• Agency releasing draft environmental impact statementforproposed power line through Baker County

I,. • if,;

The BLM has scheduled a series of open houses, including two in Baker County, during January to give residents a chance to learn about the draft environmental impact statement iDEISl for the proposed Boardman-to-Hemingway power line. Idaho Power Co. wants to build that transmission line through Baker County. The company's preferred route is near the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, about five miles east of Baker County. Idaho Power's proposal has proved to be controversial. Localresidentsformed a group,Move Idaho Power, that opposes the power line and in parti cularhasadvocated fora route that ensures the power line isn't visible from the Interpretive Center and Baker Valley. The BLM's DEIS is slated to be released Friday. A 90-day public comment period will start then. The two local open houses: • Thursday, Jan. 8, Sunridge Inn, Baker City, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. • Friday, Jan. 9, Durkee Community Hall, Durkee, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. More information is available at www. boardmantohemingway.com.

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Dec. 15, 1964 City Engineer Vernon Z. Jacobson stomped out of council chambers last night and resigned following a verbal battle with Councilman Hans Neuberger. City Manager Fred C. Dyer today reluctantly confirmed that the resignation was on his desk following the council session. Jacobson told this reporter today that he submitted his resignation because he was getting too much "guff" from Neuberger and "I'm sick of it." Dyer said he had not accepted the resignation and was working toward some kind of a reconciliation between Jacobson and the city. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Dec. 14, 1989 Baker City manager Art Reiff has received above-average performance evaluations from Baker city councilors, but one councilman didn't participate. Reiff received high marks, especially on his integrity, according to Mayor Charles Hofmann. Councilman Richard Langrell said he did not participate in the evaluation this year because his scores on his evaluation of Reiff last year were not counted. Regarding lastyear's evaluations, Langrell said,"They felt that I scored him too low. I wasn't like the rest of them who just wrote 'fives' straight across. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Dec. 15, 2004 Kyle Logsdon quietly sits on his mom's lap and eyes that sharp metal thing hovering near his thigh.

But this 19-month-old doesn't cry, doesn't even whimper — he just clutches a candy cane in his tiny fist and smiles at a camera aimed his way. "Another kid protected," Sanders says, smiling as Kyle walks off hand-in-hand with his mom, Dotti. Kyle's tearless reception of the flu vaccine was the exception on Tuesday as 53 children in Baker County received shots at the first-ever vaccination clinic for kids held by the Baker County Health Department. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Dec. 23, 2013 The display is a walk through 20 years of life lived by Joyce and Dave Hunsaker.

Continued ~om Page1A They were returning home after visiting their mining claim in Wickenburg, Arizona, so the stop at the store was appropriate. McLin spent 35 hours putting the wheel together from a kit containing 8,850 pieces. "It didn't come with any written instructions, just pictures," he said. McLin jokingly said there was"some assemblyrequired." He saw a model of the miniature Ferris wheel in the window of a drugstore in McCall, Idaho, and decided he had to have one. 'The kid who put the one together in McCall did it only 18 hours — or so the story goes," he said. McLin admitted that he originally put it together wrong and hadto takeitapartand re-assemble it. "I probably could have done it in about 25 hours," he said. McLin enjoyed building models of cars and boats until his hands started to ache and cramp. He added that his eyes "aren't that good anymore." He said the KNEX kits are not nearly as hard on his hands. The kinetic model has been on display and for sale at the shop since the end of June. George Ferris built the original circular ride in 1893 for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Two revolutions on the fantastic ride cost 50 cents. For $750, the diminutive version can be purchased at Baker Gold and Silver. No assembly required. The kit cost McLin $500 from the KNEX company. He later found out that Walmart sells the identical kit for

around $350. Ironically, McLin was going to be a greeter at Walmart six years ago when he retired until Baker Gold and Silver Owner Terry Karp said he should"come back here." McLin and Karp opened the store in 1981. "A couple of years later I sold my interest in the business to Terry and returned to contracting," he said. If the model sells, he said he is going to buy a roller coaster model made by KNEX to display at the gold and silver shop. "It's got three motors and is five feet wide, six feet high and eight feet long. Dubbed the"Son of Serpent Coaster," it has more than 5,500pieces,m orethan 53feetoftrack and fi vecoaster cars.

lionsnsenewtool to checkstndents'vision From Baker City Lions Club The old eye charts were gone, and a new tool brought speed and efficiency to eye screenings at Baker City schools this year. The Baker City Lions Club, working with parent volunteers, checked the vision of 529 students in early December using a machine called the Spot Vision Screener. Screening occurred at BrooklynPrimary,South Baker Intermediate and Baker Middle schools. The Lions have provided vision screening during Baker schools' Parent Fair and school registration each August for manyyears. Last year the club used the Spot system for the first time, and this year the program was m oved to regularschooldays in orderto screen more ofthe students. The Spot, which looks somethinglike a large camera,isused to testfornearsightednessand farsightedness, astigmatism, and other visionproblems.Theprocess involves having the student

