Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878 MONDAY, OCTOBER 8...

BY TYLER RICHARDSONThe World

Local music and seafoodhighlighted the seventh annu-al Octoberfish festival at theold school in Charleston onSaturday.

Tuna sizzled on the grill aspeople from across the countylined up to enjoy some niceweather and help raise moneyfor Oregon Coast CommunityAction’s children programs.

“It’s really all about thecommunity,” ORCCA’s Volun-teer and Public RelationsCoordinator Amanda D’Souzasaid of Octoberfish.

“It’s about having fun andsupporting our kids programsso kids can continue to thriveand have a steady education.”

D’Souza said money raisedfrom the festival, whichincluded raffles of donateditems, goes toward ORCCA’s

Great Afternoons, CASA,Head Start and Snack Packprograms.

The idea for Octoberfishcame to Shannon Souza sevenyears ago while she was run-ning trails. Souza said shewanted to get kids in the com-munity to think about art andmusic in a different ways,rather then being an obliga-tion required by their school.Souza said she looked out onthe bay, saw a fishing boat andthought getting the commu-nity together, along with localfisherman, to have an art-themed festival could benefitboth the fleets and children.

“The idea is to get the com-munity to help themselves,”she said. “We wanted to teachthe kids about arts and per-formance in a new way.”

The chase began just before 1a.m. when a North Bend policeofficer attempted to stop a redFord Mustang driving erratical-ly near Sheridan Avenue andWashington Street. After thecar took off onto U.S. Highway101 South, units from CoosCounty Sheriff’s Office, CoosBay Police Department and theOregon State Police joined inthe pursuit.

The car sped west alongCommercial Avenue throughCoos Bay, and then travelednorthwest on Ocean Boulevardinto Empire.

Roseburg man arrested after police chase

BY DANIEL SIMMONS-RITCHIEThe World

With less than three weeks untilballots are mailed, an Indiana grouphas spent $220,000 to support ArtRobinson’s election bid againstDemocrat congressman PeterDeFazio.

On Wednesday, RepublicanSuper PAC Inc spent $109,700 onradio advertisements and $109,700on television commercials in sup-port of Robinson, according to fil-ings with the Federal ElectionCommission.

The spend-up may herald thestart of an aggressive push by out-side groups in the closing weeks ofOregon’s Fourth District race.Before Wednesday, RepublicanSuper PAC Inc. had spent only$29,280 on radio ads in July andAugust in support of Robinson.

Despite the name, RepublicanSuper PAC Inc is an independentgroup with no official ties toRobinson or the Republican Party.The group’s treasurer is James Bopp,an Indiana attorney and anti-abor-tion activist.

Bopp’s group was founded in 2011,and is a byproduct of loosenedrestrictions on campaign spending.While federal candidates are limitedby how much they can accept from asingle donor, the U.S. Supreme Courtruled in 2010 that independentgroups can raise and spend unlimitedamounts on behalf of a candidate.These groups are called “super PACs”.

Robinson’s opponent, PeterDeFazio, has repeatedly criticizedthe rise of super PACs. DeFazio toldThe World in September that theSupreme Court’s decision gave

wealthy Americans free reign tomanipulate elections.

“This is going to be an electionwhich is really an attempt from verynarrow interests to purchaseAmerica,” he said.

DeFazio is well aware of thepower of super PACs. In Robinson’sunsuccessful bid against DeFazio in2010, a New York hedge fund man-ager spent $600,000 on advertisingthat either supported Robinson orattacked DeFazio.

So far this election, RepublicanSuper PAC Inc is the only outsidegroup that has campaigned foreither candidate.

MEDFORD (AP) — The generalcounsel of the Cow Creek Band ofthe Umpqua Tribe says it’s a safebet that another tribe’s effort tobuild a casino in Medford will trig-ger lawsuits.

The Coquille Indian Tribe haspurchased two properties andleased another in Medford. It plansto petition the U.S. InteriorDepartment to place the purchasedland in federal trust, opening theway for a casino.

“If the secretary of the Interiormakes the determination, ‘Yes, you

can place it in trust,’ the next dayyou can expect us and others to filelawsuits,” Cow Creek generalcounsel Wayne Shammel told theMedford Rogue Rotary Club onFriday. “If the secretary of theInterior does not place it in trust,the next day you can expect theCoquilles to file a lawsuit.”

The Coquilles announced lastmonth that they had purchased abowling alley and a former restau-rant in hopes of opening a Medfordcasino along South PacificHighway. The tribe also agreed to

lease Bear Creek Golf Course, adja-cent to the two buildings.

The Coquilles already operate acasino in North Bend, 170 milesnorthwest of Medford. They noted,however, that Jackson County ispart of their service territory, andthe effort to put a casino therewon’t be deterred by the CowCreek.

“Each tribe is going to respondin its own way; our concern is tomove the project forward,”Coquille Indian Tribe spokesmanRay Doering told the Mail Tribune

newspaper.Shammel predicted the

Coquilles will have a tough timewinning approval because of thedistance between Medford andtheir home base. The typical dis-tance limit for a casino has beenabout 50 miles from the main areaof the tribe.

The Cow Creek, Klamath, Siletzand Grand Ronde tribes alsoinclude Jackson County in theirservice areas.

“With all due respect, this is notCoquille territory,” Shammel said.

The Cow Creek would fight theCoquille proposal to protect itsown Seven Feathers Casino inCanyonville, 70 miles north ofMedford but conveniently locatedon Interstate 5.

“Medford is our No. 1 market, sothis is aimed at our economicfuture,” Shammel said. “We under-stand the Coquilles need economicdevelopment. We’re sympathetic... but it’s hard to be too sympa-thetic when you are taking moneyout of our kids’ mouths and puttingit in yours.”

Remember where themoney comes from

This fall’s county elections are uniquesince the tragic deaths of two of our com-missioners means all three positions are upfor election. This presents the opportunityfor a dramatic shift in county government.

From last spring’s primary to the present Ihave believed there is a group of people andorganizations who are intent on takingadvantage of this opportunity to reshapecounty government to their advantage orideology. I recently researched the secretaryof state’s web site, oregonvotes.org, andfound out that this is indeed the case.

There is an organization called “CoosCounty Alliance for Progress” which has andis continuing to provide large amounts ofcampaign contributions to Fred Messerle,John Sweet and Melissa Cribbins. FredMesserle is receiving the major amount ofthis largesse. The major contributors to thisAlliance are Sause Bros. Inc., Working Fam-ilies for Bruce Starr, Oregon ResourcesCorp., the Coquille Indian Tribe and others.

A complete list is available with contribu-tion amounts on the above web site. In addi-tion, some of these same organizations aremaking large individual contributions tothese same three candidates.

I readily admit that these campaign con-tributions are fully legal and that our demo-cratic form of government not only permitsbut encourages this type of activity. I dobelieve, however, that county citizensshould be aware of this political fundraisingand that the three above recipients may beinfluenced, if elected, to make decisions thatare not all in the best interests of the major-ity of Coos County citizens.

The Coos County Alliance for Progress, inits statement of purpose, is also supportiveof the county administrator initiative andopposed to the home rule ballot measure.For me, personally, when I see large sums ofmoney being spent on the campaigns for theabove three candidates and in support of thecounty administrator position, I will takeinto account where it is coming from andvote accordingly.

Stores should letour little dogs in

I was at a local hardware store when a mancame in with a flier that stated his small 6-year-old black and white lhasa/doxie mix doghad been stolen from his car on Saturday whileit was parked at Walmart. He said he and hiswife had left the windows down a little.

I am asking local stores to relax their pol-icy on allowing pets in their stores, especial-ly little ones when there is no shade in theirparking lots. If we left our children in ourcars while we shopped, we would be arrest-ed. My little dogs are cleaner and better-behaved than a lot of people’s children. Ifyou won’t allow pets (especially small ones)in your store, at least plant trees.

My heart goes out to this couple who losttheir beloved pet. Whoever took this little

dog, please return it. If you know someonewho suddenly acquired a dog that is similar,pointedly ask them where they got it.

