COQUILLE — The two Coos County commissioner candidates have the same goals for the county, but they’re coming from opposite directions.

Incumbent commissioner John Sweet and challenger Don Gurney fielded questions from the audience at a forum Wednesday night in Coquille.

Sweet and Gurney differ the most when it comes to the proposed Community Enhancement Plan, which would distribute Jordan Cove’s community service fees (in lieu of property taxes) to

If approved, Jordan Cove would start construction in 2015 or 2016, the same time Coos County is expected to run low on funds. The plan would make Jordan Cove pay these fees almost immediately, rather than eight years down the

Two in area are deemed ‘model schools’

Front Street grant sought

COOS BAY — In an effort to secure additional funds to promote business growth on the waterfront, the Urban Renewal Agency is looking to procure a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency.

The grant, which would provide $400,000 in aid minus management fees, has no initial costs for procurement, and would be used to further the Front Street Plan, Community Development Director Eric Day said.

The three-year grant would allow for soil, infrastructure and transit assessments to determine how to best assist current businesses and attract new ones.

The 20-year plan, which is now in its 16th year, has seen some hurdles cleared as the area has removed waterzoning dependency requirements and is approved for mixed zone use.

While the waterfront has seen aesthetic and safety improvements like increased lighting, flower baskets and sidewalk repair, there is still a greater need for connectivity and pedestrian activity, Mayor Crystal Shoji said.

Day proposed the creation of a takedown list, for which the funds would go towards checking off specific items.

Councilors agreed it was crucial to seek public input through open houses to determine how to best allocate the potential resources and meet the community’s needs.

City Councilor Mark Daily stressed the need to adhere to the plan, given the administration’s willingness in the past to grant business licenses to friends and associates.

“I’d like to think we would show a little backbone,” Daily said.

COOS BAY — The report cards are in, and the fact that two South Coast schools are showing rampant child poverty doesn’t mean students can’t succeed in school.

Oregon’s K - 1 2 public schools and districts Thursday.

Bandon’s Harbor Lights Middle School and North Bend’s Hillcrest Elementary were two of 28 high-poverty schools to earn “model school” designation, meaning they’ve shown significant academic improvement despite their high poverty status. Students fall into the disadvan“economically taged” category if they qualify for free or reducedprice lunch.

During the 2013-2014 school year: ■ 84.5 percent of Harbor Lights and 78.2 percent of Hillcrest students passed reading.

■ 80.1 percent of Harbor Lights and 76.8 percent of Hillcrest students passed math.

Public says no to Elliott Forest privatization

BY KURTIS HAIR The World

COOS BAY — Landowners, environmentalists, timber workers and elected officials voiced their concerns to the Oregon State Land Board on Wednesday evening over the ownership of the Elliott State Forest, and the majority want to keep the forest as public lands.

The board met at the Hales Performing Arts Center on the Southwestern Oregon Community College Coos Bay campus to get input on the ownership and management of the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project. The board, which consists of the governor, who was present via Skype, state treasure and secretary of state, is in charge of managing the forest.

Of the alternatives the board has put on the table, selling the forest was the main concern for the majority who spoke at the meeting.

Selling the forest to a private owner would be possible.

For three hours, about 60 people emotionally voiced their concerns over the negative impacts that

Amanda St. Martin, a volunteer for the Coast Range Forest Watch, spoke at the meeting, and she said it would be a shame to see the Elliott Forest sold.

“I camp, hike and swim in the Elliott regularly,” St. Martin said.

“It’s my favorite place. It’s why I

moved to Oregon.”

Of the forest’s 92,000 acres,about 90 percent are part of the Common School Fund, which means money from timber sales help finance K-12 schools. Since the fund was set up, the Elliott State Forest has netted about $300 million for the fund.

It’s time to get ready for work Our view When employers go begging to fill jobs, it’s time for job hunters to reexamine the opportunities available.

What do you think?

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

Some of our local young people go to college, amass a crushing burden of student loan debt, and spend decades competing for cubicle jobs to pay it off. Some others cruise the aisles of Walmart daily in their pajama pants, lamenting the lack of opportunity around here.

Meanwhile, good jobs are going begging because nobody thinks of pursuing the training they require. For example, in a Sept. 27 World story about Tower Ford’s 100th anniversary, Charlie Day, the third-generation owner of that auto dealership, lamented that it was

hard to find applicants for automotive repair jobs.

“They are not encouraged, I think, to prepare for that sort of an education,” he said.

Two days later, State Rep. Caddy McKeown read that passage from that article at a town hall in North Bend. She was bragging about the Career Tech Revitalization Grant program the Oregon Legislature funded last year.

At the town hall, Reedsport Community Charter School shop instructor Guy Marchione talked about how his shop program, newly expanded with one of these

grants, keeps kids in school and puts them on the path to lucrative careers in shipbuilding and other industries, right here in their hometown. He said local employers are eager to partner with him because they can’t find qualified local applicants in technical fields.

Responding likewise to demand from local employers, SWOCC has developed certificate programs in health, bookkeeping and forestry that let people start work within a year while providing a pathway to further study if they want it.

The programs recently got a vote of confidence in the shape of a $2.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Maybe you’ll want to be a medical records clerk, a truck driver or a forestry technician forever. Maybe you won’t. But do yourself a favor: Before you rack up a lot of debt chasing a white collar that may or may not pay for itself, get to know the job opportunities that are available to you if you get a little training. We have work for you right here.

When can you start?

Lousy with autumn leaf lovers We have been stuck behind Mr. and Mrs. Leaf Peeper for 45 minutes. Sue and I are on our way home from the grocery store; they are on vacation. It’s nice to be on vacation, to not have a worry in the world, to take the time to smell the roses, to wander wherever the wind blows you, to be awed by the wonder of nature, to drink in the majestic beauty of this country, to slow down and admire every new vista in brilliant, flaming colors.

But do you have to do it in front of us?

“Let’s ram them,” Sue said.

I’m not sure she knew she was thinking aloud,but she had read my mind.Dumb,stupid nature. Dumb, stupid beauty. We’ve got things to do. It must be swell to have the time to look at dead leaves,but we’ve got gutters to clean, bulbs to plant, patio furniture to stow away for the winter, storm windows to install. Most of all, I’ve got a lawn full of beautiful leaves to rake. Not so beautiful when they’re knee-deep on your front lawn, are they?

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess I’ll be holding about 20 beautiful giant leaf bags before the day is through. If I ever get home. The leaf lovers ahead of us are now stuck behind other leaf lovers who are even slower than they are. Where do these drivers who have never seen leaves before come from? If they live within driving distance of us, they must certainly have leaves of their very own.

Oh, but they want to see JIM them at their peak.

Nothing but the best for MULLEN them. Two days before Humorist peak, why even get out of bed? Two days after peak?

What kind of chump would want to look at leaves two days after they peak? It would be like going to a museum and finding all the Rembrandts were out being cleaned. The rest of the paintings are just a bunch of Van Goghs and Picassos. Why even bother to leave the house for that?

Or maybe our leaves are different from their leaves. Our leaves turn red and yellow; maybe theirs turn pink with purple polka dots.

Hard to believe they’re just dead leaves. If you look at them close-up, they’re dirty, spotted, misshapen, full of bugs. They’re not very pretty at all. Is yellow a better color than green? Is rusty brown a better color than green? I think green can hold its own with all the other colors. I don’t think we have to get all dramatic about a bunch of leaves losing all their chlorophyll.

Whoa, what’s this? The leaf-huggers have their right blinker on. Finally! Praise the Lord! There’s a pull-off for the overlook up ahead. Yes, get off the road and take your leaf-peeping friends with you!

As we follow them with our eyes, making sure this isn’t some leaf-peeping trick — that suddenly they’ll change their minds and swerve back in front of us at 20 mph — we get a view of the hills and valleys below us.

It was as if a bright red and gold rainbow had fallen to the ground so we could see what it looked like close-up. We slowed down and followed the leaf-peepers into the overlook.

It turned out the “tourists” were from the next town. They didn’t know why, but they’d decided to take the day off and drive around.

We decided to take the rest of the day off, too. The storm windows could wait; who wants to clean gutters on a day like this anyway? I may not rake the leaves at all this year.

Letters to the Editor Another plea for Charter ‘yes’ vote It is time for Coos County citizens to take control and stop the giving away and selling cheaply of our assets.

It is time for the citizens to stop giving control of our assets and property tax monies to the control of private organizations and unelected paid administrators.

It is time the citizens stop their elected officials from sitting idly by (sometimes assisting) while the state and federal agencies take control of Coos County land, thus not only taking the land off our tax rolls but additionally removing farmers/ranchers and their employees from their rightful earnings and community buying power.

It is time the citizens take control and stop the giving of our monies to state and federal buildings and causes. Keep the money and control in this community.

It is time the citizens take control and stop the use of our monies to try and correct state and federal ill-conceived, failed programs which should not have been allowed in the first place.

It is time the citizens take control and demand to be informed and asked what they want before their elected officials enact programs, legislation, land use changes, sell major assets, indebt the citizens, give special considerations to special interest groups, give financial benefits to some businesses but not others — the list goes on.

Take control. Vote yes on the Home Rule Charter, yes on Measure 6-149.

Nothing good to say about Sweet In the past two years, I have monitored and observed the current situation in the county commissioners office and have grown increasingly concerned about the decisions and direction the commission has taken under the leadership of John Sweet. He presents himself as businesssavvy local who wants to represent the “working citizens,” but his actions are not in line with his rhetoric. Look at what he does, not what he says.

“I have stopped the rancor at public meetings.” Rancor, as the commissioner puts it, are the citizens of our county exercising their free speech rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Sweet did not allow public comment at the meeting he co-chaired with officials from the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,and again at the first meeting of the vector control committee.

“I saved the county $7 million by stopping the natural gas pipeline going to Bandon and south.” Stopping the construction of a much needed infrastructure project is shortsightedness considering the massive expansion in the energy market. Currently, the cost of natural gas is about .85

cents a unit compared to $4.50 a unit for the delivery of propane.

Sweet promotes exporting this windfall of resources to foreign countries, yet cruelly denies his fellow citizens from reaping the same benefits of this energy source.

“Commissioner Sweet solved the mosquito problem in Bandon.”

John Sweet has manipulated the process to obscure the real solution beyond any ability to fix the disaster that is the Bandon Marsh.

He failed to appoint a vector committee in a timely manner and opposed the mosquito-monitoring plan designed by the former director of the Coos County Health Department.

“Preliminary to getting Bureau of Indian Affair’s funding to help maintain county roads used by the Coquille Tribe.” The people of Coos County have stated repeatedly that they want no deals or contracts with the Tribe. Their leaders did not keep their word with the city of North Bend over the motel tax, or with the state in regards to building and operating one casino.

