Ukraine.

Obama is speaking at a news conference hours before he’ll have dinner with French President Francois Hollande.

Obama says he recognizes the 3-year-old deal is large and important for French jobs. But he says it would have been preferable for France to pause defense deals while Russia is violating international law and the sovereignty of its neighbors.

Central bank weighs anti-deflation steps FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The European Central Bank is all but certain Thursday to unveil extraordinary steps to try to boost ultra-low inflation and quicken the limp economy of the 18 countries that use the euro.

The ECB has been under pressure to act, especially after a report this week showed that inflation in the eurozone dropped more than expected last month to 0.5 percent — further evidence of a wobbly recovery.

Excessively low inflation, if it persists, could become a serious economic threat. It could cause businesses and individuals to delay spending indefinitely as they await ever-lower prices. It could also make it harder for companies and countries to pare their heavy debt loads left over from the eurozone’s financial crisis.

BRUSSELS (AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday encouraged Russia to open talks with the new government coming into power in Ukraine or face continuing costs imposed by the world’s leading economies if its provocations continue.

Obama spoke at a news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron in Brussels after the two met privately following the closing of a gathering of the Group of Seven nations. Cameron said Russia’s actions in Ukraine are at odds with the leaders’ democratic values. “From the outset of this crisis, the G-7 have stood united.”

The G-7 meeting was originally supposed to take place in Sochi, Russia, and include Putin, but the leaders froze him out and moved the site to Brussels after Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula. After an opening dinner Wednesday night, the group said in a joint statement that they condemn Russia’s ongoing violation of

The militants arrived in Toyota Hilux pickup trucks — commonly used by the military — and told the civilians they were soldiers “and we are here to protect you all,” the same tactic used by the group when they kidnapped more than 300 girls from a school in the town of Chibok on April 15.

After people gathered in the center on the orders of the militants, “they begin to shout ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar’ on top of their voices, then they begin to fire at the people continuously for a very long time until all that gathered were all dead,” said the witness who didn’t want to be named for fear for his safety.

Dozens of new species in Myanmar YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A dragon fish with intricate, maze-like markings on every scale, a frog with rough, chocolate-colored skin and a ginger plant are among more than two dozen flora and fauna species found in Myanmar since it emerged from a half-century of military rule and isolation.

The World Wildlife Fund said Thursday the discoveries by global scientists in the last two years highlight the need to invest in conservation as the biologically diverse nation of 60 million revs up its economic engines and opens up to foreign investment.

Already, it is starting to succumb to many of the pressures felt by neighbors in Southeast Asia, from deforestation and illegal wildlife trade to mining and the development of hydropower.

The 26 plants and animals newly identified in Myanmar include a species of dragon fish, which are hugely popular in the Asian aquatic world. The so-called “scribbled arowana,” is creating a buzz on the aquarium fish blogosphere because of its unheard-of complex, mazelike markings on every individual scale.

SUCCESS

Those scholarships are not as much about the money, he said.

“For her, and I think for most students, it’s that acknowledgment that ‘I did well,’” he said.

But in an economically depressed region, scholarships are often many students’ only path to college.

“These kids are like cockroaches,” he said. “They’re surviving and not being victims. They have parents in prison, family in rehab, they’re living without parents.”

Performing arts teacher Allison Bassett said Taitano has a positive attitude that’s usually hard to find in high school students.

“She’s dedicated and she’s full of energy,” Bassett said. “She’s one of those people I noticed from the beginning of the year, her love of learning and performing, her willingness to jump in and try anything.

She’s not afraid to crash and burn.”

Haut said as long as Taitano stays focused, she will succeed.

“It’s been life-changing,” Taitano said of Marshfield. “Ever since I came here, I knew I wanted to pursue acting more. If I hadn’t come here, I don’t think I’d be where I want to be.”

Continued from Page A1 hands of her boyfriend and abuses alcohol, but wants to follow her dreams.

This year, a panel of forensics judges were talking about one performance in particular, and wondering who coached the girl. MHS forensics coach Kayla Crook asked them which piece they were talking about. It was “Life as a Fly.” “They were saying, ‘Oh my God, this girl needs to go to school for acting,’” Crook said. “They said they could see her on Broadway someday.

“She brings a lot to the team in her experience and her ability to act. I know she’s been through a lot to get where she is.”

Taitano turned 19 in March, but she’s not graduating a year later than her peers due to grades — in fact, she’s finishing with at least a 3.5 GPA. Her mom enrolled her in first grade too late.

Many students from tough backgrounds don’t enjoy the same successes, and often get lost in the crowd. Holland thinks the $250,000 in scholarships handed out at the assembly hit home with the onlooking juniors, sophomores, freshmen and eighth-graders. Soon after, student services was swamped with kids trying to fit harder classes into their schedules.

think that there is value in legal review by the land use court on those issues.”

La Follette said she couldn’t give the group’s specific arguments to LUBA, since they haven’t been finalized yet.

But she said the group has three major areas of concern about the Curry County decision.

First, ORCA believes that a portion of the property for the proposed golf course qualifies as high value farmland because it was once approved for irrigation.

ORCA’s second main argument revolves around the size of buildings proposed for the golf course, which the group says are too large for property located near the city of Port Orford’s urban growth boundary since they could have a design capacity greater than 100 people.

The third primary area of ORCA’s concern is the impact of the golf course on an unnamed tributary to the Elk River, which is habitat for a few different types of fish that either are threatened or have fragile populations, La Follette said.

In their final order, the commissioners noted that the unnamed tributary is outside the area the developers are leasing from Knapp Ranch, and thus, outside the group’s control.