$300, which paid forthe trained operator who brought them. Although these operators spend a week in training, most of the screening was done by 24 local Lions members and nine parent volunteers. Their training was done in a matter of minutes. The entire process went so quickly that the Lions had to shorten their shifts and contact members to come early. The club is hoping to extend

The Oregon Department of Transportation's plan to remove the pedestrian-controlled traKc signal at 10th and C streets in Baker City makes sense. The purpose for installing the signal in 1973students going to and from nearby North Baker Elementary — went away when the school was

closed in 2009. Indeed we wonder whether the signal isn't more a threat than a safety measure. Considering how rarely the lights were activated, it would seem likely that drivers are accustomed to driving past that intersection on 10th Street without stopping. That said, we're not convinced that ODOT's advice to pedestrians — to use the signal at Campbell Street, three blocks south of C — adequately deals with the public's needs on that busy stretch of 10th Street. In particular we'd like to see ODOT study traKc volumes at the intersection of 10th and D streets. D Street certainly has had more use since the city built a bridge across the Powder River several years ago, creating another cross-town route. And with Baker High School just two blocks east ofthe intersection,there's stillconsiderablepedestrian traKc. ODOT spokesman Tom Strandberg said the agency will be"looking at" that intersection. That's a goodfirst step.

e itt e ezos' successes? Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com and owner of The Washington Post, is becoming the favorite whipping boy of self-proc laimed progressives around the country. Although Bezos' critics — ranging from the populist Texas politician Jim Hightower to Franklin Foer, the former editor of The New Republic — sometimes acknowledge that since his entrepreneurial retail model has benefited consumers with low prices and access to products that often aren't available locally, Bezos has committed the sin of creating a retailing behemoth. And in some minds, big is bad. In a revealing column on his Web page this summer, Hightower argued that Amazon's success is not related to its technological prowess, its efficiencyorits"cheap-cheap-cheap prices." Rather, it's successful, he said, because it bullied its way into the market"by squeezing the life out of its workers and suppliers, by crushing its competitors ifrom small shops on Main Street to big chain-store rivals) with monopolistic muscle, and by manipulating our national and state tax laws." Not so fast. The truth is that nobody is required to buy anything from Amazon. It has no monopoly. If large numbers of Amazon customers decide to shopelsewhere, Bezos'sretailem pire would be in trouble. It is true, in one respect, that Amazon enjoysa pricing advantage over some

The ruling, however, came two years before Amazon waseven founded and applies equally to traditional retailers that ship purchasesto out-of-state customers. By the same token, traditional retailers also enjoy certain advantages. Amazon shoppers can't flip through a book that interests them or try on shoes and clothing for color and proper fit before purchase. And, at least not yet, Bezos can't provide a cup of cappuccino with your order. Where Amazon does have an advantage is in competition with retailers in states with high sales-tax rates. Without Amazon's lurking presence, the rates might even be higher. Amazon is not the Godzilla-like creature that Hightower and other such critics describe.Itfaceslotsofcom petition. And its competitors are equally inventive in their efforts to gain market share. Uber and other new entrants into

the so-called sharing economy already allow customers in big cities to order electric drills, groceries and other items from local retailers, delivering them on the same day ifor a modest fee, of course), rather than having to wait 24 hours or more for Amazon to fulfill an order. Individuals and government regulatorsand antitrust law enforcersare almost always one step behind in their assessments of new market structures. By the time they figure out online retail, something even newer may be eating into online profits or nudging it aside. In a competitive marketplace, nothing is fixed in stone forever. The"monopolist" of today is tomorrow's victim of a process that the Austrian-American economist Joseph Schumpeter aptly describedas"creativedestruction," which arises when existing companies fail to recognize or exploit new ideas and technologies. JeffBezos should be a heroto progressives, not a bete noir, unless all they really want is to protect existing firms from competitiv emarket pressures at consumers' expense. William F.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Delay or not, sage grouse abitats ouldbe apriori Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin: We11 bet there are landowners all over the West who are breathing a sigh of relief. The Congressional spending bill includes a provision that will bar the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from listing thegreatersagegrouse and its cousin, the Gunnison sage grouse, under the Endangered Species Act. The agency is part of the Interior Department, which faces a court-required Sept. 30, 2015,deadlinefor adecision on the birds. It's not clear yet just how far-reaching the ban on either proposing or finalizing listings

