Feds authorize Jordan Cove State approval still needed for liquid gas terminal to be built Associated Press The Trump administration on Monday formally authorized exports from a proposed Oregon natural-gas terminal, the first on the U.S. West Coast.

Energy Secretary Dan Brouil-

lette signed the order for the proposed Jordan Cove liquid natural gas terminal in Coos Bay. Monday’s approval for the project, which would target markets in Asia, is part of an administration push to promote U.S. oil and gas production and export despite mounting scientific warnings about fossil fuels damaging the climate.

Oregon officials, including Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, say state approval is still need-

ed before the project can go forward.

“The governor will not stand for any attempt to ignore Oregon’s authority to protect public safety, health, or the environment,” said Brown’s spokeswoman Nikki Fisher. “Political actions by the Trump Administration do not change the fact that the project does not have the state permits to be built.”

Brouillette said in a statement that the project “encapsulates

what the Trump administration has been working hard on for the past three years – providing reliable, affordable, and cleaner-burning natural gas to our allies around the world.”

Owned by Canada’s Pembina Pipeline Corp., the terminal would have federal authority to export up to 1.08 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas, from both the United States and Canada.

about expected harm from the terminal and its 230-mile feeder pipeline in southern Oregon to threatened wildlife species and to landowners had slowed the project previously.

The administration’s export authorization for the Oregon project comes as legal challenges and slumping consumer energy demand amid the coronavirus pandemic and recession block some of the country’s most prominent oil and gas pipeline projects.

NB Police face down financial situation JILLIAN WARD The World

NORTH BEND — The City of North Bend’s current method of paying for police services is “unsustainable,” according to North Bend Police Chief Robert Kappelman.

“Right now through the contract with The Mill Casino, which we are contractually obligated to uphold, and through the use of contingency funds we are able to keep enough officers on to supply the city with 24 hours of coverage,” Kappelman said, but added that “Contingency funds should not normally be used for personnel and the city’s contingency funds are not a size that makes this a sustainable plan. We’re just trying to do the best we can with the budget we’re afforded.”

Fireworks on the Fourth of July in Bandon were not expected, but Anthony Zunino, a local business owner who’s also the Chamber of Commerce president, used his own funds to treat residents and visitors to a surprise show. Zunino was able to obtain all the necessary permits because he’s a trained fireworks handler and is the person who puts on Bandon’s show each year, as well as the one at the Mill Casino-Hotel and RV Resort and others in Oregon.

Coos Bay police and fire personnel handed out American flags throughout town on Saturday, July 4 to celebrate the holiday.

Members of the Bandon VFW and from the community held a car parade on the Fourth of July, starting at the VFW Hall and winding through town as far as Seabird Drive, looping around several times. Above, the parade passes through City Park by the Veterans Memorial. The informal parade received cheers from people everywhere it passed by.

Downtown Coos Bay bar may lose liquor license Coos Bay City Council will discuss Sky Bar at meeting tonight AMY MOSS STRONG The World

COOS BAY — Based on what Coos Bay Police Chief Gary McCullough describes as a “large number of incidents” involving alleged sex abuse, drugs, fights,

disorderly conduct and minors at the Sky Bar, the popular night spot might not be allowed to renew its liquor license.

At the recommendation of McCullough and based on documentation provided, Coos Bay City Manager Rodger Craddock has recommended denial of Sky Bar’s liquor license. The bar is located at 158 Central Ave. in downtown Coos Bay. The matter will be discussed at Tuesday’s City Council meeting

starting at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at Coos Bay City Hall, but will be live-streamed on Facebook and available via Zoom if pre-arranged.

Sky Bar business owner Skylar Arment has requested an appeal of the decision before the City Council.

Craddock asked the council to review the information provided about the ongoing issues at Sky Bar and make a decision on Tuesday.

In May, the owners of Sky Bar LLC submitted a 2020-21 liquor license renewal application.

“A review of the records available to the Coos Bay Police Department show information which may prohibit, in the interest of public safety, the approval of this renewal license application,” Craddock wrote to the council.

Kappelman told The World that as of Monday, the department has 18 sworn officers on staff even after budget cuts. This includes himself and the two School Resource Officers paid for by the North Bend School District.

“We have a total, after reduction of the detective staffing, 13 (officers) on patrol,” he said. “I could cover 24-hours with five people, but whether it’s safe or advisable is a completely different story.”

Having an officer always on-call qualifies North Bend for mutual aid, or support from neighboring law enforcement agencies. Without having an officer on-call, such as the previously anticipated 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. police service gap, the city couldn’t ask for help from neighboring agencies except the Coos County Sheriff’s Office which has 13 deputies on patrol.

When asked about the benefit of mutual aid, Kappelman argued that “mutual aid is great if someone is available … When an officer works alone, they’re not safe.”

Kappelman stated that due to the reduced staffing levels, the department will handle “certain calls a different way than before.” “… A low-level theft may be handled through a citizens’ self-report form,” he said as an example. “That doesn’t mean we aren’t handling the case or don’t document the case or input the case into our system, it just means (citizens) may talk to an officer or a staff member over the phone rather than have an officer report to the scene.”

Coos County has three more COVID-19 cases CHW, Leon said the three new cases are unrelated to the recent COVID-19 cluster outbreaks seen in the county. The three new cases are all adult males from 40 to 60 years old.

“It is not clear if they have been infected within Coos County or outside,” Leon said. “We don’t have those details yet.”

Two of the three live in the same household. All three pursued testing through a doctor and have not been admitted to a hospital. Leon stated that at least two have symptoms that include a cough.

Of the cases seen over the last month, one has been hospitalized. In an update during Monday’s press briefing, Leon said the hospitalized patient was tested for COVID-19 again but the test came back negative. He

JILLIAN WARD The World

COOS COUNTY — Three new cases of COVID-19 are being reported in Coos County.

Of the total 45 local cases seen of the new coronavirus, 17 are unassociated with the previous Shutter Creek Correctional Institution outbreak.

In the last month, 13 cases were reported in the community.

In just the last two weeks, nine of those 13 cases were reported.

“We need to reverse the path we’re on,” said Brian Leon, epidemiologist with Coos Health and Wellness. “It’s going to be a state-level issue if we get backed up for our opening status.”

During Monday afternoon’s regular press briefing from

said this did not come as a surprise since the patient has been sick for four weeks.

“It’s not uncommon that people within a couple of weeks, even if they are still sick, the virus itself is less likely to be detected by a test,” Leon said, adding that as far as he knew the patient was still in the ICU. When asked whether CHW questions if COVID-19 patients wore a mask if traveling, Leon said they “hesitate to ask questions where answers may not be reliable.”

“I know from interviews, even just getting information like (if) people traveled, (people) get sheepish and know they probably shouldn’t have,” Leon said. “…

The people who say the (masks) don’t work — I believe there is

no convincing them at this point.

They’ve had every medical expert and public health expert telling them they need to wear a mask and if they don’t trust them I’m not sure if anecdotes will work.”

CHW’s Incident Commander Eric Gleason said that “If we can’t find a way as a community to be more mindful of our face coverings and social distancing, we will eventually — if things get much worse — go backwards.”

Gleason said CHW recognizes that data shows increases in COVID-19 cases after major holidays, having seen it after Memorial Day, and are expecting the same now that the Fourth of July has ended.

Leon pointed to a list of eight counties in the state that Gov.

Kate Brown placed on a “Watch List” because they have the highest rates of “sporadic” transmission — i.e., cases that do not have a clear epidemiological link to other outbreaks or clusters of infections and therefore indicate that the virus is spreading uncontained in a community.

The counties include Jefferson, Lake, Lincoln, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union and Wasco. The “Watch List” counties will be closely monitored as cases continue to spike. If the cases continue to increase, those counties are at risk of going backwards to earlier reopening phases or be evaluated for other restrictions.

“If we don’t mitigate the case count increase in our own county shortly, we could end up on the same list,” Gleason said.

tests, 5.3 percent were positive. Oregon’s number of tests performed has been steadily increasing, but the number of positive cases and the test positivity rate have increased significantly since late May. 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.

CB City Council to discuss diversity resolution AMY MOSS STRONG The World

COOS BAY — The Coos Bay City Council will consider a resolution at Tuesday’s regular meeting supporting a commitment to racial equality.

Adoption of Resoution 20-19: Supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Within the City of Coos Bay is on the council’s meeting agenda, set for 7 p.m. in council chambers of City Hall. The meeting will be livestreamed on Facebook and via Zoom.

