2 COVID-19 outbreaks reported The World COOS COUNTY — Two outbreaks of COVID-19 are being reported in Coos County.

As of Monday, there are now 45 confirmed COVID-19 cases and nine presumptive cases. In the last 28 days, there have been 21 new cases.

In just the past week, there

have been 11 cases.

“There are a few different outbreaks we’re currently dealing with,” said Brian Leon, epidemiologist with Coos Health and Wellness, during Monday afternoon’s press briefing. “The Rye Tree Service outbreak … we are now releasing the name. It is an onsite-type work … they doing clearing services. There isn’t

a home base they go back to, but transport to different job sites, which is why it isn’t a concern for public foot traffic.”

The other outbreak is at a healthcare facility, though the type or name of the facility is not being released yet. Leon said there isn’t much information to share, since Coos Health and Wellness is still in the process of

collecting data.

In addition, Leon said Bay Area Hospital has one asymptomatic case, which was confirmed over the weekend. “(The individual) works in a setting that is easy to identify who has had close contact,” Leon said. “We’re monitoring a few people for symptoms.”

A second employee at BAH

is also positive for the virus, but was exposed to it while traveling. Leon said in the brief time she was back in Coos County, she worked from home and didn’t expose anyone at BAH to COVID-19.

“The last week of cases demonstrated an increased likelihood of community spread,” Leon said.

A dredge scoop pulls up material from the channel in Coos Bay near Eastside last week as part of routine dredging.

Dredging may include Charleston The World COOS BAY — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is dredging Coos Bay’s federal navigation channel.

“The Army Corps of Engineers is doing its annual maintenance, dredging river miles 12 to 15,” said Margaret Barber, The Port of Coos Bay’s director of external affairs. “They did this last year as well, but prior to that haven’t done dredging in that piece of the navigation channel since 2010.

“It’s great they’re getting that work done.”

Barber said the dredging stopped for almost 10 years due to lack of funding. The channel is authorized by the Army Corps of Engineers for 37 feet deep and 300 feet nominal width.

“The Corps gets funding from the federal government and part

of our role as The Port is to make sure that work gets done to keep the depth and width of the channel for the big vessels that come in,” Barber said.

In a press release from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley’s office earlier this month, it was announced that the senator is working with the Corps to explore if it could take over dredging of a “hazardous channel in (the) Charleston Marina.”

It pointed to The World’s coverage in December when the Darean Rose capsized in the Charleston Marina. The men trapped inside survived due to the quick actions of Curtis Green, who watched the 40-foot vessel roll.

“In late 2019, (Green) rescued three others whose boat had capsized in the channel after getting caught on a sandbar,” read Merkley’s release. “Merkley

tackled the issue after a constituent at a public town hall in January raised the dangers of not dredging the channel, citing the sandbar incident. The immediate answer was that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was not responsible for the area in the channel where the sandbar developed, and because of the cost, the Port of Coos Bay was not able to regularly dredge it….”

After four months of Merkley working with the Port and USACE to “explore expanding federal authority to include the sandbar area … the agency was able to coordinate with the Port of Coos Bay, and is now working with Merkley to seek funding to study whether the federal navigation channel could include that area.”

“I hold an open town hall in every Oregon county every year

for exactly this reason,” Merkley said in the release. “I had read about Curtis Green’s heroics in rescuing the men from the capsized boat, but it wasn’t until Dana Mills highlighted it at my town hall that I learned that the sandbar was an ongoing danger without any ready solution. With that information, my team and I were able to work with the Port and the Corps find a solution— honoring Mr. Green’s brave act, and making sure the marina is safe for its users….”

Dana Mills, who raised the issue to Merkley, said in the release that it was her cousin and his crew who nearly lost their lives in December’s accident.

Mills said it was to her surprise that Merkley came up with a solution. “…Even though he and I are on different sides of the aisle

Dear Reader: To cope with the dramatic loss of advertising revenue stemming from COVID-19, The World recently began publishing a print edition twice a week, rather than daily.

On the other three days a week, we provide our subscribers with an electronic version of the newspaper online.

That shift in how we provide the news to our subscribers has meant fewer delivery days for the carriers who contract with us to bring you The World. They’re now dropping the newspaper on

your doorstep on Tuesdays and Saturdays only, when they used to do so every weekday.

While many of those carriers have continued to deliver for us in an exemplary fashion, an increasing number have decided they need to look elsewhere for more work.

We can’t find enough drivers to replace them. The result has been late deliveries to our subscribers – or missed deliveries altogether.

So, beginning July 18, The World will be delivered to its subscribers by the U.S. Postal

Service.

We’ve worked with our local postmasters to arrange sameday delivery, so you’ll get your Tuesday edition on Tuesday, and the Saturday paper on Saturday.

If you use a post office box for your mail delivery, we’ll need to have you email your name, mailing address and phone number to worldcirculation@countrymedia.net. In the process, we’ll add you to our email list so you can receive breaking news updates, a link to The World’s e-edition, obituaries and more.

SALEM (AP) — In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in police custody, Oregon has released the names of over 1,700 officers whose transgressions over the past 50 years were so serious that they were banned from working in law enforcement in the state.

The online posting last week came after the state Legislature created a law requiring the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training to establish a statewide public database of officers whose certification has been revoked or suspended.

“Those who are revoked have tarnished the badge and no longer have the trust of their community, their agency, or our agency as the certifying body,” department director Eriks Gabliks told The Associated Press.

The web site includes a spreadsheet with the names of decertified officers going back to 1971. In at least one instance, a police officer who was decertified in Oregon obtained employment in law enforcement in another state, a situation that some say points to the need for a comprehensive, nationwide database.

Former Coquille, Oregon, police officer Sean Sullivan was convicted of harassment in 2005 for kissing a 10-year-old girl. A year later, he became chief of police of the tiny town of Cedar Vale, Kansas. He quit that job while being investigated there.

In the absence of an official nationwide database, a non-profit maintains a website intended to be a national registry of certificate or license revocations. The National Decertification Index provides access to records from agencies in 44 states and was created by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training.

Five states — Hawaii, Massachusetts, California, New Jersey and Rhode Island — do not certify officers, and one, Georgia, does decertify but doesn’t contribute to the registry, said Mike Becar, executive director of the non-profit.

“More needs to be done,” he said in an email. “First the NDI is voluntary so we have states like Georgia that don’t contribute and the ones that do could stop at any time. Second, many states can only decertify for crimes, some only for felony convictions, but many forms of misconduct conducted by officers are not crimes but need to be investigated.”

The registry is for use by law enforcement agencies but includes links, accessible by the public, to records from 11 states, not all of which include names in their documents.

