NEWS STUDENTS LOBBY FOR INCREASED FUNDING IN STATE CAPITOL

BY ZACK DEMARS • TWITTER @ZACK_DEMARS

A group of students stands outside the Oregon State Capitol building with signs asking legislators to “quit pricing students out.” (Zack Demars)

SALEM — Hunter Rowe sat in the senator’s chair for the duration of his 15-minute meeting in the state capitol. About halfway through, when state senator Lew Frederick (D-Portland) walked into his own office, Rowe stood to give him his chair, but both Frederick and Kevin Modica, the legislative aide who’d been leading the meeting until then, urged him to keep his seat.

As Frederick found another seat, the conversation continued. Rowe, a freshman political science and math major at the University of Oregon, eventually made an ask: at funding for higher education would be a high priority in the state’s budget if revenue projections turn out well.

“We don’t have the money here,”

Frederick told Rowe and another UO student, an alumnus and two staff members sitting in the meeting.

“We need to have you get out there and talk with people. We need a new system.” e small group was part of a much larger event: UO Day at the Capitol, which brought 80 UO students, staff and alumni to the State Capitol in Salem to meet with legislators and lobby for increased funding for higher education. e main ask is a $186 million increase for the Public University Support Fund, which funds all of the state’s public universities. e “bare minimum” increase UO is asking for, said Hans Bernard, assistant vice president for state affairs, is $120 million to that fund, which should

keep in-state tuition increases below 5 percent. e impact of state funding on student tuition was a prime focus of the day’s 36 meetings with legislators. Just the day before, the Tuition and Fee Advisory Board finalized a recommendation for resident tuition, including an option for an 11.06 percent increase to resident tuition in case the PUSF only receives $70 million in funding.

TFAB offered a range of possible recommendations, depending on state support for the PUSF. Rowe and the other advocates at the capitol began the day with an orientation, where UO lobbyists shared tips for telling personal stories to legislators and asking them to commit to supporting the increased funding. e morning also included a brief visit from Governor Kate Brown, who welcomed the group to the capitol and encouraged them to continue advocating.

“We want to make sure we are keeping tuition affordable, and that Oregon kids can go to Oregon universities,” Brown told the group before taking questions about public employee retirement funds and the status of efforts to pass the Student Success Act in spite of walkouts by Republican senators. e other student in Senator Fredick’s office on Wednesday morning — who goes by Michelle and asked that her last name not be used for safety reasons — told the senator why she found it so important to be lobbying in Salem.

As a 16-year-old, Michelle, now a junior accounting major, moved out of her home and lived on her own. She was worried about what would happen after she left the support of K-12 schools but was fortunate enough to receive a merit scholarship to cover most of her tuition.

Still, as tuition increased during her time at UO, Michelle had to pick up two jobs on campus to cover her expenses.

She knew she was fortunate to receive her scholarship, as well as to be able to skip a day of work and school to lobby legislators in Salem.

Michelle said she felt that she had to be in Salem to advocate for other students she knew couldn’t afford to take the day to tell their stories.

Senator Frederick’s response to Michelle and Rowe’s group of advocates was not uncommon: If the state is going to prioritize funding higher education, funding for something else is going to lose priority. He asked the group what they thought should be deprioritized — and no one had the answer.

In an interview after the meeting, Michelle said that the senator’s response that someone needs to come up with a better plan for funding higher education was frustrating. e only person who can solve the problem, she said, will likely need a college degree to solve it.

“If the solution is going to come out of anyone, it’s going to be us, in college.”

UOPD: NO CAMPUS SHOOTING THREAT Eugene Police set up one of three trailers fitted with multiple security cameras to deter crime in Kesey Square. (Maddie Knight)

KESEY SQUARE SEES DROP IN CRIME

WITH EPD SECURITY CAMERAS

BY DONNY MORRISON Police and shop owners agree that Kesey Square, which sits in the heart of downtown Eugene, has seen a drop in crime since the arrival of a mobile security trailer last October.

Blending in with the food carts at Kesey Square, Eugene Police set up one of three Guardian Trailers, all of which are fitted with multiple security cameras that can be accessed from an officer’s computer or smartphone.

