Coos Bay to host survey to find library site

By JULIE AKINS For The World

The tension was palpable in the Coos Bay Council chambers on Tuesday when the elected body considered what to do next, now that the $20 million dollar library bond failed in May. That bond would have been used to build a new library at John Topits Park as well as a 9-1-1 center for police.

They’ve not taken up next steps formally until now.

The new library in the Empire would have been carved out of a roughly two acre portion of the park with special consideration for en tering and exiting the parking area but concerns about detracting from the park’s other uses dogged the bond which failed by 60% voting against it.

The old library located down town is at a stage of disrepair including a leaking roof and rot. Council agreed the library is in need of total replacement. But since the failure of the levy, the city needs to figure out what residents would be in favor of and if it’s a new library, where it should go. They decided to hire a polling firm to assist them in getting a sense of what the public wants in order to decide what’s next.

Councilor Lucinda DiNovo asked if it would make sense to ask if voters would like to keep the library where it is. She pointed out state law has changed allowing building in flood planes and tsunami inun dation zones so long as buildings are built according to standards for those zones.

“Why not just put it where it is now? It may cost more but every one likes where it is now,” said

DiNovo who was countered by Councilor Carmen Matthews with concerns about flood insurance. “Flood insurance isn’t great,” he told the council saying that it wouldn’t make the community whole if it lost the library in a tsunami. “We’d lose our community investment downtown.”

Councilor Stephanie Kilmer in bringing the dialogue back to a poll stated it needed to be done in such a way as to capture authentically the desire of voters. “We want a wide poll equally distributed so we have a large cross section throughout

the community.” She urged making sure Empire and Downtown are equally questioned.

“ I thought Topits was a good idea, but that’s not how the vote turned out. So I think a poll is a good idea,” said Councilor Drew Farmer.

Mayor Joe Benetti agreed, “We all have personal feelings about this. The vote didn’t go how we wanted, so we need to move for ward and get some direction.”

So council gave staff the green light to seek out a polling company which could handle a large sample size.

They also agreed the Library Steering Committee, council and members of the public should be involved in formulating questions for the survey.

The other topic of discussion at Tuesday’s work session was the idea of creating a bike route through town with “sharrows” created on parts of the route to delineate that cars would be sharing the road with bikes by the use of painted signs on the roadway. The streets most likely to use sharrows would be wider streets with slower speeds.

In all there would be 26 sharrows created, ten advanced warning signs to increase biking options and safe ty from Mingus Park through town.

The total cost would be $32,430 dollars. The council didn’t au thorize the entire project but did give staff direction to hire a traffic engineer to put a plan together and bring it back to council. That cost would be roughly three thousand dollars.

The mayor, referring to the pro liferation of bike riding said, “This is part of a cultural change, and it’s important to take this first step.”

Flu-shot clinic honors the memory of Blake Crane

By DAVID RUPKALVIS

For The World

Few people understand the dev astation the flu virus can have more than Becky Crane.

In February 2020, Crane and her husband, Tony, lived a night mare for any parent when their son, Blake, caught the flu. That’s fairly common in the United States, but their lives turned into a night mare when the flu began to attack Blake’s body, eventually leading to his death just days later.

Blake was 16 in February 2020 when he caught the flu. He was a student and an athlete and Marsh field High School, was in strong health and had everything to live for. But the flu took his life, leaving his grieving parents and two sisters to mourn his short life.

While Becky and Tony were grieving and still are, they quickly decided to do something about it.

Working with Coos Bay School District and the Waterfall Clinic, the Cranes decided to turn their nightmare into hope for others.

Since 2020, Waterfall Clinic has traveled to every campus within the Coos Bay School District to offer free flu shots for students and staff, all in memory of Blake Crane.

“I knew Lance (Nelson), so I was able to send him a message, and he instantly said yes,” Becky said Thursday as the Waterfall portable bus sat outside Eastside and Millicoma schools. “We had our first event in 2020. He died in February, and we have our first one in October.”

