‌R EEDSPORT — City of Reedsport crews were busy over the long Thanksgiving weekend repairing two broken water mains, which affected water to some city customers.

One major break happened Wednesday morning on a main water line between St. John the Apostle Rectory and U.S. Highway 101.

Reedsport public works director John Stokes said a citizen noticed a “large wet spot” near the church.

“They called the water department to see what was going on with that,” he said. “We went out, took a look at it and thought it might have been a smaller break on a lateral. So, they started to dig it up and found it was the actual water main that was tied into the 16-inch main line that had broken loose.”

Stokes said it appeared the 40-year-old line had simply been screwed into the cement/ asbestos main pipe.

showcases local artists CARLY MAYBERRY The World‌

‌BANDON — For as far back as she can remember, Carol Waxham’s Langlois gallery Raincoast Arts has been a work in progress. But then the same could be said for the artist herself and the woven creations she makes weaving thread and yarn.

Waxham opened Raincoast in 1991 in Langlois’ historic Woodmen of the World Lodge building. It was a business that grew out of her career making and selling her art works at various events. “ I had been selling at craft fairs and the Portland Saturday market for about 12 years,” Waxham said. “My f irst husband traveled a lot by the coast and he was fascinated by this building and it eventually became our gallery.”

In 1990, the couple purchased the structure, which was made out of Port Orford cedar and dated back to 1897.

A peek at the 2015 session Budget, Cover Oregon, marijuana and guns among the issues to dominate Oregon’s 2015 session ‌SALEM (AP) — With legislative elections in the rearview mirror, Oregon lawmakers are turning their attention to the 2015 Legislature session.

When they convene at the beginning of February, the House and Senate will have more Democrats and fewer Republicans than they’ve had in four years. Democrats extended their majority to 35-25 in the House and 18-12 in the Senate. Here’s a look at just a few of the issues that state lawmakers will be confronting.

BUDGET Passing a budget is the one and only thing lawmakers are required to do.

As there is every year, there’s likely to be wrangling over the amount of money for schools.

Tax prep helpers needed ‌SOUTH COAST — This year, AARP Foundation is again providing free tax assistance and preparation for taxpayers with low to moderate income through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program.

AARP Foundation TaxAide, in its 46th year, is the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention to the older population.

You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this service.

AARP Foundation TaxAide is seeking volunteers to support the Bandon, Lakeside and North Bend sites to help Oregon taxpayers who are seeking assistance for preparing and filing their 2014 tax returns.

Volunteers learn new skills while giving back to their communities. Previous experience is not required to be a volunteer.

In addition to general tax assistance, there is also a need for grass-roots leadership, on-site greeters, and those who can provide tax help in Spanish. Free training is scheduled for mid-January 2015.

AARP Foundation TaxA i d e vo l u n te e rs m u s t complete a tax preparation workshop from the Internal Revenue Service prior to working with taxpayers.

They are reimbursed on a limited basis for qualified program-related expenses such as mileage.

AARP Foundation TaxAide has grown tremendously since its inaugural team of just four volunteers in 1968. In 2014, 35,000 compassionate volunteers at over 5,000 sites nationwide provided 2.6 million people with free tax help. Taxpayers who used AARP Foundation Tax-Aide received $1.3 billion in income tax refunds and more than $257 million in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs).

Fo r m o re i n fo r m a t i o n , v i s i t w w w. a a r p. o rg / ta xa i d e o r ca l l 1-888-OURAARP (1-888687-2277). For local information, or to volunteer, call Fain Hickerson at 541297-3722. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in conjunction with the IRS.

Help soldiers’ families with gifts ‌SALEM — The Oregon National Guard Association will distribute gift cards to the families of deployed soldiers during the holiday season. Families of deployed soldiers often experience financial difficulties. The gift cards offer some financial relief and appreciation. Gift card donations for groceries, toys, clothing and fuel are appreciated.

To donate, send gift c a r d s to t h e O r e g o n National Guard Association, P.O. Box 14350, Salem, Oregon 97309.

In this photo provided by Johnny Nguyen, Portland police Sgt. Bret Barnum, left, and Devonte Hart, 12, hug at a Nov. 25 rally in Portland.

Encounter at protest leads to hug for boy, officer ‌PORTLAND (AP) — An African-American boy holding a “Free Hugs” sign stood crying in front of a police barricade at a Ferguson rally in Portland. A white police officer motioned for him to come closer. The officer then asked the boy for a hug — and they embraced, the boy’s anguished face streaming with tears.

A photographer captured the encounter earlier this week, and the photo has become popular on social media. It’s an unusual image as people around the country protest a grand jury’s decision to not indict a white police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.

In Portland, both the boy and the officer — 12-yearold Devonte Hart and Portland Police Sgt. Bret Barnum — took unusual steps when they met on Tuesday.

The boy’s mother Jennifer Hart, who is white, wrote on social media that her son had been struggling with issues of police brutality and racism.

Devonte is one of six children adopted by Hart and her wife, Sarah Hart of West Linn, a suburb of Portland.

A day after the decision on officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, the Harts went downtown “with the intention of spreading love and kindness” by holding signs such as “You Matter” and “Free Hugs,” Jennifer Hart said. The family then joined the nearby Ferguson rally.

Barnum, who works for the traffic division, had been dispatched to a downtown intersection to help with traffic and crowd control. In the middle of the block, hundreds of protesters listened to speeches about the relationship between police and black residents.

Earlier that week, when an officer posted on Facebook a badge of the Portland Police Bureau with an “I am Darren Wilson” banner, Barnum had “liked” the post. The officers were later ordered to remove the images and the matter is under an internal investigation.

Barnum said he “liked” the image out of solidarity for the police profession, not because he supports Wilson.

A couple days later, Devonte Hart stood on the outskirts of the Portland rally, about 10 feet away from Barnum. He was trembling, his mom said.

Tears were rolling down his cheeks.

“Devonte was struggling. He wouldn’t speak.

He was inconsolable,” his mother wrote. “My son has a heart of gold, compassion beyond anything I’ve ever experienced, yet struggles with living

fearlessly when it comes to the police... He wonders if someday when he no longer wears a ‘Free Hugs’ sign around his neck, when he’s a full-grown black male, if his life will be in danger for simply being.”

Barnum told The AP he noticed the boy and wondered what was wrong.

So he motioned for him to come up to his motorcycle.

The officer asked for his name and shook his hand.

He also asked Devonte where he went to school (he is homeschooled), what he did this summer (he traveled around the U.S. with his family), and what he likes to do (art). The tears stopped.

Barnum has two teenage sons and has worked for Portland’s police force for 21 years. While continuing to talk to Devonte, he looked at the “Free Hugs” sign on the ground and asked if he might get a hug as well.

Devonte put his arms around the officer.

“Knowing how he struggled with police, his bravery and courage to catch my eye and approach me were impressive,” Barnum said.

“And it’s a blessing for me that I didn’t miss an opportunity to impact this child.”

Hart said the moment was about “listening to each other, facing fears with an open heart.”

Opinion

Thanks for the counter Jihad ‌I am giving special thanks this year for the hard work of patriots who toil without recompense to expose the many vectors of Islamic subversion currently eroding the already hollowed-out institutions of Western society.

To this end, I will tell a story about a story. It concerns the first Muslim prayer service ever held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. As I wrote last week, this weirdly DIANA “invitation-only” WEST service, which took place on Friday, Nov. Columnist 14, gathered representatives of Muslim groups with proven links to Hamas and to Hamas’ parent group, the Muslim Brotherhood. This means that, however briefly, jihadlinked groups took over the National Cathedral, where presidents and other great Americans have lain in state.

These terror links led some media to label the event overall a “Muslim Brotherhood event,” or an “Islamist” or “extremist” event. As the service itself demonstrated, however, it was all strictly Islamic.

I am able to tell you about the contents of the service only thanks to the incredible international counter-jihad movement. This movement lives and breathes in the ether of the Internet, on an array of blogs, on YouTube.

First, the blog Vlad Tepes captured the streaming footage of the 80-minute Muslim service. Next, Arabic translator Rita Malik assessed the English and Arabic service for Gates of Vienna and provided a summary that was posted there. Enter Islamic expert Andrew Bostom, author of several indispensable books on Islamic jihad, anti-Semitism and Islamic totalitarianism, who analyzed several of the Koranic verses used in the service by consulting some of the essential Koranic commentaries that Muslims use to understand their religious book.

Bostom posted his findings at his blog, AndrewBostom.org.

Finally, Gates of Vienna and Vlad Tepes compressed everything to create a watchable, educational YouTube video of four and a half minutes.

What exactly did the Muslims preach from their mock-up mosque inside the cathedral far from Christian symbols and imagery save one cross that Muslim worshippers literally turned their back upon? Last week, I mentioned some Koranic verses denigrating Jews and Christians that are typically part of Islamic prayer sessions. One of these, Koran 1:7, was indeed in the main sermon by South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool.

More shocking, however, was the inclusion of Koran 3:26-27. Addressing Allah, this verse sequence begins: “Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endure with honour whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will.”

At his blog, Bostom explains that these lines, as explicated by authoritative Koranic commentaries, contain an inherent threat of jihad conquest.

Bostom shows that classical scholars such as Ibn Kathir (1300-1373) and Al-Suyuti (1445-1505) are in accord on the historical context in which these verses were, as Muslims believe, “revealed” by Allah.

Ibn Kathir relates them to a time when Allah was said to have prepared to allow Muslims “to reach the eastern and western parts of the world and (give) dominance to his religion (Islam) and law (Sharia) over all other religions and laws.” Similarly, Al-Suyuti pegs them to a promise to Muslims conveyed by Muhammad of “sovereignty over Persia and Byzantium” — in other words, sovereignty over Zoroastrians (Persia) and Christians (Byzantium). It is difficult not to notice that these same ancient lands overlap or abut the current ISIS battlefield.

