A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS SERVING COOS COUNTY FOR OVER 97 YEARS.

BY THOMAS MORIARTYThe World

COOS BAY — The federalshutdown has resulted in theclosure of public ATV accesspoints leading to the OregonDunes, generating new busi-ness for some and sour grapesfor others.

Visitors to the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s websiteWednesday were greeted witha plain white page, stating onlythat the website is closed due tolack of funding.

The department houses theU.S. Forest Service, whichadministers the Oregon DunesNational Recreation Area as

part of the Siuslaw NationalForest.

Under the shutdown —which took effect at midnighton Monday — the Forest Ser-vice has closed ranger stations,visitor centers and recreationsites throughout the country.

Andrea Gross, whose familyowns and operates OregonDunes KOA on U.S. Highway101 near Hauser, said the clo-sures have left many riderswithout a way to access thedunes.

“Per the sheriff’s depart-ment, all the staging areas andthe campgrounds are closed,”Gross said.

She said that off-road

enthusiasts are still beingallowed to ride the dunes — ifthey can find an access point onprivate land.

Some public access pointsremain open, but without park-ing for vehicles and trailers.

The KOA campground is theonly campground actuallylocated within the boundary ofthe national forest, and sharesdunes access with Steve’s ATVRental next door.

Gross said the campgroundhas started selling day passes topeople who want to use theproperty solely to access thedunes.

SALEM — The Oregon Legisla-ture on Wednesday approved aseries of bills on pensions, taxesand genetically modified crops,then adjourned a special sessionafter three days of work.

The decision delivered a hard-fought victory to Democratic Gov.John Kitzhaber, who has beenworking for a year to convince law-makers to stem the growing costsof public-employee pensions. Togather support in the Legislature,the pension cuts were packagedwith changes to the tax code and abill prohibiting local governmentsfrom banning genetically modifiedcrops.

After days of tense negotiations,five bills cleared the House andSenate, most of them by the nar-rowest of margins.

“We were able to do what I thinka lot of people thought was impos-sible,” Kitzhaber told reportersafterward. He — and many in theLegislature — compared Oregonfavorably with the partisan battlein Congress that’s led to a partialshutdown of the federal govern-ment.

Kitzhaber, business leaders,education advocates and other

supporters say the rising cost ofpensions is contributing to largeclass sizes and shortened schoolyears and making it difficult forlocal governments to reinvest inservices that were cut during theGreat Recession.

Critics took issue with all partsof the package. Some said it’sunfair and potentially illegal to takeretirement benefits promised topublic employees. Others objectedto tax breaks for businesses or tothe inclusion of an agriculturemeasure in a package that initiallywas targeted at budget matters.

“Trading away environmentalprotections in unrelated legislativenegotiations is an all too commonpractice that’s bad for not justdemocracy but also the people ofOregon,” six environmental groupswrote in a statement following thevotes.

Kitzhaber first proposed pen-sion cuts in his budget released inDecember. Several attempts tomarry them with a tax increase fellapart during the regular legislativesession, which wrapped up in July.

The agreement just approvedwas negotiated last month byKitzhaber and the top Republicansand Democrats in the House and

PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon has,per capita, more registered sexoffenders than all but one otherstate. It also has one of the worstrecords in the country for followingfederal standards intended to keepsex offenders from moving to avoidsupervision, and it has become ahaven for offenders dodgingstricter rules elsewhere, a newspa-per investigation has concluded.

Often, officers came across sexoffenders violating the terms oftheir sentences only because theoffenders commit another crime,they’re pulled over for a traffic stop

or someone reports them, TheOregonian reported Wednesday.

“Most of these cases, to beblunt, are dumb luck,” said JoshMarquis, the Clatsop County’s dis-trict attorney who handled one ofthe state’s most notable cases, thatof sex offender Mark D. Beebout.

Beebout moved from Californiato Oregon, never telling policewhere he was living as required.Once in Oregon, he beat up onewoman and killed two others.

He still isn’t in the state registry,even though he was convicted offailing to register in March 2012 in

Clatsop County and was sentencedto life for aggravated murder andassault eight months ago inMultnomah County.

Among The Oregonian’s find-ings:

■ Oregon is two years behindentering names into its electronicdatabase of registered sex offend-ers. It’s so out of date that localpolice don’t rely on it.

“We don’t like where we’re at,”said Capt. Calvin Curths, com-mander of the State Police criminalinvestigation division. “We’re try-ing to fix it.”

The registration unit has 12people, but retirements and jobchanges last summer turned overthree quarters of the staff. Only oneperson is now qualified to log inmore than 1,200 offenders regis-tering for the first time since 2011.Also in the queue: More than13,000 updated change-of-address or annual registrations.

■ Oregon is among four statesthat have done the least to complywith registration and communitynotification guidelines under theAdam Walsh Child Protection andSafety Act passed seven years ago

to tighten a patchwork of statelaws.

Only 19 states have substantial-ly met the standards. A study bythe U.S. GovernmentAccountability Office showedOregon has completed eight of the14 guidelines.

States that don’t comply eitherlose 10 percent of an annual federalcrime-fighting grant or, as inOregon’s case, must use the 10 per-cent in compliance efforts.

Janice Kendall, presidentof the LTOB board of direc-tors, says, “Even after all the

repairs we do on the buildingevery year, we still have abuilding that eventuallyneeds to be replaced. Therepairs are horribly expen-sive, and it's like the littleDutch boy putting his fingerin the dam.”

We didn’t envy the taskundertaken by the governorand the legislature in spe-cial session this weekregarding the PublicEmployees RetirementSystem.

Lawmakers approved leg-islation that will slow the risein pensions and try to make adent in $16 billion inunfunded pension liability.

In this case, it’s absolutelynecessary. With $16 billion inunfunded liability, the statepension system is, quite sim-ply, currently out of control.

How did it get like this?The pension system for

public employees was creat-

ed in 1946. Individual con-tributions were combinedwith investment returns thatmatched contributions,allowing the state to calcu-late benefits based on earn-ings, not the lower rates ofinsurance companies.

But by the late 1960sbenefits were deemed inad-equate. Lawmakers beganenacting a series ofenhancements that, by 1975,guaranteed that retirementaccounts would grow byassumed earnings, no mat-ter what actual investmentreturns were.

The goal was to genereatebenefits equal to about 50

to 60 percent of final aver-age earnings for 30-yearemployees.

Then came the stock mar-ket boom. Accounts grew atan accelerated rate. Benefitsbegin amounting to morethan 100 percent of finalearnings. Some people wholeft the public sector andkept their money in the sys-tem watched their pensionsgrow double or more.

Why did everyone allowthe system to expand likethat? Simple. The nationwas happy to share in thegiddy Wall Street wealth ofthe 1990s.

Hindsight being 20-20, we

all can guess what camenext. The stock market crasherased 27 percent of thePERS fund in 2008. Thatforced a scramble to ratchetback. New employees got areduced plan and contribu-tions are directed to IRA-type accounts. Anotherboom-and-bust on WallStreet only aggravated theproblem.

There was no easy answer.Any solution will angerthose receiving pensions andthose still in the system.

Yet something had to bedone. A $16 billion deficit isirresponsible. It’s unfath-omable.

September is over, and even though wehave most of fall and a small part of winterto go, for some, the end of the year is nigh.For baseball and its fans, for instance, theyear ends in October. And for my Jewishfriends, the old year ended about threeweeks ago and the new year is already here.

I began thinking about year’s end when Ireflected on President Barack Obama’s yearso far — year one after re-election, year fiveof his presidency.

There was the trifecta of fake scandals —what I call the “mock shock,” since there wasno there, there. The economy’s remained anissue — modestly growing, but struggling.The countdown on immigration reformstarted, then stalled. Gun safety is an issuethat just won’t go away because people keepgetting massacred and Congress keeps

dithering.Speaking of Congress,

at this point, is it any-thing more than a badreality TV show? Howelse can Sen. Ted Cruz’sperformance bedescribed? Voted off theisland by his fellowRepublicans. I don’t thinkany president has had todeal with a more do-nothing (only about 22bills passed), hold-my-

breath-till-my-face-turns-blue group of“representatives.”

If you liked “The Phony Debt CeilingCrisis, Part I,” you’ll love “Part II: PushAmerica Off the Fiscal Cliff,” coming to aCongress near you this October. And com-peting for theater time is “TheSequestration” — which should frighteneven Stephen King.

Opening this week was “Let’s Slash FoodStamps,” or the “Starve the Working Poorand Struggling Middle Class Bill.” AsRepublican Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansassaid, “You can no longer sit on your couch... and expect the federal taxpayer to feedyou.” This from a man who will work 126days (how long the House will be in session)and do nothing — or at least, not do thepeople’s business — for 239 days, whilebeing fed on $172,000 of taxpayer money.

Finally, there’s Obamacare and theHouse Republicans’ vote to defund it.Again. And again. And again. And again.And again. It’s like a game show: “America’sGot Talent, Congress Doesn’t.”

