SCCF rounds out board of directors

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — The South Coast Community Foundation has picked the final three candidates to round out its seven-member board.

SCCF’s four current board members — John Sweet, Terence O’Connor, Brianna Hanson and Tom Leahy — chose Keith Tymchuk, Al Pettit and Andy Combs for the three at-large seats at their Wednesday meeting.

Now, SCCF’s four member enti-

ties — Coos County, Oregon International Port of Coos Bay and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend — have to approve the three candidates.

Tymchuk is ending his sixth term as mayor of Reedsport, and brings 30 years of experience teaching social studies in Reedsport. The foundation is proposed to receive community service fee payments from Jordan Cove, some of which will be dispersed to Coos County school districts, as well as Reedsport and

Port Orford-Langlois school districts.

Pettit also has a write-in campaign pending for a vacant Coos Bay City Council seat. He owns Harley-Davidson in Coos Bay and previously worked for Apple, Digital Island, SealedMedia and Citrix Systems.

Combs is a south Coos County native, growing up in the small town of Dora. Today, he’s an attorney for Whitty, McDaniel, Bodkin & Combs in Coos Bay. The SCCF board has held off

making major financial decisions until it has a full board, including how much of its chunk of Jordan Cove’s community service fees will be allocated, how much will be endowed and a formula for distributing funds to area school districts.

At the board’s Oct. 22 meeting, Coos Bay schools superintendent Dawn Granger asked the board to consider school districts’ limited resources when it comes to grant writing.

“We’re often asked to write competitive grants and we don’t

have the people to do it,” Granger said. “The projects are more important than the grant.”

Myrtle Point schools superintendent Bruce Shull echoed her concerns, saying when schools apply to the Oregon Department of Education for competitive grants, “it’s more about the language, grammar and font.”

SCCF shouldn’t be in the grant business, SCCF members have said this fall. That would effectively SEE SCCF | A8

COOS BAY — After 14 years of searching for a place to build a new facility, the Pacific Cove Humane Society will get its chance with the Coos Bay City Council narrowly approving a change in zoning for its property.

Following the lead of the planning commission, the city council approved the change from a QR-4P residential property to a C-2 commercial property by a 3-2 vote.

Councilors Tom Leahy, Stephanie Kramer and Mike Vaughan supported the change with Mayor Crystal Shoji and councilor Brian Bowers voting against. Jennifer Groth recused herself because she had signed a petition in favor of rezoning the

PORTLAND — The entrepreneurs who see green in Oregon’s newest law aren’t dreaming of sticky marijuana buds. They’re seeing dollars.

Voters legalized recreational pot on Tuesday, a year after the Legislature permitted medical marijuana dispensaries in the state. The new law will open an even bigger market of recreational users.

At the Portland dispensary Shango, owner Shane McKee plans to apply for licenses to grow, test and sell marijuana — all separate roles in the new system.

The Coos Bay City Council approved rezoning a residential property at 3485 Vine Ave. in Coos Bay to a commercial property, which opens the door for the Pacific Cove Humane Society to locate there.

On a rainy day with not too many people in John Topits Park recently, several gulls took the down time for a wash day. They splashed around Middle Empire Lake to get their feathers clean.

property.

The change in zoning designation was necessary for the organization to offer kennel services on its property.

As part of the approval process, the animal shelter had to meet additional requirements in order to meet concerns voiced by local residents and members of the planning commission.

In order to lower the amount of animal traffic and noise, the planning commission voted to limit the shelter’s number of dogs to 50 at one time.

Kate Sharples, president of the Pacific Cove Humane Society, said the animal traffic level would be much less because the planning commission determined that number by setting a maximum of two dogs per kennel.

While the facility will house 24 kennels and two isolation kennels, two dogs would be placed in the same kennel if they were small.

“Unless we have 50 Chihuahuas, I don’t think we’ll ever have 50 dogs,” Sharples said.

Sharples said the facility will also utilize Open Paw training, which will train dogs not to bark when someone stands in front of their kennel, in addition to making the animals more adoptable and ready to go to a new home in a shorter period of time.

Along with limiting the number of dogs, the organization has also been looking at material to shield the neighborhood from sound.

COOS BAY — After much deliberation, Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2 will go forward as planned, much to the dismay of local residents who will have to live next to the new plant.

The Coos Bay City Council elected Tuesday not to make any additional changes to the design of the new facility.

The council was given three new design options to choose from after hearing public testimony regarding the impact of the current designs on residents in the vicinity of the plant site.

The new options added a more cultural motif, including options similar to the structures on the boardwalk, historical commercial buildings and a lighthouse design.

COOS BAY — A Bureau of Land Management worker was killed Tuesday after a tree fell on the vehicle she was driving.

Authorities identified the victim as 55-year-old Estella Morgan, of Coos Bay. At about noon on Tuesday, Coos County emergency responders received a call that a fallen tree had struck a vehicle with a woman inside it on a BLM road in the Blue Ridge area of Coos Bay. Coos County Sheriff’s Deputies, Sumner Fire First Responders and Bay Cities Ambulance responded.

Morgan was unresponsive but breathing, but by the time medical service personnel arrived, she died.

Authorities said Morgan was conducting field work in the Blue Ridge area. She had arrived at an active logging operation in the area when a tree that had just been cut fell on the Ford Explorer she was driving, crushing the driver’s area of the vehicle. Her husband is Coos County forester Lance Morgan.

An investigation is being conducted.

They inspect every ballot before it comes to the machine to try to find all the erroneous markings and they duplicate ballots when they find markings that the tally machine won’t read as the voter intended.”

They also have to count all the write-ins, most importantly for the fourth vacant Coos Bay City Council seat. Fred Brick, Al Pettit and Katherine Flores launched write-in campaigns for that position.

Then election workers have to go through all the ballots the tally machine couldn’t read: the machine jammed, a ballot was torn, a ballot needs to be duplicated, a voter wrote something erroneous on the ballot, etc.

“We push a button that puts a sort on so it stops when it reads something that’s questionable,” she said. “The voter might have rested their pen on that barcode on the side, or written a grocery list on the side or rested their pen on an oval that puts a mark on that oval. Any overvote like that gets stopped and it’s looked at by the election board.”

Turi dubs this “election cleanup.” The election board — workers the elections office hires specifically for an election — sorts through every individual ballot.

It’s true! In 1598, ten years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, it was noted that Elizabeth I suffered from terrible toothaches, and the remaining teeth she had were black. The cause seemed to be her excessive use of sugar, which was a common problem among all of the British aristocracy in that day.

Opinion theworldlink.com/news/opinion

Discourse without the rancor Our view The John Sweet— Don Gurney county commissioner campaign was a good example of how political differences needn’t translate into meanness.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Whether your candidate or your cause won or lost in Tuesday’s general election, we can all find one bright spot in what was a long and oftentimes contentious campaign season.

Too often, political campaigns start to resemble the kinds of mean-spirited sniping that adults observe among adolescents. We all know that kids can be awfully mean to each other at times, but the maturation process is supposed to temper those baser, brain-stem-driven instincts.

Goodness knows, then, what happens when adults run for political office. All that growing up seems to go out the window, and the

brain stem reawakens.

So, here’s the bright spot.

As a winner became clear in the Coos County commissioner race Tuesday evening, incumbent John Sweet, watching results in Coos Bay, said this about his main challenger Don Gurney: “Both Don and I have a great deal of respect for each other. We differed on the issues, but we do so in a respectful manner.”

At about the same time, Mr. Gurney, in Coquille, said this: “This has been a real refreshing race because we stuck to issues and felt good about it, and so that’s kind of the important part. We both had some really good supporters.”

And that’s exactly how they behaved toward each other throughout their campaigns.

Mr. Sweet and Mr. Gurney agreed on some issues but disagreed on many more important economic ones.

How will the county generate more revenue and cut costs? What role does government play to help build the economy? The answers are different — and can be diametrically opposed — depending on your overall political philosophies. One can genuinely see opposing views as incorrect, even counterproductive.

But disagreeing over ideas doesn’t mean we need to become disagreeable. Just

because you think someone is wrong doesn’t necessarily mean there is something wrong with him or her as a human being.

In our minds, that should be the essence of political discourse. It’s called respect.

Were this the political behavior at the national level, perhaps voters would see a more productive Congress.

Instead of acting like small, bitter, nasty little people, we’d all benefit by following the example of Mr. Sweet and Mr. Gurney.

Congratulations, gentlemen. Thanks for a bright spot in this political season.

The devil in the details The first sign something was going very wrong at Nordstrom was the couple running up the down escalator. They were the herald to avoid the man with the rifle just below. It was at that moment that the gunshot-like sounds we had just heard made sense, and a long night began for what would seem like every law-enforcement agent in New Jersey.

That first Monday in November last year ended in the earlyhoursof Tuesday,when 20year-old Richard Shoop was found in a remote part of the Garden State Plaza with a self-inflicted gunshot to his head.

I think of him often, not just because I had been just a few yards away from him that night, but because the agony he must have been living through was not his alone.

Richard Shoop was battling some demon, whether it was clinical depression or the dark choices we can so often hellishly settle for when the lights of faith, hope and love have all seemed to fade.

As October 2014 wrapped up, Pope Francis talked about the devil.

That’s not because he was getting into Halloween, but because the first reading designated for Masses KATHRYN on Oct. 30 was from St. LOPEZ Paul to the Ephesians, urgColumnist ing that we put on the full spiritual armor of God for the power to resist temptation.

During his morning homily, the Pope said: “Life is a military endeavor. Christian life is a battle, a beautiful battle, because when God emerges victorious in every step of our life,this gives us joy, a great happiness: the joy that the Lord is the victor within us,with his free gift of salvation. But we’re all a bit lazy, aren’t we, in this battle and we allow ourselves to get carried away by our passions, by various temptations. That’s because we’re sinners, all of us! But don’t get discouraged.Have courage and strength because the Lord is with us.”

The headline on the Vatican’s news page Thursday summed it up: “Pope: Christian life is a continuous battle against the devil.” Pope Francis talks about mercy and joy, but he also talks about the devil. This matters because the devil is in the details of so many of our most contentious debates. Acknowledging that would help us see clearer and make progress.

As a moral shepherd in confusing times, he is trying to get us to go deeper, to see the full context of our lives.

Even as another scurrilous election season brings claims that seeking to protect innocent human life and religious liberty is akin to waging a “war on women,” real oppression exists. As a nation and a culture, we settle for evils that poison our interactions, our policies and our ability to lead with optimism. And so when we see evil, we look away, seek to explain it away, or pretend that we can legislate it away. Law is a teacher, but it needs students who see the Source of the law, too.

Media doesn’t only miss the point on matters of faith when it comes to reporting on Pope Francis. Asked about the recent Synod of Bishops on the Family, Philadelphia’s Archbishop Charles Chaput said, “I think confusion is of the devil, and I think the public image that came across was of confusion.”

That was reported as Chaput having blasted the synod as being of the devil. Oy. The devil is in the distractions,in the indifference they breed and the way they keep us from being on guard for evil in our midst in even the most subtle and mundane ways. The examined life helps us see clearer what’s happening,not just when faced with a man with a rifle in a mall, but before he ever gets to that point, so that we might help him confront the damned devil head-on. The more people on guard,the lesslost weare.Seeing what is right before our eyes helps us with diagnosis, prescription,healing and prevention.The road to hell, meanwhile, is paved with indifference and euphemistic delusions, distractions and discouragement.

Letters to the Editor Waterworks needs watching Should it concern Powers residents that $380,280 of the wastewater system upgrade budget is under the title “URA & Easement Acquisition Services?” These are “permanent easements” ($380,280 divided by the 357 proposed grinder pump installations is $1,065.21).

Should it concern Powers residents that the Powers City Council is entertaining the idea of installing these grinder pumps on personal property, mostly within 10 feet of our residences? Or that the absence of alleys on the north side of town means that most of these grinder pumps will be placed in front yards?

Should the City Council inform the residents that these grinder pumps will not function when the electricity is off? A townwide power outage could turn into what is called by emergency management personnel “a secondary disaster?”

Should anyone living in Powers city limits bother to find out where the city’s engineering firm has plotted the location of their “personal” grinder pump and its alarm system?

Residents may want to know that a grinder pump system was not the only alternative that the City Council was given by their engineering firm that meets the requirement of the Department of Environmental Quality.

Example: Companies that can line wastewater collection systems without digging them up are who many cities hire to

repair their wastewater collection systems.