For a 20th-century gloss, Bostom cites the noted Koranic commentary

by Maulana Muhammad Shafi (18971976), a prolific Islamic scholar and former grand mufti of India. Of these same verses, Shafi writes: “In these verses, Muslims have been taught and prompted to make a particular prayer which, in a subtle way, gives an indication that they are going to overpower disbelievers.”

Shafi points out that these same lines “so eloquently (bring) into focus the most perfect power of Allah as it manifests itself in the rise and fall of nations and in revolutions that rock countries. ... Here, enemies of Islam have been warned that they have not learned their lesson from the rise and fall of past wielders of power.”

Enemies of Islam have been warned? Episcopalians can call this “ecumenism,” but it sure sounds like jihad to me. Now, at least, we all know it.

Letters to the Editor A way to cut jail crowding

‌I wish to enlist your help in encouraging the sheriff and the judges in a program that I have been proposing to them that will help alleviate the criminal justice backlog and assure clients a constitutional speedy trial. (It says in Ecclesiastes, “Because justice against an evil deed is not executed speedily, therefore the hearts of men are fully set in them to do evil.”)

For the past few years, the budget committee has been using about $2 million from the “Forest Reserve” fund to balance the budget and provide public health and safety. If we continue this, we will soon run out of money and the first thing to go will be the road deputies because it is not mandated.

Next will be turning criminals loose early because of overcrowding in the jails.

The answer is to give nonviolent criminals a choice. As it is now, their only choice is to go through the criminal justice system. Under my proposed program they could choose to

sign an agreement with the county. They would agree for one year to be drug and alcohol free, to go to Sunday school and church, and if they committed a felony during that time they could expect to serve a double sentence. I think we would have a good little group of boy scouts with very little recidivism. I think it would be best to have our non-violent offenders at home, working and supporting their families and being productive members of the community — and the violent ones locked up.

Encourage the judges and the sheriff.

Nice work, road crews

‌I t is a rare event indeed, when a government entity provides a service that rivals that of private enterprise. When a project is undertaken and the results are noteworthy, it requires comment.

Our own Coos County road

department recently finished some paving overlays in the Coquille valley. The quality of the work rivals what is usual and customary in the private sector. The transitions are smooth and the overlays are uniform and flat. Its obvious that our county roadmaster brought a great deal of expertise with him when he transitioned from the private sector to working for the county. John Rowe and his crew deserve credit for their exemplary work.

Prejudice isn’t what you think

I‌ don’t know if this letter can be printed. It contains one of those hard truths no one wants to talk about.

I don’t know what happened in Ferguson, Mo.; neither do you. Eyewitness accounts vary greatly, and we weren’t there.

I have to believe the grand jury had far more information than we do, however, and this is not about second-guessing them

one way or the other. Instead, something else is bothering me.

I am a white man. I am not prejudiced. I believe passionately that all men are created equal. I also believe that had the events in Ferguson unfolded exactly as they did, except for one difference, things would be very different. Had the young man who was shot been white instead of black, most of us would not have heard about it.

The national news frenzy and nationwide protests would not exist.

That, I believe, actually is prejudice.

Hagel didn’t start the mideast fire ‌D efense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a Vietnam war veteran and the lone Republican on Obama’s national security team, has been fired.

And John McCain’s assessment is dead on.

Hagel, he said, “was never really brought into that real tight circle inside the White House that makes all the decisions which has put us into the incredible debacle that we’re in today throughout the world.”

Undeniably, U.S. foreign policy is in a shambles. But what were the “decisions” that produced the “incredible debacle”?

Who made them? Who supported them?

The first would be George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, a war for which Sens.

John McCain, Joe Biden, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton all voted. At least Sen. Hagel admitted he made a mistake on that vote.

Wi t h o u r i nva s i o n , we dethroned Saddam and destroyed his Sunni Baathist regime. And today the Islamic State, a barbaric offshoot of al-Qaida, controls Mosul, Anbar and the Sunni third of Iraq.

Kurdistan is breaking away.

And a Shia government in Baghdad, closely tied to Tehran and backed by murderous anti-American Shia militias, controls the rest. Terrorism is a daily occurrence.

Such is the condition of the nation which we were promised would become a model

of democracy for the Middle East after a “cakewalk war.” The war lasted eight years for us, and now we are going back — to preHagel vent a catastrophe.

A second decision came in 2011, when a rebellion arose against Bashar Assad in Syria, and we supported and aided the uprising. Assad must go, said Obama. McCain and the neocons agreed.

Now ISIS and al-Qaida are dominant from Aleppo to the Iraqi border with Assad barely holding the rest, while the rebels we urged to rise and overthrow the regime are routed or in retreat.

Had Assad fallen, had we bombed his army last year, as Obama, Kerry and McCain wanted to do, and brought down his regime, ISIS and al-Qaida might be in Damascus today. And America might be facing a decision either to invade or tolerate a terrorist regime in the heart of the Middle East.

Lest we forget, Vladimir Putin pulled our chestnuts out of the fire a year ago, with a brokered deal to rid Syria of chemical weapons.

The Turks, Saudis and Gulf Arabs who aided ISIS’ rise are having second thoughts, but sending no Saudi or Turkish troops to dislodge it.

So the clamor arises anew for U.S. “boots on the ground” to reunite the nations that the

wars and revolutions we supported tore apart.

A third decision was the U.S.-NATO war on Col. Gadhafi’s Libya.

After deceiving the Russians by assuring them we wanted Security Council support for the use of air power simply to prevent a massacre in Benghazi, we bombed for half a year, and brought down Gadhafi.

Now we have on the south shore of the Mediterranean a huge failed state and strategic base camp for Islamists and terrorists who are spreading their poison into sub-Sahara Africa.

The great triumphs of Reagan and Bush 41 were converting Russia into a partner, and presiding over the liberation of Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the old Soviet Union into 15 independent nations.

Unfulfilled by such a victory for peace and freedom, unwilling to go home when our war, the Cold War, was over, Bush 43 decided to bring the entire Warsaw Pact, three Baltic states, and Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia into NATO. For this project, Bush had the enthusiastic support of McCain, the neocons and the liberal interventionists.

Since 1991, we sought to cut the Russians out of the oil and gas of the Caspian basin with a pipeline through the Caucasus to Turkey, bombed Serbia to tear off its cradle province of Kosovo, and engineered colorcoded revolutions in Belgrade, Tbilisi and other capitals to

pull these new nations out of Russia’s sphere of influence.

Victoria Nuland of State and McCain popped up in Maidan Square in Kiev, backing demonstrations to bring down the democratically elected (if, admittedly, incompetent) regime in Ukraine.

T h e U. S. - b a c ke d c o u p succeeded. President Viktor Yanukovych fled, a proWestern regime was installed, and a pro-Western president elected.

Having taken all this from his partner, Putin retrieved the Crimea and Russia’s Black Sea naval base at Sebastopol.

When pro-Russia Ukrainians rose against the beneficiaries of the coup in Kiev, he backed his team, as we backed ours.

Now, we are imposing sanctions, driving Russia further from the West and into a realliance with Beijing, with which Putin has completed two longterm deals for oil and gas running over $700 billion dollars.

As the U.S. and NATO send planes, ships and troops to show our seriousness in the Baltic and Ukraine, Russian planes and ships test Western defenses from Finland to Sweden to Portugal to Alaska and the coast of the continental United States.

Who made these decisions that created the debacle?

Was it those isolationists again?

Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

Give the gift of service ‌DEAR ABBY: For those who are looking for gift suggestions for older parents, may I offer what my kids do for us? They live far away and usually visit us in the spring and fall.

Before they leave, my daughter scrubs my bathroom shower and the rest of the room, cleans my refrigerator, oven, kitchen cabinets, my carpets — things that are difficult for me to do. While she’s inside doing that, my son-in-law is outside trimming trees and bushes, doing general yard cleanup in the spring and raking leaves and disposing of them in the fall.

In addition, during the months BEFORE their visit, my daughter is setDear ting aside and freezbby ing small portions of entrees so we will have future dinn e rs f ro m her meals.

She also freezes an Jeanne assortment Phillips of different soups in ziplock bags, laid flat so they will fit well in my freezer. While they’re here, they cook all the meals and do the cleanup. What a wonderful gift!

Even if some families don’t cook, they could make up small meals with deli purchases and freeze them for their parents. Nothing could be appreciated more.

Instead of buying a useless gift because “We didn’t know what to get you — you said you didn’t want anything,” these are gifts that keep on giving! — TRULY BLESSED IN MONTANA DEAR T R U LY BLESSED: I agree. And you are fortunate to have such caring family members. Please allow me to offer some additional gift suggestions for seniors: Many individuals on f i xe d i n c o m e s wo u l d appreciate a gift basket of goodies such as small cans of tuna, salmon or soup.

Include with them crackers, assorted flavors of instant coffee, herbal teas, soup mixes and cookies.

Gift certificates also make welcome gifts: for groceries, haircuts, manicures, dry cleaning, restaurant meals, theater tickets and department stores.

And don’t forget prepaid calling cards. Create homemade coupons that can be redeemed for chores such as window washing, painting, replacing air conditioning filters and light bulbs, moving heavy furniture for spring and fall cleaning, and transportation for shopping, doctor’s visits, etc.

Because not all seniors drive, bus passes and coupons for senior transportation or taxis can also give the recipient the gift of freedom. Sweat pants, athletic socks and walking shoes may motivate the sedentary to become more active — which improves circulation and cognition for people of every age.

Stationery, stamps and some felt-tipped pens make handy gifts that can be used throughout the year. And so do large-print address books with the information already transferred from the recipients’ records.