This year marked the third time the Waterfall bus went to every school in the district to offer free flu shots. At Marshfield High School, 39 people received the shot, 37 took part when the bus went to Sunset and Madison schools and

North Bend votes to support mayor’s homeless proposal

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

The North Bend City Council voted unanimously last week to support an effort to bring state funding to local communities across the state to help deal with the in creased costs from homelessness.

The council voted to support an effort by the Oregon Mayor’s As sociation to ask the Legislature to appropriate $123 million annually to help the cities as all of Oregon struggles with an increase of home less individuals.

The funding would be paid out

on a per-capita basis, meaning the larger cities would get more funding than smaller cities. Under the proposal, even the smallest cities would receive a minimum of $50,000 every year.

In Region 6, which runs from Reed sport to Brookings and includes all of Coos County, the cities would receive:

Bandon - $138,800

Brookings - $272,360

Coos Bay - $640,200 Coquille - $160,720

Gold Beach - $95,000 Lakeside - $76,420

Myrtle Point - $140,040

North Bend - $415,000 Port Orford - $50,000 Powers - $50,000.

North Bend Mayor Jessica En gelke was one of 25 mayors chosen to participate in a task force that came up with the proposal to take to the Legislature. You as a council have done a lot to address homelessness. It isn’t done overnight.

“It has a lot of things they’re ask ing for that can be brought back to the local communities,” North Bend City Administrator David Milliron told the council. “What you have

before you is something that’s going before every city council in the entire state. It’s a letter from the Oregon Mayor’s Association.”

The funding could be used for a variety of efforts including abate ment, cleanup, shelter, environmental cleanup, food bank assistance, com munity resource officers and more.

It could not be used to remove the homeless come communities unless the community has enough shelter beds to house all people who are on the streets. Milliron explained that rule is due to a court ruling that was recently confirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

“With the most recent Sept. 28 court decision, they have taken the Boise case and taken it even further,” Milliron said. “There’s no real guidance in what’s being passed down. It’s important that the residents know that no matter who is sitting on this council after the election, they’re going to have to roll their sleeves up.”

Milliron said the courts have ruled that cities cannot criminalize homeless. The rulings said peo ple must have to sleep, go to the restroom and stay warm.

Eastside School Principal Kara Davidson holds her son Duke’s hand as Duke receives a flu shot during a free clinic for students and staff at Eastside and Millicoma schools.

30 received flu shots at Marsh field Junior High and Destinations Academy.

But as it has been every year, the biggest turnout was when the bus went to Eastside and Millicoma.

Becky has worked as a teacher at Millicoma for 23 years, and when she lost her son, both the teachers and now three groups of students

have taken advantage of the free flu shot clinic.

On Thursday, 16 people had received flu shots within the first hour, and more than 50 had pre-registered to receive a shot by the end of the day. With walk-ins, school nurse Emily Parkhurst, said more than 100 people would likely receive their shot.

Becky said seeing her co-work ers and students receiving the shot meant a lot to her.

“I appreciate how many people

come here and take advantage of it,” Crane said.

Becky said she was going to get her flu shot Thursday, waiting until her students were ready so they could do it together.

Tony Crane received his shot at the first clinic at Marshfield High School, and their two adult daugh ters have also taken their shot for the year.

Becky said having the clinic at every school is important because

it gives students an opportunity to receive a shot without having to go out of their way.

“One of the things I believe is if this had been available when Blake was here, he would have taken advantage of it and it would have saved his life,” Becky said.

In fact, the one year Blake didn’t receive the flu shot is the one year he needed it most. Becky said get ting the shot was the norm in their family as their children grew up.

“Blake always had except for the

one year,” she said. “He had started driving and was playing football in the fall. So, picking him up and taking him back to North Bend Medical Center was just inconve nient. You can imagine how that haunts me.”

While the clinics at the Coos Bay schools have ended for the year, Crane urged parents to get their children flu shots. Shots can be received at any medical practice, Waterfall Clinic and almost any pharmacy in the area.

