Midterm elections anything but staid

SCHOOL SHOOTING TRAINING

TERRENCE PETTY

and JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press‌

‌PORTLAND — It’s nearly as certain as Oregon’s rainy season.

When there’s an election, voters in the state respond with an enthusiasm that’s rare in most other places in America.

They did it again this year.

Average voter turnout across the country was horrible during this year’s midterms: about a third of those eligible to cast ballots did so, according to AP tabulation of preliminary data from local officials and state election authorities. That’s the lowest turnout in at least five decades.

But turnout surpassed 50 percent in a handful of states: Maine, Wisconsin, Colorado, Alaska, Minnesota and Oregon.

During each election over the past 10 years, these states have often been among the top performers.

Trying to explain the phenomenon can be elusive. Each state is different — some lean Republican, some lean Democrat, for example — and experts say there’s no precise equation that results in higher voter turnout. A few things, though, do tie Oregon to its fellow high voter turnout states: A century-old tradition of civic-mindedness that dates to the progressive era, convenient voting procedures and especially contentious races or ballot issues.

“There is something about our civic culture in this state that rewards civic participation of all kinds,” said Minnesota’s recently elected secretary of state, Steve Simon. “We are doers and joiners and voters in Minnesota.”

Participants in the Advanced ALICE Training course, hosted by the North Bend Police Department, barricade the door against a violent intruder during a simulation.

The two-day training by the ALICE Training Institute aimed to teach best practices to employ during a violent encounter.

Educators, law enforcement trained on how to react in school shootings KURTIS HAIR The World‌

‌NORTH BEND — Educators and law enforcement gathered to attend a program on how to effectively prepare in the event of a school shooting.

The program, Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate was held at the Family Worship Center in North Bend. For two days, educators and law enforcement were trained on how to respond if an intruder entered a school.

Michael Kimball, an instructor for the program, said the program offers training to help prepare those who are faced with a violent intruder event.

“None of us as human beings know how we’re going to act in a time of extreme crisis when that hormonal-induced adrenaline kicks in,” Kimball said About 35 people, including educators

“As a father, I would whole-heartedly endorse this. It’s (the training) actually what I would tell my own kids regardless of what the school says.”

Brett Yancey, the director of operations for the

Springfield School District

from North Bend and Springfield, and law enforcement from Coquille, North Bend and Florence, were trained.

Those who attended played out scenarios starting from the standard lockdown to

acting out a school shooting.

Jake Smith, assistant principal at North Bend High School, attended the program, and he said it was helpful and schools everywhere would benefit from it.

“Although every situation is different and difficult to plan for a disaster, it gives administrators, teachers and anybody in the building something to think about,” Smith said. “It gives you a chance to think on your feet.”

Although school shootings are rare, Kimball said it’s important for educators and law enforcement to be prepared in the event of a violent intruder.

Educators from Springfield who attended the program are familiar with a violent intruder situation.

Documents show AP sources: Hagel leaving his post as Army Corps’ coal defense secretary port consideration

The World

JULIE PACE

INSIDE

‌PORTLAND — In September 2012, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was ready to announce a major decision on a Columbia River coal port that would either fast-track an environmental study of the area or commit to a yearslong review.

Businesses with hopes for speedy approval of the Port of Morrow facility wanted the review fast-tracked. Environmentalists and politicians, including Gov. John Kitzhaber, sought the longer process, which was already in motion at other Columbia River ports on the Washington state side.

It was to the shock of many, then, that the Corps chose the fast-track option.

Now, documents obtained

by The Associated Press show the Corps prepared a detailed rollout strategy in preparation for the lengthy review option, called an Environmental Impact

Statement, just days before the announcement. The rollout included all material necessary to issue an EIS: a memorandum detailing its decision, a communications strategy for the media and politicians, and a letter to the energy company behind the project, explaining its decision.

But those review documents were criticized by Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C., in notes included in the documents provided to the AP. Corps headquarters suggested the fast-track option, which would take a few months instead of years.

And just days later, the Corps announced it would indeed fast-track the study, conducting an environmental assessment, a far less rigorous analysis than an EIS. The documents provided a rarely seen view of the Corps’ decision-making process, especially one as publicly scrutinized as the proposed coal terminal in

‌W A S H I N G T O N — A d m i n i s t ra t i o n s o u rc e s say that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is resigning from President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.

Hagel, a former Republican senator, has served as Pentagon chief since early 2013. Obama is expected to announce the resignation Monday.

The official insisted on anonymity because this person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly ahead of Obama’s official announcement.

A senior defense official said that Hagel submitted his resignation letter to Obama on Monday morning and the president accepted it. Hagel agreed to remain in office until his successor is confirmed by the Senate, the official said.

We can fix immigration ‌After months and months of delay, President Barack Obama has decided to issue an executive order of reforms to fix our broken immigration system.

It’s about time.

It’s been over 500 days since the U.S. Senate passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill with strong bipartisan support. That bill continues to await consideration in the U.S. House, where Speaker Boehner could pass it without breaking a sweat. Not only is there bipartisan support for this legislation, the American people also support comprehensive immigration reform.

Donna Once more, RepubBrazile licans are looking for excuses and not soluColumnist tions. Let’s remember back in March 2010, when Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., speaking for the Republican Leadership said, “I expressed (to Obama) in no uncertain terms, my belief that immigration reform could come to a halt for the year if health care reconciliation goes forward.”

After President Obama’s re-election in 2012, things seemed to take a different path. Republicans began praising the idea of immigration reform. Reflecting the new mood on Capitol Hill, Fox News host Sean Hannity said, “We’ve gotta get rid of the immigration issue altogether ... you can’t let the problem continue.

It’s gotta stop.” In March of 2013, Boehner expressed support for an immigration bill that a secret, bipartisan group of eight senators had forged (the one ultimately passed by the Senate in June 2013), cautioning that he had a lot of educating to do among House Republicans.

Despite what many saw as a number of good-faith efforts by Boehner to get immigration reform passed, he failed. In March of this year, he said he was “hell-bent on getting this thing done this year.” But in June of this year, Boehner told the president that immigration reform would not happen in 2014.

Obama had had enough. If Congress would not act, he would. Obama said he’d take action by the authority vested in his office by executive orders. In doing so, he was following the pattern of every other president over the past 60 years, who have each taken immigration-related executive action (a total of 39 times).

President Reagan granted asylum relief to 200,000 Nicaraguans, even if their cases had been denied; President George H.W. Bush included nearly half of undocumented immigrants at the time in his “Family Fairness” policy, which allowed for deferred action and work authorization to keep families together. President Obama is likely to pursue a similar path, in addition to directing enforcement of deportation proceedings to those undocumented immigrants with criminal records. In a world of finite resources, this makes perfect sense. We shouldn’t be breaking up families when resources could be better utilized.

As important as the president’s executive order is, our immigration system cannot be fixed solely through executive action. Major reform, if it is to happen, must occur through the legislative process. Republican members of Congress need to get on board, or else our system will remain broken, bringing continued pain to millions of families across the country.

As one might expect, when Obama announced he’d use executive orders as Reagan and H.W. Bush had done to address our broken immigration system, Republican leaders saw an “out” from the public’s heat they were taking for not acting. Some began talking impeachment, including Newt Gingrich. Yahoo! News last week published an article entitled “Republicans weigh government shutdown to stop Obama on immigration.”

These executive actions crack down on illegal immigration at the border, prioritize deporting felons (not families) and require certain undocumented immigrants to pass a criminal background check and pay their fair share of taxes as they register to temporarily stay in the U.S. without fear of deportation.”

This is just the beginning. More needs to happen to implement comprehensive immigration reform.

The question is, will Congress finish the job? Now that the president has issued the order, he must find a way to work with Republicans in Congress for a bipartisan bill — like the one crafted by Democrats and Republicans in 2013.

The ball has landed in the Republican-controlled Congress’ court. They can finish the job or simply wait until the results of the next election in 2016 to see if they can regain the White House to overturn it all. Too bad they simply cannot allow Obama to do what Republican Presidents Reagan and Bush did — to advance immigration reform and help families come out of the shadows and stay together.

Letters to the Editor LNG just empty promises

‌I am writing regarding the proposed natural gas pipeline and Jordan Cove LNG terminal in North Bend, Oregon. When it was originally proposed as an import facility it promised to bring cheap, reliable and abundant energy to our area.

