NB Downtown Association president steps down KURTIS HAIR The World

NORTH BEND — After 18 years, a North Bend woman is stepping down as president of an organization that has helped better the downtown area of the city. Johanna Dillard, president of the North Bend Downtown Association, said she is reluctant to leave the position that has kept her busy for so many years, though it is the right decision.

“It’s really hard because I’ve just done it so long,” Dillard said. “As I kind of train and turn things over, it’s kind of a control issue, but yet, I’m kind of excited because there are other things I want to do.” Dillard moved to North Bend in the early 1980s with her husband, Bob, who is also the public works director for the city. In 1995 she started her own company, Coastal Paper and Supply Inc.

Dillard said shortly after starting her business she became involved with the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, and she noticed a part of North Bend that was in dire straits. “I looked at downtown North Bend and went, ‘We’ve gotta do something,’” Dillard said. “Absentee landlords. It doesn’t look good. It’s a very industrialized town, but it needs help.”

COOS BAY — “It’s A Wonderful Life” offers a wonderful opportunity to make the season of giving an interactive experience. The Dolphin Playhouse, at 580 Newmark Ave. in the Empire District of Coos Bay, is opening a new performance this weekend. On Saturday, they are offering free admission to anyone bringing a new, unwrapped toy for Christmas. Steve Wilson, who is directing the “Wonderful Life” oldtime radio show, says the Dolphin Playhouse is a community theater that wants to give back to its community. So, they have been declared a Toys For Tots drop-off site on Saturday. “The play is about giving,

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — Veterans who survived the Pearl Harbor attack that launched the United States into World War II attended Sunday’s 73rd anniversary ceremony with the help of canes, wheelchairs and motorized scooters. Wearing purple orchid lei, about 100 Pearl Harbor and World War II survivors attended the ceremony overlooking a memorial that sits atop sunken battleship USS Arizona. Many of them arrived well before the sun came up. This year’s anniversary of the Japanese attack is the 10th consecutive one that USS Utah survivor Gilbert Meyer attended.

“It’s A Wonderful Life” takes on an old-time radio feel at the Dolphin Playhouse. Actors Bobbi Wilson, Bill Boger, Julianna Seldon, Bill McGuire, Luanne May, Nick Zamora, George Nixon, Barbara Booth-Nixon and Jim Thornton (not pictured) perform the holiday family favorite on weekends through Dec. 21.

Megan Crawford, 12, of Coos Bay, works on her Kon-Tiki catamaran wooden boat at the Coos Bay Boat Building Center on Satuday morning. The center offered a “Santa’s workshop,” where participants could create a wooden boat using resources at the center to either keep, give away as a gift, or donate to Bus Jam.

DEATHS

COOS BAY — After watching the city continue to plant trees in the same manner for years, a local business owner is fed up with Coos Bay’s tree planning designs. During the public comment section of Tuesday’s city council meeting, Wim de Vriend, owner of the Blue Heron Bistro, voiced concerns about the city’s designs, after seeing problems he encountered years ago reappear. Seven years ago, the maple tree in front of the Blue Heron Bistro raised and damaged the sidewalk, influencing de Vriend enough to pay $750 to replace the maple with three smaller Japanese Snowbell trees. “I had to move heaven and earth and pay through the nose to get three smaller trees,” de Vriend said. While there is an approved tree list, which happens to include the same species of tree de Vriend paid for to replace the maple, the city continues to plant larger trees like the maple, despite having to continue to dig out and replant the trees years later, de Vriend said. “It’s the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” de Vriend said. “It has to cost a fair amount of money not to just cut them down, but dig them out and then they plant the same stupid tree back in there.” With a great deal of focus being placed on urban renewal and street infrastructure, de Vriend said the problem has been overlooked, despite being something that would be inexpensive to fix and would contribute to the city’s goal of removing blight. “I’ve seen this foolishness go on for about 40 years,” de Vriend said. “The sidewalks are only about 8 feet, so it’s totally out of proportion, it’s ugly and when you start looking at them, they’re starting to break up the concrete.” Councilor Mike Vaughan, who is also a member of the city’s tree board, agreed with de Vriend’s assessment of the city’s tree planning.

reservations, which is the most desired result. During the presentation of the audit, certified public accountant Tara Kamp lauded the city’s finance department, singling out finance director Susanne Baker for her work. “The city of Coos Bay has an outstanding finance department,” Kamp said. “It’s one of the cleanest audits we’ve done.” The issuance of an unqualified opinion is important because it affects the city’s credit worthiness and bond rating, which could affect future needs for financing. In addition to auditing the city of Coos Bay, an inspection of the Urban Renewal Agency’s finances yielded the same results. Pauly, Rogers and Co. issued an unqualified opinion regarding the fair presentation of the agency’s financial statements. The accounting firm said there were no difficulties in performing and completing either of the audits, nor were there any material misstatements. Both audits were for the period ending June 30, 2014. eporter Devan Patel can be R reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 249, or by email at devan.patel@theworldlink. com.

Opinion

theworldlink.com/news/opinion

History comes in all sizes ‌T he most contentious historical question in the country is not a dispute over whether the United States is at heart a revolutionary or conservative force in world affairs, nor a conflict over how deep was Abraham Lincoln’s devotion to the antislavery cause, nor even a battle over the origins of the Cold War. The most contentious historical David M. question in the United SHRIBMAN States is over what history is — or, more Columnist precisely, how long history is. I n one camp are scholars who may disagree over whether history’s engine is economic or political — or over whether the Mexican War and the Spanish-American War are proof that the United States has deep imperialist roots — but who basically agree that the study of history should concentrate on what has happened in the past 2,000 years or so. In another camp is a growing group of scholars and educational activists who believe history should be taught on a 14 billion-year scale. So, into an academic realm where big business and big data have been recent preoccupations enters another big area of controversy: Big History. Big History is the notion that academics err when they concentrate on the Thirty Years’ War, or the French Revolution, or American progressivism, without putting them into a context that includes the Big Bang, the Pleistocene Era and the appearance of millet and yams in Sub-Saharan Africa. T he teaching of history in this fashion was the lonely crusade of an obscure academic until Bill Gates listened to a series of recorded lectures and decided that his next cause was to promote Big History and to try to p ersuade school boards across the country to adopt it. The intrusion of a non-academic with a big fortune and not a big academic pedigree into the decidedly not big world of history caused the predictable big outcry. History as viewed by David Christian, who teaches history at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and holds a Ph.D. in Russian History from Oxford, is history on an entirely different scale. Its virtue — and I listened to 12 of Christian’s lectures before coming to this conclusion — is that it puts history into perspective. It leads you to conclude that the co-evolution of humans and domesticated animals, including livestock — the humans changing culturally, the animals changing genetically — is a more important passage in human history than Watergate. s pretty peripheral in that context. At the center of this view of history is Christian’s contention that historians concentrate on a mere 5 percent of history because they examine the record of only written material and documents — and because they (wrongly) believe that not much happened in that first 95 percent: no novels, no symphonies, no documents hidden in pumpkin patches on Maryland farms or retrieved by Freedom of Information Act requests. Christian disagrees. “A lot indeed did happen in the Paleolithic era,” he argues in one of his lectures. “This was not a period of stagnation. Our astonishing creativity is already evident in this era.” In an email exchange, Christian asserted that most societies taught something like Big History in the past, calling it origin stories. “The weird thing is that modern secular education stopped teaching such stories about a century ago, yet one lurks within modern science waiting to be told,” he said. That’s not how many universitybased historians see it. “Academic historians know that all things are important to history,” argued Amy Dru Stanley, an American historian at the University of Chicago. “But what concerns me is that this is a cultural approach to science more than a new approach to history — and it threatens to displace established methods of historical scholarship.” E ven so, Big History is making inroads among academics. The next A merican Historical Association meeting will include a session exploring Big History, and Patrick Manning, a University of Pittsburgh historian and president-elect of the historical association, is working on a similar approach to world history for students in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Conventional history is worthwhile. Earth history is worthwhile. A combination of each is worthwhile, though there also is virtue in the argument that American students should most of all know the contours of American history and be exposed to the mainstreams of the American experience.

