GMO? They say no
Protest draws big crowd to boardwalk
By Gail Elber, The World
More than 150 people rallied against genetically modified foods Saturday on Coos Bay’s
Boardwalk .
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COOS BAY — More than 150
people gathered Saturday on
Coos Bay’s Boardwalk to show
their disapproval of genetically
modified crops.
The demonstration was part
of an international “March
Against Monsanto,” with rallies
in 436 cities worldwide protesting
genetically modified organisms
in general and agrochemical
producer Monsanto in particular.
Heather Zousel, an organizer
of the Coos Bay march, said she’s
part of a group, Right-To-Know
Coos County, that has been
showing documentaries about
GMO foods and plans to continue
educational efforts by staffing
booths at summer events.
“I’m not convinced that it will
affect our health negatively, but
there’s no research on it,” Zousel
said of genetic modification.
“If it’s so good for us, why are
they fighting it?” she said of proposals
to label GMO foods.

Egyptian
reaches a
goal for
funding
Honoring their memory
BY GAIL ELBER
The World
COOS BAY — Two $150,000 grants
made last week to the Egyptian Theatre
Preservation Association put the
group over the threshold needed for
the city to start restoring the historic
building.
Bob More, the group’s capital campaign
coordinator, said Saturday that
the grants — one from the Ford Family
Foundation, the other from the M.J.
Murdock Trust — increase the association’s
funds to more than $550,000.
That’s enough to get the building
up to code so that it can be reopened
to the public, More said.
But the association hopes to raise
another $250,000 or so to fix more
things in the theater, increasing its
usability for community events.
The two big grants will make the
project more attractive to other funding
sources, More said, since they
increase the likelihood that the project
will be completed in a timely way.
Now that the $550,000 mark has
been hit, More said the city would
likely start preparing this month to
solicit bids for the initial repair work.
City officials were unavailable for

Temporary fix set for
crumpled I-5 bridge
BY MIKE BAKER AND MANUEL VALDES
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Washington state
plans to install within weeks a
temporary fix for an interstate
highway bridge that crumpled
after being hit by a truck, tossing
cars and people into a chilly river
but causing only minor injuries.
Gov. Jay Inslee announced
Sunday that the temporary spans
for the Interstate 5 bridge will be
installed across the Skagit River by
around mid-June, if plans go well.
Barges with equipment to
remove the mangled bridge and
cars in the water arrived at the site
and work was expected to start
during the early hours today, the
state Department of
Transportation said.
Sunday’s announcement came
as investigators used 3D laser scans
to study what remained of the collapsed
bridge.
It also came a day after the
chairwoman of the National
Transportation Safety Board called
Thursday night’s collapse a wakeup
call to the state of safety of the
nation’s infrastructure.
The Washington state collapse,
caused by the truck carrying an
oversize load, fractured one of the
major trade and travel corridors on
the West Coast. The interstate
connects Washington state with
Canada, which is about an hour
north of Mount Vernon, where the
bridge buckled.
After the collapse, semi-trucks,
travel buses and cars clogged local
bridges as traffic was diverted

Americans gather to honor
fallen service members
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Americans planned to gather at
cemeteries, memorials and monuments
nationwide to honor fallen
military service members on
Memorial Day, at a time when
combat in Afghanistan approaches
12 years and the ranks of World
War II veterans dwindle.
President Barack Obama was
expected to lay a wreath today at
the Tomb of the Unknowns at
Arlington National Cemetery
across the Potomac River from
Washington. Earlier in the morning,
he and first lady Michelle
Obama planned to host a breakfast
at the White House with
“Gold Star” families of service
members who have been killed.
In one of several ceremonies
honoring Americans killed in
Afghanistan, the city of South
Sioux City, Neb., planned to
unveil a statue honoring Navy
Petty Officer 1st Class John
Douangdara, a dog handler for
the SEALs killed in a 2011 helicopter
crash. His service dog also
was killed in the crash and is
memorialized beside him in the
statue.
At the American Airpower
Museum on Long Island, N.Y., a
program was planned to honor
Women Air Service Pilots, or
WASPs, who tested and ferried
completed aircraft from factories
to bases during World War II.
Thirty-eight died during the war,
including Alice Lovejoy of Scarsdale,
N.Y., who was killed on
Sept. 13, 1944, in a midair collision
over Texas.
“It’s very important that we
recognize not only their contribution
to American history, but
women’s history,” said Julia Lauria-Blum,
curator of the WASP
exhibit at the museum. “These
women really blazed a path; they
were pioneers for women’s aviation.
And most important, they
gave their lives serving their
country and must be honored like
anyone else on Memorial Day.”
Another wreath-laying ceremony
was planned at Franklin D.
Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park on
the southern tip of Roosevelt
Island in New York City. The park
is a tribute to President Roosevelt’s
famous speech calling for

These bunks are history
■ Chance encounter
salvages historic
Vietnam artworks
BY GAIL ELBER
The World
NORTH BEND — When
Henry Ford said “History is
more or less bunk,” he didn’t
mean the kind of history
that went on display this
weekend at Pony Village
Mall.
In the windows across
from Sears are canvas rectangles
decorated with
drawings and words. Sometimes
profane, always
poignant, they’re a record of
the idle thoughts of young
men bound for battle.
During the Vietnam War,
many soldiers went to Vietnam
on ships, a 20-day voyage.
Some of them whiled
away the empty hours by
lying in their “rack,” or
bunk, and writing and drawing
on the canvas bottom of
the rack above them.
The canvases on display
were taken from the USNS
General Pope. One soldier
immortalized a list of
women’s names, with their
hair colors, alongside an offcolor
poem about Adam and
Eve. Another wrote “Win in
Viet Nam,” to which someone
else appended “Before I
get there.” Someone reproduced
the entire poem “Little
Boy Blue,” by Eugene
Field, which deals with a boy
who leaves his playthings
and never comes back.
Craig Spotts of Coos Bay
learned about this artwork
in the 1990s, when he
worked for the U.S. Department
of Transportation’s
Maritime Administration in
Benicia, Calif. At the time,
much of the U.S. Navy’s
“mothball fleet” of decommissioned
vessels was kept
in Suisun Bay.
“The USS Hornet, an aircraft
carrier, was becoming a
museum,” Spotts said.
“They needed bunks to put
on their ship so that when

Boy Scouts or anyone else
came aboard, they had
places for them to sleep.”
Spotts and a crew of
helpers descended into the
pitch-dark crew quarters of
a mothballed ship to dismantle
the bunks. When his
flashlight struck the bunks,
he saw the doodles, and his
instinct was to preserve
them.
“Take the ones that don’t
have any writing on them,”
he ordered his crew.
During the next five years,
Spotts returned to the ships
several times, taking as
many decorated canvases as
he could carry. After retiring
in 2004, he moved to Grants
Pass, where the Vietnam
Traveling Memorial Wall
paid a visit. Spotts displayed
some of his canvases near
the wall, where they drew
considerable interest. He
also displayed them in Medford.
At one point, representatives
from Texas Tech University
asked him about the
canvases, and Spotts called
an acquaintance in Washington,
D.C. to get permission
to go to Suisun Bay and
harvest more of them. “In
two days, we got 500 racks,”
he said. “They took a bunch
of them to their big museum,
and they were going to
try and track down some of
these guys.”
He hasn’t heard from the
museum in a while, but he
has tracked down some of
the doodlers himself. “I
found Marvin Thompson
and said, ‘I know where you
were Sept. 1, 1967.’ I went
over and got a picture of him
holding the canvas.
“Another guy died of
Agent Orange effects about
two months before I got to
see him.”
Although Spotts went to
Vietnam in 1966-1967 to
provide radio services to the
1st Marine Division, he
never decorated a bunk of
his own. “I served four years
in the Navy, and I spent
three days at sea,” he said.

