Teachers still negotiating in Reedsport

One for the ages

SALEM (AP) — The Oregon secretary of state’s office says Thursday is the last day for residents to put their ballots in the mail if they want them to arrive in time for Tuesday’s election.

An election day postmark isn’t enough. Ballots have to be received in the elections office by 8 p.m. Tuesday to be counted.

After Thursday, ballots should be left in drop boxes to make sure they are counted.

REEDSPORT — The Reedsport School District and its teachers are currently in negotiations for a new contract, but those negotiations could reach an impasse in the next month.

The administration sent out a report to community members and staff of the district Wednesday.

The report said the district and the Association of Reedsport Educators engaged in mediation meetings, including one at 1:30 a.m. last Friday, in an attempt to reach a settlement on the 2014 collective bargaining agreement.

The report said the two sides have been negotiating since March of this year and, according to the district letter, “have reached agreement on most of the articles in the collective bargaining agreement.”

The remaining issues include the schedule at Reedsport Community Charter School, whether the district should pay teachers if they bring action against the district and, according to the report, pay for the next two years.

The sides are also apart on salary.

“The District has presented a proposal to increase the teachers’ salary by 1 percent this year and 1.5 percent next year,” the report stated. “The Association’s proposal is to have a 1.5 percent increase this year and a 2 percent increase next year.”

The district letter stated that increasing pay that much would reduce the district’s fund balance to 2

Library holds fall fundraiser

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — The Coos Bay Public Library Foundation is hosting its third annual fall fundraiser, An Evening at the Library, this Saturday, as part of its efforts to maintain and improve the library.

The event, which takes place at 7:30 p.m., features locally brewed, distilled and roasted beverages from 7 Devils Brewing Company, Bridgeview Coffee Roasters, Brandy Peak Distillery and Stillwagon Distillery, paired with appetizers from Black Market Gourmet.

The evening culminates with the conclusion of the silent auction, which patrons can bid on until the end of the event.

Tickets can be purchased for $30 before Saturday at the library and Art Connection and $35 at the door, with all proceeds generally being allocated for items the library cannot afford to purchase through its general fund.

“Last year, we were able to buy new furniture for the young adult area and more public computers, so the proceeds go towards bigger one-time purchases that the library generally doesn’t have the resources to buy,” said library director Samantha Pierson.

Although the library has not selected any specific items to purchase with the funds from this year’s fundraiser, a generous portion most likely will go toward building a new library, given the rate at which the current library is sinking into the ground.

While each event has drawn 75 to 80 people, the library has not targeted a goal for donations despite seeing an increase from

San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner, left, and catcher Buster Posey celebrate the 3-2 win against the Kansas City Royals in Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday.

Bumgarner, S.F. win World Series

BY RONALD BLUM The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A giant, indeed.

Madison Bumgarner punctuated his World Series performance for the ages by pitching the San Francisco Giants to their third championship in five years with a 32 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

The big left-hander came out of the bullpen to throw five scoreless innings on two days’ rest, saving a Series pushed to the limit. And by winning Game 7 on the road, Bumgarner and the Giants succeed1 ed where no team had in 3 ⁄2 decades.

“I wasn’t thinking about innings or pitch count. I was just thinking about getting outs, getting outs, until I couldn’t get

them anymore and we needed someone else,” Bumgarner said in a monotone that made it sound as though he was talking about batting practice.

A two-out misplay in the ninth almost wrecked it for him.

Bumgarner had retired 14 in a row when Alex Gordon sent a drive to center field. The pitcher pointed his glove in the air, thinking it could be the final out, but the ball fell in front of Gregor Blanco for a single.

Blanco allowed it to skip past him to the wall, and left fielder Juan Perez kicked the ball before throwing to shortstop Brandon Crawford in short left, holding Gordon at third.

“When it got by him, I had a smile on

The U.S. health care apparatus is so unprepared and short on resources to deal with the deadly Ebola virus that even small clusters of cases could overwhelm parts of the system, according to an Associated Press review of readiness at hospitals and other components of the emergency medical network.

Experts broadly agree that a widespread outbreak across the country is extremely unlikely, but they also concur that it is impossible to predict with certainty, since previous Ebola epidemics have been confined to remote areas of Africa. And Ebola is not the only possible danger that causes concern; experts say other deadly infectious diseases — ranging from airborne viruses such as SARS, to an unforeseen new strain of the flu, to more exotic plagues like Lassa fever — could crash the health care system.

To assess America’s ability to deal with a major outbreak, the AP examined multiple indicators of readiness: training, manpower, funding, emergency room shortcomings, supplies, infection control and

Trainees will become acquainted with the custom COASST field guide, “Beached Birds,” and try out their newly acquired identification skills on seabird species common to the North Pacific. The COASST training provides volunteers with the tools to monitor for potential changes in the marine environment and promote stewardship of local marine resources.

COASST is a citizen science project of the

University of Washington in partnership with state, tribal, and federal agencies, environmental organizations, and community groups. COASST works to translate long-term monitoring into effective marine conservation solutions. Currently, more 800 volunteers survey beaches in Washington, Oregon, California and Alaska.

The rest of our candidate picks Our view As devoted as they are, single-issue candidates don’t fare well in our endorsements.

What do you think?

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

Tuesday we shared our final thoughts on the statewide ballot measures.

Time to turn our attention to the candidates on this year’s ballot.

We earlier endorsed incumbent Rep. Peter DeFazio for another term against his main challenger, Art Robinson (Oct. 23). We also gave our nod to John Sweet over challenger Don Gurney for another term as Coos County commissioner (Oct. 16). Here are our thoughts on the remaining major races: U.S. Senator — The contest between Democratic incumbent Jeff Merkley and his main, Republican challenger,

pediatrician Monica Wehby has been ugly and expensive, with more than $6 million spent on TV ads alone. The spectre of Koch brothers’ money (recently pulled), charges of plagiarism and stalking her ex’s makes us squirm. We’ll stick with Mr. Merkley.

Governor — The main challenger to incumbent John Kitzhaber, (D), state Rep. Dennis Richardson, (R), has made all the usual challengers’ promises, including throwing the South Coast a bone by resurrecting the Coos Bay-Ontario highway notion.

Gov. Kitzhaber had produced a pretty good track record in his first couple of terms. But

in this third one, he simply seems to have checked out.

He certainly didn’t create the Cover Oregon health care failure that made Oregon a national embarrassment, but it still occurred on his watch, with his people. And insisting on calling his girlfriend “First Lady”? We don’t think a fourth term is the best idea.

We’ll go with Mr. Richardson.

State Representative, 1st District (Curry, Josephine and southern Coos counties) — We’ll stick with incumbent Wayne Krieger. Challenger Jim Klahr appears to be a single-issue candidate, which we always have problems with, never mind that his single issue is advocating

marijuana. Sure, we endorsed legalizing pot, but there’s more to life …

State Representative, 9th District (Northern Coos and western Douglas and Lane counties) — Incumbent Caddy McKeown’s main challenger in this race is Casey Runyan. Mr. Runyan has run a passionate campaign on 2nd Amendment rights. Good for him. But when it doesn’t involve guns, Mr. Runyan seems a little too shallow. Again, a single issue candidate. We’ll have to stick with Ms. McKeown.

On Saturday, our final political editorial for the season: Why you should vote.

Obamacare a factor in midterms Some Democrats and their advocates in the press believe Obamacare, a year into implementation, is no longer much of a factor in the midterm elections. But no one has told Republican candidates, who are still pounding away at the Affordable Care Act on the stump. And no one has told voters, especially those in states with closely contested Senate races, who regularly place it among the top issues of the campaign.

In Arkansas, Republican challenger Tom Cotton is pulling ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor partly on the strength of a relentless focus on Obamacare.

Cotton’s newest ad attacks Pryor over the law, as did two of Cotton’s four previous ads.

“In our polling, (Obamacare) continues to be just as hot as it’s been all year long,” says a source in the Cotton campaign. “If you look at a word cloud of voters’ biggest hesitation in voting for Mark Pryor, the two biggest words are ‘Obama’ and ‘Obamacare.’

Everything after that is almost an afterthought.”

Republican Rep. Bill challenging Cassidy, incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu in Louisiana, is pushing just as hard. “Sen. Landrieu, I voted for you before, but when you voted for Obamacare, I knew I’d made a mistake,” says a BYRON woman in a Cassidy ad YORK featuring Landrieu voters who say her support of the Columnist health care law turned them away from Democrats.

So Republican candidates bash Obamacare and move up in the polls. Given that public opinion remains firmly against the health care law — as it has been for years — that’s not a shock. Democratic beliefs to the contrary are probably wishful thinking.

Since Obamacare was enacted in 2010, the Gallup polling organization has asked people whether the law has helped or hurt them personally, or whether they haven’t been affected at all. In the latest survey, most people — 54 percent — said they have not been affected. But 27 percent said they have been affected and hurt, while a smaller group, 16 percent, said they have been helped.

“Since the start of this year, the percentage saying the law has helped them has increased from 10 percent to 16 percent,” Gallup noted,“while the percentage saying it has hurt them has also gone up,and by a similar amount, from 19 percent to 27 percent.”

The trend is pretty clear: more people hurt then helped.

Gallup found an intriguing partisan gap in its results. Looking just at those who said they have been affected by Obamacare, 27 percent of Democrats said they had been helped, while 15 percent said they had been hurt. Among independents, the numbers were almost the opposite: 16 percent said they had been helped, while 27 percent said they had been hurt. And among Republicans, just 4 percent said they had been helped, while 40 percent said they had been hurt.

It’s unclear whether poll respondents were inserting their political biases into what they said were their personal experiences, or whether Obamacare has helped more Democrats than anyone else.

