North Bend hires city administrator The World NORTH BEND — The North Bend City Council approved a two-year contract for a new city administrator, acting at its Tuesday, Sept. 22, meeting. David A. Milliron, currently of Morganton, Ga., will assume the city government helm on Oct. 5. “I am honored to join the City of North Bend and work with an outstanding team of professionals in one of the most vibrant communities along the Oregon coast,” Milliron said. “This is a city with a bold future, and I look

forward to working closely with its partners and stakeholders to build on its accomplishments, increase economic opportunities for residents and businesses, and enhance a quality of life while preserving the charm of North Bend.” The City Council’s search for a new administrator was launched by the retirement of Terence O’Connor, who had been city administrator since January 2012. North Bend Mayor Rick Wetherell said Milliron “was selected from a highly qualified

group of candidates, and we are excited to have him here.” Milliron was among three candidates in the final review that involved not only City Council, but community leaders and local administrators, as well as virtual receptions for the community and city staff. Milliron comes from an extensive private sector background in communications, education and information technology, before he took on progressively responsible positions in the public sector. He has more than 12 years of experience in local government

work, having previously held executive management positions four cities in Georgia and Kentucky. Milliron has a master’s degree in public administration from Valdosta State University and holds certifications as a local government finance officer, certified economic developer, and certified public manager through the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at The University of Georgia. He also holds credentialed manager status with the International City/County

nity. “This is a wonderful humanitarian effort and we are pleased to be recipients,” said Christine Roberts, coordinator of Coastal Harvest. Roberts, who is a member of the LDS Church, said the organization has not received anything

like this before but she has tasted some of the food the LDS Church not only delivers, but also produces and processes in Salt Lake City and other locations. “Their salsa is amazing and the spaghetti sauce has a lot of flavor,” Roberts said.

“This is amazing,” Roberts added, while wondering at the same time where they’d put all the food. But it all fit in the Coastal Harvest warehouse and food distribution center at 11th Street and

according to a press release on behalf of the port from Margaret Barber, director of external affairs. There will be no on-dock truck service until the dock structure is fully completed. It is estimated that the plant will be fully operational within the next two to three weeks. Over a seven-month period, the port has worked with contracted crews and community stakeholders to build the new facility. Following a catastrophic fire in late December 2019, the port developed plans for a new

facility guided by the priorities expressed by the local commercial fishing industry, Barber said. It was determined that the availability of flake ice in the Charleston Marina was critical to sustaining and maintaining the commercial fishing industry in the region. In addition, increasing the ice making and storage capacity was a priority in the new facility to ensure that the needs of the industry could be met during the high seasons. “Although there are finish work items that remain to be

completed including trim and detail work, the manufacturer of the ice making equipment has been on site to conduct test production and make final modifications to the system over the past several weeks,” Barber said. “The equipment manufacturer has provided extensive training for port staff in how to operate the equipment both safely and effectively, with the final training session taking place the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 11. Test ice production began on Sept. 1, which provided

COOS BAY — Local organizers are planning two different events on Saturday: A rally and “Trump Train” parade featuring right-wing leader Joey Gibson and a wildfire relief drive in opposition to the Gibson event. Local conservative radio host Rob Taylor is planning the rally featuring Gibson. Although Gibson was charged last month for inciting a riot in Portland, Taylor says the rally’s goal is to show a “huge opposition to lawlessness” in rural areas. “We don’t want Coos County to turn into Portland,” Taylor said, referring to protests that have occurred nightly in a few square blocks of that city and resulted in some injuries and damage to property. Progressive activists in the community say that, as a direct response to Taylor’s event, they plan to collect donations for residents of the Rogue Valley recovering from Oregon’s devastating wildfires at a “Rally for Rogue Valley.” Organizer and local pastor Israel Jurich says they’ll be collecting items like tents, electric camp stoves and new socks and underwear. “I oppose the fascists and the alt-right,” Jurich said in an email. “It is my sincere hope that our Rally for Rogue Valley communicates that resistance to fascism is a work of love and inspires a sense of rivalry with our political opponents that encourages them to outdo us in generosity and compassion.” Supplies donated at the event, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. near Front Street Community Bike Works, will be brought to Talent, through Rogue Valley Mutual Aid Fire Support, according to the event’s Facebook page. Meanwhile, Taylor’s rally will meet from noon to 2 p.m. on the Coos Bay boardwalk. Organizers have been in contact with Coos Bay Police, which plans to have a presence at the event. “We will have adequate patrols available to respond should there be any issues that require additional law enforcement,” Coos Bay Deputy Chief Chris Chapanar said. Portland has been a focus for Gibson, whose Patriot Prayer group frequently clashes violently with left-leaning protesters and has attracted the support of white supremacists. One such clash in May led Gibson’s supporters to a Portland pub where anti-fascist protesters were gathered, the Portland newspaper Willamette Week re-

SOUTH COAST — Over the past four months, while 50 million Americans filed new jobless claims, Deseret Transportation trucks have crisscrossed the United States carrying hundreds of thousands of pounds of food each week from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints storehouses to a vast array of organizations feeding the needy. Oregon’s South Coast was one of the recent recipients of these truckloads of staples, including flour, canned meats, canned beans and vegetables and other foods with long shelf lives. Thursday, Bandon’s Coastal Harvest received 20,000 pounds of food, with the other 20,000 headed to the Port Orford food pantry. Food was delivered last week to seven volunteer and nonproft distribution points along the South Coast, including South Coast Food Share in Coos Bay, the Reedsport and Lakeside food pantries, and the Mapleton and Florence food shares — a total of 160,000 pounds of food. Each of those food assistance programs will distribute the goods to people in the commu-

North Bend volunteers help deliver California aid to fire-ravaged Oregon The World EUGENE — Local firefighters and volunteers, including some from North Bend, received over $150,000 in supplies to deliver to Oregon’s worst-hit fire-zones. Over the weekend of Sept. 19, volunteers with Reach Out WorldWide, a California-based nonprofit founded by Paul Walker, met at the Eugene Airport to receive incoming donations and oversee distribution to various evacuee resource sites across the state, including the Evacuee Distribution Center at the Masonic Lodge in Eugene, the Lane County Public Health Department, Glide Revitalization, CalOre Life Flight in Gold Beach, Living Waters Church in Medford, and more. The volunteers included North Bend firefighter Luke Rector and his wife, Leah, as well as their friends Tiffany and Mark Hubbard, also of North Bend, and former Bay Cities Ambulance worker Sean Arrington and his wife, Danielle, who now live in Roseburg. The supply distribution was carried out as ROWW phase 1 response to the West Coast wildfires. Twenty volunteer pilots from across California loaded their planes with direct relief-donated material at Santa Barbara Airport on Saturday morning, Sept. 19, before departing for

Pivot Plan is critical for small business survival JEREMY FIELD

U.S. Small Business Administration

MARK GREGORY

Oregon Small Business Development Center

When people describe entrepreneurs and small business owners as resilient, there has never been a time when that has been truer than this year. As small businesses in Oregon deal with unforgiving wildfires on top of the impact felt by the Coronavirus pandemic, businesses need to rethink and retool how they do business in order to survive. A pivot plan is critical. Being a small business owner can often feel lonely, with the world, clients and employees weighing on their shoulders. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Oregon Small Business Development Center (SBDC) want one message to ring clear for businesses figuring out a pivot plan: You are not alone. The SBDC network is the largest resource partner funded by the SBA and provides oneon-one business advising at no cost to entrepreneurs. Whether it’s creating a resiliency plan, navigating options for financing, reworking a marketing plan, or establishing new operations systems, SBDC certified advisers walk business owners through their options so they can confidently make tough decisions about their business. Right now, there are three things every small business must do to successfully pivot and move their business forward: Don’t panic. The resources for small business are some of the greatest in history and you are not in this alone. Look for opportunities. Business pivots and changes in consumer behavior provide opportunities toward innovation, new market strategies and operational efficiency. Negotiate well. We are all in this together and whether negotiation involves lease agreements, established contracts, or future business, strategic negotiation is a cornerstone of successful businesses. SBDC advisers are actively helping Oregon businesses recover from wildfires and the pandemic with these three things already. In fact, more than 5,200 small businesses have received technical assistance from the Oregon SBDC since March. Plus, Oregon small businesses have been approved for more than $9.2 billion in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, SBA COVID-19 Economic In-

jury Disaster Loans (EIDL), and EIDL Advances, thanks in part to SBDC advisers. Thanks to the CARES Act, the SBA provided the Oregon SBDC with additional funding to expand the Oregon SBDC Capital Access Team. Composed of business advisers with financial backgrounds and retired bankers, these experts participated in numerous webinars with clients, partners, banks, and public agencies. CARES Act resources have also allowed SBDC centers across the state to expand advising support to nearly twice as many clients served compared to the previous six-month period. Working together with local partners, SBA staff and SBDC advisers have educated small businesses about the financing programs and helped guide business owners through the process. And both of our organizations continue to guide businesses through the PPP forgiveness process and other Coronavirus business support, along with disaster preparedness and recovery resources related to this summer’s wildfires. Looking forward, new statewide advising services focused on restaurateurs are underway. This is utilizing restaurant advisers from the Oregon SBDC along with new advisers through an agreement with the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association. Survey assessments of both restaurants and travel industry businesses continue through collaboration with Business Oregon, the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association, and Travel Oregon. This is not the first obstacle small businesses have had to face. It will certainly not be the last either. One thing is for certain though: for decades, the SBA and Oregon SBDC have been there to empower small businesses to weather the storm and we’ll continue to do so through every stage of a business’ lifecycle. (Jeremy Field is the Regional Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Pacific Northwest Region which serves Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. The SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small businesses with resources to start, grow, expand or recover.) (Mark Gregory is the State Director of the Oregon Small Business Development Center (SBDC), an SBA-funded Resource Partner. The SBDC network provides management and technical assistance to help Americans start, run and grow their own businesses.)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Coquille PD seeks donations for Shop with Heroes program On Saturday, Dec. 19, we will host the annual Christmas Shop with the Heroes Program. We are extremely grateful for the contributions we received in the past from local citizens, businesses and community service organizations and we are looking forward to your contributions again this year. This year the Shop with the Heroes event will look much different as we will not be able to bus kids to the local Walmart. We will still have sign-ups and will do the shopping for the kids based on the information provided to us. We will then have a pickup event, with designated pick up times, that will be limited to only a few kids at a time. Even though 2020 looks a lot different we are excited to be able to help the families within the Coquille School District and to give children from 2 years old through eighth grade a special Christmas. All of this is not possible without contributions from our community. If you would like to help, please provide your donations in person to the City of Coquille Police or Fire Station or mail a check or money order to 851 N. Central Blvd. Coquille OR 97423. Please make checks payable to: City of Coquille, Shop with Heroes. All donations are tax deductible and all proceeds go directly to the program.

My name is Crystal Shoji. I am a local business owner and I am writing to share that Cal Mukumoto is my choice for Oregon State Representative, District 9. He is active statewide, serving in the past on the Oregon Board of Forestry, and currently chairing the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission. Cal’s expertise in forestry and his experience in implementing sustainable management of public and private forests is key in developing statewide programs and policies. These programs and policies will help Oregon recover from wildfires and move forward to resolve problems that will likely continue to plague our state in the coming years. Cal will “dig in” to understand the problems of the Oregon Coast community, including those faced by veterans, education for youth, training for the workforce, and the delivery of rural healthcare to our communities.

