Fire agencies plan for safety CHERYL UPSHAW The World

COOS COUNTY — Coos County fire crews are making adjustments to protect personnel as they fight fires during a pandemic. For Coos Forest Protective Association and the Bureau of Land Management, finding ways to protect their crews has been an on-

going discussion for the past few months. Both organizations made changes to training and crews in an attempt to ensure firefighters will not contract the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19. CFPA has yet to declare the beginning of the fire season, according to District Specialist Jef Chase. The season usually begins around mid-June. “A lot of folks don’t think the

southern Oregon coast burns that well,” Chase said. However, that perception is mostly due to the aggressive response of fire crews, which quickly put out small fires before they are able to grow. This aggressive approach is part of the planned response for COVID-19. Prior to the pandemic, it was common for fire crews to travel out of the area and even out of the state to assist on large

fires. As much as possible, local crews plan to contain fires before they can become large enough for locals to need outside assistance. That won’t always be possible, according to Megan Harper, Public Information Officer at the BLM. “There’s still always going to be a need for firefighters to respond,” she said. Still, she said increased cooperation between lo-

cal fire agencies could be the key to keeping crews from travelling as frequently as previous years. There are concerns over whether creating fire camps could be a potential vector for spreading COVID-19. At last year’s Highway 97 fire, Chase said some 1,500 crew members were located in the same camp.

before, the farmers market reopened this this week with a new set of safety guidelines and rules

for its volunteers, vendors and customers to follow to help stop and slow down the spread of the new coronavirus. Following precautions set by the CDC and the Oregon Farmers Market Association, booths were spread out at least 8-feet apart and extra tables were placed in front of booths to allow for social distancing between vendors and customers. Hand washing stations, which were sponsored by Banner Bank, were placed throughout the market and volunteers and vendors were equipped with face masks and other protective gear.

Pentagon-Trump clash breaks open over military and protests WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s Pentagon chief shot down his idea of using troops to quell protests across the United States, then reversed course on pulling part of the 82nd Airborne Division off standby in an extraordinary clash between the U.S. military and its

commander in chief. Both Trump and Defense Secretary Mark Esper also drew stinging, rare public criticism from Trump’s first defense secretary, Jim Mattis, in the most public pushback of Trump’s presidency from the men he put at the helm of the world’s most

powerful military. Mattis’ rebuke Wednesday followed Trump’s threats to use the military to “dominate” the streets where Americans are demonstrating following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died when a white police officer pressed his knee into his

neck for several minutes. Trump had urged governors to call out the National Guard to contain protests that turned violent and warned that he could send in active duty military forces if they did not. Esper angered Trump when he

COOS BAY — Election season began Wednesday for Coos Bay City Council hopefuls who gathered at City Hall to register for candidacy on this fall’s ballots. This year, three council seats will open up, along with that held by Mayor Joe Benetti. The other three seats are currently held by Lucinda DiNovo, Drew Farmer and Stephanie Kilmer. By noon Wednesday, all four had filed to run for their positions again. As of this writing, no other candidates have filed to run for these public offices, according to City Manager Rodger Craddock. November 3 is Election Day. Coos Bay councilmembers are at-large, meaning they do not run for or represent specific districts. Those who receive the largest percentage of votes of all those who run for office will win the three open seats. Newly-elected members will be sworn into office at the first council meeting following the election. City council terms last four years. The mayor’s term lasts two years. All council positions, including that of the mayor, are unpaid. City Council currently consists of six councilmembers and the mayor, who leads meetings and has equal voting power with other councilmembers. Current members of the council include Farmer, DiNovo, Kilmer, Phil Marler, Carmen Matthews and Rob Miles. Craddock suggested that those interested in running for public office look into the time commitment involved to serve on the council or as mayor. He stated that while some councilmembers put in between 4-5 hours of work per week, while others worked an hour or two each day for the city. Please see Election, Page A9

Countdown to graduation

Amanda Linares Photos, The World

Wanting to do something special for its graduating class of 2020, Myrtle Point High School officials decorated electrical poles along Spruce Street in downtown Myrtle Point with senior portraits. School officials announced last month its plans to host a drive-in graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 6 at 2 p.m. The ceremony will be held at the Coos County Fairgrounds.

The drive-in Myrtle Point High School graduation ceremony, which will broadcast live on the radio at 97.3 KSHR, will also be streamed online at the Myrtle Point School District 41 Facebook page and its YouTube channel. Community members are encouraged to take part in a celebratory parade to cheer on seniors through Spruce Street at around 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 6.

Boys & Girls Club plans for summer camps ZACH SILVA The World

COOS BAY — With June suddenly here, local organizations are preparing for what summer programs for kids look like in a COVID-19 world. “We’re calling it uncertainty, that’s for sure,” said Angie Reiber, the program director at the Boys and Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon. “We’re trying to put our game plan together on how and what our summer program will look like.” At the Boys and Girls Club, a typical summer can include as many as 200 kids participating in a number of camps at the facility at one time. In accordance with

guidance from the governor’s office, that will look very different this year. According to the “Guidance for School Aged Summertime Day Camps” that was released by Oregon Health Authority, camps are limited to groups of 10 or fewer kids in each program. These groups can’t mix with other groups and they have to stay together as a unit for at least one week. “We can accommodate 10 kids per program area so that’s what kind of limits us to the 50 kids even though with social distancing,” said Reiber. “And the inability to be rotating. Normally in an afternoon or summer setting kids rotate from differ-

ent program areas at their own leisure as to what excites them. But they will be in a cohort as they said.” OHA has put out over 20 pages of documentation going over how organizations can and should prepare for summer camps, including the fact that whatever reopening phase a county is in will not change regulations for the camps. The documents continue to go over the importance of physical distancing, staying home when kids are sick and additional cleaning practices. The biggest change for summer programs is that overnight camps are not permitted at this time. This could be changed at a

later date but there is no timetable for when that would be. “The Governor’s Office and the Oregon Health Authority are having ongoing conversations about how overnight operations can be started safely. If the guidance during Phase One helps stop the spread of the virus, we will revisit whether to issue new guidance around the safe overnight operation of summer camps in the coming weeks,” read the document. This has left local camps unsure of what programs will look like as they hope for the best. Sea Camp of Oregon is a camp run by Southern Oregon University in Charleston which gives students a hands-on look at marine biology and science.

The camp is an overnight camp scheduled for the end of August and, as of now, has not been cancelled. “We understand that planning fun summer activities for your students may seem hard to imagine right now, but we also recognize that by summer young people will need a return to socialization, enrichment, and interactive learning,” read a statement on the camp’s website. “It’s true that things might change, and we will respond in a way that is best for our students and staff. For now, we hope you will join us as we plan a fun, informative, and collaborative summer full of learning opportunities.”