But helping Democrats isn’t enough to win an election. So Democratic candidates respond to voter unhappiness by pledging to “fix”Obamacare.But their hearts don’t seem to be in it. At a recent debate in New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was asked to list her proposed fixes, and all she could come up with was a suggestion to name a committee to study problems with the Obamacare website.

That does almost nothing to address voters’ concerns, which remain a potent factor in the campaign. The bottom line is, there’s a reason Republicans keep pushing so hard against Obamacare: So far, it’s working.

Letters to the Editor Candidates, stop distorting facts I live in Douglas County and am a voter. I am addressing political ads from candidates/politicians in Eugene, Medford and Albany. So I have no political agenda.

There are political ads airing on television by politicians who say their opponents are not tough on crime. The ads I am referring to are the ones that have the mug shots of men that have done crimes and been released early.

They are using a mug shot of my brother. The ad says he murdered his wife in her sleep. That would be very difficult for him to have done since he has never been married. It is a mug shot of him from Utah. His crime did not happen in Oregon. So why are they saying this happened in Oregon?

He is a real person with real problems.

I have no clue who it is, or where the source comes from for these political ads. I do know they need to get their facts straight. I am hurt and confused that unethical politicians are distorting the facts to score political points. politicians/candidates, OK, time to stop distorting the facts for your votes. You are distorting this, so what else are you distorting? You are responsible and accountable for your campaign ads.

Don’t listen to the Sweet bashers What gives? Rob Taylor, Don Chance and, occasionally, Don Gurney and Bob Main are regular “guests” on the Jim Bice radio show.These shows rapidly degenerate to Sweet-bashing sessions.

Occasionally, they include Commissioner Melissa Cribbins in their diatribes.Never,of course, is Bob Main mentioned, even when he votes with Sweet and Cribbins.

There is an incredible amount of misinformation, half-truths, unrealistic expectations and some downright untruths being spread over the air waves.In the end,they turn out to be little more than a campaign commercial for Don Gurney. Presumably, these shows are not coordinated with the Gurney campaign because if they

were, they would be illegal without disclaimers and declaration of in-kind contributions in Gurney’s campaign filings under state election laws.

That said, I don’t see Don Gurney publicly disclaiming them, either.

Help stamp out this kind of nonsense. It is simply an insult to our collective intelligence to expect us to believe what they are saying.

Vote for real adult leadership in our county. Vote for integrity in government. Vote for John Sweet.

John Sweet’s the man with a plan that can work. John Sweet speaks the truth. Please join me and cast your ballot for John Sweet, county commissioner.

Charter hinders public health Please take the time to read the proposed county Home Rule Charter before voting. The board members of Coos County Friends of Public Health found several clauses that are alarming and would make it very difficult for Coos County Public Health to protect us and provide needed services.

Section 21.1 of the charter causes us grave concern because of the threat of Ebola. This section says that the county “shall not demand or enforce any health initiatives, measures, programs, or regulations that violate the citizens’ health care decisions, nor will the county accept any grants, gifts, endowments or other items of value that prescribe such demands or enforcement.” What does this mean? Will there be no public health enforcement of quarantine or isolation if our county is faced with serious contagious diseases?

Section 13.4 requires approval by a citizen vote before the county commissioners can sign any agreement. Many of us are not aware of the implications of this.

Can you imagine a delay in the distribution of critical vaccine and supplies if we had to first go through an election? When the H1N1 flu pandemic hit Coos County in 2009, the vaccine was in short supply and was distributed through the public health system to the citizens of Coos County. Our health department

was able to quickly respond to that epidemic and distribute the vaccine. Being able to respond quickly is critical, especially with threats of Ebola or other epidemic illness that could arise in the future. Don’t shackle the ability of your county health department to respond to emergencies.

Most of the money for critical public health services comes from the state and federal government through intergovernmental agreements, and can come in at multiple times during the year.

Each time would require a special election, at taxpayer expense, with each election costing $60,000 or more, depending on voter turnout. Where will the money come from for these elections? Higher taxes? With passage of this charter, money for WIC (Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program) would be held up until voter approval.

Childhood immunizations would also be held up, plus many other services that promote good health.

This charter is bad legislation that will hinder the day-to-day operations of all county government departments. We urge you to vote No on Home Rule Charter, 6-149.

Lindi Quinn Board President Coos County Friends of Public Health

Voting earns the right to complain Are you as sick and tired as I am about folks who constantly complain about the roads,the taxes,all politicians and so on and so forth?

Well, this year I found out how to do something about them.

Something so simple I don’t know how it escaped me before. Here’s what I did, and you can do it too ...

I voted.

Be the one voice, the one vote, that changes the world. Vote and have the right to complain all you want! I plan to!

Return Sweet as commissioner Coos County needs John Sweet as county commissioner. He brings integrity, honesty and a deep understanding and commitment to the community. John is a

consensus builder and a fiscal conservative. He has been persistent in saving the county money and paying off debt to reduce by millions the cost to local taxpayers. He has the ability to bring government agencies together for the betterment of Coos County.

John has fought hard to bring responsible investments to Coos County. He has been a leader in making the proposed Community Enhancement Plan a reality that will bring millions to area schools and to government agencies, including the county.

John Sweet is the right man for Coos County commissioner!

Vote no on ‘driver card’ measure I agree with Donald Moberg of North Bend. My wife went through the same thing as he did when we arrived in Oregon. A copy of her birth certificate was rejected and she ended up requesting another from San Diego with the raised seal.

Don mentioned, “Should need more proof than a green card.”

Most of us would agree on that very thing. If one has a “Green Card” they are in the U.S. legally and should be able to drive.Where it gets confusing is the word immigrant. Are they here legally or not. Don, truth be told, Measure 88 was written up for the illegals in our country. The legal immigrants (resident aliens) don’t need prop. 88.

State Bride’s best friend hesitates to stand up at her wedding

Oregon, Alaska are ground zero in pot fight

DEAR ABBY: My best friend is getting married. She left me a message asking me to be a bridesmaid. Of course I’m honored, but I don’t know what to do. I disDEAR like her fiance.

He is disrespectful and mean to her and to their son.

I can’t stand up with them and pretend JEANNE PHILLIPS to be happy for her when I think she’s making a terrible mistake. I want her to marry someone who will be nice to her. Help! — CONFLICTED IN MINNESOTA DEAR CONFLICTED: If standing up with her will make you feel like a hypocrite, then don’t do it.

But recognize that if you don’t, it will distance you from her.

If your friend’s relationship is dysfunctional now, just wait until after she and her fiance are married, because it isn’t going to magically get better. This young woman is going to need all the support she can get from her friends in the years ahead.

DEAR ABBY: Every year, my children choose to attend Thanksgiving with their inlaws or friends rather than come to our home. Then they ask me to prepare a celebration the day after or another day.

My husband and I feel left out. It’s plain that we are considered “second” and the kids come only because they feel guilty.

Preparing a meal is expensive and time-consuming.

We would like to celebrate on the actual holiday.

I think we should be treated with more respect. I also feel like telling these ingrates to stay home this year because we have decided to donate our time to a homeless shelter. Your thoughts?

— LEFT OUT IN LEXINGTON DEAR LEFT OUT: I can see why your feelings are hurt. In fairness, I think your children should alternate with which in-laws they spend the holidays.

If you would prefer to make or serve Thanksgiving dinner at a shelter, you should do it. Many people volunteer their time during the holidays, and at other times during the year, and find it gratifying.

However, when you inform your children about your plans, try to keep the anger out of the tone of your message.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 11 and my dad is a drug addict. I’m not allowed to have contact with him because of his past choices.

People would look down on me if they knew — like my own teacher.

She was being snoopy at the beginning of the year and asked me a bunch of questions about my family, and now I feel like she doesn’t treat me the same. — DISTURBED IN SPOKANE DEAR DISTURBED: Your father’s “past choices” are not your fault, and you should not be blamed or judged for them.

If you haven’t already told your mother that your teacher questioned you about your family at the beginning of the year, that you answered her honestly and now you feel you are being treated differently because of it, you definitely should.

And your mother should discuss this with the teacher because the questions she was asking may have been appropriate.

GRANTS PASS (AP) — From slick video ads online to scrawled chalk messages on college campus sidewalks, intense get-out-the-vote drives are mobilizing in Oregon and Alaska to legalize retail sales of marijuana to anyone old enough to drink.

But backers of the legalpot ballot measures in both states have a challenge that their predecessors in Colorado and Washington state didn’t face two years ago — increasing turnout of young voters in a midterm election.

Young voters, who as a generation are more likely to support recreational marijuana, usually turn out during presidential years like 2012, but stay home during midterms, when the electorate skews older and more conservative.

If young people 18 to 29 years old vote like they did in 2012, Oregon’s Measure 91, for example, would pass, said Ethan Nadelmann, head of Drug Policy Action, a major contributor in the national campaign to legalize marijuana.

“That’s really what it boils down to,” he said.

Washington, D.C., is voting on whether to make it legal to possess marijuana, but not sell it.

Whatever happens in the states and the nation’s capital, advocates plan to quickly shift their attention to the 2016 presidential elections and the big prize: California, where hopes are high for approval of legal pot despite a 2010 rejection.

Workers from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local volunteers organized by the Bend Casting Club work together to collect fish stranded in pools along a side channel of the Deschutes River near Lava Island Falls.

Deschutes rescue saves 7,000 fish from stranding STATE BEND (AP) — It turns out that a rescue effort last weekend in the dwindling waters of the Deschutes River saved nearly 7,000 fish.

