Holiday Lights ready for Thanksgiving opening LOU SENNICK The World‌

‌CHARLESTON — You can tell the holidays have arrived when Shore Acres twinkles. Last year, there were more than 48,000 visitors to the annual Holiday Light show at Shore Acres State Park. Starting in 1987, the Friends of Shore Acres started putting up a few strings of lights in the park to celebrate Christmas.

According to the park’s website, they now have more than 300,000 lights, holiday trees decorated by local groups, lighted sculptures and a few light animations. The Gardener’s House is decorated with Christmas themes in all the rooms. It is also where volunteers pass out cups of hot cider and cookies. It all opens to the public Thanksgiving night and each night through Dec. 31. Hours are 4-9:30 p.m., with a $5 admission charge per vehicle or the appropriate annual pass.

‌BANDON — They’ve been through career changes, a world war and the birth of their three children together and now Bandon residents Steve and Jean Lunt have another milestone to mark. It’s their 70th wedding anniversary. The couple, now in their nineties, met very young in their native San Francisco when Steve was just 20 and Jean a tender 17. After living in the Bay Area, Texas, Seattle and Ashland, the two eventually settled in to their Bandon beach property in 2000 where they now call home.

‌C OOS BAY — The Coos Bay Planning Commission has green-lighted O’Reilly Auto Parts to proceed with the next phase of its new proposed store. The company intends to demolish the current building at 1165 Evans Blvd. and replace it with a pre-engineered metal building as part of its plans for the new 8,075-square-foot store. The property was previously the site of Carl’s Jr. and Arby’s restaurants. As part of the approval process, the auto parts store had to agree to an additional set of conditions set forth by the planning commission. The store is required to pave two 12-foot lanes on South Front Street from U.S. Highway 101 to the southern property limits in addition to placing “right-in right-out” signage at the entrance on the highway. Because the new proposed store sits in a floodplain, it is subject to Flood Damage Prevention standards. Earlier this week, the store submitted a commercial floodplain application along with commercial structural, commercial site development, commercial curb cut and right of way use permit applications. While concerns were raised regarding the impact on traffic with regards to deliveries, the store intends to schedule all deliveries after hours to mitigate any potential traffic headaches for motorists and neighboring businesses. With the loading dock located in the southeast section of the building, the commission thought it would be difficult to navigate a truck through such a narrow passage way. However, the auto parts store submitted a truck route to the architects so the drivers will be fully prepared to make deliveries. The new store will join the company’s other existing store at 2031 Newmark Ave. in North Bend. eporter Devan Patel can be R reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 249, or by email at devan. patel@theworldlink.com.

— likely presidential candidates among them — described immigration reform as little more than an afterthought. “This issue is probably not in the top 10 of most voters in America,” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is considering a 2016 White House bid, said alongside nodding colleagues at the Republican Governors Association annual conference in Florida. Walker dismissed the Democratic president’s order that

shields as many as five million immigrants from deportation as a trap designed to divert attention “from the real issues in this country.” The comments reflect a dramatic shift among some GOP leaders emboldened by this month’s midterm success just as the next presidential contest gets underway.

‌N ORTH BEND — The mayor and three councilors were sworn into the North Bend City Council on Tuesday, and a council president was elected. City recorder Joann Thompson swore in Mayor Rick Wetherell and councilors Larry Garboden, Bill Richardson and newcomer Pat Goll.

On Nov. 4, Garboden and Richardson were reelected to their seats, while Pat Goll beat incumbent Barry H aye s. We t h e re l l ra n uncontested. Wetherell said he is excited to see what the council will bring to the city in the future. He said that while Hayes did an excellent job as a councilor, Goll will be a great addition, and he’s known Goll a long time.

“Mr. Goll used to furnish my family Christmas tree when he was in junior high,” Wetherell said. “For a box of shotgun shells, he’d bring me a Christmas tree.” For Goll, it was important to thank the citizens who voted for him, and he was ecstatic to be sitting on the council. “I’m going to go to my grave trying to be a darn good councilman,” Goll said.

The council also voted to elect Richardson as the council president. The council president takes the place of the mayor when he is absent or if he can no longer perform the duties as the mayor. eporter Kurtis Hair can be R reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 240, or by email at kurtis.hair@theworldlink.com.

Did you know?

Did you know that there were no dentists on the Mayflower when the Pilgrims came to America? It’s true! When the Mayflower landed in 1620 there were no dentists on board. The first barber dentists arrived in 1630, and began helping the Pilgrims by pulling the teeth that had not been cared for in ten years. Soon blacksmiths were helping with dentistry too. What a job! We’ve come a long way! With excellent dental care from Dr. Strong, you will protect your teeth, look great, and feel even better. With dental implants, you can now keep your smile for a lifetime!

Opinion

theworldlink.com/news/opinion

We have much to be thankful for Our view Despite our struggles, we on the South Coast have many blessings to count.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

‌Today we celebrate our uniquely American holiday, the day of Thanksgiving. In few other places in this state and this nation is today needed more sorely than here on the South Coast. We don’t have it easy here. We’ve been stair-stepping down from an unemployment high of more than 14 percent in March 2009 to about half that now, and it hasn’t been an easy descent. Too many families still struggle to make ends meet, and our cities and counties tap reserve funds and still can’t provide the levels of service we need.

Living here is definitely hard. How hard? Earlier this year the New York Times crunched some figures to compare U.S. counties in terms of income, educational level, unemployment, life expectancy, obesity and percentage on disability (but not on Social Security). Out of 3,135 counties, Coos came in near the bottom of the list at 2,379. Neighboring Curry and Douglas counties, with a slightly higher median income and educational levels and lower disability levels, ranked higher – Curry at 1,881 and Douglas at 2,228.

Sobering statistics. But, we shouldn’t feel sad for ourselves. We have collectively overcome a ruinous recession and now, with a newly revived economic development effort, are finally putting true effort and resources into an economic recovery that makes sense and provides for those businesses and industries already here and needing help. We live in one of the most beautiful spots in America, surrounded by ocean and forests. People want to visit and spend their money, again and again. And we have a convention and visitor bureau

that’s always coming up with new ideas to show off our attractions. And we have a bold cadre of entrepreneurs – from store owners and ship builders to cranberry farmers and ranchers – who are forging ahead with innovation and enthusiasm. We’ve chronicled their stories on these pages in the past, and there are a lot more stories about them to come in the future. The South Coast may be a hard place to live. But most of us made the conscious choice to be here, and we have much to be thankful for.

Thanks for property rights ‌This Thanksgiving, I give thanks for something our forebears gave us: property rights. People associate property rights with greed and selfishness, but they are keys to our prosperity. Things go wrong when resources are held in common. Before the Pilgrims were able to hold the first Thanksgiving, they nearly starved. Although they had inherited ideas about individualism and property from the English and Dutch trading empires, they tried communism when they arrived in the New World. They decreed that each family would get an equal share of food, no matter how much work they did. The results were disastrous. Gov. William Bradford wrote, “Much was stolen both John by night and day.” The STOSSEL same plan in Jamestown contributed to Columnist starvation, cannibalism and death of half the population. So Bradford decreed that families should instead farm private plots. That quickly ended the suffering. Bradford wrote that people now “went willingly into the field.” Soon, there was so much food that the Pilgrims and Indians could celebrate Thanksgiving. There’s nothing like competition and self-interest to bring out the best in people. While property among the settlers began as an informal system, with “tomahawk rights” to land indicated by shaving off bits of surrounding trees, or “corn rights” indicated by growing corn, soon settlers were keeping track of contracts, filing deeds and, alas, hiring lawyers to sue each other. Property rights don’t end all conflict, but they create a better system for settling disputes than physical combat. In Brazil today, rain forests are destroyed because no one really owns them. Loggers take as many trees as they can because they know if they don’t, someone else will. No one had much reason to preserve trees or plant new ones for future harvests; although recently, some private conservation groups bought parcels of the Amazon in order to protect trees. The oceans are treated as a commons, and they are difficult to privatize. For years, lack of ownership led to over-fishing. Species will go extinct if they aren’t treated as property. Now a few places award fishing rights to private groups of fishermen. Canada privatized its Pacific fisheries, saving the halibut from near collapse. When fishermen control fishing rights, they care about preserving fish. Think about your Thanksgiving turkey. We eat tons of them, but no one worries that turkeys will go extinct. We know there will be more next year, since people profit from owning and raising them. Hernando de Soto (the contemporary Peruvian economist, not the Spanish conquistador) writes about the way clearly defined property rights spur growth in the developing world. Places without clear property rights — much of the third world — suffer. Without deeds, they can’t make contracts with confidence. Economic activity that cannot be legally protected instead gets done on the black market, or on “gray markets” in a murky legal limbo in between. In places such as Tanzania, says de Soto, 90 percent of the economy operates outside the legal system. So, few people expand homes or businesses. Poor people stay poor. This holiday season, give thanks for property rights and hope that your family will never have to relearn the economic lesson that nearly killed the Pilgrims.

