Proposed wastewater treatment plant updates

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — The Coos Bay City Council held a special session at Sunset Middle School to address community concerns over the proposed construction of Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2.

With members of the project’s design team present for Tuesday’s meeting, community members were given a status update on the proposed project and assured it

would have a limited impact on their lives.

Tom Paul, construction manager for Mortenson Construction, assuaged parents’ concerns over how the project would affect both Sunset and Madison schools with construction estimated to run between the spring of 2015 and the fall of 2017.

“We’re going to have a very detailed plan regarding how traffic will flow in that area,” Paul said.

“We will assure you that children

will get to school and that concrete trucks won’t be interfering with school buses.”

While Paul admitted there would be occasional issues, he said planning will allow the city to mitigate the impact.

“We’re not going to tell you that it won’t be without some pain periodically,” Paul said. “We will schedule those things well in advance and let the community know so we can find ways around things.”

Community members also voiced concerns over the potential of odors emanating from the plant.

Craig Massie, CH2M Hill project manager, said the plant will have an odor control system, which has proven highly effective at other treatment plants.

“The two areas where odors are generated will have negative pressure so that air is drawn out of the space and passed through the carbon scrubber odor control system,” Massie said.

While the project team was able to alleviate most of the community’s concerns, residents living closest to the plant site remain disappointed.

Coos Bay resident Yashveer Singh voiced his displeasure with the aesthetics of the plant in addition to the potential loss of property value as a result of the project.

Using alternative methods to promote fire safety

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — In anticipation of Fire Prevention Week, the Coos Bay Fire Department is utilizing more alternative methods to promote fire safety awareness in the community.

Through the use of Facebook, the department is offering prizes for participants who correctly answer 10 fire safety questions posted throughout the week.

Once the final questions are posted Friday, the first five participants to correctly post the answers to the questions receive a gift bag consisting of a fire alarm, fire safety items and a T-shirt.

The Douglas County Veterans Forum has been critical of a decision to close the hospital’s intensive care unit five years ago, before Bogedain took over. She had defended the decision, saying the unit saw too few patients for staff to keep their skills sharp. Relations soured even more after she walked

ROSEBURG (AP) — The director of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Roseburg, who had come under criticism by a local veterans group unhappy with care at the facility, is leaving earlier than she had originally planned.

Carol Bogedain notified employees in an email that she is leaving at the end of this week, rather than at the end of the year, because her house had sold more quickly than she anticipated, The News-Review reported Wednesday.

“I want to thank all of you who have assisted me in this role as

Forum spokesman Jim Little said Bogedain had a distinguished 39year career with the VA, but did not do much to help the Roseburg VA during her three years at the facility.

In contrast, the regional director of the VA network issued a statement praising Bogedain’s performance during a challenging time. Veterans Integrated Service Network-20 Director Larry Carroll cited strategic planning, the expansion of the VA clinic in Eugene clinic and the development of $52 million in capital investment projects.

The open house also provides opportunities to learn and ask questions about fire safety.

“It’s an opportunity to ask about anything — preparedness, ask about fire protection and pick up a fire alarm if you need it,” Anderson said.

In addition to promoting awareness via social media and the open house, Takis said the department will also be offering in-school preSEE FIRE | A8

COOS BAY — The State Land Board will come to Coos Bay next week to talk about alternatives for managing the Elliott State Forest.

The board will meet in special session 3-6 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Hales Performing Arts Center on Oregon the Southwestern Community College Coos Bay campus. The public will be able to comment on ownership and management of the forest.

The board directed the Department of State Lands to develop a range of ownership and management scenarios for the forest. DSL has worked on this report since June. The land board won't make any decision at the Oct. 8 meeting; a final report will be presented to the board at its regular meeting Dec. 9 in Salem.

In recent years, revenues from the Elliott State Forest, a land asset of the Common School Fund, have curtailed been significantly because of Endangered Species Act litigation. As a result, the forest in fiscal year 2013 cost the Common School Fund about $3 million instead of generating revenue for the fund.

Comments may be presented to the board at the Coos Bay meeting orally or in writing. All speakers will need to sign in when they arrive. Written comments must have author information included.

A maximum of three minutes will be given to each speaker. It is

They do believe that he made it there, or at least his phone did.

There was a cell phone “ping” on a tower near the center of Roseburg on Friday, but even that can be misleading, Hutson said.

He noted that, back in 2005, a woman appeared to have become lost after suffering a stroke. She was able to call, but could not describe where she was.

The phone indicated she was in Drain, and a massive search began.

Unfortunately, she was later found to have been many miles away, near Scottsburg.

“There is no info, at this point, to lead us to believe any type of foul play was involved,” Hutson said about the missing motorcyclist.

About 30 people from five organizations that have improved and maintained the park for decades met Tuesday with the Medford parks director to express their concerns.

The Mail Tribune reported they fear that homeless people leaving waste or engaging in unlawful behavior would hurt the family-friendly environment and discourage visitors to the displays of railroad equipment.

EUGENE — The League of Oregon Cities’ prestigious Herman Kehrli Award was presented to Bandon City Manager Matt Winkel during the League’s 89th annual conference last weekend at the Hilton Eugene.

The award is given to a city employee who has made exceptional contributions to city government in Oregon, producing lasting benefits for their community, according to a press release from the LOC. Winkel was hired by the Bandon City Council in 1994. He started his civic service career with the city of Phoenix, Ariz., and later served as community development director and city manager for the city of Williams, Ariz.

Over Winkel’s 20-year tenure in Bandon, the list of city achievements has been numerous.

Today, all city streets are now paved, compared to 12 years ago, when only half were paved. In addition, the community now has sidewalks, walking paths, broadband services, and a recently added charging station for electric vehicles. A theater, a remodeled community and senior center, a new cheese factory and a library are some of the other amenities added during Winkel’s tenure.

Endorsing Winkel for the award, a colleague described him as “fiercely loyal to the concept of government officials being responsible to the taxpayer.”

Other endorsements came from elected city officials, city staff, the port, the historical museum, the chamber of commerce and the Greater Bandon Association.

The Herman Kehrli Award honors Kehrli, who served as executive secretary of the League of Oregon Cities and director of the University of Oregon’s for-

Vote yes on equal rights amendment Our view The constitutional amendment is more than symbolism; it’s protection we all deserve.

What do you think?

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

Measure 89 gives Oregon’s voters their first chance to vote on an equal rights amendment to the state constitution. We think the amendment is a good idea.

You might think that equal treatment for men and women is protected under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. That wasn’t the purpose of that amendment, though, and the Supreme Court has rejected attempts to interpret it that way.

Or you might think that it’s protected by the equalprotection language in Article I, Section 20 of the Oregon Constitution. Same

thing.

Instead, the right to equal treatment in the workplace, in education, in court and in public accommodations is laid out in legislation and in regulations, such as those of the Bureau of Labor and Industries.

Protection in regulation isn’t as good as Constitutional protection.

Administrations, legislatures, and supreme courts come and go. Suppose Commerce Department regulations, not the First Amendment, guided judges deciding free-speech cases.

Suppose citizens’ right to bear arms was founded on Treasury Department regulations, not the Second

Amendment.

Yeah.

Opponents say an equal rights amendment could create unintended consequences. Twenty-two other states have equal-rights language in their constitutions, either as an amendment or in the form of language that refers to both men and women. They haven’t sprouted unisex bathrooms or done away with single-sex institutions, such as private schools.

Adding an equal rights amendment to Oregon’s constitution won’t right all wrongs against women. For example, it’ll govern only how state agencies, not private-sector employers, treat

women in the workplace.

Nevertheless, it’s not merely a symbolic measure.

Adding an equal rights amendment to Oregon’s constitution will ensure the courts, state laws and policies that discriminate on the basis of sex are subjected to the same “strict scrutiny” as those that discriminate on the basis of race and national origin, instead of the “intermediate scrutiny” that is currently applied. As has happened to some extent with civil rights protections for race, it’s hoped that constitutional equalrights language will cause justice to roll down into all areas of life.

