Reagan, Bush also acted alone to shield immigrants

The North Bend High School Interact Club hosted the annual Iron Chef competition Saturday at the Red Lion Hotel.

Chefs delight Bay Area fans

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s anticipated order that would shield millions of immigrants now living illegally in the U.S. from deportation is not without precedent.

Two of the last three Republican presidents — Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush — did the same thing in extending amnesty to family members who were not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986.

There was no political explosion then comparable to the one Republicans are threatening now.

A tea party-influenced GOP is poised to erupt if and when Obama follows through on his promise.

He wants to extend protection from deportation to millions of immigrant parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and expand his 2-year-old program that shields immigrants brought illegally to this country as children.

“The audacity of this president to think he can completely destroy the rule of law with the stroke of a pen is unfathomable to me,” said GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa, an outspoken opponent of relaxing U.S. immigration law. “It is unconstitutional, it is cynical, and it violates the will of the American people.”

Hopes and fears as health law signup season opens

BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The second sign-up season under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul opened, with hopes that this time consumers will have a positive experience. Obama says about a half-million people logged into the federal government’s website on Saturday, the first day of open enrollment.

But the fear is that entrenched political opposition and renewed legal challenges may yet collapse the program that’s bringing health care to millions of previously uninsured Americans. The administration can’t afford another technology meltdown.

With 7 million paying customers in new insurance markets, the Affordable Care Act has shown it is helping to reduce the number of uninsured.

Insurers, not known for altruism, have stuck with the fledgling program despite ongoing technical SEE HEALTH | A8

NORTH BEND — Cops and coffee are a great way to start off the morning.

Officers from the North Bend Police Department hosted Coffee with a Cop at Ciccarelli’s Coffee Shop on Friday morning, and North Bend residents strolled in from the rain to have a conversation and a cup of joe with the city’s finest.

Police Chief Robert Kappelman said the event provided an excellent opportunity for members of the community to talk with officers about issues and build relationships.

Kappelman said the majority of interactions between the public and law enforcement happens under emotionally charged situations, and Coffee with a Cop offered a friendlier interaction.

Jim Clayholt, a Charleston resident, said being able to speak with law enforcement in a relaxed environment makes a huge impact on the community.

“People get the chance to vent their grievances in areas they (normally) wouldn’t,” Clayholt said.

NEWS D I G E S T Gay marriage issue before high court WASHINGTON (AP) — A same-sex couple from Michigan is putting the question of the right to marry nationwide squarely before the Supreme Court.

The couple’s plea to be allowed to marry was being filed Monday. It asks the justices to hold that state laws prohibiting same-sex couples from getting married violate “our nation’s most cherished and essential guarantees.”

The appeal filed by hospital nurses April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse calls on the court to overturn an appeals court ruling that upheld anti-gay marriage laws in Kentucky, Michigan,Ohio and Tennessee.

Court denies plastics exec’s appeal of fines WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal from a New Jersey plastics industry executive who was ordered to pay $49.5 million for lying about his ownership of a music retailer’s stock.

The justices on Monday let stand a lower court ruling that ordered Alfred S. Teo to pay $17.4 million in disgorgement — repayment of unlawful gains — plus $14.6 million in prejudgment interest, and penalties of $17.4 million.

Teo served 2 1⁄2 years in prison after pleading guilty in June 2006 to three counts of insider trading in stock he owned in the now-defunct Musicland Stores Corp.

Tense turns in freeing US captives in Korea WASHINGTON (AP) — When U.S. spy chief James Clapper flew to North Korea on a mission to bring home two U.S. captives, he ran into a potential hitch. North Korean officials wanted a diplomatic concession of some sort in return for freeing the men and Clapper had none to offer.

“I think they were disappointed,” Clapper said, fleshing out details of the secret trip a week after its completion.

It was not until he was ushered into a hotel room for an “amnesty-granting ceremony” that he knew the release of Americans Kenneth Bae and Matthew Miller would proceed as planned.

All told, the trip unfolded more smoothly than his first foray into North Korean air space, aboard a U.S. helicopter in December 1985.

Frenchman thought among killers PARIS (AP) — A young Frenchman is believed to be among the killers on an Islamic State propaganda video showing a beheaded American aid worker and the deaths of more than a dozen Syrian soldiers, France’s top security official said Monday.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said there is a “strong presumption” that Maxime Hauchard is among the group of Islamic extremist fighters in the video released over the weekend. He urged young people in France to “open your eyes to the terrible reality” of the militant group.

Cazeneuve said authorities were analyzing the video and been investigating have Hauchard, who is around 22 years old and from west of Paris.The convert to Islam gave an interview to France’s BFM television in July, telling the network he had helped in the capture of Mosul, the Iraqi city whose fall eventually prompted the United States to resume military operations there.

Pope Francis confirms trip to the United States PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pope Francis is coming to the United States.

Francis confirmed Monday that he will travel to Philadelphia next September for the World Meeting of Families, a conference held every three years in a different city to celebrate the importance of family.

Francis’ announcement, at an interreligious Vatican conference on traditional family values, ended months of lobbying and speculation.

Tom Corbett and Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput, the conference’s organizer, met with Francis at the The Associated Press Vatican and personally invitthis photo provided by the Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano, Pope Francis speaks at the World Meeting In ed him to the city in March.

Nebraska hospital: Surgeon with Ebola has died OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A surgeon who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone died Monday while being treated in a biocontainment unit at a Nebraska hospital, the facility said.

Dr. Martin Salia died of the disease shortly after 4 a.m., Nebraska Medical Center spokesman Taylor Wilson said.

“Dr. Salia was extremely critical when he arrived here, and unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we weren’t able to save him,” said Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the biocontainment unit.

Salia, 44, had advanced symptoms when he arrived at the hospital Saturday, including kidney and respiratory failure, the hospital said in a statement. He was placed on dialysis, a ventilator and given several medications to support his organ systems.

Salia was given the experimental drug ZMapp on Saturday. He also received a plasma transfusion from an Ebola survivor — a treatment that is believed to provide

antibodies to fight the virus.

The first two Ebola patients to return to the U.S., Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, were treated with ZMapp in August. Their treatments exhausted that supply of ZMapp and Salia was treated using a new batch of the drug.

“We used every possible treatment available to give Dr. Salia every possible opportunity for survival,” Smith said. “As we have learned, early treatment with these patients is essenThe Associated Press tial. In Dr. Salia’s case, his This 2013 file photo, provided by disease was already United Brethren in Christ, shows extremely advanced by the Dr. Martin Salia. time he came here for treatment.”

Salia had been working as a general surgeon at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. It’s not clear whether he was involved in the care of Ebola patients.

Kissy is not an Ebola treatment unit, but Salia worked in at least three other facilities, United Methodist News said, citing health ministry sources.

Salia first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus.

He eventually tested positive on Nov. 10.

Salia graduated from the Pan African Academy of Christian Surgeons training program in 2008. A fellow medical missionary, Richard Toupin, of Auburn, Indiana, last week described his colleague as “one of the best-trained surgeons in his country.”

Bruce Steffes, executive director of PAACS, said Salia was free to practice anywhere he wanted, but that he elected to stay in Sierra Leone where the need for surgeons is immense.

Car bombings in Baghdad kill 14 people

BAGHDAD (AP) — A pair of car bombs targeted busy commercial areas in the Iraqi capital on Monday, killing at least 14 people and wounding 31, officials said.

In the first attack, a car detonated on a commercial street in the Meshtal neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, killing at least eight people and wounding 15, police officials said.

Prosecutors troubled by extent of military fraud tern of corruption that spans a broad cross section of the military.

In a period when the nation has spent freely to support wars on multiple fronts, prosecutors have found plentiful targets: defendants who bill for services they do not provide, those who steer lucrative contracts to select business partners and those who use bribes to game a vast military enterprise.

Despite numerous cases that have produced long prison sentences, the prob-

lems have continued abroad and at home with a frequency that law enforcement officials consider troubling.

“The schemes we see really run the gamut from relatively small bribes paid to somebody in Afghanistan to hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of contracts being steered in the direction of a favored company bribes,” paying who’s Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, said in an interview.

In the past few months alone, four retired and one active-duty Army National Guard officials were charged in a complex bribery and kickback scheme involving the awarding of contracts for marketing and promotional material, and a trucking company driver pleaded guilty to bribing military base employees in Georgia to obtain freight shipments — often weapons which required satellite tracking — to transport to the West Coast.

Israel to step up demolition of homes JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel said Monday it has sent notices to the families of several Palestinians in the West Bank implicated in attacks against Israelis to vacate their homes ahead of their impending demolitions.

