Shelby Wilson, a sixth-grader at Sunset Middle School, braids the straps to her portfolio during Studio to School on Nov. 5. Studio to School is a collaboration between the Coos Art Museum and Sunset Middle School that is funded by a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. The program aims to expand the school's art curriculum and eventually expand to other creative outlets, such as theater.

COOS BAY — A former Coos Bay teacher couldn’t prove age discrimination was a factor in the school district’s not hiring her for another teaching position two years ago.

U.S. District Court of Oregon Chief Judge Ann Aiken dismissed Laura Bellinger’s age discrimination lawsuit against the Coos Bay School District on Nov. 5.

This all began five years ago, when Bellinger started substitute teaching for Millicoma Intermediate School. Principal Travis Howard then hired her as a temporary, full-time sixth grade teacher for that school year. But by the end of the year, Bellinger received the lowest performance evaluation score of any Millicoma teacher, according to court documents.

She was still rehired for another temporary teaching position at Millicoma in November 2010, which lasted through that school year.

In 2012, two permanent teaching positions opened up at Millicoma in fifth and sixth grades.

Bellinger, 51 at the time, applied for both. Howard didn’t submit her application for the sixth grade position (the fifth grade teacher returned to the post) to the district’s hiring committee, as Bellinger didn’t have an advanced degree and hadn’t completed continuing education since she got her bachelor’s degree in 1997.

In the end, a 37-year-old and a 29-year-old were offered the job. Both had master’s degrees and years of full-time teaching experience, though they eventually turned down the offers.

The job was reposted and Bellinger reapplied, but Howard again didn’t forward her application to the hiring committee. A 28-year-old applicant with a master’s degree and four years of full-time substitute teaching experience was hired.

In September 2012, Bellinger filed a complaint with Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries. The bureau said there was evidence the district didn’t hire Bellinger based on her age.

In August 2013, Bellinger filed her age discrimination lawsuit against the district.

“I still get a little teary-eyed sometimes,” says O’Shea, who was a three-time state champion at Harrisburg High School from 1978 to 1980. “Something happened, and it changed my life. But I don’t necessarily think it affected my life in a bad way. I’m extremely lucky with the way my life has been.”

EUGENE (AP) — He is standing in the east end zone of Autzen Stadium, near the spot where he could have lost his life 30 years ago.

“I think he could have shot me if he wanted to. I think he was just telling me to get back inside,” Rick O’Shea says.

A standout University of Oregon wrestler back then, O’Shea was hit by shrapnel from a sniper’s bullet at Autzen on Nov. 12, 1984.

Yes, Rick O’Shea, now 52, was injured in the neck, legs and buttock by a ricochet bullet, and many have never let him forget the pun on his name.

“They call him ‘Ricochet Rick,’” said Ron Finley, the former UO wrestling coach who in 1983 helped guide O’Shea to a Pac-10 Conference wrestling championship at 150 pounds.

WASHINGTON — A top U.S. health official says long-anticipated clinical trials of a possible Ebola vaccine will start soon in West Africa, as the global response to the outbreak took on added urgency with new cases in Mali and reports that the death toll has surpassed 5,000.

Results of an initial U.S. safety study proved promising enough that next-step testing should begin in Liberia and Sierra Leone by January, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health told a Senate committee on Wednesday.

If those new studies go well, “we could know by the middle of 2015 whether or not we have an effective vaccine,” said Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The news came as the Senate Appropriations Committee began evaluating the Obama administration’s request for $6.2 billion in emergency aid to fight Ebola.

While the number of infections is slowing in some parts of West

The cold front that drove temperatures to minus-31 in Wyoming is also wreaking havoc in the Willamette Valley.

Africa, the World Health Organization said cases still are surging in Sierra Leone. Worse, nearby Mali on Wednesday reported three deaths linked to Ebola and mobilized to stop the virus’ spread.

“That cluster has to be controlled or we’re going to have another front,” warned Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The spending request includes $4.64 billion in immediate money to fight the epidemic in West Africa while at the same time shoring up U.S. preparedness. The domestic work includes such things as continuing training so far given to 250,000 nurses and other U.S. health workers on how to safely handle any future patients, designating hospitals capable of handling Ebola or other serious infectious diseases, and creating a national stockpile of protective equipment.

Some of the money also would go to setting up health systems in other vulnerable countries so they could spot similar outbreaks early SEE EBOLA | A8

Ask Us About Dental Implants!

Did you know?

Did you know that titanium was first used for implants by dentists?

It’s true! In 1930’s the metal titanium was found to be bio-compatible, and within 20 years it was used to make dental implants. Orthopedists learned about the success that dentists were having, and started testing it,too.

Before long it was the metal of choice for knee and hip joint replacements.

Titanium is still the standard of care.

We’ve come a long way! With excellent dental care from Dr. Strong, you will protect your teeth, look great, and feel even better. With dental implants, you can now keep your smile for a lifetime! We’re here to help!

A development council that works Our view The South Coast Development Council seems to have finally found its stride.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Back in September we told the story of Carbon County, Utah, and how those folks were finding innovative ways to rebuild their economy. One of our favorite ideas of theirs was forging partnerships with neighboring counties to find solutions to infrastructure and transportation issues and obtain new funding sources.

This week we found out the same idea had already been in the works right here in Coos County.

The South Coast Development Council, in partnership with NeighborWorks Umpqua and the Curry Watershed

Partnership, recently was awarded a $375,000 grant to use over the next two years to help local meat and fish producers get what they need to sell their products closer to home. The effort could result in stronger food producers, more jobs and a new boost to our economy.

The grant comes from WealthWorks, a group of nonprofits and agencies that support economic development. The Ford Family Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, Northwest Area Foundation, University of Oregon and Oregon State University Extension Service and the Oregon Prosperity

Initiative all provided funds.

No one knows exactly what the end result will be, but it could be anything from helping existing businesses expand to creating a whole new business. The point will be to help those ranchers and commercial fishers market more of their own product here on the South Coast instead of relying on food processors far away.

And this money carries strings, since WealthWorks will want progress reports throughout the life of the grant. Additional insurance that something comes of the effort is in the partnership

itself; Coos, Curry and Douglas counties all need to perform or risk the stigma of failing on their end of the agreement.

By all accounts, this is the largest project the development council has ever engaged in, and has the potential to be the most successful thing it has ever done. This is what council leaders promised us all when they decided to remake the organization a year ago.

After 14 years of broken promises and lackluster performance, South Coast Development Council now appears to be on track and living up to its mission.

Campaign ads to look forward to One of the great things about the recent election is that we won’t have to see another political commercial ... for at least two or three months. That’s when the campaign ads for the 2016 election will begin.

CNN reports that the two major parties spent $4 billion this year on Senate and House races, most of it on television advertising. That doesn’t count money spent on local contests.

Now let’s just think: How many nonpolitical TV commercials have you seen in your life? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Yet you rarely see a car commercial that makes you angry, or an ad for a dishwashing liquid that makes you want to Elvis your TV. Most of us will even suffer through adult diaper commercials without feeling strongly about them one way or another.

So why can’t politicians make campaign commercials that don’t leave us screaming at the TV? Think of all the airline ads you’ve seen.

They’re all competing against one another, but they rarely mention the competition. Their ads are all pretty much the same: You see a plane flying, it lands in some beautiful Shangri-la — a place you would love to visit if you had the money. Then a bunch of happy, smiling passenJIM gers get off the plane MULLEN looking as if they had just stepped out of a relaxHumorist ation booth.

You watch the ad, but you don’t stand up and yell, “That’s a lie! Those people just spent 10 hours on the tarmac and the toilets overflowed and not one of them is going to get their luggage! How can they get away with putting that kind of stuff on television? There oughta be a law. I want equal time! I will never fly that airline again!”

Since the biggest difference between most airlines is the color of the flight attendants’ uniforms, you have to wonder why they advertise at all. You just buy the cheapest seat you can get. Who cares what name is painted on the side of the plane?

How many fast-food commercials have you seen where the fast-food restaurant is spotless, and the staff is friendly and smart enough to make correct change? Yet we all know from experience that that is stretching the truth.

Shampoo and beer commercials aren’t really selling shampoo and beer. They’re selling you a better life. Use this shampoo and men will fall at your feet; drink this beer and a supermodel will be your girlfriend and you’ll live on a beach in the Bahamas.

But political commercials aren’t just annoying, they are offensive. Even to their supporters! Every time the guy I liked ran an ad, I would think, “Is that the best he can do? Nobody’s going to fall for that crap.

Why doesn’t he say this? Why doesn’t he say that? Doesn’t anyone in his campaign office watch TV? Have they ever seen a commercial before?”

I figure if your commercial offends your supporters, you’re doing it wrong.

Why don’t politicians do what the airlines do? Show the candidate’s plane flying through the air. It lands in a beautiful place — the future — where Arabs and Israelis walk down the street holding hands, everyone has a high-paying job, no one pays any taxes, there are no potholes, cars run on used coffee grounds, all teens are welladjusted and happy, stocks never go down, there are no drug addicts, all children behave, schoolteachers get paid like basketball players and basketball players get paid like teachers, all marriages last forever, lawyers don’t file frivolous lawsuits, and CEOs give their employees a raise before they give one to themselves.

Wouldn’t you want to buy some of that?

Letters to the Editor Feds see us all on the Internet Have you ever wondered why we can look up just about anything on the Internet without much policing? You can search for everything from “Where can I buy an AR15?” to “How do I make a cooker bomb?” pressure (although I wouldn’t recommend that last one now).

The other day I ran across one man’s theory that was scary. He said, “The goal of wholesale surveillance ... is not, in the end, to discover crimes, but to be onhand when the government decides to arrest a certain category of the population. And because Americans’ emails, phone conversations, web searches and geographical movements are recorded and stored in perpetuity in government databases, there will be more than enough evidence to seize us should the state deem it necessary ... .”

The head of the National Security Agency has already admitted that they keep everything in a big “haystack.” Then they can pluck out whatever they want, when they want. I assume

it’s all kept in that giant computer over in Utah.

I often wonder why the FBI didn’t head off the Tsarnaev brothers, the Boston bombers.

There were plenty of clues as to their intentions, and now there are plenty of conspiracy theories which you can find online.

I think that local woman who got an anonymous letter, decorated with a hammer and sickle, should turn it over to the FBI as a hate crime letter. Let’s see how good the Feds are!

CG barbed wire?

Look next door I read with interest the discussion concerning the fence that guards the Coast Guard station on U.S. Highway 101.