These are just four very bad decisions by Commissioner Sweet, which demonstrate a pattern of enriching his cronies, while pacifying constituents.

Ignoring the needs of citizens, refusing to address problems and disallowing open dialogue are not the redeeming qualities of character for a county leader. John Sweet is too cozy with special interest.

Write-in candidate wants your vote With encouragement from The World and Register Guard newspaper editorials directed at potential candidates, I have formally declared that I am a write-in candidate for Coos Bay mayor. Coos Bay voters seeking a choice are being asked to mark their November ballot by writing in the name of Fred Kirby for mayor. It appears that at least two people will undertake a write-in campaign for the council.

Please visit website www.fredkirby.com for some reasons to vote for change. The newspaper editorial boards are correct — voters deserve a choice. Incumbents should defend their record during the election campaign; providing the people with sound reasons why they should be re-elected. In Coos Bay, the incumbent mayor and three incumbent council members are currently unopposed. No candidate filed for the open fourth council position.

There are many reasons to cast a ballot in November: “recreational” marijuana, genetically modified foods labeling, a proposed county charter and more.

Hopefully, I have given citizens another reason to vote. I will never forget that I work for the people.

Thank you.

Elliott should be an asset — not liability

BY JORDAN LOFTHOUSE, RANDY SIMMONS AND JOHN A. CHARLES JR. With Oregon’s schools constantly facing budget crises, why are our lawmakers missing out on the opportunity to give more money to our kids?

As part of the Common School Trust Lands, the Elliott State Forest has the constitutional obligation to generate money for Oregon’s schools. In the last few years, however, environmental interests have carefully manipulated the Endangered Species Act so that the forest costs taxpayers money instead of providing funds for Oregon’s children.

Lately, harvest levels and revenues have been a fraction of their former levels. Despite potential to harvest 40 million board feet in 2013, actual harvest was only 4.5 million board feet. The expected timber harvest for 2014 is similar.

This has resulted in a net deficit of

Your Views $3 million that is covered by your tax dollars.

The Oregon State Land Board is searching for ways to balance the financial responsibilities of the forest with environmental factors hindering the forest from providing revenue for schools.

Researchers at Utah-based Strata Policy have identified several options for monetizing the Elliott State Forest so it can meet its constitutional responsibility to Oregon’s children. Privatizing the Elliott State Forest is likely the most financially beneficial option.

In a report for the Cascade Policy Institute,Eric Fruits of Economics International concluded that selling or leasing forest assets could provide stable funding for Oregon schools at approximately $40 to

$50 million annually.

A second option is a land exchange between the federal government and the state government. The federal government would receive control of the forest in exchange for federally owned land that could be more easily monetized for Oregon schools.

Other states, such as Utah, Minnesota, and California, have all successfully made land exchanges to increase revenue for schools.

A third, but less likely, option consists of renewing a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) with federal agencies. HCPs allow timber to be extracted while also protecting endangered species habitat. The former HCP expired several years ago, meaning that

harvestable areas in the Elliott State Forest are severely limited. If state and federal agencies can negotiate a new HCP for the forest, timber harvest and revenue can increase while also protecting critical habitat. However, conflicts between state and federal agencies make HCP renewal a significant challenge.

As we consider ways of providing increased funding for education in Oregon, we should press the State Land Board to pursue options that will allow the ESF to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities. We can no longer allow environmental groups and federal regulations to dictate the failure of this trust at the expense of children’s education.

Jordan Lofthouse and Randy Simmons are scholars with Strata Policy, based in Utah. John A. Charles Jr. is president and CEO of Cascade Policy Institute in Portland.

Albert was born in Cleveland, Ohio Jan. 11, 1931, to John and Pauline (Schivelbein) Neiman. He was the youngest of three.

Albert went home to be with his Lord and savior Oct. 7, 2014. He was at home in Central Point surrounded by his loving children. His wife of 61 years, Darla had made her way to her heavenly home six months prior. Al lived in Coos Bay from 1951 to 2011 when he and Darla moved to Central Point to be closer to their children.

Al worked at the Al Pierce Lumber Mill and Tower Ford before attending Barber College in Portland. In 1968 he took a job working at the Coos Bay Barber Shop and

purchased the shop in 1978.

He could be seen every day walking to and from the shop down Anderson Street waving at many friends and patrons. He spent many hours cutting hair for residents in living care facilities and nursing homes. He had an article written about him in 1980 calling him “The Scissor Wizard” – that name stuck with him for years after. He had to sell the barber shop in 2003 after having a stroke and sure missed the company of all his customers and friends.

Al loved fishing and was pictured once again in the local newspaper holding his trophy salmon caught on Hunters Creek in Gold

Beach. His children and grandchildren have so many fond fishing memories with him. He was a selfless, giving, kind and humble man with a smile on his face through adversity.

Albert was a member of the Church of the Nazarene and attended both in North Bend and Medford.

Albert is lovingly remembered and will be missed so very much by his four children and their spouses, Debbie and Darin Claiborne, Steven and Carolyn Neiman, Connie and William Easley, and Darlene and Steve Hay; his 11 grandchildren, Annette, Aaron, Dustin, Misty, Amanda, Crystal, Jarod, Michelle, Tyrell,

Carlene and Triston; his 15 great-grandchildren, and two more on the way; and his sister, Pauline Baskall of Sterling, Colo.

Contirbutions in his memory may be made to Bay Area Church of the Nazarene, 1850 Clark St., North Bend, OR 97459; or to Medford First Church of the Nazarene, 1974 E. McAndrews Road, Medford, OR 97504 for their missions fund.

Arrangements are under the direction of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131.

steers in the auction, and rode calves in the junior rodeo. After his many years in 4-H were over, Trent returned to the fair to give his time by assisting younger 4Hers with fitting and showing their cattle, and as a ring man in the livestock auction.

A country boy born and bred, Trent played with toy heavy equipment and trucks in the mud, built hay forts in barns, learned to swim in ponds on the family ranches, and caught fish and frogs in the ditches. He honed his marksmanship by shooting bb guns at countless cans and other targets, soon gradother uating to higher-caliber guns and beginning his prolific hunting career. He was raised on country music and playing hard, but working harder.

Trent attended Bunker Hill Elementary and Millicoma, where he played baseball and football, and added to a broad base of lifelong friends. In 2003, Trent had the first of three brain surgeries to remove a small spot on his brain, which ended his football and rodeo careers. He was proud of the scar that the surgery left, and showed his sense of humor by fabricating tall tales about how it “really” happened. At Marshfield High School, he was the manager for the varsity football team, and won awards for his welding skills.

He graduated in 2006.

The classroom for Trent’s formal education was life

itself. He was a student of good ranching and logging practices. Growing up on a ranch, he helped out with whatever he could, as soon as he was able — helping tag calves from as early as age 4 or 5. His first paying job was working for the family business, as soon as he turned 14.

He built fences and corrals, moved irrigation pipes, drove tractors in the hay fields, and helped work the herds of cattle. When Trent turned 18, he went to work for the logging side of the family business. He started as a chaser his first year, and gained many hours of experience running a chain saw.

During his second season in the woods, he was trained on the D-6 Cat, skidder and grapple shovel. After that, he was promoted to Cat skinner.

In the fall of 2006, Trent had the opportunity for a change of scenery and went to Paiute Meadows Ranch in Winnemucca, Nev., to work at a friend’s high desert cow outfit. He moved cattle on horseback, built and repaired fence, welded and did mechanic work on machinery, and burned fields and irrigation ditches. After the cattle were turned out to winter pasture and ranch work slowed down, he helped a neighbor guide mountain lion hunts. Trent returned to Oregon in the spring of 2007 for logging with the family business.

Trent got a job working for the U.S. Forest Service as a wildland firefighter with the St. Joe Ranger District in Avery, Idaho in the summer of 2009. After that fire season, he moved to Roseburg, and went to work for Lone Rock Timber in the fall of 2009. He began as a choker setter, worked to pull rigging, then moved up to faller.

His quiet, hard-working, eager-to-learn demeanor quickly gained him the respect of his co-workers, some of whom had worked in the woods since before Trent was born. Despite undergoing frequent chemotherapy

treatments, he rarely missed work, and he continued with Lone Rock until the physical effects of the brain tumors made it unable for him to perform work in a logging operation, just a few months before his passing.

Trent was part of a group that calls themselves “The Bubs” who have hunted and killed many elk on the family’s ranches over the years.

Regardless of whether or not Trent was the shooter, he would be the first one to jump in, roll up his sleeves and get to work cleaning and skinning the animal. It was his nature to help anyone.

His honesty and strong work ethic sharpened his keen sense of how to predict the behavior of the cattle he was working, or the best way to fall a big tree safely. Trent would do anything or go anywhere for anyone. In his time off from work, he could be found offering to help his friends work their cattle, just for the sheer enjoyment of the work and helping out — without expecting or accepting any compensation, and just as easily as he could be found scouting elk or looking for shed antlers.

He would often go as far as Nevada or California just to help his friends on their ranches. Wherever there was fun and laughter, Trent was sure to be found. He loved country music and was a terrific swing dancer.

Trent’s strong will and determination were incomparable; they were that of only myths and legends. He was one tough son of a gun, so determined to live life as normal and for cancer to just be a word rather than a sentence, he refused to lay around and rest after subsequent brain surgeries in 2011 and 2013. His recovery from both surgeries was expedited by fresh air and sunshine, just getting back out into nature. In fact, he shot his biggest bull elk ever during archery season just three weeks after his third brain surgery. His motto was “Never Give Up. Never Surrender.”

Trent is survived by his mother, Betsy Messerle and his father, Fred Messerle;

brother, Jay Messerle, his wife, Sandy, and their children, Alisha, Clay, Cora, and Alexis; sister, Kelly Jo Cleveland, her husband, Brian, and their children, Cassidy, Carrie and Josie; sister, Autumn Blood, her husband, Kelly, and their children, Helena, Fielden, and another on the way; brother, Aaron Ellingsen and his wife, Quinn; younger brother, best friend, and lifelong companion, Will Messerle and his girlfriend, Kelsey Bales; longtime girlfriend, Tara Zomerdyk; grandparents, Bill and Faye Trentz; great-grandmother, Rae O’Leary; dozens of aunts, uncles and cousins; and a very tight-knit group of close friends who are more like family.

He was preceded in death by grandparents, Everett and Josephine Messerle; and cousin, Josh Messerle.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to an account in Trent’s name at Banner Bank, 212 S. Fifth St., Coos Bay, OR 97420.

Cremation rites have been held under the direction of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-2673131.

