District to reopen with hybrid schedule The World COOS BAY — The Coos Bay School District plans to reopen this fall with a hybrid schedule.

The new schedule is in an effort to reduce the number of students in the classroom and follow Oregon guidelines for reopening schools.

An online option is being offered for families who would like to be at home full-time and not return to campus beginning

in the fall.

The CBSD will implement a hybrid schedule to begin the school year. In this hybrid schedule, students will receive instruction through a combination of in-person and at-home learning.

Students will be physically present at school Monday through Thursday on an alternating AM/PM cohort schedule.

The AM cohort of students will attend from 8-11 a.m. and the PM cohort will attend from

12:30-3:30 p.m. The times may be adjusted for transportation purposes. Fridays will be used to support students and families where needed.

Cohort placement In order to accommodate busing, balance class sizes, and keep families together, the school district has placed students in cohorts by geographical location.

Families inside the city limits and south of Newmark will be

placed in the morning cohort schedule, and families north of Newmark and those outside of Coos Bay city limits placed in the afternoon cohort schedule.

Parents can check which cohort their address lands by visiting: https://tinyurl.com/cbsdCohortMap.For questions, call 541-2671310.

Fall enrollment and verification For families who were enrolled in the Coos Bay School

District at the end of last year or over the summer, the district will be collecting afterschool plans, transportation needs, and updated student information via curbside registration at all Coos Bay Schools on Aug. 26 and 27 from 8-11 a.m. and 12-3 p.m. To help save postage for kindergarten-seventh grade and Destination’s students, parents or guardians can pick up their child’s packet in advanced on Aug. 6 Please see School, Page A8

911 radio system upgrade The World COOS COUNTY — A project to install new radio towers to improve 911 service in Coos County is progressing.

On July 13-17, site surveys of radio tower locations were conducted by members of Coos County first responders and the vendor for the project, according to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office. The project was funded through a tax option levy approved by Coos County voters in May. In the two months since voter

approval, an implementation committee comprising the Coos Forest Protective Association, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, the Bandon Rural Fire Department, the Myrtle Point Fire Department, Myrtle Point Ambulance, and the police departments of Coos Bay and North Bend have met weekly and bi-weekly with Codan, the vendor for the project.

During this past week, two engineers from Codan, as well as two site survey engineers from Microwave Networks (a sub-contractor to Codan), have traveled around Coos County inspecting

and surveying sites for use in this project, as well as attempting to identify equipment that can be re-used in the hopes of keeping costs to a minimum.

“The plan is to replace the countywide simulcast radio system with a more encompassing system which will allow radio communications throughout a larger portion of Coos County,” said a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.

The current system, which has been failing for the past few years, had been built around a “ring” of tower sites situated

more on the western portion of Coos County. The new system is being planned to encompass a larger territory. The new system will also use updated microwave dishes with larger bandwidth to transmit radio message from multiple agencies in an expeditious manner.

The site surveys were conducted to inspect the sites for needs to upgrade the system. The cities of Coos Bay and North Bend and their radio systems were evaluated also to create a plan for their upgrade.

Judge blocks agents from arresting observers PORTLAND (AP) — A federal judge specifically blocked U.S. agents from arresting or using physical force against journalists and legal observers at protests in Oregon’s largest city where President Donald Trump is testing the limits of federal power.

Federal agents appeared to deploy tear gas early Friday to force thousands of demonstrators from crowding around the federal courthouse.

Protesters had projected lasers on the building and attempted to take down a security fence that had been reinforced to keep

demonstrators at a distance. The protesters moved away as clouds of gas rose from the area and flash grenades could be heard.

U.S. Judge Michael Simon made his ruling late Thursday, a day after Portland’s mayor was tear-gassed by federal agents while making an appearance outside a federal courthouse during raucous demonstrations.

Protesters have been kept up in the city for nearly two months since George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis.

Simon had previously ruled that journalists and legal observers are exempt from police

orders requiring protesters to disperse once an unlawful assembly has been declared. Federal lawyers intervened, saying journalists should have to leave when ordered.

“This order is a victory for the rule of law,” Jann Carson, ACLU of Oregon’s interim executive director, said in a statement.

The judge said objections by law enforcement were outweighed by First Amendment concerns.

“None of the government’s proffered interests outweigh the public’s interest in accurate and timely information about how

law enforcement is treating” protesters, he wrote.

Simon’s order is in effect for 14 days. Journalists and observers must wear clear identification, he said. A freelance photographer covering the protests for The Associated Press submitted an affidavit that he was beaten with batons and hit with chemical irritants and rubber bullets this week.

The ACLU lawsuit is one of several filed in response to law enforcement actions during the protests. The state of Oregon is seeking an order limiting fed-

COOS COUNTY — About 110 Coos County residents have signed up to report their temperature and other COVID-19 symptoms for up to one year.

Why? To provide state and local officials information that will help them make decisions about how to keep Oregon open and safe.

Since it was announced in May, the Oregon Health & Science University-led Key to Oregon study has been measuring COVID-19 prevalence throughout the state. So far, nearly 9,000 Oregonians have enrolled statewide.

The study aims to enroll up to 100,000 randomly selected Oregonians, who will spend less than 10 minutes a day to report their temperature and other symptoms on a secure website. Up to 10,000 of those enrolled will also be selected for asymptomatic testing, or testing those who do not have symptoms, to better measure an often-invisible source of COVID-19’s spread.

Those who take part are helping protect their families and communities. OHSU will share study findings with state and local decision makers, who can use the data to make decisions to meet the state’s economic and social needs — including reopening or closing local businesses and schools — while also protecting human health and lives.

“We are deeply grateful to those willing to volunteer their time to this important work,” said the study’s lead researcher, Jackie Shannon, Ph.D. “Each person who spends less than 10 minutes a day on this study will help us better understand how the virus is affecting Oregonians. If you were randomly selected, please consider taking part to help your community stay open.”

Nearly 3,400 Coos County households have been invited to participate in the study, and should have received mail notices in May. Those mailings included instructions about how to enroll online. If you lost your invite but are interested in enrolling, send an email to KeyStudy@ohsu.edu.

Those interested in following the study’s progress can learn more at https://www.ohsu.edu/key-to-oregon.

CB schools create safety and cleaning plans A2 | SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2020

The World

JILLIAN WARD The World

SOUTH COAST — Schools are making plans to protect students and staff from the ongoing pandemic while also keeping buildings clean before starting the new school year.

Though plans on how schools will start classes — either back in the classroom, all online, or a hybrid model — aren’t due to the state until Aug. 15, plans on how to keep people separate and safe are being established now.

At South Coast Education Service District, the buildings are closed to the general public unless an appointment is made.

For those few who visit, and for staff back at work, some of these safety plans are already being used.

“We’re in the process

Mike Baumer, lead maintenance technician at South Coast ESD, uses the electrostatic sprayer to disinfect a conference room. of establishing cohorts and maintaining a stable cohort to slow the spread of the virus,” said Tenneal

Wetherell, superintendent of South Coast ESD. “It’s similar to what school districts will do with

students.”

A cohort is a small group of people allowed to be around each other,

while maintaining six feet of distance. This small group will be screened for symptoms and asked where they have been in the last two weeks. Then their name will be added to the cohort list, making it easy to do contact tracing if someone tests positive for the new coronavirus.

“It’s similar to what school districts will do with students,” Wetherell said. “All students will be in a stable cohort and contact trace and log daily.

Every district will have a different sized cohort, but the goal is to keep them as small as possible and to keep them from interacting with each other.”

In addition, every room has an occupancy rate or a number of people allowed inside. As people go from place to place throughout the day, they will enter

stable cohorts. But “we work hard to not enter other cohorts and stay with our own,” Wetherell said.

To lessen cohort exposure, doors have signs saying “Stop — you’re entering a stable cohort.”

“We have developed mechanisms where we drop off and pick up items so you don’t have to enter a cohort,” Wetherell said, pointing to a box on the floor near a room. “Instead, we would call someone and say we’re dropping something or picking something up outside their door.”

Wetherell said being able to use Zoom and email will also lessen cohort exposure.

Room occupancy will be smaller than normal this year as well. Wetherell said occupancy is measured by 35 square feet minus all unusable space.

Man dies in log crash Man carrying stolen surf boards arrested The World REEDSPORT — A log truck crash claimed the life of a 54-year-old Lakeside man on Thursday, July 16.

At around 9:30 am, 9-1-1 dispatchers received a report of an injury log truck crash approximately a half mile up Loon Lake Road just off state route Highway 38.

When deputies arrived on scene, they located a 1989 Freightliner over an embankment and mostly submerged in Mill Creek.

The driver was identified as Rhett Michael Curran of Lakeside. Curan was declared deceased at the scene.

The log truck was recovered from the water by Mast Brothers Towing.

The investigation indicates speed was a contributing factor in the crash.

The Douglas County’s Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Douglas County Public Works, Lower Umpqua Hospital Ambulance, Reedsport Police Department and Mast Brothers.

The World LINCOLN CITY — On Wednesday, July 22, at about 11:25 p.m., Lincoln City Police officers responded to a reported suspicious person call in the southwest 3800 block of U.S. Highway 101 in Lincoln City.

It was reported that a man was walking along Highway 101 while carrying several surf boards, according to a press release from Sgt. Jeffrey Winn of the Lincoln City Police Department.

Officers located the man and identified him as 29-year-old Christian M. Berry of California and Hawaii, carrying several surf boards. When asked, Berry said he found the surf boards.

Christian M. Berry During the subsequent investigation, officers saw that the surfboards still had price stickers on them and that he was wearing two hats on his head. In addition, Berry had a wetsuit tied around his waist that still had tags on it. Berry was also found to be in possession of an acoustic guitar, wax, board fins and other items, many price-tag marked and surf-related.

Other officers began

checking the area and found the Zuhg Surf Shop located at 3219 SW Highway 101, sold hats similar to the hats Berry was wearing. Examining the exterior of the business, officers located signs of illegal entry. The business owner was contacted and he responded to the scene.

It was determined that the business had been burglarized and the owner verified the surf boards and other items Berry was in possession of had been stolen from the shop. The recovered stolen items were valued over $2,000 and they were returned to Zuhg. Some of the items, and a houseplant, were slightly damaged by Berry during the incident.

Berry was subsequently arrested and transported

to the Lincoln City Police Department on charges of burglary II, theft I, criminal mischief III, and trespass II. The Lincoln County Jail was contacted, but due to their current COVID-19 prevention policies, they refused to intake Berry on the listed charges. Berry was issued citations for the listed charges and released from the police department.

The Lincoln City Police Department encourages citizens to report any suspicious activity they witness.

“This is a great example of our citizens and community working in partnership with the Lincoln City Police Department to help prevent and solve crime,” said Sgt. Winn.

Police Briefs Man who pulled gun on protesters indicted COOS COUNTY — The man who allegedly pointed a gun at Black Lives Matter demonstrators last month is facing potentially one felony and two misdemeanor charges.

According to a press release from the Coos County District Attorney’s office, Brandon Dean Moore, a 36-year-old Coos Bay resident, was arraigned on a secret indictment Monday afternoon. The Coos County Grand Jury met June 30 and heard testimony from nine witnesses.

“The indictment returned by the grand jury alleges the following crimes,” the release said.

The crimes listed include unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm, which is a Class C felony. They also include menacing, which is a Class A misdemeanor, as well as disorderly conduct in the second degree, which is a Class B misdemeanor.

Moore was released on his own recognizance with special conditions that he not possess any firearms or have contact with “the

alleged victim,” the release said.

“This office did ask the grand jury to consider charging Moore with a bias crime,” the release said. “After hearing the evidence, the grand jury declined to indict Moore on a bias crime.”

The court proceedings will move forward on Aug. 24.

Winston man drowns in North Umpqua River ROSEBURG — A former Coos County man who was living in Winston drowned in the North Umpqua River Monday night, July 20.

Shortly after 8 p.m., 9-1-1 dispatchers received a report of a male who was in the North Umpqua River who was not breathing, according to a press release from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The callers directed responders to the 900-block of Echo Drive off of North Bank Road.

When deputies arrived, they found the male on an island where CPR was being performed by bystanders. The deputies were able

to get to the male by boat and bring him to shore to a waiting ambulance.

