County energy ordinance in the works CARLY MAYBERRY The World‌

‌COQUILLE — A Bill of Rights calling for a new municipal governance controlling the transportation of fossil fuels through and into Coos County may land on the May voting ballot thanks to a group of local residents.

Mary Geddry and Patricia Gouveia are the chief petitioners behind the initiative that

declares the current municipal system of governance illegitimate and wants the creation of a new system recognizing a selfgoverning authority that, as they state in their petition, “ensures and protects rights to a sustainable energy future.”

I f pa sse d , t h e i n i t i a t ive would effectively put a halt to the transportation of fossil fuels through and into Coos County except fuels intended

for residential, commercial or industrial on-site use for power, heat and vehicle refueling. It also would ban any land acquisition for construction of a nonsustainable energy system.

“We thought we’d take it to the constitutional realm and establish a Bill of Rights that basically says we have a right to a sustainable energy future and that any development that infringes on those rights isn’t

acceptable,” Geddry said.

The petition, which was filed with the county clerk on Nov. 4, was just granted authorization for signature collection last week through the county clerk’s office. Geddry said that she, Gouveia and the extended group behind the initiative have about a third of the 1,521 valid signatures needed.

“This provides community rights to self-govern and that’s

the most powerful part of this,” Gouveia said.

She referred specifically to the Jordan Cove Energy Project and accompanying pipeline. She said she believes that a lot of decisions and meetings regarding the proposed liquefied natural gas terminal have occurred outside the public purview.

“The whole concept is based See Energy, A10

Pirate Underground a space for Marshfield’s creative crowd CHELSEA DAVIS The World‌

‌COOS BAY — In a place where belonging to something is so important, Marshfield High librarian Peggy Christensen noticed several students on the outskirts.

That’s why she applied for an Oregon Association of School Libraries grant last year. In her application, Christensen asked for funding to hire extra help to start an afterschool program for these kids. She received a $500 Connie Hull grant.

Christensen and former teacher Jeff Van Vickle launched The Pirate Underground.

“One of the things I wanted to improve upon was getting the library open after school hours,” she said.

The library closes shortly after school gets out every day.

Kids who don’t participate in sports or other clubs hang around the school or just go home.

Now, PUG meets for an hour after school Tuesdays and Thursdays. “ The readers today are typically not

‘groupers,’” Christensen said. “They kind of stand out.

“Sports is king around here. And our school does promote art, music, theatre ... but there are still so many kids who don’t fit anywhere.”

Attendance varies, but a core group of seven to eight kids keep coming back. “ It’s a nice break from doing school work,” said student Jessica Baimbridge, who brought her clarinet to the group to practice.

‌NORTH BEND — Members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union are continuing the fight against Southport Lumber Co. Members of the union gathered on Thursday morning, set up pickets outside the gates of Southport and had members picketing in boats on the bay.

Jill Jacobson, the secretary/treasurer for the union in North Bend, said this is about the fourth time members have picketed the lumber company, and they are not about to stop.

“We just hope to settle this as soon as possible so everybody can go back to work,” Jacobson said.

In 2004, the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay sold its barge slip on the North Spit to Southport. Before the slip was sold, the union was contracted for the barge work.

Southport and the port then received a $500,000 grant to fix up the slip so it would be able to handle several types of cargo.

Jacobson said the union and Southport had an agreement in 2012 that union members would be able to obtain work, but the company ended up using outside workers.

“They said they would employ 360 people,” Jacobson said. “We think they employed less than 60.”

The picket didn’t go as smoothly as the union had hoped. Jacobson said Southport called the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, and the Coast Guard was called for picketers out in boats. Jacobson said the reaction “was a little dramatic.”

An employee of Southport said the company did not want to comment on the picket.

“We believe it’s our jurisdiction, and it’s longshore jobs,” Jacobson said. “It’s our jobs.” ​ eporter Kurtis Hair can be R reached at 541-269-1222, ext.

Drama

Drama! Drama! Drama!

I don’t know why it is, but it seems that when the holidays are upon us, we have so much conflict. Conflict within and conflict without. In some cases the issues become of such magnitude that what should be a fun time is marked with the expression, “I’ll be so thankful when it is over.”

We need to get a grip on some things. It is unfortunate that this time of year which should be a season of joy and cooperation and remembrance of God and His great kindness to mankind that we have allowed thieves to enter our midst. Thieves steal all the joy and good will from us that we had been looking forward to. They accomplish this by getting our attention off the positive and good and focus on the material.

Another way they steal from us is by convincing us that what we are facing is so monumental we cannot see that there are those who are struggling to put one foot in front of another. let me suggest, that we get our focus off ourselves and see how we can reach out to someone and give help with their burden. once we start helping others our drama will be put in perspective and our joy will return.

Come worship with us sunday.

Taxation without education in Reedsport Our view More creative thinking could get Reedsport its tax due from SWOCC.

What do you think?

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

‌We wouldn’t be surprised if Reedsport residents are feeling a little consternation after reading our story earlier this week about taxes they pay to support Southwestern Oregon Community College.

Turns out Reedsport folks aren’t seeing much in the way of tangible assets for that tax obligation.

The tax district for the college extends from Reedsport all the way south to Curry County. Every property owner in the district pays about the same — 68 cents per $1,000 in property valuation, or about $150,000 a year — to support the institution.

For that tax dollar, everyone should get something. Residents in Coos Bay and North Bend have next-door access to the community college’s campus, classes and services. Folks in Port Orford and Brookings have satellite campuses that bring a little bit of the school’s offerings closer to them.

Reedsport used to at least have dual credit courses for its highschoolers, a benefit available for all high school students in the taxing district. Dual credit courses offer the advantage of secondary and college credit for taking the same course. That’s a pretty meaningful benefit — when it’s available.

Turns out, though, that Reedsport Community Charter School hasn’t been able to offer dual credit courses because it doesn’t have qualified teachers. The one teacher it did have retired recently.

To be fair, the Reedsport district is trying to get a teacher qualified to teach writing courses for next year. And the college has tried to offer courses with its own faculty when enough students enroll.

These efforts show that everyone is trying, but it seems pretty catch-as-catch-can.

Maybe there’s a way to get a little more creative. Maybe not worry about class enrollment

targets. Or maybe offer online courses for free for Reedsport students, instead of charging as they do now.

We know that Southwestern has a great capacity for getting things done. Witness the recent forestry program created in collaboration with Oregon State University, and its new bookkeeping and accounting certificate programs, and programs in digital design.

We’re not arguing for a new facility in Reedsport. It just seems that folks there should be getting more than the nothing they’re getting now since they pay the same rate as the rest of us.

Fat crab‌

The commercial crab season opened this week and first reports are the crustaceans are fat, FAT! “As far as the crab yielding goes, this is unheard of,” said Matt LeDoux, owner of the Fishermen’s Wharf seafood market, on D-Dock in the Charleston Marina.

“They are just so full of meat, and when you pick up the crab you can tell they are heavier for the size, so that’s a good thing.”

Yum! That should also justify the slight price increase this year for crabbers, $3.10 per pound, 45 cents up from last year’s starting price.

Need any more evidence?‌

Anyone who’s opposed to the Coast Guard plans to close the rescue station in Newport should’ve seen the story earlier this week about the crab fishermen who were rescued from their sinking vessel about 30 miles offshore from Newport last weekend. They were in the water for about 20 minutes. If things had gone to Coast Guard plan, they would’ve waited about an hour for rescuers to arrive from North Bend. “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 rescued skipper Kelly Madden. “It doesn’t make sense …” We’re still waiting to see if the Coast Guard changes its mind.

Flying ‘em proudly‌

The Coos Bay city council reached a nice compromise this week on which flags to fly along the boardwalk and Central Avenue. Leave Old Glory waving along Central, but tip an international hat along the boardwalk. We also like the addition of city and tribal flags and the tall ships flag to the mix.

That’s open mind thinking.

Bait and switch‌

Those salmon license plates we all thought we were buying to help fix culverts and improve salmon migration? Apparently, not so much. According to the Oregonian, we learned this week that the $9.5 million raised by the specialty vehicle plates has been paying the salary and office expenses for the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board’s grants administrator, and to fund grant projects that have nothing to do with culverts. While that’s cool according to state law, it’s not what nearly 32,000 vehicle owners were told when they bought the plates. Let’s call this one – Culvertgate.

Remembering the fallen U.S. military death tolls in Afghanistan as of Friday:

Letters to the Editor Salmon plates are a fraud

‌ re you a victim of the A salmon license plate fraud?

Remember how these monies were to directly benefit salmon habitat? They promised to use the money exclusively to undo roadblocks impairing salmon streams across Oregon. Culverts,

the drains that carry creeks beneath roads, frequently stop salmon migration to rearing habitat.

Since 2013, the Oregon Wa te rs h e d E n h a n ce m e n t Board hasn’t spent one dime of salmon plate money on fixing road impacts for salmon projects. Instead, drivers have paid the salary and office expenses of OWEB’s small

grants administrator in Salem.

Drivers are also set to pay for a $150,000 website improvement to make it possible to apply online for grants from OWEB, another project that won’t retrofit a single culvert.

In the real world this is called fraud.

Your Views

People should govern, not corporations Mary Geddry ‌A ll governments owe their existence to the people of the community that those governments serve, and governments exist to secure and protect the rights of the people and those communities. Any system of government that becomes destructive of those ends is not legitimate, lawful or constitutional.

“The Coos County Right to a Sustainable Energy Future Ordinance” All too often Coos County has been the victim of damaging legislation, decisions made by career politicians and corporate interests in Salem and Washington, D.C.; not the people who live here. These decisions are not only damaging our community economically and environmentally, but are also violating our rights.

We aren’t the only people feeling this disconnect. Across Oregon and the country communities are taking a dim view of distant bureaucrats, legislators and regulatory agencies making critical development decisions that impact the local economy and adversely affect quality of life.

A number of those communities aren’t waiting to be saved but are standing up to assert their right to local, community self-government, and adopting rights-based laws that ban self-serving corporate projects within their boundaries like hydraulic fracturing, factory farms, GMOs, highly toxic pesticides, and the disposal of

sewage sludge in order to protect their quality of life.

Naturally, not everyone agrees with the peoples’ right to local self-governance.

In June of this year the people of Grant Township, Pa. – following the lead of over a dozen other communities in five different states – decided they didn’t want toxic oil and gas waste from hydraulic fracturing (fracking) injected into the land within their community.

So they passed an ordinance, a Community Bill of Rights, to this effect. In the ordinance they assert the community’s inalienable right to clean air and water.

Pennsylvania General Energy, an oil and gas corporation, has now sued the township claiming the ordinance violates its constitutional “right” to inject fracking waste into the community.

The township is vociferously defending its ordinance in court and the battle will come down to whose rights get protected – the corporation or the people who make up Grant Township?

Landowners along the proposed Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline route feel their property rights may be violated if eminent domain is used to acquire their land against their wishes for the construction of the 36-inch pipeline.

Our local leaders and corporate funded booster organizations insist that even though this is our community, the choice of whether to site a LNG export terminal on the North

Spit (Jordan Cove) is not ours to make.

Those folks say that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will make this major decision on our behalf.

Sure, the people are allowed to comment into public record in hopes the concerns are given merit in the final decision, but this regulatory process is not about the people of Coos County being the decision makers.

For those who have been paying attention, it’s been made quite clear over the years and with many projects, including the Jordan Cove export terminal, that the regulatory process is about saying yes to corporate permits, not denying them.

So who is actually being regulated here – oil and gas corporations or the people of Coos County?

In Coos County we have a fundamental right to local self-government, allowing us to determine what is in our best interests. It is from that fact that a citizen’s petition initiative entitled “The Coos County Right to a Sustainable Energy Future Ordinance” is being circulated to be on the May 2015 ballot.

The ordinance will secure the right of the people of Coos County to be the decision makers about its energy future not corporations.

The ordinance will protect the rights of people and ecosystems in Coos County from non-sustainable energy projects, including the pipeline

and Jordan Cove LNG export terminal.

It would not only prohibit the sighting of such projects, but also the use of eminent domain – the taking of private property – on behalf of oil and gas corporations.

And like other community rights ordinances that have been adopted or are being proposed in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, and other counties in Oregon, it will refuse to acknowledge corporations as “persons” or as having “rights” greater than the community’s right to protect its health, safety and welfare.

If a handful of corporations have the constitutional “right” to frack, dispose of the toxic waste, and transport the oil and gas as they please all across the country, including in Coos County, our community vision of a sustainable energy future isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Our structure of law can either protect the “rights” of corporations or it can protect the rights of communities and nature, but it cannot do both.

It’s time to look beyond the old structure of law. A new paradigm is emerging — one that recognizes community rights, not corporate and governmental control.

Obituaries and State Trapped in my parents’ basement ‌ EAR ABBY: I am a D young adult, the eldest of four children. I sleep in a basement (furnished and livable), which serves as my bedroom. I have no job, no driver’s license, no friends who live close by.

I try to m a k e Dear my fambby ily happy, despite being underappreciated by my p a rents and siblings. matter Jeanne No how often Phillips I c l e a n the house, take the blame when I have done nothing wrong or try to be social and see eye to eye, I spend many nights crying like a baby in the inky darkness. A few times I have felt so down I have wanted to end my life.

I found an opportunity to get the training I need to accomplish the first half of my dream, and being a chef would help me earn the money I need to make the other half of my dream a reality. The thing is, I’m required to live on the property of the school.

I tried running away once and had to come back. I don’t want my parents to think I’m trying to run away from them again, but we don’t communicate well. How can I get them to see I’m trying to move toward my goal instead of severing family bonds? — BABY OF THE BASEMENT DEAR BABY: I don’t know how old you were when you ran away, but if you are close to 18 or older, then finding a way to be self-supporting should be your priority.

Family bonds are supposed to be bonds of love, not chains that prevent a person from achieving his or her potential.

If you can’t explain this to your parents, then you should enlist the help of another adult — a family friend or a relative — to help them understand that getting the training or certification you need for a career isn’t severing anything, but is to everyone’s advantage.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 12 years old and I still play with dolls. My older sister keeps telling me to grow up. I am embarrassed to ask my mom about it. Lots of girls at my school are growing up and they wear makeup, and I feel left out sometimes. Sometimes I throw tantrums.

