NORTH BEND — North Bend residents can expect a higher water bill.

The North Bend City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to increase the sewer rate for the city.

The city council passed a resolution that will increase the sewer rate $4.75 a month for residential housing. North Bend residents were paying, on average, $25.25, and now will have to pay $30.

City public works director Bob Dillard gave a presentation to the council at the meeting, and said increasing the sewer rate will generate money to upgrade the wastewater treatment facility.

Increasing the sewer rate is expected to generate about $250,000 a year for the sewer fund.

The upgrades will happen over the next five years, Dillard said.

The facility has not had a major upgrade since 1991, and some of the pump stations have been in service for 60 years. Dillard said the pipes running underneath the city are also a cause for concern. approximately have “We 250,000 feet of sewer line,” Dillard said. “We have 32,000 feet of pipe older than 70 years, and portions of the concrete pipe built in the 1950s are already starting to fail.”

Dillard said though there is a lot of work to be done to the facility, the city is still in good shape. The upgrade it had in 1991 helped the city out a lot, he said.

Before the resolution came to a vote, the council held a public hearing, and only one North Bend resident spoke.

Susanna Noordhoff, a civil engineer and North Bend resident, said she was impressed with how public works is trying to better the city.

Noordhoff said though the rate is increasing, North Bend residents are better off than surrounding communities.

“Thirty dollars is nothing,” Noordhoff said. “For the property I own in Gardiner, it’s $60 a month. I know Reedsport has been about $60 at least.”

NEWPORT — The U.S. Coast Guard will delay closing its air facility in Newport.

On Tuesday, U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, along with U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader, met with Admiral Paul Zukunft, the commandant of the Coast Guard, and he assured them that he will delay the closure until Dec. 15.

The Coast Guard recently announced it had plans to close its air facilities in Newport on Dec. 1 and consolidate all of its aviation resources on the Oregon Coast to Astoria and North Bend.The majority of calls would go to North Bend.

Newport is one of the busiest ports in Oregon, and it would take about an hour to get there from North Bend if there was an emergency.

Since the decision, many fishermen, relatives of fishermen and Oregon lawmakers questioned the safety of those on the ocean and in the steep forest and vehemently opposed the closure.

The Newport Fishermen’s Wives, a nonprofit organization, started a petition to keep the facility open. It currently has more than 18,000 signatures.

The Coast Guard agreed with the lawmakers that delaying the closure would give more time to assess the possible risks if the closure happens.

During the meeting, the Oregon delegation told the admiral it would use every possible advocacy path to keep the Newport air facility open, and that thousands of lives are at stake.

Educators, volunteers take part in a simulation to see the obstacles many people face ■

BY CARLY MAYBERRY The World

MYRTLE POINT — About 150 educators from area school districts learned a little more about surviving and maneuvering life at the poverty level during a simulation experience last Friday sponsored by the South Coast Education Service District.

Teachers from the Port Orford, Coquille, Myrtle Point and North Bend school districts participated along with volunteers playing community roles in the fourth annual fall regionwide professional development workshop put on by the nonprofit CoActive Connections. The Salem-based organization works to train and collaborate with educators to understand and better cope with the realities of poverty in the classroom and beyond.

COOS BAY — As a longtime executive team member of Southwestern Oregon Community College, Katherine Flores was used to adapting to changes and jumping through hoops to get things done.

Now retired after serving as the college’s executive director of Integrated Technology Services, Flores is looking to bring her experience and skills to Coos Bay as its next city councilor.She is running as a write-in candidate for a currently uncontested seat.

Having survived three different administrations and served 12 years on the

president’s council and executive team while at SWOCC, it’s that adaptability and ability to work through obstacles that makes her former colleagues believe she can make a difference at the political level.

“Typically at a lot of colleges, new administration will bring in their own people so there are lot of changes in the top management, deans and executive directors,” said friend and former colleague Brenda Brecke.

“Katherine was there through three different college presidents, and she was the only one who survived all three presidents, which says a lot of her ability to see the big picture. To

Pot taxes won’t raise much for schools If you’re on the fence about Ballot Measure 91, which would legalize and tax the sale of recreational marijuana in Oregon, don’t let the appeal of raising taxes painlessly for schools and public safety sway you.

The state Legislative Fiscal Office estimated those taxes likely would bring in some $46.6 million in the first two years of sales, while ECONorthwest,working for backers of the initiative, placed the amount at $78.7 million.

Either way, the money wouldn’t go far for schools.

First in line for marijuana proceeds is the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which would likely collect $5.5 million or so for overseeing the sale of the drug in the state.

Counties and cities get a cut. Counties would receive 10 percent of the proceeds as would cities.

Next is the state’s Common School Fund. It gets a 40 percent share. It would get an estimated $16 million to $29 million over two years. If that were divided among the 197 school districts in the state and the more than half a million students, it’s not going to add up to much per student.

Measure 91 may have its positive points, but as a revenue generator the estimates say it’s hardly a winner for schools. If the lure of new money for schools is what draws you to it, you’re likely in for disappointment.

Fed’s new school food rules wrong way to tackle the issue Earlier this month, the affair now dubbed “Popcorngate” ripped through Cascades Elementary in Lebanon. Here’s the background: For years, the parent-teacher organization at the school had made a little bit of cash by selling popcorn once a week as a fundraiser for field trips, playground equipment and classroom activities.

But a change in federal school nutrition standards, which took effect this summer, now means tighter restrictions on the types of foods sold to students on campus at any time during the school day.

So it’s adios to lunchtime popcorn at Cascades Elementary — even though the school parent teacher organization had changed its popcorn brand to reduce the saturated-fat content.

Look, this isn’t really a big deal, although it is a financial pain for the parent-teacher organization. And no one’s doubting that students are still going to be able to get their hit of popcorn — in fact, schools can still serve it during classroom parties, as long as it’s given away.

But, as is the case so often with government regulations on the social front, these new rules overreach. Instead of rolling out the stick, why not put the emphasis on the carrot (literally, in this case)? Why not continue to expand farm-to-school programs — particularly important in this agriculturally rich region — and reward school administrators and cooks who develop smart and effective ways to get kids to eat healthier? Why not give nutritional aid and assistance to parents — who, after all, have something to say about what their kids eat? Why not figure out ways to increase the amount of physical education students get during the school day?

Corvallis Gazette-Times

What should be proper and responsible responses to Ebola?

The governors of New York and New Jersey last week announced mandatory quarantines for anyone entering the United States through Newark Liberty and Kennedy International airports who has had direct contact with Ebola patients in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Are the governors taking a prudent step to guard against the spread of Ebola? Or are they

overreacting at best — or, at worst, pandering to growing fears about the disease?

And will the quarantine make it more difficult to get adequate medical help to the West African countries that have been hardest-hit by the Ebola outbreak?

These are all vitally important questions as U.S. health officials, and political leaders, make tough decisions about Ebola in the weeks to come.

It all tends to highlight one of the key issues facing health officials and politicians as they grapple with Ebola: How to keep the outbreak in proper perspective.

The chances that you or someone you know will contract Ebola remain exceedingly remote. In this most recent outbreak, nine cases of Ebola have been reported in the United States, according to a weekend report in The New York Times. Of those nine, six have recovered. Two remain in treatment. One has died — and it seems at least plausible that the patient in that case would have survived had the Dallas hospital where he reported asked about his travel history.

We don’t mean to underestimate in any way the seriousness of the Ebola outbreak. But let us hope that the decisions we make about how to respond, both inside our borders and beyond, are based on the best possible science — and that they do not needlessly isolate a region of the world that desperately needs assistance.

Albany Democrat-Herald

Spring ahead, fall over The days are getting shorter. And so am I. I don’t think I’m gaining weight, I just think gravity is slowly squishing me into a planet-shaped thing. It’s doing to me what it’s done to the Earth and the moon and the Sun: making me dense, round and wrinkled.

Or maybe the lack of light is just depressing me. They’re going to change the clocks soon, from daylight saving time back to standard.

Instead of changing all the clocks, wouldn’t it be easier for all schools and businesses to simply open an hour later?

Instead of working 9 to 5, in the winter we could work 10 to 6. The same amount of work would get done. Schools could open and close an hour later than usual. The children would hate it just as much.

At one time, back when there was only one clock in the average home, it was probably easier to change the clock than it was to change an office or a factory’s hours. Who knew that one day, every appliance in the average home would have a clock? Every microwave, every TiVo, every phone, every thermostat, every treadmill, every coffeemaker, every radio, JIM every toothbrush, every MULLEN stovetop has a clock that Humorist must be changed. Want a fun way to waste a day?

Try getting your stovetop clock and your microwave clock to display the same exact time. One will always say 8:31 when the other says 8:32. The way things are going, soon your sofa will come with a built-in timer.

Not to mention the actual clocks that clutter our bedstands and hallways. Sue and I both have alarm clocks. I never reset mine, because I never use it to wake up.

It’s only there so I can tell Sue what time her cat sat on my head last night, and long ago I realized that accuracy in cat behavior is not a big deal with her. Certainly not something she wants to hear about at 3 or 4 a.m. An hour one way or the other doesn’t seem to faze her.

