Boundaries limit students JILLIAN WARD The World

COOS BAY — Not every student from Blossom Gulch Elementary will be transferred to the new Eastside School in the fall. The new elementary school is slated to be completed this summer, built with part of the $59.9 million Coos Bay BEST Bond approved by voters in 2017. Its main reason for construction was to get students out of Blossom Gulch Elementary, which is sinking little by little every year and causing major structural issues. At the end of the current academic school year, Blossom Gulch was home to 600 students

from kindergarten through third grade. However, Eastside will only be able to house around 380 students, said Bryan Trendell, superintendent of the Coos Bay School District. The remaining students will be sent to Madison Elementary in Empire. Meanwhile, all third graders will either go to Millicoma School, situated next to Eastside, or to Sunset School near Madison Elementary. “We already had boundaries for Sunset and Millicoma (schools),” Trendell said, referring to lines in the district that determine which buildings children attend. He explained that in the past,

after students moved on from Blossom Gulch, some would go to Millicoma and a few always went to Sunset due to that boundary being different than the elementary school boundaries. “Now we are essentially two campuses on either side of town,” he said. Because third graders will no longer be in the district’s elementary schools after this year, Trendell estimates that roughly 75 students from Blossom Gulch will move on to Madison Elementary in the fall. Meanwhile, Eastside will open with 380 students from Blossom Gulch.

days of letting Coos Health and Wellness know what was going on. Meanwhile, the most recent positive case came in last week for an individual who was showing symptoms around two months ago. “We’re a little too soon to know about our most recent case. His other health conditions are probably going to make answering that question very problematic,” said Leon. According to the Oregon Health Authority, three cases in Coos County have recovered.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An estimated 2.1 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week despite the gradual reopening of businesses around the country, bringing the running total since the coronavirus shutdowns took hold in mid-March to about 41 million, the government said Thursday. The figures underscored the continuing damage to businesses and livelihoods from the outbreak that has now killed at least 100,000 people in the U.S., more than the number of Americans lost in the Vietnam and Korean wars combined, and more than 33 times the death toll on 9/11. The U.S. unemployment rate was 14.7% in April, the highest since the Great Depression, and many economists expect it will near 20% in May. First-time applications for unemployment, though still extraordinarily high, have fallen for eight straight weeks, and states are gradually letting stores, restaurants, salons, gyms and other businesses reopen. But other employers are still laying off workers in the face of a deep recession. Elsewhere around the world, India saw another record daily jump in coronavirus cases, while Russia reported a steady increase in its caseload, even as the city of Moscow and provinces across the vast country moved to ease restrictions in sync with the Kremlin’s political agenda. India, home to more than 1.3 billion people, reported more than 6,500 new infections, bringing the nation’s total to over 158,000. The spike comes as the nation’s 2-month-old lockdown is set to end Sunday. The country has recorded over 4,500 deaths. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is preparing guidelines to be issued this weekend, possibly extending the lockdown in hard-hit areas. Earlier this month, the country allowed the reopening of shops and factories and the resumption

The 34th annual Holiday Lights at Shore Acres in Coos Bay is canceled. The Friends of Shore Acres made the announcement Wednesday that the cancelation was due to the uncertainty of the pandemic.

Coronavirus cases on track to recover Locals with COVID-19 report feeling better, according to CHW ZACH SILVA The World

COOS COUNTY — Community members who contracted COVID-19 are showing signs of improvement and are on the path to recovery. There have been 29 positive COVID-19 cases throughout Coos County, in addition to two presumptive positives. There

have been 25 cases in adults in custody at Shutter Creek Correctional Institution. Those individuals have been removed from the county and the status of their recovery is unclear. The remaining cases include two positive cases from employees at Shutter Creek, in addition to a presumptive positive for an employee at the facility. There has also been a woman who contracted the disease separate of Shutter Creek and her husband was considered presumptive positive. These individuals have been

Youth program back on track after setbacks AMANDA LINARES The World

COOS BAY — A local youth construction crew is back to work this week after COVID-19 restrictions and an unexpected fire halted their operations earlier in the month. The youth program, which is an entry-level construction program managed by the South Coast Workforce Investment Board and the South Coast Business Employment Corporation, was forced to temporarily stop its operations after facing a number of setbacks. In March, the program stopped its construction, which involved building fully-floored garden sheds, as the COVID-19

pandemic unfolded locally and forced its students to remain at home to practice new social distancing rules. Chelsea Corliss, the workforce program manager for SCBEC, said program officials worked quickly on ways its students could return to work safely and in compliance with the state’s new COVID-19 guidelines. A plan was developed earlier this month, but an unexpected fire on one of the program’s shed projects forced another delay for students eager to return back to work. According to Corliss, a small fire broke out inside one of its sheds, which was located in the rear parking lot of SOWIB’s facility,

