Back for the summer

North Bend will have overnight coverage JILLIAN WARD The World

likes the South Coast area.

On Saturday, in addition to LaFevre, the shift patrol members were Boat Engineer David Braley, Boatwain’s Mate 3rd Class Shannon Rising and Crewman Justin Herman. Four others also rotate in shifts for the Coquille River Patrol.

This year, the crew moved from the mobile home on Coast Guard Hill above the former Coast Guard building. The mobile home had severe weather damage, causing it to be unlivable.

Instead, the crew is back in the former Coast Guard building at 390 First St. SW, leasing three spaces — two upstairs for sleeping quarters and the space downstairs at the west end of the building, formerly leased for many years by Syd Wiesel, LCSW. That space, which includes a small kitchen, is being used as the common area.

NORTH BEND — As citizens braced for no police coverage from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. starting Tuesday night, the City of North Bend announced a continuation of 24-hour police coverage.

In the initial press release sent out that night, no explanation was provided except to say that county law enforcement agencies and the Coquille Indian Tribe were consulted on the issue.

“As a result of those consultations, and a contract for Public Safety services between the city and the Coquille Indian Tribe, the city has determined that it will be able to continue to provide coverage from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on a daily basis to the citizens of North Bend,” the release said.

The release pointed to Ballot Measure 6-177, approved by voters in the May election, which reduced the Public Safety Fee from $30 to $15 and cut the Public Safety budget by $785,000 as why there was going to be significantly less police coverage.

Last month, the council approved the 2020-2021 budget which was expected to cut five officers and dissolve two officer positions from the NBPD, leaving 12 officers on staff. It was written into the ballot measure and discussed during City Council meetings that the reduction would lead to no police coverage from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. starting June 30.

In a second press release sent out Wednesday, the city pointed to an uncertain financial future as why it planned to reduce police funding.

“It was clear going into the new fiscal year that the current levels of staffing were not sustainable due to the results of ballot measure 6-177,” the Wednesday release said. “It was also clear that there were uncertainties in future funding created by: • The Coquille Tribe’s desire to renegotiate its contract with the City for the provision of pub

Our brave Gold Beach Firefighters will be launching the annual fireworks display from the middle jetty under the bridge starting at 10 p.m. The public is prohibited from that immediate area and asked to keep the area clear for emergency vehicles. Viewing should be good from the north and south sides of the Rogue River and in the port area. We encourage everyone to get your spots early, and adhere to safe distancing guidelines.

“We are hopeful the weather holds and the fog stays out of the bay. Stay tuned for any changes to the event.

please have a responsible adult supervise children. Play safe, and play sober. And PLEASE leave the “Big Booms” to the professionals. With the onset on fire season and a plentiful supply of dry grass, it will be easy to start fires. If the firefighter have to stop the display to put out your fire we all lose out. We look forward to seeing everyone!”

U.S. Coast Guard returns to Bandon for busy season AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — The U.S. Coast Guard is back for the summer with a 47-foot motor lifeboat and new quarters in an historic building.

A crew of eight Coast Guard members will rotate throughout the season with four members on during weekends from Thursday through Sunday, providing 24-hour coverage of the Coquille River during the busy fishing season, both sport and commercial. The boat arrived later than its usual Memorial Day appearance this year, but will be stationed here on weekends through Labor Day or later, if boat traffic warrants it, said Boat Operator and Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Rachel LaFevre, acting Officer of the Day on Saturday.

“If traffic increases, we’ll be down more,” LaFevre said.

Holiday update: Fireworks in Gold Beach, Gardiner AMY MOSS STRONG The World

SOUTH COAST — Residents and visitors alike are probably wondering what’s happening this Fourth of July weekend and for the remaining of the summer along the South Coast with the current COVID-19 restrictions.

Here’s an update:

Fireworks displays canceled

Almost all cities along the Oregon Coast from Astoria to Brookings have canceled their

annual fireworks displays, following the lead of most jurisdictions and entities.

In addition, private displays, such as the annual much-anticipated Mill Casino-Hotel & RV Park’s July 3 fireworks show, have also been canceled.

City and county law enforcement lack the resources to control crowds or to enforce any type of physical distancing or health precautions with crowds of the expected sizes. The cancellation of other displays along the coast makes it likely that any area that

is having fireworks would be met with a flood of people.

The crowds also could create liabilities for cities and counties if there are COVID-19 surges following the events.

Most fireworks companies have agreed to carry over the money cities have already paid and apply it to next year’s display, city administrators have reported.

Fireworks displays scheduled

Coos Bay Police still seek info following ‘disturbing’ video The World COOS BAY — Police are still urging the public to provide information regarding a video of a man being harassing in the Empire area on June 23.

“On June 27 … the Coos Bay Police Department released a press release detailing an incident that occurred in the Empire area on (June 23),” read a release from CBPD on Wednesday afternoon.

“The press release provided information about an incident involving a

disturbing video of a male subject being harassed and followed by other subjects.

At the time of the press release, (CBPD) urged anyone with additional information to contact them.”

According to Wednesday’s press release, officers continued their investigation by checking surveillance videos from businesses and interviewing citizens who may have witnessed the incident.

Then on June 30 at 1 p.m., CBPD dispatch

received a call from a male subject who stated he filmed the video of the incident and requested to speak with an officer.

“A Coos Bay Officer responded to his location and the subject provided his account of the incident,” the release said. “During the interview, he explained that no one was physically assaulted and that no physical contact was made between any of the subjects. During the time of the interview, he wasn’t able to provide the officer with any additional names

of the others involved.”

But with additional information provided by witnesses and through video surveillance, “officers believe they have identified two additional involved subjects, whom they are attempting to locate for their statements. At this time, the incident is still under investigation.”

CBPD is still asking anyone with further information about the incident to call the department at 541-296-8911 or Coos Stop Crime at 541-2676666.

Taxpayers reminded of July filing deadlines The World SALEM — The Oregon Department of Revenue is reminding taxpayers that July 15 is the deadline for filing a tax return and paying tax due.

SOUTH COAST — The National Weather Service has issued a beach hazards statement warning of an elevated threat of dangerous sneaker waves expected over the Fourth of July weekend.

The beach hazards statement is in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening along South Coast beaches, from Douglas County to Curry County, particularly those beaches that are more south facing.

“Despite seemingly calm conditions, sneaker waves can sweep up the beach without warning and knock unsuspecting people over

and drag them out to sea,” NWS officials warned.

“Shock and hypothermia can occur quickly in the cold Pacific waters. Logs and other debris can be lifted and floated by these waves, crushing or entrapping unsuspecting victims underneath. Never turn your back to the ocean.”

Caution should be used when in or near the water.

People are advised to stay a safe distance from the water along beaches, rocks, jetties, piers and other waterside infrastructure.

View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh. noaa.gov/mfr/HAZARD. More information can be found at https://www. weather.gov/Medford.

Coos County has a new COVID-19 case

Busy Bee

JILLIAN WARD The World

Zach Silva, The World

A bee flies near some Scotch broom flowers along a path near the North Spit. People wanting to get out on a hike during the holiday weekend should be greeted by sunny skies and pleasant temperatures.

Oregon case count continues to soar The World PORTLAND — On Thursday, Oregon saw the largest single-day total case count of confirmed and presumptive caes of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, with 375 cases. There was also one death due to COVID-19, bringing the total for Oregon to 209.

Friday, the count was lower, but not by much: 344 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases were reported, with no deaths, bringing the state total cases to 9,636. New cases were reported in 28 of the state’s 36 counties Friday.

Oregon has experienced five weeks of case growth and cases are rising faster in rural communities and in central and eastern Oregon.

The largest county case

count Friday was in Umatilla County with 88 new cases attributed to outbreaks and community spread.

Earlier this week, Governor Kate Brown ordered face coverings to be worn in all indoor public places throughout the state. Masks and face coverings, along with maintaining 6-feet of distancing between people has been shown to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The Health Authority also released a table showing recent trends in cases by county between mid-June and the beginning of July.

These trends show where the COVID-19 virus is spreading at the fastest rate and which counties have the highest rates of “sporadic” transmission – i.e., cases that do not have a clear epidemiological

link to other outbreaks or clusters of infections and therefore indicate that the virus is spreading uncontained in a community.

Governor Kate Brown identified eight counties that will be placed on a “Watch List” based on these data: Jefferson, Lake, Lincoln, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union and Wasco.

State and local health officials will closely monitor the situation in these counties in coming days and prioritize additional resources to suppress the virus in these hotspot communities.

To see more case and county-level data, go to the Oregon Health Authority COVID-19 website: www. healthoregon.org/coronavirus.

The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported Friday are

in the following counties: Benton (7), Clackamas (22), Clatsop (1), Columbia (3), Coos (1), Crook (1), Deschutes (9), Douglas (1), Jackson (9), Jefferson (5), Josephine (3), Klamath (2), Lake (1), Lane (16), Lincoln (18), Linn (2), Malheur (20), Marion (32), Morrow (10), Multnomah (59), Polk (5), Sherman (1), Tillamook (1), Umatilla (49), Union (8), Wasco (10), Washington (46), and Yamhill (1).

New cases reported Thursday are in the following counties: Clackamas (22), Columbia (1), Crook (1), Deschutes (9), Douglas (2), Jackson (15), Jefferson (8), Josephine (8), Lane (15), Lincoln (3), Linn (3), Malheur (16), Marion (32), Morrow (8), Multnomah (64), Tillamook (1), Umatilla (88), Union (5), Wasco (2), Washington (67), and Yamhill (5).

Mask requirement is a ‘proper precaution’ JILLIAN WARD The World

COOS COUNTY — As the governor’s guidance to wear masks in public spaces goes into effect, Coos Health and Wellness talks about what that means for the county.

“As we learn more about COVID-19, evidence continues to mount that face coverings play a critical role in reducing transmission,” said Gov. Kate Brown in press release. “We have to live with this disease for a while. And that is going to require adjusting our habits — taking the simple step of covering our nose and mouth in spaces where we interact with others.”

Incident Commander Eric Gleason with Coos Health and Wellness said this means customers will need to wear masks when walking into businesses, including grocery stores, gyms, and shopping malls. According to Gov. Brown’s guidance on the state website, it also includes public transit, personal service providers, and ride sharing services.

“It’s a positive move,”

Gleason said of the new guidance, which went into effect on Wednesday, July 1, statewide. “Our cases in the state are increasing seemingly daily and when you look at the rate of our positives throughout the state on a daily basis they’re much higher than we had to work with when this started.

We’re at a point where we have to make decisions on how to remain open.”

Gleason pointed out that there were a number of people who held protests to reopen the state and that in order to stay open “we have to do things that protect each other and this is the best way to do it, in my opinion, as we progress through the phased approach to reopen.”

Based on what experts know right now about the new coronavirus, early precautions of washing hands, not touching your face, and staying six feet apart should still be followed, Gleason said. “…Wearing a mask does reduce the possibility of spreading the virus, but it isn’t a perfect system,” he said, explaining why the

other precautions are needed. “(People) should wear their masks properly as well, because if you don’t it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing it – if your nose is sticking out, it doesn’t do you any good.”

Under the new guidelines, Gleason said customers should wear masks or face shields walking into restaurants but are allowed to take them off when eating and drinking.

“Restaurants in Phase II still have to follow the Phase II requirements,” he said, which included having employees wear masks while interacting with the public and spacing customers six feet apart.

Also under the guidelines, businesses are encouraged to provide disposable masks to customers but not required.

When asked how these new guidelines will be enforced, Gleason said “that is always the question.”

“I have not seen an enforcement aspect to this,” he said. “I think it is a question pushed up to the (Oregon Health Authority) as to what the businesses

do and I don’t know what the answer will be.”

