City asks Coast Guard to remove barbed wire BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — As part of the Coos Bay Urban Renewal Agency’s efforts to improve curb appeal, the city has begun talking with the U.S. Coast Guard regarding its barbedwire fencing along U.S Highway 101. City Manager Rodger Craddock said the city is not forcing anyone to remove anything and that the

discussions are only preliminary at this point. “It was mentioned in an editorial that we should look more into curb appeal and that’s what we’re doing,” Craddock said. Urban Renewal Chair Mark Daily and councilor Tom Leahy first approached the Coast Guard about the barbed wire fencing. “The interesting comment we got was the reason they have the barbed wire is to keep the fence 8

feet high,” Leahy said. While local Coast Guard officials were sympathetic to the city’s inquiry, they lack the authority to enforce any changes. “Any change of military facility decisions cannot be made locally and has to go up with chain of command,” Craddock said. “They’re willing to discuss the matter and are waiting on proposed suggestions that meet Coast Guard regulations.”

Planners approve Pacific Gales

During the Oct. 7 urban renewal meeting, it was suggested that U.S. Highway 101 be added to an already existing city ordinance that prevents barbed wire from being placed in the downtown area. Municipal code 8.10.070 prevents barbed-wire fences along sidewalks, public ways, in residentially zoned districts, the historic district and the downtown/Empire core areas. Amending the ordinance, how-

ever, would not have affected the Coast Guard because it was already in compliance with past regulations. “If the city were to impose an ordinance, those that were already there would be grandfathered in,” Craddock said. In the event the city cannot make a change, there are options for concealment, including installing low landscaping, Daily said.

The heavy lifting takes place before crab season begins

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

GOLD BEACH — The proposed Pacific Gales Golf Course near Port Orford has again earned the approval of the Curry County Planning Commission. The commission approved a second conditional use application for the project last week. The first conditional use application was withdrawn by developers after it was appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals by a pair of environmental groups. The developers for the project, Elk River Property Development LLC, anticipate the project again will be appealed by Oregon Coast Alliance and Oregon Shores. Both groups submitted comments against the new conditional use application. But the developers also think the new proposal covers all possible areas of appeal by ORCA and Oregon Shores. “I’m excited,” said Jim Haley, one of the group’s leaders. “We’ve got an application we think is going to win this time, but we’ve got to go through the process.” If the groups do appeal the Planning Commission’s decision, the matter will be heard by the County Board of Curry Commissioners. If it also approves the project, the next appeal would go to LUBA again. The appeal deadline is Nov. 12. No appeals had been filed as of Thursday, though ORCA did

PORTLAND — As the start of the second open enrollment period for health insurance under the federal Affordable Care Act nears, Oregon officials say this time the state will avoid an enrollment disaster. When Oregon launched its insurance exchange portal last October, it turned into a technology fiasco. Cover Oregon was the only exchange in the nation that never fully launched and didn’t let the public enroll in coverage in one sitting. Instead, residents had to use a timepaper-online hybrid consuming application process to get health insurance. Six top officials connected to the Cover Oregon debacle resigned. The state abandoned its troubled exchange in April after determining it was cheaper to switch to the federal site than to fix Cover Oregon. Officials say they’ve taken steps to ensure a smooth new enrollment period, which starts Nov. 15. This summer, Oregon hired a tech firm, Deloitte Consulting LLC, to help transition Oregon to the federal exchange

Things to know as state’s health overhaul restarts BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WHAT IS OPEN ENROLLMENT: Open enrollment is the period when those previously uninsured can sign up for insurance, and those who already have coverage can change plans or insurance companies. Open enrollment runs from Nov. 15, 2014 to Feb. 15, 2015. Individuals who experience a special life event, such as marriage or the birth of a child, can buy coverage or change plans outside of open enrollment. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE INSURANCE THROUGH COVER OREGON: All Oregon residents who previously enrolled in a private plan via Cover Oregon must re-enroll via HealthCare.gov. Those who do not want a break in coverage come January must re-enroll by Dec. 15 for coverage starting Jan. 1. Unlike people in other states that rely on the federal portal, Oregon residents with existing Cover Oregon plans will not be automatically reenrolled in their old plan if they do nothing. People already enrolled in Medicaid need not do anything, until the state sends them a renewal letter. IF YOU WANT PRIVATE INSURANCE: Residents buying private insurance for the first time who think they qualify for a tax credit must use SEE RESTART | A8

PORTLAND — Oregon’s statewide election campaigns have hauled in more than $43 million. That doesn’t include the U.S. Senate race or downballot contests for the state Legislature and local offices. The impact of all that money is everywhere — you can’t watch television, check your mail or even view a YouTube video without confronting political ads. But where’s the money coming from? The money in the governor’s race is largely coming from within Oregon, but the ballot measures are being showered with cash from out of state. Here’s a look at the top donors to Oregon’s campaigns for governor and the highest profile ballot measures, based on campaign finance records filed through Thursday:

John Kitzhaber (Total raised: $4.4 million) ■ Phil Knight, $250,000

The chairman of Nike Inc. is a big spender on Oregon elections. He opened his wallet for the Democratic after backing governor Kitzhaber’s rival in 2010, Chris Dudley, to the tune of $400,000. Nike itself separately gave Kitzhaber $90,000 this year. ■ Too Extreme For Oregon PAC, $199,000 A political action committee newly created to go after Kitzhaber’s Republican rival, Dennis Richardson, Too Extreme For Oregon counts labor unions, abortionrights groups and the Democratic Party of Oregon among its donors. The group paid for an advertising campaign criticizing Richardson.

Dennis Richardson (Total raised: $2.8 million) ■ Jones sisters, Seneca Jones Timber Company and Seneca Sustainable Energy, $591,000 Jody Jones, Rebecca Jones and Kathy Jones-McCann,

along with the Seneca timber companies they own, gave Richardson a much-needed boost when he desperately needed cash.

Letters to the Editor Note to our letter writers Last Friday morning we discovered a glitch on our website’s letter submission page that blocked a number of letters from reaching us. We fixed the glitch and recovered the letters. All submissions addressing election issues are printed here and on page A7 today. We apologize for the delay in publishing your submissions.

Charter is for the people It seems Commissioner Melissa Cribbins has short memory loss, not the voter.What Ms.Cribbins conveniently forgot to mention is that the BOC also placed a measure on the same ballot as Measure 6-144. This measure was written by politicians for politicians, to create an unelected position of “county administrator” to serve as a scapegoat for the BOC. This measure, 6-144, also failed. Measure 6-149 was written by citizens and expressly for the citizens of Coos County. It is unlike any other charter in the state. It expresses how they wished to be governed and what is expected of those elected to govern. It also provides “term limits.” It provides for penalties when elected officials fail to follow the rules. Politicians hate being the governed and having to follow rules of law like regular citizens. The BOC is receiving guidance from the Hatfield School of Governance, aka Portland Law School, on how to “govern” the citizens of Coos County. We, the taxpayers, are paying for this advice. This NGO (nongovernmental organization) continues to recommend a county administrator and “just call it another name like “‘county manager.’” Currently the BOC holds “work sessions” where decisions are made and votes taken. Citizens are allowed to observe these work sessions. The problem is in the meeting notice does not provide enough detail of the agenda item to do advance research. A summary/report of these work sessions are never provided at the BOC meeting or in the minutes. A rubber stamp vote is taken at the official BOC meeting. Currently, no commissioner must state their position on any matter before the commission. The citizens of Coos County are left to wonder just who represents their view. The reason for five commissioners was decided upon by a committee of citizens was to put a stop to the normal 2-to-1 vote of the commissioners. If there is an item that affects the entire county and four commissioners cannot agree, then they need to re-address the issue to the benefit of all citizens of the county and not just the “special interest.” The county should already have a maintenance department to create and administrate a maintenance plan. Recently there was an article in the newspaper that the county was working with other counties to bulk purchase supplies, no new person needed. Theo Stanley Bandon

Commissioner misstated charter Coos County Home Rule Charter, 2014. Page 27, Paragraph 13.4, Public Vote Required Before Contracting. Page 28, 2nd paragraph: “Contracts to allow the harvesting of timber or other products growing upon county land are specifically exempt from this provision.” What provision? The paragraph 13.4, above, contract involving consideration of $165,000, or more, must have a vote of the Coos County voters. Timber, other products growing upon county land, are

specifically exempt. Melissa T. Cribbins, in her more than 300-word Op-Ed, in The World Newspaper, Oct. 27, was wrong. She wrote: “Timber sale contracts bring money into the county budget. These sale contracts will be lost if they have to wait months for voter approval.” They are exempt, period. She wrote: “The proposed charter does not give any reason why two additional commissioners are needed.” I can help: it is called the two-toby one decision vote commissioners. Or, just two-tozero vote. Only two required to spend our tax dollars as they choose. Shenanigans. The Charter and, likely, five commissioners would not allow scheduling meetings, with shortest legal notice allowed by law, on days and times best suited to the commissioners agendas. Meeting notice announcements listed as a “worksession,” where commissioners make a major economic decision concerning future tax dollars for the county,all are legal currently. Meetings scheduled with only two voting commissioners are available and present. Meeting scheduled so fast,citizen involvement is limited to nil. Denny Powell Coos Bay

Commissioner doesn’t get charter Does Coos County Commissioner Melissa Cribbins misunderstand ballot Measure 6149? It seems Commissioner Cribbins, in her Oct. 27 Your Views in The World, has misunderstood many issues regarding the November ballot Measure 6-149 “Voice of the Voters” Charter. Ms. Cribbins vehemently has rejected any input or checks and balances by the citizens over her decisions for controlling Coos County. But still, she is also a lawyer and,therefore,should be able to read a document written in this straight forward a manner. Looking at one major item Ms. Cribbins states “… timber sales contracts are nearly always more than the arbitrary limits set by the Charter. Timber sales contracts bring money into the county budget. These sales contracts will be lost if they have to wait months for voter approval, or they will come in at pennies on the dollar, as buyers are forced to subtract the cost of the uncertainty of the contract from their bids.” Now what does the Charter actually say regarding timber sales? Section 14.2 (f) reads as follows: “Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Charter, a public vote is not required to allow the harvesting or disposition of crops, timber, or other products growing upon county land.” Additionally, the Charter does not control items in the budget but does require it be zero based, i.e., be based on actual expected expenses needed plus contingency funds, and not just given a percentage increase from the previous year. The other issues noted in the oped were convoluted in a similar manner. Is misleading the voters by misrepresenting a ballot measure a violation of law?