And please, don’t forget that the holiday season can be a depressing time for people who are alone. I am often asked for gift ideas for the person “who already has everything.” My answer: The greatest gift a person can give is the gift of yourSELF. If you know someone who could use an outing, offer the most meaningful gift of all — an invitation to share a meal with you or your family.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Rev. Jesse Jackson calls for peace after Ferguson

In this image from U.S. Coast Guard video, one of the members of the crew of a fishing boat that sank is lifted to a helicopter Saturday morning off the Oregon coast, about 8 miles west of Siletz Bay. The Coat Guard rescued five people. Three crew members were pulled to safety by a hovering helicopter, while the other two were rescued by a Coast Guard boat.

Coast Guard rescues 5 after boat sinks off Newport ‌NEWPORT (AP) — U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued five people whose fishing boat sank Saturday in the chilly Pacific waters off the Oregon coast.

The Coast Guard says it received a mayday call about 4:20 a.m. from the crew of the 75-foot Blazer saying they were taking on water 8 miles west of Siletz Bay. The boat crew called 10 minutes later to report that they were putting on cold water immersion suits and deploying a life raft.

A Coast Guard helicopter crew spotted the Blazer and the raft in the pre-dawn darkness shortly after 5 a.m.

Three crew members were pulled to safety by a hovering helicopter, while the other two were rescued by a Coast Guard boat. Three people were treated for minor injuries.

The Blazer sank in 420 feet of water with 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel aboard. The Coast Guard is investigating.

Runner sues man accused of injuring her with rock ‌E UGENE (AP) — A University of Oregon distance runner was hospitalized for two days when a rock thrown from a freeway overpass crashed through her windshield and injured her.

Now, she’s suing two men she says are responsible.

The Eugene RegisterGuard reports that Molly Grabill filed the $950,000 lawsuit last week against Matthew McKinney and Hayden Tabor after the November 2012 incident.

Ta b o r wa s d r iv i n g while McKinney threw the rock, Grabill’s lawsuit says.

G ra b i l l ’s a t to r n ey, Scott Lucas of Eugene, said he initially submitted a damage claim to Tabor’s auto insurer, but that the coverage isn’t enough to compensate Grabill for her injuries.

The lawsuit comes two years to the day from the incident. Under Oregon law, a personal-injury lawsuit must be filed within two years from the date of an injury.

McKinney was arrested in February 2013

and charged with assault and reckless endangerment, but Douglas County p ro s e c u to rs h ave n o t secured an indictment against him.

Deputy District Attorney Shannon Sullivan said Friday that the matter remains open and that she expects the criminal case against McKinney will proceed after “further investigation” is completed.

Grabill spent months

‌P ORTLAND (AP) — Rev. Jesse Jackson called for peace and perseverance on Sunday as he urged congregants in Portland to keep fighting for racial justice.

He gave a morning sermon at Emmanuel Temple, a day after 10 people were arrested in Portland following a protest related to the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting.

Jackson criticized the grand jury that decided Monday not to indict Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-yearold, in August, The Oregonian reported.

But Jackson took aim at other systemic and national racial disparities, including the lack of people of color on the boards of technology companies.

He also called on President Barack Obama and others in Congress to go to Ferguson, according to OPB. “ I t ’s d i s c o u ra g i n g

Eugene residents want trains to silence horns ‌EUGENE (AP) — Residents annoyed by train horns are asking the Eugene City Council to consider silencing them in the city.

Eugene is looking into what it can or should do about noisy train horns through so-called railroad quiet zones, The Register-Guard reported Sunday.

Federal regulations require train engineers to sound locomotive horns for 15 to 20 seconds as they approach crossings where tracks intersect with streets.

But that requirement ca n b e e l i m i n a te d i f certain safety improvements are made.

Train engineers can still sound horns to warn pedestrians and motorists for safety reasons at quiet zone crossings.

About 600 quiet zones have been established throughout the country, including in Portland, Milwaukie, Salem and Tualatin.

The City Council’s initial focus for a quiet zone has been on a 1 ½-mile stretch of Union Pacific Railroad tracks leading from the east edge of downtown through much of the Whiteaker neighborhood.

But resident Jon Belcher and others have asked Mayor Kitty Piercy and city councilors also to examine other areas for quiet zones. Several hundred people also signed an online petition.

“If you are going to look at having quiet zones for trains, you ought to consider the e n t i re c i ty, n o t j u s t

Po te n t i a l re d eve l opment of riverfront p r o p e r t y, i n c l u d i n g condos, offices, shops, restaurants and a public park, has prompted interest in quiet train horns in downtown. But residents throughout the city have long complained about the horn noise.

C i t i e s ca n c rea te quiet zone corridors by installing extra crossing arms, medians and other barriers to preve n t m o to r i s ts f ro m sneaking across railroad tracks when a train approaches. Cities can also convert streets to one-way traffic or close crossings, among other measures.

But the changes can be expensive.

City traffic engineer Tom Larsen said double-arm crossing gates and other equipment can cost up to $1 million per crossing.

The city of Eugene has yet to select which crossings might be changed, what kind of crossing improvements it might make, or find the money to pay for t h e m , t h e Re g i s te rGuard reported.

Salem spent $2.6 million to put in place a quiet zone near the city center that covered 10 railroad crossings.

The city financed the project through a $99.8 million voter-approved property tax measure that paid for a variety of street and other transportation-related projects.

so m e t i m e s, b u t we shouldn’t give up,” Jackson said. “We have won so many battles.”

Jackson also spoke at a rally at the Justice Center in downtown Portland Saturday night, where he urged protesters to be vigilant but nonviolent.

Portland police say that after Jackson left that rally, some protesters marched around downtown and sporadically disrupted traffic.

Officials say some bottles were thrown at officers and a police car was damaged.

Police say the arrests came Saturday night “after a large group of protesters laid down in the street and refused lawful orders to clear the roadway.”

Police said Sunday that seven adults were booked into jail, two were given citations to appear in court and one 17-year-old was released to his mother.

They face charges that include disorderly conduct.

DILBERT

Unitasker is still a waste of time ‌C elebrity chef Alton Brown contends that a kitchen tool that does only one job is mostly useless.

He calls things like a garlic press, strawberry stem remover or hot dog steamer a “unitasker.” His advice?

Don’t waste your time and money on any kitchen tool if it is only Everyday good for one Cheapskate thing.

It sounds a bit like Alton spent time with my grandma, who was big on buying a sack of Mary flour to bake Hunt bread, and then sewing the sack into a dress, and when the dress wore out she would cut it into rags for a rug, or scraps for a quilt.

Garlic press. It does just one thing, and not so well, according to more than a few professional chefs. Alto suggests you do not need one. Well, actually he said, “There is absolutely no reason for a garlic press to exist.

It is utterly completely magnificently useless.” Mincing the garlic with a sharp knife is quick and easy, and you won’t lose all of the oils and garlicky goodness that gets left behind in a press.

Besides, who wants to spend the time cleaning one of THE FAMILY CIRCUS those things?

Strawberry huller.

Easy to use, for sure, and kinda cute, too. But this tool does only one thing: remove the hull of a strawberry.

Alton sees no reason anyone should waste the money on this gizmo. I have to agree since I’ve learned to do the exact same thing but so much better — with a plastic drinking straw. Just hold the strawberry in one hand, push the plastic drinking straw up through the bottom of the strawberry, and the entire hull and stem will pop right through the top.

Electric knife sharpener. Alton contends if he had any knives that he hated, he might use one of these electric things.

Instead, he keeps every blade in his home and garage precision-razor sharp with a whetstone sharpener.

Dehydrator. Just one word from our pro: Useless.

There are myriad ways to dry herbs, fruits and jerky.

Alton uses a box fan, bungie cords and cellulose furnace filers form the hardware store. Me? I find my oven set to the lowest possible heat setting (150 F) with the door slightly ajar to allow for air circulation, does an amazing job.

M a rga r i t a m a k e r.

Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? And it’s a good-looking piece of kitchen machinery.

But it also takes up a lot of space. Truth be told, a margarita machine is pretty much just a blender with stickers on it. As for Alton’s take on the situation, “I suspect people who would buy a margarita machine have already been drinking heavily.” Nicely put, sir.

Stainless-steel avocado pit remover. It’s classy-looking, but so is an Andy Warhol print. Doesn’t mean you need either one in your kitchen. And here again, that pit remover has only one function. If you are really worried about how on MODERATELY CONFUSED earth you will ever get that pit out of the avocado, a spoon and knife (both of which do have many other uses in the kitchen) will do a great job.

Girl Scouts byting into digital for sales ‌N EW YORK (AP) — Watch out world, the Girl Scouts are going digital to sell you cookies.

For the first time in nearly 100 years, Girl Scouts of the USA will allow its young go-getters to push their wares using a mobile app or personalized websites.

But only if their scout councils and guardians say OK. “Girls have been telling us that they want to go into this space,” said Sarah Angel-Johnson, chief digital cookie executive for the organization covering about 2 million girls.

“Online is where entrepreneurship is going.”

And the best news for these digital natives: They can have cookies shipped directly to your doorstep.

More than 1 million scouts, from kindergarten-age Daisies to teens, were expected to opt in as cookie-selling season cranks up this month and the scouting organization gets digital sales underway. But digital sales are intended to enhance, not replace, the paper spreadsheets used to generate an estimated $800 million in cookie sales a year — at anywhere from $3.50 to $5 a box, depending on scout council.

There are important e-lessons here, scout officials said, such as better articulating and tracking goals, learning to handle customers and money in a new way, and more

The Associated Press‌

In this undated photo released by Girl Scouts of the USA Girl Scouts, Bria and Shirell practice selling cookies on one of two new digital platforms. It’s the first time Girl Scouts of the USA has allowed sale of cookies using a mobile app and personalized websites. The Digital Cookie program is intended to enhance, not replace, traditional use of paper spreadsheets. efficiently processing credit card information.