I try to get good grades, but my sister puts me down by saying stuff like I’m stupid. I try to ignore it, but it just gets in my head and stays in there forever.

It’s hard growing up to be a young lady. I don’t know what to do with my life. I’m trying to grow up, but I can’t get out of my childish ways. Please help me, Abby. I would really appreciate it. — SAMANTHA IN KOKOMO DEAR SAMANTHA: Growing up isn’t easy.

It might help you to know that people don’t mature at the same rate.

This may have to do with emotional maturity and hormones. At 12, you are supposed to be mature enough to control your emotions and not have tantrums. Because you aren’t, it’s important you talk with your mother about your feelings.

As to your dolls — hang onto them if you wish.

People of every age collect and enjoy dolls, and it’s not a sign of immaturity.

As to wearing makeup, that’s a personal choice.

If you aren’t interested, it’s nothing to feel selfconscious about. More important than growing up fast is growing up to be a self-confident person who accepts herself for who she is.

Endangered Puget Sound killer whale found dead PHUONG LE

Associated Press‌

‌SEATTLE — The death of an endangered Puget Sound orca found on Vancouver Island in Canada might have been related to pregnancy issues, a research group said Friday.

The 18-year-old female that washed ashore Thursday was a member of the J-pod, one of three families of southern resident killer whales that spend time in the inland waters of Washington state and Canada.

“There were 78. There are now 77. We’re going down, and it’s tragic,” said Ken Balcomb, a senior scientist with the Center for W hale Research, which keeps a census of the animals.

Puget Sound orcas known as the J-pod swim together in Spieden Channel, north of San Juan Island. The death of an endangered Puget Sound orca found on Vancouver Island in Canada might have been related to pregnancy issues. he said, the whale’s “belly l ooks low and extended, a nd it could be that the fetus died in utero.”

Stephen Raverty, a veterinary pathologist with C anada’s M inistry of A griculture and Lands, will lead the necropsy. He said he has seen two photos of the stranded orca a nd also believes it was pregnant. “ Based on historical i nformation and clinical

observations, the whale’s death may have arisen from p regnancy or complications of birth,” he said.

Balcomb said the death was another blow to the population that was listed as endangered in 2005.

‌MEDFORD (AP) — Flashy electronic signs in Medford may become more subdued after a change in city rules, but the City Council has backed away from more extensive regulations.

The Medford Mail Tribune reports the city council has agreed to require an increased interval between video messages, five seconds instead of two.

But it backed away from a more extensive measure to regulate such things as brightness, animation and spacing between signs.

News Suspect arrested in Hillsboro hit-run ‌H ILLSBORO (AP) — A suspect has been accused of hit-and-run in a crash that broke the legs of an 82-yearold Washington County man who was crossing a road to his mailbox.

The victim, Walter Wiese, is listed in serious condition.

His wife, Ruth, told KGWTV he had surgery and he could come home in a few weeks.

The Washington County sheriff’s office said a tip led deputies Thursday night to 42-year-old Joe Louis Davis of Beaverton.

The sheriff’s office says the tipster told deputies that Davis drove a Mazda similar to one described in news reports and had left a nearby job site minutes before the crash, which happened about 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Deputies said they seized a damaged Mazda found in a garage.

Hermiston begins work on new venue ‌H ERMISTON (AP) — The city of Hermiston is building a center to house fairs, rodeos and events 30 years after buying the land.

The East Oregonian reports that local officials held a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday for the Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center.

The cost is estimated at $15 million.

Mayor David Drotzmann said the indoor events center will house events twice as large as can be accommodated by the current Hermiston Conference Center.

The current fairgrounds property downtown is slated for use in a high school expansion.

The city has long planned to move the fair and rodeo out of the downtown to resolve noise and parking problems. The new site, 75 acres, is south of the city’s airport.

The work is expected to be complete by the spring of 2016.

D I G E S T Teaching Fellows Federation went on strike Tuesday after contract talks stalled over medical and maternity leave benefits.

Union spokesman Gus Skorburg says support on the picket line remains strong.

The strike comes near the end of the fall term.

University administrators have been making plans to enter grades for undergraduate students who are taught by the striking graduate teachers, should the strike continue into final exams week, which starts Monday.

Acting Provost Frances Bronet called the strike “a temporary disagreement in a long, successful relationship between two parties. “

Oregon group forms to promote hunting ‌B END (AP) — A new group called “Hunting Works For Oregon” was launched Thursday to promote hunting and recreational shooting in the state.

KTVZ reports the group stresses the economic benefits of hunters.

One leader is Joe Davis who owns the Black Bear Diner in Madras. He says a lot of the customers he sees in hunting season are wearing blaze orange.

The group is concerned because of a downward trend in hunting — a 17 percent decline in the number of hunters since 2006, according to the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation.

An estimated 196,000 hunters in Oregon spend more than $238 million a year on lodging, food, gas and gear while paying more than $27 million in state taxes.

Job gains put US on pace for good growth

GOP: No meal change

‌WASHINGTON (AP) — A resurgence in U.S. hiring accelerated in November and put 2014 on track to be the healthiest year for job growth since 1999.

The gain of a robust 321,000 jobs — the most in nearly three years — put further distance between a strengthening American economy and struggling nations throughout the developed world.

The job market still isn’t yet fully healthy. But its steady improvement raises the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will start raising interest rates from record lows by mid-2015.

The unemployment rate remained at a six-year low of 5.8 percent, the Labor Department said Friday.

“These were boomlike numbers,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “They indicate that the U.S. economy is on very solid ground.”

Friday’s report also raised hopes that Americans’ pay might finally be starting to increase after

‌WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are making a final push this month to give schools a temporary break from healthier school meal standards.

The school meal rules, phased in since 2012 and championed by first lady Michelle Obama, require more fruits, vegetables and whole grains in the lunch line. The standards also limit sodium, sugar and fat.

Some school nutrition directors have lobbied for a break, saying the rules have proven to be costly and restrictive. House Republicans have said they are an overreach, and have pushed a oneyear waiver that would allow schools to opt out of the standards for the next school year if they lost money on meal programs over a six-month period.

The waiver language stalled this summer after the first lady lobbied aggressively against it and the White House issued a veto threat.

The Labor Department released employment data for November on Friday. barely budging since the Great Recession began seven years ago. The average hourly wage rose 9 cents to $24.66, the biggest gain in 17 months.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has cited stagnant wages as a key reason to keep rates low. Higher wages could lead to higher prices, and the Fed might feel compelled to raise rates to limit inflation.

Still, over the past 12

months, hourly pay has risen just 2.1 percent, barely above the 1.7 percent inflation rate. And economists note that inflation remains below the Fed’s 2 percent target and will likely stay tame because of lower energy prices. That might give the Fed some leeway to wait.

The Fed has kept its benchmark rate near zero for six years to encourage borrowing and spending.

Obama taps Pentagon physicist for DoD ‌WASHINGTON (AP) — The nomination of policy wonk Ashton Carter to lead the Defense Department marks the most significant change to Presid e n t B a ra c k O ba m a ’s b e l ea g u e re d n a t i o n a l security team in nearly two years. But there is little indication the shakeup portends a broader shift in administration policy — nor is it clear

that Carter can break into the president’s tight inner circle.

Obama announced Carter’s nomination at the White House Friday, praising the Pentagon veteran as an innovator and reformer who can quickly step back into an administration grappling with security challenges in the Mideast, Eastern Europe and elsewhere.

“When we talked about this job, we talked about how we’re going to have to make smart choices precisely because there are so many challenges out there,” Obama said.

Carter is expected to be easily confirmed by the new GOP-controlled Senate. Still, Republicans are eager to use his hearings as a new chance to

challenge Obama.

“Ashton Carter has the knowledge and capability to serve as secretary of defense during these d i f f i c u l t t i m e s,” sa i d Sen.

The county Board of Co m m i ss i o n e rs vo te d Thursday to gradually increase the wage for the lowest-paid in the county labor force, such as on-call and temporary employees like election workers.

The Oregonian reports about 150 now earn the county’s current minimum wage of $11.99 an hour. The county has more than 5,000 employees overall.

County Chairwoman Deborah Kafoury says Multnomah County is the largest public employer in Oregon to adopt a $15 minimum.

Suspect in 4 Portland robberies arrested ‌ REGON CITY (AP) — O A Portland man suspected in a series of bank robberies in the Portland area was arrested Thursday afternoon following the latest holdup.

Members of a U.S. Marshals Service task force located the 27-year-old man, Narong Duangchathom, and recovered evidence from the robbery.

NASA: ‘There’s your new spacecraft, America!’

Detectives meeting with possible Bill Cosby victim

‌C APE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s newest space vehicle, Orion, accomplished its first test flight with precision and pizazz Friday, shooting more than 3,600 miles out from Earth for a hyperfast, hot return not seen since the Apollo moon shots.

For a space agency still feeling the loss of its shuttles, the four-hour voyage opened a new era of human space exploration, with Mars as the plum. It even brought some rocket engineers to tears.

“There’s your new spacecraft, America,” Mission Control’s Rob Navias said as the unmanned Orion capsule came in for a Pacific splashdown after two orbits of Earth.

‌LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police detectives were meeting Friday with a woman who is a possible victim of sexual assault by comedian Bill Cosby, a department spokeswoman said.

Officer Jane Kim said detectives were meeting with the woman Friday but could not release any additional details.

Cosby The meeting occurred one day after Police Chief Charlie Beck called on anyone who believed they were victims of sexual abuse by Cosby to come forward, regardless of whether their claims were too old to be prosecuted.

An email message sent to Cosby’s attorney Martin Singer was not immediately returned.

Attorney Gloria Allred wrote in an email that she will make a statement Friday evening outside a Los Angeles police statement about the police inquiry.

Cosby was sued

NASA is counting on future Orions to carry astronauts out into the solar system, to Mars and beyond.

The next Orion flight, also unmanned, is four years off, and crewed flights at least seven years away given present budget constraints. But the Orion team — spread across the country and out in the ocean, is hoping Friday’s triumphant splashdown will pick up the momentum.

“We challenged our best and brightest to continue to lead in space,” lead flight director Mike Sarafin said with emotion as he signed off from Mission Control in Houston. “While this was an unmanned mission, we were all on board Orion.”

W. Michael Hawes, a former NASA official who now leads the Orion program choked up as he recalled the pre-shuttle days.

“We started with all the Apollo guys still there. So we’ve kind of now finally done something for the first time for our generation,” he said, pausing for composure. “It’s a good thing.”

Orion splashed down 270 miles off Mexico’s Baja peninsula, just a mile from the projected spot — “a bull’seye” according to NASA. Navy ships quickly moved in to transport the crew module 600 miles to San Diego, where it was expected Monday. From there, it will be loaded onto a truck and returned to Cape Canaveral just in time for Christmas.

Preliminary test reports were encouraging: Not only did the capsule arrive intact, all eight parachutes deployed and onboard computers withstood the intense radiation of the Van Allen belts surrounding Earth. What’s more, everything meant to jettison away did so as Orion soared into space.

“It’s hard to have a better day than today,” said a beaming Mark Geyer, NASA’s Orion program manager.

Sensors placed inside and out of the crew module will tell the full story: “Our big focus now is to get that data from those 1,200 sensors so they can pore over it in the next month or so,” Geyer said.

Tuesday by Judy Huth, who claims the comedian forced her to perform a sex act on him with her hand in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion around 1974 when she was 15 years old.

Cosby’s attorneys denied her claims in a court filing Thursday and accused her and her attorney of extortion.

H u t h ’s l a w y e r i n recent weeks increased a demand to stay quiet from $100,000 to $200,000, according to filings by Singer. The Riverside County resident also tried to sell her story about alleged abuse by Cosby to a tabloid a decade ago, which Singer contends undercuts her argument that she only recently discovered the psychological effects of the incident and is allowed to file a lawsuit under California law.

Cosby has been accused by more than 15 women in recent weeks of sexual misconduct, ranging from incidents of groping to incidents of drugging and raping. He has never been charged with a crime, and his attorneys have denied many of the allegations.

investigators had access to some witnesses who may be able to say whether Christie had a role.

Still, the Republican governor’s supporters say the report released this week clears him. But it’s not the final word on the scandal or whether it could derail his possible 2016 presidential bid.

The lawyer for the special joint legislative committee, Reid Schar, found no conclusive evidence that Christie was aware of the lane closures, but he said two former Christie aides acted with “perceived impunity” and with little regard for public safety when they ordered the lanes closed.

Driver charged with murder of K.C. teen ‌KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An SUV driver accused of deliberately running down a Muslim teenager in Kansas City was charged Friday with first-degree murder in a case that’s being investigated by federal authorities as a possible hate crime.

Ahmed H. Aden, 34, of Kansas City, was charged Friday in Jackson County in the crash outside a Somali community center that killed 15-year-old Abdisam a d S h e i k h - H u sse i n .

Prosecutors are requesting a $250,000 bond. No attorney is listed for Aden in online court records.

A probable cause

‌ ew York police N complain of being demonized NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Garner was overweight and in poor health. He was a nuisance to shop owners who complained about him selling untaxed cigarettes on the street. When police came to arrest him, he resisted. And if he could repeatedly say, “I can’t breathe,” it means he could breathe.

Rank-and-file New York City police officers and their supporters have been making such arguments even before a grand jury decided against charges in Garner’s death, saying the possibility that he contributed to his own demise has been drowned out in the furor over race and law enforcement.

Officers say the

statement said Aden was driving the sport utility vehicle that hit the teen as the boy got into a car Thursday evening. A witness reported seeing the teen “fly through the air” before the SUV ran over him. The teen’s legs were nearly severed, and he died in a hospital of his wounds.

Court documents said Aden crashed the SUV and got out of the vehicle with a knife. Occupants of the car told officers they followed Aden, and they pointed him out to police. One witness said the suspect swung what appeared to be a baseball bat at people.

outcry has left them feeling betrayed and demonized by everyone from the president and the mayor to throngs of protesters who scream at them on the street.

“Police officers feel like they are being thrown under the bus,” said Patrick Lynch, president of the police union.