Yes, indeed rainwater is getting into the sewer lines and overwhelming the wastewater plant’s ability to do its work properly. And even without rainwater intrusion, the plant needs a real “facelift.”

Everyone (grown-ups and children) in the city of Powers can help find ways to keep the storm water out of the sewer lines.

If under the house plumbing has problems, there are funding choices for fixing it for the individual property owner.

Yes, it should concern Powers residents, but does it?

If is does, please let the Powers City Council know that injecting 357 grinder pumps into our town is not the best alternative for the future of Powers. It is

not too late to go back to the engineer’s drawing board and choose a conventional design with lower long-term costs.

The Powers City Council knows how this can be achieved.

Ask them to show us that they care about our town.

Time for judgement on Afghanistan In the summer of 2009, U.S. Marines pushed into Afghanistan’s Helmand province to begin the new offensive that President Obama had ordered based on the model of the President Bush’s Iraq strategy of nation-building and counterinsurgency (COIN). This fall, a little over five years later, U.S. Marines turned over their last base in Helmand to Afghan forces and, except for a residual force, left the country.

And? Maybe a crescendo in background noise, but not much else.

Surely,after 13 years of war,it’s not too soon for a public reckoning.

Then again, maybe it’s too late.

Maybe Americans have forgotten the fiasco of vision, strategy and tactics that civilian and military leaders forced onto the backs of U.S. service members. If so, it’s worth returning to those early days of this war’s final phase.

It started with that childish, lethal idea — COIN. The U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) would fight to make the Islamic tribespeople of Afghanistan like us more than they liked the Islamic tribespeople of the Taliban. Then, according to COIN-plan, Western forces would transfer this fought-over affection of the Afghan people to the Kabul government that the West was simultaneously building

and propping up. Presto — COIN victory.

Grown men gushed at the prospect.

“Victory in this conflict is about winning the and DIANA hearts minds of the WEST Afghan people and engender- Columnist ing their trust,” Air Force Brig. Gen. Steven L. Kwast said in 2009. “When the Afghan people trust us and believe us when we tell them what we’re going to do, we will win this overnight.”

COIN’s fight for Afghan “hearts and minds” meant pandering was the order of the day.

COIN also meant commanders ordered their troops into proximity and even intimacy with the local population — the menfolk, anyway, pederasts, polygamists and misogynists by culture and religion, and, all too often, jihadists. This was “populationcentric COIN,” as executed by President Obama’s new ISAF commander, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal. It is a doctrine that values (Afghan) population protection over (U.S.) force protection — but don’t worry, it’s all for the good of the “long-term” cause. In the “short term,” COIN

commanders set highly restrictive “rules of engagement” to enforce the doctrine, undoubtedly leading to innumerable U.S. casualties.

And how’s that long-term cause doing?

As even McChrystal would say about COIN in 2010, as reported in Rolling Stone: “This is the philosophical part that works with think tanks.But it doesn’t get the same reception from infantry companies.”

That’s because infantry companies deal with bullets, not PowerPoint. “I understand the reason behind it, but it’s so hard to fight a war like this,” Lance Corporal Travis Anderson told The Associated Press in 2010.

“They’re using our rules of engagement against us,” he said, adding that his platoon had repeatedly seen men dropping their guns into ditches before disappearing among civilians.

COIN was also very much about stuff — “baksheesh,” or bribes — on a massive scale.

“What do you need here?” The New York Times reported McChrystal asked locals for some two hours on a walk-through in a Helmand town in 2010. Schools.

Security.

Hospitals.

Roads.

“Inshallah, we will provide the services as soon as possible,” Time reported the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen saying in 2010, taking

orders at a shura in Helmand.

But Afghans still didn’t like us or trust us. Cultural chasm between Islam and the West, anyone? Nope, not enough COIN, U.S. commanders concluded.

When Gen. David Petraeus became ISAF commander in 2010, he issued a fresh, new COIN guidance that included: “Walk. Stop by, don’t drive by. Patrol on foot whenever possible and engage the population.”

Foot patrols on IED-laced roads made COIN horrifically costly. In June 2011, the U.S. Army reported on a new pattern of injury — “dismounted complex blast injury” — and defined it thus: “An injury caused by an explosion occurring to a service member while dismounted in a combat theater that results in amputation of at least one lower extremity at the knee or above, with either amputation or severe injury to the opposite lower limb, combined with pelvic, abdominal or urogenital injury.”

The final line may be most chilling of all: “This definition is not meant to define a subset of injuries for policy-making decisions.” Heavens, no. Keep reality from all policy-making decisions, or COIN will self-destruct, along with the reputations of its enforcers.

Exactly why a public reckoning is essential.

State Dinner-table bully may be victim of low blood sugar DE A R A BB Y : In reference to “It’s All Good, Until ...” (Aug. 1), the woman whose otherwise easygoing husband turns hypercritical every evening at dinner, he may have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or be prediabetic as my husband is.

My story is the same as hers. My husband is eventempered and a great partner — until his sugar gets low. Then he turns from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde.

My advice to her is to have a d o c t o r DEAR check her husband for those issues. In the meantime, he might start having an a f te r n o o n protein snack so JEANNE his sugar PHILLIPS d o e s n ’ t drop by dinner if that is, in fact, the problem.

Peanut butter crackers are excellent. — SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IN KNOXVILLE, TENN. DE A R S OM EO NE : Thank you for the headsup. Dozens of readers offered similar opinions about the husband’s behavior, including a registered nurse who wrote: “What’s happening may be that his blood sugar or glucose is getting too low at that time and causing personality changes. ...

This time of day is crucial for people with either diabetes or other insulin problems. Please suggest her husband see a doctor to have this checked.”

DE A R A B BY : “Ingrid” and I have been dating for a couple of months. We’re in our early 50s and both of us have been married before. We get along fine and our relationship is proceeding slowly, but appropriately.

My problem is, when we talk on the phone we don’t really have a conversation.

Ingrid will talk without interruption, sometimes for five minutes at a time. I can’t get a word in. I can put the phone down and come back and she’ll still be talking. It’s not quite that bad in person, although she’s still quite a talker. Often, she’ll ask me a question, then interrupt me when I try to answer. It really bugs me.

It has reached a point that I don’t want to talk to her on the phone. The calls can last 30 minutes or more, and I get bored and irritated. How do I address this with her without hurting her feelings or affecting our relationship?

She’s starting to feel my reluctance to call her back.

— GETTING AN EARFUL IN ARIZONA DE A R G E TT I NG A N E AR FUL : If Ingrid is starting to feel your reluctance to return her calls, I’m guessing she has found a way to let you know. This is your opening for a truth session with your lady friend in which you explain how those phone monologues — notice I didn’t say “conversations” — make you feel.

What she’s doing is rude. The cause may be nervousness, thoughtlessness, or that she’s a compulsive talker. If she cares about you, she will want to know if she’s doing something that’s making you back away.

Being honest with her is the only way to get this fixed, if the problem IS fixable. At your ages, lifelong habits may not be easy to break.

70 percent of Oregon voters cast ballots STATE PORTLAND (AP) — Just under 70 percent of Oregonians cast a ballot in Tuesday’s election.

The Oregon secretary of state’s office says 1.5 million ballots were turned in.

Turnout ranged from a high of 81 percent in Lake County in Southern Oregon to a low of 61 percent in Umatilla County in Eastern Oregon.

The two largest counties, Multnomah and Washington, both had turnout of 67 percent. It was slightly higher in the next largest counties, Clackamas, Lane, Marion and Jackson.

The statewide figure is in line with those from midterm elections in recent decades.

Bad first date Woman takes man’s wallet WILSONVILLE (AP) — Oregon police agree it was a bad first date.

They say a 23-year-old man had his first face-toface meeting Monday night with a woman he met on the

Internet. She hopped into his vehicle at a drive-through restaurant in Wilsonville, south of Portland, and suggested he buy her a milkshake.

Sgt. Dan Kraus says the man got two $1 bills in change and left his wallet on the center console. Kraus says the woman grabbed the wallet and ran off.

The Oregonian reports the man called 911 and provided the woman’s cellphone number, which officers called to arrange another rendezvous with the woman at the same restaurant.

They spotted the woman’s van early Tuesday, arrested her and recovered the wallet with the two $1 bills still inside.

Police hunt man in attempted abduction ROGUE RIVER (AP) — Police in the southern Oregon city of Rogue River are looking for a man accused of choking a

the woman into his house and chased off her pursuer before calling police.

D I G E S T woman, trying to drag her into a car, then chasing her as she fled screaming in the early morning darkness.

The Medford Mail Tribune reports that Rogue River police Chief Ken Lewis says 32-year-old Jarrod Garwood is sought for investigation of kidnapping, assault and strangulation allegations.

Lewis says Garwood was just released from jail when he received word that his 21year-old girlfriend was with another man. The police chief says Garwood went to the man’s house early Tuesday morning, barged in and found the woman hiding naked in a closet. Police say Garwood pulled the woman outside to a car but she escaped and ran off screaming for help.

Uncle: Mom of boy found dead got care GRANTS PASS (AP) — An uncle of a 6-year-old autistic boy found dead after his mother told police she threw him from a bridge on the Oregon Coast says the woman had been under intense emotional distress for years while caring for the child and more recently for her disabled husband.

Andy McCabe said Wednesday that Jillian McCabe seemed better after completing 30 days of inpatient psychiatric care last winter.

He says the family struggled financially after his brother, Matt McCabe, could no longer work.

The body of London McCabe was found Monday hours after his mother phoned 911 and said she had thrown him from the

Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport.

She has not entered pleas to charges of aggravated murder, murder and manslaughter.

Josephine County sheriff defeated GRANTS PASS (AP) — The sheriff of Josephine County has been turned out by voters after struggling to keep the jail open and rural patrols on the road while federal timber revenues that once sustained them dwindled.

Sheriff Gil Gilbertson had also been active in a group of rural sheriffs who questioned the federal government’s authority to control guns and federal lands. He was handily defeated Tuesday by Dave Daniel, a Grants Pass policeman and former state trooper who promised change in a county where voters have repeatedly refused to raise taxes to pay for law enforcement.

Carol Tanner Jan. 19, 1928 - Oct. 27, 2014

Carol was born Jan. 19, 1928, to Arch and Edith Easter. Her early years were spent on the family farm in Gridley, Ka., where she learned the values of family, strength, thrift and respect for the Earth and all things upon it.

After high school, Carol joined the Cadet Nurse Program at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka, Ka. She went on to complete a fourmonth course in obstetric nursing in Jersey City, N.J., and returned to St. Francis as an instructor and supervisor in obstetrics.

In 1950 she entered the U.S. Air Force, receiving her commission at Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. She went to Minneapolis, Minn., to receive her training in anesthesiology and began her career as a certified nurse anesthetist. She was promoted to first lieutenant and was stationed at Ladd Air Force Base in the territory of Alaska. There she met a dashing U.S. Army officer named Herbert Tanner.

Carol retired her commission and they were married Nov. 6, 1954. Carol was awarded the National Defense Service Medal in honor of her service to her country.

As an officer’s wife and working mother, Carol moved the family as her husband’s postings changed.

The family lived in far-flung places, from Monroe, Mich., to Giessen, Germany. When her husband served a tour of duty in Vietnam she and the family lived in Albuquerque, N.M. After her husband’s retirement from the Army, they began looking for a new home. Ft. Lewis, Wash., was a favorite posting, where she fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. The family decided to move to Coos Bay after a short job search. Carol and her two youngest sons moved first while her husband stayed in New Mexico until the oldest son’s graduation from high school.

Carol was a working mother long before such things were fashionable. She served as a nurse anesthetist at the old McAuley Hospital, and later at the hospital in Bandon. In 1982, she served

as president of the Oregon Association of Nurse Anesthetists.

She expressed her love of nature through her gardening. Her house on a busy corner in Coos Bay was always alive with flowers and trees. Much to the consternation of her sons, she extended her gardening to highway rights of way that were not maintained by the state, in effect volunteering her time, treasure, and expertise to make life more beautiful for all. Her spirit of volunteerism continued well into her later years, volunteering for South Coast Hospice and helping to monitor blood pressures for older residents. Carol had a restless and inquisitive mind, exploring Chinese alternative medicine and hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Her license plate “Let Go” was a regular fixture on Coos Bay streets as she drove to her volunteer activities.