Council President Lucinda DiNovo requested the resolution with full support of the entire council, including Mayor Joe Benetti and councilors Phil Marler, Drew Farmer, Stephanie Kilmer, Carmen Matthews and Rob Miles.

During the June 16 council

meeting, councilors joined others in the community in speaking out against racism and social injustice, especially in light of recent racist graffiti found in the community. Councilor DiNovo asked the council to consider adopting a resolution in commitment to racial equality and to commit to the training of city staff and elected officials, in a concerted effort to make the community more inclusive, where all people can be safe and thrive.

A committee comprising Councilors DiNovo, Miles and Matthews worked together in drafting the resolution for the council’s consideration.

Also at the last council meeting, Tristan Avelis of Coos Bay, via video, urged the council to release a public statement to speak out against injustice, racism and bigotry and “represent those in the community that need

your representation and influence the most.”

Councilor DiNovo thanked Avelis for his comments, thanked City Manager Rodger Craddock for providing information from the League of Oregon Cities regarding its Race Equity And Leadership initiative to strengthen local leaders’ knowledge and capacity to eliminate racial disparities and build more equitable communities, and requested the council to draft a resolution.

Police Chief Gary McCullough said the Coos Bay Police Department was having daily morning briefings covering the necessity of all officers to speak up if they see something, had a five-hour online training on civil rights and bias, reviewed bias policy with staff, and, as of July 1, has begun reporting for the state’s STOPS program to document data of all traffic and

pedestrian stops, which will be reviewed by Oregon State Police for profiling.

All of the councilors and Mayor Benetti made comments in agreement of a resolution, saying they are proud the city is making a positive statement and commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment for its citizens and visitors of all backgrounds and thanked the Police Department for its moral integrity. They all agreed that racism, hate and bigotry has no place in the Coos Bay community.

The resolution, expected to be adopted Tuesday, states, in part: NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Coos Bay: 1. Condemn actions of hate, violence, or discrimination directed against any citizen or group, due to their race, ethnicity, nationality or county of

tion,” Craddock wrote to the council.

The information reveals that from February 2019 to March 2020, law enforcement received or responded to 24 separate incidents at the Sky Bar. This included alleged sex abuse, female(s) who reported being drugged while at the bar, visibly intoxicated individuals (one of whom was transported to the hospital), altercations (fights, assaults, disorderly conduct, disputes, etc.), minors found in the bar who were allegedly being served adult beverages (one of whom was allegedly unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon) and alleged theft and criminal mischief.

“As the bar (has) been closed since March 23, 2020 under Governor Brown’s Executive Order related to COVID-10 restrictions, it could be assumed there could have been more reported incidents,” Craddock wrote.

“This is an unacceptable number of calls and is certainly significantly out of proportion to calls for assistance at other establishments in the City with liquor licenses,” Craddock wrote in a letter to Arment on June 16, informing him that he was going to recommend denial of his Oregon Liquor Control Commission renewal license.

grant from United Way of Southwestern Oregon in the amount of $1,000 from the Nonprofit Organization Emergency Fund.

“Our COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund provides grant awards to Coos County and Curry County nonprofit organizations needing assistance due to conditions caused directly by the COVID-19 pandemic,” states United Way’s mission for the Nonprofit

Organization Emergency Fund.

Star of Hope Activity Center is a nonprofit organization founded in 1964 to provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities in Coos County.

The grant award will be used to provide vital personal protective equipment to individuals supported in the center’s Supported Living Pro-

gram, such as masks, gloves, sanitizer, extra soaps and cleaners for their homes.

Individuals in this program live independently in the community and on very limited incomes, most falling well below the poverty level.

“We are deeply grateful for this grant to keep some of our most vulnerable citizens protected during the COVID-19 pandemic,”

While the owner could have reopened business in May, it still remains closed, after building officials learned that the owner (or persons under his control) were allegedly making unlawful structural alterations to the building and had unlawfully been removing and disposing of materials containing asbestos.

On May 27, the Coos Bay building official issued a “stop work” order, which was posted on the entrances of the building. Such an order restricts individuals from entering the building without the approval of the building official. On June 10, the building official stopped by and find workers in the building, despite the stop work order, and prior to having a licensed hazardous material contractor remove all of the loose asbestos-containing material.

“To this date, the bar owner has yet to submit permit applications for structural and mechanical repairs, (and) he has had a licensed hazardous materials contractor remove the remaining asbestos containing materials,” wrote Craddock.

Currently the bar owner is facing enforcement action from both OLCC and the Department of Environmental Quality.

“My staff as well as OLCC inspector Whitmer have met with Mr. Arment and his staff on a couple of different occasions to discuss the issues at his busi-

ness and police responses necessary to mitigate the issues,” Chief McCullough wrote in his report to the City Council.

“Each and every time we were told that he has been working to limit the issues. However, the number of calls to the Sky Bar remain consistent and increase at times,” McCullough wrote.

The city is concerned about the safety of renovating the historic American Building, where Sky Bar is located. “... The last thing the City of Coos Bay wishes is an incident similar to what has occurred across the United States where a public building has collapsed, causing deaths to hundreds of patrons because of unpermitted structural work done to buildings,” McCullough wrote.

In a letter dated June 22 addressed to the Coos Bay City Council, Arment apologized several times, saying he has had staffing issues and that the club scene was “not what I expected. We were good in the beginning, but 2019 was rough.”

“As far as the remodel, we had someone who (we) thought we could trust, they have been let go and my apologies if they have stepped out of bounds,” Arment wrote, adding that he removed parts of the floor because it was rotting and he found traces of mold coming up through the carpet, which was a

health detriment to staff and customers.

“We had no idea there (was) asbestos and once we saw it, we stopped all work on the floor,” wrote Arment and included a certificate proving the asbestos had been safely removed by Arcadia Environmental, a licensed asbestos removal contractor.

Arment said he hired contractors to do the kitchen redesign and remodel and “made it clear that all necessary permits need to be filed with the city to ensure the safety of the staff and customers.”

Arment said he has since taken a more proactive approach to getting things done.

“Obviously, things weren’t getting done properly and for that my apologies,” he wrote.

“We are also converting it more into a restaurant to change the image of the establishment. No more final destination and no more dumping ground for drunks. I hope the city council will see the necessary steps we are making and see the vision we are implementing.”

Arment ended his letter promising to “do better.”

Craddock said the council has several options, including overturning his decision to recommend denial to OLCC, affirming his decision or asking staff to consider revoking or suspending the business license issue to Sky Bar,

origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity; and 2. Reaffirm our shared values of compassion, inclusion, respect and dignity; and our commitment to building an environment in which everyone is valued, while creating a safe space for conversations and learning opportunities; and 3. Commit to undertaking diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training by all members of the City Council and all City employees; and 4. Pledge continued work to develop a stronger consciousness of injustice and bigotry, and to operationalize equity in City policies and practices in an effort to fight racism and inequity; and 5. Support efforts and goals of advancing racial equality, actively and intentionally counteracting racist practices, and the removal of systemic obstructions for People of Color.

GUEST OPINION

Employment scams take hold during downturn Danielle Kane

While employment scams have consistently ranked in the No. 1 or No. 2 spot for Better Business Bureau’s annual riskiest scams report, we’ve recently found that in today’s economic climate, consumers are at a higher risk of falling prey, according to a new survey conducted by BBB*.

Since COVID-19 forced many people to lose their jobs and/or made it unsafe to be in an office, more applicants began looking for work-from-home positions.

In fact, more than half of those we surveyed said the reason they clicked on a phony listing was because it offered the flexibility to work-from-home. However, it is this pool of consumers – unemployed and truly in need of work – that is most susceptible.

Our survey showed that more than half of the people targeted by employment scams (53%) reported being unemployed at the time of the encounter. Moreover, three-quarters of respondents who lost money were already in financial crisis.

These number illustrate that scammers often take advantage of the most vulnerable consumers. So, during these unprecedented times, it is critical that jobseekers remain vigilant as employment scams become increasingly hard to spot.

Bad actors are going to great lengths to dupe consumers by hosting phone calls and Zoom meetings, even providing official-looking offer letters. This is all in an effort to gain personally identifiable information and/or get the consumer to participate in a fake-check scam as part of the process.

• Sometimes it’s personal information that’s lost – our survey found that 26% of consumers unknowingly engaging in a scam gave out their Social Security Number.

• Oftentimes, there’s monetary loss as well. BBB found consumers ages 25-24 lost on average $1,000, while those ages 45-54 and 65+ lost $1,600.

