Four-day schools may stay
CB superintendent
recommends district
‘stay the course’

Coos Bay School Board Chair James Martin listens as Superintendent Dawn Granger
defends her recommendation to retain the district’s four-day week during Monday’s
work session.
COOS BAY — Public schools in
Coos Bay should stay on a four-day
schedule, Superintendent Dawn
Granger said Monday.
The district should retain its
current calendar in order to continue the academic progress it has
made since the schedule’s adop-
tion in 2011, Granger told the
school board during a Monday
night work session. The recommendation is her first formal advocacy regarding calendar changes,
and it sets the stage for a school
board vote next month.
“My recommendation to the
board is completely and solely
based on student achievement,”
Granger said. “I firmly believe the
best course is to stay the course
we’re on.”
Improvements by previously
struggling schools such as Millicoma should be enough to end the
debate, she said.
“Good people can disagree, but
data — student achievement data
— has got to trump anyone’s
beliefs,” she said.
Increases in academic performance within the district during the
past year have been attributed to
the use of Fridays for specialized
professional development. Called
Professional Learning Communities, the Friday work sessions are
intended to be set aside for collaborative strategy, analyzing data and
planning student interventions.

Abuser takes 25-year plea deal
THE WORLD
COQUILLE — A Bandon man will
spend 25 years in prison after accepting a
sex abuse plea deal that will spare his
four victims from testifying at trial.
Steven Ray Perkins, 29, pleaded guilty
to four counts of first-degree sexual
abuse for abusing four girls under the

COOS BAY — Police think the man
whose body was found outside a warehouse Sunday had been dead since
Wednesday, according to Coos County’s
district attorney.
As the suspects in Jesse Hayes’ homicide made their first appearance in court
Monday, The World learned that police
believe Hayes was killed Wednesday
night inside apartment No. 1 at 675 Hemlock Ave. District Attorney Paul Frasier
said Hayes’ body was covered with trash
outside the warehouse for “at least one or
two days” after he was killed.
Frasier declined to comment on
whether Hayes’ body had been kept in the
apartment before that.
Frasier said Gertson, Longhenry and
Hayes frequented apartment No.1, the
residence of a man who is not suspected
to be involved in Hayes’ death.
Frasier said various transients stayed at
the apartment. Kyle Robertson, 26, who
lives next door, agreed. He said alcohol,
drugs and fights were commonplace.
“It’s a constant nuisance,” he said.
“They were constantly arguing.They were
constantly drinking beer and tweaking.”
A 911 caller gave police information
that helped them locate Hayes’ body and
identify Gertson and Longhenry as suspects, Frasier said. After police located
the body around 3 a.m., both men were

WASHINGTON — Who’ll be the first to feel the
sting?
Jobless Americans who have been out of work for
a long time and local governments that are paying
off loans to fix roads and schools are in tough spots
when it comes to the automatic federal budget cuts
that are scheduled to kick in Friday.
About 2 million long-term unemployed people
could see checks now averaging $300 a week
reduced by about $30. There also could be reductions in federal payments that subsidize clean energy, school construction and state and local public
works projects. Low-income Americans seeking
heating assistance or housing or other aid might
encounter longer waits.
Government employees could get furlough
notices as early as next week, though cuts in their
work hours won’t occur until April.
The timing of the “sequester” spending cuts has
real consequences for Americans, but it also has a
political ramifications. How quickly and fiercely the
public feels the cuts could determine whether President Barack Obama and lawmakers seek to replace
them with a different deficit reduction plan.
Eager to put pressure on Republican lawmakers to
accept his blend of targeted cuts and tax
increases Obama has
been highlighting the
impact of the automatic
cuts in grim terms. He
did it again on Monday,
declaring the threat of
the cuts is already
harming the national
The impacts economy.
Republicans say he is

2008 when adjusted for
President Barack Obama inflation. All Obama has
on sequester spending cuts to do to avoid the damage, House Speaker John
Boehner said at the
Capitol, is agree to the GOP’s recommended spending cuts — with no tax increases.
By all accounts, most of the pain of the $85 billion
in spending reductions to this year’s federal budget
would be slow in coming. The dire consequences
that Obama officials say Americans will encounter
— from airport delays and weakened borders to
reduced parks programs and shuttered meatpacking
plants — would unfold over time as furloughs kick in
and agencies begin to adjust to their spending
reductions.
“These impacts will not all be felt on day one,”
Obama acknowledged in a meeting with governors
at the White House on Monday. “But rest assured
the uncertainty is already having an effect.”
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
warned that the federal government would be
unable to “maintain the same level of security at all
places around the country” once the automatic cuts
began to take effect.
The public will feel the results “in the next few
weeks,” she said, and “it will keep growing.”
The majority of the federal budget is in fact
walled off from the cuts. Social Security and veterans’ programs are exempt, and cuts to Medicare are
generally limited to a 2 percent, $10 billion reduction
in payments to hospitals and doctors. Most programs that help the poor, like Medicaid, food
stamps, subsidized school lunches, Pell Grants and
degree sexual abuse and first-degree
attempted sexual abuse.
Frasier said the sentence shows his
office will do everything in its power to
seek justice for sex abuse victims. He
had a stern warning for abusers:
“If you molest young children, we will
do the best we can to make sure you are
held responsible,” he said. “Think
twice.”

Oregon has five jobless
for every job vacancy
SALEM — Oregon’s private employers had approximately 31,230 job vacancies
during fall 2012, according to
a Job Vacancy Survey recently completed by the Oregon
Employment Department.
During the same month
there were 158,600 unemployed Oregonians, or
roughly 5 unemployed people for each vacancy. In the
fall of 2011 there were about
6 unemployed per vacancy.
Nationally there are roughly
three unemployed per
vacancy.
The health care and social
assistance industry accounted
for 22 percent of all vacancies,
more than double the number
reported by any other industry sector. The leisure and
hospitality; management,
administrative, and waste
services; and manufacturing
sectors also had many vacan-

cies. Each accounted for
roughly 10 percent of the
total.
Among occupation groups,
the office and administrative
support occupations (3,874)
and sales and related occupations (3,175) recorded the most
vacancies. Four specific occupations had more than 1,000
vacancies each: heavy and
tractor-trailer truck drivers,
personal care aides, customer
service representatives, and
retail salespersons.
Of Oregon’s 31,230 vacancies in fall 2012:
■ Three-fourths (74 percent) were for full-time positions.
■ Four out of five (82 percent) were for permanent
positions (neither temporary
nor seasonal).
■ Most vacancies (65 percent) required no education
beyond high school.
■ Two-thirds (68 percent)
required previous experience.
■ Two out of five (44 percent) were difficult to fill.
Oregon’s job vacancies
offered an average wage of
$17.92 per hour, although
average wages varied drastically by occupation, education requirement, and experience requirement. Vacancies that did not require education beyond high school
offered an average hourly
wage below $14 per hour,
compared with average
hourly wages of $21.74 per
hour for vacancies requiring
an associate degree, $29.62
per hour for a bachelor’s
degree, and $33.35 for a graduate degree.
Smaller employers, those
with less than 20 employees,
accounted for 39 percent of
all vacancies compared with
25 percent at medium sized
employers (20-99 employees) and 37 percent at large
employers (100+ employees).
Vacancies with large employers offered higher wages,
averaging $19.21 per hour,
compared with about $16.50
for medium sized and small
employers.
The survey captured data
for five sub-state regions:
N o r t h w e s t
Oregon/Willamette Valley;
the Portland Tri-County area;
Southwestern Oregon; Central Oregon; and Eastern Oregon.The Portland Tri-County
area had 14,864 vacancies, 48
percent of the statewide total.
Vacancies in the Portland TriCounty area were more likely
to require education beyond
high school, and offered higher wages on average, at $19.14
per hour. The average wage
exceeded $16.00 per hour in
every region.
The Oregon Job Vacancy
Survey has been conducted
each fall since 2008. The 2012
estimate of 31,230 vacancies
marked an increase from
30,384 vacancies in the fall of
2011, and 29,974 in the fall of
2010. Due to changes in survey methodology, these estimates over time are not
directly comparable.

REEDSPORT — Archaeologist Steve Samuels and
Loon Lake Park Manager
Mike Kelly from the Bureau
of Land Management will
discuss the past and future of
the O. Howard Hinsdale Gardens at the Reedsport Garden
Club’s meeting Tuesday,
March 5.
Through storytelling and
pictures, Samuels will walk
the audience through the
gardens from a time gone by.
Audience members may
share their own stories and
memories, and are encouraged to bring photographs of
the gardens and grounds.
Kelly will update the group
on the revitalization of the
gardens and future planned
improvements. The American Rhododendron Society
and community members
have been an integral part in
identifying plant species at
the garden, and Mike is looking to expand this community involvement. Recently,
local residents have formed
the Friends of the Hinsdale
Garden to give local residents
a forum for sharing their
ideas on how to transition the
gardens and grounds to a
tourist destination and a
place for locals to enjoy.
The meeting will start at
6:30 p.m. at the Presbyterian
Church at 2360 Longwood

Thanks, but no thanks, Senator
Our view
Sen. Ron Wyden’s pursuit of
subsidies for rural counties
may do more harm than good.