Washington can’t see the woods for the trees
Our view
A proposed bill for O&C
timber harvests does little
to benefit rural timber
counties.
What do you think?
The World welcomes
letters. Email us at
letters@theworldlink.com.
A common warning to
consumers is: Never send
money to someone who
says you’ve won a sweepstakes.
If you have to pay to
collect your prize, it’s no
prize.
A similar catch afflicts
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s
concept for helping
Oregon’s O&C counties.
Before collecting full shares
of timber revenue from
O&C lands, some of
Oregon’s poorest counties
would have to increase
their property tax rates.
As Wyden put it last
week, “the government will
be most sympathetic to
those who help themselves.”
Wyden seems to have
adopted the viewpoint of
some environmentalist
groups, which think rural
Oregon should pull itself up
by its bootstraps — even if
it has no boots.
This viewpoint ignores a
key piece of history. When
the government absorbed
forests once held by the
Oregon & California
Railroad, 18 Oregon counties
lost forever the opportunity
to tax those lands.
To compensate, Congress
promised them half the
revenue from future logging
on those lands.
The counties prospered
for decades, until curtailed
timber harvests made beggars
of them. Now, to
regain some fraction of
what the government
promised, the counties are
told they must meet new
conditions.
No good.
Maybe Wyden thinks
higher property taxes are
the only way he can sell his
plan to the Democrat-controlled
U.S. Senate. He
must negotiate, after all,
with Eastern senators who
don’t see why Oregon
counties deserve anything
at all.
But Wyden, as chairman
of the Energy and Natural
Resources Committee, is
uniquely positioned to
explain how federal land
ownership strangles timber-dependent
communities.
Keep in mind, revenue
for county governments is
only one reason to expand
timber harvest. A bigger
reason is that a steady supply
of federal timber could
buy a lot of bootstraps.
Wyden says his plan aims
to increase logging, but
that goal also is in doubt,
because Wyden’s plan
would leave the O&C lands
under the yoke of federal
timber policies.
That provision, along
with the property tax
requirement, makes
Wyden’s prospective bill far
less appealing than the one
already proposed by Rep.
Peter DeFazio and two
other Oregon congressmen.
In short, it’s no prize.

STOSSEL

My kids moved out! I have two empty
rooms in my apartment. Maybe I can rent
them? A tourist visiting New York City could
have a different experience, and save hotel
money. I’d make money. Wouldn’t it be great?
No, says the government of my state.
New York recently passed a law making it
very difficult for people to offer short-term
rentals via popular websites like Airbnb and
Roomorama, which connect room-owners
and room-renters. I could be fined $25,000
if I rent to tourists through those services.
New York State Sen. Liz Krueger
defended the law.
“Tenants all over the city are begging
their legislators for help.
They were being harassed
by strangers in the middle
of night entering their
building, moving into the
apartments next door ...
violating the fire code,
the safety code, and
harassing people, sometimes
very aggressively,
out of the buildings.”
Please. Of course some
renters behave badly. But
they can be dealt with by
building owners. There’s no need for authoritarian
governments to ban consenting adults
from renting to each other.
Krueger says that despite these services’
rapid growth, their customers are unhappy.
Jia En Teo, co-founder of Roomorama,
has an explanation for why businesses like
hers are attacked by politicians: “Shortterm
rentals have been growing in popularity
... that has posed competition to hotels.”
At age 26, Teo left a job at Bloomberg
media to start Roomorama. The Hotel
Association of New York says people who
use sites like Roomorama risk their safety.
But despite such fearmongering,
Roomorama hasn’t been squashed. It now
operates in 5,000 cities around the world.
Tourists get to use empty apartments and
pay less. They get a novel experience.
Property owners make money. Win-win!
But Roomorama threatens the status
quo. Hotels and hotel unions don’t like it.
Regulators who issue permits to hotels
don’t like it. So the established businesses,
the insiders, work with friendly politicians
to craft rules that crush the newcomers.
Economists call that process “regulatory
capture.” It happened even during the New
Deal. FDR railed against “the money interests”
and pushed through regulations controlling
what businesses could do, including
establishing a minimum wage, maximum
hours, agreed-upon production levels and
minimum prices for each industry, to eliminate
“cutthroat competition.” Working at
night was forbidden. Government enforcers
made surprise inspections and could seize
control of businesses on the spot.
It turned out that most of those regulations
were shaped by big business itself,
because the established businesses didn’t
want competition, and both business and
regulators like predictability.
Even when regulators mean well — when
they worry about safety or whether customers
get basic services — regulations are based on
the old, familiar ways of doing things, simply
because regulators don’t know anything else.
That’s great for old, familiar firms — but bad
for the innovative startup that wants to try
something different. And bad for consumers
who might have benefitted.
The new idea might be a bad one, but if it
is, it will die on its own. Market competition
will kill it.
But the new idea might be the next
Microsoft. Or Roomorama. Or Lyft, a ridesharing
app that helps people find cars
without having to use (heavily regulated)
local taxi cartels. Like a Roomorama for cars,
Lyft lets most any car owner give people
rides. It, too, faces regulatory opposition.
Something can always go wrong — with
businesses new or old. But unless we allow
innovators and their customers to try new
things, we’ll be stuck in the past.

Usually, on a Sunday afternoon,
there might be a person
from a church or a neighbor and
friend knocking at my door. Not
this time and not the first time
this month.
A stranger showed up on my
front porch asking for work, of
just about any kind, and for payment
of $1 per hour, if that was
all I could afford. Indoor housework
was specified. This gives
me lots of reasons to “ponder”.
Who will work for $1 per hour?
I asked for references, a home
address and a phone number. No
local references, no home
address and a cell phone number
The first American to die in the
American Revolution — the first
to die for a nation that would be
dedicated to the freedom of
humanity — was Crispus Attucks.
He died on March 5, 1770, in the
Boston Massacre. Twenty years
earlier, the Boston Gazette and
Weekly Journal had described him
as “about 27 Years of Age, named
Crispus, 6 feet 2 inches high.”
Future U.S. President John
Adams, defending the British
soldiers in court against charges
of murder, said Attucks lunged
at a British soldier, “and with
one hand took hold of a bayonet,
and with the other knocked the
man down.” Attucks was
African-American.
George Washington needed
Haym Solomon. Working with
Robert Morris, the “financier of
the Revolution,” Solomon raised
$600,000 for the Continental
Army, a King’s fortune — so to
speak. When Washington needed
$20,000 to finance the Battle
for Yorktown, Morris had to tell
him that Congress’s purse was
empty. “Send for Haym
Solomon,” Washington replied.
Solomon raised the $20,000,
and Washington fought the Revolution’s
last battle and won.
Solomon was Jewish-American.
At 18, Lawrence Taliaferro of
Virginia volunteered to fight in
the War of 1812. Rising to the
rank of lieutenant, he survived

to be shutoff in a few days. This
person presented herself as a
homeless and destitute, desperate
person. We talked on my
porch and I kept my door shut
during the “visit.” She referred
to caregiver work, which was
short lived, also.
I feel sad for homeless people,
and especially those who’ve
done the best they could to have
a decent life. What I will not
abide by is someone who misrepresents
themselves to enter
an unsuspecting person’s home
and “collect” more than $1
worth per hour of wages. This
said, because of the demeanor of
the stranger at my door, they
aren’t bashful even though
telling very sad stories of their
personal woes. Asking for

frontier posts until 1819,

made him an Indian
agent. Taliaferro won
the respect and admiration
of Indians for his
“integrity and protection
of the tribes against
corruption.” Taliaferro
was Italian-American.
George Leisenring, a
money, cans and cigarettes seem
their norm, and that’s for no
work.
I’ve lived in Lakeside for 21
years, same address, and have
never experienced this homeless
persons “encounter” before. The
fact that they are so arrogant and
not more than probably 40 years
old just bugs me, and I can’t help
feeling there is something fishy
going on.
No vehicles — walkers only —
tattoos and piercings — no
address — no local references —
$1 per hour for payment of
indoor work — available for work
evenings is their preferences.
This is my uncomfortable

26-year-old from
Philadelphia, was mortally
wounded as his brigade passed
through Baltimore, a hotbed of
confederate sentiment. On April
19, 1861 — seven days after the Civil
War’s opening shots at Fort Sumter
— he was en route with troops to
protect Washington, D.C. He was
overtaken by rioters on the 86th
anniversary of the American Revolution’s
battles of Lexington and
Concord. Leisenring was German-
American.
Brig. Gen. Arthur MacArthur
likely disagreed when Secretary
of State John Hay called the
Spanish-American War “a splendid
little war.” MacArthur’s unit
sustained significant casualties
when he finished what Admiral
Dewey had begun and captured
the Philippine capital of Manila.
The father of Word War II Gen.
Douglas MacArthur, Arthur
MacArthur was Scottish-American.
Robert Taylor was one of 19
men considered essential to ending
World War I. Toward
the end of the war, the
German Army had
tapped American military
communications
and were listening in to
messages of troop movements.
Taylor, who spoke
Choctaw, volunteered as
a “code talker” to transmit
military secrets by
radio and by telephone.
The Germans, prepared
for European languages,
were baffled by the Native American
language.
Some say the tide of battle
turned within 24 hours of the
employment of the code talkers.
The 19 code talkers were not
American citizens. They could not
vote until 1924. Taylor, like all of
them, was Choctaw-American.
Daniel Inouye fought in World
War II. His regiment, the most
decorated of the war, was
awarded eight presidential citations
and 21 Medals of Honor.
Inouye volunteered at 17. He
witnessed the attack on Pearl
Harbor. A Red Cross-trained

Leslie H. Sabo, Jr. died in
Cambodia at age 22. Surrounded,
Sabo threw himself on a
wounded soldier, taking the
brunt of a grenade blast. He provided
covering fire, taking multiple
wounds, until he fell. President

The two Iraq Wars and

Which one of these soldiers is

are. This Memorial Day, let’s
pause and give thanks for each of
them, living and deceased. Let’s
recall FDR’s words: “The principle
on which this country was
founded and by which it has
always been governed is that
Americanism is a matter of the
mind and heart; Americanism is
not, and never was, a matter of
race or ancestry.”