Sue sets her alarm with great care, always making it exactly 15 minutes early so she’ll never be late. All winter long, she stews about my clock, because the first thing she sees when she wakes up is my clock telling her she’s 45 minutes behind schedule. I figure it makes up for the cat thing.

In the car, I have to pull out the manual to remember how to set the clock. I never had to worry about this when I was a kid.

The clock and the radio in my cars never worked. Neither did the car, most of the time. Now I drive cars where the clock and the radio both work, but who needs the clock? On the radio, practically all they do is tell me what time it is. It’s the top of the hour, it’s the bottom of the hour, it’s 22 past the hour, it’s the weather on the 8’s, it’s the traffic report on the 10’s. All as if I don’t already have a cellphone, a watch and a clock on the dash that can tell me the time. I’m sure somebody out there in radioland doesn’t know what time it is, but I wouldn’t brag about him being a listener. He probably doesn’t know what day it is, either.

Changing the clocks just seems like such a bother for the little benefit we get out of it. Now, if we could change the calendar, going from fall to spring and cutting out winter altogether, I could get behind that in a big way. Wouldn’t it be great to fall asleep on the last day of fall and wake up on the first day of spring?

That’d be worth a little inconvenience.

Letters to the Editor Elliott deserves preservation I’m chiming in to offer moral and past eye-witness experiential support to Barbara Shamet’s (Oct. 18 letter) correct assessment of the plight of the Elliott.

I grew up along the banks of the Coquille’s Middle, North and East Fork rivers during the 1950s and 60s. As an immature, ignorant and growing child, I witnessed the endless cut/run raping of the Coos Bay Wagon Road Lands being hauled out past our poor folks shacks on Middle Creek, Coos Bay Lumber (now overgrown), CCC, Cherry Creek and Steel Creek roads. I also walked across Middle Fork log jams (to pick fern and “huck”), witnessed the total

spawning gravel stripping to bedrock of Cherry and Steel creeks during winter floods after upstream clearcutting. If you know Steel Creek, you know the disastrous results of that 1970s cut and the subsequent ODFW instream placement of concrete weirs (I assume taxpayer funded) to begin rebuilding the fish and riparian habitat.

Ironically perhaps, in the 1990s, as an adult, I did a graduate research paper detailing point by point comparisons of equivalent “Best harvest streamside Management Practices” of the Oregon State Forest Practices Act vs. the same federal standards applicable to logging harvests.

Having come out of a logging family and to state my research and experiential conclusion:

Oregon’s (and therefore private logging practices) were a joke compared with the federal standards that I enforced as a BLM road engineer. One of my duties was the O&C reciprocal rights of way administrator for private timber companies proposing road construction across public lands to access and clearcut private lands. Executing those duties often made me unpopular with the applicants.

I too, Ms. Shamet, agree that the profit motive is not a suitable, long term livability bottom line and that Oregon state and/or private control of the Elliott, as historical results repeatedly show, can be disastrous. This just as it was with CBWR lands and may be again if those lands come under those jurisdictions. Seems like I

read recently that the OFPA has been scrutinized recently — it doesn’t measure up to stopping the continuing disappearance of my state’s blessings.

Coos Bay highway is a crumpled notion

BY WIM DE VRIEND Some impractical notions of progress sound so plausible that they pop up again and again,exciting the innocent and the ignorant.

Building a new highway to Interstate 5 (The World editorial, Oct. 25) is such a notion. It sounds good to those who believe Coos Bay can still become an industrial powerhouse, or that running passenger trains between here and Eugene is a feasible business plan.

But it perfectly fits Will Rogers’ assessment of both Communism and Prohibition: “It’s a good idea, but it won’t work.”

The reason why was identified five centuries ago, when the Spanish king asked an explorer of Spain’s recently conquered Mexican colony what the place looked like. At a loss for words, the conquistador grabbed a piece of paper, crumpled it up and showed it to his majesty: nothing but mountains.

The crumpled mountains east of us are the reasons why no railroad or highway runs through them, and the existing roads to the interior, which aren’t even very straight,were built through valleys and river canyons to the north and the south of us. Those were the most feasible, most economical routes. Coos Bay has a serious scarcity of suitable valleys. Lower Coos River may look suitable, but

Your Views it peters out in a couple of miles.

From there on it’s crumple time.

John Shank, who is cited as an authority on the new road concept, talks about bonds and a toll road. Bonds are mere borrowing devices, and they have to be repaid; in theory, a toll road would enable such repayment, but we already know the chances of that.

In 1984 Shank’s notion was being promoted by another big talker, a port manager who had been hired to “develop” Coos Bay. Although this man, Frank Martin, had no idea how to fulfill his mission, he was an expert political hack from Chicago who kept the population confused and excited by means of a never-ending series of sensational “initiatives” that never panned out. One of those was a brand new “toll road” to Roseburg.

Martin claimed this road would shave 26 miles off the 86 miles to Roseburg, but according to the state highway engineers it would only save 11. Ignoring this, Martin told an even bigger whopper: that he had anonymous financiers in Chicago ready to build this road, since they were sure to make money by levying tolls. This was enthusiastically repeated by his

admirers, but it was bovine excrement. The toll road owners would have had to charge more than $30 per vehicle (in the 1980s!), and very few people would have paid that kind of money for saving 11 miles over taking Highway 42.

To be frank, I’ve never understood the perennial carping about highways 38 or 42. Depending on your driving style,you can get to I5 either way in about 90 minutes.

What’s so terrible about that?

And yet, that destination is the crux of the problem. The editorial talks about a new highway providing easier access “to our deep water port.” Let’s assume for a minute that we found some innovative way to build this new road — maybe by building a bridge 50 miles long, taller than any mountain — and we found some very naïve billionaire to pay for it. What would that achieve? In 2000/2002 the Port of Coos Bay paid $200,000 for two studies to assess the potential for freight imports to, and exports from, the interior of Oregon, through the Coos Bay harbor. Both studies confirmed that there isn’t enough export cargo inland to justify building a new dock in Coos Bay, and as to

imports, it’s far more economical to bring those into the Port of Portland. But the consultants merely confirmed what the port should have known. Even in Coos Bay’s heyday,when ten times more ships came into port than today, they arrived empty and left full — of strictly local lumber products.

Just because you have a waterfilled hole in the ground doesn’t mean the world will be lining up to import and export stuff; there has to be a reason. The same goes for building a brand new road. Of course, the Port’s expensive studies have gathered dust along with all the others that brought unwelcome news to an organization desperate to prolong its useless life; instead they chose to waste much time and money courting the Maersk container terminal that will never come.

Instead of sitting around wishing for new roads, we should accept that Coos Bay will always have a very limited industrial potential, and concentrate on making it a more attractive place for people to live. Do that, and growth will follow. Keep grasping at straws, and stagnation will continue.

State Season signals time to change batteries as well as clocks DEAR ABBY: Smoke alarms are one of the greatest fire safety success stories of our time. Since they were introduced in 1975, home fire deaths have been cut in half, even as the nation’s population has increased by half. But far too many people let the batteries in their smoke alarms wear out, or even remove them to avoid occasional nuisance alarms. And too many people — and their famiDEAR lies — pay for their neglect or poor judgment with their lives.

About 2,500 people a year die in structural JEANNE mostly PHILLIPS — residential -— fires.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than 60 percent of them — over 1,500 people — are dying in homes that had either no smoke alarms or no working ones. That’s more than three people a day.

This fall marks the 27th consecutive year the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) will partner with Energizer, the manufacturer of batteries, flashlights and lanterns, in the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program. Together, we’re asking people to test their existing batteries or install fresh ones in their smoke alarms in conjunction with the end of daylight saving time on Sunday, Nov. 2. It takes only a few minutes.

This will not only give families critical early warning time to escape a fire, but also helps to protect our firefighters by reducing the likelihood they’ll have to enter a burning home to rescue someone still inside.

Your daily column helps people improve their lives.

Please help me save lives by printing my letter. Thank you, Abby. — FIRE CHIEF G. KEITH BRYANT, IAFC PRESIDENT DEAR CHIEF BRYANT: You’re welcome. It’s tragic to read and hear about families who have died because of something that could have been so easily prevented.

Readers, I’m giving you notice.

Friday is Halloween, and Saturday night at bedtime is when you’ll be turning your clocks back to standard time. Please remember to add smoke detector batteries to your shopping list this week. That way, they’ll be at hand when we check our smoke alarms to ensure they are working properly.

No procrastinating!

Home fires happen more frequently during the cold winter months, so protecting yourselves and your families at this time of year is particularly important.

DEAR ABBY: I have a Tshirt I bought when I was younger and wilder. It has a filthy message on it, so I can’t donate it to charity, and I’m even embarrassed to throw it out. I’d hate to, because I have worn it only once. It seems wasteful to throw out something in such good shape.

What should I do? — MORE MATURE NOW DEAR MORE MATURE: People who wear T-shirts with filthy slogans send a message that they either agree with what it says or think it’s funny. Because the shirt no longer “speaks” for you, wear it when you’re alone in your house, or admit you made a mistake in buying it and turn it into a dust rag.