The grand jury this week cleared a white patrolman, Daniel Pantaleo, who was caught on video applying what appeared to be an illegal chokehold on the black man.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said the case underscores the NYPD’s need to improve relations with minorities.

Half-million Filipinos flee approaching storm

500,000 flee as typhoon nears eastern Philippines; erratic path puts Manila on alert

Foreign minister says Australia won’t contribute to UN Green Climate Fund

‌ ANILA, Philippines — M Half a million Filipinos fled their homes as differing forecasts about the path of a dangerously erratic typhoon — one predicting it will graze the capital, Manila — prompted a wide swath of the country to prepare for a weekend of destructive winds and rain.

Typhoon Hagupit — Filipino for “smash” — was expected to hit the central Philippines late Saturday, lashing parts of a region that was devastated by last year’s Typhoon Haiyan and left more than 7,300 people dead and missing. The typhoon regained strength Saturday but forecasters said it will begin rapidly weakening as it approaches land.

“I’m scared,” said Haiyan survivor Jojo Moro. “I’m praying to God not to let another disaster strike us again. We haven’t recovered from the first.”

The 42-year-old businessman, who lost his wife, daughter and mother last year in Tacloban city, said he stocked up on sardines, instant noodles, eggs and

Hundreds of residents take shelter inside the provincial capitol of Surigao city close to central Philippines on Friday in anticipation of typhoon Hagupit which is expected to hit land Saturday afternoon. A wide swath of the Philippines, including the capital Manila, braced Friday for a dangerously erratic and powerful typhoon approaching from the Pacific, about a year after the country was lashed

Dozens of domestic flights were canceled and inter-island ferry services were suspended. About half a million people have been evacuated in Leyte and Samar provinces, including Tacloban, this time with little prompting from the government, said Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman.

showed residents in Tacloban stacking sandbags to block floodwaters. One McDonald’s store also was closed and boarded up.

During last year’s typhoon onslaught, most stores and supermarkets in the city were looted by residents as food ran out.

At least 47 of the country’s 81 provinces are considered potentially at high risk from Hagupit, officials said. The first one in its path is Eastern Samar province, where it is expected to make landfall late Saturday. It is then expected to cut across central islands

France agrees to compensate those deported in Holocaust Hundreds in US could get $100K payment JAMEY KEATEN and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press‌

‌PARIS — Thousands of Holocaust survivors and family members in the United States and elsewhere will be entitled to compensation from a $60 million French-U.S. fund announced Friday — reparations to those deported

by France’s state rail company SNCF during the Nazi occupation.

As part of the deal, the U.S. government will work to end lawsuits and other compensation claims in U.S. courts against SNCF, which is bidding for lucrative high-speed rail and other contracts in U.S. markets. State legislators in Maryland, New York, Florida and California have tried to punish SNCF for its Holocaust-era actions.

“This is another measure of justice for the harms of one of history’s darkest eras,” said the U.S. Special Adviser on Holocaust Issues, Stuart Eizenstat, who spent three years working with French officials on the agreement.

SNCF transported about 76,000 French Jews to Nazi co n ce n t ra t i o n ca m ps, though experts disagree on its degree of guilt. SNCF has expressed regret for what happened, but argues it had no effective control over operations during the Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1944.

The compensation fund will be financed by the French government and managed by the United States. The accord will be signed Monday in Washington, but it still must get approval from the French Parliament, which could take months.

France’s government has already paid more than $6 billion in reparations, but only to French citizens and certain deportees.

The new accord is to help

Hundreds of Americans and others deported by France’s state rail company SNCF during the Nazi occupation will be entitled to compensation under a new U.S.-French agreement. compensate Americans, Israelis and some others who were not eligible for other French reparations programs.

Patrizianna SparacinoThiellay, a French ambassador for human rights who worked closely with Eizenstat on the accord, said “hundreds” of people in the U.S. are eligible under the new fund as direct survivors or spouses, and several thousand could be eligible as heirs.

The money should break down to about $100,000 each for survivors and tens of thousands of dollars for spouses, said Eizenstat.

Only in 1995 did France acknowledge a direct role in the Holocaust, when then-President Jacques Chirac said the state bore responsibility. Subsequent compensation programs paid out compensation worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The German government has paid around 70 billion euros ($85 billion) in compensation for Nazi crimes, mainly to Jewish survivors.

Fra n c e a l re a d y h a s international accords with four countries — Poland, Belgium, Britain and the Czech Republic — over compensation for deportation victims. Friday’s deal aims to fill the remaining gaps in justice for others also affected.

The deal comes as France, home to western Europe’s largest Jewish community, is facing new concerns about anti-Semitism.

But its path thereafter is debatable.

Dr. Steven Godby, an expert in natural hazards at Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, said the Philippines experiences five to 10 cyclones a year on an average, the most hitting any country.

‌C ANBERRA, Australia — Australia will continue to directly pay for climate change adaptation in vulnerable South Pacific island nations through its aid budget rather than donate to a U.N. Green Climate Fund designed for the same purpose, the foreign minister said Friday ahead of climate talks in Peru.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said governments should judge for themselves whether bilateral action to reduce the impact of climate change on developing countries was a more efficient use of aid money than donating through the U.N. “The Green Climate Fund is about supporting developing countries build resilience to climate change. Australia is already doing that through our aid program,” Bishop told The Associated Press before leading the Australian delegation to Lima for a U.N climate summit.

“From my experience, bilateral work is able to customize responses when we’re working directly with another partner country,”

she said.

Rich countries have pledged about $10 billion to the recently launched Green Climate Fund, which is meant to become a key source of finance to help developing countries deal with rising seas, higher temperatures and extreme weather events.

A u s t ra l i a h a s b e e n accused of setting a poor example for other countries by failing to contribute to the fund. Bishop’s government has also been criticized for abolishing Australia’s carbon tax that was levied on the country’s worst greenhouse gas polluters until July.

It replaced the tax with a 2.55 billion Australian dollars ($2.14 billion) government fund to pay polluters incentives to operate more cleanly.

Bishop said Australia was on track to achieve its target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 12 percent below 2005 levels by 2020.

But she said the Australian delegation would not give the Lima meeting any proposed Australian emission-cutting targets beyond 2020.

“The message that I will be presenting on Australia’s behalf is that the new agreement should establish a common playing field for all countries to take climate action from 2020 and seek commitments from all the major economies to reducing emissions,” she said.

Third UN peacekeeper has Ebola ‌M ONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — A U.N. peacekeeper who contracted Ebola in Liberia will be flown to the Netherlands for treatment, a Dutch Health Ministry spokeswoman said Friday.

The Nigerian soldier is expected to arrive in the Netherlands this weekend and will go into isolation at the University Medical Center Utrecht, according to Inge Freriksen.

This is the third infection for the mission, which comprises about 7,700 troops and police. The previous two died.

Sixteen people who came into contact with the Nigerian soldier have been quarantined, the mission said.

Ebola has sickened more than 17,500 people, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. About 6,200 have died.

Creative Hoping to be a club in 2015 Continued from A1

“You’re sitting in a classroom for 45 to 50 minutes straight and here you get to do what you actually like.”

Christensen was thankful that the district offered funding to keep the program going this year.

Christensen’s library clerk, Anita McHaney, oversees the program now.

The program also got a $150 boost from the Bay Area Artists’ Association, which Christensen plans to use for art supplies.

“I hope there’s enough momentum that by next year it will be a club,” Christensen said. “We could have coding, music, fine arts, applied arts.”

So far, the group has focused on creative writing and art. Christensen also typically has her Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars in her office, adding some music to the program.

“We had this grandiose idea that we would have creative writing projects, student-led book clubs, artists coming in and mentoring the kids,” she said.

O n T h u rs d a y, J o a n Goodman-Fox, a Marshfield alumna and now member of the Bay Area Artists’ Association, led the group in a drawing exercise, zentangles, which consist of structured patterns on small pieces of paper.

“When I started art at Marshfield, I was never encouraged to be an artist,” Goodman said. “It’s given

me something to do, something to think about. When things got hard, I could lose myself in art.

“Art has been my way of dealing with a lot of it.”

She brought a motivational poster she had found, of a cat staring in a mirror and seeing a lion. It read, “What matters most is how you see yourself.”

That got some eye rolls and a sarcastic comment or two, but once the students got to work on their zentangles, the room fell silent — until Baimbridge and her sister began practicing their instruments and forensics team member Skyler Houghtaling told story after story, constantly cracking jokes.

“You’re in a molding stage in your life right now, figuring out what you want to be,” Goodman told the group.

Christensen attributed the program’s success to “the fact that many of our students want to belong to something, but they are not overly interested in the extracurricular sports programs, they were not accepted into non-sport extracurricular programs, or they could not commit.”

PUG has no requirements. Students don’t have to come, but it’s a place they’re always welcome.

“I just wanted kids who did not feel like they had a place to belong or a club to join, that they were welcomed in the afterschool library program,” she said. ​ eporter Chelsea Davis can R be reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 239, or by email at chelsea.davis@theworldlink. com.

A community should be looking to support and help one another but when a foreign corporation can come in and outmuscle local land rights ... that’s disconcerting.”

Geddry also said that she did not think Jordan Cove w as the answer to Coos County’s economic plight either. “ Tying and tethering our fortunes to a non-sustainable system in general is not the answer,” Geddry said. “Many communities have gone all renewable and they’re thriving and communities tied to oil and gas are in worse economic condition than we are.”

But Ofer Raban, a University of Oregon professor who teaches constitutional law, said that when it comes to a subject like fossil fuels, the federal government has authority to regulate. Even the state can do nothing, let alone a group of citizens wanting to declare a new self-governing authority.

“The federal government is a government of enumera ted power and where it has the power to regulate as in this area obviously the Constitution can not allow the states to conflict with what it’s going to do,” said Raban, citing the Supremacy Clause. “Simply put,

the federal law wins.”

While Raban acknowledged the legal complexities and complicated regulatory schemes involved w hen it comes to such issues as fossil fuels and l ocations of pipelines and the input from local authorities, he noted that at its root it is an issue that would call for a different constitutional amendment.

“It’s a matter of national i mportance and if you allow every municipality to assume sovereign authority over these issues it would mean that you don’t have national authority to regulate the economy,” Raban said.

In terms of other community movements trying to take the law into their own hands to ban a proposed gas pipeline, Geddry cited the Conestoga Township in Pennsylvania and, c loser to home, Douglas County.

S tacey McLaughlin, who is in the thick of that m ovement and against the Pacific Connector Gas P ipeline coming through h er property in Douglas County, said she resents what she referred to as “the individual not being seen as valuable as corporations.” “ That’s the sense that m any of us have in this c ountry — that we as

Need to sell something?

individual citizens are not seen to be as valuable from the decision making standpoint as our leaders.”

M cLaughlin, who has worked in Douglas County and in northern California in various government p ositions for the last 30 y ears and now runs her own consulting firm, said she’s not advocating for no government, but the right to self-govern. “ It’s about bringing it back to the people — not the state and federal governments and the megacorporations,” she said.

C o n s t i t u t i o n a l l aw expert Charles Hinkle said that historically the interplay of local law with state a nd federal law and the question as to how much a uthority a municipality has to take action has been controversial in Oregon. He referred to the home rule a mendment to the state constitution, which gives both states and counties a certain amount of autonomy in local affairs. But, e choing Raban, he reiterated that a city cannot enact something that contradicts or is inconsistent with state or federal law.

In terms of the renewable energy aspect, he likened the Jordan Cove situation to the controversial Keystone Pipeline.

will also use HealthCare. gov.

Cover Oregon officials are running an ad campaign on social media and television, and holding enrollment events to attract more previously enrolled people to sign up again.

“In Coos Bay, there’s a lot of interplay with fede ral, state and environmental laws, but with the same respect to Keystone, i f Congress decides that there’s going to be a pipeline from North Dakota to N ebraska, South Dakota can’t block it.”

Hinkle is a retired partner of the Portland-based energy and environmental law firm Stoel Rives, which was involved in the proposed liquefied natural gas facility in Astoria. He noted that there are times when enough individual opposition can preempt even the loftiest of plans.

“It got so complex that finally all the companies all gave up and abandoned the idea to put the plant there,” Hinkle said. “So if there’s e nough local opposition and they tie it up in court long enough these pipelines will go away.”

For her part, Gouveia reiterated her belief that at its heart, the initiative is about giving power back to the people.

“Of course Jordan Cove is the issue at the moment, but this initiative is aimed more at the fact that the community has the right to shape its environment and I don’t think that has happened,” Gouveia said. “ Communities are feeling like they’re just being preyed upon by large corporations because politicians are not looking out f or the people who’ve elected them.” ​ eporter Carly Mayberry R can be reached at 541-2691222, ext. 234, or by email at carly.mayberry@theworldlink.com.

Marshfield girls win with tough defense JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌COOS BAY — Marshfield’s girls were awful on offense in their season opener Friday against visiting Newport. But it didn’t matter, since the Pirates were so good on defense.

Marshfield forced the Cubs into 41 turnovers and also grabbed 28 offensive

rebounds in the 54-35 victory. The combination led to the Pirates getting 29 more shots than Newport, which more than compensated for Marshfield’s 25-percent shooting for the game.

The Pirates are confident the shooting will improve, starting with tonight’s home game against Philomath.

“It’s a lot of nerves,” Marshfield coach Bruce Bryant said, adding that the Pirates

often were out of rhythm.

“You’re anxious and want to score,” he said. “You rush things.”

The Pirates made enough shots to pull away after Newport pulled within 29-26 midway through the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Destiny Martinez.

Marshfield uses fast start to beat Newport in opener GEORGE ARTSITAS The World‌

‌COOS BAY — For the first five minutes of its season opener Friday, Marshfield’s boys basketball team looked in midseason form.

I n Marshfield’s first action since losing 48-38 to North Valley at Pirate Palace in the Class 4 A playoffs last March, the Pirates jumped out to a 12-0 lead against Newport and cruised to a 46-40 win to start their season. “ We’ve worked really hard a nd it showed,” said senior Hunter Olson, who dropped a game-high 16 points. “We still have stuff to work on, but we did what we were supposed to

do: run the ball.”

