COOS BAY — A local work group continues to tweak agreements surrounding the Community Enhancement Plan. The CEP work group met Monday, poring over the Waterfront Development Partnership work group’s recommendations and a draft enterprise zone agreement between Jordan Cove and the four member entities. The overarching CEP is proposed to inherit Jordan Cove’s community service fee payments, if the liquefied natural gas facility gets the go-ahead and if it receives a long-term rural enterprise zone property tax exemption. From there, the CEP branches off into the South Coast Community Foundation (a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing school districts in Coos, western Douglas and northern Curry counties), the Waterfront Development Partnership (an intergovernmental agency devoted to waterfront and economic development) and the North Spit taxing entities.

GOP: Keystone pipeline down, but not out

The flags on the Coos Bay Boardwalk may be changing if the city council approves the recommendation of its flag committee. The committee suggested flags representing local governments, Western states and international trade partners.

“I like the idea because we’re open to trade and welcoming of other cultures,” Councilor Mark Daily said. While the American flag will no longer dominate the city’s flag poles as part of the committee’s proposal, it would remain a prominent fixture.
The committee suggested the American flag bookend the flags running north and south on the Boardwalk. The American flags running along Central Avenue toward City Hall would also remain in place.

driver of a 2007 Mustang. In that case, the Mustang was going 35 mph when it crashed into the rear of another vehicle in North Carolina, causing the air bag to deploy. A metal fragment from the air bag injured the driver’s leg. The Mustang crash, which happened on Aug. 17, was notable because it occurred outside of the previous recall boundaries. North Carolina doesn’t have the high level of humidity of Florida and other Gulf states. On Monday, The Associated Press reported that Honda was quietly fixing air bags across the nation if customers were concerned about their safety. So far, Honda has formally issued recalls in 13 states and territories.

DETROIT — U.S. safety regulators are demanding that automakers and Takata Corp. expand nationwide a recall of vehicles with certain driver’s side air bags equipped with inflators that can erupt and send metal fragments into the passenger compartment. Previously, cars with the inflators have been recalled only in areas along the Gulf Coast with high humidity. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it’s basing its latest decision on an incident that happened outside of those areas.
The owner of a 2007 Ford Mustang recently complained to the government about suffering an injury when an air bag malfunctioned in North Carolina. The safety agency says if Takata and automakers don’t agree to the recall quickly, it will use its legal powers to make sure the inflators are recalled. “We now know that millions of vehicles must be recalled to address defective Takata air bags and our aggressive investigation is far from over,” NHTSA Deputy Administrator David Friedman said in a statement. The safety agency has been under intense pressure from lawmakers to seek an expansion of the recalls beyond the Gulf

Flag fixture under review COOS BAY — After years of displaying only the American flag, the flagpoles lining the Coos Bay Boardwalk and Bayshore Drive will have to wait a minimum of two more weeks before returning to their cultural and international roots after the city council decided to schedule a vote on the proposal for its next meeting on Dec. 2. The council’s flag committee, consisting of council members Mike Vaughan and Thomas Leahy, Mayor Crystal Shoji and City Manager Rodger Craddock, suggested the city display a variety of American, state, international and tribal flags important to the city’s culture and heritage, but wanted to hear more public testimony before the council made its final decision. While the committee collected numerous letters of suggestion from the public, there was no public consensus regarding the direction in which the council should move. The committee’s proposal would require a change in Resolution 09-21, which in July 2009 declared the flagpoles would continually display American flags until U.S. military troops were recalled from Iraq and Afghanistan. The flags recommended by the committee fell into three categories. One category was nations and states along U.S. Highway 101: Alaska, California, Washington, Canada and Mexico. Another category was trade partners across the Pacific Ocean: Japan, China, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia and Hawaii, as well as a number of protectorates. A third category was locally significant entities, including Oregon, the city of Coos Bay, the city of North Bend, the Coquille Tribe and the Confederated Tribes of the Coos Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, as well as the Tall Ship Port of Oregon flag. Although the council postponed making a decision, the committee’s proposal was well-received.
WASHINGTON — Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is promising the new Republican majority will quickly resurrect Keystone XL pipeline legislation killed by Democrats, potentially setting up an early 2015 veto confrontation with President Barack Obama. “I look forward to the new Republican majority taking up and passing the Keystone jobs bill early in the new year,” the Kentucky Republican said Tuesday, shortly after the bill fell one vote short of the 60 votes needed to advance. He was joined by incoming Senate Energy Committee Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who said the fight wasn’t over. The vote was a blow to Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who had forced the issue onto the Senate agenda, and who faces difficult odds in a Dec. 6 runoff election against Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy. “I’m going to fight for the SEE PIPELINE, A8

COOS BAY — As part of Coos Bay’s attempt to assist in the revitalization of the downtown area, the Urban Renewal Agency unanimously approved Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to help procure and manage a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Community Wide Grant. The $400,000 3-year grant would aim to help in the assessment, cleanup a n d re d eve l o p m e n t o f brownfields properties lying within the Front Street planning area. Brownfields, as defined by the EPA, are real properties whose “expansion, redevelopment or reuse are complicated by the potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant.” As part of the scope of the grant, Community Development Director Eric Day said he would like to see greater focus placed on infrastructure so that proper property development can occur. As part of the Stantec’s proposal to the city, the company, based in Bellevue, Wash., would write the proposed grant free of charge and should the city be awarded the grant, costs of implementation would come from the proceeds. Stantec was one for four environmental consulting firms vying for the position after the city sent out a Request for Qualifications last month. While each firm’s proposal had similar costs, Stantec stood out based on vast experiences and successes in securing this type of grant in the Pacific Northwest in addition to past dealings with city administrators, Day said. Day said Public Works Operations Administrator Randy Dixon’s positive experience working with Stantec on the same type of grant was also a factor. Previously, Stantec had procured an EPA Community Wide Grant for the development of the Old Mill Shopping District in Bend.

Coquille chess players win in Eugene The World C OQUILLE — Fifteen Coquille Chess Club players attended the South Eugene Fall Classic Chess tournament and cleaned up on the trophy awards. Over half of them won trophies in this event, which attracted 90 scholastic chess players. In the novice section, teammates Jed Wright and Garrett Baird tied for first place. They were required to play a blitz playoff (fiveminute speed chess). Their table was surrounded by a huge crowd as pieces flew across the board and hands slammed their clocks.
Wright managed a sneaky attack and captured Baird’s king to win the first place title. Baird won second place, Dustin Herker won fourth place and Caleb Prince won honorable mention. In the intermediate section, Vincent Thrash was in a three-way tie and did not win the blitz playoff but came out in second place. Jordan Henderson won fourth place. In the advanced section, Sarai Perkins won fourth place. In the elite section, it was no surprise that Aaron Grabinsky dominated. Joshua Grabinsky had to play his big brother in the final
round as they were the only players undefeated. Aaron beat Joshua to win first place. Aaron received a trophy and cash prize award for winning the elite section. Joshua won second place and got a smaller cash prize. Although the other Coquille players did not win trophies, all had great performances as they won at least two out
of five games. On Nov. 22 and 23, the Coquille Chess Club will hold free “Double Trouble” chess tournaments for adult and scholastic players at the Coquille High School Library. Players can attend one or both. On Saturday, register by 10 a.m. and on Sunday, register by 1 p.m. The tournament is Northwest rated.

Opinion Dems now stronger in state legislature Editorial Board Jeff Precourt, Publisher Larry Campbell, Executive Editor
Les Bowen, Digital Editor Ron Jackimowicz, News Editor
O regon Democrats can’t be blamed for celebrating a little after they not only held on to their control of the Legislature but added to their majorities in both the House and the Senate. But legislative leaders should be wary of letting that power go to their heads. Senate Democrats have enough to push through tax increases without a single Republican vote. In the House, it appeared at week’s end that the Democrats will remain one vote shy of a supermajority in that chamber. That means Democratic priorities will be back on the table, including green-energy initiatives and the clean-fuels bill that failed in the last session. There will be considerable pressure from interest groups for the majority party to flex its new muscle. But there is little sense in running roughshod over the minority party, and considerable danger for Democrats if they do. Oregon may be a blue state, but its voters are not staunch partisans. The state’s biggest problem remains its sluggish economy and a lack of good jobs, especially outside the Willamette Valley. Sweeping initiatives that spend state resources without addressing that won’t sit well with the electorate. (Medford) Mail Tribune