Prepare well to vote

Prepare by finding credible, truthful sources of information on candi dates as well as issues to be decided on the ballot. Here are some sugges tions you can use to identify sources of information you can trust.

1: Who exactly is providing the information. Are they qualified to speak on the issue based on their education or experience? Does their background suggest a bias from the get go?

2: Where does your source of the information get monetary support? Does that suggest a hidden agenda?

3: Where does your source get THEIR information? Is your source using information from credible, non-biased authors and organizations?

4: Do you notice relevant information that is omitted?

Based on the questions above, do you conclude the source of your information on a candidate or an issue lives up to this credibility test? If not, look further.

Democracy is an experiment based on faith in the people. Faith that our collective knowledge can lead us toward a positive future. Let us live up to the faith our predecessors placed in us.

Your vote might be a small, even desperate act, but it is essential. Pre pare to do it as well as possible.

Very impressed

I was at a local fast food restaurant today we saw an unresponsive young man. 911 had been called. Police showed up tried to get a re sponse. The EMTs showed up and were talking to the young man and explained what they were doing.

They were so kind and respectful I just had to mention this. He was taken to the hospital and I hope he is OK. Very proud to see these profes sionals doing a great job in our community.

Vote for Cribbins

Karen Wilson North Bend

While I am not a resident of Coos County, I have long had the oppor tunity to work with a variety of elected officials from there. Through my experience as a mayor of Reedsport, a port commissioner, a utility director and my long list of work in statewide and regional bodies, I think I know a bit about good governance and effective leadership: I absolutely know that Coos County Commissioner Melissa Cribbins excels at both. She is an accomplished and truly effective leader.

In every area in which I have had the great pleasure of working with Commissioner Cribbins, I have without fail found her to be incredibly bright, always willing to ask the toughest of questions, principled but open-minded, too, always seeking solutions, and ever dedicated to Coos County and her constituents there. In short, Melissa Cribbins is exact ly what we all want our elected officials to be. I highly encourage you to cast your vote for Melissa Cribbins and re-elect her as Coos County commissioner.

It just wouldn’t be Halloween without a scary story, right? Late October is filled with tales of headless horsemen and vanishing hitchhikers.

But here’s a twist: This story actually happened. It scared the dickens out of an entire generation and even led to the founding of a religious movement.

In their first years, the Fox sisters were typical teenagers of their time. Just three girls living in Upstate New York, going to school, doing chores and leading a quiet life.

Until the day in 1848 when 14-year-old Maggie and 11-year-old Kate frantically ran up to a neighbor on the road. They breathlessly re counted a terrifying story of strange occurrences in their house. There was rapping on the walls. Furniture moved around on its own. They got the feeling that beings from another world were trying to communicate with them.

The neighbor wanted to see the phenomenon for herself and returned to the Fox home with the girls.

She was told to count to five. There were five heavy thuds. Then she was told to count to 15; 15 thuds clearly followed. The spirit was asked to identify the neighbor’s age; there were 33 raps, the correct answer. “If you are an injured spirit,” the supernatural visitor was told, “answer with three raps.” And three raps sounded.

The girls’ mother was totally creeped out. She packed up her daughters and hustled them off to live with her sister in Rochester.

However, news of the weird happenings inside the Fox house had gone ahead of the girls. Locals Isaac and Amy Post invited the sisters to their home. Their young daughter had recently died, and they desperately wanted to contact her. The result: another round of rapping and tapping.

The Posts were so convinced the

Local Guest Column

Column HOLY COW! HISTORY: The Séance Sisters and Their Spooky Scam

Fox sisters had found a way to con tact the departed that they rented a hall. Some 400 people came to hear the strange sounds for themselves. Word quickly spread. Promi nent “seer” Andrew Jackson Davis invited the sisters for a demonstra tion at his New York City home. He hopped on the bandwagon of the girls’ fame and used it to create Spiritualism. It preached that by contacting departed loved ones, you could get glimpses into your own eternal destination. And make corrections, if needed, before it was too late. (Think Ebenezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol.”)