In the order, the commissioners said the project would be good for Curry County, economically and environmentally.

theworldlink.com/sports ■ Sports Editor John Gunther ■ 541-269-1222, ext. 241

Accuracy matters to geek Saturday morning, I will join a bunch of other runners in Sturdivant Park for the annual Coquille Rotary River Run. And when we start, I know we will run 10 kilometers.

I’m confident in the distance because I measured the course last weekend with longtime race director Marty Stone. The past couple of years, a few of us were convinced the course was too long, and Judge Stone asked me to help him measure it before this year’s race.

So I walked the course pushing a metric wheel (thanks to SWOCC coach Dan Neal for loaning it to us) and Marty drove along to paint the turnaround points for the 5kilometer and 10-kilometer distances.

As it turned SPORTS out, Marty was right on for the 5K turnaround, but the 10K course indeed was too long.

That won’t be the case this year.

Why does it matter? Why JOHN I willing to GUNTHER was walk in the blazing afternoon sun after running my own 10-mile workout Saturday morning?

The same reason that I carried a can of paint while I walked to mark the miles on the course.

I am a geek about knowing my pace during a race and knowing how far I run. If I’m in a 10-kilometer race, I want it to be 10 kilometers.

I’m not competitive in the big scheme of things, but I am competitive against myself. And currently, I’m close to a goal I’ve had for a long time, running under my age for a 10K. My last two races at the distance, the Salmon Creek Run in Powers and the Rhody Run in Florence, I ran in the same minute as my age.

Conditions would have to be good for me to hit that goal Saturday. And I’d have to start at a reasonable pace, not the 6:22 first mile I ran in Florence.

Since I took the time to paint mile markers on the road, I’ll know just where that first mile ends. I like to think the other runners will appreciate it, too.

By the way, I’m a geek about more than just my running.

My regular golfing partner Ron will tell you I’m meticulous about counting every stroke when we are on the course together.

Because of that, the last time we did a summer series reviewing the area’s courses, I was able to total up our pars (not nearly enough) and birdies (very, very few) as well as our bogeys and worse (or much worse).

Relative to others, I’m much less competitive in golf than running. But I always want to know my precise score.

A few years ago, I was golfing at Pacific Dunes by myself. On the shortest par-3 on the resort (aside from the ones on the par-3 Bandon Preserve course and the practice center’s Shorty’s course), I took a 17. I counted every stroke, including shots from several different bunkers and, finally, three putts.

Somewhere, I still have that scorecard. It has a few other big numbers on it, too, in the interest of integrity and accuracy.

Back to the original topic, my running log also includes several races or workouts that didn’t go so well, often accompanied by descriptions of why.

The first year I did the South Coast Half Marathon (my next race after Saturday), conditions were perfect. The next year, the wind came up early on Catching Slough and the last 5 miles were a grudge match (and not a very fast one).

And since I might forget Saturday, here’s an advance thanks to Marty and his crew for their volunteer time helping make the river run a possibility. We can always count on the same faces helping with registration and timing, pointing runners in the right direction at the 5K and 10K turnarounds and manning the midcourse water station.

The same goes for all the other races on the South Coast. All of your efforts are appreciated. At least by this running geek.

California Chrome gallops around the fourth turn with exercise rider Willie Delgado up during a workout at Belmont Park today.

California Chrome faces 10 challengers Triple Crown hopeful is a 3-5 favorite in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday in New York ■

NEW YORK (AP) — Trainer Billy Gowan let out a whoop when Ride on Curlin landed a midpack post for the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes.

You look for any possible edge when facing California Chrome, the 3-5 favorite to become horse racing’s 12th Triple Crown champion, and first in 36 years.

The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner will face 10 rivals on Saturday, not a good omen in the quest for racing’s ultimate prize. This would be the largest Belmont field ever beaten by a Triple Crown winner. The 11 previous Triple Crown champions never faced more than seven rivals in the 11⁄2-mile Belmont, the longest of the three races in the series.

Since Affirmed became the last Triple Crown winner in 1978, three Belmont fields with the same history on the line also drew 11 horses in 1981, 1988 and 2002.

None of that bothers Art Sherman, California Chrome’s trainer “They better worry about me,” he said.

Ride on Curlin is one of the handful of challengers with a realistic chance of pulling an upset. Gowan’s colt is the 12-1 fourth choice from post No. 5.

“I feel good about my post,” Gowan said after the draw Wednesday morning. “My horse

is doing really well. He’s sound. He’s happy.

He’s eating everything, so we’re ready to roll.”

After a trouble-filled trip to finish seventh in the Derby, Ride on Curlin uncorked a strong rally in the Preakness to get second, only 11⁄2 lengths behind California Chrome.

“Hopefully, another five-sixteenths of a mile and we’ll be able to catch him as opposed to the Preakness, but that Chrome is going to be hard to catch,” Gowan said.

Ride On Curlin will have a new jockey for the Belmont in Hall of Famer John Velazquez, a two-time Belmont winner with the filly Rags to Riches (2007) and Union Rags (2012).

Post positions are not a huge factor in the Belmont. In a race this long over a track with sweeping turns, jockeys have plenty of time to strategically position their horses.

California Chrome will break from the No. 2 post under Victor Espinoza. Eleven Belmont winners have come out of that spot in the starting gate, the last being Tabasco Cat in 1994.

“I like No. 2,” Espinoza said. “Hopefully, it’s my lucky number.”

Racing fans looking for an omen will see California Chrome listed No. 2 in the betting program, the same number as 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat, who won the Belmont by a record 31 lengths while setting the track record of 2:24 that still stands.

As in all races, trainers and owners like to avoid the extremes: the inside and outside posts.