The fish were in pools along a side channel of the river that was drained when the state switched from delivering water for summer irrigation to filling the Wickiup Reservoir upstream.

Volunteers and government workers used electric devices to stun the fish and then took them in buckets to the main channel.

The Bend Bulletin reports that nearly 5,000 of the fish were young rainbow trout, 6 inches or shorter. A state biologist said that shows the channel is an important

“Even if all those things go down to defeat, I still think it’s a clean slate in 2016,” said Jeffrey Miron, an economist at Harvard University and the Cato Institute who follows national drug policy.

Mark Kleiman, a drug policy consultant who helped Washington set up its legal marijuana industry, said the outcomes in Oregon and Alaska “will help determine the enthusiasm of funders financing the legalization campaign in California.”

In the meantime, the focus is on Oregon and Alaska.

Oregon is a blue state that decriminalized marijuana in 1973 and authorized medical marijuana in 1998.

The state’s southwestern corner is renowned for growing some of the nation’s best marijuana, and attracts outlaw growers from the U.S. and Mexico. Medical pot dispensaries were approved last year to sell to nearly 70,000 patients.

Alaska, by contrast, is more conservative, but there’s a strong libertarian streak, and small amounts of marijuana have been legal for personal use since a 1975 state Supreme Court ruling.

Medical pot is legal, but not dispensaries.

Both states have seen previous initiatives to legalize marijuana fail. This time around, campaigns have major contributions from out-of-state donors who want see the legal pot movement garner more victories.

Nation Hawaii lava flow is slow, yet unrelenting

NATIONAL

PAHOA, Hawaii (AP) — Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, moves gradually and persistently as she deposits lava across the Big Island of Hawaii. People in the small town lying in its path say the lava will reshape the community yard by yard as it slides toward the ocean.

“She is so gentle, but so unrelenting. She is just slow and steady,” said Jamila Dandini, a retiree who stopped at a coffee shop down the road from where scientists have forecast the

D I G E S T

lava will likely cross.

Lava from a vent at Kilauea volcano has been sliding northeast toward the ocean since June. Last month, scientists said it was two weeks away from hitting the main road in Pahoa, a small town of about 950 residents. The lava slowed but has largely remained on course.

Late Wednesday, it was about 225 yards away from Pahoa Village Road, which goes through the commercial center of the Big Island’s rural, mostly agricultural

community of Puna, Hawaii County civil defense officials said. It was traveling about 5 to 10 yards an hour.

The languid pace has given residents time to pack their valuables and get out of the way. But it’s been agonizing for those wondering whether the lava might change directions and head for them and stressful for those trying to figure out how they will cope once the lava blocks the town’s only roads.

Fed ends bond buys, Yellen to expand influence WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Federal Reserve announced the end of its landmark bond buying program Wednesday, it also signaled the start of something else: The Janet Yellen era.

Officially, Yellen has been Fed chair since February. But the phase-out of the bondbuying stimulus program Yellen inherited from her predecessor, Ben Bernanke, truly marks her inauguration. She can now begin to fully stamp her influence on the central bank.

With the job market showing steady gains, Yellen must now grapple with the fateful decision of when to raise short-term interest

rates, which the Fed has kept at record lows since 2008 to help the economy.

“Janet Yellen’s ability to place her mark on the nation’s monetary policy is only now opening up,” said Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West.

“It will largely be Yellen” who guides rates back to their historic averages from near-zero levels.

Yellen will also preside over the unwinding of the Fed’s vast portfolio of bonds, which its purchases have magnified to more than $4 trillion, a record high. The bond buying had been designed to keep long-term loan rates low.

Bernanke’s tenure at the Fed was focused on bolstering the financial system and rescuing the economy. Yellen’s will require a delicate balancing act to bring the Fed back to normal: She must withdraw the Fed’s stimulus without destabilizing the economy.

“If we’re moving to an era where things will become less accommodative, then we’re in the Yellen era,” said Jay Bryson, a global economist at Wells Fargo.

For Yellen and other Fed officials, the decision of when to begin raising rates toward their historic averages hinges on two major economic forces: Jobs and inflation.

Economy is expected to reach steady speed WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s taken years, but the U.S. economy may finally be reaching a sustainable cruising speed.

Many economists predict that overall growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, reached a healthy 3 percent annual rate in the JulySeptember quarter, according to a survey by data firm FactSet. The Commerce Department The Associated Press will release its first estimate of This image taken from video provided by NASA TV shows Orbital GDP growth in the third quarSciences Corp.'s unmanned rocket blowing up over the launch complex ter at 8:30 a.m. EDT Thursday.

at Wallops Island, Va., just six seconds after liftoff.

Rocket explosion setback for commercial space CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. (AP) — Crews searched for scorched wreckage along the Virginia coast Wednesday in hopes of figuring out why an unmanned commercial rocket exploded in a blow to NASA’s strategy of using private companies to fly supplies and, eventually, astronauts to the International Space Station.

The 140-foot Antares rocket, operated by Orbital Sciences Corp., blew up 15 seconds after lifting off for the space station Tuesday, lighting up the night sky and raining flaming debris on the launch site. No one was injured, but the $200 millionplus mission was a total loss.

The blast not only incinerated the cargo — 21⁄2 tons of space station food, clothes, equipment and science experiments dreamed up by schoolchildren — but dealt a setback to the commercial spaceflight effort championed by NASA and the White House even before the shuttle was retired.

It was the first failure after an unbroken string of successful commercial cargo flights to the space station since 2012 — three by Orbital and five by SpaceX, the other U.S. company hired by NASA to deliver supplies.

Although the cause of the blast is still unknown, several outside experts cast

suspicion on the 1960s-era Russian-built engines used in the rocket’s first stage.

Orbital Sciences chairman David Thompson himself said the Russian engines had presented “some serious technical and supply challenges in the past.”

He said he expects the investigation to zero in on the cause within a week or so. The launch pad on Wallops Island appeared to have been spared major damage.

As for launching again, Thompson said he expects a delay of at least three months in the company’s next flight to the space station, which had been set for April.

“We are certainly disappointed by this failure, but in no way are we discouraged or dissuaded from our objectives,” he told investors in a phone conference.

NASA Former Administrator Michael Griffin, who helped spearhead the commercial cargo effort, noted that the Antares rocket was still in development. He and others associated with the space agency went into the program knowing that failures were likely.

“It’s obviously tragic and upsetting, but we’ll move on,” Griffin told The Associated Press.

Health overhaul’s subsidies at Court WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court justices have their first chance this week to decide whether they have the appetite for another major fight over President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Some of the same players who mounted the first failed effort to kill the law altogether now want the justices to rule that subsidies that help millions of low- and middle-income people afford their premiums under the law are illegal.

The challengers are appealing a unanimous ruling of a three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, that upheld Internal Revenue Service regulations that allow health-insurance tax credits under the Affordable Care Act for consumers in all 50 states.

Zombie woman charged twice with DUI GATES, N.Y. (AP) — Police say a woman wearing a zombie costume and makeup was charged with drunken driving twice within three hours after attending an upstate New York bar’s “zombie prom” party.

Police in the town of Gates tell the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester that 26-year-old Catherine Butler, of Rochester, was arrested around 2 a.m. Saturday when an officer spotted her driving without her headlights on.

She was taken to the police department, where a friend picked her up.

WORLD D I G E S T Death toll estimates range from 100-200 KOSLANDA,Sri Lanka (AP) — There was no hope of finding survivors after a mudslide tore through a tea plantation, a Sri Lankan disaster official said Thursday, amid widely conflicting reports about how many people had been buried alive under the mud.

Disaster Management Minister Mahinda Amaraweera estimated the number of dead in Wednesday’s disaster at the Koslanda tea plantation would be fewer than 100, although villagers said the figure could easily exceed 200.

“I have visited the scene and from what I saw I don’t think there will be any survivors,” Amaraweera told The Associated Press on Thursday.

“But that number is less than 100.”

Models prowl the catwalk in prison RAMLE, Israel (AP) — Alert the fashion police: prisoners in an Israeli jail have presented their debut collections, bringing the do’s and don’ts of design straight to the halls of a penitentiary.

Neve Tirza prison, Israel’s only women’s prison, hosted its first fashion show on Monday where models on towering heels strutted on a red catwalk, showcasing clothes designed and made by inmates.

The prisoners were all part of a rehabilitative project meant to grant them skills they might use upon their release, as well as restore self-confidence following an extended period in jail.

“The intention was to give real tools and create something that is new and through fashion to create a better society,” said Yaniv Schwartz.

Myanmar clings to political prisoners YANGON,Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar has freed more than a thousand political prisoners since former military rulers handed over power three years ago, a move that has smoothed the former pariah state’s international rehabilitation. Now the government says the job is done. Human-rights activists and the U.S. say, not so fast.

President Thein Sein is preparing to disband a committee that determined which inmates were eligible for pardons and amnesties, even though its most outspoken member says more than two dozen prisoners still deserve to be released, including a monk who angered many fellow Buddhists and an air force pilot who complained about mistreatment.

Police kill suspected Palestinian shooter JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli authorities closed off all access to a sensitive Jerusalem holy site Thursday, after police killed a Palestinian man suspected of trying to assassinate a hard-line Jewish activist well known for his efforts to promote increased Jewish access to the site.

The decision to close access to the site — known to Jews as the Temple Mount, and Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary — underscores the incendiary nature of the religious element in the multi-faceted IsraeliPalestinian conflict. The last Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule began after then Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon visited the Jerusalem site in what many saw as a provocative gesture.

Parents of Mexico missing meet with president MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto met with parents of 43 missing teachers college students for the first time since they disappeared, apparently handed over to a drug gang by city police more than a month ago.