Decision to shelve beach smoking ban wise move Well, just when you thought you’d never have occasion to use the phrases “common sense” and “state government” in the same sentence, along comes a news item to show you that perhaps some hope remains. We refer, of course, to the recent announcement that a plan to ban smoking on Oregon beaches has been shelved. In making the announcement, state officials said it would have been too difficult to enforce the ban along the 362 miles of Oregon coastline, especially considering that much of it is relatively isolated. We were pleasantly surprised by the decision: We presumed when state officials first floated this trial balloon that the ban was a done deal, coming as it did after a similar effort to ban smoking in state parks.
The state Parks and Recreation Department first proposed the ban on beach smoking in February, as a way to reduce secondhand smoke and litter. In making the announcement that they were shelving plans to pursue the ban, state officials said they would opt instead for educational efforts to try to persuade smokers to properly dispose of their cigarette butts. That seems reasonable. And that puts the burden where it belongs: on the smokers themselves. Albany Democrat-Herald
Oregon joins nation in grand marijuana legalization experiment Oregon now joins what may be a groundswell of support for legalizing recreational use of marijuana, a revolution that would have been unimaginable as recently as the start of this century.
Now, much is riding on exactly how the Oregon Liquor Control Commission drafts rules for the legal production, processing, sale and use of marijuana. Bringing a large industry out of the shadows and into the mainstream is proving tricky in other states. Oregon officials have said they will avail themselves of all the lessons learned so far in Washington and Colorado. This is good, but Oregon will undoubtedly encounter its own set of bumps on the road to dismantling decades of illegal trade and substituting a brand new government-regulated structure. Oregon’s experience with medical marijuana will certainly help. Like alcohol, marijuana will also continue to be off-limits to individuals under age 21. Credible research shows that it can, in some respects, do lasting damage to young people. Beyond all these personal and local factors, it remains to be seen whether the federal government will continue to stand by as states effectively break away from the dictates of U.S. law. At a minimum, there clearly is a need for additional legitimization of the marijuana industry when it comes to banking regulations aimed at illicit drug proceeds. The Daily Astorian
Calling the bluff on Obamacare There’s this game in American politics where folks who fancy themselves conservative often condemn programs that they in fact want very much. Obamacare is one such example. We face a possible moment of truth in a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court. If the justices rule a certain way, Americans in the 36 states covered by the federal exchanges would lose their federal subsidies. The health coverage promised under the Affordable Care Act is under threat — but not for those whose governors established state-run exchanges. The great majority of Republican governors did not, framing their decision as principled opposition to Obamacare. Forget about those polls showing widespread dislike of Obamacare. The law is complex, and the flood of anti-Obamacare propaganda sows constant confusion. But one reality has been seeping in: The health reforms protect AmerFroma icans against financial HARROP ruin in a medical crisis. L o o k i n s tea d a t Columnist how many politicians condemned the program but how few recently ran for election saying they’d repeal it. And though anecdotal, stories are legion of Americans denouncing Obamacare as they sign up for their subsidized coverage. This disconnect poses a problem for Republicans with presidential ambitions. On the way to the nomination, they must please an older conservative base unalterably hostile to a government-run health plan — except the one covering them. (You wonder at those who would deny guaranteed health coverage to working families but not touch a hair on their Medicare.) This puts New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in a tough spot. He did not set up an exchange in his generally liberal state, many believe, to appease the right-wingers standing in the way of a presidential nomination. That didn’t matter greatly, because the voters at home had a federal alternative. But if the federal exchanges were to lose their subsidies, everything would change. The New Jersey electorate would not be one to peaceably return to the bad old days of health care insecurity. Note that the subsidies go to people with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level — well into the middle class. Experts on the health care law say that politicians such as Christie could finesse the matter by setting up a sort of state-run exchange. The law’s definition of state-run is so vague that a few changes could qualify an exchange as such — assuming the Obama administration would go along. Of course, that would mean the politician could no longer pretend to be a bulwark against the encroachment of Obamacare. Christie has already broken with others in his party by signing on to the Medicaid expansion. One suspects that the Republican leadership regards this challenge to the Affordable Care Act as a great inconvenience. If the justices were to rule against the federal exchange subsidies, they would in effect be calling the politicians’ bluff. But if they were to rule in favor, that would take the alleged Obamacare foes off the hook. One prefers the latter, but the former would be real interesting.
Letters to the Editor Realities of economic prosperity
esponding to the editorial “Many tools in R the development box,” I offer a little mathematics and economics. The article states that in 2000 the household income was $31,600, and in 2014, $38,000. Then it indicates that this town’s efforts at pushing tourism, infrastructure and transportation needs, as well as stopping the business tax giveaways has produced seemingly good wage increases. Thinking outside the box is good but having a basic understanding of economics is much more important for good decision making. Our system has inflation built in and has historically been at around 6 percent. Since 2000, it has averaged about 2.5 percent. This is about 2.5 percent understated because the government changed how it is computed in about 1990. Why? Many of their costs, indexed according to the CPI, could stay artificially low — changed the rules to their benefit! In order to have the same

standard of living adjusted for inflation, a person earning $31,600 in 2000, as in Carbon County, would have to earn $43,560 in 2014 just to maintain (not improve their quality of life — just not lose ground). So these poor people and most Americans are about 20 percent short of that reality — a lot worse off. Actually with true inflation-double that which is
the opposite of what the editorial infers. But there is a magic bullet. It is that infrastructure, money for tourists to travel and spend, and government coalition participants, all are paid for by tax dollars out of their own pockets, partly, but mostly by the private sector workers. In other words, a healthy economy is the magic bullet, and don’t believe anyone telling you otherwise because they either don’t really understand or are, perhaps, just to unmotivated to figure out even basic economics, or they do not have your best interests in mind. We have lost a lot of our economic health due to this political junk food. Don’t buy it unless you want all of America to end up like Detroit. Calculate your necessary income to keep up with inflation by entering starting year income, X, 1.025 (for 2 1/2 percent), equal sign, once for each year of passing time. P.S. Big corporations are as bad as big government for economic health. Tom Martin North Bend
Public servants = control freaks Control freaks want to run your life. They call themselves “public servants.” But whether student council president, environmental bureaucrat or member of Congress, most believe they know how to run your life better than you do. I admit I was once guilty of this kind of thinking. As a young consumer reporter, I researched what doctors said was bad for us and what products might harm us. Then I demanded that the state pass rules to protect us from those things. The concept of individual freedom was not yet on my radar screen. I apologize. I was ignorant and arrogant. But at least I had no real power. I couldn’t force consumers to avoid unhealthy things or pay for certain kinds of health care. I couldn’t force any business to stop selling something. Only government can do that. Only government can use force. Sadly, government is filled with people just as ignorant and arrogant as I was. Economist Matthew Mitchell of the Mercatus Center likes to point out that governments impose regulations without acknowledging that the new rules will have unintended consequences. Bans on smoking in restaurants and bars is one of the control freaks’ favorite campaigns. “A recent Cornell study,” Mitchell says on my show this week, “found that in those areas where they introduced bans on smoking, you saw an increase in accidents related to alcohol. The theory is that people drive longer distances in order to find bars
that either have outside seating or are outside the jurisdiction.” I selfishly like smoking bans. I don’t like breathing others’ smoke. But the majority of us shouldn’t force our preferences on the minority, even if they do things that are dangerJohn ous. Smokers ought to be STOSSEL allowed to smoke in some bars, if the bar owners allow Columnist it. But today in about half the states, no one may smoke in any bar. It’s totalitarianism from the health police. If secondhand smoke were dangerous enough to threaten non-smokers, the control freaks would have a point, but it isn’t. It barely has any detectable health effect at all. Rule-makers always want more. At first, they just asked for bans on TV’s cigarette ads. Then they demanded no-smoking sections in restaurants. Then bans in airplanes, schools, workplaces, entire restaurants. Then bars, too. Now sometimes even apartments and outdoor spaces. Can’t smokers have some places? So far, smokers just ... take it. But maybe that’s changing. The town of Westminster, Massachusetts, recently held hearings on whether to ban the sale of tobacco products altogether, and 500 angry people showed up. One said, “I find smoking one of the most disgusting habits anybody could possibly do. On top of that, I find this proposal to
be even more of a disgusting thing.” Good for him. Mitchell warns that “we are accustomed to thinking about the federal government and federal overreach. But a lot of the most intrusive regulations happen at the local level,” as in Westminster. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, police charged two pastors and a 90-year-old volunteer with giving food to poor people in public. Florida law declares it illegal to give away food in an outdoor location without providing public toilets. The restrictions were instated in the name of “public health and safety.” In New Jersey, churches were forced to stop offering Thanksgiving dinners to poor people because they didn’t have “properly licensed commercial kitchens.” A court threw out a soft drink ban imposed on my city, New York, by thenmayor Bloomberg, but my new controlfreak mayor, Bill de Blasio, plans to reinstate the ban. The rules keep coming. Another New York regulation, banning trans fats in restaurants, led to stringent bans on which foods people were allowed to donate to the hungry. I’d think the poor have bigger problems than trans fats. Their biggest problem is the same one we all have: too much government.