The development indicated that Israel is intensifying its much maligned policy of punitive destructions of homes of suspected attackers.

The assaults the attackers are accused of involved deadly intent against civilians — ramming vehicles into commuters at Jerusalem light rail platforms, for example — rather than just throwing stones or Molotov cocktails at Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli military said that in recent weeks, an unspecified number of notices warning of impending house demolitions have been issued to Palestinian families in the West Bank, whose relatives had carried out the attacks.

The military said that families have 48 hours to petition against the notices.

Should they fail to do so — or should the petitions be rejected — the houses would become subject to immediate demolition.

Also Monday, the Israel Police said they designated several homes in east Jerusalem for destruction or sealing, but were awaiting final government approval before going ahead.

The demolitions are based on instructions from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who earlier this month said the home destruction policy would be implemented in response to a wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis in Jerusalem, mostly against the background of tensions over a disputed holy site in the city.

The policy was largely suspended in 2005, after security authorities questioned its efficacy, but many Israelis continue to back it.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police were now prepared to carry out house destructions or sealings in east Jerusalem “as soon as a final government decision is given.”

Japan slides into recession TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s economy unexpectedly slipped back into recession as housing and business investment dropped following a sales tax hike, hobbling its ability to help drive the global recovery.

The world’s third-largest economy contracted at a 1.6 percent annual pace in the July-September quarter, the government said Monday, confounding expectations that it would rebound after a big drop the quarter before.

The news cast a pall over financial markets: Japan’s share benchmark fell 3 percent, and many others in Asia also declined. Shares were lower in early trading in Europe and Dow Jones and S&P futures were off 0.5 percent, suggesting a dismal start for the week on Wall Street.

An economy is generally considered to be in recession when it shrinks for two consecutive quarters.

“GDP for July-September wasn’t good, unfortunately,” Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a political gathering in Tokyo shortly after his return to Japan from the Group of 20 leading economies in Brisbane, Australia.

The downturn deepens global uncertainty as growth slows in China and remains stubbornly flat in the 18country eurozone.

Japan’s weakness could hinder growth elsewhere if its companies cut investment and buy fewer imports such as machinery, electronics and raw materials. Though it is a small, island nation, Japan is one of the world’s biggest importers of food and the third-biggest buyer of natural gas.

The U.S. economy, which grew at a 3.5 percent pace last quarter, is outpacing most of the developed world.

If you want your vote to be counted, you’ll need to take action by Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown released a list of 13,000 people whose ballots have been challenged. Either the voter didn’t sign the envelope, or the signature on the ballot didn’t match the signature on file with the state elections department.

The list wasn’t published online, although anyone could request it, search our database at www.theworldlink.com.

If you find your name on the list, you’ll need to go to your county elections office before 5 p.m. Tuesday and sign your ballot or fill out a new voter registration card.

for him — a past president of the Eugene Delta Rotary club himself — Saturday’s event was all about showing his support.

The same went for Coos Bay resident Vera Yoshinaga, although she did discover a few things about food. ”The flavorful toasted nuts and cranberry sauce were amazing,” Yoshinaga said. “And the duck ... I didn’t even know I liked duck!”

Saturday’s event also featured a silent auction, with items like a one night stay at the Mill Casino combined with a Chinook salmon fishing trip. But it was Coos Bay resident Tom Foster, who won a “16-person high tea” and personal carving lesson with NBHS culinary teacher and chef Frank Murphy, who took the spotlight. Foster personally donated $500 during Murphy’s carving demonstration.

“It’s a nice way to give something so that more can be done for the kids,” said Foster, who serves as vice president of marketing for the Coos Bay Rail Link’s parent company ARG Transportation Services.

For Murphy, who shared his culinary and carving skills in front of the crowd, it’s about more than just teaching kids how to simmer, poach or make a roast or soup.

“It’s like playing with Legos. If you build up a foundation and then start building a wall, that wall is the dinner,” Murphy said.

“One of my goals is to get a few of my kids to go to culinary school, but if I can just get some kid to start enjoying cooking … that’s what matters.”

IMMIGRANTS

to the U.S. before 1982.

Spouses and children who could not meet that test did not qualify, which incited protests that the new law was breaking up families.

Early efforts in Congress to amend the law to cover family members failed. In 1987, Reagan’s Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner announced that minor children of parents granted amnesty by the law would get protection from deportation.

Spouses and children of couples in which one parent qualified for amnesty but the other did not remained subject to deportation, leading to efforts to amend the 1986 law.

In a parallel to today, the Senate acted in 1989 to broaden legal status to families but the House never took up the bill. Through the INS, Bush advanced a new “family fairness” policy that put in place the Senate measure. Congress

passed the policy into law by the end of the year as part of broader immigration legislation.

“It’s a striking parallel,” said Mark Noferi of the pro-immigration American Immigration Council. “Bush Sr. went big at the time. He protected about 40 percent of the unauthorized population.

Back then that was up to 1.5 million. Today that would be about 5 million.”

But a lawyer who worked on the 1986 law and the 1990 follow-up as an aide to then-Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., said Bush’s action wasn’t controversial because it came after lawmakers had made it clear they were going to tackle the issue.

That’s not the case now.

“Bush Sr. took the action that he did but it wasn’t as if Congress was legislating anything tothe contrary,” said Carl Hampe of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy. “What’s

different now is that there is no clear path to legislative relief for the class of beneficiaries for which the president’s order would provide relief.”

Obama’s announcement could come as early as this coming week and cover as many as 5 million people.

Like Bush, Obama is expected to extend deportation protections to families of U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

“It’s clear that it’s fully within his legal authority to issue these orders,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas. He said Republicans “didn’t raise any objections in the past when Republican presidents issued similar orders. This is pure political theater.” anticipated Obama’s action would not award legal status, but it would offer temporary protection from deportation and the possibility of obtaining a work permit.

“HealthCare.gov works really well now,” he said at a news conference in Brisbane, Australia, where he attended a global economic summit.

Yet, “Obamacare” is still struggling to win hearts and minds. The latest Associated Press-GfK poll finds that, if forced to choose between repealing the law and implementing it as written, 56 percent of Americans would

repeal it completely. Only 41 percent would carry it out.

However, most don’t see the law going away. Sixty-one percent said they expect it to be implemented in its current form, or something near that. and Human Health Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell, a management expert assigned to save what’s been a problem child of social programs, says she’s confi-

dent the sign-up season will be successful, even if it’s only half as long as last year’s: three months, through Feb. 15.

Will the law remain on the books after Republicans gain full control of Congress in January?

“The idea of repeal ... is not something this administration will let happen,” Burwell said.

What about the legal chal-

lenge the Supreme Court has just agreed to hear, calling into question the law’s tax credits that make premiums affordable for millions?

“Nothing has changed,” Burwell said, adding that the tax credits “will be continuing.” At least for the time being. The Supreme Court isn’t likely to hear the case until the spring, after 2015 open enrollment is over.

In the past, the fundraiser has helped subsidize service projects like creating Thanksgiving baskets for those at the Women’s Safety and Resource Center and presenting Christmas presents in the form of scarves and hats at Ocean Ridge Assisted Living.

At Saturday’s event, a sushi competition took place between Tokyo Bistro, Sumin’s and Momiji, with the latter taking top honors.

Losers: Obama and abortion ‌In addition to rescuing the Constitution from Barack Obama, there was another vitally essential issue addressed in the midterm elections. Last week, Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president, triumphantly explained: “As we witnessed Tuesday, in election after election, National Right to Life and its network of 50 state affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters helped provide the margin of victory for pro-life candidates” (“Polling Shows Impact of Abortion Issue in M id-Term Election,” nationalrighttolifenews.org, Nov. 6).

Fo r e x a m p l e , National Right to Life, which describes itself as working “through legislation and education to protect innoNat HENTOFF cent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and Columnist euthanasia,” summarizes the midterms as such: “Despite being vastly overspent by pro-abortion organizations such as Planned Parenthood and EMILY’s List, pro-life candidates won ... by significant margins.

There were 26 races in which a candidate supported by National Right to Life was running against a candidate supported by the pro-abortion (and pro-Obama) PAC EMILY’s List. Nineteen (73 percent) of the National Right to Life candidates won.”

Connecting abortion with the ending of “innocent human life” describes why pro-lifers throughout America have opposed Obama from even before he was elected president.

When he was a member of the Illinois Senate, Obama voted three times against versions of the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which did not pass until 2005. This legislation mandated that if a live baby fully emerged as a result of a failed abortion, its life would be saved.

