THE HIGH COST OF POOR ROADS Study shows one in five jobs is reliant on, or transportation related DEVAN PATEL The World
SOUTH COAST — On the heels of last month’s McCullough Bridge closure that showed how vulnerable our transportation system is, findings from two new Oregon Department of Transportation studies paint an even more dire picture if the state’s transportation infrastructure were to deteriorate. “Rough Roads Ahead: The Cost of Poor Highway Conditions to Oregon’s Economy“ and the “Oregon Highways Seismic Plus Report“ both tackle the economic implications of poor state highways and bridges, emphasizing the need for major investment. The road study concluded that unless pavement and bridge conditions are improved, the state could see a loss of $94 billion in cumulative gross domestic product by 2035, in addition to the loss of 100,000 future jobs as a result of increased transportation costs. The department estimates two-thirds of state bridges will need rehabilitation within 20 years. As bridges deteriorate, they see a decrease in usage as they need greater weight restrictions. The greater weight restrictions impact transportation as the need for truck detours increases, increasing road congestion
ABOVE: The historic McCullough Bridge is a vital connection for the Bay Area, with thousands of vehicles moving across it every day. Alysha Beck, The World through longer commute times or creating a need for more trucks because of the smaller load capacities. Because of these increased costs, the department fears Oregon firms will be unable to compete with their global competitors, forcing businesses to move elsewhere. The problem is not new. Previous studies also have shown just how important transportation infrastructure is to the economy. In 2005, the Economic Development Research Group analyzed the costs of congestion to the Portland economy and found Oregon businesses suffering competitive disadvantages because of transportation congestion. Of those affected, Intel had to move up its departure times two hours while Sysco Foods opened up a regional distribution center in Spokane because it was more time efficient to serve the region due to congestion elsewhere. See Roads, A8
Importance of national transportation infrastructure Much like the state, the national economy is very much reliant on a dependable transportation infrastructure. Illustrating the harmful effects of traffic congestion, The National Economic Council’s report, “An Economic Analysis of Transportation Infrastructure Investment,” reported Americans spend 5.5 billion hours in traffic each year, costing more than $120 billion in added fuel and opportunity costs. Additionally, businesses pay $27 billion per year in extra freight transportation costs, increasing shipping delays and raising product costs. Besides monetary costs, there have been more than 33,000 traffic fatalities, of which road conditions significantly factored in one-third. Rural communities are more susceptible to these types of tragedies because transportation authorities place a higher impetus on improving urban areas. In the past decade, the U.S has fallen from 7th to 18th in overall quality of roads according to the World Economic Forum rankings, with countries like Estonia, Greece, Hungary and Slovenia surging ahead.

COOS BAY — Barring any last-minute fickle weather, the Oregon Dungeness commercial crab fishing season will start on time this year. “It’s been delayed the last two years, but this year we’ve got a Dec. 1 opener,” Hugh Link said on Wednesday. L ink, the executive director of the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission, said the opening is set by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and is based, up and down the coast, on the percentage of fill rate of the crab. This year, he said, the percentage was above average, to say the least. “ The testing, not only in Oregon but northern California and southern Washington, showed that the crab are extremely full and ready for harvest,” he said. “We haven’t seen fill percentage

rates in crab like this in my 11 years that I’ve been doing this.” B ut a prompt start of the season depends on three things. The weather must make for safe conditions, the crab must be sufficiently filled with meat, and a price must be set between fishermen and processors. It is that last part of the equation that most often trips up the opening of the season. This year, however, that piece of the puzzle fell into place right away. “Typically we set aside two days for See Crab, A8

Reedsport repairing major water line break Santa Arrives in Coos Bay R EEDSPORT (AP) — The city of Reedsport says crews were replacing a section of its main water line Friday after a major break in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Residents of the city of 4,100 have been advised to
store or buy water for the day. The city reported that the main water line ruptured on Wednesday, but crews were able to put temporary measures in place until the replacement work on Friday.
The city said some residents close to tanks and reservoirs may continue to have water service. Those people were asked to be sparing about using water so that it would be available for firefighting and emergency services.

The starting gun has sounded and the race has begun. Friday (Black Friday to be specific) was the official beginning of Christmas shopping. stores are hoping that this would be the time of year when they would be able to once again show a profit. I would not want to be a business owner who depended on one day a year to erase the red ink of the previous eleven months. I wonder if people think there is such a thing as “Black sunday.” You know, miss church all year long and then go on Christmas or easter and make up for all the sundays missed? God does not work that way. And, I might add, no one I know thinks that way. It just seems churches experience an influx of worshipers on those days. When I read my Bible, it tells me that every day of my life is to be a day of worship. God doesn’t want to be a sunday only God. It is His wish that we include Him in all of life. sunday is the time we all assemble to collectively bring our worship and together create a symphony that flows to the courts of heaven. God, through Jesus Christ, calls us to invite Him into our day. He blesses us with great experiences and He joins with us in our victories and our defeats. You do not need a“Black sunday” if there was such a thing. Come worship with us sunday, it can be a new beginning for you.

Opinion Shopping local - ’cause we want to
Editorial Board Jeff Precourt, Publisher Larry Campbell, Executive Editor
Ron Jackimowicz, News Editor Gail Elber, Copy Editor
Our view Shopping locally not just helps the economy; it’s what we want to do.
What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink. com.
Thanksgiving is over, and the holiday shipping season is upon us. Well, that’s how we used to do it anyway. We’re not naïve; we know the holiday shopping season kicked off well before Halloween this year, as American retailers push opening day of the biggest sales seasons of the year further and further toward Labor Day. Like it or not, this final retail push to the end of the year is essential to many businesses, especially small, locally owned operations — the kinds of places you see all around you here on the South Coast. While larger metro areas seem dominated
now by megalo-brand names and shopping mall anchor chains, small town America (that’s us) can count the number of chain stores without taking off our shoes. Local merchants still dominate. All the more reason we should patronize them as we fill our shopping lists this season. And we will. Need evidence? Well, the 2014 annual holiday survey from Deloitte, the international accounting and actuary firm, says that most shoppers want to buy locally. That’s right. All that talk about the Internet overwhelming shopping habits and telling us that
theworldlink.com/news/opinion
holiday purchases are going to the World Wide Web – well, maybe not so much. First off, an appetizer. The survey suggests 15 percent of shoppers will spend more this year than they did the previous year, up from the 2009 low of 8 percent. And 53 percent of shoppers this year believe that the U.S. economy is slowly recovering from a recession. And here’s the kicker. According to Deloitte’s survey: “While many Americans plan to shop online, our results suggest they plan on doing 52 percent of their spending in stores and only 40 percent on the Internet.” The report continues: “The
brick-and-mortar store remains vital to the holiday shopping experience, and retailers should provide consumers with an engaging in-store experience that compels consumers to come visit these stores.” Deloitte adds that 68 percent of shoppers will continue to: “webroom”(as opposed to “shoproom”) — look at items online — but go to a store to purchase them.” We think that tells it all. People still want the face-to-face buying experience. They want to see and touch what they want to buy. Embrace the urge, folks — shop local this holiday season, and Happy Holidays!
Cheers Jeers
&
We p re se n t o u r s p e c i a l Thanksgiving edition, giving you the things we wish we could have been thankful for in 2014. Oh well ... maybe next year ...
C’mon, let’s play
We wished there had been more civic-minded individuals out there (we know you’re out there; we hear you breathing) who would have thrown t h e i r h a ts i n t h e political ring and run against the cornucopia of uncontested office holders at the local level this year. Hats off to the folks who at least filed as run-in candidates who filed for an empty Coos Bay city council seat. Jeesh ...
What would our Realtor say? OK, Coos Bay city council, good start on trying to apply some “curb appeal” with the flags decision ... But going after the U.S. Coast Guard a b o u t re m ov i n g barbed wire that caused everyone to ask: “Huh, what barbed wire?” What about the crumbling dock and rusty sculpture next to the new Coos Historical and Maritime Museum? We wished for more.
Who’s in charge here?
We wished that some of our elected officials would’ve voiced their stands more forcefully this year on issues like the Community Enhancement Plan, the Mingus Park cross memorial, the Jordan Cove workers camp — well, anything that folks were talking about. Sure, you answered our questions. But we never really got a sense that you wanted to lead. We, the people, need that; that’s why we elect you. Stand up next year, please.
So much good, so little time … We wished we could be thankful that we found the time to write more stories about successes like Giddings Boat Works, Your Space Designs, the Lavender Lady, and all the other stories of successful economic efforts we chronicled this year in our South Coast Strong series.

A world outside our own
I’m glad to see that the World came out in favor of flying international flags again. I recall that some people protested that it would be un-American to fly any but an American flag in time of (endless) war. That is only true if you define “American” as someone who believes our nation to be so exceptional that international law does not apply to it. Perhaps promoting a sense of global community will lessen their support for what Ron Paul and other good
Letters to the Editor Americans call “imperialist” wars. While it’s in a mood to promote a sense of responsibility to people outside our community, I hope the editorial board will reconsider its criticism of those who object to Jordan Cove based on how it will affect others, as well as this community. The issue of fracking has not been given the respect it deserves in the debate. The practice is extremely damaging to increasingly precious water supplies. The fact that Bay Area residents do not drink that water is not a reason to ignore
how this affects other people’s children. Finally, I have yet to see anyone criticizing the selfish attitude of those who want to keep all the potential financial benefits. Those who criticize the state school fund’s equalization formula that has kept Bay Area schools afloat during hard times seem perfectly willing to cheat communities that are not willing to risk their children’s health for the sake of a short term solution to a long term problem. For shame. Rick Staggenborg, MD Coos Bay

Obituaries & State Slumber parties with mom get old E A R A B BY : My D mother has this odd habit that my younger sister, “Sara,” and I don’t agree with. It’s only the three of us in our house, and Sara and I are in high school and college. Our mother forces one of us to sleep with her in her room every night. Sara sleeps in Mom’s room more often than I do, and rarely gets a chance to sleep in her own bed. On the few occasions when Sara is sick, I sleep with Mom. But if we’re both sick, she picks one of us anyway. Dear Abby, this has bby persisted for years. I have tried many times to convince my mother to let us Jeanne s l e e p i n Phillips o u r ow n rooms, but she ignores me or accuses me of “not loving her enough.” She says the same things to Sara. I’m worried about my mother. I feel as though she’s depressed or worried about being abandoned. At the same time, I don’t want us sleeping in Mom’s bed forever. We have our own lives and rooms. What would be the best thing to do in this situation? — SLEEPOVER IN MARYLAND DEAR SLEEPOVER: Your mother is an adult who should long ago have learned to sleep alone. She should not be trying to “guilt” you and your sister into sleeping with her by accusing you of not loving her enough if you don’t spend the night in her bed. The two of you should ask her together why she’s doing this. You young ladies are old enough to simply refuse if you would rather sleep in your own rooms. But breaking this habit may not be easy for your mother, so if she says she can’t sleep without one of you with her, volunteer to stay with her until she falls asleep and THEN go to your rooms. DEAR ABBY: I am divorced after a 38-year marriage. The divorce was the result of an affair my husband had. Needless to say, it was — and still is — very painful. The betrayal almost killed me. I have been seeing a therapist who has helped me immensely, but I wonder if I will ever fully recover from the hurt. My ex has started a new life with this woman, who is almost 30 years younger than we are, and he acts like, “Oh well, it’s over.” Even though I have moved on, starting a new life at 60 wasn’t easy. Is it unreasonable to still have lingering pain and anger as a result of the lies and deceit I experienced from a man I loved and trusted. — STILL HURTING DEAR STILL HURTING: I think your feelings are normal. Something DID happen to you, and it was cataclysmic. The question is, to what degree are you willing to allow this to rule your life? You shouldn’t pretend that nothing happened, but it’s important that when your thoughts drift backward that you make a conscious effort to steer them back to the present. Devote the same energy that you spend nursing hurt and anger to focusing on the future and what makes you happy. WILL yourself to stay in the present and keep moving forward. This takes focus, practice and determination, but it can be done. And continue to maintain a relationship with your therapist, because if you do, it will provide a muchneeded “reality check” when you need one.