Who is the ant and whois the grasshopper?

The World’s Sept. 26 editorial was titled,“H idden tax of student loan debt.”Apparently the author believes that weshould feel sorry for students who lived it uproyally while attending college before grad-uating into the “real world.”

I was from a generation that workedpart-time jobs while pursuing a four-yeardegree in engineering. When I graduated, Ihad no debt.

College life need not be all fun and

games. Like much of life, it’s a case of sacri-fice now or pay later. Reminds me of theAesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper.The ant was wise and prepared for theuncertain future.

ROSEBURG NEWS-REGISTER

The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act iswrong for Oregon — and badlywritten to boot.

To be clear, there are strongarguments for the legalization ofmarijuana as part of an overallnational drug policy. But that’s atopic for another day.

Measure 80 would allow adults inOregon to grow and possess mari-juana without interference from thestate. A seven-member OregonCannabis Commission would becreated to regulate the licensing,cultivation, sale and advertising ofOregon cannabis products innational and international markets.Two of the commissioners would beappointed by the governor, with theother five elected by pot growersand processors.

We wonder if the tobaccoindustry knows it could be thiseasy to erase previous tobaccolaws, and elect a commission oftobacco growers and processors tocontrol that plant’s cultivation,licensing and sale all over theworld. Who knew, really?

Overall, Measure 80 is an

unwarranted single-state experi-ment in a country that needs amore realistic national policy onmarijuana. An honest debateshould focus on many aspects ofU.S. drug policy, but in Oregon,Measure 80 should be dead onarrival.

Vote No.

Spray is the way tostop noxious weed

THE BULLETINIn a perfect world, perhaps

pulling invasive weeds by handwould make sense. But whenyou’re dealing with such things asknapweed, as the U.S. Forest Ser-vice is in its current spray programin Central Oregon forests, handpulling is no solution at all.

Thus, despite challenges fromthe Blue Mountains BiodiversityProject, the agency is right to goahead and spray.

Knapweed, one of the targetedweeds, is difficult to pull correctly,and failure to do the job right onlyserves to spread the pest.

Most animals, meanwhile,won’t eat knapweed and the plantitself chokes out native plants theywill eat. It fuels fires, preventsnative plants from germinatingand lessens biodiversity.

Experts say knapweed can becontrolled in small areas — one-quarter acre or less — by handpulling, but the process must berepeated over a period of years tobe successful. Be prepared for thenearly certain damage by fire, lossof native plants and animals, loss

of recreation opportunities and allthe rest.

If healthy forests are the goal,spraying is surely the best option.

Tax code drivesaway the wealthy

THE OREGONIAN

Of all the beneficial changes onemight make to Oregon’s tax code,perhaps none is as vulnerable tosimplistic ideological parry as cut-ting the capital gains tax. Why, theresponse goes, would you evenconsider giving rich guys a taxbreak when teachers across thestate are losing their jobs?

In many cases, capital gains goright back to work, which is to saythey’re poured into businesses,

property or anything else investorsconsider potentially lucrative —emphasis on potentially. Aninvestment that promises to belucrative can turn out to be disas-trous because investing involvesrisk. That’s one reason why capitalgains are often taxed at a lower ratethan regular income.

Why should those who don’thave money to invest value suchtax-code incentives? Becauseother people’s investments allowcompanies to grow, allowing thosebusinesses to hire more people,who, in turn, buy stuff and paytaxes. The more heavily you taxcapital gains, the more expensiveprivate capital becomes for thesmall businesses so many Orego-nians support.

The rates imposed by individualstates matter because people maymove freely. In tax year 2007, forexample, 297 Oregonians withcapital gains income moved toClark County, Wash.

Capital gains rates are only onecomponent of a tax structure thatnudges wealthy Oregonianstoward the border.

Public Forum

We know, you’ve heard this allbefore. But consider these numbers: Morewomen are running for Congress than in anyprevious year — 16 for the Senate and 163 forthe House, according to the Center forAmerican Women and Politics at Rutgers.And this year, women voters almost certain-ly will determine the outcome of the elec-tion.

The latest ABC News/Washington Postpoll in swing states makes this abundantlyclear. In Ohio, Mitt Romney holds a slim leadamong men, but President Obama enjoys a17-point margin among women and aneight-point advantage overall. In Florida,men strongly favor Romney, but women areeven more enthusiastic about Obama, put-ting the president ahead by four points.

Another sign that this is truly the Year ofthe Woman: On a busy day in New York,where he was addressing the United NationsGeneral Assembly, Obama (and his wife,Michelle) made time to tape “The View,” thepopular morning show hosted by fivewomen and watched mainly by stay-at-home moms. He arrived with a basket ofbirthday gifts for co-host Barbara Waltersand proclaimed his role was to provide “eyecandy” for the audience.

Romney was caught on tape at a privatefundraiser saying he’d never do the show

because four of the hostswere “sharp-tongued andnot conservative,” but he’snow agreed to appear nextmonth. Clearly, he was afraidof a rising wimp factor. Co-host Sherri Shepherd got itright when she cracked, “Ifyou can’t handle four sharp-tongued women, how are yougoing to handle the coun-try?”

Women as candidates andas voters are tied together byan important theme — whatwomen want out of politics. Sure, there areplenty of female ideologues on both sides,but on balance, women tend to be morepractical, realistic and conciliatory.

"Women are pretty frustrated with whatthey’re seeing in terms of the way Congressoperates,” Karen Middleton of EmergeAmerica, a group that trains Democraticwomen to run for office, told The New YorkTimes. “We tend to be problem solvers.” Andthere are plenty of problems to solve, start-ing with a dismally dysfunctional legislativeprocess.

The last Year of the Woman occurred 20years ago, when the female caucus in theSenate tripled from two to six. The numbers

have grown since then — 17women now sit in the Sen-ate, 73 in the House — butAmerica still lags far behindmany other countries, rank-ing 78th when it comes tofemale representation in thenational legislature. Thatmakes us tied with Turk-menistan, and that’s notnearly good enough.

This is not a question ofquotas or correctness. Aslegislators, women make adifference. They are far

more likely to identify problems of genderbias, and we know this firsthand. Cokie’smom, Lindy Boggs, served 18 years in Con-gress and authored legislation banning dis-crimination against women in bank lendingpractices. No man would have made thatissue a top priority.

Women are also more likely to work acrossparty lines. One example: Sens. OlympiaSnowe, a Maine Republican, and BarbaraBoxer, a California Democrat, co-sponsoredan airline passenger bill of rights after aseries of torturous flight delays. “Our con-stituents,” explained Boxer, “were gettingstuck on aircraft hour after hour ... with nofood, kids screaming, nightmare scenarios.”

In perhaps the last bastion of bipartisan-ship left on Capitol Hill, the female senatorsfrom both parties gather regularly to sharemeals, stories and concerns. Speakingrecently at the Rotary Club of Kalamazoo,Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenowexplained that these personal connectionsgo “a long way” toward softening partisanhostilities. “I absolutely believe that build-ing relationships and creating trust is criti-cal,” she said, according to the KalamazooGazette.

Women make a difference as voters, too.Since 1980, two trends have emerged:Women vote in greater numbers than men,and women are more likely to back Democ-rats. In 2008, the female vote exceeded themale vote by 10 million, and that gap isalmost certain to expand this year. Obamabarely beat John McCain among men buttrounced him by 13 points among women. In1996, Bill Clinton actually trailed amongmen but was rescued by women, whofavored him by 16 points.

So that’s why Obama is happy to be “eyecandy” on “The View,” and why Romney iswilling to brave “sharp-tongued” question-ing on the same show. This is the Year of theWoman, and both candidates know it.

Woman hesitatesto commit to man

with criminalpast

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: I have beendating a man, “Jerry,” whocommitted a crime years ago.He and a friend participatedin several robberies. Jerry wasunarmed and no one wash u r t ,a l t h o u g hthe victimswere trau-m a t i z e d .Jerry wasc a u g h t ,served timein prisonand hascompletelyr e f o r m e dhis life. Hef i n i s h e dcollege, wasmarried formany years, is a devotedfather to his children andholds an excellent job forwhich he is respected.