We say, “Let it roll.”

Holy radicals in a fallen world It’s 7:15 Tuesday morning and like most mornings, Fr. Robert Barron, rector of the Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Ill., unassumingly takes an open seat in the audience. Fr. Barron is best and popularly known for the recent PBS series “Catholicism” and his Word on Fire ministry. But here he is on a serene campus outside of Chicago, gathered with his community for prayer.

After a brief greeting, the newly announced archbishop of Chicago, Blase Cupich, slips in alongside Fr. Barron.“We are people not to worry, but to depend on the mercy of God,” Cupich began as he greeted the audience minutes later, expressing his happiness at being with them to celebrate morning Mass.

Cupich said that this was one of the first things he wanted to do as the new archbishop: be with the seminarians under his care.In his homily, he urged them to embrace their roles as beacons of reconciliation and healing. “You all are here because you have heard the word of God,” Cupich said. “Be taken by it and share it.”

Since the news of a new Chicago archbishop broke KATHRYN on Sept. 20, the buzz has LOPEZ been about politics.

Columnist Cupich, seen as a “moderate,” is replacing Cardinal Francis George, viewed as a “conservative.”

But there were no politics here, as people prayed in unison and shared in spiritual fellowship.

As in many of his columns, homilies and speeches, Cupich appeared to be something of a radical, that is, he frequently pointed to Jesus Christ and the Gospels, who and which are exactly that.

We’re approaching midterm elections, a season that can tend toward polarization. It’s good to keep in mind, however, that there is something “majestic” about the American Constitution, as the late William F. Buckley Jr. put it. In a 1979 speech on “What Americanism Seeks to Be,” he praised the Constitution, in particular the Bill of Rights, for prohibiting government from infringing on human dignity. But it wasn’t merely some grand idea or abstract notion.

“It grew out of a long, empirical journey,” Buckley reflected, “the eternal spark of which, of course, traces to Bethlehem, to that star that magnified man beyond any power of the emperors and gold-seekers and legions of soldiers and slaves: A star that implanted in each one of us that essence that separates us from the beasts and tells us that we were made in the image of God and were meant to be free.”

When he met the press in Chicago upon the announcement of his new post, Archbishop-elect Cupich said that Pope Francis had just appointed “a pastor, not a message” to Chicago. Rather than distract ourselves with who’s in, who’s out and what that might mean, as if we’re scoring a baseball game or presidential debate, we might consider that sometimes news events might be an occasion for examining our consciences and renewing our most fundamental commitments, rather than engaging in partisan punditry.

In no small part because of the constant bombardment that our senses experience daily and the business of our lives, we often miss the greater context of things. In his work,Barron tries to help with this,renewing our understanding of Christian culture.

If we are to be good stewards, we will consider that not everything is ideology and profit,that among the causal idolatry of popular and political culture, we have lost sight of the spark that we need, for it is the exercise of virtue that keeps us honest and free. We need holy radicals among us. Priests, pastors, parents, sons and daughters, voters, and yes, even businesspeople and politicians.

Letters to the Editor Vote for Gurney for commissioner I like term limits — not only on a national scale but also on the local political scene. The longer someone holds any public office the more apt they are to abuse the power that resides with that office. This is the main reason why I believe we need Don Gurney in office as a county commissioner. Besides, I feel that Don Gurney will do a real fine job for the people of Coos County. Why? Because, I know Don is a man who believes in economic freedom and, at the same time, will try his hardest to keep local government small. I also know Don well and have

confidence in his overwhelming the follow to desire Constitution. Furthermore, I like that Don Gurney supports the equal representation of all the people of Coos County as well as the right of the people to own and control their own property. In addition, I like Don because he wants to see a public vote on all tax increases and a public vote to eliminate urban renewal debt.

I like Don’s assertion that as a commissioner he’ll dedicate his time and effort to help our county through the difficult budgetary years ahead. I like his determination to have an open, transparent governing body working with citizens to be the best we can be. I like his resolve

that, here in this county, we do not need part time commissioners, but full time public servants.

I also can appreciate when he says, “voters can count on the fact that I never have and never will owe political ‘favors.’” On this, I believe Don will be a man of his word.

Because Don has lived most of his life here in this area, I trust that he will make the best decisions on behalf of its citizens.

Having family roots in this part of Oregon, not only makes Don the sensible choice for Coos County commissioner, but in my mind, gives county residents the confidence they need that he’ll follow up because he truly cares.

However, the main reason I believe that Don Gurney is the

right choice for Coos County commissioner is term limits. The incumbent has had his shot, let’s give Don Gurney his. I like Don Gurney for county commissioner.

Reforming our political party system John Heaney was a political reporter for United Press when he was allowed to accompany the governor of Oklahoma, Raymond Gary, to a meeting with President Harry Truman. After small talk, Truman asked Gary if he remembered when Truman’s campaign train had made a prolonged stop in Oklahoma City.

Did the governor know why the train stayed in the city so long?

Truman asked. No, came the reply. Reporter Heaney, years later, repeated what Truman said next.

“We ran out of money, and we didn’t have enough to get the train out of the station,” Truman said.

“I had to get on the phone and raise the money to get us out of there.”

That story is legend in Democratic circles. It came to mind recently when “PBS Newshour” reported the latest campaign expenditures for this 2014 congressional election. With a little over a month to go, the “$228 million (and climbing) spent by outside interest groups is not only the most ever spent in a midterm, but it’s also more spent in any election except the 2012 presidential election.”

By “outside money” we’re talking about secret contributors who pour millions upon millions into congressional districts and states in their bid to influence a congressman or senator by such heavy indebtedness. We can thank the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United that

allows unlimited money to be spent by unions and corporat i o n s (businesses doing the better part).

The Center for Responsive DONNA Politics compiled Federal BRAZILE E l e c t i o n Columnist Co m m i ss i o n reports of campaign contributions. The contrast between before and after the Citizens United decision is staggering.

Only $34 million was spent by outside spending groups on the 2000 election, when I helped manage former Vice President Al Gore’s campaign. More than that is spent now in many individual states.

By the 2004 presidential election, $64 million was spent; $144 million was spent in 2008. Then came Citizens United in 2010, and the floodgates opened: $206 million was spent in an off-year election. This last presidential election, in 2012, busted all records. Over $1 billion flowed into campaign coffers from contributors, most of whom managed to remain anonymous.

But — are you sitting down? — we are, as of this writing, $36 million past 2010’s off-year elections. Big, outside money is eager to buy a Senate and House that most people would argue don’t come close to earning their

keep.

Of course, I’d argue if you don’t want obstruction, those seeking to move away from the political gridlock will not have much success. The cost per voter is astronomical when we consider many are so discouraged, or turned off, that we will likely once more have a Congress elected by the smallest percentage of citizens ever.

We need comprehensive electoral reform. I truly am baffled about how we got here when campaign finance reform is a little over 40 years old. In 1972, Sen. George McGovern became the first candidate, ever, to disclose his contributors and to limit campaign contributions.

That grew out of McGovern’s prairie populism, but it was evident that it was necessary in the unraveling corruption of Watergate from 1972 to 1974. It isn’t discussed much, but Watergate involved extortion and bribery from campaign contributors.

International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) had an antitrust case against it pending in the Department of Justice, headed by Nixon’s former law partner John Mitchell. A $400,000 contribution to the Nixon campaign, and ITT’s case melted away.

The dairy industry wanted Nixon to support higher government milk subsidies. It had to pay a bit more, some $2 million, but it got government tax dollars many times more than what they

slipped under Nixon’s table.

PBS says three of the top four states where the most secret money is being poured — North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado — “are the states that make up the Democratic ‘firewall.’ Democrats believe if they hold those three, they hold the Senate.” I am sure Kansas will soon join the ranks, as another competitive race is brewing there.