JEANNE were going
PHILLIPS through a
bad period in
our marriage
10 years ago and nearly
divorced.
I told her there is no rational
reason for keeping that much
money in the house. She says
she’s keeping it for an emergency,
and it makes her feel
secure. When I said we should
invest the money,she got upset.
I can’t understand why anyone
would want to keep that
much cash in the house. What’s
your view? — LIVING IN
“FORT KNOX”
DEAR LIVING: To understand
your wife’s motivation,
look back 10 years to the time
when she may have felt she’d
need the money to get a new
start. That’s the “emergency”
the money was salted away for.
I agree that $10,000 is a lot
of cash to keep in the house.
Most of it should be in the bank,
with only a portion in the house
so it will be immediately available
if needed. Unless your wife
feels your marriage is still
shaky, I can’t see why she
wouldn’t compromise. Could
that be her reason?
DEAR ABBY: I am a 15-yearold
girl with a good life. There
are bumps in the road, but they
happen and I accept that. The
thing I worry about is my memaw.
She’s getting very old and
thinks she will be dying soon.
I try to tell her not to think
that way. I really love her and
don’t know what I would do if
she were gone so soon. I go to
her house every summer, winter,
and anytime we’re out of
school.
I need to get a job this summer,
and I don’t know how to
tell my me-maw I won’t be
coming to visit without hurting
her feelings. She is one of those
people who doesn’t show their
emotions like most of my family,
so I know when she sometimes
says it’s OK it really isn’t.
Please tell me what to say to her.

grandmother may be talking
the way she is because of her
age — or she may be concerned
about her health and trying to
prepare you.
It’s time to ask your parents
what is going on with her. If
she’s really sick, you may want
to postpone getting that job
until next summer. If she’s not,
you should explain to Me-maw
that you love her and treasure
the special times you have been
able to spend with her — but as
much as you’d like to, you will
not be able to do it this summer
because you need to get a job.
It’s part of becoming an adult

responsibility and independence.

NEW ORLEANS — Before Cpl. Thomas
“Cotton” Jones was killed by a Japanese
sniper in the South Pacific in 1944, he wrote
what he called his “last life request” to anyone
who might find his diary: Please give it to
Laura Mae Davis, the girl he loved.
Davis did get to read the diary — but not
until nearly 70 years later, when she saw it in
a display case at the National World War II
Museum.
“I didn’t have any idea there was a diary in
there,” said the 90-year-old Mooresville,
Ind., woman. She said it brought tears to her
eyes.
Laura Mae Davis Burlingame — she married
an Army Air Corps man in 1945 — had
gone to the New Orleans museum on April 24
looking for a display commemorating the
young Marine who had been her high-school
sweetheart.
“I figured I’d see pictures of him and the
fellows he’d served with and articles about
where he served,” she said.
She was stunned to find the diary of the
22-year-old machine gunner.
Curator Eric Rivet let her take a closer
look, using white gloves to protect the old
papers from skin oils. It was the first time in
his 17 years of museum work that someone
found “themselves mentioned in an artifact
in the museum,” Rivet said.
The diary was a gift to Jones from Davis.
They had met in the class of ’41 at Winslow
High School. “He was a basketball player and
I was a cheerleader,” she said.
Jones had given her his class ring but they
weren’t engaged, she said. They had dated
through high school. They went to the prom
together.
He made his first diary entry while a private
at Camp Elliott in San Diego, a little less
than a year before he was killed. He described
it as “my life history of my days in the U.S.
Marine Corps ... And most of all my love for
Laura Mae for whom my heart is completely
filled. So if you all get a chance please return
it to her. I (am) writing this as my last life
request.”
A sniper’s bullet between the eyes killed
Jones on Sept. 17, 1944, the third day of the
U.S. assault on the Pacific island of Peleliu, in
Palau.

brief look at a brief life
CHAFFEE, Mo. (AP) —
Cleanup of the collapsed
southeast Missouri highway
overpass continued Sunday,
more than 24 hours after a
cargo train crash led to a
chain reaction.
The crash, which happened
about 2:30 a.m.
Saturday near Chaffee, led to
the derailment of about two
dozen rail cars that smashed
into the bridge’s support pillars.
Seven people in two cars
on the Highway M overpass
in Scott County were
injured, none seriously,
when two 40-foot sections
of the overpass crumpled. All
seven had been released from
an area hospital Saturday.
“The damage is very
extensive,” Mark Shelton,
engineer for the Missouri
Department
of
Transportation’s southeast
region, said Sunday. “We’re
going to end up removing the
entire bridge and completely
replacing it.”
Shelton said the overpass
replacement is estimated to
cost about $3 million, and
the bridge is expected to
reopen in early September.
The overpass, which was
built about 15 years ago, is
used by about 400 to 500
cars a day, mostly between

Japanese had changed their island defense
tactics. Instead of concentrating units on the
beaches and finishing with reckless banzai
charges, the Japanese holed up in bunkers,
trenches, pillboxes and caves — many of
them blasted into the island’s hills and
mountains — that had to be taken one at a
time.
Jones, nicknamed in high school for his
blond hair, was in the 1st Marine Division’s L
Company, 3rd Battalion. He was among
1,794 Americans killed on Peleliu and nearby
islands in a 2 1 ⁄2-month assault that Marine
Maj. Gen. William Rupertus had predicted
would be over in a few days. Another 7,302
Americans were wounded.
An estimated 10,900 Japanese were
killed; 19 soldiers and sailors became prisoners
of war. Another 283 POWs were laborers,
mostly Korean.

Searchers find body of
teen missing in Texas flood
SCHERTZ, Texas (AP) —
Search teams on Sunday
found the body of teenager
who was swept away by
floodwaters as he tried to
swim across a swollen creek
near San Antonio, authorities
said.
Avron Adams, 18, of
Schertz, and a friend got
caught Saturday in the swift
waters of Cibolo Creek after
about half a dozen friends
swam across. One friend held
onto a tree branch and got
out, but Adams did not, officials
said.
David Harris, a
spokesman for Schertz, said
about 5:45 p.m. searchers
located Adams’ body near
the water’s edge. Harris said
Adams’ family has been
notified.
“The body was found
near where the search and
rescue dogs had identified a
scent,” Harris said.
Earlier Sunday, Adams’
father said he was holding
out hope.
“We’re hopeful, but at
this point, you just don’t
know,” his father, Kenneth
Adams, told The Associated
Press as his wife stood nearby.
“It’s very hard. We’re just
keeping the faith.”
The search effort included
helicopters, divers and
rescue teams in inflatable
boats.
The usually dry creek in
Schertz, northeast of San
Antonio, had dropped about
10 feet since Saturday. Other
rivers in the San Antonio area
and surrounding counties
continued to drop after
peaking above the flood
stage, but flood warnings
remained in effect Sunday.
The National Weather
Service issued a flash flood
watch for seven counties
until 6 p.m. Sunday, saying
thunderstorms could produce
heavy rainfall.
Tip led to seizure of
student’s homemade bombs
ALBANY (AP) — The
Benton County district
attorney says a citizen’s tip
last week that a student
planned to set off bombs at
an Oregon school may have
prevented mass murder.
John Haroldson says the
tip led to seizure of six
homemade bombs made by
17-year-old Grant Alan
Acord, a student at West
Albany High School.
The Albany Democrat-
Herald reports investigators
also found checklists, a
detailed plan and a diagram
of the high school.
Haroldson says the documents
included a date when
the youth might have used
the bombs in a plan modeled
after the 1999 incident at
Colorado’s Columbine High
School shooting that left 13
dead and 21 wounded.
Girl in good condition
after fall from window
PORTLAND (AP) —
Clackamas Fire District officials
say a 4-year-old girl
was injured when she fell
from a third-story window
at an apartment complex.
The girl luckily landed on
bark mulch instead of pavement.
Fire spokesman Brandon
Paxton says the girl was
taken to the hospital late
Saturday afternoon, where
she was listed in good condition.
Paxton says Clackamas
firefighters responded to five
incidents of children falling
from upper-story windows
last year. He urges parents of
very young kids to install
child safety stops on windows
that pose a risk.