A group of students from a youth construction program in Coos Bay work on building a shed. other construction-related skills. On Tuesday, May 26, students returned to work and removed the damaged shed. The students, who were working on building two sheds and restoring another, were saddened to see their project destroyed, but were motivated and determine to keep going, said Corliss. The students will work to rebuild the shed and are

moving forward with the youth program, Corliss added. The program, which consists of five students and a project supervisor, is now looking to acquire additional funding and supplies needed to rebuild the shed and keep the project going, said Corliss. According to Corliss, program officials are still committed to meeting their goals and helping

youth develop valuable job and life skills and will continue to support them in being successful adults. The program, which was originally launched and funded with support from the Associated General Contractors of Oregon, Oregon Youth Corps, SWOIB and Southport Lumber Company, will place its other, remaining shed for sell within the next few months.

on Saturday, May 16. Kyle Stevens, SOWIB’s executive director, said he received a call early Sunday morning from the Coos Bay Fire Department about the fire. According to Stevens, firefighters were able to safely extinguish the fire, but the shed was ruled to be a complete loss. As of now, the cause of the fire is unknown. According to Stevens, the shed was to be placed in an auction later this summer to both showcase the student’s work and to raise funds for the next round of training classes under the new youth construction program. “(The students) know they did a good job” said Stevens in an email, “and no one can take away the skills they developed.” The youth program, which had rolled out for the first time in Coos County earlier this year, teaches young people, who recently graduated high school, about construction. Students in the program learn how to read a construction plan, how to securely attach lumber, sheathing and

ahead of the meeting and their comments will be part of the public record. The meeting will be broadcast via Facebook Live. A discussion of online/ digital curriculum was held at the School Board’s May work session, prior to its regular meeting. School Superintendent Doug Ardiana said staff has been looking into different digital curriculum platforms that could be used going forward, whether or not students are physically in the classrooms. “We’ve seen the need coming and this is the catalyst for doing that,” Ardiana said. Ardiana said the district could save thousands by switching to digital learning versus purchasing textbooks. The model could also accommodate non-traditional Bandon students who are participating in online schooling with other districts. With a new model, to be determined, traditional students could still attend classes in the school buildings, but teachers would implement digital tools to instruct instead of using textbooks. The students who can’t make it to class every day due to illness, travel, because parents may not feel safe sending them there, or other reasons, could make use of the digital learning online. And those students who choose to do 100 percent of their studies online could still be enrolled in the Bandon School District and complete their studies effectively. “We are losing students to Winter Lakes High School and I think this is the perfect time to establish a virtual high school by using this model,” Ardiana said. “Winter Lakes is 100% online —

ours would be different.” Ardiana added that switching to a completely new model would be extra work initally and will change the way the district teaches and students learn. For example, there would still be a science teacher, but using digital materials. Students who didn’t attend some or all classes could still do the work with that teacher because the lesson would be recorded and materials would be available online. Student assessments would be based on the curriculum. As to the union’s opinion, the Bandon Educational Association wants to ensure there is no reduction in teaching staff. Ardiana said the BEA has been meeting to work on details of the digital curriculum idea and will meet with Ardiana to give him more input for the discussion on May 28. “We’ve led the pack during the COVID-19 crisis and school in September is not going to be ‘normal,’” Ardiana said. “There’s been a lot of discussion and talk of doing a softer approach such as Google Classroom, but that’s just a platform, not a curriculum.” Board co-chairman Angela Cardas said there is a certain percentage of parents who will not feel safe sending their children back to class in the fall and they would welcome an online option. “This would also be a way for students to stay in class if they are being asked to be quarantined,” Cardas said. Board member Marie Simonds asked what the possible down sides of such a program would be. “Other than the savings in curriculum (materials),

there might be other staffing concerns and that should be reflected in the budget,” Simonds said. Ardiana said in his opinion the best system would be a Monday-Friday in-person schooling, but using online resources as needed. “I’m not in favor of online curriculum, but (in the fall) we will be limited,” Ardiana said. “For example, there will be no assemblies and we’ll have to have a 6-foot block for each student. It’s going to be a management nightmare in the elementary school. Kids won’t go class-to-class, teachers will come to them.” “I think we need to go to an online curriculum,” Ardiana added. “I don’t know where this is going, and this is just a discussion, but we need to move forward so we can meet the needs of the students.” Ocean Crest Principal Becky Armistead said it will always be important for elementary school children to have a pencil-to-paper element in their learning. “I do not see us plugging kids in all day long. I think the bulk of parents will want to send their kids back to school,” Armistead said. “I don’t see this taking the place of traditional learning, but alternate options are necessary for some kids.” Bandon High School Principal Sabrina Belletti said it’s easer to manage an online component with high schoolers, but having three different systems to deliver learning could be a challenge. “If we do this, it may give more opportunities to our students,” Ardiana said, before getting board agreement to move forward with the discussion.