Sweet’s earned another term This will be short and Sweet. I have been a resident of Coos County for 20 years. In that time I have seen an assortment of elected officials come and go. Some have done their very best to improve the community; some have been benign; and some have gone out of their way to impose their own agenda no matter the consequences. John Sweet is clearly one of the former. He has always demonstrated his commitment to the citizens of the coast and worked to be a creative problem solver. He has the experience and intellect to lead the county and the community into a better and more prosperous future. I urge you to vote to re-elect John Sweet as county commissioner. Patricia Barton Hauser

Another county vote for Gurney It was April Fools Day in 1952, just two weeks after his 17th birthday when Don Gurney enlisted to serve his country in the U.S. Navy. It was 21 years of service starting in the Korean conflict streaming through to the Vietnam War with very few breaks between. He successfully attained the honorable rank of Chief Warrant Officer, and after his service Don attended metal works and fire fighting schools where he earned the title of Fire Marshal. Today, Jackson and Curry are among several rural counties in Oregon that are facing bankruptcy and, except for the foresight of Don Gurney, Coos County would be in the same situation. Don convinced a former board of commissioners to set aside $12.5 million in timber funds until the county generated more revenue sources. Unfortunately, that fund will expire unless the current board applies creative and aggressive tactics to manage the resources that are supposed to be available to support our economy. Don will use the referral system to put public measures on the ballot to show the feds that the people of Coos County will not be intimidated. He intends on collaborating with legal foundations to use the court system to break the bureaucracy the federal government is using to deny the people of Coos County the right to utilize county property. Don is a defender of the free market, so that is why he strongly opposes the corporate welfare and union baiting incorporated in the Community Enhancement Plan, which simply privatizes property taxes. The plan would take $1.8 million from the county for 15 years. He believes all businesses should play by the same rules, so he opposes allowing the owners of the LNG to receive the property tax exemption offered by the Enterprise Zone. This taxing scheme will benefit a foreign corporation, while forcing homegrown companies to pay more than their fair share because of the money lost to crony capitalism. Don also opposes the use of eminent domain for the private sector because it erodes the right to own property. The voters of Coos County have a choice of voting for the incumbent, who is a bought and paid for mem-

ber of “The Good Ole Boy Club,” choosing someone who has a proven record of loyalty and success. Don Gurney is the right choice for Coos County commissioner. Rob Taylor Bandon

Another vote for Sweet I am supporting John Sweet for Coos County commissioner. John Sweet has done a great job thus far working on promoting our community, economic development and jobs for the people of Coos County. John’s opponent does not appear to be as interested in seeing our area grow and prosper. John Sweet has wide, bi-partisan support and has been endorsed by former state senators Ken Messerle and Joanne Verger, as well as current state Sen. Arnie Roblan and state Rep. Caddy McKeown. We all know that this election is one of the most important in recent history, so please get out and vote and vote for John Sweet, and tell your friends, neighbors and family to do the same. Barbara Bauder North Bend

And another vote for Sweet Join me in voting for John Sweet for county commissioner. Finally, we have someone who is supportive of new business and jobs and is doing something about the financial hole our county is in. John is actively supportive of new business opportunities, ranging from Jordan Cove’s LNG facility to an expansion of Bandon Dunes. He is involved in developing the Community Enhancement Plan, which will bring millions of dollars into the county coffers now, when we need them, not some eight years down the road, well after the county reserves upon which we now rely are gone.

Bandon needs tax authority Last week’s windstorm reminded me why I chose to live within Bandon’s city limits. I find myself often relying on city employees to keep my retired life carefree; in 14 years I recall only 15 minutes without power! Like most people,I don’t relish the thought of paying higher taxes,or utility rates.However,some things are worth paying to maintain. Measure 6-150, authorizing the city to raise utility rates 5 percent annually, is a small request. In light of the roughly 30 percent monthly tax on basic service fees I pay to have phone/television access, it’s especially small. When compared with a $5 fee ensuring clean, safe water, a $30 entertainment tax is outrageous! While both may potentially go up, I’m stuck with set rates from communication providers, yet I can easily control my utility usage and reduce consumption 5 percent. Saddled with an extremely low tax realization, .46 per $1,000 of assessed value, Bandon will one day be unable to keep finding creative ways to offer quality services. Measure 6-150 is needed to strengthen our city now and as it grows. Some seem to fight every increase because it is suggested by the city. I

don’t know where this animosity originates, but it has become exhausting. We’ve agreed to live in a community; it’s time we realize there are some necessities required in supporting the entity to which we all turn when a problem in our lives arises. Several years ago the city proposed a $2 tax for park maintenance. It then asked, twice, for a small police levy.Each time voters rejected these limited taxes. It’s difficult to understand how we expect to pick up the phone and request a fallen limb be removed from the roadway, an officer arrive in an emergency, electricity be restored, sewer systems be maintained, and water be safe, yet forget these essential services require funding to carry out. As a retired 30-year firefighter I can say, from frightening experience, infrastructure maintenance and expansion are essential. While on a strike team, in a wealthy city that had rejected water facility expansion, our crew drained every engine, pumped every pool dry, then found itself a disheartened observer, watching home after home burn without water to assist. Planning ahead is cost effective. Rebuilding a whole community, whether after disaster or decline, is not. It’s time for a “yes” vote. Eugene Sobbota Bandon

Yes to pot; stop the hypocracy Isn’t it hypocritical of some small towns in Oregon who were so opposed to opening dispensaries where patients could buy medical marijuana with a prescription and whom now want to be able to tax the drug? In a sick way they now want to sell so much marijuana to anyone who wants it just to cash in on it. This is greed, plain and simple. But that’s going to require opening dispensaries or allowing local businesses to sell the marijuana along side bread and milk. You need look no further than your local town government to see who the hypocrites are. This developing story amazes me as to how ridiculous these people were in trying to keep medical marijuana out of the hands of patients who really needed it. And the double standard should make everyone want to vote yes on Measure 91. I’m hoping the measure passes and the state of Oregon limits the amount of tax these greedy communities can take in. Jim Puglia Myrtle Point

A vote for Robinson I am sure many of your readers, like me, have had to see all of these negative ads on their TV. Campaign ads that put down opponents and tell half-truths or out right lies turn my stomach. A candidate for office should be promoting what they plan on doing for us if elected and where they stand on the issues. That’s why I have been appalled at the ads for Peter DeFazio. He’s been in for over a quarter of a century, but he doesn’t say one thing about the trouble we’re in as a country or a state or anything about what he plans to do about it. It’s just attack, attack, attack, with no positive thinking at all. I have met and talked to Art Robinson several times over the past few months when he has visited Coos Bay and North Bend. We have discussed his views on why our government is dysfunctional and what changes he will try to make when he is elected. He has not said one bad word about his opponent, which reflects his good character. Art is a man I trust to do the right thing for me. But most of all, he is talking about jobs and education and actually gives some proposed solutions. I hope people don’t reward all of this negative campaigning. If we vote for it, we’ll only see more of it in two, four, six years time. Gary Haga North Bend

News Grandfather’s to-do list creates special family day DEAR ABBY: I am a 62year-old grandfather of a 5-year-old granddaughter. The other day I had her for the entire day. I decided to make a list of the things we were to accomplish throughout the course of the day. It turned out to be a great success. After completing each task, she would ask, “What’s next on the list?” The first item, No. 1, was to do our “strong” (that’s what we call exercise). No. 2 was to write her alphabet and numbers. No. 3 was to “go DEAR on an adventure” (that’s what we call walking the dog and exploring the nearby field). Nos. 4, 5 JEANNE and 6 — go PHILLIPS to the bank, get the car washed, then go to the park to swing, slide, etc. After the park, she asked if we could go to our favorite restaurant across the street. I replied, “How did you know that was next on the list?” Her expression was priceless. After lunch we went home and did No. 8 — another adventure, which was take the dogs for a walk again. No. 9 was painting time (what 5year-old doesn’t like to paint?). After cleaning up it was time for No. 10, wash the dishes and Swiffer the floor. No. 11 she could choose something to do. We spent the next two hours playing with her dolls. At about 5:30 my daughter came to pick her up from an exhausted grandpa. Lists will be part of our routine from now on. I slept like a log that night and hope to have many nights and days just like it in the future. — GRANDPA ROBERT IN LEXINGTON, KY. DEAR GRANDPA ROBERT: Your grandchild is lucky not only to have such a loving and dedicated grandpa, but also one with your stamina. I sometimes hear from grandparents — and other adults — who ask me for suggestions about how to better connect with their young children. Your letter is a road map that will take them in the right direction. DEAR ABBY: During one of their “stay up all night drinking beer and talking” sessions six months ago, my husband, “Ralph,” and his best friend of more than 20 years, “Jim,” had a huge fight. They haven’t spoken since. Ralph has tried at least three times to contact Jim by phone and email with no response. If Ralph’s version of the story is true, they both behaved badly. Ralph has sincerely tried to apologize, but Jim refuses to speak to him. It breaks my heart to see how much this has upset my husband. I am still Facebook friends with Jim, and every time I see him online I’m tempted to say something to him, but so far I have resisted. Would it be crossing the line for me to reach out and see if he’ll talk to me about this? Or should I stay out of it? — HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER IN ARIZONA DEAR HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER: I know you mean well, but it would be a mistake to put yourself in the middle. Whatever happened between your husband and his friend must have been a doozy. You state that this happened during one of their all-night drinking and talking sessions. To me this indicates that one or both of them may have alcohol issues that need to be addressed. This is what should be mentioned, but only to your spouse. If the loss of his long-standing friendship has been painful enough, he may be willing to listen.

Border bombing death toll rises to 60 WAGAH, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistanis mourned on Monday for the victims of a massive suicide bombing near the border with India as the death toll from the explosion the previous day rose to 60, police said. The attack, for which a Taliban splinter faction claimed responsibility, was the deadliest to hit the country in over a year. In September 2013, a suicide bombing killed at least 85 people in a church in Peshawar province.

Pakistan has seen a lull of sorts since mid-June, when the military launched a major offensive against militants in North Waziristan, a restive tribal area in the northwest, bordering Afghanistan. The army says its offensive has killed over 1,200 insurgents. In Sunday’s attack, the bomber detonated his explosives near a paramilitary checkpoint close to the Wagah border crossing with India, as hundreds of Pakistanis were returning from watching a

military parade on the outskirts of Lahore. Archrivals Pakistan and India hold daily parades and flag-flying ceremonies on their respective sides of the border, drawing thousands of spectators. The parades are meant to be a show of strength between the foes — the two nuclear-power nations have fought three wars since they gained independence in 1947. The Pakistani Taliban splinter group Jamaat-ulAhrar claimed responsibility

for the attack, saying it was in revenge for the army’s in North operations Waziristan and the killing of their fellow militants there. Ahrar broke off from the Taliban in August, after several commanders had a falling out with the rest of the Taliban leadership. “We will continue such attacks,” the group’s Ahsanullah spokesman, Ahsan, told The Associated Press. He spoke over the phone from an undisclosed location.

US approved Ferguson no-fly area to keep press out WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government allowed police in Ferguson, Missouri, to restrict more than 37 square miles of airspace for nearly two weeks in August for safety reasons, but audio recordings show that local authorities instead wanted to keep news helicopters away during violent street protests.

County police, which said the restrictions had nothing to do with limiting the press and instead were imposed because of gunshots fired at a police helicopter. But county police officials told the AP recently there was no damage to their helicopter, and they were unable to provide a report on the shooting. On the tapes, an FAA manager described reports of the helicopter shooting as unconfirmed “rumors.” The AP obtained the recordings under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. They raise serious questions about whether police were trying to suppress aerial images of the demonstrations and the police response by violating the constitutional rights of journalists with tacit assistance by federal officials.

