Trent Messerle loses battle with cancer BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

COOS BAY — Never surrender. That was the message throughout Trent Messerle's battle with glioblastoma multiforme, a rapidly growing brain tumor. The 26-yearold Coos Bay native was diagnosed with GBM three years ago. Trent died Saturday afternoon, said his

cousin, Amee Springsteen. A recent round of 18 radiation treatments had shrunk the tumors, which doctors said was a good sign. They planned on giving him an MRI every three months to see how he was progressing. While he had lost some of his eyesight and coordination on his right side, his mother, Betsy Messerle, said he was fighting for

recovery. He died just a day after his name was thrown into the local limelight. The North Bend and two Coos Bay Dutch Bros. Coffee locations sponsored "Dutch Love for Trent" on Friday, donating a dollar from every drink toward his medical expenses. "Trent was a genuinely wonderful person who will be missed very much by a lot of people,"

Springsteen said. A spaghetti feed, silent auction and dessert auction are still being organized for next month. The event is planned for 2 p.m. Oct. 19 at the North Bend Community Center. Cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children 4-10 and free for kids 3 and under. Chair massages will be provided by Serenity Therapy for $1 per minute. Local country music

band Border Patrol will provide live entertainment and guests are asked to dress in western gear to honor Trent. All proceeds will go to the Messerle family. Drop-off points for items, including those for the silent auction, are at Shear Heaven, 357 S. Second St., in Coos Bay, and Edward Jones, 2195 Broadway St., in North Bend.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., seen here in 2013, has become one of Congress’s strongest champions for progressive causes, from cracking down on Wall Street to promoting gay rights.

Now a progressive champion, Merkley eyes second term BY JONATHAN J. COOPER The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Jeff Merkley, who was chosen by the Democratic Party establishment over a liberal activist in his first run for U.S. Senate, makes an unlikely hero for the party’s left wing. But in the six years since going to Washington, he has become one of Congress’ strongest champions for progressive causes — from cracking down on Wall Street to promoting gay rights. Merkley is back on the campaign trail asking Oregonians for another term as he faces a Republican who looked to pose a serious threat to his tenure. But Portland neurosurgeon Monica Wehby has been held back by a series of embarrassing stories from her campaign and personal life. She’s made Merkley’s popularity with liberals a central

DEATHS

FRANKFORD, Del. — American schools are scrambling to provide services to the large number of children and teenagers who crossed the border alone in recent months. Unaccompanied minors who made up the summer spike at the border have moved to communities of all sizes, in nearly every state, Federal data indicates, to live with a relative and await immigration decisions. The Supreme Court has ruled that schools have an obligation to educate all students regardless of their immigration status, so schools have become a safe haven for many of the tens of thousands of these young people mostly from central America living in limbo. Delaware’s rural Sussex County has long 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 about 70 new students mostly from Guatemala — part of the wave crossing the border — enrolling last year, mostly at Sussex Central High School. The

theme of her case against him. Merkley doesn’t talk up his clout on the left or present himself as a progressive crusader. He focuses on his working-class upbringing. “I still live in a blue-collar community and there are very few senators who do,” said Merkley, who lives in far east Portland, miles from the craft breweries and Craftsman bungalows that have drawn young people to the inner east side. “We need more legislators who live with working people, who live in those communities.” Born in Myrtle Creek, Merkley reminds voters he’s the son of a millworker who lost his job when the mill closed. After a stop in Roseburg, his family settled in east Portland, where his dad worked as a mechanic. He’s financially comfortable

WASHINGTON — By President Barack Obama’s own admission, U.S. efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad have been pushed to the back burner by a bombing campaign against Islamic State militants that could ultimately help him stay in power. “There’s a more immediate concern that has to be dealt with,” Obama said of Assad in a broadcast interview that aired Sunday. While the White House continues to call for Assad’s departure and has consistently condemned his actions in a three-year civil war, diplomatic negotiations to oust him have largely stalled and Obama has shown no appetite for using military power to force him out. Even when Obama was considering strikes last year in retaliation for Assad’s chemical weapons use — a plan he ultimately rejected — officials made clear that regime change was not their goal. But Assad’s future is coming under fresh scrutiny as the U.S. and its allies launch airstrikes against militants who have gained a stronghold in Syria amid the chaos of the civil war that has left 200,000 people dead. Given that the Islamic State group is one of the Syrian government’s strongest opponents, the strikes have created an unexpected alignment between Obama and Assad that

COQUILLE — Police say four arrests in Coquille over the last week highlight the benefits of local law enforcement having some extra funding on-hand to provide for extra patrols. The first arrest came last Thursday, Sept. 25, when a Coquille Police Officer working some overtime under a DUII grant observed a vehicle pulling out of a known drug house. According to Coquille police, the officer ran a license plate check and found that the vehicle’s registration had expired. The car was pulled over at state Highway 42 and North Birch Street, and narcotics dog Kara performed a search that uncovered a meth pipe and hypodermic needle. That led to the arrests of Jody Houglum, 35, of Port Orford; and Steven Swan, 49, of Bandon. Both were charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine. The driver also received multiple traffic citations and another passenger was cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. The next night, Sept. 26, at about 8:15 p.m., a car was stopped at Highway 42 and Rink Creek Road for failing to maintain a lane. Coquille police say that when the officer approached the vehicle he observed the driver had red, bloodshot and watery eyes. When asked a question, the suspect slurred his speech. Suspecting that the driver was driving while impaired, the officer notified the other officer on duty. Available thanks to the grant funding, that officer responded and performed the standardized field sobriety tests, which the subject failed. Kevin Austin, 31, of Sheridan, Wyo., was charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants in what turned out to have been his second DUII within a few hours that night. The arrests culminated Sept. 27, when a 2011 Toyota was spotted by a grant-funded Coquille officer working on Cape Arago Highway. The Toyota was clocked at 16 miles per hour over the speed limit, and was also failing to maintain a lane. That culminated in the arrest of the driver, Michael Newson, 24, of Coos Bay, for driving under the influence of intoxicants — drugs. Coquille Police Chief Janice Blue said these arrests were made possible by that DUII grant funding. It comes courtesy of

SWOCC gets training grant COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College recognized a gap in local health care and snagged a federal grant to fill that need. On Monday, the U.S. Department of Labor awarded SWOCC a $2.4 million grant to support job-driven training for careers in health care and natural resources. SWOCC noted in its

grant application that it’s hard to find qualified health care workers in rural communities like Coos County. The college proposes tweaking its programs to specifically address this issue. In addition, SWOCC will use the grant to develop a career and technical education certificate for GIS, forestry and natural resources technicians.

Marshfield Times designer a finalist in national competition BAY AREA COOS BAY — John Hampton’s A1 is one of the best in the nation. Marshfield High journalism teacher Catherine Hampton's son is a finalist in the National Scholastic Press Association design of the year contest. His front page design was selected as one of the top 10 in the nation for the 2013-14 school year. The top five will be announced and recognized for first through fifth place (with the other five finalists being recognized as honor-

R E P O R T S able mention) at the NS PA / Jo u r n a l i s m Education Association National High School Journalism convention in November in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, Catherine said it’s too expensive for The Marshfield Times staff to travel to the convention, the first time in several years the students won't attend.

Instead, they’re saving their money to attend next year's convention at Disney World in Orlando. After three years of being Pacemaker finalists and winning the Pacemaker last year, the staff did not make the finals this year. John is the second student to receive this honor. MHS 2010 alumnus Jake Crump was a finalist in this competition and won third place in the country. Since he graduated, Crump has honed his design skills, leading The Daily Emerald at

University of Oregon and recently completing a digital design internship at RedEye in Chicago.

It’s that time again to cast your votes to decide who the Best of the South Coast will be. Each year we conduct this fun reader promotion to see who you think are the best businesses on the South Coast. Voting is live and runs through Friday, Oct. 10. I love this contest. It makes for some of the best reading of the year when we announce the winners Nov. 1. As a newcomer to the coast back in January of 2013, it was fun to see who the winners were. It put my family on a mission to try these reader recommendations. With an influx of visitors

from RV conPUBLISHER ventions, concerts and festivals, it makes perfect sense for local businesses. It also gives the JEFF long-time P RECOURT residents some new ideas to try. And speaking of the local businesses, they love it, as well. When we deliver the winning plaques we are greeted with the highest enthusiasm. Hard working business owners appreciate the votes from their loyal

customers and are more than proud to display the awards for all to see. Our hopes are that they increase their profits because of the publicity. We know our readers love it, too. They tell me that it’s satisfying to see their favorites win. I know I enjoy that part. Because the published winners expand their exposure to local patrons, we, the readers, have contributed to their success. That ensures that our favorites will be here for years to come as their businesses thrive. That’s good for the entire South Coast. To vote, simply visit www.theworldlink.com/bes

Regardless of the format, all we ask is that you use one of our official methods and be sure to vote no later than Friday, Oct. 10. There are many businesses doing great things on the South Coast. Let us know who you think is best.