Relatives of the missing have grown increasingly frustrated at the pace of the investigation of the Sept. 26 police attack in the city of Iguala, which also left six dead. The case has shaken the image of improving security that the government has sought to project since Pena Nieto took office in 2012.

Peshmerga troops start entering Syrian border town SURUC, Turkey (AP) — Ten Iraqi peshmerga fighters entered the embattled Syrian border town of Kobani via Turkey on Thursday, the first from among a group of 150 Kurdish troops headed there, activists said.

The development followed heavy overnight clashes as Islamic State fighters unsuccessfully tried to capture the border crossing point, the only gateway in and out of the strategic Kurdish town besieged by the militants.

activist Kobani-based Mustafa Bali said the 10 entered Kobani first and that the rest will follow gradually later in the day because the border crossing point has been targeted by Islamic State fighters.

“The first 10 are now with the People’s Protection Units and they include doctors and fighters and the rest are expected to enter in the coming hours at night,” Bali told The Associated Press.

The mission of the peshmerga troops is to help Kurdish fighters inside Kobani try to break the siege

The ability of the small force to turn the tide of battle will depend on the of their effectiveness weapons and on continued U.S.-led airstrikes against the extremists.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — Protesters stormed Burkina Faso’s parliament Thursday, dragging furniture and computers onto the street and setting the main chamber ablaze, in the most significant challenge to the president’s rule during his 27 years in power.

The protesters’ goal was to block a vote in parliament that would have increased term limits and allowed President Blaise Compaore to run for a fifth time. And they succeeded, at least for now as the prime minister’s office issued a statement saying it was canceling the vote.

The demonstrations are continuing, with protesters swarming other areas of the capital, Ouagadougou, and the country, and setting alight several buildings and ransacking the offices of the national television station. Its broadcasts and those of the state radio went off the air.

Tension has been building for months in this West African country once known for its relative stability in a volatile region. The protesters say it’s time for Compaore, who took power in a coup in 1987 and has since been elected four times, to step down from power. “‘It is over for the regime!” and “We do not want him again!” shouted demonstrators when they heard that the vote had been stopped. It could still be re-scheduled at a later date.

The bill would have amended the constitution to increase term limits and allow Compaore to run for election again next year, and the measure looked likely to pass.

The United States expressed concern about the unrest, in a statement issued by the White House press secretary’s office.

Wait for daughter’s body ends on birthday SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Hwang In-yeol and his wife waited seven years to have a child, and then she was born on Oct. 29, 1997.

After a ferry disaster in April that killed her and 303 others, the couple waited again for nearly seven months to see Ji-hyeon’s body. The vigil ended Wednesday when divers retrieved their only child’s body on her 17th birthday.

“The saddest birthday party on the earth,” read a headline in the Hankyoreh newspaper Thursday alongside a picture showing a sobbing Hwang standing with his wife on Wednesday before a whipped-cream cake with glowing candles on it.

Units, also known as the YPG, are the main force in Kurdish predominantly regions in northern Syria.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the 10 peshmerga fighters entered Kobani around noon through the Turkey-Syria border crossing.

Remaining peshmerga forces are in a facility on the outskirts of the border town of Suruc, about 12 kilometers from the border with Syria, on a road that leads to the

I thought maybe I could score, but he got to it quickly enough,” Gordon said. “I just put my head down and ran, almost fell around second base, was just waiting for Jirsch (third base coach Mike Jirschele) to give me the signal. It was a good hold. He had the ball in plenty of time.”

From there, Blanco hoped for the best.

The results were worrisome. Supplies, training and funds are all limited. And there are concerns about whether health care workers would refuse to treat Ebola victims.

Following the death of a patient with Ebola in a Texas hospital and the subsequent infection of two of his nurses, medical officials and politicians are scurrying to fix preparedness shortcomings.

But remedies cannot be implemented overnight. And fixes will be very expensive.

Dr. Jeffrey S. Duchin, chairman of the Public Health Committee of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and a professor of medicine at of the University Washington, said it will take time to ramp up readiness, including ordering the right

man Pablo Sandoval near the Giants’ dugout. The 25year-old ace was immediately embraced by catcher Buster Posey, and the rest of the Giants rushed to the mound to join the victory party.

Most of the San Francisco players tossed their gloves high in the air as they ran to the center of the diamond.

“What a warrior he is, and truly incredible what he did throughout the postseason,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “I just told him I just can’t believe what he accomplished through all this. He’s such a humble guy, and we rode him pretty good.”

Three days after throwing 117 pitches in a four-hit shutout to win Game 5, Bumgarner tossed 68 more and dropped his record-low

career Series ERA to a minuscule 0.25. He’s allowed one run and 14 hits in five outings covering 36 innings.

“Yeah, it was hopeless,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Bumgarner initially was credited with the win. But nearly an hour after the final out, the official scorers awarded it to Jeremy Affeldt, who was in the game when San Francisco took the lead.

Affeldt pitched 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief in his longest outing since July 2012. He was helped by the first World Series reversal in the era of expanded replay, which gave the Giants a double play on Eric Hosmer’s sharp grounder.

Rookie second baseman Joe Panik made a diving stop and flipped to Crawford with his glove for the relay, a key

protective equipment and training workers to use it.

“Not every facility is going to be able to obtain the same level of readiness,” he said.

AP reporters frequently heard assessments that generally, the smaller the facility, the less prepared, less funded, less staffed and less trained it is to fight Ebola and other deadly infectious diseases.

“The place I worry is: Are most small hospitals adequately prepared?” said Dr. Ashish Jha, a Harvard University specialist in health care quality and safety. “It clearly depends on the hospital.”

He said better staff training is the most important element of preparation for any U.S. Ebola outbreak. He believes a small group of personnel at each hospital needs to know the best procedures, because sick people are likely to appear first at medium-size or small medical centers, which are much more common than big ones.

Jha pointed to stepped-up

training in recent weeks but wondered, “Will it be enough? We’ll find out.”

A high ranking official at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that the government does not expect every hospital in America to be able to treat an Ebola patient, but “every hospital has to be able to recognize, isolate and use the highest level of personal protective equipment until they can transfer that patient.”

“The moment anyone has an Ebola patient, (the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) will have a team on the ground within a matter of hours to help that hospital,” Dr. Nicole Lurie, the HHS assistant secretary for preparedness and response, said Wednesday.

She acknowledged “some spot shortages of personal protective equipment” but said many kinds “‘are still pretty widely available” and that manufacturers are ramping up production.

play that prevented a potential Royals rally. joined Bumgarner Cincinnati’s Rawley Eastwick in 1975 as the only pitchers with at least two wins and a save in a World Series, and the 15-out save set a Fall Classic record.

With it all, Bumgarner etched his place in postseason lore among the likes of Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and David Ortiz — players whose indelible October performances led their team to titles. expected Posey Bumgarner to throw three innings, then turn over the game to setup man Sergio Romo and closer Santiago Casilla — who threw four pitches in the entire Series.

“But he just kept rolling,” Posey said. “I mean, it’s unbelievable.”

Consecutive sacrifice flies

by Michael Morse and Brandon Crawford put the Giants ahead 2-0 in the second against Jeremy Guthrie,

but Tim Hudson gave the lead right back in the bottom half on Gordon’s RBI double and Omar Infante’s sacrifice fly.

Morse hit a go-ahead single in the fourth on a 99 mph fastball from reliever Kelvin Herrera to break a 2-all tie, and the Giants eked out a battle of bullpens on a night when both starting pitchers made unusually quick exits.

The Giants were dubbed a “Band of Misfits” in 2010 when they beat Texas to win the franchise’s first title since 1954 in New York. Two years later, they swept Detroit for another championship.

And this time, they became the second NL team with three titles in a fiveyear span, matching Stan Musial’s St. Louis Cardinals of 1942-46.

Every other year. It’s the closest thing to a baseball dynasty in the 21st century.

Home teams had won nine straight Game 7s in the Series since Pittsburgh’s victory at Baltimore in 1979, including the Royals’ 11-0 rout of St. Louis in 1985.

Reedsport Education Association, told the board they were looking to “actually build a culture of respect.”

He said the district needed to achieve a settlement that allows “our teachers to focus on our students instead of worrying about the tension between the board and teachers.”

Vasquez did not respond to requests for an interview for this story.

The negotiations had entered the mediation phase and another mediation session could be held Nov. 10.

It’s not clear if that meeting will be held or whether negotiations would halt.

A notification to strike could come in December if negotiations halt.

The association, according to the letter, also wants an increase in the amount the district pays each employee toward their monthly insurance premium.

The school board held an executive session Tuesday to talk about negotiations but did not take any action when it went into open session.

Teachers attended that meeting, but were not allowed in the executive session and made no comments before or after that session.

Teachers did comment at the school board’s regular meeting Oct. 15.

“Obviously, we’d like to see a couple of thousand dollars, but it also gets people in the library who may not normally come in, so it gives us added exposure.”

While the event primarily benefits the library, a greater emphasis has been put on helping to promote local businesses.

“Last year, we wanted to do something unique and do a beer tasting, and with 7 Devils opening up, it was a perfect opportunity,” Pierson said.

“We said to ourselves, ‘Why not promote more?’ because it’s amazing how many great local producers we have with unique tastes.”

Pierson said there are other ways community members can contribute to the library in the event they cannot afford a donation.

“People can obviously contribute monetarily, but we love it when people volunteer because it helps us get more things done we just normally couldn’t do,” Pierson said.

For more information regarding the fundraiser, contact the library at 541269-1101.