Letters to the Editor Dems should rein in Obama

‌P resident Obama recently took executive action to address the perceived problem of immigration reform. I have no doubt that some action is needed in this matter, because the result of ignoring our immigration laws has caused a situation

that is unacceptable. Predictably, the Republicans took great exception to President Obama’s action, declaring it illegal. Maybe it is. I think, however, that the Republicans are on the wrong track. In my opinion, the Republicans should ignore the situation and let the Democrats rein in this president, disavow his actions, and restore the balance of powers between

the legislative and executive branches. Why on earth would the Democrats do this? Because, quite simply, it is in their best interest. All they have to do is ask themselves one question. “Do you want to hand over this extension of the imperial power of the executive branch to the next Republican president?” Ted Hunt North Bend

Paul’s widespread presidential campaign ‌Bringing blacks, Jews and the Constitution back into the Republican Party, Rand Paul i s intently looking ahead to the 2016 presidential election, reports Mike Allen in Politico: “Coming off a midterm campaign blitz in 35 states ... Paul, who has set the ambitious goal of raising the Republican share of the African-American vote from 6 percent in 2012 to 33 percent in 2016, met with African-American groups in Ferguson, Mo. (still seething with protests); spoke to the National Urban League convention in July; and regularly meets with small groups of African-Americans to talk up his plans for school choice and justice reform” (“Rand’s grand plan,” Mike Allen, politico.com, Nov. 9). Paul tells Politico: “Until the Republican Party becomes more diverse, we are going to struggle.” Moreover, Allen writes, “As Paul traveled the country this year, he also held private sitdowns with rabbis and Jewish leaders in various cities.” Paul explains, “I think we’ve spent a lot of time in the Jewish community, letting them know that our position is that we are very conscious of and supportive of our special alliance with Israel.” This is in dynamic contrast, of course, with Barack Obama’s frigid relationship with Israel, particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And dig this assessment from Scott Read, who directed Bob Dole’s presidential campaign in 1996 and is currently the senior

political strategist for the U.S. C hamber of Commerce: “In any twow eek period o f the last six m onths,” he t ells Allen, “Rand Paul did Paul m o re s m a r t HENTOFF things to grow Columnist the party than e veryone else combined. Going to Berkeley and barrios and ghettos — he’s not afraid to go where no one else wants to go.” Having gotten to know the senator personally somewhat, I ’m not as surprised by that amid the silence of many political commentators. But I never thought he was as skillful an organizer of political campaigns as Allen details in Politico: “He’s already built what top GOP operatives consider by far the most extensive operation of any of the party’s presidential hopefuls. “He has his own advance staff housed at RAND PAC, his political action committee, which over the past five years has raised $13.6 million and spent $10.7 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And he is planning to open a Silicon Valley office to add ties and presumably fundraising heft among the libertarian-minded tech crowd.” Worth noting in the Politi co report is that “Paul was endorsed for president (earlier this month) by incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — a striking turnabout just

a few years after McConnell favored Paul’s opponent in Kentucky’s 2010 Republican senatorial primary.” What especially impressed m e was his 13-hour filibuster last year against President O bama’s nomination of current CIA director John Brennan (long active in the agency’s unAmerican activities). Paul very approvingly cited the Ninth and 10th Amendments to the Constitution near the start of his soliloquy. H ow many Americans are familiar with — or even know — those two guarantees of power to individual states and, thereby, to We The People? F urthermore, how many members of Congress could pass a pop quiz on those Amendments? The Ninth Amendment: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The 10th Amendment: “The p owers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Namely us. Of all the presumed candidates so far for the 2016 presidential election, I think Rand P aul is the most intimately knowledgeable of the Constitution, as he has demonstrated in his public speeches and writings through the years. But what I have not seen in his presidential campaign so far is an emphasis on something

that could gain him considerable ground among Americans of all parties and help significantly restore the Constitution: mandating a course on the history of our Founding Document. Most public schools, after all, do not have mandatory courses on the history of the Constitution. I strongly suggested this to the senator in a conversation weeks ago. Most public schools do not teach kids about what it has taken to preserve the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendments from the imperious actions of such presidents as George W. Bush (with Dick Cheney) and Barack Obama. For years I gave talks at public schools and colleges throughout the land, before arthritis limited my travels, demonstrating how patriotic protesters rescued the essence of our Constitution, which provides our basic identity among nations. Again and again, students of all backgrounds responded to this unexpected and welcome n ews with excitement and a c lear desire to keep learning more about who we are. I again urge Rand Paul to demand all schools include the tumultuous history of what it takes to keep the Constitution fully alive and functioning. Go to it, Rand, and bring back America!

Obituaries and State Trying to cope with loss of hearing ‌D E A R A B BY: My husband, “Norm,” has become profoundly deaf. He has a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other; neither has helped much. He has extreme difficulty with speech recognition. We can talk together in the quiet of our home Dear as long as bby I sit right next to him and speak slowly. We u s e assistedlistening devices to Jeanne communicate with Phillips each other in the car or at a restaurant. Norm’s hearing loss has affected us as a couple. We no longer have a social life. When Norm and I are out together, we become “invisible” to other couples. It’s just too much work for anyone to communicate with us. We are about to move to a retirement community where one meal a day is included in the dining room. I’m worried about how we will navigate the social aspects of eating with others, who will rapidly decide they don’t want to eat with us again because of the difficulty of trying to chat with Norm. Norm is well aware of this problem. He has proposed that he eat alone in our apartment while I go to the dining room and meet people, unencumbered by his impairment. Can you advise? — TRAPPED IN A SITUATION DEAR TRAPPED: Before moving into the retirement community, make a point of discussing your husband’s severe h ea r i n g i m p a i r m e n t with the director, the nurse and/or their medical adviser because they need to be made aware of your husband’s special needs in order to be able to accommodate him, if it’s possible. According to the House Clinic in Los Angeles (www.houseearclinic. com), he will probably be advised to check in with his otologist (a doctor who specializes in the anatomy and physiology of the ear) to see if anything further can be done to improve his hearing. I hope you will follow through with that suggestion, because advances are being made in this field every year, and it may help your husband be less isolated.

Multnomah recount makes little change in GMO race

The Associated Press‌

Dr. Rex “Matt” Quaempts, who grew up on Oregon’s Umatilla Indian Reservation, poses in front of the Yellowhawk Community Health Center in Mission.

Tribal doctor returns to boyhood home to practice KATHY ANEY East Oregonian‌

‌M ISSION (AP) — Rex “Matt” Quaempts holds close memories of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. He grew up here, hunting pheasants in the fields, swimming in the river, sitting in the sweat lodge with his father and playing catcher on his Babe Ruth baseball team. The physician always planned to return to his boyhood home to practice, it just took a little longer than he intended. A few weeks ago, Quaempts f i n a l ly s ta r te d se e i n g patients at the Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center in Mission. He is an accomplished physician — the Association of American Indian Physicians just named him as 2014 Physician of the Year — but Quaempts almost didn’t become a doctor at all. He earned a botany degree at Oregon State University and a master’s at the University of Arizona with plans of becoming a plant pathologist. The Pendleton High School graduate did a sudden U-turn at 24 after getting some grim news from the reservation. “I got a phone call from home that a kid I grew up with had committed suicide,” he said. “That’s what got the ball rolling.” It wasn’t the first time,

and that bothered him. It drew him into medicine. Earlier this week, the 52-year-old family doctor sat back in his chair and looked pensive as he took a break from the steady stream of patients at Yellowhawk. He played with the bead-encased tubing of a stethoscope slung casually around his neck as he thought about friends he lost. “Some of them just started taking their lives,” he said. According to the Centers for Disease Control, suicide rates are higher in Indian Country than for any other population group in the United States. The suicide rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives from ages 15 to 34 is 2.5 times higher than the national average for that age group. Quaempts started applying to medical schools. After earning his medical degree at the University of Washington and completing his residency, Quaempts had another choice to make. He could return to the Umatilla Reservation or serve the Yakama Nation where he is a registered member. The Yakama tribe had given him money for medical school. “They invested in me,” he said. He figured he would practice there for a while and then head home. “One year went by and

then another and another and another,” Quaempts said. “Nineteen years went by.” Finally, he made the switch. Yellowhawk CEO T im Gilbert described Quaempts as a seasoned and award-winning doctor who has been on the radar for some time. “Dr. Quaempts is credentialed and experienced and brings personal insight and understanding of the culture and the reservation that would take outside providers many years to acquire,” Gilbert said. Quaempts describes himself as an old-school doctor who often cared for elders in their homes in the Yakima area and who occasionally gives out his cell number. He generally obliges when patients ask medical advice when they bump into him out in public. “I’ve been told I have no boundaries,” he said with a laugh. Quaempts himself has the healthy glow of a former Ironman who still bikes, runs, fishes and hunts. As a family doctor, he tackles an array of health issues. Indian Country’s high suicide rate continues to disturb him and might in part explain why he tries to get to know his patients so well. Periodic deaths sadden him, such as a Yakama preteen who recently killed herself.