Astoria bridge restoration work to take until 2021

The Associated Press

A semi-truck hauling cement lies in two pieces after an Amtrak train struck it Tuesday.

Amtrak train hits, kills 19-year-old ALBANY (AP) — Linn County authorities say a 19year-old was struck and killed by an Amtrak train north of Albany, moments after a worker at a nearby plant warned him about fast trains.

Sheriff Bruce Riley says the man, Luke James Warner of Brownsville, was heading

for Albany Monday night to get gasoline.

Riley says Warner and 18year-old Bailey Anne Weinberg of Canby had run out of gas on Interstate 5, which runs near the tracks in that area.

The sheriff says Weinberg was walking with Warner, but she wasn't hurt.

Sheriff's Lt. Forest Burks told the Albany DemocratHerald the Georgia-Pacific Chemical Division nearby has a lot of equipment running, so the two may not have heard or seen the train.

Riley says the warning came from a Georgia-Pacific employee.

Oregon inmate severely beaten by another SHERIDAN (AP) — A federal inmate at a prison in Sheridan beat another prisoner so severely that the injured man has been hospitalized on life support, a union official said.

Officials ordered a lockdown at the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution 50 miles southwest of Portland after the Friday night attack, the Oregonian reported Monday.

Weekend visits were canceled.

Prison spokesman Kyle Olsen acknowledged the incident Monday in a short statement, saying all inmates were returned to their cells and the prison "remains secure."

Olsen did not identify either inmate.

The victim was beaten with a mop handle until it broke, then repeatedly kicked in the head, said Michael Meserve, a regional vice president for the American Federation of

Government Employees, Council of Prison Locals.

The victim was sitting at an email station in a housing unit when another inmate approached him from behind and clubbed him on the head with a mop handle, Meserve said.

After the handle broke, the attacker kicked his target in the head with his boot until at least one other prisoner restrained him, the union official said.

Fewer releases for overcrowding in Lane county EUGENE (AP) — Thanks to a tax increase, the revolving door doesn’t swing so freely these days at the Lane County Jail.

The county has released data from the first full fiscal year since voters approved a

property tax increase to restore staff and capacity at the jail. They show a marked decrease in prisoners released because of overcrowding.

About a fourth as many people were released for

capacity reasons as in the previous 12-month period: About 1,300 as compared with about 5,100.

Nobody among 144 inmates held for trial on the most serious charges was released.

ASTORIA (AP) — It’s taking a little longer than planned for the first phase of a project to paint and repair the Columbia River bridge at Astoria.

The Daily Astorian reports work began in 2009 on painting and replacing some steel parts. Workers have found some rivets that were less than half of their original size because of corrosion and constant movement of the bridge.

The initial phase of the work was originally planned to wrap up in 2012 but it will continue into next summer.

Two other phases involving trusses and supports will continue to 2021.

Another arrest in fatal Portland stabbing PORTLAND (AP) — Police have arrested another person in the stabbing death of a man in downtown Portland.

Police say 20-year-old Andrew William Metzner was arrested Tuesday for investigation of murder.

The Oregonian reports he’s the third person arrested in the Oct. 16 death of Marc Stephen Sundin.

Eighteen-year-old Wesley Lawrence Curtis was arrested Oct. 20 and remains jailed on a murder charge. A second man arrested the same day was released over the weekend. His lawyer said he was mistakenly accused.

The 43-year-old Sundin was a chef who lived in downtown Portland and went to a concert the night he was killed. He collapsed on a sidewalk across the street from City Hall.

Crash in SE Portland kills driver, dog PORTLAND (AP) — A car crashed into trees Wednesday morning at Parklane Park in southeast Portland, killing the driver and a dog.

KOIN reports police and firefighters found the man dead about 5:30 a.m. as they

STATE D I G E S T responded to the crash at the intersection of SE 151st and Main Street.

Crab fisherman fined over mink carcasses PORTLAND (AP) — The state has fined a crab fisherman $13,370 for dumping more than a ton of rotten mink carcasses into the Brookings-Harbor marina last spring.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality said Tuesday the fine was levied against fisherman Charles Vincent Case of Harbor for polluting state waters.

Pam Blake of the department's water quality program in Coos Bay says the port asked Case to get rid of the carcasses, which he was using for bait, because of freezer problems. He planned to dump them out at sea, but they ended up in the harbor.

Mushroom hunter finds skeletal remains GOLD BEACH (AP) — A mushroom hunter discovered a human skeleton in the woods along the Chetco River in southwestern Oregon.

The Curry County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday a search of the area turned up an ID, but the person named had never been reported missing. There were also a backpack, clothing and a bicycle nearby.

Deputies say Kory Leach of Klamath Falls found the skeleton on Sunday while hunting for mushrooms in area known as the Steel Bridge, about 20 miles east of Brookings, and notified the sheriff's office.

The remains have been turned over to a state medical examiner to see if a cause of death can be determined.

Deputies are also working on confirming the identity.

DILBERT

An ounce of prevention means money in the bank Today’s topic is not pretty, but unless you have $8,000 earmarked for dental care, it could prevent a lot of pain — both dental and financial.

Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gum tissue around the teeth, the fibers that hold the teeth in the jawbone and the bone itself.

Bacteria get caught between the teeth and also under the EVERYDAY g u m , CHEAPSKATE forming a sticky s u b stance called “plaque” t h a t h a rd e n s to form t a r t a r.

T h i s Mary leads to an infecHunt t i o n known as gingivitis. As it spreads deeper into the bone, it begins to decay and pus forms, which causes swelling, redness and bleeding. If not treated, the teeth will become loose and fall out.

Do I have your attention?

Great, because there are relatively inexpensive measures you can take to prevent this ugly situation and all of the very expensive treatments required to treat and (hopefully) reverse.

If you remove the soft plaque from the gum margin around the teeth, you will toughen the gum and prevent the disease. Here’s how to do that: 1. Floss between the teeth and under the gums. This is the only way to effectively remove plaque from between the teeth. If you have difficulty flossing, you may want to purchase a floss handle.

2. Rinse first. Yes, before you brush. You need to do this with a good dental rinse designed for pre-rinsing.

Plax, is the perfect choice because it is designed to be used before brushing to help loosen and remove more plaque than brushing alone.

3. Use a power brush such as an Oral-B Professional or P h i l l i p s S o n i c a r e t o e f fe c tively scrub and vibrate the s o f t p l a q u e a w a y . These devices are so amazing; it’s almost like getting a professional cleaning every time you brush. A power brush is well worth the investment.

4. Use a water flosser. If you hate to floss for any reason at all, you really need to think about investing in a Waterpik device. It is cool, fun to use and costs a fraction of a single professional cleaning.

5. Use a rubber tip stimula t or t o mas s ag e t he g um b e t w e e n t h e t e e t h . This toughens the gum and makes it more impervious to bacterial infection. Follow up by using a quality tongue cleaner for extra fresh breath.

6. Mouthwash. Finish up your daily routine with a good fluoride mouthwash.

7 . H ave a goo d p r ofe s sional cleaning at least annually. Yes, you do need to keep this appointment. And get ready. If you are routinely performing 1-6 above, the hygienist will be doing the happy dance while reaching for his or her gold stars. For sure you’ll deserve one for doing such a great job.

So what will all of this prevention cost? Dental floss is cheap. You can get yards and yards of it at any drug or grocery store for a buck or two.

Pre-rinse and gum stimulators are inexpensive as well.

Most rechargeable, batterypowered toothbrushes sell for $60 to $100. A Waterpik comes in under $60. A professional cleaning and exam varies across the country, but runs around $50 to $140.

Here’s a plan: Spend a little time and money now to prevent gum disease so you can spend your money on something else more enjoyable. To see more information and links to the products mentioned in this column, please visit www.everydaycheapskate.com/teeth.

Nation and World Obama says US can’t shy away from Ebola battle WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the United States can’t be seen as shying away from battle against Ebola and must support health care workers who are returning from the front lines in Africa.

Obama did not directly criticize quarantine policies for returning health care workers implemented in New York and New Jersey, but he said monitoring of those who come back from the fight needs to prudent and “based in science.”

“We don’t want to discourage our health care workers from going to the front lines and dealing with this in an effective way,” he said.

Obama said a robust response in Africa will stop the spread of the disease in the United States. He reminded Americans only two people have contracted the disease in the U.S. and both are now disease-free.

The president spoke to reporters from the White House after a phone call with one of those patients, nurse Amber Vinson, just after her release from the hospital.He also called a USAID team deployed to West Africa and said he plans to meet Wednesday with public health workers who have there or are planning to go to talk about how public policy “can support the incredible heroism that they are showing.”

“America cannot look like it is shying away because other people are watching what we do,” Obama said. “If we don’t have robust international response in West Africa, then we are actually endangering ourselves here back home. In order to do that, we’ve got to make sure that those workers who are willing and able and dedicated to go over there in a really tough job, that they’re applauded, thanked and supported.

IS ignores call to reunite WASHINGTON (AP) — AlQaida is using U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in Syria as a reason to extend olive branches to the renegade Islamic State group, saying the two should stop feuding and join forces to attack Western targets — a reunification that intelligence analysts say would allow al-Qaida to capitalize on the younger group’s ruthless advance across the region.