What if you’re not in college? It shouldn’t be this way, but the well-todo tend to dominate public conversations in this country. The result has been a national preoccupation with the comfort, safety and psychological health of children like theirs — that is, children who go to college. Thus, the students’ problems get customized attention. Government asks: How can we protect women on campus from sexual assault? How can we stop students who drink too much or are “underage”? Much has been written about the “two Americas.” One of the sharper divides separates the college-bound from the rest. It’s hard to believe that sexual predators roam more freely at the dorms than in society at large. Or that there’s more drunkenness around student hangouts than at workingclass bars. What’s striking isn’t so much the worry over kids in college as the lack of similar concern over the other, usually less privileged, young people who don’t go to college. When their bad behavior spills over, police are called. But when students act likewise, their cases may go to college administrators and their teams of counselors. Clearly, the blanket of protection thrown over FROMA 19-year-olds in college is HARROP not extended to 19-yearolds working full time at a Columnist Target checkout. And they are in the majority. Most Americans (58 percent) do not obtain an associate or bachelor’s degree. And half the kids who do go to college commute from home. But listen to who gets the attention in President Obama’s recent speech calling for more action on sexual violence at colleges: “We’ve been working on campus sexual assault for several years,” he said, “but the issue of violence against women is now in the news every day.” And the news stories he referred to largely involved professional athletes, whose beating victims — women and children — have spent little, if any, time on a campus. Strange that a kind of violence directed at all groups of women has brought forth initiatives to benefit the generally more fortunate. Earlier this year, the administration focused a task force on the issue of sexual assaults on campus. It urged the institutions to toughen their policies, encourage women to report sexual violence and protect the women’s identities. It threatened fines against colleges that do not comply. Rape and other sexual violence are serious crimes. They belong in the criminal justice system. But many students want their cases overseen by the supposedly softer hand of college administrators — often to avoid ruining the life of the alleged assailant, who may have been a friend. In effect, college women are offered two justice systems to choose from. Non-students have one. As for drinking problems, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has also tailored its services for the academic crowd. Its task force recommended, among other things, programs to help students moderate their drinking and limiting the number of liquor stores near colleges. And it set up a special website, CollegeDrinkingPrevention.gov. The task force did ask,“Why target college student drinking?” The reasons: Students die or are injured in alcohol-related accidents. Millions of them drive under the influence,and large numbers are assaulted by other drunken students. How does that drinking experience differ from the noncollegiate drinking experience? The abuses and attendant problems sound exactly the same, so why not treat college students like everyone else? We all know why. The powers value the well-being of college kids more highly than that of their working-class cohorts. Of course, it’s not fair.

Letters to the Editor Another view on the Koch brothers Recently I read, with some amusement, a letter stating that the Koch brothers are not the devil. In fact, they are a “hardworking family who have been successful enough to be wealthy and donate lavishly to charity.” I’d like to set the record straight on one of the most dysfunctional families in this country. They could be a soap opera! Fred Koch, father of Charles and David, made his money by developing a process for turning crude oil into gasoline. He was sued by competitors for patent infringement and put out of business in this country in the 1930s. So, he went to Nazi Germany (before World War II) and started working with them. After the war,

he worked with Stalin in Russia. That relationship didn’t last and he was allowed to do business in the U.S. again. Fred had developed such a hatred for communism that when he returned here he helped start the John Birch Society, a conservative, anti-communist group, founded in the 1950s. Fred fathered four boys and was, by all accounts, a cold and authoritarian parent. He pitted all the boys against each other, but only Charles and David (who now run Koch Industries) inherited his drive. Here’s where the soap opera begins. On the last Christmas day that the brothers and their mother spent together (father Fred had died several years before), a big argument erupted about how their inheritance would be dis-

tributed. Then, brother Bill, wanting to be as important as his brothers, Charles and David, in Koch Industries tried to make some changes in how the company was being run. He didn’t think his older brother, Charles, should be spending so much of the company’s money on Libertarian causes. Bill, and other stockholders might be rich on paper, but not in actuality. Bill wanted to take the company public, but Charles didn’t. A big lawsuit ensued. In fact, years of lawsuits, bitter family disputes and accusations permeate this family. I cannot tell the whole story in here in 400 words, so you will have to Google “The Koch brothers” to read the many articles written about them. Google “Kochtopus” too to see how many political entities they fund.

Apparently, Monica Wehby’s campaign is funded by Freedom Partners, a Koch product. Lorraine Pool Bandon

America handling a basket of snakes “Once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. “War’s very object is victory, not prolonged indecision.” So said Gen. MacArthur in some of the wisest counsel the old soldier ever gave his countrymen. Yet, “prolonged indecision” would seem the essence of the war the president has begun to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State. For, following only one night of bombing in Syria, Gen. Bill Mayville, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs, asked to estimate how long this new war would last, replied: “I would think of it in terms of years.” “Years,” the general said. Yet, though we are already heavily into bombing, the president has no congressional authorization for this war in Syria. Even Republicans are leery of voting for a war in Syria before the November elections.A third of the House GOP voted no to arming and training the Syrian rebels.The Democrats are even more wary. And how are we going to “destroy” ISIS when Obama has ruled out U.S. combat troops and not one NATO or Arab ally has offered to send combat troops? Consider Turkey. With its 400,000-man army, 1,000 planes, 3,600 tanks, 3,000 artillery pieces and self-propelled guns, the Turks, the largest military power in the Middle East, could make hash of

the Islamic State. Why have they not done so? Because Turkish President Erdogan d e t e s t s PAT President of BUCHANAN Assad Syria and Columnist has looked the other way as volunteers, including Turks, have crossed his border into Syria to join ISIS. Up until now, this NATO ally has been a silent partner of ISIS. And, even now, Ankara has not volunteered to fight the Islamic State. For Turkey is predominantly Sunni, and many Sunni see the Islamic State as a ruthless but effective ally against a Shia threat represented by Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus and Hezbollah. If the Turkish army is not going to intervene in Syria against ISIS, and if Obama has ruled out U.S. boots on the ground in Iraq or Syria, where will the soldiers come from to dislodge the Islamic State from the Indiana-sized territory it has seized? The Kurds can hold Erbil with U.S. air support. Iraq’s regime, backed by its Shia militias, can hold Baghdad. But can the Iraqi army retake Fallujah, Mosul or Anbar,from which they so recently ran away? Who are the major fighting

forces in Syria who have for years been holding the line against ISIS? Answer: the Syrian army, Hezbollah troops from Lebanon, and Iranians, backed by Putin’s Russia. Denouncing the Islamic State for its beheadings of the two Americans and one British aid worker, Obama declared at the U.N.: “There can be no reasoning — no negotiation — with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. So the United States of America will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death.” Strong words, some of the strongest our Nobel Peace Prizewinning president has used in six years. Yet, for three years, it has been NATO ally Turkey and Arab allies like Saudi Arabia and Qatar who have been clandestinely aiding this “network of death.” And it has been Assad, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia that have been resisting this “network of death.” A year ago, the American people rose up to demand that Obama and John Kerry keep us out of Syria’s civil war, specifically, that they not carry out their threats to bomb the army of Bashar Assad. Had it not been for Assad, Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia, the network of death Obama, rightly excoriated from that U.N. podium, might by now be establishing its caliphate, not in Raqqa but Damascus.

Before we go any deeper into Syria, Congress needs to be called back to debate and vote on whether to authorize this new war. For this war against the Islamic State seems, for some in that blood-soaked region,not so much to be a war of good against evil, but the first of several wars they want America to fight. For them, the Islamic State is to be destroyed by the Americans. Then the Assad regime is to be brought down by the Americans. Then Iran is to be smashed by the Americans. Everyone in the Middle East seems to have in mind some new war for the Americans to fight. How many such wars are in our vital interests? While, undeniably, the Islamic State has shown itself beyond the pale with its beheading of innocents and its massacres of soldiers who have surrendered, let us not forget that our allies abetted these monsters, while adversaries we have designated as terrorists and state sponsors of terror were fighting them. Lord Palmerston had a point when he said Great Britain has no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Those interests should determine our policy. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

State Aging caregiver must find respite time for herself DEAR ABBY: How can I convince my aging, sick sister-in-law that her feeble husband’s care is too much for her at this point? She can barely care for herself, yet she must help him eat, get out of chairs — everything short of chew his food for him. I have tried telling her she deserves respite care of some kind, to no avail. Have you any ideas how I can convince her she is literally killing herself and deserves some assistance? Their three daughters are no help at all to them. They DEAR turn a blind eye from their pare n t s ’ situation. — RELATIVE W H O CARES IN OHIO D E A R R EL AT I V E: JEANNE I can think PHILLIPS of a few things you might do to help. The first would be to talk to the daughters and explain your concerns for their mother’s health — because if she doesn’t get some respite care, SHE could die before their father does. Be sure to point out that if that happens, their father’s care would become THEIR responsibility. When they realize the effect it would have on their own lives, it might motivate them to do something. The second would be to do some research and see what options are available for part-time caregivers or senior day care centers where her husband would be safe and looked after while your sister-in-law has a few precious hours to herself. The man’s doctor could guide you. Then have a frank talk with her and explain that for her to be as effective a caregiver as she obviously wants to be, she’s going to have to take better care of herself because the track she’s on right now could cost her her own health or even her life, and that’s no exaggeration. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 29year-old single man who is hard of hearing. I have a steady job and plans for a good future, but I’m having trouble in the dating world. I would love to have a special someone in my life, but I’m shy. I have a hard time talking with the girls who live in my area. I can hear people pretty well unless they mumble or talk quietly, or face away from me when they speak. I have asked people to repeat what they say (I try not to do it often) if I missed something. They get frustrated and so do I, and then they say, “Never mind!” I try so hard to hear people. But it seems the harder I try, the less it seems worth it to find a relationship. Any tips on dealing with impatient and non-understanding people? — FRUSTRATED IN WISCONSIN DEAR FRUSTRATED: As people age, many of them encounter the problem you are trying to cope with now at your young age. Hearing loss is difficult because it is often subtle and can be extremely isolating for the person who has it. My first tip would be to avoid noisy places for meeting women, if you can. My second would be to be upfront about your hearing loss right off the bat. If a woman finds you attractive, she will find ways to accommodate the problem. And if she doesn’t, then she wasn’t the right candidate for a relationship in the first place.

