Private management suggested for Elliott

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COQUILLE — A forest products organization has thrown one management option for the Elliott State Forest on the table ahead of the State Land Board’s visit to Coos Bay. Douglas Timber Operators executive director Bob Ragon presented Coos County commissioners with his organization’s proposal: Stick with the 2012 management plan, but shift management to a private contractor.

Ragon has long been an advocate for the state taking a more aggressive approach to managing the timberlands.

The Oregon Department of Forestry effectively let the environmental agencies trample its plan in the settlement of Cascadia v. Decker, Ragon said, by refusing to consider alternatives to the timber sales and not calling on suggested expert witnesses.

The settlement went over and above what the Endangered Species Act Section 9 take prohibitions require, wrote attorney Mark

Wal-Mart cuts health benefits for part-timers

Rutzick, by modifying habitat to protect endangered species rather than looking into management alternatives.

Ragon has one suggestion: Log during the winter months since the marbled murrelet, an endangered species, is only in the forest during the spring and summer.

“You can’t harm or harass a bird that isn’t present,” he said. “We got declarations from two (experts) but we were not able to use them because the state went into mediation with the plaintiffs and came

out with a settlement that puts about 80 percent of the Elliott off the table for management.”

Commissioner Bob Main said the land board deserves “an earful” at its meeting in Coos Bay on Wednesday.

“My opinion is it’s abundantly clear the state of Oregon doesn’t want to log at all,” he said. “If they totally ignore a solution, obviously they don’t want to do it in the first place.”

Ragon doesn’t blame the land board; his targets are set on the

Department of Forestry.

“The Department of Forestry did not have their act together when they should have known they would be legally challenged,” Ragon said. “They were grossly underprepared.”

Main supports Ragon’s proposal, but he’s not optimistic.

“They’re not going to find favor with your proposal because they want to lock it up,” Main said. “If you look at the path they’ve gone SEE FOREST | A8

Coos Bay, Reedsport decide on pot taxes CB ordinance allows tax up to 25 percent

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — Coos Bay is the latest Oregon city scrambling to discuss the potential tax ramifications of the Control, Regulation, and Taxation of Marijuana and Hemp Act, otherwise known as Measure 91.

The Coos Bay City Council reached a consensus Tuesday to enact an ordinance to establish taxes and a resolution to determine the rate on medical and recreational marijuana should the ballot initiative pass on Nov. 4.

The ordinance would allow taxes to range from zero to 25 percent for both medical and recreational marijuana, with the resolution setting both rates at 10 percent to start.

The tax needed to be enacted by the Oct. 21 council meeting because the passing of the ballot measure would give the state the sole right to tax marijuana, City Manager Rodger Craddock said.

“Many cities and counties are putting a tax on it to get ahead of the legislation,” Craddock said.

Taxes enacted prior to the ballot measure passing would conceivably be allowed to stand, although some legal opposition is expected.

“There may be legal challenges of any city or jurisdiction to ban any dispensaries,” city Attorney Nathan McClintock said.

“More so, with the tax under the ballot initiative, they’ll say you can’t tax because state law usurps that.”

Reedsport tax would be 5 or 10 percent

BY STEVE LINDSLEY The World

REEDSPORT — The Reedsport City Council on Monday decided to join with other cities in the state in enacting a tax on marijuana, should Measure 91 pass Nov. 4.

That measure will legalize the recreational use of marijuana. The state already allows medical marijuana use.

The council enacted a 5 percent tax on medical marijuana and 10 percent tax on recreational p o t .

O t h e r Oregon c i t i e s , including

Coquille, Ashland, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Springfield, Oregon City and Troutdale have also approved similar taxes. Medford has proposed taxes of 6 percent and 18 percent. Fairview, in Multnomah County, has enacted 15- and 40percent tax rates.

Some councilors questioned whether the city could amend the rates.

“Let’s say, tonight, we do a 5 percent/10 percent tax on this stuff,” Councilor Frank Barth said.

“Is that set in stone, or can we regulate that at a later date?”

“I think that we could, certainly, choose at a later date to raise or lower it,” Mayor Keith Tymchuk said. “However, it would still have to go to the voters.”

Reedsport’s Measure 10-119 requires a public vote whenever council wants to consider raising fees or taxes.

City manager Jonathan Wright said, like other cities, the council’s SEE REEDSPORT | A8

Cities scramble to tax pot before it’s legal

BY JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press ASHLAND — At least 20 cities and counties around Oregon are racing to approve local taxes on marijuana in case voters in November decide to legalize recreational pot.

The number has been growing, despite provisions in Measure 91 giving the state sole authority to tax marijuana, and specifically repealing conflicting local ordinances.

The idea for a local tax came to Ashland city administrator Dave Kanner last February, and it

was approved by the City Council in August.

With 400,000 tourists a year coming to Ashland to attend the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland has already broken ranks with other Oregon cities and taxed restaurant meals and drinks.

Kanner just plugged pot into the same template as meals and beverages. After the City Council approved his idea for a 10 percent tax on pot sales, he got calls from other cities interested in doing it.

“It may be up to the Legislature or the courts to render a final decision on whether I’m right

or they’re right,” Kanner said. “Apparently a lot of cities agree with my interpretation.”

Kanner hopes that Ashland, on the border with California, will draw pot users along with Shakespeare fans and the new taxes could add nearly $1 million a year to city coffers.

Lawyer Dave Kopilak, who drafted the Measure 91, says the provision forbidding local taxes on pot sales stems from similar rules on liquor.

INSIDE

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

Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that starting Jan. 1, it will no longer offer health insurance to employees who work less than an average of 30 hours a week. The move affects 30,000 employees, or about 5 percent of Wal-Mart’s total part-time workforce, but comes after the company already had scaled back the number of part-time workers who were eligible for health insurance coverage since 2011.

The announcement follows similar decisions by Target, Home Depot and others to completely eliminate health insurance benefits for part-time employees. It also comes a day after Wal-Mart said it is teaming up with an online health insurance agency called DirectHealth.com to help customers shop for health insurance plans.

“We had to make some tough decisions,” Sally Welborn, WalMart’s senior vice president of benefits, told The Associated Press.

Welborn said she didn’t know how much Wal-Mart will save by dropping part-time employees, but added that the company will use a third-party organization to help part-time workers find insurance alternatives: “We are trying to balance the needs of (workers) as well as the costs of (workers) as well as the cost to Wal-Mart.”

The announcement comes after Wal-Mart said far more U.S. employees and their families are enrolling in its health care plans than it had expected following rollout of the Affordable Care Act, which requires big companies to offer coverage to employees working 30 hours or more a week or face a penalty. It also requires most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty.

Wal-Mart, which employs about 1.4 million full- and parttime U.S. workers, says about 1.2 million Wal-Mart workers and family members combined now participate in its health care plan.

And that has had an impact on Wal-Mart’s bottom line. WalMart now expects the impact of higher health care costs to be about $500 million for the current fiscal year, or about $170 million higher than the original estimate of about $330 million that it gave in February.

But Wal-Mart is among the last of its peers to cut health insurance for some part-time workers. In 2013, 62 percent of large retail chains didn’t offer health care benefits to any of its part-time workers, according to Mercer, a global consulting company. That’s up from 56 percent in 2009.

Buddy, who served as a Coos Bay police narcotics

detection K-9 for more than five years, was deployed more than 200 times, including on operations with the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Task Force (SCINT).

In addition to being praised for his superior sensory capabilities, Buddy was lauded for his part in both

public and school presentations, which gave the public an opportunity to learn about the police department and its tactics.

The retirement leaves the CBPD without a narcotics detection K-9, although the agency currently possesses two patrol apprehension K9s.

is currently divided up into 26 small grant team areas.

The Coos/Coquille SGT was allocated $100,000 for the 2013-2015 biennium which ends June 30, 2015.

Unfortunately, over $70,000 of the $100,000 in allocated funding currently remains unused due to a lack of grant applications.