The male was identified as 36-year-old David Duane Ham of Winston.

Ham was transported to Mercy Medical Center where he later died.

Deputies learned Ham was swimming when he began to yell for help and went under water. The Douglas County Medical Examiner’s Office is investigating the death.

The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Douglas County Fire District #2, Bay Cities Ambulance and Glide Fire Department.

Inmate escapes briefly from Coquille jail COQUILLE — A Coos County Jail inmate escapted briefly from the jail Thursday evening.

According to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, at about 9:15 p.m., inmate Dallas Bradley-Olson was on a cleaning crew and was able to break out the glass of the front door of the jail, briefly escaping into the streets of Co-

quille.

With the assistance of the Coquille Police Department, Sheriff’s Office deputies and the Myrtle Point Police Department, Bradley-Olson was subsequently captured within three blocks of the jail.

He was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and has been lodged in the high custody block, where he will await trial.

Bradley-Olson was lodged in the Coos County Jail originally on charges that included aggrevated theft, felon in possession of a firearm, unlawful use of a vehicle, ID theft and unlawful possession of a firearm. Unknown to the Sheriff’s Office, Bradley-Olson had been indicted in federal court by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for additional charges on July 23.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Coquille Police and Myrtle Point Police Deparetment for their prompt response, and Coquille PD for finding and apprehending suspect Bradley-Olson.

Nine new deaths, 396 new COVID-19 cases in Oregon PORTLAND — COVID-19 has claimed nine more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 282, the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

Oregon Health Authority reported 396 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. today, bringing the state total to 16,104.

The new cases are in the following counties: Baker (1), Clackamas (25), Columbia (1), Crook (1), Curry (2), Deschutes (16), Douglas (6), Gilliam (1),

The World CURRY COUNTY — Curry County Public Health received notification from Curry General Hospital late Wednesday night, July 22, of one confirmed case of COVID-19.

Public Health reached out to the individual last night and the person is monitoring symptoms and self-isolating at home.

Curry County has had 11 COVID-19 cases, with five of those recovered and no deaths.

As of late morning on July 23, Curry County Public Health received notification from an outside lab, utilized by a

local healthcare provider, of an additional confirmed COVID-19 case. The individual is currently self-isolating and monitoring for symptoms at home. Contact tracing and investigation related to both cases is currently ongoing.

Curry County Public Health is currently working with Del Norte County Public Health, Curry County Emergency Management, Del Norte Office of Emergency Services, and the Pelican Bay Incident Command team to investigate and contact trace those individuals identified through testing conducted last week at

DeFazio: Emergency plans needed WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, on July 21 sent a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers urging the preparation of emergency contingency plans at the Port of Gold Beach, which has been threatened by severe shoaling.

“Shoaling in the navigation channel (at the Port of Gold Beach) threatens … the fundamental way of life in southwestern Oregon” said Rep. DeFazio in the letter. “I am gravely concerned that not dredg-

ing the main channel or the marina entrance will create a serious public safety risk at the Port of Gold Beach and endanger the economic benefits the Port brings to the local community.

Therefore, I ask you to develop emergency plans to maintain the federal channel and access to the marina with a focus on ensuring mariner safety, port accessibility, and economic development.”

Severe shoaling at the Port of Gold Beach has consistently impacted port operations for the past several years. The level of shoaling this year has

caused the Corps to postpone much-needed dredging of the port, which has threatened U.S. Coast Guard seasonal search and rescue deployment at the harbor this summer.

In the letter, DeFazio pushed the Corps to develop contingency plans should the shoaling continue and safe access to the Rogue River and Pacific Ocean is further impeded.

Earlier this summer, DeFazio wrote to the Assistant Secretary of the Army requesting emergency dredging funds for the Port of Gold Beach.

Coronavirus shouldn’t stop learning COOPER CONWAY Cascade Policy Institute

On March 16, Governor Kate Brown directed Oregon schools to stop in-person classes to slow the spread of COVID-19. Facing an uncertain future for “brick and mortar” schooling, 300 Oregon students completed the process to transfer to one of Oregon’s 14 online charter schools.

Eleven days after the shutdown of in-person schools, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) prevented additional student transfers to online charter schools. Jeff Kropf, the founder of Oregon Connections Academy, estimated that around 1,600 students were unable to move to his school because of ODE’s decision to freeze further transfers.

ODE’s decision curtailed thousands of students from reaching their full learning potential this past semester. However, policymakers have a rare chance to right these wrongs going forward.

Nine states have reported spikes in COVID-19 this past month, and a similar situation may occur this coming fall.

Given the uncertainties about the safety and feasibility of reopening all Oregon schools, lawmakers should allow parents to choose what kind of school in which to enroll their children.

The resulting increase in competition among charter, private, and public schools will encourage all education providers to adapt to the current circumstances to provide the best education possible for students.

In addition to increasing the educational opportunities that will be available for students, rolling back unnecessary regulation of charter schools will put more power over education choices into the hands of parents, where it belongs.

JOHN STOSSEL I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline: “Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind.”

The media are so clueless. Instead of “but,” the headline should have said, “therefore,” or “so, obviously.”

Of course, progressive policies failed! They almost always do.

“If you wanted a poster child for the progressive movement, it would be Minneapolis,” says Republican Minnesota Senate candidate Jason Lewis in my new video. “This is the same city council that voted to abolish the police department.”

The council, which has no Republicans, spends taxpayer money on most every progressive idea.

They brag that they recycle most everything. They have a plan to stop climate change. They tell landlords to whom they must rent.

They will force employers to pay every worker $15 an hour. They even tell supermarkets what cereal they must sell.

Despite such policies, meant to improve life for minorities and the poor, the Minneapolis income gap between whites and Blacks is the second highest in the country.

While that surprises the media, it’s no surprise to Lewis, who points out, “When you take away the incentive for work and savings and investment, you get less of it!”

Exactly. When government sends checks to people who don’t

work, more people don’t work.

Guarantees like a high minimum wage raise the cost of potential workers, so some never get hired.

High taxes to fund progressives’ programs make it difficult for businesses to open in the first place.

Lewis says; “ I’ve been touring businesses that were burned. They did not mention global warming, recycling or the environment one single time. You know what they say? Give me low taxes and give me public order.”

Lewis says Minnesota is now a “command and control economy. ... They’re not even shy about it.

(Congresswoman) Ilhan Omar said we need to abolish capitalism!”

Not exactly. But Omar did call for “dismantling the whole system of oppression,” including America’s economic systems that, “prioritize profit.”

Lewis says she wants to create “equal poverty for everybody.”

No, I push back, “She thinks her ideas will lift everybody up.”

“Show us, Ilhan,” he responds.

“Where has it worked? Everything that you’re proposing hasn’t worked!”

He’s right.

But Cam Gordon, a current Minneapolis councilman, tells me the city’s economic “disparities were caused by a long trail of historic racism.”

He tweeted: “Time to end capitalism as we know it.”

He says that would be good because “We could have more democratic control of our resources.”

Cam Gordon is the kind of guy

who gets elected in Minneapolis.

“Every alternative to capitalism brings stagnation and poverty,” I say to him.

Gordon answers, “I think we can take care of each other better.”

Lewis points out that before COVID-19, “the people gaining the most were at the bottom end of the wage scale. Women, Hispanics, African Americans were gaining the most. A rising tide truly lifts all boats.”

He’s right again. In the past 50 years, while progressives attacked profits, capitalism -- the pursuit of profit -- lifted more than a billion people out of extreme poverty.

When I point that out to Gordon, he simply ignores my point about fabulous progress around the world and says: “The problem with capitalism as we know it is this idea that we have to have constant growth. ... Capitalism got us the housing crisis right now and ... climate change. It’s actually going to destroy the planet.”

Sigh.

His Green Party’s “community-based economics” would give the community control over private property. Seems to me like community-based economics is just another way to say socialism.

That’s brought poverty and tyranny every time it’s been tried.

“When socialism fails,” says Lewis, “the apologists always say, ‘We just didn’t do it enough, just didn’t do it the right way.’ (But) it’s always failed.”

Sadly, today in America, the progressives are winning.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Institutional racism thriving in America Institutional racism in America is thriving blatantly right under our noses.

Here are three examples: Margaret Sanger was an eloquent white supremacist and eugenicist, with public ties to both the KKK and Hitler’s Third Reich.

As founder of Planned Parenthood, she wrote of her intentions to employ sterilization, birth control and abortion to reduce “the Negro population,” as she called it.

Today, most of Planned Parenthood’s government-funded abortion clinics are in minority neighborhoods. As a result, some Black neighborhoods currently have more abortions than live births.

The clarion and inspirational “Dream” enshrined in our nation 57 years ago by Martin Luther King is now being undermined by government mandates requiring skin/ethnicity quotas in education, advancement and hiring.

These racism-affirming reversals by local and national authorities are socially toxic to our nation.

Darwin’s unproven theory of evolution has been morphed into factual status by a century of educational indoctrination and lock-step scientific dogma.

His original book cover trumpets “The Preservation of the Favoured Races,” wherein he details his belief that people with dark skin are inferior to Europeans in the “evolutionary ladder.”

Quoting from his section on “The Descent of Man,” he stated that, “The Western nations of Europe now so immeasurably surpass their former savage progenitors, that they stand at the summit of civilization ...

The civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races through the world.”

I doubt your readers were taught in school that Darwin was a hard-core White supremacist, nor that his published racist theories were central to Sanger’s Eu-

genic vision in founding Planned Parenthood, and Hitler’s subsequent mass genocide of Jews and Gypsies. Darwin’s racist theories persist as a pernicious and deadly plague throughout the world.

Stan Avery Bandon 140,000 reasons for a decision Some wear a mask to protect themselves.

Some believe wearing a mask takes away their freedom.

Some wear a mask to protect others.

Most find wearing a mask uncomfortable; I know I do.

When the person with COVID-19 is your child, sister, brother, mother, father, friend, you find your reason shifts. It takes on an urgency of the heart.

Americans now have more than 140,000 reasons to wear a mask.

To call this pandemic a hoax is to call their deaths a hoax.

The coronavirus is a doorstep away from all of us.

What’s the reason for your decision?

Sue Powrie Myrtle Point Appalled at refusal to wear masks I am appalled at the disrespect and rudeness of some people who enter some restaurants without masks and are asked to put a mask on while in the building.

Owners face large fines for having people there without a mask. I’m so disappointed that some people in my hometown would treat people who are serving them that way.

This isn’t what this community should be about. So sad!

Dianne Harrison Coos Bay Anti-science mania sweeping nation The ongoing rejection of science in favor of alternative facts, conspiracy hoaxes and lies is a threat to us all.

Consistent science denial has

been achieved by Republicans at all levels, from the White House, through Congress, to state Governors’ mansions, to state legislatures and supporters with promotional yard signs.

A clear consensus exists among infectious disease specialists in medical science that we could control this pandemic by wearing a mask when in public and reducing physical contact with and in proximity to others.

Yet, the pro-death forces of Republicanism demand that rather than control the disease, we promote it by increasing contact and throwing our children and families into harm’s way.

Of course, the same deniers of medical science also deny climate science, ultimately placing all life at risk.

This is insane. Let’s hope we can survive the anti-science mania sweeping the nation, and remove these pro-death Republicans from office.

Trisha Vigil Medford Send a message to Congress Seven months into the year 2020 and COVID-19 is not going anywhere fast, action needs to be taken in urging congress to support global funding in CARES 2.0.

Without emergency global funding being added to CARES 2.0 the economic fallout will be massive, putting almost 500 million people in poverty around the world.

Congress needs to do their part in saving the economy by supporting at least $12 billion for the International Affairs Budget.

Theaters ask studios to release blockbusters

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2020 | A5

The World

NEW YORK (AP) — A long time ago in a pre-COVID universe far, far away, blockbusters opened around the globe simultaneously or nearly so. In 1975, “Jaws” set the blueprint. Concentrate marketing. Open wide.

Pack them in.

Since then, Hollywood has turned opening weekends into an all-out assault. Staggered rollouts still happen, of course, but the biggest films are dropped like carpet bombs.

Anything less risks losing the attention of moviegoers. Global debuts north of $300 million became commonplace. Last year, “Avengers: Endgame” made well north of $1 billion in a couple days.