The sisters had stumbled upon a lucrative living. Kate and Maggie took the act on the road to Cleve land, St. Louis and Washington. Folks shelled out a then-staggering $1 each to hear about the newly opened door to the “other side.”

Leah held forth in New York City, whose Who’s Who paid big bucks to sit in on her private seances.

But not everyone was convinced. The journal Scientific American dismissed them as “The Spiri tual Knockers from Rochester.” (“Knockers” was slang for “hicks” at the time.)

The Civil War led to Spiritualism’s heyday. With the country awash in nearly 700,000 deaths, grieving fam ilies eagerly wanted to hear from the fallen. Even first lady Mary Lincoln is said to have held seances in the White House, trying to reach her dead sons, Eddie and Willie.

There were plenty of doubters, but nobody ever exposed how the sisters made the mysterious sounds. For a while.

Then personal rivalry prompted their undoing.

Kate developed a drinking prob lem that grew so bad Leah and top spiritualist leaders publicly scold ed her. Maggie was furious at the way Kate was treated; so furious, in fact, she wrote a tell-all expose published in October 1888 in the New York World (which paid her a whopping $1,500 fee).

Who are “we the people”?

By TRACy HODSON

It has caught my attention that the writers of several recent letters to the World News paper have used a certain phrase within those letters, the phrase “we the people.” On September 30th, John Chaplin wrote that Val Hoyle’s “experience does not share the pri orities of we the people.” Leaving aside the grammatical issues with this peculiar usage of the phrase, let’s look at the real problem with this sort of language. Normally, Chaplin would have written something like, “Val’s experience does not reflect my priorities,” but to do that, Chaplin would have to recognize that he can only speak for himself. However, by sticking these words into his letter, he ele vates his personal opinions to a grandiloquent statement purporting to represent not merely himself, but The People, capital T, capital P. First of all, where is this phrase coming from? It is, of course, the first three words of the preamble to the US Constitution, which reads, in full:

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Governor Morris wrote his preamble to set up what follows, which is a document whose ideas, ideals, and laws are meant to apply to all the citizens of the United States. Not some, but all. Yes, it took a long time for that to become a fact, rather than a mere ideal. Women were not included in that first group of “the People,” nor were White men who didn’t own property; it didn’t include Black people at all, nor did it acknowledge the large population of southern slaves. But it is 2022, and that opening sentence is now understood to either include every single citizen of the United States, or no one at all, because if it doesn’t do the former, it is meaningless.

So the question becomes, what do the people who have plucked those three words from the country’s foundational document and inserted them into ordinary statements about themselves, mean when they do so?

Are these statements reflective of their ideas of themselves as necessarily representing all of us every time they speak about their own personal values, opinions, ideals? Are they setting themselves up as the voices of truth–or Truth–come to tell us all what’s what? Or are they subtly doing the opposite, which is to separate themselves from those whose val ues, opinions, and ideals differ from theirs?

Is this another version of “real Americans” vs. whatever they’re calling the rest of us these days? Does John Chaplin genuinely see

himself as The Voice of the People, and do I respond with my own umbrage: “It is Alek Skarlatos’s experience that does not reflect the values of we the people, Mr Chaplin!” so that we can fight over which of us tru ly speaks for “the people”? This would be absurd. Obviously, Skarlatos and Hoyle each represent some of the people, a fairly typical state of affairs in the United States.

We have in our larger community lots of smaller communities. It is natural for people to come together out of shared ideas and interests, and to hope to find more people to join them. It is sometimes natural, too, to feel that the world is an “us against them” sort of place. This is a very polarized time in our country’s history, and one needn’t look any further than our own neighborhoods to see the evidence of that.