I drive by that area on a regular basis and have never noticed the fence in question until now. The

fence looks appropriate for its designated purpose.

What has concerned me for the 12 years that I’ve lived here is the property south of the Coast Guard station with the rotting dock, the broken down fence and the overgrown weeds. That property is a complete eyesore and should be an embarrassment to the community. Also, note that it is directly across the street from the Red Lion Hotel.

Someone must be responsible for it and should be required to clean it up. Let’s stop picking on the Coast Guard and clean up our act.

There’s something special about paper Interesting that the tech website CNET has started publishing an old-fashioned magazine — you know, on paper, like Time and Life. To complete the retro circle, CNET’s periodical is carrying print ads for Ford, Gillette and other brands already at home in the “Mad Men” era.

But wasn’t the digital technology that CNET touts supposed to do away with paper?

Parent company CBS Interactive explains the seeming contradiction: The magazine simply gives people yet another way to get at CNET’s wares.

Seems there’s still something special about paper. After all, Wired magazine, aimed at the techno-literate, has always put out a paper edition — and a handsome one at that.

The Web is just electrical signals in the air. Paper is real estate. A paper magazine is an object that won’t vanish with a keyboard click or if the battery dies. At the airport newsstand, it announces its existence to all who pass by.

As a platform, paper is and accessible “portable,

affordable,” a story about CNET’s magazine cutely notes.

Studies suggest that paper is better than a screen for reading comFROMA prehension and r e t a i n i n g HARROP information. Columnist We also read faster on paper.

Why? Our brains regard text as a “tangible part of the physical world,” Ferris Jabr writes in Scientific American. Books have a topography that screens don’t.

“Turning the pages of a paper book is like leaving one footprint after another on the trail — there’s a rhythm to it and a visible record of how far one has traveled,” according to Jabr.

And he quotes Anne Mangen, a researcher at the University of Stavanger in Norway, as follows: “The ease with which you can find out the beginning, end and everything inbetween and the constant connection to your

path ... might be some way of making it less taxing cognitively, so you have more free capacity for comprehension.”

An article in The New York Times focuses on the debate over reading stories to children off a tablet screen versus out of a paper book. Don’t screens offer a superior experience? After all, Elmo and Grover talk and jump around on screens. They stay put on paper.

The conclusion among child development experts is that paper is better. A study at Temple University finds that young children comprehend more than when read to from a screen. It may have something to do with the gadget’s getting more of the attention than the literature.

And forget about putting the kid in charge of the iPad. The back-and-forth conversation with the elders is what helps children develop, experts say.

Another concern is that children’s e-books may come embedded with games and other distractions — just like adult ebooks.

On the subject of paper’s special powers, there’s a wildly popular show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art — of paper cutouts no more complicated, technically, than paper dolls. It helps, of course, that the guy with the scissors is an artistic genius named Henri Matisse.

Matisse cut simple shapes of swimming women, dolphins, sea plants and other forms from pieces of paper painted in bright solid colors. He then pinned or pasted them onto paper or a canvas in arrangements neither you nor I would ever have thought of.

(You can see the pinholes and places where the paper tore.)

The exhibition includes this looping movie of old Matisse in his studio wielding a big pair of scissors and showing his svelte female assistants — oddly, in evening dresses and high heels — where to place them.

Most famous for his oil paintings, Matisse spent his last years cutting paper shapes. There’s something special about paper.

State Man is slow to join wife and daughters after move DEAR ABBY: My four girls and I recently moved from Texas to Florida to help out my in-laws. My husband, “Jeff,” made a big deal about not wanting to move without a job, so he stayed behind.

Now I feel like a single parent, and e v e n though I DEAR hide it from my daughters, I am depressed. I haven’t been able to find work, and Jeff says he doesn’t want to JEANNE come here PHILLIPS for several m o r e months.

My husband and I have been together 14 years, and this is tearing me up inside.

He seems to be treating this issue as a joke. I suspect he likes not having the responsibility of a wife and kids. Our youngest is 6 months old and she’s growing up without her daddy! Please help me figure this out. — LONELY AND DEPRESSED DEAR LONELY: How long has this been going on? Three weeks? Three months? Tell your husband that because you can no longer tolerate being separated, you are moving back to Texas. Be sure to mention that the responsibility of helping HIS parents should not be yours alone. Your concerns about your baby girl are valid. She should be bonding with both her parents right now — and the separation may make it more difficult for her.

DEAR ABBY: Last February we lost my 14-yearold niece to suicide. Needless to say, it has been very hard on the family, especially her father, who is my brother.

The two of them were inseparable.

Her mother has been playing the “perfect mother” card since then, even though all they did was fight. Her latest move has the entire family appalled. “Mom” is planning a birthday party for my niece, with a DJ and everything, even though she never had one for her while she was alive.

We are all worried about my brother’s state of emotional well being and how he will respond once he finds out. How do I approach her with my concerns and put a stop to the party? — APPALLED AUNT IN THE EAST DEAR APPALLED: You shouldn’t and you can’t.

Have a talk with your brother about this and suggest grief counseling for himself and his wife if they haven’t already had any. The poor woman may be planning to have the party out of guilt because she didn’t host one while her daughter was alive, or because her relationship with the girl wasn’t a good one. She may also be unable to accept that her child is gone and not thinking rationally. What a sad situation.

DEAR ABBY: My wife cleans our hand-held vacuum in the kitchen sink. I think this particular appliance is probably the dirtiest one in the house and should be cleaned outside, not in the kitchen sink where food is prepared. She says she cleans the sink thoroughly afterward. I’m grossed out by the whole thing. What do you think? — PEEVED UP NORTH DEAR PEEVED: I think you’re grossed out by the IDEA that your hand-held vacuum is the dirtiest appliance in the house, but please calm yourself. People wash all kinds of things in the kitchen sink — children, pet dishes, the soles of shoes. As long as your wife cleans and sanitizes the sink afterward, you should be safe.

Monsanto to pay Pacific Northwest wheat farmers

ABBY

The Associated Press

A section of a large oak tree rests on the demolished small mobile home of Ramon Madrano on Wednesday, in Hillsboro. Madrano was finishing dinner the night before when the tree split his home in half. He crawled out through the hole the tree made and is safe, uninjured, but homeless. Forecasters say frigid air will continue to gust Wednesday through parts of Oregon, including the Columbia River Gorge and the Portland-Vancouver area, and snow is expected to move into the region today.

Oregon winter: First the wind, now the snow, ice PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon’s first big storm of the winter is expected on Thursday morning, and it’s likely to cover much of the northern half of the state first with snow and then with a cap of ice.

State and local road crews reported they were getting heavy equipment and deicing material ready. Schools prepared to curtail or cancel classes.

Snowfall amounts are expected to range from a few inches in the southern Willamette Valley to a foot or two in the northern Cascade Range, forecasters said Wednesday afternoon.

Amounts of 4 inches to 6 inches are forecast in Portland and twice that total in the Columbia Gorge.

“All us of here are a little reluctant to say anything for sure when it comes to snow forecasting,” said Andy Bryant, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service. “We’ve all been through a lot of scenarios that looked like a slam dunk heading into it (and then fell through). It’s subject to change with any minor change in temperature.”

Snowfall is expected to be widespread east of the Cascades stretching through the Blue Mountains to the

Idaho border, with amounts ranging from 3 inches to 7 inches. Lesser amounts are expected to fall in the southern half of the state.

The snow and ice follow heavy winds that have lashed western Oregon this week.

The winds fanned flames from logging waste along the coast and downed dozens of trees.

In Oregon City, a Douglas fir 3 feet in diameter fell on a home office Wednesday morning and pinned a man at his desk, firefighters said.

The man was flown to an emergency room. His name weren’t and condition immediately made public.

Gas prices reach 4-year low EUGENE (AP) — Oregon gas prices have reached a 4year low.

The Register-Guard reports the average price for unleaded gas in Oregon is $3.07. That’s a 47 cent decrease from a month ago.

AAA Oregon/Idaho says the highest price of gas this year was $3.98 a gallon on July 3.

And that $3.07 a gallon price is just the average. Gas is available for less than $3 at some stations.

Nationally, the average for regular unleaded has fallen to $2.93 a gallon, the lowest since December 2010.

The decline has been fueled by a drop in crude oil prices.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Monsanto Co. says it will pay $2.4 million to settle a dispute with farmers in the Pacific Northwest over genetically modified wheat.

The discovery of the genetically modified wheat in Oregon in 2013 prompted Japan and South Korea to temporarily suspend some wheat orders, and the European Union called for more rigorous testing of U.S. shipments.

No genetically engineered wheat has been approved for U.S. farming.

Federal agriculture officials determined the wheat is the same strain as one tested

by Monsanto a decade ago that was never approved.

Monsanto will put $2.1 million into a settlement fund to pay farmers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho who sold soft white wheat between May 30 and Nov. 30 last year.

It also will make payments to several regional growers associations.

Homeless student population is up PORTLAND (AP) — The number of Oregon students who were homeless during the past school year has jumped.

The state Education Department said Wednesday that 18,902 students were homeless at some point during the 2013-14 academic year, an increase of 737 students from the year before.

Officials say a change in federal reporting requirements has allowed them to compile race and ethnicity data for such students.

Although white students are 64 percent of the overall student population, they make up only 55 percent of homeless students.

The homeless classification doesn’t necessarily mean the child is sleeping in a shelter or on the streets. The tag also applies to students who lack a fixed and regular nighttime residence, such as those who live in motels or bounce between the homes of friends and relatives.

NEWS D I G E S T Berkshire buying Duracell in $3B deal OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is buying the Duracell battery business from Procter & Gamble Co. in a deal valued at approximately $3 billion.

P&G, the world’s biggest consumer products maker, had announced last month that it wanted to make Duracell a stand-alone company. P&G, which acquired Duracell in 2005, said at the time that it preferred a spinoff of Duracell, but that it was considering a sale or other options.

The sale of Duracell to Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. turned out to be slightly different from P&G’s initial plans.

Liberia lifts emergency amid progress on Ebola MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberia’s president is lifting a state of emergency imposed to control an Ebola outbreak that has ravaged the country and two other West African nations.

In a nationwide address on Thursday, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said that the move does not mean the outbreak is over, but that enough progress has been made to lift emergency measures.

Those measures closed schools, banned large public gatherings, shut some markets and allowed the government to restrict people’s movements.

Schools remain closed, but officials are discussing how and when to reopen them.

