Bandon Water Resource Committee resigns

BY AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — All seven members of the city’s Water Resource Committee have resigned after being told they could not campaign for a measure they urged the City Council to put on the ballot.

Members had prepared material for an upcoming forum on Ballot Measure 6-150, which would give rate-setting authority back to the council, and were told by deputy City Attorney Shala Kudlac at their meeting

last Tuesday that their material wasn’t neutral enough.

Kudlac told the committee, which re-formed in July to study water issues facing Bandon, that state law prohibits public employees from advocating for or against candidates, measures or petitions during work time.

According to Oregon Revised Statue 260.432, Oregon election law allows elected officials to communicate with their constituents about election issues SEE BANDON | A8

Candidates face off in CB

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — Four area candidates squared off Monday night as the race for the Coos County commission and state representative seat heat up.

The public got a chance to hear from Coos County commissioner John Sweet and his challenger Don Gurney and House District 9 Rep. Caddy McKeown, D-Coos Bay, and her opponent, Casey Runyan, RReedsport, Monday night at the Coquille Indian Tribe community center.

Both Gurney and Sweet cited their long history in Coos County as reasons for why they’re running.

Sweet said he’s “well-versed in the things that make Coos County run,” referencing his work at Sause Bros., banking positions, farming and forestry. Gurney said he wants to be “everyone’s commissioner.”

Sweet defended the commissioners’ decision to hire a timber lobbyist in Washington, D.C., against Phil Thompson questioning why the county didn’t instead turn to Gurney.

“We realized No. 1 that our interest in the Coos Bay Wagon Road lands ... was unique,” Sweet said. “We couldn’t keep track of what was going on in Washington, D.C. without having someone right there on the spot, reporting back to us what was going on with timber

legislation.”

But the O&C lands legislation has stalled, Gurney said. Nothing has changed.

“I feel I could do the job the lobbyist did,” Gurney said. “I understand the frustration of not knowing what’s going on, but nothing went on, so the lobbyist didn’t really accomplish anything because we’re still in the situation where no bill has been passed or changed.”

Sweet and Gurney further differed on their views on job creation.

“I don’t think the county can make jobs. Private industry makes SEE CANDIDATES | A8

NB police Marijuana grows endanger animal gets new K-9 officer

BY JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press

INSIDE

NORTH BEND — The North Bend Police Department will have a new set of eyes and four legs on patrol at the end of year.

Last September, the North Bend City Council awarded the purchase of a $9,000 detection police K-9 to the department following the retirement of the previous officer.

The animal was purchased from a Police K-9 provider in Dorris, Calif., and with the price of the animal, shipping and training, the total cost is about $12,000.

The department’s K-9 fund recently had anonymous donations that covered the total costs.

For about seven years the department had Bruno, a German Shepherd patrol K9 that assisted officers in tracking down missing persons and detaining suspects.

Bruno was stricken with cancer and was forced to retire last June.

Bruno died the following month.

“It’s a difficult thing,” said Chief Robert Kappelman. “These dogs are just as capable and trained as our officers, and for the handler of the animal who is constantly with him, it’s especially hard.”

Kappelman said that since loosing Bruno, the department has had to rely on other police departments for a K-9 unit.

Although the other departments, especially Coos Bay, have helped with the workload, the purchase of the new K-9 will help tremendously, he said.

For Kappelman, Bruno’s main job was tracking and detaining while the new K-9 will be specifically for drug detection.

Kappelman said that a drug detection K9 will be the best compliment for the community and law enforcement.

The training for the K-9 should be completed at the end of this month.

“We expect it to hit the streets at the end of the year,” Kappelman said.

Roseburg VA critics: Agency mangled our comments ROSEBURG (AP) — Veterans critical of the way the Veterans Affairs hospital in Roseburg has been run say their comments at a town hall meeting were not accurately passed on to officials in Washington, D.C. A comparison of the transcript of the meeting and the report submitted by hospital officials showed some comments praising whistleblowers and criticism of “top-heavy management” disappeared from the report, the Roseburg News-Review said.

The agency has been rocked by criticism, and the VA’s new secretary, Robert McDonald, required hospitals to hold the meetings with veterans and others. Roseburg’s was Sept. 4.

A spokesman for Roseburgarea critics says a summary of the comments didn’t adequately address the concerns of veterans, including what some said were delays in access, lack of mental health and women’s services, and high turnover of providers.

“I don’t think it met what the VA secretary was asking for. He wanted the pure input from veterans, and he didn’t get it,” said Jim Little of the Douglas County Veterans Forum.

The group sent a transcript last week to Washington, D.C., along with a letter of complaint.

The summary was prepared using an agency template, and it was complete and accurate, said spokeswoman Carrie Boothe of

the Roseburg Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

“We are confident that our report is comprehensive and an accurate summation of the concerns raised,” Boothe said. “We did not submit an entire transcription of the two-hour meeting as the forum requested us to do, because our report was inclusive, comprehensive, and provided accurate documentation of the event.”

The News-Review said one comment about keeping doctors in rural areas such as Douglas County was summarized as, “How come we can’t get and keep doctors here? Systems problems; square it away.”

GRANTS PASS — Citing a threat from rat poison used on illegal marijuana plantations, federal biologists on Monday proposed Endangered Species Act protection for West Coast populations of the fisher, a larger cousin of the weasel.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published notice in the Federal Register that it wants to list the fisher as a threatened species in Oregon, California and Washington.

The full proposal was expected Tuesday.

Other reasons for the proposal include the loss of forest habitat to wildfire, logging and urban development, disease, being eaten by other predators, illegal fur trapping and climate change.

The fisher is the second species in the West for which biologists have formally recognized a threat from marijuana cultivation.

A recovery plan for coho salmon calls for reducing pollution from pesticides and fertilizers used on pot plantations; decreasing illegal water withdrawals from salmon streams; and easing clear-cut logging.

Scientists are also working to see how

The full proposal notes that 84 percent of the 77 fisher carcasses found in California’s northwestern mountains and the southern Sierra Nevada tested positive for rat poison.

A map shows that virtually all fisher habitat includes illegal marijuana growing sites.

Six of the eight fishers tested on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington tested positive, said Mourad Gabriel, executive director of the Integral Ecology Research Center.

Gabriel says fishers eat fish- and meat flavored poisons directly, or ingest prey that ate the poison used to kill rats that might eat young marijuana plants.

“There are hundreds upon hundreds of grows still out there — old remnant grows,” Gabriel said. “When we visit those, we are still finding rodenticide packaged in plastic containers.”

The fisher is a house-cat-sized predator that makes its home in cavities in large dead trees and is one of the few predators to prey on porcupines. It has been a candidate for protection since 2004. The current proposal to list it as a threatened species is the result of a lawsuit settlement involving conservation groups.

said he had talked with doctors who arrived in Douglas County and loved the area, citing the outdoors and fishing.

“There must be something screwed up with the system,” the transcript read. “There are plenty of doctors even young doctors who are willing to come here because they like the area so don’t tell us you can’t get good doctors to come here. Correct the system so we get decent doctors and decent health care.”

The director of the Roseburg hospital, Carol Bogedain, had come under criticism by the group and said last week she would resign within days rather than waiting for a planned endof-the-year retirement.