Webster defined Thanksgiving for us all ‌In a nation with fewer and fewer shared experiences, one remains resilient, rich and redolent of memory. Thanksgiving is our most beloved American holiday, and its story — about grace and gratitude, played out on a wilderness tableau of brotherhood — is a venerated part of our national narrative. Its treasured place in our country’s life — a cultural oddity: a huge meal served at mid-afternoon on a Thursday — is sometimes traced to the vision of Pilgrim leaders Myles Standish and William Bradford; or to the generosity of the Wampanoags, the native people who lived along Massachusetts Bay; or to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, who established Thanksgiving David in the national calendar; SHRIBMAN or even to Norman Rockwell, whose 1943 “FreeColumnist dom From Want” painting established enduring notions of how a family Thanksgiving feast should look. But the real hero of Thanksgiving may be a former congressman whose speech two centuries after the Mayflower landed at Plymouth seared the word “Pilgrims” into the American conscience, reshaped their passage from Europe to America into a national parable, and transformed the 1621 feast of plenty into a feast of patriotism and optimism. It took Daniel Webster — later a Whig senator and twice the nation’s secretary of state — one hour and 50 minutes to change, forever, the way we regard the Plymouth settlers and the way we mark

the Thanksgiving they celebrated. He did it without any sense of mission, and without notes. There was a time, beyond the memory of this year’s Thanksgiving celebrants, when every American schoolchild read Webster’s speech, first printed in a slim, handsome 104-page volume carrying the simple title “Discourse.” Though the speech gave shape to the holiday we mark Thursday, hardly anyone reads it today. But these remarks, from perhaps the greatest American practitioner of the lost art of oratory, retain great power — and great wisdom. On only the second page of the 1821 edition appears this insight, which possesses the rhythm and endurance of an epigram: “We live in the past by a knowledge of its history; and in the future by hope and anticipation.” In that one sentence, delivered on a clear, mild day by a man in black silk stockings and buckled shoes, is the story of an entire nation, inspired by a daring past and leaning toward an audacious future. Daniel Webster’s speech had an instant effect, especially on those who witnessed it. “I was never so excited by public speaking before in my life,” said Harvard’s George Ticknor, very likely the greatest American mind of the age. “Three or four times I thought my temples would burst with the gush of blood.” Ticknor said he was afraid even to venture near Webster after the speech. “It seemed to me as if he were like the mount that might not be touched, and that burned with fire.” Webster’s remarks were sprinkled with references to the Pilgrims, “weary and distressed, broken in every thing but spirit, poor in all but faith and courage,” explaining that “when they saw these shores,

rough, cold, barbarous and barren, as then they were, they beheld their country” — a country where, he argued in another passage, “some advancement has been made in the elegant, as well as in the useful arts.” Toward the end of his remarks, delivered only 13 years after Congress banned the African slave trade and only about nine months after the Missouri Compromise, he undertook a digression about slavery that included this admonition: “It is not fit that the land of the Pilgrims should bear the shame longer.” In that sentence there are only two words of more than one syllable, and one of them is “Pilgrims.” That was indicative of the Webster style. “He appreciated the magic of simple words, fraught with the connotation lent by ages of human experience,” Claude M. Fuess wrote in his two-volume 1930 Webster biography. Indeed, there was magic in his Plymouth Oration, and in this passage, a trumpet-blast conclusion, opening with “Advance, then, ye future generations!” and continuing: We bid you welcome to this pleasant land of the fathers. ... We greet your accession to the great inheritance which we have enjoyed. We welcome you to the blessings of good government and religious liberty. We welcome you to the treasures of science and the delights of learning. Kenneth Shewmaker, one of the editors of the Webster Papers, noted that Webster’s speeches often ended important occasions rather than opened them. “No one,” Shewmaker said the other day, “wanted to speak after him.” David M. Shribman is executive editor of the (Pittsburgh) Post-Gazette .

I still save and have a tight budget, but now I can spend some money on travel. I have opportunities to travel with friends and do it as often as I can afford. The problem is my brother-in-law and sister love to tease, and they tell everyone that I’m “the rich sister.” Abby, I am far from rich. I have asked them both to stop and told them their Dear teasing bby hurts my feelings — that I simply choose to spend my money differently than they do. Our Jeanne relaPhillips tionship h a s n ow become very strained. I have only one sister and would like to be close to her, but I can’t laugh off their teasing any longer. — HURT TRAVELER DEAR HURT TRAVELER: When people persist in doing — or saying — something after being told it’s hurtful, one has to wonder if it’s not about humor at all. I suspect that your sister and her husband are somewhat jealous over the friendships you have and the adventures you are enjoying. You might be subjected to this less if you become more close-mouthed about what you’re doing and where you’re going. Give it a try. But if the “teasing” continues, tell “Sissy” she’s going to be seeing a lot less of you and then follow through. DEAR ABBY: I’ve been with my second husband for almost five years, married for two. After a year, we became more like roommates than spouses. At one point I caught him kissing a mutual friend in our bathroom. When I confronted them, they assured me it was innocent. Her husband has now confirmed his suspicions with me that something was going on, but there was never any solid proof. My husband enjoys my company, but the lack of affection and my continued suspicion are affecting my self-esteem. The other day I asked him why he married me, and he answered because I was “nice.” He refuses to go to counseling and said he doesn’t want a divorce. I feel like an idiot, but I just don’t want to leave. What is wrong with me? What should I do? — IN LIMBO IN WASHINGTON DEAR IN LIMBO: You will find the answers you need as soon as you decide that, regardless of whether your husband is willing to go to counseling, it’s time for you to go. Having already caught him in a compromising position, you have every right to be suspicious. There’s nothing wrong with you — except perhaps that you are TOO “nice.” You are going to have to decide if living like brother and sister is an arrangement you are willing to live with forever because the relationship you have described isn’t a normal marriage, and the longer it continues, the worse you will feel about yourself.

D I G E S T Oregon GMO labeling recount has Dec. 12 deadline

The Associated Press file photo‌

Vines spill down toward the Willamette Valley at Amity Vineyards in Amity. Oregon is home to some 500 wineries with a growing wine tourism industry and a reputation for good pinot noir.

Mid-Willamette Valley wineries recognized BENNETT HALL

Corvallis Gazette-Times‌

‌CORVALLIS (AP) — Devotees of the Willamette Valley’s world-class pinot noirs and other fine wines speak knowingly about subregions such as the Dundee Hills southwest of Portland or the Eola Hills west of Salem. But nobody’s talking about the mid-valley, the stretch from Monmouth through Corvallis down to Junction City — or, at least, they weren’t. That may be starting to change, thanks to some excellent showings by local producers in recent competitions and a collaborative effort to build a distinctive identity in the increasingly crowded field of Willamette Valley wineries. A half-dozen mid-valley wineries — Lumos Wine Co., Airlie Winery, Tyee Wine Cellars, Spindrift Cellars, Emerson Vineyards and Brigadoon Wine Co. — took home multiple honors in this year’s Oregon Wine Awards, including at least one gold or double gold apiece. And in last month’s edition of Portland Monthly magazine, two mid-valley bottlings made the list of Oregon’s 50 best wines, chosen through a doubleblind taste test of more than 1,000 entries by a panel of experts. Brigadoon’s 2012 Lylee Pinot Noir came in at No. 13, and Tyee did better yet — its 2012 Estate Pinot Noir was named the No. 1 wine in the state. Panelist Savanna Ray, the manager and wine director of Portland’s RingSide Fish House restaurant, had this to say about Tyee’s

top-ranked pinot: “It’s really well made, it’s nicely balanced, it’s light but intense, it’s got this powerful elegance to it. ... There’s something wonderful happening there.”

