Newport closure will increase NB workload BY KURTIS HAIR The World

NORTH BEND — The U.S. Coast Guard Sector in North Bend is about to get a lot busier after the Newport air facility closes, if it does. On Dec. 1, the Coast Guard will close its air facility in Newport

and consolidate all of its aviation resources on the Oregon Coast to North Bend and Astoria in an effort to save money. The majority of calls will go to North Bend. Since the Coast Guard announced its decision, many fishermen, Newport residents and Oregon lawmakers have voiced their concerns over the safety of

those at sea. It would take an hour for the Coast Guard to get from North Bend, and Newport has one of the busiest ports on the Oregon Coast. Newport recently completed a multimillion-dollar rebuilding of the international terminal because

Bi-Mart division buys Kmart site

Lakeside joins pot tax parade BY KURTIS HAIR The World

LAKESIDE — Lakeside will join with other Coos County cities in establishing a tax on marijuana, medical marijuana and marijuana-related products, though the decision did not come easy. The Lakeside City Council met Thursday night and voted 6-1 on an ordinance that will establish a gross receipts tax on business owners who sell marijuana. Councilor Rudy Sherych voted

against the ordinance. On Nov. 4, Oregon voters will get to decide whether they want to legalize recreational marijuana, and before they head to the ballot box, many local governments want to establish a tax. Lakeside, like other Coos County towns, will set a 5 percent tax on medical marijuana and a 10 percent tax on recreational marijuana. Although the ordinance passed, a passionate discussion over the issue preceded the deci-

sion. “It looks like it’s probably going to pass for the statewide,” said Councilor Robert Dietrick. “Basically, they’re telling me to ignore federal law and pretend like it’s not there.” Dietrick said the law was a “joke,” and it’s too easy to get a medical marijuana card. For Sherych, the proposed tax rate was something to reconsider, he said.

eral law banning marijuana in general and state law allowing patients to use marijuana as medicine. Wolke relied on previous rulings in cases involving cities invoking home rule powers against state law, citing several where courts found the state law did not expressly or implicitly pre-empt local authority. He noted, however, that state liquor laws do pre-empt local authority. “Because of this language, there has never been room for any government entity, other than the Oregon Liquor Control

Gary Fulmer, Coos Bay Robert Miller, Coos Bay Crystal Johnson, Coos Bay Duane Coleman, Reedsport Helen Fitzgerald, Reedsport

Commission, to regulate alcohol,” Wolke wrote. In the dispensary license case, “there are no such words of express pre-emption,” the judge said. Hoping to tighten loose ends of the voter initiative, the Legislature adopted a law last year allowing state-licensed dispensaries to sell card-holding marijuana to patients. The law was later amended to let cities impose a one-year moratorium after cities and counties complained about having to allow dispensaries.

GRANTS PASS — A judge in the heart of southwestern Oregon’s marijuana growing country has ruled that the city of Cave Junction has the power to ban medical marijuana dispensaries, not just declare a moratorium. Josephine County Circuit Judge Pat Wolke ruled Thursday in Grants Pass that a law enacted by the Legislature in 2013 does not prevent cities from denying busi-

ness licenses to dispensaries. The lawsuit was brought by Cave Junction against the state over an application for a business license to operate a dispensary. That license application has been tabled. Ryan Kirchoff, the attorney for the city, says at this point the ruling applies only to the parties involved. But he expects it will be appealed, at which point a Court of Appeals ruling would apply statewide. The judge did not address the primary argument of the lawsuit — the constitutional conflict between fed-

DEATHS

BY JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press

COQUILLE — It is a charge that has rarely, if ever, been filed in Coos County. Vana Gaye Boren, 54, of Allegany, finds herself being charged for causing the death of her elderly mother last March. Authorities believe that Willa Faye Boren, 87, died on March 9, but after a six-month investigation a Coos County grand jury, this week, was convinced that they should indict her daughter on charges of firstd e g r e e manslaughter and murder by abuse. Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said the latter charge is Vana Boren not one often seen in this county. “This is the first time since I’ve been here that I recall we’ve ever charged it,” he said. The indictment alleges that between Jan. 1 and March 9, Vana Boren “recklessly and under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life,” caused the death of Willa Boren, who was dependent. The incident is reported to have occurred at the family home, 66170 Church Road in Allegany. Murder by abuse has a mandatory life sentence, with a minimum sentence of 25 years served before being eligible for parole. Firstdegree manslaughter is a Measure 11 crime punishable by a maximum 20-year sentence. If convicted, first-degree manslaughter has a mandatory minimum sentence of 120 months. Boren pleaded not guilty at her initial appearance Friday morning and was appointed a defense attorney. A status hearing has been set for 8:30 a.m. Nov. 12. Security was set at $2 million. The Coos County Major Crime Team was involved in this investigation, with the Coos County SEE PLEA | A8

Man jailed after kidnap report POLICE

COOS BAY — The Coos Bay Police Department arrested a 21-year-old man late Thursday morning after responding to reports of a kidnapping at gunpoint on the 700 block of South Second Street. Gabriel Alonzo was charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping after police found Alonzo near the victim’s vehicle and in possession of stolen property. Alonzo was taken into custody and transported to the Coos County Jail.

Domestic call turns into fire COOS BAY — A domestic call morphed into a house fire Friday afternoon on Libby Lane. Coos Bay Fire Chief Mark Anderson said Coos County sheriff’s deputies were responding to a “domestic issue” at a house in the 92600 block of Libby Lane minutes before firefighters were called in at about 1:30 p.m. Friday for a

R E P O R T S house fire. Thirteen Coos Bay firefighters responded, as did search and rescue, sheriff’s deputies, an ambulance and Oregon State Police. “Everyone got out OK,” Anderson said. “We were a little concerned about them (one occupant) being exposed to smoke, but the ambulance company is taking a look at them and they don’t want to go to the hospital.” Pacific Power disconnected electric to the house, a typical precaution. Anderson said it’s unknown yet what started the fire. “We’re winding down our suppression activity,” Anderson said at about 2 p.m. Friday.

Man killed in fire is thought to be Clausen BY AMY MOSS STRONG The World

RIVERTON — It is believed that award-winning wood sculptor and former Bandon resident Phillip A. Clausen died early Thursday morning, Oct. 15, in a fire that started in his Riverton studio and home. He was 88. According to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, at about 12:45 a.m., sheriff’s deputies and the Coquille Police Department were dispatched to 93937 Highway 42S, Coquille, in response to a residence fire occurring there. Upon arrival, the residence was found to be fully engulfed in flames. The structure was a two story wood structure that had been converted into a myrtlewood shop that sits right along the highway in the unicorporated community of Riverton.

Fire units from the Coquille Fire Department and the Bandon Police Department responded and were able to extinguish the flames, according to the Sheriff’s Office. After the fire was extinguished, a man believed to be Clausen was found deceased. Four other people were displaced by the fire. A positive identification of the victim and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the following agencies: Coquille Fire Department, Bandon Fire Department, Coquille Police Department, Oregon Department of Transportation, Oregon State Fire Marshall’s Office, Coos County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Red Cross of Oregon. Clausen had deep roots in the Coos County area, particularly the Coquille River

Valley, where his Danish ancestors immigrated in the mid-1800s. He was famous for his carved wood furnishings made from wood he sourced and salvaged locally. Many of his pieces adorn Bandon homes and buildings, including a massive myrtlewood bar at the Bandon Community Center. Among his signature carvings were myrtlewood mushroomshaped lamps, as well as other functional art pieces, including tables and chairs and even a wooden bathtub. A subject of OPB’s Oregon Art Beat television feature, Clausen’s highly praised work has been exhibited at numerous juried art shows, featured in museum showings, news articles, and books and displayed in many area homes, offices, restaurants, city and county buildings and other establishments.

Keep our heads straight on Ebola Our view Our region’s health care providers say they’re prepared to battle the Ebola virus, however unlikely it is to appear.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Every time we’ve run a story on Ebola lately, we’ve wondered if we are doing all we can to present the information without creating undue panic. After all, Oregon is half a world away from Liberia, and at least 2,100 miles from Dallas, Texas. People still worry. And, considering how this deadly disease has spread, 2,100 miles can feel too close. So, we got some reassurance this week from Florence Pourtal-Stevens, the Coos County public health administrator, with the Department of Health and Human Services. Oregon is, indeed, unlikely to see an outbreak of the disease. There is only one international flight from

Amsterdam that comes through Portland International Airport, and airport officials already have a response plan in place. As we’ve said before, we here on the South Coast are also in many ways like an island, isolated by the Coast range and a relatively low volume of visitors, especially at this time of year. Nevertheless, PourtalStevens said her department has been working with health care providers here for months to make sure everyone is prepared. The region’s major medical centers already have the necessary hazardous materials suits ready and routinely train staff in how to use them, she said. Every scrap of new information

distributed by the Centers for Disease Control, the Oregon Health Authority and other public health sources is immediately shared and discussed. Bay Area Hospital has an emergency response team — “team Ebola” — that constantly keeps track of CDC guidelines, too, said Dr. Terrance Bach, director of medical affairs. Last Friday the public health department hosted a table top disaster exercise with local health officials, walking through what each agency would do if a patient appeared showing signs of infection. “It was really helpful for everyone to talk (their procedures) through,” she said. “Everyone learned from the

experience.” Putting it in perspective, Pourtal-Stevens said South Coast residents have more to fear from influenza, which can also be deadly if not treated. Still, she understands that people remain concerned as the Ebola stories keep coming. “I’ve made (preparing for Ebola) a priority in the department,” she said. You can find the latest information on the disease and what’s being done to fight back at the Public Health Department website: http://www.co.coos.or.us/D epartments/healthandhumanservices/PublicHealth.a spx; or at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: www.cdc.gov.

The folks at Mahaffy Ranch are up to their armpits in pumpkins again for the fall and Halloween season. Maybe firing the corn cannon is your cup of tea. Of course, you could always just harvest your own pumpkin. And don’t forget — pumpkin chunkin’ later this month. The patch is open noon-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just head up Coos River, cross the bridge and follow the signs.

Let’s start all over The Bandon Community Youth Center board of directors continues remaking the organization. Word this week is that it closed the thrift store, which was costing more than it was making. The reconstituted recently board wants to take the youth center in a new direction, with more structured programs for kids. The center itself has been closed for months, but it should reopen in January. Gotta wish these folks luck. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for you.

Pomp and circumstance Now here’s a novel way to honor military veterans. The Elkton School District wants to award high school diplomas to any qualifying veteran who never got their sheepskin. The effort will be part of the school district’s regular annual Veterans Day celebration. Veterans just need to supply the school with their DD214 discharge papers, and the school will even help in getting those. Call Melissa Whitle at 541-584-2115, ext. 1. Small community — big heart.

Letters to the Editor Protect, preserve Elliott Forest Ten points regarding options for conservation of the Elliott State Forest: 1. The Elliott is presently the largest carbon sink on the planet. While young trees sequester more carbon, the old forests store it, maintaining a delicate balance in today’s climate crisis. 2. Our salmon struggle to return after decades of inadequate stream protection and loss of spawning habitat due to clearcutting induced washouts in heavy winter rains. 3. The Elliott is home to several endangered species and falls under the protection of the Federal Endangered Species Act. 4. The Elliott is bound by an antiquated (almost 100-year old) Common School Fund mandate

which no longer fits 21st century criteria and should be abandoned, revised or amended. 5. A land trade of equal value for a less critically important forest can solve all interests. The Elliott could rejoin her original sister forest, the Siuslaw National Forest of the Umpqua River, and in such a trade provide continued funding while protecting critical forest lands. 6. The Elliott could also serve as a state park, serving thousands in recreational opportunities, tourism and a multitude of healthy, sustainable options while employing people in the conservation industry. 7. True second-growth tree plantations can continue to be thinned from previously logged restoration units, securing continued revenue. 8. The projected $3-$4 hundred million valve placed on this

state forest will never come to fruition if these issues are held up in litigation and courtrooms, and our schools will gain nothing financially. 9. A conservation industry as opposed to an extraction industry can provide true and lasting stability to our previously exploited, hard hit and over harvested forest resource. My vote is no on privatization. 10. And finally, I have lived in the Elliott for 40 years. My land bordering the state forest on the west fork of the Millicoma River. We have witnessed the loss of nearly one-fourth mile of salmon spawning beds on our property alone. The near loss of two homes with steep washouts coming within feet of total destruction, and we have engaged national interest in our fight against poisonous phenoxy herbicide sprays Agent Orange

Charter’s benefits elude its critics Your Views BY RONNIE HERNE

There is no season like political season to bring out the Chicken Littles among us. If every sky fell that these cluckers say is going to fall, we’d be in darkness. But we’re not. Life goes on. And yes, the sun will rise in the East on Nov. 5, regardless. So, just what is it the naysayers and natterers are saying about this “Voice of the Voters” Coos County Home Rule Charter? Plenty! And they’ve got it all wrong (again.) Let’s start with, the charter creates nine new positions! How will we pay for them and all their perks! Well, let’s see. The veteran’s officer already exists. So does the human resource director. Likewise, the two wildlife services officers, and the forestry guy. The maintenance chief and the procurement person can be designated from existing staff. That leaves us with two: the two new commissioners that will be elected next May. Two new commissioners are one of the featured highlights of this Home Rule Charter. It brings the total of commissioners to five with four being required to vote “aye” for an issue to pass. This is a tremendous protection for the voters: no more two people passing rules that impact 63,000 citizens! Let’s continue with, “We’re going to have to vote every day!

Every week! Every morning, the red button or the green button! Cluck, cluck...” The state sets up four voting days a year: March, May, September and November. Surely any qualified commissioner could pre-plan sufficiently to place any needed ballots on the calendar for one of those dates? There is no need whatsoever for any special ballots,not if commissioners are competent. Here’s some more. “It’s going to hogtie the county government! It’s going to slow down county government!” Yes, they’ve grasped it, however dimly. That is one of the chief goals of the charter, to slow things down to a point that the voters get a chance to see what is actually going on behind all those closed doors. This is a very good thing. It will result in some very enlightened votes by the people. Are you ready for this one? “The administrative costs may be... millions!” The reference here is to the costs of putting information on the county website and making available copies of certain ordinances and documents in the county commissioners’ office. How much does each keystroke cost, anyway? This information should already be available; it

shouldn’t take this charter to make it available to you. This one is fun! “The meetings will last six hours! The meetings will last two days!” What they are going on about is the requirement that you be allowed to speak at county meetings, be allowed to ask questions of your commissioners on any issues before them, before they vote. Imagine that! You get to be part of the proceedings. And yes, the first couple meetings might be long. We have suggested to the commissioners that they provide snacks. We were greeted with stony silence. And this is probably the corker of them all. “Why not three to vote in something? Why four? You’ll never get four to agree to anything!” This “four” is in place to protect the voters. If four people cannot agree on an issue that is to impact 63,000 then they can just take it back to the drawing board. This is not a difficult concept. The naysayers don’t want this Home Rule Charter because it upends certain perks and privileges, disturbs the status quo. Yes it does. And this is a good thing. The charter is full of benefits to the people of Coos County.It reins in reckless spending. It empowers

citizens at meetings and at elections. It mandates votes on urban renewal taxes, which are an insidious reallocation of your tax dollars. It seats power with the five elected commissioners, not with some unelected, unresponsive county manager. The charter will increase veterans county open-office time. Property rights will be secured with the property owners. There will be dedicated (i.e., cannot be used for anything else) maintenance funds for the county buildings and equipment. (No more $18 million incinerators lost through 18 years of neglect.) County property land use revisions will require a vote. So will distribution, by whatever means, of county assets like forests and minerals. Bids for county buildings, goods, and services will be widely advertised, submitted sealed and opened in announced public meetings. The lowest bid will not necessarily be the best bid. And supplies will be purchased in bulk to attain the best cost savings. Your “Voice of the Voters” Coos County Home Rule Charter is on your ballot as Measure 6149. It’s all about the voters. Remember to vote. Ronnie Herne is co-founder of the organization Americans for Responsive, Responsible, Representative Government, and one of the principal crafters of the Coos County Home Rule Charter.