Medal Count, 30-1, wound up on the rail. He ran eighth in the Kentucky Derby and skipped the Preakness.

Tonalist, 8-1, got post No. 11 as the third choice in his Triple Crown debut.

“I think we are fine with it,” owner Robert Evans said.

The late developing colt was an impressive winner last month in Belmont Park’s Peter Pan Stakes over a sloppy track. Tonalist has two wins in only four starts.

In contrast, California Chrome has already run 12 times with eight victories. He carries a six-race winning streak into the Belmont.

Wicked Strong was a distant second choice at 6-1 on the morning line and drew post No. 9.

The colt is based at Belmont, and has one win in two previous races at the sprawling track.

Todd Pletcher recently became racing’s leading money-winning trainer and owns two Belmont wins: Rags to Riches and Palace Malice last year.

Pletcher sends out Commissioner, 20-1 after finishing second in the Peter Pan, and 301 shot Matterhorn, fourth in that same race.

Matuszak was second in the Federico Tesio at Pimlico on April 19, making him the most well-rested colt in the race. The 30-1 shot is trained and ridden by Hall of Famers Bill Mott and Mike Smith, respectively.

Ride On Curlin and General a Rod are the only other horses besides California Chrome that will run in all three legs of the Triple Crown. General a Rod, 20-1, was 11th at Churchill Downs and fourth at Pimlico.

Commanding Curve, the Derby runner-up, is 15-1 in his first start since then while Samraat, the lone New York bred in the field, is 20-1.

Kings win Stanley Cup opener in OT LOS ANGELES (AP) — Justin Williams usually saves his greatest postseason heroics for seventh games, not openers.

And for all of his series-saving feats over the years, the two-time NHL champion had never scored an overtime playoff goal.

When Williams got the puck on his stick with an uncontested chance to stake the Los Angeles Kings to an early lead in the Stanley Cup finals, Mr. Game 7 buried the shot and the New York Rangers.

Williams scored 4:36 into overtime after a turnover by Dan Girardi, and Los Angeles beat New York 3-2 Wednesday night in a thrilling series opener.

Kyle Clifford had a goal and an assist, and Drew Doughty made up for an early mistake by scoring the tying goal in the second period.

Jonathan Quick made 25 saves as the Kings moved one victory closer to their second Stanley Cup title in three years — but only after another rally in a postseason full of comebacks.

“We certainly don’t want to make a habit out of this,” Williams

The Associated Press

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist blocks a shot by Los Angeles Kings center Tyler Toffoli during the third period Wednesday. said. “That is a world-class team up there with world-class offense.

There could have been a lot of story lines tonight. They had a breakaway in the end of the third period that (Jonathan) Quick made a great save on. We wouldn’t be sitting here right now. A lot of things (went) awry during the game.”

Game 2 is Saturday at Staples Center.

For the fourth time in their 13 victories during this postseason, the Kings rallied from a multigoal deficit to win. After the Rangers took an early two-goal lead and the Kings erased it, Los Angeles demonstrated what the rest of the Stanley Cup finals might resemble

if New York can’t respond.

The Kings crushed the Rangers into the boards, dominated the puck and controlled the third period, outshooting New York 203. The domination abated slightly in overtime, but Los Angeles pounced when the puck bounced over Girardi’s stick and forced his panicked pass right to Mike Richards, who fed Williams for his eighth goal of the postseason on a high shot to Henrik Lundqvist’s stick side.

“The puck is going to me, I’m trying to make a play up the middle, and it bounced on me,” Girardi said. “I kind of got down to one knee, and I’m just thinking about getting it to the wall. But the guy was there and made a smart play.

You can’t give Justin Williams a shot like that. He’s pretty clutch in the playoffs.”

Lundqvist made 40 saves and nearly stole an early win for the Rangers. Benoit Pouliot scored on a breakaway and Carl Hagelin got a short-handed goal in the first period, but New York spent much of the final two periods on its heels.

Sharapova rallies to reach final at French Open PARIS (AP) — Maria Sharapova made it back into the French Open final for the third straight year, beating Eugenie Bouchard of Canada 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 today.

The seventh-seeded Russian lost the first set for the third straight match, but again managed to turn things around. Sharapova won eight of the last 10 games, and has now won 19 straight three-set matches on clay.

Sharapova completed a career Grand Slam by winning the title at Roland Garros in 2012, but lost to Serena Williams in last year’s final.

Bouchard, a 20-year-old

Canadian seeded 18th at Roland Garros, was playing at the French Open for the only second time.

Last year, she lost to Sharapova in the second round.

In the other semifinal match, fourth-seeded Simona Halep of Romania will face 28th-seeded Andrea Petkovic of Germany.

The final is Saturday.

Sharapova struggled a bit with her serve, double-faulting nine times and getting broken four times. But she made up for her shaky serving with solid groundstrokes, either going for winners or waiting out errors from Bouchard.

Bouchard took the early lead with her first break in the third game of the match, smacking a forehand winner to give herself a 2-1 edge. She quickly made it 3-1 by completing a run of winning 12 of 17 points.

The pair traded breaks early in the second set, and then again later. But Sharapova managed to stay ahead and broke Bouchard for the third time in the set to even the match at one set apiece.

Sharapova served first in the third set, and made her move in the fourth game, converting her third break point to take a 3-1 lead

that she held onto until the end.

Bouchard, who reached the Australian Open semifinals in January, saved four match points before Sharapova won it with a forehand that Bouchard missed.

Sharapova won her first Grand Slam title 10 years ago at Wimbledon. She followed that with major titles at the U.S. Open in 2006 and the Australian Open in 2008. But since she recovered from having right shoulder surgery in 2008, she has vastly improved her clay-court game and has won six of her last eight titles on the red surface.