Cal is here for our communities on the Oregon Coast. He will work across the board to support the programs that we need to sustain our quality of life. Vote for Cal Mukumoto for Oregon’s future. Crystal Shoji Local business owner Coos Bay

Animals as food is hurting our health While we debate the composition of our nation’s Supreme Court, there can be no debate about the supreme suffering taking place in our nation’s factory farms. Recent undercover investigations show male baby chicks suffocated in plastic garbage bags or ground alive because they can’t lay eggs. Laying hens are packed into small wire cages that tear out their feathers. Breeding sows spend their entire lives pregnant in metal cages. Dairy cows are artificially impregnated each year, and their babies are snatched from them at birth, so we can drink their milk. I found more details at https:// dayforanimals.org – World Farmed Animals Day, launched in 1983 to memorialize the tens of billions of animals tormented and killed for food. I learned that raising animals for food is also hurting our health and the health of our planet. Each of us has to choose whether to subsidize these atrocities with our food dollars. My choice has been to replace animal products in my diet with the healthful, cruelty-free plantbased meats and dairy products, as well as the rich selection of fruits and vegetables offered by my supermarket. A quick internet search provided lots of recipes and sound advice. Sincerely, Carson Barnes Coos Bay

Oregon needs Mukumoto’s abilities in Salem As recent events have shown, our climate continues to experience a slow but steady increase in temperature. It is essential that our elected representatives in Salem not only acknowledge that, but also have the education and practical knowledge to to work collaboratively with all interest groups for our future. Cal Mukumoto is the only candidate running in Oregon House District 9 that meets those qualifications. Due to Cal’s education and extensive experience in forestry, he will not depend on advice from lobbyists and special interest groups. Rather, he will work to manage our forests, fisheries, tourist and business infrastructures for the benefit of all citizens in District 9.

Vote as if facts matter In 1845, Scientific American was founded by an inventor. At that time, the publication reported mostly on patent office inventions, such as methods to buoy ships and universal joints in machinery. Since then, it has chronicled scientific advancements that benefit society in many arenas, medicine/health, nutrition, food production, etc. The publishers have never entered into political discussion, until now. If you Google this magazine, you will see this: “Scientific American Endorses Joe Biden. We’ve never backed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history — until now” They go on to explain: “The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people — because he rejects evidence and science. The most devastating example is his dishonest and inept response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which cost more than 190,000 Americans their lives by the middle of September. He has also attacked environmental protections, medical care, and the researchers and public science agencies that help this country prepare for its greatest challenges.” This action by this prestigious organization underscores the importance of facts, reason and science. As a former science teacher in the Coos Bay schools, I urge all to vote as if facts matter. Jamie Fereday Coos Bay

The World

Trump nominates Barrett for Supreme Court CHICAGO (AP) — Although Amy Coney Barrett is the president’s choice to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she is more aptly described as heir to another departed Supreme Court justice: conservative hero Antonin Scalia. Like Scalia, for whom she once clerked, she is a committed Roman Catholic and a devotee of his favored interpretation of the Constitution known as originalism. Those qualifications delight many on the right but dismay liberals who fear her votes could result in the chipping away of some laws, especially the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. President Donald Trump nominated the 48-yearold federal court appellate judge from South Bend, Indiana, at a Rose Garden press conference Saturday. In remarks moments after Trump named her, with her husband and their seven children looking on, Barrett paid homage to Ginsburg. “I will be mindful of who came before me,” she said, citing Ginsburg’s career as a trailblazer for women’s rights. “She not only broke glass ceilings; she smashed them.” But Barrett also highlighted how she is, in her approach to the law, a polar opposite to Ginsburg. She said of Scalia: “His judicial philosophy is mine, too.” Her nomination sets

Barrett on the path to help conservatives hold sway over the court for decades. It’s as sure to energize the president’s base as it is to galvanize his foes heading to Election Day. Senate Republican leaders have said they have the votes to confirm her this year, likely before November’s election. Beyond the election, Barrett’s elevation could bring a national reckoning over abortion, an issue that has bitterly divided many Americans for almost half a century. The idea of overturning or gutting Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision, has been an animating political issue exploited by both sides. Her writings and speeches show a commitment to originalism, a concept that involves justices endeavoring to decipher original meanings of texts in assessing whether someone’s rights have been violated. Many liberals say that approach is too rigid and doesn’t allow the Constitution’s consequences to adjust to changing times. On abortion, questions have arisen about Barrett’s involvement in organizations that vigorously oppose it. But she has not said publicly she would, if given the chance, seek to scale back rights affirmed by the high court. Barrett has been a federal judge since 2017, when Trump nominated her to the Chicago-based

7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But as a longtime University of Notre Dame law professor, she had already established herself as a reliable conservative in Scalia’s mold. She gained a reputation as a Scalia clerk in the late 1990s as bright and adept at picking apart poorly reasoned arguments. Ara Lovitt, who clerked with her, recalled at her investiture ceremony for the 7th Circuit that Scalia had high praise for her. “‘Isn’t Amy great,’” Lovitt remembers Scalia saying. On Saturday, Barrett also referenced the close friendship between Ginsburg and fellow opera lover Scalia, saying Ginsburg showed that justices can disagree on principles “without rancor in person.” Before becoming a judge, Barrett discussed how court precedents provide welcome stability in the law. But she seemed to leave the door open to the possibility of reversing ones about which there remained sharp disagreement. “Once a precedent is deeply rooted,” a 2017 article in the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law, which Barrett co-wrote, said, “the Court is no longer required to deal with the question of the precedent’s correctness.” But it added: “None of this is to say that a Justice cannot attempt to

overturn long-established precedent. While institutional features may hinder that effort, a Justice is free to try.” Barrett and her husband, Jesse Barrett, a former federal prosecutor, both graduated from Notre Dame Law School. Their seven children include two adopted from Haiti and one with special needs. Trump said Saturday that Barrett would be the first female justice to serve with small children. Looking at her kids in the front row, the president said: “Thank you for sharing your mom.” Barrett would be the only justice on the current court not to have received her law degree from an Ivy League school. The eight current justices all attended either Harvard or Yale. If she is confirmed, six of the nine justices will be Catholic. How her religious beliefs might guide her legal views became a focus for some Democrats during bruising confirmation hearings after Barrett’s 7th Circuit nomination. That prompted Republicans to accuse Democrats of seeking to impose a religious test on Barrett’s fitness for the job. At Notre Dame, where Barrett began teaching at 30, she often invoked God in articles and speeches. In a 2006 address, she encouraged graduating law students to see their careers

as a means to “building the kingdom of God.” She was considered a finalist in 2018 for the high court before Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh for the seat that opened when Justice Anthony Kennedy retired. Even some conservatives worried her sparse judicial record made it too hard to predict how she might rule, concerned she could end up like other seemingly conservatives who wound up more moderate. Three years on, her record now includes around 100 opinions and dissents, in which she often illustrated Scalia’s influence by delving deep into historical minutiae to glean the meaning of original texts. In a 2019 dissent in a gun-rights case, Barrett argued a person convicted of a nonviolent felony shouldn’t be automatically barred from owning a gun. All but a few pages of her 37-page dissent were devoted to the history of gun laws in the 18th and 19th centuries. Barrett twice joined dissenting opinions asking for abortion-related decisions to be thrown out and reheard by the full court. Last year, after a three-judge panel blocked an Indiana law that would make it harder for minors to have an abortion without her parents being notified, Barrett voted to have the case reheard by the full court. Barrett’s financial disclo-

sures show ties to a number of conservative groups. She and her husband have investments worth between $845,000 and $2.8 million, according to her 2019 financial disclosure report. Judges report the value of their investments in ranges. Their money is invested mostly in mutual funds. When she was nominated to the appeals court in 2017, Barrett reported assets of just over $2 million, including her home in Indiana worth nearly $425,000, and a mortgage with a balance of $175,000. In the two previous years, Barrett received $4,200 in two equal payments from Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian law firm, her financial report shows. In 2018 and 2019, she participated in 10 events sponsored by the Federalist Society, which paid for her transportation, meals and lodging in several cities. Barrett was raised in New Orleans and was the eldest child of a Shell Oil Co. lawyer. She earned her undergraduate degree in English literature in 1994 at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. She also clerked for Laurence Silberman for a year at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Between clerkships and entering academia, she worked from 1999 to 2001 at a law firm in Washington, Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Northern California’s wine country was on fire again Monday as strong winds fanned flames in the already badly scorched region, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes in the dark of night. Residents of the Oakmont Gardens assisted living home in Santa Rosa boarded brightly lit city buses overnight, some wearing bathrobes and using walkers. They wore masks to protect against the coronavirus as orange flames marked the dark sky. Flames also engulfed the Chateau Boswell Winery north of St. Helena. The Adventist Health St. Helena hospital suspended care and transferred all patients elsewhere, according to a statement on its website. “We just don’t have words,” state Sen. Mike McGuire, a Democrat who represents Healdsburg, told KTVU-2 in Oakland. “It’s an incredibly trying and emotional time right now.” The fires that began Sunday in the famed Napa-Sonoma wine country north of San Francisco came on the third anniversary of deadly wildfires that erupted in 2017, including one that killed 22 people. The latest inferno began with the Glass Fire at 3:50 a.m. Sunday and two subsequent fires merged with it, burning 17 square miles as of early Monday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire

Protection, or Cal Fire. Officials did not have an estimate of people under evacuation but Paul Lowenthal, Cal Fire spokesman, said more than 13,000 homes were threatened in Santa Rosa alone. He estimates tens of thousands of people are under evacuation warnings or orders. “In some parts of Santa Rosa, they’re mopping up hot spots,” he said. “In other parts, they’re still actively fighting fire.” Sonoma County Supervisor Susan Gorin evacuated her home in the Oakmont community of Santa Rosa about 1 a.m. She is rebuilding a home damaged in the 2017 fires. Gorin told the San Francisco Chronicle that she is numb, and the situation feels surreal. “It’s like God has no sympathy, no empathy for Sonoma County,” she told the news publication. Numerous studies in recent years have linked bigger wildfires in America to global warming from the burning of coal, oil and gas, especially because climate change has made California much drier. A drier California means plants are more flammable. Evacuations were also ordered in Shasta County as

the Zogg Fire spread over 23 square miles (59 square kilometers). Residences are widely scattered in the forested area, about 10 miles southwest of the city of Redding in a region torched just two years ago by the massive and deadly Carr Fire — infamously remembered for producing a huge tornado-like fire whirl. The causes of the new fires were under investigation. The fires erupted as a giant ridge of high pressure settled over the West, producing powerful gusts blowing from the interior toward the coast while slashing humidity levels and raising temperatures, making vegetation ready to burn. During the weekend, Pacific Gas & Electric turned off electricity to targeted areas where the winds raised the potential for arcing or other power equipment damage that could spark new fires. The utility’s equipment has caused previous disasters, including the 2018 Camp Fire that devastated the Sierra Nevada foothills town of Paradise and killed 85 people. So far this year, more than 8,100 California wildfires have scorched 5,780

square miles, destroyed more than 7,000 buildings and killed 26 people. Most of the losses occurred after a frenzy of dry lightning strikes in mid-August ignited a massive outbreak of fires. Fire worries were

also developing Monday across Southern California although it was unclear how strong predicted Santa Ana winds would be. Heat and extreme dryness were expected to be problematic nonetheless. Conditions were also hot,

dry and windy in parts of Arizona, where the Sears Fire in Tonto National Forest north of Phoenix has grown to more than 14 square miles since it erupted Friday afternoon. Authorities reported zero containment.