“A lot of people have asked, ‘What took you so long to get online?’ We spend a lot of time thinking how do we make this safe, scalable and smart,” Kelly M. Parisi, chief communications executive for Girl Scouts of the USA, said at a recent demonstration for select media.

Councils were offered one of the two platforms but not both. For web-based sales, scouts customize their pages, using their first names only, and email prospective customers with links to click on for orders.

They can also put up videos explaining who they are

and what they plan to do with their proceeds.

The mobile platform offers tabs for tracking sales and allows for the sale of bundles of different kinds of cookies. It can be used on a phone or tablet.

“They can get them quicker than waiting for me to deliver them because sometimes it takes me a long time to deliver,” offered 11-year-old Priscilla at the preview. The adults at the event asked that only first names of scouts be used.

Added 7-year-old Anna: “My favorite part is that now I can sell more Girl Scout Cookies.” She pulled down about 200 boxes last

year and has upped her goal to 600. Girl Scouts use their cookie money to pay for community service work or troop activities such as camping and other trips.

The websites will not be accessible without an email invitation, requiring the girls to build client lists. And personal information is as protected as any digits out there, for both the scouts and customers, using encryption in some cases.

Much of the responsibility to limit identifying details about scouts online falls on parents.

Troop Leader Karen Porcher of the Bronx has an 11-year-old scout and

is particularly psyched about the digital options.

They live in a house rather than an apartment, and she and her husband work at home, eliminating atoffice cookie and neighborly building sales.

“During cookie season my daughter is wearing her (scout) vest on the subway and people are so excited to see a Girl Scout,” Porcher explained. “Strangers actually will buy a case of cookies and wait for her to call.

This is going to be amazing because now she can just say ‘Give me your business card,’ or ‘I’ll take your email address,’ send the email and they can be delivered. This is gonna be sweet.”

Porcher also sees wordof-mouth value in getting cookies delivered quickly.

“People are going to be walking around with cookies and others are going to say, ‘Whoa, how did you get those already?’”

Zack Bennett of Manhattan has a 9-year-old scout who sold more than 1,000 boxes last year. She hopes to increase her goal to 1,500 this season and went through training to learn how to set up her new cookie website.

But dad won’t be letting her loose alone.

“I’ll be sitting in the backseat to help her, certainly when it comes to credit cards, things of that sort,” he said. “But it makes perfect sense to have it be on the computer. It’s definitely time the Girl Scouts came into the 21st century.”

MIT engineers have high hopes for cheetah robot ‌C AMBRIDGE, Mass.

(AP) — It’s a robot unlike any other: inspired by the world’s fastest land animal, controlled by video game technology and packing nifty sensors — including one used to maneuver drones, satellites and ballistic missiles.

The robot, called the cheetah, can run on batteries at speeds of more than 10 mph, jump about 16 inches high, land safely and continue galloping for at least 15 minutes — all while using less power than a microwave oven.

It’s the creation of researchers at the Massachusetts of Technology, who had to design key elements from scratch because of a lack of or shortcomings in existing technology.

That includes powerful, lightweight motors; electronics that control power for its 12 motors; and an algorithm that determines the amount of force a leg should exert during the

The Associated Press‌

Researcher Hae Won Park plugs the batteries into a robotic cheetah at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. MIT scientists said the robot, modeled after the fastest land animal, may have real-world applications, including for prosthetic legs. split second that it spends on the ground while running — the key to helping the robot maintain balance and forward momentum. An onboard computer organizes data from various sensors and sends commands to each motor.

“This is kind of a Ferrari in the robotics world, like, we have to put all the expensive components and

make it really that instinctive,” said MIT professor Sangbae Kim, who leads the school’s Biomimetic Robotics Lab that designed the robot. “That’s the only way to get that speed.”

Insight gleaned from the design of their prototype could have real-world applications, including the design of revolutionary prosthetics, wearable

technologies, all-terrain wheelchairs and vehicles that can travel efficiently in rough terrain much like animals do, Kim said. There are hopes the robot will be able to be used in search and rescue operations in hazardous or hostile environments where it’s too risky to send a human rescuer.

“When the robot is running, at every step, we calculate the appropriate amount of the force to the legs so that the robot can balance itself,” said MIT research scientist HaeWon Park, who wrote the complex algorithm used to control the cheetah, which weighs around 70 pounds — about the same as one of its female feline counterparts.

Sensors inside the robot measure the angle of the leg and that information is sent to an onboard computer that also organizes data from the Inertial Measurement Unit, or

IMU, which is also used to maneuver drones and ballistic missiles, Park said.

The project is funded by the U.S. Department o f De fe n se ’s De fe n se Advanced Research Projects Agency. The military research arm is also funding a similar robot being developed by Boston Dynamics.

The company says its version is powered by an offboard hydraulic pump and uses a boom-like device to keep it running in the center of the treadmill.

Crafting the cheetah robot took five years of designing, testing, tweaking and plenty of confidence to ignore those who said electric motors aren’t strong enough to propel a running mechanical cheetah powered by batteries.

Researchers had to exercise a lot of patience during test runs. The robot broke dozens of legs manufactured by 3-D printers and reinforced with Kevlar strips and carbon fiber.

‘12 Days of Christmas’ costs more than $116K ‌P HILADELPHIA (AP) — The cost of six geesea-laying spiked considerably this year, while most of the items in the carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” saw little to no increase, according to the 31st annual PNC Wealth Management Christmas Price Index.

A set of gifts in each verse of the song would set you back $27,673 in stores, an increase of less than $300

— or 1 percent — from last year. But shoppers turning to the Internet would see a bigger bump of about 8 percent over last year’s online prices, bringing the set of gifts in each verse to $42,959. Buyers looking to purchase all the items each time they were mentioned in the song — 364 that is — would spend $116,273, a modest 1.4 percent increase from a year ago. PNC’s

sources for the Christmas Price Index include retailers, the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, Philadelphiabased PHILADANCO and the Pennsylvania Ballet Company.

Here is a look at the full set of prices from PNC Wealth Management: • Partridge, $20; last year: $15 • Pear tree, $188; last year: $184

Congress crams unfinished agenda into final days ‌WASHINGTON (AP) — Lame-duck lawmakers return to Washington on Monday facing a stacked agenda and not much time to get it all done before the new Congress convenes in January and a Republican takeover is complete.

Their to-do list includes keeping the government running into the new year, renewing expired tax breaks for individuals and businesses and approving a defense policy measure that has passed for more than 50 years in a row. They hope to get it all done in two weeks without stumbling into a government shutdown.

Also pending are President Barack Obama’s

requests for money to combat Islamic State militants, battle Ebola and deal with an influx of unaccompanied Central American children who have crossed into the U.S. Among the lower profile items on the agenda are renewing the government’s terrorism risk insurance program and extending the ban on state and federal taxes on access to the Internet.

Obama’s move to protect millions of immigrants from deportation proceedings and make them eligible for work permits appears to have made it more difficult to navigate the must-do items through a Capitol where cooperation already

is in short supply.

The No. 1 item is preventing a government closure when a temporary funding measure expires on Dec. 11. The House and Senate Appropriations committees are negotiating a $1 trillion-plus spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1 and are promising to have it ready by the week of Dec. 8.

The tax-writing committees are trying to renew a bundle of expired tax breaks such as the deductions for state and local sales taxes and the research and experimentation credit. Some, like tax credits for renewable energy projects such as wind farms, are a hard sell

for GOP conservatives but are eagerly sought by Midwestern Republicans such as Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.

The House has passed legislation that would make several of the tax breaks permanent; the Senate’s approach has been to extend them only for 2014 and 2015. Negotiators appeared close to an agreement last week only to have the White House put it on ice with a veto threat.

The administration said an emerging plan by House Republicans and top Senate Democrats was tilted too far in favor of businesses.

The president’s authority to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels to fight

Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria expires Dec. 11. Lawmakers probably will renew it while postponing action until 2015 on a broader, new authorization to use military force.

Obama also is requesting more than $5 billion to pay for sending additional noncombat troops and munitions to Iraq and cover other military and intelligence costs associated with fighting the militants.

He wants $6.2 billion to tackle Ebola at its source in West Africa and to secure the U.S. against any possible outbreak. Also pending is a $3.7 billion request to address the immigrant children.

B R I E F S J‌ apan’s ‘clean’ coal projects highlight lack of rules KANCI KULON, Indonesia (AP) — About $1 billion in loans under a U.N. initiative for poor countries to tackle global warming is going toward the construction of power plants fired by coal, the biggest human source of carbon pollution.

Japan gave the money to help its companies build three such plants in Indonesia and listed it with the United Nations as climate finance, The Associated Press has found. Japan says these plants burn coal more efficiently and are therefore cleaner than old coal plants.

However, they still emit twice as much heat-trapping carbon dioxide as plants running on natural gas. Villagers near the Cirebon plant in Indonesia also complain that stocks of shrimp, fish and green mussels have dwindled.

Japan’s coal projects highlight the lack of rules to steer the flow of climate finance from rich to poor countries — a critical part of U.N. talks on global warming, which resume Monday in Lima, Peru. There is no watchdog agency that ensures the money is spent in the most effective way, and no definition of what climate finance is.

Japan, a top contributor of climate finance, denies any wrongdoing and has done nothing illegal — there are no rules against counting such projects as climate finance in the U.N. system.

Mayor: Wilson to get no severance FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson did not receive a severance package when he resigned over the weekend, the St. Louis suburb’s mayor said Sunday.

Wi l so n , 2 8, wo n ’t receive any further pay or benefits, and he and the city have cut their ties, Mayor James Knowles told reporters a day after Wilson tendered his resignation, which was effective immediately.

Wilson, who is white, had been on administrative leave since he killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, during an Aug. 9 confrontation. A grand jury decided Monday not to indict him, sparking days of sometimes violent protests in Ferguson and other cities.

Wilson wrote in his resignation letter that his “continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance I cannot allow.”