Hollywood has now gone more than four months without a major theatrical release. While some films have found new streaming homes, the biggest upcoming ones — “Tenet,” “Mulan,” “A Quiet Place Part II” — remain idled like jumbo jets on the tarmac. The leading chains are still shuttered.

Recent coronavirus spikes have forced release dates to shuffle and chains to postpone reopening to August.

Now, movie houses say that despite far from ideal circumstances, it’s time for new movies. Four months of near zero revenue has brought the $50 billion annual business to its knees.

While the beleaguered restaurant industry still has takeout and airlines continue to operate with masked flyers, the vast majority of U.S. movie theaters haven’t punched a single ticket since March. Some have turned to selling popcorn curbside.

“The problem is, we need their movies,” says

John Fithian, president and chief executive of National Association of Theater Owners. “Distributors who want to play movies theatrically, they can’t wait until 100% of markets are allowed open because that’s not going to happen until there’s a vaccine widely available in the world.”

“The old distribution models of big blockbusters,” adds Fithian, “need to be rethought.”

That may mean returning to a more old-fashioned release pattern, opening films overseas first and, in the U.S., opening at different times in different areas.

When Warner Bros. earlier this week announced it was delaying the release of Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” because of the rise in cases, Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich said the studio is “not treating ‘Tenet’ like a traditional global day-anddate release.”

Right now, the biggest movies are getting further away, not closer. AMC, the world’s largest circuit, on Thursday delayed its reopening from the end of July to mid-to-late August.

After “Tenet” earlier this week postponed indefinitely, Disney’s “Mulan” followed suit Thursday.

Disney also pushed back numerous releases, including films in the “Avatar” and “Star Wars” franchises, back by a year.

“A Quiet Place Part II” also joined the exodus Thursday, uprooting from Sept. 4 to April 23 next year.

The coronavirus crisis has ushered in new chapter in the often symbiotic, occasionally quarrelsome relationship between distributors and exhibitors.

Splitting ticket sale revenue approximately in half, their fortunes have often been closely linked.

The largest studios — the Walt Disney Co., Warner Bros., Universal — now all have streaming services of their own now, along with television operations. So they have options. The on-demand release of “Trolls” caused a rift between Universal and AMC. But the two halves of theatrical moviegoing have worked largely in concert through the pandemic thus far.

It’s in their own self-interest. Studios have been loath to sacrifice billions in box office for their priciest and most popular releases. On Thursday, John Stankey, chief executive of Warner Bros. parent company AT&T said direct release to HBO Max could be option for some Warner Bros. movies but not the $200 million “Tenet.”

With distancing protocols and other measures, cinemas have reopened in parts of Europe, the Middle East and South Korea, where last weekend Yeon Sang-ho’s “Train to Busan” action sequel “Peninsula” debuted with $13.2 million. Theaters in China, the world’s second largest movie market, this week reopened with theaters limited to 30% capacity.

North America, usually the main event of a blockbuster release, may have to learn to follow the rest of the world.

Despite the virus surge in much of the U.S., exhibitors believe they can operate relatively safely by adhering to health officials, decreasing theater capacity and cleaning in between showings.

Tropical storm strengthens as it nears Texas MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Hanna strengthened slightly Friday as it moved toward the Texas coastline, threatening to bring heavy rain, rough waters and strong winds, all while another tropical storm continued to approach the Caribbean.

Hanna was centered about 230 miles east of Corpus Christi, Texas, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in its 1 p.m.

CDT advisory. The storm had maximum sustained winds around 50 mph and was moving west-northwest at 9 mph.

Hanna was forecast to make landfall Saturday. A tropical storm warning was in effect from the mouth of the Rio Grande to San Luis Pass, Texas. A tropical storm watch that had been in effect from San Luis Pass to High Island, Texas, was discontinued.

Forecasters expected Hanna could bring 4 to 8 inches of rain and coastal swells that could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

Hanna broke the record as the earliest eighth Atlantic named storm, according to Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach.

The previous record was Harvey on Aug. 3, 2005, Klotzbach tweeted.

Tropical Storm Gonzalo was also the earliest Atlantic named storm for

its place in the alphabet.

The previous record was held by Tropical Storm Gert, which formed on July 24, 2005. So far this year, Cristobal, Danielle, Edouard and Fay also set records for being the earliest named Atlantic storm for their alphabetic order.

Gonzalo was moving at 18 mph while its maximum sustained winds weakened to 45 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center’s Friday afternoon update. It was centered about 445 miles east of the southern Windward Islands.

The Hurricane Center said that those in the Windward Islands should monitor the storm as it is expected to approach the islands late Friday and Saturday. Some strengthening was possible but the storm is expected to weaken as it moves into the Caribbean Sea. A hurricane watch has been issued for Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A tropical storm warning is in effect for several places, including St. Lucia, Tobago and Grenada. Forecasters said Gonzalo could bring 2 to 5 inches of rain.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren

GIRLFRIEND OF 13 YEARS CAN’T GET STEPMOM’S ATTENTION

DEAR ABBY: I live with my significant other. We have been together for 13 years now. I would like to ask his stepmother why she refuses to acknowledge me. She sends holiday cards addressed only to her stepson. I am left off invitations as if I simply do not exist. Should I confront her and tell her it hurts my feelings?

I have had a couple of visits with her, and I’m respectful. She has introduced me as “a friend” of her stepson. I feel it’s time to speak up. Do you agree? -FED UP IN CALIFORNIA DEAR FED UP: I am surprised that after all this time your partner hasn’t spoken to his stepmother about this.

I agree it is time to bring this out into the open, but only if you can curb your resentment and talk calmly with her.

Tell her her omissions have been hurtful and ask why she seems incapable of acknowledging your relationship with her stepson. Once you have put her on the spot, LISTEN to what she has to say, but resist the urge to strike out. If you can manage that, you will have not only learned something important about her, but you will also have kept your dignity.

DEAR ABBY: People often stress out over the stuff that goes on in daily life and don’t seem to know how to deal with it. Frankly, I don’t know either, because I stress out more than most of the people I know. Do you have any advice on some things I can do to stress less? -TRYING TO COPE IN THE SOUTH DEAR TRYING TO COPE: Several things come to mind. Make it your business to get out of the house and walk every day for at least 30 minutes.

I find it has helped me to put things into perspective. Look online for some simple meditations and breathing exercises, which can also help to relax you.

If you drink, do so only in moderation. Remember, alcohol can be a depressive and make you feel tired and down. When you are feeling overwhelmed, recite the Serenity Prayer: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom

to know the difference.”

And if your stress continues, don’t suffer in silence -- discuss it with close friends and family, and if necessary, your doctor.

DEAR ABBY: I was a girl, then a young lady, next a mother and now a grandmother. I was never a “guy” until the last 10 years, when waitstaff and salespersons began calling me that when I am with my husband. Examples: “How are you guys tonight?” and “What can I get you guys?” I am not, nor have I ever been a “guy.” Other than baring my breasts, how do I let people know that I am not a guy and wish to be addressed otherwise? -- CALL ME MA’AM IN FLORIDA DEAR CALL ME: The servers and sales staff are not intending this as a personal affront. Using the word “guys” to refer to a couple or a group is becoming so common it’s now in Webster’s dictionary. However, this is a complaint voiced by many of my readers of a certain age, along with not enjoying being addressed as “Sweetie” or “Young Lady.”

If it bothered me as much as it does you, I would quietly take it up with the manager or supervisor, and suggest that because it is annoying, “Sir” and “Ma’am” would be a more suitable substitute for “you guys.” You might also prefer to dine in a less casual restaurant or shop in a more exclusive store to see if you are addressed differently.

New requirements for face coverings A6 | SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2020

From Staff and Wire reports PORTLAND — In light of the continued spread of COVID-19 in Oregon — including a troubling rise in cases of community spread that cannot be traced and contained — Governor Kate Brown on Wednesday announced new statewide health and safety measures, including new requirements for face coverings and businesses, effective Friday, July 24. Unless the spread of COVID-19 begins to slow, the Governor made clear that additional restrictions would be necessary.

“Oregon, we ventured out onto the ice together and that ice has begun to crack. Before we fall through the ice, we need to take steps to protect ourselves and our community,” said Gov. Brown. “So it’s time for further actions to slow the spread of this disease. Keep in mind, this is not an on or off switch.

This disease is something

The World

that, for the time being, we must live with. However, when we see numbers rise, we must respond in turn.

We must dim the lights.

We must scale back, limit our interactions, take more precautions.”

Beginning July 24, the following new requirements will apply: Face Coverings Face coverings will be required for all Oregonians ages 5 and up in indoor public spaces and outdoors when six feet of distance cannot be maintained. The current restrictions call for anyone 12 and older wearing masks in those places.

Face coverings will be required even in cases of physical exertion indoors, and outdoors when six feet of distance cannot be maintained.

Businesses The maximum indoor capacity limit is capped at 100 for all venues in Phase II counties and for restaurants and bars in

Phase I or II counties.

Restaurants and bars will be required to stop serving customers at 10:00 P.M statewide.

In conjunction with the mask expansion, Oregon’s Department of Education announced that school students will be required to wear face coverings during in-person instruction if they return to the classroom in the fall. The department will distribute 5 million face coverings to school

districts for students and employees to wear to help with the new requirement.

Brown said that state health and education officials are working together to draft “clear metrics” for school boards on reopening. The governor said the metrics will be released this week.

“One thing is very clear, school in the fall will not look like a normal year,” Brown said.

The requirement for masks at lower ages is

new.

“These younger children can be infected

by COVID-19. These younger children live with families,” Oregon State Health Authority Epidemiologist Dean Sidelinger said.

Although Brown announced added safety measures, there is one mandate that is loosening. The state is starting to allow outdoor visits to residents at long-term care facilities where there

are no COVID-19 cases.

Sidelinger said many of the cases are sporadic or community spread.

“Meaning the virus is circulating more than we hoped,” Sidelinger said.

In addition, Brown said there has been an increase in cases connected to tourism. As a result she is considering restricting travel into Oregon when tourists are coming from state’s with high infection rates and requiring mandatory quarantine for people traveling from known COVID-19 hotspots.

“I will be taking action to address this soon and my office is talking to neighboring states about this issue,” Brown said.

Sidelinger said although hospitalizations are continuing to rise, it is not increasing at the same rate as new infections, in part because there are more cases among younger people who tend to experience milder symptoms of COVID-19.

fin has wanted to find out what happened to her. “… He was exonerated in December and still had prosecutors in the news saying he was guilty,” Puracal said. “That steps down the effort to figure out what happened to (Freeman). They put him in a position to have no choice but to file a lawsuit in order to push the case forward.”

The federal civil rights lawsuit is against numerous police and other officials in Coos County.

The suit focuses on how Freeman’s case was investigated.

Even though no trial date has been set yet, Puracal said the usual measures taken before a case goes to

trial can be done remotely, including discovery and deposition.

Puracal said that since McGuffin was released from prison just before Christmas last year, he “has been able to reconnect with his daughter, which has been a beautiful thing to see.”

“I think he thought it would be easier getting out (of prison) than it is, so it’s been a struggle,” Puracal added. “He really wanted to stay in Coquille. That’s where he grew up and where his parents are. (He) wanted to make up for the lost time with them, but he couldn’t find a job. No one would hire him there because of the stigma that surrounded him.”

Because of this, she said he found work in Portland.

“That’s been difficult for him because he’s a family man and being away from family was difficult and now that he’s out, he’s still having to be away from his family,” she said.

According to a Monday press release from McGuffin’s legal team Maloney Lauersdorf Reiner, PC., the lawsuit alleges that local agencies manufactured “false evidence and (hid) other evidence that would have cleared him.”

The lawsuit is filed against the City of Coquille, the City of Coos Bay, Coos County, Oregon State Police, as well as Sheriff Craig Zanni. The lawsuit is also

filed against individuals from those departments, including Mark Dannels, Pat Downing, Susan Hormann, Mary Krings, Kris Karcher, Shelly McInnes, Raymond McNeely, Kip Oswald, Michael Reaves, John Riddle, Sean Sanborn, Eric Schwenninger, Richard Walter, Chris Webley, Anthony Wetmore, Kathy Wilcox, David Zavala, the estate of Dave Hall, and the Vidocq Society.