Despite the way Jerry haslived his life, I am having ahard time getting over hispast. Although I know he hasdone everything humanlypossible to redeem himself, Ican’t help wondering whatkind of person he is DEEPDOWN. We are starting toget more serious, and hedoesn’t know I’m aware ofhis record. (A mutual friendtold me long before Jerry andI began to date.)

I’m concerned that if mychildren know about what hedid, they will never accepthim. Although I have nevermet someone with whom Ifeel so compatible since mydivorce, I wonder if it’s worthpursuing. — TORN OVERHIS PAST

DDEEAARR TTOORRNN:: Let me helpyou. Jerry is a man who madea very stupid mistake in hisyouth and who has paid for it.But it didn’t stop him fromturning his life around andmaking a success of himself.Many people would respectthat. I know I do.

Because you and Jerry aregetting serious, he shouldhave mentioned his past toyou. The two of you need tohave a heart-to-heart talk. Ifyou are truly worried aboutthe kind of person he is “deepdown,” this is the way to findout. As for your children —once YOU accept him, so willthey if you impress uponthem how hard he hasworked to become the personhe is today.

DDEEAARR AABBBBYY:: I have beengoing to a small communitybuilding near where I live tosing karaoke. I love goingthere because no alcohol isserved, everyone acts likefamily, and I can take my kidsand grandkids. My husbanddoesn’t go because he hasother stress relievers and wehave different interests. Heknows some of the peoplethere and doesn’t mind megoing with my best friend.

I love my husband verymuch. I am not “looking forlove.” However, last monththe DJ’s wife was waiting forme and said she didn’tappreciate my singing withher husband (she nevercomes, either) and told me tostop leaving comments on hisFacebook page.

I tried to explain that Ithought he was my friend,but she wasn’t having it. Shewanted to start trouble andruin what happiness we allhave. I thought about notgoing back, but I love thesinging.

I haven’t done anythingwrong or said anything inap-propriate. My friends atkaraoke want me back, andmy husband says I should go.I have been so down aboutthis. There’s no other placearound where they don’tserve alcohol. Please help me.— INNOCENT AND HURTIN SOUTH CAROLINA

DDEEAARR IINNNNOOCCEENNTT AANNDDHHUURRTT:: Although your rela-tionship with the DJ is inno-cent, it appears he has a trou-bled marriage. If he doesn’tknow about the incident withhis wife, then you should tellhim. The next couple oftimes you visit the commu-nity building to sing, ask yourhusband to please come withyou. And stop leaving mes-sages on the Facebook page.

DEARABBY

BY HANNAH HOFFMANThe Associated Press

SALEM — David Nicholsspent 27 years working in theOregon State Hospital systemfrom 1972-99, never at theSalem campus, but inWilsonville and Portland as aclinical psychologist. His jobwas to talk with patients,learning about their histories,their families, their traumas,their lives. their stories.

“This is what I did for aliving,” he said. “I listened tostories.”

But Nichols is part of astory as well. It’s the story ofthe hospital and of mentalhealth treatment in Oregon.On Saturday, that story wastold more completely thanever, with props, videos,words and re-creations at theOregon State HospitalMuseum of Mental Health,which opened this weekendin the historic KirkbrideBuilding.

A few hundred people,including Nichols, turned outfor the opening. Local offi-cials and politicians werethere for the ribbon-cutting,and Louise Fletcher, whoplayed Nurse Ratched in the1975 film “One Flew Over theCuckoo’s Nest,” turned up, toapplause from the crowd.

The museum is like walk-ing into a picture book that issometimes beautiful andsometimes disturbing.

In one room is the enor-mous silver pot used to makesoup for all the patients, com-plete with three ladles, whosebowls could fit over an adult’shead as easily as a baseballcap.

In another room, one seesthe remnants of the hospital’s

occupational therapy pro-gram. A pedal-powered jig-saw used for making woodenpuzzles sits underneath ablown-up and readableannual inventory of whatpatients had made. Amongthe products: Ice tongs, 2 andironing boards, 3.

Elsewhere, a large paintinghangs on a wall. It is the hos-pital in springtime, all brickand blue skies and greengrass. It becomes hauntingonly when you realize the lit-tle girl in a pink dress who sitson the tree swing at the fore-front of the picture could wellhave been a patient.

“Children as young as 6were sent here,” said KathrynDysart, secretary of the hos-pital board and one of threedesigners for the museum.

“People didn’t understandsomething like autism,” shetold the Statesman Journa.“They just know that if theytouched (these children), theyscreamed. There wasnowhere else to send them.”

The museum includespersonal stories aboutpatients. One of them,Maggie Rodgers, was 10 whenshe came to OSH and 15 whenshe died there of tuberculosis.Her diagnosis: Imbecility.“She’s easily angered anddoes not learn well,” her chartsaid.

And, of course, the muse-um pays homage to Fletcher’sfilm, which was shot at thehospital and started tellingthis story.

Photos from the film-ing, props from the moviea n d q u o te s f ro m c a s t ,d i re c to rs a n d h o s p i ta lpatients who helped withthe movie are all over thewa l l s i n t h e m u s e u m ’s

“Cuckoo’s Nest” section.That story focuses on

Nurse Ratched’s reign of ter-ror over a ward of patients.Their world is turned upsidedown when Jack Nicholson’scharacter, RandleMcMurphy, arrives andencourages the patients torebel against steely, tyranni-cal Ratched. The story endswith McMurphy brain deadafter being given a lobotomy.A fellow patient suffocateshim to end his misery andthen escapes from the wardout the window.

A lobotomy, a procedureto neurologically detach apatient’s frontal lobe fromthe rest of his brain, waspracticed at OSH, and it’s notexcluded from the museum.A surgical table and informa-tion about the practice areincluded in the room dedi-cated to mental health treat-ments.

The hospital hasembraced this chilling aspectof its history, including themovie that shone a light on it,and included it as part of along list of treatments thehospital has used. Some haveworked (medications, shocktherapy), some have back-fired (lobotomies) and someseem goofy today(hydrotherapy, or soakingpeople in bathtubs of varyingtemperatures).

Hospital superintendentGreg Roberts told the crowdon Saturday morning thatunderstanding this history,the story of how mentalhealth treatment haschanged and improved, iscrucial to helping move awayfrom the stigma that mentalhealth issues have tradition-ally suffered under.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — ABritish researcher and aJapanese scientist won theNobel Prize in physiology ormedicine today for discover-ing that ordinary cells of thebody can be reprogrammedinto stem cells, which thencan turn into any kind of tis-sue — a discovery that mayled to new treatments.

Scientists want to build onthe work by John Gurdon andShinya Yamanaka to createreplacement tissues for treat-ing diseases like Parkinson’sand diabetes, and for study-ing the roots of diseases in thelaboratory — without theethical dilemma posed byembryonic stem cells.

In announcing the 8 mil-lion kronor ($1.2 million)award, the Nobel committeeat Stockholm’s KarolinskaInstitute said the discoveryhas “revolutionized ourunderstanding of how cells

and organisms develop.”Gurdon showed in 1962 —

the year Yamanaka was born— that the DNA from spe-cialized cells of frogs, likeskin or intestinal cells, couldbe used to generate new tad-poles. That showed the DNAstill had its ability to drive theformation of all cells of thebody.

At the time, the discoveryhad “no obvious therapeuticbenefit at all,” Gurdon toldreporters in London.

“It was almost 50 yearsbefore the value — the poten-tial value — of that basic sci-entific research comes tolight,” he said.

In 1997, the cloning ofDolly the sheep by other sci-entists showed that the sameprocess Gurdon discovered infrogs would work in mam-mals.

More than 40 years afterGurdon’s discovery, in 2006,

Yamanaka showed that a sur-prisingly simple recipe couldturn mature cells back intoprimitive cells, which in turncould be prodded into differ-ent kinds of mature cells.

