Killingsworth St., took second place in the AAA bracket of a tournament played in Coos Bay. The team of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders faced tough competition in the October tourney and won four matches to get into the finals, said coach Don Seleski. However, the Siuslaw Middle School team proved consistent and the Tigers lost in two sets. “Despite that loss,” said the coach, “the Lady Tigers played some great volleyball and were great representatives of Trinity Lutheran School and Northeast Portland.” Portland native heads Midwest medical unit Dr. Frances Prekker, a Portland native and Grant High School graduate, has been named medical director of the inpatient pediatric unit at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

Residents can sweep up leaves as they fall and place them in yard debris roll carts for collection and composting, said Diane Dulken, a bureau spokeswoman. The Transportation Bureau offers a leaf pickup service in 30 designated districts in neighborhoods with high concentrations of street trees. These districts need a higher level of service than regular street cleaning can provide. Some districts have pickup on one day for a $15 fee and others have two days for a $30 fee. The bureau composts all leaves picked up in the collection program at its Sunderland Recycling Facility. Last year, The Street Seat ‘A Dialogue’ by a team from Scott|Edwards Architecture including Ali Karlen, Ryan Yoshida, Jesse Graden, Brian Morris, James Lee, Sarah Cantine, Joe Broder, Andrew Stohner, and Chris Olenyik is sited in front of Vita Café, 3023 N.E.