The lawsuit states that McGuffin seeks “economic and non-economic damages,” “an award of punitive damages,” as well as the cost of his attorney fees and “such other relief as the Court finds just and equitable.”

COQUILLE — As of Tuesday, no trial date had been set yet for the civil rights lawsuit filed in federal court over the handling of Leah Freeman’s murder investigation.

The lawsuit was filed by Nicholas McGuffin, who was wrongfully convicted and spent nine years in prison over her death before being exonerated last year.

“Federal court typically works hard to keep us on track and moving in that direction … We should expect that,” said Janis Puracal, one of McGuffin’s attorneys at Maloney Lauersdorf Reiner, PC.

and also the attorney who investigated his case with the Forensic Justice Project, leading to his exoneration.

Puracal answered questions from The World about the case, saying, “We want to be able to get this case in front of a jury as soon as possible.”

Of course, in the era of the new coronavirus, not everything may go as planned. “… (I)t’s difficult to predict how long it takes to get to trial,” she said. “In the time of the pandemic, it’s nearly impossible to predict because of the complicated factors.”

Since Freeman disappeared almost 20 years ago, Puracal said McGuf-

Jobless claims rise as cutoff of extra benefit nears WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation got another dose of bad economic news Thursday as the number of laid-off workers seeking jobless benefits rose for the first time since late March, intensifying concerns the resurgent coronavirus is stalling or even reversing the economic recovery.

And an extra $600 in weekly unemployment benefits, provided by the federal government on top of whatever assistance states provide, is set to expire July 31, though this is the last week recipients will get the extra funds. It is the last major source of economic help from the $2 trillion relief package that Congress approved in March. A small business lending program and one-time $1,200 payment have largely run their course.

With the count of U.S. infections passing 4 million and the aid ending, nearly 30 million unemployed people could struggle to pay rent, utilities or other bills, and economists worry that overall consumer spending will drop, adding another economic blow.

“I’m going to be broke,” said Melissa Bennett, who was laid off from her job at a vacation time-share in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. “I’ll be brokebroke. I want to go to work, I

want health insurance, I want a 401K. I want a life; I have no life right now.”

Without the extra unemployment benefits, Bennett will receive just $200 a week, and she’ll have to decide whether to pay her mortgage or her utilities first.

More than 1.4 million people applied for jobless benefits last week, the Labor Department said Thursday, up from 1.3 million the previous week. That is the first increase since March and 18th straight week that it has topped 1 million. Before the pandemic, applications had never exceeded 700,000. An additional 975,000 people applied for aid under a separate program that has made self-employed and gig workers eligible for the first time.

The news sent stocks slumping on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 recording its worst loss in nearly four weeks. Uncertainty across markets helped gold touch its highest price in nearly nine years.

The weakening of the labor market has raised fears the economy will shed jobs again in July, after two sharp hiring gains in May and June.

Analysts say the economy can’t improve until authorities can control the spread of the

virus, a need that is complicating the reopening of businesses and schools.

Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary of health and a member of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, even suggested another shutdown might be necessary. He noted that nearly universal mask-wearing, sharp restrictions on restaurant occupancy and shutting down bars were nearly as effective in controlling the virus as another shutdown of all nonessential businesses.

“Now, if you don’t do that, and people don’t achieve those goals, particularly mask-wearing, there may be no alternative,” Giroir said on MSNBC. Congress is negotiating another aid package that could extend the extra unemployment support, though likely at less than $600.

With the extra $600, roughly two-thirds of the unemployed are receiving more than they earned at their former jobs, research has shown. Republicans argue that it’s discouraging people from returning to work.

On Thursday, Senate Republicans unveiled a $1 trillion package that would replace the $600 with an amount that would bring a laid-off worker’s jobless benefits to 70% of their previous

Poll: Most Americans favor requiring LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three out of four Americans, including a majority of Republicans, favor requiring people to wear face coverings while outside their homes, a new poll finds, reflecting fresh alarm over spiking coronavirus cases and a growing embrace of government advice intended to safeguard public health.

The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also finds that about two-thirds of Americans disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling the outbreak, an unwelcome sign for the White House in an election year shaped by the nation’s battle with the pandemic.

More than four months after government stay-athome orders first swept across the U.S., the poll spotlights an America

increasingly on edge about the virus. The federal government’s response is seen as falling short, and most Americans favor continued restrictions to stop the virus from spreading even if they might hamstring the economy.

Support for requiring masks is overwhelming among Democrats, at 89%, but 58% of Republicans are in favor as well. The poll was conducted before Trump, who for months was dismissive of masks, said this week that it’s patriotic to wear one.

“Not wearing a mask, to me, poses a greater risk of spreading the COVID,” said Darius Blevins, a 33-year-old Republican-leaning independent from Christiansburg, Virginia, who works in bank operations. Blevins said he wears a mask in public because “it’s much more

effective than not wearing the mask.”

It’s an opinion echoed by data analyst James Shaw, an independent who tilts Democratic. “If you understand the facts, there is really no issue,” said Shaw, 56, of Noble, Illinois. “The data is crystal clear.”

For months health officials have said several simple steps could save lives — washing hands frequently, staying away from crowds, especially while indoors, and pulling on a mask when heading out to the supermarket, the office or a restaurant.

And despite heated rhetoric about masks in some corners, 95% of Democrats and 75% of Republicans said they’re wearing face coverings when leaving the house. Overall, 86% of Americans say they’re doing so, compared with 73% in May.

income. Both parties have agreed on another $1,200 stimulus check.

Democrats in the House approved a $3 trillion package last month that would extend the $600 through January. Given the limited time available, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin urged a bill dealing with jobless benefits and aid to schools be considered next week. Democrats say the Republican plans are not enough.

The economic woes come as outbreaks worsen, particularly in the South and West. Florida officials reported 173 new virus deaths Thursday, a daily high that brings the overall number to more than 5,500. With cases surging, President Donald Trump scrapped plans for a Republican National Convention celebration in the state.

California saw a record 157 new deaths, raising its toll to 8,027. An additional 89 deaths in Arizona pushed its total to 3,000, with over 1,000 deaths reported in the past 15 days.

Desperate to stop the spread of the virus and its resulting economic impact, more states are adding or broadening mask requirements. A new survey from The Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs

Research says three out of four Americans, including a majority of Republicans, favor requiring people to wear face coverings outside their homes.

In a small step toward normalcy, many Americans eagerly welcomed baseball’s opening day, which arrived four months late.

In contrast to the U.S., the outlook has brightened for some other major economies. Europe is forecast to rebound next year after it managed to shrink its coronavirus caseload. Unemployment in the 19 countries that use the euro has remained contained, reflecting aggressive government efforts to keep workers on payrolls.

China has become the first major economy to grow since the start of the pandemic. Economists say China will likely recover relatively fast because of the Communist Party’s move to impose early and intensive anti-disease measures.

In the U.S., applications for unemployment benefits declined in many states hard hit by the virus, including Texas, Florida, Georgia and Arizona. But claims rose in other states seeing increases, including Louisiana, California and Tennessee.

Black protestors say focus on feds hasn’t derailed message SALEM (AP) — After George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police, people in Portland came out in droves to protest police brutality and racism, chanting that “Black lives matter.” As the weeks went by, the crowds dwindled to a few dozen and the protests increasingly turned violent.

Since President Donald Trump deployed militarized federal agents to the progressive city early this month, the numbers of protesters have swelled again into the thousands, including mothers wearing yellow shirts and dads armed with leaf blowers to drive away tear gas.

“Feds go home!” the mostly white demonstrators chant. But they also call for racial justice, often led

by Black protesters with megaphones.

While the protests have taken on a new tone of opposition to federal intervention, Black leaders

and protesters say the surge in activity — though often chaotic — hasn’t distracted from their anti-racist message. Instead, it’s shined a spotlight on it.

Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, the first Black woman elected to that office, rejected the idea that the Black Lives Matter protests are being hijacked by white people.

“We cannot afford not to respond to this attack on our democracy, this attack on our Constitution,” Hardesty said. “And we would be foolish to believe that we could stay focused just on Black lives and not address the physical assaults that are taking place.”

Federal agents have used tear gas, less-lethal ammunition and other force against protesters who have been targeting the U.S. courthouse with fires and other vandalism during two months of nightly demonstrations.

Peaceful protesters have

also been tear-gassed and hit by impact munitions.

U.S. authorities say they must act to protect federal property and officers, while local leaders say their presence has made the situation more volatile and urge the agents to leave.

By being subjected to tear gas, nightsticks and pepper spray, “white people are stepping up and they’re seeing the brutality” that Black people normally experience, said white protester Carol Vogel Warner, who has an adopted Black son. “They’re feeling it.”

Portland police also have used tear gas and other force against protesters.

State Sen. Lew Frederick, a Black Democrat who’s dodged pepper balls fired by federal agents at the protests, said the Trump administration “miscalculated” if it thought it could end the demonstrations with a show of force.

“It reignited the protest

movement in Portland,” Frederick said, adding that he’s seen more Black people demonstrating now than in the early days.

Those attending the protests are overwhelmingly white, a reflection of Oregon’s makeup. Its population is only 2% Black, compared with 13% for the entire U.S., largely due to the state’s racist past.

Its Constitution excluded Blacks from living in Oregon until the clause was repealed in 1927.

Even this week, with the nation focused on the deployment of the federal agents and their tactics, white protesters chanted the names of Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black Americans who have been killed by police.

Vogel Warner said thousands of people stopped marching Monday to remember them.

“We all raised a hand and we had some moments of silence, offering either

prayers or chants or our silent love to those people who died,” she recalled.

The intervention in Oregon could be just the beginning of a clash between the Trump administration and Democratic leaders in cities nationwide. The White House announced this week that federal agents also will deploy to Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee and Albuquerque, New Mexico, to combat rising crime.

The Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 150 Black-led organizations across the U.S., said it remains “undeterred.”

“As we witness Portland becoming a war zone, we understand clearly that this is an attempt to intimidate not just protesters on the streets of Portland but to derail our movement in defense of Black lives,” said Chinyere Tutashinda, a coalition organizer. She called it “a failed strategy”

designed to increase support for Trump’s re-election.

Some Black protesters, however, say that white people who have been throwing water bottles at law enforcement and causing vandalism are setting back the movement.

“When we ask people to stop, they don’t. I have been pushed tonight. I have been shoved tonight. I have been told to shut up,” Portland demonstrator Julianne Jackson said. “If white people want to help us, this is not helping us.”

The protests are just one prong of the move to end police violence and racial discrimination and serve underserved communities, Frederick said. Another is changing laws and providing assistance.

After Floyd’s death, Oregon lawmakers passed police accountability measures proposed by the People of Color Caucus, to which Frederick belongs.

Protests

Oregonian and longtime politician, was in the crowd when they used the tear gas.

Wheeler has opposed the federal agents’ presence but has also faced harsh criticism from the protesters, who yelled and swore at him.

Earlier in the night, Wheeler was mostly jeered by protesters as he tried to rally the demonstrators who have clashed nightly with federal agents. But they briefly applauded when he shouted “Black Lives Matter” and pumped his fist in the air.

Trump in his tweet attempted to ridicule Wheeler, calling him the “Radical Left Mayor of Portland, who last night was booed & shouted out of existence by the agitators & anarchists.”

The Justice Department’s inspector general said Thursday it will review the conduct of federal agents who responded to unrest in Portland and in Washington, D.C., after concerns emerged from members of Congress and the public.

City council members accused Wheeler of not reining in police who used tear gas multiple times on protesters before federal agents arrived. And city business leaders have condemned the mayor for not bringing the situation under control before the agents showed up.

Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Chad Wolf denied that federal agents were inflaming the situation. He told “CBS This Morning” that Wheeler legitimized criminality by going to the front of the crowd of demonstrators where the fires were lit and where people were trying to pull down a security fence.

Wheeler did not participate in lighting any of the fires or attempting to tear down the fence and was surrounded by his security team when he was gassed.

Police said the crowd threw Molotov cocktails, lit fires in a park and in trash cans and released hundreds of gallons of water from fire hydrants.

Wheeler’s appearance in the protest zone came

hours after state attorneys for Oregon urged another judge to issue a restraining order against the federal agents. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum’s lawsuit accuses federal agents of arresting protesters without probable cause, whisking them away in unmarked cars and using excessive force. Federal

authorities have disputed those allegations.