Analysts are closely watching al-Qaida’s repeated overtures, and while a full The Associated Press A crowd gathers to watch rescue operation at the site of a mudslide at the Koslanda tea plantation in Badulla reconciliation is not expected soon — if ever — there is evidistrict, about 140 miles east of Colombo, on Wednesday. dence the two groups have curtailed their infighting and are cooperating on the Syrian battlefield, according to activists on the ground, U.S. KOSLANDA, Sri Lanka (AP) yesterday I could not see a figure calculated after officials and experts who — A mudslide triggered by today — buildings, the tem- information was gathered monitor jihadi messages. monsoon rains buried scores of ple and shops had all from residents and relatives. workers’houses at a tea planta- disappeared.

Russians deliver space station cargo after US flop ATLANTIC, Va. (AP) — The company behind the dramatic launch explosion of a space station supply mission promises to find the cause of the failure and is warning residents to avoid any potentially hazardous wreckage.

Orbital Sciences Corp.’s unmanned Antares rocket blew up just moments after liftoff Tuesday evening from the Virginia coast.

Meanwhile, early Wednesday, the Russian Space Agency launched its own cargo vessel from Kazakhstan and

the spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station six hours later with 3 tons of food.

The smooth flight was in stark contrast to the Orbital Sciences’ failed launch, and had been planned well in advance of the accident.

The Orbital Sciences rocket was carrying a Cygnus capsule loaded with 21⁄2 tons of space station experiments and equipment for NASA. No one was injured when the rocket exploded moments after liftoff, shooting flaming debris down onto the launch

area and into the ocean.

Ground crews were ready to access the fire-stricken area of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility at daybreak Wednesday to search for accident debris.

The company’s Cygnus cargo ship was carrying 5,000 pounds of experiments and equipment for NASA, as well as prepackaged meals and, in a generous touch, freeze-dried Maryland crabcakes for a Baltimore-born astronaut who’s been in orbit for five months.

Sandy victims still need support LONG BEACH, N.Y. (AP) — Two years after Superstorm Sandy, New York and New Jersey residents are still dealing with mental health issues from the storm.

Officials say the cumulative stress of coping with the disaster and rebuilding homes and lives has left many traumatized.

Some children avoid showers because they remind them of rain. Adults suffer from an inability to track bills or paperwork.

NEWS D I G E S T Connie Livolsi of Long Beach says bad weather affects her. She says she doesn’t “feel safe anymore.”

Rebels enter Kurdish town to help in fight MURSITPINAR, Turkey (AP) — Syrian activists and Kurdish officials say a small group of Syrian rebels have entered the embattled border town of Kobani to help Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State extremists.

The group of around 50 armed fighters is from the Free Syrian Army, an umbrella group of mainstream rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Idriss Nassan, a Kurdish official from Kobani, said the group crossed to Kobani through the Mursitpinar border crossing with Turkey.

Their arrival early on Wednesday came several hours after a group of Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga troops arrived in Turkey, also on their way to Syria to help their Syrian Kurdish brethren fight IS militants.

Consumer confidence hits high in October WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumer confidence rebounded strongly in October, hitting a seven-year high as solid job gains raised expectations for economic growth.

The Conference Board said Tuesday that its confidence index climbed to 94.5, the strongest reading since October 2007 and the start of the Great Recession a few months later. This month’s gains reversed a revised decline to 89 in September from 93.4 in August.

Job gains and falling gasoline prices have helped to improve sentiment, despite muted economic growth in Europe and China that has fueled volatility in financial markets.

POVERTY Helping people find services Continued from Page A1 The task before the different groups was to work together as a unit to provide for basic necessities and shelter during the course of four 15-minute “weeks.” This required some members to interact with community service workers like a rent or utility collector or a social service caseworker, while others visited the bank administrator or child care center. Additional fictional roles, all of which were played out by volunteers sitting at tables set up around the room, included pawn broker, child care worker, pastor and police officer.

Interim pastor Gail Doering of First Presbyterian Church North Bend, who participated as a “utility company collector,” hoped the experience would help her better facilitate her church’s food cupboard program.

“We directly touch an impoverished population, and I wanted to learn ways we need to be responsible to that population,” Doering said.

For sixth grade Driftwood Elementary language arts teacher Georgia Weinblatt, the workshop was a chance to better grasp the challenges faced by some of her pupils.

“I hope to understand my students who come from homes poverty-stricken better so I can be more sensitive to the things they don’t have and the reasons why maybe they don’t have the tools to complete an assignment,” Weinblatt said. “In general there is more poverty in schools than we know about. We might get a figure percentage, but that’s just

looking at a number on a piece of paper.”

Weinblatt was assigned to play 13-year old student Patricia Perez, a member of the fictional “Perez” family, which also included fellow Port Orford music teacher Bruce Morganti as a twin brother and Jake Van Dam, a math and science teacher for the district, who was assigned as Pablo Perez, the 21-year-old older brother and breadwinner of the family.

Together the three used printed props representing various things like money, transportation vouchers and material objects such as a stereo and a gold ring, considered a family heirloom.

These were intended to be used in the process of making ends meet, whether that meant using a transportation pass to get to a job interview or pawning the ring for extra money to pay for rent, bills and other expenses.

While Friday’s participants tended to naturally make light of their “pretend” roles at certain points throughout the exercise, it also seemed clear that many gained a newfound awareness of not only the services out there but the challenges involved sometimes in accessing them.

“There were resources out there but we didn’t know where to turn first to maximize the benefits that were available to us or we went off in the wrong direction,” explained Jeanne Jazuit, an English teacher at Port Orford’s Pacific High School.

Jazuit also noted the challenges that the newly poor often experience.

“For people who don’t know how to access everything that’s available to them, time is a huge constraint. People say, ‘Oh, there’s stuff available,’ but how to allocate the time and the resources you have is a

skill you don’t know when you’re newly poor,” she said.

Lori Beamer, CoActive Connections’ director of operations and outreach, agreed that what participants commonly take away from the experience is a newfound awareness of not only the resources but the barriers that impoverished people experience when trying to access available services.

Beamer, who noted that the organization was working on getting funding to create another simulation specifically experience geared toward the challenges that rural populations face versus urban populations, also said she’s seen participants really impacted over the last three years she’s been facilitating the workshops.

“Some are even willing to go out and create change in the community,” she said.

The average poverty rate among residents in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties is 18 percent, while the state’s poverty rate is 17 percent. Nearly one in four children under 18 live below the poverty line in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties combined.

have value to all three presidents speaks to her character and work through all the minutiae.”

In her time at the college, Flores has been instrumental in changing the school’s IT infrastructure, an often overlooked task, key to the school’s development.

“As the Director of Integrated Technology, I’ve brought the college from barely a place with Internet to three locations, with IP servers and new software,” Flores said. “My leadership in the department brought the college to be a leader in technology, and I know how to plan and bring in funding.”

Flores believes experiences as a member of the Master Planning Committee and the Institutional Budget Committee, which was responsible for allocating $24 million for the general fund annually, can help achieve some of the council's 2014 top goals and priorities, which include promoting expansion of local business opportuni-

ties and maintaining sustainable budgets.

“Knowledge of the opportunities available through grant programs enabled me to secure additional funding from the Oregon Energy Trust to help this task, and I would work with the council to pursue such sources of outside funding for the city,” Flores said.

Though Coos Bay has fallen on hard times, Flores believes the council’s leadership has been influential in its recovery.

“I’ve really noticed lately that there seems to be a lot of activity at night and it really looks like a thriving community to me,” Flores said.

“You’ve got the First Friday Wine Walks, the Egyptian Theatre restoration project, and it just seems like they’ve done a great job in revitalizing the downtown area.”

Flores would like to see the council continue to look toward making Coos Bay a more inviting place for businesses to relocate, both in financial and aesthetic reasons.

“It’s kind of a strange issue, but with the flags along the waterfront, they took down all the country flags and replaced them with American flags,” Flores said. “They should put

them all back to make us a more welcoming city, because it is the International Port of Coos Bay, after all.”

While she has her own ideas for improving the lives of Coos Bay residents, Flores knows it will be her responsibility to listen to the community’s voice as representative of the people’s interests, a task not accomplished by just deliberating matters in council chambers.

“Meeting the community is a good way to do it,” Flores said. “The easiest way is reading editorials and listening to public comments, and it’s an interesting concept because going to meetings doesn’t give you an idea of what the real needs of the community are.”

While she may possess great technical and financial planning skills, Flores is particularly skilled at dealing with a multitude of egos and sticking to the task at hand, qualities desperately needed for politics, said former colleague Kathy Metzger.

“All around her is crazy, but she is the calming influence and things got done in a timely manner,” Metzger said.

“She’d be a wonderful asset, and a real person without any ties to anything who can provide a down-to-earth view.”

North Bend, have never left the city, and wanted to raise their son, Ryan, as a Bulldog.

Goll worked as a volunteer firefighter for the North Bend Fire Department for about 19 years, and he said it’s time to get back to serving the city he loves.