for the bird will be, according to Environment & Energy Publishing. It could, for example, make any formal discussion of the bird offlimits, E&E says, though it will be up to Interior Department lawyers to make that decision. Nor is it clear what the provision's impact will be on the Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances that are in the works across Eastern Oregon, including Deschutes and Crook counties. Landowners who sign the agreements get assurance that should the bird be listed, their use of the land will not be further restricted. In exchange, they agree to

takesteps to protectand improve thebird's habitat. Ifthe CCAA program remains unchanged, landowners should not be lulled into such complacency that they put off signing up for it. Healthy rangeland is good not only for birds, but also for cattle, after all. For example, removing juniper, which is likely under the agreements, means water that had been sucked up by the notoriously thirsty trees will be available for native grasses and other plants. Also, landowners cannot afford to let range

quality deteriorate. It's unlikely that Republicans will continue to control both houses of Congress indefinitely, and as House GOP members have learned in the last few years, a Democratic Senate can pretty much bring any effort to limit environmental laws to a standstill. Nor is there any guarantee a presidential must-have bill will be available if Republicans decide they want to extend the ban. Most of the ranchers we know are as eager as the next guy to improve their land. Delaying asage grouse listing forayeardoesn't change that.

FOUR VICTIMS SURVIVE; TWO STILL IN HOSPITAL

Secondofthreesussectsarrested inshootingalPortlandhighschool PORTLAND (APl — An 18-yearold man arrested Sunday is the second ofthree people believed to be involved in a shooting outside an alternative Portland high school, police said. Marquel Dugas, 18, was arrested on a probation violation and lodged into jail Sunday afternoon. Police said they are working to identify a third person connected with Friday's shooting near Rosemary Anderson High School. One of three peoplehospitalized has been released. Taylor Zimmers, 16, remains hospitalized in serious condition, while David JacksonLiday, 20, was in fair condition. Labraye Franklin, 17, was released from the hospital on Saturday. A fourth person, a 17-year-old girl, was grazed by a bullet and treated at the scene.

Policearrested a 22-year-old man in connection with the shooting early Saturday. Lonzo Murphy was charged with a parole violation and could face additional charges. Police said he's a "person of interest" in an incidentthey believe was related to gang activity. M urphy was pulled over early Saturday, and policefound a handgun in the vehicle though it's unclear whether that gun was used in the shooting. Police have said Murphy and the two male victims had ties to a gang. On Sunday, Zach McKay was among several dozen people who attended an open house at the school, the Oregonian reported. "This is my family. It's important to talk about it," McKay, who graduated from the school in 2010."Good to getitoutsooner than later."

Portland police cite protester who was hit by car while blocking street PORTLAND (APl — Portland policehave cited a protester who was injured by a motorist as he blocked street traffic with a group of demonstrators on Saturday. Julian Rist suffered a foot and ankle injury after the driver of an SUV ran into him at about 3:15 p.m. The driver left the scene. Policesaid the driver,37-yearold Thomas Munsey, called Milwaukie police about 15 minutes later and said he was involved in the crash. He told police he was

too afraidto stop because protesters surrounded his vehicle and he was worried for his and his family's safety. Rist was taken to a Portland hospital with injuries not consideredlife-threatening. Police said Sunday that after an investigation, Rist was cited for improper position on a highway. Sgt. Pete Simpson says the driverwas not cited. The protesters were with the group Don't Shoot Portland.

Extra police patrols at school today PORTLAND (AP) — Police say extra officers are patrolling Monday at Rosemary Anderson High School in Portland where four people were wounded in Friday's shooting. Police also dispatched extra patrols to nearby Jefferson High School and Portland Community College to ensure safety for students returning to classes. Rosemary Anderson High School says counselors are available to students Monday. The victims are students or in job training programs associated with the alternative high school.

farvawardsfoster kids 84.1millioa PORTLAND (APl — APortland jury has told the state to pay $4.1 million to two girls who said they were molested by their foster mom. The Oregonian reports (http J/goo. gl/PnLNtRl it's the largest sum levied against the Oregon Department of Human Services. The girls' lawyers had sued in Multnomah County Grcuit Court, alleging the state failed to protect the girls, then 2 and 4, fiom their foster mom, Kimberly Vollmer. The girls' lawyers said Vollmer never should havebeen certified asa fosterparent.