A drowning man can’t be
choosy about life preservers, and rural Oregon’s
sinking counties will take
anything Congress wants
to give. Even so, U.S. Sen.
Ron Wyden’s latest words
on timber payments are
disappointing.
Last week, the Oregon
Democrat pledged to renew
federal subsidies for the 18
so-called “O&C” counties,
and to expand them to
other parts of rural
America. His plan would
give county officials some
desperately needed money,
but it’s bad for rural Oregon
in at least four ways.
First, Wyden’s plan
would keep counties on the
dole, perpetual wards of a
fickle Congress. What
counties really need is a
reliable income stream —
the kind they had for many
decades, before the curtailment of logging dried up
timber harvest revenue.
Second, dangling the
uncertain promise of a federal bailout could torpedo
counties that ask voters for
property tax increases.
Third, subsidizing county budgets does virtually
nothing to strengthen local
economies. Worse, it
diverts attention from the
more important goal: a
timber policy that allows a
rational, sustainable timber
harvest, boosting rural
communities while generating revenue for counties.
Finally, Wyden’s proposal
to expandthe subsides
undermines Oregon’s legitimate claim on the federal
government. Sure, lots of
rural areas are hurting. But
the O&C counties (including Coos and Curry) have a
special distinction.
Decades ago, when the
federal government took
back lands formerly set
aside for the Oregon &
California Railroad, it
promised to share timber
revenue with the counties,
to compensate for property
taxes they never again
could collect. That
arrangement yielded revenue for counties as well as
forest-products jobs to
sustain communities.
By lumping the O&C
counties into a broader
program of federal handouts to rural counties,
Wyden undermines efforts
by others in Oregon’s congressional delegation to
increase timber harvest on
O&C lands. Yes, counties
need revenue. But swapping rural Oregon’s
birthright for uncertain
federal handouts helps perpetuate rural poverty.
Here comes yet another GOP-manufactured crisis
If you are reading this, then it’s
likely you’re one of the 27 percent
of the American people who told
Pew Research that they’ve heard “a
lot” about “sequester” — the term
most Washington politicians
probably never want to hear for the
rest of their careers.
Barely more than one-quarter of
Americans are aware that our
economy will
soon
suffer
another congressionally manufactured crisis.
After the last one,
President Obama
said, “Our economy didn’t need
Washington to
DONNA
come along with
a manufactured
BRAZILE
crisis to make
Columnist
things worse.
That was in our
hands.”
With so few voters aware of the
sequester — and probably even
fewer knowing much about it — no
wonder Republicans in Congress
have little motive to responsibly
address the national debt. And the
gerrymandering of House districts, creating large numbers of
Republican-safe or Democraticsafe seats, exacerbates the ideological divide. Simply put, there’s
no incentive for House members to
compromise, listen to national
public opinion or take responsibility for what they do — or don’t do.
Their seats are safe.
Republican leaders like Mitch
McConnell, John Boehner, and
their political strategists manufactured this impasse back in August
2011. At the time, the president
proposed the sequester as a lastditch effort to avoid a manufactured crisis over the debt ceiling.
McConnell called it “a crucial step
on the road to fiscal sanity,” and
Boehner persuaded the Republican-dominated House to vote for
it.
In political-speak, a sequester is a
deal designed to force Congress to
agree — i.e., compromise — on a
budget,because if it doesn’t,drastic,
paralyzing, unthinkable cuts automatically go into effect.
So a majority of Republicans in
both the Senate and the House voted
for sequester — and then merrily
refused to make any compromises.
They played political chicken with
the American economy.
John Boehner boasted, “I got 98
percent of what I wanted.” Later
Boehner lamented that he hadn’t
held out for more concessions.
The idea of sequester (drastic
cuts to force compromise), according to Business Insider, was “a
brilliant idea and Obama should be
proud of it.” Proud of it because it
would force compromise, not
because it would allow the Republicans to filibuster and obstruct us
into another manufactured crisis.
Boehner urged Republican representatives to vote for sequester by
saying that if they held firm on no
taxes, the Democrats wouldn’t
dare risk cuts to domestic programs. The Republicans would
once again save the wealthy from
paying more taxes than their
cleaning woman.
Republicans decided on this
strategy months ago. It’s why
McConnell and Boehner voted for
a very modest raise on taxes on the
wealthy last December. It would
allow them to say, “We already did
that; not again.” That strategy
explains why the House went on a
10-day vacation at Boehner’s
direction, rather than debate and
work out a compromise.
That strategy also explains why,
though they voted and pushed
sequester, Boehner and McConnell
now say, “Don’t blame us; this was
all the president’s idea. We compromised once. Now it’s all cuts —
our way.” So, while Curiosity is
collecting rock samples on Mars,
China is hacking our computers
and our infrastructure is crumbling, congressional Republicans
won’t address deficit reduction
rationally.
Spending cuts alone will slow
economic growth and keep unemployment high. Who gets hurt?
The poor, the elderly, the working
and the middle classes. Who benefits? Guess.
Boehner, while on vacation,
wrote a column for The Wall Street
Journal in which he says the
majority of American people
wants cuts, not taxes. Wrong. The
latest nonpartisan Pew Research
poll reveals that only 19 percent of
the American people want strictly
cuts. Seventy-four percent want
both cuts and taxes.
In five years, Obama both proposed and consented to a total of
$1.7 trillion in cuts, and just one
modest raise in taxes on the
wealthy. We have had five years of
tax cuts to domestic programs. In
five long years, we have had but
one raise in taxes — a modest raise
on the 1 percent whose tax-cut
benefits allow them to take home
nearly one-third of America’s total
national income.
What do Boehner and
McConnell propose we do? They
want to cut Social Security payments. They want Grandma and
Grandpa, who paid into Social
Security all their working lives, to
take a cut in the $500 to $1,500
monthly income they get to live on.
If it weren’t for McDonald’s dollar
menu, there would be a hunger crisis among our nation’s elderly.
But thanks to Boehner and
McConnell’s risky political strategy, the country is about to go
through another manufactured
crisis simply to avoid a vote to
close corporate loopholes that
benefit a select few.

Budget hawks question doomsday scenarios
There’s no doubt President Obama is using the socalled Washington Monument maneuver in the fight
with Republicans over
sequestration budget cuts.
It’s a time-honored tactic of
bureaucratic warfare: When
faced with cuts, pick the
b e s t known and
m o s t
revered
symbol of
government and
threaten to
shut
it
d o w n .
BYRON
Close the
Washing- YORK
ton Monu- Columnist
ment and
say, “See? This is what happens when you cut the budget.”
Meanwhile, all sorts of
other eminently cuttable
government expenditures go
untouched.
So now Obama is warning
of drastic cuts in food safety,
air traffic control, police and
fire protection — in all sorts
of services that will allegedly
be slashed if the rate of
growth of some parts of the
federal budget is slowed.
But perhaps the biggest
example of the Washington
Monument maneuver is
coming from the Defense
Department, where it goes
by another name. Over many
decades of defense budget
battles, the Pentagon has
often used a tactic known as
a “gold watch.” It means to
answer a budget cut propos-
al by selecting for elimination a program so important
and valued — a gold watch —
that Pentagon chiefs know
political leaders will restore
funding rather than go
through with the cut.
So now, with sequestration approaching, the Pentagon has announced that the
possibility of budget cuts has
forced the Navy to delay
deployment of the carrier
USS Harry S. Truman to the
Persian Gulf. With tensions
with Iran as high as they’ve
ever been, that would leave
the U.S. with just one carrier,
instead of the preferred two,
in that deeply troubled
region.
“Already, the threat of
these cuts has forced the
Navy to delay an aircraft carrier that was supposed to
deploy to the Persian Gulf,”
Obama said at a recent
White House appearance, in
case anyone missed the
news.
Some military analysts
were immediately suspicious. “A total gold watch,”
said one retired general officer who asked not to be
named. Military commentator and retired Army Lt. Col.
Ralph Peters called the
Navy’s move “ostentatious,”
comparing it to “Donald
Trump claiming he can’t
afford a cab.”
And Rep. Duncan Hunter,
R-Calif., a Marine veteran of
Iraq and Afghanistan, is worried not only about the Truman decision but also the
Navy’s announcement that it
cannot afford to refuel anoth-
er carrier, the USS Abraham
Lincoln. “I am concerned
that these decisions are being
made for the purpose of
adding drama to the sequestration debate,” Hunter wrote
in a Feb. 12 letter to the Pentagon, “given the continuation
of other programs that are
worthy of cost-cuts or even
elimination.”
Meanwhile, with a budget
higher than it was even at the
peak of the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars, the Pentagon is resisting attempts to
force it to audit its own
finances. Congress passed a
law back in 1990 requiring
such an audit, to no avail.
Last year, Sens. Tom
Coburn, R-Okla., and Joe
Manchin, D-W.Va., introduced the Audit the Pentagon Act, which would try
again to force a look inside
the maze of Pentagon
spending.
Now, with the Defense
Department sounding the
alarm about sequestration,
some budget hawks on Capitol Hill are doubtful. “It’s
difficult to take these
doomsday scenarios seriously when the Pentagon
can’t even audit its own
books,” says a spokesman for
Coburn. “We would argue
that the Defense Department has the authority to
reprioritize funding toward
vital needs and away from
less vital spending. As Sen.
Coburn has detailed, the
department spends nearly
$70 billion each year on
‘nondefense’
defense
spending that has nothing to
do with our national security.”
If the sequestration cuts
go into effect, many members of Congress will be
watching the Pentagon
closely. Hunter, for example,
will monitor the Navy’s
“Green Fleet” biofuel initiative that cost $170 million in
2012-2013, as well as a troubled battlefield software system that has cost $28 billion.
Others will be watching for
conventional waste. When
sequestration came, what
did Pentagon leaders cut?
“If you laid off these people, or you diverted this aircraft carrier, then why did
you go ahead and travel to a
conference in Bermuda or
continue to pay contractors’
inflated salaries?” says one
Senate aide. “Those are the
questions we are going to
ask.”
All the lawmakers
involved would rather see
more carefully considered
budget cuts than are called
for in the sequestration law.
And all realize the unique
and respected nature of the
Defense Department’s mission; one visit to Arlington
National Cemetery proves
that.
But budget hawks also
know that the Pentagon
houses some of the most
accomplished bureaucratic
infighters in government.
And with sequestration
nearly here, they know a gold
watch when they see one.

