Pot tax established in North Bend BY KURTIS HAIR The World
NORTH BEND — City councilors may not agree with it, but if recreational marijuana use becomes legal, they will tax it. On Tuesday night, the North Bend City Council unanimously, and reluctantly, approved an ordinance that would put a sales tax on marijuana, medical marijuana and
marijuana-related products, if Oregon voters approve recreational marijuana use Nov. 4. The tax will be a gross receipts tax levied on the sellers’ total taxable revenues for his or her business. There will be a 5 percent tax on medical marijuana and a 10 percent tax on recreational marijuana. Before a decision was made, the ordinance was put up for council
discussion, and some on the council voiced their concerns over the issue of recreational marijuana use. “I personally do not approve of the legalization of marijuana,” said Mayor Rick Wetherell. “But as a good elected citizen, I go with the will of the people.” Wetherell said he wants the city to be prepared to take action if the recreational use is legalized. For Councilor Timm Slater,
establishing a tax would be a good option, though most on the council agree that legalized marijuana would not be good for the state, he said. “My sincere hope would be that the voters of Oregon, like they did two years ago, would say, ‘Yeah... That doesn’t make sense to me,’” Slater said. Before voters weigh in on the issue, many local governments in
Oregon are trying to establish a tax if legalization is approved. City Administrator Terence O’Connor said at the meeting that it is suggested in the ordinance that some of the revenues from the taxes go to the financing of a school resource officer. O’Connor said that due to budget cuts five years ago, the city and the school district had to eliminate that position.

COQUILLE — Coos County commissioners are hesitant to give any one department head a raise, worrying they would have to do so for everyone. The commissioners are debating whether to reclassify the lead human resources position from “officer” to “director.” They tabled the issue last week. Shari Jackson, the current HR officer, makes less than every other comparable Oregon county human resources professional except Yamhill, said county counsel Josh Soper. “I can’t in good conscience give her a raise because ... we would have to do that for all department heads and for other elected officials: treasurer, tax collector, assessor, clerk, surveyor,” said commissioner Bob Main. “It doesn’t seem equitable unless we suddenly came into unbelievable amounts of money, which I don’t foresee in the next year or two.” In a letter to the commissioners, Jackson referenced a recent

stellar performance evaluation as reason for a step increase and to bring her position and salary “more in line with other community HR professionals.” “We’re very fortunate to have Shari here, but I’m very concerned about the impact on other department heads in doing this,” said commissioner John Sweet. “I would like to see more data relating to other similar positions outside of the county.” The commissioners did vote to post a job description for the county information technology director after Sandi Arbuckle was terminated Sept. 19. They still need to hash out the salary. Arbuckle’s position was in a pay range of $41,000 to $52,000, Jackson said. She recommended boosting that to $70,000 to $85,000. “It’s not within our budget, so you’d have to figure out how to pay for it,” Soper said.

Waiting on ‘critical’ DNA test results Accused killer Miguel Iniguez was in court for a status hearing ■
BY TIM NOVOTNY The World
COQUILLE — Appearing in court looking like a completely different person, Miguel Alejandro Iniguez, 29, stood quietly as future court dates were set Tuesday morning in Judge Richard Barron’s courtroom. The man suspected of shooting Luis Mario Castillo Murillo at the North Bend Community Center in July has undergone a physical transformation since his arrest. The goatee is gone, the extensive tattoo covering his scalp is now covered by a thick head of dark hair, and his eyes looked out from behind blackrimmed glasses. Ron Cox, one of his courtappointed defense attorneys, said Iniguez has been a model client. “He’s got a really good attitude — polite, courteous.” The two sides had gathered for a brief status hearing with
Robert Jackson, Grants Pass Deanna Conquest, Salem Deborah Larsen, North Bend Gilbert Campbell, Portland Merwin Owen, Coos Bay Brenda Hedrick, Coos Bay
important dates set by the court. A deadline to reach a negotiated plea agreement was extended until Jan. 5. While trial dates were set aside for April 7-10, and a pretrial omnibus hearing was set for Feb. 2. Both sides say they need the extra negotiating time because some vital evidence is still being processed in labs. Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said they are awaiting DNA results from a variety of sources that were related to the July 13 shooting at the North Bend Community Center. They are also waiting on an official autopsy report, but that could be coming soon. “For whatever reason, the toxicology took some time to get done and I’m understanding that the toxicological tests on the victim have been completed,” Frasier said in his office after the hearing. “The forensic pathologist likes to wait until he has those reports in hand before he finalizes the autopsy report, is understandable. which

Oregon court hears arguments in pension case BY STEVEN DUBOIS The Associated Press
SALEM — Attorneys representing public employees told the Oregon Supreme Court on Tuesday that a contract is a contract, and the justices should reject the Legislature’s attempt to reduce annual cost-of-living increases for retired workers. But lawyers arguing on behalf of state and local governments told the justices during oral arguments there’s no evidence that lawmakers four decades ago intended cost-of-living adjustments for retirees to be a contractual obligation.

DALLAS — A Liberian Ebola patient was left in an open area of a Dallas emergency room for hours, and the nurses treating him worked for days without proper protective gear and faced conchanging protocols, stantly according to a statement released late Tuesday by the largest U.S. nurses’ union. Nurses were forced to use medical tape to secure openings in their flimsy garments, worried that their necks and heads were exposed as they cared for a patient with explosive diarrhea and projectile vomiting, said Deborah Burger of National Nurses United. Burger convened a conference call with reporters to relay what she said were concerns of nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Thomas Eric Duncan — the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. — died last week.

Fire season ends when the fire danger reduces enough that a prudent person’s actions have a low threat of causing a wildfire. It doesn't mean wildfire danger no longer exists, though.

Get a grant for your watershed project The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board is a state agency that provides help to Oregonians taking of local streams, rivers, wetlands and other natural areas. OWEB grants are funded from the Oregon State Lottery, federal dollars and salmon license plate revenue. OWEB offers a variety of grant types and programs. The Small Grant Program in particular is an easy-toengage-in, competitive grant program that awards funds of up to $10,000 for on-the-ground and instream restoration projects. Oregon is currently divided up into 26 Small Grant Team areas. The Coos/Coquille SGT was allocated $100,000 for the 2013-2015 biennium which ends June 30, 2015. Unfortunately, over $70,000 of the $100,000 in allocated funding currently remains unused due to a lack of grant applications. Whatever funds remain unused after the June 2015 deadline will be returned to OWEB. The Coos SWCD would like to issue a call to all agricultural landowners to make use of the small grant funds before May 2015.
Projects must have a direct benefit on improving instream process and function, fish passage, wetland and riparian process and function, road impact reduction, or water quality. Each project must have at least 25 percent in matching funds. Contact the Coos Soil and Water Conservation District office at 541-396-6879 for more information.

Resignation of VA director overdue Roseburg Veterans Affairs Director Carol Bogedain has moved up her retirement date by four months. It was an appropriate move. We’d called for her resignation on Aug. 1 after hearing about poor leadership at the medical center, including mismanagement and possible corruption in attempts to hide patient wait times. We noted that the falsification of appointments likely began before Bogedain arrived in September 2011, but she chose not to discipline or dismiss anyone over the matter when she learned of the practices. It’s unfortunate she wasn’t the strong, successful leader veterans and VA employees needed. Southern Oregon veterans needed an advocate who would push for more services at the VA and come up with innovative ways to attract and retain doctors at the hospital. The leadership at the VA is an issue all Douglas County residents should be concerned about because of its economic significance to our community. The Roseburg VA employs hundreds of people, has a multimillion-dollar payroll and ongoing construction projects. The selection of a new VA director needs a wide variety of input. It cannot be assumed that Bogedain’s departure will solve leadership issues at the hospital. The interim director who arrives Oct. 15, Doug Paxton, affords a great opportunity to give the Roseburg VA a fresh start and ensure those who’ve fought for our country get the health care they deserve.

Congress needs to address funding issues in wildland firefighting When mid-November arrives, the general election will be over and, presumably, so will the 2014 fire season. Maybe then, Congress can finally get around to dealing with the arcane and inadequate system for funding wildland firefighting. Currently, federal firefighting budgets are part of the annual budgets for the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Both of these huge federal agencies take their best shot at an estimated firefighting budget, based on an average from the past 10 years. If a fire season is worse than average then the agencies must transfer money from other parts of their budgets to make up the difference. This can leave other important programs, such as forest health projects, short on money for the remainder of the budget cycle. Two decades ago, the Forest Service spent about 15 percent of its budget on wildland firefighting. Now it can spend as much as half its
budget on firefighting. The problem is that it never knows from year to year how bad the fire season will be, so budget planning is an educated guess, at best. Earlier this year, a reform bill was introduced in Congress that would treat wildfires as natural disasters, akin to hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. That way, funding for firefighting could be appropriated as it is needed — less money in mild years and more money in bad years. Congress walked away from this bill when it adjourned for its summer recess in August. Maybe after the Nov. 4 election, members of Congress will do the right thing and reconsider this bill.