‌P ORTLAND (AP) — Oregon’s largest county has posted the results of its Measure 92 recount, adding a few votes to require the labeling of genetically engineered food. The Oregonian reports that Multnomah County tallied 25 more “yes” votes than it did the first time around, and had no change in “no” votes. But that makes only a small dent in the 812-vote deficit found in the first statewide count. Overall, 22 of Oregon’s 36 counties have finished their recounts, with an overall net shift of just two votes. Recounts have turned up 48 more votes in favor of the measure and 50 more against. No other county favored GMO labeling more than Multnomah, so it seems unlikely that the recount will result in a different outcome from last month’s election.

D I G E S T No state funds set for Bend campus

‌BEND (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber’s proposed budget does not include longterm funding for Oregon State University’s branch campus in Bend. Oregon State requested $30 million for the campus that’s expanding next year to a four-year institution, but only ranked it fourth on a list of priorities submitted to the governor and Legislature. Kitzhaber’s proposal includes money for the top two projects — $30 million for a forest science complex and $25 million for an expansion of the Marine Studies Center. OSU-Cascades already has funding to expand to a four-year school. The request for money from the 2015 Legislature would be used to construct buildings in the future.

Obituary William “Grant” Cummings

Sept. 8, 1921—Nov. 30, 2014‌

A MAN WHO LED A RICH AND COLORFUL LIFE William Grant Cummings, 93, passed away with family by his side Nov. 30, 2014, in Coos Bay. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, 2015, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 1290 Thompson Road in Coos Bay with Pastor Jon Strasman presiding. A reception will follow in the church fellowship hall. Private cremation rites were held at Ocean View Memory Gardens. He was born to Reeves C. and Lillian T. (Rodeck) C u m m i n gs i n M a r i o n County, Oregon Sept. 8, 1921. During his childhood in the 1920’s, he first lived with his parents who worked in the Willamette Valley hop yards, and then with his paternal grandparents as they oversaw 75 employees contracted to install telephone lines for Ma Bell Telephone along the length of the Oregon coast, from Astoria to the California border. From those days his recollections include attending nine schools in one year and never knowing the teachers’ names. The family later settled in Rogue River, where he received most of his junior and senior high school education.

William Cummings Later, in the 1930’s, he and his uncle trapped muskrats in Klamath Falls for the U.S. Air Force and Grant worked various jobs including the construction of Camp White. The 1940s brought the escalation of World War II, resulting in his deployment to Europe. He served in the U.S. Army with the 817th Tank Destroyer Battalion, under General George Patton. His WWII campaigns included D-Day on the Normandy beaches and The Battle of The Bulge in the Ardennes, the Rhineland, and Central

Europe. With humility and rarely discussed, he received four medals during this period. Following the war, he returned to Oregon and trained to become a house painter and roofer. He also worked as a lineman for California Oregon Power Company (COPCO), and ultimately for many years, on heavy construction for Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in the Bay Area. Grant and his wife, Heide were married in Rogue River, and later relocated to the southern Oregon coast 54 years ago, in 1960. After his retirement from Weyerhaeuser and his wife’s retirement from teaching at North Bend High School, the couple manned an Oregon State Forestry fire lookout for six summers in the Applegate region of southern Oregon. They later operated Cummings Cuttings nursery in Coos Bay for 15 years. Grant was active for decades in the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)

Post 3182 and American Legion Post 34. He enjoyed his membership in the Sunset Classic Chevy car club and driving his 1957 Bel Air Hardtop. Grant and Heide are longtime, active members of the congregation at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church of Coos Bay. An Oregon boy at heart, he was passionate about the outdoors, and loved fishing and hunting with family and friends throughout his entire life. He traveled in the U.S., Canada and Europe, and especially enjoyed visiting family. In his spare time he enjoyed woodworking and gardening. Mr. Cummings was preceded in death by his parents, his son, Kenneth; his daughter, Evelyn; and his sister, Elvera. He is survived by his wife, Heide; son, John and daughter-in-law, Mary

‘Magic’ makes cleaning fun ‌Is it just me or do you, too, love to discover something inexpensive that does the exact same thing as its pricey name-brand cousin? It’s not just the money-saving difference that pushes my buttons, it’s the “knowing” part. I’m not saying it makes me feel smarter or even Everyday s m u g . . . . Cheapskate On second thought, maybe that’s exactly what I’m saying. Ha! Magic erasers. H ave yo u ever wonMary dered what’s Hunt the “magic” in Mr. Clean Magic Erasers? They are quite amazing, but expensive. Generally, the Mr. Clean brand erasers run $.87 to $3.50 each depending on where you find them and if you go for the original or magic erasers with fragrance. Generic versions of magic erasers are made of identical material for a fraction of the price. I have seen them as low as $.10 each when purchased in a pack of 200. Here’s the secret behind that “magic.” These erasers are small cuts of melamine foam, which comes in big THE FAMILY CIRCUS sheets and is used for insulating and soundproofing. Seriously, it’s true. Mr. Clean must have a big saw in his basement where he cuts this foam up into spongesize pieces. So does that generic company that sells the identical same product for just pennies. Interested readers who want a 4- x 8-foot sheet of melamine insulating foam should Google “melamine foam.” Me? I’m thrilled with the erasers that cost a dime each. A box of 200 lasts a long time, although I have to admit to using them quite freely and for just about every household cleaning opportunity I can think of. Magic makes cleaning fun. Washing soda. It’s a wonderful product made popular by the Arm & Hammer Company, which markets it as “Super Washing Soda.” Not the same as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate is edible and used in baking), washing soda (sodium carbonate absolutely not edible) has many uses. Arm & Hammer has made sodium carbonate a popular laundry and household cleaning product because its properties change the chemical properties of water, making it “softer.” Sodium carbonate is white, odorless and strongly alkaline. Super Washing Soda, an ingredient in my favorite homemade laundry detergent, is available in retail supermarkets and also online. Prices vary; however, expect to pay $.20 per ounce for Super Washing soda. Or you can skip the fancy name and go for a bag of sodium carbonate at a pool supply store. Or in the pool supply aisle at Wal-Mart or Target. Look for its other common name, “soda ash.” Or you can find it also sold as “dye fixer.” Provided you see that the ingredient is sodium carbonate, (identical to what’s inside a box of Super Washing Soda), MODERATELY CONFUSED you’ve got the right product. The only difference? The price. I have never paid more than $.08 an ounce for soda ash from a local pool supply store — less than half the price of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda.