‘Status digger’ label offends DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing “Tony” for a few weeks. He is kind, caring and will make a great boyfriend, husband and father someday. My problem with him is he thinks I’m a “status digger.” (It’s similar to a gold digger, but he means I care only about someone’s standing in the community.) His rationale is based on my friendships. I come from a privileged background. While some acquaintances in my circle are spoiled and superficial, my close friends and I are n o t . Because I DEAR grew up here, it was only natural I’d date guys from a similar b a c k ground. While I was n o t opposed to JEANNE outPHILLIPS dating side my social circle, the opportunity never presented itself. Abby, I have never measured a guy because of his position in society. The thought never occurred to me. I admit I would probably be more inclined to date someone from a similar background because that’s what I’m familiar with, but I don’t think this makes me a social climber, status digger or elitist. How should I address this with Tony? I’m afraid our relationship will end if he can’t see me for who I really am.— JUST ME IN HOUSTON DEAR JUST ME: Tony may come from a blue-collar background. Because he perceives you and your friends as having had so much given to you, he may feel inadequate, so he’s putting you on the defensive by accusing you of being solely interested in social status. Of course, that’s stereotyping, and it isn’t fair to you. Because someone comes from inherited status/wealth there is no guarantee that it won’t disappear. That’s the reason some women prefer selfmade men to those from a privileged background. You and Tony should have a frank talk. When you do, suggest that before he assumes any more preconceptions about you are true, he should get to know you — because if he doesn’t, he will miss out on someone who is not only very nice, but who thinks HE has a lot to offer. DEAR ABBY: When I was in my 20s, I was involved in a long-term relationship with a married man. I became pregnant, we ended the relationship and I gave birth to an amazing, intelligent and well-adjusted son, “Kyle.” There has been no contact with my former lover, and we have no mutual acquaintances. Now that Kyle is an adult, he has expressed an interest in contacting his father. He is curious, but doesn’t want to disrupt his father’s life. Kyle doesn’t feel he missed out by not meeting his father; he simply wonders what he is like. The man is easy to locate on social media because he has an unusual last name. I don’t want to see my son hurt by rejection or lack of interest from this man. Should I make the initial contact? If so, what would be the best way to do it? — PROTECTIVE MOM IN TENNESSEE DEAR PROTECTIVE MOM: Your impulse may be to protect your son, but Kyle should make the contact. When he does, he should tell the man that you are his mother, and that he would like to meet him for no other reason than to ask him some questions and get his medical history. The response Kyle gets will tell him a lot about the man who fathered him. But there is no guarantee that a man who never provided financial support for his son will be receptive, compassionate or polite, and your son should be prepared.

Redmond High School students Kyle Platt, left, and Tacoma Clowers work together on installing a section of Redmond's first piece of roundabout art in Redmond, on Tuesday,. The art piece's installation culminates a two-year project involving the city, its school system and community artists.

Round and round for student art REDMOND (AP) — So intent was Redmond High School senior Kyle Platt on buffing out some welding seams that it took him a moment to realize that the work a classmate was doing on the opposite side was sending a shower of sparks over his head. He’d been at it all morning, getting realworld practice in what until now had been just another class. “Most of it has been good, but a few sections have been hard,” Platt said regarding the nearly 12-ton metal sculpture being installed at Redmond’s Yew Avenue roundabout this week. “The thinner stuff is harder to work with because we have to weld at a cooler temperature so we don’t melt the metal.” Platt and his fellow welding students from Redmond High — Alec Carter, Brock

Penhollow, Tacoma Clowers and Seth Sutherland — have been working on the student-designed sculpture since spring, when a team of art students from Redmond, Ridgeview and Redmond Proficiency high schools turned over their part of the project. The art piece’s installation culminates a two-year project involving the city, its school system and community artists. It started with a $2,800 grant from the Oregon Arts Commission, enough to pay local metals artist Ryan Beard a stipend to mentor a team of students through the work. Materials were purchased by the city with funds set aside from the roundabout installation budget, and Redmond matched the grant with an in-kind donation of staff time dedicated to planning and installation.

It’s estimated the project’s end budget will be around $30,000. “The students were responsible for design, budget management, fabrication and installation of this sculpture,” said Community Development Director Heather Richards in a news release. “It was a huge undertaking, and they exceeded expectations, giving our community a tremendous legacy public art project that will be enjoyed by all.” The city is hoping all the students who put in time on the project will be able to return for its ribbon cutting next week, including college freshman Teddy Tsai, who was responsible for the idea of using a Fibonacciinspired swirl to show off the sculpture’s tribute to the High Desert.

PORTLAND — A Houston billionaire who has given $1.5 million in support of a ballot measure to change Oregon’s primary election system says the proposed format is one of the few solutions to lessening dysfunction in Washington, D.C. John Arnold, 40, said he’d like the proposed “top-two” system to spread nationally as a way to reduce the influence of political insiders and highly partisan voters. His contributions to the group Open Primaries make him the largest donor of the campaign. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has given $1.25 million directly to the “Yes on 90” campaign. “I think it’s the one solution that has theoretical merit,” said Arnold, a self-described policy wonk.“It can be practically enacted and it’s shown anecdotal evidence of working.” Arnold said he donated to the effort simply because it’s on the ballot. His home state does not have a signaturedriven initiative process. “The only way to get an initiative on the ballot in Texas is if it’s approved by the state Legislature,” he said. “Top two, because it’s a threat to the established political parties, would never get passed by the state Legislature.” If Measure 90 is approved, all candidates would appear on a primary ballot sent to all voters. The top two finishers would advance to the November election, even if from the same party.

Oregonians soundly rejected a similar measure in 2008, but neighboring California and Washington state both use the top-two system. Supporters contend it’s only fair to allow independent voters to have a say in who advances to the general election.They also think moderate candidates would have a better chance of being elected because Republicans and Democrats would need to broaden their appeal beyond their primary bases. The Republican and Democratic parties oppose Measure 90 as do some minor political parties, Oregon Right to Life and labor unions. Arnold made his fortune as a natural gas trader, first at Enron and then as a hedge fund manager. He retired in his late 30s to focus on charitable giving and political causes. Some of those causes — charter schools and public employee pensions — have made him the enemy of labor unions. Most of the money to defeat the measure has come from unions. Primary voters tend to be older, wealthier and less diverse than those who vote in November. The “No on 90” campaign says Arnold and other Measure 90 donors want those voters to narrow the field. Arnold denied supporting open primaries as a way to elect politicians who share all his views. “There’s no ulterior motive here,” Arnold said, adding: “This is about: ‘Do the politicians represent the whole electorate or a narrow slice.”’

Washington

FBI making a weak case on encryption BY JACK GILLUM AND ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The text messages captured a cover-up of unimaginable abuse: Parents had struck their toddler so often that they ultimately killed her. The child shook badly because we beat her, the father wrote, and the mother complained that their 2year-old was the devil. FBI Director James Comey says encrypting data stored on smartphones and computers could hurt criminal investigations, and evidence reviewed by The Associated Press shows that the child abuse case in Los Angeles from summer 2011 is a powerful, compelling argument. Prosecutors said the texts recovered by investigators prompted the parents to practically beg for a plea deal. But at least three other examples the FBI director has cited are not so cut and dry. They are cases in which the authorities were tipped off — or even solved the crime — through means other than examining data they took from victims or suspects. While digital evidence may have aided those investigations, authorities nonetheless relied upon evidence beyond what was stored on a cell phone to nab a criminal or secure a conviction. The struggle to justify the FBI’s complaints about new phone encryption underscores the uphill fight facing the Obama administration in the wake of disclosures by former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden. Those revelations showed the government was collecting phone records and digital communications of

millions not suspected of a crime. It’s not clear how the FBI hopes to untangle the encryption technology already rolled out to consumers, such as seeking new legislation on Capitol Hill restricting its use. Congress is expected to return to Washington in November to consider the USA Freedom Act, legislation aimed at reining in the NSA’s surveillance capabilities and providing more transparency to secret proceedings in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI chief on Thursday cited cases involving a sex-offending cab driver in Louisiana, an abusive mother in Los Angeles, a Kansas drug ring and a reckless driver in California, saying each showed the value of law enforcement’s ability to read files on cell phones. “Encryption isn’t just a technical feature. It’s a marketing pitch. But it will have very serious consequences for law enforcement and national security agencies at every level,” Comey said, echoing earlier comments after Apple Inc. and Google Inc. said they would encrypt their phones by default. The government’s concerns may be directed in part toward Apple’s iMessage platform, which offers endtext encrypted to-end messages, unlike traditional That SMS messages. encryption likely means the only way for police to read those messages is by obtaining a user’s iPhone. Apple has sold hundreds of millions of devices that use iMessage. Most examples the FBI director cited showed that evidence extracted from phones was, at best, supplementary.

Fed chair warns of wealth gap WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen sounded an alarm Friday about widening economic inequality in the United States, suggesting that America’s longstanding identity as a land of opportunity was at stake. The growing gap between the rich and everyone else narrowed slightly during the Great Recession but has since accelerated, Yellen said in a speech at a conference in Boston on economic opportunity. And robust stock market returns during the recovery helped the wealthy outpace middle-class America in wages, employment and home prices. “The extent and continuing increase in inequality in the United States greatly concerns me,” Yellen said. “By some estimates, income and wealth inequality are near their highest levels in the past hundred years.” Yellen’s extensive comments on economic inequality marked an unusual public departure for a Fed chair. Her predecessors as head of the U.S. central bank tended to focus exclusively on the core Fed issues of interest rates, inflation and unemployment. Indeed, the Fed’s mandate doesn’t

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden, the youngest son of Vice President Joe Biden, has been kicked out of the military after testing positive for cocaine, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday. The Navy said that Biden, a former lobbyist who works at a private equity firm, was discharged in February — barely a year after he was selected for the part-time position as a public affairs officer in the Navy Reserve. Citing privacy laws, the Navy did not give a reason for the discharge, which was not disclosed until it emerged in the media on Thursday.

In this Oct. 16 file photo, Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen speaks during a visit to the office of CONNECT, a coalition of lemployment organizations in Chelsea, Mass. Yellen said Friday that the last several decades have seen the longest rise in income inequality in a century. Yellen noted, the average income of the top 5 percent of households rose 38 percent. For the remaining 95 percent of households, it grew less than 10 percent. The widening gap in overall wealth is even more pronounced. The average net worth of the bottom 50 percent of families — a group of about 62 million households — was $11,000 in 2013, Yellen said. Adjusted for inflation, that figure is 50 percent lower than in 1989. By contrast, the average real net worth of families in the country’s top 5 percent has jumped from $3.6 mil-

lion in 1989 to $6.8 million in 2013, according to the Fed’s data — an 89 percent surge. Many analysts argue that widening income inequality is hurting economic growth itself. The wealthy are receiving higher pay and rising investment earnings. Yet those households tend to spend less of their money than do low- and middleincome consumers who are dealing with sluggish wage growth. Because consumer spending accounts for roughly 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, less spending tends to slow growth.

explicitly include issues like income or wealth disparities. But since taking over from Ben Bernanke in February, Yellen has made clear she is deeply concerned about the financial challenges that ordinary workers and families face. Throughout this year, she has stressed the need for the Fed to keep rates low to boost economic expansion and hiring. She has said that the unemployment rate, now at 5.9 percent, doesn’t fully reflect the health of the job market: Yellen has expressed concern, for example, about stagnant incomes, the number of part-time workers who want full-time jobs and the many people who have given up their job searches and are no longer counted as unemployed. In her first speech as Fed chair, she highlighted the hurdles faced by three unemployed workers. And in congressional testimony in February, Yellen called income inequality “one of the most disturbing trends facing the nation.” Her remarks Friday, accompanied by extensive data compiled by her staff, expanded on her concerns. Between 1989 and 2013,

In a statement released by his attorney, Biden said he respected the Navy’s decision and was moving forward with his family’s love and support. He did not give a reason for his discharge. “It was the honor of my life to serve in the U.S. Navy,” Biden said. “I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge.” The vice president’s office declined to comment. Hunter Biden’s attorney didn’t respond to inquiries about whether Biden had used cocaine. Two people familiar with the situation said Biden, 44, was discharged because he failed a drug test last year. They weren’t authorized to discuss the incident by name and requested anonymity. The Wall Street

Journal first reported Biden’s discharge and failed drug test. An attorney by training, Biden applied to join the Navy Reserve as a public affairs officer and was selected in 2012 — one of seven candidates recommended for a direct commission for public affairs. A board of senior Navy officers interviewed Biden before making the recommendation. Because he was 42 at the time, he needed a special waiver to be accepted. Cmdr. Ryan Perry, a spokesman for the Navy, said Biden had been assigned to the Navy Public Affairs Support Element East, based in Norfolk, Virginia. The terms of Biden’s separation from the Navy were unclear. Typically,

military members discharged for failing drug tests don’t receive an honorable discharge. The vice president speaks about his children frequently during public appearances. In December, Hunter Biden and one of his daughters accompanied the elder Biden on a trip to Asia, where the vice president praised his son’s work around the world as the chairman of the World Food Program USA. “I’m so incredibly proud of him,” Vice President Biden said. Earlier this year, Hunter Biden raised eyebrows when he joined the board of a private Ukrainian gas company, just as his father and the Obama administration were working to wean Ukraine off Russian energy.

Benefit cards get secure chip WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is announcing a government plan to tighten security for the debit cards that transmit federal benefits like Social Security to millions of Americans. Cards issued by the federal government will now have an internal chip replacing

magnetic strips to reduce the potential for fraud, under the program being unveiled Friday. Concern is growing over the security of Americans’ financial data, with an estimated 100 million people having been affected by breaches in the past year, including at big retailers like Target and

Home Depot. The White House says the idea of the government program is to lead by example, to nudge the broader financial industry toward more secure standards. Obama will announce the plan at the offices of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Ebola prompts some to change travel plans NATIONAL

Slave’s daughter gets Confederate burial RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — When the ashes of Mattie Clyburn Rice, the daughter of a slave, are buried Saturday in her father’s grave in the North Carolina piedmont, a color guard of re-enactors Confederate will be in attendance. So will members of the United Daughters of Confederacy. That the daughter of a man enslaved in the 1800s should live to see the 21st century seems almost extraordinary enough — but equally remarkable is the record of her father, who went to war to cook for his master, saved the man’s life and ended up drawing a pension for his wartime service. The lives of Rice and her father Weary Clyburn, who was in his early 80s when she was born, illustrate the tangled threads of history in connection to slavery, the Civil War and its aftermath. Members of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans who knew Rice say she regarded her father as a Confederate soldier, but historians and his pension papers say that’s not exactly the case; he was a slave who went to war to serve his master. “There’s really no debate about the question of whether AfricanAmericans fought for the Confederacy. We know they didn’t,” said author and historian Kevin Levin of Boston, who blogs about the rise of the belief in black Confederates.

Constitution sails before restoration BOSTON (AP) — Old Ironsides took one last trip around Boston Harbor on Friday ahead of a major, multi-year restoration project, firing its cannons while the Dropkick Murphys punk band and a Boston Pops quintet entertained hundreds of special guests and dignitaries on board. The USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat, was pushed along by a tugboat, its sails already taken down as it prepares to enter dry-dock for the repairs, which the Navy says could take about three years.

D I G E S T The three-mast frigate, which earned its nickname after winning battles during the War of 1812 against Great Britain, gave a traditional 21-gun salute to Fort Independence on Castle Island, one of the oldest fortified sites in the country. It also gave a 17-gun salute at the Coast Guard’s Boston base and it’s all active-duty Navy crew laid a wreath in the harbor to honor the armed forces branch, which turned 239 years old this week. Gov. Deval Patrick and other high-ranking navy officials were among the 500 or so guests on board for the three-hour cruise. “It was amazing,” said Bill Poole, a member of the Lexington Minute Men who was dressed in his Revolutionary War era garb. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be on a ship of such antiquity.” Built in Boston and launched in October 1797, the USS Constitution was among the first warships of the new nation. It was commissioned by the U.S. Navy following the Revolutionary War in order to protect American merchant ships off the northern coast of Africa. For the most part, the USS Constitution still will be open for public tours until it officially enters dry dock in March 2015. The repair work is expected to involve re-coppering the ship’s hull, replacing worn riggings, changing out old planks on the gun and berth decks and making general repairs to the stern, bow and captain’s cabin. Dave Werner, spokesman for the Naval History and Heritage Command, which is overseeing the project, said the ship repairs will cost about $12 million to $15 million and be paid for by the Navy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facebook wants assurances from the Drug Enforcement Administration that it’s not operating any more fake profile pages as part of ongoing investigations. Facebook’s chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, said in a letter Friday to DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart that law enforcement agencies need to follow the same rules about being truthful on Facebook as civilian users. Those rules include a ban on lying about who you are. Sullivan’s letter was in response to a New York woman’s federal lawsuit claiming that a DEA agent created a fake online persona using her name and photographs stored on her cellphone. In court filings, Sondra Arquiett said her pictures were retrieved from her cellphone after she was arrested in July 2010 on drug charges and her cellphone seized. Arquiett said the fake page was being used by DEA agent Timothy Sinnigen to interact with “dangerous individuals he was investigating.” Arquiett is asking for $250,000 in damages. “Facebook has long made clear that law enforcement authorities are subject to these policies,” Sullivan

widespread practice among our federal law enforcement agencies.” The Justice Department initially defended the practice, arguing in an August court filing that while Arquiett didn’t directly authorize Sinnigen to create the fake account, she “implicitly consented by granting access to the information stored in her cellphone and by consenting to the use of that information to aid in ... ongoing criminal investigations.” Last week the agency

announced it would review whether the Facebook guise went too far.

Wall Street’s ‘fear gauge’ soars NEW YORK (AP) — Europe’s economy sputters, oil prices plunge and stocks start swinging wildly. Wall Street’s long dormant “fear index” now predicts more turbulence ahead. The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s volatility index, known as the VIX, doubled over the past month: from 12 to 26. Although that’s nowhere near the 80 reached in the financial crisis, the recent spike means traders are bracing for more big jumps and steep drops.

