NORTH BEND — Starting tonight, the City of North Bend won’t have police coverage from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

At least, there will be no coverage provided by the North

Lakeside council approves ATV trail

Bend Police Department. “… As in the early days of the west, you and your deputies are once again the only line of defense between the community and lawlessness,” wrote Terence O’Connor, North Bend City Manager, in a letter to Coos County Sheriff Craig Zanni, notifying him about the loss of police coverage at night in the city.

Last week, the City of North Bend hoped to move forward with an inter-governmental agreement or request for Coos

Bay Police to provide temporary or limited police services for 90 days, according to Coos Bay City Manager Rodger Craddock. But Craddock said that on Friday last week he was notified by O’Connor that “due to a contractual dispute with the Mill Casino and Hotel, (the city) had to withdraw ….”

The rollback on all services from the North Bend Police Department came after the North Bend City Council approved its 2020-2021 budget last month.

Budget cuts from the reduced public safety fee led to five officers being laid off from the NBPD, as well as two open positions being dissolved. This leaves approximately 12 officers on staff.

The reduction to the public safety fee came after a public vote in the May election, lowering the fee from $30 to $15. This reduced the amount the city receives from the fee by $785,000.

On Friday, Sheriff Zanni received the letter from O’Con-

nor regarding what the city now faced.

“We had discussed the possibility of the CCSO providing North Bend coverage between (11 p.m. and 7 a.m.),” O’Connor wrote. “The concern being one that the city had contractual obligations to The Mill Casino and Hotel for police and emergency services which they paid for and would need to be continued.

City now awaits decision from OPRD AMY MOSS STRONG The World

LAKESIDE — The Lakeside City Council voted 5-2 in favor of a resolution authorizing ATV riders to use a designated trail, allowing travel back and forth inside city limits to Spinreel Campground.

On June 23, Councilors Debbie Rose, Danny Gonsalves, Shauleen Higgins and Alan Pointer, and Mayor James Edwards voted in favor of the resolution. Councilors Mike Smith and Tim Miller voted against it.

Now the issue goes before the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s All-Terrain Vehicle Highway Access Routes Advisory Committee, which is soliciting public comments on the proposed ATV access route.

The proposed segment of Spinreel Road is a 1/2-mile stretch that runs from the U.S. Highway 101 overpass to Airport Way. If designated, the segment would provide ATV access between Lakeside and the Spinreel dunes.

The issue has been ongoing and controversial among residents for some time, to the point that recently some businesses and individuals said they’ve been harassed and even threatened when they put up signs in their yards in favor of the ATV route.

Following a survey by the city, it appears residents who responded are split on the matter almost evenly.

Proponents say allowing ATV riders, both residents and visitors, to drive to and from Spinreel Campground would boost the economy — especially needed this year as the COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses to shutter for the past three months. If riders could come into town, they’d eat at local establishments and spend time and money in town.

Governor Brown extends face covering requirements statewide starting Wednesday The World PORTLAND — Governor Kate Brown announced Monday that Oregonians statewide will be required to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces, beginning this Wednesday, July 1. The guidance applies to businesses and members of the public visiting indoor public spaces.

Face covering requirements are already mandated in eight counties.

Children under 12 years of age, as well as people with a disability or a medical condition that prevent them from wearing a face covering, are not required to wear one.

“From the beginning of the reopening process, I have said that reopening comes with the risk of seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases beyond our health systems’ capacity to test, trace and isolate them,” said Gov. Brown. “Over the last month, we have seen the

“Please keep your Fourth of July celebrations small and local.

“Oregonians have all made incredible sacrifices over the last several months that have saved thousands of lives. The actions we take now can protect our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and fellow Oregonians from this disease, and prevent the need for another statewide shutdown. We are truly all in this together.”

Oregon Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) will take the lead, along with other state and local agencies, in enforcing face covering requirements for all covered Oregon businesses.

Two die when boat capsizes on Siuslaw River Victims owned popular Novelli’s Crab & Seafood in Florence The World FLORENCE — A wellknown Florence couple died when the fishing vessel they were on sank in the Siuslaw River bar early Monday morning.

At approximately 1:50 a.m., Coast Guard watchstanders at Sector North Bend received a distress call from the captain of F/V Aquarius, a commercial crabbing vessel, stating all crew members were abandoning ship, according to a press release from the U.S. Coast Guard 13th District PA Detachment, Astoria. The vessel had struck the south jetty in the Siuslaw River bar and was beginning to take on water.

Shortly thereafter, the 13th District command center received a signal from the vessel’s Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB).

An MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter crew from Air Facility Newport launched and arrived on scene at 2:50 a.m.

Office

Rescue crews from Station Siuslaw River and Station Umpqua River were also underway to assist with the search.

Siuslaw Valley Fire Rescue and Western Lane Ambulance, along with members from Station Siuslaw River searched from shore. One individual was located and rescued near the shoreline. He was able to confirm that two others were onboard the vessel with him when it sank.

The helicopter crew located a second person, who was unresponsive, and hoisted them into the aircraft. They were brought to awaiting EMS at Florence Municipal Airport.

At approximately 7 a.m., the final person was located. With the assistance of the helicopter rescue swimmer, the individual, who was also unresponsive, was brought aboard the Station Siuslaw River boat and then brought to awaiting EMS. Conditions on scene were reported as 6 to 8-foot seas with occasional 10-foot waves, breaking at the bar.

The two who died were reported to be Kyle and Amber Novelli of Florence. In addition to commercial crabbing, their business was Novelli’s Crab and Seafood on the

cer-in-charge of Station Siuslaw River. “Together with our partner agencies we strive to prevent the loss of life for those who go to sea. This community is a family that embraces us, as we embrace everyone who crosses the bar for a living, or to recreate on the ocean. We are reminded during these times, that the ocean is unforgiving, and can be a treacherous place to work and recreate. We will continue to support our community and do all we can to keep those safe who go to sea for their livelihood or pleasure.”

“This highly unfortunate loss of two members of our close community deeply saddens all of us.

We continue to stand by you in this time of need and healing. We could not continue to be strong and successful without our partnerships with Siuslaw Valley Fire Rescue and Western Lane Ambulance, who both assisted us in safely recovering one survivor from the tragic incident at sea, and getting him to a higher level of medical care at a rapid pace,” said Nilles.

“Without today’s technology of VHF-FM radio communications and an EPIRB, we would not

have been able to quickly locate the scene of distress, followed by the location of survivors and victims.

This highlights the need for life-saving equipment on our commercial fishing fleet as we continue our mission to make commercial fishing safer for everyone.”

Tim Novotny, communications manager for the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission also offered condolences on behalf of the Commission and others in the crab industry.

“We are heartbroken

today,” Novotny said.

“The Novelli’s have been friends and passionate champions of the Oregon Dungeness crab industry for a long time, both as fishermen and with their shop on the Florence docks. This news hit us like a gut punch. It really did. Sadly, their tragic loss is not the first suffered by our industry. It is another terrible reminder of the unforgiving nature of the ocean, and indicative of the kinds of challenges our courageous fishermen face every day.”

travel as much as possible … keep it to essential travel,” she advised, referencing the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. “Cases are increasing across the nation … in Oregon and our own backyard …. Even though we all like a good barbecue, now is not the time to do that. We need to stay within our households and not have cross contamination.”

Edwards emphasized that the current cases being seen in the area are a direct result of traveling either outside of Coos County or outside the state.

“We’re seeing a direct result of taking those kind of risks and want to encourage people to be cautious because we don’t want to see this trend continue with the spread of cases,” she said.

According to CHW’s

epidemiologist Brian Leon, the new presumptive positive case is connected to the overall “cluster” that was seen last week after a family traveled to Portland.

This new presumptive positive individual was already on CHW’s radar when they developed symptoms “that met the criteria to be a presumptive case — fever and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing,” he said.

Also on Monday, Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced a new statewide requirement to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces. This new mandate will begin on Wednesday, July 1.

“The guidance applies to businesses and members of the public visiting indoor public spaces,” read a press release from Brown’s office.

“From the beginning of the reopening process, I have said that reopening comes with the risk of seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases beyond our health systems’ capacity to test, trace, and isolate them,” said Governor Kate Brown in the release. “Over the last month, we have seen the disease spread at an alarming rate in both urban and rural counties. The upcoming July 4th holiday weekend is a critical point for Oregon in this pandemic, and we can all make a difference. “… The actions we take now can protect our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and fellow Oregonians from this disease, and prevent the need for another statewide shutdown.

Ice Plant on track for August reopening COOS BAY — The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay remains on track for an August reopening of the reconstructed Charleston Ice Plant.

Access to commercial grade flake ice is critical to certain west coast fisheries, including whiting, shrimp and squid. As the third largest fishing hub in the State of Oregon, it was critical that the Port took immediate action to begin efforts to rebuild the facility following the fire that destroyed the former ice plant in late December of 2019, according to a press release from the Port.

The Port will be adding significant ice making and storage capacity at the new facility to ensure adequate access for resident and traveling fishing fleets. Storage capacity will increase from 115 to 158 tons and

production from 2 to 5 tons per hour.

The added production will improve service delivery time in the high seasons, allowing fleets to operate more efficiently and avoid delay times, stated the release.

The new facility is tak-

ing form, with completion of the structure that will house the ice-making equipment and first floor walls of the structure erected. This week, the Port’s contractor will finish installation of floor joists in the second floor and installation of the

floor of the second level of the structure. Upon completion of the second story floor, crews will be lifting equipment skids to the second floor of the facility to construct the walls and roof of the second floor of the ice plant.

Work that remains is internal finishes, including welding, electrical, plumbing, the security system, fire suppression equipment and roofing and siding.

“The contractors have been working very efficiently and doing a great

job,” said Rick Adamek, project manager for the Port, “They have really been looking out for the best interest of the Port and the commercial and recreational fishing fleets that will be utilizing the facility.”

“After working tirelessly for the past seven months, we are very excited to see completion of the Ice Plant coming to fruition,” said Brandon Collura, Charleston harbormaster.

“We are highly anticipating the grand reopening of our new, state of the art facility, and once again offering this much needed resource at the Charleston Marina Complex.”

The commercial fishing fleet is the economic backbone of Charleston. As a primary economic driver for the region and state, the Port continues its firm commitment to the fleets in ensuring that essential resources are available, the release stated.

For hospitalization and survival statistics, visit OHA’s Demographics and Disease Severity Statewide Summary table.

The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported Monday are in the following counties: Clackamas (18), Deschutes (2), Douglas (2), Jackson (3), Jefferson (3), Josephine (1), Klamath (5), Lake (2), Lane (6), Malheur (5), Marion (14), Multnomah (29), Tillamook (2), Umatilla (15), Union (5), Wasco (6), Washington (27), and Yamhill (1).

Oregon’s 203rd COVID-19 death is an 84-year-old woman in Marion County who tested positive on June 18 and died on June 27. Her place

of death is being confirmed. She had underlying medical conditions.

Oregon’s 204th COVID-19 death is a 72-year-old man in Marion County who tested positive on June 17 and died on June 27. His place of death is being confirmed. He had underlying medical conditions.

Over the weekend, more than 500 new cases were reported statewide, with one new death.