According to an EPD press release, the trailermounted security cams intend to deter crime “in areas where there have been complaints or issues, as well as locations determined through data collection.”

Police lieutenant Doug Mozan said that the cameras aren’t meant for live monitoring, but can be used by police to view footage of a crime after it’s happened.

“We’ve looked at serious crimes such as sexual assaults,” Mozan said. “Even for the latest homicide investigation, we’ll be looking at surveillance footage to see if there’s any relevance to the crime.”

However, Mozan also says that the presence of the cameras isn’t meant to help retroactively, but to stop crimes before they happen.

“People don’t know when we’re looking and when we’re not,” Mozan said. “So a lot of folks aren’t willing to engage in sketchy or anti-social behavior when they figure the camera is watching them. We’ve seen behavior change in those spaces, and I would consider that a success.”

As one of the four food carts that sit at Kesey Square permanently, Morelos Taqueria is no stranger to vandalism.

“Someone broke one of our windows last summer,” said co-owner Karina Sevilla. “People were stealing things and trying to break in. ere were people sleeping under and behind the carts, which isn’t safe for anyone.”

Sevilla admits that she didn’t immediately love the idea of having 24-hour surveillance, but after the third or fourth instance of theft involving one of the neighboring food carts, she began to reconsider.

“If you’re just here to pass time, you might wonder why we need cameras,” Sevilla said. “But until you’re here all the time, you don’t understand what we have to go through.”

According to EPD records, crime in the downtown area, including Kesey Square, has steadily increased since 2013. Between 2017 and 2018, there was a 2 percent increase in property crime. “ e cameras have been good for the businesses around here,” Sevilla said. “It’s much cleaner. People aren’t sleeping behind the food carts anymore.” e mobility of the security trailers allows EPD to move the cameras to different locations based on need. e trailer that spends most of its time at Kesey Square has also been moved over two streets to monitor the park blocks next to the courthouse. Other locations that have seen the security trailers include 8th Avenue and Oak Street and Broadway and Olive Street.

Total cost for all three Guardian Trailers was $152,000, paid for by funding from the City of Eugene. According to Mozan, a fourth trailer is being made for the city’s parks department.

University of Oregon Police say there is no threat to the UO campus despite pictures circulated by users on social media over the weekend of a male with captions warning that he was allegedly planning a shooting Monday, according to UOPD spokesman Kelly McIver.

Following reports of the posts, the University of Oregon Police Department contacted the subject of the posts and determined that he does not pose a threat.

“University of Oregon police are aware of recent social media posts by a member of the UO community that have caused concern,” McIver wrote in an email on Saturday. “Police have contacted the man; he is voluntarily cooperating with police and campus and local partners. Police do not consider him a threat currently and are doing everything legally possible to address the situation. Privacy laws prevent police from sharing more information.”

McIver wrote that UOPD’s knowledge of the threats were not based on false reports, or falsified stories. McIver confirmed that the report was legitimate but the person who was reported did not pose a threat.

McIver recommended that members of the community should share any knowledge they have about self-harm or harm done to other community members by contacting law enforcement or calling 9-1-1. UOPD can be reached at 541-346-2919 and the Eugene Police Department can be reached at 541-682-5111. e Emerald will continue to report on this story as more information becomes available.

DISCIPLES OF DIRT CLUB

MAKES TRAILWORK AND MOUNTAIN BIKING A BLAST

BY JADE STEWART

When the “Snowpocalypse” smothered Eugene with a thick blanket of snow in late February, roughly 20,000 trees fell on trails in the area, according to a DOD estimate. ree months later, many of these trails are still impassable for the hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers who normally use them.

But, if you went out to some of these places any weekend since the storm, you would find an eclectic group of volunteers diligently sawing trees, shoveling dirt and removing brush to clear the trails.

Volunteers for Disciples of Dirt Mountain Bike Club, among other groups, have been working hard to make their beloved trails usable again.

DOD is a Eugene-based nonprofit devoted to promoting mountain biking and trail stewardship.