Arrests in Halloween hit-and-run deaths LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police in suburban Los Angeles say they have made multiple arrests in the hit-and-run deaths of three teenage girls who were trick-or-treating on Halloween, but few other details have been released. Authorities in Santa Ana had been looking for the driver and another person who fled the scene of Friday evening’s crash, which claimed the lives of 13-year-old twins and their 13-year-old friend at a crosswalk. A damaged black Honda SUV was found a short distance from where the collision occurred.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — Attacks across Afghanistan, including the fatal shooting of a provincial deputy governor, killed five people as the country marked a major Shiite holiday, authorities said Monday. In southern Kandahar province, a gunman attacked Deputy Gov. Abdul Qadeem Patyall, shooting at him Sunday through the window of a classroom at Kandahar University, said Samim Khpolwak, a spokesman for the provincial governor. Patyall, who was studying to become a teacher, was seriously wounded and later died, Khpolwak said. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani sent condolences to Patyall’s family and described his killing as a terrorist attack. A government delegation also launched an investigation into the attack. Late Sunday, gunmen also killed Judge Abdul Majid as he was on his way home from a mosque in Feroz Koh, the capital of Ghor province, said Abdul Hai Khateby, a spokesman for the provincial governor. No group immediately claimed responsibility for either of Sunday’s slayings. Taliban insurgents have stepped up attacks on government officials in recent months ahead of most foreign troops withdrawing from the country at the end of the year.

Spaceship’s system deployed early LOS ANGELES (AP) — A space tourism rocket broke apart in flight over California’s Mojave Desert after a device to slow the spaceship’s experimental descent deployed too soon, federal investigators said. The cause of Friday’s crash of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo has not been determined, but investigators found the “feathering” system — which rotates the tail to create drag — was activated before the craft reached the appropriate speed, National Transportation Safety Board Acting Chairman Christopher Hart said. The system requires a two-step process to deploy. The co-pilot unlocked the system, but Hart said the second step occurred “without being commanded.” “What we know is that after it was unlocked, the feathers moved into the deploy position, and two seconds later we saw disintegration,” Hart said. The finding moves away from initial speculation that an explosion brought down the craft but still doesn’t fully explain why the disaster occurred. The investigation is months from being completed, and officials are looking possible factors including pilot error, mechanical failure, design and whether pressure existed to continue testing, Hart said.

The kid with a 60-page Christmas list I’ll never forget the day I asked one of my young piano students what he wanted for Christmas. It was a generic question, a pleasantry. I wa s n ’t l o o k i n g fo r make, model and serial number, EVERYDAY b u t CHEAPSKATE t h a t ’ s wh a t I go t . H e whipped out a 60-page list from his book bag. I gulped, checked Mary to see if t h i s Hunt c h i l d w a s s e r i o u s ( h e wa s ) , a n d quickly proceeded with his music lesson. I don’t know how many toys, electronics and gadgets he had on that list, but at five things per page that would be 300 entries. I’ll admit to participating in a few ove rly i n d u l ge d Christmases in my foolish past, but even I cannot imagine what that child’s dream Christmas would look like. Somehow I think that most of us have a bit of that kid in us. We want it all. And every bank and credit card company out there is affirming the notion and willing to make it happen. We see what we like and feel entitled to get what we want because we want it and we want it all now. In time, however, we reach the maximum level of satisfaction. It happens quietly, without fanfare. In fact, we might not be aware that we made it, so we keep working at it. Mo re s t r iv i n g to ge t more stuff to keep feeling satisfied. And the more we attempt to increase that level, the more difficult it becomes to retain a sense o f f u l f i l l m e n t . Mo re becomes less as our feelings of satisfaction diminish. By the looks of some of our closets and garages, we’ve been doing a pretty good job of trying to get it all. But how much of it satisfies? How much of what we have is actually contributing to the quality of our lives? The secret of living the life you love is the ability to identify the point of maximum fulfillment, the point of “enough.” More than what it takes to reach maximum fulfillment will not increase your happiness; in fact, it begins eating away at your sense of satisfaction. Get in touch with your i n te r n a l s a t i s fa c t i o n “meter.” Doing this will be very revealing. Rate your possessions. How much satisfaction do they give you? If you consider everything in your life — family, friends, furniture, cars, Beany Baby collection — rating its level of satisfaction, you will learn a lot about yourself and your current situation.

Letters to the Editor

LETTERS Continued from Page A4

Is it really that Sweet? Now that we have seen more Sweet signs than we can count and radio ads that add up to a lot of money, I wonder what we are really getting. I am convinced that anyone can say anything to try and get elected, caring only about the public's impression of them. This is the typical politician. But the rarity is someone running for office who only cares about the public good! It looks like a lot of money to me, and I really am concerned if the public good is going to the rubbish heap! Can I say it any clearer? Ronald Wiggins North Bend

Cast your vote for McKeown I strongly urge you to cast your vote for Caddy McKeown this November. No one in our community has invested more time and effort to revitalize our local economy. She is laser-focused in her efforts to bring jobs back to the coast, and we need her to continue working for us in Salem. I first became aware of Caddy when she was a port commissioner fighting to re-establish the Coos Bay rail line. I've worked personally with her to move the Jordan Cove Energy Project forward. In the Legislature, Caddy is leading the charge to rebuild shop programs in our high schools. She is also focused on increasing apprenticeship opportunities and building our workforce in the skilled trades. As a lifelong resident of the South Coast, Caddy McKeown understands the challenges we face turning our economy around. She has a vision for a prosperous future, and the intelligence, skill and determination to turn that vision into reality. She deserves your vote. Robert Westerman North Bend

What happens after the election? As this election cycle winds down, those who go the extra mile to help “get out the vote” want our candidates to “win”and put forward the ideas and values we support. But above and beyond that, we hope our democratic due process will continue to thrive.We work today so future generations of Americans will receive the priceless gifts of our beloved democracy. As mature citizens, we know that we will not always agree with all the decisions of our elected officials. We continue to participate in the democratic process, however, because all other options are far less acceptable than the American Dream we have inherited. We know our system is not perfect. We know powerful undemocratic interests would like it to fail. It is up to us to see that they do not succeed. There is something we have that the undemocratic forces do not have, and can never have: We

have the ability to set aside our personal selfish interests and seek a common agreement. I am a registered Democrat, but I am an “old school” Kennedy-era Democrat. I have always been willing to work with “moderate Republicans” to seek that common path. After this election, we must work together to save the underlying principles of our Democratic Republic. Those two words say it all. Thank you very much for reading, and see you at the round table after the election. Mary Stephens Florence

Dems have their big spenders, too I am always amused when I see supporters of Democratic candidates vilify and demonize billionaire donors of Republican candidates. So let us turn the tables. Here is a list of billionaire donors of Democratic candidates. S. Daniel Abraham of Slimfast, Warren Buffet; Bill Gates; David Geffen (filmmaker); Wm. Randolph Hearst III; Chris Hughes, of Facebook; George Kaiser, of Kaiser Insurance/Healthcare; Sheryl Sandberg, of Facebook; the ever popular George Soros (what country is he from?); Oprah Winfrey; Tom Steyer, of California (the Green Billionaire) who is currently backing Michelle Obama's favorite, Bruce Bailey, oops, Brayley — she couldn't get it right either — Steven Spielberg. Stop whining about the Koch brothers, and be careful of throwing stones. They, after all, supply jobs for the people of this country, unlike most politicians. Sharon Leslie Bandon

No more ‘gurus’ as usual It is always interesting to watch the sequence of political ads around election time. It gives one a window into just how stupid the pundits think their voting constituents are. One that really sticks out this go round shows a group of doe-eyed seniors sitting in a circle around what would seem to be their guru, asking him questions and basking in the enlightenment of his answers. This supposed guru talks of a feckless organization whose inability to do its job requires the intervention of an enlightened one, in order to effect the needed change. This organization is of course the American Congress. The guru, Peter DeFazio, whom has been a member of Congress for over 20 years, speaks as if he was running for the first time instead of being an entrenched part of the problem. If voters think that by voting the same way time after time that they are going to achieve a different result, then maybe these ads do work. Those voters will get more of the same old politics as usual just as they deserve. If you want to change Congress it is going to take a lot of hard work and some new Congressmen. Art Robinson is a man whose new ideas and work ethic can help fix the badly broken organization that is the American Congress. Make a difference with a

different vote this election. Rod Schilling North Bend

Sweet deserves your support I’ve read enough letters to the editor accusing John Sweet of selling out to the Indian tribe or to The Ford Family Foundation. Yes, he currently serves on a committee to help decide where the Tribe should grant the hundreds thousands of dollars it grants to Coos County each year. Yes, he was a director at the Ford Family Foundation. Yes, he voted along with the other commissioners to accept road maintenance dollars from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. (It was a maintenance agreement only, not a sale of part of our county road system, as some uninformed letter writers insist on saying.) Since when is supporting these efforts, which over the years have brought and will continue to bring millions of dollars to benefit the citizens of Coos County, contrary to the county’s well being. We need more people like John in government. Join me in voting to retain him as county commissioner. Bill Burgher Coos Bay

A vote for Beilstein, not DeFazio At a recent debate in Coos Bay, I was pleased to find that two candidates for the House believed that humans were responsible for the current climate changes. I guess around this area,two out of three is a victory of some sort. What really surprised me was the disconnect shown by Rep. DeFazio when he admitted helping to grease the way for the Jordan Cove Project. He doesn't seem to realize that if all the gas they want to export were to be burned, the change to uninhabitable planet will happen that much quicker. Any support of Jordan Cove accelerates climate change. There is a serious dissociation here. DeFazio seems so proud of his local office, but he should move it to some struggling strip mall or downtown North Bend and get away from the corrupting influence of The Port, Jordan Cove, mayor of Coos Bay and chamber of commerce, all of whom take up the rest of the building. Close by are the SCDC and real estate central. It seems these are the people he listens to. This is the “Father Knows Best” crowd who like the splashy and unnecessary airport and tower; and who used the bridge money he got to buy a failing railroad at an enormously inflated price.

the “gateway” drug/substance — the gateway drugs in our society have always been tobacco and alcohol. 3) The biggest addiction problems in our society today are prescription meds and food. 4) This 30-year “war on drugs” hasn’t worked because it isn’t a war on an inanimate drug but on people. 5) At least 10-15 percent of any population will have addiction problems — I believe some of the revenue generated by legal pot should fund addiction treatment of all substances. 6) Most of the pot now being sold in Colorado is grown locally — before legalization, most of it was coming from Mexico. 7) Legalization means taking the crime out of it — we have exported our narco violence long enough — it means more control and a revenue stream for let’s say “good, common sense education.” Robert Lynn North Bend

Runyan cares, but pick McKeown I attended the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored debate between Caddy McKeown and Casey Runyan. Clearly, Mr. Runyan is passionate, cares about Oregon and America deeply and is to be commended for his desire to serve in a public capacity. However, it quickly became clear during the debate that he is ill-prepared to be a state legislator. I, too, am concerned about rising taxes and a bloated government, but promising to eliminate every tax discussed during the debate and eliminating government from the private sector altogether is neither pragmatic nor advised. Caddy McKeown has represented the House District 9 with an aplomb and professionalism that we can all be proud of. Her political approach — both balanced and fair — is appealing to constituents on both sides of the aisle. We can count on her to keep the southern coast clearly and consistently on the radar screen in Salem. Al Pettit Coos Bay