Cops: Suspect drove fast, had strong smell STATE

The Associated Press

Eugene Police Sgt. Larry Compton displays his body camera, in hand, inside his patrol car that also has multiple cameras installed that record both inside and outside the vehicle. Eugene police say they’re embracing the idea of body cameras to record encounters with the public.

Eugene police embracing body-cam technology EUGENE (AP) — Eugene police are embracing the use of body cameras to record encounters with the public. With little fanfare, they began outfitting officers with them two years ago and now have 18 in use, the RegisterGuard reports. After a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black 18-year-old last month in Missouri, interest in body cameras to determine what happened in such encounters surged nationally. Many cities are considering them, but they are not yet in widespread use. In Eugene, body cameras are regularly used by officers downtown on bicycles, traffic motorcycle officers, a drunken-driving specialist and others. Using body cameras saves time when unfounded allegations are made against officers, and their use tends to lead to better behavior on the part of both officers and the people they deal with, officials said. In one case, they said, an officer got a talking-to after an investigation concluded he had used an appropriate level of force in arresting a woman.

“However, the footage also showed that the officer stated ‘shut up,’ “ a report by internal investigators said. “The supervisor discussed the choice of words with the officer.” Along with the dashboard cameras mounted to Eugene patrol officers’ vehicles, the body cameras mean that most Eugene officers now have some kind of recording device when they interact with residents. The city is home of the University of Oregon and is known for protests and tension involving homeless people and their advocates. The department’s inhouse monitor, Police Auditor Mark Gissiner, described the city as a “vigorous community for filing complaints.” Those are up, from 341 in 2012 to 398 last year, with an increase expected this year, Gissiner said. Besides the propensity toward complaints, Gissiner said, there’s a growing awareness of his office and, he hopes, more trust in it, all of which help explain the rise in complaints. Although the number of complaints is up, police said,

the number that require expensive investigations is down. “It’s hard to argue with video,” said Sgt. Larry Crompton, the department’s downtown supervisor. The cameras have helped officers working downtown, Gissiner said. “Downtown is a location that is attractive to a lot of folks seeking a number of different things,” he said. “We used to get a lot of complaints with the downtown officers, and it’s been really helpful to have the cameras in dealing with those complaints.” According to its website, the Vievu devices the Eugene police are using can cost from $350 to $900 each,depending on the model. The Eugene police have spent nearly $22,000 on the equipment so far, including file storage and maintenance costs. Under Oregon state law, police must inform someone that they are being audiorecorded, though there is no law that requires police to inform someone that they are being video-recorded. The body camera has an ongoing video loop that can provide 30 seconds of footage before the audio component is activated.

LEBANON (AP) — Officers in western Oregon say a suspect they tried to collar at a traffic stop drove too fast for pursuing officers, but eventually he was just too fragrant. The Albany DemocratHerald reports that the driver gave officers in Linn County the slip in a high-speed chase before dawn Sunday, doing better than 100 mph in a red Honda Prelude. But Lebanon police later saw the car parked and launched a search by foot. That’s when officers caught a “strong scent of cologne” in the darkness and soon found their suspect hiding in shrubbery. Thirty-five-year-old Charles V. Agosto was jailed on charges including probation violation and trying to elude officers. Officers said he told them he regretted using the cologne.

ME: Man hit by vehicle had been lying in road COTTAGE GROVE (AP) — Oregon State Police say the Lane County medical examiner has determined that a Eugene man found dead on a road east of Cottage Grove had been lying on the roadway when he was hit by a vehicle. Lt. Gregg Hastings says toxicology tests are pending. The pedestrian found dead Saturday night on Shoreview Drive has been identified as 39-year-old Reuben James Orr. Police initially believed the death was related to a hit-and-run driver. On Sunday, a woman contacted police to say she was driving in the area Saturday night and thought she ran over a deer.

Judge orders defendant back to hospital ST. HELENS (AP) — Nearly four years after the Rainier, Oregon, police chief

D I G E S T was fatally shot, a judge has ordered the man charged in the case sent back to Oregon State Hospital to be forcibly medicated. The Oregonian reports that Columbia County District Attorney Steve Atchison says Circuit Court Judge Ted Grove on Monday ordered Daniel Butts to be medicated so he can stand trial. Butts was arrested on Jan. 5, 2011, after police say he grabbed Chief Ralph Painter’s gun and then shot the chief in the head at a Rainier stereo shop. A grand jury indicted Butts on charges that include aggravated murder, which could carry the death penalty. He has pleaded not guilty. Butts has previously been mentally evaluated at the state hospital in Salem, including once after he stabbed himself in the forehead with a pencil and refused treatment for the infected wound. Another hearing is set for Jan. 16.

Temperatures dropping PORTLAND (AP) — Some of the coolest temperatures of the season so far are expected this week. The National Weather Service says Tuesday night temperatures in are expected to drop to freezing or below in central Oregon, including Madras, Redmond and Bend. Some upper ski resorts, such as Timberline Lodge, may be seeing their first dusting of snow of the season. Forecasters say frost is possible Thursday morning in outlying areas around Portland, such as Hillsboro and Forest Grove as temperatures drop to the low to mid-30s.

Schools catch a break in pension payments SALEM (AP) — Oregon school districts have caught a break from the rise in public pension payments that’s been battering their budgets since the 2008 recession, thanks to a rising stock market and the state Legislature. A new schedule of payments shows school districts will pay about 25 percent less, on average, in 2015 to bail out the Public Employees Retirement System, the Salem Statesman Journal reported Monday. Two years ago, the pension system was looking at a

$16 billion shortfall. Every public employer learned they would be paying about 30 percent more for pension benefits in 2013 in an effort to make up the shortfall. Now, the shortfall has shrunk by half, and the markets have risen in a way that’s helping all public employers. However, for many other public employers in Oregon, pension contributions are going up, just not so sharply. On average, other local and state bodies will see an increase of about 11 percent in contributions.

For all public employers, the actual payments vary widely depending on workforce characteristics and a variety of other factors. School districts own more of that shortfall, in part because their employees’ retirements tend to be worth more, on average. Teachers tend to spend their entire careers in public service. School districts also have issued bonds to pay off part of the shortfall, and the money is invested, meaning the schools benefit greatly if markets go up — and are

punished more severely when they go down. In its 2013 session, the Legislature passed bills to decrease cost-of-living adjustments for PERS retirees and to reduce contribution rates. Public employees have challenged those cuts, and the Oregon Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in their case next month. If the court upholds the

DILBERT

Graduate debt-free There was a time that I didn’t have much of an opinion on paying for college with student loans. That was before the advent of email and thousands of messages all with a similar subject line: Help! I’m drowning in student loan debt! That was before I learned that 85 percent of all college graduates do not end up working in their major. That was before I heard from Jim P., who EVERYDAY all CHEAPSKATE took the stud e n t loans he could get to pay for college and law school. H e assumed he’d land Mary a bigHunt bucks cushy job and pay back $200,000 really fast.The fifth time he failed the bar exam he gave up on being a lawyer. But the debt goes on. That was before I heard from the couple in Nebraska who between them have $60,000 in student loans. They were going to be teachers. Then the baby came along and the teaching position didn’t. It’s all they can do to keep food on the table now that the family has grown to five. Here’s the problem with student loans: Life doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. Stuff happens; minds change; life takes unexpected turns.But student debt goes on and on and on. It’s not as if student loans and big credit card balances are graduation mandatory requirements. You don’t have to borrow your way through college. It is possible to graduate debt-free, but it does take a lot of work. And you’ll have to buck a financial system that encourages students to take the easy way out by diving into a lifetime of debt. The secret to graduating debt-free is to use every strategy imaginable to get the price as low as possible so you can pay as you go. Take AP classes. Take all the advanced placement classes you can in high school to help knock down college tuition costs. Plan it right and you can enter college as a debt-free sophomore with one year paid in full. Community colleges. There are excellent two-year colleges in every area of the country. Lower-division prerequisite courses can be taken at the community college level at cheap tuition rates, and then transferred to the college or university of choice for the third and fourth years. That means two more years to save up for the more expensive finish. State colleges and universiti es. Most four-year state schools offer an excellent affordable education. Our older son graduated from a prestigious California State University. He lived at home and graduated debt free. Work for the school. Many colleges give discounted or free tuition to employees’ family members. There are lots of non-teaching jobs on a big campus. Grants. A grant is a flat-out gift, and there is no requirement to repay. The most common is the Pell Grant, money from the federal government to assist low-income undergraduates. Learn more at www.finaid.com. Wor k-study prog ra ms. Under a federal program, work-study provides on-campus jobs for students. There is no requirement to repay the money even if the student does not graduate. Military. An excellent education is often a benefit for students willing to enlist. For example, the military will put you through medical school if you enter as an officer and agree to stay for a period of time upon completing your residency. Apply for scholarships. All kinds of scholarships go unawarded every year. Many are not based on need but rather ability, even ethnic heritage. But don't get suckered into paying a service $800 or more to do what you can do yourself: search! As a general rule of thumb, if a scholarship or a scholarship-search service asks you for money upfront, it’s probably a scam.