Its members love riding, hanging out with fellow mountain bikers and taking care of trails. ere are several hundred miles of trails still blocked by fallen timber in the area, according to DOD President Lee Wilkinson, but the enormity of the project doesn’t seem to phase the club’s volunteers.

DOD Rides and Events Coordinator Char Baker said up to 50 people often come out to work on the trails in a single session. e volunteers, who come

from diverse backgrounds, are all motivated to help DOD because of their shared love of mountain biking and nature.

People who mountain bike wind up deeply appreciating the landscapes they ride through. is makes them work to keep trails beautiful and accessible, Baker said. Both she and Wilkinson find strong satisfaction from opening up trails. ey encourage other people to share their love of the sport through DOD’s events. e Happy Ride is an all-levels ride. DOD chooses a different area to explore every time.

People who have never mountain biked before often rent bikes and come to these events. e Take a Kid Mountain Biking days are designed to get more young riders involved in the sport four times a year. At the ride closest to Christmas, a couple of DOD members dress up as Santa Clause as they hurtle through the woods on their bikes.

Wilkinson and Baker both dedicate countless hours to promoting mountain biking because they believe it helps people and the world.

“Encouraging people to be able to ride — and ride safely — gets people motivated to take care of themselves,” said Baker. “I see mountain biking as a really healthy way to get out in nature.”

She regularly takes her own kids riding because she believes this will make them revere nature the same way she does.

Baker and her husband moved to Eugene from California in 2017 for better mountain biking opportunities, such as in urston Hills, this area’s first urban mountain bike-specific trail.

“Something I love about Eugene is that it has more climate infrastructure than other cities I’ve been in,” she said. With mountain bike trails so close to town, it’s easy to bike from home straight to a trail, which makes it possible to spend a whole day riding without polluting by driving a car.

But besides being healthy and environmentally friendly, Wilkinson and Baker believe that mountain biking brings people together.

DOD’s members include people of all ages in all professions that all love riding together and hanging out at the club’s monthly social meetings.

“It’s just a nice community,” said Wilkinson.

Looking forward, the club wants to keep promoting the positive aspects of mountain biking, especially by creating more urban trails like urston Hills.

If you’d like to get involved, simply show up one of DOD’s rides, trail work parties or social events.

Everybody’s welcome.

PROPOSED TITLE IX GUIDELINES: WHAT MIGHT CHANGE, AND WHAT THIS MIGHT MEAN

BY RENATA GERALDO

P

roposed Title IX changes introduced by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in November of last year stirred controversy and pitted advocates for victims of sexual misconduct and accused students against each other — and left universities in the middle. e proposal is still open for public comments, but before it goes through Congress, all the submitted comments must be considered. It is unclear when this will happen. Victim advocates fear that the changes could discourage victims from coming forward, whereas accused students’ advocates say that the proposal puts the two parties on equal ground, allowing for a reliable, uniform process.

A courtroom or a classroom?

Introduced in 1972 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in educational environments, Title IX later developed to include sexual violence and misconduct as an act of sex-based discrimination. e most recent proposal in 2018 reverses most of the Department of Education guidelines written during the Obama administration and brings administrative and criminal processes closer than ever.

Title IX establishes how schools have to address cases of sexual assault or harassment in an educational setting and establishes an administrative process that, according to University of Oregon Title IX Coordinator Darci Heroy, might take from six to nine months for a case to be investigated and concluded.

By default, Title IX cases are

M O N D AY, M AY 1 3 , 2 0 1 9

administrative, which means that the accused and the accuser don’t go through trials, have attorneys or need a grand jury. But according to the proposed revisions, that may all change. e proposal establishes that if one of the parties involved wants to challenge the evidence because they say there might have been a mistake or bias during the investigation, they can demand a cross-examination, meaning that one of the parties can demand that the evidence is reexamined to make sure it is accurate.

Live hearings are another type of criminal standard that might be applied on the school’s Title IX administrative process. It is a setting similar to a courtroom — two people, sitting apart from each other, telling their side of the story with another person appointed by the university as a mediator.