Fla. man gets life for loud music killing

Miller’s Furniture Restoration

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man convicted of first-degree murder for fatally shooting a teenager in an argument over loud music outside a Jacksonville convenience store was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole. sentence The life imposed by Circuit Judge Russell Healey was mandatory for 47-year-old Michael Dunn after prosecutors decided not to seek the death penalty. “Mr. Dunn, your life is effectively over,” Healey said. “What is sad ... is that this case exemplifies that our society seems to have lost its way.” Dunn was convicted of first-degree murder at a second trial in September after jurors deadlocked on the charge at his initial trial in February. Prosecutors say Dunn, who is white, fired 10 times into a sport utility vehicle carrying black teenagers in November 2012 and killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis of Marietta, Georgia. Evidence showed that Dunn, of Satellite Beach, fired the shots during a heated argument over the volume of music coming from the SUV carrying Davis and three other teenagers.

DALLAS (AP) — Travel agents say customers are asking whether it’s safe to fly, and what steps they should take to guard against Ebola. The virus has killed more than 4,500 in West Africa since the current outbreak began several months ago. Several people who contracted the disease there have been treated in the United States, but only three cases have been diagnosed in the U.S., all in Dallas. Two of those victims flew on commercial flights shortly before falling ill. To put that in perspective, on an average day, about 2 million people fly on domestic and international flights operated by U.S. airlines. Still, Ebola fear increased when officials disclosed that a nurse tested positive for the virus just over 24 hours after getting off a Frontier Airlines plane from Cleveland to Dallas-Fort Worth. Frontier has grounded the plane and notified hundreds of passengers on seven flights involving the same jet. Tim Husted, a travelerservices executive for Carlson Wagonlit Travel, a huge agency with offices around the world, said that fewer than 1 percent of the company’s leisure travelers have changed a booking because of Ebola. There is even less of a reaction among business travelers, he said, although a few have requested routes that avoid Dallas. Maryann Cook, a travel agent in New York, said that a Florida doctor who booked a $197,000 family safari trip to South Africa for 30 people next year wants to rebook it for 2016, even if it means losing a $60,000 deposit.

Reed worked with Klain in both the Obama and Clinton administrations. Under immense pressure to step up his response, Obama turned to Klain on Friday. He’s being asked to synchronize an alphabet blizzard of federal agencies: the CDC, NIH, HHS, DHS, FDA and DOD, to name a few. All are working in one fashion or another to stem Ebola in the U.S. and in West Africa, but breakdowns in the system that led to two

health workers contracting Ebola in Dallas have raised concerns that the government isn’t doing enough. No, his title isn’t “czar.” He’s the government’s Ebola response coordinator. Klain was Obama’s first choice for the job, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. He’s expected to stay on the job just five or six months and will report to Obama’s homeland security adviser, Lisa Monaco, and his national security adviser, Susan Rice. Those two advisers have been at the forefront of the Ebola operation at the White House, but with other threats competing for their attention, Earnest said Obama saw a need to bring on outside help to focus exclusively on Ebola. An attorney and longtime Democratic operative, Klain served as Vice President Al

Ebola ‘czar’ is not a doctor WASHINGTON (AP) — If there’s one thing the “Ebola czar” knows, it’s government. Ron Klain, President Barack Obama’s new point man on Ebola, has no medical or public health background. But he does have a wealth of experience managing unruly federal bureaucracies in times of crisis. The White House says that makes him the perfect candidate to shepherd the government’s response to a deadly, growing outbreak. Yet after demanding that Obama appoint a “czar,” some Republicans are balking at the president’s choice of a Washington insider and political operative to handle a public health emergency that has many Americans in fear. And though Klain has tackled the national financial

Gore’s chief of staff and was a key figure during the 2000 Florida presidential election recount, leading to his portrayal by Spacey in the HBO film “Recount.” He previously served under Attorney General Janet Reno in the Clinton administration and later as Biden’s chief of staff. During Obama’s first term, Klain helped spearhead the roughly $800 billion stimulus package in 2009 in response to the financial crisis — a massive, cross-government project that Klain’s supporters say offers parallels to the challenge he is now undertaking with Ebola. Out of government since 2011, Klain is currently president of the holding company of former AOL chairman Steve Case and general counsel for a Washington-based technology venture capital firm.

BI-MART Continued from Page A1 and Outdoor, will tailor its product offerings to farmers, ranchers and homeowners in the area. Don Leber, director of advertising at Bi-Mart, said the corporation is targeting a completion date in the spring of 2015, but given the weather, construction may extend toward the end of the season. The new division of BiMart opened its first store in Walla Walla, Wash., on April 10. Customers can expect a much different shopping experience at the new store, Leber said. “It’s not a membership store, and the merchandise makes us different,” Leber said. “About 85 percent of the products in a Cascade store are not offered at BiMart.”

PLEA Continued from Page A1 Sheriff's Office serving as the lead investigative agency.

The new store will have sporting goods and hardware departments like Bi-Mart, but with much greater product and brand selection. While some community members have voiced concern over the possibility of having a third Bi-Mart in the immediate area, Leber said the new store will support the area in a multitude of ways. “The positive of it is there isn’t this type of store in that area, so there’s a need for that type of merchandise, and we’re going to have the same philosophy as Bi-Mart with great quality and cus-

tomer service,” Leber said. “We’ll be serving an area that’s underserved, both in the Coos Bay and North Bend areas, but also up and down the coast.” Besides meeting the area’s product demand, Leber said the store will also have added economic benefits. “We’re going to be hiring a lot of people, so there’s an opportunity to work for us in a different capacity than with normal Bi-Mart stores,” Leber said. “It’s also an opportunity to invigorate the coastal area, which has been economically depressed for

Arnie Roblan issued a press release on Friday stating that Oregon senators and representatives have joined a collaborative effort to try to convince the Coast Guard to at least extend the closure. Gov. John Kitzhaber recently wrote a letter to Admiral Paul Zukunft, commander of the Coast Guard, expressing his concerns of the closing and the importance in keeping the facility open. Roblan goes on to write that Rep. Kurt Schrader met with Coast Guard leadership out of North Bend to “iron out” an agenda for a town hall meeting about the issue.

WHO faulted for Ebola failures as Obama taps czar LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization bungled efforts to halt the spread of Ebola in West Africa, an internal report revealed Friday, as President Barack Obama named a trusted political adviser to take control of America’s frenzied response to the epidemic. The stepped-up scrutiny of the international response came as U.S. officials rushed to cut off potential routes of infection from three cases in Texas, reaching a cruise ship in the Caribbean and multiple domestic airline flights. Republican lawmakers and the Obama administration debated the value of restricting travelers from entering the U.S. from countries where the outbreak began, without a resolution. But with Secretary of State John Kerry renewing pleas for a “collective, global response” to a disease that has already killed more than 4,500 people in Africa, the WHO draft report pointed to serious

errors by an agency designated as the international community’s leader in coordinating response to outbreaks of disease. The document — a timeline of the outbreak — found that WHO, an arm of the United Nations, missed chances to prevent Ebola from spreading soon after it was first diagnosed in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea last spring, blaming factors including incompetent staff and a lack of information. Its own experts failed to grasp that traditional infectious disease containment methods wouldn’t work in a region with porous borders and broken health systems, the report found. “Nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall,” WHO said in the report, obtained by The Associated Press. “A perfect storm was brewing, ready to burst open in full force.” The agency’s own bureaucracy

Former Iraqi pilots train IS fighters on Syrian MiG jets BEIRUT (AP) — The Islamic State group is test flying, with the help of former Iraqi air force pilots, several fighter jets captured earlier from air bases belonging to the Syrian military, a Syrian activist group said Friday. The report by the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights could not be confirmed, independently and U.S. official said they had no reports of IS militants flying jets in support of their forces on the ground. The new development came as the Islamic State group in Iraq pressed its offensive on the strategic city of Ramadi. The militants appeared to be taking advantage of the focus of U.S.-led airstrikes on the Syrian Kurdish city of Kobani, along the border with Turkey, to concentrate on their second front in Iraq. The Observatory said the planes, seen flying over the Jarrah air base in the countryside of Aleppo province in eastern Syria this week, are believed to be MiG-21 and MiG-23 jets. Rami Abdurrahman, director of the Observatory, said the planes have been flying at a low altitude, “apparently to avoid being detected by Syrian military radar in the area.” He described the flights as a “moral victory” for the Islamic State group, saying “the jets could not fly much further without being knocked down by the (international) coalition.”

was part of the problem, the report found. It pointed out that the heads of its country offices in Africa are “politically motivated appointments” made by the WHO regional director for Africa, Dr. Luis Sambo, who does not answer to the agency’s chief in Geneva, Dr. Margaret Chan. After WHO declared Ebola an international health emergency in August, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stepped in and had the United Nations take overall responsibility for fighting and eliminating the virus, among other things setting up an emergency response mission based in Ghana. Dr. Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of the Ebola virus, agreed that WHO acted far too slowly. “It’s the regional office in Africa that’s the front line,” said Piot, interviewed at his office in London. “And they didn’t do anything. That office is really not competent.” WHO declined to comment on

the document, which was not issued publicly, and said that Chan would be unavailable for an interview with the AP. She did tell Bloomberg News that she “was not fully informed of the evolution of the outbreak. We responded, but our response may not have matched the scale of the outbreak and the complexity of the outbreak.” Meanwhile, Obama moved to step up the U.S. response to the disease, naming Ron Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, as the administration’s point man on Ebola. Republican lawmakers continued pushing the administration Friday to consider restricting travel to the U.S. from the three Ebolastricken West African countries. But despite Obama’s statement Thursday that he was not “philosophically opposed” to such a ban, Earnest affirmed the White House’s resistance to such a move.

Republican Mike Leavitt, a former health secretary under President George W. Bush, said Friday that he sees “lots of problems” with such a ban. While it may seem like a good idea, Bush administration officials who considered it to contain bird flu concluded that it would not work, while raising a host of difficult questions about who would be allowed to travel. Other nations have taken steps to prevent travelers from the affected areas from crossing their borders. The Central American nation of Belize announced that it would immediately stop issuing visas to people from West African countries where Ebola had spread. U.S. officials continued their efforts to contain the fallout from the nation’s first reported case of Ebola, Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian traveler who died last week at a Dallas hospital.

The report on the IS flights in Aleppo added yet another layer of complexity to the Mideast crisis in the wake of the onslaught by the Islamic State militants. The U.S. and its allies are bombing IS bases in Syria and Iraq, where the extremists have seized large swaths of territory. During its blitz, the Islamic State group is known to have seized fighter jets from at least one air base it captured from the Syrian army in the eastern Raqqa province earlier this year. Militant websites had posted pictures of IS fighters posing next to the fighter jets, but it was unclear if they were operational. Abdurrahman said Islamic State members were being trained by Iraqi officers who had joined the group and who were once pilots under Saddam Hussein. In January, Islamic State militants also captured the Jarrah air base in Syria after bitter clashes with rival extremists and Syrian rebel groups. A mix of several Islamic rebel groups battling Syrian President Bashar Assad — including alQaida’s Syrian branch, the Nusra Front — had seized the base from government troops in early 2013. An Iraqi intelligence official said the government in Baghdad is aware of several ex-Iraqi military officers going to Syria to train militants with the Islamic State group.

Iraq imposes curfew in Ramadi, fearing militants BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq imposed a curfew in the western city of Ramadi on Friday amid fears that the Islamic State group was looking to advance on the strategically important city as attacks in Baghdad killed 28 people, officials said. The curfew, which began before dawn, is part of an effort to limit movement in and out of the city as government forces prepared to combat pockets of resistance there, said Sabah Karhout, the chairman of the Anbar provincial council. Ramadi, the capital of the vast Sunnidominated province of Anbar, is located 70 miles west of Baghdad. The Islamic State group has in recent weeks been

making gains against the embattled Iraqi military around Ramadi despite ongoing, U.S.-led coalition airstrikes on the militants. Capturing Ramadi could have a huge ripple effect throughout Anbar, since controlling the provincial capital ultimately paralyzes the surrounding areas and further helps the militants secure yet another corridor between Syria and Iraq for the passage of fighters, munitions and field artillery. “Limited U.S. airstrikes in Anbar are not enough,” said Liqaa Wardi, an Anbar provincial lawmaker. “We do not want to see airstrikes being wasted on minor targets, like a lone pickup truck moving in the desert.”

Nigeria, Boko Haram agree to cease-fire ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s government said Islamic extremists from Boko Haram have agreed to an immediate cease-fire, but many people expressed doubts Friday about a development that could end an insurgency that has killed thousands and left hundreds of thousands homeless in Africa’s most populous nation. The fate of more than 200 missing schoolgirls abducted by the insurgents six months ago still is being negotiated, Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade told The Associated Press. But French President Francois Hollande welcomed the “good news” and told a news conference in Paris that the girls’ release “could happen in the coming hours and days.” France has been involved in negotiations that led to the release of several of its citizens kidnapped by Boko Haram in Cameroon. Neither Hollande nor Nigerian government officials gave any details. Boko Haram negotiators “assured that the schoolgirls and all other people in their captivity are all alive and well,” Mike Omeri, the government spokesman on the insurgency, told a news conference. The chief of defense staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, announced the truce Friday and ordered his troops to

immediately comply with the agreement. “Already, the terrorists have announced a cease-fire in furtherance of their desire for peace. In this regard, the government of Nigeria has, in similar vein, declared a cease-fire,” Omeri said. But there was no immediate word from Boko Haram, which limits its public engagement to video announcements by its leader, Abubakar Shekau. Last year, when a government minister charged with negotiations announced an agreement, the group quickly published a video with Shekau denying it. He said at that time that whoever the government negotiated with did not speak for him, and that he would never talk to infidels. The United States, which had sent a team including hostage negotiators to help free the girls, said it could not confirm a cease-fire.“We cannot independently confirm that at this point,” deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told a news conference.

Powerful hurricane approaches Bermuda HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) — Hurricane Gonzalo pounded Bermuda with wind and heavy surf Friday, bearing down on the tiny British territory as a powerful Category 3 storm that could raise coastal seas as much as 10 feet. The storm was centered about 50 miles south-southwest of Bermuda in late afternoon with top sustained winds that had diminished slightly to 115 mph,according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.It was moving north-northeast at 16 mph and was expected to pass near or over Bermuda in the evening. A white haze covered the island as waves slammed into the shore and the wind uprooted banana trees. The Bermuda Weather Service said the eye of Gonzalo was likely to move over parts of the island in the coming hours, bringing a lull, but forecasters warned people not to go outside because the most dangerous winds were expected after nightfall. Hurricane-force winds were predicted to batter Bermuda for seven hours, and forecasters said a storm surge would cause significant flooding on an island about one-third the size of Washington, D.C. “We are still looking at an imminent pass near or over Bermuda,” said Jeff Torgerson, a meteorologist for the Bermuda Weather Service.

A MINUTE MESSAGE From

NORM RUSSELL

Vote and Pray The November elections are just around the corner and the rhetoric is becoming more acidic as the day approaches. I have often wondered why so much money and so many hateful comments are poured into a race to see who would be selected to become a“public servant.” Is it because people want to be a servant so badly they will do whatever it takes to become one, or is the term being misused? It matters not who is elected, because the truth is, God is still in control. We could elect the most despicable person and God would still be in control. Do not misunderstand me, I love my country and it pains me to watch it sink into moral decay. However, God is still going to be the one who is ruling over the affairs of all humanity. He will allow us to select who we will, and He will watch while we continue down a road that will lead to destruction. We make the choice. I encourage everyone to vote for those who have values consistent with God. Then spend time in prayer for those who are selected. Remember, God is still on the throne. Come worship with us Sunday.

Pirates, Bulldogs set up title bout ■ Civil War at Pete Susick Stadium will decide league title

BY GEORGE ARTSTITAS The World

Both Bay Area teams won on Friday, albeit by entirely opposite fashions, to set up the most intriguing Civil War in recent memory. Marshfield was able to sneak out of Tri City with a 21-20 win over South Umpqua behind three rushing touchdowns from Rylee Trendell and a late interception from Ben Martin. North Bend made quick work of Brookings-Harbor, blowing out the Bruins 51-7 on the road. Both teams enter next week’s Civil War at Pete Susick Stadium with identical 4-0 records in the Far West League. “This is the biggest game I’ve played in and also that our team has played in a long time,” Trendell said. “It’s going to be an awesome game and I can’t wait to just run through the tunnel with the crowd going crazy. It will be something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” Trendell was the key to Marshfield’s success on Friday, scoring on a 19-yard and two 10yard touchdowns to account for all of Marshfield’s scoring — except for three Kasey Banks extra points. Trendell — along with Matt McCallister and Andrew Sharp — ran a predominantly rush-centric game against the Lancers. Rain fell throughout the game and the Pirates had 180 yards on the ground to just 57 through the air. “Reminded me how leather heads played way back when,” Sharp said. “Playing in a mud pit and just have a showdown.” SEE CIVIL WAR | B4

Panthers shut out Bobcats THE WORLD Gold Beach set up a showdown with La Pine for the Sunset Conference football title next week by blanking visiting Myrtle Point 36-0 on Friday. Gold Beach coach Justin Storns said the score was not indicative of the game. “It was a playoff-type atmosphere,” Storns said. “Myrtle Point came in and played tough. I give a lot of credit to Myrtle Point. “They played their hearts out. It did not come easy, despite what the score said.” The Bobcats and Panthers both use power-style offenses. The difference Friday was Gold Beach’s defense never allowed Myrtle Point into the end zone. “Our whole year, our defense has played really good,” Storns said. On offense, JR Keeler ran for three touchdowns and quarterback Skyler Floyd ran for one score and passed for a touchdown to Raef Williams.