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren Many reach out to offer help to grieving widower DEAR ABBY: Your advice to the grieving widower “In Need of Someone” (June 22) was spot on. I met my husband when I was 14. We married at 18, and he died when he was 44. After his death, I had no idea how to be a person because I had always been a partner. In the early years, I cried every day and was searching, like “In Need,” to fill that empty spot in my life. Then one day, I started figuring out what to do about the other holes in my life. I had not been the breadwinner, so my income was poverty-level. I had no college and not a lot of work experience. I knew if I was going to be able to keep my house and put my kids in college, I had to work on these other holes. In the process of school, working three jobs and keeping up with life, I realized I had never thought about what was important to ME. Over the years I have seen several close friends lose partners and go through exactly what “In Need” and I have experienced. Your advice is so true. Volunteer. Get a part-time job doing something you like or a job that will just give you someone to talk to. Go to a support group, go to a church, but do not get into a serious relationship, because if you do, you will go from one dependent situation to another. Every person I know who went right into another relationship later regretted it. The new person is not your lost partner, never will be and will never measure up. Go into a relationship only if you are willing to let the past go and are willing to change YOU. Be open to another opinion and a new lifestyle. You might like doing something you never thought you would see yourself doing before. You are not going to know unless you try. Do not look for a Band-Aid to fix the emptiness. Look for a seed to plant and nurture, and be prepared to be amazed at the beauty that will be opened up to you. -- SHELLY IN ILLINOIS DEAR SHELLY: Thank you for sharing the important life lessons you have learned. Other caring readers also responded to encourage “In Need” as he moves forward: DEAR ABBY: I lost my husband after 30 years together. I’m still working on getting “from hollow to whole,” as “In Need” wrote. Your advice that he should “figure out the boundary between where you left off and your wife began” is an important insight. I’ve never heard this from a grief counselor,

but it’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do for the past three months. You can’t live with someone else if you can’t live with yourself. I’m working on becoming whole again, and it’s happening slowly. “In Need” should do the same. It may take longer, but it works better. -- TAMMY IN OREGON DEAR ABBY: “In Need” should get some hobbies. If I met a nice person and was considering pursuing a relationship and I found out he had no hobbies, no outside interests or friends beyond his late spouse, I would be gone. Among my friends, I don’t know a single one who would want a relationship with someone whose life was totally wrapped up in his spouse and “needed” a replacement. -- NANCY IN NEW MEXICO DEAR ABBY: After my wife died, I joined Widowed Information and Consultation Services in my home state. It was a wonderful way to be with others who had lost their mates, and it helped me realize I wasn’t the only one going through this. Also, I decided to say “yes” to any invitations from friends to join them for dinner or a social gathering. Being around others helped to stave off the loneliness. In addition, I decided to travel by myself to Europe for a month, joining a group tour. I eventually found a wonderful lady, also a widow, and we have been married 15 years. -- ROBERT IN WASHINGTON DEAR ABBY: “In Need” should consider adopting a pet, a dog or cat, that will love him unconditionally. Because of my pets, I am never alone, always loved and have creatures who depend on me. It might make the days ahead easier for that widower. I wish him the best. -- MICHAEL IN THE MIDWEST ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Facebook’s hazard analysis in Tierra Del Mar to be independently reviewed HILARY DORSEY Country Media

TIERRA DEL MAR — The Oregon Department of State Lands announced Friday, Sept. 11, that they have decided to have Facebook’s hazard analysis, conducted by ERM-West, Inc. and peer reviewed by Geosyntec Consultants, Inc., independently reviewed. The analysis was prepared in response to the drill break that occurred on April 28, during the drilling operation for the Jupiter subsea cable system in Tierra Del Mar, southwest of Tillamook. “We don’t yet know who will do that, so no ETA yet on when we may accept the analysis as final,” DSL Communications Manager Ali Ryan Hansen said of the independent review. Edge Cable Holdings, LLC, a subcontractor of Facebook, notified the Oregon Department of State Lands on April 28 of the snapped drill pipe, which was being replaced at a depth that ranged from 50-70 feet. Approximately 1,100 feet of drill pipe, a drill tip, two tools for drill steering and tracking, and approximately 6,500 gallons of drilling fluid were abandoned in the ocean. “It was a very unusual event,” said Kevin Salvadori, director of Network Investments at Facebook.

Salvadori said when the incident occurred, the team recovered as much as they could. DSL had requested that Edge Cable provide an analysis of potential health, safety and environmental impacts due to the presence of the equipment, as well as a geotechnical survey. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department also required Edge Cable to provide an independent hazard analysis, evaluating potential impacts to the economic, scenic and recreational values of the ocean shore. After consulting with relevant state agencies, Tillamook County and the Army Corps of Engineers, Facebook commissioned an independent hazard study conducted by ERM-West, Inc. and peer reviewed by Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. Nikki Payne, from ERM, said the study was conducted and analyzed by a team, including a toxicologist and local geologist. The team analyzed the current situation. According to the hazard analysis, “there are currently no adverse environmental, scenic, recreational or economic impacts resulting from the drill break or presence of remaining materials to the surrounding environment and result in future impacts.” Kevin Salvadori, director of Network Investments at

Facebook, said in a previous article that when the incident occurred, the team recovered as much as they could. In August, DSL notified Edge Cable Holdings LLC of actions needed to comply with the terms of their communications cable easement agreement. Abandonment of equipment following a drill pipe break resulted in Edge Cable effectively storing equipment under the Oregon seafloor, which was not allowed under their easement agreement. DSL stated in an update that DSL and Edge Cable have agreed on an amendment to the easement agreement. The amendment includes: a $250,000 payment to DSL; increasing the required surety bond from $20,000 to $100,000; notice requirement for any future breaks or accidents; and providing DSL with plans for drill break avoidance and response, as well as a cable construction plan. Edge Cable intends to submit an application for an encroachment easement, DSL added. An encroachment easement would allow the abandoned equipment to remain beneath the seafloor. “When received, the application will be reviewed by DSL staff for completeness,” DSL said. “If the application is determined to be complete, it will be circulated for review and comment.”

Trevor Taylor, stewardship section manager for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, said during an OPRD commission meeting Wednesday, Sept. 16, that at this point, both DSL and OPRD are coordinating a response to the drill break. Edge Cable’s permit with OPRD remains valid at this time. Edge Cable is also requesting to drill a new bore hole, Taylor added. “We’re requesting updated plans that the new bore hole will be in a different location,” Taylor said. “They’re proposing it be directly below the existing bore hole.” Taylor said OPRD is preparing comments on Edge Cable’s analysis, as they were some missing key elements. There is also a potential lawsuit Oregon Coast Alliance is pursuing under the Clean Waters Act. “There is nothing rescinding our permit currently,” Taylor said. “It’s in place and there’s nothing they’ve done that technically violates it, other than if there is a hazard associated with the project, we would need to respond to that, including the potential for a hazard.” OPRD will be working with Edge on that front, Taylor added.

South Coast recovering from job losses The World SOUTH COAST — Coos County total payroll employment rose by 250 jobs in August, continuing gains from the pandemic losses earlier in the year, according to a press release from Guy Tauer of the Oregon Employement Department. Private-sector employment changes were small and included job gains in professional and business services (+40); retail trade (+30); construction (+20); and private education and health services (+20). Manufacturing lost 30 jobs, mostly due to a decline in wood product manufacturing employment. Over the year total payroll employment fell by 1,670 jobs, a drop of 7.3 percent. The largest decline, accounting for about one-third of total job losses, was in leisure and hospitality (-370). Job losses were widespread outside of a few jobs gained over the year in food stores (+10) and general merchandise stores (+40). Sectors with substantial job loss also included retail trade (-160); private education and health services (-150); professional and business services (-100); and construction (-90). Government employment fell by 580 over the year with losses estimated in local education (-250) and Indian tribal local government (-290). Curry County added 250 jobs over the month,

with 110 of those in leisure and hospitality. Small gains were also estimated in construction (+30); retail trade (+30); and health care (+20). Government employment rose by 30 in August, with the loss of 20 jobs in local government education offset by a gain of 50 jobs in federal government. Over the year, total payroll employment fell by 780 jobs, down 11.0 percent. Declines occurred in leisure and hospitality jobs (-340) along with losses in retail trade (-80); manufacturing (-80); private education and health services (-60); and financial activities (-50). The Oregon Employment Department plans to release the September county and metropolitan area unemployment rates and employment survey data on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and the statewide unemployment rate and employment survey data for September on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Federal judge postpones ban on TikTok The World

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge on Sunday postponed a Trump administration order that would have banned the popular video sharing app TikTok from U.S. smartphone app stores around midnight. A more comprehensive ban remains scheduled for November, about a week after the presidential election. The judge, Carl Nichols of the U.S District Court for the District of Columbia, did not agree to postpone the later ban. The ruling followed an emergency hearing Sunday morning in which lawyers for TikTok argued that the administration’s app-store ban would infringe on First Amendment rights and do irreparable harm to the business. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump declared that TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, was a threat to national security and that it must either sell its U.S. operations to Ameri-

can companies or be barred from the country. TikTok is still scrambling to firm up a deal tentatively struck a week ago in which it would partner with Oracle, a huge database-software company, and Walmart in an effort to win the blessing of both the Chinese and American governments. In the meantime, it is fighting to keep the app available in the U.S. TikTok said in a statement that it was pleased with the court ruling and continues to work to turn its deal proposal into an actual agreement. The Commerce Department, which is responsible for the specific orders banning TikTok, said it will comply with the judge’s order but intends to vigorously defend the administration’s efforts against the app. Judge Nichols did not explain his reasoning publicly, and instead filed his judicial opinion under seal. Initially both the U.S.

government’s brief in the case and the entire Sunday morning hearing were also due to be sealed from the public, although the court later relented. In arguments to Judge Nichols, TikTok lawyer John Hall said that TikTok is more than an app, since it functions as a “modern day version of a town square.” “If that prohibition goes into effect at midnight, the consequences immediately are grave,’” Hall said. “It would be no different than the government locking the doors to a public forum, roping off that town square” at a time when a free exchange of ideas is necessary heading into a polarized election. TikTok lawyers also argued that a ban on the app would affect the ability of tens of thousands of potential viewers and content creators to express themselves every month and would also hurt its ability to hire new talent. In ad-

dition, Hall argued that a ban would prevent existing users from automatically receiving security updates, eroding national security. Justice Department lawyer Daniel Schwei said that Chinese companies are not purely private and are subject to intrusive laws compelling their cooperation with intelligence agencies. The Justice Department has also argued that economic regulations of this nature generally are not subject to First Amendment scrutiny. “This is the most immediate national security threat,” argued Schwei. “It is a threat today. It is a risk today and therefore it deserves to be addressed today even while other things are ongoing and playing out.” Schwei also argued that TikTok lawyers failed to prove the company would suffer irreparable business harm. The Justice Department laid out its objections to

TikTok’s motion for a temporary injunction in a brief under seal, but it was unsealed in redacted form to protect confidential business information. Trump set the process in motion with executive orders in August that declared TikTok and another Chinese app, WeChat, threats to national security. The White House says the video service is a security risk because the personal information of its millions of U.S. users could be handed over to Chinese authorities. Trump has given tentative approval to a proposed deal in which Oracle and Walmart could initially own a combined 20% of a new U.S. entity, TikTok Global. But Trump also said he could retract his approval if Oracle doesn’t have “total control” of the company; the president did not explain what he meant by that. The deal remains unfinalized, and the two

sides have also appeared at odds over the corporate structure of TikTok Global. ByteDance said last week that it will still own 80% of the U.S. entity after a financing round. Oracle, meanwhile, put out a statement saying that Americans “will be the majority and ByteDance will have no ownership in TikTok Global.” Government-owned media in China have criticized the deal as bullying and extortion. ByteDance said Thursday it has applied for a Chinese technology export license after Beijing tightened control over exports last month in an effort to gain leverage over Washington’s attempt to force an outright sale of TikTok to U.S. owners. China’s foreign ministry has said the government will “take necessary measures” to safeguard its companies but gave no indication what steps it can take to affect TikTok’s fate in the United States.