Woodland Drive traffic will detour for water main project this week

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — The Ocean Boulevard Water Main Replacement Project is set to be completed as scheduled, meaning commuters can expect some delays this week as a result of temporary road closures.

The project, which targets substantial completion

by Nov. 3 and overall completion by Dec. 3, will force a portion of Woodland Drive to be closed at various points Monday through Wednesday.

Woodland Drive will be impacted between Ocean Court and Myrtle Avenue from 7 p.m. Monday to 7 a.m. Tuesday and from 7 p.m. Tuesday to noon

Wednesday.

The water main project, which replaces the 8-inch diameter pipe with a 20inch pipe, helps realize the potential of the water treatment plant, Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board project manager Ron Hoffine said.

The new main line will connect to the Pony Creek Treatment Plant and provide redundant transmission service to the distribution system.

From a superficial standpoint, the project will look completed by Nov. 3, Hoffine said.

“All of the work visible to the public will be done by Nov. 3 with the paving complete and new asphalt placed back in the trench,” Hoffine said. “All the pipe is in the

ground and the only delays are at the connections points.”

Hoffine attributed the delays at the connection points to issues the contractor was having with the electronic actuators, which won’t be installed until the end of November.

The final touches to the project will not affect the community as it will require one day of work, estimated to take place at the end of November, Hoffine said.

For more information regarding the project or road closure, community members are encouraged to contact the board at 541267-3128.

State unemployment rose in September SALEM — Even as more Oregonians got jobs last month, the unemployment rate still eked up to 7.2 percent, the Oregon Employment Department’s monthly report shows.

The state added 2,900 seasonally adjusted nonfarm jobs last month at the same time the unemployment rate increased from 6.9 to 7.2 percent. That’s because there was bigger growth in the labor force than in the number of jobs created, the employment department says.

Job creation continues to rise, increasing 12 times in the past 14 months. That puts the number of jobs 40,700 higher than a year

ago and 127,300 higher than the recessionary low. Oregon is 20,100 jobs away from the prerecession employment peak in December 2007.

Manufacturing continued its four-year expansion to the glowing report, adding 5,500 jobs during the last 12 months. Nearly 19,000 manufacturing jobs have been added in the last five years.

Professional and business services and manufacturing added the most to August’s job growth: 900 and 1,000 more jobs, respectively.

August’s 7.2 percent unemployment rate is the highest since November, but far below the recession high of 11.6 percent in June 2009.

A reasoned and thoughtful approach Our view Coos Bay schools has the right approach in dealing with drug and alcohol use among youth.

What do you think?

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

The Coos Bay School Board and Superintendent Dawn Granger had one of those “difficult” discussions a few weeks ago — student drug use.

Granger had presented the board a districtwide alcohol and drug report for the 201314 year. What followed the presentation was, in our minds, a thoughtful and realistic discussion that should result in positive policies for kids.

The district could be considered lucky on a couple of fronts with this issue.

First, the board has made sure schools have plenty of counseling support to address the issue when stu-

dents are found to have strayed.

Second, according to the report, 44 students in grades 6-12 were caught with drugs or alcohol last year. That’s just under 4 percent of the student body for that age group and sounds pretty low and manageable.

In some ways that low number mirrors trends nationwide. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, alcohol use among teens continues to fall off, as does experimentation with cocaine, inhalants and synthetic drugs. Only marijuana use continues to creep up, experts guess because of changing public perception

on pot.

Here at home, the school board is looking at a number of ways to address the issue, including interventions like in-school suspension, rather than kicking a kid out of school; and proactive counseling before students get themselves in trouble.

Granger said that the district would also begin introducing refusal skills counseling for fourth and fifth graders to arm youngsters to resist temptation and peer pressure.

And, she is going to ask school administrators to become more vigilant in seeking out students suspected of experimenting —

not to mete out punishment, but to get those kids the help and support they need.

Granger says she isn’t naïve. As the district becomes more proactive, those statistics likely will go up. But as she told us recently: “If you don’t go looking for a problem, you won’t find it. But we can’t be that way.”

This is a refreshing approach to an issue that all too often is addressed with punitive measures that miss what’s really going on in our youngsters’ lives. And by acting now, the school district should be successful in keeping those already low numbers down.

It’s not always about politics When you hear Rep. Darrell Issa, one of the president’s harshest Republican critics in the House, demanding to know whether the president is safe, it’s tempting to believe that, at least for a moment, partisan politics has been put to one side in what should be a united and nonpolitical commitment to the safety of our president and his family.

Tempting — but like so much in Washington, there seems to be no escaping the politics.

Democrats are worrying out loud — which is to say on television and in print — that the Republicans will (and are) using the security lapses as one more opportunity to paint the Obama administration as incompetent. The press has spent almost as much time, or more, on the politics, as it has been trying to figure out what the real problems are. A “two-fer” — that’s what one Democrat called it in The New York Times, describing the politics and meaning that Republicans get to sound off on security (a serious and important topic) and make the Obama administration the target of their attacks, even if it was the president and his family who were potentially at risk.

Yes, it’s true that the president appointed the head of the Secret Service, Julia Pierson, SUSAN three years ago. But he ESTRICH hardly instructed her to Columnist cut corners on his safety or that of his wife and children. And yet there was the president’s press secretary (the day before Pierson resigned) seeking to deflect aggressive questioning about who knew what and when — as if the president were trying to understate or dismiss or downplay an issue where he, quite literally, is the one with the most to lose.

Pierson had to go because, as the Greeks say, the fish rots from the head, and when you’re the head of an agency that has been publicly humiliated, you go. That doesn’t mean the security breaches were the product of anything she did, let alone the fault of the president or his party. Presidents are loath to criticize the Secret Service for many reasons, including that these are the men and women who risk their lives to protect the president and his family and are with them 24/7.

The president’s security is an American issue, not a Democratic or Republican one.

So is the arrival of Ebola, not only in the form of one case in America, but also in the outbreaks in cities across Africa with no capacity to handle it. So is the spread of Islamic extremism, and campus sexual assault and virtually every other issue that anyone — and I mean anyone who isn’t playing politics inside the Beltway — worries about.

Try this test. Pick up your local paper and tell me: How many of the issues that people in your community are concerned about are “partisan” issues? We may have different approaches, but outside of Washington, they rarely bear a party label.

What to do, we ask each other, and shake our heads. Oh, my goodness, we say, when we hear that the president’s house — or our next-door neighbor’s — was broken into.

Of course, this is an election season, and a host of close races may end up deciding who controls the Senate, which may end up determining who serves as attorney general and who is appointed to other key positions. Elections matter. There are differences between the candidates. But what the security breach — like the awful beheadings, like the spread of Ebola — should remind us is that most of the problems that rightly concern and even terrify us are not caused by partisan politics and will not be solved by partisan politics.

Letters to the Editor Vote ‘yes’ on the Charter Just how stupid do they think the voters are?

Here you have the same-o, same-o good ol’ boys whining about the Coos County Home Rule Charter, Measure 6-149, as if it were the end of life as we know it.

The voters get it. They understand that this Charter puts them back at the political table, literally gives them their voice back.

