COOS BAY — More students are filing in to the younger grades, pushing Coos Bay school administrators to plan their buildings and staffing levels for bigger classes as those kids move up through the schools. It’s a 180-degree turn from years of declining enrollment on the South Coast. “We watched for years as enrollment was declining,” said Coos Bay School District business manager Rod Danielson at the school board’s meeting last week. “It impacted the elementaries and intermediate schools and the high school dropped from 1,200 to 800 kids.

To see how many kids are filling Coos Bay’s schools this fall, go to theworldlink.com.

The same thing is happening with these kids and large classes. As they work their way through, there’s going to have to be some adjustments in staffing at the middle schools and high schools.” Today, Blossom Gulch and Madison elementary schools are at capacity. Nearly every elementary class started this school year with more students than officials predicted, which means the class size debate isn’t dying anytime soon. Danielson talked numbers with the school board and pointed out a

The problem that we see is not only that, but we also have building capacity problems,” Danielson said. “Down the road what we have to keep in mind is if we have another huge class of kindergartners coming in next year, we’ll have the three biggest classes in K-1 and 2. I’m not sure if there’ll be room to actually house all those students.” School board member Rocky Place said planning needs to start immediately. SEE ENROLLMENT | A8

21 month sentence in drug ring case

Grinding out a win

broaden the definition of consumer credit so that more loans would fall under the provisions of the 2006 law. Final rules likely won’t take effect until next year; the public and interest groups have 60 days to comment on the plan. Currently, transactions covered by the 36 percent cap on interest are limited to payday loans of $2,000 or less with terms of no more than 91 days, loans that are secured by a personal vehicle with terms of no more than 181 days, and tax refund anticipation loans. But the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Pentagon have found that in some cases lenders slightly altered the loans, adding $1 to the loan or one day to the terms to bypass the interest cap. In testimony to the Senate Commerce Committee last year, Holly Petraeus, the head of the

COQUILLE — Court documents filed in the case of a Coos County man sentenced to prison as part of a methamphetamine distribution ring this week paint a picture of Oregon’s modern drug trafficking scene. After being found guilty in a one-day bench trial Thursday, Randy Neal Rossback was sentenced to 21 months in prison for unlawful delivery and possession of meth and being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team, the events leading to Rossback's arrest began Jan. 15, when a Reedsport police officer stopped a car driven by Sergio Llamas-Fernandez of Washington. In an application for a search warrant for Rossback’s Green Acres home, SCINT Detective Byron Spini wrote that the officer spotted a meth pipe when LlamasFernandez opened the car’s center console. When the officer searched the car, he found two 1-gallon sized plastic freezer bags of meth in a cooler. The drugs weighed out at 3.8 pounds. When interviewed by detectives from SCINT, the Douglas County Interagency Narcotics Team and Oregon State Police, both LlamasFernandez and his passenger, Ashley Dawn Gomez, said that the meth was bound for Rossback, and that they had previously traveled to his home on Upper Loop Road in December to broker a deal. Gomez told police she and Llamas-Fernandez had expected to net roughly $9,500 a pound for the drugs, which they were transporting from Vancouver. According to the affidavit, the suspects’ story was consistent with recent trends in Oregon’s drug scene. Since the Legislature restricted sales of psuedoephedrine in 2006, it’s been difficult for meth labs to

WASHINGTON — A measure of U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest level since July 2013, led by greater optimism that the economy will grow and incomes will rise. The University of Michigan said Friday that its index of consumer sentiment rose to 84.6 in September from 82.5 in August. That’s the second highest level in the past seven years, although the index has rarely topped 85 since the Great Recession. Before the downturn, it typically stood above 90. Still, the sunnier outlook could spur consumers to spend more, which would accelerate economic growth. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. But spending growth has been subdued since the recession ended in 2009,

averaging at an annual rate of 2 percent. It usually rises above 3 percent in a healthy economy. Other measures also indicate that consumers’ outlook is brightening. The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index increased to a seven-year high last month. A big reason Americans have been spending less is that their paychecks have barely kept up with inflation over the past five years. Consumers are now starting to anticipate larger raises: More households expect their incomes to rise in the coming year than at any other time in the past six years. The typical household expects its incomes to increase 1.1 percent, the most since late 2008, the Michigan survey found. More optimism about wage gains could also drive more spending.

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER

BY JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Aiming to restrict lenders who prey on members of the military, the Obama administration on Friday moved to close legal loopholes that have placed hundreds of thousands of service members at risk of excessive payday and other short-term loan fees. The Defense Department proposed new rules to toughen a 2006 law that limits interest rates for certain types of credit available to service members and their dependents. Under current law, lenders cannot charge members of the military more than 36 percent interest. But the loans covered by the law are so narrowly defined that lenders, many of them located near military bases, can make simple adjustments to get around its provisions. The proposed rules would

Home Rule Charter not the answer Our view While Coos County needs a revamping of its governmental structure, the ballot box isn’t the way to go.

What do you think? The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Coos County voters this November will again be asked to approve a new home rule charter for the county and drastically change the governance of the county. With the sincerest of respect for the proponents of this measure, we urge you to reject it and vote no. To be clear, we don’t necessarily disagree with critics of the present governance structure of three full-time county commissioners supervising some two dozen departments. Indeed, two committees created years ago to evaluate our current system recommended a long list of changes, including hiring a professional administrator and creating a

five-member commission that represented geographic sub-regions. And quite frankly, we’ve always believed that the current structure asks too much of any of the three elected commissioners, no matter how diligently they pursue their appointed duties. But even with all the flaws of the county’s current governance structure, the “Voice of the Voters” Coos County Home Rule Charter is not the answer. And some of its key points are the reason why. One point calls for election of the human resources director. We can see no justification for hiring what is basically an administrative

position. The charter also calls for a public vote on a plethora of county business, from any public contract or capital program involving $165,000 or more to property tax exemptions to urban renewal agencies. That’s an unrealistic level of public participation. It might work well for a community or neighborhood council; it would be unwieldy and potentially divisive in a county with issues as diverse as Powers is from Bandon. And the charter would prohibit hiring of a county manager or administrator. Why is that even necessary? The most unfortunate aspect of this topic is what

happened to the recommendations of the committees assigned to study the county governance issue — virtually nothing. Nothing substantial ever happened with any of their recommendations. That, too, is an unfortunate outcome that occurs all too often — the diligence and deliberations of hard-working committees ending up collecting dust on shelves. So, while we’re urging a no vote on the Home Rule Charter, we also call on the county commissioners to resolve the overarching issues the measure attempts to address. Coos County needs serious restructuring of its current governing system.

DuneFest keeps on giving Besides providing a good time kicking up sand, this year’s DuneFest auction raised more than $24,000 for local charities and nonprofits that were presented by the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce last week. Coastal Douglas Arts and Business Alliance, Christmas in July, Dial-A-Ride and the Gardiner Fire Department were among 33 groups who got some extra love this year. Gotta love festivals that keep on giving long after the party’s over.

In fact, the atmosphere of tradition and pride will be so palpable,you may become a Pirate by osmosis. Find out from 2-4 p.m. during the opening ceremony at the gymnasium. Tons of photos and other memorabilia will be on display. If you’re an alum, doubtless you’ll run into old friends (or flames!).

Duck and cover The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is opening an additional 286 acres of the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge to waterfowl hunting starting next Saturday, Oct. 4. It’s restored tidal marsh on the Ni-les’tun Unit, east of U.S. Highway 101. Now, for hunters this should be thumbs up.But if you’re a duck or a goose, you gotta be saying, “Hey, wait a minute — thumbs down!”

Toke tax Story out of Medford this week that its city council is considering enacting a tax on marijuana just in case voters make it legal in Oregon in this November’s election. Talk about jumping the gun.The city’s attorney said approval now would put the burg in a better legal position if the tax is in place before legalization. Can they even do that? You know what’ll come out of this: if pot becomes legal, more folks will just grow their own to avoid the tax.

Letters to the Editor Why Coos County needs the Charter Why do Coos County citizens need and deserve this “Voice Of The Voters” Home Rule Charter? This great nation was built on a constitutional republic form of government. This means we were given a government where we elect our representatives and they have checks and balances. Our federal and state governments both have three parts to provide representation and checks and balances: a House and Senate, a president or governor, and the judiciary branch. Additionally, we have federal and state constitutions which give rather specific guidelines and limits to the power of the government

to dominate and control the citizens. Also, there is generally some national and/or state coverage on TV, radio, in multiple newspapers, on talk shows, etc. At present Coos County is a “general law county,” with three elected commissioners. This means your commissioners can, with an “aye” vote of only two people, control the county funds, indebtedness, selling and buying of assets, increase their salaries, delegate their authority, etc. The only limit of their power over the county (not cities) is if there happens to be a specific Oregon Revised Statute regulating the issue. There are practically no checks and balances or reviews and very little required notification of their actions, before or after, to the citizens.

With this complete power over county issues they have additionally put forth rules allowing themselves to vote on issues outside of standard Board of Commissioners meetings,plus set rules which deny citizens the right to ask questions or make comments on most issues. Coos County deserves and needs this nonpartisan “Voice of the Voters” Home Rule Charter (constitution) which gives the citizens control over major expenditures not included in the budget (remember $165,000 X 3 = almost a half a million dollars), county land use changes, selling and giving away your county assets, etc., etc. Regardless of your viewpoint,it gives all citizens the right to vote on these issues and

more. Read this “Voice of the Voters” Home Rule Charter, then put it in writing! Vote yes on ballot measure 6149! Jaye Bell Coquille

Our heritage: fire and foreign attack The month of September in South Coast history ■ In September of 1897 there were 72 school districts in Coos County. In 1951 there were 33. In 2014 there are now six school districts in the county. ■ 1884 — With the arrival of so many Scandinavian workers in the lumber, fishing and ship building industries, the first Swedish Lutheran Church was established in Marshfield on Sept. 8. ■ 1936 — Disaster hit Bandon when a fire Sept. 26 wiped out all but 16 of more than 500 buildings in the city. ■ 1942 — Incendiary bombs were dropped on Mt.

Odds of getting dream gift diminish DEAR ABBY: My birthday is in 26 days and my dad just told me he is not going to get me a birthday present. And I really want an iPod Touch for school. I’m in the fifth grade and everyone in my class has an iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone. EXCEPT ME! My mom said she would get me a present, but it will be something small. And unless I can keep my room clean, I won’t have a birthday! I’m turning double digits (10)! Please help! — DESPERATE GIRL IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR DESPERATE: I’ll try, but it may not be the help you’re hoping for. Talk to your parents and ask why they are against you having an iPod Touch. DEAR Not all kids your age have parents who can afford them, and that might be the reason. Show them you are mature JEANNE keeping PHILLIPS by your room clean and doing whatever other chores are assigned to you. If you get an allowance, start saving up and ask them if they would “partner” with you in getting an iPod Touch in the future, after you have saved a certain amount. It’s worth a try, and it just might work. DEAR ABBY: My 20-yearold son is in recovery from substance abuse. He has also dealt with depression over the years. He has informed his therapist, his father and me that his older sisters had sex with him when he was a young child. It was one of the explanations he gave for his depression and substance abuse. I have wanted to talk to his counselor about the situation so that as a family we can talk to his sisters. We could perhaps find out whether what he’s referring to is normal experimentation or something more. We would also be able to ask his sisters if they were abused and acting out as a result of it. It seems incredible that as parents we were oblivious because we thought we were aware of and vigilant about threats to our children. Now our son does not want to discuss this and refuses to see his counselor. We’re afraid pushing him will trigger a relapse on his part, but we are also concerned about whether there might be an issue with his sisters that should be addressed. Should we tell him we’re going to raise it with his sisters? Or should we wait until he’s ready? — WANTS TO DO WHAT’S BEST DEAR WANTS: This news has to have been shocking to you and your husband as parents, but it isn’t time yet for a family discussion because your son may be too fragile. Also, I think professional ethics prevent your son’s therapist from discussing this with you. Issues like this can be complicated, and the facts may never be known. What is most important now is for you to show your son that you love him and care about his emotional health, and while you respect his privacy, it is vital that he help himself move forward. The past cannot be changed, but it is important for his future that he find a professional with whom he CAN talk, if the therapist he has been seeing isn’t helping him. Table any family discussion about this until your son is stronger. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Genetically modified wheat found in Montana WASHINGTON (AP) — Unregulated genetically modified wheat has popped up in a second location in the United States, this time in Montana, the Agriculture Department said Friday. No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming, and the discovery of unapproved varieties can pose a potential threat to U.S. trade with countries that have concerns about genetically modified foods. USDA said Friday that the incident is on a smaller scale than a similar finding in Oregon last year that prompted several Asian countries to temporarily ban U.S. imports. The herbicide-resistant wheat was found on one to three acres in Montana, while the genetically engineered plants found in Oregon were spread over more than 100 acres. And the plants were found at a university research center in Huntley, Montana, where genetically modified wheat was legally tested by seed giant Monsanto 11 years ago. The plants in Oregon were found in a field that had never conducted such tests, prompting questions about

how they got there. The department said it is investigating the discovery of the Montana wheat, which is a different variety than the genetically modified wheat found in Oregon. In a final report also released Friday, USDA said it believes the genetically modified wheat in Oregon was an isolated incident and that there is no evidence of that wheat in commerce.

clash over staff-pay issue BY JONATHAN J. COOPER The Associated Press

SUNRIVER — Meeting his Republican challenger in their first televised debate Friday, Gov. John Kitzhaber forcefully rebutted a charge by state Rep. Dennis Richardson that the governor pays women on his staff less than men. Richardson has been aggressively attacking Kitzhaber over equal pay in online ads and public statements. So when he raised it at the Oregon Association of Broadcasters debate in Sunriver, Kitzhaber was ready. “It just seems to me a little cynical that you would discover equity for women after an 11-year history in the Legislature where very few of your votes actually suggest” a concern about the issue, the governor said. He didn’t provide examples of where he thinks Richardson’s record is lacking. Richardson’s retort: “There you go again. Talking about the past.” Richardson claims Kitzhaber pays women on average 79 percent of what he pays men, citing a news report that acknowledged the data was incomplete. Kitzhaber’s office has released salary data showing that, on average, women on his staff make slightly less than men in some job categories and slightly more in others. “First thing I’ll do as governor is make sure that my office sets an example of equal pay for equal work and equal experience for men and women,” Richardson said. Seeking his fourth term, which he says would be his last, Kitzhaber said he

Neighbor slaying: Man is sentenced to life in prison GRANTS PASS (AP) — A Josephine County man has been sentenced to life in prison for shooting his neighbor in a long-running feud. The sentence imposed Thursday in Grants Pass sets a minimum of 25 years before 65-year-old Donald Easley of Kerby can be considered for release from prison. In a rambling statement in court, Easley repeatedly proclaimed his innocence in the September 2013 shooting of Laron Estes, leading Judge Pat Wolke to note that he was blaming everyone but himself. In 2009, Easley had shot and killed another man who lived on the same property. That case was ruled selfdefense.

STATE D I G E S T

Noose case: Fired worker to get job back PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An arbiter has ordered the state of Oregon to give back a job to an African-American who accused co-workers of throwing “Heil Hitler” salutes and leaving a noose at his workstation. The Oregonian reports state lawyers accused Gene Summerfield of selling drugs at the state liquor agency warehouse where he worked, loan-shark lending to coworkers and threats against them, and conspiring to steal cognac. But arbitrator James Lundberg said the state hadn’t proved any of the charges.

Device found; St. Helens High evacuated ST. HELENS (AP) — Police say a “homemade explosive device” was been found in a student’s locker at St. Helens High School, and the school was evacuated. The youth was arrested. Police described the device as rudimentary.

steered the state through the economic downturn and a severe budget deficit without allowing partisan rancor to paralyze the legislative process. He said the state’s economy is improving, but he needs four more years to ensure all Oregonians are treated equitably. Richardson said Kitzhaber comes up with lofty ideas but fails to follow through and implement the details. Richardson slammed Kitzhaber over the failed Cover Oregon health insurance website, but they largely agreed on how to improve the health care system and deal with a shortage of primary care doctors. Richardson supported Kitzhaber’s vision of improving the health care system by getting providers to work together and hiring workers to help patients keep up with their treatment plan. They differed on raising the minimum wage and requiring employers to provide paid sick leave. Interest groups have signaled they’re likely to make a push on both issues during the 2015 legislative session. Kitzhaber said nobody can live on Oregon’s $9.10-anhour minimum wage, though he wasn’t sure what would be an appropriate level. He said $15 an hour, which some interest groups are advocating, is probably too high. “But I could see it at $11 or so,” Kitzhaber said. Richardson said Oregon already has one of the highest minimum wages in the country, and it’s indexed to inflation. Therefore, he said, the state should focus on making sure there are better jobs for minimum-wage workers to move into.

Western Muslims rally against extremism Mosquito-borne virus rages in Latin America WORLD D I G E S T

BY LORI HINNANT Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — In tweets, in street gatherings and in open letters, moderate Muslims around the world are insisting that Islamic State extremists don’t speak for their religion. Many are also frustrated that anyone might think they do, and a backlash has already begun. This week’s videotaped beheading of a French mountaineer by militants linked to the Islamic State group prompted heartsick fury among Muslims in France and elsewhere in Europe, torn between anger at the atrocities committed in the name of Islam and frustration that they have to defend themselves at all. Herve Gourdel was the fifth Western hostage decapitated in recent weeks by Islamic extremists — this time, the militants said, as revenge for France’s decision to join airstrikes against the Islamic State group. The head of France’s largest mosque called for Muslims to rally Friday in Paris to condemn Gourdel’s slaying and show unity against terrorism, saying Islamic State’s “deadly ideology” had nothing to do with Islam. Within hours of the call, the rector of the Bordeaux mosque, Tareq Oubrou, said French Muslims need not demonstrate in the

The Associated Press

Muslims pay homage to French mountaineer Hervé Gourdel who was beheaded by Islamist militants in Algeria, during a gathering in front of the Paris Grand Mosque, Friday Sept. 26, 2014. The gathering was part of demonstrations by French Muslims against the killings happening in the name of their religion. name of Islam — but should be joined by everyone. “They are doubly affected, because this crime touched one of our countrymen and because this crime was carried out in the name of our religion,” Oubrou told RTL radio. The same debate played out elsewhere. The hashtag campaign #notinmyname — or #pasenmonnom in French — initiated by British Muslims who wanted to show their opposition to extremist violence, spawned

a #MuslimApologies backlash by those who thought the sense of regret was overwrought. Tweets “apologized” for algebra, soap and coffee. “Nowhere does the Quran say other religions or nations must be attacked. Cutting people’s heads off is really the most despicable. If airstrikes can stop these fundamentalist, aggressive ideas from spreading, I am all for it,” said 65-year-old Enes Mustafic. Another congregant, Omer

Jamak, questioned the devotion and even sanity of anyone who thought otherwise. “According to Islam, nobody is allowed to be evil to others. Nobody has the right to do such a thing. I am against everything they do down there like every sane person is,” Jamak said. U.S. Muslim leaders and scholars issued an open letter Wednesday denouncing Islamic State militants point by point, notably on “the killing of innocents” and jihad.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — An excruciating mosquitoborne illness that arrived less than a year ago in the Americas is raging across the region, leaping from the Caribbean to the Central and South American mainland, and infecting more than 1 million people. Some cases have already emerged in the United States. While the disease, called chikungunya, is usually not fatal, the epidemic has overwhelmed hospitals, cut economic productivity and caused its sufferers days of pain and misery. And the count of victims is soaring. In El Salvador, health officials report nearly 30,000 suspected cases, up from 2,300 at the beginning of August, and hospitals are filled with people with the telltale signs of the illness, including joint pain so severe it can be hard to walk. “The pain is unbelievable,” said Catalino Castillo, a 39-year-old seeking treatment at a San Salvador hospital. “It’s been 10 days and it won’t let up.” officials Venezuelan reported at least 1,700 cases as of Friday, and the number is expected to rise. Neighboring Colombia has around 4,800 cases but the health ministry projects there will be nearly 700,000 by early 2015. Brazil has now

recorded its first locally transmitted cases, which are distinct from those involving people who contracted the virus while traveling in an infected area. Hardest hit has been the Dominican Republic, with half the cases reported in the Americas. According to the Pan American Health Organization, chikungunya has spread to at least two dozen countries and territories across the Western Hemisphere since the first case was registered in French St. Martin in late 2013.