Marshfield rolls past North Bend in four BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

It’s hard not to seem patronizing by calling a four-set loss a triumph. But in North Bend’s 25-13, 25-8, 23-25, 25-15 Civil War loss to Marshfield on Thursday, just winning a set off the Pirates puts the Bulldogs in a league of their own in the Far West. The third-set loss represented the first time Marshfield has dropped a game through the first three-quarters of league play. The undefeated, 8-0 Pirates (16-2 overall) had won 23 consecutive set in league before that loss. “I think we kind of caught them off guard and we’re pretty happy about that,“ North Bend senior Brooklyn Dunham said after her final Civil War. “It was really frantic. I know personally I wanted to win at least one set because it’s my senior year.” “Our goal coming in here was to win at least one,“ interjected fellow senior Cassandra Thies, who head coach Les Willett has considered a spark plug recently. “We’re a really good team; we’re just young and

and persevered. Playing tight for most of the set, North Bend pulled ahead 23-18, forcing a time out from Marshfield head coach Tammie Montiel. The Pirates regained momentum with a five-point rally before Willett called a time out of his own tied at 23. Coming out of the time out, Codi Wallace closed out the set with a pair of kills. First, Wallace drove a spike into the chest of Katie Sharp — who had 12 digs on the night — that the Pirates couldn’t return. Wallace came back the next play on the right side of the net, pounding the ball hard enough to ricochet off two Pirates, kicking off towards the Marshfield student section for the set win. “We definitely played more timid and played not to lose,“ Bryant said. “In the fourth set we were just like ‘That can’t happen.’” It was back-to-business for the Pirates in the final set. Marshfield gave itself a cushy 8-3 lead that forced a Willett time out and went on to cruise to a 25-15 set win. SEE CIVIL WAR | B2

Clough had 11 kills and a game-high four aces. Fellow senior Paige Tavernier had 13 digs and a team-leading 23 assists. Bryant and junior Carli Clarkson led the Pirates with 15 digs each.

Hailee Woolsey led the Pirates with 12 kills and Allison had 11. Shaylynn Jensen added 18 assists. After the game, Marshfield found a silver lining in finally dropping a set. “It’ll help us down the road,” Tavernier said.“We spin it as a positive because it’s a test of our endurance and how we can recover from a game like that.” For North Bend, Wallace accrued a team-leading seven kills. Olivia Peck had a teambest 13 digs and Lexi Emmons added 12. In their final Civil War for a

trio of Bulldogs seniors, Dunham tallied four kills and five digs, Thies had 3 kills and two digs while Lindsay Henson added four digs and a kill. North Bend is now 3-5 (412 overall), and will have a vital showdown with third place Douglas on Monday and Siuslaw the following day, two victories the Bulldogs will likely need to make it into the postseason. With the win, Marshfield — ranked No. 5 in Class 4A by the Oregon Schools Activities Association — can clinch the outright Far West League title with a win against winless

on Brookings-Harbor Monday. After traveling to take on the Bruins, Marshfield will close out the regular season Tuesday on the road against Douglas. Then the Pirates can look ahead toward their home game in the state playoffs. “We have ups and downs during games but we’re pretty solid,” Tavernier said, adding that Marshfield is vastly more consistent than when they lost to Ridgeview last year in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. “We’re hoping to go further (than that).”

North Bend boys shutout Lancers had the other score for VOLLEYBALL Brookings-Harbor.

THE WORLD North Bend’s boys soccer team kept its unbeaten streak going with a 10-0 win at South Umpqua on Thursday. With the win over the Lancers, also North Bend’s ninth straight shutout in Far West League play, the Bulldogs pulled within a match of the league title. That last match will be tough, though, a battle at second-place BrookingsHarbor on Tuesday. During Thursday’s win over the Lancers, Ian Bream had a hat trick for the Bulldogs, while Ignacio Aguilar and Gustavo Gaia had a pair of goals each. Stewart Lyons and Kyle Zomerschoe each added a goal for North Bend and the Bulldogs scored on an own goal by South Umpqua. Brookings-Harbor 3, Douglas 0: The Bruins set up Tuesday’s showdown with North Bend with the shutout over the Trojans. David Daniels had two goals and Ferndando Villa

GIRLS SOCCER North Bend 10, South Umpqua 0:: North Bend set up its showdown with Brookings-Harbor for the Far West League title by blanking the Lancers. Both teams are 8-0-1 into heading Tuesday’s match. The winner, if there is one, will earn the league title and a spot in the final 16 of the Class 4A tournament. During Thursday’s win, North Bend got three goals from Emma Powley and single goals by Jordyn Wicks, Bri Cole, Gabby Hobson, Abbey Knight, Rowan Colby and Kadie Forderer, the Bulldogs’ regular goalie, who had a chance to play in the field during the second half. Brookings-Harbor 8, Douglas 0: Tyrah Baron had three goals and Siena Worthey had two goals and two assists as the Bruins kept pace with North Bend atop the league standings.

Mountain Valley Conference Devils burn Hawks: Coquille topped host La Pine 25-16, 25-16, 25-13 to stay in position for a playoff berth heading into three critical matches. Coquille is 5-2 and hosts second-place on Harrisburg Tuesday before traveling to Glide and closing the regular season at home against league-leading Creswell.

Lopez leads Blazers past Maccabi, 121-74 PORTLAND (AP) — Robin Lopez had 13 points and seven rebounds and the Portland Trail Blazers beat Maccabi Haifa of Israel 121-74 in an exhibition game Friday night. Brody Angley, who played at Santa Clara, led the Greens with 18 points and Jeff Allen, who played at Virginia Tech, added 14 points. Damian Lillard started for the Blazers after sitting out the last two games with a sore left foot and finished with 11 points. Portland’s starters played about 25 minutes apiece and coach Terry Stotts got a good preseason

look at his bench players. Lopez hit a layup and a free throw to give the Blazers a 48-28 lead that they stretched to 54-35 at the half. Portland led by as many as 45 points in the second half. Maccabi Haifa plays in the Israeli Basketball Super League. Owned by U.S. businessman Jeffrey Rosen, the team won the Super League championship in the 2012-13 season. The Greens are on a four-team tour of the NBA. They fell 101-95 to Washington on Wednesday night, and will also visit Sacramento and Toronto.

The team did draw a few protesters outside the Moda Center, and a woman seated courtside held a small sign reading “Boycott Israel.” Clippers 101, Jazz 97: Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford hit clutch 3-pointers in the final minute and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Utah Jazz 10197 Friday night for their first victory of the preseason.

MYRTLE POINT — Myrtle Point wrested the Sunset Conference title away from three-time champion Reedsport on Thursday night, but the Braves didn’t let go of their trophy easily. The Bobcats edged visiting Reedsport in five thrilling games, clinching the crown and a spot in the state playoffs. It was the first time Myrtle Point lost a set in league play and, ironically, the first time Reedsport had a match that was decided in more than three sets all year. “That was the most amazing game,” said Kayley Leslie, one of four Myrtle Point seniors honored before their final regular-season home match. “It was fun to play.” When the dust had settled, Myrtle Point had a 2514, 24-26, 25-18, 18-25, 15-5 victory that guaranteed the Bobcats the league title. Myrtle Point now will host the league playoffs and also is in position to host a firstround state playoff match based on its power ranking, no matter how the league playoffs come out. Both teams are eager for the rest of the season after Thursday’s thriller. “I just want to make it to state,” said Nicole Seals, another of the seniors honored Thursday, along with Grace Hermann and Nikki Miller. Reedsport, meanwhile, took pride in how much better it played Thursday than the first meeting between the teams, a sweep by the Bobcats on the Braves’ home court. “We worked really hard in practices,” said Reedsport setter Kaylynn Hixenbaugh, who was emotional after the loss Thursday. “That’s what we talked about — beating Myrtle Point.” She acknowledged that the Braves played well, “except for the first set and the last set.” Myrtle Point dominated the opening set, which looked much like when they teams played in Reedsport. The Braves were awful in serve receive for most of the set, when the Bobcats had five of their seven aces for the match, while Myrtle Point also established its potent attack, including Seals, Hermann and Kayley Leslie. But unlike the first match the teams, between Reedsport bounced back in the second set, leading most of the way. Even when Myrtle Point rallied to tied the set at 24 on back-to-back kills by Hermann, the Braves didn’t panic, closing out the game with back-to-back kills by Emily Lichte and Mariah McGill. That put both teams in a rare spot. Myrtle Point hadn’t lost a set in a league match. Reedsport hadn’t had a match the entire season that went more than three games. The Bobcats bounced back to take the third game, finishing it when Seals pounded a bad pass by Reedsport to the floor for a game-winning kill. But again Reedsport responded, seizing control of the fourth game when McGill had a kill to earn the serve and then had two aces during a four-point run that gave the Braves a 9-6 lead. Myrtle Point bounced back in front, but Reedsport surged again, reversing a 1513 deficit with a run that started with a kill by Julia Analco and included four straight service points, one an ace, by Rebecca Noffsinger. Natalie Nelson ultimately ended the set with a kill and the two teams were forced to a fifth set for the first time this year. The teams traded punches early in the final set before Myrtle Point scored eight

straight points — seven on serves by Lyndzi Robbins — to essentially put the match away. The quality of the match left both coaches happy with their teams. “I was pleased with the way they played,” Reedsport coach James Hixenbaugh said. Reedsport has benefited from a few lineup switches, that included elevating Lichte, a freshman, to the varsity squad, as well as moving Brittney Manicke from the middle to an outside hitter spot, where she feels more comfortable. McGill led the Braves with 17 kills, as well as five aces and four stuff blocks. Manicke had 10 kills and Lichte added six kills and also got her hands on several hits by the Bobcats, allowing the back row to easily dig up some of Myrtle Point’s attacks. Reedsport’s defense also was solid, with Bailey LaRouche, Alyssa Aguirre, Kaylynn Hixenbaugh and Analco combining for 49 digs. Hixenbaugh finished with 36 assists. Myrtle Point, meanwhile, was led by Hermann, who had 22 kills and 14 digs. Seals added 12 kills and four stuff blocks, while Leslie had nine kills and 14 digs. Newton dished out 37 assists, while recording 11 digs and three stuff blocks. Miller had 19 digs, while Evans added 12 digs and Robbins had seven digs and two aces. Myrtle Point has enjoyed a varied offense all year, including back-row attacks by Leslie and Hermann when they are at that point in the rotation, and firepower around the rotation. “Everybody on our team can do everything,” Seals said. While Myrtle Point’s players have grown accustomed to easy wins since the league season started, Thursday’s match could prove valuable down the road. “I think it’s really good competition for us,” Seals said. “We really need competition for when we make it farther,” Leslie added. “We need that rush in our hearts.” Meanwhile, the Bobcats were able to celebrate their win over the Braves, their nemesis the past few years. “I’m so proud of my teammates,” Leslie said. “It feels awesome.” Myrtle Point’s last loss came exactly a month before Thursday’s mach, in a contest at Class 4A Marshfield. Because they prevailed against the Braves, the Bobcats were able to celebrate an elusive league title. “It’s good for the girls,” Myrtle Point coach Tami Brown said. And in a long coaching tenure that includes stints in both Bandon and Myrtle Point, it’s a first league title for Brown as well. “To win a league is kind of exciting,” Brown said. “I’m super excited for the girls.” While Myrtle Point’s spot in the state playoffs is guaranteed, Reedsport has work to do, starting with Tuesday’s regular-season finale against Bandon. With a win over the Tigers, the Braves would wrap up second place and have an easier path in the league playoffs. Bandon, on the other hand, could tie the Braves for second with a victory, forcing a tiebreaker game before the league playoffs in Myrtle Point. The Braves are hoping for a return to the state tournament, but keeping their focus on next week. “We’re just going to look at the next game right now,” Kaylynn Hixenbaugh said. “We’re not looking too far ahead. Both Reedsport and Myrtle Point also are part of the Marshfield Invitational today, along with the host North Bend, Pirates, Coquille, Bandon and Siuslaw.

Sports Morgan suffers injury as Americans beat Guatemala Star suffers ankle injury during World Cup qualifier match ■

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (AP) — Alex Morgan reinjured her left ankle, just four months after returning to action following a long layoff. The American star forward got hurt in the 37th minute of Friday night’s 5-0 win over Guatemala in the CONCACAF Women’s Championship. Morgan was to have a scan to

determine the extent of the injury. “She’s pretty optimistic, which is a good sign,” coach Jill Ellis said. “She’s a tremendous player. It would be a loss if we didn’t have her.” Morgan, who has 49 goals in 77 international appearances, first hurt the ankle during training late last October, then played against Brazil on Nov. 10. She was sidelined until returning to action on June 7 with her club, the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League. She reinjured the ankle in a collision with Guatemala defender

Londy Barrios. Morgan tried to put weight on the ankle on the sidelines but then was replaced by Christen Press in the 42nd minute. Tobin Heath scored twice, and Carli Lloyd, Whitney Engen and Megan Rapinoe had one goal each as the U.S. improved to 2-0 in the group stage of tournament, which serves as qualifying for next year’s World Cup. Goalkeeper Hope Solo got her 75th shutout and didn’t need to make a single save as the Americans outshot Guatemala 21-0. The U.S. had started the tourna-

ment with an unimpressive 1-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago. “Things opened up, and we converted our chances this time,” Rapinoe said. Heath scored the first goal from 4 yards with a sliding right-footed shot in the seventh minute off short a pass from Sydney Leroux, beating goalkeeper Alicia Navas. “The first half, we were waiting to see if the ball fell in place rather than going after it,” Lloyd said. Lloyd doubled the lead in the 46th off an assist from Leroux, and Heath made it 3-0 in the 57. Engen

scored in the 58th and Rapinoe in the 66th. Seeking its third World Cup title but first since 1999, the U.S. leads Group A with six points, followed by Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago (both 1-1) with three each. Guatemala (0-2) is last. The top two teams in each of two groups advance to the semifinals Oct. 24 in Chester, Pennsylvania. The top three teams qualify for the World Cup in Canada, and the loser of the third-place game meets a South American nation in a playoff for another berth.

Lakers get split in tournament BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — The Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team is holding the Oregon Southwestern Crossover Tournament for fellow Northwest Athletic Conference teams this weekend and the host Lakers stood their ground, splitting their doubleheader Friday. The Lakers (1-4 in league, 12-8 overall) swept Yakima Valley 25-19, 25-20, 25-18 in the first match and then fell in five games to Treasure Valley 25-11, 20-25, 23-25, 25-21, 9-15. The crossover tournament is meant to serve as a midseason barometer for the teams involved, with a bunch of NWAC teams coming to Prosper Hall in games that do count towards overall record, just not league standings. The extra games serve to familiarize SWOCC with some of the other NWAC teams the Lakers haven’t

played, so if the they see them again in the postseason, SWOCC will know a little bit more about them. “We’re going to start all over again after this, play teams we’ve played before and hopefully come back stronger than we did,” sophomore Kayley Thorsen said. Head coach Stephanie Willett said SWOCC has been hosting the crossover tournament since she was a Laker player herself in 2004, a tradition she took over from her former coach and predecessor John Speasl. “We’ve just been lucky enough to have it here,” Willett said, adding that the Lakers did miss hosting last season. “You get to play everybody, you get to see who’s doing well and you get to change things up if you need to. Usually we put out our regular lineup and get a couple extra girls in. Today, we got everybody in and everybody contributed.” In the win over Yakima Valley, SWOCC setter

Christine Wing had 36 assists, Tori Foutz had three solo blocks and Alyssa Sprague notched 16 digs Marshfield graduate Brea Mosieur had eight kills and nine digs. North Bend graduate McKenna Reasor had four aces and two digs Thorsen, who is still transitioning to the outside from being a middle blocker last year, was the Lakers’ only hitter without an error and held a 9-0 kill-error ratio in the match. Reedsport graduate Gabby White, who Willett says “normally does well for us,” had seven kills but sat the third game out as Willett got other Lakers into the action. “It’s a gauge of how we’ve improved and the level that we’re playing at,” White said of the tournament, adding an observation. “When we cut down our errors, we look really good.” In the second match, Wing had a stacked line, racking up 43 assists, two aces, three kills and 10 digs. Hayley

Sturgeon added 11 kills, one solo block and four assist blocks. Brandi Wilson tallied 18 digs and one ace. Mosieur aided the Laker effort with 11 kills and six digs. SWOCC has its annual DigPink awareness-initiative today, where the Lakers wear pink for breast cancer throughout all three of their matches. The Lakers kicks off play today at 9 a.m. against Whatcom. SWOCC will resume league play next week Friday and Saturday against Clackamas (South region leader) and Mount Hood, respectively. “Hopefully this is a good restart to our season,” Thorsen said. “We have our eye on the prize and want to win.” In other Crossover play, Clark defeated Treasure Valley 25-17, 25-19, 25-14 as well as taking out Centralia 25-11, 2125, 25-7, 25-10. Whatcom also went 2-0 on Friday, beating Centralia 25-21, 24-25, 26-24, 25-15 and Yakima Valley 25-19, 26-24, 25-16, 17-25.