It’s clear to me that the extraordinary amount of money being spent, along with the electoral rigging of our congressional districts, will produce more gridlock, hyper-partisanship and obstruction. Just take a look online in your state and you’ll definitely see the trends.

There’s no question that this issue is bigger than just one party, but you have to be politically tone-deaf not to see what’s happening across America. Outside groups are dropping big money to show garbage on the airwaves. In Georgia, the secretary of state is launching a politically motivated investigation into a group registering new voters that may have a chilling effect on its voter registration efforts. In Wisconsin, a substantial change in voter ID requirements is estimated to disenfranchise roughly 9 percent of Wisconsin’s voters. We have the power to change the rigging of the political game — no matter which side of the divide you’re on, or simply sitting in the middle as an independent voter.

State/Obituaries Medications kept under lock and key ensure kids’ safety DEAR ABBY: You missed the chance to communicate a life-or-death message to your readers when you answered a letter from an “Ohio Grandma” (July 14).

Your reply understated the importance of storing medications properly and safely.

What if the grandmother had placed a loaded GUN on the desk instead of medications?

Both can produce just as deadly a result.

DEAR And why didn’t those meds have safety lids?

Putting them in a suitcase is not enough.

T h e y should be stored out JEANNE of reach, PHILLIPS preferably secured with a safety lock. Or better yet, the parents should be told you have dangerous substances with you — and ASKED where you can store them. — MOM OF A TODDLER IN NEW JERSEY DEAR MOM: I was scolded for not placing more emphasis on the safety issue.

However, the question I was asked was, “Are we obligated to help with more of the medical expenses (for the ER visit) because we have already helped (contributed several hundred dollars) and I don’t think it’s our job to teach our grandchild boundaries?” So that was the issue on which I focused. Read on: DEAR ABBY: You dropped the ball. No 3-year-old will respect a closed door all of the time. Grandma and Grandpa are responsible for the safe-keeping of their meds while in the child’s and even the grandparents’ home. Bottles that rattle and pretty colors in a bottle that look like candy will attract any little kid. Grandma and Grandpa should be happy they aren’t helping to pay for a funeral instead of an ER visit. Here are the “rules”: 1. All medications should be in kid-proof containers.

2. All medications and OTC drugs should be kept out of a curious child’s climbing area.

3. Poison Control numbers should be posted on the fridge.

4. Use the original container (NOT one of those daily dosage containers) and know how many pills are in it. Be sure you know the name, strength and dosage for each medication. Just telling the hospital that it’s for “blood pressure” doesn’t tell them what it is or how to treat an overdose.

5. NEVER tell the kids that medication is candy!

6. You are the adult. Don’t expect any child — or teen — to respect your private property when it comes to medication. — MESQUITE, TEXAS, GRANDMA DEAR ABBY: “Ohio Grandma’s” story of an emergency room visit for suspected medication poisoning is all too common. In 2011, 67,700 toddlers were seen for accidental medication exposure. Of these, 12,390 required hospitalization. Children 13 to 24 months of age accounted for 68 percent of these visits. In ER visits where information was obtained, 38 percent involved grandparents’ medications, 31 percent the mother’s medications, 12 percent a sibling’s, 8 percent the father’s and 5 percent an aunt’s or uncle’s medication.

Family members MUST take precautions to keep their meds out of children’s hands.

I keep mine under lock and key with the key in my possession whenever I visit my grandchildren.

While I agree with you that children should be taught boundaries and to respect the possessions of others, I believe we have a responsibility to provide a safe environment, especially when we are visiting or when children are visiting us. The consequences of failing to do that can be tragic. — PEDIATRICIAN AND GRANDMOTHER IN MAINE

Man gets 30-year term for bomb plot PORTLAND (AP) — One thousand, four hundred and six days after he screamed “God is great” while police officers dragged him into a waiting van, a young Somali American was sentenced to 30 years in prison for plotting to detonate a bomb.

His intended target was a downtown Portland square one night after Thanksgiving

2010, where thousands of revelers watched the mayor light a towering Christmas tree. The bomb was a fake, part of an elaborate FBI sting with Mohamed Mohamud as its target.

Mohamud was 19 then, a fact a federal judge in Portland took into account when sentencing him Wednesday to three decades in prison. His

attorneys asked for a prison on the West Coast,and pledged to appeal his sentence.

In their telling, Mohamud was a vulnerable, confused teenager, a prime target for the FBI sting. By playing on his Muslim faith, the undercover agents posing as jihadis lured him into a six-month plot that effectively brainwashed him: The Oregon State University

freshman who entered the plot left it fully radicalized.

But U.S. District Court Judge Garr King rejected that analysis. While Mohamud was indeed young and lacked the means to carry out a terrorist plot, he had the will and ambition, King said Wednesday.

When given the choice to participate in an internal,

peaceful struggle, Mohamud instead declared he wanted to “become operational.” He maintained that course even after being told he would see corpses and body parts.

Prosecutors had sought a 40-year term for Mohamud, now 23. But King said the defendant’s youth and remorse for his actions helped lower his sentence.

NEWS D I G E S T Man arrived from Africa, was still sent home DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas emergency room sent a man with Ebola home last week, even though he told a nurse that he had been in diseaseravaged West Africa, and officials at the hospital are considering if they would have acted differently had the entire medical staff been aware.

The decision by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to release the patient, who had recently arrived from Liberia, could have put others at risk of exposure to Ebola before the man went back to the ER a couple of days later when his condition worsened.

A nine-member team of federal health officials was tracking anyone who had close contact with the man after he fell ill on Sept. 24. The group of 12 to 18 people included three members of the ambulance crew that took him to the hospital, as well as a handful of schoolchildren.

Anger mounts as Kashmir floodwaters subside SRINAGAR, India (AP) — As floodwaters ripped through Indian-controlled Kashmir, Abdul Majeed spent five days holed up with his family in their attic, watching helplessly as army helicopters plucked tourists from hotel rooftops and government boats ferried officials to safety.

“We shouted and signaled, but they ignored us,” the businessman said.

The water has mostly receded, but Majeed’s anger has not. He vows to participate in anti-India protests, dozens of which erupt daily, blocking the few roads that remain usable.

“It’s clear to me that India treats Kashmiris as secondThe Associated Press class citizens,” Majeed said.

Police warn protesters not to charge buildings HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong police warned of serious consequences if prodemocracy protesters try to occupy government buildings, as they have threatened to do if the territory’s leader didn’t resign by Thursday.

Tensions mounted ahead of the deadline set by students for the city’s Beijing-backed Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down — part of broader demonstrations pushing for electoral reforms for the Asian financial center.

Both the Chinese government and the student protesters seemed to be losing patience after the weeklong street protests, the biggest challenge to Beijing’s authority since China took control of the former British colony in 1997.

In a reflection of growing concern in Beijing, China’s ruling party mouthpiece warned in a commentary Thursday of “chaos” in Hong Kong, and expressed strong support for Leung in his face-off with the protesters, an amorphous movement led mostly by university students.

Late Thursday afternoon, hundreds of young protesters crowded in front of the gate to the territory’s government headquarters, spilling around the sides of the huge building and across the street. Many donned face masks and goggles, some had gas masks and rain capes — all precautions in case police might use tear gas and pepper spray, as they did last weekend to try to disperse demonstrators.

“We can’t just sit here forever because we can’t achieve what we want. We hope to have a direction with actions soon, not just sit here aimlessly,” said Maness Ko, a 21-year-old college student.

The protesters oppose Beijing’s decision in August that candidates in Hong Kong’s first direct election in 2017 for the territory’s top post be approved by a mostly pro-Beijing committee. They accuse the central government of reneging on its promise that the chief executive would be chosen through “universal suffrage.”

Hong Kong police spokesman Steve Hui told reporters that blocking or occupying government buildings would not be tolerated and would lead to “serious consequences.”