Whatever funds remain unused after the June 2015 deadline will be returned to OWEB. The Coos SWCD would like to issue a call to all agricultural landowners to make use of the small grant funds before May 2015.

Projects must have a direct benefit on improving instream process and function, fish passage, wetland and riparian process and function, road impact reduction, or water quality. Each project must have at least 25 percent in matching funds. Once a grant is submitted and approved, landowners have two years to complete the project.

Would-be councilors must mount campaign COOS BAY — Want people to write you in for the vacant Coos Bay City Council seat in the Nov. 4 election? It’s up to you to tell voters. And it might take as long as 20 days to pick a winner.

No candidates filed for the position in time to get on the ballot, so anyone who wants to run must conduct a write-in campaign. To qualify, a citizen of Coos Bay must be a registered voter and have resided within the city limits for at least one year preceding the election.

Interested citizens should contact the public, friends and media to let the public know of their interest in the open position and provide the correct spelling of their name to write in on the ballot. The Coos County Elections Office will count the write-in votes once all the ballots have been counted through the tally machine. Because this is a manual process, completed by an election board made up of four people, the final results for this contest will not be immediately available. The elections office has 20 days in which to certify

Congratulations to

Linda Cavanagh North Bend Medical Center’s October Employee of the Month is Linda Cavanagh. Linda never gets bothered by the constant changes to her job or work environment. She is like a ray of sunshine in her department.

Dear Editor:

On September 21, 2014, the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon came to Coquille for another spay/neuter clinic that provided service for 99 cats. Of those, 53 were males and 46 were females. Volunteers and carers showed up early ready to help or be helped. The clinic prevented future unwanted or neglected cats and improved the quality of life for the cats who attended.

Iwould like to thank the veterinarians and vet technicians who donated their time and expertise at this clinic and those for the past 15 years. I have appreciated and been very grateful for the help and support through many successful clinics. This clinic was supported by Dr. Baum, Dr. Ron Vered and Dr. Huwitt from Bandon Veterinary Hospital; Dr. Lisa Cornell from Myrtle Point Veterinary Hospital; Dr. New; Dr. Lucie Cohen; and Dr. Desire Taylor.

Edward Nichols, Penny Vance and Patty Edwards volunteered as vet techs.

Thank you to all the community members who volunteered doing various jobs at the clinic from registration to kennel washing. FOCCAS was a big part of this clinic and many previous, contributing to their success, by donating time and financial support. Thank you!

A big thank you goes to the FCCO team themselves. The task of bringing the truck and the two vet techs who run it down from Portland in our poor economy is outstanding. I appreciate and have appreciated their friendship and support in our community and personally for many years.

Thank you again to everyone for all your hard work!

Sincerely, Claudine Nored FCCO Coordinator

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

Time for Congress to take O&C action Legislation that would change the way federal O&C land is managed in western Oregon has now been approved twice by the House of Representatives. The most recent approval came on Sept. 18.

The House bill calls for an annual harvest level on O&C land, which is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, of 565 million board feet.

This bill has managed to bring together U.S. Rep. Greg Walden and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio.

Yet it hasn’t managed to unite the House of Representatives and the Senate.

In the Senate, Oregon’s senior senator, Ron Wyden, has been working on his own bill, which would boost timber harvests but not to the same level as the bill supported by Walden and DeFazio. Also, Wyden’s bill would retain greater federal control over O&C land, while the House bill would turn management for much of the O&C land to the state level.

What O&C counties don’t want is more subsidies from the federal government. What we want is a plan to boost harvests to a level that keeps mills in the region adequately supplied with timber.

During a recent visit to Grants Pass,DeFazio said he was confident the House bill would be able to withstand court challenges, which would allow companies to bid on timber sales with confidence. This would give these companies the ability to plan for the long haul.

Walden, in a speech in the House chambers in support of this bill, said, “You want to do something about poverty? Create a job.” He obviously believes this bill and the changes it

Grants Pass Daily Courier

Forest Service comes to its senses on media and press freedom A picture might be worth a thousand words, but so far as we can tell a photograph doesn’t make much of a scar on places such as Northeastern Oregon’s Eagle Cap Wilderness, the biggest chunk of ground in Oregon to receive Congress’ official seal of wildness.

The issue comes down to what Congress was getting at when it included language in the 1964 Wilderness Act regarding the exploitation of wild areas for commercial gain.

We’re pretty confident that lawmakers were worrying about the sorts of exploitation wilderness visitors would actually notice and that would, as the saying goes, leave a mark — cutting down trees or digging open pit mines, for instance.

But the Forest Service, for the past four years, has had a little-known policy that in theory requires reporters to apply for a permit to take photos or videos in a wilderness area.

Reporters who ignore the requirement could be fined as much as $1,000.

Liz Close, the Forest Service’s acting wilderness director, said she’s not aware that any journalists have applied for such a permit, or have been fined. But her published comments increase rather than ease our distaste for the concept behind this policy.She said,for instance, that the Forest Service would issue permits for media reporting “that was in support of wilderness characteristics.”

This doesn’t flout the First Amendment; it eviscerates it.

The widespread outcry over what seemed to be the Forest Service’s ignorance of free speech principles led to a clarification from Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell.

“If you’re there to gather news or take recreational photographs no permit would be required,” Tidwell said. “We take your First Amendment rights very seriously.”

We’ll take Tidwell at his word. It’s a pity, though, that the agency’s top official had to set straight what should have been obvious.

Baker City Herald

You may be surprised to know that more than 40 years ago, this staid publication came out in favor of legalizing marijuana.

But the decades passed,with very little change in this country’s marijuana laws. We spent billions to combat it.We imprisoned millions of our (mostly black) citizens as punishment for using it.

We forbid our scientists from researching its effectiveness for medical uses.

All of that, to very little avail.

Finally, drug policy across the nation has been changing. Many states, including Oregon, have medical marijuana programs in place. The best step forward came in Colorado and Washington, which recently became the first two states to decriminalize the drug for recreational use.

Oregonians will again have the opportunity to make recreational marijuana legal.We argue only this: the way this country currently treats marijuana is flawed. That’s why we support the passage of Measure 91. But that doesn’t mean we support the use of marijuana.

We believe only that passage of the measure will raise some tax revenue, free up some jail cells and allow law enforcement to concentrate on more important priorities.

The drug has some unique benefits for those with serious but narrow medical needs.

But for most of us, it’s just another vice to avoid — but not outlaw. Regulation is key and this measure does that well.

Boats against the current “Caring and sharing:” Believe it or not, that was the gist of a press day in the nation’s capital this past week. A group of Catholics, most who probably vote Republican — in some cases primarily if not exclusively because of abortion — gathered to support a new health care sharing ministry, Christ Medicus Foundation CURO. Under Obamacare, these cost-sharing communities — religious believers who sign up to share health care costs — are not subject to Obamacare’s individual and abortion-drug, contraception, sterilization mandate. CURO is the first Catholic health care sharing ministry in the United States. It is able to exist because of a partnership with Samaritan Ministries International.

The team-up represents a “God honoring, Christ-centered, sharing health care” effort, as Samaritan’s Anthony Hopp put it, an attempt to combat not just the affronts to conscience and dignity that the presihealth care dent’s KATHRYN legislation embodies, but LOPEZ the whole trajectory of health-care American Columnist culture. Pope Francis often talks about a throwaway society where indifference to the suffering of others has become routine. These health care sharing ministries are efforts to swim against the stream.

Cosmopolitan, the sex-obsessed women’s glossy magazine, has also been making an effort to head in a contrary direction lately, dabbling in political commentary.But,unlike CMF CURO, the results are less than inspiring, as a recent editorial about a congressional race proved.

Barbara Comstock is a Republican running for Congress in Virginia. She’s exactly the kind of woman you’d want in politics.

She loves her family and her country, knows how Washington works and takes the responsibilities of government seriously.

Were her politics a little different, she’d be the cover gal for women in politics for any magazine.

But Cosmo came out for Comstock’s opponent, John Foust, repeating stale, misleading rhetoric mired in the tired dogma of the sexual revolution and a rigid stance on abortion rights that is out of step with Americans.