Army unit in Mexico killings has history MEXICO CITY (AP) — An army officer and seven soldiers who face disciplinary action for their participation in the killing of 22 people in rural southern Mexico belong to an army battalion with a history of incidents. The Mexican Defense Department said the eight were involved in the June 30 incident in San Pedro Limon, an encounter that the military initially reported as a shootout but that a witness has described as a massacre.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Facing pressure at home to come up with a new strategy for achieving statehood, Palestinian Mahmoud Abbas said Friday he would ask the U.N. Security Council to dictate the ground rules for any talks with Israel, including setting a deadline for an Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian lands. In a speech to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, the Palestinian leader also accused Israel of conducting a “war of genocide” in Gaza, but stopped short of saying he would pursue war crimes charges against Israel. While the Palestinian president spoke forcefully, appearing visibly angry at times, the address was short on specifics. He did not offer his own deadline for an Israeli withdrawal, as some had predicted, nor did he say anything about joining the International Criminal Court as his aides have repeatedly said he is prepared to do. Israel denounced the allegations as “a speech of incitement filled with lies.”

Men, Love Your Wife There is great concern of late about the problem of domestic violence within The National Football League. If nothing else comes of it, at least we are more aware of the problem than we have been. This is not a new issue. It has been a plague within our nation for a number of years. Furthermore, this is certainly not the first incident of abuse within the NFL. What has caused such an uproar is the video of one player striking his wife. We should have been addressing this years ago. The effort to force the resignation of someone because a player did a horrible thing will do no good. No one person (or persons) can control anothers behavior. This issue must be addressed in the home, before the children become adults. God has called husbands to love their wives. Treat them with respect and be a man who treats her as Christ treats the church. Paul illustrates that Christ loved the church and died for her (Ephesians 5). In that context, he calls on husbands to treat their wives the same. Do you? Come worship with us Sunday.

according to Spini’s affidavit. He gave the contact his unnamed partner’s cellphone number. About a day later, Freeman’s contact showed up at the jail with $10,000 in cash. According to the affidavit, a drug detection K-9 alerted police to the odor of narcotics on the bills, which were subsequently seized. When a detective entered the number the contact had been given into the county’s law enforcement database, it came back as belonging to Randy Rossback, who, according to the affidavit, police believed was the source of the illicit funds. Llamas-Fernandez and Gomez both told detectives their dealings with Rossback had been orchestrated by Llamas-Ferndandez’s uncle, Jaime, who was serving a prison sentence in Washington. The proceeds from their

delivery were supposed to be split three ways. In the early morning hours of Jan. 16, members of the Coos County Emergency Team burst Response through the door of Rossback’s home, accompanied by Oregon State Police, sheriff’s County Coos deputies, the Coquille Tribal Police K-9 unit and detectives from both SCINT and DINT. ERT — the county’s interagency SWAT team — draws its ranks from the Sheriff's Office and local police departments and is typically called out to deal with barricaded subjects and serve high-risk warrants. Police had asked for nighttime service of the search warrant because they were worried about the safety of officers and afraid Rossback might destroy evidence if he noticed the delay. Rossback was the only one home when officers entered

the house. Inside, they found more than 70 grams of meth and a backpack containing $21,000 in cash — some of it vacuum sealed — along with marijuana, various drug paraphernalia and a loaded Sig Sauer P239 handgun. Rossback, who has prior convictions for a range of felonies including meth possession, is legally barred from owning firearms. They also found a large amount of collectible coins and jewelry. In addition to the prison sentence, Rossback was ordered to spend 36 months under post-prison supervision when he’s released. Gomez and LlamasFernandez were referred to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution. This is reporter Thomas Moriarty’s final story for The World newspaper.

how lenders use loopholes in the rule to prey on members of the military,” said Richard Cordray, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “They lurk right outside of military bases, offering loans that fall just beyond the parameters of the current rule.” The new rules would still not apply to residential mortgages and credit for personal property purchases, such as a car loan. Moreover, the 36 percent cap would apply to all interest and fees associated with a loan, and creditors would

have to disclose more information about the loan and its terms to military borrowers. In responses to an advance notice of the Pentagon’s proposal last year, financial industry representatives warned that the changes could reduce the availability of short-term credit for service members. “We want to ensure that there are no unintended consequences from this rulemaking that would prevent credit unions, particularly those operating on military installations, from providing the safe con-

sumer friendly products the men and women of the armed services have come to depend on,” Carrie Hunt, senior vice president at the National Association of Federal Credit Unions, said in a statement. The Pentagon estimates that the first-year cost to lenders of complying with the new rules would be $96 million, but officials said that figure would be exceeded by the potential savings from reducing the number of service members who leave the military due to financial distress.

Nation Man beheads woman at Okla. plant OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man fired from an Oklahoma food processing plant beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday. Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said police are waiting until Alton Nolen, 30, is conscious to arrest him in Thursday’s attack and have asked the FBI to help investigate after co-workers at Vaughan Foods in the south Oklahoma City suburb told authorities that he recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam. Nolen severed the head of Colleen Hufford, 54, Lewis said. “Yes, she was beheaded,” Lewis told The Associated Press before a Friday news conference. Lewis said Nolen then stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the company’s chief operating officer, shot him. “This was not going to stop if he didn’t stop it. It could have gotten a lot worse,” Lewis said. “The threat had already stopped once we arrived.” Lewis said Moore police have asked the FBI to look into the man’s background

because of the nature of the attack, which follows a series of videotaped beheadings by Islamic State militants. In a statement, FBI Special Agent in Charge James E. Finch said the motive for the attack has not been determined but that there is no reason to believe there is a threat to anyone else. A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told the AP that while there was indication that Nolen was a Muslim convert and was trying to convert others to Islam, there is so far no connection to terrorism and no evidence of any worrisome travel. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said Nolen had a Facebook page that was of potential interest to investigators but that “there doesn’t appear to be any nexus to terrorism right now.” But the official also said investigators were still looking into Nolen’s background. Johnson and the suspect were hospitalized and in stable condition Friday, Lewis said. Nolen had not yet been charged and Lewis said he didn’t know what charges the suspect would face. Oklahoma Department of Corrections records say Nolen has served time in

Alton A. Nolen, 30, is seen in an Oklahoma Department of Corrections mug shot from March 25, 2013. prison and is on probation for assault and battery on a police officer. He also was convicted of cocaine possession with intent to distribute in 2011. Corrections records show Nolen has what appear to be religious tattoos, including one referencing Jesus and one in Arabic that means “peace be with you.” Lewis said Nolen had been fired in a building that houses the company’s human resources office, then immediately drove to the entrance of the business. Lewis said he didn’t know why the man was fired.

Fire at Illinois air facility snarls flights CHICAGO (AP) — A contract employee set fire at a suburban Chicago air traffic control center where he worked, bringing two of the nation’s busiest airports to a halt Friday, according to a criminal complaint. Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville, Illinois, is charged with destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. When paramedics found him, the criminal complaint says, he was trying to cut his own throat. The FBI said Howard remains hospitalized and no court date has been scheduled. Delays and cancellations

rippled through the air travel network from coast to coast after the fire. By Friday night, more than 2,000 flights in and out of Chicago had been canceled. A few flights resumed around midday, after a nearly five-hour gap. The planes were moving at a muchreduced pace, officials said, and no one could be sure when full service would be restored. Howard worked for the FAA contractor that supplies and maintains communications systems at air traffic facilities, said Jessica Cigich, a spokeswoman for

Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, the union that represents FAA technicians. He was recently told he was being transferred to Hawaii, the complaint said. According to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, a relative who saw a suicidal Facebook note posted on Howard’s account early Friday alerted authorities. Meanwhile, a 911 call from the control center brought a suburban fire department to the scene, where paramedics followed a trail of blood past a gas can, two knives and a lighter, the complaint said.

resulted in three straight tackles for loss by the aggressive Reedsport defense. A short punt gave the Braves the ball at Santiam’s 26-yard line and Herr scored on a fourth-andone run a few plays later. Reedsport added a safety early in the second quarter when Zehe had a punt roll out of bounds at the Santiam 4-yard line and Nicot was forced to throw the ball awkwardly with his left hand to avoid a sack in the end zone and was called for intentional grounding, a spot-of-foul penalty that resulted in the safety.

NORTH BEND — The Bulldogs managed to put up 56 points in their Far West League opener Friday and still have the most impressive performance come from their defense. North Bend held Douglas to minus-39 yards rushing on 11 carries in the first half of Friday’s 566 blowout of the Trojans, going up 43-0 by half and not allowing a score until second stringers flooded the field in the third quarter. Through North Bend’s undefeated 4-0 start, the Bulldogs’ defense is allowing 10.5 points per game while the offense continues to robotically roll off 50 points on average each contest. “I think we dominated,” North Bend senior linebacker Jared Hampel said of his defense. “I’m excited with our heart and effort. We have a lot of seniors who know what they’re doing and are pretty level headed.” With senior leaders like Jake Buck, Hunter Harden and Anthony Hawk not in pads on Friday due to injury, the rest of the North Bend defense stepped up. Anthony McDonald had a sack in the second quarter. Dakota Moore and Joe Rutherford each added a half a sack on the Trojans’ Carter Dahl. Reserve Seth Frings added a interception late in with fourth quarter. Marshall Rice was the star of the show on defense with two of North Bend’s four picks, the second he took 102 yards from the end zone for North Bend’s longest score of the season — he also dropped an interception the first drive of the game.

NORTH BEND — During the 2013-14 school year, North Bend’s athletics and activities were on par with the best the state has to offer. In the fall, the Bulldogs boys and girls soccer and football teams were state semifinalists. In the winter, their girls swimming team placed second and cheerleading finished third. Then in the spring, North Bend won state titles in speech, band and boys track and field. That type of year doesn’t go unnoticed, and it turns out North Bend wasn’t just on par with other schools in the state, but leading the pack. On Friday morning, the Bulldogs received a trophy that encompasses all their efforts in competition, winning the Class 4A Oregonian Cup. “It represents that our whole school, and I guess our whole community, did something great,” North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester said. “It’s bigger than a state championship, a lot bigger than that, because it involves any kid that was involved in any activity last year.” During North Bend’s Miss Flame assembly Friday morning, Oregon School Activities Association Executive Director Tom Welter spoke to the students for a few minutes before handing over the shimmering metal cup. “It’s not an award of a single team, not an award that belongs to

Marshfield’s football team won its Far West League opener, topping host Brookings-Harbor 38-7 Friday night. “I feel pretty good about the win, especially given the fact that we are still short four key kids,” Marshfield coach Josh Line said. Quarterback Andrew Sharp and running Lance back Grigsby led the way as they adjust to their positions filling in for injured teammates. “Sharp had some really outstanding throws for us that I thought were pivotal because I thought we were reeling at the time,” Line said. “We were having a hard time moving the ball. They were putting a lot of guys in the box and we couldn’t run. That kind of opened the game up for us.” Sharp had two touchdown runs and a touchdown pass to Ben Martin. Grigsby, meanwhile, scored the other three touchdowns and rushed for 170 yards on 19 carries. “Grigsby just ran like an animal again,” Line said. The coach also credited Marshfield’s offensive line for creating opportunities. “Our offensive line gets better every week,” he said. The Bruins got their only score on a 2-yard run by Christian Hooper right before halftime, when Marshfield already led 19-0.

Tom Welter, Executive Director of the Oregon School Activities Association, hands over the Class 4A Oregonian Cup to North Bend High School students Friday. The award recognizes the best all-around school in academics, athletics, activties and sportsmanship in each of the state’s six classifications. a single program, it’s an award that belongs to a school community,” Welter said to a packed North Bend gym. “We view it as the most significant award that we can give a member school because it encompasses the four areas that we believe in.” Those areas are commitments in academics, activities, athletics and sportsmanship, with the cup handed out to the schools in each of the six classifications that accumulates the most points through all the different categories. North Bend had all 19 of its different teams score points, with six finishing in the Top-10. For academics, they measure a team’s grade point average, awarding points for programs that achieve at least a cumulative GPA of 3.0, something every North Bend varsity team achieved last

year. In athletics, they measure how they finished in state championships. For activities, they judge the other non-traditional athletic endeavors OSAA sponsors: speech, debate, band, choir, orchestra, solo music, cheer and dance. For sportsmanship, they deduct points for schools that have had someone ejected. North Bend excelled in that category, with not a single Bulldog coach, player or participant ejected in any activity or game all last year. “That doesn’t happen on accident,” Welter said. Forrester added the schools hasn’t had any ejected in not just last year, but the past two. “You can win state championships in every sport and not win this award,” he said.

Pirates have lead in volleyball race

From page B1 Midway through the second quarter, Herr scored again after an interception by Marquece Williams, who returned the ball to the end zone only to have a teammate called for holding. The Braves still capitalized on the turnover when Herr burst through a huge hole on the right side and trotted into the end zone from 18 yards out. Reedsport kept that 23-6 lead throughout the third quarter, but Santiam threatened late in the quarter, driving deep into Reedsport territory. Williams put an end to that drive on the final play of the quarter, though, when he stepped in front of a receiver to intercept a pass by Nicot and ran untouched down the right sideline 96 yards for the game’s final score. “I saw the quarterback and knew he was going to throw it to my guy,” Williams said. “I grabbed it and took off.” The Braves also recovered a fumble, giving them three takeaways in the game. “I felt like our defense was pretty solid tonight,”

Williams said. “We worked hard as a team this week. We were prepared.” Herr agreed. “When they first scored, we said, ‘No more,’” he said. “It put a fire under us.” The Braves limited the Wolverines to 57 yards rushing and 100 passing. Reedsport’s offense wasn’t much better. Herr gained 93 yards on 15 carries, but missed nearly the entire second half with cramping in his legs for the second straight week.

Quarterback Tyler Tresch’s only complete pass went for a 7-yard loss. “We didn’t even try to pass because I thought we could run the ball,” Nelson said. “We need to be able to control the clock.” Next up is the league opener at Sunset Conference newcomer Toledo next week. Herr said the Braves are ready. “Oh yeah,” he said, adding that the team will work this week on executing its offense and limiting penalties.

Two Reedsport touchdowns were called back by penalties Friday night, and the Braves ultimately did not score on one of those possessions. “Penalties are killing us,” Nelson said. “We had big plays washed away.” But the Braves did more than enough to come away with the victory over the Wolverines. Now 3-1, the Braves have momentum, Williams said. “I feel like we’re progressing pretty good,” he said

time lead. After a Keeler score in the third, with less than two minutes left and up 22-18, Floyd completed a 13-yard pass to Raef Williams on fourth-and-four to ice the win. “It went pretty good,” Gold Beach head coach Justin Storns said. “Kids fought through adversity and it’s tough for a 2A school to go up against a 5A school. The speed of a 5A school, it’s tough to defend for a 2A school, but we prevailed and came out on top.” Gold Beach begins Sunset Conference play next week when they host Waldport on Friday. “We should be all right during that game,” Storns said. “It’s been a great preseason so I feel pretty good about next week.” Illinois Valley 50, Coquille 42: The Red Devils were unable to overcome two costly turnovers and an inability to come up with stops on defense for three quarters while losing their final preseason game at home. “I think we beat ourselves more than they beat us,” Coquille coach David Thomason said. The Red Devils lost one fumble into the Cougars’ end zone and another just after Illinois Valley scored late in the second quarter, allowing the Cougars their fourth straight touchdown in the quarter on the next play. “Defensively, we couldn’t make a tackle,” Thomason said. “I know what to work on next week. We had too many mistakes and they took advantage of them.” Offensively, Coquille got big nights from both Mo Faith and Joe Scolari. Faith had a 60-yard touchdown and another short score in his first game back from a shoulder injury. Scolari ran for two other scores in the second half. Illinois Valley quarterback CJ Manning had four touchdown passes and a touchdown run. James Thompson had two touchdown runs and Logan Miller caught three of the four touchdown passes. The Red Devils were happy to see Illinois Valley’s spread attack because that’s what they expect from Pleasant Hill in their Mountain Valley Conference opener next week. “We’ve got to eliminate our mistakes and do what we do,” Thomason said. “If we can do that, we’ve got a chance.”

Yoncalla came into the match without a league win, but played well, and the Cruisers responded to that challenge, Powers coach Heather Shorb said. “We played together as a team and came back and we didn’t give up,” she said. “I’m pretty proud of them.” The win was perhaps more significant because the Cruisers were beaten badly by Camas Valley only two days earlier. “It was good to go five games and have a tough match and come out on top, especially because we had that tough game against Camas,” Shorb said.

CROSS COUNTRY Harrier’s Challenge: Marshfield ran without its top two boys, but finished seventh in the big meet at Cottage Grove on Thursday. Dakota Pittullo led the Pirates, placing 29th by covering the 5,000-meter course in 19 minutes and 18 seconds. Colby Gillett and Sawyer Heckard did not compete in the race since they are running in another big meet in Portland today. Crater had six of the top 10 finishers and easily took the team title. Hidden Valley’s Shane Crofoot, who won the high school division of the Prefontaine Memorial Run on Saturday, was the individual champion in 16:41. Marshfield’s girls placed 10th in a team race won by Grants Pass. Jane Suppes led the Pirates with a 32nd-place finish (24:51). Crater’s Jordan Monroe won the girls race in 20:07.

Sports BULLDOGS From Page B1 “I’’m not the best, but our defense all together is really good.” said Rice, who now has three interceptions on the year. “I just did my best not to get caught and not to fall. I just let everything take over.” Hampel had a peculiar game. On the surface, the North Bend senior linebacker had two of the only quasi-miscues of the day for North Bend, though both mistakes didn’t result in points directly for Douglas. In the first quarter, Hampel got so free on punt coverage that he overran the Trojan kicker and missed the block, which fortuitously for Hampel, eventually turned into a 63yard punt return touchdown for Drew Matthews. In the second quarter, Hampel saw a Dahl pass go

through his hands and into John Wanamaker’s chest for a 51-yard gain, Douglas’ biggest play of the game. But what might’ve gone under the radar was that, in-between those two mishaps, Hampel turned in a brilliant performance for the Bulldog defense, holding up the Trojan run game and swarming to every mid-range tackle. “I was the one who had to make the mistake,” Hampel said sarcastically, adding of the almost-pick, “That’s one I wish I could take back.” The North Bend offense was led by Luke Lucero in the first half, and if the Bulldogs were a baseball team, he was their power hitter Friday. He hit home runs on 43 percent of his carries, going for 86 yards on sevens rushes and scoring touchdowns from 18, 38 and 2 yards out before getting

pulled well before halftime. “I owe it to my line, all of it to my line,” Lucero said. “They just fricking opened the big holes and I got the speed to shoot through them. They do all the work.” Matthews was his typical versatile self, grabbing an interception in the second quarter (his third of the season) and catching a 52yard touchdown pass from Cam Lucero in the second quarter on top of his punt return. “It’s a huge momentum builder,” Matthews said of North Bend’s ability to score on any play. “It’s nice to be able to do what we want to do when we want to do it. It helps our defense out and takes some of the pressure off our backs.” Cam Lucero went 6for-10 passing for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns, the second a 27-yard strike to Roger Ipparaguirre to

put North Bend up 43-0 midway through the second quarter. Lucero, who almost exclusively went downfield with 10-plus yard passes, was replaced by Levi Rider before halftime. Cam’s brother Brody Lucero, coming in relief as the third-string quarterback in the third, capped off a 14-play North Bend drive by scoring a threeyard touchdown run in the fourth, finalizing the score at 56-6. With the win, North Bend sits at 4-0 on the year and 1-0 in Far West League play with a game against Siuslaw in Florence this coming Friday. The Vikings lost to South Umpqua 2114 on Friday. “Next week is going to be lots of fun and going to be big for us,” Matthews said. “I think we’re right on track for where we want to go.”

