Coos Bay school board opts for preK-6, 7-12 grade configuration CHELSEA DAVIS

Timeline: Construction of Coos Bay school buildings

The World‌

‌C OOS BAY — After two years of community surveys and meetings, the Coos Bay school board unanimously voted Monday night to reconfigure the district into three campuses: two preK-6 campuses and grades 7-12 at Marshfield High. That’s as specific as it gets at the moment and there isn’t a deadline yet for when this change will take place. Now, the school board, district and community are tasked with honing the plan to figure out what buildings need to be on each campus and how students will flow within those facilities.

1923: Harding Learning Center 1939: Marshfield High School (additions: auditorium in 1939, main gym in 1951, auto machine shop in 1961 and courtyard in 1963) 1949: Milner Crest Elementary 1953: Madison Elementary (multipurpose area added in 1962)

This decision will move seventhgraders to Marshfield, which elicited the same worries Coquille faced last year. Claudine Beauchamp, a parent of a Marshfield sophomore, had the same concerns. “I really think it’s important to keep the seventh-graders and the

Rescued fishermen: Don’t close CG base

Rainy Monday Afternoon

JEFF BARNARD Associated Press‌

according to the U.S. Cranberry Marketing Committee. To trim the nearly 100 percent surplus, the USDA announced Nov. 21 it will buy approximately 680,000 barrels of cranberries in the form of juice, sauce and dried berries to distribute to food banks and schools.

‌GRANTS PASS — Fishermen rescued off the Oregon coast by a helicopter dispatched out of a Coast Guard base that’s slated to close say the $6 million that would be saved is not worth the lives of fishermen. Kelly Madden is the skipper of the fishing vessel Blazer, which sank Saturday about 30 miles off the coast. He said Monday from Newport, Oregon, that despite donning survival suits and getting into a life raft, he and his crew were feeling the cold when the helicopter arrived within 20 minutes of their mayday call. He says the crew members might have been going into hypothermia by the time a helicopter from another base farther away could arrive. “You spend $10 million a day on a war and you can’t come up with $6 million a year to run a helicopter facility that saves lives,” said Madden, who lives in Sarasota, Florida. “It doesn’t make sense to me.” Deckhand Justin Haggart of Huntington Beach, Calif., said he started feeling the cold about the same time the helicopter arrived. “All the adrenalin, all the sweat started getting cold on me,” he said. “They say (the survival suits) are good for five hours. To be honest, I don’t know. In another hour we could have all been passed out from hypothermia. It took the (Coast Guard rescue) boat (out of Depoe Bay) an extra hour-plus to get out there. The helicopter was right on site immediately,” and served as a reference point for the boat to find the life raft. The helicopter hoisted three crewmen to safety, and Haggart and Madden waited for the rescue boat. The Coast Guard had planned to close air stations in Newport and Charleston, S.C. on Nov. 30, but postponed the decision after members of Congress complained.

Kitzhaber budget focuses on early education JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press‌

‌SALEM — Gov. John Kitzhaber on Monday proposed a budget that would increase funding for education with a focus on children before they reach third grade. With the economic recovery expected to drive up tax collections, the Democratic governor unveiled an $18.6 billion twoyear budget for the state general fund and lottery. His spending plan would be an increase of nearly 11 percent over the current budget. It would not

raise taxes. “This budget is our earnest effort to address the disparities that exist in Oregon,” said Kitzhaber, who was elected last month to a fourth term. Kitzhaber singled out programs that would help lowerincome Oregonians. He wants to offer day care subsidies to more families. And he proposed creating tax credits to ensure lowwage workers don’t abruptly lose money as their income rises and they no-longer qualify for public assistance programs. L a w m a k e rs a re f re e to change or ignore Kitzhaber’s

recommendations. Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, said he’s asked the Legislature’s chief budget writers to release their own budget proposal by mid-January. The final budget must be approved by the Legislature and signed by Kitzhaber before July 1. Kitzhaber’s budget plan would increase education funding, particularly for early-childhood education, saying Oregon should ensure that 95 percent of thirdgraders are proficient at reading within five years, up from 68 percent now. Kitzhaber has

advocated for a focus on thirdgrade reading during previous legislative sessions and his reelection campaign, saying students are less likely to drop out during high school if they have solid reading skills. Altogether, he’s proposed $9.4 billion for education, with the lion’s share going to primary and secondary schools. The State School Fund, which provides most of the state money for local school districts, would rise only about 4 percent to $6.9 billion, with another $407 million See Budget, A10

Between this year’s cranberries and fruit still unsold from 2013, the global cranberry supply stands at 16 million barrels (1.6 billion pounds). Demand over the next year is expected to be about 8.2 million barrels,

Opinion

theworldlink.com/news/opinion

An image that promises hope One photo suggests what we all should be feeling in our hearts. ‌An Associated Press photo from a peace rally in Portland last week caught our eye. In case you missed it on page 3 of Monday’s paper, we’re publishing it again here. The event was one of dozens of rallies held in cities nationwide after a grand jury decided not to indict a white Ferguson, Mo., police officer, Darren Wilson, in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, an African-American. Most of us already know the story painfully well.

The events in Ferguson these last few weeks may seem far removed from us here on the South Coast, where race differences seem a secondary issue. We’re still focused on dealing with challenging economy, a struggle that embraces everyone without regard to race, creed or religion. But we’re well aware of the ugliness and division that persists in the United States. Black-white relations have changed, but there remains huge debate over whether that change has brought actual improvement or simply painted a façade over deeply rooted feelings of distrust and fear. These tensions don’t get much

attention here, or at least are not revealed. But we know they exist, open and raw, in too many cities in this country. That’s why the AP photo from Nov. 25 riveted us. In the shot, Portland Police Bureau Sgt. Bret Barnum hugs 12-year-old Devonte Hart. The young man had been holding a “Free Hugs” sign in front of a police barricade, and tears were streaming down his face. Barnum had seen Hart’s sign – and his anguish – and asked for a hug. We understand that the photo has since been widely distributed on social media. It makes us feel good that Oregon is sharing such an image. We hope it helps the healing. AP Photo/Johnny Huu Nguyen‌

In this Tuesday, Nov. 25 photo, Portland police Sgt. Bret Barnum and Devonte Hart, 12, hug at a rally in Portland, Ore., where people had gathered in support of the protests in Ferguson, Mo.

Offering new care for women St. Vincent’s Hospital went from lifesaver to bankrupt to closed to construction site for luxury condominiums in what seemed the twinkle of an eye in lower Manhattan. Its end created a void. It was a place of births, last breaths, long and grueling nights, close calls and emergency care. But it is precisely because of that serKathryn vice that Ronald Rak LOPEZ found himself walking the emptied halls Columnist of St. Vincent’s four years ago. Rak is the CEO and president of St. Peter’s Healthcare System in New Jersey. What he saw saddened him: derelict operating rooms, empty offices, vacant hallways; a place of aid and healing beginning to uneasily vanish. As he was told the story of what had happened by a hospital administrator, he asked about what the void created by the hospital’s absence meant for people in New York, who might be abandoned along with the building. She pointed him to “a little project we started in Midtown ... called Gianna.” The Gianna Center cares for women in a way that is foreign to much of health care today. Rak went immediately to the Gianna Center that day, and St. Peter’s would soon bring Gianna under its wing, seeing it as not only “critical to the care of women in New York City,” but as possibly the “genesis” of something more, Rak says. That was the beginning of the National Gianna Center for Women’s Health, which has expanded from Manhattan to 14 cities, building a business model and even undertaking legislative outreach so that alternative health care, rooted in Catholic social teaching but (as the Gospel teaches), not exclusive to Catholics, can be accessible. The Gianna Center exists in no small part to serve as an open door to women facing unplanned pregnancies, offering support and counsel that often goes by the wayside in secular hospitals. The Gianna message, Dr. Anne Nolte, Gianna’s director, explained, is: “We’re going to make sure you’re healthy and your baby is healthy and do whatever it takes to help you get through this.” Whereas many hospitals may offer the easy fix of abortion, a solution that often brings an unacknowledged load of further trauma, Gianna offers hope, help and life. During his time as archbishop of New York, Cardinal John O’Connor asked any pregnant woman in need of help to come to the Catholic Church, which would help. He established a group of nuns, the Sisters of Life, to do just that. Cardinal Timothy Dolan has renewed that plea and pledge, and, with the work of the Gianna Center, is able to see that promise fulfilled and to give new life to ministries that would otherwise be abandoned: women’s medical care that affirms their dignity and embraces life. Rak points to the possibility of transforming women’s health care in America. This from a Church, he points out, that is still often painted as anti-women, even as modern popes have stressed the importance of the female perspective. Gianna may just be leading a whole new feminist movement, one, with doctors like Anne Nolte, in a revived tradition of the sisterhood that built St. Vincent’s in the first place.

Letters to the Editor Why all the flag fuss?

‌Why should we “move forward on flag change”? On Nov. 22, The World editorial board reminded us that 23 years ago flags were erected along the Coos Bay Boardwalk as “tribute” to “34 nations around the world” and to acknowledge that the port is open. Tribute? Which of the Webster definitions? If flags were necessary to show the port open to the world by paying tribute to 34 of the 248 countries of the world, Wim deVriend is correct in his “Jobs Messiahs” book; the port was doing a shabby marketing and managing job. The World considers flying various flags a “necessary expression of the city’s soul.” Huh? The World acknowledges the city council promise of five years ago; that only the U.S. flag would fly over the boardwalk until such time that there were no U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Pentagon has reported that this country is years away from total troop

withdrawal; if ever. Coos Bay city government should keep its promise to active duty military and vets of the community. Apparently city government has identified infrastructure requiring repair, and planned remedies are known. Potholes have been filled. Apparently agreements with Jordan Cove Energy that benefit the people are in place and the CEP that will benefit a few, not the taxpaying majority, is complete. Possible tax relief has been identified. And having remedied the cigarette smoke close to the library problem, elected representatives now have time for the important stuff; considering flag changes recommended by a “subcommittee” of unidentified political appointees. The city council again seeks public input on the flag matter. Isn’t one time enough? Southbound travelers can’t see the flags. Most alert northbound drivers look along the road, not at the tall flags. Which of the 249 flags shown at www.cia.gov (search for The World Fact Book) should fly over the boardwalk?