Timbers playoff hopes take a huge hit PORTLAND (AP) — Facing a team with a lot more on the line, Nick Rimando may have just decided the Western Conference playoff picture. Rimando had seven saves for his sixth shutout of the season to lead Real Salt Lake in a 0-0 draw with the Portland Timbers on Friday night. Portland’s Donovan Ricketts made three saves to also get his sixth shutout. Salt Lake (14-8-11) moved two points ahead of FC Dallas for third place in the Western Conference. The fourth place team will face a play-in game with the fifth place team to start the playoffs. “It was definitely a playoff atmosphere,” Real Salt Lake coach Jeff Cassar said. “We’re preparing for the playoffs. We went to a very difficult place to play and played extremely well.” The Timbers (11-9-13) pulled into a tie with Vancouver for that fifth and final playoff spot in the West, but that may prove to be short-lived. Portland has one game remaining, away at Sporting Kansas City, while the Whitecaps have two, both against teams already eliminated from playoff contention. Vancouver travels to

Gold Beach improved to 3-0 in league play and 7-0 on the year. Next up is Toledo, which beat Bandon 40-24 to also stay unbeaten and, like the Panthers, has wins over both Reedsport and Myrtle Point. “Next week is a big week for us,” Storns said of the contest at Toledo. “It’s our league championship game.” Toledo 40, Bandon 24: The Boomers kept their record perfect by pulling away from the Tigers over the final three quarters. The teams were tied at 6all after the first, but Toledo scored twice in the second quarter — the last one 30 seconds before halftime — to build a lead. The T igers had some highlights, including quarterback Quentin Coomer, who completed 18 of 36 passes with no interceptions for 417 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a score. Trae Dyer had eight catches for 257 yards, including touchdowns of 94 and 49 yards. Jacot Taylor caught the other touchdown. “It was a pretty good game,” Bandon coach Silia Polamalu said. “We couldn’t slow their running game down in the second half, just like Reedsport and just like Myrtle Point. “They were physical and we just couldn’t get 44 on the ground,” he said, referring to Toledo back Kyle Otis. The loss put Bandon into a must-win situation at Reedsport next week to keep its playoff hopes alive. 49, Reedsport Waldport 17: The Braves overcame awful weather conditions and five lost fumbles to pick up the road win. Joey Herr had five rushing touchdowns for Reedsport, which ran the ball for 300 yards as a team and did not complete a pass. “It was ugly weather,” Reedsport coach Shane Nelson said. Reedsport scored four touchdowns in the first quarter and led 26-0 at halftime, despite the miscues. “We couldn’t hold onto the ball,” Nelson said. The benefit of the onesided score is that the Reedsport coach was able to

Portland Timbers defender Norberto Paparatto (23) and Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio (15) go up for a ball as Timbers midfielder Ben Zemanski (14) and Real Salt Lake midfielder Kyle Beckerman watch during the second half at Providence Park on Friday. The game ended in a scoreless tie. San Jose on Saturday night, before closing its regular season at home against Colorado. “I can’t fault our guys for anything. I thought they played their hearts out and I’m proud of their effort. We went toe to toe with one of the best teams in the league,” Portland coach Caleb Porter said. “It would have been much better to get three points, but it does make that last game relevant.” Playing in driving rain for most of the match, the first half was pretty even, with Real Salt Lake having the best opportunity. Ricketts made a fine save in the 39th minute,

getting down quickly to push away a header by Robbie Findley. Spurred on by a 68thconsecutive sellout of 20,814 fans, Portland took it to Real Salt Lake in the second half. Despite the visitors having a slight advantage in time of possession, the Timbers took 18 shots at goal, getting five on target. Unfortunately for the home team, Rimando made a number of highlight saves. In the 61st minute, Rimando stopped a shot by Diego Valeri and dove to block the rebound attempt by Darlington Nagbe. Fifteen minutes later, Rimando made

a diving save on a header by Noberto Paparatto. Rimando was also helped by his defense, when Luis Gil cleared another Paparatto header on the goal line. “He came up big for them and that’s probably the difference on the day,” Porter said. “It’s not easy, in the rain, and on the turf. There’s going to be some bad hops. There’s going to be some things that don’t go your way. But we stuck together and dealt with it,” Cassar said. “We were under the gun there for a little bit, but I was extremely proud of the way our guys played.”

Rangers hire Jeff Banister as new manager ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jeff Banister is a baseball lifer who calls Texas home. He grew up there and played his entire amateur career there before getting drafted. Now the former catcher who got a pinch-hit single in his only major league at-bat, who was temporarily paralyzed from the neck down after a home-plate collision in junior college and who over-

came bone cancer with multiple surgeries in high school is a big-league manager in the Lone Star State. Banister was introduced Friday as the new manager of the Texas Rangers after 29 years in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization as a player, coach and instructor at all levels. “The best opportunities to come along are the ones you’re not looking

for,” Banister said. “Have I prepared myself for this opportunity? Yeah, from the day that I stopped playing until now, I’ve truly dreamed and wanted to and tried to. I got to a point in my life that I told myself that I wasn’t going to chase it. If it happened, it happened.” The 50-year-old Banister, who lives near Houston, was the bench coach the past four seasons for the Pirates.

Marshfield scored twice in the third quarter to give itself a two-score, nine-point lead, but South Umpqua was resilient. Running back Kyler Merritt shredded the Marshfield defense in the second half, rifling off big run after big run. With 61⁄2 minutes remaining in the game, Merritt punched in a 1-yard touchdown to close the lead to 2120. The Lancers held the Pirates and got the ball back with just over 3 minutes left. On an Erik Johnson pass, Ben Martin jumped the Lancer route for an interception to give possession back to the Pirates. A few plays later, Marshfield was in victory formation, kneeling on its fifth straight win. “We were kind of reeling,” Marshfield coach Josh Line said, adding it was the best defensive game he’s seen his team play all year. “He stepped in front of a ball and made a hell of a play.” The win guaranteed Marshfield a home game in the postseason, either as league champion in the playoffs or league runner-up in the play-in round. Meanwhile, down the coast North Bend cruised against the vastly outmatched Bruins. The Bulldogs defense got four interceptions, one each from Roger Iparraguirre, Trey Woods, Marshall Rice and Michael Hannah (Woods’ was returned for a 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter). Three of the four ball hawks also scored at receiver.

Powers 54, Glendale 8: The Cruisers exploded for 40 points in the first quarter as they clinched a spot in the Skyline League playoffs. Powers is guaranteed a top-three finish in the league’s West Division, though the specific spot comes down to next week’s game at league-leading Camas Valley. The league playoffs are the following week. If the Cruisers lose, they will be on the road against one of the teams in the cluttered East Division, which has Chiloquin, Hosanna Christian and Prospect all at 3-1 and Triad at 2-2 heading into the final week of the regular season. Friday’s game against Glendale was one-sided from the start. Jackson Stallard ran for two touchdowns and completed a touchdown pass to Devin MacKensen. That was one of three scores for MacKensen, who also found the end zone on a run and a kickoff return after Glendale’s touchdown. Sean Martinez and Sean Bartlett also had touchdowns for the Cruisers, while Aaron Pedrick, Tye Jackson and Austin Stallard were involved in extra-point scores. The Cruisers outgained the Pirates 378 yards to 76. Jackson Stallard went 8-for9 passing for 175 yards and also ran for 116 yards on just six carries.

Far West League Siuslaw 41, Douglas 12: The Vikings got their first league win at the expense of the Trojans. Siuslaw, which finishes against Brookings-Harbor, still can reach the Class 4A play-in round as an at-large team if its power ranking is high enough following next week’s game.

VOLLEYBALL Warriors top Cruisers: New Hope beat Powers 25-12, 25-21, 25-16 as the two teams wrapped up the regular season. Powers will be in the Skyline League playoffs Thursday at Days Creek. The Cruisers, who finished third in the South Division, will need to win two matches to advance to the final league tournament, first beating Yoncalla, then toping the host Wolves, the Class 2A state champions last year.

Booster meeting In advance of Friday’s big Civil War game, the Marshfield and North Bend booster clubs will hold a joint meeting Wednesday. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. in Marshfield’s Heritage Hall, the new room in the Pirate Palace. The coaches for both teams will speak about their squads during the event, which is open to the public.

To kick off the scoring, Rice caught a 36-yard touchdown from Cam Lucero on the Bulldogs’ first offensive drive. Iparraguirre also found the end zone with a 9-yard touchdown catch from Lucero. Mahr too got in the end zone, catching a 25-yard touchdown pass from Lucero on fourthand-24. Woods got the final North Bend score of the night, a 48-yard pass from backup quarterback Levi Rider. Brookings-Harbor’s only score came after a snap sailed over punter Rider’s head and the Bruins’ Alec Darger was quickly able to punch-in a 1yard touchdown on the second-to-last play of the game. Lucero finished with four touchdown passes and an 11yard run to the end zone in the third quarter. Drew Matthews caught the other Lucero touchdown, a 28-yard pass in the second quarter. North Bend is the reigning Far West League champion after the Bulldogs stomped through the conference undefeated in 2013. This is Marshfield’s second year in the Far West and Class 4A. The Pirates finished 2-4 in league last season. Coming into next Friday’s showdown, North Bend has won every Civil War since 2009. Prior to that, Marshfield had won the previous 20. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this,” Matthews said.

Seahawks trade Harvin to Jets for draft pick

Will this be the Dawgs year? The Associated Press

BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

EUGENE — Chris Petersen found success against Oregon while he was coach at Boise State. So it follows that there would be talk about whether he could do the same with his new team, Washington. After all, the Huskies haven’t been able to beat the rival Ducks in their last 10 meetings, so fans are getting understandably antsy. Under Petersen, the Broncos beat Oregon twice, first in Eugene in 2008 and then in Boise to open the 2009 season. The second loss was memorable for the Ducks because it was Chip Kelly’s debut as head coach. But Petersen, who also was an assistant at Oregon from 1995-2000, said this week he doesn’t really remember what the Broncos’ defense did to slow Kelly’s high-speed spread option. “It was a long time ago. I just know the kids played hard. Two good teams going at it,” he said. “I don’t remember the details other than guys played really, really hard and effective.” Needless to say, Petersen’s not pulling out the tape of Boise State’s victory to prepare for Saturday evening, when the Huskies (5-1, 1-1 Pac-12) visit the No. 9 Ducks (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12). “We’re talking about an elite program in the country, not only in our conference,” Petersen said about the Ducks. “And so to me, you know what Oregon’s going to do. So this all comes back to us. How are we going to play?” The Huskies are coming off a 31-7 rout of California last Saturday in Berkeley. Cyler Miles threw for 273 yards and three touchdowns, and Shaq Thompson returned a fumble 100 yards for a score. Oregon’s last outing was a 42-30 rebound victory over the UCLA Bruins, which popped the Ducks back into the top 10 after their loss to Arizona the previous week. True freshman Royce Freeman became Oregon’s first 100plus yard rusher of the season with 121 yards and two touchdowns. Remembering The Pick: This year marks the 20th anniversary of Kenny Wheaton’s legendary interception against Washington that many say was the impetus for Oregon’s rise to national prominence. To this day, “The Pick” is played before every home game. On Saturday, the Ducks will wear bright green throwback jerseys, and fans can buy their own No. 20 jersey for $150. Defensive Dawgs: Washington linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha leads the nation with 10 sacks.

Utah running back Devontae Booker runs for yardage against Oregon State on Thursday night. Booker ran for 229 yards and three touchdowns in Utah’s 29-23 double-overtime victory.

Utah tops Beavers in 2OT CORVALLIS (AP) — Utah running back Devontae Booker said he hadn’t had “video-game stats” like this since high school. Booker ran for 229 yards and three touchdowns, including a 19-yard dash in the second overtime that gave No. 20 Utah a 29-23 victory over Oregon State on Thursday night. “It was pretty much myself just running hard,” Booker said after compiling the fifthbest rushing total in Utes history. “They gave me the ball, I just took it and ran with it. Got in the end zone, scored, end of game.” Booker also ran for a 15yard score in the first overtime to put Utah (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) in front 23-16. The Beavers (4-2, 1-2) answered with Sean Mannion’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Villamin on fourth down to force another period. Trevor Romaine, whose 49-yard field goal as time expired in regulation tied the game at 16, attempted a 37yard field goal that went wide right, giving the ball back to Utah for the game-winning drive. It was Booker’s third straight game with more than 150 yards rushing for the Utes, off to their best start since winning their first eight games in 2010. Utah has won all four of its road games this season. Mannion threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to Villamin early in the fourth quarter to

put Oregon State in front 139. But the Utes mounted a comeback and Booker ran 53 yards to the Oregon State 6. On fourth down, he plunged into the end zone with 4:20 left for a 16-13 lead. Romaine’s 49-yard kick sent the game to overtime. Mannion threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns. He surpassed former USC quarterback Carson Palmer (11,818 yards) for second on the Pac-12’s career list for yards passing with 12,014. He trails only former Trojan Matt Barkley, who had 12,327 “Just disappointment, really,” Mannion said. “I think it’s going to hurt now, but when we go home or when we’re all sitting around tomorrow, we’re going to feel pretty proud of the way we fought.” Kendal Thompson started at quarterback for Utah, ending more than a week of speculation about who coach Kyle Whittingham would go with in Corvallis. The depth chart going into the game listed Travis Wilson “or” Thompson, a transfer from Oklahoma. Wilson started the second half. The 6-foot-7 Wilson had started all five previous games for Utah, throwing for 788 yards and seven touchdowns. But he lasted just three series in Utah’s last game, a 30-28 victory over UCLA, before he was replaced by Thompson. Thompson, more of a dual

threat than Wilson, completed four of eight passes for 17 yards in the first half. He also ran for 20 yards. Wilson finished 5 of 10 for 45 yards as the Utes turned to Booker. “The fight in me kept making me run harder,” Booker said. “I knew the (Oregon State) defense was getting worn down throughout the game. The harder I ran, the more softened up they were getting.” Andy Phillips hit field goals from 38 and 43 yards to give Utah a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. The Beavers narrowed it with Romaine’s 37-yard field goal early in the second quarter. Oregon State tied it as time ran out in the half with Romaine’s 45-yarder. Romaine missed his first attempt, but Utah had called a timeout, and he made the second. Oregon State was hurt late in the first half when running back Storm Woods injured his right knee following a 13-yard run. He did not return. Woods, who went into the game as the team’s secondleading rusher, just a yard behind Terron Ward, ran for 46 yards on 13 carries before he got hurt. The Beavers sustained another blow in the second half when they lost receiver Richard Mullaney to a left elbow injury. After the game, coach Mike Riley hinted that Mullaney’s injury might keep him out the rest of the season.

Winston complies with hearing deadline TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Jameis Winston has complied with the first deadline in Florida State’s code of conduct hearing process, the adviser for the quarterback’s family said Friday. Lawyer David Cornwell said in a statement that Winston will cooperate with the procedure but will not “waive our right to challenge any aspect of this process.” Winston is facing a hearing to determine whether four sections of the code of conduct have been violated — two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment. A former female student said he sexually assaulted her in December 2012. Winston was required to strike one of three former Florida Supreme Court Justices from a list that will produce the hearing official. He also had to give possible dates for an information session that will precede the formal hearing. Cornwell requested more information from the woman, including the record from the code of conduct hearing involving football players Chris Casher and Ronald Darby and “all of her prior statements regarding her sexual relationship with Mr. Winston, access to her social media accounts from 2012/2013,and her phone

and text message records the night of and the days following the alleged incident.” The woman’s lawyer, John Clune, said Cornwell wants to turn this into “media circus.” “We would think his client has had enough of that lately,” Clune said in an email. “Both sides will get the same information from the school,both will be able to testify,and the judge will decide. We are not going to allow a whole new disciplinary process just for Jameis Winston.” Both parties can view all materials related to the case at the information session and get details about the process and their rights. Winston was not arrested in relation to the sexual assault allegations, and Florida State attorney Willie Meggs declined to file charges against Winston last December, citing a lack of evidence. The Associated Press does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual abuse. It remains unclear when the formal hearing will take place. The sides must present possible dates for the hearing at the information session, and the university then can set a date. But once a date is specified, either side could request postponements for reasons that would have to be individually reviewed.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have acquired wide receiver Percy Harvin from the Seattle Seahawks. Two people familiar with the trade told The Associated Press on Friday that Harvin, a star in last season’s Super Bowl but injury prone through his career, was headed to the Jets. The people spoke anonymously because the deal wasn’t officially announced by either club. The 26-year-old Harvin has played in 60 games with only 47 career starts since being a first-round pick (22nd overall) by Minnesota in 2009. He was traded to the Seahawks in 2013, appearing in just one regular-season game because of hip surgery. But he had two rushes for 45 yards and ran back the second-half kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown in Seattle’s 438 win over Denver in the Super Bowl. New York gave up a conditional draft pick. The deal was first reported by Fox Sports. Harvin has battled a thigh injury and was listed as questionable for the Seahawks’ game at St. Louis this weekend. The Seahawks have tried to find a variety of ways to use him in their offense as a runner, receiver and on special teams, but injury woes slowed their plans. This season, Harvin has 22 receptions for 133 yards, with 12 of those catches coming behind the line of scrimmage. He has only one catch on a ball thrown more than 10 yards, according to STATS. Harvin’s average of 6 yards per catch is last among all wide receivers in the NFL averaging at least two receptions per game.

