Going nonstop for justice

Attorney balances hectic work, family life with goal to be circuit court judge KURTIS HAIR The World ‌

‌COOS BAY— It’s the first week back from Thanksgiving break, and there are a million things to do.

For Megan Jacquot, an attorney and municipal court judge, coming back from any time off is always hectic. “ It’s really overwhelming,” Jacquot said. “The paperwork.

When I’m gone for a couple of days, it’s a little bit crazy, but it

tends to balance out.”

To say Jacquot has a busy life would be an understatement.

Jacquot works as an attorney in Coos Bay, argues cases in the Court of Appeals in Salem and works as a municipal judge in Reedsport three times a month. Throw having to raise five kids in the mix, and you’ve got a full plate. “ When it sometimes gets hairy is when they (Reedsport) get people in custody, because those people have to be arraigned w ithin 48 hours of the time they’re picked up,” Jacquot said.

Although Jacquot’s life can get extremely hectic, all of her hard work has prepared her to take the next step in her career.

Next year, Jacquot will run for a judge’s seat in the Coos County Circuit Court.

CEP work group: No way to enforce county’s use of general funds CHELSEA DAVIS The World‌

‌COOS BAY — A bigger slice o f Jordan Cove’s community service fees is proposed to go to Coos County for public safety, b ut local leaders realized on Monday there’s no way to make sure the county follows through.

T he Community Enhancement Plan work group met Monday to tweak agreements within the plan.

T he participants came to a realization. There’s no way to enforce how Coos County would use the extra 3 percent it would receive in community service fees (according to a decision by t he Waterfront Development Partnership work group).

Jacquot has been practicing law for about 18 years, and she said the time is right for her to fulfill a life goal. “ I’ve always wanted to be a judge,” Jacquot said. “It feels like something that’s a natural progression. The next step after you learn how to do one side is to look at both sides. I do that a lot in my family. I have five kids.”

O ther than raising five kids with her husband, Fred, Jacquot’s other life is law.

Jacquot grew up in Klamath Falls, and she said ever since she was young she was always a part of something that had anything to do with debating. It was only natural for her to pursue a career as an attorney.

Megan Jacquot, an attorney and municipal court judge, is getting caught up on work after taking a few days off for Thanksgiving.

JORDAN COVE

A fter urging from Coos C ounty Commissioner Bob M ain, the WDP work group decided to divert 3 percent of its 25 percent community service fee allocation to the county for public safety needs during Jordan Cove’s construction years.

“We don’t know, four years f rom now, where we’re going to most need that money,” said C oos County Commissioner John Sweet. “I don’t know how you’re going to enforce this.”

C ounty counsel Josh Soper agreed, noting that law enforcement is funded from the general fund, therefore saying these fees have to go toward public safety is difficult to enforce since they See CEP, A10

‌COOS COUNTY — The Oregon State Land Board will not privatize the Elliott State Forest.

After receiving an overwhelming amount of public support for keeping the forest public, the board, which is made up of Gov. John Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown and State Treasurer Ted Wheeler, decided to look for other management alternatives for the forest, according to a press release from Cascadia Wildlands.

The board will meet on Tuesday in Salem to discuss future m anagement and hear public comment on the issue.

Ninety percent of the forest is part of the Common School Fund, and in recent years, revenue from the forest has dropped drastically because of an Endangered Species Act litigation.

The forest cost the fund about $3 million instead.

The board was set up to resolve this issue, and has been looking into various alternatives in managing the forest.

One of the alternatives put on the table was to privatize the forest.

T he board has been hearing f rom the public on this issue, and in October, the board held a meeting at Southwestern Oregon Community College to gain public comment.

Many business owners, environmentalists and foresters vehemently opposed privatizing the forest at the meeting because of the impact the decision would have on the forest’s future.

Landowners urge FERC to reconsider Pacific Connector pipeline route, favor Blue Ridge alternative CHELSEA DAVIS The World‌

‌COOS BAY — Jordan Cove E nergy Project and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline’s federal environmental review has done at least one thing: divided the South Coast even further.

T he Hales Center auditorium was a sea of lime green T-shirts Monday night, worn

by Boost Southwest Oregon s upporters. But more of the comments out of the 80 people who spoke during the fourand-a-half hour meeting were against Jordan Cove and Pacific

Connector.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff and cooperating agencies held the meeting to hear public comments o n the projects’ draft environmental impact statement issued last month.

North Bend fixing collapsed sewer line KURTIS HAIR The World‌

‌NORTH BEND — After discovering a collapsed sewer line, the city of North Bend declared an emergency so it could quickly contract for a fix.

Last week, the city’s wastewater department was attempting to clear blockage from a main sewer line between Oak and Fir

streets. But after sending a camera down the line, workers learned that it had actually collapsed.

City Administrator Terence O’Connor declared an emergency on Friday after finding the line was too deep for the city workers to replace and the city could not guarantee they could keep the system from clogging up.

“We need to take care

of that,” O’Connor said.

“They’ve (city workers) been keeping it open by running a rooter through it, but it’s to the point where it needs to be replaced.”

The city immediately contracted Benny Hempstead Excavating on Friday night and entered into a verbal agreement to fix the issue. The work is expected to cost the city no more than $15,000, which will

come out of the city’s sewer fund.

T h e c i ty co u n c i l i s ex p e c te d to o f f i c i a l ly authorize the contract at its scheduled meeting Tuesday night.

The construction company began work on the sewer line on Saturday.

Marci Goodrich, estimator and project manager for Hempstead, said workers were able to replace the

sewer line and stabilize the sinkhole on Saturday.

The collapse of the sewer line is not shocking.

For North Bend, stagnant revenue growth has forced the city to put off needed repairs to its infrastructure, and the city has been looking for any alternative source of revenue to keep up with the deteriorating sewer lines and city streets.

The city council recently vo te d to a p p ro ve a n increase in the sewer rate as one source of revenue in addressing sewer lines.

Residents have been paying an extra $4.50 a month. ​ eporter Kurtis Hair can be R reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 240, or by email at kurtis.hair@theworldlink.com.

Getting ready for the run Curry Commissioners hear Pacific Gales appeal Thursday JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌G OLD BEACH — The C urry County Board of Commissioners will hear an appeal to the Planning C ommission’s approval o f the proposed Pacific Gales Golf Course during a meeting Thursday.

T he Planning Commission approved a cond itional use permit for t he golf course in late O ctober. That decision was appealed by the Oregon Coast Alliance last m onth, setting up this week’s hearing. It’s the s econd time around for the groups involved — Elk R iver Property Development LLC, which has proposed to build the golf c ourse on a portion of Knapp Ranch, just north o f Port Orford, and the e nvironmental group Oregon Coast Alliance.

Last year, the Planning

Commission approved a c onditional use permit a nd the Board of Comm i s s i o n e rs a f f i r m e d t hat decision when it was appealed by ORCA. After ORCA appealed the c ounty decision to the O regon Land Use Board of Appeals, the develope rs withdrew their first p roposal and filed the new one, which they said c leaned up several legal issues raised by ORCA and O regon Shores, another environmental group that j oined in the appeal to LUBA. Because the golf course would be built on land zoned exclusive farm use, the conditional use permit is required.

T he project has r eceived broad support f rom Port Orford resid ents and others along the South Coast as a possible economic boost for the region.

B ut ORCA has been

a gainst the golf course f ro m t h e s ta r t , a n d a ppealed the Planning C ommission’s approval this fall on several legal g rounds, including the s ize of the golf course and the building associated with it, wetlands and water rights issues as well as concern for the impact o n salmon runs on the nearby Elk River.

T h u r s d a y ’s m e e t ing begins at 11 a.m. The Board of Commissioners can affirm the Planning Commission’s decision, reverse it or amend it.

I f the decision is a ffirmed, ORCA is expected to again appeal the matter to LUBA. Sports Editor John Gunther can be reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 241, or by email at john.gunther@theworldlink.com.

Help for pregnant students ‌“How can a scared, pregnant student, one probably racked with anxiety and facing a totally unplanned situation, find the resources and support she needs to parent her child and continue her education?”

K ristan Hawkins both asks and answers the question. She’s the energetic young president of Students for Life of America. In her mind, abortion needs to be unthinkable. How does such a paradigm shift h appen in a country w here abortion has b een legal for more than four decades?

Her group has just launched a “Pregnant on Campus” initiative.