Mexico? Canada? Who shall we offend with a variety of flags changing every six months? There are thousands of battle scared vets residing in our community who would not be supportive of removing old glory to fly the rising sun, or the flag of China. Do remove the tattered Fisherman’s Wharf flag soon. There are professional politicians among us who would have the tribes flag fly over the boardwalk in addition to our forests and roads. Why? The local tribes fly the U.S. and tribal flag only. Fred Kirby Coos Bay

Obamacare’s effect on the middle class ‌Few truly appreciate the enormous economic benefits the Affordable Care Act will deliver to the American people over time, the middle class included. But you’d expect New York’s seasoned Democratic senator, Charles Schumer, to “get it” rather than belittle the 2010 federal health care law as a political inconvenience for his party. Amazingly, Schumer recently complained that reforms affected only “a small percentage of the electorate.” Has he any idea what’s going on — I mean beyond the calculations of the most recent election, the planning for the next? A time-honored way to freak out the middle class is to call a government program a plan to “redistribute” income to the less fortunate. Obamacare’s foes never miss the chance. Schumer plays into that narrative. Anytime you help people obtain benefits they couldn’t afford before, money is going to move. There is redistribution all around us, in Social Security, in Medicare, in farm subsidies, in the tax code.

George W. Bush and a Republican Congress pushed through a Medicare drug benefit for which the poor paid almost nothFROMA ing and richer HARROP beneficiaries paid more. And Columnist because these modest sums funded little of the program, almost the entire cost was shifted to the taxpayers. The Medicare drug benefit was redistribution big-time. There is indeed some redistribution in Obamacare. When you include the value of health coverage, the reforms boost income in the bottom fifth of earners by at least 6 percent, according to The Brookings Institution. This number would have been higher had 23 states not rejected the law’s offer to cover more of the working poor under Medicaid. Whose income is being sent to the less wealthy? Those in the top three-quarters, Brookings

says, though their income loss is proportionally quite small. Bear in mind that government subsidies are available to folks earning up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level. That means the help goes well into the middle class. The soaring cost of medical coverage deserves much blame for today’s stagnant wages as employers take it out of workers’ paychecks. The Affordable Care Act is already credited with starting to curb the rise in health care spending. It stands to reason that companies will eventually pass some of the savings on to their employees. The health reforms redistribute a lot more than money. They expand peace of mind and freedom to start a business. Knowing that an insurer can’t drop your family when a member gets ill is priceless. Under the old regime, even the well-to-do couldn’t get coverage if someone had a pre-existing condition. And there’s the redistribution of opportunity. Many Americans not cushioned by wealth nevertheless dream of founding

their own company. They continue working for others rather than lose their family’s health benefits. We call this “job lock.” Offer them dependable, affordable health coverage and many will take off, leaving job openings for newcomers. Meanwhile, the structure of work is changing. As companies depend more on part-time labor, more workers must stitch together several part-time jobs, none offering health benefits. Many positions are now being filled by independent contractors — that is, people who work for themselves. Both groups need a way to obtain coverage at reasonable cost. The rich can pay for their own health care, and the destitute get it free. The assurance that a medical crisis won’t sink a family is a gift to the middle class. So the Affordable Care Act is not some distraction in the quest for more jobs and better pay. It is more jobs and better pay. It’s an economy less burdened by a bankrupting health care system. It is big, and even our politicians should know that.

Stoic in the face of orders ‌DEAR ABBY: Since the moment my oldest son, “Ryan,” enlisted in the U.S. Army, our family has been concerned he would be deployed. Although Ryan graduated from high school near the top of his class and had prepared for university, his Dear plans were bby thwarted when deployment orders came to face off with ISIS in a combat engineer role. He soon Jeanne leaves for the MidPhillips dle East. A b b y, I need your insight in understanding why I am not falling apart. My other children are, my relatives are, and people I speak to are stunned that I’m holding it together. I try to explain that I support my son and must be strong for my family, but am I in denial? Everyone else is falling apart while I, who adore him and can’t envision a life without him, seem to be holding steady. What’s going on with me? Am I a flawed mother? I feel like I’m disappointing others who would prefer to see a soldier’s mother grieve and agonize over her son’s departure, anticipating the worst. Your thoughts are most welcome. — BAFFLED IN THE SOUTH DEAR BAFFLED: You are not “flawed.” Not everyone handles emotionally charged situations in the same way. While you may be numb with shock, you may also be calm, stoic and not show your feelings openly. It’s also possible that you may be “postponing” any negative emotions until if and when it’s necessary to experience them. My reaction is that no one should judge you — least of all yourself right now. DEAR ABBY: I’m the father of a beautiful, intelligent 9-year-old daughter I’ll call Stella. About three years ago, her mother married a man from an affluent family and moved three hours away. In order to be closer to Stella, I moved there as well. I have been divorced for six years now, and my relationship with my daughter has not improved during that time. I spend every Thursday afternoon with her and every other weekend. She recently joined a basketball team, and I go to her practices and games. My biggest concern — and pain — is, whenever Stella is with me she cries for her mother. It hurts, because I have tried hard to foster a relationship with my daughter and have been unable to. I took her to Disney World and she spent half the time crying. I ask myself if I am only hurting her or if I should continue to see her. Can you give me some advice? — DISAPPOINTED DADDY IN TEXAS DEAR DISAPPOINTED DADDY: Have you talked to Stella’s mother and asked her what’s going on with your daughter? By age 9 she’s a little old for separation anxiety. Not knowing everyone involved, my first reaction is to wonder if there has been parental alienation happening. My second is to suggest that you enlist the help of a licensed family therapist to find out why Stella acts this way every time she’s alone with you. If the problem is that she is immature, ride things out. If it’s something more, then it’s important you get to the bottom of it.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, right, stands with Trish Dziko, co-founder and executive director of the Technology Access Foundation Academy in Kent, Wash., during an assembly Monday. Jackson spoke at length about a grand jury’s decision not to indict Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson, who is white, for the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown and he was in the Seattle area to urge more hiring of minorities by high tech companies such as Amazon and Microsoft.

Jesse Jackson urging tech jobs for minorities ‌SEATTLE (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson called for more peaceful protests against the Ferguson police shooting but said the real agenda for civil rights in Seattle is increasing minorities employed by high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Nintendo and Amazon.com. Jackson visited the TAF Academy in Kent on Monday to highlight training needed to boost hightech jobs for women and minorities. The civil rights leader s p o ke a b o u t ra c i a l ly charged killings and led an assembly of students and teachers in a chorus call and response of “Hands Up. Don’t Shoot” as everyone raised their hands. Jackson is visiting Seattle after stops in California and Portland, Oregon, to focus on minority employment in the technology industry. He spoke Sunday at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Seattle about addressing root issues that give rise to racial and economic disparities, the seattlepi.com reported (http://bit.ly/1vbXtUn). “We do not have a

Eugene inmate accused of assaulting deputies ‌ UGENE (AP) — A E Lane County Jail inmate in Eugene, Oregon, is accused of injuring four deputies. The Register-Guard reports that 52-year-old Harry D. Brown of Eugene was arrested Friday for investigation of seconddegree criminal trespass. Deputies told Brown to come out of his cell to attend a pre-trial court session the next day. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Sgt. Carrie Carver says he became agitated and was escorted to an area away from the jail’s main holding room. Carver says four deputies were injured while trying to subdue him there. She declined to describe how the deputies were injured or how severely they were hurt. Brown remains in the jail.

Commercial truck driver killed on icy highway ‌BAKER CITY (AP) — Oregon State Police say the driver of a commercial truck has been killed in an accident on icy Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border.

The suit claims the man also molested a boy who was at the time 8 to 10 years old.

The Daily Tidings reports that her car was found abandoned in Shasta City, California. She is described as blonde with blue eyes, 5 feet 6 and 137 pounds.

‌C ORVALLIS (AP) — Officials who want to link Corvallis and Albany with a bike path could be on a collision course with farmers whose land it would cross. The Benton County planning commission meets Tuesday to consider a permit for the 9.5mile path, the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported. A lawyer for a dozen farmers says he would appeal if the permit is approved. Farmers say the path would expose them to trespassing, vandalism, and crop and equipment theft. They also worry about collisions between farm vehicles and cyclists and joggers, and they anticipate trail users will object to chemical sprays and farming practices. “You’re bringing people who are generally ignorant of what we do right into the middle of the program,” said Kenny Reynolds, whose family grows vegetables, wheat and grass seed on about 300 acres along the route. “That’s the biggest fear of most of the farmers.” Benton County officials say they are trying

Oregon officials: Keep helicopter fire base ‌E NTERPRISE (AP) — State and local officials are objecting to U.S. Forest Service plans to move a base used by firefighters who descend on ropes from helicopters into the woods of northeastern Oregon. The Forest Service wants to consolidate the base with a similar one that moved two years ago to La Grande, on the west side of the Wallowa Mountains. The Sled Springs Rappel Base is now at Enterprise, on the northeast side of the mountains. State and local officials say it’ll take longer for crews from the Grande Ronde Valley on the west side to the rugged country in Oregon’s northeast corner, the La Grande Observer reported. Firefighters who rappel from helicopters can be inserted into rugged country with greater precision than those who use parachutes. Having bases for such

firefighters dispersed in the region means getting to fires quickly, while they’re small, said Mike Shaw, Wallowa Unit forester for Oregon Department of Forestry. “If we are unable to do this, and fires get larger, Northeast Oregon landowners will end up paying more money in suppression costs or lose more of their timber and grazing resources,” he said. The move also will cost Wallowa County 19 jobs, with ripple effects such as lower school enrollment. “Collectively it’s death by a thousand cuts,” said County Commissioner Mike Hayward. The Forest Service has been considering the consolidation for years, in efforts to reduce costs and improve firefighting capability. An agency document said it determined seven years ago there was a “saturation of hosted rappel programs in Northeast Oregon.”

The path would generally follow a Union Pacific rail line and Oregon Highway 20 between the two Willamette Valley towns. For much of its route, the rail line would be between the highway and the bike path. One short stretch, within the Corvallis city limits, has already been completed. Planning for the rest of it was expected to be a lengthy process, stretching over two decades.

