NB to Coos Bay, North Bend see spike in fraud ’Tis the season to be careful discuss pot tax issue

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, a recent string of fraudulent activity may leave community members feeling a little lighter in the wallet than expected.

In the past two weeks, there have been more than 50 forms of fraud reported to the Coos Bay Police Department, the North Bend Police Department and the Coos County Sheriff’s Office.

The reported forms of fraud include phone scams, stolen financial information, forgeries, counterfeit currencies, identity thefts and mail thefts.

Stolen financial information was

BY KURTIS HAIR The World

NORTH BEND — The North Bend City Council will discuss establishing a tax on the sale of marijuana and marijuana-related products at Tuesday’s meeting.

On Nov. 4 Oregon voters will get the chance to weigh in on Measure 91, which, if approved, would legalize recreational marijuana use in the state.

Before it comes time for voters to decide, some local governments want to establish a sales tax if the measure is approved.

For North Bend, the ordinance presented for council discussion would put a gross receipts tax on the sale of marijuana, medical marijuana and marijuana related products.

The tax would be levied on the seller’s total gross taxable revenues of his or her business, according to the agenda.

The council stated in the agenda that though it does not condone the use of marijuana, it “believes there will be social impacts if Measure 91 passes, which will directly impact the community.”

In other council business, the council will take a tour around the nearly finished Grant Circle Project.

Construction on the project began last May, and city Administrator Terence O’Connor said he expected the project to be finished this week.

The council will meet at 835 California St. at 7:30 p.m.

the most reported fraudulent activity between the law enforcement agencies, with phone scams being the second most prevalent.

“We have seen a rise in the last couple of weeks, but for this type of activity, it goes in waves,” Coos Bay police Capt. Chris Chapanar said.

With financial fraud, many of the crimes are often avoidable or can be limited by putting a greater emphasis on monitoring account activity.

“It surprises me how many people give out their account information,” Wells Fargo bank manager Debbie Williams said. “It’s

almost like you’re opening up your wallet, because the bank is obligated to complete the transactions.”

Community members can also take a more proactive approach by monitoring all of their financial activities.

“I’d advise checking your account activities on a frequent basis,” Chapanar said. “The quicker you notice the fraudulent activity, the quicker you can expect a resolution.”

Both Chapanar and Williams’ comments echo the findings of 2014 AARP Fraud Watch Network survey, which found that many

Americans don’t utilize the available resources to protect themselves from fraud.

Of the most underutilized resources in the survey, which included 2,250 participants, 59 percent of Americans don’t use a locking mailbox, 52 percent of Americans do not check their credit report annually and 42 percent of Americans don’t set up online access for bank and credit accounts.

While most people may avoid reporting small inaccuracies, Chapanar said all reports are important, especially for tracking patterns of fraudulent activity.

Newport residents say rescue shows copter station is needed NEWPORT (AP) — Newport residents hoping to keep a Coast Guard helicopter station from closing say the weekend rescue of five people stranded on rocks north of the city argues for keeping it open.

The Coast Guard said it’s trying to save money by closing the hangar and barracks in Newport to consolidate helicopter rescue operations in North Bend.

The Newport station consists of a hangar and barracks used by four-person crews on a rotation basis.

On Saturday, the Coast Guard helicopter ferried five people from the rocks at Fogarty Creek State Park, about 15 miles north of Newport. Three others jumped into the ocean and swam to shore.

taken a rescue helicopter about an hour from North Bend. The Coast Guard station at Astoria in northwest Oregon might be a little closer and could have sent a helicopter, he said.

“We would have done everything possible, given our resources,” he said.

The group said it has collected 10,000 signatures on a petition to keep the station open.

The effort has won the support of politicians.

Members of Oregon’s congressional delegation have asked the Coast Guard in a letter to reverse its decision, and the Lincoln County commission has passed a resolution against closing it.

The closure is scheduled Nov. 30.

A $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to an Oregon high school student Dec. 1. To compete, students must submit two-dimensional artwork featuring the humpback whale. Posters and entry forms were sent to all Oregon high school art departments last month and can also be downloaded from bethewhale.com. Information can also be found on the Be the Whale Facebook page.

Deadline for entries is Oct. 24.

The top five Oregon

entries will be announced Nov. 14. The winning entry will be framed at Pacific Frameworks in Florence and placed in its art gallery for viewing.

The project targets all nine endangered whales, all endangered cats, several other mammals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles and amphibians. One endangered animal has been chosen to represent each state.

Donations to help support this project can be made at any Oregon Pacific Bank for the Be the Whale scholarship savings fund.

Promotional items sold at bethewhale.com also help fund the project.

Dolphin Players set gala for Oct. 24 Tickets for the Dolphin Players’ second annual Party at the Playhouse are now available.

Time to be adults about marijuana Our view Marijuana legalization’s time has come. Let’s be practical adults and deal with reality.

What do you think?

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

On Nov. 4 Oregon, along with Alaska and Washington, D.C., will vote on whether to legalize recreational marijuana, joining Washington state and Colorado, which legalized similar measures in 2012.

We’re going to urge a yes vote on this one.

Frankly, many Americans have grown weary of arguments to keep marijuana in the closet, so to speak. Too many common experiences have shown that the sinister and destructive spectre surrounding “the devil weed” simply are not true. Too many average, middle-ofthe-road Americans have seen that the history of marijuana criminalization

has been one of fear and coercion, misinformation and outright falsification.

The listing of marijuana as a Schedule I substance of the federal Controlled Substances Act — along with substances like heroin, LSD, Ecstasy and Quaalude — is ludicrous. The definition of Schedule I substances says they have no currently accepted medical use. But with marijuana, 19 states and the District of Columbia, plus 35,000 patients and more than 2,500 physicians would disagree.

The concern that marijuana carries high potential to be a “gateway” drug to more dangerous substances also has been grossly over-

stated. Again, peoples’ common experiences and common sense have shown that occasional recreational marijuana use doesn’t, in and of itself, create junkies.

Americans in general, including Oregonians, still seem to be slightly schizophrenic about this issue. In recent weeks at least 20 cities and counties across the state have been rushing to approve local taxes on marijuana hoping to cash in — even though elected leaders say they adamantly oppose legalization. What does that matter when it all becomes an issue of revenue at that point?

We’ve heard ominoussounding anecdotes of conspicuous increases in

marijuana use coming from Washington state and Colorado. But what can you expect? Those occurrences will likely run their course, and Oregon might as well get its bong binge over with, as well.

In our lifetime we’ve heard too many of the arguments against legalization that sound all too familiar to arguments we’ve heard in the past: against alcohol early last century, and later against interracial marriage, same-sex marriage and against immigration reform.

Time to be responsible adults about marijuana, and trust that the majority of other adults can be responsible, too.

About Ebola and the uninsured With the first diagnosed case of the deadly Ebola virus in the United States located in Dallas, Texans are understandably alarmed.

The patient just died. Gov. Rick Perry has established a task force to address the Ebola threat.

Not a bad idea but still a feeble response coming from a governor who refused to expand Medicaid in his state,leaving millions of his people outside the health care system.

About 6 million Texans are now walking around without health insurance. That’s almost 1 in 4 residents — the highest rate of uninsured in the country.

Of course, those without health coverage are least likely to have a relationship with a health care professional, someone they could contact about worrisome symptoms. And because vomiting and other signs of Ebola could indicate something far less serious, these mostly low-income people might put off going to a hospital until it’s too late.

But Perry was among the large group of soconservative called governors deeming it was more important to stick it to President Obama than to broaden health coverage in their states. Not surprisingly, the sharpest drops in the rates of the FROMA uninsured are in states HARROP that went along with the expansion. The rates Columnist remain nearly unchanged in the 23 nonparticipating states.

There was always a humanitarian reason for supporting the Affordable Care Act. Now we are seeing the self-interested reasons, which have been missing in most of the Obamacare debate. Covering all is essential to public health. Even the rich don’t enjoy divine protection from deadly infectious diseases. That the federal government is covering nearly the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion makes the excuses for not joining the program especially ugly.

And this is not just about Ebola. The flu is a communicable disease that typically kills 30,000 Americans a year, mainly the very old, the very young and the frail. Universal coverage can help contain that, as well.

The Ebola scare has overshadowed another frightening virus that has been diagnosed in hundreds of children since August — and that has just claimed the life of a 4-year-old in New Jersey. Enterovirus-68 has been found in 48 states, with significant numbers reported in Colorado, Illinois and Missouri.

This respiratory illness,which has been associated with partial paralysis, spreads the same way colds do, through saliva and other bodily fluids.

Controlling these diseases requires early quarantine of those infected, and how are you going to find people who would test positive if they don’t go to a medical facility?

Politicians who irresponsibly passed up an opportunity to bring such health services to their people are currently grasping at useless proposals.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal thinks the answer is to “stop accepting flights from countries that are Ebola stricken.” But what about the two nurses in Madrid who tested positive for the virus after treating a Spanish priest. Do we stop accepting flights from Spain, which has a pretty good health care system, of course covering everyone?

Jindal was inexplicably proud to decline $6 billion in federal money to expand Medicaid coverage in his state. Nearly 900,000 Louisianans currently lack health insurance.

“We should measure success by reducing the number of people on public assistance,” Jindal explained at the time.

There are many ways of measuring success in a society, widespread health coverage being one. Instead, we see a political failure that has left Americans more vulnerable to a deadly disease than they had to be. It’s really something.

Letters to the Editor City manager deserves praise I recently read in the paper that Matt Winkel was retiring from his long-held position as city manager for the city of Bandon. So often we see letters to the editor voicing complaints or negative views about things. I didn’t want to let the opportunity pass to write a positive letter in this regard.