PORTLAND (AP) — Police say a right-wing rally and counter-protests in Portland, Oregon, have largely dispersed without serious violence Saturday, though they are investigating an assault after one person who was documenting the event was pushed to the ground and kicked in the face. Separately, police said a criminal citation was issued after officials confiscated firearms, paintball guns, baseball bats and shields from a pick-up truck that was initially stopped for having obscured license plates as it left the rally. Several hundred people, dozens of them wearing militarized body armor, gathered to support President Donald Trump and his “law and order” reelection

campaign Saturday afternoon. The attendance was far fewer than the 10,000 organizers had expected after tensions boiled over nationwide following the decision not to charge officers in Louisville, Kentucky, for killing Breonna Taylor. Organized by the Proud Boys, a group that has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the rally was described as a free speech event to support Trump and police and condemn anti-fascists, “domestic terrorism” and “violent gangs of rioting felons” in the streets. Local and state elected officials forcefully condemned the event and rushed to shore up law enforcement ranks as

left-wing groups organized several rallies to oppose the Proud Boys’ message. About 1,000 counter-protesters gathered at another park. The events began at noon and were largely dispersed by 3 p.m. The Oregon Department of Transportation shut down the interstate highway for a brief time to help control the crowd and flow of traffic. “The purpose of this closure was to clear some people out of the area who wanted to leave and to keep competing groups separate,” said Chris Liedle, a spokesman with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, in updates posted on Twitter, as the city had braced for the threat of violence with multiple rallies in the area.

PORTLAND (AP) — Criticism of the law enforcement response to a protest in Portland, Oregon, late Saturday into early Sunday prompted Gov. Kate Brown to ask authorities to review “any alleged incidents” involving their officers. The governor said in a series of tweets Sunday evening that she was committed to building trust in the community. She asked Oregon State Police Superintendent Travis Hampton, Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese and Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell to take another look at what happened during their joint operations that night.

“Journalists and law enforcement officers have difficult jobs to do during these demonstrations, but I do still believe that we can protect free speech and keep the peace,” Brown tweeted. Videos from the demonstration in downtown Portland showed police grabbing a news photographer and pushing him to ground as he was trying to document them tackling and detaining a person on a sidewalk, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. Freelance photographer John Rudoff was wearing a helmet with “PRESS” stickers affixed to it. He told the outlet on Sunday that he’s “physically OK

but am quite annoyed.” One video appears to show an officer push a journalist into a tree, causing the journalist to drop the camera. Oregon Public Broadcasting Editor Anna Griffin retweeted the video, writing, “I’d also love to hear elected officials explain why a reporter from my organization was subject to violence at the hands of law enforcement when judges have made it very clear this is not acceptable.” Another online video showed an officer apparently deploying a chemical spray in the face of a man who was yelling at police and waving a sign toward them.

Fillmore Avenue, which also houses the organization’s thrift store, started last year by Roberts. Bandon Supply owns the building and gives Coastal Harvest a discounted rental rate, and also sent over a forklift driver Thursday to move the pallets of food into the building. Cory Wright of Bandon Supply expertly packed in the goods. A crew of Coastal Harvest volunteers were also on hand to help. “I have never said no to food,” Roberts said. “It’s strictly dry goods so that will be easy.” Victor Pettijohn, communications director for the LDS stake wards from Florence to Brookings and stake president Dr. Steven Tersigni said the church has been involved in helping victims of recent wildfires and decided to also include food pantries along the South Coast after doing some polling of food assistance needs. “How the food is distributed is up to the recipients (at the food pantries),” Pettijohn said. “It’s not tied to our church at all. We know it will be distributed properly.” Pettijohn added that anyone who comes to the church asking for food assistance can get help from the Bishop’s Storehouse Closet. The church will write an order and a box truck will make a delivery to that area. “The church can respond quickly anywhere in the the world,” Pettijohn said. “We’d really like to acknowledge the great work and the infrastructures that exist that we can plug into so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel. The church deeply appreciates the work and service provided by local food shares and pantries who continue to serve those in our community with

the opportunity to fully vet the equipment with the intention of addressing any issues within the system while the manufacturer has been on site.” The new plant will increase ice making and storage capacity to ensure adequate access for resident and traveling fishing fleets. Storage capacity will increase from 115 to 158 tons, and production from 2 to 5 tons per hour. The added production will

improve service delivery times in the high seasons, which will in turn increase availability and reduce potential delays due to high demand versus production ratio. “As the third largest fishing hub in the State of Oregon, it was critical that the port took immediate action to rebuild the facility,” Barber said. “The new plant will serve as one of the few public ice docks in the state, ensuring that fleets from throughout the state and West Coast will have ice readily accessible to preserve their catch.”

Their existing infrastructure is invaluable in allowing others, like the church, to assist in this important humanitarian effort. It wouldn’t happen without them.” The far-flung effort to help America’s food banks during the COVID-19 pandemic is now the biggest humanitarian project in the history of the LDS Church, its leaders have said. Beginning in mid-March, the church began to roll an additional 15 trucks a week out of its Bishops’ Central Storehouse in Salt Lake City. Over 16 weeks, the church has dispatched 240 truckloads beyond its normal capacity. Each truck carries 40,000 pounds of food, enough to feed 1,400 people for a week, according to Bishop Gérald Caussé, the Presiding Bishop of the church. The trucks have rolled out of Utah to points up and down the eastern seaboard, from New Hampshire to Tennessee and Florida, and across the breadth of the country to Oregon, Washington and the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona and New Mexico, according to a review of dozens of

news reports. The food relief is a single part of a global effort by the church to provide relief during the pandemic. The church now has provided pandemic-related aid through more than 630 projects in over 130 countries, Bishop Caussé said. “The COVID-19 pandemic has now become the largest-ever humanitarian project of the church,” President Russell M. Nelson told the Church News. “Any way you want to measure it, this is now the largest.” Bandon resident Susan DeSalvatore, a friend of Roberts who helps with Coastal Harvest was amazed at the amount of food delivered Thursday. “You know the motto of Coastal Harvest is ‘If you have too much, you build a bigger table’ and the LDS Church has made sure we can fill that larger table,” DeSalvatore said. “Their generosity is overwhelming,” said Mark Lavell, Coastal Harvest treasurer. “People have been amazing. It’s crazy good. I’m speechless.” Other Bandon food assistance groups will receive donations from the LDS

Train” after the event on Saturday, driving vehicles decorated in support of President Donald Trump north on U.S. Highway 101, according to Taylor and the event’s Facebook page. Taylor’s group will need a city special events permit only if more than 10 cars are in a caravan through city streets, according to

City Operations Manager Randy Dixon. At the same time, Jurich hopes the wildfire relief drive will “demonstrate our vision of a society of liberty and justice.” “Anyone can come down and donate, even if they disagree with our political ideas,” Jurich said. “This is about meeting needs.”

Management Association. The City of North Bend started its search for a new city administrator this spring when Terence O’Connor announced a retirement date of June 30. The City Council contracted with Jensen Strategies of Portland to conduct the search and facilitate the hiring process. With the process hindered by the current

COVID-19 pandemic, O’Connor agreed to stay in the post through Sept. 18 on a short-term contract. David and his wife Barb are looking forward to finding their “forever home” in North Bend with their two clumber spaniels — Mr. Snuffleupagus and Cody — and being closer to family members who already live in the Pacific Northwest. Citizens will be able to contact Milliron at dmilliron@northbendcity.org or 541-756-8536 after his contract starts on Oct. 5.

Competitions start this week for Marshfield, NB No fans will be allowed for games, track meets JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — It will be volleyball unlike any contested in the Bay Area when Marshfield hosts North Bend and Powers on Wednesday in the first of a series of competitions during the socalled Oregon School Activities Association’s first season. First off, there will be no fans. Second, the games won’t count

for any standings. Third, the players and coaches all will be wearing masks. But the biggest change? The matches will be played on the turf field at Pete Susick Stadium. Also starting this week, North Bend and Marshfield will play the first in a series of baseball and softball games and hold the first of four track meets, also including athletes from Powers. After a spring when all competitions were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic and OSAA reshuffling the schedule so that official sports seasons won’t start until the last days of the calendar year, just having a

chance to participate is a bonus. “The thing that’s exciting … I was down there getting the three (volleyball) nets set up last week and kids showed up,” Marshfield athletic director Greg Mulkey said. “The first group that showed up was the middle school kids, they had almost three full teams. Then the high school kids showed up and then the track athletes. “You don’t know how good that felt having the kids down there running around and all doing the things they should be doing. There’s no doubt the kids are excited and the coaches, too. I know I am.”

Because of the pandemic, fans won’t be allowed at any of the competitions over the coming weeks, which will be held at the facilities for Marshfield and North Bend. The first baseball and softball games will be Thursday. The first track meet is Friday. Later in the fall, the schools will shift their focus from the current four sports to boys and girls soccer and seven-on-seven football. Mulkey said he is happy Marshfield’s athletes and those for North Bend and Powers get to do some competitions when many other schools aren’t.

Myrtle Point won’t be doing competitions, but is giving its athletes a chance to practice every sport. “We are very excited for this opportunity to get our kids playing again,” Myrtle Point athletic director Jennifer Sproul said. “We are using a format that will get the most kids involved as quickly as possible, which is why we are going to offer all sports every week.” In Myrtle Point’s model, which started last week, fall sports conditioning and training is held on Mondays, winter sports on Tuesdays and spring sports on Wednesdays, with general conditioning on Thursdays.