Video cameras for police are a wise law enforcement investment If we were in charge of a law enforcement agency these days, we’d be doing everything we could to wrestle up the necessary money to make sure that each one of our officers was equipped with the latest in crime-fighting equipment: Little cameras that can be worn on
uniforms to record interactions between officers and the public. The cameras aren’t cheap, at about $150 to $180 a pop. But those expenses are considerably cheaper than a lawsuit — and capturing, on video, an interaction between police and members of the public may well help to derail potential legal action down the road. The video cameras may have another benefit as well: Sweet Home Police Chief Jeff Lynn said he believes the videos have reduced the time his officers spend in court. And less time in the courtroom means more time in the community for those officers. The presence of the cameras tends to keep officers on their best behavior: A police department in California found that the number of incidents in which an officer used force dropped by 60 percent after its officers started wearing the cameras. From the police standpoint, there is another reason to wear the cameras as well: In incidents that attract a crowd, there’s a good chance that an onlooker will whip out a smartphone and begin recording. In those cases, the videos are just a click or two away from being posted on the Internet. The wearable cameras help protect the public. For officers, they offer a measure of protection against bogus complaints filed by the public. These cameras seem like a fine investment. Albany Democrat-Herald
Want to buy a farmhouse? Byron plans to sell his cows soon and retire. He has his heart set on selling his farm for twice what it’s worth to some rich city people, who will use it as a weekend house during the summer. Then he’ll spend his golden years making lawn whirligigs in his workshop and drinking coffee down at the diner. His farm won’t be advertised for sale locally. No one around here can afford to pay Byron double what it’s worth, which is what he’s asking. Instead, he has his agent take out ads in the big city newspapers. “Martha Stewart starter kit,” says the ad. “Only three hours from the city, this historic house could be yours. Come smell the roses.” “What’s historic about it?” I asked him. “The plumbing and the wiring,” he said The first city couple to see the place (he was a television producer, she was an conceptual artist) told Byron that they loved the house, that they loved the 400 acres, that they would love to pay him twice what it was worth, but they couldn’t buy it because its feng shui was all wrong. Byron was puzzled. “My fung schwhat is wrong? I been around cows all my life, and if you think you can ‘fung shway’ them better than I can, have at it!” The couJIM ple couldn’t climb back MULLEN into their giant black SUV fast enough. Humorist Byron’s real estate agent tried to explain to Byron that feng shui was the ancient, and now very popular, Chinese theory of a house’s energy. That the angles and doors and windows of his old farmhouse were in all the wrong places to trap all the good energy and keep out the bad. “Your house is not on the dragon’s back like it should be, Byron; it’s sitting right on the dragon’s left nostril.” “I’d like to ask you something, if you know so much about China,” said Byron. “How do you say, ‘what a load of hooey’ in Chinese?” The second couple (he, a musician; him, a plumbing supply salesman) weren’t quite ready for the do-it-yourself rural lifestyle. “Who’s your cleaning person? What lawn care service do you use? We’d like to get a cook who can do vegetarian Thai-Japanese fusion cuisine.No lactose,no gluten.Who do you recommend?” The third couple (she, an architect; he, a psychologist) absolutely loved the place. Well, she did. She told Byron it was absolutely perfect. She said she couldn’t wait to tear the place down and build something nice, something more “site specific.” “I see a giant concrete living area,” she said. “No windows, just a wall of industrial garage doors that will open up the whole space to the elements.” The entire time she spoke, her hands would sweep and turn above her head, a walking exclamation point. Her husband the psychologist wouldn’t get out of the car. Something about snakes. It took a couple of months longer than he thought,but Byron finally did sell his farm for twice what it was worth to a city couple (she, an ER doctor; he, a Ph.D. in botany). They paid him cash for it. She grew up on a farm, and his specialty is native species and habitats. Already, they’re out digging and planting and slowly meeting their neighbors. Byron still comes by — whenever he has a cold, or he’s cut his hand at the workshop or his knee is bothering him. The Doc always listens to his complaints, always looks at his wounds. Byron always asks the same question: “What do you think, Doc?” She always gives him the same answer: “I think you should have someone look at that.” She figures he can afford it.
Letters to the Editor Not so dumb, and voting ‘no’ “Just how stupid do they think the voters are?” asks Ronnie Herne in her recent letter urging support for the Home Rule Charter Amendment.

Gurney deserves county’s vote It is that time again to exercise our right to express our individual choices in this election cycle. I would like to impress on each and every person voting in Coos County of their duty to elect individuals who best represent the broadest, across-the-board interests of the voting public in
Coos County. I served on the Coos County Commission for numerous years and have found the board functions at a high level when the members of the board represent a wide spectrum of working and business interests. The candidate who will elevate this current board to higher achievements is Don Gurney. I had worked with Don in my interim as a commissioner and together, with his drive and determination, increased the budget with monies that were due to Coos County but would not have been received if we had not intervened on the county’s behalf. Don’s knowledge in timber and the forests of Coos County has proven invaluable in the past and is an asset for this current board. I know there are many individuals in the county who do not have a voice on this current board and can and will have if we elect Don Gurney. Don has experience in farming,
ranching, business, blue-collar jobs, budget and banking. Don is a veteran who served his country with honor and distinction, and will be a voice with experience for all the brave men and women who served. Don has hands-on experience in a far-reaching career that will serve him and those he represents. We can and must enable this board to serve the highest level of community interests by electing the candidate who has experience and energy to represent those whose voices have fallen on deaf ears, or lack a true voice in matters that effect each and every one of us. The majority of voters are average, honest, hard-working citizens who can make a difference in their lives as well as their families by voting for someone who has common sense and accountability. We can bring prosperity and a brighter future to this county we all love, if we make a stand now to
effect change and broaden our government representation by electing candidates who will, through their experience and knowledge, govern with distinction. I ask you to please join me in supporting and voting for Don Gurney for Coos County commissioner. Jack Beebe Coos Bay

Life is valuable, even when painful NEWARK, N.J. — The salutatorian of the Bayonne High class of 1917 was cause for celebration this past. “If you can be a saint in Newark, New Jersey ...” my cab driver memorably said as I explained to him the reason for the police, media and crowds. Miriam Teresa Demjanovich was being beatified at a morning Mass, in recognition of her saintly life lived on the streets of the Garden State, only a few decades before Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Chris Christie. During her brief life, Demjanovich cared for her ailing parents, taught school and became a Sister of Charity, having long felt called to religious life. She was only 26 when she died, from complications following the removal of her tonsils. But she had spiritual wisdom far beyond her years. I thought of Miriam Teresa’s short life when I read about Brittany Maynard. If you haven’t
seen her heartbreaking video, she is a 29year-old diagnosed with brain cancer. Her diagnosis is grim, and death is pending. She and her husband KATHRYN have moved to LOPEZ Oregon so that Columnist she can speed the process along and end her life on Nov. 1. That’s her legal right in the Beaver State. But how can that be right? What does it say about a society when assisted suicide becomes legal? What does it say about us that we seem to value choice over life? Back in Newark, just days after the celebration of Demjanovich’s short life, Fr. Benedict Groeschel was being laid to rest back at Newark’s Sacred Heart Cathedral.
In a book about death and the afterlife, Groeschel wrote: “Every thinking person knows that in the midst of terrible tragedy, anyone can be brought to a moment of wishing that life would end. This life on earth can have moments of exquisite beauty, of great satisfaction, but it can also be a ‘valley of tears.’” Maynard faces that valley. We’re becoming a society whose institutions opt to prolong this denial of decrepitude, to cope with it by denying the loving, human aspects of decline and death. We claim it is merciful to cut life short, ignoring the unexpected sources of hope and healing that life’s end can bring. Those who advocate for legal euthanasia and assisted suicide have adopted the word “dignity.” It is a travesty of the word. Ours is a culture that has surrendered the inalienable right to life to circumstantial choice. We should be champions of human
dignity, ensuring that no one is made to feel her life is no longer worth living. “The world tells us that our lives are our own and can be used as we see fit,” Groeschel wrote. But, he argued, our lives are gifts and “one day we will surrender them back to our heavenly Father ... He has made us in His divine image, and He calls us to reflect this image by serving in charity ... as Jesus did.” And there is the hope that even amidst the darkness — families broken and separated and hearts wounded — we can find the hope and joy for which we were made. That’s what Jersey girl Miriam Teresa Demjanovich wrote in “Greater Perfection.” The perfection she sought was not an ideal, but a vulnerability — to love fully and hope for a life beyond this current exile.