DEAR ABBY: About two years ago, a close female friend, “Carla,” had her first child. The biological father is from another country. When she told him she was pregnant, he refused to have anything to do with the child, so I decided to take over the role as a father.

I have been with Carla and my son since she found out about the pregnancy.When she was in her l a s t DEAR trimester,we decided to give a shot to the relationship and become a couple.

Everything was great.

She had our child. When JEANNE he was born, PHILLIPS I really a became father. But after two years,everything didn’t go as we planned and we broke up.

Now Carla says I’m not the father, and she won’t give my son my last name. I don’t know what to do. I really want him to be known as my son, but without my last name, everyone sees me only as the guy who is raising another guy’s son.

The breakup took a huge toll on me. During our last fight, she said I should forget about being the father and accept that I’m only the godfather. Please tell me what I can do. — SAD DAD IN EL SALVADOR DEAR SAD DAD: There’s a saying, “No good deed goes unpunished,” and I think it applies to you. You appear to be a wonderful,loving person,and I can see how emotionally wrenching this has been for you.

However, the legal father of that little boy is the person whose name is on the birth certificate. While you have loved Carla’s child and have assumed the role of father, legally you may not be. A lawyer can explain this to you, and tell you Ann S. Swenson — if you have any options other 69, of Heppner, passed than being a positive, stable, away Oct. 1, 2014, in masculine presence in the Heppner. No services will child’s life. But I suspect the be held. mother’s wishes will prevail.

DEAR ABBY: I met this beautiful woman online. We have been dating for a few months, and I really don’t care for her natural hairstyle and the scarves/headgear she wears when we’re together.I have tiptoed around the issue. What should I do? — BACHELOR IN Place your ad GEORGIA DEAR BACHELOR: Hair here and give can be a sensitive issue with women.A natural hairdo is a lot your business healthier than coloring, the boost it perming or straightening, all of which involve products that needs. Call can damage hair. Hats and scarves are a quick solution when a woman feels she’s having a bad hair day. My advice to you is to accept her just the way for details she is — unless you want to risk losing her.

Trent Collver Messerle A celebration of life to honor Trent Collver Messerle, 26, of Coos Bay will be held at 11 a.m.

Saturday, Oct. 11, at 94881 Stock Slough Lane in Coos Bay, with a potluck to follow.

Trent passed away peacefully Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014, surrounded by loved ones at a family home full of memories in Coos Bay following a long, courageous fight against an aggressive type of brain cancer.

Trent was born Dec. 18, 1987, to Fred and Betsy Messerle in Coos Bay. He was raised at a family ranch in Sumner; the fifth of six children.

Trent’s childhood was exactly the way it should have been. His younger brother, Will, was born just before Trent’s first birthday; their bond was instantaneous, and as strong as if they were twins. Trent also had several cousins quite close to his age. They played together all the time and became inseparable from the time they were all in diapers.

The relationships they formed in those early years has never wavered. As a group, the cousins’ antics and sense of humor has always been comical, and they all were always laughing.

As part of the family heritage, Trent learned the ways of raising cattle and logging from very early on. Trent had “bottle baby” bummer calves he took care of, showing calves in open class at the Coos County Fair long before he was old enough to join 4H, and began building his own herd of beef cattle. The fair and 4-H were important building blocks in Trent’s path in life, not only from lessons learned and good experiences, but by forging some strong and everlasting relationships with other similar-minded good, honest folks and their families.

State Woman with cancer works for assisted suicide laws PORTLAND (AP) — Brittany Maynard will not live to see if her advocacy makes a difference.

The 29-year-old woman expects to die next month. If the brain cancer from which she suffers does not kill her in October, she plans to take advantage of Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act and end her own life on the first of November — a few days after her husband’s 43rd birthday.

Her birthday is Nov. 19.

“That would have been my 30th birthday,” she said in an interview Wednesday. “As of right now, I don’t know that I’m going to make it to my 30th birthday, and that’s a really difficult thing to process emotionally.”

Maynard and her husband, Dan Diaz, uprooted from Northern California and moved north because Oregon allows terminally ill patients to end their lives with lethal medications prescribed by a doctor.

Rather than silently await death in Portland, she has become an advocate for the group Compassion & Choices, which seeks to

Kitzhaber takes heat over fiancee’s contracts PORTLAND (AP) — A week before ballots begin arriving in voters’ mailboxes, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is taking heat over his fiancee’s work for organizations seeking to influence state policy.

A story in Willamette Week on Wednesday said that Cylvia Hayes has used her title as first lady and her role in advising the governor to advance her private consulting business.

The newspaper also said that Hayes has directed her statefunded assistant to make travel arrangements and put appointments on Hayes’ calendar for her private contracts.

Republican State Rep. Dennis Richardson, an underdog against Kitzhaber in the next month’s election, has seized on the story as he tries to make the case that Kitzhaber should be replaced.

“The latest scandal shows

“It just seemed like something I couldn’t turn my back on ethically,” Maynard said.

A nationwide media campaign featuring Maynard’s story began this week, and it has gone viral.

“It helps me to feel invested in something of worth, something that matters,” she said.

More than 750 people in Oregon used the law to die as of Dec. 31, 2013. The median GRANTS PASS (AP) — age of the deceased is 71.

once again that the state of Oregon is being run more like a mafia than a public entity,” Richardson campaign manager Charlie Pearce said in a statement. “The governor and first lady are not above the law.”

Hayes, who does not draw a state salary, has taken an active role in promoting initiatives to fight hunger and poverty and in developing the governor’s energy and environmental policy. Before Kitzhaber was elected governor, Hayes ran a consulting business that worked on issues of environmental sustainability and green energy.

She has earned her living through outside consulting work.

Kitzhaber maintained on Wednesday that Hayes did nothing wrong with her outside work.

“I think if Dennis wants to have a debate he ought to have the courage to have it with me, not a woman who

Rivers heal after dam removal It looked at insect life and riverbed geology before and after removal of Savage Rapids Dam on the Rogue and Brownsville Dam on the Calapooia.

The scientists found that the numbers and varieties of insects downstream of the dams recovered to levels elsewhere on the river within

Lead author Desiree Tullos, associate professor of biological engineering, says the findings are important in light of the growing number of aging dams being removed around the country.

E. Oregon man taken in manhunt SENECA — An eastern Oregon sheriff says his officers have arrested a man who had been the subject of a manhunt that disrupted the tiny town of Seneca.

Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer confirmed Wednesday evening that Shane Sanders had been taken into custody. The sheriff said the 41-year-old Sanders would be booked into the county jail for investigation of offenses including menacing and unlawful use of a weapon.

Earlier in the day, U.S. Highway 395 was closed on both sides of the town of 200 people, and the post office and school were closed while officers searched for the man. Area were reopened roads Wednesday afternoon.

Deputies began the search after shots were fired during a domestic disturbance at a cabin in town. Authorities said they did not believe he posed a threat to the public.

Timber still vital in county Continued from Page A1 line as it would with property taxes (which Sweet said the county can’t afford).

Those initial fee payments still won’t be enough to solve the county’s financial woes, Gurney said. Resolving the county’s timber problems is the only way to balance the budget, he said.

Sweet agreed timber is vital to Coos County, but “we’ve been kicking that horse regarding the O&C lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road lands for about 30 years and we really haven’t gotten very far with it.

“I’m not suggesting we quit working on it, but I am suggesting we need to develop other sources of

commerce, industry, jobs and tax base, because I don’t know if and when we will be successful in getting harvest quotas established on federal and state lands. The system seems to be working against us.”

The CEP revolves around enterprise zones, which Gurney said is the first thing he would get rid of if he’s elected.

“I don’t think in Coos County, since they’ve been in place, I have not seen a whole lot of jobs made,” he said. “Companies don’t come here because they’re competing against another company. They come here for the natural resources, the people, timber, ports, minerals, recreational opportunities.”

Sweet has been a vocal supporter of Jordan Cove. He also sits on the CEP work group and South Coast Community Foundation

zation happening, and it was great to hear how many people don’t want to see that happen.”

Grady said it will be interesting to see what decision the elected officials will make after hearing from the public.

For State Treasurer Ted Wheeler, having a chance to hear from the public was extremely helpful, he said.

“I think this pretty much typifies what I would expect from a really solid public forum,” Wheeler said.

A final report will be presented to the board Dec. 9 in Salem at its regular meeting.

board. But there are parts of the plan with which he doesn’t agree.

“I’m not willing to throw it out because I have a squabble over a percent or two going to the Waterfront Development Partnership (the waterfront and economic development arm of the CEP),” Sweet said.

Gurney, on the other hand, refuses to take a stance on the liquefied natural gas facility. He worries if his opinion was made public, future land use or other planning decisions would seem biased.

Both candidates agreed, though, that private industry makes jobs, not government.

A county commissioner’s role in this situation, Gurney said, is to lobby Salem to cut the red tape and regulations.

“We have too many regulations, too much red tape, too many layers of bureaucracy imposing limitations

grams and service learning projects all help our students succeed,” said Bandon schools superintendent Diane Buche.

Buche said the district’s small size helps students feel valued with a lot of one-on-one interaction.

“Though poverty can be an issue, our staff, from the bus drivers, to the lunch ladies, to the secretaries, to the maintenance and custodial staff, to the educational assistants, to the teachers, to the administrators, work diligently to provide a positive, productive learning environment for our students,” she said.

Last school year, Coos Bay’s alternative schools — Destinations Academy and Resource Link Charter School — had the highest student poverty rates on the South Coast: 95 percent. Lighthouse School and Oregon Coast Technology School in North Bend, on the other hand, had the lowest: 33 and 35 percent, respectively.

“These Model Schools show us that all of Oregon’s schools can experience incredible success,” Saxton said in a news release. “All students can learn and achieve at high levels, despite high poverty, high student mobility, and a range of other challenges. We can learn from these schools as we continue to improve our P-20 system to increase student

outcomes across the state.”

When the state identified the lowest-performing 15 percent of high-poverty schools two years ago, Reedsport’s Highland Elementary made the list. The state sent more support and intervention to these focus and priority schools to close the gap. Last school year, 64 percent of Highland students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.

Only a third passed math and less than 60 percent passed reading and science. The school remains on the list.

The class size debate continues as school districts try to balance classes with increasing enrollment but little room to expand. South Coast schools ranged from an average of 14 students in a Powers Elementary class to an average of 29 students in a Coquille Valley Intermediate class, according to the report.

The governor has touted his 4040-20 plan and directed state education agencies to plan and fund accordingly. It calls for a 100 percent high school graduation rate by 2025, with 40 percent going on to get a bachelor’s degree and 40 percent getting an associate degree.

But the South Coast has room to improve, with continuing education rates constantly lower than high school graduation rates. While 80 percent of Coquille high-schoolers graduated in 2011-12, only 69 percent went on to postsecondary education.