Facebook again tries to simplify privacy policy NEW YORK (AP) — One more time, Facebook is trying to simplify its lengthy privacy policy and explain how it targets advertisements to its 1.35 billion users.

The world’s largest online social network uses the information people share on its site, along with the apps they use and the outside websites they visit, to show them advertisements deemed relevant to them. In the July-September quarter, Facebook reported nearly $3 billion in advertising revenue, a 64 percent increase from a year earlier.

Over the years, the company has faced concerns from users and from government regulators and privacy advocates that its policies are too complicated.

Two years ago, it settled with the Federal Trade Commission over charges that it exposed details about their users’ lives without getting the required legal consent. Last year, an independent audit that was part of the settlement found its privacy practices sufficient.

Progress, setbacks against militants

Obama meets Myanmar leader amid fears of backslide NAYPYITAW, Myanmar (AP) — President Barack Obama received a hero’s welcome two years ago during his historic visit to Myanmar, whose rapid rebirth after decades of repression was a source of hope for the region and beyond. Yet as he meets Thursday with President Thein Sein in the nation’s sparkling new capital, Obama is carrying a far grimmer message as he seeks to reverse a worrisome backslide in the country’s march toward a freer and fairer society.

A nationwide cease-fire with armed ethnic groups has yet to materialize. Myanmar’s pro-democracy opposition figure, Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, is banned from next year’s pivotal elections.

Scores of Rohingya Muslims are fleeing for fear of violence at the hands of Buddhist mobs, while roughly 140,000 more remain trapped in camps under dismal conditions.

This was not the Myanmar that Obama had hoped for when he made U.S. engagement with the nation, also known as Burma, a centerpiece of his efforts to promote human rights and expand U.S. influence in Asia.

“The work is not yet done,” Obama said after meeting with members of Myanmar’s parliament.

Thein Sein, himself a former member of the junta, offered Obama his first major opportunity to address Myanmar’s state of affairs since he set off Sunday on a weeklong tour of Asia and Australia. But in China, on the first leg of the trip, Obama treaded lightly on human rights issues and other areas where pushing a firm stance could have upset his hosts.

On his first full day in Myanmar, Obama announced the U.S. would start sending Peace Corps volunteers there in late 2015.

Morgan Stanley central in Chinese stock dispute WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. banking giant Morgan Stanley helped a Chinese Tianhe company, Chemicals, sell $654 million in stock in a June public offering. But The Associated Press identified significant discrepancies in publicly accessible financial records and statements Tianhe made to investors.

Such discrepancies highlight Morgan Stanley’s roles shepherding then promoting then defending Tianhe — which one of its investment funds partially owns — before and after the chemical company became a major international stock offering.

If Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and its fellow underwriters, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS AG, failed adequately to vet Tianhe, the banks could be subject to reputational and legal concerns.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and coalition forces are making progress in the fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, but the American people must prepare for a long and difficult struggle, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told Congress on Thursday.

“ISIL’s advance in parts of Iraq has stalled, and in some cases been reversed, by Iraqi, Kurdish, and tribal forces supported by U.S. and coalition airstrikes,” Hagel said in testimony to the House Armed Services Committee. “But ISIL continues to represent a serious threat to American interests, our allies, and the Middle East ... and wields influence over a broad swath of territory in western and northern Iraq and eastern Syria.”

A fire department photo shot from inside the building shows the scaffold platform hanging precipitously, with the Statue of Liberty appearing tiny in the distance.

About 100 firefighters rushed to the scene, some of them lowering ropes from the roof so the workers could secure themselves and providing a two-way radio to communicate, Nigro said. The workers, who have more than 20 years of experience between them, were harnessed to the platform, and the building’s owner said they had all the requisite safety gear and training.

After shattering the window glass, firefighters began inching another scaffold down the building as a backup rescue plan. But the workers were brought to safety through the roughly 4-by-8-foot window hole.

“We might try to better orientate the solar panels,” he said.

Uncertainty clouds gay marriage in Kansas TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — As gay rights activists celebrate a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriages in Kansas, the court clerk in the most populous county won’t grant licenses to gay couples until a separate legal case is resolved before the state’s highest court.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s determination to defend the state’s gay-marriage ban remains a roadblock to same-sex weddings. He has the backing of Gov. Sam Brownback, a fellow Republican who pledged to work with Schmidt to preserve a provision in the state constitution against gay marriage that was approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2005.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request Wednesday from Kansas to prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying while the state fights the issue in court.

Schmidt says that decision applies only in Douglas, a northeastern Kansas county, and Sedgwick, in south-central Kansas, where the court clerks are defendants. The American Civil Liberties Union contends the ruling applies in all 105 counties.

The legal situation in Kansas is complicated by another case before the Kansas Supreme Court, which Schmidt filed last month. He persuaded the Kansas court to block marriage licenses for same-sex couples, at least while his case is heard.

Marriage licenses in Kansas are issued by district court clerks’ offices after a mandatory three-day wait.

In Johnson County, Court Clerk Sandra McCurdy said about 70 applications from same-sex couples are pending.

“Until I hear something from the Kansas Supreme Court, I’m not issuing any marriage licenses,” McCurdy said.

Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond, Virginia, law professor, said other clerks are likely to react the same way “out of an abundance of caution.”

The U.S. Supreme Court order was consistent with its handling of requests from other states seeking to preserve their bans while they appealed lower-court rulings favoring gays and lesbians.

SNIPER 67 rounds were fired that day Continued from Page A1 south side.

Years before the Thurston High School shootings of 1998, and Columbine a year later and 9⁄11 two years after that, it was unthinkable that someone would fire off more than 60 rounds of high-powered ammunition at the UO’s football stadium.

And it is still, three decades later, the only sniper incident ever recalled in Lane County.

“It was a rather unique event, and we didn’t anticipate it, of course,” said Bill De-Forrest, a retired Eugene and Springfield police official who was the commanding officer on duty that day.

Feher, a one-time UO student from Everett, Wash., who was still living at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity on campus, had tried to commit suicide on the Autzen football field earlier that summer. He could have chosen a much busier place on campus and killed scores more.

It could have been like Austin,Texas,on Aug.1,1966, when a former Marine named Charles Whitman climbed atop a tower at the University of Texas and killed 16 before an Austin police officer shot him to death.

The story here was still national news, though, with O’Shea’s name appearing in newspapers and on network TV news from coast to coast.

He would rather be remembered for winning an Olympic medal — he competed in both the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Trials.

Today, O’Shea still has scars on his body and shrapnel in his neck and leg.

Sitting in one of two classrooms where he teaches 11 special education students at

Willamette High, where photographs on the wall showcase his Wolverine wrestling teams and himself wrestling for the Ducks back in the day, O’Shea lifts his right leg to show a small scar.

It was Veterans Day that Monday, and Feher was dressed in commando-style camouflage gear and black face paint. He was carrying two .223-caliber rifles, a Ruger Mini-14 with a sophisticated laser sight and an AR-15 he had stolen from Anderson’s Sporting Goods in downtown Eugene.

It began when Feher spotted UO football player Ray Wheatley on his way to the weight room that morning.

“Freeze!” Feher told him, according to The RegisterGuard’s coverage of the incident. “You know that red dot on your back? If I pull the trigger much further, you’re dead.”

Feher made Wheatley lead him down one of Autzen’s tunnels toward the weight room.

Inside were O’Shea and fellow wrestlers Keith and Bill Beutler (brothers), Derek Phillips and Glenn Jarrett, along with assistant wrestling coach John Kotmel, crosscountry runner Gretchen Nelson and golfer Paul Weinhold and his coach, Scott Krieger.

“Most of us reacted the way I think we should have,” O’Shea says. “We acted fast.

When (Feher) asked to use a phone, we told him we didn’t have one.”

But they did.

“We didn’t want to give him that opportunity and have him hold us hostage. We were already with him 10 seconds longer than we wanted to be.”

Feher told them to get up to the second level. Unsure if it was a sick joke or something more sinister, they complied, grabbing weight equipment along the way to bash Feher

over the head if he followed.

But he was gone.

About 90 seconds later, O’Shea and Weinhold went back downstairs to check the restroom and taping room.

Then O’Shea went outside.

He looked around the stadium,slowly wandering out into the end zone, eventually making eye contact with Feher, who was now up in the south stands.

“I wasn’t worried,” O’Shea recalls. “I was just trying to figure out what was going on.I just wanted to know if someone was screwing around or not.”

Feher was standing in the middle of the old yellow seats reserved on game days for university donors, under the cover of the old south side of the stadium, years before it was remodeled in 2002.

“He just said, ‘Get back inside,’ and then shot,” O’Shea says.

“And I think I called him a name. I remember cursing at him.”

It was 8:35 a.m.

O’Shea ran back inside the weight room, yelling that he had been shot.

“At first, nobody believed me,” he said at a press conference at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene that night.

“Then I lay down, fell down, and they saw the blood running.”

The other athletes blocked the door with weight room equipment. Then they called the police and spent the next 21⁄2 hours listening to radio reports while preparing themselves for Feher’s possible return.

Getting shot by a sniper was not as scary as what happened next, O’Shea says.

Hearing bullets echo against the cement walls of the tunnels on the other side of the weight room was worse.

“That was pretty creepy,” O’Shea says.

“He could shoot the locks off!” some of the athletes

were saying.

The gunfire (police would later determine that Feher shot 67 rounds of ammunition, shooting out press box lights and the like) stopped sometime after 9 a.m. But it wasn’t until about 11 a.m. that someone was fiddling at the weight room door.

“This is the police, open up,” a voice said.

But was it really the police, or was it Feher? When the first SWAT team member came through, his weapon drawn, he was dressed just like Feher.

Wheatley, the 265-pound football player, was quoted 30 years ago saying he nearly belted that first officer with a 25-pound weight.

About the same time, retired UO professor Marshall Wattles discovered Brathwaite’s body on Pre’s Trail.

Police would determine that Feher shot him about 9 a.m.and then took his own life about 9:08 a.m. Police found Feher’s body in section 30 of the old stadium at 11:54 a.m.

Brathwaite left behind his wife, Sharon, and their son, Sean, who was a couple of weeks shy of his fifth birthday at the time.

For O’Shea, his take from a civil trial for damages wasn’t much.“After I paid the lawyer, I think I got $23,000,” he says.

O’Shea used some of that money to help with expenses when he went back to school in the late 1980s to finish his degree in public health education before attending graduate school in the early 1990s.