State Woman who abuses boyfriend can’t figure out how to stop DEAR ABBY: I think I have an abuse problem. I have been with my boyfriend for a year, and already I feel like he is fed up with me. I don’t want to lose him. When I was younger, my father used to abuse me. It was years ago, but I feel like I might have gotten that trait from him. In addition, I have a tendency to smack my boyfriend on the arm when he’s verbally abusing me. I just want it to stop. I love this DEAR man and I feel terrible after I do it. I keep telling him I’m sorry and that I have the worst tendency to act JEANNE on impulse. PHILLIPS Please tell me how to s t o p because I CANNOT lose him. Any suggestions? — SORRY IN KANSAS CITY, MO. DEAR SORRY: If you want your relationship to improve, you must realize it will take effort not only on your part but also your boyfriend’s. Neither of you handles anger or frustration appropriately. He shouldn’t verbally abuse you if something bothers him. And you need to find other ways than hitting him to make him stop. Couples counseling could help you communicate more effectively with each other. Many licensed mental health professionals offer it. Please don’t wait. DEAR ABBY: Our 5-yearold daughter, “Maya,” was diagnosed with a severe peanut and tree nut allergy before she was 2. My parents have completely overhauled their house and have gone nut-free. My husband’s parents, on the other hand, refuse to cooperate with Maya’s diet restrictions when she visits. I have tried talking to them, which in turn upsets my husband. He keeps making excuses for them, even though he demanded the school become nut-free to accommodate her. We were scheduled to go to their house for an early Thanksgiving when they revealed that the house still wasn’t safe for Maya to come to. My husband’s solution was to go there for the weekend and leave us behind. How can I get my in-laws to understand, and my husband to stand up for his daughter and me? — LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA DEAR LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA: You can’t. Your husband is still under his parents’ thumb. While he may love his parents, his first responsibility is to you and his children. Until he finds his backbone and realizes that, he will remain at his parents’ beck and call. I’m glad you’re looking out for your daughter because her father doesn’t appear to be emotionally equipped to do it. DEAR ABBY: I can no longer go to funeral visitations. I have buried my parents, two sisters, four brothers and nine nieces and nephews. The number of loved ones I have lost, and the visitations and funerals I have had to attend, have been overwhelming. I can’t face it anymore. How do you suggest I avoid them? I am running out of excuses, and I’m tired of being a no-show. — HATES FUNERALS IN ILLINOIS DEAR HATES FUNERALS: People deal with loss in different ways, and you don’t have to apologize for feeling the way you do. Stop making excuses and start telling the truth. When you are notified about a death, offer your condolences, a donation, flowers, and explain that after 17 deaths in your family, you no longer attend funerals because it has become too much for you. That way, no one will think you don’t care or wonder why you didn’t show up. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Senate candidates meet in only debate MEDFORD (AP) — Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley and Republican challenger Monica Wehby stuck to familiar themes as they met in their only debate of the campaign. Meeting Tuesday night at television station KOBI in Medford, Wehby repeatedly criticized Merkley as a “rubber stamp” of the Obama administration. “He is so extreme, he is even too extreme for Oregon,” she said. “We need somebody to represent all of Oregon, not just one segment.” Merkley repeatedly criticized Wehby for getting her economic plan from former presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the Koch brothers, businessmen who have poured millions of dollars into conservative causes, and her health plan from political adviser Karl Rove. “This campaign is really

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., left, meets Republican challenger Monica Wehby on Tuesday, at television station KOBI in Medford, in their only debate of the campaign. The two candidates stuck to famliar themes and Wehby failed to score the kind of breakthrough she needs to overcome Merkley’s front-runner status. between Oregon values on the one hand and Koch brother values on the other hand,” he said. Wehby’s toughest criticisms — that Merkley was not a true champion of the middle class, that he has been a bystander on legislation to increase logging on the so-called O&C lands, and that he has supported the Obama administration nearly all the time — did not appear to gain her the kind of breakthrough she needs to overcome Merkley’s front-
runner status on the eve of mail ballots going out to voters for the Nov. 4 election. Early on Wehby, a pediatric neurosurgeon and political newcomer, had figured strongly in the Republican strategy to win the six seats they need to take over control of the Senate, but a series of missteps has left her struggling. The broadcast did not reach the Portland metropolitan area, but it was live-streamed on the TV station’s website.
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Authorities say both of the pilots who died in midair collision over northern Nevada were from Oregon. The Lyon County sheriff’s office confirmed in a statement Tuesday that 28year-old Tyler Adams of Corvallis died Sunday when the two small planes crashed about 60 miles southeast of Reno. The sheriff said no other new information is available. The planes collided about 8 a.m. Sunday during an informal fly-in at a dry lake bed near Yerington. The other victim, Capt. Thomas R. Weiss of Roseburg, was a longtime Oregon firefighter and paramedic who often flew spotter planes over forest fires in his spare time. The chief of his fire district in rural southwest Oregon identified him on Monday. Chief Greg Marlar said Weiss was a professional who gave 110 percent to his profession and community.

Bearded dragon rescue lady may be evicted SALEM (AP) — A Salem woman made the news in August when she breathed life back into a bearded dragon after she found the pet floating in its small pool. Her reptile rescue operation came to the attention of her landlord at the Sunset Village Mobile Park. Now, 62-year-old Sherrie Baldwin has been told to get rid of all 24 of her bearded dragons or face eviction. The Statesman Journal reports she was given notice this week that she has until Oct. 25 to move out all pets except one dog originally listed on the rental agreement for her space. Baldwin is distraught. She says she can’t possibly find homes for 24 bearded dragons in such a short time.

Readers report Nok-Out to the rescue Faithful readers know I’m crazy for the product NokOut. I travel with it and live it with. Actually, I wouldn’t want to EVERYDAY l i v e CHEAPSKATE w i t h o u t it. NokOut is both an o d o r eliminator and germic i d e (bacteriMary al and viral). Hunt The best thing: No fumes, no perfume — absolutely not toxic. It looks like water, safe for pets, home and even the kitchen. Nok-Out is not a room freshener that tries to cover up odors. It truly knocks them out. As I would expect from something I use and suggest that you need to consider too, I get lots of feedback from readers and a question now and then. “I’m traveling soon, so I eagerly followed your advice by ordering Nok-Out to take along. But I’m puzzled because the product makes none of the claims you mention. In fact, there is no indication it has any disinfectant properties, only instructs for use as a deodorizer. So what’s the deal with NokOut?” — Ruth Response: That’s confusing, I know. Nok-Out is sold under two labels: Deodorizer and hospital disinfectant. The active ingredient in each is the same, at the same strength and concentration and serves both purposes. The product you purchased (as well as all of Nok-Out products) contains the same germ-killing ingredient as the hospital disinfectant. It is also the world’s best deodorizer (I’m serious; it will eliminate any offensive odor) and at the same time kill all manner of germs on contact. You’re good to go, and I hope you have a wonderful trip. “I use Nok-Out for everything that I need to be cleaned or refreshed. The diaper pail is a perfect example of disinfecting and cleaning. It also takes care of mishaps on the carpet, musty clothes in the laundry basket and closets. It is the greatest!” — Holly “I have found another use for Nok-Out. My frontloading washer smelled moldy, and so did my clothes! I read the article on NokOut.com about cleaning it with Nok-Out and followed the directions exactly. It only took one application, and I learned why this funky smell is there. Now, I give the rubber gasket a spray of Nok-Out on a regular basis to keep mold from re-forming. My clothes smell good, and I believe we are safer for not having mildew spores hiding in our towels and clothing. Thank You, NokOut. I just love it.” — Diane “My Lab swims in the pool several times a day. Unfortunately, it leaves him smelling like a moldy sock. Nok-Out really does eliminate the odor. And It does wonders with my son’s hockey gear. We LOVE our Nok-Out.” — Michelle “I am sensitive to smells. It makes me sick to be around strong fragrances. I have used Nok-Out on dog urine odors in the hallway of my house and found it to be exactly what I needed. The urine odor is gone, and my nose was happy too. I am really happy to know there is a product that works so well, and that also lets me stay healthy. Thank you so much.” — Brenda Hi nt : Use coupon code DPL for 10 percent off all non-bundled items.