I am convinced that disobeying that law is tantamount to infanticide, and I have been writing about it in this column and other publications over the past few years. As I reported in the Winter-Spring 2009 issue of Human Life Review about Obama’s unyielding support of abortion, including the high percentage of abortions among black women (“President Obama and ‘Black Genocide’”), I spoke with a registered nurse who worked in the Labor and Delivery Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, and had involuntarily taken part in a botched abortion.

Some of what she told me about these babies who were abandoned after “’live-birth’ abortions” also appeared in a September 2000 House Judiciary Committee report on the proposed Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2000 (Report 106-835, gpo.gov). (This bill was passed in 2002.)

But what was Obama’s reaction to Illinois’ Born-Alive Infant Protection Act? As I reported two years ago, the state senator “opposed what he called the view that ‘you have to keep alive even a pre-viable child’” (“Election Day: I’ll Not Vote for Pro-Death President,” Oct. 3, 2012).

Therefore, “the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act interfered with a woman’s reproductive rights.”

My reactions even appeared in a column on LifeNews.com: “Liberal Nat Hentoff: I’m Not Voting for the Abortion President” (Steven Ertelt, Oct. 3, 2012).

But it should be noted that I do not vote against all pro-choice candidates, to say the least. I have voted for those with whom I agree on First and Fourth Amendment matters and other constitutional rights. Yet I can’t imagine any of them having opposed the BornAlive Infant Protection Act and gone for infanticide.

So how did I become a pro-lifer, the most controversial position I have ever taken?

Just about all my conclusions about any issue have come from fact-based reporting. On this one, practically everyone I knew was pro-choice, but I became curious when more physicians — not pro-lifers, doctors — became involved in prenatal care. During my research, I read such standard texts as “The Unborn Patient: Prenatal Diagnosis and Treatment,” by Michael R. Harrison, Mitchell S. Globus and Roy A. Gilly (W.B. Saunders, a division of Reed Elsevier).

They wrote: “The concept that the fetus is a patient, an individual whose maladies are a proper subject for medical treatment as well as scientific observation, is alarmingly modern.

“Only now are we beginning to consider the fetus seriously, medically, legally and ethically.”

But in neither this nor other medical textbooks was God mentioned. And, hey, I even learned each fetus has DNA of its own!

Sadly, Obama has supported all abortions — however late or accidental.

Letters to the Editor Bible used to be part of U.S. ‌Some years back, the United States stood head and shoulders above the other nations of the world, as a nation devoted to liberty and freedom. Times change but God and his word do not. It was John Jay, a chief justice of the Supreme Court who wrote, “It is the duty ... of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” And not only did Congress, in 1782, approve the use of the Bible in our schools, they even paid for them with tax dollars. And in 1844, when someone sued to remove them, the Supreme Court ruled, “Why should not the Bible, and especially the New Testament, be read and taught as a divine revelation in the schools? Where can the purest principles and morality be learned so clearly as from the New Testament?”

It is possible for this nation to assume its former status if the principles which guided the early patriots become the new cornerstone of our beliefs and practices. Can we learn from past experiences and adopt a new reasoning based on the principles of the great men who led this nation from its infancy?

Cities need to doff blinders

‌ et’s think about someL one interested in moving to or starting a new business in North Bend/Coos Bay, and they are just driving into town from the south of Coos Bay. They just passed the old Bunker Hill school, and a couple blocks later, look up on the hill and see the very old dilapidated motel, then a few other ugly buildings, and they keep driving through town not seeing much in the north bound lane to impress them. Then they round the corner where

the new museum is being built on a dock and see a rusting piece of “art” made out of old railroad rails, a messy waterfront all the way. And another old, closed, fenced up motel north of the Red Lion.

By now they are thinking this area needs some cleaning up. They get to North Bend and drive down the back street, and farther north come back up to the main street and look on the left across from Ashworth’s grocery and see a very old, rundown (should be torn down) house.

By now they are thinking why would I want to move here where they can’t take the time to make the towns presentable to newcomers.

They don’t even know that North Bend is spending money on two areas off the main streets, called Lincoln Circle and Grant Square, and also spent money on a short boardwalk down by the water at the end of Virginia Street. They don’t see these places from the lanes they drive through town on.

So whoever complained about some barbed wire around the Coast Guard’s area must have blinders on through the rest of our area!

broken-hearted and traumatized for life. I have spent many nights grieving the unnecessary loss of my grandsons.

Their statement about the court system not reopening or exploring the situation is true and implorable! It seems these officials have blinders on, and grandparents are no longer important, yet it should be just the opposite! They are dealing with human lives. They need to pay attention, not just smile at DHS workers and tell you to have a nice day! Get real.

The Harris’ are correct in saying the child custody system is toxic to children. I’ve been told by a professional friend that DHS goes by a “rule book,” not real life situations.

DHS needs to wake up, look around at the obvious, and stop destroying and traumatizing children and their grandparents.

I urge others to speak up, speak out in support of others who this has happened to.

There are state reps and state ombudsman who need to listen and hear what’s going on. It’s not OK, the system is broken.

Every voice should count.

DHS: Stop hurting families

‌I have been watching the videos that are surfacing which feature the comments that Jonathan Gruber has been making about the American voter.

Mr. Gruber is described as the “architect of Obamacare.” He expresses the view that Obamacare only passed due to the “stupidity” of the American voter and a lack of “transparency.” He also holds the opinion that the average American is too stupid to make careful health care decisions on their own. Condescending? Boy, is he ever! Arrogant? Extremely.

An elitist? There’s no doubt he thinks he is one of the elite.

The elitist Nancy Pelosi

‌I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read Gary and Gail Harris’ letter to the editor! The letter would have been something I had written. I have had similar experiences with DHS. They are correct in saying that once DHS takes custody of grandchildren, they belong to them, by law. Regardless of the safe, loving, healthy home situation they have been in, DHS decides who, where, why the children will be placed, right or wrong. Loving and healthy family bonds are broken, leaving children and grandparents

Stupidity was in Congress

expressed herself well: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it,” If the outcome was not as obvious as the outcome of sticking your hand into a running garbage disposal to clean it, I don’t know how else to describe it.

Well, it was passed and we are starting to find out what’s in it. She was correct.

Jonathan Gruber is half correct. About half of the voters he tried to hoodwink and bamboozle into voting for it did. If you want to know who these voters were, check the Congressional Record to see who in the House and Senate passed Obamacare. Then you will know who the stupid American voters are that Gruber so disdainfully described.

This nation has just witnessed legislation by con-job.

Before any of the usual leftwing contributors to the Public Forum try to make the case that Gruber was speaking about you and me, the average American voter, think again. The only American voters who had any opportunity to vote to pass Obamacare are all in the House and Senate.

American workers deserve a raise ‌A merican workers need a raise, and there’s one simple way to boost incomes at the lower end of the pay scale: Increase the federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009.

It’s certainly correct that a growing economy is by far the best way to enhance incomes and living standards. But that precept ignores a troubling reality: Too many hardworking families are simply not benefitting from a recovery that’s now well into its fifth year.

Unemployment has fallen to 5.8 percent; the economy has added at least 200,000 jobs every month for nine straight months; the stock market setting records barely makes the news.

But real wages remain flat.

Economist Stu Hoffman of PNC Financial tells The Washington Post that wage growth “is one of the most important missing links” in the current recovery. William Galston of the Brookings Institution makes a similar point to the Associated Press: “People aren’t looking at the statistical aggregates. They care about their standard of

Cokie and Steven ROBERTS Columnists

living, and most Americans think their standard of living has declined.”

Raising the minimum wage is no magic answer for all that misery, but it clearly would help. According to the Pew Research Center, about 3.3 million hourly workers earn the current federal minimum wage, but another 20.6 million — nearly one out of three hourly workers — make less than $10.10 an hour, the standard proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats.

So 24 million workers would potentially benefit from the change, but they’d still be struggling. A full-time worker making $10.10 an hour earns

about $21,000 a year.

Of that group, about 54 percent are women, 76 percent are white and 40 percent are under 30. One in 5 lacks a high school diploma; a clear majority never attended college.

Yes, a higher minimum wage could negatively impact some industries, like food service and hospitality. But the overall benefit would be sizeable, for the economy in general as well as for individuals.

Moreover, raising the minimum wage is highly popular.

Earlier this year, Pew found that 73 percent of all Americans favored the idea. Half said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supports an increase, while only 19 percent said they’d be less likely to back such a candidate.

This preference was clearly demonstrated on Election Day when voters in four conservative states — Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota — strongly endorsed measures to raise state wage levels.

Republicans, who have generally opposed such proposals, reversed course and jumped on board.