I worked for Matt as finance director for the city of Bandon in 2003 and 2004. As a point of reference, I had, before that time, worked for two cities in California and one other city in Oregon over a period of about 12 years, and with five other city managers. In my experience, Matt did the best job as chief executive officer, in that he always kept in mind that he worked for the elected officials of the city. It didn’t matter who happened to be the mayor or members of the city council at the time. He always did his best to implement their objectives.

I hope that the city of Bandon appreciates Matt’s efforts; and I

wish him a long and healthy retirement.

Caution needed on vaccines The following is a list of ingredients found in many vaccines, including seasonal/H1N1 flu for adults and children.

Multi-dose flu vaccine includes thimerosol (ethyl mercury). Others may include: ammonium sulfate, beta-propiolactone, genetically modified yeast, animal bacterial and viral DNA, latex rubber, monosodium glutamate (MSG), aluminum hydroxide, formaldehyde, microorganisms, polysorbate 80, tributyl phosphate, glutaraldehyde, gelatin, gentamicin sulfate, polymyxin B, neomycin sulfate, phenol/phenoxyethanol (2-PE), human and animal cells (human cells from aborted fetal tissue and albumin, pig blood, horse blood, rabbit blood, sheep blood, calf serum and others) (ref 1, 2).

According to vaccine safety advocate, Louise Kuo Habakus, M.A., of the Center for Personal Rights, “The court is telling parents that they’re on their own.

Parents know that four out of five cases of vaccine injury do not get compensation in the misnamed Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The Supreme Court has slammed the courthouse doors shut.”

All injury cases must now be taken by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This program has passed out well over $2 billion to families of damaged children and guess who pays for it? Not the drug companies, but taxpayers who had nothing to do with the manufacturing of administration of these toxic products.

Who has the absolute immunity here? Nutritional and natural immunity seems to be lacking in school curriculum and seems to be replaced by the easy magic bullet approach.

Solution to poverty is not government Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared “War on Poverty.” It sounded great to me. I was taught at Princeton, “We’re a rich country. All we have to do is tax the rich, and then use that money to create programs that will lift the poor out of povercreated Government ty.” job-training programs for the strong and expanded social security for the weak.

It seemed to work. The poverty rate dropped from 17 percent to 12 percent in the programs’ first decade.Unfortunately,few people noticed that during the halfdecade before the “War,” the rate dropped from 22 percent to 17 percent. Without big government, Americans were already lifting themselves out of poverty!

Johnson’s War brought further progress, but progress then stopped. It stopped because government is not good at making a distinction between needy and lazy. It taught moms not to marry the father of their kids because that would reduce their welfare benefits. Welfare invited people to be dependent. Some people started to say, “Entry-level jobs are for suckers.” Many could live almost as well without the hassle of work.

Despite spending an astonishing $22 trillion dollars, despite 92 diff e r e n t g o ve r n m e n t welfare programs, poverty s t o p p e d JOHN declining.

Government’s STOSSEL answer? Spend Columnist more!

Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, points out that government measures “success” by the growth of programs: “based on inputs, how much money are we spending,how many programs are we creating, how many people are we putting on these programs — not on outcomes — how many people are we getting out of poverty? ... Many of these programs end up disincentivizing work — telling people it pays not to go to work because you’ll lose more in benefits than you gain in earning wages.”

That doesn’t mean the poor are lazy. It means they respond to incentives. They are rational about choosing behaviors that, at

least in the short term, pay off.

It’s not only welfare that makes it harder for the poor to climb the ladder of success. Well-intended laws, such as a minimum wage, hurt, too.

But most people don’t understand that. Even Republicans, according to opinion polls, support a higher minimum wage. A minimum sounds compassionate.

It’s hard to live on $7.25 an hour.

But setting a minimum is anything but compassionate because that eliminates starter jobs. The minimum wage is why kids don’t work as apprentices anymore, nor clean your windshield at gas stations. They never get hired because employers reason, “If I must pay $9, I’m not taking a chance on a beginner.”

To most economists, the claim that the minimum wage kills starter jobs is not controversial.

But it is among the general public.

And so politicians pander.

On my TV show last week, Rep. Jim McDermott (D., Wash.) says that people like Paul Ryan and I “just want to cut the size of government. And trust the private sector to do everything.”

Well ... yes. The private sector does just about everything better.

McDermott says, “This whole business about somehow raising the minimum wage causes a loss of jobs — if that’s true, why don’t we just drop the minimum wage altogether and let people work for a dollar a day or $1 an hour?”

OK, let’s do it! It’s not as if wages are set by the minimum wage.

That is a great conceit of the central planners: thinking that prevents government only employers from paying workers nearly nothing. But the reason Americans don’t work for $1 an hour is competition, not government minimums. Competition is what forces companies to pay workers more. It doesn’t much matter that the law says they can pay as low as $7.25. Only 4 percent of American workers now make that little; 95 percent make more.

The free market will sort this out, if politicians would just let it.

Left free, the market will provide the greatest benefit to workers, employers and consumers, while allowing charity as well.

It would all happen faster if politicians stopped imagining that they are the cause of everything.

Hackers breach state employment database STATE

PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Employment Department says hackers breached a database and could have seen Social Security numbers, addresses and birth dates for more than 851,000 job seekers.

The department says there’s no evidence anyone’s identity has been stolen, but anyone who has used the department’s website is urged to change their password.

The Oregonian reports tech experts verified the breach after receiving an anonymous tip on Oct. 6.

Security was restored the next day.

The department will offer credit-monitoring services for people who are affected.

People can learn whether their data was compromised by calling the department’s hotline, 877-643-4322.

Senate candidates meet in only debate

D I G E S T

MEDFORD (AP) — Sen. Jeff Merkley and Monica Wehby are facing off in their only debate of the Senate campaign.

The contest starts at 7 p.m. tonight at KOBI television in Medford.

The debate represents one of Republican Wehby’s last best chances to score a breakthrough challenging Democrat Merkley’s frontrunner status. Mail ballots go out Wednesday for the Nov. 4 election.

Wehby is a pediatric neurosurgeon who is moderate on social issues and an expert on health care. Early on she had figured strongly in Republican strategy to take over control of the Senate, but a series of missteps has left her struggling.

Lately Merkley has been stressing allegations that Wehby — who characterizes herself as an independent thinker — took her health and economic plans almost word for word from other Republicans.

ROSEBURG (AP) — The search is being scaled back for a hunter lost since Thursday in rugged country southeast of Roseburg.

The Douglas County sheriff’s office says 20-yearold Travis “TJ” Anderson of Myrtle Creek called his father on a radio Thursday afternoon, reporting he was at a waterfall, had severe blisters and could not continue.

A National Guard helicopter joined search teams Friday near the community Tiller. They located a campfire and the missing hunter’s hat.

The sheriff’s office says the search continues, but operations are being scaled back until new information turns up.

Nation Obama to meet with allies on militant fight WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and his military commanders will meet Tuesday with defense chiefs from more than 20 nations participating in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.

The daylong meeting comes as the White House tries to tout progress in the U.S.-led campaign against the militants, while also girding the public for a military effort that could extend well beyond Obama’s presidency.

Administration officials said the meeting would focus on military strategy and ways to bolster the campaign to counter the extremists.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the meeting would be an important effort to further coordinate and organize the international fight against the Islamic State militants.

“They will be working through those specific areas and defining specific contributions that these nations will make,” Hagel told reporters at the end of Monday’s meeting with defense ministers of the Americas in Arequipa, Peru.

Among the countries represented Tuesday will be Arab nations that have joined the U.S. in launching strikes against the militants in Syria, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

European partners like Britain and France are also participating, as is Turkey, a key NATO ally that neighbors both Syria and Iraq.

Obama and the Midterms: What’s at stake?

WASHINGTON (AP) — For President Barack Obama, the stark reality of the looming midterm elections is that the best outcome for his party gets him nothing but two more years of the status quo.

Two more years of a divided Congress. Two more years battling a Republican-led House that sees little overlap with the president’s priorities.

And two more years that are likely to pass without the kind of legacy-building legislation that has eluded the president throughout his second term.

And yet to White House aides, it sure beats the alternative — a Republican takeover of the Senate.

“Who sets the agenda in the Senate matters in a big The Associated Press way,” said Dan Pfeiffer, President Barack Obama speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on Sept. 30.

2,058-pound gourd sets tournament record HALF MOON BAY, Calif.

(AP) — A gourd weighing 2,058 pounds took first prize and set a new tournament record Monday at an annual pumpkin-weighing contest in Northern California.

John Hawkley, 56, won this year’s Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-off in Half Moon Bay south of San Francisco.

Hawkley “squashed” his competition, beating the runner-up by more than 300 pounds, Tim Beeman, a spokesman for the weigh-off said.

Hawkley — a production manager for a local newspaper — credited his success at least in part to warm weather. He ended up with a total of six pumpkins on a 4,500square-foot patch of land in his front yard in California’s Napa Valley, which is famous for its wine grapes. One of the other pumpkins also weighed more than 2,000 pounds.

“My wife said this is as much pumpkin patch area as I’m going to get,” he said.

Hawkley said he will use the more-than $13,000 in

All 30 pumpkins weighed at this year’s tournament were from California, according to Beeman. The contest normally gets growers from Oregon and Washington as well.

Last year’s winner was also from the Napa Valley and came in at 1,985 pounds.

Hawkley’s gourd will be on display this weekend at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival.

NATIONAL D I G E S T Zuckerberg, wife donate to CDC for Ebola NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are donating $25 million to the CDC Foundation to help address the Ebola epidemic.