Husband’s
new attitude
wears thin on
wife at home
D E A R A B B Y : “Harold”
and I have been married for
more than 20 years and have
three children ranging in age
from teen to toddler. We are
both college graduates and
held middle-management
jobs until
recently.
DEAR
T w o
years ago,
Harold was
offered a
temporary
job in an
exotic location
in
another
country. We
jumped at
JEANNE
chance.
PHILLIPS the
I can’t work
due to the
regulations here, but the
money is good.
Now that I’m not working,
Harold suddenly believes he
has the right to tell me what
to do, how to manage daily
activities, how to care for the
children, etc. When we
explore our host country, he
loses his temper if I take a
photo of something he has
already photographed.
At Halloween, we invited
some local friends over to
share the American tradition
of pumpkin carving. He literally took the knife out of my
hand and shouldered me out
of the way so he could do it.
In previous years, he had no
interest in this activity — the
children and I carved the
pumpkins.
These are just two examples, but the scrutiny is daily
and relentless. I am instructed how to do the laundry,
wash dishes, clean the stove,
on and on.
How do I deal with this
new controlling behavior? If
I address it when it happens,
he becomes nasty. I have
tried discussing his overall
change in attitude, but he
says I am “imagining” it. If I
ignore his “suggestions,” it
results in angry outbursts.
I don’t know how to get
through to him that I’m the
same competent individual I
was before we made this
change and that I do not need
micromanaging. Any advice
is welcome. — JUST ABOUT
HAD IT
DEAR JUST ABOUT HAD
IT: Your husband may be
stressed in his new job and no
longer feel in control, which
is why he is attempting to
control you. Or, because he is
now the sole wage earner, he
may feel “entitled” to dictate
your every move. If you are
now living in a male-dominated culture where women
have no rights, his thinking
may be influenced by the
men around him.
If marriage counseling is
available, I urge you to get
some. If that’s not possible,
perhaps a long vacation for
you and the children with
your family would defuse the
tension.
D E A R A B B Y : My son
recently committed suicide.
He was only 24. Two weeks
before his death, he confided
to a family member that he
had been molested by his
uncle when he was between
the ages of 4 and 7.
I want this uncle to be
exposed, but the family
wants to keep it “quiet and in
the family.” I am very much
of the opinion that this
molestation could be behind
my son’s suicide. The uncle is
now in his 30s and would
have been in his teens when
this happened. Please tell me
what I should do. — SUFFERING IN OHIO
DEAR
SU FFE RING:
Because you are suffering, it
is important that you talk
with a therapist if you
haven’t already. While early
trauma may have played a
part in your son’s death, suicide is a complex act that is
not completely understood.
What IS clear is that what
this uncle did while in his
teens was predatory.
Others in the family — and
the community — should be
made aware so their children
can be protected, because
they may be at risk.
The therapist can help you
decide how to deal with this,
so please don’t wait.

Oregon House approves

Emergency workers examine the wreckage after a truck hauling jet fuel overturned on railroad tracks and
then was struck by a train Monday, Feb. 25, near Umatilla. The truck driver escaped with minor injuries and
no environmental damage was reported.
Ore. gun control bill
sponsor says it’s flawed
STATE
PORTLAND (AP) — Even
an Oregon state legislator
who is the chief sponsor of a
bill to ban many semi-automatic firearms and highcapacity ammunition magazines says the measure is
“pretty flawed” in its current
form.
Democratic Rep. Mitch
Greenlick of Portland says he
doesn’t think House Bill
3200 “is in play.”
Greenlick tells The
Oregonian that the bill as
introduced goes too far in
not only banning the sale of
such weapons but in limiting
each gun owner to continued
possession of just one of the
firearms.
He says he also disagrees
with a provision that would
allow state police to investigate gun owners who possess
one of the weapons to make
sure the guns are safely
stored.
Train hits truck
hauling jet fuel
UMATILLA (AP) —
Oregon State Police say a
truck hauling 10,000 gallons
of jet fuel overturned onto
D I G E S T
railroad tracks in northeastern Oregon, where the truck
cab and a cargo tanker were
hit by a train. The truck driver escaped with minor
injuries and no environmental damage was reported.
Trooper Jerrad Little says
a truck driven by 72-year-old
Richard James of San
Antonio, Texas, ran off U.S.
Highway 730 on Monday
morning in the Umatilla area.
The truck and its tankers
went down an embankment
and overturned, with the
truck cab ending up on Union
Pacific tracks.
Twin guards accused of
impersonating police
MEDFORD (AP) — Twin
brothers who co-own a
Medford security business
have been accused of impersonating police.
Medford police say 29year-old Jason Lee Libby and
his brother Donald were
arrested late last week in
connection with January
incidents.
Police say Jason Libby
handcuffed a man who used
the bathroom but did not
bring any clothes to the
laundry business Libby was
hired to watch.
The following day, police
say, an officer found Donald
Libby performing field
sobriety tests on a teen driver. Libby wore a uniform and
had been driving an
unmarked Ford Crown
Victoria with a spotlight.

SALEM — Efforts to
replace a bridge connecting
Portland with Vancouver,
Wash., are headed toward
speed bumps in the form of a
familiar point of contention
in the area — light rail.
A $3.4 billion plan to add
lanes to the perpetually bottlenecked span over
Interstate 5 sailed through
the Oregon House on
Monday, and the proposal,
which Gov. John Kitzhaber
supports, could clear the
state Senate next week.
It
will
then
be
Washington state’s turn to
decide whether fund its
share of the project, and
political leaders in the area
are divided.
“It would be a disaster for
our county,” said David
Madore, a commissioner in
Clark County, which
includes Vancouver.
Madore’s opposition centers on a plan to expand light
rail service with the bridge.
Madore says he supports an
expanded vehicle bridge, but
considers light rail a waste of
money that could be better
spent on roads and highways. He fears the metro
Portland transit agency,
TriMet, is trying to expand
its tax base into Washington
state.
“Clark County is not to be
a parking lot for Portland or a
bedroom community for
Portland,” he said. “Clark
County is not Portland, and
we’d like to be able to keep
Clark County, Clark County.”
Vancouver voters have
signaled opposition to the
light rail expansion plan as
well, rejecting a new sales tax
to help pay for such a project
in November.
Light rail supporters,
however, say that component is necessary to get fed-
eral transit funds for the
project. Three Democratic
lawmakers from Vancouver
wrote Washington Gov. Jay
Inslee earlier this month
backing the construction
project, including light rail.
Opposition to the project
goes beyond light rail. Critics
of government spending
question the cost of the project and neighborhood groups
worry about the impact of
pollution and congestion at
other chokepoints on
Interstate 5.
Still, there are powerful
supporters, including the
governors of Oregon and
Washington and the mayor
of Vancouver. Business
groups are eager to speed the
flow of freight through the I5 corridor. And unions are
looking forward to thousands of construction jobs.
“We’ve all got a responsibility to help future generations, our children, their
children, just as we are benefiting from the infrastructure
investments” made by earlier generations, said
Democratic Rep. Tobias Read
of Beaverton, one of the project’s chief proponents. “We
are coasting, in many ways,
on the fumes of the investments that they made.”
The existing bridges are a
chokepoint for traffic on I-5
and are vulnerable to damage
in a major earthquake.
Severe traffic snarls are
common when a section is
lifted to allow tall river traffic
to pass.
The $3.4 billion project
would include two new double-decker bridges with five
travel lanes in each direction
— up from three — and space
for pedestrians, bicyclists
and light-rail trains.
Oregon and Washington
are each responsible for $450
million, with the federal government and toll revenue
paying the rest.

Mediterranean-style diets

Former
surgeon
general
dies
NEW YORK (AP) — Dr. C.
Everett Koop has long been
regarded as the nation’s doctor— even though it has been
nearly a quarter-century
since he was surgeon general.
Koop, who died Monday at
his home in Hanover, N.H., at
age 96, was by far the best
known and most influential
person to carry that title.
Koop, a 6-foot-1 evangelical
Presbyterian with a biblical
prophet’s beard, donned a
public health uniform in the
early 1980s and became an
enduring, science-based
national spokesman on
health issues.
He served for eight years
during the Reagan administration and was a breed apart from
his political bosses. He thundered about the evils of tobacco companies during a multiyear campaign to drive down
smoking rates, and he became
the government’s spokesman
on AIDS when it was still considered a “gay disease” by
much of the public.
Even before that, he had
been a leading figure in medicine. He
was one of
the first U.S.
doctors to
specialize in
pediatric
surgery at a
time when

conditions
were often
simply written off as
untreatable. In the 1950s, he
drew national headlines for
innovative surgeries such as
separating conjoined twins.
His medical heroics are
well noted, but he may be
better remembered for transforming from a pariah in the
eyes of the public health
community into a remarkable
servant who elevated the
influence of the surgeon general — if only temporarily.
“He set the bar high for all
who followed in his footsteps,” said Dr. Richard Carmona, who served as surgeon
general a decade later under
President George W. Bush.
Koop’s religious beliefs
grew after the 1968 death of
his son David in a mountainclimbing accident, and he
became an outspoken opponent of abortion. His
activism is what brought him
to the attention of the
administration of President
Ronald Reagan, who decided
to nominate him for surgeon
general in 1981. Though once
a position with real power,
surgeon generals had been
stripped of most of their
responsibilities in the 1960s.
He surprised the officials
who had appointed him by
setting aside his religious
beliefs and feelings about
abortion and instead waging
a series of science-based
public health crusades.
He was arguably most
effective on smoking.