So far, COVID-19 restrictions have been enforced with a Class C Misdemeanor. Gleason said it is unclear if that will apply to the new guidance or not. “…(Coos Health and Wellness) has always stressed that we have to do this together — we as a community have to work together to keep our numbers down and our community moving in the right direction to reopen,” Gleason said. “We can’t do that if we don’t take the proper precautions.

This mask requirement is a proper precaution.”

He pointed out that not only has Oregon seen an uptick in cases, but so has Coos County. “…If we wear masks and find a way to work together as a community, we will move in the right direction and there wouldn’t be a reason to go back to Phase 0 because we would have done what we need to do,” he said.

“If we the community can’t do the things we need to do, then we allow others to make the decisions for us….”

COOS COUNTY — A new case of COVID-19 is being reported in Coos County.

It was announced during the Coos Health and Wellness press briefing on Thursday, where Incident Commander Eric Gleason said the new patient is a youth.

“We were tracking it and now it’s a positive (case),” he said. “It was a person under monitoring that wasn’t presumptive but escalated to a positive.”

When asked if this person had traveled out of Coos County, he said that information wasn’t available at the time of the briefing.

“We were watching this case due to contact they had with a positive case…,” he said. “She started showing symptoms and then was tested.”

As the Fourth of July weekend begins, Gleason encouraged the public to take proper precautions

such as washing hands and wearing masks.

“We saw an increase in cases statewide after Memorial Day and hope we don’t see another (increase) after July 4th,” he said.

In a press release from Coos Health and Wellness on Thursday evening, listing 11 new COVID-19 cases in the past 28 days, the public was reminded that traveling “still comes with risks.”

“Please keep this in mind as you plan your activities for the … holiday weekend,” the release said. “High risk activities include large gatherings, even with family members, travel outside of our area, and gatherings indoors with those from outside your household.

You can reduce your risk by attending or hosting smaller gatherings outside, staying six feet apart and wearing a face covering…

Please remember that it is up to us, as a community, to be the best public health stewards we can be.”

Curry County officials report three new cases The World GOLD BEACH — Curry County Public Health has received notification from Curry General Hospital of three confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Two of the confirmed positive cases are non-residents traveling from outside the area, both individuals are from the same household and the cases have been referred back to their state of residence, according to a press release from Curry County Public Health Administrator Sherrié R. Ward.

A third unrelated case is a Curry County resident who tested positive for COVID-19. Contact tracing and investigation is being performed and all three are self-isolating and

monitoring symptoms.

“It is imperative that we all follow the OHA, CDC and Governor’s guidelines about social distancing, protecting yourselves and staying home to slow the spread and save lives,” Ward said.

“Curry County Public Health will continue to keep the public informed with all the information we can in order to keep our citizens safe,” Ward added.

This brings the Curry County COVID-19 positive cases to eight, with five of those recovered. The two non-resident cases are counted in their respective counties. In Curry County, there have been 722 negative tests of the 730 total people tested of the county’s 23,000 residents.

Making donations to Black Lives Matter count DANIELLE KANE

Better Business Bureau

Seeing the suffering and struggle in our local communities prompts many people to reach into their wallets to provide support. As the Black Lives Matter movement has recently gained steam again following the death of George Floyd, we’re seeing dozens of organizations, both old and new, rise to the surface in hopes of bringing change.

As consumers look to contribute, some are out in the streets protesting, but due to fears over COVID-19, many are still at home wondering how they can participate.

At Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific, we know folks passionate about the Black Lives Matter movement want to give. But, deciding where to donate isn’t always easy. How do you make sure your money is making an impact?

“Donating to a cause you support is a great way to help make a difference,” says Kelsey Gardipee, Charity Review Manager for BBB Northwest + Pacific. “To make sure that your donation makes the greatest impact, do a quick bit of research first to ensure that you know who you’re donating to.”

This is particularly important right now as consumers decide which element of the cause they want to give to – different funds are set up for very different reasons. Are you looking to donate to victim relief? A bail fund? Or perhaps an organization focused on policy change?

Whichever you’re looking to do, double-check the charity’s website and mission to verify.

Another piece to consider is the organization’s process for distributing funds. Researching here is vital to know exactly how your money will be used — try to locate a financial report to see how much of each donation goes to operational costs vs. boots on the ground.

Established, legitimate charities should have the capacity and experience to address these common questions and have a track record ready for your review.

No matter the group want to support, make certain your money is truly being used to help causes that matter to you.

Better Business Bureau offers these tips: Research. Get familiar with the organization and its mission. Visit the organization’s official website to learn about their purpose and how they work to achieve their goals, including all the resources they offer for getting involved.

Double-check the donation method. PayPal, Venmo and Cash App are easy ways to give, and many social media posts are directing people to use these methods. But before

Even and steady justice Danielle Kane

Better Business Bureau

you donate, make sure you have the correct account or handle. Donating via a quickpay app does not have the same protections as using a credit card should your donation land in the wrong hands.

Check social media for updated information. Some organizations have received so many donations recently that they recommended people donate to other charities. The most up-to-date information can usually be found on their social media page.

Consult outside sources.

Websites like BBB’s Give. org, Charity Navigator, and Charity Watch can help you decide where to give. While every organization may not be listed in their directories, these websites can help you connect with reliable opportunities to donate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Trump and his enablers must be defeated Trump previously campaigned as a conservative to drain the swamp, serve working Americans, and promote health care.

While he eked out Electoral College victory, most voters rejected him.

The reality is Trump: cozies up to international dictators and enemies of our nation while affronting friends and allies; promotes tax cuts benefiting mainly Trump and friends; costs lives rejecting science and promoting conspiracy hoaxes; endorses nation-wide voter suppression; undermines health care for millions; coasted on Obama’s economic recovery while undermining it with insane trade wars; replaces the swamp with incompetent toadies delivering the most corrupt self-serving administration ever; apparently condones Putin’s bounty on American soldiers’ lives, stimulates conservative rejection of

Republicanism by reflecting no political philosophy beyond narcissism while offering no reason for his re-election except staying out of jail.

Only racist supporters of incompetence, treason, and dictatorship could now vote TrumpBarr-Pence. Nation-wide, Trump and his Republican enablers must be defeated.

Alan Journet Jacksonville, Ore. North Bend city manager cannot be trusted Sounds like the city manager of North Bend was giving false information to voters over police coverage to sway the vote.

Alan Post North Bend

Chief Justice John Roberts has recently sided with the Supreme Court’s four liberal justices on three key rulings: barring discrimination against LGBTQ employees; outlawing draconian abortion restrictions in Louisiana; and protecting about 700,000 undocumented “Dreamers” from deportation.

To think that the deeply conservative chief has somehow undergone a conversion and moved to the left profoundly misunderstands his motives. Precisely because he is still a conservative, in the best sense of that noble word, Roberts believes deeply in stability and precedent. In his opinion on the Louisiana abortion case, he quotes Sir William Blackstone, the 18th-century British jurist, about the preeminent need “to keep the scale of justice even and steady, and not liable to waver with every new judge’s opinion.”

Those values set Roberts directly against the prevailing culture in Washington today, where every decision is seen through the lens of partisan -even tribal -- loyalties. An UsAgainst-Them mentality, fueled and fostered by President Trump, has been mimicked by his opponents; both sides now aim to transform the judicial branch from unbiased arbiter to unwavering ally.

Trump has made good on his campaign promise, packing the federal bench with about 200 youthful orthodox right-wing judges. Joe Biden, his Democratic opponent, has also violated the tradition of an unbiased judiciary, vowing to appoint a black woman to the court who passes a strict litmus test: upholding legalized abortions.

In his recent decisions, Roberts has taken a very different approach, putting “the institutional integrity of the Supreme Court over personal ideology,” according to his biographer, Joan Biskupic.

Richard J. Lazarus, a Harvard law professor, told The Washington Post that the chief’s opinion in the abortion case

Steven V. Roberts

was “a shot across the bow at presidential candidates who campaign with lists of nominees based on the assumption that, if confirmed, they will, of course, necessarily vote based on the preferences of the majority who supported that candidate.”

Roberts has not always lived up to those principles, and his deep antipathy to racial preferences has, at times, strongly served Republican partisan interests. In 2013, he provided a critical fifth vote in the disastrous Shelby County ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and has led to a wholesale GOP assault on the political power of minority voters, who tend to support Democrats. Three years earlier, he joined another five-vote majority in the Citizens United case that opened the floodgates for wealthy individuals to buy political influence through unlimited campaign contributions.

But his defense of the “institutional integrity” of the court has been strengthened by two developments since those decisions. The retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2018, and his replacement by Brett Kavanaugh, made Roberts the swing vote between the court’s liberal and conservative wings. And Trump’s incessant attacks on “so-called” and “unelected” and “Obama” judges have clearly offended the chief and led him to issue a stunning rebuke of the president.

“We do not have ‘Obama

judges’ or ‘Trump judges,’ ‘Bush judges’ or ‘Clinton judges,’” Roberts asserted.

“What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

The value of that “independent” judiciary -- and Justice Department -- has been graphically illustrated by two recent cases involving political allies of the president. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, twice pleaded guilty to perjury charges, and yet Attorney General William Barr has tried to drop the case against him. The presiding district judge, Emmet Sullivan, asked outside lawyer John Gleeson to review the case, and Gleeson branded Barr’s action “highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the president.”

Still, a three-judge panel upheld Barr’s misguided action, and the majority opinion was written by Neomi Rao, a classic ideologue appointed

by Trump and approved by the Senate without a single Democratic vote. Her opinion was immediately greeted by a triumphant Trump, who tweeted: “Great!”

A Justice Department lawyer, Aaron Zelinsky, told Congress that the department softened a sentencing recommendation for another Trump crony, Roger Stone, “because of his relationship to the president.” He agreed to testify, said Zelinsky, because “what happened here was wrong.”

When it comes to the rule of law, Trump is no conservative.

He’s a radical devoted to weaponizing the legal and judicial process to serve his political aims and allies. In recent decisions, the chief justice has shown he is the true conservative: defending the “even and steady” application of precedent and principle.

OBITUARIES Stephen Michael “Mike” Erickson

Tom Tymchuk

March 6, 1942 - June 25, 2020

July 9, 1928-June 29, 2020

Longtime South Coast community leader Tom Tymchuk passed away peacefully from age-related issue on June 29, 2020 with family at his side.

Born in Fernie, British Columbia on July 9, 1928, Tom was the third of six children of William and Katherine Tymchuk.

Raised in the midst of the Great Depression. Tom left home at age 14 to work on a farm for room and board and $12 a month. He sent most of his pay home to his mother to help with the family bills. At age 15, Tom tried to enlist in the Canadian Navy, but was denied because he was too young. He then went to work as a logger, again sending his paycheck to his mother.

In 1948, Tom traveled to the United States where he found work in logging camps in Washington, Oregon, and northern California. He met the love of his life, Marlene Alspaugh, in Port Orford in 1952. They would marry in June 1956,

and celebrated 53 years of marriage before Marlene passed away in September, 2009.

Tom left the woods in 1957 when he opened a grocery store in Reedsport.

He would own and operate the “Highland Market” for seventeen years. After selling his store, Tom was appointed the OLCC agent in Reedsport and he operated the OLCC agency until his retirement in 1990.

Tom devoted countless hours to making Reedsport and Oregon’s south coast a better place in which to live, work, and raise a family. His public service included four years on the Lower Umpqua Hospital Board of Directors, four terms as Mayor of Reedsport from 1969-1977 and nine terms on the Board of Directors of the Central Lincoln Public Utility District. In addition, Tom was appointed three times by the United States Secretary of Agriculture to the National Dunes Recreation Area Advisory Board. His service on that board ended when the board was abolished by newly-inaugurated President Jimmy Carter.

Tom enjoyed saying that he was fired by Jimmy Carter and got revenge four years later when Ronald Reagan defeated Carter.

Tom also served for 35 years as a member (nine as Chairman) of the Board of Pacific Security Bank.