T he Pirates sank their first five shots from the field — Jake Miles hit two free throws as well — to force an early timeout from Newport head coach and Marshf ield graduate Josh Beaudry’s team.

“You’re going to see spurts l ike that because of our firepower we have and the balance of this team,” Marshfield head coach Doug Miles said. “They can all shoot it, they can all score and not very many are like that.

Now we need to sustain that.”

For a team that started the season in a 12-point hole, Newport showed impressive resiliency the rest of the first half.

After three straight 3-pointers — two from Jonathan Teod oro and one from Brenden T hurber-Blaser — the Cubs chopped Marshfield’s early lead in half, ending the first quarter down 17-11.

To start the second, Newport brought in a secret weapon of sorts, with Orlando Tapia scoring eight straight Cub points to knot the game up at 19 with just over six minutes until half.

F atigue was a factor for Lou Sennick, The World‌ M arshfield. Four of the five Pirate starters also started for Jakes Miles goes for two points but the Marshfield’s football team is fouled by Brenden Thurber-Blaser — Miles was starting as well but on the play Friday night in the Pirate See Boys, B3

Palace. The Pirates started their season with the home win over the Cubs.

Coquille 44, Myrtle Point 37: McKenna Wilson had 15 points to lead the Red Devils who overcame an early nine-point deficit on the road, wearing down the Bobcats with their pressure defense.

“We started well and we ran out of gas,” Myrtle Point coach Marty Stallard said.

The Bobcats had 23 turnovers in the second half, when C o q u i l l e o u t s c o re d t h e m 24-12.

Marina Wilson had eight points and Darian Wilson seven for the Red Devils.

Lyndzi Robbins led the Bobcats with 12 points.

“We’re going to get better,” said Stallard, who got his 500th career win Thursday at Camas Valley. “As soon as we get our conditioning going, we’ll be fine.”

Oregon routs Arizona to win Pac-12 ANTONIO GONZALEZ The Associated Press‌

‌SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Marcus Mariota made a strong final impression in his bid for the Heisman Trophy, and No. 3 Oregon left no doubt about whether the Pac-12 champions would stay alive in the chase for the national title.

About the only question now is who the Ducks will face next.

Mariota threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a career-high three scores, and Oregon all but assured itself a spot in the first College Football Playoff by overwhelming eighthranked Arizona 51-13 in the Pac12 title game Friday night. “ There are a bunch of big

smiles, and I’m proud of that,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said.

The Ducks (12-1) entered the week ranked second in the playoff standings and are expected to land in the Rose Bowl for the semifinals. Alabama (11-1) is No. 1 and TCU (10-1) is third foll owed by Florida State (12-0), Ohio State (11-1), Baylor (10-1) and Arizona (10-3), which is now just hoping to make a Jan. 1 bowl.

Even that is no longer certain.

On a rainy night in Silicon Valley, Oregon wiped out the Wildcats in front of a sparse but rowdy pro-Ducks crowd — announced as 45,618 — that sprinkled the red seats at the $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium bright yellow and green.

Mariota also boosted his credentials for college football’s most

prestigious award as the Ducks turned the patchy field into their personal playground.

Oregon outgained Arizona 617 yards to 224. The Ducks ran for 301 yards and held the Wildcats to 111 on the ground.

“This is a huge accomplishment for us,” said Mariota, who won game MVP honors. “Now we need to continue to improve and get better for whoever comes next.”

The victory avenged Oregon’s only loss this season — a 31-24 setback to Arizona on Oct. 2 in E ugene — and a 42-16 loss in Tucson last year that kept the The Associated Press‌ D ucks out of the conference Arizona’s Tyrell Johnson fumbles the ball as he is tackled by Oregon’s Ifo Ekprechampionship game.

Reedsport girls fall to Riddle Cavaliers build

a six-game winning streak

JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌R EEDSPORT — Reeds port’s girls opened the basketball season scoring the first six points against Riddle on Thursday.

The Braves weren’t able to sustain the early start, e ventually losing to the Irish 35-24. But Reedsport c oach Stu Richardson came away from the game happy, especially given the inexperience of his team.

“I was pleasantly surprised,” he said.

T he Braves were close to his goal of 20 or fewer t urnovers, were solid on d efense and showed a w illingness throughout the lineup to put up shots.

That was significant, since Richardson played 11 girls, i ncluding two freshmen and four sophomores. “ That’s themost girls I ’ve ever played in one game,” he said.

U n fo r t u n a te ly, t h e Braves didn’t shoot well, repeatedly missing open j umpers or shots inside.

Reedsport was just 11-for53 from the floor.

T hat will get better, Reedsport senior Britney Manicke said.

“As the season goes on, we’ll make more of those shots,” she said.

Manicke, the most experienced returning player, l ed the Braves with nine points and nine rebounds, using a height advantage she had on Riddle’s players.

Kezia Eunice added six points, including a drive to the hoop at the start of the fourth quarter that pulled the Braves within 26-21.

B ut Riddle scored five straight points to put the game out of reach.

A drian Chandler had a big game for the Irish, finishing with 14 points, eight rebounds and seven steals. Sarah Linton added n ine points and Moanna Gianotti had seven.

Riddle wasn’t much better than the Braves in terms o f shooting, connecting of 14 of 59 shots from the f loor. But the Irish shot 7 -for-17 from the free throw line and Reedsport was just 2-for-8 from the charity stripe.

“Free throws killed us,” Richardson said.

B ut the coach knows t here will be games like that. He said earlier in the week that this season will be about improvement for the younger players, especially early in the season.

To that end, Thursday was a great start. “ I think we did really well,” Manicke said. “We

played as a team.”

Reedsport visits Powers on Monday and Pacific on Tuesday.

Irish beat Braves with outside shooting JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌REEDSPORT — Last w inter, the most points Reedsport’s boys scored in a basketball game was 48.

The Braves matched that total in their season opener Thursday.

U nfortunately for the Braves, they weren’t able to keep up with a hot-shooti ng Riddle squad as the Irish left town with a 64-48 victory.

R iddle hit 10 of 20 3-pointers and had three p layers score at least 15 points. They also fought off a spirited Reedsport comeb ack spurred by a tough press.

“Our press was working good,” Reedsport’s Tyler T resch said. “It gave us momentum.”

B ut the Braves didn’t c onvert enough of their o pportunities, shooting j ust 21-for-62 from the floor, many of those from close range. “ We can’t miss wide open layins,” said Tresch, who led the Braves with 16 points.

Marquece Williams and Mike Mitchell added eight points each, the latter while battling painful leg cramps in the second half.

They also were part of the defense that forced 25 Riddle turnovers, including 15 steals.

But that wasn’t enough to counter the hot shooti ng of the Irish, who hit four straight 3-pointers in t he first quarter to go in

C handler Wilsey hit four of the 3-pointers and scored 18 points. Eugene H opkins had three more t reys and added seven straight free throws down the stretch after the Braves c ut what had been an 11-point lead to 47-44 on a basket by Tresch with 5:09 to go.

S eath Brown had 15 p oints for Riddle and g rabbed eight boards inside.

“We’ve got to play better defense,” Tresch said. “We can’t give up that many 3s.”

Despite the loss, there was a lot to be happy with.

Every Reedsport player made at least one basket. “ It definitely is better than last year,” Chris James said. “We started scoring more.”

A nd Reedsport coach Dan Kenagy saw the one t hing he most wanted to see.

“I can’t for one second f ault the effort of these

guys,” he said. “They gave tremendous effort.”

Reedsport hits the floor again next week with backto-back road games against the South Coast’s smallest two schools — at Powers on Monday and Pacific on Tuesday.

Aldridge, Lillard lead Blazers to Thursday win ‌PORTLAND (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points and 13 rebounds for this fourth straight double-double and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the I ndiana Pacers 88-82 on Thursday night.

was injured early on in the season — which definitely showed after the first quarter.

“It’s part of the rust,” junior Rylee Trendell said.

He finished with a doubledouble, scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds as the Pirates’ primary presence down low. “ I t ’s d i f fe re n t

t h e t h i rd a n d a d d e d another 10-point run early in the fourth.

By the end of the game, Katelyn Rossback had 16 p oints and Jade Chavez added 14. But they needed a combined 37 field goal

t hree straight and 12 of their last 13.

Rodney Stuckey had 16 points for the Pacers, who have lost three straight to open a four-game road trip.

The Pacers tied the score a t 64 early in the fourth quarter, but Portland built a 75-66 lead after Nicolas Batum’s 3-pointer and

Lillard’s jumper. Stuckey hit a jumper that pulled the Pacers within 83-80 with 5 3 second left, but they couldn’t get any closer.

T he game was marked b y heightened security when a group of protesters converged on the Moda C enter. The group was m arching against a New

York grand jury’s decision not to indict a white police o fficer in the chokehold death of an unarmed black man.

Security at the arena shut d own several entrances during the game and there was a large police presence both inside and outside the facility.

T he Pacers toyed with t heir lineup before the g ame, moving Stuckey to the point guard position and Donald Sloan to the bench. Forward Chris Copeland also got a starting nod.

A disabled motorized blimp in the arena that got stuck received much of the

conditioning. It’s different going up and down continuously. It’s a different game and you have to get used to it.”

After getting faced with a tie score for the first time since tipoff, Marshfield shut down Newport for the remainder of the first half.

The Pirates didn’t allow another point and headed into halftime with a 28-19 lead.

Offensively the Pirates turned to Olson, who scored or assisted on all the field goals in the second quarter, before finishing the game with five rebounds, four steals and

two assists to go with his 16 points.

As active as he was on Friday, Olson knows getting into a midseason rhythm is going to take some time.

“We’re still a little rusty,” he said. “It’s just a first game, we’re still getting in the groove of things.”

For the rest of the second half, Marshfield never allowed Newport to close the deficit to within five, but didn’t look close to the team Miles wants by the time league play starts in January.

This year’s group of sharp-shooting Pirates — a roster that Miles said was the best shooting team

he’s ever had — only had one 3-pointer from Kasey Banks on the night. Staying aggressive was also an issue for Marshfield, with Miles lamenting his team’s impatient play and reluctance to attack the basket as the game went on.

“We just lost our intensity,” he said, adding the Pirates also had multiple younger kids get their first significant varsity minutes Friday, which may have let Newport close the gap. “We were just soft tonight. Once we got tired, we got soft.”

Marshfield will have to deal with a quick turnaround. The Pirates host

To n i g h t ’s m a tc h u p promises to be a good barometer of Marshfield’s potential — as long as the Pirates harden up.

“We have the capability to be very good, but we have to get tougher,” Miles said. “You saw what we could do the first few minutes; now we have to figure out a way to sustain it.”

a ttempts and 21 free throws to get there.

“I’m glad to get it under our belt,” Rossback said.

“The first-game jitters was in all of us. We missed a lot of shots under the basket.”

The big key to the win was the defense, spurred by two different presses that either led to steals or errant passes by the Cubs. “ I t h i n k we h ave improved since last year,” Rossback said.

The pressing was a new

thing this year, enabled by an athletic roster.

“We have more quickness,” Chavez said. “That’s why we press.”

N ine different Marshfield players had at least one steal and the Pirates had 23 in all, including six

by Rossback and four by Chavez.

T hat was a big turnaround from the 2013 seas on opener between the teams, which was played in Newport.

“When we played them last year, we had a ton of turnovers,” Rossback said.

B ryant described Marshfield’s overall perf ormance as “rusty but good.”

One of the big benefits was finally playing another team. “ We h ave a l o t to i mprove on,” Rossback said. “We’ll go back and watch film and see what we need to work on.”

O ne thing Bryant said

doesn’t need improvement is hustle. “ The effort was great on all the girls’ parts,” he said. “I was really happy with how the girls worked t ogether and problemsolved.”

The Blazers shot just 6 for 24 (25 percent) and led 16-14 at the end of the first quarter. The Pacers were 7 for 21 (33 percent). It was a season low for points for the quarter for both teams.

OSU remembers coach’s contributions to school JESSE SOWA

Corvallis Gazette-Times‌

‌S co t t R u e c k re ca l l s approaching Mike Riley after an Oregon State athletic department meeting in September 2012.

R i l ey wa s two d ays removed from a 10-7 season-opening football win against Wisconsin following a 3-9 season. Rueck, then coming up on his third year as head coach of the OSU women’s basketball team, wanted to offer congratulations.

“The first words out of his mouth were, ‘hey, Scott, how’s your baby doing?’” Rueck said.

“Nothing about football.

Nothing about him. Just outward focused completely. He’s a very special guy that way and I feel really blessed to have worked with him.”

Emotions and reactions from coaches, studentathletes and fans alike ran the gamut Thursday morning as news of Riley’s departure for Nebraska spread across the Oregon State campus.

Football players found out during a brief meeting with Riley early Thursday.

Ju n i o r c e n te r I s a a c S e u m a l o wa s c l e a r l y unhappy when he met with a few media outside the Valley Football Center late Thursday morning.

“I understand, because my dad has been a coach forever, too. So I’m not mad at him at all, you know,” Seumalo said. “If anything I just wanted to thank him. He’s been one of the best people in my life and I thank him for everything he’s done for Oregon State and for me.”

Seumalo’s father is Joe

Seumalo, the Beavers’ defensive line coach.

Isaac Seumalo let out a big sigh at the thought that his dad could leave OSU to join Riley.

“Yeah. I don’t know what to say. That would definitely suck, too,” he said.

Seumalo and his teammates found out about the meeting just an hour or two earlier Thursday.

“I don’t think we feel blind-sided,” he said.

“We’re sad and we’re kind of shocked but at the same time ... I’ll reiterate, we love the guy. No one’s mad about it, it just sucks.”

OSU cross-country and track and field coach Kelly Sullivan said he’ll miss Riley as a friend and the support for his programs.

Riley allowed his football players to compete in track in the winter and spring,

which isn’t the norm due to spring football practices.

Sullivan said that has helped with fundraising and to develop the track program’s identity.

“A l o t o f t h e t ra c k coaches in our conference and around the country a lot of times would ask, how did you guys do it, how did you get a lot of the football guys out?” Sullivan said.