Second winter
storm blasts
central U.S.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
— The second major snowstorm in a week battered
the nation’s midsection
today, dropping a half-foot
or more of snow across
Missouri and Kansas and
cutting power to thousands. At least three deaths
were blamed on the blizzard, and gusting winds
blew drifts more than 2 feet
high and created treacherous driving conditions for
those who dared the morning commute.
About 80,000 homes
and businesses in northwest Missouri, northeast
Kansas and western Oklahoma awoke to no power
as heavy, wet snow
weighed on power lines.
Kansas City, Mo., was in a
state of emergency as
blinding snowfall — worsened by sustained gusts
estimated at 30 mph or
higher — made road traffic
too dangerous. About 8
inches of new snow had
fallen on parts of the
Kansas City metro area as
the sun rose today.
Flights in and out of
Kansas City International
Airport were canceled,
schools, government
offices and businesses
across the region were
closed. City buses were
getting stuck.
Numerous accidents
were reported in the area,
and Mayor Sly James
declared the emergency in
an unwanted encore to a
major snowstorm that
dumped nearly a foot of
snow on his city just five
days earlier. He urged residents to stay home, given
that the new storm was
expected to dump nearly a
foot of new snow on the
city.
“This one has the
potential to be quite serious,” James said.
In rural Kansas, blowing,
wet snow forced truckers
off the road and many had
no idea when they’d be able
to get going again. Robert
Branscecum, a trucker from
Campton, Ill., hauling WalMart merchandise to Dallas,
had been stuck at Beto
Junction near Lebo since
Monday evening.
“It’s hell,it’s straight hell.
It’s snowing,blowing,drifting, everything,” Branscecum said. “The cars are
stuck in the parking lot.
Some of the trucks that
tried to leave got stuck. I’m
not leaving anytime soon.”
A strong low pressure
system fueled the storm,
which also included heavy
rain and thunderstorms in
eastern Oklahoma and
Texas.
The storm knocked
power out to tens of thousands of homes in Texas
and Oklahoma and was
blamed for the death of a
21-year-old man whose
SUV hit an icy patch on
Interstate 70 in northwestern Kansas and overturned
Monday. A separate crash
on I-70 in western Kansas
killed a female passenger
and injured three others
after their pickup truck
rolled on the ice Monday
night. In Oklahoma, a person was killed after 15 inches of snow brought down
part of a roof in the northwest town of Woodward.
In the Texas Panhandle
on Monday, strong wind
gusts and heavy snow created whiteout conditions
and made all roads
impassable.

Mediterranean diets have
long been touted as hearthealthy, but that’s based on
observational studies that
can’t prove the point. The
new research is much
stronger because people
were assigned diets to follow
for a long time and carefully
monitored. Doctors even did
lab tests to verify that the
Mediterranean diet folks
were consuming more olive
oil or nuts as recommended.
Most of these people were
taking medicines for high
cholesterol and blood pressure, and researchers did not
alter those proven treat-
ments, said one study leader,
Dr. Ramon Estruch of Hospital Clinic in Barcelona.
But as a first step to prevent
heart problems,“we think diet
is better than a drug” because
it has few if any side effects,
Estruch said. “Diet works.”
Results were published
online Monday by the New
England Journal of Medicine.
People in the study were not
given rigid menus or calorie
goals because weight loss was
not the aim.That could be why
they found the “diets” easy to
stick with — only about 7 percent dropped out within two
years. There were twice as
many dropouts in the low-fat
group than among those eating Mediterranean-style.
N.Y. wife: Officer wanted
to kill me, eat others
BY LARRY NEUMEISTER
AND TOM HAYS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The
estranged wife of a police
officer struggled to keep her
composure Monday as she
testified about discovering
shocking online chats and
other evidence on his computer showing he had discussed killing her and
abducting, torturing and
eating other women.
“I was going to be tied up
by my feet and my throat slit,
and they would have fun
watching the blood gush out
of me because I was young,”
Kathleen Mangan-Valle told
a Manhattan jury that one
chat revealed.
Mangan-Valle, 27, also
read about plans to put one
friend in a suitcase, wheel
her out of her building and
murder her. Two other
women were “going to be
raped in front of each other
to heighten their fears,” while
another was going to be
roasted alive over an open
fire, she said.
“The suffering was for his
enjoyment, and he wanted to
make it last as long as possible,” she said.
Mangan-Valle broke down
in tears several times, but the

to help build a list of potential targets. A conviction on
the kidnapping count carries
a possible life sentence.
The officer has claimed his
online discussions of cannibalism were harmless fetish
fantasies. But in opening

were put in jeopardy.

Egypt hot air balloon
crash leaves 19 dead
LUXOR, Egypt (AP) — A
hot air balloon flying over
Egypt’s ancient city of Luxor
caught fire and crashed into a
sugar cane field today, killing
at least 19 foreign tourists in
one of the world’s deadliest
ballooning accidents and
handing a new blow to Egypt’s
ailing tourism industry.
The casualties included
French, British, Belgian,
Hungarian, Japanese nationals and nine tourists from
Hong Kong, Luxor Governor
Ezzat Saad told reporters.
Three survivors — two British
tourists and the Egyptian
pilots — were taken to a local
hospital, but one of the
Britons later died of injuries.
Egypt’s civil aviation minister, Wael el-Maadawi, suspended hot air balloon flights
and flew to Luxor to lead the
investigation into the crash.
The balloon, which was
carrying 20 tourists and a
pilot, was landing after a
flight over the southern town,
when a landing cable got
caught around a helium tube
and a fire erupted, according
to an investigator with the
state prosecutor’s office.
The balloon then shot up in
the air, the investigator said.
The fire set off an explosion of
a gas canister and the balloon
plunged some 1,000 feet to
the ground, according to an
Egyptian security official. It
crashed in a sugar cane field
outside al-Dhabaa village just
west of Luxor, 320 miles south
of Cairo, the official said.
The official and the investigator spoke on condition of
anonymity because they
were not authorized to talk to
the media.
Hot air ballooning is a popular pastime for tourists in
Luxor, usually at sunrise to
give a dramatic view over the
pharaonic temples of Karnak
and Luxor and the Valley of the
Kings, a desert valley where
many pharaoh, notably King
Tutenkhamun, were buried.
New talks on Iran nuclear

mise will yield any major
breakthroughs, but negotiators are optimistically casting
it as a stepping stone toward
reaching a workable solution.
Officials described the latest diplomatic discussions as
a way to build confidence with
Iran as the country steadfastly
maintains its right to enrich
uranium in the face of harsh
international sanctions.
Mehdi Mohammadi, a
member of the Iranian delegation, said Tehran was prepared to make an offer of its
own to end the deadlock but
will resist some of the West’s
core demands.
The Obama administration
is pushing for diplomacy to
solve the impasse but has not
ruled out the possibility of
military intervention in Iran
to prevent it from acquiring a
nuclear weapon. Israel has
threatened it will use all
means to stop Iran from being
able to build a bomb, potentially as soon as this summer,
raising the specter of a possible Mideast war.

governing coalition that can
stay the course on unpopular

A day after polling ended, a
few seats in Parliament based
on Italians’ voting abroad still
remained to be decided, but
their numbers won’t ease the
gridlock. European leaders
pleaded with politicians in
Italy to quickly form a government to continue to enact
reforms to lower Italy’s critically high debt and spare
Europe another spike in its
four-year financial crisis.
If Italian parties fail to form
a governing coalition, new
elections would be required,
causing more uncertainty and

The results of the election

Increase in indigent
burials for counties
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
Counties across Kentucky, like
much of the country, are seeing more cases of unclaimed
bodies and families who can’t
afford to bury or cremate a
loved one. Every situation is
unique, but coroners and local
government officials tell a
similar story: The economic
downturn has left many people without the money to pay
for funeral services that can
cost thousands of dollars, and
it’s falling on cities and states
to cover the bills.
How unclaimed remains are
handled varies by state, and in
many cases, in which county
the person dies. Sixteen states
now subsidize the burial or
cremation of unclaimed bodies. Most of the state programs
provide disposition services to
people on Medicaid, a cost

The international rights

an “escalation of unlawful

House’s budget office says
long-term unemployed
Americans would lose an
average of more than $400 in
benefits over the year. The
cuts do not affect state unemployment benefits,which jobless workers typically get soon
after their loss of work. The
federal reductions could begin
immediately, though some
analysts say the government
could delay them for a short
period to avoid a harmful hit
on the economy.
Bill Hoagland, a former top
Republican Senate budget
aide and now senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy
Center, a Washington think
tank, said the administration
must be “ betwixt and
between” when it comes to
addressing reductions in programs like jobless aid.