He was a proud member of both the Lions Club and

the Masonic Lodge for over half a century. Until his final year, he was a dedicated volunteer for the Lower Umpqua Hospital and for Meals on Wheels.

Tom and Marlene, a career educator who was named Oregon’s Teacher of the Year in 1980, were proud to raise two sons who shared their commitment to community service. Keith Tymchuk is a public school teacher who also served as Mayor of Reedsport and succeeded his father on the Central Lincoln PUD Board of Directors. Kerry Tymchuk worked for several national and state political leaders and is Executive Director of the Oregon Historical Society.

Tom is survived by his son Keith and wife, Jennifer and their daughters Bailey and Blair; son Kerry and wife, Becky and their children Kate and Clark.

Tom and Marlene also served as mentors to many young people in Reedsport, including “adopted” daughter Jody Sherman.

A private family service has been held. A public celebration of Tom’s remarkable life will occur when his many friends and admirers can gather. Remembrances to the “Tom and Marlene Scholarship Fund” c/o Umpqua Bank, 1975 Winchester Avenue, Reedsport, Oregon 97467.

They enjoyed many gatherings there with family and friends. Betty worked at College Park Day Care for several years. She loved cake decorating and made

PORTLAND (AP) — Some journalists and legal observers will be exempt from Portland police orders requiring protesters to disperse after an unlawful assembly or riot is declared, under a 14-day temporary order issued by a federal judge Thursday.

Police also cannot arrest, threaten to arrest or use physical force against a person “who they know or reasonably should know” is a journalist or legal observer. The order says officers are not to seize their cameras, audio or videotaping equipment or press passes unless police have probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.

The request for the restraining order came in a class-action lawsuit filed this week by the American Civil Liberties Union or Oregon against Portland Police and the city on behalf of journal-

Leonard Erickson where they had hunted since 1957.

Mike was always a do it yourself kind of man.

Handy at everything from working on cars to building his home and everything else he could possibly do himself. Mike had many hobbies and passions including woodworking, camping, fishing, hunting, crabbing and generally all outdoor activities. In most recent years he enjoyed relaxing in the sun in quiet reflection.

He was a hardworking man with exceptional skills as a crane operator on the waterfront. Mike served for several years on the Local 12 safety committee.

He was a respected man on and off of the waterfront where he was very humble and carried himself with much respect towards others and never bragged of his accomplishments. As a private person, it was the simple things in life that he enjoyed.

In 2017, Mike was diagnosed with cancer; he battled this horrible disease for the next three years.

During this time, he never complained or expected sympathy and always put others ahead of himself

and his needs until passing on June 25th in his home of almost 50 years. He will be remembered for his love of family, nature and gentle, kind, easygoing personality.

He is survived by his wife, Kay Erickson of North Bend; his son, Steve Erickson of North Bend; his daughter, Michelle Erickson of Vancouver, WA; two grandchildren, Matthew Scott of Portland, OR and Jolten Erickson of North Bend; one great grandson, Elijah Scott of Portland, OR; sister, Linda Crawford of Bend, OR; brothers, Richard “Dick” Erickson of North Bend and Leonard Erickson of LaGrande, OR. Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Virginia Erickson and grandson, Jared Michael Clifford Erickson.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the American Institute for Cancer Research or the American Red Cross.

A graveside service for Stephen “Mike” Erickson, 78, of North Bend will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, July 10, at Sunset Memorial Park, 63060 Millington Frontage in Coos Bay, with pastor Bill Moldt of Hauser Community Church, officiating.

Mike was born March 6, 1942 to William “Bill” and Virginia Erickson in Marshfield, Oregon. He passed away peacefully June 25, 2020 at his North Bend home, from cancer.

Mike was raised in Glasgow, Oregon, where he spent his childhood hunting, fishing, clam digging and all of the other activities this area has to offer. After graduation from North Bend High School in 1960, Mike started his career as a casual Longshoreman. During his time as a casual Longshoreman, he also earned a two year diploma in Mechanical Technology-Automotive in 1963 from Southwestern Community College.

In 1964 he became a Registered Longshoreman in Local 12 where he spent the next 40 years loading and unloading cargo ships primarily on the North Bend/Coos Bay waterfront until retiring in 2004.

In 1962 he married Kay Huntsucker and they had two children, Steve and Michelle. Throughout the years when not working on the waterfront and caring for his family, he looked forward to his hunting trips to eastern Oregon mule deer hunting with his dad Bill and brothers Dick and

ists and legal observers who they say were targeted and attacked by the police while documenting protests.

“We are very pleased that the court granted some relief prior to the long holiday weekend,” said Matthew Borden, partner at BraunHagey & Borden LLP who is serving as co-counsel with the ACLU. “We hope that this creates a needed shield for members of the press and legal observers documenting how police are treating protesters.”

The court order says journalists may be identified by having a press pass, badge, or clothing that identifies them as a

member of the press. Legal observers included in the order can be identified by green National Lawyers Guild hats or blue ACLU of Oregon vests.

The suit in Federal District Court in Portland says police have used tear gas, shot rubber bullets and thrown flash bangs at journalists and legal observers in addition to arresting them. The complaint lists six primary plaintiffs—two ACLU observers and four journalists.

The suit seeks damages for those injured by the conduct.

A City of Portland spokesperson has said the city does not comment on pending litigation.

Fiery crash kills driver Wednesday

Scenic Sixes River

The World WINCHESTER BAY — All lanes of U.S. Highway 101 were closed with no detour available for approximately four hours Wednesday after a car chase ended in a firey crash and fatality.

At approximately 10:46 a.m., a Douglas County deputy attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle south of Reedsport on U.S. Highway 101, according to a press release fro the Oregon State Police. The operator eluded

police in the vehicle and headed south, eventually crashing on Highway 101 near milepost 218 at Clear Lake between Winchester Bay and Lakeside. The car went up in flames, killing the operator of the vehicle, who was the only person in the car and has not yet been identified.

What appeared to be explosive devices were located at the scene and the Oregon State Police Explosives Unit arrived to investigate. OSP is also investigating the crash.

Two hurt in ATV crash on the dunes Amy Moss Strong, The World

The Sixes River Recreation Site, located 11 miles up Sixes River Road off U.S. Highway 101, 25 miles south of Bandon and five miles north of Port Orford, is a popular camping and day-use area. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, both the Sixes River Recreation Site and Edson Creek, located four miles up Sixes River Road, offer campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and toliets, as well as day-use and picnic areas near the river. Camping, picnicking and hiking are popular activities this summer as many group activities, such as festivals, outdoor concert and fairs have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A bit of history: In 1856, the disovery of gold on the Sixes River caused a flurry of gold mining and settlement on the southern Oregon Coast. The long-gone town of Summersville, established as a gold mining town from the mid-1850s to the 1940s, is where the Sixes River Recreation Site is now located.

ATV advisory committee meets July 7 The World OREGON — The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s All-Terrain Vehicle Highway Access Routes Advisory Committee will meet via conference call from 10 a.m.-noon July 7 to discuss the proposed ATV access route designation for a segment of Spinreel Road, located west of Lakeside.

Guard From A1

On the walls of that room, LaFevre said there are large painted murals depicting Coast Guard boats crossing Bandon’s sometimes treacherous bar, signed by K.L. Jones. One depicts a 44-foot motor lifeboat and the other shows a 36-foot motor lifeboat.

Those boats were replaced in the late 1980s and early 1990s by the 47-foot motor lifeboats used today.

Josh Adamson, project manager for the Port of Bandon, said the Coast Guard is leasing the space from the Port under a one-year license until they decide whether they want a longer-term lease.

LaFevre said “it’s pretty cool” living in the building where former Coast Guard members lived that was built in 1939 after the Bandon Fire of 1936 leveled much of that area of what is now Old Town.

The building was located adjacent to the Coquille River for the specific purpose of housing the Coast Guard. It has three stories plus a lower shop area. On the river side is a dock, now rotted and unsafe, that

The call is open to the public, but there will not be time for public comments during the meeting. The committee will also give an overview of the proposed designation.

How to access the conference call: • Listen only: dial 1 (914) 614-3221, access code ID: 429-669-815.

• Register online to listen and view the presentation via web browser.

The proposed segment of Spinreel Road is a halfmile stretch that runs from the U.S. Highway 101 overpass to Airport Way. If designated, the segment would provide ATV access between Lakeside and the Spinreel dunes.

A public comment period for the proposed designation is open through July 6. Send comments via email to ian. caldwell@oregon.gov and

Eric.S.LEAMING@odot. state.or.us.

was once used as a fueling dock, and a ways — a boat launching and hauling area.

Boat builders such as Joe Bolduc built two paddlewheelers in the 1980s that had their maiden launch from the Coast Guard dock.

The Port obtained the shuttered and decommissioned building from the federal government in the early 1980s, in a trade for land the Port owned on the north side of Moore Mill.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service was interested in owning the land to expand the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, which was officially established in 1983. The Port refurbished the building to make it livable again.

The bottom floors of the building have since been used as the Port’s shop area, while the upstairs rooms have been leased to various tenants, including at one time the Bandon Historical Society Museum. The upstairs main apartment — the commanding officer’s quarters — was later used to house the Port manager and his family, then the harbormaster and his family.

That space is now used as the Port’s offices.

People may have noticed the Coast Guard crew

clearing the area across from the building that used to be a stairway, which was used by crew members to access the top of the hill to observe the bar and river. LaFevre said they are clearing the area and cleaning up the concrete block and will paint it and “make it look nice.”

“It’s pretty rough, though,” LaFevre said, stressing that the path is not open to the public.

On Sundays, the crew moves the boat back to Charleston, which takes about 30 minutes, though they may extend its weekend stay in the Bandon marina if boat traffic increases.

“We’ll reevaluate (each

weekend) and we might stay longer,” LaFevre said.

Meanwhile, if the boat is in the marina, the crew is here, she said. And she reminds the public not to be concerned if they hear the boat and a Coast Guard helicopter from Sector North Bend doing training exercises, even in the late evening when it’s almost dark.

“If we’re lowering a basket up and down, it’s definitely training,” she said.

Those who need to contact the Coast Guard for bar conditions or other reasons can call the line they’ve had for many years — 541-347-2038 — it’s been transferred down to the Coast Guard building.

According to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, the CCSO, Hauser Fire Department and Bay Cities Ambulance responded to the accident at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area near Hauser on Monday, June 29, at 7:34 p.m.

The accident took place when a motorcycle, operated by Connor Main, 21, of Port Orchard, Wash., with passenger Nathanial Rowan, 21, of Ollala, Wash., was heading southbound over a small dune and went over a small drop off.

For more information, call Becky, 541-425-0277 or Colleen, 541-2477990.

Gardiner

There will be a fireworks display in Gardiner on July 4. Here are the details: Fourth of July Fireworks Show, presented by the Gardiner Fire Department. The festivities begin at 10 a.m. at the Gardiner Fire Department, 208 Marsh St., just north of Reedsport. The event includes a food stand featuring barbecued hamburgers and hot-dogs, potato salad and drinks for purchase.

A fundraising car wash will also be held.

Fireworks start at sundown and will be fired over the water across from the fire department. There will be paid parking inside the fenced area for $6.

Important note from the Gardiner Fire Department: “We are following social distancing guidelines from the government (including) 6 feet stay safe. Thank you for practicing social distancing. Please come join us for the fun and help support our local volunteers!”

Coos Bay Speedway

On Saturday, July 11, the Eve of Destruction XI American Daredevil Mr. Dizzy and the Oregon Coast’s Best Fireworks will be held at the Coos Bay Speedway, 94320 Highway 42.

The grandstands open at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 6:30 p.m. Fireworks happen after dusk. There is an admission fee. For more information, call 541-269-2474 or visit the website at http://www.coosbayspeedway.us/

Legal fireworks only

It is illegal to possess or light illegal fireworks in the state of Oregon. The definition of an illegal firework is: “Illegal firework in the state of Oregon is anything that will fly in the air, explode, travels more than 6 feet on the ground or 12 inches in the air.”