Causes for decertification ranged from an officer calling in sick for his shift while drunk at

Bandon to ask voters for rate increases A2 | TUESDAY, JULY 14, 2020

AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — The City of Bandon will ask voters in the Sept. 15 election to approve two rate increases — one for sewer and one for water.

Both the city’s water and sewer rates fail to pay for the city’s costs of running those utilities, according to City Manager Dan Chandler. Between the two funds, this fiscal year’s shortage will be around $400,000.

City city’s overall 2020-21 fiscal year budget is approximately $3.5 million less than last year’s budget.

Chandler said the ballot measures are asking voters

Office

The World

to approve an increase of $8 per month for water and $7 per month for sewer. Residents living outside city limits would see an increase of $11 in their water rate and $11 in their sewer rate. This would be a permanent increase.

The base rate includes 2,000 gallons of water and covers 90% of customers most of the year.

There are no proposed changes to the city’s electric rates.

The city is prohibited from raising rates without voter approval. The city is not asking for rate-setting authority, as it has in past failed ballot measures.

“The only place to make up the shortfall is from the city’s General Fund,”

Chandler explained. “...

It’s really the only place to make it up.”

Chandler went on to explain that the city budget has a number of funds.

The General Fund is the most flexible and comes from property taxes, utility taxes and lodging taxes.

Other funds are for utilities, roads and other specific purposes. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent temporary closure of local lodging establishments, the city’s transient occupancy tax receipts are down significantly. Those TOT receipts make up 16% of the General Fund.

“It is unlikely that Bandon will see anywhere near its normal tourist

traffic this year,” Chandler said. “Lodging has been down around the state, even in jurisdictions where the hotels stayed open.”

Bandon also has the lowest permanent tax rate in the state for cities with populations of 750 or more.

The city’s police department is funded entirely out of the General Fund, and accounts for 40% of General Fund spending. The next largest category is Administration at 16%.

“If water and sewer rates are not raised to cover the cost of water and sewer operations, the General Fund will need to cover those costs,” Chandler said. “Since

public safety makes up the largest portion of the General Fund, the city would almost certainly have to make cuts in the police department, at least in the short term. This in turn would mean less coverage, and that certain types of calls would not get an immediate police response.”

Chandler uses an example of having to pay for car repairs.

“If you have an old car, you don’t know what’s going to break this year, or what it’s going to cost, but you know something will,” he said. “This is our besst effort to be able to balance the books While there was a base rate to support new

capital improvements a few years ago, Bandon’s last water rate increase for operations was in 2006, Chandler said. Bandons last sewer rate increase was in 2012. The inflation rate has been 28% since 2006.

Over the past 13 years (water) and nine years (sewer), operation costs have increased with inflation, particularly as the plant and pipes age.

“The city cannot subsidize water and sewer from the General Fund without impacting public safety, parks and other services,” Chandler said. “The proposed rates should put water and sewer into a break-even position for the next few years.”

Court documents allege that on Feb. 29, Nichole Sokol “did unlawfully and recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, cause the death of Madelyn Sokol.”

Jerry Sokol and Kelley Quinn by means of a dangerous weapon resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.

“The defendant, on or about Feb. 29, 2020 in Coos County, Oregon, did unlawfully drive a vehicle upon premises open to the public while under the influence of a controlled substance ... and in a manner that endangered the safety of persons or property,” court documents state.

Revitalization grants won’t be funded in 2021 The World OREGON — Several South Coast Main Street projects will not be funded next year because of the impacts of COVID-19, the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department announced Friday afternoon.

The Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant funding was part of a 2019 legislature approved lottery bond package scheduled for spring 2021, an OPRD news release stated. The sale of the bond package has been canceled due to lottery shortfalls from the impacts of COVID-19.

Without the $5 million expected from the sale or additional action by the legislature, a new round of grants can’t be awarded.

This is a devastating blow to Oregon’s 93 historic downtowns and organizations that participate in the Oregon Main Street Network, stated the release. They have struggled these past

several months to meet the challenges their communities are facing during the pandemic. They have been vital to the preservation of jobs, businesses and community resilience.

Many have already been preparing for the application process slated to open in January, 2021.

The grant program was created during the 2015 legislative session, and placed with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. The grant funds building acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction projects that support community revitalization in Oregon Main Street Network communities.

The program also requires that at least 50 percent of the funds go to rural communities as defined in the bill.

The legislation established a permanent fund for the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant and provided an initial infusion of funds from the sale of

The Bandon Masonic Building was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The building is one of few that survived the Bandon Fire of 1936. lottery bonds. Subsequent funding through the sale of lottery bonds was approved in 2017 and 2019.

While the 2019 approved funding is now unlikely, the fund itself remains and can be replenished by other sources including other government and private funds.

The first two grants cycles resulted in awards for 56 projects in 37 commu-

nities. Awards were spread all over the state, from Enterprise to Lakeview to Gold Beach to Astoria, and included 30 communities under 30,000 population.

Types of projects funded include: • Full restoration of several buildings, some decades vacant, including the Central Hotel in Burns, Merwyn Building in Astoria, Mills Garage in

Grants still available for small businesses The World SOUTH COAST — Grants for independent contractors, small owner operated businesses and LLC/Corporations are still available in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties Grants from $2,500 to $25,000 are still available.

Apply for the COVID-19 Emergency Grant today: https://www.ccdbusiness.org/wp-content/ uploads/2020/06/CCDGrant.pdf Those who do not think they are eligible for the State of Oregon COVID-19 Emergency Business Grant should think again.

Many independent contractors, small owner operated businesses and LLCC/orporations who don’t have employees thought they did not qualify and were wrong.

Those who did not receive either PPP or EIDL are more than likely eligible to apply for this grant and receive funds.

Here’s what local businesses in the region are saying about how easy it is to apply for and receive grant funds: Bombshell Tanning: “Our experience with the CCD business grant program was one of the best! Quick response time, easy process, no waiting game, no being on hold for hours, GREAT SERVICE!” Boxcar Hill Campground: “I found the State of Oregon COVID-19 Emergency Grant application process extremely easy and fast to complete. Thanks CCD for providing small business enterprises located in Coos, Curry and Douglas Counties a hassle free

way to apply for this grant program.”

Local Vacation Rental: “We applied for the grant on the day it started the whole process was really easy. I sent them our Jan/ Feb 2020 bills, the application (which was really simple) and a P & L statement for Jan/ Feb 2020 vs March/ April 2020. I originally made a mistake and sent the bills for the wrong months, Krisha contacted me to let me know, she was very helpful. I ended up calling her and she told me on the phone that we had been approved. It didn’t make up for everything we lost during the shut down, but it does help. The amount received was based on January/ February bills.”