The students remained watchful but calm, looking on as police brought in tubs of gear, including some labeled “rubber batons.”

Each change of police shift brought on a ruckus as students resisted but eventually gave way after being reassured they could reoccupy the pavement outside the compound’s government gate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Although it’s called “Open Payments,” the government’s new website doesn’t make it easy to find out whether your doctor is getting freebies, travel or other financial benefits from drug companies and medical device manufacturers.

This should be a clue: The website lacks a “Find Your Doctor” button.

Suspect doesn’t appear in court CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The man charged with abducting a missing University of Virginia student didn’t appear in court Thursday morning for a bond hearing on reckless driving charges as expected.

Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. was scheduled for a 9 a.m. hearing in Albemarle County General District Court, but a judge read his name and then quickly moved to the next case without any explanation of where Matthew was or why he didn’t appear by video feed.

The 32-year-old Matthew also is charged with abduction with intent to defile 18-year-old Hannah Graham.

His bond hearing on that felony count has been set for Dec. 4 in Charlottesville.

WASTEWATER Continued from Page A1 said. “If this is the best they can come up with, it’s embarrassing.”

While Singh admitted the plant was necessary for the city’s development, he believes it will have an adverse effect on local residents’ property values because the plant will obstruct some of the homes’ views.

“Property values will go down,” Singh said. “I’m going to go underwater, so is my neighbor and that’s just the reality of it.”

In addition to addressing community concerns, Public Works Director Jim Hossley updated the status of the project, saying it was in the 90-percent-designed stage with city officials starting to submit environmental plans.

With the current plant not compliant with EPA and DEQ standards, the city contemplated upgrading the plant, but the site wasn’t

large enough to meet the requirements.

Despite its high costs, the new plant will benefit the city in the long run because the plant will provide a better quality of waste, Hossley said.

Because the project was financed with some federal funding, the city is subject to more stringent environmental regulations, including submitting plans to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), for which it will incur an additional cost to meet requirements.

“The city doesn’t currently have a stormwater plan that satisfies NMFS so that’s something that we have to put together through our loan application with the EQ,” Hossley said.

The city, however, may be able to bypass some environmental planning due to questions over the legality of the NMFS’s orders.

“We do question whether NMFS does have the legal authority to make this demand on us,” Hossley said.

“We are contracting for legal advice with a firm that specializes in this.”

As part of the special council meeting, community members also contributed in selecting some of the textural designs for the plant.

The council and community members chose split face concrete masonry unit siding, which will save the city $33,000, and a green roof for the plant.

The council and community members also elected not to add additional textures to the process facility, which will save the city an additional $15,000, because enhanced landscaping would obscure the view of the plant.

While people may already feel inundated with constant reminders about safety, Anderson stressed the importance of being trained to react when in an ominous situation.

“Fire prevention and fire safety in general is one of those things where you get exposed to it, but you want to keep it in front of them so if something does happen, it becomes muscle memory and you act appropriately,” Anderson said.

had repeatedly expressed concern about the Secret Service performance in the wake of the White House intruder, said the officials, who weren’t authorized to discuss the issue by name and requested anonymity.

“In light of recent and accumulating reports about the agency, I think legitimate questions were raised — at least they were in the mind of both the secretary and the president,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

The White House learned about the Atlanta incident just before details of the encounter were published by two newspapers. In a meeting with Johnson, Pierson offered her resignation without being asked, but Obama had already told aides he thought she should go. No one put up any resistance when she offered to step down, officials said.

Pierson did not respond to a telephone message from The Associated Press seeking comment. In an interview with Bloomberg News, she said she felt leaving the agency “was the noble thing to do” and her departure “would take pressure off the organization.”

She suggested she felt forced out of the Secret Service after more than 30 years, just 18 months as director.

“Congress has lost confidence in my ability to run the agency,” she said. “The media has made it clear that this is what they expected.”

The first clear sign of Pierson’s impending fate came Tuesday while she faced questions about the Sept. 19 breach from members of the House Oversight and Government Reform

Committee.

She told lawmakers she could not explain why the agency issued conflicting statements on whether the accused intruder was armed — court records say he had a 3-inch serrated folding knife — and how far into the building he got. Omar Gonzalez was arrested and accused of running into the East Room, well beyond the unlocked front door he was believed to have entered.

“I wish to God you protected the White House like you protected your reputation here today,” Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch told Pierson at the hearing.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican and senior member of the committee who knew about the Atlanta incident before Obama, called for her ouster Tuesday night.

After she resigned, he said, “It was the right thing to do, it had to happen, but there are some systemic challenges that must be addressed.”

Pierson said Tuesday that personnel actions were pending.

Her departure wasn’t likely to end criticism of the agency.

Lawmakers have called for an outside review and Johnson has put Deputy DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the department’s general counsel in charge of the Secret Service investigation.

“We need a full, top-tobottom review of the Secret Service and I will soon introduce legislation to establish an independent panel to conduct this comprehensive assessment,” said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas.

North Bend Marshfield South Umpqua Siuslaw Brookings-Harbor Douglas Friday’s Games: North Bend at Siuslaw Douglas at Marshfield South Umpqua at Brookings-Harbor

North Bend at Siuslaw Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: K-Light (98.7 FM) and KCST (106.9 FM).

Outlook: A week ago this appeared to be the premier matchup of the Far West League season. Then South Umpqua beat Siuslaw 27-21, taking some of the luster off Friday’s battle. It’s still a huge contest, though, especially if Siuslaw hopes to battle back and win the league title.

North Bend has been unstoppable on offense and nearly impenetrable on defense. The Vikings will need to stop at least one of those trends to have a chance Friday. They also will want a faster start than last week, when they were shut out in the first quarter by the Lancers.

The Associated Press

San Francisco’s Brandon Crawford, center, is greeted by teammates Brandon Belt, left, and Hunter Pence right, after hitting a grand slam against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fourth inning Wednesday.

Douglas at Marshfield Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KMHS (91.3 FM) Outlook: The Pirates will go for two straight league wins when they host the Trojans in a game that appears to favor Marshfield. While Douglas still is seeking its first win, Marshfield is trying to build a three-game win streak. The Pirates have gotten outstanding performances the past few weeks from Andrew Sharp and Lance Grigsby, a pair of seniors filling in for injured quarterback Jake Miles and running back Rylee Trendell, respectively. Douglas, on the other hand, is making its second straight trip to the Bay Area after being blown out by North Bend 56-6 a week ago.

South Umpqua at Brookings-Harbor Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KURY (95.3 FM) Outlook: The Lancers have a chance to prove last week’s win over Siuslaw wasn’t a fluke by going on the road and beating the Bruins, a team still trying to find a win on its schedule. South Umpqua will have to avoid looking ahead to next week’s game at North Bend.

Pleasant Hill’s three losses have all come to standout teams in close scores — 12-8 to Dayton, 28-20 to Cascade Christian and 6-2 to Ontario. The Billies also beat Amity. Coquille will have the advantage of home field as it tries to bounce back from last week’s loss to Illinois Valley. The Red Devils will need a strong defensive effort against Pleasant Hill’s spread attack and will need to avoid turnovers on offense.

Radio: KSHR (97.3 FM) Outlook: Half of the six teams in the Sunset Conference will advance to the Class 2A playoffs, and the winner of Friday’s game will have the inside track for one of those spots. The game is a contrast of styles. Myrtle Point prefers to pound the ball with fullbacks Anthony Stoddard and Isaac Godfrey. The Tigers, on the other hand, have a wide-open passing attack led by quarterback Quentin Coomer. The game could come down to who makes the fewest mistakes. Myrtle Point gained momentum with a win over Glide last week, while Bandon had a bye.

Reedsport at Toledo Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Braves begin their quest for a second straight playoff appearance with their road trip to face one of the two league newcomers. Toledo’s win was an impressive one, 38-34 over Central Linn last week. The Braves, meanwhile, have been riding a steady defense that allowed just one touchdown in wins over Glide and Santiam the past two weeks. If Reedsport can get its offense going, too, the squad could put itself in great position for the playoffs.