The goal is to connect p regnant students w ith resources and Kathryn support to help them LOPEZ g et through school Columnist while being true parents to their children.

Pregnant on Campus groups will hold baby showers and diaper drives for expectant mothers on their campuses. They volunteer at local pregnancy help centers and help usher pregnant women through paperwork and bureaucracy.

A young woman “should never have to choose between her education and her child,” Hawkins tells me.

But that’s absolutely the predominant message a pregnant college student hears. “Often, the message she sees is ‘have an abortion or drop out of school.’” It’s a false choice. “For her and her child’s future and well-being, our goal should be to make sure she graduates school,” Hawkins says, adding that “a child born into poverty is seven times more likely to live in poverty his or her whole life.”

And so on 838 campuses across the country, Students for Life is prepared to activate a network of support for students in need, “to help her navigate the resources available at her college, help her find appropriate housing and financial aid, give her the emotional support she needs and help her through a possible difficult time in her life.”

T hat doesn’t mean anyone is sugarcoating anything. “It will certainly be a challenging journey, but t here is real support and help for ( pregnant students),” Beth Rahal, S tudents for Life’s Pregnant on Campus coordinator tells me.

Like any woman who finds herself unexpectedly with child, a pregnant college student must be “embraced with compassion,” Rahal says, and a look at the Pregnant on Campus website echoes her words. “We must stop judging the woman for why she is in this situation,” Rahal says. “She needs to know that you care about her. Your support can help relieve her fears and anxieties, and it can help her make a life-affirming decision.”

I f you’re pregnant on campus, know that life is a choice and that staying in school and providing for your new family is an option. For men, too, the Pregnant on Campus initiative’s message is: You’re not alone.

I f people see that going to coll ege and raising a child is doable, life happens and death ceases. No young woman should have to choose to deny her motherhood, deny her child life. She doesn’t have to. She needs to see this. This is true both on and off campus.

Kathryn Jean Lopez is senior fell ow at the National Review Instit ute, editor-at-large of National Review Online and founding director of Catholic Voices USA. She serves on Cardinal Dolan’s Pro-Life Commission with Dr. Nolte.

Saying thanks in a tangible way ‌Bandon business owne rs have a neat holiday idea to promote shopping locally and we’re surprised that other localities haven’t borrowed it.

In its sixth year, Shop Band on offers shoppers a prem ium for spending their money. First, shoppers mount up to $85 in purchases from businesses in Bandon’s 97411 zip code. Then they take those receipts to the Bandon Visitor Center and turn them in for o ne of four commemorative I rish coffee mugs embossed with iconic Bandon images.

P urchases must be made between Nov. 28 and Dec. 22.

The only purchases that don’t count toward the premium are city utilities, groceries, prescriptions and gas stations.

T hat means everything else — from gifts to meals and e verything else from more than 150 Bandon businesses — counts toward the premium.

And real enthusiasts can collect up to eight of the glasses.

The program is sponsored b y the Bandon Chamber of C ommerce. According to C hamber executive director Julie Miller, glasses are already

moving fast. No secret why; w ord has spread about the holiday promotion and folks a re now coming to Bandon from nearby towns and even out of state.

Now, we’ve promoted shopping locally — not just during the holidays but year round — for lots of reasons. The overall economic benefits are well known — money spent locally re-circulates, jobs are created,

businesses can grow.

B ut the Bandon chamber r ealizes that those impacts a ren’t always clearly evid ent to the average person who just wants to make a few p urchases. That patron has options on where to spend his or her hard-earned cash. And even if a customer chooses to s tick with the spirit behind shopping local, it’s still a nice gesture when merchants say

“Thanks.”

A nd that’s what Bandon merchants are doing with this glass giveaway – saying thanks for recognizing the value we offer.

Letters to the Editor Threats to our power grid ‌There has been some news o n the threats to our Power Grid but not nearly enough. I doubt many have even heard about this threat or given it any thought.

From all reports, both China and Russia have placed malware into our distribution systems that they could activate at any point. Not only are they a threat, but ISIS has plans for a “dirty” bomb which could be dropped in our atmosphere which would take out power.

Iran wants an “America which does not exist.” They also have access to “dirty bombs.” The d irty bombs would cause an

electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which would “fry” electrical systems. All they would need is a not too large plane to do the awful deed. We have many enemies who would love to take us down!

There is also the “natural” threat, which is a major sungenerated EMP, such as what happened in the mid 1800s that fried all the telegraph wires and the communication of the day.

Today we rely on so much more than the telegraph.

Congressman Trent Franks has been sounding the alarm, as has Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy.

The point of this letter is that finally Congress has passed a bill to harden the grid against these threats. It is called the

How we can rebuild trust: Listen to each other ‌Civil rights leaders, led by Marc Morial of the N ational Urban League, met in New York City on Dec. 4 to discuss steps that s hould be taken to help rebuild trust between law enforcement officials and the citizens they are sworn t o protect. The leaders promised to hold a march on Dec. 13 in Washington, D.C., followed by a summit focused on education and boycotts.

These actions come after the high-profile grand jury decisions not to indict cops in the deaths of Mike Brown of Ferguson, Mo.; and Eric Garner of New York.

As one of my friends who is studying abroad stated: “The part about (the grand jury decisions) that most makes me want to cry out,

i n sadness and frustration, is that there are not two sides to t his issue.

P eople are c hoosing sides, allyi ng their loyalty with e ither law e nforcem ent or t h e p ro - Donna testers. But BRAZILE t h e p ro - Columnist cess isn’t as intellectual or deliberate as that. “ People have natural s ympathies. Those who have only had universally g ood experiences with p olice find it impossible to imagine that an officer would shoot an unarmed man without good reason.

The same is happening on the side of the protesters.”

That’s why we continue t o get locked in debate about the details of Michael B rown and Darren Wilson’s interaction. All that matters is that Brown was a nother person of color, k illed while unarmed, by police. Since Brown’s death, there have been 14 other teenagers killed by police. The problem here is not that it happened once, under suspicious circumstances, but that it keeps happening.

When candidate Barack Obama gave his great speech about race in 2008, he quoted a conservative white novelist from Mississippi who famously wrote: “The past isn’t dead and buried.

In fact, it isn’t even past.”

Tragedies like the killings of Brown, Trayvon Martin and the 12-year-old Tamir R ice in Cleveland don’t happen in a historical vacuum. They’re part of a terrible history in which black people’s lives have not been valued. Black lives weren’t recognized as fully human in the days of slavery. They w ere commodities, so it was okay to enslave and destroy them.

Of course, we have come far since the days of slavery and Jim Crow. But the racism that allowed for the institution of slavery is not all gone. It lingers perniciously.

T hat’s why this issue isn’t two-sided. There is no “being on the side of the cops.” We are all on the side of the cops. No one wants

u narmed children and teenagers gunned down.

Not by thugs or gangs and not by police. Imagine the p sychological damage it must cause to know you are responsible for murdering a child like Tamir Rice, who was playing with a toy gun.

S o l e t ’s ta k e s te p s together that protect everybody. All cops should wear body cameras. According to the Police Foundation, the findings of a randomized, controlled trial suggest that using body cameras would reduce the total number of use-of-force complaints by 50 percent.

To outfit the entire Ferguson police department with cameras would cost less than $20,000, less than 0.37 percent of the Ferguson Police Department’s

budget in 2014.

C ameras don’t solve centuries of ingrained racism and subtle biases. But, i f they stop more little black and brown kids from getting shot, we need them.

Compassion and listening are what I can prescribe for ingrained racism and subtle biases. Seek out the stories of those who have a different experience from you. Don’t look for reasons they’re wrong or overly sensitive. Just listen.

Listen and accept that race colors our experience of the world. But it shouldn’t determine whether we have something to fear from those sworn to protect and serve. The law and its representatives should protect us all, equally. Until then, we all have work to do.

I left work early to get ready for the party. When Tom arrived home, he couldn’t keep his eyes or hands off me. We never made it to the party and had the best sex we’d had in years. Before that night, our love life had been practically nonexistent.

It has been six years and I have moved on, but I’m still angry over their cheating. They got married and invited mutual friends who knew of their affair. All of them attended the wedding.

