Help Santa meet kids’ needs at NB tree lighting BY KURTIS HAIR The World

NORTH BEND — Santa Claus will be coming to North Bend this Christmas, and this year he will be bearing gifts. For the second time, North Bend Police Chief Robert Kappelman will follow tradition and dress up as Santa at the annual North Bend Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony this December. But this year, Kappelman wants to make a

few changes. Kappelman wants the city to come together and make sure every child who comes to the event gets a gift bag full of toys and books. For Kappelman, who is in his second year as police chief, something happened in his first experience in serving as Santa at last year’s ceremony that made him wanted to change how the ceremony is done from here on out. “This one little kid came in,” Kappelman said. “He was a little

disheveled and clothes a little dirty. He crawled up in my lap, and I went through my dialogue with him. I asked him what he wanted for Christmas, and he looked up at me and says, ‘I would really like a toothbrush and some toothpaste.’” Kappelman said he was completely caught off guard. “I was absolutely stunned,” Kappelman said. “I was choking back tears, and I was trying to let him know that I’m not a choked up Santa Claus.”

After the boy left, Kappelman said it was time for a change for the lighting ceremony. In the past, the children would get a candy cane when they visited Santa. This year, Kappelman and the city of North Bend are asking the community to donate money so each child can get a gift bag full of toys, books and a toothbrush and toothpaste. Kappelman said he expects the city will need about $4,000 to make the effort happen.

“We need to try to get together and do something to help these kids without singling them out,” Kappelman said. “The only way we can do that is provide every kid with something.” Kappelman said checks should be made payable to the city of North Bend and designated to the Toothpaste Christmas Fund.

Zoning change recommended for Pacific Cove City council will vote on change for animal shelter Nov. 4 ■

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — After years of fundraising for a new shelter, the Pacific Cove Humane Society is a step closer to realizing its goal after the Coos Bay Planning Commission recommended a zoning change for their property Tuesday. The proposed zoning modification would change the property located at 3485 Vine Ave. in Coos Bay from a qualified residential-professional (QR4P) to a general commercial zone (C-2), which allows animal sales and service for a kennel with a conditional use permit. The structure, originally constructed as a church and residence, would not allow these services under residential zoning. The zoning modification will next go before a vote at the Nov. 4 city council meeting. In addition to recommending the zoning change, the planning commission amended an additional set of conditions recommended by staff for the humane society to meet. The commission unanimously voted to keep two of the requirements: securing structural and developmental permits as required by city, state and federal agencies and submitting a parking lot permit for review and approval before issuance.

Brian Graham and Rachel Dunn, owners of Flying Chicken Tattoo in North Bend, will be hosting the second year of their fundraiser, Ink Pink, to benefit Girls Fight Like Girls, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance for those battling breast cancer.

Ink Pink is back BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

NORTH BEND — In 2011, two women started a local organization called Girls Fight Like Girls to help area women fighting breast cancer be able to keep up with finances during treatment. De Dee Peterson and Shawna Griswold created the grass-roots

organization after seeing friends deal with those financial hardships that often accompany the battle against cancer. Their website, girlsfightlikegirls.org, says the goal is “to make sure that no one will miss a doctor’s appointment or treatment, lose housing or utilities, or go hungry because of cancer. We are a community based initiative with our main focus being smaller rural communities in and surrounding Coos County. However, as the charity grows we will begin to support counties and areas that request our services, as well as national charities that support cancer patients providing eligibili-

ty requirements are met.” Last year, the owners of Flying Chicken Tattoo decided to do what they could to help them out. The debut effort of the event, that they call Ink Pink, raised $2,400. Now, owners Rachel Dunn and Brian Graham are ready, with more than a little help from their friends once again, to try and top that number this year. Ink Pink 2014 will take place Thursday, Oct. 30, from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. at the business located at 2582 Broadway Ave., in North Bend. Like last year, they will offer specific tattoos, by appointment only, SEE INK | A8

PORTLAND — A year ago, John Kitzhaber looked invincible. Having just cut public pensions to sew up perhaps the biggest victory of his three decade political career, the Democratic governor was setting his sights on what looked to be an easy glide to re-election. But Kitzhaber’s pedestal was already

Although commission members Rex Miller and Philip Marler opposed, the commission voted to set a conditional limit of 50 dogs for the shelter. With the Pacific Cove Humane Society unable to provide an answer to questions of an occupancy limit, the commission considered the effects of having too many animals. “The way I see it, the greater number of dogs equals a greater impact,” Chairman Chris Hood said. “If this does get out of control, this is something we could look at for enforcement.” The conditional limit was found by keeping each of the 24 regular kennels from exceeding two dogs, with one dog being allowed in each of the two isolation kennels. While staff had recommended a requirement of building a solid wood fence at a minimum of five feet along the east property line to act as buffer between the subject property and residential zoned property, the commission unanimously voted to extend the fence requirement to six feet, the maximum height allowed without having to secure additional building permits. As part of the hearing, the planning commission heard public comments both in support and opposition of the zoning change. Kate Sharples, president of Pacific Cove Humane Society, spoke at length on the positive impacts the shelter would provide.

A new way to teach shows promise I’ve been reporting on educational developments for more than 65 years, but very seldom have I been as heartened by a discovery as in a September Cleveland Plain Dealer report from Rocky River, Ohio. In it, Jennifer Norman, the executive director of pupil services for the Rocky River City Schools in northeast Ohio, declares that the schools’ two-teacher model, or coteaching, now extends district-wide. Writes reporter Barb Galbincea: “Co-teaching focuses on language arts and math — pairing a learning specialist with a content specialist. That means that while teachers specializing in content are teaching, learning specialists are assessing whether students need extra help. “Kids in the co-taught classes can run the gamut from those with special needs to gifted students, who may require extra challenges to stay engaged” (“‘Co-teaching’ gains ground in Rocky River schools to better serve students,” Galbincea, The Plain Dealer, Sept. 18). Norman tells The Plain Dealer: “It’s totally needs-based, and it truly is a partnership.” Co-teaching, she adds, also offers “onthe-spot staff development.” The Plain Dealer’s Galbincea continues: “The content teacher may learn about better ways to present material so that students understand; the learning specialist can find out more about the subject and what goes on in the classroom.” NAT The Rocky River reveHENTOFF lations went on: “Norman said another Columnist benefit of co-teaching is that students of different abilities wind up in the same classroom, promoting a culture of inclusion and acceptance that can carry through high school.” You may have noticed that none of these co-teachers mention collective standardized tests as a determination of students’ undivided progress. From Rocky River schools we then hear from a number of the co-teachers.According to intervention specialist Daniea Beard, “the co-teaching model helps all learners and ... the teaching partners feed off each other. She said the effort has been challenging, but rewarding.” Beard tells The Plain Dealer: “The other ‘aha’ moment for me is seeing the social gains.” Here is a further dimension of co-teaching there: “Kara Truhan ... and her partner, Nichole Fach, stay after school one day a week — often into the early evening — to plan together.” Through co-teaching, Truhan says, “kids aren’t slipping through the cracks. I know we’re helping all of the kids.” Moreover, Fach “thinks students enjoy the chance to have two teachers.” What I would very much like to see Rocky River co-teachers focus on, beside language arts and math, is the exciting and very seldom taught history of what it takes to protect our basic identity as a nation — the Constitution — from presidents and Congresses who are too often uninformed of why we are Americans. I say “exciting” because, as I’ve often reported here, every single time I’ve told stories of the turbulent history of what makes us different from all other countries,students — from elementary school-age to graduatelevel — get excited. So much about our quintessential personal rights and freedoms is unknown to these individuals, who are from all sorts of backgrounds. Furthermore, John Whitehead, founder of civil liberties watchdog The Rutherford Institute, reminds us why constitutional history is imperative: “The Constitution has been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down,and generally discarded to such an extent that what we are left with today is but a shadow of the robust document adopted more than two centuries ago” (“An Unbearable and Choking Hell: The Loss of Our Freedoms in the Wake of 9/11,” Whitehead, rutherford.org, Sept. 15). Therefore, there must be additions to our schools’ teaching force — not only content specialists in all subjects of various curriculums and learning specialists for students who require individual attention and participation. There must also be frequent classroom guests who are veterans of the constant civil wars to enable the Constitution — and the reason for America’s existence — to survive. This addition to co-teaching would enliven our classrooms and would encourage members of each new generation to get involved in local, state and national governments. Imagine, for example, if we had such learned student bodies now and President Barack Obama were to appear before one of them. What an education that would be for him and, more importantly, for the next contenders for our presidency! Members of the media — in all its forms — should also be invited to attend these classes, for they, too, badly need an education in actual Americanism. Nat Hentoff is a nationally renowned authority on the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. He is a member of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