As of Sunday, in Coos County, there had been 40 COVID-19 cases, no deaths and 2,594 people have tested negative. In Douglas County, there have been 38 cases, no deaths and 4,783 people have tested negative.

In Curry County, there have been seven cases, no deaths and 657 people have tested negative.

Note: Starting today and moving forward, epidemiologists are using a new method for reporting daily cases. The new method assigns a date to each case when the case is first known to the state or to local health department as confirmed or presumptive.

This is a better representation of the number of cases reported on any given day.

Previously, the method was to subtract today’s case counts from the previous day’s count.

Today only, the daily numbers from the weekend press releases will not add-up. Weekend numbers were calculated using the previous method. Moving forward, every day will use the date each case is first known to the state or to

local health departments.

OHA releases weekly testing summary On Monday, OHA is releasing its Weekly Testing Summary, showing that 33,624 tests were reported through June 27. Oregon’s cumulative positive testing rate is 4.3 percent of tests conducted, which is considerably lower than the national average of 9 percent.

The number of tests performed has been steadily increasing, but the number of positive cases and the test positivity rate have increased significantly over the past two weeks.

This suggests increasing numbers of individuals with COVID-19, which is expected now that all counties are in Phase 1 or Phase 2 of reopening.

Recent large outbreaks around the state also have contributed to these increases.

OHA will continue

to monitor these trends.

Additionally, as of early June, Oregon has reached the threshold of testing 2% of the Oregon population each month, a national benchmark set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Weekly Testing Summary was delayed Friday due to a technical glitch. As a result, today’s Weekly Testing Summary covers an 8-day period.

OHA will continue to publish the report weekly.

PORTLAND — COVID-19 has claimed two more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 204, the Oregon Health Authority reported Monday.

Oregon Health Authority reported 146 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Monday, bringing the state total to 8,485.

A presumptive positive result is when a patient has tested positive by a public health laboratory, but results are pending confirmation at CDC. For public health purposes, a presumptive positive result using the CDC test is treated as a positive.

Garbage can fires reported in Empire Authorities ask for the public’s help with the investigation Jillian Ward The World

EMPIRE — Multiple garbage can fires were lit in the Empire area Monday morning.

Though it’s been a few years since the Coos Bay Fire Department has seen activity like this, there are

no suspects at this time.

The public is being asked to report information on the incidents.

According to Coos Bay Fire Chief Mark Anderson, all the fires were lit before 9 a.m. on Monday. “…Someone was acting badly, whether they were in the wrong mental state or having a bad morning, (the fires) were minor in nature but it is criminal mischief,” he said, adding that there was no significant damage and no injuries. “…(If) people get away

with small things, small things become bigger things,” Anderson said.

To report information on the fires, call the CBFD at 541-269-1191 or the Coos Bay Police Department at 541-269-8911.

Anderson issued a reminder for the public to stay safe this upcoming Fourth of July weekend with fireworks and the pandemic restrictions.

“This is an unusual and historically different time and we encourage people to enjoy themselves responsibly,” he said.

Body pulled from river in Roseburg The World ROSEBURG — On Monday, June 29, just after 8:15 a.m., a citizen reported seeing a human body floating face down in the South Umpqua River, just west of Micelli Park in Roseburg, according to a press release from the Roseburg Police Department.

Emergency personnel from the Roseburg Police Department, Roseburg Fire Department, Douglas County District No. 2 Fire Department and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area.

They found an adult female, deceased, in the water about 25-30 feet from the shore.

Personnel from District No. 2 Fire were able to recover the body with their boat.

The adult female has been positively identified, but her identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The Douglas County Medical Examiner took possession of the body. The female was fully clothed and there were no obvious signs of external physical injury. The investigation is ongoing, but at this time there is nothing to indicate foul play was involved.

BEN KENFIELD Publisher

Political grief on top of fear, depression and economic loss Froma Harrop COVID-19 is not at all over and shows every sign of staging a return. We’ve been through a lot of fear, depression, and losses of income and loved ones. Much can’t be changed, but the leadership can, from sloppy governors to President Donald Trump at the top of the heap. Trump seems not just incapable of forming a rational response to a virus but also uninterested in doing so -- and the public seems to know it.

He’s thrust a broken-country model on America whereby the ruling family directs the country’s resources to its close relatives and assorted hangers-on.

Protective barriers to corruption have been junked. It’s been astounding to see the president remove five inspectors general including the top Pentagon watchdog assigned to lead the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee -- assigned to oversee the $2 trillion in taxpayer money set aside to revive the economy.

Trump or no Trump, the United States was destined to get badly hit by the coronavirus.

It didn’t have to become the epicenter, however, of both disease and social dysfunction that followed. It would have taken an extraordinary leader to respond wisely to both the anger unleashed by George Floyd’s murder and the opportunistic looting that followed while dealing with a health threat. Our leader doesn’t rise to even ordinary.

I’m trying to remain the optimistic sort. Some promising treatments for the often-deadly virus are advancing. A vaccine that would stop it in its tracks is bound to arrive. But the greatest hope right now rests on Nov. 3, when Americans have an opportunity to supplant the president and his ramshackle administration with competence.

For the time being, we are a nation beaten down by a sea of troubles. The deadly pathogen seems intent on making that second round as parts of the country abandon the discipline that curbed the caseloads in the first place.

Sweden tried and failed to beat this thing by leaving businesses and schools largely open: The plan was to let enough people get the virus to build herd immunity. Oh, how we wish Sweden’s low-pain experiment would have worked. Now Sweden’s per-capita death toll is among the world’s highest.

The irony of immigration Steven V. Roberts

FROMA HARROP That’s not happening in the European Union, which is reopening in a slow and careful manner. And it’s not happening here in states that continue to impose rules for mask wearing and social distancing.

But it is happening in Florida, which has offered its population as the Swedish-style control group to see what happens when government mostly ends restrictions on bars and beach crowds.

As Florida’s number of cases spike to new records, Gov. Ron DeSantis has further vowed not to reassert restrictions. Added to the mix is the state’s large elderly population, a group especially threatened by the virus.

Arizona reopened a month ago and has just reported an all-time high number of cases as well as numbers of COVID patients in the ICU. Same story in Texas, which prematurely entered its “third phase” of reopening way back at the beginning of June.

In a show of blatant ignorance, Vice President Mike Pence has blamed some of these rising numbers on an increase in testing. Actually, New York, which does more per-capita testing than any other state, now reports that only 1.1 percent of tests were positive for COVID on a seven-day average. Texas has a 7.9 percent positive rate, and in Florida, it is 7 percent.

Another virus wave is not going to help any economy’s bottom line or the well-being of its people. New polls reflect public recognition of that fact. They suggest Americans are about to replace Trump, providing good news at last.

John Bolton, the former national security adviser, writes in his new book that President Trump makes decisions based on only one calculation: his own political self-interest.

Talking to George Stephanopoulos on ABC, Bolton warned about the serious dangers of a second Trump term: “The biggest fear I have is that his policymaking is so incoherent, so unfocused, so unstructured, so wrapped around his own personal political fortunes, that mistakes are being made that will have grave consequences for the national security of the United States.”

Trump’s already making many mistakes with “grave consequences” for the national interest. One of the most debilitating is his severe crackdown on foreigners seeking to immigrate here, whether to find economic opportunity or to flee persecution.

This is being done for only one purpose: to stir up Trump’s base for the fall election by exploiting nativist fears and demonizing “the others.” There’s nothing new about this strategy. Trump announced his run for president by denouncing supposed hordes of Mexican “rapists” pouring across the border, and during the 2018 midterm elections, he tried -- and failed -to scare voters with a nightmare “caravan” of criminals invading from the south.

Now the COVID-19 pandemic has given the president and his hardline advisers an opening to seal up our borders and slam shut the “golden door” of American promise. That might appeal to his most xenophobic supporters, but it could also be self-defeating: Halting immigration threatens to throttle the economic recovery Trump is counting on to sway voters in November.

The administration’s latest moves would cut off work visas to hundreds of thousands of foreigners -- mainly in the technology world, but potentially also affecting sectors from landscap-

STEVEN A ROBERTS ing and hospitality to medicine and higher education. Team Trump claims they’re protecting jobs for out-of-work Americans, and yes, a lot of families are hurting badly. But that argument profoundly misreads the nature of immigration and the contributions newcomers make to the economy.

On balance, immigrants are job makers, not job takers. Their energy and entrepreneurship fuel America’s economic engines.

And their taxes subsidize the social services enjoyed by aging white Trump voters.

That’s why the business community reacted so furiously to Trump’s new rules. Here’s Thomas J. Donohue, chief executive of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: “Putting up a ‘not welcome’ sign for engineers, executives, IT experts, doctors, nurses and other workers won’t help our country; it will hold us back. Restrictive changes in our nation’s immigration system will push investment and economic activity abroad, slow growth and reduce job creation.”

Or Jessica Herrera-Flanigan, head of public policy and philanthropy for Twitter: “This proclamation undermines America’s greatest economic asset: its diversity. Unilaterally and unnecessarily stifling America’s attractiveness to global, highskilled talent is short-sighted and deeply damaging to the economic strength of the United States.”

Even some of Trump’s closest political allies realize the “deeply damaging” impact of his policy.

Last month, nine Republican

senators warned the president that “Guest workers are needed to boost American business, not take American jobs.” One of them, Lindsey Graham, tweeted after the rules were finalized that they would “create a drag on our economic recovery.”

But Trump is clearly not listening, because he has another agenda: weaponizing the COVID-19 crisis and virtually abolish the entire immigration system. For instance, new rules make it almost impossible for refugees or asylum seekers to gain entry into this country, even though American law and tradition commit the nation to providing a safe haven for the world’s most desperate and destitute exiles.

As Nickole Miller, an immigration expert at the University of Baltimore law school, wrote in The Washington Post: “The cumulative effect of these rules will be to effectively rewrite the refugee definition out of existence and end asylum in the United States.”

Moreover, the administration has halted the issuance of green cards, key documents immigrants need on their path to citizenship.

It has blocked more than 2,000 children at the southern border, many of them under 13, from even applying for refugee status.

And although the Supreme Court thwarted Trump’s attempt to cancel the DACA program, which bars the deportation of about 700,000 “Dreamers” who were brought here as children, the president has signaled he will look for another way to abolish those safeguards.

Bolton is right: By focusing solely on his own political fortunes, Trump risks making decisions that could have “grave consequences” for the country.

But here’s the irony: By restricting immigration, Trump could be undermining the best argument he has for his own reelection -- a robust economic recovery.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Now for the why Last week I wrote about what I observed during the May primary election.

More than a decade ago, the signature on my returned vote envelope was rejected and I was contacted by the Coos County Clerk to resolve the matter. I didn’t. I did, however, go in months later to file a new signature card. My failure to act has stayed with me.

Then, in the 2012 Coos Commissioner election, Bob Main won by 14 votes over Fred Messerle.

An article in The World showed the demographic breakdown of county voting, so I decided to build a math lesson around those results for my 6th grade class. We were studying Rates, Percentages and Ratios.

12,664 to 12,650 made for 50.02% to 49.97% election result lesson.