The hearing in U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman’s court focused on the actions of the more than 100 federal agents responding to protests outside the Portland courthouse.

The state’s motion asks Mosman to command agents from the

Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, Federal Protective Service and U.S. Marshals Service to immediately stop detaining protesters without probable cause, to identify themselves and their agency before arresting anyone, and to explain why an arrest is taking place.

eral agents’ arrest powers during the demonstrations.

On Wednesday, Mayor Ted Wheeler and hundreds of others were objecting to the presence of federal police sent by Trump, who labeled the demonstrators as “agitators & anarchists” after Wheeler was gassed.

Wheeler, a Democrat, appeared slightly dazed and coughed and said it was the first time he’d been tear-gassed.

He put on a pair of goggles someone handed him and drank water but did not leave his spot at the front of the raging demonstration — with protesters lighting a large fire between protective fencing and the Mark O.

OSAA remains committed to fall sports Local officials are encouraged even as many questions loom JOHN GUNTHER The World

North Bend’s Olivia Knutson sets the ball Tuesday during a match against Ashland at North Bend High School last fall. Many questions still need to be answered about sports this fall.

Blazers return Nurkic, Collins

When the Oregon School Activities Association’s executive board announced this week it was still planning a fall sports season if it’s possible to do safely, it was welcome news to the Bay Area’s two athletic directors.

OSAA Executive Director Peter Weber sent out an update at the end of the board’s three-day online meeting this week.

“The OSAA Executive Board remains committed to providing school sports and activities opportunities for students this fall provided it’s safe to do so and within the parameters set by

the Governor’s Office, Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Department of Education,” Weber wrote, noting that OSAA and its 290-plus member schools are bound to work within those parameters.

The newest update from OSAA came one day after Washington announced it won’t start sports until January and two days after California announced it will delay activities until December and split them into two seasons.

“I like the fact that we are still keeping things on the table,” North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester said. “I know that there are a number of people that feel like the OSAA should just make a decision, but I feel like things are going to change between now and the start of school anyway.”

“One thing that is really important to point out is that the board is committed to working to exhaust

every option,” added Marshfield athletic director Greg Mulkey.

The Executive Board will meet again Aug. 3 to continue its discussions, Weber said.

He noted that OSAA has received countless emails advocating the safe return of school sports and activities.

“The OSAA Executive Board and staff share the passion and desire expressed by this communication and have bene advocating with the Governor’s Office accordingly,” Weber wrote. “Just as schools will not look the same in the fall of 2020, it’s clear that school sports and activities will not either. It’s important to remember that any participation that can be done safely is a positive step forward for the physical health and mental well-being of students and their communities.”

Portland has chance to make playoffs when season starts back up this week ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press

The long NBA layoff because of the coronavirus has actually helped the Portland Trail Blazers.

That’s because two key pieces of the team, big men Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins, are healthy and ready to play. Nurkic broke his leg last season and hadn’t played since. Collins injured his shoulder earlier this season.

“I think this is the best possible way it could happen to me,” Nurkic said of his return. “To go through a camp, to go through the whole camp, these last two or three weeks. I think it was perfect.”

Nurkic was averaging 15.6 points and 10.4 rebounds for the Blazers last season when he was injured.

“You want to be better every day, if you’re good at something you try to get better. For me it was the same approach. I’m not going to waste my time in losing 14 months to not get better,” Nurkic said. “For me it was a challenge every day, what I can do better today than I did yesterday maybe OK. So that was my approach and I definitely, after however long we’ve been here, I can tell that I’m a better player than I was.”

Nurkic and Collins will likely be in the starting lineup along with Carmelo Anthony and the solid backcourt duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum when the NBA season restarts in Florida.

The Trail Blazers were just out of the playoff picture, sitting ninth in the Western Conference standings on March 11 when the league was shuttered. They’ll have eight games to secure a playoff berth, starting on July 31 with Memphis.

“We’ve got to come to play. I mean, we come out with Memphis off the bat. That’s a must win. Obviously, we’re playing a lot of good teams on our schedule, and we’re in ninth place now so we’ve got to hold serve,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said.

The Blazers finished 53-29 last season and clinched the third seed in the Western Conference, going on to make the conference finals for the first time in 19 years. So expectations were high for Portland heading into the season.

“Everything that we did in the past doesn’t matter. We have eight games to get ready for the playoff, to either get in or not get in. So we’re not really worried about what happened up to this point,” McCollum said.

Racers take Wallys at Coos Bay Speedway JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — In the world of drag racing, the most prestigious honor is the Wally trophy, named after NHRA founder Wally Parks.

Coos Bay Speedway gets to hand out Wallys in one big weekend each summer, a two-day festival known as Wally Weekend.

“That’s one of the cool things about being an NHRA track — we get to race for these things,” said Drake Nelson, the owner of Coos Bay Speedway.

Last weekend, the speedway’s event drew drivers from several parts of Oregon and California as, following in line with the popularity of the oval dirt track this summer, the turnout was big.

A total of 83 cars (including three motorcycles) were entered in the races on Saturday and 80 more on Sunday.

“That’s a lot of cars for Coos Bay,” Nelson said.

At the end of the two days, the winners from Saturday and Sunday in each of the divisions raced for their own Wally Trophy.

And some of them were won by familiar names.

Mike Powell, who comes down from Oakridge several

weekends a summer to race at the speedway, won the Super Pro division, beating Curt Welty in the final.

Powell, who often returns home with weekend wins, had to take the division Sunday to get a chance to race for a Wally after he lost in the semifinals Saturday when his truck had a mechanical problem.

“Everything turned out good today,” he said.

Powell won his third career Wally and got to share the celebration with multiple family members. His wife and two sons also were racing during the weekend.

The group has grown to love the trip to the relatively cool coast.

“They’re good people,” he said. “Everybody helps everybody down here.”

Also making the trip from a

hot-weather city to the speedway south of town frequently is Dani Fry of Medford, who won her first Wally by taking the Sportsman division when Rick Norrington started too quickly in the final, drawing the dreaded red light that means disqualification.

“I’ve waited for years for this,” said an overjoyed Fry. “My husband has nine Wallys. My sister has eight. This is my first.

“It means a lot.”

Fry and her husband, Mike Guida, celebrated their anniversary at the speedway and he was as emotional about Fry’s win as she was.

“I’m just slightly (proud),” Guida said.

“He made my dream come true to race,” Fry said.

Medford is one of the four other Oregon cities with a drag strip, but Fry and Guida are more than happy to make the drive to Coos Bay Speedway.

“We race over here because we love it here,” Fry said. “It’s the best track and the best group of people you will find.”

They almost went home with two Wallys, but Guida lost in the Pro final to Kory Alby of Coos Bay, the only local Wally winner.

Timbers play to draw, win group in MLS tourney LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jeremy Ebobisse scored his third goal of the MLS is Back tournament and the Portland Timbers played to a 2-2 draw against the Los Angeles Football Club on Thursday night in the final group stage match.

Both teams had clinched spots in the knockout round coming into the game. The draw allowed Portland to take the top spot in Group F with seven points. The Timbers came into the match with a pair of 2-1 wins over the LA Galaxy and Houston.

“Winning the group is a very

important part of what we came here for,” Timbers coach Giovanni Savarese said. “We knew it was going to be a very difficult group for us. We are very content to have done that against three difficult teams. I think we can continue to grow to be better.”

Ebobisse came on as a substitute in the 58th minute. The striker evened the game in the 81st minute with a header into the back of the net after a corner kick by Diego Valeri.

Jaroslaw Niezgoda also scored for Portland, who will face FC Cincinnati on Tuesday in the

round of 16.

Bradley Wright-Phillips and Mark-Anthony Kaye scored four minutes apart in the first half for LAFC, which gets defending league champion Seattle on Monday in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference final.

LAFC, which had five points to take second in the group, beat the Galaxy 6-2 and had a draw against the Dynamo.

“We started the game slow, but then we had a good response, and I thought we picked things up in most of the second half,” coach Bob Bradley said. “I thought we

had control. We didn’t do a good enough job of finding the third goal, being sharp in the right moments and finishing the game that way.”

Portland opened the scoring in the seventh minute when Sebastian Blanco found Niezgoda with a crossing pass. The Polish striker ran past LAFC midfielder Latif Blessing and beat LAFC goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega, who was playing out of position, for his first MLS goal.

Niezgoda is the third Timbers’ player in the past two seasons to score in his first club start.

Hamlin races to another win KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Three straight finishes outside the top 10 for Denny Hamlin these days counts as a rough patch.

He was once again smooth as they get Thursday night.

Hamlin hung around the front of the pack all night, avoiding trouble that cost several playoff contenders in the final stage, then breezed past Kevin Harvick for the lead in the closing laps. Hamlin then held off charging Brad Keselowski for his NASCAR Cup Series-leading fifth victory of the season and 42nd overall. He also won for the second straight time at Kansas Speedway.

“I don’t know we had the best car. We definitely had a top-three car all day,” Hamlin said after his burnout in front of the empty grandstands. “We just went for it there at the end. The pit crew did an amazing job getting us out there in front.”

Hamlin had struggled the past three weeks, failing to finish better than 12th. But after showing good speed early, his Joe Gibbs Racing team made all the right calls during a crash-filled final stage. Keselowski finished second and Martin Truex Jr. came across third.

Harvick wound up sliding to fourth and Erik Jones capped a big day for the Gibbs boys in fifth.

William Byron led the race as he chased his first

career race, but he slide backward after a late caution and wound up finishing 10th. Alex Bowman also made a charge to the lead but finished behind Aric Almirola and Cole Custer in eighth.

The youngsters wound up leaving it to the veterans to battle it out over the final laps.

“We got to the lead but we just went dead sideways after about four or five laps,” said Harvick, who had been tied with Hamlin with four wins. “We were just holding on hoping for another restart, because we could hang for a couple laps.”

Truex may have had the fastest car on the track by the end of the night, which began with temperatures in the mid-90s and a heat index approaching triple digits.

But he ran out of time trying chase down his teammate.

Joey Logano led early before his night really ended in disaster — and took some playoff contenders with him.

His problems began when a tire got loose on pit road during the first stage, sending him to the back.

He was working his way forward early in the final stage when his left front tire went down, sending Logano into the outside wall. Matt DiBenedetto and Jimmie Johnson, the last two drivers on the good side of the playoff cut line, sustained heavy damage as the field checked up.

Wallys From B1

And it took a near perfect run for Alby to beat Guida in the final race of the weekend.

Alby had a reaction time of .003 seconds and hit his projected time for the eighth-mile strip, known as the dial time, on the number to edge Guida in a race between two drivers each going for their 10th Wally.

Alby said his last Wally came in 2014 in Seattle.

“It’s been a while,” he said. “In 2018 we were in eight or nine finals and couldn’t seal the deal.”

He credited his son Rayce, who also races, and

“Doctor, I have a suspicious looking mole on my shoulder.”

Darren Bridges of Creswell, right, edges Tom Melson of Roseburg at the line in a close finish last weekend. daughter Marissa for their assistance.

“Without their help I wouldn’t be able to do it,” he said.

The kids spend a lot of time in the shop helping Alby with his various drag cars and he said Marissa supports him 100 percent and Rayce “keeps me calm.”

Alby earned the chance to race for the Wally by winning the division on Sunday, beating Dennis Adkins in the final.

In the other contested Wally on Sunday, Gary Edwards won the Motorcycle class when Jason Sauer drew a red light.

Davyvan Moore won the Junior Dragster Wally because he was the only racer in the division for the weekend.

Drag racers will get one more chance to win a Wally during the King of the Track weekend in

September. In that event, Sept. 19-20, the top drivers in each class will compete against each other for the track title and coveted Wally, meaning a possible showdown between the motorcycles and the fastest drag cars (several of the drivers were in the 110mph range in their winning runs Saturday and Sunday with Sauer speeding down the track at 120 mph on his motorcycle Saturday).

Meanwhile, the focus turns to the oval dirt track for three race dates over the next eight days.

Saturday, July 25, is Ken Ware Chevrolet Night, with racing in all the local divisions as well as a visit from the Southern Oregon Dwarf Cars.