Letters to the Editor Dems coming to get your guns “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them (banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent, their fathers conquered.” Thomas Jefferson. The 1912 election gave Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) the presidency and Democrats took complete control of the government by gaining control over both the House and the Senate. On Oct. 3, 1913, they voted in the Revenue Act of 1913 (federal income tax), and Dec. 23, 1912, the Federal Reserve Act established 12 private regional banks. The record shows that there were no Democrats voting nay (against) in the Senate and only two in the House. Nearly all opposition to the creation of the Federal Reserve came from Republicans. From useconomy.com we learn that by 1920 the dollar had lost 50 percent of its value, and today it takes $23.63 to buy what one dollar would in 1913. “Since the recession, the rich have just gotten richer. In 2012, the top 10 percent of earners took home 50 percent of all the income, while the top 1 percent earned 20 percent of all income. Those are the highest percentages recorded, dating back at least 100 years.” (New York Times, Sept. 10, 2013). From 1913 to 1929 these banks printed and loaned out, at interest, huge sums of money. Much of it was used to speculate in the stock market. In October 1929, a margin call was made (demand to repay the loans) crashing the market and economy. In the ensuring fire sale, 200 corporations created by the banks bought up 6,000 American companies. Now the Democrats have something planned that requires that they get your guns and ammunition away from you. In the last session in Salem, Democrats attempted to shove 12 anti-gun bills down our throats, and Governor Kitzhaber is owned by the gun grabbers. Thomas Jefferson warned us about these people when he said, “Those that beat their guns into plows will plow for those that do not.” Harper Reeves Coos Bay

2nd Amendment still at risk Many of the readers of the Public Forum are aware of the transformation of this nation from a constitutional republic to a simple democracy, similar to that of the Soviet Union. This occurred in 1913 with the passage of the 16th and 17th Amendments, which gave the government the ability to tax the citizens and to effectively remove the individual power of the states by changing how our senators were selected. The duty of Congress to coin our money and determine the value thereof was transferred to a consortium of international bankers to be known as the Federal Reserve Board. We have now evolved into a two-party socialist state that is tightly controlled by this consortium. Our Congress has developed into a “in name only” two-party

system, the Rinos and Dinos, that takes up the bulk of their time pointing fingers at each other for the problems they have inflicted on the citizens of this nation. The costs involved in our election process precludes the viability of getting a third-party candidate on the ballot. The continuing attack on our Second Amendment becomes more obvious on a daily basis. The average citizen can tell you their favorite pitcher’s ERA, how many TD’s their quarterback passed for, or how many points their favorite basketball player averages per game. I would guess that less than 1 percent of those citizens can tell you how their congressman voted on the critical issues affecting our nation, and what is left of the Constitution. This information is available to everyone at state and federal websites. When Secretary of State John Kerry returned from a meeting of the United Nations earlier this year, he submitted a proposal to the Senate for our Second Amendment gun rights to be changed to conform to U.N. gun control. It failed to pass, but, surprisingly, only by four votes. This means that almost half of our senators are not supporting their oath of office. Both of our senators, Merkley and Wyden, voted to approve the change. This is a direct affront to all of our veterans who have served, been injured, killed or suffer from PTSD by honoring their oath to protect this nation and its Constitution, and should be considered an act of treason. Please consider this and vote accordingly! Frosty West Coos Bay

Coffee salute disrespectful This letter is in response to Sharon Ramirez’s letter of Oct. 4. First I must ask her if she has served in the military. Ms. Ramirez asks how far have we sunk since JFK. We have not sunk, but have had presidents cutting the military in half. Now we pull from the National Guard to do foreign duty; instead of national. I personally do not support our current president. I don’t think anyone states that the president needs to have a military background, but when it comes to customs and courtesies of all military units, it is a great asset. I am a retired Marine who spent part of my time in direct support of the president. Does this make me “right?” My oldest son served four years in the Marine Corps; my daughter, five years in the U.S. Navy; another son spent five years in the Marine Corps with two tours in Iraq and a tour in ground support to the helicopter squadron that flies the commander and chief and family to various locations. Tax payers pay the bills

for these trips in millions of dollars. Finally, my fourth son was a crew chief, taking care of the helicopters for the commander and chief. He then spent a tour of duty in Afghanistan and is still currently serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. All of my children, and hundreds more like them, from the Marine Corps, Army, Navy and Air Force have worked ungodly amounts of hours, with little pay and in harm’s way, to support out commander and chief. The Marine saluting the president at the helicopter deserved a proper salute to show respect for his hard work and dedication. It does not matter what their political affiliation is. What matters is that the military has a job to do and their sacrifices and dedication deserve a honorable gesture (a proper salute) of respect; not a cup of coffee. Allen Gardner Reedsport

Anonymous critics are cowards I have written many letters to the editor over the years and only twice have I received anonymous letters to my house in response to my published letters. The first anonymous letter dealt with the correct military protocol during the playing of the national anthem. That letter was in response to Obama being criticized for not placing his hand over his heart. More recently I received an anonymous letter with a copy of my latest letter to the editor that had the headline: Obama Criticism Not Deserved. At the bottom of this anonymous letter was a hand-drawn hammer and sickle. I presume this was the sender’s way of calling me a communist. What a pathetic, ineffective way of mounting an argument against mine. On the envelope my name and address were poorly typewritten, with my name misspelled, clearly by someone verbally challenged and unaccustomed to typing. In the published letter to the editor in question, I had stated that to the best of my memory only three presidents since 1932 had military history. Another letter to the editor writer corrected me. I have no military experience and I’m not a history buff. I stand corrected by someone who wasn’t afraid to sign his name to a letter. As to the anonymous letter writer who’s still caught up in the Cold War of the ‘50s, I guess this was an attempt to intimidate me with the fact that he or she knows my address. Cowards don’t intimidate me any more than name-calling. Sharon Ramirez North Bend

Elliott must be saved for schools My family has experienced 130 years living and working near the head waters of the West Fork of the Millicoma River, Elliott State Forest, Coos County, Oregon. I worked with foresters for 50 years, following existing forest practice laws, to generate revenue for the Common School Fund. Through the Endangered Species Act, lawyers on behalf of the environmental activists have devalued the trust implemented by the Enabling Act of 1859, which granted statehood to Oregon.

In 1929, 71,000 scattered acres of the remaining trust parcels were traded for federal forest land of equal value, and then was consolidated into the Elliott State Forest. This Common School Trust was transferred by the Senate, House and president of the United States and signed by the governor of Oregon. The same legislative and executive positions that created the Common School Fund then passed and approved legislation that took away the ability of the state to benefit from income for the fund. Governor Kitzhaber is acting irresponsibly by assuming the role of Superintendent of Public Schools while also serving on the State Land Board. Wearing all these hats, his decisions have caused the collapse of funding for the Common School Trust. Children’s Land Alliance Supporting Schools, CLASS, is a national organization representing individuals and agencies working to preserve the trusts that were established within the states and ensure they are able to generate monies for the trusts that remain in 30 states. Working with CLASS, my fiduciary duty for my grandchildren and the other children in Oregon is to work to restore the Elliott State Forest to a working,incomeproducing forest. North Bend School District 13 has allowed me to represent them in promoting the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project that would reimplement the 2011 Oregon State Management Plan for the Elliott State Forest. Douglas Timber Operators, a member organization headquartered in Douglas County, has proposed an additional alternative plan to allow the Elliott State Forest to be managed by a private management entity.