Wildlife unchanged in the wake of virus The World

COOS BAY — Though life is different for people in Coos County with the advent of the novel coronavirus, local wildlife populations seem unchanged. According to Stuart Love, District Wildlife Biologist for the Oregon Department of Wildlife, there was a slight uptick in wildlife sightings in residential areas in the early days of the stayat-home orders. However, as restrictions lifted, and people became more active, wildlife sightings went back down to normal levels. Early in the pandemic, ODFW heard about sightings of cougar and bear

tracks on the empty beaches. He said this was likely because these animals were exploring food options in the absence of people. Hunting and fishing levels by locals have evened out to normal levels after a slow start to the spring seasons. Restrictions on available camping have lowered the amount of hunting happening in some areas. However, there has been an increase in wildlife viewing in areas like the Coquille Valley Wildlife Area. “We encourage that. It’s a great use of that property in a situation like the one we’re going through right now,” Love said. Love said he did not anticipate changes to levels to

the local fauna. There is little evidence so far, he said, that North American wildlife species can contract or carry the novel coronavirus. There was word that domestic and wild cats might contract the disease, but his office has not seen evidence of this yet. Until there is conclusive proof that they won’t catch the disease from local wildlife, the field workers at ODFW are taking steps to stay safe. They now enforcing rules that workers wear N-95 masks and gloves when handling wild animals. Further, they are less likely to trap animals and move them, as there is a slight potential that the disease could be moved with them.

That said, “By and large, our jobs haven’t changed a lot.” Love suggests that members of the public call ODFW rather than handling wildlife on their own. This way, the animals can be handled in a way that is safe to them and to humans. He does not feel there’s a large risk to handling animals, but says the risk is “probably not zero, either.” That risk is no reason not to enjoy Oregon’s fish and wildlife, though, Love feels. “There’s still more positive than bad. We need to continue to place a high value on that resource. Enjoy hunting and fishing and enjoy viewing wildlife, if that’s what you like to do,”

Bakersfield fugitive captured in Port Orford after manhunt The World PORT ORFORD — A widespread manhunt involving authorities in Oregon and California along with the U.S. Marshal Service was concluded on May 22 around 5 p.m. when Curry County deputies arrested Eric Appoldt, a 41-year-old man from Bakersfield, Calif. According to a press release from the office of Curry County Sheriff John Ward, Appoldt was arrested on a homicide warrant following an incident in Kern County, Calif. last February. His criminal history includes attempted murder, robbery and battery on a peace officer, as well as criminal activity as a Skin-

Eric Appoldt head gang member. Appoldt was found to have family connections in Portland and the Oregon State Police alerted the Curry County Sheriff’s Office to his warrant and potential presence in Oregon. “A Curry County deputy used every resource available to our office to identi-

fy a potential location for Appoldt on Hensley Hill Road in Port Orford,” said Sgt. Jordan White with the Curry County Sheriff’s Office. The deputy worked in cooperation with other deputies and the Oregon State Police to locate and apprehend Appoldt without incident while he was found walking on Hensley Hill Road with an adult female, the press release stated. Appoldt was transported and booked into the Curry County Jail and will be returned to California to faces the charges against him. https://www.kget.com/ most-wanted/goldenempire-most-wantedfeb-13-2020

masks will be distributed statewide, along with 5,000 gallons of hand sanitizer. The hand sanitizer and masks will be split among the various Oregon counties and distributed at 21 locations. To see the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Regarding DMV offices What was the state’s reasoning for shutting down most of the DMV offices, and the ones left open only serviced commercial driver’s licenses? The truckers are not the only essential drivers on the road. My license expired, and I cannot get it renewed until the local DMV opens. My job is an essential one … I drive clients to their doctor’s appointments. Some doctors are still seeing patients, and the pa-

tients have no way to get to their appointments. There are other drivers, but I am without work until I get my license renewed. DMV could have done what a lot of businesses have done … stayed open, and just let a few people at a time in the building so their driving business could have been accomplished. Joyce Clark Coos Bay