Oregon woman killed in repair shop explosion
The Associated Press
Howell Tree Farm employees Avery Langholz, left, and Chris Allen carry a Christmas tree to load onto a customer’s car, Wednesday in Cumming, Iowa.
Growers grateful for higher prices on Christmas trees DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Christmas trees likely will cost a little more this year, and growers like John Tillman say it’s about time. Six years of decreased demand and low prices put many growers out of business. Those who withstood the downturn are relieved they survived. “I’m awful proud to still be in the Christmas tree business,” said Tillman, who ships up to 20,000 trees each fall from nine fields south of Olympia, Washington. “We lost a lot of farmers who didn’t make it through.” Prices vary according to the variety of tree, but growers this year will see about $20 per tree, $2 more than the last several years, according to Bryan Ostlund, executive director of the Salem, Oregon-based Pacific Northwest Tree Association. Prices will likely rise as the holidays near and supply decreases. Consumers looking to deck their home could pay a little more than last year, but costs vary widely depending on factors such as transportation, tree-lot rental space and
big-box retailers’ demand that prices remain stable. For example, a 6-foot Douglas fir in Oregon, which grows about one-third of the nation’s Christmas trees, could sell for $25 while a similar tree hauled to Southern California might go for $80. Tara Deering-Hansen, a spokeswoman for Midwestern supermarket chain Hy-Vee, said wholesale tree prices have climbed slightly but prices are set at each store and customers might not see any increase. Heavy snow last week slowed the shipment of trees from Michigan, which ranks third in production and supplies much of the Midwest and parts of the South. In some loading yards, stacks of trees awaiting shipment were covered with up to 2 feet of snow. “Getting the snow off was more work than loading the trees,” said Dan Wahmhoff, co-owner of a nursery in southwestern Michigan. “It was definitely a challenge — wind and snow and cold, trucks were getting stuck — but we made it through.” In the coming years,
growers expect the supply of trees to remain stable with prices gradually increasing, in part because it takes six to seven years for a seedling to grow large enough to sell. Even with the increase, most growers are being paid less now than in the mid2000s, when trees from new and expanded farms hit the market as demand fell. And the industry still faces challenges, as competition from artificial tree manufacturers and other factors have led to a drop in trees harvested, from 20.8 million in 2002 to 17.3 million in 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Christmas Tree Association has encouraged growers to offer more options that meet the needs of younger people who live in urban areas and don’t have space for a towering tree, says executive director Rick Dungey. More growers are realizing that if they offer different looks — such as a tree that could fit on a coffee table or one thin enough to squeeze into a narrow room — people will buy them, Dungey said.

S CAPPOOSE (AP) — The Columbia County sheriff ’s office says a 43-year-old Scappoose, Oregon, woman has been killed in oxygen-fueled explosion in a truck repair shop. Sheriff ’s Lt. Dustin Hald said Friday that Kristi McKinney died Thursday in an explosion at a property leased to K&P Truck Repair. Hald says McKinney’s work partner, Paul Mares, called for help after the explosion. He was not hurt. The sheriff’s office says it appears that an oxygen tank was not turned off while the two were working. A metal grinder apparently created sparks that ignited the flammable gas. Scappoose firefighters turned off the oxygen. The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division is investigating.

B END (AP) — Police pitch automatic license plate readers as the future of nabbing bad guys on the roads.

Protests temporarily close malls, shut down trains JIM SALTER
and TOM FOREMAN Jr. Associated Press
F E RGUSO N, Mo. — Demonstrators temporarily shut down two large malls in suburban St. Louis on one of the busiest shopping days of the year Friday, as rallies were held nationwide to protest a grand jury’s recent decision not to indict the police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson. Several stores lowered their security doors or locked entrances as at least 200 protesters sprawled onto the floor while chanting, “Stop shopping and join the movement” at the Galleria mall in Richmond Heights a few miles south of Ferguson, where officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Brown, who was unarmed, in August. The protest prompted authorities to close the mall for about an hour Friday afternoon, while a
similar protest of about 50 people had the same effect at West County Mall in nearby Des Peres. It didn’t appear that any arrests were made. The protests were among the largest in the country on Black Friday, along with rallies elsewhere in the country including Chicago, New York, Seattle and northern California, where protesters chained themselves to trains. “We want to really let the world know that it is no longer business as usual,” Chenjerai Kumanyika, an assistant professor at Clemson University, said at a rally at a Wal-Mart in Manchester, another St. Louis suburb. M o n d a y n i g h t ’s announcement that Wilson, who is white, wouldn’t be indicted for fatally s h o o t i n g B row n , wh o was black, prompted violent protests that resulted in about a dozen buildings and some cars being burned. Dozens of people
said it was working. “I think people are afraid to come here,” Elledge said. “With the protests going on, you never know when or where they’re going to happen.” In northern California, more than a dozen people were arrested after about 125 protesters wearing T-shirts that read “Black Lives Matter” interrupted train service from Oakland to San Francisco, with some chaining themselves to trains. Dozens of people in Seattle blocked streets, and police some protesters also apparently chained doors shut at the nearby Pacific Place shopping center.

Homeless woman’s stun gun Austin police: Man fired spurs 2nd Amendment case 100-plus rounds downtown BOSTON (AP) — Jaime Caetano was beaten so badly by her ex-boyfriend that she ended up in the hospital. So when a friend offered her a stun gun to protect herself, she took it. Caetano, who is homeless, never had to use it but now finds herself at the center of a contentious Second Amendment case headed to the highest court in Massachusetts. The Supreme Judicial Court is being asked to decide whether a state law that prohibits private citizens from possessing stun guns infringes on their right to keep and bear arms. In an unusual twist, the court is also being asked to examine whether the Second Amendment right to defend yourself in your own home
applies in the case of a homeless person. Arguments before the court are scheduled Tuesday. Police found Caetano’s stun gun in her purse during a shoplifting investigation at a supermarket in 2011. She told police she needed it to defend herself against her violent exboyfriend, against whom she had obtained multiple restraining orders. During her trial, Caetano, 32, testified that her ex-boyfriend repeatedly came to her workplace and threatened her. One night, she showed him the stun gun and he “got scared and left me alone,” she said. She was found guilty of violating the state law that bans private possession of stun guns, devices that
deliver an electric shock when pressed against an attacker. In her appeal, her lawyer, Benjamin Keehn, argues that a stun gun falls within the meaning of “arms” under the Second Amendment. Keehn wrote in a legal brief that the state’s ban “cannot be squared with the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.” He also argues that selfdefense outside the home is part of the core right provided by the Second Amendment. Massachusetts is among only five states that ban stun guns and Tasers for private citizens, said Eugene Volokh, a constitutional law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A gunman fired more than 100 rounds at downtown buildings in Austin and tried to set the Mexican Consulate ablaze early Friday before he died during a confrontation with police, authorities said. Some of the targeted buildings are near the popular Sixth Street entertainment district, where bars close at 2 a.m., about the same time the shootings began. Thousands of people are typically on the street at that time, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said.
“Many, many rounds were fired in downtown Austin,” Acevedo said. “With all the people on the streets, we’re very fortunate. I give thanks that no one but the suspect is injured or deceased.” Investigators identified the shooter as 49-yearold Larry McQuilliams of Austin. Police said he had a criminal record but didn’t release details, and said they were still trying to determine a motive. Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department issued a statement expressing “profound

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — A half-dozen potential Republican presidential contenders spent last week peacocking across the sprawling grounds of a pink-hued luxury resort, schmoozing with donors and sizing up the competition in the party’s most fractured field in decades. They rarely criticized each other in public, but there were subtle jabs. Within hours of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gracing the cover of a magazine in an illustration of him kissing a baby’s head, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal suggested the party needs bold leaders, not
showmen. “We have enough politicians who try to be celebrities and kiss babies and cut ribbons,” Jindal said. W h e t h e r i t wa s a n intentional shot at Christie or not, the looming 2016 contest changed the context of every speech, interview and panel discussion at the Republican Governors Association’s annual conference. The summit at the oceanside Boca Raton Resort & Club felt like a test run for what is increasingly shaping up to be a brutal showdown for the GOP presidential nomination.
concern and condemnation” of the attack, but also said “there is no evidence the shots were exclusively directed at our facility.” Other targeted buildings included Austin police headquarters and the U.S. courthouse. Acevedo said a sergeant, while holding the reins of two police horses after his patrol, shot the gunman just outside the main entrance to police headquarters. But Acevedo said it’s not clear if the shot was fatal or if McQuilliams took his own life.
Cops: Beau who ate holiday meal early gets stabbed
D I G E S T
W ILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania woman chased her boyfriend around a dining room and stabbed him in the chest because he started eating Thanksgiving dinner while she slept off a bender. Authorities say Jacklyn Blake confessed to officers who responded to her Wilkes-Barre home Thursday. Officers found her boyfriend inside holding a towel over his chest. He was hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries. According to police, Blake’s boyfriend says she’d been drunk earlier in the day and attacked him after waking up from a nap.

Shoppers leave JCPenney at Pony Village Mall at 6:30 a.m. on Black Friday. Brooklyn residents Paul and Mary Phillips shopped a t Target, Old Navy and Marshalls on Friday at the A tlantic Terminal Mall i n New York City. They p icked DVD box sets for $5, marked down from $45, and speakers for $19, down from $50. They didn’t even have to wait in line. “ Because stores were open on Thursday, they’re not as crowded now,” Paul Phillips said. T here were scattered reports of shopper scuffles and arrests. In addition, protests were planned n ationwide over minimum-wage laws and the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri.

Black Friday gets a little less frenzied NEW YORK (AP) — Black Friday seemed a little less crazy this year. T here were squabbles here and there, and elbows got thrown, but the Friday morning crowds appeared smaller than usual and less frenzied, in part because m any Americans took advantage of stores’ earlier opening hours to do their shopping on Thanksgiving Day. That might be hard to stomach for people worr ied about commercial encroachment on Thanksgiving. But it is good news for bargain-hunters who hate crowds. Whether it’s good news for retailers remains to be seen. Sales estimates for t he start of the holiday shopping season will start trickling out later in the weekend. Stores such as Wal-Mart and Target reported brisk Thanksgiving crowds. The colossal Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, said it drew 100,000 p eople between 5 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday, nearly what it draws over a typical full day. O n Friday, plenty of shoppers were out, but it wasn’t elbow-to-elbow, s aid Moody’s analyst Michael Zucchero, at a mall in northern Connecticut. “ Traffic seems a little l ight,” he said. “Stores being open last night takes a way some of the early birds.”

In its 2007 study, “The Cost of Highway Limitations and Traffic Delay to O regon’s Economy,” the group found one in five jobs were either transportationrelated or -reliant, showing the importance of having dependable infrastructure. C oastal communities l ike Coos Bay and North B end would suffer more significant losses because t hey face higher costs to m ove freight to export markets. “ T h e se s t u d i e s a re important for the Oregon economy to remain vital,” d epartment spokesman D avid Thompson said. “Oregon businesses require a strong, dependable transportation system so there’s a huge price tag of doing nothing.” Additionally, while Oregonians currently have the lowest annual car ownership costs, poor pavement conditions will have a subs tantial impact on commuter costs. C onsisting of repairs, taxes or fees, gasoline and insurance costs, Bankrate. c om estimated Oregon vehicle ownership costs at $2,204 per vehicle, compared to the U.S. average of $3,201. Oregonians also pay less in taxes and fees — $157 per year, 85 percent less than the U.S. average of $1,058. B ut Oregon’s $380 in r epair costs exceeds the U.S. average by 7.6 percent and would grow considerably should pavement conditions not be addressed. B ankrate.com further e stimated that Oregon vehicle repair costs could r ise to $646 and gasol ine from $942 to $1,055 as a penalty for driving on rough versus smooth pavement. Validating those projections, the National Cooperative Highway Research P rogram estimated very r ough pavement drops fuel efficiency 12 percent, i ncreases tire wear by 5 percent, increases wear and m aintenance 70 percent and increases auto operating costs by 22 percent.
Bridge replacement and retrofitting With the current rate of deterioration, the department anticipates not havi ng enough resources to
cover needs as bridges age. Compounding the bridge problems are the increasing likelihood of a significant seismic event occurring in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. As part of its vulnerability study, the department recommended implementing the Seismic Plus Program, a $5.1 billion, fivep hase bridge retrofitting and replacement program. The study concluded the project would save $84 billion in lost economic activity. F or Oregon’s coast, the program estimates to reduce losses from 63 percent to 34 percent in year one alone. W h i l e e m p l oy m e n t losses would still be large at 52 percent in year one for the area stretching from Coos Bay to Florence, the number is significantly less than the 78 percent loss in employment if no actions were taken. For Bay Area residents, t he McCullough Bridge i s included in Phase 5 of the plan, which estimates the bridge replacement at roughly $307.7 million. “We know sooner or later an earthquake is going to happen,” Thompson said. “ You pay for it now, and you’re not going to like it or you pay a lot more later.”
Proactive vs. reactive repairs Just like with its earthquake program, the department found proactive pavement and highway investing lowers the cost burden versus reactive repair. B ased on the current funding and deterioration scenario, it would cost the s tate $3.4 billion to $5.2 billion to repair pavement and $5.4 billion to $7.2 billion to repair highways just to return them to current conditions in 20 years if no actions were taken. They estimated an addit ional $100 million in f unding per year would a llow the state to maintain pavement conditions at the current level, while an additional $180 million per year would allow the s tate to maintain bridge c onditions over the next 20 years. O ver the same time p eriod, the department e stimated the program would cost $15 per month f or the typical two-car family. “I know people are going to think it’s ODOT asking f or money, but it’s not,” T hompson said. “This is an investment in the state.”