What I discovered was our children were not aware of what County Commissioners did or how government functioned. I decided to change that and designed a class election for three commissioner positions, a county clerk, recorder, and sheriff. I would act as legal counsel.

Elections were held quarterly.

No campaigning allowed. The stage was set.

Throughout each week, a ‘Proposed Agenda’ was available on the

whiteboard where students could list their concerns. On Wednesday mornings, commissioners would pick three topics for the agenda, and the chair would determine order of address.

I created a PowerPoint™ template for meetings with SmartBoard™ technology so the County Recorder could make a visual record of each meeting. It was archived at the end of each meeting which were Wednesdays from 11:10 to 11:30, our lunch time.

Students learned first-hand how to make a motion, discuss, and move previous question. They also learned that votes had to reconcile. They voted on several issues.

One, if a person talked without recognition, the sheriff issued the out of order person, a one-minute recess fine. Yes, I spent a minute or two ‘on the fence’ during morning recess.

Once I was called into the principal’s office because a parent complained that I didn’t allow their child to read a novel during meetings. I explained that the issue had been taken up by students and after much discussion, voted to not allow drawing or reading during their twenty-minute meetings. The class determined that making an informed vote was critical which included voting to abstain.

A 6th grade lesson for all of us.

Vote. Vote informed.

Your vote saves our Democracy.

Laurie Powrie Myrtle Point This is about Alonzo Tucker After reading the rebuttal to my letter of June 20th, regarding the 1902 lynching of Alonzo Tucker in Marshfield (as it was then called), I did an online search to try validating details my source had provided.

Steven Greif, a Coos History Museum board member, co-wrote the rebuttal with Richard Wagner, who has authored a book about Louis Jerome Simpson. They claim I passed on false information change.org had given me, regarding Pat Hennessy’s and Louis Simpson’s alleged role in this incident. Fair enough.

In the early 20th century, a black man could hardly so much as look at a white woman, much less give her eye contact, without being accused of “assault”. This was the case throughout the south and even in certain areas of the north, like Coos County, Oregon. I can’t prove it of course, but my hunch is, Alonzo Tucker was no rapist.

My skepticism goes to the accuser, not the accused. In an environment that insanely hostile towards blacks, where black men were commonly viewed as rapists or

potential rapists, justice for Alonzo Tucker was virtually impossible.

And like the deaths of countless other blacks to have occurred since 1902, all over nothing.

Rest in peace Alonzo.

My husband and I spent hours online, trying to dig up evidence that change.org was right, that Louis Simpson was the lynch mob’s ringleader and Pat Hennessy was the man who shot Alonzo Tucker.

There may have been some truth to their claim about Hennessy, indicated in the September 28, 1902 issue of the Coquille City Herald, where Hennessy is mentioned “shouldering his rifle”. But even from archived newspaper articles published in 1902, within days of the incident, Louis Simpson is never mentioned.

I owe Steven Greif and Richard Wagner each an apology, along with everyone who read my letter.

Never again shall I trust any one source to provide a factually accurate account, of anything I wish to comment on. The last thing I’d want to do is water down a story like this with fictitious BS, or unwittingly slander someone who lived and died before I was even born. I don’t want to discredit myself either.

But most importantly, this is about Alonzo Tucker. It’s about having enough respect for the man, and for what he suffered in his final moments, to be as factually accurate as possible about those events leading to his horrible death.

Golden State killer gets life in prison TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2020 | A5

The World

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — Gay Hardwick stood arm-in-arm with her husband to face a criminal dubbed the Golden State Killer and couldn’t recognize the elderly man hunched in a wheelchair as the sadistic rapist who had terrorized them 42 years earlier.

In a hushed and raspy voice, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. — a serial rapist before he became a serial killer — acknowledged in two words, “I admit,” that he had attacked the couple in 1978 as he pleaded guilty Monday to 13 murders, and admitted dozens of rapes and crimes too old to be prosecuted as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty.

“It was the clenched teeth

and, you know, the breathy voice, so there really wasn’t any resemblance — there isn’t any resemblance to the old man that sits before us today,” Gay Hardwick said.

“I’m not sure that a lot of that isn’t feigned.”

DeAngelo, who hid behind a ski mask during his crimes, sat behind a clear plastic shield to allow surviving victims and their families to see his face even as they wore masks to prevent possible spread of the coronavirus. The court hearing was held at a Sacramento State University ballroom to accommodate more than 150 observers at a safe distance during the pandemic.

The seemingly frail and feeble 74-year-old ex-

cop, who once busted into bedrooms spewing expletives and threatening to use a .357 Magnum to blow the heads off anyone who moved, seemed lost as he turned to his lawyer each time a prosecutor recited the lurid details of attacks that terrified a swath of Northern California in the 1970s.

But where some saw a frail and confused man, others saw a master manipulator.

The day before his arrest in 2018, DeAngelo weaved his motorcycle through freeway traffic to lose police who were tailing him, prosecutors said. When he appeared in a court two days later, he looked like the lost man who listed sideways Monday with his mouth half

open.

“I’m extremely angry that he’s up there acting as if he can’t even remember,” Jennifer Carole, whose father, attorney Lyman Smith, was slain in 1980 with his wife, Charlene Smith, who was raped before being killed in Ventura. “I feel a lot of anger, which I don’t think I’ve felt so powerfully before.”

Carole wept as a prosecutor described how her father and stepmother were bludgeoned with a fire log.

A pile of used tissues was on the floor next to her chair.

DeAngelo, a Vietnam veteran and a grandfather, had never been on investigators’ radar until just before his arrest.

About a decade after the last killing, they connected

a series of assaults in central and Northern California to slayings in Southern California and settled on the Golden State Killer nickname for the mysterious assailant.

Police used DNA from crime scenes to find a distant relative through a popular genealogy website database then built a family tree that eventually led them to him.

They secretly collected DNA from his car door and a discarded tissue to get an arrest warrant.

The retired truck mechanic was arrested at his home in the Sacramento suburbs — the same area he terrorized in the mid-1970s, earning the title East Area Rapist.

DeAngelo did not cooperate with authorities. But

he muttered a confession of sorts after his arrest that cryptically referred to an alter ego named “Jerry” he said forced him to commit the wave of crimes that appeared to end abruptly in 1986.

“I did all that,” DeAngelo said to himself while alone in a police interrogation room after his arrest in April 2018, Sacramento County prosecutor Thien Ho said.

“I didn’t have the strength to push him out,” DeAngelo said. “He made me. He went with me. It was like in my head, I mean, he’s a part of me. I didn’t want to do those things. I pushed Jerry out and had a happy life. I did all those things. I destroyed all their lives. So now I’ve got to pay the price.”

(AP) - AMC Theaters, the nation’s largest chain, is pushing back its plans to begin reopening theaters by two weeks following the closure because of COVID-19. The company said Monday that it would open approximately 450 U.S. locations on July 30

and the remaining 150 the following week.

The company had planned to begin opening theaters in mid-July, but last week the July theatrical release calendar was effectively wiped clean when Disney and Warner Bros. decided to delay the

releases of “Mulan” and “Tenet” to August dates.

AMC CEO and President Adam Aron said that its general managers across the U.S. started working full time Monday to get their buildings ready to reopen.

“We continue to devote

extraordinary resources into our plan to operate our theatres with a hyper commitment to the safety and health of our guests and associates,” Aron said in a statement.

Most indoor U.S. theaters have been closed since mid-March because

of the coronavirus pandemic. But both independent locations and major chains are readying to reopen within the next month.

However plans could continue to change given the surge of cases in a number of states. Last

week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York would delay reopening cinemas while it continued to research the safety of indoor, air-conditioned venues.”

AMC expects its approximately 1,000 worldwide locations to be open by early August.

(AP) - Starbucks is the latest company to say it will pause social media ads after a campaign led by civil rights organizations called for an ad boycott of Facebook, saying it doesn’t do enough to stop racist and violent content.

Starbucks said Sunday that its actions were not part of the “#StopHateforProfit” campaign, but that it is

pausing its social ads while talking with civil rights organizations and its media partners about how to stop hate speech online.

The coffee chain’s announcement follows statements from Unilever, the European consumer-goods giant behind Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Dove soap; Coca-Cola; cellphone company Verizon

and outdoors companies like Patagonia, Eddie Bauer and REI; film company Magnolia Pictures; jeans maker Levi’s and dozens of smaller companies. Some of the companies will pause ads just on Facebook, while others will refrain from advertising more broadly on social media.

In response to companies halting advertising,

Facebook executive Carolyn Everson said earlier this week the social networking platform is committed to purging hateful content from its services.

“Our conversations with marketers and civil rights organizations are about how, together, we can be a force for good,” said Everson, vice president of Facebook’s global business group.

Facebook’s market value dropped Friday by more than 8%, or about $50 billion, as more companies said they would pause ads.

Twitter stock also dropped more than 7% Friday.

Sarah Personette, vice president of global client solutions at Twitter, said Friday the company’s “mission is to serve the public conversation and

ensure Twitter is a place where people can make human connections, seek and receive authentic and credible information, and express themselves freely and safely.”

She added that Twitter is “respectful of our partners’ decisions and will continue to work and communicate closely with them during this time.”

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Mississippi flag is fading from public display in many places, even before the governor signs a bill that will retire the last state banner in the U.S. that includes the Confederate battle emblem.

A broad coalition of legislators passed the landmark bill Sunday after a weekend of emotional debate.

On Monday, a U.S. flag fluttered outside the state Supreme Court building and a pole for the state flag

stood vacant. Several local governments also furled the 126-year-old state banner.

“In the middle of a pandemic, we — the legislators of the state of Mississippi — decided that it was past time to remove the flag,” Democratic state Rep. Oscar Denton of Vicksburg said Monday as he stood on the Capitol steps with other Legislative Black Caucus members.

Widespread protests in the past month have focused attention on racial injustice

in the U.S., and Mississippi came under increasing pressure to surrender the flag that has the Confederate emblem — a red field topped by a blue X with 13 white stars.

A few supporters of the flag marched outside the Mississippi Capitol with it Saturday and Sunday.

Inside the building, dozens of spectators cheered and some wept with happiness after legislators voted to change the flag. Senators on opposite sides of the issue

embraced.

Republican Gov. Tate Reeves is expected to sign the flag bill this week, and the banner will be removed from state law. It still flew Monday on two poles atop the Capitol, signaling that the House and Senate were working.

White supremacist legislators put the Confederate

emblem on the upper-left corner of the Mississippi flag in 1894, as white people were squelching political power that African Americans had gained after the Civil War. The Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups have used the rebel emblem, and critics have said for generations that it’s wrong for a state with a 38% Black

population to have the image on its flag.

In a 2001 statewide election, Mississippi voters chose to keep the flag, with supporters saying they see it as a symbol of heritage. But, a growing number of cities and all the state’s public universities have abandoned it in recent years because of the Confederate image.