ON THIS DAY

GUEST OPINION The Price of a Life Every so often a crisis comes along that forces Americans — especially the nation’s elected governments — to quantify the price of life. Despite the old saw that “you can’t put a price on a human life,” we DO monetize human life and we do so with troubling frequency. This time around the COVID-19 pandemic has “forced” politicians to “choose” between making money and the lives of the old and the sick, and per usual they’ve come down firmly and swiftly on the side of making a buck, of keeping the super rich rich and business interests happy. What is especially venal this time around is that the victims are overwhelmingly members of America’s most precious and vulnerable group — the old. You want numbers? Try these: sometime early this week America will record its 100,000th “official” death from complications arising from this iteration of coronavirus. Of those, 80,000 — a full 80% — will be aged 65 and older (John Hopkins; Bloomberg et al). American politicians - and the business interests that fund their campaigns – have taken the measure of us and have decided that the death of “a few old folk” is an acceptable price to pay to keep the money flowing, and might even be a bargain because, well, it’s just some old folk at the end of their lives. Within the allowable words of a humble letter I have neither the will nor time necessary to fully tell you just how morally bankrupt, how evil, I believe this calculus to be, so as shorthand kindly consider one more number: 43, which is the percentage of Bandon citizens that identify themselves as “retired” (Coos County demographics data). Okay, we old folk get the message: the city has decided that — by God — it’s time to reopen the town, reopen businesses; get the town humming again. In brief, the Coos County Board of Commissioners and the City Council have decided — by God — that the world needs Bandon refrigerator magnets, coffee mugs and scratchy sweatshirts more than life itself, that it absolutely must have access to orders of laughably overpriced fish and chips, and it’s willing to sacrifice “a few old people” to make it happen. Apparently, Bandon wants ¯ MUST have — tourists, tourists and more tourists to pour into town and rent rooms in Bandon hotels that the vast majority of its citizens could never possibly afford (and, no, none of these tourists can be bothered to wear a face mask or properly social distance). Yep, what the world needs, what the world must have to the exclusion of all else, is free and untrammeled access to Bandon-bythe-Sea “stuff,” and its city leaders will gladly sacrifice a few spent old people to keep their business interests afloat. (Did you think it was only a coincidence that, collectively, the members of the county

commissioners and City Council are predominantly business owners?) Yes, Bandon needs, eventually, to return to some new version of normalcy. But this current urgency is tragically wrongheaded and some Bandon people, primarily its elderly, are eventually going to die. With this growing flood of tourism and the percentage of asymptomatic carriers revised upward to 35% do you really think we will keep this virus out of our homes, out of our extended care facilities, out of our nursing homes, forever? Governor Brown has miscalculated; our commissioners and councilors have miscalculated: this is not Salem, Corvallis or Eugene; this is Bandon, Oregon — one of the most spectacularly beautiful places on earth. People are going to come. (Based on the number of Idaho, Washington, Utah and California license plates in the Coquille Point parking lot over Memorial Day weekend, it’s clear that “they” are already here.) It’s only going to take one carrier, perhaps one asymptomatic tourist, to put us old folk at risk And given this relentless onslaught of tourists it is not a matter of “if.” To ameliorate the personal risk as much as we can, my wife and I have decided to strike a purely defensive stance and we would encourage our elderly brothers and sisters to consider one as well: to whit, every tourist is “positive” and doesn’t care whether you live or die; everyone that refuses to wear a mask — if they can’t social distance — is your enemy and should be treated as such; any decision by a politician to mindfully put your life at such direct risk should be considered an act of physical aggression, a physical assault, and the actors should be held accountable at the ballot box. My beloved wife considers this whole sad business as nothing more than — and I quote — “managed death.” I suppose that in the morally stunted minds of most politicians and business titans this managed culling of our seniors is just fine, thank you, but it makes me furious and I for one do not intend to go quietly.

May 28, 1970 Coos Department Heads To Meet, Discuss Space Needs in Bay Area Voter rejection Tuesday of two county construction measures was termed unfortunate by two county officials Thursday who called the defeat “something the county will have to live with.” Responding to the Coos Bay annex and county jail construction measures, County commissioner William Miller and District Attorney Robert Brasch agreed the need for new and permanent facilities for both were bound to become more critical in the near future. Miller and Brasch both agreed finding adequate rental space for county offices in the Bay Area would be difficult. Rental space in Coos Bay and North Bend has been looked at several times over the past two or three years, Miller said. He added the costs for extensive remodeling had

blunted interest at those various times. Marshfield High Teacher Receives Fulbright Grant WASHINGTON, D.C. — Fourth District Congressman John Dellenback today announced that Richard D.

May 28, 2005 Housing authority residents protest smoking ban proposal By Carl Mickelson, For The World Disabled residents and people of low income turned out in large numbers Wednesday to voice opposition to a North Bend City and Coos/Curry County housing authorities’ proposal to ban smoking inside the residences they own and manage. The proposed ban drew sharp criticism, and probing questions from residents and many of the agencies that work with the poor and disabled. “I know I shouldn’t be smoking - it’s stupid. I know that. But that is my decision - or should be,” said Freddie Langston, 46, a resident of Woodland Apartments Preservation in Empire. ----------------------------------These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository store in Marshfield HS courtesy of Coos Bay Schools and on The World newspaper website www. theworldlink.com.