Siuslaw at Marshfield Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KMHS (91.3 FM) and KCST (106.9 FM) Outlook: The Vikings visit the Pirates in a rematch of their regular-season classic, but with bigger stakes. The winner moves into the final 16-team bracket, while the loser will see its season end. Marshfield coach Josh Line said this week that the key to Friday’s game will be which team makes the best adjustments since their regularseason matchup. In that game, Marshfield jumped out to a first-half lead before Siuslaw rallied to force overtime.

The Vikings scored first in that overtime, before Marshfield got a touchdown from McCallister and then quarterback Andrew Sharp’s two-point conversion run.

The win spurred Marshfield to second place in the final league standings, while Siuslaw finished fourth, but got an at-large berth into the play-in round. Because Siuslaw generally travels well, a big crowd is expected Friday.

Marshfield will honor the parking passes purchased by fans during the season. Admission to the game is $6 for adults and $4 for students, though Marshfield still has a number of reserved seats available for $8. Tickets can be bought in advance of the game at the Marshfield athletic department from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday. The stadium gates will open at 5:45 p.m. Friday.

Reedsport at Myrtle Point Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KSHR (97.3 FM) Outlook: The big game in the Sunset Conference is a matchup between the Braves and Bobcats for the league’s final playoff spot, the second straight year the season finale has carried those stakes. Both teams like to run the ball, the Bobcats behind fullbacks Anthony Stoddard and Isaac Godfrey and the Braves with Joey Herr. They both also play physical defense. A big key Friday is the status of Reedsport’s quarterback position. Tyler Tresch, who led the team all season, was injured last week in a win over Bandon. If Tresch is unavailable, the Braves will be led by freshman Marc Chaney, who has the confidence of coach Shane Nelson, but has not made any starts.

COOS BAY — When Marshfield’s boys cross country team took the Far West League district title last week, the Pirates stamped themselves as favorites to grab a trophy at the state meet for the second straight year — and only the second time since the 1960s.

Marshfield placed fourth at last year’s state meet, and has five of the runners back from that squad. But the group said the momentum started growing years ago.

“It all started with Jared (Bassett),” junior Sawyer Heckard said. “He provided a lot of motivation.”

Bassett won the state title for Marshfield in 2007 before going on to a stellar career at the University of Portland.

The groups after him built off that, with Andrew Davidson leading the charge, and then the talented trio of Connor Devereux, Sergio Marroquin and Zach Hammond, all now running at Oregon Institute of Technology.

“Connor and the others learned from Jared,” Heckard said. “We’ve set standards for how hard we have to go.”

Seniors Colby Gillett, Dakota Pittullo and John Hampton trained with the OIT trio when they started their careers at Marshfield.

“The reason we are fast is because of them,” Pittullo said. “We had to work hard.”

Admission: $8 adults, $5 students

The Pirates have fed off their tradition.

“It’s really sunk in with the guys,” Marshfield coach Doug Landrum said.

This is the ninth straight year Marshfield has advanced a team to state.

“That’s great,” Landrum said.

Last year, the Pirates went beyond just advancing to state.

“As a program, we don’t want to stay stagnant,” Hampton said. “We want to take a step up.”

The group has had a couple of goals.

One, Heckard said, was to have a cumulative time faster than the 2011 squad did when Devereux, Hammond and Marroquin were leading the way, something the squad finally did this fall.

Another was to earn a banner in Pirate Palace, something reserved for teams that finish in the top two at a state championship.

“We want to get a banner,” Pittullo said.

To do that, the Pirates will need a strong

team effort up and down the lineup Saturday.

Sophomore Ian Emlet has been Marshfield’s fourth man most of the year. Junior Cody Harkins fills the important role of picking off runners from other teams to improve Marshfield’s score (only the top five count toward a team’s score) and finishing in front of the sixth runners from the other teams, the tiebreaker if squads finish with the same score.

Harkins has embraced the role.

“I view every guy as they are the most important piece,” he said. “You can’t win the district title as an individual. You have to do it as a team.”

Valley Catholic appears to be the clear favorite Saturday. Phoenix is ranked No. 2, and handled the Pirates easily during the Northwest Classic.

Marshfield has improved since that meet, especially Pittullo, who was slowed by a broken toe during the summer.

“We feel we should be able to compete with Phoenix,” Landrum said.

Siuslaw, which finished second to the Pirates at the district meet, also will be in the mix after coming on strong late in the season.

But with Gillett, Heckard and Pittullo all challenging for top-10 finishes, the Pirates like their chances.

“I think we’ve worked hard enough,” Gillett said. “We are ready for our hard work to pay off.”

Marshfield seeks spot at state tournament

Gold Beach at Bandon Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KGBR (92.7 FM) Outlook: The Panthers aleady have clinched the Sunset Conference crown, but will hope to wrap up an unbeaten regular season under new head coach Justin Storns as they prepare for the Class 2A playoffs. Gold Beach’s physical defense will test Bandon’s wide-open passing attack, which at the same time could help the Panthers prepare for a different type of offense than they have seen. Gold Beach has given up an average of just one touchdown a game in league play. Bandon, meanwhile, would like to maintain momentum for next year.

The World

The team’s results show that.

Reedsport lost often the first few weeks, including twice to Culver. But since the Sunset Conference season started, the team has grown in confidence as the wins added up. And one of the losses was a big example of the improvement, when they pushed league champion Myrtle Point to five games on its home court before coming up short.

“We’ve improved so much,” junior libero Alyssa Aguirre said.

The biggest change, in addition to improved teamwork and trust, she said is “the younger girls aren’t so timid.”

Entering the year, the Braves knew they had Hixenbaugh and junior middle blocker Mariah McGill to lead the offense. Aguirre took the role of libero after being a defensive specialist last year. Fellow junior Julia Analco was the only other veteran, and her biggest role last year was as a serving specialist.

COOS BAY — It’s a memory Marshfield’s three seniors would rather forget.

After dominating the Far West League in 2013, Marshfield had a home volleyball playoff match against Ridgeview to earn a spot in the 4A state tournament. The Pirates came in swaggering with Far West League MVP Tracee Scott and fresh off a third-place finish at the Class 5A tournament the year prior.

Then the Ravens dominated Marshfield at the net, stealing a five-set win and the Pirates’ chance at the state tournament in Eugene.

“I know we weren’t expecting to lose,” senior Abby Clough reminisced. “We weren’t expecting great competition and it was very cocky of us. We should’ve mentally prepared better.”

Scott was the only senior on last year’s squad. This year Marshfield returns five starters, including seniors Clough, Paige Tavernier and libero Gabby Bryant who get their last chance at the state playoffs against Astoria at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The entire Marshfield squad, especially the seniors, has been working this entire year to get ready for this weekend’s matchup at Pirate Palace.

So how hungry are the Pirates to get back into the tournament?

“Like starving,” Tavernier said.

“Last year we had a lot of ups and downs. We didn’t have the chemistry we have this year. We feel more put together this year.”

Powers at Chiloquin Time: 6 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Cruisers are in the same situation as Reedsport and Myrtle Point, needing a win Friday to advance to the state playoffs. Powers finished third in the Mountain Skyline West division, while Chiloquin tied for first in the East division, but lost the tiebreaker to Hosanna Christian. Powers likely will need an offensive outburst to win. Chiloquin has scored at least 50 points in every game but its 34-22 loss to Hosanna Christian. The Cruisers could use another big game for quarterback Jackson Stallard and playmakers Devin MacKensen and Tye Jackson.

Blazers win opener THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND — LaMarcus Aldridge’s first basket of this season was a bit of a surprise, even to him.

Aldridge hit a 3-pointer and Portland’s All-Star forward went on to score 27 points in the Trail Blazers’ 106-89 season-opening victory over the injury-depleted Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.

Aldridge, who has been working on his long-range shot, said Russell Westbrook’s defense on the play gave him no choice but to shoot.

“I don’t think anyone was thinking my first shot would be a long 3, so it was pretty cool,” he said.

Reedsport makes great strides

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

REEDSPORT — The display case at Reedsport Community Charter School includes trophies from the past four state volleyball tournaments.

It’s a testament to how good the Braves have been.

This year’s squad has a chance to add to that legacy, if it can win at Culver in the Class 2A state playoffs on Saturday.

It was hard to imagine that being possible when fall practice started.

After all, the Braves had only four players back with any real varsity experience and several freshmen relied upon for major contributions.

“I wasn’t really scared about this year, but I didn’t know what to expect,” senior setter Kaylynn Hixenbaugh said. “I’m actually really surprised with how well everyone has come along since the first game to where we are now.

I’m really proud of us how we’ve accomplished that.”

Hixenbaugh remembered when she joined the varsity squad as a sophomore, and was thrust into the lineup because of an injury to Reedsport’s setter.

“I got pulled into the varsity rotation, so I know how they feel,” she said.

But Hixenbaugh had the benefit of being surrounded by veterans.

“They have other kids around them who are just as scared as they are,” she said of the first few weeks. “Now we are starting to work together more as a team and we trust each other more.”

Sports Marshfield grows into playoff team

Coquille’s Trisha Ray spikes the ball to Creswell on Monday. The Red Devils host Catlin Gabel in the playoffs Saturday.

Coquille thrives on team growth

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COQUILLE — A year ago, Coquille’s volleyball team won just six matches, graduated three seniors and lost a key starter to transfer.

Those types of details don’t often suggest a big year is coming, especially when entering a new, unknown league.

But here the Red Devils are, hosting Catlin Gabel in a playoff match Saturday for a spot in the Class 3A state tournament. The match starts at 4 p.m., with admission set at $6 for adults and $4 for students.

“It’s really been an awesome year,” said Bayli Waddington, one of the varsity squad’s two seniors. “We

work together.”