Carter tops Obama’s Huge numbers of displaced in Nigeria Pentagon short list creates crisis ‌YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — After the Nigerian government soldiers fled and the Islamic insurgents arrived in his village with guns blazing, Peter Fabian ran away along with dozens of other villagers. “Our homes have been burned, our churches,” Fabian said. “Many of our brothers have been killed.” Arriving in a camp here with all his worldly possessions reduced to everything he could carry, Fabian has joined the ranks of 1.6 million other Nigerians who have abandoned their homes amid attacks by Boko Haram. The massive displacement is creating a humanitarian crisis in Africa’s most populous nation. “After Boko Haram pursued the soldiers from our village, they came after us too,” Fabian recalled of the attack on Warabe, in the Gwoza mountain area of northeastern Nigeria. He and other villagers trekked across the border to Cameroon, where they stayed about one month. After living on the streets there, they hiked for two days back to Nigeria but did not dare to return to their homes. Fabian and several other travelers, all carrying their belongings on their heads, walked into the Damare camp as Associated Press journalists were visiting. Thousands of people are staying in fields, construction sites and other improvised settlements in Yola, the capital of Adamawa state in eastern Nigeria. The army of displaced Nigerians has been left largely to fend for itself to find shelter, food and

The people are flocking to relief centers across the country’s northeast, but find overcrowded facilities and a shortage of supplies. “They are exhausted and vulnerable. We must find ways to help and protect them,” said Christos Stylianides, the EU commissioner for humanitarian aid, who put the number of displaced Nigerians at 1.6 million. He urged national and international organizations to join forces and address “this displacement crisis of a growing magnitude.” Nearly 10,000 people, with gloomy faces, maimed fathers and tired mothers, are now at the Damare camp amid a lack of toilets. Sylvanus Papka, a top health official, said such a locale is a breeding ground for diseases.

Papka said outbreaks of diarrhea and measles are now under control thanks to a health clinic, but that the lack of sanitation poses a major challenge. The increasing influx of displaced people worsens an already fragile situation. Some had fled their homes months ago, but it is dangerous to return even if the army wrests control of towns from the Islamic insurgents. Towns like Chibok, where Boko Haram abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in April and struck again in November, aren’t safe. Meanwhile, more refugees are headed to Yola, including from Mubi, a town in Adamawa state that has been on the front lines. “There are more than 10,000 displaced people from Mubi who are currently trapped in Cameroon republic and we are expecting them at any time in the camp,” Papka said.

‌WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Pentagon official Ashton Carter has e m e rge d a s P re s i d e n t Barack Obama’s top candidate to become the next defense secretary, according to administration officials, putting him in line to take over a sprawling department that has had an uneasy relationship with the White House. Carter moved to the top of the White House’s short list after several leading contenders pulled their names from consideration for what is typically a highly sought-after Cabinet spot. Officials say Carter is well-respected both in the West Wing and at the Pentagon, where he served as deputy defense secretary until last year. If Obama moves forward with Carter’s nomination and he is approved by the Senate, the 60-year-old

wo u l d re p l a c e C h u c k Hagel, who resigned as Pentagon chief last week u n d e r p re s s u re f ro m Obama. H a ge l ’s re s i g n a t i o n highlighted ongoing tensions between the White House and the Pentagon, where top officials have complained about West Wing micromanagement and a lack of clarity in Obama’s policy-making. Perhaps as a result of those concerns, Obama found himself with a far shorter list of possible replacements for Hagel that the White House may have expected. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was among those considered for the Pentagon post, but told the White House he’d rather stay put, according to people familiar with the process. Michele Flournoy, one of Obama’s

Polish doctors treating child found in frost ‌WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Doctors in southern Poland are working to save a 2-year-old boy who was found unconscious after spending a frigid night outdoors, wearing only socks and a pajama top. Janusz Skalski, a doctor at the children’s hospital in Krakow, said Tuesday that the boy’s body temperature was 54 degrees and his heart was beating once every few dozen seconds when he was brought in on Sunday. Skalski said the child’s temperature has been raised to 97 degrees — nearly normal — and a regular heartbeat has been

restored, but the child’s condition remains to be seen. He is still attached to a respirator, but his kidneys, liver, intestines and lungs are working properly. Doctors are to begin Tuesday to slowly bring h i m o u t o f m e d i ca l ly induced coma. “It would be an absolute miracle if the child could be saved with no negative side effects,” Skalski said, but added that the boy’s recovery remains in doubt. Police officer Michal Godyn found the boy on Sunday morning lying face down in leaves under a tree by a creek in the village of Raclawice, northeast of

top choices, quickly took her name out of contention, in part because of concerns over the tight rein the White House has tried to keep on the Defense Department. And Sen. Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat and West Point graduate, also made clear within hours of Hagel’s resignation that he wasn’t interested. Defense analyst Anthony Cordesman said that as Obama approaches the end of his presidency, the Cabinet post is “not particularly desirable” for anyone with broader political ambitions. “It’s very unlikely you will get political visibility or credit for being the secretary,” said Cordesman, who works at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “There are just too many problems and uncertainties.”

The boy and two other children were spending Saturday night under his grandmother’s care. The woman said she did not see him leave, but the house was not locked, according to Godyn. The boy was found a few hundred yards from her house, in the direction of his home, Godyn said.

BASE Coast Guard was still there Continued from A1

Coast Guard spokesman Chief Warrant Officer Chad Saylor says it’s good news the crew members were rescued quickly; however, the Coast Guard still plans to close its Newport air station Dec. 15. “We are going to respond to calls for distress,” Saylor said from Washington, D.C. “In terms of what this changes, I don’t think it changes anything for now, at least. There is still a window for discussion, which I am sure is still ongoing. As of today there is no significant change to the decision to close on the 15th.” Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., issued statements saying the air station at Newport was a matter of life or death, and they were working to find a way to permanently keep it open. Madden said they were heading north out of Newport before dawn Saturday to set 500 pots for the start of Dungeness crab season when they started taking on water and listing severely. Madden called the four crewmen out of their bunks, and before donning rain gear or boots, the men started cutting loose the crab pots stacked nine high on the main deck. Madden put the boat into a circle course to try to shift the weight of the water, but to no avail. Madden said he has no idea where the leak was. It was not in the engine room or the compartment containing steering gear, which had bilge pumps. It may have been in an empty fuel tank, water tank, or fish hold. When the 10-foot swells started coming over the main deck and about to come in the wheelhouse, Madden said he radioed the Coast Guard they were sinking, described the boat and gave its position.

Rain brings hopes, fears to Calif. Storm expected to bring muchneeded moisture, possible mudflows ‌LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Pacific storm moved into drought-stricken California on Tuesday, bringing hopes for much-needed moisture but fears of mudflows on wildfire-scarred hillsides. Heavy rain began falling overnight in Northern California, and the southern part of the state saw sprinkles around dawn, but the strongest downpours were expected later in the day. Storm watches were issued for a large swath of the Sierra Nevada, where a huge amount of the state’s water supply is normally stored as snowpack. Significant accumulations were predicted but not enough to be a drought buster. Any delight over the prospect of beneficial precipitation was tempered by concerns about the threat of debris flows from the many areas of California where wildfires have burned away vegetation that would keep soil stable. Residents prepared by placing sandbags to protect properties in Southern California foothill cities, where some communities below steep mountains have long lived with concrete barriers lining streets in hopes of keeping debris flows out of homes. Bill Golubics said he would heed warnings and evacuate his home in the Ventura County city of Camarillo, site of a fire last year that burned nearly 40 square miles of dry brush. “Looks like most of my neighbors have left already,” Golubics told KABC-TV, pointing out large rocks sitting on loose soil along on a slope above his home. Voluntary evacuations also were planned in Orange County’s rural Silverado Canyon, where mudflows were feared following a blaze that stripped hillsides bare in September. The rain comes on the heels of a weak storm Sunday, which was enough to block Pacific Coast Highway west of Malibu with a flow of mud from a section of the steep Santa Monica Mountains denuded by a 44-square-mile fire last year. The muck was cleared but debris basins that overflowed were still full and will keep the highway from reopening anytime soon. “We’re going to have to wait until the next storm passes,” said Patrick Chandler of the California Department of Transportation. The back-to-back storms are helping some cities in northwest California reach normal rainfall amounts for the year, or even better, but the reservoirs and Sierra snowpack that provide much of the state’s water remain far short of what they should be after three years of intense drought. The state Department of Water Resources reported the Sierra snowpack, which counts most for the state’s water supply, was at 24 percent of normal for this time of year. Rain so far, at this early point in California’s wet season, has yet to make much of an impact on the state’s main reservoirs. Lake Shasta and Lake Oroville have less than 50 percent of their usual water levels for the start of December, while Folsom Lake stands at 59 percent, National Weather Service forecaster Eric Kurth said. “The good news is there’s more storms on the way,” Kurth said.

I‌ n Crimea, change of leaders means grab for property YALTA, Crimea (AP) — One day in October, a dozen armed men in masks drove up to the gates of Yalta Film Studios. They weren’t actors, and this was no make-believe. It was a hostile takeover. “They forced all the e m p l oye e s o n to t h e ground, sealed off the premises and halted the work of the studio,” said owner Sergei Arshinov. The studio, nestled in the hills overlooking the Black Sea, is just one of thousands of businesses seized from their owners since Crimea was annexed by Russia eight months ago. Crimea’s new proMoscow leaders say the takeovers, which they call nationalizations, are indispensable to reverse years of wholesale plunder by Ukrainian politicians and oligarchs. But an Associated Press investigation throughout this peninsula the size of Massachusetts found many instances of less noble practices: legal owners strong-armed off their premises; buildings, farms and other prime real estate seized on dubious pretenses, or with no legal justification at all; nonpayment of the compensation mandated by the Russian constitution; and targeting of assets belonging to or used by the Crimean Tatar ethnic minority and the pro-Kiev branch of the Orthodox Church. In a preliminary estimate, Ukraine’s Justice M inistry told AP that around 4,000 enterprises, organizations and agencies have had their property expropriated.