The voters really like four commissioners having to agree on an action before it passes: No more two people deciding on issues that affect all 63,000 of us.

The voters don’t want an unelected, unresponsive, overpaid, golden-parachuted county manager who will not listen to the voters, cannot be hired or fired by the voters, and who will be a wellpaid lobbyist for the good ol’ boy, cronyism, closed-circle status quo local elite. Remember? We voted that down in 2012. Hello?

The voters are enthusiastic about having a say in whether we sell our county forests, get tangled up in expensive contracts, grant pay raises. And as to “all that voting,” “all that expense,” maybe millions (?) — let’s ask again: Just how stupid do they think we are? (And just how many of those issues are they planning, anyway?)

The state has four regularly scheduled voting days each year: March, May, September and November. Surely the commissioners could schedule any necessary votes for one of those times? And voting here in Oregon does not entail going to the polls in the wind and cold rain. No, you fill out your ballot in the comfort of your home, sign it and send it back. So where’s the big sweat?

Well, here’s the big sweat: The good ol’ boys (and girls) see their apple carts tipping, with perks and privileges spilling out all over the place! And that is precisely what is giving them the screaming heebie jeebies.

They do not want you in control. They like running things.

Take control. Push back. Put it

in writing. Vote yes on the Charter. Yes on 6-149.

“Protecting the rights of the voters over the privileges of the few.”

Ronnie Herne Coquille

Vote ‘no’ on the Charter The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, after a careful review of the proposal, has voted to oppose the Home Rule Charter (Measure 6-149) written by ARRRG. The Home Rule Charter increases the oversight of county government by subjecting most major decisions to a vote of the people. While this may be seen as a noble intention, it will effectively stymie the ability of county government to operate efficiently; will waste money and manpower with its reporting and administrative burdens and its election provisions. County officials, including those who were elected, appointed or hired, are expected to make business decisions every day for the benefit of the citizens of Coos County. This Home Rule Charter removes much of this decision making from your county officials and forces the public to make the decisions for them on such items as giving cost of living increases to county employees or making changes to the county’s comprehensive land use plan.

The Charter adds two more commissioners at an estimated additional annual cost of $200,000 a year and adds a new position of “Chief Maintenance Officer,” whose duties are illdefined. It does not say where the money for these new positions will come from. The Charter changes the voting procedures for electing commissioners by doing away with the primary process and electing them at large, in the general election, which means that the top vote getters get the seats even if they do not receive a majority of the votes. Also, attending select training for law enforcement and other departments, giving testimony on federal bills which impact us or

working on regional grant opportunities which benefit the county, would be impossible for our county employees or elected officials under the proposed charter, if those activities took place outside Oregon.

These are just a few of the troubling short comings in the proposal. There are better, more balanced and efficient ways to effect change in county government than this Home Rule Charter.

The Chamber urges all county voters to oppose the Home Rule Charter proposal by voting no on Measure 6-149.

McKeown stand on gun rights?

For those unaware, the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund (NRAPVF) recently announced their endorsements for the 2014 general election. As a candidate for Oregon’s House District 9, I have some questions for the incumbent.

For Rep. Caddy McKeown, it seems to me that such an endorsement would be difficult being that no voting record pertaining to 2013’s seven anti-gun Senate bills and the four antigun House bills is available for the general public to read.

However, this is not the case.

Rep. McKeown has been endorsed by NRA-PVF with an A grade (not the highest grade by NRA for incumbents, but who’s concern is that?).

Does Rep. McKeown hold an NRA membership; whether an annual or life membership? Has Rep. McKeown held Oregon gun owners in high priority? How about when the Second Amendment was on the chopping block in 2013?

How does Rep. McKeown conceive the audacity to align herself with diehard supporters and protectors of the Second Amendment when there is no factual evidence of her doing

anything in the name of Oregonian gun owners over the past two years in Salem? Does Rep. McKeown even own a firearm?

Once again, the NRA is making compromises based on assumptions with our liberties hanging in the balance. For gun owners, hunters, and all sportsman in House District 9, the choice is crystal clear because I am a life member of the NRA, something I am now beginning to regret, but I have been an annual member since 2010, which I upgraded to life this year.

I have been a member of Oregon Firearms Federation since 2012 when I realized OFF is the membership all Oregon gun owners should have, and will not compromise anything in exchange of our liberties. I have stood up against infringements since the fallout of Sandy Hook.

The knee-jerk reactions that followed were seen 100 miles away and I was not going to sit down as your liberties were eroded away.

Oregon Firearms Federation has endorsed my candidacy with an A grade, something not given to candidates seeking office for the first time. But unlike Rep. McKeown, I earned that A. I’m a gun owner that carries everyday and I fight for your inherent liberty to do so, as well. Remaining passive on the issue isn’t doing anybody any favors. This is why I’m getting involved in state politics.

Casey Runyan candidate, Oregon House District 9

State Mom gets great pleasure from a well-made bed DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have four great kids. They are wellbehaved, respectful and full of fun. Hubby and I are having a disagreement concerning them, however.

I am an admitted DEAR “bed snob.”

I make every bed in the house every day, just the way I want them done.

It makes me crazy when JEANNE my husPHILLIPS b a n d insists that the kids do it themselves.

Our kids have homework, daily chores they alternate (cleaning the kitchen after dinner, doing laundry, etc.), as well as what we call “Chore Day Sunday,” which is a family affair when everyone has a list of larger chores to complete. The kids know how to make their beds because I have taught them, and I feel that insisting they make their beds daily, too, is silly.

I ENJOY doing this small thing. Am I crazy or is he overreacting? — HOMEMAKER IN GEORGIA DEAR H OM E M A K E R : You’re not crazy. I’d be curious to know why your husband feels so strongly about this, particularly since the kids know how to make their beds and you have made clear that you do it because you enjoy it.

Having their beds made for them won’t scar your offspring for life, so ask “Hubby” to indulge you by letting it go and not creating a problem where one doesn’t exist.

DEAR ABBY: Two of my granddaughters have posted pictures on Instagram that show them facing away from the camera with their bottoms covered and their tops nude. They said this is part of the “Topless Tour.”

They said it’s no big deal because it only shows their back and “everyone does it.”

I feel it is inappropriate to post something like this on social media. Will you please share your opinion?

— GRANDMA IN UTAH DEAR GRANDMA: I think it’s unwise, but the times they are a-changin’ and along with them, the current fads. The Topless Tour — photos of topless women shot from the rear in a scenic location and posted on social media — is just another one of them. Calm down and thank your higher power that this fad is tame.

At one point, people were lowering their pants and “mooning” passing trains and cars.

DEAR ABBY: What kind of advice do you have for a guy who is falling in love with a co-worker? We are nurses in a fast-paced intensive care unit. We greatly depend on each other to provide patient care and emotional support.

There are so many reasons I want to tell her how I feel, but the fear of messing things up with her scares me. — R.N. WITH A SECRET DEAR R.N.: Not knowing what the policy at your hospital is regarding workplace romances, you’d be wise to start slowly. I assume you see her outside the ICU. A way to start would be to ask her to join you for lunch, coffee, or a drink and “quick dinner” after work. If she says yes, it means she could be interested in you, too. If not — perhaps because she’s involved with already someone — you won’t be embarrassed.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Six winners in the generic vs. name-brand competition What do you associate with the word “generic?” Do the words “inferior” or “tastes like cardboard” come to mind? Or do you, like so many people, associate name brands with people who are well to do, while EVERYDAY people in CHEAPSKATE p o ve r t y opt for generics?