SWOCC softball facility gets turf surface JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — The shiniest new sports field on the South Coast is one that will benefit a lot more than the school that owns it. Over the weekend, workers installed the turf field at the Southwestern Oregon Community College softball facility. Though the dugouts are still being completed, the field is pretty much ready to go. Now, when the next softball season begins for the Lakers, as well as for the area’s high school teams, rain won’t keep games from being played. “Megan said it best,” SWOCC athletic director Mike Herbert said of Lakers softball coach Megan Corriea. “She said it’s not just for the softball team — it’s for the community in our minds.” That includes area high school teams, as well as youth baseball clubs. “Local softball programs won’t get rained out,” Herbert said. “If the field’s available, and we can get them here, we will play.” That’s consistent with how SWOCC has treated area schools for years. “We’ve always tried to do right by the schools when they’ve asked for gym space and time,” Herbert said. “Baseball and softball are hardest to do that because if their fields are bad, ours are, too.” The thought of having a turf softball field has been milling around for years. The time was just right to get it done now,

The new turf has been installed at the Southwestern Oregon Community College softball facility. One of the dugouts, still under construction, can be seen in the back. Herbert said. The project has been financed using money that can only be spent on facilities, not on employees. “This doesn’t happen without our facility department and director kind of organizing this,” Herbert said of Emerald Brunet. “Also administrative people and the executive team approving the project. It doesn’t happen without all those people helping us.” The project actually has progressed fairly quickly, the old grass and field being removed, the new fence and backstop installed, the base layer for the field being installed and leveled and finally, in just a few days, the new turf being put in. “The turf guys worked all weekend,” Herbert said. “They do a good job.” The contractor for the turf installation, Northwest Sports Turf, is a company led by Ryan

Starwalt, the head baseball coach at Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis. The dugouts, on the other hand, are being built by the same company completing the new Health & Science Technology Building, Bogatay Construction. And they are coming with no cost to the school, Herbert said. “Bogatay volunteered the lumber and the time to build the dugouts for us,” Herbert said. “That’s pretty impressive.” He said the company has a tradition of giving back to the community when it does a project, and that owner Matt Bogatay told Herbert it wanted to do that for the Lakers. “He wanted to do something for athletics,” Herbert said. “I showed him the softball field. He said, ‘Why don’t I do the dugouts for you.’” Bogatay is from Klamath Falls and likes to support Oregon,

Herbert said. The company often has purchased meals for its large work crew from area restaurants or SWOCC’s culinary school. “They want to be local to Oregon,” Herbert said. In this instance, they have a tie to the college as well. Jesse Schade, the on-site project manager for Bogatay, graduated from North Bend High School and played basketball at SWOCC under former coach Tom Nicholls, Herbert said. There is no current plans for turfing the infield of SWOCC’s baseball field, a project that would be quite expensive. But the softball team will have the new field as it prepares for the season, scheduled to start early next year as part of what will be a very busy time for the Lakers, provided the pandemic has calmed down enough for athletics to proceed. The current schedule calls for all the seasons to overlap. The volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball and softball seasons all will be contested in the winter and spring along with the other NWAC schools. Add golf, cross country and track and field to those sports, as well as the Lakers’ two sports that are NJCAA sports — swimming and, if it can be held given its contact nature, wrestling. The current plan calls for the volleyball and basketball seasons to include just South Region games for the Lakers with matching schedules — when the basketball teams are home, the volleyball teams will be on the road, playing the league foes in a triple-round-robin format.

Boys & Girls Club delays sports seasons to 2021 The World Mirroring the Oregon School Activities Association schedule, the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon has postponed its sports seasons until 2021. But the club is planning upcoming volleyball and basketball skills camps. As for the delayed sports seasons, Boys & Girls Club sports director Garrett Stout said that many school and community facilities are not available for teams was a large factor in the decision.

“We are hopeful that come December we will be able to have teams practice in local facilities,” Stout said. The current plan is for the volleyball season to run from Jan. 16-Feb. 20, the basketball season to run from March 13-April 24 and the track and field season to run from May 8-June 12. For more information on the sports schedule, contact Stout by phone at 541-267-6573 or email at gstout@greatfutures.org.

Heat to meet James, Lakers in NBA finals LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — It was exactly one year ago Sunday when Jimmy Butler walked into the Miami Heat practice gym, took a seat on a makeshift stage and said he wanted to be part of the team’s next title run. He’ll have that chance. The Heat are going to the NBA Finals — surprising many, perhaps, but not themselves. Bam Adebayo scored a season-high 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, Butler scored 22 points and the Heat won the Eastern Conference finals for the sixth time by topping the Boston Celtics 125-113 on Sunday night. “A great series. It was so competitive,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I mean, in many ways, this was a seven-game series, just how competitive it was. Extremely well-coached and well-put together and we are just honored to be a part of that type of series in the conference finals, and then we get an opportunity for the next stage. Our guys will look forward to it. We’re going to try to enjoy it for a night.” The Heat won the series 4-2 — and now, waiting on that next stage to decide the NBA title, are LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Game 1 is Wednesday night. Tyler Herro scored 19 points,

Duncan Robinson and Andre Iguodala each had 15 and Goran Dragic added 13 for the Heat. “We deserve to be here,” Dragic said. Jaylen Brown scored 26 points, Jayson Tatum had 24 and a career-high 11 assists, and Marcus Smart and Kemba Walker each scored 20 points for Boston — which fell in the East finals for the third time in the last four seasons. “Miami deserves a lot of credit,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. “They’re super physical, super tough, very, very savvy. I think they’re the best team in the East and deserve to be representing the East in the way that they have played.” Miami was down by six early in the fourth before regaining control. A 6-0 burst — Herro had the last five of those points, needing only 31 seconds to do so — tied it at 96. Boston took the lead twice more, with Adebayo answering both times, first with a dunk, then a go-ahead threepoint play with 6:16 left. He smacked the floor in celebration. It’s like they knew what was coming. They never trailed again. Herro had a pair of baskets in a 9-0 burst that put the Heat up by 10, Adebayo found Butler

for a layup and a 116-102 lead everyone on the Heat bench was on their feet.

Lakers win West LeBron James wore out the path to the NBA Finals in the Eastern Conference, making annual trips out of Miami and Cleveland. Now he’s the best in the West. And for the first time in a decade, so are the Los Angeles Lakers. James punctuated his 27th postseason triple-double with a big fourth quarter, powering the Lakers to a 117-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night to win the Western Conference finals in five games. James finished with 38 points,

16 rebounds and 10 assists to become the fourth player to reach 10 NBA Finals. It took him two seasons to make it with the Lakers, after falling short of the playoffs in an injury-plagued first season following eight consecutive trips with Miami and Cleveland. “For me personally the job is not done,” James said. “For us as a franchise, I’m extremely proud to be a part of this franchise getting back to where it belongs and that’s playing for championships and competing for championships, representing the Western Conference this year in the championships. So, this is what I came here for.” The Lakers will face either Miami or Boston in their 32nd NBA Finals appearance, most in league history. They haven’t played for the title since beating the Celtics in 2010 for the last of their 16 championships and hadn’t even made the postseason in the last six seasons. Anthony Davis added 27 points and will end his first season with Los Angeles by playing in his first NBA Finals. “We battled through a lot this year starting with the beginning of the season and we know the job’s not done,” Davis said during a trophy presentation in

Kurt Busch finally gets win at home track Kurt Busch ends 0-for21 streak at home track LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two decades of heartbreak at his home track finally ended for Kurt Busch when a little bit of luck fell his way at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Busch happened to be the leader when a late caution Sunday night jumbled the field and put him in control of his 0-for-21 losing streak in his hometown. He had three magnificent restarts, including one in overtime, to steal a vital playoff race. The good timing helped Busch sneak his way into the third round of the NASCAR Cup playoffs. He had been ranked last among the 12 title contenders before the race; now he’s guaranteed a slot in

the round of eight. “This is 20 years of agony and defeat and today triumph,” Busch said. “I don’t know if I have any gas left or if I just filled my tank up to go win every race. This is my hometown and I have so many people to thank and I know they are watching on television so proud of their hometown driver.” The win, the first of the season for the 2004 Cup champion, was celebrated alongside younger brother, Kyle. The reigning NASCAR champion slammed doors with his big brother on the cool-down lap. Busch then took the checkered flag to the finish line and smacked it on each of the letters in Las Vegas. “This is what kids dream of when they grow

up racing. You dream of winning at your hometown track,” said Busch, “and for two decades it’s kicked my butt.” It was the first win of the year for Chip Ganassi Racing and the first in the playoffs for a Chevrolet driver. Busch happened to be the leader during a a round of green flag pit stops interrupted with 32 laps remaining by just the fifth caution of the race. It cycled him to the lead for the ensuing restart and he had an incredible jump to control the front. Busch did it two more times, including a final restart in overtime, to deny the challengers any shot at catching him. Matt DiBenedetto, eliminated from the playoffs

last weekend, finished second in a Ford for Wood Brothers Racing in his best finish of the season. After the race, he reiterated he wants an extension to continue driving the No. 21 next season. “I love driving for the Wood Brothers, I want that (win) No. 100 for them so bad,” DiBenedetto said. The team has a deadline this week to inform DiBenedetto if he’s being extended for next year. Denny Hamlin dominated the race until the cautions jumbled the finish but rallied to finish third in a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. He first gambled to pit for new tires to give him a shot to work through traffic, then chose the top lane in the overtime shootout in a mad scramble to catch Busch. Hamlin led 121 of the 268 laps. “By far the best car I’ve had in Las Vegas in a long time,” Hamlin said.

a mostly empty arena at Disney World, instead of in front of their fans at Staples Center. “It’s a great feeling but we’ve got four more to win.” Nikola Jokic and Jerami Grant each scored 20 points for the Nuggets, who had fought off elimination six times before the Lakers finally put them away. Jamal Murray added 19 points and eight assists but the star guard struggled with foot pain and lacked his usual explosiveness. The Nuggets had come back from 3-1 down in the first two rounds before being finally ousted a month since they would have departed the bubble had they lost the first time they faced elimination, in Game 5 against Utah on Aug. 25. “It’s not the end goal but to make it as far and surprise as many people as we did, it’s a good feeling,” Murray said. “So, try to come back next year and try to come back stronger.” Denver fell far behind one more time but James wouldn’t allow another comeback. He scored 16 points in the fourth quarter. “I don’t know if I’ve ever witnessed a guy take over a game the way he did in the fourth quarter tonight in person,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said.

Hamilton quest for Formula One wins record delayed SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Lewis Hamilton’s toughest opponents in the Russian Grand Prix weren’t even on the track. They were in the stewards’ office. Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas cruised to the win Sunday after Hamilton, who was leading, was penalized 10 seconds for practicing his starts in the wrong place before the race. Hamilton came into the race looking to match Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 wins in Formula One but had to settle for third behind Bottas and Max Verstappen. Bottas built a sizeable lead over Verstappen with ease and eased to his first win since the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix. Hamilton was already under investigation by the stewards when he

started the race from pole position. Before the race he twice stopped to perform practice starts at the exit of the pit lane, rather than in the designated area. That eventually earned him two five-second penalties, dropping him as low as 11th at one stage. Hamilton said he and Mercedes were under “a lot of scrutiny” from officials and that it sometimes felt as if that they were being targeted by the stewards “to keep the racing exciting” because of their dominant position in the championship. “It feels like we’re fighting uphill. But it’s OK. It’s not like I haven’t faced adversity before. So we just keep our heads down and keep fighting and keep trying to do a better job and be cleaner and squeaky clean,” he said.