The gates open at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 6:30 with admission $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and students 7

to 17, free for kids 6 and under and $35 for a family pass for two adults and up to three kids.

Then on Wednesday, July 29, the speedway hosts a Wednesday Night Throwdown, with Street Stocks, IMCA Sportmods, IMCA Modified and Limited Winged Sprints.

Admission is $15 for adults, $13 for students and senior citizens and $45 for a family pass. Racing will start at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 1, is Whelen Fan Appreciation Nigh and the Outlaw Pro Stock Challenge. Racing starts at 6:30 p.m. in all the local classes, as well as winged sprints. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and students and $35 for a family pass.

Sports Briefs FOOTBALL Washington picks a temporary name

Call ToDay! 541-672-7546 Accepting Medicare, OHP, PPO and most Health Plans

WASHINGTON — The NFL team formerly known as the Redskins will go by the Washington Football Team for at least the 2020 season, giving the organization time to choose a new, full-time name.

Gone is the Indian head logo and the name Native American advocates have called a dictionary-defined racial slur. Here to stay are the burgundy and gold colors that are synonymous with the franchise’s storied history.

Executive vice president

and chief marketing officer Terry Bateman, hired Monday to oversee the name change and rebranding process, called the temporary design “a nice link between the history and the future.”

HOCKEY New Seattle team will be the Kraken SEATTLE — The NHL’s newest team finally has its name: the Seattle Kraken.

The expansion franchise unveiled its nickname Thursday, ending 19 months of speculation about whether the team might lean traditional or go

eccentric with the name for the league’s 32nd team.

“The Kraken is a name born of the fans. It was suggested and championed by the fans,” Seattle CEO Tod Leiweke said.

In opting for the sea creature of Scandinavian folklore, Seattle bypassed options like Sockeyes, Evergreens or Metropolitans, the last of which would have been a nod to Seattle’s hockey history.

There was even a push from some fans for the team to try to acquire the Thunderbirds name from the local junior team.

But Kraken was a clear favorite among fans.

Bandon Crossings leads Salmon Run The World Bandon Crossings took the lead in its two-part visitational tournament against visiting Salmon Run golfers last week.

As with an earlier competition against Coos Golf Club, the event includes two rounds, the second coming this week at Salmon Run near Brookings.

In the portion of the tournament at Bandon Crossings, there were 13

total matches scheduled, though Bandon Crossings won one by default because Salmon Run didn’t bring its 13th team.

Of the other 12 bestball matches, Bandon Crossings won seven and Salmon Run five. Three points were available in each match, for the front nine, the back nine and the total match, meaning a total of 39 points. Bandon Crossings leads 24.5-14.5 after the first round.

Bandon Crossings had four pairs sweep all three points in their matches: Toby Stanley and Richard Stefiuk, Martha Blochlinger and Marilyn Pothier, Neal Cahoon and Sheryl Todd, and Patti Cox and Roger Cox. In addition, the pairs of Lisa DeMaio and Ralph DeMaio, Chip England and Wim McSpadden, Gerard Ledoux and Luke Thornton and John Loverin and Ed Tyner won partial points

for Bandon Crossings by either winning or halving the front or back nines.

Salmon Run’s wins came from Sue Ryan and Kara Miller, William Lentz and Joe Maybee, Don Stiles and Ron Slonicker, Todd Rigby and Steve Robinson, and Gary Knight and Timothy Young.

Results are included in today’s Community Scoreboard, along with other recent Bandon Crossings results.

MLB season has opening day, now the sprint to playoffs begins TIM DAHLBERG

Associated Press

The fans behind home plate at Dodger Stadium were fake, and so were the cheers in the nation’s capital.

The games themselves seemed real enough, assuming you weren’t looking too closely. And Nationals star Juan Soto’s positive test for coronavirus was all too real.

Baseball got the opening day many thought might never come this year, though it wasn’t exactly time to celebrate. Soto’s last-minute absence Thursday as the defending champions opened play at home was a grim reminder — as if any were needed — that the virus will overshadow anything that happens on the field this season.

Watching from a distance, you might wonder why they were even trying. While the baseball was decent enough it’s hard to imagine anyone missing the game so much that they’ll find this version of it compelling over a 60-game season.

If there was a feel, it was artificial, like the Xbox had been accidentally activated and a video game was on the big screen at home. Even the intense storm that ended play in the sixth inning in Washington seemed like it had been programmed on a Hollywood back lot to ensure a Yankee win.

And, really, how interesting can cardboard people be after a few games even if that was a likeness of Tommy Lasorda behind home plate watching his beloved Dodgers beat the hated Giants 8-1.

Still, there was cause for die-hard fans everywhere to celebrate.

In New York’s 4-1 win over Washington, Giancarlo Stanton’s first inning home run was thrilling to Yan-

kee fans, who have to be dreaming he might hit the magic mark of 20 this year. Gerrit Cole looked like he was worth every bit of the huge new contract that lured him to the Bronx, and at this rate might lead the league with eight or nine wins.

In Los Angeles, all the cardboard cutout fans had smiles on their faces, and with good reason. It doesn’t rain in Southern California, so none of them were going to get soggy.

And, check the math on this, but the Yankees and Dodgers might have both just clinched a spot in the expanded playoffs that were hastily added just before the opening pitch.

No, it’s not baseball as we know it. It can’t be, as long as the virus is ravaging the country and short-sighted people remain in charge of what is left of America’s pastime.

Games are supposed to be a celebration. Regular seasons are supposed to mean something. Pitchers are supposed to hit, at least in the National League.

Most of all, fans are supposed to be there to offer real cheers and live and die with every pitch.

“You dream your whole life about coming and playing in a big stadium with all the fans and then there’s none,” Dodger pitcher Walker Buehler said from the dugout. “It’s going to be an interesting one for sure.”

Real noise is from another time, which right now seems so far away.

A virus that knows no boundaries drastically changed the complexion of the season, and may yet end it before scheduled.

Even if the games go into October, the season may not end well.

The expanded playoffs announced just before first pitch in Washington means 16 of 30 teams will be in the postseason. The plan was heralded by

commissioner Rob Manfred as something that will add excitement to the season, but the entire season will be one to quickly forget if a team with a losing record wins the World Series.

It’s hard to fault baseball for making the effort, even if it can do only so much. There’s something about watching baseball again on a summer night that at least hints at a return to normal, even if that normal may no longer be there.

Dodger Stadium was beautiful as usual in the twilight, though even the cardboard fans had to be concerned about ace Clayton Kershaw being scratched with a bad back. At least it wasn’t the virus, they might have said to each other, which would mean something else indeed.

Unfortunately, no one but the cutouts and a few people allowed in Dodger Stadium saw the start of the season on the West Coast. ESPN was so busy airing commercials that the first batter was already on base when it came back on the air.

The network did rebound to air two f-bombs by the Dodgers Joc Pederson after grounding out in the sixth inning, for what that’s worth.

In both Washington and LA there were tributes to the Black Lives Matter movement. Several Giants took a knee during the national anthem as did Dodger superstar Mookie Betts, with Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy placing a hand on each shoulder of their new teammate.

There was a lot to take in on this, the most unusual of opening days.

Baseball was in the spotlight, a luxury it won’t have once the NBA and NHL begin play for real.

It worked for the most part, at least for one night.

But even a short season can get awfully long in a hurry.

Playoffs expanded to 16 teams this year NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball and the players’ union agreed Thursday to expand the playoffs from 10 teams to 16 for the pandemic-delayed season, a decision that makes it likely teams with losing records will reach the postseason.

The agreement was reached hours before the season opener between the New York Yankees and World Series champion Washington Nationals. The deal applied only for 2020 and included a surprise benefiting the Yankees the most: Collection of

baseball’s luxury tax will be suspended this year, a person familiar with the details told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made.

Sixteen of the 30 teams will advance to a best-ofthree first round: the firstand second-place teams in every division and the next two clubs by winning percentage in each league. Those winners move on to the best-of-five Division Series, where the usual format resumes.

The final four teams are

in best-of-seven League Championship Series, and the pennant winners meet in the best-of-seven World Series.

“It’s such a unique season, why not try a little something different and make it as exciting as possible,” said Colorado shortstop Trevor Story, whose team has never won a World Series title. “I know it’s going to be such a sprint with the 60-game season; adding more playoff teams will just add to the fire and the excitement and the fandom around the game. Anything can hap-

pen in a 60-game season.

I’m all for it.”

In each league, the division winners will be seeded 1-3, the second-place teams 4-6 and the teams with the next two-best records 7-8, which means up to four teams in one division could be in the postseason. The first round pairings will be 1 vs. 8, 2-7, 3-6 and 4-5.

“This season will be a sprint to a new format that will allow more fans to experience playoff baseball,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

OSAA

establish a routine before we start pulling kids back out of class and playing,” Forrester said.

Mulkey said that while many of Marshfield’s teams have been practicing through the summer in some form, they now will take at least some break to make sure the kids don’t get burnt out before the season starts.

“All of our coaches were 100 percent on board they are going to take a week or two off from this point to that start date,” he said.

Football, as well as cheerleading and dance, is currently prohibited because of the contact nature of the sports, though OSAA is hoping to receive clarification from the state about what might be allowable for cheerleading and dance.

Weber did say teams will not be allowed to hold multiple practices.

In what Mulkey considers to be another big decision, the Executive Board said it would determine eligibility by the last semester before the pandemic struck, which is

significant since distance learning didn’t work well for some students.

“The academic piece is a nice piece,” he said of how OSAA will rule on who is eligible to participate.

Questions still remain about what seasons might look like — if sports will be kept regional as much as possible with North Bend and Marshfield playing other South Coast schools and not their league foes in some sports.

“Every schedule in the state is no good now,” Forrester said, adding that he will try to schedule as many North Bend games on Saturdays as possible so kids don’t miss school.

And there is always a chance OSAA could push all sports into 2021, like Washington and California have done.

One option with that would be stacking seasons on top of each other that aren’t traditionally held at the same time.

“I am not in favor of stacking seasons,” Mulkey said. “If you move football to the spring and also have track and golf and base-

ball, that is almost impossible for schools that share athletes for all those sports.

Now you are forcing kids to make a decision.”

Another option might be flopping the seasons and bringing spring sports that lend themselves to social distancing into the fall.

“Golf, tennis, baseball and softball, those are sports that can do a pretty good job maintaining the six-foot distance,” Mulkey said. “If that’s what it comes down to, it’s maybe the best option.”

He noted, though, that plan comes with a major risk. If the decision is made to move the sports and then the fall season is canceled anyway because of the ongoing pandemic, athletes will have lost two complete seasons in those sports.

“That’s a real delicate conversation we have to make,” Mulkey said.

For now, there is optimism but more waiting.

“We’re hoping on Aug. 3 they are going to have a little more definite idea what we’re going to do,” Mulkey said.

From B1

The Executive Board did decide to push back the start of the fall season, with the first contests for volleyball, soccer and cross country now slated for Sept. 23, and there is no timeline for a return for football. The start of fall practice for volleyball, soccer and cross country remains Aug. 17.

“New guidance from the state requiring face coverings even when exercising indoors will require further consideration regarding guidance for indoor activities,” Weber wrote. “These dates allow for local school control regarding fall practice schedules while enabling them to focus on their primary objective of reopening to students.”

Both Forrester and Mulkey applauded the decision to push back the season.

“I really like the fact that they delayed games until the 23rd because it does give us a chance to get kids back in school and

Blazers From B1

“It’s a completely new season, completely new circumstances, new players. So we’ve just be better overall and really take advantage.”

DEPTH UPDATE With the return of Nurkic and Collins, the Blazers are almost at full strength.

But there are two notable absences: Trevor Ariza and Caleb Swanigan have opted out of the tournament.

Ariza’s absence will no doubt be a blow. Acquired by the Blazers in a January trade with Sacramento, he was averaging 8 points and 4.6 rebounds with Portland and he had developed a good chemistry with his new teammates.

WHERE WE WERE Just outside the playoff picture before the season was shut down, Portland was feeling a sense of urgency. Now it’s even greater. Portland has made the playoffs in each of the last six seasons.

“We don’t have time to ease our way in, we don’t have time to try and figure stuff out, we’ve got to come in assertive and aggressive and just go after it,” Lillard said.