“That was one crazy time,” he says, remembering 1984.

Earlier that year, on Jan. 21, two of O’Shea’s UO wrestling teammates, Jed Kesey, son of the late author Ken Kesey, and Lorenzo Wright, were killed in a van accident on an icy Washington state highway on the way to a meet in Pullman.

O’Shea, having redshirted in 1983-84, and Finley, who coached the 1984 U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman wres-

tling team, were in Colorado Springs, Colo., training for the Olympic Trials.

“That van accident was devastating, almost worse than the shooting,” O’Shea says. “Our team was really just decimated.”

He believes that his mindset as a wrestler, his will to always win, to come out on top, helped him cope with the tragedies.

“You decide if you’re going to give up or if you’re going to win,” he says. “I think that’s what happened to me more than anything.

“And I felt for the kid,” he says of Feher. “I did then, and I do now.

“When people ask me what should be done, I say, ‘People need to open their hearts and listen. If you think somebody’s ill, they probably are. We should see if they should be helped. Especially if you work in schools.’”

LAWSUIT Continued from Page A1 While the court acknowledged that Bellinger met the minimum qualifications for the sixth grade teaching position, was at least 40 years old and a younger person was hired instead, she was also less qualified than the younger applicants.

The court favored the school district, dismissing the case.

“Indeed, if this court accepted (Bellinger’s) logic, employers would be required to hire every minimallyqualified applicant over 40 years old or confront ADEA liability,” according to court documents.

EBOLA Continued from Page A1 and avoid a crisis.

Included in the funding request is $238 million for the NIH for clinical trials of experimental vaccines and treatments. The vaccine question aside, Fauci said NIH brought together doctors who had cared for the nine Ebola patients treated in the U.S., to look at records of experimental treatments they received.

“It was clear we had no idea what works or what doesn’t work,” he said, calling that a “strong argument” for clinical trials.

The aid package also would earmark $1.5 billion for a contingency fund to deal with any unexpected developments.

Sen. Barbara Mikulski, DMd., who chairs the Appropriations Committee, said lawmakers would move rapidly on the request.

“We need to contain the disease and we need to eradicate it,” she said.

But some lawmakers questioned whether the Obama administration was taking enough security measures against Ebola.

“Why not take the extra conservative step” of quarantining returning health care workers as the Defense Department decided to quarantine troops sent to help in West Africa, Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said.

A look at this week’s games Class 4A Quarterfinals Friday Junction City at Gladstone Scappoose at Cascade South Umpqua at North Bend Saturday Phoenix at Mazama

South Umpqua at North Bend Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: K-Light (98.7 FM) Outlook: The Bulldogs won the first meeting between the Far West League rivals, but had to overcome an early 14-0 deficit to take the victory. Once North Bend got rolling, South Umpqua was unable to stop the passing combination of Cam Lucero and Drew Matthews, who connected for five touchdowns. But the Lancers showed they were able to match the Bulldogs’ physical play, and have followed the loss with three straight dominant wins. The Lancers, like the Bulldogs, feature a dynamic quarterback, Erik Johnson. In the first meeting, their best weapon was running back Kyler Merritt. A huge crowd is expected at Vic Adams Field and fans might want to get to the high school extra early for parking purposes. The winner faces either Phoenix or Mazama of the Skyline League in the semifinals next weekend.

This will be the seventh meeting between the teams in the past decade and fifth in the playoffs. The Panthers put their unbeaten season record on the line at home against the Rams. Regis will have to contend with Gold Beach’s tough veer offense and try to break through against a Gold Beach squad that shut out Oakridge in the first round of the playoffs. Regis pounded Lost River 41-10 in its first playoff game. The winner faces a team from the eastern part of the state, either Burns or the combined Union/Cove squad.

North Bend’s offensive linemen have a morning ritual on game days. Before school starts on a Friday morning, they meet at the North Bend Kozy Kitchen for breakfast. Seated at their table in a corner of the restaurant, from the left, are Rich Rigney, Rhett Strode, Max Freeman, Joe Rutheford and Tanner Henderson.

Burrito bonding Bulldogs thrive

BY GEORGE ARTSITAS The World

NORTH BEND — It’s 6:45 am. on a Friday.

Most high schoolers around the Bay Area lay in their beds, deliberating a third snooze on their alarm clock.

At North Bend’s Kozy Kitchen, the Bulldogs’ offensive line has already sequestered itself at a table, each player wearing his brown game day jersey.

Max Freeman and Joe Rutheford have identical American Burritos in front of them, each ready to race to a clean plate.

Some consider this gluttony.

For these linemen, it’s bonding.

“We always look forward to talking to each other,” Rutheford, the line’s leader, said. “I love my fellow linemen.”

As the oft-forgotten stars of the North Bend offense, the line has helped lead the highestscoring offense in Class 4A through nine games, mostly anonymously.

This week, junior Rutheford was named to the all-league first team on both the offensive

and defensive lines. Tanner Henderson and Rhett Strode were named to the second-team offense.

Being together is vital. “Play as a unit” is advice line coach Brandon O’Neil preaches.

And North Bend’s line has taken it as gospel.

“We’re more of a family this year,” Strode said. “You don’t know each other, you don’t know each other’s strengths, and you’re pretty much playing by yourself.

“We don’t put too much effort into it, we just come together.”

Though only Zach Wallace and Tim West graduated from last year’s line, North Bend still has had to struggle with continuity.

“During the course of this season, we have lost linemen due to a variety of circumstances,” head coach Gary Prince said. “They have been asked to step up and perform at a high level and they’ve done just that.”

Only Rutheford and Strode were on last year’s line. This year the Bulldogs have had to switch to a new center (Freeman), thrust a sophomore into the staring lineup (Rich Rigney) and are re-grooming a senior who only

played one month last season (Henderson).

They’ve made it work.

“It’s all fluid,” said Henderson, who says he gets biscuit and gravy at Kozy, or something “usually cheap.”

“Everyone is bringing each other up and we joke around with each other. It’s all positive 95 percent of the time.”

Freeman, a senior, hasn’t played center since his freshman season.

The transition to touching the ball on every play has been nerve-wracking, especially since quarterback Cam Lucero lines up in a shotgun formation every play, but over time, he’s gotten used to it.

“It was definitely different,” Freeman said, adding that it’s becoming second-nature at this point. “It gets to be auto-pilot after a little while.”

Over at right tackle, underclassmen Rigney has been fortunate to play the same position he did in junior varsity, just against way better competition.

Rams and Panthers meet again

Speedgolf has bright future This column is a couple of weeks overdue, but space has been a premium with tons of local teams to feature as they prepared for their postseasons.

That’s not bad. It’s great for the South Coast when so many teams can advance to the playoffs.

But after features or stories about four different sports including teams from nearly every school in our coverage area, the Speedgolf World Championships seems like a distant memory.

Before this year’s event at Bandon Dunes gets any further SPORTS into our rearview mirrors, I need to share excitement about the event’s future.

First, a brief history: The current speedgolf craze can be traced to JOHN three buddies GUNTHER who grew up in Eugene and graduated from high school in the early 1980s, Tim Scott, Christopher Smith and Jim Kosciolek. Various versions of the sport had been contested in the past, but they revolutionized it. In 2002, they formed Speedgolf International, and in 2003, held the first Bandon Dunes Speedgolf Classic.

Over the next decade, the tournament was held each year with a relatively small field, and similar events were held in Chicago and near Portland, but the concept grew in popularity.

In 2012, the first Speedgolf World Championships was held at Bandon Dunes with a small field of about 15 pros, even drawing a 30-minute broadcast during the 2013 telecast of the Masters.

with a powerful kill.

But the final set was no contest.

“That’s the team we’d like to take to NWACs,” Mosieur said of SWOCC’s play in the final set.

The Lakers already led 14-9 when they ran off nine straight points in a long service run by Tiarae Willing, including seven straight points that came directly off plays by Mosieur or Foutz — six kills and a stuff block.

“We just decided, it’s our last home game, let’s just play our game,” Foutz said.

When Gabby White pounded a kill off the hands of an Umpqua blocker, the Lakers could celebrate their regular season-ending win.

SWOCC and Mount Hood both finished the season with 3-7 records in South Region play. The Saints will host the playoff match because they have a higher priority number in the league’s ranking system.

GOLD BEACH — New coaches, old rivalry.

Over the past decade, Gold Beach and Regis have squared off in the payoffs four times, the Panthers holding a 3-1 edge.

But when they kick off at 2 p.m. Saturday down the coast at Gold Beach, the only thing that will be the same is the players’ laundry.

“It funny how the coaches change and the rivalries stay the same,” Regis first-year head coach Kyle McGrath said. “I like it.”

McGrath, along with fellow first-year head coach Justin Storns for Gold Beach, have picked up right where their predecessors left off. Gold Beach is 10-0 in its first year without head coach Kevin Swift on the sidelines, running through the Sunset Conference as well as beating Coquille, Vernonia and North Eugene in the preseason.

Regis is 6-3 and coming out of the Tri-Valley Conference in second, but the Rams are ranked at No. 5 in Class 2A, just one spot below the Panthers.

The two Class 2A powerhouses colliding again in the bracket is no surprise.

“We’ve both been expecting this,” Sunset Conference Coach of the Year Storns said. “We both kind of known this was going to be the matchup and it’s going to be a great game.”

The Panthers and Rams last played in the 2013 preseason to a 29-8 Regis win. Before that, Gold Beach had won the past four, including three in the playoffs and a 28-14 preseason win in 2012.

The Panthers haven’t forgotten the setback in 2013.

“Some of these kids have a little bit of a bad taste in their mouth from last year,” Storns said.

“Hopefully it gives them a little more of a competitive fire to redeem that.”

Lakers win to extend season SWOCC visits Mount Hood on Saturday for final spot in tourney ■

BY JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — First the Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team finished the regular season with a three-set sweep of visiting Umpqua.

Then the Lakers waited around to see if they would have more than just their win over the Riverhawks to celebrate.

When word reached the gym that Chemeketa had beaten Mount Hood in another match, SWOCC coach Stephanie Willett let out a happy yell.

The two results Wednesday mean the Lakers and Mount Hood finished the season tied for fourth in the NWAC South Region. They now will have a league playoff

match Saturday at Gresham for the region’s final spot in the NWAC tournament.

“I know we can do it,” Brea Mosieur said. “It’s just a matter of pulling through.”

The Lakers did that Wednesday, overcoming a slow start to beat the Riverhawks 25-21, 25-21, 25-11.