Carol was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 57 years, Herbert; her parents, Archie and Edith Easter; her brothers, Dale Easter and Gary Easter; and sisters, Mildred Easter Eastman, Phyllis Easter McDiffit, and Irvil Jean Easter Grenier.

Carol is survived by her three sons and daughtersin-law, Michael and Colleen (Voget) Tanner of Beaverton, Douglas and Lori (Armacost) Tanner of North Bend, and Herbert R. Tanner Jr. and Stacey A. O’Toole of Greenville, Mich.; five Jeremy grandchildren, Tanner of Beaverton, Ameara Catherine Tanner of Portland, Charles Tanner of Los Angeles, Calif., Tristan Tanner and Dylan Tanner of Greenville.

In keeping with her wishes, there will be no formal memorial service.

Memorial contributions to celebrate her life can be sent to South Coast Hospice & Palliative Care Services Inc., 1620 Thompson Road, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131.

The parade’s theme is “Honoring Veterans, Past

Tim Sapp is helping to

be contacted at 541-9998230.

“Many Americans mistakenly believe that Veterans Day is the day America sets aside to honor American military personnel who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in combat,” Sapp wrote in a letter to The Umpqua Post. “That’s not quite true. Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor America’s war dead.

“Veterans Day, on the other hand, honors all American veterans, both living and dead. Veterans Day is largely intended to thank living veterans for dedicated and loyal service to their country. Nov. 11 of each year is the day that we acknowledge the sacrifices made by those currently serving and those who have served to keep our country free.”

A parade will also be held in Roseburg on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

The 2014 Douglas County Veterans Day Parade will begin at 11 a.m. in downtown Roseburg.

Grand marshals are Desert Shield/Desert Storm veterans.

NATIONAL Abducted woman’s fight helped save life D I G E S T More crowded airports this Thanksgiving If you’re flying somewhere for Thanksgiving, expect planes and airports to be even more crowded this year.

U.S. airlines expect to carry 24.6 million passengers over the 12 days surrounding Thanksgiving, up 1.5 percent from last year.

The worst day: The Sunday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 30, with 2.6 million people flying on U.S. airlines.

The forecast comes from Airlines for America, a trade group representing the biggest U.S. carriers. It covers Friday, Nov. 21 through Tuesday, Dec. 2.

The group’s chief economist said Thursday that rising personal incomes and job growth are helping boost demand for travel.

Rare Steinbeck WWII story finally published NEW YORK (AP) — In July 1944, Orson Welles wrapped up one of his wartime radio broadcasts with a brief, emotional reading of one of the country’s favorite authors, John Steinbeck.

The piece was titled “With Your Wings,” an inspirational story about a black pilot that Steinbeck wrote for Welles’ program, and it seemed to disappear almost as soon as it was aired. There are no records of “With Your Wings” appearing in book or magazine form.

Even some Steinbeck experts, including scholar Susan Shillinglaw and antiquarian James Dourgarian, know little about it.

“It doesn’t ring a bell at all,” said Dourgarian, who specializes in selling first editions of Steinbeck’s work.

“And that’s saying something if I haven’t heard of it. It’s also surprising because you would think that anything Steinbeck was involved with would be printed some place.”

Accomplice in rape, death up for parole CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A woman who admitted she lured a University of New Hampshire student to her apartment as a sex offering for her domineering boyfriend and then helped dispose of the woman’s body after he killed and raped her could be paroled following a hearing.

Kathryn McDonough, now 21, was sentenced in July 2013 to 11⁄2 to three years in prison for lying to police after Seth Mazzaglia strangled and raped 19-year-old Elizabeth “Lizzi” Marriott, of Westborough, Massachusetts, at the couple’s Dover apartment in Oct. 2012.

McDonough told jurors that Mazzaglia, 32, was angry at her when she left him home for two nearly weeks without a sex partner and demanded that she bring him another woman to join in their sexual escapades, which included bondage and discipline. When Marriott twice rejected his sexual advances, Mazzaglia strangled her and raped her lifeless body. The couple dumped her body off Portsmouth’s Peirce Island.

It has not been recovered.

Prosecutor eyed for US attorney general NEW YORK (AP) — She’s an under-the-radar contender to become the first black woman to head the Justice Department.

Loretta Lynch rarely holds news conferences, does interviews or gives speeches in her current job as U.S. attorney in Brooklyn. But the lack of a paper trail on Lynch hasn’t kept her from emerging in recent weeks as one of only a handful of people still under consideration by the White House to replace the outgoing Eric Holder as attorney general.

The buzz over the 55-yearold Harvard Law School graduate was apparent as she sat next to Holder for his appearance at a ceremony last week in Brooklyn highlighting efforts to divert low-level offenders into drug rehab and job diversion programs, one of the attorney general’s pet causes. In her introduction of Holder before an audience that included U.S. Attorney Prett Bharara of Manhattan — considered another attorney general contender — a judge made clear who she favors for the job.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An abducted woman’s fighting spirit likely helped keep her alive until law enforcement agents rescued her and arrested her alleged captor, Philadelphia’s police commissioner said Thursday.

“My understanding is, even after she was in the car and bound, she continued to struggle with this guy,” Charles Ramsey told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday. “She’s got a lot of fight in her.”

Ramsey said 22-year-old Carlesha Freeland-Gaither is resting at home in Philadelphia after her threeday ordeal.

Carlesha FreelandGaither’s relieved relatives said they brought her back to her mother’s home in the city after reuniting late Wednesday at a Maryland hospital.

Police say FreelandGaither, who disappeared Sunday night, had some injuries but was generally doing OK. Ramsey says detectives are giving her time to settle down before completing interviews.

Law enforcement agents rescued her Wednesday outside Baltimore and arrested suspect Delvin Barnes.

Barnes was being held

The Associated Press

Family members surround Keisha Gaither, second from left, mother of kidnapping victim Carlesha FreelandGaither, as they celebrate following a news conference in Philadelphia on Wednesday, where investigators announced the woman seen on a surveillance video being abducted by a man off a Philadelphia street has been found safe outside Baltimore.

Thursday at the jail in suburban Baltimore County, said Scott Shellenberger, the state’s attorney for the county.

He is scheduled to have a hearing in suburban Baltimore on Thursday afternoon on a charge of being a fugitive from justice in Virginia, according to Shellenberger and online court records. Authorities there said he is wanted in connection with attempted

capital murder, assault and malicious injury with acid, explosives or fire.

Authorities said the 37year-old Barnes would face federal charges in the Philadelphia abduction.

Law enforcement agents spotted Freeland-Gaither and Barnes in a car with a broken-out back window in Jessup, Maryland. They arrested Barnes after he stepped out of the car.

Keisha Gaither, who a day earlier had sobbed as she pleaded for the safe return of her kidnapped daughter, was smiling as she stood before the microphone at a Philadelphia news conference Wednesday evening.

“I’m taking my baby home. Thank you. Thank you so much,” she said as authorities announced the nursing assistant’s rescue and the arrest of the suspect.

Feeding the homeless: Act of charity or a crime?

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Despite being charged with violating a new law by feeding the homeless in South Florida, 90-yearold Arnold Abbott said he’s not deterred and even went back out to serve more food at a public park.

The faceoff in Fort Lauderdale over the ordinance restricting public feeding of the homeless has pitted those with compassionate aims against residents and businesses trying to protect their neighborhoods.

Abbott, affectionately known as “Chef Arnold,” and two South Florida ministers were charged last weekend as they handed out food. They were accused of breaking the ordinance and each faces up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.

“One of the police officers said, ‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon,” Abbott said.

But on Wednesday night, Abbott and others served a four-course meal by the beach as police filmed from a distance and a crowd of

nearly 100 mostly homeless and volunteers cheered their arrival.

“God bless you, Arnold!” some shouted. Others from the church carried signs in support of Abbott, saying the ordinance was violating their right to love thy neighbor.

Abbott, a World War II veteran and civil rights activist, told The Associated Press that he has been serving the homeless for more than two decades in honor of his late wife. He has several programs, including a culi-

nary school to train the homeless he serves and help find them jobs in local kitchens.

With tears in her eyes, Rosemarie Servoky broke the crowd through Wednesday night to hug Abbott. Servoky, 68 and a graduate of Arnold’s culinary program from several years ago, said he saved her life.

“I was a crack addict. I was in a homeless shelter,” said Servoky, who contacted the mayor to complain about the new law.

Teen planned attack at school MONKTON, Md. (AP) — A Maryland teenager told police he planned to use a stolen handgun to kill his parents, then drive to his high school and kill students and teachers as revenge for years of bullying he suffered, according to court documents released Wednesday.

Sash Alexander Nemphos, 16, of Monkton, is charged as an adult, Baltimore County Police said in a tweet. The charges include possession of a destructive device, having a dangerous weapon on school property and theft, according to the probable cause documents.

Nemphos was confronted Saturday by police over thefts from a car and business, including a handgun.

After asking him about the stolen gun several times, the 10th-grader, who officers said was clearly intoxicated, told police he was going to take the gun, drive to his school Monday, shoot the school officer, and then take the officer’s gun to “kill as many teachers and students as he could.”

The documents say the teen also said he had made several bombs to blow up George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology.

Police recovered from his home a handgun, three crude, homemade explosives, a suicide note, and a journal with all his plans, the probable cause documents said. He was arrested at his home.

Nemphos told officers he had intended to go through with his plan on Halloween and had taken the gun in his backpack to school. But he had forgotten the bombs so he aborted his plan, he said.

POT Legal to possess on July 1, 2015 Continued from Page A1 “Our plan is vertical integration,” McKee said. “We’ll control every part of the process.”

Marijuana will be legal to possess on July 1. However, dispensaries are not expected to be granted licenses for recreational sales until the first half of 2016.

Passage of the ballot measure means the state must now draw up rules for its pot program. A similar process for medical dispensaries spanned months and resulted in an intricate system that governs product safety, business security systems and distances from schools.

McKee hopes the process results in a one-stop shop for medical and recreational marijuana users.

PLANS Council kept costs low Continued from Page A1 With their properties being affected the most, local residents Yashveer Singh and Linda Pump voiced approval for the lighthouse option, which would have increased construction costs by $788,548.

The boardwalk and historical commercial designs would have cost an additional $158,957 and $113,523, respectively.

Ultimately, councilors did not want to burden their constituents with any additional costs, citing the plant’s estimated $82 million cost.

“We’re already raising sewer rates 6.5 percent per year so it’s difficult for me to explain just adding a lighthouse feature,” said councilor Jennifer Groth.

While council member Stephanie Kramer found the lighthouse option more aesthetically appealing, she referenced the city’s constrained budget in her decision not to enact any change.

“You can have someone say, I have a (medical marijuana) card, and here you go, it’s $8,” McKee said. “Then another person comes up and you says, here’s the same (product) for recreational prices, it’s $10.”

Medical pot dispensaries in Oregon rely on a distribution system similar to the one used in Colorado, where proponents say the legal rollout of the drug went smoothly.

The vote on Tuesday to legalize recreational pot broke down along population and geographic lines.

Large, liberal counties in western Oregon voted for the measure and carried the day; small, rural counties in the south and east opposed the measure, in some cases, overwhelmingly.

The sole exception was populous Marion County in Willamette Valley, which was leaning slightly against the measure with most of the votes counted.

The measure will permit

adults older than 21 to possess an ounce of marijuana in public, and up to eight ounces at home. They can also possess up to four marijuana plants in their homes.

The marijuana proposal had been expected to do well with young voters. But baby boomers also showed strong support for Measure 91, with about six in 10 people between the ages of 50 and 64 voting for it, according to preliminary results of an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks.

Voters who said they were conservative and attended church every week strongly the measure, opposed according to the poll. But liberals overwhelmingly backed it, and six in 10 moderates did as well.

The Willamette Valley, which includes Portland, strongly agreed with the measure, and it was backed by both the poor and voters who make six figures.

lottery, we can’t justify the cost,” Kramer said.

Community members in the vicinity of the proposed facility had sought alternative design options as a result of concerns over property loss due to the potential odors and visual obstruction of the plant.

Following the special council session on Sept. 30 in which the city solicited input from the community regarding some of the architectural features, Singh was optimistic after he met with Mayor Crystal Shoji and City Manager Rodger Craddock to voice his concerns and suggest alternatives.

“We did get a bit of hope after we proposed adding elements of our coastal culture,” Singh said. “But it’s apparent to me that they had already made up their minds.”

While he had proposed adding the lighthouse design to the facility, Singh cited the wide disparity in the cost of the different options in his reasoning as to why he believed the council was never serious in its efforts to assuage the concerns of local residents.