Spreading the word Mid-valley winemakers are inclined to agree — and they want to make sure the rest of the state gets the word. For Merrilee Buchanan Benson, the winemaker and vineyard manager at Tyee Wine Cellars just south of Corvallis, the award was a form of vindication. “You’re always kind of wondering, do people care? Does anyone appreciate what we’re doing? Yeah, it feels good,” she said. H e r f a t h e r, D a v e Buchanan, who started the winery in 1985 with wife Margy, thinks the recognition is important for the entire area. “We’re producing local grapes here that are just dynamite, they’re breaking the barriers, but a lot of people don’t know it,” he said. “It’s time for the midWillamette Valley to start blowing their horn a bit.” That’s the job of Heart of Willamette Wineries, a group of 16 producers from Benton, Lane and Polk counties that have banded together to market the region as a destination for wine lovers. But that can be a tall order in a state that now boasts some 600 wineries. More than 400 of those are in the Willamette Valley, whose cool, moist climate and sheltering mountain ranges make it well-suited

for producing pinot noir, a full-bodied red wine made famous by the great estates of France’s renowned Burgundy region. While Oregon winemaking is still a relatively young enterprise, dating back less than 50 years, the valley has built a worldwide reputation for producing high-quality pinot noirs as well as other cool-climate grape varieties such as pinot gris, chardonnay and Riesling.

Gaining traction The group has a professional, user-friendly website (heartofwillamette. com) and has been working with Visit Corvallis to promote its members as tourism attractions. The campaign appears to be paying dividends. Johns said his tasting room traffic is up 35 percent over last year, and he’s getting a lot more visitors from the all-important Portland market. Johns sees that as a sign that the mid-valley is starting to carve out its own niche, branding itself as the home of small, unpretentious wineries in off-thebeaten-track locales, where visitors can chat with the owner over a friendly glass of pinot or chardonnay while picking up a few bottles to take home. “We don’t have the snooty tasting rooms and the high tasting fees, and our wines are cheaper than everybody else’s. When you come up here this weekend or next weekend (Thanksgiving is prime time for tasting room visits and bottle sales at all Willamette Valley wineries), you won’t have to stand in line,” he said.

The police spokesman says officers responded shortly after noon Tuesday to reports of two gunshots. Oregon City police and the Clackamas County Major Crimes Team are trying to determine what prompted the gunfire. Paschall says two children, ages 5 and 7, were inside the home. Neither was hurt and both are staying with relatives. Neighbors say the family moved in about a year ago, and had painted and made other renovations to the house. Neighbor Bob Black said he never saw an argument.

‌MERLIN (AP) — Marvin Farthing is just back from a 1,000-mile, solo bike trip to Southern California, a ride around the block for him. “You’re going at 10 or 12 miles an hour. Not only do you get to see everything, but you get to see it for longer,” the 66-year-old building contractor says. “And you’re primarily on secondary roads, so you get to see stuff you don’t necessarily get to see when you’re on the interstate.” Farthing has been biking for 25 years. His longest ride was more than 4,000 miles, all the way from his hometown of Santa Rosa, Calif., to Boston. When the strains of a conventional bicycle became too much, he switched to a recumbent — better resembling a lounge chair on wheels — to ease the load on his body.

He decided on a Rambler, made by Lightfoot Cycles of Darby, Mont., and had the company tweak the bike to his needs. Lightfoot is an interesting tale in itself, starting about half a century ago with Earl Miner, a mechanical designer who developed vehicles for the disabled in his spare time. His hand-powered cycle delivered new mobility to people who had literally dragged themselves through the mud of their impoverished countries after losing legs to land mines or accidents. Miner’s son, Rod, built his first recumbent in 1983. Farthing’s steel-framed Rambler weighs about 30

pounds. Add camping gear, tools and everything else he needs for the long haul, and it’s more like 100 pounds. “When you have all that gear packed on a bike, any bike, people are always interested,” he says, “but especially a recumbent bike, because it’s somewhat unusual. Everybody asks you, ‘Where are you going? What are you doing?’ How many flat tires have you had?’” This latest expedition started Sept. 28 in Crescent City, Calif., He took his time, averaging 40 to 50 miles a day along the coast, over to Santa Rosa to visit family and friends, and then back to the coast

at San Francisco. The wind and fog he had endured up to then gave way to sunshine all the way to his final destination: Laguna Beach, Calif., where his son, Jason, lives. “I felt great,” says Farthing, who now lives in Merlin. “I wanted to continue.” “On this particular trip, there were still a lot of bicycle tourists out there even in October,” he said. “The Pacific Crest Trail, from Vancouver (B.C.) all the way down to San

Nation and World BRIEFS

Passengers give airliner a push ‌ OSCOW (AP) — In M other countries, you may be asked to give a push to a car stuck in the mud. In Russia, passengers in the Arctic came out of an airliner to the bitter cold to help it move to the runway. A Russian-made Tu-134 with 74 oil workers and s e ve n c re w m e m b e rs onboard was due to fly from the town of Igarka on Tuesday to Krasnoyarsk 800 miles (nearly 1,300 kilometers) to the south when the plane froze to the ground. It was -52 C (-61 F) outside and the passengers seemed desperate to get home. Eager to help, several dozen men were seen in an amateur video pushing the plane by leaning on both wings.

Gay marriage bans overturned ‌LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas and Mississippi became the latest two states Tuesday to have their gay marriage bans overturned by federal judges, but there are no rushes to the altar as both orders are on hold so the states can consider appeals. L i ke seve ra l s ta te s, Arkansas and Mississippi had voter-approved constitutional amendments pass in 2004 that defined marriage between one man and one woman. In Arkansas, U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker ruled in favor of two samesex couples who had challenged the amendment. They argued the ban violated the U.S. Constitution and discriminated based on sexual orientation.

Travelers contend with weather ‌MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A nor’easter packing rain and snow is posing special challenges along the crowded Washington-toBoston corridor for travelers headed to their Thanksgiving celebrations. The National Weather Service says major Northeast cities are likely to see moderate to heavy rain most of the day. New York and other places also are gearing up for several inches of snow. Higher elevation areas west of the Interstate 95 corridor could see as much as 6 to 12 inches before the nor’easter exits Wednesday night.

The Nasdaq composite climbed eight points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,766.84.

Weekly applications rose 21,000 to a seasonally adjusted 313,000, the Labor Department said Wednesday. That’s the highest level since the

first week of September. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose 6,250 to 294,000. The increase is unlikely to raise concerns about the broader health of the job market. At least some of the rise occurred because of seasonal layoffs in businesses affected by the cold weather, such as construction. The department seeks to control for

Hong Kong police arrest protesters ‌HONG KONG (AP) — Police arrested key student leaders of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests on Wednesday as they cleared barricades in one volatile district, throwing into doubt the future of a 2-month-old movement seeking free elections in the former British colony. On the second day of the operation to clear one of three protest zones, police in helmets swiftly removed metal barricades, tents, canopies and other obstructions in Mong Kok, a crowded, blue-collar neighborhood that has been the flash point of earlier clashes. The two remaining protest zones are the sprawling main camp n ex t to gove r n m e n t headquarters on the edge of the financial district and a smaller one in the Causeway Bay shopping district. Many protesters scattered during the police clearance Wednesday, but a handful faced off briefly against dozens of officers on a side street, determined to await supporters that they expected would join them in the evening after getting off school or work. Mong Kok has been home to a more raucous and aggressive group of protesters than at the two other sites. Previous efforts to clear the area have backfired, sending more people into the streets in the evening to confront police. Po l i c e s p o ke s m a n Steve Hui said a total of 148 people were arrested, including 55 for contempt.

