Honoring Alonzo Tucker Increased conversations about honoring man who was lynched in 1902 ZACH SILVA The World

COOS BAY — In the wake of national protests of the deaths George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, who were both killed at the hands of the police, there has been a heightened level of unrest across the country. These protests, also seen in Coos Bay last weekend, have been an effort to bring about justice in addition to fighting against

systems of oppression that have been woven into the fabric of the country. One action that is being taken in Coos Bay is a renewed interest in memorializing Alonzo Tucker, a black man who was lynched in 1902 in what was then Marshfield. The lynching of Tucker is, according to the Equal Justice Initiative, the only documented lynching to have taken place in Oregon. “Everyone says, ‘Oh Coos Bay, it’s known for its beautiful coast.’ No it’s not, not in the black community. It is known for being the only city in Oregon that lynched a man,” said Jay Brown, a leader at last Sunday’s

protest in Coos Bay that drew over 300 people. “That is what it’s known for, the only documented lynching. This is so important so don’t sit here and tell me your town is not racist: yes it is. You’re the only documented lynching, how are you not racist?” Brown is calling for a statue honoring Tucker to go up sometime in the next year. A petition urging support for this issue is set to be released soon. At an event earlier this year remembering Tucker the City of Coos Bay said it would pay for a plaque to act as a historical marker. Please see Tucker, Page A8

DA asks witnesses of gun Supreme Court sides with incident to step forward governor on virus restrictions The World COOS BAY — Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier is asking anyone who witnessed an incident at the Black Lives Matter rally in Coos Bay on Saturday, June 6, to come forward to be interviewed. In a press release Friday afternoon, Frasier said he received police reports prepared by the Coos Bay Police Department on Thursday, June 11, regarding the incident involving Brandon Moore, 36, of Coos Bay. Moore was arrested after allegedly pointing a handgun at Black

Lives Matter demonstrators on Saturday afternoon along Broadway (U.S. Highway 101) in downtown Coos Bay. According to a press release from Frasier’s office on Monday morning, Moore was transported to Coos County Jail on Saturday and was released on his own recognizance. He was set to appear in court on Monday. Frasier called for a thorough investigation of the incident. At that time, Frasier said in a press release that he had not yet received the police reports.

SALEM (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday upheld Gov. Kate Brown’s shutdown orders aimed at stemming the coronavirus pandemic and she prohibited county officials from loosening restrictions for at least a week amid a spike in virus cases. The Supreme Court overturned a ruling by a judge in a conservative, rural part of the state who had determined that Brown’s restriction of activities during the coronavirus pandemic was “null and void” because it was subjected to a time limit. But the high court said Brown’s powers under the state

of emergency she declared March 8 continue until it is ended by her or the Legislature. The Oregon Health Authority reported 178 new confirmed coronavirus cases Thursday, marking the highest daily count in the state since the start of the pandemic. On Friday, another 142 new cases were reported. Brown late Thursday put a week-long hold on authorizing counties to lift restrictions. The new order immediately affects Multnomah County, the state’s most populous that includes Portland.

COOS BAY — A patient at Bay Area Hospital, who had not been exposed to or had many symptoms related to COVID-19, surprised healthcare officials earlier this month when she unexpectedly tested positive for the new coronavirus. Taken aback by the result, healthcare providers at BAH ordered another test, which was evaluated using the hospital’s newly-acquired Abbott ID NOW testing machine, a rapid, molecular point-of-care test that detects COVID-19 in about 13 minutes or less. Doctors questioned the accuracy of the initial positive result, which was also evaluated on the rapid testing machine, as they reviewed the patient’s condition. She had not been exposed to any other known coronavirus cases and had only one symptom consistent with COVID-19, which was a fever. Kelli Dion, a public information officer at BAH, said the result for the second test, which was returned within about an hour of the first test, came back negative. In an effort to confirm the negative result, Dion said a third test was ordered and sent to the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory which has testing equipment with higher sensitivity rates to detect positive cases than the Abbott rapid testing machine. According to Dion, the timeframe for receiving results from the state lab is a bit longer as the facility is located outside of the county. Last Friday, BAH announced in press release that the patient was indeed negative for COVID-19 as confirmed by the state lab. The accuracy of tests are typically measured through its sensitivity and specificity rates as ways to identify whether a patient is positive or negative, said Dion. At BAH, the Abbott rapid testing machine has a sensitivity of about 60% to 70% depending on how the sample is gathered, said Dion. The specificity rate of the machine, which determines how accurate a test identifies negative cases, also impacted a patient’s results.

Fire department to give away sanitizer AMANDA LINARES The World

NORTH BEND — After receiving more than 2,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, the North Bend Fire Department is looking to hand out the bottles to fellow first-responders, essential workers, businesses and community members in need. North Bend Fire Chief Jim Brown said the department received the generous donation this month from Reach Out WorldWide and Lowe’s to be distributed out to the community as they see fit. Amazed that such a large organization such as ROWW would select them to receive this donation, Brown said he feels lucky that the department was given this opportunity.

“We feel really lucky to be able to be the ones to distribute it for our community,” said Brown. “It’s a way that we can be involved to do our part as well to be able to help out.” Over the weekend, firefighters will continue handing out a number of cases of hand sanitizer to several of the department’s community partners, essential workers and businesses in need. According to Brown, ROWW, a nonprofit organization founded by late actor Paul Walker, has several ties to the community. Walker’s brother, Cody, is a former volunteer firefighter for the department as well as former first-responder with Bay Cities Ambulance in Coos Bay, said Brown. Firefighters will be handing out any remaining

bottles of hand sanitizer on Tuesday, June 16, from noon to 6 p.m. at the fire station located on 1880 McPherson Avenue in North Bend. Community members from North Bend and surrounding areas are encouraged to visit the station and pick up a bottle or two from the department, according to the North Bend Fire Department’s Facebook page. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended people take part in a number of safety guidelines to combat the spread of the new coronavirus which an increased use of hand sanitizer. However, a national shortage of hand sanitizer has made it difficult for many people to get a hold of the product.

The North Bend Fire Department on Thursday, June 11 set up a drive-through, pick-up area in its parking lot to hand out free bottles of hand sanitizer.

Facility not impacted by COVID-19 breakout Pacific Seafood facility has recorded over 120 cases of coronavirus ZACH SILVA The World

CHARLESTON — While the Newport branch of Pacific Seafood has recorded 124 positive cases of COVID-19, the Charleston branch of the

same company has been unaffected. “The cluster of COVID-19 cases in Newport has not impacted our operations or team members in Charleston. No workers from Newport have relocated to Charleston, or to any other facilities,” said Lacy Ogan, communications manager, in an email to The World. These cases in Newport have been part of an uptick in positive COVID-19 tests

around the state. On Thursday, OHA announced that the state had recorded the highest amount of positive cases in one day. “The reasons for the higher numbers are tied to several factors, including widespread availability of testing, increased contact tracing, and active monitoring of close contacts of cases. Workplace outbreaks are another source of the high number,” the OHA stated.

With similar outbreaks in the food processing industry across the country, local health officials have been working to stop a breakout in the area. At the end of May, free COVID-19 tests were offered to all fishing industry workers. This was the first targeted testing to take place in the area. “Our public health emergency manager (Phillip Nel) has been in constant

contact with the commercial fishing industry,” said Eric Gleason of Coos Health and Wellness. “The processing industry, the processing plant out there has expressed interest in doing another specifically targeted testing event for the individuals that work at that processing plants. As a local industry and major employer, we want to ensure that the food processing industry is safe.” Pacific Seafood in

Charleston has reported that safety precautions are in place. These steps have included increased cleaning protocols, face coverings, daily temperature checks, staggered shifts to allow for less people together and restricted access provided to the facility. “Pacific Seafood takes our responsibility to do everything possible to protect the continued health and safety of our workers seriously,” said Ogan.

People laugh or cry because they are the only animal struck by the difference between the way things are and the way they should be. And in no endeavor are there more reasons for laughter and tears than in a business of your own. You know those reasons well. You face them every day. And sometimes it’s almost a flip of the coin – some days you win, some days you don’t. The gamble is worth it though. You know the payoff is there. To help you get there, you need a tough, street-smart CPA like me who understands small business owners and can talk your language, one who loves his business, too. He must know the tax laws and accounting rules, of course. But it’s really his view of the world – your world – that counts the most. For over 30 years I’ve offered old-fashioned CPA service: tax returns and financial statements, but also innovative, pragmatic advice and counsel that have saved my clients a lot of money and helped them grow and prosper. I can probably do the same for you. If you are less than satified with the tax and financial help you’ve been getting, perhaps we should talk. Or laugh and cry. Together.

Port officials urge public to stay off tracks ZACH SILVA The World

COOS BAY — In a press release sent out by the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, there was a simple reminder: stay off the train tracks. The release came days after peaceful protestors gathered near the boardwalk and spilled onto the train tracks on Sunday. During the Black Lives Matter protest, protestors laid on the ground for almost nine minutes in memory of George Floyd who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer while in this position. During that demonstration, some of the protestors were on the train tracks. “It’s not just (in response to the protest). We’ve seen people walking along the tracks all the time. So yeah, that certainly — we want people to be aware, it’s not really a place you can walk because it is dangerous,” said Margaret Barber, Director of External Affairs at Oregon International Port of Coos Bay. “There have just been increasing incidents over the last couple moths where we’ve seen people on the tracks. We’re really concerned about safety and we understand that the trains don’t move very quickly but they take a long time to slow down. We’re just wanting the

BEN KENFIELD Publisher

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Paying attention and checking the facts I read Mr. Woods’ letter to the editor with some interest. Having studied the period in question at length as a university student, I could not remember ever seeing the comments attributed to Nikita Khrushchev by Mr. Woods. It has been a while since I was a student so I did a quick fact check online. I found a Reuters article noting that the comments are from a false article circulating on social media. I also found the released CIA document on the topic of Khrushchev comments. I appreciated The World’s balanced coverage in the June 3 edition of the antifa scare in Coquille. The front page plus the AP article on page nine, shows both the local impact of social media propaganda and the source of that propaganda. Al Dubs Coos Bay Leadership in emergency services Police and fire work are the most difficult public service jobs. As a former teacher I never had to face an adversary with a gun who wanted to kill me. I never had to climb on a roof that was burning under my feet. I think we have been well served by the city police and fire departments over the 50 years I’ve lived in Coos Bay. I’ve known several police officers, fewer firemen, but all have been most professional and competent. It started, I think, with Police Chief Rollie Pean many years ago. Rollie, as everyone called him, was low key and modest. He was not a bravura chief, and he set a tone of quiet competence in CB police officers that I still detect today. No flash, just do the job and do it well. In contrast, Tony Zarbano came up from California, also many years ago, to be Police Chief of North Bend and then Coos County Sheriff. He was an in-your-face cop, as we have seen in Minneapolis and other cities. It got to the point that there were bumper stickers on old VW buses that said “Czarbano.” The buses were harassed regularly by county sheriffs. Coos Bay has been both lucky and well served by their police chiefs. The fact that I can’t rattle off names tells me that most have been low key, too, like Rollie Pean. It is the same for the CB Fire Department. It has served us well. I know for sure that I live exactly three minutes away from the Fire Department’s EMT crew. Twice they have come to assist me. Thanks. It should also be known that our police officers have faced life-threatening situations. After one officer, a former student, was forced to shoot a man in Empire, he was most distraught over the situation. He was placed on immediate administrative leave until all the facts were known, and his action was declared necessary, though unfortunate. Such situations, however, have been rare in Coos Bay. It is to the

credit of our city police department that most situations they have faced have been resolved reasonably. I’m sure local city councils have already started assessing how to make our police and fire departments better after the screw-ups in Minneapolis. Right now, though, we have been fortunate with the police and fire departments we have. Ralph Mohr Coos Bay Increase funding for the police In recent weeks, I’ve heard numerous Media outlets repeat the calls from groups like Black Lives Matter that Police Departments be “defunded.” These calls have also been repeated by Democratic leads such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Bill DeBlasio, nine members of the Minneapolis City Council and many others. I was once a deputy sheriff in a rural county in California, and have lived in two rural counties (Coos and Klamath) since moving to Oregon. I have experienced first hand what it’s like to respond to a violent or worse, unknown trouble call by myself with no help on the way. Even worse is the homeowner who is experiencing a break-in and the only help is 30-45 minutes out. Funding for rural sheriff’s departments should be increased, not “defunded.” The OSP is currently downsizing due to budget cut backs in effect by Kate Brown. Put yourself in a trooper’s vehicle stopping a know murder suspect and again, the only help is too far out to do any good. Or a terrible vehicle accident with multiple victims and you’re the only one that can provide very limited medical assistance. “Defund”? Their budget should be increased two-fold just to make up for the cuts Ms. Brown very unrealistically felt were necessary. As for police departments, whether they be the North Bend PD, Portland or New York City, we live by the rule of law. I agree that every law isn’t reasonable or necessary, but the law it is. Thank God that we have in our society men and women who are willing to enforce these laws. But more importantly, they are also there when tragedy hits, to offer comfort and help. They are there running in to protect your children when some madman starts shooting up a mall, grocery store or, God forbid, a school. That’s them as they pass you running out. Policing is a calling. I know that most reading this won’t understand that but to be a cop is knowing that you’ll never make much money, you sacrifice way too many nights and holidays at home with your family, you might not make it home at end of shift and although you don’t dwell on this, it’s always there, lurking somewhere in the back of your mind. You’re cursed at, spit on, and called every vile name in the book. Robert Benjamin Myrtle Point