Legendary coach, manager Don Zimmer dies ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Don Zimmer wasn’t a fixture in baseball forever. It just seemed that way.

He played alongside Jackie Robinson on the only Brooklyn Dodgers team to win the World Series. He coached Derek Jeter on the New York Yankees’ latest dynasty. And his manager once was the illustrious Casey Stengel.

For 66 years, Zimmer was a most popular presence at ballparks all over, a huge chaw often filling his cheek.

Everyone in the game seemed to know him, and love him.

Zimmer was still working for the Tampa Bay Rays as a senior adviser when he died Wednesday at 83 in a hospital

in nearby Dunedin. He had been in a rehabilitation center since having seven hours of heart surgery in mid-April.

“Great baseball man. A baseball lifer. Was a mentor to me,” teary-eyed Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

Zimmer started out as a minor league infielder in 1949, hitting powerful shots that earned him the nickname “Popeye.” He went on to enjoy one of the longestlasting careers in baseball history.

Zimmer played on the original New York Mets, saw his Boston Red Sox beaten by Bucky Dent’s playoff homer and got tossed to the ground

by Pedro Martinez during a brawl.

The Associated Press

Former manager Don Zimmer watches the Tampa Bay Rays batting practice before a 2011 playoff game against the Texas Rangers.

Oh, the tales he could tell.

“Zim was around when I first came up. He was someone that taught me a lot

about the game — he’s been around, he’s pretty much seen everything,” Jeter said after the Yankees lost to

Oakland 7-4. “His stories, his experiences.”

With the champion Yankees, Zimmer was Joe Torre’s right-hand man as the bench coach.

“I hired him as a coach, and he became like a family member to me. He has certainly been a terrific credit to the game,” Torre said in a statement.

“The game was his life.

And his passing is going to create a void in my life ... We loved him. The game of baseball lost a special person tonight. He was a good man,” he said.

A career .235 hitter in the big leagues, numbers could never define all that Zimmer meant to the game. He had

tremendous success, too — his teams won six World Series rings and went to the postseason 19 times.

Zimmer’s No. 66 Rays jersey had been worn recently by longtime Tampa Bay third base coach Tom Foley in tribute — the team wanted that, and MLB decided a coach should wear it.

Foley was crying in the dugout Wednesday night during a 5-4 loss to Miami.

He later remembered the Rays going as a team to see “42,” the movie about Robinson.

“He would talk about it.

He had a lot of stories, a lot of history coming out of him,” Foley said. “He had a lot to give, a lot to offer and he did.”

Astros again have top pick in draft HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros figure they added two players who can be future cornerstones of their franchise with the overall No. 1 pick in the last two Major League Baseball drafts.

Tonight, they’ll have a chance to add another impact player when they once again have the top selection.

But after three 100-plus loss seasons, they are not interested in having the pick of the draft next season.

“That is our aspiration,” general manager Jeff Luhnow said.

They used their first No. 1 pick on high school shortstop Carlos Correa and chose Stanford pitcher Mark Appel first last season.

Houston amateur scouting director Mike Elias said earlier this week that they don’t know who they’ll take with the selection, but that they had narrowed it down to six or seven players.

While it’s an exciting process for Luhnow and his staff, he certainly feels the pressure to get it right.

“You need to hit on 1-1,” Luhnow said. “It’s critical because it’s a big investment.”

A few years ago, the Astros had one of the worst farm systems in the majors.

The restocking began by trading away their veterans and continued with the draft.

Now their minor league system is consistently ranked among the best in baseball.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for our organization to continue to take steps in the right direction,” Luhnow said of the draft. “These players we’ve taken in the last couple of years of the draft have really bolstered our farm system.

They’re a big reason why our farm system is one of the best in baseball right now.”

Correa and Appel are Houston’s top two prospects and Correa is rated by Baseball America as the seventh prospect in all of baseball.

Correa is hitting .328 with five homers and 49 RBIs in SingleA Lancaster. Appel has had

some setbacks and is currently in extended spring training in Florida. But Luhnow isn’t concerned about Appel’s progress and believes he’ll be back on track soon.

Luhnow wouldn’t tip his hand as to whether they’ll take a high school or college player, but his comments seemed to indicate that he likes getting players when they’re young.

Baseball Draft A few things to know about this year’s Major League Baseball draft: WHEN: Starts today at 4 p.m. and continues for 40 rounds over three days, with first two rounds (and two “competitive balance rounds”) from MLB Network Studio in Secaucus, New Jersey. Rounds 3-10 will be held via conference call with teams Friday, and rounds 11-40 Saturday.

FIRST PICK: Houston Astros have No. 1 overall pick for fifth time overall and are first to lead off draft three straight years.

ORDER: Determined by reverse order of finish in overall standings from last season. Teams not allowed to trade picks.

TOP PROSPECTS: California high school LHP Brady Aiken, Vanderbilt RHP Tyler Beede, Florida high school SS Nick Gordon, California high school C-OF Alex Jackson, Oregon State OF Michael Conforto, Texas high school RHP Tyler Kolek, LSU RHP Aaron Nola and North Carolina State LHP Carlos Rodon.

ON THE CLOCK: Teams have 41⁄2 minutes to make picks in first round, and 1 minute in first competitive balance round, second round, second competitive balance round and rounds 3-10. Rest of draft has selections without delays.

SIGNING DEADLINE: Teams must sign drafted players, other than those who were college seniors, by 2 p.m. on July 18.

“Anytime you draft a player out of high school, you have more impact on how they develop, which allows you to customize their development for your benefit,” Luhnow said. “There’s pros and cons, but we do like being able to shape the development ourselves.”