“I wanna feel like I’m really a part of this city,” Goll said.

“It’s my city, and I ain’t leaving.”

Goll said he almost ran for a council seat back in 2012, but the timing was not right.Now, he said he’s got enough support to try his hand at local government.

“I felt I have a lot of support with people asking for signs,” Goll said. “I wasn’t even going to put signs up.”

Goll said if he were elected, one of the things he would throw his support behind would be the Jordan Cove Energy Project.

The project would be a liquefied natural gas terminal located at the North Spit of Coos Bay. The project has been a controversial issue for North Bend and Coos Bay residents.

Goll said the project would be a tremendous accomplishment for the city.

“I think it would be a huge economy boost for the whole community,” Goll said. “It’s going to help boost the economy eightfold over.”

He said no matter how the election turns out, the city of North Bend is on the right track because everyone who is running cares about the city.

Voters will have Hayes, Garboden, Richardson and Goll to cast their vote for. The three with the most votes will be elected to the council.

“I may not know all of the rules and everything else,” Goll said. “But I do know what’s good for North Bend.”

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2014

Rematch follows the rules Coming out of Marshfield’s 29-28 overtime win against Siuslaw on Oct. 11, it was hard to put a stamp on which team was better.

Sure, the Pirates won, came away with the playoff berth, got a tidal wave of purple fans to storm the field. You know, the type of moment dads wax poetic about when they try to cajole their uncoordinated kids into sports mid-grade school.

But Siuslaw was short four starters the first game, something that didn’t seem to matter when they went up 28-21 in overtime and threatened the Pirates’ threegame win streak.

Marshfield’s stunner was the only overtime game in the Far West League all year and without question the most fun 48 minutes the league experienced in 2014.

The win cemented Marshfield’s first postseason berth since 2009. The loss went on to spark a two-game win streak for the Vikings against Douglas and Brookings-Harbor to earn a spot in the postseason.

Handicapping their rematch Friday is going to be a headache.

Both teams found their way into the Class 4A play-in round and the sequel has been fast tracked to three weeks after the first one, with Siuslaw coming back to Pete Susick Stadium, the site of the Pirates first win.

But the quesSPORTS tion remains: How did we get two Far West League teams in the same game?

How did we get so lucky to run this game back?

Anyone who has ever tried to have Oregon Activities GEORGE School Association rules ARTSITAS explained to them understands how convoluted they can be, but Marshfield’s and Siuslaw’s situation is pretty straightforward.

In the play-in round, everything is determined by power rankings to keep it simple. What happened was the Pirates and Siuslaw just happened to slot into each other, rankings-wise. Cut and dried.

The play-in round isn’t actually run by the OSAA. The Class 4A athletic directors decided to put it in to give more teams a shot at the 16-team playoff bracket in 2010.

Two teams in the same league can play each other in the play-in round, but the winner cannot play a team from their league in the Round of 16 (so no, neither of these teams can play North Bend in the next round. Other rounds, sure. State final? Sports writers can only hope and pray. But OSAA says ‘No’ to the first round).

By some magical power rankings coincidence, four play-in games pit league foes against each other.

Other than the South Coast showdown, Stayton at Philomath, Elmira at Sweet Home and Seaside at Banks will all be rematches of regular-season league games.

Naturally, all the teams know each other well. Very well.

When asked, here’s what some of the players said the pros were to getting a second chance at their rivals: “I feel confident in my team playing a league opponent. We beat them the first time.” — Marshfield fullback Chris Alonzo.

“We know what we are dealing with.” — Siuslaw quarterback Joseph Dotson.

“Having already played them, you don’t have to study as much as you would on a team you’ve never seen.” — Marshfield running back Rylee Trendell.

The fact of the matter is that Siuslaw will have four of its starters (Markel Bliss, Dylan Jennings, Preston Mitchell and Christian Jakobsen) who were out of the first game playing this time around.

Getting that type of artillery back, especially when the Pirates narrowly escaped a 14-point comeback by opting for a do-ordie two-point conversion, makes the rematch almost lose-lose for the Pirates.

“We beat them already and shouldn’t have to play them again,” Marshfield quarterback Andrew Sharp said when prompted to list cons.

Lucky for us, they do. It’s in the rulebook.

Pirates and Vikings face epic rematch Marshfield and Siuslaw meet in Class 4A play-in round at Pete Susick Stadium ■

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

COOS BAY — Sequels rarely live up to their predecessors, and this Friday’s installment of Siuslaw vs. Marshfield will shoot to be “Citizen Kane 2.”

The Class 4A football play-in round game at Pete Susick Stadium will be a rematch of the Far West League’s best game of the season, the 29-

28 overtime thriller on Oct. 11 at Marshfield.

The Pirates won that game in overtime with a two-point conversion that had quarterback Andrew Sharp swing right and plunge into the end zone for the win.

Friday’s game kicks off at 7 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students, and advance tickets can be purchased in the Marshfield athletic office from 1-4 p.m. today and 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday.

The victory over Siuslaw was part of the Pirates’ five straight wins before a humbling 44-14 loss at the hands of crosstown rival North Bend in the annual Civil War last Friday.

Marshfield plans on bouncing back.

“Our team doesn’t really get down, we just

get ready,” Sharp said. “We are really good about not getting down on ourselves and keeping it that way.

“We stay sad after the game, and then come Monday, we are worried about our opponent and use our loss as fuel. Plus we had a hard loss to Sutherlin (in Week 2, spurring the five-game win streak), look what happened after that. We bounced back better than ever.”

Friday also offers a chance at redemption for the Vikings. Siuslaw has been a perennial power in the Far West League, but struggled this year and needed to win the final two games to sneak into the play-in round.

Veteran Bobcats eye tourney

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

MYRTLE POINT — Tami Brown expected good things for her volleyball team this year.

Last year, Myrtle Point reached the playoffs, but had a tendency to come up short in big games or matches that went a full five sets.

This year, the Bobcats are Sunset Conference champions and will host Oakridge at 3 p.m.

Saturday in a playoff game for a spot in the Class 2A state tournament at Redmond.

“We’ve been on this trek for three years with this group,” Brown said. “It’s nice to see the

recognition that I could see last year. Now everybody else is able to see what I knew they had.”

The players had a hunch the Bobcats were going to be good and had a goal of winning the league since before fall practice started.

“We were talking about that since we went to summer camp,” said Nikki Miller, one of four seniors on the team and the squad’s libero.

Their first action on the court wasn’t encouraging — the Bobcats struggled in a preseason jamboree at Marshfield. But the players weren’t discouraged.

“I knew we could be pretty good,” senior Kayley Leslie said. “I have faith in my girls.”

Her optimism was spurred in part because the roster was filled with juniors and seniors.

“We have an old team,” Leslie said. “We’ve been with each other since we were little.”

The Bobcats have just eight varsity players, but it’s a strong mix, including one of the South Coast’s top setters in junior Morgan Newton and two powerful outside hitters — the undersized Leslie, who has great leaping ability, and fellow senior Grace Hermann, the state javelin champion with a fittingly strong right arm.

Three South Coast teams will host playoff volleyball matches Saturday for spots in their respective state tournaments.

Marshfield and Myrtle Point already had secured home games for winning their leagues and Coquille joined them when the Oregon School Activities Association rankings were finalized Tuesday.

In Class 4A, Inside Marshfield will host Astoria, Play-in soccer trying to earn a matchups set Page B2 spot in the state tournament at Eugene.

The winner will face either Henley or Valley Catholic in the quarterfinals at Lane Community College next Friday.

In Class 3A, Coquille will host Catlin Gabel on Saturday.

If the Red Devils beat the Eagles, Coquille most likely will face league foe Creswell in the quarterfinals at Lane Community College. The top-ranked Bulldogs face Jefferson on Saturday.

Myrtle Point will host Oakridge on Saturday for a spot in the Class 2A tournament at Redmond.

The Bobcats are trying to reach the state tournament for the first time since 2006, when the Bobcats finished fifth.

Reedsport is trying to get back to the Class 2A state tournament for the fifth straight year, but the Braves have a much tougher challenge, hitting the road to play Culver, a team that already beat the Braves twice this season.

Schools were working this morning to finalize times for Saturday’s matches.

Admission, set by the OSAA, is $6 for adults and $4 for students.

Runners seek state hardware Saturday

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

The South Coast has regularly had a strong presence at the state cross country meet, and this year should be no different.

Several local teams will be in the running for trophies in the meet at Lane Community College on Saturday.

The event kicks off with the Class 3A-2A-1A girls race at 10 a.m. and continues through the

afternoon.

All of the South Coast teams compete in the first four races. The Class 3A-2A-1A boys race is at 10:35 a.m., with the Class 4A girls at 11:15 a.m. and the Class 4A boys at 11:45. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for students.

“It could be a good meet again for the Central/South Coast,” veteran Siuslaw coach Chris Johnson said.

Johnson’s runners will be in the mix for individual and team hon-

ors — as often is the case — but they have a lot of company, starting with the first event.