Falcons blow another big lead, lose to Bears Atlanta is first team to lose two straight games when leading by 15 or more points ATLANTA (AP) — The Falcons suffered their second straight fourth-quarter collapse after leading by two touchdowns, this time to backup quarterback Nick Foles and the Chicago Bears, who rallied from a 16-point deficit for a 30-26 win on Sunday that could spell the end for Atlanta coach Dan Quinn. Foles replaced Mitchell Trubisky and threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter for the Bears, who improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2013. The Falcons (0-3) became the first team in NFL history lose back-to-back games in which it led by 15 or more points in the final period, according to STATS. A week ago, Atlanta became a national laughingstock after failing to pounce on an onside kick, allowing the Dallas Cowboys to finish off their comeback from a 39-24 deficit to win 40-39 on a field goal as time expired. Under Quinn, the Falcons also blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl after the 2016 season and lost in overtime to the New England Patriots. This time, it was Foles who guided the improbable comeback after relieving the erratic Trubisky in the third quarter. The former Super Bowl MVP had two apparent touchdown passes overturned by official reviews — and still managed to pull out the victory. After the Falcons went threeand-out on their third straight possession, Foles heaved one with a rusher in his face and connected with Anthony Miller for a 28-yard touchdown with 1:53 remaining. Foles finished 16 of 29 for 188 yards. SEAHAWKS 38, COWBOYS 31

SEATTLE — DK Metcalf made up for a huge first-half blunder by catching a 29-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson with 1:47 remaining, and Seattle held off Dallas. Wilson threw five touchdown passes, setting a record for most scoring passes in the first three games of a season with 14. Patrick Mahomes threw for 13 TDs in his MVP season of 2018. Wilson became the first QB to have at least four TD passes in each of the first three games. Metcalf appeared to have a walkin touchdown after hauling in a deep pass from Wilson late in the first quarter. But he was careless with the ball in the final few steps before the goal line, and Dallas cornerback Trevon Diggs came up from behind and knocked the ball free. It went out of the end zone for a touchback. But when Seattle needed a big play late, Wilson floated a pass into the end zone and allowed Metcalf to run underneath it for the deciding touchdown. Wilson was 27 of 40 for 315 yards. His latest bit of fourth-quarter magic ruined Dak Prescott’s attempt at a second straight major comeback. Dallas trailed 30-15 after Prescott fumbled on the first play of the second half and Wilson subse-

quently threw his fourth TD pass. But Prescott threw TD passes of 42 yards to Cedrick Wilson and 43 yards to Michael Gallup, and Greg Zuerlein’s 42-yard field goal with 4:03 left gave Dallas a 31-30 lead. Prescott finished 37 of 57 for 472 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

BILLS 35, RAMS 32

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen completed a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight Tyler Kroft with 15 seconds remaining, and Buffalo survived to beat Los Angeles after squandering a 25-point lead. The Rams (2-1) were poised to match the third-largest comeback in NFL regular season history after Jared Goff led the team to touchdowns on four straight drives, capped by Darrell Henderson’s 1-yard run with 4:30 remaining. Allen responded by marching the Bills (3-0) on an 11-play, 75-yard drive, which was extended by a pass interference penalty against Darious Williams on fourth-and-7 from the Rams 12. Williams interfered with intended receiver Gabriel Davis at the 3. One play later, Allen rolled to his left and lobbed a pass over a Rams defender. Kroft made a leaping catch and secured the ball before tumbling to the ground, his second TD of the game. Allen finished with four touchdown passes and scored on a 1-yard run. The third-year starter, however, contributed to the Rams’ comeback bid, with an interception and a lost fumble leading to Los Angeles touchdown drives.

PACKERS 37, SAINTS 30

NEW ORLEANS — Aaron Rodgers passed for 283 yards and three touchdowns, and Green Bay remained unbeaten with a win over New Orleans. Allen Lazard caught six passes for 146 yards for Green Bay (3-0), including gains of 48 and 72 yards on throws deep downfield that each set up touchdowns. Rodgers’ scoring passes went for 5 yards to Lazard, 18 yards to tight end Marcedes Lewis and 1 yard to tight end Robert Tonyan. Lazard’s longest catch set up Aaron Jones’ 1-yard TD run. Saints running back Alvin Kamara built on a sensational start to the season, gaining 197 yards from scrimmage and scoring twice on short passes from Drew Brees, with shifty, tackle-slipping runs after the catch. Brees completed 29 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three TDs. Emmanuel Sanders caught a 10-yard scoring pass at the end of the first half that gave the Saints a 17-13 lead. Wil Lutz kicked three field goals for the Saints (1-2).

BENGALS 23, EAGLES 23

PHILADELPHIA — Joe Burrow tossed a pair of touchdown passes to Tee Higgins in regulation and Carson Wentz dove into the end zone for the tying score in the final minute as Cincinnati and Philadelphia played to a tie. Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott lined up for a 59-yard field goal with 19 seconds left in overtime, but a false start on Matt Pryor forced the Eagles to punt it away and play for the tie. Both teams are 0-2-1. Facing an 0-3 start for the first time since 1999, Wentz drove the Eagles 75 yards in the final three minutes. He barreled 9 yards on third-and-6 to the Bengals 19 and then ran in from 7 with a head-first dive into the end zone. Elliott’s extra point tied it with 21 seconds left. Neither team could do anything in overtime. Burrow, the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick, calmly

MINNEAPOLIS — Stephen Gostkowski made his career-high sixth field goal of game, a 55-yarder with 1:48 left that lifted undefeated Tennessee past Minnesota. Derrick Henry rushed for 119 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns for the Titans, who improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2008 after trailing for most of the game. Ryan Tannehill passed for 321 yards, guiding the Titans on a go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter or overtime for the sixth time in 16 games since becoming the starter. The Titans are 12-4 behind Tannehill, including the playoffs, and they’re 15-0 when Henry hits the 100-yard mark. Dalvin Cook rushed for a career-high 181 yards and a score for the Vikings, who are 0-3 for the first time since 2013. Kirk Cousins threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns, hitting Kyle Rudolph for a one-handed, toe-tapping grab in the back of the end zone for a 30-25 lead with 10:22 left. The depleted Vikings defense didn’t do enough to hold it, though, as Tannehill moved the Titans just close enough for Gostkowski to go to work. The last three of his makes were all from 50-plus yards. The Vikings, who were outscored 37-13 in the first half over their first two games, had 464 yards by an offense that finally got going.

BUCCANEERS 28, BRONCOS 10

DENVER — Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes and Shaq Barrett celebrated his homecoming with a pair of sacks, one for a safety, in Tampa Bay’s 28-10 victory over Denver. With his first road win for the Bucs (2-1), Brady evened his career record against the Broncos at 9-9 with just his fifth win in a dozen trips to Denver. The Broncos (0-3) completed a second straight winless September under head coach Vic Fangio, who donned a face shield after getting fined $100,000 for failing to wear a mask last week. Barrett, who led the league last year with 19½ sacks in his first

season in Tampa, picked up his first sacks of this season in the city where he played from 2014-18 after starring at Colorado State. His second sack of Jeff Driskel, who started in place of Drew Lock, came in the end zone for a safety that pushed the Bucs’ lead to 25-10. With his full complement of receivers finally available, Brady looked like the methodical QB he was for two decades in New England, driving the Buccaneers to scores on four of five first-half possessions.

a score. The Patriots have won the last six meetings with the Raiders and improved to 47-9 in regular-season games following a loss. Raiders coach Jon Gruden dropped to 0-3 against Belichick. Derek Carr finished 24 of 32 for 261 yards and a two TDs for Las Vegas. But he had two fumbles which led to a New England field goal and a late touchdown when he lost the ball in the end zone and it was recovered by Calhoun.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Nick Mullens threw for 343 yards and a touchdown to lead San Francisco to its second win at MetLife Stadium in as many weeks, this time over the error-prone and winless New York Giants. Jerick McKinnon, Brandon Aiyuk and Jeff Wilson scored on runs on a nearly flawless day for the Niners (2-1), who stayed in West Virginia to prep for the game. Robbie Gould added three field goals for San Francisco, which last week beat the Jets 31-13 and denied Giants coach Joe Judge a chance for his first win this week. The Niners had quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas (knees) and running backs Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman hurt against the Jets. They complained about the stadium’s new turf after the game, saying it was “sticky” and led to injuries. The Niners’ play on Sunday made it a non-issue as Mullens hit 25 for 36 passes and finished with a rating of 108.9. San Francisco outgained New York 420-231, held the ball for 39:44 and forced three turnovers without giving the ball up.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Matt Prater made a 39-yard field goal as time expired, Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes and Detroit beat Arizona to snap an 11-game losing streak dating to last season. Stafford had a deep completion called back by a holding penalty before he calmly led the Lions downfield, Prater connected on his fourth field goal of the afternoon and the Lions finally got to celebrate a victory. Arizona’s Kyler Murray threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score, but he also had three interceptions. DeAndre Hopkins caught 10 passes for 137 yards and Andy Isabella had two TD receptions. Arizona (2-1) pushed ahead 2320 near the end of the third quarter when Murray connected with Isabella from 4 yards out for the pair’s second score. Duron Harmon, Jamie Collins and rookie Jeff Okudah had Detroit’s three interceptions.

49ERS 36, GIANTS 9

STEELERS 28, TEXANS 21

PITTSBURGH — James Conner ran for 109 yards and the go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter as Pittsburgh rallied past Houston. The Steelers improved to 3-0 for the first time in a decade by putting the clamps on the Texans (0-3) in the second half. Houston managed just 51 yards and two first downs after halftime as an early 11-point lead vanished. Houston started with the same mark in 2018 and rallied to win the AFC South. The game turned early in the fourth quarter when DeShaun Watson threw into double coverage deep in Pittsburgh territory with the Texans leading 21-20. Nickelback Mike Hilton picked it off. Pittsburgh put together a 12-play, 79-yard drive, with Conner covering the last 12 to give the Steelers the lead with 6:24 to go. Pittsburgh’s defense then forced its third three-and-out of the second half and Conner did most of the rest as the Steelers chewed up the last 4:47 to ice it. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns in his franchise-record 221st appearance.

PATRIOTS 36, RAIDERS 20

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bill Belichick became the third coach in NFL history to reach 275 regular-season victories and Rex Burkhead scored three touchdowns to lead New England past Las Vegas. Belichick joined George Halas (318) and Don Shula (328) as the only coaches to reach the milestone. Sony Michel finished with nine carries for 117 yards. Burkhead had two rushing scores and an 11-yard TD reception. Cam Newton was 17 of 28 passing for 162 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Shilique Calhoun had two forced fumbles and Deatrich Wise Jr. had a fumble recovery for

LIONS 26, CARDINALS 23

BROWNS 34, WASHINGTON 20

CLEVELAND — Baker Mayfield threw two touchdown passes, Nick Chubb ran for two more and Cleveland beat the Washington Football Team to move over .500 for the first time since 2014. Washington lost rookie defensive end Chase Young to a groin injury. With their second straight win under first-year coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns are 2-1 for the first time since 2011. It’s also the first time they’ve had a winning record since Week 14 in 2014. Young, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, left in the second quarter with his injury. Led by Myles Garrett, the Browns’ defense intercepted Dwayne Haskins three times. Garrett’s strip sack and fumble recovery midway through the fourth effectively sealed Cleveland’s win. Mayfield’s 3-yard TD pass to rookie tight end Harrison Bryant with 11:14 left helped the Browns shake off a horrid third quarter, when Washington (1-2) scored two TDs to take the lead. Chubb finished with 108 yards on 19 carries.

COLTS 36, JETS 7

INDIANAPOLIS — Xavier Rhodes and T.J. Carrie each returned an interception for a touchdown, Indianapolis recorded its second safety in as many weeks and Philip Rivers added his 400th career TD pass as Indianapolis routed New York. Rivers played like his old self, getting rid of the ball quickly while avoiding mistakes on a milestone day. The 38-year-old was 17 of 21 with 217 yards and played his first turnover-free game since joining Indy (2-1). He became the sixth player in league history to throw 400 career TD passes and the sixth to top 60,000 yards. And with the help of a suddenly high-scoring defense, Rivers & Co. made it look easy against the winless Jets. New York is 0-3 for the second consecutive season under coach Adam Gase. Darnold was 17 of 27 with 168 yards, one TD and three interceptions.