Oregon reports two new deaths State has not seen surge in virus cases since reopening The World

PORTLAND — COVID-19 has claimed two more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 159, the Oregon Health Authority reported Wednesday. Oregon Health Authority reported 65 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday bringing the state total to 4,399. The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported are in the following counties: Benton (1), Clackamas (7), Deschutes (1), Douglas (1), Hood River (6), Jackson (1), Jefferson (1), Lincoln (1), Linn (1), Marion (18), Multnomah (13), Polk (1), Umatilla (2), Wasco (2), Washington (5), Yamhill (4). Oregon’s 158th COVID-19 death is a 68-year-old male in Clackamas County, who tested

positive on May 21 and died on June 2 at Providence Portland Medical Center. He had underlying medical conditions. Oregon’s 159th COVID-19 death is a 60-year-old male in Multnomah County, who tested positive on April 17 and died on May 30 at Providence Portland Medical Center. He had underlying medical conditions. “Answer the Call” As Oregon begins to reopen, one key strategy to help stop the spread of COVID-19 is contact tracing. Contact tracers call people who may have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 to provide them with guidance and support and help prevent further spread of the virus. OHA is working closely with local public and Tribal health departments on a statewide coordinated contact tracing effort.

PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon hasn’t seen a coronavirus resurgence in the weeks since most counties began to slowly reopen businesses, the state’s top health official said Wednesday. Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen spoke of declining hospitalizations and infection rates as evidence that the spread of COVID-19 remains mild, even as new reported cases increased slightly in recent days, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. He credited Oregonians for taking steps to reduce their risk of infection, such as wearing face coverings in public and continuing to practice social distancing. “I think it’s safe to say our situation is stable,” Allen said in a news conference with Gov. Kate Brown. “As stores, salons and restaurants have reopened across the state, COVID-19 has not

reemerged with renewed ferocity.” The official assessment comes as other states throughout the U.S. — such as Texas, North Carolina and Wisconsin — have seen steady increases in coronavirus infections and deaths after lifting stay-home orders imposed at the beginning of the outbreak. Brown allowed most counties to gradually resume public and economic activity on May 15. Twenty-six counties have applied to enter Phase 2 of the state’s reopening process starting Friday, which

lifts additional restrictions. Throughout the pandemic, Oregon has had one of the lowest infection and death rates in the country among known cases. While nearly 4,400 people have tested positive for COVID-19 since late February, recent projections estimate more than 20,000 — almost five times the number of identified cases — have been infected. Multnomah County, home to Portland and almost 20% of the state’s population, remains under the state’s stay-home order. It has applied to start reopening June 12.

NB budget changes to be discussed today

NORTH BEND — During a work session this afternoon, the North Bend City Council will discuss how the public safety fee reduction will look for the 2020-2021 budget. On the evening of May 19 when voters approved

Measure 6-177, reducing the public safety fee from $30 to $15, the city’s budget committee met. “…As those (election) results (came in), the committee passed the budget presented, understanding what they were doing was recommending to the council that the budget expenditure amounts be set, but also recognized the council will have to reduce it by some $785,000 in the general fund as a result of the vote,” said Terence O’Connor, city manager. “Part of the work session is a discussion with the

council in the reduction in the public safety fee for the police department.” Last month, Measure 6-177 was approved by 58% of the voters to reduce the fee. The decision followed years of strife between the public and the city council as the fee increased on resident’s water bills. That fee began at $5. In 2018, voters said “No” to any additional increases. That vote was ignored when the council increased it again with the explanation that it was needed to provide quality public safety services.

O’Connor said the impacts of the fee reduction won’t be seen until July 1 when the new budget goes into effect. Any staffing changes to the North Bend Police Department, and resulting hours of operation in the city, can’t be made until the city negotiates with the union. The work session on Thursday is at 4:30 p.m. and will be streamed on YouTube. During the meeting, the council will receive input from the North Bend Police Department before it approves the 2020-2021 budget next week.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For weeks, President Donald Trump has been eager to publicly turn the page on the coronavirus pandemic. Now fears are growing within the White House that the very thing that finally shoved the virus from center stage — mass protests over the death of George Floyd — may bring about its resurgence. Trump this week has eagerly pronounced himself the “president of law and order” in response to the racial unrest that has swept across the nation, overshadowing the pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 105,000 Americans and imperiled his reelection prospects. But political dangers for the president remain. Thousands of Americans — many without protective face masks — have jammed the nation’s streets over the past week in defiance of social distancing guidelines from governors and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The White House coronavirus task force, which has dramatically scaled back its operations as states

reopen their economies, is scrambling to track the potential impact on infection rates. Any uptick in cases in the weeks ahead could slow the economic rebirth that Trump’s advisers believe he needs before he faces voters again in five months. “A second wave, whether now or in September, would obviously be a setback to the economic recovery and Trump’s reelection hopes,” said Republican strategist Alex Conant. “What Trump needs more than anything is a resurgence of consumer and business confidence. A second wave or prolonged civil unrest will undermine that.” It could take weeks to judge the impact of the nationwide protests on the spread of COVID-19, which had been dramatically ebbing across most of the country before the killing of Floyd, a black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air. Those infected with the

virus sometimes take several days to display symptoms, creating a lag in the data. And many protesters were masked and skewed younger — a population that is less affected by the virus but may also have greater numbers of asymptomatic spreaders — complicating predictions. Dr. Deborah Birx, the administration’s coronavirus coordinator, has been monitoring the protests since they began, looking for indicators of potential resurgence in cases, a White House official said. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters, said Birx was expected to present the task force with early impressions this week but the fuller picture likely won’t be known for some time. Questions are swirling about whether the White House is prepared to handle a possible resurgence after deliberately placing the government’s public health response on the back burner to put more focus on restarting state economies. The task force received a stay of execution last month when Trump decid-

ed not to dissolve it. The group now has a smaller portfolio as the federal priority shifts to helping states safely reopen and the race for a vaccine has been put under the separate auspices of “Operation Warp Speed.” The task force is still collecting data, coordinating the distribution of supplies and test kits, and serving as a sounding board for states, but officials said there’s less to do now that critical supply shortages have been largely eliminated and tests are more broadly available.