State

Man pleads guilty to murder in 2012 Ore. death

The Associated Press‌

Plaintiff Christine Seals, right, is joined by fellow plaintiffs Cameron Alderman, left, and George Harris at a press conference in Portland on Monday. Sponsors of an Oregon ballot measure that would require labels on genetically modified foods filed a lawsuit today to force state elections officials to count 4,600 ballots disqualified because signatures on the vote-by-mail envelopes didn’t match those on registration cards.

Oregon GMO label backers sue over rejected votes ‌ ORTLAND (AP) — The P sponsors of an Oregon ballot measure that would require labels on genetically modified foods filed an emergency lawsuit Monday challenging the method used by elections officials to make sure signatures on ballot measure envelopes are not forged.

The lawsuit was filed amid indications that a statewide hand recount of ballots on the measure would not result in the measure passing. It seeks to force officials to count 4,600 ballots disqualified because signatures on the vote-by-mail envelopes didn’t match those on registration cards.

In the first count of ballots, Measure 92 lost by a little more than 800 votes, triggering an automatic recount. That margin has not changed much as counties have filed their recount results with the Secretary of State’s Office.

One of the eight plaintiffs named in the lawsuit, Christine Seals of Multnomah County, is a quadriplegic who said her signature was rejected after she signed her ballot with a signature stamp — which she had used to successfully vote in previous elections. Though voters whose signatures did not match had the opportunity rectify the problem by mail or in person, Seals said she assumed her ballot rejection was a mistake and didn’t challenge it.

Another plaintiff, George Harris of Multnomah County, said his signature

was altered as a result of a stroke he suffered this year.

He said he couldn’t correct his signature, because he was undergoing treatment during the allotted time.

And Ramon Ramirez, president of an Oregonbased farmworker union, said the issue also impacts Latino immigrant voters who are confused as to why their votes are being rejected.

“For many of these folks who are new citizens and first time voters, it’s very disenfranchising to be told your vote doesn’t count,” Ramirez said.

The deadline for counties to finish the recount is Friday. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to stop the certification of the statewide recount until the disqualified ballots are counted. It was filed against Secretary of State Kate Brown and Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott.

Se c re ta ry o f S ta te spokesman Tony Green said his office is reviewing the complaint. Multnomah County Elections officials declined to comment.

The measure’s backers say the signature match rule disenfranchises voters. The lawsuit argues ballots should only be rejected if the Secretary of State or local election officials can establish they were fraudulently signed or forged.

“These votes are simply dumped. They’re not believed to be fraudulent.

It’s a standard put in place out of fear, and it’s a burden to voters,” said Paige

Richardson, the measure’s campaign manager.

For a vote to be considered valid in Oregon, a voter’s signature on the ballot return envelope must match the signature in the registration card on file at the election’s office.

But the GMO labeling measure’s proponents say voters are never informed that they will be required to match the signature on file.

They say some voters have tried and failed to fix their mismatched signature with election officials, and others never received notification that their vote is being challenged.

This election marks the first time in Oregon that a list of problem ballots was released to the public. The GMO labeling campaign says it discovered the signature problem after making thousands of calls and knocking on thousands of doors in an effort to find more votes for the measure.

The measure’s sponsors say voter identification is already being verified in less restrictive ways in the state, before matching even occurs. Those ways include voters confirming their identities by signing the ballot return envelope and the ability to track ballots through a postal barcode.

If the defeat holds, Oregon will be the fourth state in the West that has failed to pass a GMO labeling measure. A similar proposal was defeated this year in Colorado, which joined Washington state and California in opposing labeling initiatives.

Still no motive in fatal Oregon student stabbing ‌M CMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Three weeks after an Oregon college studentathlete was fatally knifed at a convenience store, the investigation shows the young man did not know his attacker and they had no altercation before the stabbing, a prosecutor said Monday.

“There is no apparent motive that we can come up with,” Yamhill County District Attorney Brad Berry told a news conference, The Oregonian reported.

Parker Moore, 20, was a Linfield College student who grew up in Woodinville, Wash.

Police shot and killed Jove n t i n o B e r m u d e z A re n a s , 3 3, w h e n h e returned to the McMinnville store shortly after the stabbing on the night of Nov. 15.

His relatives say the Spanish-speaking man was returning to surrender. Family members earlier told KGW-TV through a translator that BermudezArenas came home from the store, told them there was a problem, and that he was going back to turn himself in to authorities.

Berry told reporters Monday that the man was holding his hands in fists over his head, with one hand clutching a knife.

The prosecutor says the man shook his hands three times.

The third time, the man also took a step toward officers, who had repeatedly told him to get down.

Berry says three officers fired 15 shots. BermudezArenas was 10 to 12 feet from officers when he took a step toward them and they fired, the prosecutor said.

McMinnville police Sgt. Rhonda Sandoval, Officer Brian McMullen and Officer Justin James will not face charges, the district attorney said.

Relatives of BermudezArenas said he would not have understood instructions in English.

It’s not known whether a language barrier played a part in the shooting, Berry said. Officers followed their training, and often don’t have time to determine the primary language of suspects, he said.

About 2,000 mourners attended a memorial service for Moore at the college gym.

Moore was a business management major and a resident adviser, school officials said.

‌P ORTLAND (AP) — Portland police say a 39-year-old man who pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and related charges in the Christmas 2012 killing of a woman has been sentenced to life in prison.

Sgt. Pete Simpson says Michael James Kirkland pleaded guilty Monday to aggravated murder, felony strangulation, corpse abuse, burglary and theft in the Dec. 25, 2012, death of 33-year-old Jaime Lyn Larson.

O f f i ce rs fo u n d t h e woman’s body in the Park Terrace Apartments in southwest Portland.

Homicide detectives identified Kirkland as the only suspect. Simpson says detectives learned that Larson met Kirkland only hours before her death.

The man was arrested Jan. 3, 2013.

New talks for striking UO teaching assistants ‌EUGENE (AP) — Both sides in a week-old strike by graduate teaching assistants at the University of Oregon have met for another mediation session.

The Oregonian reports that union spokesman Justin Buchanan says the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation asked for the Monday afternoon session through a state mediator and the school agreed.

Buchanan says he has no details on the negotiations.

The teaching assistants walked out Dec. 2 after contract talks stalled over medical and maternity leave benefits.

The talks come as students begin taking finals.

The strikers want two weeks of paid medical or maternity leave a year.

Hospital: Pharmacy error led to patient death ‌PORTLAND (AP) — An Oregon hospital says last week’s death of a patient who was given the wrong m e d i ca t i o n o cc u r re d because of the error of a hospital pharmacy worker who inadvertently filled an IV bag with the wrong drug. The mistake was one of several revealed Monday by the St. Charles Health System that led to the death of 65-year-old Loretta Macpherson at its hospital in Bend.

Officials say Macpherson was given a paralyzing agent typically used during surgeries instead of an anti-seizure medication.

Dead orca was pregnant with full-term fetus ‌C OURTENAY, British Columbia (AP) — The necropsy on the orca found dead off Vancouver Island showed it was pregnant with a full-term fetus.

Experts had speculated the death may have arisen from birth complications. Biologists have yet to determine the cause of death.

The Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans also says someone removed several teeth from the dead killer whale before it could be examined.

Pacific marine mammals coordinator Paul Cottrell says a couple of teeth were broken off and others were sawed off at the gum line.

It’s illegal to possess part of an endangered animal.

The orca known as J-32 was found floating in the water Thursday near Courtenay. It was moved to a boat launch Friday for the necropsy.

The death leaves 77 animals in the Puget Sound orca population.

Federal autopsy released in Ferguson shooting ‌S T. LOUIS (AP) — A federal autopsy in the Ferguson police shooting reached similar conclusions to those performed by local officials and a private examiner hired by 18-year-old Michael Brown’s family, documents show.

T h e A r m e d Fo r c e s Medical Examiner System’s autopsy on Brown,

Mother, 2 young sons among 6 dead in plane crash ‌GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — Residents of a suburban community adjacent to a small, regional airport said they don’t give much thought to the jets that fly over their homes daily.

B u t t h e so u n d t h ey heard Monday — a plane flying much too low and struggling to remain aloft — was different. It was followed by a horrifying scene on the ground.

A mother and her two young sons, one of them just a month old, were killed Monday morning when a private jet crashed i n to t h e i r t wo - s to r y wood-frame home, which was engulfed in a fireball immediately, authorities and witnesses said. All three people on board the plane also died.