Cosmo urges readers to vote for Comstock’s opponent because he passes the abortion litmus test that is all too often the only thing required to earn the left’s seal of approval. And it’s a shame.

But the over-the-top nature of so much of this may just prove to be an opportunity to see real people with authentic ideas and visions for the future.

Pope Francis has pointed to the problem of youth unemployment, and he also talks about seeing the unborn child and the elderly as Christ Himself. This is why even non-religious Americans might welcome a development like CMF CURO teaming up with Samaritan. A culture where doctors and patients have a relationship, where costsharing is rooted in a belief in common brotherhood, where people feel the need to serve, is the kind of culture where charity is fostered and nourished. It makes increasingly possible the idea of a world where no one’s pain is ignored.

Rallying around human dignity in policy and practice — and yes, even politics — is the way out of a culture of indifference and inhumanity. And people in and outside the Beltway are showings us the way.

Letters to the Editor DeFazio better choice for House On Sept.21 more than 400,000 concerned citizens gathered together in New York City to take part in the People’s Climate March. The participants gathered in front of the United Nations building to make their voices heard during the UN climate change summit.

For context, that’s more than the population of Lane County, which includes the large city of Eugene. Smaller events related to the NYC march occurred in Eugene and even Port Orford.

While climate change is not going to be the main event this November, the election will have significant implications for our country’s role in the climate change debate for the next several years. President Obama is trying to do his part through domestic rules to reduce carbon dioxide from coal plants; a small step in the right direction. As usual, Republicans are trying to block him.

This year, Art Robinson, the famed climate change denier, is running yet again to replace Congressman Pete DeFazio. Not only does Art Robinson not believe in the scientific consensus that carbon pollution is heating the planet, he actually said reducing carbon pollution would hurt the planet. That’s right — reducing pollution is bad for the planet.

Congressman DeFazio has used his knowledge of how Washington works to bring much benefit to the residents of District 4. The 7,0008,000 veterans in Coos County should remember that DeFazio was instrumental in keeping the Roseburg VA hospital open, when VA headquarters in Washington, D.C., wanted the hospital closed.

DeFazio got this area the monies to reopen the coast railroad, benefiting many blue collar workers. He also fast tracked and got money for dredging along the

South Oregon coast. He has used his time in Washington to serve our citizens well.

When things get worse economically — and they will get worse; just attend a county commissioners meeting to learn that fact — I want Congress DeFazio as our representative in Washington.

He knows how to get things done.

He has our backs. We should have his.

DeFazio’s opponent this November has no experience in how Washington works.He would be ineffective at best, destructive at worst. I will take the proven representative over someone with no track record every time. Vote DeFazio.

Let’s vote for some new voices Here we go again!

Contemplating electing Mr. Retread governor, 16 years in Salem; Mr. Retread congressman, 26 years in Washington. Really!

The state of Oregon is the way it is because of Republican governors. Tom McCall, Mark Hatfield, land use, bottle bill, wild rivers, green spaces, free beaches and more. Oregon was made this way by good men with big ideas who made it happen.

Mr. DeFazio voted “for” Kitzhaber Mr. Obamacare. attempted to “Cover Oregon.”

Look how far we’ve come with them! Both of these plans are a can of sticky worms that have turned our triple-A medical system into garbage, and expensive garbage at that.

If it had been done properly, and thought over properly, it may have worked for those who needed it and not messed up the whole system.They were warned but listening isn’t high on their list.

Let’s make them listen this election time and send them home so they can be in the real

world with the rest of us, with high taxes, crushing inflation, lax immigration, and really scary foreign policy.

Give Richardson and Robinson a chance to make a difference.

Vote wisely, but vote!

Who really is George Soros?

Fay Albertson, forum Sept. 22, asked for information on George Soros. This is a sample.

Soros robbed every British taxpayer Sept. 16, 1992, by shorting the British pound in the European stock exchange.Soros made over a billion dollars in a trick that should be illegal.

Soros was convicted of insider trading by the French, fined $2.2 million in 2002, and lost his appeal in 2006.Soros is a convicted felon.

Soros gave $500,000 to the group that had Texas Governor Rick Perry indicted. They are trying to keep Perry out of the presidential race.

On Dec. 20, 1998, Steve Croft’s (60 Minutes) interview of Soros, he admitted collaborating with the Nazis, rather ironic considering he is originally a Hungarian Jew and accused Bush of being a Nazi. Soros is a currency manipulator and has owned Obama since his money made him an Illinois senator, and has had regular, private meetings with Obama at the White House.

Billionaire Soros has created and is funding, with millions of dollars, dozens of left-wing communist groups and individuals.

Soros, like the Democrats he controls, wants the United Nations to take over our country and confiscate our guns, then burn our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

This country’s corporate Democrat billionaire robber barons like Soros should be living

with Bernie Madoff in federal prison.

Lorraine Pool’s letter about the Koch brothers reminded me of this Ronald Regan quote: “I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‘fat cat’ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a “public-spirited philanthropist.” Which is Soros, Lorraine?

Burr George Hood

Lucinda Lucy Moralez

Sept. 27, 1927 - Sept. 16, 2014

Aug. 16, 1930 - Oct. 3, 2014

Burr George Hood, 86, of Grants Pass died Sept. 16, 2014, at Fair View Transitional Health Center.

Burr was born Sept. 27, 1927, in Grants Pass to George and Viola Hood, one of eight children, three brothers and four sisters. He was raised in Grants Pass and attended school there.

During World War II he served his country honorably. After the war, he became an ironworker for Local 29, until he retired.

Burr was a man who stood up for what he believed in and was very firm in his convictions. He also was known to be quite the prankster. As someone said, “He drove fast, fought hard and was a good friend to the end.” He will be missed.

Burr was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He enjoyed reading Louis L’Amour books, hunting, camping and fishing. He built fishing boats with his dad.

However, his favorite of all was running his trap line which he did until the end.

Burr is survived by daughters, Robin K. Hood and Janene E. Whorley, both of Coos Bay; sister, Margarett Kronnebusch of Winona, Minn.; four grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and numerous nieces and nieces.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Viola and George Hood; brothers and sisters, Eleanor Proctor, William “Bill” Hood, Dorthy Joliffe, Robert “Bob” Hood, Ann Waxham and Donald “Donnie” Hood; and greatgrandson, Liam Jeans.

At his request there will be no service.

Woman who suspects abuse should resist accusations DEAR ABBY: When I was 10, I faked an injury so I could quit playing soccer. I couldn't articulate why the coach, who was clean-cut, friendly and fair, made me uneasy.

After he died a few years ago, it came out that he had DEAR molested dozens of girls.

Over the subsequent 20 years, those same instincts h a v e screamed at me three JEANNE more times PHILLIPS — and twice I was proven correct. The third man to set off this alarm is in my social circle, along with his wife. Several of the couples in our group are starting families.

I feel like I’m in a terrible position. Should I say something and risk destroying an innocent man’s reputation and the group dynamic, or remain silent and risk the kids being around a predator?

I don’t have a shred of evidence, just a gut-punch feeling.

I never said anything about the prior abusers, but I don’t sleep well wondering if I should have — even if it was based solely on a sixth sense.

What should I do? — NOSE LIKE A BLOODHOUND DEAR NOSE: Child molesters belong to every race, both sexes, and come in various age ranges. The problem with criminals of every sort — child abusers and con men included — is they look like the rest of us.

I’m sorry you’re having sleep problems, but the solution to them is NOT to accuse someone about whom you have no proof. To falsely accuse him could destroy both of you, and I don’t recommend it.

Community College and Oregon State University before graduating from the University of Oregon Dental School where she obtained her degree as a registered dental hygienist in 1968. It was there she met her beloved husband of 43 years.

Bill and Linda were married March 7, 1971, at the Coquille Methodist Church.