Bandon Museum: “When the Bandon Museum decided to pursue the Grant Opportunity

email from the Chamber of Commerce, I assumed we would be looking at dozens of hours of gathering information and composing grant narratives, but that was not the case. Essentially, the application is a checklist. The documentation called for was already in our files. The whole process took about an hour and a half and would have been quicker if I were a little more tech-savvy. We filed via e-mail and had a response by the end of the day. The less-tech-savvy could print an application and file a paper copy but the process would be no more difficult.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voting by mail works It’s all over the national media.

“Voting by mail is a pathway to voter fraud.” Seriously? Oregon has voted by mail since 1998.

When vote by mail was first adopted, Secretary of State Dennis Richardson, a Republican, and one of his predecessors, Phil Keisling, a Democrat, agreed that it would increase voter turnout and would be cheaper and more secure than machines and polling places.

“You can’t hack paper,” explained Richardson.

You also can’t vote unless you are registered. This year, Oregon’s registration deadline to vote in our Nov. 3, 2020 election is Oct. 13.

Application for absentee voting is Oct. 29.

To register to vote in Oregon, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Oregon and at least 16 years old. To register online you will need an Oregon driver’s license, permit or ID card number issued by the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division The website is https://sos.oregon. gov/voting/Pages/current-election. aspx.

Our May 19, 2020 election was certified June 8, in accordance with Oregon’s Vote by Mail Procedures Manual available at https://sos. oregon.gov/elections/Documents/ vbm_manual.pdf According to Coos County Clerk Debbie Heller, there were 177 unresolved ballots submitted without signatures and 106 unresolved ballots with signatures that did not match the voters’ registration files.

Each individual voter was contacted by the Clerk’s office to resolve the issue and if the voter did not respond to resolve the issue, the ballot was deemed invalid June 2, 5 p.m.

Also, the boards found two envelopes that did not contain a ballot inside, plus six envelopes that had two ballots inside one envelope with only one signature on the return envelope. Oregon’s return envelopes are postage free.

Oregon’s vote by mail has long protected Oregonians and our right to have our voices heard. To that end, I commend County Clerk Heller for her expertise and generosity of time as I explored how our Coos County mail-in voting system operates.

My final thought: Nationally, Americans need to be able to go to work and voting by mail protects citizens from having to decide between lost wages and feeding their families.

In Oregon, voting by mail is how democracy works for us.

What a trapper knows Mr. Erickson, while beaver are a “keystone species” whose pond-creating powers support biological communities, there is a lack of empirical scientific data that concludes the survival of salmon and steelhead rest solely on beaver ponds. In fact, science points out that banning beaver trapping would make no difference in their survival.

In the 1992 study stating twothirds of coho overwinter in beaver ponds and slack waters, does it give a survival rate? How many of these fish survive egrets, blue herons, king fishers, river otters? Have there been any studies done in the century that we are now 20 years into?

In May of 2019, Senate Bill 580 banned the use of the M-44 cyanide bomb.

Since 1998, ODFW has requested that trappers not disturb beaver dams on coastal streams.

Trappers abide by a code of ethics and check furbearer traps daily.

A beaver pelt that has been in the water for seven days would not be able to be harvested. The seven-day rule was put in place for true predators, i.e. wolves, coyote, bobcat, fox — mainly for Central and Eastern Oregon, where trap lines can run hundreds of miles, encompassing thousands of acres.

Fun Facts The beaver is the second largest rodent in the world and the largest rodent in North America The beaver can and does carry the following bacterial diseases: giardia, tularemia and leptospiresis.

A two year study concluded in 2014, shows that beaver ponds are a low oxygen environment. When vegetation in the pond decomposes, it becomes methane. Methane is not conducive to salmon restoration.

This study estimated that beaver ponds produce up to 800,000 metric tons of methane per year worldwide. That is the CO2 equivalent for methane of over 168,000 daily driven vehicles per year, or a year’s worth of about 6.67 million cows burping, with a bit of flatulence for good measure.

Scientists have documented changes in ocean currents and temperatures off of the West Coast since the 1970s. These changes have created a more hostile environment for the coho to flourish.

Then the harbor seal, it eats 5-6% of its body weight per day 110375 pounds of seal living 20-35 years, is a lot of coho stomachs.

There are many factors that go into the survival of the coho, even the ODFW’s biologists do not support the ban.

This is what a trapper knows.

Get in the game, Crab Commissioners I found it curious that the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission would object to the re-introduction of an indigenous species, Sea Otters, regarding the effect they will have on crab harvests. The commissioners made no such objection to the devastation of the juvenile crab nursery that is Coos Bay Estuary unavoidable devastation as a result of the proposed ditching required for the Jordan Cove Pipeline.

Juvenile crabs are born in the open ocean, float into the estuaries on a high tide and grow a whole bunch more living in the eel grass beds.

Then back out they go to finish their life cycle. Lots of big crabs come from lots of little crabs.

In 2019, when I spoke with the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission office regarding the destruction of juvenile crab habitat by dredging, blasting and other construction activity to build a pipeline, the man I spoke with did not seem to have an accurate understanding of the life cycle of crabs. Habitat destruction leads to species decline. Get a mitt and get in the game Crab Commissioners!

City of Coos Bay outlines commitment to racial equality JOE BENETTI

Mayor, City of Coos Bay

Last week the City Council held its first in-person Council meeting since May. It was good to get back together in person!

We are fortunate to have the technology which allowed the Council to meet virtually when the pandemic related restrictions prevented us from meeting in-person. While the restrictions have been reduced, attendance at the meeting is still limited in order to adhere to the social distancing requirements. To allow for a few more citizens to attend the Council meeting, we moved from the Council Chambers to the large meeting room at the Coos Bay Library.

This week’s agenda included consideration of a resolution supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the community of Coos Bay. Prior to considering the resolution, I shared the City’s Statement on Inclusion and Diversity which is as follows: “While we truly believe racism has no place in Coos Bay, historically we acknowledge there have been many incidents of racial injustice in our community.

Lately this community has seen bigoted actions incited by few and impacting many. I speak on behalf of our entire City Council when I say that we are taking a zero tolerance policy on any activity flaming prejudice, and we are taking actions to ensure everyone in Coos Bay feels safe, respected and represented: “First, at the suggestion of Councilor DiNovo — and in colaboration with Councilors Miles and Matthews — we are preparing to adopt a resolution

JOE BENETTI outlining our commitment to racial equality, which I will read following these remarks. It shares our concerted commitment to make our community more inclusive, where all people can be safe and thrive.

“Second, we will be launching a series of community listening and learning forums where I and my fellow City Councilors will engage in open dialogue regarding the racial tensions taking place in our community. From these listening forums, we plan to come away with actionable next steps to improve our community.

“Third, the Coos History Museum is collaborating with stakeholders and community members to prepare a recommendation on how our community can commemorate the life of Alonzo Tucker and others who have fallen victim to racial injustices that have occurred in our community.

