Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2013 theworldlink.com ■ 75¢ NB schools, teachers reach new agreement

BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World

NORTH BEND — With a shake-up in administration and a new outlook, the North Bend school board and teachers union were able to sit down and solve their problems. The bargaining teams for the school board and North Bend Education Association left their lawyers and UniServ consultants at the door Monday night. Instead, both parties met informally in a closed session to reach an agreement on teacher contracts. Negotiations have been locked and strained since April. A mediation “It was the session was By Lou Sennick, The World recently scheduled The fishing vessel Terry F crosses the Coos Bay bar Tuesday afternoon heading back into port in Charleston. nicest for January, but bargaining school board chair- person Megan session I’ve Jacquot said now that’s in the Expect great crab, OK season ever been in.” process of being canceled.

Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” — Pope Francis, if you haven’t been paying attention — went out for a spin one Sunday in Rome. It was one of his early forays into challenging Vatican security. He joined Rome’s Mother’s Day March for Life, both a celebration and a demonstra- tion, making a point to the city, country, and world about love, family, faith and duty. About a month later, Pope Francis presided over a Mass celebrating and reflecting on Pope John Paul II’s “Evangelium Vitae” (”The Gospel of Life”). “The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus’ message,” Pope John Paul II wrote. “Lovingly received day after day by the Church, it is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as “good news” to the people of every age and culture.” The “Gospel of Life” was a significant document, which helped bring evangeli- cals and Catholics together to support life Letters to the Editor politically and spiritually. The Gospel of Life was a welcoming ecumenical chal- lenge to the conscience of every person of faith.

NEW YORK (AP) — Financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost two- thirds of its employees in the Sept. 11 attacks, revealed a $135 million settlement with American Airlines and insur- ance carriers Tuesday to a judge who said it will end the final airplane-focused case resulting from wrongful death and personal injuries claims. The agreement averts a trial scheduled for next month, which means there will be no airing of such questions as how terrorists got through security before hijacking planes on Sept. 11, the best way to stop terrorists, whether there was really wrongdoing and negligence and how best to preserve liberties amid such threats, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said. “All this will remain a mystery,”he said.

B5• The World • Wednesday, December 18,2013 DILBERT Tips to avoid “turkey flu” this holiday season For years, Liz Tarditi’s mother tried to kill her family with turkey.Not intentionally, of course, but invariably FRANK AND ERNEST sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas someone in the family devel- oped flu-like symptoms. Mother blamed it on the weather EVERYDAY and CHEAPSKATE whatever influenza was going around, but the truth is THE BORN LOSER they suf- fered from mild Mary food poi- Hunt soning that required weeks to fully recover. Tarditi, a professional per- sonal chef, says the way to avoid “the flu” and make sure the holidays are as healthy as ZITS they are happy is to practice safe food handling techniques when preparing the Thanksgiving turkey. Conquer the bacteria. Most poultry contain small amounts of salmonella bacte- ria that, when ingested, can result in a variety of afflictions all the way from slight illness to death. The way to kill the salmonella in food is with heat and on surfaces with an anti- CLASSIC PEANUTS bacterial agent. Make it yourself. Every kitchen needs an effective antibacterial solution. But don’t spend $6 for a 12-ounce THE FAMILY CIRCUS bottle of cleaner. Make it yourself: One gallon of 70 F (cool) water plus one teaspoon of liquid bleach. Any warmer and the bleach evaporates; more bleach will harm some surfaces and fabrics. Don’t get obsessive, just measure care- FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE fully and stick with this per- fect, dirt-cheap recipe that will not harm wood, paint, marble or fabric. Sanitize liberally. Regularly sanitize all kitchen surfaces with this bleach water, partic- ularly those that may have come in contact with raw poultry, including the inside of the refrigerator. Proper prep. Clean out your refrigerator before you go ROSE IS ROSE shopping for a turkey. Make a place for a large sheet pan to catch the raw runoff drippings while it sits in the fridge. Leave the turkey wrapped and place it in the fridge on the sheet pan.Even sealed in plas- tic, it will drip. Let the frozen turkey thaw naturally. It will take one day per five pounds. No thawing shortcuts. Don’t take the frozen turkey out and leave it on the counter LUANN to speed thaw. Don’t try to quick-thaw it by placing it into the oven at a low temper- ature, or in a sink of water. Don’t “blast” it at 500 F for three hours before company arrives. Thawing a turkey any other way than in the refriger- ator on a sheet pan for several days invites trouble because it increases the chances that bacteria will make it through the cooking process alive and well. GRIZZWELLS Early thaw? No worries. Even if the turkey is thawed completely by say, Tuesday, just leave it fully wrapped in the refrigerator. It will still be excellent on Thursday. Rethink stuffing. As a stuffed bird cooks, raw juices drip into the soft, absorbent stuffing. It may be steaming hot when you spoon it out, so you think it’s fully cooked because the bird is. It’s not. It’s nearly impossible to cook a stuffed turkey to a perfect internal temperature and also MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN guarantee uncontaminated stuffing.Prepare your stuffing as you always have, but bake it in a separate foil-covered pan while the turkey’s roasting. After the bird is fully cooked and out of the oven, mix some of the roasting pan drippings and fat into the stuffing before you make the gravy. Easy does it. The easiest way to roast a turkey is to set the oven to 325 F. Place the turkey in a roasting pan, sea- son with salt and pepper and put it in uncovered. It will take about 3 hours for a 6-pound turkey; add 10-12 minutes for each additional pound, up to 6 hours total for a 25-pound bird. It’s done when it reads 165 F. Let the bird rest for 20 minutes before carving for juicier and more flavorful meat. B6 • The World •Wednesday, December 18,2013 Cl ass if i eds