COOS COUNTY — After submitting documentation to the state about entering Phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan last Friday, Coos County will be notified of a decision by Thursday afternoon. If approved, Coos County would enter Phase 2 on Saturday. Coos County entered Phase 1 of the reopening process on May 15. Counties were required to be in Phase 1 for a minimum of three weeks before proceeding to Phase 2 to see if the spread of the new coronavirus continued. The Coos County Board of Commissioners submitted a letter stating that criteria has continued to be met, first responders have a sufficient about of personal protective equipment and that there is an appropriate number of contact tracers. Since entering Phase 1, there has one additional positive case of coronavirus and it was for an individual that had been showing symptoms roughly two months prior to testing positive. Coos County has reported 29 positive cases of coronavirus and two presumptive positives. “For us I think it means is that this is as normal as things are going to get until there is a cure,” said Coos County County Commissioner Chair Melissa Cribbins on what it would mean to enter Phase 2. “The Governor’s Office has been pretty clear on that. They don’t think that anybody is going to enter Phase 3 until there is a vaccine. “As far as what it actually means for reopening, it means things like you can reopen swimming pools, spas, tennis courts and pickle ball courts, bowling alleys and movie theaters.” In the initial documentation from the state, Phase 2 also included an optional increase for people to work in offices, the possibility of visitations at congregate settings and in-person

local gatherings of up to 100 people. This was the tentative number provided by the state and is subject to change. While details are still coming out from the state as to what else this would look like, it has been clear that Phase 2 comes with inherent risk. “The biggest risk is that everyone will let their guard down and go back to how they’re used to behaving and then we’ll have an outbreak,” said Cribbins. “Being in Phase 1, Phase 2 is a very fluid concept as far as the state is concerned. So we’ve continued to remind people that we don’t get into Phase 2 and stay here forever, if we get an outbreak it is possible that we have to go back to Phase 1.” With a possibility to go backwards, there is also a chance that the state could adjust regulations going forward. “I would hesitate for anybody to get too much thinking that anything is going to be this way for quite awhile because we all know all of the targets, all of the guidelines have changed as this has gone on. So really my main thing is I really think we all have to have patience and realize that everybody is doing the best they can and that we need to continue to wash our hands and avoid spreading diseases generally,” said Cribbins. Across the state 28 counties are currently under review for Phase 2, although there is confusion from counties in the applications for when the earliest it would be allowed to open back up. The state’s website notes that the earliest counties could move into Phase 2 is “after 21 days in Phase 1.” Sixteen counties applied to open on June 5, which is the 21st day of being in Phase 1. Eleven counties, including Coos County, applied to reopen on June 6 which would be after the completion of that 21-day period. Tillamook County applied to reopen on Monday, June 8.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Taking on an imaginary enemy In response to the supposed “RIOT” (!?!) In Coquille involving 100 “concerned”, armed residents, about all we can say is; Is this a joke, or something? …There’s not a whole lot worth “looting”, and “burning down” in Coquille. And we mean that in a good way! … Antifa has no interest in violence, or destruction, just to create havoc. Where you find people waving Confederate flags, and Nazi insignias, marching in “brown shirt” fascist uniforms, and carrying torches, that’s where you find Antifa. It stands for antifascist. Fighting back against extremist bully’s trying to overtake and destroy our nation with their fantasy “talk radio” propaganda.

Are they left wing “liberals”? Hell yes! They are sick and tired of right wing extremest thugs waving military weapons and professing violence against law abiding American citizens, and are finally standing up to the dillusional fanatics who are doing more harm to our national unity than any Riot in support of equal rights. The “concerned citizens” of Coquille were very near to being exactly what is wrong today. Overly fearfully people taking to the the streets with weapons to take on an imaginary “enemy”! THATS what’s scary. That’s the kind of baseless fear the Russians are spreading. Douglas and Debra Bankler North Bend

GUEST OPINION

The over-glorification of daily planners Because of the coronavirus outbreak and social distancing, daily schedules have changed dramatically. The internet is blowing up with social media influencers highlighting their new “quarantine routine” as Americans adopt a work-from-home lifestyle. Stuck indoors, people struggle to stay productive, but the transition is not always easy. Many wonder: “How do I make the most of these extraordinary and unstructured days?” If you thought, “a daily planner,” you are not alone. Millions promote daily planning as an efficient method to manage their routine and activities. I often find myself gawking at the intricate designs and beautiful calligraphy on planners. The pages are amazing — each entry is an unparalleled work of art, on top of being practical. Once, I considered enlisting in the productivity cult. I would join the 400 million (and counting) planner devotees who announce themselves as #PlannerAddicts; I would arm myself with high-quality stickers and multicolored pens; I would create a beautiful planner to keep me on track. I am not unaware of the power in writing things down. Author C.S. Lewis once wrote, “You can make anything by writing.” The real reason why I haven’t joined the conga line of planned and productive tomorrows is that it does more harm than good to our wellbeing. While the achiever in me wants to fill in all the boxes and lists the planners provide, the reality is my life is not so tidy, and trying to make it fit stresses me out. On numerous occasions, I have started daily planning but the outcome was fruitless. I wondered: 1) If I don’t get all this done, how will I feel about myself? 2) What if at 10 a.m. — sharp — something comes up? 3) How will I feel about myself if I don’t complete everything in my planner? 4) What is the point in doing this if I already fulfill my daily tasks? 5) Wow, making a planner takes a lot of time. Planners are easily adaptable, ranging from simple to complex artistic designs. They are designed to assist those who lack motivation, those who get distracted frequently and those who start filing their taxes only to end up spending hours perfecting their dog’s treehouse in Minecraft. But will planners solve the issue of procrastination or will they make us feel guilty about not finishing the task at hand? Planning out how their day “should look” provides us with unrealistic expectations. Planners don’t understand humans. They don’t have sympathy for the days we are under the weather. They don’t grant forgiveness for our unfinished work because of our

ELLI SCHULZ

Bandon High School junior grandfather’s funeral or friend’s birthday. They don’t understand that 2 p.m. is not a productive time for everyone. Planners don’t accommodate frequent calendar changes occurring in people’s lives. They demand perfect schedules, which require perfect days, which, we all know, is not possible. With sections for books to read, movies to see, daily chore and holiday bucket lists (does just getting through them count?), they take out all spontaneity and devote our lives to work. They are a symbol showing us how we prioritize productivity over life. As John Lennon sang in Beautiful Boy, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” Since when did industry, alone, become a measure of worth? Society has come to this belief that we are supposed to be productive every minute of every hour of our life. But our life is not an assembly line. We are not Oompa Loompas who spend their days in a never-ending chocolate factory. How uneventful. We do live in a world full of distraction, and a to-do list may offer an escape from the rabbit hole of the internet. But downtime is not the enemy. There is immense value to unscheduled time, to taking a walk, tuning out the world, letting the mind wander. Sticking to intense, unforgiving schedules is not a healthy approach to life. Our creativity and inventions come from stepping outside the lines and thinking outside the box — not from regimented over-planned days. Yes, this time of social distancing and working from home may be out of people’s comfort zone, but it is the best time to work on our motivation, to gain more self-discipline that we won’t need a planner to finish our tasks. At some point, I may join the planner nation … just not today. I’m stepping away from the altar of industry, as should others. Life doesn’t necessarily go as expected. We need to let go, live life and get real work done. Elli Schulz is a junior at Bandon High School and wrote this essay as part of an English assignment.