The money will be used by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Ebola response effort in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone and elsewhere in the world where Ebola is a threat, the foundation said Tuesday.

The grant follows a $9 million donation made by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen last month. Zuckerberg and Chan are making the grant from their fund at the nonprofit Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

Citigroup to exit 11 markets NEW YORK (AP) — Citigroup said Tuesday that it will bow out of the retail banking business in 11 markets as part of its ongoing effort to restructure and slim down since the financial crisis.

Citi said the markets impacted would primarily be in smaller countries in Latin America: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru.

It will also exit the consumer banking business in Egypt, Japan, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Guam.

The bank said the sale of the businesses was underway in the majority of the markets affected. Citi expects the sales to be substantially complete by the end of 2015.

Tour bus crashes, several injured INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A double-decker passenger bus flipped onto its side on a highway in suburban Indianapolis on Tuesday after apparently swerving to avoid an earlier crash, badly injuring one person and hurting more than a dozen others, officials said.

The bus, operated by the Megabus line, was traveling from Atlanta to Chicago, said Sean Hughes, a spokesman for the line’s parent company, Coach USA North America. It was carrying between 50 and 60 people when it crashed about 4:30 a.m. on Interstate 65, when the driver apparently tried to avoid the accident that had occurred about 10 minutes earlier, state police Sgt. Shawn O’Keefe said.

Giffords to begin tour on women, guns AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords will begin a ninestate tour in Maine, where she will advocate for tougher gun laws that she says will help protect women and families.

The former Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, who was severely wounded in a 2011 shooting in Tucson that killed six people, will seek to elevate the issue of gun violence against women and push for state and federal action to make it more difficult for domestic abusers to access firearms.

Giffords, who was shot in the head, remains partially paralyzed and continues to have difficulty speaking.

Most states don’t regulate hayrides MECHANIC FALLS, Maine (AP) — Maine, like most states, doesn’t have strict regulations for hayrides, including the one that lurched down a steep hill and into a tree over the weekend, killing a 17-year-old girl and injuring more than 20 others.

A mechanical problem caused a Jeep towing a wagon full of passengers in Mechanic Falls to crash during a Halloween-themed hayride at Harvest Hills Farm on Saturday, authorities said.

Cassidy Charette, of Oakland, died from head injuries, police said. have Maine doesn’t statutes that regulate hayrides, the state fire marshal’s office has said. Rhode Island is the only state that appears to explicitly require a permit to operate hayrides, said James Hanseen, a transportation researcher at the National Conference of State Legislatures.

World UN worker dies of Ebola BERLIN (AP) — A United Nations medical worker who was infected with Ebola in Liberia has died despite “intensive medical procedures,” a German hospital said Tuesday.

The St. Georg hospital in Leipzig said the 56-year-old man, whose name has not been released, died overnight of the infection. It released no further details and did not answer telephone calls.

The man tested positive for Ebola on Oct. 6, prompting Liberia’s UN peacekeeping mission to place 41 staff members who had possibly been in contact with him under “close medical observation.”

He arrived in Leipzig for treatment on Oct. 9. The hospital’s chief executive, Dr. Iris Minde, said at the time that there was no risk of infection for other patients, relatives, visitors or the public.

The man was kept in a secure isolation ward specially equipped with negative pressure rooms that are hermetically sealed and can only be accessed through a number of airlocks. All air and fluids are filtered and all equipment is decontaminated after use, Minde said.

The Ebola patient was the third to be flown to Germany for treatment.

The first, a Senegalese man infected with Ebola while working for the World Health Organization in Sierra Leone was brought to a Hamburg hospital in late August for treatment. The man was released Oct. 3 after recovering and returned to his home country, the hospital said.

Another patient, a Ugandan man who worked for an Italian aid group in West Africa, is undergoing treatment in a Frankfurt hospital.

Leader reappears in public after 40-day absence SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — After vanishing from the public eye for nearly six weeks, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is back, ending rumors that he was gravely ill, deposed or worse.

Now, a new, albeit smaller, mystery has emerged: Why the cane?

Kim, who was last seen publicly at a Sept. 3 concert, appeared in images released by state media Tuesday smiling broadly and supporting himself with a walking stick while touring the newly built Wisong Scientists Residential District and another new institute in The Associated Press Pyongyang, part of his regular Smoke rises following an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition in Kobani, Syria as fighting continues between “field guidance” tours. The Syrian Kurds and the militants of Islamic State group, as seen from Mursitpinar, on the outskirts of Suruc, at North didn’t say when the visit happened, nor did it address the Turkey-Syria border, Tuesday, Oct. 14,. the leader’s health.

Turkish jets hit rebel targets ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish warplanes have struck suspected Kurdish rebel positions in southeastern Turkey, media reports said Tuesday, the first major airstrikes against the rebel group since peace talks began two years ago to end a 30-year insurgency.

The attack comes amid heightened tensions in Turkey over Islamic State militants’ advance on the Syrian town of Kobani. Kurds in Turkey accuse the government of standing idly by while Syrian Kurds are being slaughtered in the besieged town across the border.

The return to violence between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, illustrates the complicated position Turkey faces as it negotiates its role with the U.S. and NATO allies in the anti-Islamic State coalition.

The PKK and affiliated groups, including fighters defending Kobani, are an important force on the ground in both Iraq and Syria fighting the Islamic State group. But Turkey still views the PKK as a dangerous terrorist adversary.

Turkish media had varying accounts of the strikes, but the private Dogan news

agency said Turkish F-16 jets hit PKK targets in Hakkari province, near the border with Iraq on Monday.

A military statement said Tuesday that the rebels attacked an outpost in Hakkari with long-barreled weapons Monday, prompting the military to retaliate using fire support vehicles. The statement made no mention of any airstrikes. An earlier statement said the armed forces had responded “in the strongest way” to a rebel attack.

Firat news agency, which is close to the PKK, confirmed the airstrikes, saying at least five locations around Hakkari were targeted. The agency had a different version of events, however, saying that the military had attacked rebel fighters in the region with artillery for three days, forcing the PKK to retaliate by firing at a military unit.

Kurdish leaders, including jailed PKK chief Abdullah Ocalan, have warned that the fall of Kobani will end the peace process, while PKK commander Cemal Bayik has been quoted in Turkish media as saying that some fighters who had withdrawn from Turkish territory as

part of the peace efforts have now returned to Turkey.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu accused Kurds of using the peace process as a means to “blackmail” Turkey into taking action to defend Kobani, but said his government is determined to press ahead with efforts to bring about peace.

More than 30 people were killed last week as Kurds, angered at what they said was Turkish impediment to efforts to defend Kobani, clashed with police and supporters of an Islamist group in cities across Turkey. At least two police officers were among the dead, according to Turkish authorities.

Turkey has said it won’t join the fight against the Islamic State militants unless the U.S.-led coalition also targets Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.

The PKK has fought Turkey for autonomy for Kurds in a conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 1984.

Kurds, who make up an estimated 20 percent of Turkey’s 75 million people, have faced decades of discrimination, including restrictions

Pistorius portrayed as ‘poor victim’ PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius was being portrayed as a “poor victim” ahead of his sentencing for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the chief prosecutor said Tuesday.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel was cross-examining Pistorius’ agent, Peet van Zyl, on the second day of a sentencing hearing in South Africa for the doubleamputee Olympic runner who was found guilty last month of culpable homicide by Judge Thokozile Masipa.

The judge has wide latitude when deciding on a sentence. Pistorius, 27, could receive a fine and a suspended jail sentence or as many as 15 years in prison.

Police chip away at occupied zones HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong police cleared more barricades Tuesday from pro-democracy protest zones that have choked off traffic in key business districts for more than two weeks, signaling authorities’ growing impatience with the student-led activists.

Appearing to use a strategy of gradually chipping away at the three main protest zones, hundreds of police used electric saws and bolt cutters to take down barriers made of

WORLD D I G E S T bamboo and other materials that the protesters had erected overnight in the Admiralty area after a few dozen masked men stormed some of the barricades the day before.

Amnesty warns Iraqi Shiite militias BAGHDAD (AP) — Amnesty International says Iraq’s Shiite militias have abducted and killed “scores” of Sunni civilians in retaliation for the onslaught of the Sunni militant Islamic State group.

The rights watchdog says these attacks are supported

by Iraq’s government, and that the Shiites are not prosecuted for their crimes.

Amnesty’s senior adviser Donatella Rovera is accusing the Shiite-led government in Baghdad of “sanctioning war crimes and fueling a dangerous cycle of sectarian violence that is tearing the country apart.”

Amnesty says the fate of many of the Sunni abductees remains unknown and that some captives have been killed even after their families paid ransoms of $80,000 and more.

Signs of sympathy for Islamic State group ISTANBUL (AP) — Istanbul University student Aysegul Korkut is outraged by the images coming out of Syria.

But these days the Islamic State group’s horrors seem closer to home: She recently faced off against masked supporters of the brutal militants on her own campus.

“I couldn’t understand what was happening at first,” the 21year-old said of the moment she first spotted baton-wielding youths striding across the Department of Literature, shouting: “Allahu Akbar!”

Within minutes, she and other leftist students had been sucked into a fight, with both sides hurling glass bottles at each other.

As difficult as it has been to resolve fraud, given the time-sensitive nature of the crime, a greater focus on preventive measures has improved the level of case resolution.

“Modern technology is instrumental in helping us solve these cases,” Chapanar said. “In addition, stores are getting better at educating their employees on this type of activity.”