Pump was especially distraught about the facility given that she was relying on her property value to retire.

“The view was why I bought the house,” Pump said. “I’m absolutely heartbroken because my property values are literally going into the toilet.”

Pump, who works as a nurse, now believes she will have to work well past the age of 70 in order to retire.

In addition to her concerns over the loss of property values, Pump was also rankled by what she perceived to be deceitful advertising by the city in regards to the aesthetics of the plant.

“When we first received a letter two years ago, it said that the building would be low, modern and blend into the scenery,” Pump said.

“When I look at this thing, it reminds me of a maximumsecurity prison or a concentration camp.”

While Singh recognizes the importance of the plant, he feels the city needed to take into account how its decision affects local residents.

“If our city is going to continue to grow, I understand it’s something we’re going to need,” Singh said.

“I’m the one affected, Linda is the one affected while other people stop, look and drive away.”

Suspect in slaying, posting death photos online caught PORTLAND (AP) — A man surrendered in Oregon after police say he killed his girlfriend, posted gruesome photos of her body and the crime scene online, and wrote that he wanted authorities to kill him.

David Kalac’s arrest Wednesday night nearly 200 miles from the crime scene in Washington state came after a daylong manhunt. He’s accused of killing Amber Lynn Coplin, whose teenage son heard the couple loudly arguing and then found his mother dead in their apartment.

Kalac, 33, texted a friend Tuesday morning to say he would read about Kalac in the news, then evaded police in the woman’s stolen car until he emerged from a wooded area and turned himself in to a passing police officer, authorities said.

Authorities confirmed the grisly photos posted on a website were of Coplin, 30, and the crime scene in Port Orchard, Washington, said Scott Wilson, a Kitsap County sheriff’s deputy.

Kalac is the sole suspect, so investigators believe he shared the photos, commented online about how the woman was killed and wrote of planning to be fatally shot by

ZONING Residents have noise concerns Continued from Page A1 walls,” architect Lon Samuels said.

While the planning commission’s additional requirements may shield the neighborhood from some noise, not all residents are happy with the council’s decision.

John Zimmerman, who maintains a rental property across the street, has been opposed to the zoning change from the beginning.

“There’s going to be a parking problem and there’s going to be a noise problem, which supporters don’t care about,” Zimmerman said.

argued loudly Monday night, court records show.

Witnesses also said they heard what sounded like a violent argument and loud thumping and banging noises coming from the apartment in the city west of Seattle across Puget Sound.

The teenager told police he thought his mom was sleeping in and Kalac was gone when he left the apartment Tuesday morning, court documents say.

The boy came home from school and took a nap. When he woke up that afternoon, he noticed the car was missing, went to check on his mother and “found her unresponsive,” the deputy said.

At that point, the teen called his father — Coplin’s estranged husband. The man came over,saw the body about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and called 911, Wilson said.

The caller reported that Coplin’s face was bashed in, her car was missing and she was bloody and bruised, court documents show.

Wilson said Kalac took the woman’s car and made the three-hour drive to Portland, where a police officer spotted the vehicle about 1:15 a.m.

police, Wilson said.

The suspect on Wednesday gave himself up to an officer patrolling the area around a transit center in Wilsonville, Oregon, about 20 miles south of Portland.

“He basically said, ‘I have a warrant for my arrest,’” Clackamas County sheriff’s Sgt. Nate Thompson said in a telephone interview. Kalac was cooperative but provided no details about how he got to Wilsonville, the spokesman said.

Kalac was charged with second-degree murder and was held in Portland on $2 million bail.

Washington state detectives aim to interview him and pick up the slain woman’s car, a 2001 Ford Focus found Wednesday afternoon in Portland, about 160 miles south of the crime scene.

Police say they found Coplin’s body in a bedroom Tuesday after her 13-year-old son discovered her that day.

Near her head was her driver’s license with the word “dead” written on it. “Bad news” was written on blinds. And the words “she killed me first” were scrawled on a picture on the wall.

WORLD D I G E S T Drummer accused of trying to arrange killings WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The 60-yearold drummer for Australian rock band AC/DC whose hits include “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” was accused Thursday of trying to arrange two killings as well as possession of drugs.

Phil Rudd made a brief appearance at the Tauranga District Court in his adopted home of New Zealand and was charged with attempting to “procure murder,” which carries a maximum prison term of 10 years.

He was released on bail.

One of the conditions is that he must not have any contact with anyone involved in the alleged plot.

Africa ivory smuggled on China state visit BEIJING (AP) — Chinese officials and businesspeople used a state trip by President Xi Jinping and other high-level visits to smuggle ivory out of Tanzania, an environmental watchdog said Thursday, casting doubt over Beijing’s efforts to end the illegal trade that has led to rampant elephant poaching throughout Africa.

China is the world’s largest importer of smuggled tusks, and Tanzania is the largest source of poached ivory, the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency said.

Poaching in Tanzania alone has killed half of the country’s elephants in the past five years, the group said in the report.

It said Chinese-led criminal gangs conspired with corrupt Tanzanian officials to traffic huge amounts of ivory, some of which was loaded in diplomatic bags on Xi’s plane during a presidential visit in March 2013.

Horror hits famed red-light district HONG KONG (AP) — For generations of Western men, Hong Kong’s Wan Chai neighborhood captured all the mystery and hedonism of this financial capital known around the world as the Pearl of the Orient.

Prostitutes,strippers and bar girls entertained visiting sailors and businessmen at all hours in these neon-filled blocks, even as working-class Hong Kongers went about their business around them. And despite all the vice, foreigners could count on being able to walk home safely in the wee hours, while many prostitutes worked independently,without protection.

Now, the neighborhood has been jolted by the killings of two young Indonesian women, with a British banker the sole suspect. Even as the music and drinks continue flowing in Wan Chai’s bars,people say the murders have cast a pall on the freewheeling streets.

Beijing wants APEC to push trade pact BEIJING (AP) — China plans to use a meeting of Asia-Pacific leaders to promote a regional trade initiative at a time when progress on a rival U.S.-led trade deal has stalled, injecting a note of rivalry into an annual summit that aims for consensus.

The two-day meeting of 21 countries including the United States, Japan and South Korea is the first major international gathering in China since President Xi Jinping came to power. Starting Monday, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting gives China, the world’s secondlargest economy, a platform to assert itself as a regional leader.

The proposal promoted by China, the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, is part of an agenda that also includes talks on cooperation in environmental protection, energy efficiency and urbanization.

Burkina Faso pressed on civilian rule OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — Diplomats pressing Burkina Faso’s military ruler to return the country to civilian rule said Wednesday they are seeking names of people who could serve as interim head of state until elections are held.

The presidents of Nigeria, Senegal and Ghana are in Burkina Faso to mediate after the African Union gave Burkina Faso’s military a twoweek deadline to hand over power or face sanctions that could cripple the landlocked, desperately poor country.

Meaning in a selfie, 1 year after storm TANAUAN, Philippines (AP) — The Saavedras waited for death as Typhoon Haiyan tore at their roof, knocked down walls and unleashed torrents of seawater below them. All they could do was pray, say “I love you” one last time and take a picture.

David Saavedra raised his cellphone in the chaos to snap a group selfie to record their final moments. He took it for his eldest sister in Manila, hoping to show that at the end, her family was together — even serene.

That explains his smile, incongruous against the wind-ripped scene and the terror-stricken faces of his younger sister, Veronica, and their mother.

The picture was intended to go on top of David’s coffin, but instead it is a reminder of The Associated Press the family’s immense luck, David Saavedra shows a group selfie photo with his younger sister and of the obligation they feel to help neighbors who Veronica, center, and mother at his office at the financial district of weren’t nearly as fortunate Makati, south of Manila, Philippines. when the massive typhoon storm displaced about 4 mil- family’s old house, now parhit Nov. 8, 2013.

Many other families had much different fates. In a nearby village, all but two members of a 45-member clan are buried in a mass grave.

When the rain and wind finally subsided hours after the storm hit, David, a 26-yearold accountant, left the cramped hallway on the second floor of the wood-and-concrete home where he and his family were huddled while hell broke loose.

He saw bodies floating on the street outside. The next-door neighbors were drenched and shuddering on the second floor of their house, its walls gone. One paraplegic neighbor was clinging to a post near the roof of his house. Others were crying, many in shock.

“In just one click, everything can be snatched from you,” David said, tears welling in his eyes. “But the feeling that you are still alive after that is really overwhelming.”

Sexual violence rampant among El Salvador gangs SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — In a country terrorized by gangsters, it is left to the dead to break the silence on sexual violence.

Rather,to the bodies of dead women and girls pulled from clandestine graves. Raped, battered and sometimes cut to pieces, they attest to the sadistic abuse committed by members of street gangs.

Even those who gather statistics say there are no reliable numbers on sexual violence in El Salvador. Threats prevent many from reporting attacks.

Others who have grown up amid rampant abuse may not even recognize rape as a crime. Still others flee the country for safety rather than seek justice from a system that more often delivers impunity.

U.S. immigration attorneys say there has been a dramatic increase in the last year in the number of women and girls from Central America seeking asylum in the United States after having been kidnapped and raped, much like the women who are fleeing war in Africa.

“Weareseeing an exponential increase,” said Lindsay Toczylowski, a lawyer with Catholic Charities in Los Angeles. “It’s the evolution of gang warfare, what’s going on in Honduras and El Salvador.

It’s what we see in other war situations around the world where rape is used as a weapon to terrorize the community.”

El Salvador’s 6 million people also suffer the second highest per capita homicide

Israel, Jordan try to ease Jerusalem tensions JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s prime minister says he has spoken to Jordan’s King Abdullah II in a bid to ease mounting tensions around Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site.

The two leaders spoke over the phone on Thursday, a day after Jordan recalled its ambassador to Israel to protest what it called an “unacceptable” Israeli police assault on a disputed hilltop compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, revered by Jews and

Muslims.

Violence erupted at the site Wednesday after a group of religious Jews tried to visit. Muslims consider such visits a provocation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he reiterated Israel’s commitment to “preserve the status quo” at the site.

The statement said “both leaders called for an immediate end to all acts of violence and incitement.”

rate in the world after neighboring Honduras. In a land of lakes and volcanos, clandestine graves appear like wild mushrooms after a rainstorm. In the evening, the cacophony of San Salvador traffic gives way to the squeals of wild parrots and, sometimes, to wails of grief for the dead.

Most of the violence is the handiwork of the Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street gangs, which were formed by migrants in the United States, then returned home and grew into warring forces of tens of thousands of gangsters.

Official numbers show just 239 women and girls among the murdered so far this year, about a tenth the number of men, with an additional 201 reported missing. Through August, 361 rapes were reported, two-thirds of them against minors. But the statistics don’t begin to tell the story.

Worldwide, women generally report only 20 percent of to the rapes, according World Health Organization, and that percentage is likely lower in El Salvador. The missing and dead also may be underreported.

US strike hits Syrian rebel compound BEIRUT (AP) — U.S. aircraft bombed al-Qaida’s Syrian branch as well as another hard-line rebel faction in northwestern Syria early on Thursday, activists said, in an apparent widening of targets of the American-led coalition against the Islamic State extremist group.

The series of airstrikes overnight targeted three different areas near the Turkish border, hitting a headquarters and a vehicle belonging to the al-Qaida-affiliated Nusra Front as well as a compound of the deeply conservative Ahrar al-Sham rebel group. It marked only the second time the United States had expanded its aerial campaign against Islamic State militants to hit other extremists in Syria.

There was no immediate confirmation from U.S. officials, but the apparent strikes took place amid a Nusra Front offensive that has routed Western-backed rebel groups from their strongholds in Syria’s Idlib province near the Turkish border. The timing suggests that Washington could be trying to curb the militant assault and destroy weapons supplies of hard-line rebels and al-Qaida fighters.

But by striking groups whose primary focus is fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad, the U.S. risks further enraging many Syrians in oppositionheld areas who believe Washington is aiding Assad in his struggle to hold onto power 1 in the country’s 3 ⁄2-year-old civil war. Purported civilian casualties have only compounded those frustrations, and activists said Thursday that at least two children were killed in the overnight strikes.

“We are tired of people saying they are coming to help us, and then they kill us,” said activist Asaad Kanjo, based in Idlib.

Washington Obama strikes upbeat tone after a gloomy election WASHINGTON (AP) — For anyone expecting postelection contrition at the White House or vows to change course after a disastrous election for Democrats, President Barack Obama had one message Wednesday: Think again.