“It definitely starts with the head football coach.

Mike has been a big fan of ours since the minute we got here. He’s supported us and wanted men’s track back. He understood what it means not just for track but for the history and tradition of the university.”

OSU alums Louie and Katie Barker heard the news of the day as they exited Gill Coliseum following the women’s basketball game against Idaho.

Cornhuskers give Riley five-year deal ERIC OLSON

The Associated Press‌

‌LINCOLN, Neb. — Mike Riley never won a championship at Oregon State.

He thinks Nebraska is the place where he can.

Riley was introduced as the Cornhuskers’ new head coach on Friday, and the curious nature of his hiring was the dominant theme of his news conference.

Riley is now in charge of one of the most tradition-rich programs in college football history, a job he landed after going 5-7 this season and 93-80 in 14 years at Oregon State.

That’s less than seven wins per year and he is replacing a coach in Bo Pelini who won at least nine games every season.

“We are in this together to build young men and win championships, and they don’t have to be exclusive of each other,” Riley said.

“We’re going to do it right.

We’re going to work hard.”

Riley has been lauded for making the most out of his limited resources at Oregon State and his ability to develop lightly recruited players. Nebraska, like Oregon State, also faces challenges in recruiting and always has had to draw talent from across the nation.

But there is no shortage of money at Nebraska and the facilities are top-notch.

Plus the Cornhuskers have a passionate fan base that has filled Memorial Stadium for every home game since 1962.

Athletic director Shawn Eichorst said he had “zero concern” about Riley’s career win-loss record.

“He’s a teacher, and he puts himself and others around him in position to be successful,” Eichorst said.

“You’ve got to look at some of those (Oregon State) teams and some of the things he’s been able to do.

It’s been quite remarkable.”

A r i zo n a coa c h R i c h Rodriguez benched banged-up quarterback Anu Solomon — and later backup Jesse Scroggins — in the second half trying to find a spark. By then it was too late, and Rodriguez’s scrunched face on the sideline exemplified his team’s frustrations.

“Outcoached us, outplayed us,” Rodriguez said.

It was quite a turnaround from the last meeting between these teams, when Arizona held the

Nebraska’s new football coach Mike Riley addresses the media during a news conference at Memorial Stadium on Friday.

The Beavers pulled a number of upsets over teams ranked in the top five during Riley’s tenure, and they twice were in position to win Pac-12 championships going into the last week of the regular season.

“We’ve been on the brink,” he said. “I’m very confident with the history and performance of Nebraska in general in football, coupled with the hard work and what we do as coaches, we’ll be searching for that opportunity to win championships.”

Riley will have a fiveyear contract that pays him $2.7 million annually.

He’ll receive automatic $100,000 increases in each year of a contract that runs through Feb. 28, 2020. Riley had been the lowest-paid coach in the Pac-12, making a reported $1.5 million this year. Pelini was paid $3.1 million.

Riley is now the face of a program that ranks fourth in all-time wins and has won five national championships. The Huskers have not won a conference title since 1999.

“At the stage of my career, it was an opportunity to try something one more time,” Riley said. “If you’re going to do it one more time, this is a great chance to do it at a great place.”

Eichorst said Riley is as competitive as anyone he has known and that Riley’s age — 61 — did not give him pause.

“This is a son of a football coach. This is what he does.

He’s not looking to retire,” Eichorst said. “He’s going to coach his butt off for as long as he can.”

Riley said his first order of business will be to assemble his staff. He said he had a good idea of who from Oregon State would join him at Nebraska, but he declined to identify those assistants.

He said he would consider retaining some of the current Nebraska assistants.

Eichorst said he had been following Riley’s career for about 10 years and that he decided to go after him on Monday, the day after Pelini was fired after posting a 66-27 record over seven seasons. Eichorst and chancellor Harvey Perlman

met with Riley in San Francisco on Tuesday.

Perlman said Riley was Nebraska’s only target.

Perlman said he knows a lot of fans are wondering why a coach who won 71 percent of his games at Nebraska would be replaced by one who has won 52 percent at Oregon State. Perlman said he is confident in Riley’s coaching credentials and his ability to unify a fan base splintered over Pelini’s dismissal.

“It won’t be instantly, because there are strong passions,” Perlman said.

“That’s what football is all about. That’s why they’re fans.”

Pelini had a strong bond with his players, and he met with them for the last time Tuesday night. Riley introduced himself to the team immediately after he arrived Thursday night.

“Guys warmed up to him because he seems genuine,” cornerback Daniel Davie said. “He knows what he’s talking about. When guys see that, they’re going to have respect for you off the jump.”

Ducks to a season-low 144 yards rushing. The Wildcats also sacked Mariota five times and forced two fumbles in that game.

This time, Mariota completed 25 of 38 passes and ran for 33 yards on 10 carries. He extended his conference record to 53 touchdowns this season — 38 passing, 14 rushing and one receiving.

“If this guy isn’t what the Heisman Trophy is all about, then I’m in the wrong profession,” Helfrich said. “If you want your son or daughter to have a role model, pick this guy.”

As wide as the final margin was, it could’ve — and probably should’ve — been even wider.

Oregon settled for four field-goal tries — making three — in the first half.

The Ducks also finished with 12 penalties for 74 yards, including a holding penalty that erased Royce Freeman’s 37-yard TD run and back-to-back false starts that pushed back the failed field-goal attempt in the second quarter.

Mariota made up for most of Oregon’s errors, though, running for two TDs just before the break to give the Ducks a 23-0 lead. It was the first time Arizona was held scoreless in the first half since a 49-0 loss to Oregon on Sept. 22, 2012.

“We wanted to show people that we could play with Arizona and come

out and show them how Oregon football is supposed to be played,” said Freeman, who finished with 114 yards rushing on 21 carries.

The Wildcats briefly broke through when Scroggins found a wideopen Cayleb Jones for a 69-yard TD pass with 9:34 remaining in the third quarter. Scroggins finished 3-of-9 passing for 79 yards and also had an interception.

Solomon, who has dealt with ankle and leg injuries this season, completed six of 12 passes for 34 yards before third-stringer Jerrard Randall took over late, running for a 25-yard touchdown on the final play of the game.

Florida State keeps focus on Yellowjackets ‌CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — For the second straight year Jimbo Fisher and the Florida State Seminoles have had highly publicized off-field issues involving quarterback Jameis Winston overshadow their preparations for the ACC championship.

But the Seminoles’ eighth-year coach downplayed any potential distractions for his team during a press conference on Friday.

Though his Heisman Trophy winning quarterback spent two days at a university student code of conduct hearing that could determine his future at Florida State, Fisher said Winston had “one of his best weeks of practice ever.”

“I think everything in time will work itself out,” said Fisher, adding he expects Winston will still be enrolled in school and eligible to play beyond Saturday night’s game in Charlotte.

If the second-ranked Seminoles (12-0, 8-0 ACC, No. 4 CFP) beat No. 12 Georgia Tech (10-2, 6-2 ACC, No. 11 CFP), they’re expected to secure one of four spots in the first ever College Football Playoff.

The hearing was to determine whether Winston violated any or all of four sections of the student code of conduct, including two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment. The hearing took place approximately two years after a female student said Winston sexually assaulted her in December 2012.

No decision was rendered and no definitive timetable was given on when the case will be resolved.

The Seminoles moved one practice this week to later in the evening to accommodate Winston — a change Fisher said he and his coaching staff liked so

much they might consider making permanent in the future.

But Fisher said otherwise it has been business as usual.

Heading into last year’s ACC championship game, the Seminoles also were dealing with an off-field situation stemming from sexual assault allegations against Winston that ultimately resulted in the university hearing.

Two days before the 2013 game a prosecutor declined to press charges against Winston in the criminal investigation of the woman’s allegations, citing a lack of evidence.

The legal proceedings didn’t seem to be a problem for Winston, who threw for 330 yards and two touchdown.

“I think our kids understand that you control what you can control,” Fisher said. “We try to teach these kids there are only so many things in life you can focus on and only so many you can control.”

Some things to watch from the ACC championship game: GETTING DEFENSIVE: Georgia Tech ranks 12th in the country with 27 takeaways this season, including 17 off interceptions. So they’re hoping they can pressure Winston — who had four interceptions against Florida — into some mistakes.

“If you ask me if we would take four, yeah, we would,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “Hopefully he didn’t get them all out of his system.”

KEEP ON RUNNING: The Yellow Jackets have run for more yards than any other FBS team in the nation since Johnson brought his spread option attack to Georgia Tech in 2008.

During that span the Yellow Jackets have run for 28,277 yards — or 16.066 miles — and averaged a whopping 307.35 yards per game.

Kansas hires A&M’s Beaty ‌LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — After striking out on a rising star and a wellknown coach with an NFL pedigree, Kansas turned to one of its own to resurrect a program that has languished near the bottom of the Big 12.

The school announced Friday that it had hired Texas A&M assistant David Beaty to be its third coach in five years. Beaty spent time at Kansas on the successful staff of Mark Mangino and failed staff of Turner Gill, giving him unique insight into the program’s peaks and valleys.

“My family and I are honored and humbled to be back here,” said Beaty, who was introduced to the crowd during halftime of the Jayhawks’ basketball game against Florida on Friday night.

“I won’t sleep until I give you something to be proud of at Memorial Stadium,” he said.

Beaty emerged from a cluster of candidates that all had ties to the program, including Clint Bowen, the longtime defensive coordinator who served as interim coach when Charlie Weis fired.

Beaty said that Bowen, a Lawrence native and Kansas alum, has agreed to remain on staff.

“I am very excited to be back at Kansas,” Beaty said. “I am especially excited that Clint Bowen has agreed to stay on as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.

Clint will be a huge part of our success going forward and I am fortunate to have him on my staff.”

Beaty, who had been i n te rv i ewe d ove r t h e

phone, arrived on campus for a more formal interview and tour of the facilities Friday. The school planned a news conference for Monday.

“David Beaty is wellrespected in the football community and brings to KU great vision, passion and energy,” Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger said in a statement. “He has a bright fo o tba l l m i n d a n d i s known as one of the best recruiters in the nation.”

Beaty will certainly have plenty of work to do. The Jayhawks won just three games this season and one Big 12 game, and have been firmly in the league cellar since Mangino was fired in 2009 amid accusations that he mistreated players. Kansas has not had a winning season since 2008.

A longtime high school coach in Texas, Beaty primarily worked with wide receivers for Mangino, and returned to Rice after that staff was let go. Beaty came back to Kansas as part of Gill’s staff in 2011, and then bolted to Texas A&M when Gill — considered a rising star for his work at Buffalo when he was hired by the Jayhawks — was let go after a 2-10 season.

Weis won just six games over two-plus seasons before he was fired four games into this year, and Bowen coached the Jayhawks to a win over Iowa State as interim coach.

Meanwhile, Beaty helped to coach recordsetting offenses at Texas A&M while burnishing his reputation as one of the nation’s best recruiters.

Ohio St., Wisconsin ready for Big Ten championship game ‌INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Urban Meyer walked over to Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen on Friday and gave him a big hug.

It was a welcome respite in one of the most trying weeks of Meyer’s coaching career.

Last Saturday, the Ohio State coach watched his record-setting quarterback J.T. Barrett being carted off the field with a seasonending broken ankle. Last Sunday, he consoled the Buckeyes after learning of the tragic death of walkon nose tackle Kosta Karageorge. On Wednesday, he took the team by bus to Karageorge’s funeral. In between, Meyer scrambled to get his team — and new starting quarterback Cardale Jones — ready for Saturday’s Big Ten championship game against the 11th-ranked Badgers.

So seeing an old friend like Anderson, and his wife, Stacey, made one thing clear. It’s time to get back to football.

“That’s page two, page three or page four, that’s certainly not page one,” Meyer said when asked about needing to beat his former assistant to claim his first Big Ten title. “Gary and I are good friends.

We’ll always be great friends, have great respect for each other. Great family people, our families get along and that will never change. But for 60 minutes tomorrow we’re going to be competitors.”

Especially when the stakes are this high.

No. 6 Ohio State (11-1, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP) has won 10 straight since stumbling against Virginia Tech and desperately needs a win, maybe even a

blowout win, to earn one of the four precious spots in the inaugural playoff.

That won’t be easy against Andersen’s Badgers (10-2, 7-1), who have the nation’s top runner, Melvin Gordon, and are playing in their third conference championship game in four years.

Andersen wasn’t around for the first two.

Before coming to Wisconsin in 2013, he spent four years as Utah State’s head coach. Before that he was an assistant at Utah, where he spent one season as Meyer’s defensive line coach. Not surprisingly, Andersen has stolen a page or two from the playbook of the two-time national championship coach.

“The way he (Meyer) had a set plan of organization throughout the year was impressive to me. I definitely adopted that,” Andersen said. “When I say that my goal now as a head coach is to make sure the players and assistants are six months ahead, I think he always had that plan. When I looked at the calendar, I knew what was going to happen in April.

There were no surprises.”

Until the reality of last weekend forced Meyer and the Buckeyes to adjust on the fly.

Now, the Buckeyes are eager to get back to business and finally get their hands on the elusive Big Ten trophy.

“Very emotional for a lot of guys involved that knew him,” Meyer said, referring to Karageorge’s funeral.

“Ever since that moment, though, there’s been high energy. Obviously when the bus is rolling to this fantastic facility, a lot of energy.”

Alabama head coach Nick Saban, left, and Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel pose for photos Friday in Atlanta, ahead of the Southeastern Conference championship football game.

Bama, Mizzou both familiar with titles No. 1 Alabama plays for spot in playoff, Missouri tries to be spoiler PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer‌

‌ATLANTA (AP) — Alabama is right where it always seems to be — playing for a title.

For Missouri, this is also becoming the norm.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide (11-1) will be trying to lock up a spot in college football’s inaugural playoff when it takes on the No. 14 Tigers (10-2) in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.

In what passed for a rebuilding year in Tuscaloosa, Alabama survived the brutal SEC West to make it to Atlanta for the fourth time in the last seven years under coach Nick Saban.

If the Tide knocks off Missouri — and Alabama is a two-touchdown favorite — the next game will likely be on New Year’s Day at the Sugar Bowl in a national semifinal.