In Arkansas, to take one

example, two prominent GOP candidates — Asa Hutchinson, who was running for governor, and Tom Cotton, the Senate nominee — saw the light in September and endorsed a ballot measure raising the state standard to $8.50 by 2017. Both won, succeeding Democrats.

Some economists are now predicting a small uptick in real wages as the labor market tightens, but the underlying causes of stagnation underscore the need for outside action. Many jobs have been outsourced overseas or made obsolete by technology. Fewer than 1 in 5 voters reports that a member of their household belongs to a union.

This year, Republicans benefited heavily from the mood of economic anxiety because voters blamed the president’s party for their problems. But now that Republicans will claim a bigger share of power in January, they risk shouldering a bigger share of blame for stagnant wages.

The smartest thing they could do — economically and politically — would be to join the Democrats and back a boost in the minimum wage.

While I’m happy she has f o u n d someone she wants to spend her life with, I Jeanne will not be Phillips there and neither will our child. I have told my husband this and explained my concerns, but I will support him if he decides to go since it’s his mother.

How can I turn her down in a polite way so it doesn’t sound like I’m a horrible daughter-in-law? — FIRSTTIME MAMA DEAR FIRST-TIME MAMA: Unless a woman is having a C-section, babies don’t always arrive on the expected due date.

Sometimes they can be a week late or more. If you feel you need time to rest, recuperate and get your child on a regular nursing schedule, tell that to your mother-in-law.

As a new mother you are going to have to quickly learn to prioritize, and your child’s well-being and your health must come first. Expect her to be disappointed, but make clear that you love her and wish her a lifetime of happiness, but you will be unable to attend.

DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for an older woman to wear fancy, colorful tights?

My wife is 5 feet tall and weighs 110. She’s in good health and works out at the gym regularly. She wears her tights there, or when she’s working in the garden or at the market.

She dresses conservatively for work and church.

I overheard some of the local ladies say she shouldn’t be wearing leopard tights “at her age.”

I’m afraid my wife will overhear it one of these days and be hurt. What is your opinion? She still looks wonderful to me. — MARRIED TO A HOTTIE DEAR MARRIED: As an adult and in good shape your wife should wear anything that pleases her, including leopard tights if she wishes. It appears the local women are more jealous kitties than ladies.

“Nice” ladies don’t make catty comments behind someone’s back.

DEAR ABBY: On Oct. 11 you printed my letter about feeling like an overlooked middle child.

In the comments on your website was an outpouring of support and friendly tips. I am happy to say I am now involved in extracurricular activities. I’m much happier, and would like to thank all your readers who took the time to give me so much support. —FORMERLY NOWHERE IN INDIANA DEAR FORMERLY NOWHERE: Thank you for letting us know that you’re happier and doing better.

Shane McKee, co-founder of Shango Premium Cannabis medical marijuana dispensary, pulls a sample from their display of cannabis flowers in Portland. Oregon cities scrambled to pass taxes on marijuana before a legalization measure went before voters. Their bet: That the taxes would get grandfathered in.

But Measure 91, passed by voters on Nov. 4, has a clause forbidding any taxation on marijuana except by the state.

Despite law, Oregon cities pass pot tax.

WHAT NOW? ‌PORTLAND (AP) — Cities scrambled to

pass taxes on marijuana before a legalization measure went before voters. Their bet: That the taxes would get grandfathered in. But

in the ballot measure) that the state tax would generate $20,000 to $25,000 a year for Ashland.

WEATHERBY: We have not.

WHAT HAPPENS IF

Measure 91, passed by voters on Nov. 4, has a THE MATTER GOES TO clause forbidding any taxation on marijuana COURT AS A LAWSUIT except by the state. Now, those cities say they BROUGHT BY A are prepared to defend their taxes in court.

Attorney Dave Kopilak helped draft the law and is studying the response.

Ashland City Manager Dave Kanner was one of the first to propose such a tax, which passed in Ashland this year.

Fairview Mayor Mike Weatherby was one of the supporters of his city’s 40 percent marijuana tax, which he says is intended to keep recreational pot dispensaries out of the city. Cities may opt out of hosting dispensaries, but Weatherby said the city is trying to “cover all of (its) bases.”

One thing they all agree on is that the Legislature, sooner or later, will likely have to step in.

Each took questions f ro m T h e A s s o c i a te d Press. Their answers have been edited for clarity and length.

IS THE TAX APPLICABLE UNDER THE LAW? KOPILAK: Somebody got it in their heads that if ordinances were adopted before Election Day, that there would be some sort o f g ra n d fa t h e r i n g i n .

That’s just not true.

The imposition of such taxes is inconsistent with the main themes of Measure 91, which is to minimize the illegal market.

If you have dozens and dozens of jurisdictions imposing all kinds of different taxes at different rates, it essentially makes any type of cohesive state policy impossible.

KANNER: When I first read the initiative language, it immediately seemed clear to me that

‌McMINNVILLE (AP) — A 20-year-old college student was killed in what police believe was a random stabbing at a convenience store, and officers said they shot and killed the suspect when he returned to the scene and menaced them with a knife.

Linfield College president Thomas Hellie identified the victim as Parker Moore, a Woodinville, Washington, native who was majoring in business management.

Moore also served as a resident adviser and played linebacker on the football team.

“We are all still in shock, but we know that it is important to speak to counselors, to support each other as we mourn, and to think about and pray for Parker’s family and friends,” Hellie wrote in a message on the school’s website. “We have lost a valued, important member of our community and all of us share in the grief.”

The stabbing happened just after 11 p.m. Saturday at a 7-Eleven near campus. It wasn’t clear what prompted the stabbing.

Yamhill County Sheriff’s Capt. Tim Svenson said investigators don’t believe the suspect and Moore knew each other or

the pre-emption language (prohibits) the adoption of a local tax in the future, but it does not repeal an existing tax. I realize that others may interpret it differently.

There’s another section of the initiative that repeals any city ordinance or charter provision in conflict with the measure. However, the measure taxes production of marijuana, and our tax is a gross-receipts tax on retail sales. Therefore, I do not believe it is in conflict with the measure.

Whether lawyers or the courts will agree with that, I don’t know.

WHAT WAS THE IMPETUS BEHIND THE TAX? KANNER: Ashland already has a food and beverage tax, so we had a template for a gross receipts tax on retail sales of marijuana.

By the end of Febru ary, members of the City Council were asking me if we shouldn’t be considering a tax.

WEATHERBY: The idea is to keep marijuana dispensaries out of Fairview.

Absolutely. We’re trying to cover all of our bases.

HAS THE CITY GENERATED A REVENUE ESTIMATE FOR THE TAX?

KANNER: Any numbers I could provide would be a wild guess. I’m showing $824,511 annually from a tax on recreational marijuana, but who knows? I estimate (based on Legislative Revenue Office projections and the formula

DISPENSARY?

KOPLIAK: The act allows local jurisdictions to opt out, so if you want to do that, then do that. But I would say, don’t do it this way. Do it the way the act intended. On the other hand, if the city or county is determined to see this through, unless the Legislature is willing to make a change, they won’t win in court. It will be spending tax dollars to defend a suit that’s unwinnable.

K A N N E R : T h a t wo u l d be a decision the Council will have to make if/ when there’s a legal challenge. Bear in mind that there are now, I believe, about 60 cities that have adopted marijuana taxes, so who knows whether a te s t c a s e c h a l l e n ge wo u l d b e i n A s h l a n d or elsewhere.

More troubling is the aforementioned provision that repeals existing ordinances and charter provisions that are in conflict with the measure. That’s a direct attack on cities’ constitutional home rule authority that, in my opinion, should be totally unacceptable to all cities, regardless of how they feel about marijuana and marijuana taxation.

I would hope that if the Legislature does not move to amend or remove that language, that cities and the League of Oregon Cities will band together to fight it.

WEATHERBY: It would be the same as challenging a gas tax or a city sales tax.

Attorneys differ on this, and it’s their opinions, just as doctors differ on their opinions. I think it would have to come down to what’s going to happen in the Legislature.

Police kill robbery suspect in Klamath Falls

‌KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — Authorities say a 27-yearold suspect in the robbery of a Klamath Falls business is dead following an exchange of gunfire with law officers.

The Klamath County District Attorney’s office says the shooting occurred after the Frontier Market was robbed on Sunday.

It says suspect Lenny Miles fled with cash, and was pursued by officers from the local police, the sheriff ’s office and the state police.

The office says gunfire was exchanged and Miles was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly before 10 p.m.

No officers were injured.

Miles had warrants out for his arrest that involved four separate cases, including assault, escape and meth possession.