All of that is hogwash.

The truth is that generics are often a great Mary b u y Hunt b e ca u se the quality of the product is exactly equal or better than the name-brand counterpart. Here are six winners.

Cereal. There is no reason you should be paying $4 a box for cereal when you can buy the generic brand 30 percent cheaper. In several blind test studies, kids who were given generic and brand-name cereals could not tell a difference. If your kids are picky about their favorite cereal, try combining the name brand and the generic brand in a plastic container so they can’t see the difference. Gradually move the mix to more and more generic, until they’ve made the switch.

Medication. If you are buying name brands such as Advil, Tylenol, Bayer Aspirin, Prilosec, Zyrtec, Claritin and Sudafed, you are wasting your money. You are paying up to three times as much as that medication’s generic version.

By law, all medications sold in the U.S — both over-thecounter and prescription — must be exactly the same quality, strength, purity and stability as their brand-name counterpart. Generic drugs are safe, effective and FDAapproved. According to Gary Buehler, M.D., director of the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs, “People can use them with total confidence.”

Pantry staples.

Government regulations require the same manufacturing and storage procedures for all staples such as flour, sugar, eggs, milk, salt and so forth, no matter the brand.

Buying the generic brand is just as safe and tastes the same. Buying generic is almost always cheaper, except for those rare occasions when the brand name is on sale for less than its generic counterpart.

Infant formula. The FDA strictly regulates and requires the same nutrients in all infant formula, so your baby will get the same benefits from the name brand and the much less expensive generic option. Generic formulas have to follow the same manufacturing and safety guidelines as well, so there’s no added risk. You can be confident in generic infant formula.

Cleaning products. I cannot say that all generics are equal to their name-brand counterparts. However, some generic cleaning products are equal or even better. There is a wide consensus that namebrand paper towels and window cleaner are usually worth the money. Generic paper towels tend to be too thin, and generic window cleaner often leaves streaks. However, offbrand scouring powders, disinfecting wipes and bathroom cleaners are nearly always equal to or even better than the name-brand options.

N o n - p e r i s h a b l e s . The generic option of products such as pasta, canned fruits and vegetables, crackers, cheese, soda, bottled water and so on, tend to be equal in quality. Here’s a good rule of thumb as you make the decision: The fewer ingredients an item has, the more likely that the generic brand tastes just as good as the name brand.

National brand manufacturers spend a lot of money on advertising and attractive packaging to sell you a product that may not be better than the generic one. And in some cases, the generic and name brand companies are the same. Hint: If the labels say the products were made in the same town, chances are pretty good they were made by the same company.

NEWS D I G E S T Prospects grapple with gay marriage WASHINGTON (AP) — It took just a few words for the Supreme Court to deal with the question of whether gay marriage is legal. For Republicans thinking about running for the White House in 2016, it won’t be that easy.

The court’s decision Monday to reject appeals from five states that sought to prohibit same-sex marriage reignited a debate inside the GOP between pragmatic Republican officials eager to avoid a fight over a divisive social issue and religious conservatives, a vocal minority that vowed to redouble its efforts and punish those unwilling to join them.

“For us, it’s over in Wisconsin,” said Republican Gov. Scott Walker, whose state’s appeal was among those the court declined with a two-word order.

Hong Kong protests thin out HONG KONG (AP) — Crowds of protesters who filled Hong Kong’s streets with demands for a greater say in choosing the territory’s leader thinned dramatically Tuesday after student leaders and the government agreed to hold talks in this increasingly frustrated city.

Just a couple days after tens of thousands of demonstrators thronged the city’s streets, only a few dozen students were occupying some stretches of highway, once again snarling traffic and slowing commuters.

One young protester sleepily brushed his teeth as rush hour began, spitting into a storm drain along the blockaded six-lane highway that cuts through the heart of Hong Kong’s business district. Nearby, a sleeping demonstrator leaned back in a nylon chair, his mouth open and his eyeglasses askew.

Feds: Illinois teen sought to join Islamic State CHICAGO (AP) — A 19year-old American left a letter expressing disgust with Western society before trying to board an international flight in Chicago, the first step in his plan to sneak into Syria to join the Islamic State group, according to a federal criminal complaint released Monday.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan, who lived with his parents in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, was arrested Saturday at O’Hare International Airport trying to board a plane on the first leg of connecting flights to Turkey, which borders Syria.

New concern worldwide as nurse in Spain gets Ebola

WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising fresh concern around the world, a nurse in Spain on Monday became the first person known to catch Ebola outside the outbreak zone in West Africa. In the U.S., President Barack Obama said the government was considering ordering more careful screening of airline passengers arriving from the region.

In dealing with potential Ebola cases, Obama said, “we don’t have a lot of marMorocco mulls marijuana legislation gin for error.”

Already hospitalized in the KETTAMA, Morocco (AP) U.S., a critically ill Liberian — Abdelkhalek Benabdallah man, Thomas Duncan, began strode among towering marijuana plants and checked the buds for the telltale spots of white, indicating they are ready for harvest.

By September much of the crop has been picked and left to dry on the roofs of the stoneand-wood huts that dot the Rif valley, the heart of Morocco’s region. pot-growing Benabdallah openly grows the crop, despite the risk: “We are regularly subject to blackmail by the gendarmes,” he said as he scythed through stalks and wrapped them into a bundle.

Morocco’s marijuana farmers live in a strange limbo in which the brilliant green fields are largely left alone, while the growers face constant police harassment. A new draft law may bring some reprieve: It aims to legalize marijuana growing for medical and industrial uses such as textiles and paper, in a radical step for a Muslim nation.

Wal-Mart cuts health benefits NEW YORK (AP) — WalMart Stores Inc. plans to eliminate health insurance coverage for some of its parttime U.S. employees in a move aimed at controlling rising health care costs of the nation’s largest private employer.

Starting Jan. 1, Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that it will no longer offer health insurance to employees who work less than an average of 30 hours a week. The move, which would affect 30,000 employees, follows similar decisions by Target, Home Depot and others to eliminate health insurance benefits for part-time employees.

US predicts lower heating bills NEW YORK (AP) — Milder temperatures should cut heating bills this winter, as few expect a return of the deep freeze that chilled much of the nation last year.

Most residents will save money because they won’t crank up the heat as much.

Users of heating oil and propane will get an extra discount from lower fuel prices, according to the Energy Department’s annual prediction of winter heating costs.

3 share Nobel for blue diode STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two Japanese scientists and a Japanese-born American won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for inventing blue light-emitting diodes, a breakthrough that has spurred the development of LED technology to light up homes, computer screens and smartphones worldwide.

Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and naturalized U.S. citizen Shuji Nakamura revolutionized lighting technology two decades ago when they came up with a long-elusive component of the white LED lights that in countless applications today have replaced less efficient incandescent and fluorescent lights.

“They succeeded where everyone else had failed,” the Nobel committee said.