NEWS D I G E S T Shiite militias killing Sunnis with ‘impunity’ BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s Shiite militias have abducted and killed scores of Sunni civilians with the tacit support of the government in retaliation for Islamic State group attacks, Amnesty International said Tuesday, as a suicide car bombing claimed by the Sunni extremists killed 23 people, including a Shiite lawmaker. The Shiite militiamen number in the tens of thousands and wear military uniforms but operate outside any legal framework and without any official oversight, the London-based watchdog said, adding that they are not prosecuted for the crimes. The accusations were based on interviews with relatives of victims and survivors who claimed that members of four prominent Iraqi Shiite militias — Asaib Ahl al-Haq, the Badr Brigades, the Mahdi Army, and Ketaeb Hizbollah — were behind many abductions and killings of Sunnis in the country, the rights group said in a 28-page report, entitled “Absolute Impunity: Militia Rule in Iraq.”
Police: Megabus crashes, 18 injured INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A double-decker passenger bus flipped onto its side on a highway in suburban Indianapolis on Tuesday after striking a crashed car, leaving 18 people with mostly minor injuries, police said. The bus, operated by Megabus, was traveling from Atlanta to Chicago, said Sean Hughes, spokesman for the line’s parent company, Coach USA North America. It was carrying 50 to 60 people when it crashed about 4:30 a.m. on Interstate 65 in Greenwood after coming upon a car that had crashed about 10 minutes earlier, state police Sgt. Shawn O’Keefe said.
2nd spacewalk in 2 weeks at space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronauts are spacewalking at the International Space Station for the second week in a row. On Wednesday, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Butch Wilmore ventured out to replace a failed electrical device. The repair should restore full power capability to the 260-mile-high outpost. The voltage regulator shorted out in May but could not be replaced until now because of a yearlong hiatus in nonemergency spacewalks by NASA. The stoppage was caused by spacesuit problems, most notably a flooded helmet that nearly cost an astronaut’s life in 2013.
Bomber kills 5 anti-Taliban elders ISLAMABAD (AP) — A suicide bomber targeted a meeting of anti-Taliban elders Wednesday in a tribal region bordering Afghanistan, killing five people and wounding 10, security officials said. The attacker, who was wearing an explosive vest, blew himself up as the elders met in the Tirah Valley in the Khyber tribal region, two officials said. They said the dead and wounded were transported to a government hospital.
Justices stop parts of Texas abortion law WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked key parts of a 2013 law in Texas that had closed all but eight facilities providing abortions in America’s second mostpopulous state. In an unsigned order, the justices sided with abortion rights advocates and health care providers in suspending an Oct. 2 ruling by a panel of the New Orleans-based U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that Texas could immediately apply a rule making abortion clinics statewide spend millions of dollars on hospital-level upgrades. The court also put on hold a provision of the law only as it applies to clinics in McAllen and El Paso that requires doctors at the facilities to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The admitting privileges rule remains in effect elsewhere in Texas.
Nation and World Wounded AP reporter vows to return to Afghanistan NEW YORK (AP) — Over and over, Kathy Gannon has relived the decisions that led to the death of her close friend Anja Niedringhaus and her own severe injuries, as they went about their jobs chronicling the story of Afghanistan. Gannon, a veteran Associated Press correspondent, and Niedringhaus, an award-winning AP photographer, had worked together on countless stories and negotiated many dangers for five years. But they were always “very smart with how we went about doing the stories, because we wanted to keep doing the stories,” Gannon recalled. Then, on April 4, they were sprayed with gunfire by an Afghan police commander as they prepared to cover the presidential election the next day. Were she to go back in time, would she do anything differently? The answer, firmly, is “No.” “We weren’t careless or cavalier about the security arrangements ...,” Gannon said at AP headquarters in New York last week, in her first interview since the attack.“We really made sure that we had a safe place to stay,we knew who we were traveling with, we knew the area in which we were going. Honestly, I’ve thought it through so many times — I know neither Anja or I would have done anything differently.” The stakes in the election

Yet there were reassurances. “At one point the doctor said to me, ‘Your life is as important to me as it is to you. We really are working trying to save it.”’ In the operating room, she was sedated.

Koreas’ military talks end without agreement
Turkish strikes on Kurds complicate fight WASHINGTON (AP) — In a fresh test for U.S. coalitionbuilding efforts, Turkey is launching airstrikes against Kurdish rebels inside its borders this week despite pleas from the Obama administration to instead focus on an international campaign to destroy Islamic State militants wreaking havoc in the region. Media reports about the Turkish strikes surfaced Tuesday as President Barack Obama and military chiefs from more than 20 nations gathered in Washington in a show of unity against the Islamic State group. “This is an operation that involves the world against ISIL,” Obama declared, referring to the militant group by one of its many names. The Turkish airstrikes Monday and occurred marked the country’s first major strikes against Kurdish rebels on its own soil since peace talks began two years ago. The strikes came amid
anger among the Kurds in Turkey, who accuse the government there of standing by while Syrian Kurds are being killed by Islamic State militants in the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani. The Islamic State militants also have targeted Kurds in Iraq, who have to some extent been able to hold off their advances. The U.S. has been pressing Turkey — a NATO ally — to take a more active role in the campaign to destroy the Islamic State group, but the Turks have said they won’t join the fight unless the U.S.led coalition also targets Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government. The Obama administration sees those as separate fights and has no appetite to go to war against Assad. Officials from Ankara participated in Tuesday’s meeting at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. A U.S. military official familiar with the

One of the strikes targeted the Tel Shair hill that overlooks parts of the city, according to Idriss Nassan, deputy head of Kobani’s foreign relations committee. Nassan said Kurdish fighters later captured the hill and brought down the black flag of the Islamic State group.

A front-page editorial Wednesday in the People’s Daily, the ruling Communist Party’s mouthpiece, condemned the protests and said “they are doomed to fail.” “Facts and history tell us that radical and illegal acts that got their way only result in more severe illegal activities, exacerbating disorder and turmoil,” the commentary said. “Stability is bliss, and turmoil brings havoc.”
Prosecutors say dead babies were found clothed UXBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — They were hidden away in closets just a few feet from where their siblings slept: the skeletal remains of three infants found in a squalid, vermin-infested house. On Tuesday, a judge ordered a Massachusetts woman held on $1 million cash bail after prosecutors said at least two of the babies may have been alive for “some period of time” before they were discovered. Prosecutors had asked for $5 million bail and said Erika
Murray could face more serious charges in a case that has repulsed residents of the small town of Blackstone. Murray, 31, a resident of the town, had been held without bail since her arraignment last month on charges of fetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a child. The state Department of and Families Children removed four children ranging in age from 5 months to 13 years from Murray’s home
in August after her 10-yearold son asked a neighbor for help in quieting a crying baby. The neighbor found the youngest child — the 5month-old girl — and a 3-year-old girl both covered in their own feces, in separate bedrooms. Friends and neighbors have said Murray appeared to hide the existence of the two youngest children. A prosecutor said in court Tuesday that the two children had never been outside. After interviewing the 10-
year-old and 13-year-old, police got a search warrant and went back to the house, where they found the skeletal remains of one baby with a full head of hair in a backpack in the closet of an upstairs bedroom. After discovering those remains, police obtained another search warrant. During the second search, they found the remains of two other babies in another bedroom, also inside a closet. The two oldest children slept in the bedrooms.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The first military talks between North and South Korea in more than three years ended with no agreement Wednesday, with the rivals failing to narrow their differences on how to ease animosity following two shooting incidents last week, South Korean officials said. The two countries traded gunfire Friday after South Korean activists floated balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets across the border. Earlier last week, their navies exchanged warning shots along the nations’ disputed sea boundary. There were no reports of casualties from either incident, but they served as a reminder of how tensions are running high on the divided Korean Peninsula. On Wednesday, following a proposal by the North, military generals from the two Koreas met at a border village in the countries’ first military talks since February 2011, according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry. During the closed-door meeting, North Korea repeated its demands that South Korea ban activists from dropping leaflets and media outlets from publishing articles critical of the North, ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said at a televised news conference. South Korean delegates responded that they cannot do so because South Korea is a liberal democracy, he said. The sides were also at odds over the sea boundary, drawn unilaterally by the American-led U.N. command at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War without the North’s consent, Kim said. There have been several bloody inter-Korean naval skirmishes along the boundary in recent years. “The atmosphere of today’s talks was very serious because South and North Korea both have wills to improve ties ... but they couldn’t narrow their differences,” Kim said. The two sides didn’t set a date for a next meeting, he added. After Friday’s gunfire exchange, South Korea said it would sternly deal with any further provocations by North Korea, but stressed that the door for dialogue remained open. North Korea urged South Korea to stop hostile acts such as dropping leaflets if it wants improved ties.