A day after Democrats lost control of the Senate and suffered big losses in House and governors’ races across the country, Obama struck a defiant tone. He defended his policies, stood by his staff and showed few signs of changing an approach to dealing with congressional Republicans that has generated little more than gridlock in recent years.

Rather than accept the election results as a repudiation of his own administration, the president said voters were disenchanted with Washington as a whole.

And rather than offering dour assessments of his party’s electoral thrashing, as he did after the 2010 midterms, the president insisted repeatedly that he was optimistic about the country’s future.

“It doesn’t make me mopey,” he said of the election during a news conference in the East Room of the White House. “It energizes me because it means that this democracy’s working.”

The president’s sunny outlook stood in sharp contrast to the gloomy electorate. Most voters leaving polling places said they didn’t have much trust in government and felt the

analyze the outcome of the election, saying he didn’t want to “read the tea leaves on election results.”

Privately, Obama’s advisers acknowledge that Tuesday’s outcome was far worse than what they expected. They say Obama’s upbeat approach reflects a president who has spent the past several weeks growing more comfortable with the prospect of Republicans controlling Congress in his final two years in office and is intrigued by the possible opportunities that could open up as a result.

Advisers disputed the Republican criticism that Obama was tone deaf to the need to adjust to Washington’s new political The Associated Press landscape.

GOP in charge, eager to move on Keystone XL, taxes WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans’ resounding victory gives them an opportunity to push legislation that’s been bottled up in the Democratic Senate, from targeting elements of President Barack Obama’s health care law to constructing the Keystone XL oil pipeline to rolling back environmental regulations.

Democrats suffered an drubbing in electoral Tuesday’s midterms, and Republicans regained control of the Senate and

widely expanded their majority in the House. In command in both chambers in January, Republicans maintained that they have to show they can govern or else voters will show them the door.

“We now have the votes and we have the ability to call the agenda, so stop namecalling and let’s actually produce some legislation that helps jobs and the economy and moves our country forward,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said in an interview. “I think the coun-

try has figured that out, and they’ve given us the mandate to do it, and we better produce, or they’ll kick us out too.”

House Republicans are counting on Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in line to be the next Senate majority leader, to move ahead on the dozens of jobs bills that have been passed by the House but remained stalled in the Senate.

“It’s jobs, jobs, jobs,” said Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, who also wants to lift the ban on crude oil exports.

Republicans also are counting on a swift vote early next year on building the Keystone XL pipeline to carry oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast now that Republicans clearly have the numbers in the Senate. The GOP could have as many as seats if 54 Senate Republican Dan Sullivan prevails in Alaska and the party wins a Dec. 6 runoff in Louisiana. The House majority could reach historic levels of 250 out of 435 seats.

“It’s in our best interest to

show we can function and that we can lead responsibly, and that would involve getting bills that have already passed the House with bipartisan support and get Democrats to join us in the Senate and get those to the president, even something like trade,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. signaled McConnell Wednesday that he could work with Obama on trade agreements and a tax overhaul as both sides look toward governing rather than gridlock.

Obama vows to ‘get the job done’ with Republicans WASHINGTON (AP) — One day after sweeping Republican election gains, President Barack Obama and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell pledged to try to turn divided government into a force for good rather than gridlock on Wednesday, yet warned of veto showdowns as well.

Trade legislation loomed as one possibility for quick compromise, and immigration as an early irritant.

“There is no doubt that Republicans had a good night,” the president said at the White House, referring to big gains that left the GOP in control of the Senate, with an expanded House majority and in possession of a handful of governorships formerly in Democratic hands.

To voters who handed the GOP control of Congress, he said, “I hear you. ... It’s time for us to take care of business.” He cited construction of roads, bridges and other facilities as one area ripe for cooperation, and trade as another.

At the same time, he noted, “Congress will pass some bills I cannot sign. I’m pretty sure I will take some actions that some in Congress will not like.”

Obama and McConnell, in line to be the Senate’s majority leader, presented differing profiles at news conferences a little more than an hour apart.

The 53-year-old president now faces a Congress under two-house control by Republicans for the first time in his tenure — and a lame duck status that becomes more of a check on his political power with each passing day.

McConnell, 72 and famously taciturn, smiled and joked with reporters on the day after achieving a lifelong ambition.

Still, the two said they had had a pleasant telephone conversation earlier in the day.

theworldlink.com/sports ■ Sports Editor John Gunther ■ 541-269-1222, ext. 241

A look at this week’s games Class 4A First Round Sisters at Gladstone Crook County at Junction City Molalla at Scappoose Banks at Cascade Siuslaw at Mazama Sweet Home at Phoenix South Umpqua at Philomath La Grande at North Bend La Grande at North Bend Time: 7 p.m. Friday Radio: K-Light (98.7 FM) Outlook: The Bulldogs start what they hope will be a run to the state title when they host the Tigers.

North Bend enters the game unbeaten, boasting one of the top offenses and one of the top defenses in Class 4A. While North Bend won the Far West League, La Grande was champion of the Greater Oregon League, winning a tiebreaker with Ontario and Baker after all three finished 2-1 in league. Since the Tigers weren’t in the top 16 of the final OSAA rankings, they only got a first-round bye, not a bye and then a home game. North Bend can expect a busy night for its defensive backs, since La Grande loves to throw the ball. Quarterback Brandon Dall has thrown for 30 touchdowns and only three interceptions. His favorite target is freshman Andrew Peasley, who has at least one touchdown catch every game. North Bend has its own dynamic quarterback in Cam Lucero and a strong receiving corps led by Drew Matthews. But the Bulldogs are not one dimensional, with an effective running game behind a big offensive line. If North Bend wins Friday, the Bulldogs would be home again next week against either Oregon West Conference runner-up Philomath or South Umpqua of the Far West League — those teams play Friday night at Corvallis High School.

Siuslaw at Mazama Time: 1 p.m. Saturday Radio: KCST (106.9 FM) Outlook: The battle of the Vikings will be a tough test for Siuslaw, which eliminated Marshfield from the postseason in the play-in round last week. Mazama won the Skyline League and has the stingiest defense in Class 4A, allowing just over eight points a game. Mazama also scored at least 40 points five times in seven contested games — North Valley forfeited. Siuslaw also has a solid defense, and shut out Marshfield last week.

Quarterback Joseph Dotson directs the team’s traditional veer offense, which can be tough for a team to prepare for in one week. The winner of the Saturday game in Klamath Falls will face either Sweet Home or Phoenix in the quarterfinals.

Class 3A First Round Salem Academy at Santiam Christian Taft at Scio Illinois Valley at Dayton Rainier at Harrisburg Nyssa at Clatskanie Blanchet Catholic at Horizon Christian Coquille at Vale Pleasant Hill at Cascade Christian Coquille at Vale Time: Noon Saturday Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Red Devils finished 10th in the final Class 3A power rankings, but got a tough draw with the Vikings, one of just two unbeaten teams in Class 3A, but one ranked relatively low because of its strength of schedule. Vale has the best defense in Class 3A, giving up less than 10 points an outing and also the secondbest offense at better than 45 points a night. Coquille will need to have a great defensive night and also move the ball effectively on offense to have a chance to keep up with the Vikings. Despite being on opposite sides of the state, the teams have met twice in the playoffs, and Vale won both bouts on the way to eventually taking state titles in 1954 and 1975.

Class 2A First Round Kennedy at Burns Nestucca at Union/Cove Lost River at Regis Oakridge at Gold Beach Myrtle Point at Heppner Weston-McEwen at Central Linn Toledo at Oakland Culver at Knappa Myrtle Point at Heppner Time: 2 p.m. Saturday Radio: No local radio Outlook: Like Coquille, the Bobcats drew an unbeaten foe for their first playoff match. Heppner is one of three Class 2A teams without a loss, along with Gold Beach and Burns, and gives up just over 10 points per contest. Myrtle Point will try to make dents in that tough defense with its power running game. The Bobcats have thrived with fullbacks Anthony Stoddard and Isaac Godfrey and tailback Jake Miller. Myrtle Point will need another tough defensive effort like it got in the regular-season finale against Reedsport. The Bobcats limited the Braves to 77 yards and forced six turnovers while grabbing the final playoff spot for the Sunset Conference. The playoff game is a big step for a program that had only a handful of players in Marty Stallard’s first practice as head coach back in 2012.

Myrtle Point hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2008.

Oakridge at Gold Beach Time: 2 p.m. Saturday Radio: KGBR (92.7 FM) Outlook: The unbeaten Panthers haven’t missed a beat this year under new head coach Justin Storns and hope to build on the school’s legacy in the playoffs. They face a dangerous foe in the Warriors, who got off to a great season start before losing league games to Oakland and Lost River. The Panthers have been tough on defense, giving up just under 11 points an outing. If they can have another day like that and move the ball with their veer attack, they will be looking forward to another home game next week against either Lost River or Regis.

Class 1A First Round Condon/Wheeler at Lowell Hosanna Christian at Sherman Triangle Lake at Crane Pine Eagle at Camas Valley North Douglas at Dufur Powers at Wallowa Yoncalla at Days Creek Ione at Adrian Powers at Wallowa Time: 1 p.m. Saturday Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Cruisers expected to be in the playoffs when fall practice started. They probably didn’t envision such a long bus trip — 555 miles. The Cruisers like their chances, though. Powers finished third in the Mountain Skyline League’s west division, then pounded Chiloquin last week to advance to the playoffs. Stellar quarterback Jackson Stallard directs an offense that features athletic playmakers Devin MacKensen and Tye Jackson and is scoring 45 points a game. Wallowa, meanwhile, allows just 23.5 points, and will try to stop that Powers attack. The Cougars average just under 40 points a game. With a win Saturday, Powers most likely would set up another long trip (though not quite as long at 350 miles one way) to Dufur for the Class 1A quarterfinals.

North Bend’s Ignacio Aguilar pursues the ball as Ontario’s Enrique Sanchez watches during their soccer playoff match Wednesday afternoon in North Bend. Aguilar scored the only goal in the Bulldogs’ 1-0 win. For more pictures from the match, visit www.theworldlink.com.

Bulldogs advance with 1-0 victory

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — For 11 of North Bend’s last 12 soccer matches in the regular season, a single goal would’ve been enough for a win.

After Wednesday, make that 12-for-13 — and 1-for-1 in the playoffs.

After finishing the regular season as the highest scoring offense in the state (106 goals was the most of any team, in any class, boys or girls), the Bulldogs boys could only muster a single, second-half goal from Ignacio Aguilar in Wednesday’s first round playoff match against Ontario.

So Oregon’s best scoring defense (four goals given up in 15 games, best of any boys programs) did what its done all year as North Bend shut out the Tigers 1-0 at Vic Adams Field.

“We’re not going to have big scoring games anymore after this,” North Bend head coach Tom Zomerschoe said. “It’s all going to be tight, so if we can keep it at a zero in the back, we’re doing fantastic.”

The win bounces Far West League champ North Bend (13-0-1 overall record and 7-0-1 in league) back from its first hiccup of the season.

In the Bulldogs’ league finale, they tied Brookings-Harbor 1-1 while giving up their first goal in league in the process.

Bulldog defender Kyle Zomerschoe didn’t play in the Brookings-Harbor game because of a pulled groin muscle, but with him back in the lineup, the senior could see a difference before the team even hit the pitch Wednesday.

“They were a little bit down after that goal

got scored, but then I came back and we started moving again in practice,” Kyle, Tom’s son, said. “It made a difference.”

Ontario and North Bend got locked into a defensive struggle in the first half, with scoring opportunities (five shots on goal combined) coming sporadically. Bulldogs goalkeeper Chris Seldon only had to save one shot in the first 40 minutes. Rust may have been a factor since North Bend hadn’t played in over two weeks, but the Bulldogs coach thinks the added pressure of the postseason got to his team.

“In the first half we were so nervous that we played too hurried,” Zomerschoe said. “It’s hard to play our own game when we’re this tight.

“We understand what we need to do and it started to show in the second half.”

The last 40 minutes was “still not ideal” for Zomerschoe, but at least the Bulldogs were able to get on the board.

Eight minutes into the second half, North Bend countered an Ontario corner kick brilliantly. Sweeper James Jordan cleared out the Tigers attack with a header that rolled to wing Coy Woods. Inching toward the sideline with an Ontario defender pursuing at an angle, Woods had to give an uncontrolled through pass to a streaking Aguilar, falling to the turf in the process.