NEWS D I G E S T Director faces questions on breach WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Washington scandals that end up on Capitol Hill tend to end the same way: with an apology. Secret Service Director Julia Pierson will face lawmakers Tuesday for the first public accounting of the details surrounding an embarrassing and worrisome security breach at the White House earlier this month that, according to a congressman, was worse than the Secret Service has publicly acknowledged. The question is, will she follow the script? At the very least, Pierson will have to explain how a man armed with a small knife managed to climb over a White House fence, sprint across the north lawn and dash deep into the executive mansion before finally being subdued. And she is certain to face tough questions about why members of Congress briefed by the agency apparently weren’t told of the full extent of the breach when she appears before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Priest convicted of aiding gang inmates MADRID (AP) — Those who love Antonio Rodriguez know him affectionately as “Father Tony,” the Roman Catholic priest who spent 15 years working in El Salvador’s roughest neighborhoods to get vulnerable young men out of a gang lifestyle that often ends in death. Others say he got too close to the gangs that plague the Central American nation, helping hardened inmates get special treatment and potentially enabling their prison extortion rackets. The detractors use a different nickname: The “gangster priest.” Salvadoran authorities convicted Rodriguez of criminal association and other charges this month before immediately freeing him under a plea deal. The priest says he acted with the government’s blessing, and was made a scapegoat and cut loose when he was no longer needed.

HK leader says China adamant; students seek talks HONG KONG (AP) — Pro-democracy protesters demanded that Hong Kong’s top leader meet with them, threatening wider actions if he did not, after he said Tuesday that China would not budge in its decision to limit voting reforms in the Asian financial hub. Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has taken a hard line against any perceived threat to the Communist Party’s hold on power, meanwhile vowed in a National Day speech to “steadfastly safeguard” Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability. He said Beijing believes Hong Kong will “create an even better future in the big family of the motherland.” China’s government has condemned the student-led protests as illegal, though so far it has not overtly intervened, leaving Hong Kong’s semi-autonomous government to handle the crisis. But Chief Executive Leung Chunying’s rejection of the student demands dashed hopes for a quick resolution of the fiveday standoff that has blocked city streets, forcing some schools and offices to close. Leung’s statement drew a defiant response from the students. “If Leung Chun-ying doesn’t come out to Civic Square before midnight ... then I believe inevitably more people will come out onto the

Pro-democracy protesters hold umbrellas under heavy rain in a main street near the government headquarters in Hong Kong late Tuesday. The protesters demanded that Hong Kong's top leader meet with them on Tuesday and threatened wider actions if he did not, after he said China would not budge in its decision to limit voting reforms in the Asian financial hub. streets,” said Alex Chow, secretary general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, the organizer of the university class boycotts that led to the street protests. Chow said the students were considering various options, including widening the protests, pushing for a labor strike and possibly occupying a government building. Despite the hardening

rhetoric from both sides, the mood Tuesday night as the crowds of protesters swelled was festive. Few police were evident, and those who were appeared relaxed. Both sides appeared to be waiting out the standoff, as police continued the lighthanded approach to the protests they adopted after their use of tear gas and pepper spray over the weekend failed to drive out tens of thousands

of people occupying streets near the government headquarters. The sit-ins instead spread to the financial district and other areas. A brief cloudburst Tuesday cooled the air, seeming to energize the protesters, a group of whom shouted “Jiayou,” or “Keep it up,” and waved their cellphones with bright LED flashlights sparkling in the dark.

EBay to split off lucrative PayPal business

NEW YORK (AP) — EBay is splitting off its fastest growing segment, mobile payment service PayPal, the e-commerce company said Tuesday. Investors applauded the news, sending eBay’s shares up nearly 7 percent in morning trading. The move comes after months of pressure from activist investor and billionaire Carl Icahn, who has a 2.5 percent state in eBay, according to FactSet. EBay CEO John Donahoe had been adamant that splitting off PayPal was the wrong move for the company.

Gitmo closure stalled at Pentagon WASHINGTON (AP) — The transfer of prisoners out of Guantanamo Bay has ground to a halt amid a slow Pentagon approval process, causing deep frustration within the administration and raising doubts that President Barack Obama will be able to fulfill his campaign promise to close the offshore prison for terrorism suspects. A detainee sent back to his native Algeria in March is the only prisoner to have moved out this year, beyond the controversial exchange of five Taliban members in return for long-held captive U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. The slow pace is the result of the law that gives Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel — not the commander in chief — the final authority to transfer any of the 149 terror suspects being held at Guantanamo. Pentagon officials say they must carefully consider the risks before signing off, given that others have returned to terrorism. The White House has reminded the Pentagon that recidivism risks must be weighed against the danger to the United States in keeping the Cuban prison open.Obama has said Guantanamo’s continued operation hurts U.S. standing overseas and is a recruitment tool for terrorists. “The president would absolutely like to see more progress in our efforts to close Guantanamo,” Obama counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco said. “He wants it closed. He’s pushing his own team very hard, raising it weekly with me, with Hagel, with Secretary Secretary (of State John) Kerry. He also wants Congress to act to remove the restrictions in place that are making it even harder to move forward.” For years, Congress used its budget power to block Obama from making transfers. The president announced in May 2013 that he was appointing special envoys for Guantanamo closure at the State and Defense departments to move prisoners out “to the greatest extent possible.” Congress responded by lifting some of the complicated restrictions for transfers, allowing them when Hagel determines steps have been taken to reduce the risk that detainees will re-engage in the fight.

MERKLEY Continued from Page A1 now, with a six-figure congressional salary and four rental properties in Portland and Washington, D.C., according to his personal financial disclosure filed with the Senate. But he said his family’s ability to make ends meet and send him to college, despite a modest income, is what drives him to push for the populist ideas that have raised his profile on the left. Merkley, along with Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, successfully pushed Congress to attach the so-called Volcker rule to a 2010 financial regulation law aimed at preventing practices that contributed to the 2008 financial meltdown. The rule is intended to stop banks from trading for

their own profit. He steered the Employment NonDiscrimination Act, a long-stymied bill outlawing workplace discrimination against gays, to a successful Senate vote last year. He was a vocal critic when President Barack Obama considered nominating Larry Summers to head the Federal Reserve, and he was an early critic of the Afghanistan war. He fought to change the Senate’s rules of debate to tamp down on filibusters. He secured one victory: preventing the filibuster of executive branch and judicial nominations, except the Supreme Court, which enabled Obama to appoint a raft of left-leaning judges and proceed with regulations for unions and the financial system. “When you think about the Elizabeth Warren wing of

the Democratic Party, Jeff Merkley is right up there as one of her strongest allies and one of our strongest partners,” said Adam Green, of the co-founder Progressive Change Campaign Committee. The group says it’s raised more than $70,000 for Merkley. Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, is among the most popular figures among grassroots liberal Democrats. She campaigned for Merkley in Portland in May and will attend a rally in Eugene next month. For Wehby, Merkley’s work on those progressives’ priorities is precisely the problem. “I want to represent all of Oregon, not just one particular sliver of Oregon,” Wehby said. “I think that’s what’s happening with Merkley now, that he’s so extreme

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?” Lori Ott, their English language teacher, told one. The students are eager but face barriers. Some can barely read or write in their native language. The district’s goal is to get them assimilated — and eventually 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,” Ott said. “How do you say this? And, how do you say that? They just participate and you can’t say enough about them.” Donald Hattier, a school board member, said advance warning would have helped with planning. The federal government, he said, “just dropped this on us.” He wonders what’s next.

that he doesn’t represent all of the state.” Merkley was the speaker of the Oregon House when he won a brutal Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, defeating progressive activist Steve Novick, who is now a Portland city commissioner. With a second term, Merkley said he’s likely to continue his push on the filibuster and fight for trade regulations to punish countries with subpar labor standards. “We just have to realize that the ability to buy something slightly cheaper because it’s made in China, if that means the loss of American jobs and families that no longer have a stable foundation, we’ve not won anything,” Merkley said. “We’ve lost something very important, which is successful families.”