EVERYDAY
CHEAPSKATE
Mary
Hunt
Emotional intimacy is
the key to a healthy marriage
and necessary for
developing financial harmony.
T h e
secret to
creating
e m o -
tional
intimacy
is for
each of
you to
meet the
n e e d s
that are
m o s t
important
to
t h e
other. Emotional intimacy
is key because it produces
authentic trust and respect.
Studies show that married
people who behave as
true financial partners tend
to do better financially and
emotionally. So if you
haven’t already, you and
your spouse need to make a
commitment to each other
to become equal financial
partners in your marriage.
This can be a verbal or written
commitment, whichever
suits you best. For some
spouses, this step of commitment
will mean giving
up control. For others, it
will require them to get
involved.
Begin thinking of the
financial aspects of your
marriage as a business
rather than an extension of
your relationship. As business
partners you:
1. Have trust in and
respect for each other’s
unique abilities, knowledge
and skills.
2. Bring individual
strengths and abilities to
the partnership.
3. Have no secrets. Each
of you is fully aware of the
other’s activities and of the
state of their business.
4. Do not make independent
decisions, and
when there is a disagreement
or conflict, you negotiate
and compromise until
you reach a solution that
both of you can agree to
enthusiastically.
5. Make decisions with
the best interest of the
partnership in mind and are
fully committed to the success
of the partnership.
Think of all the different
hats you wear in your daily
life; even the different hats
you wear in your marriage.
You need to know when to
put on your financial partner
hat, which signals that
it’s time to shift into money
management mode.
I suggest that in the
beginning you schedule
weekly business meetings,
at which time you wear
your non-emotional
money-management hats. I
know that the idea of oneon-one
meaningful conversations
with all electronic
devices turned off and the
door closed can be threatening
for some couples.
And it can be particularly
difficult if money issues
have turned into barriers
that are repelling rather
than attracting the spouses.
Some are reluctant to
converse on an emotional
level. That may be part personality
trait, but more
likely it’s wrapped up in fear
— fear of being known, fear
of opening up, fear of being
found out.
These days there seem to
be studies relating to just
about any topic you can
possibly imagine. And sure
enough, there’s a study that
says about 70 percent of all
c onflicts in marriage
resolve themselves by simply
talking about them.
Communication is the
secret, and time spent
together cannot help but
affect your relationship in
ways you never dreamed
possible.
By opening the door to
the most private place in
your heart and soul and
taking the risk of letting
your spouse in, you will be
taking a huge step toward
the kind of intimacy that
promotes financial harmony.

Kenya: U.K.
suspect had
2010 arrest
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A
suspect in last week’s savage
killing of a British soldier on a
London street was arrested in
Kenya in 2010 while apparently
preparing to train and
fight with al-Qaida-linked
Somali militants, an antiterrorism
police official said.
Michael Adebolajo, who
was carrying a British passport,
was then handed over to
British authorities in the East
African country, another
Kenyan official said Sunday.
The information surfaced
as London’s Metropolitan
Police said specialist
firearms officers arrested a
man Sunday suspected of
conspiring to murder 25-
year-old British soldier Lee
Rigby. Police gave no other
details about the suspect,
only saying he is 22 years old.
The arrest brought to nine
the number of suspects who
have been taken into custody
regarding Rigby’s horrific
killing in London. No one has
been charged in the case.
The British soldier, who had
served in Afghanistan, was run
over, and then, witnesses say,
was stabbed with knives by
two men in the Woolwich area
in southeast London on
Wednesday afternoon as he
was walking near his barracks.
Adebolajo, 28, and
Michael Adebowale, 22, are
the main suspects in the
killing and remained under
armed guard in separate
London hospitals after police
shot them at the scene.
In 2010, Adebolajo was
arrested with five others near
Kenya’s border with Somalia,
Kenya’s anti-terrorism police
unit chief Boniface Mwaniki
told The Associated Press.
Police believed Adebolajo was
going to work with Somali
militant group al-Shabab.

TV station shows a man

arrested under a different
name, and taken to court
before being handed to
British authorities.

to British security agents in
Kenya, and he seems to have

When asked whether
British security agents and
embassy officials had handled
Adebolajo in Kenya, a
British Foreign Office
spokeswoman said in a brief
statement: “We can confirm
a British national was arrested
in Kenya in 2010. The Foreign
and Commonwealth
Office provided consular
assistance as normal for
British nationals.” She did
not elaborate and said she
did not have information
about what had happened to
Adebolajo then.
Rigby’s grieving family
visited the scene of his killing
in London on Sunday, pausing
for a few moments in
reflection and laying flowers
to join the hundreds of floral
tributes already left at the
nearby Woolwich Barracks
by well-wishers.
The victims were part of an
extended family that lived in a
ground-floor, east Anchorage
apartment with their granddaughter
and her husband,
who are the parents of the
toddler and her 4-year-old
brother. The younger couple’s
90-year-old great-grandmother
also lives in the apartment
and was at home during
the incident.
Police said the younger
couple, who are in their 20s,
went to a movie Saturday
night with their son and left
the 2-year-old in the care of
Chea and Sreap.
The parents of the child
and their son returned
shortly before 8 p.m. and
found the door locked from
the inside.
They told police they
forced their way in through a
window and discovered the
bodies of Chea and Sreap.
A man in his 20s, they
said, was naked in a bedroom
with their daughter.
The woman called 9-1-1
and police dispatchers heard
screaming over the phone.
The woman reported a man
had broken into her home
and killed her grandmother,
Sreap. The woman described
the man as naked with several
tattoos.
Israel’s president calls
for return to peace talks
SOUTHERN SHUNEH,
Jordan (AP) — Israel’s president
on Sunday urged Israeli
and Palestinian leaders to
overcome differences and
resume peace negotiations,
saying the sides could not
afford “to lose this opportunity.”
President Shimon Peres
issued his call ahead of a
gathering of Mideast leaders
on the sidelines of a conference
hosted by the Genevabased
World Economic
Forum on the shores of the
Dead Sea in Jordan.
Sunday’s conference
included a rare face-to-face
meeting between Israeli and
Palestinian leaders, with the
participation of U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry, who
has devoted much of the past
two months to restarting
long-stalled peace talks.
“We shouldn’t lose the
opportunity because it will
be replaced by a great disappointment,”
Peres told
reporters in Jordan. “For my
experience, I believe it’s possible
to overcome it. It doesn’t
require too much time.”
Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas agreed.
“Enough is enough. A lot
of our young people have
started to lose confidence in
the two-state solution,” he
said to a loud applause from
an audience of more than
1,000 business and government
leaders from 23 countries
worldwide.
Japanese politician’s
rape remarks enflame
TOKYO (AP) — An outspoken
Japanese politician
apologized today for saying
U.S. troops should patronize
adult entertainment businesses
as a way to reduce sex
crimes, but defended another
inflammatory remark
about Japan’s use of sex
slaves before and during
World War II.
Osaka Mayor Toru
Hashimoto, who is also the
co-head of an emerging
WORLD
D I G E S T
nationalistic party, said his
remarks two weeks ago rose
from a “sense of crisis” about
cases of sexual assaults by
U.S. military personnel on
Japanese civilians in Okinawa,
where a large number
of U.S. troops are based under
a bilateral security treaty.
“I understand that my
remark could be construed as
an insult to the U.S. forces and
to the American people” and
was inappropriate, he said at a
news conference at the Foreign
Correspondents’ Club of
Tokyo. “I retract this remark
and express an apology.”
Hashimoto had created an
uproar with comments to
journalists two weeks ago
about Japan’s modern and
wartime sexual services.
They added to recent anger
in neighboring countries
that suffered from Japan’s
wartime aggression and have
complained about the lack of
atonement for atrocities
committed during that time.
Obama: Gov’t with Okla.
‘every step’of the way
MOORE, Okla. (AP) —
President Barack Obama visited
tornado-devastated
Moore, Okla., Sunday, consoling
people staggered by
the loss of life and property
and promising that the government
will be behind them
“every step of the way.”
“I’m just a messenger
here,” the president said,
saying “folks are behind you”
across America. He offered
moral and monetary support
in the wake of the monstrous
EF5 tornado that killed 24
people, including 10 children,
last Monday afternoon.
Standing with Gov. Mary
Fallin and other state and
federal officials, Obama
noted a substantial rebuilding
job ahead and said that
“our hearts go out to you.”
Sales of Girl Scout
camps create turmoil
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) —
When it came time to draw
up a budget, one of Iowa’s
regional Girl Scout councils
reviewed its programs and
made a proposal that would
have been unthinkable a
generation ago: selling its
last four summer camps.
Troop leader Joni Kinsey
was stunned. For decades, the
camps had been cherished
places where thousands of
young girls spent summer
breaks hiking, huddling
around campfires and building
friendships. Kinsey, whose
daughter learns to train horses
at camp, immediately started
a petition to fight the idea.
Other scouting alums and
volunteers have taken up the
cause, too, packing public
meetings and sending letters
to newspapers. Then they
filed a lawsuit.
Nationwide, Girl Scout
councils are confronting
intense opposition as they
sell camps that date back to
the 1950s and earlier. Leaders
say the properties have
become a financial drain at a
time when girls are less
interested in camp. Defenders
insist the camping experience
shaped who they are
and must be preserved for
future generations.
Pro-camp activists have
boycotted cookie drives, held
overnight camp-ins outside
council offices, filed legal
actions and tried to elect
sympathetic volunteers to
governing boards.
The other side has
responded with its own
aggressive tactics. At public
meetings, some Girl Scout
councils have hired facilitators
to tightly manage the agenda
and security guards to watch
over protesters. Others have
used parliamentary tactics to
call protesters out of order.
Both sides insist they want
what’s right for the girls, but
compromise is hard to find.