If you did not buy it from a fireworks stand in the state of Oregon it is more likely than not illegal. Citations and fines can be issued by local law enforcement for those in possession of or found lighting illegal fireworks.

Though there will be no fireworks over the bay this year, and no family day in Mingus Park or Mayor’s Firecracker Run. Coos Bay city employees will still celebrate America’s Independence — just in a less explosive way.

City Manager Rodger Craddock announced that instead of fireworks, Coos Bay residents will see police and fire vehicles driving through the city playing patriotic music and giving away miniature American flags.

On July 4, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. three police and three fire vehicles will tour the city. The fire department plans to send one ladder truck and two fire engines. The police department will send three marked vehicles.

The vehicles will roam in pairs of one fire vehicle and one police vehicle through different segments of Coos Bay. The city has been loosely divided by neighborhood and the pairs will drive through Empire, Eastside and Coos Bay. Fire Chief Mark Anderson said, “It’s not a parade route. We’re just spending time, driving the streets, handing out mini flags, wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July and encouraging them to enjoy the holiday.”

Blackberry Arts Festival and Bay Area Fun Festival

The Coos Bay Downtown Association has made the difficult decision to cancel two major festivals that draw thousands of visitors to the downtown core.

“Because of COVID-19 restrictions placed on festivals in the phased reopening of Coos County, the CBDA board made the decision to cancel the Blackberry Arts Festival on Aug. 22-23 and the Bay Area Fun Festival on Sept. 19-20,” said CBDA Executive Director Holly Boardman in a press release. “Instead, the focus will be on building other promotions and events that will help bring visitors to the downtown area.”

The Blackberry Arts Festival is a juried arts and crafts festival that has been happening consecutively for 37 years.

The Bay Area Fun Festival would have been in its 43rd consecutive year. The Prefontaine Memorial Run was also canceled, as well as the Cruz the Coos and Show ‘n Shine.

Music on the Bay

Music on the Bay open air summer concerts in Mingus Park and 7 Devils Brewing Co. have also been canceled.

No fireworks on the beach

The public is reminded that no fireworks of any kind, even legal ones, are allowed on beaches or Oregon State Park property.

In addition, beach fires are not allowed south of Cape Arago to the Coos-Curry County line. This rule went into effect on June 24.

To report a controlled beach fire in the Bandon area, please call Bullards Beach State Park at 541-3472209 ext. 221 or 222 and leave a message. Do not call 911 to report, unless the fire is out of control.

North Bend July Jubilee

North Bend’s summer festival, the July Jubilee, scheduled for July 1719, has been canceled. “We are sorry to inform our loyal fans of a long time tradition that for this year, we have to cancel,” stated a post on the event’s Facebook page. “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed so much for all of us this year. We are heartbroken. Stay happy and healthy and we will see you in 2021.”

Please take care during these crazy times.”

The Gay 90s Festival in June also was canceled.

Cranberry Festival

Organizers for Bandon’s 64th Cranberry Festival, scheduled for Sept. 11-13 have not yet made a decision on whether to cancel the town’s signature event. “With the surge of cases, it’s really hard to predict a festival,” said Bandon Chamber of Commerce CEO Margaret Pounder. “We really will need to wait until mid-July to make any decisions. We will hope to update in mid-July.”

Check back with the Bandon Chamber of Commerce at Bandon. com for more information.

Reedsport Oregon Chainsaw Championships

The Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Championship, set for June 18-21 was canceled and rescheduled to June 17-21, 2021. The Rock and Gem Show and Sale, which runs concurrently with the Chainsaw Championship and the Downtown Artwalk, was also canceled.

Fireworks on the Bay

“In light of the current pandemic, the difficult decision has been made to cancel this year’s Fourth of July Fireworks on the Bay in Winchester Bay,” said an organizer. “Many, if not most, cities along the Oregon coast have canceled fireworks displays.”

DuneFest

DuneFest, scheduled for July 2126, is considered the premiere ATV sand event in the country. It features motocross racing, sand drags, freestyle shows, charity auction and much more. Unfortunately, this year’s event has been canceled.

“I am sorry to say that DuneFest 2020 has been canceled,” said Jody Morrow, DuneFest coordinator. “Governor Brown announced that ‘large gatherings such as conventions, festivals, and major concerts and live audience sporting events will need to be canceled at least through September. Restarting events of this size will require a reliable treatment or prevention, like a vaccine, which is many months off.’

“As a Chamber event, we were holding out hope that things would improve,” Morrow added. “For those of you who have been coming for years and collect dog tags or camping stickers, we will have 2020 items available with the phrase #quarantined on them. Please send an email to dunefestevent@gmail.com with the subject ‘quarantined’ and we will put them in the mail to you as soon as they are available.

Kool Coastal Nights

Kool Coastal Nights features 300 cars for a Show ‘n Shine event, along with a harbor cruise for those nostalgic for the 1950s. However, the event, set for Aug. 22, has been canceled this year.

Old Time Fiddlers Jamboree

“Sadly, due to our Governor issuing new guidelines for the the gathering of groups which will remain in effect at least until September, we are forced to cancel our Winchester Bay Campout Aug. 13-16,” stated the OOTFA’s Facebook page.

Port Orford Port Orford July Jubilee

From the Port Orford July Jubilee Committee: “Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 virus, the Port Orford Jubilee Committee has made the very tough decision to cancel the 2020 Port Orford Jubilee. Given the Governor’s current safety guidelines, along with the uncertainty of when there will be any change in those guidelines, we feel like we will not effectively have enough time to prepare for a successful event.

“We will also not be hosting the Town Wide Yard Sales this year either. While it is an extremely difficult decision to make, we feel this is the best decision for us to make right now.

“Please know that we will have a bigger and even better Port Orford Jubilee in 2021! For now, please stay healthy, and thank you for your understanding of this extremely difficult decision.”

Powers White Cedar Days

“It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that the 2020 White Cedar Days celebration and fireworks show (Fourth of July weekend) are canceled,” stated a post on the event’s Facebook page. “However — a new event is in the works for later this year. We will help to relay the new event announcement here.

“We encourage you all to continue to celebrate Independence Day and our nation’s courageous spirit with your families by creating new traditions and memories to last a lifetime.

We are united! Don’t let a little social distancing make you forget that we’re all in this together and we will get through it together. We look forward to bringing you a bigger, better White Cedar Days for 2021!”

Myrtle Point Coos County Fair & Rodeo

After much deliberation, the Coos County Fair Board announced its decision to cancel the 2020 Coos County Fair & Rodeo, originally set for July 21-25.

The Coos County Youth Auction’s livestock auctions will still be held, with organizations drafting guidelines for modified shows that follow local and state health guidelines related to COVID-19. The board advised community members interested in updates regarding the 4-H projects to contact the Coos County OSU Extension office at 541-5725263.

“We want to thank each and every one of you as well as our sponsors that have shown excitement and support over the past years,” said Leep in a statement. “We look forward to rebuilding and growing in the 2021 year to have a great fair again.”

Redskins will review nickname WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Redskins began a “thorough review” of their name Friday, a significant step toward moving on from what experts and advocates call a “dictionary-defined racial slur.”

Even though owner Dan Snyder had shown no willingness to change the name since buying the team in 1999, the recent national conversation on race has renewed opposition to the name and prompted sponsors to speak up. With support from the NFL, it may finally lead to a new moniker for the long-struggling storied franchise with long-ago Super Bowl success.

“In the last few weeks, we have had ongoing discussions with Dan, and we are supportive of this important step,” Commis-

Baseball cancels All-Star game

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodger Stadium’s 40-year wait to host the All-Star Game is going to last even longer.

The game scheduled for July 14 was canceled Friday because of the coronavirus pandemic, and Dodger Stadium was awarded the 2022 Midsummer Classic.

The 2021 game is set for Atlanta’s Truist Park, home to the Braves since 2017.

Because of the pandemic, opening day had already been delayed from March 26 to July 23 or 24.

“Once it became clear we were unable to hold this year’s All-Star festivities, we wanted to award the Dodgers with the next available All-Star Game, which is 2022,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

No date for the 2022 game has been announced, although Dodgers President Stan Kasten said it would take place in the third week of July.

This year will be the first time since 1945 that no game is held. Travel restrictions because of World War II kept the game scheduled for Boston’s Fenway Park and any player selections from taking place that year. It was pushed back to the next season.

The Dodgers hosted the only the Midsummer Classic in Dodger Stadium history in 1980, won 4-2 by the National League.

sioner Roger Goodell said.

In a statement, the team said recent events around the U.S. and feedback from the community prompted the formal review.

“This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field,” Snyder said.

Native American advocacy groups have tried for decades to force a change, and a peer-reviewed UC Berkeley study released earlier this year revealed 67% of those surveyed who strongly identify as Native agreed or strongly agreed the name was offensive. The death of

George Floyd in Minnesota and other examples of police brutality against Black people in the U.S. sparked protests worldwide and changes to various brands considered racially insensitive.

Asked last month about the name, a spokesman said the team had no comment. But this week marked a possible sea change on the issue with investors writing to FedEx, PepsiCo and other sponsors hoping they would influence change.

FedEx was the first to act publicly. The title sponsor of the team’s stadium in Landover, Maryland, FedEx said Thursday, “We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.” FedEx paid $205 million in 1999 for the naming

rights to the stadium.

On Thursday night, Nike appeared to remove all Redskins gear from its online store. Nike said Friday it has shared its concerns with the NFL over the name and is “pleased to see the team taking a first step towards change.”

PepsiCo, a sponsor since 2017, expressed a similar sentiment and said, “We believe it is time for a change.” Sponsor Bank of America said it has “encouraged the team to change the name” and welcomed the organization’s review.

Coach Ron Rivera, who said in a recent radio interview now is not the time to discuss the name, called it “an issue of personal importance.” Rivera, who is of Mexican and Puerto Rican

descent and is the only Hispanic head coach currently in the NFL, added he’d work closely with Snyder during the process.

“There is no reason not to immediately announce that the team is changing the mascot, since any real review will lead to the inevitable conclusion that the deeply offensive and racist name of Washington’s NFL team must go now,” said Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter, leader of the “Change the Mascot” campaign. “Dan Snyder can stand on the right side of history and create a new, positive legacy for his team, or instead continue embracing a bigoted slur that denigrates Native Americans and people of color.”

NBA break allowed injured OSAA Executive Board Portland players time to heal again discusses pandemic TIM REYNOLDS

Associated Press

Portland guard Damian Lillard was in the gym a few days ago and took notice of what injured Trail Blazers big men Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins were doing during their individual workouts.

That’s when he realized a bright side of the NBA’s coronavirus shutdown.

The injured guys weren’t injured anymore.

Plenty of aches and pains around the NBA have healed in the almostfour-month span since the league had to suspend its season because of the pandemic, which means the 22 teams that will be arriving at the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida next week should be coming in with mostly healthy rosters.

Keeping players healthy once they get to Disney will be another challenge, as workloads ramp up quickly for the July 30 resumption of games — but, at least at the start of camps for the resumed season, rosters will be deeper than they were when the league shut down on March 11.

“I hate to even use that term, like a ‘silver lining’ came out of this because this is something that nobody ever predicted,” Miami coach Erik Spoel-

stra said. “And it’s hard to say good things came from it.”

Fact is, though, some good things have emerged on the injury fronts.

After 60 or 65 games, most players were likely dealing with some sort of aches-and-pains issue anyway.

Miami’s Meyers Leonard was in a race against time just to get back for what would have been the April start of the playoffs after a horrifically bad sprained ankle, and Heat rookie Tyler Herro had been out with another ankle issue. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo was dealing with a slight knee sprain when the season was suspended. Dallas’ Kristaps Porzingis was getting some occasional maintenance days for his surgically repaired knee.