CUP From Page B1 Friday marked the first time North Bend has won the award in the 15 years of the Oregonian Cup’s existence. In previous years, North Bend has finished second once and third a couple of times, but after the 2013-14 year, Forrester can proudly hang a banner in North Bend’s gym to commemorate the award (one was already hanging Friday morning). For Forrester, the award wouldn’t have been possible without the type of understanding and savvy fans North Bend attracts. “We’re talking about how it’s a great thing for our school, but I think it goes farther than that,” Forrester said, going on to elucidate. “The thing I think gets overlooked here is that usually when you go watch a high school football game, there’s people booing in the stands and stuff like that, but I think in our com-

munity, when you come to games, people don’t do that kind of stuff. When fans are booing, it carries over to the kids on the field. Pretty soon, it’s easier for them to get a bad attitude, then it’s acceptable, and then you have kids getting tossed out of games.” Different winners throughout the cup’s existence — schools like Jesuit, Marist and Summit — have come back to take consecutive titles, and North Bend certainly will attempt to repeat. But while a bevy of Bulldog programs look to be able to make more deep runs in the state playoffs this year, as long as participation and grade numbers stay up at North Bend, the Oregonian Cup is meeting its purpose. “It’s an incentive,” Welter said. “Remember, we’re playing kids games here. “In America, we feel like some of the best lessons we can teach our kids are learned outside the classroom.”

Nationals own top record in NL

The Associated Press

Kansas City Royals players and coaching staff celebrate after the Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-1 in Chicago on Friday.

Royals playoff drought ends CHICAGO (AP) — The mob arrived as soon as Salvador Perez squeezed that final foul popup, officially bringing Kansas City’s playoff drought to an end. Yes, the Royals are going back to the postseason. Kansas City clinched a playoff spot Friday night for the first time in 29 years, beating the Chicago White Sox 3-1 behind seven scoreless innings from Jeremy Guthrie. Kansas City secured at least a wild card and ended the longest active postseason drought among the major North American sports leagues. The last time the Royals made it to the playoffs, George Brett led Kansas City to a World Series victory over St. Louis in 1985. “It feels better than expected,” said Billy Butler, a 2004 draft pick and eightyear veteran. “It’s a great thing. I’m proud to bring this organization something they envisioned when they drafted me.” Small-market Kansas City endured more than its share of losing in recent years. But it contended into September last season and kicked down the playoff door on Friday.

The Royals crowded around Perez near the plate after he caught Michael Taylor’s foulout. A large contingent of Kansas City fans crowded near the visitors’ dugout, watching the party, and players tossed black and white playoff caps to them before walking off the field. The clubhouse was as chaotic as expected, with players dousing each other with bubbly and snapping pictures, whooping it up as the franchise’s years of losing gave way to pure joy. As the scene unfolded, Brett stood nearby with a bottle in one hand and a cup in the other, doing his best not to get drenched. “I got tired of the people criticizing the players on this team because they hadn’t won a World Series since 1985,” he said. “Ninety-five percent of these ... guys weren’t even born in ’85. It’s not their fault. These guys played their (butts) off all year.” And look where they are now. With Detroit losing to Minnesota, Kansas City trails the Tigers by a game in the AL Central with two to play.

If they are tied after Sunday, the teams will play game No. 163 at Detroit on Monday to determine the division winner. Kansas City also maintained a one-game lead in the wild-card standings over Oakland, which won 6-2 at Texas. The postgame celebration eventually returned to the field, where there was more spraying alcohol, more jumping up and down and more pictures, all to the delight of their supporters. Fans chanted “Let’s go Royals!” and some derogatory comments toward Detroit. They held up signs that read “My playoff beard starts growing today,” and “Finally.” That probably summed it up best for Kansas City. Yes, finally, the Royals are back. “We know it’s been emotional, not only for us but for the city itself, which has supported us all along the way,” closer Greg Holland said. Guthrie (13-11) could not have been much better, pitching four-hit ball while winning his third straight start. He struck out six and walked one. The White Sox scored in the eighth against Wade

Davis. Adam Eaton tripled with one out and came around on Alexei Ramirez’s single. But Jose Abreu and Conor Gillaspie struck out to end the inning. Holland worked the ninth for his 46th save in 48 chances. Alcides Escobar had two hits, including a leadoff single in Kansas City’s threerun first against Hector Noesi, and the Royals won for the fifth time in six games. Noesi (8-12) allowed six hits in six innings after it looked as if he might get knocked out early. The first three batters each got a hit, starting with Escobar’s single. Nori Aoki lined a run-scoring triple to right, and Lorenzo Cain had an RBI single for his 14th hit in 30 at-bats. Cain came around from second on Butler’s one-out single to make it 3-0. Chicago’s Paul Konerko began his farewell weekend by going 0 for 4. The retiring slugger, back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s game, received loud cheers every time he stepped to the plate, starting with a standing ovation in the second inning.

Mariners still have a pulse after win SEATTLE (AP) — Manager Lloyd McClendon wanted to make the point clear to his team: Playing a meaningful 161st game of the season is an accomplishment. Whether No. 162 will have any significance will depend on how much help the Seattle Mariners get from other teams. “I like where we are,” McClendon said. “I wish we were a little closer, but we’ll see what happens.” Kendrys Morales, Michael Saunders and Dustin Ackley homered against Jered Weaver, and the Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Friday night to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. Seattle remained two games back of Oakland for the second AL wild card. Seattle must win its final two and have Oakland lose its final two to force a onegame playoff on Monday in Seattle. “It’s awesome to know we’re at game 161 and we’re still in it,” Ackley said. “We couldn’t ask for much more especially with how we played the last five or six games not getting many wins, and to still be in it is pretty awesome.” Morales and Saunders gave Hisashi Iwakuma (15-9) an early lead. Morales

hit a leadoff homer in the second and Logan Morrison followed with a base hit to center before Saunders connected for his eighth homer. Ackley led off the fifth with a drive to the right-field seats. Iwakuma staggered through his past six starts, giving up at least three earned runs in each one and failing to pitch beyond the fifth four times. He rediscovered his form from earlier in the season, shutting out the Angels for the first five innings. Los Angeles finally got to Iwakuma in the sixth when Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout hit back-to-back homers. Iwakuma started the seventh but left with one out and a 3-2 count on David Freese after grimacing throwing a pitch and being visited by a trainer. “I needed to do my job and come out with a quality start and I was able to do that,” Iwakuma said through an interpreter. The Angels tried to rally in the ninth. Erick Aybar’s RBI double off Fernando Rodney cut the lead to 4-3, but the closer retired Freese and Brennan Boesch to complete his 48th save.

The Angels’ main goal for the weekend was accomplished before first pitch. They locked up home-field advantage throughout the postseason when Baltimore lost 4-2 to Toronto. Weaver (18-9) made his first start since being slowed by the flu and pitched six innings. Manager Mike Scioscia was hoping to get him enough work to be ready for the postseason, but Weaver allowed three or more homers for the eighth time in his career. Weaver set a new career high with 27 home runs allowed this season. It was Trout’s 36th homer of the season and No. 98 for his career, putting him in a tie with Frank Robinson for the fifth-most homers in baseball history before age 23. Trout added a leaping catch of Morales’ line drive in the eighth. Running to his left, Trout slightly overran the liner and reached behind his head as he jumped to make the catch. “I put the glove where I thought the ball was going to be,” Trout said. “You tell yourself to try to catch everything. I tried to give myself a chance and I caught it.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the second time in three seasons, the Washington Nationals will head to the postseason with the top seeding in the National League. The NL East champion Nationals locked up homefield advantage until the World Series by beating the Miami Marlins 4-0 on Doug Fister’s three-hitter in the opener of a day-night doubleheader Friday. Miami earned a split by winning the insignificant second game 15-7 with 22 hits, including K ike Hernandez’s grand slam and J.T. Realmuto’s three-run triple. Washington’s record was 94-66 at the end of a long day; the last pitch was thrown 9 hours, 35 minutes after the first. Taylor Hill (0-1) took the loss in his first major league start, allowing seven runs and 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings. A.J. Ramos (7-0) earned the win with a 1-2-3 eighth inning. Earlier, Solano was the only player who got a hit off Fister (16-6). Washington’s Anthony Rendon hit a solo shot to left off wild-as-can-be Jarred Cosart (4-4), who walked eight. Yankees 3, Red Sox 2: Derek Jeter took the night off after his emotional final home game and watched a bunch of Yankees rookies beat a group of Red Sox rookies. Watching from the dugout, there was little excitement for him to see one day after he provided plenty with his ultimate walkoff — a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning in the final home game of his 20 seasons. The Yankees had five rookies in the starting lineup for the first time in more than 30 years and the Red Sox started seven, including pitcher Steven Wright (0-1). Athletics 6, Rangers 2: Josh Reddick drove in three runs, Scott Kazmir won for the first time in seven starts and the Athletics moved ever so close to their third consecutive playoff appearance with a victory over Texas. The A’s remained two games ahead of Seattle for the second AL wild card spot. Adam Dunn, the big designated hitter batting in the No. 2 spot for the first time since June 2008, had a tworun double in the third for Oakland (87-73). Twins 11, Tigers 4: Rick Porcello allowed six runs in fewer than four innings, and Detroit lost to the Twins on a night the Tigers had hoped to clinch the AL Central title. Detroit could have wrapped up the division with a victory and a Kansas City loss, but Porcello (15-13) endured another rough outing down the stretch. Porcello allowed four earned runs and six hits in 3 2-3 innings. He is 0-4 with a 6.20 ERA in September. Pirates 3, Reds 1: Travis Snider and Andrew McCutchen hit consecutive run-scoring doubles in the eighth inning, and the Pirates beat the Reds 3-1 to keep the pressure on NL Centralleading St. Louis. The Pirates have won five of six and 17 of 21 overall. They have already clinched a wild card. Jared Hughes (7-5) got the final two outs of the seventh

for the win. Phillies 5, Braves 4: Jonathan Papelbon made his first appearance in Philadelphia since he made a lewd gesture as he left the field on Sept. 14, closing out the Phillies’ victory over the Braves with a scoreless ninth inning. Chris Johnson homered for Atlanta, which dropped its ninth in 11 games while falling to 5-18 this month. Indians 1, Rays 0: Corey Kluber struck out 11 in eight innings, and the Indians beat the Rays. The game concluded about an hour before the Indians were eliminated from playoff contention by Oakland’s 6-2 victory at Texas. Kluber (18-9), who allowed five hits and walked two, is tied for the AL lead in wins. He recorded his 11th MLB doubleRecap d i g i t strikeout game of the season and leads the majors with 269 strikeouts. Blue Jays 4, Orioles 2: Rookie Dalton Pompey had three extra-base hits, Drew Hutchison won for the first time in three starts and the Blue Jays beat Baltimore, ensuring that the Orioles will not finish with the best record in the AL. Baltimore right-hander Chris Tillman lost for the first time in 16 road starts. Tillman (13-6) came in 8-0 with a 4.19 ERA in his 15 previous road starts. Astros 3, Mets 1: Mets pitcher Jonathon Niese left his final start of the season with an elevated heart rate, a condition he has dealt with before, and the Astros rallied against reliever Carlos Torres for a victory over New York. Jose Altuve, closing in on the American League batting title, hit a tying single in a three-run sixth inning. Cubs 6, Brewers 4: Chris Coghlan hit a leadoff homer in the first and Javier Baez had his second career three-hit game, leading the Cubs to a victory over the Brewers. The Brewers lost for the 24th time in 34 games. Dodgers 7, Rockies 4: Justin Turner’s two-run infield single highlighted a sixrun sixth inning, and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Rockies for their third win in a row. Justin Morneau of Colorado went 2 for 3 with a two-run homer and a walk to move past Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison for the NL batting lead at .319. Padres 4, Giants 1: Ian Kennedy pitched seven innings for his third consecutive win, Seth Smith hit a tiebreaking double in the sixth inning and the Padres beat the Giants. The Padres jumped on San Francisco starter Ryan Vogelsong (8-13) for a run in the first then broke the game open with a three-run sixth. 7, Cardinals Diamondbacks 6, 10 innings: Jhonny Peralta drove in three runs, one with the go-ahead single in the 10th inning, and the Cardinals survived an Arizona rally to beat the Diamondbacks and stay alone atop the NL Central. The game came hours after the Diamondbacks announced manager Kirk Gibson had been fired.

Harvick wins 7th pole of year, topping Dover field DOVER, Del. (AP) — Time for some cuts, Chase style. NASCAR’s revamped Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format is set for its first elimination race, when four of 16 drivers will be out of the title picture by Sunday night. Win and advance — and they’ll all have to zip by Kevin Harvick to have a chance at Victory Lane. Harvick turned a lap at 162.933 mph to win the pole Friday at Dover International Speedway, leading the field for the third Chase race. Led by Harvick, Chase drivers took the top four spots and six of 10. Harvick’s seventh pole of the

season gives him one more than he had combined in his career entering this season. And it makes him one of the drivers to beat in a race where championship hopes are on the line. The bottom four are dumped from the hunt: Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola are at risk of getting cut Sunday. Hamlin, though, bolstered his bid to stay alive with a third-place qualifying run. “It’s the most important race of my career because it’s the most significant of my career,” Hamlin said. “We’ve got to get past this weekend with a shot to win the title. If not,

you become somewhat irrelevant.” Team Penske drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano are locked into the next round with wins in the first two Chase races. Kyle Busch starts second and Keselowski is fourth. Jeff Gordon is sixth and Hendrick Motorsports teammate and nine-time Dover winner Jimmie Johnson is eighth. The rest of the Chase field has Kasey Kahne 12th, Matt Kenseth 14th, Logano 16th, Carl Edwards 18th, Ryan Newman 20th, Almirola 21st, Kurt Busch 22nd, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 25th, Biffle 27th, and AJ Allmendinger 28th. Only six points separate Hamlin

and Kurt Busch from Newman in the 12th and final spot. “I believe if I run top five, I’ll put myself in,” Hamlin said. “A lot of things can happen. A lot of people that had bad luck last week are going to have a rebound week. We just hope to be on the better side of all those guys when it unfolds.” Kurt Busch is eight points outside the 12th-place cutoff and Almirola is 10. The top seven drivers in the field would need a ton of bad luck to fall out of a Chase spot, while Kenseth, Edwards, Allmendinger, Kahne and Newman are all on the bubble. “I do understand the conse-

quences of this race are higher than any of the other ones we’ve run this year, but that’s kind of fun,” Edwards said. Jamie McMurray was the highest non-Chase qualifier in fifth. Tony Stewart starts 15th in his first race since a grand jury decided he would not be charged in Kevin Ward Jr.’s death. Harvick, who drives for StewartHaas Racing, is winless in 27 career starts at Dover. “We feel like we’re in good shape, and we just want to keep building on the momentum we have to try to further that to lead into Kansas,” he said.

Sports Reggie Wayne nears milestones

Seattle hopes video helps teach tackling BY TIM BOOTH The Associated Press RENTON, Wash. — At some point during this past offseason, Pete Carroll decided it was time to make a movie, and it had nothing to do with the Seattle Seahawks winning their first Super Bowl. Carroll had followed closely the initiatives with USA Football’s “Heads Up Football” program to teach young football players the proper techniques for tackling without getting injured. The program has received wide support from the NFL, but Carroll felt there was something there that he could add. So the coach that once led a college program just a few miles from Hollywood decided to make a film about tackling. “I thought we had something that could complement their effort,” Carroll said. “That’s a really nice way of saying I thought we had a better way to help them. We’re teaching kids football. It’s something that we’ve done for a long time.” The video produced by Carroll and his staff is based around the premise of tackling with the shoulder and taking the head out of the equation. It lasts a little more than 20 min-

utes, showing technique, drills and game-action examples of how the Seahawks put these tackling fundamentals to use. Once it was done, Carroll’s video quickly caught the attention of the NFL as another way to keep the game safe without taking away any more of the physicality. “We’ve had a lot of cut ups but we never have put it together in that kind of fashion,” Carroll said. “We knocked it out in a couple days and put it out there. It got a lot of play I guess, a lot of people saw it; I hope it helps.” What Seattle is teaching is not drastically different than what’s been preached in the past, aside from an emphasis on trying to not have the head involved. The Seahawks’ tackling philosophy is that they use leverage and targets on the body of the ball carrier to tackle with their shoulders. Seattle has taken away the old idea of making sure the head of a would-be tackler must get across the face of the ball carrier. Instead, by targeting the near hip or chest of the ball carrier with the shoulder, wrapping up and then rolling through the tackle, the head stays out of the process.

The Associated Press

Denver Broncos RB Montee Ball is tackled during the first quarter in the game against Seattle at CenturyLink Field in Seattle on Sept. 21. “I think it makes us more effective. This is the whole thing we talk about having a tackling plan,” said Rocky Seto, the Seahawks defensive passing game coordinator who instructed much of the video. “When you are clear how you’re going to tackle, ‘I’m going to hit the guy with my right shoulder, whether it’s high or low and I’m going to track his hip and follow his hip until I make contact with him.’ Where before I have to think, ‘How is he moving, I have to get my hat across.’ There were more variables there.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Reggie Wayne is closer to the end of his NFL career than the beginning. Though it’s difficult to tell by watching the 35-year old veteran on Sundays. Wayne is the same, hardworking wide receiver that he’s always been — even after an ACL injury ended his 2013 season. Wayne is one of the best receivers to have played for the Indianapolis Colts. And now the 14-year veteran is on the verge of hitting some significant career milestones. On Sunday, Wayne will play in his 200th career game — only quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas have played in more games with the Colts. And with three catches, he will pass Isaac Bruce for No. 7 on the NFL’s reception list. And if he gets three catches, Wayne will continue his streak of games with at least three catches at 75. Wayne also is 11th all-time with 13,754 yards. If he gets 24 yards Sunday, he will pass Henry Ellard for 10th. “That just means you’ve

According to STATS, Inc., the Seahawks gave up just 22 broken tackles in 2013. “I think a lot of tutorial and instruction came from our season just the different type of tackles that we showed during the season,” Seattle safety Kam Chancellor said. “We always preach that we’re a shoulder tackling team, tracking the near hip, NEW YORK (AP) — tracking the near (pectoral) and tackle with the shoul- Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jason Peters was fined der.” $10,000 by the NFL on Friday and Washington Redskins nose tackle Chris Baker $8,268 for their roles in a brawl between the teams last Sunday.

NFL hands down fines for Eagles-Redskins brawl

Judge recuses himself from lawsuit MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge in Minneapolis who had been the arbiter of NFL labor matters for more than two decades recused himself Friday from ruling on a dispute between NFL owners and the players’ union over an alleged secret salary cap. U.S. District Judge David Doty was to have held proceedings Oct. 1 in the union’s $4 billion lawsuit against the NFL’s 32 teams for collusion. The NFL Players Association alleges the league enforced a secret $123 million salary cap

per club in 2010 when there was supposed to be no cap. The NFL denied it, and Doty sided with the owners in 2012. “The parties deserve a new examination of the issues by a judge that has not already expressed an opinion as to the outcome of the dispute,” Doty wrote in his order. The case was reassigned to the chief U.S. district judge for Minnesota, Michael Davis. The Oct. 1 status conference will be rescheduled. Doty had long overseen the 1993

Records are made to be broken, the longer I play I’m going to catch somebody else and at some point in time somebody is going to catch mine.” Wayne is 145 yards behind Cris Carter for ninth and 250 yards behind James Lofton for eighth. From there, the next man up is former Colts teammate Marvin Harrison at seventh. Barring injury, Wayne could likely pass all three this season. Wayne came into the league in 2001 and started learning from Harrison. Now in a similar role, Wayne is making lasting impressions on the younger guys. “We got to get him his three catches and make sure he passes Isaac Bruce. His stats speak for themselves, he’s Mr. Reliable ... he’s done it all. Watching him work his craft day-in and day-out, I’m just following his lead,” said thirdyear receiver T.Y.Hilton said.