Second night of Berkeley protest turns violent again

D I G E S T Official: US unaware of Korkie negotiation JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The United States did not know about talks on the reportedly imminent release of a South African hostage who died in a U.S. raid on al-Qaida militants in Yemen, the U.S. ambassador in South Africa said Monday. Ambassador Patrick Gaspard said American officials were “unaware of ongoing negotiations that had any resolution” between the militants and Gift of the Givers, a South African humanitarian relief group that had been acting on behalf of the family of South African hostage Pierre Korkie. Gaspard also said it was “not altogether clear” to him that the South African government was even aware of the talks. Korkie and American hostage Luke Somers were killed Saturday during a U.S.-led rescue attempt. Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of Gift of the Givers, has said that Korkie was supposed to be released Sunday under a deal struck with al-Qaida. Gaspard said the U.S. hadn’t been informed about that. The U.S. decided to carry out the raid because the militants had threatened to kill Somers, Gaspard said. “We were just completely unaware of those developments and had to act hastily,” the ambassador said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

US, NATO ceremonially end Afghan combat mission KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. and NATO ceremonially ended their combat mission in Afghanistan on Monday, 13 years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks sparked their invasion of the country to topple the Taliban-led government. NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Joint Command, which was in charge of combat operations, lowered its flag, formally ending its deployment. U.S. Gen. John F. Campbell, commander of NATO and U.S. forces, said that the mission now would transition to a training and support role for Afghanistan’s own security forces, which have led the fight against the Taliban insurgents since mid-2013. “The Afghan security forces are capable,” Campbell said. “They have to make some changes in the leadership which they’re doing, and they have to hold people accountable.” From Jan. 1, the coalition will maintain a force of 13,000 troops in Afghanistan, down from a peak around 140,000 in 2011. There are around 15,000 troops now in the country.

Royal visit begins: Prince William to meet Obama N EW YO R K ( A P) — While Britain’s Prince William meets with President Barack Obama at the Oval Office on Monday and discusses illegal wildlife trafficking at the World Bank, his wife, Kate, will tour a child development center with New York City’s first lady, Chirlane McCray. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in New York City on Sunday, the royal couple’s first official visit to the U.S. and their first taste of the Big Apple. During their threeday trip, they’ll be staying at the Carlyle Hotel, a favorite of William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, when she frequently visited Manhattan in the 1990s. William and Kate, who are expecting their second child in April, have scheduled a full slate of events in New York, including a visit to the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum and a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Los Angeles County firefighters battle a fire at an apartment building under construction next to the Harbor CA-110 Freeway in Los Angeles, early Monday.

Crews battle 2 large fires in Los Angeles ‌LOS ANGELES (AP) — Crews battled two large fires in Los Angeles early Monday, including a massive one downtown that closed portions of two major freeways and blanketed the area in ash and heavy smoke. More than 250 firefighters fought the downtown blaze that was sparked at a construction site around 1:20 a.m., Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Ralph Terrazas said. Flames consumed the 7-story woodframed structure and damaged three floors of an

adjacent high-rise before being brought under control within 90 minutes. Portions of U.S. Route 101 and Interstate 110 were shut down for a time over fears that debris might fall into lanes. No injuries were reported. The burned structure was planned to be a tall residential building. Shortly after 4 a.m. another fire was reported at a mixed-use building about 2 miles to the west. More than 100 firefighters from multiple

agencies responded and had the flames under control in less than two hours, according to Chief Deputy Mario D. Rueda. One person in a nearby apartment building was treated for minor smoke inhalation, he said. Around 10 businesses were housed in the twostory building in the Westlake district and portions of it were being renovated for residential use. There were no indications the two incidents were connected, Terrazas said.

‌BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Raucous demonstrations hit Berkeley’s streets for a second straight night as protesters angered by police killings in Missouri and New York clashed with officers, vandalized businesses and even fought with each other, officials said. Sunday’s protest began peacefully on the University of California, Berkeley, campus but eventually grew rowdy and spilled into Oakland. Activists made their way onto a freeway and blocked traffic. The California Highway Patrol said officers fired tear gas after protesters targeted them with rocks and bottles and tried to light a patrol vehicle on fire. Police also said explosives were thrown at officers, but there was no information immediately available on how potent they were. Officers chased protesters off the roadway. The demonstrations were the latest of several in the Bay Area — including in Oakland where activism is strong — to protest recent grand jury decisions in Missouri and New York not to indict while police officers in the deaths of two black men.

As hundreds of protesters began marching through downtown Berkeley, the unrest that marked protests Saturday night was touched off again as someone smashed the window of a Radio Shack. When a protester tried to stop growing vandalism, he was hit with a hammer, Officer Jennifer Coats said. Police said groups of protesters late Sunday began roaming through t h e d ow n tow n a re a , throwing trash cans into streets and lighting garbage on fire, smashing windows on buildings, and damaging and looting businesses. There also were reports of vandalism at City Hall. Te l e v i s i o n fo o ta ge showed protesters smashing door windows and breaking into buildings and setting rubbish piles ablaze. Coats said police made five arrests in connection with the demonstrations. She said two officers sustained minor injuries Sunday night. Coats said in a statement that there was “significant damage” to several Berkeley businesses and that many had windows smashed and several stores were looted.

Criminal probe after gas evacuates ‘furries’ event ‌ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Investigators were looking into the release of a gas that sickened several hotel guests and forced thousands of people — many dressed as cartoon animals for a convention — to temporarily leave the building. Although some

participants at the Midwest FurFest convention thought the mass evacuation was just part of the fun, investigators were treating it as a criminal matter. Nineteen people who became nauseous or dizzy were treated at

local hospitals, and at least 18 were released shortly thereafter. Within hours, emergency workers decontaminated the Hyatt Regency O’Hare and allowed people back inside. The Rosemont Public Safety Department said someone apparently

intentionally left chlorine powder in a ninth-floor hotel stairway, causing the gas to spread. While authorities conducted their investigation, organizers tried to assure the participants that the evacuation would not overshadow the FurFest

event, in which attendees celebrate animals that are anthropomorphic — meaning they’ve been given human characteristics — through art, literature and performance. Many of costumed attendees refer to themselves as “furries.”

“Everything Wim said f or the most part is on p oint because we just don’t allow enough room for trees,” Vaughan said. “ The problem is there is a disconnect because the tree board doesn’t design t hose in, and we don’t design those in.” As part of his solution to fix the problem, de Vriend s aid the council should l ook at North Bend and Reedsport, commending b oth the aesthetics and planning of both cities. Pointing to Reedsport, de Vriend said he would like Coos Bay to adopt a plan where business owners have more say and can choose from a list of trees t o put in front of their businesses. T he 1995 Coos Bayapproved tree list includes H edge Maple, Floweri ng Cherry, Flowering Pear, Crabapple Cultivar,

o f the familiar and the unfamiliar. The showcase of an historical live radio b roadcast is just a little bit different than the well-known Frank Capra/ Jimmy Stewart movie. “Although this play, and the movie, was based o n Philip Van Doren S tern’s original short s tory, that he (started w riting) in 1939, it still h as the same meaning. B ut we perform this in the old-time radio style, w ith live sound effects, live commercials, and the actors hold their scripts. This is definitely a period piece too, with the actors in period clothing.” I t is a full entertainment experience for the e ntire family, he said.

With the problem going u nchecked for years, de V riend hoped the city council would step in and p rovide some relief or direction. “ The tree committee has totally failed and that’s w hy I went to the city council,” de Vriend said. C ity Manager Rodger C raddock said the Coos Bay Tree Board is aware of the problem and prior to de Vriend’s comments, had scheduled a work session for January to discuss the matter. “The problem was the roots ran across the surface, causing the upheaval of sidewalks,” Craddock said. O nce the tree board conducts its work session, it will provide direction for the city council. eporter Devan Patel R can be reached at 541269-1222, ext. 249, or by email at devan.patel@ theworldlink.com.

B ut it’s getting harder for Meyer, 91, to travel to Hawaii from San Antonio. Asked if he planned to a ttend next year’s anniversary, he responded with a chuckle, “That’s like asking me if I’ll still be alive.” Harold Johnson, 90, is making it a goal to attend the 75th anniversary, even t hough traveling from Oak Harbor, Wash., isn’t always easy. “I’ve got a little scooter that’s a real life saver,” the USS Oklahoma survivor said. J ohnson had been aboard the Oklahoma for just six months on Dec. 7, 1 941, looking forward to a day off and a “date with a little Hawaiian girl.” He was shining his shoes when the first alarm went off, he recalled. “ Three months later I ran into her in town in Honolulu,” he said of his date. “She was mad at me because I stood her up.” For many of the roughly 2 ,0 0 0 s u r v ivo rs wh o remain, there are also more painful memories.