INIGUEZ Was arrested outside Walmart Continued from Page A1 Hopefully, by the end of the week, I’ll have that. The DNA testing is still pending at this point.” Castillo Murillo was shot and killed around 1 a.m. after a dispute in the community center’s back parking lot. A quinceañera — a coming-ofage celebration for 15-year-old Latina girls — was being held in the building at the time. Frasier said the defendant had recently moved to the area to get a clean start after a relationship with a significant other in California went sour. “He did have a job. He was working out at one of the fish places out in Charleston,” he added. “I think he was (at the party) because he was a friend of a friend of a friend who got invited, technically. Those parties are big deals, I mean there were over 100 people there.”
EBOLA Continued from Page A1 Duncan died Oct.8,and the hospital said Sunday that one of his nurses had tested positive for Ebola. She is hospitalized and was listed Tuesday in good condition. On Wednesday, Texas health officials announced that a preliminary test indicated a second, unidentified health care worker at the hospital had been infected with the disease. RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of Nurses United, said the statement came from “several” and “a few” nurses, but she refused repeated inquiries to state how many. Among the nurses’ allegations was that the Ebola patient’s lab samples were allowed to travel through the hospital’s pneumatic tubes, opening the possibility of contaminating the specimen delivery system. Watson, a Wendell Presbyterian spokesman, did not respond to specific claims by the nurses but said the hospital has not received similar complaints.

D.A.’s office changes its lineup A new prosecuting attorney has joined the ranks at the Coos County District Attorney’s office, signaling a change in lineup and office philosophy. Almost exactly one year after Mark Monson took over as Chief Deputy District Attorney, he has departed. District Attorney Paul Frasier did not go into detail, other than to say that Monson left the office at the end of July. Brian Rodighiero is the newest attorney to join the office, but Frasier said they are going forward without a Chief Deputy DA for the time being. Part of the reason is, he said, that it just makes financial sense for a county that is still dealing with budgetary concerns. While his office has seen some attorneys come and go over the years, there are those who are starting to add up a local track record. Frasier noted, specifically, that Ryan Hughes, here five years, and Stephen Pettey, four years, have been there to lean on when things get busy. “We have experienced people who are doing a really good job,” Frasier said.
According to court documents, one of the witnesses contacted by police at the scene was a man Iniguez had been staying with. The man told police that Iniguez, who had also been at the party, was now missing. Frasier said that, as they sought him, a Walmart employee contacted an officer to report a tattooed man in blood-spattered clothes had come in and bought a new wardrobe. The man then reportedly changed into the clothes while in a store bathroom. Iniguez was later arrested
outside the store. In addition to murder, Iniguez is charged with firstdegree theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Cox said a lot of his case is going to depend on the results of those pending tests. “The autopsy report and DNA results will be critical in this case,” he said, adding that plea negotiations are still on the table. “We’re leaving that option open, sure.”
“Patient and employee safety is our greatest priority and we take compliance very seriously,” he said in a statement. “We have numerous measures in place to provide a safe working environment, including mandatory annual training and a 24/7 hotline and other mechanisms that allow for anonymous reporting.” He said the hospital would “review and respond to any concerns raised by our nurses and all employees.” The nurses alleged that: ■ Duncan was kept in a non-isolated area of the emergency department for several hours, potentially exposing up to seven other patients to Ebola; ■ Patients who may have been exposed to Duncan were kept in isolation only for a day before being moved to areas where there were other patients; ■ Nurses treating Duncan were also caring for other patients in the hospital; ■ Preparation for Ebola at the hospital amounted to little more than an optional seminar for staff; ■ In the face of constantly shifting guidelines, nurses
were allowed to follow whichever ones they chose. “There was no advance preparedness on what to do with the patient, there was no protocol, there was no system,” Burger said. Even today, Burger said, some hospital staff at the Dallas hospital do not have proper equipment to handle the outbreak. “Hospital managers have assured nurses that proper equipment has been ordered but it has not arrived yet,” she said. The nurses’ statement said they had to “interact with Mr. Duncan with whatever proequipment was tective available,” even as he produced “a lot of contagious fluids.” Duncan’s medical records, which his family shared with The Associated Press, underscore some of those concerns. Almost 12 hours after he arrived in the emergency room by ambulance, his hospital chart says Duncan “continues to have explosive diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and projectile vomiting.” He was feverish and in pain.

Greg Hartman, lead attorney for the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) coalition, sits in Oregon Supreme Court in Salem on Tuesday. The court is hearing oral arguments on a lawsuit challenging legislative changes to the state pension system.
PERS Continued from Page A1 described the cost-of-living adjustment as a gift or add-on for workers who were already retired in 1971. Because they were already retired, they could not have accepted contract terms, he said. State and local governments sought the pension cuts last year to avoid steep increases in their contributions to the Public Employees Retirement System. The action reduced employer contributions to the pension by roughly $800 million during the current two-year budget cycle. It’s unknown when the court will rule, but a decision is expected in time for the 2015 Legislature to deal with any fallout. If the court upholds the changes, retired workers will see their pensions grow at a slower pace. Since the early 1970s, retirees have received an annual cost-of-living

increase of 2 percent. Gov. John Kitzhaber and the Legislature reduced the annual adjustment (widely known as a COLA) to 1.25 percent on benefit amounts up to $60,000 and 0.15 percent on benefits exceeding $60,000. The court rejected a 2003 attempt to suspend the costof-living adjustment for certain retirees, ruling in what’s known as the Strunk case that annual benefit increases are part of the contract. Greg Hartman, an attorney for the public employees, said what governments are seeking this time around amounts to a “full-scale assault” on Strunk and other prior rulings. It is one thing, he said, to make changes to a pension system for workers who have yet to start their careers. It’s another to alter the terms of a deal for workers who agreed to provide service under certain expectations. “If your promise is ‘we’ll get back to you on what that
promise is,’ that’s not much of a contract,” Hartman said. A few justices pressed government attorneys on the fairness issue. Justice Virginia Linder questioned why the 1971 Legislature was concerned about the future fiscal impact of the COLA if it was not intended to be a longterm contractual obligation. Bill Gary, another attorrepresenting ney governments, countered that actuaries at the time could not determine the cost. He noted the 1971 Legislature started the COLA at 1.5 percent, and bumped it up to 2 percent in 1973, a period of rising inflation. Gary told the justices that a decision in favor of the government could be compatible with the Strunk ruling. Even if the COLA statute is part of the contract, he said, the percentage amount was never guaranteed. “The specific formula for calculating the COLA is not part of the contract,” he said.
Goat droppings blamed for E. coli death PORTLAND — The parents of a Lincoln County girl who died last month of E. coli bacteria say public health officials suspect the 4-year-old was infected by droppings from the family’s goat. But Rachel Profitt told The Oregonian lab tests have not been conclusive and the investigation continues into the death of her daughter Serena. Profitt says Lincoln County health