THE WORLD IN BRIEF Senate report on CIA revives legal debate about interrogation permission memos WASHINGTON (APl — When the CIA sought permission to use harsh interrogation methods on a captured al-Qaida operative, the response from Bush administration lawyers was encouraging, even clinical. In one of several memos forming the legal underpinnings for brutal interrogation techniques, the CIA was told Abu Zubaydah could lawfully be placed in a box with an insect, kept awake for days at a time and slapped multiple times in the face.W aterboarding,too,wasacceptable because itdidn't cause the lengthy mental anguish needed to meet the legal standard of torture, the 2002 Justice Department memo says. The release lastweek ofa Senatereportcataloging years of suchinterrogation tacticshasrevived debate about legalopinions since discredited and withdrawn and about the decision to not prosecute the program's architects or officers who used the methods. Civil rights groups in the United States and abroadarerenewing callsto prosecute thosewho relied on techniques that President Barack Obama has called torture. "How can we seriously use the phrase 'rule oflaw' if crimes of this magnitude go uninvestigated and unprosecuted?" said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union. The Justice Department, which spent years looking into the matter, says it lacks suKcient evidence to convict anyone and found no new information in the report. It also is far from clear that any international case could be brought.

U.N. climate talks end with crack in rich-poor firewall, raising hopes for Paris deal LIMA, Peru (APl — A last-minute deal that salvaged U.N. climate talks from collapse early Sunday sends a signal the rich-poordivide thatlong held up progress can beovercome with year a to go before alandmark pactissupposed to be adopted in Paris. Still, it remains to be seen whether governments can come up with a new formula for how countries in different stages of development should contribute in a way that keeps global warming from reaching dangerous levels. "This issue will be contentious and it will need to be worked through all the way to Paris," U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said after the marathon talks in Lima finished, more than 30 hours behind schedule. The U.N. talks were still far away from reaching any agreement on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to a level that scientists say would keep global warming in check. But the Paris agreement would be the first to call on all countries to control their emissions.

PITTSBURGH (APl — At the start of every month, the same image of a pistol points from the same place on the front page of the New Pittsburgh Courier, above the same caption: Under Attack By Us! The only thing that changes is the number of the dead. "75 of 91 homicides Black lives," read a recent headline in the renowned black newspaper's crusade against black-onblack violence. It was accompanied, as always, by a literal body count: The name, race and manner of death for every homicide in Pittsburgh in 2014 — with victims being overwhelmingly black, as the headline shows. For years across the news media, stories have focused on cases like the killing of Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old, by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. And for years, the Courier has kept asking: What about all theseother black liveslost?

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (APl — Three friends of an alleged victim of a gang rape at a University of Virginia frat house told The Associated Press that a magazine article that used the woman's attack to paint a picture of a culture of sexual violence on college campuses was wrong on a number of key points: most important that they didn't encourage her to report the attack and that they were more concerned about their reputations than her well-being. One of the friends, a 20-year-old, third-year student referred to as "Randall" in the Rolling Stone article but whose real name is Ryan DuSn, told the AP that not only did he encourage the alleged victim to go to police, but he started to dial 9-11 on his cellphone until she begged off saying she just wanted to goback toherdorm and go to sleep. "I couldn't help but notice that everything that the article said about me was incorrect," DuSn said. The Rolling Stone article set off an intense debate about sexual violence, alcohol, fraternities, and journalism ethics. The Associated Press also spoke with the other two friends portrayed in the article: third-year, 20-year-old U.Va. students Kathryn Hendley and Alex Stock, known as "Cindy" and "Andy" in the article. None of the three friends was contacted by the Rolling Stone's reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, before the article was published; each of them rejected multiple assertions made in the article, which has since been retracted.

Hostage situation erupts in Sydney, Australia, cafe; might have been politically motivated SYDNEY (APl — A hostage situation erupted inside a chocolate shop and cafe in Australia's largest city on Monday, with the nation's prime minister saying it may be "politically motivated." New South Wales state police said they were dealing with "an armed incident," and said they were trying to make contact with people inside the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Sydney. Television footage shot through the cafe's windows showed several people with their arms in the air and hands pressed against the glass, and two people holding up what appeared to be a black flag with white Arabic writing on it. Zain Ali, the head of the Islamic Studies Research Unit at the University of Auckland, said it was difficult to read the message because media images showed only the lower part of the flag. But he believed it was the Shahada, or declaration of faith, largely because a black flag with white writing in a contemporary context often contains that message.

ofhvili f The word "propensity" came to me this day without being invited. I felt I knew what it meant, but why did it come to mind just now? When this happens, I usually get out my dictionary and look up the w ord just to be sure ofitsspelling and meaning. I evidently was "leaning." Toward or away from? I wondered. And why? Did theword have any realmeaning to me just now? If not, why did it come to mind at this moment and for what reason? What should I do with it? Unable to decipher it, I filed it in my mind in the "use later" file and went about my business.