College ‘long shot’ will share story this week
BY JOHN GUNTHER
The World
Kevin Laue went from being cut from his
seventh-grade basketball team because he
had only one full arm to playing for
Manhattan College.
His inspirational story will be shared
multiple times this week on the South
Coast, including during a special screening
of the documentary about his life story,
“Long Shot,” on Friday night at Marshfield
High School.
Laue also will speak to students at both

Shelly McKnight, principal at Harding
Learning Center.
“She had worked with school officials to
have welcoming buddies whenever there
was a new student in school,” McKnight
said.
The club’s goal is to make students feel
welcome, comfortable and safe in their
learning environment and feel connected
with the community, McKnight said.
The fundraiser will help the club with
various activities, such as providing scholarships for students who can’t afford caps
and gowns for graduation, she said.
“This is about doing something good in
their community and in their school,”
McKnight said.
Laue is tied to the McKnight family
because he was coached by Patrick
McKnight, Shelly’s husband, in an AAU
basketball program in Livermore, Calif.
Laue’s left arm ends just below the
elbow, and he was cut from his seventhgrade team. But Patrick McKnight coached
him for several years in the AAU program,
and he ultimately played for Manhattan.
“We’re really proud of him and proud
to know him,” Shelly McKnight said. “He’s
so grounded, so well-rounded and humble.”
But Laue also was determined that
nobody would tell him what he couldn’t do.
“It’s a very inspiring story,” she said.

Myrtle Point’s Matt Newton fights with Stanfield’s Michael Martinez for a rebound during Friday’s game. The Bobcats face Irrigon in the Class 2A quarterfinals Wednesday.
Journey takes MP seniors to Pendleton
BY JOHN GUNTHER
The World
MYRTLE POINT — Brad Larsen, Matt
Newton and Kyle Seals were rebels before third
grade.
It wasn’t their fault.
Myrtle Point’s youth basketball program
needed a coach for the combined third- and
fourth-grade basketball team. Dave Larsen
offered to step in, but only if his son, then a second-grader, could join the squad.
Then, as the story goes, three moms stepped
in. If Brad was allowed to play, they wanted
their sons (Newton, Seals and Matt Miranda) to
play, too.
So it was that the core of this year’s Myrtle
Point team started playing together.
“We’ve been on the same team every year
since second grade,” Newton said.
“All that hard work paid off,” Seals added.
Miranda ended up at Coquille High School,
but the other three form half of Myrtle Point’s
primary rotation that will take the court in
Pendleton against Irrigon on Wednesday in the
quarterfinals of the Class 2A state tournament.
Dave Larsen coached the boys for three
years when they were young and then helped
out when they were eighth-graders, before
becoming their high school coach three years
ago. He can’t wait to share the state tournament experience with them.
“I couldn’t be more pleased,” he said. “Matt
(Newton) said something early in the season,

Note: Myrtle Point games will be broadcast locally by

‘I’d really like to go to state. I’ve never been to
state in my life.’”
Brad Larsen has been to the state meet in
track and field. Seals and Newton never have
experienced the postseason.
“To be able to go to state in basketball, it’s a
pretty big deal,” Dave Larsen said.
He envisioned it happening all those years
ago, when his son and the others were having
success.
“When they were little, I thought for sure
that’s where we’d be,” he said. “I didn’t know
I’d be the coach. That’s just the way things
worked out.”
Myrtle Point hasn’t been in the state tournament since before the current players were
born. The last time was 1994, when Larsen was
the assistant to Steve Perkins.
They face long odds, at least according to
the rankings.
Irrigon is unbeaten and has the top spot in
the OSAA power rankings for Class 2A.
“They’re very quick,” Larsen said. “They’ve
got some really good guards. But I’ve got good
guards, too.”
Irrigon likes to run a motion offense based
around its four guards. The Bobcats like to play
a fast pace with guards Larsen, Cooper Stateler
and Thomas Nathan running the floor and getting the ball inside to Seals and Newton. Taylor
Fischer adds a deep threat off the bench.
“I think we match up with them really well,”
Dave Larsen said.
And though Myrtle Point hasn’t been to the
tournament in ages, the coach pointed out that
Irrigon never has been there.
“It’s their first time in Pendleton, too.”
Myrtle Point got to the tournament by beating Stanfield, one of Irrigon’s league rivals, in
the playoffs Friday.
The game showed how good the Bobcats
have become.
“I was happy with how we finished,” Larsen
said. “We did not play as well as we can. We
hung in there and we grinded it out.
“I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. At that
level, there is no easy.”
The Bobcats leave for Pendleton today, with
a plan to practice at Blue Mountain Community
College. They’ve been working out at 1:30 p.m.
the past few days to get ready for their start
time Wednesday.
“We’re excited,” Larsen said. “We’re going
to get to bed early and come out and play as
hard as we can and see what we can do.”
Bulldog bowlers finish second at state
THE WORLD
North Bend continued the South Coast’s
strong tradition at the state bowling tournament by placing second Sunday.
Marshfield’s boys also competed in the state
tournament, but were eliminated before the
championship rounds.
The Bulldogs did well in qualifying during
the tournament, especially Saturday. They
were in second place after the first 24 Baker
games, in which the five team members alternate frames. North Bend fell to fifth place after
the final six games Sunday morning.
The Bulldogs beat the No. 12 seed, but then
came up against Grants Pass, and lost by eight
pins.
“The girls were worried that we would go
home,” said North Bend coach Tracie Ball.
“Fortunately, we kept our spirits high and for
the second time our team persevered to the
end.”
The Bulldogs won four straight matches and
then met Cottage Grove in the semifinals. The
Bulldogs had beaten the Lions in the championship match of the district tournament, and
they prevailed again, reaching the title match
against Mazama.
North Bend beat Mazama, but since the
Vikings hadn’t lost in the double-elimination
tournament, North Bend needed to win again.
“Mazama came out strong and had the
game of their life,” Ball said. “With a solid 238,
the girls sealed the deal and the victory was
theirs.”
Ball praised her own team for its efforts.

“At the end of the day, we took second and
could not have asked for anything more,” she
said. “(The girls) handled themselves well and
stayed positive throughout the entire weekend.
“They had six 200-plus games and accomplished team goals that they never thought
were possible.”
Ball credited Amy Kress with keeping the
team’s motivation up throughout the event.
“Our only senior, Micah Lowery, is ending
her high school career in a positive way, and the
younger team members know that they are
capable of doing this all over again,” Ball said.
Other team members were Arianna
Campbell, Jaimie Katherman, Josie Dixon and
Sierra Smith.
The coach extended thanks to the parents,
coaches, faculty and booster club members, as
well as the staff at North Bend Lanes, for supporting the program.
“We represented our town well, and this
experience will never be forgotten,” Ball said.
North Bend graduate Kevin
Waller briefly held the University
of Wyoming’s 1,000-yard swimming record after a fast swim at
the Mountain Pacific Sports
Federation championships, but it
was soon broken by a teammate.
Waller’s time for the 1,000 was
his split at that point in the mile.
He posted a big personal best in
the mile, finishing
in 15:26.55, the
second-best
time in school
history, until
Ryan Nelson
broke the school
record (as well as
the 1,000-yard record) with a time
of 15:16.77.
Waller’s time was good enough
to place fifth and also met the B
qualifying standard for the NCAA
championships. The freshman
also finished 14th in the 500
freestyle with another personal
best (4:29.01) and helped
Wyoming place second in the meet
behind UNLV.
Boise State swimming:
North Bend graduate Rachel
Heaney helped the Broncos finish
second in the Mountain West
Conference championships by
winning the 200-yard butterfly
with a time of 1:57.40. That was
just off her own school record of
1:57.39, set in the preliminaries,
and met the NCAA provisional
qualifying standard.
Heaney, a junior, also placed
fourth in the 400 individual medley (4:17.04) and 11th in the 100
butterfly (55.19).
Southern Oregon basketball: The Raiders play Warner
Pacific in Portland for the Cascade
Collegiate Conference championship, after a run through the
conference playoffs led in part by
Marshfield graduate Kyle Tedder.
On Saturday, the Raiders upset
No. 4 Eastern Oregon in Pendleton
to clinch their spot in the championship game and a berth in the
NAIA Division II national tournament next week.
Tedder, a junior, had 13 points
in the team’s 89-71 win over
Eastern Oregon. That came after
a 100-88 win over Concordia in
the opener of the conference
tournament, when Tedder had 33
points, including nailing five 3pointers.
The junior averages 15.3 points,
second on the team to Eric
Thompson’s 15.8 points.
University of Oregon Track
& Field: Redshirt freshman Blake
Kemp finished third in the heptathlon at the Mountain Pacific
Sports Federation indoor track and
field championships over the
weekend.
Kemp had personal bests of
8.32 seconds for the 60 hurdles
and 2:43.49 for the 1,000 meters
on the final day of the meet. He
had three personal bests the opening day, with a time of 7.08 for the
60 meters, a leap of 22 feet, 5 inches in the long jump and a clearance
of 6-3.25 in the high jump. He also
had an effort of 41-4.25 in the shot
put.
North Bend graduate Sammie
Clark placed fifth in the pole vault,
clearing 12-11. Earlier in the season, the junior from North Bend
won a meet at Seattle by matching
her personal best and clearing 134.25.

Brady’s new deal
helps New England
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tom Brady will be a
Patriot until he is 40 years
old.
Brady agreed to a threeyear contract extension
through 2017 with New
England on Monday, a person
familiar with
the contract
told The
Associated
Press. The
extension is
worth about
$27 million and will free up
nearly $15 million in salary
cap room for the team, which
has several younger players it
needs to re-sign or negotiate
new deals with.
Sports Illustrated first
reported the extension.
The 35-year-old twotime league MVP was signed
through 2014, and has said he
wants to play at least five
more years.
A three-time Super Bowl
champion, Brady will make
far less in those three seasons
than the going rate for star
quarterbacks. Brady currently has a four-year, $72 million
deal with $48 million guaranteed.
Drew Brees and Peyton
Manning are the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks, at an
average of $20 million and $18
million a year, respectively.