Police: Blasts at mosque in Nigeria kill 35 people K ANO, Nigeria (AP) — Multiple explosions tore through the central mosque in Nigeria’s second-largest city on Friday, killing 35 people, police said. One hundred and fifty others sustained various degrees of injury in the
blasts in the city of Kano, State Deputy Police Commissioner Sanusi Lemu said. Hundreds had gathered to listen to a sermon in a region terrorized by attacks from the militant group Boko Haram.
Witnesses said heavy smoke could be seen billowing in the sky from a long distance away. Immediately after the blasts, hundreds of angry youth took to the streets in riots, throwing stones, brandishing sticks and shouting at
security officials. The palace of the Emir of Kano is near the central mosque. Palace officials told AP that the Emir, one of the highest ranking Islamic figures in Nigeria, is currently out of the country.
Boko Haram has not claimed responsibility, but the attack bears the hallmarks of the militant group that has carried out numerous such attacks in northern Nigeria, including in Kano. In September, two suicide bombers killed at least 15 students at a government college and in July, five suicide bombings were carried out over the course of a week. More than 1,500 have been killed this year in the insurgency. The attack drew cond e m n a t i o n f ro m U. N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who called the attack “horrific,” pledged U.N. support for Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, and called for the perpetrators to be swiftly brought to justice, according to his spokesman. N i ge r i a n P re s i d e n t Goodluck Ebele Jonathan condemned the attack and reiterated the government’s determination to “continue to take every step to put an end to the reprehensible
acts of all groups and persons involved in acts of terrorism.” He called on all Nigerians “to remain united to confront the common enemy” by being vigilant and cooperating with security agencies. He also called on relief agencies and medical staff to “deploy every possible effort to assist the injured” and urged the public to donate blood to the hospitals where they are treated. Meanwhile, a police anti-bomb squad defused six bombs planted near a mosque and a market in the northeastern city of Maiduguri on Friday, according to Borno state police spokesman Gideon Jubrin. Fears are running high in Maiduguri, a major commercial center and historic city of more than 1 million people, after two female suicide bombers detonated explosives on Tuesday at a commercial center. At least 70 people were killed.
Swiss to vote on gold-buying plan GENEVA (AP) — In Switzerland, a campaign is on to protect the country’s wealth by investing in gold — a lot of gold. In a test of their sense of financial security, the Swiss are being asked to vote on a proposal to make the central bank hold a fifth of its reserves in gold within five years. That would mean buying about 1,500 metric tons, or 1,650 short tons, of gold worth more than $60 billion. If the initiative wins the backing of a majority of voters this Sunday, the Swiss National Bank would also be prohibited from spending any of the

treasure, which would have to be locked away in vaults entirely on Swiss soil. The prospect risks causing a spike in gold prices globally. The nationalist Swiss People’s Party, the country’s largest, has brought the “Save our Swiss Gold” initiative, arguing it will restore trust in the central bank and its paper money. The proposal is opposed by the government and financial leaders but aims to capitalize on a growing sense of caution among the Swiss about the perceived dangers and increasing volatility of financial markets.

Pope urges more Muslim opposition to IS in Turkey A NKARA, Turkey (AP) — Pope Francis urged Muslim leaders to condemn the “barbaric violence” being committed in Islam’s name against religious minorities in Iraq and Syria as he arrived in neighboring Turkey on Friday for a delicate visit aimed at improving interfaith ties. Francis sought to offer a balanced message as he met with Turkish political and religious officials at the start of his second trip to the Middle East this year. He reaffirmed that military force was justified to halt the Islamic State group’s advance, and called for greater dialogue between Christians, Muslims and people of all faiths to end fundamentalism. “As religious leaders, we are obliged to denounce all violations against human dignity and human rights,” Francis told Mehmet Gormez, Turkey’s top cleric and other religious officials gathered at the government-run Religious Affairs Directorate. “As such, any violence which seeks religious justification warrants the strongest condemnation because the omnipotent is the God of life and peace.” Francis condemned the “barbaric violence” by IS against Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities and the destruction of their places of worship.

SWOCC wins at tourney
NB FOOTBALL
THE WORLD T he Southwestern Oregon Community College women’s basketball team beat Olympic 66-41 in the opening round of the Clackamas Thanksgiving Classic. “Defensively, we did a pretty good job,” Laker coach Mike Herbert said. “We knew we had to contain the drive and keep them out of the lane. We did a pretty good job staying down and containing.” Aminata Cole had 12 points and 12 rebounds in her first action of the season for the Lakers. Nike Lee had a team-high 19 points and 10 boards and North Bend graduate Brooke Davison had seven points and eight rebounds. The Lakers struggled scoring, shooting 38 percent overall and 22 percent on 3-pointers. “I’m pleased,” Herbert said. “We probably could have scored more, but we played well defensively.” The Lakers forced 17 turnovers, though they committed 24. They scored 23 points more than Olympic despite taking 21 fewer shots. The Lakers play Umpqua in the semifinals today. “It will be a good test. They played before us tonight (beating George Fox junior varsity) and they looked just as good as ever.

Westbrook returns to lead Thunder to win CLIFF BRUNT
The Associated Press
O KLAHOMA CITY — The crowd roared when Russell Westbrook was introduced, and he gave Thunder fans what they had been anticipating for a month. Oklahoma City’s point guard scored 32 points in his first game back from a broken right hand, and the Thunder rolled past the Knicks 105-78 on Friday night. Westbrook was injured in the second game of the season and hadn’t played since. He returned in grand fashion, making 12 of 17 shots, including 3 of 4 3-pointers, and adding eight assists and seven rebounds in just 23 minutes before checking out late in the third quarter because the Thunder were in control. “It was exciting, man,” he said. “I’m just blessed to be able to go out and play the game I love to play, especially with my teammates. The crowd was great, the energy was high. So it was fun to be out there.” He said his conditioning was good, but not great. “The crowd helped me out,” he said. “I’ll fight through it. Just keep going and keep going, and hopefully, somebody calls a timeout.” Knicks coach Derek Fisher, a former Thunder point guard who has played with and against Westbrook, saw what he expected from the threetime All-Star. “I think that’s the way Russell plays no matter what the situation is,” Fisher said. “First game or 80th game, he’s going to play with a lot of energy, intensity and passion. He was great tonight, but they were a better team than us tonight.” A m a r e S to u d e m i r e had 20 points and nine rebounds for the Knicks, who shot 39 percent from the field and scored a season-low point total in their third straight loss. Carmelo Anthony, a Top 10 scorer in the league, missed his second straight game with back spasms. He said before the game he was unsure when he would return. Serge Ibaka scored 14 points and Jeremy Lamb added 13 points for the Thunder, who won consecutive games for the first time this season. Reigning

After the second of back-to-back 3-pointers, he motioned like he was putting a gun back into a holster. By the time he took a break with 3:33 left in the first quarter, he had 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting and had four assists. The Thunder continued to roll. Lamb came off the bench for Westbrook and scored 11 points during a 15-3 run that gave Oklahoma City a 40-13 lead. Westbrook returned and he stayed hot.

Gonzaga beats St. John’s to win NIT N EW YORK (AP) — Domantas Sabonis had 14 points and eight rebounds to help No. 10 Gonzaga beat St. John’s 73-66 on Friday night in the NIT Season Tip-Off championship game. The 6-foot-10 Sabonis, the son of former NBA center Arvydas Sabonis, was 6 for 6 from the field off the bench. “He’s basically a starter,” Bulldogs coach Mark Few said. “It’s nice to have somebody like that. I mean, he’s thought of as such and I trust him that much. That’s why we play him at the end of the games, even switching ball screens with him; so putting him on
guards after they set a ball screen.” Few said Sabonis will be the X-factor for the Bulldogs. “I think we may be different than years past,” Few said. “We’ve got an upside. I think he’s going to get nothing but better and our team will adapt as he does get better.” Gary Bell Jr. added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Bulldogs (6-0). “We’ve got a long time before we hit conference play,” Few said. “We’ve got some things we need to work on this week. But again, we came back here, we were challenged. We played some very good teams. I think we played
two NCAA Tournament teams, which I think is a good sign. We played experienced teams in both Georgia and St. John’s that are hungry to get back to the tournament, to beat a ranked team. We had to fight them.” Gonzaga built a 15-point lead midway through the second half, but St. John’s cut it to three at 69-66 with 1:01 remaining. Kevin Pangos missed a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left, and St. John’s Rysheed Jordan missed a layup with 27 seconds to go. Gonzaga’s Byron Wesley and St. John’s’ D’Angelo Harrison then traded turnovers. Pangos made two free
throws to put the game out of reach and give the Bulldogs a 71-66 lead. Phil Greene IV led St. John’s (4-1) with 20 points. Jordan had 18 points and D’Angelo Harrison added 15. “We did some good things, but we are not big on moral victories,” St. John’s coach Steve Lavin said. “I was pleased with the fight our guys had in them tonight. Coming back from 15-down with just over 10 minutes left with the degree of foul trouble that we had going against a top-10 team. We expect to win, so the disappointment is that we didn’t finish it off and win a championship tonight.”

Spieth shares lead in Australia SYDNEY (AP) — American Jordan Spieth shot a 2-under 69 to move into a three-way share of the lead at the Australian Open after Saturday’s third round. Adam Scott stayed close while defending champion Rory McIlroy dropped five shots in two holes and shot 76. Spieth, second-round leader Greg Chalmers (71) and fellow Australian Brett Rumford (69) had threeround totals of 5-under 208 on a tough Australian Golf Club course and its swirling, unpredictable winds. Only eight players were under par. Scott shot 69 and was tied for fourth, a stroke behind the leading trio, along with Australian veteran Rod Pampling (69). McIlroy, who had a triple bogey on the ninth hole and a double-bogey on 10, was six strokes from the lead, tied for 14th. He was tied for the lead at 4-under and even on the day when he hit his tee shot on the par-4 ninth into waist-high rough. After failing to advance it and burying it in matting used to control weeds, he took a penalty drop, sliced that and finally got on the green in 5, where he twoputted for 7. The Northern Irishman and world No. 1 then hit his approach on 10 into woodchips, failed to advance it back to the grass on his next shot, and two-putted for a six. He bounced back briefly with a birdie on the par-3

The round of the day was a 67 by Australian Daniel Nisbet, who teed off in the first group Saturday morning before the wind picked up.

Rice wins appeal, reinstatement to NFL NFL suspension vacated immediately because of ‘arbitrary’ decision BARRY WILNER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — An arbitrator Friday threw out Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension by the NFL for punching his then-fiancee and now wife in a hotel elevator, freeing him to play again. The NFL said Rice, a free agent, is “eligible to play upon signing a new contract.” Whether any team will consider signing him is another matter. Former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones said Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision in September to change Rice’s
original suspension from two games to indefinite was “arbitrary” and an “abuse of discretion.” Jo n e s wa s d e c i d i n g whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice’s two-game suspension after video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching Janay became public. Rice was released by the Ravens when the video went public. Rice and the union contended he was essentially sentenced twice, and Jones agreed, saying Rice “did not lie to or mislead the NFL.” She noted in her decision that after Goodell increased the punishment for a first offense under the personal conduct policy from two to six games, “the commissioner called Rice to assure him that the new policy would not affect him — that it
was forward-looking and his penalty would not be increased.” The punishment changed, though, after the video was released. In her decision, Jones also wrote: “Because Rice did not mislead the commissioner and because there were no new facts on which the commissioner could base his increased suspension, I find that the imposition of the indefinite suspension was arbitrary. I therefore vacate the second penalty imposed on Rice. “The provisions of the first discipline — those regarding making continued use of counseling and other professional services, having no further involvement with law enforcement, and not committing any additional violations of league policies — still stand.”
The NFL said it accepted the decision. “ We r e s p e c t J u d g e Jones’s decision to reinstate Ray Rice from his indefinite suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy in an incident of domestic violence,” spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press. “Ray Rice is a free agent and has been eligible to be signed by an NFL team since he was released by the Ravens. Based on Judge Jones’ decision, he will be eligible to play upon signing a new contract.” But Rice has not played all season, and was coming off a weak 2013 season. And there is the immeasurable public relations issues that could accompany any team signing him — this season or in the future. Rice said Friday in a statement released by the
players’ union: “I would like to thank Ju d ge B a r b a ra Jo n e s, the NFL Players Association, my attorneys, agents, advisers, family, friends and fans — but most importantly, my wife Janay. I made an inexcusable mistake and accept full responsibility for my actions. I am thankful that there was a proper appeals process in place to address this issue. I will continue working hard to improve myself and be the best husband, father and friend, while giving back to my community and helping others to learn from my mistakes.” Goodell and the Rices testified at the hearing, as did NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome. During his appearance, Goodell told Jones: “I do accept that I have to be
Lions cruise to easy victory
Big wins turn Seahawks’ season around TIM BOOTH
The Associated Press
ENTON, Wash. — R Less than a week ago, the question was whether the Seattle Seahawks were on the verge of falling out of contention in the NFC West and on their way to being the latest Super Bowl champion to miss the playoffs. And in five days, the Sea h awks co m p l e te ly changed the tenor of their season. Seattle’s 19-3 win over San Francisco on Thursday night elevated the Seahawks from just being in the playoff race. With a defense that appears to be returning to its 2013 form, Seattle is back in the conversation among the best in the NFC. “We’re having a good time. We’re dedicated to one another right now. When you’re on the field playing for one another, we’re playing like some 9-year-old, 10-year-old kids, not worried about the outcome, not worried about individual stats or anything like that,” cornerback Richard Sherman said after his two interceptions against the 49ers. “Guys are just playing really hard for one another, enjoying one another. When a team’s playing like that, we’re really hard to beat.” It was the Seahawks’ second straight 19-3 victory following their win over NFC West-leading Arizona last Sunday. The dominance of Seattle’s defense was overwhelming
in both victories and the first time since 2005 — when Seattle made its first Super Bowl trip — the Seahawks did not allow a touchdown in consecutive games. The 164 total yards allowed to the 49ers were a season-low for Seattle and the ninth time since 2010 the Seahawks have held an opponent under 200 total yards. Seattle is 18-1 in regular season and playoff games under Pete Carroll when holding its opponent under 250 total yards — and both the 49ers and Cardinals have been added to that total in the past week. “Everybody feels very clear about what we’re trying to get done now,” Carroll said on his radio show Friday morning. “We’re on point with what it takes to prepare and take it to game time.” Much of what Seattle (8-4) has accomplished on defense can be attributed to the return of middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and the improved health of strong safety Kam Chancellor. Wagner led Seattle with 10 tackles against the 49ers while Chancellor — after being named NFC defensive player of the week for his game against Arizona — helped to make San Francisco’s run game a nonfactor and silence Vernon Davis. The 49ers finished with 64 yards rushing and Davis had two catches for 13 yards. “We talk about finishing. We’re a team that preaches finishing all the