John Anderson, 97, of Roswell, NM, was ordered off the ship, but he didn’t want to leave behind his twin brother, Delbert. Even though he was forced into

Members go out and mow lawns, paint buildings, clean up trash, set up Christmas lights and many other things to help jolt life into the area. T he association also went to the city to extend the curbs on the streets to slow down traffic. “You don’t think a lot’s happened until you look at the before and after,” Dillard said. “I get comments all the time on how great it looks.” Dillard said she and the m embers of the association were able to use their

voices and set up a façade grant with the city about three years ago. Dillard said if a business needs something done aesthetically to its building, it pays half and the grant takes care of the rest. Randy Rema, owner of R eese Electric, said Dillard has given so much to t he city of North Bend, and she’s done an excellent job as the president of the association. Rema said he’s worked with Dillard for about 10 y ears, and though she’s stepping down, she doesn’t have it in her to completely l eave t h e a sso c i a t i o n behind. “I don’t believe she’s just

Oregon in first College Football Playoff Bandon RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press‌

‌G RAPEVINE, Texas — The first College Football Playoff expanded the national championship race, made the regular season even more intriguing and produced a final four with major star power. Nick Saban’s No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Urban Meyer’s No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes at the Sugar Bowl. Marcus Mariota, this season’s Heisman Trophy front-runner, and second-seeded Oregon vs.

Jameis Winston, last season’s Heisman Trophy winner, and defending national champion Florida State at the Rose Bowl. The winners will meet on Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas, at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. A new era, indeed, but with the same old problems: What is the best way to pick the teams and what should be the criteria? After six weeks of ranking teams, the selection committee shuffled its deck Sunday and dealt the Big 12 out of the playoff. “We’re smarting today,” Big

12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. TCU, which had been third in the rankings last week, ended up sixth. Big 12 co-champion Baylor moved up a spot to No. 5, but both were squeezed out by Ohio State, which won over the committee with a doozy of a closing statement in its conference championship game: a 59-0 victory against Wisconsin for the Big Ten title. “I would say that human nature is that the most recent thing that occurs, in this case the most-recent achievements, are

the most impactful,” Bowlsby said. “Ohio State’s victory over Wisconsin was complete domination, and in that regard they played their way into the position they now enjoy.” The Big 12 doesn’t have one of those anymore. Its teams play only 12 games, compared to 13 for champions of the other Big Five conferences. Bowlsby and his conference athletic directors are meeting in New York this week and he anticipates the topic of how best See Playoff, B4

Mel Counts speaks after receiving a key to the city of Coos Bay at the dedication for the Mel Counts Corridor along 6th Avenue in Eastside.

Counts honored by road JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌COOS BAY — Mel Counts is the most famed basketball player in Marshfield High School history and later became an All-American at Oregon State University, an Olympic gold medalist for the United States and part of two NBA champion teams. He is a member of the Marshfield, Oregon State University and Oregon Sports halls of fame. But he said having a stretch of road in Eastside renamed Mel Counts Corridor is one of the biggest honors of his life. Mel Counts Corridor was dedicated Saturday, when Counts received the key to the city in front of a large group of friends. Simple brown signs with the words “Mel Counts Corridor” recognize the stretch of road, which spans the area from the Isthmus Slough Bridge on the west end of Eastside to the Catching Slough Bridge on the east side, passing right by Counts’ childhood home along the way. “I’m very, very blessed by God to have

this opportunity,” Counts said. “There are many other people deserving of the opportunity. “My success has always been the success of the community, the teachers and coaches I had.” In particular, Counts singled out Frosty Mulkins, his first coach as a student in Eastside and a lifelong friend who died earlier this fall. “He was a tremendous role model and father figure I needed,” Counts said. Counts recalled that when Mulkins recruited him to join the fifth-grade basketball team while he was still in fourth grade “I didn’t know a basketball from a golf ball.” But Counts was tall and kept getting taller, which, combined with a good shooting touch, helped him become a dominant player at nearly every level. Along the way, he always treasured his roots, which made having so many friends present so nice on Saturday. “It’s the support I’ve had in the past,” Counts said of all his Eastside friends. “It’s like a second family.”

The one other person he wished could have been there was Mulkins. A private celebration of life ceremony was held for Mulkins before the corridor dedication Saturday. “Everybody got to talk about him,” said Counts of the beloved former teacher and coach. “He would get right out there and play with us (in basketball). He taught bird watching, star gazing and Boy Scouts.” Mulkins long pushed for Counts to be recognized like another Marshfield great, Steve Prefontaine. And in the past few years, Mulkins passed the torch pushing for recognition for Counts to Bob James, who graduated two years before Counts, in 1958. “I just kept approaching (the city) on it,” said James, who remembered practicing in the Eastside gym with Counts when Mulkins opened it for the kids. Asked if he was happy to see Counts finally recognized, James quickly answered, “You bet.” “Like Mel said, it was for Frosty.”

Blazers extend Knicks’ slide to eight games ‌N EW YORK (AP) — Portland coach Terry Stotts always knows he can dial up LaMarcus Aldridge’s number when the Trail Blazers need someone to settle them down. Aldridge scored 24 points, including six in the final 2:46, and the Trail Blazers regrouped after blowing a 11-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat the New York Knicks 103-99 on Sunday night for their fourth straight victory. “He does that often,” Stotts said. “He’s a stabilizing influence at the offensive end. We have a lot ways we can score, but when things are going a little sideways we usually rely on him.” Carmelo Anthony had 23 points with LeBron James sitting courtside, but the Knicks lost their eighth straight and 12th in their last 13. J.R. Smith scored 20 points off the bench and Amare Stoudemire added 16 for New York, whose 4-18 start is a franchise worst.

“Losing games as close as we are losing them, whether it’s five or six points over the past 13 games, this is new to me. This feeling is new to me,” Anthony said. “This situation is new to me. But, we’re not going to stop and I’m not going to stop. The easy thing to do is to stop right now, hang your heads, and nobody is going to feel sorry for us so we’ve got to keep on going.” T h e T ra i l B l a z e rs came in having won four straight over New York. It seemed they were on their way to an easy victory, leading 92-81 with 7:35 left after Wesley Matthews, who scored 17 points, capped a 9-2 run of his own with his second 3-pointer in that spurt. The Knicks then went on a 16-5 run, taking the lead on Anthony’s basket that gave them a 97-95 advantage with 3:33 remaining, Damian Lillard made a free throw, and after a turnover by Stoudemire and a Knicks

I did my best to either make a shot or try to get to the line,” said Aldridge, who also posted 11 rebounds, his fifth straight doubled o u b l e a ga i n s t New York. The Knicks cut it to 100-99 on Stoudemire’s dunk with 1:27 left. But

just like Aldridge did back on Feb. 5, when he hit a turnaround jumper with 35 seconds to seal the win for the Trail Blazers at Madison Square Garden, the AllStar forward answered right back with a 14-foot jumper and Portland held on to improve to 16-4, tied for the second-best record in the league. “This is history. Reggie Miller and all those guys have had big games here,” Aldridge added.

“It is always fun to come to this building and play good.” With a night off in New York before Cleveland visits Brooklyn on Monday, James was back at Madison Square Garden for the second time in four nights. He helped the Cavaliers beat the Knicks on Thursday. “I knew he was in town, but I didn’t believe that he would come,” Anthony said. “That just goes to show what type of guy he is regardless of what team he’s on. There’s a support system there. I took my hat off to him for coming to support me tonight. At the end of the day he had a couple of days off and he came to support. I don’t think you can say anything bad about that.”