Portland’s Wesley Matthews, right, goes to the hoop against Miami’s Chris Bosh during a Feb. 12 game.
Matthews plays through pain for Blazers
PORTLAND (AP) — Trail
Blazers guard Wesley
Matthews sees only one
option left after trying all the
treatments he can on his sore
left leg.
“Pray,” he says in all seriousness.
Matthews hurt his leg and
ankle, along with his left
elbow, just before the AllStar break. But he’s playing —
and praying — through the
pain, hoping to help push
Portland into the playoffs.
The Trail Blazers (26-30),
are four games back of
Houston for the eighth and
final playoff spot in the West.
1
The Lakers are 2 ⁄2 games out
of eighth.
The Blazers need their
affable shooting guard down
the stretch. He is averaging 15
points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8
assists in 35 minutes per
game. His importance to the
team was evident Sunday
night when he made a clutch
3-pointer with just under a
minute left in Portland’s 9286 victory over the Celtics.
“God bless him,” Boston
coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s
done it all year. He’s made
some great shots.”
Matthews finished with
24 points, including five 3pointers, but often winced in
pain. His limp grew more
pronounced as the game
went on.
“Ankle, elbow, I’m not
even close to 80 percent,”
Matthews said. “But I’m out
there fighting and my teammates are bringing me along.
They’re supporting me.”
According to the Blazers,
Matthews has made six of
seven 3-point attempts in the
final minute of games when
the score is within three
points. On Jan. 10, he hit
another memorable 3 with
26.9 seconds to go in a 92-90
victory over the Miami Heat.
The son of nine-year NBA
veteran Wes Matthews, the
6-foot-5 Texas native went
undrafted out of Marquette
but signed with Utah before
the 2009 season. He went on
to start in 48 games for the
Jazz his rookie season, averaging 9.4 points. The Blazers
signed him in July 2010.
Earlier this season, a hip
injury put Matthews briefly
on the bench in street clothes
for the first time in his fouryear NBA career. He had
played in 250 straight games,
second-most among active
players behind Oklahoma
City’s Russell Westbrook.
In a game at New Orleans
just before the All-Star
break, Matthews collided
with rookie Austin Rivers and
fell awkwardly. He couldn’t
put weight on the leg and
needed to be helped off the
court.
Matthews
missed
Portland’s first game back
after the break, but returned
to face the Lakers and Celtics.
The victory over Boston
snapped a seven-game
Portland losing streak, the
team’s longest of the season.
“As long as I feel I’m not
going to further damage my
future, I’m going to keep
playing,” he said.
But it clearly isn’t easy, by
the looks of his limp. And
after the big 3-pointer
against
the
Celtics,
Matthews grabbed his elbow.
“Every game I’m looking
up and praying, ‘Let me get
through this quarter,”’ he
said.
Matthews continues to
receive treatment on both his
leg and elbow. The plan after
the Boston game was to hook
up to electric stimulation
machines at home and watch
the movie “Ironman.”
He’s putting himself
through all this for one reason: hope. While the Blazers
were hurt by the seven-game
losing streak, they are not out
of it yet by any means.
Matthews even has a theory
that if the team can put
together five three-game
winning streaks over the next
26 games, it will be enough to
get into the playoffs.
Portland missed the postseason last year.
“We haven’t lost hope. We
haven’t lost belief,”
Matthews said. “We still feel
we can make these playoffs.
We know what we’ve got to
do.”

Te’o struggles in 40 at
NFL scouting combine
INDIANAPOLIS — Manti
Te’o’s first appearance on a
football field since the BCS
championship game didn’t
go as well as planned.
The Notre Dame star and
Heisman Trophy runner-up
was clocked at 4.82 seconds
in the 40-yard dash at the
NFL scouting combine. NFL
Network draft analyst Mike
Mayock had said Sunday
anything faster than 4.7
would be “phenomenal.”
Anything 4.8 or over would
be a “concern.”
The workout came more
than a month after Te’o’s
highly-publicized online
romance with a girlfriend
was exposed as a hoax and
that he was a victim of the
hoax.
The linebacker said
Saturday the hoax had no
impact on that game. And he
insists it has not affected his
preparation for the combine,
either.
But instead of putting
those concerns to rest with a
good showing, Te’o fell short
of his goals again — and not
just in the 40.
Te’o participated in five of
the seven drills, opting out of

Johnson rewards crew chief with Daytona victory
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) —
As Jimmie Johnson racked up win
after win, championship after
championship, he was always chasing one important victory.
Johnson already had one
Daytona 500 victory on his resume.
But he needed one more.
He needed it for Chad Knaus,
the crew chief who has been with
Johnson since the start of their ride
into the record books. Knaus wasn’t
there the day Johnson won his first
500; he had been suspended by
NASCAR after a technical violation
found the week before the race was
deemed to be deliberate.
So Darian Grubb, still a
Hendrick Motorsports employee at
the time, called the 2006 Daytona
victory in Knaus’ place. Ever since,
Johnson has wanted to win another
so Knaus would have a chance to
celebrate winning “The Great
American Race.”
The time came Sunday when
Johnson won his second Daytona
500, forcing the intensely private
Knaus to admit just how badly he
wanted the win with his No. 48 team.
“As you guys know, I eat, sleep
and breathe 48,” Knaus said.
“Anytime that I’m taken away from
that race car, I’m pretty sad. But
when those guys were able to come
down here and win the Daytona 500
in 2006 in my absence, I think that
really solidified the strength of the
48 car. Was I here? No. Was I here in
spirit? Most definitely. I couldn’t
have been prouder of the group of
guys we had there.
“But to finally be able to come
down here and win, and be a part of
this is definitely a huge dream come
true.”
It was a moment Knaus has been
working toward his entire life.
He has sacrificed plenty in his
personal life to get here. With no wife
and no kids, he’s not kidding when he
says he devotes most of his time to
Hendrick Motorsports and building
championship race cars. He is not
satisfied with what he and Johnson
have accomplished since they were
paired before Johnson’s 2002 rookie
season — and that includes five
Sprint Cup championships.
No amount of wins or titles has
so far satisfied Knaus. It’s been two
years since Johnson’s last title, and
he went down to the wire with Brad
Keselowski last season before bad
breaks in the final two races gave
Keselowski his first championship.
So Knaus was relentless — of
course — during offseason preparations. And he devoted a considerable amount of time to the Daytona
500, the first race for NASCAR’s
new Gen-6 car.
“I know we worked at least 35
days straight on the car that we
raced in the Daytona 500,” Knaus
said. “I know I put in personally one
day of 38 hours straight. I actually
sent Jimmie a text, saying ‘I’ve seen
6:48 three times today and haven’t
been to bed yet.’ “
Knaus believes that drive is the
difference between the No. 48 team
and the competition.
“I think what we have above
everybody else is the desire to go
out and win races,” he said. “We’ve
got 500 plus employees at Hendrick
Motorsports. When they all want to
go out and win races, you put guys
like (Johnson) behind the seat,
you’re going to see magic happen.”
This Daytona 500 win comes at
a time of change for Knaus, who is
trying as hard as he can to have a life
away from racing. He got engaged
in December to longtime girlfriend
Lisa Rockelmann, who understands
when he doesn’t come home for 38
consecutive hours.
Team owner Rick Hendrick
believes Knaus is in a far better place
now than he was in 2006, and the
balance Knaus has added to his life
might not be enough for everyone,
but it’s working for the crew chief.
“You can’t be 100 percent and live
in the shop and work on the car and if
you don’t win, you can’t live with
yourself,” Hendrick said.“He’s learned
to have other pieces in his life.”