Japan tries to tap growing Muslim tourist market ahead of Olympics Japan tries to welcome emerging market of Muslim tourists with prayer rooms and halal food HARUKA NUGA Associated Press‌

TO KYO — Un s u re ‌ whether they could find halal food in Japan, a group of Muslim school teachers from Malaysia went so far as to prepare their own breakfast before departing. By the end of the first day, they were more at ease. School principal Rahanim Adb Rahim and her group from Kuala Lumpur enjoyed a traditional Japanese lunch of seafood tempura with rice before joining the crowds at Senso-ji, a popular temple in Tokyo. “It is not as difficult as we thought it would be,” Rahanim said later at the Tokyo Skytree, a soaring tower that is one of the

city’s newest attractions. That’s welcome news for Japanese tourism officials, who are counting on a still small but growing market of Muslim tourists as Japan looks to diversify its tourism industry, long dependent on visitors from China, Taiwan and South Korea. Looking ahead to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is trying to boost tourism as part of his “Abenomics” growth revitalization plan. The government hopes to increase the annual number of tourists to 20 million by then. Tourism dropped significantly dropped after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and territorial disputes between China and Japan also reduced the number of Chinese visitors for a time. But foreign tourism has rebounded. According to the government’s Japan National Tourism Organization, a record 9.7 million people visited from January to September this year, a 26 percent increase from the

same period the year before. The largest number from Muslim countries came from Malaysia and Indonesia. Malaysia had 158,500 visitors in the first nine months of 2014, a 52.3 percent increase, and Indonesia had a 13.4 percent increase to 111,400 visitors. Beginning in 2013, visa exemptions made it easier for Malaysians to visit Japan, and exemptions for Indonesians are due to start Dec. 1. Rahanim still sees room for improvement in making Japan more Muslimfriendly. Muslims should pray five times a day, and prayer rooms are hard to come by. A former student from her school who was their unofficial guide resorted to praying behind a 7-Eleven parking lot. Shuichi Kameyama, the executive director of the tourism organization’s marketing and promotion department, said the number of prayer rooms is insufficient, but that he believes they will become more common.

Takashimaya, a popular department store in Tokyo, recently opened a prayer room because a growing number of Southeast Asian shoppers asking for one, company spokesman Mikio Koda said. The prayer room comes equipped with a facility for ritual washing and an arrow pointing in the direction of Mecca. Local businesses have also become more mindful of Muslim food restrictions. The use of pork and alcohol is prohibited in Islam and meat must also be cut by a Muslim using proper methods. For Rahanim and the school group, simply having menus in English helped them determine whether foods such as fish were acceptable. “Halalminds,” a smartphone application, tries to make it easier to find halal products and restaurants in Japan. Founder Agung Pambudi, a Muslim originally from Indonesia who lives in Fukuoka, designed the app earlier this year, and it has been downloaded

5,000 times. “It’s really difficult to find halal products, especially in Japan. Why? Because if I buy some products in Japan and I cannot read kanji (Japanese characters), this is impossible for me to understand what kind of ingredients are inside,” he said. Using GPS, the app also helps find nearby halal restaurants, such as Konya, a Turkish restaurant in Tokyo. Konya owner Ali Tada, a naturalized Japanese citizen from Turkey, says he’s seen a big improvement over the last decade, but it’s still difficult to find halal restaurants. Speaking comfortably in Japanese, he said, “Lately, the word ‘halal’ is being used a lot. But the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is approaching, and restaurants where Muslim people can eat at are still few.” He said that increasing the number of halal eateries would make Muslim visitors feel safe when visiting Japan.

3 Reasons holiday shoppers will spend cautiously Despite positive economic signs, holiday shoppers will only spend if they get big discounts ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AND CHRIS RUGABER Associated Press‌

‌N EW YORK — Falling gas prices. Soaring stock market. Unemployment at a six-year-low. All signs point to a successful holiday shopping season. Despite the economic tail winds, though, retailers are finding themselves having to work to get shoppers into stores. Why? Five years into the economic recovery, most Americans still are struggling. Gas prices may be hovering at a four-year low, but Americans are paying more for food, health care and other costs. Unemployment is low, too, but then so is wage growth. And even though the stock and housing markets have i m p rove d , A m e r i c a n s haven’t changed their dealhungry shopping habits.

GOP Latino voters may stay away Continued from A1

Prospective Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton praised Obama’s order as an “historic step.” “Now,” she said in a tweet, “let’s turn to permanent bipartisan reform.” And as Hispanic leaders cheered the order, potential Republican presidential candidates threatened lawsuits, shutdowns and even impeachment — but no immigration policy of their own. The Republican criticism has focused on the president’s decision to act unilaterally, although political strategists acknowledged the distinction may matter little to Hispanic voters

“Retail therapy is out the window for most Americans,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics LLC, a research firm. Not that this holiday season is expected to be a dud. In fact, the National Retail Federation forecasts holiday sales will grow 4.1 percent to $616.9 billion — the highest increase since 2011. But retailers already have had to resort to discounting to get shoppers into stores. But heavy discounting eats into profits. For example, over the past weekend, online sales rose 18.7 percent, but the average order value was $112.86, down 5.4 percent for the same period a year ago because of promotions, according to IBM Digital Analysts Benchmark, which tracks sales at 800 websites. Reflecting the tough environment, major department stores, including Macy’s, J.C. Penney and Kohl’s, reported sales shortfalls in the quarter preceding the holiday shopping season. Discounters like Target and Wal-Mart turned in betterthan-expected sales, but acknowledged that shoppers are cautious. Take Amanda Simpson, 39, who works in public

relations in Denton, Texas. The mother of two young children plans to spend $700 on holiday gifts, down from last year’s $1,000. Simpson says now the economy is improving, she’s focusing on building her savings. She and her husband, a government worker, are juggling daycare expenses and higher health care expenses. Even the extra $20 a week from falling gas prices is going toward bills. “I definitely feel better,” she said. “But as a family, we are trying to be more fiscally conservative.” Here are three reasons many Americans plan to spend conservatively this holiday season even though economic factors have improved:

come 2016. “Republicans ought to stand up to a president who is trying to make himself an emperor. If we lose a vote or two over that, so be it,” said Henry Barbour, a Republican operative who helped author the very report calling for his party to embrace immigration reform after Hispanic voters swung sharply against the GOP in the 2012 presidential election. Re p u b l i c a n s ro u te d Democrats in this month’s midterm elections, although most of the competitive contests played out in states and congressional districts with small H ispanic populations. Nationally, the share of the Hispanic vote is surging, especially in key swing states like Colorado, Florida and Nevada. In the last presidential contest, Obama won 71 percent of Hispanic voters compared to Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s 27

That’s one reason shoppers might not spend briskly during the holiday despite the fact that the U.S. jobless rate hit 5.8 percent last month, down 1.5 percentage points from a year ago. “The unemployment number is a bogus number,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. “What drives spending is income growth.”

still be “very savvy” this holiday season even if they have more money to spend because of low fuel prices.

3. SHOPPERS WANT DEALS

Paychecks have barely stayed ahead of inflation since the recession ended more than five years ago. Average hourly wages, adjusted for inflation, rose just 0.3 percent in September from a year earlier. And many Americans, who once worked full time now have part-time jobs. There are still nearly 2 million fewer people working full time in December 2007, when the Great Recession began.

Gas prices have fallen 20 percent from a year ago to $2.81. While that puts an average of $50 a month into the pockets of American households, they’re still grappling with higher costs on lots of other necessities like food and health care. Overall food prices are up 1.7 percent from a year ago, according to the latest Consumer Price Index. Meat prices are up 8.5 percent, while egg prices rose 6.7 percent. While Wal-Mart noted lower gas prices have helped to fuel more trips to the store, it said shoppers at its Sams Clubs are trading down from red meat to chicken and ground beef. J.C. Penney’s CEO Mike Ullman told investors he expects customers will

Shoppers may feel a little better about the overall economy, but they’re still focused on a deal. And they’re still sticking to lists. According to a recent survey of 500 shoppers by Accenture, 29 percent said it would take a discount of 50 percent or more to persuade them to make a purchase. Two years ago, that figure was 21 percent. That’s why a number of retailers have been heavily discounting holiday items all month. Many, including Target and Wal-Mart, have pulled forward some of the deals reserved for Black Friday. A survey of 100 retailers by BDO, a consultancy, found that 34 percent will have already run most holiday deals by the time shoppers sit down for their Thanksgiving dinner. “Everyone is still looking for a deal,” said Mikael Thygesen, chief marketing officer at Simon Property Group, which operates 228 shopping centers.