Tells of Meeting Mr. Bennett says the members of the commission, considering the high cost of building material and the low price of bonds in the state of Oregon, are cutting and curtailing all expenses and are accepting no new work except that, that is essential or which was ordered before the meeting.

Slowing Trend in SWO Jobs A note of “cautious optimism” underlies definite slowing up of the Southwestern economy, according to a report released today by the Coos Bay branch of the Oregon Employment office. Manager Edward Konka said there is some optimism should the building market start sooner than is generally anticipated Otherwise, he said, “The South Coast area business sector reflects an economy that is definitely in the process of slowing. Almost without exception, reports for the month of May indicated a slight downturn from a year ago.” Who Has Authority? Judge to Hear Case in Coos Juvenile Dispute COQUILLE — A Lane County Circuit Court Judge will hear arguments here Monday in a long-standing dispute between the Coos Circuit and board of county commissioners over final authority in fixing county juvenile department budgets. Lane County Circuit Judge Douglas Spencer will hear arguments which center on the interpretation of an Oregon law setting final authority over juvenile department budgets. The dispute erupted last year when a court order directing the board of commissioners to grant budget requests as submitted was filed by the circuit court. The order, which arose when commissioners pared down requested salary increases, threatened to hold the commissioners in contempt of court if the salaries were not granted.

Girl Said Attacked In Coos Coos County Juvenile Department today is investigating the alleged assault and battery of a 16-year-old Eastside girl Tuesday by two other girls at Georgia-Pacific Corp. reservoir on Olive Barber Road. The victim, according to a deputy sheriff’s report, claims she and two friends went to the reservoir to swim about noon when the two accused girls came to the site and one attacked her. She told the deputy she jumped in the water and both jumped in after her. The investigation report said the girl’s swimsuit was cut from her while they were in the water and the two alleged attackers departed with three other juveniles who had accompanied them to the site. Conflicting statements by witnesses of the incident are being reviewed and an investigation is being pursued by the juvenile department. The juveniles involved said they went to the reservoir during their lunch hour, according to Larry Doman, juvenile director.

OBITUARIES William D. “Bill” Arriola

Fred J. Bussmann

October 22, 1950 – May 29, 2020

A private family service will be held Saturday, June 6 in Coquille. A celebration of Bill’s life will be held for friends at a later date. William D. “Bill” Arriola was born October 22, 1950 to Danny and Mildred (Smith) Arriola and was raised on his family’s cattle ranch in Westfall, Oregon. Bill died May 29, 2020 at home in Coquille, after becoming ill from cancer. After graduation from Harper High School Bill joined the Army where he served as a helicopter door gunner during the Vietnam War. Bill did not talk much about his service - he was content to say, “I did my job”. When he returned from the Army, he joined his oldest brother, Frank to log timber in Coos County with his future father-in law, “Babe” Wooley. Babe taught Bill so much about logging and they remained close until Babe’s untimely death. Joined later by their younger brother Gene, Bill continued a life-long career of logging in Coos County with stints in California. Bill was a private man who was content to sit back and let others speak, but he was also the life of the party. He had a wicked sense of humor, laughed often, and was a great dancer. Wherever there was dancing, he was in the middle of the floor - feet shuffling, surrounded by laughing partners. Bill loved to golf and when he wasn’t at work he could be found at his church, the Coquille Valley Elks golf course. He couldn’t wait for hunting season and spent time each year deer and elk hunting with family and friends in Westfall. Bill loved to have fun, but he was passionate about

May 15, 1935 - May 16, 2020

work and particular about doing it well. He wasn’t ready to retire and sit back and relax. He loved his family, his work, football (especially the 49’ers), golf, fishing, hunting, and cold beer. In an emergency warm beer would do. Bill tempted death from the time he was a kid on the ranch, through teenage stunts on motorcycles, fast cars, and racing down the sheer drop-off “Bill’s Butte” in an old pickup; and later as a soldier in Vietnam; then all the wild stunts he pulled over the years. His willingness to take risks and lack of fear allowed him to live a full life even though his death came too soon. We will remember Bill for how much he loved his family, for his love of fun and his love of work. We will miss his devilish grin and sense of humor and remember him as a man who lived life fearlessly and fully. Bill is survived by his wife of 45 years, Lynda “Che”; daughters, Casey Arriola Gallino and Briana Arriola (Chris Dodd); son, Justin; grandchildren, Laney, Spencer, Saige, and Grey; great-grandsons, Willy and Beck; mother, Mildred; brother, Frank (Susan); brother, and best friend, Gene (Kaye); brother, Tony (Stephanie); sister, Tammi Herman (Greg); numerous aunts; uncles; cousins; nieces; nephews; and special uncle, Sonny Smith (Judy). Online remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www. westrumfuneralservice.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Amling/Schroeder Funeral Service – Coquille Chapel, 541-396-3846.

Oregon loosening virus restrictions for restaurants and pools in phase 2 SALEM (AP) — Oregon’s phase 2 coronavirus reopening plan will begin Friday and includes opening pools, zoos, museums and movie theaters, allowing recreational sports, loosening current restaurant restrictions and expanding outdoor gatherings to 100 people. Gov. Kate Brown held a news conference late Wednesday morning with state health leaders to discuss the next steps ease restrictions from her stay-at-home directives. “This cautious approach is keeping many vulnerable Oregonians safe during the pandemic,” Brown said. “I know it is frustrating that reopening has to move slowly. I know our economy has taken an extraordinary blow. But, let me be clear, this cautious approach is saving lives all across the entire state of Oregon.” Thirty-one counties are eligible to apply for phase 2, including Deschutes, Jackson and Lane, according to the state’s reopening dashboard. The governor’s office is reviewing the applications and will announce Thursday which counties can move forward to phase 2. Currently, gathering limits are set at 25 people. Under phase 2, gatherings will be increased to 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors, said Gina Zejdlik, Brown’s deputy chief of staff. “We are also opening up more sectors in a limited way, like movie theaters and churches can open and expand their occupancy as long as they are in strict compliance with physical distancing, sanitation and occupancy limitation,” Zejdlik said. Following updated guidance, zoos, museums and outdoor gardens, will be allowed to open statewide.