“Fourth, in response to the disturbing graffiti incidents we’ve seen throughout the last six weeks, the City is revisiting its ordinance on graffiti to ensure it addresses the current concerns of our community. Please call 541-267-6666 to report incidents.

It is our goal to not only remove the graffiti within 24 hours, but also to identify those who are responsible.

“For more information on how the City of Coos Bay will be addressing racism in our community, and how you can get involved, please subscribe to our Friday Updates or visit our Facebook page, Coos Bay - City Government.”

The resolution supporting diversity, equity and inclusion adopted July 7 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 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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR cont.

I will never be left behind A small idea brought out a patriotism glow in the city of Bandon.

When I heard that there was not going to be a parade because of the pandemic, I thought maybe we would decorate a couple of vehicles and just drive through town. The word got out and we ended up with 28 vehicles. A route was set up through residential areas and families came out waving and saying thank you for the parade.

It is important that we continue the traditions and beliefs of

America. Two hundred forty four years ago our forefathers created the Declaration of Independence.

Please take the time to read it.

We should also remember history and try not to repeat the mistakes. Today people are demonstrating with the acts of Marxism. This division will destroy this great nation of ours.

Many Americans have paid the ultimate price for the freedom that we all enjoy today.

Please remember all blood runs red no matter who you are. The battlefields from Bunker Hill, Pork Chop Hill and the hills of Afghanistan have proven that

point. So think of these warriors and keep our patriotism strong.

I want to thank Craig Tyska and my wife Deborah for taking over this Fourth of July event for me. They did a great job.

The World

This week in Coos County history: July 12-14 100 YEARS — 1920

Delinquency of youth increases

Shingle mill is wiped out by fire Sunday Owned by C.A. Smith Company and leased and operated by Fred Moore Cause of the fire is not ascertained Loss on plant about $12,000. Fully insured but loss to operator is a severe one Had opened new camp Had prepared to secure material for a good run—about twenty-five men thrown out of unemployment Fire Sunday afternoon destroyed the shingle mill owned by the C.A. Smith company and leased and operated by Fred Moore. The shingle mill was located some distance north of the pulp mill buildings. The cause of the fire is not known but those who first noticed it said that it seemed to start from the inside. It was discovered about 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

Mr. Moore had been there an hour or so earlier and everything was all right. The mill was not running Sunday.

The fire entirely wiped out the building and ruined the machinery.

The plant was not fitted with the automatic sprinkler system, which is used in the main mills of the plant.

The loss of the building and equipment will be about $10,000 to $12,000 and is fully covered by insurance held by the Smith company.

Loss to operator The loss, however, to Mr. Moore, who operated the plant is a severe one. He lost about $100 worth of tools, material and shingleson hand at the plant. The fire came at a particularly unfortunate time for him and he had gotten equipped to do a good business. Recently Mr. Moore had opened a cedar camp on Willanch Inlet and has purchased auto trucks to haul the shingle bolts and had his camp in good running order and at a point where the material could be gotten out more cheaply than before as he was equipped for transportation.

Asylum inmate makes escape Probably set fire to big barn at Salem Is at bay today but holding off the officers with a pitchfork (By Associated Press to Coos Bay Times) SALEM, Ore., July 12 — Attendants at the farm of the state hospital for the insane here are endeavoring to capture George Lenine, who escaped last night and who, it is thought by the hospital authorities, set fire to a large barn at the farm, causing an estimated loss of $32,000.

Lenine has been brought to bay but has been fighting off the attendants with a pitchfork. Lenine had been considered harmless.

Is opening new logging camp Prosper Mill Company will soon have supply Mill has been closed for a month on account of log shortage—manager here

Condition in Coos alarming Judge Wade says Average of one troublesome juvenile a day in court during past two weeks (Special to the Coos Bay Times) COQUILLE, Ore., July 13 — Delinquency on the part of young people is increasing at an alarming rate and County Judge Wade says that if it keeps up at this alarming rate it will take most of his time looking after such cases in juvenile court.

The judge says there is an urgent need for a curfew law which will be uniform in all the cities of the country. Last February he called a meeting of the mayors and city attorneys of the different cities of the county and there was much enthusiasm, but nothing further was ever done.

Lately the delinquency cases have been greatly on the increase, many having come to the attention of the juvenile court and the juvenile officer. There has been an average of one troublesome delinquent a day in court for the past two weeks.

Coos Bay wants better depot Present station too small to accommodate traffic Approach of rainy season makes it problem — railroad to act soon It is expected that the Chamber of Commerce and the business men of Coos Bay will unite with the traveling public in requesting the Southern Pacific to arrange for adequate depot facilities in Marshfield.

The present depot is too small to accommodate the traffic, only a small portion of the traffic being able to find even standing room in the station. With the approach of rainy weather, this makes it bad. The public does not mind standing out in the open air when the weather is good, but seriously objects to standing in the rain or seeking shelter in a store some distance from the train.

Boy Scouts going to sand hills John C. Kendall will be their guide Will leave Saturday afternoon and come home Sunday night About 20 members of the Boy Scouts will make a trip to the sand hills Saturday under the guidance of John C. Kendall.

A special boat will leave about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Mr. Kendall will take the boys to his cabin in the sand hills and they will camp out for the night and return home on the Sunday evening train. They will have a big bonfire Saturday night and will cook their own meals and expect to have a big time.

Coos Canning Co. wants berries Able to place crop now at good prices — receiving station near Cold Storage plant The Coos Canning company of this city are making daily shipment to Eugene and Myrtle Point canneries of strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries and loganberries, taking all of the berries they can secure at their receiving plant at the old Tallant cannery near the Cold Storage plant.

“We are paying top prices for all kinds of berries,” states Mr. Hendrix, the receiving agent of the company, “and from now on until the end of the season we are prepared to receive and handle all of the berries that can be delivered to us. There is a particularly good market for raspberries, logans and strawberries. The company crates and guarantees payment on all fruit handled by it.

The Coos Canning company expects to have its own plant in operation in 1921 as soon as there is sufficient acreage of small fruits and berries in bearing to warrant the construction of the same.

E.E. Foss, manager of the Prosper Mill Company, was in the city Sunday. Mr. Foss says that his plant has been shut down for a month on account of the shortage of logs, but that he expects to have a good supply soon, as he is opening a new logging camp in the Coquille river country. A logging road is being built and quite a large track of timber will be tapped. The new logging operation will supply the mill for quite a Violet J. Williamson while.

50 YEARS — 1970 Man pulled form water, ends up in Coos Bay Jail Wayne Kimbler Gunnell, 35, Coos Bay, was pulled from the waters of Coos Bay Saturday in front of Eureka Fisheries and arrested on charges of destruction of private property, disorderly conduct and being intoxicated in a public place. Bail was set at $50 on each count.