SYRIA Continued from Page A1

the Syrian president is seeking to exploit in order to gain legitimacy. Syria’s cauldron of twisted alliances has long made Obama reluctant to take military action to end the civil war, warning advisers that crossing that threshold could leave the U.S. responsible for figuring out Syria’s political future.His rationale for the current airstrike campaign, both in Syria and Iraq, has been described narrowly as a bid to destroy the threat the Islamic State could pose to the West if left unchecked. Still, Obama acknowledged in his interview with CBS’“60 Minutes” that there was a contradiction in both wanting Assad out of power and seeking to degrade his strongest opponent. Obama offered no strategy for keeping Assad from gaining ground, though “The kids are still coming White House officials later across the border.

arm more moderate opposition forces who are battling both Assad and the Islamic State group, a process expected to take several months. Even if the U.S. blueprint for defeating the Islamic State group should succeed, some Middle East analysts say that as long as Assad remains in power, Syria will remain a hotbed for Sunni extremists seeking to oust his government. “You can’t keep that from happening in any light footprint way without dealing with the fact that Bashar is drawing them in,” said Andrew Tabler, a senior fellow at The Washington Institute. Frederic Hof, the Obama administration’s former special representative on Syria, said that while it’s understandable that Obama may seek to focus first on degrading the Islamic State, the group “cannot be fully neutralized in Syria without neutralizing its biggest recruiter and collaborator: the Assad regime.” more people able to slip through the cracks.

Playoffs begin tonight Royals end drought with first postseason game since 1985 ■

The Associated Press

Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles dives into the end zone after catching a 5-yard pass for a touchdown during the second quarter Monday.

Kansas City blows out New England KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Perhaps the Kansas City Chiefs gave their neighbors across the parking lot a little bit of inspiration with their impassioned performance against New England. Jamaal Charles returned from an ankle injury to score three touchdowns, Alex Smith threw for 248 yards and three scores, and the Chiefs routed the Patriots 41-14 on Monday night, getting the sports week off to a smashing start in Kansas City with the Royals preparing to open the baseball playoffs on Tuesday. “To have back-to-back events like this, Monday night football and a home playoff game, yeah, it’s special,” Smith said. “Right next door to each other.” Arrowhead Stadium, which was packed to the brim in red-clad Chiefs fans, is just a short walk from Kauffman Stadium, which will surely be packed with blue when the Royals end a 29-year playoff drought against the Oakland Athletics in the AL wild-card game. Several members of the Royals even showed up for the Chiefs-Patriots game, including starting pitcher James Shields, drawing huge roars when they were shown on the big screens. And some of the Chiefs said they were thinking about returning the favor, including wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. Regardless, the Chiefs will be able to spend Tuesday in a celebratory mood. They held the Patriots’ Tom Brady to 159 yards passing and a touchdown, picking him off twice and returning one for a touchdown. Brady was also strip-sacked by Tamba Hali to

set up a Chiefs field goal, capping off a miserable night for the two-time NFL MVP. “It was just a bad performance by everybody,” Brady said. “We need to make sure we never have this feeling again. We’ve got to figure out what we have to do better.” The Chiefs forced the Patriots to air it out by stuffing Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley. And when Brady dropped back, their front seven ran roughshod over New England’s suspect offensive line. It hardly helped the Patriots offense that it was trying to operate on the same night Chiefs fans were trying to reclaim the record for loudest outdoor sports venue. The record was set in the first half, when Guinness World Records noted a noise level of 142.2 decibels — breaking the mark of 137.6 that Seattle Seahawks fans set last season. “My ears are still ringing,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said with a smile. Kansas City had 303 yards of offense by halftime, the most against any Belichickcoached team in the first half of a game. That includes his years coaching in Cleveland. “We just never got anything going. Nothing,” Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said. “They just executed. They executed perfectly. We were always out of the game, it seemed.” Here are a few of the reasons why the Patriots were thumped so soundly: RUN, RUN, RUN: Charles looked just fine on his sprained right ankle, running for 92 yards. He was spelled by Knile Davis, who added 107 yards on 16 carries. “We kept each other fresh,”

Davis said. “When he went in, he did his thing. When I went in, I did my thing.” TENSE MOMENT: Charles briefly went to the locker room after stumbling into the end zone on his third touchdown of the game. He appeared to grab his hamstring, and Reid said that he received an IV, indicating that he might have been cramping. “I feel sore,” Charles admitted afterward. BRADY’S STRUGGLES: Brady is completing just 59 percent of his passes through his first four games, his worst rate since becoming the Patriots’ starter in 2001. He is also averaging less than 200 yards passing per game. “I wouldn’t say we’ve had a very productive four games to start, but hopefully we can learn from it and understand the things that we’re doing wrong,” he said. “There’s nobody going to dig us out of the hole. We’ve kind of created it for ourselves and we’re going to have to look each other in the eye and see what kind of commitment we’re willing to make.” KELCE STARS: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is quickly becoming one of Smith’s favorite targets, had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. “We know what we can do on our offense and our defense,” Kelce said. “Our defense got a lot of turnovers today, and that was awesome to see.” GAROPPOLO PLAYS: Rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo got into the game in the fourth quarter for New England, when the outcome was already decided. He was 6 of 7 for 70 yards with a touchdown. “I am a relief pitcher, pretty much,” he said, “so that is my job.”

Blazers look ahead to another big year PORTLAND (AP) — Among the themes for the Portland Trail Blazers this season is to embrace the idea they belong with the elite teams in the West. The Blazers exceeded expectations last year by winning 54 games and advancing to the second round of the playoffs, where they fell to the eventual NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. The Blazers return nearly the entire roster from that team, including All-Stars LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard, and fellow starters Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez. The team addressed needs in the offseason with the acquisition of center Chris Kaman and the return of guard Steve Blake. Portland’s stability is a big reason why most onlookers don’t see last season as a fluke. Now the Blazers need to believe that, too. “There are clearly high expectations and we need to start acting like an elite basketball team and I think the guys get that,” general manager Neil Olshey said. Lillard echoed the sentiment on Monday when the Blazers held their annual media day before the start of training camp. “People expect us to be a good team because of what happened last year,” Lillard said. “We need to expect that of ourselves.” The Blazers exercised their fourth-year option on Lillard, who made the All-Star team his second year in the league last season. Lillard averaged 20.7 points and 5.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds. His celebrity really took off because of The Shot — his lastsecond 3-pointer that gave the Blazers a Game 6 victory over the Houston Rockets and sent the team to the conference semifinals for the first time since 2000. Lillard will be backed up by Blake, who is embarking on his third stint with the Blazers after

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals made one of the boldest trades in franchise history two years ago. The Oakland Athletics made a similarly aggressive move just a couple of months ago. The results of both will be in the starting spotlight tonight. For the Royals, it’s “Big Game James” — James Shields, the centerpiece of a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays that finally pushed the long-downtrodden franchise into the postseason for the first time in 29 years. For the A’s, it’s Jon Lester — the postseason star of the Red Sox last season who was acquired by Oakland at the trading deadline just for this moment. The one-game AL wild-card playoff. The winner advances to face the Los Angeles Angels in the best-of-five division series Thursday. The loser trudges away into the offseason. “I’ve only been here for two years,” Shields said Monday, “but when I got traded over here, I knew the magnitude of what this organization was headed for. And when I got here, walking around the city and talking to the fans and really relishing the 29 years, it’s a special moment.” The teams share plenty of similarities: pop-gun offenses backed by strong starting pitching and two of the dominant bullpens in baseball. They also share a significant difference: Oakland has plenty of postseason experience, making it three straight years, while Kansas City has languished near the cellar for decades. That’s the biggest reason why Royals general manager Dayton Moore got Shields and shut-down reliever Wade Davis prior to last season, trading soon-to-be AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers and pitching prospect Jake Odorizzi to Tampa Bay. Moore wanted a legitimate ace for the starting rotation, a pitcher who had tasted postseason success, and who could mold a young but rapidly learning Kansas City clubhouse what it takes to win on the game’s biggest stage. Shields has delivered. He’s pitching to a 2.31 ERA this September, and the Royals have won four of his starts in some high-pressure games. SEE PLAYOFFS | B3

Lakers fall in league openers THE WORLD

The Associated Press

Portland guard C.J. McCollum signs basketballs during media day in Portland on Monday. Mo Williams’ departure. Williams, a free agent, landed with Minnesota. Blake, who became a fan favorite during his first two stints in Portland and kept a home in the area, signed a two-year deal with the Blazers this summer. Last season he averaged 6.9 points and 5.6 assists, splitting the season between the Lakers and Warriors. The Blazers also brought in Kaman, a burly 7-footer who has averaged 11.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over an 11-year NBA career. He will back up Robin Lopez. Both Lopez and Kaman will provide the levity in the Blazers locker room. Both are known for their quirky humor, although Lopez joked that the two big men are on “opposite ends of the crazy spectrum.” Coach Terry Stotts suggested that he may look for ways to get

Lopez and Kaman on the floor at the same time. Olshey said the addition of Kaman means that Aldridge will always have a 7footer on the floor with him. “They chose to be here,” Olshey said of the summer additions. “They had multiple options. They believed in what we’re doing.” Aldridge reiterated that he plans to re-sign with the Blazers next summer when he can command more money and a longerterm deal. Olshey and team owner Paul Allen visited with Aldridge and his agent this summer to pledge the team’s commitment to the three-time All-Star. Aldridge had career highs with an average of 23.2 points and 11.1 rebounds last season with Portland, his eighth with the team. Last year, the Blazers were considered an iffy pick to even get

to the playoffs, let alone make it past the first round. But Portland opened 24-5 to rise to the top of the Western Conference standings. The Blazers had a rough March, but won nine of their last 10 games to clinch the West’s fifth seed in the playoffs. Once there, the Blazers dispatched the Rockets with Lillard’s 3-pointer but fell to the Spurs in five games. Portland bettered its record by 21 wins over the previous season for the biggest turnaround in franchise history. The Blazers start workouts for this season on Wednesday. They open the preseason on Oct. 7 at Utah, and the regular-season opener is on Oct. 29 when Portland hosts Oklahoma City. “I definitely feel like we can be one of the top teams in the league,” Aldridge said. “It starts tomorrow.”