“The knee was feeling great the whole time. It was just a matter of me getting back into a rhythm, getting that skill for the game again, that touch around the rim and little things like that,” Porzingis said. “I feel like now with the extra time that we had to put in the individual work and get a lot of shots up and keep working on my game, I feel really comfortable on the court. I’ll be really back into my rhythm and into the feel of the game.

I’m just ready. I’m ready to be back on the court.”

The Oregon School Activities Association Executive Board met this week to discuss the latest updates on the Coronavirus pandemic and made one clear decision: The use of football protective equipment this summer will not be allowed.

Many teams have participated in summer team camps using full pads in the past, but that won’t be allowed this year.

Instead, the Executive Board said the use of protective equipment won’t be allowed until official practices begin this fall.

The OSAA calendar calls for official practice for all fall sports to start Aug. 17, though that date is subject to change based on directives from the state.

One idea that has been floated around the state is swapping fall and spring sports for the coming school year, mainly because football is a contact sport and there is no indication when close contact might be allowable again given the current pandemic.

The idea of swapping the seasons has been discussed by the OSAA’s contingency groups and the Executive Board, but the board is not interested in pursuing the concept at the current time, Executive Director Peter Weber said in his summary of this week’s meeting.

Also included in the summary was a discussion on whether face coverings are required during indoor team practices. Weber said that, according to the Statewide Mask, Face Shield, Face Covering guidance, they

are not required when someone is engaged in an activity that makes them not feasible, such as strenuous physical activity, as long as six feet of distancing is maintained.

Coaches and those not involved in strenuous physical activity should wear face coverings.

Schools also must continue to monitor athletes for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 prior to workouts. If an athlete or coach has a fever or other symptoms of COVID-19, they must be sent home and it is strongly recommended that they be tested for COVID-19 before returning to workouts, Weber said.

Any athlete testing positive for COVID-19 must not return to physical activity for at least two weeks after symptoms have resolved and must be cleared for participation by their primary care provider.

In the event that multiple athletes participating in workouts develop COVID-19, the OSAA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee highly recommends workouts in the activity be suspended for at least two weeks and that the school consults with the local health department to discuss timing and procedures before reinitiating workouts.

The Executive Board remains committed to a fall sports season, provided it can be done safely in accordance with guidance from OSAA’s state educational and medical partners.

The Executive Board meets again virtually July 20-22 for its annual summer workshop.

Fewer preseason games will be challenge for NFL coaches ROB MAADDI

Associated Press

Fewer preseason games following an offseason without on-field workouts creates more challenges for new coaches, players who changed teams and rookies.

The NFL is cutting the exhibition schedule in half and pushing back the start of the preseason to allow teams more time to train because the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of organized team activities and minicamps.

An official announcement on the exact length of preseason still hasn’t been made. Players are strongly considering asking for even fewer exhibition games.

“Be ready for 1 or 0 preseason games. Won’t be 2,” Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

Teams were forced to conduct their entire offseason programs via videoconference so the league’s five new head coaches haven’t had an opportunity to see how players will adapt to their system on the field.

Collins hadn’t played since Oct. 27 because of

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise State is discontinuing its baseball program just months after the school was forced to cut short its first season in 40 years with only a handful of games played.

The school has also cut women’s swimming and diving because of budget issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On a video conference Thursday, athletic director Curt Apsey said cutting the two programs will save about $2.2 million to $2.3 million. The decision to cut baseball should also save the university long-term since it was in the process of trying to build an on-campus baseball stadium.

“We’re probably not even done trying to save money and finding different ways to create revenue because that darn future is just so unclear.

Who knows what the fall is going to look like, not just from an athletic perspective but enrollment on campus and state support and those kinds of things,” Apsey said.

“We were very fortunate to be able to get to that number, but I still think

we need to find ways to save as much as we can, and generate different kinds of revenue going forward not knowing what the future is.”

The baseball program had recently been reinstated. The school announced in 2017 that it was adding baseball after it had been discontinued following the 1980 season. The team was playing for the first time this year but the Broncos managed only 14 games before the season was canceled.

Apsey said the conversation with baseball coach Gary Van Tol was especially difficult after he was hired in late 2017 to build the program from scratch.

“I’ve just seen the work that’s been put in by him, especially, and then his staff and his student-athletes so it was, it was a really tough conversation,” Apsey said.

Women’s swimming and diving had been offered at Boise State since the 2006-07 school year.

North Bend graduates Denise Green and Rachel Heaney swam for the Broncos.

“You used to be able to have 60 days to get the job done, and everybody in our league will probably have more like 30 days, so I’m really focusing on maximizing the time and the meeting time and the most important things we need to get done when we get back together,” new Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said in late May about having to do a virtual offseason. “Having the unknown out there causes more work on the preparation side.”

At least McCarthy and new Washington Redskins coach Ron Rivera have been in charge before. Joe Judge (New York Giants), Kevin Stefanksi (Cleveland) and Matt Rhule (Carolina) are first-time head coaches in the NFL. “I haven’t seen (the players) run and I don’t know what condition they’re in,” Rhule said.

“But that is why you build a roster full of guys that you can trust so that you know they are out there working hard on their own and staying in shape so that when we do come together, hopefully all of the

teaching that we’ve done can come together with the physical part.”

The Panthers are among several teams with new quarterbacks who didn’t get a chance to work with new teammates in organized practice sessions.

Some, like Tampa’s Tom Brady, held their own throwing sessions even after the union’s medical director advised players not to practice in groups.

Late-round draft picks and rookie free agents will be affected most by fewer preseason games because they see most of the action in those games, especially the final one. Higher picks will have a tough time making an immediate contribution because they’ll have fewer reps to show off their skills.

“I think 32 teams are probably sitting here going, ‘Wow, I wish we had OTAs, I wish we had a chance to evaluate some of our draft picks and some of our free agents, new to the team,’” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said last month. “I don’t want to call it a setback, but at the same time we do have

some young players that played for us last year that are going to have to take a big step forward. ... And these guys have to understand that there’s a little bit of a sense of urgency once we get into training camp.

Things are going to move fast and we, as coaches, need to evaluate these players. I have to put them in position to be successful to show what they can do and that’s everything that we are in the process of doing right now leading up to camp.”

Many starters don’t play a lot of snaps in the preseason anymore. That’s one reason why the length of the exhibition schedule was shortened to three games when the regular season goes to 17 games in 2021 as part of the new collective bargaining agreement.

It’ll be easier for coaches to map out their plans with fewer preseason games in a normal offseason environment when they’ll have actual practices on the field instead of everything held virtually.

For 2020, everything is unique.

a left shoulder dislocation that required surgery.

Nurkic hasn’t played since March 25, 2019 because of a gruesome injury — fractures to his tibia and fibula in the left leg. And

now the Blazers, who will be fighting to make the Western Conference playoffs, will have a pair of 7-footers back at Disney to bolster those postseason hopes.

“They look great,” Lillard said of Nurkic and Collins. “They make me feel way more confident going in, both of them. Like I forgot ... I didn’t forget, but I forgot who they were. It’s been so long that I almost forgot.”

Nurkic is looking forward to reminding everyone what he was.

“I’m healthy as possible,” Nurkic said.

While it’s true that players would have pre-

ferred to be in rhythm and not have had this much time off, there are plenty who have raved about the benefit of unplanned rest.

Boston’s Gordon Hayward said he was able to give his left foot — which still gets sore from time to time, a residual effect of his awful left ankle fracture in 2017 — a bit of a break, and Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis said the time off left him feeling completely refreshed.

With games coming about every other day at Disney, that time off now is a valuable commodity.

“It’s been good,” Davis said. “It’s given me a chance to let my body recover, kind of take a midseason break now and just let everything heal and get back to like how I was beginning of the year ... to get back to the best version of myself. I feel 100% healthy. I don’t feel — I am. I’m ready. Ready to go.”

All-Stars

into this year, not the least of which is this huge, fantastic renovation,” Kasten said on a video conference call.

The Dodgers have installed a sign above the visitors’ bullpen in right field noting the All-Star game. It arrived without a date, making it viable to use for the upcoming 60game regular season.

“It will be a constant reminder that Los Angeles is getting a game,” Kasten said, adding that money pledged by MLB and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation for community projects around the game will be spent this year.

People who purchased tickets for this year’s game will be offered an incentive to let the team hang on to their money until 2022, Kasten said. Refunds will also be offered beginning Monday.

The coronavirus slowed construction at the stadium. In mid-April, retired Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully narrated a brief video of the project.

Scully, now 92, announced the 1959 AllStar game hosted by the Dodgers at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (the second such game played that year). He joined Mel Allen on the call for NBC on Aug. 3.

It was the first Midsummer Classic to be played on the West Coast, and also one of only two games to be played outside the month of July. The other was in 1981, when it was held on Aug. 9 because of

the players’ strike.

The Dodgers also hosted the game at Ebbets Field in 1949 before they moved to the West Coast from Brooklyn.

The Dodgers have produced four different All-Star Game MVPs: Maury Wills in 1962; Steve Garvey in 1974 and ’78; Don Sutton in 1977; and Mike Piazza in 1996.

From the 87-year-old Wills to the 51-year-old Piazza, all are still living and may have played a part in this year’s festivities.

Scully would surely have made an appearance, either in person or via video, where he has turned up several times since retiring in 2016. He and Brent Musburger worked the 1980 game in LA for CBS radio.

The Dodgers had been planning to host the 91st All-Star Game since being chosen in 2018. They sent teams of planners to Washington, D.C., in 2018 and Cleveland last year to study what did and didn’t work for those host cities.

Besides the Futures Game, Home Run Derby and All-Star Game over three days at the stadium, there would have been a Fan Fest and other events and commercial tie-ins around the game.

In February 2018, the Los Angeles City Council estimated an economic impact of $89.4 million from hosting the game.

The Dodgers had committed to paying $100,000 for city services needed as part of the game.

Redskins

The team in late June removed racist founder George Preston Marshall from its Ring of Fame.

A monument of Marshall was also removed from the RFK Stadium site.

Marshall’s granddaughter supported those moves and recently told The Associated Press she’s fine with the team changing its name.

“I think if anybody’s offended that they should change the name,” Wright said. “I’ve always felt that way.”

The stadium — third-oldest in baseball behind Fenway and Chicago’s Wrigley Field — is the only park in the majors not to have increased its 56,000-seat capacity since it opened in 1962.

That’s not to say it hasn’t changed, however.

Since 2013, the stadium that overlooks downtown Los Angeles has undergone a series of structural and behind-the-scenes improvements, including two entrance plazas on the field level, tiered seating and bar areas overlooking both bullpens. The ballpark has also gotten new HD video screens and sound systems, wider concourses and renovated restrooms, kids play areas, displays to honor the franchise’s storied history, new home and visiting clubhouses and batting cages.

And that doesn’t include the $100 million in renovations that helped the Dodgers land the 2020 game.

Those feature two acres of food and entertainment offerings in a new center field plaza and spruced-up outfield pavilions. Also added were elevators, escalators and bridges to improve circulation around the ballpark without changing its picturesque look and feel. The speaker tower sound system in center field is being replaced.

New so-called “home run seats” are being added in front of existing outfield seats.

NASCAR, IndyCar meet for big weekend at famed Indy speedway IndyCars will race on Saturday and NASCAR’s top series races Sunday as two series meet at same venue for first time INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The once-frosty schism between the two biggest racing series in the United States has finally thawed and the result is a blockbuster event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway — even without fans.

NASCAR’s elite Cup Series will share a venue with IndyCar on the same weekend for the first time, a doubleheader conveniently forced by the frantic rescheduling required by by the coronavirus pandemic. Even so, it is an important step in putting forth a united front for the sake of motorsports.

“We’re all racers. We want racing to be successful,” said Kevin Harvick, the current NASCAR points leader and a winner at the Brickyard last year. “I know it’s kind of had that stigma for a number of years there’s the IndyCar guys and there’s the NASCAR guys ... racers are racers. Everybody wants to see a good race and be part of a cool event.”