Our findings also show scammers continue to use big-brand names to lure consumers, with Amazon and Walmart being the most common. And there’s a reason for this: 65% of consum-

ers reported they were looking at positions related to “warehouse redistribution coordinator” or a similar title, which really means reshipping stolen products. The use of a misleading euphemism as a job title is an all too common tactic that scammers use to get people to sign onto doing something illegal.

Better Business Bureau offers these tips for consumers and business owners to better protect themselves and, most importantly, learn how to spot legitimate job offerings during these tough times.

If you’re a consumer applying for jobs:

• Be wary of vague descriptions. In order to reach as many people as possible, scammers list job requirements that are broad enough for anyone to qualify.

• Don’t fall for the cushy offer. Many phony listings offer jobs that are just too good to be true. One common theme is the opportunity to make “thousands from the comfort of your coach.”

Think twice.

• Look out for fake checks.

Employment and fake check scams often intersect. Be wary if an “employer” asks you to deposit a check and then wire back funds to another account for training, equipment, technology or onboarding “purposes.”

If you’re a business owner, you can do your part by showing applicants what a legitimate job posting looks like. Consider the following: • Be consistent. Ensure all jobs you post on third-party websites are also posted in an accessible way on your own website so applicants can confirm which jobs are real.

• Centralize the Information.

Be thinking about where you post all open positions and try to keep the information centralized on one or two landing pages.

Also, update your page when a job is no longer available.

• Give Details: Be very specific about your company’s hiring process, what each open position entails and desired qualifications. Remember, con artists rely on broad descriptions, so the more detailed your listing is, the more confidence a consumer will have.

Virus or economy is a futile choice Florida, Arizona, Texas and California are among the states that thought they could reopen early. They also got sloppy with requirements for wearing masks and social distancing. Now their ICUs are stretched to breaking with coronavirus patients.

And guess what. For all that putting the public’s health in jeopardy to help their economies, their economies are sick as well.

A new Morning Consult poll strongly suggests that consumer confidence will not turn into spending without virus confidence. More than half those surveyed said they didn’t feel safe inside a shopping center, according to Bloomberg News.

The article featured a photo of a nearly deserted mall in Tucson.

A silent majority is watching maskless masses frolic on crowded beaches, carouse at bars or attend Donald Trump’s rallies, and it’s not seeing freedom. It’s seeing disease. It’s seeing narcissism, ignorance and a feeble political leadership incapable of enforcing discipline.

In May, a man went haywire at a 99 Cents Only Store in San Antonio after being told he had to wear a mask. “Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t make it legal!” he hollered.

Actually, the store had the right to require masks.

But the public safety message would have gone smoother had Texas Gov. Greg Abbott not refused to make mask wearing a state mandate. Abbott recently reversed himself on this, but early action might have spared Texas its current crisis.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis still refuses to require mask

FROMA HARROP wearing in public. DeSantis said he trusts people “to make good decisions.”

One of those good decisions might be to avoid Florida. Last Sunday, Florida reported 10,059 new coronavirus cases. New York state, once the epicenter of the pandemic, had 536 -- and it did more testing.

The economic consequences of a virus on the rampage are obvious. Only two weeks ago, the top search on TripAdvisor was for Miami Beach. One week later, New York City outranked almost all Florida and California cities on the travel research website. And that’s with museums and Broadway still shut.

As for trusting people to make good decisions, neither Florida nor any other state trusts bargoers to drive home blind drunk.

So why let them infect innocents with an often-deadly virus?

New York City just entered phase 3 of its reopening. That includes nail salons and tattoo parlors. Indoor restaurant dining has been put off -- a precaution linked to the virus’ advances elsewhere in the country. New York has matched Europe in

curbing the spread, and the state doesn’t want the huge sacrifices forced on its people to be for naught.

There’s a matter of optics as well as numbers. Can the people trust their politicians to make good decisions?

Consider the forceful response to partygoers who ignited a new COVID cluster just north of New York City. Several attendees of the three house parties refused to cooperate with contact tracers. Some even lied about having been there.

There was little outpouring of sympathy for the young revelers.

No chants about freedom.

“I am not going to stand idly by while you risk the health of this county,” Rockland County Executive Ed Day said. “With those subpoenas, a failure to comply brings with it a $2,000 fine. That could be repeated every day.”

And what about local economies once the worst has passed?

The Morning Consult poll showed that half the respondents weren’t keen even then on entering a movie theatre, sports stadium or concert venue. Twothirds said they’d rather patronize restaurants where employees wear a mask and tables are spaced out.

And so the choice isn’t between the virus or the economy.

Where the virus prospers, the economy surrenders.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR All states should coordinate voter registration I recently read a Letter to the Editor in the Epoch Times Newspaper, regarding voter fraud. It caught my attention as it was from a resident of Oregon. She and her husband moved from South Dakota in July 2019, established residency and applied to vote in the May election. They both received letters from SD to apply for absentee ballots to also vote in that election. Due to a work situation her husband established residency in Arizona, and subsequently registered to vote in that state.

The two of them could of voted a total of 5 times.

Because of their strong moral compass, they voted only in Oregon. She questioned to how many Americans would of used this opportunity to sway votes in their candidates favor.

I now question the automatic registration and push for

mail-in voting. Until all states coordinate voter registration, perhaps we should reconsider the requirement of polling stations and certainly, voter ID. I’m also hearing more and more complaints about Registered Republicans receiving wrong ballots, or not receiving ballots at all. I worry that this upcoming election will be the most dishonest in history.

Lona D. Yeiter Coquille Commissioner Bob Main will not get my vote I listened to the recent Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting regarding the beaver trapping ban in the national forests. The intent of the ban was to protect our declining fisheries. Beavers are a “keystone species,” an organism whose pond-creating powers support entire biological communities. In Oregon, a host of threatened and endan-

gered salmon and steelhead runs depend on them.

A growing body of evidence suggests that by creating ponds, storing water, and converting straight streams into multi-threaded ones, beavers expand shelter for young fish and keep creeks well-hydrated. One 1992 study found that two-thirds of Oregon’s coastal coho overwintered in beaver ponds and slack waters. In its coho recovery plan, the National Marine Fisheries Service recommends “encouraging the formation of beaver dams.”

I was surprised to learn our Commissioner Bob Main testified at the ODFW Commission meeting that he wanted to support beaver trapping and was against any rule changes.

Under the current rules trappers only have to check their traps every 7 days. Seven days in a trap is nothing short of cruel.

The same goes for the cyanide poisoning across Oregon.

Charles Erickson Coos Bay Take your pick, Mr. Snyder The Washington Redskins National Football League franchise is a disgrace! In the year 2020, Washington team owner Daniel Snyder cannot possibly continue to rationalize keeping his ridiculously racist team name in the face of widespread, righteous public condemnation of Snyder’s racist recalcitrance.

Our nation’s capitol’s team name “The Redskins” will be retired before this football season begins, if Representative Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) has anything to say about it: “The time [for the name] has ended.

There is no way to justify it.

You either step into this century or you don’t. It’s up to the owner of the team to do that.

In 1997, Washington, D.C.’s National Basketball Association franchise willingly changed its name from “The Bullets” to “The Wizards”. So what’s Daniel Snyder’s problem (other than being a bigot)?

As silly as some of these monikers are below, any one of them would be preferable to Washington D.C.’s current NFL team name.

The World

PPE again starts to run low Associated Press The personal protective gear that was in dangerously short supply during the early weeks of the coronavirus crisis in the U.S. is running low again as the virus resumes its rapid spread and the number of hospitalized patients climbs.

A national nursing union is concerned that gear has to be reused. A doctors association warns that physicians’ offices are closed because they cannot get masks and other supplies.

And Democratic members of Congress are pushing the Trump administration to devise a national strategy to acquire and distribute gear in anticipation of the crisis worsening into the fall.

“We’re five months into this and there are still shortages of gowns, hair covers, shoe covers, masks, N95 masks,” said

Deborah Burger, president of National Nurses United, who cited results from a survey of the union’s members. “They’re being doled out, and we’re still being told to reuse them.”

When the crisis first exploded in March and April in hot spots such as New York City, the situation was so desperate that nurses turned plastic garbage bags into protective gowns.

The lack of equipment forced states and hospitals to compete against each other, the federal government and other countries in desperate, expensive bidding wars.

In general, supplies of protective gear are more robust now, and many states and major hospital chains say they are in better shape. But medical professionals and some lawmakers have cast doubt on those improvements as shortages begin to reappear.

Dr. Aisha Terry, an associate professor of emergency medicine at George Washington University in Washington, said that she has good access to PPE, but some non-academic and rural health facilities have much less.