Few of us know people outside our increasingly shrinking silos, and therefore few of us get to hear, directly, from someone who disagrees with us. Many politicians take advantage of that, ratcheting up their rhetoric to make the most of that divide. That’s to be expected, but this abuse of the phrase “we the people” is particularly upsetting because of the stark difference between what it is supposed to mean, and what it means when Mr Chaplin writes it in his letter.

Let’s have it again: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more per

Maggie spilled the beans. She admitted that, as girls years before, she and Kate had tied apples to strings and dragged them along floorboards to make the thudding sounds. She told how they advanced to secretly moving their knuckles and toes to create tapping noises.

It was all a hoax.

The bombshell revelation caused a major schism among Spiritualists. Maggie recanted her confession a year later, which only increased the number of people fleeing the movement.

Maggie and Leah hadn’t recon ciled when Leah died in 1890. Kate died during a drinking binge two years later. Maggie followed eight months after that.

As Americans prepared to enter the 20th century, Spiritualism’s glory days were over.

They still talk about things that go bump in the night at this time of year. But be sure to check for apples with strings tied to them, just to be safe.

fect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Consti tution for the United States of America.”

What are the important ideas here? We the People together form a Union to further some really good goals: Justice. Tranquility. The general Welfare. The Blessings of Liberty, and yes, we even must maintain a common defense (sadly still necessary). We the People are everyone. There can’t be “real Ameri cans” and “not real Americans,” because the whole point of this beautiful, messy, ideal istic, flawed, growing, changing, regressing, succeeding, striving, failing, country is that each and every one of us is a real American. There is no other kind of American. Those three words, We the People, cannot be ripped away from the totality of that preliminary summation of our theory of what a country should be, and used to separate one group of Americans from another; to weed out the ones who, in this or that person’s opinion, don’t meet the test of what a real American thinks or believes. Those three words must mean all of us.

Those who write “we the people” when what they really mean is “me and my friends,” betray the spirit and meaning of the document that begins with those words.

Marshfield boys earn spot in XC state meet

The World

Marshfield’s Alex Garcia-Silver won the Sky-Em League cross country title Thursday, but it was Gavin Stovall who was the most important runner for the Pirates as a team.

Stovall, Marshfield’s sixth run ner, crossed the line in 17th place, but was three spots and 10 seconds in front of Marist Catholic’s sixth runner to give the Pirates the tie breaker after the two teams tied for second behind champion Cottage Grove in the team standings — only the top two teams qualified for this Saturday’s Class 4A state meet at Lane Community College, where the district meet also was held.

The state meet includes nine total races, starting with the Class 3A-2A-1A girls at 10 a.m., fol lowed by the Class 2A-1A boys at 10:35, the Class 3A boys at 11:10 a.m., the Class 4A girls at 11:45 and the Class 4A boys at 12:20 p.m.

After a break, the bigger schools run with the Class 5A girls at 1:45, the Class 5A boys at 2:20, the Class 6A girls at 2:55 and the Class 6A boys at 3:30.

Admission for the day is $12 for adult and $6 for students and digital tickets can be purchased through osaa.org or the OSAA Live Mo bile app. People also can purchase tickets with cash on site the day or the meet.

Garcia-Silver was the runaway individual winner at the Sky-Em meet, finishing the 5,000-me ter course in 15 minutes and 11 seconds, 77 seconds faster than runner-up Jade Owens of Cottage Grove.

The Lions scored 38 points in the team race while Marshfield and Marist Catholic both had 43.

Bodey Lutes was sixth for Marshfield (18:03), Corbin Reeves eighth (18:05) Jaxson Stovall 13th (18:24), Elijah Cellura 15th (18:30) and Gavin Stovall 17th (18:43). Marshfield’s seventh runner, Talon Thomas, was 24th (19:44).

North Bend was a distant fourth in the team race with 102 points. Aidin Wilson led the Bulldogs, placing 12th in 18:19. North Bend’s other runners were Gavin Schmidt in 18th (18:46), Brenton McKiddy in 19th (18:52), Benjamin Swank in 26th (19:50), Tiago Schrader in 27th (19:57), Evan Hernandez in 30th (20:17) and Brandon Stinson in 31st (20:19).