The fracture between the two leagues dates to at least 1954 when NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. was allegedly told by IMS security he’d been ordered to leave the speedway. France was already working on his own big race track, Daytona International Speedway, and he vowed it would give Indianapolis a run for its money.

The battle was on and neither side had any desire to build a working relationship. IndyCar, called CART in its heyday, dwarfed the Southern-based stock car series. But the open wheel racing split the mid 1990s in which Tony George created his own series gave NASCAR an opening to capitalize as CART and the Indy Racing League fractured its

base. NASCAR exploded in popularity and blew past its bitter rival as the place to race.

As years passed and NASCAR became an annual staple at Indinapolis, the relationship between the two series has improved. Jay Frye, who spent decades working in NASCAR, is now president of IndyCar. Steve Phelps, just the fifth president in NASCAR history, has never held a longstanding vendetta against the series.

Most important, though, is that motorsports titan Roger Penske now owns IndyCar and the speedway and has the juice to broker such a weekend. When the coronavirus pandemic blew holes in both series’ schedules, Penske plopped the IndyCar road course race originally scheduled for May on the shared weekend with NASCAR. IndyCar will open the spectacle on Saturday with its second event of the season, then NASCAR’s second-tier Xfinity Series will make its debut later that day on the same road course. The Cup Series races Sunday on the 2.5-mile oval. COVID-19 restrictions mean IndyCar and NASCAR teams and drivers will not mingle, use different entry points at the speedway and work from different garages.

The inability to open the gates to spectators is the one downside to what is an otherwise monumental moment for both series.

“To me, that’s the unfortunate part, we don’t get to have fans in here,” Penske said. “But I went to Jim France and Steve Phelps and said, ‘Look, the Brickyard has not been able to be what you have hoped, and now that we run the series and the speedway, we can make the decisions and we can get this done and it will be good for everyone.’”

This new pairing could ultimately smooth the road ahead for an entire industry battling for attendance, television ratings and sponsorship.

NBC Sports is IndyCar’s broadcast partner and begins its portion of the

NASCAR season this weekend. Sam Flood, executive producer and president of production, has tried to move away from head-to-head scheduling that forced viewers to choose which race to watch.

“We think it’s a really important crossover to have people watch racing ... to get people to sample different series, and you shouldn’t just be a NASCAR fan, you should be a racing fan,” Flood said. “I think this is a great celebration of motorsports. The interest in motorsports is high. We just need people to watch each other’s forms of racing and grow the overall pool of racing fans.

“And that’s why this is so valuable, and that’s why we’re so lucky Roger stepped in here.”

There are no drivers scheduled to compete in both series, but NBC Sports analyst Townsend Bell will call the IndyCar race and then fly to Daytona to race in the IMSA sports car event. Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson plans to drive five-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon’s car in a test on the road course next week.

Both IndyCar and the Cup Series will work from the garages once used by Formula One, and the NASCAR group can’t even enter the facility until IndyCar has cleared out. It means drivers can’t socialize the way initially imagined on a weekend such as this, and they’ll have to watch the other series’ on television.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the race. I wish I could have.

It’s the situation we’re in,” said Simon Pagenaud, winner of both the road course race and the Indianapolis 500 last year. He indicated IndyCar will be exiting the speedway grounds before the Xfinity Series goes green.

“At the end of the day, it’s a historical moment, I think not just for American racing but for worldwide racing. I look forward to the weekend and seeing the reaction afterward.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson has tested positive for the coronavirus and will miss this weekend’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, The 44-year-old Johnson is the first driver in any NASCAR series to test positive and the news Friday evening cast a shadow over the historic NASCAR-IndyCar doubleheader races coming up Saturday and Sunday. There was no indication any races would be affected.

Hendrick Motorsports said Johnson will not return until he is cleared by a physician. He was tested earlier Friday after his wife, Chani, tested positive after experiencing allergy-like symptoms.

Johnson is asymptomatic.

“My first priority is the health and safety of my loved ones and my teammates,” Johnson said. “I’ve never missed a race in my Cup career, but I know it’s going to be very hard to watch from the sidelines when I’m supposed to be out there competing.

Although this situation is extremely disappointing, I’m going to come back ready to win races and put ourselves in playoff contention.”

Johnson earlier Friday held a Zoom session with reporters to discuss Sunday’s race and an upcoming test of an Indy car on the road course at the fabled venue. He will now miss that test, as well as what was supposed to be his final Brickyard 400. Justin Allgaier will replace him in the No. 48 Chevrolet.

“Jimmie has handled this situation like the champion he is,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “We’re relieved he isn’t showing symptoms and that Chani is doing great, and we know he’ll be back and ready to go very soon. It’s going to be difficult for him to be out of the car and away from his team, but it’s the right thing to do for Jimmie and everyone involved.”

Hendrick Motorsports said it has implemented detailed procedures to protect the health of its team members. They include daily COVID-19 screenings at the team facilities; the separation of facility operations and traveling personnel; split work schedules; stringent face covering and social distancing requirements; and an increased level of disinfecting and sanitization of all work areas.

Johnson is scheduled to retire from full-time NA-

SCAR competition at the end of the season and was trying to tie Jeff Gordon and Michael Schumacher as the only five-time winners at Indianapolis.

Johnson has made 663 conscutive Cup Series starts — the longest streak among active drivers — and is currently 12th in the standings, 63 points inside the playoff picture.

NASCAR’s rules state a driver must be symptom free and have two negative coronavirus tests in a 24hour span to return.

NASCAR said it has granted Johnson a playoff waiver.

“Jimmie is a true battle-tested champion, and we wish him well in his recovery,” the series said.

Johnson could potentially also miss the Cup race at Kentucky and the All-Star race at Bristol. Next week’s test of the road course at Indy in Scott Dixon’s car has also been scrapped.

NASCAR was one of the first sports to resume competition from the pandemic shutdown and has completed 11 Cup races since its May 17 return.

The sanctioning body does not test for coronavirus but participants are required to do a temperature check as they enter the facility.

Drivers have been told to isolate at the track and there is very little interaction beyond radio conversation between the competitor and his crew.

Although Stewart-Haas Racing and Team Penske both said they’ve had positive tests from shop-based team members, Johnson is the first driver. Earlier Friday, Brazilian sports car driver Felipe Nasr said he had tested positive and will miss Saturday’s IMSA event at Daytona International Speedway.

Johnson earlier Friday discussed the Indy car test scheduled with Chip Ganassi Racing, which he said was the first step in determine if actual races are in his future. If he’s any good, he said, he would be open to racing all 12 street and road course events on the IndyCar schedule.

Johnson has long said safety concerns would keep him from racing on IndyCar oval tracks, but Friday he offered a surprisingly softer stance about the Indy 500.

IndyCar this year unveiled its aeroscreen windshield designed to protect the drivers from debris as they sit in the open-air cockpits. Saturday will mark just the second race with the device, but it appeared problem-free last month on the oval at high-speed Texas Motor Speedway.

Trump flouts virus guidelines at Rushmore MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL, S.D. (AP) — At the foot of Mount Rushmore on the eve of Independence Day, President Donald Trump made a direct appeal to disaffected white voters four months before Election Day, accusing protesters who have pushed for racial justice of engaging in a “merciless campaign to wipe out our history.”

The president dug further into American divisions Friday, offering a discordant tone to an electorate battered by a pandemic and wounded by racial injustice following the high-profile killings of Black people. He zeroed in on the desecration by some protesters of monuments and statues across the country that honor those who have benefited from slavery, including some past presidents.

“This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore,” Trump said. He lamented “cancel culture” and charged that some on the political left hope to “defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children.”

He said Americans should speak proudly of their heritage and shouldn’t have to apologize for its history.

“We will not be terrorized, we will not be demeaned, and we will not be intimidated by bad, evil people,” Trump added. “It will not happen.”

The speech and fireworks at Mount Rushmore came against the backdrop of a pandemic that has killed over 125,000 Americans. The president flew across the nation to gather a big crowd of supporters, most of them maskless and all of them flouting public health guidelines that recommend not gathering in large groups.

The discord was heightened as the Trump campaign confirmed during the president’s speech that Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for the campaign and the girlfriend of Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr., had tested positive for the coronavirus while in South Dakota. Both Guilfoyle and Trump Jr., who serves as a top surrogate for the president, are isolating themselves and have canceled public events, according to Sergio Gor, chief of staff to the Trump campaign’s finance committee.

During the speech, the president announced he was signing an executive order to establish the National Garden of Ameri-

can Heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the “greatest Americans to ever live.”

Amid the campaign headwinds, the president has sharpened his focus on his most ardent base of supporters as concern grows inside his campaign that his poll numbers in the battleground states that will decide the 2020 election are slipping.

Trump in recent weeks has increasingly lashed out at “leftwing mobs,” used a racist epithet to refer to the coronavirus and visited the nation’s southern border to spotlight progress on his 2016 campaign promise to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

The event, while not a campaign rally, had the feel of one as the friendly crowd greeted Trump with chants of “Four more years!” and cheered enthusiastically as he and first lady Melania Trump took the stage.

“They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive,” Trump said. “But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history and culture to be taken from them.”

Republican Gov. Kristi Noem echoed Trump’s attacks against

his opponents who “are trying to wipe away the lessons of history.”

“Make no mistake: This is being done deliberately to discredit America’s founding principles by discrediting the individuals who formed them,” she said.

The small town of Keystone, which lies a couple of miles from the monument, was buzzing with people Friday hoping to catch a glimpse of the fireworks and the president. Many wore pro-Trump T-shirts and hats. Few wore masks.

“This is going to rank up in the top Fourth of Julys that I talk about,” said Mike Stewhr, who brought his family from Nebraska.

Mike Harris of Rapid City, who said he was a Republican, wore a mask and waved an anti-Trump flag. He also was sporting a handgun on each hip. He said he was worried the event would spark a COVID-19 outbreak.

“I think it’s a bad example being set by our president and our governor,” Harris said.

Leaders of several Native American tribes in the region raised concerns that the event could lead to virus outbreaks among their members, who they

say are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 because of an underfunded health care system and chronic health conditions.

“The president is putting our tribal members at risk to stage a photo op at one of our most sacred sites,” said Harold Frazier, chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.

Some Native American groups used Trump’s visit to protest the Mount Rushmore memorial itself, pointing out that the Black Hills were taken from the Lakota people.

More than 100 protesters, many Lakota, lined the road leading from Keystone to the monument holding signs and playing Lakota music in 95-degree heat. Some held their fists in the air as cars loaded with event attendees passed by. Others held signs that read “Protect SoDak’s First People,” “You Are On Stolen Land” and “Dismantle White Supremacy.”

“The president needs to open his eyes. We’re people, too, and it was our land first,” said Hehakaho Waste, a spiritual elder with the Oglala Sioux tribe.

About 15 protesters were arrested after blocking a road and missing a police-imposed deadline to leave.

Jobs surge but jobless still high Governor blasts NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. economy just posted its best single-month job gain in history.

U.S. unemployment is at one of its worst points since the Great Depression.

Both are true.

As Republicans and Democrats fought to spin Thursday’s jobs numbers to their advantage, both sides face tremendous political risks in navigating a delicate and defining issue heading into the presidential campaign’s final months.

Democrats, led by presumptive nominee Joe Biden, seized on the growing threat presented by coronavirus after the better-than-expected numbers were released, a stance the Republicans called rooting against America’s recovery.

President Donald Trump claimed a major economic victory and played down the health threat, even as an explosion of new infections threatened to stall, or even reverse, the economic gains.

Deep uncertainty lies ahead, experts warn, despite two months of record job growth. And with only two more monthly jobs reports expected before the Nov. 3 election, the dueling visions of America’s economy establish a new frame for the high-stakes debate ahead.