Basically, the primitivecells were the equivalent ofembryonic stem cells, whichhad been embroiled in con-troversy because to gethuman embryonic cells,human embryos had to bedestroyed. Yamanaka’smethod provided a way to getsuch primitive cells withoutdestroying embryos.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP)— Army veteran Don Matyjawas getting by alright on thestreets of this city tucked inSouthern California subur-bia until he got ticketed forsmoking in the park. Matyja,who has been homeless sincehe was evicted nearly twoyears ago, had trouble payingthe fine and getting to court— and now a $25 penalty hasballooned to $600.

The ticket is just one ofmyriad new challenges fac-ing Matyja and others livingon the streets in OrangeCounty, where a number ofcities have recently passed

ordinances that ban every-thing from smoking in thepark to sleeping in cars toleaning bikes against trees ina region better known for itsbeaches than its 30,000homeless people.

Cities have long struggledwith how to deal with thehomeless, but the new ordi-nances here echo whathomeless advocates say is arash of regulations nation-wide as municipalities grap-ple with how to addressthose living on their streetswithin the constraints ofever-tightening budgets.The rules may go unnoticed

by most, but the homelesssay they are a thinly veiledattempt to push them out ofone city and into another bycriminalizing the daily activ-ities they cannot avoid.

There’s been a sharpuptick in the past year in thenumber of cities passingordinances against doingthings on public propertysuch as sitting, lying down,sleeping, standing in a publicstreet, loitering, public uri-nation, jaywalking and pan-handling, said Neil Donovan,the executive director of theNational Coalition for theHomeless.

THE FAMILY CIRCUS

HERMANKIT ’N’ CARLYLEMODERATELY CONFUSED

A perfectly orchestratedbackyard party took an uglyturn when the bounce housewas emptied and all 15 littlefriends and twice as manyadults gathered around towatch the 5-year-old open amountain of gifts. That’swh e n t h e b i r t h d ay g i rlmelted into a puddle oftears.

Melissa’s embarrassedparents threatened punish-ment if she didn’t “stopright now!” which onlymade things worse. She ranto her room and slammedthe door.

I ’ ms u re ac h i l dpsychol-o g i s tw o u l dhave hada f i e l dday cit-ing poorp a r e n t -i n gs k i l l s ,h i d d e na n g e r ,d e e p -seated fear or some form ofattention deficit. I saw it asmuch less complicated.Melissa was the victim oftoo many choices. I knowbecause I feel the same waywhen I go into a supermar-ket or try to determinewhich cellphone plan is thebest.

When I have too manychoices, my brain goes intooverload and just stalls out.I cannot make a decision,and all I want to do is to runto my room and slam thedoor!

In his book, “The Paradoxof Choice: Why More IsLess” (Ecco, 2004), authorBarry Schwartz says thatf re e d o m a n d i n d iv i d u a lchoice have a downside. “Ast h e n u m b e r o f c h o i ce sgrows further, the negativesescalate until we becomeoverloaded,” he writes. “Atthis point, choice no longerliberates, but debilitates. Itmight even be said to tyran-nize.”

Recently, I attempted tocount the number of choic-es in the cookie aisle at mylocal supermarket. When Ihit triple digits, I stopped.That makes me crazy! Howcan I expect to make theright choice when I have somany options? Schwartzsays so many choices maybe a sign that commercialcapitalism is bad for us.Several, not hundreds, ofchoices would give us thefreedom to show our indi-viduality without pushingu s i n to t h e m a d d e n i n gdilemma of having to makethe perfect choice.

Thankfully, I’ve discov-ered ways to escape thet y ra n n y o f to o m a n ychoices.

1. I stay away from placesknown for an abundance ofchoice. I depend on expertsto narrow the possibilitiesto a number I can manageeasily.

2. I avoid shopping malls,preferring warehouse clubs.Their buyers narrow mychoices from hundreds tojust one or two. I can dealwith that.

3 . M a n u f a c t u r e r s ’coupons narrow my choicesconsiderably in the grocerystore. I create a list based onitems that are on sale andfor which I have a coupon.My choices are made for melong before I walk throughthe door.

In addition, researchingpublications like ConsumerReports in the quiet of myhome or office helps me tonarrow my choices for avariety of items.

If t hey ’d a s ke d m e , Iwould have suggested thatMelissa’s parents move themountain of gifts to anotherlocation, bringing out justone or two gifts at a time. Orbetter yet, scale the partydown to just a few friends toavoid being overwhelmed bytoo much of a good thing.

“As a new business, we have tried many different media outlets for advertising. We get a better response from The World and theworldlink.com than anything else we do!”

PHOENIX (AP) — Thehead of the U.S. BorderPatrol agents’ union says theagent killed last week in ashooting in southern Ari-zona apparently opened fireon two colleagues thinkingthey were armed smugglersand was killed when theyreturned fire.

The two sets of agentsapproached an area where asensor had been activatedearly Tuesday from differentdirections and encounteredeach other in an area of heavybrush, National BorderPatrol Council presidentGeorge McCubbin said.

Agent N icholas Ivieapparently opened fire firstand wounded one of theother agents but was killed inthe return fire.

“I don’t know what it washe saw or heard that trig-gered this whole event,”McCubbin said. “Unfortu-nately it resulted in his deathand another agent injured.”

Acting Cochise CountySheriff Rod Rothrock con-firmed the scenario but would

not say if Ivie was the first toshoot, saying that was up tothe federal agencies involved.

The new details add to aFBI statement Friday that theshooting appeared to be afriendly fire incident thatinvolved no one but theagents.

Sensors are set up in dif-ferent areas along the U.S.-Mexico border to detectsmugglers or illegal immi-grants, with Border Patrolagents responding whenthey’re set off. The shootingoccurred in a rugged hillyarea about five miles north ofthe border near Bisbee, Ariz.,an area known for illegaltrafficking.

McCubbin and Rothrockboth said the two sets ofagents knew the others wereheading to the area on footbut apparently didn’t knowthey were so close. McCub-bin said he’d been briefed bythe agency, while Rothrock’sagency has been involvedwith the investigation.

“It was dark, very, veryrugged terrain, and what

they could see of each otherwas further obscured by thefact that there was brush andcacti and stuff like thatbetween them,” Rothrocksaid. “I have no doubt thatthese agents were in asheightened a state of alert asyou can get due to the prox-imity to the border and thehistory of trafficking in thatarea.”

Rothrock said that whenthe agents spotted eachother in the dark, “theyapparently took defensivepostures, which was proba-bly interpreted as aggressivepostures. Like readying yourweapons, for example.”

Ivie, 30, died at the scene,and one of the other agentswas wounded but has sincebeen released from the hos-pital.

In the immediate after-math of the shooting, theBorder Patrol and other fed-eral and local agencies flood-ed the area with personnellooking for who theybelieved were assailants whohad attacked the agents.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Anewspaper said Monday thatJoran van der Sloot, a Dutchman who is serving a 28-year-sentence for murderinga young Peruvian woman,has impregnated a womanwhile imprisoned in Lima.

The Dutch newspaper DeTelegraaf cited Van derSloot’s lawyer Maximo Altezas saying the pregnancy ispast its third month, and Vander Sloot himself as havingconfirmed the news in a tele-phone call on Saturday.

The woman, identified bythe paper only as “Leidi,” wassaid to have become pregnantduring an unsupervised visitwith Van der Sloot. It was notclear whether that is allowedor possible under Peruvianprison rules.

Union chief: Border agentsopened fire on each other

LONDON (AP) — ABritish judge on Mondayordered supporters of JulianAssange to pay thousands ofpounds they promised forhis bail because the Wik-iLeaks founder violated theconditions for his release.

The 41-year-old Assangeviolated a condition toreport to a police stationdaily when he sought refugeat the Ecuadorean Embassyin London, where he hasbeen holed up since June 19to avoid extradition to Swe-den to face questioning oversex crimes allegations.