Recreational non-contact sports, such as pickleball and tennis, will begin again. In addition, collegiate athletes will return to training by midJune, said Gov. Brown. Restaurants, which are currently required to close at 10 p.m., will be allowed to stay open until 12 a.m. in counties approved for phase 2. The governor is also shifting from requiring people to work remotely to “strongly recommending” it. In order to enter phase 2, counties must meet Oregon’s safety and preparedness prerequisites for reopening and have been in phase 1 for at least 21 days. All counties are currently in phase 1 except for Multnomah County, which has yet to apply and is taking a more deliberative approach because of its size, density and diversity. As of Tuesday, at least 157 people in Oregon have died from the coronavirus and more than 4,300 in the state have tested positive for the disease. Pat Allen, the director of the Oregon Health Authority, said the state currently has the fourth-lowest COVID-19 infection rate in the nation. “I think it is safe to say our situation is stable,” Allen said. “Oregonians have been doing what they need to do, to keep themselves, their loved ones and their neighbors safe.” For most, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.

Portland mayor signs police reform pledge PORTLAND (AP) — More than 10,000 people demonstrated peacefully in Portland in one of the largest U.S. protests Tuesday before police say late in the evening a group of several hundred broke away and engaged with police, who used flash-bang grenades and tear gas on them. Police Chief Jami Resch said Wednesday some people tried to tear down a fence protecting a police building and threw mortars, glass bottles, and baseball bats at officers who were trying to secure the fence. Protests have erupted across the globe over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week. Floyd, a handcuffed black man, died after a Minneapolis police of-

ficer pressed his knee into his neck as he pleaded for air. Early Wednesday in Portland, police said a large group used barricades to block an intersection and pallets and other items were used to create a large pile. A bucket of what police believe to be an accelerant was poured on it and police said officers drove through the pile to prevent it from being ignited. Police also said Wednesday that police leaders are looking into a news video showing a police vehicle striking a barricade, causing people to jump out of the way and raising questions about how the Portland Police Bureau has interacted with crowds. Resch said Wednesday she had not seen the video and was unsure

if that was a separate incident from the one involving the belief that accelerant was used, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. Officers arrested or detained more than 12 people before most people left the area around 2 a.m., police said. One firearm and a replica firearm were taken by police, authorities said. “There are many thousands of you who are not involved in violence and destruction and I thank you” Resch said. “I still hear your message and know the others who are engaging in criminal acts do not represent you. Many others aggressively engaged in acts of violence directed at the police tonight.”

No services will be held or memorial at his request. Fred J. Bussmann was born to Peter Bussmann and Alama (Tiemann) Bussmann in Petaluma, California. He was raised on a beef cattle and chicken ranch with his three brothers and one sister. He went to Petaluma High School. He later met and married Catherine Lindley, they were married July 16, 1955. Fred was in the cattle business his whole life but decided he needed a dependable job and got into construction. He did masonry work until his retirement at the age of 45. After retirement he decided to move to Oregon to be closer to his brothers, Pete and Ernie Bussmann. He and Cathy were missing their family and decided to start a family business. The rest of the family followed and he and his two sons started a business, “Bussmann‘s Mobile Ranch Butchering.” Fred worked there for many, many years. He enjoyed talking to the

customers. He also loved going to the fair and selling jerky and seeing all the 4-H and FFA kids grow up. Fred retired at the age of 82 to stay home and be with his loving wife, Cathy. He leaves behind his loving wife, Cathy; two sons, Fred and Chris Bussmann; daughter, Heidi Bussmann; daughter-in-law, Deana Bussmann; sonin-law, Mike Gardner; grandchildren, Chris , Ridge and John Bussmann; Jamie (Bussmann) Berry; and Nick and Steven Hiley; great-grandchildren, Chance, Rudy, Lane and Luke; grandson-in-law, Chad Berry, all of Bandon; brothers, Pete and Ernie Bussmann of Sixes; sister, Deana McDonald of Canby, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ninalee Page

July 1, 1938 – May 15, 2020

Ninalee Page was born to Harry and Nina (Simmons) Barr in Lawndale, California. She passed away on May 15, 2020 at the age of 81. We will see her again with the Lord in Heaven. After moving to Oregon, she lived in Coos County for many years. In retirement, she moved to Hurley, New Mexico and in May she moved to Dayton, Oregon. Nina loved the beach (but not the cold water), Shore Acres, Mingus Park, or any place where she could take kids to play. Nina loved and found joy in children of all ages. She fondly remembered growing up in California with warm weather and sunshine, which made living in New Mexico a treat for her as well. In her lifetime she was able to enjoy the sun and the beach! And her most memorable trait: bare feet! You were more likely to see Nina out of shoes rather than in them!

Nina is survived by her husband, Floyd Page of Dayton; children, Steve Mandella of Idaho, Jeff Fullerton of Sutherlin, Julie Vincent of Myrtle Point, Debie Vanlandingham of Roseburg, and Karen Monteith of Winston; step-children, Ed Page of Crow, Robin Pelc of Coquille, Kelley Sugg of Dayton, and Nathan Page of Happy Valley; brother, George Barr of Nevada; 19 grandchildren; and nine great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her brother, Richard Barr and sister, Dorothy (Barr) Ashburn. A family memorial will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to Friends of Shore Acres, PO Box 1172, Coos Bay, OR 97420. Arrangements are under the direction of Macy & Son Funeral Home and Cremation Services, (503) 472-6151.

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren Woman runs low on patience for friend’s drama-filled life DEAR ABBY: My friend “Kate” has had a lot of trauma in her life, and she feels things very deeply. She has experienced assault, the suicide of a close friend, the death of several family members, discovered she can’t have children, and managed to escape an abusive relationship, all in the last five years or so. Kate does all the things people are supposed to do when coping with grief and is doing very well. The problem is me. I find it hard to be around her because of all the drama. Intellectually, I understand none of this is Kate’s fault. She isn’t being attention-seeking or deliberately causing drama. But I find myself becoming impatient with her ongoing discussion of feelings. I’m not someone who feels deeply or is easily traumatized. Bad things happen, I get over it and move on. How can I learn to be the patient, caring friend she needs? -TRYING TO BE A BETTER FRIEND DEAR TRYING: Quit being so hard on yourself. You are and have been a good friend. It’s important that you not allow Kate’s burdens to “sink” you. The two of you are very different people, and you should explain that to her as you have to me. If her trauma and drama become more than you can healthfully absorb, step back and tell her you will talk with her later, tomorrow or when it is convenient for you both, which will allow you time to come up for air. DEAR ABBY: I am self-quarantined for a number of reasons because of the virus. I am 87 and live alone. My daughter is very concerned that I not become ill because her husband is in treatment for cancer. Obviously, she doesn’t want to have to come care for me and endanger her husband’s already reduced immunity. A friend called to ask how I am doing. I told her I was self-quarantined, and she asked if I needed anything. I told her I didn’t have eggs, but it was no big deal. She said she would bring me some. I sent her a text and asked her to leave them on the porch, and she said, “You mean you