COQUILLE, June 13 — (Special) — The Coquille

Highlight of the June meeting of the District 7 Committee for the Governor’s Commission on Youth held in Port Orford this week was the announcement of a Task Force to evaluate the Coos County Juvenile Department. The Task Force resulted from a resolution passed by the Youth Committee at their May meeting. The proposal was accepted by the Coos County Circuit Court judges and the board of commissioners. The Task Force, composed of volunteer citizens, has been

A 36-year-old Coos Bay man sustained injuries during a fight Sunday, sending him to Bay Area Hospital. According to a press release from the Coos Bay Police Department, police responded to a report of a man lying in the front yard of a residence in the 400 block of North Wall Street. Upon arrival, officers found that John Palmer was bleeding and unconscious. One of his wounds appeared to have been caused by a knife. Police later learned Palmer had been in a fight with three other men. --------------------------These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository store in Marshfield HS courtesy of Coos Bay Schools and on The World newspaper website www.theworldlink.com.

suggested that a sizeable spending plan could help reverse the current downturn. Healthy and connected modern infrastructure—including a thriving freight rail network—supports a better Oregon economy as well as decreased congestion and pollution. I couldn’t have put it better myself, except to say that privately-owned freight railroads aren’t looking for funding from the government like other transportation modes. Instead, these companies spend massive amounts of their own money to maintain, grow and modernize the rail network that so many Oregon businesses depend on. The result is the world’s top freight rail system as measured by safety, productivity and cost. Here in Oregon, my current employ-

er, Stimson Lumber Company, started more than 160 years ago. Six generations later, Stimson is one of the oldest continuously operating integrated wood products companies in the United States. We stretch across Oregon, Idaho and Montana; employ more than 750 people; operate seven mills and sustainably manage over 500,000 acres of forest land in the western U.S. Quality, reliable rail service is key to our business. Five of our six mill sites are served by railroads large and small, which connect us to retailers and builders across the country. And we are not alone. As President of the Pacific Northwest Association of Rail Shippers, I see first-hand the importance of railroads to companies of all stripes and sizes.

Much has happened in the short time since I was in Washington, but recent events only strengthen my belief in the message I delivered on Capitol Hill. To keep railroads strong, federal policymakers should avoid regulations that could constrain railroads’ ability to keep serving Oregon’s economy, drivers and environment. Simply put, freight railroads are the backbone of our economy. They helped connect our growing nation in the 19th century and they continue to provide the unshakeable foundation that will help get us through this crisis and rebuild our economy. Tim Atkinson is the president of the Pacific Northwest Association of Rail Shippers and vice president of sales at Stimson Lumber Company.

The annual commencement exercises of the Marshfield high school were held last evening. The high school was crowded by friends and parents of members of the graduating class. The program as announced was carried out. Rev. H.C. Kephart, pastor of the Methodist church, make the address. There were many beautiful flowers decorating the rooms and presented to the graduates.

GUEST OPINION Keeping Oregon’s Economy Chugging At a time when families and businesses are navigating so much uncertainty, we’re all more appreciative of the foundational industries, often working behind the scenes, that support our communities, consumers, jobs and the economy. Freight rail is one of those industries – a standout piece of the integrated logistics network of trains, trucks, planes and ships moving all the goods Americans are relying on to stay safe at home and flatten the curve. From frozen pizzas, canned goods, toilet paper and cleaning products to automobiles, grain and building materials, freight rail moves it. Just as COVID-19 concerns were

beginning to emerge, I was in Washington, D.C., with hundreds of other advocates for rail transportation reinforcing to our federal officials the importance of freight rail as one of those foundational pillars of our economy. Specifically, we urged Congress not to impose new restrictions on freight railroads that could undercut their ability to deliver the products consumers need and the supplies and inputs that keep manufacturers going, even as railroads are also moving agricultural and other products to market and keeping American exports going. The key relationship between infrastructure and America’s economic recovery was recently underscored by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Peter DeFazio who

Norman Ralph Oberst February 23, 1928 – June 4, 2020

A family inurnment service will be held for Norm Oberst at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay, Oregon. A public memorial service will be scheduled for a later date. Norman “Norm” Ralph Oberst, died peacefully at his Coos Bay, Oregon home Thursday, June 4, 2020 from complications of heart disease. He was 92 years old. Born in Portland, Oregon, Norm spent the first year of his life on his grandfather’s farm in Sherwood, Oregon, before his father, Henry, moved the family to Coos Bay. After graduating from Marshfield High School in 1946, Norm enlisted in the Army and served in Osaka, Japan as a radio operator. At Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls, Norm

became a member of the school’s first graduating class. In 1949, Norm began a 46-year career in radio which included a 35-year run as the general manager and co-owner of radio station KURY in Brookings. Norm put in long hours to make the radio station profitable. But it was work he loved and, as an important resource for community news and local programming, a responsibility he embraced. In Brookings, Norm was a prominent business and civic leader and served terms as president of numerous civic groups. In 1962, Norm was named the Jaycee’s Young Man of the Year, and in 2020 he received his 60-Year Pin from the Elks Club. Oberst served multiple terms as a board member for the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative and was a member of the Oregon Association of Broadcasters. In 2019, Norm was featured as a subject matter expert in the film, Samurai in the Oregon Sky. The documentary chronicles a 1962 goodwill visit by former World War II Japanese Navy pilot Nobuo Fujita at the invitation of the Brook-

ings-Harbor Jaycees. In retirement, Norm trailered to jazz festivals up and down the west coast of the United States and for many years, volunteered for the Coos Bay Clam Bake. Norm is survived by his wife, Betty Oberst, of Coos Bay; sons, Daniel Oberst of Case Grande, Ariz., Steven Oberst of Medford, Ore., Gregory Oberst of Covington, Wash.; daughter, Julia Oberst-Washington of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.; eight grandchildren; two great grandchildren; Betty’s children, Russ Gleason of Coos Bay; Rick Gleason of North Bend; Becky Gleason of Salem; Betty’s five grandchildren; ten great children; former wife, Shirlee Oberst of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.; brother, Cal Oberst of Redding, Calif. And sister, Muriel Hynes of Coos Bay. Norm was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Hazel Oberst; brother, Bruce Oberst and sister, Dorothy Leighton.

SALEM (AP) — State prosecutors on Thursday added their support for a bill that would help ensure disciplinary actions against officers cannot be later reversed by an outside arbitrator The Oregon District Attorneys’ Association now joins state police chiefs, sheriffs and a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers in urging Gov. Kate Brown to convene a special session to pass the bill, which has twice failed in regular legislative sessions. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that momentum is growing for lawmakers to pass new police accountability legislation this summer in a special legislative session, as widespread protests against

racial injustice and police brutality continue. “Over the past two weeks, we have watched our nation and state slowly step up to engage in a conversation that is long overdue,” Rep. Janelle Bynum, a Happy Valley Democrat and chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. Bynum and other members of Oregon’s all-Democrat People of Color Caucus joined three Republicans in asking Brown to convene a session to pass the bill within 30 days. In fact, it may come well sooner. The governor “agrees that the Legislature should pass it in short order, and she is preparing to call a special session to take up this bill among

others,” Charles Boyle, a press secretary in the governor’s office, told OPB. “The Governor is working with legislative leadership to finalize a plan and timeline for the upcoming special session, and we anticipate an announcement on that front in the next few days.” The bill with the most backing headed into that session has been a long-time goal of the city of Portland, and introduced repeatedly by state Sen. Lew Frederick, D-Portland. It would ensure that outside arbitrators can’t overturn disciplinary actions against police officers if they concur that misconduct occurred, and that a police department has followed its disciplinary guidelines.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren Granddaughter wants wedding with no family in attendance DEAR ABBY: Our first granddaughter is getting married in six months and has told her parents that no one from either family is invited to the wedding. They want to get married by themselves because they are both shy and don’t want to be the center of attention. At first I was OK with it, but the more I thought about it, the more hurt I felt. The confusing part about this is she wants a pre-wedding party for both families to attend. So I asked her to keep an open mind and think about having the party right after the marriage ceremony. Now she won’t talk to me! Was I wrong to suggest an idea? My husband is now saying he doesn’t want to attend any party they will have. I can’t stop thinking about our daughter and how she feels about not being able to see her daughter get married. I’m afraid I may have made things worse, and I’m very depressed. I just want to fix it so everyone is happy. Help! -- DEPRESSED IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR DEPRESSED: So you have appointed yourself the official family fixer? Your “shy” granddaughter and her fiance appear to be confirmed introverts. If they prefer to take their vows privately, it’s their privilege, and you shouldn’t personalize it. That was your mistake. While I don’t think you have committed a cardinal sin and do think your granddaughter overreacted, you shouldn’t feel the need to mend any fences. As to how your daughter will feel about not seeing her daughter get married, that is not your problem. Take a step back and let the bride and groom celebrate their day as they wish. P.S. I find it odd the bride and groom would want ANY party, feeling the way they do about the ceremony. DEAR ABBY: Why do people feel compelled to ask if my dog was adopted or rescued? I have wanted a dog for at least five years. Because I was in nursing school, I waited until I graduated, and then my partner and I researched extensively. While I love the idea of adopting,

sheltering or rescuing, we wanted a purebred German shepherd puppy. My son and I both have mental health issues, and our dog has been a huge help and an antidepressant all in one. It is unfair that people ask these questions, or have the audacity to make faces and comments when I say no. I have neither the desire nor the capacity to mend or train a potentially broken dog. How I got her is no one’s business but ours and our vet’s. The best response I have heard when someone asks if a dog is adopted or rescued is, “No, she’s biological.” I’ve used it only once, but it got my point across. Please remind your readers that asking these questions is rude. -MYOB IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR MYOB: I’m willing to remind them, but whether they’ll pay attention is anyone’s guess. What these people are doing is expressing the idea that animals who are in need of a good home should take priority. That said, there is nothing wrong with having a purebred animal if that is your preference. P.S. I hear a lot lately about people adopting dogs during this quarantine period because they are desperate for company. I sincerely hope the animals will not be forgotten or discarded once the quarantine is lifted and folks return to their (somewhat) normal lives. ---------------------------------------Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Reedsport Community Charter School graduates gathered on Sunday, June 7, to take a class photo. At first, they were instructed to stand six feet apart, but were allowed to come back together to throw their hats for a yearbook photo.

Reedsport seniors graduate individually together CHERYL UPSHAW The World

REEDSPORT — Seniors at Reedsport Community Charter School came together one last time Sunday for a parade and 22 individualized graduations for a total of 45 graduates. In a normal year, the small class would gather, hear a speech or two and walk across the stage one at time to the cheers of their families and friends. This year, due to worries about contracting the novel coronavirus and state social distancing restrictions, RCCS did things a little differently. While many school nationwide conducted their ceremonies digitally, RCCS chose to invite their students for a socially-distanced graduation. Instead of holding one big ceremony, the school held nearly two dozen smaller ones. The ceremonies were staggered. Students were split into pairs and then invited to receive their diplomas one at a time. When their turns came, one student walked down the auditorium steps at stage left and the other walked down the steps at stage right. Their names were called one at a time. As in a traditional ceremony, they shook the hands of those on the stage and were given their diplomas. Unlike in a traditional ceremony, their families were standing at the back of the auditorium, looking down at rows of empty chairs. Also unlike a traditional ceremony, the men distributing diplomas,

former teacher Keith Tymchuk, Superintendent John Zwemke and School Board Chair Eric Brandon used hand sanitizer after each handshake. Each student was allowed to invite up to eight guests to attend the ceremony. After their students got their diplomas, families walked down the steps to take their photos and shuffled off to make way for the next group. Each individual graduation took about two minutes. It took close to three hours to cycle through the RCCS Class of 2020. This year’s commencement speaker, English teacher Joshua Peck, also served as cameraman for graduation. He started teaching at RCCS four years ago, when the graduating class were freshmen. “I’m sad that, especially with this class, we didn’t get a last day of school. We had a last day of school but we didn’t know it was the last day of school,” he said, “We’re doing graduation but it still almost doesn’t feel real.” Following the ceremony, the class of 2020 drove to the school for one last goodbye in the form of a parade. Many students decorated their cars for the short route. Several were installed in the back of pickup trucks, adorned with balloons and signs. The parade of new graduates was led by an unmarked police car and trailed by no less than six fire vehicles, at least four of which were engines. They, together with the students, made a noisy

processional and were met with cheers as they drove through town. As the group passed nearby Reedsport Church of God, Youth Pastor Lindsey Speer greeted them with candy. “This is my fourth year back in town. I feel like I’m graduating with them. They’re very special to my heart and to this community,” Speer said. This year was difficult for the graduates, who had to leave school unexpectedly in March as the pandemic caused shutdowns nationwide. They took up distance learning, but the rapid shift was difficult, particularly for those who played spring sports. Principal Jerry Uhling, reflected on the smaller celebration, feeling some regret that the rest of the community could not join the graduates. “It’s a rite of passage, right? It’s the closing of childhood and entering the adult world. And that should be met with a great celebration of community, because they are all a part of it. But they don’t get to be a part of it,” he said. Uhling went on, “But they will carry on. This will be a little blip on the radar of their life, when they look back on it, but it’s probably bittersweet right now, for sure.” Ashley Schuttpelz, Emily Brown and Kendallynn Bond are three graduating seniors and are best friends. The three echoed Uhling’s sentiments while looking back on the year and their graduations. Schuttpelz said the expectation that they would

We thought it was just a little virus, but it turned out to be a really big thing.” Brown said, “It’s nice seeing everyone, but it’s kind of sad, though. Because you don’t really know what’s going on in their lives anymore,” she said.