Linda joined Bill at Ft. Bragg, N.C., where he was a general dentist in the U.S. Army. Later they moved to Philadelphia, Pa., for two years and enjoyed many trips along the East Coast. Their favorite place remained Oregon and they returned to their home state and opened the Brodie dental practice together in Jacksonville in 1974. Their son, Scott, joined the practice in 2005.

Linda’s passions were cooking, flower arranging and the local farmers market. She also loved the outdoors and enjoyed hiking around the Jacksonville Woodlands and the Oregon coast. Linda loved to travel and she enjoyed several trips thoughout the world with her husband and family.

A favorite destination was Kauai.

Her greatest strength was caring for her family and friends. She was known for her generosity and kindness

of heart. Linda was most proud of being a mother. She was always praying for her family and was a member of the Applegate Christian Fellowship for more than 30 years. One of her greatest achievements was coordinating many dental missions to Mexico where she also served as a dental hygienist alongside her family for more than 20 years. She was enriched by this experience and admired by the rest of the team.

Linda will be deeply missed. Everyone who met her was touched by her richness of character, beautiful spirit and selflessness.

Goodbye Sweetheart, we love you dearly and our wonderful memories of you will live on in our heart forever.

A memorial service will be held for family and friends at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at the Applegate Christian Fellowship with Pastor Phil Evans officiating.

repairs before being sent to the South Pacific, where it took part in the battles of Ulithi, Leyte Gulf, Ormoc Bay and Lingayen Gulf. On Jan. 6, 1945, the USS Walke was attacked by four kamikazes, they succeeded in downing three, but one flew into the bridge above Bill’s gun mount releasing a 250-pound bomb that went through the ready room and exploded in the sea. The resulting fire engulfed the gun mount Bill was in and the one below them causing the death of 26 men. Bill was badly burned and the lone survivor of his group. Bill was awarded the Military Order of the Purple Heart medal for his injuries. After extensive repairs at Mare Island the ship returned and did picket duty in the South Pacific until the Japanese surrender. The Walke was in Tokyo Harbor when the Japanese signed the surrender papers aboard the USS Missouri. He made several life long friends who remained in contact, especially Dino Lehares. When Bill and his brother, Jack returned home from the service, along with their father, they built one of the first supermarkets in New Bethlehem.

Bill was active in the community working with Lions Club, Farmers and Markets Picnic, PTA, the chamber of commerce, the bowling and baseball teams,but always felt his greatest achievement was being fire chief. After the death of his father, the store

was sold and Bill and family moved to California and Jack and family moved to Colorado. Bill worked in the grocery business until he retired to a fishing camp on the Sacramento River in 1980. in 1989 Bill sold the Grimes Boat Landing and retired to Coos Bay. He volunteered with the Coos Bay Police Department for nine years, served as commander of local Chapter 1942 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and commander of the of Oregon Department Military Order of the Purple Heart. In June 2013, he and his daughter Amy had the privilege of traveling on an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. to see the WWII memorial.

Bill is survived by his wife of 66 years, Jeanne Wolfe Rugh; son, Randy Rugh and wife, Lauren; daughter, Amy Rugh; sister-in-law, Pat Rugh; brother-in-law, Bob Wolfe ands wife, Sharon; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; daughters, Mardi in 1978 and Lori in 2000; and brother, Jack in 2012.

Syrian rights groups call on world to save Kobani

D I G E S T 1st Ebola patient in the US has died DALLAS (AP) — The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States died Wednesday morning in a Dallas hospital, a hospital spokesman said.

Thomas Eric Duncan was pronounced dead at 7:51 a.m. at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, where he was admitted Sept. 28 and has been kept in isolation, according to spokesman Wendell Watson.

Duncan’s condition was changed Saturday from serious to critical.

Duncan carried the deadly virus with him from his home in Liberia, though he showed no signs when he left for the United States. He arrived in Dallas on Sept. 20 and fell sick a few days later.

Others in Dallas still are being monitored as health officials try to contain the virus that has ravaged West Africa, with more than 3,400 people reported dead.

Kerry to meet top diplomat for nuke talks WASHINGTON (AP) — With a late-November deadline approaching, America’s top diplomat is plunging back into Iranian nuclear talks with one eye on his adversary and the other on developments at home, as pressure rises in Washington for a deal ensuring the Islamic republic cannot become a nuclear state.

The prospect of a Republican takeover of the Senate means Secretary of State John Kerry will be on a tight leash.

Kerry, European Union negotiator Catherine Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will gather in Vienna next week, diplomats say. Another negotiating round is expected shortly after to include Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. They all have seven weeks to seal a comprehensive accord easing economic sanctions on Iran for curbs on its nuclear program. Failure could mean the process falling apart.

Fight puts temporary halt to Sandy recovery BAY SHORE, N.Y. (AP) — A court fight to protect the piping plover is holding up a $207 million plan to replenish sand along a 19-mile stretch of shoreline on New York’s Fire Island.

The small bird that lives on the island is listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act and, elsewhere in the country, is listed as endangered. Besides arguing to protect the bird’s habitat, critics say the project would be a huge waste of money.

But elected officials have decried the delay, saying human lives are in danger if a repeat of 2012’s Superstorm Sandy strikes the region and work is not completed to bulk up Fire Island as a barrier for mainland Long Island.

During the storm, dunes as high as 20 feet facing the Atlantic Ocean were credited with absorbing the brunt of Sandy’s fury and preventing widespread damage on the barrier island 5 miles south of Long Island’s mainland.

Geithner grilled over handling of bailout WASHINGTON (AP) — Timothy Geithner, a key player in the U.S. government’s 2008 bailout of American International Group Inc., is due back in court Wednesday in a trial of a lawsuit filed by the insurance giant’s former CEO over the handling of the rescue.

On Tuesday, Geithner affirmed his belief that the bailout was needed to avert disaster for the financial system.Geithner was president of the New York Federal Reserve at the time of the rescue and later Treasury secretary.

A lawyer grilled Geithner at the trial of the lawsuit brought by former AIG Chairman and CEO Maurice Greenberg. He is suing the federal government for about $40 billion in damages, asserting that it violated the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment by taking control of the insurance giant without “just compensation” for the shares it received.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey (AP) — Several Syrian human rights groups called on the world to save the embattled Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani from falling into the hands of the Islamic State group as new U.S.-led airstrikes targeted the extremists near the town Wednesday.

The strikes are part of a wave of U.S.-led coalition bombing this week that aims to prevent Islamic State fighters from capturing the town. An activist group said the strikes killed at least 45 militants since late Monday, forcing them to withdraw from parts of Kobani.

The dramatic appeal by human rights groups came after Islamic State fighters — despite the airstrikes — managed to push into parts of the town, located on the Syria-Turkish border and also known under its Arabic name of Ayn Arab.

Kobani has been under the onslaught of the Islamic State group since midSeptember when the militants’ launched their offensive in the area, capturing several Kurdish villages around the town and bringing Syria’s civil war yet again to Turkey’s doorstep.

The fighting has forced some 200,000 of the town residents and villagers from the area to flee and seek shelter across the frontier in Turkey. Activists also say that more than 400 people have been killed in the fighting.

Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab and its surrounding areas have been under attack since mid-September, with militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages. warplanes believed to be of the U.S.-led coalition bombed positions of the Islamic State group near Kobani. One airstrike, visible from the border, hit a hill and an open space near the town.

Since Monday night, the strikes killed 45 Islamic State fighters in and around

Kobani, targeted 20 separate locations with the extremists and destroyed at least five of their vehicles, the Observatory said.

The airstrikes also forced Islamic State fighters to withdraw from several streets they had controlled earlier, added the Observatory, which tracks the Syrian conflict through a network of activists on the ground.

The hue results from sunlight scattering off Earth’s The Associated Press atmosphere.

In Japan, clear skies turned partly cloudy as the eclipse progressed, but some people who gathered on the rooftops of skyscrapers in Tokyo saw the moon turn a rusty brown when the clouds cleared.

“When the sun, moon and earth align,I get the feeling that we are also a part of the solar system,” Yoshiko Yoneyama, a 66-year-old homemaker, said.