State Halloween cowgirl can leave her pistol at home DEAR ABBY: Halloween is around the corner, and my 7year-old daughter has decided to be a cowgirl. She wants the boots, the hat and the gun. Is it appropriate to let her have a holster and an obviously toy gun to accessorize her costume for trick-ortreating? She would not be taking that part of her costume to school on Halloween. DEAR I live in a part of the country where guns are an important part of our culture, but I am unsure how to proc e e d . JEANNE PHILLIPS — C O N F U S E D A B O U T HALLOWEEN IN MONTANA DEAR CONFUSED: Guns may be an important part of the culture where you live, but how do YOU feel about them? If it’s all right with you, and the weapon your child carries is obviously a toy, then there should be no problem as you take her from house to house collecting her goodies. But there is nothing wrong with a 7-year-old cowgirl not having a gun and holster as part of her costume. If you need verification, have her check out the character Jessie in the movie “Toy Story 2.” P.S. Having her not take a toy gun to school is wise because many schools have strict policies about weapons — including toy weapons — being brought on campus. DEAR ABBY: A female acquaintance recently asked me to submit a reference letter for her in order to help her in a custody battle with her ex-husband. She had problems with drugs and alcohol in the past, but has been sober for more than a year now. She wants the recommendation letter to reflect how much she has changed for the better. I didn’t know her a year ago and didn’t witness the change. Also, from what little I have seen, her parenting skills are questionable at best. How do I proceed? Ignoring her request isn’t an option because she has asked — multiple times. ACQUAINTANCE IN GEORGIA DEAR ACQUAINTANCE: Tell your acquaintance a version of what you have told me, that you’re not comfortable writing the letter because you have known her only a relatively short time and haven’t witnessed how far she has come. It’s honest. (Do not mention that you think her parenting skills are lacking if you would like to maintain the relationship.) DEAR ABBY: I often shop at a convenience store on the corner for various things. It is run by two men I see fairly often, but rarely talk to. I would like to thank them for being available nearly every hour of the week, yearI can How round. appropriately show my thanks? I think supporting their business might be the best way, but I’m not sure what else to do other than simply continue buying from them. Do you have any advice? — APPRECIATIVE IN ALBANY, N.Y. DEAR APPRECIATIVE: I believe that if people have something nice to say, they shouldn’t keep it inside. Tell the men their efforts are appreciated. I’m sure they’ll be pleased to know their hard work is recognized. Other than that, mention it to others who live in the area. It’s good publicity for the store, and it might increase their business.

Measure 87 would let Oregon judges teach for pay

The harvest of hazelnuts and wine grapes has overflowed plenty of bins in the last month or so for central Douglas County growers. The sweeping up of nuts and grape picking started and finished earlier this year than in past years because of the hot, dry weather. These are two crops that have gradually grown in acreage in Douglas County over the past couple of decades.

Good season for hazelnuts in Douglas County ROSEBURG (AP) — The harvest of hazelnuts and wine grapes has overflowed plenty of bins in the last month or so for central Douglas County growers. The sweeping up of nuts and grape picking started and finished earlier this year than in past years because of the hot, dry weather. These are two crops that have gradually grown in acreage in Douglas County over the past couple of decades. Steve Renquist, a horticulture specialist with the Oregon State University Extension Service in Roseburg, said there are approximately 1,500 acres of vineyards and 220 acres of hazelnut orchards. “The grape yields seem to be like last year — real heavy, real nice,” Renquist said. “I think it was slightly larger than what people thought it was going to be. We’ve had such wonderful heat and sunshine, those elements allow for an excellent crop and quality.” Renquist also described the hazelnut harvest as “real nice.” He said there was a heavy set on trees, and after a December freeze, the weather was mild, allowing for plenty of nuts to develop through the year. With both the grapes and nuts, Renquist said the quantity of the two products and the stress created by hot

weather may have impacted the size of the commodities, but only slightly. That’s an important factor for the nut growers because they make a premium price on larger sized hazelnuts. Earl Jones, owner of Abacela Winery near Winston, said his wine grape crop was one of the best for his vineyard. “Not every year do we have quality and quantity, but this year we bingoed on both those,” he said. “It’s such a fabulous year for grape growing and wine making. It just doesn’t get any better than it is this year.” He said the growing season started earlier than normal with the bud break process occurring in March, three weeks ahead of what has been normal. “That gave us a nice long growing season,” Jones said. “It’s been rain with very little rain. There’s been no disease to speak of. It’s been a fabulous growing year.” at Brandborg Terry Brandborg Vineyard and Winery in Elkton said that the harvest of grapes in that area was pretty much complete, adding that harvest was two to four weeks earlier than past years. “It’s the first time we’ve picked with sunshine left in the year,” he said. He explained the sunshine ripened more grapes at once

so there was a three-week push to pick those compared to six-week ripening periods in past years. “I’m really loving the quality,” Brandborg said. “The quality and flavors seem really excellent across the board. Some years are better than others and this year looks excellent. I think everybody is going to make great wines in 2014. “This is a delightful time of year,” he added. “Everybody is exhausted, but happy with the outlook.” The county’s hazelnut growers are also happy with their harvests. Norm Lehne at Norm Lehne Garden and Orchards in the Garden Valley area said the crop from his 17 acres of trees was a little bigger than normal. He said the overall size of the nuts was “just a hair smaller than last year.” Bill Miller, who has a 38acre nut orchard near Umpqua, said he had a “high quantity harvest.” Both Lehne and Miller are pleased with the hazelnut prices. They sell their crops to Northwest Hazelnut in Hubbard. “The market has been strong for the last four years and it is stronger this year,” Miller said. “The demand is up and the price is up.” Oregon’s hazelnut growers produce about 5 percent of the world’s crop.

EUGENE (AP) — Voters in Oregon are being asked this November to allow state judges to teach for pay at public colleges or serve parttime in the Oregon National Guard. The state constitution generally prohibits people from paid service in more than one branch of government at the same time. Judges can teach at the private Willamette University or Lewis & Clark College in Portland, which has law programs, but not at the University of Oregon law school, which is an arm of the executive branch. Measure 87 would ease the state constitution’s separation of powers clause to allow state judges to serve part-time in the Guard or teach for pay at a public university. An exception to the rule already allows legislators to work in state-funded schools. The measure has drawn no formal opposition, but several county-level Republican party groups across the state have recommended a “no” vote, The Register-Guard reported. Both Willamette and Lewis & Clark have employed and paid multiple sitting state judges to work as professors. The proposal could benefit the University of Oregon, the only public university in

Suit: DA’s office firing was politically motivated

BEND (AP) — The brother of a Central Oregon mayor says he was unfairly fired when he couldn’t get the mayor’s support for the re-election campaign of former Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty. Bruce Endicott is suing both Flaherty and the county, The Bulletin in Bend reports. Neither Flaherty nor Endicott could be reached Saturday by The Associated Press. Endicott says in his defamation lawsuit that Flaherty only hired him as office administrator because of his political connections — Endicott’s brother, George Endicott, is mayor of nearby Redmond. According to the complaint, Flaherty sought the mayor’s support. When the mayor didn’t get behind his campaign and Flaherty lost, Bruce Endicott says he was against the three employees, fired. Bruce Endicott is seeking an administrative specialist alleging defamation $750,000, and two property control and intentional interference specialists. with economic relations. The city placed the employees on paid administrative leave during last year’s investigation.

Endicott is one of several former employees who have filed suit against the former district attorney. When Flaherty took office in 2011,he soon fired five of the office’s prosecutors. Three of them — Phil Duong, Brentley Foster and Jody Vaughan — filed suit against Flaherty for $22 million, alleging wrongful termination, sex discrimination, unfair labor practices and violations of their First Amendment rights. They agreed to a $710,000 settlement in July 2013. In January, Flaherty settled a lawsuit with a former employee who alleged she was wrongfully fired. Flaherty fired Sharon Sweet in October 2011, saying the investigator’s work was not “consistently above expectations” and she violated personnel rules by not disclosing her involvement in a romantic relationship with another investigator. Sweet said the DA created a hostile work environment for employees who exercised their right to protected speech.

PORTLAND (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard is scheduled to attend a community meeting in Newport today about the pending closure of one of its three air facilities along the Oregon coast. Oregon Public Broadcasting says 40 to 50 missions that are flown out of the Newport facility every year will be re-routed to North Bend or Astoria.

Captain Todd Trimpert, who heads up the agency in southern Oregon, says there are no plans to add additional resource there and response times likely will increase. Members of Oregon’s Congressional delegation have expressed their concern over the facility’s closure. The closure is scheduled Nov. 30.