His lawyer, Neil Bruntrager, told The Associated Press that Wilson decided to step aside after police Chief Tom Jackson told him about the alleged threats on Saturday.

Afghan president to overhaul security KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Facing an intensified Taliban insurgency, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani plans to fire senior civilian and military leaders in the country’s most volatile provinces to reinvigorate the battle against militants, officials have told The Associated Press.

Already, Kabul police chief Gen. Mohammad Zahir has resigned following a string of attacks in the capital over three days that killed four foreigners and several Afghan civilians. Officials and diplomats who spoke to the AP say Ghani next will remove governors and generals in five provinces where the Taliban have held territory for years.

With Afghan security forces suffering high casualties in the run-up to the official Dec. 31 end of the U.S. and NATO combat mission, the newly elected president is eager to chart a new course.

“It was not held in place with a saddle,” he explained, “which is what should have happened. Over the years, in those wet conditions, it just weakened that threaded connection right there and it popped out.”

Stokes said there was a hole about the size of a football and it necessitated replacing a whole section of pipe. At one point, he said, there was a 30-foot geyser coming out of the pipe.

Crews worked through Thanksgiving and managed to get the pipe replaced on Friday.

“The broken section is completely fixed,” he said, “completely repaired and it’s stable. That’s a good thing.”

The second break happened Saturday morning just off Highway 101, north of Winchester Bay. “It was really interesting,” Stokes said. “When I got the call on Saturday morning, at about 4:30, that they were having pressure problems ... that they couldn’t get pressure through the lines.”

“That meant there was some sort of a problem, somewhere,” Stokes said.

“They started looking along Highway 101 for a leak and, between 5 and 6 in the morning they found it.”

They unearthed the pipe and found that plant roots had worked their way to the pipe connectors.

“It actually worked the rubber seal out of it,” Stokes said. “The water just started to spray out of that pipe connection.”

Crews then worked to completely replace that pipe, even though it was in solid condition.

Stokes said the two events may not have been related.

“Just a strange sense of timing,” he said. “It was a real unfortunate situation.”

Stokes admits some of Reedsport’s infrastructure is decades old.

“We have an aging infrastructure,” he said. “Water, storm drain, sewer. We have some of the water lines, from Clear Lake ... are high strength that have been replaced, previously, but there are, probably, several miles of main water line ... that are not replaced.

They’re between 40 and 60 years old.”

by Ousley take up a large section of the wall. Pottery, rock fountains, wall hangings and a variety of other art pieces are also on display and for sale.

“We like to have a place where some of the very creative individuals in the region can show their works,” Waxham said. “I look for work that I admire and that will fit in well here. It’s a very eclectic mix of creative work.”

That mix includes Waxham’s work, too. There is a full circular rack of her multi-colored hand woven wraps and cocoons next to a large selection of scarves and hats. Waxham’s handmade quilts and beaded jewelry are also displayed around the gallery.

Waxham herself has

for coho as well as supplemental and standard surveys for Chinook and chum salmon on waterways west of the Coast Range.

By using a hand-held P DA (personal digital assistant), crews tally up the number of live salmon, by species and sex, spotted on an assigned survey.

been around and involved with textile arts as long as she can remember. She grew up with a mother who made all her clothes during her high school years and under her tutelage, Waxham herself became a seamstress.

Inside the gallery toward the back, her loom is set up with 15 yards of different colored and patterned thread equipped to create a series of garments.

“I’ve weaved for about 35 years,” she said. “It’s like anything else ... when it goes well it’s pleasant and when all the yarn is tangled it’s frustrating.”

That frustration might be why Waxham mixes things up by engaging in other art forms and with other artists in her gallery. “ I l i ke t r y i n g n ew things,” she said. “I’ve done some paintings and collage for some community shows in Bandon. I’m involved with so many different artists that there’s a lot of inspiration.”

For his part, Medlin finds

both the artists involved in the gallery and those that visit intriguing.

“You get to meet tourists and locals as well as the artists,” Medlin said.

“We’re dealing with an interesting mix of human beings.”

In general, both Waxham and Medlin try to make the gallery a very friendly place.

“Some people are intimidated by art galleries, but this is a place where people can come in and visit,” Waxham said.

They also strive to offer pieces that are affordable.

Waxham’s woven products range from $30 to $98.

“We have stuff that’s low-end, medium- and high-end ... because regular people need art, too,” she said.

Mostly, Waxham said she wants to honor the original pieces that she displays and the artistic process itself.

“I think art is essential,” she said. “You need to have creativity in your life.”

THE WORLD

Lou Sennick, The World‌

North Bend’s Cam Lucero throws the ball under pressure from two Gladstone defenders, Carter Watts and a teammate, during the Class 4A championship game Saturday evening at Hillsboro Stadium.

‘No Regrets’ Bulldogs fall in title game GEORGE ARTSITAS The World‌

‌HILLSBORO — As the Gladstone’s offense moseyed onto the field at Hillsboro Stadium to kneel out the final 57 seconds of its 35-17 Class 4A title game w in, North Bend sophomore center Max Freeman trudged to the sideline, walked past his teammates and isolated himself.

As Gladstone took the final s nap, Freeman found seclusion near the Bulldogs’ equipment, yanked off his helmet and slammed the matte-brown lid on a metal bench hard enough to make a dent.

Thirty seconds later Freeman was back with his team, helmet o n to hide his tears as North Bend was sent home from Hillsboro without a blue championship trophy for the second time in three years.

It was the first time Freeman had ever lost a varsity football game.

A nd for North Bend’s 14 seniors, Saturday will be their last. “ Most kids and coaches never get to experience playing in a state championship football game, but our seniors have earned their way to one twice,” North Bend head coach Gary Prince said. “They had a great s eason, one I hope that over time they will look back on with a lot of pride.”

Despite North Bend’s impressive four-year ascension into the elite in Class 4A — the 42-7 overall record, three straight semifinal appearances and two of three championship games — the Bulldogs who entered as freshmen during Prince’s first year as head coach won’t graduate with the school’s first championship.

But finishing second in state, with an 11-1 record and the most p rolific offense in Class 4A,

overall, and we just look at it with no regrets.”

North Bend fell behind almost immediately. On the Gladiators’ t hird play, Handsome Smith skirted 59 yards for an early 7-0 lead within 90 seconds of kickoff.

Smith, the focal point of the Gladiators’ offense and Tri-Valley Conference offensive MVP, eviscerated North Bend on the g round. Smith had 212 yards on 20 carries and three touchd owns rushing, the final two from 5 and 51 yards out to seal the win in the fourth quarter.

He also added a 24-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter to give Gladstone a 14-10 l ead heading into half after a 34-yard Ian Bream field goal put the Bulldogs up most of the second quarter. “ (Their run defense) was a ctually really good, our line j ust brought it today,” Smith said, adding that the Bulldog defense was “100 percent better” than the teams the undefeated Gladiators (12-0) faced in the Tri-Valley Conference.

“They just opened up holes and I hit them.”

F or the second straight week, multiple running backs were able to pass the century m ark rushing against North B end. Last week it was the three-headed rushing attack of Mazama (Joey Lancaster, Donneal Hyde and Anthony Hanseth) who all went for over 100 yards.

In the finals, Zach Smith followed Handsome Smith with a Lou Sennick‌ big night of his own. He had 122 North Bend’s Drew Matthews and Gladstone’s Eric Prom go for the Bulldog pass yards on 22 carries and a 3-yard Saturday evening. Matthews came up with the ball as he hit the ground, but the touchdown midway through the pass was ruled incomplete. third quarter that put Gladiators up for good at 21-17. makes silver linings in 2014 easy whole,” senior Levi Rider said.

As a team, Gladstone rushed to find. Even if they didn’t get “Not just one game where we for 375 yards on 53 attempts, the cherry on top, North Bend didn’t come out on top, but a literally running away with its whole season where we played can still enjoy its sundae. “ You have to take it as a the best we possibly could have See Finals ,B4

Mariota leads Ducks over Beavers ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press‌

‌CORVALLIS — Marcus Mariota turned what c ould be his last Civil War game into a Heisman Trophy highlight reel.

T he junior quarterback threw for 367 yards a nd four touchdowns, a nd also ran for two more scores, leading No. 3 Oregon to a 47-19 victory over Oregon State in the 118th meeting of the rivals Saturday night.

“That guy is just such a stud,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said about M ariota. “It starts at t he beginning of last week just in terms of his approach, which is infectious to everybody.”

Oregon (11-1, 8-1 Pac12), No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, now prepares to face Arizona in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. “ We’re just going to

continue to approach it just like any other game,” s aid Mariota, a junior who is likely to enter the NFL draft.

Freshman Royce Freeman rushed for 135 yards a nd also caught one of M ariota’s touchdown passes. Fellow freshman C harles Nelson caught two TD passes and Byron Marshall had six catches for 131 yards and a score.

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota throws a pass during the first quarter Saturday.

‌The Southwestern Oregon Community College women’s basketball team finished second at the Clackamas Thanksgiving Tournament on Sunday, falling 84-72 to the host school. “ We just didn’t rebound as well as we needed to,” SWOCC coach Mike Herbert said. “They h ad 20 offensive rebounds, w hich can’t happen, and we turned it over 29 times.”

The Lakers trailed 44-41 at halftime and fell behind by 20 at one point in the second half.

Nike Lee and Yvonne Daniels both were named to the all-tournament team. In the championship game, Lee had 24 points and seven rebounds and Daniels had 13 points and seven rebounds.

Aminata Cole added 10 points a nd 12 boards, while Brooke Davison and Nitteayah Barfield each grabbed eight rebounds.

“We just need to do a better job taking care of the ball against the press and we need to finish better at the basket,” Herbert said.

The Lakers reached the championship game by beating NWAC S outh Region rival Umpqua 75-69 on Saturday.