The original gas import project was the bait, but then came the switch. Currently proposed as an export facility for foreign companies sending gas to foreign nations, Jordan Cove LNG makes sense only to big money interests who will profit greatly from it. You have probably heard propaganda that all of Coos Bay favors the project.

If so, you are listening only to those who have big bucks to spend on public relations and lobbying. If the average local citizen had financial resources equal to those rich companies and special interests who want this project so they can become richer, then you would hear the roar of opposition.

There are many reasons to oppose the project. Land is being forcibly taken from us!

How does eminent domain even begin to apply to a foreign company passing foreign gas to foreign countries? The facility’s proposed location is overdue for catastrophic mega-quakes and tsunamis. Pipeline construction will hurt long-time local employer Clausen’s Oysters, like an oil spill almost destroyed it a few years ago. Jobs may be lost. I live near the proposed storage tanks and pipeline, yet won’t have natural gas for my home. So much for promises.

Living near a potential megabomb is frightening. We frequently read of chemical leaks and gas explosions, yet we are promised it could never happen

here. My firefighter training manual has a section on responses to terrorist incidents.

On the list of prime terrorist targets are natural gas facilities — another scary thought.

My wife and I bought our home in North Bend six years ago.

We love the area, but I doubt we would have purchased here had we known what might be coming.

Speaking of promises, we are promised jobs. That sounds good, but those jobs are temporary and the gas plant problems are permanent. How many unemployed locals will qualify, and how long will the jobs last? How many promises made by the company are in writing? What’s in the fine print? I feel another bait and switch coming. Most of us have little to gain from this project and much to lose. Those who have done our research know it.

Massachusetts elected a Republican governor on election day. Voters in the bay state rent homes and travel on the subway with the ivy league mafia and are not surprised or impressed by the Grubers of government. Perhaps they realized the exposure of the Gruber tapes would take down Obamacare (and then Romneycare, which has become a tax that is destroying their health care system).

Nothing nice about GOP

from the start.

The GOP are not for the underprivileged Americans in our country — they are chronic cry babies and complainers for only the rich 1 percent. There is no money for schools or infrastructure, no money for the environment, yet plenty of money to send our young off to endless wars. God bless those very brave young men and women. However, my feelings for the do-nothing Congress GOP gold diggers has totally soured our U.S. Treasury that is for us all, not the chosen few. Many who are not working still have the GOP Congress to blame. Jobs bills President Obama provided to Congress would have helped greatly — only to run in to the GOP tea party filibusters.

They are billionaire GOP puppets. They are without heart and compassion, only hatred and greed. More money, more money to corrupt and to pollute our sacred Earth.

Loss of Nucor Steel not so much a loss Wim de Vriend ‌A ccording to his Nov. 12 letter, an “interesting article” about Nucor Steel in Time magazine of Nov. 10 caused letter writer Paul Chantiny to recall that in 1998, Nucor was going to build a new steel mill here. Coos Bay did its best to provide the biggest possible tax incentives, but North Carolina won the prize: “Today the plant in Hertford County, N.C., employs 400 people ...”

From this he concludes that huge business tax breaks really are the key to “economic development,” and the only reason Nucor did not build its mill here was our stinginess with such corporate welfare.

Winston Churchill observed that: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

I’m not calling Mr. Chantiny a liar, because he obviously believes what he writes; but since his beliefs are based on lies, they make him a member of the local “economic development” (ecodevo) cult. That cult promises economic salvation through huge sacrifices of taxpayers’ money, dispensed by the ecodevangelists at the port, the county, the chamber, etc. Cult dogmas have even convinced people like John Sweet that Bandon Dunes and ORC and Jordan Cove were lured here by tax breaks. Check the back issues of this paper:

Your views

they were not.

While reading Chantiny’s Time article, I found it strange that it didn’t mention the Nucor plant in Hertford County, N.C. Instead it talked about how cheap, fracked natural gas has given Nucor Steel a competitive advantage. The only Nucor plants mentioned was one in Crawfordsville, Ind., which opened in 1988, and one in Louisiana which opened last year. For either one of these to be the mill that Coos Bay lost, Nucor would have had to decide to build it around the time they abandoned Coos Bay, in mid1999.

That was not the case.

But, although unmentioned in the article, it turns out that Hertford County does have a Nucor steel mill. Nucor’s website says that its construction was announced in 1998. Decisions to build industrial plants are not made overnight, so the Hertford plan must have jelled some time earlier; this too rules out Hertford as Coos Bay’s replacement, since all through 1998 Coos Bay saw lots of activity for Nucor. There was activity to build a natural gas pipeline and a high-voltage electric line, and the Port even threatened to seize Weyerhaeuser’s land, by eminent domain – all for Nucor.

With regard to Nucor’s tax

breaks, in August 1997 the Oregon Legislature had given them the biggest in Oregon history. At first the bill had no chance because its outrageousness cracked up the senators.

It had been written by James Whitty III, of Oregon’s Economic Development Department, and by Nucor’s lobbyist; together the two lobbied the legislators.

The bill finally passed, promising Nucor 15-year property tax and income tax breaks estimated to cost between $57 million and $137 million.

Divided by 250 expected jobs, the low number worked out to $228,000, the high number to $548,000 – per job. Either way, we would pay many times more for each Nucor job than for those recently created at several big computer chip plants in the valley. On top of that, the Legislature voted $20 million for Nucor’s natural gas pipeline, and several government agencies spent millions planning its 500 kV power line.

With Oregon’s offer in hand, Nucor then approached the Washington Legislature, asking them to outbid Oregon. But Washington sputtered that Oregon practiced “horrible public policy” that “gave away the store,” and told Nucor to forget it.

And in late July 1999 Nucor

made it official: they were no longer interested in Coos Bay. But was Nucor ever interested at all? Why did they even consider coming to Coos Bay, which is not only far from the mainstream of commerce, but had none of the steel mill’s basic requirements – gas, power, and land?

The same question could be asked about other wily corporate schemes, including the 1985 chromium smelter, the 1989 Daishowa pulp mill, and the 2007 Maersk container terminal. And the answer is that to all those schemers, Coos Bay was no more than a pawn in their game for corporate subsidies.

They faked an interest in Coos Bay until they got a good offer, only to use it for leverage in some place that really interested them. And it was the ignorance of Coos Bay’s ecodevangelists that enabled those shenanigans.

Possibly because it contains a mere 20,000 words, The World is reluctant to reprint the chapter about Nucor from my book “The JOB Messiahs.” So, to those who want to know all the dirty details, I extend this offer: email me at costacoosta@coosnet.com, and I will send you that chapter, for free – even if you belong to the ecodevo cult.

He has been an observer and critic of Coos Bay development projects for 30 years.

Now that I’m back in the job market again, I’m wondering if I need to mention my previous tardiness on employment applications.

I asked my mother, who has been privy to this whole mess. She thinks I should mention it and explain that I have learned my lesson — especially when applying to a different branch of my former company that would have direct access to my evaluations.

Now I am 26 and have a 2-year-old boy, “Sean.” I am married, but not to his father (a man I’ll call Charlie).

Now that he wants to be part of Sean’s life, he should also be paying child support if he doesn’t already, so discuss this with a lawyer.

Charlie should be introduced to Sean by his name for now. When the boy is old enough to understand — in a year or two — he should then be told that he has two dads and that he’ll be sharing time with both of them because they both love him.

AAA: Average price of gasoline in Oregon $3.04

D I G E S T Crater Lake seeks 150 percent hike in entrance fee

The Associated Press‌

Emergency personnel check a tour bus that had already crashed earlier in the day overturned just off Interstate 5 in Northern California, killing one person and sending dozens to hospitals in Redding, Calif., on Sunday.

1 killed, dozens injured in California bus crash ‌REDDING, Calif. (AP) — A tour bus ran off a Northern California freeway and overturned Sunday morning, killing one person and injuring 30 — six of them seriously, authorities said.

The bus traveling from Los Angeles to Pasco, Wa s h i n g to n , d r i f te d off Interstate 5 at about 7:30 a.m. about 100 miles south of the Oregon border, California Highway Patrol Officer Jeff Borgen said. The bus rolled over and came to rest upsidedown on a frontage road.

Earlier in the same trip and about 50 miles to the south, the bus had struck a Denny’s restaurant in Red Bluff, Borgen said. No one was injured in that crash.

A 33-year-old man from Parlier was killed, the CHP said. His name has not been released because relatives had not been notified.

Two dozen others from the bus were taken to hospitals. Most had minor injuries and were treated and released.