WWII vet receives long-lost dog tag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Irving Mann has been in
business long enough to be
skeptical of out-of-the-blue
offers that seem too good to be
true.
So the founder of Mann’s
Jewelers in Rochester was
cautious but intrigued when
an email arrived at his store
from a woman wondering if
he could possibly be the Irving
Mann whose military tag she
said she’d found a day earlier
in her barley field in France.
After all, the World War II
veteran didn’t recall losing a
dog tag after landing in Normandy
with the 90th Infantry
division on D-Day and fighting
across Nazi-occupied
France.
“It had to be false,” thought

Mann, who’d recently celebrated
his 88th birthday.
“You hear of so many
scams going on, that somebody’s
going to fake it, do
some research and say, ‘I
would be willing to return
your dog tag. However, it will
cost you X number of dollars.”’
A series of email exchanges
between Mann’s daughterin-law,
Charlotte Mann, and
the French woman, Sophie
LaFollie, eventually convinced
the Manns she was for real.
For one thing, LaFollie relayed
the serial number from the
aluminum tag, a number
Mann has never forgotten:
42023412.
“She specifically said, ‘I’m
not interested in any kind of
reward. The only thing I’m
interested in is what happened
to you that you would
have lost your dog tag where I
found it,”’ Mann said.
Then the beat-up pendant
arrived in the mail, leaving
Mann to marvel at its journey
and recall his own through the
village near Rethel, France,
where his outfit had dug in for
a few days’ rest and traded
Spam and cigarettes for fresh
eggs with two young women
in a farmhouse nearby.
“Any (doubting) thoughts I
may have had disappeared
immediately when I had the
dog tag in my hand,” Mann
said. LaFollie included a picture
of her farmhouse, where
her grandmother and aunt
had lived during the war.
“Memories came flooding
back,” the veteran said,
remembering how he’d
scrambled those eggs in his
steel helmet, stirring with his
bayonet.
LaFollie, 36, told the family
she spotted the glinting dog
tag among the stalks in her
barley field in Parny-Resson, a
village next to Rethel on April
22. She knew from her family
that American soldiers had
been through during the war.
“I felt like a little girl finding
a treasure,” LaFollie said in
a statement relayed by the
Manns. “It was really exciting
to make such a find and then
look for its owner.”
Online, she found a 2011
article from the Democrat and
Chronicle of Rochester which
mentioned Mann’s Jewelers,
leading LaFollie to the company’s
website and email address.

they will resist insecticides
and herbicides, add nutritional
benefits or otherwise

Most corn, soybean and
cotton crops grown in the
United States today have
been genetically modified.
But critics say genetically
modified organisms can lead
to serious health conditions
and harm the environment.
The use of GMOs has been
a growing issue of contention
in recent years, with health
advocates pushing for
mandatory labeling of genetically
modified products even
though the federal government
and many scientists say
the technology is safe.
According to the World Health
Organization, the European
Union requires GMO labeling
and has had a moratorium on
the approval of new GMO
crops since 1998.
Monsanto Co., based in
St. Louis, said that it respects
people’s rights to express
their opinion on the topic,
but maintains that its seeds
improve agriculture by helping
farmers produce more
from their land while conserving
resources such as
water and energy.
The Food and Drug
Administration does not
require genetically modified
foods to carry a label. But
organic food companies and
some consumer groups have
intensified their push for
labels, arguing that the modified
seeds are floating from
field to field, contaminating
traditional crops. The anti-
GMO groups have been bolstered
by a growing network of
consumers who are wary of
processed and modified foods.
The Biotechnology
Industry Organization, a lobbying
group that represents
Monsanto, DuPont & Co. and
other makers of genetically
modified seeds, has said that it
supports voluntary labeling
for people who seek out such
products. But it says that
mandatory labeling would
only mislead or confuse consumers
into thinking the
products aren’t safe, even

Although the U.S. Senate
this week overwhelmingly
rejected a bill that would allow
states to require labeling of
genetically modified foods,
several state-level labeling
proposals are in the works.
California voters in
November rejected a proposal
to label GMO foods, but state
legislatures in Vermont and
Connecticut approved GMO
labeling this month. In addition,
supermarket retailer
Whole Foods Markets Inc. has
said that all products in its

such by 2018.
At the federal level, Sen.

Indianapolis 500
Kanaan
captures
first title
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tony
Kanaan had the car. He had the
nerves. And he finally had the
luck.
Now he has the trophy, too.
Kanaan won his first
Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, ending
12 years of frustration with a
crowd-pleasing victory for the
popular Brazilian driver.
After coming so close so many
times, he couldn’t help but feel
nervous on that long, anticlimactic
final lap under the yellow caution
flag.
“I started to check everything
in my car,” he said. “Do we have
enough fuel? Four wheels? You
kind of go crazy. The pace car guy,
whoever it was, this guy is actually
celebrating. I’m like, ‘Go! Can you
go quicker? It’s going to be a long
lap if you keep doing that.’”
Kanaan is Indy’s hard-luck
loser no more. He is its champion
at last, with a dose of good luck for
a change.
“I have to say, the last lap was
the longest lap of my life,” Kanaan
said.
It was one of Indy’s most popular
victories. As the crowd roared
its approval, Kanaan flipped up his
visor to wipe away tears. Then in
Victory Lane he gave his bride of
two months a long kiss and poured
the celebratory winner’s bottle of
milk over his head.
The losers were pleased with
the outcome, evidenced by a scene
similar to rivals lining up to congratulate
Dale Earnhardt when he
finally won the Daytona 500 on his
20th try. Dario Franchitti, whose
crash brought out the race-ending
caution, stood grinning by his
crumpled car, two thumbs up as
Kanaan passed under yellow.
“When I saw who was leading,
it cheered me up a little bit,” said
Franchitti, last year’s winner.
“He’s a very, very deserving winner.”
The fans thought so, too,
standing on their feet, screaming,
“TK! TK! TK!” as he and team
owner Jimmy Vasser went by during
the traditional victory lap. It
felt magical to Kanaan, as if he’d
given the crowd at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway a gift.
“It means a lot to me because so
many people, I could feel that they
wanted me to win, and it’s such a
selfish thing to do because what
are they getting from it?” Kanaan
said. “I’m the one who gets the
trophy. I believed that this win was
more for people out there than for
me.
“I wanted it all my life, but over
the years I was kind of OK with the
fact that I may never have the
chance to win.”
His chance came at the end of a
history-making race at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
where Kanaan knew he had to
pounce at the green flag for the
final restart with three laps to go.
He did, zipping inside leader Ryan
Hunter-Reay to roar into the lead
— where he wanted to be in case
another caution came out.
“I knew I had to get the lead on
the restart because it could be a
yellow, which happened to me
plenty of times here, and it did,”
Kanaan said. “How funny is life?
The yellow was my best friend.”
Kanaan had his fair share of
chances to win at Indy, but came
up short time and time again. He
was leading when the rain came in
2007, only to lose to Franchitti
when the race resumed.
In all, Kanaan went into
Sunday’s race with 221 laps led at
Indy — more than any non-winner
except Michael Andretti and Rex
Mays — but his second-place finish
to Buddy Rice in 2004 was the
closest he had come to victory. He
had a pair of third-place finishes,
including last year — again to
Franchitti.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana
Pacers didn’t see this version of Udonis
Haslem coming. There was no reason to.
Haslem, a veteran forward who had
scored in single digits in six of his previous
seven playoff games, finished with 17 points
on 8-for-9 shooting to help the Miami Heat
beat the Pacers 114-96 in Game 3 of the
Eastern Conference finals Sunday night.
The Heat took a 2-1 lead in the series and
regained homecourt advantage with Game 4
set for Tuesday night in Indianapolis.
Haslem went a quiet 1-for-7 from the
floor in the first two games of the series, but
he looked for his shot early and often in
Game 3. His mid-range jumpers constantly