Marie Gemmell, 36, tried to protect 3-yearold Cole and 1-month-old Devon from the smoke and fire, but there was nothing she could do, Montgomery County police spokesman Capt. Paul Starks said. Her body was found in a second-floor bathroom, lying on top of her sons.

T h e j e t ’s f u s e l a g e crashed into the front lawn of an adjacent home, which was heavily damaged by fire, and investigators believe one of its wings, which had fuel inside, sheared off and tore through the front of the Gemmell home, said Robert Sumwalt, a National Transportation Safety Board member.

Witnesses reported seeing and hearing a secondary explosion after the plane hit the ground.

The plane took off from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and was approaching a runway at the Montgomery County Airpark, about a mile from the crash site, when it went down, Sumwalt said. Witnesses reported that the plane was flying too low and careening wildly before the crash.

“This guy, when I saw him, for a fast jet with the wheels down, I said, ‘I think he’s coming in too low,’” Fred Pedreira, 67, who lives near the crash site, told The Associated Press. “Then he was 90 degrees — sideways — and then he went belly-up into the house and it was a ball of fire. It was terrible.

“I tell you, I got goosebumps when I saw it,” Pedreira said. “I said, ‘My God, those are people in that plane.’”

In 911 calls released by authorities overnight, shock and alarm is evident in the callers’ voices.

“I just saw a jet hit a house! The house is on fire,” one man said.

“When he came in on final (approach), it flamed out and he went straight down into that house.”

Another caller said he heard a giant explosion.

“And we looked out the window and it looks like a house is on fire and there is smoke coming out of it and everything,” the man said. “We got some people running over there to see if people are OK right now.”

The home was gutted by the crash and ensuing blaze. The first floor was nearly completely blown out and smoke drifted from a gaping hole in what was left of the collapsing roof. No one was injured in the two adjacent homes that also had major damage.

conducted at the request of the Department of Justice, was among grand jury documents that St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch released Monday with little explanation. Other documents include transcripts of eight federal interviews o f p oss i b l e w i t n e sse s to Brown’s shooting in early August; police radio

traffic; and an alleged audio recording of the shots fired

by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.

Many of the documents contained information that was similar or identical to the materials that McCulloch released on Nov. 24 after a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson in Brown’s death. A transcript of testimony from

an Air Force pathologist who performed the Justice Department autopsy was included in the November documents, but the autopsy report itself was not released until Monday.

The transcripts of the witness interviews that were released Monday were already included in previously released testimony heard by the grand jury.

The Justice Department autopsy found that Brown died from multiple gunshot wounds and had severe head and chest injuries, though it noted that the chest injury might have been an exit wound from a shot that entered Brown’s arm. The autopsy also found a minor gunshot wound to Brown’s right hand was evidence of

close range discharge of a firearm.

Wilson told the local grand jury that his gun went off during a tussle with Brown through the open window of his police car moments before Brown was fatally shot.

The Justice Department is conducting a separate civil rights investigation into Brown’s death.

Get cash for stuff you don’t need I‌ t’s been more than 15 years since I first met William Lewis, CPA. I’d come across a small book that piqued my interest, so I gave him a call.

Bill told me that for years he’d found himself frustrated that his clients, fo r w h o m Everyday he manages Cheapskate wealth and prepares tax returns, we re fa i l ing to take all of the deductions fo r wh i c h t h ey we re entitled.

Mary M a ny c l i Hunt ents would donate clothes and household goods throughout the year, but then fail to take the fair market value of those times, as allowed by the IRS. His hands were tied because without a list of the items, then a reliable market valuation for each, he couldn’t be certain that his clients were paying the taxes they owed, and not one penny more. Every year, his clients walked away leaving money on the table, filling the government’s coffers, and not their own.

Bill decided to do something about it. He made a list of the items most often THE FAMILY CIRCUS donated and then took that list to several retail thrift stores. He meticulously gathered data in order to come up with true market values that he could document — and feel comfortable defending before the IRS, if that ever became necessary. Then he gave copies of this work to his clients, asking them to use these valuations to determine the market value of all the items they had donated during that tax year.

You can guess what happened. His clients, one after another, owed less in taxes. They took the proper deductions for their donations, knowing that if they were ever questioned or audited, their CPA, William Lewis, would represent and defend those valuations before the IRS. They had confidence!

Since then, every year Bill and his staff update and republish that list, which has now grown to a booklet, “Money for Your Used Clothing,” now coauthored with tax auditor Connie Edmond, which adds even more credibility to the effort.

Every year, Bill, Connie and staff add more items to the list (this year there are more than 1,200 entries), re-evaluate the market values and adjust them according to the real and true amounts that gently used items are bringing in to second-hand and thrift stores across the country.

Bill and his staff actually audit the prices of these kinds of stores, every single year. Every tax year requires new valuations.

The current “Money for Your Used Clothing 2014” is the valuations and workbook every taxpayer who itemizes their federal (and state as applicable) tax return really needs to make sure they are getting every dollar of deductions for which they qualify. This is an amazing tax prepara- MODERATELY CONFUSED tion tool. Without it, the average person faces a real dilemma: If you claim too much for your donations, your run the risk of getting audited and then paying penalties. If you don’t claim enough, then you are walking away from free money.

“Money for Your Used Clothing” retails for $25.

D I G E S T Car bombs kill 7 soldiers in Yemen ‌SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Al-Qaida militants killed s e ve n s o l d i e rs T u e s day in two suicide car bomb attacks at a military encampment in the southern Yemeni city of Sayoun, military officials said.

The attacks, which also wounded eight soldiers, started with a suicide car bomb attack on the camp gates while a second suicide car bomber detonated his explosives inside the camp’s grounds, officials said.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.

The official Twitter account of Yemen’s alQaida branch claimed re s p o n s i b i l i ty fo r t h e attacks, saying they killed and wounded dozens of soldiers.

Prosecutor seeks appeal in Pistorius case ‌P R E T O R I A , S o u t h Africa (AP) — A South African judge will respond on Wednesday to arguments on whether to allow p rose c u to rs to a p p ea l t h e ve rd i c t a n d s e n tence in the case against Oscar Pistorius, who was acquitted of the murder of his girlfriend.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel outlined his objections to the culpable homicide verdict and sentence against the Olympic runner, saying Judge Thokozile Masipa erred in her interpretation of the law.

Masipa, who presided over the Pistorius trial, will also decide whether the case can be heard at the Supreme Court of Appeal.

I n O c to b e r, M a s i p a convicted Pistorius of the lesser charge of culpable homicide and sentenced him to a five-year prison term. He could be released from prison to be held under house arrest after 10 months.

Ukraine attempts new cease-fire ‌ IEV, Ukraine (AP) — K Government troops and Russian-backed separatists largely suspended hostilities in east Ukraine Tuesday in a fresh attempt to revive a largely ignored cease-fire deal.

The lull in fighting followed a proposal by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to hold a “day of silence” as a precursor to a possible long-standing settlement.

The seven-month long conflict has left more than 4,300 people dead, displaced hundreds of thousands and exhausted a nation struggling to stave off economic collapse.

Separatist rebel leaders have supported the truce, which appeared to be holding around the main rebel-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Illegal ivory prices soar in China ‌N AIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Street prices for illegal ivory are soaring in China, where newly wealthy middle and upper class citizens are buying carved ivory and whole tusks as a status symbol of their riches, a report released Tuesday found.

The group Save The E l e p h a n ts s a i d i n i ts report that the wholesale price of raw tusks has tripled since 2010.

It said retail prices of ivory have increased by 13 times between 2002 and 2014 in Beijing shops.

Animal conservationists say higher demand for ivory is fueling the elephant killings by poachers across Africa. Save The Elephants said earlier this year that 100,000 elephants were killed in Africa between 2010 and 2012.

Frenchman held by al-Qaida is freed PARIS (AP) — A Frenchman held for more than three years by al-Qaida’s North African branch was freed Tuesday, days after two of the men implicated in his abduction were reportedly released from a prison in Mali.

Negotiations among the governments of Niger, Mali and France led to freedom for Serge Lazarevic, who was described by the French president as in “relatively good health” despite the conditions of his captivity.

T u e s d a y ’s r e l e a s e , greeted with joy among many in France — including several former hostages

— stands in contrast to the attempted rescue in Yemen last weekend that ended in the deaths of an American and South African held by al-Qaida.