D aniels had 18 points and six rebounds and Lee added 16 points.

SWOCC built a 41-21 halftime lead and then held on.

“We played really well (in the first half),” Herbert said. “We took good shots. They ran a zone and we moved the ball well and were really getting good looks.”

SWOCC outrebounded the Riverhawks in the first half, but Umpqua rallied in the second half with a tough man-to-man defensive set, Herbert said.

U mpqua got within three points before the Lakers stepped u p their aggressiveness on offense and drew some fouls and made free throws to secure the victory.

“They made good decisions,” he said. “Last week, they were making poor decisions. For the most part they kept their heads, c omposure and focus. They showed maturity as a team.

“They played smart basketball tonight. It’s encouraging to see that this early in the year.”

The Lakers host New Hoe on Tuesday in a doubleheader with the men. The women’s game tips off at 5 p.m.

MEN SWOCC’s men fell to Olympic 105-90 in the Red Devil Classic at Longview, Wash., meaning the Lakers didn’t advance to the final day of the tournament.

It’s the first time in the past few years that SWOCC hasn’t reached the final day of a threeday event – teams must win at least once in the first two days.

Coach Trevor Hoppe said the Lakers played better than a night earlier.

SWOCC led 58-51 at halftime before Olympic rallied.

“We are going to take some positives from this weekend,” Hoppe said. “Each game, we’re getting better. We just need to put a whole 40 minutes together and something good will happen.”

The Lakers did put five players in double figures Saturday.

Dvante Howard had 28 points and 10 rebounds.

“He did a great job getting to the basket,” Hoppe said.

Jordan Willis added 20 points, while Ivan Harper had 13, Garrett Stout 11 and Cooper Stateler 10.

Hoppe quickly was looking ahead to the game against New Hope.

“We get a quick turnaround and we get to do it again,” Hoppe said. “We keep getting better.

That’s a good thing.”

Blazers start new win streak ‌PORTLAND (AP) — Even LaMarcus Aldridge didn’t feel well.

Andrew Wiggins and Mo Williams, played even though they were ailing.

Despite being shorthanded, they still kept the Blazers off balance.

“They were in a zone and we just didn’t do a good job reading it,” Aldridge said.

Wesley Matthews added 23 points for the Blazers, including six 3-pointers for his third straight game with at least five 3-pointers. The Blazers led by as many as 16 points in the second half.

Portland (13-4) was coming off a 112-99 loss to Memphis on Friday night that snapped a nine-game winning streak.

“In the end it looked like a good game, but it was a struggle for most of the night as far as just kind of getting into a rhythm,” Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. “Minnesota did a good job of changing things up, going with a zone, so it was a game that I felt didn’t have a lot of rhythm.”

Shabazz Muhammad came off the bench with a career-high 28 points for Minnesota, which used just nine players. The Timberwolves have won just four games this season, including a 120-119 win in Los Angeles over the Lakers on Friday.

Injuries and illness have decimated the Timberwolves (4-11). The latest was rookie forward Andrew Wiggins, who played just under 19 minutes after he was a game-time decision with a flu-like illness. He

sat out the entire fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves were already playing without guards Ricky Rubio (left ankle) and Kevin Martin (fractured right wrist), and centers Nikola Petrovic (sprained right wrist) and Ronny Turiaf (right hip).

Williams, who played last season for the Trail Blazers, was playing for Minnesota despite battling strep throat and pink eye.

He finished with 21 points and 11 assists, playing 40 minutes.

“I’m a team guy so I’m going to do whatever it takes until we can get back healthy,” Williams said, but added about his minutes: “I feel it. I feel it right now.”

Portland was without guard Will Barton because of gastritis. Damian Lillard had also fought a bug earlier in the week.

The Timberwolves went up 30-22 on the Blazers after Anthony Bennett’s 21-foot jumper in the second quarter.

Portland closed the gap and tied it 36-36 on Joel Freeland’s basket before pulling in front on Allen Crabbe’s 3-pointer.

Aldridge’s buzzer-beating layup gave the Blazers the 48-40 lead at the half.

The Blazers extended the lead to 61-48 on Wesley Matthew’s 3-pointer with 7:24 left in the third quarter. Portland had an 8-0 run to close out the quarter for a 75-61 lead.

T h e T i m b e rwo lve s closed within 89-80 on G o rg u i D i e n g ’s s h o r t jumper with 6:46 left.

Thadeus Young’s layup narrowed it to 91-84.

Lillard hit a 3-pointer with 4:10 left to extend Portland’s lead to 96-85.

Lillard finished with 17 points.

“I though defensively our zone was good tonight,” M innesota coach Flip Saunder said. “But they scored a lot of their offense out of our offense. We had some turnovers and some ill-advised shots, and they were able to score in those situations.”

TIP INS Timberwolves: The NBA granted the Timberwolves a roster exemption so they could expand their roster to 16 players because of all the injuries. Minnesota signed free agent forward Jeff Adrien on Saturday to add some much-needed depth.

Adrien is a 6-foot-8 power forward who averaged 6.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 53 games with Milwaukee and Charlotte last year.

Trail Blazers: It was Seahawks night at the Moda Center, and the Lombardi Trophy was on display. Seahawks owner Paul Allen also owns the Blazers.

HAPPY 100th!

It was Stotts’ 100thvictory as coach of the Blazers.

“I wish we could have gotten it against Memphis,” he quipped.

ALDRIDGE’S REBOUNDS With 15 rebounds Sunday night, Aldridge moved into a tie with Buck Williams for the fourth-most career rebounds in franchise history, at 4,861.

UP NEXT The Timberwolves visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.

The Trail Blazers visit the Denver Nugget on Tuesday night.

Alabama moves to No. 1 The Associated Press ‌Alabama is No. 1 in The A ssociated Press college football poll for the first time this season, replacing u ndefeated Florida State in a vote that was about as close as it could get.

T he Crimson Tide (111) received 25 of a possible 59 first-place votes from the media panel and 1,426 points. The Seminoles (120) have 29 first-place votes and 1,423 points.

The last time the No. 2 team had more first-place votes than the No. 1 team this late in the season was Nov. 25, 1968, when No. 1 Ohio State had 21 1/2 firstp laces votes to Southern California’s 24 1/2.

Alabama is No. 1 for the 72nd time overall and first since it lost last year’s Iron Bowl. The Tide beat Auburn 55-44 on Saturday.

I t is also the seventh straight season the Crimson Tide has been No. 1 at s ome point, the longest s uch streak since Miami from 1986-92.

Florida State is the first team to lose the No. 1 ranking twice in a season since Penn State in 1997.

T he last time a No. 1 team had a loss and No. 2 w as undefeated this late in the season was Nov. 27, 1993, when Florida State (11-1) held the top spot and Nebraska (11-0) was No. 2.

N o. 3 Oregon received five first-place votes in the latest poll. TCU jumped two spot to No. 4. Baylor slipped one to No. 5 and Ohio State moved up one to No. 6. No. 7 is Michigan State, followed by Arizona and Kansas State. Mississippi State fell six places to No. 10 after losing to Mississippi.

Missing Ohio State player found dead‌ COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio State football player w ho disappeared after sending his parents a text message about his concussions was found in a trash bin, the victim of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

A woman and her son l ooking for items in a dumpster found the body around 2:30 p.m. Sunday and contacted the authorities. “ At this time we are a ble to confirm through tattoos here at the scene that it is the body of Kosta

K arageorge,” said police s p o ke s m a n Sg t . R i c h Weiner.

Weiner said a preliminary investigation showed that Karageorge apparently died of a self-inflicted guns hot wound. A handgun was found in the dumpster, he said.

Karageorge went missing Wednesday, and police f ound his body within a couple hundred yards of his home and about a half block from High Street, the main artery of the campus. Karageorge had last been seen at his apartment in Columbus, when his roommates said he left to go on a walk.

Karageorge’s parents filed a missing-person report Wednesday evening, and his mother, Susan Karageorge, told police he had had several concussions and a few spells of being extremely confused, according to the r eport. She said that at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday he texted a message apologizing and saying the concussions had messed up his head. “I am sorry if I am an embarrassment,” he said.

on aggregate.

Road goals were used as a tiebreaker in the MLS Cup playoffs for the first time this season, and Los Angeles used it to the full advantage following a 1-0 win in the first-leg of the conference finals last weekend.

After surrendering goals to Brad Evans and Dempsey’s in the first 32 minutes, Juninho’s goal was the difference. The Galaxy will go for their fifth MLS championship and kept the career of Landon Donovan going for one more game.

L os Angeles will host Eastern Conference champ ion New England in the final next Sunday.

Seattle was attempting to reach the MLS Cup final for the first time in franchise history.

Oregon hands Portland State first setback ‌E UGENE (AP) — With his team off to another slow start, Oregon coach Dana Altman turned to his bench to throw some fire and ice at Portland State.

Jalil Abdul-Bassit provided the heat with all 19 of his points by halftime, and Jordan Bell finished with half of the Ducks’ 12 blocked shots that cooled off the Vikings as Oregon roared away early to an 81-59 victory on Sunday night.

Joseph Young also had 19 points for the Ducks (4-2), who had five players in double figures and snapped a two-game losing streak. Dillon Brooks had a double-double with 16 points, 12 in the second half, and a season-high 14 rebounds.

Bell also had a doubledouble with 10 points and 10 rebounds to go with his six blocks. Casey Benson, the third freshman starter for Altman, finished with

13 points.

With no starter taller than 6-foot-6, Oregon’s sudden shot-blocking prowess, led by the 6-foot-9 Bell, helped hold the Vikings (4-1) to a season-low 25.8 percent shooting (17 of 66).

DaShaun Wiggins led Portland State with 15 points off the bench, and Bryce White and Braxton Tucker added 10 apiece.