Obama met with national security adviser Susan Rice, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and Lisa Monaco, his top aide on homeland security and counterterrorism issues.

Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

joined the meeting by phone.

The White House said and Frieden Burwell described an increase in resources and personnel to help investigate the Dallas case as well as steps to increase training for public health workers across the country. The White House said Obama stressed that the investigation move quickly

to better inform the response to the illness.

The nurse had treated a Liberian man who died at the hospital after bringing the disease from Liberia.

The meeting came shortly after Frieden urged hospitals to be on greater alert for patients with fever or symptoms of Ebola who have traveled from the three

African Ebola-stricken nations in the past 21 days.

The CDC is now monitoring all hospital workers who treated the Liberian man.

Frieden said he wouldn’t be surprised if another hospital worker who cared for that patient when he was very sick becomes ill.

The White House said that in his call with Ban,

Obama “stressed the need for all U.N. member states to support the U.N. appeal, and to provide the personnel, equipment, and supplies required to stop the epidemic at its source and halt the devastating impact of this crisis on the affected countries and their citizens.”

Obama has tried to maintain a high profile on the crisis.

anytime they are contacted and asked to provide personal information.

“We’ve seen a lot of phone calls saying ‘this is the fraud center,’” Williams said.

“People need to remember that financial institutions would never ask for your personal information over the phone.”

Coos County is not alone in seeing a recent surge in fraudulent activities.

In the most recent Victims of Identity Theft report, the U.S. Department of Justice said approximately 16.6 million people fell victim to at least one incident of identity theft during the 2012 calendar year.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office also issued a news release Sept. 26 for multiple reports of mail theft.

With the holiday season, there is an even greater urgency for community members to monitor financial transactions with these months seeing a greater number of financial transactions.

“We definitely see an increase in this type of activity as we get closer to the holidays,” Chapanar said.

Wells Fargo is doing its part to better educate consumers on the preventative measures they can take to avoid fraud.

On Oct. 18, the bank is holding the Get Smart About Credit Day, which allows consumers the opportunity to learn how to protect and improve their credit scores.

As part of the programs.

Wells Fargo is also offering a complimentary free credit report and score until Nov. 16.

While technology has allowed law enforcement officials to make greater strides in solving fraud cases, Williams said it’s also made it easier for crimes to take place.

“As consumers, we try to make things more convenient,” Williams said. “But when we do, we open ourup to more selves opportunities for fraud.”

“Why? Why didn’t anybody take care of my brother?” said Brown’s sister, Melissa Brown-Corcoran.

“An autopsy showed ...

Mr. Brown had two ulcers that had become so severe that they both perforated through the wall of the duodenum and allowed the contents of his stomach to flow into his abdominal cavity, leading to massive acute peritonitis and death,” according to the lawsuit.

A second lawsuit was also filed Monday on behalf of Ronald Taylor, who says his medical needs were also ignored around the same time as Brown’s death. He was taken to the hospital after Brown died, he said, where one of his testicles had to be removed. He seeks $1.05 million from the county and Conmed.

“Conmed correctional health care and Coos County Sheriff’s Department both

have failed to setup the proper procedures, hire adequate staff and train people adequately so that they can respond to this kind of situation and know how to provide the right medical care and know when to send a person to the hospital,” Haile said.

Coos County Jail staff declined comment.

The lawsuit seeks approximately $5 million from the county and Conmed.

“The focus of the lawsuit that’s being filed in federal court today is less to focus blame on individuals who may have been involved in preventing the medical care from happening here, it’s ... to focus this lawsuit ... on the institutions and the systems that failed here,” Haile said.

Brown’s family cried throughout the news conference, expressing their disbelief at how long Brown was allegedly sick and in

Jason Younker joined his father Tom in the North Bend High School Hall of Fame when he was inducted Friday night. Jason graduated from North Bend in 1986.

Bulldogs induct 15th class to Hall

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — If one theme stood out for the five people inducted into the North Bend High School Hall of Fame last week, it wasn’t their individual achievements.

“Every single one of them made people around them better,” North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester said.

The group included Ennis Keizer, who had a medical career spanning half a century that included founding North Bend Medical Center; Ken Lyons, who touched thousands of students as a swim instructor and coach; Doug Schmidt, who helped develop the OnStar technology used in vehicles; Jason Younker, who was a three-sport star who played baseball on the college and pro level after high school before becoming a college professor; and Janee Olds, the point guard on North Bend’s first state champion girls team in any sport.

“These people represent what is good about high school athletics, academics and civic achievement,” said Rick Stevens, who served as master of ceremonies for the school’s 15th hall of fame ceremony.

The inductees for the new hall of fame class, or family members in the case of Keizer and Lyons, who are deceased, said they were proud of their time at North Bend and proud to represent the community.

“My grandfather was a remarkable man and did so much in this community,” said Dr. PJ Keizer, who represented Ennis, a 1926 graduate.

Ennis Keizer went to medical school and returned to North Bend to help his father and uncle run Keizer Hospital.

When both his dad and uncle died, he became director of the hospital only a short time out of medical school.

During his long career in North Bend, Keizer was a

Janee Olds, from the Class of 2005, was one of five inducted this year into the school’s Hall of Fame. member of many community groups as well as chairman of the Oregon Welfare Commission under three different governors.

“This was a case of a graduate of North Bend High School who came back and made a difference in the city of North Bend,” said Keizer’s son, Phil, in a video tribute to his father played at the ceremony.

Unlike Keizer, Lyons didn’t grow up in North Bend. Rather, he came to the community to become the swimming director

in 1962. But he made a big impact on the community all the same.

Lyons, too, was represented by a grandson, Jason Hayes, who described him as a great family man.

“To me, he was like a superhero,” Hayes said. “He amazed me as a child and still to this day.”

Lyons had a way of motivating people, whether they were students in a swimming class or athletes on his teams.

“My grandfather was a suc-

cess in nearly all aspects of his life and he brought this success to the North Bend swimming program,” Hayes said, adding that the time in North Bend meant a lot to Lyons.

“I know he was proud to represent this town.”

Schmidt, who graduated in 1983, was co-captain of the North Bend basketball team, co-editor of the yearbook and Mr. Hesperia as a senior, but his greatest impacts followed his time in North Bend.

Still, he took time to recognize current and former educators.

“I want to thank the current North Bend High School administrators and supporters,” he said. “As a North Bend student, I had the constant support of educators and coaches.”

Following high school, Schmidt served in the U.S. Air Force, becoming a survival specialist during Operation Desert Storm.

“I directly attribute my military training success to my time at North Bend High School and volunteering at the North Bend Fire Department and my role as altar boy and Eucharistic minister at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church,” he said.

Schmidt earn an engineering degree in Indiana and became the lead electrical hardware engineer for the OnStar system, among many achievements.

“This has been my first 30 years (after high school),” he said. “I am just getting warmed up.”

Younker, who graduated in 1986, was a three-sport star for the Bulldogs and the son of longtime coach Tom Younker.

He said the induction ceremony stirred fond memories.

“I wrote my dissertation on how places help you remember things,” he said. “I grew up in this gym.”

POWERS — The team didn’t play as well as it has in recent weeks, but Powers seniors Riley Middlebrook, Riley Baldwin and Kay Martinez were able to walk off the volleyball court winners of their final home match Monday.

The Cruisers beat Pacific 25-21, 25-13, 1125, 25-14, moving to 7-5 in Skyline League play heading into Friday’s regular-season finale at New Hope Christian.

The seniors couldn’t explain why they didn’t play as well as recent matches, including when they became the first league team to take a game from North Douglas last week.

But they knew what they weren’t doing right.

“We didn’t communicate as well,” Baldwin said. “We didn’t move our feet as well as we should have.”

They still were able to beat the Pirates, behind strong serving and solid defense.

Martinez and Middlebrook finished with a team-best 11 digs. Martinez added four kills, while Middlebrook, the Cruisers’ setter, had three aces, eight assists and two kills.

Baldwin had three aces, five digs and three kills in her final home match.

Emilie Fandel had six kills and six aces and Elizabeth Standley and Kendall Kinyon combined for six more aces — the Cruisers had 19 as a team.

“They’re usually pretty consistent (serving),” Powers coach Heather Shorb said, adding “I think our defense has been pretty good.”

The Cruisers have been good enough in their other matches to wrap up third place in the Skyline League’s South Division, which means a spot in the first round of the league playoffs.

“I’m excited we’re going to the playoffs,” Middlebrook said. “We haven’t done that in my four years.”

The league playoffs will be a reward for the team’s season.

“I’m excited about how we’re playing,” Baldwin said. “We’ve come together so well.”

That showed last week against North Douglas. Even though the Cruisers ultimately lost the match, taking the third game against the Warriors was “so far, the highlight of our season,” Martinez said.

In the league playoffs, Powers will travel to Days Creek next Thursday. They first will face Umpqua Valley Christian or Yoncalla, whichever is the fourth-place team from the North Division. If they win that match, they then will go against Days Creek for a spot in the final league tournament.

Shorb said the Cruisers will need to play like they did against North Douglas, not Pacific.

“We can’t make some of the focus errors we made tonight,” she said. “We have to attack more.”

While Powers will see its season extend beyond this week, Pacific’s ends at home Thursday against Glendale. The Pirates will celebrate senior night for Brittany Figueroa and Jasmine Hardcastle.

They were among the Pacific players who played well Monday.

Figueroa, the Pirates’ setter, had eight assists and five digs. Hardcastle had six digs and six kills.

Alecia Finley finished with 12 digs and five kills, while Jessica Martinez had seven digs and two kills and Julianna Walker had eight digs and two aces.