Donald Arthur Button June 28, 1939 – May 22, 2020

Donald Arthur Button was born in North Bend on June 28th, 1939 to Arthur and Goldie (Fields) Button. He lost his battle with cancer on May 22, 2020. Don spent most of his life in Coos County working as a timber faller and log truck driver. He was an extremely hard worker who liked to keep busy. Even in retirement he continued to fall trees and run his myrtle wood sawmill until January of this year. In 1956 Don married his high school sweetheart, Donna DeLore. Much to his parents’ consternation, he bought her ring by selling his saxophone. They had four children together but divorced several years

later. It took quite a few years, but finally while in his 50s, Don found his perfect match, Ruby Neely, who truly changed his life. Their marriage on June 11th, 2005 combined the two existing families into one very large, happy, extended family. Don and Ruby spent 25 happy years together. Don was known for his charming, outgoing, yet laidback personality. He was a friend to everyone and always willing to help. He was also a modern day “Renaissance man”. He held very physical occupations and was so physically fit that he was able to survive several logging and trucking accidents. Yet

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren Wife can’t shake distrust of husband caught in a lie.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are 58 and getting ready to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We knew each other in college, but were just friends back then. After college, we married others and raised children. We stayed married to our spouses for close to 30 years. We reconnected eight years ago, started an affair and divorced our partners. Neither of us is proud of this. My adult children have accepted my husband. His refused to accept me, and only one of them has a relationship with him. He was out of town recently, and I caught him in a lie about having invited a female former colleague to lunch with him. I was shocked and hurt because this is how our relationship started. He has apologized, but I can’t get over the fact he lied to me, and it has caused a rift between us. He has always been honest with me, so I wonder why he lied about this woman. I know I’m in no position to judge others. I can’t afford counseling, and we don’t belong to a church for spiritual help. I suffer from depression and anxiety (I am under the care of a doctor and take medication) but cannot shake the sadness. How can I ever trust my husband again? -- HURTING HEART IN THE MOUNTAINS

Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary

DEAR HURTING HEART: In light of the way your affair with your husband began, he may have lied because he was afraid of upsetting you. A way to start this very necessary conversation would be to tell him how shaken you are that he wasn’t truthful and try to get him to explain why he thought he had to lie. You should also ask if he thinks there is anything awry in your marriage. If he tells you nothing is wrong and there is nothing he would change, believe him. However, if after that, you are still feeling insecure, ask the doctor who is treating your depression and anxiety to suggest some low-cost mental health/ counseling services in your community. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Death toll surpasses 100k SpaceX launch scrubbed HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The U.S. surpassed a jarring milestone Wednesday in the coronavirus pandemic: 100,000 deaths. That number is the best estimate and most assuredly an undercount. But it represents the stark reality that more Americans have died from the virus than from the Vietnam and Korean wars combined. “It’s a striking reminder of how dangerous this virus can be,” said Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy with the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington. The once-unthinkable toll appears to be just the beginning of untold misery in the months ahead as Las Vegas casinos and

Walt Disney World make plans to reopen, crowds of unmasked Americans swarm beaches and public health officials predict a resurgence by fall. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, issued a stern warning after watching video of Memorial Day crowds gathered at a pool party in Missouri. “We have a situation in which you see that type of crowding with no mask and people interacting. That’s not prudent, and that’s inviting a situation that could get out of control,” he said during an interview Wednesday on CNN. “Don’t start leapfrogging some of the recommendations in the

guidelines because that’s really tempting fate and asking for trouble.” Worldwide, the virus has infected more than 5.6 million people and killed over 350,000, with the U.S. having the most confirmed cases and deaths by far, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Europe has recorded about 170,000 deaths, while the U.S. reached more than 100,000 in less than four months. The true death toll from the virus, which emerged in China late last year and was first reported in the U.S. in January, is widely believed to be significantly higher, with experts saying many victims died of COVID-19 without ever being tested for it.

because of bad weather CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The launch of a SpaceX rocket ship with two NASA astronauts on a history-making flight into orbit was called off with less than 17 minutes to go in the countdown Wednesday because of thunderclouds and the risk of lightning. Liftoff was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon. The spacecraft — designed, built and owned by SpaceX — was set to blast off in the afternoon for the International Space Station, opening a new era in commercial spaceflight. It would have also marked the first time in nearly a decade that

the U.S. launched astronauts into orbit from American soil. But thunderstorms for much of the day threatened to force a postponement, and the word finally came down that the atmosphere was so electrically charged that the spacecraft was in danger of getting hit by lightning. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said the agency and SpaceX worked together to “make the right decision” and put safety first at a time when some were wondering whether the public attention surrounding the flight would create undue pressure to launch.

Veteran space shuttle astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken were supposed to ride into orbit aboard SpaceX’s sleek, white-andblack, bullet-shaped Dragon capsule on top of a Falcon 9 rocket, taking off from the same launch pad used during the Apollo moon missions a half-century ago. Both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had arrived to watch. Trump, who before the postponement marveled at the “magnificent” rocket on the pad, later tweeted that he will return to Florida for the next try, and the vice president did the same.