“Incandescent light bulbs lit the 20th century; the 21st century will be lit by LED lamps.”

Red and green light-emitting diodes have been around since the mid-20th century and have been used in applications such as watches and calculators. But scientists had struggled for decades to produce the shorter-wavelength blue LED needed in combination with the others to produce white light when the three laureates made their breakthroughs in the early 1990s.

Their work enabled LED lights — more efficient and long-lasting than previous light sources — to be used in a of applications, range including street lights, televisions and computers.

“It is very satisfying to see that my dream of LED lighting has become a reality,” Nakamura, 60, said in a statement released by the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is a professor.

“I hope that energy-efficient LED light bulbs will help reduce energy use and lower the cost of lighting worldwide,” he said.

Smoke rises after an airstrike in Kobani, Syria as fighting intensified between Syrian Kurds and the militants of Islamic State group.

Turkey: Syrian town about to fall to jihadists MURSITPINAR, Turkey (AP) — The Islamic State group is about to capture the Syrian border town of Kobani, Turkey’s president said Tuesday, as outgunned Kurdish forces struggled to repel the extremists with limited aid from U.S.-led coalition airstrikes.

Islamic State fighters using tanks and heavy weapons looted from captured army bases in Iraq and Syria have been pounding Kurdish forces in the strategic town for days. Since the militants’ offensive began in mid-September, more than 400 people have been killed in the fighting, activists said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the coalition air campaign launched last month would not be enough to halt the Islamic State group’s advance and called for greater cooperation with the Syrian opposition, which is fighting both the extremists and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.

“Kobani is about to fall,” Erdogan told Syrian refugees

in the Turkish town of Gaziantep, near the border.

“We asked for three things: one, for a no-fly zone to be created; two, for a secure zone parallel to the region to be declared; and for the moderate opposition in Syria and Iraq to be trained and equipped.”

Turkish tanks and other ground forces have been stationed along the border within a few hundred meters (yards) of the fighting in Kobani — also known as Ayn Arab — but have not intervened. Just days ago, Turkey said it wouldn’t let Kobani fall.

Syrian Kurds, however, have scoffed at the rhetoric coming out of Ankara. They say that not only are the Turks not helping, they are hindering the actually defense of Kobani by preventing Kurdish militiamen in Turkey from crossing the border into the town to help in the fight.

“We are besieged by Turkey, it is not something new,” said Ismet Sheikh Hassan, the Kurdish defense chief for the Kobani region.

“There are counter-arguments and we can’t address those if we’re neutral,” Starbuck said. “Now we’re in a position to address this problem that faces the city.” members Committee included Hughes, Starbuck, Patricia Soltys, Madeline Seymour, Roy Ashworth, Bob Berry, Kristina Campina and council liaison Brian Vick.

Soltys said the entire council and the city manager are behind their decision to resign. She said committee members were angry at last Tuesday’s meeting, but have now taken that energy and formed a political action committee called Secure Bandon’s Future and will be campaigning under that name.

Ballot Measure 6-150 would amend the City Charter to authorize the council to increase water, sewer and/or electric rates no more than 5 percent per year. The proposal originated with the Water Resource Committee, who were appointed to plan for and advise the mayor, council and city manager on water quality, supply, resources and watershed protection issues.

Bandon’s utility rates cannot be increased without a vote of the people, based on a charter amendment passed

by voters in 1995.

The committee concluded that the city cannot maintain its utilities without having control over rate increases.

“The city has never chalthis charter lenged amendment,” Soltys said. “If the town wants to grow beyond what it is, we need more water. We are at this time OK, but if something changes, we won’t be OK. We have to think ahead to avoid a crisis.”

The last water rate increase was in 2006, in an election that followed a citywide boil-water order when a clarifier broke at the water treatment plant.

The committee has proposed the city build a reservoir to store water, as well as make other improvements to the utility. has to “Something change,” Soltys said. “We can’t just sit back on our hands and say we don’t want higher rates.”

Phelps receives suspension after DUI

BY BETH HARRIS The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Washington Redskins strong safety Bashaud Breeland hangs on to Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin during the first half Monday.

Seahawks overcome mistakes in win LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — How’s this for a frustrating hat trick: Percy Harvin had three touchdowns called back because of penalties.

“Well, the first one I was cool with,” he said.

“I was like, ‘OK.’ Then when the second one happened, I was like, ‘Wow.’ And then when the third one happened I just flipped my hands down. I couldn’t believe it.”

Were it not for the self-inflicted wounds, the Seattle Seahawks might have had a cakewalk against the Washington Redskins. As it was, they settled for a 27-17 win in a Monday night game flush with “neutral zone infractions,” holds, false starts and even a 15-yarder that was called because someone, according to the referee, “hit a player on the ground unnecessarily.”

“It could’ve been a very big night for us,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “We came out flying, but we were just a little bit out of whack.”

One player who definitely wasn’t out of whack was Russell Wilson, who rushed for a career-high 122 yards and a touchdown and completed 18 of 24 passes for 201 yards with two scores as the Seahawks (3-1) maintained their dominance in games played under the lights. Seattle is an NFL-best 21-8 on Monday nights, including nine wins in a row. The team is also 11-1 in prime time under Carroll.

Wilson dazzled throughout, whether it was a designed run or a scramble out of the pocket.

He had rushes of 16, 29, 13 and 22 in the first two drives. He headed for the pylon on a clinical zone-read run for a 9-yard score in the second quarter, giving Seattle a 17-0 lead, and pulled off two incredible run-for-his-life

scrambles in the second half after the Redskins threatened to make a game of it.

“It was like he wasn’t Superman in the second half,” Redskins safety Ryan Clark said. “He was, like, Clark Kent, half-Superman. He still did his thing.”

But how bad was the Seahawks’ penalty bug? It wasn’t until a 4-yard run by Alfred Morris with three minutes left in the first half that the Redskins’ total yards (47) passed Seattle’s penalty yards (45) for good.

“I just think it’s ‘Monday Night Football.’

You know, the fans are watching and everybody wants to see a good game, so they’re going to try to make it as close as possible,” Seattle safety Earl Thomas said. “It’s a business.”

Seattle finished with 13 penalties for 90 yards, and Harvin paid the price. It would have been 21-0 if either of his would-be touchdowns — on back-to-back plays — had counted in the first half. First, his 16-yard run to the end zone was wiped out by holding on left guard James Carpenter, then his 26-yard catch-and-run was negated by a flag for a false start on Harvin himself.

Early in the fourth quarter, Wilson hit a wide-open Harvin for an apparent 41-yard score, but Carpenter was cited again — this time because he blocked a Redskins player who was already on the ground.

“It got to the point where he had a little talk in the huddle,” Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin said. “Like, ‘We need to get things straight — because this is ridiculous.”’

Indeed, the Seahawks recovered from the

third overturned TD. Wilson scrambled every which way — and nearly past the line of scrimmage before retreating — and hit Luke Willson for a 19-yard gain, and punter-holder Jon Ryan ran 5 yards on a fake field goal on fourth-and-1.

Six plays later, Wilson hit Marshawn Lynch for a 9-yard score to give Seattle a 24-10 lead with 6:31 remaining.