REEDSPORT — As the graduates of Reedsport Community Charter School look back on their high school experiences with sports, class and the novel coronavirus, they look forward to entering the workforce, going to college and achieving their goals. The RCCS Class of 2020 graduated on Sunday, June 7, in a series of small ceremonies. There were 45 graduates, who included Kendallynn Bond, Kambel Eunice and Brady Dexter. Kendallynn Bond Former high school athlete Kendallynn Bond keeps busy. Between multiple sports, parttime work and college courses, Bond is a focused person with big goals. Bond has a clear vision for her future: she wants to be a large animal veterinarian. She wants to buy a large property and start a vet clinic where she can board horses. It has been her dream from a young age to live on a large piece of land and to be away from the city. Bond took several college-level courses while attending RCCS. She doesn’t like to study, but liked that the extra work will allow her to finish college more quickly. She plans to start out at Linn-Benton Community College for her first two years of school and then transfer to Oregon State University. While Bond felt that the virus stole three months of memories from her senior year, she was

grateful to have been able to earn some extra cash while doing distance learning. She has now saved up enough money to get her first apartment, which she will live in with her friend Emily Brown. Her family has been Kendallynn Bond Kambel Eunice supportive of the move.

She has had friends who came from abusive homes, and she wanted to be able to help others like them. Additionally, she likes the idea of being able to take children out of abusive homes. It was this portion of the social worker’s presentation that most inspired her. She described it reverently. “Her being able to go to their house and let them know they’re going to be okay, now that they’re out of their house. And the process afterward, to help them through and show them a normal life,” she said, “I just like making people happy and I don’t want anyone to struggle, because no one deserves that.” Brady Dexter Brady Dexter was also an athlete. Dexter participated in sports each year of high school.

He lettered in track his freshman year and earned three pins each for track, cross country and wrestling. Dexter is the oldest of seven children. He likes all the activity that having so many siblings brings into his life. “It does get kind of loud. It’s not that bad. It seems normal to me,” he said. When he isn’t in school or doing sports, Dexter likes to visit his dad in North Bend and to go fishing. He also works at Don’s Main Street Family Restaurant. Academically, Dexter struggled, but when RCCS sent all the students home to do distance learning, Dexter found the work much easier. He said it helped that his mother kept him on track and didn’t allow him to get distracted. Dexter didn’t particularly enjoy school. He did, however, like how small RCCS was. He said he liked that he would usually see someone he knew as he walked through the school. He felt that all his classmates were “pretty good friends” and said he didn’t see much bullying. Though he’s not sure what the future will bring, Dexter is interested in several options for his career. He may choose to earn his Commercial Driver’s License, become a police officer or become a lineman. In the meantime, he plans to seek out full-time work. He hopes to start a family someday. “Just because it’s your last year doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try your hardest. Just put in your best work and finish on top,” Dexter said.

Governor puts pause on reopening as virus counts rise SALEM (AP) — The Oregon Health Authority reported 178 new confirmed coronavirus cases Thursday, marking the highest daily count in the state since the start of the pandemic. Officials said part of the reason for the increased case number is due to the expansion of “widespread availability of testing, increased contact tracing, active monitoring of close contacts of cases” and recent workplace outbreaks. Thursday’s cases bring the new total number of people who have tested

positive for coronavirus in Oregon to 5,237. In addition, two more people have died from the disease, raising the state’s death toll to 171, the Oregon Health Authority reported. The second highest daily case count in the state was 146 cases Sunday, June 7. Gov. Kate Brown said Thursday evening that the noticeable increase in COVID-19 infections was cause for concern and that in response she is putting all county applications for further reopening on hold for seven days. “This is essentially a statewide ‘yellow light,’

she said in a news release ”This one week pause will give public health experts time to assess what factors are driving the spread of the virus and determine if we need to adjust our approach to reopening.” The Governor’s Office this week received four applications for reopening that are now on hold. Multnomah County’s application to enter phase 1, and applications from Hood River, Marion, and Polk counties to enter phase 2 have been put on hold for one week. Oregon Health Authority officials were not surprised with the increase.

State reports highest case count The World

PORTLAND — COVID-19 has claimed two more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 173, the Oregon Health Authority reported Friday. That came a day after the state had its highest reported total of positive tests. Oregon Health Authority reported 142 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Friday, bringing the state total to 5,377. The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported Friday are in the following counties: Clackamas (9), Columbia (3), Deschutes (2), Hood River (3), Jackson (2), Klamath (2), Lincoln (14), Marion (29), Multnomah (36), Polk (9), Umatilla (5), Union (4), Wasco (3), Washington (21). On Thursday, COVID-19 claimed two more lives and 178 new confirmed and presumptive cases, the Oregon Health Authority reported. The new cases reported Thursday are in the following counties: Clackamas (47), Clatsop (1), Crook (2), Deschutes (1), Hood River (1), Jefferson (3), Lake (2), Lane (3), Lincoln (9), Marion (34), Multnomah (43), Polk (4), Umatilla (4), Union (1), Wallowa (1), Wasco (1), Washington (15), Yamhill (6). Thursday’s COVID-19 case count marked the highest daily count since the onset of the pandemic in Oregon. The reasons for the higher numbers are tied to several factors, including widespread availability of testing, increased contact tracing and active moni-

toring of close contacts of cases. Workplace outbreaks are another source of the high number. “Higher case counts serve as a reminder that Oregonians need to continue to maintain physical distancing, wear face coverings where physical distancing cannot be maintained and follow good hand hygiene,” said a press release from the OHA. Oregon’s 170th COVID-19 death is an 84-year-old woman in Clackamas County, who tested positive on June 6 and died on June 9. The location of her death is unknown at this time. She had underlying medical conditions. Oregon’s 171st COVID-19 death is a 66-year-old man in Yamhill County, who tested positive on June 3 and died on June 10, at Willamette Valley Medical Center. He had underlying medical conditions. Oregon’s 172nd COVID-19 death is a 96-year-old man in Washington County, who tested positive on May 10 and died on June 11 in his residence. He did not have underlying medical conditions. Oregon’s 173rd COVID-19 death is a 68-year-old man in Multnomah County, who tested positive on June 1 and died on June 10 at Adventist Hospital. He had underlying medical conditions. OHA releases updated modeling report On Friday, OHA released its updated modeling report, showing the projections for the COVID-19 progression in Oregon. With limited data since

reopening, counties being reopened at different times and recent increases in cases, the report provides three different scenarios. In all scenarios, however, recent data and model calibration show transmission has increased since reopening began on May 15. • The most optimistic scenario the model assumes a 10-percentage point increase in transmission after re-opening on May 15. It shows the number of new infections per day would remain relatively stable over the next month. • The less optimistic scenario the model assumes a slightly larger increase in transmission (15 percentage points) after May 15, which fit the recent observed hospitalization and diagnoses trends better. It shows the number of new infections per day will gradually increase over the next month (approximately 170 additional new infections per day). • The most pessimistic scenario the model assumes a 15 percentage point increase in transmission after May 15 plus an additional 10 percentage point increase in transmission after May 25. Under this scenario, the number of new infections per day will increase more dramatically. Compared to the most optimistic scenario, this model projects about 14,000 more cumulative infections, 925 more new infections per day, and 17 more new severe cases per day by July 3. OHA uses this modeling for data analysis and planning purposes and releases it on a bi-weekly basis.

“As testing increases we will find more cases that our out there,” Patrick Allen, the director of the Oregon Health Authority, said at a news conference Thursday. “Much of the testing going on is focused on higher risk areas, like long-term care and high density work environments.” Last week more than 20,500 tests were conducted, according to state data.

But, testing isn’t the only reason for the uptick in cases, Allen said. “There is expanded contact tracing,” Allen said. “We have dedicated $11 million to counties, within the last two weeks, to support hiring of new contact tracers.” Lastly, Allen said as counties have reopened, and many entering phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan, there are simply more

cases of coronavirus. “As we expected the number of cases are going up,” Allen said. “The question has always been, can we manage that in a way that doesn’t prevent the cases from going up but prevents it from overwhelming our systems.” It is still too early, following the reopening of Oregon counties, to determine how quickly the virus is spreading, Allen said.

Restrictions From A1

It had applied for phase one reopening that would allow restaurants and bars to reopen while maintaining social distancing, and services like hair salons, with face masks required. Three other counties had applied for phase two, which would allow venues like movie theaters and bowling alleys to open and larger groups to gather. “As I’ve said before, reopening comes with real risk,” Brown told reporters. She referred to her order as a “pause” that will give health officials time to assess what factors are driving the spread of the virus “and determine if we need to adjust our approach to reopening.” In the court case focus-

Testing From A1

Last month, a press release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned the public that based on early data gathered from test results nationwide of facilities using the Abbott rapid testing machine that the machine can potentially produce inaccurate COVID-19 results. According to the press release, the test may specifically return false negative results. According to Dion, healthcare providers at BAH are aware of the rates associated with the rapid testing machine

Tucker From A1

The topic of Tucker was often a starting point for a conversation on race throughout Sunday’s protest around Coos Bay. “When we first started, nobody knew that name but maybe 10 people,” said Brown. “…That’s why it is important to me to bring that to the light because the people in this town

ing on the restrictions, Baker County Circuit Judge Matthew Shirtcliff ruled in May on behalf of 10 churches that Brown erred by not seeking the Legislature’s approval to extend the stay-at-home orders beyond a 28-day limit. Brown did refer to a statute in her emergency orders that imposes such a limit, but the Supreme Court said the state of emergency, which has no set time limit, prevails. Furthermore, while the Supreme Court acknowledged that closing churches and businesses caused harm, Supreme Court Justice Christopher Garrett wrote that keeping people safe was more important. “The circuit court did not give sufficient attention to the governor’s role, in emergency situations such as the COVID-19 pandem-

ic, in determining what is in the public interest, and it did not give the necessary weight to the harm to that public interest ... that would result if her orders were enjoined,” Garrett said. The Supreme Court had earlier temporarily halted Shirtcliff’s order upon a request by the Democratic governor. Health officials have attributed the increase in the number of coronavirus cases to wider testing and contact tracing and to the reopening of the state, but acknowledged they need to investigate further. None of the positive test results has come from people attending numerous demonstrations against police brutality, State Health Officer Dean Sidelinger said at Friday’s news conference. Friday’s cases bring the new total number of people

in Oregon who have tested positive for coronavirus to 5,377. In addition, two more people have died from the disease, raising the state’s death toll to 173, the Oregon Health Authority reported. For most, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.

Portland protests continue

Witnesses “In reading the report, the responding officer noted upon arrival that he had been ‘surrounded by a group of ... people’ who described what they had seen,” Frasier said in Friday’s press release.