While Houston certainly has benefited most from the top two overall picks, the farm system has also been improved by lower picks they’ve acquired in the draft.

Right-hander Lance McCullers, selected with the 41st pick in the 2012 draft, is rated as Houston’s fourthbest prospect. Their 10thrated prospect, third baseman Rio Ruiz, was selected in the fourth round in 2012.

Toronto’s Melky Cabrera is congratulated after his home run by teammate Adam Lind during the first inning Wednesday.

Lind, Cabrera power Blue Jays to win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Adam Lind doubled twice to drive in three runs and Melky Cabrera added a homer and three hits, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to an 8-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.

Lind’s two-run double off Rick Porcello (8-3) in the sixth put Toronto ahead 3-2, and Aaron Loup got out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the bottom of the inning in relief of R.A. Dickey (6-4).

The AL East-leading Blue Jays added three runs in the eighth and two in the ninth in winning for the 18th time in 22 games.

Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler homered for Detroit, but Kinsler also left the bases loaded twice. The AL Central-leading Tigers left 11 runners on base in their fourth straight loss. Detroit has dropped 12 of 16.

Indians 7, Red Sox 4, 12 innings: Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer with one out in the 12th inning to

give Cleveland a three-game sweep of the defending World Series champions.

The start of the game was delayed by rain until 9:33 p.m., canceling a scheduled ceremonial first pitch by Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel.

The surging Indians have trimmed seven games off first-place Detroit’s lead in the AL Central in 17 days.

Cleveland is within 31⁄2 games and back to .500 for the first time since April 24.

Athletics 7, Yankees 4: Yoenis Cespedes homered twice, Josh Donaldson hit a tiebreaking shot in the seventh inning and Oakland overcame a four-run deficit to beat skidding New York for its fifth straight victory.

Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits, including a three-run homer, but the Yankees matched a season worst with their fourth consecutive defeat.

Orioles 6, Rangers 5: Nick Markakis hit a home run and a go-ahead single, and Chris Davis homered for

Baltimore against his former team just as Nelson Cruz did a day earlier.

Angels 4, Astros 0: Garrett Richards stuck out nine to match his career best over eight excellent innings and Los Angeles snapped a season-worst four-game skid.

Richards (5-2) bounced back from a terrible outing in his last start when he allowed five runs while getting only two outs. It was the shortest non-injury-related start of his career.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Diamondbacks 16, Rockies 8: Miguel Montero drove in a career-high six runs, Paul Goldschmidt hit a go-ahead, three-run double in the eighth inning and Arizona sent Colorado to its sixth straight loss.

The Rockies led 8-5 before the Diamondbacks scored six times in the eighth to reclaim the lead. They were hardly done, adding five more in the ninth to turn a close game into a runaway win. The Diamondbacks tied a season high with 21 hits.

The top five hitters in the lineup each had three hits and combined for 14 RBIs. Nationals 8, Phillies 4: Stephen Strasburg (5-4) struck out 11 in seven innings and Washington kept Philadelphia’s bats quiet in the rain-interrupted game.

Padres 3, Pirates 2: The Padres had only one hit — Everth Cabrera’s bunt single in the first inning — and still beat Pittsburgh thanks to Francisco Liriano’s wildness.

The Padres played ultimate small-ball, scoring on a sacrifice fly, an error and a bases-loaded walk to avoid a three-game sweep. Rene Rivera’s fly to Andrew McCutcheon to end the eighth was the only ball fielded by a Pirates outfielder.

Carlos Quentin’s hit a sacrifice fly in the first, but it was caught in short right by second baseman Josh Harrison.

Giants 3, Reds 2: Michael Morse and Juan Perez homered with two outs in the sixth inning and San Francisco ended Cincinnati’s season-high four-game winning streak.

Cubs 5, Mets 4: Starlin Castro went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and Chicago outlasted New York in a mistake-filled game that featured a combined 13 pitchers.

INTERLEAGUE White Sox 2, Dodgers 1: John Danks (4-5) and three relievers combined on a twohitter and Leury Garcia hit his first major league home run for Chicago.

Garcia led off the third with a homer and Adam Dunn homered to lead off the fourth.

Cardinals 5, Royals 2, 12 innings: Matt Carpenter had a career-high five hits, including the go-ahead double in the 11th inning, and St. Louis snapped a three-game losing streak.

After the Royals rallied with two runs in the ninth, Peter Bourjos worked a oneout walk off Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera (1-2) in the 11th. Carpenter then rapped his double to center field.

Marlins 5, Rays 4: Donovan Solano hit a threerun homer off David Price to help Miami extend Tampa Bay’s longest losing streak in nearly five years to nine games. It is the secondlongest losing streak in the major leagues this season.

Casey McGehee had an RBI single for the Marlins, who won the first two games of a four-game home-andhome series in Miami, including Tuesday’s 1-0 win on a bases-loaded walk.

The sputtering Rays, coming off an 0-8 trip that was the worst in team history, tumbled 14 games under .500 at 23-37 — the secondworst record in baseball. The last time they were this far below the break-even point was the end of 2007, the final season they were called the Devil Rays.

Twins 6, Brewers 4: Oswaldo Arcia drove in four runs, including the go-ahead run in the seventh inning to lead Minnesota to its seventh win in its last eight games against Milwaukee.

Aramis Ramirez returned from the disabled list after missing 21 games with a strained left hamstring to wallop a three-run homer that tied the game at 4 in the seventh.

Mariners 2, Braves 0: Hisashi Iwakuma (4-2) combined with two relievers on a six-hit shutout and streaking Seattle completed a twogame sweep.