If the proposal becomes law, and cross-examination and live hearings become part of the administrative process, the accusers might develop a more critical emotional trauma, according to victim advocates such as Katherine McGerald, executive director of SurvJustice, an organization that offers legal assistance for victims of sexual assault. She says that this might ultimately discourage future reports of sexual misconduct. “[ e proposed guidelines] will make campuses less safe. It diminishes and retraumatizes what happens to victims,” she said. “People aren’t going to know what to do, and I don’t want to go back to the days when cases of sexual assault were swept under the rug.”

On the other hand, the proposed rules are steps in the right direction to a more egalitarian process that yields more accurate results, says Cynthia Garrett, co-president of Families Advocating for Campus Equality, an organization that supports students falsely accused of sexual misconduct.

She said that the current rules have a gender bias and favor accusers, leaving accused students in a disadvantage that could also lead to emotional distress. “ ey’re afraid, basically,” she said. “If you’re public about this and you’ve been accused of such a thing, you have difficulty getting jobs, you have difficulty getting into another school, people shun you — in fact, people communicate a lot of disgust toward you.”

The Title IX timeframe Heroy also said that the proposed process will take more time to be completed, especially by introducing procedures that are “quasi-trial.” e flaw with having a crossexamination, Heroy said, is that if someone does not want to follow this process, they don’t have to. Because it is an administrative process, UO has limited power. ey are not allowed to subpoena someone like in a trial or force a party to consent to crossexamination.

“If someone was not willing to cross-examine, we couldn’t test the information and that way we couldn’t consider that information at all in the process,” Heroy said. “It would have to be entirely excluded.” e school also cannot require a student to be interviewed,

and the worst-case scenario for accused students is expulsion with a permanent mark on their academic transcripts.

Although it might take more time, the decisions can also be more reliable for the parties involved in the process, according to advocates for the accused student’s rights such as Garrett. She said that cross-examination can lead to an equal process with no margins of error for students who have been falsely accused.

On the other hand, McGerald said that cross-examination might be used by the accused student’s party as a tool to “harass, intimidate and confuse” victims.

If the victims are willing to go through with a criminal process, UO can send a request to the University of Oregon Police Department. So far in the 2018-19 academic year, UOPD has received 21 sexual misconduct cases, most of them reported in late 2018, according to the UOPD crime log.

Emotional and monetary costs of the changes All of this comes with a cost, and Heroy said that the Department of Education doesn’t understand the financial impacts of the changes. “[ e Department of Education] wildly underestimated costs,” Heroy said.

One of the proposed rules is to eliminate the single investigator model, which is a person appointed

by UO to gather evidence on a case of sexual misconduct and ultimately make the decision of whether there was enough data to suggest there

was sexual misconduct. By ruling this model out, universities will have increased costs, according to an open letter by Title IX coordinators across Oregon. e proposal requires that instead of one investigator per case, at least two investigators are responsible for gathering evidence. is will have a financial impact on the university and possibly the students. UO currently has three investigators and is employing a fourth. Investigators are paid between $77,000 and $80,000 annually by the General Fund, which includes tuition money.

Although the university said that the extra investigators will increase costs, both McGerald and Garrett agree that this is beneficial for accuser and accused alike because it allows for a more objective investigation.

“Single investigator [cases] can be extremely problematic for either the accused or the accuser,” McGerald said, “because what if you have an investigator with gender bias against women or a gender bias towards men?”

Contrary to McGerald, UO’s Heroy said that, in addition to being cheaper, the current model is also more efficient. She says that UO’s investigative team, comprised of three investigators and one manager of investigations, deliberate on evidence among themselves before making a decision.

If the proposal becomes law, Heroy said that UO will need to emphasize prevention education efforts in order to avoid a lengthier and costlier process that could hamper victims’ willingness to come forward with allegations.

According to McGerald, the emotional toll on victims for having to face their perpetrators during the new process, which might lead to fewer reports, will ultimately make campuses less safe.

“People who commit acts of sexual assault aren’t going to be held responsible, so campuses are less

safe,” said McGerald.

Even though the proposal can become costly for UO, the changes will not significantly affect the community, said Heroy. She says she hopes students and community members “don’t get too freaked out about the proposed changes,” and that Oregon’s laws, which are stricter than the national guidelines, will fill possible gaps.