Nothing much had been said lately, of which I had been aware, about the word "twilight." No one had spoken about being in that moment when all is still. For many years while I was growing up, it seemed tohappen periodically, affectingeveryone to some degree. It was such a special time that it came to me this one day, wondering where it had gone. Then I picked up my newspaper and there it was, a strange coincidence in that I was planning to write about it — twilight, that is. The newspaper reminded everyone that the Main Street and Chamber of Commerce were going to co-host the annual Christmas Parade in downtown La Grande at dusk on Thursday a week after Thanksgiving and that Santa Claus would be there. They had called it the"Twilight Parade" last year, so I was expecting that; however, the "Twilight Parade" name had movedover toBaker City and the folks there enjoyed it by that name recently. I hadn't thought that far ahead yet, it still being pre- Thanksgiving when I thought of the word twilight, so I'll go back to my former premise and go on from there. I've always thought of the word twilight as such a gentle word, a gentle time in which there is a moment of peaceful rest and calm when birds stop fluttering their wings and seek a moment of repose, when people cars are home for dinner and the tinkle of cow, sheep, or goat bells can be heard across the fields. A time for flowers to fold their petals. That's the time between being busy and armchair repose seeking a moment of rest before the dark of night. It always seemed like an old-fashioned word just like the word "dawn." How many of us say we are up atthe break of dawn? And, do we say that it is twilight or dusk rather than sunset? It seems to be a time when light is not so bright as daylight and yet not so dark when we cannot read a written page,still,a tim e to restone'seyes. A time between, we are told. More and more I think I seek that time between being busy and resting away from the cares of the world. There are so many trials and concerns to prey so heavily on us that every once in a while I seek twilight's glow within the shades of day. Tranquility. When I was a child there seemed to be plenty of twilight time just after sunset. I'm surprised now to learn that twilight can come early in the morning, too, but I seldom have been awake to greetit.

Peppermint meltaways might become your new favorite holiday recipe.

Foryyescom News Service

I often refer to my old standby recipesforholiday sweets but this year I wanted to try something new. I have never really cooked with peppermint and have never made biscotti,so,of course, I had to give it a whirl. I must add, while making Biscotti was a bit time consuming, it is a simple recipe to follow. I definitely will make this again. Just a warning....the other two recipes are very sweet. I knew when I found them theywould be rich, but as they say, "A little dab will do ya!a I really enjoyed cooking this pepperminty theme. I think each ofthese sweet treatswillgoperfectly with your afternoon tea. Thank you to those who have beengivingme great recipe ideas, Iam working on afew fabulous dishes.

Ilecoratino ChristmasCookies

'A lot o f people give cookies

By Daniel Neman St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Cookies aregood.Icing isgood. And according to baker Christy Augustin, that is important to remember when you try to decorate cookies. "Just forgive yourself. It's going to tastegreateven ifitdoesn'tlook good.Itjusttakespractice,"she sald. Augustin is co-owner of Pint Size Bakery & Coffee in St. Louis' Lindenwood Park. The bakery is in the process of making hundreds of decoratedcookiesforthisholiday season, but Augustin said the process is easy enough that most home cookscan do itthemselves. Begin with a sturdy cookie, one that is easy to work with. At Pint Size, that is often a gingerbread or a sugar cookie. They roll the dough out about '/4-inch thick and use a cookiecutterfor specifi c shapes. To make an easy Christmas tree or Santa hat, you can simply cut out a circle about 6 inches in diameter. At the bakery they use a round cookie cutter, but you can use anything from an upside-down bowl to a coffee can, she said. Next, slice the circular dough into 6 or 8 equal-size wedges and bake them at 375degrees for 8to 10 m inutes, depending on their size. For the decorations, she uses royal icing, a mixture of powdered sugar, cream oftartar and egg whites — if you don't have the egg

"It's really important to keep the icing from drying out. So we icover it with) a damp paper towel. It will keep it from getting crusty on top," Augustin said. M ost profess ionalbakers prefer to pipe an outline of icing on the edges of their cookies and then fill the space in between, she said, but she prefers the method explained by St. Louis cookbook author Julia M. Usher. She just spreads the icing on top of the cookie with the back of a spoon. Then she allows the icing to dry uncovered at roomtemperature for aday, which makes the cookies easier to handle and avoids any unfortunate instances of poking your finger into the wet icing. Next comes the piping. For a Christmastree,she zig-zags a line of light green icing down the cookie, to represent the branches, and carefull y placessugar pearls at strategi c spots to suggestornaments. For Santa's hats, she pipes whitefrosting acrossthe bottom to look like white fur and adds a dot of white on top to represent a flufFy

