The all new C70 is one o f the first
open-top ears in the prem ium seg
ment with both a steel roof anti
space for four adults. The C 70 intel
ligent structural rigidity, am azing
list o f standard features, agreeable
driving characteristics, and all-out
good looks in both convertible or
coupe format, makes an excellent
choice.
The all-new Volvo C 70 was d e
veloped to offer new standards of
preventive and protective safety in
the convertible market. The car has

several solutions that make it unique
am ong open-top cars. The lack o f a
fixed roof has been com pensated
for by reinforcem ents in the struc
ture and sophisticated safety tech
nology. O ne unique exam ple is the
new door-m ounted inflatable cu r
tain, which is part o f the enhanced
protection system for side impacts.
Since the door-m ounted inflatable
curtain cannot be fitted within the
headliner like other Volvos, it is
fitted in the door and inflates up
wards when it is deployed
There’s only one model choice,
the T5, which m eansa light-pressure

Little league team finishes third in the world
NASCAR Suit
Second baseman Sam Albert scores during Saturday's Oregon-
Georgia Little League U.S. Championship game in South
Williamsport, Pa.
It was a great run and great fun
for the Murrayhill Little League team
that captivated the state during the
World Series in South Williamsport,
Pa., but Saturday’s 7-3 loss to C o
lumbus, G eorgia tied them for the
third place title with M exico after
weather w iped out a tie-breaking
game.

Beaverton were the first Oregon
team to m ake it to the Little League
W orld Series since 1958.
In the U. S. Cham pionship game
S aturday, M urrayhill fell behind
in the first inning a sG e o rg iac am e
out strong and built a 3-0 lead. By
the third inning a hom e run w ith
men on base by M urrayhill k n o t
ted the score at three ap iece and
from there it w as a p itch in g chess
m atch as both team s left m en on
base.
G eorgia’s bats woke up again in
the sixth and final inning and four
runs crossed the plate to build a
c o m fo rta b le c u s h io n , and the
M urrayhill batters hit consecutive
fly balls to end the game.
On M onday, G eorgia went on to
defeat Japan 2-1 to win the W orld
Series. A day earlier driving rains
soaked the field and ended the ad
venture for M urrayhill team, w ip
ing out not only theirchance to face
M exico in the third-place game, but
its lone shot at an international
team and an opportunity to finish
the series with a win.
However, they still m ade waves
this sum m er, ev idenced by the
grand and spirited reception at
Portland International Airport when
the team arrived home late M on
day. Portland’s Royal Rosarians
also showed up at to extend co n
gratulations and attach a small rose,
symbolic o f the city, to each b o y 's
uniform.
“ I'm exhausted,” said second
baseman Sam Albert, nearly yelling
to be heard above the m edia and
fam ily frenzy at the airport. “ It's
really good to be hom e again.”