Bandon’s girls, led by freshman Sailor Hutton and a number of veterans, likely will be among the top teams in Class 3A-2A-1A. Hutton went most of the season without a loss before coming up short in her two fastest races, first to a few of the best runners from Class 6A and 5A at the Country Fair Classic in Veneta and then to St. Mary’s standout

Marissa Dobry.

Bandon’s Aida Santoro is ranked third, right behind Hutton, and teammate Sarah Cutler has finished the season strong and has a shot at the top 10. As a team, the Tigers are chasing St. Mary’s and defending state champion Union.

Coquille’s Anna Sweeney and Gold Beach’s Avi Gaston, meanwhile, also will hope for a top-10 finish.

Resilient Bulldogs will host Seaside

From Page B1

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — The North Bend girls soccer team shouldn’t struggle with confidence as it enters the Class 4A play-in round this week.

The Bulldogs defense gave up a total of four goals in 13 games this year, while their offense scored an average of 10 goals in its wins.

Unfortunately, the Bulldogs didn’t score any goals in their regular-season finale at Brookings-Harbor, and the 1-0 loss left North Bend in second place behind the Bruins in the Far West League.

“It was hard right after,” Bulldog Damie Zomershoe said of the road loss. “Once you think about it you realize you’re ready for the next thing and come back stronger. It’s like our new season.”

North Bend’s new season begins with its chance at redemption and the Class 4A playoff bracket at Vic Adams Field against Seaside on Friday night.

Admission will be $6 for adults and $4 for students.

The Bulldogs went the furthest any North Bend girls soccer team had ever gone last year, making it all the way to the semifinal before falling to top-ranked La Grande.

But this year North Bend will have to struggle with a new opponent: resiliency.

Zomerschoe, a stellar freshman last year, missed nearly all the season this fall while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament she suffered while pole vaulting last spring.

A few other key players also missed part of the season with injury.

Still, North Bend made it through the league season with only a tie against Brookings-Harbor to blemish the record before the match last week in Brookings.

“They just got lucky,” junior Gabby Hobson said. “We

STATE From page B1 Bandon could bring home two trophies.

The boys’ team will be in the mix for a trophy with Union, East Linn Christian, Horizon Christian, and Oregon Episcopal. Catlin Gabel is the clear favorite in the team race.

“I’m excited to watch the boys run, just to see what they can do,” Bandon coach Brent Hutton said. “They have as good a shot at third as anybody there.”

Bandon won its district title last week and has soared this season behind the trio of freshmen Hunter Hutton, Sailor’s twin brother, and Josh Snyder and sophomore Zane Olive.

A muddy course also could be good for the Tigers, Brent Hutton said.

The Bulldogs will host a Class 4A play-in game this week. definitely dominated the second half of the game but they got their score in the first half and we couldn’t finish the score.”

The only goal for the Bruins game came on a set piece that fooled North Bend goalkeeper Kadie Forderer.

Hobson, who will be juggling three sports over the next week — she’s a kicker for the football team and the top runner on the Bulldogs cross country team on top of soccer — said the Bulldogs are ready to make another postseason run.

“We’re more focused now and we know what’s at stake,” she said.

The Bulldogs finished the season at 8-1-1 in the Far West League and 10-2-1 overall, with a 84:2 goal ratio in league.

North Bend can take solace knowing that other than dealing with the atrocious conditions in Brookings, their offense is usually lights out. The Bulldogs scored 10 or more goals six different times over the year.

“We were just unlucky putting in the back of the net (against Brookings-Harbor),”

Far West League first-teamer Emma Powley said. “It’s a little bit frustrating knowing we can score on other teams.”

The edge has shown in practice. Powley says that the team’s focus is revved up and practices are overall more intense.

North Bend coach Dustin Hood also employs a word of the day for his team to key in on, like “attack, composure or pressure.”

“It’s just focusing on one part of the game to build on from one day to the next,” Powley said.

Then there’s the ferocious

defense, led by 2013 Far West League MVP McKenzie Edwards.

The layoff hopefully won’t be an issue. Other than to the Bruins, the Bulldogs only loss was a 2-0 shutout at the hands of St. Mary’s back on Sept. 13, the last time they had a break over a week or more. (A loss to Philomath on the field turned into a victory because of a forfeit by the Warriors.)

“Mentally, I think the team’s ready,” Zomershoe said. “(Losing to Brookings) is just a little bump in the road. We’re still going.”

“It’s sort of a wild card at state with the condition the course is going to be in,” he said. “It sort of favors us. It’s not going to be a fast course.

We’re used to running in the rain.”

Pacific’s boys also are in the Class 3A-2A-1A race after finishing second in their district meet last week.

In Class 4A, the girls teams from Siuslaw and North Bend could both finish in the trophy hunt.

The Vikings are led by sophomore Celie Mans, who is expected to battle for the individual title with a trio of runners from Southern Oregon — Danielle Jantzer of Phoenix, Cindy Reed of Klamath Union and Lexi Healy of Henley.

Phoenix is the team favorite.

North Bend, led by junior Gabby Hobson and sophomore Hailey Finnigan, fin-

ished just behind Siuslaw at the Far West League district meet last week.

Marshfield’s boys, meanwhile, have had a phenomenal season after earning their first trophy in decades last year when they finished fourth.

“I can’t wait for state,” Marshfield senior Colby Gillett said after the Pirates won the district title last week.

Marshfield is ranked third behind Valley Catholic and Phoenix, but the Pirates have improved as Dakota Pittullo has recovered from a broken pinkie toe to get close to last year’s form, when he finished ninth at the state meet.

Junior Sawyer Heckard also has a shot at a top-10 finish for the Pirates.

Siuslaw has a shot at a trophy, as well. In a normal year, that wouldn’t be surprising, but this year has

been anything but normal for the Vikings.

Siuslaw knew it had the league’s top returning runner, Seth Campbell, who won the district title. But sophomore Jack Pickell was the Vikings’ only other returning varsity runner.

Brothers Jonathan and Isaac Griffes, a senior and freshman respectively, and sophomore Drew Rannow improved tremendously during the year, though, and all finished in the top 13 at the district meet to help Siuslaw beat North Bend for the league’s second state berth.

“Hopefully we can get another trophy,” Campbell said. “That would be cool my senior year.”

Because the Vikings edged North Bend out at district, the Bulldogs only got one runner to state, sophomore Michael Brown, who will compete as an individual.

Marshfield boys visit Philomath on Saturday THE WORLD Marshfield’s boys soccer team will face Philomath on Saturday in the Class 4A play-in round.

The Pirates and Warriors will play at 3 p.m. at Philomath for a spot in the 16-team bracket.

Runner-up Brookings-Harbor will host Newport.

Royals rout Giants to force Game 7 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A couple hundred fans stood behind the Royals dugout for more than a halfhour after the final out, screaming and waving white rally towels.

Bring on Game 7!

Yordano Ventura, a 23year-old rookie pitching with a heavy heart and the initials of late St. Louis outfielder Oscar Taveras on his cap, allowed three hits over seven stifling innings. Kansas City’s batters broke open the game with a seven-run second and battered the San Francisco Giants 10-0 Tuesday night to tie the World Series at three games apiece.

“This is what we all prepared for. This is why we play the game,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said.

As bouncers rolled by infielders and bloops dropped in front of outfielders, the raucous roar at Kauffman Stadium swelled

with every hit in the second and then got louder the rest of the night. Lorenzo Cain looped a two-run single — one of eight Royals to get hits in the seven-run burst — and Hosmer chopped a two-run double over shortstop.

“Guys stepped up in a big way tonight,” Cain said.

Jeremy Guthrie starts Wednesday night for Kansas City and Tim Hudson for San Francisco in a rematch of Game 3, won by Kansas City 3-2. Hudson, 39, will become the oldest Game 7 starter in Series history.

“We’re confident,” the Royals’ Billy Butler said.

“Jeremy, every time out, gives us a chance to win.”

Lurking is Madison Bumgarner, ready to pitch in relief after suffocating the Royals on a total of one run in winning Games 1 and 5.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy elected not to start him on

two days’ rest.

“This guy is human. I mean, you can’t push him that much,” Bochy said.

“He’ll be available if we need him, but to start him, I think that’s asking a lot.”

Kansas City can be comfortable in this bit of history: Home teams have won nine straight Game 7s in the Series since Pittsburgh’s victory at Baltimore in 1979,including the Royals’ 11-0 rout of St. Louis in 1985. And the Giants have lost all four of their World Series finales pushed to the limit.

“I had a very, very strong feeling that whoever won Game 6 was going to win Game 7,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We have to wait until tomorrow to see if my theory’s correct.”

Teams with the home-field advantage have won 23 of the last 28 titles, including five in a row. This Series has followed the exact pattern of the only

other all-wild card matchup in 2002, when the Giants won the opener, fell behind 2-1, took a 3-2 lead and lost the last two games at Anaheim.

“I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow and have some fun,” Hudson said.

There was a moment of silence before the game in honor of Taveras, the 22year-old killed in an automobile accident Sunday in the Dominican Republic. Ventura wrote “RIP O.T (hash)18” in silver marker on the left side of his cap and brought a Dominican flag to his postgame interview.