Waldport at Gold Beach Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KGBR (92.7 FM) Outlook: The Panthers start their quest for another league title when they host the other league newcomer.

Gold Beach has been impressive running up a perfect preseason against mostly larger schools, including Class 5A North Eugene last week. The Panthers also will enjoy playing in front of their home crowd for the first time since beating Coquille in the season opener.

Giants slam Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) — Brandon Crawford figured the San Francisco Giants needed one run, maybe two, the way ace Madison Bumgarner was dealing.

A grand slam provided all that and more, silencing a revved-up crowd and propelling San Francisco into the meat of the playoffs. Streaking in May and slumping in September, the Giants are back to their old resilient selves in October.

Hey, it’s what they do this time of year.

Crawford’s slam off Edinson Volquez in the fourth inning led the Giants to an 8-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game Wednesday night, sending San Francisco on to Washington for the best-of-five Division Series starting Friday.

“We thrive in these situations,” Crawford said. “I don’t know what it is. We just keep fighting no matter what the circumstance.”

The Giants won their eighth consecutive postseason game and

seventh straight with their season on the line, a streak that dates back to their run to a World Series title in 2012. While much work remains before they can start thinking about the franchise’s eighth championship, there was certainly a familiar feeling at PNC Park as San Francisco dismantled the Pirates.

“We’ve been through it before, a lot of this team has,” Brandon Belt said. “We used that experience tonight. We know when we get in these situations we’re going to have a good ballclub.”

Particularly when Bumgarner is on the mound. He tossed a fourhitter with 10 strikeouts, needing 109 pitches to put a quick end to Pittsburgh’s second straight playoff appearance.

Mixing his fastball with a slider and curve the Pirates rarely touched, Bumgarner was in complete control and looked very much like the ace who won 18 games during San Francisco’s bumpy regular season.

“If you don’t want to pitch in

these games, you probably need to find something else to do,” he said.

No chance of that for Bumgarner or the rest of a roster that flourishes once the calendar flips past September. Crawford’s grand slam was the first in postseason history by a shortstop — and he wasn’t aiming for the fences.

With the bases loaded in the fourth and nobody out in a scoreless game, Crawford turned on Volquez’s hanging breaking ball and sent it to right. Pittsburgh’s Travis Snider waited to play it off the wall. He never got the chance, instead slumping his shoulders as the ball landed a couple of rows deep to give the Giants a 4-0 lead that felt considerably larger.

“I was in shock a little bit,” Crawford said.

So were the Pirates, who never recovered. One night after Kansas City edged Oakland in a thrilling start to baseball’s postseason, this one was over by the middle innings.

Chase moves into second phase CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Drivers have been fretting about the second round of NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for weeks.

The three-race stretch that begins Sunday at Kansas Speedway ends on Oct. 19 at Talladega Superspeedway, where four drivers will be booted from the field.

“I think that bracket will break some hearts,” Brad Keselowski said three days before winning the Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway last month.

He hasn’t changed his mind.

The field has been trimmed from 16 to 12 drivers, and although they are all even as they head into Kansas, the margin of error will be small. Drivers will be desperate to run well at Kansas this week and Charlotte next week so that the crapshoot that is Talladega will not decide their championship fate.

“Two of the three races are as much of a wild card as you can get in NASCAR racing these days,” Keselowski said Wednesday during a fan event for the 12 Chase drivers at NASCAR’s Hall of Fame. “One of the great teams that has a shot at winning this will probably be left at home after this series of events, because you

The Associated Press

Jimmie Johnson makes a pit stop during the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race Sunday at Dover International Speedway. don’t control your destiny as much as you do the other races of the season.”

A championship cannot be won this weekend at Kansas, but it most certainly can be lost.

Kyle Busch has rolled into the 1.5-mile speedway in solid shape in the Sprint Cup standings time and time again, only to see his title hopes slip away. He crashed out of the Chase race there the last two seasons, and suffered the same fate in 2007 when he arrived at

Kansas within a handful of points of the leader.

Under the new Chase format, a win in any of the three races guarantees a driver an automatic berth into the next round, so a bad day at Kansas can be overcome. But with Talladega, where one wiggle by one driver can wipe out half the field, few want to head to Alabama later this month in desperation mode.

Elkton at Powers Time: 3 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: Powers got off to a good start in the playoff chase by winning its north division opener against Butte Falls last week. Now they get the team that denied them a spot in the playoffs last year on a rainy day when Powers had six turnovers in Eklton. Powers has been very impressive since an overtime loss to North Douglas in the season opener, including a win over Class 2A Myrtle Point. A win Friday would improve the Cruisers’ chances of a top-three finish in the division, a must to reach the postseason.

NORTH BEND — This year’s marquee matchup in the Far West League feels more like an undercard.

Rivals Siuslaw and North Bend face off in Florence on Friday, and as the 4-0 Bulldogs are rolling like the dominant 35-6 team they’ve become the past four seasons, Siuslaw will back into an opportunity to beat North Bend for the first time since 2011.

The Vikings are coming off a 27-21 loss to South Umpqua, the Lancers first win against Siuslaw in the past 13 years.

“They will be back,” North Bend head coach Gary Prince said.

“They are a well coached, disciplined, and experienced team. We expect Siuslaw to give us some

challenges in all aspects of the game. Our kids understand the importance of this game regardless of what happened last week.”

Siuslaw has done well at home so far this year, with convincing victories against Hidden Valley and Newport at Hans Petersen Memorial Field, winning by an average of 31.5. It’s on the road where the Vikings struggle, first squeaking out a 28-22 win against Scio on Sept. 12 before falling in Tri City last week.

A big affliction for Siuslaw — at least against the Lancers — was giving up yards on the ground.

Between South Umpqua’s Kyle Merritt and Matt Kennedy, the Vikings gave up 223 yards on 46 carries, which ought to encourage Bulldogs’ starting running back Luke Lucero. The junior tailback is coming off 86 yards on seven car-

ries and three touchdowns against Douglas.

After an enhanced role in the blowout win against Douglas last Friday, Prince is excited to see how running backs Trey Woods and Daniel Ferenczi will perform as more carries continue coming their way. Joe Rutherford, a firstteam all Far West League offensive lineman last year, will be making the snaps at center Friday and Josh Kimble will be starting at guard. On defense Rich Rigney will also be getting more time at linebacker.

North Bend’s firecracker offense is averaging 50 points a game led by quarterback Cam Lucero, with his top weapons including receivers Drew Matthews and Levi Rider.

Which was worse? The beatdown the Americans were handed

by Europe in the Ryder Cup or the aftermath of Phil Mickelson’s comments that, at least on the surface, criticized the strategy of American captain Tom Watson?

To be fair, it’s like comparing apples to oranges. But it’s safe to say both were bad.

Lets start with the play on the golf course. Europe was simply better. And that wasn’t a surprise.

The Americans went into the event as big underdogs and left with yet another loss to the golfers from the other side of the pond.

1 1 The final score was 16 ⁄2 to 11 ⁄2.

Over the three days, Europe won 13 of the 28 matches and halved seven more. The Americans won just eight matches.

The big difference was in the alternate shot format, where Europe didn’t lose any of the eight matches.

Team USA was just fine in the best ball format, winning four of the eight matches and halving SPORTS two others. And one of the two that Europe won came early Saturday morning during the best stretch of golf the entire week.

The shotmaking was JOHN superb in all four G UNTHER matches. The American squad that lost, Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar, was 8-under and didn’t get to the 17th hole. That’s because Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson had 10 straight birdies for Europe.

The Americans held their own in singles, too, with wins by Mickelson, Kuchar, Jimmy Walker and Patrick Reed and halves in three other matches.

The United States team simply was outplayed.

But was any of that because of Tom Watson’s decisions as captain?