$2 billion fundraising effort at U. of Oregon EUGENE (AP) — The University of Oregon has announced a $2 billion fundraising campaign and says it has more than $700 million in commitments so far. The Oregonian reports that a primary goal of the ambitious effort announced Friday night will be hiring top scholars and researchers for the UO’s “clusters” of academic excellence. The campaign is also expected to fund scholarships and provide support for students, faculty fellowships, expanded programs and research and capital construction. The university launched what it calls the public phase of the campaign at an event at Hayward Field in Eugene that drew more than 700 people. Interim President Scott Coltrane announced the goal during an event that featured videos and testimonials about past achievements and future potential for the university.

Sherwood family killed in crash SISTERS (AP) — The Sherwood family killed in a crash on Highway 20 near Santiam Pass had left their 6-year-old son behind with a friend.

Auditor: Workers decorated with evidence Boil-water notice EUGENE (AP) — lifted for Gresham Investigators found rape kits, drugs, cash and a human skull among 1,000 missing items from a Eugene police evidence warehouse. One worker allegedly used evidence to decorate her cubicle and seized fertilizer to feed office plants. The policy violations spelled out against three Eugene police employees last year have been upheld by the city’s police auditor this week. The Eugene RegisterGuard reports criminal charges were never filed

GRESHAM (AP) — Residents in Gresham neighborhood can now drink tap water without boiling it first, after the city lifted a limited boil water notice. The city said Sunday that results from water quality tests showed no bacteria. The boil-water notice had affected about 130 homes in south central Gresham. The city issued the boil advisory as a precaution after a pump at the site failed. The city said the pump was fixed and water was restored to the area.

the state with its own law school, the newspaper said. State Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, is the chief sponsor of the measure, which was put on by state lawmakers and not signature-collecting petitioners. He said Lane County Circuit Judge Karsten Rasmussen brought the issue to his attention. Rasmussen is the only sitting judge who teaches classes at the University of Oregon’s law school, although he does so as a volunteer, the RegisterGuard reported. Rasmussen in 2013 urged the Senate to refer the measure to voters, saying that students attending Oregon public universities deserve to benefit from classes taught by sitting judges. David Schuman, a semiretired senior judge with the Oregon Court of Appeals who lives in Eugene, told the newspaper that students who enroll in classes taught by judges “get a real, in-thetrenches perspective on the judicial process.” The Lane County Republicans oppose the measure, saying current law should be retained to ensure that state court judges avoid any conflicts of interest in their judicial decisions, according to the group’s website.

In love, it’s not easy to talk about money Money is the most difficult subject to discuss between two people in love. Why? Several reasons: It’s personal. We’re taught as children to never ask how much people earn, what things cost or how much money people have. It’s rude; it’s poor manners; and it is just not done. We spend the first two decades of our lives keeping anything related to money hushhush. We EVERYDAY to CHEAPSKATE learn skirt the truth in the interest of personal decorum. W e grow up, enter a relationship and Mary find that Hunt it’s not easy to suddenly talk about such personal information. I t ’ s n o t f l a t t e r i n g . We wear clothes that flatter our good points and downplay our flaws. We snap a “selfie,” and then retake as many times as necessary to get it just right. We take great pains to present ourselves in the very best light. And when forced to talk about financial issues, well, we do the same thing. We bend the truth or we omit certain details that don’t make us look that great. It’s terrifying. If you’re like most people, you’re not sure of your financial situation. At. All. You may be always just two steps ahead of a total financial meltdown. If you share that kind of information, your beloved may not think you’re such a great catch. You feel that you must be careful here, keeping your terror under wraps. After all, once you get married and have twice the income to pay for half the expenses (being in love does funny things with math), things will be awesome in no time at all. Don’t cause any waves. Stay calm and carry on. Everything is sure to turn out right. Money touches every area of life in some way. If you and your sweetheart get your money attitudes straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in your lives. Ask these three questions to cut through all of this and get right to what you need to know: 1. May I see your credit report, please? If he or she hands it right over, great! You need to reciprocate without question. Trading credit reports will get everything on the table, perhaps even things you did not know existed. Yes, it is scary, and yes, it may be the most difficult thing you will ever do together as you build your relationship. And the most beneficial. 2. Who handled the money in your home when you were a child? Why this is important: Let’s say you discover than your fiancee’s dad took care of all the bills in a “behind closed doors” fashion so her mother never had to worry her pretty little head about a thing. If her daddy provided in this way, it is quite possible she assumes the same will be true of her marriage and home. And vice versa. Of course, there are all kinds of possible scenarios here, but it’s a great question for you to ask each other to get the conversation started. 3. “In every relationship/marriage there is a saver and a spender.” Does our relationship fit that statement? Which are you? Which do you believe I am? Don’t hide. Just because you might be the spender doesn’t mean you are a spendthrift — or if you are the saver, that you hoard money. No, it just means you have an attitude or bent toward that way of thinking. Truth be told, the best combination in a marriage is a spender and a saver. This creates balance when both are committed to full transparency and complete honesty. Asking and answering simple questions can give both of you the assurance and confidence you need to move your relationship to the next level.

NEWS D I G E S T US airdrops to Kurds in Kobani WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military says it has airdropped weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to Kurdish forces defending the Syrian city of Kobani against Islamic State militants. The airdrops Sunday were the first of their kind and followed weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani, near the Turkish border. The U.S. said earlier in the day that it had launched 11 airstrikes overnight in the Kobani area. In a statement, U.S. Central Command said U.S. C-130 cargo planes made multiple drops of arms and supplies provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq. It said they were intended to enable continued resistance to Islamic State efforts to take full control of Kobani.

Nazis got millions in Social Security OSIJEK, Croatia (AP) — Dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and SS guards collected millions of dollars in U.S. Social Security benefits after being forced out of the United States, an Associated Press investigation has found. The payments, underwritten by American taxpayers, flowed through a legal loophole that gave the U.S. Justice Department leverage to persuade Nazi suspects to leave the U.S. If they agreed to go, or simply fled before deportation, they could keep their Social Security, according to interviews and internal U.S. government records. Among those receiving benefits were armed SS troops who guarded the network of Nazi camps where millions of Jews perished; a rocket scientist who used slave laborers to advance his research in the Third Reich; and a Nazi collaborator who engineered the arrest and execution of thousands of Jews in Poland.

Police hunt for clues near remains CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — After finding remains that could be University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, authorities interviewed nearby residents and picked through leaves on the side of a sparsely populated highway, searching for any clues or evidence. Forensic tests were needed to confirm whether the remains the 18-year-old match Graham. They were discovered by a deputy Saturday in a heavily wooded area of Albemarle County that is home to horse farms about 12 miles from campus. Graham disappeared Sept. 13 after a night out with friends. Her parents were notified that the remains were found, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said. It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how long it would take for them to be identified.

Justices will decide case on hotel records WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to referee a dispute over police access to hotels’ guest information without first getting a search warrant. The justices said they will hear an appeal by the city of Los Angeles of a lower court ruling that struck down an ordinance that requires hotel operators to open their guest registries at the demand of police. The federal appeals court in San Francisco divided 7-4 in ruling that the ordinance violates the privacy rights of the hotels, but not their guests. Courts in other parts of the country have upheld similar laws.

Pay raises rarer despite strong hiring WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. businesses were much less likely to boost pay in the third quarter than in previous months, even as hiring remained healthy, a sign that wage gains may remain weak in the coming months. A quarterly survey by the National Association for Business Economics found that only 24 percent of companies increased wages and salaries in the July-September quarter. That’s down from 43 percent in the April-June quarter and the first drop after three straight increases.