Marshfield girls place second at state
■ Summit holds off the
Pirates for seventh
straight Class 5A title
BY JOHN GUNTHER
The World
EUGENE — Marshfield’s girls
pushed Summit to the limit in the
Class 5A state track meet, aided by
a pair of individual state titles, but
the Storm weathered the Pirate
attack and Summit claimed its
seventh straight title Saturday.
Marshfield got wins by Lauren
McGowne in the 100 hurdles and
Maddie Metzler in the 100 and
second-place finishes in the
4x100 relay and in the pole vault
by Mareyna Karlin, along with
assorted other medals throughout
the day.
But in the end, Summit had
enough to claim another crown.
The team race came down to
the final relay, though the Storm
had taken the lead with two placers
in the 300-meter hurdles.
Marshfield’s hopes quickly
faded in the relay as Summit
grabbed the early lead and the
Pirates fell behind.
Summit’s second-place finish

in the final race was enough to give
the Storm 81.5 points for the meet.
Marshfield, which did not finish in
the top eight in the relay, finished
with 67.
Still, the Pirates were upbeat
about their two-day run at state.
“Summit’s a great team and
they’re really strong,” Metzler
said. “They deserve it.”
And the Pirates had a lot to be
proud about, too.
“This has been the best meet of
my high school career,” said
McGowne, who won the long
jump Friday and the hurdles
Saturday. “I don’t care about the
4x4 except that every single one of
us had a smile on our face.”
McGowne won the high hurdles
in 15.29 seconds, with teammate
Emily Moe fifth in 15.76.
“Our goal was to go 1-2,”
McGowne said. “When I crossed
the finish line, she was right there.
“It doesn’t feel like a win of my
own. It was a win for both of us.”
Metzler, meanwhile, won the
EUGENE — A little extra pressure was a
good thing for Wyatt Cunningham at Hayward
Field on Saturday, while Siuslaw’s strong distance
tradition was enough to carry the Vikings
to the Class 4A team title.
Cunningham, the defending state champion,
trailed most of the high jump competition
after an early miss at 5 feet, 10 inches, and still
trailed when Cascade’s Patrick Bladorn cleared
6-5 on his first try.
“It was good pressure,” said Cunningham, a
junior for North Bend. “I was nervous, but it
pushed me to do better.”
Cunningham easily cleared the bar at 6-5 on
his first try and then was well over it at 6-6.
When Bladorn missed all three of his tries at
that height, Cunningham was a repeat state
champion.
“When I made 6-5, I knew I was going higher,”
Cunningham said.
He attempted 6-8.25, which would have
been a new personal record, but didn’t get any
good attempts. Still, he was all smiles while he
accepted congratulations from coaches, family
members and friends in the bright morning
sunshine.
“Back-to-back feels awesome, especially
since I’m a junior,” Cunningham said.
He attributed the miss at 5-10 to “dead legs
and nerves,” but got stronger as the competition
went on.
“Six-five and 6-6 were my best jumps,” he
said.
Cunningham came back to also finish second
in the 200 meters, capping a big turnaround
from his day Friday, when he failed to
make the final in either the 400 or long jump.
“That was good,” said Cunningham, who
finished in 22.45, behind only winner Jeremy
Desrosiers of La Pine. “My goal was to stay with
Jeremy. He pulled me along.”
The Bulldogs finished in the top 10 in the
team race, scoring 30.5 points over the two days.
North Bend’s other points came from Cam
Lucero in a busy one-hour period in the middle
100 in 12.47, with Jestena Mattson
of Hood River Valley a close second
in 12.51.
“It was really close,” said
Metzler, a sophomore. “I got second
last year (behind Mattson). I
wanted to go out with a bang for
Class 5A.”
Next year, Marshfield will drop
down to Class 4A.
Metzler wasn’t able to carry
over the same magic to the 200,
where she finished third behind
Mattson and Sherwood’s Jessica
Imbrie.
“I’m a coastal kid,” Metzler
said. “Hot weather is definitely my
weakness.”
She also noted that Mattson’s
time of 25.20 was much better
than her personal best.
Marshfield’s strong day started
right away on the track, when the
Pirates finished second to Summit
in the 4x100 relay with a squad
that included McGowne, Metzler,
Brittany Cook and Lindsay
Devereux.
“It was a great relay,”
McGowne said. “The goal was to
get the stick around.”
The Pirates were performing
well in the field, too.

Cunningham, Siuslaw win 4A state titles
left 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert out of
position. Hibbert had been playing slightly
loose defense on Haslem and Chris Bosh to
help protect the rim and the lane against
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
Hibbert said Haslem’s effectiveness
forced him to change his approach.
“I think he was really the guy that pushed
them, the catalyst for them,” he said. “Just
him hitting those shots really made us have
to think on defense. Who do we guard? Do
we guard the paint, or do we have to go out to
the shooters out in the corner.”
Pacers coach Frank Vogel was heavily
criticized for taking Hibbert out of Game 1
before James’ game-winning layup. Vogel

his second straight title in the event.
said he made the move because he was worried
Bosh would get open for an easy jumper.
The Heat spent 48 minutes showing Pacers
fans why Vogel’s Game 1 decision might not
have been such a bad idea.
“That’s what Miami does, they space you
out,” he said. “They make it difficult to have
a rim protector in the game at all times.
They challenge you to keep a guy at the rim
and still make them close out to an 18-foot
jump shooter. We have to account for that.”
While Haslem and Bosh pulled Hibbert
and power forward David West away from
the basket, James took over as the Heat’s
post presence, overpowering and dominating
All-Star forward Paul George.
of the afternoon.
Lucero juggled between the javelin and
triple jump, finishing third in the throwing
event and seventh in the leaping event, then
warmed up quickly and placed seventh in the
high hurdles.
“It was a good race,” he said of the hurdles.
“I had a lot of good guys around me.”

Heat regains series lead with unexpected boost from Haslem
“I made a conscious effort to get down in
the post tonight, to put pressure on their
defense,” James said. “The coaching staff
wanted me to be down there tonight, and
my teammates allowed me to do that.”
James, bouncing back after two late
turnovers cost Miami in Game 2, had 22
points, four rebounds and three assists.
Hours after Wade learned he would only be
tagged with a flagrant foul from Game 2 and
not a suspension, he finished with 18 points,
eight assists and four rebounds. Bosh added
15 points and three rebounds, and all five
Miami starters reached double figures.