Despite playing two physical opponents in five
days, the Seahawks managed to avoid major injury. Carroll said on his radio show Friday there were no injuries out of Thursday’s game. For as well as Seattle has played defensively the past two weeks, there are two glaring concerns going forward. Seattle has struggled to finish drives with touchdowns and penalties continue to add up. The Seahawks have
seen Steven Hauschka kick 10 field goals in the past three games. That’s good. The downside is seven of those have come inside of 40 yards, meaning Seattle’s offense has stalled inside the opponents’ 25. Twice against Kansas City, twice against Arizona and once more on Thursday night, the Seahawks drove inside the opponents’ 15 and settled for a field goal.
Eagles alone in first after win over Dallas ROB MAADDI

P H I L A D E L P H I A — Mark Sanchez outplayed To n y R o m o . L e S e a n McCoy doubled DeMarco Murray’s rushing total. The defense dominated a heralded offensive line. The Philadelphia Eagles made it clear they’re still the team to beat in the NFC East with a convincing 33-10 win at Dallas on Thanksgiving. The Eagles (9-3) took over sole possession of first place going into the final month, but will play the Cowboys (8-4) again Dec. 14 at home. “Dallas gets a lot of hype. They have good players but we have a good team, too,” McCoy said. “Every team has it’s day. I’m sure the next time we play them it will be a tougher game, even if it is in Philly.”
Mc C oy ra n fo r 1 59 yards and a touchdown. He went over 1,000 yards for the fourth time in five years, topping 100 yards for the fourth time in the last seven games after not doing it in the first five. The reigning NFL rushing champion may not catch Murray, but he’s focused on team goals. “The best running back in the league is the one who wins the Super Bowl,” McCoy said. The Eagles will have to finish one game ahead of Green Bay (8-3) and Arizona (9-2) to earn a first-round bye because they lost to the Packers and Cardinals. Next up is tough matchup against the defending Super Bowl champions. The Seattle Seahawks (8-4) visit Philadelphia on Dec. 7 following a win at San Francisco on Thursday night.

The union called again for collective bargaining to produce a new personal conduct policy.

We expect this policy to be completed and announced in the weeks ahead. Our focus is on consistently enforcing an improved policy going forward.”
before they begin preparations for the Seahawks. There won’t be any quarterback controversy when the team returns to practice. Making his fourth start for the injured Nick Foles, Sanchez played his best game of the season. He finished 20 of 29 for 217 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Foles still isn’t ready to play after breaking his collarbone on Nov. 2, but Sanchez may not relinquish the starting job. “Dream come true,” Sanchez said of resurrecting his career after being dumped by the New York Jets. “Best of times, worst of times. A lot of people would love to be in this position.” The key to Philadelphia’s success on offense was the line. A group that’s been depleted by injuries throughout the season is playing better now that four of the five regular

With McCoy leading the way, the Eagles had 256 yards rushing. Chris Polk had 48 and even Sanchez chipped in with 28. “We finally started to see the cohesion,” center Jason Kelce said. “We’ve had some continuity along the offense line for a little
while now. It’s not that guys went in and did a bad job. Guys that went in did great individual jobs. When you have five guys working together and really on the same page, this was the best we’ve been throughout the season. And there’s still room for improvement.”
DETROIT — For weeks, Detroit fans could only wonder how tough the Lions might be if they had a chance to play the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead. In a Thanksgiving victory over Chicago, the Lions finally enjoyed that feeling. With Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and the rest of the offense showing some long-overdue signs of life, Detroit beat the Bears 34-17 on Thursday, and sure enough, once the Lions took the lead in the second quarter, their defense never looked all that likely to give it up. Detroit’s top-ranked run defense held Chicago to 13 yards on the ground, and the Lions sacked Jay Cutler three times. “I think we, as the players and coaches, kind of got a feel for what they were doing, we just reacted a little bit quicker,” Detroit linebacker DeAndre Levy said. “We kind of got a feel for what they were doing and adjusted accordingly.” The Bears have one of the league’s top running backs in Matt Forte, and they barely even tried to establish any sort of ground game. Forte finished with 6 yards on five carries. With no real running threat to worry about, the Lions could focus on Cutler, and although the Bears had mild success with screens and short passes early on to counteract Detroit’s pass rush, it was hard for Chicago to accomplish much throwing deep. “When you have a player like Forte, I think he only had like five or six carries,” Levy said. “I think something has to be said for our defense.” Detroit’s previous three victories all came in the final minutes, with the offense needing to come from behind. The defense was crucial in those games too, preventing deficits from becoming insurmountable. Thursday was different. The Lions led by double digits for almost the entire final quarter, putting the pressure squarely on Chicago. Detroit’s ability to stop the run does not guarantee anything. With passing numbers becoming more prolific seemingly every year in the NFL, opponents don’t necessarily need to run the ball to win. The New England Patriots hardly ran at all in the first half against Detroit last weekend, and Tom Brady’s passing ability was enough to put them on the path to a 34-9 victory. The Lions still have another game remaining against Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay.

Stanford shoots down UCLA’s title hopes GREG BEACHAM
The Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. — When Kevin Hogan led Stanford onto the hallowed Rose Bowl turf for the fourth time in three years, the quarterback realized the stakes were a whole lot higher for No. 9 UCLA, which could clinch the Pac-12 South with a victory. Hogan and the Cardinal were only playing for fun — and the two-time defending conference champions had a boatload of it while ruining the Bruins’ season yet again. Hogan passed for 234 yards and two touchdowns, and Stanford crushed UCLA’s hopes for the division title and a College Football Playoff spot with a 31-10 victory Friday. “We knew that this meant a lot to them, but
we wanted to come out and get a win for our seniors, for our team,” Hogan said. “We haven’t lost to them since we’ve been here, and we wanted to keep that streak going.” D e vo n C a j u s te a n d Michael Rector caught scoring passes for the Cardinal (7-5, 5-4 Pac-12) as the two-time defending conference champions salvaged some satisfaction from a down season by trouncing the Bruins (9-3, 6-3) for the seventh consecutive time. “I’d say it’s the best game that everyone has played all year,” Cajuste said. “There was finally a time when Stanford played all four quarters in all three phases of the game, so it’s great to see an improvement not just from Hogan, but everyone else.” With Hogan’s dynamite 16-for-19 performance
and two rushing TDs from Remound Wright, Stanford snatched the South title away from UCLA and handed it to Arizona, a 42-35 winner over Arizona State on Friday. “We had higher expectations than that,” Brett Hundley said. “To put a performance together like that, it’s shocking.” Hundley passed for 146 yards in likely his final home game for the Bruins, losing a matchup with Hogan for the fourth time in three years. While Hogan starred, Hundley endured the third-worst passing game of his 39 career starts before finishing on the sideline with an injured throwing hand. Just six days after a blowout win over rival Southern California, UCLA retained none of that momentum or passion in its third home loss of the
season. The Bruins’ latest flop in a big game ended their five-game winning streak, which had given them an outside shot at the four-team playoff after a slow start. “The reward we would have got for winning this game, it hurts,” UCLA linebacker Myles Jack said. “We were aware of what was to come if we handled our business, but it didn’t happen that way.” After an up-and-down season, an inspired Hogan made sure the Cardinal didn’t miss top receiver Ty Montgomery, who sat out with a shoulder injury. Hogan completed his first 12 passes, scrambled for key yards and showed poise in the pocket, particularly in avoiding a sack before uncorking a 37-yard TD The Associated Press throw to Cajuste 41 seconds before halftime to cap Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan, right, celebrates a touchdown as a 92-yard drive.

Arizona nabs spot in Pac-12 title game JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez didn’t want the score of the UCLA-Stanford game to be displayed inside Arizona Stadium, nor did he want word to leak down to the sideline. The focus had to be on beating rival Arizona State in the Territorial Cup. If that led to the Pac-12 South title, even better. It worked out perfectly on both counts for the Wildcats. Nick Wilson ran for 178 yards and three touchdowns and No. 12 Arizona held off No. 13 Arizona State 42-35 on Friday to claim the Pac-12 South title. “Right after the game when I was walking out to shake Coach (Todd) Graham’s hand, I think either my wife or my son said: ‘Did you know UCLA lost?’” Rodriguez said. “That made me bounce a little more in the air.” Arizona (10-2, 7-2 Pac-12, CFP No. 11) needed to beat its biggest rival and have Stanford knock off No. 9 UCLA to win the Pac-12 South. The Cardinal took care of the first part by rolling over the Bruins. The Wildcats handled their end with a stream of big plays and a final defensive stand. Anu Solomon was a little slow after an ankle injury last week, but threw for 208 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Samajie Grant. Wilson was again explosive, bursting off for a 72-yard touchdown run in the second half after running for 218 yards last week. Arizona’s defense had a touchdown on the game’s third play, a goal-line stand and forced a turnover on downs after Arizona State started its final drive near midfield. The victory combined with Stanford’s win earned the Wildcats a rematch with No. 3 Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship game on Dec.