Three patients were in critical condition, including

one who was flown by helicopter to Mercy Medical Center in Mount Shasta with severe head injuries, hospital spokeswoman Joyce Zwanziger told the Sacramento Bee. Three people were in serious condition at the same hospital’s Redding location, where most of the patients were taken, spokeswoman Heather Nichols said.

“We drill for this kind of thing,” Nichols told the Redding Record-Searchlight.

The bus, a 1996 Vanhool, was driven by Jose Victor Garcilazo, 67, of Los Angeles.

Investigators said evidence at both crash sites show that driver fatigue may have been a factor.

They did not say whether drugs or alcohol may have been involved or whether any citations or charges were planned.

It wasn’t clear how much damage was done in the initial crash or why the bus continued on its trip. Red Bluff police, who investigated the first crash,

had no additional information on it Sunday night.

The bus operator, Yellow Arrow LLC, is based in Othello, Washington.

It has a current license and before Sunday had no reported accidents in the past two years, according to federal records.

No one answered several calls from The Associated Press to a telephone number for the company that was listed in the records.

The hospital was working with the Salvation Army and the Red Cross to assist patients who had been released, many of whom were staying at a hospitality house run by the medical center.

“We’re just keeping them safe and comfortable,” Nichols said.

The crash was on the same freeway about 90 miles away from the spot where in April another charter bus from Southern California collided with a FedEx tractor-trailer, killing 10 people. That bus was carrying high school students on a visit to Humboldt State University.

Officials work toward deal on Eastern Oregon water ‌ ENDLETON (AP) — P An adviser to Gov. John Kitzhaber says officials are close to a deal that would allow Eastern Oregon farmers to pump more irrigation water from the Columbia River.

Conservation groups and Eastern Oregon officials have been negotiating a deal that could give farmers access to more water while allowing groundwater aquifers to recharge.

K i tz h a b e r ’s n a t u ra l resources policy director, Richard Whitman, said a tentative agreement could be just weeks away.

“We are very close to an agreement that will provide significant expansion of irrigation agriculture, with environmental interests on board,” Whitman told the East Oregonian.

If successful, the deal

could allow farmers to grow higher-value crops near Hermiston and Boardman, pumping more money into the local economy.

The Northeast Oregon Water Association, a business group that’s seeking the deal, hopes to get water rights adding up to 500 cubic feet per second of water from the Columbia, which it would pump into three critical groundwater areas spanning 40 miles of river from the Port of Morrow to just east of Hermiston.

The law requires the new irrigation be mitigated with water going back into the river in order to protect endangered fish runs. The water association is working with environmental groups to identify projects that can satisfy the mitigation needs.

That takes time, but Northeast Oregon Water Association director J.R. Cook is confident it will pay dividends.

“People start to get it, that this is a much bigger benefit than just our northeast Oregon neck of the woods,” he said. “Just having that dialogue with folks ... it doesn’t mean they’ll agree with everything we propose, but the best part is they understand it and they can make a weighted opinion on it down the road.”

Bipartisan political backing will be important next year when it comes to funding any new water projects. It is likely the governor’s budget will include some resources to help the Columbia River supply start flowing, Whitman said.

Delta jet slides off icy taxiway in Detroit ‌ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — A Delta jet has slid off an icy taxiway at Detroit Metro Airport.

A Delta spokesman said that none of the 160 passengers or six crew members were injured in the Saturday morning accident.

The plane had just arrived from Portland, Oregon, and was taxiing slowly to the terminal when it slid into the grass, says Delta spokesman Anthony Black.

Passengers have been taken to the terminal on buses. It’s uncertain whether the Boeing 737800 was damaged or when it might fly again.

Black says maintenance crews will inspect the plane.

Flights were grounded for a couple hours

Saturday morning at the airport in the suburb of Romulus because of ice covering the airfield. An

airport spokesman says all parallel runways have reopened and flights have resumed.

‌MEDFORD (AP) — Crater Lake National Park is proposing a hike in its vehicle entrance fee from $10 to $25.

Park officials say the 150 percent increase is needed to account for inflation and raise money for maintenance projects.

The vehicle entry fee allows occupants into the park for seven days.

The park is proposing to raise the individual entrance fee from $5 to $12 and to quadruple the cost of a motorcycle pass from $5 to $20.

The Medford MailTribune reports the fee increase would put Crater Lake on par with other national parks of its size.

It could be implemented by early 2015.

The National Park Service is accepting public comments until late December.

Crater Lake last raised its entrance fee in 1997.

Police chase teens accused of school break-in ‌WILSONVILLE (AP) — Authorities detained two teenagers who allegedly broke into a Wilsonville elementary school and stole property.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to an alarm from Boones Ferry Primary School Friday evening and spotted four teens leaving.

The teens ran, but police chased them and caught up with all four.

They were carrying the stolen property, which authorities have not identified.

Three of the suspects are 14 years old, the other is 13. They were turned over to the custody of the Clackamas County Juvenile Department.

The sheriff’s office says one teen climbed onto the roof and entered the school, then let the others in.

Top UO researchers leave for University of Chicago ‌EUGENE (AP) — Two top brain researchers are leaving the University of Oregon, taking their labs and research grants to the University of Chicago.

The move is a setback for a university that is itself trying to recruit top talent.

Professors Ed Awh and Ed Vogel have been central to a hiring effort the UO was pursuing.

It’s not uncommon for elite universities to hire top researchers away from other schools.

The UO is downplaying the significance of the researchers’ departure, saying the Institute of Neuroscience will still have about 17 people.

Psychology department head Ulrich Mayr tells the Eugene Register-Guard that the UO made an “aggressive counteroffer,” but it’s difficult for a public school to compete with an elite university with a robust endowment.

2 men injured in Tigard service station restroom ‌TIGARD (AP) — Police say two men were injured in a blast in the restroom of a Tigard service station where they were trying to make hash oil from marijuana and butane used in the process exploded.

The two Tigard men — 18 and 23 years old — took themselves to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center early Sunday.

They were transported to the Legacy Oregon Burn Center. Firefighters with Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue put out a small fire in the ceiling. Smoke had spread to the food mart.

Officers and firefighters say the men were trying to produce hash oil when a heat gun ignited butane.

The sender, I’ll call her Emily, had been asked to give a 15-minute presentation on how to achieve financial freedom. She was honored to have been asked, but panicked at the thought. She asked if I could help her.

My first thought was I can’t even introduce myself in 15 minutes. How could I, Emily or Everyday anyone else Cheapskate tackle that subject in just 15 minu te s ? B u t then I got to t h i n king about it. If money management, as I Mary believe, is Hunt not that difficult, why couldn’t she do it? Why couldn’t I do it? I decided to give it a try.

Save. Do not confuse saving money with spending less, as in “I save money when I buy things on sale.”

You are not saving at all; you are spending less. Saving money means that you actually put money into a safe place for some future time. Do that. Starting right now and forevermore, make it a rule that you will put some amount of your paycheck into a savings account before you spend any of it. Make it automatic and you won’t miss what you don’t see. Goal: 10 per- THE FAMILY CIRCUS cent of all you receive goes straight into savings.

Give. Give away the same amount as you save. Just give it away — no strings attached — as an act of gratitude for what you have and how you are blessed.

Goal: Give away 10 percent of all you receive.

Live. Rein in your lifestyle so that it fits into 80 percent of your net income.

Cut back your lifestyle.

Reduce your spending in every area of your life by a small amount, and you will be able to achieve this goal — probably sooner than you ever dreamed.

Credit. You need only one credit card. Pick the MasterCard or Visa you’ve had for the longest time. Cut up all the others. Now you cannot use them. If you have a balance on the one card you keep, do not carry it. You’ve given up that privilege until you are able to pay it down to $0 every month.

Debt. The only debt that is safe for you to carry is secured debt (mortgage, car or anything with collateral). All others are dangerous to your wealth. Make a plan to pay off all of your credit card debts quickly.

This is critical to your financial health.

Cash. It’s proven that you will spend about 30 percent more if you depend on plastic to pay for dayto-day spending. Leave the plastic at home.

Live as much as possible with cash. Inconvenient?

Yes. That’s the point. Plan.

Society wants you to believe that living spontaneously brings freedom. Just the opposite is true. You need to have a spending plan (a way that you “pre-spend” your paycheck on paper) so that you know ahead of time where the money will go. Write it down and then stick to it.

Support. You need to know that you are not alone.