The WikiLeaks founderand his supporters claim thatthe Swedish sex case is partof a Washington-orchestrat-ed plot to make him standtrial in the United States overhis work with WikiLeaks,

which has published thou-sands of secret U.S. diplo-matic cables and other docu-ments. Both Sweden and theU.S. reject that claim.

Former BBC journalistVaughan Smith, who hostedAssange at his countryhouse for more than a yearas the WikiLeaks founderfought extradition, wasamong the nine supporterswho had argued that theyshould not be punished fortrying to “serve the publicinterest” in the case.

But Chief MagistrateHoward Riddle on Mondayordered them to pay 93,500pounds ($150,000) by Nov.6, saying that while heaccepted the supporters hadacted in good faith, they hadfailed in their “basic duty” toensure Assange surrendered.

schools performed Saturday,and kids joined in on drumcircles, and pressed applejuice. While people danced tothe music inside the gym,fisherman Knute Nemeth andhis crew fired up the grill out-side for an all local seafoodfeast.

Nemeth said he gotinvolved with Octoberfish thefirst year as a way to bring thecommunity together and cookgreat local seafood.

“They heard we liked tocook and we were crazy,” hesaid. “We are here to servegood seafood, drink good beerand listen to good music.”

Nemeth said around 160pounds of seafood was pickedup at a local fishery and servedto around 320 people.

“The fish was caught local-ly and will be served locally,”he said.

Nemeth said 40 pounds ofshrimp was donated by theOregon Trawl Commission,30 pounds of fish by the Ore-gon Albacore Commissionand 10 pounds of crab fromthe Oregon Dungeness Com-mission.

The seafood was turnedinto salads, combinationplates and individual plates.Nemeth said the idea of shar-

ing the seafood with the com-munity came from late fisher-man Jim Peterson, who passedaway last year.

“He was everybody’s bestfriend,” Nemeth said of Peter-son.

“A lot of this stems fromhim. I’m glad everybodylocally has been helping out tomake this happen.”

Fisherman Byron Hanks,who helped serve tuna at thefestival, echoed his friend’sthoughts about the impor-tance of Peterson and bringingthe community together.

“That’s why we are here,”he said. “We are the commu-nity.”

Tables were set up to helpbenefit other local programsaround Coos County, likeORCO Arts Youth LeadershipProgram. Char Luther wasselling handcrafted items andT-shirts to help raise moneyfor a leadership building pro-gram at local high schools.

“It’s a great program,” shesaid about Youth Leadership.“This is a great communitycultural event.”

D’Souza said the event wasmade possible by a lot of localdonations and support fromvarious organizations. Shesaid ORCCA hoped to raise afew thousand dollars to bedivided equally among thechildren programs.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2012theworldlink.com/sports n Sports Editor John Gunther n 541-269-1222, ext. 241

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The weeping team owner heldup the game ball and vowed toleave the stadium with it.

Jim Irsay would be taking it toChuck Pagano, who has every-thing to do with the IndianapolisColts’ 30-27 shocker over theGreen Bay Packers on Sunday —even though the head coach wasn’ton hand.

“We know what kind of man wehave down the street, fighting,fighting for his life, and winning thefight,” Irsay said of Pagano, who hasbeen hospitalized with leukemia.“Everyone in here knows how muchthat this means, and this ball isgoing right down the street.”

Rookie quarterback AndrewLuck and veteran receiver ReggieWayne won it with a 4-yardtouchdown pass with 35 secondsleft to complete the Colts’ second-half rally from a 21-3 deficit.Interim coach Bruce Ariansacknowledged he was fightingback tears when he spoke toreporters afterward.

“You guys doing this today,Bruce coming in, all you guyspulling together, Reggie being soclose to Chuck going back for solong,” Irsay told his players.

Wayne finished with 13 recep-tions for a career-high 212 yards —the second-highest total in Coltshistory behind Hall of FamerRaymond Berry in 1957. And he woreorange gloves instead of the tradi-tional pink ones for breast cancerawareness month, because that’sthe color for leukemia patients.

“I just wanted to do something,you know, for Chuck,” Wayneexplained. “I had some equipmentguys make some calls. If they (NFLofficials) fine me, they fine me. Ireally feel like that would be a ter-rible thing to do, but if so, so be it,I’ll go ahead and take the fine anddo it for Chuck.”

They all did it for Chuck onSunday.

Saints 31, Chargers 24: DrewBrees threw for 370 yards andbroke a half-century-old NFLrecord by throwing a touchdownpass in his 48th straight game, andNew Orleans won for the first timethis season with a victory over SanDiego.

Brees’ 40-yard pass to DeveryHenderson eclipsed the mark of 47consecutive games with a touch-down pass set by Johnny Unitasfrom 1956-60. Brees’ also hadthree scoring strikes to MarquesColston, giving him a franchise-record 52 touchdown catches withthe Saints (1-4).

At Brees’ request, the NFLallowed head coach Sean Payton,assistant head coach Joe Vitt andgeneral manager Mickey Loomis —all serving various suspensions inconnection with the NFL’s bountyinvestigation — to attend thegame. Unitas’ son Joe was also inattendance.

“It gave us a good mojo for sure,”Brees said of Payton’s presence. “Ilove my coach, so glad he could behere. Mickey and Joe Vitt as well. Itis special for our team, special theycould be a part of this record.”

Cincinnati’s Bronson Arroyo allowed just one hit while pitching thefirst seven innings of the Reds’ win over San Francisco on Sunday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — BronsonArroyo pitched the Reds back to Ohio onquite a playoff roll.

Arroyo retired his first 14 batters anddelivered a gem a day after 19-gamewinner Johnny Cueto went down with aback injury, and Cincinnati beat the SanFrancisco Giants 9-0 on Sunday nightto head home with a 2-0 NL divisionseries lead.

A pair of Ryans provided the big hits.Ryan Ludwick connected leading off thesecond inning for his first career playoffhomer and Ryan Hanigan hit a two-runsingle in the fourth and a later RBI sin-gle. Jay Bruce added a two-run doubleand Joey Votto had three hits in his firstmultihit postseason game.

“Coming on the road, you thinkabout getting one as a success and vic-tory,” Bruce said. “To be able come hereand get two is very important.”

Former San Francisco skipperDusty Baker came into his old stomp-ing grounds by the bay and left withtwo commanding victories 10 years

after managing the Giants within sixouts of a World Series title beforefalling short.

The Giants were handed their worstplayoff shutout in franchise history.

Game 3 in the best-of-five series isTuesday at Great American Ball Park.Homer Bailey (13-10), who pitched ano-hitter Sept. 28 at Pittsburgh, takesthe mound as the Reds try to close outthe series against Giants right-handerRyan Vogelsong (14-9).

The Reds won their first playoffgame in 17 years by taking Game 1 with-out their ace Saturday night, and nowthey’re going back home looking fortheir own sweep after the Phillies elimi-nated them in a frustrating three-gamefirst round two years ago.

“You’re not comfortable at all untilit’s over,” Baker said. “We’ve been therebefore. It’s hard to take the last breathout of anything.”

The Reds will try for their first post-season sweep since beating the Dodgersin the first round in 1995. Cincinnati got

swept in the NL championship seriesthat year by Atlanta to start whatbecame a seven-game postseason losingstreak before Saturday’s win.

The shaggy-haired Arroyo, theright-hander with that high leg kickslightly resembling the familiar motionof Giants Hall of Famer Juan Marichal,went untouched before Brandon Belt’stwo-out single to the gap in right-cen-ter with two out in the fifth. SanFrancisco didn’t get another hit untilPablo Sandoval lined a double off theright-field arcade with two outs in theninth.

“You hate to get beat like that, espe-cially at home,” Giants manager BruceBochy said. “It happened. We knowwhere we’re at right now. We know ourbacks are to the wall. We have to comeout and be ready to play once we get toCincinnati. I know they know what’s atstake. They’ve done a great job all yearbouncing back.”

MYRTLE POINT — The youngest inductee gave the most emo-tional speech at the Myrtle Point Hall of Fame ceremony onSaturday night.