Cole Gillespie and Kyle Seager hit run-scoring singles. Seattle has won five straight, matching its longest winning streak of the season.

First-time partners win title Groenefeld and Rojer battle back from a set down in mixed doubles final at French Open ■

PARIS (AP) — Jean-Julien Rojer of the Netherlands and Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany won the mixed doubles title at the French Open by defeating eighth-seeded Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia and Julia Goerges of Germany 4-6, 6-2, 10-7 on Thursday.

Rojer was playing his first Grand Slam final while Groenefeld won the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon with Mark Knowles of the Bahamas in 2009.

“I gained a friend this week. I lost one, because I had to tell some other player that I’m not playing with her,” Rojer said. “So I hope she understands, especially now. But I apologized like 18 times to her.”

Rojer and Groenefeld were teaming up for the first time.

“Actually, I was asking around,” Groenefeld said. “No one wanted to play with me, and then he said yes.”

They saved three match points in the semifinal against Yaroslava Shvedova of

The Associated Press

Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Jean-Julien Rojer hold their trophy after winning the mixed doubles final at the French Open today.

Kazakhstan and Bruno Soares of Brazil on Wednesday.

Zimonjic and Goerges took the opening set when the Serb hit a forehand return winner off Rojer’s serve.

Rojer and Groenefeld evened the match as Goerges dropped serve twice in the second set. They won four straight points in the final-set champions tiebreaker to lead 5-2 before clinching the victory when Goerges netted a backhand volley.

“For Julia, it was difficult to get into the match. For sure, it was difficult because it was her first (major) final,” Zimonjic said. “Anna-Lena, she has

more experience. She played already finals at Wimbledon, so I’m sure that’s what helped her a lot there.”

Zimonjic won the mixed doubles title at the French Open in 2006 and 2010 with Katarina Srebotnik of Slovenia.

In the semifinals, Groenefeld and Rojer had to rally after losing the first set to beat Yaroslava Shvedova and Kazackhstan and Bruno Soares of Brazil 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 10-5.

Goerges and Zimonjic, meanwhile, won their semifinal match 6-2, 6-2 over Timea Babos of Hungary and Eric Butorac of the United States.

PARIS (AP) — Briefly, and only briefly, Rafael Nadal was in a difficult spot in the French Open quarterfinals.

For the first time in this year’s tournament, the eight-time champion dropped a set.

And this had to be on Nadal’s mind: His opponent, David Ferrer, could present real problems. Not only is Ferrer ranked No. 5, and not only was he the runner-up at Roland Garros a year ago — to Nadal, of course — but he also beat Nadal on red clay the last time they played each other.

So how did Nadal handle this test? Perfectly. From late in the second set, he won 10 games in a row, and 13 of 14 the rest of the way, to come back and beat Ferrer 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, 6-1, setting up a semifinal Friday against Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.

“At the beginning,” Nadal acknowledged, “David was playing with a higher intensity than me.”

But once Nadal made a key adjustment — deciding to dispense with his surprisingly off-target backhand as much as possible and instead do whatever he could to use his topspin-heavy forehand — he took over.

After committing 28

unforced errors across the windy first two sets, Nadal had zero in the third, and only three in the last.

“When I was able to hit with my forehand,” Nadal said, “I felt that I was in control.”

Ferrer, for his part, said that in the latter stages,“I lost my concentration, my focus.”

It was Nadal’s 33rd consecutive win at the French Open and improved his record in the event to 64-1. His only loss at the tournament came to Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009.

The Spaniard, who turned 28 on Tuesday, is not used to facing much in the way of hardship at Roland Garros.

So Nadal took what he was able to do against Ferrer as a good sign.

“At the end of the day, I am rather happy to have been able to turn the situation around,” said Nadal.

The route Murray took during his 6-4, 6-1, 4-6, 1-6, 6-0 victory over No. 23 Gael Monfils of France was far more circuitous, finishing right on the cusp of dusk after 9:30 p.m. In front of a crowd loudly pulling for Monfils, Murray was terrific at the outset, mediocre in the middle, then closed on a high.

Durant is unanimous pick for All-NBA team THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

Miami guard Ray Allen warms up during practice on Wednesday in San Antonio. Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs is tonight.

NBA Finals rerun starts tonight SAN ANTONIO (AP) — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade can point to statistics showing just how close the 2013 NBA Finals were.

Tim Duncan doesn’t need them.

He can’t forget the way his San Antonio Spurs lost, especially since every replay brings another painful reminder. The Spurs were on the verge of celebrating a fifth title in Game 6, and just two nights later were congratulating the Miami Heat on their second straight crown.

The Spurs wanted a rematch, and so did basketball fans. It begins tonight in San Antonio.

“I think it’s great that these two franchises have this opportunity in back-toback years to compete for a championship,” Wade said Wednesday. “Last year was an unbelievable series and ... it went down to the very end.

We won the series by a total of five points, you know?

That’s how close it was. But it was a very even series. I think this year it could be another great series.”

From Tony Parker’s circus shot that stole Game 1 for the Spurs, to Ray Allen’s 3-

pointer that saved Game 6 for the Heat, to James’ jumper that put away Game 7, almost every contest provided a new highlight. It deserved an encore, just like when the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers seemed to pick up right where they left off in the 1980s.

The NBA hasn’t had a finals rematch since 1998, when Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls beat Utah for the second straight season.

San Antonio is considered a slight favorite this time, perhaps a little deeper, healthier and better than it was last year, and owning the homecourt advantage this time.