After a stellar preseason, the Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team stumbled when the games started counting more over the weekend. The Lakers fell at home to Mount Hood and Clackamas to start NWAC South Region play. The Saints topped the Lakers 16-25, 25-20, 25-18, 25-20 on Friday. “We did really good the first game and we beat ourselves the next three games,” SWOCC coach Stephanie Willett said. Brea Mosieur had 10 kills in the match and Hayley Sturgeon added nine. Tori Foutz had six kills and Christine Wing had 36 assists. Mosieur and Wing added 18 digs each. On Saturday, the Lakers fell to Clackamas 25-16, 25-19, 19-25, 2325, 15-13. While the Lakers played great to get back into the match by winning the third and fourth games, Willett described the result as “another heartbreaker.” Foutz and Nikki Rafay had nine kills each for the Lakers. Sturgeon and Gabby White had eight kills each and Mosieur added seven kills and 20 digs. Alyssa Sprague had 25 digs and Mosieur added 20. Wing had 40 assists. SEE SWOCC | B3

Sports Dwyer faces assault charge THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer has been formally charged with assaulting his wife during two arguments in July at their Phoenix apartment. An indictment publicly released late Friday charges Dwyer with f e l o n y aggravated assault and eight misdemeanors, including assault, criminal damage and disorderly conduct. Investigators say Dwyer broke his wife’s nose with a head-butt during a July 21 argument and engaged in a dispute the following day in which he punched his wife and threw a shoe at his 17-monthold son, who wasn’t injured. Dwyer had been booked on Sept. 17 on suspicion of aggravated assault against his son, but the indictment doesn’t charge him with any crimes related to the child.

L.A. developer asks for more time to lure team LOS ANGELES — A developer that proposed building an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles asked the mayor and other city officials Monday for more time to lure a professional football team. Anschutz Entertainment Group’s two-year agreement for the right to replace the city’s convention center with a 76,000-seat stadium and a new $287 million convention center wing hinges on landing an NFL franchise. If that deal expires Oct. 18, the city would take control of redeveloping its outdated convention center. AEG Chief Executive Dan Beckerman said in a letter to Mayor Eric Garcetti and two City Council members that the firm needs six more months for talks that have resumed with the NFL.

BASEBALL Former teammate of KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Jackie Robinson dies

Autopsy shows signs of CTE in Belcher

autopsy performed one year after Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his 22-year-old girlfriend and killed himself found signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy,the degenerative brain disease found in athletes and others with a history of repetitive brain injuries. Belcher, 25, killed Kasandra Perkins on Dec. 1, 2012, in the couple’s home while his mother was caring for his baby daughter in a nearby room. He then sped from the residence to the Chiefs training facility, where he shot himself in the head in front of then-general manager Scott Pioli and thencoach Romeo Crennel. Belcher’s mother, Cheryl Shepherd, filed a lawsuit in December in Jackson County Circuit Court in Kansas City alleging her son was subjected to “repetitive head trauma,” and that the Chiefs failed to provide adequate medical care before he killed his girlfriend and then committed suicide. That lawsuit and similar actions by more than 30 plaintiffs — many of them former Chiefs players — has been moved to federal court and subsequently set aside while a $765 million settlement between the league and various lawsuits is going through the approval process.

Seahawks tight end Miller has ankle surgery RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks will be without tight end Zach Miller for at least a few weeks after he underwent ankle surgery during the team’s bye week. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Miller had been bothered by “loose bodies” in the ankle for weeks and instead of trying to play through pain that was likely to get worse, Miller took advantage of the early bye week and had the surgery now.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — George “Shotgun” Shuba, a member of the 1955 World Series champion Brooklyn Dodgers who was best known for offering a congratulatory handshake to minor league teammate Jackie Robinson, died Monday. He was 89. The Los Angeles Dodgers said Shuba died at his home in Youngstown, Ohio. No cause of death was given. Shuba, who was white, congratulated his teammate on the Montreal Royals near home plate after Robinson hit a three-run homer on April 18, 1946, off Jersey City Giants pitcher Warren Sandell. The moment shared by a smiling Robinson and Shuba was captured in a famous photograph and dubbed “A Handshake for the Century.” Robinson went on to break major league baseball’s color barrier when he started at first base for Brooklyn on April 15, 1947.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Kentucky suspends four after air pistol incident LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky has suspended four freshmen for Saturday night’s SEC game against South Carolina for their involvement with air pistol shots being fired near a residence hall on campus. No one was injured Sunday night, but police issued an alert advising people to stay indoors on the Lexington campus as they investigated. Suspended for violating team rules are running back Stanley “Boom” Williams, who is leading the Wildcats in all-purpose yards, backup quarterback Drew Barker, wide receiver Dorian Baker, and defensive end Tymere Dubose. Coach Mark Stoops and athletic director Mitch Barnhart said the group could face additional internal discipline.

Former Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire enjoys a laugh during a news conference after Twins general manager Terry Ryan formally announced the firing of the Twins skipper Monday.

Twins fire Gardenhire MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — He was the third base coach who gave Kirby Puckett a high-five to punctuate his winning homer in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series. He was the trusting candidate who took Minnesota’s managing job when many thought the Twins were about to be contracted in 2002. He was the affable everyman who presided over the team’s turn-of-the-century renaissance and turned the AL doormat into a six-time division champion. Ron Gardenhire was just about everything in the 27 years he spent in the Twins organization. But even he couldn’t survive the worst four-year stretch in franchise history. The Twins fired Gardenhire on Monday, saying it was time for a new voice after his 13-year tenure concluded with 383 losses over the last four seasons. “The reason for this change, I think it’s safe to say, the last couple years we have not won enough games,” Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. “That’s what it comes down to. It’s nothing more, nothing less than that.” The move was made with one season left on Gardenhire’s contract, ending the second-longest active tenure in the major leagues

behind Mike Scioscia of the Angels. Gardenhire played an integral role in the franchise’s turnaround, guiding the Twins to the playoffs six times in nine seasons from 2002-10. But Gardenhire’s teams only got out of the first round once, and his postseason record was 6-21 with the last win coming in 2004. The Twins have long been the model of stability in not only baseball but major professional sports, with only two managers over the last 28 years and two general managers over the last 20 seasons. But all the losing of late became too much to overcome. Over the last four years, the Twins went 78-148 from Aug. 1 on for an abysmal .345 winning percentage. “I’m gone, I’m outta here because we didn’t win,” Gardenhire said. “That’s what it gets down to in baseball. That’s what it should get down to. You have to win on the field and these last four years have been tough for all of us.” The Twins finished this season at 70-92, making Gardenhire just the fourth manager in the game’s history to preside over at least four straight 90-loss seasons with the same team, joining Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics (nine), Zach Taylor of the St. Louis

Browns (four) and his predecessor with the Twins, Tom Kelly (four). Kelly returned for one more season after his streak, and he retired after an 85-77 finish in 2001. “One of the things we hope to get back to here is a winning culture across our organization, and not just with the major leagues,” Twins President Dave St. Peter said, later adding, “That’s clearly one of the goals with this move is to jumpstart that. Not to say that Ron wasn’t capable of that ... but I think we believe very strongly that we’ve gotten away from that in recent years.” In an era when job security for managers is seemingly measured in months, Gardenhire’s longevity has been truly unique. The outspoken and fiery Gardenhire quickly became one of the faces of the franchise, as synonymous with the Twins as the interlocking T and C on their caps. He took over for the revered Kelly, who won two World Series championships, just as the organization was starting to regain its footing after years of bad baseball. “I feel like he’s my brother, not my manager,” said a glassy-eyed Ryan, who has known Gardenhire dating to their days together in the New York Mets system in the 1980s.