The Oregon State Land Board met Wednesday afternoon to allow for public comments regarding the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project.

Now, the forest has become a liability, costing the fund about $3 million in the fiscal year of 2013 because of Endangered litigation.

Species Act Projections show that revenues from the forest will be in steady decline in the following years.

The issue has been a controversial one.

For some, the management of the lands should be privatized and harvesting continued with revenues going to the school

fund, while others want to find other alternatives for financing the schools, keeping the forest preserved.

Although many who spoke at the meeting disagreed on how to manage the forest, the overall consensus was to keep the ownership of the forest public.

Erin Grady, a Eugene resident, said she was surprised of the number of people who opposed selling off the public lands.

“This was a really empowering meeting,” Grady said. “It showed how many people from all across the board oppose privatization.

Hong Kong government cancels talks with protesters

WORLD D I G E S T Airstrikes pound Islamic State group MURSITPINAR, Turkey (AP) — The U.S.-led coalition pounded positions of the Islamic State group in the Syrian border town of Kobani on Thursday in some of the most intensive strikes in the air campaign so far,a Kurdish official and an activist group said.

But despite the airstrikes overnight and into the morning, the Islamic State fighters managed to capture a police station in the east of the town, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The militants now control more than third of the strategic border town, added the Observatory, a group that tracks Syria’s civil war through a network of activists on the ground.

Unity cabinet to hold first Gaza session GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Members of the new Palestinian unity government assembled in Gaza on Thursday for their first Cabinet session in the warbattered territory — a largely symbolic meeting meant to mark the end of absolute Hamas control of the coastal strip.

The gathering, set for midday, comes three days ahead of an international pledging conference where Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will seek $4 billion for Gaza reconstruction following a 50-day war there this summer between Israel and Hamas. The war ended Aug. 26.

Several of the ministers arrived in the Gaza Strip after traveling from the West Bank on Thursday morning, including the new Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.

He spoke hopefully of a new era between the militant and Hamas movement Palestinian Abbas’s Authority.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s government on Thursday canceled talks with student leaders of a pro-democracy protest that has blocked streets in the city for nearly two weeks, with a senior official saying the discussions were unlikely to be constructive.

The talks, which had been scheduled for Friday, will not go ahead because they have been “seriously undermined” by remarks from the student leaders, said the official, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam. Her announcement came hours after student leaders called for supporters to redouble their efforts to occupy the main protest The Associated Press zone — a highway outside A protester holds an umbrella during a performance on a main road in the occupied areas outside governgovernment headquarters headquarters in Hong Kong's Admiralty in Hong Kong on Thursday. ment that they have dubbed “Umbrella Square.”

Poisoning alarms Venezuela racing CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — It sounds like a page-turning novel: Venezuelan authorities say a gambling ring poisons one of the country’s most popular race horses ahead of a key derby, nearly killing the animal and shining a light on an underworld where millions of dollars in bets are made under the table.

But the attack on 4-yearold Rio Negro as he prepared for the Army Day derby was real, and just the latest grim milestone in a wave of lawlessness and violence that has made Venezuela one of the world’s deadliest places.

The horse is still struggling to regain his strength after almost dying. There have been other cases of using poison to “sleep” a race horse in Venezuela, including three in the last year.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Two suicide bombers struck in Yemen on Thursday — one targeting a gathering of Shiite rebels in the country’s capital and the other hitting a military outpost in the south — in attacks that killed nearly 70 people, officials said.

The bombings underscored Yemen’s highly volatile situation following last month’s takeover of the capital, Sanaa, by the Shiite Houthi rebels whose blitz stunned the impoverished Arab nation on the southern corner of the Arabian Peninsula.

The Houthis’ push into Sanaa also prompted threats of retaliation from their Sunni militant foes in al-Qaida’s Yemen branch.

The Health Ministry said at least 47 people died and 75 were wounded when a suicide attacker set off his explosives on Thursday morning in central Sanaa.

The attacker targeted a gathering of Houthis and their supporters, mingling among the protesters as they were getting ready for the rally in the city’s landmark Tahrir Street before he detonated his explosives,according to security and health officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media.

Washington Lawmakers consider changes to Secret Service WASHINGTON (AP) — Key members of Congress are weighing dramatic changes to the embattled Secret Service, including moving it out of the Homeland Security Department and breaking up its mission.

The proposals come as lawmakers assess how to improve the agency after a series of scandals, including a White House break-in by a man with a knife last month.

The agency’s director, Julia Pierson, resigned amid the controversy, but lawmakers are promising they’ll continue their focus once Congress reconvenes after the Nov. 4 midterm elections.

In the latest development, The Washington Post reported Thursday on evidence implicating a White House advance team member in a prostitution scandal involv-

ing Secret Service agents in Colombia in 2012. White House officials have denied involvement by anyone on their team, but the Post story said White House officials were informed at the time.

One suggestion for improving operations at the Secret Service involves moving it back into the Treasury Department, where it resided for decades until the creation of the Homeland Security Department following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“Looking at the positioning of the agency, whether it should be in Treasury or be in Homeland Security, is one issue that must be taken up”as part of an independent review, said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which hosted

Pierson at a hearing last week prior to her resignation.

A top committee Republican, Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, said, “I haven’t heard anyone make a strong case that it really is working the right way” within Homeland Security.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson defended the current arrangement, telling Fox News Channel the Secret Service belongs in Homeland Security because the service includes a law enforcement and financial crimes component, as well as presidential protections. “I think that it makes a tremendous amount of sense,” he said.

But some current and former Secret Service agents trace the decline of morale and performance at the agency to its move into DHS, which they say shoehorned

the trim and well-functioning Secret Service into a snarled bureaucracy where it became management-heavy and had to compete for its budget with other law enforcement entities.

“The Secret Service was essentially allowed to run its business unencumbered, with lack of interference,” said Dan Emmett, a former agent at the Secret Service and author of a new book on the subject.

“Then this monstrosity of a department called DHS was created, and the Secret Service was unceremoniously The Associated Press ripped from Treasury where it Turkish riot police use water cannons and tear gas to disperse people had operated so efficiently.”

Tensions worry US in fight for Kobani

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even as it prods Turkey to step up in the global fight against Islamic State militants, the United States is worried that Ankara might use military action to target Kurdish fighters who are the last line of defense against extremists trying to take over the Syrian border town of Kobani.

In a careful-what-youwish-for scenario, U.S. officials acknowledge that drawing Ankara into the war could open a new line of attack against a Kurdish movement that has for decades sought greater autonomy inside Turkey.

At the same time, Americans officials fear Turkey could simply choose to remain out of the fray,and let two of its enemies — the Islamic State group and Kurdish guerrillas — fight for Kobani. That would give the militants an opportunity to do as much damage to the Kurdish fighters in Syria as possible.

Neither scenario is agreeable, the officials said. The issues and implications are expected to be broached — delicately — when U.S. envoys coordinating the international response to the Islamic State group meet Thursday and

Friday with Turkish leaders in Ankara. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the diplomatic situation by name.

For months, Turkey resisted using force against the Islamic State, which has rampaged through large amounts of territory just over its borders in Iraq and Syria. Until recently, its reluctance had been mostly excused out of security concerns for dozens of Turkish diplomats and employees who were kidnapped by the militants from the Iraqi city Mosul in June. The hostages were freed last month.

Since then, American officials have grown increasingly frustrated by Ankara’s inaction against the Islamic militants, yet simultaneously nervous about what a Turkish military response would mean for the Kurdish fighters at Kobani.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Thursday that Turkey is prepared to take on a bigger role once a deal is reached with coalition. the U.S.-led “Turkey will not hold back from carrying out its role,” he said.

South Umpqua at North Bend Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: K-Light (98.7 FM) Outlook: The Bulldogs host the Lancers for homecoming, with big playoff implications at stake. The winner will be, at worst tied for first with two games to go. Both teams already have wins over Siuslaw and have games coming up against Marshfield (South Umpqua next week and North Bend in two weeks). South Umpqua will need to slow North Bend’s explosive offense and break through against a Bulldog defense giving up just over 12 points a contest. The game is just one part of a big evening at North Bend that starts with the annual hall of fame induction ceremony and also will include the presentation of the homecoming court and crowning of the queen during halftime.

Siuslaw at Marshfield Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KMHS (91.3 FM) Outlook: After blowout wins over BrookingsHarbor and Douglas, the Pirates face their first big challenge of the league season in a game that is critical for Siuslaw’s playoff hopes. With a win, Marshfield would clinch a spot in at least the Class 4A play-in round, while Siuslaw is facing the possibility of missing the postseason for the first time in years. Things get much easier for Siuslaw after Friday — with games against Brookings-Harbor and Douglas — while Marshfield still has to face both South Umpqua and North Bend. To continue its unbeaten run in league, Marshfield needs a strong defensive effort against the Vikings and their potent veer attack.

Brookings-Harbor at Douglas Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KURY (95.3 FM) Outlook: The Bruins and Trojans fight to stay out of the Far West League cellar. The winner will get a little momentum for the rest of the season, when both will be trying to play spoilers against the league’s playoff contenders.

Creswell opened league play with a win over La Pine last week, but only scored 14 points all season before breaking out for 25 against the Hawks. It’s worth noting that Creswell’s four nonleague opponents have a combined 18-2 record to date.

Reedsport struggled with its tackling last week, something that will have to change against the unbeaten Panthers. Gold Beach, meanwhile, would put itself in great shape for one of the league’s three playoff spots with a victory.

SWOCC’s Sophonie Graham battles against a Clackamas player while bringing the ball downfield Wednesday afternoon during their match on the Southwestern Oregon Community College pitch.

Cougars tip Lakers on late goal

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — The Southwestern Oregon Community College Women’s soccer team played 84 and a half minutes of shutdown defense before a Clackamas thigh delivered heartbreak Wednesday.

The Lakers gave up a goal with 5:31 remaining in regular time as an errant cross ricocheted off Clackamas player Courtney Miller’s quadriceps and past Laker goalie Taylor Baughman’s mitts for a 1-0 lead and eventual win for the Cougars.

“We pushed up and ...” Bailey Sadie said before stopping to let out a deflated, exasperated exhale.

“It’s frustrating, but I think we picked it up at the end and really wanted it.”

To counter, the Lakers offense showed urgency in the final five minutes. Gidget Gonzales found a head of steam and skied a ball over the net well outside the box about a minute after the goal.

Shasteena Adkisson came back with 2:30 left from outside the box again, this time at a left angle, and sailed it.

“We played good, but we just didn’t finish,” SWOCC head coach

Allan Ledesma said after the game. “We need to score to win.

It’s tough when you play good More online: and at the last See the gallery at minute they theworldlink.com. score.