That’s where Mickelson’s comments came in.

Asked if there’s anything Watson might have done differently, Mickelson said the United States should have used a system similar to the pod technique Paul Azinger employed in 2008, the only time the Americans have won in the past 15 years. Players that year had more of a role in the decisions for the team.

“Nobody here was in any decision,” Mickelson said.

Mickelson might have been frustrated because he and partner Keegan Bradley weren’t included in either session Saturday after they split their two matches Friday or because he’s now been on 10 Ryder Cup teams and only able to celebrate two United States victories.

Watson defended his decisions.

“I had a different philosophy as far as being a captain of this team,” he said. “It takes 12 players to win.

It’s not pods. It’s 12 players.”

Watson had been there before.

He was captain the last time the United States won in Europe.

Clearly, Watson knows a ton more about this stuff than me, but I questioned a few of his decisions, too.

I wouldn’t have played Mickelson and Bradley on Friday afternoon, after their win in the morning. The course was a physically demanding walk and Mickelson is not a young man.

Technically, he’s younger than me (by one day), but 36 holes couldn’t have been easy, especially when he had trouble getting warm in the morning.

I would have saved Lefty and Bradley for Saturday morning — they are better in best ball than alternate shot anyway — and sent the sensational rookie pair of Reed and Jordan Spieth back out in the afternoon. Not only do they have young legs, but they won both their matches as teammates and could have more easily handled 36 holes Friday and 18 more Saturday.

Of course, that might not have made a difference either.

“The bottom line is they kicked our butts,” Watson said.

And it might happen again in two years.

Here’s a thought. Make Mickelson captain — a playing captain if he qualifies for the team again.

See if his theory is right. If not, he can eat his words.

The worst that could happen would be another European victory.

Sports Tigers, Orioles contrast strengths

Lakers get league volleyball victory

Detroit features aces in rotation while Baltimore boasts bullpen ■

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Detroit T igers’ starting pitchers in the first three games of the AL Division Series have a combined 329 wins, three Cy Young Awards and 35 games of postseason experience.

Baltimore’s starters carry less impressive credentials, yet they don’t necessarily have to outpitch their Detroit counterparts for the Orioles to advance.

All they have to do is keep it close, then hand the baseball over to one of the best bullpens in major leagues.

Detroit (90-72) didn’t win as many games as the Orioles (96-66), who ran away with the AL East title to earn home-field advantage in the best-of-five series that begins Thursday. But the AL Central-champion Tigers have been installed as a slight favorite — mainly because of their formidable starting rotation.

Max Scherzer (18-5, 3.15 ERA) starts today, followed

by Justin Verlander (15-12, 4.54) and David Price (15-12, 3.26). That also happens to be a list of the last three AL Cy Young winners.

Advantage, Detroit?

“I think we all know what it looks like on paper,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday. “But there’s a lot of things that look a certain way on paper for us that we were able to overcome.”

Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman (13-6, 3.34 ERA) will make his first foray

The Associated Press

Baltimore’s Adam Jones takes batting practice Wednesday as the Orioles prepare for their divisional series with Detroit. The series starts today in Baltimore. into the postseason in the opener. Although Showalter declined the announced his starters for Friday and Sunday, they will likely be Wei-Yin Chen (16-6, 3.54) and Miguel Gonzalez (10-9, 3.23), each of whom has pitched in exactly one playoff game.

If playoff experience and Cy Young Awards mean anything, then Detroit has a decent chance to reach the AL Championship Series for a fourth straight year.

“Pitching. That’s what wins ballgames,” Price said.

“If we put up zeroes early, that kind of gives our offense a chance to kind of settle into the game. They know they don’t have to put up a threeor four-spot because we’re down.”

But if a game is close in the seventh inning, the Orioles like their chances.

“We’ve got a good bullpen, we have a good starting staff,” said closer Zach Britton, who finished with 37 saves. “Anytime there’s a close game, we’re confident we can pull it out, and we’ve done that a lot this year.”

Britton (1.65 ERA) usually works the ninth inning.

Andrew Miller (1.35 ERA in 23 games with Baltimore) or

Darren O’Day (1.70) take care of the eighth, following hard-throwing Tommy Hunter.

Back in May, when Detroit last played the Orioles, Hunter (3-2, 2.97 ERA) was the closer and Miller was still pitching for Boston.

Much has changed.

“Britton has really established himself since we last saw Baltimore. He’s one of the best closers in the game,” Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. “They acquired Andrew Miller, who obviously had a track record coming in. And now you’ve got a closer who can pitch the sixth or seventh inning. That’s not a bad position to be in if you’re the Orioles. Their bullpen has done a good job, and that’s part of the reason they’ve been so successful.”

Ausmus has been calling upon Joba Chamberlain to work the eighth and Joe Nathan to get the final three outs. The duo experienced mixed results during the regular season — Chamberlain was 2-5 with four blown saves and a 3.57 ERA, and Nathan finished 5-4 with seven blown saves and a lofty 4.81 ERA. Advantage Baltimore?

“Britton, from what I’ve seen, his ball’s moving all over

the place,” Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter said. “They’ve got a nice little bullpen over there. We’ve seen some dirty pitching (in the AL Central), so I don’t think it will be new, but it will be tough. Those guys are good.”

Scherzer, meanwhile, hasn’t faced the Orioles since June 17, 2013. He knows this much: Baltimore led the majors with 211 home runs, so the right-hander had better be careful.

“A team that swings the bat like that, they’re dangerous,” he said. “They’re dangerous one through nine.

That’s something I know going into the start. They need to have a good game plan against me and I need to have a good game plan against them.”

In other news, Ausmus declined to name his 25-man roster in part because of the status of injured outfielder Rajai Davis, who has pelvic strain.

“Rajai came in today, felt much better, but we’ve got to get past the point of his making some baseball moves in terms of running, exploding out of the box and taking swings, which he hasn’t done yet,” said Ausmus, who had until 10 a.m. today to make his final decision.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Clint Bowyer and wife Lorra became first-time parents Wednesday.

The NASCAR driver tweeted a photo of newborn son Cash Aaron.

Bow ye r, known for his wicked sense of h u m o r, posted on his account that his wife had rejected his first-choice name, Cletus Bocephus.

His fellow NASCAR drivers chuckled during a Wednesday appearance about the kind of father the high-energy Bowyer will be. Matt Kenseth joked their life will be like the Adam Sandler movie “Big Daddy” and that he’d be keeping his three young daughters away from Bowyer’s son.

Former teammate Kevin Harvick thought Bowyer getting used to parenthood would be outstanding reality television.

Said Harvick: “He’s going to be a great dad and seeing him adjust to it will be fun to watch for sure.”

Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling said the alleged assault took place early Sept.

Spillman’s agent, Ron Slavin, and attorney Bruce Ashworth declined to comment. The Cowboys didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

TORONTO — American soccer star Abby Wambach and a group of elite international players filed a lawsuit challenging plans to play the 2015 Women’s World Cup on artificial turf.

Led by U.S. national team forward Wambach, the players filed the suit at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal in Toronto, attorney Hampton Dellinger told The Associated Press.

The women claim that playing the sport’s premier tournament on fake grass amounts to gender discrimination under Canadian law.

Their male counterparts have always played the World Cup on natural grass surfaces and will for the foreseeable future.

The players say there is a greater risk of injury on artificial turf, and the surface

impacts both how the game is played and how the ball moves.

On Tuesday, a FIFA official visiting Canada ahead of the tournament next year said there were no plans to reconsider using artificial turf.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL New York player dies after collision in game ELWOOD, N.Y. — A high school football player has died after he collided with an opponent and collapsed during a game on Long Island.

Authorities say Tom Cutinella, a player for Shoreham-Wading River High School, died at a hospital Wednesday night after suffering a head injury during a game with John Glenn High School in Elwood.

A spokeswoman for the school districts told Newsday that Cutinella had been in the intensive-care unit after undergoing surgery.