What falls into Title IX? Garrett, who is an advocate for the rights of accused students, supports almost all the proposed changes. McGerald is on the other side being an advocate for victims and is generally opposed to the proposal. But both agree that the proposed definitions of sexual harassment are limiting. e current Department of Education’s 2014 guideline states that “sexual violence means physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent.” e proposed rules, on the other hand, define sexual harassment as “consistent with U.S. Supreme Court precedent, unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school’s education program or activity.”

If a case of sexual misconduct doesn’t fit into these parameters, the charges will be dropped and there won’t be an administrative process. is limited range of possibilities to hold perpetrators accountable might discourage victims from reporting cases of sexual misconduct, according to a public comment by SurvJustice.

School liability Currently, schools that receive federal funds and

are therefore under Title IX can be held responsible for not addressing a case of sexual misconduct even when there is no formal complaint submitted by the accuser. But the proposed changes establish that schools will only be held accountable for not addressing Title IX when there is “deliberate indifference,” meaning that when the Title IX Coordinator submits an official report of sexual misconduct filed by the victim and the school decides not to act on it, the school can be held responsible.

According to SurvJustice’s public comment, this is yet another bad idea. “ e department has long required schools to address student-on-student sexual harassment if almost any school employee either knew about it or should reasonably have known about it,” the document read.

In 2014, UO went through scrutiny when basketball player Kavell Bigby-Williams was accepted into Oregon’s program while under investigation for sexual assault at Gillette University. An investigation carried by the Emerald showed that though UO had knowledge of the formal complaint and investigation underway in Wyoming, the school nonetheless delayed the due process.

Bigby-Williams’ case was important for UO’s handling of sexual assault cases, Heroy said. But it is unclear what may again change for students who are either victims or accused of sexual misconduct if Secretary of Education DeVos’ proposal becomes law.

“We have more state protections here because of the state laws. I think, unfortunately, some other states will have more uncertainty because they don’t have those same protections,” said Heroy, “but our intent is to keep moving forward with supporting students.”

“I hope students and community members don’t get too freaked out about the proposed changes,” said Heroy.

If someone was not willing to cross-examine, we couldn’t test the information and that way we couldn’t consider that information at all in the process, it would have to be entirely excluded.”

FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR

PICNICKING

From here on out, the weather should stay pretty nice. With the rivers a little high and a little fast to safely enjoy, bring yourself and some friends over to Fern Ridge Reservoir.

Fern Ridge is about 20 minutes from campus and is a great spot to hang out when the sun is beating down. Bring a few chairs, some food and maybe something to drink; park yourself at the Richardson Park Campground.

Depending on the day, you’ll be joined by a sizable crowd of locals, but there’s nothing like a good dip into a lake on a hot day. And, if you play your cards right, you might be able to hop aboard someone’s boat and spend the day tubing and wakeboarding.

It’s not going to be as hot this week as it was the previous few days, but the rest of spring term is still going to have plenty of sun. Take advantage of this good weather and do some eating outdoors. Washburne Park has an expansive lawn and shaded areas under massive conifer trees that are great for picnicking. At Hendrix Park, rhododendrons are in full bloom right now, as well as many other ornamentals. You can eat and drink completely surrounded by flowers in the many grassy nooks in the park. And, if you don’t have much time, you can always just lay out a blanket on a lawn on campus. ere are plenty of great spots around the University of Oregon.

Happy picnicking!

OPINION

Hundreds of current and retired NFL football players struggle with opioid addiction brought on during times of injury and psychological pain. (Courtesy of Wade Austin Ellis/Unsplash)

HOW OPIOIDS ARE DESTROYING THE LIVES OF NFL PLAYERS

BY EMMA SPAETH Hundreds of professional football players and retired players struggle with opioid addiction. Putting up with pain is just a part of the sport, and in such a competitive environment, athletes get hooked in order to stay on the field.

Football players are no strangers to injuries and, as a result, many turn to opioids. In the past, athletes might have depended heavily on over-the-counter medication, but nowadays, with better access to strong medications, they are turning to drugs like OxyContin and Vicodin, which flow at an alarming rate in NFL locker rooms. Some football players have also turned to painkillers to numb psychological pain when experiencing anxiety or depression.