Kurdish female fighters play major role in defending town

KOBANI, Syria (AP) — On the front lines of the battle for Kobani, Kurdish female fighters have been playing a major role in helping defend the Syrian town from an onslaught by the Islamic State extremist group. Pe r v i n Ko b a n i , t h e 19-year-old daughter of a farmer, is one of them. She is part of a team holding an eastern frontline position that comes under regular attack from the extremist fighters, who have been trying to seize the town since midSeptember. The Islamic State group has declared a self-styled caliphate in areas under its control in Iraq and Syria, governing it according to its violent interpretation of Shariah law. The Kurdish men and women fighting in Kobani are determined not to lose the town to the extremists.

Suspected Somali Islamist rebels kill 36 in northern Kenya NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Islamic extremists from Somalia killed 36 quarry workers in northern Kenya early Tuesday, targeting non-Muslims just like an attack 10 days ago on bus passengers. The killings happened in Mandera County near the border with Somalia and the attackers escaped, said Kenyan police chief David Kimaiyo. The group al-Shabab, which has been battling for years to establish hardline Islamic rule in Somalia, claimed responsibility

for the killings. Pe te r Nd e r i t u , wh o works at the quarry, said a group of about 50 heavily armed people walked into their camp next to the quarry at 12:30 a.m. as the men were sleeping and fired warning shots. Nderitu said when he heard the shooting he ran and hid in a trench from where he could hear his colleagues being asked to recite the Shahada, an Islamic creed declaring oneness with God. Then gunshots followed. He said he rose from hiding two hours later when he was sure there was no more movement. He said the bodies of his colleagues were in two rows and that nearly all had been shot in the back of the head.

Wife of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi detained in Lebanon BERIUT (AP) — Lebanese authorities detained a wife and suspected son of the leader of the Islamic State group several days ago, and she is being questioned, two senior Lebanese officials said Tuesday. A military official said the woman and child were detained about 10 days ago while carrying fake identification cards. Both officials refused to give further details about the woman who is believed to be one of the wives of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group’s reclusive leader. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. The announcement of the arrest comes amid attempts to reach a prisoner-exchange deal between Lebanese authorities and the Islamic State group and the Nusra Front,

Earth since ’92: 0.6 degrees hotter, more Obama: Wants to avoid ‘militarized’ wild weather WASHINGTON (AP) police culture — In the more than two decades since world leaders first got together to try to solve global warming, life on Earth has changed, not just the climate. It’s gotten hotter, more polluted with heat-trapping gases, more crowded and just downright wilder. The numbers are stark. Carbon dioxide emissions: up 60 percent. Global te m p e ra t u re : u p s i xtenths of a degree. Population: up 1.7 billion people. Sea level: up 3 inches. U.S. extreme weather: up 30 percent. Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica: down 4.9 trillion tons of ice. “Simply put, we are ra p i d ly re m a k i n g t h e planet and beginning to suffer the consequences,” says M i c h a e l O p p e n heimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University. Diplomats from more than 190 nations opened talks Monday at a United Nations global warming conference in Lima, Peru, to pave the way for an international treaty they hope to forge next year. To see how much the globe has changed since the first such international conference — the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 — The Associated Press scoured databases from around the world. The analysis, which looked at data since 1983,

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Monday he wants to ensure the U.S. isn’t building a “militarized culture” within police departments, while maintaining federal programs that provide the type of military-style equipment that were used to dispel racially charged protests in Ferguson, Missouri. Instead, the president is asking Congress for funding to buy 50,000 body cameras to record events like the shooting death of an unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown and look for ways to build trust and confidence between police and minority communities nationwide. He announced the creation of a task force to study success stories and recommend ways the gove r n m e n t ca n s u p p o r t accountability, transparency and trust in police. Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Monday new Justice Department plans aimed at ending racial profiling and ensuring fair and effective policing. “In the coming days, I will announce updated Justice Department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement, which will institute rigorous new standards — and robust safeguards — to help end racial profiling, once and for all,” Holder said in Atlanta.

A plan to repay your credit card debt ‌Facing your debts can be depressing for several reasons. First, all the stuff that caused the debt is not so wonderful and new as it used to be. And the interest rates ... Yikes! But the worst, the all-time most horrible Everyday thing about Cheapskate facing debt is the realization that given t h e p re s ent rate of repayment, that monster is going to hang Mary around and invade your Hunt l i fe l i ke a huge family of free-loading relatives, for a very long time. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you don’t have to spend the rest of your life aimlessly chipping away at that mountain of credit card debt. You can fast track your debt repayment and get out in record time. It takes a plan, a good strategy and determination. Here is a plan for wiping out your unsecured debts in record time: 1. Stop adding any new purchases to those credit accounts until they are at $0. If you don’t start with this first step, the plan will not work. 2. Add up the current THE FAMILY CIRCUS minimum monthly payments. Let’s say for illust ra t i o n p u r p ose s t h a t you have three credit card accounts and this month the three minimum amounts you must pay total $367. Determine that you will pay this same amount ($367 in this example) every month, even if your creditors reduce your minimum required payments as your balances decrease. 3. List your debts in order according to the number of months left to pay them off. For example, a debt to a department store of $80 with minimum monthly payments of $40 has about two months left. That one goes at the top of your list, with the others in order below. 4. As one debt is paid, apply its monthly payment to the next. Using our example above, that first department store debt will be paid in two months. What then? Should you take that $40 payment and go blow it on that great blouse you’ve been ogling? No way! You’re going to send the $40 to Debt No. 2, along with its regular minimum monthly payment. Increasing Debt No. 2’s payment by an additional $40 each month is going to get it completely paid off much more quickly, to say nothing of shocking the creditor right out of his mind. Then, when Debt No. 2 is paid, apply the $40 plus the old payment from Debt No. 2 to the next debt. And on and on until every single debt is at a $0 balance. Every month you pay the same total amount ( $ 367 i n t h e exa m p l e above) toward your debts. Of course, your number will be different, as $367 is only my example. Want an automated way to do this? See my Rapid Debt-Repayment Calculator Demo at DebtProofLiving.com. This a calculator MODERATELY CONFUSED that members of my Debt Proof-Living Family use to simply input the information on their credit card and other unsecured debts, hit “Submit” and the calculator creates their entire payback schedule. It’s amazing. Use the Calculator and you’ll know the exact date you will be free of those debts. The average time is 24 to 36 months. Paying off your credit card debt is going to give you a new outlook on life. Just imagine what you’ll be able to do when you no longer have to make those big monstrous payments toward that high-interest debt! I know you can do it, and can’t wait to hear that you have.

NASA launching new Orion on test flight MARCIA DUNN

AP Aerospace Writer‌

‌C APE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s quest to send astronauts out into the solar system begins this week with a two-lapsaround-Earth test flight. The new Orion spacecraft is not going to Mars just yet; Thursday’s debut will be unmanned and last just 4½ hours. But it will be the farthest a built-forhumans capsule has flown since the Apollo moon missions, shooting 3,600 miles out into space in order to gain enough momentum to re-enter the atmosphere at a scorching 20,000 mph. The dry run, if all goes well, will end with a Pacific splashdown off Mexico’s Baja coast. Navy ships will recover the capsule, a la Apollo, for future use. This initial Orion is rigged with 1,200 sensors to gauge its durability for the day when astronauts do climb aboard during the decade ahead. Advertised destinations include an asteroid to be corralled in lunar orbit for human exploration in the 2020s, followed by Mars in the 2030s. “We’re approaching this as pioneers,” said William Hill of NASA’s exploration systems development office. “We’re going out to stay eventually. ... It’s many, many decades away, but that’s our intent.” Lockheed Martin Corp. built the capsule and is staging the $370 million test flight for NASA. Orion is NASA’s first new spacecraft for humans in more than a generation, succeeding the now-retired space shuttles. Unlike the

The Orion Spacecraft test flight is scheduled to launch on Dec. 4 at Cape Canaveral, Fla. capsules under development by two U.S. companies for space station crew transport, Orion is meant for the long haul, both in time and space; it would be supplemented with habitats for potential Mars trips. “We need a spacecraft that’s going to be sturdy enough and robust enough” to carry astronauts well beyond low-Earth orbit for weeks and months at a time, said Lockheed Martin’s Bryan Austin, a former NASA shuttle flight director who will oversee Orion’s maiden voyage. “That’s how Orion really separates itself from the commercial field. They’re there to get you to station and back. Of course, we’re there to be hardened

enough to sustain it for that long duration.” For this orbital tryout, a Delta IV rocket will hoist Orion from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:05 a.m. EST, just after sunrise. The rocket, with Orion and its launch escape tower at the tiptop, stretches 242 feet high. Future Orion launches will use the mega rocket still under development by NASA, known as SLS or Space Launch System. The first Orion-SLS launch is targeted for 2018, unmanned, followed by the first piloted mission in 2021. No o n e a t NASA i s pleased with such a poky pace. At best, it will be seven years before

astronauts fly Orion — anywhere. By comparison, it took eight years from the time President John Kennedy announced his intentions of landing a man on the moon — before John Glenn had even rocketed into orbit — to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s lunar boot prints in 1969. Given the present budget situation, “it is what it is,” said Kennedy Space Center’s director Robert Cabana, a former astronaut. And the presidential election ahead could bring further delays and uncertainties. In any case, don’t confuse Orion with NASA’s old-time Apollo capsules. For one, the 11-foot-tall Orion is designed to hold

four astronauts, one more than Apollo. For relatively short outings of three weeks or so, Orion could accommodate six. “People often ask us, ‘Hey, this thing looks like a capsule, it looks like Apollo,’ and people will confuse that with ‘it’s not new,’ “ said Scott Wilson, NASA’s Orion production operations manager. While physics drives the capsule’s outer bell shape, “everything else in the capsule is state-of-the-art,” he said. “Everything, from the thrusters, from the environmental control systems, to the structure itself ” is benefiting from all the advances in technology, Wilson said. With no one on board, this first Orion

will have hunks of aluminum in place of seats for ballast, simulators instead of cockpit displays and, obviously, no life-support. The heat shield on Orion’s base, designed to protect the craft from the searing temperatures of atmospheric re-entry, is 16.5 feet across and is the biggest, most advanced of its kind ever made, according to NASA. On this flight, Orion will reach close to 4,000 degrees, not quite the 5,000 degrees that would be generated from a moon mission, but close enough for a shakedown. That’s why Orion will aim for a 3,600-mile-high peak altitude, more than 14 times higher than the International Space Station — to pick up enough speed to come back fast and hot. NASA is pulling out all the stops for Orion’s inaugural run. The space agency has teamed up with the nonprofit, educational Sesame Street Workshop to promote not just this mission, but the effort to send astronauts to Mars. Comics, video and graphics are building up the countdown. “The astronauts of the 2030s and beyond are today’s preschoolers,” NASA explains on its website. There’s even a new countdown clock to herald the event. Last week, Kennedy Space Center took down its familiar launch countdown clock dating back to the Apollo program; officials said it had become too expensive to fix and maintain. A new multimedia display went up in its place, just as long at 26 feet, but taller at 7 feet.