Astros pick Hinch for manager HOUSTON (AP) — A.J. Hinch was hired as the manager of the Astros on Monday, and general manager Jeff Luhnow is confident he’ll be the man to return Houston to success. “I think A.J. is going to be the manager that’s going to be here when we win the World Series,” Luhnow said. Hinch takes over for Bo Porter, who was fired on Sept. 1 in his second year and replaced on an interim baseis by Tom Lawless. The Astros finished 70-92 and fourth in the AL West. Houston has been in a long rebuilding process and hasn’t finished above .500 since going 86-75 in 2008. Hinch takes over a team that made a 19-game improvement over last year to end a streak of three straight 100-loss seasons and one that features AL batting champion Jose Altuve. “The goal is to win championships,” Hinch said. “It’s easy to say but a lot of work. We need to build on the success that this organization has seen.” Hinch managed Arizona from May 2009 until July 2010, when he was fired after

31-48 start. He was the vice president of professional scouting for San Diego from 2010 until August. Porter was a first-time manager and Luhnow said he wanted someone that had managerial experience this time around. Hinch was also attractive to Luhnow because he had worked in baseball front offices as well as been a manager. “He’s well-rounded — understands my perspective,” Luhnow said. “He comes with a breadth of experience that very few guys have. The whole combination, the whole package was very unique.” The 40-year-old is a former catcher who spent seven seasons in the majors with the Athletics, Royals, Tigers and Phillies. He thinks his experience with the Diamondbacks will help him in his second shot at managing. “You learn a lot in this game every day,” Hinch said. “Through getting knocked down a little bit ... through losing a little bit too much you reflect on that and try to get better.” He wouldn’t put any

numbers on what he expects from the team next year. “We’re going to get this right ... however many wins that means,” Hinch said. “I believe we can do things sooner rather than later.” Other standouts on his new team are Chris Carter, whose 37 home runs were tied for second in the majors, and Dallas Keuchel, who showed he could be a frontof-the rotation starter. The Astros still aren’t good but finally have a solid foundation in place. Altuve finished with a franchise-record 225 hits and a .341 average, which both topped the majors. The 24year-old also led the AL with 56 stolen bases to go along with 47 doubles and 59 RBIs. He became the first Astro to win a batting title. A year after leading the team with 29 homers and 82 RBIs, Carter shook off a tough start to again top the Astros in homers and RBIs (88). “I was able to become more consistent and it’s good that I’ve had some success now and something to go off of and something go into the offseason with,” Carter said.

Sports PLAYOFFS From Page B1 “If you sit back and look at it, it means everything. It was the trade that got us over the hump,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Would we be in this situation without James Shields and Wade Davis? No. In my mind, the trade did exactly what we hoped it would do.” While the Royals were comfortable in their staff ace, the A’s were still searching for their own. They already had several front-line starters, but general manager Billy Beane had been stung by postseason disappointments, and he coveted a horse for such high-leverage games. Turns out that the Red Sox were willing to trade away just that kind of guy. The move Beane made for Lester on July 31, shipping slugger Yoenis Cespedes to The Associated Press Boston, raised eyebrows Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen watches as his team warms up before a Sept. 21 game against the New England Patriots. The Raiders around the league. And while fired Allen on Monday, after he lost the first four games of his third year as coach and often failed to field a competitive team. the Oakland offense took a hit, Lester has done his part. He is 6-4 with a 2.35 ERA in 11 starts since he arrived. Now, he gets another

Raiders fire coach after slow start ALAMEDA, Calif. — Dennis Allen arrived in Oakland as the fresh-faced, defensive mastermind who was supposed to be completely different than the parade of coaches during late owner Al Davis’ final years running the Raiders. Allen leaves Oakland after less than three seasons just like those others, having failed to turn around the downtrodden franchise. The Raiders fired Allen on Monday night after he lost the first four games of his third year as coach and often failed to field a competitive team. The decision was announced soon after the Raiders returned from London, where they lost their 10th straight game dating to last season, 34-14 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The firing was first reported by Fox Sports. Allen was the first head coach hired by Oakland after Al Davis’ death on October 2011. His 8-28 record is the worst for the franchise since before Davis arrived in 1963. His contract was set to run through next season. An announcement on the interim

coach will come today, with offensive line coach Tony Sparano and offensive coordinator Greg Olson the most likely options. Allen is the third coach fired during the season by Oakland since Davis arrived. Mike Shanahan was fired after four games in 1989 and Lane Kiffin was let go four games into the 2008 season. The Raiders have had 11 straight seasons without a winning record or a playoff berth. Oakland will now have its eighth coach since 2003. Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie were hired after the team finished 8-8 under coach Hue Jackson in 2011, falling one game short of a playoff bid. They were expected to steady a franchise that ran into disrepair during Davis’ final years as owner. Instead, the team has only gotten worse. The two were hamstrung their first two seasons by a lack of premium draft picks and a difficult salary-cap situation due to bad contracts handed out by Davis. But after spending their first two

years tearing down the team, owner Mark Davis expected the Raiders to be much more competitive this season after having ample salary cap room in the offseason and a near full complement of draft picks. Instead, the Raiders have looked overmatched at times. They fell behind 27-0 after three quarters of their only home game against Houston and trailed by 31 points after three quarters against the Dolphins. In all, Allen had more losses by at least 20 points (nine) than wins. It was performances like those that Mark Davis said he no longer wanted to see in Allen’s third season and ultimately led to his downfall.

opportunity to pitch in the postseason. “We have a great opportunity ahead of us,” said Lester, who some thought should have been the MVP of last year’s World Series, when he went 2-0 with an 0.59 ERA against St. Louis. Tonight will mark Lester’s 12th start and 14th postseason appearance. “We’re going to give it the best shot we can and hopefully at the end of the day we’re doing this again,” he said. “You never know what’s going to happen. This could be my last chance.” It bodes well for him that he’s facing the Royals, a team that likens the left-hander to kryptonite. He went 3-0 with a 2.61 ERA against them this season, winning twice in a span of a couple weeks with Oakland. He also no-hit Kansas City in 2008. “He has a lot of traits like Shields does. He’s a competitor,” Royals outfielder Alex Gordon said. “He battles out there. You can tell the way he carries himself ... Obviously his stuff is great, and that’s why he’s so great in the postseason. He’s a bulldog.”

But for flavor, we went overseas, drawing inspiration from two unrelated dishes — African peanut soup and spicy Thai peanut noodles. The combination was wonderful, assertive but still homey and

Think beyond Thanksgiving pies with canned pumpkin BY MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

Let’s talk about one of the season’s most iconic vegetables — canned pumpkin. Yes, canned, because that’s how 99 percent of us get our pumpkin. Which is fine except for one thing — Americans overwhelmingly associate canned pumpkin with just one dish (pumpkin pie) and one day of the year (Thanksgiving). But canned pumpkin actually has all sorts of uses in the kitchen, no matter what the season. Pumpkin puree’s rich flavor and creamy sweetness work great in both sweet and savory dishes. While we are so busy topping our pies with whipped cream, we have forgotten what a nutritional bargain this bulbous squash

actually is, packing tons of fiber and vitamins. And while it is naturally sweet, 1 cup has only about as much sugar as milk. One good part about canned pumpkin’s association with Thanksgiving... It often goes on sale this time of year. Since it stores so well, this is the time to stock up. (True story: I just used my final can of pumpkin from last fall this week in order to make today’s recipe.) Some of my favorite uses for pumpkin puree include: 1 ■ Stirring ⁄2 cup into brownie or chocolate cake batter to add nutrients and moisture. 1 ■ Adding ⁄4 cup to smoothies for creaminess and vitamins. ■ Slimming down baked

goods by swapping out part of the fat for pumpkin puree. ■ Whisking a bit into stews or chilies for added richness and depth. ■ Layering it with Greek yogurt, bananas, maple syrup and granola for a morning super-charged breakfast parfait. ■ Blending it with coffee, milk and spices for a homemade fall latte. And let’s not forget that pumpkin is, after all, a squash. Why not consider making a pumpkin puree soup? No laborious peeling and cubing needed! The sweet flavor pairs perfectly with spices, but feel free to use pumpkin puree in any of your favorite winter squash soup recipes. SEE PUMPKIN | C2

Could be served on a pita, or put into nachos

■

BY J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press This easy, weeknightfriendly chicken dinner is a bit of a cultural mash-up. Deliciously so. I started by bathing hardto-overcook chicken thighs in a robust satay-style sauce. The sauce delivers a sweettangy-savory-spicy blend of flavors thanks to ample amounts of brown sugar, cider vinegar, fish sauce and garlic chili paste. And tying it all together? Finely ground peanuts, which lend both a richness and a hearty texture to the sauce. As a balance to all those big flavors, the cooked chicken gets dressed with diced tomatoes and avocado, a cooling and fresh contrast to the warm chicken. Finally, a hearty sprinkle of malt vinegar (the usual condiment for fish and chips). It has a tangy sweetness that pulls everything together.