Because three crime team agencies in the county were involved, the Jackson County Sheriff’s office is handling the investigation.

‌EUGENE (AP) — A pair of passersby helped rescue a Eugene man from a burning minivan that crashed on Friday with a load of ammunition inside.

The Eugene RegisterGuard reports Rick Wetzel and Josh Stevens happened upon the accident Friday afternoon, just before flames spread across the van.

The ammunition began heating up and discharging, sending rounds through the van. The man inside the burning van told Wetzel and Stevens it reminded him of his experience in the Vietnam War. He was pulled from the van with non-life-threatening injuries.

Wetzel and Stevens went back for the man’s black poodle, which suffered singed fur but survived. The van was engulfed in flames minutes later.

Moore, a sophomore, was flown to Oregon Health and Science University, where he died.

As investigators from the McMinnville Police Department were questioning a witness in the parking lot outside the store, the suspect returned and confronted officers with a knife, Svenson said.

“They were talking in the parking lot to a witness, and he pointed and said, ‘There he is right there!’”

Svenson said. “The officers commanded him to show his hands, and he presented a knife, and that’s what resulted in him being shot.”

Financial planners and other mysteries of life ‌I am noticing a growing trend in my mailbox — readers in search of financial planners or advisors.

Or assistants. The problem is that when taking in the message’s context it’s pretty clear that not everyone means Everyday t h e s a m e Cheapskate thing when they refer to a financial “planneradvisora s s i s ta n t helper.”

O n e r e a d e r wa n te d to Mary know where Hunt to find a “financial planner” who would just take her paycheck, pay all of her bills, invest for her retirement, give her an allowance, balance her checkbook and not charge her very much. (We’d all like one of those, right?)

Then, there are times when the context lets me know that a desperate reader looking for a “financial planner” really needs a reputable credit counseling organization that offers debt management.

And so, in an effort to clarify and perhaps educate, here’s the low-down on financial planners.

General. Anyone can call THE FAMILY CIRCUS himself or herself a financial planner. If you are ready to seek the services of a financial planner, and to avoid an amateur, you want one who has earned the special credentials of Chartered Financial Consultant or Certified Financial Planner.

These professionals make a comprehensive analysis of your entire financial life, identify your goals and then create an investment and insurance strategy to achieve those goals.

Generally, but not always, a professional financial planner will have minimum standards for new clients that have to do with net worth. Financial planners are not typically debt counselors. If you are deeply in debt, a financial planner is likely to tell you to come back once you are out of debt.

Planning means more than investing. Not all planners offer comprehensive services. Some give investment advice or focus on one aspect of planning like insurance or taxes. Estate planning is often offered by a credentialed financial planner or consultant and includes wills, trusts, tax planning, legacy and endof-life planning.

Fee-only financial planners are paid only for the advice they give.

Typically they charge by the hour ($200 to $250), like an attorney. They do not earn commissions by selling financial products to you such as life insurance and mutual funds. You can find fee-only planners at NAPFA. org or call 800 366-2732.

Fee-based planners earn fees plus commissions. Like a fee-only planner, you pay for the advice and financial plan. The planner also earns commissions if you purchase products recommended in the plan.

A financial planner will want to see a consistent positive cash flow. Until you have achieved that level, there are other services that MODERATELY CONFUSED can help you.

Credit counseling. If you are in a credit card mess and unable to keep up with even your minimum monthly payments, credit counseling may be the answer.

A qualified counseling organization will be able to go to your creditors on your behalf to create a payment plan you can afford. You will receive education to make sure when you are out of debt you do not return and there will be a nominal fee.

Debt-management program. This will be offered to you in conjunction with credit counseling. If you enter a DPM, you will write one check each month for all of your credit card debt and the payments will be sent to your creditors accordingly.

SWOCC reaches tourney

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

The Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team is heading to the NWAC tournament after beating Mount Hood in a South Region tiebreaker match Sunday.

The Lakers topped the Saints 21-25, 25-19, 25-11, 25-20 to nab the final spot in the tournament, which starts Thursday at Tacoma, Wash.

“I’m so excited,” said SWOCC coach Stephanie Willett. “It’s our first time going to NWACs since 2008. Since the beginning of the season, that was our ultimate goal.”

SWOCC will face tournament host Tacoma, the West Region champion, at 11:30 a.m. Thursday in the first round of the doubleelimination tournament at the Tacoma Convention Center.

The Lakers got 11 kills from Gabby White, 10 each from Hayley Sturgeon and Nikki Rafay and nine from Tori Foutz.

Christine Wing had 38 assists, while Alyssa Sprague and Brea Mosieur combined for 31 digs.

The Lakers won with a great team effort.

“We limited our hitting errors a lot from the previous games,” Rafay said. “We just worked together as a team a lot more.”

The Lakers also didn’t panic after losing the first game while beating the Saints on their home floor for the second time this fall.

“When we played them at their home the first time, we lost the first set and we came back to win the last three,” she said. “We weren’t worried and weren’t scared.”

“The first game was almost like a warm-up game,” Sprague said.

“The points they won by were ones that we gave them, so I knew we could change.

“We played really intense. We played every game like it was game point.”

The Lakers will travel to Tacoma on Tuesday. They will get a practice in Wednesday before the annual banquet, and then it is tournament time.

Tacoma went 13-1 in the West Region and is 35-4 on the season.

The Lakers are 19-12 after going 37 in the South Region.

Tacoma was fourth in the final coaches poll, behind Olympic, Blue Mountain and Spokane.

Willett is confident the Lakers can compete.

“Any team is beatable,” she said. “Who wants it more? Who makes less mistakes?

“Anything can happen.”

The Lakers have nothing to lose, Sprague said.

“Now with a little of the pressure off, we’ll be able to have fun, and when you have fun, winning comes easy to us,” she said.

It’s a much better feeling than last year, when the Lakers also were in a tiebreaker and lost to Chemeketa in five sets.

This time around, they were able to celebrate.

“I’m so excited,” said Sprague, one of the sophomores. “I didn’t have any doubt, but it’s really cool, now that it’s real.

“From day 1, the sophomores have had extra drive to get to (the tournament). We all played like it meant the world to us.”

It’s a special experience for the freshmen, too.

“My high school team, we never made it to the playoffs either,” Rafay said. “It will be exciting.”

WRESTLING SWOCC pounded visiting Pacific 40-9 in a men’s dual Saturday.

The Lakers got the dual off to a good start with a pin by Matthew Nguyen in the 125pound match, the first of four pins for SWOCC. Adrian Lyons-Lopez had a pin at 157 pounds, Andrew Orr recorded a pin at 174 and Daniel Chatmon Jr. had a pin at 285 pounds.

SWOCC also got decisions by Thaddeus Nelson at 133 pounds (9-6), Trevor Olson at 149 pounds (5-3) and Hunter Pasternack at 197 pounds (9-0).

The Lakers also got a forfeit win at 165 pounds.

SWOCC won’ t be home again until Jan. 17, when the Lakers host Clackamas. They also host North Idaho and Highline in January.

Kevin Harvick celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup title by taking the season-ending race at Homestead, Fla., on Sunday.

Harvick wins finale for first title HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — There was no trick to Kevin Harvick’s first Sprint Cup championship. Competing for the title against three other drivers, he seized his opportunity with a relentless dash through the field in the closing laps of the season finale.

It was exactly what NASCAR was looking for when it revamped its playoff format this year to try to force drivers to win races.

Harvick picked off car after car, and passed two other title contenders on a series of restarts as he aggressively chased both the victory and the title Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. His desperate drive from 12th to first over the final 15 laps gave Harvick the championship over Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano.

All four were determined to claim their first career title, and all four raced to win — because winning, it turned out, mattered in this Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“If you want to win the championship, you’re going to have to figure out how to win races,” Harvick said. “In the end, that’s what it came down to, was winning the race to win the championship. It all worked out.”

The four drivers all found themselves racing each other at the front of the field after the sun went down on the 400-mile race. It was Hamlin, the Charlotte Bobcats season-ticket holder who had Michael Jordan cheering from his pit, who seemed to have the race in control until a caution with 20 laps to go.

All four teams were forced to make tough strategy decisions that ultimately decided their fate.

Joe Gibbs Racing decided not to pit Hamlin, which moved him to second on the restart.

Richard Childress Racing gave Ryan Newman two tires, while Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers made the risky call for four tires.

Team Penske also had planned to give Joey Logano four tires, but a problem with the jack destroyed Logano’s chances and he plummeted from sixth to 21st, ending his championship bid.

Harvick restarted 12th with 15 laps to go and not much time to pick his way through traffic.