3 Hong Kong protest leaders Ebola death to surrender to police toll up, Sierra Leone needs more beds ‌H ONG KONG (AP) — Three founders of Hong Kong ’s pro-democracy protest movement called Tuesday for an end to street demonstrations to prevent more violence and take the campaign to a new stage, but it wasn’t clear whether student protesters, who make up the bulk of the activists, would heed the call. Professors Benny Tai Yiu-ting and Chan Kinman and Pastor Chu Yiuming said they planned to surrender to police on Wednesday to take responsibility for protests that have shut down parts of the Asian financial center for more than two months. Instead of street protests, the three said they hope to continue the campaign through networking among civic groups, community organizing and education in democracy and human rights. The three are founders of the Occupy Central movement, which is trying to force China’s government to scrap its requirement that candidates in inaugural 2017 elections for Hong Kong’s leader be approved by a panel chosen by Beijing. However, the three represent only one faction of demonstrators, most of whom are

Three protest leaders, from left, Chan Kin-man, Benny Tai Yiu-ting and Chu Yiu-ming, attend a news conference in Hong Kong Tuesday as they announce that they will surrender to police. students. Hundreds of demonstrators remain entrenched in the main downtown protest site, building tents, work tables and other infrastructure, even as energy has diminished on the streets since the first surge of demonstrations in late September. Joshua Wong, a prominent student leader, said Monday that he and two other members of his group would go on an indefinite hunger strike to press their demands. “We admit that it’s difficult in the future to have an escalated action, so besides suffering from batons and tear gas, we

would like to use our bodies to direct public attention to the issue,” Wong said Tuesday. “We are not sure if the hunger strike can put pressure on the government, but we hope that when the public realizes the student hunger strike, they will ask themselves what they can do next.” In the early hours of Monday, police armed with pepper spray, batons and riot shields clashed with activists carrying umbrellas as authorities moved to clear them out an area in front of the Hong Kong government complex where activist had been camped out.

T h e c o m p o u n d wa s forced to shut temporarily and the semiautonomous city’s Beijing-backed leader said public patience was wearing thin, adding that police would “continue to take decisive action to enforce the law.” In a statement read to reporters, Tai, Chan and Chu said their surrender also would serve as a “silent denunciation of a heartless government.” “Tomorrow’s battleground is expansive and now is the time to transform the people’s strength into a sustainable civil society movement, to sow the spirit of democracy deep into the community,” they said in the statement. Tai said it wasn’t clear whether police would simply send them home, or detain them for inciting the protests, which the Hong Kong and Chinese governments have denounced as illegal. While the trio’s call to end the protests threatened to fracture the movement, Tai denied they were abandoning the demonstrators. “We just urge the occup i e rs to co n s i d e r t h e importance to understand that the fight for democracy is a long battle,” he said.

Saudi IS supporters claim they shot Danish man ‌D UBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Supporters of the Islamic State extremist organization have released a video claiming responsibility for the shooting and wounding of a Danish citizen in the Saudi capital Riyadh last month. The Al-Battar Media Fo u n d a t i o n ’s v i d e o , released Monday, shows a gunman pulling up beside a vehicle and firing five times at the driver. The group identifies the target as Thomas Hoepner. It was not immediately possible to confirm the authenticity of the video. Saudi security officials had said that a Danish

man was shot while driving Nov. 22, and that he was treated for shoulder wounds. Security officials did not release his name and said the incident was under investigation. If confirmed, it would be the first attack on foreigners carried out by supporters of the al-Qaida breakaway group inside the kingdom. Al-Qaida militants seeking to topple the Western-allied monarchy launched a wave of attacks around a decade ago that killed scores of security forces and Westerners. Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard told reporters in Brussels Tuesday that “the Dane

is doing better”. He said the embassy in Riyadh is in contact with Saudi authorities investigating the case. Thies Broegger, spokesman for the Denmarkbased dairy cooperative Arla Foods, confirmed to The Associated Press that one of its employees was shot after leaving the office in Saudi Arabia, but declined to confirm the employee’s name or discuss the newly-released video. He said Arla Foods h a s s e v e ra l h u n d r e d employees in Saudi Arabia, mainly local staff, and that security has been stepped up. The video includes

audio clips of IS group leaders calling on supporters to launch attacks inside Saudi Arabia. A Canadian man was stabbed in a shopping mall in Saudi Arabia’s oil-rich Eastern Province over the weekend. Police arrested the assailant, but the motive remains unknown. Denmark, Canada and Saudi Arabia are part of the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against IS militants in Iraq and Syria. Saudi police say Islamic State supporters were behind an attack on Shiite worshippers last month that killed seven people in the eastern region.

‌DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Sierra Leone will soon see a dramatic increase in desperately needed Ebola treatment beds, but it’s still not clear who will staff them, according to the top United Nations official in the fight against the disease. Ebola has sickened more than 16,000 people of whom nearly 7,000 have died, according to figures released by the World Health Organization Friday. Sierra Leone is now bearing the brunt of the 8-month-old outbreak. In the other hard-hit countries, Liberia and Guinea, WHO says infection rates are stabilizing or declining, but in Sierra Leone, t h ey ’re soa r i n g . T h e country has been reporting around 400 to 500 new cases each week for several weeks. Those cases are concentrated in the capital, Freetown, its surrounding areas and the northern Port Loko district, which together account for about 65 percent of the country’s new infections, Anthony Banbury, head of the U.N. Mission for Ebola Emergency Response, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “The critical gap right now in those locations are beds. It’s as simple that: We need more beds,” said Banbury, who spoke by telephone from Ghana, where the mission is headquartered. Only about 350 of some 1,200 promised treatment beds are up and running, according to WHO figures. Five more British-built treatment centers will open next month, tripling the current bed capacity, according to the U.K.’s Department for International Development. One near the capital is already up and running.

Still, more beds alone are not enough. “We’re concerned that the partners who have signed up to operate the beds won’t be able to operate them in the numbers and timeline really required,” Banbury said. He is flying to Sierra Leone this weekend to address that problem. Sierra Leone is also dogged by unsafe burials. The bodies of Ebola victims are extremely contagious and the touching of dead bodies might be responsible for as much as 50 percent of all new cases, Banbury said. Cultural practices call for dead bodies to be washed, and women’s bodies are supposed to be prepared by other women. But with very few women on burial teams, Banbury said that it appears people are washing the bodies of women before they call for them to be taken away. Sierra Leone also needs more burial teams: WHO numbers show that only about a quarter of the teams the country needs are trained and working. The United Nations had hoped that by Dec. 1, the end of the outbreak would be in sight: Two months ago, it said it wanted to have 70 percent of Ebola cases isolated and 70 percent of dead bodies being safely buried by that date. That would have drastically reduced the two ways people get infected — through contact with the bodily fluids of sick people and corpses. World Health Organization numbers show they are significantly short of that goal and Banbury acknowledged that the overall goal would not be met. He stressed that tremendous progress has been made, and many places throughout the region would meet or even exceed the targets set.

wood shop, art, manufacturing, drama — all those things that those eighthgraders get to currently try out and see what they like to do.” Steve Delgado’s daughter is now a junior at Marshfield. Three years ago, she was part of the first eighth grade class to go to the high school. He was worried at the time, but said the transition was smooth. The Marshfield campus was at one time a 7-12 campus, said school board member Rocky Place. Harding was the junior high (grades 7-9) and Marshfield was a senior high (grades 10-12). That model wasn’t abandoned because it was

The lawmakers — from the country’s five cranberry-producing states, including Washington and Oregon — requested the USDA buy 1 million barrels. Although the purchase will be about two-thirds that amount, it still will be more than all the cranberries grown annually in New Jersey, the third-leading cranberry producer behind Wisconsin and Massachusetts. “If they did 50,000

Millicoma was built to take the pressure off the Marshfield campus. “For the greater part of the last century, the high school structure was 7-9 at the junior high and 10-12 at the senior high,” said Millicoma principal Travis Howard. “...I can honestly say, without a doubt, that the K-6, 7-12 model really speaks to the academic needs of students.” On the elementary side, Madison principal Jan Schock spoke up in favor of the preK-6, 7-12 model, pointing out that she would

Still, the cranberry inventory remains far higher than a healthy 40 percent, he said.

never put a kindergartner on the same bus as an eighth-grader. Karla Delgado, a Blossom Gulch third grade teacher, said a K-6 school builds a sense of community, since there are more opportunities for “buddy systems” between younger and older students. While the initial proposal estimated the new configuration would cost $44 million, school board member James Martin cautioned that that number is a huge estimate. Renovations would be needed at all three sites, though, since nearly every school facility is at least 10 years older than its 50-year lifespan. “ U l t i m a te ly, i n t h e

background of this, none of this happens without community support and none of this happens without a bond measure,” Martin said. Place emphasized this discussion is not solely a result of the enrollment spike the district has seen the past two years. “We can’t even plug in another computer in some places because it will blow the circuit breakers — and, by the way, we can’t get parts for that, because our equipment is outdated,” Place said of the aging facilities. “We’ve got to stop kicking the can down the road. These schools are not getting any better. There’s no timeframe on going out

for bond, but it needs to be sooner rather than later.” Tearing down existing buildings is a “strong possibility,” said Ariann Lyons, who has led the facilities discussion for the past few years as chair of the district’s facilities outreach committee. “ T h e fe a s i b i l i t y o f remodeling those schools and getting them up to HVAC and electrical code is extremely cost-prohibitive,” she said.

s tate’s largest teachers union. The proposal would not provide enough money for s chools to reduce class s izes, invest in arts and physical education or provide training for teachers, s aid Hanna Vaandering, president of the OEA. All those things are necessary to meet the state’s goal of a 100 percent high school g raduation rate by 2025, she said. “ We’re not investing in putting class size at a l evel at which students can really be successful,” Vaandering said. “That

needs to be addressed.” Kitzhaber acknowledged t hat his proposal shortchanged higher education, s aying he hopes at least $ 50 million more can be found. The presidents of all seven public universities released a joint statement saying his proposed $626 million for universities would not allow them to avoid tuition hikes or expand access. “ O re go n n e e d s to r ebuild a strong middle class with a workforce that is trained for today’s economy,” their statement said. “This isn’t free.”

