Central Oregon's love affair with high school football goes back. Way back.

Cometmay offer clues to planets' formation

A comet that spent the first 4.5 billion years of its existence in the farthest reaches of the solar system will almost graze the furnace of the sun on Thursday. Comet ISON's close approach — and its possible demise, from the sun's heat and gravitational forces — will give scientists an unprecedented look at the ingredients that came together to form the planets. "It's a dinosaur bone of solar system formation," Carey M. Lisse, a senior research scientist at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, said during a NASA news conference Tuesday. If the comet survivesthough many experts like Lisse think it will not — it could provide a bright and striking addition to the night sky in early December asitzooms near Earth on its way back out. The best times for viewing would be right before sunrise or right after sunset. Currently it is not readily visible, because it is too close to the sun. In recent years, astronomers have spotted many sun-grazing comets, but this one is different. Named for the International Scientific Optical Network in Russia, which discovered it in September 2012, it appears to have originated in the Oort Cloud, a sphere of debris about a light-year from the sun. Most of the earlier sun grazers appear to be pieces from a larger comet that looped around the sun many times. See Comet /A4

This photo shows what Crook County historians believe to be the first Bend High (left) and Crook County (right) prep football teams, which played in Prineville on Thanksgiving Dny in1910. Prineville won. But the score wns in dispute, according to the newspapers of the day, including this one. (A sepia tone wns added to this photo.)
On Thanksgiving Day 1910, three years before Henry Ford started rolling out cars on the assembly line, Crook County High School defeated the visitors from Bend High in the first prep football game ever staged in Central Oregon.

count of the game. "It was hotly contested from start to finish. Bend though hopelessly defeated contested stubbornly every inch of ground. They are a gritty gentlemanly bunch and have the material for a winning team." The only contest of the season for both schools — it was an all-Crook County affair at the time, as the creation of Deschutes County was still six years away — Bend High traveled through Powell Butte and into Prineville by horse and carriage.

Dietary limits are changing Turkey Day tables By Candice Choi The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Three different types of stuffing will be offered on Stacy Fox's table this Thanksgiving: traditional, gluten-free and vegan. There will be steak for people who don't like turkey. No
eggs will be used in the latkes, or Jewish potato pancakes. And the sweet potato pie will be topped with vegan marshmallows she buys at a health food store. "My life used to be simple," said Fox, who's entertaining 18 guests in Suffern, N.Y.