The Lake County coroner’s office said three of the bodies were found Sunday night at two locations in Gary, a city about 30 miles southeast of Chicago, while the other four bodies were found earlier over the weekend. The coroner’s office called the new deaths homicides, with one victim strangled and unspecified injuries for the other two women. At least three of the bodies were found in the same abandoned home in Gary, according to the coroner’s office. It wasn’t immediately clear Monday whether the man directed police to the three bodies Sunday night. Phone and email messages seeking comment from Gary police spokeswoman Cpl. Gabrielle King weren’t immediately returned. Police said Sunday that a 43-year-old man confessed to killing a woman whose body was found in a Motel 6 in the neighboring city of Hammond and told investigators where the bodies of three other women could be found in abandoned homes in Gary. Gary police found the bodies of three women at different locations in Gary late

Saturday and early Sunday, following up on information the man provided during questioning, Hammond police Lt. Rich Hoyda said Sunday. Hoyda wouldn’t comment on how the man knew the women, on a possible motive or on whether the man confessed to killing any of the other women. The county coroner’s office identified the victim found in Hammond as 19year-old Afrika Hardy and ruled her death a strangulation. A second victim has been identified by family members as 35-year-old Anith Jones of Merrillville, who had been missing since Oct. 8, the Post-Tribune of Merrillville reported. Jones’ body was found at the same address where two other bodies were found Sunday night. Autopsies are pending on those three women. Police discovered Hardy’s body about 9:30 p.m. Friday at a Motel 6. “A friend of the deceased called us, and she was concerned when she didn’t respond to her calling,” Hoyda said. “We were sent there and found that person dead.” Police investigating her death obtained a search warrant for a home and vehicle in Gary. Police conducted the search Saturday afternoon and took the man into custody. Hoyda said the man confessed during questioning and then told investigators “where several other female victims of possible homicide were located.”

Abadi told reporters after emerging from the meeting with the cleric, who is believed to be 86 years old. “One of the missions is related to security. We need arms and we need to reconstruct our security forces.” Al-Sistani lives in the Shiite holy city of Najaf, 100 miles south of Baghdad, and rarely appears in public. The day’s attacks killed dozens in Baghdad and the Shiite holy city of Karbala. In the capital, the bomber blew himself up among Shiite worshippers as they were leaving a mosque in a central commercial area after midday prayers Monday. That blast killed at least 17 people and wounded 28, a police officer said. In Karbala, four separate car bombs went off simultaneously, killing at least 26 people and wounding 55, another police officer said.

Obama switches gears on Ebola WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama delayed acting on immigration and an attorney general nomination this fall to dodge the politics of the midterm campaign season. But there was one topic he could not push aside — Ebola. The past week’s jarring Ebola developments have put a spotlight on the president’s management skills just as he was earning praise for acting militarily against Islamic militants. In recent months, Obama caught criticism for going golfing immediately after speaking about the beheading of an American, and for attending a fundraiser after an airliner was shot down in Ukraine. This time, as the Ebola threat hit home in America, the president suddenly cleared his schedule, canceling travel and appearances to consult with Cabinet members and talk with world leaders about how to contain the epidemic. By Friday, he had named a point man for the U.S. response just as the clamor for an Ebola “czar” was nearing fever pitch. “They are resisting their usual impulse to hunker down and wait it out,” said Jim Manley, a former top aide to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid who has in the past consulted with the White House. “This time they’ve decided to switch gears if only because it hasn’t worked in the past.” The week began with the news that a nurse in Dallas had become the first known case of Ebola being transmitted within the United States. By week’s end, a second nurse had been diagnosed, and the hunt for possible exposures expanded from Texas to Ohio, from multiple domestic airline flights to a cruise ship denied a port-ofcall in the Caribbean. White House officials say the president’s approach this time reflected the unfolding, real-time developments that needed ongoing decisions to help reassure an increasingly alarmed public. Seeing the issue spiral, White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged “shortcomings” in the federal response and Obama himself had to call on his government to react in “a much more aggressive way.” Still, that didn’t stop the second guessing, even within his party.

which focuses on animal friendly training and behavior modification. “Our goal for these animals is to be adoptable and ready to move into a loving home,” Sharples said. While some of the opposition voiced concerns over the potential for noise nuisances, the animal group rebutted the claim, citing the first level of Open Paw training, which teaches dogs to stay quiet when someone

stands in front of their kennel. The first level of the training can be completed in as little as one hour and the shelter hopes to have all animals ready for adoption within a week of intake.

GOVERNOR

Rather than having doctors work independently from each other and paying them for each procedure they perform, the state forced them to work together and tied payments in part to the health of their patients. He also convinced President Barack Obama’s administration to give Oregon nearly $2 billion in startup costs, promising an equal amount of savings later. The state saw early success in reducing the number of emergency room visits and increasing primary care uti-

lization, although patients are reporting long wait times. With a fourth term, he says he’d like to expand the care model to teachers and public employees. On education, Kitzhaber pressed to expand his own power. He eliminated the elected position of superintendent of public instruction and created a new oversight board — which he appoints and chairs — to manage education policy and funding from preschool through college.

NASCAR

Keselowski advances with victory TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Brad Keselowski refused to be knocked down — not by Matt Kenseth, who jumped him from behind after a disastrous race at Charlotte, and not by garage-wide condemnation over his post-race meltdown. He kept his head up and arrived at Talladega Superspeedway determined to shake off a bad week that earned him a $50,000 fine from NASCAR and moved him to the edge of elimination in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Only a win would keep his title hopes alive. Only the toughest of drivers could tune out everything that had happened and ignore the weeklong chorus of criticism from his peers. Keselowski pulled it off Sunday with an improbable victory that moved him into the third round of the Chase. He used a push from Team Penske teammate Joey Logano on a restart in overtime, and then got last-lap coverage from, who else? Kenseth. “I know there’s probably some people out there that aren’t really happy I won. I can understand that. But I’m a man like anyone else and not real proud of last week. But I’m real proud of today,” said Keselowski, who found comedic relief in his assist from Kenseth. “It was funny how this racing world works out. I don’t know why it is that way. I don’t know why it seems like every week where there’s either a fight in the garage or a mishap or something like that happens, those two cars and people end up together.” His professionalism under attack and his season slipping away, Keselowski still managed to focus on the difficult task at hand. He was in a three-way race to Victory Lane with six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., all three needing to win to stave off elimination. SEE NASCAR | B2

Pirates capture tournament title BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield volleyball coach Tammie Montiel described the Pirates’ situation late Saturday afternoon as a “gut check.” The Pirates had just given up a late lead and fallen to Hidden Valley 26-24 in the first game of the championship match at the Marshfield Invitational. Montiel wanted to see how her team would respond. The answer: with flying colors. Marshfield stormed back to win the second game 25-14 and then built a big lead in the third game and held on to win 15-12 and take the tournament title for the second time in three years. “Losing the first game was a real gut check and they came out ready to go,” Montiel said. The win capped a great day for the Pirates, who swept through their three pool matches and then beat Myrtle Point and Tillamook in straight sets to reach the championship match and, ultimately, the big victory over the Mustangs. “That is mind-blowing excitement,” said Carli Clarkson, who had a key block and then a key kill

Marshfield sophomore Shaylynn Jensen sets the ball during the Pirates’ match against Cottage Grove at the Marshfield Volleyball Invitational on Saturday. late in the decisive third game. “They are a really good team and it is really exciting to go out and compete with a team like that.” Hidden Valley is among the top teams in the Class 4A power rankings, which made the victory even better. “It gives us an idea of what the

No. 3 team in the state is like,” Clarkson said. The Pirates led the final game 9-2 before Hidden Valley rallied. But just when the Mustangs appeared to have momentum, Abby Clough came up with a huge kill for Marshfield and Hailee Woolsey followed with a match-

clinching spike. “It was awesome,” Woolsey said. The powerful outside hitter said she was especially pleased with how Marshfield bounced back after losing the first game to the Mustangs. “It felt really good to come back the second game and keep them to a low score, too,” Woolsey said. The third game might have been filled with a little more drama than the Pirates wanted, but Woolsey said she wasn’t scared as the Mustangs rallied. “You can’t let the nerves creep in, because when you do that, you play timid,” she said. Woolsey finished the day with 58 kills for the Pirates, wh i l e C l o u g h h a d 37 a n d Clarkson 28. Shaylynn Jensen had 20 kills, 15 aces and 90 assists and Gabby Bryant had a team-best 49 digs. Marshfield’s biggest challenge before the championship match came from Myrtle Point, which extended the Pirates to extra points in the second game after losing the first 25-11. The Bobcats even had one game point before falling 29-27. SEE TOURNEY | B3

Freeman carries Ducks past Huskies BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