Rest assured, Saban will make sure his players aren’t looking ahead.

“What’s special about this one is you get a chance to run for a ring, an SEC championship ring, and be named conference champion,” safety Landon Collins said. “It’s going to be one of the best games you play in.”

Missouri is back at the Georgia Dome for the second year in a row as SEC East champions.

Not bad for a school that’s only been in the league for three years.

“Any team that can repeat and represent the East, they’re a great team and a great program,” Alabama’s Nick Perry said.

“We’re definitely not overlooking these guys.”

Missouri also went to the Big 12 title game in 2007 and 2008, before shifting to the SEC. But, while the Tigers keep getting close to the prize, they haven’t been able to win an outright conference title since 1960. They were blown out by Oklahoma in their two Big 12 appearances, and couldn’t keep up with Auburn in last year’s SEC championship game, losing 59-42.

After going 5-7 its first year in the SEC, Missouri has beaten out more traditional football powers such as Georgia and Florida the last two seasons to make an immediate mark in its new home.

“I’m one of those guys that goes in thinking I’m going to win every game every year as a coach,” Pinkel said Friday. “After the first year (in the SEC), I probably would have questioned that a little bit.

We had a lot of injuries.

But we’ve been very, very healthy the last couple years, which has certainly helped us.”

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (11) celebrates a touchdown with his teammates during the second half Thursday in Chicago.

Murray, Romo spark Cowboys over Bears 41-28 ‌CHICAGO (AP) — Tony Romo didn’t need much time to turn his attention toward next week’s showdown. He was planning to do that on the flight home.

“I’ll probably start on Philly tonight on the way back when we’re on the plane,” Romo said after the Dallas Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 41-28 on Thursday night.

DeMarco Murray ran for a season-high 179 yards and a touchdown and Romo threw for three scores to lead Dallas past the Bears.

The Cowboys (9-4) made it look easy for most of the night against a struggling team that lost star receiver Brandon Marshall to a rib injury. Dallas clinched its first winning season since 2009 and guaranteed it will finish above .500 after three straight 8-8 finishes. But the Cowboys are looking for more, with an NFC East title and first playoff appearance in five years in sight.

“Other than the fact we still have all our goals in front of us,” Romo said when asked about clearing the eight-win mark. “I think that that’s more for you guys to do your 8-8

stuff.”

Led by Romo and Murray, Dallas rebounded from a blowout loss to the Eagles on Thanksgiving and pulled within a halfgame of them with another showdown in Philadelphia next week.

The Cowboys took a 14-7 halftime lead and scored 21 consecutive points in the third quarter before the Bears (5-8) rallied in the fourth.

With the win, the Cowboys improved to a leaguebest 6-0 on the road, where they have won seven straight since a blowout loss at Soldier Field on a bone-chilling night last December.

Here are some things we learned in this game: TUNING UP: Romo, who has been bothered by a bad back, rebounded from a rough game against Philadelphia, completing 21 of 26 passes for 205 yards. He was patient, consistently checked down and posted a 138 rating for the game.

Having the league’s leading rusher doesn’t hurt him.

Murray carried 32 times.

He also had 49 yards receiving on nine catches.

“Like a lot of great backs through the years in this

league, oftentimes these guys get better the more touches they get,” coach Jason Garrett said. “I think he’s demonstrating that.

He just has such a good feel for running the football.”

RUNNING NOWHERE: The Bears vowed to be more balanced on offense after running eight times for 13 yards a week earlier in a loss at Detroit.

They made more of an effort this time but didn’t get anywhere, running 15 times for 35 yards.

Matt Forte had 13 carries for 26 yards after tying a career low with five rushes against the Lions. The rest came from Jay Cutler, who ran two times for nine yards.

MARSHALL GOES DOWN: Limited by ankle problems earlier in the year, Marshall can now add a rib injury to the list.

He was hurt taking a knee to the right side from the Cowboys’ Barry Church following a reception in the second quarter.

That happened moments after he made a spectacular 42-yard catch, juggling the ball with his right hand, to help set up a touchdown.

TV cameras showed him leaving Soldier Field in an ambulance, and Marshall

later posted on Twitter, “Thanks for the Prayers. .. I’m Good. #MindOverMatter.”

B R E N T ’S BAC K : Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent played for the first time this season after serving a 10-game suspension and being held out for two more following his intoxication manslaughter conviction.

He hadn’t played since Dec. 2, 2012, six days before the drunken-driving crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown.

“I’ve been blessed to be put back in this position and I’m gonna take advantage of it,” Brent said.

JOB SECURITY: Bears coach Marc Trestman insisted he’s not worrying about his future. He’s 13-16 in nearly two years and the Bears have regressed since they fired Lovie Smith following a 10-win season.

“The only thing I’m concerned about is the health of my football team right now and some of the players on it and bringing them in (Friday) and coaching them up to do a better job than they’ve done,” Trestman said.

“That’s exactly my only focus and will be my only focus.”

NFL suspends Ravens’ Ngata ‌B ALTIMORE (AP) — Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata was suspended without pay for four games Thursday for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Ngata will miss the rest of the regular season but will be eligible for the playoffs, the league said.

Ngata said in a statement released by the team that he took Adderall, a drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

“I made a mistake, and I own this,” he said.

The suspension costs Baltimore one of its defensive stars as the Ravens compete for a playoff berth. They’re 1 1/2 games behind the Bengals in the AFC North and one of six 7-5 teams tied for the second wild-card spot.

“I am deeply sorry and broken up over this,” Ngata said. “I let down my family, my teammates, Ravens

fans and myself. My hope is that the Ravens make the playoffs, and I believe they can do this. And then I can come back and help us win.”

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said, “We are disappointed with Haloti, but no more than he is with himself,” Ngata has two sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in 12 games this season. Rookie Timmy Jernigan, a second-round pick out of Florida State, likely will take his place in the starting lineup.

“I’m definitely prepared.

That’s all I’ve wanted ever since I’ve been here is a shot,” Jernigan said after Thursday’s practice. “Playing 15, 17 snaps a game, it’s tough to get going, but now I kind of have an opportunity to show the world that I can actually (play).”

Baltimore defensive coordinator Dean Pees knows what it’s like to have to replace a standout

player, and he’s prepared to move on without Ngata.

“It’s disappointing and all that, but it would be the same thing if we lost anybody due to injury,” Pees said. “You never want to lose anybody for any reason at all, but that’s the name of the game. Everybody goes through stuff at this time of year.

“A couple years ago, we played 10 games without Ray Lewis, played eight games without (linebacker Terrell) Suggs. We’re going to play four games without Haloti. Next guy up. Let’s play.”

The Ravens face Miami on the road Sunday, so it’s likely Pees would have used a variety of defensive linemen even if Ngata was available.

“I think it’s going to be a committee effort this week down there anyhow in the 80-degree weather,” Pees said. “Late in the season and stuff, we roll guys a lot the way it is, and this game

wouldn’t have been any different.”

The NFL has been concerned about an increase in Adderall use. Its drug tests don’t differentiate between Adderall and other amphetamines, which can help with concentration and stamina. Players diagnosed with ADHD can apply for a therapeutic use exemption that permits them to take the drug.

Under its agreement with the union, the NFL doesn’t identify the substance when a player is punished. In the past, suspended players frequently blamed Adderall, but the league could not confirm or deny whether that was the basis for the positive test.

But under the new drug agreement announced earlier this season, the NFL can now disclose information to “correct inaccurate public claims made by that player or his representatives about the discipline.”

Seahawks rule out Rams sign punter Unger, Helfet doubtful Hekker to 6-year deal ‌R E N T O N , Wa s h .

(AP) — For the first time since Week 5, the Seattle Seahawks have just three players listed as questionable or worse heading into Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Center Max Unger has officially been ruled out for the third straight week with a high-ankle sprain.

Head coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Unger will have a chance to return

next week for Seattle’s rematch against the San Francisco 49ers.

“Max is running, not enough to compete for this week, but he has a chance next week,” Carroll said. “It will be day-today when he starts coming truly back but he has a chance to get back and compete for it.”

Tight end Cooper Helfet is listed as doubtful to play with a high-ankle sprain.

‌ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams signed punter John Hekker to a six-year contract extension Friday, keeping him with the team through the 2020 season.

The 24-year-old Hekker was scheduled to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Terms were not disclosed.

Signed by the Rams as

an undrafted free agent in 2012, Hekker is sixth in the league this season with a net average of 41.4 yards per punt.

In his 2013 Pro Bowl season, Hekker had a net average of 44.2 yards — the highest single-season net average in NFL history. He had just four touchbacks in 78 punts and placed 19 inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.

Auto Racing Earnhardt wins prestigious Myers Award ‌LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr., grinning as he strode through a Las Vegas ballroom, seemed shocked Thursday to win NASCAR’s prestigious Myers Brothers Award.

The award, presented annually since 1958, is given to a person who makes significant contributions to the sport.

“It’s one thing to lead the last lap and get the checkered flag, it’s one thing to swim faster, run faster, hit a ball farther, get those sort accolades for doing something phenomenal,” Earnhardt said after. “But when your peers say, ‘Good job’ or when the people you’re around all the time acknowledge something, even if it’s just so minuscule, it’s such a good feeling.

“That’s really better than any kind of trophy for victories. It’s a great feeling.

I don’t know that I’ve ever been more humbled and excited.”

The award was named after short-track drivers Billy and Bobby Myers, two of NASCAR’s pioneers from the 1950s. It is presented by the National Motorsports Press Association with the purpose of recognizing those that have provided outstanding contributions to the sport of stock car racing.

Earnhardt beat three other finalists — ESPN and series sponsors Nationwide and Sprint — in voting by the NMPA membership.

He’s the third consecutive driver to win the award, after Jeff Gordon in 2012 and Tony Stewart last season.

Stewart called the award a “huge honor” and could tell how much it meant for Earnhardt to win.

“This is your industry that’s voting on this award, it’s not a popularity contest award,” Stewart said. “This is something where the industry sees what you’ve contributed to the sport and you could see it the whole time he was walking up there. That’s a genuine Dale Jr. smile we saw walking up there, and that shows you what it means to him.”

Earnhardt was recognized for both his participation on the track — he made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship this season and won four races — and also for his care and concern for the history and the future of NASCAR.

“It’s a great feeling. I don’t know that I’ve ever been more humbled and excited.”

Harvick finally climbs to reach NASCAR summit ‌LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two years ago, Kevin Harvick was evaluating his life. He and his wife, DeLana, had welcomed a son, their only child. They’d sold their race team and began to prioritize what really mattered to their growing family.

Harvick wanted two things: to be happy, and to race for championships.

So he took a gamble and left Richard Childress Racing, the only NASCAR team he’d ever known, and agreed to drive for good friend Tony Stewart in 2014.

Now, he is the new Sprint Cup champion, with his family, Stewart and a dedicated crew chief helping him reach racing’s summit.

Harvick’s first career Cup title was celebrated Friday night at NASCAR’s annual season-ending awards ceremony.

The weeklong celebration in Las Vegas gave Harvick a chance to again reflect on the decisions that got him to the head table at Wynn Las Vegas.

“That evaluation of our lives, my job falls into that,” Harvick said this week. “DeLana and I, since we knew we were going to have Keelan, we had always talked about ‘What it’s going to take to be great parents?’ One of those things in that category is ‘What is it going to take to make you happiest at work?’

“We knew that I wasn’t over-the-top excited about everything that I was dealing with at that particular time.”

In courting Harvick, the driver signed by Richard Childress and then thrust into the firestorm when he was given Dale Earnhardt’s team one week after the seven-time champion’s

Stu Grant, left, general manager of Global Race Tires for Goodyear, shakes hand with NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick after announcing Harvick as the recipient of the Goodyear Tires Award during the NASCAR NMPA Myers Brothers Awards Luncheon Thursday. fatal accident in the 2001 Daytona 500, Stewart promised his friend he could win a championship at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Stewart was coming off his own 2011 title for SHR when discussions began with Harvick. With more than a year left on his contract, Harvick decided to make the leap. He waited out one final season on his deal with RCR, where he’d spent 13 years of his NASCAR career but simply tired of the ebbs and flows of an inconsistent race team.

By figuring out his 2014 plans so early, Harvick had almost a year to find a crew chief he believed would guide him to that coveted Cup championship. He set his sights on Rodney Childers, who was content at Michael Waltrip Racing even if that organization wasn’t championship

caliber.

But Harvick wanted Childers — badly — and wo u l d n ’t g ive u p h i s recruiting.

“It was a lot of conversations,” Harvick said. “He’s one of those guys that just has to have that feeling of being comfortable and knowing that he’s dotted all his I’s and crossed all his T’s. It’s still business for him, and he has to support his family, and the decisions that he made will affect his life for the next few years and the contract that he was signing.

“It definitely has been a lot of big decisions for really everybody on our team, and the team itself made the commitment to me to get everything started.”

I t to o k a m e e t i n g between Childers and team co-owner Stewart to sway Childers’ decision. Stewart

won’t reveal what he said in that meeting.

“These are combinations that are just as valuable as marriages, so to have Kevin have somebody that he really wanted, it’s my job to seal the deal,” said Stewart, who recognized during that meeting why Harvick so badly wanted Childers.

“Getting a chance to spend that time with Rodney, I saw what Kevin was seeing. Those are meetings and those are steps that are necessary to make sure you are putting that right package and chemistry together.”

Still, Childers had no prior relationship with Harvick and knew only the reputation of a hot-headed driver who is tough on his crews.

“All I knew was a reputation, what other people had said. I’d never even had

a conversation with him before, I’d never carried on a conversation with DeLana or anybody,” Childers said.

“In the beginning, it was all I could think about: ‘Is he going to eat me up? Is he going to yell at me?’ But the thing I’ve learned with him is he’s none of those things that everybody says.

Nobody has a clue who he really is.”

What Childers learned about Harvick was that, at 38 years old, with a young son now helping him find some balance, he was a driver committed to doing whatever it took to win a championship. With Childers building the team from scratch, relentlessly working the crew to build a new fleet of cars, Harvick flipped a switch and once again found passion in his job.