How to deal with childrens’ sexual play DEAR ABBY: Last weekend some family members were at my mom’s house for a meal. My 6-year-old son and my cousin’s 4-year-old daughter were playing in the room my mom had set up for the grandkids. When I went to check on them, I noticed the bathroom door was closed, so I knocked. My son Dear a n s we r e d , bby s o u n d i n g ra t h e r panicked. I a s ke d i f “Jenny” was in there with him. He said no, then opened Jeanne the door, but e looked Phillips hscared, as if he knew he had done something wrong, and glanced nervously at the closed shower curtain. Sure enough, there was Jenny, standing in the tub with her bathing suit around her ankles trying to get it back on. I told her to put her clothes on and took my son outside to speak with him. “Rory” admitted they were showing each other their private parts and had touched and rubbed them. I asked him why and where he learned how to do that, and he implied it was his idea! Abby, he has never seen any adult movies, magazines, love scenes, or caught me or anyone else in the act. Why on earth would this be on his mind at such a young age? Do you think he needs counseling? — WORRIED
A
MOM IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR WORRIED MOM: No. Playing doctor is a game children have played ever since curiosity was born. I think you need to talk to your child’s pediatrician and ask if this behavior is normal at this age. DEAR ABBY: I have had very few female friends in my life. I have a hard time relating to other women. My fiance doesn’t approve of me having close friendships with other men. I recently met a lesbian couple whose company I enjoy. My fiance doesn’t like us being friends because “they are trying to turn me gay.” Abby, this is ridiculous. I have never been attracted to women, and these ladies have never brought up the possibility that I may be lesbian, as they know I am straight. How can I make my fiance come to terms with our friendship? I’m thinking of calling off the engagement. — STRAIGHT GIRL IN THE SOUTH
DEAR STRAIGHT GIRL: Has it become clear to you yet how insecure and controlling your fiance appears to be? Straight people are not “turned gay” because they have lesbian or gay friends. You can talk at him until the cows come home, but unless he is willing/able to overcome his bias, he won’t believe you. This is my long-winded way of advising you to find a more open-minded, secure man to marry because it doesn’t take a crystal ball to predict that the one you’re engaged to will eventually make you feel isolated, trapped and unhappy. DEAR ABBY: Regarding the gent from Texas who likes to wear blue nail polish, there exists a famous fresco dating from 1500 B.C. or earlier from the palace of Knossos. The fresco was dubbed “The Prince” by British archaeologists and depicts a long-haired male stripped to the waist wearing blue fingernail polish and blue toenail polish. The original now resides in the Heraklion Archeological Museum in Knossos on the island of Crete. Any good art history book will have a reproduction of this wellknown work of art. — RON F. IN RICHMOND, VA.
DEAR RON: Thanks for the heads up, and for confirming that fashion trends are cyclical. Sooner or later, what seems passe today is certain to come around again.

Brittany Maynard, left, hugs her mother Debbie Ziegler next to a helicopter at the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
Right-to-die advocate’s mom blasts Vatican remarks PORTLAND (AP) — Brittany Maynard’s mother is responding angrily to criticism from the Vatican of Maynard’s decision to end her life early under an Oregon law written to let terminally ill patients die on their own terms. Days after Maynard’s Nov. 1 death at age 29, the Vatican’s top bioethics official called her choice “reprehensible” and said physician-assisted suicide should be condemned. M a y n a r d ’s m o t h e r, Debbie Ziegler, issued a sharp written response Tuesday. She said the comments from Monsignor Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, came as the family was grieving and were “more than a slap in the face.” Her response was made through Compassion & Choices, an advocacy group that Maynard worked with
in her last days. Maynard suffered from terminal brain cancer and in the spring was given six months to live. She moved to Oregon from Northern California with her husband and parents because Oregon allows terminally ill patients to die using lethal medications prescribed by a doctor. Maynard used her story to speak out for the right of the terminally ill to end their lives on their own terms. A media campaign by her and Compassion & Choices sparked a national conversation. Some religious groups and social conservatives, including the American Life League, also have criticized Maynard’s decision. Pope Francis denounced the right-to-die movement Saturday, saying euthanasia is a sin against God and creation. Thinking of euthanasia as an act
of dignity provides a “false sense of compassion,” Francis said. He didn’t refer specifically to Maynard’s case. In the letter, Ziegler called her terminally ill daughter’s decision to die a human rights issue. Maynard’s family has since moved back to California. “My twenty-nine-yearold daughter’s choice to die gently rather than suffer physical and mental degradation and intense pain does not deserve to be labelled as reprehensible by strangers a continent away who do not know her or the particulars of her situation,” Ziegler wrote. On Thursday, the day M ay n a rd wo u l d h a ve turned 30, Compassion & Choices plans to release a video she made before her death. The group also will call for expanded laws that allow the terminally ill to end their lives.
AMASCUS (AP) — A D 13-year-old mare has been euthanized after the pit bulls that lived across the street got loose and attacked the horse. Alissa Read owned the mare named Paisley and says she hopes last Friday’s heartbreaking loss “will bring awareness to proper dog control.” The Oregonian reports that the owner of one dog now held at the Clackamas County dog shelter says she’s stunned that the dogs that had been so gentle with cats and babies could attack a horse. The newspaper says a pit bull puppy not involved in the attack was returned to Anna DeatonZaayer by county Dog Services officers while a second puppy was returned on condition it be taken to another location. Deaton-Zaayer says a fourth dog belonging to her ex-boyfriend was kicked by the horse and is at a vet clinic. She says none of the dogs had any history of aggression. The two women are awaiting a hearing, tentatively scheduled for next month, that could determine the fate of the two adult pit bulls. The horse was boarded in a rural area near Damascus, southeast of Portland.
2 farms ask court to end county’s GM crop ban MEDFORD (AP) — Two southern Oregon farms are asking a court to end Jackson County’s voterapproved ban on genetically modified crops or force the county to pay the farms $4.2 million. The farmers say that’s the value of the Roundup Ready alfalfa crop they’ll have to destroy if the ban stands.
State
D I G E S T The Medford Mail Tribune reports the lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Jackson County Circuit Court on behalf of Schultz Family Farms LLC and James and Marilyn Frink and their family trust. Lawyers say a coalition of farming, agriculture and biotechnology organizations is assisting the Jackson County farmers. County voters approved the ban in May. The lawsuit claims that the GMO ban conflicts with state law and will require farmers to destroy crops they have already planted and grown for sale. Roundup Ready alfalfa can withstand the application of herbicide. Bruce Schultz estimates he would lose $2.2 million while the Frinks say they would lose $2 million. A county spokesman wa s n o t i m m e d i a te ly reachable late Tuesday for comment.
Sex assault lawsuit names school district E U G E N E ( A P ) — A federal lawsuit seeks $5 million from the Lincoln County, Oregon, School District, alleging that district officials failed to protect a developmentally disabled boy from being sexually assaulted by a classmate on campus. The Register-Guard reports the lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Eugene by the boy’s court-appointed guardian. The suit alleges that the boy was sexually assaulted more than once by another boy while both attended Taft High School in Lincoln City in 2012 and 2013. Both were enrolled in a class for students with developmental disabilities.

DILBERT
The best ever cheap dishwasher I need to just admit this up front: I am a dishwasher snob. Not only is a dishwasher on my list of life’s must-haves, I need one that works. And by “works” I mean dependably cleans dishes, glassware, silverware and an occasional odd piece or pot. And it has to be quiet. I use a Everyday dishwasher Cheapskate f o r m o r e than washing dishes. I wash car mats, baseball caps, small wastebaskets and anything else that Mary needs a bath, animals and Hunt small children excepted. Faithful readers will recall that nearly two years ago, my husband embarked on a major remodel of our home. (If you missed that you can catch up by going to EverydayCheapskate. com, and then clicking on Mary’s Life to find the story with photos.) That remodel was just amazing, because not only did my husband do the work, we did it economically enough to allow for top-ofthe-line new kitchen appliances. I opted for a fabulous KitchenAid dishwasher with bells and whistles the likes of which were beyond anything I’d ever heard of. It did everything but put the clean dishes away in the cupboard. THE FAMILY CIRCUS I enjoyed that dishwasher. For about three months. That’s how long it took for us to have a life-changing moment in which we decided this was not a house we could afford to really own (without a mortgage) in our lifetimes. We put it up for sale. The first party to arrive for the open house made a fullprice offer on the spot. We had 45 days to pack it up and move it out. And by “it” I mean our lives — 27 years’ worth. Most everything went into storage as we assessed what we would do and where we would go. We decided to take a year or so to get our bearings, as we settled into a very small apartment that had no dishwasher. But “not to worry,” is what my husband said. He’s about as clever as any designer/builder you can imagine. And me? Well, I’m kinda clever myself. I set out to match quality with need — a principle I’ve mentioned to you from time to time. I needed enough dishwasher to get through 18 months. It needed it to be functionally solid, which means a dependable machine that washes dishes. I didn’t care what it looked like, whether it had 47 settings or was whisper quiet. We had no time to search for a used appliance that would meet our needs and budget. After checking lots of reviews, I opted for this Amana 24-inch White Full Console Dishwasher with Energy Star (www.everydaycheapskate.com/amana) (Model ADB1100AWW). I paid $289 for it on sale at Home Depot. Seriously, folks. Less than $300. In my heart I was prepared for it to work well enough to get me through a short season of life. Beyond that, my expectations were low. I mean, really ... $300? How could anything that cheap be any good? Oh, my. Where shall I MODERATELY CONFUSED start? I love this thing. It is quiet, works like a champ and gets dishes really clean. It uses very little energy and knows how to work hard. I will admit that I don’t want to push my luck, so I scrape and I do a quick sponge-rinse on dishes that are quite messy. I run it only full and opt for the longest cycle. I fill both detergent cups as well, measuring carefully. This dishwasher is so lovely, so friendly and such a great little helper; there is no way in the world I am leaving her here when we move. This low-end Amana Dishwasher is a full-sized appliance (not one of those counter-top models) and the cheapest dishwasher out there. For my needs, it is also the best.