EUGENE — With Oregon’s 45-20 blowout against rival Washington already well in hand early in the fourth quarter, Royce Freeman stood in the corner of the end zone fresh off a 3yard touchdown scuttle, nonchalantly flipped the ball to the referee, then beckoned his teammates over to congratulate him. Freeman somehow made the experience of scoring a touchdown seem blasé. He did what every coach tells a player to do when they score; act like you’ve been there before. And Saturday, Freeman had. The Ducks redshirt freshman running back crossed the goal line a career-high four times Saturday and tallied 169 yards (also a personal best) as the Ducks cruised to their 11th straight win against their rival from to the north. “Royce is Royce, I don’t know how to explain it,” Freeman’s quarterback Marcus Mariota said. Mariota went 24-for-33 for 336 yards and two touchdowns, which for the Heisman Trophy candidate has started to become ho-hum during Oregon’s 2014 campaign. “He has such a high ceiling. We’re very excited about that guy and we obviously have all the confidence in the world in that guy.” Oregon proved that conviction through Freeman’s workload, handing the ball off to their freshman horse 29 times on the day, the most from an Oregon back since Kenjon Barner had 30 in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. And Freeman delivered. The first touchdown was a 37-yard jaunt that saw Freeman run straight up the gut, bullet through a collapsing line and then outrun the Huskies secondary to the end zone. On the first play of the second quarter, Freeman’s next score came off a lateral from Mariota — who was being dragged down by a pair of Husky defenders — to scamper in for a 3-yard touchdown, capping a tactical 17-play drive. His third score was just a short 1-yard plunge, but it finished off a 99-yard drive with 8:17 left until half, giving Freeman a hat trick before the first 22 minutes of play and putting Oregon up 21-6. Freeman reached the end zone a fifth time on a 5-yard sweep rush in the fourth quarter, but it was called back for a holding penalty. “You saw some of his elusiveness that was legendary in fall camp,’’ Oregon coach Mark

Royce Freeman celebrates one of his three touchdown runs against Washington on Saturday. Helfrich said of his emerging star in the backfield. Saturday was a follow up to Freeman’s brilliant performance last week in a 42-30 win against UCLA where he had 121 yards (the first 100-yard game from any Oregon back this season) on 18 carries and two touchdowns. As young as Freeman is (he’s 18), his demeanor and hearing him speak curbs any surprise of why he’s so comfortable in the spotlight. He seems to not want to let his age be a deterrent on his development, something Freeman perceives as a vital to success. “You can’t go in there with that mind-set because the other team doesn’t really care (about your age),” Freeman said matter of factly. “I’m just going out there and still getting adjusted to the game speed, but it’s coming along.”

Byron Marshall, who has been moved from running back last year to play more in the slot (partially because of the emergence of Freeman) provided the type of ‘explosion’ plays the Ducks are known for. Marshall made a simple out route into a highlight reel 27-yard touchdown, back-stepping two Husky defenders and watching them fly in front of him before putting his head down at the 5-yard line and bulldozing through the goal line. Marshall had 10 total touches (five carries, five catches) for 78 yards and the score, which is all the more better given the opponent. “U-Dub hates us and we hate U-Dub,” Marshall said. “There’s no lack of a rivalry there.” SEE DUCKS | B2

DUCKS

Three Hendrick drivers miss cut From Page B1 It was Keselowski who grabbed the checkered flag. “I’ll take the 50 grand and the win this week, wouldn’t you?” said Keselowski team owner Roger Penske. The owner and driver can just take the fine out of the winner’s check of $288,361. But Penske, winner of the IndyCar title this year with Will Power, strongly defended the driver who gave him his first career Cup title two seasons ago. “These guys are jealous of the job he’s done this year,” Penske said. “He’s won six races. He’s made poles. He’s been up front. Nobody likes to see a guy win like that. “I want him to get mad. I don’t want him to take it. We talked about it (last week). I said, ‘Brad, put it in the rearview mirror.”’ Logano and Kevin Harvick, the winners of the first two races in the second round, also advanced to the third three-race round along with Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Hamlin and Kenseth. The field will be cut to four after the ninth race. Points are reset after each round and the title will be decided by finishing order in the Nov. 16 finale at Homestead. After the race, NASCAR said Newman’s car failed inspection because it was too low on both sides of the back of his Chevrolet. Penalties will likely be issued Tuesday, but that infraction typically is docked 15 points. Newman holds a 27-point lead over Kasey Kahne, who was eliminated Sunday. The much-anticipated championship battle between Team Penske and Hendrick Motorsports took a major hit. Penske got both Keselowski and Logano into the third round, but Hendrick had three of its four drivers eliminated Sunday.

Brad Keselowski, center, celebrates in Victory Lane with team owner Roger Penske, left, after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. Only Gordon advanced. “Great teams, great drivers, great friends. I hate to see them not in there,” Gordon said about Johnson, Earnhardt and Kahne. “I really thought the chances of two of them getting in were very good, and certainly one of them. I thought two of us would be in there, and I thought there’s a decent chance three could be there.” Hendrick and Penske drivers combined for 17 wins in the first 26 races, and have dueled all season as the top two organizations in NASCAR. “We’ll just go and try and win some races before the year’s out,” Earnhardt said. “That all we’ve got left.” But Talladega, one of only two tracks in NASCAR that requires horsepower-sapping restrictor plates and most of the field runs in one giant pack, is a crapshoot. One slip can trigger a massive accident, and a drivers’ fate often comes down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s what happened to Kyle Busch, who entered the race ranked second in the 12driver field but was the fourth driver eliminated from

the Chase because he was caught in an early accident. He was hit from behind, had to go to the garage for repairs and finished 40th on Sunday. “We are destroyed. We are absolutely killed,” said Busch, who appeared to be hit by Austin Dillon. “I got wrecked from behind. We are done.” The drivers in danger of elimination paced the early parts of the race. Keselowski had to drop to the back of the field at the start for an unapproved change to his Ford, but he picked his way through traffic and made it to the front of the field to lead. Johnson and Earnhardt also charged to the front, and the three drivers who needed to win tried to set the early pace of the race. Only Keselowski was where he needed to be at the end. Johnson, who now has to look ahead at chasing No. 7 in 2015, perched himself on the window of his car and watched Keselowski’s postrace celebration. “We had a chance and came up short,” Johnson said. “We have to make the best of ‘15. We have a chance to finish fifth in points, which

Martin earns first PGA victory THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — Ben Martin made a 45-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole that sent him to his first PGA Tour victory Sunday in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Martin was one shot behind Kevin Streelman his when eagle put him back in the lead. He closed with a birdie for a 3-under 68 and a twoshot victory at the TPC Summerlin. Moments after Martin made his eagle putt, Streelman missed a 5-foot birdie putt that would have tied him for the lead. Streelman still made five birdies over his last seven holes for a 65. Martin finished at 20under 264. The victory sends him back to the Masters. Martin played Augusta National in 2010 as the U.S. Amateur runner-up. Russell Knox was third at 16 under after a 70. Webb Simpson, the 2013 winner, was 15 under along with Jimmy Walker and Brooks Koepka. Simpson and Koepka shot 68, and Walker had a 69.

Sports TOURNEY Coquille loses in consolation final From Page B1 “They fought for it that second game, that’s all I can ask of them,” Myrtle Point coach Tami Brown said. Myrtle Point, which clinched the Sunset Conference title Thursday night, hopes to keep its skills sharp before the Class 2A playoffs. “They’re a good 2A team,” Clarkson said.

Three of the eight teams that advanced to the championship bracket were from the South Coast. Siuslaw lost its quarterfinal match to Tillamook. Among the other four local teams, Coquille had the best afternoon. The Red Devils finished third in their morning pool, and were relegated to the consolation bracket. Once there, Coquille swept North Bend and South Umpqua to reach the consolation final, where the Red Devils beat Del Norte in the first game before the Warriors rallied to win the last two.

