Nonprofit: Oregon ranks 2nd in US for addiction deaths, 50th in access to treatment
Oregon Recovers rallies at OHA workplace to lift consciousness
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregonians are dying at a staggering price from preventable addictions, in keeping with nonprofit Oregon Recovers.
Members of the group rallied in entrance of the Oregon Well being Authority in Portland on Saturday to attract consideration to alcohol- and addiction-related deaths.
Oregon Recovers says the state ranks second nationally in addiction-related deaths and final in entry to therapy.
Mike Marshall leads Oregon Recovers and says he wanted 1000’s of {dollars} to beat his personal dependancy disaster years in the past.
“After I received sober 14 years in the past, I needed to borrow $15,000 so as to get right into a therapy middle,” Marshall mentioned. “I had a good friend that would lend me $15,000 — think about having to go to the emergency room and borrowing $15,000 for having a coronary heart assault earlier than they’ll deal with you.”
Oregon Recovers has developed a 12-step course of to deal with dependancy within the state. It consists of an oversight workplace of dependancy restoration, coordinating efforts between Oregon businesses to deal with dependancy.
In case you’re affected by dependancy and in want, go to Oregon Restoration Community’s web site for therapy, detox, housing and assist companies.

Ohio State vs. Oregon Ticket Prices: Cheapest and Most Expensive Tickets for Rose Bowl
The No. 8 seed Ohio State Buckeyes will take on the No. 1 seed Oregon Ducks in the latest annual installment of the “Granddaddy of them all” in the Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day at 5 p.m. ET. The College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup is a rematch of the regular season conference thriller in Eugene, that the Ducks narrowly escaped with a one-point victory over the Buckeyes.
While that was a consequential conference tilt, this matchup holds even more meaning, with the winner advancing to the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 10 in the Cotton Bowl. The opponent will be the winner of New Year’s Day’s Peach Bowl matchup between No. 5 seed Texas and No. 4 seed Arizona State.
With that in mind, here is the current ticket situation for those looking to attend this year’s Rose Bowl.
The Rose Bowl is always a hot ticket, but especially in years where there is College Football Playoff consequences like there is this season.
Cheap tickets are hard to come by in a matchup featuring two bona fide national title contenders, but two tickets can be obtained on StubHub in section 12H in the middle part of the stadium bowl in the end zone for $149 per ticket before fees. Tickets are slightly less expensive for the “cheapest” tickets to the game on Vivid Seats, where two tickets can be obtained in section 12, row 66 for $135 each including fees. Tickets in section 12H are going for $147 each on SeatGeek, which includes fees.
If you’re looking for more than just going to the game, and want to get a premier seat to a contest featuring two great opponents, there are plenty of more expensive tickets available for an even better experience. Two tickets together in the club level of the Rose Bowl in section 109 are going for $1,031 per ticket after fees. Section 108 club level tickets are going for $1,846 after fees on Vivid Seats and for $1,041 in the club level (section 205) on SeatGeek.
If you want the club level experience, you’ll be paying for it on New Year’s Day.

Big 'O' Above Oregon's Campus Painted Red Ahead of Rose Bowl CFP Game vs. Ohio State

The giant “O” on Skinner Butte at the University of Oregon, normally painted yellow, has been splattered with red paint ahead of the Ducks’ matchup with Ohio State in the Rose Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal on New Year’s Day.
Haleigh Kochanski of the Register-Guard reported that she “reached out to the Eugene Police Department about the vandalism but had not received a response as of early Tuesday morning.”
A “paint tray and other paraphernalia” were reportedly left behind at the scene.
Oregon and Ohio State already played once this season, a 32-31 victory for the Ducks in Eugene. That was part of Oregon’s fantastic debut season in the Big Ten, which resulted in a perfect record, a conference championship, wins over Boise State, Ohio State and Penn State and the top overall seed and a first-round bye in the CFP.
That Oregon has to face the Buckeyes in the quarterfinals, however—while lower seeds like Penn State and Texas ended up with far easier matchups in Boise State and Arizona State, respectively—has called into question the CFP’s format. Currently, the four highest-seeded conference champions get first-round byes, which this year was Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Arizona State.
But that meant that lower seeds who had high rankings, like Penn State and Texas, ended up with easier CFP draws than Oregon. Penn State’s path to the championship round, potentially, will go through SMU, Boise State and either Georgia or Notre Dame.
Oregon, meanwhile, will have to get through Ohio State and either Texas (likely) or Arizona State. It’s arguable that, despite playing an extra game, the Nittany Lions have the easier path.
The solution would be to simply give the top four seeds to the four highest-ranked teams, though that may receive some pushback from the Big 12, ACC and non-Power 4 conferences. It would lead to a more balanced bracket, however.