D I G E S T Cupich becomes archbishop of Chicago CHICAGO (AP) — Blase Cupich has succeeded Cardinal Francis George as the Archbishop of Chicago. In a Mass on Tuesday, the 65-year-old Cupich became archbishop of the nation’s third-largest diocese at Holy Name Cathedral. The succession process began Monday night when Cupich knocked on the cathedral door and symbolically asked to be admitted for what’s called a Rite of Reception. Cupich was named by Pope Francis in September to succeed George, who is retiring as he battles cancer. It marks the first time that a new archbishop will assume leadership of the Chicago archdiocese while his predecessor is alive.
Spain symbolically recognizes Palestinian state ADRID (AP) — Spain’s M Parliament has overwhelmingly approved a largely symbolic resolution that recognizes a Palestinian state. The non-binding resolution follows moves in other European countries intended to push for a twostate solution to the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. The vote Tuesday night was 319 in favor with two opposed and one abstention.
UN push against North Korea on rights moves ahead U N I T E D N AT I O N S (AP) — The world’s boldest effort yet to hold North Korea and leader Kim Jong Un accountable for alleged crimes against humanity has moved forward at the United Nations. The U.N. General Assembly’s human rights committee on Tuesday approved a resolution that urges the Security Council to refer the country’s harsh human rights situation to the International Criminal Court. It next moves to the entire assembly, which must approve it before it goes to the council. T h e re s o l u t i o n wa s inspired by a groundbreaking U.N. commission of inquiry report early this year that declared North Korea’s human rights situation “exceeds all others in duration, intensity and horror.”
Safety agency to push for national air bag recall D ETROIT (AP) — U.S. s a f e t y r e g u l a to r s a r e demanding that automakers expand a recall of cars with driver’s air bags made by Takata Corp. to cover the entire nation. Previously, cars have been recalled only in areas along the Gulf Coast with high humidity. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it’s basing the decision on a recent incident that happened outside of those areas. Air bags made by Takata can explode with too much force, sending shrapnel into the passenger compartment.
Israel premier: Destroy synagogue attackers’ homes JE RUSA L E M ( A P) — Israel’s prime minister has ordered authorities to destroy the homes of the attackers who killed four people in a Jerusalem synagogue. Benjamin Netanyahu also ordered the demolition of homes of Palestinians involved in other recent deadly attacks. Netanyahu announced the directive Tuesday after a meeting with top security officials. He did not say when the demolitions would take place. Israel halted its muchmaligned practice of home demolitions in 2005 after officials determined it was not an effective deterrent. But they have had a change of heart recently and begun to renew the tactic in certain cases.

NEW YORK (AP) — Japan has slipped back into a recession for the second time in two years. That could mean more trouble for a range of U.S companies and industries that count on the country for sales. Best known as an exporter of cars, gadgets and comic books, Japan is also a key consumer of U.S. goods and services from name-brand companies. Japanese customers take a shine to diamonds from Tiffany, strap on handbags from Coach, and ride choppers from Harley-Davidson. The Associated Press

Early winter hits much of US, strands vehicles CAROLYN THOMPSON Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Several feet of lake-effect snow paralyzed the Buffalo area Tuesday, forcing state troopers on snowmobiles to deliver blankets to stranded motorists on the New York State Thruway on a wintry day when temperatures fell to freezing or below in all 50 states. In a region accustomed to h i g h w a y - c h o k i n g
snowstorms, this one is being called one of the worst in memory. Snow blown by strong winds forced the closing of a 132-mile stretch of the Thruway, the main highway across New York state. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said about 140 vehicles were stuck. Troopers used snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to deliver supplies, state police Capt. Ed Kennedy said. “Other than wishing
NSA phone records measure opposed KEN DILANIAN
AP Intelligence Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — The fate of President Barack Obama’s proposal to end bulk collection of American phone records by the National Security Agency was in doubt Tuesday as key Republican senators began lining up against it. T h e W h i te H o u s e backed legislation, known as the USA Freedom Act, faced a cloture vote in the Senate, meaning that 60 votes would be required to allow final consideration. The bill would end the NSA’s collection of domestic calling records, i n s tea d re q u i r i n g t h e agency to obtain a court order each time it wants to analyze the records in terrorism cases, and obtain the records from the telephone companies. In many cases the companies store the records for 18 months. The revelation that the spying agency had been collecting and storing domestic phone records since shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 1 1 , 2 0 0 1 , wa s a m o n g the most significant by Edward Snowden, a form e r a ge n c y n e t wo r k administrator who turned over secret NSA documents to journalists. The NSA says it queries the records about 300 times a year, using known terrorist phone numbers, to determine whether any plots are active inside the United States. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he would oppose the USA Freedom Act because it would “hinder the ability of intelligence community analysts to query a database to determine links between potential terrorists.” He urged colleagues to oppose the measure. Mc C o n n e l l p o i n te d out that the bill includes no requirement that the te l e p h o n e c o m p a n i e s
continue to hold the data. Another Republican, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, has said he will vote “no” for a different reason: He doesn’t believe the bill goes far enough in preventing the NSA from examining domestic records. Obama first proposed ending the NSA bulk collection of phone records in January, and the Republican-controlled House passed a bill to accomplish that in May. If the Senate bill passes, congressional lawmakers would need to fashion a compromise measure for another vote by both chambers. The NSA collects domestic landline calling “metadata” showing numbers called and times of calls, but not names or the content of conversations. Obama’s proposal has not affected that practice. If no bill passes Congress, the provision of the post-9/11 USA Patriot Act that authorizes the bulk collection will expire at the end of 2015. Current and former intelligence officials disagree about whether the phone record searching is a crucial counter terrorism tool. The U.S. has only been able to point to a single case that came to light exclusively through a search of domestic phone records— an Anaheim, California, cab driver who was sentenced earlier this year to six years in prison for sending money to Somalia’s alQaida affiliate.

they weren’t stuck in traffic, they’re warm and safe in their vehicles,” Kennedy said. Poloncarz was expecting the remaining motorists to be evacuated by nightfall because of plunging temperatures.

“If the Japanese economy continues to shrink, it has a big impact on other countries,” says Sheila Smith, senior fellow for Japan studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. “It’s not like some isolated economy. Having a strong and vibrant Japan is important for everybody.” On Tuesday, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced steps aimed at keeping the downturn from getting worse. Abe postponed another hike in the national sales tax and called for national elections next month. An increase in that sales tax earlier this year has been widely blamed for the most recent slump.
Reid urges Obama on immigration ERICA WERNER Associated Press
WAS H I NGTO N ( A P) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that President Barack Obama should take executive action as quickly as possible to remake the nation’s immigration system. It was a shift from last week when Reid said Obama should wait to act until Congress had completed work on must-pass spending legislation to fund the government into next year. “I believe that when the president decides to do his executive order, he should go big, as big as he can,” Reid told reporters on Capitol Hill, adding that he had spoken with Obama on Monday. “I said he should do something as quickly as he can.” However, other Democrats suggested Obama should wait, amid some
concern that Obama’s unilateral action on immigration could impede progress on a spending bill that Congress must pass by Dec. 11 to keep the government running. “She doesn’t want anything to get in the way of getting an omnibus approved,” said Vincent Morris, spokesman for Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., without commenting on timing. “I wish he would let the process work for a few months before he did this,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. The White House has not said when Obama will act, but activists and Democrats expect it could come as early as this week. The president is expected to take administrative steps to protect as many as 5 million people in the country illegally from deportation, and grant them work permits.