“I think overall, production, distribution and access has improved,” Terry said. “But the fear is that we will become complacent” and allow supplies to dwindle in some places.

In a letter to Congress last week, the health department in DuPage County, Illinois, near Chicago, said all hospitals in the county are reusing protective gear “in ways that were not originally intended and are probably less safe than the optimal use of PPE.” The DuPage County department is a supplier of last resort that steps in when facilities have less than two weeks’ worth of

gear. As of Monday, it had only nine days of some supplies at the current request level. A rise in new infections could make the supply go much faster.

The American Medical Association wrote to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress calling for a coordinated national strategy to buy and allocate gear.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a New York Democrat, released a memo last week ahead of a congressional committee hearing that raised concerns about looming problems in the supply chain. Her report was based on interviews with unnamed employees at medical supply companies, one of whom warned that raw material for gowns is not available at any price in the amounts needed, leading to an “unsustainable” situation.

New rules: Foreign college students must leave United States if classes go online Associated Press

International students will be forced to leave the U.S. or transfer to another college if their schools offer classes entirely online this fall, under new guidelines issued Monday by federal immigration authorities.

The guidelines, issued

by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, provide additional pressure for universities to reopen even amid growing concerns about the recent spread of COVID-19 among young adults. Colleges received the guidance the same day that some institutions, including Harvard University, announced that all instruction will be offered remotely.

President Donald Trump has insisted that schools and colleges return to in-person instruction as soon as possible. Soon after the guidance was released, Trump repeated on Twitter that schools must reopen this fall, adding that Democrats want to keep schools closed “for political reasons, not

for health reasons.”

“They think it will help them in November. Wrong, the people get it!” Trump wrote.

Under the updated rules, international students must take at least some of their classes in person. New visas will not be issued to students at schools or programs that are entirely online. And even at colleges offering a mix of in-person and online courses this fall, international students will be barred from taking all their classes online.

It creates an urgent dilemma for thousands of international students who became stranded in the U.S. last spring after the coronavirus forced their schools to move online. Those attending schools that are staying online must “depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction,” according to the guidance.

The American Council on Education, which represents university presidents, said the guidelines are “horri-

fying” and will result in confusion as schools look for ways to reopen safely.

Of particular concern is a stipulation saying students won’t be exempt from the rules even if an outbreak forces their schools online during the fall term. It’s unclear what would happen if a student ended up in that scenario but faced travel restrictions from their home country, said Terry Hartle, the council’s senior vice president.

“It’s going to cause enormous confusion and uncertainty,” Hartle said. “ICE is clearly creating an incentive for institutions to reopen, regardless of whether or not the circumstances of the pandemic warrant it.”

The international education group NAFSA blasted the rules and said schools should be given the authority to make decisions that are right for their own campuses. It said the guidance “is harmful to international students and puts their health and well-being and that of the entire higher ed-

Judge orders Dakota Access pipeline shut down FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A judge on Monday ordered the Dakota Access pipeline shut down for additional environmental review more than three years after it began pumping oil — handing a victory to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and delivering a blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to weaken public health and environmental protections his administration views as obstacles to businesses.

In a 24-page order, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., wrote that he was “mindful of the disruption” that shutting down the pipeline would cause, but that it must be done within 30 days. Pipeline owner Energy Transfer plans to ask a court to halt the order and will seek an expedited appeal, spokeswoman Vicki Granado said.

The order comes after Boesberg said in April that a more extensive review was necessary than what the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers already conducted and that he would consider whether the pipeline should be shuttered during the new assessment.

“The Court does not reach its decision with blithe disregard for the lives it will affect,” Boasberg wrote Monday.

“Yet, given the seriousness of the Corps’ NEPA (National Environmental

Policy Act) error, the impossibility of a simple fix, the fact that Dakota Access did assume much of its economic risk knowingly, and the potential harm each day the pipeline operates, the Court is forced to conclude that the flow of oil must cease,” he added.

The findings may challenge the legal footing for the Trump administration’s most momentous environmental rollbacks. Trump surrounded himself with industry leaders and workers in hard hats this Jan-

uary when he announced plans to overhaul the rules for enforcing NEPA. The Dakota Access pipeline was the subject of months of protests in 2016 and 2017, sometimes violent, during its construction near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border. The tribe pressed litigation against the pipeline even after it began carrying oil from North Dakota across South Dakota and Iowa and to a shipping point in Illinois in June 2017.

ucation community at risk.”

Nearly 400,000 foreigners received student visas in the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30, down more than 40% from four years earlier.

School administrations partly blame visa processing delay.

Colleges across the U.S. were already expecting sharp decreases in international enrollment this fall, but losing all international students could be disastrous for some.

Many depend on tuition revenue from international students, who typically pay higher tuition rates. Last year, universities in the U.S. attracted nearly 1.1 million students from abroad.

Trump’s critics were quick to attack the new guidelines.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, said the “cruelty of this White House knows no bounds.”

“Foreign students are being threatened with a choice: risk your life going to class in-person or get deported,” Sanders said in a tweet. “We must stand up to Trump’s bigotry. We must keep all our students safe.”

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren Family breadwinner gives good health short shrift

DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful husband of almost 20 years and two teenage children. My husband is incredibly hardworking in his stressful career and has provided a very comfortable life for us. The trouble is, he puts work ahead of any self-care. He works most waking hours, doesn’t eat well, exercises rarely, is overweight -- the list goes on. When I ask/encourage/nag him to make positive lifestyle choices, he reminds me of the life insurance he has and turns it around on me and says I am stressing him.

Abby, I love my husband, and I worry that this will cut his life and our life together short. Can you help? -- BESIDE MYSELF WITH WORRY

DEAR BESIDE YOURSELF: I wish I could wave a magic wand and make your husband receptive to what you are trying to do for him. But until he’s ready to address these issues and do something about them, nothing will change.

If he enjoys his career and takes pride in the fact that you and your children are -- and will be -- provided for, then he’s living the life he has chosen for himself.

This does not mean you must give up entirely suggesting healthy lifestyle choices, but perhaps do it a little less often and in terms of activities he might enjoy.

DEAR ABBY: After a long and successful life, my uncle recently passed away. His wife is my mother’s sister.

During one of our phone calls, she told me she and my cousins had written his obituary and that it would be published soon. To my shock and dismay, I located the obituary and discovered that my sister and I were not mentioned as his niece and nephew. I am still terribly hurt. Why would they do this?

My sister and I grew up spending every major holiday and birthday with my uncle. The obituary did include his other niece and nephew who live on the opposite side of the country and kept in touch only with an occasional phone call and holiday card. I included my cousins in my parents’ and sister’s obituaries, all of whom have passed in the last few years.

I feel that I must address this with them, but I don’t want to add to the pain they are going through while they mourn their loss. I now dread attending the memorial because I’m worried friends of our family may bring it up, and I won’t know what to say. -- HURT NEPHEW IN ILLINOIS DEAR NEPHEW: Even when a death is expected, many people go into a state of shock, which interferes with their ability to sequence facts. It is entirely possible that the obituary was written when your aunt and cousins weren’t thinking straight, which is why you were omitted. If someone brings it up at the memorial -- which I doubt will happen -- rather than nurse hurt feelings, I hope you will point out that the family, including you, is grieving. Period.

DEAR ABBY: How do you politely ask a neighbor to mow his lawn at reasonable times of the day? Mine seems to be doing it three days a week and always when we want to enjoy our backyard. -TRYING TO RELAX DEAR TRYING: If you are on speaking terms with this neighbor, explain that the noise from his lawnmower interferes with your ability to enjoy your backyard and ask POLITELY if he could schedule it at another hour of the day.

If he is a good neighbor, he should be willing to accommodate you.

Demonstrators advocate for ‘Safer as One’ city JILLIAN WARD The World

COOS BAY — A peaceful demonstration gathered on the Coos Bay Boardwalk on Sunday, standing for a safer community.

Local activist Jay Brown said the group was there to advocate for equality and a “Safer As One” city. “(Safer As One) is a proposal we’re sending to city officials and the police department to work alongside their community,” she said. “Safer As One would be multiple people from sub-communities and minitories working alongside officials, so when there is a police call we’d send someone from a sub-community to deescalate the situation ….”

She said the project would also include community-building activities like picnics, events to “bring the community together as one group.”

Another activist present

for the afternoon demonstration, Jessica Lacey, pointed to the systemic racism being spotlighted across the country and said the same can be found in Coos Bay. “… It’s not overt racism that’s the most damaging, but the covert racism that’s woven into the fabric of our society and intertwined with every institution of the county,” Lacey said.