Buffalo wide receiver Mike Williams was docked $11,025 for violating the NFL’s dress code. He wore red socks instead of blue like his teammates. Bills linebacker Brandon Spikes and San Francisco wide receiver Anquan Boldin were each fined $8,268 for unnecessarily head butting an opponent. Pittsburgh running back LeGarrette Blount was fined $5,000 for throwing the ball into the stands after his touchdown last week against Carolina.

USC is wary of OSU as Beavers visit Coliseum LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oregon State has beaten Southern California three times in the schools’ last six meetings, including two victories over Trojans teams with top-three rankings. Coach Steve Sarkisian knows all about the Beavers’ history of bedeviling the Trojans, and he realizes No. 18 USC can’t think about the past if it hopes to have much of a future in what’s already been a wacky season. USC (2-1, 1-0 Pac-12) returns to the Coliseum for a visit from Oregon State (3-0, 0-0) tonight, and the Trojans are still healing from their upset loss at Boston College two weeks ago. USC’s defense was exposed as porous, tackling-deficient and unequipped to deal with the Eagles’ complex offense — all of which could be disas-

trous against the superior Beavers, who are looking for another landmark win with quarterback Sean Mannion. Sarkisian is confident his Trojans will bounce back from their first loss of his tenure. “Although we’ve been through a lot, they have a unique ability to keep their spirits high,” Sarkisian said. “They work extremely hard. It’s a process, and we’re in the middle of the process. We’re in the middle of the journey. Our guys recognize that. But the goal is to continue to get better every time we come out here, and I believe they work at that.” Despite its impressive recent history against the touted Trojans, Oregon State hasn’t won at the Coliseum since 1960, losing 22 straight. Coach Mike Riley, the former USC assistant, has a team that

Ducks go back to the basics BY ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

There’s nothing like a close call to get a team’s attention. Washington State did that for the No. 2 Ducks. The Cougars pulled even with Oregon in the final quarter of last week’s game between the two teams, but Marcus Mariota confidently led the Ducks back for a 38-31 victory. With a bye this week before next Thursday’s game against Arizona, Oregon went back to basics. “We’re kind of in improvement mode in every phase,” coach Mark Helfrich said about this week. The Ducks are 4-0, including their statementmaking victory over thenNo. 7 Michigan State in Week 2 and the victory over the Cougars in the conference opener, but a few issues have cropped up. Oregon has been hit by injuries on the offensive line, with starters senior Jake Fisher and junior Andre Yruretagoyena both out for the foreseeable future. The Ducks started freshman Tyrell Crosby at left tackle, and Matt Pierson made his first start at right tackle against the Cougars. But the inexperience on the line showed, and Washington State sacked Mariota seven times. “It wasn’t always the new guys,” Helfrich said. “That’s just a matter of maybe a little bit of human nature: Sometimes if a guy’s missing at a certain position guys try to overcompensate and do too much. And that’s the worst thing because now you weaken two positions instead of just one.” The off-week has allowed the new players to get more reps against the first-team defense. Oregon has moved defensive lineman Stetzon Bair to the offense. There’s also some unease

about Oregon’s defense. Overall, the Ducks are ranked last in the Pac-12 for total defense, allowing an average of 443.5 yards per game. While Oregon’s numbers were no doubt hurt by Washington State’s prolific Air Raid offense and quarterback Connor Halliday, the Ducks were also working this week to shore up their defense. The Cougars had 499 yards of total offense in the game. “We had about 200 yards of — I don’t want to say ‘given’ offense — but missed tackles, lost leverage, lack of communication. And that’s simple stuff,” Helfrich said. Despite the challenge from the Cougars, Mariota said the game proved to the Ducks that they could win the close ones. “It gives you confidence that when things are going a little tough, that you can battle through those things and fight through those situations,” he said. With a few days of rest and the start of classes this week, the Ducks planned to start focusing on the Wildcats on Saturday. Last year Oregon was ranked No. 5 when the team traveled to Tucson and fell 4216 to the Wildcats. The loss, their second of the season, knocked the Ducks out of the national championship picture and cost them a fifth straight BCS bowl appearance. Ka’Deem Carey terrorized Oregon, running for 206 yards and four touchdowns. The Ducks had three turnovers and turned the ball over on downs twice. Mariota was intercepted on the first play from scrimmage. That ended his Pac-12 record string of 343 straight passes without an interception. As it turned out later, Oregon’s quarterback was hampered by a knee injury that he had been nursing for several games.

appears capable of breaking the streak if its relatively untested defense can shut down the Trojans’ ample offensive talent. “I told our team,‘You don’t have to bear that burden,”’ Riley said of the Beavers’ losing streak in Los Angeles. “‘This is our team, this year, and you don’t have to bear that burden of all that history.”’ Here are some more things to watch when Oregon State visits the Coliseum for its Pac12 opener: Mannion’s moment: Mannion is among the most accomplished quarterbacks in Oregon State history and a likely NFL prospect, but the Bay Area product has never beaten USC. The schools didn’t meet in 2011 or 2012, and Mannion threw three interceptions in Oregon State’s loss to an Ed Orgeron-led Trojans

team last season in Corvallis. The senior passer certainly had USC’s attention this week. “He’s a great quarterback,” USC linebacker Su’a Cravens said. “He can sling that thing. I’ve seen a play on film where he threw the ball about 70 yards down the field, so we’ve got to be ready for him. He is going to make the long throws that we’ve got to try to force him to make. It’s going to be a good game.” How quickly they forget: The goodwill from USC’s upset victory at Stanford quickly dissipated with the loss to Boston College, and Sarkisian is aware of the grumbling that already started with his defense’s flat performance. Those grumbles would amplify with a home loss to the Beavers, but the first-year coach of a probation-hampered program

doesn’t mind. “I chose to come to USC to be the best, to win championships,” Sarkisian said. “Expectations are extremely high. When we don’t perform to our abilities, we need to fix it.” Running the buck: USC tailback Javorius Allen scored three touchdowns in the Trojans’ win in Corvallis last season, and he is eager to get the running game going after it struggled in Boston. USC’s offensive line is a patchwork affair, with three potential freshmen starters and position switches abounding. “We just have to trust the coaching staff and believe in each other,” Allen said.“I know they can do it. I’ve seen them.” Untested Beavers: While USC opened its season with three potentially difficult games against Fresno State, Stanford and Boston College,

No. 11 UCLA rolls past No. 15 Arizona State TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Noticing the letters “UCLA” carved into the giant pitchfork at midfield, Arizona State officials scrambled to cover up the blemish. They did so quickly and posted a security guard to make sure no one else defiled the fork, even chasing away a UCLA player who dared step on the logo. Once the game started, the Bruins were all over the logo — and everywhere else in Sun Devil Stadium. Ishmael Adams gave UCLA a boost with a 95-yard interception return for a touchdown just before halftime and followed with a 100-yard kickoff return for another score in the third quarter, sparking the 11thranked Bruins to a 62-27 rout against No. 15 Arizona State on Thursday night. “We thought it was kind of funny that that were scrambling to cover it up so fast,” UCLA receiver Thomas Duarte said. “When something like that happens, you

know you’ve got the edge, that they’re letting little things get under their skin.” UCLA (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) won its first three games by a combined 18 points against non-ranked opponents, raising questions about just how good the Bruins are this season. They provided an emphatic answer — at least on offense — by turning a matchup of the past two Pac12 South champions into a rout, scoring 28 points during a 7-minute span of the second and third quarters. UCLA had 582 yards of total offense, five plays of 80 yards or longer and scored the most points in the 55-year-history of Sun Devil Stadium. Brett Hundley was the catalyst, returning from a left arm injury to hurdle defenders, dive for first downs and complete passes all over the field. He threw for 355 yards and four touchdowns on an efficient 18-of-23 passing, including an 80-yard score to Jordan Payton.

Ryder Cup

Europe is ahead 5-3 after Day 1

Even announcer gets caught up in Ryder-mania GOLF

BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

GLENEAGLES, Scotland — The start of this Ryder Cup was a lot like how the last one ended. European blue filled the scoreboard Friday afternoon at Gleneagles with strong finishes that Europe is renowned for in these matches. Rory McIlroy knocked in a 40-foot birdie putt across the 17th green, and Sergio Garcia followed with a 5-wood out of the rough and onto the 18th green to set up another birdie as they rallied to earn a halve that felt like it was worth much more. As for the Americans? They squandered a good start and faced another deficit, along with more questions about who played — and who didn’t. Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed made their Ryder Cup debut by handing European stalwart Ian Poulter his worst loss ever — and his first loss in eight matches — by building a 6-up lead through 11 holes and winning, 5 and 4, to take the early lead in morning fourballs matches. That didn’t last long — and neither did the young Americans. Spieth and Reed sat out in the afternoon. Europe won three matches and halved the other — its best record ever in foursomes — to build a 5-3 lead. “For our guys to react the way they did, for all four matches to be up after six holes — there was blue on the board for every single match — was a terrific response,” captain Paul McGinley said.

The Associated Press

Europe’s Rory McIlroy reacts after missing a putt on the 8th green during the fourball match on the first day of the Ryder Cup, at Gleneagles, Scotland, on Friday. “It shows a huge amount of character that we have on the team, huge amount of talent that we can come out with such strong pairings in the afternoon and a great response and resilience.” Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley became the first U.S. partnership to start out 4-0 with a great finish of their own — Bradley’s eagle putt on the 16th hole and Mickelson’s timely tee shot that set up a birdie from the bunker on the 18th hole — to beat Garcia and McIlroy in fourballs. But they faltered badly in foursomes, leading to some second-guessing of Watson’s decision to send them out again and leave Spieth and Reed on the bench. Even the 65-year-old captain had his doubts. “I thought at the time it was the best decision not to play them,” Watson said. Spieth said he was told that the morning performance would dictate who played in the afternoon and he was “100 percent certain” he and Reed would be going back out. Reed pleaded his case with Watson, though both later said they were willing to do whatever Watson wanted. “When I told Patrick that he wasn’t going to play in the

afternoon — it was comical at the time, not so comical now — I said, ‘How does that make you feel?’ He said, ‘Well, I’m all right with it.’ He said, ‘Well, really Captain, I’m not all right with it. I said, ‘That’s the way I want you to be.’ “You’re going to be second-guessed,” Watson said. “And obviously, you’re going to second-guess me on that decision right there.” McIlroy was on the verge of becoming the first No. 1 player in the world to lose both matches on the first day of the Ryder Cup since Tiger Woods in 2002. He came up with enough key shots and big putts — none bigger than on the 17th — to earn a halfpoint. “For the team, it was huge,” McIlroy said. “Personally for Sergio and I, just nice to be able to walk away from today with at least something.” They weren’t Europe’s biggest stars. Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, the leadoff match in the morning chill and a 20 mph wind, won both matches without trailing a single hole. Victor Dubuisson and Jamie Donaldson made strong rookie debuts for Europe. Jimmy Walker and Rickie

Fowler delivered momentum for the Americans in the morning and lost it in the afternoon. Walker twice holed out to win holes and picked up a vital half-point with a birdie on the 18th against U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer and Thomas Bjorn. The American tandem had a 2-up lead against Garcia and McIlroy and couldn’t hold it. Fowler’s 15footer to win the match on the 18th hole missed badly. Europe hasn’t lost on home soil since 1993 — the last time Watson was U.S. captain — and is coming off a victory two years ago at Medinah when they won the last two holes in three singles matches for the greatest comeback by a visiting team. One of the questions that week was whether Mickelson and Bradley, who had gone 30, should have sat out the final team sessions. This time, the question was whether Bradley and the 44year-old Mickelson should have sat out in favor of the youngest pairing in Ryder Cup history — the 21-yearold Spieth and 24-year-old Reed. Mickelson asked to sit out two years ago — not Friday. “I didn’t feel like I was out of gas as far as out of energy,” Mickelson said.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Webb Simpson was identified on the first tee as Bubba Watson. He hit his shot about as long as Tom Watson. As Simpson stepped up to get the Ryder Cup underway, veteran announcer Ivor Robson got caught up in the raucous atmosphere around the first tee. “On the tee,” Robson said in his distinctive voice, “Bubba Watson.” Simpson couldn’t help but raise a smile. “It was the first shot of the Ryder Cup,” Watson said. “He was nervous, too.” Simpson wasn’t smiling seconds later when his tee shot flew high into the air, traveling only 190 yards and barely reaching the fairway. It set the tone for his round. Simpson and Watson didn’t make a birdie between them in a 5-and-4 loss to Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. The American pair was stood down for the afternoon foursomes.

D I G E S T Watson offered an explanation. “Maybe it’s too windy so the sound travelled different.”

Stricker the stat man

Assistant captain Steve Stricker pitched in with some statistics to persuade U.S. captain Tom Watson to change some of his pairings. The plan was to have Jordan Spieth play with Matt Kuchar, and Patrick Reed to go with Jim Furyk. But then Stricker did some research. Spieth said Stricker found in their PGA Tour statistics that both ranked well in total birdies last season, and both were pedestrian in driving accuracy. “That speaks perfectly to best ball,” Spieth said. Watson told them Wednesday about his new plan to put them together, and it worked beautifully. They Bubba’s games made six birdies in a 5-and-4 Bubba Watson cupped one win over Ian Poulter and ear, than the other, toward the Stephen Gallacher, handing European fans that were riling Poulter is worst loss ever. him, waved his right hand in the air, then took his first tee Bee sting shot while cheers were still Justin Rose played 27 holes ringing out. with a swollen right thumb It’s always a boisterous start after he was stung by a bee to play at the Ryder Cup midway through the morning nowadays but Watson said the fourballs. noise wasn’t as loud as at “It was a well-deserved Celtic Manor in 2010. sting because I hit a terrible “Even after we lost, when shot into the water hazard on they won, wasn’t much chat- the ninth and I was sort of ter out there,” Watson said. searching for my golf ball,” “Rory (McIlroy)’s group, even Rose said. “The next thing ... when they took the lead with a I had the barb of the insect in few holes left, it wasn’t as loud me. as you can hear roars at some “Lucky it wasn’t the left of the other golf tournaments because that one takes a lot of in the U.S. pressure.” “So yeah, just didn’t seem It didn’t affect him.

Tower Ford turns 100 B Y G AIL E LBER The World

COOS BAY— When Isaac R. “Russ” Tower sold a Model T Ford in 1914, the handshake was just the beginning. “Russ used to joke that the hardest part about selling Model Ts was teaching people to drive them,” said Tower’s great-nephew, Charlie Day. “Many had never seen an automobile.” Tower must have had a knack for teaching, because the dealership he founded, Tower Ford Motor Company, is still going strong a century later in Coos Bay under Day’s leadership. In fact, it’s inviting the public to a birthday party at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, in the showroom. The son of one of the county’s pioneer physicians, Russ Tower started selling cars in 1909 at The Gunnery, a sporting goods, bicycle and auto parts store on Front Street in Marshfield. He represented several auto including Buick, makes, Maxwell and Studebaker. But in 1914, he became a Ford dealer. Ford had recently introduced the Model T “The Ford was the key for everyone having a car — the Model T,” Day said. “They were able to become mobilized and drive the old horse and cow trails around Coos County.” As early drivers struggled, so did early car dealers. Sales depended on the improvement of roads and the establishment of filling stations, led by oil companies. When Tower got into the Ford business, World War I was starting. Then the Great Depression damped sales. After that, World War II put a stop to civilian vehicle production. “They hung on,” Day said. “It was tough for everybody.” Auto dealers dealt in used cars and bided their time. After World War II, Russ partnered with his nephew, L.T. “Bud” Day, who had just been discharged from the US Navy as a lieutenant commander. “They proceeded through probably the biggest boom ever in the US automotive business,” Charlie Day said. “The cars started to roll off the assembly line, and times in Southwestern Oregon developed into the most prosperous times I think we've ever seen. The lumber business exploded because the nation was ready to build. The Port of Coos Bay was the world's largest lumber shipping port. “Tower Motor Company jumped on board, like everybody else in the whole country, and the business grew and has continued to grow.” In 1969, Bud Day invited his son, Charlie, to join the business. Charlie had graduated from the University of Oregon

By 1980, Charlie Day was the Tower Ford Motor Company’s dealer principal and was raising the dealership’s next generation. Although his children originally pursued various careers, they all entered the business in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Currently, Chuck Day is new

Caddy McKeown to host town hall Checkerberry’s adds tuxedo rentals B USINESS R E P O R T S

NORTH BEND — State Rep. Caddy McKeown is hosting a town hall focused on career readiness and economic competitiveness Monday at North Bend High School. McKeown will be joined by Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, Reedsport Community Charter School shop class teacher Guy Marchione, Southwestern Oregon Community College vice president of instruction and student services Ross Tomlin and SWOCC dean of career technical education Diana Schab. The town hall will be 5:306:30 p.m. Monday at North Bend High’s Hall of Champions, 2323 Pacific Ave.

4.2 million vehicles in 2000; in 2013, the company sold 2.5 million cars in the USA, about the same number it did in the 1970s. It’s still the country’s best-selling vehicle brand, with Ford F-series trucks being the best-selling vehicle for 32 years. Cars of all makes have improved over the years, Day said. “I was always kind of a high performance nut,” he said. “I can remember thinking in 1970, ‘Mustangs, those are hot, they really go fast.’” “But now the most basic Mustang will outperform the hottest high performance Mustang of 30 years ago and still get 30 miles to the gallon.” Compared with 30 years ago, “With inflation, the price is about the same, straight across, not just for Ford but for all car makes. There's a lot of bang for the buck compared with what it used to be.” “They have improved durability, longevity and fuel efficiency. And they're much safer. So people tend to keep cars longer. And they tend to have fewer repairs than 20 to 30 years ago.” That’s changed the dealer-

ship business. So has the Internet. Day sees the advent of the Internet as a good thing for car sales but a bad thing for the South Coast’s retailers, which has had economic ripples in the community. Online communication also means Ford dealers seldom meet factory reps face to face nowadays. But if Russ Tower walked into the dealership today, the thing that might surprise him most is the difficulty Day has in hiring employees. High schools no longer have automotive technology classes, and neither does Southwestern Oregon Community College. Lane Community College in Eugene offers two-year programs in automotive technology and auto body and fender technology. Mount Hood Community College has twoyear cooperative programs with Ford/Lincoln, Chrysler and certain import dealers that let students learn at dealerships. But around here, there just aren’t enough people trained in modern auto repair and body work. “I don't understand why we can't find more people that are willing to take on these very high-paying jobs,” Day laments. “They are not encouraged, I think, to prepare for that sort of an education.” Even entry-level jobs such as washing cars and selling them find few applicants, Day said. “I just don't know where it's going and why it's going this way.” Having weathered all these changes, Tower Ford is joining a small club of 100-year-old Ford dealerships. About two dozen have reached the milestone.

Wine grape harvest shapes up as big one ERIC MORTENSON Capital Press

NEWBERG (AP) — Sam Tannahill doesn’t want to jinx the 2014 Oregon wine grape harvest, but here goes: It’s shaping up to be “epic.” “An amazing year,” said Tannahill, viticulture director and a co-founder of A to Z Wineworks in Yamhill County. Perfectly warm summer temperatures, no bad weather “curveballs” like last year’s monsoon and very little disease pressure, he said. As a result, the state’s growing regions, from Mosier in the Columbia River Gorge to Medford in Southern Oregon, are producing big yields of “beautiful, beautiful grapes,” Tannahill said. “The quality is off the charts.” Knock on wood — such as those French oak fermentation barrels at A to Z that cost $1,000 each — but the pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris, riesling, rose and other varieties produced this year by the state’s 905 vineyards and 601 wineries may be equally notable. Tannahill didn’t expect

problems from rain that swept into the Willamette Valley this week. The vineyards could use a drink, he said, and the grapes are welldeveloped, with thick skins that will protect them. Greg Jones, a Southern Oregon University professor who specializes in viticulture climatology, said 2014 was the warmest growing season on record for most of the state, and largely without extreme temperature spikes that damage crops. The consistently warm temperatures allowed growers to harvest grapes at peak condition rather than rush to beat cold weather or downpours, Jones said. Wine produced should be of very good quality, he said. “We’re seeing really beautiful fruit this year,” agreed Bill Sweat, chair of the Oregon Wine Board and owner of Winderlea Vineyard and Winery in Dundee. “The biggest thing we’re fighting on the sorting line this year is boredom.” Wine quality is less predictable, Sweat said, but sugar, acidity and alcohol levels are trending in the right direction. “Every indi-

cation is it’s going to be a very beautiful vintage,” he said. Vintages from warm years such as this tend to be more fruitful, lush and “very compelling wines early on in their life,” he said. The heavy yield — he’s picking 2.75 to 3 tons per acre compared to the typical 2.25 tons — caused the vines to spread the sugar around. “It’s much more balanced than you would have expected, given the heat,” Sweat said. Oregon wine has been on a “pretty good run,” with positive ratings from professional wine reviewers in all recent years except for 2007, Sweat said. But with the passage of time, the 2007 has greatly vintage improved. “Those wines are gorgeous right now,” he said. The heavier yield this year has caused some logistical problems, however, as growers hustle to provide fermentation space. “You expect to pull 5 tons from a vineyard and 7.5 show up,” Sweat said. “I’ve been joking that we’re putting grapes in pots and pans and crockery.”

Cast homework in the right light BY LISA A. FLAM The Associated Press If you can’t imagine how your kids can possibly see well enough to do their homework as they sprawl out on the floor, their beds or the couch; fear not: Though good lighting for the homework hour (or hours) is often forgotten, it is simple to achieve. “Sometimes we get so focused on making the room look cute, we can overlook the importance of the spaces having to function well,” says Chicago designer Ruthie Stebbins. Lighting options are plentiful at any budget, and online shopping can help you narrow the options. “(You) can always find something pretty at any price point,” said Stebbins, of RHS i + d. “It’s out there.” It stands to reason that kids will be more productive and efficient when they can see clearly. “The more easily you can read something, the more easily you can learn it,” said Dr. Pamela Gallin, a pediatric ophthalmologist at NewYork-Presbyterian

Hospital. “Good light will help you learn more easily.” Light should be bright enough to be comfortable; if kids are moving away from it or squinting, it’s likely too bright. It should not cast distracting shadows, and should illuminate an area beyond the work at hand, rather than serving as a spotlight, high-contrast Gallin said. “The ideal is a well-lit room with extra light at the homework page,” she said. “You don’t want an island of light in a sea of dark.” However, the age-old way to sneak in just a few more pages before bedtime won’t hurt them. “If they’re reading a book under the blanket with a flashlight, they’re not doing any harm,” Gallin said, although not being able to see clearly or straining to see could cause a headache. Without good light, “you’re not causing physical harm,” she said, “but you’re not at tip-top productivity, either.” Stebbins says that layering the light — that is, using more than one light source

in a room — boosts the aesthetics and functionality of a space. In a child’s bedroom or playroom, she likes to use a flush or semi-flush ceiling fixture or recessed lighting to evenly light the room and high-contrast eliminate areas — bright and dark spots in a room. Then, she illuminates the space where a child is working with a lamp. Layered light “adds to overall ambiance and warmth of the room,” said Stebbins. If your child sits at a desk, look for a lamp with at least 60 watts of light and tall enough to cover a wideenough area to avoid the spotlight effect, Gallin said. Lamps for the floor and the desk are commonly turned out with metal shades, but Stebbins prefers paper and linen shades because they lower the contrast by diffusing the light. If your kids study or read on the floor or couch, try parking a floor lamp behind them to wash their textbooks in light. “If you’re not sitting at a desk or flat surface, then you want

over-your-shoulder light,” Gallin said. As with a desk lamp, the scale of a floor lamp is important. If a child is reading while lying on the carpet or plopped in a beanbag chair, the light shouldn’t be too far from the floor. “You want to keep the light directed within 24 inches of those pages,” Stebbins said. “If her knees are the surface, you might be looking for a floor lamp that has multiple bulbs you can direct around.” With so many kids using computers for school, parents should take extra care to keep the contrast low in the homework space. “The environment should be as soft and evenly lit as possible so the high contrast on the screen isn’t exaggerated by a high-contrast light in the room,” Stebbins said. While these are ideal lighting scenarios, Gallin urged parents to pick their battles wisely. “If they’re getting A’s and they’re not getting headaches,” she counseled, “don’t argue about the light.”

Business Tech

Cyber experts warn of ‘Bash’ bug NEW YORK (AP) — New warnings are emerging of a security flaw known as the “Bash” bug, which cyber experts say may pose a serious threat to computers and other devices using Unix-based operating systems such as Linux and Mac OS X. Beyond computers, devices ranging from home Internet routers to systems used to run factory floors and power plants to medical equipment could be affected. The Department of Homeland Security’s Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued a warning about the vulnerability this week. Experts are divided over whether the bug could pose a bigger threat than the “Heartbleed” computer security flaw dis-

covered earlier this year. Security company Rapid7 said that while the vulnerability “looks pretty awful at first glance,” hackers will not be able to exploit most systems running the affected Bash software. The Heartbleed bug exploited a key piece of security technology used by hundreds of thousands of websites. For more than two years before it was discovered, the flaw exposed passwords and other sensitive data to hackers who could steal that information. The reason the Bash bug could be worse than Heartbleed is because it gives the attacker a bigger advantage than Heartbleed did, said Tod Beardsley, engineering manag-

er at Rapid7. With Heartbleed, attackers could get an information leak. With the Bash bug, they can get “remote code execution,” a way to take control of the affected device to install programs or run commands, he said. The bug is rated a maximum 10 out of 10 for its impact and ease of exploitability by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, an industry standard for assessing how bad security flaws are. On the other hand, a perfect set of conditions need to be present for the bug to be open to exploitation. That could limit its effect. The vulnerability was discovered by Stephane Chazelas of Akamai Technologies

Inc. The company said in a blog post Wednesday it has no evidence that any systems were compromised using the bug. “And unfortunately, this isn’t ‘No, we have evidence that there were no compromises;’ rather, ‘We don’t have evidence that spans the lifetime of this vulnerability.’ We doubt many people do — and this leaves system owners in the uncomfortable position of not knowing what, if any, compromises might have happened,” Akamai said in a blog post on Wednesday. Bash was released in 1989. As for what to do, Beardsley said to wait for the slew of patches that device makers and others will be releasing in the coming weeks.

A Closer Look: Ways to hide, secure data on phones BY ANICK JESDANUN AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Apple got a lot of attention recently when it released a new privacy policy along with a declaration that police can’t get to your password-protected data. Essentially, your photos, messages and other documents are automatically encrypted when you set up a passcode, with or without a fingerprint ID to unlock the phone. Apple says it cannot bypass that passcode, even if law enforcement asks. Google says it will also encrypt data by default in an upcoming Android update. The option has been there, but many people don’t know about it or bother to turn it on. Apple, Google and other tech companies have been trying to depict themselves as trustworthy stewards of personal information following revelations that the National Security Agency has been snooping on emails and other communications as part of an effort to identify terrorists. Apple is also trying to reassure customers about its commitment to security and privacy after hackers broke into online accounts of celebrities who had personal photos stored on Apple’s iCloud service.

LG G3:

Beyond setting up passcodes, some phones have additional tools for hiding or securing sensitive photos and documents stored on the phone, particularly if you need to lend or show your phone to someone. Here’s a closer look at some of those options:

offer.

LG’s flagship phone has a guest mode. You can lend a phone to a friend without giving your friend access to everything. You can even set a separate unlock code for the guest, so that you don’t have to give out yours. Look for “Guest mode” in the settings under the General tab. You then specify which apps your guest can access. For instance, you might want to give access to The Associated Press the phone, alarm clock and A journalist uses her mobile device during a media event held in Beijing. music, but you might want Beyond setting up passcodes, some phones have additional tools for to block email and texts. hiding or securing sensitive photos and documents.

Apple’s iPhones and iPads: In the latest software update for mobile devices, iOS 8, Apple offers an easier way to hide photos from your collection in the Photos app. Simply press down on the photo or the thumbnail of it and tap “Hide.” However, the photo will still appear in individual albums, including a new one called “Hidden.” You can go there to unhide hidden photos. So why bother? This feature is mainly useful when you want to let people glance through your entire collection of photos. That could be when you’re sitting with a friend in the same room or making a presentation before a large audience. You can hide embarrassing or incriminating photos — such as naked selfies — as long as you remain in control of the device. If you hand it to a friend and walk out, your friend can browse through the albums section.

The bigger picture: These tips touch only the surface of what you can do to protect your privacy. For instance, these apply only to data stored on the device. For files stored on Internet-based storage services such as iCloud and Dropbox, you’ll want to make sure you have a strong password and turn on a second layer of protection, often known as two-step verification. I covered that in a previous column, which can be found here: http://bit.ly/1paHdMw . You’ll also want to pay attention to what data you’re sharing through apps. With iOS, you can choose which apps can know your location and when, such as all the time or only when the app is actively running. Go to the “Location Services” settings under “Privacy.” Unfortunately, it tends to be all or nothing with Android. You can turn off location services, but that affects all apps, including maps and others that might need your location. With both iOS and Android, you can choose to limit ad targeting based on your interests and surfing history. For an explainer, read our column here: http://bit.ly/1qnBRNa .

Apple’s response to iPhone glitches is key SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple’s response to a high-profile gaffe involving its iPhone software may be more important than the glitch itself. As the giant tech company scrambled to fix a software glitch that left some of its new iPhones unable to make calls, some analysts said Thursday that Apple is doing the right thing by quickly acknowledging and apologizing for the problem — which it was slower to do with earlier iPhone problems. Apple released a new update late Thursday that the company said would repair the problems caused by software it released Wednesday morning. And it repeated an earlier apology to owners of its newest iPhones who were affected by that buggy release. “There’s a certain perception that Apple has to get things right, and when they don’t, the whole company said questioned,” gets Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel. “But they came out and said ‘We apologize; we’re working 24/7 to fix it.’ I think that’s what matters.” Apple’s stock fell nearly 4 percent Thursday, leading a broader decline in technology shares, a day after the company was forced to withdraw an update to its new iOS 8 mobile software because of glitches that primarily affected customers who had purchased its new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models. The 6 Plus phone has also been the subject of social media reports that its extralarge shell is vulnerable to bending. In a statement Thursday, Apple defended its manufacturing standards and said bending “is extremely rare” with normal use of an iPhone. The company said just nine customers had contacted Apple to report a bent iPhone 6 Plus since they went on sale Friday. Later in the day, Apple released a new update,

Cupertino-based Apple has said it sold a record 10 million of the new iPhone models over the weekend, in what the company has called one of the biggest product launches in its history. It also reported this week that nearly half of all iPhone and iPad users had upgraded to the new software known as iOS 8. That new software contains a number of new features and is more complex than earlier versions of iOS, analysts said.

dubbed iOS 8.0.2, which it said would fix the problems caused by the iOS 8.0.1 update that it released on Wednesday. “We apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS 8.0.1,” the company said in a statement. A day earlier, the company had also apologized “for the great inconvenience experienced by users” and vowed to work “around the clock” to fix the problem.

Apple released the 8.0.1 update on Wednesday to fix some flaws that were detected after iOS 8 was released — only to find the 8.0.1 update created problems of its own. problems The new included interference with calling and with a feature that lets people unlock their phones with their fingerprint.

Pope removes divisive bishop in Paraguay VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Thursday forcibly removed a conservative Paraguayan bishop who had clashed with his fellow bishops on ideological grounds and promoted a priest accused of inappropriate sexual behavior. The removal of Bishop Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano, a member of the conservative Opus Dei movement, marks the second time Francis has kicked out a conservative bishop for the sake of keeping peace among the faithful and

unity among bishops. In March, he ousted the “bling bishop” of Limburg, Germany, whose $43 million new residence complex caused an uproar among the faithful. Livieres was named bishop of Ciudad del Este in 2004 and immediately disturbed other more progressive bishops in Paraguay by opening his own seminary, following a more orthodox line than the main seminary in the capital, Asuncion. Paraguay’s bishops are known for their progres-

sive bent in a poor country where liberation theology found fertile ground. Relations between Livieres and the rest of Paraguay’s bishops worsened when he got into a public spat with the then-archbishop of Asuncion, whom he accused of being gay. Livieres also infuriated advocates for victims of sexual abuse by taking in and promoting an Argentine priest, the Rev. Carlos Urrutigoity, whose former superior in the U.S. had said was a “serious threat to

young people.” Urrutigoity has denied allegations of sexual impropriety, has never been charged and hasn’t been accused of sexually abusing minors. In 2004, though, the diocese of Scranton, Pennsylvania, settled a lawsuit against him, another priest and the diocese for $400,000. The suit had alleged the two men engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct, the Global Post has reported. Earlier this year, the Vatican sent a cardinal to

investigate problems in Livieres’ diocese, particularly concerning the seminary. The investigator reported back to Francis, and Livieres was summoned to Rome this week to discuss his future. Colleagues say he refused Vatican requests to resign, leaving Francis with what the Vatican said was the “onerous” decision to remove him. The Vatican said in a statement Thursday that Francis acted for the good of the church in the diocese and for the sake of unity among

Paraguayan bishops. He named Bishop Ricardo Jorge Valenzuela Rmos, a Paraguayan, to temporarily replace Livieres. There was no reference in the Vatican statement that Livieres’ removal had anything to do with Urrutigoity. Rather, the Vatican spoke of the need to maintain unity among Paraguay’s bishops, suggesting that political and ideological issues were of far greater concern to Rome and that Urrutigoity’s past was a secondary factor.

My minimalist life Long time readers may recall a series of columns, Mary’s Big Remodel (www.everydaycheapskate.co m/remodel), where I kept you up to date on the long and agonizing remodel of our home by my husband. What you may not know is that no sooner was the paint dry than we put the house up for sale. To our utter amazement it sold in about three hours. Yikes! We were only EVERYDAY testing CHEAPSKATE the water. But the offer was something we could not refuse. A n d now for the rest of the story Mary ... Hunt W e had 30 days to pack up 27 years of our lives, which we put into storage pending a decision on where we would eventually relocate. We kept out a few bare necessities and moved into a tiny apartment, where we lived for about 18 months. Did you get that ... a “few”? Clearly, I was not in my right mind when I decided what I would need in this microscopic kitchen. We’re talking a spatula, a wooden spoon and a rubber scraper. That’s about it in my tiny utensil drawer. And that spatula? It’s 44 years old. I know because it was part of a wedding gift set. It makes me laugh every single day. But that’s not all. I had to put my slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker and 99 percent of my kitchen into storage. That’s how small this place is. Don’t cry for me. We are having the time of our lives! I’m cooking more than ever and turning out some pretty amazing meals, if I do say so myself! It feels like being on vacation every day. I brought my Breville smart convection oven (www.everydaycheapskate.com/brevilleoven) because I cannot live without it, and this apartment does not have a stove (yeah, you heard me). We purchased two items that have pretty much changed the way I cook, and I plan to not change once we move to our new home next spring. I’d never heard of induction cooking. But the reviews and the energy savings (it costs only pennies to operate because it doesn’t produce any heat!) for this singleburner Max Burton induction cooktop (www.everydaycheapskate.com/induction) convinced me to give it a try. It plugs in, and I use it right on the counter. Amazing! Oh, how I love induction cooking. And, yes, I have one single burner. To round out my functional kitchen, I have a Breville Fast Slow Cooker (www.everydaycheapskate.com/fastslow). I couldn’t believe it when I found this honey of an appliance. Of course, you know that I am pretty much in love with anything from Breville, and this is no exception. It is a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer all in one. I can saute, sear, slow cook, pressure cook and keep warm (with a countdown timer) with this one single appliance. What a space saver! It just works. I love it so much, now I am thinking this may be all I’ll need in a regular— sized kitchen in the future. We’ll see how things go. But for now, this is the best thing ever for our new minimalist life. As for the future? It is very bright. I am so grateful that we have purchased a beautiful new home, and when I say “purchased,” that’s exactly what I mean. We bought this home that is located on a golf course with a drop-dead view of the Rocky Mountains, without a mortgage. It’s ours no matter what the future may hold. And that, my friends, is what can happen when you commit to living below your means and without debt. It can happen for you, too!

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2014 Success is at your doorstep. Your discipline and industriousness will bring you great dividends. Keep your eyes open for the right time to make your move. You may experience some small complications, but if you stick to your game plan, you will come out ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Try not to feel unsure and vulnerable. Don’t let emotions lead to an upsetting conflict or disagreement. You will regret it if you say the first thing that comes to mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Get matters out in the open. Sitting back and hoping problems will evaporate will get you nowhere. A bad situation will get worse if you don’t face unsettling business headon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Good fortune is all around you. Your creativity and imagination are at an all-time high. An unconventional partnership will give you the advantage you need to realize your dreams. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t let an encounter with someone upset you. If someone makes you uncomfortable, walk away and make an effort to carefully pick and choose your associates in the future. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You will ride an emotional high today. Your enthusiasm will infect everyone you come in contact with. You will receive a surprising declaration from someone you admire and respect. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be aware of devious dealings. Keep on top of professional or financial ups and downs in order to avoid a loss. Be prepared to make adjustments to your schedule on a moment’s notice.

Your sense of humor and quick wit will ease tension and make you the go-to person when a solution is required. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your future will be altered by a chance meeting. The ability to make others feel at ease will leave a good impression, allowing you to use persuasive tactics to get your way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Alter your living space and make it a comforting refuge where you can relax and rejuvenate. The input you get from relatives and friends will motivate you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s time to make changes to your routine. Explore different lifestyles, cultures and ideas. Your creativity will be reawakened if you interact with people from diverse backgrounds. MONDAY, SEPT. 29, 2014 You need to be money-conscious this year. Draw up a strict budget and stick to it. Set aside a small amount each month to save. By this time next year, you may be able to plan a special vacation or make the home improvements you’ve been yearning for. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Caution is key. Make sure you play by the rules. Being caught off-guard will end up costing you. Stick to the basics in order to lessen your stress. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Think fast and prepare to defend your actions. A person you thought was on your side will end up disappointing you. Cover your back and take care of business yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You will tire quickly if you try to keep up with everyone else. Take care of your responsibilities and let others do the same, and you’ll do just fine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Temptation will be your downfall.

BRIDGE To end this week’s look at various suit fits, a wild deal in which each side has a double fit. A double fit (almost always) produces more tricks than the point-count would suggest. And if one side has a double fit, so does the other. The usual guideline in these deals is to declare. First, though, look only at the West hand. What would you lead against six hearts doubled after that exciting

sequence? Once you have decided, study the full layout. What do you think of the auction? What is par — the result when both sides do as well as possible? If this deal were played at 10 tables, you would surely have 10 different auctions. First, East might jump straight to four spades. Although this risks missing a slam, it does make South’s life much harder. Here, if East did bid four spades, I guess South would compete with five diamonds. That would go back to East, who might suddenly be inconsistent, bidding six clubs. One minute, he is happy with game; the next, he is forcing to slam. In the given sequence, it is vital for South to bid five diamonds. When you know of a double fit, tell partner. North’s six-heart bid might turn a plus into a minus, but it avoids the risk of a big minus. Six hearts doubled is defeated by three tricks if East receives a diamond ruff and the defenders correctly cash their three black-suit tricks. Six spades will make if East guesses clubs correctly. The par result is seven diamonds doubled down three.

Dishwashers are for dishes, not for chemicals Dear Tom and Ray: My wife says using our dishwasher as a parts cleaner is hurting our dishwasher. I say it is not. But I have learned to run an empty load after a load of parts so that all the dishes in the next load washed do not taste like transmission fluid. It avoids the kids spitting out their milk like they have been poisoned. I also have learned the length of the wash cycle, so I can complete the process before my wife returns home. As a backup system, I have learned to set a timer so that I remember to remove the parts. I try to wipe all the transmission fluid, brake fluid, powersteering fluid or engine oil from the parts before washing them. The dishwasher really cleans those parts. Please settle this disagreement. — David RAY: I see two problems with this, David. Well, maybe more if you include your impending divorce and your kids hating you. TOM: Problem 1 is environmental: You’re washing petroleum products off of automotive parts, and sending them down the drain. RAY: That means they’re either contaminating your city’s rivers and streams, or that that stuff is going into your septic system and potentially leaching into your own groundwater. Neither one of those, if you think about it, is a good idea. TOM: Problem 2 is that you’re potentially poisoning your kids. The reason they spit out their milk like they’ve been poisoned is because you’re poisoning them: They’re ingesting small quantities of petroleum distillates. This is also, if you think about it, not a good idea. R A Y : The key words being “if you think about it.” TOM: If you really want to use a dishwasher to clean your car parts, then you need to set up a separate dishwasher in your garage with an appropriate way to capture the petroleum runoff. R A Y : My suggestion would be that you take the family dishwasher — the one you’ve already contaminated — and install that in the

CAR

TALK

TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI garage. Then buy your poor wife and kids a nice, clean, new one. TOM: And then, for a few hundred bucks, you can get a grease trap, which will separate out the contaminants from the waste water. Then you’ll have to make arrangements to have the grease trap emptied and the toxins disposed of legally and properly. RAY: And that doesn’t mean using them to water the tomatoes, David. TOM: If that sounds like too much trouble, a good alternative would be to make a deal with a local gas station or repair shop. Then when you need to clean parts, you pay them a few bucks to use their parts cleaner. They’ll have a grease trap and a contract with a hazardous waste disposal service that comes once a week, or once a month, to collect the grease and grime and haul it away. R A Y : And probably dump it down their own kitchen sink! TOM: Actually, no. Not unless they want to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. The EPA takes that stuff very seriously. RAY: But I’d say your dishwasher privileges are hereby suspended, David. Time to clean up your act and find another way to clean the parts.

This radio has a mind of its own Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 1999 Ford F-150 with 94,000 miles. The truck runs great, but I have a problem with the radio. Starting last Thanksgiving, the radio comes on all by

itself, even without the key in the ignition. It has happened at least half a dozen times since then. I’ve gotten to the point that I make sure the radio is physically turned off before I shut off the engine, so that if it does come on, it won’t run down the battery. My son suggested taking out the radio and cleaning the plug-in connectors, thinking they might be corroded and causing a short. But a local mechanic advised against this because of the truck’s anti-theft feature; he said if we disconnect the radio, we might possibly have to take it to a dealer to get it reprogrammed to work again. One thing I did notice is that when it happens, it usually is damp outside, which is why we suspect corrosion on the connecting terminals. Any help would be greatly appreciated. — Dennis TOM: You’ve heard of sleepwalking, right, Dennis? Well, maybe you’re walking out to the truck in the middle of the night and listening to the ballgame? RAY: I don’t think the radio connectors have anything to do with it. If they were corroded, your problem would more likely be that the radio would be turning off unexpectedly, rather than turning on. TOM: So I think what’s happening is that your truck is going into the ignition’s “accessory” mode sometimes, probably because of a faulty ignition relay. RAY: When you put the key in the ignition, there are several positions. There’s “off,” “accessory,” “run” and “start.” In accessory mode, only certain lowpower devices, like the radio, get power. That allows you to listen to the radio without killing your battery while you’re waiting for your wife to finish shopping at the bait-and-tackle shack. TOM: And for whatever reason (it could be corrosion), one of your ignition relays is closing on its own and putting the truck into accessory mode while you count sheep. RAY: You can figure out which relay it is by trial and

error. There are two powerdistribution centers in this truck, and each houses a bunch of relays. One is under the dash, and the

other one’s under the hood. TOM: Next time you find that the radio is getting power with the ignition off, pull out these relays one at a

time. And when the radio goes off, eureka! Then all you need to do is take that relay to an auto parts store and get a replacement.

There was no cause for worry In the spring, as we headed into the 2014 growing season, I was a little concerned. We’d just come off the driest winter in my (too considerable to admit) memory. It was so dry, in fact, that I shoveled snow only twice. A few minutes’ broom work took care of the piddling remainder. I didn’t crank up the snowblower even once. Now, normally, little would make me happier. Frigid cold — and it was REALLY cold last winter — is bad enough, but I hate shoveling snow nearly as much as I hate mowing the lawn. The only advantage shoveling has is that, even at it’s heaviest, it’s intermittent. Mowing is a once-a-week chore. But it turns out no snow can be pretty bad, too. Nearly every patch of vinca in the neighborhood died back to the ground (up until this year, I didn’t think you could kill vinca with dynamite), and even though most of it bounced back after the weather warmed and the rains came, it’ll be at least another year before it’s truly robust again. I wish I could say the same for the junipers and yews, including a couple of my own “evergreens” that came out of winter decidedly orange. The yews have a chance, but I’m not sure those normally

tough, hardy junipers will make it. Their dessicated carcasses in front HOUSE yards all over town stand in mute testament to the age-old advice of arborists e ve r y where: Be sure your STEVE shrubs and BATIE trees have adequate irrigation before they go into winter dormancy. Anyway, I was pretty worried about what this summer’s growing season would amount to. Happily, it wasn’t bad at all — not a little because we enjoyed quite a bit of “September” weather in late July and August. (I’m not sure we ever really did get an August; I barely had the air conditioning on at all during the summer.) The spring crop of snow peas was a total bust this year, but the purple-pod beans that replaced them for the rest of the season did just fine. The tomato and cucumber vines produced their little vegetative hearts out, keeping me and mine well-supplied with summer salad fixin’s, although the green peppers were largely anemic.

WORKS

HouseWorks by Steve Batie

I think they need to be in a sunnier spot now that the neighbor’s tree has started throwing more shade, so I’ll move them to the east end of the garden next year. Potatoes and onions produced their normal bumper crops, so my basement bins will be well stocked through most of the winter. I usually run out of hash browns in March. This year’s Pink Lady surprise lilies really did turn out to be a surprise. The patch was its normally robust leafy green in the spring, dying back to the ground by June as expected. But the bed stayed bare until August before a forest of pink blossoms burst forth over just three days — fully a month later than usual. Finally, wonder of wonders, I think the strawberry patch has recovered! Regular HouseWorks readers may recall that I’ve been trying to resuscitate that bed for the past three years, replanting it every spring, tending it lovingly through the summer and tucking it in for the winter — only to find it barren again by the following spring. But this year it looks good. Keep your fingers crossed. Send your questions to: HouseWorks, P.O. Box 81609, Lincoln, NE 68501, or email: houseworks@journalstar.com.

Superbad: For what looked to be a crass, “National Lampoon”-type movie, this 2007 comedy scored surprisingly good reviews. Seth and Evan (Jonah Hill, Michael Cera) have no social life to speak of, so they decide that as high-school seniors, the time has come to lose their virginity. Tomfoolery and ineptitude ensue.

Once Upon a Time: Characters from Disney’s “Frozen” make their way to Storybrooke as the fantasy drama’s fourth season begins with “A Tale of Two Sisters.” Those siblings — as anyone who knows the animated movie will suspect — are Elsa and Anna, brought to life by actresses Georgina Haig (“Reckless”) and Elizabeth Lail. Regina (Lana Parrilla) fears for her future with Robin Hood (guest star Sean Maguire) when Maid Marian (guest star Christie Laing) reappears.

Tuesday 9 p.m. on KLSR New Girl: Rob Reiner returns as Jess’ (Zooey Deschanel) father, who has a new girlfriend (guest star Kaitlin Olson, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) in the new episode “Julie Berkman’s Older Sister.” Jess and Cece (Hannah Simone) aren’t thrilled by his choice of companion, since during their high-school years, they had big problems with her. Wednesday 9 p.m. on KLSR Red Band Society: Jordi (Nolan Sotillo) gets an expected visitor

Bad Judge: Anne Heche is an executive producer of this new comedy, but she leaves the oncamera funny to “Private Practice” alum Kate Walsh, playing ... well, a bad judge, at least in terms of much of her personal conduct. She commands respect in her courtroom, though. A youngster (Theodore Barnes) whose parents she sent to jail may prove a positive influence on her after-hours behavior. Friday 10 p.m. on FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Host Guy Fieri confirms that some small towns in America have some very big food flavor in the new episode “Small Town Standouts.” In Parkland, Wis., for example, he finds a bar serving sandwiches stuffed with beef brisket and crispy pork belly, while an organic eatery in Jackson, Wyo. — near Yellowstone National Park — serves ethnic-inspired dishes like an Asian bison bowl.

For eight weeks, The World told the tale of our area in 40 stories. From Elkton to Gold Beach, from Coos Bay to Powers, World reporter Gail Elber wrote about things that make our area what it is. Some you can hold in your hand, such as an Empire clam. Some are industries that shape our area, such as logging. Some reflect a historical moment, such as Steve Prefontaine’s career. Others mark the cycle of the year, such as the Shore Acres Christmas lights. As the series unfolded, The World’s readers responded. Some suggested topics for the 40 stories. Others said they’d learned something new. More than one told us they took pride in our area when they read the stories. In “The White Album,” essayist Joan Didion wrote, “A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.” We hope these stories will help you claim this place as yours.

Fishermen have been harvesting Dungeness crab off the Oregon coast since the late 1800s. Today, a typical crab boat puts out 300-500 baited pots in 5 to 100 fathoms of water, leaving them out for one to four days before hauling them in. Legal-size crab are kept alive in a tank on the vessel until they are delivered to the processing plant. The season runs from December to August, but most of the catch comes in during the first two months. For many people on the West Coast, crab for Christmas is a family tradition. Fundraising crab feeds also enliven the winter — the Charleston Merchants Crab Feed each February raises money for the town’s visitor center and other local services. In the 2013-2014 season, Charleston fishermen received $10 million for landing 2.8 million pounds of crab, about 14 percent of Oregon’s total. Port Orford and Brookings/Gold Beach landed similar amounts. China’s appetite for Oregon’s crab has been increasing, boosting prices for fishermen. Although Dungeness crab can live for 10 years, most are about 4 years old when they’re harvested. After floating through several stages of life during which they don’t look anything like crab, dime-size juvenile crab settle to

the bottom along the coast and up estuaries and begin growing by molting. Only male crab above a certain size are harvested, leaving the young males and all the females to keep breeding. The Marine Stewardship Council has certified Dungeness crab as a sustainably fished species. Recreational fishermen also pursue crab, with smaller crab available from the docks and bigger crab found in the estuaries and the open ocean. Crabbers use baited pots or dangle snares from fishing rods. An annual summer crab derby in Bandon’s Coquille River estuary rewards recreational crabbers who catch tagged animals.

Why we call the Bay Area ‘home’

CRANBERRIES Oregon produces 40 million pounds of cranberries a year, and more than 90 percent of Oregon’s crop comes from Coos and Curry counties. Native Americans on Oregon’s northern coast gathered wild cranberries. But it wasn’t till 1885 that Massachusetts native Charles McFarlin realized that cranberries would thrive on Oregon’s sandy South Coast and planted the first vines. Commercial bogs were few until 1946, when the Ocean Spray cooperative expanded its operations to Oregon. Today, Coos and Curry counties have more than 150 cranberry farms. The area’s long growing season produces dark, sweet cranberries that are sought after both for fresh consumption and for manufactured

cranberry products. A cranberry bog is a depression surrounded by a dike with a natural or artificial impermeable layer underneath that allows it to be flooded. Once a cranberry vine is planted, with proper cultivation, it can produce fruit for more than 150 years. In spring, bees are brought to the cranberry farms to pollinate the flowers. The fruit grows all summer. Sometime between October and December, it is harvested by flooding the fields and using machinery to knock the fruit off the vines. The fruit floats to the surface and is gathered with a conveyor belt. Cranberries can also be harvested dry with mechanical equipment, a more labor-intensive process that allows the fruit to

keep better so it can be sold fresh. Although the South Coast’s small growers have good seasons and bad, cranberry growing is a South Coast industry that won’t go away. The city of Bandon has celebrated a Cranberry Festival each year since 1946.

Since 2000, Reedsport has hosted the Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculpting Championships every Father’s Day weekend. The Reedsport Chamber of Commerce pitches in to sponsor the event, which in 2014 drew 45 pro and semipro carvers and thousands of spectators. Spectators love the “quick-carve” part of the program, but serious carvers put many hours into their pieces, finishing them with a variety of hand and power tools. Carvers use saws with narrow bars that can be plunged into the wood without kicking back. On the west coast of North America, carvers commonly use Sitka spruce, Western red cedar and redwood for their creations. Although chainsaw carving was first documented in the 1950s, it has gained in popularity since the advent of the Internet, where would-be sculptors can learn from online demonstrations and share photos of their

work. Today, carvers gather for international competitions, with Japan, Germany, Russia and the Scandinavian countries sending many entrants. One notable carver on Oregon’s South Coast is Chris Foltz, of North Bend, an instructor at Oregon Coast Culinary Institute, who was already a champion ice carver before he ever put chainsaw to wood. He teaches ice carving at the institute, and he and his students consistently place high in ice carving competitions.

Community theater The South Coast supports several community theater groups. Little Theatre on the Bay (established in 1948) in North Bend, the Dolphin Players (established in 1979) in Coos Bay, Sawdust Theatre (established in 1966) in Coquille, Bandon Playhouse (established in 1976), Ellensburg Theater Company in Gold Beach, and Brookings Harbor Community Theater all delight their communities. Other theater groups may mount more serious productions, but

Sawdust Theatre represents the biggest undertaking. Every Friday and Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Sawdust Theatre puts on an 1890s-style melodrama. The audience is encouraged to hiss the villain, cheer the hero and “Ahhh” the heroine during an extravagantly silly play. Each year’s play is created by local writers, incorporating local history and current in-jokes. In addition to the melodrama, “olio” performers cavort on stage between the acts, dancers perform the cancan, and the audience participates in a sing-along before the show. Two complete casts alternate performances. Counting actors and support personnel, more than 1,400 people have participated in Sawdust Theatre in the past 48 years. A 1994 fire destroyed the troupe’s original home, the Roxy Theatre, and all its costumes and props, but the theater moved to its current location in 2000.

Myrtlewood (Umbellularia californica) is a tree with fragrant evergreen leaves that grows in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. Its lumber is notable for beautiful figuring and coloration, and since the 19th century, myrtlewood items have been the South Coast’s signature souvenir. Today, U.S. Highway 101 is home to many businesses that sell myrtlewood lumber and slabs as well as finished myrtlewood furniture and decorative items. About 500,000 board feet of myrtlewood are processed each year. Our myrtlewood, also known as California bay laurel, is no relation to Myrtus communis, the myrtle mentioned in Isaiah 55:13 as a useful and beautiful species — “Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree.” And it’s only a cousin of Laurus nobilis, the fragrant “green bay tree” that the wicked flourish like in Psalm 37:35. Nevertheless, some myrtlewood gift shops perpetuate the canard that sailors of Sir Francis Drake’s Pacific expedition planted myrtlewood seeds from the Holy Land when they visited the California coast in 1579. It takes 150 years for a myrtlewood tree to reach 16 inches in diameter. Oregon’s largest myrtlewood tree is at the end of the Myrtle Tree Trail about 10 miles east of Gold Beach. The Myrtlewood Factory Showroom in Hauser, started in 1911, claims to be the oldest surviving myrtlewood manufacturer.

ALBACORE Albacore tuna are among the ocean’s most powerful swimmers. Young albacore traverse the Pacific each year, and full-grown albacore can swim at 50 mph for short distances. They can live up to 12 years and attain weights of up to 90 pounds, preying on smaller fish. Each spring, albacore are hatched in the warm waters of the western Pacific. Many of them, especially the juveniles that are 2 to 5 years old, migrate annually across the North Pacific in spring, down the coast of Washington and Oregon in summer, and back across the Pacific to Asia. Tuna were first commercially canned in 1903. In recent decades, changes in oceanographic conditions have shifted the center of West Coast albacore fishing from California to Oregon and Washington. In 2013, tuna accounted for 21 percent of Oregon’s commercial fishing revenue. Charleston landed 18.7 percent of Oregon’s tuna, Winchester Bay hauled in 1.5 percent, and Port Orford landed 0.21 percent. In summer, bringing a cooler down to the dock and watching an expert loin tuna for you to take home on ice is an annual ritual for both tourists and locals. When the migrating fish pass close enough to shore, which doesn’t happen every year, recreational fishermen can enjoy catching these mighty fish themselves.

The winds of summer Why is the coast so windy in summer? Marty Giles, a naturalist who runs Wavecrest Discoveries, often has to explain the phenomenon to guests of her tour business. In the summer, the waters of the north Pacific are cooler than the land. Above these cool waters is a mass of cool, highpressure air called the North Pacific High. “Since winds around high pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere rotate in a clockwise direction, our eastern edge of the Pacific gets the north-tosouth part of the wind gyre — cold summer winds,” Giles explained. In winter, the land is cooler than the north Pacific waters, and the air above the north Pacific rises, creating a low-pressure system off our shore. “Winds around

low-pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere rotate in a counter-clockwise direction, bringing warm moist air from the south to our wintry shore.” When this warm, moist air encounters the colder air over the land, it drops its moisture as our abundant winter rain. In addition to this large-scale air movement, on a sunny summer day, as warm air rises off the land, cool ocean air flows toward the land to take its place. The hotter the sun, the faster the ocean air rushes toward the land. Winds are lowest when the temperatures of land and water are closest, so head for the beach or paddle a coastal lake in the morning. The closer temperatures between land and water in autumn also give September our best weather.

SHIPWRECKS Many shipwrecks have figured in the history of the South Coast. For instance, the first non-native settlement in Coos County was Camp Castaway, built in 1852 on Coos Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Spit by the soldiers and crew of the wrecked schooner Captain Lincoln. The schooner was bringing troops to Port Orford when it was beached in a storm. With the help of natives, the crew and soldiers built a tent city on the sand and lived there for five months until another ship came to pick up the supplies and the troops finished their journey to Port Orford on foot. In contrast, the 1915 wreck of the steam schooner Santa Clara off the South Spit of the bay brought unpleasant notoriety to Coos Bay. Fourteen passengers and crewmen died when their lifeboats capsized in the surf. When the weather cleared, townspeople arrived to aid the survivors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to illegally loot the cargo. They even tried to dynamite the ship to

Shore Acres State Park get i n to t h e holds, destroying much of the cargo in the process. The most troublesome wreck of recent years was that of the New Carissa, an empty chip freighter that ran aground on the North Spit in 1999. Leaking fuel killed wildlife and the bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial oyster crop, and when the remaining fuel was burned, the ship split into two parts. The bow was towed to Waldport, but the stern remained off Horsfall Beach until 2008, when it was salvaged. The book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shipwrecks of Coos County,â&#x20AC;? by H.S. Contino, is a fascinating picture history of more than 100 local wrecks.

Shore Acres State Park was originally the estate of lumber tycoon and North Bend founder Louis B. Simpson. A three-story mansion was built in 1907, and the gardens were

stocked with exotics brought from around the world on Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ships. When his wife died and the home burned in 1921, Simpson began building a bigger one,

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Welcome to North Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign In 2011, the city of North Bend installed the current â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to North Bend/Come Back to North Bendâ&#x20AC;? sign at the north entrance to town. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latest in a succession of signs that have graced that location since 1936. The original sign and its successors underwent various repairs and improvements, but too often, in the rainy and windy coastal climate, they welcomed visitors to NO TH B ND. The original sign was red neon, but it was changed to green at some point. The current sign is a red neon replica installed on new support pylons closer to the bridge than the original. When engineers deemed the old sign and its pylons unsafe, the city considered erecting a sign using modern LED technology. But tradition won out. The Oregon Department of Transportation also kept tradition in mind when it â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandfathered inâ&#x20AC;? installation of the new sign. The 1936 sign was one of the last over-the-highway neon signs ever approved in the state. Art Deco doodads on the new sign and the design of the new pylons reflect the style of the iconic McCullough Bridge nearby. The city donated the previous sign to the Coos County Historical and Maritime Museum.

North Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neon sign, pictured circa 1930, over Sherman Avenue is one of the few that arches over a state or federal highway.

moving into it in 1928 with his new wife and their two daughters. But the 1929 crash and the depression that followed took Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s properties, including Shore Acres. In 1942, the mortgage holder sold Shore Acres to the state of Oregon for a park. The house was razed in 1948. Today the gardens have been restored and, in the sheltered setting, something is in bloom almost every day of the year. Visitors can stroll the paths, climb down to the beach, or watch the surf from the enclosed observation structure on the former site of the Simpson residence. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all. In 1987, the Friends of Shore Acres strung their first 6,000 miniature lights, put up a Christmas tree, and decorated the Garden House. Nine thousand visitors came to ooh and aah. Contrast that with 2013, when 1,500 volunteers decorated the Garden House, strung 300,000 LED lights, decorated 26 Christmas trees, placed dozens of landscape lights and erected dozens of light sculptures, including moving animals and underwater displays. Local musicians sang and played carols in the pavilion. Between Thanksgiving and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve, 48,000 visitors toured the lights. Now, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of volunteer labor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and several hundred thousand oohs and aahs.

In the late 19th century, settlers along the tidewaters of the Coos and Coquille rivers built dikes along the riverbanks, creating flat and fertile pastures where cattle throve. Steamboats rushed fresh milk from hundreds of dairies downriver to Bandon, Marshfield and North Bend, where it was turned into cheese and ice cream and shipped up and down the coast. Bandon’s cheese industry started around 1880, growing to support a dozen cheese factories. In North Bend, a big milk buyer was Cutlip’s Ice Cream Co. Also notable was the Langlois cheese factory, one of the first U.S. makers of cow’s milk blue cheese, which prospered until the factory burned in 1957. After the second Bandon fire in 1936 destroyed the cheese factories, the Coquille Valley Dairy Cooperative built the Bandon Cheese factory. The factory, where visitors could buy cheese and watch it being made, was a popular stop for both tourists and locals. At one point, it used the milk from 30 dairies. But business declined in the 1980s, and it was sold to Tillamook Cheese, which closed the factory in 2002 and razed it. Eleven years later, the city of Bandon helped investors Greg Drobot and Daniel Graham start Face Rock Creamery on the Bandon Cheese site, with Brad Sinko, son of Bandon Cheese’s last owner, at the cheesemaking helm. Face Rock buys all its milk from the Scolari family’s dairy farm near Coquille, in business since 1925. Although dairy farms are fewer these days along the Coos and Coquille rivers, the demand for organic milk has created a dairy renaissance. Today, 4,000 dairy cows live in Coos a n d Curry counties. The beef cattle industry also thrives, with 26,400 head typically roaming the two counties’ pastures.

The Coquille Indian Tribe The Coquille Indian Tribe is the federally recognized tribe of the Coquille and Coos people, which encompasses several groups and subtribes. As early as 8,000 years ago, people lived in permanent villages on Oregon’s South Coast, living primarily by fishing and collecting shellfish. In the 1850s, the native inhabitants, including the Coquille, came into conflict with miners who sought gold in the area, and most members of local tribes were marched to the Coastal Indian Reservation north of Florence. Some of their descendants remained on the reservation, some returned, and others were scattered. In 1954, the U.S. government terminated its recognition of the Coquille, who numbered only 271 at that time. For decades, the Coquille, like many other tribes, sought restoration of their tribal status. When they attained it in

The dunes The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area stretches 40 miles from Florence to Coos Bay. Until the middle of the 20th century, the dunes were largely flat and bare. Drifting sand buried roads and buildings near the dunes. People camped and fished on the dunes, and an early bus route ran along the beach from Coos Bay to Florence. After World War II, people began modifying military vehicles and Volkswagens for roaring around on the dry sand. The dunes themselves began to change as the U.S. Forest Service planted European

1989, the tribe formed a government and purchased land in its traditional territory in Coos County, where it has created a reservation with housing and services and started businesses. It also has stewardship of an additional 5,400 acres, held in trust by the federal government, which the tribe manages along guidelines that balance timber production with ecological sustainability. The tribe has nearly a thousand members, of whom more than 250 live on the tribe’s reservation in Barview, called Kilkich. Tribal enterprises include The Mill Casino-HotelRV Park, Coquille C ra n b e r r i e s , and ORCA

beachgrass to stabilize the sand. Soon, the dunes assumed their modern profile, with a tall, grassy foredune that collects sand blowing in from the beach. Behind it, a low, swampy forest grows where the wind has eroded the sand away to the water table. In 1972, President Richard Nixon created the Oregon Dunes NRA, the nation’s first such area. With the development of better offhighway vehicles, the area soon saw hundreds of thousands of dune-riding visitors a year. The sport gained a reputation for unruly behavior, but in the 1990s, alcohol was banned and camping was restricted in the dunes, and OHV riding is now a family-friendly sport.

Communications, making it the second largest employer in Coos County.

Organized racing is available, with the ReedsportWinchester Bay Chamber of Commerce organizing a five-day DuneFest every year. The spread of beachgrass and the encroachment of forests are making the dunes

smaller, and OHV riders must coexist with other human and animal users of the dunes. Half the dunes are now closed to riding, and experimental efforts have been made to remove beachgrass to preserve snowy plover nesting habitat.

Oysters

Olympia oysters are native to the whole Pacific coast. But when white settlers first arrived on the Coos Bay estuary, they found no oysters. Here, the Olympia oysters had been wiped out by sediment deposited in some natural event, possibly a tsunami or forest fire. Elsewhere on the coast, harvest-

ing Olympias was big business. But by the beginning of the 20th century, that species had been overharvested, so larger Pacific oysters from Japan began to be commercially farmed in Oregon and Washington. In 1937, the Qualman family were the first to farm oysters on Coos Bay, and the industry thrives here to this day. Pacific oysters can’t spawn at South Coast temperatures, so oyster larvae, called “spat,” are obtained from hatcheries. The spat are allowed to attach themselves to oyster shells, and then grown in bags or on hanging ropes in Coos Bay and Winchester Bay. Depending on the size desired, the oysters mature in two to four years. In the 1980s, biologists were surprised to find Olympia oysters growing in Coos Bay once again. They

Music festivals The Oregon Coast Music Festival was started in 1978 by Dr. Charles Heiden, a retired music professor, as a single performance of Haydn’s Little Organ Mass. By 1981, it had become a three-day Haydn festival. It has grown since, and today the festival offers two weeks of diverse music in several venues. The festival’s centerpiece is a week of concerts by the 80-piece festival orchestra, many of whose musicians return year after year

deduced that juvenile Olympia oysters hitchhiked to Coos Bay on the shells of Pacific oysters shipped from Willapa Bay in Washington for commercial culture. The Olympias then spawned, and their larvae settled elsewhere in the bay. They’ve been found along the North Bend, Coos Bay and Eastside waterfronts and in Haynes Inlet. In addition to producing a delicious harvest, oyster farming improves water quality and species diversity. The mollusks filter algae from the water, and their shells provide habitat for other animals. Wild oysters are likewise good for the bay, so researchers from South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve are experimenting with introducing more Olympias to Coos Bay and the South Slough.

from all over the United States and western Canada. More than 5,000 people attend the festival each year. The festival is managed by the Oregon Coast Music Association, which also provides other events throughout the year, including a KinderKonzert program that brings musicians to local schools and a new scholarship and instrument program for students. There’s no shortage of other music festivals bringing out-of-town talent to the coast. The South Coast Clambake Jazz Festival started in 1988 as a Dixieland event and has since branched out into other genres. The South Coast Celtic Fest offers a day of music and culture from the Celtic nations. BBQ Blues and Brews on the Bay at The Mill Casino-Hotel and RV Park gives us the blues, in a good way. This summer, the inaugural Cape Blanco Country Music Festival attracted 15,000 people. Other nonprofits bring touring musicians here all year. Music on the Bay presents weekly outdoor concerts in Coos Bay every September. Bandon Showcase brings performers to the Sprague Theater in Bandon. Further south, the Pistol River Concert Association and the Mildred Hill Concerts keep the music coming in Curry County. And since 1937, the Coos County Community Concert Association has brought an annual season of world-class performers to Marshfield High School.

COQUILLE CAROUSEL Who doesn’t like carousels? The National Carousel Association counts 386 operating carousels in North America. Some Northwest communities, such as Portland and Spokane, have had their carousel for more than a century. In other cities, such as Salem and Albany, carousels have become a communitybuilding project. Ken Means, a college art professor, got carousel fever in the 1970s. He moved to Coquille and started carving carousel figures. Soon, he was teaching three-week workshops on the subject and serving as a consultant to communities building carousels. In 1993, Means started pitching the idea of a community-built destination carousel for Coquille. The idea resonated with local boosters who saw a good fit with the community’s vintage storefronts and Gay ‘90s Celebration. In 2013, a committee formed to make the carousel happen. They envision a $2 million carousel on the Riverwalk, with 38 animals and a band organ — the mechanical orchestra that makes carousels’ distinctive music. Says their website: “Our goal is: to promote Coquille as a destination for visitors to Oregon’s South Coast; to provide a classic attraction and entertainment experience for families and children in Coquille; to educate the public and children on the historical significance of forestry and the timber industry to the City of Coquille; and to preserve the knowledge and skills of woodcarving locally which will aid in the care and maintenance of the carousel.” In addition to raising funds for the carousel, the committee currently is hosting carving workshops at its storefront on Central Avenue and gathering design information.

For native people and early settlers, huge salmon runs along Oregon’s coastal rivers were part of the year’s rhythm. The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw hold a salmon ceremony each August to welcome the fall Chinook run, and the Coquille Tribe hosts the Mill-Luck Salmon Celebration at the Mill Casino Hotel each September, with a traditional salmon bake. Even without those observances, no one could miss the fall salmon run that draws anglers to the Umpqua, Coos, Coquille and Rogue rivers. Local and visiting boats are thick on the water in August and September, and the Coos Bay waterfront is crowded with the lawn chairs of teenagers and other boatless anglers. Where else can you stand on the bank in the middle of downtown, throw a line in the water and reel in a 20pound salmon? From the 1880s until

Coos, Lower Umpqua & Siuslaw Indians

1958, populations of Chinook salmon, their smaller cousins the coho, and their distant relations the steelhead (a seagoing trout) were devastated by splash dam logging. Loggers built temporary dams on mountain streams and collected logs in the resulting ponds, then broke the dams to wash the logs downstream to the mill. The resulting floods scoured away salmon habitat. Loggers now take measures to preserve the shady gravels and submerged snags that salmon need. But both human and natural factors still threaten salmon pop-

The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians trace their ancestry from the Hanis-speaking Coos of latter-day North Bend, the Milukspeaking Coos of the South Slough, the Lower Umpqua, who lived along the Umpqua River, and the Siuslaw, who lived along the Siuslaw River. White trappers contacted the tribes in 1820, bringing smallpox and measles that wiped out whole villages. After conflicts with white miners, South Coast tribes signed the Treaty of 1855, agreeing to give up their lands in exchange for compensation. But Congress never ratified the treaty, and most tribal members were moved to the Siletz reservation farther up the coast. When they were allowed to return home in 1876, white settlement had made their old way of life impossible, and those who

ulations. In an effort to stabilize them, Oregon’s Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program enlists volunteers to run hatcheries, count fish and restore habitat. Coos County schoolchildren learn about this species by donning waders to wrestle hatchery salmon during field trips. In April through August, commercial fishermen troll off the Oregon coast for salmon that originate in California rivers. After the practically fishless years of 2006-2008, catches are on the rise, though they’re half what they were in the 1980s.

Coos Bay Speedway In 1908, the first automobile arrived in Coos Bay via the Coos Bay Wagon Road. If we knew the date the second automobile arrived, we’d know for certain when auto racing began on the South Coast. Nevertheless, the 1973 opening of Coos

Bay Speedway inaugurated modern auto racing here. By the 2000s, the track was languishing. Then current owner Chuck Prather Jr. bought the facility. In 2007, in response to the results of a fan survey, Prather converted the track from asphalt to dirt. Dirt track racing emphasizes driver skills over equipment, and the change enabled local drivers to get into the game and energized the fans. Today, Coos Bay Speedway is the Oregon Coast’s only auto racing facility. Although the oval track’s sprint car races draw the biggest crowds, the facility also hosts drag racing on its

returned had to find a place in the new farming and timber economy. Many of their descendants kept their tribal identity alive, forming a tribal government in 1916. In 1941, the Bureau of Indian Affairs took into trust for them a privately donated 6-acre parcel in Coos Bay, where a tribal hall was erected. However, the federal government terminated recognition of the tribe in 1954. The tribe maintained its facilities and lobbied for its sovereignty to be restored, which happened in 1984. By 1987 the tribe had a constitution, and its Three Rivers Casino and Hotel in Florence opened in 2004. Although the tribe’s quest to regain forest lands from federal property in the area has not yet succeeded, the tribe is building a new casino along Ocean Boulevard in Coos Bay, recently bought the former Camp Easter Seals on North Tenmile Lake, and is working on plans to develop visitor facilities at the Hollering Place in Empire.

On periodic “lucky rides” nights, kids can cram into the cars and the drivers take them for a couple of laps — “let them hear the noise and feel the thunder,” Nelson said.

Gold When a storm uncovered goldbearing black sands at Gold Beach in 1851, the news drew a horde of prospectors to the coast between Cape Arago and Gold Beach. An 1853 gold discovery at Whiskey Run Beach north of Bandon attracted more than a thousand miners, making it the coast’s biggest gold camp. After a winter storm buried the Whiskey Run deposits in sand, the miners moved on. Most of the South Coast’s gold miners were men from the Willamette Valley or California who followed reports of gold strikes from place to place. They had little respect for the Indians who lived on the coast, and they often attacked native women and destroyed natives’ property.

Nasomah massacre near the current site of Bandon, which led to the removal of most of the Coquilles to the Coast Reservation farther up the coast. While individual miners focused on surface gold deposits near the water, commercial operations developed to uncover buried gold sands at higher elevations along the coast. These sand mines prospered in the 1800s and were reopened in the 1930s, when the Great Depression made gold mining more profitable. In recent years, soaring gold prices have drawn hobby prospectors to the coastal streams and the beach placers, with everything from gold pans to suction dredges. Concerns about the effects of gold dredging on fish habitat have led to state restrictions on dredging in streams. Gold mining clubs have become active in telling their side of the fish-habitat story, encouraging good environmental practices among miners and asserting their rights under federal mining law.

Powers Action Team Volunteers enrich every aspect of life on the South Coast, and Powers Action Team is a great example. Originally called the Community Response Team, the group started in Powers around 1990 to organize the community’s participation in the Tour de Fronds, a cycling event that at the time extended from Glendale in Douglas County to Powers. When Glendale and other participating organizations pulled out, Powers Action Team took over, changed the route and revitalized the event. Powers Action Team’s projects benefit both children and adults. It acquired Ross Hall, at 370 Third Ave., from the Royal Neighbors of America fraternal organization and turned it into a community center, where groups

can meet and children can take art lessons. It raised the money to build cabins at Powers County Park and obtained funds for the translator antenna that supplies over-the-air television to Powers. It organizes children’s activities at White Cedar Days, puts on a fall music festival called Blackberry Jam, and organizes a townwide garage sale. The group funded a children’s mural on the Powers Library and a park and picnic shelter downtown, also decorated by children. Much of the organization’s funding comes from its thrift store at 418 Second Ave., open 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Tuesday and Saturday. The thrift store also offers kids a free back-to-school shopping day and a free Christmas shopping day.

SHIPBUILDING Californian Asa Simpson arrived in North Bend following the gold rush and, from 1858 to 1903, his shipyard built vessels that carried the area’s lumber, coal and cheese to San Francisco. The Coos Bay Shipbuilding Company and Kruse & Banks filled military contracts during World War I, but the end of that war sent all wooden shipbuilding into a decline. Still, Kruse & Banks had a last hurrah building wooden minesweepers during World War II. In the age of steel, Hillstrom Shipbuilding flourished from 1940 to 1979, building first military craft and then fishing vessels and tugs. By the 1990s, limitations on Alaskan fisheries and dwindling local demand had becalmed the South Coast’s shipbuilding industry. But these days, it’s picking up speed. Southern Oregon Marine Inc., a subsidiary of ocean towing firm Sause Bros., employs more than 70 people building and repairing barges and tugs. Giddings Boat Works and Skallerud Marine in Charleston together employ around 40 people building fishing and recreational boats, and Fred Wahl Marine Construction in Reedsport employs another 50. Another big employer in shipbuilding is Freeman Marine Equipment in Gold Beach, which manufactures hatches, doors, port lights and windows. If offshore wind power installations prove feasible, they could provide new work for local builders. On the Empire waterfront, the Coos Bay Boat Building Center preserves the art of wooden boat building. Hobbyists can learn to build small boats there, and bigger projects are in the works. The center also facilitates our annual visits from the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport’s tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain.

Seeing what a high tide has left on shore never gets old for tourists and locals alike. After spending time in the sea, junk transforms into cryptic messages from beyond the horizon. How long has that glass float been circling the Pacific? How did this light bulb survive in the surf? Who is missing a shoe, and is he or she OK? The 2011 Fukushima tsunami prompted concern that a wave of debris would wash over our shores. The bigger objects — boats, docks, part of a Japanese temple gate — seem to have arrived already, but light debris is still arriving. Of course, we generate plenty of beach junk right here, and Bandon artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi has created the Washed Ashore Project (washedashore.org) to educate people about marine debris and plastic pollution through art. Pozzi and her volunteers have created whimsical sculptures of plastic beach junk that travel along with

educational material about the problem of plastic pollution. Not everything on the beach is junk, of course. Beachgoers can marvel at great drifts of Velella jellyfish, long whips of kelp and a variety of bones, shells and carapaces. Agates are plentiful on the South

Coast, and fossil shells, bone and petrified wood are also common here. A concise and interesting guide to common things found on the beach is “Flotsam, Jetsam, and Wrack,” downloadable at http://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/sgpubs/o nlinepubs/g01002.pdf.

LNG

Our descendants may look back on the early 21st century and say, “Thank goodness our forebears built the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, which started the Bay Area Renaissance.” Or they might say, “Alas, now we see why no other community wanted an LNG terminal. It ruined the fishing/despoiled the pipeline route/didn’t create j o b s / w e n t bankrupt/washed away in the tsunami/devastated the community in the Bay Area Blast.” Or they might even say, “The LNG plant? Oh, I

remember that idea. Wasn’t that the one between the coal train and the Marijuana Enterprise Zone?” No one knows. Meanwhile, the prospect of building a liquefied natural gas export terminal on the North Spit of Coos Bay has set off a culture war. AntiLNG champions wonder how

the project has sneaked past all those regulatory agencies when the hazards are obvious to them. Pro-LNG boosters have invested in an immense number of lawn signs and are now fighting about how to spend the pile of money they anticipate getting from the plant. The best thing about the LNG

controversy? It’s made thousands of people think about their priorities for the community. No matter what happens at Jordan Cove, some people will be disappointed. But they’ll be energized to help create the future they want for the Bay Area, instead of just letting it happen.

Commercial shrimp harvesting on the South Coast began in 1957, when Dick Lilienthal of Charleston and his son Rick started finding shrimp in their net while trawling for other species. Soon, other fishermen joined the Lilienthals in trawling for shrimp. When local seafood processors installed high-speed shrimp picking and shelling equipment, modern double-rig shrimp trawlers flooded the South Coast. In international waters, Russian trawlers got into the act. Nowadays, shrimp is Oregon’s second biggest fishery, trailing only Dungeness crab. Charleston has led the state in landings for the past five years. During the season from April to October, boats tow two nets 75-125 fathoms deep slightly above the bottom during the day, while shrimp are resting there. The nets are emptied onto a conveyor belt for sorting, and the shrimp are held on ice in the hold until they’re delivered to the processor’s dock.