Boundaries

next (school) year, the zone will be straight down the middle — an east side and a west side.” Trendell acknowledged that some families will want to be part of the new school in Eastside, with a few having put in for an out-of-zone transfer request. All applications were due May 20 last

week and will be looked at in June. If any meet the transfer criteria, they will be granted. That criteria includes educational or medical reasons for the transfer. “There will be some disappointed families that wanted to go to the new school in the fall who are in the west side, but we

can’t overload Eastside and Millicoma with kids,” he said. “There is a capacity and so we will do our best to maintain that. There are great things on the west side too. I recognize the new school is a shiny new object drawing everyone’s attention, but it’s not built to accommodate everyone at Blossom Gulch.”

On Wednesday morning, Trendell visited the Eastside School construction site to help make decisions regarding flooring in the common area and in some first floor classrooms. “Eastside is going along on schedule and looking good,” he said of the visit. “We’re anxious to get the keys turned

over to us in the middle of summer and get furniture moved into classrooms. ... There might be some folks that are maybe thinking they were going to Eastside because they were already at Blossom Gulch, but that’s not going to happen. The new boundary had to be drawn.”

fever and an improvement in other symptoms. An individual who never showed symptoms is considered to be recovered 10 days after their positive test. There is also a test-based recovery which means someone has been without fever, other

symptoms have improved and they have had recorded two negative tests 24 hours apart. “Local authorities are not discussing recovered cases in the same way the state is discussing recovered cases,” Leon said of

Coos Health and Wellness’s role in the process. “We’re not even involved in asking the questions necessary for the state to determine whether or not someone is recovered.” After recovery, OHA has guidelines of physi-

cal distancing that mirror guidelines for individuals across the state. “Remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet) from others to the greatest

extent possible,” OHA states in its guidelines. “Social distancing measures reduce opportunities for person-to-person virus transmission and can help slow the spread of the disease, as well as save lives.”

South Korea on Thursday reported its biggest jump in coronavirus cases in more than 50 days, a setback that could erase some of the hard-won gains that have made it a model for the rest of the world. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin announced earlier this week that the country’s postponed Victory Day military parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Nazi defeat in World War II will be held June 24, declaring the nation has passed the peak of the outbreak. Russian media reported that the Kremlin now also plans to go ahead with another high-priority item on Putin’s political agenda

— a referendum on constitutional amendments that could allow him to remain in power through 2036. He postponed the vote in April because of the outbreak. The government reported more than 8,300 new infections Thursday, down from more than 11,000 earlier this month. The total number of infections topped 379,000, the world’s third-largest caseload behind that of the United States and Brazil. Russian officials reported 174 new deaths, for a total of almost 4,150. Some Kremlin critics allege that the relatively low mortality rate reflects manipulation by authorities trying to set a positive environment for the parade

and the constitutional vote. Russian officials have angrily rejected the allegations. Moscow, which accounted for about half of all infections, ordered an easing of the tight lockdown in place since late March, saying that nonfood stores, dry cleaners and repair shops can reopen on Monday. The mayor also announced that residents will be allowed to walk in the parks with some restrictions and engage in sports in the mornings. Across the vast country, numerous provinces already have eased the lockdowns. In the U.S., Las Vegas casinos and Walt Disney

World have made plans to reopen, and crowds of unmasked Americans are expected to swarm beaches over the summer months. Public health officials predict a resurgence by fall. Despite the risks, the pressure for easing restrictions has risen across the globe as the economic pain has worsened. French unemployment claims jumped 22% in April, as 843,000 more people sought work and the virus lockdown prevented companies from hiring. The jobless ranks in France don’t include 8 million people who received paycheck subsidies from the government. Worldwide, the virus has infected more than 5.7

million people and killed over 355,000, with the U.S. having the most confirmed cases and deaths, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Europe has recorded about 170,000 deaths. The true death toll from the virus is widely believed to be significantly higher, with experts saying many victims died without ever being tested. Some nations are seeing improvements. New cases in Spain and Italy have fallen steadily for two months. China reported just two new cases on Thursday, both from abroad. New Zealand has reported no new cases for six days and has just eight active cases remaining.