The best way to do that and to keep your focus every day MODERATELY CONFUSED is to get support. There are thousands of people getting control of their financial lives.

Probe begins in fatal shooting of boy by officer ‌CLEVELAND (AP) — A 12-year-old boy was fatally shot by police in Cleveland after brandishing what turned out to be a replica gun, triggering an investigation into his death and a legislator’s call for such weapons to be brightly colored or bear special markings.

The boy, identified by the Cuyahoga County medical examiner as Tamir Rice, died from his wounds Sunday, a day after officers responded to a 911 call about someone waving a “probably fake” gun at a playground.

Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said one officer fired twice after the boy pulled the fake weapon — which was lacking the orange safety indicator usually found on the muzzle — from his waistband but

had not pointed it at police.

The boy did not make any verbal threats but grabbed the replica handgun after being told to raise his hands, Tomba said.

“That’s when the officer fired,” he said.

Police described the weapon as an “airsoft” type replica that resembled a semi-automatic handgun.

The orange safety indicator had been removed, police said.

The two officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the officers are a firstyear rookie and a 10-year department veteran.

The police department

has collected surveillance video and other evidence and will present it to the county prosecutor’s office, the newspaper said without citing a source. It said after reviewing the evidence prosecutors will present the case to a grand jury, which will decide whether the officer was justified in using force against the boy.

An attorney for the boy’s family, Timothy Kucharski, said Tamir went to the park with friends Saturday afternoon, but he did not know the details of what led to his shooting.

“I don’t want to make a rush to judgment,” he said.

Kucharski said he wants to talk to witnesses himself and get more facts. “We’re ultimately going to find out

State Rep. Alicia Reece of Cincinnati announced Sunday that she will introduce legislation to require all BB guns, air rifles and airsoft guns sold in Ohio to be brightly colored or have prominent fluorescent strips. It is modeled after a bill signed by California Gov. Jerry Brown.

One Diriection, Katy Perry win big at AMAs Associated Press

The Associated Press‌

Anthony Grimes kneels on a rain-soaked street as he blocks traffic with other protesters Sunday in St. Louis. Ferguson and the St. Louis region are on edge in anticipation of the announcement by a grand jury whether to criminally charge officer Darren Wilson in the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

Uncertainty fuels speculation on decision in Ferguson, Mo. ‌FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The final weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday passed without a grand jury decision on whether to indict a Ferguson police officer, fueling new speculation about the timing as protesters demand justice for Michael Brown.

After meeting Friday but apparently not reaching a decision, the grand jury was widely expected to reconvene on Monday to consider possible charges against Darren Wilson, the white suburban St. Louis officer who fatally shot the black 18-year-old after a confrontation in August.

There was no official confirmation about when the grand jury would meet again.

Reggie Cunningham was among Sunday night’s protesters. He said he doubted Wilson will be indicted and

felt like authorities were delaying an announcement “to spin this in the most positive way possible.”

“The more that they drag this out, the angrier people are going to be,” said Cunningham, 30, of St. Louis.

The shooting triggered riots and looting back in the summer, and police responded with armored vehicles and tear gas.

Many thought a grand jury decision on whether to charge Wilson would be announced Sunday, based partly on a stepped-up police presence in the preceding days.

Downtown STL Inc., a St. Louis civic group that promotes downtown businesses, told members in an email Saturday that the grand jury will reconvene Monday to continue deliberating. The email did not explain how the group

knew that, and St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s office has not commented on the grand jury’s schedule.

McCulloch has said he expected a decision by mid-to-late November, but that’s ultimately not in his control. The 12-person grand jury deliberates in secret and sets its own schedule depending upon when the members are available.

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Brown’s family, said they are frustrated the prosecutor didn’t charge Wilson himself or suggest a charge to grand jurors.

As it is, “you don’t have any direction, you’re just putting all the evidence out there and you’re going to let them figure it out and they can make up their own minds,” Crump said. “You

know, it just boggles the mind why he thinks this is fair.”

If jurors meet Monday, there is no guarantee they’ll reach a decision that day, or even this week. It’s not uncommon for deliberations to take a while in complex cases when, such as in the Brown shooting, self-defense is alleged or there are two widely conflicting versions, according to Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson, who is not involved in the Ferguson case.

Sunday would have been an opportune time to minimize disruptions from protests, since schools and governments are planning on only a partial holiday workweek, Washington University law professor Peter Joy said, but that Monday or Tuesday would still make sense.

Suicide bomber kills at least 45 in Afgahnistan ‌K ABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber blew himself up at a volleyball tournament in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing at least 45 people in the country’s deadliest terrorist attack this year, officials said.

The bloodshed came just hours after Parliament approved agreements allowing U.S. and NATO troops to remain in the country past the end of the year.

D o z e n s m o re we re wounded, many critically, said Mokhlis Afghan, spokesman for the governor of Paktika province. He said the bomber was mingling with the large crowd at the sporting event in Yahyakhail district when he set off the explosives.

“There were too many people gathered in the one place to watch the game,” Afghan said.

Naseeb Ahmad, a doctor at Sharan Hospital in Paktika’s capital, said the hospital received about 80 wounded people, 20 of them children. Officials said people of all ages were watching the adult-league inter-district tournament.

Volleyball is a popular sport in Afghanistan, played across the country, and the attacker is likely to have targeted the event to ensure maximum casualties. It is also possible that the presence of local police in the crowd made it an attractive target, as security forces are regularly attacked by insurgents.

No one claimed responsibility, and the Taliban’s spokesman could not be reached by telephone.

Paktika, bordering Pakistan, is one of Afghanistan’s most volatile regions, a place where Taliban and

affiliated insurgent groups like the Haqqani network are waging an intensifying war against the government in Kabul.

Sunday’s attack was characteristic of Haqqani operations, as the group regularly sends young men to carry out suicide attacks on high-profile targets.

Attacks that kill women and children cause particular outrage, and the Taliban have been known to avoid claiming responsibility or to blame deaths on security forces.

Earlier this year, a suicide bomber blew up a car packed with explosives near a busy market and a mosque in Paktika’s Urgun district.

The death toll was originally thought to have been close to 90, but was later revised down to 43. That attack was, until Sunday, Afghanistan’s worst for 2014.

‌A merican girls love British boys: One Direction won artist of the year at the American Music Awards, taking home three honors and was the night’s big winner next to Katy Perry, who didn’t attend the show.

One Direction also won favorite band, duo or group — pop/rock and favorite album — pop/rock for “Midnight Memories” at the fan-voted show on Sunday night.

“This has been a real perfect day ... America feels like a second home to us,” Liam Payne said onstage with his band mates when they won the night’s first award. The group released its new album, “Four,” last week.

Perry won three honors as well, including single of the year for No. 1 hit “Dark Horse,” favorite female artist — pop/rock and favorite artist — adult contemporary.

She later received the first-ever Dick Clark Award for Excellence, presented by Diana Ross.

Homes collapse, dozens injured in Japan quake

The Associated Press‌

Houses are collapsed Sunday after a strong earthquake hit Hakuba, Nagano prefecture, central Japan, on Saturday night.

‌TOKYO (AP) — Helicopter surveys on Sunday showed more extensive damage than earlier thought from an overnight earthquake in the mountainous central Japan area that hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics.

At least 37 homes were destroyed in two villages, and 39 people were injured across the region, including seven seriously, mostly with broken bones, officials said.

T h e m a g n i t u d e - 6.7 earthquake struck shortly

after 10 p.m. Saturday west of Nagano city at a depth of 6 miles, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. The agency revised the magnitude from a preliminary 6.8 while the U.S. Geological Survey measured it at 6.2. Since the quake occurred inland, there was no possibility of a tsunami.

Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority said no abnormalities were reported at three nuclear power plants in the affected areas.

Crew blasts off for International Space Station ‌BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan (AP) — A Russian capsule carrying three astronauts from Rus sia, the United States and Italy has blasted off for the International Space Station.

The Soyuz capsule roared into the pre-dawn darkness just after 3 a.m. Monday

from the Russian manned space facility in Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

Aboard the capsule are Russian Anton Shkaplerov, NASA’s Terry Virts and European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy.

The craft will dock with the space station about

six hours after launch, where they will join three others already aboard.

Those include Russian Elana Serova, and Cristoforetti’s arrival will make it the second time in the station’s 16-year history t h a t two wo m e n h ave been aboard on longterm missions.

‌N A I RO B I , Ke nya — Have you seen a man who loaded live giraffes into a Tanzanian military plane for delivery to Qatar? If so Interpol would like to speak with you.