The result is a decidedly slimmer physique.

“I haven’t seen 230-235 since early, early in my career,” Anthony said. “So now it puts me back in a mindset, from a confidence standpoint, knowing I was able to get back to that. On the court I feel good, I feel healthy, and I have a lot of clarity now, too.”

PORTLAND UNREST The national spotlight has been on Portland in recent days after federal authorities were sent to the city to quell protests that have been ongoing since the death of George Floyd. The appearance of the federal officers prompted larger protests.

Lillard had participated in a Black Lives Matter march in Portland in early June. He said he has been watching the developments back home.

“I had a personal experience with the protests on a particular day and it was all peaceful,” Lillard said. “And every one that I’ve seen video of has been peaceful, so I don’t understand why federal troops need to be on the ground and physically removing people from the streets. I feel like it’s unnecessary and it’s definitely a scary situation.”

The World

White House drops payroll tax cut from aid proposal WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday reluctantly dropped his bid to cut Social Security payroll taxes as Republicans stumbled anew in efforts to unite around a $1 trillion COVID-19 rescue package to begin negotiations with Democrats who are seeking far more.

Frustrating new delays came as the administration scrambled to avert the cutoff next week of a $600-per-week bonus unemployment benefit that has helped prop up the economy while staving off financial disaster for millions of people thrown out of work since the coronavirus pandemic began.

Trump yielded to opposition to the payroll tax cut among his top Senate allies, claiming in a Twitter post that Democratic opposition was the reason. In fact, top Senate Republicans disliked the expensive idea in addition to opposition from Democrats for the cut in taxes that finance Social Security and Medicare.

“The Democrats have stated strongly that they won’t approve a Payroll Tax Cut (too bad!). It would be great for workers. The Republicans, therefore, didn’t want to ask for it,” Trump contended.

“The president is very focused on getting money quickly to workers right now, and the payroll tax takes time,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said at the Capitol. Only Sunday, Trump said in a Fox News interview that “I would consider not signing it if we don’t have a payroll tax cut.”

The long-delayed legislation comes amid alarming new cases in the virus crisis. It was originally to be released Thursday morning by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But the Kentucky Republican instead hosted an unscheduled meeting with Mnuchin and White House acting chief of staff Mark Meadows and delayed the planned release of the proposal until next week.

The rocky developments coincide with a higher-profile role

by Meadows, a former tea party lawmaker from North Carolina with a thin legislative resume.

The delays increase the chances that efforts to pass the COVID rescue, the fifth coronavirus response bill this year, could drag well into August as both parties are formally nominating their presidential candidates.

Mnuchin claimed there was “fundamental agreement” on the GOP side, but irritation was growing among Republicans with the Trump negotiating team, which floated the idea of breaking off a smaller bill that would be limited to maintaining some jobless benefits and speeding aid to schools. Democrats immediately panned that idea, saying it would strand other important elements such as aid to state and local governments.

“We cannot piecemeal this,” declared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California.

As a practical matter, Democrats say, the only way to prevent

a cutoff of the pandemic jobless benefit next month is to simply extend it in full, at least in the short term. Balky and ancient state unemployment systems can’t be adjusted in time to immediately implement a new compromise.

“Due to ancient technology, states need between one and four weeks to adjust the $600 boost.

At this late hour, the only option to guarantee benefits do not lapse is the Democratic plan to extend the $600 weekly benefit,” said top Finance Committee Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon.

“Republicans rejected that plan outright. They were never serious about preventing a lapse in benefits.”

McConnell scrapped a choreographed rollout that would have featured Republicans with tough reelection races claiming credit for provisions like a $15 billion appropriation for child care assistance for parents trying to go back to work while many schools

Trump calls off Florida segment of GOP National Convention WASHINGTON (AP) — Bowing to the coronavirus threat, President Donald Trump has scrapped plans for a four-night Republican National Convention celebration in Florida that had been set to draw more than 10,000 people to a pandemic hot spot to mark his renomination.

Trump had already moved the convention’s public events out of North Carolina because of virus concerns. But the spiking virus shifted to the South, too, and the planned gathering in Jacksonville increasingly appeared to be both a health and political risk. Trump and his advisers feared that going forward with big parties and “infomercial” programming in Florida would ultimately backfire on the president.

“It’s a different world, and it will be for a little while,” Trump said, explaining his decision at a Thursday White House coronavirus briefing. “To have a big convention is not the right time.”

A small subset of GOP delegates will still formally renominate Trump on Aug. 24 in Charlotte, North Carolina, at an event scheduled to last just four hours.

Trump had decided last month to shift the ceremonial portions of the GOP convention to Florida because of a dispute with North Carolina’s Democratic leaders over holding an indoor gathering with throngs of supporters taking a pass on face masks.

But his plans for a grand gathering in Florida started shrinking almost as

quickly as the move was announced, as virus cases spiked in the state and other parts of the country.

Trump said he plans to deliver his nomination acceptance speech in an alternate form still to be determined — perhaps online. Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said the campaign will still “provide exciting, informative, and enthusiastic programming so Republicans can celebrate the re-nomination of President Trump and Vice President Pence.”

Trump said thousands of his supporters and delegates wanted to attend the events in Florida but “I just felt it was wrong” to gather them in a virus hot spot.

Some of them would have faced quarantine requirements when they returned to their home states from the convention.

“We didn’t want to take any chances,” he added.

“We have to be vigilant. We have to be careful, and we have to set an example.”

Democrats will hold an almost entirely virtual convention Aug. 17-20 in Milwaukee using live broadcasts and online streaming, according to party officials.

Joe Biden plans to accept the presidential nomination in person, but it remains to be seen whether there will be a significant in-person audience.

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to messages Thursday seeking comment on Trump’s announcement.

In recent weeks, Trump aides and allies have encouraged the president to consider calling off the

convention, arguing it was not worth going forward with the event if the focus would be on the pandemic.

Trump acknowledged that consideration, saying, “I could see the media saying, ‘Oh, this is very unsafe.’”

After a three-month hiatus, Trump has stepped back to the forefront of the government’s handling of the virus with regular briefings aiming to stanch an erosion of support in public and private polls that has followed the surge in new virus cases.

Trump said he did not cancel the convention events at the request of local officials, but the Jacksonville City Council was set to meet Friday to discuss safety concerns around the gathering.

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, a former chair of the Florida Republican Party, said he appreciated Trump “putting health and public safety first.”

“I know this was a difficult decision and just demonstrates and reaffirms once again his commitment to Jacksonville, the state of Florida and the people of the United States of America,” he said. “I’m grateful for him and his leadership, and this was the right way to move forward.”

Joe Gruters, current chair of the Florida Republican Party and a state senator from Sarasota, called it a “selfless move.”

“Having our home-state candidate was going to be a really big deal for Florida, but listen, he had it right,” Gruters said. “At the end of the day, it’s about safety.”

Former Trump lawyer released from prison again NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer was released Friday after a judge ruled that he had been sent back to prison from home confinement as retaliation for his plan to release a book critical of Trump before November’s election.

Michael Cohen walked out of a federal prison in New York on Friday afternoon, his lawyer Danya Perry told The Associated Press, a day after U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein ruled that his First Amendment rights were violated when he was ordered back to prison on July 9.

Probation authorities said Cohen was sent back to prison because he refused to sign a form banning him from publishing the book or communicating with the media or public, Hellerstein said during a telephone conference.

Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 after pleading guilty to campaign finance charges and lying to Congress, among other crimes.

The campaign finance charges stemmed from his efforts to arrange payouts during the 2016 presidential race to keep the porn actress Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal from making public claims of extramarital affairs with Trump. Trump has denied the affairs.

Cohen was released to home confinement in his New York City apartment in May as authorities tried to slow the spread of the coronavirus in

people were expected in Jacksonville — already a fraction of the number that would typically attend a nominating convention.

Only 336 delegates will be allowed to participate in Charlotte under extraordinary procedures approved last month by the Republican National Committee.

The balance of the more than 2,500 delegates will vote by proxy.

Cory Burkarth, a spokesperson for the city of Charlotte, said Thursday, “We have an agreement in place with the Republican National Committee to host a substantially scaled down business meeting and that is what we are planning to do.”

The RNC had raised more than $35 million in contributions earmarked for the convention since 2017, according to an analysis of campaign finance disclosures by The Associated Press. The list of donors to the now-canceled event reads like a who’s who of industry titans, power brokers and wealthy Republicans.

The RNC’s convention committee had spent $9.5 million through June.

But that doesn’t take into account the spending of the local host committee, which pledged to raise $70 million.

The Charlotte City Council voted in April to accept a $50 million federal grant for convention security. City Attorney Patrick Baker said the city had spent $14 million prepping for the convention but expected Charlotte to get reimbursed through the grant.

federal prisons.

Taking him back to the federal prison camp in Otisville, New York, earlier this month was clearly meant to punish him for his plan to publish his book, titled, “Disloyal: The True Story of Michael Cohen, Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump,” Hellerstein said.

“How can I take any other inference than that it’s retaliatory?” Hellerstein asked prosecutors, who insisted in court papers and again Thursday that Probation Department officers did not know about the book when they wrote a provision of home confinement that severely restricted Cohen’s public communications.

“I’ve never seen such a clause in 21 years of being a judge and sentencing people and looking at terms of supervised release,” the judge said.

“Why would the Bureau of Prisons ask for something like this ... unless there was a retaliatory purpose?”

Cohen, 53, had sued federal prison officials and U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Monday, saying he was ordered back to prison because of the book.

The Bureau of Prisons responded after Hellerstein’s ruling Thursday, saying any assertion that the reimprisonment of Cohen “was a retaliatory action is patently false.”

It said the terms of his home confinement were determined by the U.S. Probation Office, which is run by the courts, rather than the bureau.

will remain closed this fall.

McConnell now says the rollout won’t come out until next week.

“Our Republican colleagues have been so divided, so disorganized and so unprepared that they have to struggle to draft even a partisan proposal within their own conference,” said Democratic leader Chuck Schumer.

The must-have centerpiece for McConnell is a liability shield to protect businesses, schools and others from coronavirus-related lawsuits.

The still-unreleased GOP measure does forge an immediate agreement with Democrats on another round of $1,200 checks to most adults.

The $600 weekly unemployment benefit boost that is expiring Friday would be cut back, and Mnuchin said it would ultimately be redesigned to provide a typical worker 70% of his or her income.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Keep personal information secret. Take an intelligent approach when dealing with seniors and children.

Heartfelt discussions will get you further than forcing your will on others.

Nature Guide Journal: Celebrating 20 years

Life cycle in nature: A silver-spotted tiger moth (Lophocampa argentata) caterpillar and cocoon, right, pictured on June 3, 2020. At least one of the caterpillars photographed for the last issue of the Nature Guide Journal emerged from its cocoon and was freed on July 14.

500 columns and counting MARTY GILES

Wavecrest Discoveries

COOS BAY — The first “Nature Guide Journal” ran in the July 13, 2000, edition of The World — two decades ago. The topic: “upwelling,” the process through which our north summer winds drive surface seawater off shore and colder water from the depths wells up to take its place.

With a few skipped weeks to accommodate changes in publication dates or lack of space, my fortnightly publication has numbered over 500 columns. Over the years, some important and timely topics have been repeated with updates and upgrades.

In case you’re wondering: No, I don’t carry all that stuff in my head. With very few exceptions, each column involves considerable research to double-check what I think I know and to explore other angles or new information.

(And, yes, I always cite any information that’s not well-accepted, common knowledge in the appropriate field of study.) Sadly, sometimes new information evaporates as soon as I click “send.”

My favorite columns?

I’m particularly fond of big ideas, profound processes, and the overlooked. And a few columns I particularly like just because they seem to gel nicely, with the right balance of big idea

and vivid detail.

It’s hard to choose, but I’d say these topics are among my favorites (in no particular order): sea colors, singing dunes, aerial plankton, the life of a dead tree, rain/raindrops, tardigrades, sidewalk gardens, viruses, the moon, bats, fractals, fallen leaves, tafoni, moose, unkempt lawns, science.

What have I learned over the past two decades?

I learn something about nature with every column I write, unearthing updates and correcting misunderstandings, as well as discovering fresh information.