“The first two games, we were maybe a little emotional,” said Mosieur, one of six sophomores honored before their final home match. “We pulled it through.”

During the break between the second and third sets, the Lakers talked about how they were playing.

“We asked each other how bad we wanted it,” Mosieur said. “The answer was pretty bad.”

The Lakers pulled away from a 21-all tie in the first set, punctuating the win with a kill by Hayley Sturgeon.

The second set was close until Brandi Wilson had back-to-back aces. Tori Foutz finished the win

Blazers score 84 in first half of win over Nuggets DENVER (AP) — A little bit tired and drained entering the second night of back-to-back games, the Portland Trail Blazers nevertheless put together a startling offensive flurry.

So startling that Damian Lillard had to take a moment to fully comprehend what his team accomplished — 84 points in the first half.

“That’s the points you score in a full game,” Lillard said.

It certainly made for an easy rest of the way.

Lillard had 27 points and a seasonhigh nine assists as the Blazers used a big first half to rout the Denver Nuggets 130-113 on Wednesday night.

The 84 points by the Blazers in the opening half was one basket away from matching the team record for a half (86) set against Golden State on Jan. 5, 1986.

It was the most points scored in the first half by a Denver opponent since Phoenix scored an NBA-record 107 points on Nov. 10, 1990, according to Nuggets’ officials.

Even more, the last time a team scored that many in any half was March 25, 2011, when Golden State had 84 in the first half against Toronto, according to STATS “It felt great, because everything that we wanted to do, you’re in the flow of doing it,” Lillard said. “You want to get out in transition, play unselfish, you want to make shots. You want to

defend. We did all those things. That’s as well as we’ve done that all season.”

So, was that as good as Portland can play?

“I don’t want to put a ceiling on that,” said Robin Lopez, who scored 15 of his 19 points in the first half. “We were a little fortunate. Shots were falling. Part of that is kismet. Part of that is moving the ball. Part of that is us.”

The Blazers showed no signs of fatigue, despite expending plenty of energy the night before in coming back from a 23-point deficit to hold off Charlotte at the buzzer.

They also beat Denver in Portland on Sunday, in a tighter game (116100). This time they expected more energy out of the Nuggets, who dropped their sixth straight game in front of a small crowd on a bitterly cold night.

“We were expecting their best shot, expecting them to come out fired up,” Lillard said. “It felt kind of dry, with the crowd and everything. We knew that we would have to create our own energy.

“We did that.”

LaMarcus Aldridge usually gives the Nuggets nightmares, but he was kept in check, finishing with 12 points. He averaged 28.3 points against Denver a season ago, and had a career-high 44 points in a game last January.

This was the first time all year Nuggets coach Brian Shaw had a full squad at his disposal. It didn’t help.

Shaw couldn’t find the right combination to slow down the Blazers, who led 84-50 at the break. That’s quite a firsthalf explosion, especially considering Indiana beat Miami 81-75 earlier in the night.

On a frigid night outside the Pepsi Center — minus-3 degrees and falling — the Nuggets were just as cold inside.

They shot 37.8 percent in the first half, including 1 for 8 from 3-point range, leading to plenty of boos from the sparse crowd.

“It’s not easy for them to see us play like that,” Danilo Gallinari said. “I understand them. Hopefully, we can turn those boos into applause the next game.”

Lapses on defense proved costly for Denver, said Ty Lawson, who led the team with 32 points.

“Have to play better,” he said.

Denver actually went on a 15-0 run in the third quarter and still trailed by 21 points. Lillard ended any chance of a comeback when he hit back-to-back 3pointers late in the quarter to restore the big lead.

The game was so lopsided that Portland’s starters were on the bench The Associated Press for the final quarter.

“I didn’t (see this coming),” Lillard Portland guard Will Barton goes up for a shot against the Denver said. “Everybody was focused.”

Nuggets during the second half Wednesday.

Davis has big night to lead New Orleans past Lakers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Davis had 25 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots, and the New Orleans Pelicans pulled away from the reeling Los Angeles Lakers for a 109-102 victory Wednesday night.

Kobe Bryant scored 33 on 10-of-28 shooting, one night after setting the NBA record for most missed field goals in a career.

The Lakers were as close as 63-60 in the middle of the third quarter, but the Pelicans closed the period on a 22-12

Lucero was named Far West League offensive MVP on Tuesday, and being the savvy veteran he is, the Bulldog senior knows how pivotal line play is in his — and North Bend’s — success.

“They can do it all,” Lucero said. “My line protects me better than anybody in the state. I trust them 100 percent to keep me safe.”

Lucero will need all the help he can get as the Bulldogs face South Umpqua on Friday.

North Bend beat South Umpqua 59-32 on Oct. 11, and in the first quarter Rutheford suffered a concussion, forcing him out the remainder of the game.

Now Rutheford is back, and leading up to Friday, the line knows were they stand compared to a month ago.

“We’ve only gotten better in practice,” Henderson said.

“We’re closer now.”

One American Burrito at a time.

But Storns is specifically worried about the Rams’ skill players.

First-team all conference quarterback Aaron Guzman should create problems for the Panthers, as well as dynamic running back Reynolds.

Storns said his concern is with the Rams’ ability to run short pass and running plays that suck defenses in long enough for Guzman to eventually go over the top.

“We need to make them drive the length of the field against our defense,” Storns said. “With all high school football, the more time you make someone snap the ball, the more chances they have to make a mistake.”

McGrath, on he other hand, knows what to expect.

The problem is figuring out a way to stop something that is second-nature.

Gold Beach’s patented veer offense has been a hallmark of the Panthers since long before he was a Stayton player at Gold Beach’s team camp.

McGrath’s challenge is stopping an offense the Panthers have known “from Pop Warner on up.”

“Obviously our key is to

stop their bread and butter,” McGrath admitted. “They have all phases of tripleoption they want and have great athletes running it.”

With quarterback Skyler Floyd, running back Colton Pearson and fullback JR Keeler as the personnel, Gold Beach has proven to be plenty capable. Keeler was cooffensive player of the year in the Sunset Conference.

Creating the running holes will be lineman Robert Moore, Dakota Hensley, Mauricio Boydston, Colton Maxwell, Lincoln Newdall and Raef Williams — the latter four were named to the first-team all-conference line.

“Teams that win championships can run the ball and our kids know that,” Storns said. “We take great pride in what we do.”

The winner Saturday will face the winner of topranked Burns and Union/Cove in the semifinals the following week.

But first, Regis has to travel six hours into probable-rain to visit a familiar face.

“It’s a rivalry for sure,” Storns said. “It’s nice to be playing at home, I’ll tell you that.”

The added time in the pocket doesn’t go unnoticed by the Bulldogs’ senior quarterback.

Brad Keselowski win the race.

“I thought you were going to say you were going to send Brad out to be a moving chicane like you were at Talladega,” Harvick said.

Logano didn’t flinch: “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said. When the formal portion of the event was over,Logano patted Harvick on the back and said, “Nice.”

Harvick has played these games before — he needled Denny Hamlin during the 2010 lead-up to the championship. Hamlin was the points leader and stressed about the expectations, and the contenders news conference set the tone for a miserable weekend in which Hamlin lost the title.

Harvick and Logano have had issues in the past, and

Logano once said that Harvick’s wife, Delana “wears the firesuit in the family.” With five wins this season, Logano could be considered the favorite on Sunday along with Harvick, who has four wins.

So it made sense for Harvick to try to play some mind games with the 24year-old driver, who is in his first title hunt.

Logano said after that he wasn’t bothered by Harvick.

“I think it is funny,” he said.

“It is so cool to be here and having a shot at the championship. On top of that, when you have one of the threats to win the championship along with yourself trying to play head games with you, it means they’re nervous about you and I think that’s kind of cool.”

PANTHERS From Page B1 While McGrath is a 2009 Stayton High School graduate, he’s familiar with the rivalry.

Stayton is a stones-throw away from Regis, so with friends on the Rams, he watched the 2007 and 2008 playoff matchups — both of which went to the Panthers.

A football player himself, he also traveled down to do the Gold Beach team camps in the summer during high school, familiarizing himself with longtime Panthers coach Swift.

“I know where this rivalry comes from and what it means to us,” McGrath said.

“I know what Gold Beach is all about and what they expect out of their football program and they seem to live up to it.”

On offense, the Panthers will have to go against Blake Mitten, co-defensive player of the year out of the TriValley at defensive end.

They’ll also have to deal with McGrath’s “linebacker by committee” with Taylor Silbernagel and Payden Reynolds attacking the ends.

Kershaw captures Cy Young Award

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cleveland’s Corey Kluber edged Felix Hernandez for the AL award ■

NEW YORK (AP) — Everyone expected Clayton Kershaw to pitch a shutout, and he did — a unanimous choice for the NL Cy Young Award.

Corey Kluber edging out Felix Hernandez for the AL pitching prize, that was no sure thing.

Now, the big question: Is Kershaw the Most Valuable Player, too?

“I can’t even really fathom it happening,” Kershaw said on a conference call Wednesday, shortly after winning his third Cy Young in four seasons.

Kershaw led the majors in victories and ERA and threw a no-hitter, going 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA for the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 26-year-old lefty with a wicked curveball will find out Thursday if he’s the first NL pitcher to sweep the MVP and Cy Young honors since Bob Gibson in 1968.

“I think a lot of things probably have to go right,” Kershaw said, adding, “there are so many people out there who don’t think a pitcher should win.”

Pittsburgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen, who won the NL MVP last year, and Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton are competing against Kershaw for honor.

“Everybody’s going to have an opinion” on the position player-vs.-pitcher debate, Kershaw said.

DETROIT — A person with knowledge of the deal says the Detroit T igers have agreed to a $68 million, fouryear contract with slugger Victor Martinez.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the agreement has not been announced.

The 35-year-old Martinez had perhaps his best season career in 2014, hitting .335 with 32 home runs and 103 and The Associated Press RBIs Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw celebrates his no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies in Los Angeles on June 18.

Rams bench Davis ST. LOUIS — Rams coach Jeff Fisher benched struggling quarterback Austin Davis and will go back to veteran Shaun Hill for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.

Fisher said Monday that he was sticking with Davis, who made his NFL debut earlier this season after Hill was sidelined with an injury.

Fisher had said Davis was the starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

Ducks and ASU have clear paths to title game

BY JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Oregon and Arizona State are in control-yourown-destiny territory, in the Pac12 race and, quite possibly, the College Football Playoff.