“We had a chance to win, but it was whoever scored first. It was one of those kind of games.”

After the game, Laker defender Sabreena Trenton explained that the game-clinching goal came from the defense not getting back far enough, allowing Miller to leak out from behind, getting wide open while staying onside for Mackenzie Kearney’s cross.

Trenton and Brittney Miller are stepping up for four Laker defenders — Sophonie Graham, Geraldine Graham, Keanna Hawk and Ali Ortiz — who are hampered with injuries. Miller moved from left fullback to sweeper and did a great job disrupting Cougar shots, Ledesma said. Trenton went from center midfielder back to defense and she said the chance to watch more of the field from further back helped her see the game better,

and in turn, communicate more effectively.

What Renton saw from her offense was everyone being a tad frantic and holding the ball a little too long. She wants quicker shots and less hesitation.

“If we just calm down a little more when up in the attack, we would’ve probably would’ve have scored or at least had more opportunities,” she said.

“We had shots and we’d take one or two extra touches and the opportunity lost itself.”

The Lakers only managed three shots on goal against Clackamas, two from Josie Child and one from Karson Bryant.

SWOCC donned pink uniforms Wednesday to help raise awareness for breast cancer.

Lakers goalie Baughman had six saves on the day.

The loss saddles SWOCC with a 1-8-2 record in league, placing the Lakers at the cellar of the South Division, just behind Clackamas (2-8-1). Despite being in last place, SWOCC is still not mathematically eliminated from the postseason.

Next up for the Lakers in South Division leader Lane Community College in Eugene on Saturday at noon.

Timbers shut out Earthquakes PORTLAND (AP) — Facing a possible trap game, the Portland Timbers kept their focus and moved back into the final playoff position.

Diego Valeri scored twice and Donovan Ricketts had his fifth shutout of the season to help the Timbers beat the short-handed San Jose Earthquakes 3-0 on Wednesday night.

“Sometimes, these are games where you let your guard down.

Teams don’t get out of this game with the result they should,” Portland coach Caleb Porter said.

“So I think it just says a lot about our hunger, our focus. We weren’t going to let that happen.”

Portland (11-9-12) moved two points ahead of Vancouver for the fifth and final playoff position in the Western Conference. The Timbers have two games left and the Whitecaps have three.

Rodney Wallace opened the scoring in the 41st minute, taking a pass from Darlington Nagbe and blasting a 10-yard shot past goalkeeper Jon Busch.

Valeri converted a penalty kick early in the second half for his 10th goal. Portland was awarded the kick when Wallace was fouled in the penalty area. Valeri capped the scoring in the 74th minute, knocking in the rebound after Busch stopped Wallace’s shot.

The Associated Press

Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri leaps in celebration after he scored his second goal during the Timbers’ win over San Jose on Wednesday at Providence Park.

The Earthquakes were missing a number of key players, including captain and leading goal scorer Chris Wondolowski, Victor Bernardez, Cordell Cato and Atiba Harris, all of whom were away on international duty. Coupled with injuries to others, the Earthquakes fielded a number of fringe players and could only name four substitutes to the bench.

“It’s a tough spot to be in.

When you lose 3-nil, it’s tough to pick positives out,” San Jose head

coach Mark Watson said. “But our guys kept going until the end.

They didn’t stop fighting and that’s a good quality.”

Adam Jahn had San Jose’s best chance in the 85th minute, but his shot hit the crossbar. Other than that opportunity, Portland’s goalkeeper Ricketts had a very quiet night, not needing to make a single save in the game.

Portland also beat San Jose (614-11) 2-1 on Saturday in California.

North Bend Hall induction is Friday THE WORLD North Bend’s hall of fame class for this year is a mixed bag — the player who led the school to its first championship in a girls team sport, a technological innovator, one of the most famous names in the community, a baseball player good enough to be drafted and a renowned swimming instructor and coach.

The group will be inducted into the hall of fame Friday night before North Bend’s football game with South Umpqua.

Because of the number of friends and family members of the inductees planning to attend, the

ceremony was moved to the high school gymnasium. A social time begins at 5 p.m., with the induction ceremony starting at 5:30.

There is no admission for the hall of fame festivities, though people who want to go next door for the homecoming football game will have to play the regular admission for that event — $5 for adults and $3 for students.

Two of this year’s inductees are no longer alive, but both held significant roles in the community for many years.

Dr. Ennis Keizer, who graduated in 1926, was president of the Knights Booster Club and active in the school’s drama productions.

After medical school, he returned to North Bend and worked at Keizer Hospital with his father, Dennis, later succeeding his father as manager of the facility. He also was the founder of North Bend Medical Center and practiced medicine for more than 50 years, continuing to care for nursing home patients after retiring from his general practice at 76 years old.

He also was active in civic groups in the community and was chosen Citizen of the Year by the Coos Bay/North Bend Rotary Club in 1983 and North Bend Citizen of the Year in 1988.

I have a couple of regular readers who have me on speed dial, which isn’t a bad thing.

One lives in the Bay Area and calls frequently for TV listings for various events. He’s probably the primary reason I try to make sure to list the various golf tournaments, but his interest spans many different sports.

The second lives in Brookings and calls me with tips for stories.

But this week, his phone message wasn’t a cheery one. He went on a several-minute rant complaining about how the baseball playoffs were split among several networks including two — Fox Sports 1 and the Major League Baseball Network — that he doesn’t get in his home.

I don’t share his problem because my TV package includes both of those networks.

Don’t get me started on the Pac-12 Network, which left me listening to the Beavers against SPORTS Colorado on Saturday since it’s only available on Dish Network, which has enough problems of its own that I won’t subscribe. But I digress …

The voiceJOHN mail from the G UNTHER fellow in Brookings made me wonder how baseball got to this point, where so few of the playoff games are available on network TV. Take the National League Championship Series.

I’m not going to go out of my way to watch the Giants play the Cardinals because I’m not terribly fond of either team. But the first game of the series Saturday is on Fox following Oregon’s game against UCLA (no Pac-12 Network for the Ducks this week).

For the rest of the series, though, every game is on Fox Sports 1 but the game next Saturday (if the series is still going then).

At least two of the NLCS games will be on Fox. The entire American League Championship Series is on TBS, like Fox Sports 1 a channel that is not in the basic packages for a lot of providers.

It used to be all the games when we got this deep into the playoffs were on the networks. But then, the demand probably isn’t as high now as it was in the past.

From a television standpoint, baseball doesn’t stand a chance when it is up against the NFL, which is king of the sports TV world now. Fox also must feel it isn’t as valuable as the network’s other programming. It probably also is trying to grow the brand of Fox Sports 1, but that doesn’t help the viewers who don’t get that channel.

I have two bigger problems with the baseball playoffs than channel selection.

One is that they run too late into the fall.

Baseball was more than happy to expand its postseason a few years back, but didn’t do anything to push up the schedule. In my book, there shouldn’t even be the possibility of cold weather games for the World Series.

My solution, though I’m sure the players would resoundly oppose it, is for every team to have to play eight scheduled doubleheaders during the year (in addition to whichever ones they get from rainouts). They would have four twin bills at home and four on the road, and all eight would be set up so one ticket got fans into both games (a little good will toward fans would go a long way). That could shorten the season by a week while still keeping the 162-game schedule that baseball desires.

Second, I think it’s wrong that all the World Series games are played in prime time.

In the eastern part of the country, the World Series schedule means younger children can’t watch the entire games except on the weekends. Shouldn’t baseball cater to the kids who are the future fans, so that they do, indeed, become fans?

Put the weekend games in daytime, on network TV. That would make at least one fan I know of happier.

Sports Butler, Gordon enjoy Royals’ playoff run

The Associated Press

Kolten Wong celebrates as he hits a two-run home run during Game 3 of the NL Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.

Cardinals thrive with home-grown talent

BY RONALD BLUM The Associated Press Matt Carpenter, whose bases-loaded double off Clayton Kershaw propelled St. Louis to victory in its NL Division Series opener, was a 13th-round draft pick signed for $1,000 five years ago.

Kolton Wong, who hit the tiebreaking, two-run homer for the Cardinals in Game 3 against the Dodgers, was a first-round selection in 2011 with a $1.3 million signing bonus.

And Matt Adams, whose three-run homer in Game 4 on Tuesday put St. Louis in the NL Championship Series for the fourth straight year, cost just $25,000 to sign when the Cardinals drafted him in the 23rd round in 2009 — the 699th pick overall.

Building largely from

within in the free-agent era, St. Louis topped the 10 postseason teams with 17 homegrown players on its 25-man division-series roster, according to STATS. The total cost of those initial contracts: $13,082,500.

That’s just more than half the $23 million the Los Angeles Angels are paying Albert Pujols, the three-time NL MVP who left the Cardinals after the 2011 World Series title for the riches of southern California.

“That’s something we as an organization take a lot of pride in,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, “when you see how many of these kids came up through and are contributing, not just making it here, but thriving at this level and helping us to be able to walk in there and pop champagne.”

Among the postseason

teams, Kansas City is second with 13 homegrown players, followed by San Francisco (12), the Angels (11), Washington and the Dodgers (10 each), Pittsburgh (nine), Baltimore and Detroit (seven each) and Oakland (one) — pitcher Sean Doolittle.

While baseball’s biggest spenders already are home, the final four teams rank sixth in payroll (San Francisco), 11th (St. Louis), 14th (Baltimore) and 19th (Kansas City).

Baseball’s collective bargaining system rewards teams that made good scouting decisions on young players, whose salaries are a fraction of what veteran stars earn.

“We have to use our farm system, obviously, in a variety of ways, not only to transition championship players to the major leagues, but we have to use it to acquire tal-

ent,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said.

A swap brought Kansas City ace James Shields, who will start the ALCS opener against the Orioles. The Royals paid a hefty price, sending Wil Myers to Tampa in the 2012 offseason — Myers was last year’s AL Rookie of the Year.

Like the Cardinals, Kansas City had three homegrown players drive in the go-ahead runs in the Division Series — all former high firstround draft picks who have all struggled to live up to their hype: Mike Moustakas ($4 million as second overall in 2007), Eric Hosmer ($6 million as third overall in 2008) and Alex Gordon ($4 million as second overall in 2005).

Ten of Kansas City’s players were acquired in the June draft of high school and college players who reside in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, and three were signed as amateur free agents.

Fifteen Cardinals were obtained in the June draft and two as amateur free agents.

Five more were acquired in trades and just three signed as major league free agents: shortstop Jhonny Peralta and pitchers Randy Choate and Pat Neshek. And while Peralta was given a $53 million, fouryear contract last offseason, Choate is in the middle of a $7.5 million, three-year deal.