If this all seems a bit sardonic, well, it’sbeen that kind of year, too.

But President Obama is an optimist.And despite the setbacks, when we lookback, there will be moments we can point toand the president can say, because of that,“It was a very good year.”

Presidents are like quarterbacks — get-ting harassed and hit are part of the jobdescription.

A quarterback has four quarters to man-age and win a game. A president has fouryears in a term to define his vision, thenmanage and guide his agenda into law andpolicy.

As any quarterback will tell you, allquarters are equally important, but thefourth quarter is the most important. That’swhen the field general and the time manag-er excel.

Sometimes, a quarterback has to makethings happen in the fourth quarter — whenthe game is close, but especially when theteam’s behind.

But sometimes the best thing a quarter-back can do is just bide his time — let hisdefense work, run some running plays, killclock. When you’ve got a lead, the smartplay is to keep the pressure on and run thehigh-percentage plays.

We’re not into the final quarter ofObama’s term yet. That starts after themid-term elections in 2014. But in the lastquarter of this year, he may already be incontrol-the-clock mode — because he canstill play and find bipartisan solutions to ourproblems.

Looking atObama’syear

Reconciling gunsand kindness

A few days ago I was about toenter Bi-Mart when the dooropened and a tall man emerged,leaving the store. The first thing Isaw was a rifle slung over his rightshoulder. My eyes shifted to hisleft hand which held a baby carri-er, complete with baby. Seeingme, the man stuck out his footand propped open the door for meto enter the store. Shocked,amazed, dumbfounded, I man-aged to thank him. The man, therifle and the baby exited my life asquickly as they had entered it, butthis 5-second encounter replaysin my mind, challenging me tomake sense of it.

It’s obvious I am not used toseeing anyone sporting a rifle inpublic. When I recounted theincident to a friend, sheexplained, “It’s hunting season,”and really not such an unusual

sight in our small town. But itwas the first time I had seen it,the man with a rifle and a baby.

In the wake of the recent massshooting in our country, It seemsto me more than a sign of thearrival of hunting season. A mancarrying a deadly weapon hasbecome an image of mayhem.But my encounter with the manwas utterly benign. He carried aninfant. He went out of his way todo me a kindness. It is the para-dox, the juxtaposition of theweapon and the infant that I can-not reconcile. The baby and theman’s kindness remind me that,as a whole, we Americans are acompassionate people who goout of our way to help others.Except when it comes tofirearms. These objects bring outour insanity.

Nothing can persuade our leg-islators that we owe the inno-cents already slaughtered byfirearms laws to end further

slaughter: Laws requiring thor-ough background checks for gunpurchases and laws banningassault weapons. Reason, logicand basic humanity must some-how overcome the misguidedbelief that gun rights trump allother rights, even the right to life.The baby symbolizes the future,as the man’s kindness to me per-haps signals hope. Or will thechild become another gun ownerwho insists that gun rights areunlimitable? I love my country. Ihate what we have let happen:The enshrinement of universalownership of deadly weapons asour highest good. I thank theman with the rifle and the babyfor making me think and write.

Good stewards ofthe land

I am sitting in my chair gazing

out of my living room window atan active timber harvest on thewest slopes above IsthmusSlough.

I came to Coos County in early1975. At the time, that hillsidewas a recent clear-cut with novisible trees. Now, nearly 40years later, Menasha is harvest-ing its crops of timber. In con-junction with their timber har-vest, they are creating jobs forthe loggers, log-truck drivers,longshoremen, mill workers andtree planters of Coos Bay.

Those of us living in CoosCounty should be thankful thatmost of our local timber compa-nies are good stewards of theland, loyal to the local communi-ty, and appreciate their continu-ing efforts in helping to maintainthe economy of Coos County.

JJooeell RRoobbbbCoos Bay

Last month Republicans inthe House of Representativesvoted to slash food stampspending by $39 billion over 10years. The next day, the Wash-ington Post ran a picture of a jobfair in suburban Maryland. Thecaption reported that “about1,000 applicants an hour”streamed into the event search-ing for work.

A few days later, Post colum-nist Petula Dvorak reported thatwhen Wal-Mart opened a hiringcenter for six new stores inWashington, a line of job-seek-ers was “snaking down the side-walk” at daybreak. One of them,52-year-old Ronald Knight, saidhe was taking care of his dyingmother: “A job is a job and I needa job. All I want is to work, andI’ll take anything.”

These stories tell a cruel tale.Republicans say that cuttingfood stamps would reduce“dependency” and push recipi-ents into the workforce. That’s anoble goal, but right now it’s alsoan ideological illusion.

The official unemploymentrate is 7.3 percent, but the realrate is double that. Many frus-trated job-seekers have settledfor part-time positions ordropped out of the marketentirely. Even folks like Knight,

who will “take anything,” remainunemployed.

The same Republicans whovoted to cut food stampsacknowledge the problem whenit suits their political purpose.Last June, Speaker John Boehnercharged that the “American peo-ple are asking, ‘Where are thejobs?’”

The Speaker can’t have it bothways. If jobs are that scarce, thenfood stamps are needed morethan ever.

One group of Republicansknows that to be true: governors.Under current law, able-bodiedadults with no dependents canonly receive food stamps forthree months over three years.That limit can now be waived intimes of economic hardship, and45 states, including many red

ones, have applied for thosewaivers. But the House billwould eliminate that option.

Legislators can afford self-delusion; governors have to takeresponsibility and deal withreality.

For many decades, agricul-tural subsidies and feeding pro-grams were combined into onebill, cementing the cooperationof urban and rural legislators. AsBob Dole, a former Republicanleader in the Senate, and TomDaschle, a former Democraticleader, wrote in the Los AngelesTimes last week, “We proudlycount ourselves among a seriesof bipartisan teams of legislatorswho worked ... to address hungerthrough provisions in the farmbill.”

But today, anything thatsmacks of bipartisanship is poi-son. That’s why Republicanleaders took food stamps out ofthe farm bill and passed a stand-alone measure. They wanted tothwart any possibility of cross-aisle cooperation.

Cooperation is not the onlycasualty. So is compassion. TheReagan era was marked by arhetorical war against the poor, acascade of criticism about “wel-fare queens” buying beer andsteaks on food stamps. The cur-

rent debate echoes with thesame mean-spirited, wrong-headed stereotypes: The poorare shiftless moochers andDemocrats want to raise taxes onhard-working Americans to buythe votes of those deadbeats.

Rep. T im Huelskamp ofKansas told the House that slic-ing food stamps sent a harshmessage: “You can no longer siton your couch ... and expect thefederal taxpayer to feed you.”

Republicans used that line ofattack very effectively for manyyears, winning five of six presi-dential elections between 1968and 1988. But it hasn’t worked sowell lately. Democrats have wonthe popular vote in five of the lastsix elections, and even someconservatives think the assaulton food stamps will backfire.

Most Americans who needhelp are not sitting on theircouches waiting for a handout.They’re lining up at dawn, beg-ging for a job and willing to “takeanything.” And even when theyget a job, they still often struggleto feed their families. Theyshould not go hungry. Not here.Not in America.

StateMr. right’s

only wrong ishanging out

with his exesDDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: I have been

dating Mr. Right for twoyears. “Phil” is the man Iwant to spend my life with.When we are together pri-vately, everything is perfect.

The problem is, Phil hangsout with his old college bud-dies every few weeks ormonths, and it often involveshis ex-girlfriends. They don’t

hang outa l o n e .There isalways atleast oneother per-son there.The situa-tions usual-ly included r i n k i n g ,which wor-ries me.

In myo p i n i o n ,Phil should

not be seeing his exes, eventhough his college friends arestill buddies with them. Phildoesn’t understand why Ithink this is so wrong. I amuncomfortable and think heshould avoid these situa-tions.

Am I overly jealous, orshould I call it quits becausehe won’t respect my feelingson the matter? — HOMEALONE IN KOKOMO

DDEEAARR HHOOMMEE AALLOONNEE:: Idon’t think you are overlyjealous, but I do think youmay be overly insecure. HasPhil given you any reason tothink he has cheated on you?If not, you should trust thathe is doing nothing morethan hanging out occasional-ly with old friends.

You say he is encounteringexes (plural) when he sees hismale friends. If it was justone, you might have cause toworry. Remember, thesewomen are exes for a reason.Unless you want to be anoth-er ex, you should lighten upbecause insecurity and pos-sessiveness are unattractivetraits.

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: We havelived next door to a couple,“Evie” and “Earl,” for fiveyears. I thought we were goodfriends. Over the years, Ivented to Evie about my rela-tionship with my daughter-in-law, “Cate.” I watch mytwo grandkids most of theweek and have complained toher about Cate’s poor par-enting skills.

Last summer, my daugh-ter-in-law made a concertedeffort to befriend Evie, andthey now socialize together— even though Cate flirtedwith Earl and Evie didn’t likeit. This has pretty muchkilled my friendship withEvie and worsened my rela-tionship with my D-I-L.