As Hamlin passed leader Jeff Gordon on the restart, Harvick shot past four cars to move to seventh.

“The seas kind of parted down the backstretch and we were able to get three or four cars or six, I guess, or five. You’ve got a very short time to do it,” he said. “You had all the championship guys show up at the front of the pack. I was just going to hold the pedal down and hope for the best.”

Then came another caution, and Hamlin, on old tires, knew he was in trouble. Harvick, on the four fresh tires, rocketed through the middle on the restart, dicing his way through traffic to pick up another four spots and move into second.

“I loved our chances, but they weren’t there at the end,” Hamlin said. “Strategy is part of winning, and the strategy for us didn’t work out with the cautions.”

Harvick got by Hamlin, then Newman passed Hamlin for second and the championship became a battle of drivers who had essentially swapped seats this year. There was

one more caution, forcing Harvick to nail one final restart with three laps remaining, and he eased his way ahead of Newman on his way to the win.

The victory capped a magical first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, where Harvick moved this year after 13 seasons with Richard Childress that failed to produce a championship.

Harvick, who had to win last week at Phoenix just to advance into Sunday’s final four, wrapped up his third victory of this Chase and fifth of the season. He leaned this week on team co-owner Tony Stewart, a three-time champion, and Jimmie Johnson, the six-time champion who moved from California to North Carolina to chase a career in NASCAR about the same time as Harvick made the move east.

“Been trying for 13 years,” an emotional Harvick said. “This week ate me up. If it wasn’t for Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart, I would have been in bad trouble this week. Those guys really helped me get through the week. After every practice, Jimmie was in there, and in our team debriefs Tony was constantly telling me just to go race and that it’s just another race.”

Stewart shared an emotional hug with Harvick, and then beamed during the celebration.

“That’s about as emotional as you can get, to have one of your greatest friends go out in one of your race cars and win a championship in the toughest series in the country,” Stewart said.

Newman, winless on the season, finished second. Hamlin faded to seventh and Logano was a distant 16th.

Bulldogs will face Mazama in semifinals

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — The North Bend football team already exorcised one playoff demon at Cottage Grove this season, and this Saturday, the Bulldogs get a chance at expelling another.

On Sunday morning, the Oregon School Activities Association announced that North Bend will face Mazama at neutral-site Cottage Grove High School at 4 p.m. Saturday.

The Bulldogs are in the semifinals for the third straight year, this time at the home of the team that ended their 2013 season.

North Bend already got redemption against Cottage Grove in the form of a 56-15 drubbing of the Lions on the road in Week 2.

Saturday’s matchup against the Vikings is much less personal than Week 2’s win, but infinitely more important. A win sends the Bulldogs to the state final for the second time in three years, all-but making up for the 37-34 heartbreaker to the Lions a year ago.

“We try not to look at the past,” North Bend quarterback Cam Lucero said Sunday. “Just focus on this year.”

Since North Bend’s loss in the semifinals last November, the Bulldogs have gone 10-0 in 2014, winning the Far West League for the second straight season and scoring a Class 4A-high 50.1

By Lou Sennick, The World

North Bend’s Levi Rider hands the ball over to an official after scoring a Bulldog touchdown against South Umpqua on Friday. points per game leading up to Saturday.

Skyline League champion Mazama (10-0, 5-0 in league) is in the playoffs for the first time since 2010 and never has reached the semifinals before this year. The third-ranked Vikings slotted themselves into the semifinals after finishing off fellow Skyline League foe Phoenix 48-0 in the quarterfinals just a week after torching the Far West’s Siuslaw 42-12.

“They have been blowing out every team they play, so we are going to need to come out and

start off fast like we did this last Friday,” Lucero said.

North Bend comes into the semifinals after beating league rival South Umpqua 42-13 on Friday, jumping up 35-0 by halftime and using the run to control the clock in the second half.

This Saturday matches North Bend’s explosive offensive with the stingiest defense in Class 4A. Mazama is giving up 7.8 points per game, nearly five points fewer than the next best defense in Class 4A, Scappoose. The Indians will be playing top-ranked Gladstone in the other semifinal at 11 a.m.

Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium.

The Bulldogs come in averaging 56.5 points through their first two playoff wins — North Bend scored 71 against La Grande in the first round — with an average victory margin of 39.

Mazama averages 44.8 points behind the stout running game of senior back Joey Lancaster, but Saturday promises to be an oldfashioned, defense vs. offense slugfest.

North Bend likes its chances.

“I have no idea what their defense does, what they look like,” North Bend’s Drew Matthews said. “I just know we are probably the most prolific scoring offense in 4A.” Not “probably” — the Bulldogs are.

Whether scoring more than 500 points the first 10 games translates against the most miserly defense in the state will have to wait until Saturday.

“They’re going to be tough,” senior receiver Levi Rider said.

“They’re not undefeated by chance.”

Also playing at Cottage Grove on Saturday will be the Class 3A semifinal game between Harrisburg and Santiam Christian, set to kick off at noon.

Tickets to all semifinal games will be $8 for adults and $5 for students ages 5 and up.

No tickets will be sold in advance this week.

Gold Beach season ends in shutout loss to Regis THE WORLD GOLD BEACH — Gold Beach’s perfect season came to an end Saturday when visiting Regis blanked the Panthers 29-0 in the Class 2A quarterfinals.

Aaron Guzman had two touchdown passes and a touchdown run for the Rams and Adair Pelayo kicked a field goal.

The Rams meet Burns in the semifinals next weekend.

Guzman put the Rams on the board with an 11-yard run midway through the first quarter and later had TD passes to Gavin McFarland and Tim Frith. Payden Reynolds had the other touchdown on a 1yard run in the fourth quarter.

Gold Beach finished its first season with new coach Justin

Storns 10-1.

BOYS SOCCER North Marion wins title: The Huskies, who handed North Bend its only loss in the Class 4A quarterfinals, beat Stayton 2-0 to win the state title Saturday.

North Marion was the only team to beat the Bulldogs. North Bend was the only team to score

against the Huskies in the playoffs.

Other champions Saturday were Valley Catholic (Class 4A girls), Oregon Episcopal boys and girls (Class 3A-2A-1A), Central Catholic boys and Tualatin girls (Class 6A) and Hood River Valley (Class 5A boys). Bend and Summit will meet for the Class 5A girls title Tuesday in Salem.

Damian Lillard had 28 points and 10 assists to lead the Blazers to a 97-87 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, despite the

absences of LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum.

Three-time All-Star Aldridge was out with an upper respiratory illness.

Batum missed his third game with a bruised knee. Coach Terry Stotts inserted littleused Allen Crabbe and Meyers Leonard into their places in the lineup.

Fortified by strong bench play, Portland didn’t miss a beat.

“The contributions of everybody off the bench — it was definitely a team win,” Stotts said. “It just shows the young guys are getting better.”

NBA MINNEAPOLIS — Adrian Kings agree to three-year Peterson’s potential return to extension with Rudy Gay the Minnesota Vikings is at the heart of a dispute between the NFL and the players’ association, and the star running back thinks the league is being unfair.

Peterson criticized the NFL on Sunday over the process of being activated from a special exempt list after he pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas for hitting his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch.

The union filed a grievance with the league, demanding Peterson be allowed to rejoin the Vikings until the determination of any punishment under the personal conduct policy. The NFL, however, ruled Peterson must remain on paid leave in the meantime.

Commissioner Roger Goodell has the sole power to remove him from the special exempt list.

Joe Johnson added 20 points and Deron Williams had 19 for the Nets, who were coming off losses to Phoenix and Golden State.

Reserve center Chris Kaman scored 12 for Portland and Leonard had a careerhigh 12 rebounds.

The Blazers have won four straight.

They carried a doubledigit lead until late in the fourth quarter, when Kevin Garnett made two free throws and Mirza Teletovic scored at the hoop to get Brooklyn within 88-82. However, Wesley Matthews countered COLLEGE FOOTBALL with a 3-pointer for Portland Florida State returns to and the Nets got no closer.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento Kings and forward Rudy Gay have agreed to a $40 million, three-year contract extension that runs through the 2017-18 season, a person with knowledge of the deal said Sunday.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not made an official announcement. The extension includes a player option for the final year of the deal.

Yahoo Sports first reported the agreement.

The opt-out clause gives Gay flexibility to become a free agent in two years, when the NBA’s salary cap is expected to increase under the league’s luxury new TV deal.

Gay is making $19.3 million this season after exercising his player option last summer to return to Sacramento. He was set to become a free agent in July.