Tables were set up on the boardwalk with educational materials for two local projects, as well as a table for voter registration.

One of the tables was for the Alonzo Tucker Project, which is to work with the City of Coos Bay to put in a statue remembering the one documented lynching of a Black man in Oregon — which happened in Coos Bay. The second was for #Justice4Saraya, which is to free a 14-year-old African American teen who has been sentenced to

with other citizens on the beach, according to a press release from Sgt. Jeffrey Winn with the Lincoln City Police Department.

The initial officers arriving on scene in one of the Lincoln City Police Department’s beach ATV’s were immediately surrounded by this group of about 10 people, who began taunting and challenging the officers for seizing illegal fireworks, stated the release.

Several other officers arrived on scene and learned

that this same group of white men had allegedly been taunting and challenging a Black family by yelling racial slurs at them, insulting them and using Nazi salutes towards them.

The Black family advised police they felt intimidated by the actions this group had displayed toward them.

The on-scene officers formed a line between the group and the Black family, allowing them to safely leave the beach and return to their room. During this time, several in the group

juvenile prison for 11 years and get her proper mental health services. She was arrested and sentenced in Coos County.

“I’m cautiously optimistic,” said Shannon Rees, Saraya’s mom, at the boardwalk. “I feel hope for the first time.”

Rees has stood at many of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, quietly holding posters detailing her daughter’s case from last

year. Since speaking out, she has drawn the attention of many media outlets including BuzzFeed News.

On Sunday, she said that the United Minority Alliance has also taken on her daughter’s case while a GoFundMe account has been started to help pay for lawyers needed for future litigation. “… We’re looking forward to getting her out of prison and into an inpatient psychiatric facility where

she should have been to begin with,” Rees said.

Saraya called her mother as the Sunday demonstration began and told The World that the attention to her case has been “overwhelming, but in a good way.”

“I’ve been happier and started talking to more people now,” she said, adding that she is proud of her mom for what she has done for her so far.

Also present during Sunday’s demonstration was Jessica Hunter, who had a red handprint over her mouth to symbolize the missing and murdered indigenous women.

“My main goal today is to educate people on the fact that there are so many missing woman and children in the country in general, but thousands of Native American woman missing and 60 percent of police departments involved in the investigations (have been) proved

they are doing nothing or hand over compromised data,” Hunter said.

She added that she hopes to educate how generational trauma affects Native Americans and other minority groups. “… It is the idea that a person or a whole people can experience a trauma like ethnic cleansing and the defensive behaviors you learn when you’re traumatized is passed on,” she explained. “We’re told to get over what happened in the past, but what happened in the past affects us to this day.”

For now, Lacey said it gives her hope to see events like Sunday’s gathering pop up across the country and rural areas.

While Hunter added, “I’d like to remind people despite the hate in the world we’re your friends, neighbors, teachers, counselors and community members. We’re here fighting for everyone.”

Andrey Zaytsev, 28, Oleg Saranchuk, 45, Ruslan Tkachenko, 22, all of Clark County, Wash., were charged with the following crimes, riot, interfering with police, disorderly conduct II, harassment, possession of illegal fireworks, and offensive littering. They were cited and later released.

An additional male, who refused to identify himself and who had no ID on his person, was transported to the Lincoln County Jail for fingerprint identifica-

tion and charged with the above listed crimes. In addition, Yuriy Kachankov, 30, of Clark County was also charged with the above listed charges along with resisting arrest. He was also cited and later released.

Atlanta mayor Bottoms tests positive for COVID-19 ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Monday that she had tested positive for COVID-19.

The 50-year-old Democrat is among the women named as a potential vice-presidential running mate for presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden.

“COVID-19 has literally hit home. I have had NO symptoms and have tested positive,” Bottoms tweeted.

Police From A1

She told MSNBC that she decided her family members should get tested again because her husband “literally has been sleeping since Thursday.” She said the only other symptoms she and her husband have been experienced are those similar to allergies they have.

“It leaves me for a loss for words because I think it really speaks to how contagious this virus is,” Bottoms told MSNBC.

Public Safety Fee

When asked about other small crimes, such as trespassing, he said it is more difficult. “… If someone is in danger, if there is potential of another crime aside from the trespass itself, we’re going to always err on sending someone but have to remember that we’re still low staffed and there may be a delay in responding because we’re inundated with calls,” he said.

Kappelman said the call volume seen by the department in 2019 totaled 23,110 calls for service.

“We always are committed to (the public’s) safety,” he said. “Each one of us, individually and collectively, and we’re trying to do the best we can with

The topic of how to fund police services in North Bend has been an ongoing tug-of-war between the residents and its City Council, having begun in 2018 when voters said “no” to an increase to its public safety fee.

The fee started out at $5 per month on residents’ water bills, then raised to $15. The public voted down a second increase, which would have made the fee $25 a month. The City Council later decided to make the fee $30, which voters reduced in May back down to $15, cutting the Public Safety budget by $785,000.

Recently the council approved the 2020-2021 budget, which, to make up for the shortfall, included

“We’ve taken all of the precautions that you can possibly take.

We wear masks, we’re very thoughtful about washing our hands, I have no idea when and where we were exposed.”

Bottoms’ national profile has risen in recent months both as a mayor handling the coronavirus pandemic and amid the national reckoning on race that has followed a white Minneapolis police officer’s killing of George

cutting five officers and dissolving two officer positions from the NBPD. It was written into the May ballot measure and discussed during City Council meetings that the reduction would lead to no police coverage from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. starting June 30.

However, the city announced last week in a press release that it would continue 24-hour police coverage by dipping into its contingency funds. It also highlighted an uncertain financial future.

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

• The inability of property taxes to fund public safety.”

Ongoing lawsuit The press release also pointed to an ongoing lawsuit against the city which is challenging the legality of the public safety fee being placed on residents’ monthly water bills.

“Plaintiffs are low-income North Bend residents and subscribers of water and sewer services provided by the Water Board,” read the lawsuit’s initial complaint. “All plaintiffs are residents of Coos

She has also been noted for earlier criticizing Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on his slowness to order Georgians to shelter in place and his quickness to lift that order.

County, where the controversy arose. They live near or below the federal poverty guidelines. Plaintiffs have all paid the Public Safety Fee and continue to pay the Public Safety Fee for fear of losing water and sewer services to their homes.”

The complaint stated that the plaintiffs declared that the city should not be able to impose or spend Public Safety Fee money for uses not related to water or sewer services. The lawsuit seeks relief in the form of “an accounting by a court-appointed auditor to determine the amount of the unauthorized collection; an injunction to halt the collection of the Public Safety Fee; creation of a constructive trust to hold all monies unlawfully collected; granting restitution to plaintiffs and those similarly situated;

and granting attorneys fees under the Common Fund Doctrine.”

It added that ”In the alternative, plaintiffs request the Court to find that (the city) have been unjustly enriched by collecting the Public Safety Fee in contravention of the North Bend City Charter and should be so ordered to return such money.”

In an amended complaint, the amount of restitution was estimated around $192,500. Though it allowed that a “higher number may be determined in the course of discovery, depending on accounting ….”

Meaning, if the city loses the lawsuit it would be required to pay back even the voted on $15 residents are currently paying for the Public Safety Fee. The lawsuit is set to go to trial in September.

Trump takes aim at NASCAR, Wallace WASHINGTON (AP) — NASCAR’s layered relationship with President Donald Trump took a sharp turn Monday when Trump took a sideswipe at the racing organization for banning the Confederate flag and wrongly accused the sport’s only full-time Black driver of perpetrating “a hoax” when a crew member found a noose in the team garage stall.

Trump suggested Bubba Wallace should apologize after the sport rallied around him after the noose was found in his assigned stall at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Federal authorities ruled last month the noose had been hanging since October and

was not a hate crime. NASCAR and the FBI have exclusively referred to the rope — which was used to pull the garage door closed — as a noose.

It was the only garage pull out of 1,684 stalls at 29 inspected NASCAR tracks to be fashioned as a noose.

NASCAR President Steve Phelps has bristled at suggestions the noose was a hoax. Wallace was shown a photograph of the noose, never personally saw it, and was told by NASCAR officials he was the victim of a hate crime.

“Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great

NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX?” Trump tweeted. “That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!” The tweet came after Trump used a pair of Independence Day speeches to dig deeper into America’s divisions by accusing protesters who have pushed for racial justice of engaging in a “merciless campaign to wipe out our history.” The remarks served as a direct appeal to the Republican president’s political base, including many disaffected white

voters, with less than four months to go before Election Day. Wallace responded on Twitter with a note to “the next generation and little ones following my foot steps” in which he urged people to use their platform and not be detracted by “hate being thrown at you.”