The Red Devils finished the Mountain Valley Conference in third place, but got a home game in the playoffs because they are ranked eighth in the classification.

Waddington and fellow senior Jessica Hall said they aren’t surprised by Coquille’s situation.

“I knew what we were capable of,” Waddington said. “I knew what our potential was.”

The Red Devils are an interesting mix.

In addition to Hall and Waddington, the primary rotation includes junior Trisha Ray; sophomores Tara Edwards, Esabella Mahlum and Darian Wilson; and freshman McKenna Wilson.

The two Wilsons, who are not sisters, were the only additions to the team, though Edwards and Mahlum only moved up to varsity late in the season last year.

Another junior, Tori Howard, suffered a seasonending knee injury, which took away one of the team’s middle blockers, but coach Dondi Howard, Tori’s mom, settled on a rotation that has proven fruitful.

The Red Devils have setters Waddington and Edwards on the floor all the time, and they are surrounded by potent hitters, with Ray on the middle or outside, Darian Wilson opposite her in the rotation, and the athletic McKenna Wilson and Mahlum opposite each other.

Meneses, from Brazil, has been a valuable supplement as a goal scorer and tried to have a good attitude on coming into a losing team from the get-go.

He made sure he always encouraged his team. Then he went to Eastwood and asked him where he could slot in positions the Pirates lacked. The success doesn’t surprise him.

“I expected good result because we have always practiced hard,” Meneses said. “We had a good squad this season.”

Marshfield is ranked last among the teams that advanced to the play-in round, forcing them to play Philomath, which was the third place team out of the Oregon West Conference.

Marshfield and the Warriors had two common opponents this year. Both teams have played Oregon West’s Newport, with Philomath going 2-0 against their league foe and the Pirates losing 7-0 to the Cubs in Marshfield’s first game of the season. The two teams also both lost to North Bend on the year, Philomath 2-0 at home on Sept. 9 and Marshfield by a combined 13-0 in two separate Civil Wars. Marshfield’s only losses in league came in pairs to Brookings-Harbor and the Bulldogs.

With a rash of seniors graduating, the Pirates understand how vital Saturday is in the grand scope of things.

“This time we have got to win after I was told that Marshfield did not perform well the previous season,” Meneses said. “We had to focus on making history even if it was for once.”

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30 1. New Orleans at Carolina

Hall, the team’s libero, has led the defense.

“We’re a totally different team (from last year),” Hall said. “I love it.

“We all came together as one. We all grew in talent.”

The Red Devils are in the playoffs for the first time since Hall’s older sister, Nikki, was a senior in 2011.

“It’s really cool,” Waddington said. “It’s our senior year and we’ve been looking forward to it since freshman year ... and trying to work up to that level.

“We give 110 percent every practice.”

The Red Devils weren’t able to gain momentum in their final league match Monday, when they fell to top-ranked Creswell. But they weren’t disheartened, either.

“We just need to work on the things we saw tonight, work on the little things we didn’t do well tonight,” Waddington said.

Dondi Howard said the team has done just that.

“We have had two good practices so far, and I’m starting to see a state level play in them,” she said Wednesday.

If the Red Devils beat the Eagles on Saturday, their next stop is the Class 3A state tournament at Lane Community College in Eugene.

COOS BAY — To start off Marshfield’s 2013 boys soccer season, first-year varsity head coach Kevin Eastwood had nine kids and a cloud of dust.

Moving down from Class 5A to Class 4A and into the Far West League, Eastwood had his hands full moving up from heading the junior varsity squad to taking over the varsity team.

But he steadily grew the program and got enough kids eligible to field 15 players by season’s end and finish 4-9-1 in league.

“You give these kids something they can believe in and the support that is required and you should see a positive result,” said Eastwood, who also coaches the Marshfield’s girls team. “I would say this is a great time for these boys to test themselves as individuals.”

The Pirates will be tested in a play-in round matchup Philomath on Saturday, kicking off at 3 p.m. as the senior troupe gets their first postseason match of their career.

“For some of my seniors, this moment has been a long road to get to,” Eastwood said. “Whether you win or lose, just play the best that you can. I’m very proud of all these young gentlemen.”

Those seniors include names like Ryan Reed, Sergio Osorio and Logan Gates, who led Marshfield to go 6-4 in league and 7-7 overall this season.

“We were more familiar with each other than the previous years,” Osorio said.

“We got a few players last year that served as our backbone for this season.”

Add sophomore Darby Imel alongside juniors Brad Dubisar and James Crompton who Osorio says “all got more confident with the ball and in the game” and you have a team getting better with every match.

Marshfield comes into the playoffs winning their last two games against Coquille and Douglas by a combined margin of 15-0.

Then there’s players like Osorio who have clung to the leadership role as captain.

“It was an interesting experience,” Osorio said.

“That changed how I am in public into a more mature and understanding person.”

Marshfield also added a couple of key cogs. Cody Eastwood, Kevin’s son, has

been an impact player as a freshman.

Foreign exchange students Juan Carlos MillanFiguero, Jacob Lonborg and Anderson Meneses have also been vital additions.

Millan-Figuero and Lonborg do a little of everything, from scoring goals to getting back and making tackles.

Willett said.

Tori Foutz had 11 kills and four solo blocks for the Lakers.

Hayley Sturgeon had nine kills and two aces, Brea Mosieur led the defense with 14 digs. Brandi Wilson, who has filled in at setter since Christine Wing’s injury, had 33 assists, seven kills, five

aces and 10 digs.

“We need to clean up a lot on our side before they come to our place next Thursday,” Willett said.

The Lakers follow that match Thursday with crucial home matches against Chemeketa and LinnBenton the following two days.

Sports NBA From Page B1 The Thunder only suited up nine players. Most notably they were without reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant, who had surgery for a fractured bone in his right foot this month and will likely be sidelined until December.

Westbrook picked up the slack, with 38 points, including 26 in the first half.

After trailing for much of the game, Portland pulled to an 89-80 lead with 7 minutes left on Damian Lillard’s 3pointer. Nicolas Batum passed to Aldridge for the alley-oop dunk to put the Blazers up 93-83 and the Thunder could not catch up.

“It felt great,” Aldridge said. “I’ve been waiting for this game for a while.”

Portland outscored the Thunder 31-12 in the fourth quarter. All five Blazers starters were in double figures.

With 14 straight homeopening victories, the Blazers matched the Boston Celtics’ record set from 1979-92.

Also sitting out the opener for the Thunder were guard Reggie Jackson (right ankle), forward Grant Jerrett (ankle surgery), guard Jeremy Lamb (lower back sprain), forward Mitch McGary (left foot fracture) and guard Anthony Morrow (left MCL sprain).

Durant averaged 32 points last season when the Thunder went to the Western Conference finals, carrying the team when Westbrook was nursing a knee injury.

The roles are reversed to start this season.

“I thought we played hard. That’s the only thing I can ask from the guys. Just compete, play hard and play for each other. They did that tonight but we made too many mistakes at the end of the game,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said.

The Blazers opened with the exact same starting lineup as last season, when they won 54 games and advanced to the

second round of the playoffs.

Despite being shorthanded, Oklahoma City took a 13-5 lead on Westbrook’s seven-point outburst.

The Blazers pulled in front 35-34 in the second quarter on a 12-footer from Chris Kaman, picked up by the Blazers as a free agent in the offseason to help backup Robin Lopez.

Westbrook hit five straight free throws to give the Thunder back the lead, and he dunked to close out the half make it 54-49 for Oklahoma City at the break.

Westbrook pushed the lead to 71-65 midway through the third quarter with a layup and the free throw. But the Blazers never let the game get away from them and trailed just 77-75 going into the final quarter.

Bulls 104, Knicks 80: Pau Gasol had 21 points and 11 rebounds in his Chicago debut, Derrick Rose scored 13 points after missing most of the last two seasons, and the Bulls spoiled Derek Fisher’s first game as an NBA coach by beating the New York Knicks.

Reserve Taj Gibson finished with 22 points to lead the Bulls, who with a wealth of frontcourt depth didn’t even need a big night from Rose. The former MVP took only seven shots and had five assists in 21 minutes in a game Chicago led by as much as 35.

Heat 107, Wizards 95: Chris Bosh had 26 points and 15 rebounds, Norris Cole scored a career-high 23 points after winning Miami’s starting point-guard job, and the Heat beat Washington to open the post-LeBron James era.

Dwyane Wade added 21 points for Miam. Luol Deng, part of the class assembled this summer after James departed, scored 12 points.

Marcin Gortat and Drew Gooden led the Wizards with 18 points apiece.

Celtics 121, Nets 105: Rajon Rondo returned from a broken hand and had 13 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds in the season opener to help Boston beat Brooklyn.

REEDSPORT Braves visit Culver for spot in playoffs From Page B1

The Associated Press

Portland center Chris Kaman holds the ball out of the reach of Oklahoma City Thunder center Steve Adams.

Kelly Olynyk had 19 points and Jeff Green added 17 for Boston, which opened a 29-point lead at the end of the third quarter and coasted to the win.

Mirza Teletovic had 20 points and six rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench for the Nets.

Suns 119, Lakers 99: Isaiah Thomas scored 23 points in his Phoenix debut, Marcus Morris matched his career high with five 3pointers and the Suns dominated their season opener against Los Angeles despite Kobe Bryant’s 31 points.

The Lakers were blown out for the second night in a row, dropping their opener at home to Houston 108-90 on Tuesday night, losing firstround draft pick Julius Randle for the season with a broken leg in the process.

Warriors 95, Kings 77: Stephen Curry had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 19 points and undermanned Golden State made Steve Kerr a winner in his coaching debut, rolling past Sacramento.