Kevin Harvick celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Harvick wins NASCAR’s longest race
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Kevin
Harvick thought his eyes were playing
tricks on him. Surely, he told himself as
he drove by the front stretch, that can’t
be a cable hanging down on the track.
“I saw this streak go by me and I’m
like, ‘What in the (heck) was that?”’
Harvick said after winning the Coca-
Cola 600 for the second time in three
years on Sunday.
“I always have this thing with my eyes.
It’s one of the biggest things we have as
drivers. You got to believe in your eyes. I
tell myself you’ve got to believe what you
see. I was hoping it wasn’t my last race, I
was hoping what I saw was right.”
It was right. Weird, but right.
Turns out the nylon rope from an
overhead camera system used by Fox
Sports had snapped and fallen on the
track. It messed up a few cars, caused a
red flag to be dropped and injured 10
fans — three of whom had to be transported
to the hospital.
That was the type of night it was at
Charlotte Motor Speedway. And the fact
that such a crazy race was run under a
full moon only added to the oddity.
It included four multi-car accidents
that took out several notable drivers,
including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie
Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch,
Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Danica
Patrick.
Harvick managed to avoid those
wrecks and beat Kasey Kahne on a
restart with 11 laps remaining to capture
his 21st career Sprint Cup victory.
“This is one of those nights you just
know going into it you got to grind away
lap after lap, just keep yourself on the
lead lap, not make any mistakes,”
Harvick said.
When Kahne decided not to pit and
take on tires at lap 389, Harvick pulled
down pit lane and took on two and came
out in second place for the restart. He
said right then he knew he had the race
in the bag.
“The only frame of mind I was in
was, ‘Don’t screw up,”’ Harvick said. “I
knew they put me in the best position to
win the race. You don’t want to make a
mistake on the restart.”
He didn’t.
“We needed to get those two tires
because I think heads up our car wasn’t
as good as the 5 car,” Harvick’s crew
chief Gil Martin said. “We definitely
needed to get tires at that point. When
they didn’t brake to come down pit
road, I felt like that gave us a chance to
have equal cars with them because they
were very strong all night long.”
The race was stopped for nearly 30
minutes when the TV camera support
rope snapped and landed along the
track and in the grandstands.
The cars were brought into the pits
and cleanup crews coiled up the long
sections of rope as if they were putting
away a garden hose. Drivers were
allowed back to their pit stalls and crews
given 15 minutes to assess and fix damage
caused by the failure.
In a statement, Fox said it had suspended
use of the overhead camera
indefinitely. It said drive rope that
moves the camera back and forth failed
but the network offered no immediate
reason why.
“A full investigation is planned,” the
statement said.
Kahne finished second, Kurt Busch
third and polesitter Denny Hamlin was
fourth in his second full race since
returning from injury. Ryan Newman
was sixth, followed by Tony Stewart,
Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and
Marcos Ambrose.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Josh Hamilton started the
Angels’ comeback when he
homered leading off the seventh
inning, and Los Angeles
beat the Kansas City Royals
5-2 Sunday for its eighth

Jerome Williams (4-1)
allowed two runs and seven
hits in six innings for the
Angels, on their longest winning
streak since taking eight
straight from May 22-29 last
year.
Los Angeles trailed 2-0

Nadal wins first-round match at French Open
PARIS (AP) — Rafael
Nadal survived an early scare
today and successfully began
his bid for an eighth French
Open title by rallying past
Daniel Brands of Germany,
4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4, 6-3.
Nadal, who had lost only
14 sets in 53 previous matches
at Roland Garros, fell
behind when he was broken
in the ninth game and was on
the verge of digging a deeper
hole. He trailed 3-0 in the
tiebreaker, then summoned
his best shot-making to salvage
the set and soon was in
control.
The Spaniard, who won a
record seventh French Open
title last year, improved to
53-1 at Roland Garros. He’s
37-2 since returning in
February after a sevenmonth
layoff because of a left
knee injury, reaching the
finals at all eight previous
tournaments he played this
year and winning six.
The 6-foot-5 Brands,
ranked 59th, gained a
foothold in the match with
his big forehand and serves of
up to 134 mph, while Nadal’s
feared groundstrokes lacked
their normal depth and force.
Seeded third but a heavy
favorite, Nadal won his 16th
consecutive match, and he
improved to 34-0 in the first
round at Grand Slams. He’s
trying to become the first
man to win eight titles at the
same major event.
Also today, former topranked
player Caroline
Wozniacki ended a fivematch
losing streak by
defeating Laura Robson of
Britain 6-3, 6-2.
Former champion Li Na
started fast at Roland Garros
to beat a nemesis, racing to a
4-love lead after 20 minutes
and beating Anabel Medina
Garrigues in the first round,
6-3, 6-4.
No. 4 Agnieszka
Radwanska needed only 57
minutes to defeat Shahar
Peer 6-1, 6-1.
Radwanska’s sister,
Urszula, beat 30th-seeded
Venus Williams in the final
match Sunday, 7-6 (5), 6-7
(4), 6-4.
Serena Williams made a
fluent return to the claycourt
tournament in the early
afternoon Sunday, overwhelming
74th-ranked Anna
Tatishvili 6-0, 6-1.

EUGENE — Freshman
Emily Lockman allowed two
runs on eight hits over seven

Oregon 4-2 Sunday to
advance to the Women’s
College World Series for the
first time since 2002.
Lockman (15-5) struck out
five for the 14th-seeded

Ducks (50-11) earlier
Sunday to

“With this team it is a very
special win. I don’t think
anybody outside of our team
thought that Nebraska softball
would get here, but we
did,” Nebraska coach Rhonda
Revelle said.
Gabby Banda and Taylor
Edwards both singled and
scored to put the Huskers up
2-0 in the top of the first, but
Samantha Pappas singled to
right center with the bases
loaded in the bottom half to
even the game at 2.
The Huskers went ahead
when Alicia Armstrong’s
single scored Courtney
Breault in the third inning.
Mattie Fowler added an
insurance run in the sixth
inning when her single
scored Armstrong.
Oregon was denied a second
consecutive trip to the

Victims, runners cross
finish line together
BOSTON — Thousands of
athletes joined victims of the
Boston Marathon bombings
to run and walk the last mile
of the race Saturday, reclaiming
the triumph of crossing
the finish line.
About 3,000 runners and
bombing victims gathered in
light rain to run the final mile
of the world’s oldest annual
marathon.
The 1-mile run began at
Kenmore Square and ended
at the official finish line,
where participants hugged
and cheered at the site of a
pair of explosions near the
finish line that killed three
people and wounded more
than 260 on April 15.
OneRun honors victims
and emergency workers and

Bundled up against the cold
and with tears in their eyes,
dozens of runners unable to
complete the Boston
Marathon due to the bombings
last month finally finished
their runs over the
famed yard of bricks at
Indianapolis Motor
Speedway on Sunday.
The runners were honored
at the Indianapolis 500
by having the opportunity to
run down the front stretch
moments before to the
“Greatest Spectacle in
Racing.” Thousands of people,
including some crew
members of the race teams,
cheered them on as they ran
down pit road.
All the runners who participated
Sunday were pulled
off the Boston Marathon
course by officials after the
bombings, which killed three
people and wounded more
than 250.

Notre Dame QB is no

SOUTH BEND, Ind. —
Everett Golson is out for at

for what he called
poor academic judgment.
Golson was officially no
longer enrolled at Notre
Dame as of Friday, university
spokesman Dennis Brown
said Saturday night.
Golson helped the Irish go
12-0 during the regular season
last year, regain the No. 1
ranking for the first time in
nearly two decades and get to
the national title game
against Alabama in January.
He did not specify what he
did to get suspended, writing
that he understands his
integrity could be in question,
and thanked the university
for the opportunity it
already has given him.

Idoki rallies from deficit
to win Senior PGA
ST. LOUIS — Kohki Idoki
erased a five-stroke deficit
against a fading Kenny Perry
with room to spare, charging
to a two-stroke victory
Sunday in the Senior PGA
Championship.
It was the third bitter
final-round major tournament
failure for the 52-yearold
Perry, who led by three
strokes with six holes to play
but settled for a secondplace
tie with Jay Haas.
Perry squandered a twostroke
lead with two holes to
go in the 2009 Masters and
also let victory slip away in
the 1996 PGA.

FORT WORTH, Texas —
Boo Weekley made three

victory in five years.
At 14-under 266, Weekley
finished a stroke ahead of Matt
Kuchar, the second- and
third-round leader who closed
with a 68. Defending Colonial
champion Zach Johnson shot
66 to finish third at 12 under, a

Lee captures first win on
soggy course in Bahamas
PARADISE ISLAND,
Bahamas — A week like no
other on the LPGA Tour
ended with Ilhee Lee winning
for the first time.
Lee made a clutch par putt
to keep a one-shot lead, and
then drilled a fairway metal
onto the par-5 18th green to
set up a two-putt birdie. She
closed with a 5-under 42 on
Sunday for a two-shot win
over Irene Cho in the
Bahamas LPGA Classic.
It was only fitting that the
tournament ended in a
downpour. Flooding earlier
in the week left so much of
the Ocean Club under water
that the tour’s best option
was to shorten the course to
12 holes and play three
rounds to reach the 36 holes
required for an official event.