“Love should come naturally as people are TAUGHT to hate,” Wallace tweeted. “Even when it’s HATE from the POTUS .. Love wins.”

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended the president’s decision to wade into the Wallace case, likening it to actor Jussie Smollett’s claims

Major League Baseball released its pandemic-shortened schedule Monday, featuring a tantalizing season opener between the New York Yankees and World Series champion Washington Nationals, even as some teams were still bogged down by coronavirus concerns.

By the time MLB revealed each team’s 60-game slate Monday evening, the Nationals and Houston Astros — last year’s pennant winners — had canceled workouts because of COVID-19 testing delays that one executive worried could endanger the season. The St. Louis Cardinals also scrubbed their practice for the same reason.

“We got camps being shut down and people going three and four days without tests. You just don’t know what’s going on,” Dodgers star Mookie Betts said.

“We have to just figure out the right way to do it.”

Nick Markakis became the second Atlanta Braves veteran to opt out of the season, swayed by a phone call with teammate Freddie Freeman, who has been stricken with COVID-19.

The Texas Rangers said AllStar slugger Joey Gallo tested positive and is asymptomatic.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun also tested positive but feels good, manager Torey Lovullo said.

Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola reported to camp after waiting a few extra days because he was in contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus.

“All my tests came back negative,” Nola said.

Opening night on July 23 will feature the Yankees and their new ace, Gerrit Cole, visiting the Nationals. On the West Coast, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Betts, their big offseason acquisition, will host the rival San Francisco Giants.

Everybody else will be in action by the next day — in ballparks without fans. Teams will play only their division rivals and teams in the corresponding geographic division in the other league.

One quirk of the 60-game schedule is that division foes will play 10 times each, but not necessarily five times in each city. For instance, the Yankees and Red Sox will play seven games in the Bronx but just three in Boston.

The schedule was a bright spot on an otherwise shaky day in baseball’s reboot following a shutdown of more than three months. The steady stream of players testing positive and opting out is leading to a growing unease that the full season might not be played.

“Sixty games looks pretty good on paper, but when you go through it day by day, it gets more difficult to kind of see that, the end of the finish line,” Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver said.

he was a victim of a hate crime.

McEnany criticized the press in a White House briefing, calling Trump’s tweet a “complete indictment of the media’s rush to judgement.”

McEnany declined to explain why the president thought Wallace should have to apologize given he didn’t report the noose.

Vaughn, Kennon win OGA titles JOHN GUNTHER The World

Two South Coast golfers — one the most accomplished local player in recent memory and the other a rising talent — won Oregon Golf Association championships last week.

Monica Vaughn, formerly of Reedsport and now the assistant women’s golf coach at the University of Oregon, won the Oregon Women’s Stroke Play Championship.

Cassie Kennon, who will be a freshman at Bandon High School this fall, won the first flight in her age group in the Oregon Junior Amateur.

Vaughn followed her stellar career at Reedsport, which included multiple high school and Oregon Golf Association titles, by winning the NCAA title and leading Arizona State to the team

title in 2017, her senior year in college. She also competed in the Curtis Cup for the United States.

She had not played competitive golf the past few years, but earlier this year regained her amateur status — she played a few events as a pro after her Arizona State career.

“I’m really happy I got my amateur status back,” Vaughn said. “I seriously just love golf at the amateur level.”

Last week at Riverside Golf and Country Club she had a winning return to competition, with birdies on two of the final three holes, including the last one, to take the 30th Oregon Women’s Stroke Play Championship by one shot over both Victoria Gailey of Tigard and Baylee Hammericksen of Medford.

Vaughn shot rounds of 74 and 72 in the tournament, winning it

with her birdie on the final hole.

“It was so much fun to compete again,” Vaughn said by text, adding, “I also forgot how stressful golf is … haha.”

That tournament was contested June 29-30.

Kennon, meanwhile, won her division in the Bob Norquist Oregon Junior Amateur at the OGA Course in Woodburn, contested June 29-July 3.

Playing in the 12-18 age group, Kennon qualified ninth with back-to-back rounds of 86.

That left her one spot out of the championship flight while competing against mostly older girls.

In the first flight, she beat Abigail McMonagle of Troutdale 5 and 3 in the quarterfinals, and Hailey Lim of Lake Oswego 2 & 1 in the semifinals.

In the championship match, she beat Alyssa Dewey of Ridgefield 5 and 4.

PGA Tour scraps plans for fans at Memorial Associated Press The PGA Tour and the Memorial scrapped state-approved plans to have limited spectators next week because of what it described as rapidly changing dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Memorial, hosted by Jack Nicklaus at his Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, was in line to be the first tournament with spectators since golf resumed its schedule on June 11 in Texas.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, last month approved a plan that would allow the Memorial to have 20% capacity on property, which would include fans, private hospitality areas and essential staff to run the tournament.

“But given the broader challenges communities are facing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we need to stay focused on the No. 1 priority for our ‘Return to Golf’ — the health and safety of all involved,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monah-

an said in a statement Monday.

The absence of spectators also means the tournament will not have a pro-am.

Muirfield Village this week is holding the Workday Charity Open, a one-time event that replaces the John Deere Classic, which officials chose to cancel this year and bring back in 2021.

No spectators were to be allowed this week.

It’s the first time since 1957 a course has held different PGA Tour events in consecutive weeks.

The Kansas City Chiefs made sure they’ll have Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes around as long as possible.

Mahomes agreed to a 10-year extension worth up to $503 million, according to his agency, Steinberg Sports. The deal is worth $477 million in guarantee mechanisms and includes a notrade clause and opt-out clauses if guarantee mechanisms aren’t met.

It’s the richest contract in professional sports history, surpassing Mike Trout’s $426.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels.

“Since he joined the Chiefs just a few years ago, Patrick has developed into one of the most prolific athletes in all of sports,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement about the quarterback who led them to their first championship in 50 years.

“With his dynamic play and infectious personality, he is one of the most recognized and beloved figures to put on the Chiefs uniform. He’s an extraordinary leader and a credit to the Kansas City community, and I’m delighted that he will be a member of the Chiefs for many years to come.”

The Chiefs had the 2018 NFL MVP under contract for the next two seasons but that wasn’t nearly enough.

“Here to stay,” Mahomes wrote on Twitter.

The contract extension starts in 2022 when the NFL salary cap is projected to be $227.5 million.

However, that number could be lower depending on revenue losses due to the cornonavirus pandemic and the possibility any games played this season won’t have fans.

Still, Mahomes will take up a big chunk of Kansas City’s cap space, around 20 percent depending on the annual contract breakdown and final cap numbers. That could potentially make it difficult for the Chiefs to pay several star players big contracts.

The Chiefs already had picked up their fifth-year option in April on Mahomes, who had been due to make $825,000 on the final year of his rookie contract this season, to keep him around at least through 2021. General manager Brett Veach said this deal has been a priority for quite a while and thanked Mahomes’ agents, Chris Cabott and Leigh Steinberg.

“His abilities are so rare, and to couple that with an incredible personality is outstanding,” Veach said of Mahomes. “We’re going to continue to do everything we can to surround him with talent, and this deal provides us more flexibility to do that. He’s obviously an integral part to our success and we’re thrilled he’s going to be the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs for a long time.”

Mahomes threw touchdown passes on consecutive fourth-quarter drives in rallying the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title in 50 years and the first for coach Andy Reid.

The World

Trump criticizes teams for weighing name changes WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday criticized a pair of pro sports teams that are considering name changes in the wake of a national reckoning over racial injustice and inequality.

Trump tweeted, “They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct.”

Trump, in his tweet, also mentioned Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, saying, “Indians,

like Elizabeth Warren, must be very angry right now!” Trump has repeatedly mocked Warren, who ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, for claiming Native American heritage, derisively calling her “Pocahontas.”

The NFL’s Redskins announced Friday that they had begun a “thorough review” of their name, which has been deemed offensive by Native American groups for decades.

The Redskins’ decision came after FedEx, which paid $205 million for naming rights to the team’s stadium, and other

corporate partners called for the team to change its nickname.

Hours later, the Indians Major League Baseball team announced that they, too, will review their long-debated name.

“We are committed to making a positive impact in our community and embrace our responsibility to advance social justice and equality,” the team said in a statement.

On Sunday, Indians manager Terry Francona said he approved of the team’s decision, saying it was “time to move forward.”

Cleveland All-Star shortstop

Francisco Lindor is also in favor of the Indians changing their nickname, which they’ve had since 1915.