Marreese Speights added 16 points to help the Warriors overcome the first hurdle of Kerr’s tenure. Golden State played without power for-

ward David Lee (strained left hamstring) and reserve Brandon Rush (lower back spasms). Center Andrew Bogut also was limited to 18 minutes because of an illness.

DeMarcus Cousins had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Sacramento.

Hornets 108, Bucks 106, OT: Kemba Walker made a 21-footer from the top of the key with 5 seconds left in overtime to lift Charlotte past Milwaukee, providing a winning conclusion for fans celebrating the return of the Hornets name after a 12-year absence.

Walker finished with 26 points, including a tying 3pointer with 1.6 seconds left in regulation as the Hornets erased a 24-point thirdquarter deficit.

Brandon Knight led the Bucks with 22 points and 13 assists.

Grizzlies 105,Minnesota 101: Marc Gasol scored a career-high 32 points and Memphis beat Minnesota for the franchise’s first victory in a season opener since 2000.

Thaddeus Young had 26 points in his first game with the Timberwolves, going 10for-18 from the field.

Rockets 104, Jazz 93: Dwight Howard had 22 points

and 10 rebounds and Houston beat Utah to spoil Quin Snyder’s NBA coaching debut.

Alec Burks led Utah with 18 points.

Pacers 103, 76ers 91: Roy Hibbert had 22 points, eight rebounds and seven blocks, leading short-handed Indiana past Philadelphia.

Indiana won its season opener for the fourth consecutive year, even without All-Star swingman Paul George, who is out after breaking his right leg in two places. The Pacers also played without two other starters, power forward David West (sprained right ankle) and guard George Hill (bruised left knee).

Tony Wroten led the 76ers with 22 points.

Raptors 109, Hawks 102: DeMar DeRozan had 15 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in Toronto’s victory over Atlanta.

Kyle Korver, Jeff Teague and Mike Scott each scored 20 points for the Hawks.

Nuggets 89, Pistons 79: Kenneth Faried scored 22 points and had 17 rebounds and Denver beat Detroit in Stan Van Gundy’s first game as the Pistons’ coach.

Josh Smith led Detroit with 25 points.

Senior Britney Manicke rejoined the squad after not playing last year and senior Isabel Lavigne moved up from the JV squad.

Added to the mix along the way were junior Rebecca Noffsinger, sophomores Bailey LaRouche and Emily Lichte and freshmen Heather Wilkes, Natalie Nelson, Gabby Clark and Gabi Parker.

The group’s progress has been a total team effort, Hixenbaugh said.

“The people on the bench are just as important as the people on the court, because they’re there to support us and also relieve us when we need to be taken out,” she said. “It’s good to have them there, especially in practice.

“They make us better by playing us every day.”

Hixenbaugh hopes they are rewarded with a trip to the state tournament.

“It means a lot to me, not only to get back for me, but for the team,” she said. “It would really be good for the freshmen to be there. You get that drive that you want to go back every year.”

It won’t be easy. Culver is ranked second in Class 2A and has won 23 matches in a row. The team’s three losses all came against larger schools.

But Reedsport is much better than when the teams last met on Sept. 27.

Plus, they’re familiar with Culver.

“We know who they have and how they play,” Aguirre said. “We’ll know how to practice for it.

“I feel good about it, as long as we practice hard and go in with a positive attitude.”

Saturday’s match starts at 3 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students.

Sports IndyCar will add two races in 2015 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett (9) congratulates Dreamius Smith following his touchdown during the fourth quarter Saturday.

Games will start to shape playoffs

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Back when the Bowl Championship Series decided major college football’s champion, its defenders would talk about how it enhanced the regular season and how a larger playoff would take away from it.

That wasn’t true, and now there’s proof.

By expanding the postseason ever so slightly to add two games, the College Football Playoff has widened the field, given far more t e a m s championship hopes and created more big games.

With 18-one loss teams and only three unbeatens in FBS, there is reason to think even a conference champion with two losses could have a chance to reach the first football final four.

“When it’s all said and done there’s going to be a lot of two-loss teams,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Wednesday. “We’re trying to position ourselves to be the best.”

Swinney’s Tigers are off his weekend so he’ll get to take in some pivotal contests with playoff implications that most didn’t see coming in September.

No. 10 TCU (6-1, 3-1) is at No. 20 West Virginia (6-2, 41) in a matchup of Big 12 bounce-back teams. The Horned Frogs and Mountaineers combined for eight victories last season.

The winner will still controls its future in the Big 12.

In the Pac-12, No. 18 Utah

College Picks

(6-1, 3-1) visits No. 15 Arizona State (6-1, 4-1). The Utes missed the postseason last year. The Sun Devils played for the Pac-12 title, but replaced almost their entire defense and quarterback Taylor Kelly has missed a chunk of the season. Control of the Pac-12 South is up for grabs in this one and both have potentially huge games next week. The Utes host No. 5 Oregon and the Sun Devils welcome No. 6 Notre Dame.

Utah will be without leading receiver Dres Anderson, who was lost for the season to a knee injury.

At the top of the playoff rankings, Florida State is at Louisville and Auburn plays at Mississippi. So for anyone who didn’t like the first rankings, just give it a couple of days.

“This is college football, it changes weekly and sometimes dramatically,” Swinney said.

PRO FOOTBALL Hernandez lawyers will ask for trial to be moved

FALL RIVER, Mass. — Lawyers for former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez were set to go before a judge today in Fall River Superior Court to argue that his trial in the 2013 killing of a semiprofessional football player should be moved because of intense pretrial media coverage.

Hernandez’s lawyers argued in a court filing that a “relentless avalanche of pretrial publicity” has had a “devastating effort” on the jury pool in the area of southeastern Massachusetts, where the killing took place.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, who’d been dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.

Hernandez’s lawyers have said a poll they commissioned found that 7 in 10 UNRANKED BUT NOT adults in Bristol County UNINTERESTING believe Hernandez is either Indiana (plus 7) at definitely or probably Michigan guilty.

Panthers, Saints battle for division lead

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Back in 2010, New Orleans went 11-5 and Seattle was 7-9. But the Saints were a wild card for the playoffs and the Seahawks won their division.

So off to the Great Northwest the Saints traipsed, where they were dismissed from the postseason by the Seahawks.

Now, it’s New Orleans — or any team from the struggling NFC South — that could wind up benefiting from the NFL’s setup that rewards all division winners.

For Thursday night’s matchup with 1 Carolina, the Saints are 2 ⁄ 2-point favorites over the Panthers in this, uh, battle for NFC South supremacy.

Carolina has played a difficult schedule that includes losses to Seattle, Green Bay, Baltimore and Pittsburgh and a tie with Cincinnati. The Panthers (3-4-1) lead the sector by percentage points over New Orleans (3-4), which has won every home game and lost all the road contests. With Atlanta (2-6) and Tampa Bay (1-6) not in the mix, the division looks like a two-team crawl to Week 17.

“You know, winning your division is going to get you a home game in the playoffs,” Saints tackle Zach Strief said.

“Certainly there’s all sorts of goals and there’s big picture, small picture and I think what we’ve tried to do is really focus on the smallest picture, and that’s our own team getting better,” Saints coach Sean Payton added. “As much is said and written week to week about how the league’s doing, who’s playing well, who’s not, if you can really focus on how to improve yourself, I think that handles itself.”

Can the Saints handle a huge intradivision road challenge? We think so, barely ... SAINTS, 28-27.

Tavernier said last year’s team was shaken up and had a lot of drama floating around it. Plus, on the day of the Ridgeview match, they were rushed and couldn’t do their pre-game rituals, which is never conducive to comforting superstitious people.

The three seniors placed third in 2012, so they know what it takes to make a deep run in the state playoffs.

“I want to do better than that,” Clough said. “I feel like for senior year, I should improve from sophomore year. And I expect us to place, I expect us to do really well.”

Marshfield didn’t give up a set for the first three-quarters of the league season until dropping the third against North Bend on Oct. 16. The Pirates lost two sets overall while posting an unbeaten league record.

They won the past 11 matches coming into Saturday, going 30-3 in sets through that stretch since the Pirates lost last to Creswell at the Santiam Christian tournament on Sept. 27.

Besides the seniors, Hailee Woolsey was named Far West League player of the year following the regular season. Shaylynn Jensen was name setter of the year and Bryant the libero of the year.

They will also look to McKenzie Allison, Carli Clarkson and Katie Sharp

in the fourth quarter of his NBA debut in Los Angeles’ season-opening loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. Randle was strapped to a wheeled stretcher and taken off the Staples Center court after colliding with two Rockets and landing awkwardly.

Hornets forward admits domestic violence EAST LANSING, Mich. — Charlotte Hornets forward Jeffery Taylor pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge and admitted he pushed his girlfriend at a hotel in Michigan.

Taylor pleaded guilty in East Lansing District Court to domestic abuse and malicious destruction of property charges. He faces up to 93 days in jail, but prosecutors say they won’t oppose a diversion program that could clear Taylor’s record if he complies with probation rules.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped an assault and battery charge involving an employee at a M a r r i o t h o te l i n E a s t Lansing. Authorities have said that Taylor attacked h i s g i rl f r i e n d a n d t h e employee Sept. 25. After his arrest, the Hornets banned Taylor from all team-related activities.

SOCCER Dallas beats Whitecaps to advance in playoffs FRISCO, Texas — Michel scored on a penalty kick in the 84th minute and FC Dallas beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 on Wednesday night to advance in the MLS Cup playoffs.

Dallas was awarded the kick after penalty Vancouver’s Kendall Waston was whistled for a handball inside the penalty area.