The Spurs don’t need to change much to change the result. They outscored the Heat 684-679 over seven games, and there were 47 ties and 42 lead changes, according to STATS. “If you look at the numbers, the lead changes, the ties and the points in that series, it’s almost even,” James said. “So we did our part, they did their part.

“Both teams put themselves in a position to win an NBA championship, and we just happened to make one or

two more plays to win it.”

Duncan, a three-time NBA Finals MVP who had been 4 for 4 at this stage, wasn’t on the floor when the Spurs couldn’t come up with a rebound just before Allen’s shot. He then missed a shot and follow attempt from right in front of the basket in the final minute of Game 7 with San Antonio trailing by two. Not even getting back to the finals again with the league’s best record can make him forget.

“It lasts. I have a very good memory, especially for my misses and losses. You keep those, you learn from them and you hope to change them next time,” Duncan said.

“That stuck with me and obviously it’s always in the back of my mind, and every time I see anything to do with that, it pops right back in.”

James had similar regrets in his first finals with Miami in 2011, but it’s been all smiles since. The Heat are the first team to play in four straight finals since Boston from 1984-87, and can become the first three-time champion since the Lakers more than a decade ago.

But their focus is only on

winning the next title, not reminiscing about the last couple.

“Last year is last year and we’re excited about it, but this trophy this year belongs to nobody,” James said. “It’s up for grabs.”

Both teams have reason to think they will win it. Wade is much healthier than last year, when he needed extensive treatment before Game 7, and the Heat have been able to get him extra rest by losing just three games in the first three rounds.

The Spurs’ Manu Ginobili is also in much better shape this year and Patty Mills has emerged as an effective point guard off the bench, giving San Antonio options if Parker is slowed by the sore left ankle that knocked him out of Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.

It’s the sixth finals for the Spurs since 1999 and Miami’s fifth in nine years, but both face uncertain futures. Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich could be near the end of their run together.

James, Wade and Bosh can all become free agents this summer.

Sterling won’t fight sale of Clippers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Donald Sterling is leaving without a fight.

He is dropping his plans to sue the NBA, leaving only approval by the league’s owners for Steve Ballmer to become the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Sterling agreed Wednesday to sign off on the $2 billion sale to the former Microsoft CEO, bringing the possibility of a resolution to weeks of rumors, uncertainty and looming legal action.

The agreement hadn’t been officially signed Wednesday afternoon, according to an individual with knowledge of the negotiations who wasn’t authorized to discuss them publicly. But Donald Sterling’s attorney, Maxwell Blecher, said he “has made an agreement with the NBA to resolve all their differences.”

Sterling gave his consent to a deal that was negotiated by his wife, Shelly Sterling, to sell the team, Blecher said.

Representatives for Shelly Sterling and the NBA declined to comment.

The agreement was an about face for Donald Sterling, who just last week filed a $1 billion suit against the NBA in federal court alleging the league violated his constitutional rights by relying on information from an “illegal” recording that publicized racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. It also said the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling $2.5 million and that it violated antitrust laws by trying to force a sale. Blecher said that as a result of the agreement, the federal suit will now be dropped.

Sterling’s comments to V. Stiviano included telling her to not bring black people to Clippers games, specifically mentioning Hall of Famer Magic Johnson. They resulted in a storm of outrage from the public and players and even prompted President Barack Obama

to comment on what he called Sterling’s “incredibly offensive racist statements.”

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver ultimately decided to ban Donald Sterling for life and began efforts to force Sterling to sell the team.

For weeks, Donald Sterling said through his attorneys that he would fight the NBA’s decisions to try to force his ouster as the team’s owner. Then last week Shelly Sterling utilized her authority as sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers, to take bids for the team and ultimately negotiate a deal with Ballmer.

Ballmer beat out bids by Guggenheim Partners and a group including former NBA All-Star Grant Hill. Ballmer made more than an hourlong personal visit to Shelly Sterling’s Malibu home last week and laid out his plan. He could be approved quickly, given the league’s familiarity with him.

49ers give Kaepernick big extension SANTA CLARA, Calif.

(AP) — Colin Kaepernick insists he just happened to pull on a pair of socks with dollar bill prints all over them Wednesday morning — before he learned he had struck a new fortune with the San Francisco 49ers.

“I had these on before I found out,” he quipped.

“Luck of the draw.”

In the tattooed quarterback, the Niners have their franchise man for the long haul.

One of the NFL’s most dynamic young playcallers, Kaepernick received a $126 million, six-year contract extension Wednesday that keeps him with the organization through the 2020 season.

The deal includes $61 million in guaranteed money, a person with knowledge of the contract said, speaking on condition of anonymity because

MINNEAPOLIS — Two people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press that Flip Saunders is moving out of the front office to coach the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Saunders was hired last season as president of basketball operations. After the team’s search to replace the retired Rick Adelman was snagged by Kevin Love’s in future uncertain Minnesota, it was determined that Saunders should step in to coach the team.

Plaintiffs in the case, which dates to 2009, contend the NCAA conspired with Electronic Arts and Collegiate Licensing Co. to illegally use their images or likenesses in videogames.

“Under no circumstances will we allow the proposed agreement between EA and plaintiff’s lawyers to negatively impact the eligibility of any student-athlete.not one will miss a practice or a game if this settlement is approved by the court,” the NCAA said late Wednesday. “This proposed settlement does not equate to payment of current student-athletes for their athletic performance, regardless of how it is being publicly characterized.”

But the NCAA isn’t giving everyone a pass.

While acknowledging it hasn’t decided whether to formally object to terms of the settlement, the governing body complained the athletes’ lawyers would be the biggest winner because they’ll collect $15 million.