The international police agency Interpol recently began a Most Wanted campaign of suspects who have carried out such environmental crimes as wildlife trafficking, illegal fishing, illegal logging and trading in ivory.Interpol is

asking for the public’s help in tracking down nine suspects on that list.

Ioannis Kokkinis, an Interpol criminal intelligence officer, said in a statement this week that a new clue can crack open a dormant case.

“Sometimes all it takes is a fresh pair of eyes to bring new momentum to an investigation and provide the missing clue which will help locate these wanted individuals, some of who have been evading justice for years,” Kokkinis said.

Interpol says Kamran allegedly paid for the transport of live giraffes and impalas by military plane from Kilimanjaro International Airport to be delivered to Qatar, where African wildlife like cheetahs are popular pets among the country’s most affluent residents.

Feisal Mohamed Ali is listed by Interpol as a Most Wanted trafficker of ivory.

The police group says that the Kenyan national was once found in possession of 314 pieces of ivory

weighing more than 2 tons.

Interpol says that Ali is the leader of an ivory smuggling group.

Interpol and the U.N. Environmental Program said in a joint report this year that the illegal wildlife trade and environmental crimes like the illegal timber industry is worth an estimated $70 to $213 billion a year. UNEP has said that the illegal cutting of timber and the poaching of elephants and rhinos are part of a “rapidly escalating environmental crime wave.”

Midterms Residents like voting by mail Continued from A1

The states with consistently high turnout tend to make it easy to cast ballots. Maine, Minnesota and Wisconsin allow voters to register on Election Day. Colorado, Oregon and Washington state hold elections exclusively by mail.

Though experts say convenience alone doesn’t necessarily mean higher turnout, in Oregon, residents like voting by mail. Ballots are sent by mail to registered voters three weeks before the election, and voters can take time making their election choices.

Filling in ballots at the dining room table has become an Oregon tradition.

An especially contentious race or ballot issue also drives voters to weigh in, and this year, several of

The Corps and the former Corps official who was in charge of the project insist that the documents only show the Corps’ thoroughness and preparation for either the fast-track or lengthy review options.

The EIS documents, the Corps say, were simply composed in preparation for either possibility.

But environmentalists who obtained the documents and shared them with The AP are suspicious of this explanation, and question why the Corps would go as far as writing

the top voter-turnout states had closely watched races.

Wisconsin has long been a battleground state in presidential elections, and most recently, it’s had a string of hotly contested campaigns following Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s push to weaken bargaining rights for public employee unions.

“People see their votes as making a difference,” said Kevin Kennedy, Wisconsin’s chief elections official. “The fact that it’s had a very sharp partisan divide the past few years probably focuses to engage voters.”

Maine’s turnout this month was boosted by contested races for governor and U.S. House, said Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap.

And it also got a bruin boost. A ballot question that sought to ban the use of dogs, bait and traps to hunt bears drew out residents in rural parts of the state in large numbers to vote it down.

“It’s just not believable,” said Brett VandenHuevel, executive director of environmental advocacy group Columbia Riverkeeper. “The scientists made a determination of significant impact, and that was changed by Washington bureaucrats.”

John Eisenhauer, the Corps official in charge of the Portland district in 2012, said there is nothing unusual about the documents prepared. Eisenhauer, who has since retired from the Corps and is an adviser at a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm, denied any interference in his decision-making from headquarters.

Blazers beat Boston KEN POWTAK

Associated Press‌

Photos by Lou Sennick, The World‌

Drew Matthews makes a reception early in the game on a pass from Cam Lucero for a North Bend touchdown against Mazama Saturday. The Bulldogs won 41-40, with Matthews scoring three touchdowns.

North Bend reaches Class 4A title game GEORGE ARTSITAS The World‌

‌C OTTAGE GROVE — The score that sent North Bend to the state finals started with a wink.

Or maybe it was a nod.

Head coach Gary Prince couldn’t remember after his Bulldogs finished off their stunning 41-40 win over Mazama in the Class 4A semifinals on Saturday.

All he knew was that his best receiver (Drew Matthews) and his quarterback (Cam Lucero) called a play to each other, and up 35-34 and facing fourthand-16 with just over 10 minutes left, Prince went with it.

“They had a two-man game going, but it worked,” Prince said. “They always say you want the ball in your best kid’s hand when it gets down to it, and those are two of our best kids.”

On offense, Matthews and Lucero are the two most lethal weapons on the highest scoring offense in Class 4A. But on that play, Matthews messed up.

The all-Far West League wideout ran the wrong route and headed toward the pylon.

With Matthews covered, Lucero looked left to his second option, then when the pocket broke down, he swung his eye line back to his right.

Matthews improvised, kept moving and had a step on his defender, so Lucero threw up a duck.

“It wasn’t a good throw, but it was one of the greatest catches ever,” Lucero said. “When he can go up and get those it makes my job a lot easier.”

Matthews did the rest of the work. The wobbly pass flew over defensive back Taylor Bennett’s hands and Matthews reached up and wrestled it away from Joey Lancaster for

Cam Lucero runs back to the sidelines with the game ball as the clock runs out Saturday evening. a 22-yard touchdown.

Lucero finished 10-for-23 passing Saturday for 325 yards and five touchdowns, including his first interception of the postseason to Curtis Anderson.

In the process, he reversed the result of last year’s 37-34 semifinal loss to Cottage Grove, when Lucero played the entire game with a torn labrum.

And Matthews got his own taste of redemption.

“Last year I kind of choked in the semifinal game and had a big drop and it wasn’t happening again,” said Matthews, who finished with a monster game Saturday, with six catches for 209 yards and three touchdowns.

“I knew I was getting it and I wasn’t letting our team down.”

That score put the Bulldogs up 41-34, but they had to grind out the more than 10 minutes

left on the clock.

Mazama flew back down the field, scoring from a yard out with an Eddie Medina run.

The Vikings opted to go for two after kicker Aurelien Agnimel missed their previous extra point, but a Joey Lancaster run was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage, keeping North Bend up 41-40.

‌BOSTON (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge likes the attitude the Portland Trail Blazers have during this winning streak.

Aldridge had 20 points and 14 rebounds, reserve Chris Kaman scored 16 points and the Trail Blazers extended their streak to seven games with a 94-88 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday night.

“I like it because I don’t want guys getting caught up in the moment of seven in a row,” he said. “Act like we’ve arrived, still in the moment, still staying hungry.”

Damian Lillard added 12 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Portland, which began a brief East swing. Nicolas Batum also had 12 points.

After a rough first half, the Trail Blazers were much better offensively in the second. They added better defense and pulled away early in the fourth quarter.

“We started to get stops,” Lillard said. “Everything in the first half, they were comfortable and it was simple. We picked it up in the defensive end and made them have to guard more than one thing.”

Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger had 19 points apiece for Boston, which dropped its fifth in six games. Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo each scored 13.

Rondo added eight assists and six rebounds.

“I feel really good about the way we guarded,” Boston coach Brad Stevens said. “I feel like now we have a way that we can point to or a game that we can point to that we did it against a good team.”

Green agreed.

“I believe we played great,” he said. “We put ourselves in a position to win the game.”

The game was tied at 72-all after three quarters before the Trail Blazers took charge with a 17-5 run to start the fourth.

Wesley Matthews and Lillard each hit a 3-pointer just over a minute apart.

Boston missed 12 of its first 14 shots in the quarter.

The Celtics made a brief spurt, closing it to 92-88 on consecutive 3s by Bradley and Sullinger with 90 seconds to go, but they were unable to make shots in the final minute.

Portland shot just 35.4 percent in the opening half, but started 6 of 7 in the second and took their first lead of the game at 59-57 on Aldridge’s layup.

The teams were then tied five times in the final 4 minutes of the third.

Before the game. Portland coach Terry Stotts talked about his team needing to stop its habit of slow starts. It didn’t happen, as the Trail Blazers missed 12 of their first 13 shots from the floor and fell behind by 10 midway into the second quarter.

TIP-INS Trail Blazers: It was just the fourth road game of the season for the Blazers. They’ve played nine at home, winning eight to help them get off to a great start this season. Stotts knows a short trip with three games in the East could be tough. “It’s part of the NBA. Going West to East is a challenge,” he said. ... G C.J. McCollum missed his second straight with a fractured right index finger.

Oregon QB turns focus to the Civil War after win ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press‌

‌E UGENE — Marcus Mariota says he hasn’t made up his mind about what he’s doing next season. It really doesn’t matter because there’s still plenty of work to do this season.