SPICY PEANUT CHICKEN SATAY

Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 6 1 cup roasted peanuts 1 ⁄2 cup packed brown sugar 1 ⁄2 cup cider vinegar 1 ⁄4 cup fish sauce 1 ⁄4 cup garlic-chili paste 1 ⁄4 cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each cut into 3 strips 6 medium plum tomatoes, diced 3 avocados, pitted and diced Kosher salt Malt vinegar, to serve Place the peanuts in a food processor. Using the pulse button, grind them until very

fine. Be careful not to overgrind; the peanuts should resemble breadcrumbs, not peanut butter. Transfer to a large bowl, then mix in the brown sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, garlic-chili paste, tomato paste and ginger. Add the chicken, stirring to coat well, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium-high. Use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to oil the grill grates. Thread the chicken onto skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes first to prevent them from burning. Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once. To serve, pile several skewers per plate, then spoon diced tomatoes and avocado over them. Season with salt and malt vinegar.

Tips for breaking through an artichoke’s armor BY SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Artichokes are the armadillos of the vegetable kingdom. There is a tender and succulent heart at the center of each specimen, but getting past its armor of prickly leaves can be daunting. How tough are those leaves? In my innocent younger years, I once tried to pulverize some artichoke leaves in my kitchen sink disposal and ended

up destroying the machine in the process. Despite that, steaming — and eating — a whole artichoke is relatively easy. You just cut off the stem and the top, trim the spiky tips of the leaves, place it in a steamer, and cook it for about 45 minutes. You then eat it a leaf at a time, zeroing in on the plump tasty nugget at the base of each leaf (dipped in butter, of course). It’s a very pleasant way to clear away the

brush until the happy moment when you arrive at the undefended heart. But what if you don’t want to eat it that way? What if your goal from the get-go is the heart and nothing but the heart? That’s when artichokes can be a pretty tough slog. I was taught the standard method — cut off and discard the stem, peel down the leaves SEE ARTICHOKE | C2

Thin is in for grilled zucchini BY ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Fettuccine with sauteed artichoke hearts and pancetta.

ARTICHOKE Continued from PageC1 one by one until each breaks off at the base, slice off the top of the artichoke, then trim down the bottom to the part that’s light green. Talk about laborious. I was not inspired to run through that routine very often. Then I went to an artichoke seminar in Castroville, California. Demonstrating a recipe that centered on artichoke hearts, one of the chefs showed us a much easier way to lose the leaves. He simply placed the artichoke on its side, then cut down and around the outside of the artichoke, thus removing all the leaves in one fell swoop. Amazed and grateful, I’ve done it that way ever since. By the way, do not cut off the stem. Though it is as fibrous and forbidding as the stem of a head of broccoli, if you peel away the rough outer layer, you’ll reach the sweet, green and eminently eatable center. A couple other notes about artichokes. They come our way twice each year — March through May, then again in early fall. Often the autumn artichokes will have some brown spots, but that doesn’t mean they’re spoiled. In fact, these specimens are what the farmers call “frost-kissed” and may be even more flavor-

ful than their springtime cousins. I’ve often wondered about the first human brave (or desperate) enough to hack away at the artichoke’s armor in search of the jewel at its core. But I admire that spirit of adventure. We benefit from it to this day.

FETTUCCINE WITH SAUTEED ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND PANCETTA

Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 4 1 whole lemon plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice, divided 6 globe artichokes 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt and ground black pepper 2 ounces pancetta, medium chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth 11⁄2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated 12 ounces fettuccine pasta Chopped fresh basil or parsley, to garnish Into a large bowl, juice the lemon and throw in the halves along with 1 quart of cold water.

side to trim off the tough outer leaves and expose the lighter green inner leaves.Discard the outer leaves. Turn the artichoke a quarter turn and continue trimming off the exterior leaves, repeating the process all around the artichoke. Cut off the top 11⁄2 inches of the artichoke, discarding those leaves. Using a melon baller, reach into the top of the artichoke and scoop out the fuzzy choke and discard it. Trim off the bottom 1⁄4inch of the artichoke stem then, working very quickly using a paring knife or a peeler, cut off the tough outer layer of the stem until you reach the tender light green core. Using the paring knife, trim off all the tough green part at the base of the artichoke that surrounds the heart until you have gotten down to the tender inner green part. Cut the artichokes into quarters and drop them into the water. When all of the artichoke hearts have been prepared, remove them from the water and use paper towels to pat them dry. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Reduce the heat to medium, add the artichoke hearts and saute them, stirring often, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper, then transfer them to a large bowl. Return the skillet to the heat and add the pancetta, reduce the heat to mediumlow and cook, stirring frequently, until it is golden, about 2 minutes. Return the artichokes to the pan along with the garlic and saute 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring the liquid to a boil. Set aside, off the heat, while you cook the pasta. Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook, according to package directions, until almost al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid, and add the fettuccine to the skillet. Cook, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and as much of the reserved cooking liquid as necessary to form a sauce, stirring, until the pasta is just finished cooking. Stir in half the cheese and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 serving bowls, then top each portion with additional cheese and basil or parsley.

Summer may be done, but the proliferation of zucchini continues. And we might as well make the most of it. Because even though zucchini is available all year, the end-ofsummer crop is always something special. When it is fresh from the garden and plump with natural juices, it is sweet and delicate and begs for simple preparations. One of my favorite recipes is grilled zucchini ribbons. I first used them to spruce up a grilled Greek-style pizza. At first, I wasn’t sure the thin ribbons would hold up to the heat of the grill. But not only did the zucchini grill perfectly and develop a beautiful ladder of grill marks, it was so tasty that I began adding the ribbons to other dishes. You will find that the grilled zucchini ribbons add both flavor and visual appeal to so many things. I love pairing them with homemade ricotta cheese and grilled bread, or tossing them with pesto and serving them like a veggie pasta. As the weather cools, I turn them into a vegetable lasagna with sauce made from the last of the tomatoes. But my favorite way is a light, delicate preparation that can be served as a simple side for grilled fish or pork, or as a warm salad — grilled zucchini ribbons with Parmesan cheese and toasted almonds. The trick to grilling the long, thin slices is to make sure that the entire surface of each zucchini ribbon has a thin coat of olive oil on it. This will promote caramelization —think grill marks — and help prevent sticking. Next, let the vegetable strips cook until they are ready to be turned, about 2 minutes per side. The zucchini ribbons will stick as soon as you place them on the heated cooking grates, but if the grates are clean and you’ve oiled the food, they will naturally release after the grill marks are made.

I toss the grilled ribbons in just a touch of butter to add a layer of flavor to the salad and bring out the flavor of the toasted almond slices. I don’t add any lemon or vinegar because I find that the acid kills the delicate sweetness of the summer zucchini, the nuttiness of the almonds and the unctuousness of the cheese.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI RIBBONS WITH PARMESAN AND TOASTED ALMONDS

Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 4 2 large zucchini 1 ⁄4 pound block or wedge Parmesan cheese Olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1 ⁄4 cup sliced almonds, toasted Kosher salt and ground black pepper Heat a grill to mediumlow. Slice off both ends of each zucchini, then slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a vegetable peeler, start on the flat side of each zucchini half and shave the zucchini into thin “ribbons.” Alternatively, use a mandoline or sharp knife to make the long thin slices. Continue until you have “peeled” all of the zucchini into ribbons. Repeat the shaving process with the cheese, cutting long ribbons off the block. Set the zucchini ribbons in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat the ribbons on both sides. Make sure the grill cooking grates are very clean. Carefully lay the ribbons across the grates. Grill for 2 minutes per side, or until well marked. Using tongs, carefully remove the zucchini from the grill and return it to the bowl. Add the butter and toss gently to coat. Mound the ribbons on a serving plate and top with the cheese and the almonds. The heat of the zucchini will warm the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. stantly, until the curry paste is very fragrant, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the stock and 1 cup of water. Once the liquid boils, reduce the heat to mediumlow, partially cover the pan, then let the soup cook until the potato and apple are very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the pumpkin and peanut butter. Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth, about 1 minute. The texture should be like heavy whipping cream. If the soup is too thick, whisk in a bit of water. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between 4 serving bowls and top with mint or cilantro.

BRIDGE Laurence J. Peter, who was a Canadian educator, said, “If two wrongs don’t make a right, try three.” We have been looking at deals with two potential trump suits, not three. By far the best analysis of the subject was written by Albert Morehead for his book, “Morehead on Bidding.” This was updated by Alan Truscott and your Present Author under the title “On Bidding.” It was an easy job because it

was such a good book. Sadly, it has been out of print for years, but maybe you can find a copy online. In today’s deal, the problem is not locating the best trump fit, but landing in a game contract that can be made. North-South have only one eightcard fit. Five diamonds, though, can be defeated if East establishes his club trick quickly. Then the defenders will take two hearts and one club. Reaching a 4-3-fit contract is always difficult. Here, South’s three-heart cue-bid asks North to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. When North cannot oblige, he shows three-card spade support. (With four spades, he would have raised on the previous round.) Then South, with such strong spades, goes with the 4-3 fit, the only game that cannot be defeated. West leads the heart three. East takes two tricks in the suit and — best — plays a third round. Ruffing this trick will be fatal unless the trumps are breaking 3-3. Instead, South discards a club. If East either plays a fourth heart or shifts to the club king, declarer can win, draw trumps and claim.