Another lawsuit, this one brought by athletes against the NCAA, begins Monday in Oakland California. In that case, the players and explayers claim the NCAA the from profited videogames while the players being portrayed received nothing. The athletes are challenging the NCAA’s ban on paying athletes.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Holmoe joins NCAA selection committee

SOCCER Spain enters World Cup with top FIFA ranking

INDIANAPOLIS — BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe is joining the NCAA men’s basketball selection committee. said The NCAA Wednesday that Holmoe will fill the final two years of West Coast Conference Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich’s term.

Zaninovich is taking over as the Pac-12’s chief operating officer next month.

Holmoe was a football star for the Cougars and played on three Super Bowls championship teams with the San Francisco 49ers in the 1980s. He earned a fourth ring as an assistant coach with the 49ers in the 1990s.

Holmoe served as California’s head coach from 1997 through 2001 before returning to his alma mater in July 2001 as an associate athletic director. A little less than four years later, he was promoted to AD. Utah State athletic director Scott Barnes is next year’s committee chairman.

ZURICH — Defending World Cup champion Spain will travel to Brazil as the No. 1 team in the FIFA rankings, and the host nation will kick off as No. 3.

Spain and Germany remain 1-2 in FIFA’s monthly standings, while Brazil leapfrogs No. 4 Portugal.

Argentina and Switzerland both climb two places to Nos. 5 and 6. Colombia drops three to No. 8.

Group D rivals Uruguay, Italy and England are also all in the top 10.

No. 11 Belgium is the lowest-ranked of the seeded World Cup teams.

The United States at No. 13 leads CONCACAF nations. Algeria, at No. 22, is top-ranked in Africa and No. 43 Iran heads Asian confederation teams. Australia, No. 62, is the lowest-ranked team at the World Cup.

NEW YORK — Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant capped his MVP season by being the lone unanimous choice to the All-NBA first team.

Durant was a first-teamer on all 125 ballots, and made the top squad for the fifth time. Miami’s LeBron James got 124 firstteam votes on the way to b e i n g selected for the eighth time, while the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul earned his fourth firstteam selection.

Houston’s James Harden and Chicago’s Joakim Noah are first-time first-team choices.

Saunders will become coach for Timberwolves

COLLEGE SPORTS NCAA won’t penalize had been due to make less atheltes for payouts

The Associated Press

San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick smiles as he answers question during an press conference on Wednesday after he received a new six-year contract extension. terms weren’t disclosed.

The sides had made it a top priority to get a deal done before the start of training camp next month.

“They were able to get it done six weeks earlier than what I think everyone thought,” Kaepernick said.

“I’m very excited to have it done at this point and we don’t have to worry about talks or anything like that moving forward.”

Kaepernick, whose quick ascent to the ranks of the NFL’s elite under center has earned him rock star status,

than $1 million this season.

Now, the 26-year-old Kaepernick instantly becomes one of the league’s richest stars.

“I’m always striving to be in that group. An elite group in the NFL. Not necessarily pay, but as far as a player.

Whatever comes along with that comes along with it,” Kaepernick said. “I’m very grateful for it. ... I don’t think my motivation is moneydriven.”

Since taking over the starting job from Alex Smith two years ago, Kaepernick led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl in 18 years after the 2012 season — losing by three points to Baltimore — and then to the NFC championship game last season, a three-point defeat to the rival and eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA says current college players won’t be penalized if they receive part of the payout from a $40 million settlement with videogame maker Electronic Arts.

Last week, the two sides agreed to a deal to settle a lawsuit that contended the company improperly used the images and likenesses of current and former college players.

If the deal is approved by the court, more than 100,000 athletes including some current players could get paid.

Depending on how many athletes apply for the settlement, the payments could range from as little as $48 for each year an athlete was on a roster to $951 for each year the image of an athlete was used in a videogame.

BASEBALL Cubs, WGN Radio will end their partnership CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs are ending their partnership with WGN Radio, one of the longest such relationships in broadcast history.

WGN Radio president Jimmy de Castro confirmed Wednesday media reports that the Cubs are leaving the station after this season. The radio station has been the Cubs’ radio home for 90 years.

The Cubs say they’ll hold a news conference Thursday at Wrigley Field to announce a long-term broadcast deal with CBS-owned WBBMAM. Cubs announcers Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer are expected to continue calling the team’s games.

De Castro says that parting ways was a difficult decision for the station. But he says the decision was made after the station determined the business deal the Cubs insisted on did not make economic sense for the station, which first broadcast the team’s games in 1925.

BRIDGE Professor Shlomo Benartzi, an expert on various types of behavioral finance, said, “Self-control is not a problem in the future. It’s only a problem now when the chocolates are next to us.”

Keeping the trump suit under control is often a problem of what to do now, at this trick. Today’s deal would trip the unwary or the perennially optimistic. How should South play in four spades after West leads the heart six?

East opened with a textbook vulnerable weak two-bid, promising a

good six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. South made a takeout double, and North cue-bid to indicate at least 12 high-card points. South started showing four-card suits in ascending order, and North raised to game in spades.

South has two losers in the red suits, so at first glance needs to find spades 3-2. However, on closer inspection, declarer will notice that he can discard dummy’s heart losers on his club winners.

Without further thought, but perhaps after eating an orange cream or two, South would win with dummy’s heart ace, cash the two top trumps (getting the bad news), and take his three clubs, discarding dummy’s hearts.

However, when he next plays a diamond, West wins with his ace, draws trumps, and leads a heart, resulting in down four.

Often, when you must make use of a side suit, it is right to play on that suit first. Here, declarer should win the first trick, draw one round of trumps, take his heart discards on the clubs, and play a diamond. Everything is then under control. South loses only two spades and one diamond.