Muschamp steps down from Florida post GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Despite trying three coordinators and five quarterbacks, Will Muschamp never figured out one side of the ball at Florida. And it cost him his job.

The Gators parted ways with Muschamp on Sunday, one day after a gut-wrenching loss to South Carolina that summed up the former defensive coordinator’s fouryear tenure as head coach.

Muschamp’s close-tothe-vest style proved to be too conservative and too unsuccessful for a school with three national champions, eight Southeastern Conference titles and skyhigh expectations.

Muschamp, who cleaned up a troubled program and made Florida one of the best defensive teams in the SEC, will stick around for the final two regular-season games against Eastern Kentucky and Florida State. He is 27-

Djokovic became the first player since Ivan Lendl from 1985-87 to win the year-end event three times in a row.

Packers post another big win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It’s heating up in Green Bay. Say what?

Yep, the Packers couldn’t be hotter. Aaron Rodgers passed for 341 yards and three touchdowns, Julius Peppers returned his second interception of the season for a score, and Green Bay’s defense stuffed high-octane Philadelphia for a 53-20 rout.

The Packers (7-3) raced to a 30-6 halftime lead. Green Bay is the first team in NFL history to score at least 28 points in the first half of four consecutive home games.

“We felt strongly that this game was going to come down to big plays, the bigplay opportunities,” coach Mike McCarthy said, “and I thought our players did an excellent job in all three phases.”

Rodgers threw for two touchdowns in the first half, while Micah Hyde scored on a 75-yard punt return.

“This is not easy,” said Rodgers, who broke Tom Brady’s NFL record of 288 straight passes at home without an interception.

“There’s a lot of preparation that goes into it. It takes 11 guys to win, to do the job to make something like that happen.”

Peppers finished off the Eagles by returning Mark Sanchez’s pass 52 yards for a 39-6 lead in the third quarter. Green Bay is tied with Detroit for first place in the NFC North.

Philadelphia (7-3) was held to 11 points below its NFC-leading scoring average and is tied with Dallas atop the NFC East.

Patriots 42, Colts 20: At Indianapolis, unheralded Jonas Gray rushed for 199 yards and a franchise-record four touchdowns in his fourth career game.

His first two scoring runs gave New England a 14-10 halftime lead. His other two helped put the game away in the second half. Tom Brady sealed it with a late TD pass to Rob Gronkowski.

“I am blessed beyond belief,” Gray said. “The coaches put together a great game plan, hammered it in all week. The linemen kept keeping me positive.”

Brady threw two TD passes as the AFC-best Patriots (8-2) earned their sixth consecutive victory. New England also has won five in a row against Indianapolis (6-4). quarterback Colts Andrew Luck was 23 of 39 for 303 yards with two scores. He extended his franchise record of consecutive 300-yard games to eight and moved within one of Drew Brees’ NFL record.

Cardinals 14, Lions 6: The Cardinals (9-1) increased their lead in the NFC to two games thanks to a staunch defense Drew Stanton, the replacement for injured Carson Palmer, threw touchdown passes to Michael Floyd on Arizona’s first two possessions.

“It was a great win for us,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said, “and solidifies the belief in our locker room that whoever steps in steps up.”

Arizona won its sixth in a row; the Cardinals, with their best record through 10 games since 1948, have a threegame lead over Seattle and San Francisco in the NFC West.

Chiefs 24, Seahawks 20: At Kansas City, the Chiefs stopped Seattle on fourth down three times late in the fourth quarter and moved into a tie for the AFC West lead with Denver.

Jamaal Charles ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns, and Knile Davis also ran for a score as the Chiefs (7-3) won their fifth straight.

Russell Wilson threw for 178yards and twotouchdowns, and Marshawn Lynch had 124 yards rushing for Seattle (6-4).

But Lynch, fresh off a fourtouchdown game, was stuffed twice by the Kansas City defense with the outcome hanging in the balance.

Rams 22, Broncos 7: At St. Louis, the Rams’ defense

NFL Recap

made life miserable for Peyton Manning. Although Manning was 34-for-54 for 389 yards with two interceptions, he was held to a 42yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders, ending a streak of 15 consecutive games with at least two touchdown throws.

The Broncos (7-3) were held to 28 yards rushing and failed twice on fourth down deep in St. Louis territory.

Rookie Tre Mason had 29 carries for 113 yards, the most allowed by the Broncos’ topranked run defense. Kenny Britt had four catches for 128 yards with a 63-yard score and Greg Zuerlein was a career-best 5-for-5 on field goals for the Rams (4-6), who also have beaten Seattle and San Francisco this season.

Chargers 13, Raiders 6: At San Diego, Philip Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Malcom Floyd on the game’s third play from scrimmage, and San Diego (6-4) held on to extend the Raiders’ losing streak to 16.

Bengals 27, Saints 10: At New Orleans, Andy Dalton rebounded from one of the worst outings of his career by passing for three touchdowns.

The game represented a dramatic reversal for Dalton, who completed only 10 passes for 86 yards and had a passer rating of 2.0 in a 24-3 loss to Cleveland last week.

Against New Orleans (46), Dalton gave the Bengals (6-3-1) an early lead they never relinquished. He was 16 of 22 for 220 yards, did not throw an interception and finished with a passer rating of 143.9.

Texans 23, Browns 7: At Cleveland, J.J. Watt caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from first-time starter Ryan Mallett, and Watt also dominated on defense with three tackles for loss and a fumble recovery for the Texans (5-5).

The Browns (6-4) lost for just the second time in seven games.

49ers 16, Giants 10: Rookie linebacker Chris Borland intercepted a fourthdown pass by Eli Manning at the 49ers 2 with 4:43 to play, capping a goal-line stand and sending error-plagued New York (3-7) to its fifth straight loss.

Borland had two of the 49ers’ five interceptions as the Niners (6-4) survived a game in which a big advantage in time of possession and takeaways did not translate into a blowout on the scoreboard.

Falcons 19, Panthers 17: Matt Ryan threw for 268 yards and a touchdown, Matt Bryant added four field goals and Atlanta (4-6) moved into a tie for first place in the lowly NFC South.

Graham Gano missed a 46-yard field goal try with 1:27 remaining and had a 63yarder blocked as time expired for the Panthers (36-1), who have lost five straight.

Buccaneers 27, Redskins 7: Mike Evans caught seven passes for 209 yards and scored two touchdowns to help Tampa Bay (28) end a five-game losing streak. Evans became the first rookie to post three consecutive 100-yard games with at least one touchdown in each since Randy Moss in 1998. According to STATS, he’s also the first rookie with 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns since Anquan Boldin in 2003.

Evans is the youngest player in NFL history with a 200-yard receiving game.

Tampa Bay forced three turnovers and sacked Robert Griffin III six times on the latest embarrassing day for the host Redskins (3-7), who were booed early and often.

Bears 21, Vikings 13: At Chicago, Jay Cutler threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, and the Bears won for just the second time in seven games.

Ryan Mundy intercepted Teddy Bridgewater’s 29-yard pass in the end zone in the closing minute, and the Bears (4-6) hung on for their first home win.

Alshon Jeffery had 135 yards receiving and a touchdown catch and Brandon Marshall added 90 yards and two TD receptions.

The Associated Press

Oregon State tailback Storm Woods scores a touchdown against Arizona State during the first quarter Saturday.

Beavers upset Arizona State CORVALLIS (AP) — Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion hesitated — but only for a moment — when asked if the crowd-rushing chaos following the Beavers’ upset victory over Arizona State was one of the reasons he stayed for his senior year.

“You know what? Yeah,” he said with a broad smile. “The things that last for you forever are the stuff right down there in that locker room. To get to celebrate with your teammates, to be on the sidelines when the defense makes a huge play. Those are the moments that are really special. Those are the moments that will stay with me the rest of my life, for sure.”

Oregon State is known for pulling out the big upset wins in Corvallis, and the Beavers did it again on Saturday night when then beat the then-No. 7 Sun Devils 35-27.

The victory gives Oregon State (5-5, 2-5 Pac-12) something to be proud of in an otherwise disappointing season. The evidence was clear on the face of Mannion, who greeted linebacker Michael Doctor with a huge smile and a slap of the hand when the two seniors

ran into each other following the game.

Mannion’s 67-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter pulled Oregon State in front of the Sun Devils, and Doctor’s 35-yard interception return for a score sealed it. Then the defense stopped already stunned ASU’s final shot.

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak and pulled the Beavers within one game of becoming bowl eligible. Oregon State visits Washington (6-5, 2-5) in Seattle next weekend before hosting No. 3 Oregon (9-1, 6-1) in the Civil War rivalry game on Nov. 29 to finish the regular season.