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren Boyfriend’s sudden ghosting causes hurt and confusion DEAR ABBY: I am dealing with the worst heartbreak ever. I don’t know what I did to make my boyfriend stop liking me. He won’t talk to me or text me back, and now he has blocked me on Facebook. One minute he said that he would always hang out with me and the next he told me to stop messaging him and blocked me. All of this has made me go out of control, and now I want to hate on everyone. How can I stop this awful hurt? -- LOVE HURTS IN OREGON DEAR LOVE HURTS: Before I answer that question, I want to weigh in on your signature, “Love Hurts.” What I need to impress upon you is, love DOESN’T hurt. Real love makes people feel BETTER. It’s time to stop asking yourself what you did wrong to be getting the treatment he is doling out. Allow me an educated guess: He may feel guilty because he met someone else and doesn’t have the courage to own up to it. Time will tell if I’m right.

The way to soothe this ache and refrain from lashing out at others would be to remember they are blameless. By taking your pain out on them, you are isolating only yourself. Get rid of any mementos that remind you of him. If a song reminds you of him, don’t play it again. Keep yourself busy. Focus on other things and talk with your friends and family about your feelings. If you do, you will soon realize that others have experienced the same disappointment you have. And, above all, remember that although this experience may have been romantic for a while, it has run its course.

DEAR ABBY: I am at my wits’ end with my husband. I have a vision impairment as a result of ocular cancer, and he refuses to stop making fun of me about it. He teases me constantly about being blind, about not being able to read, and about how bad my eyes are.

My eyes ARE very bad, some days much worse than others, but I’m not totally blind. And, Abby, I can read

-- just not the way I used to. When I tell him it hurts my feelings, he either gets angry at me for being “too sensitive” or brushes it off because he’s “just being honest.”

He is very religious, and I have thought about reaching out to his pastor about this because it bothers me so much, but I’m agnostic and don’t have a relationship with him. It hurts me, but it’s almost worse because our daughter watches it, and I don’t want her to think it’s OK for her daddy to bully me like this. -- CHALLENGED IN TENNESSEE DEAR CHALLENGED: You are NOT too sensitive, and your husband is NOT just being honest! He may be punishing you because you had the nerve to get ocular cancer, or he may simply have a sadistic streak. This is not how good Christians behave; it is how hypocrites do.

That you are an agnostic -- many intelligent and pious individuals are, by the way -- should not stop you from having a conversation with your husband’s pastor. However, even if the pastor were to craft a sermon on the subject, I doubt it would change your husband’s behavior. If you are going to continue in this marriage, you must find a way to change the way you react to the mistreatment you are receiving.

Perhaps once he finds he can’t get the reaction he’s looking for, he will stop.

EU opens borders to 14 nations, but not US tourists BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union announced Tuesday that it will reopen its borders to travelers from 14 countries, but most Americans have been refused entry for at least another two weeks due to soaring coronavirus infections in the U.S. Travelers from other big countries like Russia, Brazil and India will also miss out.

As Europe’s economies reel from the impact of the coronavirus, southern EU countries like Greece, Italy and Spain are desperate to entice back sun-loving

visitors and breathe life into their damaged tourism industries.

More than 15 million Americans are estimated to travel to Europe each year, while some 10 million Europeans head across the Atlantic.

Citizens from the following countries will be allowed into the EU’s 27 members and four other nations in Europe’s visa-free Schengen travel zone: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand,

Tunisia and Uruguay.

The EU said China is “subject to confirmation of reciprocity,” meaning it must lift all restrictions on European citizens entering China before it will allow Chinese citizens back in.

Countries considered for the safe list are also expected to lift any bans they might have in place on European travelers. The list is to be updated every 14 days, with new countries being added and some even dropping off depending on whether they are keeping the disease under control.

Still, many people both

inside and outside Europe remain wary of travel in the coronavirus era, given the unpredictability of the pandemic and the possibility of second waves of infection that could affect flights and hotel bookings.

Tens of thousands of travelers had a frantic, chaotic scramble in March to get home as the pandemic swept across the world and borders slammed shut.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States has surged over the past week, and President Donald Trump also suspended the

entry of all people from Europe’s ID check-free travel zone in a decree in March.

In contrast, aside from a notable recent outbreak tied to a slaughterhouse in western Germany, the virus’s spread has generally stabilized across much of continental Europe.

European Union countries hastily slapped restrictions on who could cross their borders in February as the virus spread in Italy. Then in mid-March the Europeans limited all non-essential travel to the 27 EU member states plus

Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland..

Non-EU citizens who are already living in Europe are not included in the ban.

The EU list does not apply to travel to Britain, which left the EU in January. Britain now requires all incoming travelers — bar a few exceptions like truck drivers — to go into a self-imposed 14-day quarantine, although the measure is under review and is likely to ease in the coming weeks. The requirement also applies to U.K. citizens.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed a package expanding “Obamacare” coverage through the House on Monday, a measure that’s doomed to advance no further but spotlights how the coronavirus pandemic and President Donald Trump’s efforts to obliterate that law have fortified health care’s potency as a 2020 campaign issue.

While the legislation had no chance of survival in the Republican-led Senate and faced a White House veto threat for good measure, Democrats plunged ahead anyway. It joins a pile of bills they’ve compiled that highlight their priorities on health care, jobs, ethics and voting rights, issues they intend to

wield in this year’s presidential and congressional elections.

The bill cleared the House by a mostly party-line, 234-179 vote over solid GOP opposition.

Republicans, who’ve never relented since unanimously opposing former President Barack Obama’s 2010 statue, called the measure a blow to the nation’s health care system during a pandemic and a political stunt.

“This bill attempts to exploit the coronavirus pandemic to resuscitate tired, partisan proposals,” the White House wrote in its statement. It said provisions curbing prescription drug costs would cut pharmaceutical company revenues and “undermine the American innovation

the entire globe is depending on” by crimping their research on developing vaccines and treatments.

GOP lawmakers’ votes against the House measure seemed certain to pop up in campaign spots this fall. In a taste of those ads, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday’s vote gave lawmakers a choice between strengthening health care protections or being “complicit” in Trump’s effort to dismantle it.

“Make no mistake,” said Pelosi, D-Calif. “A vote against this bill is a vote to weaken Americans’ health and financial security during a pandemic.”

Three lawmakers, all facing potentially tough reelection fights this fall, crossed party lines on the

vote: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.; Collin Peterson, D-Minn., and Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J. Democrats used Trump’s and the GOP’s failed 2017 efforts to erase Obama’s law as their chief issue in the 2018 elections, helping them capture House control by gaining 40 seats.

They’ve talked ever since about reprising that theme in this year’s campaigns by focusing on curbing drug and health care costs and saying Republicans want to dismantle the Obama law’s patient protections. Republicans have denied that that is their goal.

Last week, the White House made a move that Democrats say provides them with fresh ammuni-

tion and that even some Republicans consider a political blunder.

It filed papers with the Supreme Court backing Republican-run states’ drive to have Obama’s entire law declared unconstitutional. The increasingly popular statute has expanded coverage to 20 million Americans, and required insurers to cover patients with preexisting conditions and include children up to age 26 under their parent’s policies.

Debate also came as the number of cases of COVID-19, the disease that coronavirus causes, has begun soaring anew in more than half the states, including many that relaxed restrictions on activities aimed at pre-

venting the illness’ spread.

The United States reported 38,800 newly confirmed coronavirus infections Monday, boosting the total over 2.5 million. More than 125,000 Americans have died, the highest figure in the world.

The House bill would expand tax credits for lower-earning Americans for paying insurance premiums, let more people qualify for subsidies and cap the portion of income some consumers would pay for coverage. It would let the government negotiate with pharmaceutical makers over drug prices, and block low-cost plans the Trump administration has permitted that don’t require coverage of people with preexisting conditions.

Democrats push health care bill through House

Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump that Interpol rejects TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad, a local prosecutor reportedly said Monday.

Interpol later said it wouldn’t consider Iran’s request, meaning Trump faces no danger of arrest.

However, the charges

underscore the heightened tensions between Iran and the United States since Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said Trump and 35 others whom Iran accuses of involvement in the Jan. 3 strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad face “murder and terrorism charges,” the state-run IRNA news agency reported.

Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed that Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends.

Alqasimehr also was quoted as saying that Iran requested a “red notice” be put out for Trump and the others, which represents the highest-level arrest request issued by Interpol. Local authorities generally make the arrests on behalf of the coun-

try that requests it. The notices cannot force countries to arrest or extradite suspects, but can put government leaders on the spot and limit suspects’ travel.

After receiving a request, Interpol meets by committee and discusses whether or not to share the information with its member states. Interpol has no requirement for making any of the notices public, though some do get published on its

website.

Interpol later issued a statement saying its guidelines for notices forbids it from “any intervention or activities of a political” nature.

Interpol “would not consider requests of this nature,” it said.

Brian Hook, the U.S. special representative for Iran, dismissed the arrest warrant announcement during a news conference in Saudi Arabia on Monday.

“It’s a propaganda stunt that no one takes seriously and makes the Iranians look foolish,” Hook said.

The U.S. killed Soleimani, who oversaw the Revolutionary Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force, and others in the January strike near Baghdad International Airport.

It came after months of rising tensions between the two countries. Iran retaliated with a ballistic missile strike targeting American troops in Iraq.

GOP lawmakers urge action after Russia-Afghanistan briefing WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight Republican lawmakers attended a White House briefing about explosive allegations that Russia secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing American troops in Afghanistan — intelligence the White House insisted the president himself had not been fully read in on.

Members of Congress in both parties called for additional information and consequences for Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, and eight Democrats were to be briefed on the matter Tuesday

morning, a day after the Republicans’ briefing. Still, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany insisted Trump had not been briefed on the findings because they hadn’t been verified.

The White House seemed to be setting an unusually high bar for bringing the information to Trump, since it is rare for intelligence to be confirmed without a shadow of doubt before it is presented to senior government decision-makers.

McEnany declined to say why a different standard of confidence in the intelli-

Republicans who were in the briefing Monday expressed alarm about Russia’s activities in Afghanistan.

Rep. Michael McCaul, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger were in the briefing led

by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and national security adviser Robert O’Brien. McCaul Visit our website or call us to sign up for our online Summer Reading Program!

and Kinzinger said in a statement that lawmakers were told “there is an ongoing review to determine the accuracy of these reports.”

“If the intelligence review process verifies the reports, we strongly encourage the Administration to take swift and serious action to hold the Putin regime accountable,” they said.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Texas Rep. Mac Thornberry, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, said, “After today’s briefing with senior White House officials, we remain concerned about Russian activity in Afghanistan, including reports that they have targeted U.S. forces.”

Senators reviewed classified documents related to the allegations Monday evening. The information they received was not previously known, according to one aide who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

On CNN, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed the timing of the Democratic briefing but said “it’s no substitute for what they owe the Congress of the United States.” She said that “this is as serious as it gets.”

She speculated that Trump wasn’t briefed “because they know it makes him very unhappy, and all roads for him, as you know, lead to Putin. And would he tell Putin what they knew?”

Coast Guard, good Samaritans rescue three near Brookings The World BROOKINGS — Crew members from Coast Guard Station Chetco River and good Samaritans rescued three men from a capsized vessel Saturday outside the mouth of the Chetco River.

At 10:45 a.m. watchstanders at Coast Guard Station Chetco River received a relay from 911 dispatch that a 19-foot recreational vessel had capsized just outside the bar at the mouth of the river, according to a press release from the U.S. Coast Guard 13th District PA Detachment, Astoria.