Fastest ever
Assignment: Research one of the
fastest animals or machines and
write a paragraph with three facts
and one opinion.
Jessika M., a student at North
Bay Elementary School, North
Bend, will receive a prize for her
submission on this topic:
The short fin Mako Shark is
amazing because of its speed. The
short fin Mako Shark can go fast,
really fast like 46 mph. The short fin
Mako Shark can jump more than six
feet out of watur. The short fin Mako
Shark’s tail helps the shark go fast.
This is the fastes animal I know of.
NORTH BAY ELEMENTARY
From Mrs. Johnson’s 4th grade class
The SR-71 is one of the fastest
planes. The SR-71 Black Bird can fly
faster than about 2,200 mph. It can go
around the same speed as a bullet. I
set a lot of records on speed. I hope I
can fly the SR-71 Black Bird because
it’s really fast! The SR-71 Black Bird is
aswome!
By Dominic
The Cheetah is one of the fastest
animals on earth. One of the reasons
why the cheetah can run up to 71 mph.
The Cheetah is also fast because it has
a flexible spine. The long tail helps the
Cheetah balance while running.
Brittany S.
The Thrust SSC is one of the
fastest veilical in the world. Durring
october 1979, the Thrust SSC reached
763 m.p.h. The Thrust SSC has three
tires at the front that are squished to
go faster. Durring a race the Thrust
SSC got first place by a speed of 763
m.p.h. for 50 miles in 1 hour and 10
mins. The Thrust SSC is awesome!
Jeffrey H.
I think Cheetahs are amazing animals becuase how fast they go.
Cheetahs get there energy by resting.
They resen why cheetas are fast when
they chase food is becuse there food is
faster then them then they want to be
fast. The cheetah goes 60 to 90 mph.
But I wish I could see a cheetah.
Ayla B.
I think the sailfish is an amazing
creature because it is so fast. One reason a sailfish can go fast is that it has a
big tailfin that works as a sail to help
them run from danger or to catch
food. Another reason a sailfish can go
fast is that it has a skinney and narrow
body. The sailfishes fastest speed is 63
mph, which can help them get away
from danger. It was fun learning
about sailfish, shame it went by so
fast.
Michael S.
I think that the Tiger beetle is the
most amazing of the beetle population. It can a lital bit faster than the
fastest man sprinter. It can allmost
run as fast as 494 km/h. After a count
of time they coud go blind.
Tabor B.
The Baskilisk lizard is so fast it can
sipp acros the water. The Baskilisk
Lizard can run to about 7.5 mph. That
mite not seem like a lot but for a lizard
thats fast. The baskilisk lizzard has
large, webed feet to help it balince on
water.
Thomas J.
I think that gazelles are cool. the
gazelles can run from their predators
at speeds of 40 mph. They are so fast
they can out run a cheetahs. They eat
grass and drink water all night and
days. I wish I could see a gazelles.
Jessica P.
Did you know a horse is one of the
fastest animals in the world? The
American Quarter horse can run 47.5
miles per hour. and that makes it the
worlds seventh fastest animal and
thats actually really good. This breed
of horse was actually bred to be the
fastest horse in the world. The ability
to beat other horses in races is what
gives this horse its name. I now think
the American Quarter horse is one of
the most interesting animals because
I learned about its speed.
Emma W.
The Thrust SSC is the fastest car
ever built. The Thrust SSC happend
to make a world record in 1997 When
it went faster than 760 mph (miles per
hour) and left a scar on the land. It
broke through the sound barrier on
the ground. The things that make the
Thrust SSC move are two Rolls Ryce
turboan engines. If you want to see
this magnificent thing go to the
Coventry Transport Museum in
Coventry, England. I think that it
whould be fun to ride the Thrust SSC
and experience the joy of being free
form the worldly things.
Tyler H.
I think that cheetahs are vary fast.
So that they can run away from danger and catch it’s pray. For example.
The cheetah can run 75 mph at the
fastest. It has a long leagd body that
helps it run faster. Olso it can sprint
45 mph in 2.5 seconds at a time. The
Cheetahs are so fast they are hard to
lern about. See ya cheetah.
Destinee C.
I think that cheetahs are amazing
animals because they can run fast.
Cheetahs use their tails when they are
running to guide them. The fastest a
cheetah has ben recorded in 70 mph.
Hop you had fun learning!

BAY AREA IRON CHEF — BATTLE CITRUS
Everything goes better with Rice
Bandon chef puts her spin on Hawaiian theme to win title
Chef Lacey Rice cooked and presented six
courses in the Iron Chef competition, the
Rotary Club’s main fundraiser, at the Red
Lion Hotel in Coos Bay on Saturday.

OOS BAY — The competition
was as hot as the food
Saturday at the Red Lion
Hotel in Coos Bay, as two area chefs
battled for culinary supremacy.
When the flour had settled at the
2013 Bay Area Iron Chef competition,
Lacey Rice of Bandon restaurant Lord
Bennett’s emerged victorious over
Oregon Coast Culinary Institute’s Tara
Pryor. The event, put on by North
Bend High School’s Interact Club in
conjunction with the Bay Area Sunrise
Rotary Club, is in its sixth year.
Both Pryor and Rice are OCCI
graduates. Pryor

ago to serve as the

assistant to Executive Director
Shawn Hanlin.
Organizer Lynda Kristoffersen said
each competitor was given a fully
equipped kitchen, $400 for ingredients, and five hours to cook dinner for
150 people. Each chef was required to
make an appetizer, a sweet dish, a
savory dish, a dish of their choice, a
vegetarian dish and a dessert.
Competitors pulled out all the
stops in choosing choice ingredients
for the Hawaiian-themed event. Rice
ordered an airlift of monchong, a
type of Hawaiian snapper. Pryor
hauled out short ribs.
When the cooking began at noon
sharp, Pryor and Rice opened their
baskets to reveal their secret ingredient: Citrus. Rice and Pryor mostly
used it in sauces, although both vegetarian options brought the fruit center
stage. Kristoffersen said previous
competitions’ mystery ingredients
have included bacon and Greek
yogurt.
Each was paired with two professional sous chefs, a Rotarian sous
chef and student sous chef from the
Interact Club.
Kristoffersen, who helps run the
Interact program at NBHS, said the
process for selecting student sous
chefs is competitive. “The one that
attends the most meetings and has
the most valuable input gets to be a
sous chef.”
The judging panel was composed of
restaurateur Joe Benetti, Walt’s Pourhouse owner Anneka Davis and Kathi
Simonetti of Cone 9. All are members
of local Rotary organizations.
Former Iron Chef Larry Moore of
Fresh Beginnings Catering served as
master of ceremonies.
“I’ve done a lot of competitions
and this is tough — 150 portions,”
Pryor said. “Five hours go by way too
fast.”
Chefs Tara Pryor, foreground, and Lacey Rice cooked and presented six courses in the Iron Chef competition.

A pear crisp
to make anytime
BY SARA MOULTON
The Associated Press
Sometimes, even on a
weeknight, you really crave a
little dessert. But making
dessert takes time, and you
already are spending time
cooking up the main event,
namely dinner.
That’s where this recipe
comes to the rescue. It’s a
quick, easy and delicious
pear crisp that calls for just
five ingredients — pears, granola, lemon juice, apricot
jam and a pinch of salt.
Pears are just now at the
tail-end of their season. Yes,
I know we can find pears all
year these days. But believe
me, those specimens are
going to be nowhere near as
electrifying as a fullyripened in-season local pear.
The problem is the relative
rareness of such pears. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was onto
something when he wrote,
“There are only 10 minutes in
the life of a pear when it is
perfect to eat.”
In other words, most of
the time, no matter where it
comes from, our pears aren’t
at the peak of perfection.
And for those times, when
pears are unripe and you
don’t have time to let them
ripen, this recipe comes in
mighty handy. Baking an
unripe pear not only makes it
tender, it also crystallizes
and magnifies the fruit’s flavor. Happily, any kind of pear
— and there are many varieties — will work in this
recipe, as will a mix of varieties.
Pears also have a lot to
offer in terms of health.
They’re a good source of
vitamin C and a great source
of fiber.
As for granola, there are a
zillion brands in the cereal
aisle of the supermarket. The
problem is that many of
them are laden with fat and
sugar even as they masquerade under a healthy halo.
That’s why the recommended portion on the back of
most granola boxes is just 1⁄4
cup. Pour yourself a normal,
adult-sized portion and you
might as well be tucking into
a breakfast of waffles and
sausage.
So when you shop for granola, look for a brand that’s
lower in fat, sugar and calories than the competition —
and which also contains lots
of nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
And if you want to bump up
the nutritional value of this
recipe even more, you also
1
could add ⁄4 cup of ground
flaxseed.
With all of that said, I
wouldn’t worry too much
about the amount of granola
in this recipe. Per serving, it’s
about what the granola box
recommends, and mostly
serves to put the crisp on this
pear crisp. Heck, you’d be
much better off serving this
dessert for breakfast than
dogging a big bowl of nothing but granola.

1
⁄2 cup plus 1 tablespoon
apricot preserves or

4 pears (about 2 pounds),

sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups purchased granola
Heat the oven to 350
degrees. Lightly coat a shallow 6-cup baking dish with
cooking spray.
In a small saucepan over
medium-low, heat the preserves until melted and easily stirred.
Set the sliced pears in a
large bowl, then drizzle the
preserves over them. Add the
lemon juice and salt, then
toss well. Spread the pears
evenly in the prepared baking
dish.
Sprinkle the granola evenly over the pears, then cover
the dish loosely with foil and
bake 30 minutes. Remove the
foil and bake another 15 minutes, or until the pears are
tender. Serve hot or cold.

Asian steamed clams or mussels are served with broccoli rabe. Seafood lovers know that this steamed standby is high in protein as well
as big on taste.
Clams deliver big flavor
BY SARA MOULTON
The Associated Press
I’d love to claim that
this wonderful recipe
required hours of arduous
research and testing (not
to mention the expert
application of all of my
hard-won culinary skills)
before I was able to settle
on the exact proportions
of its ideal ingredients. But
I’d be lying. In truth, I had
almost nothing to do with
it. The clams did it.
Certain ingredients —
including clams, mussels,
rack of lamb, skirt steak
and dark chocolate —
make meals delicious with
very little effort on your
part. Really, you’d have to
be an idiot to screw them
up. Clams and mussels are
especially generous, delivering a one-two punch of
taste thrills: the succulent
bivalves themselves and
the deeply flavorful juices
that stream out of them
when they’re cooked.
My favorite way to mess
with clams is to steam
them, as in this recipe. You
toss all the ingredients into
a pot, pile on the clams, put
on the lid, crank up the
heat, and presto! Ten minutes later the dish is done.
The only problem is that
the clam liquor at the bottom of the pot is so tasty
that I’m forced to sop it up
with slice after slice of
bread.
That’s why I decided to
bulk up this dish with broccoli rabe, a healthy and
savory vegetable that
absorbs some of the clam
liquor as it cooks (though
the clam liquor that
remains still cries out for at
least a slice or two of toasted country-style bread).
As a way of blunting the
vegetable’s slightly bitter
edge, your first step with
broccoli rabe is to blanch
it. Cut off the tough ends
of the stems, then boil it all
in a large pot of salted
water for two minutes.
Next, drain it and transfer
it to a bowl of ice water to
stop the cooking and set
the color. Finally, chop it
crosswise into pieces
about 1⁄2-inch thick. It’s
just much easier to eat that
way. The garlic, chili
sauce, ginger and sesame
oil in the broth are complements strong enough to
stand up to the robustness
of the broccoli rabe.
After insisting above
that there’s no way to
screw up cooking with
clams, I’ve got to emphasize one crucial step, a step
to ensure that the little
guys turn out tender. You
need to remove each clam
from the pot as it opens