Kaylie Towne, who graduated in 2004, spoke of growing up intown after her mom died.

“It really was a village raising a child,” she said. “There were a lotof families that helped after my mom passed away.”

Towne was inducted in the school’s fourth class, along with JohnBreuer, Ron Mason, John Franzen, coach Pat Rickard, the 1941 co-state champion football team and the 1982 state champion volley-ball team.

Towne’s accomplishments were many, including earning all-state honors while helping lead the Bobcats to the 2003 state bas-ketball title, setting the school record in the pole vault, competing inthe state cross country meet four years (two when the Bobcats wontrophies) and then becoming an All-American in crew for OregonState University. She also was valedictorian of her graduating classat Myrtle Point and Pac-10 scholar-athlete at OSU.

Towne spoke glowingly of Myrtle Point basketball coach MartyStallard while reflecting back on the championship season, whenthe Bobcats lost to Gold Beach three times before beating thePanthers in the championship game.

Stallard told the team during the season that the fourth gameagainst the Panthers was the one that would matter.

“We made some changes,” she said. “That was a testament to hiscoaching ability and the belief he had in us.”

Towne said Stallard’s impact went beyond the basketball court.“The high standard he held us to set me up for what I was able to

accomplish later in my life,” she said.Towne also spoke fondly of her dad, Pat, who taught her values

and helped her to succeed while raising three daughters as a singlefather. Her love of basketball started in first grade, and he foundtime to take her to the old Maple School twice a week to work onbasketball fundamentals.

She said her dad had a lot of help from many other families rais-ing the three girls.

“I’m very proud to be from here,” she said.That sentiment was repeated often during the ceremony.Breuer, who graduated in 1968, talked about loving Friday nights

as a youngster, when football games were so popular in town.“My dream was to be a stud football player,” he said. “As a 130-

pound freshman fullback, that didn’t happen.”

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Thechampionship contenders saidTalladega Superspeedway wouldbe the wild-card race in the Chasefor the Sprint Cup.

That was an understatement.Talladega delivered yet another

“big one” Sunday, when defend-ing NASCAR champion TonyStewart triggered a 25-car pileupas he tried to protect the lead. Hisbid to block a long line of traffic onthe last lap backfired, and his carwas sent sailing through the air ina chaotic crash that collected 10 ofthe 12 title contenders.

Daytona 500 winner MattKenseth won under caution, andeveryone else was left wonderingwhen NASCAR will do somethingdramatic to alter the dangerousracing at restrictor-plate tracks.

“It’s not safe. It’s not. It’sbloodthirsty,” Dale Earnhardt Jr.said. “If that’s what people want,that’s ridiculous.”

Stewart, who assailed thewreckfests at Talladega with a sar-castic diatribe in May, took fullresponsibility for creating the lat-est carnage.

He had charged to the lead onthe first lap of a two-lap sprint tothe finish, but got too far ahead ofthe pack to hang on to any draftingpartners.

Kenseth was charging on theoutside of him and M ichaelWaltrip was leading a line of trafficon the inside. Stewart was block-ing all over the track, and said hemistakenly chopped across thefront of Waltrip’s car to trigger theaccident.

The contact hooked Stewart tosend him into a spin, and his carlifted into the air and sailed on its

roof and then on its side over sev-eral other cars. It created chaosthrough the pack, which was run-ning three-wide in a frantic dashto the finish.

“I just screwed up. I turneddown and cut across Michael andcrashed the whole field,” Stewartsaid. “It was my fault, blockingand trying to stay where I was at.

“I was trying to win the raceand I was trying to stay ahead ofMatt there and Michael got a greatrun on the bottom and had a bighead of steam, and when I turneddown, I turned across the front ofhis car. Just a mistake on my partbut cost a lot of people a bad day.”

Stewart gamely waved to thecrowd as he climbed from his bat-tered car, while Jimmie Johnsonsat on the ledge of Earnhardt’swindow for a lift back to thegarage. Everywhere they looked,

they saw crumpled cars.Five-time Talladega winner

Earnhardt said enough is enoughwith the carnage. He was creditedwith a 20th-place finish thatdropped him four spots in thestandings to 11th.

“If this was what we did everyweek, I wouldn’t be doing it,” hesaid. “I’ll just put it to you thatway. If this was how we racedevery week, I’d find another job.That’s what the package is doing.It’s really not racing. It’s a littledisappointing. It cost a lot ofmoney right there.

“If this is how we’re going tocontinue to race and nothing isgoing to change, how aboutNASCAR build the cars? It’ll saveus a lot of money.”

Of the 12 Chase drivers, onlyrace winner Kenseth and second-place finisher Jeff Gordon avoided

the final wreck and it pushedGordon up four spots in the stand-ings to sixth with six racesremaining.

But there was little changebeyond that as everyone elseended up with a sub-par finish.

“That was the craziest, craziestfinish I’ve ever experienced atTalladega,” Gordon said. “It wasjust insane. I remember whencoming to Talladega was fun, and Ihaven’t experienced that in a longtime. That was bumper-cars at200 mph. I don’t know anybodywho likes that.”

It took NASCAR more than anhour to sort the final finishingorder. When the results werefinally posted, Kyle Busch wasthird and was followed by DavidRagan and Regan Smith, whograbbed a season-best fifth-placefinish in his final race withFurniture Row Racing.

Chase driver Greg Biffle wassixth, followed by points leaderBrad Keselowski, Travis Kvapil,Ryan Newman and Jeff Burton.

Keselowski considered himselflucky to be leaving with a 14-pointlead over Johnson. Keselowski saidhe was holding on trying to stay inthe bottom lane because he fig-ured that would be his escaperoute when the inevitable accidenthappened.

He was credited with a sev-enth-place finish, but his PenskeRacing team had a photo thatshowed Keselowski on the apronin fourth with the caution lightson — when the field should havebeen frozen. Both owner RogerPenske and team president TimCindric believed the driver wasn’tawarded the proper finish.

Scoreboard

SEATTLE (AP) — One ofthe originals still aroundsince the inaugural 2009season, Brad Evans has wit-nessed many nights when thefans of the Seattle Sounderstop what they’ve donebefore.

Playing before one of thelargest crowds in league his-tory and against a fierce rivalon Sunday night could be thetop.

“You always remembercertain games and get emo-tional with certain games,”Evans said. “ ... Anytime youwalk out and you feel thechills, you know it’s going tobe a special game and youplay off those emotionsbecause that pushes youthrough walls and that’ssomething I thought our guysplayed off the crowd tonightand we won.”

Eddie Johnson scored his14th goal of the season justminutes after an own goalgave Seattle the lead, FredyMontero added another inthe 62nd minute, and theSounders raced pastCascadia rival Portland 3-0before the second largestcrowd for a stand-alone MLSgame in league history.

Johnson’s goal in the 28thminute gave Seattle a 2-0lead and helped the Soundersmove into third-place in theWestern Conference, twopoints clear of fourth-placeLos Angeles. It was a vitalthree points in Seattle’sefforts to avoid having theNo. 4 seed in the MLSWestern Conference playoffsand having to play an extraplayoff game against the No.5 seed with the winner of thatlikely getting San Jose in the

conference semifinals.So while the massive

crowd was impressive andSeattle gave itself a shot atretaining the Cascadia Cup inthe rivalry with Portland andVancouver, picking up threeneeded points in the playoffrace trumped it all.

The official attendance of66,452 was the secondlargest for a stand-alonematch in league history.There’ve been doubleheadersfeaturing internationalfriendlies to go along with aleague match, but in terms ofa match between two MLS

teams, the only one to topwhat Portland and Seattledrew was the first match inleague history when LosAngeles hosted New York atthe Rose Bowl in 1996 infront of 69,255.

Those in attendance forthe latest installment of theCascadia rivalry includedMLS commissioner DonGarber, who jumped on aplane Sunday morning just totake in the atmosphere andwas headed back to New Yorkafter the match on a red-eye.

