Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878 MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2012 theworldlink.com I 75¢ Big swim meet Students learn through mock earthquake drill

BY TYLER RICHARDSON The World

COOS BAY — A major earthquake left a chaotic, gruesome and deadly mess in its wake Saturday in Coos Bay. Homes were lost. Roads were damaged. Civilians were trapped. This was the scene 16 students encountered as they tested their knowledge in a mock disaster scenario as part of their Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. The mock earthquake, which was the students’ final test in a nine-week course, was staged at an empty building on U.S. Highway 101. The building doubled as a fake community center where construction workers were trapped and in need of medical attention. By Alysha Beck, The World The students worked tirelessly for over an hour to Debbie Peabody,right,and Laura Schier,left,assess the condition help rescue actors who had various injuries and com- of Andrew Smith, acting as a man who fell off a ladder, during the plications following the quake.

Even in a news environment dominated by melodramatic, often bogus, group nar- ratives, the Susan Rice affair stands out. What began as a tragedy in Benghazi has degenerated into a classic Washington farce, with Fox News and its allies pushing GOP political correctness, politicians fak- ing indignation for TV cameras, and “mainstream” pundits advancing a false storyline for dramatic purposes. It all started, as the world knows, on Sept. 11, 2012, when a mob armed with rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and automatic weapons stormed the U.S. con- sulate in Benghazi, Libya, murdering U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three aides. It was the first such fatal inci- dent in 30 years. Almost universally revered, Stevens’ loss was keenly felt. Five days later, Ambassador Rice appeared on all the Sunday political talk shows to give the Obama administration’s response. Speaking from “talking points” written by the CIA, she made essentially the same statement everywhere she went.

I pro- CHEAPSKATE ceeded to pitch to her one mar- velous cost- cutting idea after THE BORN LOSER another. And one Mary after Hunt another, my ideas landed with a thud. That’s when she made a comment that effectively brought the interview to a screeching halt. She called me a Grinch. Now, she didn’t actually come right out and say, ZITS “You Grinch!” She suggest- ed my ideas would take all the fun and joy out of the season. She assured me it was nothing personal, but still, she called me a Grinch. Not being one who can easily let things go, I had to find out if what she sug- gested about me was in any way true. In my zeal to encourage people to take back control of Christmas CLASSIC PEANUTS from the locked jaws of commercialism, had I taken on a striking resemblance to that holiday grump, the THE FAMILY CIRCUS Grinch? I was quite certain I knew where to find out. Sure enough, right there on the shelf between “Horton Hears a Who” and “Hunches in Bunches” I found it — that familiar bright red storybook: “How FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE the Grinch Stole Christmas!” “The Grinch hated Christmas. The whole Christmas season! Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the rea- son.” The Grinch, an ornery old soul with a heart two sizes too small, detests the holi- day celebrations down in Who-ville. So he devises a great Grinchy trick to get rid ROSE IS ROSE of Christmas forever. He steals all the presents, the ribbons, the wrappings; the tags, and the tinsel, the trimmings — the trappings! He hauls all the loot to the top of Mt. Crumpit, where in a huge fit of glee he proceeds to — you guessed it — dump it! There! His task is com- plete. He’s taken care of Christmas once and for all. LUANN All the noise of the fun, all the joy and the love — even the smallest hint of the sea- son is gone forever. But what’s that sound? It’s not sobbing, but singing! The Whos began celebrating with no presents at all. The Grinch couldn’t stop it, Christmas came just the same, without packages, boxes and bags. I sat there recalling why I GRIZZWELLS love this story so much. And I admit it, I felt delightfully smug. That writer was way off base. I’m not the Grinch in her story. I didn’t steal the joy. Her Grinches are consumerism, overindul- gence and overdoing — the attitudes that insist Christmas is something we can find in a store or online. If you’ve noticed the joy of the season is missing from your life, maybe those Grinches are to blame. Maybe it’s time to take away their power. Authentic joy comes not MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN from all the outside trap- pings, but from our hearts; from the story of the birth of a small baby who would become our savior. From that love, our lives can fill with giddy joy. So let the singing begin!

NEW YORK (AP) — He’s Johnny Best in Football now — and a freshman, at that. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first newcomer to win the Heisman Trophy, taking college football’s top individual prize Saturday night after a record-breaking debut. Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o fin- ished a distant second in the voting and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein was third. In a Heisman race with two nontradi- tional candidates, Manziel broke through the class ceiling and kept Te’o from becoming the first purely defensive player to win the award. “That barrier’s broken now,”Manziel said. “It’s starting to become more of a trend that freshmen are coming in early and that they are ready to play.