Neshek signed a minor league contract just before spring training, earned a $1 million salary after making the big league team and became a first-time All-Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — They endured it together, Billy Butler and Alex Gordon.

All those years with 90 losses, the managerial changes and youth movements and empty seats come late September.

Empty seats in July and August, too.

They were supposed to be the two players who led the Kansas City Royals back to the playoffs. Butler was the standout high school prospect who couldn’t run well and struggled with his glove, but my, how he could hit. And Gordon was the best player in college baseball when the Royals plucked him out of Nebraska, a sure-fire All-Star one day.

Well, that day has finally arrived. After seven years of building and rebuilding, Butler and Gordon are reveling in the Royals’ first postseason appearance since 1985.

“For the fans, 30 years without feels like a lifetime.

It’s an eternity to me,” Butler said. “Kansas City deserves everything they’re getting and we want to give it to them.”

The Royals open the bestof-seven AL Championship Series on Friday night in Baltimore having already given thousands of fans plenty of postseason thrills.

There was the 12-inning walk-off win over Oakland in the wild-card game at Kauffman Stadium. There was the pair of 11-inning wins against the Angels in Los Angeles. And there was the clinching game back in Kansas City, an 8-3 romp that kicked off a citywide party.

Butler and Gordon have been gleefully in the midst of it all.

“This is personal for us,” Butler said. “It started all the way back when we got drafted. That’s what they envisioned when they drafted us.

Going through some bad times, I’ve been with this team for 10 years, building toward this.”

It’s been a challenging road filled with pitfalls and potholes, and more than once it looked as though neither Butler nor Gordon would see the fruits of their labor.

Butler established himself as a solid hitter early in his career, but his limited ability on the base paths and in the field hampered his value.

Butler finally made an AllStar game in 2012, when it was played in Kansas City, but the past couple of seasons have been a struggle.

He was hitting just .235 in late-May, a disaster by his lofty standards. And late in the season, Butler found himself sitting on the bench for critical games in a pen-

nant chase.

Of course, he would rise to the occasion when the postseason rolled around.

Butler had a pair of hits in the victory over the A’s. And while he went 0 for 9 against the Angels, he managed three walks and even stole a base, his first in two years.

“We’ve believed in Billy all along,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

The same could be said of Gordon, the second overall pick in the 2005 draft — one year after Butler went in the first round. He was rushed to the majors two years later as the heir to George Brett at third base and soon fizzled out, spending the next couple years vacillating between the majors and minors while trying out a variety of positions.

He finally stuck when he landed in left field, and in 2011 hit .303 and earned the first of three consecutive gold gloves. He made his first AllStar game last year, and his second this season, when he hit .266 with 19 homers and again played a masterful left field.

Gordon atoned for a 0for-5 performance against Oakland by beating up the Angels, going 3 for 10 with a pair of doubles and scoring twice. It was his basesloaded double in the first inning of Game 3 on Sunday night that spurred the Royals to the series clincher.

“Gordo, hands-down leader of this ballclub,” third baseman Mike Moustakas said. “For him to go out there in a huge situation like that, after we’re down one, drive in three runs, it just gave us so much confidence going into the rest of that game.”

Gordon has slowly evolved into the face of the franchise, yet he’s a reluctant star who speaks quietly but carries a big stick. He rarely gets too excitable, nor does he ever get too down. And when he is asked about his personal performance this postseason, he quickly defers the credit to general manager Dayton Moore for sticking with him all these years.

“Dayton has done a great job molding this team to where it is now,” Gordon said.

“He really got the right pieces in through the draft and through the trade with James Shields and Wade Davis.

Things are really starting to come together. Give a lot of credit to Dayton.”

Give a lot of credit to Butler and Gordon, too.

“We’re about now,” Gordon said. “It’s been a struggle, but we’re here now.

It doesn’t matter who does it as long as someone does it and we get the win.”

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett delivers during the first inning of a July 22 baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Beckett, facing surgery for a torn labrum in his left hip that caused him to miss most of the last three months of the season, has retired at 34.

Beckett retires after injury LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett, facing surgery for a torn labrum in his left hip that caused him to miss most of the last three months of the season, has retired at 34, ending a 14-year career that included two World Series championships.

He threw a no-hitter in May, but landed on the disabled list for the third time in early August with a left hip impingement after being on the DL in July for the same injury. He was 6-6 with a 2.88 ERA in 20 starts, includ-

ing the no-hitter May 25 at Philadelphia.

Beckett’s first time on the DL was in March, when he had a bruised right thumb.

He announced his decision to retire in St. Louis after the Dodgers were eliminated in the National League Division Series on Tuesday to according night, MLB.com.

Beckett will undergo hip surgery in May. He missed most of last season after having surgery to remove a rib near his neck

to alleviate thoracic outlet syndrome.

Beckett had a career record of 138-106 and a 3.88 ERA. He won the World Series with the Marlins in 2003 and Red Sox in 2007.

He came to the Dodgers from Boston in the 2012 blockbuster trade with Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto for James Loney and four minor leaguers.

Beckett would have been a free agent this winter, so his departure frees up $15.75 million in payroll.

Injuries force cyclist Andy Schleck to retire

Faced with a mangled knee, he said, “now I cannot stand up.”

With his older brother Frank, Andy put Luxembourg on the cycling map, as the two often combined efforts in France’s mountains to challenge the best riders over the toughest stages.

“We spent great time together on the bike... you know memories are forever.be proud,” Frank tweeted.

Over the past two years, though, Andy’s career went downhill through a series of mishaps. In the last preparatory event for the 2012 Tour, he crashed in the Dauphine race and injured his spine. He missed the race where he was among the top favorites and even had to skip the London Olympics.

This season, in a year marred by bad crashes throughout the peloton, Schleck did not escape misfortune. He collided with a spectator on the side of the road in London during the third stage of the Tour and had to withdraw. He hurt knee ligaments, cartilage and his meniscus.

By that time, he had had to abandon so many races that he became known as “Abandy” Schleck.

“There is nothing more we can do,” Schleck said.

Sports Owners approve sale of Buffalo Bills THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — NFL owners spent five hours discussing the league’s personal conduct policy, domestic violence and discipline for misbehavior during their fall meetings.

After approving the sale of the Buffalo Bills to Terry and Kim Pegula in the morning, the owners l i s te n e d to a presentation on domestic violence that included a video by a former player appealing for recognition and action.

In the powerful video, Joe Ehrmann, a defensive tackle for 10 pro seasons (1973-82), beseeches viewers to imagine what it would be like to see a loved one being subjected to abuse. He then urges intervention to curb such behavior. The video was part of a 40-minute presentation put together by the league with the help of a group of outside advisers. The goal is to educate everyone in the NFL about the dangers of spousal abuse, child abuse, sexual assault and other domestic violence topics.

Among the topics discussed was Commissioner Roger Goodell’s role in handing out discipline, and he reiterated that all options “are on the table.” He said the league has been discussing those options for more than a year, “debating whether there’s a better process, more efficient, fair.”

Sports Shorts

The Associated Press

The pit crew for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Danica Patrick works on her car along pit road during the Hollywood Casino 400 auto race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday. Tire issues hurt several drivers during the race.

Goodyear should shoulder tire blame

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It’s impossible to be perfect, to always get everything right and never fail at all.

To listen to Goodyear officials, the company never, ever comes up short at the race track.

It sure sounded like Goodyear thought it was off the hook on Sunday after a tire problem caused Dale Earnhardt Jr. to hit the wall while leading at Kansas Speedway. Then Brad Keselowski suffered a similar fate, and Kasey Kahne also thought an issue with his tires sent him into the wall.

It dropped all three drivers into the bottom of the Chase for the Sprint Cup standings, in serious jeopardy of elimination from the championship race in two weeks.

So what happened? Goodyear director of racing Greg Stucker didn’t have a definitive answer during Sunday’s race but sure seemed to be pointing the finger at the race teams.

“We’re trying to figure out exactly what the issue is with the teams.

Obviously, a race like this in the Chase, everybody is kind of up on the wheel and really pushing the envelope,” said Stucker, who hinted that “adjustments” made as the race progressed led to issues that didn’t exist during the first green-flag run.

Once again, we are led to believe this was not a Goodyear issue, but a problem with teams pushing the limits of their tires in an effort to capitalize in an important Chase race. Really? In a race where the risk was far greater than any expected reward?

Shame on Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske if they were so aggressive that their drivers are now in danger of not advancing to the third

round of the Chase. And poor Kevin Harvick, who took note of his rivals’ problems and feared he was next when his car suddenly struggled to turn as he was running third with a shot at the win. Harvick made an unscheduled pit stop — forfeiting any chance at victory — to get the tires off his car before they completely derailed his season.

Only he was wrong, the problem wasn’t with his tires, and his paranoia led to an unsatisfying 12th-place finish.

But, hey, Harvick got off easy. Kahne finished 22nd, Earnhardt was 39th and Keselowski 36th in a race won by teammate Joey Logano.

Drivers are very careful not to disparage Goodyear, NASCAR’s exclusive tire provider. Much ado was made earlier this season when Jimmie Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus sarcastically quipped on the team radio that tire problems at Bristol were surely “something we did. I’m sure it’s our fault.”

It forced Johnson into a meeting with Goodyear officials where the tire manufacturer and the driver privately agreed to disagree on the cause of his failure.

It put Johnson in no mood to be politically correct come New Hampshire in July, when two tire problems in the first 11 laps of the race ended his day.

“I’m expecting people to quickly point back at the team and say it’s our fault,” the six-time and defending NASCAR champion said that day.

Enough is finally enough. Yes, Goodyear must deal with repaved race tracks and changing rules, but it’s implausible to believe Goodyear is never to blame (the company did accept fault for the 2008 debacle at Indianapolis).

What’s closer to the truth is that Goodyear’s tire development, at times, is simply not acceptable for the top

motorsports series in the United States.

You’d be hard pressed to remember the last time a Firestone tire failed in an IndyCar race, and the drivers and teams consistently applaud the tiremaker for building strong compounds that everyone firmly believes to be safe.

But in NASCAR, a car slamming into a wall at 190 mph after a tire problem is a weekly occurrence that nobody seems to think is a problem. Why? Because Goodyear is the only player in the game and nobody wants to upset the apple cart.

The time to tip it over is overdue.

Everyone understands that Goodyear can’t be 100 percent infallible but it’s the manufacturer’s responsibility to get it right, for the sake of the show, the safety of the competitors and for the championship race currently underway.

Goodyear has zero competition in NASCAR and no rival tiremaker pushing them to be better. That’s on NASCAR, which is quite content with one official partner and has no problem protecting the tiremaker by generally agreeing that teams went too far when a tire fails.