The Redskins pulled within a touchdown on Kirk Cousins’ 6-yard pass to Andre Roberts with 3:35 to go, but the Seahawks took the ensuing kickoff and marched back down the field.

Wilson converted a third-and-4 with another scramble, evading Ryan Kerrigan and tumbling backward as he found Lynch for a 30-yard gain.

And there was no flag.

“I don’t know what the heck happened on that play,” Carroll said. “For everybody to be right and not grab somebody or do something wrong in the midst of all the chaos, and we come out of it with about a 40- or 50-yard play or whatever it was, it was phenomenal.

Steven Hauschka then iced the game with a 43-yard field goal with 21 seconds to play.

The Redskins (1-4) punted eight times, and two deep passes to DeSean Jackson accounted for 137 of their 307 total yards.

Cousins completed 21 of 36 passes for 283 yards and dropped to 1-6 in his career as a Redskins starter.

“Overall, as a group offensively, our running game’s not quite good enough,” Washington coach Jay Gruden said. “Obviously our deep passing game’s not quite good enough. We’re not quite good enough anywhere.”

Michael Phelps’ comeback took a major hit on Monday, with USA Swimming suspending the 18time Olympic champion for six months and forcing him to withdraw from next year’s world championships.

Phelps also lost six months of funding from the sport’s national governing body as a result of his second DUI arrest. The 29-yearold swimmer is banned from participating in USA Swimming-sanctioned meets through April 6, 2015.

USA Swimming said Phelps violated its Code of Conduct, and cited a section of its 2014 Rule Book in punishing him. Its executive committee approved the sanctions, which take effect immediately.

“Michael’s conduct was serious and required significant consequences,” said Chuck Wielgus, USA Swimming executive director.

“We endorse and are here to fully support his personal development actions.”

Phelps can still train with his North Baltimore club, but he had already qualified for the world championships in Russia next August, which is the biggest international meet leading up to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Phelps came out of retirement earlier this year with his sights set on competing at a fifth Olympics in Rio. Being barred from the world meet could put a serious dent in those ambitions.

His latest arrest came about a month after Phelps won three golds and two silvers at the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia. He had retired after the 2012 London Olympics, having won a record 18 gold medals and 22 medals in four games.

Phelps’ monthly funding stipend of $1,750 will be halted for six months, costing him a total of $10,500. That is small change compared to the millions he earns through several major endorsements, including Aqua Sphere, Subway, Under Armour, Omega and Master Spas.

Nationals avoid elimination

The Associated Press

Portland guard Damian Lillard poses for a photograph during the team’s media day.

Lillard expects another big year

BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Damian Lillard’s obvious skills meant his star was already on the rise last season. Then The Shot happened.

Lillard’s buzzer-beating 3pointer as time ran out in Game 6 of a first-round playoff series against the Rockets gave the Trail Blazers a 99-98 victory and pushed them into the Western Conference semifinals for the first time in 14 years.

Afterward he said it was the best shot of his young career. “So far,” he added with a smile.

Lillard has had all summer to reflect on that shot and what it meant. He was busy, working out with the U.S. national team and the other duties that come with a raised profile.

Although he doesn’t put himself in the realm with LeBron James, Kevin Durant or Chris Paul, he’s working on it.

“I think I put myself out there a

little bit,” Lillard said. “But I have to give a lot of credit for that to my team and what we were able to accomplish. What happened with me as a basketball player, a lot of opportunities opened up because of that.”

Lillard averaged 20.7 points, 5.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds last season, his second in the league. He made the All-Star team and grabbed attention by becoming the first player to participate in all five events connected to All-Star weekend: the Future Stars game, the skills challenge, the 3-point shootout, the dunk contest and finally the All-Star game itself.

Lillard wore his leadership role on the Blazers with confidence and had great on-court chemistry with fellow All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge.

The duo returns to a team that won 54 games and retained most of its roster, including fellow starters Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eye black and uniform still on, Bryce Harper emerged from a different kind of fog than typically seen in San Francisco. This was the celebratory stuff from a Nationals victory party, and he had earned it, all right.

Harper screamed out in delight as he crossed the plate with Washington ahead at last. After all those extra innings and a subdued cross-country flight, the Nationals had broken through — with some help from Madison Bumgarner’s big blunder.

Doug Fister pitched seven shutout innings and the Nationals capitalized on Bumgarner’s one off-target throw, staving off elimination in the NL Division Series with a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday.

“Being able to get that momentum swing to us a little bit is definitely huge,” said Harper, who also made a difficult running catch in the gap.

Fister dazzled again in San Francisco, helping the Nationals cut their deficit to 2-1 in the bestof-five series. They ended the Giants’ 10-game postseason winning streak that started with Game 5 of the 2012 NL Championship Series against St. Louis.

Washington scored two runs on Bumgarner’s throwing error in the seventh inning to end the ace’s 22inning scoreless streak. Harper punctuated the victory with a solo homer in the ninth.

Drew Storen allowed the first two batters to reach in the bottom of the ninth but shook off his postseason struggles, allowing a run in closing it out as Washington forced a Game 4 on Tuesday night.

Now, the 96-win Nationals will send left-hander Gio Gonzalez up against San Francisco right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, hoping to pull out the fog machine they used after wins all season one more time.

The Associated Press

Washington’s Bryce Harper, left, Denard Span and Jayson Werth, right, celebrate after they beat the San Francisco Giants 4-1 during Game 3 of baseball’s NL Division Series on Monday.

“We just needed one break,” Storen said. “It’s been a tough couple innings here to start and we got our break. It’s just a matter of building on it, and we live to see another day.”

On a day Bumgarner had been nearly untouchable, his own miscue prevented a three-game sweep.

Bumgarner fielded Wilson Ramos’ two-strike sacrifice bunt between the mound and the firstbase line and fired to third rather than going for the sure out at first.

“We probably should have taken the out of first. I made a mistake telling him to throw to third,” catcher Buster Posey said.

“It happens.”

Bumgarner’s throw sailed wide of Pablo Sandoval’s outstretched glove and bounced all the way to the tarp along the left-field wall before rolling over the bullpen mounds where two relievers were warming up.

Sandoval nearly did the splits trying to make the play and stayed

down in pain as the two runs scored. Trainers checked on the third baseman and he remained in the game.

“That was an important play right now. In my mind I was like, ‘I have to do it, have to do it,’ Ramos said. “For me, that changed the whole game.

Bumgarner threw a really good game. Those little things happen in games. If we do the little things, we’ll have an opportunity to win this series.”

Asdrubal Cabrera followed with an RBI single. He spent the final eight innings watching the Giants’ 2-1, 18-inning victory Saturday night after his ejection for arguing a called third strike.

Fister outpitched Bumgarner at AT&T Park for the second time in four months after a June gem, leaving behind the frightening memory of his October outing here in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series.

Eugene bids for world meet THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONACO — The IAAF has confirmed that three cities — in the United States, Spain and Qatar — are in the running to host the 2019 world championships.

The IAAF said today it has received formal applications from Eugene, Oregon; Barcelona; and Doha. The cities sent letters of intent earlier this year.

Eugene is bidding to bring track and field’s showcase event to the United States for the first time.