This has affected me emo-tionally and physically to thepoint that I either want to cutoff ties with my son and/ormove — neither of which isreally an option. I have triedtalking to both parties to noavail. I don’t know what todo. Please help. —BETRAYED IN PENNSYL-VANIA

DDEEAARR BBEETTRRAAYYEEDD:: If youhad concerns about yourdaughter-in-law’s parentingskills, the person you shouldhave discussed them withwas Cate. And if Evie was asgood a friend as you thought,she wouldn’t be hangingaround with your daughter-in-law to the exclusion ofyou.

I assume that you, yourson and Cate are still onspeaking terms and you’restill watching the kids “mostof the week.” If that’s not trueand you have been cut off byeveryone, then the mostimportant thing you need todo is take care of your mentaland physical health. Acceptthat Evie will never be yourbuddy again and start social-izing with others.

If you are no longer watch-ing your grandchildren, yourson and D-I-L will have tomake alternative arrange-ments for childcare, whichwill cost them money theymay be reluctant to spend.Then it will be in their inter-est as well as yours to makepeace.

GRANTS PASS —Oregonians shopping forhealth insurance under thenation’s new health care lawstill could not sign up onlineWednesday, but privateinsurance agents were takingcalls, telling people aboutplans and premiums, andeven signing up some peoplefor coverage.

Cover Oregon spokes-woman Amy Fauver saidproblems with a computerprogram that determines aperson’s eligibility forMedicaid and tax credits thatreduce premiums still hastoo high an error rate, but it’s

expected to be working cor-rectly by the end of October.The deadline to enroll is Dec.15 to qualify for coveragestarting Jan. 1.

“That’s been our plan allalong,” she said. “With anyIT rollout you know there aregoing to be glitches that did-n’t get identified in our test-ing.”

As of 11 a.m. Wednesday,about 146,000 people had vis-ited the websitehttp://www.coveroregon.com,and 3,500 had called the hot-line, Fauver said.

Hart Insurance co-ownerErinn Fralich in Grants Passsaid it was getting callsreferred from the CoverOregon website and making

appointments to help peoplesign up in November, whenthe website is expected to befully functional. Peoplecould sign up with a paperform and send it in, but itwould take up to 45 days tobe approved, so Fralich saidhis agency decided to waituntil the website makessign-ups instantaneous.

“We had a few individualstrek in, frantic, afraid thatOct. 1 was the first and lastday you could apply for it,”said Bisi Carter, CoverOregon coordinator at theUrban League of Portland.

Aflac agent DarrinAnselm in Grants Pass saidhe had received calls from 11people who wanted to talk

about coverage since thewebsite went up Tuesday.Most were people in their60s without health insur-ance who want coverage for ayear or two until they qualifyfor Medicare, or parentsbetween 21 and 35 looking forcoverage for themselves andtheir children.

Anselm said he and otheragents were able to use thewebsite to go over plans withclients and calculate theirpremiums.

The nonprofit insurerOregon’s Health CO-OP hadabout 20 people sign up forcoverage Tuesday morning.Bob Dickes, director of salesand marketing, saidWednesday he estimated

that the total was probablystill under 100.

“We don’t expect peopleto actually enroll in October,”he said. “I expect people toshop and see what’s outthere.”

Dickes noted that cus-tomers have to make amonth’s payment when theysign up, so he expects moreto do that closer to the first ofthe year, when coveragestarts. He noted that themonthly premium for plansoffered on Oregon’sexchange range between$180 and $400, and heexpects insurance shoppersto check out between threeand five carriers before mak-ing a decision.

Day 2: Cover Oregon website still not up to speed

Fresh coat

The Associated Press

A snowplow scrapes packed snow and ice from a parking lot as clouds lift briefly to reveal Mount Hood with a fresh coat of snow fromwinter-like storms that passed through the state recently near Government Camp Wednesday.

SALEM (AP) — Oregonscientists say thousands ofswallows died during recentWillamette Valley rains, like-ly of starvation because thebirds feed on insects whileflying and they couldn’t getout in the weather to feed.

Veterinarians said fourdays of steady rain and windhelped make September thewettest on record in theValley. They came at a timewhen birds would have beenfeeding in preparation forwinter migration to Centraland South America.

The Department of Fishand Wildlife says it got callsabout dead and dying birdsfrom residents ranging fromthe Port of Saint Helens onthe Columbia River toJunction City north ofEugene.

Groups of 10 to 200 barnand violet-green swallowswere reported dead or dyingin barns and other structureswhere they perch.

Group files suit to stopbarred owl shooting

GRANTS PASS (AP) — Ananimal rights group has suedto stop the federal govern-ment from killing thousandsof barred owls in theNorthwest to see if that willhelp the threatened northernspotted owl turn around itspopulation declines.

The lawsuit was filedMonday in U.S. DistrictCourt in Sacramento, Calif.,by Friends of Animals.

It claims the plan by theU.S. Fish and WildlifeService to kill 3,600 barred

owls violates the MigratoryBird Treaty Act.

The group’s attorney,Michael Harris, says the actrequires that any killing ofbirds for research must ben-efit the bird that is killed, andin this case the experimentbenefits another bird, thespotted owl.

The agency did notrespond to a call for com-ment due to the governmentshutdown.

Towing company suesover undercover cars

SALEM (AP) — Theowner and two employees ofa Salem towing company aresuing three law enforcementagencies for $5 million,accusing them of wrongfullyarresting workers whorefused to release undercov-er police cars that were reg-istered under fictitiousnames.

The complaint was filedSept. 19 in federal court bythe men from Bales andBrady Towing West. It namesthe Salem and Keizer policedepartments, the federalDrug EnforcementAdministration and six offi-cers.

The Statesman Journalreports three cars weretowed in January 2012 from aprivate parking lot. The towcompany refused to releasethem to police because theycould not provide proof of

ownership. Police arrestedtwo employees, took the keysand removed the cars.

The employees were lateracquitted of obstruction.

Stolen wheelchairreturned to family

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) —The Eugene, city managerhas fired the city prosecutor,who was arrested for investi-

gation of drunken drivingbut has not been charged.

ASTORIA (AP) — Somecommercial fishermen on theColumbia River are experi-menting with alternative gearto avoid being shunted to sidechannels for using gillnets,which have been criticized asdamaging to salmon restora-tion.

But even though regula-tors have given them a chanceat late-returning cohosalmon this fall, only a fewcommercial gillnet fishermenare expected to bear the costof going out with tangle netsin the next two weeks, theDaily Astorian reported.

Fishermen have to pay forthe gear themselves to test itout, and many are skepticalthat the investment will beworthwhile in the long run.

Mike Wullger, however, isgiving the new net a try.Wullger, a commercial fisher-men for 37 years, replaced histraditional gillnet Tuesdaywith a tangle net with asmaller mesh, sized to catchfish with their teeth instead ofgills and priced at $2,000.

“We’ve gone to prettygreat extents to adapt,” saidWullger. “A lot of guys arewaiting to see if it works.”

Wullger said he joined thetrial tangle net fisherybecause he can still fish with-out a crew and doesn’t have tobuy equipment other than thenew net.

“With this boat I can makesome money,” he said.

Gillnets are the primarytool that about 200 commer-cial fishers use to catchsalmon on the Columbia.They snag fish by the gills,preventing them from break-ing free. Critics say theyaren’t selective and kill manyfish that would otherwise bereturned to the water.Fishermen, however, say theycan be selective through theirpractices, such as choosingtimes and places.

New regulations champi-oned by Gov. John Kitzhabermove gillnet fishing to areasoff the main channel of theColumbia. They’re beingchallenged in court.

Under Kitzhaber’s pro-posed plan for lowerColumbia River managementoverhauls, seine nets thatencircle rather than snag thefish could soon be set for test-ing as an alternative. Seinenets would allow fishermen tosort fish.

Gillnetters say that fishingmethod would mean only afew big operations would beviable because of the invest-ment required for biggerboats, crews and nets.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Taking out a mortgage. Get-ting married in a park. Goingfor a fall foliage drive. Cash-ing a check.

Who knew that so manyrandom activities of dailylife could be imperiled by ashutdown of the federalgovernment?

Americans are finding that“the government” entails alot more than the stereotypeof faceless D.C. bureaucratscranking out red tape.

And so it is that two dozenOctober weddings, includingnine this week, are in jeopardybecause they’re scheduled formonument sites on theNational Mall. Ditto for a NewJersey couple planning tomarry at the Grand Canyon.

M ike Cassesso andMaiLien Le’s permit to getmarried Saturday on the lawnnear the Jefferson Memoriallooks to be among the casual-ties, giving rise to a newTwitter hashtag for their#shutdownwedding. They’relooking at alternate sites,including the restaurantbooked for their reception.