DeFazio citing scary science It was Halloween and I saw a really scary thing the other day — our 27-year Congressman Peter DeFazio debating with Art Robinson and the Green guy. In response to a climate change question, Peter, rather than discuss the issue of the ever growing number of skeptical scientists re: climate change, casts them aside with the aspersion “deniers” and then faces the camera and tells us what we need is “regulation by an enlightened government!” Note two things, he didn’t say legislation, but regulation; and he used the term “enlightened government.” I suppose when the righteousness of your cause is so taken for granted you don’t need to debate, discuss or compromise; you need to regulate! When you have an unshakeable faith in the power of an “elite” to set all things right, the facts be damned! Historic Antarctic

ice? Irrelevant. No recorded global warming for two decades in spite of increasing CO2? Doesn’t count! The recent NOAA report declaring no connection between extreme climate events and global climate warming? What ... facts? Who is the denier? Problem is P.D. has been a public figure long enough for us to see that his progressive brand of recycled socialism doesn’t work. We see how well our enlightened government responds to Ebola and ISIS. We know that increased fuel costs are bad for all of us, especially the working middle class. But not Peter, it is time for him to head for New Zealand. Another two years for this “enlightened” congressman is simply too scary to contemplate. Frank Sproul Bandon

Pick Robinson over DeFazio Recently, U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio lied to Democrats in a cynical and hypocritical campaign email plea entitled “Elephants never forget?” (sic) in which he states that “Republican operatives and their friends on Wall Street ... hate (his) plan to put an end to Wall Street speculation and tax loopholes.” DeFazio has repeatedly implied or stated that his opponent Art Robinson is beholden to nefarious corporate and Wall Street players, in contrast to DeFazio’s own expressed concern only for the little guy. I did some research on the Federal Election Commission website, FEC.gov, to see for myself. As of June (latest data available), fully 57 percent of DeFazio’s campaign funds had come from corporate and special-interest PACs. I downloaded the list, which includes Raytheon Corp. PAC, Honeywell PAC, Goodyear Tire PAC, Clear Channel Communications PAC, United Airlines PAC, Delta Airlines PAC, and 253 others totaling over $436,000, with dozens of corporations represented. Is that the “little guy?” Or how about almost $12,000 that Pete’s collected from Berkshire Hathaway? Warren Buffet exemplifies the Wall Street fat cat and supports ... Pete DeFazio. In contrast, Dr. Robinson’s corporate PAC receipts are $0. That’s zero dollars from corporate special interests. Why? It’s because Dr. Robinson will not be beholden to big corporations and Wall Street, and they know it. They know which side their bread’s buttered on: the greasy side of crony congressional influence-peddling offered up by sneaky career power mongers like Peter, who sell their influence while posing as the champion of the common man and amassing millions in personal wealth for themselves. I’ve had enough! Corporate profits are at all-time highs while Coos County is still choked by unemployment and over regulation. Please join me in purging Congress, to restore the citizen legislator envisioned by our nation’s founders. Dr. Robinson advocates term limits, starting with himself. Let’s fix the stinking cesspool of congressionalcorporate crony slime, and let’s do it now. Rod Taylor Bandon

TRANSITION State cuts ties with Oracle Continued from Page A1 and to finish building the state’s Medicaid system. And earlier this month, officials cut all remaining ties with the state’s main technology contractor Oracle Corp. and decided to use another state’s Medicaid enrollment system instead of salvaging some of Oracle’s technology. That system won’t be ready until next year, so Medicaid-eligible residents will also use HealthCare.gov during the new enrollment period. Deloitte is the “system integrator,” the general contractor that oversees the entire transition. The decision to forego a system integrator by Cover Oregon was widely blamed for contributing to the site’s failure to launch. Deloitte will also create a — website new OregonHealthCare.gov — that won’t enroll people, but will redirect Oregonians to HealthCare.gov. The transition to HealthCare.gov has been glitch-free so far. “Overall the project is on track, it’s going well,” said Tina Edlund, the state administrator in charge of overseeing the transition. Oregon’s 15 insurance carriers have already uploaded their plan information, costsharing information, and to data premium HealthCare.gov, Edlund said.

The carriers are currently undergoing end-to-end testing; none have reported experiencing any problems. The federal government also has updated HealthCare.gov to include language specific to Oregon. Residents’ individual data isn’t being transferred to HealthCare.gov for reasons of privacy and security, Edlund said. That’s why all residents who previously enrolled in private insurance via Cover Oregon will have to reapply via HealthCare.gov. There will be plenty of support for those applying for or changing insurance plans. Oregonians will now have access to two call centers. The federal call center will help them with enrollment issues. The state’s call center will assist with general questions, shopping for plans, or access to community partners, navigators, and insurance brokers. Agents who want to sell insurance via the federal exchange have undergone said. officials training, Oregon is also currently training community partners and navigators on how to use the federal portal. The Oregon Health Authority has issued $1 million in grants to these partner organizations to continue helping residents. Officials said applying through HealthCare.gov will be much easier than through Cover Oregon, because people can apply online, in one sitting. Edlund said she has not heard of any current issues with the federal portal, which experienced major technical problems when it first

RESTART Continued from Page A1 HealthCare.gov to shop for plans and enroll. Americans making less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for a subsidy, also called advanced premium tax credits. Those who don’t believe they qualify for a subsidy can buy coverage outside the exchange, directly through carriers. IF YOU QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID: Low-income residents eligible for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), the state’s version of Medicaid, can enroll year-round. Until Nov. 15, they will use the hybrid manual-online enrollment process developed by the state. Starting on Nov. 15, they must use HealthCare.gov to apply for OHP. Some people, including pregnant women, refugees and people with disabilities, will continue to use the hybrid manual process even after Nov. 15. Next year, Oregon plans to build a new Medicaid portal — using the technology of another state’s Medicaid enrollment site — but that portal won’t be available during the coming open enrollment period. IF YOU’RE A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER: Small business owners can still receive tax credits when they offer insurance to their employees. To gain access to the subsidy, business owners should work directly through an insur-

ance broker. Oregon will not be using the federal SHOP program on HealthCare.gov for 2015. WHEN DOES COVERAGE START: For those who qualify for Medicaid, coverage starts immediately. For those who enroll in private insurance between the 1st and 15th of the month, coverage starts the first day of the next month; those who enroll between the 16th and the last day of the month will have coverage the first day of the second following month. Residents who choose a plan by Dec. 15 will have coverage starting as early as Jan. 1, 2015. WHAT’S THE PENALTY FOR LACK OF INSURANCE? People who don’t have health coverage during 2015 may have to pay a penalty. The penalty in 2015 is higher than it was in 2014 — 2 percent of a person’s income or $325 per adult ($162.50 per child), whichever is greater. The penalty amount increases every year until 2016 when it reaches $695/per adult, or 2.5 percent of income. BOTTOM LINE, WHAT WEBSITE TO USE: Most residents should use HealthCare.Gov. CoverOregon.com will continue to serve as a source of information. The old website will also connect residents to community partners, navigators, and insurance agents and will allow people to make appointments with them online via a finder tool. Residents can also go to OregonHealthCare.gov to get enrollment information. Both sites will redirect people to the federal portal, HealthCare.gov.

launched. Earlier this month, the Obama administration unveiled a revamped version of HealthCare.gov featuring a simpler application and a site optimized for mobile devices. A total of 36 states are currently using HealthCare.gov, and Oregon and Nevada will join them shortly. While the HealthCare.gov technology should work better, experts say the up to 7 million returning customers across the United States may face complications as they try to renew or change plans. They will also have to file forms with their 2014 tax returns to prove they got the right subsidy amount. And those who remained uninsured will face a tax penalty unless they can secure an

exemption. Oregon officials have been reaching out to the residents to inform them about the changes and deadlines, said Cover Oregon executive director Aaron Patnode. He said the state plans to spend $1.5 million on television, radio and online advertising that will direct residents to HealthCare.gov, starting after the election. About 416,000 residents enrolled in coverage through Cover Oregon in 2014. An estimated 105,000 of those enrolled in private health plans, while 311,000 enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan, Oregon’s version of Medicaid. There are no estimates as to how many Oregonians could enroll in 2015. But a

study released in September showed 95 percent of the state population now has coverage and about 202,000 Oregonians remain uninsured. In the meantime, a grand jury is investigating Cover Oregon, as is the federal Government Accountability Office and the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The state and Oracle Corp., the main technology contractor responsible for developing the exchange, are suing each other. The state paid Oracle about $240 million in federal funds to develop the exchange portal and related work.

No on Measure 91 (Total raised: $179,000) ■ Oregon State Sheriffs Association ($145,000) Oregon’s elected sheriffs are being badly outspent by proponents of legalizing marijuana.

GALES Another appeal is anticipated Continued from Page A1 request information on the cost of an appeal, county officials said. “We got approved, which was a good thing,” Haley said. “We’re gunning for the next appeal, which is going to come in the next week, we assume. And we’re going to get ready for the board of commissioners.” The golf course would be built on a portion of the Knapp Ranch between Port Orford and the Elk River. The planning commission voted 7-1 to approve the project, with Kevin McHugh voting against. McHugh initially questioned why the commission had to take any action, since the new application was nearly identical to the one the group approved late last year, but Jerry Herbage, the county’s attorney, said the proposal was an entirely new application and pointed out the previous one has been withdrawn. Before voting, the commission spent nearly two hours haggling over conditions to be placed on the permit. Among the changes, the group added that barriers (perhaps fences) be constructed and warning signs be posted in areas near a bluff overlooking the beach that has been eroding over time, that a bioswale that will serve as the drainage area for the course be designed by an expert to detain and filter chemicals (fertilizers and herbicides) used for maintaining the golf course, and that a gorse management plan designed by an invasive plant specialist be developed and used during construction. The developers oppose some of the new conditions, which they think were adequately addressed in their application, Haley said. They hope to address them at the commissioners’ level if the project is appealed by the environmental groups. “We’re going to clean it up as much as we can and move forward,” Haley said.

Bulldogs will host La Grande Playoff matchups are set for football, soccer ■

THE WORLD North Bend will open the Class 4A football playoffs at home Friday night against La Grande. Even though La Grande won the Greater Oregon League, the Tigers didn’t finish in the top 16 in the final rankings, so they weren’t awarded a home game — they did have a bye through the play-in round. North Bend is the No. 2 seed for the playoffs, which means the Bulldogs would have another home game in the quarterfinals if they win Friday night. The semifinals are played at neutral sites. The other two Far West League teams still alive in the playoffs will be on the road. Siuslaw, which eliminated Marshfield in the play-in round Friday, visits Mazama on Friday. South Umpqua will be at Philomath. Aside from North Bend, the only South Coast team with a home game this week is Gold Beach, which hosts Oakridge on Saturday in the Class 2A quarterfinals. The other three South Coast teams in the playoffs all face long road trips for their first-round games. Coquille, which is the No. 10 seed in Class 3A, will be at Vale, which is seeded seventh despite being one of just two unbeaten teams in Class 3A. Vale’s wins include victories over both Baker and Ontario, which matched La Grande with 2-1 records in the Greater Oregon League. Myrtle Point will be at Heppner in the Class 2A playoffs after placing third in the Sunset Conference. The Bobcats are in the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Heppner reached the semifinals last year. In the Class 1A playoffs, Powers visits Wallowa on Saturday. In the Class 4A soccer playoffs, North Bend’s boys will host Ontario at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. While the unbeaten Bulldogs won the Far West League, the Tigers finished in a tie for second in the Greater Oregon League with a 92-1 record. North Bend’s girls, fresh off their dramatic play-in round win over Seaside, will visit Henley in a first-round game at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. The Hornets were champions of the Skyline League and only gave up two goals in their last 10 matches, which included nine wins.