TIP-INS Trail Blazers: The Trail Blazers are now 9-0 against the Eastern Conference. Knicks: New York is 2-9 in games decided by five points or less.

boys win opener THE WORLD ‌B andon’s boys basketball team opened the season with a 60-42 win at Illinois Valley on Saturday. “It was a nice start to the season,” Bandon coach Ken Nice said. “I really liked the ball movement and the way our guys played together.” Tristian Davidson had 21 points to lead the Tigers, who led 33-19 at halftime. Braden Fugate added 13 points and Austin Moore 11 for Bandon, which visits Coquille on Tuesday before opening Sunset Conference play at Myrtle Point on Friday. “Once we settled down, we got into a nice offensive flow,” Nice said. “I liked how hard we played and the way we competed.” Michael Weaver had 12 points and Skylar McLanahan 11 for Illinois Valley. PHILOMATH 38, MARSHFIELD 32: The defending state champion Warriors rallied from a fourpoint deficit in the final two minutes to win at Pirate Palace. “Our execution was really bad,” Marshfield coach Doug Miles said. “We put in a whole new system and we’re struggling right now.” The Pirates played well at times during the game, but struggled with their shooting for the second straight night, following a season-opening win over Newport. “We aren’t shooting the ball well,” Miles said. “We will. “This is the best shooting team I’ve ever had in practice.” Hunter Olson led Marshfield with 11 points, despite being in foul trouble all night. Philomath, which returns three starters from last year’s championship team, got 11 points from Brodie Marchant. “We just didn’t execute,” Miles said. “That’s what good teams do. It will get better.” YONCALLA 67, PACIFIC 36: The Eagles outscored the Pirates 20-4 in the second quarter to build a 31-12 halftime lead and cruised to the win in the championship game of their own tournament. Zach Van Loon had 21 points and Joe Keller added 17 for Yoncalla. Cole Kreutzer led Pacific with 11 points and Ian Hickey and John Keeler added eight each. Keeler was named to the all-tournament team.

GIRLS‌ PHILOMATH 28, MARSHFIELD 14: The Pirates, playing for the second straight night, lost a defensive struggle at home to the Warriors. “I think we played pretty good defensively, especially for a second night,” Marshfield coach Bruce Bryant said. “Our legs were dead. “You could tell that last night’s game, especially this early in the season, really took a toll on us.” The two teams played a physical contest, he said. Marshfield wasn’t able to convert enough of its opportunities inside and shot just 3-for-9 from the line. Khalani Hoyer led Marshfield with four points. Brenna Marshall had 12 and Megan Grimmer seven for the Warriors, who shot 14-for-19 from the line. “It’s a good game to get out and get into, because we’re going to play some physical games like that down the road against a quality opponent,” Bryant said. Marshfield has to get used to playing on short rest. This week, the Pirates travel to Cottage Grove on Tuesday and they play three straight days, starting Thursday at Elmira, in the Junction City/Cottage Grove Holiday Invitational. “We’re going to have to learn to play on dead legs for a while,” Bryant said. “It will be an adjustment for us, but we’re up to it.” YONCALLA 42, PACIFIC 36: The Eagles edged the Pirates in the consolation game of Yoncalla’s tournament. Abby Lyons had 16 points and Michaela Stevens added 15 for Yoncalla. Alecia Finley had 15 points and Sarah Sax 10 for Pacific. Finley was named to the all-tournament team.

The Lakers led by 18 at the half and never let the Corsairs back into the game.

I appreciate them being able to take care of things.”

first half and a decent third (quarter), but by the fourth, fatigue set in and we stopped doing the small things,” Bandon coach Amanda Duey said. “We stopped moving our feet and missed some boxout assignments, which led to fouling. “Foul trouble forced me to go deeper into our young bench in a close game, but that’s what the preseason is for, to work out the kinks, put the puzzle together and grow.”

Galaxy wins another MLS Cup The Associated Press ‌C A R S O N, C a l i f. — Landon Donovan is retiring as a champion, thanks to one brilliant goal by Robbie Keane. Keane scored on a breakaway in the 111th minute, and Donovan won his record sixth MLS title in the LA Galaxy’s 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution in the MLS Cup. Gyasi Zardes scored in the 52nd minute as the Galaxy won their record fifth league title in the final game for Donovan, the MLS career scoring leader and most accomplished soccer player in U.S. history. Donovan, Keane and the Galaxy have won three of the last four league championships, celebrating all three on their home field. Donovan won the sixth trophy of his 14-year MLS career, adding his fourth title with the Galaxy to a pair from early in his career with San Jose. Coach Bruce Arena won his record fifth MLS Cup, including the last three with the Galaxy, who haven’t lost at home since their season opener.

Spieth dominates at Tiger’s tournament‌ WINDERMERE, Fla. — Jordan Spieth won the Hero World Challenge with a performance tournament host Tiger Woods could appreciate. Staked to a seven-shot lead, Spieth blew away an elite field at Isleworth and set two tournament records when he closed with a 6-under 66 for a 10-shot victory over Henrik Stenson of Sweden. The 21-year-old from Texas won his second straight tournament in dominant fashion. Spieth won the Australian Open last week by six, and even a trip halfway around the world didn’t slow his momentum. He finished at 26-under 262, breaking the tournament record of 266 set by Woods in 2007 and Davis Love III in 2000, both of those scores at Sherwood Country Club in California. His 10-shot margin of victory broke Woods’ record. Woods, in his first tournament in four months while recovering from back injuries, closed with a 72. He tied for last place in the 18-man field with Hunter Mahan, 26 shots out of the lead. OLYMPICS‌

IOC approves new bidding process‌ MONACO — The IOC approved a new Olympic bidding process Monday to make the system less costly and adopted a more flexible sports program that could lead to the inclusion of baseball and softball at the 2020 Tokyo Games. The IOC agreed to abolish the cap of 28 sports

for the Summer Games and move to an “eventsbased” system that would allow new competitions to come in, while keeping to about 10,500 athletes and 310 medal events. Host cities will also be allowed to propose the inclusion of one or more additional events for their games. The new rules clear the way for Tokyo organizers to request that baseball and softball be included in the 2020 Games. Both sports, dropped after the 2008 Beijing Games, are highly popular in Japan. The new bidding process, meanwhile, is aimed at making the system cheaper and more flexible to attract future candidates — including the option of holding events outside the host city or country. The votes came at a time when many countries have been scared off by the costs of hosting the Olympics, including the reported $51 billion associated with the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. Several cities withdrew from the bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics, leaving only Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the running.

Mississippi hands Oregon first home loss of season The Associated Pres E U G E N E — S t e fa n ‌ Moody led five Mississippi scorers in double figures with 22 points and the Rebels avenged last year’s overtime loss at home to Oregon with a 79-73 victory on Sunday. M o o d y, t h e s m a l l est player on the floor at 5-foot-10, punctuated his effort with a two-handed dunk for the Rebels (6-2), who won despite leading scorer Jarvis Summers being held to just one point. Sebastian Saiz added 17 points for Ole Miss, which had three players off the bench reach double figures. LaDarius White finished with 13 points, and Aaron Jones and Dwight Coleby had 10 each. Freshman Dillon Brooks led the Ducks (5-3) with a season-high 21 points, and Pac-12 scoring leader Joseph Young added 17. It was Oregon’s first loss in six home games. Ole Miss led by as many as 18 points in the second half before Oregon cut the deficit to single digits several times, but the final sixpoint margin was as close as the Ducks came. Oregon defeated the Rebels 115-105 last year in Oxford, Mississippi. Summers’ single point came when he made 1 of 2 free throws late in the game before fouling out with four assists in 29 minutes. The senior guard, and

the Southeastern Conference’s active career leader in points (1,330), barely avoided being shut out for just the second time in 109 games as a Rebel. There were seven ties and 17 lead changes in the first half before Ole Miss went on a 10-0 run to move ahead 33-24. Oregon missed eight consecutive shots during the Rebels’ spurt, including a four on one possession. Ole Miss, which was 12 of 14 from the foul line before the break, closed out the half with a little luck. M.J. Rhett swatted home a rebound tip before Moody banked in a floater from the top of the key at the buzzer off an Oregon turnover for his fourth 3 and a 47-33 advantage. The Rebels were 5 of 7 on 3s in the first half to Oregon’s 4 of 15. Moody led all scorers with 14 points at the half. Ole Miss had a 35-5 edge in points off the bench and outrebounded the smaller Ducks 46-39. Rhett and Martavious Newby led the Rebels with seven rebounds each. OREGON STATE 65, PORTLAND 58, OT: Gary Payton II had 12 points and 12 rebounds and Oregon State rallied to beat the Portland Pilots in overtime on Saturday. Payton hit a jumper that put Oregon State up 59-57 with 2:12 left in overtime. Portland’s Thomas Van Der Mars missed the first of two free throws with 1:08 to go,

and Oregon State’s Jarmal Reid added a key block to keep the Beavers in front. Olaf Schaftenaar and Payton added free throws to stretch the Beavers’ lead to 63-58 and the Pilots couldn’t catch up. Victor Robbins led all scorers with 18 points for the Beavers (5-2), who won their second straight. Bobby Sharp led the Pilots with 12 points (6-2). After trailing by as many as seven points earlier in the half, Oregon State pulled ahead 45-44 on Langston Morris-Walker’s layup with 6:55 left. He padded the lead with a jumper, but Sharp hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 47 with 5:04 left. The teams wrestled for the lead the rest of the way. Robbins made a pair of layups to put the Beavers in front, but Alec Wintering’s layup with 28 seconds to go tied it at 53 and sent it to overtime. The Pilots were without their top scorer, guard Kevin Bailey, because of an injured left foot. Bailey was averaging 13.1 points. He was injured in Portland’s 83-71 victory Wednesday over crosstown rival Portland State. The Associated Press‌