“They just kind of put their heads down and drove

it as hard as they could to the basket” Altman said, “which allowed us to come over from the weak side a number of times (for blocks). “(Bell) did a nice job of getting a few. Jordan’s got the ability to get off his feet quick. When his knees are bent, he’s a pretty good athlete.”

The Vikings started their season with a 76-68 victory at USC, the first in nine tries for coach Tyler

Geving against a Pac-12 opponent, but they were no match for the Ducks after the first three minutes and 40 seconds.

Portland State opened a brief 8-2 lead before Oregon took control on both ends of the floor.

After missing their first four three-point attempts, the Ducks made five of their next seven — including four straight by AbdulBassit — to fuel a 27-1 run.

During the seven-minute

blitz, the Vikings misfired on all 14 of their shots from the field and had five blocked to fall behind 29-9.

“We got stops defensively, that was the big thing,” Benson said. “Getting out in transition and getting some easy baskets really helped.”

Abdul-Bassit finished the half shooting 6-for-7 and had five 3s — the last of the circus variety that he banked home from the right of the key.

Hermiston beats Silverton for Class 5A crown ‌H ILLSBORO (AP) — Hermiston senior Chase Knutz passed for 248 yards and three touchdowns and Bulldogs won the school’s first state football title with a 34-12 win over Silverton in the OSAA Class 5A championship game Saturday.

Knutz threw touchdown passes of 30, 31 and 34 yards. Junior running back Samuel Colbray had 34 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown to lead Hermiston’s ground game.

This was the first-ever state title in football, basketball or baseball for Hermiston (12-1).

“This is a wonderful moment,” Hermiston coach Mark Hodges said. “We’ve

never won a ball sport at Hermiston. This was a team of faith. There was something special about this team all year long.”

Silverton (12-1) was seeking its first state title since 1978. The Foxes, who outscored opponents 48272 in their first 12 games, managed only 295 offensive yards against Hermiston.

Quarterback Cole Chandler completed 14 of 31 passes for 219 yards for Silverton.

It was a tale of two halves for Hermiston’s offense.

In the first half, Knutz passed for 202 yards and two touchdowns. During the second half, the Bulldogs turned to their running game, as Colbray had

24 carries for 80 yards after halftime.

Hermiston stunned Silverton with a 17-point first quarter. Going into the game, the Foxes were giving up an average of six points a game, best in Oregon for all classifications for 2014.

It was the first time Silverton had trailed in a game all season.

“It set a tone. I don’t think they were ready for that,” Knutz said.

The Bulldogs scored on their first three drives. Luis Medina kicked a 28-yard field goal to give Hermiston a 3-0 lead. During the final 4:34 of the first quarter, Knutz threw touchdown passes of 31 and 30 yards to increase Hermiston’s lead

to 17-0.

Silverton finally got its offense going in the second quarter, closing to 17-10 on Austin Weisz’s 1-yard touchdown run with 3:49 left before halftime. Hermiston claimed a 20-10 halftime lead when Medina booted a 29-yard field goal on the final play of the second quarter.

Silverton opened the third quarter with a productive drive, but Hermiston turned back the Foxes with Carson Morter’s interception at the Bulldogs’ 12.

What transpired next was a championship-type drive for Hermiston. The Bulldogs marched 88 yards in 18 plays, finishing with Colbray’s 6-yard run to the

end zone for a 27-10 lead one minute into the fourth quarter. Colbray had 15 carries for 64 yards on the drive that consumed more than nine minutes.

“Sam got better as the game wore on. All of a sudden a team that was too physical and everyone said couldn’t be run on, got run on,” Hodges said.

Class 3A Vale 45, Harrisburg 19: The Vikings scored the first 18 points and cruised to the win.

Zac Jacobs, Andrew Weber and Lane Cummings had two touchdowns each and all rushed for more than 100 and Vale rushed for 489 total yards as a team.

Class 2A Burns 49, Heppner 0: The Hilanders built up a 42-0 halftime lead and cruised to the win.

Austin Feist passed for four scores and Trace Tiller had two receiving touchdowns and one on the ground in the win.

Class 1A Adrian 46, Sherman 28: Adrian scored the last three touchdowns to come from behind for the win as Morgan White scored four touchdowns.

White ran for 166 yards a n d te a m m a te C h a s e Walker rushed for 201.

Bengals build lead in AFC North The Associated Press ‌ ne point was enough O for the Cincinnati Bengals to create some separation in the AFC North.

The Bengals increased their lead in the all-winning division to 1 1/2 games on Sunday by squeezing past Tampa Bay 14-13.

Their brethren in the sector all fell: Baltimore blowing a lead late and falling to San Diego 34-33; Pittsburgh bowing to New Orleans 35-31; and Cleveland losing at Buffalo 26-10.

“I’m pleased that we basically overcame ourselves and won the football game,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.

“We had, obviously, the turnovers offensively that led to scores, we had penalties on defense that kept drives alive, and those are things we overcame,” Lewis added. “They’re going to show up once in a while, but we seemed to have them all today. ... We kind of got in our own way all day.”

But it turned out far better for the Bengals than for the rest of the division.

At Tampa, Andy Dalton ran for one touchdown and threw to A.J. Green for another, helping the Bengals overcome those mistakes.

Dalton shrugged off three first-half interceptions, and the Bengals (8-3-1) weathered 10 penalties and an illadvised onside kick to win on the road for the third consecutive week, a franchise first.

Tampa Bay (2-10) threatened in the closing minutes.

However, a 21-yard completion that would have put the

The Associated Press‌

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton throws a pass against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the first quarter Sunday.

Bucs in field goal range was overturned after a replay review confirmed the Bucs had 12 men on the field on the play.

The ball was moved back to the 46, an additional 14 seconds were added to the clock, and Tampa Bay turned over the ball on downs.

“Blame the head coach.

Bad move on my part, (I) didn’t see it,” coach Lovie Smith said. “We had 12 guys on the field. Can’t happen.”

Chargers 34, Ravens 33: At Baltimore, Philip Rivers capped a frantic drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Eddie Royal with 38 seconds to go. The Chargers (8-4) trailed 30-20 with 6:13 remaining and 33-27 with 2:22 left before Rivers brought them back.

Following a pass interference call against Anthony Levine in the end zone, Rivers hit Royal to conclude an 80-yard march to the Chargers’ third straight win.

Baltimore (7-5) lost at home in November for the first time since 2009. The

Ravens were 11-0 at home against West Coast teams.

Saints 35, Steelers 32: At Pittsburgh, Drew Brees threw five touchdowns for the ninth time in his career.

Kenny Stills caught five passes for a career-high 162 yards and a score as the Saints (5-7) ended a threegame losing streak.

The Steelers (7-5) kept New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham without a catch, but it hardly mattered.

Bills 26, Browns 10: QB Kyle Orton and defensive end Jerry Hughes scored touchdowns 10 seconds apart in the third quarter for the host Bills (7-5).

Taking over with 12:01 left after starter Brian Hoyer threw his second interception, Johnny Manziel capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a 10-yard run that cut Buffalo’s lead to 20-10.

Cleveland (7-5) lost for only the second time in six games.

Packers 26, Patriots 21: In what some predict was a Super Bowl preview, the

host Packers moved to 9-3.

Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns, Eddie Lacy powered for key yards in the fourth quarter, and the Green Bay defense stood firm late in the game.

Rodgers bested Tom Brady in the first meeting between the star quarterbacks as starters.

Brady finished with two touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell for New England (9-3), which had its seven-game winning streak snapped.

Broncos 29, Chiefs 16: At Kansas City, C.J. Anderson rushed for 168 yards and caught a 15-yard touchdown pass, and Demaryius Thomas also had a TD reception from Peyton Manning to help the Broncos (9-3) beat Kansas City for the sixth straight time.

Colts 49, Redskins 27: At Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw a career-high five touchdown passes and topped the 300-yard mark for a franchise-record 10th time this season.

Falcons 29, Cardinals 18: At Atlanta, Julio Jones had a career day with 10 receptions for 189 yards and a touchdown to keep the Falcons in first place in the NFC South via a tiebreaker over New Orleans.

Texans 45, Titans 21: At Houston, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for a franchiserecord six touchdowns, and DeAndre Hopkins had a career-best 238 yards receiving and two scores.

Fitzpatrick returned to the lineup after being benched for two games for Ryan Mallett, who sustained a season-ending chest injury last week.

Southern Oregon upsets Carroll THE WORLD ‌ outhern Oregon UniS versity’s football team rallied from a big deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Carroll 45-42 in snowy Helena, Mont., on Saturday and advance to the NAIA semifinals.

O regon State’s Sean M annion ends his college career as the Pac-12’s all-time leader in passing yards with 13,600 and the school record holder with 83 touchdown passes.

M annion threw for 162 yards and a 20-yard touchdown to Hunter Jarmon in the third quarter.

A fterward, Mannion embraced Mariota.

“I’ve played against him for a number of years and gotten to know him as a p erson, he’s someone I consider a friend,” Mannion said. “He’s a great, great player.”

A rizona (10-2, 7-2) c linched a spot in the c hampionship game on Friday, when UCLA fell to Stanford and the Wildcats (10-2, 7-2) defeated Arizona State 42-35. Oregon’s lone loss this season came to Arizona at Autzen Stadium back on Oct. 2.

S hould the Ducks get revenge on Arizona on Friday, they’ll be one of the four teams headed to the first college football playoffs. “ We talked a little bit a bout preparing to give somebody our best shot.

I would have said it about whoever was next,” Helfrich said. “But certainly

our guys know the ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda’ of some o f that night. And a lot of that night is Arizona is really good.”

T he six-touchdown night also all but assures that Mariota will be one of the Heisman Trophy finalists announced on Dec. 8.

M ariota has thrown for 36 touchdowns this season, run for 11 scores and caught another.