5 at Levi’s Stadium in the Bay Area. Arizona beat the Ducks 31-24 in Eugene on Oct. 2. “This is what you live for,” said Arizona safety Jourdan Grandon, who had a key interception late. The Sun Devils (9-3, 6-3, CFP No. 13) had trouble getting out of their own way. Their offense had a turnover that led to a score on its first drive, another to set up Arizona with a short field for a touchdown and couldn’t punch it in with four tries inside Arizona’s 3. ASU’s defense was hit with two long scoring plays and wasn’t able to consistently stop the Wildcats. Mike Bercovici provided a spark after replacing Taylor Kelly at quarterback, but a final drive stalled at Arizona’s 40, dashing the Sun Devils’ hopes of a second straight Pac-12 South title. “I hate to come in here and say we beat ourselves, but that’s really what we did,” Graham said. The latest Duel in the Desert for the Territorial Cup was arguably the most anticipated in the rivalry’s 88-game history. The usual bragging rights were there, of course. A shot at the Pac12 South for both teams added to it. The game lived up to the hype, too, the big plays coming right out of the gate. Arizona scored 44 seconds in on Anthony Lopez’s 25-yard fumble recovery after Scooby Wright sacked and stripped Kelly. The Sun Devils tied it on a defensive touchdown of their own when
Demetrius Cherry rumbled in for a 2-yard score after Solomon bobbled and snap and couldn’t cover it. Two of the nation’s best offenses, two defensive touchdowns to start — of course. More big plays followed, on offense instead. Grant caught a ball down the sideline, made a couple of jukes and cut back for a 69-yard touchdown. Jalen Strong, as he usually does, answered spectacularly: laying out for a 50-yard reception, nonchalantly snaring a 3-yard touchdown catch with his left hand to tie it at 14l. Wilson put Arizona back up on a 21-yard run on fourth-and-short. A muffed punt by Devonte Neal set up a 7-yard touchdown pass from Kelly to Demario Richard that pulled the Sun Devils even at halftime. “It was eerily quiet at halftime,” Rodriguez said. “They weren’t really saying much, but at about the 9-minute mark of halftime, they were ready to get back onto the field.” Arizona seemed to take control in the third quarter, gaining a little breathing room when Wilson scored on 1-yard dive and a 72-yard burst up the middle to put the Wildcats up 35-21. Bercovici gave the Sun Devils a lift, then a letdown after replacing Kelly late in the third quarter. He hit tight end Kody Kohl on a 2-yard TD pass early in the fourth, but threw a ball into coverage that Grandon picked off, setting up Arizona with a short field.
AUSTIN, Texas — TCU took the field on Thanksgiving night determined to send a message to the rest of college football. The sixth-ranked Horned Frogs delivered one with a 48-10 romp over Texas, and the tens of thousands of their fans who stuck around to the end will be happy to keep chanting “T-C-U!” to anyone who may have missed it. Are you listening, College Football Playoff committee? Trevone Boykin passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, and TCU’s defense dominated the Longhorns and quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, sending Texas to one of the worst home losses in program history. The win kept the Horned Frogs (10-1, 7-1) in the hunt for their first Big 12 title. The question is whether it was impressive enough to impact the playoff standings, where they sit at No. 5, one spot out of contention for a national championship. “You want style points? The style points tonight were defense, turnovers, doing the things you needed to do,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. The Horned Frogs forced six turnovers, five by
Swoopes, and scored on an early fumble return and a late interception. TCU held Texas (6-6, 5-4) to 290 total yards and made the Longhorns pay for every mistake. Five of Texas’ turnovers set up 24 points for the Horned Frogs. TCU plays Iowa State, the last-place team in the Big 12, to end the regular season on Dec. 6. The playoff pairings will be announced the next day. “You know, this team deserves to go home and win a championship,” Patterson said. “We’ve got one more to do it, and I’m very proud of them. I’m finally going to go maybe smile once, but we’ve got to get ready to play Iowa State.” Always an outsider, the move to the Big 12 was supposed to end the national debate over whether the Horned Frogs deserved a place among college football’s elite if they were in position to win the league. The prospect of winning the Big 12 title and still getting left out of the playoff would be a bitter pill for the Horned Frogs. Their major problem? A 61-58 loss at Baylor in which they squandered a big fourth-quarter lead. And the Horned Frogs left plenty of room for doubt when they struggled to beat a struggling Kansas team two weeks ago.
Portland State fires Burton WIRE AND STAFF REPORTS PORTLAND — Portland State fired coach Nigel Burton on Wednesday after a 3-9 record this season. The Big Sky Conference’s Vikings are 21-36 in five years with Burton at the helm. Interim athletic director Valerie Cleary thanked Burton but said it was time for a “fresh start.” “We appreciate what Coach Burton has done for the program, but we believe new leadership gives our talented players a chance to make a fresh start,” Cleary said in a story on the Portland State website. Burton was defensive coordinator at Nevada when he was hired by Portland State to replace coach Jerry Glanville in 2009. Portland State will pay Burton final year left on his contract. Bruce Barnum, Portland State’s offensive coordinator the past five seasons, will serve as interim coach. Marshfield graduate Steve Cooper has been Burton’s receivers coach. Cooper is the longesttenured coach for the Vikings, having joined the staff a year before Burton’s
arrival. Cooper said Wednesday that for him, it’s “business as usual” for now. “I’m going to work on recruiting,” he said. “It’s a wait-and-see game.” Cleary and President Wim Wiewel informed Burton of the decision on Wednesday morning. Burton was hired to replace Jerry Glanville in 2009. Prior to coming to PSU, Burton was a defensive coordinator at University of Nevada. “Coach Burton had a good second year, and he was very successful at recruiting players from Oregon and Washington, and has two former players now playing in the NFL,” Cleary said. “We have great student-athletes and staff. They deserve the chance to be successful.” “I want to thank our a l u m n i a n d fa n s a n d remind them that it’s an exciting time for all of PSU Athletics,” Wiewel said. “We’ll soon be hiring a new athletic director who will decide on a permanent head coach and start construction on our new Viking Pavilion Athletic and educational building.”

Nebraska rallies to beat Iowa in overtime IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Nebraska found itself down 17 points and staring at a devastating third straight loss. Tommy Armstrong Jr. l ed the Huskers on one of the best comebacks in school history — and took some heat off of embattled coach Bo Pelini. K enny Bell caught a 9 -yard touchdown pass in overtime and Nebraska rallied to beat Iowa 37-34 on Friday, snapping a twogame losing streak. Tommy Armstrong Jr. had four TD passes for the Cornhuskers (9-3, 5-3 Big Ten), who trailed by as much as 24-7 before storming back in the second half. Nebraska tied the school record for its largest road
comeback. “That is one of the gutsiest performances from a quarterback that I’ve seen in a long time,” said Pelini, whose job status was again a hot topic this week, of A rmstrong. “There isn’t a nybody who competes harder than he does.” Armstrong’s impressive effort came during one of the wackier Big Ten games in recent memory. I owa scored a touchdown on offense, defense and special teams and still couldn’t hold off the Huskers. Jordan Canzeri caught a 5-yard touchdown pass with 1:49 left in regulation to put Iowa ahead 31-28. But Drew Brown’s 20-yard field goal with 8 seconds
left forced overtime. A rmstrong threw TD passes to Taariq Allen and Bell, and De’Mornay Piers on-El’s 80-yard punt return for a touchdown put Nebraska ahead 28-24 with 12:06 left in the fourth.

Western Kentucky’s Willie McNeal makes the game-winning catch in overtime for the two point conversion against Marshall on Friday.
Western Kentucky spoils Marshall’s perfect record H UNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Western Kentucky coach Jeff Brohm didn’t want a crazy game with No. 19 Marshall to go on any longer. If he got the chance in overtime, Brohm had already decided to try a 2-point conversion instead of settling for an extra-point kick to tie it. A fter Brandon Doughty threw his Conference USA-record eighth t ouchdown pass, he hit Willie McNeal for the winning 2-point conversion in overtime to lift Western Kentucky over the previously unbeaten Thundering Herd 67-66 Friday. Brohm’s decision was made in part because kicker Garrett Schwettman injured an ankle in the third quarter when he was roughed up on a blocked field goal. “I knew we had to go for it or the game would keep going on,” Brohm said. “We said right after regulation if we score, we’re going to go for two. We did and it was a huge play by Brandon and Willie.” It capped a dizzying contest that broke numerous records and ended likely Marshall’s chance to play in a marquee New Year’s bowl. A mong the records that went down: the 15 combined TD passes were the most in a game involving an FBS team. Houston and Eastern
Washington combined for 14 in 1990, and the record for two FBS teams was 13 accomplished four times. A Marshall defense that was the b est in the conference allowed a school-record 738 yards. “It’s a shock,” Marshall tight end Eric Frohnapfel said. “That was sort of the look on everyone’s face. It’s frustrating and people are angry.” Western Kentucky (7-5, 4-4) foiled Marshall’s bid for the fourth perfect season in school history. The teams tied the Bowl Subdivision record for the most combined points scored in a game involving a ranked team, set when West Virginia beat Baylor 70-63 in 2012. It was the highest-scoring game in Conference USA history, eclipsing East Carolina’s 65-59 win over M arshall in double overtime in 2012. M arshall (11-1, 7-1) saw its 1 3-game home winning streak snapped. T he College Football Playoff committee will pick one team from outside the five major conferences for one guaranteed spot in either the Fiesta, Cotton or Peach bowls. Marshall was 24th in the CFP this week, one place behind Boise State, which plays Utah State on Saturday.
M arshall already has qualified for next week’s conference championship and will meet the winner of today’s game between Rice and Louisiana Tech. Doughty increased his FBS-leading TD pass total to 44. “It’s just a confidence booster,” Doughty said. “I’m trying to compete with myself. They made a couple of comments before the game that shook me the wrong way and it motivated me to put up a big performance.” Doughty broke the previous conference record of six TD passes set on eight occasions. He finished 34 of 50 for 491 yards. Leon Allen ran for 237 yards and two scores. M arshall’s Rakeem Cato set several school records in defeat, including single-game TD passes and career passing yards. Cato, finished 29 of 46 for 417 yards, but also threw four interceptions, all leading to Western Kentucky touchdowns. The Hilltoppers’ Branden Leston had three first-half interceptions. Marshall trailed by as many as 21 points but scored the final 10 of regulation, including Cato’s 5-yard scoring pass to Frohnapfel with 39 seconds left in the fourth that tied it at 59-59.

Fullbacks Shayne Dave rn and D.J. Johnson scored for Air Force (9-3, 5-3), which has now won six straight over the Rams (10-2, 6-2) at Falcon Stadium. Romine stepped in for starter Kale Pearson, who was a late scratch with a tender right ankle. Romine

T he Hokies (6-6, 3-5 A tlantic Coast Conference) won for just the second time in six games, but
qualified for a bowl game for the 22nd year in a row, the second-longest streak in the country. They also ended a six-game losing s treak at Lane Stadium against conference opponents. Virginia (5-7, 3-5), seeki ng their first bowl bid s ince 2011, lost its 10th c onsecutive road game.

Brandon Bridge hit Jeremy Jones with a 10-yard T D pass to pull the Jags ( 6-6) within two points with 39 seconds left, but his two-point conversion p ass to Shavarez Smith was wiped out by an ineligible man downfield call.

Brendon Clements then intercepted Bridge’s desperation heave into the end zone and the Midshipmen (6-5) recovered the ensuing onside kick.
C OLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — After three quarters s mothered by Arkansas, Missouri found a way out. It’s been that way most of t he year, simply finding ways to get the job done. “I just think it got contagious,” coach Gary Pinkel said after finally emerging from a rowdy locker room celebrating the 21-14 victory Friday over Arkansas that sent the No. 17 Tigers to the SEC championship game for the second straight season. “ You win games like t hat, a lot of players are making plays,” Marcus Murphy scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 12-yard run with 4:38 r emaining and Markus Golden recovered a fumble to seal it. “ It don’t get no better t han that, man,” Golden said. “It’s a great feeling.” Missouri (10-2, 7-1, No. 17 CFP) tied it at 14 early in the fourth quarter with a 98-yard drive capped by Jimmie Hunt’s 4-yard TD r eception and a reverse pass by receiver Bud Sasser t o Darius White for the 2-point conversion. “ It worked awesome,” P inkel said. “When these things work, it’s a great call.” Arkansas (6-6, 2-6) was d riving for the tie when Kentrell Brothers stripped A lex Collins and Golden recovered with 2:13 to go at the Missouri 35 to thwart Arkansas’ bid to tie it. The game got a bit contentious even before the opening kickoff. Arkansas players accused Missouri players of refusing to shake hands. “ I think this is a nice start to the rivalry,” Arkans as coach Bret Bielema said. “I don’t know what happened. I just know there was a couple things there at the end of the coin toss.” G olden said Missouri
players shook hands before t he coin toss and didn’t think it necessary to repeat such pleasantries. The Razorbacks had won two straight, both shutouts against ranked teams while outscoring Mississippi and LSU 47-0. “I think we might have worn down in the fourth quarter,” Bielema said. “My guess is we’ll be very, very e nergized and very, very excited bowl team to take somewhere.” Brandon Allen, who was 13 for 30 for 133 yards and t wo touchdowns, played through a hip injury. “In the last couple drives he asked me, ‘Hey, are you still good?’” Allen said about Bielema. “I told him I was fine, I wanted to stay in. It was my decision to stay in.” A sellout crowd of 71,168 stuck around for the fourth quarter surge by the Tigers t hat kept Georgia out of the Southeastern Conference title game on Dec. 7 in Atlanta. The Bulldogs (9-2, 6-2) would have won the East by virtue of a blowout v ictory against Missouri earlier in the season. Fans mobbed the field a fter Maty Mauk’s kneel down ended it while stadium personnel took down the goal posts to prevent fans from toting them off t o a nearby tavern. Ray Charles’ “Georgia on My M ind” played while the stadium slowly emptied. It’s the fifth division title in eight seasons for Missouri (two in the SEC and three in the Big 12), which also reached 10 victories for the fifth time in 14 seasons under Pinkel. “One of the great traits t hey have is that when things get tough, they get t ougher,” Pinkel said. “I can’t tell you how proud I am of these guys.”
UNLV coach will step down LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV finally took a step f orward under Bobby H auck last year, only to backslide and cost him his job. H auck will step down a fter coaching the Rebels’ season finale against N evada today. UNLV is 2-10 this season after going to a bowl game last year for the first time since 2000. A thletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy announced Friday that Hauck had subm itted his resignation, effective Monday. “ No one has worked harder in trying to achieve c onsistent success with our football program than Coach Hauck and we thank him for his dedication and leadership,” Kunzer-Murphy said. “He and his staff have worked tirelessly in trying to achieve the results we all want to see but it unfortunately has not happened.
H auck had two years l eft on his contract and w ill receive a buyout of $400,000. The Rebels are 15-48 in five seasons under Hauck, going 11-27 in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV h ad three straight twowin seasons under Hauck before he led the Rebels to a 7-6 record and the bowl appearance last year. “ We we re g ive n a n opportunity to get it done here at UNLV and we simp ly did not win enough games,” Hauck said. “It’s my responsibility to push the program forward and I wish we would have produced better results.” B efore being hired by UNLV after the 2009 season, Hauck was 80-17 at Montana in the FCS from 2003-09. Hauck’s old job is coming open with Mick Delaney retiring at Montana after the FCS playoffs are over.