Also canceled: a weekendKu Klux Klan rally at Gettys-burg National Military Parkin Pennsylvania.

Want to take a drive alongVirginia’s popular SkylineDrive to take in the fall colorsin Shenandoah NationalPark? Not till the govern-ment reopens.

It’s not just romance,tourism and public eventsthat are in jeopardy.

Consider the Wisconsinfarmer who can’t cash acheck for a cow he sold.

Ben Brancel, the state’sagriculture secretary, saidthat because the farmer has aloan from the Farm ServiceAgency, he can’t cash thecheck without both his ownsignature and one from anFSA official, unavailableduring the shutdown.

Ready to buy your firsthouse?

Borrowers applying for amortgage can expect delays,especially if the shutdown isprolonged. That’s becausemany lenders need govern-ment confirmation of appli-cants’ income tax returnsand Social Security data.Mortgage industry officialssay they expect bottleneckson closing loans if the shut-down stretches on for morethan a few days.

In addition, low- to moder-ate-income borrowers andfirst-time homebuyers seek-ing government-insuredmortgages for single-familyhomes from the Federal Hous-ing Administration can expectlonger waits because of sharpreductions in FHA staffing.

Even workers who gettheir paychecks from a stategovernment aren’t safe fromthe ripple effects of a federalshutdown.

Want to escape the shut-down worries with a bikeride on the C&O Canal, apopular 184-mile trail andnational park betweenWashington and Cumber-land, Md.?

Closed. Those thinking ofignoring the closure noticeand going anyway shouldconsider this: Restrooms willbe locked and handlesremoved from water pumpsalong the way.

One possible silver liningto shutdown annoyanceswrit small and large: Thewhole thing could serve as ateachable moment for allthose people who tell poll-sters that they want budgetcuts — as long as they aren’tdirectly affected.

He said the shutdowncould serve as a reminderthat “you’re not going to beable to the balance the budg-et just by cutting spending inWashington that doesn’taffect people.”

DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (AP) — For months, atight-knit group of seniors at a North Caroli-na church had been looking forward to theroad trip.

It was a tradition for members of theYoung at Heart Ministry to attend the annu-al Fall Jubilee in Gatlinburg, Tenn., an eventfeaturing gospel singers and speakers. Theevent’s website described the gathering as“three days of singing, laughing and preach-ing” for “mature and senior believers.”

But on the way back to Statesville, N.C.,on Wednesday, the bus carrying the FrontStreet Baptist Church group blew a tire,veered across a highway median and crashedinto a sport utility vehicle and tractor-trailerin a fiery wreck that killed eight people.

Fourteen other people were hurt in theaccident in northeastern Tennessee, includ-ing two who were in critical condition.

Church members on Wednesday nightwere waiting for more details. None of thevictims have been identified.

“This is hard,” said Jerry Wright, whose73-year-old brother, John, and his wife wereon the bus. “You try not to think the worst,but it gets to you.”

He believes his brother may have beendriving the church bus because he had doneso in the past.

Inside the Statesville church, people were

crying and hugging each other. One womanwhispered, “It’s going to be all right” whilehugging another woman. A service was heldWednesday evening. Police cordoned off thechurch to prevent reporters from talking tothose who attended.

Authorities said the bus crossed the medi-an and the cable barriers that divide theinterstate around 2 p.m., clipped the oncom-ing SUV and slammed into the tractor-trail-er, which burst into flames.

Several hours after the crash, clouds ofsmoke still rose from the tractor-trailer and treebranches that lined the highway were charred.

The bus was on its side next to the tractor-trailer, lying across two lanes of traffic andextending partially into the median.

The bus itself didn’t actually catch on fire,but there was some “heat exposure,” Jeffer-son County Emergency Management Direc-tor Brad Phillips said. Emergency responderswere able to remove people who were aliverapidly to get them away from the flames andother Good Samaritans provided assistance.

The SUV was about 50 yards away fromthe tractor-trailer. It was still upright, butthe back half had been completely ripped off.

The interstate was completely shut downin both directions, and the scene was eerilyquiet, despite the presence of many emer-gency workers.

WASHINGTON (AP) —National Security Agency chiefGen. Keith Alexander revealedWednesday that his spy agencyonce tested whether it couldtrack Americans’ cellphonelocations, in addition to itspractice of sweeping broadinformation about calls made.

Alexander and Director ofNational Intelligence JamesClapper testified at a SenateJudiciary Committee hearingon proposed reforms to theNSA’s surveillance of phoneand Internet usage around theworld, exposed in June by for-mer NSA analyst EdwardSnowden.But neither spy chiefspent much time discussingproposed reforms; instead theywere questioned about newpotential abuses that havecome to light since then.

Alexander denied a NewYork Times report publishedSaturday that said NSAsearched social networks ofAmericans searching for for-eign terror connections, anddetailed 12 previously revealedcases of abuse by NSA employ-ees who used the network forunsanctioned missions likespying on a spouse. He said allemployees were caught andmost were disciplined.

Alexander and Clapper alsotold lawmakers that the gov-ernment shutdown that beganTuesday over a budget impasseis seriously damaging the intel-ligence community’s ability toguard against threats.They saidthey’re keeping counterterror-ism staff at work as well asthose providing intelligence totroops in Afghanistan, but thatsome 70 percent of the civilianworkforce has been fur-loughed.Any details on the jobsheld by the furloughedemployees is classified.

BURKA, West Bank (AP)— After a long court battle,Palestinian farmers havereclaimed land they lost to anIsraeli settlement in the1970s.

Israel dismantled Homeshand three other West Banksettlements in 2005, in con-nection with a wider with-drawal from the Gaza Strip,but refused to let the originalPalestinian landownersreturn to the Homesh area.

The Israeli group Yesh Dinsays it fought a successful

legal battle to restore theland to the farmers.

On Thursday, farmersfrom the village of Burkareturned to their nearby landfor the first time.

Fathallah Hajjeh says he“never felt such joy.”

Since capturing the WestBank, Gaza and eastJerusalem in 1967, Israel builtand expanded settlements,now home to more than halfa million Israelis.

The Palestinians seek astate in those territories.

TOKYO (AP) — The UnitedStates and Japan movedThursday to modernize andexpand their defense allianceto counter new 21st centurychallenges including the con-tinuing threat from nuclear-armed North Korea andpotential aggression fromChina over disputed territory.

Revamping the guidelinesof their defense partnershipfor the first time in 16 years,the allies agreed to position asecond early-warning radarin Japan within the next yearto help protect against NorthKorea. And by next spring,they will deploy new long-range surveillance drones tohelp monitor disputedislands in the East China Sea,a move that may well raisetensions with Beijing.

The foreign and defenseministers of the two coun-tries also, for the first time,put a price on what Japan willcontribute to the relocationof Marines out of Okinawa toGuam and other locations inthe Asia-Pacific region.Japan will pay up to $3.1 bil-lion of the move, whichincludes development of newfacilities in Guam and theNorthern Mariana Islands.

U.S. Secretary of StateJohn Kerry and U.S. DefenseSecretary Chuck Hagel metwith Japanese Foreign Minis-ter Fumio K ishida andDefense Minister ItsunoriOnodera and afterward laidout the details of the session.The talks, ahead of PresidentBarack Obama’s visits toIndonesia and Brunei nextweek, were aimed at modern-izing the American-Japanesealliance that both sides main-tain is a cornerstone of peaceand stability in North Asia.

“Japan is changing and so isits neighborhood,” Kerry said.“So we’re coming together nowto modernize our deep cooper-ation, through both our mili-tary alliances and our diplo-matic partnerships, and that isso we can better prevent andrespond to the ever-changingthreats of the 21st century.”

ROME (AP) — A shipcarrying African migrantsto Europe caught fire andcapsized Thursday off thesouthern Italian island ofLampedusa, killing at least94 p e o p l e a s h u n d re d swere dumped into the sea,officials said. Over 150people were rescued butsome 200 others were stillunaccounted for.

It was one of the deadliestrecent accidents in the per-ilous Mediterranean Seacrossing for African migrantsseeking a new life in theEuropean Union. Smugglerscharge thousands of dollars ahead to smuggle people toEurope aboard overcrowded,barely seaworthy fishingboats, providing no life vestsor other safety features.

“We need only caskets,certainly not ambulances,”P ietro Bartolo, chief ofhealth services on Lampe-dusa, told Radio 24. He gavethe death toll at 94 but said itwould certainly rise as searchoperations continued.

The 66-foot boat wasbelieved to be carrying 450 to500 people, according to anexpert with the InternationalOrganization for Migration.The boat left from Tripoliwith migrants from Eritrea,Ghana and Somalia, Italiancoast guard spokesmanMarco Di M illa toldreporters.

Lampedusa is closer toAfrica than the Italian main-

land — a mere 70 miles offthe coast of Tunisia — and isthe frequent destination forsmugglers’ boats.