percent, according to exit polls. Democrats’ advantage was far smaller against former President George W. Bush, a Republican who tried unsuccessfully to champion immigration reform and even spoke conversational Spanish. Since the Bush years, however, conservatives have emphasized border security while aggressively resisting reforms that include a pathway to legal status for the estimated 12 million immigrants in the country illegally. Romney in 2012 called on such people to “self-deport,” a position that was popular with conservatives but haunted him in the general election. “Shame on us as Republicans,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday, citing House Republicans’ resistance to an immigration bill approved by the Senate. Republican Hispanic l ea d e rs wh o o p p o s e d

Obama’s plan predicted Republicans would struggle again in 2016 if they simply attack the executive order without offering their own solutions. The party needs to address the millions of immigrants in the country illegally instead of simply focusing on border security, said Alfonso Aguilar, who worked in the George W. Bush White House and now leads the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles. “If Republicans focus all their efforts on trying to attack this order and don’t lead, and pass legislation, they’re just going to hurt themselves with Latino voters,” said Aguilar, who described the executive order as a “Band-Aid that doesn’t resolve the problem.” Republican House speaker John Boehner late last week vowed legislative action to counter the president’s plan, but did

not offer details. The focus on immigration infuriated Republican governors gathered in Florida last week. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie refused to disclose his own position on immigration as he repeatedly criticized the president’s order. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence called for an immediate court challenge. Texas Gov.-elect Greg Abbott was one of the few Republican leaders to emphasize the need to attract Hispanic voters. He suggested that his wife, who is Hispanic, helps demonstrate that Latino voters and Republicans have much in common. “Once we marry those two communities— the same way that I’ve been married to my wife for 33 years — we will have lasting Republican majorities, not just among governors, but across the United States of America for decades to come,” Abbott said.

“It was a time when you knew that you may not be alive at the end of the next day and that was a horrible way to live.” Steve Lunt

Lunt Parents knew each other Continued from A1

It actually turned out that the couple had family roots of sorts even before they started their own. That’s a story Steve discovered that same night after mentioning the young girl he was newly smitten with to his mother. His parents had known Jean’s parents when they were all on the same Navy ship, the USS Beaver, stationed in Panama in World War I. Jean’s father was a doctor on the vessel. Both Jean and Steve said they’ve always felt that the prior connection had great significance in their own paths crossing. In 1942, the couple became engaged, but when Steve himself was stationed in Texas during World War II, he was forced to leave his fiancee at home. The separation eventually became too much. “The war was never going to end ... it was a different time of life than kids know today. Long distance phone calls were impossible. Long distance transportation was impossible,” Steve said. “So I called up one day and said to Jean, ‘This damn war is never going to end. Get yourself down to San Antonio and let’s get married.’” Jean, armed with Steve’s mother, made her way there and the two were married at Fort Sam Houston. They found a garage apartment for $25 and started their married lives together. “It was a time when you knew that you may not be alive at the end of the next day and that was a horrible way to live,” Steve said about the social climate of that time. It was later, after jobs at Boeing in Seattle and in San Francisco where Steve joined the WP Fuller Paint company and worked in the research lab, that in 1970 the Lunts bought the M&M paint company in Ashland. The business, which was eventually moved to Medford, is now run by two of their sons. Through the years, the Lunts have enjoyed boating trips in the San Juan Islands, camping and various family activities. “It takes loyalty and respect and love,” Jean said about keeping a marriage intact. “It’s helpful if two people come from the same background, too.” Steve also had some advice. “Be loyal to each other, no shenanigans ... especially the guys,” Steve chimed in. Recently the couple sat down with their middle son Craig at Benetti’s and reminisced about their lives together. “It was a milestone and they filled in a lot of family history,” Craig said of the dinner. After Thanksgiving the Lunts have a bigger celebration planned in honor of their anniversary and the family they’ve created. That event will include intimate friends and their family, one which besides their three sons, now includes four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

NFL’s bad is truly terrible

‌F

or many Americans, Thanksgiving has become synonymous with professional football. I don’t necessarily agree with that concept because I love what the holiday stands for, to the extent that the Gunther household never gets out Christmas decorations until after ThanksgivJohn ing. So while I won’t be camped out in front of the television all day, I know millions of Americans will. And for the big-time football fans, I can’t really blame them. The lineup for Sports the turkey-day Editor games is the best it’s been in years. It starts with the resurgent Detroit Lions hosting Chicago. Granted, the Bears aren’t as good as many years, the morning’s first game still is a traditional black-and-blue rivalry. And it’s just the appetizer. The afternoon game is a battle for first place in the NFC East between the Cowboys and Chip Kelly’s Eagles. The two teams not only are competing for the division title, both remain in the running for the top record in the league, and with it home-field advantage through the playoffs. And the night game is one of the best rivalries when San Francisco hosts Seattle. The two West Coast clubs have put on some of the best battles in recent years, and with division-leading Arizona missing quarterback Carson Palmer for the rest of the year, the Cardinals are within reach for the winner tonight. The best thing about today’s schedule? I think it’s that the NFC South has been left out. With five weeks to go in the regular season, 2014 is shaping up as a historic year. Every team in the AFC North is at least three games over .500. That’s never happened. I am paying more attention than many years because my Bengals are in first place. This might be the year they finally win a playoff game, if they can survive the division. In honesty, though, the AFC North’s success might be partly due to this year’s schedule, which has the division playing the teams in the NFC South. As historically good as Cincinnati’s division has been, the land of the Saints and Falcons has been equally awful. Entering the week, New Orleans and Atlanta are tied for first, both with 4-7 records. The Falcons could win the division without winning a game outside of it. They’ve thrived on their division foes. Meanwhile, the traditionally tough-at-home Saints have lost three straight in the Superdome. How bad is the division? Tampa Bay is still very much alive in the race for the playoffs. Right now, those Bucs have a 2-9 record. Tuesday, I heard a discussion on the radio specifically dealing with the NFC South. The hosts suggested the NFL completely do away with divisions, or even leagues. Let the 12 best teams into the playoffs, regardless of what leagues they might be in. Currently, 20 teams have a better record than any club in the NFC South. Another recent suggestion was going back to the traditional sixdivision format instead of the current eight — the concept being that at least one team would be worthy of a playoff spot. I say leave things the same. Not long ago another division didn’t end up with any teams over .500. Yet, when it came time for the playoffs, the division champion won its home game. That team? The Seahawks. Look where they are now. Seattle is defending Super Bowl champions now in one of the best divisions. One feature of the NFL is that, aside from the Patriots, success is cyclical. In a few years, as hard as it is to imagine, we might celebrate seeing the league-leading Buccaneers on Thanksgiving.

Southern Oregon University linebacker Heston Altenbach tackles MidAmerica Nazarene’s Javon Taylor during Saturday’s playoff game in Ashland.

Altenbach savors time with Raiders JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌ASHLAND — On the football field at Southern Oregon University last Saturday night, Heston Altenbach wore a big smile on his unshaven face. The Raiders had just beaten MidAmerica Nazarene in the first round of the NAIA playoffs and the senior linebacker and his teammates were celebrating with family and friends. Above his grin, the tip of Altenbach’s nose was stained with blood. That war wound was nothing compared to the heavy padding Altenbach had on his right hand, protecting a broken bone he suffered in a game a few weeks ago. Such is the price of playing a game he loves. “It makes it a little difficult,” Altenbach said. “I miss some tackles here and there because of it. But it’s nothing to hold me back. It’s not an excuse for anything.” The Coquille graduate is a four-year starter for the Raiders, after his redshirt year having alternated between safety, outside linebacker and, this year, middle linebacker. “I like the position,” he said. “I get to react faster. I’m in on a lot more plays.” During Saturday’s game, he had 13 tackles, bringing his season total to 108, second best on the squad. He also has an interception this year. During his career, he has 293 tackles, including 16 for loss, as well as two interceptions, nine pass breakups, three fumble recoveries and four forced fumbles. One of the biggest highlights was throwing a touchdown pass to a tight end on a fake punt during a game at Montana-Northern his sophomore year, a play that turned the contest in Southern Oregon’s favor. “We ended up winning the game,” he said. “That was a pretty awesome moment.” The play sparked memories of Altenbach’s days in Coquille, when he was the starting