“I was on the ground when he shot it,” Woods said. “I got up and saw he scored and just went crazy.”

Aguilar was 3 yards behind the Ontario defense by the time he touched the ball (he was onside), with just Ontario keeper Tony Cuna

and 20 yards of real estate in front of him.

Aguilar never really got total control of the ball, but with Cuna running out to cut him off, Aguilar poked a shot to the right of Ontario’s keeper for the goal.

“I wasn’t thinking of anything when I got the ball other than ‘I want to score,’” Aguilar, a senior foreign exchange student from Spain, said. “It’s so exciting, I can’t believe it, it’s amazing.”

Aguilar’s goal was just one of the 11 shots the Bulldogs had on goal Wednesday. Ontario, trying to become the fourth team on the year to score on the Bulldogs, could only muster three shots for Seldon to save.

“All of their opportunities weren’t too threatening,” Kyle Zomerschoe said.

Ontario’s best chance came on a set piece right it front of the goal box with just over 12 minutes left. Tiger senior Javier Juarez snapped a strong kick on goal, but Seldon leaned to his right and punched away the threat, ending Ontario’s attack.

After that, Bulldogs salted away the final dozen minutes for their 14th win of the season.

North Bend will now face North Marion on the road Saturday in the quarterfinals. The Huskies beat La Grande 3-0 on Wednesday.

Last season, North Bend reached the state semifinals for the first time since 1996. The Bulldogs are now one win away from getting back.

They can thank their defense.

“Getting a shutout now is nice,” Kyle Zomerschoe said. “But our main priority is getting the win.”

Coquille aims for trophy

Seniors guide Pirates into 4A tourney

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

Marshfield will count on Hailee Woolsey, the 2014 Far West League MVP, to help lead the Pirates over the weekend. In the playoff game against Astoria, Woolsey was brilliant, finishing with a team-high 21 kills and 15 digs. Woolsey was just a freshman in 2012, so this whole tournament experience is brand new to her.

“I really don’t know what to expect but I’m excited ... more excited than I am nervous,” Woolsey said. “I don’t think it’s added pressure (being a leader), it just makes it more exciting and makes me want it more.”

Back in 2012, Clough, Tavernier and Bryant were surrounded by nine seniors when the Pirates played in the Class 5A tournament at Liberty High School in Hillsboro.

COQUILLE — Early in Coquille’s volleyball practice Wednesday, the players found themselves in a contest to see who could continuously set the ball to herself the longest.

One by one the players dropped out until only a few remained.

Senior setter Bayli Waddington got distracted for a second and was eliminated. Then senior libero Jessica Hall gave up when her fingers were exhausted. That left sophomore setter Tara Edwards the winner and got to pick a prize.

The important thing to Coquille coach Dondi Howard wasn’t who won the competition but that it was fun for her team.

Later in the practice, the squad had three more games — all based on serving skills.

After two days of brutally tough practice preparing for the Class 3A state tournament, which starts Friday, Howard wanted to make sure her players had some fun.

She doesn’t want them stressed when they play their first match at 8 a.m. Friday against Mountain Valley Conference rival Creswell at Lane Community College in Eugene.

That the players are even preparing for the state tournament is a treat. Coquille hasn’t been at the final site since 2003 and hasn’t earned a trophy since finishing seventh in 1997, when the event still was a 16-team tournament.

“It’s super exciting,” said Hall.

“I told Dondi before we ever started practicing, ‘We’re going to make it to state this year.’”

COOS BAY — Marshfield’s three seniors know what it takes to place in the state tournament.

Abby Clough, Gabby Bryant and Paige Tavernier all experienced the state tournament their sophomore year, finishing third in Class 5A. Two years later and back in the tournament — this time the Class 4A event — the biggest challenge for those three will be summoning up the memory and applying it to their younger teammates. ”They’re probably scared because I know I was,” Bryant said.

“But I think they’re ready to play high-level volleyball.”

After they missed the tournament with a five-set loss to Ridgeview last season, Marshfield is back in the tournament after an impressive four set win against Astoria last Saturday at Pirate Palace. Marshfield starts the tournament Friday at 1:15 p.m. against Valley Catholic at Lane Community College in Eugene.

Beside Marshfield’s three seniors, the Pirates have a hodgepodge of underclassmen experiencing the state tournament for the first time.

“This is definitely one of the more inexperienced teams in state,” said Marshfield head coach Tammie Montiel, who has made the playoffs 7 of her 11 years as coach of the Pirates. “With the tournaments we’ve been to, they’re used to that type of competition. So I don’t think it’s the level of competition, it’s going to be the atmosphere and environment.”

The seniors know what it feels like to be in their first tournament, but it’s new to the rest of the group.

“I’m going to use (2012) and be a leader,” said Bryant, the Far West League libero of the year. “I use my past experience to help the girls that haven’t been there before and help them not be so nervous so we don’t play timid.”

Coquille seeks end to long playoff drought

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COQUILLE — Most people around the Coquille program can quickly tell you the team’s last playoff win was the state championship game in 1970, when the Red Devils beat Junction City 10-7.

Since then, the Red Devils have lost nine straight playoff games.

The game that started that streak was a 21-0 loss on the road to eventual state champion Vale in 1975.

Coquille would love to end the streak Saturday, when they get another shot at Vale on the Vikings’ home turf.

“We really want to get a W because we haven’t in years,” senior Moe Faith said.

Faith has helped Coquille reach the playoffs the past four years — this is the team’s fifth straight trip to the postseason under coach David Thomason.

“It’s been fun,” Faith said.

“It’s kind of weird thinking it could be my last high school game.

“I’m definitely not ready for my season to end.”

Coquille likely will have to have an exceptional game to beat the Vikings.

“They’re good,” Thomason said. “They’re undefeated. They’ve got some defensively linemen that are going to give us fits.”

But Coquille is confident heading into the long trip east — Vale actually is in the Mountain Time Zone, so the 1 p.m. start time in Vale is actually noon on the South Coast.

“We had the lead against Harrisburg, and they’re good, too,” Thomason said.

Coquille lost that game to the Eagles last week on a late touchdown, which meant second place in the Mountain Valley Conference and a road trip for the first round of the playoffs.

“The Harrisburg game showed what we could do,” Faith said. “We were supposed to lose and we showed we could hang with some of these better teams.

“It was a good game to build us up for this.”

Coquille will need a strong defensive performance against Vale. Thomason hopes the Red Devils can stop

Vale’s running attack, which features multiple backs — four different players carried the ball in a six-play series on one tape the Red Devils have of the Vikings.

“We’ll try to make them throw the ball,” Thomason said.

Meanwhile, Coquille also needs to get its own run-heavy offense going, something that didn’t work well on the muddy field at Harrisburg.

The Red Devils call their wing-T attack the four-headed hydra with Faith and fellow running backs Joe Scolari and Wyatt Yates to go with quarterback Zach Breitkreutz.

“If they focus so much on one person, somebody else can have a good night,” Scolari said.

More often, multiple players have put up big numbers in games, especially since Coquille’s loss to Illinois Valley in its last preseason game. That night was the turning point to the season, Thomason said.

“Since the IV game, we’ve gotten so much better,” he said. “We’re more confident.

We haven’t changed any-

thing we’re doing. We’re doing it better.”

Confidence will be huge Saturday, Scolari said, adding that the keys to a win are “focus, execute, know we can beat them, not being timid.”

A big play early, on offense or defense, would help that cause, he said.

“We need that big motivation,” he said.

Thomason said he’s looking forward to the entire trip, because it will be a lifetime memory for his players.

He expects them to play well, even in a hostile environment.

“These guys are a different group than any I’ve had,” he said. “Mentally, they’re the strongest group I’ve coached. They don’t quit.”

That will be important against a team used to winning. Vale has claimed 11 state championships, most recently when the Vikings beat Gold Beach for the title in 2007.

“They’ve got a great tradition over there,” Thomason

By Lou Sennick, The World said. “Coquille is building a Coquille coach David Thomason smiles after a Red Devil touchdown tradition.

“The next step is winning during a recent game against La Pine. Thomason led the Red Devils to the playoffs for the fifth straight year. a playoff game.”

New coach yields same standard of success for Panthers

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

GOLD BEACH — You can’t start a career any better than Justin Storns.

The first-year Gold Beach head coach finished his debut year 9-0 in the regular season, giving the Panthers the Sunset Conference title and a No. 3 ranking entering the Class 2A playoffs.

The regular season is nice, but he knows the Panthers measure themselves on postseason success.

Gold Beach starts what it hopes will be a run to its fourth state title when the Panthers host Oakridge at 2 p.m. Saturday.

“That’s what we pride

ourselves in,” Storns said of state championships. “Now this is where you worked hard all summer and all year and where our hard work tends to pay off.”

Last year, Gold Beach had two losses. This year could’ve easily gone the same games, with some tight road games, that the Panthers persevered through.

Gold Beach had early nonleague wins at North Eugene and St. Mary’s by a combined six points before rolling off a 5-0 record in the Sunset Conference, winning by an average of 26.4 points.

“The road games should help us in the playoffs this year,” Storns said. “We’ve been paying on the road and

playing pretty good on the road. We’re fortunate to finish in the top four, get homefield advantage in the first round and next round — if we win.”

The win Storns takes most pride in was against North Eugene in Week 4, both for getting the win as a team and for turning the corner as a decision-maker at coach.

Late in the first half, Gold Beach turned the ball over inside its 20 and gave up a score. On the ensuing kickoff, with just 2.5 seconds left, Storns decided to take a chance. Skyler Floyd found Shawn Wallace about 10 yards down field and he scurried for a 60-yard touchdown as the buzzer sounded.

“Easily, I could’ve taken a knee,” Storns said. “We decided to run one play and see what we could get out of it.”

Then in the fourth quarter, Storns took another chance on fourth down, letting Floyd throw to Raef Williams to seal the game instead of giving the Highlanders a chance to score.

Williams catch. First down. Gold Beach wins 22-18.

“That was huge,” Storns said.

Storns has no qualms calling his defense one of the best in the state, and the numbers back him up.

Gold Beach has given up 10.7 points per game — only Burns, Knappa and Heppner have allowed fewer.

Robert Moore, Colton Maxwell and JR Keeler have all proved to be vital on the defensive side, but some other new players have gotten a chance to prove themselves.

Linebacker Rueben Salcedo was called for an unsportmanlike penalty in the Toledo game and was ejected, leaving a spot for Ricky Rangel to come in and prove himself.

Rangel got a key interception in the Panthers’ 20-12 win over Toledo that essentially clinched the Sunset Conference title.

“We take great pride in our defense,” Storns said.

“Our whole defense has played as one.”

Behind Floyd at quarterback, fullback Keeler has been the focal point of the Panthers offense. Storns will run him inside even when people put nine people in the box, especially with lineman including Lincoln Newdall, Mauricio Boydston, Dakota Hensley creating holes in the trenches for him.

Now that they’ve made the playoffs, Panthers have reached one of their two goals.

First, they wanted to win the Sunset Conference.

Check.

The next is to win the 2A state championship.

“It comes down to crunch time now,” Storns said. “Win or go home.”

RED DEVILS

week, so the early start shouldn’t phase the team.

Howard said the group often is more focused in the morning.

Second, Coquille anticipates a big Creswell crowd since Lane Community College is less than 10 miles from the Creswell campus.

The players say they compete better in loud environments.

“We played awesome at Creswell,” Hall said.

Howard said one of the biggest assets of the team is how all seven players in the primary rotation work as a group.

“We have a lot of talent,” she said. “On any given day, a different girl stands out.”

One match it might be freshman outside hitter McKenna Wilson or junior middle blocker Trisha Ray. In the win over Catlin Gabel, sophomore outside hitter Esabella Mahlum and middle blocker Darian Wilson had big matches.

And all the players stand

out on defense, especially Hall, who has had matches with more than 30 digs.

“We’re not a tall team, but it’s OK because we’re scrappy,” Waddington said.

Hall and Waddington are the only seniors, meaning this year is a big stepping stone.

“There’s always a learning experience in every single thing you do,” Howard said.

“This is huge going on to next year.”

And it still can be huge this year, especially if the Red Devils upset the top-ranked Bulldogs on Friday morning.

“They’re definitely a beatable team,” Waddington said. “We have to really play like we want it.”

Admission for the Friday morning’s session is $7 for adults and $4 for students.