“It’s that kind of feeling.”

3 win Nobel for super-zoom microscopes STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two Americans and a German scientist won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for finding ways to make microscopes more powerful than previously thought possible, allowing scientists to see how diseases develop inside the tiniest cells.

Working independently of each other, U.S. researchers Eric Betzig and William Moerner and Stefan Hell of Germany shattered previous limits on the resolution of optical microscopes by using glowing molecules to peer inside tiny components of life.

Human Rights Organization in Syria — said Islamic State fighters’ offensive on Kobani and their “inhuman practices and measures have taken a clear form of persecution and ethnic cleansing.”

The statement also said that the fighting over Kobani has displaced nearly 280,000 people who fled fearing “killings, executions, throat slitting, beheadings, mayhem and kidnaping of women and children.”

Their breakthroughs, starting in the 1990s, have enabled scientists to study diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s at a molecular level, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

“Due to their achievethe optical ments microscope can now peer into the nanoworld,” the academy said, giving the 8 million-kronor ($1.1 million) award jointly to the three scientists for “the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.”

Betzig, 54, works at the

Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Ashburn, Virginia. Hell, 51, is director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Goettingen, Germany, and also works at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. Moerner, 61, is a at Stanford professor University in California.

“I was totally surprised, I couldn’t believe it,” said Hell, who was born in Romania.

“Fortunately, I remembered the voice of Nordmark and I realized it was real,” he added, referring to Staffan Nordmark, the academy’s

permanent secretary.

The Nobel judges didn’t immediately reach Moerner, who was at a conference in Brazil. He found out about the prize from his wife after she was told by The Associated Press.

“I’m incredibly excited and happy to be included with Eric Betzig and Stefan Hell,” Moerner told the AP. For a long time optical microscopes were limited by, among other things, the wavelength of light. So scientists believed they could never yield a resolution better than 0.2 micrometers.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — An air tanker fighting a wildfire on the edge of Yosemite National Park in Northern California smashed into a steep canyon wall Tuesday, killing the pilot who was believed to be the only person aboard, officials said.

Rescue crews hiking through extremely rugged terrain found the wreckage and confirmed the pilot’s death several hours after the plane crashed, said Alyssa Smith, spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The pilot’s family has requested no name be released until all immediate family members can be notified, Smith said.

The plane went down about 4:30 p.m. within a mile of the park’s west entrance, Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said.

California Highway Patrol Sgt. Chris Michael said he was stopping traffic along state Route 140 at the west entrance to the park when he witnessed the crash.

“I heard a large explosion, I looked up on the steep canyon wall and saw aircraft debris was actually raining down the side of the mountain after the impact,” he told The Associated Press by telephone. “It hit the steep side of the canyon wall. It appeared from the direction he was going, he was trying to make a drop down the side of the canyon when he hit the canyon wall.”

The fire was spreading up the canyon wall, and it appeared the pilot was trying to lay down fire retardant to stop its progress, Michael said.

“It most definitely did disintegrate on impact,” he said.

“It was nothing. I didn’t see anything but small pieces.”

Pieces of the aircraft landed on the highway and came close to hitting fire crews on the ground nearby, but no one on the ground was injured, he said.

“It came pretty close to hitting them, but they were far enough away that it missed them, fortunately,” he said.

The airplane, manufactured in 2001 and based out of Hollister, is an S-2T air tanker, which is flown by a single pilot and normally has no other crew members. The tanker uses twin turbine engines and is capable of carrying 1,200 gallons of retardant, said another CalFire spokesman, Daniel Berlant.

Trial set in toddler death ASTORIA (AP) — A Washington state woman accused of drowning her 2year-old daughter and cutting the throat of her teenage daughter at an Oregon coast resort last summer is tentatively set for trial July 7.

Jessica Smith’s defense lawyers sought a trial date in spring or early summer 2016 during a hearing Tuesday in Circuit Court in Astoria.

Judge Cindee Matyas set the trial date for next July, but said she would allow defense lawyer Williams Falls a postponement if needed.

The 40-year-old Goldendale woman earlier pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder in the attacks.

When asked whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty, District Attorney Josh Marquis said it’s still too soon to make that decision, the Daily Astorian reported.

CITIES Taxes could generate millions Continued from Page A1 they could win,” he said.

Residents of Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C., will all vote Nov. 4 on whether to legalize recreational marijuana. Voters in Colorado and Washington state approved recreational pot in 2012.

A total of 16 communities in Colorado have imposed taxes on marijuana on top of a state tax. In Washington state, the law did not grant local governments such authority, though general local sales taxes still apply.

The city’s decision-making process is also helped by the marijuana dispensary moratorium, which runs until May 15, 2015.

Unless the city lifts the moratorium or the requirements for a business license change, the city will have ample time to make the necessary changes.

tention at the council meeting was how to address medical marijuana.

Several council members sought an equal medical and recreational tax due to the abuse of marijuana cards and the potential for drug users to seek one to lower the tax burden.

Mayor Crystal Shoji, while not adamant on opposing a tax on medical marijuana, voiced her concerns over punishing constituents with legitimate health concerns, citing the lack of additional taxes levied on prescription drug users.

As part of the meeting, council members also looked at the decision making processes of other cities.

While most cities established a 5 percent tax for medical marijuana and a 10 percent tax for recreational marijuana, rates for medical marijuana ranged up to 25 percent and up to 40 percent for recreational marijuana.

lands, it also has the right to turn management over to a private entity “if it determines that would be more advantageous to the Common School forest lands and the Common School Fund Trust.”

“Management by nongovernmental entities provides an opportunity to not only meet the management plan objectives but also an opportunity to minimize management costs and litigation risk,” Rogan said.

“The way I look at is we’re not taxing prescription medications,” she said. “And that’s the same prescription, written by the same doctor that’s going to write the medical marijuana (prescription).”

She was concerned that making the tax too high would just promote the black market on pot.

“If we’re going to tax it,” she said, “I think that we should leave the medical part alone.”

Bowing rule is stupid Last Thursday, Oregon bowed down to the letter of the law.

Inside of three minutes left in Oregon’s 31-24 upset loss to Arizona, Wildcats quarterback Anu Solomon flushed to his right, Ducks defensive end Tony Washington Jr. drove his shoulder into his hip, clung to Solomon’s shoulder pads and wrangled him to the ground to force a fourthand-17 and (probably) a field goal.

Then Washington showed his appreciation for the Oregon fans SPORTS — the Duck diehards were filling the Autzen stands for the 100 consecutive sellout — by bowing towards his bench, a gift any Duck fan would’ve returned 20 secGEORGE onds later.

Yellow flag.

ARTSITAS First down.

Terris Jones-Grigsby touchdown.

Duck loss.

By the letter of the law, yes, the celebration deserved a flag.

“Bowing at the waist after a good play” is literally named in the rule book as something deserving of a flag.

But giving a kid who just made the biggest play of his life a flag for an extemporaneous celebration detracts from what football is about. Football thrives on triumphs, not legislating the celebrations of said triumphs — especially based on something as arbitrary as what angle you make with your body.

I’ve never been one to want to penalize any type of celebrations, but then again, I’ve never been a person incapable of having fun.

This is one of the few examples of where a rule isn’t just attempting to fix something that isn’t broken, but is also enforced so poorly, kids like Washington have trouble understanding its application.

The Duck junior did the same celebration the previous game against Washington State after another crucial sack and wasn’t flagged. He said that the Ducks in general have picked up the celebration because slightly leaning forward was seemingly innocuous.

And then there’s the fact Keannon Lowe bowed SIX MINUTES before Washington after the receiver’s touchdown tied the game at 24-24.

Washington, expectedly, declined comment after the game Thursday. Following Monday’s practice, he spoke about how it was selfish, he put himself over his teammates, won’t do it again, blah blah blah.

I want to see how he would react if they ever threw a flag for his pre-game ritual. Prior to kickoff, Washington kneels on the turf, kisses his fingers, touches his heart and then points to the sky, honoring the father he lost to a heart attack five years ago.