It turned Sunday into what Keselowski described as a game of Russian roulette with the tires. The most dominant driver of the first round of the Chase said his Penske team did not have an aggressive setup, did not make inrace adjustments and simply blew a right front tire because “it was our turn at the gun.” Earnhardt was a little more transparent when he said the tread on his Goodyear simply “unwound like a string” until the tire popped.

The new Chase format that eliminates four drivers every three races exposes Goodyear to scrutiny like never before. One bad tire can wipe out an entire season, and Goodyear better hope it doesn’t happen in the season finale.

Drivers dedicate Formula One race to Bianchi SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Formula One drivers say they will race this weekend’s Russian Grand Prix for Jules Bianchi, who was seriously injured in an accident last week in Japan.

Still trying to cope with Bianchi’s accident, some of the leading drivers said Thursday they had to be professional and focus on the race, despite the “gray cloud”

over this weekend’s event in Sochi.

“All our thought are with Jules,” Ferrari driver and former champion Fernando Alonso said. “I have a huge respect for our sport but when big accidents happen, there are no words to describe the feeling.

Bianchi, who was part of Ferrari’s young drivers program, sustained a severe head injury Sunday when his Marussia car slid off the track in rainy conditions on the Suzuka circuit during the Japan Grand Prix and ploughed into a crane picking up the Sauber of Adrian Sutil, who had crashed out at the same spot one round ear-

Scientist criticizes NFL concussion settlement PHILADELPHIA — A scientist studying the brains of deceased athletes with head trauma criticized the proposed NFL concussion settlement, saying it would not compensate retirees who exhibit mood swings, aggression, depression or other aberrant behavior.

Boston University researcher Robert Stern said that many of the 76 deceased NFL players found to have the brain decay known as CTE would not have qualified for awards under the settlement. Some never developed the dementia, Alzheimer’s and neurological problems covered in the minimum $765 million settlement.

CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, can cause either cognitive or behavioral disorders, or both, according to Stern’s research, which includes interviews with the families of 33 deceased athletes. The behavioral issues included domestic violence, drug addiction, social isolation and suicide, Stern wrote in a court affidavit this week.

A federal judge in Philadelphia plans to weigh final objections to the settlement next month. However, the nearly 20,000 retired players eligible must decide whether to opt out by next week.

The French driver remains in a Japanese hospital in critical but stable condition.

Sutil, who witnessed Bianchi’s accident, would not get into details, calling it “shocking for everyone.”

“We have to pray, that’s all we can do. Although there is a gray cloud over us, we have to try to be professional and race for him,” Sutil said.

Green departs early

from Cincinnati practice

HALL Friday also is homecoming From Page B1 Kenneth Lyons was born in Moscow, Idaho, and served in the Merchant Marines during World War II, assigned to teach water safety survival. In 1962, he accepted the job as North Bend’s aquatics director, which included being in charge of the swimming lessons in North Bend, as well as coaching the high school teams. Under his guidance, both the high school and aquatics team succeeded in district and state competitions. His North Bend High School girls teams placed in the top 10 at state 12 times, including placing second in 1978. He coached seven individual state champions and was named State Coach of the Year by the Oregon State Swim Association in 1980.

The other three inductees remain active in their fields.

Douglas Schmidt, who graduated in 1983, was cocaptain of the basketball team

at North Bend and also active in numerous clubs, including being co-editor of the yearbook. After graduating, he served in the United States Air Force until 1992. That time included working for NATO forces during Operation Desert Storm and serving as a Air Force emergency action controller and survival specialist. He then studied engineering at Purdue University and later, while working for Delphi, was the lead engineer for the General Motors OnStar system that now is included in more than 30 million vehicles.

He and his wife, Anne, have four children and live in Kokomo, Ind. Jason Younker, who graduated in 1986, was a threesport star for North Bend in football, basketball and baseball. He earned 10 varsity letters, was a first-team all-league selection six times and was a first-team all-state pick in basketball. He was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 18th round after his senior year, but instead opted to attend Oregon State University, where he played baseball for the Beavers. He signed with the Boston Red Sox after his junior year and

later earned a bachelor’s degree in communication from Cameron University, a master’s degree in education from Oklahoma City University and master’s and doctorate degrees in anthropology from the University of Oregon. He was appointed to the State Advisory Committee for Historic Preservation, is president of the Association for Indigenous Anthropologists for the American Anthropological Association and is the University of Oregon’s first Assistant Vice President and Advisor to the President for Governmentto-Government Relations.

An active member of the Coquille Indian Tribe, he joins his father, Tom, and cousin, Brady Scott, in North Bend’s Hall of Fame.

Janee (Olds) Brumfield, who graduated in 2005, was named Class 3A player of the year as a senior after leading the Bulldogs to their first state title in any girls team sport. The point guard was a first-team all-league selection three times and an alltournament pick in the state tournament twice. She also helped North Bend’s cross

country team earn two district titles and place second at state her senior year. She played college basketball for Nazarene Northwest University, where she was Great Northwest Athletic Conference player of the week six times and ranks sixth in conference history for 3-pointers made and seventh for 3-point shooting percentage (43.8 percent). She is the head girls basketball coach for Homedale High School and lives with her husband, Dustin, in Nampa, Idaho.

Homecoming The hall of fame inductees also will be included in the spirit parade around the track before North Bend’s football game with South Umpqua.

During halftime, the king and queen will be crowned.

This year’s homecoming court includes freshmen Grady Hampel and Kelli Pettit; sophomores Trey Woods and Whitney Decker; juniors Colton Olson and Brianna Cole; and seniors Justin Barrett, Cam Lucero, Willie Mahr, Baylor Turnbow, Payton Smith, Karen LaGesse, Cassandra Thies and Sarah Wall.

CINCINNATI — Bengals receiver A.J. Green left practice during warmups on Wednesday after aggravating his injured right big toe.

Green has been bothered by the injury since the season opener. He missed most of a game against Atlanta the following week, but has played in the last two. He had five catches for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown during a 43-17 loss at New England on Sunday night.

Green was going through warmup drills at the start of practice when he stopped, removed his right shoe and threw it to the ground angrily.

He put the shoe back on and limped slightly as he walked to a cart and left practice.

Coach Marvin Lewis confirmed it was the same injury that has bothered him the last few weeks. He said the foot was being examined, but he had no further information.

The offense has been diminished the last few weeks because of injuries.

Tight end Tyler Eifert is out until at least midseason with an elbow injury. Receiver Marvin Jones broke a bone in his left foot during training camp and had a screw inserted. He rejoined practice last

week but injured an ankle and didn’t practice on Wednesday.

And now Green is in doubt for Sunday when the Bengals (3-1) host Carolina (3-2) in a matchup of division leaders.

GOLF Lewis grabs first-round lead in Malaysia tourney KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Top-ranked Stacy Lewis shot a 6-under 65 on Thursday to take a onestroke lead at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia, the second event of the tour’s six-tournament Asian swing.

Lewis birdied the par-5 16th hole to break away from a tight leaderboard at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Tied for second were the South Korean quartet of Na Yeon Choi, Hee Young Park, Eun Hee Ji and So Yeon Ryu. Golfers from South Korea have won six of the past seven LPGA tournaments.

Natalie Gulbis shot 69, Karrie Webb carded 70, and Lexi Thompson — who won by four strokes here last year — had a 71. Paula Creamer shot 75.

BASEBALL Rockies hire Bridich to be general manager DENVER — New Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich is a Harvard graduate who looks at baseball from more of an analytical angle.

He was promoted from within the organization after a fourth consecutive losing season and counts as his protege longtime GM Dan O’Dowd, who resigned after a mostly unsuccessful tenure.

A fresh start or more of the same? That was debate around the Mile High City soon after the Rockies announced their decision.

O’Dowd’s wasn’t exactly a rousing success, with his time at Coors Field reading like this: 15 years, four winning seasons, two postseason appearances, including a four-game World Series loss to Boston in 2007. He wasn’t the only team executive to resign. Senior vice president Bill Geivett followed him out the front office door.

OLYMPICS Norway skier gets prison time for drunken driving OSLO, Norway — Twotime Olympic cross-country skiing champion Petter Northug has been given a 50day prison sentence and fined 185,000 kroner ($30,000) for drunk driving.

The court in South Troendelag in western Norway also banned Northug, 28, from driving for life, which normally means a minimum of five years.

The Norwegian, who admitted to drunk driving after he crashed into a road barrier on a highway in May, told the court today that he accepted its ruling.

Northug said he deeply regretted driving his car under the influence of alcohol, but was grateful his poor judgment didn’t cause more harm. No one was seriously injured in the crash.

HORSE RACING Legendary horse Cigar dies following surgery LEXINGTON, Ky. — Cigar, the two-time Horse of the Year whose 16-race winning streak matched one of racing’s greatest achievements, has died. He was 24.

A release from Kentucky Horse Park said that Cigar died Tuesday night at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital from complications following surgery for severe osteoarthritis in his neck.

Cigar won 19 of 33 starts and earned nearly $10 million but was best known for his incredible run of wins that made him the first horse to tie the record set by the legendary Citation.

An allowance victory at Aqueduct in October 1994 began the Maryland-bred’s famed run that included 1995 wins in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, Hollywood Gold Cup and Pimlico Special. He was Horse of the Year in 1995 and 1996.

Cal, Arizona are surprise leaders in Pac-12 race DENVER (AP) — Surprise, Arizona is leading the Pac-12 South standings.

Even bigger surprise, California is on top in the North.

Raise your hand if you thought those two programs would be out front before the season began.

Sure, it’s still way early, but the Wildcats (5-0, 2-0), who went from unranked to No. 10 this week, and the Bears (4-1, 2-1) are on track to meet in the title game on Dec. 5, if they each take care of business.

Of course, that’s much easier said than accomplished in this unpredictable, anything-tends-to-happenincluding-Hail-Mary-passes conference.

“There’s so much parity in the league,” said Cal coach Sonny Dykes, whose team was picked to finish last in the North in a preseason media

poll, while the Wildcats were picked fourth in the South.

“Every Saturday is going to be an adventure.”

Especially last weekend for the Bears. Jared Goff threw for 527 yards and five touchdowns and yet Cal still had to hold on to beat Washington State, 60-59. That’s because Cougars QB Connor Halliday broke the NCAA passing record by throwing for a Madden video game-esque 734 yards and six scores.

Nothing comes easy in this quarterback-driven league.

“There are no gimmes,” Dykes said. “It’s such a tough league. It’s frustrating for everybody.”

Dykes can say that because his only conference loss was against Arizona last month — on a desperation heave where receiver Austin Hill brought down a 47-yard

pass in the back of the end zone.

That was one of a few successful Hail Mary passes around the league. The results have shaken up the conference standings.