Suffolk County police say the collision happened about 6 p.m. Cutinella, a guard/linebacker, was injured during the third quarter of the varsity game.

Dozens of teammates, relatives and friends waited at the hospital for an update on his condition. As news of his death spread, two people fell to the floor weeping.

GOLF Lewis takes lead in LPGA tournament in China BEIJING — Top-ranked Stacy Lewis birdied five holes on the back nine to shoot a 7under 66 in the first round of the Reignwood LPGA Classic today.

The American, who finished second to Shanshan Feng of China in last year’s inaugural tournament, had seven birdies overall. She was one stroke ahead of Caroline Hedwall of Sweden.

South Korean players Sun Young Yoo and Jenny Shin were tied for third place at 68.

Former No. 1 Yani Tseng found some of her old form to shoot a 4-under 69. The fivetime major winner has only had two top-10 finishes this year, causing her ranking to slip to No. 66.

Leagues move into full football swing Friday THE WORLD

against South Umpqua could ultimately be a battle for the league title.

As it is, the fourth-place team is in good shape for an at-large bid into the play-in round based on current rankings.

In the Sunset Conference, Friday’s biggest opening game is in Bandon, where the Tigers host Myrtle Point. The winner will have the inside track for one of the league’s three spots in the Class 2A playoffs, with Gold Beach and Reedsport also in the mix. The Panthers and Braves meet next week in Reedsport’s homecoming game.

Coquille, meanwhile, starts Mountain Valley Conference play Friday at home against Pleasant Hill.

Just like in the Sunset Conference, three Mountain Valley teams will make the Class 3A playoffs and the Red Devils would get a huge boost

with a victory against the dangerous Billies squad.

There’s a chance the league could get a fourth spot, too. There’s one atlarge bid to the highest ranked team that isn’t an automatic qualifier, though of course the Red Devils would rather get an automatic bid.

And in the Class 1A Mountain Skyline League, Powers can take a big step toward the league playoffs by beating nemesis Elkton.

The league is split into two divisions, and Powers needs to finish in the top three in the north division to reach the league playoffs.

The Cruisers already have one division win and would be in great shape with another victory Friday.

Watch for score updates Friday night on Twitter by following #coospreps or @ jguntherworld and @duckstheworld.

When all the games have kicked off Friday night, every South Coast football team will officially be in the midst of the playoff chase.

And in five weeks, we will know just which local teams are in the postseason.

Right off the bat, there are a few key games Friday.

The Far West League started its regular season last week, but has big games the next two weeks.

Arizona will focus on containing Mariota tonight CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS UCLA BRUINS

EUGENE (AP) — Last season Arizona went after Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota early and kept on hassling him.

Expect the same when the Wildcats visit the No. 2 Ducks tonight at Autzen Stadium.

“Last year, getting to Mariota early on in the game probably threw him off a little bit. It always helps when we come out on fire in all cylinders. But it’s a 60-minute game, and sometimes longer, so we need to try and keep the pressure on him and contain him the entire time,” Arizona senior safety Jared Tevis said.

The 42-16 rout last November was Arizona’s first over a top-five team since knocking off No. 2 Oregon in 2007.

The Wildcats intercepted

Mariota’s pass on his first play from scrimmage, ending his Pac-12 record streak of 353 passes without a pick.

Oregon’s quarterback finished with 308 yards passing with two touchdowns but two interceptions.

Mariota wore a brace on his knee in that game and later it was revealed that he had partially torn his medial collateral ligament in a game four weeks before.

Much like last season before his injury, Mariota is considered a leading Heisman candidate. He has thrown for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns with no interceptions. He’s also run for three scores.

“When watching him on film, the first and biggest thing that sticks out to me is his speed,” Wildcats defen-

sive lineman Dan Pettinato said. “He’s quick and I’ve seen him outrun defensive backs and linebackers. There are times when you’ll see him looking one way, and then he’ll end up escaping the opposite way.”

Mariota completed 21 of 25 passes for 329 yards and five touchdowns in Oregon’s last outing, a 38-31 victory over Washington State on Sept. 20.

Arizona also had a bye week after a dramatic comefrom-behind 49-45 victory over California, won when quarterback Anu Solomon hit Austin Hill on a 47-yard Hail Mary on the game’s final play.

Here are some other things to consider when Arizona visits Oregon on Thursday night.

Nebraska has big opportunity

Vikings face QB questions

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press You might say the Minnesota Vikings are pondering a quarterbacking dilemma.

Their veteran starter, Matt Cassel, is gone for the season with a broken left foot. First-round draft pick Teddy Bridgewater took over in his first pro last start Sunday and performed extremely well in a 41-28 win over Atlanta. But Bridgewater sprained his left ankle and had to leave late in that game.

That could leave Christian Ponder, the former starter and a 2011 first-rounder, as the starter tonight when the Vikings visit Green Bay. Even worse for Minnesota is that the Packers and Aaron Rodgers seemed to find their mojo in a romp at Soldier Field last weekend.

None of this bodes well for the Vikings (2-2), a 91⁄2point underdog to the Packers (2-2).

“If he can play, we’ll play him,” coach Mike Zimmer said of Bridgewater.

“I want to do what’s best for the team. I’m sure the training staff and the coaching staff is going to do what’s best for the team also,” Bridgewater said.

The Packers have no such issues, especially after Rodgers picked apart the

Pro Picks

GIANTS From Page B1 Overpowering one of the NL’s best lineups, Bumgarner walked one and threw 79 strikes in his latest stellar October performance. The big left-hander, who allowed only four singles, has thrown 15 scoreless innings in two World Series starts.

“We got outplayed tonight,” Pittsburgh second baseman Neil Walker said.

“Bumgarner went out there, he did what he wanted to do.

He put up the strike zone and he made it tough on us.”

Belt drove in three runs as the Giants padded the lead late. By then the black-clad crowd that began the night in a frenzy was watching in dismayed silence.

“We’ve been there before,” Belt said. “It’s a lot of fun when you’re on the road. ... You know you’re doing something good when the

NASCAR From Page B1 Busch is doing his best to get to Kansas with a strong mindset that he can pull out a strong finish. It worked for Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin last week.

Hamlin, who counts Dover among his most disliked tracks, finished 12th to stave off elimination.

“I don’t think we are out there to set the world on fire at Kansas,” Busch said. “A solid top-10 is what we need to get out of there with. I thought I was just starting to

crowd goes silent.”

Volquez was trying to cap his comeback season by sending Pittsburgh to the NLDS for the second straight year, but he couldn’t match Bumgarner.

The right-hander cruised until the fourth, when a pair of singles and a walk loaded the bases with none out. He’d retired Crawford 19 of the 22 times he’d faced him during his career.

It’s the 24th that he’ll remember.

“I tried to bounce it down, back foot, and the ball just kept going,” Volquez said.

“Bad spot.”

That was more than enough for Bumgarner.

Pittsburgh, fourth in the majors in extra-base hits this season, rarely hit the ball hard.

Bumgarner was helped by his defense, too. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval — all 245 pounds of him — flipped over the railing in front of the Pittsburgh dugout to track

down a foul popup off the bat of Russell Martin.

Sandoval landed on his feet, a perfect symbol of San Francisco’s seemingly endless resiliency when October rolls around.

Back in the playoffs after winning the World Series in 2010 and 2012, the Giants are looking to continue their every-other-year success.

Pittsburgh, on the other hand, was unable to duplicate last year’s victory over Cincinnati in the wild-card game that followed a 21-year playoff drought. Playing before raucous crowds at PNC Park, the Pirates pushed St. Louis to a decisive Game 5 before losing their NLDS. This year, Pittsburgh went 17-9 in September while taking the Cardinals to the final day of the season in an attempt to win the NL Central.

There will be no extended playoff stay this time after Crawford’s grand slam, the fourth in Giants postseason

history.

Shortstop had been the only position — including pitcher — without a slam in postseason play.