“They wore us out,” Coquille coach Dondi Howard said. “You’ve got to learn to attack when you’re tired and (we) didn’t.” Still, Howard said she was pleased with how the Red Devils played in the afternoon after they didn’t play well in the morning pool, finishing third behind Siuslaw and Sheridan. “We’ll learn from today and get ready for Harrisburg,” Howard said of her team’s big match Tuesday at home. North Bend also has a big week, with critical matches at home Monday against

Douglas and at Siuslaw on Tuesday. Coach Les Willett said he was pleased with the Bulldogs’ effort against Coquille after they were swept in all three of their pool matches. “We didn’t play well at all this morning,” Willett said. Reedsport also was eliminated in the first round of the consolation bracket after the Braves came agonizingly close to reaching the championship bracket. Playing in the same pool as North Bend, the Braves swept the Bulldogs, were swept by Hidden Valley and

split with Tillamook. The Cheesemakers got the second berth in the championship bracket because they scored more points than the Braves — 127 to 121 — in the pool matches. Reedsport coach James Hixenbaugh said that might have led to his team having a letdown in its consolation match with Del Norte, a 2520, 25-22 loss for the Braves. “We didn’t play well,” Hixenbaugh said. “We had too many service errors. We didn’t communicate well. “We played well this morning.” Reedsport has a big match

Tuesday, hosting Bandon and needing a win in the regular season finale for the Sunset Conference to finish alone in second place behind Myrtle Point, which would give the Braves an edge in the conference tournament Saturday at Myrtle Point. The league gets two berths in the state playoffs, and Myrtle Point already has clinched one of them. Bandon didn’t win any of its matches Saturday, though the Tigers split with Cottage Grove during the morning pool. Douglas eliminated Bandon in the consolation quarterfinals.

Manning passes Favre’s touchdown record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This was one ball Peyton Manning wanted in his grasp. Comically, his teammates initially wouldn’t give it to him. And then he agreed to give it away, anyhow. Manning ’s receivers played keep-away with his milestone memento, and the NFL’s new leader in career touchdown passes toyed with the San Francisco 49ers in the Denver Broncos’ 42-17 romp Sunday night. Manning went into the showdown two TDs shy of Brett Favre’s record of 508 and threw four touchdown passes, giving him 510. He surpassed Favre’s mark with an 8-yard strike to Demaryius Thomas late in the second quarter. As he went to retrieve the football, his teammates decided to have some fun. Thomas tossed the historic ball over Manning and to Emmanuel Sanders, who then lobbed it to Wes Welker. From there, Welker dished it back to Sanders, who then flipped it to Julius Thomas — all of Manning’s favorite targets getting into the act. “I heard whispers about something,” Manning said. “Those guys are all great athletes, and my vertical leap isn’t what it used to be. “I haven’t played keepaway since I was 8 years old. That is something I will always remember.” Finally, Manning got the ball along with congratulations from his teammates and coaches. The souvenir won’t end up on Manning’s mantle, however — it’s headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Manning needed just four drives Sunday night to break the record. He threw a 3-yard TD pass to Sanders on Denver’s first drive and tied the record when Welker took a pass over the middle for 39 yards. His final TD of the night was a 40-yarder to Thomas, giving him 510. Manning reached the milestone in his 246th regular-season game. Favre needed 302. “I think Brett has always known he is one of my favorite players,” Manning said. “He played the position with so much passion, so much toughness and great production as a quarterback. “I am honored to join this club with him.” Denver is 5-1 and San Francisco is 4-3. Rams 28, Seahawks 26: At St. Louis, special teams trickery was decisive for the Rams (2-4). Punter Johnny Hekker’s pass from the St. Louis 18 caught the Seahawks by sur-

The Associated Press

Denver quarterback Peyton Manning throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during the first half of Sunday’s game. Manning became the career leader in touchdown passes during the game. prise for the last of three big plays by those special teams. Stedman Bailey had a 90yard touchdown on a trick return that fooled the Seahawks into thinking another player was going to catch the punt. Benny Cunningham’s 75-yard kickoff return set up an early touchdown for the Rams. Russell Wilson rushed for 106 yards on seven carries and passed for two touchdowns while going 23 for 36 for 313 yards. The Seahawks (3-3) dominated statistically, outgaining the Rams 463-272. Doug Baldwin’s’ 9-yard reception cut the deficit to two with 3:18 to go, but the Rams were able to run out the clock after Hekker’s completion to Cunningham. “Some unbelievable cool things that they were able to do on special teams and it made a big difference,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Packers 38, Panthers 17: Aaron Rodgers threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns, and Randall Cobb torched the Carolina secondary for 121 yards on receptions. Sure-tackling Green Bay (5-2) limited quarterback Cam Newton in the first half. The host Packers scored touchdowns on their first three series and led 28-3 at halftime. Newton, who had a career-high 17 carries last week, had 41 yards rushing on seven attempts. He passed for 205 yards for Carolina (3-

3-1). Chiefs 23, Chargers 20: At San Diego, Cairo Santos kicked a 48-yard field goal with 21 seconds left, and the Chiefs snapped the Chargers’ five-game winning streak. The Chiefs moved into field goal range thanks to Alex Smith, who completed three straight passes for 43 yards, including a 29-yarder to Dwayne Bowe. Coming off their bye, the Chiefs (3-3) made the AFC West a three-team race, 1 pulling within 1 ⁄2 games of San Diego (5-2). The Broncos (5-1) lead the division. The Chiefs’ Andy Reid is 14-2 after a bye week, the most victories for any coach. The Chargers flunked their sternest test in a month and lost for the first time since a defeat at Arizona in the season opener. Jaguars 24, Browns 6: Denard Robinson ran for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown, Jacksonville’s defense came up big in the red zone, and the Jaguars snapped a nine-game losing streak. Jacksonville (1-6) won for the first time since beating Houston on Dec. 15, 2013. Blake Bortles connected with fellow rookie Allen Robinson for a 31-yard score and the game’s first touchdown. It was really all the Jaguars needed on a day in which coach Gus Bradley’s defense delivered time and time again. The visiting Browns (3-3) entered the game with the NFL’s third-best rushing

attack. The Browns ran 30 times for 69 yards, including 36 by Ben Tate. Cowboys 31, Giants 21: DeMarco Murray broke Jim Brown’s 56-year-old NFL record with his seventh straight 100-yard rushing game to start a season. The host Cowboys (6-1) won their sixth straight. Tony Romo threw three touchdown passes, and had a fourth scoring pass overturned on replay. Instead, Murray wound up with his seventh TD rushing on a 1yard plunge. Murray finished with 128 yards rushing to pass Brown, who hit the century mark in the first six games of the 1958 season for Cleveland. The Cowboys are off to their best start since they went 13-3 in 2007 and were the top seed in the NFC before losing to New York in their first playoff game. Eli Manning had three touchdown passes for the Giants (3-4). Cardinals 24, Raiders 13: Carson Palmer threw two touchdown passes in his return to Oakland to send the Raiders to their 12th straight loss, six this season. Stepfan Taylor caught one touchdown pass and ran for another, and Andre Ellington gained 160 yards from scrimmage for the Cardinals (5-1), who are off to their best start since 1976. Darren McFadden ran for a touchdown for the Raiders, off to their worst start to a season since losing their first 13 games in 1962 — the year

SEC West continues to dominate poll BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Breaking down the ballots for the AP Top 25 and wrapping up college football’s eighth weekend.

BUCKLE UP Good luck, selection committee. The first season of the College Football Playoff is a little more than halfway in the books and there are just four unbeaten teams left in FBS. Two play each other (No. 1 Mississippi State and No. 3 Mississippi). One is No. 2 Florida State, which has spent a good chunk of this season dancing around trap doors. The other is No. 23 Marshall, which plays one of the weakest schedules in the country and realistically has little chance of being part of the football final four. And for those who think Marshall’s chances are much closer to none than slim, let’s just say it’s best to never say never. There are also 17 one-loss teams, from No. 4 Alabama to unranked Minnesota and Duke that have every right to dream big. “I hadn’t gone there,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said with a little bit of a laugh on Sunday. “I do know where we are right now it gives us an opportunity to continue to play very meaningful games.” If the Blue Devils (or Gophers) were to run the table, why wouldn’t they have a case to play for the national championship? The selection committee’s first top 25 comes out Oct. 28, and this race promises to take plenty of twists and turns before the field is set on Dec. 7. For now the Southeastern Conference is dominating the top

of The Associated Press college football poll. The SEC on Sunday became the first conference to hold four of the top five spots in the rankings — all from the western division. “Glad we’re not playing the Mississippis this year, though I don’t know who you want to play over on the western side,” said South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, whose team was thumped on opening night by A&M. Top-ranked Mississippi State held its spot in an off week. Ole Miss did the same after a convincing 34-3 victory against Tennessee. Alabama jumped three spots to No. 4 after throttling Texas A&M 59-0. No. 5 Auburn took advantage of Baylor being upset by West Virginia and Notre Dame’s loss at Florida State, to inch up a spot during an off week. The Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss and the Iron Bowl between Auburn and Alabama, both played the Saturday after Thanksgiving, will help settle some things in the SEC West. Also, Auburn still has to visit Ole Miss and Mississippi State goes to Alabama. Or those four teams can take turns beating each other and create a logjam of one-loss teams. As for Florida State, the lone crasher of the SEC’s top-five party, the Seminoles showed again Saturday night that resiliency breeds good fortune. Behind a brilliant second half by Jameis Winston, and with the help of a late offensive pass interference penalty against Notre Dame, Florida State escaped again. “If you got the champ, you can’t win by split-decision. You got to knock him out,” Fighting Irish

coach Brian Kelly said. The Seminoles have a hard chin, but problems still exist. Notre Dame ran the ball better on FSU than it had for much of the season. The Seminoles own running game can’t seem to get going rolling behind an offensive line that has underachieved. But they have Winston, the headline-making Heisman Trophy winner who reminded everyone again that behind all the noise he is maybe the most gifted passer in college football.