North Bend’s girls did qualify two individuals for state — the top seven in each race advanced — with Sara Slade taking fourth (21:31) and Ellie Massey sixth (21:53) behind winner Avery Hedden of Marist Catholic, who finished in 20:21.

Junction City won the team title with 32 points, while Cottage Grove had 54 and North Bend 59.

Marshfield volleyball team advances to tourney

By JohN GUNTher For The World

COOS BAY — Top-ranked Marshfield rolled past La Grande in three quick sets to advance to the Class 4A volleyball tourna ment this weekend at Springfield High School.

The Pirates beat the Tigers 254, 25-15, 25-11 to advance to the tournament, where Marshfield faces Crook County at 8 a.m. in the quarterfinals on Friday. The Cowgirls topped Marist Catholic 25-20, 25-16, 25-22 in another first-round match Saturday.

Marshfield left no doubt against La Grande in its match, dominating the first set to seize momentum.

“We came out fired up, ready

Red Devils, Tigers earn spots in football playoffs

The World

Coquille and Bandon got big wins Friday night to advance to the state football playoffs, while fellow South Coast schools Marshfield, Myrtle Point, Gold Beach and Powers all learned their playoff foes when brackets were released over the weekend.

Among those teams, only Co quille and Bandon needed wins Friday night to ensure playoff berths, and the Red Devils shut out visiting St. Mary’s 21-0 while Bandon held off the com bined North Douglas-Yoncalla team 27-22.

When the postseason starts this week, Marshfield is at Scappoose in Class 4A, Co quille visits Dayton in Class 3A, Bandon is at Regis and Gold Beach hosts Taft in Class 2A, Myrtle Point hosts the combined Sherman-Condon team in the Class 1A eight-player bracket and Powers hosts Eddyville Charter in the Class 1A six-play er bracket.

The Cruisers were supposed to play Eddyville in the regu lar season, but the game was canceled, with Powers earning a forfeit victory as part of a perfect regular season that gave the Cruisers the top seed in the eightteam bracket. They did not have a game last week.

COQUILLE 21, ST. MARY’S 0: The Red Devils won a turnover-fest with the Cru saders as Hayden GeDeros had a huge final home game on Friday.

GeDeros had a 1-yard touch down run in the second quarter, an 11-yard scoring run in the third and a 1-yard TD in the fourth as he finished with 232 yards in all on 32 carries. Levi Hoyle converted all three ex tra-point kicks for Coquille.

The game featured 11 turn overs in all, six forced by Coquille.

“It was wet and sloppy at

times, but some young guys stepped up in huge situations and helped keep our playoff streak going,” Coquille coach David Thomason said.

The Red Devils now have made the playoffs every season since 2011, earning a tie for third place in the Far West League with the Crusaders with Friday’s win.

“The defense stood strong forcing turnovers in critical situations,” Thomason said. “I’m real proud of the way we fought through this game.

“We were not only able to extend our season for at least an other week, but to also send our seniors out the right way with another victory on Spike Leslie Field.”

Coquille finished 6-3 overall while Dayton is 7-2, the losses to top-ranked Kennedy and Santiam Christian. Coquille’s losses were all on the road, to Cascade Chris tian and South Umpqua, the No. 2 and 3 seeds for the playoffs, and Lakeview, which got into the postseason as the one at-large team for Class 3A. Lakeview visits Kennedy this week, while Cascade Christian hosts Ontar io and South Umpqua is home against Yamhill-Carlton. St. Mary’s is at Santiam Christian.

If Coquille wins, which it did in its last playoff trip to Day ton, the Red Devils will face the Yamhill-Carlton vs. South Umpqua winner in the quarter finals.

BANDON 27, NORTH

DOUGLAS-YONCALLA 22:

The Tigers built a 27-6 halftime lead and held on to advance to the playoffs.