Dallas (17-12-6) took a 10 lead in the 40th minute on Tesho Akindele’s slotted shot. Mauro Diaz dribbled through two defenders near midfield, worked his way down the field and fed an open Akindele inside the box.

The goal ended Vancouver’s four-game shutout streak.

The Whitecaps hadn’t given up a goal since the 57th minute against Real Salt Lake on Sept. 27.

Erik Hurtado tied it at 1 in the 64th minute for Vancouver (12-9-14). A deflected ball fell to Hurtado’s feet and his shot deflected inside the near post.

FC Dallas will play topseeded Seattle in the Western Conference semifinals.

to try and atone for last year’s loss.

“The ones that were playing in the game last year have a bitter taste in their mouth,” Marshfield head coach Tammie Montiel said. “They definitely don’t want that feeling again and they’re ready to come out and do whatever it takes to get to the state tournament.”

Montiel said on Wednesday that she doesn’t really know anything about Astoria and the Fishermen’s personnel besides a quick peek at their roster.

“I obviously think we can play with any 4A team in the state,” Montiel said. “It’s just going to be a matter of if everybody can be on, and if somebody’s not on, can we realize that and hide their weaknesses, then pull out someone’s strength that night (to compensate).”

Coming into Saturday, Bryant has been out all week with a nagging back issue. “(I’m a) little injured, but whatevs,” Bryant shook off the injury, saying she will for sure be suiting up against the Fisherman. “After that game last year, I just want it so much more this year.”

For a year that had the regular season act a precursor for the shot this Saturday, it’s hard for the Pirates to believe the game against Astoria is only hours away.

“Now that it’s here, it feels like it came really quickly,” Bryant said. “I think we’re really prepared to bring all we have Saturday.”

BRIDGE James Callaghan, a former prime minister of Great Britain, said, “A leader must have the courage to act against an expert’s advice.”

However, you had better pick your moments carefully. In general, an expert’s advice will be right almost all of the time. In this deal, look only at the West hand and the auction. What should he lead against six spades?

I approve strongly of North’s two-

heart response, showing a respectable suit and at least eight high-card points (or a terrific seven).

When South rebid two spades, North sensibly showed his second suit. (He was tempted to rebid two no-trump, but if they belonged in no-trump, he knew that South ought to be the declarer.) When North raised spades, South might have control-bid (cue-bid) five clubs, but he used Blackwood.

What should West have led against six spades? In general, do not lead a side suit bid by the opponents (unless you are strong in that suit, of course). That would suggest choosing a trump (which works perfectly) or the diamond ace (which is a disaster). At the table, though, West led a highly debatable heart 10. South took dummy’s two winners, discarding his two minor-suit fours, then played a diamond to his jack. (He was confident that with queen-high diamonds, West would have led that suit.)

West won and played another heart, but South ruffed, cashed his diamond king, ruffed a diamond in the dummy, drew trumps, and claimed.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014 Don’t lose sight of what’s important to you. If you have been trying to do too much for too long, you will lose your purpose. Get your priorities in order, and simplify your life.

Peace of mind and your personal well-being must not be sacrificed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A situation will be out of your hands.

Despite your help and caring, someone close to you will be faced with difficulties. Quiet support will be a welcome response.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You have a unique way of looking at things. Where some see only problems, you see solutions.

Get-togethers will lead to a stimulating discussion and an interesting offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Extra cash can be made.

Professional gains will improve if you make a move. New opportunities, contracts or smart investments will prove to be very lucrative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You will receive mixed signals from someone close to you. Talk it out until you are sure you are both in agreement. Working together will help fix the problem.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Make sure that any donation you make is legitimate. Anyone can print out brochures or make soliciting phone calls. It is up to you to do your research before you help.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you feel like partying, host one. If you use your imagination, you will entice diverse, interesting people to accept your invitation. Some amazing connections will be made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t criticize others. Chances are, you are not privy to all of the information required to make a judgment call. If you show interest, perhaps you will be included in the fine details.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You have a lot to offer, so don’t be too shy to share your beliefs and concepts with a broad range of people. What you offer will lead to a proposal.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2014 Take control of your life. You can’t accomplish everything all at once, so make a commitment and plan your time accordingly. If you take on more than you can realistically handle, you won’t know which way to turn and are likely to end up disappointed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Provide stability to loved ones. Don’t be afraid to leap into action, setting budgets and a strategy that will ensure greater security and peace of mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — People from other cultural backgrounds have different ways of looking at life. If you listen and observe, you will be inspired to utilize some of what you discover.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Make the most of your options.

Utilize every opportunity to push your ideas forward. If you network, a job offer will give you a chance to show others what you can do.

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2004 Acura RL that had developed an intermittent headlight problem where one of the headlights would go off unexpectedly.

The quick solution was to turn the lights off and then immediately back on, and the faulty headlight also would come back on. My local Acura dealer’s service department indicated that any one of three separate headlight components could be the culprit, and that it is not possible to test them separately. They advised replacing all three, since the labor to replace any one of them individually would be the same. They gave a prerepair estimate of about $1,100! I finally agreed, because it is not really safe to go around with a headlight that might fail at an inappropriate moment. The total bill was as follows: Inverter — $364, igniter — $180, bulb — $178, labor (including removing and replacing the front bumper to access the headlight unit) — $318. With 7 percent sales tax, the total repair came to $1,113. Have I just been given a good hosing, or are these reasonable charges for this type of repair for this vehicle? — Kyle RAY: Yes, and yes.

TOM: First, I want to say that I’m impressed with their estimate — off by only 13 bucks on a thousand-dollar-plus job. That makes me think they’ve already done this repair a few times.

RAY: And that’s why they suggested replacing all three components, Kyle. I’m sure at some point in history, they replaced just the bulb for some customer, charged him $500, and then had to go back in and replace the inverter and igniter, and charge him another $900.

TOM: That’s not a phone call you want to make twice if you’re a service manager.

RAY: So yes, these are reasonable “dealership rate” charges for the work you had done. And yes, you also got hosed, because Acura designed a car that requires you to remove the front bumper in order to change a headlight bulb.

TOM: This is a classic hidden cost of owning a high-end car. When you bought the RL back in 2004,

CAR

TALK

TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI you probably paid dearly for the HID (high-intensitydischarge) headlights. What you didn’t know is that you’d have to pay dearly again when the bulb blew out.

RAY: The salesman probably told you (if you even thought to ask) that the HID bulbs are designed to last the life of the car, so you wouldn’t have to worry about it.

But of course, “life of the car” parts don’t always last the life of the car.

TOM: And by the way, keep in mind that you may have to replace the bulb on the other side at some point, too. So start saving.

RAY: When buying a car, if you’re planning to keep it for the long haul, it’s worth thinking about the features you want to opt for.

TOM: Those motorized sliding doors on that minivan are convenient for letting your kids in and out.

They’re supposed to last the life of the car, too. But how do you feel about shelling out $1,000 when the door motor goes?

RAY: The air suspension is a comfy touch. It should last the life of the car. But how many thousands will it cost when it breaks, compared with a set of shocks?

TOM: And those 22-inch alloy wheels look sharp. But when you dent one on a pothole, how long are you going to cry when they tell you a replacement wheel costs $800?

RAY: So, we’re sorry you had to pay so dearly to get your headlight back, Kyle.

But I don’t think it’s the dealer’s fault. It’s a bit of shortsighted engineering

by Acura, combined with the price of advanced technology.

Are warranties worth it?

Dear Tom and Ray: We just picked up a new Fiat 500C, and we were pondering the lifetime warranty.

Before the car hits 10,000 miles, we have to decide whether to buy it. The cost is around $3,000. Is something like this worth it? We would like to keep the car for 10-15 years. Cheers! — Karl RAY: Generally speaking, extended warranties are not worth it. Why? Because if insurance companies didn’t take in more money from premiums — overall — than they spent on repairs, they would stop selling the things.

TOM: But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it to you.

Maybe you’re buying a car with unknown long-term reliability? Hint: You are.

RAY: Or maybe you’re someone who sleeps better knowing for certain that you’ll never get a call from the service manager telling you that the estimate for your new engine is $6,400.

TOM: But there are two variables to consider. The most important is the fine print.

R A Y : What does this “lifetime warranty” actually cover? Is it a complete extension of the factory warranty?

Is it just the powertrain?

Does it cover body hardware and electrical issues? What, specifically, is excluded?

“Wear items,” like brakes and shocks?

T O M : What’s the deductible? Are there conditions you have to meet to keep the warranty in force?

For instance, do you have to

get your car serviced regularly at the dealership? Do you have to keep written records of all of your services and oil changes?

RAY: If you don’t feel capable of doing a “close read” of the warranty’s fine print by yourself, then it’s worth paying an independent mechanic you trust to read it and go over it with you. You want to know what is and isn’t covered. Your mechanic also can talk to you about how often he sees the kinds of repairs that are covered, and how often he sees those that aren’t.

T O M : Once you know what kind of warranty you’re actually buying, then you can try to guess the likelihood that you’ll spend $3,000 on those kinds of repairs in the years that you own your car.

RAY: Also keep in mind that the price of the warranty is negotiable. Like most “parts,” an extended warranty is bought by the dealer at one price, and sold to you at a higher price — sometimes double. So you often can negotiate a lower price.

TOM: But don’t do anything until you understand what the warranty actually covers. It may be a great warranty, with a low deductible and very few exclusions or requirements.

And it may help you sleep well for the next 15 years.

RAY: Or it may have more holes in it than my brother’s favorite underwear. And you may decide you’re better off buying a second Fiat 500C and just driving whichever one is working on a given day. Good luck, Karl.