CORVALLIS — Harkening back to the “Giant Killers” team of 1967, Oregon State has built a reputation on pulling off big upsets at home. This season, the Beavers toppled No. 7 Arizona State at Reser Stadium, adding to the mystique. The team will get another chance Saturday when its hosts No. 3 Oregon in the Civil War rivalry game. “We understand that Oregon State’s going to come out and play with a lot of fire, with a lot of juice, a lot of intensity and we have to be prepared for that,” Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota said. But first a little history: In 1967 the Beavers beat top-ranked USC 3-0 on Nov. 11 at then-Parker Stadium. Oregon State’s defense withstood the nation’s top rusher, O.J. Simpson, and his 188 yards. Oregon State, which also knocked off No. 2 Purdue that season to earn the Giant K illers
nickname, finished with a 7-2-1 record, but it wasn’t enough to get the Beavers to a bowl game. Southern California claimed the Pac-8 title that year and went on to beat Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Beavers head coach Mike Riley’s dad, Bud Riley, was an assistant coach on that team. Other big upsets would come in more recent years. In 2012, the Beavers upset No. 13 Wisconsin — which would go on to the Rose Bowl that season — 10-7 at Reser Stadium. In 2008, the Beavers were 26-point underdogs when they knocked off then-No. 1 USC 27-21 on a Thursday night in Corvallis. Freshman Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns for Oregon State. Two years earlier, Oregon State toppled the then-No. 3 Trojans at Reser 33-31, snapping a 38-game regular-season winning streak for USC. Oregon State knocked down a two-point conversion with 7 seconds left that would have tied
the game. This season, the Beavers snapped a four-game losing streak by beating then-No. 7 Arizona State 35-27. The Sun Devils, then No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings, appeared to be on their way to the Pac12 championship and even beyond. Oregon (10-1, 7-1) is currently No. 2 in the CFP rankings, which determine the four teams that will appear in the game’s first playoffs. The Ducks have already secured a spot in the Pac-12 championship as the representative from the North Division and will get a chance to avenge their earlier loss to Arizona in the title game. While the Ducks depend on a victory to keep them in the chase for the playoffs, the stakes are also high for the Beavers (5-6, 2-6), who need one more win to become bowl eligible. And there this: The Ducks have won the last six games overall in the series, and the last three at Reser Stadium. “We are going to be

Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion hopes to lead the Beavers to an upset win over Oregon in the Civil War today. amped up for that game because it is at home and it should be fun,” Oregon State receiver Jordan Villamin said. “Hopefully we can get that win and end the streak that we have got going.” Last year at Autzen Stadium the Beavers nearly pulled off an upset. Oregon State took the lead on Victor Bolden’s 25-yard run with 1:39 left. But Mariota orchestrated a drive that was capped with a 12-yard touchdown pass to John Huff with 29 seconds to go for a 36-35 victory. Mike Riley said Oregon State can draw inspiration from the Arizona State victory, but Oregon’s
trajectory, the Beavers’ own possible bowl eligibility and the fact that it’s the state’s big rivalry, gives this game an entirely different dimension. “We certainly understand how good they are and where they sit in the college football world, but our focus is, really, entirely on us. We’ve got to put a good game together,” Riley told reporters on a conference call Sunday. “We’ve got to orchestrate good practices for our team. We’ve got to get prepared to play against the best we’re going to play against this year. So it is definitely about us in our preparation.”
Coaches have many Civil War memories ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press
CORVALLIS — Oregon coach Mark Helfrich and Oregon State coach Mike Riley both grew up in the state where it’s been said that on Civil War game day, everyone is either a Duck or a Beaver. Recent history in the rivalry game that dates to 1894 will be this year on the side of the No. 3 Ducks (10-1, 7-1 Pac 12), who have won six straight in the series against their neighbors to the north. But the Beavers (5-6, 2-6) have a history of pulling off big upsets at home, including a 35-27 victory over then-No. 7 Arizona State at Reser Stadium earlier this season. Helfrich grew up on the Southern Oregon Coast in Coos Bay. While both of his parents and his brother went to Oregon, Helfrich himself went to Southern Oregon University where he was starting
quarterback from 1992-95. He remembers going to then-Parker Stadium in Corvallis as a teenage and getting “just drenched in one of those low scoring games there.” “As we sit today, I was always on the correct side of the rivalry,” he joked. Riley has been tied to Oregon State and Corvallis since his father Bud Riley was an assistant for legendary Beavers’ coach Dee Andros, also known as the Great Pumpkin for his girth and penchant for wearing orange windbreakers. Riley attended his first Civil War as a seventh grader. “I remember Thurman Bell, who’s still coaching here at Roseburg, making a great play to win the game,” said Riley. “My dad was coaching the DBs. It was really fun to be a part of, and I feel thankful to this day to get involved in the game.” The Civil War is tied for
the fifth most-contested rivalry in football, and it’s the oldest west of the Rocky Mountains. Here are a few other things to note about the annual game. EARLY DAYS: Oregon State — then Oregon Agricultural College — won the first one 16-0. In 1916, Oregon defeated OAC 27-0, giving the Ducks a 6-0-1 regular-season record and their first-ever appearance in the Rose Bowl, where they defeated Penn 14-0. PYRAMID PLAY: The 1933 game was notable because O re go n ’s ex t ra - p o i n t attempt was blocked by Clyde Devine, who was lifted in the air by his teammates. The Ducks nonetheless defeated Oregon State 13-3, and the socalled Pyramid Play was later banned by the NCAA. TERRY BAKER: In 1962, the Beavers and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Terry Baker trailed 17-6 at halftime but dominated the second half. Baker’s
13-yard touchdown pass to Danny Espalin in the fourth quarter sealed a 20-17 victory. Baker remains the only Heisman Trophy winner from an Oregon school, although that may change this year with Marcus Mariota. TOILET BOWL: A futile 0-0 tie on a blustery and wet day in November 1983, featured 11 fumbles, five interceptions and four missed field goals. It would go down as the last scoreless Division I college football game. ROSE BOWL BOUND: The Ducks entered the 1994 Civil War tied with USC for the Pac-10 championship and needed a win to clinch their first Rose Bowl berth since 1957. Trailing 13-10, Danny O’Neill drove the team 70 yards, hitting Dino Philyaw for a 19-yard touchdown with 3:47 to play, giving Oregon a 17-13 victory. HARRINGTON TEARS: In 2000, the No. 8 Beavers denied the fifth-ranked
Two more bowlers roll 300 games THE WORLD he frantic pace of 300 T games at North Bend Lanes continued last week, when two more bowlers rolled perfect games during their leagues. Tom Crawford had his first career 300 game in the Bay Area Hospital League. Meanwhile, Larry Zimin had his second perfect game, getting his in the Primers Too Seniors league.
They join three others who had perfect games earlier in the season. Stacey Nelson, Karl Daniel and Bobby Blank also have had 300 games in the league season.
Demo Day
North Bend Lanes has a few spots available for bowlers to take part in Bowling Ball Demo Day on Saturday, Dec. 6. The event gives bowlers a chance to try new balls
with different spins. “If you’re looking for a new ball, it’s a fun way to try the product for no money,” said North Bend Lanes general manager Mark Mattecheck. Actually, there is a $5 fee to participate, but bowlers get a gift certificate if they want to buy a ball. Four manufacturers will have bowling balls to try, with a total of 12 different spins available, Mattecheck said.
Elvis impersonator
Popular Elvis Impersonator Clint Ingbretson will be back for another show at North Bend Lanes on Saturday, Dec. 6. “He’s great,” Mattecheck said. “We had him this summer and the people loved him.” Tickets to see the show are $5. Contact North Bend Lanes at 541-756-0571 or visit the bowling center to reserve a seat.
Ducks a trip to Pasadena with a 23-13 victory. Afterward, quarterback Joey Harrington wept in the arms of his father, John, who played the same position for the Ducks in the late 1960s and never beat Oregon State in three tries. BEAVERS DENIED: In 2008 the Beavers were looking toward their first Rose Bowl in 44 years with a victory in the final game when the Ducks romped to a 65-38 win in Corvallis. The next year the game was dubbed the “War of the Roses” because the winner was guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. Oregon won 37-33. LAST YEAR: The Beavers nearly pulled off an upset at Autzen Stadium. Oregon State took the lead on Victor Bolden’s 25-yard run with 1:39 left. But Mariota orchestrated a drive that was capped with a 12-yard touchdown pass to John Huff with 29 seconds to go for a 36-35 Oregon victory.
rivalry game against Oregon State (5-6, 2-6) on Saturday. With a six-game winning streak in the series, no one currently on the Oregon team has lost to the rival Beavers. None of the Ducks want to be the first. But more than that, Oregon has been thwarted in seasons past by late-season missteps. Last year the Ducks lost at Stanford and Arizona to drop out of the picture for both the league and national championship. The year before it was a loss to the Cardinal at home — which sent Stanford to the Pac-12 title game. “I just feel like we’re so close to getting back on top of the mountain in terms of our conference. That’s my main goal and the Beavers just happen to be the next team in the way stopping us from getting there,” senior linebacker Tony Washington said. “I’m going to do everything in my power and the defense is going to be ready and we’re going to come out and compete.” Oregon is ranked at No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, which puts the Ducks in position for a shot at the national championships — if they can get past the Beavers and win the conference. They’ll face a determined Oregon State team that needs one more win to become bowl eligible. “It’s always something that we will consider to be very important, to continuing to get to play football. It’s fun to do that,” Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. “So like I said, we’ll prepare for it like we always do, as hard as we can. But there’s no doubt about it, the significance in a lot of ways of this game.” Earlier this season Oregon State played spoiler for Arizona State, beating the then-No.7 Sun Devils 35-27 at Reser Stadium and wounding their chances to take the Pac-12 South. A LITTLE HISTORY: The Civil War dates to 1894 and it is tied for the fifth mostplayed rivalry in college football. Oregon leads the series 61-46-10. Last year Oregon State took the lead with 1:39 left on Victor Bolden’s 25-yard touchdown run. But Mariota orchestrated a drive capped with a 12-yard scoring pass to John Huff with 29 seconds to go for a 36-35 Oregon victory.

Olympic champ Shiffrin looks to add new races PAT GRAHAM
The Associated Press
COPPER MOUNTAIN, C olo. — Mikaela Shiffrin has hardly had time to catch her breath since the world last saw the vivacious teen bounding to the slalom title in breathtaking fashion — remember, she nearly fell — at the Sochi Olympics. She’s walked the red carpet at award ceremonies, taken online classes (she wants to be an environmental engineer when she grows up), been a fixture in the weight room (for more m uscle definition) and sharpened her technique so she can accelerate her game plan. M ore speed is next on the agenda for the 19-yearo ld technical specialist. Shiffrin will sprinkle in a few super-G races to her schedule this season. A ll part of the gradu al development of the young talent who’s rapidly becoming the face of skiing — if she’s not there already. “It (notoriety) is starting to pick up a bit,” said Shiffrin, who will race in a World Cup giant slalom a nd slalom this weekend in Aspen. “At every training session, more people k now who I am, maybe want a picture or an autograph. Otherwise, though, it’s been pretty calm and enjoyable.” S hiffrin got off to a roaring start this season,
winning the opening giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, in October. Her first career win in that discipline this soon in the year was a little u nexpected, considering she just started breaking in a new pair of GS skis a few months ago. It has her thinking even g rander thoughts, with possibly taking the starting line for a super-G race in, say, Val d’Isere, France, next month. That’s a big leap for the s kier who’s taken incremental steps in her growth. S he feels ready, though, for super-G races that can r each speed around 70 mph. “My coach and I decided that if my giant slalom is going in right direction — a nd hopefully based off h ow did at Soelden it is — we’d try to race some super-Gs this year,” Shiffrin explained. “I’m feeling much more comfortable on my skis now.” Hasn’t she always? A fter all, she’s been billed as the next big thing o n the slopes for years, and lived up to that lofty reputation at every turn. With her win in Soelden, she became just the eighth female skier to win 10 or more World Cup races as a teenager. Austrian standout Annemarie Moser-Proell holds the record with 27 wins before turning 20. S hiffrin doesn’t turn 20 until March, so she has time to add to her total.
Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States competes during the first run of a World Cup slalom, in Levi , Finland, on Nov. 15. “I never really predicted h ow much success I was going to have. I never even tried to,” Shiffrin said. “I don’t think it’s something you can predict. I tried to work as hard as I could, to get my skiing where I thought it needed to be to race World Cup. Once I got to the level of World Cup, I wanted to win a World Cup. Once I won a World Cup, I wanted to win more. “There’s always a higher level to shoot for.” S hiffrin has a little
c onfession to make: She d oesn’t enjoy watching r eplays of her winning Olympic slalom run from last February. Makes her too nervous, especially the part where about halfway through the second leg she briefly lost h er balance. Her left ski rose too far off the snow a nd her chance at a gold m edal in the event she’s d ominated for two years seemed about to slip away. But she recovered. And later, wore the gold medal
around her neck. W hen she does interviews and it’s shown to her, she tries to stay calm, but all she wants to do is shield h er eyes from watching that near tumble. “Even now, my heart is b eating out of my chest. My toes are in my throat,” she said. “It’s a really nervous feeling. Every time, i t’s like, ‘Why did I do that?’” S hiffrin has that gold m edal locked up and doesn’t want to disclose the
The Associated Press
location because, “they’d maybe go and steal it.” But doesn’t she want to show it off? “Mine is not on display,” said Shiffrin, who’s looking forward to the world championships being held near h er hometown of EagleVail in February so she can sleep in her own bed. “That would be pretentious.” And no one would ever a ccuse her of being pretentious. This summer has flown by for Shiffrin.