As a team, Pacific has improved this season, even if the win-loss record doesn’t reflect it — the Pirates are 0-12 in league play.

“They’ve done good things,” coach Wendy Valentine said. “And they’re good kids.”

49ers come from behind for Monday night win ST. LOUIS (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers defense got beat early by unfamiliar plays and Austin Davis calling the signals.

“No disrespect, but I didn’t know who their quarterback was,” linebacker Ahmad Brooks said. “We got some good pressure on him. That helped us.”

Davis was sacked five times, twice each

by Brooks and Dan Skuta. They carried the day, keeping the St. Louis Rams offense stalled, and giving Colin Kaepernick a chance to warm up in a 31-17 victory on Monday night.

Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns for the 49ers, who erased an early 14-point deficit. The defense stepped up again when Dontae Johnson returned an interception return for a TD in the final minute to seal it.

“Talk about an opportunity, I had the chance to make a play,” Johnson said.

Brandon Lloyd, Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree each caught a scoring pass for the 49ers (4-2), who have won three in a row. The 49ers permitted one first down on St. Louis’ first six possessions of the second half.

“We’ve had the ball in every game with a chance to either win or tie,” Davis said.

“That’s where hopefully my experience will help, the more opportunities I get.

“You’ve got to be able to go win games at the end.”

Kaepernick had plenty of time to throw and wasn’t sacked.

“We just want to win,” Kaepernick said.

“Whatever it takes, if we’re up with the lead

The Associated Press

San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Lloyd catches an 80-yard touchdown pass in front of St. Louis Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins in the second quarter Monday. or if we have to come from behind.”

Kaepernick found Boldin zipping across the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown pass, capping a go-ahead 80-yard drive to start the second half. As the Niners were taking the 17-14 lead, several fans in the upper deck unfurled a large banner above the videoboard on the opposite end of the stadium as part of ongoing protests about the Michael Brown shooting in suburban

Ferguson in August.

San Francisco then added to its advantage when Kaepernick connected with Crabtree for a 32-yard score with 13 seconds left in the third.

The Rams had one last chance to tie the game, but Johnson returned an interception 20 yards for the clinching score with 53 seconds to go.

It was a disappointing conclusion for St.

Louis, which had 151 yards and a 14-0 lead after the first quarter on Benny Cunningham’s 1-yard run and a 22-yard touchdown reception for Lance Kendricks.

“We always see different looks in a game,” Skuta said. “They hadn’t done some of the things they did early. We adjusted and we kept playing, that’s something we do really well.”

St. Louis wore throwback uniforms — royal blue and bright yellow — to honor its 1999 Super Bowl title team and represented that winning squad very well for a short time. Guard Adam Timmerman joined wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt for an impromptu bob n’ weave TD dance in the end zone at halftime.

The Rams haven’t had a winning season since the Greatest Show on Turf petered out in 2003. They doubled their first-quarter scoring for the year with a start that mimicked their last home game when they led Dallas 21-0.

They lost that one 34-31, and this one was all San Francisco the rest of the way.

The 49ers scuffled to a 1-2 start coming off a third straight appearance in the NFC championship game, but have won 13 of their last 14 in October.

Davis was 21 of 42 for 236 yards. He threw for 300 yards each of the last two games with six touchdown passes.

Three of Davis’ four interceptions have been returned for touchdowns, all in the fourth quarter at home.

Sports Rain puts hold on ALCS schedule KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The last two times the Kansas City Royals played a postseason game at home, rain fell after the final out.

This time, it started well before the first pitch.

Game 3 of the AL Championship Series between the Royals and Baltimore Orioles was postponed Monday because of steady rain that saturated Kauffman Stadium. The game was rescheduled for Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. EDT. Along with steady rain, wind gusts of 25 mph were buffeting the ballpark. The forecast for Tuesday is cold and windy but dry, with weather improving the rest of the week.

“We want a game we know we can get through nine innings, hopefully play dry baseball, not risk player safety or uncomfortable fans,” Major League Baseball Senior Vice President Peter Woodfork said about 4 hours before the scheduled first pitch.

The Royals, who lead the best-of-seven series 2-0, will keep former Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the mound for Game 3. The Orioles will start Wei-Yin Chen, as planned.

After that, rotations become a little murky.

Royals manager Ned Yost said he’ll decide before tonight’s game whether to stick with left-hander Jason Vargas for Game 4 on Wednesday or call for an audible and pitch Game 1 starter James Shields on regular rest. That game is scheduled to start at 1:07 p.m. PDT. “Guthrie will throw tomorrow, and then we’ll go from there,” Yost said. “Shields can come back or if we feel like we want to give him another day, we can do that, too.”

Orioles manager Buck Showalter was facing a similar conundrum. Miguel Gonzalez was slated to start Game 4, but

Chris Tillman could return on regular rest. He opposed Shields when the Royals beat the Orioles in extra innings in the series opener.

“He’s on normal rest, so yeah, he’s an option,” Showalter said. “That’d be five (days), right? But I wouldn’t commit to anything right now other than Chen and see where we are.”

It’s not a slam-dunk decision for Yost and Showalter to go with their aces. Shields and Tillman struggled Friday night, neither lasting past the fifth inning.

“We’re still getting our arms wrapped around it,” Showalter said.

If needed, Game 5 would start at 4:07 p.m. EDT on Thursday. Games 6 and 7 would return to Baltimore and be played Friday and Saturday, as scheduled.

“Our teams are used to play consecutive games in a row,” Woodfork said.

“Hopefully it will not have a negative impact on the clubs.”

Rain had been in the forecast for the first two games of the ALCS at Camden Yards, but both games were played without delay. The Royals won the first 8-6 in 10 innings, and Alcides Esocbar’s go-ahead double in the ninth inning boosted them to a 6-4 victory Saturday.

Since the best-of-seven format was adopted in 1985,all 11 teams that have won the first two games of a league championship series on the road reached the World Series.

That doesn’t seem to have put a damper on the Orioles’ confidence.

“We’ve played two close games that have gone their way. We’ve had our chances,” Orioles reliever Andrew Miller said. “We can stop their momentum with a win.

They stopped ours. They came in and we hadn’t lost in a while. We’ve got to experience that. Now it’s our turn.”

New Arizona Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale talks about managing the club during a news conference Monday after he was hired to replace fired Kirk Gibson as the Diamondbacks manager.

Hale returns to Arizona as manager PHOENIX (AP) — Chip Hale spent 10 seasons in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ organization, the final three as the major league third base coach. He also played at the University of Arizona and still lives in Tucson.

If ever there was a perfect fit for Hale’s first job as a big league manager, it was with the Diamondbacks, who gave him a two-year contract Monday to replace Kirk Gibson.

“This is the perfect job for me and my family, and that is important for me to be here,” Hale said.

Backsliding since winning the 2011 NL West title, the Diamondbacks underwent a major front-office overhaul this season.

Arizona hired retired Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa as chief baseball officer in May, asking him to assess the entire organization.

He fired general manager Kevin Towers in early September and replaced him with Dave Stewart, who a fourtime 20-game winner who pitched for La Russa while with Oakland. The Diamondbacks also hired De Jon Watson from the Los Angeles Dodgers to serve as senior vice president/baseball operations.

office group was to find a manager who could change the culture within the clubhouse.

Gibson led Arizona to a division title his first full season, but the Diamondbacks following with consecutive 81-81 seasons and went a big league-worst 64-98 this year.

Arizona hopes Hale is the perfect fit to turn around the franchise. He played multiple positions during a 12-year career that included stops with Minnesota and the Dodgers, hitting .277 in 333 big league games.

Hale spent six seasons in Arizona’s minor league system as a coach, earning numerous manager of the year awards along the way, and served as third base coach under Bob Melvin with the Diamondbacks from 2007-09.

Hale spent 2010-11 with the New Mets as third base coach and reunited with Melvin in Oakland, where he spent the past three seasons as bench coach.

“It was just the completeness of his background and the way he presented himself,” La Russa said. “We were looking for a leader and a guy who knew baseball, and there wasn’t a box that wasn’t checked.”

Hale emerged from a strong list of candidates.

La Russa was open about the process from the start, providing the names of all nine of the initial candidates. Arizona whittled the contenders down to four and chose Hale over former big league manager Jim Tracy, Triple-A Reno manager Phil Nevin and Cleveland Indians third base coach Sandy Alomar, Jr. “We’ve learned that when you have a real good competition, the guy who survives is better off rather than somebody gift-wrapping the job and nobody pushing him,” La Russa said.

Hale had interviewed for managerial positions before and was turned down.

When the job openings started this season, it seemed almost like an omen to him.

Hale learned to play in the big leagues under Tom Kelly with the Twins, who fired Ron Gardenhire.

Arizona was the place where Hale learned coaching, and the Diamondbacks needed a new manager after they fired Gibson. He ended up back with the Diamondbacks and couldn’t be happier.

“It was an exciting time to interview.

I’ve done it a couple times, and really felt good when I walked in that room, like this is where I belong,” Hale said. “It feels good to be home.”

NC State suspends seven players THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State has suspended seven players — including two starters — for this week’s game against Louisville after what the school says was a BB gun incident.

Coach Dave Doeren announced the suspensions Monday and said the players were playing a game with the BB guns at an o f f- ca m pus residence.

Among the suspended players are linebacker Jerod Fernandez and safety Josh Jones — both of whom started the 30-14 home loss to Boston College on Saturday.

The other suspended players were receivers Johnathan Alston and Jumichael Ramos, defensive linemen Justin Jones and Pharoah McKever and cornerback Mike Stevens.