Win out in the regular season and they’ll play each other in the Pac-12 championship game Dec. 5 in San Francisco. The winner of that game will be 12-1 and seemingly a lock for one of the four playoff spots.

The key will be to not look too far ahead. There are still places to trip up and spoil all those aspirations.

Here’s a look at what lies ahead for the Ducks and Sun Devils:

OREGON’S ROAD The Ducks, ranked No. 3 in The Associated Press Top 25, would be in the playoff if the season ended today. Oregon moved up to No. 2 in the latest playoff rankings, joining Mississippi State (1), Florida State (3) and TCU (4) among the teams in the coveted top four.

The Ducks lost to Arizona at home on Oct. 2, but the rest of their resume looks good, including an early season win over then-No. 7 Michigan State, along with road wins over UCLA and Utah, both ranked at the time. Oregon also cleared a big hurdle two weeks ago by knocking off Stanford, which had beaten the Ducks each of the past two seasons on the way to the Pac-12 title and Rose Bowl.

The Ducks clinched the Pac-12 North with last weekend’s 51-27 win over Utah, putting them at 9-1 overall and 6-1 in conference.

“A big, big win for a lot of reasons,” coach Mark Helfrich said.

But it came with a price.

Cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, center Hroniss Grasu and tight end Pharaoh Brown all were injured against the Utes, with Brown suffering what Helfrich called a “significant injury” after he was carted off the field.

Oregon has a bye this week to try and heal from what’s been a season full of injuries.

“We’re going to do something of

a wait-and-see on a lot of things massive steps to climb up the playoff rankings. here,” Helfrich said.

The first was on Oct. 18, when The Ducks seemingly have a clear shot to the Pac-12 title game. the Sun Devils beat Stanford, the team that rolled over them twice last season, including the Pac-12 Championship game in Tempe.

The next and perhaps bigger I want our players to step came last week, when Arizona believe that they are State showed the country it can a big game by knocking off better than they are, and win then-No. 8 Notre Dame 55-31 on I expect them to play like national television.

The big-ticket victory moved that on Saturday. the Sun Devils up to No. 6 in the playoff rankings and to No. 7 in the Todd Graham AP poll.

Arizona State head coach They may be outside the top four in the playoff rankings, but they’re right on the doorstep and After the bye, Oregon faces still in control of the Pac-12 South.

“All the pieces of the puzzle are struggling Colorado and figures to be a multiple-touchdown favorite. coming together,” ASU running The regular-season finale is against back D.J. Foster said.

The Sun Devils just need to hold another laboring team, Oregon State, but strange things can hap- it together.

Their next game is on the road, pen in rivalry games. against Oregon State. The Beavers ASU’S ROAD have been struggling — four Arizona State has taken two straight losses — but are playing at

Dolphins, Bills fight for AFC position

SEC West could get complicated

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Hey, Leodis McKelvin, want to try your hand at Pro Picks?

The Buffalo cornerback got into the predicting business this week in preparation for the Bills’ visit to Miami tonight. McKelvin said he “ain’t going to lose no sleep, man. I’m just going to take (myself) home, put myself to sleep and get ready to play the Dolphins and beat (them), point blank, period.”

Confident or desperate? Maybe a bit of both.

Each team is 5-4 and looking up at New England in the AFC East. Both also are looking up at Kansas City and everyone in the AFC North in the chase for a wild-card berth.

In their earlier meeting, the Bills manhandled the Dolphins in Buffalo 29-10 in Week 2. Buffalo has won four of the past five matchups, and Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is sick of the losing to their division rival.

“We didn’t put it up on the board or anything, but we’re aware of what’s been said,” Tannehill said. “It’s just a matter of going out and playing well. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what you say during the week, it matters how you play — in this case on Thursday.”

Miami played well in a last-second loss at Detroit last weekend and has the league’s second-ranked pass defense.

Buffalo led most of the way at home before falling to the Chiefs and has a dynamic pass rush.

Miami is a 5-point favorite over Buffalo. McKelvin notwithstanding, this one will be tight ... DOLPHINS, 1917.

New OSU coach signs strong first class CORVALLIS — Wayne Tinkle couldn’t wait for signing day. It finally arrived Wednesday and the firstyear Oregon State men’s basketball coach was thrilled about his four signees.

“We are very excited that we can finally comment on the recruits,” Tinkle said. “A lot of work went into this recruiting class. People are going to be excited for more than just what they see on the court. They’ll discover what each of these individuals stands for and the kind of character they have.”

The class includes Derrick Bruce, a 6-foot-3, 165pound guard from Orlando, Florida; Drew Eubanks, a 6foot-10, 225-pound forward from Troutdale; Stephen Thompson Jr., a 6-foot-3, 165-pound guard from Torrance, California; and Tres Tinkle, a 6-foot-7, 215pound forward from Missoula, Montana.

Thompson Jr. is the son of OSU assistant coach Stephen Thompson. Tres Tinkle is the son of the head coach.

Mississippi State beats Alabama on Saturday, wins the Southeastern Conference championship game and goes merrily along into the College Football Playoff.

Or Alabama defeats Mississippi State and Auburn, takes the SEC title game and rolls into the playoff. That could even earn the SEC two spots in the final four, depending on how the Bulldogs do against Mississippi in the on Egg Bowl Thanksgiving weekend.

Those are the easy solutions for the SEC. Things could, however, still become very complicated, and it wouldn’t take a bunch of crazy upsets to get there.

Barring no other upsets with the teams involved, imagine this scenario. If Mississippi State loses at Alabama and at Ole Miss and the Tide tumbles against Auburn in the Iron Bowl after Auburn beats Georgia on Saturday — VIOLA! — fourway tie for first in the SEC West with each team 6-2.

The tiebreakers would send Auburn to the SEC championship game by virtue of a 2-1 record against the other three and a victory over Ole Miss.

As tough as the SEC West has been this season, even a two-loss team from that division with a conference championship would likely have a spot in the playoff — especially if that two-loss team is Auburn. The Tigers have one of the best out-ofconference wins in the country at Kansas State.

“We have more ranked teams in the SEC West than any other conference, total,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said.

Where it could get weird for the SEC is if the West becomes a two-loss logjam and the winner loses the SEC championship game to Georgia, Missouri or Florida.

Yes, the Gators are still alive for the division title.

Then what? It would be hard to make a case for any of those East teams making the playoff.

Georgia would enter the championship with three losses under that scenario.

Missouri, even if it does avoid another conference defeat, would still have that home loss to Indiana on the resume and no regular-season wins against any of the top-tier West teams. As for Florida, well, maybe if the Gators can beat Florida State, a case could be made for them as a team on the rise.

Would the committee reward a two-loss SEC team from the West that didn’t even win its division? And if so, which one? Or — GASP! — just leave the SEC out altogether?

The picks:

home games 101-21 — but that was against Florida and Texas A&M ... ALABAMA 3524.

No. 2 Florida State (minus 11⁄2) at Miami: Seminoles have won four straight against rival Hurricanes, average score 35-17 ... FLORIDA STATE 31-24.

1 No. 9 Auburn (plus 2 ⁄2) at No. 16 Georgia: Bulldogs RB Todd Gurley returns just in time to face Tigers’ tattered defense ... GEORGIA 42-38.

No. 8 Ohio State (minus 12) at Minnesota: F o r e c a s t : Subfreezing temperatures and 40 percent chance of snow. (hash)B1G ... OHIO STATE 31-17.

home in a game that will start at 8:45 p.m. local time.

Get past that, Arizona State must deal with the pass-happy offense of Washington State. The Cougars have struggled defensively, so the Sun Devils should get through that unscathed without a letdown.

But to earn a second straight spot in the Pac-12 title game, the Sun Devils will likely have to beat Arizona in the regular-season finale.

This rivalry game seems to get wilder every season and the Wildcats are not only good — No. 14 in playoff rankings, 17 in AP poll — they’ll be playing at home and with a chip on their shoulders after losing the past two games in the series.

“For us right now, the most important thing is to minimize distraction and focus fundamentally on getting better and continue to win games,” Sun Devils coach Todd Graham said. “I want our players to believe that they are better than they are, and I expect them to play like that on Saturday.”

“It’s not like they are going to be the foundation, the foundation is going to be laid this season,” Coach Tinkle said. “But they are going to be great pieces we add to the mix going forward as far as rebuilding OSU basketball."

The recruiting class has been among those mentioned as the best nationally.

“It’s neat that they have a nice ranking and we’d rather have that than not,” Tinkle said. “But what’s more important is we are doing it with kids that are committed to the long haul. This is a group that’s committed to being here four to five years, joining the people that we have here currently and adding to it down the road.”

Bruce attends prep school at West Oaks Academy in Orlando, where he’s a threestar guard and ranked 124th overall on Rivals 150. He averaged 21.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.1 steals as a senior at Colony High in Ontario, California, and was a first-team AllInland Valley selection.

Eubanks attends Reynolds

High where he is a four-star forward and the top-ranked 2015 player in Oregon by ESPN. He is also rated 134th overall on the Rivals 150 and 113th in the 247Sports Composite.

Thompson Jr. attends Bishop Montgomery High in Gardena, California, where he is a four-star guard and ranked 69th on the ESPN 100. He averaged 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists as a junior.

Tres Tinkle attends Missoula Hellgate High where he is a four-star forward and No. 77 on ESPN’s Top 100. He averaged 21.1 points and 7.4 rebounds as a junior and 20 points and 7.8 rebounds as a sophomore when Hellgate won the state championship.

Tinkle was named “Most Versatile” at the Nike EYBL, a “Jack of All Trades” by ESPN at the LeBron James Skills Academy and the “Best Player” at the Earl Watson Elite AAU program camp. He also attended the NBA Top 100 Camp and Kevin Durant Skills Academy.

Women: Oregon State coach Scott Rueck announced a class with three

players — Katie McWilliams of Salem, Taylor Kalmer from Chandler, Arizona and Tarea Green of Hillsboro.

“We are so excited to welcome this class to Oregon State. ... Collectively, this class brings a wealth of talent to our roster and directly addresses our program needs,” Rueck said in a press release.

McWilliams highlights the group with a five-star rating from ESPN. The 6-foot-2 guard is the No. 40-ranked player overall and is eighth in ESPN’s guard rankings. Over the course of her high school career, McWilliams has averaged 13 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks.