Seahawks shine on defense again Oregon will The Associated Press ‌ HILADELPHIA — RusP sell Wilson threw two touchdown passes, ran for another score and the Seattle Seahawks stifled Philadelphia’s high-powered offense in a 24-14 victory over the Eagles on Sunday. Wilson had 263 yards passing and ran for 48 to help the Seahawks (9-4) win their third straight. The defending Super Bowl champions have victories over NFC West-leading Arizona (10-3), San Francisco (7-6) and Philadelphia (9-4) in the last three weeks. The Eagles host Dallas (9-4) with first place in the NFC East at stake next week. Richard Sherman and Co. held the Eagles to 139 total yards, the fewest under Chip Kelly. Pete Carroll was the winner in his first NFL matchup against Kelly. In the coaches’ only other meeting, Kelly’s Oregon Ducks beat Carroll and USC 47-20 on Oct. 31, 2009. PATRIOTS 23, CHARGERS 14: Tom Brady threw a 69-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman midway through the fourth quarter, and the Patriots (10-3) won for the eighth time in nine games. It clinched their 12th straight 10-win season for the second-longest such streak in NFL history. The Patriots spent the week in San Diego following a loss at Green Bay in order to cut down on lateseason travel. It certainly seemed to pay off for the defense: San Diego (8-5) was shut out in the second half. New England went ahead 16-14 on Stephen Gostkowski’s 38-yard field goal with 10:34 left. Brady faked a handoff and hit Edelman on a slant at about the 45 on the touchdown. Edelman broke two tackles and was gone. BRONCOS 24, BILLS 17: C.J. Anderson ran for three touchdowns and the Broncos overcame a rare unsteady outing by Peyton Manning. Manning ’s streak of 51 straight games with a touchdown throw — three shy of Drew Brees’ NFL record — ended on a sunsplashed, almost still afternoon in Denver, where the game-time temperature was a balmy 63 degrees. Despite three turnovers, the Broncos (10-3) won their third straight game since changing from a pass-oriented attack to a run-heavy approach. Manning finished 14 of 20 for 173 yards with two interceptions. Buffalo is 7-6. CARDINALS 17, CHIEFS 14: Kerwynn Williams rushed for 100 yards two days after being elevated from the

The Associated Press‌

Philadelphia’s Mark Sanchez is sacked by the Seahawks during the second half of their game Sunday. Arizona practice squad and the Cardinals rallied. The NFC West-leading Cardinals (10-3) took the lead when Drew Stanton threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown in the third quarter. Jamaal Charles scored two f i rs t - h a l f to u c h downs on a 63-yard run and 18-yard pass from Alex Smith, but the Chiefs (7-6) were shut out in the second half. COLTS 25, BROWNS 24: Andrew Luck threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to T.Y. Hilton with 32 seconds left, rallying Indianapolis. Cleveland (7-6) had two defensive touchdowns and contained the Colts quarterback until the final minute, but couldn’t finish him off. Before Luck connected with Hilton, Colts running back Daniel Herron picked up 2 yards on fourth down to keep the drive alive. Luck, who threw two interceptions and spent the day being harassed by an energized Browns defense, then fired his second TD pass to Hilton. The Colts (9-4) trailed 21-7 in the third quarter, but stormed back behind Luck, who finished 24 of 53 for 294 yards. STEELERS 42, BENGALS 21: Ben Roethlisberger threw three touchdown passes, including a 94-yarder to rookie Martavis Bryant in the fourth quarter that was the longest play from scrimmage this season. The win turned the AFC North into a wide-open race. In a game they had to win, the Steelers (8-5) caught up and ran away with 25 points in the fourth quarter. For Cincinnati (8-4-1), it was a second straight lopsided home loss to a division rival. The Bengals fell to Cleveland 24-3 before going on the road and winning three straight to take control of the division. RAVENS 28, DOLPHINS 13: The Baltimore Ravens played more than 17 minutes before picking up a first down, then overcame a 10-point deficit to win. The Ravens rallied with consecutive touchdown drives of 97 and 75 yards,

and added the clinching score after a favorable replay reversal. The victory gave Baltimore (8-5) a significant edge over Miami (7-6) in the AFC’s scramble for a wild-card playoff berth. The Dolphins, who haven’t been to the postseason since 2008, are now a long shot with three games to go. RAIDERS 24, 49ERS 13: Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes and the Raiders put a major dent into San Francisco’s dwindling playoff hopes in the Battle of the Bay. Carr completed 22 of 28 passes for 254 yards and completely outplayed counterpart Colin Kaepernick as the Raiders (2-11) won their second straight home game surrounding last week’s 52-0 loss at St. Louis. With a second straight loss the 49ers (7-6) are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in coach Jim Harbaugh’s fouryear tenure. PA N T H E R S 4 1 , S A I N T S 10: Cam Newton passed for three touchdowns, appeared to incite a scuffle with frustrated New Orleans after he went over the pile for another score, and the Panthers ended a six-game skid. Jonathan Stewart added a 69-yard touchdown as the Panthers (4-8-1) pulled closer to NFC South leader Atlanta (5-7), which plays at Green Bay on Monday night. New Orleans (5-8) lost its fourth straight home game to drop a half-game behind Atlanta. LIONS 34, BUCCANEERS 17: Matthew Stafford threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns — including one off a fluky deflection late in the game. The Lions (9-4), who trail first-place Green Bay by a half-game in the NFC North, snapped a nine-game losing streak in December. Tampa Bay (2-11) was finally eliminated from playoff contention — the NFC South’s mediocrity could only keep the Bucs in it for so long. They turned over the ball three times in the second quarter against

Detroit and never led. Rams 24, Redskins 0: The Rams have back-toback shutouts for the first time since 1945, giving them their first winning streak of the season. Jared Cook caught two touchdown passes, Tavon Austin returned a punt 78 yards for a score, and the defense allowed 206 total yards. The Rams (6-7) sacked Colt McCoy six times. He suffered a neck injury on the sixth sack just before the two-minute warning, so Robert Griffin III finished the game in his first appearance since getting benched two weeks ago. Griffin was sacked once during his brief stint. The Redskins (3-10) dropped their fifth straight. TEXANS 27, JAGUARS 13: Arian Foster ran for 127 yards and a touchdown, and the Texans won consecutive games for the first time since Week 2. Foster’s 1-yard run on the second play of the fourth quarter gave Houston (7-6) a comfortable cushion in what had been a back-and-forth game. The Jaguars (2-11) led 13-10 at halftime, but did little after the break. VIKINGS 30, JETS 24, OT: Jarius Wright’s 87-yard to u c h d ow n re c e p t i o n from Teddy Bridgewater in overtime gave the Vikings the win. After forcing the Jets to punt to start the extra period, the Vikings faced third-and-5. Bridgewater was blitzed and threw high on a bubble screen to his right. Wright jumped, made an off-balance grab, slipped by Jaiquawn Jarrett and outran defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson the rest of the way. Gerald Hodges returned an interception of Geno Smith for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage for the Vikings (6-7), but the much-maligned second-year quarterback bounced back for the Jets (2-11) by going 18-for-29 for 254 yards and gaining 33 yards rushing on six attempts. Smith was just 7 of 13 for 49 yards against Miami in the last game. GIANTS 36, TITANS 7: Eli Manning threw for 260 yards and a touchdown, and the Giants snapped a seven-game skid. The Giants (4-9) won for the first time since Oct. 5 with two rookies having big games. Odell Beckham Jr. set a team rookie record with his fourth game with 100 yards receiving this season: 11 catches for 130 yards and a TD. Andre Williams ran for a seasonhigh 131 yards, including a 50-yard TD. Tennessee (2-11) lost its seventh straight and for the 11th time in 12 games.