Winter season starts THE WORLD

The Associated Press‌

Oregon State football coach Mike Riley waves to fans as the Beavers arrive at Reser Stadium before Saturday’s game against Oregon in Corvallis.

Oregon State, Riley look to the future ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press‌

‌CORVALLIS — Oregon State coach Mike Riley is facing a growing chorus of questions about whether his old-school offense can cut it in the Pac-12. Even Riley seems to be having his doubts. The Beavers went 5-7 overall this season and just 2-7 in the conference. The season ended with a thud in the Civil War, a 47-19 loss to Oregon. Riley is just 2-12 in his last 14 conference games dating back to last season. This season he had a talented quarterback in Sean Mannion, a perfect fit in the Beavers’ prostyle offense, who set the all-time conference record for career passing yards with 13,600 and a school record for touchdown passes with 83. But Mannion couldn’t carry a team that ranked 76th in the nation in total defense, allowing opponents an average of just over 406 yards, and 70th for total offense, with an average of 393.5 yards. “We’ll evaluate all the parts of the football end of it — what we do strategically, and how we can change to make us better,” Riley said. “We do that every year. But obviously right now it’s real important to take a good, hard look at that.” While the “Fire Mike Riley” movement is momentarily loud, it’s not very realistic. Riley has seven years left on his contract

and Oregon State really can’t afford to pay him off. And there’s the matter of location: It’s hard to fault Riley for the challenges of recruiting top players to Corvallis. With the help of Nike and Phil Knight, rival Oregon, ranked third in the Associated Press and coaches polls, has been able to draw players to Eugene with luxurious facilities. Winning has helped immeasurably, too. A more similar case in point is Washington State, where Mike Leach hasn’t been able to win more than four conference games in each of his three seasons since arriving in Pullman to make over the Cougars. Riley, if anything, has proven that he is a master of finding kids who aren’t heavily recruited and turning them into stars. Mannion is the latest example. And plenty of recent Beavers are seeing success in the NFL, including receiver Markus Wheaton of the Steelers, guard Andy Levitre of the Titans, defensive tackle Stephen Paea of the Bears and cornerback Keenan Lewis and receiver Brandin Cooks of the Saints. Oregon State’s two conference wins this season came against Colorado and, most surprisingly, then-No. 7 Arizona State. It was the high point of the Beavers’ season and another in a string of big upsets in Corvallis that the team has become known for. But the Beavers lost close games at home to Utah, California and Washington State.

In all three games, Oregon State had the lead in the fourth quarter. “We’ll look back at a lot of probably what we could say are missed opportunities. We would have liked to have done a way better job of keeping some of that momentum from the Arizona State game,” Riley said. “We’d like to turn the clock back and play some of those other games where we were ahead in the fourth quarter and finish them better.” For now, without a bowl game to prepare for, all Oregon State has is the future. Nine of 11 starters on defense were seniors, so that will no doubt be a focus for Riley and his staff in the coming months. Luke Del Rio, son of former NFL linebacker and current Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, appears poised to take over for Mannion at quarterback. Del Rio is mobile, and Oregon State could try to capitalize on that skillset by introducing more spread offense elements. And the Beavers have a good recent record of rebounding: After going 3-9 in 2011, the team went 9-4 the next season. “I think the future is very bright,” Mannion said. “We had a lot of young guys playing this year, especially on offense and have all gotten better as the year has gone on. This is a great program with a great coaching staff, from top to bottom, and the players work very hard. ... I have total faith that everyone will continue to work hard.”

Ducks get a second shot at Arizona ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press‌

I‌ t’s a rematch. Although Oregon always preaches looking ahead to the next “nameless, faceless opponent,” even Ducks coach Mark Helfrich says playing the in the Pac-12 championship on Friday against Arizona has more significance. That’s because Oregon’s lone loss this season came against the Wildcats back on Oct. 2 at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks were already buzzing about Arizona just minutes after their Civil War victory over rival Oregon State on Saturday night. “We talked a little bit about preparing to give somebody our best shot. I would have said it about whoever was next,” Helfrich said about his postgame message to the Ducks. “But certainly our guys know the ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda’ of some of that night.” Arizona (10-2, 7-2) clinched a spot in the league championship game this past Friday, when UCLA fell to Stanford and the Wildcats defeated Arizona State 42-35. The Ducks (11-1, 8-1), who had earlier claimed the Pac-12 North, capped their regular season with the 47-19 victory over the Beavers in the 118th Civil War game. The win held Oregon at No. 3 in the AP Top 25 on Sunday. The Ducks are ranked No. 2 in the

Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon celebrates with fans after the Wildcats beat Arizona State on Friday to earn a spot in the Pac-12 championship game against Oregon. College Football Playoff rankings behind Alabama, meaning that if they can beat Arizona they’re all but assured to be one of the four teams to make the cut for the first playoffs. Arizona jumped four spots to No. 8 in the latest AP poll for the team’s highest ranking since 1999. The Wildcats are at No. 11 in the CFP rankings, which will be updated today. “The preparation is the same and that will be my message to the team today,” Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said Sunday. “We talk about keeping the main thing the same, which is just getting ready to work every

day, practice the way we practice, focus on your opponent and don’t worry about things you can’t control.” That approach has worked just fine for the Wildcats in preparation for the Ducks for the past two seasons. Back in October, freshman Nick Wilson ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass from quarterback Anu Solomon in a 31-24 victory over the then-No. 2 Ducks. Terris Jones-Grigsby plowed into the end zone from a yard out for the tiebreaking touchdown with 2:54 left, and Arizona held on after sacking Heisman hopeful Marcus Mariota

and recovering his fumble. In 2013, the Wildcats intercepted Mariota’s pass on his first play from scrimmage, ending his Pac-12 record streak of 353 passes without a pick, and went on to rout then No. 5 Oregon 42-16 in Tucson. It was the Ducks’ first loss to an unranked team since 2009. Mariota wore a brace on his knee in that game and later it was revealed that he had partially torn his medial collateral ligament in a game four weeks before. Mariota, who had six touchdowns — four via pass and two keepers — in the Civil War victory over the Beavers, was staying on script for the Pac-12 championship. He said the Ducks would “continue to approach it like any other game.” “We’re just going to play our game. Arizona did a great job setting and dictating tempo in the last meeting,” he added. “If we go out and execute to the best of our abilities and execute the game plans that are put in front of us, we should hopefully be successful.” But Oregon wide receiver Byron Marshall wasn’t shy about addressing what the rematch really means to the Ducks. “Just to know that you lost to somebody, it just sits there and sits there,” Marshall said. “You move on, but you never forget. Now we have a time to right our wrong.”

‌The fall sports season on the South Coast just ended Saturday, but it’s already time for the next season to start.

Spurs hand 76ers their 17th straight loss ‌P H I L A D E L P H I A — Kawhi Leonard scored a game-high 26 points and had a crucial three-point play in the final minute to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the winless 76ers 109-103, extending Philadelphia’s franchise-worst losing streak to start the season to 0-17. The Spurs (13-4) played without stars Tim Duncan (rest) and Tony Parker (shoulder). Even without the duo’s more than 31 points out of the lineup, San Antonio had little trouble dispatching Philadelphia. Aron Baynes scored 15 points and Manu Ginobili and Cory Joseph each added 14 for San Antonio, which won its eighth straight. Leonard also had 10 rebounds while tying a career-high in points. Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Alexey Shved chipped in 19 points for Philadelphia. The 76ers also were short-handed, as leading scorer Tony Wroten (knee) missed his second straight game and rookie first-round pick Nerlens

Noel (hip) sat after getting injured in Sunday’s practice. Philadelphia became just the fourth team in league history to open a season with 17 losses, joining the 1998-99 Clippers (0-17), 1988-89 Heat (0-17) and the 2009-10 Nets (0-18). The 76ers can tie the Nets for the worst start in NBA history on Wednesday at Minnesota with a potential chance to break the record at home on Friday against Oklahoma City. NUGGETS 103, JAZZ 101: Ty Lawson had 15 points and made a double-pump jumper to beat the shot clock with 29.6 seconds left that boosted Denver over Utah. The game heated up after Arron Afflalo was ejected and the Jazz stormed back from a 22-point deficit to tie the game in the final minutes. Lawson, who also had 12 assists, made the gamewinner from the left wing between two Jazz defenders. Gordon Hayward was blocked and Trey Burke missed a potential

4.2 seconds remaining. Alec Burks dunk at the buzzer completed the scoring. Wilson Chandler scored 10, Afflalo had 14 and Arthur added 12 for the Nuggets, who have won eight of their last 10 games.

WIZARDS 107, HEAT 86: John Wall had 18 points and 13 assists and Washington made its first seven 3-pointers to beat Miami. The Wizards held the Heat to 2-for-22 from beyond the arc for the game.

DeAndre Jordan had 13 rebounds and 11 points for the Clippers, who won their fifth in a row following their 6-1 trip and beat Minnesota for the 10th straight time. Shabazz Muhammad had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who beat the Lakers 120-119 at Staples Center just three nights earlier with the help of a missed 3-point shot by Kobe Bryant at the final horn. Andrew Wiggins, the first overall pick in the draft, scored all 14 of his points in the first half. Ex-Clippers point guard Mo Williams, playing for his third different club in three seasons since leaving Los Angeles, had seven points and seven assists.