Pirates punch ticket to state tourney BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield’s volleyball team finally stamped its ticket to Eugene. After missing the Class 4A state tournament last year, the Pirates advanced with a four set playoff win over Astoria on Saturday, beating the Fishermen 25-10, 20-25, 25-13, 26-24 at Pirate Palace. “That was the most exciting game of the season,” senior Abby Clough said. “I’m so happy we got to redeem ourselves from last year.” Marshfield’s 2013 season ended in the same round, when Ridgeview marched into Pirate Palace and stole a five-set win through stout size and dominance at the net. In response, Marshfield finished this season 24-2 and 10-0 to claim the Far West League title, needing Saturday’s win to advance to the state tournament at Lane Community College. This year, Marshfield wasn’t about to have a repeat of 2013’s postseason. “Last year I didn’t know how much I wanted it until I lost, so

Down 15-8, Montiel called a timeout to let her team regroup. “This is our time for our comeback,” the Pirate coach told her team. “We gotta do this now.” Marshfield rifled off 13 of the next 15 points to go up 21-17, but Astoria clawed back to tie the game at 23. Standing on the left side right underneath the umpire, senior Paige Tavernier looked back at her team and repeated her coach’s message. “LET’S GET THIS RIGHT NOW,” Tavernier screamed, finger pointing down with each syllable. Four points later, a foot-fault gave Marshfield the set 26-24, cementing the win and the Pirates spot in the tournament. “It’s indescribably amazing,” Clough said, adding she came in to the game with “jelly legs” because of how nervous she was. Jensen had 27 assists and 17 digs on top of three aces. Gabby Bryant had 18 digs for the Pirates. SEE MARSHFIELD | B5

EUGENE — Bandon freshman Sailor Hutton didn’t worry when she finished second to St. Mary’s standout Marissa Dobry at the district meet. She knew the big race was still a week away. Hutton pulled away from Dobry over the last mile Saturday at Lane Community College to win the Class 3A-2A-1A girls state cross country title. In the process, Hutton helped the Tigers place third in the team race, continuing a recent run of success for the program. “It feels awesome,” Hutton said of her title. “I knew this was the race. Districts I wasn’t worried.” Hutton finished in 18 minutes and 36 seconds, beating Dobry by 33 seconds. Hutton’s time was

faster than the Class 4A champion and would have placed in the top five in the Class 5A and 6A races. Hutton said she hit her Inside splits perfectly MHS boys and for the first NB girls earn mile, keeping state trophies the fast-startPage B6 ing Dobry in her sights. She caught her at the 2-mile mark. “It wasn’t really planned to take off in the middle of the race,” she said. “The plan was to follow her. The opportunity was there.” Hutton passed Dobry on a short hill and pulled away. Teammate Aida Santoro finished fifth. That was two spots better than last year, but she said she wasn’t pleased after getting passed by a couple of runners just before the end.

“I’m not really happy with how I ran today,” she said. “I’m happy I put in a good effort for the team.” The Tigers and St. Mary’s were expected to battle for the title, but Union ended up edging the Crusaders by a single point for its third straight title. The Bobcats had four of the top 13 finishers and finished with 58 points. St. Mary’s was second with 59 and Bandon had 93, the same as Enterprise.

Sports Hamilton wins Grand Prix of Texas AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Race by race and point by point, Lewis Hamilton is tightening his grip on the Formula One world championship and squeezing out Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg. But not so far as to eliminate his rival as a title threat. Not yet. Hamilton won the U.S. Grand Prix on Sunday, moving 24 points clear of Rosberg with just two races left. It was Hamilton’s second win in Texas in three years, his 10th on the season and fifth in a row. “This whole season has been incredible,” Hamilton said after playfully taking former world champion Mario Andretti’s black Stetson cowboy hat on the winner’s podium. “I pushed as hard as I could.” Mercedes had another 1-2 finish in a dominating season that has pushed Hamilton and Rosberg well clear of the pack in the title chase. Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo was third for his eighth podium finish on the season. Rosberg could still find a way to steal the title from Hamilton. Formula One moves to Brazil next weekend and the final race in Abu Dhabi will be worth double points in a rule change this season. “Full attack,” Rosberg said. “We’ll try to be on the pole and win (in Brazil). There’s a lot of points to be had.” Hamilton said aggressive driving got him this far and he won’t try to dial it back over the final two races. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, the defending race and world champion, started from pit lane after incurring a penalty for using his sixth engine of the season. He fought all the way back to finish seventh.

Carmelo scores 20,000th point in Knicks win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

Jeff Gordon is in the middle of a fight after the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas on Sunday. The crews of Gordon and Brad Keselowski fought after the race.

Gordon, Keselowski in lastest NASCAR brawl FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Brad Keselowski is doing everything he can for a chance at another NASCAR championship. No matter how angry he makes other drivers. Jeff Gordon was fighting mad at Texas, leading to a post-race confrontation with Keselowski and a big melee. Gordon’s shot at a huge playoff victory got wiped out after hard contact during extra laps Sunday. “It’s his disregard for what’s going on out there,” said Gordon, the four-time champion who in an earlier live postrace television interview used an expletive in referring to Keselowski. “He made an over-aggressive move. Those are moves you find if you’ve got a slamming, banging race. He cut my left rear tire. That was it for me. It’s a real shame.” After spinning out, losing a lap in the pits and finishing 29th, Gordon became the second competitor in four races during the Chase for the

Sprint Cup championship to confront 2012 champ Keselowski after the checkered flag. Fireworks exploded in the sky, and on pit road, while Gordon teammate Jimmie Johnson celebrated his third consecutive victory in the Texas fall race. Gordon was leading on a restart on Lap 335, one more than the race’s scheduled length, when he took the outside line. When the No. 24 car drifted up a bit, Keselowski pushed through the gap before the contact. “By the time it closed up, I was committed, and I stayed in it. That almost won me the race,” said an unapologetic Keselowski, who finished third. “I’m doing everything I can to win this championship, racing at 100 percent. That’s something I’m not going to be ashamed for.” At Charlotte Motor Speedway last month, it was Matt Kenseth who lost his

cool and attacked Keselowski. Gordon stopped his car right by Keselowski after the Texas race, and there were plenty of punches thrown. NASCAR officials were in the middle of crew members and others around Keselowski’s No. 2 car. It seemed the only contact among drivers was when Kevin Harvick shoved Keselowski into the fracas, and Gordon briefly appeared to grab hold of Keselowski’s firesuit. “I just turned him around and told him to go fight his own fight,” Harvick said. The eight Chase contenders going to Phoenix next week are separated by only 18 points. Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin both have 4,072 points, two more than Ryan Newman. Gordon dropped from first to fourth after the Texas rumble, a point ahead of Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Keselowski and Harvick round out the contenders.

NEW YORK — On a night when he joined the NBA’s 20,000-point club, Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points, including the go-ahead basket with 1:23 remaining, and the New York Knicks narrowly defeated the Charlotte Hornets 96-93. Al Jefferson had 21 points, and Gary Neal added 17 points in a reserve role for the Hornets (1-2), who lost their second straight. Charlotte’s guard Michael Kidd-Gilchrist fell awkwardly late in the first quarter and didn’t return to the game. Amar’e Stoudemire had 17 points for the Knicks (2-1), who won their second straight. Iman Shumpert added 15 points. Heat 107, Raptors 102: Chris Bosh scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Miami beat Toronto for the 16th straight time. Dwyane Wade added 19 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists for the Heat (3-0), who are the last unbeaten team in the Eastern Conference. Luol Deng scored 18, Shawne Williams added 16, and Mario Chalmers finished with 12 for Miami. DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points for Toronto (2-1), which hasn’t beaten Miami since Jan. 27, 2010. Kyle Lowry added 22 points, including a layup that got the Raptors within four with 21 seconds left. Jonas Valanciunas scored 14, and Greivis Vasquez finished with 12 for Toronto, which was outrebounded 43-28. Miami led by as many as 16 late in the third quarter

before the Raptors came roaring back. Kings 98, Clippers 92: DeMarcus Cousins had 34 points and 17 rebounds, Rudy Gay added 25 points, and Sacramento handed the poor-shooting Los Angeles Clippers their first loss. The Kings (2-1) rallied from a 10-point deficit in the third quarter and outscored the Clippers 28-18 in the fourth. They took the lead for good on a layup by Gay with just under six minutes to play. Blake Griffin and Spencer Hawes both scored 17 points to lead five Clippers in double figures. Chris Paul had 16 points and 11 assists, J.J. Redick had 12 points, and Jordan Farmar 10. The Clippers (2-1) struggled for the third straight game, shooting 33 of 88. They were 9 of 31 from 3point range, with Matt Barnes, Paul and Redick combining to miss a slew in the fourth.

Pierce ejected in his first home game WASHINGTON (AP) — Paul Pierce was been ejected in his first home game with the Washington Wizards. Pierce was tossed with 7 seconds remaining in the first half of Saturday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks. After a long video review determined that Pierce was guilty of a clear path foul, he disputed the call and was whistled for a technical. A few seconds later — before Milwaukee’s Brandon Knight could take the first free throw — Pierce was given a second technical and tossed from the game.

Blazers get sloppy in final seconds, lose 95-90 PORTLAND (AP) — Warriors guard Klay Thompson was getting pestered by Portland’s Wesley Matthews, so in a split second he scrapped his plans to drive to the hoop and instead just shot on the run. The shot fell with 8.9 seconds left on the clock, and Thompson finished with 29 points in Golden State’s 9590 victory over the Trail Blazers on Sunday night. “If I had a jumper I was going to shoot it and if he was on my hip I was going to try to get to the rim,” Thompson said. “Since he was right there I decided to try a tough floater and it went in.” It was the Warriors’ third straight win to open the season — their best start since 199495 when they opened 5-0. LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Blazers, who dropped to 1-2 to start the season. “Our goal was to force them to make tough shots, and they did,” Aldridge said. After wrestling for the lead throughout the fourth quarter, Aldridge’s layup and

a fadeaway jumper with 2:01 left gave Portland a narrow 90-88 lead. Andre Iguodala missed the second of a pair of free throws for Golden State with 26.3 seconds to go to keep the Blazers in front. But Thompson nailed the floater to give the Warriors a 91-90 lead with under 10 seconds on the clock. “We bring him (Thompson) off a little counter-screen on the baseline and Matthews chased him, but this is what Klay has become now. He’s not just a jump shooter. He’s a guy who can get into the paint and use his size and strength to get shots up like that,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Steph Curry made free throws the rest of the way for the final margin. Curry finished with 21 points for the Warriors. Thompson scored a career-high 41 points the night before in a 127-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson combined with Curry to score 72 of Golden State’s points. Coach Steve Kerr said

before Sunday’s game that he was impressed — but not only with the scoring outburst from the duo known as the Splash Brothers. “It’s a tandem that’s playing both ends of the floor. That’s exciting,” he said. Thompson and Curry scored Golden State’s first 16 points against the Blazers, and the Warriors built a 2414 first-quarter lead after Thompson’s 3-pointer. Golden State led by as many as 12 points, but Portland closed the gap to 38-27 following Matthews’ 3-pointer and Thomas Robinson’s basket. The Blazers couldn’t pull in front but kept it close and trailed by just 51-48 at the half. Portland briefly pulled ahead 68-66 late in the third quarter on Will Barton’s 22foot pull-up jumper and the game was tied at 68 going into the back-and-fourth fourth. Robin Lopez, who had collected five fouls, hit a short jumper to give Portland an 80-79 lead with 5:49 left. Lopez finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

progressed. “It was pretty much a mud fest for the boys,” Eastwood said. “Our goalie couldn’t keep the mud off his gloves.” That meant a lot of balls that normally would be easily grabbed instead had to be punched away from the goal, Eastwood said. The score was 1-0 at halftime, but Philomath stretched its lead after halftime. “We had some great attacks and

played really well,” Eastwood said. “Possession was great. We just couldn’t come up with any goals.” The loss didn’t dampen the positive attitude the team had for the year, Eastwood said. “It was a great season overall, and afterward, the team had some words to share about the season which were very positive,” Eastwood said. “I’m extremely proud of everyone and wish all the success to our graduating seniors

for the Class of 2014-15.” Philomath visits Molalla in the first round of the playoffs on Wednesday.