“I knew this would be ahistoric event as it would leadin to this weekend. ... It’s justanother one of these greatmoments. We’ve been sayingthat a lot lately, but it’s reallytrue,” Garber said.

It was the second-largestcrowd to see a Soundersmatch, behind a friendly

against Manchester United inthe summer of 2011. Seattlecoach Sigi Schmid, who wasfeatured on a large Tifo fromthe Sounders’ supportersbefore the match, was emo-tional trying to describe whatthe setting meant.

“In my imagination ofheaven, this is it. A packedhouse, beating Portland bythree, fans going crazy, itcan’t get better than that,”Schmid said.

Seattle got the benefit ofan own goal from Portland totake the lead when MamadouDanso stepped in front of across intended for Montero inthe 25th minute. Portlandoriginally was charged with asecond own-goal, this one byJack Jewsbury, to give Seattlea 3-0 lead. But that goal waslater changed and given toMontero.

BALTIMORE — CCSabathia, Russell Martin andthe New York Yankeescrashed a party that was 15years in the making.

Martin led off the ninthinning with a tiebreakinghome run off Jim Johnson,Sabathia turned in asparkling pitching perform-ance and the Yankees beatthe Baltimore Orioles 7-2Sunday night in the opener oftheir AL divisional series.

Sabathia allowed two runsand eight hits in 8 2-3 inningsto help the Yankees take theedge off the Orioles’ firsthome playoff game since1997. The husky left-handerwent 0-2 in three startsagainst Baltimore during theregular season, but in thisone he returned to form andimproved his lifetime recordagainst the Orioles to 17-4.

“Fastball command wasgood, worked off that,”Sabathia said. “Throwing theball pretty good getting thecorners. Tried to stay outthere and make some pitches.”

Sabathia is 6-1 with theYankees in the postseason,4-0 in the division series.

With the score 2-all,Martin drove a 2-0 pitchfrom Johnson into the left-field seats. It was the first offour straight hits off Johnson,who led the majors with 51saves. Raul Ibanez and DerekJeter followed with singles,Ichiro Suzuki drove in a runwith a swinging bunt and oneout later, Robinson Cano hit atwo-run double.

In his seven prior appear-ances against New York,Johnson allowed one run inseven innings and had threesaves. Nick Swisher cappedthe five-run ninth with a sac-rifice fly off Tommy Hunter.

“It’s tough. It’s just toughgoing, period,” Orioles man-ager Buck Showalter said.“Jimmy has been great for usall year and will be again.Tonight just wasn’t hisnight.”

Game 2 is tonight.The start of the game was

delayed by rain for 2 hours, 26minutes, and that did noth-ing to lessen the enthusiasmof the 47,841 fans whoendured 14 straight losingseason while waiting for theOrioles to play a postseasongame at Camden Yards.

For eight innings, the sell-out crowd was treated totense duel that typified thecompetition between twodivision foes that split 18games during the regularseason and finished twogames apart in the standings.

Orioles starter JasonHammel allowed two runs,four hits and four walks in 52-3 innings. .

New York missed anexcellent chance to take thelead in the seventh. AfterTroy Patton walked Martinand Ibanez, Darren O’Dayentered and Jeter droppeddown a perfect two-strikesacrifice bunt. With theinfield drawn in, Suzuki hit asharp grounder to secondbaseman Robert Andino,who threw home. MattWieters grabbed the ball onthe short hop and tagged outMartin. O’Day then struckout Alex Rodriguez.

Neither team got a runnerin scoring position againuntil J.J. Hardy started theBaltimore eighth with a dou-ble. He did not advance.

Immediately after Oriolesfans cheered and waved theirorange towels following afirst-pitch strike by Hammel

to open the game, theYankees went to work. Jeterhit a leadoff single andSuzuki followed with an RBIdouble into the gap in left-center. But Suzuki wasthrown out trying to stealthird, and Hammel settleddown by striking outRodriguez and retiring Canoon a broken-bat fly to right.

Sabathia retired the firstsix batters he faced withoutallowing a ball out of theinfield, then ran into troublein the third inning. ChrisDavis led off with a single,Lew Ford singled and bothrunners moved up on a buntbefore Nate McLouthbounced a two-run singleinto right field for a 2-1 lead.

New York promptly tied itin the fourth, but anotherpotential big inning wasshort-circuited when a run-ner was thrown out on thebasepaths. After Hammelwalked two of the first threebatters, Mark Teixeira rippeda liner off the right-fieldscoreboard. The hit broughthome a run, but Teixeira —who only recently returnedfrom a strained left calf —was thrown out at second byDavis.

Tigers 5, Athletics 4:Don Kelly scored the tyingrun on a wild pitch in theeighth inning, then hit abases-loaded sacrifice fly inthe bottom of the ninth thatlifted the Detroit Tigers overthe Oakland Athletics on

Sunday for a 2-0 lead in theirAL playoff series.

Triple Crown winnerM iguel Cabrera doubledtwice for the Tigers, hit a flyball that resulted in a two-run error and later singled inthe ninth.

Detroit will go for a sweepof the division seriesmatchup in Game 3 onTuesday at Oakland.

The T igers overcamethree A’s leads and seesawedto victory. It was 1-all beforea wild final three innings thatincluded a big Oakland mis-play, two game-tying wildpitches and several momen-tum changes.

Nationals 3, Cardinals2: Pinch hitter Tyler Mooreblooped a two-out, two-runsingle in the eighth inning andthe Washington Nationalswon in their postseasondebut, beating the defendingWorld Series champion St.Louis Cardinals on Sunday inan NL playoff opener.

The Nationals overcame awild start by 21-game winnerGio Gonzalez, then watchedtheir bullpen shut down St.Louis in the late innings.Ahead 2-1 in the seventh, theCardinals didn’t score afterloading the bases with noouts.

Yankeeswin withbig finish

REDSFrom Page B1

The 35-year-old Arroyoworked ahead and had fourstraight strikeouts during onestretch to baffle the Giants.

Arroyo’s seven inningsmarked his longest postsea-son outing in five starts and13 appearances — and hecouldn’t have picked a bettermoment to do it.

Cueto threw all of eightpitches in Saturday’s 5-2 win

before leaving with backspasms, and Mat Latos and apatchwork pitching staffhandled the rest.

Baker said he pickedArroyo for Game 2 here inpart because the righty issusceptible to giving uphome runs. And AT&T Parkis “one of the most forgivingballparks in baseball.”

Arroyo thoroughly out-pitched Madison Bumgarnerto beat the Giants for the firsttime since 2008. He had gone0-2 with a 2.42 ERA in fourstarts since facing SanFrancisco this season.

And he took the hard-luckloss in Game 2 against thePhillies in 2010 as the victimof a blown save.

Boy did he give thebullpen a break with thismasterpiece.

“A no-hitter in this typeof environment is nearlyimpossible,” Arroyo said. “Awin for the ballclub is thepinnacle, nirvana.”

Cincinnati beat SanFrancisco’s two best pitcherson their home field. MattCain lost Game 1.

Bumgarner had pitched aone-hitter June 28 againstthe Reds at home, but wasnothing close to that domi-nant this time.

Ludwick, who came in just1 for 16 lifetime againstBumgarner, silenced theorange towel-waving selloutcrowd of 43,505 AT&T Park ina hurry when he sent the firstpitch of the second inningover the center-field wall.

Many of the fans quicklymade for the exits after theReds went ahead 6-0 onBruce’s two-run double inthe eighth.

BOBCATSTwo wrestlingcoaches joinHall of FameFrom Page B1

Instead, Breuer foundgreat success in wrestling,placing third at the statemeet as a senior and helpingthe Bobcats to third in theteam race. He wrestled in theOlympic trials that year andwent on to wrestle for ClarkCollege and Southern OregonState College (now SouthernOregon University) beforebecoming a successfulwrestling and football coachand renowned physical ther-apist on the South Coast.

He thanked his family forallowing him to spend asmuch time coaching as he didwhen his kids were growingup, but saved his biggestthanks for his own mom. Hegrew up on a farm and hismom worked an outside jobto help keep the operationafloat, all while also prepar-ing meals and getting thekids home from practices.