won’t let me in the house?” She said she isn’t sick and can’t understand why I’m doing this. I tried to explain that you can be contagious without symptoms, but she was still insulted. I thought everyone in the world knew the basics of quarantine, but apparently she’s still taking it personally. She hasn’t called for three days, and I’m heartsick. Advice? -- SHUT IN IN ARIZONA DEAR SHUT IN: In spite of the fact that the federal, state and local governments are releasing information on a daily basis about the importance of social distancing and self-quarantining, there is still confusion in the minds of some of the public. Your friend is a perfect example of this. You are doing what you’re doing for the right reason, and I hope you will continue, not only for your son-in-law’s sake, but also for your own. DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married five years, and I just discovered that my husband still has several text messages from his late wife. He thinks I shouldn’t be upset about it. Am I wrong for asking him to delete them? -- FEELING BETRAYED IN THE SOUTH DEAR FEELING BETRAYED: Yes, you are! Do not compete with a deceased spouse. Hanging on to mementoes is a way many people grieve. If the texts hold significance for him, let him have them. You’re his wife now, and that’s what matters. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Nearly 1.9 million more people apply for unemployment WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 1.9 million people applied for U.S. unemployment benefits last week, the ninth straight decline since applications spiked in midMarch, a sign that the gradual reopening of businesses has slowed the loss of jobs. The diminishing pace suggests that the job market meltdown that was triggered by the coronavirus may have bottomed out as more companies call at least some of their former employees back to work. The total number of people who are now receiving jobless aid rose only slightly to 21.5 million, suggesting that rehiring is offsetting some of the ongoing layoffs. Though applications for benefits are slowing, the latest weekly number is still more than double the record high that prevailed before the viral outbreak. It shows that there are limits to how much a partial reopening of the economy can restore a depressed job market mired in a recession. With all states in the process of gradually reopening for business, more consumers are starting to return to restaurants, stores and hair salons. That trend has

boosted consumer spending from exceedingly low levels and has likely encouraged some companies to hire again. In addition to the laid-off employees who applied for benefits last week, 623,000 others sought jobless aid under a new program for self-employed and gig workers, who now qualify for unemployment benefits for the first time. These figures aren’t adjusted for seasonal variations, so the government doesn’t include them in the overall data. The figures come one day before the government’s jobs report for May is expected to show that employers slashed 8 million jobs last month and that the unemployment rate jumped from 14.7% to 19.8%. If those forecasts prove accurate, it would mean that nearly 30 million people have lost jobs since the viral outbreak intensified in March and that joblessness has reached its highest point since the Great Depression. Since mid-March, 42.7 million people have applied for unemployment benefits. Not all of them are still unemployed,

though. Some have since been rehired. And some laid-off people, it turns out, filed duplicate applications for benefits as they struggled with unresponsive state unemployment systems. Thursday’s report wasn’t affected by the protests over the killing of George Floyd, which in recent days forced some major retailers and small businesses to close, because it covers claims filed only through May 30. But some economists warn that applications for unemployment aid could rise in next week’s report, reflecting business closures amid the protests and scattered vandalism. “That’s going to kick up the claims again,” said Jane Oates, a former Labor Department official. The depth of the job cuts since the virus forced the widespread shutdown of businesses reflects an economy gripped by the worst downturn since the Great Depression. The economy is thought to be shrinking in the April-June quarter at an annual rate approaching 40%. That would be, by far, the worst quarterly contraction

on record. Still, real-time private data on consumer behavior is showing signs that the economy is gradually reviving. Credit and debit card spending tracked by Chase Bank shows that consumer spending, though roughly flat last week, rebounded from its low point in mid-April, when it was 40% below year-ago levels. Now, it is down 20% from a year ago. Economists caution that most Americans will need to feel more confident about returning to their former habits of shopping, traveling and eating out before the economy can sustain any meaningful recovery. That will likely require the availability of a vaccine or a significant increase in testing. “What’s really going to move the needle economically is when consumers and businesses feel comfortable re-engaging with the economy the way they did before COVID-19,” said Adam Kamins, a senior regional economist at Moody’s Analytics.

CLASH From A1

Esper angered Trump when he said he opposed using military troops for law enforcement, seemingly taking the teeth out of the president’s threat to use the Insurrection Act. Esper said the 1807 law should be invoked “only in the most urgent and dire of situations.” He added, “We are not in one of those situations now.” After Esper’s visit to the White House, the Pentagon abruptly overturned an

black man, died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into his neck as he pleaded for air. Early Wednesday in Portland, police said a large group used barricades to block an intersection and pallets and other items were used to create a large pile. A bucket of what police believe to be an accelerant was poured on it and police said officers drove through the pile to prevent it from being ignited. Police also said Wednesday that police leaders are looking into a news video showing a police vehicle striking a barricade, causing people to jump out of the way and raising questions

earlier decision to send a couple hundred active-duty soldiers home from the Washington, D.C., region, a public sign of the growing tensions with the White House amid mounting criticism that the Pentagon was being politicized in response to the protests. Former Secretary Mattis, a retired Marine general, lambasted both Trump and Esper in an essay in The Atlantic for their consideration of using the active-duty military in law enforcement — and for the use of the National Guard

about how the Portland Police Bureau has interacted with crowds. Resch said Wednesday she had not seen the video and was unsure if that was a separate incident from the one involving the belief that accelerant was used, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. Officers arrested or detained more than 12 people before most people left the area around 2 a.m., police said. One firearm and a replica firearm were taken by police, authorities said. “There are many thousands of you who are not involved in violence and destruction and I thank you” Resch said. “I still hear

in clearing out a largely peaceful protest near the White House on Monday evening. “We must reject any thinking of our cities as a ‘battlespace’ that our uniformed military is called upon to ‘dominate,’” Mattis wrote, referencing quotes by Esper and Trump respectively. “Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict — a false conflict — between the military and civilian society. “ Trump responded on

your message and know the others who are engaging in criminal acts do not represent you. Many others aggressively engaged in acts of violence directed at the police tonight.” On Wednesday evening in Portland, news cameras showed a large crowd of protesters marching in the city and onto the Morrison Bridge chanting, “We can’t breathe,” “Black lives matter,” and at one point kneeling on the bridge. People along the route were handing out water and pizza, The Oregonian/ OregonLive reported. Noelani Johnson told the newspaper she decided to attend