Coquille graduate Heston Altenbach helped Southern Oregon advance to the NAIA quarterfinals by recording 13 tackles in Saturday’s win over MidAmerica Nazarene. quarterback. But he never had a doubt where he wanted to play in college. “I wanted to play on the defensive side of the ball and go tackle someone basically,” he said. Plus Southern Oregon already has a record-setting quarterback, fellow senior Austin Dodge, who erased the school marks previously held by Marshfield graduate and current Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich. “It’s fun to watch him play and throw the deep ball,” Altenbach said. “Any snap can be for a touchdown. He’s so explosive. Everybody (on offense) pretty much does (their) job.” Altenbach has earned some honors of his own, all for his work in the classroom. This fall he was recognized as a district all-academic selection for the third time. The honor is particularly impressive because Altenbach is

a physics major, carrying a 3.66 grade point average. He will finish his degree at the end of this term and transfer to Oregon State University to study engineering. “It’s difficult doing physics and football,” Altenbach said. “Football is like a job.” Fortunately, he’s had help with his education. “I have a buddy on the team who is a physics major, too,” Altenbach said. “We work together.” Football and physics are an unusual combination, something recognized by other students. “We always get laughed at in our classes when we say we’re football players,” he said. Schoolwork and football have been equally rewarding for Altenbach. On the field, he will treasure “the life lessons you learn playing at the college level.” He credits Southern Oregon

coach Craig Howard with instilling the players with the concept of being good men, both on and off the field. “Being men of character, strength and honor,” Altenbach said. “That’s a cool thing to have as a coach.” Along the way, Altenbach also has formed tight bonds with teammates, including fishing and hunting partners. Some of those buddies decided not to shave once practice started, leading to a lot of facial hair on the team. “I’ll shave after the season,” Altenbach said, adding that he looks forward to having a cleanshaven face again. “My mom will stop harassing me,” he added with a laugh. Not that Altenbach is in any hurry for his final game. “It’s been real fun,” he said. “It’s going to be hard to let go. Hopefully we’ve got a few more weeks to go.”

Bulldogs feed off 2012 title-game loss GEORGE ARTSITAS The World‌

NORTH BEND — In their song “Under the Bridge,” the Red Hot Chili Peppers sing I don’t ever want to feel, like I did that day. Take me to the place I love, take me all the way.” For lead singer Anthony Keidis, those words represent a personal insight into his struggle with addiction. For North Bend’s football players, it’s a reminder of their own rock bottom. Those words bring back a lot of memories,” North Bend quarterback Cam Lucero said. “Keep

us working hard to never feel like we did on Dec. 1, 2012.” Two years after getting outmanned by Baker 52-22 in the Class 4A state championship game, it’s a day they’ve chosen not to forget. We didn’t come ready to play that game,” Lucero said. Since, the Bulldogs have only lost two games, both to Cottage Grove last year, and have found their way back to a state final. This time it’s against Gladstone — kickoff is at 5 p.m. at Hillsboro Stadium west of Portland. S i x c u r re n t B u l l d ogs — Lucero, Drew Matthews, Aaron Wagner, Levi Rider, Tanner

Henderson and Rhett Strode — all played in that game, with the first four being in for the majority of snaps. They remember the mindset of the Bulldogs that year. Prior to 2012, North Bend had never extended past the quarterfinals in football. The trophy mattered, regardless of size, shape or color. We were making history,” Wagner said. The senior linebacker is back after missing the first nine game of the season with a broken ankle and torn ligament he suffered last wrestling season. “Now we’re back again it feels completely different but we’re

doing the same thing,” he said. “We’ve seen what the teams look like, we know what they’re capable of.” The past two seasons North Bend has ascended into the elite, and this Saturday, the Bulldogs are much more particular on trophy color. We will do everything we can to come away with the blue (state championship) trophy,” said Matthews, who had six catches for 208 yards and three touchdowns against Mazama in the semifinals.

Redskins switch to McCoy at QB JOSEPH WHITE

The Associated Press‌

‌ASHBURN, Va. — Move over, RG3. It’s Colt vs. the Colts. The Washington Redskins will start Colt McCoy over Robert Griffin III on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, the latest development in a stunning slide for the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. “My job is to do everything we can to win. ... At this time, I just feel like Colt gives us a better opportunity,” coach Jay Gruden told Colts reporters on a conference call Wednesday. The Redskins are 0-3 since Griffin returned from an ankle injury and have scored only one touchdown in each of the last two games. The former No. 2 overall draft pick seemed

poised to revolutionize the quarterback position with his arm and legs when he led Washington to the playoffs two years ago, but he is 4-14 as a starter since the start of the 2013 season. He has struggled in an attempt to transform into a traditional pocket-passer. Gruden said Griffin “just needs a little more time” to master the team’s offensive scheme. He said Griffin will serve as the No. 2 quarterback on Sunday. “ He wa s n ’t h a p py,” Gruden said, “nor would I expect him to be happy.” Gruden has been candid about Griffin’s development and was particularly brutal a week ago, citing “fundamental flaws” after an abysmal performance in a 20-point loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Griffin played a little better in a 17-13 defeat against

The Associated Press‌

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III runs from San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith during the first quarter Sunday. the San Francisco 49ers, but Gruden afterward hinted a change was possible, saying Griffin’s 106 yards passing “is unheard of this day and age with the receivers we have, and we have to figure out something.” Griffin has now been

benched twice when healthy in his young career. He was shut down for the final three games last year as the season spiraled to a 3-13 finish under thencoach Mike Shanahan. Griffin has also suffered two major leg injuries, a

torn ACL in his right knee as a rookie and a dislocated left ankle this year. The injuries have played a part in Griffin’s desire to become a pass-first quarterback, rather than the dual-threat player who rushed for 815 yards as a rookie. T h e a n k l e p ro b l e m caused Griffin to miss six games and hindered his work with first-year coach Gruden. But there had already been signs in training camp that he was having trouble with basics such as footwork and downfield reads. Drills ran more crisply with backups Kirk Cousins and McCoy. Cousins took over after Griffin was hurt in the first quarter of the Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and led a 41-10 victory, but he lost his next four starts and proved to be turnover-prone. He was

benched at halftime in favor of McCoy against the Tennessee Titans, and McCoy rallied the Redskins to a 19-17 win, then to a Monday night upset of the Dallas Cowboys. Despite McCoy’s success, Gruden went back to Griffin the following week — and the Redskins haven’t won since. For the season, Griffin has completed 70 percent of his passes — an impressive rate — but he has only two touchdowns and three interceptions and has been sacked 20 times in five starts. His passer rating is 85.7. McCoy joined the Redskins this season in need of a job in his fifth year in the league, willing to be a thirdstringer behind Griffin and Cousins. He hadn’t started a game since 2011 before he led the win over the Cowboys.

Scheduling is a science for NFL Lions host Bears in crucial contest The Associated Press ‌The NFL runs dozens of computers for 24 hours a day for 12 weeks to evaluate its millions of possible schedule combinations. Each team’s opponents are set at the end of the previous season based on records and the rotation of interdivision matchups. The puzzle is determining which week each game will be played, and which TV slot it will slide into. Close to 20,000 “rules” are programmed in to let the machines know which outcomes should be avoided — everything from dates that stadiums aren’t available to keeping a team from playing four straight road games. Undesirable options are

inevitable, though, with some worse than others. So “penalties” of varying values are assigned to help the software minimize the unhappy teams. The computers go through each possible schedule to determine which racks up the fewest penalties. T h e l ea g u e , wh i c h used to do the schedule by hand, started using computers in 2002 and now relies on a program designed by British Columbia-based Optimal Planning Solutions. Plenty of human judgment comes into play, too. NFL executives look to slot high-profile games on national TV and plug those preferences in. So m e t i m e s c o a c h i n g changes and free agency moves that take place

after the process started suddenly make a matchup more or less appealing, and that needs to be entered in. Officials evaluate the suggested schedules that the machines compile to settle on the one they like the best. Commissioner Roger Goodell has final approval. S e v e ra l c o n s i d e r ations must be taken into account. : For example, because each team now must play a Thursday night game, it gets a sort of “mini-bye” afterward — at least 10 days until its next outing. The NFL tries to ensure that a club’s official bye and mini-bye don’t come too close together so players get the most out of the extra rest each time.