Watchstanders diverted crews aboard two 29-foot Response Boat-Small already deployed on training exercises in the vicinity and responded to the scene in approximately four minutes.

All three men were not wearing life jackets when their vessel was suddenly swamped by the wake of another passing vessel, stated the release. The vessel was salvaged after all three men were brought to shore without any reported injuries.

They clung to flotsam and swam in 60-degree water to reach nearby vessels. One had already been pulled aboard by the good

Samaritans when the Coast Guard arrived.

The survivors were transferred aboard one of the 29-foot RBS and transported back to the marina where emergency medical service technicians were waiting to provide first aid, which the survivors declined.

Crew members on the other 29-foot RBS were able to attach a tow line to the capsized vessel and right it.

With the help of the vessel’s still-functioning dewatering system on board, coupled with the forward motion and the help of a crew member

with a bucket-bailing system, the vessel was saved and moored safely at the Port of Brookings-Harbor.

“It is incredibly important for people to wear life jackets when engaged in watercraft activities,” said Petty Officer 3rd Class Cody Vallejo, of Coast Guard Station Chetco River. “We saw today that an incident can occur so quickly that there is no time to don a lifejacket in the moment. These people today were very lucky to have good Samaritans so close by, but it could have just as easily gone the other way. Life jackets save lives.”

Coast Guard crewmembers from Station Chetco River aboard a 29-foot Response Boat Small salvaged a capsized recreational vessel outside the mouth of the Chetco River in Brookings on June 27. After rescuing the three survivors, they were able to dewater and tow the boat to Brookings marina.

Coast Guard, local agencies airlift injured man on Rogue River The World NORTH BEND — The Coast Guard assisted local agencies to medically evacuate an injured man Sunday, June 28, after

he fell down a cliff near Galice on the Rogue River.

A Coast Guard aircrew brought the man to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center for reported periodic loss of consciousness

ACLU files class-action suit against Portland police, city PORTLAND (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon has filed a class-action lawsuit against Portland Police and the city on behalf of journalists and legal observers who they say were targeted and attacked by the police while documenting protests.

The suit in Federal District Court in Portland says police have used tear gas, pepper spray, shot rubber bullets and thrown flash bangs directly at both journalists and legal observers.

The filings also say police have arrested journalists and legal observers. The complaint lists six primary plaintiffs—two ACLU observers and four journalists—and includes others similarly situated.

Matt Borden, an attorney and partner at Braunhagey & Borden serving as co-counsel with the ACLU, said the lawsuit is intended to try to stop the police from attacking and assaulting legal observers and reporters in the future.

“The whole idea of the First Amendment is it’s a check on government power,” said Borden.

Borden said they are asking for damages for those injured by the conduct.

and an injured leg, according to a press release from the U.S. Coast Guard 13th District PA Detachment, Astoria.

A local fisherman is credited with helping to save the man after spotting him dangling from a cliff, hundreds of feet above the Rogue River just downstream from Galice, stated the release. The fisherman had to travel back to Galice to call 911, which mobilized rescue teams from Rural Metro Fire, Grants Pass Department of Public Safety, the

Josephine County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit and Josephine County Search & Rescue.

The man was located several hundred feet below the top of the cliff and was instructed to remain calm by firefighters across the river, while others made their way to the scene on primitive roads to Maple Gulch, off Stratten Creek Road.

The victim’s vehicle was found on a remote road leading to the scene.

It appeared to be stuck in a high-centered position

and the tires had been worn down to the point of deflation from spinning in an assumed effort to free the vehicle. A window had been smashed out and no valuables reportedly left inside.

Due to the remote location and technical difficulty in rescuing the victim by ground, the RMF Incident Commander requested assistance.

Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend received the agency assist request from Josephine County dispatch at 8:15

The aircrew arrived on scene at sunset and hoisted the man off the cliff in the dark.

“Thanks to the U.S. Coast Guard, the mission was completed safely in three-and-a-half hours,” said Austin Prince, chief of operations for Rural Metro Fire. “The rescue by ground crews involving a nearly-vertical rappel would have taken significantly longer.”

“You graciously reviewed your operations in an attempt to help, however we jointly concluded that your department has insufficient human resources at this time to have the city contract with CCSO for additional dedicated police services to the city ….”

He added that “regrettably” the city was writing to inform Zanni’s office that “effective 11 p.m. on June 30, 2020, there will be no law enforcement available in the City of North Bend between the hours of 11

Lakeside From A1

Opponents are concerned about enforcement and say ATV riders, especially those from out of the area, do not obey speed limits or noise regulations and have in the past exhibited rude and dismissive behavior toward residents.

Some fear for their safety, especially those who walk in city limits.

Others have concerns over whether local law enforcement agencies have the officers available to regulate riders and enforce the rules. Lakeside does not have a police department and citizens have turned down several levies to fund one. So enforcement falls to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and North Bend Police Department — which has staffing issues of its own.

At the June 23 special meeting to discuss and vote on the ordinance, people spoke in favor and against the proposal and several letters received were read into the record

by Interim City Manager Loree Pryce and city councilors.

There were comments from those against the proposed ordinance saying, “You’re inviting trouble, where is your concern for the community?”

“My primary concern is non-compliance — this ordinance is unenforceable,”

O’Connor said the city recognized the constraints this put on the CCSO, which has 13 patrol deputies.

In response, Zanni wrote to O’Connor, stating that the law enforcement agencies directly affected by this will meet to provide a short-term agreement to respond to emergencies in North Bend at night. These agencies include Coos Bay Police, Oregon State Police, Coquille Tribal “This initiative ... lowers my property value,” to comments from those who support the ordinance.

A resident of Rockaway Beach said he and his family have traveled all over for family vacations with their ATVs and enjoy the places they’ve been that allow riders to go into town.

“We ride into town for lunch and it’s quite an adventure for the kids,” he said. “I’d love to be able to do that same in Lakeside.

There’s nine of us and we’d (probably) eat lunch and dinner.”

Edwards said the next step is for OPRD to take public comment and recommend a decision to the Oregon Department of Transportation by mid-August. A meeting was held on the topic with the Coos County Board of Commissioners and the Coos County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, June 25, which Edwards said was discouraging.

“They didn’t seem quite in favor as I thought they were,” he said.

But Edwards’ understanding is that the commission doesn’t have to agree or approve the proposal. Lakeside has jurisdiction over roads within city limits and ODOT has jurisdiction over the old state Highway 101, which the proposed trail will utilize to get over to Spinreel.

Edwards said the county shares a boundary with the privately owned Osprey

“Any agency that responded to an emergency within your city would track their associated costs and as such would be submitting a bill to the City of North Bend for reimbursement.

Those costs would be for extraordinary expenses created by the need to respond to emergency calls in the City of North Bend because of the lack of police presence.

on-call response system, it leaves no other option…,” he continued. “Since these responses would not be to assist or aid the City of North Bend’s Police Department, none of the responses or the associated costs would meet the criteria for mutual aid and therefore the cost would be the responsibility of the City of North Bend.”

In an interview with The World, Zanni put it simply: “I’m not comfortable leaving approximately 10,000 people without some kind of plan for emergency response.”

He advised for the citizens of North Bend to talk with the city admin-

istration to “find out why they have officers but (why) they’re not going to be on call for an emergency at night. (The CCSO) had times we could not have deputies on the road but always had someone available by phone … for emergencies. That’s the standard procedure for law enforcement, even for small departments.”

Zanni pointed to the Powers Police Department, which has one police chief and a reserve officer.

During an emergency, Zanni said the chief will sometimes be called in the middle of the night and “he will respond.”

The council will propose two ballot measures, which must be filed by Aug. 15. One will ask voters whether they approve the proposed ATV trail and one will ask whether they will allow ATV usage on the streets of Lakeside.

“That’s what the citizens wanted, so we’ll do that,” Edwards said of the ballot measures.

Edwards said part of the reason he and some council members have pushed the proposed ATV trail is because citizens complain the council doesn’t do anything.

“We as a council need to move forward,” Edwards said. “We’re doing what the majority of us feel is the right thing to do. We feel it will be good for the economy. Of course, that remains to be seen, but we’re hoping it will have a positive impact.”

Edwards said he’s studied similar ATV ordinances that have been approved in other states and cities in Oregon, most of them with positive results.

“It’s not like we’re reinventing the wheel,” he said. “We’re just trying to keep up with the times.”

Patriots hope winning continues with Newton JIMMY GOLEN

Associated Press

One is a man of a million fedoras.

The other is all about the hoodie.

But whether Cam Newton and Bill Belichick can take the New England Patriots back to the Super Bowl is going to be more about football than fashion.

The Patriots have turned to the former Panthers quarterback to replace Tom Brady, who defected to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after 19 years, six Super Bowls and three NFL MVP awards.

Newton gets his fresh start in New England after nine seasons in Carolina, where his own MVP-winning career had stalled because of injuries.

“Bill always says the goal for any good team is to have as many good players as possible,” Jason McCourty said on the podcast he hosts with his twin brother and fellow Patriots defensive back, Devin.

“Cam Newton is a former MVP of this league, played in the Super Bowl — that caliber of a player — so I think the better players we have in our locker room, the better we’re going to

be able to perform as a team.”

Newton, 31, agreed to terms on Sunday on a deal that will pay him up to $7.5 million this season, a person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the deal.

The Patriots declined to comment on the reports. But Newton wrote on Instagram Sunday night, “I’m excited as I don’t know what right now,” ending the post with “LetsGoPats.”

A Heisman Trophy winner who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft, Newton peaked

in 2015, when he was the NFL MVP after leading the Panthers to a 15-1 record and a Super Bowl appearance. If he’s healthy, he gives the Patriots something even Brady didn’t: a mobile QB who challenges defenses to chase him and bring him down.

Brady has averaged 1.7 yards per carry while rushing for 1,037 yards in 20 seasons in New England -- about two seasons worth for Newton, who picked up an average of more than 5 yards when he ran the ball. (Of course, Newton’s 10 career playoff touchdown passes are a couple of typical postseasons for Brady.)

Raise the Roof project progresses John Gunther The World

COOS BAY — For the past several years, the effort to finish the south grandstand at Marshfield’s Pete Susick Stadium has been a labor of love for brothers Bill and Steve McNutt.

The project, called Raise the Roof, has been made easier because of the extensive generosity of fellow Marshfield graduates.

Last Friday, that work included installing the exterior windows for the five viewing boxes at the back end of the grandstands.

“It’s a great improvement,” Steve McNutt said while looking at the new windows. “Finally, after 3 ½ years, after a lot of help from a lot of Marshfield people.

And most of them said yes.”

The project is looking more complete all the time, especially since the roof itself was finished during the winter.

Friday’s work crew included a number of familiar faces.

The McNutt brothers (Steve graduated in 1965 and Bill in 1975) came down from the Wil-

Hunter Campbell of Electrical Specialty works on the electrical infrastructure for one of the viewing boxes at Pete Susick Stadium. lamette Valley, and were joined in the window installation by Boyd Bjorkquist (Class of 1973), brothers Bob (Class of 1965) and Don (Class of 1962) Jenkins and brothers Chal (1969) and Keenan (1967) Holte.

Just getting to the point of being able to put in the windows took the work of several others.