Twitter by calling Mattis “the world’s most overrated General,” adding: “I didn’t like his ‘leadership’ style or much else about him, and many others agree, Glad he is gone!” Days ago, Esper had ordered about 1,300 Army personnel to military bases outside the nation’s capital as Trump weighed whether to invoke the Insurrection Act and send active-duty troops into the city, where the scene of large protests that devolved into violence and looting over the weekend. But after a night

of calm enforced by a large deployment of National Guard troops and heavily armed federal law enforcement agents, defense officials said the troops would begin returning to their home base. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press that the decision was reversed after Esper’s visit to the White House. The White House didn’t respond to request for comment on whether Trump ordered the change. The shift added to confusion over the president’s

threat to invoke the Insurrection Act for protests following Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. White House officials had indicated even before Esper’s comments that Trump was backing away from invoking the act, though officials said Trump was upset that Esper’s statement conveyed “weakness.” Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president was still willing to deploy federal troops despite Esper’s comments: “If needed, he will use it,” she told reporters.

the protests for the first time. “I’m here because I’m tired of feeling like an outcast in my country, and I want to see changes,” she said. “I think the turnout here has been really impressive. It shows that racism is finally being recorded, and that we’ve all had enough.” Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said via tweet late Wednesday afternoon that he had signed a pledge promoted by former President Barack Obama to address police use of force policies. “Signed,” Wheeler tweeted, tagging Obama. “Portland is ready.”

If you have patience you can make it through a lot of obstacles.” Next week as another way to promote the new changes and to keep everyone safe against the COVID-19 virus, the Waterfall Clinic will have a booth set up at the market where they will hand out free face masks and educate people on the new coronavirus, Hasart said.

“The community has really come out and embraced all the new rules,” said Hasart. “It’s wonderful to see. I’ve noticed a lot, I would say about 75% of customers, are wearing face masks and many people are social distancing themselves from others.” For Glen Lehne, of Norm Lehne Garden and Orchards in Roseburg, the market’s opening day was sort of similar to past openings. A combination of warm, sunny weather and steady flow of customers he said made the day feel like any other. What was drastically different this year, he said, was that at his booth he picked and bagged produce for customers as a way to follow the contact-less rules and social distancing guidelines set up by staff this season. “It’s different, but it works for now,” he said. “… The customers have been very patient with us and that’s been the biggest

a statewide matching program, which helps increase SNAP participants’ access to fresh fruits and vegetables. In collaboration with the Oregon Farmers Market Association, the program allows for the local farmers market to match their amount up to $20. With the possibility of more restrictions being lifted in the near future, Hasart said the market will adapt with the times and hopes eventually it will become what it used to be. As for now, she said the market will continue to operate as an essential outdoor grocery store, a market that’s back to its roots as a place where farmers and customers can connect. “I just want to say thank you to the community for coming out and supporting these guys,” said Hasart. “I know our farmers have been really hit hard with schools closing early and restaurants having been closed. They’ve lost a lot of revenue and so I’m happy we’re still able to be have a farmers market this year.”

“We can’t do that right now. We’re kind of trying to figure out how to still do fire and maintain distance and minimize exposure and risks,” he said. The goal is to put out fires within a few hours. Additionally, while in prior years, a firefighter might work with a different crew each day, this year, individual firefighters will stay with the same crew as much as possible. Agencies hope this will help prevent the spread of the virus within departments and make it easier to track its spread, should a crew member get sick. As the organizations gear up for fire season, both BLM and CFPA firefighters are using the internet to prepare. Both agencies are conducting training online. The CFPA has canceled some of the larger training sessions until they can gather in large groups. CFPA is also conducting interviews for this season’s employees using FaceTime, Skype and the phone. CFPA plans to be careful about smoke exposure and

to keep crews out of smoke as much as possible. This is always a concern, Chase said, but is a particular worry this year, since COVID-19 is a respiratory ailment. Additionally, fire crews are being given additional personal protective equipment. Chase hopes for a moderate fire season and said recent rains helped to delay the start of this year’s season. According to Harper, recent fire reports predict southwest Oregon will have an above-average number of fires this year due to drought conditions and higher fuel levels. According to Chase, CFPA’s district sees an average of 50-60 fires a year. Most of these are small fires of less than an acre. The district runs vertically from the Lane County line down to the border of California and horizontally from Camas Valley to the ocean. Before fire season begins, both Harper and Chase asked the public to help local firefighters by practicing fire safety and extra caution, particularly when camping. Since most fires locally are human-caused, it is important, they said, to be fire safe.

This is in addition to the weekly meetings of the council. Prior to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the council met each week for regular meetings and work sessions. The documentation that accompanies these meetings can range from 30 pages to several hundred pages.

To qualify to run for city office, a candidate must be at least 18 years old, have lived in Coos Bay city limits for one year and be a registered voter. Those interested have until August 25 to submit their state forms to City Hall and pay their $26.25 fee. Those who are unable or willing to pay the fee can instead file by petition. Craddock said he cannot remember any candidates filing in this way, as the fee is relatively low.

Olympics could be downsized TOKYO (AP) — The Japanese public is being prepared for the reality of next year’s postponed Olympics, where athletes are likely to face quarantines, spectators will be fewer, and the delay will cost taxpayers billions of dollars. In the last several weeks, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has given selected interviews outside Japan and hinted at empty stadiums, quarantines and virus testing. IOC member John Coates, who oversees Tokyo preparations, said a few weeks ago in Australia that the Tokyo Olympics face “real problems,” partially because of the numbers involved: 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes to start with, and then staff, officials, media and up to 80,000 volunteers. The stark message about a very different, reduced Olympics is now being floated in Japan

by politicians, and in unsourced news stories. The themes include the possibility of reduced seating at the Olympics — if any fans at all — tests for all athletes, fans and staff, and a quarantine-like situation at the Athletes Village. In the hours before an online news conference on Thursday with Tokyo Olympics spokesman Masa Takaya, Japanese media published several versions of virtually the same story citing unnamed sources: Next year’s Olympics will be “downsized,” “simplified,” or “very different.” Tokyo CEO Toshiro Muto has been open about slashing costs and “reducing service levels.” Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, in Thursday newscasts, sounded the same tune. “We will move ahead with the items that should be streamlined and simplified,” she said, giving no details on the downsizing and adding that the public