The Associated Press‌

‌D ETROIT — This is a familiar situation for Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions: They are in decent position to make the playoffs, but after a couple of poor performances, that’s hardly a certainty. The 2013 Lions wasted this type of opportunity, and the 2014 team is looking just shaky enough to leave its frustrated fan base feeling antsy. “ No b o dy i s h a p p i e r than us that our game is on Thursday. We’re ready to get back out there and play,” Stafford said. “Obviously, any time you lose a game it’s disappointing. Two in a row is that much more.” Detroit fell out of first place with losses to Arizona and New England, and now the pressure will be on during a crucial three-game homestand that begins today against the Chicago Bears. The Lions are favored i n t h a t T h a n k s g iv i n g matchup, and after that they’ll take on Tampa Bay and Minnesota. Lose even once during that stretch, and Detroit (7-4) could be in trouble. The previous time the Lions faced the Bears, they won 21-19 to complete a season sweep in 2013. That put Detroit at 6-3, but the Lions dropped six of their last seven games to miss the postseason. So this year’s 7-2 start did not guarantee anything. Chicago (5-6) appeared to be out of the playoff chase when it gave up more than 50 points to New England and Green Bay in

back-to-back games. Since then, however, the Bears have beaten Minnesota and Tampa Bay. After facing the Lions this week, Chicago will play three of its last four at home. The postseason is still a major longshot, but the worst may be over for the Bears. “I think that’s really a credit to our coaches and our players that we were able to put things behind us and go back to work,” Chicago coach Marc Trestman said. “The one thing that has been consistent with our football team up to this point is, whether we’ve won or lost, our guys have gone back and worked. You really don’t know during the week whether we had won or lost the last game.” Here are a few things to watch in this NFC North matchup: PROTECTING STAFFORD: Detroit’s pass protection has been one reason Stafford has had a hard time finding a groove this season. He’s been sacked 33 times, three short of his career high. Tackles Riley Reiff and Larry Warford have both been dealing with knee injuries. Chicago has its share of impressive pass rushers, including Jared Allen and former Lion Willie Young. MEGATRON’S MALAISE: Calvin Johnson has gained more than 100 yards only twice this season, and although he missed a month with an ankle problem, his production is raising some eyebrows around Detroit. The 29-year-old star has been targeted 37 times in the three games since

returning from his injury, and he caught only 16 of those passes. “As a team we’ve all took a turn, whether it be a drop here or a missed assignment here or there,” Johnson said. “So the biggest thing for us is we just have to tighten things up.” STOPPING THE RUN: Detroit’s defense is ranked No. 1 in the NFL against the run. That didn’t matter much last weekend when Tom Brady picked the Lions apart, but if the Bears are planning to rely on their Matt Forte-led rushing game, that might play into Detroit’s hands. SLOW STARTS: It’s been a while since either of these teams built a big early lead. The Lions won four in a row before losing to Arizona and New England, but in three of those wins, they had to rally late in the fourth quarter. The Bears, meanwhile, have trailed 10-0 or worse in each of their past five games. “We have not started well and we admit to those mistakes and we’re constantly going to work at that,” Trestman said. “But the other side of the coin is that when we’ve gotten down, we’ve continued to press forward. We did that as a team last week and we’re hoping to do it again. But it’s a collective process.” HISTORY: The Lions had lost nine straight games on Thanksgiving before last year’s victory over Green Bay. The Bears haven’t played on this holiday since a 2004 loss at Dallas. They haven’t p l a ye d a t D e t ro i t o n Thanksgiving since a 21-17 loss in 1999.

US bid cities urged to keep costs down EDDIE PELLS

back with a nice bid,” IOC member Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah of Kuwait said recently. But the vote is secretive. Chicago (2016) and New York (2012) were both considered favorites at one point. Both lost badly, and “American arrogance” was brought up time and again. The USOC leadership has tried to tone that down by participating in more international meetings, and creating better relationships — both over a cocktail in the hotel lobby and during the tense negotiations in the meeting rooms. The ballot could be the answer to how successful they were.

The Associated Press‌

‌COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The magic number for the U.S. cities hoping to host the 2024 Olympics is $5 billion. Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington have all submitted spending plans under that mark for their bids to host the Olympics. Keeping the price tag down is a key goal of any future Olympic bid. The U.S. Olympic Committee is less than two months away from deciding which city, if any, it will back as a candidate for the 2024 Games. The International Olympic Committee has put an emphasis on staying away from skyrocketing spending. It’s an especially touchy subject in the United States, where, unlike most countries, the federal government does not help bankroll the Olympics. None of the cities are offering specifics about their budgets, though all are coming in between $4 billion and $5 billion. Those numbers almost always grow after the Olympics are awarded. The preliminary budgets also don’t include infrastructure improvements — airport expansions, highways, railways and the like — that often make the overall budget skyrocket. “We’ve strongly encouraged each of the cities to make sure that whatever new infrastructure is needed in connection with the Games is part of the long-term plan for the city even if they don’t host

Freshmen step up for Ducks ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press‌

‌EUGENE — Oregon s enior cornerback Ifo E kpre-Olomu has some sage advice for the Ducks’ up-and-coming freshmen. Savor every moment. A s players like EkpreOlomu, and perhaps junior quarterback Marcus Mariota, aspire to finish their college careers with a spot in the first playoffs and a national championship bid, they’re being helped along the way by a group of promi sing freshmen including running back Royce Freeman and receivers Charles Nelson and Devon Allen. “You tell the younger guys that you have to take every o pportunity you get and you can’t think that you’re just going to do it next year o r next week because it goes by fast,” Ekpre-Olomu said after Saturday’s victory over Colorado, his last

Oregon freshman wide receiver Charles Nelson heads to the end zone for a touchdown during the second quarter Saturday against Colorado can be hostile. It’ll be a great experience.” In the game against Colorado, Freeman ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns. H e became the first true freshman to rush for 1,000 yards in a season for the Ducks, and has 1,050 going into the Civil War.

He also set an Oregon freshman record with 16 touchdowns this season, surpassing LaMichael James, who rushed for 1,546 yards and 14 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2009 — the year he won Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors.

North Bend’s Drew Matthews, right, shakes hands with teammate Jesse Gunnell during the 2012 championship game against Baker. Gunnell was a senior then and Matthews is a senior this year, looking ahead to another title game Saturday. w ish I could say (we’re) more relaxed, but that is not the case. Each year we do gain confidence in what we do.” Two years later and the young kids like Rider, Wagner, Lucero and Matthews are all grown up and can experience having a suref ire final game to themselves. Some seniors, including Rider, have found solace in knowing three straight t rips to the semifinals isn’t too shabby, but that doesn’t mean the game is any less significant. We can wait for after the game to realize how big it was,” Rider said. “I look at

it in the sense that we got the most out of this season so far, we have played the most games we can, I personally don’t regret anything. At this point the only thing left to completely top off the perfect season is to win this Saturday. I don’t feel any pressure.” Before the game, Matthews said that all 14 senior Bulldogs may find a little time before kickoff to give each other a hug. They’ll remind themselves to make t heir community proud, bring the Class 4A trophy back to the Bay Area for the first time since Marshfield won in 1992, and then tell each other “This is it boys,

let’s do this.” “The seniors are coming down to the last of our high school football careers, and all we can do now is pour our hearts out on that field and battle until we can’t b attle anymore,” Matthews said. “Overcoming t hose obstacles is what m akes a championship team and there is no doubt in my mind that we are that team.” eporter George Artsitas R can be reached at 541269-1222, ext. 236, or by email at george.artsitas@ theworldlink.com.