Leach’s Air Raid offense too much for LSU in opener BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — New Mississippi State coach Mike Leach put his “Air Raid” offense in the hands of a transfer quarterback who showed up over the summer and the results were like nothing defending national champion LSU or the Southeastern Conference has ever seen. K.J. Costello passed for an SEC record 623 yards and five touchdowns and the Bulldogs knocked off sixth-ranked LSU 44-34 on Saturday. “I don’t know if any individual could visualize this taking place,” said Costello, who was Stanford’s starter in 2017 and 2018 before head and hand injuries sidelined him last season. “I wasn’t visualizing sitting here breaking

records. ... I’m excited about the potential that this offense has because, believe it or not, we did leave a lot on the field today.” Costello’s passing yardage in his first game since moving from Silicon Valley to Starkville, Mississippi, eclipsed the 544 yards Georgia’s Eric Zeier had against Southern Mississippi in 1993 to set the conference record. And Costello needed most of it to make up for his two interceptions and two lost fumbles, which helped LSU rally to tie the game at 34 before he engineered two late scoring drives. “With this group, I don’t feel like we ever lose momentum,” Costello said. “I feel like we’re always in the attack mode. That’s just

Leach’s philosophy.” LSU became the first defending national champion to lose its opening game since Michigan in 1998 lost at Notre Dame and had its 16-game winning streak, the nation’s best, snapped. “Coach Leach had his team ready to play. They beat us. We have no excuses,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. “I told the team to put this on me. I’ve got to coach better.” LSU quarterback Myles Brennan intermittently showed promise in his debut as starter in place of 2019 Heisman Trophy winner and top NFL draft choice Joe Burrow. But Brennan’s 345 yards and three touchdowns passing could not make up for the trouble the Tigers’ inexpe-

rienced defense had in new coordinator Bo Pelini’s scheme. “We couldn’t stay with those guys,” Orgeron said. “Too many missed assignments. Too many guys running free, getting beat one on one. We have to look at whether or not we can cover man to man. If we can’t, we are going to have to play more zone.” Four of Costello’s touchdown passes covered between 24 and 75 yards. The longest came on Kylin Hill’s catch and run in which the running back slipped safety Todd Harris’ tackle along the sideline. Osirus Mitchell caught touchdown passes of 43 and 24 yards, the second putting the Bulldogs back up by two scores with 3:39 left.

It was “embarrassing” for a program known as DBU, said LSU safety Jacoby Stevens. “It’s like going into a boxing ring and getting knocked out.” Leach said he was confident his “Air Raid” offense could work in the mighty SEC, because it has before. He was an assistant under Hal Mumme at Kentucky two decades ago when Tim Couch and the Wildcats were setting records. “There’s a lot of offenses that if people are just kind of really committed to the philosophy and you attack the field and you execute, are good offenses,” Leach said, “I don’t think it’s some special secret plays as much as you constantly work every day to execute what you do.”

Transfer linebacker Jabril Cox, who played at FCS power North Dakota State, scored LSU’s opening touchdown on an interception and 14-yard return. LSU’s Terrace Marshall Jr. had touchdown catches of 37 and 33 yards. Freshman tight end Arik Gilbert leaped in front of a defender to turn Brennan’s desperate throw as he was going down into a 2-yard score. But Brennan struggled to make quick and decisive reads. He was sacked seven times. The first of his two interceptions came when linebacker Jordan Davis hit the QB’s elbow as he threw. The ball went straight to cornerback Esaias Furdge at the Bulldogs 24.

The World

Braves, Astros in playoffs with losing records in their playoff-clinch T-shirts on the Busch Stadium field. The Astros and first-year manager Dusty Baker also are in at 29-31. Houston got its spot by finishing second in the AL West, drawing an automatic berth. The only other team in major league history to reach the playoffs with a losing record was the 1981 Kansas City Royals — at 50-53 overall, they made it by winning the second half in a strike-split season. “It’s a celebration. We’re in. We’re in the playoffs. That’s how you see it,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “There’s no reason to apologize for getting into the playoffs.” “The record’s kind of irrelevant in my opinion,” he said. The other AL pairings: Top-seeded Tampa Bay-No. 8 Toronto, No. 2 Oakland-No. 7 Chicago White Sox and No. 3 Minnesota-No. 6 Houston, with all openers Tuesday. In the NL, it’s No. 1 Dodgers-No. 8 Brewers, No. 2 Atlanta-No. 7 Cincinnati, No. 3 Chicago Cubs-No. 6 Miami and No. 4 San Diego-No. 5 St. Louis on Wednesday. Yadier Molina and the Cardinals claimed their spot despite missing 2 1/2 weeks into August after the club was hit by a virus outbreak. St. Louis played a total of 58 games — it was prepared for a doubleheader in Detroit on Monday if needed to settle the playoff picture. “You had to throw some of the expectations out the window not knowing what to expect after

BEN WALKER Associated Press Christian Yelich and the Milwaukee Brewers got off to a ragged start this year. They never got above .500. And they dropped their last game to finish with a losing record. Guess what? They’re going to the playoffs. “Weird. I guess that’s the only way to describe it. It’s fitting for 2020,” Yelich said Sunday. A pandemic-altered, 60-game regular season that many believed would never get completed and saw games postponed because of virus outbreaks, racial injustice protests and a hurricane went into the final day without a single playoff matchup set. Then, in a flurry and fury, the entire, expanded 16-team postseason field was full. Not a bad way to start, either: Gerrit Cole vs. Shane Bieber in a mega-watt duel as the New York Yankees face the Cleveland Indians in the best-of-three wild-card round Tuesday. On Wednesday, the NL gets going. That’s when the Brewers, at 29-31, open their series against Los Angeles ace Walker Buehler at Dodger Stadium. In a win-and-you’re-in game, St. Louis clinched by beating Milwaukee 5-2. But the Brewers also made it when San Francisco lost 5-4 to San Diego for the last wild-card spot. Yelich, the former MVP who hit .205 this year after winning the last two NL batting titles, and the Brewers happily posed for a team picture

taking those couple weeks off and all those doubleheaders and so many new guys,” Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt said. “It was very different, very fulfilling to make the playoffs.” All matchups are best-of-three, with every game hosted by the top seed in ballparks without fans. With no days off, pitching strategies will be paramount, particularly how managers use their bullpens. Following the wildcard rounds, the remaining clubs will move to neutral site bubbles in Texas and Southern California to crown a champion. The biggest losers Sunday were Philadelphia and the Giants. As it turned out, either team would’ve gotten in with a win. “It’s tough sitting here and not thinking (about the playoffs),” Phillies slugger Bryce Harper said after a 5-0 loss at Tampa Bay. “We had opportunities to win games and we just didn’t get it done.” October on deck means the end of seven-inning games and no more automatic runners at second base to begin the 10th, but other new rules implemented this season apply: designated hitters in the National League and relievers must face three batters or end the inning. Nothing else kooky in this 16team tournament, though. Like, no penalty at-bats to decide extra long games. “It’s going to be wild, everything about it,” Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said as the playoffs approached. “Anything can happen, we all know that, and that’s why I think it’s going to be must-see TV

throughout both leagues. It is. I think there’s going to be a lot of surprises, American League, National League, just with the three-game format for the first round,” he said. Nothing scheduled for Monday, but the day after the season is typically busy, too, especially for managers on shaky ground. The Red Sox said Sunday that Ron Roenicke won’t be back next year, and the Angels fired general manager Billy Eppler.

NL batting champion Juan Soto and the World Series champion Washington Nationals missed the playoffs, as did three-time AL MVP Mike Trout. The most dynamic player of his generation, Trout has reached the postseason just once in a 10-year career, getting swept in his lone appearance. “It could have been a different story if we’d have a full season,” the 29-year-old Angels star offered. Said with 20-20 hindsight, of course.

LeMahieu wins batting title in shortened season NEW YORK (AP) — DJ LeMahieu became the first player to win undisputed batting titles in both leagues and Juan Soto the youngest NL champion as Major League Baseball’s shortest regular season since 1878 ended Sunday. Home runs were down from last year’s record level in a mini-season of diminished offense. The .245 big league batting average was the the lowest since .237 in 1968 and down from .252 last year. Indians ace Shane Bieber finished with a 1.63 ERA, the lowest figure to lead the American League since Luis Tiant’s 1.60 for Cleveland in 1968, a year of pitching dominance that caused baseball officials to lower the mound the following year. The average time of a nine-inning game set another new high, at 3 hours, 7 minutes, 46 seconds, up from 3:05:35 last year. While a three-batter minimum was instituted, active rosters expanded from 25 to 28 for the 60-game season and gave managers more pitching options. LeMahieu hit .364 for the New York Yankees, the highest for an AL batting champion since Minnesota’s Joe Mauer hit .365 in 2009 and well ahead of 2019 AL batting champion Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox, who finished second at .322. LeMahieu won the NL batting title with Colorado

in 2016. “I wish it were over 162 games. I wish there were fans in the stands but it is what it is,” LeMahieu said. “I’m definitely proud of it.” He became just the fourth Yankees player to lead the majors in batting average after Lou Gehrig in 1934, Joe DiMaggio in 1939 and Mickey Mantle in 1956. Despite the shorter schedule, no one approached becoming the first .400 hitter since Ted Williams batted . 406 in 1941. Ed Delahanty hit .410 for the Philadelphia Phillies to win the NL batting championship in 1899 and is credited by some researchers with the 1902 AL crown at .376, while others accept Nap Lajoie as winning that title at .378 despite lacking the plate appearances required in more modern times. Luke Voit joined Babe Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Roger Maris and Alex Rodriguez as New York Yankees to top the majors in home runs. Voit’s total of 22 was the fewest for a major league leader since 1918 at the end of the dead ball era but extrapolates to 59 over a full season. LeMahieu and Voit became the first teammates to win batting and home run titles in the same season since the Milwaukee Braves’ Hank Aaron (.355) and Eddie Mathews (46)

in 1959. They are just the fifth pair of teammates to do it, a group that includes Cincinnati’s Cy Seymour and Fred Odell in 1905, Philadelphia’s Billy Hamilton and Delahanty in 1893 and the Chicago White Stockings’ Cap Anson and Jimmy Ryan in 1888. Soto batted .351 for Washington and at 21 years, 11 months, 2 days became the youngest NL batting champion. He surpassed Pete Reiser, who was 22 years, 195 days when he won for Brooklyn in 1941. Al Kaline is the youngest batting champion, winning the 1955 AL title for Detroit at 20 years, 9 months, 6 days. Soto walked and singled Sunday, then came out of the game with a lead over Atlanta’s Freddie Freeman, who finished second at .341. Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna led the NL with 18 homers and 56 RBIs. José Abreu of the Chicago White Sox led the major leagues with 60 RBIs after topping the AL last year with 123. After strikeouts set a record for the 12th straight season last year at an average of 8.81 per team per game, they declined slightly to 8.68. But the gap between hits and strikeouts got even wider despite the short season. Strikeouts had a 189 advantage when they exceeded hits for the first time in 2018, the gap grew to 783 last year and to 1,147 this year despite

only 37% of a normal season’s games. With no fans in ballparks and a revised schedule that restricted teams to their geographic regions — East vs. East, Central vs. Central and West vs. West — home teams had a bigger advantage than usual. Home teams went 500-398 for a .557 winning percentage, the highest since .559 in 2010, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Bieber and the Chicago Cubs’ Yu Darvish tied for the major league lead in wins with eight. The previous low of 14 was set in the strike-shortened 1981 season. Cincinnati’s Trevor Bauer led the NL with a 1.73 ERA. Bieber topped the AL with 122 strikeouts, the fewest to lead since Lefty Grove’s 116 in 1925. With 104, Jacob deGrom topped the NL for the second straight year and had the lowest total for an NL leader, 18 fewer than Louisville’s Jim Devlin during the league’s first season in 1876. Bauer, the Yankees’