How do I find a supplier? Finding suppliers for any manufacturing business is part of developing a strong supply chain strategy. An effective supply chain strategy starts with assessing your customers’ needs, but also includes planning, inventory management, supplier identification, cost analysis, transporta- Down to tion, overall supply and demand, the availability of product and the use of computerized management systems. Supply chain management can be a complex system because multiple businesses Arlene and processes are Soto typically involved. Most manufacturers identify a main supplier to use but may also have two or three backup suppliers. Documentation of the supply chain strategy can be helpful for small businesses to remain competitive. One of the issues faced by many small businesses is the size of order required by suppliers. Minimum order quantities might be too large for the small business manufacturing needs. Possible strategies to overcome this issue include estimating an annual supply need and negotiating for multiple delivery times or partnering with other small businesses that need the same materials and creating a combined order. Pricing is also an issue. Suppliers give price breaks for greater order quantities, which reduces manufacturing costs. Many small business owners find themselves at a disadvantage due to these increased costs. In some areas small manufacturers will create a buying consortium where several businesses achieve lower costs by working together. Check with your industry association to find possible partners. Industry associations can be identified through The Encyclopedia of Associations from Gale Publishing. Many libraries have a copy of this resource. In Oregon a resource for finding suppliers or potential customers is the Northwest Connectory Network (http://www.nwconnectory.com/). “This business-tobusiness search engine makes it possible for potential customers and partners to easily find Northwest companies with the technical capabilities they need.” Another popular Oregon resource for manufacturers is The Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership (OMEP) (http://www.omep.org/). “OMEP is a non-profit organization that aims to help Oregon manufacturers respond to the challenges of competing in an increasingly global economy.” The Thomas Register (http:// www.thomasnet.com/) is another resource for finding potential suppliers. This database includes over 700,000 industrial and commercial suppliers. There are many resources to assist businesses in developing a workable supply chain management strategy, including the Oregon Small Business Development Center Network (SBDC) at www. BizCenter.org. Arlene M. Soto has been the Director of the Southwestern Small Business Development Center since July 2007. To ask a question call 541-756-6445, e-mail asoto@socc.edu, or write 2455 Maple Leaf, North Bend, OR 97459. Additional help is available at the OSBDCN Web page www.bizcenter.org.

COOS BAY — Think it’s hard to find a job? Some employers say it’s just as hard to find an employee. Agencies that help match employees with jobs say many people lack basic skills for finding and keeping a job. Others may be qualified but lack a driver’s license, auto insurance or childcare. Some don’t pass a drug test. And some blame can be laid on employers who rule out categories of applicants sight unseen or have unrealistic expectations of what they’re going to get for $10 an hour. Still, some employers are baffled by their inability to find applicants for what most people would call a decent job. One of them is Lisa Gogal at Pacific Air Comfort, an HVAC company with offices in Roseburg, Coquille and Springfield. “For several years now, we have been looking for installers and helpers out there, and it’s just been impossible,” she said in October. “We pay very good wages, and we just are looking for someone who can pass a background check, pass a drug test and be an insurable driver. “And that is virtually impossible to find out there.”
Entry to a career
Barriers to employment Raye Gieseke, a business consultant at staffing agency Cardinal Services in Coos Bay, polled staff at other Cardinal offices to find out what was keeping people from getting hired. Her results:
Applicant problems
Basic employment-seeking skills: “Appearance, interviewing skills, references and resume are key roadblocks for the chronically unemployed, seniors and many people just graduating.” Criminal history Inability to fill out an application Not returning phone calls, not having a reliable phone number with an appropriate voicemail greeting Lack of a driver’s license Lack of identification for I-9 requirements Homelessness Lack of a high school diploma or GED Failure to pass a drug screen Lack of computer skills to complete online applications “Applicants with little experience having an unrealistic expectation for rate of pay.”
A path to employment for teens Susie Yeiter of South Coast Business Employment Corporation said the pool of entry-level jobs that teenagers used to do is shrinking. “The jobs that were available to them are being taken by displaced workers or older workers,” Yeiter said. “So we have a generation of people lacking the skills they need to go to work.” In years past, SCBEC ran summer employ-
ment programs for 400 teens every summer. At Pacific Air Comfort, an installer Participants got experience on real job sites and helper with no experience starts at $10 an earned money.

They just think they’re going to come out of nowhere and just earn a lot of money, but they’re not. You have to earn your keep, and confidence. “It’s amazing how many people say, you have to prove yourself, and that’s part ‘Yeah, I’ll pass the drug test, no problem,’” of the problem.” Then there’s another kind of misplaced Gogal laments.
Chamber forum gives economic outlook NORTH BEND — South Coast residents can hear from economists about local, state and national economic conditions as well as from local leaders about projects of importance to the local economy at the 22nd Annual Economic Outlook Forum scheduled for Friday, Dec. 12, at The Mill Casino-Hotel. The 6:45-11:00 a.m. breakfast conference is presented by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and Knife River Materials in cooperation with 28 sponsoring businesses and organizations. Martin Callery, Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, will give an introductory presentation for the day. The Forum features John Mitchell, former US Bank chief economist, who will provide a keynote address on the state, regional and national economic outlook. Guy Tauer, a labor economist with the Oregon Employment Department, will present an overview
of the Coos County and Coos Bay area economy. Updates on projects that affect the community will include the Coos Bay Rail Link, presented by Scott Parkinson, president of ARG Transportation; Southwestern Oregon Community College, presented by SWOCC President Dr. Patty Scott; and “Are you ready for the Jordan Cove Energy Project Construction?” presented by chamber president Pam Plummer, Mark Wall of BOOST, and Charles Deister of Jordan Cove Energy. Two South Coast businesses, Shark Bites and Scott Partney Construction, will be highlighted. The New Business Challenge winner for 2014 will be announced. Forum tickets, which include breakfast, are $30, and space is limited. To reserve a space, call the Chamber at 541-266-0868, or stop by the Chamber office at 145 Central Ave., Coos Bay.
Employer problems
Bias against older applicants Bias against unemployed applicants Ruling out applicants for being homeless, struggling with veterans’ issues or having criminal convictions unrelated to the type of work applied for Offering pay that is too low to attract qualified applicants Not being willing to train people who have been out of work
Can’t get enough These positions are hard to fill in coastal and rural areas: Skilled laborers Specialized industries Line cooks Teachers Journeyman electricians
Journeyman millwrights ASE-certified auto mechanics Social services Experienced concrete workers
“Then they go, and they don’t.” Pacific Air Comfort advertises jobs on its website and also lists them on the Oregon Employment Division’s website and on Craigslist. Gogal goes to job fairs, especially those geared toward veterans, and keeps in touch with trade schools. “This can be a physically demanding job,” she admitted. “You’re in crawl spaces and in attics in the summer, and a lot of people today, their idea of a job is you come out of school and you start playing on the computer. You don’t get dirty, and you don’t work hard, and you think you’re going to make six figures. And that’s just not reality.” In the HVAC industry, the median age is 48, Gogal said. “I think there just need to be more tech schools and have people get back into these professions.” But lack of technical skills isn’t the whole problem. Many aspiring workers lack other skills essential for getting and keeping a job. They can’t fill out an application, answer interview questions, hang onto a driver’s license, organize childcare or make their alarm clock go off in the morning.
Local agency can help South Coast Business Employment Corporation is eager to meet those people. Not only does it have resources to solve all those problems, it also has programs to reimburse employers who hire workers in training. Susie Yeiter, SCBEC’s workforce department manager, said although her agency’s services are available to everyone, they work primarily with two groups: youth See Employment, C3

From Japan, the joy of minimalism at home KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press
I f you haven’t communed with your socks lately, thanked your shoes for their hard work or bowed (at least mentally) to your home in appreciation, maybe it’s time to consider it. “It is very natural for me to say thank you to the goods that support us,” says Marie Kondo, whose method of lovingly connecting with belongings that “spark joy” and bidding a fond but firm farewell to the rest is popular in Japan and now catching on elsewhere. Kondo’s book, “The Life-Changing Magic of T idying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing,” is a best-seller in Japan, Germany and Britain and has recently been published in the United States. Kondo has been the subject of a movie in Japan, and the waiting list for her services, once three months long, is now so extensive that she has temporarily stopped accepting more clients. Her “KonMarie Method,” as she calls it in the diminutive and illustrationfree volume, encourages a rapid, dramatic and transformative one-time organizing event — completed methodically and lovingly in no more than six months. It’s not an ongoing battle against clutter.
The aftermath of a client’s room that was decluttered by Marie Kondo.
The Associated Press photos
A client’s room before it was decluttered by Marie Kondo in Japan. Kondo is the author of the book “The Life—Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” published by Ten Speed Press. Kondo sees “tidying” as a cheerful conversation in which anything that doesn’t “spark joy” is to be touched, thanked and ceremonially sent on its way toward a better life elsewhere, where it can discover a more appreciative owner. The result can be lifechanging, she says. Clients suddenly find themselves surrounded entirely by things that provide clarity, unencumbered by belongings that carry past baggage (unwanted gifts, clothes that no longer fit) or anxieties about the future (does anyone need more cotton swabs than there are days of the
year?). Even her book, she says, should be quickly discarded when it’s no longer needed. Part of what makes her method unusually speedy is that instead of decluttering room by room, she tackles a household by subject, starting with what’s easiest to part with. So, all the clothes, then all the books, then documents, then miscellany and, last and most d i f f i c u l t , p h o to s a n d mementos. Instead of deciding what to discard, she says, the focus should be on what to keep: which few things spark sufficient joy or are truly necessary.
T
hanksgiving is an ideal time of year to remember those who have supported us. Your business and referrals have helped us to support our families. We want to sincerely thank everyone who has given us the opportunity to be of service. May God Bless You and Your Family this Thanksgiving Season.

How to contend with family members unready to join in the celebratory purge? If possible, carry the bags out of the house yourself. “There’s no need to let your family know the details of what you throw out or donate,” she writes, a l t h o u g h s h e a dv i s e s against secretly disposing of other people’s things. “You can leave communal spaces to the end. The first step is to confront your own stuff.” After joyfully relegating mountains of unneeded or unloved belongings to the trash or charity, she then turns to organizing what’s left.

they generally hold so little joy — are likewise filed and not stacked. Kondo says she has been obsessed with “tidying” since she was 5, opting to arrange shoes and pencils in school when other kids played in the playground. She began communing with her belongings in high school and, after years of work at a Shinto shrine, realized her calling as a professional consultant on attaining the joy of minimalism. “The inside of a house or apartment after decluttering has much in common with a Shinto shrine ... a place where there are no unnecessary things, and our thoughts become clear. It is the place where we appreciate all the things that support us,” she says. “It is where we review and rethink about ourselves.”
Art of flower arranging meets holiday decor
KATHERINE ROTH
Thanks to all the buyers and sellers I worked with this past year and years past. I appreciate the trust and confidence you placed in me. Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! Nancy Clarke
The key, she says, is storing things mostly in drawers, arranged so that everything can be seen at a glance and nothing is stacked, a practice decidedly unkind to items at the bottom. So T-shirts and socks (the ones you’ve kept because they make you happy) are rolled — no painfully balled-up socks with moaning elastic here — and beautifully arranged like sushi in a bento box. Closets are meticul o u s ly a r ra n ge d to f i t everything from electric fans (at the bottom) and spare blankets (on top) to carefully arranged clear drawers of beloved belongings and a shelf or two with a few joy-sparking books. Papers and documents — there won’t be many since few are truly necessary and
Holiday decorations in the U.S. are often symmetrical: Two candles on either side of the mantel, a round wreath in the center of the door, a centerpiece with matching sprigs of holly and pine on each side. The ancient Japanese art of ikebana, or flower arranging, can provide festive sparkle and color, too, with a much more modern feel. “The biggest difference between Western arrangements and ikebana is asymmetry,” said Kimi Quinn, a Sogetsu-certified practitioner who has been designing
“Residential, Commercial or Business..... I produce results for my clients!”
ikebana arrangements in the U.S. and Japan for over 20 years. “Ikebana is about capturing the universe and nature. Nothing in the natural world is symmetrical.” In ikebana, the empty space between branches is as important as the branches themselves. “It’s like that Zen question asking about the sound of one hand clapping. The answer is silence. Space,” Quinn said. To b e g i n , a l l t h a t’s needed is a heavy pin board (kenzan) or a block of flower-arranging sponge, available at craft and floral-supply stores, and a low salad bowl or platter. The container should be filled with just enough water to barely cover the pin board or sponge. You might start with a decorative branch for a long defining line, a medium flower or branch and a shorter flower, and a large leaf or some other small
flower to help cover the pin board. In general, “the longest stem should be twice as long as the container is wide,” Quinn said. “The medium stem should be around three-quarters the length of the longer branch, and the shorter stem should be around half the length of the medium stem.” Before arranging the stems and branches, trim excess foliage, and trim the stems while they are submerged in water. They should be clipped at an angle for tree branches and straight across for flower stems, Quinn said. “You don’t just stick them straight down into the pin board,” she said. “You angle them in different directions, some backward and others forward, to give some depth and perspective. Pay attention to the curve of the lines, and the spaces between the lines.”