“If changing the name brings more love and more peace to society, I’m open to listening to the change of names,” Lindor said Monday.

“I know society is shifting and we are due for some change.

So along those guidelines, yeah, I’m open for a change in name if it’s going to bring love and happiness and more peace to the world.”

Trump has spent the last few days stoking divisions and ex-

FC Dallas withdraws from MLS tourney Associated Press FC Dallas has withdrawn from the MLS is Back tournament in Florida after 10 players tested positive for coronavirus.

The league said Monday that of the 557 players sequestered at a pair of Walt Disney World hotels, 13 have tested positive: 10 from Dallas, two from Nashville and one from Columbus. Additionally, a Dallas coach also tested positive.

“The decision to have them not participate in the tournament is in the best interests of everyone, of the Dallas players and the other 25 teams, and allows us to continue to manage the health and safety of our players while continuing to go forward with our plan,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber told The Associated Press in a telephone interview on Monday.

Apart from the health and safety aspect, the number of positive cases also

meant that Dallas could not play competitive games.

“As we continue to focus on the well-being of our players, coaches and staff who are in isolation in Orlando, we understand it is not in their best interests to compete at this time,” coach Luchi Gonzalez said in a statement. “While we’re disappointed, the health and safety of our traveling delegation as well as our league partners is our highest priority.”

FC Dallas announced last week that six players had tested positive upon arrival in Florida for the tournament, and the entire team was quarantined. As a result, the team’s opening match on Thursday against the Vancouver Whitecaps was postponed.

With Dallas’ withdrawal, Major League Soccer was devising a new schedule for the monthlong tournament, to be played without fans at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World.

The tournament is still set to open Wednesday with a nationally televised match between Orlando City and expansion Inter Miami.

Also on Monday, LAFC forward Carlos Vela opted out of the tournament out of concerns for his wife, who is expecting their second child.

“I always want to give everything I have to my club, our fans and supporters and the city of L.A.,” Vela said in a statement.

“However, it is in the best interest of the health of my family to stay home and be with my wife during what is a risky pregnancy.”

MLS shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic on March 12 after teams had each played two games.

Garber vowed to stop the tournament if warranted.

“If there is a situation at any time that I believe that the protocols aren’t working, and the health and safety of our players is at

risk, then I will make the decision to shut down the tournament,” Garber said.

“That is something I committed to the players and to our entire league early on.

But this is proving that our protocols worked and our plan so far has been sound.”

FC Dallas previously revealed that all players and staff tested negative for the coronavirus before leaving for the tournament on June 27. Upon arrival, two players tested positive.

Subsequent tests found four more players infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.

“We absolutely agree with the league’s decision to withdraw FC Dallas from the MLS is Back Tournament out of safety concerns for our players and staff,” FC Dallas President Dan Hunt said.

“We’re looking forward to resuming the 2020 season once the entire club is healthy and in position to play competitive matches at the highest level.”

Hockey season will resume Aug. 1 in Canada Associated Press The NHL is in position to resume playing in less than a month — with 24 teams in action, all in Canada — and could be on the verge of enjoying labor peace through 2026.

The National Hockey League and the NHL Players’ Association on Monday announced a tentative deal on a returnto-play format and a memorandum of understanding on a four-year extension of the collective bargaining agreement.

Should both agreements be ratified, the NHL would proceed immediately to its expanded 24-team playoff format, with play beginning on Aug. 1. Under the plan, training camps would open July 13, with teams traveling to their respective hub cities for exhibition games on July 26.

The hub cities are Toronto and Edmonton, Alberta, for the qualifying round and at least first two playoff rounds, according to a person with direct knowledge of the agreements who spoke with

The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the league and NHLPA have not released this information.

For the conference finals and the Stanley Cup Final, the person said, the league is being cautious and allowing itself site flexibility in the event of potential spikes in COVID-19 infections.

Extending the CBA, which was set to expire in September 2022, was considered a necessary step in restarting the season, which was placed on pause in March as a result of the pandemic. The extension covers numerous on- and off-ice issues, including the NHL’s potential return to the Olympics, the person said.

If approved, players would be in a position to compete at the Beijing Olympics in 2022 and in Italy four years later. In order for that to happen, the NHL would first have to resolve marketing rights and health insurance, among otehr issues, with the International Olympic Committee and Interna-

tional Ice Hockey Federation.

The NHL, NHLPA and IIHF had what were called productive talks earlier this year. The NHL participated in five consecutive Olympics from 1998-2014 before skipping 2018 in South Korea.

Financially, the CBA extension would attempt to address the lost revenue stemming from the remainder of the regular season being wiped out and with empty arenas looming for the playoffs.

Players would defer 10% of salaries next season which owners would pay back over three consecutive seasons starting in 2022-23, a second person familiar with the proposed agreement told The AP. The salary cap will remain at $81.5 million for at least next season, the person said, also speaking only on the condition of anonymity because the details have not been released.

Escrow payments to owners to even out hockey-related revenue at 50/50 would be capped at 20% next season, with the

cap decreasing throughout the deal, the second person said. If owners are still owed money from the players, the CBA would be extended for an additional season. Escrow has been one of the biggest complaints of players in the past several years.

The agreements need two-thirds approval by owners.

On the union side, the agreements must first be approved by a majority of the NHLPA’s 31-member executive committee before going to a vote to the full membership. The executive committee is expected to make its recommendation by the end of day Tuesday; if approved, the players would be expected to complete their voting process by Friday.

Over the weekend, the league and players agreed to an extensive series of returnto-play protocols involving training camp and games.

Players will be allowed to opt out of competing in the expanded playoffs, and will have three days to make their decision once the agreement is ratified.

ploiting racial tensions, accusing protesters who have pushed for racial justice of engaging in a “merciless campaign to wipe out our history.” Earlier Monday, he lashed out at NASCAR and wrongly accused the sport’s only full-time Black driver of perpetrating “a hoax” when a crew member found a noose in the team garage stall.

Trump had tweeted in 2013 that then-President Barack Obama “should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name” because “our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them, not nonsense.”

Thorns play to draw HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) — Sam Staab’s header in the 77th minute pulled the Washington Spirit into a 1-1 draw with the Portland Thorns on Sunday night in the National Women’s Soccer League’s Challenge Cup tournament.

Lindsey Horan’s diving header off a free kick from Meghan Klingenberg put the Thorns up 1-0 in the 69th minute. Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe got a hand on the ball but it bounced into the goal off the crossbar.

Staab scored for the Spirit on a back-heel volley from teammate Ashley Sanchez to tie the game up.

Horan nearly gave the Thorns the win in the 88th minute but Bledsoe dove to deflect the shot. Portland is still looking for its first Challenge Cup victory.

The Thorns were without defender Becky Sauerbrunn because of a left hip injury that will keep her out of the rest of the tournament.

Spirit midfielder Rose Lavelle and forward Ashley Hatch were on the bench to start the game but both came in for the second half. Hatch got a shot off in the 61st minute but Thorns goalkeeper Bella Bixby leapt to push it away with one hand.

The Spirit started rookie forward Averie Collins while the Thorns started rookie forward Morgan Weaver. Both were on the Washington State team that went to the College Cup semifinals last season.

After playing three matches in the first nine days of the tournament (a loss and two draws), the Thorns now have a break before finishing the preliminary round against OL Reign on Monday, July 13.

NASCAR From B1

“We are proud to have Bubba Wallace in the NASCAR family and we commend his courage and leadership,” NASCAR said. “NASCAR continues to stand tall with Bubba, our competitors and everyone who makes our sport welcoming and inclusive for all racing fans.”

Andrew Murstein, co-owner of the Richard Petty Motorsports team that fields Wallace’s car, called Trump’s tweet “a late, misinformed, and factually incorrect statement.” He also said it was unwarranted and cited the photo NASCAR released of the noose.

“A picture is worth a thousand words,” Murstein said in a statement. “Bubba has reacted in a truthful, professional, level headed manner. The NASCAR community and those in the know all stand by him.”

Wallace led the push for NASCAR to ban Confed-

“There’s a ton of players out there quoted saying this, but it almost feels like you’re waiting on bad news, right? You’re just waiting on somebody’s camp to break out. You’re waiting for travel restrictions to be shut down across the nation.

You’re waiting for a second wave, where things become unplayable and sports take a backseat. We’re all just kind

of going day to day right now, making sure that we’re ready for the given day and looking forward to that.”

The Nationals and Astros were idled after not receiving test results from Friday. That came a day after Washington reliever Sean Doolittle criticized slow test results and a lack of some personal protective equipment.