The incident occurred about 4 p.m. when Gunnell’s car plunged off the firm’s dock into the bay, with Gunnell in it. He extricated himself from the car, bobbed to the surface and was pulled to shore by a line thrown to him, according to Coos Bay police.

Shibles, Fenstamcher promoted within Western Bank operations Earle Shibles, manager of Empire branch of Western Bank since 1966 has been promoted to auditor of the bank’s entire system, it was announced today by A.W. Sweet, president. Shibles, who came to Western Bank in 1960 from First National Bank, Grants Pass, commenting on the promotion said he was sorry to leave the Empire branch so soon after moving into its new building, but that he was looking forward with enthusiasm to his new position.

Replacing him as manager is George Fenstemacher, previously assistant manager at the Gold Beach Branch of Western Bank. Fenstemacher joined the bank staff in October of 1969 after serving seven years as assistant manager of Security Pacific National Bank of Riverside, Calif.

Coos Bay considers request Coos Bay City Council Monday night heard requests for a traffic light study for North Broadway and Market, and for consideration of early waterfront development as part of the Neighborhood Development Program, City Center Tomorrow.

Retail Trades Committee and board of directors of Coos Bay Area Chamber of Commerce asked for a traffic count at Market and Broadway to determine the feasibility of installing a traffic light. Cars traveling east and west on Market often have difficulty in crossing the busy intersection, the committee’s letter pointed out, backing up traffic for considerable distance at time. Since Broadway is Highway 101 southbound through Coos Bay, the council directed the request to the Oregon Highway Dept.

Chamber directors and the retail committee also urged the city to consider development of the waterfront in an early phase of downtown redevelopment, including a fisherman’s wharf and other improvements.

U.S. Naval Facility to change command In a change of command ceremony scheduled for Aug. 11, Liutenant Commander William H. Parks will turn over the command of the U.S. Naval Facility

Mr. Parks, now enroute to Hawaii for a two week conference aboard the ammunition transport USS Birgo (AE-30), homeported at Concord, Calif. The Birgo is now in Vietnam where he will join the ship in mid-October.

20 YEARS — 2000 Boaters tell port fee hike will hurt Balancing budget: Harbormaster could propose boat owners pay from 5 to 26 percent more a year

By Elise Hamner City Editor More than 200 people lease boat slips in the Charleston basin, but just a few showed up at a town hall meeting Tuesday to talk about an increase in annual moorage rates.

Staff with the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay opened their offices to meet with boat owners and talk about an projected $81,000 deficit in the marina budget.

Six people listened as Harbormaster Don Yost explained how he proposes to manage the port’s marina business. Yost told boaters they have two options. First, the port could increase fees on a percentage basis.

A 5-percent hike, equal to the fee tacked on in 1999, would bring in about $15,000; 10 percent would total $30,000.

“A 26-percent increase is really what it’s going to take to cure the $81,000 deficit,” Yost told them, although he seemed to favor a 5-percent increase in fees.

The second option would bump up the utility charge on boaters from $225 per year to as much as $332 per year. That idea didn’t float well with boaters.

Expert says nation still vulnerable to gas price surges WASHINGTON — Record high gasoline costs in the Midwest have moderated, but a Clinton administration energy expert warned Thursday that other areas might see price surges this summer.

Crude oil prices remain high, gasoline inventories are still low, refineries are operating at near-capacity levels and demand is not expected to decline, John Cook, the federal Energy Information Administration’s petroleum division director told the Senate Energy Committee.

That combination leaves little room for supply disruptions without triggering other dramatic price spikes, he said.

Motorists on both coasts are particularly vulnerable. Though stocks of gasoline are recovering to near-normal levels in the Midwest, those on the East Coast are 8 percent below their 5-year average and California inventories have dipped 6 percent, Cook said.

The price of a gallon of regular gas averaged $1.59 nationwide Thursday, still 43 cents higher than a year ago, the EIA said.

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren

Woman fumes when man won’t take time to phone

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with the same man for 15 years.

For the last six, we have been living together. He’s a machinist who owns his own business and works strict hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Sometimes he locks his doors at 5 and works an hour or two later, but he doesn’t call to let me know he is working late. I have told him calling is common courtesy.

Sometimes he does it, but more often he does not. He thinks it’s “ridiculous” that I would wonder where he is, and if I want to know, I can call his shop.

Last Saturday morning he was up at 6 a.m. and told me he needed to drive 100 miles north of here to look at a “project” for a customer to see if he can fix it.

When I asked what the project was, he said he didn’t know. This guy is someone he has recently started a friendship with.

It seemed odd that he wouldn’t let me go along for the ride. He said he’d have his phone on him, and I could call anytime to see where he was.

When I didn’t hear from him all day, I started calling around 7 p.m. and three times after that, but he didn’t pick up. He pulled back into our driveway around 10 p.m. and told me he was helping the guy move cows, and he would have called me on the way home but his phone died.

I’m upset. He had dinner with them, and they have a landline he could have used. I told him how hurt I was and that I feel disrespected. He says he deserved a day to himself. He thinks I’m being ridiculous. Am I? Do I not deserve a phone call? -- WAITING AND WAITING IN MONTANA DEAR WAITING: You are not ridiculous. It was thoughtless of him not to call, but you said it doesn’t happen all the time. You are his lady friend, not his keeper. If he needs a day to himself, it might benefit your relationship to cut him some slack. And when it happens again, schedule something fun for yourself so you aren’t sitting by the phone.

DEAR ABBY: Our family and extended family are all highly educated individuals with advanced degrees. My son’s wife didn’t go to college, and while she is genuinely nice, she butchers the English language.

My granddaughter will be learning to talk soon, and I wonder what’s the best way to approach the situation. I don’t want to offend my daughter-in-law, but I also don’t want my granddaughter learning improper grammar. What are your suggestions on how to handle this problem? -- UNSURE ON THE WEST COAST DEAR UNSURE: Because your family and extended family are well-educated and hold advanced degrees, the more time your grandchild spends with all of you, the better her chances of learning proper grammar. Do not talk “baby talk” with her. Read to her and give her books as gifts. If her mother reads them to her daughter, they both may have a better chance of learning good grammar. Being around her well-educated father will also help, and once she’s in school, it will be reinforced.

The only thing you should NOT do is say anything that will make your son’s wife self-conscious about her upbringing because if you do, you may be seeing a lot less of that little family.

Coast Guard medevacs injured fisherman The World

NORTH BEND — A Coast Guard aircrew medically evacuated a 26-year-old man Saturday morning off the fishing vessel McKenzie Rose 100 miles west of Coos Bay. The fishing vessel’s captain used a marine radio to hail watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend at approximately 5:30 a.m. to report a member of the crew sustained a head injury and was in need of medical attention, according to a press relase from the U.S. Coast Guard, Astoria attachment.