Iron Bowl features versatile quarterbacks JOHN ZENOR

The Associated Press‌

‌AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — A labama’s Blake Sims is a passer who can run and Auburn’s Nick Marshall is a runner who can pass. T he two playmaking q uarterbacks enter Satu rday night’s Iron Bowl with the ability to cause h eadaches for opposing defenses using both their arms and their feet. How they go about doing that is quite different. Sims, a senior making his first Iron Bowl start, is mostly tasked with getting the ball to players like receiver Amari Cooper and tailback T.J. Yeldon. The former running back also ran for two third-and-long conversions on a decisive touchdown drive against No. 4 Mississippi State, a threat the Crimson Tide hasn’t had in recent quarterbacks. “ T h e q u a r te rba c k d oesn’t carry it a whole lot, but when he does he’s a threat to go the whole w ay,” Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said. “He’s big and fast. He can get the ball outside, whereas that was a play y ou didn’t really worry about (in the past). “You packed the box and made sure you stopped the running back.” T he Tide has even at times employed the zone read plays that have been

Allen grabbed attention last summer when he won t he 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA track and field c hampionships. His time of 13.16 seconds set a meet r ecord, besting Olympic gold medalist Aries Merr itt’s mark of 13.21 set in 2 006 for Tennessee. He b ecame the first freshm an to win the national title in the event since San Jose State’s Dedy Cooper in 1976. So far this season, freshmen have scored 29 of Oregon’s 68 touchdowns, or 43 percent. Other rookie contributors include receiver Darren Carrington, tackle Tyrell Crosby and offensive lineman Doug Brenner. “There’s so many guys, s o many young, talented players here. It’s pretty fun t o watch,” Mariota said. “It’s fun to see them grow. They’ll continue to get better as their careers progress.”

Rivaly games impact playoff possibilities

Bulldogs Seniors seek big victory t hat was such a terrible feeling and next time we m ake it we need to have the opposite outcome and know what that feels like.” That moment Matthews is referring to, the scene of the Bulldog seniors comi ng off the field after a 30-point loss, was brutal. Lots of silence and lots of e motions from the 2012 senior class accompanied by sympathy from teammates and spectators who felt awful for them. T he way back, Wagn er said it was a pretty “gloomy” four-hour bus trip. “Under the Bridge” didn’t blare on the bus. I t was more of just enjoying the time we had left together,” Lucero said. “ When knew it was the last four hours we would all spend together forever.” In his fourth year as head coach, Gary Prince is 42-6. He’s surpassed all of his predecessors’ furthest trip into the playoffs not once, but the past three years. T he sophomores he had t hen may be much more men than boys then now, b ut Prince and his staff also have developed since. I t has only been two y ears, but I think as a c oaching staff there has been a tremendous amount of growth,” Prince said. “I

“Coming in, I just tried to go as far as I could, not to really set any goals,” he said, adding: “Knowing I have 1,000 yards, it makes me want to run even more.” A lso in the Colorado g ame, freshman Charles Nelson had three catches for 62 yards, but he made them count with two touchdowns. Nelson has five touchdowns this season, including a TD on his first college touch with a 50-yard punt return in the opener against South Dakota. “I think I’ve come a long way, learning everything a nd just taking in everything,” Nelson said. “This has been a great experience as a freshman, being able to get out there and play and help the whole team come out with victories.” Allen, a redshirt freshman, has caught 34 passes for 168 yards and six touchdowns.

The Associated Press‌

Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall runs upfield for a gain during a game against Mississippi State during their game earlier this season. so effective for Marshall and the Tigers the past two years. B oth are quick, shifty p layers who can outrun many pursuing linebackers or make them miss. Marshall has attempted 73 fewer passes than Sims, but run twice as much. He hasn’t been effective running the past two games, and Auburn’s offense has s puttered at times as a result. “He’s an athlete,” Tide s afety Nick Perry said. “He’s probably going to be the most elusive guy we’ve faced all season. He makes a lot of great plays. You just h ave to contain him and don’t allow him to beat us. Allow other people to beat us.”

Marshall made the seco nd-biggest play of last y ear’s Iron Bowl, even though it was vastly overs hadowed by the gameending runback of a missed field goal. He appeared poised to run but pulled up shy of t he line of scrimmage, switched the ball from his left hand to his right and t hrew a 39-yard touchd own pass to Sammie Coates to tie the game with 32 seconds left. The win helped propel the Tigers into the national championship game, the same destination Sims is h oping to arrive at with three more wins. Last season gave Marshall a spot among Auburn’s top quarterbacks, though how high

remains to be seen. “ He was a big part of leading us there,” Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said. “ I t wo u l d h ave b e e n extremely hard not having h im to get there, I’ll tell you that. He has been very good for us these last two years. As far as the legacy, statistically, he’s one of the best to ever come through h ere. But we’ve still got games left. “That question’s probably better answered at the end of the season.” M arshall got to that p oint only after getting k icked off the Georgia team where he had been moved to defensive back, then playing for a junior college. Sims’ journey to this point was less circuitous but it took even longer. T he fifth-year senior p layed running back in 2011 and then spent two s easons backing up AJ McCarron before getting his shot. Even then, he had to beat out Florida State transfer Jake Coker. “At the beginning of the season, I guess you can say I dreamed about” playing in this game, Sims said. A Georgia native like Marshall, he didn’t arrive on campus knowing all that much about the Iron Bowl. S ims does now. “I’ve seen a lot of players come t hrough that have been very legendary from the game,” he said.

BRIDGE The second magazine that has gone Internet-only this year is New Zealand Bridge. It is now an even more appealing — and much bigger — publication that is free! Check it out at nzcba.co.nz. Here is a good defensive problem from the August edition. Look at the North and East hands. Defending against four spades, your partner (West) leads the heart ace, cashes the heart king, and shifts to the club seven. What would you (East) do when declarer calls for dummy’s

queen? Would you find a different defense if South plays dummy’s 10? This deal occurred 20 years ago and features some old-fashioned bidding. South’s three clubs was the Baron convention, asking partner to show four-card suits in ascending order — hence North’s three diamonds. But this had the disadvantage that the weak hand became the declarer. Sitting East was Michael Prescott, who learned the game in New Zealand but moved to Australia several years ago. He realized that if South had the spade queen, the contract was unbeatable. And if West had queen-third of spades, South had to be kept out of his hand, so that he could not take the trump finesse. Ergo, at trick three, Prescott allowed dummy’s club queen to take the trick. (If declarer had instead played the club 10, East would have won and returned a club.) South now cashed dummy’s two top trumps to go down, losing one spade, two hearts and one club. Yes, if he had instead cashed three diamond tricks and the club ace, then played another club, he could have endplayed East. But understandably he didn’t.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2014 Don’t be limited by what others do or say. Make improvements that mean something to you, not to those who want something from you. Be true to your ideals and you will dominate anyone trying to put you down or get the better of you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — Don’t make promises you can’t keep. If you aren’t ready to make a commitment, be truthful and move on. Hurt feelings will result if you say one thing and do another. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Take a close look at your personal papers. Put all your documents and information in order. It will feel good to have loose ends tied up before the end of the year. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You are likely to hear unpleasant news. Try to react responsibly, not emotionally. Everything will get better if you are patient and deal with matters as they arise. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You will face opposition if you are too vocal. Unless you are asked for advice, keep your opinions to yourself. Work on self-improvement and personal advancement. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You are riding a crest, so don’t let anyone or anything slow you down. You are headed for the top, and any unnecessary delays could alter the positive outcome you are after. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — When hosting a group of people, add special touches that are sure to please. The thought you put behind your effort is equally as important as the final product. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you are too demanding, expect to face opposition. Be respectful of the people you are dealing with if you want to be better treated in return. It’s about give and take. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You will feel down today, making it necessary to put a positive spin on whatever you do. Be the first to offer a smile, compliment or kind word, and good things will happen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s surprising how many useful connections can be made when

you volunteer your time or services. Don’t pass up a chance to help others. Increased visibility will be beneficial. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s time to take ownership. Take charge of your responsibilities and face the consequences of your actions. Don’t blame others for your situation; just do something about it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A chance encounter will blossom into a fabulous, long-lasting friendship. Get out and socialize so that you can meet people from different walks of life. It may be time to spice things up. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You may want to call a truce with someone you’re fighting with. Accept your share of the blame and move on. Life is too short to hold grudges or waste time arguing. SATURDAY, NOV. 29, 2014 Embrace change this year. Once you have decided to be more flexible, you will be astounded at the increased opportunities that come your way. Trying to stick to a rigid routine will be frustrating and unrealistic. Circumstances fluctuate all the time; live in the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — Be careful when selecting which charities you wish to sponsor. If you let your emotions take over, you could be cheated out of your hardearned cash. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your skill and expertise will enable you to perfectly execute an important project. The accolades that come your way will set the stage for future opportunities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be careful when divulging personal information. It’s likely that your loved ones will hear the details at some point, so avoid saying anything that you’ll later regret. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Relationship woes are likely if you act in haste or lash out in anger. Think before you