If the Christmas trees and Santa's hats are too daunting, you can try the easier, but no-less-festive, peppermint shortbread cookies made at Piccone Pastry. The Delmar Loop mainstay also has a special fig cookie available this month, but it is too labor intensiveforthe average home chef,said pastry chef Sandia Hoormann. But as for the peppermint shortbread cookies, "I imagine anyone who could melt chocolate could bake those," she said. That's all it takes. You melt dark chocolate in one bowl or pan and white chocolate in another. You don't even have to temper the chocolate; at Piccione, they use couverture chocolate, which has extra cocoabutterin it— so itdoesn't snap and break when you bite into it. Couverture chocolate is available at local pastry supply stores. Simply take a square shortbread cookie and dip half of it in one of the chocolates. Then dip the other half in the other chocolate, and then sprinkle the top lightly with crushed candy canes. What is the seemingly universalappeal ofcookiesduring the

holidays? "A lotofpeople givecookies as gifts. It's easy," Hoormann said. "And at the holidays, you give yourself a little slack so you can have that cookie."

PORTLAND — An 18-year-old man arrested Sunday is the second of three people believed to be involved in a shooting outside an alternative Portland high school, police said. Marquel Dugas, 18, was arrested on a probation violation and lodged into jail Sunday afternoon. Police said they are working to identify a third person connected with Friday's shooting near Rosemary Anderson High School. One of three people hospitalizedhas been released. Taylor Zimmers, 16, remains hospitalized in serious condition, while David Jackson-Liday, 20, was in fair condition. Labraye Franklin, 17, was releasedfrom the hospitalon Saturday. A fourth person, 17-year-old Olyvia Batson, was grazed by a bullet and treatedat the scene. Police arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with the shooting early Saturday. Lonzo Murphy was charged with a parole violation and could face additional charges. Police said he's a"person ofinterest"in an incident they believe was related to gang activity. Sgt. Pete Simpson says two male victims have ties to gangs. The victims ate students or in ailiated job trainingprograms, authorities say. Police have designated Jackson-Liday as a gang member, a formalprocessthatrequires oScers to develop evidence and provide the allegedgang member an opportunity to appeal, Simpson said.

First U ofOPlayerIo WinAward

Ducks'MariotawinsHeismanlroghy By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Wnter

NEW YORK — Marcus Mariota wrote it all down, every word ofhis Heisman Trophy acceptance speech. Itwas a good thing,too, because getting through it mighthave been tougher than sprinting away from a linebackeror tossing a touchdown pass for Oregon's understated star. The junior quarterback became the Ducks' first Heisman winner going away Saturday night, capping a three-year climb to college football' sm ostprestigious individual award. "I'm humbled to be standing here today," Mariota said moments after he was announced as the winner. Mariota isn't a bigger talker, but he steadily worked through his speech, thanking his teammates, teachers, fiiends and his home state of Hawaii. He finally hit a snag when it came time to thank his mother and father. He needed to take two deepbreathsand stillhe got choked up. "I had to give thanks to so many people because where I am today, it's all do to all thosepeople,"Ma riota said later." It'shard notto get emotional. It's been a long journey. My emotions got the best of me." A pinpoint passer with w ide-recei ver speed,Mariota came into this season as the favorite to win the 80th Heisman and delivered a performance that turned the presentation ceremony at a theater in Times Square into a foregone conclusion. Mariota had twice as many points i2,534l as second-place finisher Melvin Gordoni1,250l,the recordbreaking running back from Wisconsin. The other finalist, Alabama receiver Amari Cooper, was third.

Oregon's Marcus Mariota won the HeismanTrophy Saturday. only Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith, who had 91.63 in 2006. Southern California tailback Reggie Bush received 91.77 percent of possible points in 2005, but hisvictorywas latervacated for violating NCAA rules. Mariota, the first Hawaii native to win the Heisman, has accounted for a Pac12-record 53 touchdowns i38 passing, 14 rushing and one receiving) while directing the Ducks' warp-speed spread offense. "In Hawaii, if one person is successful, the entire state is successful, "he said,draped in leis at his news conference.

In his second season he put up numbers that rivaled those of Heisman finalist quarterbacks Winston, Manziel, AJ McCarron and Jordan Lynch, but when it came time to vote for the Heisman, Mariota was forgotten. He didn't even finish in the top 10 in 2013. This season Mariota would not be ignored. He leads the nation in passerrating i186.2l,isfi fth in total offense i342.5 yards per game) and has led the Ducks to a Pac-12 title with a chance to play for their first national championship.

Before Newton, three straight sophomores won the award iTim Tebow of Florida, Sam Bradford of Oldahoma and MarkIngram ofAlabamal. Tebow was the first sophomore winner.