The McKenzie Rose began to transit toward shore to more quickly rendezvous with the Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew, stated the release. A constant communication schedule was established between the sector and the fishing vessel.

The aircrew hoisted the injured fisherman shortly after noon and transported him to the Coast Guard airbase where his care was transferred to emergency medical services personnel.

“Getting this man to emergency medical care was a coordinated effort between the McKenzie

Rose crew and the Coast Guard,” said Petty Officer First Class Michael Halasz, Sector North Bend watchstander. “The teamwork greatly aided in the swift transport and treatment of the injured crew member.”

The current condition of the man is unknown.

Guard Search and Rescue Detachment Rogue River also responded to the distress.

The Oregon State Police and Curry County Sheriff’s Office, who had responders on shore near where the kayak overturned, said they could see the kayak in the water but not the man. The Coast

Guard Dolphin aircrew spotted the missing man on a rocky shore at the base of Humbug Mountain’s ocean side at 1:30 p.m.

A rescue swimmer deployed from the helicopter to help hoist the man safely from the rocks up into the helicopter. The kayaker was transported

Kayaker rescued near Humbug Mountain The World

NORTH BEND — A Coast Guard helicopter crew diverted from a transit flight Sunday to rescue a 58-year-old kayaker who became stranded on the rocky shore after his kayak capsized at the base of Humbug Mountain.

A good Samaritan witnessed the incident from shore and called 911 to report the distress, according to a news release from the U.S. Coast Guard 13th District PA Detachment Astoria.

A 911 dispatcher contacted Coast Guard Sector North Bend watchstanders at 12:35 p.m. and relayed that a male kayaker had overturned in the water near Humbug Mountain and was missing. The man was reported to be wearing a T-shirt, shorts and a life jacket.

An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Sector North Bends’s air facility in Newport, that was already in the air for a routine transit flight, diverted to help search for the man. A 29-foot Response BoatSmall crew from the Coast

to Cape Blanco State Airport where his care was transferred to emergency medical services personnel. He was reported to be in good condition.

“Since drowning is the

leading cause of death for boaters, it was good news to hear the kayaker was wearing a life jacket,” said Petty Officer First Class Michael Halasz. “Even a strong swimmer

can become exhausted or disoriented in the water, and wearing a life jacket can greatly aid in a person making it to shore and back home to their family.”

More than 200 universities back lawsuit BOSTON (AP) — More than 200 universities are backing a legal challenge to the Trump administration’s new restrictions on international students, arguing that the policy jeopardizes students’ safety and forces schools to reconsider fall plans they have spent months preparing.

The schools have signed court briefs supporting Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as they sue U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in federal court in Boston.

The lawsuit challenges a recently announced directive saying international

students cannot stay in the U.S. if they take all their classes online this fall.

A wide range of colleges and state and local officials are standing up to the policy, which faces mounting legal opposition. Massachusetts filed a federal suit Monday that was joined by Democratic attorneys general in 16 other states and the District of Columbia. Other suits have come from Johns Hopkins University and the state of California.

The University of California system has said it will sue.

A judge is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday in the case brought by

Harvard and MIT. If the judge does not suspend the rule, colleges across the U.S. will have until Wednesday to notify ICE if they plan to be fully online this fall.

The Department of Homeland Security and ICE say the new policy is backed by existing law forbidding foreign students from taking all of their classes online.

ICE suspended the rule in March in response to the pandemic, but the agency told universities it was subject to change, according to a Monday court filing from the Trump administration.

The agencies say their

updated guidance still provides leniency by allowing foreign students to maintain their visas even if they study online from abroad this fall.

“Rather than completely rescinding the March guidance and reverting to business as usual with respect to schools and foreign students, ICE announced a measured transition to begin a move toward reopening schools and allowing students to return to classrooms,” the brief said.

A brief filed Monday by 59 universities, however, says the rule throws their plans into disarray with less than a month before

some schools start the fall term. They challenged the policy’s legal grounds and say it forces schools across the nation to “choose between opening their campuses regardless of the public health risks, or forcing their international students to leave the country.”

The group includes all of Harvard’s companions in the Ivy League and other prestigious schools including Stanford and Duke universities. They collectively enroll more than 213,000 international students.

“These students are core members of our institutions,” the schools wrote.

“They make valuable contributions to our classrooms, campuses and communities — contributions that have helped make American higher education the envy of the world.”

The colleges are asking the court to block the rule as quickly as possible, saying it’s already being used to turn students away. Last Wednesday, a DePaul University student was prevented from entering the country after arriving in San Francisco, according to the filing.

Harvard previously said one of its students from Belarus was turned away from a flight at an airport in Minsk last week.

Names

about bad actors in law enforcement, said Amber Widgery, who specializes in justice issues at the National Conference of State Legislatures.

“We’ve seen unprecedented, swift responses,” Widgery said.

— In Colorado, a police reform bill just signed into law mandates

creation of a database like Oregon’s by Jan. 1, 2022.

— A bill working its way through the New York Legislature would require a public database containing the names of any officer who has had their employment terminated due to misconduct.

— Ohio has pending

bills that would establish a database of records of police officers’ use of force.

State Sen. Lew Frederick, who was among lawmakers who sponsored the database bill in Oregon, said the push needs to go further.

“The next step is to have information more

broadly available about discipline and complaints,” Frederick said.

“And have a robust system of effective community oversight boards watching use of force activities and hiring/transfer policies.”

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal tried to accomplish at

least part of that last month, by ordering all state, county and local law enforcement agencies to divulge the names of law enforcement officers who commit serious disciplinary violations.

The order is now on hold amid legal challenges from several police unions.

Kevin Brice, deputy district engineer with USACE, said in the release that current authority only allows the Corps to dredge within

the federal navigation channel. “…While this shoaling currently sits outside of the existing federal channel, we are working alongside Senator Merkley to seek a request for funding to study the

feasibility of removing the sandbar, and determine federal interest in potentially extending the federal navigation channel that would include the area of shoaling that has created these hazardous conditions,” Brice

said.

After funding is secured for this study, the process to get authority to dredge the channel to could take more than two years, the release said.

“Ultimately, if the USACE is able to expand

its authority to include the channel, it could save the Port of Coos Bay upward of $200,000 per dredge, would increase the frequency of dredging, and would improve safety,” the release said.

TUESDAY, JULY 14, 2020 | theworldlink.com | SECTION B

Washington retires Redskins nickname WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington NFL franchise announced Monday it is dropping the “Redskins” name and Indian head logo, bowing to recent pressure from sponsors and decades of criticism that they are offensive to Native Americans.