Rescue crews hauled bodybags by the dozens off coastguard ships Thursday andItalian coast guard ships,local fishing boats and heli-copters from across theregion combed the waters,trying to find survivors.

Only three of the estimat-ed 100 women on board havebeen rescued so far and noneof the 10 children believedon board were saved, shesaid. Two of the dead werepregnant.

According to InteriorMinister Angelino Alfano,the ship began taking onwater during the night afterthe motor was cut as itneared Conigli island offLampedusa, a tiny speck ofan island closer to Africathan the Italian mainland.

Usually smugglers havecellphones or satellitephones to call for help whenthey near shore or run intotrouble, but this time theydidn’t. Instead, someone onboard set fire to a piece ofmaterial to attract the atten-tion of passing ships, only tohave the fire spread to theship itself.

The passengers all movedto one side to avoid the fire,f l i p p i n g t h e s h i p a n dspilling hundreds of men,women and children intothe sea, he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —FBI agents found him in abranch of the San Franciscopublic library, chatting online.

The man known as DreadPirate Roberts — 29-year-oldRoss William Ulbricht — wason his personal laptop Tuesdayafternoon, authorities said,talking about the vast blackmarket bazaar that is believedto have brokered more than $1billion in transactions for ille-gal drugs and services.

Ulbricht was later chargedin criminal complaints infederal courts in New Yorkand Maryland. He’s accusedof making millions of dollarsoperating the secret SilkRoad website and of a failedmurder-for-hire scheme, allwhile living anonymouslywith two roommates whomhe paid $1,000 to rent a roomin a modest neighborhood.

Louisiana to Florida.The U.S. National Hurri-

cane Center in Miami says thelate-season storm formedThursday morning. It wasabout 500 miles south of themouth of the Mississippi Riverand already had maximumsustained winds of 60 mph.

Surge in Afghan IEDsas withdrawal looms

GARDEZ, Afghanistan(AP) — After 12 years of war,roadside bombs are the No. 1killer, claiming thousands oflives every year. And as for-eign troops wind down oper-ations in preparation for theirwithdrawal in 15 months,insurgents are using an everlarger number of theseexplosives to assert their gripand recapture territory.

Afghan and coalition mili-tary officials say their enemyis resorting to hidden bombs

because it can’t take on theAfghan security forces inopen battle. Now they areequipping Afghan forceswith metal detectors andspecialized vehicles to clearroads, and running a schoolfor bomb squads.

China’s recyclingreforms jolts industry

BEIJING (AP) — China foryears has welcomed theworld’s trash, creating a roar-ing business in recycling andlivelihoods for tens of thou-sands. Now authorities areclamping down on an indus-try that has helped the richWest dispose of its waste butalso added to the degradationof China’s environment.

The Chinese campaign isaimed at enforcing standardsfor waste imports after Beijingdecided too many were unus-able or even dangerous andwould end up in its landfills.Under the crackdown dubbedGreen Fence, China hasrejected hundreds of contain-ers of waste it said were con-taminated or that improperlymixed different types of scrap.

histories of only 649 ofOregon’s 25,354 sex offend-ers appear on the state’spublic website.

Oregon law limits the listto sex offenders designatedas predatory and includesother qualifications. Federallaw calls for states to publi-cize all registered sex offend-er’s photos, names, address-

es and places of employ-ment, except for those con-victed of misdemeanor sexoffenses that involve anadult victim.

■ Oregon is out of stepwith federal classificationrules that call for offenders tobe put in one of three cate-gories based on convictions.

The Legislature passed alaw this year setting up athree-tiered registrationsystem based on risk andmaking it easier for someoffenders to petition forrelief from registration.

Defenders of the bill saythe list of offenders is grow-

ing too large to follow andfocusing on those posing thegreatest risk will be moreeffective.

Risk assessments havebeen done for about 16,000of Oregon’s offenders. Thestate parole board could fin-ish the rest in another fouryears if it gets two additionalstaffers, said Jay Scroggin,who recently served as theboard’s executive director.

■ Oregon has 496 regis-tered sex offenders for each100,000 people. The highestproportion in the nation is inDelaware, 537 offenders per100,000 people.

Senate. Democrats agreed tothrow in the geneticallymodified foods bill whenthey were unable to meetRepublican demands forsteeper pension cuts or moregenerous tax cuts for smallbusinesses.

Fearing a growing effortby environmental groups toseek local regulations ongenetically modified foods,the agriculture industry haspushed for a statewide pre-emption.

Retired governmentworkers will see their pen-sions grow at a slower rate.For decades, pension checkshave increased at a rate of 2percent annually. Now, thefirst $60,000 will increase by1.25 percent per year and therest will grow by 0.15 per-cent. The lowest-income

retirees will temporarily getsupplemental payments tohelp mitigate the loss.

Beneficiaries in the PublicEmployee Retirement Sys-tem and unions that repre-sent government workershave vowed to challenge thecuts in court. Many of thelawmakers who voted for thePERS cuts said they didn’twant to take benefits fromworkers, but the system’smassive unfunded liabilitiesrequire action.

Together with cuts adopt-ed earlier this year, thechanges approved Wednes-day would erase about aquarter of the system’sunfunded liabilities, whichwere created when invest-ment losses erased 27 per-cent of the PERS fund in2008.

Kitzhaber sought to reas-sure retirees that he wasdone pushing for cuts totheir pension checks, sayingPERS “is off the table for thisgovernor.”

“We are done,” he said.“We’re going to move on to

other things that are impor-tant to Oregonians, put thisbehind us.”

Some higher-income indi-viduals and businesses willsee a higher tax bill. Individu-als earning at least $100,000— couples more than$200,000 — won’t be able toclaim the $183 personal taxexemption. Use of a taxdeduction for seniors’ medicalexpenses has been restrictedbased on age and income, butmore people will qualifybecause taxpayers who don’titemize their deductions willbe able to claim it.

Businesses — known aspass-through entitiesbecause their profits aretaxed on the owners’ indi-vidual tax return — wouldpay a lower rate under cer-tain circumstances. TheEarned Income Tax Credit,which benefits low-incomeworkers, would be expanded.

Some Democrats criti-cized the business taxbreaks, which they fear willballoon into an expensivegiveaway to rich people.

Don Amador, founder ofThe Trail PAC, said leaving thedunes open for riding butclosing staging areas and sup-port facilities sends too muchof a mixed message to riders.

I’d rather them leave it

open, but try to find away toallow those facilities to stayopen,” Amador said. “I knowit’s difficult, but I just thinkthis whole thing is a giantcabal.”

He said the shutdown hasalso affected the ability ofriders to get basic informa-tion about the closed stagingareas.

“With the agency shutdown, I can’t call the OregonDunes to find out what’s shutdown because all the officesare shut down,” he said.

SHUTDOWNContinued from Page A1

Last fall, the Reedsport,Myrtle Point and Bandon foot-ball teams combined for a totalof four wins — three coming ingames against each other.

What a difference a yearmakes.

Entering Sunset Conferenceplay Friday night, all threeteams have winning records.Reedsport and Myrtle Point are3-1 and Bandon is 2-1.

It’s probably in part due toscheduling. But it’s also due tohard work, both by players andby coaches.

Simple circumstances sug-gested things should be betterthis fall.

Myrtle Point began its firstpractice of 2012 with fewer thana dozen players, a factor of anawkward coaching transition:One coach left and his replace-ment didn’t work out. The endresult, though, was the Bobcatshiring longtime girls basketballcoach MartyStallard onthe eve ofpractice.

I’ve knownMarty foryears, and waspretty sure ifhe establishedthe programhis way, suc-cess wouldfollow. Heasks a lot ofhis players,instilling asense of discipline.

The players bought in, andthe roster has grown consider-ably — it’s still the smallest ofthe area’s 11-man programs, butmuch better than it had been.

And they are all getting lotsof playing time, since theBobcats had healthy leads intwo of their three wins.

Meanwhile, up the coast atReedsport, the Braves also areenjoying a strong seasondespite injuries that have limit-ed their roster.

Reedsport coach ShaneNelson isn’t new to the programlike Stallard, but he has done agreat job passing on theschool’s pride to the players. Allof Reedsport’s coaches alsoplayed for the Braves, and I gota better sense of the coachingtradition when talking withNelson after his coach, JimAkre, died last month.

Nelson has tried to follow inAkre’s footsteps with the pri-mary goal of teaching the play-ers to be better men.

It’s not a new concept, but itis a good one. If the players takecare of business like they aresupposed to and have a com-mitment to their teammates,success will take care of itself.

The Braves also won threegames last year, but two ofthem came at the hands of theBobcats and Tigers.

As for those Tigers, Bandondidn’t have any wins last year.That was largely due to inexpe-rience, the price the Tigers paidfor having a huge senior classon the team that reached theplayoffs the year before.

Only a handful of theBandon players had any varsityexperience.

Now all the guys who werethrust into action are veterans,and their hard work is paying off.