The host city will be selected at the IAAF council meeting in Monaco on Nov. 18. An IAAF evaluation panel headed by Sebastian Coe will visit the three cities this month.

The world championships are held every two years.

Beijing will host the event in 2015 and London in 2017.

Kolten Wong celebrates with St. Louis first base coach Chris Maloney after Wong’s two-run home run in the seventh inning Monday.

Big bats power Cardinals to win ST. LOUIS (AP) — John Lackey was just as advertised for the St. Louis Cardinals. Their postseason power surge has been a big surprise.

Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer to snap a seventh-inning tie, Matt Carpenter went deep for the third straight game and Lackey pitched St. Louis past the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Monday night to give the Cardinals a 21 lead in their best-of-five NL Division Series.

“Well, we just kind of knew what we were going to get,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. “He wants the ball.

He proves it by how he goes out and throws.”

Facing elimination in St. Louis for the second consecutive postseason, the Dodgers will turn to ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest tonight in Game 4. Shelby Miller makes his first playoff start for the Cardinals, one win from a fourth straight trip to the NL Championship Series.

The Cardinals finished off Los

Angeles in a six-game NLCS last fall, knocking out Kershaw in the fifth inning of a 9-0 blowout in the final game.

Two runners reached against Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth before he earned his second save of the series — with an assist from the grounds crew on a rainy night.

Rosenthal said he was unable to find his footing, missing badly on consecutive pitches to Juan Uribe, before the grounds crew applied a drying agent and raked the mound. The right-hander then threw a pair of practice pitches and regained his stride, retiring the next two batters on flies to right for his sixth career postseason save.

Hanley Ramirez had three of the Dodgers’ seven hits, including an RBI double in the sixth.

Lackey, acquired from Boston at the trade deadline, gave up five hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts. The veteran right-hander improved to 7-5 in postseason play, including three wins for the Red Sox last year — one against

St. Louis in the World Series.

“I think there’s definitely different energy, different adrenaline level. And that can take you to special places when you use it the right way,” Lackey said.

“The atmosphere tonight was great.

Fans were unbelievable. You feel that.

You feed off that. If you channel it the right way, it can definitely help you out.”

Asked what made the 35-year-old Lackey so tough, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly mentioned plate umpire Dale Scott.

“I thought Dale was very generous,” Mattingly said. “We had a lot of guys complaining about the strike zone. We felt like he was really generous, and that puts you in a bind.

“You can’t go too far with it, but really generous.”

St. Louis hit 105 homers in the regular season, the second-lowest total in the majors, ahead of only Kansas City.

But the Cardinals have shown plenty of power in the playoffs, scoring 10 of their 15 runs on six homers in three games.

PLAYOFFS From Page B1 Fister took a line drive to the right side of his head that day — while also opposing Bumgarner — but stayed in the game and carried a shutout into the seventh before Detroit lost 2-0 and was swept.

Fister hardly needed that Japanese good luck figurine that appeared in the NL East champions’ dugout Monday morning courtesy of backup catcher Jose Lobaton. The right-hander, who grew up about two hours away in the Central Valley city of Merced, gave up four hits, struck out three and walked three.

Storen, the beleaguered closer who gave up the tying run in Game 2, allowed Brandon Crawford’s sacrifice fly in the ninth before finishing the 2-hour, 47-minute game. It was a far cry from Game 2, which took a postseason-record 6:23.

Five days after pitching a four-hitter in an 8-0 wildcard win at Pittsburgh, Bumgarner was on a roll again, this time for the orange towel-waving sellout home crowd of 43,627.

Ian Desmond singled to start the decisive seventh and Harper walked to bring up Ramos, who began the season as the Nationals’ cleanup hitter. Harper slid into home for the second run, hopped up and hollered in triumph.

Bumgarner hadn’t given up a postseason run since Carlos Beltran homered in the fourth inning of the Giants’ Game 1 loss of the 2012 NLCS in St. Louis.

PRO FOOTBALL NFL begins HGH testing NEW YORK — The NFL has begun testing for human growth hormone for the first time, three years after the league and players’ union tentatively agreed to do so.

HGH testing was part of the 2011 labor agreement but was delayed because the NFL Players Association was not comfortable with the procedures or science involved.

Both sides agreed last month on the new policy, which took effect Monday.

A total of 950 tests will be performed during the regular season, postseason and preseason. In the offseason, about 385 tests will be done.

Each week during the season, five players on eight teams will be chosen randomly for testing as part of the normal testing procedures under the NFL’s performance enhancing drug policy. No tests will occur on game days. Players subject to the blood testing must be on the active roster, practice squad or on injured reserve, and not already subject to reasonable-cause testing. In the offseason, every player under contract not already undergoing reasonablecause testing will be tested to a maximum of 90 per team.

Any appeal will be heard by a neutral person, not by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designated.

BASEBALL Bail is revoked for Bosch MIAMI — The former owner of the clinic at the center of Major League Baseball’s recent performance-enhancing drug scandal had his bail revoked because of recent positive tests for cocaine use.

U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles ordered Anthony Bosch jailed immediately.

Bosch tested positive twice in August for cocaine use, after he was released on $100,000 bail under conditions including no use of illegal drugs and random urine testing. Gayles also found Bosch wasn’t regularly attending voluntary drug treatment.

Prosecutors say Bosch’s Gables clinic, Coral Biogenesis of America, was involved in a conspiracy to provide performanceenhancing drugs to MLB players and even high school athletes. Fourteen MLB players were suspended following the probe, including a season-long suspension this year for New York Yankees

star Alex Rodriguez.

Bosch, 51, is scheduled to plead guilty next week and has been cooperating in the investigation against others who were charged, including possibly testifying in those cases.

NBA League renews TV deals NEW YORK — The NBA and its television partners couldn’t wait to extend their contracts.

The league renewed its deals with ESPN and TNT even though two seasons remain on the old ones. With potential competition from Fox looming, both networks were willing to pay generously to secure the rights longterm.

The NBA’s annual revenue from the agreements will increase from $930 million to more than $2.6 billion, according to a person familiar with the terms.

The contracts will run an additional nine years through the 2024-25 season. The previous eight-year agreements end after 2015-16.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Pac-12 fines MacIntyre SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Pac-12 conference has reprimanded and fined Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre $10,000 for conduct toward the officials following the Buffaloes’ loss to Oregon State on Saturday.

MacIntyre was yelling at the officials as he chased them off the field following the loss. Security officials turned him away.

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott called MacIntyre’s actions “completely unacceptable.” The fine will go toward the Pac-12 student-athlete scholarship fund.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL School cancels season SAYREVILLE, N.J. — Officials have canceled the football season at a New Jersey high school amid allegations of harassment, intimidation and bullying.

Sayreville school officials made the announcement Monday night during a meeting with the parents of football players.

The Home News Tribune reported Superintendent Rich Labbe said everyone on the team has a responsibility to stand up and protect one another.

The announcement follows word of a criminal investigation by the county prosecutor, which Labbe said he could not discuss. Labbe says Prosecutor Andrew Carey told him there is credible evidence to indicate pervasive, wide-scale and generally accepted forms of harassment, intimidation and bullying within the program.