Kalmer will join McWilliams in the backcourt. The 5-foot-7 point guard received a three-star rating from ESPN and is listed as the No. 31 point guard in this year’s class after averaging 20 points, 3.1 assists and 2.3 steals as a junior.

Green is a 6-foot-4 post player with a three-star rating from ESPN and is listed as the No. 45 post player.

UPSET SPECIAL No. 11 Nebraska (plus 6) at No. 22 Wisconsin: Loser is likely out of Big Ten West race ... NEBRASKA 28-24.

BEST BET No. 5 TCU (minus 271⁄2) at Kansas: Horned Frogs can’t afford a less-than-impressive victory against lowly Jayhawks with Baylor closing ground ... TCU 56-17.

HEALTH, FITNESS AND LIVING WELL ON THE SOUTH COAST

Prepping for whate ver comes along Bay Area Hospital employees practice getting in and out of gear

THRIVE - HEALTH, FITNESS & LIVING WELL ON THE SOUTH COAST • NOVEMBER 2014 • 2

Hospitals gear up for Ebola – and other bugs CONTRIBUTED

By Bay Area Hospital If you come down with something this year, it probably won’t be an exotic hemorrhagic fever from Africa.

That’s why, even while U.S. hospitals are scrambling to prepare for a potential Ebola outbreak, more familiar bugs still command attention.

At Bay Area Hospital, “cough stations” at each entrance offer tissues, sanitizing gel and face masks.

Hospital housekeepers undergo intensive training to wipe out germs in patient rooms. And “secret shoppers” survey health workers’ hand-washing habits.

Flu and other common diseases were driving those precautions long before Ebola came along.

“I really think we’re ahead of the curve,” said David Fortune, the hospital’s environmental services manager.

The Ebola scare is a twosided coin for Terri Camp, RN, chief quality officer at BAH. Nationwide, Ebola preparations have diverted some resources from other safety priorities. On the other hand, the widespread concern lends energy to the healthcare industry’s continuous crusade for infection control.

Bay Area Hospital created its “Team Ebola” in early October to monitor Ebola developments and shape the local response. Readiness has ramped up since then: ■ The hospital has stocked up on “personal protective equipment,” including hooded suits with air-filtering fans, to protect workers from the virus.

■ Employees in multiple departments have trained with the equipment.

Meanwhile, a “train the trainers” program is spread-

ing the knowledge to other healthcare organizations countywide.

■ A block of rooms has been set aside in case the hospital must care for an Ebola patient. One room is for the patient, a second is for hospital workers to put on protective gear, and a “dirty room” collects the workers’ protective gear on the way out.

Despite these preparations, no one pretends an Ebola outbreak would be easy to contain. Dr. Terrance Bach, the hospital’s director of medical affairs, said he believes the hospital is ready for a prospective Ebola patient — but he also acknowledges the challenge of coping with a massive U.S. outbreak.

The up side?

“I don’t think that’s going to happen,” he said. “If this was airborne, like the flu, it would be a different story.”

Registered nurse Amy Walter, the hospital’s infection preventionist, said people should keep the Ebola scare in perspective.

“I would like them to know that it’s not as easy to catch as the media make it seem,” she said. Just being near an infected person isn’t enough.

“You need to come in contact with their body fluids.”

Furthermore, Ebola germs are easily killed with rubbing alcohol, bleach or even ordinary hand washing.

Fortune, who supervises the hospital’s cleaning staff, said his crew is the front line against infectious disease.

Even “superbugs” that can defy antibiotic drugs are easy prey to well-trained housekeepers wielding disinfectant.

“We’re constantly telling these guys how important their jobs are,” Fortune said.

Another key to infection control is hand hygiene.

Pump bottles dispense sanitizing gel in every hospital room, and workers are urged to “Gel in and gel out.” Camp said promoting clean hands will always be a priority for hospitals.

Bay Area’s latest initiative is called “CUSP,” short for Comprehensive unit-Based Safety Program. Recently rolled out in the hospital’s Post Surgical Unit, it features daily “safety huddles” and a process for reporting and resolving even the smallest problem.

“What we’re trying to do is get everybody thinking about safety,” Camp explained.

Lucky log-truck driver brings lifesaving tally to an impressive total CONTRIBUTED

By Bay Area Hospital A logging site east of Coquille is an unlucky place for a heart attack. Reaching Garry Wheelock in the woods near Sitkum took emergency responders almost 45 minutes.

Delivering him to Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay took another hour and a quarter.

But then Wheelock’s luck changed. A board-certified cardiologist was waiting at the hospital, with a state-ofthe-art cardiac catheterization facility and a highly trained team of nurses and technologists.

The 61-year-old log truck driver went home three days later with blood pumping briskly through a no-longerblocked coronary artery.

“Now you see him walking, and it just warms my heart to see we did something good,” said Dr. Seth Giri, who heads the Prefontaine Cardiovascular Center at Bay Area Hospital.

“Even if you are a hard-core atheist, how can you not believe in a higher power when you see these miracles every day?”

Everyday miracles like Wheelock’s are a relatively recent arrival in Coos County. A couple of years ago, Wheelock’s heart attack would have been a death sentence.

Cardiac catheterization uses tubes that slide through blood vessels to find and repair blockages. Coos Bay’s “cath lab” opened under Giri’s leadership in May 2013, and the team has worked at an astounding pace ever since.

Wheelock’s case brought Giri’s team to an even 1,000 procedures, roughly double an average cath lab’s productivity. Giri says the Prefontaine center, serving a broad swath of the Oregon coast, is America’s busiest cath lab.

A native of Mark Twain’s Hannibal, Mo., Wheelock learned truck driving in the U.S. Army. A civilian since 1980, he lives in Roseburg with his daughter Stacey and her 4year-old son, Cade.

The morning of Oct. 9, Wheelock and his truck were in the woods near Sitkum, northeast of Myrtle Point. Suddenly his chest hurt, and he couldn’t breathe.

An electrocardiogram in the ambulance revealed a severe heart attack. Wheelock’s right coronary artery — supplying blood to his heart muscle — was completely plugged. The bottom part of his heart was motionless.

At the hospital, Giri immediately prescribed a clot-busting drug. Then he threaded a catheter through Wheelock’s femoral artery. Once the tube reached Wheelock’s heart, a device called an Angiojet burrowed through the clot with streams of saline.

Next came a stent, a mesh tube to hold the artery open

Last, Giri added an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), a temporary booster to supplement Wheelock’s weakened heart muscle.

Wheelock returned to Coos Bay a week later to let Giri clear a second artery. This second procedure would be the cath lab’s 1,000th. Wheelock joined the team for group photos.

Mediterranean Miracle

BY LINDSEY ROMAIN CTW Features

Olives and fruit and wine by the riverside – the Mediterranean diet is, by nature, a cultural celebration of food as a delicacy and as the means by which we communicate with friends and family.

But it’s also the latest fad, thanks to recent news stories and books about its benefits. In addition to weight loss, a study from the New England Journal of Medicine showed that Mediterranean diet participants enjoyed another significant health boost: the reduction of heart disease. According to Marissa Cloutier, a registered dietitian and co-author of “The Mediterranean Diet” (Harper, 2006) a diet rich in the healthy oils and seasonal produce of the Mediterranean can also prevent a risk of cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, even depression. “It just comes down to having the right chemical balance,” she says.

So what exactly is the Mediterranean diet? Probably not what you think. It’s not just surviving on lentil soup and tabbouleh to drop a few pounds. It’s about embracing the lifestyle of the groups of people who live in the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea – countries like Greece, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Monaco and Croatia – a region with some of the healthiest humans on earth. “If you look at the lifestyle of the true Mediterranean culture, it’s going to consist of many factors that are based on social activities,” says Stella Metsovas, a certified clinical nutritionist and a Greek

A recent study found that nearly 30 percent of heart attacks and strokes could be prevented if people switched to a Mediterranean diet, not to mention the already established benefits the diet provides for Alzheimer’s and cancer prevention. Sound too good to be true? It’s not.

American who was raised on a traditional Mediterranean diet. “Food is a big part of the Mediterranean culture, and food cooked at home is one of the best ways to show love or admiration or any positive feeling towards anyone.”

When food is looked at with love, the selection of quality ingredients becomes key. “If you take a traditional Mediterranean dinner, you would have so many nutrients bursting out that you could apply to cognitive health and an anti-inflammatory diet,” Metsovas says.

Aside from the more stereotypical foods like olive oil and hummus, what are traditional Mediterranean ingredients that should be integrated into a Mediterranean-friendly diet?

While foods vary from country to country, the main focus is on plant foods: fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, herbs and spices, and oils made from nuts and seeds.

“The diet uses animal foods as a part of a meal, not as the center of the plate,” says Connie Diekman, director of university nutrition, Washington University in St. Louis. “The focus is more on fish than other animal foods.” Beef is only eaten in limited quantities, as is chicken.

Dairy is OK when integrated into the meal; yogurt can be used to accent a stew, and feta cheese can bring out the flavor of veggies, notes Diekman, “so the balance of foods remains higher in plant foods.” When dairy is used, it’s typically from a goat.

Metsovas also stresses the importance of seasonal food.

She uses an example of this with fruit: “When you’re in a village, you’re not going to have papayas coming in from Chile.

You’re going to have fruit based on what’s in season.”

“What unifies these countries is what can be grown there,” Cloutier, says, “The basis of the diet is that it’s the same foods used in different ways.”

So what is it about these foods that make them so good for the body?

The lack of processed food is a key factor, as is the quality of nutrients in the typical foods consumed. Cloutier notes that human beings are built to sustain natural ingredients, and that when we stray from a plant-based diet, we disrupt our body’s natural balance. “The balance of nutrients is conducive to heart health,” Cloutier says. “When that balance is disrupted, your system can’t handle the load. Fat gets deposited in the wrong places – it collects

and has nowhere to go, so it’s deposited in the arteries or blood vessels.” Those blockages can lead to a heart attack, or even a stroke.

Plant food also has fiber, which is necessary for healthy digestion, and fish and nuts have Omega 3 fatty acids, which aid heart health. Both also are filling, which makes it easier to eat less and maintain weight.

But weight loss should be secondary to the overall health of this lifestyle, according to Metsovas. “From inflammatory to stress reduction to not being outdoors and getting that sunlight – all of these things are directly related to weight gain,” she says.