Former quarterback Ryan Leaf, now an advocate for a soberliving company, began using Vicodin after a shoulder injury and

PA G E 1 2

M O N D AY, M AY 1 3 , 2 0 1 9

quickly developed a dependence on painkillers. Leaf was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy after his junior year at Washington State University, but after being selected as the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, the NFL Top 10 ranked him as the No. 1 “draft bust” in NFL history. His abuse of painkillers contributed to his failure and continued even after his premature retirement from the NFL and eventually became his way of coping with the emotional hurt of a short career.

Leaf’s career was greatly impacted by his drug abuse, and he is not the only athlete who has struggled with substance abuse.

Painkillers in NFL locker rooms are not hard to come by. In 2011, a survey commissioned by ESPN examined opioid use in the NFL. According to this survey, 52 percent of former players used prescription

opioids during their NFL careers and among these players, 71 percent reported misusing opioids while playing in the league. In 2015 more than 1,600 former players filed a lawsuit against the NFL, claiming that opioids were recklessly supplied to players by athletic trainers and doctors to keep them on the field.

In an interview with ESPN about the challenges of dealing with injuries while playing in the NFL, Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions said that physicians were passing out painkillers “like candy” in locker rooms. “ ey’re trying to do whatever they can to get you back on the field and make your team look good.” Painkillers are heavily dispensed in NFL locker rooms, and it has led to generations of retired athletes coping with addiction.

Athletes are pressured to take pain killers so they can continue to

play, and the staff are pressured to provide them in order to keep up with the competition. NFL teams need to prioritize the health of their players in the long run. Athletes destroy their bodies for relatively short careers in professional sports and suffer the consequences for the remainder of their lives. In order to destigmatize addiction, there needs to be a discussion about opioid abuse and player safety in the NFL. Athletes deserve to be treated like their futures and lives off the field are just as important as their physical performance. While the plaintiffs in the 2015 lawsuit against the NFL are seeking compensation, something needs to be done about current athletes and the NFL as an institution. ere needs to be a more thorough regulation of painkillers and better transparency about what medication is being issued and why.

DON’T FEAR THE FOOD LABELS

BY JOANNA MANN • TWITTER @JOANNAMANNDANCE

I’m starting to think that we’re overthinking this whole grocery shopping thing.

How many people take way too long in the milk aisle, digging around the skim and 2 percent cartons for the latest expiration date on the shelf?

I’m no expert, but I think that risking a sip past an expiration date is far from the immediate death sentence we think it’s going to be.

“Best if used by” have become four of the most powerful words in today’s society. Our fridges and pantries are routinely cleaned out based on of this mantra, and it’s time the world found out — it’s usually okay to eat foods past their expiration date.

Confusion about food labels leads to unnecessary food waste in nearly every American household. About 40 percent of all food is wasted in the U.S., and the environment is taking the biggest hit because of it.

Rotting food in landfills is the third-largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions in the U.S., according to a nutrition professor at ASU. When we throw out food, we don’t tend to think about its journey past the trash can. But if we keep those snacks a couple of days past their “best by” dates and finish eating them, we could impact

climate change in a positive and easy way.

Another hidden consequence of food waste is the effect it has on your wallet. Constantly throwing food away means having to buy it more and more frequently. is is especially true for fruits and vegetables, which people tend to throw out quicker than other foods.

Tossing a browned banana or a mealy apple may not seem like a hit to your bank account in the moment, but up to $1,500 is lost per household per year on wasted food. Maybe reconsider the next time you decide to ditch the bag of lettuce that looks fine, but has been “sitting for a while.”

To break it down, here’s the truth about food labels.

“Best if used by” strictly refers to the quality of food, not the safety of it. Eating food past its “best if used by” date is in no way harmful to your body — it just might be a little past its peak flavor or texture.

“Sell by” is basically a guideline for the grocery store for when to stop displaying a product. It’s best to buy the product before that date passes, but you can still eat it past that date at home.