Seahawks down 4 starters RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks will be without four key starters Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. The Seahawks officially ruled out tight end Zach Miller, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, center Max Unger and cornerback Byron Maxwell on Friday. In addition, reserve defensive linemen Cassius Marsh and Jordan Hill also have been ruled out. Marsh broke a bone on the outside of his foot during practice Wednesday. Coach Pete Carroll said it was a noncontact injury suffered while coming off the snap. The injury is expected to require surgery with a recovery time expected to be at least six weeks. T ight end Luke Willson is questionable because of a groin injury also suffered in practice. He also has 11 runs for 92 yards and a touchdown, and 12 kickoff returns for 283 yards. New York’s offense has struggled and the Jets have lost six straight since opening with a win over Oakland. Harvin figures to team with Eric Decker and Jeremy Kerley as the Jets’ main weapons in a so-far weak passing game with Geno Smith at quarterback.

Patriots top Jets on blocked FG FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — After New England held off the struggling New York Jets, usually reserved Patriots coach Bill Belichick praised two of his players who have dealt with some tough times. Chris Jones blocked Nick Folk’s 58-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the Patriots’ 27-25 win over the Jets on Thursday night. This time, the defensive tackle didn’t commit a penalty as he did last season on Folk’s failed 56-yard try in overtime that gave the kicker another chance — a 42yarder that gave the Jets a 3027 win. “It was so fitting that he made that play” Thursday, Belichick said. “That was awesome.” Danny Amendola hasn’t lived up to the $28.5 million, five-year contract he signed before last season but caught a 19-yard touchdown pass — just his fifth reception this season — that gave the Patriots a 27-19 lead. “Nobody works harder than Danny,” Belichick said. “He’s a really competitive

kid, tough.” That the outcome wasn’t decided until the final play was a surprise. The Jets hadn’t won since their opener and Geno Smith was last in passer rating in the NFL. But he completed 20 of 34 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. “We can take a lot of positives from this,” New York wide receiver Eric Decker said, “but at this point we need a win, period.” The Jets (1-6) dropped their sixth straight game, the longest losing streak in Rex Ryan’s six years as coach. “We’re not going to sit here and sulk about losing the games because that’s going to make things worse,” Smith said. The Patriots (5-2) have a 1 1/2-game lead in the AFC East over Buffalo. “We started off the year 01 so 5-1 since is not bad,” said Tom Brady, who threw three touchdown passes and has nine with no interceptions in his last three games. “Hopefully, we can be a lot better.”

Clowney back at practice, Up-tempo era redefining which stats matter hopes to play Monday BY STEVE MEGARGEE The Associated Press

The numbers keep going higher and higher. When Baylor’s Bryce Petty threw for 510 yards last week to rally the Bears to a 61-58 victory over TCU, it marked the 12th time this season a quarterback has passed for at least 500 yards. That represents the most 500-yard passing performances in one season since at least 1996, the earliest year STATS has on record for that particular statistic. Nine different quarterbacks have produced those dozen 500-yard efforts. Petty’s big night came one week after Washington State’s Connor Halliday threw for a Bowl Subdivision-record 734 yards in a 60-59 loss to California and four weeks after

Bowling Green attempted 113 offensive plays - two shy of the FBS record - in a 45-42 victory over Indiana. For some coaches, all these staggering numbers are redefining which stats matter and which aren’t as relevant anymore. “We don’t even worry about yards,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. “I don’t think total yards really matter that much anymore with these fast-paced nohuddle offenses. In our offense, we’re concerned with snaps. We’d like to have 90plus snaps — definitely want to have 85-plus — and we want to score points. That’s it. That’s our whole deal.” This new era also has changed what scores are acceptable for a defense nowadays. For instance,

Southern California ran 95 offensive plays in a 38-34 loss to Arizona State on Oct. 4. Graham didn’t mind allowing 34 points under those circumstances, particularly since one of USC’s touchdowns came on a punt return. “If they run 85 snaps and you hold them to 35 points, you probably played pretty well,” Graham said. “That’s a lot of snaps and a lot of opportunities. That’s what we’re shooting for. We’re trying to extend and create a fifth quarter. That’s what you’re seeing, is a fifth quarter being created by all these teams.” Baylor’s rally from a 21point, fourth-quarter deficit against TCU marked the fifth time this season a team had won a game after trailing by at least 20 points. There have been 33 comebacks of that

magnitude since the start of the 2011 season, according to STATS. There were only 25 during the four-year stretch from 2007-10. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, whose team rallied from 22 points down in a 49-45 victory over California, said the quality of the skill players has improved. “Quarterbacks and receivers are coming out of high school so much more prepared in the passing game than ever before,” he said. “A lot of it is because so many high school programs are doing such a great job of that and kids are playing 7-on-7 in the summer so they have a little bit of a concept of throwing the ball and catching the ball moreso coming into college than they’ve ever had.”

HOUSTON (AP) — No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney returned to practice on Friday and hopes to play on Monday night when Houston visits Pittsburgh. Clowney practiced Friday in a limited capacity for the first time since the defensive end had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. “I’ve always been looking forward to making plays for my team and helping us win,” Clowney said. “I hope I can play, but we’ll see.” Coach Bill O’Brien said they’ll decide before the game on Monday if he can play, and while hopeful that he can go, Clowney said he wouldn’t be surprised if he can’t. The 6foot-6, 274-pound Clowney said he remains limited despite being almost six weeks removed from the surgery.

“Right now it’s up to me what I can do,” he said. “I’m out there really testing my leg out, just seeing what I can really do and what I can’t do. So if I can do it, I’ll do it. If I can’t I’ll just let the coaches know: ‘that’s bothering me,’ and they’ll just take me out of that drill.” O’Brien said he’ll consult with Clowney and the team trainer before making a final decision. If he does play, he’ll likely be used sparingly to ease him back into things. “At the end of the day,that’s the most important thing. What’s the best thing for the player,” O’Brien said. “He’s worked hard to get back to this point. Good to see him out there (Friday). I’m sure he’ll go out there and work (Sunday) ... and Monday he’ll tell us what he’s going to do.”

Baseball/Auto Racing Kenseth regrets nothing in scuffle with Keselowski

Four umps get 1st Series NEW YORK (AP) — Boosted by their strong results on replay challenges this season, several umpires will get to work the World Series for the first time. The seven-man crew includes a rare four newcomers, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press this week. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Major League Baseball hadn’t made an announcement yet. Hunter Wendelstedt, Eric Cooper, Jim Reynolds and Jerry Meals are heading to their first World Series. Wendelstedt had only two of his calls overturned this year under baseball’s expanded replay system. Cooper had just three decisions reversed and Reynolds had seven. “An umpire’s entire body of work is evaluated when assigning postseason series, and we always strive to have the most deserving umpires working postseason games,” MLB spokesman Michael Teevan said. “This year,” he added, “instant replay also became another facet of performance.” Jeff Kellogg will be the crew chief and call his fifth World Series when Kansas City hosts San Francisco in Game 1 on Tuesday night. Ted Barrett and Jeff Nelson will work the Fall Classic for the third time. Nearly 20 umpires had at least 10 calls changed this year. Barrett had 12 and Meals 10, while Kellogg had five. Overall, there were 1,275 reviews in the majors this season and 47 percent of the calls were reversed. Several factors determine which umpires get picked for the playoffs and World Series by MLB. Ball-strike ratings on plate jobs, skill at handling situations on the field, experience and time missed during the season are all considered. MLB tries to include at least one first-time umpire on the World Series crew every year. Starting in 1998, the lone exception was 2009 — stung by a spate of missed calls earlier in that postseason, MLB chose an all-veteran crew. In the previous 35 World Series, only twice has the crew included four firsttimers, most recently in 1996. Under a new plan this year, seven umpires handle all best-of-seven postseason matchups. One umpire works the first two games on the field, then changes places with an umpire in the New York replay booth for the rest of the series.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Daniel Descalso, left, and San Francisco Giants' Travis Ishikawa watch Ishikawa's game-winning home run in the ninth inning of Game 5 of the NL Championship Series on Thursday.

Ishikawa’s 3-run HR sends Giants to World Series SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After three years away with four different teams, Travis Ishikawa landed himself a second chance with San Francisco right where he so wanted to be. And with one sweet swing, he sent the Giants back to the World Series. It was the Shot That Shook the Bay. For all the questions about San Francisco’s failures to clear the fences and weird ways they’re winning during their latest special October, the Giants got back to the World Series with the home run. A trio of longballs, in fact. Ishikawa made good on the big stage only a few months removed from the minors, hitting the first homer to end an NL Championship Series on a three-run drive that lifted San Francisco to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 on Thursday night. “It’s gratifying,” Ishikawa said. “If there’s an organization I’d want to do it for, it would be this one.” These every-other-year Giants will face the Royals in an all wild-card World Series that begins Tuesday night in Kansas City. A journeyman who began the season with Pittsburgh, Ishikawa connected for the first game-ending home run that sent the Giants into the World Series since perhaps the most famous drive in baseball history — Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” in a 1951 playoff. A role player during the

Giants’ World Series win in 2010, Ishikawa was with Milwaukee in 2012 when San Francisco won another championship. “His story, his journey through the big leagues and coming back to us and getting a hit like that is just unbelievable,” shortstop Brandon Crawford said. Pablo Sandoval singled to start the ninth inning against Michael Wacha, making his first appearance of the postseason for the Cardinals. After an out, Brandon Belt walked to bring up Ishikawa,who drove a 2-0 pitch into the elevated seats in right field to set off an orange towel-waving frenzied celebration. “These guys have been through it,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “They have been battle-tested and they know how to handle themselves on this type of stage, and then add to that the kids that we brought up, and then Ishikawa. “I mean,what a great story,” Bochy said. Ishikawa knew right away on his first career postseason homer, raising his right arm into the air as he watched his ball sail into the seats. He emphatically threw his helmet down to the dirt in triumph and joined his jubilant teammates at home plate as fireworks shot off from the center field scoreboard. Pinch-hitter Michael Morse homered leading off the eighth against Pat Neshek, replaced Adam who

Wainwright to start the inning, to tie it 3-all. Morse — relegated to a reserve role because of a lengthy oblique injury — was batting for Madison Bumgarner, crowned NLCS MVP. “It’s unbelievable,” Morse said. “This team has been on the same page since the beginning.” After taking a 3-1 lead in the series on wild throws the past two days, the Giants used the long ball to advance to their third Series in five years by knocking out the defending NL champions. Rookie Joe Panik hit a tworun drive in the third inning off Wainwright for the Giants’ first homer in seven games. “Just a gutty effort through all this and I couldn’t be prouder of these guys. They just don’t stop fighting,” Bochy said. Ishikawa was the Pirates’ opening-day first baseman, but was soon cut. He resigned with the Giants, his original team, on a minor league deal and went to Triple-A before making it back. He moved from his natural first base spot to play left field for the injured Morse. “He signed a minor league contract, he more or less picked us,” general manager Brian Sabean said. “I’m not surprised he hit a home run, I’m not. I’m surprised he’s our starting left fielder. That’s amazing to me. That’s the kind of commitment he had to wanting to get on the field.”

It’s an all-wild card World Series BY BEN WALKER The Associated Press Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain and the go-go-go Kansas City Royals played perfect ball to zip through the playoffs. Plus, they recently flattened Buster Posey and his Giants. So how come this bunch that’s rapidly become a fan favorite all across the country isn’t the favorite against San Francisco in the World Series? “When I look at the Royals, I see a team on a terrific run. There was magic on their side, where everything they did went absolutely right,” said Las Vegas oddsmaker Johnny Avello, head of the sports book at the Wynn. “But I don’t get into the ‘darling’ stuff,” he said Friday. “I have to encompass everything and figure out who’s the better team, and that’s the Giants.” We’ll see what’s next in this tight, tense postseason starting Tuesday night when the seasoned Giants visit the fresh Royals at Kauffman Stadium. A pair of teams with dominant bullpens, the talent to make tremendous catches and a touch for grinding out key runs. Both of them wild-card teams, too. Of course, come this late in October, no one is really a wild card anymore. Reigning NL Championship Series MVP Madison Bumgarner, former

World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval and Giants manager Bruce Bochy are aiming for their third ring in five seasons. At 39, Tim Hudson is headed with them, going to his first World Series. A four-time All-Star with 214 wins, he left his longtime home in Atlanta and signed with the Giants last November. Hudson was swayed by an intangible that he’d seen from the other side — San Francisco’s knack for playing especially well at this time of year. “They know how to win when it matters. There’s something different whenever this team gets in the playoffs. They know what buttons to push. They know what guys need to do in certain situations. That’s all that matters,” Hudson said. “That’s why I’m playing, that’s why I’m here, that’s why I decided to come to the Giants,” he said. Already 8-0 this postseason, the Royals are back in the Series for the first time since George Brett and Bret Saberhagen helped them win it all in 1985. There were a lot of lean years in the interim. Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt, the winning pitcher in the NLCS clincher Thursday night against the Cardinals, played for Kansas City from 2002-06 — the Royals lost 100 games in three of those seasons.

“Well, I’m sure there’s a lot of excitement,” Affeldt said. “There’s a lot of people that have been fans for a long time in that area and been waiting to see this since 1985.” “When I played there, I think they thought they were overdue then, and that was, I don’t know, seven, eight years ago,” he said. “There’s going to be some energy in that stadium. And they have remodeled it ... it’s pretty impressive to see the amount of blue in these seats during those games.” Affeldt and the Giants got a close-up at these Royals in August, getting swept in a three-game series at Kansas City. Gordon homered twice in the series, outfielder Nori Aoki threw out two runners in an inning, the Royals stole seven bases in a game and they beat Bumgarner, Hudson and T im Lincecum. “It doesn’t matter what it was,” Royals manager Ned Yost said Friday. “This is a whole different ballgame now. This is the World Series. This isn’t a three-game series in August.” Yost, by the way, grew up in the Bay Area rooting for the Giants. Even though they met two months ago, there’s not a lot of history between the teams. They faced each other only twice in spring training in Arizona, and the Royals haven’t played in San Francisco since 2005.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Matt Kenseth would not change anything about his actions in a post-race scuffle with Brad Keselowski at Charlotte, where tempers flared as several drivers slipped to the edge of elimination in NASCAR’s championship race. Brad Keselowski was fined $50,000 by NASCAR for his actions Saturday night. He hit Kenseth’s car near the entrance to pit road, tried but failed to wreck Denny Hamlin after the race and ran into the back of Tony Stewart’s car. Hamlin tried to confront Keselowski, but he was restrained by his team. Kenseth, angry he was hit while his seatbelts were off, jumped Keselowski from behind but was quickly peeled off the driver. Hamlin and Kenseth were not fined, and Kenseth seemed adamant Friday that Keselowski had it coming. “I don’t regret my actions,” Kenseth said. “I’m not proud of them or happy about them, but I don’t regret them. I don’t know that I’d do anything different if the same thing would have went down again.” Kenseth and Keselowski have now tangled three times this season, and Kenseth felt “everybody has their breaking point.” He was nearly wrecked Saturday as Keselowski blocked his attempted pass for the lead at Charlotte, and admitted he swerved at Keselowski under caution with six laps remaining. Keselowski says that contact damaged his car and prevented him for racing for the win when the race resumed with two laps remaining. The contact under yellow is why he hit Kenseth after the race, though even that is up for debate. “Brad is greatly exaggerating that point,” Kenseth said. “I did indeed swerve at him ... because I was mad he put me in the wall and totally ruined my day, but if you look at his car there is absolutely no damage on it. That was just him greatly exaggerating the story.”