Thankfully for the NCAA public relations staff, that type of thing flies, but there always seems to be a line of interpretation with these rules.

What if Washington was from Japan and bowing was part of his culture? A few months ago, Renton Poole was the ace of the North Coos pitching staff and in town over the summer from Okinawa, Japan. The gangly tactician used to bow at the front of the mound at Clyde Allen Field to his catcher or coach whenever he’d get a compliment.

“For me, it’s just a sign of respect,” Washington said to media outside Hatfield-Dowlin Complex on Monday afternoon, speaking like a guy who was genuinely remorseful and trying to atone for a mistake. ”It’s me bowing down to the Lord, thanking him for where I’m going and where I am, but refs saw it as a celebration and I agree with them. It was dumb, I shouldn’t of did it, it was selfish and now we try to move forward and learn from it.”

The Ducks, starting with Marshfield graduate and head coach Mark Helfrich, have said that Washington should’ve celebrated with his teammates. That bowing on his own doesn’t go with their team concept, which Washington agrees with.

“The refs made a call and whatever they say goes,” Washington said.

Agreed. What they’re saying should go, ideally right out of the rulebook.

Pirates improve playoff hopes with win

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Looking down at his clipboard and the litany of his players who scored on the day, Marshfield boys soccer coach Kevin Eastwood had a snappy answer to whether he ever lost count of the score during his team’s 10-0 blowout of South Umpqua on Tuesday.

“No,” he said, then smirked.

Eastwood and the Pirates clearly understood the vitality of Tuesday’s matchup with the Lancers. Coming in, the Pirates needed a win to solidly position themselves in third place in the Far West League, 31⁄2 games up on the Lancers with four games left, and in line to earn a spot in the Class 4A play-in round.

“I think everyone on my team

against Douglas, only providing two assists and not scoring in the 5-1 rout because as a foreign exchange student from Brazil, he said he’s used to grass, not turf.

“Now I’m feeling good,” he said on Tuesday, looking down at Golden Field’s grass.

After Meneses, Alec Osorio soared a gorgeous cross toward Cody Eastwood in the 23rd minute, who tried to careen the ball into the net from his body. As the ball bounced around, Banry came in to poke in the goal and put Marshfield up 4-0 at half.

In the second half, MillanFiguero’s two goals (in the 42nd and 65th minutes) were sandwiched around Gates’ lone score in the 52nd and Menses completing his hat trick in the 61st.

Marshfield, Lancers play to scoreless tie

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — The Marshfield girls soccer team turned in its best performance of the year Tuesday and didn’t even have to score to do it.

The Pirates tied South Umpqua 0-0 at Golden Field, dominating ball possession to stay within striking distance for third in the Far West League. Marshfield had previously tied South Umpqua earlier in the season on the road, but Tuesday’s performance eclipsed that.

“This is the best game we’ve had so far this season,” Pirate senior Olivia Gutierrez said. “We all played hard and there was no single person who was better than the others. Pretty much we worked as a team.”

Marshfield, which got its first win of the year against Coquille last Tuesday, consistently held the ball on offense and troubled the Lancer defenders.

The issue for the Pirates was

“We need to learn how to score and get the ball in the net,”

Marshfield head coach Kevin Eastwood said. “They had opportunities today, several, we just

need to get the ball in the net.

Period. Point blank.”

It wasn’t like Marshfield was without chances. Gutierrez, along with juniors Katie Whitty and Tori Hall, incessantly attacked the net.

For most of the second half, they led the frantic Marshfield offense to solid opportunities at goal, just to see chance after chance trickle past the post.

“We had a lot of opportunities to score,” Gutierrez said. ”I think it’s a big confidence boost because we played so well and I think it helped everyone.”

The defense, led by senior Laura Gonzalez, was brilliant.

The Pirates did a good job of jamming the Lancers’ counters.

South Umpqua could never get the ball consistently free enough to make a legitimate threat at goal.

Garcia said her defense had one test for themselves Tuesday — which they passed with flying colors.

Big blast puts Cardinals into NLCS

San Francisco knocks out Nationals SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After their summer slide and a September stumble, the San Francisco Giants have that old October swagger back.

Every other year, it sure seems to work for manager Bruce Bochy’s boys.

Joe Panik scored the goahead run in the seventh inning on Aaron Barrett’s bases-loaded wild pitch, and the Giants edged the Washington Nationals 3-2 Tuesday night to return to the NL Championship Series.

The wild-card Giants, with their cast of rookies and homegrown stars, won 3-1 in the best-of-five Division Series by also scoring on a walk and a groundout. Hunter Pence turned in a defensive gem in right field that helped hold the Nationals at bay as San Francisco won for the 11th time in its last 12 postseason games.

“It’s been a remarkable journey. I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Pence said. “If it was easy, it wouldn’t be as fun.”

San Francisco travels to St. Louis for Game 1 on Saturday night. It’s a rematch of the 2012 NLCS, when the Giants rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Cardinals on the way to their second World Series championship in three years.

Santiago Casilla walked Bryce Harper with two outs in the ninth, then retired Wilson Ramos on a grounder to end it. Casilla was mobbed on the mound as fireworks shot off from the center-field scoreboard.

“I just talked about their will. These guys, they’re relentless,” Bochy said.

“They were warriors on the road. We had to win at Pittsburgh, we got two in

Washington.”

Harper splashed a tying home run into McCovey Cove in the seventh, but Washington’s season ended with three one-run losses, including that excruciating 2-1 defeat in 18 innings Saturday in Game 2.

The Nationals’ offense never got on track, lacking the power that carried them to an NL East title and the best record in the league at 96-66.

“It’s tender and it’s bitter and all of those things, but I’m proud of them,” rookie manager Matt Williams said.

Just like a night earlier

when Giants ace Madison Bumgarner’s one miscue cost his team the game, Barrett blew it this time.

After his wild pitch snapped a 2-all tie, Barrett got set to intentionally walk Pablo Sandoval. But the right-hander sailed a toss way over the head of Ramos, who quickly retrieved the ball near the backstop. Ramos threw to Barrett covering the plate, where he tagged out a sliding Buster Posey.

The call was upheld after a replay review of 1 minute, 57 seconds, denying San Francisco an insurance run.

“It was just one of those

weird plays where they ended up getting me,” Posey said.

Pence produced the play of the night when he slammed his back into an archway on the right-field wall to rob Jayson Werth of extra bases in the sixth. Fans enjoying the game from the outside portwalk witnessed the grab from just behind Pence and broke into frenzied cheers.

“That catch he made was unreal. It really brought momentum back in our favor,” Posey said.

The very next inning, Pence could only watch as Harper hit a towering drive over the right-field arcade and between two boats among a large group of kayakers in the cove. It was the 104th splash homer at 15year-old AT&T Park and third in the postseason.

Hunter Strickland, the rookie reliever who gave up Harper’s solo home run to the third deck in the seventh inning of Game 1 and then later said he would challenge the young slugger again if given the chance, got his opportunity Tuesday and paid for it.

Harper crushed a 3-1 pitch from Strickland and appeared to give the pitcher a look as he rounded the bases.

Harper celebrated in the dugout and shouted out toward the field.

“It’s a 2-1 game, I hit the home run in the seventh, of course I’m going to go crazy. I don’t even know what I’m doing,” Harper said. “They beat us, so the home run was nothing.”

Strickland still did enough to earn his first postseason victory. Sergio Romo pitched a perfect eighth and Casilla closed it out before the celebration began.

NFL Lions bring in Prater to solve kicking woes DETROIT — The Detroit Lions have signed Matt Prater to a one-year deal in their latest effort to fix their early kicking woes.

The Lions confirmed the agreement Tuesday night. The Broncos cut ties with Prater last week, when the 30-yearold kicker was about to come off a four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

Prater made 25 of 26 field goals last season, including a record-setting 64-yarder against Tennessee. The Lions have grown increasingly desperate for kicking help after rookie Nate Freese went 3 of 7 on field goals and Alex Henery went 1 of 5.