Lazarevic was en route to the capital of Niger, French President Francois Hollande said in announcing his release. He also thanked the Niger president for helping to free the Frenchman.

“We no longer have any hostages in any country of the world, and we should not have any,” Hollande added.

German court throws out Nazi massacre case ‌BERLIN (AP) — A German court on Tuesday threw out the case against a former SS man accused of involvement in the largest civilian massacre in Nazi-occupied France, saying there was not enough evidence to bring the 89-year-old to trial.

Cologne resident Werner C., whose last name has not been revealed in accordance with German privacy laws, was charged with murder and accessory to murder in connection with the 1944 slaughter of 642 civilians in Oradour-sur-Glane in southwestern France.

In its ruling, the C o l o g n e s ta te c o u r t said no witness statements disprove the suspect’s contention that he was present but did not take part, nor is there any reliable documentary evidence that he was involved in the massacre.

Werner C. was part of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the “Der Fuehrer” regiment of the fanatical

SS’s “Das Reich” division.

Four days after the June 6, 1944, D-Day landings in Normandy the company attacked Oradour-surGlane in reprisal for the French Resistance’s kidnapping of a German soldier.

The troops herded the civilians into barns and into the church, blocked the doors and then set fire to the entire town. Those not killed in the blazes were shot as they tried to flee, though a handful managed to escape.

Dortmund prosecutors had alleged that the suspect shot 25 men as part of a firing squad and then helped as troops blockaded and set fire to the church.

“In a trial it could probably only be proved the suspect was in the area during the massacre in Oradour-sur-Glane as he has consistently maintained,” the court said.

“This mere presence is not enough to prove accessory to murder without the proof of other circumstances.”

Lazarevic, Philippe Verdon, was found dead in July 2013.

A security official in Mali, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his safety, said Lazarevic’s release came after negotiations to free two al-Qaida fighters arrested in the two Frenchmen’s abduction.

T h e two a l - Qa i d a detainees were transferred to mediators in Niger on Saturday and then turned over to al-Qaida, the Malian official said. It was not clear if they remained in Niger.

A French official, who spoke on condition of

anonymity because the issue is sensitive, said Lazarevic was released Tuesday but declined to offer details on the release of the al-Qaida prisoners, beyond saying the negotiations on the hostage were led by Mali and Niger.

Hostage-taking has proved to be a lucrative business in Mali and other Sahel countries. Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb took numerous Western hostages until France intervened in Mali in January 2013 to rout out extremists.

Hollande’s government insists it pays no ransoms, although he has acknowle d ge d t h a t p r i s o n e r

exchanges have been made on behalf of French hostages. American officials have quietly accused France and other European countries of paying ransoms.

Hollande on Tuesday urged French citizens and companies to take continued precautions against kidnappings. At one point, at least 14 French nationals were held hostage by Islamic militants in West Africa.

Lazarevic and Verdon were kidnapped from their hotel in Hombori in northeastern Mali. Their families say they were in the region doing a feasibility study for a future cement factory.

A fter U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s O&C bill wasn’t attached to must-pass legislation, Sweet isn’t holding his breath for federal timber revenues to return to the county.

In a previous WDP work group meeting, Main said the county could charge cities for jail beds to make up for its funding gap.

“That would be a tough one to swallow, if the county

comes back later (after having received this 3-percent bump) and wants to tax the cities for beds anyway,” said port commissioner and CEP work group member Eric Farm.

Koch said the rationale behind declaring intent for the 3 percent was “if we single out one of those (North S pit) taxing districts and give it a bump, what’s the basis for that?”

That fed into the anti-LNG crowd’s vehement opposition to the use of eminent d omain — especially by a Canadian company (Jordan Cove is owned by Veresen Inc., which is based in Calgary, Alberta).

“How is the public interest served when landowne rs have their property confiscated under eminent domain and given 25 perc ent — or, so generously, up to 50 percent of market value — for their property or lose it entirely?” said Paul ette Landers. “What if I proposed to buy the Jordan Cove owner’s property for 50 percent of market value?

You bet he would feel a wee bit outraged.

“We, on the other hand, will continue to have high unemployment and a megabomb sitting on the Cascadia fault line. Kaboom.”

Several people also asked FERC to throw out the draft EIS entirely and start over, c laiming it violated the National Environmental Policy Act by slanting observations in favor of Jordan Cove and not considering all alternatives.

Martha Clemons said “the notion that LNG is a clean alternative fuel is false” due to fracking. Dennis Coplin, director of political and legislative affairs for the plumbers and steamfitters union UA Local 290, said he’s heard the same arguments against all energy projects, including solar, wind and hydroelectric.

“I see the same objections and opposition to those same projects that everyone here says are our viable alternative to using LNG,” Coplin said of town halls he’s attended over the years.

ATTORNEY

Continued from A1 A fter getting her law degree from Tulane University, Jacquot moved back to the Oregon Coast where she began working for a private law firm in Roseburg.

Shortly after, she met Fred, and the two married.

J acquot worked as a c riminal and juvenile d efense attorney, and in 2 005 she opened up her own law firm, which primarily focused on juvenile defense.

In 2011, Jacquot started w orking as a municipal court judge for the city of Reedsport. Jeanne Plagm ann, municipal court clerk, said Jacquot has been a nice change to what the city has been used to when it comes to judges. “ She’s a very fairminded judge,” Plagmann s aid. “It’s nice having a judge who is also an attorney, whereas a judge we had here for many years wasn’t an attorney.”

For Jacquot, another part of her life that she dedicates time to is the North Bend School District.

Jacquot has served for several years on the North Bend school board, and she said her time on the board has been amazing, but after her term ends next year, she

won’t be able to continue.

S ince Jacquot is running for a seat on the Coos County Circuit Court, she will not be allowed to run f or a seat on the school board.

Deb Reid, a school board member, said Jacquot has given so much to the community of North Bend, and her legal background that she has brought to the table has been a huge help. “ She is one of those board members who is a huge wow factor,” Reid said.

“I can’t quite imagine the board without her.”

Reid said Jacquot cares so much for the youth of the community, and Jacquot goes to great lengths to serve them. “ This is a very busy woman,” Reid said.

J acquot said if she is elected to a seat on the circuit court, she still plans on being a part of the schools in North Bend as she will m ove over to a position in the North Bend School Foundation.

One of the biggest timec onsuming aspects of Jacquot’s life is the work s he does as a juvenile defense attorney in Coos County. If Jacquot chooses to take on a case, it usually has to do with juvenile issues.

J acquot is frequently writing briefs and traveling

up to Salem to argue juven ile and adoption cases i n front of the Court of Appeals.

J acquot has been e xtremely dedicated to h elping the youth of the community.

“It’s been almost every a rea of my life, working w ith kids,” Jacquot said. “ I’m pretty passionate about it.”

Unlike some attorneys in the area, Jacquot sets up payment plans for clients who cannot afford to pay off their attorney bills. Jacquot said she is always trying to do anything she can to help keep the youth out of trouble.

“I actually had a client w ho it took about three years to pay off a bill,” Jacquot said.

W ith all the work she does, Jacquot said the most important aspect of what she does when it comes to serving the community is protecting the rights of the people.

“I take that part pretty seriously,” Jacquot said. “I try to do a really good job o f safeguarding people’s rights.” ​ eporter Kurtis Hair can be R reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 240, or by email at kurtis.hair@theworldlink. com. Follow him on Twitter: @KurtisHair.

Heisman finalists include Mariota, Cooper and Gordon RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press‌

‌ EW YORK (AP) — The N Heisman Trophy finalists would make one heck of an offense.

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Alabama receiver Amari Cooper and record-breaking Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon are set to make the trip to New York for the Heisman presentation after the finalists were announced on Monday.

Mariota is considered the clear the front-runner to win the 80th Heisman

on Saturday night in New York. He would become the first Oregon player to earn college football’s most famous player of the year trophy.

“It is humbling to be considered for an award that I have admired for a very long time,” Mariota said in a statement.

“I would like to thank my teammates and coaches as I could not have been recognized as a finalist without their help.”

Mariota and the second-seeded Ducks will face Florida State and last year’s Heisman winner

Jameis Winston at the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinals on Jan. 1.

Cooper helped Alabama earn the top seed in the playoff. The Crimson Tide plays Ohio State at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Winston becomes the seventh player since 2003 to take a shot at a Heisman repeat and come up short.

Ohio State’s Archie Griffin is the only player to win two Heismans.