“That’s crazy,” Crawford said. “With all the great shortstops that have played before, that’s pretty special.

I’m happy to be able to do it.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Giants: OF Michael Morse was left off the wild-card roster while he recovers from a strained oblique that has sidelined him since Sept. 20.

Manager Bruce Bochy said the veteran would be activated “at some point” in the next round.

UP NEXT It’s on to Washington for the Giants, where they will face rookie manager Matt Williams and the Nationals.

Williams was once a star third baseman for San Francisco.

The Giants went 2-5 against Washington this season, getting outscored 41-30.

figure it out there on the old asphalt ... and once they repaved it, I haven’t been able to find my rear end with both my hands. I’ve definitely got to figure that out.”

The field has been reset since Dover last week and all drivers are again equal. That means everyone has caught up to Team Penske drivers Keselowski and Joey Logano, who won the first two Chase races, and Kevin Harvick, who has the fastest car seemingly every week.

It’s a comfortable spot for Kasey Kahne, who barely made the Chase and at one point was down four laps at

Dover and in danger of being eliminated. He raced his way back into the top 12 and feels good about this second round.

Kahne has an average finish of 13th at Kansas and has four career victories at Charlotte.

“I like this format a lot, this format was made for me,” he smiled Wednesday. “I like this round, looking forward to this round. I’m excited to get out there and get started, and then Charlotte is probably my best track for results.”

All 12 drivers will be trying hard to get a win the next two weeks to avoid the pressure

at Talladega. That goes for defending champion Jimmie Johnson, who has not led a lap in six races and has yet to show he’s again a threat to win his record-tying seventh title.

“I’m not necessarily scared of the round, but I’m scared of Talladega,” Johnson said. “Talladega in the Chase is not as fun as the Talladega spring race. I guess the only way it could change is for two fortunate racers who win the race at Kansas or Charlotte and roll on into Charlotte and have one of the better weekends of your life — just chill out and have some fun.”

In the most interesting and important Saturday of the college football season so far, no team faces a more crucial test than Nebraska.

The 19th-ranked Cornhuskers visit No. 10 Michigan State on Saturday with a chance to leap into national title contention.

It’s one of six games involving 12 ranked teams that will help sort out the playoff race.

There was a time that national title contention was a given for Nebraska. It’s been a while.

The Cornhuskers (5-0) haven’t started 6-0 since 2001, which was also the last time Nebraska played for the national championship.

Since then the Huskers have rarely been in the top 10 once fall rolls around.

The last time Nebraska was 5-0 was 2010. Those Huskers were ranked fifth heading into a game at home against Texas.

The Longhorns won 20-13.

Nebraska hasn’t been ranked better than eighth since then, and no better than ninth after September. The Huskers haven’t won a conference title since 1999 in the Big 12.

All that at least partially explains the skepticism about these Huskers. That and a way-too-close-forcomfort victory at home against McNeese State in September. against A victory Michigan State would go a long way toward changing the perception of Nebraska as a program stuck in a rut — better than most but no longer capable of being elite.

It also sets up the Huskers for a strong run into November.

Nebraska’s next three games: at Northwestern, Rutgers and Purdue.

And a big day by Huskers star Ameer Abdullah against the Spartans’ usually stingy defense would give the running back’s Heisman Trophy chances boost.

If Nebraska losses to Michigan State? Sure, the Huskers could bounce back and still win the Big Ten, maybe even make the college football playoff if everything lined up perfectly.

Realistically, though, this is Nebraska’s chance to get back on the big stage. A chance for Nebraska to look like Nebraska again.

BRIDGE Groucho Marx said, “A clown is like aspirin, only he works twice as fast.”

There is a bridge bid that is a strong aspirin because a player can show his hand twice as fast.

Look at today’s North hand. There are three passes around to South, who opens one heart. After West passes again, what should North respond?

North re-evaluates his hand because of the known heart fit. If you add short-suit points, the hand is worth 13 support points: 10 high-card points and three shortage points for the singleton. If you count losers, his

hand has seven. In either method, North is strong enough to insist on game.

The second-best response is a four-club splinter bid (if you use that gadget). Best, though, is a jump to three diamonds. By a passed hand, a single jump shift is called a fit-showing jump. In principle, North has a maximum pass, four-card heart support, five-plus diamonds and most of his points in those two suits. South then jumps to four hearts.

West leads the spade king. The defenders take three tricks in that suit before shifting to a club. How should South continue?

At first glance, declarer must guess whether to cash his heart ace (hoping East has the singleton king) or to lead dummy’s queen (hoping West has a singleton jack). However, look more closely. If East has the singleton king, West, with jack-nine-four, must take a trump trick.

Instead, South should cross to dummy and lead the heart queen.

Assuming East covers with his king, when West’s jack appears under South’s ace, declarer returns to dummy, finesses East out of his heart nine and claims.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2014 Make a pact with yourself. Keep your life in perspective and don’t get so bogged down with professional issues that you neglect personal matters. Take time to savor the little things. Nature and music both have relaxing properties. A romantic relationship will bring great fulfillment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t let anyone put you down. Deal with a hurtful comment quickly if it is causing you anguish. Make it clear that you don’t appreciate being treated poorly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Hesitation and self-doubt will deter you from making the gains that will help you feel good about who you are and what you do. Stop procrastinating and get moving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Show more determination; you have the strength to go the distance, so hit the ground running.

Close a deal or finish a project that you’ve left lingering. Don’t fold under pressure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You will be able to coax others into joining your cause. If you are vigilant, you will be able to take advantage of an opportunity. Keep your emotions in check, and be firm.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Strive to be the best you can be.

Keep your options open in order to take advantage of promising choices that will allow you to use your skills diversely. Master something that you enjoy doing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Read between the lines. False or conflicting information is apparent.

Ask questions to satisfy your curiosity and avoid ending up in a compromising or awkward position.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Reach outside the family circle if you need help. Emotions are bound to get in the way if relatives or friends try to give you advice. Look for an unbiased counselor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Difficulties may arise at work if you are drawn into a battle of wills with a colleague. Take the high road and stick to the facts. An emotional reaction will leave a bad impression.

The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council following a public hearing on October 14, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. in the Coos Bay City Council Chambers, 500 Central, Coos Bay, Oregon 97420.

places that have special meaning for you. Conjure up pleasant memories in order to gain some thoughtprovoking insight into where you are and where you want to end up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Trade shows or conventions will offer valuable information about starting your own business. Put yourself in the loop so that you can keep abreast of opportunities to highlight your skills and services.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Make the most of what you have. Whiling away the time hoping Lady Luck will fall in your lap is not the answer.

Hard work, dedication and persistence are required to advance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be tolerant of other people’s opinions. There is no need to get upset if things aren’t done your way. Trying to control everything will work against you.

SATURDAY, OCT. 4, 2014 This is the time to reinforce and restructure your plans. Get rid of anything that will slow your ascent to the top. Don’t listen to anyone who says you don’t have what it takes. Have confidence that you can conquer any opposition and succeed at any task.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Extra effort will go a long way. Your charisma and powers of attraction are in a high cycle, so step into the spotlight where you can be the center of attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If you believe in your ability, you will accomplish whatever you aim for. If you have faith in yourself and the courage to advance, you will reach your goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You should work and play cautiously in order to avoid minor mishaps and injuries. Don’t take shortcuts with safety equipment or instructions. Stick close to home and protect your property.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t give in to emotional blackmail. Finish what you start and

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions. Conduct due diligence to ensure that you are seeing things as they are, not as you would like them to be.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Uncertainty will surround you today.

An open and honest discussion will help you clear the air. Be on the lookout for things going on behind your back.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Consider purging not only items you no longer use, but also emotional baggage that you’ve been toting around. Don’t hang on to disappointments or beat yourself up over missed opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be careful with your financial information. A scam artist will hound you if you are too open about yourself and free with your cash.