"If you have your punch list ofthingsas a program, the most iconic individual award would be the Heisman Trophy. But like Marcus said, I know he'd trade all that to win as a team," Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. For Harrington, Oregon, with Nike's help, put up a billboard in Times Square to promote their Heisman candidate. Oregon didn't need a billboardto gettheword out about Mariota. His play provided all the publicity he needed.

Army-NaWFootdall

Nawmakesit13winsina row,1HIl By David Ginsburg AP Sports Wnter

BALTIMORE — The game was over, and it was time forN avy to celebrateits 13th straight victory over Army. After the Midshipmen stood respectfully for Army's alma mater, defensive ends Paul Quessenberry and Will Anthony hoisted Ken Niumatalolo on their shoulders to give the winningest football coach in Navy history a free ride in the wake of a 17-10 triumph Saturday. Niumatalolo i56-35l broke a tie with George Welsh for most wins at Navy. He also became the first to win his first seven games against Army i4-8l. Asked about his awkward jaunt aboard the two players, Niumatalolo said,"I tried to getdown. Ihave so much respect for Army, I didn't want to upstage anyone." The streak remained intact because

of Navy'sunrelenting defense and quarterback Keenan Reynolds' versatility. After Army turned a blocked punt into a touchdown in the first quarter, the Midshipmen used the passing of Reynolds to pull even at halfbme. Navy i7-5l then took a 10-7 lead before Reynoldsscored from the 1with 12:07 leftto put the Mids in control. Reynolds ran 26 times for 100 yards and completedsix ofeightpassesfor 77 yards and a touchdown. As the clock ticked down the final seconds, the thousands of Midshipmen in attendance jumped, yelled and cheered from their perch in the end zone. And soon after that, Niumatalolo went airborne. "It was awesome," Quessenberry said. "If you watch to the end, I ran into the Secretary of the Navy." The 13-game run by Navy is the longest in the history of a series that began

in 1890. Before the Midshipmen went on their unprecedented streak, neither team in this storied rivalry had won more than five in a row. "It's not as if you carry points over from one year to the next," Niumatalolo said."It is a heck of a run, and you have to givecreditto a lotofplayers and coaches." Navy leads the series 59-49-7. In the previous 12 games, the Midshipmen outscored Army 400-132 — including 34-7 last year. Although the score in this one was closer, the result was the same. The Cadets haven't defeated the Midshipmen since 2001. First-year coach Jeff Monken became the sixth coach to lose to Navy over that span. "I'm certainly disappointed to play as hard as we did and not see our players win, especially the seniors," Monken said.

Rose leads Chicago past Trail Blazers CHICAGO iAPl — Chicago Bulls coach TomThibodeau has insisted that Derrick Rose would eventually return to playing the way he was before knee injuries wrecked his previous two seasons. On Friday, Rose looked like he is going to prove his coach right. Rose scored a season-high 31 points, and the Bulls overcame big nights from Portland's two All-Stars to beat the Trail Blazers 115-106. Rose went past his previous high of 24 points and scored over 30 for the first time since March 12, 2012. He was 14 of 24 from the floor for the Bulls, who have won three of four and improved to 4-5 at the United Center. For Rose, it was his second consecutive encouraging performance after scoring 23 during Chicago's win over Brooklyn on Wednesday. And like that game, Rose's aggression level resembled where it was before his injuries. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 ofhis 35 points in the first quarter, his 10 field goals in the period matching a Trail Blazers record set by Darius Miles in 2005. But he was held to two points in the final quarter. Damian Lillard also had a season-high 35, making seven 3-pointers and scoring 18 in the fourth. That gave Portland two teammates with at least 35 for the first time since 1988, but not a victory.

INDIANAPOLISLaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard provided the 1-2 punch Portland needed Saturday night. As usual, it was a knockout combination. The All-Stars made backto-back 19-foot jumpers in the fourth quarter, helping to fendoIFIndiana'sdesperate rallyfora 95-85victory that snapped the Trail Blazers' two-game losing streak. Aldridge finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds while Lillard added 18 points, enough to hand the Pacers an eighth consecutive loss. eWe really realized,

becauseofoutcomes of previousgames, we've gotto do whatever it takes to put ourselves in a position to win this game," center Robin Lopez said after finishing with eight points and eight rebounds. Neither the road trip nor their final game on it went the way the Trail Blazers

i18-6l envisioned. After starting with wins at New York and Detroit, Portland arrived in Indiana following losses at Minnesota and Chicago. They started slow Monday, too, but Aldridge and Lillard helped them turn the game in the second quarter when they shot 77.8 percent &om the field and outscored the

Pacers 36-15 to take a 58-38 halNme lead. Another fast start in the third quarter seemingly put away the game. Aldridge's 20-foot jumper with 8:03 left gave Portland a 69-40 lead. But the staggered Pacers refused to stay down and instead slowly fought their way back into contention. They got within 82-66 afterthree,closed the defi citto 82-71 early in the fourth and then suddenly were within 86-78 when David West hit a 20-footer with 4:18 left. That's when Aldridge and Lillard made their back-toback baskets to finally put the Pacers away. Indiana was led by C.J. Watson, who had 23 points.