Get a tax
break with
your used
clothing
If you itemize your tax
return, you are in a perfect
position to pick up some
extra dough.
You do know that you are
allowed to deduct the fair
market
EVERYDAY
value of
CHEAPSKATE i t e m s
y o u
donate to
qualified
charitab l e
o rga n i za t i o n s,
right?
And you
probably
Mary
don't do
a very
Hunt
good job
of that
because how on earth are
you supposed to know the
fair market value of those
shoes or that bag of clothes?
Not to mention that computer, lamp or other household appliance.
Most people stuff a
bunch of clothes into bags,
drop them off at a collection
center and claim a $100
deduction. But those
clothes could easily have
been worth $1,500 or more
if you only knew how to
value them. And the values
add up quickly.
Books, even magazines,
can be donated to libraries
or churches and properly
valued. The law does not
allow the charity to set the
value of an item. You, the
donor and taxpayer, must
do that. But how much
should you claim?
If you overstate the value
you risk an audit, penalties
and interest. If you underestimate, you will pay more
taxes than you should.
Here are some examples
of what donated items are
worth, assuming “Good”
condition:
Women’s dress: $12
Men’s suit: $23
Boy’s jeans: $4
Luggage set: $20
Stove: $30
See what I mean? It can
really add up fast.
In his booklet, “Money
for Your Used Clothing: Tax
Year 2012,” Certified Public
Accountant William R.
Lewis comes to the rescue of
uncertain taxpayers. The
booklet lists values for more
than 700 items of clothing
and household goods commonly donated to charity.
The values are obtained
from annual surveys of consignment and thrift stores
that Lewis and his staff perform in all areas of the U.S.,
conforming to IRS requirements for donated items.
Lewis produces a new
and updated version of this
booklet every single year to
reflect true values for the
current tax year. And Lewis
guarantees his work. If the
IRS disallows the deduction, he will personally pay
any interest and penalties.
By using “Money for Your
Used Clothing,” Lewis estimates clients (thousands of
them are in our own
Everyday Cheapskate family) have saved more than $15
million in taxes that would
have otherwise lined the
pockets of Uncle Sam.
That’s a pile of allowable
deductions.
“Money for Your Used
Clothing” addresses recent
tax law changes and guidelines for tax year 2012. It
retails for $25, but because I
believe this is such a valuable tool, I’ve negotiated a
special price of just $20
(plus $2.53 for U.S. Postal
Service media mail shipping, which may take up to
two weeks for delivery) for
my Everyday Cheapskate

BRIDGE
The best improvement in bridge in
the last 20 years is the employment of
“useless” cards to send suit-preference signals.
Without this style of defense, West
would have to guess what to do in this
deal. With suit preference, it is easy.
How should the play and defense
go in four spades after West leads the
diamond king?
South has four losers: three hearts
and one diamond. (West cannot have
the ace and king of hearts, because
his opening lead would have been the
heart ace, not the diamond king.) But
South has 10 potential tricks: five
spades, two diamonds and three
clubs. His best play is to take the first
trick and immediately to lead back his
diamond jack. To defeat the contract,
West must win with his queen and shift
to a heart. But how will he know that is
right instead of a club switch?
At trick one, East plays his diamond two, discouraging. But on the
second round, he can play the seven
or four. Wanting a heart
shift, he drops the
seven, the higher card
asking for the higherranking of the other two
side suits. Now West
knows exactly what to
do.
If you have only low
trumps, you can also
use those to send suitpreference signals. In
this deal, if South immediately draws trumps,
East can play eight-sixthree-two, always the
highest calling for a
heart.
The snag with these
signals is that you and
your partner have to
watch the cards very
carefully. But if you do,
you will defeat more
contracts.

TUESDAY, FEB. 26, 2013
A number of restrictions that
have hampered your progress in
the past are likely to be gradually lessened or, in some cases,
even totally removed in the year
ahead. This will bring success
within your grasp.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
— You’re likely to function far
more effectively when you can
operate independently. Sadly,
you could be more of a hindrance in situations where teamwork is required.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— Usually, you don’t blab things
that should be kept to yourself,
but today you might not be able
to help telling on someone whom
you really dislike. Try not to take
the low road.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
— There are days when socializing can be a negative experience, and it could be one of
those times. If you find this happening to you, make a quick exit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— Your peers could find your
motives suspicious, so if you
think this to be true, make certain
everything you do is above
reproach. If you try anything
funny, you’ll be caught.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
— Even if you feel like sounding
off to someone who really
deserves it, it would be best that
you don’t. Hold your tongue and
count to 10 or even 20, if that’s
what it takes to subdue your
anger.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If
you find yourself involved in a
financial
transaction
that
requires a lot of paperwork, don’t
get lazy and take things for granted. Read the fine print, down to
the very last comma.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
— Friends will tolerate a bit of
restlessness on your part, but
not to the point of changing
group plans. Be thoughtful about
your behavior.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —
When conversing with others,
speak well of friends who aren’t
present, or say nothing at all. Any
comments you make will be
repeated and even distorted to
those being spoken about.

— To expedite certain tasks or
assignments, you might be
tempted to take a few shortcuts.
Unfortunately, this might only
cause more work for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — It’ll reflect poorly on
your image if you try to take credit for something that you had only
a small part in producing. Don’t
let your ego put you in an embarrassing position.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) — Don’t overreact if another’s point of view is diametrically
opposed to yours. Remember,
everyone is entitled to express
his or her opinion. Show them
some respect.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — When left to your own
devices, you’re pretty good at figuring things out. Complications
could enter the picture, however,
with comments by an unsolicited
adviser.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27, 2013
Several old but good relationships might be revived and revitalized in the year ahead. These
wonderful and trustworthy
friends will once again play constructive roles in your affairs, with
everyone benefiting.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
— There are always those times
when we turn out to be the victor
with something in which we are
vulnerable. If you happen to take
a beating in the early rounds
today, keep this in mind.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— Be as flexible as possible
when trying to iron out the snags
in an agreement. When you allow
everything to be on the table during negotiations, the problems
will dissolve.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
— Stay out of office politics as
much as possible. Chances are
nothing will be resolved, but the
brouhaha it stirs up could unsettle you and affect your job performance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— Unless you match your activity with the clock, not everything
you want to accomplish will get
done. Don’t spend too much time
on unanticipated interruptions.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
— Don’t fight for what you want if
you know that doing so will have
detrimental side effects. What’s
good for you might not be equally rewarding for the others
involved.

Even though Lady Luck is willing
to help you out, you might not
notice her contribution until late
in the game. Make some room
for her to squeeze into the picture.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
— When it comes to your financial affairs, be both careful and
prudent by thinking first and acting second. If you reverse this
order, you might not be able to
clean up your mistakes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —
In negotiating a matter of importance, don’t be too hasty and
accept what is first offered. If you
aren’t getting exactly what you
want, you should be able to
improve your position.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— Something that you work really hard on might not turn out as
well as you expected.
Conversely, that to which you
devote little effort could go over
like gangbusters.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — Try to be tolerant and
forgiving in involvements with
both your family and friends.
When you overlook their shortcomings, they, in turn, will overlook yours.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) — Although it might not be
easy, a critical objective can be
achieved. When Lady Luck sees
that you are doing everything you
can, she will lend a helping hand.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — You’ll have good luck in fulfilling your expectations and
hopes, but not necessarily in the
way you expected. Unforeseen
developments will cause you to
scrap your original plans.
THURSDAY, FEBR.28, 2013
The aspects indicate that
greater stabilization in your
financial affairs will be taking
place in the year ahead.
Chances are if it hasn’t already
started, you’ll soon be entering a
growth pattern that will prove
very interesting.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
— Even though any rewards you
reap will be due more to the
efforts of others than your own,
your prospects look exceptionally good. Later, you’ll find a way to
balance the account.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— Do your best to keep all of
your involvements in good, proper balance. Don’t attempt to take
on more than you can manage,
but by the same token, don’t idle

your time away, either.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
— When working on something
you deem to be a labor of love,
positive results are inevitable.
Without question, the secret to
your success is enjoying what
you are doing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— Seek out activities devoid of
competition that bring you
together with friends whose
company you enjoy. You need to
relax, not vie with rivals.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
— This could a particularly good
time to invite friends over to your
place for a little tete-a-tete. Most
of the time, these impromptu gettogethers turn out great.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) —
You’re likely to be exceptionally
competent with projects that are
more mental than physical in
nature. You won’t find a better
day to rest your muscle and give
your brain a workout.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
— Material increases are indicated if you operate along traditional lines. However, the picture
could suddenly change if out of
the blue, you decide to take a
risk on something.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —
Although you have excellent
leadership qualities, they will
remain dormant unless there is
something specific that you
decide to do. Whatever your aim,
it will require tact and grace.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— You could find yourself
involved in something that affects
others more than you. Rather
than get deeply drawn in, keep a
safe and respectful distance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — You have a wonderful
faculty of being able to enjoy
yourself regardless of the hand
that is dealt you. You’ll capitalize
on this gift in two separate situations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) — Even though you might
not be aware of it, you are apt to
be the center of attention in at
least one gathering. It’ll be your
convivial conduct that enhances
these conditions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — One of your best assets is
being able to make friends with
people from all walks of life. This
wonderful quality will be in good
working order — use it to your
advantage.