A new name must still be selected for one of the oldest and most storied teams in the National Football League, and it’s unclear how soon that will happen. But for now, arguably the most polarizing name in North American professional sports is gone at a time of reckoning over racial injustice, iconography and racism in the U.S. The team said it is “retiring” the name and logo and that owner Dan Snyder and coach Ron Rivera are working closely

to develop a new moniker and design. The announcement came on the old letterhead with the Redskins name because the team technically retains it until a new one is approved.

“As a kid who grew up in the (D.C. area), it’ll always be #HTTR (fight song ‘Hail to the Redskins’) but looking forward to the future,” starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins tweeted.

The “R” in “Hail to the Redskins” could soon be replaced by Redtails, Redwolves or Redhawks. Redtails or Red Tails — an homage to the Tuskegee Airmen from World War II — is the favorite on online sportsbook BetOnline, and the group said it “would be honored and pleased to work with the organization during and after the (name

change) process, should this name be adopted.”

This will be the NFL’s first name change since the late 1990s when the Tennessee Oilers became the Titans two seasons after moving from Houston.

After President Donald Trump last week criticized the Redskins and Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians for considering name changes, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president “believes that the Native American community would be very angry at this and he does have polling to back him up.” She cited a 2016 Washington Post poll showing 90% of Native Americans aren’t offended by the name, a survey that has since been discredited by experts.

The announcement came less

than two weeks after Snyder, a boyhood fan of the team who once declared he would never get rid of the name, launched a “thorough review” amid pressure from sponsors. FedEx, Nike, Pepsi and Bank of America all lined up against the name, which was given to the franchise in 1933 when the team was still based in Boston.

Native American advocates and experts have long criticized the name they call a “dictionary-defined racial slur.” Over a dozen Native leaders and organizations wrote to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last week demanding an immediate end to Washington’s use of the name.

Goodell, who has fielded questions on the topic for years, said he supported the review.

“The NFL and Dan Snyder, we have to commend them on making the right call to change the name,” said Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter, leader of the “Change the Mascot” campaign. “Dan Snyder won today because now he has a legacy that will be different from the racial slur that was the team name. I know that’s not an easy thing to do, but it was the right thing to do.”

Protests against the name predate Snyder buying the team in 1999, and, until now, he had shown no willingness to consider a change. Strong words from sponsors — including a company run by a minority stakeholder of the team — changed the equation.

Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Max Jung heads the ball in front of the Clark College net as Dylan Gomes defends during rainy match last fall at SWOCC. Soccer has been moved to next spring, along with volleyball.

NWAC moves three fall sports to spring JOHN GUNTHER The World

Next spring is going to be an extra busy sports season for Southwestern Oregon Community College and the rest of the NWAC schools after the conference decided to delay all fall sports but cross country and golf in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Cross country and golf will be held in the fall, with reduced seasons. But men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball both have been moved to the spring.

In addition, the men’s and women’s basketball season also will be pushed back, with the championship in May instead of March.

That, of course, is provided the virus is relatively in check

and sports can be held next year.

SWOCC athletic director Mike Herbert said moving soccer and volleyball is better than the alternative of not having those sports at all for a year.

“It’s better to do something than nothing,” Herbert said.

“And there’s still not a guarantee we’re not going to do nothing.

“We are staying optimistic.”

NWAC announced the change last week in a release on its website. The conference also gave guidelines for the return to sports.

All sports will have a phasedin approach to practice, starting with the red phase, when practices are limited to groups of less than 10. Groups can move up in size during the yellow phase, though without vulnerable population. Finally, scrimmages

and games can begin in the green phase.

For basketball, the red phase won’t begin until Jan. 16 (practice usually starts the first day of school in September), with the yellow phase starting Jan. 30 and the first date for games in the green phase being Feb. 13.

For men’s and women’s soccer, the red phase begins Feb. 3, followed by the yellow phase Feb. 17 and the green phase March 3.

For baseball and softball, the red phase starts Feb. 13, the yellow phase Feb. 27 and the green phase March 13.

And for volleyball, the red phase starts Feb. 27, with the yellow phase March 13 and the green phase March 27.

The basketball championships will be May 14-16, with softball

set for May 21-23, baseball May 27-31 and volleyball and soccer June 4-6.

The track and field and spring golf seasons will be similar to past years, with the track championships May 24-25 and the golf championships May 16-17.

Two other SWOCC sports, wrestling and swimming, are under the jurisdiction of a different governing body, the NJCAA. Herbert said he expected to learn more about those sports Monday afternoon (information wasn’t available by deadline), but that early indications were wrestling would be pushed further back into winter than normal and swimming would switch from a winter to a spring sport.

Speedway cancels tonight’s Speedweek event The World Coos Bay Speedway had to cancel its show scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, after the 360 Winged Sprint Cars canceled Speedweek due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That means no mid-week race this week, though the speedway will host one of its biggest drag racing events with Wally Weekend July 17-19.

Wally awards will be given Sunday in all divisions to the weekend’s winners.

The weekend starts with a test and tune and Friday night street drags.

The main racing is Saturday and Sunday, with the bracket winners Saturday guaranteed a chance to race for a Wally on Sunday.

Saturday’s action also will conclude with a Member Track Madness Gambler event.

The Saturday bracket winners race the Sunday winners for the Wally awards at the end of the day Sunday.

John Gunther, The World

A group of drivers race during an event earlier this season at Coos Bay Speedway. The speedway had another big night with visiting drivers over the weekend, but had to cancel an event Tuesday night when the traveling series called off a week of races.

On Friday, the gates open at 6 p.m., with racing and test and tune from 7 to 11. The entry fee for drivers and passengers is $20 while spectators pay $5. Kids 6 and under get in free, as with nearly every event at the speedway.

On both Saturday and Sunday the gates open at 8 a.m., with time trials at 11 and bracket racing starting at 1. The entry fee for drivers is $50 and the spectator fee is $12.

This past weekend, the oval dirt track was busy with every division filled with drivers from the South Coast and other parts of Oregon.

Nearly 90 cars were entered across all divisions.

Only two of the main events were won by South Coast drivers. Preston Luckman won the America’s Mattress Super Late Models, beating Jason Johnson

of Gresham and 10 other drivers.

Griff Smith again won the Junior Stingers, with fellow Bandon driver Alex Butler second and Lane Hitner of Myrtle Point third. Alexus Baker of Coquille won the B feature and was fourth in the main event.

Aaron Bloom of Cottage Grove won the Sportsman Late Models ahead of Ryan Emry of Corvallis and Scott McCombs of Albany.

Dokota Goddard of Corvallis won the Street Stocks, a field that included 17 drivers. Phil Lovvorn of Corvallis was second.

Scott Beaudoin of Portland won the Mini Outlaws, with Matthew Emry of Corvallis second.

Isaac Stere of Cottage Grove was the winner for Hornets, followed by Bart Pulse of Roseburg and Mike Bales of Florence.