would be consulted. “First of all we need to gain the understanding of Tokyo residents and the Japanese people,” she said. But in the news conference, Takaya did not substantiate any of the leaked information and said it did not come directly from him. One typical report said Olympic seating could be reduced, leaving in limbo the disposition of millions of tickets already sold. “We want to brush away these concerns,” Takaya said, speaking to worried ticket holders. However, he offered nothing concrete accept to say that “countermeasures” against COVID-19 will not be determined until this fall. That would include plans for fans, quarantines and so forth. Tickets are going to be a battle ground. The organizing

committee has budgeted income of at least $800 million from ticket sales, and may be reluctant to return it. The tickets carry a “force majeure” clause, which may permit organizers to avoid refunds. “We understand that countermeasures for COVID-19 next year, particularly during games time, is one of the biggest things to address in preparing for the games next year,” Takaya said. “But once again these countermeasures will be discussed in more depth from this autumn onward.” Like many countries, Japan is headed into a recession brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, Olympic costs have soared. The cost of the delay in Japan has been estimated at $2 billion to $6 billion. Neither the IOC nor organizers have given a figure for the costs to Japan, or who will pay for them.

Sports Briefs NBA League plans for 22-team reboot to season The NBA has told the National Basketball Players Association that it will present a 22-team plan for restarting the season to the league’s board of governors on Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The teams that will be going to the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex on the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida, would play eight games to determine playoff seeding starting around July 31 before the postseason begins, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league has not released its proposal publicly. The plan, once approved, would have 13 Western Conference teams and nine Eastern Conference teams going to Disney, and the cutoff being that teams must be within six games of a playoff spot at this point. Playoffs would start in August, and the NBA Finals will likely stretch into October, the person said.

Marshfield runners receive OSAA awards The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield running standouts Kaylee Delzotti and Aaron Prince didn’t get to have a senior track season, their spring sport canceled along with all the others, but they did get a big honor at the end of the year. The two cross country and track standouts were named Marshfield’s winners of the Oregon School Activities Association Award of Excellence. Each year, the award is presented to one male and one female athlete at each OSAA-affiliated school, based on their dedication to interscholastic athletics while also being strong students. “They are two of the finest young people I have had the pleasure to coach,” Marshfield cross country coach Steve Delgado said. “They have meant a great deal to me and the teams they have been a part of over the years.” Delgado said the award

honors students who understand the importance of athletics to the whole school experience. “One who understands that athletics are much more than winning and losing,” he said. “They build character and skills for being an exceptional citizen to our society.” Both had stellar careers for the Pirates. Delzotti was a four-year varsity member of the cross country team and three-year letter winner in track and field, her fourth season canceled. She was co-captain and team most valuable player for cross country in the fall and also had been slated to be a co-captain in track this spring. In her best cross country season, her sophomore year, she placed third at the district meet and ninth at the state meet. Her lifetime best ranks fifth on Marshfield’s top-10 list for 5,000 meters and she also was middle school champion before getting to high school. Marshfield’s girls track team

Brees apologizes for comments about players, flag NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees apologized Thursday for comments that were “insensitive and completely missed the mark” when he reiterated his opposition to Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling during the national anthem in 2016, drawing sharp criticism from fellow high-profile athletes and others in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Los Angeles Lakers great LeBron James, New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins and former NFL player Martellus Bennett were just some of the high-profile athletes to criticize Brees on their Twitter feeds. Brees, a New Orleans Saints quarterback who won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season, was

asked Wednesday in an interview with Yahoo to revisit former NFL quarterback Kaepernick’s kneeling during the national anthem before games to bring awareness of police brutality and racial injustice. “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States,” Brees began, adding that the national anthem reminds him of his grandfathers, who served in the armed forces during World War II. “In many cases, it brings me to tears thinking about all that has been sacrificed, and not just in the military, but for that matter, those throughout the civil rights movements of the ’60s, and all that has been endured by so

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball rejected the players’ proposal for a 114-game regular season schedule with no additional salary cuts, and will turn its attention to a shortened slate of perhaps 50 games or fewer. Owners last week proposed an 82-game schedule starting in early July “We do not have any reason to believe that a negotiated solution for an 82-game season is possible,” Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem wrote in a letter Wednesday to chief union negotiator Bruce Meyer that was obtained by The Associated Press. MLB’s plan included a sliding scale of pay decreases that would leave players at the $563,500 minimum with 47% of their original salaries and top stars Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole at less than 22% of the $36 million they had been set to earn. Players insisted they receive the prorated salaries agreed to in a March 26 deal, which would give them 70% pay at 114 games. That agreement called for the sides to “discuss in good faith the economic feasibility of playing games in the absence of spectators.” The union has said no additional cuts are acceptable.

many people up until this point.” Many athletes have repeatedly said the kneeling was not about disrespecting the flag or the military but instead about police brutality. Derek Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Floyd, a Minneapolis black man who was handcuffed as the officer pressed a knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes. In an Instagram post Thursday, Brees said he was apologizing to his friends, teammates, New Orleans, the black community, the NFL community and “anyone I hurt with my comments yesterday.” “In an attempt to talk about respect, unity, and solidarity

centered around the American flag and the national anthem, I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country,” he wrote. “They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy. Instead, those words have become divisive and hurtful and have misled people into believing that somehow I am an enemy. This could not be further from the truth, and is not an accurate reflection of my heart or my character.” Kaepernick hasn’t yet responded to the initial comments by Brees, but he did retweet a post by Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma before Brees’ apology.

Major League Soccer and its players’ union agreed to a sixyear labor contract through 2025 that paves the way for a tournament in Florida after the season was suspended by the coronavirus pandemic. The deal was announced Wednesday following tense talks that led to some players skipping voluntary workouts and the league threatening a lockout. MLS and the Major League Soccer Players Association agreed Feb. 6 to a five-year labor contract, but the deal had not been ratified when the season was stopped on March 12 after only two matches had been played by each team.

OBITUARY Former Tennessee coach Johnny Majors dies KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — College Football Hall of Famer Johnny Majors, the coach of Pittsburgh’s 1976 national championship team and a former coach and star player at Tennessee, died Wednesday. He was 85. Majors died at his home in Knoxville, according to his wife, Mary Lynn Majors. “He spent his last hours doing something he dearly loved: looking out over his cherished Tennessee River,” she said in a statement first given to Sports Radio WNML. Majors compiled a 185-137-10 record in 29 seasons as a head coach at Iowa State (1968-72), Pitt (1973-76, 1993-96) and Tennessee (1977-92). That followed a standout playing career at Tennessee during which he finished second to Notre Dame’s Paul Hornung in the 1956 Heisman Trophy balloting.