GOING UP Kansas State’s 31-30 upset against Oklahoma, the Wildcats second straight victorious visit to Norman, pushed coach Bill Snyder’s team up three spots in the rankings to No. 11. K-State still has much of the meat of its Big 12 schedule ahead with road games at No. 10 TCU, No. 22 West Virginia and No. 12 Baylor. The Wildcats are the only team in the conference without a league loss. Here’s where the Big 12 is: Oklahoma beat West Virginia, TCU beat Oklahoma, Baylor beat TCU, and West Virginia beat Baylor.

IN AND OUT West Virginia is ranked for the first time since Oct. 2012. If you recall that season, the Mountaineers with Geno Smith and Tavon Austin reached the topfive, before unraveling and finishing 7-6. Also moving back into the rankings this week after victories were UCLA and LSU. Falling out after losses were Oklahoma State, Stanford and Texas A&M.

before late owner Al Davis joined the franchise. “This is as bad as you’re going to get through the first part of the season,” safety Charles Woodson said. “We haven’t won a game. How much worse can it get than that, than not winning a game?” Lions 24, Saints 23: At Detroit, the Saints blew another road game in the final moments. Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes in the final 3:38, including the winner to Corey Fuller with 1:48 remaining. The Saints (2-4) were in control late in the fourth quarter when Stafford found Golden Tate for a 73-yard catch-and-run that made it 23-17. Then, Drew Brees was intercepted on third down by Glover Quin, whose 23-yard return gave the Lions (5-2) the ball at the New Orleans 14. Detroit caught a break when Rafael Bush was called for pass interference on fourth down. Stafford eventually connected with Fuller in the back of the end zone for a 5yard touchdown and the win. The Saints committed 12 penalties for 134 yards. Colts 27, Bengals 0: At Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes, and the Colts’ defense dominated Cincinnati. Indy churned out 506 yards. Luck was 27 of 42 for 344 yards as Indianapolis (5-2) won its fifth straight. It was Indy’s first shutout since December 2008 and the 500th victory in franchise

history. Cincinnati (3-2-1), which hasn’t won since starting 30, endured its first shutout since December 2009 and had a franchise-record-tying 11 punts. Colts linebacker Erik Walden was ejected in the first half for making contact with umpire Bruce Stritesky. Ravens 29, Falcons 7: At Baltimore, Elvis Dumervil and Pernell McPhee each had two sacks, part of a dominant defensive performance. Baltimore (5-2) led 17-0 at halftime and coasted to its second straight blowout win. The Ravens beat Tampa Bay 48-17 last week. The Falcons (2-5) averted their first shutout loss since December 2004 when Matt Ryan connected with Roddy White for a 4-yard touchdown with 7:12 remaining. It was Atlanta’s first fourthquarter score in five games; the Falcons have lost four in a row. Dolphins 27, Bears 14: At Chicago, the Bears (3-4) remained winless in three home games this season and have dropped five of their last seven at Soldier Field. Matt Forte scored two touchdowns and Jeremiah Ratliff finished 1 with a career-best 3 ⁄2 sacks. Ryan Tannehill threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns for Miami (3-3), connecting on his first 14 passes. Redskins 19, Titans 17: Kai Forbath’s 22-yard field goal on the last play won it for the host Redskins. Colt McCoy completed 11 of 12 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown in his first meaningful role in a win since Nov. 20, 2011. He came on in the second half after Kirk Cousins was benched. The Redskins (2-5) snapped a four-game losing streak. The Titans (2-5) saw Charlie Whitehurst go 17 for 26 for 160 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Bills 17, Vikings 16: The Bills gave their hometown fans a last-second thrill — literally. Kyle Orton hit rookie Sammy Watkins on a 2-yard touchdown pass with 1 second remaining. That capped a 15play, 80-yard drive which Orton extended by converting a fourth-and-20. Orton overcame an interception, a lost fumble and six sacks to finish 31 of 43 for 283 yards and two touchdowns — both to Watkins. It was Orton’s second last-second victory in three starts for Buffalo (4-3), which overcame injuries to running backs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller. The Vikings (2-5) forced four turnovers.

Carroll tops Raiders THE WORLD Southern Oregon University was handed its first loss of the season Saturday when the Raiders failed to convert a late two-point try in a 42-40 loss to Carroll College in Helena, Mont. Southern Oregon quarterback Austin Dodge connected with Dylan Young on a 22-yard touchdown with 24 seconds to go in the game, but the two just missed connecting on the conversion. The No. 3 Saints and No. 4 Raiders now are tied atop the Frontier Conference at 5-1, with each beating the other on its home field. Dodge completed 31 of 54 passes for 356 yards and three touchdowns in the loss. Coquille graduate Heston Altenbach was credited with seven tackles for the Raiders. Central Washington 24, Western Oregon 20: The Wildcats beat the visiting Wolves for the 11th straight time in Ellensburg, Wash., to improve to 3-1 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Ryan Bergman threw for 412 yards for the Wolves, 3-4 overall and 1-1 in GNAC. Bergman had two touchdown passes, moving to No. 2 on the all-time list for Western Oregon, but also threw three interceptions. Linfield 65, Whitworth 13: The Wildcats guaranteed themselves their 59th straight winning season when Sam Riddle passed for five touchdowns and ran for another in the Northwest

Ryan Knowlton had three touchdown passes for Willamette. Lewis & Clark remained winless at 0-6 overall and 0-4 in the NWC. Pacific 31, Pacific Lutheran 28: The Boxers got their biggest win since bringing back football in 2010, topping the No. 18 Lutes with a late defensive stop. Warner Shaw’s touchdown pass to Jakob Lawrence with just over 4 minutes to go provided the final score for the Boxers as Pacific snapped a 17-game losing streak to Pacific Lutheran and improved to 3-0 in Northwest Conference play. Puget Sound 33, George Fox 14: The Bruins fell to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in the Northwest Conference with the homecoming loss to Puget Sound.

Montana Western 34, Eastern Oregon 28: Zach Bartlow completed 22 of 30 passes for 251 yards, but the Mountaineers fell on the road as the Bulldogs scored the final 17 points.

BRIDGE Oswald Spengler, a German philosopher who died in 1936, said, “The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.” That is a perfect way to lead into this week’s deals, in which the “obvious” play is not right. Here, South is in six hearts. West leads the diamond king. South wins with his ace and cashes the heart aceking, but East discards a spade on the second round. What should declarer do next?

After North used a three-diamond transfer bid, South’s three spades showed the spade ace, four-card heart support and, typically, a doubleton somewhere. Then North, who knew the partnership had the values for a small slam, transferred again with four diamonds before jumping to the small slam. (Yes, he might have control-bid four clubs to show his ace.) South is faced with two losers: the heart queen and the diamond queen. He must discard dummy’s two diamonds before West can ruff in and cash his diamond queen. With only five spades between the two hands, it looks obvious to play on that suit first — but it is wrong! West ruffs the third spade and cashes his diamond queen. If West has fewer than three clubs, the contract is unmakable. So South should play on that suit first. If it breaks 3-3, then he hopes West also has at least three spades. But when West turns up with four clubs, one diamond can disappear on the club 10 and the second on the third spade, West’s ruff coming too late for him.