Finalists are determined See Heisman, B2

Packers hold on for home win The Associated Press‌

‌GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Eddie Lacy and Aaron Rodgers powered the Green Bay Packers to another big first half in a home victory.

But the Atlanta Falcons’ furious late rally provided the Packers’ potential playoff foes some hope.

Maybe Lambeau Field won’t be that impenetrable after all in the postseason.

Lacy ran for a touchdown and caught one of Rodgers’ three TD passes, and Green Bay built a 24-point halftime lead before holding on for a 43-37 victory Monday night.

The Packers (10-3) earned their fifth consecutive victory to stay a game up on Detroit in the NFC North. They remained tied with Arizona for the NFC’s best record.

“There’s been some ups and downs on both sides of the ball all season,” Rodgers said. “But we’re really getting this homefield advantage thing going, with the crowd noise, with the footing, with the way we’re playing being really balanced on offense.”

Rodgers acknowledged there may have been a “slight relaxation” at halftime up 24.

What matters most in the end to Green Bay is that it held on for a victory, even though this win didn’t go quite according to the script the Packers had written earlier this year against NFC foes.

“Defensively, a tale of two halves. You have to give Atlanta’s offense a lot of credit,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We have plenty to clean up.”

The Falcons dropped to 5-8, but remained in a first-place tie with New Orleans in the woeful NFC South.

Julio Jones had a career-best 259 yards receiving for the Falcons before leaving with a hip injury. Jones had a 22-yard touchdown catch in a 20-point fourth quarter that helped Atlanta cut into Green Bay’s big lead.

Matt Ryan’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Harry Douglas with 2:15 left got Atlanta within six.

But the Packers recovered the ensuing onside kick, and backup running back James Starks effectively ended Atlanta’s upset hopes with a 41-yard run to the Falcons 6 with 1:37 left.

The Falcons had won three of four coming into the game. They haven’t lost hope that they can still make the playoffs.

“Yeah, absolutely. We scored 37 points tonight. If you can’t believe in that, then you don’t need to be in this locker room, we need to cut some people,” receiver Roddy White said.

Coach Mike Smith said it was difficult to lose Jones late. But the Falcons did damage even with their No. 1 receiver hobbling on the sideline.

Ryan threw for 375 yards and four scores, including a 1-yard touchdown catch by White with 6:20 left that trimmed Green Bay’s lead to 40-30. Jones didn’t come out for Atlanta’s failed 2-point conversion attempt.

“Difficult. There’s probably never a good time for an injury, but that’s part of the game,” Ryan said.

Mason Crosby kicked a 53-yard field goal with 4:37 left, helping the Packers withstand Atlanta’s final punch.

Rodgers finished 24 of 36 for 327 yards.

Lacy had 73 yards on 13 carries, and 33 yards on five catches.

The tough running back wiggled from side to side to celebrate his 1-yard touchdown reception with 4:20 left in the second quarter. The score was set up by safety Morgan Burnett’s interception.

Later, Rodgers sidestepped his way out of a late blitz by Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann and found Jordy Nelson in the back of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds left in the half.

Rodgers and Nelson connected on a 60-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

Nelson finished with eight catches for 146 yards.

Jones was even better, catching 11 of the 17 passes thrown in his direction. His 79-yard catch-and-run to the Packers 3 on the first play of the third quarter set up a 5-yard touchdown catch by Eric Weems on fourth down.

It was a sign of things to come in the second half before Green Bay was able to hang on at the end.

“We can’t play one half or three quarters or anything like that,” linebacker Julius Peppers said. “We’ve got to finish games.”

NOTES: Lacy was pulled in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. He said he thought he would be OK, though he was sidelined as a precaution.

Asked when the injury occurred, Lacy joked, “Whenever I ran into the two big dudes.” ... Starks finished with 75 yards on 10 carries. ... McCarthy tied Vince Lombardi with 98 career victories, second on the franchise list behind Curly Lambeau (209). ... S Dwight Lowery had a team-high 13 tackles and a forced fumble for Atlanta.

‌POWERS — The Powers boys basketball team continued a strong start to the season, beating its second straight larger school by topping visiting Reedsport 57-49 Monday.

The final score was closer than the lead the Cruisers had most of the game. A 15-0 run bridging the first two quarters and a 10-0 run near the end of the third helped Powers stay in front, at one point by 20 early in the fourth quarter, before Reedsport used a furious rally to cut the lead to six with 22 seconds to go on a rebound hoop by Tyler Tresch.

Following a timeout, Powers effectively played keep-away until there were only six seconds to go and Tye Jackson hit a pair of free throws to secure the win.

The foul shots were Jackson’s only points of the second half after he helped the Cruisers build their big lead in the first half with pure outside shooting and nifty passing.

The senior said free throws “are something I’m comfortable with.”

Jackson led the Cruisers with 13 points, including a trio of first half 3-pointers, and added seven assists and five rebounds.

He and Austin Stallard combined to go 5-for-5 from beyond the arc in the opening two quarters.

“We feed off each other well,” Jackson said. “It’s good to spread the floor. It gives the inside guys some space because they have to respect the outside (shooting).”

Stallard and his cousin Jackson both finished with 12 points and Devin MacKensen had nine points and 14 rebounds.

The combined 19 points

by Austin Stallard and Jackson in the first half were crucial because Jackson Stallard, the team’s leading scorer, was on the bench nearly the entire time in foul trouble.

“It was good for us as a team to realize that if we play together, we don’t need someone to carry us,” Tye Jackson said.

Powers coach Ted Stallard said he was happy with the effort of his team.

“I thought we kept the tempo up the whole time,” he said. “That’s a focus of ours, but to keep it controlled.”

The Cruisers got a little sloppy under Reedsport’s pressure in the final few minutes, and finished with 27 turnovers.

That was the goal of Reedsport coach Dan Kenagy, who also likes his team to push the pace.

“My idea was to press them the whole game and the fourth quarter hopefully they would get tired,” Kenagy said.

Ideally, though, the Braves wouldn’t have dug quite as big a hole, he added.

Joe Hixenbaugh had six of Reedsport’s 14 steals and Tresch was huge in the final quarter and finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds. He went 9-for-9 See Powers, B2

Kinyon leads Cruisers to win JOHN GUNTHER The World‌

‌P OWERS — Kendall Kinyon spent the 2013-14 season as the scorekeeper for Powers, her sophomore basketball season cut short before it started because of a knee injury.

“I missed it so much,” Kinyon said Monday night.

“It’s so good to be out there with my team.”

The Cruisers are thrilled she’s healthy, too. Kinyon hit a trio of 3-pointers during a second-quarter outburst by Powers in a 42-20 win over visiting Reedsport, the first win of the new season for the Cruisers.

The teams were tied 6-all through one quarter, but Powers scored the first 17 points of the second quarter to build a huge lead

and cruised to the win.

Kinyon scored all six of the Cruisers’ first-quarter points and then hit the three long-range shots in the second, eventually finishing with a game-high 18 points.

It was a big improvement from the team’s season-opening loss at Gold Beach on Friday.

“I was nervous at first,” she said. “When I got

back out there, it felt like home.”

E l i z a b e t h S ta n d l e y added 13 points for the Cruisers, several off good passes from Kinyon, and Riley Middlebrook added six.

Cavs win in front of royal couple ‌NEW YORK — LeBron James and the Cleveland C avaliers turned a close g ame into a clinic after B ritain’s Prince William and his wife, Kate, grabbed courtside seats to watch them, beating the Brooklyn Nets 110-88 on Monday night.

Kevin Love was shooting free throws when the royal couple emerged from a tunnel with 7:14 remaini ng in the third quarter.

Perhaps distracted by the loud roar, Love missed the second, leaving the game tied at 61.

But James, putting on a show that few others could, threw some sharp passes to go with his nine points in the period and the Cavs cruised from there to their seventh straight victory.

James finished with 18 points.

Eagles face another big game with Dallas ‌PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A convincing rout at Dallas had the Philadelphia Eagles thinking about a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Now, they have to beat the Cowboys again just to have a chance to get in.

The Seattle Seahawks gave the Eagles and their fans a harsh reality check on Sunday in a dominant 24-14 win at Lincoln Financial Field. The defending Super Bowl champions are still one of the elite teams in the NFC along with Green Bay (9-3) and Arizona (10-3).