Keselowski did not view it the same. “He’s entitled to his opinion, as I am to mine,” Keselowski said before Friday practice. “Obviously we have a difference or what happened Saturday wouldn’t have happened. It happened. It’s unfortunate.” Keselowski did not want to reflect much on the last race because he needed to be focused on preparations for Sunday’s race at Talladega. One of the most dominant drivers this season, Keselowski is on the brink of elimination from the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. Four drivers will be cut from the 12-driver field on Sunday, and Keselowski, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and defending champion Jimmie Johnson essentially need to win at Talladega to advance. Kenseth is also in the bottom four, but in better position to race his way into the third round. “This is a huge weekend for me and our team, where we’ve got to pull out a clutch moment, and I don’t want to lose sight of that by spending a whole bunch of time on all that other garbage,” Keselowski said. Keselowski, a five-time winner this season, is on the brink of elimination after a blown tire at Kansas and then a poor finish at Charlotte, where he plummeted to a 16th-place finish over the final two laps. Hamlin, upset with how Keselowski had raced him at the end, showed his displeasure by brake-checking Keselowski after the race. That, Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe said, is what triggered Keselowski’s bad behavior. “He was very upset because he thought we had a shot to win that race and I think probably when (Hamlin) brake-checked him, that just lit the fuse,” Wolfe said. “At that point, you are frustrated and someone ticks you off and you tend to do things that maybe you look back and wish you hadn’t done.”

Harvick at ease at tense Talladega TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Guaranteed of a spot in the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs, Kevin Harvick has no reason to race hard Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. If it was up to him, he wouldn’t race at all. Four of NASCAR’s top drivers will see their title hopes come to an end at Talladega, where the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field will be cut from 12 to eight. Among those in danger of becoming a titlerace spectator are defending champion Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth — Johnson’s closest competition last season — Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. and 2012 champion Brad Keselowski. With so much on the line for others and nothing for Harvick to gain,he would really like to watch it all unfold. “I’d park it because it’ll be one hell of a race to watch,” Harvick joked about his Talladega strategy. “It’s going to be fun to watch. It’s going to be crazy, offensive racing.” Harvick’s win last Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway earned him an automatic berth into the third round of the Chase. It was a welcome relief to Harvick, who likes NASCAR’s new elimination format but complained it’s created many a sleepless night. “It makes me want to puke every week,” Harvick said. “My wife can tell you, it’s like you go home and all you do, you lay up at night and you think about, ‘OK, what do I have to do next week? OK, what do we need to do? Who do I need to talk to?’ It consumes everything that you do.”

Harvick is having one of those rare dream seasons, his first with Stewart-Haas Racing. He and crew chief Rodney Childers showed from their first time on the track together that they had fast No. 4 Chevrolets and would be a force in the championship race. But for all the laps led — Harvick’s careerbest 1,815 lead the Sprint Cup Series — and those eight poles, he had very little to show for his efforts. The win at Charlotte was just his third of the season as Harvick was plagued by mechanical problems, pit issues and plain old bad luck. Right before the Chase began, SHR gave Harvick the pit crew of team co-owner Tony Stewart — the one that won the 2011 championship — in an effort to strengthen Harvick’s chances. Harvick, who has never won a Cup title, insisted he never fretted about all the fluke things that kept him out of Victory Lane and he’s just been riding along waiting for some new karma. “We have a fast car and we can win every race,” Harvick said. “(We felt) we’ll just keep working on everything and try to get it all worked out, and hopefully, by the end of the year you have everything worked out and you can race for a championship and be in position to race for that championship at Homestead. When you have fast cars, everything else takes care of itself eventually. Bad luck can’t haunt you forever.” A large amount of credit for the success of the No. 4 team goes to Childers, who left Michael Waltrip Racing last year to be paired with Harvick at SHR.

Suns owner will give gift to fans Spurs stars, coach did not show up for preseason game ■

PHOENIX (AP) — Goran Dragic scored 20 points to help the Phoenix Suns beat the short-handed San Antonio Spurs 121-90 on Thursday night in an exhibition game. The Spurs played without five top players and coach Gregg Popovich. Popovich, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili did not make the trip to Phoenix so

they could rest after the Spurs played exhibition games in Turkey and Germany last week. Assistant coach Ettore Messina guided the Spurs from the bench. Kawhi Leonard (right eye infection), Tiago Splitter (calf strain) and Patty Mills (shoulder) also sat out San Antonio. Suns owner Robert Sarver made an announcement to the fans, apologizing to those left with 2:31 left for watching a game missing many big-name players. He told fans they could send in their ticket stubs and receive a free

gift from the team. Austin Daye led the Spurs with 17 points. All-Star guard Tony Parker played through only about half the third quarter and scored nine before departing for good. Suns guard Zoran Dragic, Goran Dragic’s brother, was not with the team while the native of Slovenia deals with an international visa issue. The Spurs (1-2) return home to play the Miami Heat in preseason action on Saturday, while the Suns (31) continue exhibition play next Tuesday against the Lakers in Los Angeles.

He was followed by Craig Mitchell (20:12) and Anthony Collins (20:18). Janet Holland of Coos Bay was the top woman, and fourth overall, in 20:58. She was followed among women by Angie Armstrong (26:22) and Delilah Kubli (30:27). The course included two loops of the Millicoma track and the trail. The event served as a fundraiser for the Pirates XC team and the Blossom Gulch Trail Restoration Project. Following the 5-kilometer race, the Coos Bay School District Lap Program held a 400-meter race for kids 8 and under and a 1-mile race for kids 12-and-under. Every runner received a small bag of Halloween candy and the top three girls and boys in the 1-mile race received a pumpkin. Trinity Barker won the 1mile race in 7:50. She was followed by Promise Preid (8:09) and Kaydence Linville (8:26). The final race was a Far West League middle school meet including North Bend, Oakland and the Marshfield teams. Jeremy Roe of Marshfield led the boys on a fast course listed at 3,000 meters in 10:35. Kaylee Delzotti of Marshfield was the girls winner in 11:56. The North Bend Bullpups won the girls title with 20 by followed points, Marshfield with 53 and Oakland with 65. Marshfield won the boys team title with 24 points, while North Bend had 31.

MHS boys earn postseason spot BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

Joseph Scolari gets around two LaPine defenders to score a two-point conversion for the Red Devils on Friday night.

By Lou Sennick, The World

COQUILLE Red Devils rush for 384 yards From Page B1 recovery of the game and the third of six turnovers forced by Coquille. Austin Layton had a late interception and James Hopper and Kyle Yost also recovered fumbles. “The turnovers get the team hyped up, “ Woody said. They also kept La Pine off the scoreboard after the opening possession. “The first drive we weren’t ready,” he said. “We decided we’ve got to get our wheels turning and we got after it.” The offense more than did its part. “We’ve got four guys who can run the ball,” Faith said.

“The defense doesn’t know where it’s coming from.” Faith finished with 115 yards on nine carries and scored the two second-half touchdowns, the latter initiating the running clock. Yates ran for 92 yards, Scolari 85 and Breitkreutz 60. “It’s nice,” Faith said. “We don’t have to stick to one player.” With younger players carrying the ball most of the fourth quarter, the team totaled 384 rushing yards. Both of Breitkreutz’s passing attempts fell incomplete. Faith said the Red Devils would keep their attention firmly on Glide this week. The Wildcats got their first league win Friday, beating Pleasant Hill 58-17. “The last three weeks our team has been working hard in practice,” he said. “We’ve gotten better each week.”

COQUILLE — Marshfield’s boys soccer team is headed to the postseason. The Pirates guaranteed a spot in the Class 4A play-in round with their 10-0 win at Coquille on Thursday, clinching third place in the Far West League. “It’s definitely a nice graduation present,” said Marshfield co-captain Logan Gates, one of 10 seniors or exchange students on the team. The Pirates are 5-4-0 heading into their final regular-season match at Douglas on Tuesday. Their four losses all came to league-leading North Bend and second-place Brookings-Harbor. After Tuesday’s match, they will await word on their play-in game,

which will come on the road with a chance for a spot in the final 16-team bracket. Just getting to that point is a big accomplishment. “All this hard work for four years — it’s great to finally get there,” said cocaptain Sergio Osorio. “It’s exciting,” added Gates. “It’s the first time in a long time.” Indeed, the last time Marshfield was in the postseason was 1998 Marshfield got three goals each from Anderson Meneses and Juan Carlos Millan-Figuero in Thursday’s win. Kevin Oduor had two goals and Osorio and Ryan Reed scored a goal each. The Pirates also celebrated their shutout, especially since they opted to match Coquille’s 10-man squad rather than play 11-on-10, which some of the

other league teams have done. “I think the boys passed the ball well today,” Marshfield coach Kevin Eastwood said. “They got lots of opportunities and they took advantage of them.” Marshfield will enter the postseason with momentum, not just from Thursday’s match, but also from Tuesday’s 3-1 loss at BrookingsHarbor, a vast improvement from the first meeting against the Bruins this fall. “It’s important,” Gates said of the strong finish. “We want to go in with high morale.” The Pirates also will enter the postseason with a strong sense of team. “I feel like we have more chemistry,” Osorio said. “I hope we build on it.” Coquille will finish its season at home Tuesday against South Umpqua.

Pirates, DevilCats play to soccer tie BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COQUILLE — Thursday’s girls soccer match between Marshfield and Coquille was a perfect example of how even the four teams on the lower end of the Far West League standings are. The Pirates and host DevilCats tied 1-1, a result that eliminated Coquille for postseason contention and put Marshfield on the brink of elimination heading into the final matches Tuesday. South Umpqua holds third place at 2-4-3 (nine points), while Douglas (2-70) and Marshfield (1-5-3) are tied for fourth with six

points. Coquille is 1-6-2. Marshfield needs to win at Douglas and have Coquille beat South Umpqua to pull into a tie for third with the Lancers. The Pirates stayed alive with a late goal Thursday. The Coquille-Myrtle Point team led most of the way Thursday after Kaitlyn Atkins, one of the team’s players from Myrtle Point, scored in the ninth minute. In the aftermath of a corner kick for Coquille, Atkins took control of the ball beyond the top of the penalty box and lofted it over the defense and into the net. The lead stood until about 15 minutes remained in the

match, when Marshfield’s Katie Whitty took a pass from teammate Diana Chavez and weaved through a few Coquille defenders before putting the ball in the right side of the net. “The comeback was awesome,” Marshfield coach Kevin Eastwood said. “It was good to see that.” Coquille coach Mark Usselman encouraged his players to keep their heads up after the match, pointing out to them how well they played, and reminding them that Marshfield beat them the first half of the league season. That was Marshfield’s only win to date, though the

Pirates have had a strong second half to the season. The Pirates also tied South Umpqua 0-0 and only gave up four goals to North Bend, which shares the lead league with Brookings-Harbor. For Coquille, it was another case of a late tie, which ultimately has shot down the DevilCats’ shot at the postseason. South Umpqua scored its equalizing game with less than 10 seconds remaining. Wins in those two matches would have put Coquille firmly in third place. Instead, the squad enters Tuesday’s finale hoping to send the seniors off on a positive note and build momentum for next season.

SCDC surveys food makers, buyers on needs Goals: Improve local access to local food and sell more of it elsewhere ■

BY GAIL ELBER The World

COOS BAY — What would you need to make your food business better? South Coast Development Council, a membership organization that describes its mission as “maintaining and improving the economic viability of the Southern

Oregon Coast,” needs people involved in growing, catching, raising, distributing or serving food on the South Coast to fill out some surveys on that subject. The surveys are part of an SCDC project funded by WealthWorks and the Rural Development Initiative. The grantors gave SCDC $20,000 to explore what local food businesses need. Cold storage facilities? Meat processing? Transportation? Assistance with marketing? If SCDC can come up with a plan the grantors like, the council could get a

$300,000 grant to implement it. Michelle Martin, SCDC’s administrative assistant, said the group is focusing on meat and seafood produced in this area. One goal is to make it easier for people to buy local meat and seafood. Right now, for example, local organic beef producers must send their cattle to Mohawk Valley Meats in Marcola, which doesn’t have distribution in this area. A second goal is to help producers market their goods out of the area. It’s researching the desirability

Coquille couple’s tax evasion trial begins EUGENE (AP) — The federal government says a Coos County couple who stopped paying taxes two decades ago owe more than $1 million. The Register-Guard reports Ronald and Dorothea Joling are on trial in Eugene on tax evasion charges. Ronald Joling’s lawyer said Wednesday his 71-year-old client has a “completely crazy way of thinking” as a result of his religious and political views. But attorney Mark Weintraub told jurors that Joling should be acquitted because he acted in good faith.

of using a South Coast brand for local projects. The branding idea came out of the Sustainable Design Assessment Team process that brought a team of planners to our area in 2010. SCDC has the following six surveys: Demand survey — For commercial buyers, institutional buyers and general consumers, this survey asks about your buying habits and what barriers you face in buying local foods. Producers survey — For farmers, ranchers and grow-

ers, how do you sell your products? Do you sell locally? What keeps you from selling more? Shared commercial kitchens/incubators survey — For those who would be able to start a food business, such as a food cart or packaged food manufacturer, what kind of shared facilitiies would be helpful? How would you market your product? Support survey — For businesses that might provide assistance to the food development project. What can you do?

Transactional survey — For food processors, aggregators and distributors, do you want to help distribute local food in the local market? What would help you do that? SCDC will accept completed surveys at any time, but it’s wrapping up its grant proposal this coming week. Martin said the council will hear by the end of October if it’s got the $300,000 grant. To obtain the surveys, email Martin at michelle@ scdcinc.org. To learn more, visit www.scdc.org or call 541-266-9753.

Sprucing up the store

His wife’s lawyer says she isn’t a criminal but follows her husband’s decisions. Prosecutors, however, say the couple own a motel and diner in Coquille, as well as other property, and knew full well what the tax law required but filed false returns and tried to hide their assets. The couple’s beliefs are in line with those of the “sovereign citizens” movement, which teaches that the current U.S. government does not have the authority to collect income taxes.

Jordan Cove CEO named THE WORLD COOS BAY — The Jordan Cove Energy Project now has a CEO. Jordan Cove’s parent company, Canada-based Veresen Inc., announced Friday that Elizabeth (Betsy) Spomer was appointed president and chief executive officer of Jordan Cove LNG LLC and executive vice president of Veresen. Spomer brings more than 30 years of experience in the energy industry, the majority of which was in the

liquefied natural gas industry, according to Veresen. Prior to joining Jordan Cove, she was senior vice president of global business development at BG Group PLC. She has also held senior leadership positions with BP and Amoco. Spomer has worked on LNG projects worldwide, including in Australia, South China, Louisiana, Trinidad and Prince Rupert. Veresen anticipates a final investment decision on Jordan Cove next year.

Seven of the clinics — in John Day, Brookings, Albany, MiltonFreewater, Sutherlin, Canyonville and La Pine — are now open, and the Coos Bay and Lebanon clinics will open before the end of the year. The additional clinics will expand access to dental health services in communities where there often are fewer providers accepting low-income patients for treatment. fortunate less “Many Oregonians will have access to dental care because of this program,” said Mike Shirtcliff, DMD, president and CEO of Advantage Dental, in a statement announcing the clinics. “Oregon communities will benefit as well from this project with the addition of family-wage jobs with benefits.” Headquartered in Central

Late bloomers BY GEORGE MCNAIR

aside from business motives, a town with fall and winter flowering plants can give residents the lift they need. This can be done with hanging baskets, or narrow road planter strips. There are numerous plants that grow from 6 to 18 inches high, flowering in the fall and winter, while choking out weeds. There are some ground covers that will provide showy flowers as Fall approaches. Germander (Teucrium chamaedrys) is a low ground cover that blooms in late summer and is drought resistant. It can take sun and will fill in a large patch if needed. It has lavender flowers. Another choice is Hypericum calycinum, or Arron’s Beard Saint John’s Wort. This one holds the record for the longest common name. (By the way, there can be more than one official accepted common name.) This plant will fill in large areas and is great for

For The World

The spring flash of landscape colors has gone by, and the summer flowers are fading. So, is there anything left? Oh, yes. Colors in the landscape are far from over, but the selection is more limited, so let’s get to searching. Plantings should include blooms for all four seasons and yes, there are some blooms to encounter during the middle of winter. We are going to look at trees, shrubs and perennials for the fall. Businesses with good road frontage should use color in the landscape year around since it causes people to notice the business. Even if there are narrow planters, choosing the correct plants is key for over all appeal. In addition, a neat appearing and creative landscape sends a message as to how the business is conducted. And,

In simpler times, container gardening was small-scale landscaping using flowering annuals. Enjoy their color for one season and go with something new the next. But shifts toward food production and mixed container planting — perennials with annuals — have changed all that, creating the need for over-wintering. “Many more people have limited or no garden space . (and) as a result are doing their food gardening in containers,” said Marianne Ophardt, an extension horticulturist with Washington State University’s Benton County office. “Cultivating small (perennial) fruit like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries is one way for these gardeners to grow their own fruit, and it’s fun.” Ignore the rules about hardiness zones if you’re trying

to over-winter perennials in pots. All bets are off when containers are exposed to dehydrating winds and seasonal freeze-dry cycles. “When we put woody or perennial plants in pots above the soil, they have lost the insulation provided by the soil and are exposed to potentially tissue-killing temperatures,” Ophardt said. “As a general rule, the least hardy parts of woody plants are the roots.” The best way to help plants survive the winter is to select the right varieties to begin with, she said. Buy the most cold-tolerant varieties you can find. “I pick the hardiest available rated with a USDA zone that is two zones colder than my zone,” Ophardt said. Some plants genetically are more perennial than others. Woody plants like shrubs, for example, usually are more cold-hardy than are softherbaceous stemmed perennials.