“I am really happy for our players,” said coach Mike Riley, who was increasingly feeling heat from fans unhappy with a four-game slide. “They have competed well and they’ve been ahead three times in the fourth quarter in the last month and haven’t won, it was a great reward for them to finish and win.”

Mannion, a classic drop-back quarterback in Riley’s pro-style offense, entertained the idea of leaving school early for the NFL, but decided to stay his senior year with several team and conference records in grasp.

Earlier this season, he surpassed former USC quarterback Matt Barkley on the Pac-12 career list for passing yards, and now has 13,124. He threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns against the Sun Devils.

Against Arizona State he passed Derek Anderson (2001-04) for the most career touchdown passes in school history with 80. In all, he has 12 Oregon State records.

He credited the entire team for the victory over the Sun Devils (8-2, 5-2), who dropped to No. 13 in the AP Top 25 on Sunday. The loss muddied the picture in the Pac-12 South, where four teams have two conference losses. It also took Arizona State out of the equation for a spot in college football’s first playoff.

“I think every aspect of the game came up. The run game was outstanding, the O-line was rock solid all night, our two backs ran very well with two long ones,” Mannion said. “Our defense played outstanding all game and Mike came up with the big pick six at the end.

Just a great, great team victory all the way across the board.”

Alabama jumps up to No. 2 after big win

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Florida State just keeps on winning.

Good or lucky — probably both — the Seminoles have defied logic to stay undefeated and extend their winning streak to 26 games.

In a season filled with remarkable rallies, Florida State followed up its latest one on the field Saturday night at Miami with another comeback of sorts on Sunday.

The Seminoles are No. 1 again in the AP Top 25, returning to where they started the season after spending six weeks behind Mississippi State.

The Seminoles were preseason No. 1 before being replaced by the Bulldogs in October. The Bulldogs (9-1) had a run of six weeks on top stopped after losing 25-20 at Alabama on Saturday.

The Crimson Tide moved up four spots to No. 2 in the poll. The Bulldogs dropped to fourth. The Seminoles received 43 first-place votes from the media panel.

Alabama got 16 and No. 3 Oregon has one.

Florida State is the only unbeaten team remaining

from the Big Five conferences after Jameis Winston and the ‘Noles erased a halftime deficit for the fifth time this season to beat Miami 30-24.

Along the way to 10-0, the Seminoles have caught a few breaks. Clemson’s bad snap in the red zone. An offensive pass interference that wiped out a potential game-winning touchdown against Notre Dame. In the Miami game, Winston had a pass batted at the line of scrimmage turn into a touchdown.

The Seminoles are a long way for being last season’s juggernaut, which had most games in the bag by halftime.

They get criticized for playing a schedule with few marquee games, but some of that is overblown.

Florida State beat Clemson without Winston and when the Tigers had star freshman quarterback DeShaun Watson, who has missed much of the season with injuries. The Seminoles beat Louisville when it had two of its best players (quarterback Will Gardner and receiver Devante Parker) healthy and playing together for one of the few times this season.

Knock Miami (6-4) and Notre Dame (7-3), but are

they that much worse than Texas A&M (7-4) or LSU (74), teams that Alabama and Mississippi State have built their resumes on that are currently unranked.

And then, of course, there are the off-the-field issues, including the sexual assault allegations against Winston and the case of the stolen crab legs. Florida State has become the team college football fans — outside of Tallahassee, Florida — love to hate.

“At the end of the day, it’s about winning and losing, and we’re winning, so why constantly criticize us when we are making it possible to win games and continue to chase our goals?” Seminoles receiver Rashad Greene said after beating Miami. “At the end of the day, that’s their job to criticize us, and it’s my job to go out there and play football and get my teammates going, and we will continue to win and get better.”

Maybe it’s just a matter of time before Florida State falls, but the Seminoles seem to be growing stronger with every near-loss experience.

Coach Jimbo Fisher said the slow starts are just part of his team’s “personality.”

“They never panic,” he

said. “They look each other in the eye and they handle the next play.”

And now they’re No. 1 again, at least in the AP and coaches’ polls.

The College Football Playoff rankings come out Tuesday. Florida State had already been jumped by Oregon (9-1) in that top 25 so don’t be surprised if Alabama goes past the ‘Noles, too.

It doesn’t really matter, though. If Florida State keeps winning it will be make the four-team playoff — and here’s guessing they’ll be tough to beat.

IN AND OUT Notre Dame’s second straight loss, a gut-wrenching giveaway at home to Northwestern, knocked the Fighting Irish out of the rankings for the first time this season.

Also falling out were Clemson, which lost Watson to a knee injury and then crumbled in a loss to Georgia Tech, and LSU. Moving back in were No. 23 Oklahoma, which had a streak of 76 streak poll appearances snapped last week, No. 24 Southern California and No. 19 Missouri.

SOU misses league title, will host in playoffs THE WORLD Eastern Oregon University spoiled the chances for Southern Oregon to win a co-title in the Frontier Conference by beating the Raiders 31-27 in Ashland on Saturday.

Southern Oregon still will host a first-round game in the NAIA playoffs this weekend. Eastern Oregon just missed the playoffs.

The No. 8 Raiders host MidAmerica Nazarene on Saturday. The Pioneers finished the regular season 9-1 and are one spot below the Raiders in the rankings.

Jace Billingsley rushed for 247 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers, who finished 8-3 overall and 7-3 in league play. Southern Oregon finished 9-3 overall and 8-2 in the Frontier Conference.

Austin Dodge passed for 307 yards and three scores for the Raiders, but Billingsley scored the winning touchdown with 3:43 to go in the game.

Coquille graduate Heston Altenbach had 13 tackles for Southern Oregon.

Linfield 59, Pacific 0: The Wildcats won a share of the league title with the Boxers and the Northwest Conference bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs with their shutout win at home in the regular-season finale on Saturday.

Linfield will host Chapman in the first round of the playoffs at noon Saturday.

Quarterback Sam Riddle rushed for 99 yards and two scores and also had a passing touchdown in the win over Pacific. Spencer Payne rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown.

Linfield finished 8-1

overall and 6-1 in Northwest Conference play. Pacific was 6-3 and 6-1.

Pacific, in just its fifth season of football after a 19year layoff, won its first title in 62 years. But the season ended for the Boxers with the loss.

Puget Sound 27, Willamette 14: Willamette was unable to overcome five turnovers losing the season finale at home.

Dylan Jones rushed for 223 yards, setting a singleseason school record of 1,599 yards. Jones finished 2 yards short of the school’s career rushing record, held by Stan Solomon, who became a renowned Marshfield coach.

Willamette finished the season 5-4 overall, 3-4 in the Northwest Conference. The season highlight was handing Linfield its only league loss.

Pacific Lutheran 49,

George Fox 7: The Bruins ended their first season after restoring the program with a 1-8 record, 1-6 in the Northwest Conference. John Shaffer ran for 100 yards and scored the touchdown for George Fox. North Bend graduate Mason Laird had a tackle for the Bruins in the loss.

Pacific Lutheran finished 7-2, 5-2 in league.

Western Oregon 18, South Dakota Mines 15: The Wolves finished the season with a win in South Dakota.

Western Oregon finished 6-5 overall and 4-2 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

Coquille graduate Joe Harris rushed for 86 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown dash in the second quarter that gave the Wolves the lead.

As the holiday season rapidly approaches — where has the year gone? — let’s look at some of the books that have been published in the last 12 months.

Victor Mollo, who died in 1987, wrote a lot of stories about bridgeplaying animals. A few years ago, many more articles were found and are being put into book form. The third is “Swings and Arrows” (Master Point Press).

If you have read one of the earlier works, you will know what to expect. If this is new territory for you, start with the original work, “Bridge in the Menagerie,” then move to the later

books.

Have a look at the South hand.

West opens one heart and East responds two diamonds, which by partnership agreement promises only eight playing points. What would you do?

Walter the Walrus, an inveterate point-counter, doubled. Then West redoubled, North passed, East rebid three diamonds and South completed his plan by bidding three spades. West doubled, and all passed.

The defense proceeded smoothly: diamond to the ace, heart to the king, heart ace (East discarded the club seven), heart ruff, diamond ruff, club ace, club ruff, diamond ruffed high and overruffed, club ruff, and another diamond to promote the spade eight as a trick.That was down six, minus 1,700! And East-West could not make a game.

South had an aceless wonder that was much more defensive than offensive in nature. He should also have realized that his partner was destitute. He should have settled for a two-spade overcall, which probably would have escaped a penalty double (or even passed throughout!).