“Without accurate and timely testing, it is simply not safe for us to continue with summer camp,” Nationals general manager

Mike Rizzo said. “Major League Baseball needs to work quickly to resolve issues with their process and their lab. Otherwise, summer camp and the 2020 season are at risk.”

MLB said in a statement that 95% of its intake testing had been completed and the Utah laboratory it’s using had reported 98% of results, a majority of those a day after samples were collected. MLB said it addressed delays caused by the holiday weekend, doesn’t expect them to continue and com-

mended teams for canceling workouts.

But it’s clear that players, managers and coaches have a lot more to worry about than just getting in shape and rounding out rosters.

“You get around the cage and you know you’re not supposed to be touching the cage,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “You have this mask on all day, which is quite honestly cumbersome when it’s hot and you’re working. But it’s something you get used to.”

That comeback performance earned Mahomes the Super Bowl MVP award and only cemented his status as the face of the Kansas City franchise.

Reid said the best part is that Mahomes is still early in his career. Mahomes won’t turn 25 until Sept.

17.

“He’s a natural leader and always grinding, whether that’s on the field, in the weight room or watching film, he wants to be the best,” Reid said.

“He’s a competitor and his teammates feed off his energy. He makes us all better as an organization and we are blessed he’s going to be our quarterback for years to come.”

The Chiefs traded up to select Mahomes 10th overall in the 2017 draft, and he spent one season learning the ropes under Alex Smith before getting the starting job.

Mahomes proceeded to shatter just about every franchise passing record while winning the league

Two weeks later, the noose was found at the first race some fans were allowed to attend since the shutdown.

On the same day, a plane pulling a banner of the Confederate flag that read “Defund NASCAR” was circling the track and protesters outside the speedway displayed their flags.

Two NASCAR drivers came to Wallace’s defense Monday. Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, currently sidelined with the coronavirus, posted an image of Wallace’s No. 43 that had been used by drivers in an earlier #IStandWithBubba campaign. Rookie Tyler Reddick tweeted but later deleted a reply to Trump that read: “We don’t need an apology. We did what was right and we will do just fine without your support.”

LeBron James and Chelsea Clinton were among those outside of NASCAR who backed Wallace on social media, with James stating he stands with Wallace.

MVP award, and he had the Chiefs within overtime of landing in the Super Bowl that season. He also was The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

He dealt with numerous injuries this past season, including a dislocated kneecap on a seemingly innocent quarterback sneak that left him sidelined for a couple of games. He came back to lead the Chiefs to a long winning streak that culminated with a series of come-from-behind wins in the playoffs, including their second-half rally in the Super Bowl.

He is 24-7 as a starter, completing 65.9% of his passes with 76 touchdowns and only 18 interceptions.

Mahomes is 724 of 1,099 for 9,412 yards passing, averaging 303.6 yards per game with a 108.9 career quarterback rating. He also has run 110 times for 500 yards with four TDs. He has led the Chiefs to back-to-back AFC championship games. In the postseason, Mahomes is 115 of 184 for 1,474 yards with 13 TDs and only two interceptions with a 106.6 rating.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Finally decide on improvement

Percy Hunt today denied charges by Coos County District Attorney Robert Brasch and urged the DA to investigate what he called “irregularities” in Coos Bay District 9 school bond and budget elections.

Hunt, charged by Brasch in two separate complaints with publishing false statements in connection with the recent D-9 budget election, said Brasch should look into expenses paid for publicity in the March bond issue and subsequent D-9 budget elections.

Hunt charged the expenses were paid by the Coos Bay Education Association. “I think that is illegal,” said Hunt.

Tenth and Eleventh Streets will be paved Eleventh and Tenth streets will be improved, according to the action of the city council last night. These were the improvements against which there were some protests and the matter has been pending for several weeks.

Last night at the council meeting, Mayor Ferguson said that the ordinances for these two streets had better be brought up and disposed of. They were read by the recorder and both were passed, all five of the councilmen present voting favorably. Councilman Rood is absent. When the matter first came up several weeks ago two of the councilmen opposed it but last night the vote was unanimous.

The improvement providing for hard surfacing on both streets from Elrod to Golden. The assessment on Eleventh is $8.68 per front foot and on Tenth from $7.33 to $7.22 per front foot.

Planks in bad shape Inspector Tribbey said that Commercial avenue was in bad shape between Fourth and Fifth.

He said there were many loose planks which must be fixed in some way. The council ordered the city engineer to make plans and specifications for the improvement of the street from Fourth to Fifth and 150 feet west of Fifth.

Umpqua Bar in good condition W.P Reed says jetty made great improvement Pipe coming for new water system which will be big one—prepare for water shipments Warren P. Reed of Reedsport and Walter Mackay of Portland, who were here on a short business visit, left this morning for Reedsport. Mr. Mackay will stop off at Reedsport and go to Portland on the night train.

Mr. Reed says that conditions are good at Reedsport now. The Reedsport Fish company cannery put up fishermen are now expecting the salmon run to start. Mr. Reed is greatly encouraged over the harbor conditions. The steamer Centralia came into port last night at 5 o’clock and will take a cargo of lumber for the Johnson mill. The Reedsport Lumber company is driving piling for a wharf and the Winchester Bay Lumber Company is building a wharf so all three of the mills will soon be ready to ship by water.

Bar in good shape Mr. Reed says that the north jetty as far out as it was built by the port has done great things for the harbor. The vessels are reporting finding 29 feet of water on the bar at low tide and there is a wide channel.

An advertisement from 1920

Dick Hanen annexes seventh Southwest Oregon Amateur crown

By Tom McGuire Sports Editor, The World Over the years, Dick Hanen has proved himself to be one of the top amateur golfers in this section of the country.

The 27th annual Southwest Amateur at Coos Country Club during the weekend was no exception for the Coos Bay businessman as he annexed his seventh crown Sunday with a 3 and 1 victory over Bob Phillips of Medford.

Hanen, who first won the SWO Amateur title in 1946 and who last won it in 1964, parlayed a steady, accurate game in disposing of Phillips — the latter a relative unknown and a newcomer to the championship finals.

A’s take four straight; now in first place

By Chuck Russell Sportswriter, The World Holy Haymakers, baseball fans, what hath Charley Finley wrought now.

Two games below the breakeven mark following the recent Lewison-Tri-City road trip, things are now looking up — all the way up — for the Coos BayNorth Bend Athletics.

Manager Harry Bright’s A’s swept four straight from Bend

over the weekend to knock the Rainbows out of the Southern Division lead in the Northwest League — and best of all, take over first place themselves.

Coos still pays for ‘Earth Day’ COQUILLE — A portion of the national Earth Day message is still alive in Coos County — a $3,300 portion to be exact.

That is the tab picked up recently by the county board of commissioners for removal of 108 miles of county road litter during May. Coos County Commissioner Lonnie Van Elsberg, who “sort of fell heir to the job of organizing the campaign,” said the litter pickup chores were done by 14 youth groups in the county, including scouting troops, high school clubs and community action programs.

Signing some of the checks last week, Van Elsberg said the groups had been paid $30 per mile for the cleanup work.

“County roadmaster L.L. Buoy and myself went over the costs of having the litter pickup done by county personnel and figured the $30 per mile paid to these groups would be less expensive to the county,” Van Elsberg said.

Coos Bay pilot, crew help save 2 rangers Skillful flying by an 82d Airborne Division helicopter pilot from Coos Bay and personal bravery by his crew chief resulted in two North Carolina forest rangers being pulled to safety after their plane crashed May 20 while they were investigating a forest fire near Catfish Lake, N.C.

While Chief Warrant Officer (W-2) James T. Hatten hovered his UH1H Chopper among tree branches about 10 feet off the ground, the crew chief, Specialist Four Roderick O’Connor, climbed out on the landing skid and reached down to pull the men into the ship. The two rangers were flown to an awaiting ambulance in New Bern, N.C. The rescue mission proved a break from the airmobile operations and resupply flights being carried out by the crew, all members of Company A, 82d Aviation Battalion, during Exotic Dancer III, an Atlantic Command joint training exercise held May 19-25 in the Catfish Lake Area.

20 YEARS — 2000 Johnson repeats as amateur champion Local players do well in several flights at amateur event From Staff Reports Defending champion Carl Johnson cruised to a repeat victory in the Southwestern Oregon Amateur golf tournament at Coos Country Club, while several South Coast golfers also finished well.

Johnson, from Portland, beat Thurston High School golfer Justin St. Clair 4 & 3 in the final Tuesday afternoon.