CEP At-large seats vote this week Continued from A1
The proposed distribution of community service fees is: • 50 percent to SCCF • 22 percent to WDP • 1 2 . 2 5 p e r c e n t to Coos County • 4.25 percent to Coos C o u n ty L i b ra r y Se rvice District • 4 percent to Southwestern Oregon Community College • 3.75 percent to Oregon International Port of Coos Bay • 1 . 7 5 p e r c e n t t o Southwest Oregon Regional Airport • 1.5 percent to North Bay Rural Fire Protection District • 0.5 percent to 4H and Extension Service The SCCF is chugging along after sending a slate of three at-large candidates to round out its board to its four member entities. The North Bend City Council conditionally approved the slate last week, while the Coos Bay City Council and port commissioners will consider them this week and Coos County commissioners will tackle the issue next week. The WDP is closing in on forming a board. The work group decided the partnership should be created through an intergovernmental agreement between the four member entities due to the cost of forming and running a nonprofit. The WDP board will mimic SCCF with seven directors (four from the member entities and three at-large), but the three at-large seats won’t require approval of the member entities. The four initial directors will sign off on the at-large candidates. The work group is leaving allocation decisions up to the board, though it favored a 50-50 model: 50 percent of community

service fees distributed and 50 percent endowed. They also decided to send an extra 3 percent of WDP’s community service fees to Coos County d u r i n g Jo rd a n Cove ’s construction years, due to a looming budget crisis and instability in federal funding. “This is to fill a portion of that gap during that period of time, assuming there is no significant federal timber money coming to the county,” said port CEO David Koch. Following construction, the model would revert to 25 percent of community service fees going to the WDP. The CEP work group also considered hosting town halls similar to SCCF town halls held this spring. Koch emphasized the meetings should focus on the entire CEP. “We can’t make it seem like the entities get to cherry-pick parts of the plan they like,” he said, noting the four members have to approve or deny the entire CEP, not parts of it. Commissioner John Sweet worried what would happen to this plan if construction takes longer than the four expected years. “ T h e way t h a t t h e l o n g - te r m e n te r p r i se zone program was crea te d , a n d wh a t we ’re a g re e i n g to, i s we ’re granting (Jordan Cove) a 15-year exemption from the start of operations fo r wa rd ,” Ko c h s a i d . “Plus, they get an exemption during construction years for as many years as it takes to construct it. If it takes five or six years, they receive exemptions for the five to six years of construction, but once operations begin, that’s when the 15 years begin.” The CEP work group will meet again at 1 p.m. Dec. 8 in Coos Bay City Council chambers.

Estate of keeper killed by cougar sues sanctuary PORTLAND (AP) — The estate of a young woman who was mauled to death by a cougar while working at a wild-cat sanctuary in suburban Portland is suing the sanctuary and its owners. T h e l aws u i t a ga i n s t WildCat Haven and owners Michael and Cheryl Tuller alleges the sanctuary is liable for the death of Renee Radziwon-Chapman because she was left alone with the animals despite expressing concerns about working solo. The 36-year-old animal keeper was found dead inside the animals’ enclosure in November 2013, with two cougars roaming freely near her. She had been working at the sanctuary

people of my state until the day that I leave, and I hope that will not be soon,” she said. Republicans are likely to have enough votes to assure the bill’s passage in January, when they will have at least 53 seats — 54 if Cassidy wins the Louisiana runoff. “If you look at new Congress, you can count four more (GOP seats) right away, and there may be others,” Sen. John Hoeven o f No r t h Da ko ta , t h e lead sponsor of the bill, said after the 59-41 vote
for eight years. Investigators say it was likely she was cleaning the enclosure when she was attacked and killed. The lawsuit was filed last week in Multnomah County District Court. Radziwon-Chapman’s estate seeks $6 million in damages for wrongful death, ultrahazardous or abnormally dangerous activity, intentional misconduct, employers’ liability law, and violations of the Oregon Safe Employment Act. The suit says the beneficiaries of RadziwonChapman’s estate include her husband, Aaron Chapman; baby daughter, Noa Elise Chapman; mother, Carol Radziwon; and father, John Radziwon. The Tullers did not return
a call seeking comment. After Radziwon-Chapman’s death, her mother Carol Radziwon had told The Associated Press the young woman had expressed concerns about safety measures at the facility. According to the lawsuit, Radziwon-Chapman had worked alone at the sanctuary the day of her death, as well as the day before. It says the keeper sent a text message to co-owner Cheryl Tuller the day before her death expressing concerns about working solo with the animals. “Tuller reassured her that she would not be left alone with the cats, which would be a violation of WildCat Haven’s protocols, both written and oral,” the
lawsuit says. The sanctuary’s protocol calls for two qualified workers inside an enclosure containing animals. Despite the protocols and Radziwon-Chapman’s concerns, the suit says that on Nov. 9, both the sa n c t u a ry ow n e rs a n d another employee who usually worked with the head keeper were not present at the facility — they were working at another property in another county, where the Tullers plan to eventually move the sanctuary. The lawsuit says Michael T u l l e r “ i n te n t i o n a l l y instructed” the keeper to work in the cages alone with the animals, in violation of the sanctuary’s protocols.
placed, the city would have to replace them every six months because of weatherrelated deterioration. City Manager Rodger Craddock confirmed the city currently replaces the current flags twice per year. An anonymous donor has even come forward to fund the purchase of flags, Vaughan said. The original 1991 flag installations were proposed
by a group of Coos Bay residents, led by Terri Whitty, who sought to “spruce up” the city. The city originally purchased and displayed 34 flags of countries using Coos Bay as a port of call. The committee’s proposal is similar in nature to the previous plan, Vaughan said. “The South Pacific flags have been up there before,”
Vaughan said. “The only flags we didn’t have criteria for were Norway and Papua New Guinea.” Because the flag proposal idea was a creation of one of its citizens, Shoji felt it only right to solicit feedback one more time from the public. The councilors will hear public comment at their Dec. 2 meeting before making a decision.
Tuesday. “You can see we’re well over 60.” Hoeven acknowledged that Republicans would need 67 votes to override a veto, but said one possibility is to include Keystone in a larger energy package that may not prompt a veto threat. The vote was one of the last acts of this Senate controlled by the Democrats. It is expected to complete its work by mid-December. C a s s i dy, L a n d r i e u ’s Republican opponent, said Louisiana families “need better jobs, better wages and better benefits,” and the pipeline would provide them. Democratic divisions were on vivid display in a bill that pitted enviro n m e n ta l i s ts a ga i n s t
energy advocates. While Obama opposes the measure, likely 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has repeatedly refused to take a position. Most recently, her spokesman did not respond to two requests over the weekend to do so. The project would move oil from Canada into the United States and eventually to the Texas Gulf Coast. Supporters say it would create jobs and ease American dependence on Middle East oil. A government environmental impact statement also predicts that a pipeline would result in less damage to the climate than moving the same oil by rail. C r i t i c s a rg u e t h a t the drilling itself is
environmentally harmful, and said much of the Canadian crude would be exported with little or no impact on America’s drive for energy stability. At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest said the measure is something “the president doesn’t support because the president believes that this is something that should be determined through the State Department and the regular process that is in place to evaluate projects like this.” After the vote, five people were handcuffed and led off by Capitol police outside the Senate chamber after breaking into loud yowls. One was wearing what appeared to be Native American beads and feathers in his hair.

North Bend offense faces test in semifinals
By Lou Sennick, The World
Noth Bend’s Ian Bream kicks an extra point during Friday’s win against South Umpqua. The Bulldogs hope Bream will have a busy night in Saturday’s semifinal against Mazama, the top defense in Class 4A.
GEORGE ARTSITAS The World
N ORTH BEND — North Bend and Mazama may be the No. 2 and No. 3 ranked teams (respectively) in Class 4A by the Oregon School Activities Association, but in Saturday’s Class 4A semifinal, every other drive promises to be a showdown of two No. 1s. Saturday’s matchup will be the latest installment of Unstoppable Force versus Immovable Object, as Class 4A’s best offense (North Bend) will face the best scoring defense (Mazama) at Cottage Grove. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. The Bulldogs are the most prolific scoring offense in Class 4A, averaging 50.1 points per game, while the Vikings are just as dominant on defense, giving up only 7.8 points per contest. “All of our offense is really pumped,” North Bend junior running back Luke
“All of our offense is really pumped. Like (North Bend’s defensive coordinator Ryan) Goll always says to us before games, ‘Respect all and fear no one.’” Luke Lucero, North Bend junior running back
Lucero said. “Like (North Bend’s defensive coordinator Ryan) Goll always says to us before games, ‘Respect all and fear no one.’” Heading into Saturday, both teams are undefeated league champions coming off a pair of blowouts to start the postseason. North Bend smoked La Grande 71-22 in the first round before running away from
league rival South Umpqua 42-13 in the quarterfinals. The Vikings are on an eerily similar roll, beating Siuslaw 42-12 before rolling Skyline League rival Phoenix 48-0. Mazama hasn’t given up more than 14 points all season, but North Bend hasn’t scored less than 34. “I don’t get into stats and that stuff, I know a lot of people do,” second-year Vikings head coach Vic Lease said. “It’s just numbers on paper, the kids play the game. “We don’t hang our hat on anything.” In addition to having the best scoring defense in Class 4A, Mazama’s offense scores 44.8 points per game behind a solid ground attack. Lease will have running back Joey Lancaster, the all-time single season leading rusher for Mazama with 1,346 yards on the year, as a solid first option on the ground. See North Bend, B3

CINCINNATI — Lauren Hill practices only a few days a week now. It’s unlikely she’ll play in another basketball game, although she’s not ruling out the possibility that she just might feel up to it one day and shoot one of her left-handed layups. Her cancerous brain tumor makes every day unpredictable. And whatever happens, she’s accepted it.