Doug Coffman of Roseburg won the IMCA Sportmod division with Matt Sanders of Brookings second and Dustin Comer of Springfield third.

Results will be included in Saturday’s edition of The World.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Russell Westbrook of the Houston Rockets said Monday that he has tested positive for coronavirus, and that he plans to eventually join his team at the restart of the NBA season.

Westbrook made the revelation on social media. As recently as Sunday, the Rockets believed that Westbrook and James Harden — neither of whom traveled with the team to Walt Disney World near Orlando last week — would be with the team in the next few days.

In Westbrook’s case, that now seems most unlikely.

“I tested positive for covid-19 prior to my teams departure to Orlando,” Westbrook wrote on his Instagram page. “I’m currently feeling well, quarantined, and looking forward to rejoining my teammates when I am cleared.”

Westbrook is averaging 27.5 points, eight rebounds and seven assists per game for the Rockets this season. Houston has clinched a playoff spot and resumes its season with the first of eight seeding games on July 31 against Dallas.

Westbrook also offered a word of caution in his post.

“Thank you for all the well wishes and continued support,” he wrote. “Please take this virus seriously. Be safe. Mask up!”

Westbrook’s announcement came on another day where case numbers in Florida and Texas — two of the nation’s coronavirus hotspots — keep rising to levels that have officials and residents deeply concerned.

“I’m praying for his safety and the same for his family,” Phoenix guard Devin Booker said. “Hopefully he can get healthy and get down here as soon as possible.”

Inside the NBA bubble, optimism that the rules established by the league and the players will work — even though some Disney parks reopened to visitors over the weekend and the MLS restart, also at the campus, has seen two teams leave after a spate of positive tests.

“Our protocols are unbelievable,” Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said. “I think our protocols and our health and safety measures have been top-notch.

I think this thing will work perfectly. ... We’re doing everything that we can possibly do to make sure that we’re healthy, we’re safe and we’re in an environment where we can be successful and do our jobs at a high level.”

Officials in Houston have called for that city to lock back down as area hospitals strain to accommodate patients sick with the coronavirus. And in Florida, more than 12,000 new coronavirus cases were confirmed Monday.

Those protocols that Lowry spoke of were designed to be taken seriously, and at least two players inside the NBA bubble have already paid a steep price for violating quarantine upon their teams’ respective arrivals last week.

Sacramento’s Richaun Holmes revealed Monday that he “briefly and accidentally” crossed the NBA campus line to pick up a food delivery. Under the NBA’s rules of the restart, he now has to spend 10 days in quarantine.

Thorns settle for another NWSL tourney draw Portland takes No. 8 seed into bracket portion of event

HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) — The Portland Thorns will face top-seeded North

Carolina in the quarterfinals of the National Women’s Soccer League’s Challenge Cup after wrapping up the group stage with a scoreless draw with the rival OL Reign on Monday.

The Thorns were winless in the opening round to finish last among the

eight teams playing in the tournament, which was wrapping up group stage matches Monday.

Sophia Huerta, acquired by the Reign in the offseason, made her first start and had one of the team’s best chances late in the first half. Taylor Smith was open in the 61st minute but

her shot went wide.

Portland controlled possession for most of the first half but Reign goalkeeper Michelle Betos saved attempts from both Christine Sinclair and rookie Morgan Weaver.

Raquel Rodriguez got a long-range shot from the top of the box in the final

minute of regulation but Betos scooped it up.

The Reign saw the return of Jessica Fishlock, who hadn’t played since last season because of an ACL injury. She came in as a sub in the 72nd minute.

Lindsey Horan did not play for the Thorns after

scoring in the team’s last game, a 1-1 draw with the Washington Spirit.

All eight teams in the tournament advance to the knockout round.

The league’s ninth team, the Orlando Pride, was forced to withdraw because of positive COVID-19 tests.

NFL, Oakley come up with face shield to protect players NEW YORK (AP) — With NFL training camps set to start at the end of the month, the league believes it is closer to one answer when it comes to player safety amid the coronavirus pandemic: face shields for the players’ helmets.

The NFL and the players’ union agreed to several protocols in a 42-page document last week, including team travel, media and treatment response. They have also updated the facilities protocol, specifically addressing training camp, using recommendations from a joint committee of doctors, trainers and strength coaches.

However, the two sides haven’t agreed on testing and screening protocols for the coronavirus.

One idea suggested by the union’s medical director, Dr. Thom Mayer, to help control the spread of the virus was to have

FedEx earlier this month became the first sponsor to announce it had asked the organization to change the name, particularly important because CEO Frederick Smith owns part of the team. FedEx paid $205 million for the long-term naming rights to the team’s stadium in Landover, Maryland.

The lease at FedEx Field expires in 2027, and dropping the name keeps open various possibilities in Maryland, Virginia and Washington for the team’s new stadium and headquar-

A big key will be keeping athletes safe and monitoring constantly .

players wear face masks. The league’s engineers and a sports equipment company tested prototypes for the masks, but players shot it down.

“We’ve had a real robust discussion around it that stretches back a number of months,” said Dr. Allen Sills, the league’s chief medical officer. “From the start, the NFL Players Association, their medical advisers, their engineers have been engaged with us. We’ve also had dialogue with players along the way trying to look at early prototypes and developments.”

The face shield was designed by Oakley, which already provides visors for the players.

“We have well over 700 players that used the visors last year,” said Renie Anderson, chief revenue officer and executive vice president of NFL Partnerships.

ters. District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser has said the name was an “obstacle” to Snyder building on the old RFK Stadium site, which is believed to be his preference.

Bowser said she welcomed the name change but there were still obstacles to overcome before the team’s return from suburban Maryland became a serious possibility.

“Yes, we want to change the name and change the location,” she said. “The Washington football team should be playing in Washington.”

At a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in the northeast part of the district,

Redskins burgundy gear took up far less rack space Monday than that of the reigning MLB champion Nationals and about as much as the NHL’s Capitals. A store employee said the merchandise generally doesn’t sell very well, crediting that to a combination of the name, the move out of the district and years of professional mediocrity.

MLB’s Atlanta Braves and the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks have said they have no inclination to make a change. Some advocates would like to see all Native American names, mascots and imagery out of sports.

“We are going to get really adept at using thermometers,” Herbert said.

He added that SWOCC’s volleyball and soccer coaches were relieved to finally have a plan in place.

Original discussions had been to push back the start dates to late August, but as the number of COVID-19 cases started to rise and other conferences started moving sports seasons, NWAC switch course, Herbert said.

“It made sense to postpone everybody as opposed to just canceling,” he said.

The soccer coaches actually expressed an appreciation to having their sport in the spring, when the weather is good, Herbert said.

“I think they are also grateful that we didn’t cancel, based on (what happened to baseball), softball and track. They watched that last year.”