Jeremy Bourell, the nephew of the McNutt brothers and a 1999 graduate, of Bourell Construc-

tion, framed the viewing boxes with some of his crew, donating all their time.

And 1996 graduate Casey Waterman roughed in the electrical framework with his crew from Electrical Specialty.

Bill McNutt said much of the credit for the project also goes to the wives of Bourell and Waterman — Andrea Bourell and Trinity Waterman — who have coordinated the scheduling for

the project for their husbands.

Many of the materials also have been donated, either outright or with the Raise the Roof fund paying for the materials at cost, Bill McNutt said.

The windows were a prime example of that. The McNutt brothers picked them up Thursday from Medallion Industries Vice President Julie Nix, a 1979 Marshfield graduate who coordinated her company donating the windows and providing the doors for the viewing boxes at cost.

Between the windows, doors, hardware, framing and sheet rock for the boxes, the Raise the Roof fund paid just $7,000 of about $32,000 in total costs, with the rest of the materials donated by Marshfield graduates or companies they work for Bill McNutt said.

The money to pay the expenses comes from donations to the fund.

The donated labor saves the group a bunch of money, he said, including hours spent in painting in earlier portions of the project.

Coos Bay Speedway enjoys busy weekend The World

COOS BAY — Out of town drivers nearly won every main event over two busy days of racing on the oval dirt track at Coos Bay Speedway over the weekend.

The races Saturday and Sunday again proved popular for drivers from across western Oregon with more than 60 cars entered on Saturday and more than 50 on Sunday.

Over the two days, the only local driver to win a featured race was North Bend’s Ken Fox, who won the Street Stocks division on Saturday. He beat Dakota Godard of Corvallis and Dylan Siewell of Coos Bay across the line. The heat race winners were Phil Lovvorn of Corvallis and Terry King of Warren.

Steve Dubisar of Coquille led most of Sunday’s main event in the division before being passed late by Kevin Roberts of Gresh-

Jason Johnson of Gresham won the America’s Mattress Super Late Models division both days. On Saturday, he finished ahead of Brody Montgomery and Braden Fugate of Bandon. Fugate and Doug Elkins of Salem won the heat races.

On Sunday, Elkins won the

heat race and was second behind Johnson in the main event, with Montgomery and Fugate third and fourth.

Jordan Henry of Roseburg won the Sportsman Late Models division on Saturday, ahead of heat winners Dave Schmidt of Junction City and Doug Coffman of Roseburg. On Sunday, David Schmidt of Roseburg won the

main event ahead of Coffman while Ryan Emry of Corvallis won the heat race.

In the Hornets division, Isaac Stere of Cottage Grove handed Myrtle Point racer Hannah Robison a rare defeat on Saturday.

“When you’re talking about mobile quarterbacks, guys that are tough to handle, tackle, can throw, run, make good decisions — I mean, I would put Newton at the top of the list,” Belichick said when the Patriots faced Newton in 2017.

“He makes good decisions. He can run. He’s strong. He’s hard to tackle. He can do a lot of different things, beat you in a lot of different ways,” Belichick said.

“Not saying the other guys aren’t a problem, because they are, but he’s public enemy No. 1.”

NASCAR keeps racing through challenges

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The one thing NASCAR has always gotten right is its ability to keep the wheels turning. In crisis or coronavirus, the show finds its way to a race track and keeps plugging along.

That has never been in doubt, at least not since 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died in a crash on the last lap of the Daytona 500.

The next seven days were a blur of grief and outrage. Yet Earnhardt’s funeral was Thursday and everybody made it to Rockingham in time for Friday practice.

The determination to race has been NASCAR’s greatest strength in the most tumultuous of times and that certainly includes the past several weeks.

A garage door pulldown rope fashioned as a noose was found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. The FBI determined it had been there since last October and Wallace — who two weeks earlier helped prod NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag at its races — was not the target of a hate crime. Still, the attention was unusually glaring — for Wallace, for NASCAR and for fans who feel they are defending Southern heritage, flag and all.

So NASCAR raced. By Monday, a full seven days after NASCAR stood in support behind Wallace during the national anthem at Talladega, three more Cup Series races had been completed. The conversation moved away from the noose, the ban and racial equality — for better and for worse.

There was chatter about NASCAR’s unprecedented tripleheader at Pocono over the weekend, which also saw the Cup Series run consecutive points-paying races. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin went 1-2 in the first race, then flipped the order Sunday in what could be a preview of a stirring championship battle.

Harvick, the points leader, and Hamlin, the Daytona 500 winner, have seven combined victories through 15 races and both have played a significant role in NASCAR’s survival during the pandemic. Hamlin was a key player in the iRacing craze during NASCAR’s 10-week shutdown and has tirelessly remained front and center for the sport. Harvick resumed a national radio show while representing himself as a series champion.

Both can feel the toll of this topsy-turvy season, in which NASCAR was one of the first major sporting leagues to return to competition. Routines have been upended and replaced by a frenzied season of one-day shows, largely without fans — no practices, no qualifying and nine rain-interrupted races, all in the shadow of the noose incident at Talladega.

“It’s been a unique time,” Hamlin said. “Everything is just different. The way that we work our weeks, weekends, everything is different now. You’re trying to adapt to that. Then we have the whole thing going on with George Floyd. That sparked conversations and protests. We had the incident, we thought the incident, with Bubba.

races and Dan Briesacher, one of six racers from Florence, won the other.

On Sunday, Stere won the heat race, but couldn’t keep up with Seth Christian of Roseburg in the main event.

Scott Beaudoin of Portland won the Mini Outlaws race on Saturday, ahead of heat winner Jason Kellam of Coos Bay. Beaudoin also won the heat race Sunday, but a late flat tire knocked him out of contention in the main event and the win instead went to Tahlen Rogers of Albany, with John Henry of Springfield second.

Saturday’s featured attraction was the Southern Oregon Dwarf Cars, and Brock Peters of Eagle Point won the featured race in that division, with Ryan Smith of Central Point second.

On Sunday, the featured attractions were racers in the IMCA Modifieds and Sportmod classes.

The McNutts and Bjorquist have been regular contributors to the physical labor, as has Bob Jenkins, who was the project manager for the original work on the south grandstands back in the 1990s and then for the Heritage Hall project at Marshfield.

“I think it looks great,” Jenkins said Friday, adding that he was among the

“I just want to get to racing and talking about racing,” he said. “It’s difficult to ask us to be able to compartmentalize all this stuff. We’re race car drivers.

To ask us our stance on public issues and things like that, we’re not always that good at it. We don’t always say the right thing.”

Less than three months ago, star driver Kyle Larson used the N-word during an iRacing event. He was suspended by NASCAR, lost his job with his team and is currently racking up wins on sprint car tracks.

Calif., won the main event ahead of John Bennedetti of Yakima, Wash., and Bricen James of Albany, the two heat winners.

David Schmidt added a win in the IMCA Sportmod main event to his earlier win in the Sportsman late Models. Coffman was second and he and Schmidt won the heat races.

Results for both days will be included in Saturday’s print edition of The World.

Saturday’s race also was a big draw for the fans, with several hundred in attendance. The crowd Sunday was about 300, which track owner Drake Nelson said was a typical Sunday crowd.

He said the drivers are enjoying the busy schedule, which included four racing dates over the first 12 days of the oval track season. The track will be in action again Wednesday, when Nelson has invited the dwarf car drivers back, as well as the winged sprint cars in what he is calling Wednesday Night Throwdown. Local drivers in the Street Stocks and Junior Stingers divisions

also will be racing.

The gates open at 5 p.m. and racing starts at 7. Admission is $15 for adults and $13 for senior citizens and students 7 to 17 years old. Kids 6 and under get in free. A family pass for two adults and up to three students is $35.

This weekend it will be the ET Summit Series racing at the track. Both Saturday and Sunday drivers will be competing in the Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Motorcycle and Junior Dragster divisions.

The gates open at 8 a.m., with time trials starting at 11 a.m. and bracket racing at 1 p.m. both days. Admission each day is $12 for spectators and free for kids 6 and under.

The entry fee for drivers is $50 with a guaranteed payout.

Friday night will feature at Street Drags and test and tune session. The gates open at 6 p.m. and the racing and test and tune runs from 7 to 11 p.m. The fee for drivers is $20 and spectators get in for $5.

many people who have been asked to help here or there and haven’t said no.

“When we got done with Heritage Hall, Boyd asked, ‘Can you help on the stadium?’” he recalled. “I said, ‘I’ll help a little bit.’”

The same goes for his brother, who also was a financial donor, Bob Jenkins said.

Bill McNutt said the goal is to have the current phase of the project, the viewing boxes, to be completed by this fall — organizers hope

to showcase them before the Marshfield-North Bend football game (if there is a football season).

The next phase will include restrooms and other touches.

The roof covers about 400 of the 1,310 seats on the south side of the stadium, to go with some 2,700 covered seats on the north side.

To learn more about the project, visit the Raise the Roof Marshfield Facebook page or www.raisetheroofmarshfield.org.

That seems long ago now, but it was another controversy in a string of them.

Will the conversation about race fade? No one is sure, just like no one is sure whether a sponsor will step up for Wallace’s underfunded Richard Petty Motorsports team.

Either way, NASCAR will just keep moving, on to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for another first: The hectic rescheduling of racing means NASCAR and IndyCar will share the facility for the first doubleheader featuring the nation’s two biggest auto racing series.

Harvick, who in 2001 went from a Busch Series

driver to Earnhardt’s replacement overnight, has never not been part of NASCAR’s nonstop grind. Perhaps at times its annoyed him, worn him down, even made him angry. Right now, being able to race is a gift not to be underappreciated.

“I think our races have had a positive impact on the motorsports community every week. This was our 11th race since we’ve come back,” Harvick said. “Our industry has just done a great job, really been the leader in trying to help other sports figure out how they’re going to get back on track.”

Going racing is what NASCAR does best.

PHOENIX (AP) — A small group of players, including Nationals slugger Ryan Zimmerman and Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond, have announced they plan to sit out this season. The Minnesota Twins have shuffled their on-field staff to protect the health of some of their older coaches.

As the sport lurches toward a late July start during the coronavirus crisis, roster flexibility and organizational depth will be key.

Zimmerman, who told The Associated Press last week he still was deciding whether to play this year, ultimately said having three young children, including a newborn, and a mother at higher risk because of multiple sclerosis factored into his decision.

“Given the unusual nature of the season, this is the best decision for me and my family,” Zimmerman said.

The 35-year-old Zimmerman, who has been with the Nationals since 2005, said he still is deciding on his future beyond this season. The two-time All-Star and 2009 Gold Glove winner has 270 career homers.

Desmond cited his family as one reason why he decided to stay home for the upcoming 60-game season. But the biracial slugger also mentioned a myriad of issues within baseball, including racism, sexism, homophobia and socioeconomic concerns.

“With a pregnant wife and four young children who have lots of questions about what’s going on in the world, home is where I need to be right now,” the 34-year-old Desmond wrote in an Instagram post. “Home for my wife, Chelsey. Home to help.