SEATTLE — Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh shook hands and went their separate ways, one headed toward the postseasonand a possible No.1seed,the other dealing with the disappointment of missing the playoIFs for the first time in his coaching career. Carroll and the Seahawks knocked San Francisco out of playoff contention with a 17-7 win on Sunday, ending the 49ers' run of reaching the NFC championship game forthreestraight seasons and potentially bringingto a close the most heated rivalry in the NFC. Seattle i10-4l won for the fifth time in six games against the 49ers. Combined with BufFalo's win over Green Bay earlier Sunday, the Seahawks moved into a position where a No. 1 seed in the NFC playoIFs is now possible. 'The Niners came out really going for it. They did a great job planning," Carroll said. "They did a lot of new stufF and some things that challenged us on defense today, early in the game. Fortunately, our guys settled down and figured some stuff out and did a really good job of adjusting, and just really didn't give up anything in the second half." Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Russell Wilson added a 10-yard TD pass to Paul Richardson in the fourth quarter as Seattle rallied from a 7-3 halNme deficit. The 49ers i7-7l played better than they did during their 19-3 loss to Seattle on Thanksgiving night, but the result was the same. "It's definitely tough. Especially for me. I'm very competitive. I always feel like I'm supposed to win,"49erswidereceiver

Anquan Boldin said."I can't tell you the last time I didn't make the playoIFs.n Here are some other things that stood out from Seattle's win:

IN3URY LIST In a season filled with key injuries, the 49erslosttw omore playerslatein the first half and another in the third quarter. Running back Frank Gore, who scored on a 10-yard run in the second quarter, left with a concussion. Middle linebacker Chris Borland, the NFC defensive rookie of the month in November, hurt his ankle on the final play of the first half. He attempted to return, but was mostly a spectator and

replaced by Nick Moody. Gore's backup, Carlos Hyde, was bent backward and appeared to injure his right leg late in the third quarter. And that was on top of San Francisco being without starting offensive linemen Marcus Martin and Anthony Davis, and cornerback Chris Culliver. 'They played as tough as you could want them, and they were right there the whole time," Carroll said.

AMES, Iowa — It was bound to come to an end at some point. The Oregon State volleyball team i21-13l saw its historic season come to a close Friday night with a 3-1 loss to No. 1 seed Stanford i32-1l in the regional semifinal of the NCAA tournament. The Beavers battled throughout the match, but the Cardinalcame out on 25-20,25-14,22-25,25-15. The Beavers end the 2014 season with 21 wins, the third most at Oregon State in the NCAA era. The Beavers also earned their first two NCAA tournament wins in school history.

No. 9 Gonzaga rolls past UCLA LOS ANGELES iAPl — Gonzaga's junior and senior dominated lineup proved too much for inexperienced UCLA. Kyle Wiltjer scored 24 points and No. 9 Gonzaga led all the way en route to an 87-74 victory on Saturday night that snapped the Bruins' four-game overall winning streak and handed them their first home loss. "It's awesome to come in here and get a big win on the road,"Wiltjer said.'We're a ranked team and we know we have a target on our backs." Byron Wesley added 20 points for the Zags i9-1l in his homecoming after starring for three seasons at Southern California. He shot 7 of 8 from the field and had nine rebounds and four assists. "I wasn't nervous coming back in here,"Wesley said."I had a lot of family and fiiends in the stands and I wanted to end this on a good note." Bryce Alford scored 23 points and Isaac Hamilton added 18 for UCLA i8-3l, which got blown out by North Carolina in its only other game against a ranked opponent. The Bruins had won their first seven home games by an average of 20.1 points, but none of those opponents were as good as the Zags. 'They've been there, done that. We've got a lot of guys going through it for the first time," UCLA coach Steve Alford said.'They don't panic, they play with great poise. Offensively, they're really hard to guard because they have so many guys who can make 3s, yet people will tell you their strength is on the inside." Gonzaga shot 59 percent in the first half, leading 38-27 at the break. UCLA didn't take a shot in the final 2:09. 'They came out making shots early and we dug ourselves a hole," the younger Alford said.'We just couldn't find our way out of it."