When it comes to overall health and weight loss as associated with the Mediterranean diet, Metsovas has gone a step beyond – she’s combined the Mediterranean lifestyle with Paleo and created a more low-carb diet based on evolutionary principles. It’s different from a typical Paleo diet in that it’s less meat-heavy. “I’m not so much for that,” she says, “especially when it comes to women – women have a harder time breaking down a high-fat diet.” The MediterraneanPaleo diet restricts carbs and gluten, which Metsovas believes is destructive to the small intestine.

It’s important to remember that this isn’t just a loseweight-quick solution. “One major misconception is that the diet alone will duplicate the health of people who live in the Mediterranean,” Diekman says. “But the healthier lifestyle of people in the Mediterranean region is associated with all aspects of the lifestyle – activity, socialization and food.”

The good news? Anyone can adopt Mediterranean eating principles and reap the benefits. “The current 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans are very similar to the Mediterranean diet in that they focus on half of your plate as fruits and vegetables, a bit more than one-fourth grains and a bit less than one-fourth protein,” Diekman says.

“The Mediterranean diet is actually one of the most basic, healthful programs you can do,” Metsovas says. “Aside from the weight loss, you have so many other benefits to your health that will stay with you forever.”

during the holidays and through the year

When your feelings of holiday cheer are complicated by grief over the loss of a loved one, it may be a good time to reframe your seasonal traditions.

The experience of grief is as varied as there are individuals. But, for many, significant events such as holidays, birthdays or anniversaries can trigger more intense feelings of loss.

Louise Cackowski is a licensed professional counselor and bereavement coordinator for South Coast Hospice and Palliative Care. As the holidays approach, she encourages people to re-examine family traditions, skip those that are uncomfortable, or find a new way to honor loved ones who have passed.

“The rule is, there is no rule,” she said. “If (families) can sit down together and plan ahead it’ll save a lot of heartache.

Ask what would be most important and meaningful to each person.”

Advice on handling grief — offered by well meaning friends and family members — can be helpful, or frustrating.

Take what works, ignore what doesn’t, suggests Lynne Meininger, licensed clinical social worker and bereavement coordinator for Coastal Home Health and Hospice.

“Be kind to yourself. Try not to put too many expectations on yourself or others,” said Meininger.

Find help through hospice care, support groups or individual counseling Hospice professionals provide medical support for patients with life threatening illness and help families anticipate and cope with loss. Caring for a sick loved one is challenging, said Meininger. She recommends patients or caregivers contact their primary health provider to ask about referrals for hospice and other health support programs.

Though there’s no set time frame for grief, you should feel like you’re moving forward, says Linda Furman Grile, South Coast Hospice executive director. When you feel “stuck,” it’s time to look for help.

Grief support groups led by professional counselors provide a safe, confidential environment for individuals to share their experiences and move forward in their grief. Free groups are facilitated in several locations in Coos and Curry counties.

Individual grief counseling is a good option for many, including those who are not enrolled in hospice.

“I’ve learned a lot about tolerance and understanding that other people’s grief may not be like my own,” she said.

Families may want to change traditions even before a loved one has passed. Celebrating the holidays early, or in a different location, to include a sick family member can be rewarding for all involved.

In a culture that focuses on prolonging life, death can be a bewildering topic, according to Furman Grile.

“Honor and respect each other’s wishes, even if it means changing traditions,” she said.

Move It

BY BEV BENNETT CTW Features

You feel muscle strain when you hoist a gallon container of milk from the refrigerated case at the supermarket. No wonder it’s disheartening to watch someone effortlessly run across the street before the light changes or gracefully lift a child.

Although you may think a loss of stamina and strength naturally occurs during your mature years, that doesn’t have to be the case. You can slow or even reverse the decline, health researchers say.

The problem may not be your age, but your lack of challenging exercise.

“A lot of physical changes we associate with aging are due to inactivity,” says Stephen D. Ball, Ph.D., University of Missouri Extension exercise physiologist, Columbia, Mo. You need physical activity both for your continued good health and your “healthspan” – the number of years you’re functioning at a high level, according to Marcas Bamman, Ph.D., University of Alabama at Birmingham.

However, experts differ on how strenuous your physical activity should be.

Walking, for example, is healthful.

“Just walking more leads to life benefits,” says Andrew Duxbury, M.D., geriatrician, University of Alabama at Birmingham.

It’s also practical, especially if you don’t enjoy going to the gym and prefer to use the home treadmill as a towel rack.

But if you want the strength to keep up your daily chores such as grocery shopping and the vigor to enjoy what you love, you need to do more, according to Bamman.

“I advocate strongly for vigorous, highintensity exercise,” says Bamman, an exercise physiologist and researcher who studies strength training and mobility.

His recommendation includes both aerobic (cardiovascular) fitness and strength training.

Bamman makes a distinction between a body-conditioning regimen and everyday activities, such as walking the dog. (See sidebar on fun activities that may be good for you.)

Low-intensity work, such as walking, has a health benefit, but “not the fitness benefit of a higher intensity workout,” Bamman says.

er-rep regimen if you want to improve your fitness. And your goal should be a level of fitness that allows you the lifestyle you want.

Your revitalization starts with strength training. You can halt the frailty that comes with aging, Ball says.

If you’re not sure how to start strength building, consider working with a personal trainer.

As you build strength in your legs and other parts of your body, you may reduce your risk of falling. You may also reduce bone loss, according to Ball, who is part of a program offered through the University of Missouri extension to help older adults become comfortable with strength training.

Your mindset may improve as well.

You’ll have a sense of independence and

satisfaction, according to Bamman.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends you do musclestrengthening activities that include your body’s major muscle groups at least twice a week.

In his research, Bamman worked with 65- to 75-year-olds in a program of highintensity strength training.

“They established fitness and physical capacity that matched people who are 35 years younger. This is not a situation where a person has to throw up (his) hands and say it’s too late,” Bamman says. The best news is that strength gains come early in a fitness program.

As you incorporate strength training into your routine, don’t overlook aerobic exercise, which improves your stamina and may

reduce your risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes and depression.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise each week.

As you’re counting repetitions or laps, know that there’s a payoff for pushing yourself.

You may have stopped doing things that give you pleasure, such as playing tennis or gardening, because your knees are bad or your hips bother you.

Then, as you develop muscles, you’re less likely to experience pain in your hips or knees.

“All the lifestyle things you enjoy doing will be easier to do,” Bamman says.

If your idea of moving doesn’t include jogging or doing reps in the weight room, can you get health benefits by doing less vigorous activities?

Yes, experts say.

You can find activities that you actually enjoy doing and that also aid your wellbeing, according to Andrew Duxbury, M.D., geriatrician, University of Alabama at Birmingham.

He suggests social dancing, golf or water exercise.

“Water exercise is well-known to be good for people with arthritis in the hips or knees,” Duxbury says.

Even routine chores, such as housework, may count as physical activity.

“The bending and lifting will help,” Duxbury says.

Your hobbies can also be your activity. Take gardening for instance. You’re pulling weeds, digging up flowerbeds and hauling dirt.

“Gardening can easily be considered a moderate activity,” says Bradley J. Cardinal, Ph.D., professor of exercise and sport science, Oregon State University, Corvallis. “With gardening, you’re working your legs, your upper back, your arms, bending and getting up,” Cardinal says.

In fact, gardening and walking are the two most prominent activities reported by older adults, he says. There are caveats, however, even if you’re having fun. Make sure the activity is a safe one, suitable for your general condition.

“Be aware of your capacity and don’t overdo it,” Cardinal says.

Breaking activities into several short time spans can be less taxing, especially if you have a health condition that limits your movement. Cardinal’s recent research suggests that short bouts of exercise that add up to 30 minutes a day can be beneficial.

“If you have rheumatoid arthritis, doing small amounts during the day may make the activity a little more bearable; less uncomfortable,” the Oregon State expert says.

“I wouldn’t discourage people from doing something they enjoy,” Cardinal adds.

YOGURT-BERRY BRÛLÉE WITH MAPLE ALMOND BRITTLE You may think that making crème brûlée requires blowtorches, welder’s glasses and asbestos gloves. But I’ve come up with an alternative method that doesn’t involve having to whip out the torch. Instead, a sweet, crunchy brittle is made in the oven, with only one requirement: keeping a very close eye on it as it cooks. The brittle is perched atop a delectable bowl of berry-studded sweetened Greek yogurt, which is just as creamy as the egg-, dairy-, and sugar-laden custard typical in crème brûlée, and it also brings a host of health benefits to the table.

BRITTLE INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons Grade B maple syrup 2 tablespoons sliced almonds 1 ⁄8 teaspoon ground cardamom

MAPLE-SCENTED YOGURT INGREDIENTS 2 cups organic plain Greek yogurt 11⁄4 cups fresh berries, any type 1 teaspoon Grade B maple syrup

PREPARATION To make the brittle, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and turn the oven light on. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Spread the oil on the parchment paper with a paper towel or brush, covering the parchment with a thin, even film of oil.

Combine the maple syrup, almonds and cardamom in a small bowl. Pour the mixture onto the oiled parchment paper, then tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, staying close to the oven. The syrup will first become bubbly, then, after another 2 or 3 minutes, the almonds will take on a nice golden color and the syrup will have a deep amber color.

At this point, remove the brittle from the oven and let cool to room temperature. To make it easier to break into pieces, you can pop it into the freezer for about 5 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, lift the hardened brittle and break it into randomly sized pieces. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.

To make the yogurt mixture and assemble the dish, put the yogurt, 1 cup of the berries and the maple syrup in a bowl and stir gently to combine.

Just before serving, spoon the yogurt mixture onto dessert dishes, top with the brittle and scatter the remaining 1⁄2 cup berries around the edges.

Variation: Elevate this recipe by incorporating roasted strawberries and their juices as a layer.

PREPARATION Position one oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler and another rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 1 Put the eggs, yogurt, thyme, pepper, nutmeg and ⁄2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl and whisk until the eggs are frothy and only very small lumps of yogurt remain.

Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and a pinch of salt and sauté until just golden, about 6 minutes. Put the Swiss chard on top of the leeks and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the chard. Cover and let the chard steam just until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.

Arrange the tomatoes on top of the chard.

Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes and make sure it seeps through the greens; you may need to gently shift the greens a bit to help with this. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and almond flour over the top.

Bake on the center rack of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the eggs are set.

Turn the oven to broil and move the skillet to the top rack.

Broil for 1 minute, until the cheese and almond flours are golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Variations: Make this frittata dairy-free by substituting 2 tablespoons of water for the yogurt and omitting the cheese.

Feel free to substitute spinach or kale for the chard.
