Donald Sterling wasn’t in a
where he would’ve had an up-
close view of what his coarse
words and corrosive opinions did
to his Los Angeles Clippers.
The team was drained and un-
enthusiastic despite a crucial NBA
playoff game in Oakland, Calif.,
against theGoldenStateWarriors.
The Clippers’ most impactful ac-
tion in a decisive loss came during
pregame warmups, when they
gathered at midcourt and peeled
off their team-issued warmup
jackets to reveal red shirts turned
inside-out to hide the team logo—
a sign of protest against the team’s
80-year-old owner, who allegedly
made racist remarks to a girl-
friend that were recorded and
posted Saturday on the Web site
TMZ.
The report is the latest in a
series of allegations of racial and
gender discrimination against
Sterling, a real estate mogul and
the longest-tenured team owner
in a league whose player pool is
more than three-quarters African
American.
In the recording, a man identi-
fied as Sterling scolded the wom-
an, identified as V. Stiviano, for
posting to Instagram photo-
graphs of herself with African
Americans and for attending Clip-
pers games with them.
“It bothers me a lot that you
want to broadcast that you’re as-
sociating with black people,” the
mansaid in the recording. “Doyou

The United States and the Philip-
pines will sign a 10-year defense
agreement Monday, officials said,
one of the clearest signs yet of
renewed American engagement
in the region at a time when
tensions between China and its
neighbors have been rising.
The announcement — the big-
gest policy achievement to come
out of President Obama’s week-
long trip to Asia — is likely to
generate criticism from Chinese
officials, who have made it clear
they oppose a heightened U.S.
presence in the area. But the pact
may reassure several Asian coun-
tries embroiled in territorial dis-
putes with China, especially in
the South China Sea. It also gives
the United States greater flexibili-
ty to respond to threats and
natural disasters in the region.
“This is the most significant
defense agreement that we have
concludedwith the Philippines in
decades,” said EvanMedeiros, the
National Security Council’s sen-
ior director for Asian affairs, add-
ing that the United States wants
“a constructive relationship with
China” but also is determined to

Jubilation in St. Peter’s Square
Pope Francis on Sunday canonized John Paul II and John XXIII,
bestowing sainthood on two towering figures of the 20th century who
left outsize marks on the Roman Catholic Church. The sounds of the
Sistine Chapel Choir rang out across a throng estimated at 800,000
faithful from the Vatican to beyond the Tiber River, where spillover
crowds gathered before big screens. For the first time in the church’s
history, two popes were proclaimed saints at once. Story, A6

But the arrival at the base last
tank missiles, the first advanced
American weaponry to be dis-
patched to Syria since the con-

abandoned hopes among the
rebels that the Obama adminis-

resistance to the provision of
significant military aid and, per-
haps, help move the battlefield
equation back in their favor.
The small number of BGM-71

Frank Benso uses to kill bacteria in fruit and
oysters has won widespread support from
public health officials and scientists, who say
it could turn the tide against the plague of
foodborne illness.
The Food and Drug Administration has
approved the use of radiation to wipe out
pathogens in dozens of food products, and
for decades it has been used in other
developed countries without reports of hu-
man harm.
But it has barely caught on in the United
States. The technology — called irradiation
— zaps bacteria out of food and is highly
effective, but for many consumers it con-
jures up frightening images of mutant life
forms and phosphorescent food.
Benso, who opened Gateway America
18 months ago, also knows his new venture

THE ENVIRONMENT
couldn’t help in the moment. So
learn why this is happening.”
In August, a second hole was
spotted nearby, this one about
10 inches wide and at least 5 feet
deep, prompting further study.
One theory is that decaying
trees beneath the sand might be
causing the holes to form.
Human activity on the dunes
and along the shore has led to the
erosion of Mount Baldy. The
126-foot dune has been shifting
away from the lakeshore at an
alarming rate, covering the old
landscape in sand, experts have
said. The thought is that cascades
of sand drifting south are burying
trees, which could be rotting and
creating the holes beneath the
surface, Argyilan said.
While nothing is certain, she
believes that holes are unlikely to
start appearing at other sand
dunes that have been kept in a
more natural state.
“This particular dune has a
complicated history,” she said.
Historical mining of the sand
to make glass Mason jars — as
well as the existence of man-
made structures such as jetties on
the harbor — could have contrib-
uted to the erosion problem, Ar-
gyilan said, adding that she has
evaluated pictures of the land-
scape from 1938, and the changes
are drastic.
Most sand dunes are covered
in vegetation compared with
Mount Baldy, where the trees and
grass — and even an old staircase
that once led to a viewing spot —
are now buried, Argyilan said.
During the closure, the Park
Servicewill be planting newgrass
where the native vegetation once
grew in the hopes that it will hold
the sand in place and perhaps
prevent new holes from forming.
Argyilan said the holes in
Mount Baldy are distinct from
the “sinkholes” that typically con-
sume cars and homes. These are
usually from rock surfaces that
dissolve over time because of
water damage.
Park Service officials say
they’re preparing for amore thor-
ough investigation of the dune
this summer, including mapping
of holes and depressions, use of
special ground-
penetrating radar, and coring of
samples of sand and organic mat-
ter. The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency has used ground-
penetrating radar to identify
anomalies beneath the surface,
but experts aren’t certain what
caused the patterns.