Like in Myrtle Point andReedsport, Bandon has a headcoach committed to improvingthe players beyond just theirfootball skills. The good news forSilia Polamalu, like his counter-parts with the Bobcats andBraves, is that the message isprobably a little easier to pass onsince the team is winning games.

Things get tougher now.Sunset Conference foes GoldBeach, Coquille and Glideshould be a bit more imposingthan Glendale, Riddle, NorthDouglas, Culver and Chiloquin— the victims of Reedsport,Myrtle Point and Bandon.

The Braves, Bobcats andTigers might all lose Friday.They might suffer a few lossesin the next five weeks.

But I hope they keep thesame attitude that they havehad after their wins inSeptember. At each of theschools, a number of playersstuck it out through long sea-sons last year and have enjoyedthe fruits of thier labor onFriday nights this year.

They have a lot to be proudof.

league foes for the first time since North Benddropped down to the Far West League back in2002. North Bend has rolled to road wins inits first two league games, while Marshfield is1-2 in league play with losses to Douglas and,last week, Siuslaw. The Pirates need a winFriday to guarantee a chance of finishing inthe top three and advancing to the Class 4Aplay-in round. North Bend, meanwhile, needsa victory to keep pace with Siuslaw andDouglas in the race for the league title. ThePirates will need to find success moving theball and avoid turnovers against an oppor-tunistic North Bend team that intercepted sixpasses at Sutherlin last week. The contestalso is the annual Miss Flame game in NorthBend.

They struggled some against SouthUmpqua in the league opener, but dominatedSutherlin and Marshfield. Siuslaw’s defensehas been as impressive as its offense, but willget a test against a Douglas team that also iscapable of putting up a lot of points. Siuslawaverages 40 points a game and Douglas isscoring nearly 34. Siuslaw’s defense has givenup just 68 points in five games, best in the FarWest League and among the better squads forClass 4A. (Seaside has pitched four shutoutsand allowed just 14 points in its five wins,making it best in the state.)

Clatskanie, which is a Class 3Ateam, might be just the recipe for Brookings-Harbor to get its first win of the season.

Gold Beachresponded to its first loss, to Regis, with a pairof dominant wins. And the Panthers are try-ing to win the league title for the fourthstraight year.

Coquille, on the otherhand, is 0-4 after advancing to the playoffsthe past few seasons. The Red Devils havefaced a much tougher schedule, though, andwere impressive holding defending Class 2Astate champion Oakland to just 21 points on amuddy field last Friday. Coquille’s big problemhas been offense, which is a symptom of abeat up offensive line that was missing four ofits original starters last week. The Red Devilsare healthier now, which is good news forsophomore quarterback Zach Breitkreutz.Reedsport has been efficient on offense withquarterback Haden Sams and running backsJoey Herr, Hayden Hinshaw and MatthewRohde, and the Braves are playing in front oftheir home fans.

NORTH BEND — It’s that timeof year again. Civil War time.

Friday night, the Bay Area’soldest and most storied andvicious football rivalry contin-ues when Marshfield travels overto Vic Adams field to take onNorth Bend. Kickoff is set for 7p.m.

The Bulldogs have taken thegame the past three years and thetwo teams are trending in differentdirections. North Bend sits at 4-1with an undefeated 2-0 record inthe Far West League whileMarshfield sits at 1-3 and 1-2 inleague.

Gary Prince has been coachingat North Bend since 2001 but has-n’t lost the Civil War since he tookover as head coach three years ago.His first two years at the reins he’sgone home with bragging rights.But he also remembers what it’slike to be on the losing end ofthings from back when Marshfieldwas at prominence.

“I’ve been on both sides,”Prince said. “It is what it is. It’s abig game for community pride,but it’s just another game on the

schedule. We just have to take careof business.”

While up North they’ve gotMannion vs. Mariota, here in townwe’ll have the quarterback battleof Howerton vs. Lucero.

The Bulldogs’ Cam Lucero hasshown glimpses of brilliancethroughout the year. The junior,who transitioned from wideout toquarterback this season, has

proven to be a dual threat throughthe air and on the ground.

Howerton has more beeninconsistent, but has had flashesshowing he can handle the load. InMarshfield’s win againstBrookings-Harbor, Howertontossed a touchdown and lookedgood leading the offense.Howerton has been sharing timewith sophomore Jake Miles, who isstill healing after hurting his backlast week lifting weights.

“They got some good skillkids,” Prince said. “We’re hopingto match up with the thingsthey’re trying to do and figure outa way to shut those things down.”

Two playmakers who will playa huge role if the Pirates can pullthe upset will be Andrew Sharpa n d A l ex B row n . S h a r p h a sproven to be a special teamssavant, finding any nook and/orcranny to roll off big, game-changing returns as well as play-ing both ways on offense anddefense. Brown is a bruising run-ner who barrels through the linebut shows a pristine ability to cutback inside when sweeping to thesideline.

Civil War showdown is Friday

In addition to being theCivil War, Friday night also isthe annual Miss Flame gameat North Bend as the Bulldogscelebrate their ties with theNorth Bend Fire Department.

During halftime, M issFlame will be crowned fromamong court membersJennifer Coleman, ShalahCollicott, Chelsea Fults andRylie Waddington.

COOS BAY — TheSouthwestern OregonCommunity College volleyballteam wanted to beat UmpquaCommunity College and breastcancer on the same night onWednesday.

They beat one and put a dent inthe other.

The Lakers swept Umpqua 25-19, 25-20, 25-18 for their firstleague win of the season. The winpushes the Lakers to 5-8 overalland 1-2 in league.

Wednesday was SWOCC’s DigPink night to show support forbreast cancer awareness. Thecrowd was flooded in pink T-shirts with some zealous studentsgoing full-hooligan in pink boxinggloves and hot pink short-shorts.

Head coach Stephanie Willett

wishes every crowd could be likeWednesday, but can take solaceknowing the Laker faithful couldcome out in droves for a cause shewholeheartedly believes in.

“The crowd was awesometonight. If it’s like that every game,it would be awesome,” Willettsaid. “It was our Dig Pink nightand everyone was aware of that.It’s good to see everybody in pinkand showing their support. It’salways a good cause to support.”

Alyssa Jones, a setter for theLakers from Anchorage, Alaska,had a stellar night in the middlealong with Briana Gutierrez set-ting their teammates. Guitierrez— who finished with a team high15 assists — and Jones did a greatjob spreading out the ball to thehitters to connect on spikes. Jonesfinished with 14 assists of her ownand set up her teammates afterthe game just as much as when

they were on the court.“We all have our moments, and

it’s a team sport, so you can’t doone thing without the other,”Jones said. “I feel like we playedgreat. We really stuck together.When someone was down wepicked them back up. I feel like weplayed great together as a team.”

Individually, Kara Potts (for-merly Kara Young) finished withthree aces, nine kills and nine digs.Tori Foutz finished with seven killsand three solo blocks while AlyssaSprague contributed 10 digs.

The only moment of adversitythe Lakers faced the entire nightwas when they were already uptwo sets to none. Staring at a 6-8deficit, the Lakers went toe-to-toe with the Riverhawks for about10 points until pulling away for a25-18 set win and the match.

CLEVELAND (AP) — TheTampa Bay Rays’ road show rollson. Next stop: Boston.

Alex Cobb dodged trouble fornearly seven innings and the Rayspitched their way to anothermust-have win on the road, beat-ing the Cleveland Indians 4-0Wednesday night in the AL wild-card game.

“I felt like we’ve done itand been here before,” saidDesmond Jennings, who hit atwo-run double. “The roadwe took to get here was pret-ty tough going to New York,Toronto, playing a game inTexas.”

Cobb’s comeback inAugust from his frighteninginjury helped stabilize theRays, who have spent thepast two weeks winning cru-cial games to reach the post-season for the fourth time insix years.

Cobb pitched out of mas-sive jams in the fourth andfifth, and allowed two run-ners to reach in the seventhbefore turning it over toTampa Bay’s dependablebullpen.

Joel Peralta struck outNick Swisher on three pitch-es, ending Cleveland’s lastreal chance.

Fernando Rodney workeda perfect ninth, striking outLonnie Chisenhall to end it.Rodney dropped to one knee,pointed skyward and soonwas mobbed by all the Rays,who may be a little homesickbut are Boston-bound.

“Go out and play ourgame,” Jennings said. “It’sgoing to be tough anytimeyou play Boston.”

Unfazed by a raucous,red-clad, towel-wavingcrowd of 43,579 that roaredlike a jet engine insideProgressive Field, the Rayshandled the Indians and willnow face their divisionnemesis, the Red Sox, whowent 12-7 against Tampa Baythis season.

David Price set the tonefor the Rays’ postseason runby throwing a complete gameto beat Texas in the wild-cardtiebreaker Monday night,and Cobb picked up wherehis teammate left off. Afterhe was pulled in the seventh,Cobb walked to the dugoutwhere he was first greetedwith a high-five from Price.