“While four persons were willing to be identified and interviewed, the remainder of the group ‘distanced themselves’ from the officer when he attempted to find out what they saw,” Frasier added. “As a result, these potential witnesses were not identified and not interviewed.” “It appears that there are

more than four witnesses that saw what happened last Saturday. I call upon all persons who witnessed what happened last Saturday, even if such persons did not see the whole event, to come forward and be interviewed by the Coos Bay Police Department,” Frasier said. The CBPD can be reached at 541-269-8911.

and will on a case-bycase scenario determine which patients, who meet the needs to receive a COVID-19 test, will have their tests evaluated by the rapid testing machine and/ or the state lab. “It really just depends on what the patient’s needs are when they present as to whether we’re going to use the rapid test or a state test,” said Dion. “… The medical staff decides which one they’re going to use based on what the needs are at the time.” Patients who receive a COVID-19 test will be examined for other symptoms related to the coronavirus and screened to determine if

they’ve been potentially exposed to someone with COVID-19. If they somehow test negative, but they present all the factors consistent with the new coronavirus, then an additional test will be ordered via the state lab and the patient will be treated as a potential positive case, Dion explained. More data is currently being collected on the accuracy of test results from rapid testing machines, according to the FDA’s press release. It also stated that no test is 100 % accurate due to performance characteristics, specimen handling or user error. At BAH, a nasopharyngeal swab procedure is used to collect specimen

as Dion said it produces the most accurate results. The procedure includes a 6-inch thin, flexible swab which is used to collect nasopharyngeal specimen in the back of a patient’s nose for about 15 seconds. The patient who tested false positive received a nasopharyngeal swab, said Dion. “The Abbott ID (rapid testing machine) is a huge help to us in ruling out patients for COVID-19,” said Dion. “But just like any other lab test if it’s not consistent with the patient’s presentation the provider is going to treat the patient and not the lab test.” This may include ordering additional tests and/or

confirming with the state’s lab. “Apart from the possibility of this false positive case the hospital has not had an inpatient test positive for COVID-19 despite robust testing for potential cases,” read a press release from Bay Area Hospital. “The hospital will remain vigilant despite the overall low prevalence of the disease in Coos County.” “In short, Bay Area Hospital continues to put patient and staff safety as a top concern and believes the facility is a safe environment for anyone needing to receive medical care.” According to Dion, all patients are being tested

prior to any surgery as a way to clear them before they have a scheduled surgery. When possible, those tests are being done in advance and are being sent to the state lab. Officials at Bay Area Hospital in collaboration with Coos Health and Wellness have continued to treat its false positive case as if it were a positive case for COVID-19 out of an abundance of caution. According to a press release from the hospital, other causes for the patient’s fever, which launched the order of the COVID-19 test, were found and she is responding to the appropriate treatment for those causes.

didn’t even know that.” In 1902 Tucker was accused of assaulting a white woman, a claim that was often shrouded in racism at the time. “…’accusations of assault’ extended to any action that could be interpreted as a black man seeking contact with a white woman, and were sometimes merely based on cases of accidental touching or even making eye-contact,” says

the Oregon Community Remembrance Project on this topic. “Black people were regularly presumed guilty and deprived of investigation or trial. In this case, a lynch mob made sure that Alonzo Tucker did not survive long enough to defend himself in a court of law.” Tucker was taken to a local jail where an angry mob went searching for him. He briefly escaped before he was found, shot

and then hanged from a beam of a bridge. “Race, rather than the alleged offense, most often sealed lynching victims’ fates, and like nearly all documented lynching victims, Mr. Tucker was killed by a white mob that never faced prosecution for the lynching,” stated the Oregon Community Remembrance Project. With the knowledge of these events, local resident Bittin Duggan carried a

sign with Alonzo Tucker’s name on it at last Sunday’s event. “We are a racist community historically. Historically we are,” said Duggan who is the President of Human Rights Advocates of Coos County. “You know, it was illegal to be black in Oregon until 1968. Like, they were escorted out. It’s just, people just don’t know or it’s how they were raised but I’m impressed with how many people do

care and do know.” With the energy of Sunday’s event, Duggan, like many others, is hoping that it will lead to tangible change going forward. “In this little, rural white — only about one percent of our population is black — so for everyone to care and make a stand for justice is so cool,” Shea said. “Because everyone wants peace and most everybody knows that love is the way.”

PORTLAND (AP) — People in Portland continued protesting the death of George Floyd for the 15th day on Thursday after city officials tried but did not come to agreement on budget plans. Mayor Ted Wheeler had said he planned to make $7 million in cuts, including by getting rid of three police units and planned to divert that money and $5 million more to programs that help people of color. But The Oregonian/OregonLive reported hundreds of people testified Wednesday and Thursday that city officials should take more drastic actions to begin to address systemic racism in the Portland Police Bureau.

MLB offers players a 72-game season NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball and its players are moving closer — to a deal or to Commissioner Rob Manfred ordering a shortened season without an agreement. MLB offered players 80% of their prorated salaries and a 72game schedule beginning July 14 in an effort to start the pandemic-delayed season, according to details of the proposal obtained by The Associated Press. Players would get 70% of their prorated salaries during the regular season and the rest for completion of the postseason under MLB’s plan, given to the union Friday. “This represents our final proposal for a 72-game season,” Deputy Commissioner Dan

NBA fine-tunes schedule

Halem wrote in a letter to union chief negotiator Bruce Meyer that was obtained by the AP. “You should let us know by the end of the day on June 14 whether players desire to accept it.” Teams cut their proposed schedule each time they make an offer due to the calendar, unwilling to delay the World Series past October. Because salaries are tied to games, total pay for the year decreases as time goes by. The players’ last offer, on Tuesday, was for an 89-game regular season at full prorated pay. The union said it will convene a call of players to discuss its response, but players repeatedly have said they don’t intend to move off their stance for full prorated pay.

“The owners’ whole strategy from the beginning has been this. Play as few regular season games as possible to limit player cost as much as possible,” Cincinnati pitcher Trevor Bauer tweeted. “Play as many postseason games as possible to drive revenue as high as possible. They’re more than happy to play only 50 games. ... Why would players play the additional 24 games for free and burden the additional risk of injury?” MLB proposed that players be guaranteed about $1.27 billion in salaries including projected earned bonuses, increasing the total to $1.45 billion if the postseason is completed. The union’s proposal would guarantee players roughly $2.25 billion. Before the new coronavirus

caused opening day to be pushed back from March 26, salaries had been set to total $4 billion. Each side includes an additional $50 million postseason pool. Players have insisted they receive 100% of their prorated salaries, the terms the sides agreed to in March, but that agreement was contingent on fans having access to stadiums. MLB told the union that playing in empty ballparks without gate revenue would cause a loss of $640,000 for each additional game played and that teams can’t afford full. The union has said it doubts MLB’s figures but has not received sufficient financial disclosure to make a full evaluation. Manfred has threatened to unilaterally call for a schedule

of about 50 games if teams must pay 100% prorated salaries. That would guarantee just under $1.25 billion — close to the new offer without the postseason portion. If Manfred goes with a one-sided plan, the union likely would file a grievance and hope an arbitrator would award money damages. Both sides say they would agree to expand the playoffs from 10 teams to 16 in 2020 and 2021, but an agreement is needed for that to happen. MLB is to receive $787 million from Fox, Turner and ESPN in its current postseason format. Expanded playoffs would create new games to sell, the total depending on the format agreed to.

The NBA gave teams a more definitive timetable for the restart to the pandemic-interrupted season Friday, including required coronavirus testing that is set to begin this month and mandatory individual workouts in early July before training camps. The league is still working on completing the health and safety protocols that will essentially become the rulebook for the restart at the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida — and told teams that talks with the National Basketball Players Association on those issues are continuing. Meanwhile, a person with direct knowledge of the talks said that Disney workers who will be on the campus during the NBA restart will have to follow a long list of protocols — including constant mask or other appropriate personal protective equipment usage when in the vicinity of any NBA participants or others there for the restart, strict social distancing guidelines and a submission to daily temperature checks and symptom self-assessments. There are other requirements that will also apply to those working in housekeeping and food service, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because those details have not been revealed publicly. The NBPA has said player health and safety will be a top priority, and there are still many concerns about how things will work once teams arrive at Disney. But with negotiations on many levels apparently far enough along to determine a schedule of sorts, the league gave teams the go-ahead to immediately start allowing two assistant coaches to deal with voluntary player workouts. The rule had been one coach with one player since teams were given the green light to re-open facilities for the voluntary workouts last month. NBA head coaches can be one of those two coaches involved in the voluntary sessions starting June 23, though social distancing and other rules the league applied in response to the pandemic would still apply. June 23 is significant in another way as well. That would be the first day players on the 22 teams that will be going to the Disney campus would be required to undergo coronavirus testing conducted by those teams. The league also said it is still working on plans for the eight teams — Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Golden State, Minnesota and New York — that will not be part of the restart at Disney. Those teams can keep their facilities open for now for voluntary workouts until told otherwise. The rest of the league’s timetable, as of now and with the caveat that it is still considered tentative until the health protocols are done and agreements with Disney are signed, includes: Please see NBA, Page B2

North Bend football players work through drills during the preseason in 2018. The school will allow its teams to start practicing again this week.

NB teams will return to practice this week JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — Now that the school year has ended and schools can reopen their athletic facilities, North Bend’s sports teams are returning to volunteer workouts starting this week. Athletic director Mike Forrester outlined conditions in a lengthy Facebook post on Friday and said in a phone interview that it’s up to the coaches and students to follow those guidelines. “Our big goal is to keep people safe and do the best we can to keep people from getting sick,” Forrester said. “We’re excited that we got permission to do it. Our coaches need to hold up their end of the deal and make sure we are all following protocols and keeping kids safe. If we aren’t doing it, we are going to have to stop.” The school district is follow-

ing guidelines from the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon Health Authority and Oregon School Activities Association. All programs were required to put together facilities programs for cleaning facilities and equipment. In addition, the programs will be using no-touch thermometers to check the temperatures of the athletes and will have ample hand sanitizer available. Also, a questionnaire will be filled out that all athletes must fill out every day. That paperwork will be turned in weekly to keep track of which athletes were in practices each day. Only coaches and athletes will be allowed at practices. Coaches will wear masks when they are in close proximity with their athletes. As per OSAA guidelines, water stations will not be used. Athletes are encouraged to bring their own water bottles

to practice. Also, groups within practices will be limited to five or 10 students per group, and the groups need to stay the same all week. The biggest challenge, Forrester said, will be the social distancing among the athletes. “They have to stay 6 feet apart and can’t hug each other,” he said, adding that they probably are going to want to give high-5s or fist bumps after not spending time together for the past few months. There are no plans to compete with other schools in any sports this summer, and the teams likely won’t even scrimmage, Forrester said. “We simply are giving our student athletes a chance to begin the process of getting back into shape and to work on some basic skills in their sports,” he said. Starting this week, the football and cheer teams will practice Monday, Tuesday and Thurs-

day from 4 to 6 p.m. while the boys and girls soccer teams will practice Monday and Wednesday from 8 to 10 a.m. Volleyball will practice on Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon and the girls basketball team will practice from 9 to 10 a.m. Tuesday through Friday, but with a completely different group of girls each day. People with questions about the practices can contact Forrester by phone at 541-751-7159. While the current practice plans are limited, Forrester is optimistic of the chance for sports to return this fall. “I think we are going to have a fall sports season,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s going to start on time. “I think it’s huge, not only for our athletes. I think it’s really important for our community. I know our community wants to come out and support the kids.”

It just sets the stage for injury.” The memo outlines a “50/30/20/10 rule” for conditioning activities. Coaches should reduce the volume and/or workload of the activities by 50 percent in the first week, 30 percent in the second week, etc., until returning to normal in the fifth week. Rather than running the risk of overworking athletes, coaches should assume that all of them are starting out from the same level of deconditioning. “These next 4-6 weeks should be a slow increase in volume and intensity of workouts,” Koester said.

OSAA encourages gradual return to avoid injuries JERRY ULMER OSAAtoday

As restrictions gradually ease for high school sports training this summer, coaches must resist the temptation to make up for lost time and proceed cautiously with athletes, many of whom are returning from an extended period of inactivity. That’s the overarching message in a document released by the Korey Stringer Institute and endorsed by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). “There is no meaningful season that’s going to start at any time within the next month or two,” said Dr. Mick Koester, chair of sports medicine advisory committees for the OSAA and NFHS. “There’s no hurry to try to, quote-unquote, whip them back into shape. We’ve got plenty of time to do that. What we want to do right now is avoid injury.” The consensus statement

Coos Golf Club rallies to top Crossings The World

Crossings Cup

Host Coos Golf Club rallied to beat Bandon Crossings in the two-week visitational between the two clubs by winning five of the eight matches contested Thursday and 16 ½ of the 24 total points available in the matches between the two clubs. The Bandon Crossings team had won 14 ½ points when it hosted the first leg of the competition last week when the teams played at the course south of Bandon. In the second portion of the event, Coos Golf Club got wins by the pairs of Alden Peterson and Steve Stalcup, Lance Hendrix and Paul Welch, Craig Praus and Blake Thompson, Patrick Jones and Roy McDonald and Jake Lucero and Marty Stephens. In addition, Steve Horne and Paolo Liloc tied Chip England and John Ohanesian, winning the front nine, losing the back nine and halving the entire match. Bandon Crossings got wins by the pairs of Katherine Barton and Martha Blochlinger and Phil Bennett and Wim McSpadden. The best score of the day was turned in by Peterson and Stalcup, who combined for an even-par 72. Lucero and Stephens had the best net score with a 60, which was three shots better than Praus and Thompson.