“I needed to make a change and get something that rejuvenated me to get up in the morning and go to the shop and go to work and really take the time to be as good as I can,” he said.

They were good from their first on-track session and led the series with eight poles and 2,137 laps led.

But under a revised elimination-style format for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, Harvick and the No. 4 team had to step up and deliver. They succeeded with victories in the final two races of the season.

Now, with the entire industry on hand to celebrate their success, Harvick and Childers are finally enjoying their achievement.

“Being able to fulfill your lifelong dream is something that a lot of people can’t really say that they’ve ever done,” Harvick said.

Mariners, Cruz sign deal ‌S EATTLE (AP) — Had things come together last s eason, Nelson Cruz’s introduction with the Seatt le Mariners would have taken place a year ago.

S eattle pursued Cruz last year but when it didn’t work out, he went on to lead t he majors in home runs playing on a one-year deal in Baltimore. The Mariners were quick to try to find a deal that would work for both sides as soon as this offseason arrived.

“We were open and honest as we could possibly be a nd say, ‘This is the guy that we want,’” Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said Thursday. “He was the guy we wanted to bring into this organization and it just came together.”

Seattle landed the righth anded power bat that w as a priority this offseason with a $57 million,

The Associated Press‌

Seattle Mariners’ Nelson Cruz poses for photos as he displays his new jersey after he was officially introduced by the team at a baseball news conference, Thursday. f our-year contract that w as finalized Thursday.

He gets a $1 million signing bonus payable by Dec. 31 and yearly salaries of $14 million.

C ruz parlayed an $8

million, one-year contract with Baltimore into a long d eal with the Mariners a fter hitting 40 homers and driving in 108 runs for the Orioles. Zduriencik said adding a fourth year to the

contract — which will take Cruz to age 38 — was critical to getting the deal done.

“With Nelson, the fact t hat because he’s such a power guy, and in our game t oday it’s so difficult to find,” Zduriencik said. “In our league he can be a DH w hich will preserve him s omewhat, he’s in great s hape, he’s a really good worker. He may age very well. We had to do that to get him here and we did it.”

Cruz served a 50-game suspension in 2013 for violations of the major league drug agreement in relation to the sport’s investigation of the Biogenesis of America clinic. He again referred Thursday to making a mistake taking banned substances and said he’s moved on from the suspension.

He’ll likely hit behind fellow Dominican star Robinson Cano.

Yanks strike deal with Miller, acquire Gregorius ‌NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees made their first b ig moves to reshape for 2015, acquiring a shortstop to replace Derek Jeter and a relief pitcher who could take over from David Robertson as closer.

As part of a three-team trade, the Yankees obtained s hortstop Didi Gregorius f rom Arizona and dealt right-hander Shane Greene to Detroit. A few hours later, they agreed to a $36 million, f our-year contract with reliever Andrew Miller.

N ew York is uncertain w hether it will re-sign R obertson, who had 39 s aves in his first season after replacing retired great Mariano Rivera as closer.

A free agent, Robertson is e xpected to command a four-year deal at a much bigger price than Miller. “ I can’t predict yet as his free agency continues where he’s going to land,” Yankees general manager B rian Cashman said. “I certainly would not allude to the level of our participation. We’ve been in touch with his agency, and I’ll just leave it at that.”

A 29-year-old lefthander who is an imposing 6-foot-7, Miller held opponents to a .153 batting average this year while going 5-5 with a 2.02 ERA for Boston and Baltimore. He averaged 14.87 strikeouts per nine innings, second in the major leagues behind Cincinnati’s A roldis Chapman (17.67) among pitchers who faced at least 50 batters.

C ashman said Miller turned down a $40 million, four-year offer from a team he didn’t specify. He called Miller “a high-end weapon to go along with what we

already had and what we’re c ollecting” and said the Yankees didn’t commit to using him as closer. “ It’s protecting us. It gives us some diversification there,” Cashman said.

“I am not opposed to obviously continuing to pursue someone that has obviously the known closing abilities versus the maybe-can-dothat.”

A fter allowing a .282 opponents’ batting average from 2006-12, Miller s implified his mechanics and limited his pitches to mainly fastballs and sliders by pretty much dropping his sinker and changeup. He held hitters to a .175 average the last two years.

“He’s now found a niche w here he has excelled extremely well. Clearly we took notice as well as the rest of the game,” Cashman said.

M iller lives in Tampa, Florida, where the Yankees h old spring training. He joins a bullpen that includes h ard-throwing righth ander Dellin Betances, who finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting.

New York’s relievers also include Shawn Kelley and Adam Warren — unless they get shifted to the rotation.

Gregorius, a 24-year-old left-handed hitter who was b orn in Amsterdam and raised in Curacao, becomes the favorite to take over at shortstop following Jeter’s retirement. Gregorius hit his first big league homer at Yankee Stadium in April 2013 in his first at-bat with the Diamondbacks but lost the starting shortstop job to Chris Owings during spring training this year and was sent to the minors.

‌ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. ( AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays aren’t wary of Kevin Cash’s age and inexperience.

T he team tabbed the former Cleveland Indians bullpen coach as Joe Maddon’s replacement on Friday, selecting him over exSeattle Mariners manager a nd current Kansas City R oyals bench coach Don Wakamatsu.

The Tampa n ative who t urns 37 on Saturday has n o previous m anagerial e xperience, yet the Rays Cash are confident he has what it takes to be successful. “ It came down to the energy, the poise that he h as, the confidence, but the open-mindedness that goes along with it. That’s a rare combination to have in an individual,” president of baseball operations Matt Silverman said.

C ash wowed the team d uring a final interview t hat lasted half-a-day.

H e becomes the youngest active manager in the majors, taking over a team that made the playoffs four of the past seven seasons under Maddon.

“After 12 hours we were pretty drained and it felt like Kevin was just getting started,” Silverman said.

A former catcher who p layed with five major

league teams, including 13 g ames for Tampa Bay in 2005, Cash served as Terry Francona’s bullpen coach in Cleveland the past two seasons.

H e also interviewed r ecently for the vacant managerial position with t he Texas Rangers. He t hought that experience h elped when the Rays included him on an initial list of 10 candidates. “ It wasn’t something I was anticipating at this stage. But as I started preparing for the Texas opport unity, I almost kind of gained momentum, gained s ome confidence,” Cash said. “I was able to really process some thoughts.”

Tampa Bay went 754-705 in nine seasons under Maddon, making the playoffs four times, winning two AL E ast championships and the 2008 AL pennant — all while operating under the constraints of one of baseball’s lowest payrolls.

The Rays finished 77-85 this year, ending a stretch o f six consecutive winning seasons. Maddon was u nder contract through 2 015, but exercised an option to leave when talks on a new deal broke down a nd joined the Chicago Cubs.

The new manager inherits a roster driven by one of the best pitching staffs in the American League. Most of his coaching staff will be comprised of holdovers from Maddon’s reign.

How to find a mentor ‌Q : Do I need a business mentor? Where do I find one?

A: Everyone can benefit from mentoring relationships. Mentoring is defined as a mutually agreeable partnership where a person seeks guidance, advice, education and or perspective from Down to another individual who has relevant experience. Mentoring is relationshipbased and development-driven.

The mentee or p ro t é g é s e e k s to l ea r n f ro m the mentor and where possible Arlene exceed the conSoto tributions made by the mentor.

The mentor in turn gains satisfaction from giving knowledge to someone less experienced, building a legacy, developing leadership skills or gaining prestige within the business or industry.

Mentoring relationships increase communication, motivation and productivity within businesses. Many CEOs of large, prosperous businesses will credit their success to relationships they’ve had with advisors they turned to when they needed help solving a problem or developing a critical skill.

Many people will act as mentors throughout any person’s career.

Finding the right mentor requires some consideration.

First, it’s important to know why you are considering a mentoring relationship. What are the goals you are trying to reach? Are you trying to develop skills, solve a problem, increase visibility or learn about a new environment?

What mentor knowledge, skills and experiences are important to you? Look for someone who exemplifies the traits and skills you are seeking to gain. Identify where you might find the right mentor: the workplace, industry association, personal friends, community organizations, Small Business Development Center, school or through a referral.

Once potential mentors have been identified, contact them to make sure they have the time and the interest to act as a mentor to you. Discuss your goals for the mentoring relationship. Test suggestions made by potential mentors to see if they will work for you. Decide on the mentor you want to work with based on what you hope to achieve and the relationship that develops as you talk with them.

Mentoring relationships may be formal or informal, longterm or situational. Mentors may be older or younger, in the same industry, a trusted business associate or a member of a social network. Typically a boss will not be a mentor because of the potential conflict of interest. The right mentor will actively listen and provide honest feedback. The right mentoring relationship will be beneficial for both the mentor and the mentee.

The SBDC is a partnership of the U.S. Small Business Administration , the Oregon Small Business Development Center Network, the Oregon Business Development Department and Southwestern Oregon Community College. Arlene M. Soto has been the Director of the Southwestern Small Business Development Center since July 2007.

A man dressed as Santa Claus greets shoppers Nov. 28 outside the J.C. Penney store at the Glendale Galleria shopping mall in Glendale, Calif. J.C. Penney is still trying to recover from a botched transformation plan spearheaded by its former CEO Ron Johnson that sent its sales in a freefall and resulted in mounting losses.

These retailers could use some holiday cheer 4 retailers that are wishing for some serious holiday cheer ­— and why that might be tough ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer‌

‌N EW YORK — The holiday shopping season is always a make-or-break period for struggling retailers.

But this year, the fight to grab shoppers has intensified, making it difficult for stores to use the season that accounts for about 20 percent of the retail industry’s annual sales to bounce back.

Stores face cautious shoppers who are juggling stagnant wages and higher costs for food and health care. And Web-savvy customers are using information easily available on their smartphones to hold out for ever-better deals. All of that means that stores have had to discount more — and earlier — this holiday shopping season.

Here, four retailers with years of sales declines that could use a good holiday season:

Sears Holdings Corp.‌ The problems: The Hoffman, Illinoisbased company, which operates Kmart and Sears, has been struggling for years as it faces increasingly stiff competition from Wal-Mart, Target and Home Depot.

Critics say Sears has failed to update shabby and tired stores.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Edward Lampert, now chairman and CEO, combined Sears and Kmart in 2005, about two years after he helped bring Kmart out of bankruptcy. But that merger hasn’t been successful, and the company’s financial results keep worsening.

The company on Thursday said its revenue fell 13 percent in the third quarter. In the first three quarters of the year, Sears has lost $1.6 billion.

It’s on track to lose money for four straight years and record eight straight years of falling revenue when it reports its annual results early next year.

The fix: To raise money, Lampert is closing weak stores, cutting inventory and selling assets to raise cash to keep the company afloat. Year-to-date, the company has closed 129 stores and for the full year it expects to close a total of 235 stores. That’s resulting in several thousand job cuts. At the same time, Sears says it is shifting its focus from running a store network to operating an online and offline business tied together by its Shop Your Way loyalty program The prospects: Brian Sozzi, CEO and

A worker repairs a sign outside the Sears Grand store in Solon, Ohio in 2013. The Hoffman, Ill.-based Sears Holdings Corp., which operates Kmart and Sears, has been struggling for years as it faces increasingly stiff competition from Wal-Mart, Target and Home Depot. Critics say Sears has failed to update shabby and tired stores. chief equities strategies at Belus Capital Advisors, says crowds at both chains were thin over the Thanksgiving weekend. And the latest third-quarter results will likely make it critical for Sears to keep selling assets and stores to prop up its operations.

Sozzi believes that by 2017, the company will operate about 900 stores, half its current size.

The financial maneuvers “are basically enabling (Sears) to tread water on the operating losses,” said Everscore ISI’s Greg Melich.

RadioShack Corp.‌ The problems: Long known as a destination for batteries and obscure electronic parts, RadioShack’s problem has been that the functions of so many products it sold have been taken up by smartphones.

So it sought to remake itself as a specialist in wireless devices and accessories.

But growth in that business is slowing because more people have smartphones and see fewer reasons to upgrade.

RadioShack’s shares are now trading below $1. It warned in September that it might need to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which wasn’t unexpected.

It bought some more time soon after by restructuring part of its debt with lenders.

The fix: RadioShack’s turnaround efforts have included cutting costs, renovating and closing stores, and shuffling management. The Fort Worth, Texasbased company has tried to update its image and work on adding new products, including private brands and exclusive items.

RadioShack disclosed plans in March that it intended to close 1,100 stores, or about a fifth of its U.S. locations. It didn’t specify the number of job cuts.

Mary Kay reps looking for gift sponsors ‌NORTH BEND — Local Mary Kay representatives are seeking business or individual sponsors for their third annual “Adopt a Grandparent” program. This program provides a Christmas gift to residents of local retirement facilities who have few visitors.

Businesses or individuals can sponsor one or more residents with a $30 Christmas stocking that includes foot lotion, hand cream, socks and a plush stuffed animal. The stockings will be personally

presented to the residents by North Bend High School boys basketball players and given in the name of the sponsoring business or individual.

This year, the goal is 86 gifts for the men and women of Bayside Terrace Assisted Living in Coos Bay and Inland Point Assisted Living in North Bend.

If you have any questions or would like to participate, call Lisa Reed at (208) 3713520. Deadline for all donations is December 12.

The prospects: RadioShack has been fighting with its lenders during the holidays, which is hampering its efforts to restructure the business and close some of its stores to help raise cash. This week the lenders notified RadioShack of alleged breaches to a $250 million loan and want the company to prepay some of its debt, along with other fees. RadioShack says that is unreasonable.

J.C. Penney Co.‌ The problems: J.C. Penney is still trying to recover from a botched transformation plan spearheaded by former CEO Ron Johnson that sent its sales in a freefall and resulted in mounting losses.

Mike Ullman returned to the CEO job in April 2013 and has stabilized the business by restoring discounts and basic merchandise. But it’s now up to Marvin Ellison, who will take over Ullman’s job in August, to remake it as a shopping destination.

The fix: In October, Ullman laid out a strategy to improve productivity, expand e-commerce and spruce up some departments that it said would boost sales to $14.5 billion by fiscal 2017. That’s still well below the $17.23 billion it generated before the sales plunge.