I’ve learned other things, too: • People love birds. And just about everyone has their own

crow story.

• People like images. When possible, I will send a photo I’ve taken to support the column, or I’ll suggest an online image for the newspaper staff to use or will make suggestions on what kind of image I think would work well. The photo or graphic is always more attention-grabbing than the headline, and, as clear as I try to be in my written descrip-

tions, adding an image is better than my words alone.

• It is, indeed, harder to write shorter than it is to write longer.

I aim for 600 words — which isn’t really a lot of space when trying to present a complex idea or fascinating thing with enough detail to make it understandable and meaningful.

Chess Federation is now going to transition to the online environment for national events.

Last week, Joshua Grabinsky was invited to the Denker National Tournament of High School State Champions which will be played online July 25-26.

The Oregon Chess Federation used his USCF rating to determine eligibility as one of the highest-rated high school chess players. He is also the Oregon state co-champion of all ages determined during the February Oregon State Championship tournament. He will be the single Oregon high school representative for this prestigious Denker National Tournament.

The Denker Tournament goals and core values are that every chess player in grades 9-12 have the opportunity to qualify for this event. Only the top player of each state is invited, providing recognition for their acheivement in their state. It provides an opportunity to prove they are the best in the country and opens the door for other opportunities for them. The winner of the tournament will qualify for the U.S.

Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships and win a large cash prize.

As the United States Chess Federation transforms to this new environment, Joshua will be required to attend a training session via zoom the weekend before the event and demonstrate that his cameras can monitor his room and his computer area. Games will be monitored to make sure computers are not used to cheat.

He will be playing a total of four games per day, each round allocated up to 3.5 hours of playing time. The hardest part will be the transition back to slow chess as most online tournaments are fast.

Good luck Joshua Grabinsky!

He is our smalltown surprise at this national event.

Coquille chess standouot Joshua Grabinsky has qualified for the high school national championship tournament this weekend. The event will be held online.

COQUILLE — COVID-19 messed up sports but chess competitions are rebuilding with tournaments now on the Internet.

It is much tougher as chess now requires visualizing boards in 2D rather than 3D, requires technology to support wi-fi, zoom meetings and chess.com.

Now mistakes include accidental mouse drops of pieces. Cheating is much harder to regulate.

Coquille chess players have been learning to negotiate these technological challenges and still have fun playing chess.

Coquille Chess Club and some weekend chess tournaments have been via Zoom and chess. com. The Smalltowners (Coquille Chess Clubs and Friends) have been participating in the 2020 Worldwide Chess Leagues, playing college and club teams from all over the world weekly to improve chess skills. There were cancellations of state and national events since COVID-19 reared its ugly head in March, but apparently the United States

The Chamber Minute: Be part of the flock

TIMM SLATER Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

When I first ran for City Council, many

years ago, I was looking for a way to convey the commitment and energy I thought a councilor should have.

While looking through a local antique store, I found an early 1940s book on the “Little Red Hen.” As you recall, she found some wheat grains. She then asked for help in planting, tending, harvesting, processing and baking the product. But she found no one was interested in

working to get the prize — warm fresh bread.

So she did it herself and made a difference. That’s the attitude of success.

Your Bay Area Chamber has a whole flock of little red hens and roosters. We are truly benefiting by the “mountains of bread” they are producing. The Legislative Action Team, active and successful in prior sessions, actively participated in the 2019 and 2020 legislative sessions

to promote business and community. That included twice-monthly video conferences, use of the VoterVoice system and building a strong working relationship with our legislators.

Through Leadership Coos, in its 31st year, participants gained a comprehensive awareness of our area, its businesses and services available, as they prepare for new opportunities as community

leaders. The Ambassadors were increasingly visible at new business openings and hosting those wonderful Business after Hours each month. The Marketing team maintains an active social media program and has developed content and formats for communication among members and local outreach.

That’s just a snapshot of the many, many active committees and services

your chamber has going on right now. If you haven’t found a place to plant your seeds to make a difference, why not check us out today?

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

Fishing is good at Port Orford Catches in calm weather good off that port The fish taken by truck to Bandon, iced at Coquille, shipped to Reedsport M.J. Zumwalt, who is in the city today, has charge of a number of fishing boats which are operating off Port Orford. Seven boats have been deep-sea fishing off that harbor. The old cold storage plant is used as a fish house. The fish are packed and carried in auto trucks to Bandon and sent to Coquille where they are iced and shipped to Reedsport and there handled by the Reedsport Fish company for shipment outside.

Salmon, halibut, cod and other varieties are caught, as the Reedsport company ships many different varieties to the big markets. In calm weather the boats make bit catches.

Survey: Bandon residents favor school bond

By Patti Richter Staff Writer The Bandon Tigers Track & Field Facilities Development Corporation Committee and Bandon School District officials are pleased at the response to a request for opinions on improving district athletic facilities.

The nonprofit committee distributed hundreds of surveys about 10 days ago asking for local residents’ opinion on the proposed bond measure. About 200 surveys were returned.

Residents were asked to make comments about the $3 million proposal for a new eight-lane track to be built between the high school gym and a new grandstand for football and track; a new football field; and new fields for softball and baseball across from the new facility; an 18,000to 20,000-square-foot expansion of the high school gym; a covered play area for students at Ocean Crest Elementary School; and various sidewalk and parking improvements at the high school and elementary school.

The nine-year bond would cost 95 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. The district is also looking into the possibility of lengthening the number of years voters would have to pay on the bond, he added.

A 20-year bond would cost taxpayers about 66 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

May mean new development Weyerhauser timber might be developed, it is said Purchase here by Edward Hines could mean the coming of another railroad Men who are in a position to know, say that if Edward Hines, the Chicago lumberman, makes a deal with the Buehner Lumber company, resulting in the acquiring of the Coos Bay property, it will mean a good deal for this locality in the way of added development.

Mr. hines is a big lumberman, and in some of his operations is associated with the Weyerhauser interests. He is president of the Virginia-Rainy Lake Lumber company, at Virginia, Minn., and he and the Weyerhauser interests own the concern.

The Weyerhauser interests have timber holdings in Coos County and it is suggested that if Hines buys the Buehner Lumber company holdings and mills that it might mean that the Weyerhauser timber will also be cut and manufactured along with what might be purchased by Hines.

It is also suggested that if Weyerhauser interests should start to operate here that it may mean that the Northern Pacific railroad will look to Coos Bay as a point to be developed and that the deal may lead to this place getting another railroad.

It is contemplated to develop model forty-acre farms and sell to actual settlers. The option runs three years, and

The contract with Tetra Tech/KCM, Inc., is partially funded by a port planning and marketing grant. Additional funds are from a $10,000 special public works fund grant and a $20,000 special public works fund loan from the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department, according to Linda Noel, Port of Umpqua manager.

the price is reported to be $135 per acre.

The farms will demonstrate Coos County possibilities in agriculture.

Coal deals are reported Purchases made in the Beaver Hill district Belief is that coal rights were taken over the Southern Pacific Ry. Co. Several deals for coal lands in the neighborhood of Beaver Hill have been closed, and some others are pending, according to news which has leaked out. It appears that the deals were made quietly and without any announcement of the fact.

The purchaser was D.W. Johnston of San Francisco, but it is believed that he has been buying for the Southern Pacific, which owns the Beaver Hill mine. The Merchant Land is understood to have sold the coal rights under 270 acres of land in the Beaver Hill district and the surface land over 170 acres of the tract. Since, other purchases in the same neighborhood have been negotiated.

50 YEARS — 1970 Airplane lands on CB Central Dock; ‘Emergency’ There was something more than lumber on Central Dock in Coos Bay Wednesday afternoon … and it wasn’t paperboard.

A small airplane showed up on the dock just before 5 p.m., following what a spokesman for the dock said was an “emergency landing.”

Eyewitnesses said the plane stayed on the dock only a few minutes before taking off.

Most MHS graduates to continue education Well over half of the members of Marshfield High School’s 1970 graduating class of 403 plan to continue their formal education, either at college or a school offering specialized training, a survey discloses.

The survey has been conducted annually for a number of years by the guidance and counseling office directed by Donald Bunyard.

Although the returns were not 100 per cent, the 356 of 403 questionnaires — 88 per cent — turned in are deemed sufficient to provide a good cross-section of plans and aspirations of the Class of ’70, Bunyard said.

Altogether, 207 graduates plan to go to college or a school for specialized training, the summary discloses. The number

represents 58 percent of the 356 seniors who answered the questionnaire.

Southwestern Oregon Community College was the choise of 119 graduates to continue their education. Ten more listed other two-year community colleges in the state.

Timber Babe Ruthers win crown, Stanton selected most valuable GRANTS PASS — Timber team No. 1 captured the Southwestern Oregon District II Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament championship at Mark Brandt Memorial Field in Grants Pass Wednesday with a rousing 14-3 victory over Roseburg No. 2.

The local Babe Ruth all-stars pounded 13 hits while scoring in every inning to capture the crown; and now advance to the Oregon State Babe Ruth Tournament July 30 in Pendleton.

Timber’s Jeff Stanton was named the tourney’s Most Valuable Player on a unanimous ballot after the Coos Bay youth slugged two homeruns, batted 12-for-24, drove home 12 runs and tossed a no-hitter. His homerun in Wednesday’s tilt was described as the “longest ball ever hit at Brandt Field” as it cleared the 375-foot mark in dead center.

Stanton, Gordy Groshong at shortstop and Scott Mooney at catcher were named to the 13-man all-star team in the tournament.

DA drops charges in cockfighting bust Settlement: Parties reach an undisclosed settlement out of court

By Andrew Sirocchii Staff Writer Twenty-eight people cited at a cockfighting event near Myrtle Point in April settled out of court with the Coos County District Attorney’s Office in exchange for the dismissal of charges of being involved in animal fighting.

Deputy District Attorney Ladd Wiles said the parties reached a settlement with those sited but declined to specify the details of the arrangement. The 27 men and one woman were represented by Coos Bay attorney Steve Plinski and Wiles said the parties came to an understanding not to discuss the settlement.

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

20 YEARS — 2000 Island dreams: Reedsport counts on Bolon

By Janet Fitzgerald Staff Writer REEDSPORT — The economic hopes of this small South Coast community hinge on ta 144-acre island in the confluence of the Umpqua and Smith rivers, according to Douglas County Commissioner Doug Robertson, whose district includes the coastal area.

“Industrial development of Bolon Island is the key step toward economic progress in the lower Umpqua area,” he said.

Last week, Bolon Island development moved forward with the selection of a Portland firm to produce a master plan for the industrial property located just outside the city of Reedsport.

Tetra Tech/KCM, Inc., was awarded a $53,000 contract by the Port of Umpqua to develop the plan, which must include a site analysis, wetlands inventory and engineering cost estimate. Two Coos Bay firms, H.G.E. and Stuntzner Engineering

Charlie Walker featured at Country Gospel Jubilee The World NORTH BEND — The monthly Country Gospel Jubilee concert will be held at 3 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 2, at Shoreline Community Church, 1251 Clark St. North Bend, hosted by Tom and Debbie Trammel.

Singer/songwriter Charlie Walker will be

the featured performer. The concert will be held outside on church grounds. Bring your favorite lawn chair.

Kentucky born Walker is one of the Pacific Northwest’s top Christian Country artists.

Residing in Prineville, he brings an honest and gentle simplicity to the stage that strikes a chord.

“From life experiences come stories and songs that people relate to, reminding everyone that God loves us and wants to be part of our everyday lives,” said a concert organizer.

This event is open to the public at no charge.

Directions: from U.S. Highway 101, take Newmark, turn right on Brussels, left on Lewis,

then left to church. For more information, call Tom Trammel at 541521-9596 or visit www. shorelinecc.us.

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

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

The following are cats of the week available for adoption at Kohl’s Cat House: Roger is a very nice bunny. He needs a good home of his own. He is glad to be rescued even if he is in a house full of cats.

Jenny is a beautiful adult female. She has had some problems but is better now and ready for her

own home. She has lots of love to give.

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

Patience will be the best thing they can be given — patience to settle in and get used to new surroundings before cozying up to their new human companion. This cannot be stressed enough. Only time will tell if they will fit into their new situation when they are adopted. It really is no different for human kids. Patience goes such a long way to benefit all involved!

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