Additionally, five freshmen who are redshirting this season — Tyler Jones, Kalen Deyshawn McCain, Middleton, Terronne Prescod and Maurice Trowell — have been placed on team probation.

Buffalo fires coach after poor start to season BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo has fired coach Jeff Quinn two days after the Bulls lost to Eastern Michigan. Athletic director Danny White announced the decision in a statement Monday.

Quinn, 52, was in his fifth season with the Bulls, who are 3-4 with two victories against FCS teams. He was 20-36 overall.

The Bulls had their best season under Quinn last year, going 8-5 with a bowl trip to

Idaho. Linebacker Khalil Mack went on to be the fifthoverall pick in the NFL draft.

The Bulls lost 37-27 to Eastern Michigan on Saturday. It was the Eagles’ first win of the season against an FBS team.

Before being hired by Buffalo to replace Turner Gill, Quinn spent 21 years as an assistant under Brian Kelly at Cincinnati, Central Michigan and Grand Valley State.

NFL Dolphins lose Moreno for season to injury DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins running back Knowshon Moreno has been placed on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury.

The move came today, two days after Moreno hurt his anterior cruciate ligament in the Dolphins’ loss to Green Bay. Moreno had missed the two previous games with an elbow injury. He led the NFL with 134 yards rushing in Week 1.

Moreno signed a $3.275 million, one-year contract in March after five seasons with the Denver Broncos. His injury likely means a heavier load for Lamar Miller, who is averaging 5.2 yards per carry this season.

The Dolphins also reinstated reserve defensive lineman Derrick Shelby from his suspension, which came after he was arrested on misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and trespassing at a nightclub.

mission to seek a trade.

Whaley said Monday that Williams’ agent, Hadley Englehard, asked to gauge interest from other teams in a possible trade. But Whaley says the Bills aren’t actively pursuing a trade.

Williams was inactive for Sunday’s 37-22 loss to the New England Patriots.

Williams started the Bills’ first four games, but coach Doug Marrone said Sunday’s game plan called for the Bills to activate a third tight end in place of one of the team’s wide receivers.

The Bills acquired Williams in April for a seventh-round draft choice in a trade with Tampa Bay. He has eight catches for 142 yards and a touchdown in five games this season.

BOXING Spinks is hospitalized with abdominal problem

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills General Manager Doug Whaley granted the agent for wide receiver Mike Williams per-

LAS VEGAS — Former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks is in a Las Vegas hospital after a second operation for abdominal problems.

The 61-year-old boxer who catapulted to fame by beating Muhammad Ali in 1978 had the second surgery in recent days after complications from the first emergency surgery.

His wife updated The Associated Press on her husband’s condition, saying “it’s going to be a long road ahead, but he’s strong and he’s starting to recover.” Brenda Spinks does not know how long he will be hospitalized but the family is optimistic.

Spinks won an Olympic gold medal in 1976. After just seven pro fights he defeated Ali in a 15-round decision in Las Vegas, only to lose the title in a rematch seven months later in New Orleans.

their opening drive capped

by Cunningham’s TD behind extra lineman Tim Barnes.

Rookie Tre Mason’s first career carry was a 24-yarder that might have gone the distance had he not run into teammate Brian Quick. Three plays later, Kendricks got well behind the defense on a 22-yard catch that made it 14-0 late in the first.

The 49ers inched back on Phil Dawson’s 54-yard field goal, his 10th in a row with four beyond midfield. They were backed up at their own 5 inside the two-minute warning but declined to play it safe and Lloyd whipped Janoris Jenkins in single coverage on an 80-yard touchdown catch with 14 seconds left in the half.

Bills will allow receiver Williams to seek trade

Danica Patrick hits the wall between Turn 3 and 4 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday.

The big fireworks came after the race when two different drivers scuffled with Brad Keselowski.

NASCAR ponders punishment Hamlin on the cool-down lap, then hit Kenseth’s car on pit road.

Hamlin admitted to being angry with Keselowski over the way he raced Hamlin over the final two laps, and he brake-checked him to send his message. Keselowski tried to spin him in retaliation but missed, then headed to pit road to deal with Kenseth.

Upset over damage he believed Kenseth had done to his car under yellow with six laps remaining, Keselowski hit Kenseth, which led one of them to run into unwitting victim Tony Stewart.

Both drivers were livid — Stewart backed his car up and into Keselowski’s as payback — and Kenseth hustled into the garage to exact his own justice.

Only Kenseth had to get in line: Hamlin followed Keselowski, and the two cars weaved through a crowded garage area until coming to a stop. Hamlin had to be restrained by crew members from getting to Keselowski when both drivers climbed from their cars.

Keselowski then headed between the Team Penske haulers toward a side door, but was jumped from behind by Kenseth. The melee was quickly broken up, but the visuals of drivers losing their cool became the immediate headline of the race.

Never mind that Kevin Harvick won to earn an automatic berth into the third round of the Chase, or that Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a mechanical problem to put his season on the ropes, or that Jimmie Johnson had an in-race verbal spat with his crew chief. Heck, even Danica Patrick’s threat to intentionally wreck Logano was forgotten.

All of it fell to the wayside once drivers started slamming their cars into each other and the always mild-mannered Kenseth had to be peeled off a rival driver.

It should be noted that when secondplace finisher Jeff Gordon entered the media center for his post-race obligations, the first words out of his mouth

Skirmishes followed race at Charlotte on Saturday ■

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR Chairman Brian France has always been very clear about the action he wants to see in races.

He loved the 2011 season finale when Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards waged a white-knuckle battle for both the race win and the championship, and France was captivated in March 2013 by the intensity of the closing laps at Fontana.

Feuding drivers Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano wouldn’t give an inch as they raced for the win and ended up wrecking each other, and Kyle Busch squeezed through to steal a victory.

For good measure, Stewart tried to confront Logano on pit road after the race to add another layer of excitement to an already thrilling finish.

Those are the races talked about on Mondays, the ones that garner mainstream media attention. Fans remember Juan Pablo Montoya hitting a jet dryer and triggering a massive fireball during the Daytona 500 far longer than they can recall that Matt Kenseth actually won that 2012 season opener.

That puts NASCAR in a very tough position as series officials spent Monday reviewing video and data from several post-race skirmishes at Charlotte Motor Speedway. NASCAR must decide what, if any, punishments are warranted for a sequence of events that has captivated its fan base.

Brad Keselowski, Hamlin and Kenseth — three championship contenders — were all involved in some sort of fracas after the checkered flag fell Saturday night. Keselowski firmly believed Hamlin and Kenseth both had it coming when he first tried to spin

were, “That was awesome!” If there was any doubt he was referring to the postrace fireworks, he threw his arms up in the air in triumph and yelled, “Kenseth!”

He and rookie Kyle Larson then stood under a television and watched — with great delight — the replays of all the skirmishes. Out in the garage, various industry members crowded around a portable monitor to get their own view.

So what is NASCAR to do? Precedent is to fine everybody involved, just as Marcos Ambrose and Casey Mears were for fighting in the garage earlier this year, or Harvick was fined for a pit-road confrontation in 2011 or Kurt Busch in 2012.

In Busch’s case, he was fined $50,000 for dangerous driving on pit road.

Keselowski could be found guilty of the same crime, and both he and Hamlin could be taken to task for weaving their cars through a dark and crowded garage area after the race. Kenseth could get slapped on the hand for jumping Keselowski between the haulers.

Monetary punishments mean little to drivers at their level, and it won’t hurt their championship chances. As is, Kenseth and Keselowski both need to win Sunday at Talladega to avoid Chase elimination, and that won’t change even if NASCAR docks points for Saturday night. A points penalty would hurt Hamlin, who sits in seventh in the 12-driver field headed into a race in which the bottom four will be dropped from the Chase.

More important, though, is the message NASCAR sends through its actions. Penalties are a deterrent to the drivers to show the emotion that the fans are eating up right now. They can’t act out or settle scores if they’ll be punished every time they do so. But if NASCAR looks the other way, it’s openly embracing behavior that some could argue is too dangerous.

It’s a no-win situation for NASCAR at a time when France is getting exactly what he’s always wanted.

The Southwestern Oregon Community College cross country team had a bunch of personal bests at the Mike Hodges Invitational at Clackamas on Saturday.

Brad Larsen posted a season-best 30 mniutes and 15 seconds to place 28th in the 5-mile men’s race, while Mason Smith was timed in 30:49, Riley Greenfield in 35:14, Marcus Gabaldon in 36:06 and Amani RogersMuller in 38:36.

Alexis Crellin covered the 5,000-meter women’s course in 21:36, finishing 15th. Carleen Fall finished in 22:12, Ramey Gergke in 23:09, Melissa Ortiz in 24:21 and Laticia Hayes in 27:58.

HALL From Page B1 Younker’s best sport was baseball, and he was drafted out of high school, but opted to play for Oregon State instead. He later joined the Boston Red Sox organization before turning his attention to education, ultimately earning master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Oregon and then serving as a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology and becoming president of the Association of Indigenous Anthropologists. This summer, he accepted a position at Oregon as the university’s first formal liaison to Oregon’s federally recognized tribes.

He is the third member of the Coquille Indian Tribe to be inducted into the North Bend High School Hall of Fame, along with his dad and his cousin Brady Scott.

“Dad said, ‘It’s a good thing you were smart, you would have never made it as an athlete,’” Younker said in one of the lighter moments of the ceremony.

inductee, led North Bend to the state basketball title as a senior in 2005, as well as a key member of a girls cross country team that finished second at the state meet.

She said she realized just how much her own teachers impacted her when she was reflecting on her time in North Bend and planning her induction speech.