At the midway point of the regular season race, Phil Shoaf leads the race for spots in the match play bracket that will determine this year’s Crossings Cup champion. Shoaf had 70 points through last week’s Casual Fridays game, putting him 11 in front of Coquille student Carter Borror. Stefiuk was third with 53 points. Jeff Mihalick had the top score in last week’s game with an even-par 72. Both Ed Tyner and McSpaden shot net scores of 68 to lead that category. Bandon Crossings Casual Fridays

The NCAA football oversight committee Thursday finalized a plan for an extended preseason that would include an additional two weeks for teams to hold walk-throughs. The proposed model goes to the Division I Council, which the NCAA said will act on it Wednesday. The proposal is expected to pass.

OSAA From B1

With the pandemic wiping out spring practice for most teams, along with the usual required summer activities for players such as weigh training and film study, a plan was needed to make up for the lost preparation time. A proposed schedule had been circulating among NCAA members during the last week. Oversight committee chairman Shane Lyons, who is athletic director at West Virginia,

told AP a few final tweaks were made Thursday. “This is the culmination of a significant amount of collaboration in our effort to find the best solution for Division I football institutions,” Lyons said. The final version permits teams to conduct the maximum six hours of unpadded walk-throughs per week while also requiring two days off for the players. The extra two weeks of walk-throughs, weight

training, conditioning and film study will be limited to 20 hours per week total and can begin 14 days prior to the start of normal 29-day preseason practice. Teams are allowed to begin preseason practice 29 days before their scheduled first game. Most major college football teams are set to kick off their seasons around Labor Day weekend, with a handful starting as early as Aug. 29.

Voluntary workouts for football players have begin on some campuses this week and more are expected to welcome back athletes throughout June. Mandatory athletic activities like training and film study can begin in July before the 14-day walk-through portion of the preseason begins. Teams will be required to complete at least the usual 29-day preseason before they can play games.

The same gradual increase should apply for “FIT” resistance training activities. The memo offers guidelines for the first two weeks for frequency, intensity relative volume, and time of rest interval. Coaches should be training athletes to reach a base level in four or five weeks, and work backward from there, according to Koester. “Four to five weeks does not mean optimal conditioning for these kids, it means back to where you’d want them to be at the beginning of the season,” Koester said. “You’re just kind of getting them at that point to start really pushing them, from a fitness standpoint.” Also, the statement recommends that multisport athletes should not participate in multiple training sessions per day in the first two weeks. “We don’t want football, basketball and baseball saying, ‘OK, you need to work out from 7 to 9, 11 to 1, and 3 to 5, which probably happens way too much at other times,” Koester said. “We’re trying to limit that, at least at this standpoint.”

ing with which day that team would arrive at the Disney campus. July 9-29 — Team training camps at Disney, which would follow initial health and safety screenings upon arrival. July 21 or 22 — Start

date for three intersquad scrimmages for each team. The scrimmages will be scheduled by the NBA and will have NBA referees. July 30-August 14 — Seeding games at Disney. Games will resume. The NBA is still working on

completing the schedule for those eight games per team, and the matchups will be based on regular-season games that remained when the league suspended play on March 11. Aug. 15-16 — The two-game play-in series to

determine the No. 8 seed in each conference, if necessary. The series would be necessary if the team in ninth place in either conference when the seeding games end is within four games of the No. 8 team. A best-of-two series would

be played, with the ninthplace team needing to go 2-0 in those games to earn a playoff berth. Otherwise, the No. 8 team would take that seed and move into the conference quarterfinals. Aug. 17 — Playoffs begin.

NASCAR needs plan for enforcing new flag ban DAN GELSTON

Associated Press

Reese Witherspoon tweeted a high-five emoji for her A-list stamp of approval that NASCAR banned the Confederate flag. NASCAR’s decision to ban the Confederate flag from its races and venues grabbed headlines and stars like Witherspoon and New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara were quick to praise the stock car series for ridding itself of a symbol long associated with slavery and racism. Kamara tweeted as the laps ticked off -- he requested NASCAR send him a car so he can take a spin -- and the sport suddenly had a slew of new, energized fans. Now comes the tricky part. In a matter of days, NASCAR will be faced with a daunting question: How to enforce the ban at its sprawling, rowdy tracks once fans are allowed back in and campers start setting up their RVs for race weekends? Approximately 1,000 members of the military will be allowed into Sunday’s race near Miami and become the first fans at a NASCAR event since the pandemic shut down sports in March. The enforcement question is much more likely to be an issue when the series holds races June 20-21 at Talladega, Alabama, where up to 5,000 fans are expected to be allowed in. Flags are a common sight at the superspeedway in the heart of NASCAR’s Southern base. NASCAR will work to develop pro-

tocols around enforcement, though it’s not known where the ban ends? Will security be tasked with policing every Rebel flag string bikini or scrape off all the bumper stickers? Take off that shirt, or else! Or else, what? “That will certainly be a challenge. We’ll try to do that the right way,” NASCAR executive vice president Steve O’Donnell told SiriusXM on Thursday. “We’ll get ahead of it as we are today in letting people know that, ‘Hey, we’re all about pride, we’re all about America, fly your U.S. flag high, fly your drivers flags high and come on into the track.’ But if we see something displayed at the track we’re going to have react and we will. More details to come but I’m confident we’ll do that and we’ll do that in a smart way.” Fellow drivers were quick to credit Bubba Wallace, NASCAR’s lone black driver, for pushing NASCAR to enact the ban. Years of bad press and hand-wringing over the fate of the flag evaporated within 48 hours once Wallace publicly condemned the relic of racing’s good ol’ boy roots. “I’ve seen too many comments and too many stories from first-time fans that come to a race in years past and the first thing they say, ‘I’ve seen the Confederate flag flying and it made me feel uncomfortable,’” Wallace told the “Today” show. “We shouldn’t have anybody feeling uncomfortable.” Wallace finished 11th at Martinsville on Wednesday

night, hours after the ban was announced, driving a Black Lives Matter paint scheme with “Compassion, Love, Understanding” emblazoned on the hood. “It was really cool to see what Bubba was able to do,” 2018 NASCAR champion Joey Logano said. “He should be proud of the movement he’s made for the African-American community in our sport. He always has just by being here, but when you look at the comments he made on CNN the other day and then NASCAR completely answered it. Kudos to NASCAR. Kudos to Bubba for bringing it up and using his platform for something good.” Brad Daugherty, the lone black Cup Series team owner, told the AP he was “touched to the core” NASCAR banned the flag. “While some might say, ‘NASCAR, what took you so long?’ I feel that is not the right response,” he said. “This is a big step in the right direction and now is the time to envision the future. You can’t be looking in the rear-view mirror when you are going 200 mph.” There were, of course, fans furious at the decision, howling on social media that their rights are being been trampled on and they would continue to wave the stars and bars. NASCAR helmet artist Jason Beam, who paints designs for Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and other star drivers, tweeted that he did not support “erasing only particular elements of history” to please a particular audience. Wallace ripped Beam on social media, tweeting: “

You made it clear of where you stand in today’s matter. All respect lost for ya dawg.” Johnson, the seven-time NASCAR champion, also cut ties with BEAMdesigns. “Due to recent posts on social media I have decided to end my relationship with Beam Designs,” Johnson tweeted. Busch and Ryan Blaney also severed relationships with the helmet designer. For weeks, NASCAR has been one of the the only live U.S. sports on television and ratings are up a tick in this most unusual of seasons. Through the first 11 races, Cup Series racing on FOX/FS1 is averaged a 2.38 share, up 1% over last year’s average of 2.35 out of 44 market averages. Martinsville scored 1,711,000 viewers for a weeknight race on FS1. And now comes the publicity surrounding the flag ban. The surge of celebs engrossed with NASCAR could be a one-night only instance or perhaps the the star-power support signals the series is headed toward a revival. “As far as the optics, NASCAR didn’t have a choice,” NASCAR historian Dan Pierce said. “I applaud the drivers for standing up. But the cynical person in me, especially when you’re dealing with NASCAR, is, did they get the OK from their sponsors ahead of time or from NASCAR? You have to give them credit for making a stand, which isn’t necessarily popular with a significant portion of their fan base.”

Mingus Park pool back open for lap swimming The World Mingus Park pool is back open for lap swimming with Coos County moved into Phase 2 of Gov. Kate Brown’s reopening plan. The opening has been welcome news to the area’s masters swimming community. In recent weeks, several of the swimmers have been getting their laps in at two area lakes, where the temperatures started at 60 degrees, but have risen to about 67. At Mingus Park pool, swimmers are restricted to one per lane and about 45 minutes each to minimize congestion in the locker rooms. Some swimmers have chosen to come to the pool ready to swim and left following their workouts without using the locker rooms. The first week went well, with 36 swimmers Monday and Tuesday and 48 on Wednesday. The pool is open from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lap swim on weekdays. “Compliments go to the Mingus Park Pool staff for setting everything up to open the pool so easily,” said Ralph Mohr, one of the leaders in the local masters community. Masters swimmers also will continue to swim in an area lake once a week, usually on Saturdays at Eel Lake in Lakeside. Swimmers who want to reserve a lane at the pool should call 541-267-1360 during lap swim hours.

Varner takes one-shot lead at Colonial FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Harold Varner III took his place in history in the PGA Tour’s technology era, all because of a triple bogey. Jordan Spieth had his lowest 36-hole score in four years. Rory McIlroy shot 63 with a bogey on his last hole. The strongest field of the year in golf’s return to competition produced an All-Star leaderboard at the Charles Schwab Challenge. No wonder a spectator tried to sneak into Colonial on Friday. There was plenty to see. The man didn’t get too see much before course officials noticed someone looking out of place with so few people in the first place. He wore jogging shorts, a black T-shirt and no credentials. He was sent packing. “Watching from afar, this is a golf course that’s always let the best players rise to the top,” said McIlroy, two shots behind Varner going into the weekend. “You have to be in complete control of your game, hit fairways, hit greens, convert some putts. Yeah, the leaderboard is a ‘Who’s Who’ of golf right now. I’m just happy to be in the mix.” If the opening round of the Charles Schwab Challenge felt like the first day of school, players quickly adjusted to the quiet environment as the PGA Tour tries to restart from the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s still not a return to normal. Some of the 81 players who missed the cut and are on the charter to Hilton Head will have to stick around for the flight. Everyone on the flight will be tested for the coronavirus Saturday. And there are still no spectators, making Colonial sound more like a library. And while players are getting accustomed to birdies and eagles greeted with silence, it figures to take on another dimension as the stakes get higher. “It’s tough to get adrenaline going,” U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland said after a 67 left him three shots behind. “I think you can get a little bit more of that this weekend getting in the hunt and get those juices flowing, but it is different without a crowd. You’ve got to kind of get that adrenaline going yourself.” Varner had plenty of juices flowing after his first tee shot on No. 10 went onto a bridge, led to a one-shot penalty, and eventually a triple bogey that quickly knocked him out of a share of the lead. No worries. He answered with eight birdies and a place in the record book with a 66. Dating to the ShotLink era in 2003, it was the lowest score on the PGA Tour by a player who began his round with a triple bogey. He was at 11-under 129, the lowest 36-hole score of his career.

XGames star Sara Price joins Ganassi team

Baseball

Associated Press

Baseball’s highest-paid players, Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole, would each be guaranteed $11.2 million and have the chance to earn $12.8 million under the new plan. They would receive $19,777,778 under the union plan, down from their original $36 million salaries this year, and $11,111,111 for 50 games at full prorated pay. A player at the $563,500 minimum would be guaranteed $175,311 under the MLB plan with the chance to rise to $200,356. He would get $309,577 under the union proposal and $173,920 for 50 games at a full prorated rate. In addition, a $50 million postseason players’ pool in each side’s proposal would result in a full share being worth about $250,000 for the World Series winner and $170,000 for the loser. Normally, tickets fund the postseason pool. MLB has proposed that active rosters expand to 30 for the first two weeks of the season, 28 for the next two weeks and then 26 for the rest of the year. MLB

also proposed each team could keep 60 total players, including the group not active. MLB has made three proposals, starting with an 82-game schedule on May 26, then cutting to 76 on Monday and now reducing the season further. Cole and Trout each would have been guaranteed about $5.58 million under MLB’s first proposal and about $8.72 million in the second with the chance to earn $12.19 million if the postseason is completed. Players started at 114 games on May 31 and dropped to 89 on Tuesday. “We still see no justification for paying players less than a full day’s pay for a full day’s work, ” Meyer wrote to Halem on Tuesday in a letter obtained by the AP. “Your refusal to play any games in October remains unreasonable and unsupported. You can play more baseball games than that and you owe it to your players and fans to do so. Among other things, concerns about a second wave in October and November are apparently not going to stop other leagues from playing during those months.”