Lancers honor Wigle Before Kent Wigle led Marshfield’s football team to one of the dominant programs in Oregon, the legendary coach had similar success at South Umpqua. The two sides of Wigle’s coaching career come together Friday night in what South Umpqua has dubbed the Wigle Bowl. The Pirates visit the Lancers for the first time since Marshfield dropped down to Class 4A and South Umpqua is using the occasion to name its football stadium after Wigle. The coaching legend, who has never been one to toot his own horn, said this week that he is honored by the recognition, and that he wants to share it. “I think it’s a great honor,” Wigle said. “It’s an honor for all the people you worked with. Yeah, my name goes on the stadium, but SPORTS it’s all about the coaches and student athletes you worked with. “That’s why I got in the business in the first place. It’s all about the relationships.” Wigle will be JOHN durGUNTHER recognized ing halftime of Friday’s game. He plans to thank a lot of the people who were part of his journey as a coach at both schools. “Maybe I will ask any athletes who played with me — either at Marshfield or South Umpqua — to stand up and be recognized,” he said. “And maybe the coaches, too.” That could be a lot of people. Wigle hasn’t done a close study of the South Umpqua roster, but just from reading reports in the newspapers knows that he coached the dads of at least six or seven of the current Lancers, including quarterback Erik Johnson and running back Shawn Rigsby. At Marshfield, Wigle coached several members of the current coaching staff. Wigle grew up not far from Myrtle Creek in Riddle. He coached at South Umpqua for 17 years before coming to the South Coast. He led the Lancers to four state championship games, including one win, one loss and two ties, before the Oregon School Activities Association adopted its overtime policy. Ironically, both ties came against South Coast teams — Gold Beach in 1976 and Siuslaw (quarterbacked by current Vikings coach Tim Dodson) in 1981. South Umpqua beat Tillamook for the 1977 state title. The loss came to Vale in 1975. Wigle’s record at South Umpqua was 134-39-2. He followed that by coaching Marshfield for 21 years, a stretch when the Pirates were 173-60 and won the 1992 state title (the Pirates also were runners-up in 1994). Between the two schools, Wigle went 307-99-2 overall and 38-23-2 in the playoffs. He retired as the second winningest coach in Oregon history. He was named the national coach of the year in 2005. Wigle won’t be the first South Umpqua coaching legend to be honored at the football facility. The field already is named for Frosty Loghry, a legendary coach of football, basketball and baseball at Myrtle Creek High School. When the Myrtle Creek and Canyonville school districts merged in 1964, Loghry became the first athletic director at South Umpqua High School. When he first started at South Umpqua, Wigle coached baseball with Loghry, who died in 2012 at age 94. Wigle said he is excited that the sign recognizing Kent Wigle Stadium will be on the roof of the stadium, against the film booth. He built the booth with fellow coach Jim O’Connor — Wigle said O’Connor was the technical expert on the project while he “did the grunt work.” Appropriately, Friday’s game matches two teams that are having the type of seasons he used to enjoy. Marshfield is 3-0 in the Far West League, tied with North Bend for first place. South Umpqua is 2-1 after losing to the Bulldogs last week. Both teams will end the year in the postseason. It would be fitting if the Wigle Bowl is great, just like the man being honored at halftime.

Marshfield wins again BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World
done. The wild-card Royals have won 10 straight postseason games, including all seven this year, in their first playoff appearance in 29 years. The only thing that’s slowed Kansas City so far was a rainout Monday. “We’ve got a snowball effect going right now,” Butler said. “The confidence couldn’t be any higher. That’s when you come to the park each day, focus on the next pitch, focus on your job and just not be the guy to end the streak.” Fresh off a combined three-hitter, Kansas City will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying to advance to its first World Series since 1985. Miguel Gonzalez will go to the mound for the Orioles. “It’s hard to take advantage of mistakes when they’re not making any,” Orioles first baseman Steve Pearce said. “This is tough, man. We’ve got one loss left. We’ve got to find a way to start pulling this out. We got to find somebody to get it done.”
COOS BAY — Twenty-one and zero. That’s buzzsaw Marshfield’s record in Far West League sets so far this year after the Pirates volleyball team chopped down another conference foe Tuesday,sweeping South Umpqua 25-8,25-16,25-17. Marshfield is now 7-0 in Far West League play and 15-2 overall, winning 44 of 48 sets overall this year. The No . 5 ranked Pirates haven’t lost a match since Sept. 27 against Creswell at the Santiam Christian tournament and have yet to lose at Pirate Palace in 2014. “That’s awesome knowing we haven’t lost a set,” Marshfield’s Inside Hailee Woolsey said, adding that Soccer the Pirates usually put point goals Page B2 for individual sets before games, Volleyball not just going for the sweep. “We Page B4 came out really strong and one of our goals was to have a lot of fun and we had a lot of fun that first set.” The Pirates blew through the opening set, winning 25 of the final 31 points after going down 0-2. The Lancers weren’t able to put enough oomph on their returns, allowing for Pirate front-line hitters Abby Clough and Woolsey to feast on open hardwood, spiking and dropping in shots with precision. Carli Clarkson took over the serve with the score at 16-8 and scored nine straight points to close out the set. The second set was more of the same. Marshfield hopped up to an 8-0 lead, as Clarkson extended her consecutive point streak to 17 bridging the two sets, to seemingly bury the Lancers before they got on the board. “We have excitement, we’re loud, we’re positive, we’re encouraging everyone, and that makes us play as a team to the best of our ability and that keeps our streaks alive,” Clarkson said. “When we lose one of those components, we start to fall apart a little. Then we lose the streak. But then we come back and get on a great streak again and end the game strong.” Just like Clarkson intimated, South Umpqua battled back in the second set to cut the lead to 1613, forcing Marshfield’s head coach Tammie Montiel to take a time out.

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas makes a catch on a foul ball hit by Baltimore’s Adam Jones during the sixth inning Tuesday.
Royals continue magical run KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mike Moustakas had his eye on the ball from the moment it left Adam Jones’s bat, tracking it against the bright lights of Kauffman Stadium. When it settled into his glove and he tumbled into a dugout suite, a dozen fans were waiting to pick him right back up. Just like Moustakas has picked up his team during its perfect postseason. The third baseman with the four playoff homers dazzled with his glove Tuesday night. And when Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, the long-downtrodden Kansas City Royals were on their way to a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles and a commanding 3-0 lead in their AL Championship Series. “It really did fire up the whole stadium,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said of his teammate’s circus catch. “Hats off to the fans in the dugout suite, pick him up and put him back on the field. That was great. Moose finding ways to get it done.” The entire team has found ways to get it

Dodgers make major changes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Fresh off another early playoff exit, the Los Angeles Dodgers overhauled their front office. They hired Andrew Friedman for the new position of president of baseball operations, while current general manger Ned Colletti will stay on in a new role as a senior adviser to team president and CEO Stan Kasten. Friedman comes from the Tampa Bay Rays, where he was executive vice president of baseball operations for nine years after being hired at age 28. Kasten called Friedman “one of the youngest and brightest minds in the game today.” Friedman guided the Rays to four postseason appearances, including division titles in 2008 and 2010, while overseeing one of the major leagues’ lowest payrolls. He had been working without a contract.

San Francisco’s Gregor Blanco is safe at first as St. Louis second baseman Kolten Wong fails to catch the throw during the 10th inning Tuesday. The Giants scored the winning run on the error.
Giants earn another wild victory SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bruce Bochy sat back in his chair, took a deep breath and pondered another wacky October win for his San Francisco Giants. The wild-card Giants finally got a bunt down, and then the baserunning became a breeze. Because come postseason, this bunch sure finds a way. Pretty? Hardly. And they don’t care about style points. An errant throw by reliever Randy Choate on Gregor Blanco’s bunt allowed Brandon Crawford to score the winning run in the 10th inning, lifting the Giants over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Championship Series. “Is this a rule we can’t hit a home run?” Bochy joked of his club’s nonconventional ways to win. “We can score runs without hits, we’ve proven that,” third base coach Tim Flannery said, hours after singing the national anthem with the Grateful Dead. “I call us the nitty-gritty dirtbags.” Crawford drew an eight-pitch walk
ALCS From Page B1 The Orioles are the 34th team to trail 3-0 in a best-ofseven major league postseason series — the only team to come back and win was the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees, STATS said. “It’s been done before, so that gives you a chance,” Jones said. “We’ve won four games before. Obviously, not in this situation. But we’ve won four games, four games, four games. So start tomorrow, start in the first inning and get some runs on the board.” The Royals’ Jeremy Guthrie and Orioles’ Wei-Yin

After failing on two sacrifice attempts, Juan Perez singled to bring up Blanco. Blanco fouled off a bunt try, too, but then pushed one to the left side of the mound and the left-handed Choate’s sidearmed throw sailed past lunging second baseman Kolten Wong, who was covering first. “We had trouble getting the bunt down,” Crawford said. “So I was happy he got it down. He put it in a great spot and made those guys make a play, and fortunately (we) saw the throw go wide.” Choate blamed himself. He has done pitcher fielding practice for decades. “That’s the stuff you dream about when you’re a kid, besides hitting the homer,” Choate said. “Being out on the mound in a game like that with a crowd like that on the road, those are the kinds of challenges I look forward to. I love being out there for that. That’s just what makes that all the more disap-
Chen hooked up in a tense pitching duel for five innings Tuesday night, and the game was still 1-all when Chen gave up a leadoff single to Nori Aoki in the sixth. Eric Hosmer followed with a oneout single to put runners on the corners, and Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought in hard-throwing reliever Kevin Gausman. Butler greeted him with a fly ball to left field for the tiebreaking run — just the latest example of Kansas City doing all the little things right.

Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, unbeaten in five career postseason starts, tries to pitch San Francisco to a 3-1 lead when he takes the ball Wednesday night in Game 4 against St. Louis and Shelby Miller. “We want to try and win them all here, and finish this thing up,” Vogelsong said. A wild pitch, a wide throw and an 18inning marathon. That’s how these playoff-tested Giants have done it so far. “Everybody’s saying: ‘How are the Giants doing it? How are the Giants winning games?”’ Blanco said. “We just really believe in each other.” This San Francisco walkoff win came 12 years to the day after Kenny Lofton’s single in the ninth inning ended the 2002 NLCS against the Cardinals and sent the Giants to the World Series.
Wade Davis nailed down the next two innings. Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the series, setting off a wild celebration in the stands. In all, Kansas City pitchers retired the final 16 batters. It was the 13th game to be decided by one run this postseason, matching the record set in 2011 and tied last year. Six games have gone to extra innings, including the Giants’ 5-4, 10-inning victory over the Cardinals hours earlier in the NLCS. “I wish I didn’t have so much stake in it,” Showalter said dryly. “I’d probably enjoy watching both teams play more than I do.”
Rays move quickly to replace Friedman

Keaten Baker, Jackson Daily, Kyle Zomershoe, Drae Starks and Jarrod Bohannon scored the other goals for North Bend, which improved to a perfect 8-0-0
Soccer Recap
PIRATES From Page B1 After the short break, Clough finessed a tip-kill to neutralize the Lancers attack and the Pirates cruised from there to a 25-16 set win. To close out the match, Marshfield had to overcome it’s biggest hole of the night, a 6-2 deficit to start the third set. “We always have those third-game struggles; we get a little tired,” Clarkson said. “Then it clicks in our minds that we have to finish strong.” Marshfield got on another run like they did in the first
in league play. Brookings-Harbor 3, Marshfield 1: Jay Sharp scored all three goals for the Bruins, who wrapped up at least second place in the league standings with their victory. Anderson Meneses scored Marshfield’s goal in the second half, assisted by Sergio Osorio, to briefly cut Brookings-Harbor’s lead to 2-1 before Sharp’s third goal. The Pirates still can lock up a spot in the Class 4A play-in round with a win at Coquille on Thursday or any result other than a win for fourth-place Douglas, which shut out South Umpqua 1-0 on Tuesday.
set, this time scoring 13 of the next 14 points to go up 15-7 and never looked back, cruising to the 25-17 set win and the Pirates fifth consecutive sweep overall. “It’s not really a focus,” Montiel said of the sweep streak. “Obviously we’re gong for the league victory. If we take three games, that’s great. If it takes us five games, that’s OK too.” Marshfield was led by Woolsey with a team-high 15 kills and two aces. Behind her were Clough and McKenzie Allison with seven kills apiece. Shaylynn Jensen led the Pirates with 22 assists while Paige Tavernier notched 12 dishes on top of three digs.
GIRLS North Bend 13, Coquille 0: Damie Zomerschoe had four goals as she continues her comeback from a knee injury. Emma Powley had a pair of goals and two assists and Gabby Hobson and McKenzie Edwards had two goals each for the Bulldogs. Bri Cole, Jordyn Wicks and Samantha Lucero had the other scores as North Bend remained tied with Brookings-Harbor for first place in the league standings. The Bulldogs and Bruins both are 7-0-1 with two matches to go. North Bend visits South Umpqua and BrookingsHarbor hosts Douglas on
Clarkson tied team-highs with two blocks and six digs (with Clough and Gabby Bryant respectively) on top of a flawless, 100 percent serving percentage (and two aces). Marshfield has yet to win a game it has dropped a set in. As good as sweeping teams can be, Montiel knows that having some kind of late-match experience will help in the postseason. “It’s kind of a doubleedged sword,” Montiel said. “(Sweeps are) nice, but sometimes it’s good to get in a four or five set game and get some extra conditioning so later on down the road, if we have a long game, we’re in shape and
know how to react to that.” Next for Marshfield is the Civil War at Pirate Palace on Thursday. The Pirates swept North Bend on the road earlier this year and the Bulldogs are currently fourth in the Far West with a 3-4 record, but are coming off a sweep against Brookings-Harbor on Tuesday. Marshfield can clinch a share of the Far West with a win Thursday. “That was one of their goals coming into the season,” Montiel said, adding the other goal was to place at the state tournament. “We’re on our way.” The Pirates also host their own tournament on Saturday.

GOLF Davies, O’Meara will enter Hall of Fame Laura Davies of England is one of four people who have been chosen for the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Davies long has been regarded Britain’s greatest female golfer with four majors, 12 appearances in the Solheim Cup,and some 70 wins around the world. She will be inducted at a ceremony at St. Andrews next year during the week of the British Open. The others chosen for induction were Mark O’Meara, David Graham of Australia and architect A.W. Tillinghast. O’Meara won the Masters and British Open in 1998 among his 16 PGA Tour victories. This is the first year independent golf writers did not have a vote. Instead, the inductees were chosen by a 16-member panel made up mostly of golf administrators.
Kaymer leads after first day of Grand Slam SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda — U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer seized control with a tap-in birdie followed by an eagle on his way to a 6-under 65 and a two-shot lead over Bubba Watson in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. British Open and PGA champion Rory McIlroy fell back after a strong start and had a 69. Jim Furyk, the alternate in the 36-hole exhibition for the year’s four major champions, was seven shots behind after a 73. Kaymer was about as flawless as when he won at Pinehurst No. 2 in the summer. His lone mistake was a three-putt bogey on the par3 13th, though that hardly got in the way of his five birdies and an eagle.
SOCCER Timbers announce new developmental team PORTLAND — The Portland T imbers have announced the formation of a USL Pro team that will start play next year. The team, called Timbers 2 or T2, will play home games at the University of Portland’s Merlo Field. The USL Pro league, which had 14 teams this year, is a step below Major League Soccer and allows teams to develop young players and provide additional opportunities for MLS players who don’t have prominent roles with their teams. The rival Seattle Sounders also announced their own USL Pro team for next year.
BASKETBALL New York doesn’t renew contract of Laimbeer NEW YORK — The New York Liberty have split with coach and general manager Bill Laimbeer. The WNBA team said Tuesday it didn’t renew his contract. The Liberty went 26-42 in Laimbeer’s two seasons and missed the playoffs both years. The former Detroit Pistons star led the Detroit Shock to three WNBA titles as the team’s general manager and coach from 2002 to 2009.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEC commissioner Slive will retire next summer Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive will retire next summer after 13 years leading the league to unprecedented success and prosperity. The 74-year-old Slive said his retirement will take effect July 31, and also announced he plans to begin treatment for a recurrence of prostate cancer. Slive has become one of the most powerful figures in college sports. Under his leadership, the SEC became the nation’s most premier football conference, dug out from under a pile of NCAA compliance issues and won seven consecutive BCS titles. Overall, the SEC won 67 national championships in 15 of its 21 sponsored sports since he took over in 2002. Slive will continue to carry out his responsibilities from the SEC office and his home office in Birmingham, Alabama.