Seahawks start fast, hold off Raiders SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks had a 24-3 lead over winless Oakland at halftime. The injury-ravaged defending Super Bowl champions ended up barely holding on. “This week, came out, played three quarters and then the fourth quarter we took our foot off the pedal or whatnot,” Seattle defensive end Cliff Avril said. “We just have to be consistent and be able to put a full game together.” Seattle escaped with a 30-24 victory Sunday, leaning heavily on Marshawn Lynch and a stingy defense that gave rookie quarterback Derek Carr headaches. Russell Wilson struggled through one of his worst passing games, going 17 of 35 for 179 yards. The Seahawks (5-3) won’t look back on this victory with any reverence, other than the ability to grind out their second straight win. Lynch had two first-half touchdown runs and his day would have

been much bigger if not for penalties calling back some significant gains. Lynch finished with 143 total yards rushing and receiving and had 26 touches. “It’s a team game. We played as a team,” Lynch said. Oakland (0-8) lost its 14th straight game dating to last season. The Raiders have been competitive, but continue to make critical mistakes they can’t overcome. This time it was three first-half turnovers, including Carr’s two interceptions. “I’m just trying to do too much,” Carr said. “I just needed to settle down. I came in at the half and said ‘Man, I just need to play football. I’m here for a reason and I just need to settle down and do my job.”’ Here are other things learned from Seattle’s victory: Irvin’s impact: The past two weeks has shown the potential of Bruce Irvin and why the Seahawks can often live with some of his mis-

takes. Last week against Carolina, Irvin had two key sacks on Carolina’s final possession that displayed his pure pass rush ability. Sunday his pure athleticism was on display. Irvin’s interception showed everything Carroll has admired about Irvin since he was recruiting him at Southern California. Irvin dropped into coverage and jumped to deflect Carr’s pass into the air.He came down and located the ball,grabbing the interception, then used his speed to beat Carr to the pylon for the first touchdown of his career. “Tried to be opportunistic and try to make a play when I can. I was just fortunate enough that it bounced straight up and came back down,” Irvin said. Third phase: Oakland was able to get back in it in the second half because of its special teams. Denico Autry blocked Jon Ryan’s punt on the first possession and Brice Butler recovered the ball in the end zone for

a touchdown. It was the first blocked punt for a touchdown against Seattle since 2003 and the second for Oakland in the past two seasons. T.J. Carrie made up for a firsthalf kickoff return fumble with a 27-yard punt return to set up Carr’s first touchdown toss to Rivera late in the third quarter. “We needed something to be able to turn the tide a little bit,” coach Tony Sparano said. Line dance: Seattle’s injuries continued to pile up and led to more shuffling especially on the offensive line. Patrick Lewis started at center because of injuries to Max Unger and Stephen Schilling. Russell Okung was inactive, leaving Alvin Bailey to make his first start at left tackle. Left guard James Carpenter went down in the second half with an ankle injury and was replaced by Garry Gilliam — a tackle. The shuffling up front certainly didn’t help Seattle’s struggling pass game although Carroll didn’t want to use

that as an excuse for Wilson. “He wasn’t concerned about that going in and didn’t feel it during the game either,” Carroll said. Sherm’s turn: Seattle’s Richard Sherman was patiently waiting for a ball to come his direction that he could make a play on and finally get his first interception of the season. Carr was willing to oblige, attempting a back-shoulder throw for Andre Holmes. Sherman had better position and was able to pull the ball in with his left hand. It was his first interception since Week 16 of last season and was welcomed after going through games earlier this season where he wasn’t even thrown at. “Just waiting. There hasn’t been a year yet I haven’t got one,” Sherman said. “I knew eventually; if you’re out there long enough and you’re in position and you’re playing the game the way you are supposed to, the football Gods will get what you need.”

Player with brain tumor makes dream of playing come true THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (11) celebrates a touchdown catch from quarterback Tom Brady, far left, in the first half against the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, second from left, watches.

Brady gets best of Manning, Broncos THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Brady-Manning XVI was over before halftime. While Peyton Manning, by his own estimate, was stinking up the joint, Tom Brady was throwing for four touchdown passes, leading the New England Patriots to a 43-21 romp over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. New England (7-2) won its fifth straight, halting the four-game winning streak for Denver (6-2) in emphatic fashion. Brady has 18 TD passes and one interception in those five victories. “At the end of the day one person can’t do it alone,” said Brady, who made his 200th start; he has won 155 of those, an NFL record. “I’ve been a part of so many great teams ... I’ve been very privileged to play with great players and teammates that really work their butts off for each other. That’s why you string together five wins in a row like we’ve done.” Manning thought it was an awful performance by the Broncos (6-2), starting with their quarterback. “The quarterback stinks, usually you’re not going to win many games,” Manning said, Manning fell to 2-7 at Gillette Stadium and 5-11 overall against Brady, even though he threw for 438 yards and two touchdowns. He has at least two TD passes in 14 consecutive games, an NFL record. Julian Edelman returned a punt 84 yards for a score and also had a 5-yard TD catch as New England took a 27-3 halftime lead and coasted. Steelers 43, Ravens 23: At Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger threw for six scores to set an NFL record for touchdown passes in consecutive games. A week after passing for a franchiserecord six touchdowns against Indianapolis, Roethlisberger duplicated the feat as Pittsburgh (6-3) earned its third consecutive win. Roethlisberger’s 12 touchdown passes over the last two games broke the mark of 11 set by Tom Flores for Oakland in 1963 and matched by New England’s Tom Brady in 2007. “This is a heck of a rivalry,” Roethlisberger said. “I know fans all around the world love this rivalry and it’s special when you come out on top.” Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 138 yards and a score. Rookie Martavis Bryant hauled in two scoring receptions and has five touchdowns in three games. Joe Flacco passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but the Ravens (5-4) were undone by a sloppy second quarter.

NFL Recap

Cardinals 28, Cowboys 17: The Cardinals (7-1), who have sole possession of the best record in the NFC for the first time since 1974, won their fourth straight. They have beaten all five conference opponents. NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray’s record streak of eight 100yard games to start the season for Dallas (6-3) ended against a defense that didn’t allow a back over the century mark for the 18th consecutive time. He had 79 yards on 19 carries. Arizona’s Andre Ellington outgained Murray on the ground with 95 yards and added another 39 receiving. Carson Palmer had three touchdown passes after an early interception the host Cowboys returned for a score, and the Dallas offense struggled without the injured Tony Romo (back). Eagles 31, Texans 21: At Houston, Mark Sanchez threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns. After starter Nick Foles injured his left shoulder late in the first quarter, Sanchez saw his first action since 2012 with the Jets. He also threw two interceptions. The Eagles (6-2) led by three when Jeremy Maclin grabbed a low throw from Sanchez for an 8-yard touchdown catch to clinch it. Maclin finished with two touchdowns and 158 yards receiving and LeSean McCoy had 117 yards rushing. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 203 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Houston (4-5). Rams 13, 49ers 10: With 2 seconds remaining, Colin Kaepernick fumbled at the goal line. James Laurinaitis recovered for the visiting Rams (3-5), who sacked the San Francisco quarterback eight times. “I just went to kind of meet him head to head down there and as I’m going down, I just see the ball sitting there,” Laurinaitis Laurinaitis. Greg Zuerlein kicked a go-ahead 39yard field goal for the Rams with 5:25 left. San Francisco (4-4) got the ball back at its 12 with 3:11 remaining before Kaepernick’s bobble. Dolphins 37, Chargers 0: Ryan Tannehill threw for 288 yards and three scores, and Miami forced four turnovers. Tannehill went 24 for 34 and threw touchdown passes to Charles Clay, Rishard Matthews and Jarvis Landry. San Diego’s Philip Rivers threw three interceptions, two to Brent Grimes, and was sacked three times. The Dolphins (5-3) earned their third consecutive victory. The Chargers (5-4) lost their third game in a row and remain winless in South Florida since January 1982. San Diego was shut out

for the first time since 1999. Bengals 33, Jaguars 23: At Cincinnati, rookie Jeremy Hill ran for a career-high 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 60-yarder in the fourth quarter. Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes, one to A.J. Green in the star receiver’s return from a toe injury, but also had a pair of interceptions that kept it close. The Jaguars (1-8) turned Dalton’s second interception into Denard Robinson’s 5-yard touchdown run, cutting it to 26-23. Hill broke his 60-yard touchdown run on Cincinnati’s next play from scrimmage. Rookie Blake Bortles, who leads the NFL in interceptions, helped the Bengals (5-2-1) seal it by throwing a pick to George Iloka in the end zone. Bortles threw two touchdown passes to Allen Hurns. Chiefs 24, Jets 10: At Kansas City, Alex Smith threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns, Jamaal Charles ran for another score and the Chiefs sent New York (1-8) to its eighth straight loss. Tight ends Travis Kelce and Anthony Fasano each caught touchdown passes, and the Chiefs (5-3) won their third straight and fifth in six games. Making his first start with the Jets, Michael Vick was 21 of 27 for 196 yards and a touchdown. He briefly left in the fourth quarter after taking a massive hit from the Chiefs’ Josh Mauga and walking unsteadily off the field, but eventually returned. Vikings 29, Redskins 26: At Minneapolis, rookie Teddy Bridgewater outplayed Robert Griffin III down the stretch after a rough start, and Matt Asiata ran for three scores. Bridgewater completed 26 of 42 passes for 268 yards for the Vikings (45), who sacked Griffin five times in his return to the lineup. Griffin went 18 for 28 for 251 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Redskins (3-6), who lost three leads despite 92 yards and two touchdowns rushing by Alfred Morris and 120 yards receiving from DeSean Jackson. Browns 22, Buccaneers 17: At Cleveland, Brian Hoyer threw a 34-yard TD pass to Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining. Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer completed his second TD pass. Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. He improved to 8-3 as Cleveland’s starter. Mike Glennon threw a pair of 24yard TDs passes to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (1-7), who have lost four in a row and five this season by six points or less.