Earnhardt Junior will race at Homestead MIAMI (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a plan for Saturday, one unlike any other he’s had in more than two decades of getting behind the wheel at NASCAR events. He’s going to fly to Homestead-Miami Speedway and arrive in the early afternoon. He’ll go through a health screening, then sit in a rental car instead of the custom RV that usually serves as his home away from home on race days. He’ll change into driver gear, hop into his race car about 10 minutes before the flag drops and, without the benefit of any practice, hope for the best. Welcome to pandemic-era racing, Junior. “I’m experiencing this for the first time,” Earnhardt Jr. said on his

DAN GELSTON

Sara Price needed less than two days in an offroad truck to complete an 800-mile solo race in Mexico. But to escape in a dune buggy from an entire flock of CGI ostriches? That daring drive in the desert took about nine days. Price has her own IMDB page, in part for her stint as a stunt driver in “Jumanji: The Next Level.” The 27-year-old Califor-

podcast this week. Once that engine fires up, things should seem normal again for Earnhardt Jr., who will take to the Homestead track Saturday for the first time since his NASCAR Cup Series career ended. He’s in the field for one of the two Xfinity Series races at Homestead this weekend, his third start in an Xfinity car since retiring. It’s been a one-Xfinityrace-a-year comeback so far for Earnhardt Jr., who was NASCAR’s most popular driver in 15 consecutive seasons and automatically would have been a fan favorite at Homestead this weekend — if, of course, fans were going to be at the track Saturday. There will be 1,000 South Florida-based members of

the military in the stands for the Cup Series race on Sunday, the first time anyone will be cheering on that side of a NASCAR track since the pandemic began. But on Saturday, the only fans watching Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 8 car again will be viewing on television. “I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to really sit in the car, drive the car, understand if it’s comfortable, if there’s anything wrong, if the mirror’s in the right place or all those little things that you’d like to take care of during the first few practices,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “And so, there’ll be a couple things that might not be exactly right or exactly comfortable as we’re racing, but I’m

looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to getting in the car and just kind of enjoying the experience of driving a race car and competition.” His past two post-retirement Xfinity appearances went well: Earnhardt Jr. was fourth in a race at Richmond in 2018, and fifth in a race at Darlington last year. And now he returns to Homestead, looking to get the feeling back again, if only for a couple hours. When it’s over, his plan is to just fly back home. “That’s really the only reason why I would even run these races at this particular point in my life, is to just sort of remember the sights and the sounds and the smells,” Earnhardt Jr. said.

nian is ready for a starring role in a new electric SUV off-road racing series scheduled to begin in 2021. The former X Games medalist is set to debut as the first female driver in any racing series for IndyCar and NASCAR team owner Chip Ganassi. “I have a lot of people that look up to me,” Price said. “There are a lot of little girls that bought their first Polaris Rzr UTV’s just to be able to feel like they can race and they feel

comfortable enough to go out there and do it. A lot of them share that story with me.” The Extreme E series has five events planned in what the league is calling “some of the most remarkable, remote and severely damaged locations on the planet.” The schedule calls for six-mile courses in Kangerlussuaq in Greenland, the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, Al-Ula in Saudi Arabia, the Nepalese Himalayas and Lac Rose

near Dakar, Senegal. Price is ready to hit the road. She is an electric motorsports novice -- she’s into high-speed, off-road desert trucks these days -- but figures she’ll be a quick learner. Price picked up dirt biking at just 8 years old and became “that never-fazed fearless child and just kept going with it.” She won her first national race at 12, turned pro at 16 and joined Kawasaki as the first factory-supported female racer.

Prix was due to be rescheduled after the postponement of its original race date on June 7, while the Singapore Grand Prix was scheduled for Sept. 20. Both use street circuits, and the FIA said the long lead times required to construct them “made hosting the events during a period of uncertainty impossible.” The Japanese Grand Prix, scheduled for Oct. 11, was canceled because of ongoing travel restrictions

during the pandemic. “We are confident in our plans to have between 15-18 races by the time our season concludes in Abu Dhabi in mid-December,” the FIA said, adding that it expects to publish the finalized calendar before the season-opening race in Austria on July 5. The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg also will host a race on July 12. The next race will be in Hungary on July 19, followed by consecutive races at the British

GP in Silverstone on Aug. 2 and 9 after the British government exempted elite sports from its current quarantine on foreign visitors. Further races are scheduled for Spain on Aug. 16 and Belgium on Aug. 30, with Italy completing the European swing on Sept. 6. No spectators will be allowed to attend the opening eight races. This may change later in the season if health conditions allow.

Formula One cancels three more races from schedule Associated Press Formula One races in Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japan were canceled on Friday because of issues arising from the coronavirus pandemic. The sport’s governing body said it still hopes to deliver up to 18 races in the rearranged 2020 season, with the first eight already confirmed starting with a double-header in Austria in early July.

Biden narrows possible running mate list WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s search for a running mate is entering a second round of vetting for a dwindling list of potential vice presidential nominees, with several black women in strong contention. Democrats with knowledge of the process said Biden’s search committee has narrowed the choices to as few as six serious contenders after initial interviews. Among the group still in contention: Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California, as well as Susan Rice, who served as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser. Those with knowledge declined to name other contenders and said the process remains somewhat fluid. Additional candidates may still be asked to submit to the extensive document review process now underway for some top contenders. Those familiar with Biden’s search spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the process. The campaign dismissed the idea of a shortened list as early

speculation. “Those who talk don’t know and those who know don’t talk,” said Andrew Bates, a Biden spokesperson. Biden, who has already said he will pick a woman as his running mate, is facing increased calls from Democrats to put a woman of color on the ticket — both because of the outsize role that black voters played in Biden’s road to the nomination and because of the reckoning over racism and inequality roiling the nation following the death of George Floyd. The black Minneapolis man died after a white police officer pressed his knee on his neck for several minutes, an episode that was captured on video. Terry McAuliffe, the former Virginia governor and former Democratic National Committee chairman, said that while Biden’s choice was likely to be “all about personal chemistry,” it would be “exciting for the party” to have a black woman on a major party presidential ticket for the first time. The campaign’s list includes several black women, including Harris and Rice. Advisers have also looked closely at Florida

Rep. Val Demings and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, both of whom are black, and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Latina. Biden’s vetting committee had conversations with a larger group of women earlier this spring; those continuing on in the process have been asked to turn over financial records, past writings and other documentation. Biden has had various public and private interactions with many of the women his vetting committee has considered thus far, but has not yet had any formal one-on-one interviews expressly to discuss the No. 2 spot on the ticket. Those aren’t expected for several weeks. Rice, who worked closely with Biden during his time as vice president, has emerged as a favorite among some former Obama administration officials and is personally close to the former president. She has never held elected office but has extensive foreign policy experience, including as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. She’s also been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration

since leaving the White House and considered running for U.S. Senate in Maine. Rice has long been a target of Republicans, including for statements she made after the deadly 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Republicans have also accused her of spying on Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, though records declassified by the Trump administration show no evidence of Rice improperly accessing any information. Harris and Warren have been seen as top contenders for the No. 2 spot since ending their own presidential campaigns. Warren and Biden have forged a surprising bond in recent months and talk regularly about the progressive policy ideas the Massachusetts senator put at the forefront of her campaign. Biden already has adopted her proposed bankruptcy law overhaul. And now, with the coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic slowdown elevating the nuts-andbolts of governing, some Democrats see Warren’s policy credentials as an asset to the ticket.

A Biden-Warren pairing would mean both Democrats on the ticket are white and in their 70s. Biden is 77, and Warren is 70. Harris is the lone black contender who has won statewide office, notable experience given Biden’s emphasis on wanting a partner “ready to be president.” She and Biden have also demonstrated a comfortable manner with each other in online fundraisers. Harris is an expert voice in discussions of criminal justice, but some black progressives view her background as a prosecutor skeptically. One contender whose standing does appear to have fallen is Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who was a prosecutor years ago in the county that includes Minneapolis. During that period, more than two dozen people — mostly minorities — died during encounters with police. While the people with knowledge of Biden’s vetting process did not rule Klobuchar out, she is widely viewed among Democrats with close ties to the Biden campaign as less likely to be tapped given recent events.

Stocks jump, but finish down for week Treasury chief won’t disclose virus aid recipients Associated Press

Wall Street managed to end a bumpy day broadly higher Friday but still finished with its worst week in nearly three months. The S&P 500 rose 1.3% a day after dropping nearly 6% in its biggest rout since mid-March. It lost 4.8% for the week, snapping a three-week winning streak for the benchmark index. Small-company stocks and bond yields rose, meaning investors were a bit more willing to take on risk again a day after the sell-off. The volatility this week interrupted what had been a dramatic rally for the market. After surging Monday, stocks sold off for three straight days as a rise in COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and a discouraging economic outlook from the Federal Reserve dashed investors’ optimism that the economy will recover relatively quickly as states lift stay-at-home orders and businesses reopen. “Yesterday was the market taking a needed breath and saying ’OK, this is probably going to take more time than we were expecting,” said Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Baird. “Today, it’s ‘maybe we overreacted yesterday.’”

The comeback rally lost some of its early strength as the day went on. The S&P 500 gained 39.21 points to 3,041.31 after shedding more than half of its early gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 477.37 points, or 1.9%, to 25,605.54. It had been up more than 800 points in the early going. It closed the week with a 5.6% loss. Investors have been balancing optimism about the reopening of the economy against the possibility that the relaxing of restrictions will lead to a surge in new coronavirus infections and fatalities. Cases are climbing in nearly half the states, according to an Associated Press analysis, a worrying trend that could intensify as people return to work and venture out during the summer. Despite the uncertainty, stocks have mounted a historic comeback the past couple of months, with the S&P 500 rallying 44.5% between late March and Monday, erasing most of its losses tied to the pandemic. It’s unclear if Thursday’s market sell-off reflected a fundamental reassessment of the economic outlook or a one-off drop as traders cashed in on the market’s recent gains.

“We will continue to see volatility across the markets, as there is plenty of uncertainty on what the reopening of the U.S. economy looks like,” said Julie Fox, northeast private wealth market head at UBS Financial Services. In a press conference earlier this week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell put a damper on hopes for a swift economic rebound from the coronravirus pandemic, noting that surprisingly strong May hiring data, while encouraging, was hardly enough to ensure that the job market or the economy is back on track. “This is a battle of optimism and realism that’s been playing out over the last three months,” said Adam Taback, chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Wealth Management. “Optimism was winning over realism with a look toward 2021. What Jerome Powell exposed is 2021 is not enough time. It’s likely 2022 or even 2023 before we will see ourselves get back to normal.” Taback said the job market remains the most important gauge of the economy’s recovery, which is why he’s keeping an eye on data for signs that people who were laid off or furloughed are getting re-

hired as businesses reopen. “The main thing to watch is how fast those jobs come back, because they’ll be directly tied to how much consumers are spending,” he said. Technology, financial and industrial stocks were among the big gainers Friday. Utilities stocks posted a small loss. Companies that were among the biggest losers Thursday were big gainers Friday, including airlines and cruise lines. The Nasdaq, which climbed above 10,000 points for the first time on Wednesday, gained 96.08 points, or 1%, to 9,588.81. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fared better than the rest of the market, climbing 31.46 points, or 2.3%, to 1,387.68. European markets closed mostly higher. Asian markets ended broadly lower. Bond yields rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury yield increased to 0.69% from 0.65% late Thursday. Oil prices ended mixed. Benchmark U.S. crude oil for July delivery fell 8 cents to settle at $36.26 a barrel. Brent crude oil for August delivery rose 18 cents to close at $38.73 a barrel.