Many techniques have evolved to help potted plants survive the winter. Several of the most common: ■ Use bigger containers. “Larger root masses and soil volumes are less susceptible to winter injury,” said Hannah Mathers, an Ohio State University professor who specializes in commercial nursery and landscape extension. ■ Dig them into the ground. “Dig a pit and cover with poly (plastic sheeting) and straw to over-winter some smaller containers,” Mathers said. “Trapping the heat from the earth is an ideal way to over-winter plants.” ■ Group them. Less troublesome that digging can be “grouping and placing them in a protected spot on the ground, such as an alcove or corner, and mulching them with compost or straw,” Ophardt said. ■ Bring them indoors. “Anyplace cool but that will stay above freezing,” Ophardt

said.“Most often an unheated garage meets this criterion.” Potted plants should be prepared if they’re to be overwintered in unheated structures, Mathers said. “Watering should be reduced in late September and early October to help the plant acclimate,” she said. “Fertilizer should be stopped in early September to reduce lush growth and again allow for acclimation.” Over-wintering perennials gives you a running start for the next growing season, especially if you’re a fan of mixed container gardening. It supplies nearly filled containers that need only a few annuals to complete. “I myself this year did several mixed planters with small shrubs, small conifer trees and herbaceous perennials mixed with annuals,” Mathers said.“I will be over-wintering these in an unheated greenhouse. Some of the larger pots with conifers I will keep outside for winter color.”

HBO Go-ing away from cable, will stand on its own NEW YORK (AP) — Next year HBO is cutting the cord and selling its popular streaming video service HBO Go as a stand-alone product, as more Americans choose to watch the Web, not the TV. Viewers longing to see “Game of Thrones”, “True Detective” and “Veep”will no longer have to pay big bucks for cable and satellite contracts. Is this the end of pay-TV as we know it? “HBO and ESPN are the two main reasons why people have cable and satellite TV,” says Forrester analyst James McQuivey. “The whole industry has eyed them for years nervous that one day they would decide to do exactly what (HBO) said they’ll do in 2015. We don’t know until we see pricing and packaging how rapidly this will force a change in the way pay TV operators work, but it will definitely force a change.” Millions already have cancelled pay-TV subscriptions — up to 10 million U.S. households are currently broadband-only. And about 45 percent of Americans stream television shows at least once a month, according to research firm eMarketer. That number is expected to increase to 53 percent or 175 million people by 2018, it says. Video streamers aren’t falling behind on entertainment — so-called “cord-cutters” watched about 100 hours of video per month during the first half of this year, estimates the Internet research firm Sandvine. The trend accelerated as Netflix’s

Internet video service expanded into original programming and bought the rights to show popular cable network shows such as “Breaking Bad” and “American Horror Story.” Netflix’s 36 million U.S. subscribers now watch about 100 minutes of Internet video each day, calculates BTIG Research analyst Rich Greenfield, based on Netflix disclosures about its customers’ overall viewership patterns. Netflix-watching accounts for about one-third of U.S. Internet traffic in the evening, according to Sandvine. Amazon.com Inc., Yahoo Inc. and Google’s YouTube also offer Internet-only series as alternatives to pay TV. Parris Lilly, 40, a network engineer for a software company in Temecula, California, currently pays $180 a month for Verizon’s FiOS bundle of Internet access, phone and cable TV service. But that could change when the new HBO option debuts. Lilly estimates that if he goes streaming-only he could slash his monthly bill by $100. “I’ve been wanting to cut the cord for a few years now but with a wife and three small children, I’ve been hesitant due to a lack of content that the whole house could enjoy,” he said. “With the rise of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon I’ve been very close to pulling the trigger, and now with HBO offering a cable-free service the time seems right to do it.” Jasmine Chan, 26, a marketing manager in

Washington,D.C.,said she and her boyfriend already use streaming services like Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. “With this announcement, we’ll probably be canceling our cable TV service and stick with just Internet,” Chan said. HBO has about 30.4 million subscribers according to research firm SNL Kagan. HBO CEO Richard Plepler said Wednesday that the network’s move is aimed at targeting the 80 million homes in the U.S. that do not have HBO but may want access to its content — and especially those broadband-only homes. “That is a large and growing opportunity that should no longer be left untapped,” Plepler said at parent Time Warner Inc.’s investor meeting in New York. “It is time to remove all barriers to those who want HBO.” The separate access also could encourage people who currently tap into HBO Go with their parents’ cable subscription to buy their own. And it could convert some pirates to paying subscribers — Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes admitted on an earnings call last year that “Game of Thrones” is the most pirated show in the world,which he said was “better than an Emmy” for driving interest in the network. Will this lead to a wave of pay-TV cancellations? Cable and satellite providers have long been against the unbundling of TV channel packages because they wouldn’t be able to charge as much

for an a la carte menu of stations.Pepler said HBO plans to work with current partners and “explore models with new partners,” but did not give specifics. No pricing details were given, but Forrester’s McQuivey expects standalone HBO Go could cost about $15 a month. That’s more than the lowest payment option for Netflix,which starts at $9, but high enough to discourage many cable TV subscribers from cancelling their service. HBO is believed to get at least a $15 cut from the pay-TV packages that its service is bundled into. Since “The Sopranos,” HBO has been a model for premium cable networks looking to woo viewers. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has never tried to conceal that he has been trying to build an Internet version of HBO as he strives to reach his long-term goal of nearly doubling subscribers to 60 million in the U.S. The company has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to produce critically acclaimed series such as “House of Cards” and “Orange Is The New Black.” In the past few weeks, Netflix made another HBOlike move by buying the rights to four exclusive movies starring Adam Sandler and a sequel to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” In a sign of the intensifying rivalry between the two services, HBO has steadfastly refused to license streaming rights to its award-winning

Sometimes a lock is not a lock A buddy asked me recently whether he should install a sash lock in a double-hung window where there was none. He was concerned about safety. The short answer is yes, he should have a sash lock. The little devices are inexpensive and fairly easy to install, needing nothing more than four small screw holes. The only thing even a little tricky is lining up the two parts so they mesh. First, you have to make sure the upper and lower sashes are completely closed and that the center rails meet. On old windows, that likely will mean scraping the sashes free of old, built-up paint and perhaps replacing some broken sash cords. Once that’s done, I’ve always found it easier to install the lock half in the upper sash first. This is the piece with no movable parts that the working half in the lower sash catches on when the two are closed. Install the lock as close to the middle of the sash as is practical, but don’t screw into old holes. Those should

be plugged and never used again. But if the real concern is — safety HOUSE feeling as though y o u ’ r e l o c k e d inside and are keeping malefactors at bay— a sash lock is not the answer. STEVE Because BATIE a sash lock is not a “lock” at all. Its purpose is to force the two halves of a double-hung window together to prevent air from leaking through. Like weather-stripping, it’s there to improve energy efficiency. But it won’t keep a burglar from getting into the house. It’s held in place, after all, by screws little more than half an inch long. (Don’t, by the way, try to “improve” sash locks with longer screws. They’re purposely short so you don’t accidentally screw into a

WORKS

window pane, surely cracking it.)You can do a lot to make life harder for that burglar, however, with a handful of 16d nails and a free Saturday afternoon. (We’ll pretend for the moment that a window can’t be breached by any 8-yearold with a baseball. Doors and windows all can be broken through by anyone willing to make sufficient noise.) With bolt cutters or a hacksaw, cut the points off the nails to make them an inch longer than the thickness of a single window sash. That’ll be about 21⁄2 inches, but measure your own windows to be sure. You’ll need two stubby nails for each window. Grind or file the rough nail ends to create blunt tips. With a window closed and its sash lock engaged, drill a 3 ⁄16-inch hole through the top rail of the bottom sash and an inch into the bottom rail of the upper sash — BUT NO DEEPER. The hole should be centered over the side rail and about an inch down. Do this on both sides of the window.

Into the holes, slide two of your cut-off nails. They should fit snuggly but still be easy to remove, so you might need to wiggle the drill a little to ream out the holes. These nails are now your real locks, and you should install them in all your double-hung windows. PS: To leave a window open for air circulation — but still irritate the burglars — raise the bottom sash about 3 inches and drill through your original holes to create a second pair of holes in the upper sash. Slide your nails into place to “lock” the window open.

series to Netflix. Instead, HBO struck a deal with Amazon’s streaming service. Netflix’s U.S. rates currently start at $9 per month, a price that may pressure HBO to lower its profit margins if it wants to lure subscribers away or encourage customers to buy both.

Breaking away from the cable and satellite providers may also force HBO to incur additional expenses to build up its own customer service and marketing departments. Those tasks have largely been handled by the pay-TV providers that include HBO in their packages.

Will Apple Pay be the next iRevolution? CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple’s skinnier iPads and flashy big-screen iMac are sleek and stunning. But the tech giant is making a bigger strategic bet with next week’s launch of Apple Pay — the mobile pay service aimed at turning your iPhone into your wallet. The service, which goes live Monday and has hundreds of banks on board, is “hugely important” says Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett. It puts Apple in the middle of a wide range of consumer transactions, underscoring Apple’s value as a brand and giving people a powerful new reason to buy iPhones, iPads and other gadgets. Apple Pay is designed to work on the company’s newest iPhones, which contain a chip that allows payments at a special terminal in retail outlets. It also will be available on the new iPad Air 2 for online purchases only. “It’s a strategic advance not just because it may be a new revenue source, but because it injects Apple into a whole different value stream” for customers and the company’s business partners, Gillett says. Mobile pay isn’t new; rival tech companies and the banking industry have worked on such systems for years. But Apple is launching its new service at an ideal time, says Gartner tech analyst Van Baker. Consumers are increasingly worried about the security of traditional credit and debit cards and U.S. merchants are facing new mandates to switch to safer chip-based cards or other payment systems. “Consumers are going to have to learn a new way to pay,” Baker said. “That levels the playing field for new technology.” Assuming there are no system breakdowns or security flaws, Apple will get the benefit of pioneering a mobile payment system that has widespread brand recognition and acceptance from consumers, retailers and banks. That’s crucial to its success, said MasterCard Inc. executive James Anderson, but he doesn’t expect Apple will hold the market by itself. The payment processor plans to work with other digital systems as well. “We’ve done a lot of work with Google over the years and I expect we’ll continue to work with them,” Anderson said. As for the new iPad Air 2 announced at a company event Thursday, analysts praised its technical features, including faster processors, better cameras and Touch ID, which lets users unlock the device with a fingerprint. The new super-thin iPads should sell well during the upcoming holiday shopping season, even as the worldwide tablet market is showing signs of slowing growth, analysts said. But they’re not the kind of game-changing new product that has made Apple a darling of Silicon Valley and the tech industry’s most valuable company. The new 27-inch iMac desktop computer with a high-resolution Retina screen struck Bob O’Donnell of TECHnalysis Research as the most cutting-edge hardware product announced Thursday. “It’s stunning. It shows Apple is doing cool new stuff,” he said. “Unfortunately it’s not going to sell to a lot of people. Not many people are willing to pay $2,499 for a new desktop computer anymore.”

Embattled founder of Seattle megachurch resigns SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle megachurch founder Mark Driscoll, who has been under fire amid questions about his leadership style and falling membership in his Mars Hill Church, has stepped down, the church announced on its website Wednesday. Driscoll, whose church grew to attract more than 12,000 at branches across five states, submitted his resignation Tuesday as elder and lead pastor, concluding “it would be best for the health of our family, and for

the Mars Hill family, that we step aside from further ministry at the church,” according to the Mars Hill website. The church currently has multiple branches in Washington, and one location each in Oregon, California and New Mexico. Last month it closed its Phoenix location as a Mars Hill church. His resignation came after a group of church elders recently ended an investigation into a series of formal

charges brought against him. The church’s board said on its website Wednesday that Driscoll was not asked to resign, and that they were surprised to receive his resignation letter. Driscoll took a leave of absence in August so church leaders could investigate whether he was fit to lead, following accusations that he bullied members, threatened opponents, lied and oversaw mismanagement of church funds, the Seattle Times has reported.

The church said Wednesday that its lengthy investigation found Driscoll has been “guilty of arrogance, responding to conflict with a quick temper and harsh speech, and leading the staff and elders in a domineering manner.” The board said that while it believes Driscoll needs to address those areas in his life, “we do not believe him to be disqualified from pastoral ministry.” The church noted that Driscoll, the only pastor it

has known since it was founded 18 years ago, was never charged with immorality, illegality or heresy. It said most of the charges involved the domineering style of leadership, and that they found some accusations “unfair or untrue.” In response to an interview request, church spokesman Justin Dean wrote in an email: “At this time we don’t have any additional details.” He referred back to the church’s state-

ment posted on its website. Other charges had previously been addressed by Driscoll, the church noted. The best-selling author has been accused of plagiarism and criticized for his stance against homosexuality and female preachers. In July, Driscoll apologized for crude comments he made posting under an alias in an online discussion forum 14 years earlier, in 2000, the Seattle Times reported.

The dirty dishes dilemma As you might imagine, I get a lot of mail. And since I could never respond to all your letters, questions and comments individually, I love to reach into the mail bag once each week selecting some of your letEVERYDAY ters to CHEAPSKATE a n s w e r r i g h t here. Dear M a r y : Is it cheaper to wash dishes by h a n d , since I w a s h Mary most of Hunt my pots and pans by hand anyway, or use the dishwasher? Thanks. — Audrey Dear Audrey: According to the folks at Energy Star, using a dishwasher versus hand washing can cut your utility bills by $40 or more annually. That’s because washing by hand uses more hot water, which is both a waste of the water (it takes 5,000 more gallons in a year to wash by hand) and the energy to heat it. That’s just how efficient dishwashers have become. But that’s not all. Using a dishwasher will save you about 230 hours of personal time in a year — nearly 10 days! And if your dishwasher boosts water temperatures to 140 F (Energy Star-rated machines do), you enjoy improved disinfection compared to hand washing. That means better health and fewer doctor visits. Dear Mary: I love some of the products you recommended in your makeup regime (“How I Stopped the M.A.C. Attacks”). I purchased the Prestige Eyeliner and love it, but I can’t figure out how to extend it (sharpen?). I would appreciate your help. — Doris D e a r D o r i s : Prestige Waterproof Eyeliner comes in two versions. The pencil version can be sharpened with a standard-size pencil sharpener. The “automatic” version is retractable and never needs sharpening. Just twist to roll the product up as you would a mechanical pencil. Glad you’re enjoying this eyeliner. It really is a fabulous, inexpensive option for much more expensive brands. Dear Mary: How can I stop buying stuff I can’t afford? Honestly, I can go to Target determined to buy only a few things I need and end up with $100 of stuff in my cart. I am disgusted with myself, like I need to turn myself in to the shopping police. Thanks. — Jennifer Dear Jennifer: Well, you have a friend in me. I know exactly what you’re talking about because I have that same “gene.” Here’s how I got that little monster under control. 1) Cash only. Do not go to Target (or any store) with any plastic in tow. Unless you plan to rob the place, you can’t spend more than you have allocated. 2) Don’t wander. Plan your route so you go directly to the location of the items you need. 3) Wear sunglasses. Seriously. Indoors nothing looks that great through sunglasses. 4) Make a wish list. Take along a small notepad. If, despite items 1-3 above, you happen to see things that are not your list — things that you really want, need or must have — put them on the list. When you get home, you can make plans for how to save for those items. Funny, once you’ve saved for the things on your makea-wish list, you may discover you can live without them. That’s cool.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2014 This will be a year of activity, not reflection. Everything you do will affect your future success, so keep the momentum going. Stay up to date with the latest trends in your field so that you are fully prepared for any challenges that lie ahead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Opt for a change of scenery. A residential move may not be practical, but a short getaway to a national park or scenic destination can revive and rejuvenate you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Practicality comes first. If you put your personal and financial matters in order and catch up on some overdue household chores, you’ll keep your day free of stress. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t let the advice of a critic or a disparaging remark cause you to give up on your dreams. The pleasure you receive from undertaking enjoyable projects is worth all the slings and arrows. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You will crave new ideas and stimulation. Look into activities that will take you outside of your comfort zone. If you resolve to try something new, you won’t be sorry. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Legal documents should be your focus. Taking care of small but tedious tasks will set your mind at ease. Once you have everything in order, you will feel free to move on. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You will feel better about a troubled relationship once you get your feelings out in the open. Don’t make accusations or ultimatums. Remain calm and reasonable, and deal with matters maturely. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It’s a good time to complete unfinished projects and flesh out ideas that you’ve been contemplating. Get all your materials in order ahead of time to avoid scrambling and becoming discouraged. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may feel like you are in a rut, but if you make personal changes that perk you up, it will give you enough incentive to get moving in a positive direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —
