Above, the brave water knights do battle for the honor of staying on their paddleboards Saturday afternoon. On the boards for this joust is Mike Schleis, left, and Craig Lontobarti. During the Stand Up for the Bay on Estuary Day, people spent the earlier part of the day paddling around on the water. There was also entertainment and food on the boardwalk. The culmination of the day’s event was a paddleboard joust in front of the Coos Bay Boardwalk. Top, visitors watch the water jousting action from the boardwalk.
COOS BAY — Coos Bay is putting a new wastewater treatment plant in the Empire district, but how that plant will look is still to be determined, and the public can offer their opinions on the matter. The city is hosting a special meeting at Sunset Middle School on Tuesday regarding the façade and the architectural features for the new Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The expansion site for Plant No. 2 will be located on the property east of South Empire Boulevard, west of South Marple Street, and north of Fulton Avenue. Jim Hossley, public works and development director for the city, says the meeting will focus on the aesthetic options available to them. “We’re almost done with our final design, and this is the time where we need to put the finishing touches on the plan,” he said. “Hopefully, that night, we’ll get a decision from the city council on what they would like to see.” This wastewater plant project expansion will provide Coos Bay with an upgraded treatment plant that will satisfy current state and federal water quality regulations. “The old one is old, and the old site is just a little too small for the volume of water we need to deal with,” Hossley said. So, they are moving it across the street. The special council meeting will allow the public to view architectural renderings for the new plant, ask questions and make comments. The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 30 at the Sunset Middle School Gymnasium, 245 S. Cammann St., Coos Bay. SEE WASTEWATER | A8

Minor-party candidates make case to be governor BY JONATHAN J. COOPER The Associated Press
EUGENE — Three minor party candidates for Oregon governor got a chance to make their case Saturday as they shared the stage with Gov. John Kitzhaber and state Rep. Dennis Richardson for a debate in Eugene. It was the only debate to which they were invited, and they made the most of it. The Democrat and Republican candidates stuck closely to their scripts, and it was their lesser-known rivals who produced the debate’s most enlightening moments.
taken control of large sections of Iraq and Syria. The Khorasan Group is a cell of militants that the U.S. says is plotting attacks against the West in cooperation with the Nusra front, Syria’s al-Qaida affiliate. Obama was asked how Islamic State fighters had come to control so much territory in Syria and Iraq and whether it was a surprise to him. The president said that during the Iraq war, U.S. military forces
PORTLAND — In a TV ad paid for by advocates of labeling genetically modified foods in Oregon, voters are told 64 countries have such requirements and labels didn’t lead to an increase in their food costs. Opponents of GMO labeling have released an ad that says the opposite: Labels would be costly for food producers and consumers and would not show which ingredients in a product are modified. With a decision on the Nov. 4 ballot measure just five weeks away, the two opposing camps combined have reported contributions of nearly $3 million and expenditures of more than $2 million, including advertising. It’s a sign of what’s still to come. This is round three in the GMO labeling match in recent years. Similar measures in California and in Washington state failed narrowly after millions of dollars were spent, mostly by labeling opponents. If adopted, the initiative by Oregon GMO Right to Know would require manufacturers, retailers and suppliers to label raw and packaged foods produced entirely or partially by genetic engineering. The measure would not apply to animal feed or food served in restaurants. It would be effective January 2016. The Unites States does not require labeling of genetically engineered foods. Three states — Vermont, Maine and Connecticut — have passed labeling laws, although they don’t take effect immediately. A similar measure also recently qualified for the ballot in Colorado. Labeling supporters say there aren’t enough studies on the impacts of GMOs, so consumers have a right to know if they are eating them. Gov. John Kitzhaber, who is running for reelection, recently came out in support of the

many of the topics brought up in the debate. The debate, sponsored by the League of Oregon Cities, focused heavily on issues that affect local governments, and the candidates were given the questions ahead of time. Pacific Green Party candidate Jason Levin advocated a single-payer health care system that would cover everyone in the state and suggested breaking up large school districts. He
was a strong advocate for legalizing marijuana and said it would open the door for a commercial hemp industry. “I believe that we’re seeing a lot of the same old, same old from the supposedly only viable candidates, and I think it’s time for a credible third party to be given a shot,” Levin said. Chris Henry of the Progressive Party said he’d be a strong advocate for working people. A truck driver who said he’s working toward a degree from Portland State University, Henry said repeatedly that he’d face a steep learning curve. SEE DEBATE | A8
INSIDE
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is acknowledging that U.S. intelligence agencies underestimated the threat from Islamic State militants in the Middle East and overestimated the ability and will of Iraq’s army to fight such extremists. Obama described the U.S. intelligence assessments in response to a question during a CBS “60 Minutes” interview that

aired Sunday, in which he also conceded that the U.S. led military campaign against that group and an al-Qaida affiliate in Syria was helping Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, a man the U.N. has accused of war crimes. But Obama said he had no choice but to order U.S. air strikes on Assad’s enemies, the Islamic State and the Khorasan Group because, he said, “those folks could kill Americans.” The Islamic State group, which derived from but has broken with al-Qaida, has

Epidemic knows no border Nine years ago, my family was out on a limb — or on rooftops. They were looking for someone to rescue them from the angry floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina. Day after day, I scoured the Internet. I called friends in Louisiana to ask if they were able to visit the local shelters, or to call the Red Cross. I asked if some would simply look around for any of my family members — my sisters Lisa, Sheila, Zeola and Cheryl. Or learn if my dad, Lionel, or my uncle, had survived. Throughout this torturous ordeal, days turned into nights. And after fitful sleep, nights turned back into days of endless, fruitless searching. My top assistant, Ernestine, worked nonstop. She held vigils and organized relief packages. She found people with news and passed it on — news that allowed us to keep fighting for the victims of Katrina. Ernestine was one of many angels who helped my family survive Katrina. She was smart, savvy, and strove to learn politics. After a semester on Capitol Hill interning for then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, she joined the staff of my small consulting firm, Brazile and Associates. For years, Ernestine was my right hand. We became friends. I will never forget her diligence and especially her support of not just my family, but of countless other families across the Gulf Coast. Today, Ernestine is suffering. Her family is DONNA tragically in the crosshairs BRAZILE of a raging epidemic of Ebola in Sierra Leone in Columnist Africa. Here is what she told me by email when I asked her about her loved ones. “It has been a tough week with news that a possible family friend might have Ebola and of the upcoming three-day government shutdown in Sierra Leone,” she wrote. Sierra Leone is one of the three nations (with Guinea and Liberia) hardest-hit by the disease. The three-day shutdown began this week. Everyone will be quarantined. Twenty-one thousand volunteers will go door to door during the curfew, looking for signs of the fearsome Ebola. It was Ernestine’s emails about the reality in her home that made me realize Ebola is more than just a regional problem in Africa. This is a crisis of the first order. In pledging 3,000 U.S. troops and a halfbillion dollars in funds to fight Ebola in Africa, President Obama said, “Ebola is now an epidemic of the likes that we have not seen before. It’s spiraling out of control — with profound political and economic and security implications for all of us.” Last week, a group of American scientists projected that the outbreak could last 18 months with hundreds of thousands infected. Ernestine visited her husband Sam in April, a month before the outbreak there. She’s kept in contact, and wrote of the impact: “What causes fear and anxiety is the knowledge that the actual number of infected people is unknown. ... The biggest loss to Sierra Leone was four notable doctors who died helping Ebola patients. Furthermore, the increased isolation from other countries has caused a food shortage and increased inflation.” Every doctor is essential in Sierra Leone; the World Health Organization reports there were 2.2 doctors for every 100,000 of Sierra Leone’s population in 2012. Ernestine said some relatives had to abandon their house because of the rapid transmission of the disease in their neighborhood from just a single case. “My uncle Jonas Blango ... passed away last month,” Ernestine wrote.“He did not die from Ebola, but (because of) the stigma inflicted on the dead, many family members were afraid to attend his funeral for fear of being infected.” The nationwide lockdown “will put a hardship on a lot of family members who have limited access to resources. Our family raised funds to help those in need to buy food, water and supplies needed during the shutdown,” said Ernestine. Lack of funds prompted a walkout in eastern Sierra Leone by 80 Ebola health workers who hadn’t been paid in two weeks. Noting the urgency of the situation, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said, “We don’t need all this time-consuming, socalled consultation or consensus building. There is a consensus already that this is very serious and urgent. This spreads and doubles in three weeks’ time. So it’s a matter of take action. We have to save the people. That’s the main purpose, to take immediate action.” The United States and the international community will be committing resources, and if you would like to contribute to containing Ebola and helping victims, Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF, the American Red Cross and the World Food Program all could use your support. The United States Agency for International Development website has a longer list of 37 organizations working to fight Ebola. This crisis reminds me of the early days of Katrina when the government had yet to marshal a response. It was then that Ernestine pitched in and helped hundreds of Americans. It’s our turn to pitch in and help.
Letters to the Editor Obama shameful before military The current resident of the White House does it again! He exits Marine One and gives a half-baked salute with a latte. How insulting, not only to those Marines who guard him, but to all the men and women who have given and continue to give their lives for this country! This self-proclaimed commander in chief who has never served a minute for this country in any service, has never commanded anything, has the gall to insult our military. I’m deeply ashamed of this joker and offer an apology to all military, everywhere. He is not worthy of the office he inhabits. How far we have sunk since JFK. Sharon Leslie Bandon
Fed up citizens want new charter Most citizens of Coos County are too busy with their normal lives and are unable to attend commission meetings. Those who do make time are now labeled “the noisemakers” by Mr. Barton. These “noisemakers” are citizens expressing their constitutional rights to express their opinion on how they are governed and how the county manages its assets. It is “noise” because no one is respectful enough to listen to individuals that take the time to get involved and express an opinion. “The ultimate objective was to get a professional administrator to run the day-to-day affairs of the county because the commissioners are, first of all, not well-qualified to administer a government of that size and complexity,” Barton said. I find it strange how these unqualified elected officials are qualified to hire a professional administrator who is not responsible to the citizens of the county. This same professional administrator would hire all individuals currently elected except for the sheriff and commissioners. He would also have “golden parachute” attached to his employment contract. “I think home rule is a good thing,” said Commissioner Melissa Cribbins. “It reflects the individual characteristics of a county. But I’m concerned in this case that it’s small groups of people with individual interests.” The charter’s specificity also makes Commissioner John Sweet think it’s geared toward individual interests, rather than countywide needs. Mr. Sweet also claims “its attempt to undermine the concept of representative government.” I say just the opposite is true. It requires that our elected representatives be responsible and responsive to the citizens who elect them. I challenge anyone to find any item in the charter that would benefit any one special interest group. There are no “special interest” groups funding this issue. It is strictly a “grass roots” movement.
How (Ronnie) Herne and (Jaye) Bell are doing it, by putting it to the voters, is the only method that private citizens can use to address the issue under state law. “The current board of commissioners has repeatedly denied Herne’s and Bell’s requests to consider their charter specifically.” “Voice of the Voters” is the only avenue citizens have to give guidance to the commissioners on how they (the citizens) are to be governed. Respectfully, a Coos County concerned citizen. Theo Stanley Bandon
We don’t need to be in this war In response to Sharon Ramirez’s letter, “Does critic have better idea?” of Sept. 18, I want to say, “I can feel your pain,” having to endure your anti-war president entering into not just a war in Libya (which resulted in the waste of American lives in the Benghazi fiasco and helped create another nation in chaos) but also this latest declaration of a new war in Iraq and Syria. This is not the “hope and change” everyone expected, but I digress. In reading her letter, Sharon Ramirez “failed to see the forest for the trees” in missing the point in my letter, “Bombing ISIL strategy will fail” of Sept. 15. I watched, along with millions of other concerned citizens, President Obama’s speech Sept. 10. I watched again when it was repeated on C-Span. I had an immediate reaction to his speech, being disappointed in what he was proposing, and sat down and wrote my letter, submitting it to The World the next day. The point was that Obama’s response (to declaring a new war in Iraq and Syria) is not based on success but is only an “attempt” to look like he is doing something against ISIL. He wants to stop his nose dive in the polls after announcing he didn’t have a clue what to do a couple of weeks prior. (His announced postponement of personally giving illegal immigrants amnesty is also to protect his polling). The politics of this would help protect the Dems chance of maintaining a majority in the Senate in our upcoming mid-term elections, which is in serious jeopardy. As far as “what action he would suggest against ISIL,” Sharon Ramirez is under the false impression that President Obama would take anyone’s advise. If she has heard the chorus of: world leaders, Middle East regional leaders, congressional leaders (Democrats and Republicans), Obama’s cabinet members, active duty and retired military leaders, commentators on all the cable news networks: CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC and C-Span, during the past week, all saying that Obama’s “strategy” to destroy ISIL is hollow without American “boots on the
ground,” she would know that Obama already knows and refuses to take anyone’s advice, even “for the good of our nation.” But if my advise is really desired, I agree with Diana West’s “Protect Americans, not Islamic interests” on the Opinion page of The World on Sept. 17. Raymond Straub Charleston
All the real jobs are gone A letter to the editor from a resident of Hailey, Idaho, who had lived in Coos Bay and attended school here during his younger years, piqued my interest. I went to grade school there during the late 30s, when my father was employed at a mining company near Ketchum. He remembered Coos Bay as the largest lumber shipping port in the world and worked for a company that was located where The Mill Casino stands today, earning money to put himself through college. He went on to say (from a younger person’s view) that the 101 corridor was a thriving yet foreboding and seedy place. He complimented the area on transitioning to an attractive community with many features designed to enhance the tourist industry. The keywords here are “lumber” and “thriving.” If he lived here today, at the age he was then, he could not have earned the amount of money required to accomplish his goal. A thriving community is one that has the bulk of its citizens gainfully employed in one or more of the four sources of jobs. Yes, there are only four sources of jobs, and no, the government is not one of them! During the time frame he remembers, Coos County utilized all four sources. I use the acronym “atom” to easily remember them and explain to those who are prone to believing that government is the solution and not the problem in proving a healthy and thriving community. The four sources of jobs are agriculture, timber, ocean, mining. Our job problems occurred when the federal government conferred “personhood” to corporations. The large timber/lumber-based companies found they could outbid smaller local enterprises on government controlled timber sales and ship the logs (raw materials) out of country to improve their net worth. Other methods of attack on privately held timber and other sources of jobs in this country have been developed through false information and various types of legislation enacted by our Congress. The assumption of global warming, the endangered species act, wave energy test zones, environmental protection act, ocean study areas for fish habitat and others ad nauseam. Opps! Did I say government cannot create jobs? We now have a plethora of overseers and regulators to enforce these various
acts plus an ever growing number of human services people to find federal assistance for those poor folks who can no longer find jobs. Frosty West Coos Bay
GOP needs to get with the times I just received a flyer in the mail from Art Robinson wanting my vote for his attempt at winning a seat in Congress. You have to give him an “A” for effort. Who knows, maybe a third time will be the charm. I doubt it. Why do the Republicans trot out the same old tired horses and expect to win. Really? It’s like they are not even trying. I understand that Mitt Romney may throw his hat in the ring again. Really? Come on, man. Even the Republican newbies such as Monica Wehby are questionable. When it was revealed in police reports that she was stalking former boyfriends her comment was that she didn’t think that the opposition would bring that up. Really? What planet has she been living on? Here is what the Republicans have to do to become viable again. Realize that the days of two white guys as Prez. and V.P. are done. Whites in this country are quickly becoming a minority. Distance themselves from the tea party faction of their party. They also need to distance themselves from the bible wavers. Your religious convictions should have no business in any form of government period. Recognize the rights of women when it comes to equal pay for the same job they are performing as a man. Abortion rights. Start concentrating on Hillary and forget about Obama. Let the youth in the party come to the forefront, and start grooming them for the future. Like Bob Dylan sang many years ago, “For the times they are a’ changin.” The sooner the Republicans realize this the better. But they probably won’t, and they will continue to promote the old, tired horses and the hasbeens. Really? Tom Davidson Powers

Marijuana entrepreneurs spend on elections Oregon campaign has $2.3 million fund ■
BY KRISTEN WYATT Associated Press
DENVER — The entrepreneurs of the young U.S. marijuana industry are taking another step into the mainstream, becoming political donors who use some of their profits to support cannabis-friendly candidates and ballot questions that could bring legal pot to more states. The political activity includes swanky fundraisers at Four Seasons hotels and art auctions at law firms. And members of Congress who once politely returned the industry’s contribution checks are now keeping them. “We’re developing an industry here from the ground up. If we don’t contribute politically and get out there with the candidates, we can’t help shape what happens,” said Patrick McManamon, head of Cleveland-based Cannasure Insurance Services, which offers insurance to marijuana growers and dispensaries. Medical marijuana businesses have been giving to candidates since the late 1990s. With the arrival of recreational pot in Colorado and Washington, the industry and its political influence are expanding rapidly. Pot is now legal for medical or recreational purposes in 23 states and Washington, D.C. More marijuana measures will be on the November ballot in Oregon, Florida, Alaska and the nation’s capital, so many contributions are being funneled into those campaigns and the candidates who support them. Compared with the donations of other industries or
advocacy groups, the political spending by marijuana businesses is modest. But, said Tripp Keber, head of Denver-based Dixie Elixirs & Edibles, which makes potinfused soda, food and lotion, “the word is out that the marijuana industry has money to give.” Keber attended a summer fundraiser for Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who opposed legalization in 2012 but has promised to regulate the industry according to voters’ wishes. “It was interesting to see how he’s starting to evolve. I said, ‘I’m telling you, I can get 100 people in the room who would be happy to max out,”’ or give the state’s maximum legal donation of $1,100, Keber said. A few weeks later, in August, Keber threw a fundraiser at the Four Seasons in Denver with a goal of raising $16,000 for Hickenlooper. The event netted $40,000. In Washington state, the industry’s contributions are channeled into reforms that include reducing the tax rate on pot and kicking some marijuana revenue back to cities and counties to encourage more communities to allow dispensaries, said dispensary owner John Davis, who also serves as director of the Coalition for Cannabis Standards and Ethics. Not long ago, most marijuana entrepreneurs were “trying to scrape a few dollars together” to get started, Keber said. “Now this industry is becoming profitable, and we’re taking that profit and investing it politically. There isn’t a week that goes by where we don’t make a political donation.” The Oregon ballot measure has raised about $2.3 million. A medical-marijuana question in Florida has

And the Alaska campaign has brought in about $850,000. A recreational pot measure in Washington, D.C., attracted few donations, perhaps because it appears almost certain to pass. Colorado’s congressional delegation alone has received some $20,000 this year from the marijuana industry, according to federal campaign-finance data. The true figure is probably much higher because many donors do not mention the drug in campaign-finance disclosures. The largest federal spender on marijuana advocacy is the Marijuana Policy Project, which plans to donate $150,000 to federal candidates this year, up from $110,000 in 2013. The Drug
Policy Alliance and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws have also given directly to federal candidates, and taxexempt industry groups such as the National Cannabis Industry Association can spend an unlimited amount of untracked money. Politicians who used to reject checks from pro-marijuana donors “aren’t doing that anymore,” said Ethan Nadelmann, head of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance. Still, the same candidates who cash the checks aren’t always keen to talk about it. About a dozen recipients of marijuana money declined interview requests or did not return calls from The Associated Press.
Police: Mail carrier stole 10,000 letters STATE PORTLAND (AP) — A Portland letter carrier says he stole more than 10,000 pieces of mail to feed his toddler and pay for his methamphetamine habit. John P. Osborn appeared at an arraignment Friday before a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge on 114 charges of mail theft and 30 counts of identity theft. The Oregonian reported he has pleaded not guilty. Osburn was hired in June 2013 as a part-time employee. He did not have a dedicated postal route. A storage locker registered in Osborn’s girlfriend’s name was put up for auction when the rent went unpaid. When it was opened Tuesday, the owner found paychecks, financial statements, medical test results, vehicle registrations, utility bills and legal correspondence.
UO claims rights to reading test EUGENE (AP) — The University of Oregon is trying to reclaim rights to a student reading test used at 15,000 schools nationwide. The Register-Guard reports the test known as DIBELS or the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills was developed by university researchers. It was refined by Associate Professor Roland Good and former university employee Ruth Kaminski who formed a company and took out a trademark and copyright on DIBELS in 2003. Last year the university appealed the trademark, saying the test was developed by taxpayer-supported research. Recently the company formed by Good and Dynamic Kaminski, Measurements Group, sued the university in federal court in Eugene, accusing the university of trademark and copyright infringement. The company had sales last year of more than $1 million.

The Oregonian reported that Christian Delaurentiis will be sentenced in January. Neither he nor his lawyers spoke about the crimes during his Friday plea hearing in Washington County Circuit Court. Judge Thomas Kohl said he’ll sentence Delaurentiis to life in prison with the possibility of parole after about 41 years. The sentencing was scheduled for early 2015 to allow time for a federal case to Delaurentiis against resolve. He faces charges of armed bank robbery in Wilsonville and Woodburn hold-ups. Prosecutor Jeff Lesowski said Friday that Delaurentiis decided to kill 43-year-old Phillip Lindemuth after the man threatened to talk to authorities about the bank robberies. The prosecutor says Delaurentiis planned to flush his roommate’s body parts down a toilet but abandoned that plan and stored the remains in a garage freezer. The men lived in Aloha, west of Portland.
A Colorado state lawmaker who accepts marijuana-industry donations conceded thinking twice before taking them. “I always worry about what people’s perceptions will be,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, a Democrat who is the only sitting Colorado legislator who supported legalization. “But it came down to, I’m on record for where I stood before I ever took a penny from this industry.” Todd Mitchem, a Denver marijuana industry consultant, recalled a fundraiser earlier this year thrown by a maker of cannabis vaporizer cartridges for a state legislator. When the company posted photos from the event on its
Cottage Grove athletes win drug test program EUGENE (AP) — Student athletes in an Oregon school district must submit to drug tests this year, a proposal that began at the urging of the students themselves. The South Lane School Board has approved a plan to test every student athlete at least once per season, with random tests also administered. The Junction City School District has adopted a similar plan. Students who fail three tests will be removed from the teams. In South Lane, the district athletes’ council put forward the idea in May, the Register-Guard reported. “We saw the need for it,” said 17-year-old senior Jarett Raade, who is the co-chair of the athletes’ council. “It’s an easy way to see who’s using and who’s not.” Some parents and students argue that the policy is ineffective and will drive stufrom away dents extracurricular activities. “This isn’t about busting kids,” Cottage Grove High School Principal Iton Udosenata said. “It’s about helping kids. It’s not about infringing on kids’ rights. The outcome we want is for

more kids to have the opportunity to say ‘no.’?“ The school districts say the policies will help curb drug abuse and encourage students with issues to seek help. A U.S. Supreme Court case in 2002 allowed testing of students participating in activities. extracurricular The American Civil Liberties Union, among others, has argued that the tests violate the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures. Most tests, which typically detect marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine and opiates, cost $2 to $5.75 per student. The southern Oregon school districts that test their student athletes for drugs are mostly smaller districts. Larger area districts like Eugene and Springfield don’t test. South Lane tried a voluntary drug-testing policy in the early 1990s, but the district found it to be ineffective because the students who volunteered to be tested were not the ones using drugs, Superintendent Krista Parent said.

Nation Ferguson demands high fees to turn over city files WASHINGTON (AP) — Bureaucrats in Ferguson, Missouri, responding to requests under the state’s Sunshine Act to turn over government files about the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, are charging nearly 10 times the cost of some of their own employees’ salaries before they will agree to release any records. The move discourages journalists and civil rights groups from investigating the shooting and its aftermath. The city has demanded high fees to produce copies of records that, under Missouri law, it could give away free if it determined the material was in the public’s interest to see. Instead, in some cases, the city has demanded high fees with little explanation or cost breakdown. It billed The Associated Press $135 an hour — for nearly a day’s work — merely to retrieve a handful of email accounts since the shooting. That fee compares with an entry-level, hourly salary of $13.90 in the city clerk’s office, and it didn’t include costs to review the emails or
release them. The AP has not paid for the search. Price-gouging for government files is one way that local, state and federal agencies have responded to requests for potentially embarrassing information they may not want released. Open records laws are designed to give the public access to government records at little or no cost, and have historically exposed waste, wrongdoing and corruption. “The first line of defense is to make the requester go away,” said Rick Blum, who coordinates the Sunshine in Government Initiative, a coalition of media groups that advocates for open government. “Charging exorbitant fees to simply cut and paste is a popular tactic.” Since Brown’s death and ensuing protests, news organizations, nonprofit groups and everyday citizens have submitted records requests to Ferguson officials, asking for police reports, records about Brown and the personnel files of Officer Darren Wilson, who shot Brown Aug. 9. Organizations like the website Buzzfeed were told they’d
have to pay unspecified thousands of dollars for emails and memos about Ferguson’s traffic-citation policies and changes to local elections. The Washington Post said Ferguson wanted no less than $200 for its requests. A city spokeswoman referred inquiries about public records requests to the city’s attorney, Stephanie Karr, who declined to respond to repeated interview requests from the AP since earlier this month. Some state open records laws provide records for free or little cost, while others like Missouri can require fees that “result in the lowest charges for search, research and duplication.” The AP asked for a fee waiver because it argued the records would serve the public interest, as the law allows, but that request was denied. A spokesman for Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon referred questions about the high fees to the state’s attorney general, who handles freedom-of-information complaints. A spokeswoman for his office said none had been filed on the issue.
Safety agency studying Toyota acceleration problem DETROIT (AP) — A U.S. safety agency is looking into a consumer’s petition alleging that older Toyota Corollas can accelerate unexpectedly at low speeds and cause crashes. The inquiry by the National Highway Traffic Administration Safety covers about 1.69 million of the Corolla compact cars from the 2006 to 2010 model years. The agency will decide whether to open a formal investigation into the
problem. An unidentified consumer said in a letter to the agency that he experienced multiple low-speed surges in a 2010 Corolla, and the brakes failed to stop the car in time to prevent a crash. The consumer said the problem caused one collision with a parked vehicle on June 8. “In addition to evidence from our crash incident, we are providing evidence that many other Corolla owners are experiencing
similarly unsafe scenarios that are leading to crashes,” said a portion of the consumer’s letter posted Monday on NHTSA’s website. The consumer provided 163 reports from other drivers who experienced a surge at low speed or no speed. But NHTSA said it eliminated duplicates, those outside the scope of the 2006-2010 model years and those from foreign countries to get 141. No injuries were reported.

Teens who crossed US border alone enter schools FRANKFORD, Del. (AP) — The group of mostly Spanishspeaking teenage boys with styled spiky hair and high-top sneakers enthusiastically pecks away on hand-held tablets at the G.W. Carver Education Center, pausing to alert the teacher when stumped. “If you don’t know what you’re supposed to write on the line, look at my examples, OK?” she tells one of them. The students are eager but face barriers. Many crossed the U.S. border. Some can barely read or write in their native language. U.S. schools are now dealing with the fallout from the dramatic spike in the number of children and teenagers who crossed into the United States unaccompanied by family; the Supreme Court has ruled that they have an obligation to educate all students regardless of their immigration status. The teenagers at the G.W. Education Center ride a school
bus, practice food names with the school cafeteria manager and recite the names of body parts in gym class — all part of an English immersion newcomers program. The Indian River School District scrambled to develop it after about 70 immigrant students, most from Guatemala, enrolled unexpectedly toward the end of the last school year. The district’s goal is to get them assimilated, and after a semester or more, if necessary, back into a regular high school. There, they can earn a diploma, even if that means participating in adult education programs and going to school until they are 21. “They just crave it, and they will come and ask questions,” said Lori Ott, their English language teacher, after her students cheerfully waved goodbye for the day. “How do you say this? And, how do you say that? They just participate and you can’t say enough about them.”
Large numbers of these students have moved to metropolitan areas such as Washington, D.C., Miami and Houston, but also to communities of all sizes in nearly every state, according to federal data. That’s because most typically go live with a relative or guardian while their case makes its way through the immigration courts system — a process that can take years. In Delaware’s Sussex County, the community long has attracted immigrants, partly because of work in chicken factories, and soybean and corn fields. The district’s population is more than one-quarter Hispanic, and for years has offered an early learning program for non-English speakers. Still, officials were caught off guard by the number of new students — part of the wave of unaccompanied minors crossing the border — enrolling last year, mostly at Sussex Central High School.
Holder: Mixed record on national security issues WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder was just months into the job when he announced plans to prosecute the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks and other alleged co-conspirators in a New York courtroom, rather than through the Guantanamo Bay military commission process. It was an audacious idea,but immediately beset by political opposition and public safety concerns. The Obama administration’s eventual decision to walk away from the proposal was a stinging defeat for Holder — and a vivid reminder of the complexities of the legal fight against terrorism. Holder, who announced Thursday that he would step down once a successor is

But he will leave with a mixed
record of national security decisions that have drawn their own scrutiny and disappointed those who felt he didn’t go far enough to distance the Justice Department from past practices. The department points to hundreds of terrorism-fighting successes during Holder’s tenure, including prosecutions of plots to explode a bomb in Times Square and on a Detroit-bound airliner. But also under his watch, the department authorized targeted drone strikes against Americans abroad, subpoenaed journalists’ telephone records in leak investigations and defended in court the government’s bulk collection of millions of Americans’ telephone records.
Brown signs California assault bill Calif. SACRAMENTO, (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed a bill that makes California the first in the nation to define when “yes means yes” and adopt requirements for colleges to follow when investigating sexual assault reports. State lawmakers last month approved SB967 by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, as states and universities across the U.S. are under pressure to change how they handle rape allegations. Campus sexual assault victims and women’s advodelivered groups cacy petitions to Brown’s office on Sept. 16 urging him to sign the bill.
Jurors to choose life or death for Arias PHOENIX (AP) — Jury selection is beginning Monday in the penalty retrial of convicted murderer Jodi Arias, as prosecutors again seek a death sentence in the Arizona case that became a tabloid TV sensation. About 300 prospective jurors will report to the
NATIONAL D I G E S T courthouse in Phoenix, with more to come if an impartial panel cannot be found among the first group. A previous jury deadlocked on punishment. Arias acknowledged killing Travis Alexander in 2008 at his suburban Phoenix home but claimed it was self-defense. He suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, had his throat slit and was shot in the head.

World US-led airstrikes hit 4 Syrian provinces BEIRUT (AP) — U.S.-led coalition air raids targeted towns and villages in northern and eastern Syria controlled by the Islamic State group, including one strike that hit a grain silo and reportedly killed civilians, activists said Monday. Washington and its Arab allies opened their air assault against the extremist group last week, going after its military facilities, training camps, heavy weapons and oil installations. The campaign expands upon the airstrikes the United States has been conducting against the militants in Iraq since early August. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said coalition forces hit Islamic State group facilities overnight in Aleppo, Raqqa, Hassakeh and Deir elZour provinces. It said there were casualties, including civilians, but did not have exact figures. One of the strikes hit a grain silo in the extremistheld town of Manbij in Aleppo province, setting it ablaze, the Observatory and the Aleppo Media Center activist group said. Another activist collective, the Local Coordination Committees, also reported what it said were coalition air raids on Manbij.
Pro-democracy protests expand in Hong Kong HONG KONG (AP) — Prodemocracy protesters wearing surgical masks and holding up umbrellas to protect against tear gas expanded their rallies throughout Hong Kong on Monday, defying calls to disperse in a major pushback against Beijing’s decision to limit democratic reforms in the Asian financial hub.

Afghan president sworn in, paving way for US pact KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai was sworn in Monday as Afghanistan’s new president, replacing Hamid Karzai in the country’s first transfer of power since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion toppled the Taliban. A senior adviser to President Barack Obama said the change in leadership would allow Kabul to sign a long-awaited security pact on Tuesday permitting U.S. forces to remain in the country past the end of the year. Moments after Ghani Ahmadzai took the oath, he swore in his election challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, as chief executive, fulfilling a
political pledge he had taken to share power and defuse election tensions that had threatened to spark violence between the country’s north and southeast. In his first speech, Ghani Ahmadzai called on the Taliban and other militants to join the country’s political process and lay down their weapons. However, insurgent violence on Monday killed at least 12 civilians and police officers. “We are tired of war,” Ghani Ahmadzai said in a televised address. “Our message is peace, (but) this doesn’t mean we are weak.” Ghani Ahmadzai, a former
World Bank official and Afghan finance minister, wore a dark black turban popular in the country’s south as he swore in his two vice presidents and then Abdullah. Abdullah, a former foreign minister, spoke first and thanked Karzai for his service and the people of the country for casting votes in the millions despite the threat of attack from Taliban militants who tried to thwart the election process. “We are committed as one in the national unity government,” Abdullah said. “Our commitment will be fulfilled together as unified team to create national unity.”
5 more bodies found at Japanese volcano KISO, Japan (AP) — Five more bodies were found near the summit of a Japanese volcano on Monday, bringing the total presumed dead to 36, police said, as toxic gases and ash from the still-erupting mountain forced rescue workers to halt efforts to recover the victims. Eight more bodies were airlifted off Mount Ontake before work on the ash-blanketed peak was called off around 1:30 p.m., said Naofumi Miyairi, a spokesman for the Nagano prefecture police.
Mossad looks to recruit online TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — It used to be that if you wanted to join one of the world’s most secretive espionage organizations you had to sneak into a
WORLD D I G E S T foreign embassy, answer a cryptic newspaper ad or show up in a nondescript building in Tel Aviv to meet a shadowy recruiter. Now all it takes to apply for a job at Israel’s Mossad spy agency is a click of the mouse. The typically hush-hush Mossad revamped its website last week to include a snazzy recruiting video and an online application option for those seeking employment. With versions in Hebrew, English, French, Russian, Arabic and Persian, the sleek site looks to revolutionize the way Israel’s legendary agency seeks out potential agents after generations of backdoor, cloak-and-dagger antics.
Mystery over leader fuels health rumors SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea’s authoritarian leader makes no public appearances for three weeks, skipping a high-profile event he usually attends. An official documentary shows him limping and overweight and mentions his “discomfort.” What follows is a smorgasbord of media speculation about what’s eating Kim Jong Un. Maybe it’s gout, unidentified sources tell South Korean reporters, or diabetes, or high blood pressure.

GMO Pro-labeling has spent $1.6M Continued from Page A1 measure, as did Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports. Critics say mandatory labels would mislead consumers into thinking that engineered ingredients are unsafe, which scientists have not proven. As in previous cases, the anti-labeling campaign is chiefly financed by out-of-state food corpoand biotech rations companies that grow engineered crops; endorsers include large state farming groups. Though it’s not reflected in the early filings, opponents are expected to raise a lot more money than proponents. The anti-labeling campaign in Oregon has thus far reported just over $1 million in cash and in-kind contributions and has reported spending about half a million, according to filings with the Oregon Secretary of State’s office. The pro-labeling campaign shows $1.9 million in

The spending gain was another sign that the economy is maintaining strength in the current July-September quarter. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity, and the slowdown in July had raised concerns about whether the economy would retain the momentum it showed in the spring after a harsh winter. With spending rising at a faster pace than income, the saving rate dipped slightly to 5.4 percent of after-tax income. The figure was down slightly from a saving rate of 5.6 percent in June, which had been the highest monthly rate since December 2012.
contributions and expenditures of $1.6 million. These donations and expenditures are from a month ago because the campaigns have 30 days to make reports. In both California and Washington state, biotech and other giant food companies vastly outspent opponents — a factor most experts agree helped defeat those measures. In both cases, the measures were defeated by about 2 percentage points. The anti-labeling campaign spent about $45.6 million in California, compared to $8.7 million by labeling supporters. In Washington state, where the ballot contest went on record as the costliest in state history, opponents spent $33.3 million, compared to $9.8 million collected by the prolabeling groups. In Oregon, the labeling issue isn’t new. In 2002, voters soundly defeated a GMO labeling measure. But the attention to GMO’s has grown since then, as has opposition to genetically engineered crops in Oregon. Earlier this year, voters in two rural, conservative counties in southern Oregon — Jackson and Josephine — aired some of their differences. said the Richardson Legislature could improve funding for road projects without raising taxes by prioritizing transportation ahead of other construction projects. He called for a new highway linking Coos Bay with Ontario through Burns. Kitzhaber said the gas tax

Inflation was well contained in August, with an inflation measure tracked closely by the Federal Reserve showing no change after a 0.1 percent July increase. Over the past 12 months, this measure of inflation is up just 1.5 percent, well below the 2 percent target. About half of the spending growth came from a big increase in car sales in August. That helped push durable goods purchases up 1.8 percent in August after no change in July. The overall economy as measured by the gross domestic product grew at a rapid 4.6 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter.
approved bans on GMO crops. The vote came on the heels of the discovery of a patch of GMO wheat in Eastern Oregon. That discovery led to Japan and South Korea suspending imports of the crop over GMO concerns, temporarily closing a $700 million market and causing outcry and concern among farmers. Labeling proponents say that could help turn the tide in Oregon. Ads released by both sides feature Oregon farmers, a tell-tale sign of their importance to the measure’s fate. Supporters say labels would help family farmers by “letting people know the difference between the traditional food we grow and food genetically engineered in a lab.” Opponents say labels would hurt farmers, because “the last thing we need is a bunch of complex, costly regulations that don’t exist in any other states.” Labeling proponents also say they’ve learned from pro-labeling campaigns in California and Washington. “We’ve tightened the language in Measure 92 so the opposition can’t make the same misleading claims they did in both those states,” including making clear that

labeling applies only to food meant for human consumption and increasing protections for farmers, campaign spokesman Kevin Glenn said. The campaign is also focusing more on knocking on doors and registering new voters, Glenn said. The approach seems to be working: The coalition has received donations from nearly 3,000 Oregon donors. Its extensive list of endorsements includes nearly 100 farms and farming organizations, as well as dozens of restaurants, grocers, chefs and other groups. Opponents call the measure badly written. It would not, for example, require labels for meat and dairy products from animals fed genetically engineered feed. They also say consumers who wish to avoid GMOs already have the choice to buy organic foods. “This measure provides inaccurate and misleading information, and doesn’t tell consumers what’s in the food,” said Dana Bieber, spokeswoman for the Vote NO on 92 Coalition. The anti-labeling side has not released a full list of endorsers. which he called “one of the most serious issues facing local jurisdictions.” Richardson was more cautious. “The key source of additional city revenue is from a growing economy and more employed citizens,” he said. Kitzhaber and Richardson will next debate Oct. 10 at the City Club of Portland.

Consumer spending up in August WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans boosted spending by a healthy amount in August, offering welcome evidence that the economy is on solid footing heading into the final quarter of the year. Consumer spending rose 0.5 percent in August after showing no gain in July, the Commerce Department reported Monday. About half of the increase was driven by auto sales. It was the best result since spending also expanded 0.5 percent in June. Helped by strength in wages and salaries, income rose a modest 0.3 percent in August, slightly faster than a 0.2 percent July increase.

OBAMA Overestimated Iraq military Continued from Page A1 with the help of Iraq’s Sunni tribes were able to quash alQaida fighters, who went “back underground.” “During the chaos of the Syrian civil war, where essentially you have huge swaths of the country that are completely ungoverned, they were able to reconstitute themselves and take advantage of that chaos,” Obama said, according to an excerpt release before the show aired. He noted that his director of national intelligence, James Clapper, has acknowlthat the U.S. edged “underestimated what had been taking place in Syria.” Obama also said it was “absolutely true” that the U.S. overestimated the ability and will of the Iraqi army. Both the Islamic State group and the Khorasan Group have been targeted by U.S. airstrikes in recent days; together they constitute the most significant military opposition to Assad, whose government the U.S. would like to see gone. On the fact that the U.S.led military campaign had worked to Assad’s benefit, Obama said, “I recognize the contradiction,” but added: “We are not going to stabilize Syria under the rule of Assad,” whose government has committed “terrible atrocities.” Sen. John McCain, who lost the presidential election to Obama in 2008 and has been a frequent critic on foreign policy, said Monday that the administration had miscalculated the necessity for
WASTEWATER Construction to begin in 2015 Continued from Page A1 “You’ll be able to get a feel for what you will see,” he added, noting that there will still be some other hurdles to leap before construction can begin. “There is also a land use component. We will go to the planning commission
the United States to keep a residual force of troops in Iraq after the war there ended. “We predicted exactly what would happen. ... It’s like watching a train wreck,” McCain, R-Ariz., said on CNN. “A residual force would have stabilized the situation. It is a direct result of our failure to leave a residual force there.” The United States and the government of then-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki could not come to terms on agreement providing a residual force of American troops to remain in Iraq. Obama said his first priority now is degrading the extremists who are threatening Iraq and the West. To defeat them, he acknowledged, would require a competent local ground force, something no analyst predicts will surface any time soon in Syria, despite U.S. plans to arm and train “moderate” rebels. The U.S. has said it would not cooperate with the Assad government. “Right now, we’ve got a campaign plan that has a strong chance for success in Iraq,” the president said. “Syria is a more challenging situation.” House Speaker John Boehner questioned Obama’s strategy to destroy the Islamic State group. Boehner said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the U.S. may have “no choice” but to send in American troops if the mix of U.S.-led airstrikes and a ground campaign reliant on Iraqi forces, Kurdish fighters and moderate Syrian rebels fails to achieve that goal. “These are barbarians. They intend to kill us,” Boehner said. “And if we don’t destroy them first, we’re going to pay the price.”

Bobcats win Taft tourney THE WORLD Myrtle Point’s volleyball team won the Taft Tournament on Saturday. “The girls played great,” Myrtle Point coach Tami Brown said. The Bobcats beat Class 4A Yamhill-Carlton 25-23, 25-21 in the championship game after topping Class 3A Taft 25-10, 25-16 in the semifinals. In pool play, Myrtle Point won six straight games, all against different teams. Their 25-18 win over YamhillCarlton was the best the team has played all year, Brown said. “The passing was right on, the sets were great and the hits were kills,” she said. “The girls played together as a team and had nearly a perfect game.” Morgan Newton finished the day with 97 assists. Grace Hermann had 43 kills, Kayley Leslie added 38 kills and Nicole Seals had 23 kills and 14 blocks. Nikki Miller had 28 digs and also had an ace to clinch the first game of the championship match. The Bobcats visit Reedsport in a key Sunset Conference match Tuesday. Gold Beach was also in the tournament and beat Toledo 2516, 25-19; but lost to Gladstone 2512, 25-15. McKenzie RPI Tournament: Reedsport beat Days Creek, but lost to two other foes in the annual tournament at Blue River. The Braves topped the Wolves, the team that beat Reedsport for the state title last fall, 25-15, 25-16, 21-25, 25-12. Reedsport also lost to Culver 25-13, 25-21; and fell to host McKenzie 25-11, 14-25, 15-10. Santiam Christian tournament: Marshfield won one of its four matches in the tournament near Corvallis on Saturday. “We played some very solid teams today,” Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel said. “We had stretches of play where we looked great, but unfortunately could not sustain that for the whole match. “Inconsistency plagued us today and against top-ranked teams you have to be at your best all match long.”

Heritage Hall opens to great reviews BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
COOS BAY — As the many guests looked at the various exhibits in Marshfield’s Heritage Hall during its grand opening Saturday, the people who helped make the vision become a reality said they were thrilled with how it turned out. “We amazed ourselves,” Nancy Tedder said. “It did come out great.” Tedder was one of several people on the Heritage Hall committee, along with Mary Paczesniak, Butch Shields, Sandy Reiber, Bryan Trendell, Greg Mulkey, Mike George and Boyd Bjorkquist. “It’s been an awesome project,” Paczesniak said. “It’s been so much fun to work on.” The walls on one side of Heritage Hall are covered with collages representing each of the decades since 1900. The other side has cabinets filled with various exhibits celebrating athletics, academics, community and people who have gone on to greatness after Marshfield High School. “I think it’s a great tribute,” said Linda Prefontaine, the brother of legendary Marshfield graduate Steve Prefontaine and a standout athlete herself. “I like the fact that it isn’t just about sports. “I think it’s a great honor to pick out people who have done so much in the community, and it’s nothing to do about sports. We’ve had some amazing people come out of this community.” Prefontaine was one of three people who helped cut the ribbon to officially open Heritage Hall, along with Jacque Shields and Patty Borcher.
One of the displays on the walls of the newly opened Heritage Hall includes several photos and a quote about Marshfield graduate Steve Prefontaine. The three ribbon cutters represented the three capstone donors, who gave big donations to help get the project started — the Steve
Prefontaine Committee, Butch and Jacque Shields and Borcher, whose late husband Bill was a renowned basketball coach and community member. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here today,” George said of the capstone donors. Jacque Shields said that making a big contribution was an easy decision for she and her husband, both 1965 Marshfield graduates, as was Butch serving on the committee. “It was a labor of love,” she said, adding that she’s delighted with how the hall has turned out. “I think it’s marvelous.” Many, many people and businesses contributed to the project. In all, about $240,000 was raised and nearly the same amount was contributed in in-kind donations. All of the contributors were credited for their help in the project in remarks by George and Bjorkquist. “We’re here to welcome and thank a bunch of people,” George said. “Everyone in this room played a huge role in making this happen. We can’t say thank you too many times.” The committee had three main goals with the project, he said. “We wanted something positive to happen for Marshfield High School and the Coos Bay School District,” he said. “We wanted to celebrate somehow the tradition and history of Marshfield High School.” The third goal, he said, was “to inspire the current students so they would make good decisions and take ownership in Marshfield High School.” SEE HERITAGE | B5
Marshfield inducts Hall of Fame class
Athletics end Seattle hopes on final day of the regular season ■
BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Texas — The Oakland Athletics waited until the last day of the regular season to finally clinch their third consecutive playoff berth. Adam Dunn’s wait to make the postseason for the first time lasted much longer: 2,001 games over 14 seasons. “It’s what you work for your whole career,” said Dunn, who was traded to Oakland from the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 31. “I don’t know how fair it is that I get to enjoy kind of the fruit of their labor, but beggars can’t be choosers.” Sonny Gray (14-10) pitched a six-hitter to win for the first time in five September starts and Josh Reddick had an RBI triple. The A’s play the win-or-gohome wild-card game Tuesday night at Kansas City, which won five of the seven games in the season series against Oakland (8874). Manager Bob Melvin stood in the middle of the clubhouse and gathered the team around him. “We’re in. That’s three in a row,” he said before being showered with champagne and beer. After winning the AL West the past two seasons, the A’s finally got in this time after a prolonged slump. SEE BASEBALL | B4

Coquille honorees thank supporters BY JOHN GUNTHER The World
COQUILLE — Coquille’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony was filled with the typical thank yous to parents and coaches Saturday night. But a big theme was thanking the Coquille Booster Club, which puts on the annual banquet. The evening also includes an auction. All the money the club raises goes back into the athletic programs at the school. “Thank all of you involved in the booster club,” said Ken Martin, one of the four individuals inducted Saturday. “In the smallest
ways, it makes a big difference in people’s lives.” Martin, who graduated in 1976, was a standout runner for the Red Devils and later became a two-time United States marathon champion. He was joined by 1990 graduate Carolyn Leary, a three-sport star; 2006 graduate Holli Dieu, a state cross country and track champion; and 1966 graduate Dave Glenz, a state champion golfer and the member of a state title-winning basketball team. Glenz, who is one of the country’s most renowned golf instructors, was unable to attend Saturday’s ceremony. SEE COQUILLE | B5
COOS BAY — Saturday was night of remembrance and recognition for Marshfield High School, as the Pirates honored six new inductees at their annual Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet at The Mill Casino, Hotel and RV Park’s Salmon Room. This year’s inductees were Don Bruce, Ken Hunt, Chuck Crandall, Ken Tedder and Mark Henke along with the 1995 Marshfield State Championship Dance Team. “Every class is unique and this class is just a fun class,” Marshfield athletic director Greg Mulkey said after finishing his duties as the master of ceremonies for the evening. “Everybody that was inducted here tonight was unique in their own way.” A nine-person committee selected the nominees last spring, and Clarinda Wilson, a premiere track and field athlete for the Pirates in the 1980s, was invited but wasn’t able to attend due to scheduling conflicts. Mulkey expects her to be in attendance next year. Two inductees who weren’t in attendance were Bruce and Hunt, who are both deceased. They were part of Marshfield’s 1947 state basketball team, the Pirates’ first ever official state championship in any sport (the 1947 team was inducted as a whole in 2004). Bruce was first team all-tournament in 1947 and second-team in 1948. Hunt had the same honors, only the teams and years were flipped.
Their teammate Dick Moan was there to receive the award in their honor. “They were men amongst folks,” Mulkey said of the two, adding that, “If they weren’t fishing, and they weren’t fishing and they weren’t fishing, they played basketball.” Before graduating from Marshfield in 1954, Crandall’s hall of fame resume as an athlete included competing in football, track and basketball — back when Marshfield legend Pete Susick was head coach for football and assistant for basketball. Crandall can claim scoring the first basket at Pirate Palace when he snuck in during its construction as a sophomore and hit a layup back in 1952. He also held the county mile record with a time he said was “so slow, I’m happy he didn’t put it in (the program).” Crandall coached and taught at Marshfield from 1966 to 1994 as well. Crandall was the final Pirate to be inducted and was like a headlining comic, delivering haymaker house laughs one after the other. The old Pirate basketball coach shared stories of how he was mistaken for a Special Olympian and his superstitions like shining his shoes before every game. He closed with an anecdote about how he taped up ripped pants at halftime because they were lucky. Then there’s how he deals with his time away form the bench now. SEE MARSHFIELD | B5

Sports Gordon wins at Monster Mile DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jeff Gordon doused Team Penske’s hot streak with a champagne bath in Victory Lane. Sticky and sweet, Gordon had secured an emphatic automatic spot in the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But Gordon’s entry in the field of 12 was all but guaranteed even before he dominated the closing laps Sunday at Dover International Speedway. What wasn’t so sure was that Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne was coming along for the ride. Kahne survived a bumpy 400 miles, falling four laps back before rallying for a 20th-place finish to nab the 12th and final spot in the field. “Kasey made it a pretty long day,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “We were watching the monitor at the end of the race hoping that we didn’t have a caution and Jeff could win it and Kasey could get in. I didn’t know exactly how close it was going to be until I watched that monitor.” NASCAR tried to inject its 10-race Chase format with a revamped formula for crowning a champion this season. Under NASCAR’s elimination format, four drivers will be knocked out after every third race. Dover marked the third race. That meant plenty of nerves all around the track — and tons of scoreboard watching. AJ Busch, Kurt Allmendinger, Greg Biffle and Aric Almirola were eliminated from championship contention. Four more drivers will drop out following the next three-race segment

Jeff Gordon sprays champagne in Victory Lane after he won the NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. that starts next week at Kansas Speedway. Gordon joined Chase winners Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano as the three drivers who were guaranteed a berth in the next Chase round with victories. “I think it makes a statement of what type of team we are,” Gordon said after his fourth win of the season and 92nd overall. “I think that it makes a statement that we’re a team to beat for this championship.” Kevin Harvick also advanced, along with the Hendrick duo of Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin. Hamlin was the lone driver of the bottom four entering Dover to race his way into the top 12. The points will reset for the Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega bracket. “The tracks just keep getting better for us as the Chase goes on,” Hamlin said. “This is going to be a great comeback story.” Gordon won for the fifth time at Dover and first since 2001, when he won the last of his four Cup championships. “I’m excited about our
chances, not just these next three, but all the way to Homestead,” Gordon said. With crew chief Kenny Francis steadying the course after rough pit stops on the No. 5, Kahne survived a scramble that saw him nudge out Allmendinger for the final spot. Allmendinger fell two points shy of the cutoff. Busch was six off, Biffle seven and Almirola 18. “I never really got nervous at all and I just raced real hard the whole time,” Kahne said. “Kenny started telling me we were tied for 12th and this was with 30 to go. Then he would tell me we were one point in and then maybe two points in, and then he wasn’t positive. Then I started getting a little bit worried, so it was intense inside the car.” Team Penske was rolling, winning four of the last five races dating to Bristol, including the first two Chase races. Keselowski was second at Dover to continue his strong Chase effort through three races. Johnson, Logano and Kenseth completed the top five at Dover. Chase drivers took 10 of 13 spots. Kyle Larson was sixth for the best finish among non-Chase drivers. Tony Stewart was

Harvick appeared to have the car to beat and led a whopping 223 laps from his seventh pole of the season until he suffered tire woes and finished 13th. “We can beat every car on the race track. We just need some good luck,” Harvick said. “If we get some luck, we’ll win races and have a shot at the championship.” Kurt Busch, the 2004 Cup champion, failed to advance in his milestone 500th career start. Gordon had the top car down the stretch and led the last 71 laps to lead a banner day for Hendrick. At 43, Gordon entered the season answering questions about retirement. After wins at Indianapolis, Kansas, Michigan and Dover for his first four-win season since he had six in 2007, Gordon is answering questions about championships and hitting the 100-victory mark. “I don’t think we’re going to get to 100 this year,” Gordon said, “but I hope we get past 93. That would be pretty awesome to get a couple more.”

Tirfi Tsegaye won the women’s race in 2:20:18, with fellow Ethiopian Feyse Tadese second in 2.20.27.

Polesitter Joey Logano was second. Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher and Elliott Sadler completed the top five.
Europe romps in Ryder Cup GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Tom Watson walked over to congratulate Jamie Donaldson for the shot of his life, a shot that ended the Ryder Cup. He walked up the 15th fairway at Gleneagles with his arm around European captain Paul McGinley even before the final match was conceded to secure another win for Europe. Europe left no doubt who had the best team, if not the best players. This Ryder Cup provided a real surprise — but only after it was over. The strongest opponent Watson faced Sunday might have been one of his own players. Just as the European party was getting started, Phil Mickelson took a not-sosubtle dig at Watson — with the U.S. captain just six seats away on the dais — by questioning why the Americans have strayed from a winning formula in which the players were more involved. Mickelson praised Paul Azinger’s captaincy in 2008 — the only U.S. victory in the last 15 years — for creating a “pod” system in which players felt invested in every aspect of the team. “Nobody here was in any decision,” Mickelson said, which no doubt included Watson’s decision to bench Lefty for both sessions on Saturday when Europe built a lead that was too much for this American team to overcome. Watson stared blankly as Mickelson spoke. When asked to respond, he was just as even in speech as Mickelson was in the backhanded criticism. “I had a different philosophy as far as being a captain of this team,” Watson said. “It takes 12 players to win. It’s not pods. It’s 12 players.” Watson said there would be room for second-guessing — every losing captain goes through that. “The bottom line is they kicked our butts,” Watson said. Even amid the American bickering, there was no doubting that. 1 The score — Europe 16 ⁄2, United States 11 1⁄ 2 — was

And so was the way Europe completed its eighth Ryder Cup victory over the last 10 times. It began with Rory McIlroy, the best player in the world producing a brand of golf that showed clearly why he won the last two majors. He was 6-under par in his opening six holes to build a 5up lead over Rickie Fowler, the first point for Europe. Whatever hopes the Americans had building momentum was put to rest by Graeme McDowell and Justin Rose, both of whom overcame big deficits with rallies that made the outcome inevitable. And then there was Donaldson, the 38-year-old Ryder Cup rookie for Wales. Donaldson secured a tie when he was 4 up with four holes to play against Keegan Bradley. And then he gave this European performance the finish it deserved. Donaldson hit 9-iron from 146 yards onto the green at No. 15, and the ball kept rolling toward the flag until it settled about 18 inches away. Watson knew it was over and shook hands with Donaldson. Bradley walked onto the front of the green, saw the ball next to the hole and removed his cap. It was over. “It came down to me to close it out,” Donaldson said. “But it’s all about the team.” The PGA of America brought Watson back as captain — at 65, the oldest in Ryder Cup history — hopeful that he could repeat some history of his own. Watson
was the last U.S. captain to win a Ryder Cup on European soil. That one ended with Davis Love III — in his first Ryder Cup — clinching the cup for the Americans by raising his hands in the air. This one ended badly for the Americans, in a conference room instead of on the course. Watson said he had a pit in his stomach watching the Americans blow a 10-6 lead at Medinah two years ago. The difference as captain? “Not a damn thing,” he said. “It hurts.” McGinley talked all week about a template of European success. The message was to embrace their role as the favorites, and to be proud that they had earned it. And the final instruction was to avoid complacency. Europe won the Sunday singles session for the second straight Ryder Cup. “I didn’t execute the plan. All these guys sitting at this table did,” McGinley said with the 17-inch trophy on display. “I know how difficult it is to play in a Ryder Cup. I know when your heart is jumping out of your chest how incredibly excited and nervous you are. But we relish this challenge. We did it with a smile on our face, which is so important. And we did everybody proud.” The Americans had a few bright spots. Patrick Reed led a solid debut of the three rookies, who accounted for about 45 percent of their team’s points.

Zimmermann caps regular season with no-hitter WASHINGTON (AP) — One out away from pitching the Washington Nationals’ first no-hitter, Jordan Zimmermann watched his 104th pitch on a crisp, clear Sunday afternoon get smacked toward deep left-center. Zimmermann leaned his head back and winced. His first thought: “Double. Nodoubt double.” “And then,” the righthander said later, “he comes out of nowhere and makes that catch.” Thanks to a dramatic, diving grab by little-used rookie Steven Souza Jr., who came on as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning, Zimmermann completed his gem, a 1-0 victory for the NL East champion Nationals over the Miami Marlins. “I thought there was no way this would ever happen.
My career numbers are something like one hit per inning, so I figure if I can make it out of the first, the hit’s coming in the second,” said the 28-yearold Zimmermann, a quiet guy who was a second-round draft pick in 2007 out of Division III University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. “But today was one of those special days.” Almost morphed into a one-hitter, though. With two outs in the ninth and a 2-1 count, Marlins leadoff man Christian Yelich turned on a 94 mph fastball over the plate. Souza was shaded well over toward the left-field line at a coach’s prompting. “He probably couldn’t have been more out of position,” said right fielder Jayson Werth, who watched it all unfold from what became a nearly silent home dugout. “I was just thinking to
myself, ‘It is not optimal to be Steven Souza right now, because as soon as you come into the game, every time, the ball’s going to find you,”’ Werth said. “I had a feeling something crazy would happen. But not that crazy, that’s for sure.” Souza sprinted, extended his glove and leaped for the sensational catch, using his bare hand to squeeze the ball in his mitt as he fell. “The one thing on my mind is, no matter how I’m going to get there, I’m going to get there,” Souza said. “Getting there, I kind of blacked out.” Souza held his glove aloft to show he had the ball. Zimmermann raised both arms. Nationals relievers in the home bullpen lifted their arms, too. So did thousands in the Nationals Park crowd of 35,085, who roared with
every pitch late. “I don’t think anyone in the stadium expected Souza to get to that,” Zimmermann said. Indeed, Miami’s Mike Dunn said he and other relievers in the left-field visitors’ bullpen started cheering as the ball headed their way. “When he caught it,” Dunn said, “it was just like, ‘Really? Did that just happen?”’ Said Yelich: “With that on the line, that might be one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. Ever.” Souza jogged in and Zimmermann greeted him with a hug. Souza handed over the baseball, which Zimmermann shoved in his back pocket. “It was too loud to hear everything he was saying,” Souza said. “But I heard, ‘I love you’ and ‘Thank you.”’

Washington third baseman Kevin Frandsen picks up pitcher Jordan Zimmermann as they celebrate after Zimmermann’s no-hitter Sunday. No major leaguer had thrown a no-hitter in Washington since Bobby Burke did it for the Senators in 1931 against Boston. Quite a way to cap a regular
season in which the Nationals finished with the NL’s best record, 96-66. Washington hosts San Francisco or Pittsburgh in Game 1 of a division series Friday.

Oakland players embrace starting pitcher Sonny Gray after the final out in their wild card-clinching 4-0 win against Texas on Sunday.
BASEBALL From Page B1 The A’s lost 30 of their previous 45 games before winning game No. 162. “Now the pressure’s off, and now we just go out there and play,” said Gray, the 24year-old right-hander who struck out five with no walks in his second career complete-game shutout, both this season against Texas. “That was a huge,” said Jon Lester (16-11), the midseason addition who pitched in two World Series for Boston and will start will start the wild-card game. “That’s one of the more impressive games I’ve gotten to watch in a while.” After winning the AL West title the past two seasons, Oakland went into its game Aug. 10 a big leaguebest 72-44 record, good for a four-game division lead and an 11-game edge in the wildcard standings. Dunn’s 2,001 career games with the A’s, White Sox, Cincinnati Arizona and Washington were the most by any active player before getting into the postseason. The 34-year-old slugger has said he plans to retire after this season when his contract is set to expire, and waived his no-trade clause for the White Sox to send him to the A’s less than a month ago. Dunn got doused repeatedly during the celebration, and at one point dived onto the already-soaked floor after encouraging shouts from his teammates, who then showered him again. “I played scenarios of this day out in my head probably a thousand times,” Dunn said. “I just want to celebrate with this team.” Mariners 4, Angels 1: The Mariners were eliminated in the fifth inning when Oakland’s game ended, and Felix Hernandez (15-6) pitched five shutout innings to secure the AL ERA title at 2.14, just beating Chris Sale of the White Sox (2.17). Seattle’s 87 wins in the first season of All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano were its most since 2007. The

St. Louis clinched its second straight NL Central title before the first pitch when Pittsburgh lost to Cincinnati, then beat Arizona 1-0 on Kolten Wong’s RBI groundout in the sixth inning off Josh Collmenter (11-9). St. Louis finished 90-72 and opens their NL division series Friday at the Dodgers. The defending NL champions scratched scheduled starter Adam Wainwright, using five relievers instead.

Reds 4, Pirates 1: Johnny Cueto (20-9) hit an RBI single off Tony Watson (10-2) in the eighth and gave up six hits in eight innings, including Neil Walker’s homer. Kristopher Negron added a two-run homer off Justin Wilson. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 36th save in 38 chances. Pittsburgh hosts San Francisco in the NL wildcard game Wednesday, with the winner advacing to a division series against Washington.

San Diego (77-85) lost its final three games and finished third in the NL West at 77-85.

Zack Greinke (17-8) defeated rookie Christian Bergman (3-5), setting a career high for wins. NATIONAL LEAGUE Colorado’s Justin Cardinals 1, Arizona 0: Morneau won the NL batting
Mariners had a 1 ⁄2-game lead for the second wild card on the morning of Sept. 7 but lost 12 of their next 17 games. Cory Rasmus (3-2) was the loser for Los Angeles, which finished with the major leagues’ best regularseason record at 98-64 and plays Kansas City or Oakland in the division series. Tigers 3, Twins 0: David Price (15-12) allowed four hits in 7 1-3 innings, clinching Detroit’s fourth straight AL Central title. Ian Kinsler hit a solo homer in the third, and the Tigers added two more runs in the eighth off Kyle Gibson (13-12). Detroit entered with a postseason berth already wrapped up, but the Tigers led the division by only one game over Kansas City. The Tigers face Baltimore in the AL division series. Royals 6, White Sox 4: Right after Detroit secured its fourth straight division title, Kansas City manager Ned Yost started pulling some of his regulars from the lineu Chicago’s Paul Konerko went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts on the final day of his 18-year big league career.

Luis Avilan (4-1) pitched two scoreless innings, and Craig Kimbrel got his leagueleading 47th save. Philadelphia (73-89) finished with an identical record to 2013 and had consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 1999-00. The Phillies were last for the first time since 2000. Cubs 5, Brewers 2: Anthony Rizzo had a tworun homer in the first off Mike Fiers (6-5), becoming the Cubs’ first Cubs lefthanded hitter with 32 homers since Rick Monday in 1976. At 73-89, the Cubs improved from 66-96 last year and 61-101 in 2012 as they seek their first World Series title since 1908. Milwaukee lost 22 of its last 31 and finished third at 82-80, missing the playoffs for the third straight year.
INTERLEAGUE Mets 8, Astros 3: Jose Altuve talked his way into the lineup and went 2-for-4 to finish with a .341 average and become Houston’s first batting champion. Detroit’s Victor Martinez was 0-for-3 and wound up at .335. Bobby Abreu sparked the decisive rally with a base hit in his final big league at-bat. Lucas Duda homered and drove in four runs, and Bartolo Colon (15-13) reached 15 wins for the eighth time. The Mets (79-83) finished tied for second in the NL East, their highest spot in the standings since 2008. Houston (70-92) improved by 19 wins over last year, the second-best turnaround in the majors behind the Angels. Duda’s two-run double off rookie Nick Tropeano (1-3) snapped a fifth-inning tie, moments after Abreu singled to left.
BOSTON (AP) — The ball, marked and numbered for the occasion, bounced high off the dirt and down the third-base line, where a rookie who was 4 years-old when Derek Jeter made his major league debut leaped into the air to attempt a barehanded play. It went off of his palm and onto the grass, and by that time Jeter was safe at first with hit No. 3,465 — sixth all-time, and the most in franchise history — along with the 1,311th RBI of a career in which he established himself as the New York Yankees’ consummate captain and, for two decades, the face of baseball. Jeter bid baseball adieu with an RBI single on a chopper, a dugout full of hugs and a final wave to the fans on Sunday, concluding his Hall of Fame career by helping the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9-5. “In an era where few heroes exist, over a 20-year span he represented the sport and himself in an absolutely magnificent way. It’s almost hard to believe,” commissioner Bud Selig said this weekend when he stopped by Fenway for his own farewell tour. “He makes one proud.” Three days after an emotional farewell in New York, pinstripe-wearing fans filled Fenway Park for Jeter’s finale, chanting for him and the visiting Yankees and standing for each of his at-bats. After a hard line-drive out in the first inning, Jeter delivered his final hit as part of a fourrun third inning, then left for a pinch hitter and headed into retirement. “I’m ready for it now,” Jeter said after the final out. “The plan was two at-bats. I was lucky I got a hit. I guess I hit the right part of the plate.” Jeter’s departure gave some import to an otherwise meaningless game between the longtime AL East rivals, who missed the playoffs together for the first time in 20 years. The last-place Red Sox — the defending World Series champions — are the first team in baseball history to go from worst to first and back to worst in three consecutive seasons. Michael Pineda (5-5) earned the victory as the Yankees finished in second place, 12 games behind the division-winning Baltimore Orioles and too far back in the wild-card standings to make the weekend series count. Clay Buchholz (8-11) gave up Ichiro Suzuki’s tworun triple before in the fourth, then entered trivia history as the last pitcher to give up a hit to Jeter. After a walk and a single
and a wild pitch put runners on second and third, Suzuki lined the ball into the Fenway triangle, the deepest part of the ballpark, where it rolled under the 420-foot sign and stopped. Fans moaned that he was not waved home for an inside-the-park homer, but with Ichiro at third it meant that Jeter would be coming to bat with another RBI opportunity. The 40-year-old shortstop, in the lineup this weekend as the designated hitter, took a strike, took a ball and then fouled one off before bouncing a high chopper to third. Garin Cecchini, 23, tried to make a one-handed play but couldn’t. All eyes turned to the Jeter, safe at first, waiting to see if that was it. And when Brian McCann came out of the dugout to replace him as a pinch runner, the Captain’s career was over — 46 years to the day after Mickey Mantle ended his on the same field. The final hit raised Jeter’s lifetime batting average to .310. Jeter pointed at the applauding Red Sox, hugged pitcher Clay Buchholz and then stopped in front of the Yankees dugout to tip his helmet to the crowd. Buchholz waited behind the mound to give the cheers a chance to subside, and then Jeter disappeared into the dugout. The Yankees scored five more in the top of the seventh inning and Boston put five across in the bottom half, but by that time the ballpark was half-empty. The fans had gotten what they wanted. The sun-soaked day began with a 30-minute ceremony in which Jeter was serenaded with “Respect” and presented with some local baubles: Second base emblazoned with his No. 2, a pair of Yankees-themed boots and a check for $22,222.22 to his Turn 2 Foundation. Former Red Sox players from Carl Yastrzemski to Fred Lynn came out to greet him along with captains from the other local teams: Bruins Hall of Famer Bobby Orr, the Celtics’ Paul Pierce and Troy Brown of the Patriots, followed by the entire 2014 Red Sox team. Jeter’s parents made the trip for his final series, along with thousands of New Yorkers who clogged the MassPike on their way to the game. Fans in Jeter’s No. 2 pinstripes milled unharassed inside the ballpark — a scene unimaginable a decade ago — mixing with Bostonians showing their esteem for a player who relished the rivalry as much as they do.
A-Rod needs to earn spot NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi says returning third baseman Alex Rodriguez will have to show in spring training that he can still play. Rodriguez served a season-long suspension for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract. The three-time AL MVP turns 40 on July 27. Turning his attention to
next season at a Yankee Stadium news conference Monday, Girardi said he expected Rodriguez to be a starter at third but cautioned, “We’ve got to see where he’s physically at.” Rodriguez is signed for three additional seasons for a total of $61 million. New York missed consecutive postseasons for the first time since 1992 and ’93.

Bengals jersey sales soar in cancer benefit
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have received orders for nearly 10,000 Devon Still jerseys, part of an initiative to raise money for pediatric cancer care and research. Still’s 4-year-old daughter, Leah, is being treated for cancer. She had surgery last week. The Bengals offered to donate money from the sale of Still’s No. 75 jersey to Children’s Hospital Medical
Center in Cincinnati. The jerseys cost $100 apiece. So far, more than $1 million has been raised. The Bengals have a link on their website for those who want to donate without buying a jersey. Orders have come from all 50 states as well as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The Bengals announced Sunday that the jersey sale initiative will continue through Oct. 20.

records. He was named the Oregon Male Swimmer of the Year in 1986 and as a senior, he won the 500-yard freestyle state championship and was named an AllAmerican. Henke was revered for his work ethic, throwing up during workouts, swimming in stitches and casts and even rupturing his appendix during a race. “Records and rewards really don’t matter,” said Henke, whom Mulkey called the best male swimmer in Marshfield history. “We always measure success in competition, but the most important part in any athletic or academic endeavor isn’t the result, but the process it takes to achieve a goal. Getting a district or state title is nice and rewarding, but the process in getting there— even if you don’t get that goal — is character defining.” Tedder was Marshfield’s volleyball coach for nearly three decades, acting as a math teacher and coaching from 1979-2004. His career record as a varsity coach was 291-105 and he also coached Oregon Southwestern Community College’s team from 1986-1988. At the banquet, he made it clear he was most proud of how much the kids he coached fell in love with the game. Whenever he watches games at Pirate Palace now — Tedder still lives in town — he looks down from the balcony at the Marshfield coaches, every one of them, from assistants to head coach Tammie Montiel, was coached by Tedder. “I know the program is in good hands and won’t miss a beat,” Tedder said. “The dynasty rolls on.”

49ers hand Eagles first loss
From Page B1
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Philadelphia Eagles got a taste of their own medicine. After three weeks of uplifting rallies to victory, the Eagles lost for the first time, blowing a lead in a 26-21 defeat to the 49ers. San Francisco’s Frank Gore caught a career-best 55-yard touchdown and ran for 119 yards in his first 100-yard game this year. Philadelphia led 21-10 in the second quarter, even though it got no points from its high-powered offense. And the 49ers (2-2) delivered a late goal-line stand as they avoided their first threegame losing streak under fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh, containing the league’s top passer in Nick Foles. He threw two incomplete passes from the 1 in the waning moments. “We had the ball enough,” running back LeSean McCoy said. “We didn’t do anything with it.” Darren Sproles had a career-best 82yard punt return for a touchdown, Malcolm Jenkins ran an interception 53 yards for a score for the Eagles (3-1), and Brad Smith recovered a blocked punt for a TD. But the Niners shut down Philly’s attack, which had scored 34, 30 and 37 points, rallying from at least 10 points down in winning all of those games. “It is very satisfying,” said San Francisco cornerback Perrish Cox, who had a late interception. “We gave up plenty of yards these last two weeks on just penalties. A few third-and-longs, some hands-to-the-face, a couple illegal touchings downfield. Those are tough and tiring at the same time. To go out and hold a great offense like they have, with the tempo they play, to a shutout, it feels good.” Colin Kaepernick threw the short pass that Gore turned into his long TD and also threw a touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson. Phil Dawson kicked four field goals for San Francisco. “I’m a football player,” Gore said. “I just want to play football. Like I tell my coach, when I’m in the game I’m going to do whatever it takes to help my team get a victory.” Cowboys 38, Saints 17: At Arlington, Texas, Tony Romo threw three touchdowns passes, two to Terrance Williams, and DeMarco Murray ran for a pair of scores in another 100-yard game. Murray is the only Cowboys running back aside from Emmitt Smith to rush for 100 yards in each of the first four games of a season. The Cowboys kept Drew Brees and the Saints scoreless in the first half after giving up an NFL-record 40 first downs in a 49-17 blowout loss in New Orleans last year. Dallas (3-1) is tied with Philadelphia for the NFC East lead. The Saints (1-3) and lost to the Cowboys in Texas for the first time since 1991. Buccaneers 27, Steelers 24: At Pittsburgh, Mike Glennon hit a diving Vincent Jackson for a 5-yard touchdown with 7 seconds remaining. It marked quite a turnaround for the
Buccaneers (1-3), who lost to Atlanta by six touchdowns a week ago. Glennon passed for 302 yards in his first start of the season, including a 41yard catch-and-run by Louis Murphy that set up Jackson’s score. Ben Roethlisberger passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns, but Pittsburgh (2-2) couldn’t protect a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter. Antonio Brown caught seven passes for 131 yards and two scores, and Heath Miller added a career-high nine grabs. The Steelers committed 13 penalties for 125 yards. Packers 38, Bears 17: At Chicago, the Packers joined the Bears as the only franchises with 700 regular-season victories. Aaron Rodgers threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns as the Packers (22) scored on their first six possessions. They racked up 358 yards after being held to 223, their lowest total since 2008, a week earlier in a 19-7 loss at Detroit. They intercepted Jay Cutler twice in the third quarter to pull away from the Bears (2-2). That gave Green Bay five straight wins at Soldier Field. Ravens 38, Panthers 10: At Baltimore, Steve Smith punished his former team with seven catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Smith spent 13 seasons with Carolina before he was released in a cost-cutting move during the offseason. The 35-year-old receiver showed the Panthers he can still make the big play, scoring twice in the second quarter to help put Baltimore (3-1) in front 21-7 at halftime. The first touchdown came when Smith grabbed a pass that deflected off the right hand of teammate Owen Daniels. He caught the ball in stride and took it into the end zone to complete a 61-yard play. Smith also scored from 21 yards with a diving reception. Joe Flacco passed for 327 yards and three touchdowns, the other a 24yarder to Torrey Smith. Carolina (2-2) has lost two straight, both in lopsided fashion as its previously strong defense struggled. Chargers 33, Jaguars 14: At San Diego, Philip Rivers threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns, two to Eddie Royal. Royal had scoring catches of 47 and 43 yards, his second straight twotouchdown game. Royal had five catches for 105 yards, Keenan Allen had 10 for 135, both career highs, and Malcom Floyd had a 24-yard touchdown catch for San Diego (3-1). Passing because the Chargers’ running game is nonexistent due to injuries to Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead, Rivers had his second threetouchdown game of the season. Rookie Blake Bortles made his first start for the Jaguars (0-4), threw one touchdown pass, was intercepted twice and twice had Jacksonville in the lead in the first half. Colts 41, Titans 17: At Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes and Reggie Wayne
scored for the first time this season. Indianapolis (2-2) extended its leagueleading streak of consecutive wins over division foes to nine. Luck was 29 of 41 for a season-best 393 yards. Wayne had seven catches for a season-best 119 yards and scored on a spectacular spinning 28-yard catch. Tennessee (1-3) has lost three straight. Vikings 41, Falcons 28: At Minneapolis, rookie Teddy Bridgewater passed for 317 yards and a key 2-point conversion before leaving with a left ankle injury. He was 19-for-30 with no turnovers and ran five times for 27 yards and a score in his first career start. Matt Asiata had three touchdowns on the ground for Minnesota (2-2). The Falcons (2-2) lost three starting offensive linemen to injuries and wound up sticking tight end Levine Toilolo at right tackle in the fourth quarter. Dolphins 38, Raiders 14: At London’s Wembley Stadium, Ryan Tannehill threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the latest international game. Tannehill took advantage of a depleted Oakland defense to snap a two-game slide for the Dolphins (2-2). The Raiders (0-4) scored on their opening drive but struggled after that. And starting quarterback Derek Carr was injured in the third quarter, replaced by third-stringer Matt McGloin. Tannehill threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace and an 18yarder to Dion Sims. Lamar Miller rushed for two more TDs, and cornerback Cortland Finnegan ran back a fumble 50 yards for another. Lions 24, Jets 17: At East Rutherford, New Jersey, Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Lions overcame Calvin Johnson being limited by an ankle injury. Jeremy Ross and Eric Ebron caught scoring passes for the Lions (3-1), and Stafford passed for 293 yards. Golden Tate had a big game, catching eight passes for 116 yards. A struggling Geno Smith had two more turnovers as chants of “We Want Vick!” echoed throughout MetLife Stadium at times. The Jets, who made it close on Chris Johnson’s 35-yard run with 6:58 left, fell to 1-3 for the first time in Rex Ryan’s six seasons as coach. Texans 23, Bills 17: At Houston, J.J. Watt turned the game with a highlightreel play. Houston (3-1) was down by three in the third quarter and Ryan Fitzpatrick had just thrown a second interception when the 6-foot-5, 289pound Watt returned an interception 80 yards to put the Texans up 14-10. The defensive end caught a touchdown pass in Week 2, giving him more TDs this year than Arian Foster and Andre Johnson combined. Under heavy pressure all afternoon, EJ Manuel finished with 225 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Bills (2-2). Buffalo was driving late when Darryl Morris picked him off at the Houston 15 to secure the victory.
“I still coach, but I coach out of the rocking chair at the TV and (my wife) doesn’t like sports and she’s seen enough of it,” Crandall said. “That doesn’t go over too well at our place.” Ten members of the dance team attended the ceremony. Kelsey Knutson, Tara Mahon, Tina Malcolm, Julia Matejka, Sarah Mohr, Heather Van Rij, Krissy Hanson, Erin Gould and Melissa Danville were on hand Saturday along with head coach Judy Parker and assistant Bill Lilley. Malcolm, speaking for the team, said the spandex shorts they used were “cutting edge” and that choreographing the routine themselves — along with having assistant football coach Lilley offering pep talks before performances — added to their advantages going into state. The Upbeats won the next year in 1996 and will be honored again in 2015 for that title. At the banquet, they showed a video of their final performance, a routine that holds up well and still seems relatively hip nearly 20 years later. “We knew we just won,” Malcolm said. “We absolutely knew we won. You can see it in the video we knew it was our best performance ever.” Marshfield swimmer Henke’s credentials might’ve been the best of the evening.

Coquille also honored both its 1959 and 1961 state c h a m p i o n b oys t ra c k teams. Ed Marsh and Bill Kirby, the state mile champion, represented the 1959 team, while state champion hurdler Bill White from the 1961 team also was at the ceremony. Both teams were coached by Clyde Townsend, who was represented by his daughter, Janet Reab, and her son, Gabriel. The inductees were honored during halftime of Friday night’s football game and then again during the banquet Saturday at the Community Coquille Building. Leary, who now lives on the East Coast, said the trip back to Coquille was rewarding. “I feel blessed to come back to the community,” she said. “I haven’t been to a the stage for Bradley, whose football game in 24 years.

Timbers lose captain and match in Toronto TORONTO (AP) — Portland captain Will Johnson broke his right fibula and tibia in a collision in the first minute of the Timbers’ 3-2 loss to Toronto FC on Sunday. Johnson had surgery to stabilize the injury Sunday and is expected to miss about six months. The Canadian international was hurt when he went shin-on-shin in a 50-50 challenge with Toronto fullback Mark Bloom that saw both players slide to get at the ball. “I didn’t get a great view. Not sure if I’ll watch it again,” Portland coach Caleb Porter said. “It was a tackle. Two
guys went in and he got the wrong end of it. It was unfortunate and tough, but I was really pleased with the way the guys responded. Sometimes you lose your captain and it sends your group into a funk, but I thought we responded really well.” Bloom also went down in the collision with the Toronto-born Johnson, but was able to continue. “For me it was just a matter of getting up and walking it off,” Bloom said. “Unfortunately, for him, it was more intense.” There was no call on the play. Michael Bradley scored in
the 89th minute to complete Toronto FC’s three-goal, second-half comeback. Bradley played youth soccer with Johnson in Chicago and the two have been teammates in Europe. They were in each other’s weddings. “As a player and as a competitor you hate to see anybody get hurt. But when it’s one of your closest friends it’s not nice at all,” Bradley said. “They both went in very hard. On the one hand you expected that they were both going to pop right up and on the other hand that play had a harder tone to it.” Rookie defender Nick Hagglund scored twice to set

Sports SEC will clear up some on Saturday BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

OSU offense falls flat at USC LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oregon State’s defense and special teams did their part to break a 23-game losing streak at the Coliseum that dates to the Eisenhower administration. The Beavers’ offensive failures, however, ensured that at least one more President will be added to the roster of Commanders in Chief during a run of futility that goes back to 1960. Cody Kessler passed for 261 yards and two touchdowns, and Justin Davis scored twice in No. 18 Southern California’s 35-10 victory over Oregon State on Saturday night. The Beavers (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) managed a woeful 181 yards and didn’t score an offensive touchdown for the first time since a November 2011 loss to California. “The story of the game was we never responded offensively, to score points or to control the ball, and our defense wore out,” Riley said. “I would say we were probably disruptive. That was probably the best way to put our offensive performance.” Darreus Rogers caught a 48-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass at the halftime gun as the Trojans (3-1, 2-0 Pac12) rebounded smartly from their first loss with solid defense and another stellar game from Kessler, who went 24 for 32 while leading a 461-yard offensive performance. The Trojans had a bye after their upset loss at Boston College knocked them out of the Top 10. USC started tentatively in its first game back at the Coliseum, but Su’a Cravens’ clever
interception lit a spark. “I think it was just sloppy on my part,” Mannion said. “I take full responsibility for our offensive performance. I expect a lot more out of myself, and I’m certainly not satisfied with the way I played and the way our offense played as a whole.” Davis caught a 16-yard TD pass and ran for a fourth-quarter score for the Trojans. Javorius Allen added 115 yards rushing and a touchdown as USC roared back from an early deficit, scoring the final 28 points and playing 41 shutout minutes. “We just had to get back to the basics to get over a loss,” said Cravens, who also had a team-leading six tackles and a sack. “We had to do our job and execute.” Despite 14 penalties for 124 yards, the Trojans moved the ball steadily when their defense wasn’t thoroughly stifling Oregon State, which managed only 63 yards and no points after taking a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter. Ryan Murphy returned a kickoff 97 yards for a TD for Oregon State, which struggled in its first serious test of the season. Mannion went 15 of 32 for 123 yards with two interceptions for the Beavers. “Even though we weren’t doing much offensively, our defense played a lot of good football there for a long time,” Riley said. “I think our team had some confidence we could do some stuff.” Oregon State showed little of its usual offensive pop after three straight
victories over lower-tier opponents to open the season, and Mannion didn’t look sharp in the California native’s first appearance at the Coliseum. After Cravens’ first career touchdown in the first quarter, Murphy took the ensuing kickoff straight down the Beavers’ sideline for a TD, making the fifth-longest kick return in school history on his first career return. Murphy has been lobbying Riley for a spot on kick returns. “I guess he proved his point,” Riley said. “He’s a good football player. He made a lot of good plays in this game and really played his heart out, too.” But Oregon State was unable to match its early success running the ball — although Storm Woods finished with 61 yards rushing on nine carries and added 17 yards receiving on three catches — with any of the big plays in the passing game that have propelled Mannion to third on the Pac-12’s career passing yards list. “Our defense answered. Our special teams answered. That’s a mistake that I’ve got to clean up and I take responsibility for,” Mannion said. As the first half ended, Kessler ducked away from several tacklers and launched a pass to the goal line. Several Beavers defenders did little to stop Rogers, whose biggest competition for the ball was from a teammate. Oregon State lost starting defensive tackle Jalen Grimble, the brother of former USC tight end Xavier Grimble, to a knee injury. Riley did not immediately know the extent of the injury.
Cal wins shootout with Colorado THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERKELEY, Calif. — Jared Goff threw seven touchdown passes and California used a rare defensive stop and a 34yard field goal in double overtime from James Langford to snap a 15-game Pac-12 losing streak by beating Colorado 59-56 on Saturday. On a day that Goff and Sefo Liufau both threw seven to u c h d o w n passes and the teams c o m bined for more than 1,200 yards offense it ended up being defense and the kicker that won the game for the Golden Bears (3-1, 1-1). Colorado (2-3, 0-2) could not punch it in after having first-and-goal from the 2 to open the second overtime, as Cal stopped four straight running plays capped by Jalen Jefferson knocking Liufau for a 3-yard loss on fourth down from the 1. Cal failed to get a first down on its possession but Langford came on and calmly drilled the kick that gave the Bears their first conference win since beating Washington State on Oct. 13, 2012. Goff finished 23-for-41 for 449 yards, hitting Bryce Treggs on a 25-yard score on the first possession of overtime. Liufau was just as prolific, going 46-for-67 for 449 yards, including a 25-yard score to Nelson Spruce that tied the game after one overtime. Spruce finished with 19 catches for 176 yards and three touchdowns. Goff and Liufau traded big plays down the stretch with each throwing a pair of touchdown passes in the final

Colorado’s Nelson Spruce makes a touchdown reception over California’s Cameron Walker during the second half Saturday. 3:23 of regulation to send the game to overtime. Liufau started the scoring barrage with a 6-yard TD pass to Spruce that put Colorado up 42-35. But that lead was shortlived as Goff was flushed out of the pocket to his right and threw back over the middle where he hit Stephen Anderson in stride for the game-tying 75-yard score. Jake Kearney intercepted Liufau on the next play from scrimmage for Cal. That set the stage for Goff’s 40-yard TD pass to Chris Harper with 2:29 remaining. But a week after allowing five touchdowns, including a
last-second Hail Mary in a 49-45 loss at Arizona, the Bears once again wilted late when Bruce Bobo got behind Cedric Dozier for a 30-yard TD catch with 21 seconds to play that tied the game at 49. No. 16 Stanford 20, Washington 13: Kevin Hogan scored on a 5-yard run with 4:29 remaining, and Stanford took advantage of a poorly timed fake punt to hold off Washington. Hogan and the Cardinal (3-1, 1-1) avoided a potentially costly 0-2 start in Pac-12 play after already losing at home to Southern California. Stanford dominated statistically, but was still tied
midway through the fourth quarter because of continued problems in the red zone. That’s when Washington coach Chris Petersen took a gamble running a fake punt on fourth-and-9 at the Huskies 47. The play was stuffed and Hogan scored on the ensuing possession. The Huskies (4-1, 0-1) had 179 total yards, including just 98 passing. Washington State 28, Utah 27: Connor Halliday threw for 417 yards and four touchdowns, including the game-winning score to Vince Mayle, and Washington State overcame a 17-point halftime deficit to shock Utah. Rain fell steadily throughout but Halliday heated up in the second half, throwing for 267 yards in the final two quarters and the WSU defense came up with key stops to give the Cougars (23, 1-1 Pac-12) the victory. On a drive they started on their own 8, Halliday connected with Mayle in full stride on his route across the middle. Mayle, who had eight receptions for 120 yards, sped untouched 81 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 4:58 remaining. In stark contrast to Halliday, Utah’s Travis Wilson completed 18 of 38 passes for 165 and consistently overthrew receivers or rifled the ball too hard. Devontae Booker rushed 24 times for 178 yards but the Cougars outgained the Utes 495-357. One week after falling just short to No. 2 Oregon (38-31), the Cougars saved their best for last against the previously unbeaten Utes. On fourth-and-14, Halliday waited for Williams to clear to the back of the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:08 to play.
The cure for poll gridlock is next Saturday’s schedule. Six games will match ranked teams, including three Southeastern Conference showdowns involving six West division rivals. Here’s the lineup: — No. 3 Alabama at No. 11 Mississippi — No. 4 Oklahoma at No. 25 TCU — No. 15 LSU at No. 5 Auburn — No. 6 Texas A&M at No. 12 Mississippi State — No. 14 Stanford at No. 9 Notre Dame — No. 19 Nebraska at No. 10 Michigan State Note: No. 2 Oregon hosts unbeaten Arizona on Thursday night. The last two weeks have been highlighted by close calls involving some of the nation’s best teams, with Florida State pulling two great escapes. The latest Seminoles rally resulted in a 56-41 victory at North Carolina State on Saturday. The Seminoles fell behind 24-7 in the first quarter before storming back behind Jameis Winston, who returned from his one-game suspension. Florida State held the top spot in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday, though support for the Seminoles continues to wane. Florida State is down to 27 firstplace votes, after starting the season with 57, and its lead on No. 2 Oregon is 11 points. Oregon received 13. No. 3 Alabama got 13, too, and Oklahoma had seven firstplace votes. The margin between Nos. 1 and 2 is the smallest in the AP poll since the final regular-season poll of 2010, when Auburn was 11 points ahead of Oregon heading into the BCS title game. As for the current rankings, the top seven teams in the poll were unchanged for a second straight week, and there was little movement throughout. Florida State did drop to No. 2 behind Alabama in the USA Today coaches. The Seminoles have looked nothing like the dominant team that routed its way to the BCS championship game in 2013. A rebuilt defense, limited by injuries, has been porous. And an experienced offensive line has been spotty. But it should be noted that Florida State’s early season schedule has been as good — or better — than any highly ranked team. The three FBS opponents Florida State has played (No. 21 Oklahoma State, Clemson and N.C. State) are a combined 9-1 in games not against FSU. As Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Sunday after the ninth-ranked Fighting Irish beat Syracuse 31-15 in a performance that was good in many ways but sloppy in many others (five turnovers): “Winning is hard in college
football, especially against power five teams.” The Seminoles will have a chance to slip into the background next week, playing Wake Forest at home while the other top-ranked teams have spotlight games. By next Sunday, we’ll get to sort out many of these contenders into two piles: Those still in control of their playoff hopes and those who’ll need some help to get back into the national championship chase.
WAY OUT Poor Minnesota. The Gophers beat Michigan for the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 2005, pounding the Wolverines 30-14 in the Big House, and didn’t even get a vote in the AP poll. That’s how far Michigan (2-3) has fallen under coach Brady Hoke. The Wolverines have lost three games in September for the first time in the 135-year history of one of college football’s most famous programs. Hoke is also receiving heat for putting Shane Morris back in the game after the quarterback took a hit that knocked him wobbly. And fans seem to be just as aggravated with athletic director Dave Brandon, who hired Hoke. Fans are angry, and growing apathetic about coming to the Big House and staying for the entire game. “We know their frustrations and we share their frustrations,” Hoke said after the loss to Minnesota. “I would also tell them as a team we all take accountability for it and we also are all going to work together to rectify it.” The atmosphere has been bad enough that the possibility of Hoke being fired during his fourth season doesn’t seem far-fetched. There will probably be more talk about whether the Wolverines can lure former Michigan quarterback and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh back to Ann Arbor this week than about the game Saturday at Rutgers. Kansas became the first FBS program to fire its head coach, cutting Charlie Weis loose four games into his third season on Sunday. How many more ugly losses can Michigan endure before a similar situation plays out in Ann Arbor?
IN AND OUT A week after falling out of the rankings, No. 24 Missouri moved back in. No. 25 TCU made its season debut in the Top 25. Missouri rallied to win 2120 at South Carolina. That dropped the Gamecocks out of the rankings for the first time this season and signaled that the SEC East race could get messy. Missouri, which lost at home to Indiana last week, is the only team in the division without a conference loss. Also falling out was Arizona State, which was blown out 62-27 at home by No. 8 UCLA. The Sun Devils will likely face another ranked team, No. 16 Southern California, this week with Mike Bercovici subbing for starting quarterback Taylor Kelly.
SOU QB sets two NAIA records in win THE WORLD Southern Oregon quarterback Austin Dodge became the NAIA career leader in passing touchdowns and passing yards when he had six touchdown passes in the Raiders’ 45-24 win at Montana StateNorthern on Saturday. Dodge passed for 417 yards as the No. 7 Raiders improved to 5-0 overall and 4-0 in the Frontier Conference. He now has 121 touchdown passes and 13,461 passing yards. He surpassed records of 120 TDs and 13,388 yards set by Ohio Dominican’s Chris Reisert in 2008. Coquille graduate Heston Altenbach had 10 tackles, including six solo tackles in the win.
Humboldt State 34, Western Oregon 16: The Lumberjacks broke a fourgame losing streak to Western Oregon with a dominant defense in the win at Arcata, Calif. Coquille graduate Joe Harris had nine carries for 26 yards and two catches for eight yards for Western Oregon, which was held to minus-22 yards rushing as a team. Eastern Oregon 27, Rocky Mountain 24: Marc David kicked a 30-yard field goal on the game’s final play to give the No. 21 Mountaineers a win over No. 10 Rocky Mountain. Zach Quarterback Bartlow completed 24 of 40 passes for 220 yards and also led the team with 91 yards rushing.

Anticipate your way to freedom Try this: Add up your monthly expenses and deduct the total from your monthly income. Hey, not bad! You should have plenty of money with some left over. So why is there never enough? The answer is your selective amnesia. Most of us suffer from it. We conveniently don’t remember expenses that don’t recur every month. It’s easy in March to EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE fa ob rog ue tt summer vacation, back-toschool c l o t h e s, wedding a n d shower gifts, n e w Mary refrigerHunt ators or myriad other inevitable expenses. The solution is to make all of your expenses as predictable as the rent, phone and cable TV bill. I call my solution a “Freedom Account.” It forces us to anticipate irregular expenses so we can finance our own emergencies. If you remember Christmas Club Accounts, you’ll understand my Freedom Account. Basically you determined how much you would need for Christmas shopping. You authorized the bank to trans1 1 fer ⁄52 each week (or ⁄12 if you did it monthly) from your checking account to your Christmas Club Account. It was painless because you didn’t miss money you didn’t see and the results were huge. You got a big fat check in the mail for holiday shopping. Step 1: Determine irregular expenses. Make a list of your nonmonthly expenses and an annual amount for each (estimate if you don’t know). Divide by 12. This is the amount you need set aside each month. For example: Auto Maint $900/yr ⁄ 12 = $75/mo. Auto Ins $540/yr ⁄ 12 = $45/mo. Christmas $800/yr ⁄ 12 = $66/mo. Property Taxes $600/yr ⁄ 12 = $50/mo. Vacation $720/yr ⁄ 12 = $60/mo. Clothing $600/yr ⁄ 12 = $50/mo. Total $346/mo. S t e p 2 : Open another checking account. You must have two active checking accounts for this to work, and you will need personalized checks for it, too. Continue to deposit your paychecks into your regular checking account. Step 3: Authorize an automatic deposit. Using your bank’s money transfer authorization service, fill out the necessary form to instruct the bank to transfer the monthly total (in the example it is $346) from your regular checking account into your Freedom Account. Step 4: Get a notebook. Any 3-ring binder will do, or you could do this on your computer or mobile device. You want a separate page for each of your categories to record its specific activity. At the top of the page write the name of that sub-account and the amount to be deposited into it each month. I keep my accounting very simple. I can see at a glance the balance in each of my sub accounts. Step 5: Manage your Freedom Account. You have a new monthly expense, in our example it is $346. Like your car payment, your rent or your mortgage, you know it’s coming, you know how much it’s going to be and it will become comfortable. It will take you about five minutes each month to manage your Freedom Account. You will want to make sure you have a current balance in each sub account that reflects the deposit and any checks you’ve written during the month. The secret to breaking your dependence on credit cards is to begin anticipating your irregular expenses. Developing your own Freedom Account is a perfect way to do that.