The first item on the agenda of the Oregon quarterback is the Civil War rivalry game next Saturday against Oregon State.

The Ducks (10-1, 7-1) remained No. 3 in the AP Top 25 on Sunday following their 44-10 victory against Colorado. Oregon is No. The Associated Press‌ 2 in the College Football Playoff Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota runs for a touchdown during the first quarter rankings, which could put the against Colorado on Saturday.

Ducks in the semifinals if they

beat the Beavers and win the Pac12 championship game.

The Ducks have clinched the North’s spot in the league championship, but the South has yet to shake out. If UCLA beats Stanford on Friday, the Bruins will face Oregon on Dec. 5 in Santa Clara, California.

So following the victory over the Buffaloes, Mariota politely answered questions about what may have been his last game at Autzen Stadium. But he kept pointing back to what remains this season.

“This is a good step forward,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of games left. We can’t get caught up in the moment.”

Mariota’s been through this before: He decided following last season to come back for his redshirt junior year. Now he’s considered a Heisman Trophy frontrunner, and the Ducks are looking as if they’ll still be playing in January.

With four touchdowns against the Buffaloes, Mariota set the Pac-12 single-season record for total touchdowns, topping Matt Barkley’s previous mark of 41.

Mariota has thrown for 32 touchdowns, run for nine and caught another this season.

ASHLAND — The ‌ Southern Oregon University football team advanced to the NAIA quarterfinals by beating visiting M idAmerica Nazarene 44-26 on Saturday.

The Raiders now face Carroll College for the third time in 2014 this coming weekend in Helena, Mont.

No. 8 Southern Oregon and top-ranked Carroll split their two games during the regular season.

“To be honest, I’m kind of excited that we get the opportunity to go against them again,” senior linebacker Heston Altenbach said. “The series this year is tied up 1-1. Since I started playing them, it’s 2-2.”

Altenbach, who graduated from Coquille, had 13 tackles in Saturday’s win, including one on a thirddown play to stall the first possession for MidAmerica Nazarene.

That led to a field goal to get Southern Oregon started on the way to its victory. Later in the first quarter, JJ Latu made the Pioneers pay for an offsides penalty on a kickoff after their first field goal, returning the ensuing kick 85 yards for a touchdown and a 17-3 lead.

MidAmerica Nazarene rallied to tie the game with 30 seconds to go in the second quarter, but the Raiders drove into field goal range and Aldrick Rojas converted for a 20-17 lead.

The second half was all Southern Oregon as

Raiders quarterback Austin Dodge set another NAIA career record, this one for completions. He now has 1,169 completions.

Dodge finished the night 23-for-35 for 311 yards with three touchdowns. One of those, to Dylan Young, made Young the Southern Oregon leader in career touchdown receptions.

Dodge connected with brothers Matt and Ryan Ratliff a combined 14 times for 200 yards. Each had a touchdown reception, with Matt’s diving score on the first possession of the third quarter helping the Raiders pull away.

Once the Raiders had a cushion, Sean Tow went to work on the ground. He had nearly all of his 124 yards in the second half.

Altenbach is looking ahead to the third game with Carroll.

The Raiders beat the Saints 38-35 in Ashland and Carroll won 42-40 on its home field.

“We’re excited we get another chance at them, and we’re still playing football during Thanksgiving,” he said. “That’s a big thing for us.”

This week’s game is at noon, Pacific standard time.

Linfield 55, Chapman 24: The Wildcats scored the game’s first 35 points and rolled to the home win in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

P l ay i n g w i t h h eav y hearts after the death of team member Parker Moore a week earlier, the Wildcats rolled up 506 yards in total offense.

Quarterback Sam Riddle completed 22 of 36 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns — two scores each to Charlie Poppen and Evan Peterson.

Linfield will visit Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas, in the second round this weekend.

The national event at Sioux City, Iowa, is Dec. 2-6.

Setter Lauren McGowne, a sophomore from Marshfield High School, had 22 assists.

Hamilton wins Formula One title THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — British driver Lewis Hamilton clinched his second Formula One title in style with victory at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, with title rival Nico Rosberg drifting out of contention after failing to recover from a poor start.

Hamilton, the 2008 F1 champion, entered the race with a 17-point lead over his Mercedes rival Rosberg, needing only a top-two finish to guarantee the title.

Rosberg started from pole position and, with double points on offer, could have taken his first F1 title with a win providing Hamilton finished third.

That dream scenario lasted three seconds—the time it took Hamilton to overtake Rosberg, whose race turned into a nightmare.

Brazilian driver Felipe Massa crossed the line in second place ahead of his Williams teammate Valtteri Bottas.

Oklahoma freshman Pacquiao pounds Algieri sets rushing mark‌ in welterweight fight‌ MACAU — Manny Pacquiao got the big knockdowns he desperately craved, battering Chris Algieri around the ring Sunday on his way to a decision win in a lopsided welterweight title fight.

Pacquiao chased Algieri from the opening bell, knocking him down repeatedly and dominating from the opening bell. About the only thing Pacquiao didn’t get was his first knockout in five years, settling instead for a lopsided 12-round decision against an opponent who seemed unwilling to engage.

By the time it was over, Algieri had gone down six times. And Pacquiao had a signature win that should put to rest the idea he’s declining and maybe even set up a fight next year with Floyd Mayweather Jr. COLLEGE FOOTBALL‌

NORMAN, Okla. — It took Samaje Perine less than a full season to go from Oklahoma’s fourthstring running back to the NCAA single-game rushing record.

A week after Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon ended LaDanian Tomlinson’s 15-year-old record for rushing yards in a game, Perine rewrote the Football Bowl Subdivision record book once again with his remarkable 427-yard performance in a 44-7 win over Kansas on Saturday.

Perine, from Pflugerville, Texas, is only the second freshman in Oklahoma history to record three 200-yard rushing performances—tying Sooners great Adrian Peterson. He also had five touchdowns in the game, giving him 19 for the season and moving him ahead of Peterson (15) for the most in a season by a freshman.

More significantly, he topped Gordon’s week-old mark of 408 yards on the ground. Perine did it on a 42-yard scamper early in

the fourth quarter, his 34th and final carry of the game.

Federer leads Swiss to Davis Cup‌title LILLE, France—Roger Federer defeated Richard Gasquet 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in the first reverse singles match as Switzerland won the Davis Cup final against France by taking an unassailable 3-1 lead.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion gave Switzerland its first title in the team competition and added the only big trophy in tennis missing from his collection.

The 33-year-old Federer and Stan Wawrinka had put Switzerland into a 2-1 lead Saturday with a straight sets defeat of Gasquet and Julien Benneteau in the doubles.

Federer was thrashed by Gael Monfils in his first singles match after struggling with a bad back but recovered as the weekend progressed and did not face a break point on Sunday.

Armour wins playoff at Pebble Beach‌ PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.— Tommy Armour III made a 4-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole for a oneshot victory over Lee Janzen at the Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational on Sunday.

Armour III, who won the event for the third time in its 43-year history, had a final-round 67 for a 14-under 274. He began the final round trailing Janzen, the two-time U.S. Open champion, by two shots.

The co-leader after three rounds with Andrew Putnam, Janzen finished with a 69.

Armour III made a 17-foot putt on the 18th hole of regulation to match Janzen at 14 under. Janzen had just made a 30-foot birdie from the front fringe.

Kevin Sutherland, the 2000 winner of the tournament that features 83 pros from the four major tours as well as mini tour players and club pros, finished alone in third at 10 under after a 67.

Ko caps amazing rookie year with $1 million bonus DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press‌

‌NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — The biggest challenge facing Lydia Ko is how she can top a rookie season like this one.

The 17-year-old from New Zealand sat next to a pair of crystal trophies Sunday evening. At her feet was a glass box that was stuffed with cash to symbolize the $1 million bonus she picked up on an historic end to the LPGA Tour season.

She was an instant millionaire when she closed with a 4-under 68 to get into a three-way playoff in the CME Group Tour Championship. She already had finished high enough to clinch the inaugural “Race to CME Globe” and its $1 million bonus.

AP

Lydia Ko of New Zealand carries her trophy on hole 18 after winning the CME Group Tour Championship, Sunday, Nov. 23, 2014, at the Tiburon Golf Club at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla. Then, she collected another trophy by winning the Tour Championship with a par on the fourth extra hole to pick up an extra $500,000. Only the

tournament earnings count toward the money list, and it made Ko the first rookie to surpass $2 million in a year.