Home to guide. Home to answer my older three boys’ questions about Coronavirus and Civil Rights and life. Home to be their Dad.” Desmond, who hit .255 with 20 homers in 140 games last season, had been due $5,555,556 for the prorated share of his $15 million salary, part of a $70 million, five-year contract. He is owed $8 million next year, and his deal includes a $15 million team option for 2022 with a $2 million buyout.

The Twins confirmed Monday that 68-year-old bullpen coach Bob McClure and 66-year-old major league coach Bill Evers won’t be in the clubhouse at the start of this season because of health concerns.

Both will stay with the

organization to help in altered roles.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli, who was sitting in a Target Field dugout during a Zoom call, said he’s known both coaches for a long time and that the decisions were difficult. He added that both coaches were disappointed.

“I think we all know that we’re making the right decision, but that doesn’t mean it feels good,” Baldelli said. “It’s very, very challenging to even think about these sorts of things and have these conversations.”

But they’re exactly the conversations that are being had at both the organizational and personal level across the MLB landscape. The defending World Series champion Nationals will begin their title defense without Zimmerman and pitcher Joe Ross, who also declined to play because of health concerns.

“We are 100% supportive of their decision to not play this year,” Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said in a statement. “We will miss their presence in the clubhouse and their contributions on the field.”

Ross, 27, has five seasons of MLB experience.

He appeared in 27 games last season.

Zimmerman was due $740,741 and Ross $555,556 as prorated portions of their salaries, originally $2 million for the first baseman and $1.5 million for the pitcher. If they are deemed high risk by team physicians, they would still get paid and receive service time.

Arizona’s pitching depth took a hit when Mike Leake said he had decided not to play this year. Leake was expected to be a part of the team’s starting rotation after starting 10 games last season and finishing with a 3-3 record and 4.35 ERA following a midseason trade with Seattle.

Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen didn’t elaborate on Leake’s decision, but the pitcher’s agent issued a statement saying he made a personal decision not to play during the pandemic. The GM also didn’t say whether Leake falls under the highrisk category. If Leake does, he would be due $5,555,556 as the prorated share of his $15 million salary.

The fragility of baseball’s current health situation has been apparent for the past few weeks.

The Philadelphia Phillies had a coronavirus outbreak at their spring training facility in Clearwater, Florida, earlier this month.

Seven players and five staff members tested positive in the organization.

Phillies GM Matt Klentak said the team was “fortunate that none of the cases, player or staff, have been especially serious.”

He said no one has been hospitalized.

But the outbreak is another example of how difficult it is to limit exposure.

“What is eye opening to a lot of us is how quickly it spread even in an environment where we were on the extreme end of caution,” Klentak said.

“The facility in Clearwater was pretty airtight in terms of staggering times of players reporting to work out, cleaning the facilities in between. Truthfully, it was frustrating to some players how strict it was and yet the outbreak still happened.”

San Francisco minor league center fielder Hunter Bishop has tested positive for the coronavirus and has mild symptoms, according to president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. The 10th overall pick last year would have been among 51 players reporting to training this week.

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke, 63, said his organization is doing as much as it can to keep everyone — especially older staff members — as safe as possible. Terry Francona, Cleveland’s 61-year-old manager, said he’s not nervous, even though he’s had previous health issues.

“I know I’m probably one of the higher-risk guys because of my age and some of the things that have gone on,” he said.

“But the trainers and the doctors have been terrific.

I would rather manage and be around the guys and be around the game than not.

“I’d be miserable if I didn’t do it.”

Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen said some of his team’s coaching staff and player-development staff fall into the high-risk category.

“We don’t have full clarity on if all of our coaches will be here, but we anticipate having that clarity here by the time we open up on Friday,” he said.

Van Wagenen said the club anticipates all its players will report to training camp, which begins Friday at Citi Field. Long-absent slugger Yoenis Céspedes might finally be healthy enough to play on opening day, especially with the designated hitter now available in the National League.

There’s little doubt the upcoming season will be unlike any other — if it can be played. Angels manager Joe Maddon, who is 66, said it’s up to individual players and coaches to accept and embrace the safety protocols.

“If you want to come in expecting the norms that we’re normally accustomed to, then you’re going to be frustrated constantly, and you can’t permit that to happen,” Maddon said.

Patriots

Newton will get the same leeway, starting with training camp when he will have to win the starting job from 2019 fourth-round pick and fellow Auburn product Jarrett Stidham.

Because Newton’s deal is heavily based on incentives, the signing is low risk if he cannot stay healthy and even better value if he does.

“I’m never shocked with anything we do as a Patriots organization,” Devin McCourty said. “I feel like everything we do is always in the thought process of trying to win and win championships. I think that’s what it comes down to, trying to make the team better. I’m never surprised when we’re trying to do that.”

But since then Newton has had two shoulder operations and one on his foot, and he missed all but two games last season. He has lost his past eight starts in all, getting more attention for his colorful postgame attire than his play.

Brady, who is married to supermodel Giselle Bundchen, did his share of preening, and in his later years his outside interests seem to intrude on what had previously been a football-first mentality.

The dour Belichick tolerated it as long as they were winning, which they have done more than any coach and quarterback combo in NFL history.

China approves Hong Kong national security law B4 | TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2020

The World

HONG KONG (AP) — China on Tuesday approved a contentious national security law that will allow authorities to crack down on subversive and secessionist activity in Hong Kong, a move many see as Beijing’s boldest yet to erase the legal firewall between the semi-autonomous territory and the mainland’s authoritarian Communist Party system.

President Xi Jinping signed a presidential order promulgating the law after it was approved by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It will be added to the Basic Law, Hong Kong’s constitution.

Few details were given but China’s liaison office in Hong Kong issued a statement warning opponents of the law not to “underestimate the party center’s

determination to safeguard Hong Kong’s national security” or its willingness and ability to enforce the new rules.

On Wednesday, Hong Kong’s government will mark the 23rd anniversary of the territory’s passing from British to Chinese control. A series of official events are scheduled and a heavy police presence is expected to deter any anti-government protests of the type that rocked the city for the second half of last year.

“We hope the law will serve as a deterrent to prevent people from stirring up trouble,” said Tam YiuChung, Hong Kong’s sole representative on the Standing Committee “Don’t let Hong Kong be used as a tool to split the country.”

Tam said punishments would not include the death penalty, but did not elabo-

rate on further details.

Passage of the law came amid fears in Hong Kong and abroad that it would be used to curb opposition voices in the Asian financial hub. The U.S. has already begun moves to end special trade terms given to Hong Kong after the former British colony was returned to China in 1997.

The legislation is aimed at curbing subversive, secessionist and terrorist activities, as well as foreign intervention in the city’s affairs. It follows months of anti-government protests in Hong Kong last year that at times descended into violence.

Speaking in a video message to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said the law would “only target an extremely small minority” of lawbreakers, would not be ret-

roactive, and that mainland legal bodies would only have jurisdiction in “rare, specified situations.”

Critics say it is the most significant erosion to date of Hong Kong’s British-style rule of law and the high degree of autonomy that Beijing promised Hong Kong would enjoy at least through 2047 under a “one country, two systems” framework.

Hong Kong pro-democracy activists Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow and Nathan Law issued statements on Facebook saying they would withdraw from their organization Demosisto, which then announced that it would disband with the loss of its top members.

Wong said “worrying about life and safety” has become a real issue and nobody will be able to predict the repercussions of the law, whether it is

being extradited to China or facing long jail terms.

More than a hundred protesters gathered at a luxury mall in Hong Kong’s Central business district, chanting slogans including “Free Hong Kong, Revolution Now,” with several holding up a flag representing an independent Hong Kong as well as posters condemning the law.

The law’s passage “represents the greatest threat to human rights in the city’s recent history,” said Joshua Rosenzweig, head of Amnesty International’s China Team.

“The speed and secrecy with which China has pushed through this legislation intensifies the fear that Beijing has calculatingly created a weapon of repression to be used against government critics, including people who are merely expressing their

views or protesting peacefully,” Rosenzweig said in a statement.

Concerns also were expressed in Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own territory to be brought under its control by force if necessary.

“Democracy and freedom are shared universal values of Hong Kong and Taiwan,” the island’s Mainland Affairs Council said, adding that China had betrayed its promises to Hong Kong, The self-governing island recently said it would consider providing asylum for Hong Kong opposition figures who fear arrest.

Ahead of the law’s passage, the Trump administration said Monday it will bar defense exports to Hong Kong and will soon require licenses for the sale of items that have both civilian and military uses.

NEW YORK (AP) — Supporters of abortion rights are elated, foes of abortion dismayed and angry, but they agree on one consequence of the Supreme Court’s first major abortion ruling since President Donald Trump took office: The upcoming election is crucial to their cause.

Both sides also say Monday’s ruling is not the last word on state-level abortion restrictions. One abortion rights leader evoked the image of playing whack-amole as new cases surface.

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, struck down a Louisiana law seeking to require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. For both sides in the abortion debate, it was

viewed as a momentous test of the court’s stance following Trump’s appointments of two conservative justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Both justices joined the conservative bloc’s dissent that supported the Louisiana law. But they were outvoted because Chief Justice John Roberts concurred with the court’s four more liberal justices.

The ruling was yet another major decision in which the conservative-leaning court failed to deliver an easy victory to the right in culture war issues during an election year; one ruling protects gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in employment, and the other rejected Trump’s effort to end protec-

tions for young immigrants.

Now, anti-abortion leaders say there’s an urgent need to reelect Trump so he can appoint more justices like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. Abortion rights activists, with equal fervor, say it’s crucial to defeat Trump and end Republican control of the Senate, where the GOP majority has confirmed scores of conservative judges during Trump’s term.

The Louisiana law “was an obvious challenge to our reproductive freedom, and it points to the urgent need to vote for pro-choice candidates from the top of the ballot all the way down,” said Heidi Sieck of #VOTEPROCHOICE, an online advocacy group. “Do this in primaries, do this in runoffs, do this in special elections

and do this in the general in November.”

James Bopp Jr., general counsel for National Right to Life, made a similar appeal, from an opposite vantage point.

“This decision demonstrates how difficult it is to drain the D.C. swamp and how important it is that President Trump gets reelected so that he may be able to appoint more pro-life justices,” Bopp said.

The Rev. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life and a member of the Trump campaign’s Catholic voter outreach project, noted that two of the liberal justices — Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer — are the oldest members of the court.

“Nobody can predict the

future, but who’s going to name their replacements when the time comes? That is a question that motivates a lot of voters,” Pavone said.

Anti-abortion activists swiftly made clear that Monday’s ruling would not dissuade them from continuing to push tough abortion restrictions through state legislatures.

In recent years, several states have enacted near-total bans on abortion only to have them blocked by the courts. However, Texas Right to Life urged lawmakers there to press ahead with a proposed three-pronged measure that would start with a ban on late-term abortions and proceed to a total ban.

Monday’s ruling “highlights the need for pro-life

states to pass laws that directly protect pre-born children in new and dynamic ways rather than get distracted on regulating the corrupt abortion industry,” a Texas Right to Life statement said.

Mike Gonidakis, the president of Ohio Right to Life, questioned the wisdom of pushing now for sweeping bans. He noted that an Ohio bill sharply restricting late-term abortions had taken effect, while the courts blocked a measure passed last year that would ban most abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy.