Meanwhile, India’s top court ordered state authorities to provide free train rides and proper food and water to hundreds of thousands of poor migrant workers returning to their villages in the blazing heat after being thrown out of work in the cities and towns. TV images have shown desperate and hungry migrants looting food carts at train stations, and at least four people have died on the trains this week as daytime temperatures climbed to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

Baseball players oppose MLB salary proposal NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball players appeared likely to propose more regular-season games this year while holding to their demand for full prorated salaries, people familiar with their deliberations told The Associated Press. Washington pitcher Max Scherzer, among eight players on the union’s executive subcommittee, issued a statement late Wednesday night calling management’s proposal for more

salary cuts a non-starter. A day after Major League Baseball proposed a sliding scale of salary slashing for a pandemic-delayed season with an 82-game schedule in ballparks without fans, the union held a conference call Wednesday that included its executive board, player representatives and alternate player representatives, the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because

no details were announced. Scherzer, among the sport’s highest-paid players, confirmed the call without divulging who was on it. “After discussing the latest developments with the rest of the players there’s no need to engage with MLB in any further compensation reductions,” he said in a statement posted to Twitter. “We have previously negotiated a pay cut in the version of

prorated salaries, and there’s no justification to accept a 2nd pay cut based upon the current information the union has received.” “I’m glad to hear other players voicing the same viewpoint,” he added, “and believe MLB’s economic strategy would completely change if all documentation were to become public information.” It was unclear when the union will respond to MLB’s plan, the people said.

Changing course: Howard sets sites on OSU JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — At the start of the year, everything was looking great for Chelsea Howard. The North Bend senior had signed a letter of intent to compete in track and field for Concordia University and her offseason training was going great as she looked ahead to adding to her collection of individual state titles and improving her school records in the long jump and triple jump. The state meet would have been last weekend, but like all the spring sports track and field was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. That was only part of a trying spring for Howard. Earlier this year, Concordia announced that it was closing and suddenly she was without a college. Though the sting of missing out on her senior track season is still present, Howard at least has something to look forward to with her new plans to join the track team at Oregon State University in the fall. She had considered both OSU and Western Oregon University, and visited each school. “Even though I thought a school being bigger might not be a good fit for me, it felt nice,” she said of the Corvallis campus. “The coach is super nice and the girls are really nice.” Throw in the stellar facilities of an NCAA Division-I school and the one-on-one coaching and Howard is excited about the possibilities. “It just felt that was where I needed to go and compete,” she said. “I will obviously be competing against people who are crazy good athletes.” Howard brings an impressive resume to Corvallis. She won state titles in the long jump as a sophomore and junior for North Bend, and added the triple jump title last spring. Add in placing at state in the 100 as a sophomore (seventh) and junior (eighth) and placing in the long jump as a freshman (seventh) and triple jump as a sophomore (eighth) and she has a nice collection of Oregon School Activities Association medals. Her high school bests include 12.28 seconds in the 100 (just .04 off the school record), 26.31 in the 200, 18 feet, 4 inches in the long jump and 37-11 in the triple jump. She improved her lifetime best last summer in the long jump to 18-5 ¾ during the Junior Olympics season. She also was a volleyball standout for the Bulldogs, but track and field has been her love and she will always be curious what could have been this spring. “I was definitely looking at being a three-time long jump state champion,” she said.

Sports Briefs BASKETBALL Hall of Fame ceremony will be pushed to 2021 SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Basketball Hall of Fame chairman Jerry Colangelo told ESPN that the enshrinement ceremony for Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and five others will be delayed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The ceremony was to have taken place in Springfield on Aug. 29. Colangelo told ESPN that the event will be moved until the spring of 2021. Colangelo did not respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press. There was no immediate announcement from the Hall of Fame about the rescheduling plan.

BASEBALL Former Atlanta catcher Biff Pocoroba dies ATLANTA — Former Atlanta catcher Biff Pocoroba, who played in the 1978 All-Star Game and was a backup on the Braves team that won an improbable NL West title in 1982, has died at age 66. Tom Wages Funeral Services in suburban Snellville confirmed that Pocoroba died Sunday. No cause of death was given. Pocoroba spent his entire 10year career with the Braves, first joining the team for 67 games in 1975. His best season came in 1977, when he batted .290 with eight homers and 44 RBIs in 113 games.

North Bend senior Chelsea Howard plans to compete in track and field for Oregon State University after her previous choice, Concordia, announced it was closing. She envisioned getting close to 19 feet in that event and close to 39 feet in the triple jump, an event that she didn’t fully practice until last spring. She also anticipated her time dropping in the 100 meters, especially given her preparation before the season was called off a week before the first meet. “It was definitely a lot of training up until season,” she said. “That was also the part that was disappointing. “A lot of people don’t train until track. I had been training all summer and fall. That was pretty rough.” At first, the news was devastating. “There were a lot of times where it was just a whiny type of moment,” she said. “It took a while before I finally accepted that I know a lot of other people are going through the same thing and I am just going to have to compete the next year and keep as in shape as I can through this