“From the minute that I found out about Oscar, I said this game was going to be dedicated to him,” Ventura said through a translator. “I prepared myself mentally and physically for this game, and I’m very proud to be a Dominican, and that’s why I brought the flag.”

“It’s a word (redemption) that has been brought up, but we are more focused on winning this game than worrying about the last one,” Siuslaw quarterback Joe Dotson said.

Dotson finished the first half with minus 3 yards on 10 carries the first time around against Marshfield. All together, the Pirates held the Vikings to minus 6 yards in first quarter and didn’t give up a first down until 5:12 remained in the first half.

“In the first half of that game everyone did their assignment and we played team football,” said Marshfield’s Rylee Trendell, who combined with Chris Alonzo to sack Dotson in the first half. “In the second half, once they got us on a couple, then guys started thinking they had to do someone else’s job, then they started getting big plays. A good team like Siuslaw that knows their playbook so well are gonna take advantage of mistakes.”

Siuslaw running back Billy Jones broke out in the second half, with 17 carries for 128 yards after gaining just 14 yards on four attempts in the first half.

Marshfield coach Josh Line gave credit to Siuslaw coach Tim Dodson for making a good halftime adjustment.

“He’s forgotten more football than I know,” Line said. “He knows what you’re going to do before you do it.”

Siuslaw will have starters Markel Bliss, Christian Jakobsen and Dylan Jennings back after missing the first bout. Dotson gets to also have versatile athlete Preston Mitchell back from injury to work with. Scott Gordon was the only target Dotson hit the first time around, grabbing seven catches for 98 yards in the first game.

“Having Preston back is

BOBCATS From Page B1 “I don’t like to be on the receiving end of her hits,” Leslie said.

Hermann is just one of five players able to put the ball away from the front or back rows, and said the team’s hitting is its biggest strength.

“We always have a hitter at every spot ready to go,” she said. “We always have somebody ready to hit.”

Senior Nicole Seals is a tall middle hitter and junior Christynn Evans has emerged to give Myrtle Point a solid second middle opposite her in the rotation.

Junior Lyndzi Robbins has been steady at the right side and is one of the team’s top servers. Miller was at the right side last year, but has shined at libero. Junior Bethany Ross provides depth as a defensive specialist off the bench.

Having so few varsity players led to some challenges for practice early in the season, with an inability to scrimmage.

“We do a lot of rapid fire, me hitting a bucket of balls at them,” Brown said.

But the smaller roster wasn’t all bad, Miller said.

“In ways, it was better,” she said. “We learned to work with each other.”

The team quickly shined when the season started.

Myrtle Point finished the regular season 20-4, with the only losses coming to very good larger schools — Marshfield twice, Hidden and Cascade Valley Christian.

Brown credited Myrtle Point athletic director Tony Jones for providing a tough schedule.

“We had a lot of great games,” she said.

great,” Dotson said. “It makes it easier on our receiver Scotty and harder on the secondary we have two great athletes that are both hard to defend.”

Marshfield defensive backs Ben Martin, DJ Herrington, Justin Cooper and Sharp hope to be able to cover the Vikings’ receivers long enough for defensive linemen including Tyler Post and Isaac Smith to get to Dotson.

On offense, the Pirates will hope for another big game from Sharp, who went 15-for-23 for 121 yards and a pair of touchdown tosses through the air and also had a touchdown run, a fumble recovery and the two-point conversion in the first game against Siuslaw.

Marshfield also will rely on the dual running attack of Matt McCallister and Trendell.

In the first game, McCallister was brilliant. He went for 175 total yards, (six catches for 38 yards and 21 carries for 137) and a ripping carry in the waning moments of the fourth to set up a possible game-winning field goal

by Kasey Banks. With no time outs, Banks was forced to rush the kick as the horn blew out, shorting the uprights by a few yards and ending regulation in a stalemate.

Trendell only had seven carries for 36 yards the first game against Siuslaw, but the junior has all five of the Marshfield touchdowns the past two games, rushing for three against South Umpqua and a pair in the Civil War. “It feels great that the coaches believe in me enough to put me into those situations to score,” Trendell said.

“It’s going to be another great battle.”

Marshfield is 0-6 in its previous six postseason games. The Pirates haven’t made the playoffs since 2009 where they lost to Hermiston in the first round. Their last home playoff win was against Grants Pass in 2001

The Bobcats won a tournament at Taft, beat Del Norte of California and Class 4A Klamath Union at the Hidden Valley tournament and nearly took a game from Marshfield during the Pirates’ invitational.

And the team ran the table in the Sunset Conference, taking the title away from champion three-time Reedsport.

The second match with the Braves also showed part of Myrtle Point’s maturity this year. Reedsport stretched the Bobcats to five games, which last year would have spelled trouble.

“This year, we mentally stay strong,” Miller said.

The Bobcats beat Reedsport again during the league tournament Saturday, including coming from eight points down in one of the games.

“Against Reedsport last year, we could never finish,” Seals said. “This year, we came back.

“We fight for it. I think we’re a lot more confident this year.”

The result has been the first league title in Brown’s coaching career that has included 10 years as a head coach between Bandon and Myrtle Point.

While Brown said it’s nice to finally win league after advancing to the playoffs a number of times at both schools, she’s more thrilled for the players and hopes they get to experience the state tournament.

“I’m excited for them,” she said. “I do believe we belong (at Redmond).”

Getting the playoff game at home should help.

“It’s really important,” Hermann said, adding that she hopes to see a big crowd Saturday.

“I’m so excited,” she said.

“I’m ready to go to state.”

Romo’s status in question IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas owner Jerry Jones says quarterback Tony Romo’s status could be a game-time decision against Arizona on Sunday coming off his third back injury in 18 months.

Jones said on his radio show Wednesday that Romo’s injury would not end his season.

The owner said his 34year-old quarterback’s avail-

ability might come down to pain tolerance after sustaining a back contusion on a third-quarter sack in a 20-17 overtime loss to Washington on Monday. Romo missed about a quarter before returning.

Jones reiterated that the injury isn’t related to a herniated disk that led to surgery after a game against Washington last December.

Sports Jordan, Hornets turn the corner

Spurs open with win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker had 23 points, including a big 3-pointer late in the game, and the San Antonio Spurs opened their title defense with a thrilling 101100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

Manu Ginobili added 20 points for San Antonio, which shot 53 percent from the field. Tim Duncan had 14 points and 13 rebounds for his 14th double-double in a season opener, the most by any player in NBA hist o r y , according to Elias Sports.

Monta Ellis scored 26 points for Dallas, and Dirk Nowitzki had 18.

Devin Harris finished with 17 points.

Following a video recap of the 2014 season narrated by actor and Spurs fan Samuel L. Jackson, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver presented San Antonio’s staff and players with their championship rings. The inscription inside the ring was “Good to Great,” which was coach Gregg Popovich’s mantra last season.

After Nowitzki gave Dallas a 100-98 lead with a fade-

Parker was 4 for 4 from long range, matching a career high for 3s in a game.

“It was a great basketball game, you can’t kick off the season with a better game than this for the fans — there’s no way,” Dallas coach Carlisle said.

Rick “Unfortunately, the slim margins of winning and losing are all that anybody remembers. If we get one more stop, one more basket then we’re all in here singing a different tune. That’s the world we live in the Western Conference.”

Rockets 108, Lakers 90: James Harden scored 32 points, Dwight Howard added 13 points and 11 rebounds before getting into a shouting match with Kobe Bryant, and the Rockets

spoiled Bryant’s return to the Lakers.

Bryant’s comeback game got even worse when Lakers rookie forward Julius Randle brokehis right leg in the fourth quarter, leaving his NBA debut on a wheeled stretcher. The seventh overall pick out of Kentucky collided with two Rockets under the basket and landed awkwardly.

After his own Lakers debut ended somberly, coach Byron Scott described the scene as “heartbreaking.”

“The last three or four minutes, obviously we weren’t thinking a whole lot about basketball,” Scott added. “We were just thinking about Julius, and hoping he’s OK.” Bryant scored 19 points in his first game back at Staples Center after missing most of the Lakers’ worst season in a half-century with two major injuries.

Trevor Ariza and Terrence Jones scored 16 points apiece for Houston.

Pelicans 101, Magic 84: Anthony Davis had 26 points, 17 rebounds and nine blocks, leading New Orleans to the season-opening win.

Ryan Anderson, coming back from surgery on a herniated disk that cost him more than half of last season, scored 22 points. The Pelicans’ new 7-foot center, Omer Asik, had a doubledouble with 14 points and 17 rebounds.

The tandem of Davis and Asik dominated the interior.

They combined for 16 offensive rebounds, and the Pelicans finished with 32 second-chance points. Davis tied a career high for blocked shots, and Asik’s five blocks equaled his career best.

Tobias Harris scored 25 points for Orlando, while Nikola Vucevic added 15 points and 23 rebounds.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael Jordan is learning how to win without scoring a basket.

His Charlotte Hornets are winning and enter the season with high expectations.

Jordan appears to be finally changing the losing culture around his franchise.