Gerrit Cole, Philadelphia’s Aaron Nola and St. Louis’ Adam Wainwright had two complete games each, matching the lowest total for a leader set two years ago. Bauer was the only pitcher with two shutouts; the record-low leader was set when 19 pitchers had one each in 2018. Cleveland closer Brad Hand led the major leagues with 16 saves and Milwaukee lefty Josh Hader topped the NL with 13, both lows since saves became an official statistic in 1969. Kansas City’s Adalberto Mondesi had 24 stolen bases, the lowest total for a major league leader since Luis Aparacio swiped 21 for the Chicago White Sox in 1956. Trevor Story’s 15 for Colorado was an alltime low for an NL leader. There were 45 games postponed for COVID-19-related reasons but just two were not made up, between St. Louis and Detroit. In order to accomplish that, there were 56 doubleheaders, the most since 76 in 1984. About 12% of games were part of

doubleheaders, the highest percentage since 13.6 in 1978. Twenty games were played on Sept. 4, including five doubleheaders, the most since 20 were played on Aug. 4, 1974, when there were nine doubleheaders. Playoffs were expanded from 10 teams to 16, and Milwaukee and Houston (29-31) both had the lowest winning percentage for a playoff team at .483. The previous low was the 2005 San Diego Padres at 82-80 (.506). While Kansas City reached the playoffs in 1981, it was based on the Royals’ 30-23 record in the second half of the season, not their 50-53 record overall. There were 78 extra-inning games, and in the first season in which each extra inning started with a runner on second base, the longest by innings were a pair of 13-inning contests at Houston, won by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 29 and by Oakland on Aug. 7. Every previous season since 1901 had at least one game of 15 innings or longer.

Timbers win again, beating Whitecaps 1-0 PORTLAND (AP) — Felipe Mora scored in the opening minutes and the Timbers held off the Whitecaps 1-0 on Sunday night in Vancouver’s first “home” match in Portland. Travel restrictions forced Major League Soccer’s Canadian teams to find temporary homes in the United States for the remainder of the season. So the Whitecaps will play six more of their remaining nine games at Portland’s Providence Park. Whitecaps signage, including ads for the

team’s sponsors, circled the field Sunday. The team is training at the University of Portland while isolating at a hotel. “We are pro football players so we have to adapt to any situation,” Portland defender Larrys Mabiala said about playing an away match at home. “Of course it’s very weird for us. But crazy things are happening around the world today.” The Whitecaps (5-9-0) were coming off a 6-0 loss to LAFC on Wednesday night. It was the team’s fifth match in 15 days.

The Timbers (7-43) are unbeaten in four straight, including a 1-0 victory over rival Seattle on Wednesday night. Portland, which won the MLS is Back tournament in Florida this past summer, was challenging the defending MLS Cup champions Sounders for the top spot in the Western Conference. Mora scored on a header off a free kick from Eryk Williamson to give the Timbers the early lead. It was Mora’s fourth goal of the season.

Pay attention to expiration dates, personal documents and money matters. Prepare to take on an unexpected change. Leave nothing to chance. A disconnect with someone you've known a long time will encourage you to take control and do things your way. Romance and a lifestyle change are favored. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don't argue over something you cannot change. If you consider every angle, you will recognize how to outmaneuver someone who is trying to take advantage of you. Romance is on the rise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Bring about changes that make you happy. Let go of situations that are holding you back or making you miserable. Create a plan to help you attain personal growth and inner peace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Think twice before you share personal information. Someone will be searching for a way to make you look bad. An emotional situation will escalate if you act on an assumption or get involved in gossip. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's OK to do things differently. Use your skills and knowledge to boost your income. A domestic change will push you to make adjustments that will bring you peace of mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Evaluate your lifestyle, relationships and fitness routines. Putting romance back in your life will bring you closer to a loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Use your imagination, strive to be unique and don't be afraid to share your thoughts and insights. A change will improve how you handle money, health and contractual matters. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take pride in what you do. You will be judged by what you complete and what you leave unfinished. Put a plan in place that will ensure you take care of business. Romance is favored. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A change of mind will turn out well. Follow your gut feeling when dealing with work-related situations. Refuse to put your health at risk. Stand up for your rights and set a good example. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Align yourself with like-minded people. There is safety and strength in numbers. If you want to bring about change, you must fight for what you want. Don't let a smooth-talking outsider take advantage of you or your loved ones. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Use your creative skills to get ahead. A partnership will change the way you view life. Don't settle for less when a slight adjustment can make your experience better. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Keep a close watch over your possessions, finances and domestic situation. Aim to please, but not at the expense of your health or position. Anger will not help you get your way, but preparation and organization will. Romance is encouraged. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Different directions will entice you. Listen to what others say to get a sense of what will work in your favor. Plan carefully and think systematically.

This week in Coos County history: September 27-29 100 YEARS — 1920

L.J. Simpson won third prize on junior heifer calf.

Barley Crop is partly damaged

Want to bond for fire truck

Rain has caused loss for some farmers The grain which has not been cut will be saved if weather is favorable The heavy rains did a great deal of damage to grain crops in the Coquille valley, according to Sheriff Gage, who is here today. The farmers who got caught with their grain cut will suffer considerably loss but others whose grain was not quite ripe will e able to harvest it if there is a short spell of good weather. There is quite a large acreage of barley in the Coquille section this year. L.P. Branstetter had barley planted on the bottom lands and Geo. Davis had 100 acres of bottom rented and planted to the crop. Much of the grain was beaten down by the rain. Davis had about 20 acres of the 100 acres harvested. Mr. Branstetter is trying to save some of the down barley by hauling it off and feeding it to hogs before it spoils and will salvage some of the damaged grain in this way. If the good weather keeps up for a while the barley which has not yet been cut and which was not broken down by the rain should be in good condition if the growers have favorable weather log enough to get it harvested.

Coos Cattle get many prizes L.J. Simpson has grand champion bull Hampton Jersey bull is winner — both Holsteins and Jerseys make great showing Coos county made a great showing with dairy cattle at the state fair and owners of both Holsteins and Jerseys won a number of prizes. Tillamook was represented at the state fair with some fine cattle but Coos county got away with more prizes than the famous dairy county. In the Holstein class, L.J. Simpson with his bull won first prize for senior bull and also grand championship. Dr. George E. Dix won third prize on yearling bull. Herbert Haynes won fifth prize on his cow recently purchased. L.J. Simpson won first prize on junior heifer. Dr. Dix won fourth prize on senior heifer calf.

Matter is presented to North Bend Council Will be put to a vote of the people — community house question is discussed To deleations waited up the city council in North Bend last night. L.A. Loomis presented a petition signed by a large number of voters and taxpayers of the city, asking that a measure be submitted to the voters at the coming election, providing that the city shall ond for a fire engine of the type now in use in Marshfield. The city attorney, A.H. Derbyshire, was asked to prepare a resolution relative to the matter.

50 YEARS — 1970 Break-ins reported at Coos Bay D-9 schools Break-ins in two Coos Bay School District 9 buildings were reported this morning by Elmer Johnson, principal of Marshfield High School, and Lorell Smith, principal at Michigan Avenue School. Johnson said someone broke a window in the language lab to gain entry to Marshfield High School sometime between 8 and 9:15 p.m. Sunday. Vandalized was a beverage machine resulting in minor damage to the machine. A minimum amount of cash was taken because the money had been removed from the machine Friday, Johnson stated. The breakin was discovered by Johnson Sunday night and he conducted a two-hour search of the building but found no further evidence of theft, he said today. Smith reported that someone broke a window in room 109 at Michigan Avenue School sometime between 5:30 p.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. today. Several rooms of the school were entered including the principal’s office where the door is always locked. Missing is an old movie camera and a tape recorder as well as a small amount of cash from one of the vending machines, Smith said. The breakin was discovered by Ralph Beasley when he entered the

school at 6 a.m. today.

Phoenix bursts Bandon’s bubble; Cranberry Bowl skein halted at 16 Southwestern Oregon’s longest unblemished string of victories in any sports event came to an end on Bandon’s Dave Miller Field Saturday afternoon. The Cranberry Bowl football classic, the undisputed stomping ground of the Bandon Tigers for the past 16 straight seasons, ended with a rare victory for the visitors in the 24th annual renewal. The Phoenix Pirates put in their first appearance in the classic and ramped up a stunning 34-6 triumph. It was the first loss for Coach Dick Sutherland in the Cranberry Bowl since his first season in Bandon — 1953 — that Coquille went away with a 13-6 decision. In the 16 games since then, the Tigers had won them all and battled to an awesome 600-to-99 spread in total points. However, Bandon still holds a 21-2-1 record in its hometown bowl.

Health foods boom at Coos Bay store “I’m not a health food nut — I just think there are certain supermarket foods which should be avoided. Mrs. Anne Muller, young housewife and mother of two, made the comment while waiting for her order of stone ground flour and wheat germ in the Coos Bay Health Food Store. Like thousands of others across the country who worry about harmful pesticides in commercial produce and chemical additives in processed foods, Mrs. Muller has turned to health foods to supplement the family menu. What was once a $1 million a year business, health food stores in the U.S. expect to top the $1 billion mark this year. “The last 20 years have seen a tremendous growth in health food sales,” explained Earl Hempstead, owner of the Coos Bay Health Food Store. Hempstead started the store 20 years ago and has had three different locations in Coos Bay. “People are beginning to realize at last,” he said, “that you can’t have health today in this country without vitamin supplements.”

20 YEARS — 2000 Angry residents protest DMV closure COQUILLE — South Coos County residents won a victory of sorts Wednesday morning when two state officials agreed to reevaluate closing the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles office here. “We will reconsider the decision,” DMV Deputy Director Lorna Youngs said, near the end of the 90-minute meeting. “We will take the information we have back and it will be considered.” Youngs and Oregon Transportation Commission member Stuart Foster met with a group of more than 80 frustrated South Coos County residents to discuss the reasoning behind closing the office. The two agencies were also presented with two petitions, one from Powers and the other from Coquille, that had a total of almost 1,400 signatures.

Bulldogs beat Pirates in volleyball Civil War: North Bend beats Marshfield for third time in 2000 Three matches and counting for North Bend. The Bulldogs beat cross-town rival Marshfield Thursday night in North Bend to improve to 3-0 against the Pirates this season, with the first two wins coming in non-league tournaments. North Bend has its defense to thank for Thursday’s win, a 15-12, 15-3 victory that improved the Bulldogs to 6-1 in league play, good for a tie for first place with Springfield and Sheldon. Marshfield dropped to 3-4, a game behind Churchill in the race for fourth place. “We played pretty good defense,” North Bend coach Susi Armstrong said. After Marshfield built up a lead in the first game Thursday, North Bend turned the game around with a combination of great play at the net by Leah Klemenhagen and great serving by Candace Deming. These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.