CINCINNATI — Lauren Hill needed just 17 seconds to make her dream come true, albeit differently than she initially imagined. The freshman forward for Division III Mount St. Joseph’s made an uncontested left-handed layup for the opening basket Sunday against Hiram College. Hill has just months to live because of an inoperable brain tumor that has forced the right-hander to shoot with her left hand because the tumor has affected her coordination. Her shot brought a standing ovation from a sellout crowd at Xavier University’s 10,000-seat arena and was among many emotional moments for Hill, who received love and supthe port from moment she walked out for warmups. The audience included former Tennessee women’s coach Pat Summitt. Mount St. Joseph won 6655.

Nationwide Series. He also was won 29 times in the Sprint Cup Series and his 42nd victory in the Camping World Truck Series came Friday night at the high1 banked, 1 ⁄2-mile track. Nationwide season leader Chase Elliott finished fourth, moving 48 points ahead of Regan Smith with two races left.

ARCADIA, Calif. — Bayern won the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic by a nose Saturday, surviving a stewards’ inquiry prompted by multiple horses bumping near the start. Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert had to wait, along with a crowd of 61,114 at Santa Anita, to confirm that he had finally won North America’s richest race after failing in 12 previous tries. The two-day world championships concluded with trainer Chad Brown claiming three victories, while trainer Wesley Ward had two. European horses earned just one victory, with 30-1 shot Karakontie in the $2 million Mile. The biggest upset came in the $2 million Juvenile Fillies, with Take Charge Brandi kicking off the nine Cup races with a 61-1 upset for 79year-old Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas.

Saturday games will reduce field for first playoffs BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota runs towards the end zone during the fourth quarter against Stanford on Saturday.

Ducks finally solve Stanford riddle EUGENE (AP) — Marcus Mariota says the Oregon Ducks refuse to let the loss to Arizona back at the start of October define their season. With a 45-16 victory over Stanford on Saturday night, the Ducks (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12, No. 5 CFP) further distanced themselves from that loss but remained at No. 5 in the AP Top 25 on Sunday. The College Football Playoff committee will decide if Oregon deserves to be among the top four on Tuesday. The Ducks will face a challenge next weekend when they visit No. 20 Utah, which fell 19-16 in overtime at Arizona State on Saturday night. After that, they’ll wrap up the season against Colorado and Oregon State. Oregon hadn’t been able to beat Stanford for the past two seasons, and both times the losses thwarted the Ducks’ march toward a possible national championship bid. To fall again to the Cardinal would have done the same, giving the Ducks two losses on the season and putting Stanford in command of the Pac-12 North. “I think guys, with that loss (to Arizona), kind of grew up a little bit. A lot of maturity: The guys understand that we’ll kind of have our backs up against the wall with some of our goals this year,” said Oregon quarterback and clear Heisman Trophy candidate Marcus Mariota. “We’ve got to keep fighting through. Hats off to the guys in that locker room. They fought, and fought and fought,” he added. “And that’s what we’ve got to continue to do if we want our season what we want it to be.” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said the

Arizona loss seemed to refocus the Ducks in their preparation. “Particularly after the Arizona game it’s been more competitive, a better sense of urgency,” Helfrich said Sunday. “All those things, win or lose, you try to impart on these guys of getting better in everything we do. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s adversity in the form of a loss that wakes everybody up. You don’t want to lose but how our guys responded to that and how they came together is very encouraging. We’ve gotten better every week.” Mariota passed for 258 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 85 yards and two more scores against Stanford. It was his 35th straight game with a touchdown pass, the second longest streak nationally behind Marshall’s Rakeem Cato (40). He has passed for multiple touchdowns in nine straight games, the longest active streak in FBC. With four total touchdowns Saturday, he upped his total this season to 34. And it was Mariota’s first victory over Stanford. “I haven’t seen everybody, but they’re really, really good,” Stanford coach David Shaw said about the Ducks. “You could say in the last couple of years we’ve been evenly matched with us winning the last two. In this one, they were the better team. There are really not a lot of weaknesses on this team.” The Ducks didn’t just beat Stanford, they dominated, finding plenty of holes in the vaunted Cardinal defense. Stanford’s defense had not allowed an opponent more than 30 points in a string of 31 games, the longest streak in

the nation. The Cardinal (5-4, 3-3) had allowed just four total rushing touchdowns through the season’s first eight games; Oregon finished with four. The Cardinal had allowed opponents an average of just 250.6 yards a game going into Autzen Stadium, and opponents were only averaging 12.5 points. Oregon had 525 yards in total offense. The Ducks also had success this season over another stout defense: Michigan State. The Ducks defeated the Spartans 46-27 in the season’s second week, nearly reaching 500 offensive yards. Seventh-ranked Michigan State’s defense is currently ranked fifth nationally, allowing an average of 279.4 yards per game. Shaw said Oregon’s offense simply overwhelmed the Cardinal. “When they get touchdowns and you get field goals it becomes a pretty simple game. It’s a game of math and you can’t keep up,” he said. Helfrich cautioned reading too much into the one victory. The season is not over yet. Utah looms. “They’re playing lights out, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” Helfrich said. “(The Ducks have) probably see Utah play as well. They know every week is a huge challenge. You look at some of the scores across the conference. You have to be on point in every phase to get it done.” Oregon will be making its first trip to Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City since Utah joined the Pac-12 three years ago. “We’re going to a very hostile environment against a very good team,” Helfrich said.

Cal spoils Mannion’s record night CORVALLIS (AP) — Oregon State coach Mike Riley blamed the Beavers’ shortcomings against Cal Saturday night on a lack of consistency. Daniel Lasco rushed for a career-high 188 yards and scored on touchdown runs of 14, 21 and 15 yards, pacing a balanced attack that carried the Bears to a 44-31 Pacific12 Conference victory over the Beavers. Jared Goff threw a 10yard touchdown pass to Chris Harper for the goahead score with 8:42 remaining, but the difference in the game was a Cal running attack that finished with a season-high 269 yards on 47 carries. Vic Enwere added six carries for 37 yards and a touchdown to help the Bears (5-4, 4-3 Pac-12) snap a threegame losing streak and move within a game of becoming bowl eligible. “With a team like Cal, it’s never in hand, as we found out,” Riley said. “We did a lot of good things in all the different phases of the game, but we just had too many lapses. “Tonight, it wasn’t because of long situations. Tonight, we just didn’t execute. We dropped balls, ran the wrong routes, we messed it up early like that, in particular in the first half and that is why we were so sporadic.” Cal’s comeback spoiled a record-setting performance for Sean Mannion, who completed 30 of 45 passes for 320 yards and became the Pac12’s all-time passing leader. Mannion, who entered the game needing 194 yards to break former USC quarterback Matt Barkley’s record of 12,327 yard, completed passes to seven different receivers as Oregon State (4-4, 1-4)

Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion passes against California during Saturday’s game.Mannion broke the Pac-12 passing record in the contest. suffered their third consecutive loss. “It’s a big day for Sean and for Oregon State,” Riley said. “The history of the conference is awesome and for Sean to have that record is an unbelievable accomplishment.” The Bears came into game ranked fourth in the nation in passing yards, averaging 371.5 yards a game, but kept Oregon State off balance with a running game that had topped 200 yards only one other time this season, going for 255 against Sacramento State. Lasco was the catalyst, rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns before the end of the second quarter, pacing the Bears to a 2010 halftime lead. “Once they tried to stop Jared, we just had to ground and pound, and that’s what we did,” said Lasco, whose three touchdowns were the most by a Cal back since Shane Vereen had three against Stanford in 2009. Trailing 27-10 in the third quarter, Mannion guided Oregon State on three consecutive touchdown drives, taking a 31-27 lead on Terron Ward’s 16-yard run with 12:02 to play.

After Harper’s touchdown catch, Oregon State’s final comeback bid ended when Caleb Coleman intercepted a Mannion pass at the Beavers’ 29 with 7:48 to play, setting up a 47-yard James Langford field goal. “We’d scored just about every time we had the ball for a bit and then two drives in a row we stalled out,” Riley said. “And that wasn’t the kind of game that you could go with the ebbs and flows like that. You needed to be more consistent, and Cal was more consistent than we were.” Goff completed 24 of 47 passes for 277 yards and was sacked twice. “We did lose momentum and the crowd got involved. I was proud of our guys for just keeping their wits about them and continuing to play hard,” Dykes said. “I think the key, honestly, was that we got a little bit of a pass rush down the stretch.” Arizona State 19, Utah 16, OT: Zane Gonzalez kicked a 36-yard field goal in overtime and No. 15 Arizona State overcame an uneven performance to take control of the Pac-12 South. Utah (6-2, 3-1, No. 17

CFP) had the ball first in overtime and had to call a timeout just before Andy Phillips attempted a 35-yard field goal to avoid a delay penalty. Phillips pushed that attempt wide right and did the same thing when it counted. Arizona State (7-1, 5-1 Pac-12, No. 14 CFP) managed just a couple of yards on its overtime drive, but Gonzalez made his kick count, driving the ball through the uprights to send the Sun Devils charging onto the field. UCLA 17, Arizona 7: Brett Hundley passed for 189 yards and ran for 131 more, and No. 25 UCLA (7-2, 4-2) pulled its season back from the brink with a dominant defensive performance against No. 14 Arizona (6-2, 3-2). Washington 38, Shaq Colorado 23: Thompson rushed for 174 yards, Travis Feeney had a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown and Dante Pettis scored on an 87-yard punt return and Washington (6-3, 2-3) bulldozed the Buffaloes (2-7, 0-6). USC 44, Washington State 17: Cody Kessler threw for 400 yards and five touchdowns and Southern California (6-3, 5-2) beat Washington State (2-7, 1-5). Idaho State 31, Portland State 13: Justin Arias and Xavier Finney account for four touchdowns to lead Idaho State (6-3, 4-1 Big Sky) over Portland State (3-6, 2-3). Arias threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns and Finney rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns. Kasey Closs scored Portland State’s touchdown on a reception from quarterback Keiran McDonagh.

This will not be a Saturday for getting ahead on Christmas shopping or raking leaves in the yard. In the AP Top 25 released Sunday, teams four through 10 have games against another ranked team next weekend. Six games to shake up the playoff race and either provide clarity or cause confusion. Probably a little of both. Mississippi State and Florida State still hold the top two spots in the AP rankings after both needed secondhalf comebacks to remain unbeaten. The top-ranked Bulldogs received 45 firstplace votes from the media panel, and Florida State has 15. Auburn moved up a spot to No. 3 after its 35-31 victory at Mississippi. The Rebels dropped to No. 12 after their second straight heartbreaking loss. Then the teams preparing for games with huge playoff implications: ■ No. 4 Alabama is at No. 14 LSU as the SEC West rivals play yet another huge game. ■ No. 5 Oregon and Heisman Trophy front-runner Marcus Mariota go to No. 20 Utah, trying to keep their roll going in the Pac-12. “They’re playing lights out, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” Helfrich said Sunday about the Utes. ■ No. 6 TCU and its Heisman contender, quarterback Trevone Boykin, host No. 9 Kansas State with first in the Big 12 on the line. ■ No. 7 Michigan State hosts No. 13 Ohio State in the Big Ten game of the year. ■ No. 8 Notre Dame goes to No. 11 Arizona State, looking for a resume-boosting victory. ■ No. 10 Baylor is at No. 16 Oklahoma, with a chance for the Bears to reassert themselves in the Big 12. That’s a lot of stuff for the selection committee to digest. Its next rankings come out this Tuesday. The Ducks have a chance to move into the top four with Ole Miss losing, not that Helfrich will be paying closer attention this week than he did last. “The exact same amount — which is also the amount of hair I’m going to gain,” said Helfrich, who doesn’t have much separating his baseball cap from his scalp.