Alabama moves up to No. 1 RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press
With just three weeks until the College Football Playoff committee releases its final rankings, Alabama, Oregon and Florida State seem to be in control of their championship chances. Keeping winning and the Crimson Tide, Ducks and Seminoles should be in. The race for the fourth and final spot in the playoff is shaping up to be a tussle between four teams. Alabama jumped from fifth to first after handing previously undefeated and top-ranked Mississippi State its first loss on Saturday. The Bulldogs slid to fourth. Oregon remained in second place and Florida State in third. The Seminoles are the only undefeated team left in a Big Five conference. Florida State fans might not be happy about how their team is being treated, but the Seminoles appear to be safe if they can keep winning right through the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Same goes with Alabama in the Southeastern Conference and Oregon in the Pac-12. After that, things get complicated. Mississippi State is followed by TCU, which slipped to No. 5 after a closer-than-expected win against Kansas on Saturday. Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 6, ahead of TCU’s Big 12 rival Baylor. The Bulldogs play Vanderbilt on Saturday but finish the regular season at Ole Miss, giving them a chance for another resumeboosting victory. They could use it because their best wins from early in the season (LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn) have been tarnished a bit lately. Ohio State is in position to play in the Big Ten championship if it wins out. The Big 12 has no conference championship game. TCU and Baylor would be co-champs if each finishes 11-1, but Baylor beat the Horned Frogs in Waco, Texas last month. The selection protocol calls for the committee to use championships won as a tiebreaker if teams have similar resumes. Selection Committee chairman Jeff Long said “the differences between teams four through seven are narrow, very narrow.” Whether it’s narrow enough to allow TCU, Ohio State or Baylor to jump past Mississippi State if one of those teams wins its conference and Mississippi State doesn’t remains to be seen. “I don’t think there is any way to project that,” said Long, the athletic director at Arkansas. “It will certainly be weighed into the equation on Dec. 6 and 7.” The committee releases its final rankings on Dec. 7, the day after most of the conference championship games are played. Long said Alabama controlled the game in its 25-20 victory against Mississippi State enough to earn the big promotion this week. Alabama led by two scores in the fourth quarter and Mississippi State cut the lead to five with a touchdown with 15 seconds left. Long referred to game control a few times this week. It’s not a metric used by the committee but a subjective discussion about how the game was played. TCU rallied for a 34-30 victory against Kansas, and Long noted how the Horned Frogs’ inability to control the game against struggling team negatively affected their resume.
Peterson suspension heats up NFL conduct policy debate ROB MAADDI
The Associated Press
S aying the NFL is “making things up as they go along,” players’ union chief DeMaurice Smith wants the league and its owners to take disciplining players out of the hands of Commissioner Roger Goodell. Already at odds over the process used to punish Ray Rice, the dispute heightened Tuesday when the league suspended Vikings running back Adrian Peterson for the rest of the season for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son. The central issue remains the
same for both sides: Finding a way to fairly hold players accountable for transgressions that damage the credibility and image of the league and its players. The union wants disciplinary power now held by Goodell to be handled by a neutral arbitrator. The league, so far, doesn’t agree. And while both the league and the NFL Players Association want to change the personal conduct policy, the sides disagree on how to do it. The union wants to bargain for changes to the policy, while the NFL wants to implement changes with union input the same way it changes rules on the field, like when it moved kickoffs
to the 35-yard line. Smith told The Associated Press in an email that the league indicated it was open to discussing the policy as recently as two months ago, but didn’t follow through in coming to the table. He said those discussions were distinct from the union representing Peterson in his case, though on a parallel track. “There is one fact that does make those things similar though, and that is the NFL is clearly making things up as they go along,” Smith said Tuesday night. “Our goal is to pursue a new personal conduct policy that is fair, transparent and consistent. The only way that happens is if the NFL
and the owners commit to collective bargaining.” Troy Vi n ce n t , t h e N F L’s executive vice president of football operations, countered that Goodell’s authority was collectively bargained with the union in 2011, while the personal conduct policy in place nearly 20 years has never been part of contract negotiations. “The union agreed to the Commissioner maintaining authority to discipline. The league believes it is in the best interest of football to retain that authority,” Vincent said. “The league is following the process dictated by the CBA.” The union and players helped
revise the personal conduct policy in 2007, Vincent said. He said the league has had multiple meetings with the union this year on revising the policy using the same approach. The rules in place now have some players and agents wondering if the NFL has too much power and whether the union fell short by agreeing to give Goodell central power over discipline in 2011.

Beavers win with lackluster effort
The Associated Press
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant drives against Atlanta Hawks guard Kent Bazemore in the first half Tuesday.
Bryant leads Lakers to win over Hawks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TLANTA — Kobe Bryant A scored 28 points and the Los Angeles Lakers won for only the second time this season, beating the Atlanta Hawks 114-109 Tuesday night. Bryant’s biggest shot came with 1:11 remaining, when he backed in against Thabo Sefolosha and made a fadeaway jumper despite being fouled. Bryant slapped hands with a fan on the front row and completed the three-point play, giving the Lakers a 108-102 lead. The Hawks had a chance to force overtime after the Lakers (2-9) failed to put it away at the line. But Los Angeles smothered longrange threat Kyle Korver, leaving Pero Antic to take an open 3-pointer. It clanked off the rim and the Lakers gobbled up the loose ball to seal the victory. Paul Millsap led Atlanta with 29 points. Carlos Boozer added 20 points for the Lakers, and Nick Young, coming back from a thumb injury, had 17 in his first game of the season.
Pelicans 106, Kings 100: Anthony Davis had 28 points and nine rebound to help New Orleans to the road win. Ryan Anderson hit four 3-pointers and scored 22 points for the Pelicans, who outscored the Kings 31-15 in the third. Tyreke Evans had 18 points, and Eric Gordon scored 17. DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points and 17 rebounds for Sacramento, which dropped to 3-2 at home. Darren Collison added 13 points and 11 assists, and Jason Thompson finished with 15 points and nine rebounds. Evans, who had 11 fourthquarter points, made an offbalance shot over Cousins from close range and Davis converted one of two free throws, giving New Orleans a 103-97 lead with 28.8 seconds to go. Bucks 117, Knicks 113: Ersan Ilyasova had 20 points, and the rebuilding Bucks climbed above .500 for the first time in more than a year. Zaza Pachulia added season highs of 14 points and 13 rebounds for Milwaukee, which improved to 6-5 on the year. It was the first
time the team had a winning record since March 20, 2013, when it was 34-33. New York cut a 26-point deficit to 115-113 with 7.9 seconds left, but Milwaukee managed to hold on. Carmelo Anthony had 26 points for the Knicks, and Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 24. The balanced Bucks had seven players score in double figures. Jazz 98, Thunder 81: Alec Burks had 20 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, and the Jazz beat the reeling Thunder. Enes Kanter added 16 points and a season-high 15 boards for Utah, which enjoyed a 55-44 edge on the glass. Trey Burke scored 11 of his 17 points in the second half, and finished with nine assists. Oklahoma City has lost three straight and seven of nine. Jeremy Lamb led the Thunder with 19 points, and Steven Adams had 11 points and eight rebounds. Playing without the injured Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City shot 35.7 percent (30 for 84) from the field.
CORVALLIS (AP) — So much for soaking in the win. Oregon State coach Way n e T i n k l e wa s n ’t pleased with his team’s performance after an 86-62 win over Corban on Tuesday night. “We just had some lazy habits tonight,” Tinkle said, referring to players not keeping their hands up on defense, or getting lost in offensive sets. “We’ve got to have more focus, more sense of urgency.” But Tinkle also pointed to bright spots for Oregon State Gary Payton II had 16 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, and Langston Morris-Walker added 16 points and had five rebounds for the Beavers (2-0), who had five players score in double figures. “Gary was all over the floor tonight,” Tinkle said. Payton and MorrisWalker credited teammates’ willingness to pass the ball for the Beavers’ widespread scoring. Jordan Carter led Corban (3-1) with 18 points and five rebounds. The game was an exhibition for Corban, an NAIA school, but counted toward Oregon State’s record. The Beavers used a considerable size advantage to outrebound the Warriors 37-24. Oregon State also shot 57 percent from the floor, compared to 39.5 percent for Corban. “We’re not used to seeing that kind of size at the level we play,” said Warriors coach

The junior-college transfer helped give the Beavers an early lead. Payton had scored half of Oregon State’s points when he tipped in a rebound at the 12:44 mark, putting the Beavers ahead 20-11. Oregon State stretched its lead to 48-29 at the break, and led by as many as 24 early in the second half.