“Guaranteed fresh until” or “enjoy by” is similar to “best if used by.” e peak quality may have

passed, but it’s edible for a while longer and will taste nearly the same as before.

“Use by” is the last date recommended by the manufacturer of the product to eat at peak quality. A common misconception about food labels is that they are federally regulated, but the expiration dates on them are really just an estimate put out by that product’s company.

However, do not take away from this that food never expires. It definitely does, and foodborne illnesses should be taken seriously.

Prepared foods, deli meats and soft cheeses are at the highest risk of contamination with listeria when refrigerated for long periods of time. But people tend to keep these kinds of foods longer than raw chicken for example, which is cooked before consumed and therefore at less of a risk for contamination.

Because food is such an essential aspect of our lives, education about food safety and misleading labels is extremely important. “Waste not, want not” is a cliche, but wise words to live by. Instead of doing away with shelves full of food the day their expiration date arrives, trust that your body can handle it and that food is meant to last longer than you might expect.

Confusion about food labels leads to unnecessary waste in nearly every American household.

Oregon Pitcher Ryne Nelson held off an Oregon State comeback in the final innings to avoid a Civil War series sweep with a 3-2 win at PK Park on Sunday. (Ben Green)

OREGON BASEBALL AVOIDS CIVIL WAR SWEEP WITH 3-2 WIN

BY MICHAEL ABBOTT • TWITTER @MICHAEI_ABBOTT Oregon baseball (25-24, Pac-12 9-15) scored all three of its runs early on, and pitcher Ryne Nelson held off an Oregon State (33-15-1, Pac12 19-5) comeback in the final innings to avoid a Civil War series sweep with a 3-2 win on Sunday at PK Park.

Oregon closer Ryne Nelson entered in the bottom of the third inning with two outs and strung together a few impressive innings. In the top of the fifth, Nelson sent down the Beavers in order, all via strikeouts, including Adley Rutschman, who coming into Sunday’s game was hitting .435 and is projected to be the top pick in the 2019 MLB Draft.

“He’s a great hitter,” Nelson said. “I just had to make my pitches and trust my stuff.”

Nelson had to work out of the stretch in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings during which multiple Beavers reached base. But it was in the eighth inning that Nelson would run into his biggest obstacle of the day.

He gave up a leadoff home run in the eighth to Alex McGarry to bring the game within one run. After a hit and two walks loaded the

bases, Rutschman came to the plate. Nelson kept his composure and struck him out to end the threat.

“He’s got some of the best stuff in the country,” Oregon’s Spencer Steer said.

“When we have a lead and we have Nelly on the mound, we have nothing but confidence in him.”

Nelson came back out for the ninth. With the tying run at third and go-ahead run at second, he recorded his 12th strikeout of the game on his 120th pitch. “ at last inning, I really just wanted to seal the deal for the boys, get them that W that we deserve” said Nelson.

While Oregon State left it late to try and mount a comeback, Oregon’s bats came to life early. During the past two games it has been the Beavers who have jumped out to leads in the first inning, but on Sunday it was the Ducks.

In the bottom of the first, Tanner Smith walked before hot-hitting Steer came to the plate. Steer, who went 7-for-11 in the series, roped a double into left-center field, and Smith

raced all the way around from first to score.

“Keep it simple, not try to do too much, try not to put too much pressure on myself in RBI spots,” Steer said. “Stick with my approach, when stuffs working just sticking with it.”

With Steer standing on second, Jonny DeLuca then hit a single past the dive of Beavers shortstop Beau Phillip, scoring Steer and giving the Ducks a 2-0 lead heading to the second inning. e Ducks would add to their lead in the second. Tanner Smith, who got on courtesy of his second single of the day, advanced all the way from first to third on a wild pitch.

After OSU pitcher Christian Chamberlain walked Steer, Jonny DeLuca scored Smith on a line drive that evaded the leap of Beavers second baseman Jake Dukart, giving the Ducks a 3-0 lead. ose three runs would be all the Ducks needed as they held on to win 3-2. e Ducks play Gonzaga on Tuesday in Eugene before a three-game series at USC on the weekend.