Fans who want to stay and support Marshfield in its afternoon match against Valley Catholic would have to pay a separate admission for that session.

From Page B1 Coquille clinched its tourney bid with a three-set win over Catlin Gabel in the playoffs Saturday. That match was one of the best all year for the Red Devils, immediately following one of the team’s worst, a loss to Creswell earlier the same week.

Howard spent all week last week and the first few days this week working on improving the teams deficiencies against Creswell, “the little things what we can get perfect,” she said.

The players are optimistic they can turn around the result against the Bulldogs this time around.

“We know that we can do it,” Waddington said.

Two things that might work against a team don’t concern the Red Devils.

First, Coquille practices before school at least once a

Sports Vikings are back in playoffs PIRATES From Page B1

THE WORLD Siuslaw’s football team overcame an 0-3 start in the Far West League to reach the Class 4A playoffs for the 12th straight year.

It took winning the final two games league against Douglas and Brookings-Harbor, plus finishing high enough in the power rankings to reach the Class 4A play-in round out of the Far West League.

Then the Vikings, (2-3 in the Far West League, 6-3 overall) avenged a 29-28 regular season loss toMarshfield by eliminating the Pirates at Pete Susick Stadium last Friday 14-0.

Siuslaw continues its run

against Mazama at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Klamath Falls.

Mazama, the undefeated Skyline League champion, had the stingiest defense in Class 4A, allowing just 8.3 points a game. The No. 3 ranked team also scored 44.8 points per outing.

By contrast, Siuslaw averages 32.3 points per game on offense while giving up 18.4 points per contest.

Siuslaw enters the playoffs with momentum from its win over Marshfield.

Siuslaw’s offense outgained Marshfield 352 to 126 in total yards.

On the ground, Christian Jakobsen rushed for 94 yards on

They’ve set their sights higher on the podium this year.

“I want to do better than that,” Clough said before the Astoria play-in game last week. “I feel like for senior year, I should improve from sophomore year. And I expect us to place, I expect us to do really well.”

Marshfield looked very good in its first playoff game against the Fisherman.

Down 15-8 in the fourth set, Marshfield battled back to steal the final game 2624, staving off a fifth set.

The Pirates have only lost eight sets total in 24 matches this season, not counting pool play during various tournaments, and want to keep the ball rolling from their first postseason win.

“I think we’re going to use (the Astoria win) to make sure we don’t get down on ourselves,” Far West League

20 carries and scored a touchdown.

Quarterback Joseph Dotson went 13-for-19 passing for 122 yards and had a touchdown rushing. Preston Mitchell had six catches for 40 yards and also went 4-for-7 passing for 49 yards while playing quarterback in the second quarter, including completing a pass to Dotson.

Siuslaw also has receivers Scott Gordon and Maverick Michael as well as tailbacks Brad Snow and Billy Jones to diversify its attack.

The winner in Klamath Falls faces either Sweet Home or Phoenix in the quarterfinals next week.

setter of the year Shaylynn Jensen said.

“When we stayed positive and excited, we kept the momentum and did a lot better.”

Valley Catholic, Marshfield’s quarterfinal opponent, is the only private school in Class 4A, having moved up from Class 3A this fall. Marshfield and Valley Catholic both played in the Santiam Christian tournament earlier in the fall, but didn’t face each other. Marshfield lost to Creswell, the top-ranked team in Class 3A, during the first round of the bracket, while Valley Catholic fell to host Santiam Christian in the semifinals. Marshfield also lost to Santiam Christian, but in the pool portion of the event.

From what Montiel gleaned from the Valiants back in September, Friday should be a lot fun.

“I think personnel for personnel, we match up and are pretty comparable to what they have,” she said. “If both of us play the way we can play, I think it’ll be a fight to the end.”

Lawyers says A-Rod admitted using steroids THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press

Utah Jazz's Gordon Hayward (20) shoots against Cleveland Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson (13) in the closing seconds on Wednesday in Salt Lake City. Utah won 102-100.

Hayward, Jazz shoot down Cavs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — Gordon Hayward made a step-back jumper at the buzzer, one-upping LeBron James and boosting the Utah Jazz to a 102-100 victory over the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Hayward, who had 21 points, broke free of James to catch an inbounds pass, faked a move to the basket and then stepped back on the right wing and swished a 21-foot jump shot as the horn sounded.

The forward was mobbed by his Jazz teammates in a scene reminiscent of a college tournament game.

Derrick Favors had 21 points and 10 rebounds but the Jazz had to overcome a last-minute effort by James, who scored 31 points as Cleveland fell to 1-3.

Spurs 94, Hawks 92: Tim Duncan had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and San Antonio held on for its 17th straight win at home over Atlanta.

The Spurs had a season-high 25 assists for a balanced scoring effort that they needed to fend off the Hawks’ furious rally in the final quarter.

Tony Parker scored 17 points and Manu Ginobili added 12, including a pair of free throws with 3.8 seconds remaining.

DeMarre Carroll and Paul Millsap each had 17 points for Atlanta (1-2). Al Horford added 10.

Bulls 95, Bucks 86: Derrick Rose returned from his latest injury and helped Chicago to another victory at Milwaukee.

Taj Gibson scored 23 points, Pau Gasol added 22 and Rose had 13 points and seven assists in 32 minutes for the Bulls, who have beaten the Bucks nine straight times in Milwaukee.

With Chicago leading by one, Gasol hit a jumper and Butler made an acrobatic layup. That started a clinching 9-2 run that was capped by Kirk Hinrich’s 3-pointer with 2:16 remaining.

Grizzlies 102, Suns 91: Mike Conley had 24 points and 11 assists, and Memphis used a strong defensive effort in the third quarter to beat Phoenix and remain unbeaten.

The Grizzlies, who won all four meetings last season, forced 10 turnovers in the third and turned an 11-point deficit in the second period into a five-point lead

NBA Recap

going into the fourth. Conley and fellow guard Courtney Lee, both coming off injuries, combined to score 17 of Memphis’ 30 third-quarter points.

Eric Bledsoe made his first eight shots for Phoenix and finished with a season-high 23 points.

Pistons 98, Knicks 95: Greg Monroe had 23 points and 18 rebounds, and Detroit held off New York for its first win of the season.

The Pistons (1-3) went 1 for 17 on 3pointers in Sunday’s loss to Brooklyn, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hit their first three attempts against New York, and they ended up with a season-high 11.

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 20 points for the Knicks. Carmelo Anthony had only 13 points on 5-of-21 shooting for New York.

Raptors 110, Celtics 107: Kyle Lowry scored 35 points and had a key steal in the closing minute to lead Toronto over Boston.

DeMar DeRozan had 23 points and Patrick Patterson added 14 for the Raptors.

Rajon Rondo led Boston with a triple-double of 13 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds. Jeff Green had 20 points for the Celtics, who have lost three straight after a season-opening win over Brooklyn.

With the score tied at 105, Lowry stripped rookie Marcus Smart and fed DeRozan for a fast-break layup with 33 seconds left. He was fouled on the play and hit the free throw.

Hornets 96, Heat 89: Al Jefferson scored a season-high 28 points and added 10 rebounds, and Charlotte snapped a 16-game, regular-season losing streak against Miami.

Kemba Walker had 16 points and seven assists, and Cody Zeller turned in another solid game off the bench with 13 points and eight rebounds for the Hornets (2-3), who won for the first time since the season opener.

Chris Bosh had 23 points and 13 rebounds for Miami (3-2). It was Bosh’s fifth straight 20-point game.

Timberwolves 98, Nets 91: Nikola Pekovic converted a tiebreaking threepoint play with 48 seconds left, and Minnesota scored the final nine points of the game to beat Brooklyn.

Kevin Martin led the Timberwolves with 26 points and rookie Andrew Wiggins, playing in the arena where he

was taken by Cleveland with the No. 1 pick in the draft, added 17.

Joe Johnson had 22 points for the Nets (2-2), who had won their last two games. Deron Williams added 19.

Wizards 96, Pacers 94, OT: John Wall had seven of his 31 points in overtime, and Washington won its fourth straight and gained a tiny measure of revenge from last season’s playoffs by beating resilient but even-moredepleted Indiana.

The Wizards blew a 12-point, second-half lead and survived Roy Hibbert’s 3-point attempt in the closing seconds to move three games above .500, a mark they didn’t reach until March 1 last season.

Magic 91, 76ers 89: Tobias Harris made a jumper at the buzzer to give Orlando its first win of the season.

Nik Vucevic scored 17 points and Channing Frye had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Orlando. Harris had 18 points and eight rebounds to help the Magic snap a season-opening, fourgame losing streak.

Tony Wroten scored 27 points and Brandon Davies had 20 to give the Sixers two 20-point scorers in a game for the first time this season.

Warriors 121, Clippers 104: Stephen Curry had 28 points and seven assists, Draymond Green scored a career-high 24 and Golden State remained unbeaten with its most impressive performance yet, routing the Los Angeles Clippers.

Green added eight rebounds and five assists as the Warriors (4-0) showed off the swagger of a confident and complete contender. They built a 25-point lead in the second quarter and held off the Clippers the rest of the way, getting a small slice of revenge after losing a heated first-round playoff series to Los Angeles last season.

Houston and Memphis are the only other undefeated teams left.

Kings 131, Nuggets 109: DeMarcus Cousins had 30 points and 11 rebounds, Rudy Gay scored 29 and Sacramento beat Denver to extend its best start in more than a decade.

The Kings improved to 4-1 for the first time since 2001-02, when they won the Pacific Division and grabbed the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. They haven’t been back to the postseason since 2007.

WNBA star to be an ambassador for Lyme disease

BY DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

Elena Delle Donne has been public about her battle with Lyme disease.

Now the WNBA star will serve as the first national ambassador to help promote awareness of the tick-borne disease.

Delle Donne has dealt with the bacterial disease since 2008, and it caused her to miss 18 games on three separate occasions in college at Delaware. After seemingly having it under control, she sat out 17 games for the Chicago Sky this season.

“It’s really special because Lyme disease has become part of my life now,” Delle Donne said in a phone interview. “I learned that I’ll wake up every day and deal with it.

There are good days and bad days. If I can be a voice and reach out to people and make

them aware of the disease it will help.”

The ailment is named after Lyme, Connecticut, where the illness was first identified in 1975. It’s often transmitted through the bites of infected deer ticks, and symptoms include a fever, headache and fatigue.

Sometimes there’s a rash that looks like a bull’s-eye centered around the tick bite.

Most people recover with antibiotics, but if left untreated, the infection can cause arthritis and more severe problems.

Delle Donne wasn’t fortunate enough to catch the disease early and it’s a chronic problem for her. She hopes one day she’ll be able to taper off the antibiotics she takes now.

“Maybe it happened for a reason, so that I can help others,” said Delle Donne, who plans to speak at col-

MIAMI — A lawyer for the University of Miami’s former pitching coach said Alex Rodriguez admitted to federal investigators he used steroids supplied by the owner of a now-closed South Florida clinic.

Attorney Frank Quintero Jr., who represents Lazaro “Laser” Collazo in his defense against charges of conspiracy to distribute performance-enhancing drugs, told The Associated Press that the New York Yankees third baseman confessed to steroids use, according to Drug Enforcement Administration documents provided by the government to defense lawyers.

The Miami Herald first reported Rodriguez’s admission, saying he met with DEA agents on Jan. 29 at the agency’s South Florida field office.

Given a grant of immunity from prosecution, Rodriguez told investigators he did use banned substances between late 2010 and October 2012 supplied by Anthony Bosch, who owned the Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables.

Rodriguez has publicly denied any use of banned substances during his time with the Yankees, which began in 2004.

leges and schools.

“We are delighted to welcome Elena as our first LRA Ambassador,” said Lyme Research Alliance co-president Debbie Siciliano. “She will spread hope and courage to thousands of people affected by Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.”

Delle Donne also became a global ambassador for Special Olympics this year.

It’s another cause dear to the 25-year-old, whose sister Lizzie is blind, deaf and has cerebral palsy and autism.

Meanwhile, the WNBA’s 2013 rookie of the year is running a set of basketball camps for the second straight year, including two in Delaware this weekend. These camps will include Special Olympics athletes.

“The first camp was incredible to see the girls work together,” Delle Donne said. “They immediately took the Special Olympic athletes under their wing. It was an infectious atmosphere. It’s a special moment when you can break down barriers.”

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Tuscaloosa police have issued an arrest warrant for former Alabama and NFL fullback Le’Ron McClain on charges of trafficking in synthetic marijuana, or spice.