USC could be at the top of the South had it not been for Arizona State receiver Jaelen Strong plucking a 46-yard TD pass out of the night sky for an improbable 38-34 win.

“Throughout the course of the season, there are going to be a lot of close games,” Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said.

In other words, don’t read too much into anything just yet, especially with all the upsets occurring all over the country.

“All the polls are nice for the fans, but they’re all going to be presumptuous,” Rodriguez said. “The powerfive conferences have so

much more parity than they’ve ever had. There’s so much more that’s going to happen over the next six or seven weeks.”

Still, it’s been a nice ride for Rodriguez this season, especially after being run out at Michigan after going 15-22 in three seasons. He doesn’t think he’s all that different of a coach now than he was when he was with the Wolverines.

The biggest change? Easy, Rodriguez has been given time and freedom to turn things around.

“People say, ‘Well, you weren’t the right fit at Michigan,”’ Rodriguez said.

“Sometimes, people see what they want to see. That, to me, is kind of silly.

“If you’ve got a plan and a program you want to put in place, and you’re allowed the time to install that and see it

through, then it will be the right fit.”

Rodriguez has been keeping tabs on what’s happening with Brady Hoke, the coach who replaced him at Michigan and has now fallen under scrutiny.

“We thought we fought through it all, and had we had a chance to see it through in the fourth or fifth year, thought we had a chance to compete for a championship,” Rodriguez said of his Michigan days. “Didn’t happen. Didn’t get to year four.

That was unfortunate.

“But we’re going to get to year four at Arizona.”

HAIL MARY, REVISTED: Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre’s father, George, a longtime college coach himself, was once beaten early in his career on a Hail Mary play. Mike MacIntyre said he never heard the end of it

growing up. That’s why the Buffaloes practice defending the desperation play at least twice a week.

“I feel like we’re pretty prepared for it,” MacIntyre said.

Then again, so did Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian.

“We hadn’t been a part of one in a long time.All of a sudden, two in two weeks,” said Sarkisian, whose team also caught one before the halftime gun against Oregon State.

NOTES AROUND THE PAC-12: MacIntyre was fined $10,000 by the league for his conduct toward officials following the Buffaloes’ loss to Oregon State on Saturday. ...

Stanford coach David Shaw wasn’t surprised to see Halliday throw for 734 yards.

“It was only a matter of time,” Shaw said, referring to the Cougars’ pass first and often offensive system.

Poll movers face tough challenges

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Last week, Arizona, Mississippi, Mississippi State and TCU gave the AP Top 25 an extreme makeover with huge victories. This week, the Wildcats, Rebels, Bulldogs and Horned Frogs try to validate all that attention and prove they are more than October shooting stars.

The Wildcats set a record for the largest leap into the Top 25, going from unranked to No. 10 after starting last w e e k ’s madness by upsetting Oregon.

Coach Rich Rodriguez’s team comes home Saturday to face Pac-12 South rival Southern California, which is coming off a brutal last-second loss.

Having a couple of extra days off wasn’t a bad thing for the Wildcats.

“They had to come back down to earth mentally,” Rodriguez said.

The Mississippi schools share the No. 3 ranking and now face what in many ways are tougher tasks than last week. The Bulldogs get ESPN “College GameDay” in their town as No. 2 Auburn comes to Starkville.

“They will be the best team we play so far,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said.

The Bulldogs have also made a record rise in the rankings. Mississippi State became the third team (SMU in 1947 and Georgia Tech in 1959) to reach No. 3 after just three weeks in the poll.

Ole Miss hits the road after beating Alabama for a date with No. 14 Texas A&M, which figures to be surly and hungry after taking a beating at Mississippi State last Saturday.

No. 9 TCU turned the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma, which lost to the Horned Frogs last week, and Texas into the undercard in the Lone Star state this week.

TCU visits No. 5 Baylor for the main event. It’ll be just the second time two top-10 teams will play in Waco, and first since 1956 — and that beats deep-fried sweet tea at the Texas State Fair.

Though if you want to indulge at the fair, and then head to Waco (about 95 miles from Dallas), that works, too.

Dallas back DeMarco Murray attempts to get past the tackle attempts by Houston’s Whitney Mercilus and Brian Cushing (56) during Sunday’s game.

Seattle defense will be tested by Murray RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For all the attention heaped on Seattle’s talented secondary, right now it’s the Seahawks’ ability to stop the run that’s standing out.

Seattle leads the league giving up just 62.3 yards per game on the ground and is the only team giving up less than 3 yards per rush. But that early success is about to get a major test facing DeMarco Murray when Dallas comes to town on Sunday.

“The whole group is functioning really well,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.

“We’re not doing a lot of special stuff.

We’re just trying to base really good base defense and good technique and play really solid ball there. I just think it’s a continuation a little bit. We’ll see how it goes. We’re just a few weeks into it.”

Some of the success is opponent driven. The Seahawks opened the season with the passing trio of Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning. But each of those teams also wanted to try to establish balance in their offense and couldn’t. Green Bay’s Eddie Lacy was held to 34 yards rushing. San Diego’s Ryan Mathews had just 31 and Denver’s Montee Ball was held to 38.

And last Monday against Washington, Alfred Morris was limited to 29 yards on 13 carries. It was the second-fewest yards rushing for Morris in his three seasons.

But Seattle has yet to see a running back on a roll like Murray is on to start the season. Murray is the first running back to rush for at least 100 yards in each of the first five games of the season since O.J. Simpson in 1975. He can become the first with six straight to start a season since Jim Brown in 1958 if he can solve Seattle’s front.

“I think Demarco has always been running at a high level,” Dallas quarterback Tony Romo said.“I think sometimes what you find in such a team-orientated league and once you get some complementary players who play at a pretty high level around you, you really get to see how good certain guys are.”

If Murray can reach the 100-yard mark, he’ll join a rare fraternity. Only five players have rushed for 100 yards in Seattle since the start of Carroll’s tenure in 2010: Jamaal Charles in 2010 (179 yards), Roy Helu in 2011 (108 yards), Adrian Peterson in 2012 (182 yards), Mike James in 2013 (158) and Colin Kaepernick (130 yards) in the 2013 playoffs.

“Keep him under 100. That’s the challenge,” linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “It’s a fun challenge though. I look forward to it. He’s a great running back and has been on a roll and I’m going to try and be the person to stop that.”

Dallas has committed to the run in a similar way as Seattle. The teams rank

Nos. 1 and 2 in yards rushing — Seattle at 167.3, Dallas at 160.0. The Cowboys are tied for the league lead in rushing attempts per game (32.6) while the Seahawks aren’t far behind at 30.8.

But Dallas’ run defense is giving up almost double what the Seahawks are allowing.

Last season, Seattle had the best overall defense in the NFL on the strength of its secondary. The Seahawks run defense slumped for a short stretch in the middle of the season but rebounded to be the seventh-best run defense in the league by the end of the year.

Whether Seattle could match what it did defensively last season was in question after defensive linemen Red Bryant and Chris Clemons were released during the offseason. Bryant was the big-bodied defensive tackle moved to defensive end to help hold the edge against the run, while Clemons had proven to be an every-down defensive end capable of rushing the passer and playing the run.

“That’s my best friend,” Seattle defensive tackle Brandon Mebane said of Bryant. “I definitely miss my best friend but I knew we still had talented guys on the defensive line, linebackers, secondary. Things like that in this business happen, but you’ve got to continue doing your job to keep your job.”

Colts can take control of AFC South race

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press The AFC South pretty much has been the province of the Colts and Texans in recent years. Even though Houston fell apart last season, it’s not a big surprise it has emerged as the only challenger to Indianapolis in the division this year.

Thursday night’s meeting in Houston will provide a litmus test for both teams.

Whether it offers a close contest is something entirely different, because previous midweek games in 2014 have resulted in routs.

Both teams are 3-2. Indy is a 2 1-2 point favorite over Houston.

“I mean it is early, but it is for first place so they’re going to be fighting tooth and nail just like we are for first place in the division,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “I’d rather be, come Thursday at whatever time it will be, 10:30, 11 o’clock, I’d rather be

Pro Picks

in first than any other place, and then move on from there.”

To take sole possession of the division lead and win their fourth in a row, the Colts need to protect Andrew Luck from J.J. Watt. Houston’s defensive end has been not only dynamic, but perhaps the best player in the NFL so far — on offense or defense.

Watt has sacked Luck four times in his career.

“You do have to keep an eye on where 99 is, he’s a stud,” Luck said. “I hesitate to say you build a whole game plan around him, and I know as a quarterback, you don’t ever want to get too locked in on what one guy on the defense is doing. I think that can get you out of rhythm, the offensive rhythm.

“But I know as a unit we have the utmost respect for him and what he does on the field.”

BRIDGE W.C. Fields said, “My illness is due to my doctor’s insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies.”

Hand strength is a fluid, not static, value. Look at the North hand and the start to the auction. What should North rebid over two diamonds, if anything?

A hand starts with a certain number of high-card points, but its value may decrease, remain constant or increase as the auction progresses.

The relevant factor in this deal is North’s short suit once the diamond fit becomes known.

At the table, North passed over two diamonds.That was much too cautious. North at the very least owed his partner a raise to three diamonds.

Then South, with a known nine-card fit, would probably have continued with four clubs as a game-try, highlighting his heart shortage. North would have raised to five clubs, and South would have retreated to five diamonds.

Maybe West would have started the defense with two rounds of trumps.

South would win, cash his two club winners and the spade ace (discarding a heart from the dummy), ruff a spade, cash the club king, and claim when the suit splits 3-3.

Instead, suppose West leads a low heart, East wins with his eight and returns a low heart. South ruffs, unblocks his two club honors, and leads a trump. With the favorable breaks, the contract cannot be touched.

Yes, South could easily face worse distribution, but even so, it is worth going for the game bonus.

Good Wednesday, Thursday & or Saturday depending on package.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Curtail your spending habits.

Putting some money into a longterm investment will lessen your temptation to overspend.You should also set up a reasonable budget and stick to it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Someone around you will not give a true assessment of a situation you face. Discreet inquiries will enable you to find out the truth. Don’t be too free with your personal information.

Keep your passport and personal papers up to date so that you will be ready to go at a moment’s notice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Keep your personal and professional lives separate. An emotional attachment to a co-worker is likely to cause mistrust and dissatisfaction among your other colleagues.

Keep your mind on the job, not on who’s watching you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Children will have a positive effect on your day. New relationships are possible if you participate in familyoriented events or activities. Get out and enjoy what your community has to offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Plan to do something that allows you to be introspective. Reading, writing or listening to music will help calm your nerves. Discussions will be less than satisfactory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you feel restless, check out local educational opportunities. For inspiration, consider learning a new language, doing some painting or taking part in a discussion group that offers cultural information.