Scoreboard
NBA
From Page B1
Miami outscored Indiana
56-32 in the paint, but perhaps
that much should be
expected from a team with
this much scoring punch —
one that has won 23 of its last
24 games on the road.
The other stuff, not so
much.
Miami committed a playoff
franchise-low one
turnover in the first half and
finished with only five. James
finished with none.
The Heat shot 54.5 percent
against a Pacers team
that finished the regular season
with the NBA’s best
defensive field goal percentage
and also made 24 of 28
free throws. They matched
the highest scoring output in
a quarter during this season’s
playoffs with 34 and broke
the franchise playoff record
for points in a half (70).
But the biggest difference
between the first two games
and Sunday night’s rout was
James’ work on the inside.
“It was something we
wanted to get just to help settle
us and get into a more
aggressive attack,” Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said of
the decision to post up the 6-
foot-8 James. “We wanted to
be a little more aggressive, a
little more committed to getting
into the paint and seeing
what would happen. LeBron
was very committed and
focused not to settle.”
Now it’s the Pacers turn to
adjust.
West led Indiana with 21
points and 10 rebounds,
while Hibbert had 20 points
and 17 boards. George finished
with 13 points and eight
assists, not nearly enough for
the Pacers to remain perfect
at home in the postseason.
SATURDAY
Spurs 104, Grizzlies 93,
OT: Tim Duncan scored the
first five points of overtime,
and the San Antonio Spurs
rallied from an 18-point
deficit to beat the Memphis
Grizzlies 104-93 Saturday
night and move a win away
from the NBA Finals.
The Spurs grabbed a 3-0
lead in the Western
Conference finals.
San
Antonio can wrap up the
series today in Memphis.
Mike Conley led Memphis
with 20 points. Marc Gasol
had 16 points and 14
rebounds and Zach Randolph

CLASS 4A
Distance crew
leads Vikings
From Page B1
Lucero said he was grateful
to the meet officials who
helped him bounce back and
forth between the two field
events.
“They helped me out by
letting me check in and out of
events and go out of order,”
he said.
Lucero said he was happy
with his mark of 41-9.25 in
the triple jump, but not so
much with his throw of 165-9
in the javelin.
“I think I had a big one in
me,” he said. “I didn’t get a
lot of time to warm up.”
Siuslaw followed its state
cross country title in the fall
with the track title in the
spring using most of the
same athletes.
Aside from Billy Jones,
who won the long jump and
placed eighth in the triple
jump, and Jonathan
Peterson, who ran the lead leg
on the 4x400 relay, all of
Siuslaw’s points came from
the cross country kids.
Mack Marbas got the only
win for the Vikings on
Saturday, taking the 1,500,
with teammate Matthew
Campbell second.
“That was really cool
going 1-2 with Matt,” Marbas
said. “That was our goal
today.”
Marbas, Mitchell Butler
and Campbell had finished 2-
3-4 in the 3,000 on Friday.
In the 800, Siuslaw added
10 points when Hayden
Schaffner placed second and
Seth Campbell was seventh,
both behind Seaside’s Brett

Willyard, who set a new meet
record by finishing in 1:53.71.
That gave Siuslaw enough
cushion that the meet didn’t
come down to the final event,
where the Vikings had
Peterson, Matt Campbell,
Marbas and Schaffner. They
placed seventh in the event
and won the team title by
four points over North Valley.
After sitting back until
blazing the last lap of the
3,000 meters in 60 seconds
to win Friday, Willyard took
charge from the gun in the
800 with an opening-lap 53
that left Schaffner and the
rest of the field well behind.
Siuslaw’s girls finished
10th, with Katy Potter taking
third in the 1,500 and Katelyn
Wells placing sixth in the
800.
North Bend also had a pair
of placers for the girls.
McKenzie Gauntz took
fourth in the pole vault by
clearing 10-3.
“It’s really exciting, especially
since I’m a sophomore
and we’ll be training yearround,”
she said.
Gauntz participated at
state in a relay as a freshman,
but this was her first time at
state in the pole vault.
“I’m just really grateful
for my coach and my team,”
she said. “This wouldn’t be
possible without them.”
Bre Harless, meanwhile,
finished her career with a
seventh-place finish in the
300-meter hurdles in 47.74.
“I’m so happy,” she said.
“It was a good day for a PR.
“Coming in ranked 11th, I
wasn’t expecting to get to the
finals. Now I get to go home
with a medal.”
The rest of the Class 4A
meet Saturday was dominated
by the D’Arpino twins
from North Valley and
Molalla’s Claire Thomas.
Vanessa D’Arpino went on
a record-setting spree, setting
new marks in the 100
(12.04), 200 (24.11) and 400

(54.68). Kerissa D’Arpino was
close behind in all three
events and also surpassed the
old records, as did Estacada’s
Genna Settle in the 100 and
200.
Thomas, meanwhile, followed
up her win in the long
jump by setting records in
the 100 hurdles (14.66) and
300 hurdles (43.85).
Gladstone won the team
title, while North Valley’s
trophy hopes were ruined by
a bad handoff in the meet
closing relay between the two
runners other than the twins,
the dropped baton costing
the team several seconds and
places.
Kerissa gave the Knights a
huge lead on the first leg and
Vanessa ran a closing leg of 55
seconds, but North Valley
was only able to move back
up to sixth place. The
Knights finished one point
out of a tie for third place
between Molalla and Cottage
Grove. Newport was second.

Devereux races
to second in 800
From Page B1
Karlin tied Summit’s
Annie Sidor for second in the
pole vault behind Churchill’s
Samantha Tollerud.
“I wish I would have gone
higher,” said Karlin, who
cleared 11 feet. “This was a
really good way to end my
high school career.”
Meanwhile, Tracee Scott
placed sixth in the discus for
the Pirates and Yana Chavez
was sixth in the triple jump.
“They fought hard all day
long,” said Marshfield coach
Mac McIntosh. “It was very
gratifying.”
Chavez made the most of
her first trip to the state
meet.
“I think I did OK,” said
Chavez, who was in front of
her Summit counterpart in
the event until Miranda
Brown moved up four places
for the Storm with a huge
leap on her final jump to take
second.
Chavez improved in the
triple jump by more than 5
feet this season.
“I’m super excited,” the
sophomore said. “I can’t wait
until next season.”
While Metzler has two
more seasons, teammate
Connor Devereux finished
his career in style, with a big
personal best in the 1,500 and
a sensational finish in the
800.
Devereux placed fifth in
the 1,500, but ran a time of
4:01.37, a new best by exactly
four seconds.
“I just praise God that he’s
given me the legs to run,” said

Devereux. “Without him, I’d
be nowhere.”
He came back to gut out a
second-place finish in the
800 meters, passing a few
runners on the final straight
to cross the line in 1:56.53,
just behind Cleveland’s Roba
Sultessa.
“As a senior, you have this
little thing inside you,” he
said. “You get to the last 150
and you say, ‘This is the last
150 I’m going to run.’ You
might as well make it count.”
Marshfield’s only other
boy in action Saturday,
Hunter Drops, cleared 13 feet
in the pole vault, but finished
ninth, one spot away from
the podium. Marist’s Liam
Henshaw broke the meet
record of former Pirate Greg
Eckes by clearing 15-6.
That wasn’t enough for
the Spartans to keep up with
Summit, who won the team
title with 78 points to sweep
the top trophies for Class 5A.
In the Class 6A meet,
Sheldon’s Mitch Horning
won the 100 and 200 and
anchored the Irish to victory
in the 4x100-relay in a time
of 41.58 that was just off the
meet record.
But Jesuit won the closing
4x400 relay and took the
team title with 72 points, 18
better than Sheldon.
Lakeridge won a tight girls
team race that saw the top
four teams separated by just
4.5 points. The Pacers did not
win any events.
The highlight of the meet
came Friday, when four girls
beat the meet record in the
3,000 meters, led by South
Eugene’s Erin Clark, who finished
in 9:32.08, followed by
Grant’s Ella Donaghu (9:37.22),
Sheldon’s Maggie Schmaedick
(9:44.70) and Paige Rice of St.
Mary’s (9:44.96).