“The adrenaline wasgoing pretty fast there in theearly going,” Cobb said.“Once Delmon hit that home

run, I tried to fill up the strikezone. My stuff wasn’t thebest, but I made my defensework. They were awesome.”

There was a time whenCobb wasn’t even sure hewould pitch again this sea-son.

On June 15, he suffered aconcussion when he wasstruck in the right ear by aline drive hit by Kansas City’sEric Hosmer. Cobb was side-lined for 50 games andTuesday he recalled lying onhis sofa and wondering if hewould be able to help theRays contend for a playoffspot.

He didn’t want a repeat of2011, when he couldn’t pitchin the playoffs after undergo-ing surgery to remove a bloodclot in his ribs.

But not only did Cobb go5-1 after his scary moment,the 25-year-old finished 11-3in 22 starts and manager JoeMaddon didn’t hesitate giv-ing him the ball for the win-ner-take-all wild-cardgame.

The Indians went from 94losses a year ago to 92 winsunder first-year managerTerry Francona and won theirlast 10 games to make thepostseason for the first timesince 2007.

But it was one and donefor Cleveland, which didn’tcapitalize on scoring oppor-tunities. The first three hit-ters, Michael Bourn, Swisherand Jason Kipnis, went acombined 0 for 12.

The road-tested Rays,who have traveled 3,627miles since leaving home onSept. 23, took a 3-0 lead inthe fourth on Jennings’ two-run double.

James Loney and EvanLongoria hit one-out singlesbefore Salazar retired BenZobrist on a fly to right,sending Loney to third.Jennings, who recentlymissed time with a ham-string injury, pulled Salazar’spitch past diving a divingChisenhall at third, and bythe time left fielder MichaelBrantley, who had beenshading Jennings towardcenter, ran it down, Loneyand Longoria scored to giveCobb a three-run cushion.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Every step ofthe way in the amazing rookie season ofJordan Spieth brings more than he couldhave imagined.

And then he stepped to the 12th teeWednesday at Muirfield Village.

It got even better.Spieth and Steve Stricker, his part-

ner for the opening session of thePresidents Cup, were already behind inan abbreviated match against TigerWoods and Matt Kuchar, who had madetwo eagles in the tough alternate-shotformat. Woods blasted an 8-iron intothe par 3. Typical of his year, Spiethwasn’t about to be outdone.

He tracked the flight of a smooth 7-iron, watched it bounce short and thendisappear into the cup for a hole-in-onethat sent cheers reverberating acrossthe golf course.

“Everybody’s hands went up, so ourarms went up, and it was really cool,”Spieth said.

Can it get any better?He started the season without status

on any tour. He assured himself a PGA

Tour card in four months. He won theJohn Deere Classic in July. Only one ofthe best shots of the year kept him fromwinning again in August. Playing withPhil Mickelson for the first time, he shot62 in the final round at the TPC Boston,such an impressive display thatMickelson sent a text message toPresidents Cup captain Fred Couplesthat said, “Dude, you’ve got to pick thisguy.”

Couples did, and Spieth made it lookeven better by nearly winning the TourChampionship.

The International team is rallyingaround the energy of seven newcomersto the Presidents Cup. The Americansare getting plenty of that from onerookie — a 20-year-old from Dallas whofirst showed poise on the big stage whenhe was on the fringe of contention at theByron Nelson Championship at age 16.

The next big chance starts todaywhen Spieth makes his debut as theyoungest American ever in thePresidents Cup. He plays with Stricker— at 46, the oldest player on this team —

against Ernie Els and Brendon de Jonge.Spieth had not celebrated his first

birthday when Els won his first majorchampionship.

The two days of practice leading upto the Presidents Cup have been rela-tively calm. Most of the players knowthis course from the Memorial, andmost are still taking it easy after such along stretch to end the 2013 tour season.Leave it to Spieth to deliver the first“wow” moment of the week.

Davis Love III, an assistant toCouples this week, was standing by the12th green when Spieth made his ace.

“Every time I’ve been around him,great things happen,” Love said. “I’vebeen kind of watching him since he wasreal young — like four years ago. He camethrough the junior ranks barely ahead ofmy son, so I’ve always been impressedwith everything he’s done. He says theright thing, does the right thing.”

Perhaps the strongest assessmentcame from Love’s wife when she toldhim, “He just walked in the room like hebelongs.”

Brown also is one of theleaders on defense at line-backer. The significance ofthe game on the communityisn’t lost on him.

“It’s a huge game for thecommunity, “ Brown said,“It’s probably one of thebiggest things that the peopleof the community look for-ward too. It’s one of thosegames that bring a lot of hypeto both schools and town.That’s honestly one of thebest rewards of the game.”

North Bend’s Mason Laird,who was voted defensive MVPof the Far West last season,has been spending more timeon offense toting the ball inthe backfield. Laird, alongwith speedster Zack Hawk,offer what Prince calls their“slasher and a MAC truck”attack that has proven to beeffective in the past twoBulldog wins. That isn’t allPrince has up his sleeve.

“You’ll see some new

things,” Prince said. “Ourfocus is always going to bethat we want to play the gameat the highest level we can nomatter who we’re playing.”

The North Bend offensiveline, anchored by ColinMallory and Zach Wallace,who call themselves “BigUglies,” will try to controlthings up front and givespace for Hawk, Laird andeven Lucero to get into thesecondary.

For Marshfield, it’ll taketheir new spread offensecoming together at the per-fect time along with a coupletimely turnovers to takedown their crosstown rival.

A win here is the type ofthing that could catapult thePirates on top of Bay Areabragging rights.

“We could still have achance to make it to the play-offs,” Brown said. “It’s a bigboost for the rest of the sea-son because it’s clear thatNorth Bend is a good footballteam. And it would feel reallynice to have the footballcrown back at Marshfield."

“It was a slow start for them atthe beginning but they pulled itout,” Willett said.

Adversity didn’t come in spadesfor SWOCC Wednesday, but oneLaker is still playing through someof her own.

Christie McCready had surgeryfor a torn ACL last December and istrying to play through after just ninemonths of rehab. The injury comesjust three years after tearing herother ACL and she said she doesn’tquite feel at 100 percent because ofthe truncated rehab time.

McCready wears a knee bracenow and finished the match with 11kills to go with six digs, but shenever got the hot knife throughbutter kill she looks for.

“I like to hit and have a reallyawesome kill. It happened maybeonce or twice,” McCready said.Continuing her modesty she added,“I did all right. Not my best. I didn’treally feel like I had a good game.”

Even though the Lakers sweptthe Riverhawks, Willett sees plentyof opportunity for the team to getbetter. She said the Lakers couldimprove on serve accuracy andwork out a few “little kinks,”they’re struggling with.

But all-in-all, she said she waspleased to go home with anothernotch in the win column.

“I feel like we did well, butthere’s always room for improve-ment,” Willett said. “Either way, itsan awesome feeling to get that win.”

SWOCC hits the court againwhen it hosts College of theRedwoods next Tuesday.

BY ANNE M. PETERSONThe Associated Press

Taking a cue from Oregon’s suc-cess with the blur offense, a major-ity of the Pac-12 has moved to sometype of hurry-up, no-huddle sys-tem.

Washington and Utah installedup-tempo offenses this season, join-ing the other teams that had alreadyjumped on the bandwagon. Calbrought in new head coach SonnyDykes, whose Bear Raid is peeling offmore than 90 plays per game.

Holdouts still running largelypro-style offenses include OregonState, Stanford and USC — andthere’s no telling where the Trojansare headed now that Lane Kiffin isgone.

The two contrasting styles willbe on display this Saturday nightwhen the No. 15 Huskies visit theNo. 5 Cardinal at Stanford Stadium.

Washington coach SteveSarkisian has seen success going tothe no-huddle this season. TheHuskies (4-0, 1-0) are off to theirbest start since 2001. Washingtonhas not started 5-0 since 1992.

Stanford coach David Shaw hastaken note.

“It’s all about being efficient,”Shaw said. “There are teams thatare doing the hurry-up that are nothaving the same success thatWashington is. Washington’s hav-ing great success, it fits their quar-terback, it fits their personnel.”

The Cardinal (4-0, 2-0) ran aquicker offense when Andrew Luckwas quarterback, Shaw said, butthey’re really sticking with theirown style, which places an empha-sis on tough, physical play. Becauseit works for them.

“I only laugh because it’s not likethis (the hurry-up) was just invent-ed,” he said. “Whereas I rememberMouse Davis’ teams, the K-gunoffense in Buffalo, and watchingWarren Moon down in Houston run-ning fast-paced,no-huddle offenses.So this is not a completely new thing.It’s just a lot more teams are doing it.”

Utah has gone up-tempo undernew co-offensive coordinatorDennis Erickson. Last season, theUtes ranked 73rd nationally with anaverage of 25.9 points and 105thwith an average of 324.42 yards intotal offense per game.