“Today’s announcement proves that our economy is roaring back,” Trump exulted to reporters at the White House after the June

numbers were released. He later added, “The crisis is being handled.”

Two hours later, Biden offered a darker assessment.

“There’s no victory to be celebrated,” the former vice president said in a video recorded at his home in Delaware. “We’re still down nearly 15 million jobs and the pandemic is getting worse not better.”

“Today’s report is positive news and I’m thankful for it -- for real,” Biden continued. “But make no mistake, we’re still in a deep, deep job hole because Donald Trump has so badly bungled the response to coronavirus.”

Thursday’s data showed a surge of 4.8 million new jobs last month, a snapshot of the economy as of three weeks ago. The U.S. unemployment rate improved from 13.3% in May to 11.1% in June as many Americans thrown out of work by COVID-19 were called back.

But the jobs numbers were announced just as the nation’s confirmed coronavirus infections soared to an all-time daily high of 50,700, more than doubling over the past month, according to the count kept by Johns Hopkins University.

The spike, centered primarily in the South and West, has led states such as California, Texas, Arizona and Florida to re-close or otherwise clamp down again on bars, restaurants,

movie theaters, beaches and swimming pools, throwing some workers out of jobs for a second time. Those losses will show up in next month’s government unemployment report.

The Trump campaign believes that nothing matters more to the president’s reelection than the state of the economy. With many Americans reporting that the country is moving in the wrong direction under his leadership, he has a lot of work to do.

Still, the president’s strongest ratings center on the economy, as has been the case throughout his tenure. About half of Americans say they approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, according to a poll released last month from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Justin Wolfers, a professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan, said that Thursday’s numbers confirmed that the economy is in “slightly less” of a “dreadful economic hole.”

“You just look out the window and you know things are grim,” he said.

“The first, second and third most important things for the economy right now are the progress of the disease.”

Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, said the virus continues to pose a “major

potential threat” to the nation’s economic comeback, especially in light of new reports that hospital systems in some states are reaching capacity.

Given the uncertainty, Strain said he’s confused

by Trump’s apparent resistance to plans from both Republicans and Democrats to inject another round of major economic stimulus into what he called “a fragile economy.”

Trump highlighted his support for a Social Security tax cut on Thursday, but Vice President Mike Pence, in an interview with CNBC, reiterated the administration’s opposition to extending enhanced unemployment payments to out-of-work Americans when they expire at the end of July.

Biden, meanwhile, has yet to come out with a specific jobs plan, which his campaign said Thursday would be released in a matter of weeks. Jared Bernstein, a Biden economic adviser, encouraged Congress to adopt a new round of fiscal stimulus for unemployed Americans immediately.

Bernstein predicted the pace of economic growth would slow considerably in the coming months because of the Trump administration’s inability to contain the pandemic.

Trump has not employed a coordinated national response to the health threat, preferring instead to let state and local leaders adopt their own strategies.

troopers for not wearing mask SALEM (AP) — Oregon’s governor on Thursday denounced four state troopers who were seen on video without face masks in a coffee shop, saying such behavior was “inexcusable.”

Under an order from Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, people statewide are required to wear a face covering in indoor public spaces to slow the mounting spread of the coronavirus.

Many people have been complying but others have refused, saying the order infringes on their rights.

Oregon health officials on Thursday reported a record 375 new confirmed and presumptive coronavirus cases, an increase of nearly 100 over Wednesday. Officials predict the increases could reach 900 new cases a day in the state.

On Wednesday, the day Brown’s order took effect, an Oregon State Police trooper entered the coffee shop in Corvallis and directed an expletive at the governor as he rejected a request by assistant manager Travis Boss to wear a mask, Oregonian/ OregonLive reported.

The trooper said the mask mandate was a

violation of his civil liberties, Boss told the newspaper.

Within moments, three other state troopers entered Allan’s Coffee & Tea shop and also refused a request to wear a face covering, Boss said. Closed-circuit TV images show all four not wearing masks.

Oregon State Police spokesman Capt. Timothy Fox told The Associated Press that one of the four state troopers has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

The names of the troopers were not released.

Boss said he felt compelled to fulfill the troopers’ drink orders because they were in uniform, even though he said he had sent other patrons away for not wearing masks, Oregonian/OregonLive reported.

Brown said in a statement to AP that the behavior of the troopers was unacceptable.

“It is inexcusable that a few Oregon State Troopers disregarded my face covering requirement yesterday, and ignored a request from a fellow Oregonian to follow the rule,” Brown said. “No one is above the law.”

Serving Oregon’s South Coast Since 1878

East’s jump to three no-trump was imaginative. He hoped dummy had the club ace, and that he could collect one spade, six diamonds and two clubs. Here, three no-trump would have gone down two, but North was not willing to risk it.

West should have realized that his partner had a solid diamond suit, and if he had led a diamond, four spades would have had no chance. When he chose the club jack, South was still alive.

Declarer won with the club ace and cashed his three heart tricks, discarding a diamond from the dummy.

Then he played a trump to the queen. East won with his ace and did what?

East could see only three defensive tricks: one spade, one diamond and one club.

Clearly declarer would duck the second round of clubs to bring down the king.

In desperation, East cashed his club king, then led a low diamond!

South should have put up his jack, but without thinking, he played low.

West, after being told that he really had won the trick with his 10, returned a club, which East ruffed to defeat the contract.

Bandon Mercantile will close its doors AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — After 35 years, Bandon Mercantile Company’s owners Ed and Beth Wood will close the doors of its popular store later this summer.

The Woods plan to retire from the business they established in 1985 at the corner of U.S. Highway 101 and Elmira in Bandon. Bandon Mercantile is the only kitchen cookware and gadgets store from Brookings to Florence. The store also carries clothing and its pleasantly cluttered front porch features a colorful assortment of eclectic home decor and garden items.

Beth Wood said they purchased the building, which was built in 1910 and was originally a grocery store and at one time an antique store, from Bob and Caroline McKemy, who had bought and remodeled the building in the early 1980s. The three spaces in the building were rented out and used as a dress store and a model car store. The McKemys went on to establish and run The Wheelhouse Restaurant in Old Town, where Bob was the executive chef.

The building has been remodeled since the Woods purchased it and they eventually took over all three spaces of the approximately 3,000 square feet.

The Bandon Mercantile building is now in the process of being sold to local realtor Gina Morelli, who will be using it for her business, Beach Loop Realty.

“We got a good offer on the

Bandon Mercantile Company has been a favorite shop on the South Coast since 1985.

The store will close its doors later this summer. building, so we decided it’s time to retire,” Beth said.

The Woods moved to Bandon from Colorado, where they met.

Ed grew up and attended college in Colorado, while Beth grew up in New Jersey, then attended college in Colorado. After college, Beth went to work for friends who had a cookware store in Colorado Springs.

They moved to Bandon to be closer to Beth’s parents, Jack and Grace Turner, when their son Adam was 3 and a half years old.

“We wanted to live and raise our son here and our parents had retired here,” Beth said. “So we sold our house in Colorado Springs and took our savings to start this business. My parents knew everyone in town, so they helped us get started.”

Beth added that her parents’ car broke down in Bandon as

they were driving up the coast to decide where to move for retirement, serendipitously.

“We started visiting and fell in love with the town because it’s so easy to do,” Beth said.

Their son Adam, BHS Class of 1999, is now a golf pro at Highlands Golf Course in Seaside.

The Woods debated for a while on what to carry in Bandon Mercantile, which was also known as The Country Merchant for some time.

“We decided to carry things people need but can’t get anywhere else in town and hoped the tourists liked it too,” Beth said. “(That model) really did work.”

The Woods say much of the success of Bandon Mercantile is due to the community.

“The town has been so totally supportive, it’s just amazing,”

Ed and Beth Wood, owners of Bandon Mercantile.

Beth said.

The couple also owned Timeless Accents in the Clock Tower building on Second Street in Old Town from 2003 to 2015, featuring home decor. Ed ran the day-to-day operations of that business. The Sassy Seagull is now located there.

Bandon Mercantile’s largest emphasis has been on kitchen cookware and accessories, but the Woods added the upper clothing section of the store, which is also popular. About two-thirds of the store features kitchen cookware and gadgets, while one-third is clothing.

The popularity of the store, the Woods believe, is the quality of

the products they carry.

“And we’ve always tried to keep our prices as competitive and fair as anywhere else,” Beth said.

“We also offer free gift wrapping and we’re always willing to go out of our way to make sure our customers are happy. If a customer wants something we don’t carry, we try to find it for them.”

“And you can never have too many kitchen gadgets,” Wood added with a smile.

Their employees are also well known in the community and include Loretta Miller, Sue Van Amburg, Anne Goddard and longtime store manager Brian Capelle.

Every Child Coos County receives donations AMY MOSS STRONG The World BANDON — Bandon Rotary and the Bandon First Presbyterian Church are hoping to make a difference in a few local children’s lives. Rotary has donated $1,000 and Bandon First Presbyterian has donated $500 to help meet the needs of foster children and foster families in the Bandon area.

One of Bandon Rotary’s focus areas is children and the club has been raising money and donating funds to the Kids’ HOPE Center for a few years. This time, Rotary collaborated with Bandon First Presbyterian to help local foster families through Every Child Coos County. The two checks were recently presented to Melissa Hart, CEO of Every Child, and Salena Minkler, Bandon representative for Every Child.

“By our two groups pooling our financial contributions and our people, we hope to help foster families and children in Bandon,” said Mary Carol Roberson, who helped organize the effort. “This was a great kickoff of two groups working together to meet their needs and to make a lasting impact for kids in foster care. It’s a wonderful opportunity and we look forward to working together.”

Last year, nearly 400 children spent time in foster care in Coos County. Some 66% spent time

Many were split from their siblings.

“If a natural disaster hit our state and children were wandering the street without someone

to care for them, each of us would open our homes to help in the crisis,” said Melissa Hart, program manager for Every Child Coos County, a program of United Way of Southerwestern

Oregon. “With more than 130 children currently in foster care and more entering the system every day, we’re in the midst of a disaster in our county.”

Oregon’s Department of

Human Services works hard to care for children and families in crisis, but is often left with few resources for volunteer and foster parent recruitment efforts.

“If we don’t step in, many children will be left without the care, comfort and safety of a loving home during times of trauma, transition, and uncertainty,” Hart said. “We can do better for Coos County’s children. We know that our community wants to take action, but they just don’t know where to begin. Many of us feel helpless, doing nothing or never considering foster parenting.”

“Every Child Coos is so grateful for this new partnership with Bandon Rotary and Bandon First Presbyterian Church,” Hart added.

“These funds will be used to provide tangible support to families in Bandon who are caring for children in the foster care system.

We are thrilled to see the Bandon community showing up for those in their own community who need some extra love and support.”

Partnering with DHS and community organizations, Every Child works to solve Oregon’s foster care crisis through marketing, education, one-on-one connections and public and private initiatives. Every Child aims to provide love, care and support for vulnerable children and families in Coos County.

South Coast Striders will hike Eel Lake Trail on July 11 The World

REEDSPORT — Join the South Coast Striders for one of their favorite hikes at Eel Lake on Saturday, July 11.

Note: This hike requires advance registration. Visit coostrails.com for more information.

The experience can be appropriate for paddlers as

well as hikers.

There will be a 4-mile hike out and back along the Eel Lake Trail. This is a beautiful and fairly level trail which runs around the south edge of the lake for 3 miles.

The longer hike (6 miles total) will proceed at a brisker pace out to the end of the trail and back for those who want more of

a workout. Hikers can explore the lakes many inlets and maybe catch a glimpse of osprey, eagle and deer as they walk through forests of spruce, cedar, fir and alder.

Eel Lake is also a flat water paddle and has a swimming area.

Pack snacks for the trail and a lunch to eat in the picnic area after the hike.

Paddlers might consider coming early (7:30 a.m.) to paddle on the lake before the wind picks up.