AEG gets more time to find team for LA LOS ANGELES (AP) — The City Council on Tuesday gave developer AEG another six months to lure a professional football team to the nation’s second-largest city, which has lacked one for two decades. Without discussion, the council extended AEG’s 2012 agreement to build a downtown stadium and convince an NFL team to move there. The original deal was set to expire on Saturday but the new deadline to obtain a team commitment is April. AEG would then have until October of next year to finalize the deal. AEG has had no luck getting a team to come but its chief legal and development officer, Ted Fikre, told a council
committee last week that there has been “renewed dialogue” with the league. In addition to receiving more time, AEG agreed to cover the $750,000 it would cost for a “Plan B.” If no new stadium is built, the money would pay the early design and study costs of expanding the existing Los Angeles Convention Center — next door to where the proposed Farmer’s Field stadium would stand. Los Angeles hasn’t had an NFL franchise since losing the Rams and Raiders after the 1994 season. However, Mayor Eric Garcetti told radio station KFWB-AM on Tuesday that the recent $2 billion sale of the Clippers basketball team showed the value of a Los Angeles franchise.
Garcetti said it is possible that someone at the NFL owners’ meeting next spring will decide to take their team to Los Angeles, and a football team worth perhaps $1 billion or less would be “smart to come.” Garcetti has said that no public money will be used to build a downtown stadium, although ideas such as tax incentives have been floated in the past. Downtown isn’t the only place where an NFL team could choose to settle. Over the years, proposals have been floated for NFL stadiums in the Los Angeles suburbs of Carson, Irwindale and Industry, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, in a remodeled Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and near Dodger Stadium.
Honduras scores late for tie with U.S. men BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — For U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, the biggest perk of exhibition matches right now is getting the chance to experiment with many players in many different roles. That means winning isn’t always foremost in his mind. “There’s always a little bit of a risk,” Klinsmann said. And once again, taking that risk meant there would be no reward. The U.S. allowed victory to slip away in the final min-
utes for the second time in five days, this time spoiling a potentially storybook homecoming for Jozy Altidore. Maynor Figueroa’s header in the 86th minute pulled Honduras into a 1-1 tie against the Americans in an exhibition game Tuesday night that followed nearly the same script as Friday’s match against Ecuador. “That’s what these games are for,” Klinsmann said. “You definitely want to win these games, there’s no doubt about
it. But most importantly, it’s to see guys coming in and break into this group, get a little bit of feeling for this environment, for the expectations, get to know their teammates a little bit better.” Altidore, who grew up in Boca Raton, scored in the 10th minute for his 24th international goal, tying Joe-Max Moore for fifth place on the American career list. Mix Diskerud intercepted a pass, and Michael Bradley sent a long ball from the center circle.
Altidore chested it down, took two touches and beat goalkeeper Donis Escobar to his near post with a 15-yard, right-footed shot. “That’s the best medicine you can get as a striker, scoring goals,” Klinsmann said. The U.S. allowed Enner Valencia’s 88th-minute goal in a 1-1 draw against Ecuador on Friday in Connecticut; Diskerud had put the Americans ahead in the fifth minute of Landon Donovan’s farewell match.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR fined Brad Keselowski $50,000 and Tony Stewart $25,000 on Tuesday for their roles in the fracas at Charlotte Motor Speedway over the weekend. Both drivers also were placed on probation, with NASCAR saying the penalties “are about maintaining a safe environment following the race.” Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin were not penalized for their roles in the skirmishes after Saturday night’s race. “We knew that the new Chase format was likely going to raise the intensity level, and we want our drivers to continue to be themselves,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR senior vice president of competition and racing development. “However, the safety of our drivers, crew members, officials, and workers is paramount and we will react when that safety could be compromised.” The sequence of events began on the cool-down lap when Hamlin admittedly brake-checked Keselowski to show his displeasure with how Keselowski raced him over the final two laps. Keselowski then tried, but failed, to spin Hamlin. He then hit Kenseth’s car as they traveled toward pit road in an act of retaliation, Keselowski said, for Kenseth driving across the front of his car under caution with six laps remaining in the race. Keselowski inadvertently ran into the back of Stewart’s car as the entire field headed toward pit road. Stewart responded by backing his car up into Keselowski’s car. Keselowski then drove around several stopped cars and into the garage, with Hamlin following in his car. The two drivers cut through an empty garage stall before coming to a stop, and Hamlin
had to be restrained from confronting Keselowski. As Keselowski walked between two team haulers, Kenseth rushed in from behind and jumped him. Crew members quickly peeled Kenseth away, and he made it clear he was upset Keselowski hit him while his seatbelts were off and his window net down. Keselowski could be heard on video yelling: “You hit me under yellow!” Hamlin, Kenseth and Keselowski are competing for the Sprint Cup championship, and poor finishes Saturday night have Kenseth and Keselowski on the brink of elimination. The pressure of the Chase, which this year debuted an elimination format that cuts four drivers after every third race, has been singled out as a contributor to the mayhem at Charlotte. “There’s incredible pressure for everyone involved in that Chase right now,” Clint Bowyer said from Tuesday’s test at Phoenix. “It’s literally a knockout round.” Hendrick Motorsports driver Jeff Gordon praised the show of emotion — “The fans love it, the media loves it, sometimes our emotions just get away from us,” he said — while teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. thought Saturday night brought more attention to NASCAR. “I think that’s good for the sport, at least in the short term,” Earnhardt said. Stewart, meanwhile, did not qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. His involvement — however brief — put the three-time champion back in the spotlight. He sat out three races in August after a sprint car he was driving struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. at a dirt track in upstate New York; a grand jury decided he would not be charged in Ward’s death.

Sports BULLDOGS
Bobcats win again
Volleyball team grows as a family
THE WORLD
From Page B1 North Bend’s lead in the second game was 18-7 and the Bruins had momentum with four straight points when she slammed a kill. By the end of the game, she had two more, to go with two of Dunham’s aces to close out the game. Thies also finished the match with a kill and ended up with five kills on six attempts for the night. “That’s the same thing she did the other night,” Willett said. The win continued a recent stretch of better matches by the Bulldogs. “We’ve definitely come together more as a team,” Dunham said. “The more we come together, the more we talk. The more we talk, the better we play.” A big step for the Bulldogs was a team-bonding exercise a few weeks into the season. “Family is our motto,” Powley said. “We’ve blossomed. We’ve come together and learned we can trust each other.” That’s important for a team with three seniors — Dunham, Thies and Lindsay Henson — and two freshmen — Kubli and Powley. It’s a broad age range. Powley just turned 14 and Dunham is the oldest player at 18. The teamwork, though, has kept the Bulldogs in contention for a spot in the postseason. “As far as work, I think they’re doing great,” Willett said of the team. “I’m happy with where they are.”
two aces and six digs.
Myrtle Point’s volleyball team tuned up for its big match Thursday with Reedsport by sweeping visiting Waldport 2510, 25-11, 25-9. Morgan Newton had 21 assists for the Bobcats. Lyndzi Robbins had 11 aces and two kills, Grace Hermann had nine kills and four aces, and Nicole Seals had seven kills. The Bobcats host Reedsport on Thursday with a chance to clinch the league title. Braves beat Panthers: Reedsport swept visiting Gold Beach 25-13, 25-16, 25-19 in its final preparation for the Myrtle Point match. Mariah McGill had two aces, two stuff blocks and 18 kills for the Braves. Brittney Manicke added nine kills, Alyssa Aguirre had five aces and seven digs, Emily Lichte added four kills and Heather Wilkes had three aces, two kills and three digs. Kaylynn Hixenbaugh had 38 assists. Tigers top Toledo: Bandon swept the visiting Boomers, 2515, 25-10, 25-11 as Annmarie Pickett celebrated her senior night with five aces and nine digs. “It was a fun last home game and senior night for Annmarie,” Bandon coach Courtney Freitag said. Raelyn Freitag added 13 kills, two aces and seven digs for the Tigers. Toni Hall had five kills and two blocks and Kaylynn Pickett had 18 assists,
Mountain Valley Conference Devils sweep Billies: Coquille beat visiting Pleasant Hill 25-18, 25-16, 25-22 to keep their strong spot in the league standings. The Red Devils improved their league record to 42 with their victory to open the second half of the league season. “The kids are playing well,” Coquille coach Dondi Howard said. “They’re continuing to play as a team.” Darian Wilson had nine kills and five digs in Tuesday’s win. Esabella Mahlum had six kills and eight digs, McKenna Wilson had eight kills, Tara Edwards had eight assists and seven digs, Bailey Waddington had four aces and eight digs and Jessica Hall had eight digs. Alix Leavitt had nine kills and four digs for the Billies. Dana Brooks had four kills and 23 digs and Sophia Casarze had 16 assists and nine digs.

Sara Paretsky, an author of detective fiction, said, “Sometimes I think I’m a one-trick pony because I’m not very inventive about new ways of telling stories.” This week, trick one has been a one-trick spade pony with the king-four in the dummy opposite declarer’s queen-eight-three. But there can be more than one trick in this pony. Today, South is once more in three no-trump and West again leads the spade six. But there is a difference — in this deal, West opened two spades
to show a respectable six-card suit and some 6-10 high-card points. How does that affect declarer’s line of play? North might have overcalled two spades with two no-trump, but with an inflexible spade stopper and four hearts, a takeout double was preferable. Then South went for what looked like the most likely game, despite his uncertain spade stopper. (Note that five diamonds looks reasonable on the North-South hands, but the bad trump break would kill that contract.) South starts with eight top tricks: one spade (given the lead), four hearts and three clubs. Three more winners can come from diamonds, but since East probably has that ace (not many players open a weak two with a pair of aces), there is a risk that the defenders will take five spade tricks first. In the last two days, declarer had to play dummy’s king at trick one. Now, though, the only way to make this contract is to play low from the dummy and low from hand, letting East take the trick with his 10. That anesthetizes the spade suit and the contract comes home with an overtrick. **