This year, the Utes (3-1, 0-1) are

averaging 42 points per game and504.8 yards in total offense pergame.

“I think it’s going well so far,”Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said.“We obviously made the movebecause we felt it would help us. Wedidn’t snap the ball a whole lot oftimes last year, we were very delib-erate, we huddled up virtually everysnap. When Dennis came on board,the primary reasons for the hire wasto jump-start the offense. He’sdone a very nice job of that, andpart of the jump-start was chang-ing the tempo.

“We don’t go so fast that we sac-

rifice execution. I think that’simportant.”

Along with Dykes introducingthe Bear Raid, new Colorado coachMike MacIntyre has re-built theBuffaloes’ complicated former pro-set attack. Speed is emphasized inpractice for the Buffaloes.

Colorado, which at 2-1 hasalready improved on last season,hosts the league’s speed masters,the No. 2 Oregon Ducks. (4-0, 1-0)on Saturday.

Former coach Chip Kelly hasmoved on to the PhiladelphiaEagles, but the Ducks haven’tchanged under former offensive

coordinator Mark Helfrich.Twenty-six of Oregon’s 31 offen-

sive touchdown drives have takenless than two minutes. Oregon hasscored 50 or more points in fourstraight games for the first time inhistory, yet the team’s time of pos-session ranks 122nd among the FBS-level schools (23:53).

“You might be better off if theyhave the ball a long time. With longerdrives, there’s more chances forturnovers, there’s more possibilities ofmaking them have to do more thirddowns. So, if you come out of it andthey got it 30 minutes you might haveplayed better,” MacIntyre said. “I’mbeing serious because then they’dhave to put drives together and there’dmore times they might turn the ballover. They’ll have more third downs.That’s more long down situationswhere you can kind of go after them.”

Oregon State’s Mike Riley, thePac-12’s longest-tenured coach, isstaying old school and sticking withthe offense he’s always run.

Quarterback Sean Mannion isthriving in the system. Mannionwas the Pac-12 player of the weekfor the second time this season afterhe threw for 414 yards and aschool-record six touchdowns in a44-17 victory last weekend over theBuffaloes. The junior leads thenation with an average of 403.6yards passing a game and is on paceto throw 50 touchdown passes.

“We have examined it for our-selves and messed around with it alittle bit,” Riley said of going to theno-huddle. “Because of what we doand how we play, we just couldn’tmake it fit comfortably with oursystem of calling plays and how wedo it. So, we’re still doing it the old-fashioned way.”

More Pac-12 teams embrace speedy play

California’s Jared Goff throws a pass against Northwestern during a game in September. The Bears run more than 90 plays per game.

BY RALPH D. RUSSOThe Associated Press

As alluring as the holidayseason in New York City canbe, it’s not exactly whatNotre Dame had in mind for apostseason destination.

The Fighting Irish (3-2),out of the rankings after lastweek’s loss to Oklahoma, faceNo. 22 Arizona State onSaturday atthe lavishstadium inArlington,Texas, thatthe DallasCowboys call home.

It is part of Notre Dame’sShamrock Series, what Irishofficials like to call “off-sitegames” that help the programmaintain its national appeal.

Another loss would put areturn to the BowlChampionship Series in seri-ous doubt for the FightingIrish and could leave themwith only third-tier bowloptions when the postseasoninvites go out in December.

After this game, NotreDame’s schedule relents abit. The Irish get their firstweek off before a home gameagainst Southern Californiaon Oct. 19. Hard to predictwhat type of team USC willbring to South Bend, Ind.

Then the Irish play at AirForce, Navy, at Pittsburghand BYU before closing theseason at No. 5 Stanford.

To get an automatic bid tothe BCS, Notre Dame mustfinish in the top eight of thestandings. If the Irish run thetable and finish 10-2, thatshouldn’t be a problem.

Nine wins and a top-14finish would make NotreDame eligible for an at-largeBCS bid. And with NotreDame being Notre Dame,BCS bowl organizers wouldcertainly be tempted to takethe Irish.

But if the BCS isn’t a pos-sibility for the Irish — andassuming they get to six winsand bowl eligibility — NotreDame will be picking throughthe bowl leftovers and hopingfor the best.

The Pinstripe Bowl atYankee Stadium on Dec. 28could grab Notre Dame toreplace a Big 12 team. ThePoinsettia Bowl on Dec. 26has a deal to take Army thisseason if the Cadets (2-3) canget bowl-eligible. If not, thebowl organizers in San Diegocan go shopping for a freeagent, and Notre Dame wouldno doubt be the most com-pelling one on the market.

Buffalo running back Fred Jackson scores a touchdown against Baltimore during the Bills’ win Sunday.

BY BARRY WILNERThe Associated Press

The Browns might be for real. Somight the Bills.

Or neither of them should bebelieved.

Hard to tell, and regardless of theircredentials, Cleveland and Buffalo enterThursday night’s gamewith 2-2 records andoff impressive victo-ries. The Browns beatdivision favoriteCincinnati lastSunday, while the Billsstunned defending Super Bowl champi-on Baltimore.

Cleveland — which got both of itsvictories after trading away its bestoffensive player, running back TrentRichardson — is a 41⁄2-point favorite.Credit a stingy defense that ranks thirdoverall for the Browns’ turnaround.

The Browns are allowing just 2.9yards per carry, a league low.

“No one is going to be able to run onus this year,” linebacker D’Qwell

Jackson said. “As long as we stayhealthy and continue to grind the tapeout and do what we need to do onSunday, I don’t think anyone will beable to run on us.”

Buffalo might not be the best test.Starter C.J. Spiller is battling an ankleproblem and fellow running back FredJackson has a knee injury.

That should be enough to giveCleveland a third straight victory ...BROWNS, 20-17.

ProPicks

PHILADELPHIA (AP) —The Pro Bowl left tackle wascoming back from injury, aswere the solid, versatile vet-eran guard and the young,promising center.

Add in the first-rounddraft pick, the fourth overallselection last April, and aguard with Pro Bowl aspira-tions, and you have the mak-ings of what was supposed tobe a good offensive line.

So what happened?Four weeks into the sea-

son, with their entire offen-sive line intact, thePhiladelphia Eagles haveallowed 14 sacks, third worst

in the league, and have comeunder fire from first-yearhead coach Chip Kelly.

“There’s not one thing,”Kelly said of the team’s pro-tection issues. “And there’snot one answer that it’s this,and if we make this adjust-ment, then we are going to begood.”

The return to health of lefttackle Jason Peters, back froma twice-torn Achilles tendon;guard Todd Herremans, froma foot injury; and center JasonKelce from a torn ACL, wassupposed to make the Eaglesstrong on the line. The addi-tion of first-round pick Lane

Johnson from Oklahoma toman the right tackle spot wassupposed to make them bet-ter.

Instead, the almost alwaysreliable Peters has allowed asack and 14 pressures in fourgames, or just three fewerthan he allowed in all 16 gamesin 2011. Johnson has yieldedfour sacks and 13 pressures inhis first four games.

“It’s quite a change,”Johnson said of going fromcollege to the NFL.“I was talk-ing to Donald Stephenson (hisformer college teammate nowwith Kansas City). He told meyou’re going to get beat at

times. It’s how you do the nextplay. You have to be resilient.”

The Eagles’ 14 sacksallowed have come withMichael Vick at quarterback.Vick’s ability to run hasprobably allowed him toescape at least another threepotential sacks.

“I think when we’rethrowing the football, thereare a lot of elementsinvolved,” Eagles offensivecoordinator Pat Shurmursaid. “The first one startswith protection. I think whenyou look at it, the last twoweeks we played againstsome pretty good fronts.”

Line’s struggles have hurt Philadelphia

Jane Goodall said, “Every individ-ual matters. Every individual has a roleto play. Every individual makes a differ-ence.”

A bridge player might add theword “card” after each “individual.”However, sometimes the role of a par-ticular card may be difficult to discern.

In this deal, South is in fourspades. West leads the club king. Howshould declarer plan the play? What isthe role of South’s heart king?

South opens two clubs, strong,artificial and forcing. His hand is a min-

imum because, when unbalanced,opener will usually have at least ninewinners. This hand has only eight anda half: five spades, two diamonds, oneclub and half a heart. But it is a sensi-ble opening bid. However, when Northraises spades, promising some points,South has to settle for four spades toannounce his minimum. If North has agood hand, he can bid higher.

When dummy tables with thespade ace, declarer has nine tricks.Probably his first thought is that heneeds East to have the heart ace.

Then, after getting todummy with a trump, aheart lead through Eastwould generate a trick forSouth’s king.Here, though, you willnotice that West has theheart ace. What canSouth do?Declarer must realize thatthe heart king is a red her-ring. He should play to ruffa heart on the board,which generates a sev-enth trump trick. He takesthe first trick (otherwise,West might shift to atrump) and plays a heart.When South wins the nexttrick, he leads anotherheart. And in a moment,declarer gains that keyruff.