Oregon’s was the first shrimp fishery anywhere to receive the Marine Stewardship Council’s sustainability certification because of the fishermen’s success at keeping other species — called bycatch — out of their nets. This is done with aluminum grids or soft panels and, in a technique discovered just this summer, by attaching lights to the trawl line.

WHALE WATCHING The Pacific Ocean’s gray whales were hunted almost to extinction in the 1800s. Early in the 1900s, the Mexican government began protecting their birthing lagoons, and the species was protected by international agreement in the 1930s. Today the eastern Pacific’s population is thriving, though the western Pacific’s population is still considered endangered. Although hunting is very limited, whales are vulnerable to pollution, entanglement in nets, and noisy activities that drive them away from their feeding grounds. About 18,000 gray whales pass close to the Oregon coast twice a year. In December and January, they’re heading for the coast of Mexico to birth their young, and in March through June they’re on their way back to the Bering and Chukchi seas where they feed in the summer. About 200 of them stay off the Pacific Northwest coast all summer to feed. Humpback, blue, sperm and minke whales can also be seen on occasion. During winter and spring school breaks, volunteers in the Oregon and Washington State Parks’ “Whale Watching Spoken Here” program staff 26 points along the Oregon, Washington and California coasts, including Shore Acres State Park, Face Rock Scenic Viewpoint and Battle Rock Wayside. They count whales, help visitors spot them and interpret their behavior. Cetaceophiles who want to volunteer can attend a training offered each December; email whale.watching@oregon.gov. Morning is best for whale watching because the sun at your back helps illuminate blows, and high elevations command a view of more water. For a closer look, contact the Coos Bay Area, Bandon or Port Orford Chamber of Commerce to find a whale watching cruise or flight.

lations at sea. The first federal lifesaving station on the Oregon coast was built southwest of Cape Arago in 1878, and moved to the North Spit of Coos Bay in 1891 and then to Charleston in 1968. Federal lifesaving stations were established at the mouth of the Coquille and Umpqua rivers in the 1890s. Rescue aircraft had to be dispatched from Astoria until 1974, when the Coast Guard established what was

U.S. Coast Guard The U.S. Coast Guard is an important part of life on the South Coast. Its duties include rescuing endangered mariners and beachgoers by boat and helicopter, patrolling for law enforcement and national defense, and enforcing safety and fisheries regu-

Empire clams Tresus capax is known to some as the gaper, blue or horse clam. But around here it’s called the Empire clam, named after Empire, the onceprominent port on Coos Bay that was supplanted by the shipping facilities of North Bend and Marshfield. Every June, the Empire neighborhood celebrates its connection to the gaper clam with a Clamboree, featuring clam delicacies from Oregon Coast C u l i n a r y Institute, among others. The “gape” in an Empire clam’s shells accommodates the clam’s long siphon, which allows

it to live so deep in the sand that few predators can reach it. It also provides access for the gaper pea crab that human predators find in many Empire clams. These crab set up housekeeping inside a clam in pairs, but the female soon grows too large to leave the clam and spends the rest of her life there. The male, however, remains small and can go from clam to clam. Extra-low tides bring out amateur clammers a couple of times a month. If you’d like to learn to clam, clam whisperer Bill Lackner offers books and equipment at www.clamdigging.info and periodically offers “clam clinics” in the area. For years, commercial clam harvesting was absent from Coos Bay, and even local restaurateurs had to rely on farmed or imported clams. But Empire clams recently returned to local menus thanks to West Coast Clams of Coos Bay, which employs divers to gather the delicacy. If you don’t want to get muddy, you can get their Empire clams at FIshermen’s Market under the Coos Bay boardwalk.

then called Coast Guard Air Station North Bend. Today, Sector North Bend is responsible for 220 miles of coastline between Pacific City and the California border. It has 153 active duty personnel, nine reservists and five civilian employees. Its resources include the Aids to Navigation Team that maintains lighthouses, buoys and other signals, Station Coos Bay in Charleston, Station Umpqua River in Winchester Bay, Station Chetco River in Brookings, and seasonal search and rescue detachments in Gold Beach and Bandon. Six motor lifeboats, five Dolphin helicopters and the 110-foot Coast Guard Cutter Orcas are at its disposal.

Built in 1925, Coos Bay’s Egyptian Theatre is one of the few 1920s Egyptian Revival theaters to survive nearly a century of change in public tastes. Harry Noble and H.J. Clark built the building’s shell in 1922. In the wake of World War I, building supplies were rationed for essential construction only, and ornate movie theaters weren’t allowed. So they called it the Motor Inn Garage and Service Station. When building restrictions were lifted, Noble and Clark began turning the structure into an Egyptian-style movie palace. The 1922 discovery of King Tut’s tomb had captivated the public’s imagination, and about 100 Egyptian-style theaters were built across North America in this era. Generations have enjoyed the Egyptian, posing for pictures on the Pharoah’s lap and thrilling to the mighty Wurlitzer organ. The theater originally held 1,274, but several remodels have reduced the capacity to 770. In 2005, the theater was closed. In 2006, the City of Coos Bay bought the building and contracted with the nonprofit Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association to operate it. In 2010, the Egyptian was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2011, structural defects forced closing of the theater. But ETPA raised a million dollars to restore the building, raising the community’s awareness of this landmark. In 2014, the Egyptian reopened and is once again hosting movies, concerts and public events.

Scotch broom & gorse

They’re beautiful. They’re exotic. And it’s hard to say “no” to them. Both Scotch broom and gorse are botanical invaders that have been the target of extensive eradication efforts, but they’re so persistent that they’ve become a characteristic sight all over the South Coast. Gorse was introduced by Lord George Bennett, an Irish peer who helped found the town of Bandon in the 1870s. Gorse reminded Bennett of his homeland, but it rapidly formed immense thickets up and down the coast. The highly flammable shrub was blamed for spreading the great fire that destroyed Bandon in 1936. Scotch broom came to Oregon with early settlers as a garden ornamental and took off as a noxious weed after it was planted to stabilize soil on highway embankments. Both plants are members of the pea family, with showy yellow flowers that turn into fuzzy pods. Gorse has stiff, thorny stems that form thickets impenetrable to humans or large

animals. Scotch broom is poisonous to cattle and changes soil chemistry so that even if it is pulled up or killed with herbicides, other plants have a hard time recolonizing the area. Both plants destroy habitat that native plants and animals need. Agricultural authorities have introduced seed weevils to fight Scotch broom, and landowners attack it with herbicides and manual pulling. Gorse laughs at seed weevils, but is susceptible to herbicides and goats.

MCCULLOUGH BRIDGE The graceful bridge that carries travelers over Coos Bay into North Bend is the longest of eleven bridges designed by Conde McCullough and built by the federal Public Works Administration in the 1930s. Completed in 1936 and known as the North Bend Bridge, it was renamed for McCullough after his death in 1947. Before 1936, travelers had to take a ferry across the bay from North Bend to Glasgow. For years, the ferry ran only in summer because the coastal roads were impassable to cars in winter until construction of U.S. Highway 101 began in 1921. Although a drawbridge was originally proposed for the site, that idea was also rejected because the bridge would have to be opened too often. Instead, McCullough designed a structure that soars 150 feet over the water

and stretches 5,305 feet, including the approach spans. McCullough’s design has drawn recognition for its beauty. The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Since 2007, the bridge has been undergoing renovations. Deteriorated sections of concrete have been replaced with new material, and the bridge is receiving an electrically charged layer of zinc that will prevent seawater from corroding the steel rebar in the existing concrete. As part of the renovations, the bridge’s Art Deco concrete guardrails were replaced with new, stronger ones. The old rails were sold to the public or donated for public projects, and many sections can be seen in front of homes and businesses in the area.

Steve Prefontaine Although Coos Bay has produced its share of standouts in industry, arts and sport, runner Steve Prefontaine is still one of the area’s best-known celebrities. Prefontaine was undefeated in cross country and track his final two years at Marshfield and lost just one race during his college career at the University of Oregon. He represented the United States at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, placing fourth in the 5,000 meter race. When he died in a car accident at age 24 in 1975, Prefontaine held every American record between 2,000 and 10,000 meters. The last of those records — the Olympic Trials 5,000 meters — wasn’t broken until 2012, 40 years after it was set.

Supporting himself as a bartender during and after college, he was a leading critic of the Amateur Athletic Union’s strict rules preventing Olympic-bound athletes from receiving sponsorship. He was the first athlete paid by Nike to wear its shoes. An elite international track and field meet, the Prefontaine Classic, is held every year at the University of Oregon. Mere mortals can compete each September in the Prefontaine Memorial Run in Coos Bay, a hilly 10K race over one of Prefontaine’s favorite training routes. Prefontaine has been the subject of two biographical films, “Prefontaine” (1997) and “Without Limits” (1998), as well as a documentary, “Fire on the Track” (1995).

ROOSEVELT ELK Roosevelt elk are the largest elk in North America, found in the coastal forests of the Northwest. Because winters on the coast are mild and forage is abundant, Roosevelt elk don’t migrate the way other elk do. Those stay-at-home habits enabled creation of the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area on Oregon Highway 38 three miles east of Reedsport. When the property was a ranch, a herd of Roosevelt elk competed with the cattle for grazing. Drivers would pull over to watch the elk, creating a traffic hazard. After the federal Bureau of Land Management acquired the property in 1991, a parking area and an interpretive display were created. Today, BLM manages vegetation to maintain good forage for the elk herd, which can number 120 individuals. The 923-acre site is one of just two official Roosevelt elkviewing areas in Oregon. With 4,200 vehicles a day passing this easily accessible area, it’s an opportunity for many people to learn about these animals and their place in the coastal ecosystem. Other South Coast elk contribute to the local economy in a different way. About 5,000 hunters a year pursue elk in the South Coast’s hunting units with bows and guns, with one out of four succeeding. Coos Bay is home to its own herd of elk. Between 40 and 100 animals are based in the forested Coos Bay/North Bend Water Board property, but they sometimes wander through residential neighborhoods to Mingus Park.

Southwestern Oregon Community College When the state of Oregon was planning a community college system in the 1950s, some local leaders thought Coos and Curry County citizens required only vocational training, not a liberal arts college. Henry Hansen, a leader of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, had a bigger vision, and his union was instrumental in convincing voters to tax themselves for a community college on the coast. Southwestern Oregon Community College was established in 1961, becoming Oregon’s first community college, and Hansen — a high school dropout — became chairman of its first board. Today SWOCC serves a population of about 90,000 between Coos Bay and the California border. The college currently serves 10,000 students a year at its main campus in Coos Bay, the Curry County campus in Brookings, and sites in Gold Beach and Port Orford, in addition to high schools throughout the area. The Oregon Coast Culinary Institute, established in 2001, has its own facility on the main campus. SWOCC is one of only three of Oregon’s 17 community colleges that has housing on campus. But many students obtain transfer degrees that they take to four-year colleges, and others obtain bachelor’s or master’s degrees from other Oregon colleges through the Southwestern Oregon University Center on campus. And a program called College Now enables local teenagers to earn as many as two years of college credit at no charge before they graduate from high school.

It was once said about a baseball field, “If you build it, they will come.” But in 1999, instead of trying to build a baseball field in Myrtle Point, Doug Veysey decided to create a way to take players to the field. The result was the Myrtle Point Fun Bus, which creates yearround entertainment opportunities for people of all ages in Myrtle Point. The Coos County Foster Parents Association donated the original Fun Bus, and Veysey started Myrtle Point Fun Bus, Inc., and collected donations to pay for insurance and other expenses. In 2004, the Myrtle Point Rotary Club donated $35,000 and the Fun Bus nonprofit pitched in another $5,000 to buy a newer bus from Bandon Dunes Resort. Today, Veysey, the nonprofit’s president and principal driver, is assisted by 10 volunteer drivers. Most trips are free for kids, and fees paid by adults go back to the corporation; nobody gets paid. The Fun Bus, which holds 14 people, takes kids to North Bend in June for free swimming lessons, then takes them to the Coquille pool three times a week all summer. It takes them to basketball, baseball and softball league games, and takes competitors to the Junior Olympics in Monmouth. But the Fun Bus also takes adults to Shore Acres, to the community concert series at Marshfield High School, and to Red Hat Society outings. It’s taken seniors to concerts in Florence and to shows at Three Rivers Casino. It once whisked the Myrtle Point High School Show Choir to a gig at the Mill Casino when the scheduled transportation fell through. Veysey praises Myrtle Point’s citizens for pitching in with donations and labor to keep the Fun Bus rolling. “It’s just giving people an opportunity to go to things t h e y wouldn’t do,” Ve y s e y said.

LOGGING In the early 20th century, timber fueled the South Coast’s development. Independent logging operations and corporate ventures harvested from private and public lands, powering the growth of towns and the building of roads, rails and the Port of Coos Bay. In 1952, 743 million board feet were harvested in Coos County and 640 million in Curry County. The industry always fluctuated; Coos County’s harvest dropped to 380 million board feet in 1968, rebounding to 686 million in 1973. But in the 1980s, a national recession was followed by closure of public lands to logging to protect endangered species. Coos County’s harvest sank to 241 million board feet in 1998, and languished at 275 million in 2011. Mill jobs declined along with logging

jobs. Multinational corporations took their mills to other regions rather than retooling for the smaller timber available on private lands, and the surviving mills adopted new technologies requiring fewer employees. Nevertheless, forest jobs still account for 8.8 percent of employment in Coos County and the industry constitutes 15 percent of the county’s economic base, with the figures comparable in Curry County. Six sawmills and a plywood mill are alive and well, plus another sawmill and plywood plant in Curry County. Although we no longer have a pulp mill, the vast chip terminals on Coos Bay still send shiploads of chips to Japan. With 94 percent of Coos County and 97 percent of Curry County under forest, and with markets for biomass energy and new timber building materials emerging, we’re definitely not out of the woods. In a good way.

Confederated Tribes of the Lower Rogue Four decades after other Oregon native tribes began winning federal restoration of their tribal status, the Confederated Tribes of the Lower Rogue are still pursuing restoration. The confederation represents members of the Shasta Costa, Chetco and Tututni tribes, whose historic home is Curry County. During the Rogue River Wars of 1855-1866, U.S. soldiers rounded up many Chetco and Tututni people from the Rogue and Chetco valleys, along with members of other coastal tribes. They took them to the Siletz reservation 200 miles north. Although a few returned to Curry County, many stayed and lived on the Siletz reservation, along with members of 27 other tribes who had

been interned there. In 1954, the federal government terminated its recognition of the Chetco, Tututni and Shasta Costa tribes, like many others. In 1977, the Siletz Tribe regained recognition, and many Chetco, Tututni and Shasta Costa descendants enrolled in the Siletz Tribe. That tribe estimates that it has 1,705 members of “Lower Rogue” tribal descent and 1,601 members of Chetco descent. Tribal leaders estimate that descendants of the Lower Rogue groups in this area, not yet enrolled with any tribe, number about 150. Obtaining recognition for the CTLR would enable those people to obtain tribal social services and would facilitate study of the tribes’ languages and cultures. Tribal members hold an annual “Gathering of the People” in September at Big Bend, about 10 miles north of Agness on the Rogue River.

GOLF The South Coast got its first golf course in 1923, when I.R. “Ike” Tower, Claude Nasburg, Ben Fisher and Ben Chandler founded the Coos Bay Country Club on the Watson Ranch property south of town. Originally, it had nine holes designed by Henry Chandler Egan, an amateur golfer who designed numerous other Oregon courses and redesigned Pebble Beach. These holes became the back nine when a new front nine designed by Bill Robinson was added in 1998. In 2006, the course was sold to new owners and became public. Since then, the area has developed several well-regarded courses. The course at Forest Hills Country Club in Reedsport was built by the International Paper Company for its employees in 1963 and purchased by organizers of the current club in 1988. Nonmembers are welcomed. In

Charleston, there’s the nine-hole Sunset Bay Golf Course, opened in 1969. Old Bandon Golf Links, the westernmost golf course in the contiguous United States, which offered golfers the opportunity to play with classic hickory clubs and gutta-percha balls, is currently closed. Bandon Crossings is another public course that has gained favorable notice. Pacific Gales is a new course proposed for a spectacular site near Port Orford. But Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is the

one that put the South Coast on the international golf map when its first course opened in 1999. Since then, the resort has grown to offer four links courses, a short par-3 course and an 18-hole putting course. It routinely hosts United States Golf Association tournaments and is sought after by golfers who want to test their skills on the links terrain — firm, windswept coastal turf that’s similar to the land on which early Scottish golfers developed the game. Bandon also offers a truly one-ofa-kind experience: the Sheep Ranch, also called Bally Bandon in homage to Ireland’s famous Ballybunion course. Open only on weekdays from November through June, the course consists of picturesque holes that can be played in any order and is said by those who have played it to embody the original essence of golf. It’s owned by Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser, but is not part of the resort. Access is limited; to gain it, call Bandon Golf Supply at 541-347-1636.

Rogue River jet boats Until the 1890s, settlers along the Rogue River were isolated, relying on pack mules to receive supplies. In 1883, the Post Office Department agreed to a one-year trial of a mail-boat route between Wedderburn on the coast and Big Bend, 40 miles upriver. The trial was a success, and a succession of mail boats — rowed, poled, pushed, and sailed — began to ply the river. Under human power, the trip took four days. No boat could navigate the whitewater between Illahe and Marial, so when the Marial post office closed in 1954, it was the nation’s last postal facility to be served only by pack mule. Although gasoline engines were added to the boats in the early 1900s, operators had to pole them over shallows to protect the propellers. By the 1930s, 60-horsepower Model A Ford engines were powering the boats. In the 1960s, jetboats, which can pass over shallower riffles than propeller-

driven boats, were introduced. Jerry’s Rogue Jets still delivers the mail between Gold Beach and Agness, one of only two remaining U.S. mail routes served by boat (the other is a 99-mile route on the Snake River in eastern Oregon). But the company’s three-engine, 1050-total-horsepower boats also carry tourists who enjoy trips up the wild river. The trips pass through remote stretches where pas-

sengers can watch osprey, bear, otter and other wildlife. In less sensitive areas, the boat pilots execute maneuvers that show off the powerful boats’ capabilities and let those who want to feel the spray. The trips involve lunch stops at historic lodges. Jerry’s has won state tourism awards for the experience it offers, and the trips have a nationwide reputation as an accessible glimpse of one of Oregon’s wild areas.

Butterflies in Elkton Although a butterfly’s life is brief, community volunteers in Elkton have made a long-term commitment to supporting these important species. In 1999, community organizers started the Elkton Community Education Center, which fosters several related projects that create employment and enjoyment in Elkton. The center’s butterfly pavilion houses native plants needed to rear monarch and painted lady butterflies — pollinators that are endangered by the human control of the weedy plants where they lay their eggs. The butterflies attract visitors who stop in the seasonal cafe, browse the gift shop or pick up produce from the market garden. A nursery at ECEC grows native plants under contract for U.S. Forest Service restoration projects and also sells them to retail customers. The center houses an independent library that hosts community group meetings and art shows and an amphitheater for concerts. It’s also slowly building a replica of Fort Umpqua, a Hudson’s Bay Company outpost of the 1830s thought to be the first European settlement in southern Oregon. The fort is already a venue for historical reenactments, and eventually, it will be a museum of frontier life. All these projects provide summer employment for 17 teenagers — a welcome opportunity in a town with a population less than 200. The garden and butterfly pavilion also provide hands-on experience for students in the natural resources curriculum at Elkton’s charter high school. Drawing nearly 4,000 visitors a year itself, ECEC collaborates with local wineries and other b u s i n e sse s to encourage tourism to Elkton. “We are so lucky in this community,” said M a r jo ry Hamann, the center’s executive director. “They’re very supportive of us.”