“We have to be methodical, strategic, and take an incremental approach,” he said. “A lot of people want to go from 0 to 60 — you usually end up with nothing.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The biggest cases of the Supreme Court term so far have a surprising common thread.

On a court with five Republican appointees, the liberal justices have been in the majority in rulings that make workplace discrimination against gay and transgender people illegal, protect young immigrants from deportation and, as of Monday, struck down a Louisiana law that restricted abortion providers.

As surprising, Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative nominated by President George W. Bush who has led the court for nearly 15 years, has joined his liberal colleagues in all three.

Since the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2018, Roberts has played a pivotal role in determining

how far the court will go in cases where the court’s four liberals and four conservatives are closely divided.

Here’s a look at where Roberts stood in the abortion, immigration and LGBT cases, his history on the court and what’s at stake in coming decisions in which Roberts could play a key role: ABORTION On Monday, Roberts joined liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan in striking down Louisiana’s Act 620.

The justices ruled that the law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals violates the abortion rights the court first announced in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

But Roberts’ reason for

siding with the liberals had less to do with his feelings on abortion than with his feelings on whether the court should do an abrupt about-face. Four years ago the court’s four liberal members and Justice Kennedy struck down a Texas law nearly identical to Louisiana’s. At the time, Roberts was a vote in dissent. But with Kennedy’s retirement and replacement by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, many conservatives had hoped the result in the Louisiana case would be different. Not so, Roberts wrote: “The result in this case is controlled by our decision four years ago.”

Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects some 650,000 young immigrants from deportation.

Roberts wrote the court’s opinion, joined by the four liberal justices.

Everyone agreed that the administration can end DACA, but the dispute was whether it had been done properly. Roberts said no, writing that the administration had, among other things, failed to consider “what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients.”

Trump has already said he will renew his effort to end DACA.

ment. The ruling didn’t divide the court like the abortion and immigration rulings, however. Six of the justices — Roberts, the court’s four liberals and Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch — ruled against the Trump administration and in favor of the LGBT plaintiffs in the cases. Gorsuch wrote the opinion, which Roberts joined.

at the U.S.-Mexico border and upholding the administration’s travel ban. At this time last year, he handed Republicans a huge victory protecting even the most extreme partisan electoral districts from federal court challenge. But, on the same day, he served the Trump administration a defeat, writing an opinion that kept a citizenship question off the 2020 census.

Even on Monday, Roberts and the conservatives united in two other cases, ruling that the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is unconstitutional and to uphold a provision of federal law that requires foreign affiliates of U.S.-based health organizations to denounce prostitution as a condition of receiving taxpayer money to fight AIDS around the world.

Ask Dr. H: COVID-19 — too little, too late?

C4 | TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2020

DR. CHARLES HURBIS So, what has happened in the country since our last column?

Well, Memorial Day festivities, black lives matter rallies and further opening up of the country.

Where has this left us now a few weeks later? Well, exactly where we’d expect to be. The virus is spreading uncontrolled through new parts of the country and only plateauing in others.

The overall trend, if you exclude early success in New York, continues to escalate up quite a bit. Most areas of the country are setting records daily. A virus spreads through contact. The more contact the more cases.

It’s pretty simple. As a good example, New Zealand shut down quickly in this pandemic to prevent contact, isolated their known cases and is now safely opening up. Currently, they are experiencing one new case per week. By contrast, the U.S. has jumped back up to 23,000 per day (actually, now well over 45,000 by press time). When correcting for the population difference, our daily rate is over 4,000 times that of New Zealand.

Does this sound like a country that needs to be opening up even more? With the upsurge in

The World

cases, certain establishments are independently rethinking their reopening plans. Many restaurants are closing again, going back to a carry-out only model.

They feel that the risk is too high for their employees and that it is difficult to remain profitable with the distancing rules. Movie theaters are starting to backpedal, now insisting that patrons wear masks, major sports franchises are cancelling pre-season training and Apple has started to close some of its retail stores again.

But as Pat Benatar says, were our efforts a little too little, a little too late? And, is America now giving up on curtailing this pandemic? Perhaps the genie is already out of the bottle? It seems that we are now headed down the path of “herd immunity” instead of containment. This will require a large number of people becoming infected (50+ %), letting the chips fall where they may. But, is this a good approach? Not if you look at countries which decided to adopt this approach from the get-go. One such country is Sweden. Sweden, as would be expected, has sustained a much higher level of infection and death than any other Scandinavian country by a huge margin. The problem is, “herd immunity” seems hard to come by, and has been developing at a much slower rate than most had expected. As it turns out, a mild infection does not necessarily produce immunity at all. COVID-19 is an entirely new infection. We do not truly understand it yet.

Also, there are already multi-

ple strains of this virus circulating, so immunity may become a moving target. It seems different parts of the country have circulated varied forms of the virus. The New York strain has been mostly respiratory specific in its attack.

In Chicago, researchers have identified two unique strains.

According to Dr. Egon Ozer of Northwest University, “The genetic differences in the viruses are associated with the characteristics of the infections they cause.” Each form of COVID will exhibit its own unique virulence, which explains, at least in part, why this virus may affect different populations differently.

They may vary in transmissibility, severity of the infection, systems attacked, the potential for long term sequelae and the ability to develop host immunity.

Back to “herd immunity,” is this truly what we want? The post infectious sequelae are the issue here. Maybe the death rate is “only” 4%, but what is the quality of life of those left behind? The longer this pandemic persists, the more we learn about the consequences of surviving? This virus has proven the potential to produce long-standing issues with hypercoagulability leading to delayed emboli, neuralgias, renal dysfunction, pulmonary compromise, cardiac issues, permanent smell and taste loss, memory loss, anxiety, panic attacks and episodes of sudden death long after “recovery.” Even those who don’t suffer these more severe sequelae describe themselves as seemingly “living in a fog,” as if with a

perpetual hangover. Is this what we want for over 50% of our population? I’m thinking no? This doesn’t even consider the horror of going through the infection in the first place, an experience described with the following quotes in a recent NY Times article: “Feeling of an anvil on my chest,” “Like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson,” “Like having my body taken over by aliens, one organ at a time,” “It seemed like new fires were starting everywhere,” “Would keep relapsing just as I’d start feeling better,” “You never know where the virus is going to take you next,” etc. This goes on for two-to-eight weeks.

Worldwide, there is a new surge in cases with the WHO issuing a “dangerous phase” warning. Hotspots now are Brazil, India and interestingly China again. China, where they had once declared victory over the virus, is now having a large breakout in Beijing. Interestingly, they immediately imposed travel restrictions and new lockdowns.

It seems the country that brought this gift to the rest of the world doesn’t want it back now. Only 36 countries are seeing declining or stable numbers, compared to 81 with increasing numbers, some parabolically. In the U.S., the sunbelt as well as the warmer eastern areas such as Florida, South Carolina and Oklahoma are seeing a substantial surge in new cases. This is especially interesting as we were originally told the virus wouldn’t do as well during the summer heat and cases would likely taper off by June.

Regarding Oregon, we are hitting daily records of coronavirus cases, averaging over 200 per day. There is an Episcopal Church in Union county that boasts over 236 members with the virus.

Clearly, this extreme example likely involved multiple “super spreaders” as they are called and a highly virulent strain. But since you don’t know who those people are going to be, reopening clearly wasn’t the answer.

Just because something is allowed does not mean it is safe (or necessary). Should I be hanging out in a bar, go out in close company with a group of friends?

Part of being human is interaction.

We have been denied this now for months and it’s getting harder to tolerate. Responsible people do take risks every day, but we need to seriously consider who else our actions may impact and what the consequences may be. Most of those dying are the elderly, and if you infect an older relative because of your immediate need for a margarita, was that a selfish choice?

Also consider the 600 healthcare workers who have died because of this pandemic. These people had families and lives they’d expected to live out. When they die because of something we “just wanted to do,” was that a selfish choice? I’m hoping most of us would say that it was.

Let’s continue to work together on this one. It’s not going to be over for a while. Make wise choices, protect yourself and stay safe. But first and foremost, think of others.

J.W. Mitchell’s auto dismantled by thieves

Jury awards $29 million in fen-phen suit

All that is left when found consists of wheels and part of the engine J.W. Mitchell of North Bend has recovered his stolen auto, at least a portion of it which was left after the thieves had carried away all they could move. The auto was literally stripped of everything that could be moved. It was stolen from Mr. Mitchell’s residence about 11 o’clock Friday night and was found by a boy in West Marshfield Sunday morning and reported to Chief Carter.

The auto thief had taken the lights, the horn, an extra tire and rim, the battery and everything else that could be removed and an effort had been made to take off the wheels. All that was left consisted of the wheels and that much of the engine which could not be dismantled.

50 YEARS — 1970 Powers chief in gun duel POWERS — A Powers man remained in critical condition today at Keizer Memorial Hospital following a reported shooting incident here Thursday night involving Chief of Police Douglas Rathbun.

A hospital spokesman said the man, Thoedore Ford, received gunshot wounds in the arm and stomach.

Contacted this morning by The World, Chief Rathbun said the shooting occurred when he responded to a family disturbance call about 9:40 p.m. on Fir Street.

According to Rathbun, when he arrived at the scene someone fired at him several times before he was able to get out of his patrol car. Still inside the patrol car, Rathbun returned the fire hitting his alleged assailant twice.

Brookings cuts down lighting

By Marge Barrett Correspondent BROOKINGS — More than 50 per cent of the street lights in Brookings will be turned off effective July 1 because funds for their operation were cut from the newly adopted city budget, Mayor Harold Young said Monday night at a budget hearing.

The cut for lighting was $5,150, when the council reworked the budget, making several major cuts following the defeat of a tax measure May 26 in the primary election.

Young said only 57 of the city’s 130 street lights will be operated this year. The 57 lights are furnished under a franchise

Nine of the twelve jurors hearing testimony in Coos County Circuit Court agreed on all counts that American Home Products, the New Jersey-based corporation that made and marked the now-withdrawn drug, is responsible for Juanity Batson’s and Richard Wirt’s valvular heart disease. The jurors also said the company knowingly failed to warn customers and physicians of potential dangers of the drug and that it acted fraudulently when labeling the product.

Student vision gives high school new look

Sanjay Prasad, who graduated this spring and was the school’s student body president, combined his senior project with that of 1999 graduate Leah Ramos to create a new entrance to the high school. At the high school entrance, two courtyards, one with flags and another with a bell, will be framed by a concrete and brick wall with benches on top for students to sit on.

Philip’s Park Winchester Bay comes together to remember 9-year-old

By Janet Fitzgerald Staff Writer WINCHESTER BAY — Eric and Janet Boe can see a portion of the small park on Beach Boulevard from their home half a block away on Broadway Avenue. Their son, Philip, played in the briar-filled lot almost daily before the 9-year-old was fatally hit by a car in Reedsport three years ago.

Now, thanks to a communitywide effort in this town of about 500, the public area has become “Phillip’s Park” and will be dedicated officially as the Philip Boe Memorial Park sometime in July.

The prickly weeds and antiquated play equipment of yesterday are gone. In their place is bright green sod and landscaping, a new swing set and climbing apparatus, picnic tables, barbecue grills, a half-court basketball area, lighting and a rainy-season gazebo.