whole thing.” To that end, Howard has been turning to new methods with the high school facilities closed and no place to practice jumping. “I have been doing Youtube workouts and going for runs around town, which is new because I’m a sprinter and I don’t usually go for runs,” she said. The family dog has become her running partner, which she said has been nice. Just like the spring sports season being canceled, hearing about Concordia’s closure was a huge letdown. She has fallen quickly for the Portland school and the idea of competing at a lower level. “I had a mental breakdown,” she said, adding that she had committed mentally to studying in Portland for the next four years. “It was a ‘what now?’ situation,” she said. She reached out to Oregon State — she had met the coach during the Junior Olympics

season last year — and Western Oregon and also visited the University of Idaho, though she said that school was too far away. Oregon State’s coach encouraged her that she would be a good fit, and academically the school started looking better and better. “Oregon State has one of the best science programs in the state, and that’s what I love to do,” Howard said. She plans to study kinesiology and biology with the eventual goal of being a physical therapist. After a rough spring, things are looking up, with a workout schedule expected to arrive next week and the start of on-campus training beginning in the fall in preparation for her first indoor season next winter. “It will be really nice, especially since the team is really small and since it’s only a women’s team,” she said. “We will get a lot of one-on-one coaching. “I’m excited.”

NASCAR race postponed a day because of rain CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Rain washed out the Cup Series race Wednesday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway — a slight break for NASCAR teams taxed by a grueling return to racing. The race was rescheduled for Thursday night at 7 p.m., which in turn forced NASCAR to move the Xfinity Series race scheduled for Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. The turnaround time is too difficult for broadcast partner Fox Sports to leave Charlotte and quickly rebuild its setup in Tennessee under social distancing guidelines. The Xfinity Series race will instead be run Monday night, a day after the Cup Series. NASCAR’s first wave of races in its comeback totaled seven national events over 11 days. The

Stars Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole would lose the most under MLB’s plan, about 77% of the $36 million each they were set to be paid this season. In all, there are 133 players whose contracts call for salaries of $10 million or more, not including shares of signing bonuses. A big leaguer earning $1 million or less would keep at least 43% of his salary under the six-tier scale.

second consecutive Wednesday night race would have been the fourth for the elite Cup Series since May 17. That span included Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600, which went to 607.5 miles in overtime and was the longest event in NASCAR history. The rain allowed for an additional day of rest to the drivers, particularly Kyle Busch and Timmy Hill, who entered all seven of the first set of races. The starting order for the second Cup race at Charlotte this week was set based on the finishing order of the Coca-Cola 600 but with an inversion. Hendrick Motorsports teammates William Byron and Alex Bowman will start from the pole, while Coca-Cola 600 winner Brad

Keselowski will start 20th. Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson will start last because his car was disqualified in post-race inspection after he finished second.

Formula One ZANDVOORT, Netherlands — The Dutch Grand Prix became the fourth Formula One race canceled this season because of the coronavirus pandemic, after organizers chose on Thursday not to host it without spectators. It was to be the first Dutch GP since 1985, but F1 wants to start the season with no spectators at races. “We would like to celebrate this moment, the return of Formula 1 in Zandvoort, together with our racing fans in the Neth-

erlands,” race director Jan Lammers said in a statement. “We ask everyone to be patient. I had to look forward to it for 35 years, so I can wait another year.” The race in Zandvoort was set for May 3 and initially postponed. The coastal circuit has been redesigned, with some corners banked to facilitate faster racing. The other races canceled this year were the season-opening Australian GP on March 15; the Monaco GP on May 24; and the French GP on June 28. Another six have been postponed. F1 organizers still hope to reschedule those and hold 15-18 races this season, starting in July with back-to-back races at the Austrian GP.

Concerns about Canadian coronavirus restrictions could push hockey south of the 49th parallel into the U.S. this summer. Seven of the 10 locations the NHL has zeroed in on to hold playoff games if it resumes are American cities not restricted by Canada’s 14-day mandatory quarantine upon arrival. As 24 teams figure out how to squeeze an expanded roster and limited personnel into one of two “hub” cities, the Vancouver Canucks are even considering relocating training camp to the U.S. if the situation doesn’t change in the coming weeks. The 10 finalists are Las Vegas, Columbus, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton. The NHL will in the next few weeks select two or three to host Eastern and Western Conference brackets and then the Stanley Cup Final by factoring in government regulations, the frequency of COVID-19 in the community and availability of testing.

FOOTBALL Miami stadium turned into drive-in movie theater FORT LAUDERDALE Fla. — It’s as close to the end zone as Miami Dolphins fans are going to get for now. Months after hosting the Super Bowl, Hard Rock Stadium is converting into both a drive-in and open-air move theater. The stadium’s new drive-in will accommodate up to 230 cars, while the open-air theater offers a more intimate viewing experience on the plaza. Guests can even order food and drinks online and have them delivered while enjoying the show. Stadium officials said they would show classic Miami Dolphins content and family-friendly movies, while following social distancing guidelines, according to a news release. They did not mention when tickets would go on sale or when the screenings would begin.