“They made a run in the sec ond half and we just did enough to get the win,” assistant coach Jordan Sammons said.

Quarterback Will Panagakis, the center on Bandon’s quar terfinal team a year ago, had a rushing touchdown and a touch

down pass to Stealth Franklin in the win. Conner Devine and Eli Freitag also had rushing touch downs. Panagakis had a conver sion run after one of the scores and Logan Knapp, the team’s lone player from Pacific as part of a cooperative agreement between the schools, kicked an extra point.

Now Bandon visits Regis, the No. 5 seed. The Rams are 8-1, the lone loss coming 50-48 to league champion Colton, which also beat Bandon. Regis scored at least 44 points five times during the season.

Gold Beach, the runner-up in District 3, beat Glide 46-6 on Friday and is the No. 6 seed for the playoffs, hosting a Taft team that finished 7-2 in the regular season and finished in a threeway tie for second with Monroe and Toledo behind unbeaten Lowell. The Panthers had their lone loss to Oakland.

Reedsport, the other Class 2A team from the South Coast, wrapped up a winless season with a 56-16 loss to Oakland on Friday. The Oakers are seeded first for the playoffs and host Clatskanie in the first round.

MAZAMA 44, MARSH FIELD 15: The Pirates couldn’t get the ball into the end zone often enough against the topranked Vikings, falling in their regular-season finale on Friday.

Marshfield is the No. 9 seed for the playoffs after finishing 6-3, 4-2 in league play.

Scappoose finished second behind Tillamook in District 1, with a 4-1 league record and 7-2 record overall (the other loss to Estacada).

If Marshfield beats Scappoose, the Pirates likely are headed back to Klamath Falls for a rematch with Mazama, which hosts Sea side in the first round.

HENLEY 55, NORTH BEND 24: The Bulldogs put up a good fight with the Hornets

for the first half before Henley pulled away.

North Bend led 17-14 before the Hornets scored 41 points in a row to lock up second place in the district.

The Bulldogs finished 4-5 overall and 3-3 in league play while Henley improved to 8-1 and prepares to host Crook County in the first round of the playoffs.

MYRTLE POINT 58, MO HAWK 8: The Bobcats wrapped up second place in the Class 1A District 1 north division with a dominant home win Friday, earning another home game in the first round of the 12-team playoffs this week.

The Bobcats got off to a great start when Jacob Koser intercept ed a pass on the opening posses sion of the game and returned it for a touchdown. Koser also had two receiving touchdowns and Andres Villanueva also had two touchdown catches as Logan Backman passed for 148 yards and four scores.

Evin Warner led the team in rushing with 48 yards and scored a touchdown while Troy Warner rushed for two scores. Tight end Howard Blanton, who celebrated senior night with Warner, Villan ueva, Koser and Jason Bates, had 45 yards receiving.

Myrtle Point is 5-3 overall, but enters the playoffs as the No. 6 seed.

The Bobcats host the com bined Sherman-Condon team that finished 4-2 in the District 2 west division and 6-2 overall. The losses came to Dufur and unbeaten Powder Valley. Myrtle Point’s losses are to top-ranked St. Paul, No. 3 Lost River and No. 4 Crane, which all have first-round byes along with No. 2 Powder Valley.

If the Bobcats win, they will travel to Crane with a chance to avenge their earlier 44-42 loss to the Mustangs.

Increased emergency SNAP benefits continue in November

Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nu trition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will receive emergency allotments in November.

The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. These emergency benefits are a temporary support that Ore gon can provide because of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency.

Because the federal government approved these emergency benefits for No vember, Oregon will also be able to issue them in Decem

ber. However, the emergency benefits are expected to end when the federal public health emergency ends.

In November, approx imately 430,000 SNAP households will receive approximately $69 million in extra food benefits in ad dition to their regular SNAP benefits.