Prater has been in the NFL’s substance-abuse program, which includes alcohol, since a DUI arrest on Aug. 12, 2011. He was originally facing a ban for a full season but his lawyer negotiated a four-game ban instead.

Saints sign Crabtree for relief at tight end METAIRIE, La. — With Jimmy Graham nursing a shoulder injury, the New Orleans Saints have signed

tight end Tom Crabtree.

The 28-year-old Crabtree, who has played three seasons with Green Bay and one season with Tampa Bay, signed on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Saints placed injured safety Jairus Byrd on injured reserve.

The Saints have not discussed the severity of Graham’s left shoulder injury, which occurred in the first quarter of last Sunday’s victory over Tampa Bay. The Saints have a bye this week and are not required to list Graham on an injury report until Oct. 15.

Crabtree had his best season with the Packers in 2012, when he caught eight passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns.

NFL investigates laser incident in Buffalo BUFFALO, N.Y. — The NFL is attempting to shed light on who allegedly shined a laser pointer at Buffalo Bills players at Detroit’s Ford Field last weekend.

League spokesman Michael Signora said the NFL is investigating the Bills’ complaint and attempting to identify the person responsible. Quarterback Kyle Orton and holder Colton Schmidt said they had a laser directed at them during Buffalo’s 17-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

The league will share the results of its investigation with police, Signora said. All four North American major professional sports leagues bar the use of laser pointers at their facilities.

COLLEGE SPORTS Former athletes file suit against TV networks NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A group of 10 former college athletes have filed a proposed class action, antitrust lawsuit against several television networks and college conferences, including ESPN, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and the Southeastern Conference, for profiting off their names and likenesses without their permission in both ads and televising games.

The lawsuit filed last Friday in U.S. District Court in Nashville features former Vanderbilt safety Javon Marshall as lead plaintiff along with former teammates Eric Samuels and Steven Clarke. The lawsuit wants a class action for all current and former players in the Football Bowl Subdivision and Division I men’s basketball.

In the lawsuit, plaintiffs allege the release studentathletes are forced to sign is “unconscionable, and vague,” rendering it void and unenforceable.

SKIING Olympic freestyle champ focuses on accounting MONTREAL — Alex Bilodeau is retiring to become an accountant.

That’s right, the two-time Olympic gold medalist who made a career of hurtling down hillsides and flying over ramps now wants to spend his days tallying numbers at a desk.

“It’s not how much fun it is, it’s how much you understand about business,” Bilodeau said Tuesday after formally announcing his retirement from freestyle skiing. “I love business, economics and finance, and accountancy is a great way to understand all of it.

“I’m all about learning now. I’ve always thought in a four-year (cycle) and right now, that’s getting my CPA designation. We’ll see after that.”

Bilodeau, 27, won gold in moguls at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and again in Sochi last February.

He chose the downtown office of the KPMG accounting multinational for his announcement.

His father is a partner at the Dutch-based firm and Bilodeau has a deal to serve as an ambassador, recruiting talent from across Canada, until 2017. That is when he is expected to have finished his studies at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business and become a certified professional accountant.

Utah’s Enes Kanter drives around Portland’s Chris Kaman during the fourth quarter Tuesday.

Blazers fall in preseason opener SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Alec Burks scored 12 points and Derrick Favors added 10 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Utah Jazz to a 92-73 exhibition victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.

Utah dominated around the basket and in transition

in the preseason opener for both teams. The Jazz had a 52-45 rebounding edge and a 42-28 advantage in points in the paint. Utah also led the Blazers 18-10 in fast-break points Will Barton scored 12 points for the Blazers, and reserve Chris Kaman added

10 points and seven rebounds.

Portland shot just 34.6 percent (28-for-81) from the field, including a 3-for-19 performance from 3-point range.

The Jazz held the Blazers without a field goal for the final 7:39 of the first half and

for a stretch lasting nearly six minutes midway through the third quarter.

All five Utah starters scored in double figures while none of the Portland starters scored more than nine points.

The teams play again in Portland on Thursday night.

ESPN says that former Arkansas and South Florida coach Stan Heath will also join ESPNU as a game and studio analyst.

NEW YORK (AP) — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is flattered that North American cities without hockey teams are interested in adding one to their towns, but it just isn’t in the plans.

Bettman isn’t quite sure what fuels the talk that the NHL is looking to widen the league beyond the current 30 franchises — he suggested perhaps slow news days in the summer. He is pleased with the health of the league, and there have been no internal discussions about adding teams.

It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen down the road.

“If we go through a formal expansion process, then we will have to evaluate that very question,” Bettman said Tuesday during an interview with The Associated Press inside his Manhattan office.

“What we are doing is continuing to listen to expressions of interest, and we’re pleased that there are lots of expressions of interest, but we haven’t and are not ready to deal with them in a very structured, formal way and

make that decision.”

Before any expansion discussions can be held, the NHL will have to decide how many teams is enough, and if adding others will water down the product.

“That would require us to do an analysis we haven’t done,” Bettman said. “If you look around, there is no list on the wall ranking cities where we’re not. We’re listening. There is apparently a lot to listen to, but at this point that’s all we’re doing.”

And now that the Coyotes are again firmly entrenched in Arizona, there is no immediate risk of any team moving, either.

“There is no reason to relocate,” Bettman said. “The 30 franchises have never been healthier, never been better owned, never been more stable.”

But back in 2013, the Coyotes were in flux and a candidate to switch cities. A story in the Seattle Times said that the Coyotes were hours and one city council vote away from being sold and packed up to Seattle.

“Even though we were winning, it’s still an amazing feeling knowing you put one in the back of the net.”

Next up for the Pirates is North Bend on Thursday at Marshfield before finishing out the final three games of the season on the road at Brookings-Harbor, CoquilleMyrtle Point and Douglas.

The Pirates have lost by a combined score of 12-0 to the Bruins and Bulldogs, but have beaten the DevilCats and Trojans by a combined 12-1.

One win guarantees them a spot in the postseason.

“Every game at this point is big for us,” Eastwood said.

“We wouldn’t mind knocking North Bend or Brookings off their pedestal.”

From Page B1 The final two goals were poured in from Reed, one in the 70th minute and another a laser from point blank range into the near side top corner of the net in the 74th.

Reed, who has been forced out of his position at goalkeeper because of a shoulder injury he sustained against North Bend a few weeks ago, finally put his name on the board offensively for the season. Reed scored his first goals in any game since he put in a header as a defender two years ago.

“I got a couple in and I was happy,” said Reed, who plays midfield, striker and

Sports RECAP Pirates, Bobcats perfect in league From Page B1

Sunset Conference

VOLLEYBALL Far West League Pirates sweep Bruins: Marshfield’s volleyball team stayed perfect in the Far West League, sweeping BrookingsHarbor 25-4, 25-8, 25-12.

Abby Clough had nine of Marshfield’s 24 aces in the win.

Paige Tavernier added five aces and McKenzie Allison four.

Hailee Woolsey had 15 kills and Allison added seven.

Shaylynn Jensen and Tavernier combined for 25 assists.

The Pirates improved to 5-0 through the first half of league play. They start the second half of the league season at Siuslaw on Thursday.

Trojans tip Bulldogs: Douglas edged visiting North Bend 25-13, 20-25, 19-25, 27-25, 15-7.

Dallas Rincon had 16 kills and Darian Mitchell added 14 for the Trojans. Molly Lavin had 38 assists and Ally Schofield had 29 digs.

“We played well at times and they played well at times,” Douglas coach Carl Bone said. “I have to give our girls credit. They just kept playing hard.”

Brooke Aldrich had nine kills and three blocks, while Codi Wallace had nine kills and three aces for North Bend. Brittney Kubli had five kills and four blocks and Lexi Emmons had a strong game on defense.

“We fought hard,” North Bend coach Les Willett said.