H i s 36 to u c h d ow n p asses set a new school record, eclipsing Darron Thomas’ 33 in 2011. And it was his fifth straight game with at least four touchdowns. “ It was the week of preparation, and coach did an awesome job of preparing us for every look they w ere going to give us,” Mariota said. “When you don’t have to think about it too much and you just play naturally and instinctively, you play a lot better.”

Mariota hit Nelson with a 29-yard TD pass on the D ucks’ opening series, b ut the 2-point convers ion failed. Matt Wogan added a 30-yard field goal to make it 9-0.

With the scoring pass, Mariota became the only q uarterback in FBS history to throw at least one t ouchdown in each of his first 38 games. That’s every game of Mariota’s career at Oregon.

T he Ducks extended t he lead with Mariota’s 1 2-yard screen pass to Freeman, who pulled the ball down with one hand before barreling into the end zone.

Mariota added a 77-yard scoring strike to Marshall t o make it 23-0 before r unning for 23 yards to

T he Beavers scored o n a 39-yard field goal just before the end of the first half to make it 30-3.

Wogan added a 22-yarder for the Ducks early in the third.

Storm Woods, who had been questionable going i nto the game, ran for a 3 -yard touchdown for t he Beavers that cut the Ducks’ lead to 40-17.

M ariota found Nelson again with a 27-yard t ouchdown pass before Oregon State got a safety with 4:03 left for the final margin.

Woods finished with 128 yards rushing.

Somber Beavers coach Mike Riley said there was just one word to describe the season: Disappointing. “ Right now we’re not a good enough offensive team to win a lot of games in our league,” he said.

O regon was without center Hroniss Grasu for the second straight game because of a knee injury, r unning back Thomas T yner, who was seen w earing a boot on his right ankle this week, and r eceiver Keanon Lowe, who had an undisclosed injury.

Earlier this month, Oregon State played spoiler for Arizona State, beati ng the then-No.7 Sun Devils 35-27 at Reser Stadium and wounding their chances to take the Pac12 South. But after falling behind early, they couldn’t catch up to play spoiler for the Ducks, too.

fourth state championship and first since 1978. Prince credited the Gladiators penchant for misdirection and the Smiths’ elusiveness as really testing North Bend’s discipline.

“Gladstone had a very impressive backfield that would test the soundness of most defenses,” Prince said, adding, “We had trouble keeping our eyes out of the backfield and trusting our reads.”

North Bend’s running back Luke Lucero was injured in the first half — the exact injury Prince declined to say — and did not have a carry in the second half.

The loss of Lucero gave a chance for Trey Woods to step up. He finished with 10 carries for 36 yards and scored North Bend’s first touchdown on a 5-yard option run in the first quarter.

Lucero’s spot at defensive back was filled in

by Marshall Rice, which didn’t seem to slow down the Bulldogs defensive unit at all.

North Bend’s secondary, which had intercepted an average of one out of every 10 passes coming into the game (23 picks in 231 attempts), improved on that gaudy number. Cam Lucero and Drew Matthews each intercepted a ball in the first half, the latter a brilliant, toetapping pick in the back of the end zone to end a

Nebraska fires Pelini The Associated Press ‌LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The number of wins and losses didn’t get Bo Pelini fired. It was the way some of those losses happened.

Pelini was dismissed as Nebraska’s coach Sunday a fter a seven-year stint marked by an inability to restore the football team to national prominence and t oo many embarrassing defeats.

P elini extended his streak of winning at least n ine games every season with a 37-34 overtime win at Iowa on Friday, but h e never won a confere nce championship and his teams lost four games in every season he completed. Pelini was 66-27 and led the Cornhuskers to three league championship games in the Big 12 and Big Ten. “ I didn’t see enough i mprovement in areas t hat were important for us to move forward to play c hampionship-caliber football,” athletic director Shawn Eichorst said at a news conference. “ We just, for whatever reason, weren’t good enough in the games that m attered against champ ionship-caliber opponents. And I didn’t see that changing. It wasn’t a lack of effort by him or his staff or our wonderful players, but I think new leadership was in order.”

A ssociate head coach Barney Cotton, a Nebraska alum, will be the interim head coach for the Cornhuskers’ bowl game.

Pelini was under cont ract through February 2019. Eichorst said the university will owe him a settlement of about $7.9 million, which can be reduced once he lands another job.

Asked for comment on S unday’s developments, Pelini wrote in a text to The Associated Press: “I’m good. Thanks for asking!”

Eichorst said he alone would conduct the search for a new coach. He gave no timetable for naming a replacement.

Nebraska joins Florida a s a high-profile prog ram with a coaching vacancy, and others could arise soon. Eichorst said he wasn’t worried about c ompeting with other schools.

“Resources are not the question here at Nebraska,” h e said. “That doesn’t mean we’re not going to

Gladstone scoring threat.

With the Gladiators struggling to throw the ball, they decided to run.

Exclusively. Gladstone did not attempt a pass in the second half and threw six times in the entire game.

“They pushed us around and were way more physical and we didn’t move the ball the way we usually do,” Lucero said.

No North Bend player or coach will blame the weather, but the temperature at Hillsboro Stadium was noticeably a factor. At kickoff, every player could see their breath come out of their facemask after every exhale.

At halftime, the adjoining baseball diamond’s t h e r m o m e te r rea d 3 2 degrees.

North Bend’s dynamic passing offense that dominated all year behind quarterback Cam Lucero struggled to find a rhythm.

Lucero finished 17-for-31 passing for 205 yards, significantly lower than the 70-percent completion rate and 308 yards he averaged the first three games of the postseason.

H is only touchdown pass Saturday was a 4-yard toss to Levi Rider in the third quarter that momentarily put North Bend up 17-14. With the passing game operating belowaverage, Lucero finished as North Bend’s leading rusher with 89 yards on 13 carries.

“We can’t blame the game on the weather,” Lucero said. “You get hit and it hurts a little more in the freezing cold. It wasn’t a huge factor but it turned little things into big things.”

be responsible and good stewards of our resources.

I’ve seen people spend a lot of money and not do very m uch winning, so we’re going to get it right.”

Cougars fire coordinator‌ P ULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State has fired defensive coordinator Mike Breske and outside linebackers coach Paul Volero after the Cougars finished 3-9 with a loss to Washington in the Apple Cup. T he school confirmed both coaches had been let go by coach Mike Leach on Sunday night. Fox Sports first reported the firings.

T he Cougars finished 1 0th in the Pac-12 in scoring defense and were particularly vulnerable in the secondary. Washington State was 11th in pass defense and often couldn’t get the stops to help the offense. The Cougars had only one interception after Sept. 13. It was a significant step back after the d efense was a strength d uring Leach’s second season.

Both Breske and Volero had been with Leach since h e came to Washington State before the 2012 season. Volero joined Washington State after coaching in high school in Florida. Before that he was an assistant at Central Michigan.

Auburn fires assistant‌ A UBURN, Ala. — A uburn fired defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson a day after giving up 55 points to rival Alabama.

Tigers coach Gus Malzahn announced the firing Sunday following a lates eason slide that ended with a 55-44 loss in the Iron Bowl.

The 20th-ranked Tigers gave up 539 yards to the top-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday night in the h ighest-scoring Iron B owl. They allowed an average of 483 yards and 39 points over their last six SEC games, losing four of them.

“At this time I felt it was best for our program t o make a change with our defensive coordinator,” Malzahn said. “Ellis is a true professional and I would like to thank him for his contributions at Auburn.”

North Bend came in as Class 4A’s highest scoring offense, averaging 49.3 points per game.

The 17 points was a far cry from the 51.3 North Bend was averaging this postseason.

Matthews, Lucero’s No. 1 option at receiver, caught seven balls for 108 yards but never found the end zone and was neutralized after two big hits by Gladstone in the second half.

For Matthews, Rider, Rice, Cam Lucero, Jared Hampel, Rhett Strode, Tanner Henderson, Willie Mahr, Aaron Wagner, Marc McBride, Zach Harrington, Garrett McCoy, Brandon Graham and Anthony McDonald, Saturday’s loss represented the end of their careers as Bulldogs.

Since Prince took over, the motto for those 14 seniors and the entire North Bend program has been that “those who stay, will be champions.”

They’ll take the consolation.

“We have to enjoy what we did well. We can’t just look at the bad things.

Look at all the positives we have — breaking records, go i n g 1 1- 0, h os t i n g a quarterfinal game. We have so many positives for the younger guys coming up,“ Lucero said. “Getting a win would’ve meant a lot, but going through it with all the guys we had, I wouldn’t change it for the world.” ​ eporter George Artsitas R can be reached at 541269-1222, ext. 236, or by email at george.artsitas@ theworldlink.com.

BRIDGE Watching less-experienced players can be instructive. There is much to discuss in the auction of this deal.

With which calls do you agree, and what would you have done differently?

In this auction, three spades was a splinter bid showing four-card diamond support, a strong hand and a singleton (or void) in spades.

When North opened one club, East should have overcalled two clubs, a Michaels Cue-Bid showing at least 5-5 in the majors. Yes, he had only six

points, but he had 6-5 distribution, he owned the majors and the vulnerability was favorable.

West’s takeout double was highly debatable opposite a partner who could not act over one club.

North’s three-spade rebid described his hand well.

Then East should have been bidding the majors into the stratosphere — double fits are more delicious than doughnuts.

Finally, South should not have bid four clubs; instead, he should have control-bid (cue-bid) four hearts to show some slam interest or, if less optimistic, jumped to five diamonds.

What did declarer do after winning the first trick with his heart ace and drawing trumps, learning that East started with only one?

Obviously, five — and six!

— diamonds depended totally on South’s decision in the club suit. Given East’s silence in the bidding, it looked as if declarer would never place him with two minor-suit singletons. But at the table, South played a club to the jack on the first round of the suit and took all 13 tricks!