DALLAS — Chad Morris knew he wanted the SMU job the minute it opened. Maybe it was because Clemson’s offensive coordinator from the past four seasons is a Dallas native. Or maybe because he used to ride school buses to old Texas Stadium and watch the Mustangs play when he was growing up. “This is the opportunity I thought, ‘This is it,’” Morris said Monday at an introductory news conference on campus, surrounded in a rotunda by administrators, players and SMU’s Hall of Fame basketball coach, Larry Brown. “This could be the one.” The 45-year-old Morris spent 16 years as a high school in Texas, going 32-0 and winning consecutive state championship at Lake Travis in the Austin area before going to Tulsa as offensive coordinator. He spent the last four seasons at Clemson, helping the Tigers to a 41-11 record, the 2011 ACC championship and four bowl berths with an up-tempo spread offense that previously produced some of the top high school quarterbacks in Texas.

TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa fired coach Bill Blankenship on Monday, three days after the Golden Hurricane wrapped up a second consecutive losing season. The Golden Hurricane finished 2-10, with a 49-32 home loss to East Carolina on Friday night. Blankenship took over at his alma mater in 2011 after Todd Graham left for Pittsburgh. He went 19-8 in his first two seasons, including a Conference USA championship in 2012. The program has crashed the last two seasons. Tulsa was a preseason favorite to win Conference USA last year and went 3-9. This season, the Golden Hurricane moved to the American Athletic Conference but Blankenship couldn’t turn things around. The 54-year-old Blankenship is an Oklahoma native and played quarterback at Tulsa from 1975-79.

UAB students try to save football ‌B IRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Scores of students, alumni and athletes marched to the administration building at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and rallied for hours Monday in response to reports that officials will shut down the football program. Chanting “We want football” and “We are UAB, We are Birmingham,” demonstrators demanded that UAB President Ray Watts come outside to discuss the future of the program, which earned a possible bowl appearance with a win on Saturday.

Watts never showed before the protest concluded, and school officials didn’t respond to a request for comment. Protesters said they would return Tuesday. “I’m going to fight for this school and I could care less what people think. I believe in my heart that it’s right,” said Zac Woodfin, who played at UAB and is now an assistant coach. Much of the demonstrators’ anger was directed toward University of Alabama System trustees, who control campuses in Birmingham, Huntsville and Tuscaloosa. Trustees

previously blocked UAB’s efforts to construct a new stadium and hire Jimbo Fisher, now the head coach at Florida State. Officials have said there are evaluating the viability of UAB football, and coach Bill Clark told ESPN.com on Sunday that he expects the school to end a program that has struggled financially. Clark later tweeted: “Contrary to news, We haven’t heard any decision about our program. We are still fighting!” In its first season under Clark, UAB (6-6) is eligible for a bowl game for the first time since 2004.

Browns debate whether Jets run wild, but Dolphins earn victory to start Hoyer or Manziel BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press‌

‌E AST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — It’s all in the mindset. “Scratch, claw, bite, kick, whatever you have to do make a play and win,” Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake explained after Monday night’s dull but effective slugfest with the New York Jets ended in a 16-13 Miami victory. “It’s December,” added rookie receiver Jarvis Landry. “The only thing that matters is winning, no matter how you get it done.” The Dolphins found the right formula to stay in the AFC playoff race: Simply let the Jets run the ball all night, and wait for New York to make mistakes — something the Jets have done quite well all season. Caleb Sturgis’ third field goal, from 26 yards with 1:57 remaining, gave Miami (7-5) the comeback victory over its archrival. New York (2-10) rushed for 277 yards on 49 carries, but made enough key errors in the second half to lose. “Can’t believe we’re 2-10,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said, shaking his head and pausing. “It’s a joke.” The Dolphins remained a factor in the wild-card race thanks to special teams; Landry’s eight receptions; Lamar Miller’s 4-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter; and plenty of defense when the Jets needed to pass. New York’s Geno Smith threw only 13 times, fewest in the NFL this season, and gained 49 yards. The usually reliable Nick Folk missed two field goals. All of that offset a season high on the ground as Chris Johnson had his best performance for the Jets with 105 yards. “We had to draw a line

Miami running back Lamar Miller leaps over New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson for a touchdown during the fourth quarter Monday. in the dirt. No more,” Wake said of his team’s stinginess after halftime. “We came out in the second half scheme-wise the same, but guys played the way they’re supposed to play.” Sturgis also made field goals of 43 and 44 yards. After trailing most of the way, Miami tied it on Miller’s run with 10:24 remaining. That brought the loudest cheers of the night; thousands of Dolphins fans at MetLife Stadium braved the wet, windy conditions. Jets problems with penalties on special teams hurt them all night, and a holding call against Saalim Hakim set up the Dolphins at New York’s 39 on the tying drive. On the winning possession, backup tight end Dion Sims had catches of 18 and 17 yards. The Jets kept pounding the ball effectively. They even got into field goal position after Miami made it 13-13. But Koa Misi’s sack pushed New York back to the Miami 27 and Folk missed wide left for the second time. Folk had made 18 of 20 entering the game. That’s the way the Jets’ season has gone, of course. “I feel sick,” Ryan said.

“We can’t buy a win.” Early on, Greg Salas, with his fourth team in four pro seasons, scored his first career touchdown. But the receiver didn’t get it through the air, instead scoring on a well-conceived reverse on which the Dolphins had no one close to him until he reached the 2. He dived into the end zone to cap an 85-yard drive, but that ended his night; Salas hurt a hamstring. Sturgis missed a 43-yard field goal on the next possession for Miami, further boosting New York’s confidence. The Jets took the ball into Dolphins territory for the third successive series, and got more points on Folk’s 40-yard field goal. As New York kept grinding away on the ground — it had 210 yards rushing in the opening half — it also ate up the clock. But Folk missed from 48 yards and Miami took advantage on Sturgis’ 43-yard field goal to end the half. S t u rg i s a d d e d h i s 44-yarder to start the second half, and Folk followed with a 45-yarder that bounced off the crossbar and through, making it 13-6.

‌B EREA, Ohio (AP) — Quarterback Brian Hoyer is positive he should be the starter for the rest of this season. He should be the one leading his team to the playoffs. He’s convinced. The Browns aren’t as certain. A day after he was benched by coach Mike Pettine in the fourth quarter of a loss at Buffalo, Hoyer said Monday that he hasn’t lost any of his confidence despite three straight poor performances and believes he should keep his job over rookie Johnny Manziel. “You don’t get to 7-5 in the NFL just lucking into it,” Hoyer said. “It’s been a lot of hard work, and I think I’ve proven that I’ve gotten us to this point. I feel like I can carry us through the next four games.” Hoyer was replaced by Manziel in the fourth q u a r te r o f S u n d a y ’s 26-10 loss to Buffalo after throwing two interceptions, continuing a pattern of bad games over the past month. In his past three games, Hoyer has thrown just one touchdown pass with six interceptions and the Browns have scored just 36 points. Pettine has not yet decided who will start this week against Indianapolis. He’ll meet with his staff — and general manager Ray Farmer — today and intends to inform Hoyer and Manziel of his decision Wednesday. Pettine said he’s not leaning in either direction, and insists the choice comes down to one standard. “I’ve said it a million times,” he said. “Who gives us the best chance to win this weekend?’ Period.” T h e B r o w n s ( 7- 5 ) remain in the thick of the AFC playoff race, but

Pettine said Cleveland’s postseason hopes won’t affect whether he sticks with Hoyer or switches to Manziel, who came in and sparked a “stagnant” offense on Sunday. “For us involving the playoffs, we have to win and that’s the bottom line,” Pettine said. “It’s not like anything beyond that would influence the decision. It’s ‘Who gives us the best chance to win this weekend?” It’s that simple. It makes it easy when you look at it like that and shut out everything else.” As Hoyer has done all season — after a win or loss — he was at his locker Monday to discuss the previous day’s game. For the first time since September, he walked away not knowing if he’ll be doing it again next week. Hoyer, though, isn’t worried about anything other than getting ready for the Colts. He’s the starter, and that’s the starter’s duty. “I’m studying my tape on Indy, and I would do the same if I wasn’t,” he said. “That’s just the way I’ve always prepared. For me, nothing’s changed. I go about my business the way I handle it every week, and that’s his right. He’s the head coach. He gets to make those decisions.” Pettine acknowledged the Browns discussed making a move at quarterback following a 23-7 loss to Houston on Nov. 16. Hoyer threw a franchise-record 30 incompletions that day while being harassed by J.J. Watt and the Texans’ defensive front. In his first season as an NFL head coach, Pettine hasn’t been faced with a tougher decision than the one he’s about to make. He’s conflicted.

“I don’t know where I want to go, and it’s certainly important,” he said. “We’ll spend a lot of time on it. I’ll lean on the people I trust to help make it.” Up until his recent slide, Hoyer had earned the trust of Pettine and his teammates. He hasn’t completely lost it, and Cleveland’s issues are not specific to the quarterback position. Hoyer has spent the season trying to hold off the immensely popular Manziel, whom the Browns drafted in the first round to be their future quarterback. Hoyer may have finally lost the fight. Browns right guard John Greco appreciates what Hoyer has been up against. “Give the guy credit. He’s got a lot of things he’s battling,” Greco said. “He feels like he’s the guy and we do, too, and it’s his job. And he’s been our leader all year, but decisions are out of our hands, and we’re going to roll with it no matter what they choose.” For Hoyer, there’s a bottom line, too. He’s helped get the Browns, who had lost at least 11 games in each of the past six seasons, back in the playoff hunt. No, he doesn’t run like Manziel or have as strong an arm, but he’s won and that should mean something. “We’re 7-5 here,” he said. “We won three games last year here when I started, so 10-5 as a starting quarterback, that’s not bad.” NOTES: Browns WR M iles Austin remains hospitalized in the Buffalo area with a kidney injury sustained Sunday. Pettine doesn’t know when Austin, who had seven catches for 86 yards, got hurt.