“We know that many rely on these additional emer gency food benefits to get enough healthy food for themselves and their fami lies,” said Jana McLellan, interim director of the Ore gon Department of Human Services (ODHS), Self-Suf ficiency Programs. “We also know that many Oregonians are still struggling to meet

their basic needs and we en courage them to contact our partners at 211, the Oregon Food Bank and their local Community Action Agency for support during this diffi cult time.”

Current SNAP house holds will receive emergen cy allotments on Nov. 11. Emergency allotments will be issued Nov. 30 or Dec. 2 for households who did not receive benefits in the first monthly issuance.

SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemen tal benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards.

More information about emergency allotments is available at https://www.ore

gon.gov/dhs/ASSISTANCE/ FOOD-BENEFITS/Pages/ Emergency-Allotments.aspx.

Questions about your SNAP benefits should be directed to the ONE Custom er Service Center at 1-800699-9075.

If your household receives SNAP and your income or the number of people in your household has changed, it could impact your benefits. It is important to make sure ODHS has the most up-todate information.

You can report any chang es to your income or house hold in many ways: Online at: ONE.Oregon.gov

to go,” Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel said, adding that La Grande struggled to get any offense early.

“They gave us a lot of free balls that first set, and we took advantage of it,” Montiel said.

Marshfield showed off its wealth of power through out. Bridget Gould had 11 kills, Tatum Montiel nine, Kate Miles eight and Paige MacDuff six. Setter Ava Ainsworth had five kills to go with 33 assists.

“It’s a nice advantage to have,” Tammie Montiel said of Marshfield’s depth in the middle and outside. “It’s real ly nice when they are all on.”

Marshfield also got three aces from Ainsworth and two from MacDuff. When La Grande did put up an attack, Gracie Peach had 20 digs and MacDuff 10.

The Pirates enter the state tournament 20-3 overall without having lost to a Class 4A team, and also having held the top ranking most of the season. Tammie Montiel does not expect her team to feel much pressure, though.

“I think these guys are just excited to be in the tourna ment,” she said. “From the start of the season, we’ve had the No. 1 target on their back. These girls thrive under pressure.”

In the quarterfinals, they face a program with a long history of tournament suc cess.

The Cowgirls shared the title in the Tri-Valley Con ference with The Dalles at 9-1 (both programs dropped down from Class 5A this fall) and are 18-10 overall, most of the losses coming to Class 5A and 6A schools.

The top eight seeds in the Class 4A bracket all won in straight sets at home Satur day to advance to Spring field.

Also in the state tour nament are Baker, which knocked Marshfield out last fall and beat Philomath 2515, 25-11, 25-12 on Satur day; Tillamook, which swept Hidden Valley 25-21, 26-24, 25-11; The Dalles, which beat Scappoose 25-12, 25-14, 25-15; Mazama, which elim inated North Bend 25-14, 25-12, 25-14; Henley, which swept Sweet Home 25-20, 25-14, 25-9; and Cascade, which beat Pendleton 25-13, 25-9, 25-12.

Miles, one of Marshfield’s two seniors along with Devin Plummer, is excited for the Pirates to get their shot at state.

“I think we’re ready to go and play good competition,” she said. “We’re going to have to play our best. I don’t think there’s a team there we can’t beat.

Marshfield’s only loss since early in the season came against Class 5A Cra ter. The other losses came to Class 6A Roseburg and Class 3A Sisters, and all three teams that beat the Pirates are in their respective state tournaments.

“We’ve just gotten better all year,” Miles said, adding the team quickly adapted

to the addition of Gould, a transfer from North Bend where she was the Midwest ern League player of the year as a sophomore last year.

“Our team has been a whole different environ ment,” Miles said. “There’s been no drama. We’ve meshed together with our new player, Bridget.

“We’ve just played well.”

If Marshfield can do that three straight times in Springfield, the Pirates could bring home a state title.

Admission for each twogame session at the state tournament is $10 for adults and $6 for students. Tickets can be purchased in advance at osaa.org or the OSAA Live Mobile App and also will be available on site for cash sales.