BOBCATS From Page B1 Myrtle Point blew the second game open scoring nine points in a row, a run that started with a kill by Leslie and included eight straight service points by Miller. As was typical of the match, the offense was spread out. Though Leslie ultimately led the team with 14 kills, Christynn Evans, Nicole Seals, Lyndzi Robbins and even setter Morgan Newton had kills in the second game. “Every time one of my teammates got a kill, I was so happy for them,” Leslie said. By the end of the night, Grace Hermann had 12 kills, Seals 10 and Evans five. Newton had 39 assists. The Bobcats also shined on defense, repelling Oakridge’s attack, either with tips at the net or scrappy digs. Miller hit the floor repeatedly while leading the Bobcats with 20 digs. Leslie had 13, Newton 11 and Hermann nine. Big serving runs also

So who is facing elimination on Showdown Saturday? Don’t assume two losses means elimination. For some teams, yes, but plenty still could be in play with a second loss. Especially those SEC West teams and whichever team wins the Pac-12. The best conferences provide enough spots for standout victories to overcome an extra loss, depending how things break around the country. Already out: Oklahoma (6-2) and LSU (7-2). The problem for the Sooners and Tigers is their previous losses will make it nearly impossible to win their conferences, even if they run the table. It would take some stunning upsets to get them back into contention. Barely still in: Utah (6-2). If the Utes could somehow win the Pac-12, beating Oregon twice along the way, they have a shot. Out with a loss: Notre Dame (7-1), Ohio State (7-1), Michigan State (7-1), Baylor (7-1), TCU (7-1). Hanging on with a loss: Alabama (7-1), Oregon (8-1), Arizona State (7-1) and Kansas State (7-1) all could win their conferences. Looking at the playoff race another way, which teams control their futures? ■ Mississippi State and Alabama. Win out, win the SEC, playoff lock. The Bulldogs and Tide play Nov. 15. ■ Oregon and Arizona State. Same as above for Pac12 teams on path to play each other in the conference title game. ■ Florida State. Just win, Seminoles. You could make a good case for Auburn, too. Even if that loss to Mississippi State keeps the Tigers out of the SEC championship game, a resume with road wins at Kansas State, Ole Miss, Georgia and Alabama would be hard to deny. The only question would be if the committee would give a conference champion from the Big 12 (TCU by also beating K-State?) or Big Ten an edge over the Tigers.

MOVING DOWN Georgia’s surprising 3820 loss to Florida cost the Bulldogs eight spots in the rankings, falling to No. 17. Arizona also took its second loss, 17-7 at UCLA, which dropped the Wildcats seven spots to No. 21.

played a part in giving Myrtle Point momentum in the third and fourth games. Miller had seven straight service points to give the Bobcats a 13-4 lead in Game 2 and Leslie served eight straight points, including two aces, to turn a 12-10 deficit into an 18-12 advantage in the final game. The Bobcats got their last three points with kills by Hermann and Evans and a stuff block by Newton. The players said they weren’t particularly concerned by the slow start Saturday. “I wasn’t worried,” Leslie said. “I believe in my team.” “The first game, we were caught a little off guard,” Miller added. “We were nervous.” The fast start in the second game ended that, and now the Bobcats can look ahead to a match against Grant Union on Friday afternoon at Ridgeview High School in Redmond. “If we just keep our intensity and keep talking and keep from getting our heads down, we will be fine,” Leslie said.

kills and two aces. The Pirates’ goal from the beginning of the year was to win a league title, then make the playoffs, then get a trophy at the state tournament. On to phase three. “We’re (at the tournament) now,” Montiel said. “Now it’s time to move on to the next goal.” Marshfield meets Valley Catholic at 1:15 p.m. Friday in the Class 4A quarterfinals.

Sports Pirates, Bulldogs nab state trophies

Red Devils earn spot in 3A tourney BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

EUGENE — Marshfield’s boys ended a four-decade drought for a team trophy at the state cross country meet last year. They repeated the feat Saturday, earning the third-place trophy in the Class 4A state meet. The girls teams from Siuslaw and North Bend also earned hardware, finishing third and fourth, respectively. Marshfield’s Colby Gillett and Sawyer Heckard both finished in the top 10 to lead the Pirates, who scored 118 points, finishing behind Valley Catholic and Phoenix in the team race. “I’m happy we got third,” said Heckard, who was 10th individually. “We wanted to move up.” T h e P i ra te s w e r e fourth a year ago, their first More online: trophy See the gallery at since the theworldlink.com. 1960s. Gillett finished fifth, nearly catching Siuslaw’s Seth Campbell at the finish line. “It was by far the best way I could finish out my senior year,” Gillett said. Jakob Hiett of Sweet Home won the 5,000-meter race in 16 minutes and 4 seconds. Campbell was timed in 16:22 and Gillett in 16:23. Heckard crossed the line in 16:36. “I didn’t think I was going to make (top-10),” he said. Dakota Pittullo was 20th for Marshfield, while Ian Emlet was 43rd, Cody Harkins 64th and John Hampton 67th.

Marshfield’s boys pose with their third-place trophy at the state meet Saturday. Siuslaw’s boys finished sixth. Campbell had a nice finish to a season that has been hampered by a back injury. “I would have liked to get the win,” he said. “I didn’t have it today and they did.” Michael Brown, North Bend’s only runner in the race, was 16th, one spot in front of Brookings-Harbor’s Chris Burton as the Far West League had six of the top 20 finishers. In the girls race, Siuslaw’s Celie Mans was fourth to lead the Vikings to third place as a team, just three points in front of North Bend. Henley’s Lexi Healy won the individual title in 18:58. Mans was timed in 19:15. “I was injured all summer and I wasn’t able to run,” she said. “I’m overall happy with how it went.” Sierra Potter placed 18th overall for the Vikings, while Kennedy Pendergrass was 29th, Elizabeth Wartnik 33rd and Mikaela Siegel 49th. North Bend was led by Gabby Hobson, who finished just off the medal podium in 11th place, less than a second behind Philomath‘s Meaghan Alba. The team trophy took away the frustration of the individual finish, she said. “I think it’s awesome that our team did really well,” she said. “Everyone pulled through.” Sam Shook had a career day, placing 23rd for the

It was the first time Shook has beaten Finnigan, a fellow sophomore. “She was crazy fast,” said Finnigan, who had a strong race of her own. “My goal was to keep up with Hailey,” Shook said. “I wanted to do well so the team could get a trophy.” Phoenix ran away with the team title with 57 points. Molalla had 106, Siuslaw 112 and North Bend 115. In the bigger school races, Summit swept the Class 5A titles again. In the boys race, the Storm’s sixth runner placed

ninth and individual champion Matthew Maton ran a blazing time of 14:45, breaking the course record held by Galen Rupp. The Summit girls placed five runners in the top 10 to score 26 points, led by individual champion Olivia Brooks, who finished in 18:10. South Eugene won the Class 6A girls title, beating Sunset in a race decided by the sixth runner after both teams scored 66 points. Grant’s Ella Donaghu won the individual title in 17:51. Central Catholic won the Class 6A boys title, while South Eugene’s Reilly Bloomer was individual champion in 15:33.

COQUILLE — The Coquille volleyball team emphatically punched its ticket to the Class 3A state tournament, sweeping visiting Catlin Gabel 25-14, 25-15, 26-24 on Saturday. “I’m speechless,” said Coquille’s Darian Wilson, who had a big match at the net for the Red Devils. Coquille will face a familiar foe, Mountain Valley Conference champion Creswell, in the quarterfinals at Lane Community College on Friday morning. The Bulldogs pounded the Red Devils last Monday, but Coquille rebounded with one of its best matches of the season against the Eagles. “The game was amazing,” Wilson said. “We had good defense. We were more vocal.” The team had several good practices after the Creswell match, and carried that work over to Saturday’s match, sophomore Tara Edwards said. “We played as a team,” she said. “We brought each other up.” Coquille played great the first two games, and then overcame a slow start to also beat the Eagles in the third. Catlin Gabel led 13-9 before Coquille scored eight straight points, starting with a kill by McKenna Wilson and followed by seven straight service points from Darian Wilson. Trisha Ray had a stuff block and a kill and

McKenna Wilson added another kill in the stretch. The Eagles battled back and actually led 23-22 when Esabella Mahlum had a kill for Coquille. McKenna Wilson scored the Red Devils’ final three points with kills, the last one sparking a celebration for the players and fans. “I’m happy for them,” said Coquille coach Dondi Howard, adding that the impact of the result “hasn’t sunk in yet.” The Red Devils worked during the week on team defense, spot serving and attacking, and shined in all three areas against the Eagles, Howard said. “They definitely played together tonight,” she said. Mahlum led a balanced offensive attack with 12 kills. McKenna Wilson added 11, Ray eight and Edwards and Darian Wilson four each. Libero Jessica Hall also had two kills to go with a teambest 16 digs. McKenna Wilson had three aces, Ray had a pair of stuff blocks and Bayli Waddington had 24 assists. Now Coquille again plays a Creswell team that twice swept the Red Devils during the regular season. After their good week of practice and big win Friday, the Red Devils will enter that match on a high note. “It’s hard to beat a team three times in a row,” Edwards said. “We didn’t play well (Monday) and we improved this week. I’m excited.” Bandon junior said. Gold Beach’s Avi Gaston also earned a medal, finishing ninth. Coquille’s Anna Sweeney was 34th. In the Class 3A-2A-1A boys race, Hunter Hutton, Sailor’s twin brother, was 23rd to lead the Tigers to sixth place. Catlin Gabel won the team title with 51 points. Union, Riverdale and Chemawa took the other trophies. Pacific placed 13th.

Raymond Teller wrote in a letter, “We did not start as friends, but as people who respected and admired each other. Crucial, absolutely crucial for a partnership.” He was talking about Penn Jillette and himself, but he could have been discussing bridge players. In particular, it is important to trust your partner’s cards when you are on defense. How should East-West card to defeat three spades? What do you think of the auction? In the bidding, South sensibly

overcalled one spade. (A few players would have intervened with one notrump to describe their hand strength. It is much better to look for a spade fit first and keep no-trump on the back burner.) Over one spade, West should have made a negative double to show his minor-suit length.When he passed, North made a pre-emptive jump raise to show four-card support and a weak hand. (With at least game-invitational values, North would have cue-bid two hearts.) South was tempted to bid higher, but with those potentially useless diamond honors, he wisely passed. Against three spades, West led his heart. East wasn’t sure that it was a singleton, but just in case, she won with her ace and returned the queen, her highest heart being a suitpreference signal for diamonds, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits. West ruffed away declarer’s heart king and shifted to his diamond five, low guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit. East won with her ace and cashed the heart jack, West discarding the club two. Now East returned a diamond to defeat the contract, although a fourth heart would have worked also.