She thought of Mike Forrester, her basketball coach, and pointed out she now coaches basketball at Homedale High School in Idaho. She thought of Tracy Heley, her North Bend cross country coach, and realized she is now working with the cross country team. The same goes for history and government teachers Steve Greif and Jake Smith — her own subjects as a teacher — and weight training instructor Matt McKenna — she holds a similar role at Homedale.

“It’s just a testament to how much teachers (impact students),” she said, adding that she hopes to have the same kind of influence.

“I really, really try to pass on a lot of the things I learned here to my students,” she said.

Rice Krispies Treats are new for the holiday

BY ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

To be honest, I had no idea about Rice Krispies Treats.

That is, I certainly knew of them, but I’d never made them. And I never knew just how delicious they could be.

The first time I made them, I used the original recipe. It was good, but I felt it needed a little more... something. So I made a batch of my favorite caramel sauce and decided to see what would happen if I dumped some of that in along with the usual butter and marshmallows. It made all the difference.

The treats were great and made me think of fall, of caramel apples and Halloween. And so I decided to take my improved treats even further, adding a caramel bourbon glaze.

Because who says all Halloween treats have to be for the kids? And then I just kept going... Next I added a sprinkle of coarse sea salt to the caramel topping and candy corns. I was in love.

Of course, if you feel the need to share these with the kids, you can always leave out the bourbon, or use bourbon extract instead. And either way, don’t feel you

If you’ve never made risotto before, you’re missing out on a great candidate for a weeknight meal. With no more at hand than the right rice, an onion, some broth and a wedge of Parmesan, you have dinner.

Like omelets or tortillas, risotto is attractive as a weeknight dinner because of its flexibility; you can augment it with anything, your choice of veggies and/or proteins, leftovers definitely included. And, yes, I know that the Italians think of risotto as a first course, like soup or pasta. But in this country there aren’t many working folks preparing multi-course meals during the week.

Let’s start with the basic risotto technique. For a family of four to six, you’ll need 1 about 1 ⁄2 to 2 cups of the correct rice, half a chopped onion, 6 cups of broth, and about a cup of cheese.

There are three proper rice choices — carnaroli, vialone nano and arborio, with arborio being the easiest to find.

All three are much starchier than the long-grain rice we usually cook with, which means they produce a wonderful creamy sauce when cooked properly.

In the standard prep method, you start by sauteeing the onion in a bit of fat

(butter or olive oil or both) until softened. You then add the rice and “toast” it, that is, coat it thoroughly with the fat. Next, the liquid is 1 added — no more than ⁄2 cup at a time — and brought to a simmer. And stirred. And stirred. And stirred... until most of the liquid has been absorbed and you can see the bottom of the pan when you stir.

Then you do it again. And again. Again. The point of this method is to coax as much starch out of the rice as possible. The whole process takes about 20 plus minutes of constant stirring. All that non-stop stirring is what makes some people shy away from making risotto. It’s just too much doggone work.

Happily, if heretically, there’s a less labor-intensive way to get the job done. It’s a method I was taught by Andrew Carmellini, a wonderful New York chef and restaurateur with an Italian background. He adds the broth just twice, half in the beginning and the remaining half after the first batch has been absorbed, which cuts way down on the stirring.

Try it yourself and see if it the resulting risotto isn’t satisfyingly creamy.

After you’ve added the broth, when the grains of rice are just al dente, it’s time to

4 cookbooks I didn’t want to like, but do anyway

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Over the years, I’ve developed a simple system for processing the hundreds of cookbooks that cross my desk every year. It’s the sixpile process.

Pile No. 1 is where the books get stacked as soon as they are delivered. There they await consideration.

Pile No. 2 — by far the largest — is the ain’t-gonna-happen pile. This is where the “5,000 Soup Recipes” and “Glorious Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Sprouted Vegan

Raw Cooking” books (and so many, many less extreme others) land. From there, they are dispatched to a table at my son’s school where anyone can help themselves.

Pile No. 3 is the gonnado-something stack. These are the books that merit attention in some way.

Gabrielle Hamilton’s book inspired by her New York City restaurant, Prune, is a fine example. Ditto for Yotam Ottolenghi’s new ode to vegetables, “Plenty More.”

These books get stories assigned.

Pile No. 4 is a step up from

that. These are the books that are in the running for my end-of-year list of the best cookbooks of the year.

At the moment, there are 17 books in this pile. Once the herd is culled, probably only about 10 or 12 will make the cut. I’d give you some examples, but then I’d have to kill you.

Pile No. 5 is the interesting-but-probably-not-new sworthy-but-I’ll-try-cooking-from-it-anyway stack.

These are books that intrigue me, but unless they blow my mind when I get around to cooking from them probably

won’t amount to much.

Books from this pile sometimes move into Pile No. 3.

Charles Phan’s “The Slanted Door” is a recent example, which made the move in part on the strength of the book’s cocktail recipes.

But today, I want to share the contents of a little known, and frankly kind of embarrassing pile — Pile No. 6: the books I didn’t want to like, but kind of did. These are books that either seemed too silly or too narrow or were created by a source with

Rice Krispies Treats with bourbon caramel glaze.

Contributed photos by Autumn S. Woods

TREATS No trick to these Halloween treats Continued from Page C1 Start by making the caramel sauce. Remove the label from can of sweetened condensed milk, but do not open the can. Place the can in an 8-quart heavy-duty saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches.

Bring to a boil, then reduce 1 heat to simmer for 2 ⁄2 hours.

Check the pan regularly during this process, adding water as needed to maintain the level.

Using tongs and an oven mitt, carefully remove the can from the pan and set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, proceed with the rest of the recipe.

To make the glaze, in a large bowl, combine the but-

ter, vanilla, salt, half-andhalf and bourbon, if using.

Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture is creamy.

Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated.

Once the can of caramel has cooled, carefully open it.

Pour half of it into the butter mixture and beat until well mixed. Set aside.

To make the bars, coat a 13-by-9-inch pan with butter.

In a large, microwave-safe 1 bowl, microwave the ⁄4 cup of butter on high for 30 seconds, or until melted. Add the marshmallows and toss to coat with the butter.

Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. Add the remaining half can of caramel and stir until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated.

Using wet hands, gently press the cereal mixture

Chef’s Table Autumn and I made our first trip to Chef’s Table last Friday and boy are we glad we did.

After all these years we decided it was time. It’s not that I’ve been putting off going to dinner there, it’s just that I work Friday nights putting out the Saturday paper and it can be difficult to notch out a couple hours to have a nice, sit-down dinner.

But the thought of butternut ravioli was too much to pass up. The last time The appetizer was butternut squash ravioli with browned butter and Autumn had that was when fried basil. It was good enough to have made an entire meal of these.

Porta was still in North Bend.

It was another great crowd for the first Chef’s Table of the new school session.

For those of you who are prime rib fans, you might want to get your reservations early for Oct. 31. I get the feeling this will fill up fast.

Chef’s Table is back.

The next Chef’s Table meals will be Oct. 17. Lunch is at noon Friday and is $10, dinner is at 6 p.m. and is $20.

You can call for reservations at 541-888-1540 or request a reservation online at http://occi.net/programs/chefs-table.

I always suggest making your reservation early. These meals sold out regularly last school session.

The menus are: Friday lunch (Oct. 17): Salad of radicchio, frisee and mache, toasted hazelnut vinaigrette with shaved fennel and its crackers; Roast loin of pork, sage country gravy; mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts; butterscotch crème brûlée with ginger snaps.

Picture this: after a long day at the office (or at the kids’ soccer field or wherever) you turn the key to open your front door and you are greeted by the heady aroma of a steamy meaty stew. You have been richly rewarded for spending mere minutes in the morning assembling dinner in your slow cooker.

Fall officially kicks off the season of soups, roasts and stews. And that means it’s time to dig out your slow cooker. My favorite dish is an oldie but goodie — beef stew.

But how to make a batch that satisfies without being too heavy? Enter today’s star ingredient — the chickpea!

This delightful little legume is my secret for adding lots of lean protein and fiber to many dishes. It’s hearty enough to hold its own alongside other proteins (so add it to soups, chilies and sautes). Or toss some chickpeas into salads or stir them into pasta dishes to boost the nutrition. You even can puree them and add a few creamy spoonsful to brownie or muffin batters (not to mention make hummus).

And, did I mention how darned cheap these little guys are?

Chocolate hummus is rich, creamy and chocolatey, and thick enough to spread easily. Think of it as a slightly more textured Nutella, and every bit as sweet and delicious.

Hummus and chocolate together? Deliciously so!

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Admittedly, it sounds like a Halloween trick. Chocolate hummus.

It’s either disgusting or just a cruel joke, right?

Neither, actually. But when I first saw it sold alongside “real” hummus at the grocer, I decided it had to be one of those. There was no way a traditional hummus base — with all sorts of savory things like chickpeas — could possibly play nice with chocolate.

I was pleasantly mistaken.

I bought it only because my son — as most 10-year-old boys are — is smitten with anything chocolate. Frankly, I was just curious what he’d make of it.

Simply put, he loved it. So I tasted it. I loved it, too. Rich, creamy and chocolatey, and thick enough to spread easily.

Think of it as a slightly more textured Nutella, and every bit as sweet and delicious.

But nutritionally, there’s a big difference. While traditional Nutella packs 200 calories per 2-tablespoon serving, the chocolate hummus I’d purchased had just 50 calories. Nutella has 12 grams of fat, while the hummus has just 2 grams. Even the carbs are cut way down — 21 grams for Nutella, 10 grams for the hummus.