Quite a catch

Where In The World? — Italy

Coos Bay chef Jardin Kazaar competes in World Food Championships CARLY MAYBERRY The World‌

‌With a world class culinary competition now under his belt, Coos Bay’s own chef Jardin Kazaar is back home for the holidays and hoping to lavish local residents with more of his signature fusion fare. Kazaar just competed in the World Food Championships in Las Vegas as one of the world’s best seafood cooks fighting it out for the title of “world seafood champ.” Kazaar placed 16th overall. The live outdoor event televised on A&E had the food connoisseur facing more than 400 competitors overall, some of which have been featured on The Food Network’s “Chopped” and Fox’s “Kitchen Confidential.” From those, the

field was broken down to 45 and then whittled down to 10 finalists from each division: Seafood, burger, barbecue, sandwiches, chili and desserts. “The competition was probably the most intense I’ve ever been in when you consider that first you had to qualify and then you knew quickly you were going up against really top notch professionals from all over the world and from network shows,” said Kazaar. “We knew we had to put forth our best and take it to an extreme degree.” The “we” Kazaar refers to included he and his sous chef Rudy Zamora, a retired San Bernardino, Calif. sheriff. The two spent six days in a 10-foot by 10-foot “Kenmore kitchen coliseum” outdoor space under Vegas’ Fremont Street Experience. Two of those days involved intense time grilling, sauteing and simmering his entree dishes judged on execution, appearance and taste. They included his signature See CATCH, C2

‌ robust Italian dinner feels A just about right for Christmas. It’s rich and comforting and — particularly in the case of our lobster manicotti — decadent without being fussy. We start our manicotti with a lobster and ricotta cheese filling, but if lobster is too much trouble (or not in the budget) just substitute cooked and peeled shrimp. You also could make this dish vegetarian by skipping the seafood entirely and using well-drained chopped and cooked spinach. Whatever you use, a zippy — but not scorching — fra diavolo sauce ties everything together wonderfully. And to help keep your holiday running smoothly, this dish can be prepared the night before and refrigerated until ready to bake.

LOBSTER MANICOTTI FRA DIAVOLO Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 5 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, chopped 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or

less, to taste) 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 28-ounce can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes 2 tablespoons lemon juice Kosher salt and ground black pepper 7 ounces cooked lobster meat, drained, patted dry and roughly chopped (about 1 mounded cup) 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus extra for garnish 8-ounce box wide lasagna noodle sheets (10 sheets) Grated romano cheese (optional)

In a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until tender and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer half of the onions to a medium bowl. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic to the saucepan and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Add the lobster, ricotta and basil to the bowl of onion. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper. See MANICOTTI, C2

10 Things: 10 ideas for easy holiday party snacks ALISON LADMAN Associated Press‌

‌N o b o dy i s go i n g to blame you if your holiday party spread includes a bowl of mixed nuts, some grapes and a wedge or two of cheese. After all, most people enjoy them and are willing to nibble mindlessly on them. But it is easier than you think to elevate your feast by bolstering those tired party snack cliches with a few more creative offerings. You won’t need to work very hard at this. Most holiday party snacks can be assembled in less than 10 minutes, and many can be assembled ahead of time. And the only truly

important rule is to make sure everything is neat and easy to eat (one-handing it really is best for party food). To help get your party started, we’ve assembled some of our favorite snack ideas. We’ve even given you a way to jazz up your basic bowl of mixed nuts.

10 FRESH IDEAS FOR HOLIDAY SNACKS: • SPICED NUTS: Beat 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon of water until frothy. Add 3 cups of your favorite unsalted nuts and toss to coat. In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon fivespice powder, 1 teaspoon

cinnamon, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss the sugar mixture with the nuts and spread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with kitchen parchment. Bake at 350 F until fragrant and dry. • M A R I N AT E D O L I V E S : Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, the zest of 1 orange, 2 minced cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary. Toss with 2 cups mixed pitted olives. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving. • HONEYED GOAT CHEESE: See SNACKS, C2

Healthy roast for the holidays? With pork, easily 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

MELISSA D’ARABIAN

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Associated Press‌

‌Winter calls for savory roasts that fill our homes with luscious aromas that promise a comforting meal to bring the family together. The problem for the healthy eater is that most roasts get their flavor from silky (and so very saturated) fat marb ling. Yes, we can roast chickens and turkeys, but sometimes we crave thick slices of pork or beef. I have a solution: the pork tenderloin (not to be conf used with a simple pork loin). As the name suggests, this is one of the most tender cuts of pork, making it p erfect for roasted sliceand-serve bliss. T he pork tenderloin is a small roast (about 1 to 2 pounds per roast), which also means it cooks quickly, adding to its weekday convenience. As a bonus, the pork tenderloin is incredi bly low in fat, making it comparable to a boneless, skinless chicken breast. A 4 -ounce serving of pork tenderloin offers up over 20 grams of protein and less than 3 grams of fat! That’s the good news. The bad news is that this lowered fat can make the tenderloin extremely mild in flavor (read as bland) and prone to overcooking (read as dry). But I have solutions

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 pork tenderloin roasts (about 1 1/2 pounds each)

I n a small bowl, whisk t ogether the mustard, orange zest, paprika, thyme, rosemary, cumin, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub into the flesh of both pork tenderloins.

That was made with fresh corn tortillas, halibut chunks and grilled red cabbage topped with fresh mango salsa and cotija cheese laced inside a banana leaf. Kazaar’s other entree, his “structured build” consisted of fresh scallops infused with local 7 Devils vanilla stout. “We wanted to show Las Vegas that Coos Bay is on

the map and we rocked it,” said Kazaar. Judges at the high profile event included the likes of celebrity Robin Leach of the long-running television show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” But for Kazaar, who once ran the well-known Beaux Tie Grill in North Hollywood that catered to artists like Smokey Robinson and Al Jarreau, it wasn’t about the celebrity names involved but about taking his craft to a higher level. “It was a learning experience but also an experience of evolution, evolving within myself to become a more refined and exploitative chef,” Kazaar said. “You might be very good at one level but this was about

allowing yourself to evolve to another level and push the envelope and be OK with that.” Kazaar, who came to Coos Bay back in 1989 coowns and operates Coos Bay catering business Black Market Gourmet along with wife Kristin. He also serves as KCBY’s 5-minute gourmet when he’s not at his day job as a cardiac rehab nurse. He was recently voted “Best Chef” in The World’s annual poll “Best of the South Coast.” In general, he’s grateful for the immense support from a community that he said has given him the confidence to keep pushing his culinary abilities. “It’s really such an honor and a blessing,” Kazaar said.

“It really does take a neighborhood to raise a child and a lot of the angst and frustrated energy that I came out here with has been alleviated while I ventured into uncharted territory.” For now, he said he’s happy to be back home with the chance to brainstorm some new recipes with Kristin. “I’m looking forward to coming up with innovative and fresh dishes for my family and friends back here in Coos Bay,” Kazaar said. “I hope to not let them down.”

of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish. Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package directions, then drain well. Working quickly and carefully with one sheet of pasta at a time, lay a pasta sheet flat in front of you. Spoon 1/4 cup of the lobsterricotta filling across the bottom edge of the pasta

sheet. Roll the pasta away from you, forming a tube around the filling. Lay the rolled and filled pasta (manicotti) on the sauce in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining pasta sheets, filling and lining the manicotti in a row in the prepared pan. Spoon the remaining sauce over the tops of the manicotti.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and browning around the edges. Serve topped with basil and grated romano, if desired.

CHEESE DIP: Beat an 8-ounce block of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of milk until light and fluffy. Stir in 1/2 cup crumbled well-cooked bacon, 1/2 cup chopped dates and 2 thinly sliced scallions. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. • AVOCADO SHRIMP COCKTAIL: In a food processor, combine the flesh of 3 avocados with 1/2 cup cocktail sauce, 2 tablespoons horseradish, the juice of 1 lime, a splash of hot sauce and a bit of salt and pepper. Process until smooth, then transfer to a serving bowl. Top with sliced scallions and serve with cooked, chilled shrimp. • CANDIED KIELBASA BITES: Slice 1 pound of kielbasa into thin ovals. Arrange in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Sprinkle evenly over the kielbasa. Bake at 350 F until the slices are golden brown and the sugar is bubbly, about 30 minutes. • SMASHED LEMON CANNELLINI BEANS: Drain and rinse a 15-ounce can of cannellini beans. Pat dry with paper towels, then spread on a dinner plate. Roughly smash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Drizzle all over with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with grated lemon zest, chopped fresh oregano, coarse sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Serve with toasted pita chips. • MARINATED MOZZARELLA WITH ANCHOVY AND PEANUTS: Mash 3 anchovies with a fork in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup good olive oil, 1 pound cubed, drained fresh mozzarella, a pinch of red pepper flakes, 2 cloves grated garlic, 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves, and 1/2 cup lightly chopped unsalted peanuts.

Serve with bread for scooping. • SWEET AND SPICY CRACKER BARK: Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer covering the entire baking sheet. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more or less to taste), 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the crackers, spreading until the crackers are evenly covered. Bake at 350 F until golden brown and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup crumbled crispcooked bacon and 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds. Allow to cool completely, then break into bite-sized pieces.

Horatio Nelson, England’s most famous admiral who now looks from his column in Trafalgar Square down Whitehall toward the Houses of Parliament, said, “Something must be left to chance; nothing is sure in a sea fight beyond all others.” Bridge has an element of chance. Sometimes you must hope to find a favorable lie of the cards. However, if you can allow for a bad split, do so; you never know when the wind will blow from the wrong direction. In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the spade

queen. How should declarer continue? South has seven top tricks: two spades, three hearts and two clubs. He could establish three diamond winners, but he does not have the time to work on that suit. He will lose two diamonds and three spades. Instead, declarer must hope that he can take four club tricks. But how should he play that suit? If the five missing cards are dividing 3-2, as they rate to do, everything works. But what if they are 4-1? There is only one winning position: East must have a singleton eight or nine. So, South should take the first trick with his spade ace and lead the club 10. If West plays low, declarer runs the 10. If it loses, he needs a 3-2 split. Here, though, if West does not cover the 10, South will take the trick and cruise home. If West does cover, declarer wins with dummy’s king and plays a low club back to his hand. West takes the trick with his eight and returns a spade to dummy’s king, but South plays a heart to his hand, leads a club to dummy’s seven and claims.