gyilan has in the past 10 months
studied sediment, analyzed wind
patterns and mapped terrain, but
she hasn’t solved the mystery of
the holes that appear and vanish
in the sands of Mount Baldy at
Indiana Dunes National Lake-
shore.
“We’re seeing what appears to
be a new geological phenom-
enon,” she said.
Argyilan is one of many ex-
perts who have combed the ter-
rain for clues about the origin of
the potentially dangerous holes,
which are about a foot in diame-
ter and seem to survive for less
than a day before filling in natu-
rally with sand. Investigators
have used ground-penetrating
radar and specialized GPS devic-
es to peek below the landscape,
but no one is certain why the
holes form along the surface of
this landmark, which attracts
thousands of visitors each year.
The National Park Service an-
nounced this week that Mount
Baldy will remain closed indefi-
nitely because of the discovery of
two new holes and a number of
depressions on the north slope,
although the rest of the Indiana
Dunes National Lakeshore will
be open.
Argyilan is driven profession-
ally and emotionally to try to help
explain this curious occurrence.
The geology professor had been
conducting research at the base
of Mount Baldy in mid-July when
she heard the screams of a couple
about 400 feet away, frantically
pointing at the ground that swal-
lowed their 6-year-old son.
She initially thought they were
mistaken, because there should
be no holes in a dune, which is
made up of grains of sandwith no
room for air. But when rescue
crews saved Nathan Woessner of
Sterling, Ill., after a three-hour
burial under 11 feet of sediment,
it simultaneously shattered the
scientist’s understanding of the
terrain and hurt her emotionally.
“I cried for three days,” said
Argyilan, an associate professor
of geoscience at Indiana Univer-
sity Northwest, who was seven
months pregnant at the time and
couldn’t stop replaying in her
mind the horror of the day. “I
BRIAN SCHLENDER/MICHIGAN CITY NEWS DISPATCH VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
At least five are killed as
tornadoes cut wide swath
Ottawa County Emergency
Management Director Joe Dan
Morgan said Quapaw, which has
about 900 residents, was heavily
damaged by the tornado.
After hitting Quapaw, the tor-
nado moved northward into Kan-
sas and struck Baxter Springs, a
city of about 4,200 residents
about five miles away. Josh Har-
vey, a sheriff ’s dispatcher in Cher-
okee County, Kan., said that the
tornado that hit Baxter Springs
injured several people and caused
extensive damage, but that no
deaths hadbeen reported. He said
first responders were going from
house to house checking on resi-
dents.
Tornadoes also touched down
Sunday in Iowa, Missouri and
Nebraska. Tornado warnings,
which indicate the greatest threat
of a strike, were in effect for parts
of southeastern Missouri and
northeastern Arkansas.
One of Sunday’s twisters
touched down northwest of Jop-
lin, Mo., where a massive tornado
in May 2011 killed 161 people,
injuredmany others and leveled a
large swath of the city. Sunday’s
twister didn’t hit Joplin.
The first reported tornado Sun-
day touched down in a rural area
in central Nebraska. The weather
service said it remained on the
ground for only a short time, and
there were no immediate reports
of damage.
Forecasters warned that areas
thatweren’t hit by tornadoeswere
still at risk of damage from hail
and powerful straight-line winds.
Forecasters warned of hail stones
as big as baseballs and wind gusts
that could reach hurricane-force
speed of 75 mph or faster.
Gusts of up to 60 mph were
registered during a storm that hit
southeastern Iowa on Sunday
that damaged several buildings,
including a barn that injured
someone when it was blown over.

mayflower, ark. —
A powerful
storm system rumbled through
the central and southern United
States on Sunday, spawning a
massive tornado that killed at
least four people as it carved
through Little Rock’s northern
suburbs and another that killed a
person in Oklahoma.
The Arkansas tornado touched
down about 10miles west of Little
Rock about 7 p.m. and moved
northeastward for at least 30
miles, the National Weather Serv-
ice reported. It missed the state
capital but passed through or
near several of its suburbs, caus-
ing widespread damage in May-
flower and Vilonia.
Matt DeCample, a spokesman
for Gov. Mike Beebe (D), said
Sunday night that three of the
deaths were in Pulaski County
and the fourth was in White
County.
The twister, which grew to be
half a mile wide, turned buildings
into rubble and stripped leaves
and branches off trees.
It was one of several tornadoes
that touched down Sunday as a
large storm system moved
through parts of the Plains, the
Midwest and the South.
Less than two hours before the
Arkansas tornado struck, a twist-
er hit the small northeastern
Oklahoma community of Qua-
paw, killing one person and injur-
ing six others, Ottawa County
sheriff ’s dispatcher Kelli Soechs
said. Earlier Sunday, another Ot-
tawa County sheriff ’s dispatcher
reported that two people were
killed.