“I think the sacrifice ofmothers with their daughtersand sons in sports in unbe-lievable,” Breuer said. “Itwouldn’t have happened

without you, Mom.”Breuer and Mason were

classmates and teammateswho also ended up wrestlingtogether in college and thencoaching together — Breuersucceeded Mason as headcoach at Coquille and Masonlater returned to coach atMyrtle Point.

Mason, who wore a 1968letterman’s sweater to thebanquet Saturday, was afour-time state qualifier inwrestling for the Bobcats andfinished his high schoolcareer with a 66-7 record.

He said if it wasn’t forwrestling, he wouldn’t havemade it through school.

“I knew if I was going towrestle, I had to have thegrades,” he said.

In turn, wrestlingchanged him.

“I was a zitty little kid,” hesaid. “I was an introvert. Ididn’t talk to anybody.

“What wrestling did forme is it took me out of myshell.”

Franzen, who graduated in1965, excelled in football,basketball and track for theBobcats. He set the schoolrecord in both hurdles races,but had his best success infootball, and earned a schol-arship to Southern OregonState College.

He said he treasured hisdays competing in high

school.“After I left Myrtle Point, I

loved playing for SouthernOregon,” Franzen said. “Iloved putting on the blackand red. The crowds werebigger. The competition wastougher.

“But it never compared toputting on the blue and redfor the Bobcats.”

Franzen went on to have along career in education inNorth Bend, but reflectedfondly on his childhood.

“The nicest thing aboutthis award is it gives me achance to thank Myrtle Pointfor being such a great place togrow up,” he said. “I toldpeople I grew up in Camelot.I wouldn’t trade growing upin Myrtle Point for anything.”

The 1982 volleyball teamwas represented by LyndeeLeibelt, Maeora Barklow, LisaJarman, Julie Sykes andMonique Craven.

Barklow read a letter fromcoach Jodi Hajduk.

“This team’s champi-onship was the beginning ofchange for women’s athlet-ics,” Hajduk wrote, addingthat through volleyball theathletes “gained the confi-dence that they could be suc-cessful in whatever theywanted to do.”

Hajduk also praised theearlier Myrtle Point volley-ball teams.

“It was their example thatpaved the way to winning thestate championship,” shesaid.

Rickard, who died in 1994at the age of 91, coached atMyrtle Point for a decade andwas the leader of the 1941 co-champion football team,which finished with anunbeaten record.

Rickard’s son sent a letterto school officials thankingthem for honoring his fatherand the championship team.

“I remember Dad tellingme how to build good sportsteams,” he wrote. “The realchallenge was finding out

ways for the farm boys toparticipate, because theycouldn’t stay after school topractice.

Rickard worked out anarrangement for them topractice during the schoolday.

Rickard also led MyrtlePoint’s basketball team to thestate tournament.

“My dad was very proudof his time coaching atMyrtle Point High School,”his son wrote.

NEW YORK (AP) — SouthCarolina, Florida and WestVirginia move into the topfive of The Associated Presscollege football poll after aSaturday during which nineTop 25 teams lost.

No. 1 Alabama and No. 2Oregon hold their spots atthe top of the rankings.Alabama is a unanimous No.1 again. The rest of Top 25 gota makeover.

No. 3 South Carolina, off a35-7 victory against Georgia,

moves up three spots. No. 4Florida jumps six after beat-ing LSU 14-6. No. 5 WestVirginia moves up three witha 48-45 victory at Texas.

No. 6 Kansas State, No. 7Notre Dame and No. 8 OhioState also move up. LSUdrops to No. 9 and unbeatenOregon State is No. 10, theBeavers’ top spot since 2001.

The last time nine rankedteams lost in the same weekwas the weekend of Oct. 18,2008.

South Carolina movesup to No. 3 in AP poll

CORVALLIS (AP) — A week afterOregon State relied on its offense for avictory over Arizona, the defensehelped secure the win againstWashington State.

The Beavers improved their record to4-0 (3-0 in the Pac-12) and jumped fourspots in The Associated Press rankingsto No. 10 after a 19-6 win at home overthe Cougars on Saturday.

“Our record says we are perfect rightnow, and I can’t argue with that,” saidOregon State receiver Markus Wheaton.“But we have a lot to work on. As youcan see there are a lot of penalties andmissed assignments.”

There were also turnovers.Sophomore Sean Mannion was 25 of 42for 270 yards, but he threw three inter-ceptions to kill promising drives. Addthat to 11 penalties for 110 yards, and theBeavers were their own worst enemiesat times.

The first half was particularly trying,with Mannion throwing two of his INTsand another drive stalling at theCougars 24 when the Beavers failed toconvert on fourth-and-2. They took atenuous 6-3 lead into halftime.

“I’m really proud of the way ourteam came out in the second half,”Mannion said. “I think that says a lotabout us.”

Led by cornerback Jordan Poyer andhis three interceptions, the defense wassensational, driving Cougars quarter-back Connor Halliday from the gameafter the second drive of the third quar-ter. Beavers defensive end ScottCrichton sacked Halliday’s replace-ment, Jeff Tuel, three times.

The Cougars’ “Air Raid” offenseunder coach Mike Leach was held to 207

yards passing and just 20 yards on theground. Washington State (2-4, 0-3)had five turnovers — four interceptionsand a fumble.

Through wins over Wisconsin,UCLA, Arizona and the Cougars, theBeavers haven’t had both the defenseand offense clicking at the same time.

“We have so much potential to winevery game on our schedule,” Crichtonsaid. “We haven’t played as a wholeteam yet because either the offense ordefense carries us in each game. Oncewe finally play as a team, you guys are infor something great.”

The Beavers are 4-0 for the first timesince 2002. They haven’t started a sea-son 5-0 since 1939. Even the Fiesta Bowlchampions of 2000, who finished 11-1,lost their fifth game.

Oregon State travels to BYU onSaturday. These Cougars (4-2), surviveda scare Friday night against Utah State,narrowly winning the battle for the OldWagon Wheel 6-3. BYU features astingy defense that has held opponentsto under 300 yards of total offense in 12straight games.

To play a truly complete game, theBeavers will have to end that streak. Andwhile OSU is 2-0 on the road this sea-son, having beaten UCLA at the RoseBowl and Arizona in Tucson, LaVellEdwards Stadium — with an elevationof 4,600 feet and a rabid crowd — willlikely be the most inhospitable venuethe Beavers have seen this year.

“Man, I can’t wait to put together afull game,” running back Storm Woodssaid, “and see how good we are.”

EUGENE — MarcusMariota says part of his pro-gression as a young quarter-back is learning how not to dotoo much.

Oregon’s redshirt fresh-man put his faith more in histeammates on Saturdaynight, throwing for 198 yardsand four touchdowns in theNo. 2 Ducks’ 52-21 victoryover No. 23 Washington.

Mariota connected withtight end Colt Lyerla for twotouchdowns, and also foundKeanon Lowe and Josh Huff.Lyerla caught three passes for71 yards, including touch-downs of 10 and 13 yards.

On Washington’s side,Bishop Sankey ran for 104yards and two touchdowns.Quarterback Keith Pricecompleted 19 of 31 passes for145 yards. He threw twointerceptions and was sackedonce.

“We really felt like wecould come in and play withthem,” Washington coachSteve Sarkisian said. “We feltlike we had a plan offensively.But we had a hard time tack-ling the quarterback when hegot out of the pocket. Thatmade things difficult for us.”

De’Anthony Thomasopened the scoring for the

Ducks when he wove his waythrough several defenders fora 16-yard touchdown, set upwhen the Huskies fumbledon a punt return andOregon’s B.J. Kelley recov-ered on the Washington 20.

Mariota found sophomoreLowe with a 21-yard scoringpass before Avery Pattersonscored on a 43-yard inter-ception return. It wasPatterson’s second straightgame with an interceptionreturn for a touchdown andthe Ducks were well on theirway to Chip Kelly’s 40th asOregon’s head coach.