If they time it right, they could get in a nice paddle and then go on the hike at 10 a.m.

Meet at the day use area at Tugman State Park at 10 a.m. Tugman State Park is located 18 miles north of Coos Bay on U.S. High-

way 101. Follow the signs to the day use area at Eel Lake.

New Hike Guidelines

1. Hike groups will be limited to 15 people.

2. You will be asked to complete a registration form so that we can control the number.

3. Hikers will be asked to maintain social distance

(as much as 10-12 feet) on the trail 4. Hikers will be asked to have face covering (like a bandana) that can be pulled up at tight spots on the trail 5. Hikers should step off the trail to let others pass NOTE: If you register and need to cancel, send an email to hikes@coostrails. com.

EMMERSEN COHN For Country Media

BROOKINGS —The two Brookings boating inspection station officials are Dave Padgett and Christine Jamsa.

Padgett is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in fisheries and wildlife at Oregon State University. He’s a permanent resident of Brookings, completing his college courses online.

Jamsa, who lives in Gold Beach, has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and also a master’s in business administration from the University of Phoenix.

Interestingly, neither has a background in line with their current duties.

Padgett lived in Idaho for 35 years, working in information technology, before looking for opportunities to work outdoors.

He previously worked as a park ranger at Harris Beach.

Jamsa was a military police officer stationed in California. She said she loves surfing, tide pools and whale watching, and wanted to help make a difference in her community.

Her experience as a law enforcement officer, she said, helps her calm people down. And she’s used to doing inspections such as the ones she conducts at the Brookings boating station.

To help locate any invasives, the inspectors run their hands below the waterline of the boat, feeling for them first. Still, these can be hard to detect

Christen Jamsa, left, and Dave Padgett, inspectors for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, check the bottom of boats for invasive species at the ODFW boat inspection station in Brookings on June 19. due to the texture of the vessel. What they find in most instances is only one or two shells, usually dead.

New Zealand and Japanese mud snails are a more prominent issue with kayaks, and not as prolific as mussels.

Trailers, motors, and every nook and cranny are thoroughly searched, sometimes with the use of a flashlight or even a mirror.

The inspectors said they mostly interact with privately owned family boats, drift boats and kayaks, primarily used for fishing and recreation.

More often than not, it’s the surfboarders, or the owners of otherwise non-motorized watercraft, who don’t realize they are

required to stop, they said.

“The vast majority are incredibly friendly and are usually repeat customers,” said Padgett. “A couple of grumpy people, but it’s five to seven minutes tops.”

One might think a job like this could get boring, but Jamsa said that wasn’t the case for her. The job gets slow, but she’s not easily bored. “It’s just another ‘military’ thing.

There’s always something to do.”

Despite their different backgrounds, both Padgett and Jamsa said they’re motivated to protect the environment and their community from the potential threat of invasive species. “[We] have a little display where they can look

at the (boat)piping and see how severe the clogging can become,” said Jamsa. “[They’re] usually totally compliant after being educated.

“Usually, people think they’re being checked for registration. We just had one guy say that he’s going to tell all his surfer friends about the stop.”

Although some boaters are annoyed by the inspections, Jamsa said, by the end they go off waving.

Before pandemic-caused social distancing became the norm, inspectors often had opportunities to talk with boat owners at their stations. Today, boaters and drivers are not allowed to get out of their vehicles.

The six feet of social distancing is enforced.

“We’ve always enjoyed doing it,” Beth said.

The Woods are holding a storewide clearance sale with

20% off and an additional 10% off sale items until inventory is gone, which may take a couple of months.

The store is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily and can be reached by calling 541-3474341. More information is available at www.BandonMercantile.com.

The couple plans to play

a lot of golf and do some traveling in retirement (when it’s safe to travel again).

“I just can’t stress enough how wonderful this town has been to us,” Beth said. “I’ve always felt it was one big family and the support we’ve had over the years has been wonderful.”

Often you have heard me say that the Chamber’s strength comes from utilizing the vast collective experiences and energy of our diverse membership of over 530 businesses.

So how do we do that?

In many ways, it’s through their participation on one of our teams. Let me re-introduce you to those opportunities.

Ambassadors: are the

red-coated welcoming team that greets dignitaries, cuts ribbons at grand openings and hosts Business after Hours each month.

Natural Resources:

helps to educate the public on timber and fishing issues and other natural resource opportunities which affect our coastal community and economy.

Legislative Action Team: serves as an

advocate for Chamber members and the business community in local and state issues impacting quality of life, growth and business viability.

TIMM SLATER Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

Business Development & Support: works for a

positive business climate which promotes retention, expansion and recruitment activities throughout Oregon’s Bay Area.

Leadership Coos: a

tuition-based program that gives an in-depth introduction to all aspects of our community, one day per month, from September to May each year, while encouraging personal investment of time and effort into making a difference.

Chamber members can be part of any of these teams. In fact that is the only way we are successful. So give us a call and we will set you up. Oh, there are even a few more hard-working groups to introduce you to, but, since I’m out of space, that will have to wait for another day.

Remember our Business is Helping your Business. And like us on Facebook.

(Timm Slater is executive director of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. For more information on your Chamber, email timmslater@ oregonsbayarea.org.)

Pets of the Week Kohl’s Cat House Thanks for helping the kritters! Hope all is well with you and that you are staying as safe as you can.

The cat house is NOT taking in any cats as they are full. Those interested in adopting a cat, please call and arrangements can be made for a visit, but no walk-up visitors.

The following are cats of the week available for adoption at Kohl’s Cat House: Roo is an adult spayed female. She is very beautiful gitl. She is also very sweet and shy at first. She is an older girl and would do great with a loving family of her own.

Birdie is an adult spayed female. She has a

little attitude and prefers to make the rules herself. She has lots of love to give.

All of these wonderful babies need time to get used to new surroundings when they are adopted.

Patience will be the best thing they can be given — patience to settle in and get used to new surroundings before cozying up to their new human companion.

This cannot be stressed enough. Only time will tell if they will fit into their new situation when they are adopted. It really is no different for human kids.

Patience goes such a long way to benefit all involved!

Call the cat house to set up a meeting at 541-2943876 or 541-260-5303.

Some South Coast State Parks remain closed The World A few popular South Coast state parks remain closed either completely or to camping, the Oregon State Parks Department announced recently.

Cape Blanco State Park north of Port Orford remains closed for all activity, inluding camping and hiking. The State Parks

website lists the closure as temporary, with no end date listed.

The Arizona Beach State Park group camp south of Humbug Mountain will remain closed through at least Labor Day, though the day use area of the park is open with limited services.

The entire Alfred A. Loeb State Park east

of Brookings and the campground at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park near Reedsport will remain closed through at least Sept. 30, though Umpqua Lighthouse State Park is open for hiking or fishing at Lake Marie.

The campgrounds at two other coastal parks also remain closed — Carl G. Washburne Memorial State

Park Campground north of Florence and Devils Lake State Park Campground near Lincoln City.

The day-use area for both of those parks, including beach access at each and the trails system at Carl G. Washburne, remain open with limited services.

Beachside State Recreation City north of Yachats will remain closed until at

least July 31.

Because of a big drop in funding, services will remain limited at a number of state parks.

When it became clear funding was going to be reduced, state parks officials froze hiring, made a decision to only fill 77 of 415 seasonal staff positions and to lay off 47 other positions by June 30,

according to a release on the State Parks website.

That means fewer restrooms will be open in some parks, showers will be closed in many campgrounds, there will be reduced trash collecting and landscape maintenance and there will be no walk-in or first-come, first-served campers at coastal state parks.

Work scarce for Bay Area youths out of school

Sent out as part of Buyers’ Week observance but will be practical test

With part of the summer past, approximately 400 Bay Area youths are still searching for summer jobs. But they “just aren’t available,” according to Carroll Cone, youth employment supervisor for the Coos Bay office of the Oregon Employment Division.

With the exception of one needed gas station attendant, there are no job openings on file at the Coos Bay office. Young people check in every day, Cone said, asking for any type job, with no preference for specific work.

“We just have to keep telling them that we have their applications on file and that we’ll call them if something comes up,” said Bob Peterson, one of the four youth counselors who solicit jobs daily from potential employers by telephone and in person. Peterson reported that one job opening is usually secured from 30 telephone calls, “a pretty discouraging ratio.”

PORTLAND, Ore., July 1 — The first organized attempt to use aeroplanes in Oregon for the distribution of mail will be inaugurated this week, beginning Saturday, July 3, when a fleet of airplanes will leave Portland carrying huge bundles of invitations to the merchants of the state to participate in Buyers’ Week, August 9th to 14th inclusive.

The aviators of the Oregon, Washington & Idaho Aeroplane company will fly to various cities in the state with packages of mail for delivery to the postmasters of the cities, who will see to it that the letters addressed to the merchants of their section receive prompt delivery.

Eastside Bridge is reported on County Judge Wade gives his opinion on question

20 YEARS — 2000

Says if the Coos River Road is built that the bridge across bay would be warranted

Missing

Some time ago Mrs. George Dindinger wrote to County Judge Wade regarding the need of a bridge to Eastside from Marshfield and stating that the ferry was inadequate. Judge Wade seems to think that traffic right now does not warrant a bridge but that it would if the road up Coos River is built. He had written a letter to Mrs. Dindinger which gives his views on the subject.

Officials of the company could not be found this afternoon to verify the report but it is said to be true.

Some of the property was bought from the Simpson interests. It is said that the plant will be a large one.

50 YEARS — 1970 Tightened dog ordinance enforcement continues for Coos Bay, North Bend City Judge Robert Walberg has placed 15 dogs and their Coos Bay owners on probation for one year for violations of the Coos Bay dog ordinance — all 15 this week.

Enforcement of dog ordinances in the Bay Area is being rigidly carried out by County officer Lawrence Dorland and an assistant, according to Coos Bay Police Chief Rollie Pean.

In North Bend, six citations were issued in one day and two others have been issued at other times. Some cited dog owners have posted the $10 bail North Bend requires. Trials are pending on two who have pleaded not guilty in city court.

One is scheduled to appear next month.

The fine in Coos Bay is $25 on any dog ordinance violation, and this is the amount which is paid to the police department if bail is forfeited.

PP&L selected Coos site for possible nuclear plant Pacific Power & Light company said Wednesday it has acquired a sizeable tract of land on the coast in Southern Coos County for possible use as a site for nuclear power steam electric generating plant.

The tract is located in the Whiskey Run vicinity 18 miles south of Coos Bay and encompasses approximately 820 acres with about 2 miles of frontage on the ocean.

Jack Dunham, Pacific Power & Light Co. District Manager for the Coos Bay area, emphasized the company has no immediate plans for using the property and that any use for a nuclear plant site would be subject to review and approval by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Oregon Nuclear Plant Siting Task Force and other agencies having jurisdiction.

Friends last saw Leah Freeman at about 9:30 p.m. as she walked north on Central Boulevard toward her home at 1173 Knott St., Chief Michael Reeves said Friday.

The girl left a friend’s house on Elm Street and was believed to have walked along Fourth Street to Central Boulevard.

Editor’s Note: The disappearance of Leah Freeman was covered in the newspaper every day in the days following this story.

Drop in canary rockfish poses more trouble

By Susan Chambers Staff Writer One of the West Coast’s popular fishes — canary rockfish — could restrict several fisheries in the coming years.

Canary rockfish, one of several bright reddish fish commonly referred to as red snapper, was listed by the National Marine Fisheries Service as overfished in January. A formal listing requires that the Pacific Fishery Management Council restrict harvest on the fish and generate a rebuilding plan.

A new report presented to the Council in Portland on Thursday showed it could take more than 50 years to bring canaries back to a level that could sustain harvesting similar to recent levels. Currently, the available harvest is 200 tons coastwide in Washington, Oregon and California. It will likely be less next year.

These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.