Sayreville’s team has won three sectional titles over the past four years.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Colorado loses star BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado star Arielle Roberson, the 2013 Pac-12 freshman of the year, will have surgery on Wednesday to repair her left ACL, which she tore in a routine drill last week.

A timetable for the junior forward’s return won’t be determined until her operation.

A two-time honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection, Roberson led Colorado in scoring (12.0) and rebounding (8.3) last season.

Sports LILLARD From Page B1 The Blazers went out in the offseason and got center Chris Kaman to back up Lopez and veteran guard Steve Blake to help spell Lillard.

Blake said he and Lillard played in a couple of pickup games this summer. Even in the casual setting, Blake said: “You could see how talented he is. He is as good as advertised.”

General manager Neil Olshey said Lillard is a sharp player with a good business sense, always working on his game in the gym.

“Nothing gets in the way of basketball for Damian,” Olshey said at the team’s media day at the start of training camp. The Blazers open the preseason on the road Tuesday night against the Utah Jazz, a game that will no doubt draw fans that Lillard gained playing at Weber State.

The Blazers open the regular season at home on Oct. 29 against Oklahoma City.

While Lillard trained with the national team this summer, he was not among the 12 players selected to represent the United States on the final roster for the FIBA World Cup in Spain. The United States went on to win the event.

“The best part about that was just being able to compete against the top players every

PHELPS From Page B1 “Michael accepts USA Swimming ’s sanctions,” according to a statement from his representatives at Octagon. “He has apologized for his actions and, as he shared yesterday, is taking steps to address them.”

Over the weekend, Phelps announced he was entering a six-week, in-patient program, a week after he was arrested and charged with drunken driving in his hometown of Baltimore.

“Swimming is a major part of my life, but right now I need to focus my attention on me as an individual, and do the necessary work to

day,” he said. “You don’t get that opportunity very much and I was thankful for that. But I also feel like they were telling me I wasn’t good enough.

“I’ve always been one to throw wood on the fire, anytime I got the opportunity.

Once I turned away from making that team, I basically took it as I wasn’t good enough.

That was another reason for me to go back and keep trying to improve as a player.”

The Rockets certainly don’t believe Lillard is lacking. When they opened training camp, that seasonending shot was still a topic of discussion.

“For a lot of us who were here, that 0.9 seconds stuck in our minds a lot but we have to move past it,” Dwight Howard said.

Lillard watched the whole series against the Rockets twice this summer. He acknowledges that while the shot may have changed the course for the Blazers, it also changed something within him.

“I think it just changed me with not questioning myself.

There’s always times where you question yourself a little bit, not that you don’t believe in yourself, but you’re like, ‘What if this happens? Or what if that happens?”’ he said. “But in that moment nothing crossed my mind. I never doubted what would happen for a second.” learn from this experience and make better decisions in the future,” he said in a series of posts on his Twitter account.

U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun said, “We think the sanctions are appropriate and we are glad that Michael is seeking help.

We are grateful that nobody was hurt and appreciate the speed at which USA Swimming and Michael took action.”

USA Swimming’s punishment was its harshest ever imposed on its superstar. The governing body suspended Phelps for three months in 2009 after a photo emerged of him using a marijuana pipe, even though he was not charged.

Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday throws a touchdown pass to Vince Mayle against California during the first quarter Saturday.

Loss spoils Halliday’s record night PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday’s fourth pass of the game went for a 90-yard touchdown, and it was off to the races for the senior on a night when he would throw for an NCAArecord 734 yards against California.

The problem was that his team lost 60-59 Saturday night when a 19-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds was wide right.

“It really doesn’t mean too much,” a disappointed Halliday said after the game.

“It’ll be fun to look back on it when I’m 30 years old.”

Coach Mike Leach said Monday that the performance, which broke the FBS record of 716 yards set by David Klingler of Houston in 1990, should put Halliday’s name in contention for the Heisman Trophy. “He’s the best quarterback in this conference,” Leach said.

For his part, Halliday said he felt the Cougars (2-4, 1-2 Pac-12) would win the offen-

Cougars fire assistant PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Washington State coach Mike Leach has dismissed special teams coordinator Eric Russell after Saturday’s 60-59 loss to California in which the Cougars gave up back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns.

The Cougars also missed a potential game-winning 19-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the game.

The previous week at Utah, the Cougars gave up another special teams touchdown on a punt return.

Leach said during his press conference Monday that Russell’s duties will be divided up among the other assistants. sive shootout with Cal, which featured a combined 56 points scored in the third quarter alone.

“It’s a weird feeling,” he said. “It’s kind of, ‘We’re going to win this game no matter what.’ The game is on our shoulders offensively,” But “after every time you score you realize you’re going to need another one,” he said.

Halliday was the nation’s passing yardage leader coming into the game.

Against Cal, he completed 49 of 70 passes for six touchdowns. He was not intercepted or sacked in the game.

“Connor played well today,” receiver River Cracraft said after the game.

“Aside from the record, we lost the game.”

Halliday’s performance was only the second time in FBS history that a quarterback has topped 700 yards in a game, and only the 15th time a player has topped 600

yards. It was the fifth time Halliday has topped 500 yards in a game.

The six touchdown passes tied his own school record, shared with Jason Gesser, and gave him a national best 26 for the season.

Halliday’s 10,483 career passing yards are the secondmost in Washington State history, behind Alex Brink’s 10,913 and ahead of the likes of Mark Rypien, Drew Bledsoe and Ryan Leaf.

Of course, ridiculous passing numbers are the norm in Leach’s “Air Raid” offense.

Halliday already set a record last season with 89 pass attempts against Oregon, and he’s within striking distance of the Division I records for passing attempts, completions and yards in a season.

The owners of those records are B.J. Symons (attempts and yardage) and Graham Harrell (completions) — both coached by Leach at Texas Tech.

Education How to Survive a Shot Assignment: My tips for getting a shot are: Le xi M . , a s t u d e n t at H i l l c r e st Elementary School, North Bend , will receive a prize for her submission on this topic: To make shots easyer pretend that your mom or dad is distrackting you and telling me something really happy like a trip that you went on or you went camping and had a really fun time. Think of the Best time ever. or if you want to know another thing to do, pretend you are dreaming about something awsome and that is how you sevive a shot.

HILLCREST ELEMENTARY These are some whays that help me survive a shot. One whay is to look away so you do not see them giveing you the shot. You can hold your parants hand and squeez if the shot shurts. You do not want to move around because they might miss and have to give you the shot again I would bring something to destract me. My exspents is horrible and not fun but more you get shots more eaiser it gets.

I hope these things will help you next time you get a shot.

Preslee P. The last time I got a shot It was a lot easier. When I got a shot It was on my arm. I closed my eyes, looked away, and It did not hurt. My arm did not hurt after the shot.

Hayden N. .I remember when I got a flu shot. I had to go to my mom’s work. I did not feel a thing. I told my baby sister, and she gets lots of shots and does not cry.

I feel good.

Abby C. Whenever I get a shot it’s hecktick!

I always don’t want to get a shot because it hurts more than getting your ears peirced.

I alway just stare at the needles going in but what my mom told me is to close my eyes and to inhale slowly, and it really helps.

Kamryn C.