One thing all three of those teams have in common: Wins over the Eagles (9-4).

“When we have lost, we’ve lost to some really good teams,” coach Chip Kelly said Monday. “It’s not lack of effort or lack of attention to detail. This

team trains very well and they’re real professional in their approach. In this league, anything can happen.”

Considering the Eagles would lose tiebreakers to the Packers, Cardinals and Seahawks, their hopes of earning a bye are slim. If they don’t beat Dallas (9-4) this week, they might not even get a wild-card berth because they would also lose a tiebreaker to Detroit (9-4).

T h a t’s wh y p l aye rs and coaches were quick to move past the loss to Seattle and focus on the Cowboys. The Eagles won 33-10 in Dallas on Thanksg iv i n g . T h e C owb oys rebounded with a 41-28 win at Chicago on Thursday and have a few extra days of rest to prepare for the rematch.

“The most important thing is just to get past

down the stretch are so important. Big picture is too far out in front of us.

We really just need to focus on what is right in front of our nose and that’s getting this bad taste out of our mouth and going out and playing Dallas and giving our best effort.”

Sanchez and the rest of the offense were completely shut down by Seattle’s “Legion of Boom” defense. The Eagles were held to just 139 total yards, fewest under Kelly. They had the ball for only 18 minutes.

“We will get back to the drawing boards, we will get back to practice, we will train and preThe Associated Press‌ pare hard,” running back Philadelphia quarterback Mark Sanchez looks to pass under heavy LeSean McCoy said. “It is a pressure from Seattle’s defense during the second half Sunday. big, big game, a must-win type of game. And there is this one, to watch the film quarterback Mark Sanchez nothing better than having them (Dallas) here, in and move on and get ready said. for another huge game,” “All of these games Philly.”

Some of the Seahawks weren’t too impressed with the Eagles. Defensive end Michael Bennett said Sanchez is impersonating a good quarterback.

Safety Earl Thomas said he expected the defense to dominate Philadelphia.

Cornerback Richard Sherman said the Eagles still miss DeSean Jackson, who was cut in March.

The teams could end up playing again in Philadelphia in the first round if the Eagles win the East and the Seahawks don’t catch the Cardinals and get in the playoffs as the No. 6 seed.

“They have great players across the board,” rookie wideout Jordan Matthews said. “But at the same time, we have strong personnel on offense. We have a lot of weapons. We just have to go out there and play better.”

Timbers pick up veteran Borchers from Real Salt Lake ‌PORTLAND (AP) — The Timbers have acquired veteran defender Nat Borchers from Real Salt Lake, one of a flurry of moves Monday for Portland’s Major League Soccer team.

Portland sent allocation money to Salt Lake in exchange for the 33-yearold Borchers, who has

started for RSL for the past seven seasons and was a key contributor to the 2009 MLS Cup-winning team.

The T imbers traded defender Michael Harr i n g to n to t h e C o l o rado Rapids for allocation money. An eight-year MLS veteran, Harrington appeared in 25 matches last

season with two assists.

Portland signed several players including Ghanaian goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey from the Norwegian Premier League, Colombian winger/forward Dairon Asprilla, and Brazilian defender Jeanderson Salvador Pereira.

The team also exercised

the purchase option on defender Alvas Powell from his Jamaican club and signed him to a long-term deal.

The moves were made in the league’s half-day trade window on Monday. Coach Caleb Porter and general manager Gavin Wilkinson were scheduled to address

the moves Tuesday.

The Timbers also exercised the 2015 contract options on midfielders George Fochive, Michael Nanchoff, Rodney Wallace and Ben Zemanski, defender Taylor Peay and goalkeepers Jake Gleeson and Andrew Weber.

The team re-signed

defender Jorge Villafana, who was out of contract.

The team is continuing contract talks with forward Gaston Fernandez.

The Timbers declined the options on midfielders Kalif Alhassan and Steven Evans, and defenders Bryan Gallego and Pa Modou Kah.

Rosa didn’t think it was fair that she had to give up her seat because she was African-American, and she didn’t want to be treated unfairly any longer. She said, “No.” Rosa Parks was arrested and jailed for not giving up her seat.

Pancake that has it all — bacon, apple and sugar

WHITE’S WINES

Becker bets on honesty ‌By David White

J.M. HIRSCH

“No one needs a new wine brand,” explained Craig Becker, a veteran Napa Valley winegrower, over breakfast one recent morning.

We were discussing the market for expensive Cabernet Sauvignon. Even though Napa Valley produces less wine than most people realize — it accounts for just 4 percent of California’s yield — the region produces plenty of high-end offerings.

Napa Valley is home to more than 500 wineries, and the average price for a bottle of “Napa Cab” shipped directly to consumers exceeds $80.

Yet Becker is betting that one of his latest projects, Priest Ranch, will thrive. His blueprint is simple — it relies on good grapes and honesty. Considering Becker’s track record, his plan will almost certainly succeed.

Becker grew up in Southern California and always loved the outdoors. When it came time for college, he headed north, mainly in search of great mountain biking. After a stint at a junior college in Santa Rosa, Becker enrolled at the University of California, Davis, to study soil science and plant physiology.

In 1996, during his final year at school, Becker landed a harvest internship at Robert Mondavi Winery. He stayed on through graduation, and the next year, he was hired as the assistant winemaker at Spring Mountain Vineyard, one of Napa Valley’s most historic properties. At the conclusion of harvest, however, Spring Mountain’s head winemaker departed to launch his own brand. So even though

‌Like Thanksgiving, Christmas is one of those holidays that requires aroma.

On Thanksgiving, we need the house to smell of turkey and stuffing and sweet potatoes. On Christmas, we need whiffs of indulgent breakfast items, like cinnamon rolls or a bubbling fruit crisp. Or maybe you prefer hash browns and bacon. Those get the job done nicely, too.

This year I wanted both sweet and savory, so I created this baked pancake inspired by an upside down cake. For ease, it can partially prepped the night before.

To do that, just make the batter as directed in a blender, then refrigerate it overnight in the blender carafe. In the morning, just give it a quick whir to freshen it, then you’re ready to assemble the pancake.

And that’s when things get good. You start by frying bacon in a skillet. Once the bacon is crisp, you top it with a layer of thinly sliced apples. Give those a couple minutes to soften, then you add a hefty sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Finally, you pour on the batter and pop the whole thing in the oven to finish.

When it’s done, you overturn the pancake onto a serving platter and cut it into wedges. You may not need to, but there’s no harm in dousing the whole thing with maple syrup.

‌Gingerbread is such an iconic flavor — and aroma — of Christmas, yet it can be a letdown as a dessert for the big day.

It’s mostly because a gingerbread — no matter how delicious — is kind of simple for such a day of big celebrations.

So we decided to jazz it up a bit, turning your basic gingerbread into a far more festive trifle layered with a rich vanilla pudding and orangeblack pepper caramel. For ease, this impressive dessert can be prepped a day ahead. And if you’re hitting the road at the holiday, it also travels very well.

Co-owner of Ardent Craft Ales, Kevin O’Leary, takes a sample of Persimmon beer at the facility in Richmond, VA.

Virginia brewery taps 300-year-old beer MICHAEL FELBERBAUM The Associated Press‌

‌R I C H M O N D, Va . — What do you get when you combine water, American persimmons and hops and ferment it with yeast? A beer based on a 300-yearold recipe scribbled in a cookbook kept by Virginia’s prominent Randolph family.

Ardent Craft Ales in Richmond recently brewed “Jane’s Percimon Beer” unearthed from the book in the Virginia Historical Society’s collections from the 1700s that contains food, medicinal remedies and beer recipes. The formula for the Colonial-era concoction is one of thousands of alcoholic recipes in the society’s collection that provide a glimpse into what Virginians and others were drinking in the 18th century and other points in history. “ Yo u c a n f e e l a

In a blender, combine the milk, egg, oil and vanilla.

Blender until smooth. With the blender running on low, sprinkle in the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stop blending as soon as the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Use an apple corer or melon baller to core the apple, but leave the fruit intact. Set the apple on its side, then cut it into thin round slices. Set aside.

connection across time wh e n yo u ’re d r i n k i n g something that maybe hasn’t been drunk for a couple hundred years,” said Paul Levengood, president and CEO of the Virginia Historical Society, a privately funded nonprofit that collects, preserves and interprets the state’s history. “It’s a fun way to bring the past into the present.”