A s a n a m a te u r, h e r

mother used to give her $10 for every shot she finished under par. Ko won twice on the LPGA Tour as an amateur, and she made her pro debut last year at the Tour Championship by earning $16,063.

So to leave town with $1.5 million in one day was a little difficult to digest.

“It’s huge money, you know?” Ko said. “Even $1,000 is huge money. For us, $100 is huge money.

So it’s getting bigger. But the great things about my friends is most of them don’t play golf. When I’m hanging around with them, we don’t talk about golf or the hook I hit on 7 or whatever. So that’s what I really love. I feel like I can get off the course, get my mind free and just be that teenager.”

On the golf course, she looks like a world beater.

Ko already has five LPGA Tour victories, and she’s still not old enough to legally drink the champagne that players sprayed on her when she won. She heads back to New Zealand for a two-month offseason before figuring out what she can do next.

“It’s going to be tough,” she said. “I think I played pretty awesome this year.

I’ve had 14 top 10s and three wins. It’s a year that I would have never thought I would have. It’s hard year to top.

Just playing consistently is my goal for my whole career.”

She was consistent on Sunday, especially in the playoff held on the 425-yard 18th hole, which yielded

only four birdies in the final round.

Ko left it to the others to blink first, outlasting Julieta Granada of Paraguay and Carlota Ciganda of Spain in the playoff.

The top three players — Stacy Lewis, Inbee Park and Ko — only had to win the tournament to assure themselves the $1 million bonus.

Lewis never had much of a chance and tied for ninth.

Park was four shots worse and tied for 24th.

Lewis did not leave empty-handed.

She became the first American in 21 years to sweep the three most significant awards on the LPGA Tour — player of the year, the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average and the money title.

Huskies beat Beavers with big plays Seahawks bounce CURTIS CRABTREE Associated Press‌

‌S EATTLE (AP) — The momentum of Oregon State’s upset victory last week disappeared quickly against Washington.

The Beavers allowed touchdowns of 54 and 68 yards in the first 11 minutes of the game and found themselves trailing 17-0 early in the second quarter and never recovered in a 37-13 loss to Washington on Saturday night.

Jaydon Mickens caught a 54-yard touchdown on Washington’s first drive and added a 36-yard TD run in the fourth quarter and the Huskies became bowl eligible with their seventh victory.

After upsetting Arizona State a week ago, Oregon State (5-6, 2-6 Pac-12) needed one victory in its final two games to become bowl eligible.

Now, the Beavers need an upset victory over No. 3 Oregon next week to reach bowl eligibility. The Beavers lost for the fifth time in six games.

“It started off badly for us,” coach Mike Riley said.

“We gave up big plays defensively, a couple big plays in the first half.”

Mickens beat man coverage to haul in the long TD toss from Cyler Miles on Washington’s opening possession to give the Huskies (7-5, 3-5) the early lead. A blown defense

by Oregon State allowed Dwayne Washington to romp for his longest run since last season against Oregon State and the Beavers were quickly facing a 14-0 deficit.

“We shot ourselves

The Associated Press‌

Washington’s Jaydon Mickens scores ahead of Oregon State’s Obum Gwacham in the second half Saturday. in the foot and credit to Washington that they capitalized on that and made those big plays,” safety Ryan Murphy said.

The Beavers were without leading rusher Terron Ward, who suffered a knee injury last week against Arizona State and finished with 47 yards rushing as a team, the fourth time this season being held under 60 yards. Sean Mannion was 30 of 46 for 314 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Jordan Villamin, but was sacked four times.

“I don’t think it was the kind of thing where we were going to score every drive,” Mannion said. “We knew that coming into it.

It was going to be a game where we were going to have to keep battling.”

Dwayne Washington finished with 100 yards on 14 carries. Washington quarterback Cyler Miles was 18 of 23 for 253 yards and two TDs in one of his most efficient performances of the season.

Miles found Mickens early and hit Darrell Daniels on a 68-yard TD in the fourth

quarter.

Miles finished with a passer rating of 199.4, the highest of his career.

“He was very dialed in to where he was going with the ball,” Washington coach Chris Petersen said. “He was seeing well and throwing accurately.

I thought he was as comfortable as he has been all season.”

Down 17-0 and backed up to his own 5-yard line, Mannion hooked up with Victor Boldin for a 72-yard gain on third-and-25 to get the Beavers offense moving. Four plays later, Mannion hit Villamin for a 9-yard score to put Oregon State on the board before halftime.

The momentum appeared to be turning the Beavers’ way with a three-and-out by Washington to open the second half. Rahmel Dockery’s 46-yard catch from Mannion quickly moved Oregon State back into Washington territory with a chance to pull within one score, but Mannion was intercepted by Travis

Feeney on the very next play.

“I was really excited about the opportunity we had at that time and it was a big play by them, bad play by us.” Riley said. “We really had a great opportunity to get right back in the game.”

A pair of field goals

by Cameron Van Winkle pushed the game back out of reach for Oregon State.

“Honestly, I thought (Feeney) made a hell of a play personally,” Mannion said. “...But ultimately I’m the one responsible for the ball and it’s something that was a big play for them in the game.”

The Beavers got a break late in the third when Dwayne Washington fumbled at the Huskies 29.

Oregon State needed four plays and Mannion found Villamin for his second TD. The 2-point conversion failed and Washington’s lead was down to 23-13.

But the Huskies answered with a six-play, 62-yard drive capped by Mickens taking a fly sweep 36 yards for his first touchdown rushing of the season. Mickens appeared to step out around the 15 but the call stood on replay.

“I think that game is a lot closer than the final sco re i n d i ca te d to o,” Mannion said. “I think that a couple times when we were in plus territory we were a play away from extending a drive. I think that game, at least it feels to me, much closer than the final score indicated.

Our guys fought hard. We battled to the very end and you’ve got to be proud of that.”

“We just had to step up,” Joe Rutheford, the anchor of North Bend’s line, said. “We had to go out and blow our hearts on the field.”

Over the next five minutes, Luke Lucero went from junior running back to North Bend legend.

Lucero finished with two touchdowns, one running and one receiving that, coincidentally, both went for 68 yards, but his two biggest plays came in the final two minutes.

After North Bend was held out of the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line, Mazama quarterback Dallas Devry threw his fourth and final pass of the game, the ball landing in the chest of Lucero.

O n t h e n ex t d r ive , Lucero spurted through the Vikings’ line and had an open road to the end zone. At the 1-yard line, he made a right angle and stayed out of the end zone, remaining in bounds to keep the clock running.

“There was just a hole there so I shot through it and then flopped on the ground,” he said. “I just kind of went down and waited to get tackled.”

Lucero finished with 144 yards on 10 carries and the score on the ground, but it was the single yard he didn’t gain that was the most impressive.

“That’s all on him,”

makes it look sometimes,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. “What he’s doing is really difficult.

His decision making, competitiveness, his command of the team is so outstanding. It’s great to be around him because he makes you want to work harder as a coach. The other guys feed off of him.”

The Bulldogs celebrate Saturday night in Cottage Grove after beating Mazama High School 41-40 to advance to the Class 4A state championship game next Saturday.

Prince said. “We were screaming ‘No, don’t go in, don’t go in.’

“That was just a smart, heads-up play by a good football player who knows the game.“ North Bend was in victory formation a few seconds later.

Lucero’s final run was a proverbial dose of the Vikings’ own medicine.

Mazama ran all over North Bend with its wishbone offense, especially in the first half, going for 303 yards on the ground and 8.2 yards per tote.

By the end of the game, three Vikings — Lancaster, Anthony Hanseth and Donneal Hyde — all crossed the century mark. “ We s ta r te d f i l l i n g gaps more,” Rutheford said about how North Bend started to stymy the Viking run attack in the second half. “Doing what we needed to do to win.”

The game was backand-forth the entire way and was pretty simple sc h e m a t i ca l ly : No r t h

Bend was going to make Mazama stop its passing attack and the Vikings were going to force the Bulldogs to stuff their run.

North Bend’s 41 points was nearly three times more points than Mazama has given up in a single game all year (14) and almost six times more than their average (7.8).

Besides Matthews and the Luceros, Levi Rider caught a 27-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter for North Bend.

“It’s the passing game,” Hyde said, adding the Bulldogs’ offense was the best they’ve seen all year.