Hudson likely will retire after 2015 AUBURN, Ala. — San Francisco pitcher Tim Hudson says next season will probably be his last. The 39-year-old righthander finally reached and won the World Series in his 16th major league season. He said Tuesday he plans to fulfill his $23 million, two-year contract with the Giants then possibly call it a career.
Speaking at Auburn, where he played college baseball, Hudson said he’s “pretty sure that’s going to be it.” He started Game 7 of the World Series for the Giants after his 2013 season in Atlanta was cut short by an ankle injury. He’s hosting a charity event at Auburn this weekend and has already started training for the spring Monday.
Judge may charge Clemens with contempt NEW YORK—A federal judge threatened to hold Roger Clemens in contempt after lawyers for the seventime Cy Young Award winner didn’t provide documents in Brian McNamee’s lawsuit against the former pitcher. U.S. Magistrate Judge Cheryl L. Pollak issued a 13-page order in federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday telling Clemens to produce by Nov. 26 all documents previously demanded by the court. She told Clemens to show cause by Dec. 19 “why he should not be held in contempt based on his deliberate violation of this court’s Aug. 13, 2013 order to produce all withheld responsive
documents” for review. She said Clemens also should show cause “why he should not be sanctioned ... for his continued and repeated abuse of the discovery process.” Pollak said Clemens’ lawyers should show cause why the court should not impose sanctions “for unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying these proceedings through their discovery tactics.” She scheduled a hearing for Jan. 9. McNamee, Clemens’ former personal trainer, sued Clemens for defamation in 2008 after the pitcher claimed McNamee lied and manufactured evidence when he accused Clemens of using banned performance-enhancing drugs. The case was moved to federal court the following spring, and a trial date still has not been set. A jury in federal court in Washington, D.C., found Clemens not guilty in 2012 on six counts charging him with obstructing Congress, making false statements in a deposition and committing perjury when in 2008 he denied using steroids or human growth hormone, receiving them from McNamee and getting injected by McNamee with vitamin B12.

IOC changes policy Le Mans champ for summer Olympics plans to retire LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The IOC is ready to allow some Summer Olympic sports events to be held outside the host country. The new option is among 40 recommendations released on Tuesday as part of International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach’s reform agenda. Under the proposals, the IOC will allow “the organization of entire sports and disciplines outside the host city or, in exceptional cases, outside the host country notably for reasons of geography and sustainability.” That would be a first for the Summer Games. The IOC rules already allow for events to be held in a bordering country for the Winter Games. The recommendations— called “Olympic Agenda 2020”—also include measures to revamp the bidding procedure, make the games less costly, revise the sports program, and create an Olympic television network.

Washington coach defends decision in loss to Arizona SEATTLE (AP) — Washington coach Chris Petersen was still sticking with his chart two days after a disputed decision to run one more play late against A r i z o n a b a c k f i re d o n the Huskies. Deontae Cooper’s fumble on first down with 1:33 left led to No. 15 Arizona’s field goal on the final play for a 27-26 victory that handed the Huskies their fifth loss against a ranked team this season. Petersen’s decision to have Cooper run rather than taking three knees and punting in the final seconds was hotly debated after the game Saturday and again
at Petersen’s news conference Monday. “The one thing I really want you guys to know is all of it was very calculated,” Petersen said. “So you might not agree with the strategy, but we got our charts all on our game plans and the guys are looking at it upstairs.” “I’ve looked at it about 105 times, second-guessing it, and if I had to do it again right today, I’d do the same thing,” said Petersen, who believed there would have been anywhere from four to eight seconds remaining if the Huskies took three knees. Petersen reiterated that he didn’t want to punt the
ball and give Arizona a chance to block the kick. Petersen did acknowledge a mistake in not calling a timeout with about 30 seconds left before Arizona kicked the game-winning field goal. Instead of giving his offense a couple of chances to get into fieldgoal range, the first-year Washington coach allowed the Wildcats to run the clock down. The painful loss overshadowed the Huskies’ most complete game of the year. “I think both sides of the ball, we played really well, a lot of passion, a lot of energy,” defensive lineman
Evan Hudson said. “We started out fast and never let up. There’s a few plays here (and) there that you’d like to have back, but it’s football and you can’t. It’s just the way it rolled, so we’d love to just move on to the next game and keep this good play going.” Next up for the Huskies is an Oregon State team fresh off an upset of a ranked Arizona State squad.

UCLA controls South race entering rivalry NORTH BEND OS ANGELES (AP) — L Composure is always tested in a rivalry game, and this week gives No. 11 UCLA another chance to pass the test. The Bruins struggled to keep their poise early o n t h i s sea so n u n d e r the weight of enormous expectations but they enter Saturday’s crosstown showdown against No. 24 Southern California back in control of the Pac12 South. Several players acknowledged they were already asleep by the time Oregon State beat No. 13 Arizona State 35-27 late last Saturday night, a result that means UCLA can advance to the Pac12 championship game by winning its final two games against the Trojans and Stanford. Running back Paul Perkins was awakened by his mother’s reaction to that upset, but did not realize
the ramifications until the following day. “I just wanted to go back to sleep,” Perkins said. “In the morning, I was like, ‘OK, we’re really in business now.’” Knowing that they no longer need outside assistance to secure a rematch with No. 3 Oregon in the title game gives quarterback Brett Hundley a touch of ease in an otherwise emotionally charged week. “It just feels better when you know everything you have to do,” Hundley said. “You don’t have to worry about anybody else. It’s just about winning games and doing what we want to do.” And what UCLA wants to do is play another game without having to overcome self-inflicted errors. The Bruins had just four penalties for 37 yards in their last game, a 44-30 win at Washington, and did not commit a penalty in the
first half. That represented a dramatic improvement for a team that still ranks in the bottom 20 in the FBS in penalties and penalty yards, averaging 7.8 flags for 75 yards per game. Linebacker Myles Jack credited a newfound maturity for the turnaround. “We have learned from our mistakes,” said Jack, who had to rein himself in against the Huskies after committing two personal fouls the previous week that extended Arizona’s only touchdown drive. “We are just playing smarter football, better football, and I think it is going to show this week and moving forward.” Cornerback Ishmael Adams said he would try to help keep Jack under control again, while also singling himself out as someone who would be tested by the intense atmosphere at the Rose Bowl.