Altenbach helps SOU reach NAIA title game THE WORLD ‌Southern Oregon University is headed to the NAIA football championship game after routing Saint Xavier University in Chicago on Saturday in a game that featured an interception return for a touchdown by Coquille graduate Heston Altenbach. T h e R a i d e rs t ra i l e d 17-10 heading to the second quarter before scoring

fives straight touchdowns. The last of those was a 30-yard interception return by Altenbach, who picked off a ball that had been tipped by teammate Laurence Calcagno. The score put the Raiders ahead 41-17. Next up is the Dec. 19 championship game in Daytona Beach, Fla., against Marian (Ind.), which beat Morningside (Iowa) 41-21 in the other semifinal game Saturday.

PLAYOFF Big 12 is shut out Continued from B1

to determine a champion will come up. “This will be a catalyst for discussion for sure,” Bowlsby said. The Big 12 can’t hold a championship game because it only has 10 teams, but the conference, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, is trying to change that. The leagues have proposed getting rid of NCAA rules requiring a conference have 12 teams split into two divisions to play a title game. Holding one with 10 teams that play a nine-game round-robin schedule isn’t ideal because the game would always be a rematch, Bowlsby said.

Both Southern Oregon and Marian now have won two straight road games in the playoffs. Altenbach also had 10 tackles Saturday. While he made the big defensive play, the Raiders had another huge game on offense with quarterback Austin Dodge. Dodge passed for 460 yards and five touchdowns, including two scoring strikes to Matt Retzlaf and one to his brother, Ryan.

“I don’t know with 10 it’s something that we would necessarily do,” Bowlsby said. But conference expansion is a complicated issue that goes well beyond whether to hold a championship game. Bowlsby cautioned about making a “knee-jerk” reaction to one year’s results. He said his faith in the process has not wavered. “We put a system in place and I helped to put it in place and I have confidence in that system. And I have confidence in the impeccable integrity of the people in that room,” he said. Baylor coach Art Briles wasn’t so sure. “I think the committee needs to be a little more regionalized with people that are associated with the south part of the United States,” he said. “I’m not sure there is a connection on there that is that

face defending champions GREG BEACHAM

The Associated Press‌

‌PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Jameis Winston won the last Heisman Trophy. It looks as if Marcus Mariota is going to win the award this year. And on New Year’s Day, the two most decorated quarterbacks in college football will go head-tohead in the Granddaddy of Them All. Defending national champion Florida State (13-0) will face West Coast king Oregon (12-1) in the 101st edition of the Rose Bowl. The tantalizing matchup was determined by the College Football Playoff committee on Sunday. “You have two of the greatest of all time at their position,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. The schools will meet for the first time in a playoff semifinal that could be a showcase for Winston and Mariota, who both finished up their regular seasons by leading their teams to victories in their conferences’ championship games. Winston threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns in the Seminoles’ 37-35 win over Georgia Tech in the ACC game, and Mariota threw two TD passes and ran for three more in the Ducks’ 51-13 rout of Arizona in the Pac-12 final. “You have two of the greatest college football players right now,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It makes for great TV and great competition.” The Seminoles have never played in a Rose Bowl, but they were in Pasadena just last January, beating Auburn in the BCS national title game on the same hallowed turf in Arroyo Seco. Winston capped one of the greatest freshman seasons by a quarterback in the sport’s history by throwing the winning TD pass to Kelvin Benjamin with 13 seconds left in Florida State’s 34-31 victory, capping a 79-yard drive. Oregon will be in the traditional postseason destination for the Pac12 champion for the third time in six years, and the stands will be filled with green-clad faithful. The Ducks lost to Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State in 2010, but outlasted Wisconsin 45-38 in a thriller in 2012 for Oregon’s first Rose Bowl win in 95 years. Mariota hasn’t won a national title or played in a Rose Bowl yet, but the junior from Hawaii has done nearly everything else during three incredible seasons as the Ducks’ starter. He has thrown a touchdown pass in all 39 games of his college career while throwing just 12 interceptions — the same number Winston has thrown in his last six games. Mariota is highly likely to pick up the Heisman in New York later this month before focusing on ending Florida State’s 29-game winning streak.

familiar with the Big 12 Conference.” There were five active athletic directors on the 12-member committee, one from each of the Big Five conferences. The Big 12 was represented by West Virginia’s Oliver Luck. The Mountaineers have been in the Big 12 for three seasons. Maybe the most jarring part of Sunday’s unveiling was TCU dropping three spots from the last rankings. The Horned Frogs seemed to be secure at No. 3 last week, and then beat lowly Iowa State by 52 on Sunday. Committee chairman Jeff Long said TCU’s drop was more about the Buckeyes than the Frogs, but it highlighted a problem with weekly rankings. Commissioners initially leaned toward not having them when they first started putting the playoff together.

“ Eve ry t h i n g s ta r ts with him at Oregon,” Fisher said. “He’s a tremendous football player, and he can affect you in so many ways. Not with just the arm and the feet, but with his mind and his intangibles.” Here are more things to know about that annual football postscript to the Tournament of Roses Parade: SEEDS OF DOUBT: Oregon is the second seed in the playoff, ranked higher than the unbeaten defending champs likely on the Pac-12’s strength and the Ducks winning their last eight games by an average of 26 points. F l o r i d a S ta te , wh i c h ended up seeded third despite its perfect record, appeared to work much harder down the stretch, yet remained unbeaten for the second straight regular season. “ W h e reve r yo u ’re ranked right now, I don’t think matters that much,” Fisher said. “Because every team in this playoff is going to be a great team.” NOLES CAN’T LOSE: It’s not always pretty, but Winston and his Florida State teammates keep winning each week — 29 straight after outlasting Georgia Tech for their third straight ACC title. T h e Se m i n o l e s m a ke defensive mistakes, and Winston has thrown 17 interceptions, but they execute well near both goal lines, ranking among the nation’s best in redzone defense and offense. “When you get to 29, that’s just extremely, extremely impressive,” Helfrich said. CALIFORNIA LOVE: Oregon should have a decided home-field advantage in Pasadena, given the comparatively easy travel time from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California — along with a local base. When the Ducks beat UCLA here in October, the stands were filled with alumni and fans of the school jokingly known as the University of California at Eugene for its large percentage of Golden State students. BA N Q U E T C I R C U I T: Defenses have rarely slowed Mariota during his three years as Oregon’s starter, yet the Heisman Trophy ceremony and the surrounding hoopla might have an effect. Winston and Fisher candidly acknowledge the grind of postseason banquets and recognition before the bowl games even arrive, and Mariota is likely to be feted repeatedly during the holidays before the teams get to Disneyland on the day after Christmas. OFFENSIVE IDEAS: While the quarterback matchup is unparalleled, these teams’ offenses have little in common. F l o r i d a S ta te r u n s a pro-style offense designed to take advantage of Winston’s arm and legs, while Oregon runs Helfrich’s version of Chip Kelly’s spread offense.

While Long would emphasize every week the committee started with a clean slate, traditionally college football polls create a pecking order for teams that only gets disrupted by losses. The top six teams in last week’s rankings all won on Saturday. On Sunday, the teams were the same, but the order was very different. And it left many fans wondering why. Long said it was too soon to say what changes the committee would recommend to the commissioners. It’s safe to say the benefit of having weekly rankings will be addressed when Long’s crew reconvenes in a couple of months. “I think that the committee will look at this year, look at this season, look how the entire process went,” he said. Until then, let the playoff games begin.