“Their quarterback-andreceiver combo is really effective. Once one of their receivers got open, their quarterback could just pin him.”

Cam Lucero and the receivers will get another chance to impress this coming Saturday in the championship game against Gladstone. Kickoff is at 5 p.m. at Hillsboro Stadium.

The Gladiators beat Scappoose 27-26 on Saturday in overtime — Gladstone’s second straight OT win in the playoffs.

Prince said he knew of Gladstone’s offense (wing-T), and the fact they have a new coach (Jon Jedrykowski) and a great running back (Handsome Smith).

Smith had more than 100 yards both rushing and receiving and scored the winning touchdown in overtime for Gladstone, which then stopped a two-point attempt after Scappoose scored on its possession in the extra session.

The state final will be a battle of the two topseeded teams in Class 4A, and with both teams coming in with identical 11-0 records, the Bulldogs know Saturday’s celebration has to be short-lived.

“Our road to winning the blue trophy is still going,” Matthews said.

“We got one more week to get that done.”

least 9,000 yards and rush for 2,000 or more yards in a career. The others on the list are Dan LeFevour, Robert Griffin III, Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow. Mariota and LeFevour are the only two to reach the milestone in less than four seasons.

To mark the possibility that Saturday’s game was Mariota’s last in Eugene, Oregon sent him in for one final snap to start the fourth quarter against Colorado before handing the game to Jeff Lockie.

That gave Mariota his (maybe) final Autzen ovation.

“I can’t thank the fans enough. That was really

cool at the end of the game to have that,” Mariota said.

“We’ll see what else the future entails, I’m not too sure. But I’m very thankful.”

Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre thinks Oregon is the best team in the nation, mostly because of Mariota.

“I don’t care what anybody says because he’s the best quarterback in the nation. When you have the best quarterback with the talent they’ve got and the defense, they’ve got a chance to be really, really really good,” MacIntyre said. “I hope they go win it all.”

are coming off a 37-13 loss at Washington on Saturday night. Even though the team is last in the Pac-12 North, Oregon State proved it is dangerous with a 35-27 upset of then-No. 7 Arizona State two weekends ago.

Last season, the Beavers challenged Oregon in the Civil War, although the Ducks won 36-35 at Autzen Stadium.

“The Civil War’s always a big game. We always talk about taking one game at a time. But we understand it’s a huge part of this community and a huge part of this state,” Mariota said. “To play in it, it’s truly special.”

back with win over Arizona Cardinals The Associated Press ‌Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks did some soul searching before their showdown with the Arizona Cardinals.

Whatever the defending Super Bowl champions said to each other, it appears to have worked.

Wilson found backup tight end Cooper Helfet for a 20-yard, catch-and-run touchdown late in the third quarter, Steven Hauschka kicked four field goals and the Seahawks handed the Cardinals their second loss of the season, 19-3 on Sunday. “ I t’s a s p e c i a l w i n because we did it together,” safety Earl Thomas said.

“For the first time this year, I think we played for pure reasons, for no motives attached. That’s what you love about this team: We can put our egos aside and we can admit when we’re wrong. Guys stayed true.”

Seattle won for the fourth time in five games, putting aside the missed chances from last week’s loss in Kansas City and announcing the Seahawks ( 7- 4 ) a re n ’t d o n e by knocking off the leagueleading Cardinals (9-2).

The Cardinals still have the NFC’s best record, but they were held to a seasonlow 204 total yards as their six-game winning streak ended. A week after throwing for a career-high 306 yards, Drew Stanton was 14 of 26 for 149 and one interception.

“If you don’t catch, tackle, kick, you can’t win,” coach Bruce Arians said. “We didn’t do any of the four.”

Arizona is now tied with New England for the NFL’s best overall record.

Patriots 34, Lions 9: Tom Brady threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns as the Patriots stretched their winning streak to seven games with a victory over Detroit.

Us i n g a pa ss - h eav y offense against the NFL’s stingiest rushing defense, the Patriots led 24-6 at halftime as Brady repeatedly found wide-open receivers while the Lions struggled on offense. For the second straight game, Detroit failed to score a touchdown.

New E n g l a n d ( 9 -2 ) routed a division leader for the third consecutive game, following wins over Denver and Indianapolis. Detroit (7-4) lost for the second straight week against a conference leader after falling to Arizona 14-6 last Sunday.

L e G a r re t te B l o u n t rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns three days after signing with New England after being cut

by Pittsburgh. In the win over the Colts, the Patriots stuck with the running game as Jonas Gray rushed 37 times for 201 yards and four touchdowns. After being sent home from Friday’s practice for reporting late, he didn’t play at all on Sunday.

Broncos 39, Dolphins 36: At Denver, Peyton Manning threw three of his four TD passes to Demaryius Thomas, and C.J. Anderson ran for 167 yards and the go-ahead score in the Broncos’ win over the Miami Dolphins.

Manning became the third player in NFL history with touchdown passes in 50 consecutive games, joining Drew Brees (54) and Tom Brady (52). He completed 28 of 35 passes for 257 yards and no interceptions on a cool Colorado evening.

Browns 26, Falcons 24: At Atlanta, Brian Hoyer shook off three interceptions, leading the Cleveland Browns down the field in the final minute to set up Billy Cundiff’s 37-yard field goal as time expired.

Taking advantage of the last of Hoyer’s picks, the Falcons drove for Matt Bryant’s 53-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining to seize the lead. But Hoyer completed four straight passes, the last of them to

the Falcons 19, and spiked the ball with 5 seconds left. Cundiff trotted on and made his fourth field goal of the game for the Browns (7-4).

Cleveland was bolstered by the return of Josh Gordon, who had eight catches fo r 1 2 0 ya rd s a ga i n s t Atlanta (4-7). The Falcons dropped to 0-7 against teams outside the division.

Cowboys 31 Giants 28: At East Rutherford, New Jersey, Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Dez Bryant, the winner from 13 yards with 1:01 remaining, lifting the Dallas Cowboys to a comeback victory over the New York Giants.

Thanks to Odell Beckham Jr.’s spectacular onehanded TD catch, one of the rookie’s two first-half touchdowns, New York built a 21-10 halftime lead.

But the Giants lost their sixth straight and were eliminated from division contention.

Packers 24, Vikings 21: At Minneapolis, Eddie Lacy rushed for 125 yards on 25 carries, both season highs to help Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (8-3) hang on against the Minnesota Vikings.

Lacy scored twice, on a run in the first quarter and a catch in the fourth.

Then, he rumbled through the line for two first downs to drain the clock after the Vikings (4-7) cut the lead to three with 3:23 remaining.

Eagles 43, Titans 24: Philadelphia’s Josh Huff re t u r n e d t h e o p e n i n g kickoff 107 yards, LeSean McCoy ran for 130 yards and the Eagles (8-3) beat the Tennessee Titans (2-9) at home.

Huff’s return was the longest in franchise history and the 10th non-offensive touchdown for the Eagles (8-3) this season.

Mark Sanchez threw for 307 yards and one touchdown in his third start for the injured Nick Foles. He has 300 yards passing in three straight games, tying a team record.

Bengals 22, Texans 13: At Houston, Andy Dalton threw for 233 yards and a touchdown and A.J. Green had 121 yards receiving on a career-high 12 receptions to give the Cincinnati Bengals (7-3-1) a win (5-6).

Ro o k i e Je re m y H i l l scored on a 2-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter after an interception by Ryan Mallett for Cincinnati’s only touchdown of the second half.

Colts 23, Jaguars 3: T.Y. Hilton celebrated the birth of his first child with a 73-yard TD catch, spurring a second-half turnaround that allowed Indianapolis (7-4) to pull away from Jacksonville (1-10) at home.

Andrew Luck was 21 of 32 for 253 yards with one score, but his streak of consecutive 300-yard games ended at eight — one short of Drew Brees’ NFL record.

Bears 21, Buccaneers 13: Matt Forte rushed for two touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Chicago Bears (5-6) beat former coach Lovie Smith and the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-9).

Chargers 27, Rams 24: At San Diego, Marcus Gilchrist intercepted Shaun Hill at the goal line with 56 seconds left to preserve the Chargers’ victory against the St. Louis Rams (4-7) that helped tighten the AFC West race.

49ers 17, Redskins 13: At Santa Clara, California, Carlos Hyde ran for a goahead 4-yard touchdown with 2:59 remaining, and the San Francisco 49ers (7-4) barely squeaked by the lowly Washington Redskins (3-8).