As one would expect, the process of brewing the beer was dramatically different from the techniques and equipment used in modern-day brewing. Where current recipes include very specific instructions on the amount of ingredients and timing, the handwritten formula of just a few short sentences contains no detailed instructions or quantities. The first trial run using about 17 pounds of persimmons yielded only three gallons of beer.

Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then sprinkle the mixture over the apples.

Carefully and evenly pour the pancake batter over the apples and bacon. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Let the pancake cool for 5 minutes. Use a paring knife to loosen the edges of the pancake, then overturn a large serving plate over the skillet. Invert the skillet to release the pancake onto the plate. Cut into wedges.

Becker was just 23, he was put in charge.

Fo r t u n a te ly, S p r i n g Mountain Vineyard had two of the wine industry’s smartest consultants on retainer — Daniel Roberts, an accomplished soil scientist, and David Ramey, a legendary vintner. Becker credits both for his obsession with quality fruit.

“Everyone says this, but it’s all about the grapes,” Becker explained. Thanks to Ramey, Becker learned that with good fruit, he could ignore much of what he learned in college and instead rely on ancient winemaking techniques.

Becker began to see himself as a grower first and a

winemaker second.

“Viticulture is the art of bonsai,” he continued, sharing one particular lesson. “You shrink a weed, over and over again, to see if you can get it to produce great wine.”

Many people began taking notice of Becker’s work.

In 1999, he decided to take on a few other projects as a consultant. Within five years, he had accumulated nearly a dozen clients, helped launch several wine projects, and created his own brand, Highflyer.

In 2004, Becker visited Priest Ranch — a 638-acre property in the eastern mountains of Napa Valley — to source Grenache for Highflyer. He fell in love with Priest Ranch’s fruit and became fast friends with the owner, Allan Chapman. The following year, Chapman purchased an adjoining 990-acre property and hired Becker

Zest of 1 orange For the trifle: 1 cup heavy cream 1 loaf (about 1 1/2 pounds) purchased or homemade gingerbread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized (candied) ginger

In a medium saucepan over medium, heat the milk until scalded (bring it just to the boiling point), then remove from the heat. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrap the seeds into the milk.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the eggs and beat until completely smooth and no trace of egg lumps or sugar remains.

When the milk is scalded, while whisking the egg mixture, pour half of the hot milk in a thin stream into the bowl. Pour the egg-milk mixture back into the saucepan of remaining milk.

Return the mixture to

vinegar

Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Set a roasting rack into a large roasting pan.

Trim the surface layer of fat on the top side of the roast until just 1/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, score the remaining fat layer in a crisscross pattern, cutting down to, but not into, the meat. Season the roast all over with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet over high, heat the oil. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the roast and brown on all sides except the bone side. Transfer the roast, fat side up, to the prepared roasting pan. Roast on the oven’s middle shelf until the center of the meat reaches 115 degrees to 120 degrees for rare and 120 to 125 degrees for medium rare, about 3 hours. Transfer the roast to a platter and cover loosely with foil.

Let stand for 20 minutes before carving.

While the roast rests, prepare the bearnaise.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine

the shallots, wine, vinegar, salt, pepper and tarragon. Bring to a simmer and gently cook until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a medium metal bowl, pressing hard on the solids. Discard the solids.

Add the egg yolks to t h e l i q u i d a n d wh i s k until combined well. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (the water should not be touching the bottom of the bowl) and whisk constantly until the mixture feels quite warm to the touch (do not let it get too hot or the eggs will scramble). Immediately start adding the butter several pieces at a time, whisking until the pieces are almost melted before adding the next piece.

When all the butter is added remove the bowl from the saucepan. Whisk in the fresh tarragon, lemon juice and some of the meat juices that have accumulated on the platter, if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the meat and serve each portion topped with bearnaise sauce.

to make some wine. Their families also hit it off, so in 2008, Becker and Chapman formally merged their brands.

Today, Priest Ranch produces about 10,000 cases of wine, a quarter of which is Cabernet Sauvignon.

Becker hopes to double Priest Ranch’s output over the next decade. Considering the market’s reception of his wines thus far, that goal seems reasonable.

“My message to wine buyers is, ‘you can trust Priest Ranch,” Becker explained. “We’ll always use estate fruit, so we’ll always deliver value when you consider the quality and price.”

With this declaration, Becker was not so subtly criticizing the many brands that have sacrificed quality to keep up with demand. With 215 acres under vine — and plenty of room to grow — Priest

Ranch will never have to look outside its own estate for fruit.

“We’re focusing on trust,” Becker continued.

“In a world of so many choices, that’s what will lead to brand recognition and loyalty from buyers.”

Becker’s price point is also smart. Priest Ranch’s Cabernet retails for $42, so on restaurant wine lists, sommeliers can easily offer the wine for under $100.

Becker just finished his 18th harvest. Success breeds success, so his optimism about Priest R a n c h i s n ’t s u r p r i s ing. What is surprising, though, is just how obvious his plan seems.

Return the pudding to the bowl and whisk in the butter. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until chilled.

Meanwhile, make the caramel. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, cream, salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the orange zest, then set aside and cool to room temperature.

When the pudding and caramel have cooled, prepare to assemble the trifle.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream to medium peaks,

about 3 to 5 minutes. Divide the chilled pudding in three portions, then gently fold the whipped cream into one of the portions of the pudding.

Arrange a third of the gingerbread cubes in an even layer in the bottom of a trifle dish. Drizzle with a third of the caramel sauce, then sprinkle a third of the chopped ginger over that.

Spread one of the plain pudding thirds (not the batch mixed with cream) ove r t h e g i n ge r, t h e n repeat the layering with the remaining ingredients.

‌ e re ’s m y h o l i d a y H conundrum, and I bet you can relate: I am in charge of this year’s holiday meal, which will feature a big standing rib roast.

Everyone in my fam ily wants their meat rare, but I want the outside to be nicely seared. How to have both?

Cooking a big roast at high heat can get you that nice crisp outer crust, but it comes at a price. Cooking a roast at high heat for even part of the time generally means you end up with just a small core of rare meat running down the center of the roast.

Luckily, the fix is easy.

Instead of roasting the meat at high heat for any amount of time, I briefly sear the roast on the stovetop before it goes in the oven. Then it is hands off time while the beef slowly comes up to whatever internal temperature you want in a 200 F oven.

That’s it. Perfect outside, perfect inside.

You’ll want to make sure your oven is well calibrated and that you have a proper instant thermometer. And don’t forget to let the roast rest after you have cooked it so the juices have time to re-distribute, ensuring juicy meat.

When shopping for your roast, ask for a partial rack of bones, three

to four bones from the loin end, also referred to as the small end or the first cut. This half of the rack has less fat and more meat than the shoulder side of the roast. Also, ask the butcher to remove the chine bone, which allows you to cut between the ribs when the roast is done.

I like to serve my roast with a rich bearnaise sauce. It is the holidays, after all. Make the reduction for the sauce while the roast is in the oven, then finish it while the meat rests. I like to use both dry and fresh tarragon for my bearnaise for a more intense tarragon hit.

I put the dry stuff in the reduction, then strain it out and finish with fresh.

great gifts, fun!

Winston Churchill said, “True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous and conflicting information.”

That sums up bidding a bridge hand rather well. It is not just a matter of counting high-card points. If you find a fit with partner, you should also include short-suit points (or, even better in my opinion, apply the Losing Trick Count).

Look at the East hand. South opens one diamond, West makes an aggressive takeout double, and North

passes. What should East do?

Assuming he is unable to bid in no-trump, an unpassed hand usually makes one of these advances: nonjump in a suit, 0-8 points; single jump in a suit, 9-11; cue-bid of opener’s suit, 12-plus. However, these numbers should include short-suit points when at least an eight-card fit is known. So, even if East discounts the diamond queen, his hand is worth 13 points: 10 high-card points and three for the singleton diamond. This means that East should cue-bid two diamonds.

South would rebid two hearts, West would double or pass, North would correct back to three diamonds, and now East can jump to four spades.

If South sacrifices in five diamonds, West should double and collect 500.

Four spades makes easily, losing one spade, one heart and one diamond.

At the table, East only jumped to two spades.

South rebid three diamonds, East competed with three spades, South — not reading the vibes correctly — went to four diamonds, and, luckily for him, all passed. Down one was a great result.