By Lou Sennick, The World

Marshfield goalie Asha Huffman keeps an eye on the ball moving in front of her net Tuesday afternoon during the Pirates’ home game against South Umpqua. Huffman did not allow any goals in the match.

GIRLS Pirates trail SU by one point in standings From Page B1 “We’re just trying to keep the ball out of our net,” left defender Garcia said. “We just got the ball up there and we were hauling butt. No one really gave up and we stuck to it.”

Marshfield had been struggling prior to the win against the Red Devils last week. The Pirates had lost the previous two games by a total of 15-0 (to league leaders Brookings-Harbor and North Bend), prompting a team dinner Monday at El Guadalajara to get their bearings together.

“They’re feeling a little bruised and

beaten, so they needed a pick me up,” Eastwood said.

With the tie, the Pirates sit at 13-2 while South Umpqua is at 1-2-3 with four matches remaining. With third place only one point away, each game becomes much more vital.

“We’re close,” Eastwood said. “We got to get Coquille and we got to get Douglas.”

Marshfield faces the Red Devils and Trojans on the road to close out the season after they take on Far West leaders North Bend and BrookingsHarbor over the next week.

If the Pirates can score, Eastwood thinks they’ll be in good shape for a final play-in spot.

“We’re playing the best at our capacity right now,” Eastwood said.

“We just got to learn how to finish.”

“The attitudes are great. They gave it their all and did well.”

Vikings top South Umpqua: Siuslaw beat the visiting Lancers 25-23, 25-14, 25-14 to finish the first half of the league season in second place.

Bobcats beat Bandon: League-leading Myrtle Point opened the second half of the league season by sweeping the host Tigers 25-16, 25-19, 25-11.

Grace Hermann had 17 kills and Morgan Newton had 32 assists and five aces for the Bobcats. Kayley Leslie had 10 kills, Nikki Miller had 15 digs and an ace and Nicole Seals had five kills and a block.

Kaylynn Pickett had 15 assists and eight digs and played an allaround great match as Bandon’s setter, coach Courtney Freitag said. Raelyn Freitag had seven kills and 10 digs, while Toni Hall had four blocks in her best match at the net all season, Courtney Freitag said.

Maria Nicieza Mendez de Andes, an exchange student, had 20 digs and two aces.

Reedsport tops Toledo: The Braves beat the host Boomers 258, 25-9, 25-15.

Emily Lichte had seven aces and three kills for the Braves in the road win. Julia Analco had five aces and four kills, Alyssa Aguirre had five digs and Kaylynn Hixenbaugh had six aces.

Skyline League Powers tops Glendale: The Cruisers beat the Pirates 24-26, 25-16, 25-13, 17-25, 15-10 to keep third place in the South Division standings.

Riley Middlebrook finished with three kills and seven assists

for the Cruisers. Emilie Fandel had five kills. Riley Baldwin had 15 digs. Elizabeth Standley had four kills.

“We came from behind in the last game, so I was really proud of them,” Powers coach Heather Shorb said.

Powers improved to 6-4 in the standings, while Glendale, which is fourth in the division, fell to 2-8. The top three advance to the league playoffs.

Hornets sweep Pacific: Camas Valley topped the Pirates 25-8, 25-8, 25-17, moving into a tie for first place in the South Division standings when New Hope lost at Days Creek.

Nonleague Devils win: Coquille beat visiting St. Mary’s 25-12, 25-15, 25-23.

McKenna Wilson had 12 kills for the Red Devils an Darian Wilson and Esabella Mahlum had nine kills each. Mahlum also had five aces. Tara Edwards and Bailey Waddington combined for 29 assists.

The match was a break from the Mountain Valley Conference schedule, which resumes with a game at first-place Creswell on Thursday.

“We got to run fun plays and work on some of the stuff that we need to get quicker and better at,” Coquille coach Dondi Howard said. “We definitely need to learn to play at our own intensity.”

The Red Devils improved to 102 on the season, with both losses coming in five-set matches.

“I’m looking forward to Creswell,” Howard said. “Then we will have seen everybody in our league once. It will be fun to come away with either what we are doing right and what we need to work on.”

DILBERT

A surprise cleaning agent for fireplace doors I had a striking deja vu moment when I read today’s first reader tip. I don’t think I’d ever thought about it, but Roseanne’s tip brought back a memory of my grandfather doing this very thing on the big, black cast iron wood range that sat in my grandparents’ tiny kitchen in Potlatch, Idaho. The stove had a EVERYDAY s m a l l CHEAPSKATE d o o r with a g l a s s window t o o bse rve the fire burning inside.

He would c l e a n Mary that door so my Hunt grandmother could see when she needed to add more wood to the stove.

Sounds like something out of the dark ages, doesn’t it? For the record, I was a very, very young at the time.

FIREPLACE GLASS. This is a trick I learned from my mother for cleaning the glass on the glass fireplace or stove doors that get fouled with smoke and soot, becoming opaque so you cannot see and enjoy the flame. Spread newspaper down, and then open the door. Take another wadded-up page of newspaper, wet it, dip it in the ashes and use it to clean the glass.

This will remove everything from the glass without scratching or harming it in any way. Last step: Wad up one last piece of newspaper and use it to wipe away all of the crud and nastiness. The result is quite amazing, and the price is right. — Rosanne TRANSPORT A CAKE. I couldn’t afford one of those pricey cake savers for transporting cakes, so I went to the dollar store and bought the biggest plastic bowl I could find with a lid. I set the cake on the lid with a little frosting under the cake to hold it in place and then frosted it, and now I have an airtight cover by using the bowl over it! —Mike DI S HW AS HE R C L E A N ER. Keep your dishwasher looking like new on the inside by simply pouring a small package of unsweetened Lemonade Kool-Aid powder into the soap dispenser and running it empty for a complete cycle. The citric acid in the Kool-Aid removes all the hard water stains and leaves it sparkling white or (shiny clean if stainless). This is much cheaper than Tang (a useful tip but at $4 or more, pricey), which does about the same thing. Do this twice a year. — Christine MUSTY SMELLS. Here’s one antique dealer’s secret for removing musty smells from old pieces of furniture.

Place a slice of white bread on a saucer and cover it with white distilled vinegar. Place the saucer inside the drawer or cabinet, and carefully close. The smell will absorb into the mixture in just a few days. — Harriet Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630. Include your first and last name and state.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2014 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Discord and disappointment will lead to minor mishaps. Face relationship issues that are causing you stress in order to sleep better. If you feel more at peace, you will be less likely to get sick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t be in such a rush. If your schedule is too full, it’s time to slow things down. Minor accidents are more likely to occur if you are distracted or preoccupied.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Tension and stress can be averted with some form of physical exercise. Sports, a gym membership or less-strenuous pastimes such as yoga will provide an outlet and help you relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If someone disagrees with your opinion, don’t take it personally. Letting your emotions dictate your actions will cost you spiritually, physically and financially if you aren’t careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You will receive a tempting offer.

Make sure to get all of the requirements and expectations in writing before you make a verbal commitment. Romance is on the rise.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t let others take credit for your work. Make sure that your employer knows what and how much you contribute so that your talents will

PUBLISHED: The World - October 08 & 15, 2014 (ID-20261502)

be recognized and advancement will be yours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You will be bogged down with family duties. Let everyone know that you expect hands-on support, or you will end up tired and frustrated.

It will be necessary to look out for your interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Keep a low profile. Dealing with relatives or friends will be troublesome. Find a worthwhile project to work on alone. Reorganize your closet or clear up some personal papers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Step up your physical activity.

Games or sports with younger people will be rewarding and fun, and will help to burn off some extra calories. Welcome any challenge that comes your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t say the first thing that comes to mind. Those around you may be oversensitive, so choose your words carefully in order to avoid an unwanted argument.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Mixing business with pleasure is not a good idea. Revealing too much personal information to colleagues or friends will lead to an embarrassing or uncomfortable situation that will be difficult to reverse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A joint financial venture will lead to problems. A more effective way to hold on to your money is to keep it in a safe place that pays interest.