Employment Training help is available Continued from C1
under 24 and dislocated workers — not only people who have been laid off from employers that have closed but also people without skills to advance in their own field. SCBEC will help anybody, but those who have officially been designated dislocated workers are eligible for funded training. Counselors help these workers research the job market and pick out training for a field where jobs are plentiful. For example, when Xerox closed its call center in 2013 and laid off 300 people, 72 of them worked with SCBEC to develop training plans. The size of the layoff triggered an emergency grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, which made more resources available. Yeiter said most of them are still going through their training. Most of them are pursuing training in business or medical fields, she said. But even if you’re not a dislocated worker, you might qualify for other assistance from SCBEC. SCBEC has paid for childcare, auto liability insurance, work boots, food handler’s cards, flagging certificates and driver training. “We’ve even bought bicycles to get people back and forth to work,” Yeiter said. Jobseekers with criminal convictions can attend a workshop that shows how to disclose those in the application process so that they are not a barrier to employment. Currently, SCBEC is working with 18 people they’ve placed in cooperative situations with employers. “We just entered into a contract with a local cranberry grower for an officemanager-type position,” Yeiter said. “The person who was placed there had no experience at all in the cranberry-growing business as well as office management. We entered into a contract with that employer to reimburse them up to 50 percent of
their wages. “Also, one of the skills this person will need is to use QuickBooks, so we will probably be paying for QuickBooks classes for that person.” SCBEC is always looking for employers who want to participate in this program. “Especially for the smaller employer, it helps them develop a workforce, and they can train the employees the way they want the job done,” Yeiter said. T h e go a l i s to ge t employees into a field where they can get training and advance. “We look at employers that have the opportunity to provide higher wages,” she said. “We screen the employers to make sure it’s a good match.” Jobseekers can visit SCBEC for an interview with a counselor. The agency offers one-on-one assistance, workshops,
and testing. Computers are available for those who need them to search or apply online. In the end, though, it’s up to jobseekers to follow through on opportunities. “While these services are available and we think we do a decent job in providing these services, it still requires the interest and the motivation of the particular job applicant to do the workshops and get the training to get re-employed,” said J.J. McLeod, director of SCBEC. “ U l t i m a t e l y, e v e r y individual is going to be responsible for getting his or her job. We can help, we can try to do the match, we can try to do the trainings, but ultimately it’s going to be up to each and every individual.” To learn more about SC B E C ’s s e r v i c e s fo r employers and jobseekers, call 541-269-2013.

It was a perfect storm
W hen I told a buddy back in May that I was going to replace a bathroom floor during my endof-summer vacation week, she asked why I was waiting so long. (She’d House seen the floor; she k n ew t h e reasons for the repairs.) I explained that although i t ’s o n e thing to crawl Steve around on batie the floor of a little room with no air circulation during late September, it’s quite another at the height of sultry summer. Apparently, I was not the neighborhood’s only homeowner who had been holding out for cooler weather. M y va c a t i o n we e k turned into a perfect storm of do-it-yourselfing in Rancho del Fifties. Next door, the newlyweds continued to whittle away at years of deferred maintenance in hopes of bringing their place up to salable condition. Most of that involved scraping and painting window frames and doors, but one afternoon a fellow with saws and ladders spent several hours clambering in the oak trees and raining dead branches on the lawn below. He was even sent up into my own nearby maple for some minor surgery. (The newlyweds explained a dead branch in that tree was dangling over their driveway. I suggested

my tree might make their house look even better to potential buyers if they had its other dead branches removed. They demurred.) They finished out the week with a couple of evenings of wienie and marshmallow roasting over a roaring “campfire” fueled by oak twigs. Across the street, the project was living room floor refinishing. Those neighbors were pleasantly surprised to discover the oak they had carpeted over 20-some years ago was not in nearly as bad a shape as they had remembered. If it hadn’t been for the square of vinyl glued in front of the door, the project would have gone off without a hitch. As it was, it took them only a couple of afternoons with a heat gun and paint scrapers to get the floor adequately prepped for sanding. But that took another entire day. For those who haven’t tackled floor refinishing, the work itself is nothing compared with the inconvenience and irritation of having every other room in your house piled high with furniture and knickknacks for the four days it lasts. (One for sanding and three for finishing.) They survived. Finally, the vacant-forthe-past-year house to the east suddenly was reoccupied as a crew of family and friends frantically struggled to put it in shape to go on the market, too. Brush was raked, paint was scraped and touched up, dead plants were pulled, mulch was freshened and random odds and ends were carted

(AP) — Religious leaders in Ferguson, Missouri, say they’re appalled at the violence that erupted after a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown. Some local clergy joined Ferguson Mayor James Knowles at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. Baptist Pastor Timothy Woods said they condemn the arson and looting that badly damaged more than a dozen businesses.
Students want holiday protection COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A student group has asked the University of Missouri to strengthen a classroom policy to ensure that professors accommodate students who have to miss class for a religious holiday. The Missouri Student Association, after meeting with Thalia Sass, president of the Jewish Student Organization at MU, presented the faculty council with a proposed change that would
Colorado Supreme Court is upholding the governor’s right to issue Day of Prayer proclamations. Monday’s ruling reverses a 2012 appeals court decision that found that the proclamations unconstitutionally favored the religious over the non-religious. The Colorado Supreme Court found that opponents of the proclamations don’t have the right to sue Court upholds Day of because they weren’t forced Prayer proclamations to participate in the day of prayer and didn’t suffer DENVER (AP) — The any negative consequences obligate faculty to make religious allowances. The current rules only encourage professors to excuse students from classes, tests or activities because of religious obligations. Student leaders say the change is needed because some students have problems with their professors without a mandate in place.
from the government. The court also said the plaintiffs didn’t suffer significant “psychic harm” from media coverage of the prayer proclamations.
Turkey giveaway goes on WASHINGTON (AP) — Marion Barry’s annual turkey giveaway went on without the longtime District of Columbia politician. Hundreds of people gathered Tuesday outside Union Temple Baptist Church in Southeast
Washington. For years, the former mayor and city councilman raised money to buy turkeys and give them to the poor. Many residents mourned Barry’s death as they waited in line for one of the 3,500 turkeys that were given away. LaToya Foster, Barry’s spokeswoman, said that’s what Barry lived for — giving back to the poorest people and serving those who didn’t have a voice. Barry died early Sunday at the age of 78.

What kids need to know about giving I f you are committed to teaching your kids how the world operates, and you should be, teach them about money. You can use financial principles to teach everything from math problems to social issues. That’s because Everyday m o n e y i s Cheapskate about valu e s, re l a tionships, choices and self-worth. And while teaching yo u r k i d s important va l u e s to Mary guide their Hunt lives is of the utmost importance, when all is said and done those values are more likely to be caught than taught. You have to live what you teach. If there is one thing that will ruin your kids’ lives, it’s greed. Teach them while they’re young how to pull the drain plug on greed, and you will have prepared them in a very important way to not only survive, The Family Circus but to also thrive in the real world. Lesson for Kids: When you give, you defeat your enemy greed You know that twinge of envy you felt when your best friend showed you her cool new phone? Or when another friend said really loud at lunch how her dad is buying her a brand new car for her 16th birthday? Multiply that feeling by 10 and you’ll have a good idea what full-blown greed feels like. It’s not good. The problem with greed is that it drives us to do things that are hazardous to our futures. Greed says it’s OK to have everything we want now and to figure out how to pay for it later. Greed is something everyone has to deal with at one time or the other, and the sooner you can learn how to defeat that enemy, the better off and happier you will be. The antidote for greed is giving away part of the three T’s — your time, your talent and your treasure. Everyone, no matter how young or poor, possesses all three. Time. You get 24 hours every day, 10,080 minutes or 604,800 seconds every week. Talent. This is what you can do. Everyone has special talents, things they are good at doing. Treasure. This is what you have, your possessions. It’s your money, and also your toys, clothes, collections — everything that you own. Are you bewildered? If you have never been a “giver” it may seem quite odd for me to suggest you should just give away any of your time or your stuff. But that is exactly what I mean. If you want to make sure you are never defeated by greed, learn to be a giver. When you give to others it helps you to be grateful for what you have. Giving is the way to stop feeling Moderately Confused sorry for yourself. Instead of misery, you feel joy. In place of dissatisfaction you find contentment. Become a giver. It will greatly improve your life. Mary invites questions at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2014 If you face sensitive issues head-on, you won’t be bogged down with tedious arguments and tension this year. The longer you postpone the inevitable, the harder it will be to change what’s troubling you. Recognize what needs to be done and make your move. Take control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Financial losses will plague you if your records aren’t up-todate. Revisit financial contracts and agreements in order to ensure that you haven’t overlooked an important detail. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Someone will reach out to you for help. Your other responsibilities will suffer if you don’t make arrangements to ensure that nothing is neglected.Your diligence will be impressive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Consistency is key. Indecision will confuse and annoy those around you. Decide what is best for you and act accordingly. Timing is crucial. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Mistakes are likely if you don’t keep your emotions in check. Take time to rationally think matters through before you make a rash move that could be costly. Don’t make a financial commitment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be truthful. You can avoid a misunderstanding if you stick to the facts. The more you try to embellish the truth, the worse off you will be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t be too free with your cash.You can make a greater impression with your personality than your wallet. If you have to buy someone’s love, it’s not worth it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t offer more than you are prepared to give. Be candid regarding your personal and professional dealings. Boastfulness or exaggeration will come back to haunt you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you are open and accepting, you will reap the benefits of an unexpected opportunity. Good fortune is headed your way. Enjoy the moment and the popularity that will come
MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2014 He who hesitates is lost. Jump in and try something you’ve been wanting to do for some time. Let your adventuresome side take over and your past experience guide you through a year full of surprises and unexpected revelations. Show your strengths and work on your weaknesses. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Use your versatility and quick wit to add a little spice to your life. You will be the center of attention if you network and market your skills. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Listen to the voice of reason and experience. You can avoid grief and aggravation by following the advice of someone who has been in your shoes. Be open to suggestions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Broaden your scope when considering your professional goals. You can provide a service that is in demand if you look for the right buyer, client or outlet.

Go! with it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t take risks with your hard-earned cash. Impulse purchases and overindulgence will deplete your bank account and increase your stress level. Think before you spend or act out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move. The choice you make will influence your emotional and personal well-being, so step up and be the one who makes a decision. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Once issues are out in the open, you will be able to resolve any problems that have been bedeviling you. Refusing to discuss what’s going on will not lead to happiness. Stop waffling. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You will impress someone special if you do something out of the ordinary. Show your fun side and use your imagination; you won’t be disappointed at the results you get.

Be accepting and meet change with optimism. The best opportunities come when you least expect. Don’t be too quick to judge or oppose something unfamiliar. Embrace life and live in the moment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Discipline and focus will help you finish projects that need completing before the end of the year. Beginning the year with a clean slate will ease your stress. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — No matter what you are looking for, it’s best if you are open and direct. Convey your wishes to people who have the power, knowledge or influence to help you out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — There may be some minor upheavals at work concerning someone else’s position. The changes will work in your favor if you take on any extra responsibilities without making a fuss. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t get drawn into a squabble with a friend or relative. If you allow your temper to flare up, you will say something you’ll regret. Keep the peace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You are feeling nostalgic for people or places from your past. Call up an old friend. You probably still have lots in common and certainly plenty of history to share. Plan a reunion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you are feeling restless or bored, redo your living space for the upcoming holidays. Redecorating or refurbishing even a small area will give you a sense of accomplishment and pride. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be neutral and respectful when dealing with people from different beliefs, cultures and traditions. You may not agree, but you mustn’t judge or you will be judged. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Too much work and ongoing family issues have made you forget how to have fun. Whether you prefer to gather with friends or just do a solitary activity, take time out for you.