his disposal. If the Vikings are forced to go to the air, they’ll have to contend with cousins Cam and Luke Lucero, Drew Matthews and Levi Rider at defensive back. North Bend’s secondary has picked off 22 passes while only giving up seven touchdowns. No r t h B e n d a s s e r t ing itself as physical is key from kickoff. “We feel we can play just as physical as any team,” North Bend head coach Gary Prince said. “They are a solid defense, but we still have to go out there and do the things that we do.” Against the Pirates, the Vikings allowed just 125 yards total and held Phoenix quarterback Triston Hay to 8-for-25 passing for 97 yards and an interception. But Phoenix isn’t North Bend and Hay isn’t Cam Lucero. The Far West League offensive player of the year is 23-for-34 for 599 yards and nine touchdowns as the catalyst of North Bend’s two playoff wins.
The North Bend signalcaller will have his usual receiver core of Matthews, Rider, Roger Iparraguirre and Marshall Rice to pick from as well as running backs Luke Lucero and Trey Woods. The Vikings employ a deep man-to-man defense, but nothing a few adjustments couldn’t solve. “We have done our homework,” Hampel said. “We are ready to take them on.” 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. Saturday’s winner will face either Gladstone or Scappoose in the championship game. The Indians will be playing No. 1 ranked Gladstone in the other semifinal at 11 a.m. Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium. North Bend beat Scappoose in the quarterfinals in 2013.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount warms up before an Oct. 20 game against the Houston Texans in Pittsburgh. The Steelers released Blount on Tuesday.
Steelers release former Duck Blount WILL GRAVES
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — LeGarrette Blount’s early exit Monday night cost the volatile running back his job. The Pittsburgh Steelers cut Blount on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after he jogged off LP Field with the clock still running in a 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Coa c h M i ke To m l i n called the decision to part ways with Blount “in the best interest of the organization” while bringing a swift end to the latest chapter in Blount’s increasingly nomadic career. The Steelers signed Blount to a two-year deal, $3.85-million deal in March to provide the running game with some needed heft. He ran for 266 yards and two scores but saw his playing time diminish in recent weeks. Blount took the field for just one play on Monday night while good friend Le’Veon Bell rushed for a career-high 204 yards and a touchdown. Blount and Bell celebrated Bell’s 5-yard dive early in the fourth quarter that pulled Pittsburgh within a touchdown, posing for a faux selfie on the sideline after the play was upheld on review.
Yet when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger lined up for the final snap, Blount headed for the tunnel. He was already dressed when his teammates entered the locker room and sat on the bus while the rest of the Steelers (7-4) soaked in their fourth win in five games. “I know him, I know he’s not a selfish guy, he’s a team guy,” said safety Mike Mitchell, who tried to coax Blount off the bus. “But it’s more so knowing his feelings were hurt. I just tried to get him to not do that but he’s a grown man.” One who quickly lost the support of the guys he lined up with every week. “If you don’t want to be here, don’t be here,” center Maurkice Pouncey said. “At the end of the day you’ve got your decision to make as a man and he made it.” Pittsburgh announced the move shortly after 1 p.m. and a half-hour later the nameplate over Blount’s locker was already gone, though several personal items remained. While Pouncey called Blount “a good teammate” he wasn’t exactly broken up about Blount’s abrupt departure. “We’ve got our star running back,” Pouncey said. “That’s probably a good thing for our team
that happened. At the end of the day if there was someone that was a cancer who ended up leaving on his own, that’s a blessing for us.” The Steelers promoted Josh Harris from the practice squad to take Blount’s spot, though the reality is Bell will probably carry an even heavier workload as Pittsburgh tries to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2011. The 22-year-old Bell is the only player in the NFL with more than 950 yards rushing and 450 yards receiving but had forged a bond with Blount over the last nine months, though not always for the better. The two were both cited for marijuana possession — with Bell also being charged with DUI — following a traffic stop in August while they were heading to catch a team plane to Philadelphia. Pittsburgh declined to immediately discipline the pair and they showed flashes of becoming one of the league’s most dynamic backfields. Bell and Blount both went over 100 yards rushing in a victory over Carolina in Week 3, a moment that proved to be the high point of Blount’s season. He ran five times for zero yards in a loss to the Jets on Nov. 9 and spent
Monday night watching Bell have the best day by a Steelers running back in eight years. Cornerback Ike Taylor believes Blount broke a vital part of football’s “code” by his small act of defiance. Defensive end Cam Heyward praised the club for acting quickly rather than letting the situation stew during Pittsburgh’s bye week. “Of course you want everybody to be here but we don’t have time for this,” Heyward said. Blount has developed a reputation as one of the league’s more talented and tempestuous backs. He was suspended for nearly the entire 2009 season during his senior year at Oregon for punching a Boise State player. He enjoyed moderate success at Tampa Bay and New England, rushing for a club playoff record four touchdowns for the Patriots in a postseason victory over Indianapolis in January. New England, however, made no move to re-sign him and he ended up in Pittsburgh. Yet while Bell flourished, Blount stagnated, and his frustration finally bubbled over. “He’s got to be smarter in that situation and know how it could be perceived,” Mitchell said.
Vikings face tough decision on Peterson DAVE CAMPBELL
The Associated Press
M INNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings were already going to face a difficult decision this winter about Adrian Peterson, with the star running back turning 30 next year. That was before the public relations problem his child abuse case created for the team. The stiff punishment delivered by the NFL on Tuesday, a suspension without pay for at least the rest of the season, put his future with the Vikings in further doubt. Commissioner Roger Goodell told Peterson he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for his violation of the league’s personal conduct policy. Peterson, who pleaded no contest on Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault for injuries to his 4-year-old son, planned an appeal that the NFL Players Association pushed to be handled by a

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson speaks to the media after pleading no contest to an assault charge in Conroe, Texas, on Nov. 4. The NFL suspended Adrian Peterson without pay for at least the remainder of the season Tuesday. neutral arbitrator. Peterson’s salary for the season was $11.75 million. He will keep the money accrued while on the special exempt list he was placed on Sept. 17. But the NFL’s punishment has now amounted to a 14-game ban, with six unpaid weeks. That’s the equivalent of a fine of more than $4.1 million. There are three years and $45 million remaining on
POLICY Goodell readying conduct policy Continued from B1 said the union’s failure to negotiate changes to the personal conduct policy in 2011 was a “tremendous oversight.” “I felt strongly at the time that it was a mistake and clearly it’s turned out to be one for the players the way it’s played out and we’re stuck with it for another six years,” said Colton, who said he thinks the players and league

Even if Peterson were to win a shorter suspension with an appeal, the Vikings actually playing him yet this year would be an implausible scenario given the heat they have taken and the long time Peterson has been
absolutely need an independent, third-party arbitrator. “Due process exists in most places in the United States except in the NFL.” Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Mitchell said the personal conduct policy needs more well-defined terms and clear guidelines based on precedent. “Right now it’s kind of you know, one man has all the power and I don’t know if that’s ever really a good thing. I think Roger does his best to do the best that he can but I know he’s got a lot on his plate that he has to control,” Mitchell said. “I’m not just trying to bash him or come down on him but I think players would feel
away from the team. For now, the only game Peterson will be a part of is the back-and-forth between the league and the union over the player discipline process. The NFLPA sharply rebuked the league for what it labeled as inconsistency and unfairness. The NFL’s words were even stronger, with a nearly 1,600-word statement spelling out the conditions for Peterson’s return to the field and describing the reasons for the punishment. The union’s attempt to at least temporarily reinstate Peterson from the exempt list failed. The grievance filed against the league last week was overturned on Tuesday by the arbitrator who heard the arguments, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
better if he wasn’t just judge, jury and executioner.” Peterson pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas for injuries to his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. He said he intended no harm, only discipline. Goodell told Peterson he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for his violation of the personal conduct policy — the first example of a crackdown on players involved with domestic violence since stricter rules were put in place earlier this season. The union, which announced it plans an appeal on behalf of
E NGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Champ Bailey said goodbye to the NFL on Tuesday after signing a ceremonial one-day contract with his beloved Denver Broncos. Bailey retired at age 36 with a cornerback-record dozen Pro Bowl selections, more interceptions (52) than any active player and no regrets. “Until my last snap I tried to be the best on the field,” Bailey said. “We all get old in this game.” In addition to John Elway, John Fox and Joe Ellis, dozens of current players joined former teammates including John Lynch, Brian Dawkins and Jake Plummer in celebrating Bailey’s unparalleled career that ended because of a left foot injury. “I need my feet,” Bailey said afterward. “It’s like a quarterback and his arm.” Bailey’s last NFL season was a bittersweet one. He missed 11 games last year with the Lisfranc sprain before returning to action down the stretch. His performance in the AFC championship game finally got him to a Super Bowl, which proved both the apex and nadir of his 15-year career. Yet, Bailey said hoisting the Lamar Hunt trophy was special even though he never got his hands on the Lombardi trophy. “Regardless of what happened after that, that moment was special for me and I’ll never forget it,” he said. “The biggest game you can play on your own field. Hopefully, this year they don’t come up short — I would say ‘we’ because I feel like I’m still a part of this. I hope WE don’t come up short this year.” Bailey said his foot no longer aches with every step — unless he runs a lot.
That’s why he didn’t make the cut for the first time in his life this summer, released by the New Orleans Saints in August. He had some tryouts after that but he knew his time was up. “I never thought this day would come,” he said. “Just like all NFL athletes don’t think it’s going to end, I’m one of those guys. Reality hits. It’s here.” Bailey wants to stay in football, maybe do some broadcasting. For now, he’s just catching up on missed family time, playing fantasy football and enjoying waking up without being stiff and sore. Bailey thanked the Washington Redskins and Charley Casserly for drafting him with the seventh overall pick in 1999 and Mike Shanahan and the Broncos for bringing him to Denver in the 2004 trade for Clinton Portis. When Elway returned to the Broncos in 2011, his first order of business was signing Bailey to an extension that former coach Josh McDaniels had pulled off the table. “We needed a pillar to build around,” Elway said. “And Champ was that guy.” Peyton Manning paid him the ultimate compliment, saying Bailey, in addition to being a shutdown cornerback, had “as good of hands as any top-flight receiver in the NFL.” His versatility befuddled opponents. “One of the things that made him so good was his ability to match up on so many different types of receivers,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “He could handle speed guys, he could handle size guys. He could match up on tight ends. ... It didn’t really matter who he was on, he had a way to match up with them.”

Peterson, is demanding a neutral arbitrator oversee the hearing in the same way Rice’s case was handled. Rice is waiting for an arbirtrator to decide whether his indefinite suspension should be upheld or overturned. Goodell made Rice’s suspension more severe when video of Rice hitting his then-fiancee was released online. Goodell has said he hopes to have a new personal conduct policy ready before the Super Bowl. Vincent said the league’s internal process — including investigation, consulting independent experts, suspending players with pay and ultimately determining discipline — has been fair and

transparent while following the collective bargaining agreement. “In reality, those who are most upset with the personal conduct policy are those who violate it,” Vincent said. “The vast majority of players do not come into contact with the discipline process.” Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jared Odrick said he disagreed with Peterson’s punishment by the NFL, saying it showed how much scrutiny NFL players face over personal actions. “It’s great and unfortunate that we’re at the forefront of America showing how to do good and bad. It’s a responsibility placed on us,” he said.