Police disciplinary records are largely kept secret PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Officer Derek Chauvin had more than a dozen misconduct complaints against him before he put his knee on George Floyd’s neck. Daniel Pantaleo, the New York City officer who seized Eric Garner in a deadly chokehold, had eight. Ryan Pownall, a Philadelphia officer facing murder charges in the shooting of David Jones, had 15 over five years. But the public didn’t know about any of that until the victims’ deaths. Citizen complaints against police across the U.S. are largely kept secret, either under the law or by union contract — a practice some criminal justice experts say deprives the public of information that could be used to root out problem officers before it’s too late. In recent years, there have been dozens of examples of officers who had numerous complaints against them of excessive force, harassment or other misconduct before they were accused of killing someone on duty. Confidentiality “makes it really tough for the public to know just who it is they are dealing with and to know whether their department or any particular officer is one they would want out in the streets,” said David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor who studies police behavior. While the U.S. considers ways to reform American policing following the sometimes violent protests that erupted nationwide over Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, complaint data is getting renewed attention as a way to track and correct rogue officers and perhaps head off more serious instances of brutality. Both Democratic and Republican reform bills in Congress would make officers’ disciplinary records public and create a national database of allegations — a shift in political will that

didn’t exist just a few years ago. Police advocates argue that withholding allegations is necessary to protect officers’ privacy and keep them safe. Police unions have fought in contract negotiations and in state legislatures for confidentiality. In some cases, records are erased after as little as two years. “The unfettered release of police personnel records will allow unstable people to target police officers and our families for harassment or worse,” said Patrick Lynch, head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association in New York City. “A dangerous cop-hater only needs a police officer’s name, linked to a few false or frivolous complaints, to be inspired to commit violence.” Personal information on officers is already being leaked online, according to an intelligence document from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, obtained by The Associated Press. Police unions argue, too, that the overwhelming majority of complaints are deemed unsubstantiated after internal investigations. But that argument carries no weight with the many activists who say police departments tend to protect their own. Out of about 5,000 complaints brought against New York City officers last year for offenses such as discourtesy, excessive force and abuse of authority, 24% were substantiated, according to the city’s independent Civilian Complaint Review Board. Bowling Green State University criminologist Phil Stinson, who has collected data on thousands of police charged, investigated or convicted of crimes, said that most officers go through their careers with few complaints against them, and that generally a small percentage of officers account for an outsize share of complaints. Stinson recalled an Atlanta officer who had a personnel file full of

“frightfully similar” complaints from women of sexual misconduct. It wasn’t until his file was leaked to a local TV station that he faced any discipline. Around 40% of current New York City police officers have never received a civilian complaint, while 32% have one or two, and one officer has 52, the highest, according to the review board. In New York, Pantaleo, the officer who put Garner in a chokehold in 2014 but was not indicted in his death, had eight disciplinary cases of abuse and excessive force, four of which were substantiated. But his record was secret until a staff member at the review board leaked it. The staffer later resigned. New York legislators this week voted to repeal the law that kept officers’ names secret along with specifics about complaints made against them. The repeal passed largely along party lines, and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed it Friday. Chris Dunn, legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, rejected the notion, advanced largely by Republicans, that police disciplinary records should be kept private like medical information. “They have no privacy interest in acts of misconduct, in the use of force or the killing of civilians,” he said. “When a police officer walks out the door in uniform, they’re a public official, and all of their conduct should be subject to public scrutiny.” In Philadelphia, Pownall’s record was made public along with that of a few other officers named in hundreds of complaints after reporters filed freedom of information requests in 2018. As for Chauvin, who is charged with murder in Floyd’s death, his records became public after similar requests — and the details are still being withheld.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Building ramparts of secrecy around a $600 billion-plus coronavirus aid program for small businesses, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has moved from delay to denial in refusing outright to disclose the recipients of taxpayer-funded loans. Mnuchin told Congress at a hearing this week that the names of loan recipients and the amounts are “proprietary information.” While he claimed the information is confidential, ethics advocates and some lawmakers see the move as an attempt to dodge accountability for how the money is spent. Businesses struggled to obtain loans in the early weeks of the program, and several hundred publicly traded companies received loans despite their likely ability to get the money from private financial sources. Publicly shamed, a number of big corporations said they would return their loans. “Given the many problems with the program, it is imperative American taxpayers know if the money is going where Congress intended — to the truly small and unbanked small business,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday. “The administration’s resistance to transparency is outrageous and only serves to raise further suspicions about how the funds are being distributed and who is actually benefiting.” The Small Business Administration — an agency with about 3,200 employees and an annual budget shy of $1 billion — is shouldering the massive relief effort for U.S. small businesses and their employees left reeling by the economic punch of the pandemic. A signature piece of Congress’ multitrillion-dollar coronavirus rescue, and touted by President Donald Trump, the unprecedented lending program is intended to help small employers stay afloat and preserve jobs in a cratering economy losing tens of millions of them. About 10 weeks after the program was launched, the SBA says it has processed 4.5 million loans worth $511 billion. But it has yet to make public the recipients of taxpayer aid. The agency has only provided general information, such as the total amounts of loans awarded in a given time period. The loans can be forgiven if businesses use the money to keep employees on payroll or rehire workers who have been laid off.

South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, who heads a House subcommittee overseeing the Trump administration’s coronavirus response, said he intends to push vigorously for greater transparency in the wake of Mnuchin’s remarks. “Hiding recipients of federal funds is unacceptable and must end,” Clyburn, a Democrat, said in a statement to The Associated Press. “American taxpayers deserve to know if their money is being used to help struggling small businesses, as Congress intended, or instead is being siphoned off through waste, fraud and abuse.” At least one Republican lawmaker shared the frustration over Mnuchin shutting the door on the data. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri was angered after SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza told him that confidentiality also applies to Paycheck Protection Program loans made to Planned Parenthood or its affiliates. “We learned nothing new about what the SBA has been doing to rectify this, or if any of the funds have been paid back,” Hawley said in a statement Friday. “As far as we know, Planned Parenthood has taken $80 million in taxpayer money straight to the bank. It’s unacceptable and I won’t stop until I get answers.” Asked previously by news organizations for information on the companies receiving loans, the SBA has said it’s too consumed by the urgent effort of helping small businesses through the economic downturn to provide the data. It said specific loan data may be released “in the near future.” But Mnuchin ditched that ambiguous position this week, making it clear at a Senate hearing that the administration does not plan to disclose the recipient names and amounts. While the SBA administers the program, Mnuchin’s Treasury Department has ultimate control over it. “We believe that that’s proprietary information, and in many cases, for sole proprietors and small businesses, is confidential information,” Mnuchin said during the hearing by the Senate Small Business Committee. He said the emergency lending program is unlike SBA’s main traditional lending program, known as 7(a), for which the agency has regularly released information on businesses that have borrowed money. But he didn’t explain how it’s different.

Bridge The dying words of Crowfoot, a leader of the Siksika First Nation, were, "What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." This deal revolves around declarer's trying to get across the baize of the card table to gain access to winners in the dummy. How should South play in three no-trump after West leads the spade jack? Following West's modern weak two-bid, South doubled for takeout, hoping to find a heart fit. However, when North advanced with three clubs, South rebid three no-trump, showing a hand that had an

interest in other strains. (Either South should assume that his partner has 6 or 7 points, or North-South should employ the Lebensohl convention.) At first glance, this looks easy. Outside clubs, South has five winners, so four club tricks will be sufficient. Therefore, he takes the first trick in his hand and runs the club 10. It wins. Now he continues with the club queen, but West rudely discards a spade, and East unsportingly lets declarer hold the trick. How can South get back to the board once he has dislodged East's club king? Declarer plays a club to the ace and leads another club, discarding his remaining top spade. East shifts to the diamond nine. West takes the trick and returns a heart. South wins and leads a low diamond. West can take that trick, but now dummy's diamond jack is an entry, and the contract is safe.

Arizona wildfire threatens hundreds of homes TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Hundreds of foothills homes on the outskirts of Tucson remained under an evacuation notice Friday as firefighters supported by helicopters worked to keep a wildfire from moving downhill from canyons and ridges in mountains in a national forest. Most of the western United States is experiencing extreme dryness or drought, creating challenging conditions for wildfire season, Bryan Henry, meteorologist with the National Interagency Fire Center, said in a recent fire season outlook. Authorities have said southern Arizona’s dry, hot weather and the steep, rocky topography have been the main challenges in fighting the fire. Friday was the hottest day yet for crews fighting

the blaze, with temperatures forecast to reach 107 (41.6 Celsius) in the afternoon. Brian Francis, senior forecaster for the National Weather Service in Tucson, said temperatures were projected to remain in the triple digits through the weekend and into early next week with a slight chance of dry thunderstorms that bring only a trace of moisture but can kick up gusts of wind. Fire officials said the fire’s growth slowed overnight Thursday but that it remained a threat. Flames have been visible from Tucson at night, and smoke from the fire plumed over a suburb Friday morning. The firefighting effort will get help from Federal Emergency Management Agency, which officials say has granted Arizona’s

request for federal funds. Pima County officials on Thursday issued an evacuation notice for approximately 300 homes in a area south of the Coronado National Forest, and numerous other residents were told to prepare to evacuate. Over 400 firefighters battled the week-old lightning-sparked fire that as of Friday had burned 11 square miles (29 square kilometers) of mostly brush and tall grass. Fire officials said specialized crews were assessing potential threats to homes and other structures to identify access routes and develop contingency plans in case the fire spreads into residential areas. In the neighborhoods closest to the fire, sheriff’s deputies checked IDs to confirm that peo-

ple trying to enter were residents, as helicopters dropped water on hot spots. Sheriff’s officials went door to door in neighborhoods on Thursday to notify residences of the evacuation notice, which a sheriff’s spokesman said Friday wasn’t mandatory. “People are not required to leave, however we are telling people we may not be able to come back and assist if things start to burn,” said Deputy James Allerton. No injuries or structural damage was reported, Allerton said. Travis Mayberry, an operations section chief for the fire management team, said Friday much of the fire was burning in terrain too rugged for grounds crews to work safely, particularly if they needed to escape quickly.

Police shoot gunman sought in ambush LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man recently released from jail in Central California was shot and killed at the end of a 36-hour hunt that followed the shooting of a sheriff’s deputy and other attacks that wounded three other law enforcement officers. Mason James Lira, 26, was killed Thursday afternoon after he emerged from a brushy riverbed in Paso Robles where he’d hidden all night, climbed a steep hillside and ran toward a vineyard, authorities said. He had two stolen handguns and investigators found a box of ammunition, Paso Robles Police Chief Ty Lewis said. He clearly had been planning to attack police, possibly for days, the chief said. The specific motive for the attacks was under investigation but one thing was clear, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said: “He did want to shoot law enforcement.” Lira’s father told The Associated Press he thinks the shooting at the police station might have been a suicide attempt. Jose Lira said his son had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, Asperger’s syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He said his son has been in and out of jail and treatment centers, didn’t take his medication and often thinks he is a special agent or a soldier. “He lives in a fantasy world,” Jose Lira said. “He doesn’t have a beef with the police.” The series of attacks began before

dawn Wednesday when a gunman opened fire on the police station in Paso Robles, a wine and tourist town with little crime. County sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas Dreyfus, 28, was hit in the face when he and his partner answered a call for aid. Dreyfus underwent surgery Thursday and was in guarded condition. The attack followed the closerange shooting of a 58-year-old homeless man who was found on some railroad tracks nearby and evidence at the scene linked both shootings to the handguns found in Lira’s possession, Paso Robles Police Chief Ty Lewis said. “I know that the community has felt a lot of angst and a lot of fear,” he said. “And I’m glad that this is finally over.” Lira had been released from a jail in the Monterey area on June 3 after being arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and resisting arrest, Parkinson said. He may have been in the Paso Robles area for a week, and was seen at some local businesses, the police chief said. He is believed to have stolen the handguns in a commercial burglary in San Luis Obispo the day before the police station attack, authorities said. He also may have visited a large crawlspace under a downtown movie theater that was accessed by a storm drain and may have been the site of a transient camp, Lewis said. Ammunition was found there and Lira may have intended to retrieve

some of it for more attacks on police, authorities said. “I think ... he intended to continue,” Parkinson said. Over the course of the search, Lira opened fire from ambush several times and managed to evade hundreds of law enforcement officers, authorities said. “Every time that law enforcement got near to him, he engaged them in gunfire,” Lewis said. The search began after the police station attack. Wednesday night, he was spotted again. He hid in an apartment building, fired at officers at a gas station but managed to escape into the riverbed, authorities said. Overnight, police, San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s deputies, an FBI SWAT team and other law enforcement surrounded an area of the riverbed where Lira was believed to be hiding. They believed they had contained him and planned to begin a systematic search Thursday, Parkinson said. “We knew we had to search a very large area with a very dangerous person” and authorities didn’t want him escaping into nearby neighborhoods, he said. But shortly after 2 p.m., Lira came out of hiding and fired at surrounding officers. An Arroyo Grande police sergeant took a bullet through his calf, Parkinson said.

said some demonstrators violently targeted police, throwing projectiles and ignoring orders to disperse. Both have faced calls to resign. The judge said those objecting to police using violent tactics to break up protests make a strong case that the indiscriminate use of force is unconstitutional. Jones said it’s especially problematic during the coronavirus pandemic and that weapons like tear gas and pepper spray fail to target “any single agitator or criminal.” “Because they are indiscriminate, they may even spill into bystanders’ homes or offices as they have done before,” Jones wrote. The police and the mayor’s office didn’t immediately respond to calls seeking comment on the ruling. When the lawsuit was filed, Durkan’s office said it was “another step by the community to hold the city accountable for its response to the recent events.”

SEATTLE (AP) — A U.S. judge on Friday ordered Seattle police to temporarily stop using tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bang devices to break up peaceful protests, a victory for groups who say authorities have overreacted to recent demonstrations over police brutality and racial injustice in the liberal city. U.S. District Judge Richard Jones issued the two-week order after a Black Lives Matter group sued the Seattle Police Department this week to halt the violent tactics it has used to break up largely peaceful protests in recent days. Officers last weekend used tear gas, pepper spray and other force against crowds that have demonstrated following George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best have apologized to peaceful protesters who were subjected to chemical weapons. But Best has

”Ït’s not a great place for us to put people in to safely work,” he said. “Ït’s just too steep.”” Mayberry said crews continued to clear lines to keep the fire away from homes south of the forest and might set additional fires to burn vegetation to slow the wildfire by depriving it of potential fuel. In Oro Valley, on another side of the Santa Catalina mountains, dozens of people parked their vehicles Friday afternoon alongside State Route 77 to watch three helicopters battling flames descending the slopes as smoke poured into the sky. The fire, sparked June 5 by lightning, was only 10% contained as of Friday morning, and Mayberry said reaching full containment would be a slow process.