It remains to be seen whether it will further pare down its fleet, which totals about 1,100 stores. In its latest round of layoffs in January, it closed 33 underperforming stores and laid off 2,000 employees.

The prospects: Analysts are closely watching how Penney fares this holiday season after growth has slowed in an important sales measurement. A slow holiday season would make investors less confident in their business.

SWOCC offers accelerated real estate license course ‌COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Community Education Department is offering an accelerated course that prepares people to qualify for the Oregon real estate broker’s license exam in 10 weeks.

Buying a home? Do a landscape inspection From termites to dying trees, inspect landscape before signing off on a new house DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press‌

‌P rudent house hunters usually await the results of a professional inspection before buying their dream home. All too often, though, one of the biggest contributors to a home’s value is neglected: the landscape. And that can prove costly.

“I feel bad telling people who’ve already put their life’s savings into a new house that their sprinkler system is outdated or was installed wrong,” said Jeff Wolfe of Sun Wolfe Irrigation Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona. The company’s services include irrigation and outdoor lighting inspection.

“Now they’re facing big expenditures,” he said.

“Depending on the size of the property, costs for a new irrigation system can vary from $2,000 to $20,000. The same goes for lighting systems.”

Landscape problems are more costly to correct when deferred, said Bruce Avery, an arborist with AAA Tree Experts Inc. in Tallahassee, Florida. “And the longer you wait, the

The role of a landscape inspector is to locate trees with predisposing faults like disease and cracks that can be pruned or removed before causing any damage. more expensive it gets.”

And inspections are increasingly important now that families are making more use of their outdoor living areas, he said.

P re - p u rc h a se l a n d scape inspections should include such things as retaining walls, patios and decks, outdoor kitchens, water features, fireplaces and fire pits, irrigation systems, fencing, pools and spas, lighting, playgrounds, lawns and trees, Avery said.

Regional considerations vary.

“Mature trees can add significant value to a property,” he said. “Unfortunately, with age, stresses from a number of factors can lead to dangerous and

If landscape problems are discovered during an inspection, then those issues can be passed along to the homeowners for a suggested fix, be included in the price negotiations or become total deal-busters.

“There are so many elements of the landscape that consumers have no idea what is hidden,” Avery said.

“A wise homeowner or prospective buyer should always involve a qualified arborist or landscape professional to help answer their questions.”

Through a companion phone app, the racket told me a lot, including things I’ll need to build on if I hope to get better.

After nearly a half-hour against a ball machine, I hit 191 shots: 106 backhands, 67 forehands, 15 serves and three overheads that were probably out of bounds. But those numbers mean nothing without the underlying metrics the racket also measured.

Hitting a tennis ball with topspin allows you to swing harder, but keep the ball in the court. Even though I thought I hit nearly everything with a fair amount of topspin, the racket stats told me otherwise. Of those 106 backhands, only 18 registered as being hit with

What did I learn? Well, I need to run more to get in better shape, lower my heart rate and smooth out my breathing. All of these things are connected in exercise. Hexoskin did an excellent job illustrating that with smart on-screen graphics. Once I remembered to record my sessions, it stored all that data so I could measure improvements.

warm-weather holiday to mowing, edging and clipping their slice of the American Dream. They patrol their grounds constantly lest a sprig of spurge or a fluff of dandelion take root.

The appearance anywhere in the neighborhood of a chipmunk, rabbit or vole sends them to the basement for traps, to the garage for poisons, to the phone for the exterminator.

Their lawn is not as much sod as a lush carpet of green velvet, stretching from property line to property line, pure and pristine, unbroken by trees, shrubs or sidewalks.

Then there are the “leaf

proud.”

The leaf proud pass as normal for most of the year, but the first hint of a chill in the air, the first fading from bright green to mottled orange brings them out of hibernation.

Much like their brothers of the sod, the leaf proud cannot abide what might despoil their lawns; however, their obsession is not with the grass itself but with what it represents: glorious summer stretching on into eternity.

If only the inevitable can be delayed.

To that end, the leaf proud are out daily, wielding rakes and blowers, mowing and vacuuming,

bagging and composting every trace of the evidence that summer surely will turn into autumn.

They huddle on their patios around fire pits, bundled against the advancing chill and basking in the imagined glory of endless summers. The strains of “Surfer Girl” waft in the background.

My magazines are messy.

There are dandelions in my lawn.

But I will NOT let the leaves win.

desired shooting range at 15 feet. That’s how far away the free-throw line is, and anything beyond that was going to nibble away at my confidence and cause me to miss more.

During one session, I took 26 shots from that range. The ball and app told me that the arc was too low on 14 of those shots and too high on another four. I made a few adjustments to my style and got more shots in during the next session later that day.

But it’s hard to tell whether the advice from the app helped me make more shots or whether I was just getting warmed up.

Still, the technological heft of the ball is for real, and it can measure dribble power, the number of consecutive dribbles and the amount of backspin on my shots.

‌N EW YORK — Faster, better, cheaper. For most consumers the verdict on mobile payments is still out. But this holiday shopping season, trying a new way to pay may at least be cheaper.

PayPal and Google Wallet are offering deals and discounts to entice customers to use their services. Shoppers need to pay for goods in stores using a smartphone or online. The deals are available at major stores, including Toys R Us, Sephora and Home Depot.

The promotions come as competition among such services intensifies, with the recent launch of Apple Pay. To ta ke a dva n ta ge , shoppers need to open an account at either service’s website by linking a credit card or debit card. Having an account at PayPal or Google Wallet can mean faster checkouts online.

Whether shoppers are on a computer or using a smartphone app, they can click on the button for each service and their credit card information and address displays automatically. At stores, there’s no need to swipe a credit card or take out cash, just a few taps on a smartphone app or hovering the smartphone over a register, and the transaction is done.

PayPal discounts‌ PayPal is offering email alerts for deals throughout the holiday season. Shoppers who use PayPal at Toys R Us, Home Depot, Famous Footwear and teen retailer Aeropostale, can get $5 off when they spend $25 in the stores through Dec. 15.

Deals also can be found on PayPal’s website, shopping.paypal.com/index.

Recent deals include 15 percent off at JCPenney. com, which ends in April.

To take advantage of an

There’s currently an offer for 5 percent off purchases made in the app for electronics retailer B&H, 20 percent off at men’s clothing retailer app JackThreads and $5 off at online food ordering app Eat24, among others.

Those deals are available for a limited time, but don’t specify an end date.

Google Wallet discounts‌ One for you, one for me.

Shoppers who use Google Wallet to buy a gift card for someone else at select retailers’ websites, will receive a $5 gift card for themselves. The retailers include makeup seller Sephora, office supply retailer Staples, natural foods grocer Whole Foods and movie theater chain Regal Cinemas. That deal ends Dec. 26. Buyers get the $5 gift emailed to them, and then have to save it to their Google Wallet account.

Vatican to release findings from study of U.S. nuns ‌N EW YORK (AP) — Vatican officials will soon release the long-awaited findings of their review of women’s religious orders throughout the U.S., a Vatican spokesman said Wednesday.

The Rev. Thomas Rosica said a Rome news conference was planned for Dec. 16 to release a report on the comprehensive study, or Apostolic Visitation, which began in 2008 and ended about three years later.

The review was separate from the Vatican-ordered overhaul of the largest umbrella organization for U.S. nuns, called the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.

T h a t i nve s t i ga t i o n prompted an outpouring of support for U.S. sisters as they challenged the Vatican critique of their organization. However, the study of the women’s religious orders included many groups connected with the

Leadership Conference. The Vatican had said its review of nearly 400 orders aimed to assess the quality of life for U.S. sisters, whose numbers have plummeted over the past several decades.

Rosica did not reveal any of the findings, but said in an email that the report’s release will be a “hopeful and encouraging” moment for religious sisters.

The plan to release the findings was first reported by the Detroit Free Press.

Show the ants who’s boss

DILBERT

‌I don’t know about you, but when I learn some new and amazing household tip that promises to save me time or money, well, it just makes my day. I love it! Not all of the tips I get from you, my faithful readers, are brand new. But since I am not good Everyday a t k e e p Cheapskate ing 20,000 or more of these delicious little tidbits cataloged in my mind (yes, you’ve sent in at least that many Mary over the Hunt years), even the ones I know can become a new delight when you remind me of them.

I hope you enjoy today’s offering of great tips as much as I do.

Those pesky ants.

If you have ants or other bugs around the house, put 50/50 mixture of Blue Dawn dish soap and water into empty spray bottle and keep it handy. When you see the insects, spray them with the mixture. Provided you really saturate those little critters, the soap actually breaks down their exoskeletons, and they die almost immediately. Cheap and easy cleanup, too. — THE FAMILY CIRCUS Lynda F. Slippery cleanup. I enjoy baking, but don’t like measuring sticky ingredients such as shortening or peanut butter. To avoid the mess that makes, I spray the measuring cup with a nonstick cooking spray, and the sticky ingredient slides right out. I no longer have to spend time scraping the measuring cup or spoon. — Joyce R. Static cling. When traveling, pack an unused dryer sheet, especially if you’re traveling to a dry, desertlike area. A few swipes with the dryer sheet will eliminate static from garments and equipment. — S.M.M. Perfect iced tea. If you want to make smooth, clear iced tea that isn’t bitter, just add a pinch of baking soda to the water while brewing. I use an iced-tea maker, so I add the baking soda with the ice. It turns out fabulous. I prefer sweet tea, but this will work with unsweetened tea, too. — Sheryl R. Re-roof, re-use. We are re-roofing our house, and we didn’t want to pay the cost of having the old shingles hauled away. We have an area in our yard that we plan to landscape with decorative white rocks, and we decided to recycle the old shingles by laying them down under the rocks to prevent weeds from growing up through them.

— Bonnie L. Skillet restore. I burned Pam in my favorite stainless steel frying pan. Thankfully, I was able to remove it with Bar Keepers Friend. I made a paste of Bar Keepers Friend and water and rubbed it all over the pan. I let it sit overnight and then scrubbed it with a nylon brush. It took two applications, but now my pan is sparkling clean again. — Tena F. Ce ra m i c s tove to p.

My white ceramic cooktop stove is a pain to keep clean. It shows every bit of burned-on grease. I dis- MODERATELY CONFUSED covered that if I spray it with plain white vinegar and then sprinkle with baking soda, it dissolves all but the most stubborn stains.

I keep my baking soda in a leftover spice jar with a shaker top for easy application. It bubbles when it contacts the vinegar, and it also provides a little scouring action for those spots that still need a little scrubbing. — Frieda Mary invites questions at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630. This column will answer questions of general interest, but letters cannot be answered individually. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2014 Professional and personal relationships should be your focus this year. Clear and honest communication is mandatory in both business and private contexts. Time spent volunteering or contributing to a charitable organization will bring you recognition and rewards, but don’t neglect your personal affairs.

Charity begins at home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Difficulty with bureaucracy is likely if your documentation is faulty.

Keep your personal papers up to date to avoid headaches. Tie up any loose ends before year’s end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be clear regarding your intentions. Emotional issues will get blown out of proportion if you are vague about what you want.

Someone who opposes you will misinterpret you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A family member will be extremely demanding. Do what you can within reason, but don’t take on more than is humanly possible or you will end up resentful and stressed out.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Promote your plans and ideas with confidence. You will miss out on a golden opportunity if you wait for someone else to market or commandeer your goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Someone you least expect will let you down. If you are involved in a joint venture, protect your portion of the investment by overseeing the operation from start to finish.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t back down from a challenge.

You will be put in a vulnerable position if you aren’t firm about your needs and desires. Speak up and stifle an aggressive move to limit your input.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t get involved in questionable schemes or unfamiliar ventures.

Your reputation and your wallet will both take a beating if you are not careful. Look out for your best interests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Changes are happening all around you. Don’t limit what you can do.

Being able to manage tasks in a diverse manner will impress those

541-269-1222 Ext. 269 for details in a position to improve your status.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your social life will take on a new dimension if you get involved in local events. Meeting new people who share your interests will stimulate your mind and improve your position in your community.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you aren’t happy with current developments, speak up. Be assertive and diplomatic but not aggressive.

Conditions won’t change if you keep your ideas and opinions to yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you need a change of scenery, consider interesting destinations close to home. Exotic vacations, although stimulating, may not be realistic or give you the rest and peace of mind you require.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Take steps to keep emotions from clouding your judgment. Before you take charge of a situation, consult those who will be affected.

Unexpected yet beneficial changes are heading your way.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2014 Change can be a good thing if you are adaptable. The growth you will experience this year should be embraced and allowed to unfold naturally. Welcome whatever comes your way and be open to the opportunities that adversity can offer. Take control and make things happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Slow down and make critical decisions based on facts. Think matters through and ferret out information that can help you make a wise choice. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t jeopardize your reputation.

Stay away from anyone whose ethics or morals are in question.

Others will judge you by the company you keep. Choose your friends wisely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Look for a challenge that stimulates your senses and motivates you to do your best. Regardless of what path you take, patience and hard work will be required.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Ask pertinent questions, or someone will offer you a false impression.

Choose a reliable friend or relative to give you an honest assessment of your current situation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t be a pushover. Stick to your plan and don’t let anyone talk you out of doing something you have your heart set on. Missed opportunities will lead to regrets.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — An increase in professional commitments will keep you busier than usual. Undue stress will cause minor health problems. It’s OK to ask for help if you feel overwhelmed or if you fall behind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Dealing with relatives may try your patience. Pick your battles. If you turn a minor disagreement into a major confrontation, everyone will be upset and no one will come out a winner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Try not to get too frazzled about the changes going on around you.

Jumping to conclusions before all the facts are in will add to your distress.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you are feeling pressured by someone, cozy up to fun, optimistic friends.

Avoid sharing your disappointments with others, and keep your focus positive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your patience will be tested. Your peers may feel that they have all the answers. Get your point across without alienating the people you deal with daily if you want to avoid repercussions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’ll receive mixed signals from a colleague today. If you are not sure what is expected of you, ask.

Speculation on your part will only add to the confusion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Today is about making money and getting ahead. Take control of your situation. Attend business courses, go for interviews and find a market for your ideas and skills.