Looking relaxed, the sixtime NBA champion smiled Tuesday as he talked about how gratifying winning a seventh would be — as if he knows something the rest of the NBA doesn’t.

Jordan said helping the Hornets win their first NBA title as an owner is something that drives him in his post-playing career. The Hall of Famer said it would be more rewarding because it’s tougher being an owner than it is being a player.

“I can impact the game in shorts and tennis shoes,” Jordan said at a press conference at the team’s downtown arena. “When I had those on it was easy to prove people wrong. It’s hard to do that now when I have a suit on. I have to rely upon other people understanding my message and my focus.”

But he can take some satisfaction knowing he has the Hornets heading in the right direction.

Charlotte is coming off a 43-39 season and Jordan hopes that with Lance Stephenson joining Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker, the building blocks are in place for his small-market team to make a run at the title.

Jordan took over as the Hornets primary owner in 2010 and made a commitment shortly thereafter to “strip things down.” For him, that meant breaking up a playoff team he felt was decent, but not good enough to win a championship. So Charlotte jettisoned players like Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson and began the process of rebuilding.

It meant suffering through a 7-59 season, the worst in NBA franchise history.

“That is tough for a competitor like me,” Jordan said.

“But it left me even more determined to turn thing around.”

Things seem to be headed in that direction — with Jordan often helplessly sitting courtside in a suit.

Mark Price, who played 12 seasons in the NBA, said he can relate to how hard it is for Jordan not to be able to throw on a No. 23 jersey and take the floor.

“Mike wouldn’t have achieved what he achieved in his life if he hadn’t been a super competitive person,” said Price, now an assistant coach for the Hornets. “You don’t lose that. So he’s trying to have an impact as an owner.”

Trying to find how to do that has led to criticism of Jordan — that his hands-on involvement has resulted in poor personnel decisions and losing records.

But the Hornets recent success and promising outlook is vindication for Jordan.

Sports Stanford revs up offense STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Sick of losing and on the verge of irrelevance in the Pac-12 race, David Shaw did what some thought he never would.

Shaw scrapped Stanford’s model of offense for a spread-style approach more in line with the rest of the conference. The Cardinal crushed Oregon State 38-14 last Saturday with fly sweeps, read-options and multiple wide receiver sets, sometimes even looking like their rivals to the north in a no-huddle offense.

The sudden and surprising change gives the Pac-12’s marquee matchup this week quite the twist.

The Cardinal (5-3, 3-2) visit fifth-ranked Oregon (71, 4-1) on Saturday night, and the winner will move into first place in the league’s North Division. Stanford has dashed the Ducks’ national championship hopes the past two seasons on the way to Pac-12 titles and Rose Bowl berths, ending quarterback Marcus Mariota’s Heisman Trophy chances each time.

But those program-defining victories followed another blueprint, notably a ground-and-pound run game that controlled the line of scrimmage and the clock.

The formula limited Mariota’s minutes and helped Stanford’s defense — the most efficient in the nation this season — quiet one of the country’s highestscoring offenses.

“We just have to do whatever our guys can do,” Shaw said. “If we can get like we did last year and get to our big personnel to be able to run the ball efficiently, hey, that’s great, we can do that. If we have to spread it out and run and throw and move the football, hey, we have to do that. Nothing is off limits to us.”

Shaw seemed reluctant to make such a dramatic change previously. Losses to Southern California, Notre Dame and Arizona State left him fed up and frustrated, though, especially given the talent on his team.

So Shaw searched deep in his playbook and created a few new tricks last week, partially abandoning the power running game that played a leading role in transforming the program from an afterthought to an unlikely juggernaut under Jim Harbaugh.

“What we had been doing wasn’t good enough,” Shaw said.

The Cardinal passed more to offset a young offensive line that has struggled to block in the run game. They ran more to the outside than

Stanford's Christian McCaffrey, left, celebrates with Ty Montgomery after scoring a touchdown against Oregon State during the first half Oct. 25, in Stanford, Calif. between the tackles because the running backs are faster and shiftier than the physical bulldozers on past teams.

And they opted for a nohuddle offense, at times, to speed up the tempo for quarterback Kevin Hogan — who seems to thrive in a quicker pace.

Stanford also created more touches for top playmaker Ty Montgomery, promising freshman Christian McCaffrey and deep-ball threat Michael Rector. And it spread the ball around more to utilize all of the team’s threats, including wide receivers Devon Cajuste and Jordan Pratt and a trio of blossoming tight ends.

What players found is the offense actually got simpler, allowing them to think quicker and play faster.

“We recognized that something needed to change,” Hogan said, “and I think it changed for the better.”

The quick-strike

approach is still in its infancy, though, and the sample size is limited. What worked against an overmatched Oregon State team might not work against an Oregon team that can score as fast as anybody.

Stanford upset the Ducks 17-14 in overtime two years ago in Eugene. Last season, the Cardinal led 26-0 in the fourth quarter before holding off a frantic rally to beat Oregon 26-20 at Stanford Stadium.

Both are the lowest-scoring outputs the past two years for Oregon, which is averaging 45.5 points this season, tied for fifth-best in the nation. The Cardinal’s common thread was playing keep-away — Stanford held the ball for 42 minutes last year and 37 minutes in 2012.

With a change in personnel, those game plans may not be an option this season.

“You have to be able to do it in different ways,” Shaw said, “because you’re not

always the same team as you were last time.”

Shaw insists that Stanford is not changing its core philosophies of running the ball and playing physical on both sides. How the Cardinal reach those goals on offense may just be different, he said, noting that fly sweeps, receiver screens and readoptions can produce yards on the ground just as well as running between the tackles.

“The window dressing might be a little different,” center Graham Shuler said.

“But at the end of the day, the offensive linemen want to move their guys from Point A to Point B. We want to ram the ball up in there or throw the ball over their heads. The mission’s the same: we got to win.”

NOTES: Shaw said free safety Zach Hoffpauir will not play and nose tackle David Parry is questionable against Oregon. The injuries for both have not been disclosed.

CIRCUIT COURT OF OREGON COOS COUNTY Probate Department CASE NO. 14PB0238

BRIDGE Joey Adams, a comedian and columnist, said, “The computer can do more work faster than a human because it doesn’t have to answer the phone.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could phone your friendly bridge pro when you have a problem at the table?

How would you analyze the bidding in this deal, and what is West’s best opening lead against four spades doubled?

When East opened one diamond, South would have liked to describe his

two-suiter immediately, but he could not. A two-diamond Michaels Cue-Bid would have shown both majors, and an Unusual Two-No-trump overcall would have indicated hearts and clubs (the two lowest-ranking unbid suits).

West made a negative double to show four hearts (or perhaps five with insufficient strength to respond two hearts). North cue-bid two diamonds to indicate a maximum pass with at least three-card spade support. Then East jumped to three hearts, which was a slight overbid. Now South decided to keep his club suit hidden. And East’s rebid persuaded West to double four spades.

When the opponents bid game and your side has the balance of power, a trump lead is usually best — as it is here (but admittedly tough to find). After winning the first trick, West shifts to a diamond. South will win with dummy’s ace, play a club to his ace, and ruff a club, but East can overruff and return his last trump, which results in down two.

If West leads a diamond, South just has to be careful to ruff the first club with dummy’s spade eight or 10. Then he can escape for down one.

fected by the proceedings in this estate may obtain additional information from the records of the court, the personal representative, or the attorney for the personal representative.

ORAL BIDS CASH ONLY.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2014 Sharing your life experiences will help others avoid mistakes.Your sensitivity will comfort those in need, resulting in a boost to your popularity. Recognition and advancement are heading your way and will enable you to try for goals you once thought unattainable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t judge others.You will receive valuable information from an unlikely source.

A person who is often disagreeable will have the knowledge and answers you are looking for.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t offer to help a stranger with a good sob story. Allowing someone to take advantage of you will lead to regret and loss. Look out for your interests.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your steady approach will be difficult to maintain.If you make a snap decision or change of plans, let your family know to avoid putting any of them in an awkward position.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be cautious when sharing personal secrets.Private information has a way of becoming public knowledge if you confide in the wrong person. Be smart and avoid embarrassment.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Get involved with events or organizations that are close to your heart. The more you believe in something, the more enthusiasm and energy you will offer.

Expect to meet people who share your

SPONSORED BY

ideals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Think before you speak.If you are feeling overly sensitive, you may take something the wrong way.Listen carefully and refrain from making a lofty response.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Surround yourself with people who are encouraging and positive, and strive to be the same.The value of close, meaningful relationships cannot be denied or treated carelessly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Touch up your surroundings.

Renovations, remodeling or redecorating will add value to your property, or at the very least make you feel good.You can save money by doing the work yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — This is not the best time to get into a deep conversation. Plan some solitary activity where you can collect your thoughts before you speak your mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — It’s worth your while to go the extra mile at work.

Dependable, hardworking people are not always easy to find, and your efforts will be noticed and rewarded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An outgoing and colorful someone will take you by surprise. Don’t be too quick to think this person has all the answers. If something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably false.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Little problems can grow out of proportion quickly. Electrical, plumbing or equipment concerns should not be taken lightly. If you are in doubt, have someone check it out.