Police spokesman Sgt. Brent Blankley said in a news release Wednesday that narcotics agents recovered 122 grams of synthetic marijuana during an investigation involving the 29-year-old McClain.

Agents told McClain Wednesday they would issue a warrant as soon as tests results on the substance came back later in the day.

The release said they told him not to leave Tuscaloosa.

Patrol officers trying to serve the warrant at the home of McClain’s mother said she told them he left the state.

McClain, originally of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was released in March after two seasons with the San Diego Chargers. He also played with Baltimore and Kansas City in a sevenyear NFL career.

Former pitcher dies in climbing accident NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — Former major league pitcher Brad Halsey has died in a recreational climbing accident. He was 33.

Police in Comal County said an investigation was still ongoing into Friday’s accident in the Texas Hill Country area. The Lux Funeral Home said services were pending.

Halsey went 14-19 in 88 games with the New York Yankees, Arizona and Oakland from 2004-06. The left-hander most recently pitched in the minors for the Yankees in 2011.

New owner says new stadium in Buffalo BUFFALO, N.Y. — Terry and Kim Pegula are committed to building a stadium for the Buffalo Bills and are working on ending the team’s series of annual home games in Toronto.

Those were among the topics the franchise’s new owners touched upon during a wide-ranging 20 minute interview with The Associated Press.

“Well, there’s going to be a new stadium somewhere, that’s all I know,” Terry Pegula said. “The league was pretty emphatic that Buffalo, we’re a small market, needs to be as competitive as we can.”

The one answer the Pegulas couldn’t provide yet is a location, timeline or how the costs of a new stadium will be split.

Kim Pegula said she and her husband will join an already established New Stadium Working Group that is studying potential locations, designs and costs.

After toiling in the shadow of Tom Brady for three seasons in New England and backing up Ryan Fitzpatrick for nine games this year, coach Bill O’Brien said the Houston Texans will bench Fitzpatrick and start Mallett at Cleveland on Nov. 16.

O’Brien made the announcement as the Texans prepare to take time off during their bye week. He lauded Fitzpatrick for his hard work, but said the team needed a change.

The coach made it clear that this isn’t a one-game experiment and that Mallett will be Houston’s starter for the rest of the season.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Lady Vols suspend four players KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee women’s basketball team has suspended four players for academic reasons.

Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick said guards Ariel Massengale and Andraya Carter would miss one game and forward Cierra Burdick and guard Jannah Tucker would miss two because they did “not live up to our academic standards.”

Tucker’s punishment won’t take effect until she has fully recovered from a knee injury.

Massengale, Carter and Burdick will sit out the fourth-ranked Lady Vols’ Nov. 14 opener against Penn.

Burdick also will sit out the Nov. 17 home game with Oral Roberts. None of them will play Sunday in an exhibition game with Carson-Newman.

Sports Utah hopes to step up passing game against Ducks

BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

After continued struggles with their passing game, the No. 20 Utah Utes are turning again to a quarterback competition in preparation for fifth-ranked Oregon this weekend.

Kendal Thompson and Travis Wilson are separated by an “or” on the Utes’ depth chart.

“The quarterback position is a competition this week — it’s opened back up,” coach Kyle Whittingham said. “We’ll have them compete in practice this week and see what transpires and go with the guy that we feel is going to give us the best chance to win.”

The renewed competition between the two quarterbacks means the Ducks won’t know who they’re going to face until game time on Saturday night at RiceEccles Stadium.

The Utes (6-2, 3-2 Pac12) are coming off a 19-16 loss in overtime to Arizona

State. Wilson, who started the game, threw for just 57 yards but hit Devontae Booker with a 4-yard scoring pass early in the third quarter for Utah’s only touchdown of the game.

The Utes have just one passing touchdown in each of the last two games.

“As an offense we need to help our defense out more,” Wilson said. “Our defense has been playing great every single week. We need to put some more points on the board and help them out.”

Utah falls last in the Pac12 with an average of 175.2 yards passing per game, ranking the Utes 109th among FBS programs nationally. The team has 11 passing touchdowns this season, second to last in the conference.

“We’d like to throw the ball a lot better than we have been. And when I say that, not literally the quarterback throwing the ball but more production in the throwing game,” Whittingham said. “If you had to determine one

thing that’s really held us back this year, it’s the lack of production throwing the football. That’s been an ongoing problem, and we’ve got to get that solved.”

Wilson started the first five games of the season before Thompson, a transfer from Oklahoma, started against Oregon State.

Wilson won back the job and tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kaelin Clay with 8 seconds left to give Utah a 24-21 victory over USC. Overall, Wilson has thrown for 1,084 yards and nine touchdowns, while Thompson has thrown for 301 yards and two TDs. Both quarterbacks have also rushed for a score.

The Utes’ passing game has been hurt by the loss of dynamic wide receiver Dres Anderson to a season-ending knee injury. The senior team captain was hurt in the fourth quarter of the victory over the Trojans after pulling down a pass that gave the Utes a first down on their

way to the winning touchdown.

Anderson led Utah with 355 yards receiving and four touchdowns this season.

“He was their man but they’ve got other guys that I’m sure are going to be ready to jump to the opportunity.

You can’t take it easy just because their star receiver is out,” Oregon defensive back Erick Dargan said.

The Utes are looking to junior Kenneth Scott, who has 26 catches for 258 yards and three scores, to help in Anderson’s absence.

No matter who emerges as Utah’s starting QB — or his go-to receiver — on Saturday, the Utes will still face a considerable challenge in the Ducks (8-1, 5-1) who this week rose to No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Oregon’s defense stymied Stanford in a 45-16 win last weekend at Autzen Stadium.

Dargan had an interception, forced a fumble and had 12 tackles.

The Ducks’ passing

The Associated Press

Utah quarterback Travis Wilson runs for yards in the first half during a game against Arizona State on Saturday. defense is ranked ninth in the Pac-12. Oregon is allowing opponents an average of 291 yards in the air per game and 14 overall touchdowns.

“If you can’t throw the football, they’re going to load up the box, just like ASU did,” Whittingham said. “They

had 10 men within 7-8 yards of scrimmage almost every snap. We’ve got to have a way, as an offense, to loosen up the defense, and the only way to do that is get the ball up the field throwing it, and we haven’t been able to do that the last several weeks.”

Big Ten showdown finally arrives

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

The entire Big Ten season has been leading to this: Ohio State vs. Michigan State.

The winner is on track to play for the conference title and make a case for a spot in the College Football Playoff.

The loser is left to play its way into a nice bowl and hope for the A best. championship of any kind this season will be highly unlikely.

There are six games Saturday matching ranked teams and dripping with playoff implications from the Big 12 to the Pac-12 to the Southeastern Conference.

None of those games has more at stake than the rematch of last year’s Big Ten title game at East Lansing, Michigan.

The Spartans kept Ohio State from playing in the final BCS championship game and snapped the Buckeyes’ 24game winning streak in Indianapolis last year.

The Buckeyes (7-1) then lost the Orange Bowl to Clemson. Then they lost star quarterback Braxton Miller to a shoulder injury before this season started. And they lost at home to Virginia Tech.

With J.T. Barrett blossoming into a fine replacement for Miller, Ohio State hasn’t lost since but outside of their passionate fans, nobody seems to be taking them seriously.

“This is a game to get the respect that Ohio State deserves and has had in the past. You have to go compete and win this game and it’s going to be a task. But that’s real,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.

Michigan State (7-1) went to Oregon in Week 2 and played the Ducks tough for about three quarters before letting them fly away.

The Spartans, like the Buckeyes, have been going about their business rather quietly since.

The Big Ten has afforded both teams with few opportunities for the types of victories that can get the selection committee’s attention. The Spartans got one against Nebraska. Ohio State has been laying waste to the middle- and lower-tier of the Big Ten, save for an overtime victory at Penn State.

That makes Ohio StateMichigan State basically a playoff elimination game.

And because the Buckeyes and Spartans now play in the same division, the Big Ten East will be all but out of reach for the loser.

No pressure, guys.

The picks:

College Picks

The Associated Press

Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill throws a pass over the Jacksonville Jaguars defense during the second half of their Oct. 26 game.

Tannehill’s play boosts Dolphins DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — The two Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks stood on the sideline at midfield Wednesday, watching Ryan Tannehill throw passes in practice.

When Tannehill fired yet another completion, Bob Griese turned and said something to Dan Marino, who nodded.

Forty games into Tannehill’s career, he’s making a better impression.

Over the past five games, Tannehill has a passer rating of 104.1 while completing 68 percent of his attempts and averaging 8.2 yards per attempt. He has led the Dolphins (5-3) to three consecutive victories, and they’re above .500 at midseason for the first time since 2003.

“He’s the reason we’re playing well,” guard Mike Pouncey said.

“Ryan is doing a great job for the last four or five weeks,” receiver Mike Wallace said. “Hopefully he can keep it up. Everybody knows he has the

potential, man.”

Tannehill has received informal mentoring from Marino, who was hired in August as a special adviser to the team owner, and has heard words of encouragement from Griese, a broadcast analyst for the team. But the biggest reason for Tannehill’s recent improvement might be his increasing familiarity with the offense installed by first-year coordinator Bill Lazor.

“There is a comfort level,” Lazor said, “in the fact that all the different options that occur on some of these pass plays, he’s just had a chance to see them, so he isn’t surprised when they happen.”

As a result, Tannehill said it’s easier for him to review his own work lately.

He converted from receiver to quarterback as a junior at Texas A&M and is still learning the position.

“I’m not where I want to be at by any

stretch, but I’m progressing,” he said.

“I’m seeing improvements. I see better throws and see the ball coming out quicker.”

Lazor’s game plans lately have taken advantage of Tannehill’s athleticism by mixing rollouts, read options and short passes to a diverse cast of receivers. He struggles with his accuracy on deep passes, so Lazor has reduced the number of long throws in recent games.

The Dolphins play Sunday at Detroit. Lions coach Jim Caldwell said his team will be braced for a quarterback who’s on a roll — and can run.

“I had a chance to watch him as a college player and found him to be an unusual cat, one of those guys who has a real good presence, who’s adept at running and throwing,” Caldwell said. “He keeps his eyes downfield and can hurt you on the flank, which he has done time and time again.”

Ohio battle takes on more meaning

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Too often, the so-called Battle of Ohio has been about as tasty as week-old Skyline Chili.

Not this week.

When the Browns travel to Cincinnati tonight, there’s plenty at stake. Cleveland is 5-3, barely behind the first-place Bengals (52-1) and second-place Pittsburgh (6-3) in what has shaped up as an intriguing division. They’ve won four of their past five.

“This is a big game,” Browns coach Mike Pettine said, noting he and his players won’t shy away from the pressure of being in contention halfway through the schedule.

“I don’t think I need to hype it any more as far as where we are. I’m not going

Pro Picks

to be that coach that just ignores it and doesn’t talk about it. That is our goal. I’m not going to hide from it, but at the same time, we have enough on our plate worrying about a short week and going down to Cincinnati and playing well.”

Cleveland must play better offensively than it did in its past three games, against NFL weaklings Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay. The Browns even managed to lose to the Jaguars, the only win so far for Jacksonville.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2014 Your resourcefulness and resilience will be tested. Although you will face some difficulties, you may be able to outmaneuver your opponents and come out on top if you are conscientious and precise.

You will be rewarded for your dependability as well as for your common sense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A last-minute deviation from your plans will have an amazing effect on your future. Go with the flow, and you will not be disappointed.

Safeguard documents and information until needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You should stop agonizing over what you’ve done in the past and look at the future with optimism.

Unwise decisions will be the result of poor judgment. Focus on the here and now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Preoccupation with personal problems will interfere with your professional productivity. Make your career a priority to avoid further repercussions. Let success be your revenge and your ticket to a better future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t dwell on negative events.

Consider your objectives and put your best foot forward. Appreciate what you have and you’ll find a way to make the most of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Cultural influences will spur your creativity and spark new ideas.

Music and art can be enjoyed with little or no cash via the Internet or at galleries and museums.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A falling out with someone will leave you feeling uneasy. If you overreact, you will have to make amends. Be honest and admit your mistake.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A brief getaway will renew your faith in life. It’s easy to lose sight of your goals if you’ve been running in circles and getting nowhere fast. An escape will put things in perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Be generous with your time, not your money. Don’t let negativity take a toll on your well-being. Volunteer for a worthy cause to make a difference.