I needed to make this. The ingredients on the label were all good (nothing hard to pronounce), but some were a bit esoteric for the home cook. So I made a few tweaks and sub-

stitutions. The result was just as chocolatey and delicious as what I’d purchased. And I was really pleased with the nutrition numbers, too — 75 calories,3 grams of fat and just 11 grams of carbs.

What do you do with it?

Your kids will be happy to eat it by the spoon. You also could spread it on bread with peanut butter or a banana or both. It’s great on graham crackers, and my son loves dunking pretzels and apple wedges in it. Come to think of it, that’s also how he enjoys regular hummus.

with ■ “Cooking Naomi Gochujang” by Imatome-Yun (Countryman Press, 2014) The only thing I hate more than books with 5,000 soup recipes is books dedicated to single ingredients. They just don’t reflect the way people cook. But I let this one slip through because I love gochujang, an ingredient on the cusp of being discovered by the rest of America. And that’s a good thing.

Gochujang is a Korean chili paste that tastes like a blend of savory Japanese miso and spicy Sriracha sauce. In other words, it’s

crazy delicious. And once people learn how to use it, they’ll love it. Part of this book’s redeeming quality is that it doesn’t limit itself to Korean recipes. For example, it uses gochujang on a smoked salmon pizza, in a mayo for asparagus, and on grilled corn on the cob.

■ “Bourbon and Bacon”

by Morgan Murphy (Oxmoor house, 2014) Recall what I said about single-ingredient books?

Two-ingredient books aren’t much better. Unless those two ingredients happen to be bourbon and bacon. They do, after all, make everything

14th annual Oyster Cloyster NEWPORT—Oh shucks, seasons are changing on the Oregon coast. As fall storms begin to roll back into Newport two local nonprofits have devised a way to brighten the impending season. Chefs will shuck and corks will pop on Saturday, Nov.1, when the Oregon Coast Aquarium opens its doors for the 14th annual Oyster Cloyster presented by Chinook Winds Casino Resort and Pacific Seafood.

Oyster Cloyster is an exceptional event where Oregon-based chefs will serve up their own take on the oyster.

Guests will savor delectable

foods from the land and sea, Oregon wines and craft beer from Rogue Ales as they explore the Aquarium’s serene exhibit galleries after-hours.

The event is accepting applications from wineries and chefs that wish to showcase their approach to Northwest cuisine. Visit OysterCloyster.org for information.

Ticket prices include all food. Wine sampling and glasses of wine are available for menu price. Bottles and cases of wine are also sold by the wineries. Tickets and additional event details are available at OysterCloyster.org.

better.

There are no mysteries about this book. The first half is dedicated to a primer on bourbon, followed by numerous recipes, most of them for cocktails, but also some sweet treats. The second half of the book is dedicated to America’s favorite meat, also with numerous recipes. This isn’t a book you’ll cook from every day, but it sure will get you thinking about some lovely pairings.

■ “How to Eataly” by Oscar Farinetti (and a host of big-wig chefs) A cookbook inspired by a

chain of Italian food halls?

Doesn’t exactly scream out to me. But my assumption that it would be either a glorified advertisement for Eataly or an ode to all things Batali (as in Mario) and Bastianich (as in Joe and Lidia) — the guiding forces behind the halls — was wrong. It’s actually a quite nice guide to how to buy and cook Italian food, with a heft of respectable recipes tossed in.

Again, not a book you’ll cook from regularly. But a lovely book for lovers of Italian food to salivate over.

DILBERT

It’s shocking how much dirt vacuums miss Perhaps this has happened to you: You’ve lived with carpeting, and then for one reason or another you live with hardwood or some other type of hard surface flooring that shows up every little bit of dust and dirt.You can’t believe it! You can sweep or vacuum one day and by the next morning, the EVERYDAY dust and CHEAPSKATE dirt have returned.

O f course, we think that some new dirtand dustproducing thing has mysMary teriously descendHunt ed on our living space, but the truth is it’s the same dust and dirt that has always been present, only now we can see it.

I cannot tell you how shocked I was to see what accumulated in such a short time on my wood floors. In my mind I multiplied by 7, 14 and even 21 days. Am I the only one who doesn’t vacuum like every day of her life? Yeah, I admit it.

Imagining what had accumulated in the carpeting almost made me wretch. Seriously.

Another surprise is how much dirt vacuums miss, especially when we use them on carpet. Because we cannot see the dirt,we assume a single pass will do it. The problem is that once dirt goes deep into the carpet (closer to the bottom than it is to the top of the pile), it doesn’t easily come out. It takes agitation and suction to coax it out and suck it up.

Keep it clea n. The best defense is a good offense. That means you need to do all you can to keep the dirt from getting to the carpet in the first place. A shoes-off rule is ideal, but not always practical. Place sturdy doormats at all entrances. Vacuuming carpet frequently is the only way to keep dirt and grit from embedding into the weave of the carpet backing. It is critical to use a vacuum that is lightweight and easy to maneuver.

It should glide effortlessly.

Know your passes. As you plan your vacuuming route, spend the most time on the areas where dirt collects.

Memorize this routine, and count as you work: 12 passes of the vacuum within 4 feet of outside doors; 8 passes in high-traffic areas; 4 passes elsewhere. In the areas where carpet has not been regularly and thoroughly cleaned professionally in the last year, double the passes given above for three months. It will take that kind of effort to get all of the dirt, grit, dust and grime out of the pile and into the vacuum.

Area rugs. Because they are not stable,it is difficult to thoroughly clean area rugs at home.

The best way to deep-clean area rugs is to have them rolled up and taken away to be washed in big tanks created just for this purpose. I have my wool area rugs cleaned this way once a year, and they turn out well. This is an investment I make in these rugs that were manufactured to last a lifetime.

Best vacuum. I’m nearly certain I have owned or used every major brand of vacuum ever produced.Call me a vacuum snob.It’s OK.In fact,I kind of like it. And I would be a worthless columnist if I did not share what I know. The best vacuum on the market is the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional (www.everydaycheapskate.com/sharkpro). It is bagless, easy to empty and lightweight, and it maneuvers like a dream and extracts the most amazingly disgusting stuff out of carpet that you could ever imagine — yes, even sand and pet hair. I love it so much I’ve owned three so far. I keep giving them away.

(Remember when I got my first one?)

You can vacuum with your Dyson or Miele, Electrolux or Hoover. When you’re done, I’ll vacuum the same area with Mr. Sharky Pro. Prepare to be amazed (if not a little embarrassed!) by what Sharky will find that the others left behind.

Here’s the best part: Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional is cheap — way less expensive that its competitors, which for me is a fabulous bonus.While price is not my first consideration in vacuum cleaners, that it comes in cheapest just makes me smile.

Charles Caleb Colton was an eccentric English cleric and author who died in 1832. He said, “Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity than straightforward and simple integrity in another.”

This week, we are trying not to be baffled by trick one. In this deal, the North-South hands, the contract (three no-trump) and the lead (the spade six) are the same as yesterday’s. What should declarer do?

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade (given the lead), three

hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

The ninth winner will come from clubs.

Is there any danger?

Yes, if a defender gets on lead with the club queen, perhaps EastWest will then cash too many spade tricks.

As we saw yesterday, declarer must start by playing dummy’s spade king, the honor from the shorter side first. Yesterday, the king held the trick, but not today — East wins with his ace and returns the spade nine. How should South proceed?

If the spades are 4-4, there is no danger, but if West has five or six spades, the contract is at risk. First, declarer must duck the second trick and take the third with his spade queen.Then the job is to try to keep West off the lead, the defender with the spade winners. This means that the club finesse is a red herring.

South must cash his two top clubs. Here, the queen drops and the contract is home with an overtrick.

But if the club queen does not appear, declarer plays a third round and hopes that East wins the trick.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2014 Your attention to detail and strong work ethic will bring you increased opportunities this year. Taking on more tasks will actually be to your benefit, motivating you to complete projects in a timely manner.Be prepared to move forward professionally and financially.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’ll have problems with loved ones today.

Avoid long, involved discussions or confrontations. Get involved in projects that you can do alone, and the issues that are causing uncertainty will eventually be resolved.

SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — Put your needs first.Your creativity will be stifled if you are constantly on the run, taking care of other people’s responsibilities.Plan a relaxing evening and set your imagination free.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Check out a long-term investment. If you are working hard just to make ends meet, revamp your budget. Talk to a financial adviser to find a way to ease your stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Have a chat with someone causing you concern. If a situation you face is less than satisfactory, bring the issues out in the open. Don’t let resentment or jealousy fester.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — An argument will not turn in your favor.

Once you have aired your opinions,

move on. Rehashing the same issues over and over is not going to lead to a solution.

PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) —You are exceptionally creative. Surround yourself with people who inspire and enlighten you.You will come up with an idea that has the potential to generate some extra cash.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t get lured back into a former relationship. You are likely to end up in the same place that didn’t work for you before. Family members will be touchy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be true to yourself. If you are experiencing tension on the job, you should stay away from office politics and share your issues with friends, not colleagues.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You will find yourself short of funds if you have not budgeted carefully. Don’t get upset if someone in your life isn’t perfect.

Make allowances for the ones you love.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) —You may be feeling uncertain and unsettled.

Keep your mind on your tasks, and avoid emotional confrontations. Opposition is likely if you are too demanding or difficult.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A little self-indulgence should be allowed.

Pamper yourself with a new outfit or a makeover. Do whatever makes you feel good or updates your look and boosts your confidence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may be tempted to help someone, but if you do, you will outspend your budget and fall short when it comes to your needs.