Nature Guide Journal: Low tides are opportunity MARTY GILES

Wavecrest Discoveries

May, June, and July are high times for low tides. Low tides expose the ocean bottom at its edge, drawing us landbased tidepoolers and clammers to the exposed rocks and sediments. We get many opportunities to visit such exposed areas, since we experience two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes, all year long. However, there are variations that expose more — or less — sea bottom. Most simply, tides occur because the skin of water on the surface of the earth is bulged out on one side by the gravitational pull of the moon. This bulge is balanced by a bulge on the opposite side of the earth. The paired bulges follow the moon as it slowly orbits the earth. (The gravitational pull of the sun also tugs on the water, but the sun is far enough away that its gravitational effect is less than the moon’s. Gravity pulls to make atmosphere and land tides, too, but we generally don’t notice them.) Basically, as we ride on the rotating earth we pass through a bulge (“high tide”) then out of a bulge (“low tide”), then pass through and out of the bulge on the other side (another high tide and another low tide) as we make a whole trip each day. While minute on a global scale, the bulges are usually significant in human terms. Here, for example, a bulge appears as a 6 – 10 foot change in the water level at land’s edge. The arrangement of the moon, sun, and earth affect the tides, as well as create the effect we see as the phases of the moon. Twice a month, the moon and sun are lined up with the earth enough for their gravitational pulls to effectively combine. When that happens, the bulges of water we rotate through are a little deeper — and the areas between the bulges are a little shallower — and we experience a greater difference between high and low tides. Such big-difference tides are “spring tides,” named for the springing effect, not for the season. Spring tides occur twice each month, during and just after full moons and new moons. “Neap tides” are the in-between tides, when the sun and moon aren’t

Different places on our planet experience somewhat different tide regimes primarily because the earth’s tilt and the moon’s orbit are a little off-kilter, and because of how the location, shape, and orientation of the land masses affect the bulge as we rotate through. In our part of the world, this all results in a set of two high tides (of different height) each day, and two low tides (of different height) each day: a higher high tide, a lower low tide, a lower high tide, and a higher low tide. The zero on tide tables is the average level of the lower low tides. Here in the northern hemisphere, spring and summer are the best seasons for tidepooling and clamming because the seasonal tilt of the planet and the meanderings of the moon combine to cause lower low tides during daylight hours. (During winter, the lower low tides aren’t quite as low and they’re in the evening.) The switch from lowest low tides in

the evening to lowest low tides in the morning takes place in April; in September we switch back to lowest low tides in the evening. Tide tables, by the way, are good predictions, but not perfect ones. Friction, water currents and local atmospheric pressure can all affect the precise time and level of local tides. But you can make your own very rough tide prediction: when you see a full moon or a new moon, think “spring tides”! Check local tide charts to find out when the low tides are and adjust accordingly, depending on your location. There are a series of minus tides from June 3-11; June 19-27; July 2-9; and July 19-25. June 6 at 8:51 a.m. (Coos Bay data) is the lowest tide of the year, at -2.0 feet. Sunday, June 7, -1.9 at 9:36 a.m. and Monday, June 8, -1.6 at 10:22 a.m. Giles is owner/operator of Wavecrest Discoveries, longest-running nature guiding service on the southern Oregon Coast.

The World BANDON — In Bandon, the senior meals program offers group lunches at the Bandon Community Center and Meals on Wheels delivery for homebound clients. The community center is among many group venues closed since March to slow the spread of the coronavirus. But, Bandon meals cook-manager Tracey Godfrey is still cooking and organizing essential meal service each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. “We want to keep seniors home as much as possible,” said Godfrey. “Homebound (clients) are our priority. Our congregate seniors can get out more, but we take care of them too.” On a recent Tuesday morning, Godfrey prepared a savory batch

Senior Meals, Bandon At noon on a typical Tuesday, the community center dining room hums with the sound of conversation as local seniors come together, catch up on neighborhood news, and share a hot lunch. The space is quiet these days. Participants arrive between 11 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. They take turns entering through the back door to pick up meals. Godfrey meets each individual or couple. She offers a quick greeting, then heads to the kitchen to bag the meal orders. Social distancing signs in the makeshift reception area remind everybody that safe-

ty is a priority. Godfrey said many of the regular diners are eager for more social time but worry about their health. Since COVID-19 symptoms are more severe for elders, and those with other health complications, it may be some time before the dining room is open again for congregate meals. “I’m glad to be here,” said Godfrey. “And I’m looking forward to getting back to normal.” In Coos and Curry counties, the Senior Nutrition Program is sponsored by the South Coast Business Employment Corporation through its Area Agency on Aging office. The program provides nutritious meals and healthy social interaction for residents age 60 or older and their spouses. Donations are invited Please see Nutrition, Page A2

tion, was “Smokey and the Bandit.” It introduced us to the Pontiac Trans Am. For over 25 years following that movie, I collected articles, pictures and books on the TA. I watched its styles and horsepower change. Finally, I found a late model in perfect shape, low miles and a great price. To everyone’s surprise, I brought it. At long last, a dream realized. Over the years, your Chamber has been the

source of many dreams realized. The Tourism Committee began with a focus to extend the seasons people come to visit us. They also believed tourism could become a significant part of our local economy. Their success has proved them right. Leadership Coos was formed to educate community members to the many facets of our area. It also had a goal to help produce the next set of community leaders. Today you find its

graduates leading local business, government and agencies. The Legislative Action Team (LAT), in 2020, actively participated in the legislative short session striving to balance the challenges for business and community. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an even shorter session than normal. During the long sessions, the LAT develops a strong relationship with our legislators through the OSCC Chamber Day at the capitol,

“We’ve had a tremendous amount of support from individuals, businesses and grants,” said Melissa Dovenspike, district director for Coos and Curry counties. “Our intent is to keep (seniors) home and safe as much as possible.” Right now, the program is offering additional meals to an increasing number of participants. On average, the senior meals program provides between 8,500 and 9,000 meals per month. The numbers increased to

12,000 meals in April and 16,000 in May. “We have requests coming from every town in Coos County and Curry County,” said Dovenspike. Congregate diners may request up to seven lunches per week. Homebound participants receive 14 meals per week. Breakfast bags are packed with morning snacks such as oatmeal, cold cereal and fruit juice. Along with lunches prepared by local cooks, frozen meals are also avail-

able in a variety of meat and vegetarian options. Staff and volunteers know food isn’t the only item seniors may need to stay comfortable while sheltering in place. Extras such as hospitality bags include toothpaste and other personal hygiene products. And, SCBEC coordinates with community partners such as health centers to help deliver other necessities. Additional weekly meals will continue until con-

twice monthly teleconferences with them which we sponsor with the college, use of the Voter Voice issue response system and direct contact with their offices. Besides the state work, your LAT is actively participating in many local issues, to make a difference for you as your voice in government. So, who will be the next “Legislative Action Team,” the new dream realized, of this Chamber year? Our communi-

ty has many needs and opportunities that you, as a chamber member, can make happen. Come on down and we will find the team for you. 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.)

Wood-Pelle gregate dining resumes. As Oregon relaxes social restrictions, businesses are re-opening and small gatherings are allowed in many Oregon counties. Re-starting group dining for seniors will depend on the number of COVID-19 cases reported in the coming weeks, according to Dovenspike. “All of the directors around the state are working together on a timeline,” she said. In the meantime,

additional volunteers are invited to assist with meal prep and delivery. Volunteers should have flexible schedules and must pass a DHS background test. Those interested in volunteering and those who would like to request home delivery should contact Tilyne Godinez at SCBEC, 541-269-2013.

OF ‘DIRTY JOHN’ ON USA NETWOTK Since you depict the life and eventually troubled times of Betty Broderick in great detail in Season 2 of “Dirty John,” had you known the true story behind them?

For whatever reason, I never heard the story, so my first impression was from Alexandra (executive producer Cunningham, who wrote the drama and also directed some of it). She was clearly intrigued by the question of how someone who seemed to have a normal suburban life and marriage, and to behave in a normal way, could go from that to becoming a murderer. She was deeply curious about how that happened.

The Artist Loft Gallery is now open The World COOS BAY — Come on in and explore the Artist Loft Gallery at 367 Anderson St. in downtown Coos Bay as they reopen their doors to the public. There is a lot to enjoy, from paintings in a variety of mediums to jewelry, sculptural wood pieces, gift cards and more — all by local artists. The month of June the gallery is featuring works by Carol Howald. Growing up in Alaska, Howald became well known for her oil and acrylic paintings of boats, landscapes, portraits and the local Tligit peoples. Since moving to Oregon in 2005, she has been busy with her own studio, freelance portrait work and teaching

Painting by Carol Howald, first place winning art, adult division, in the 2019 Port of Bandon Boardwalk Art Show art classes. She has had works on display at Coos Art Museum and is an

active member of Bay Area Artists’ Association. The Artist Loft Gallery is

honored to have her as a member. Also for June, gallery

organizers are thrilled to feature Charles Edmunds, “Charles of Charleston.” Unassuming, with a slight build and a twinkle in his eyes, Edmunds has humbly garnered the respect and adoration of the art community, as well as numerous awards. Besides his works on display at the Artist Loft Gallery, he has several pieces on permanent display at the Coos Art Museum. Edmunds is also an active member of Bay Area Artists’ Association and leads plein air groups throughout the year. Gallery members were saddened in May by the passing of one of their longtime members, Duffy Stender. Stender was a teacher at Marshfield High School for 25 years and during

that time developed his artisanship as a stone carver. After retirement, he broadened his talents to weaving beautiful pine needle baskets. Having spent his entire life in the Pacific Northwest, he was always drawn to the use of natural materials to express his art. Stop by and enjoy the display of his lovely work. The gallery is now open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It is doing its part to create a clean, safe environment for the public and maintain social distancing, with a large enough space to accommodate multiple visitors at a time. Masks are highly encouraged. Stop by and see what’s new at the Artist Loft Gallery. Everyone is welcome.

History conversation at North Bend library The World NORTH BEND — At 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 17, local historian Steve Greif and poet/memoirist Annis Cassells will hold a discussion on “The Intersection of History and Memoir.” This conversation is part of the North Bend Public Library’s Summer Reading Pro-

gram. Cassells began teaching memoir classes for senior adults in 2006. A summer resident of Coos Bay, she conducts a six-week summer writing workshop there. Her freelance work has been published in various local and hobbyist magazines and professional journals. In 2019, Cassells published

her first poetry collection, “You Can’t Have It All,” and she is currently working on her next volume of poetry. In July, Cassells will teach a three-part memoir class for North Bend Public Library. Greif has earned degrees in history from SWOCC, Oregon State University, and the University of Oregon.

He was a social studies teacher and coach for 32 years, mostly at North Bend High School. He was the inaugural “Distinguished Alumni” from SWOCC in 1992, won the “Excellence in Education Award” from the Oregon Education Association in 1996, and was named “Citizen of the Year” from the City of North Bend in

2005. Greif has written a two-volume U.S. history book for high school students, a book about the history of North Bend High School, and has taught local history classes for the Coos History Museum for several years. He has been a volunteer for the Coos History Museum since 1999. This discussion will be

held on Zoom. Register by going to https://tinyurl. com/y6v8rqff. For more information about this and other library programs, contact the North Bend Public Library at 541-756-0400 or see the website at http://northbendoregon. us/library. The library is located at 1800 Sherman Ave. North Bend.

Library hosts storytelling series for adults The World NORTH BEND — At 7 p.m. on Friday, June 19, the North Bend Public Library will present storyteller Steven Henegar live on Zoom and streaming on Youtube. His performance will be available for later viewing for one week. To

register for this event, go to https://tinyurl.com/y7ldk6o5. A Midwestern storyteller, Henegar celebrates the wonderful variety of stories people use to share their lives. He calls up the everyday and the fantastic to discover feelings and experiences that connect

everyone. The 25-year veteran performer and workshop leader blends the easy conversation of his family’s storytelling with incisive imagery shaped by a decade in the theater as an actor, writer and director. For more information, go to https://www. stevenhenegar.com/.

This performance will be the first of three concerts aimed at adult viewers. The material presented will be appropriate for children, but in Henegar’s words, “It’s useful to have spent a little more time in the world to appreciate the stories.” This series, called

“Stories at Seven,” is in celebration of the summer reading program theme, “Imagine Your Story.” On July 10, True Thomas will tell legends, and on July 24, Emmy Award-winning teller Jim May will finish the series with true and not-so-true stories. For more information
