Safety fee reduction impacts JILLIAN WARD The World

NORTH BEND — The North Bend Police Department stands to lose seven police officer positions and one dispatcher as the city plans to accommodate a reduced public safety fee. On Thursday, the North Bend City Council met in a work session to discuss the proposed budget for 2020-2021. The budget decreased by $785,000 after 58% of voters reduced the public safety fee last month, approving Measure 6-177. The vote brought

the fee down from $30 to $15. The citizen initiative passed after years of discord between the public and the city council as the fee increased on residents’ water bills. In what began at $5 soon became $30, even after a 2018 vote that said “No” to any additional increases. During the work session, City Manager Terence O’Connor said a judge identified that the cuts could only come out of the police department rather than the North Bend Fire Department “even though we placed both of those in the category of

public safety….” When asked about this, O’Connor said he could not comment on ongoing litigation. During the election, The World pointed out that there was no mention in the ballot measure’s summary of firefighters losing personnel and asked why a reduction of the fee would impact fire services. In response to these questions, O’Connor had said, “… the departments are both funded out of the general fund. … As funds get eliminated or reduced, there is a domino effect on how that impacts all of the

operations in the general fund. Police and fire are the preeminent users of tax dollars and fees of the general fund because taxes don’t cover the cost of police and fire….” For the North Bend Police Department to lose seven officers, O’Connor told The World after Thursday’s work session that this would leave 13 officers on staff, adding that this would impact the department’s ability to provide 24-7 coverage. “As it stands now, that which we said in the ballot explanation is what we’re moving forward

with, which is no police services from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.,” O’Connor said. That change will begin July 1 so long as the city approves the budget next Tuesday, June 9. “Clearly it’s not a decision anyone wished to have happen, however voters have decided they wanted to reduce the funding so we’re reducing personnel,” O’Connor said. During public comment at the start of Thursday’s work session, North Bend resident Patty Cook encouraged the city Please see Fee, Page A8

County enters Phase II

Advocates in downtown Coos Bay

ZACH SILVA The World

Amanda Linares, The World

A small group of local advocates in support of Black Lives Matter, a human rights movement founded in 2013 to campaign against violence and systemic racism toward African-Americans, stood near the mural of Steve Prefontaine on Thursday in downtown Coos Bay. The advocates said they wanted to show up in solidarity of black and brown communities and to honor George Floyd, who died last week after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck and kept it there for eight minutes and 46 seconds. His death sparked protest, both nationwide and around the world, to end police brutality.

Thousands march for 7th night PORTLAND (AP) — Thousands of protesters marched for the seventh consecutive night Thursday in Portland, Oregon to decry the death of George Floyd. NBA Portland Trail Blazer star Damian Lillard walked at the front of the crowd arm-inarm with young demonstrators as they crossed the Morrison Bridge over the Willamette River and made their way to a large riverside park for a rally and speeches. Hours later, a smaller group gathered outside the Justice Center but also remained largely peaceful, police said.

Around 1:30 a.m., after most protesters had gone home, several hundred people remained downtown and set fires, engaged in street-racing, threw projectiles and pointed lasers at officers’ eyes, according to the Portland Police Bureau. Officers used a sound device that emits loud, high frequencies to deter those people. Twelve people were arrested, according to police. “For another night, thousands of peaceful demonstrators were able to demonstrate, march, and express their first amendments rights in a safe manner. We thank them once

again for managing a successful event,” said Police Chief Jami Resch. “We will continue to facilitate free speech and assembly and focus efforts on arresting those who engage in criminal activity that reduces our public safety.” At a news conference on Friday, Mayor Ted Wheeler said the money saved by taking school resource officers out of Portland’s schools would be funneled into programs and initiatives to support the city’s underrepresented residents. He also said in response to a question that he would never completely defund the Portland

Police Bureau, but said “everything was on the table” to bring equality to Portland’s black community. “I’ve committed to do anything I can and that includes for people like me being willing to cede both power and privilege. So I would argue that everything is on the table in the pursuit of equality and justice,” Wheeler said. “I’m willing enough to be humble, I’m willing to be in a listening mode rather than a speaking or reactionary or defensive mode and I truly ... want to do what is in the best interest of this community.”

COOS COUNTY — Coos County entered Phase II of statewide reopening on Friday instead of Saturday. On Thursday afternoon, the county was approved to enter into Phase II of statewide reopening for Saturday, in accordance with language from the Governor’s Office that stated counties could open after 21 days of being in Phase I. Some counties were unclear on which day they could reopen. Coos County reached out to the Governor’s Office and received permission to open on Friday. In a letter from Governor Kate Brown addressed to Coos County Board of Commissioners Chair Melissa Cribbins, Brown gave the green light. “Thank you for the effort you, your residents and your public health system have put into containing the spread of COVID-19 in your county. I am pleased to inform you that your county’s application to enter Phase 2 on June 6th has been approved,” wrote Brown. Coos County entered into Phase I of the reopening process on May 15. Entering into Phase II includes the continued opening of swimming pools, spas, tennis courts, bowling alleys, movie theaters in addition to larger gatherings. The Governor’s Office had initially stated that local gatherings could be up to 100 people but this number is subject to change. In the letter to Coos County, Brown then laid out that the goals for this new Phase are much like the initial reopening process. This includes a continued minimization of hospitalizations; allowing people to safely return to work; minimized risk for frontline workers; protecting those at the highest risk; and allowing for small gatherings. “I want to be clear that moving to Phase 2 comes with increased risk. With every restriction lifted we know transmission of the Please see Phase II, Page A8

Ocean Ridge celebrates graduating employees AMANDA LINARES The World

COOS BAY — A special moment for many high school seniors, staff and residents at Ocean Ridge Assisted Living in Coos Bay happened on Wednesday when the facility hosted a small, graduation ceremony for three of its high school employees. According to Bonnie Hribar, of Ocean Ridge, the employees, who are each a part of the Marshfield High School Class of 2020, were dressed in their caps and gowns and honored earlier this week at the facility’s “quarantine graduation.” “We are truly proud to have these three fine young men on our staff,” said Hribar. “We knew they weren’t going to be able to have a traditional graduation this year so we wanted to do something special.” With graduation decorations, gift baskets and staff and residents there to cheer them on as they each walked

Since the new coronavirus spread locally, the residents have had to self-isolate in their rooms where all their meals are delivered too. With weekly happy hours falling on Wednesdays, the high school seniors were able to deliver snacks and beverages to residents who each had a message of encouragement and advice to share with them as they move onto the next chapter of their lives. “It was nice to see the

Coos County records new case of coronavirus ZACH SILVA The World

COOS COUNTY — The 30th positive case of coronavirus in Coos County has been recorded. The latest positive result came on Wednesday night for an individual between the ages of 30 and 50 years old. There have also been two presumptive positive cases in the area. “We have a new case,” said Coos Health and Well-

ness epidemiologist Brian Leon in a press briefing on Thursday. “It’s, yet again, not a typical community case. This individual is admitted at a facility right now for medical reasons and they have been for quite a while.” For this latest case, the individual’s permanent residence is in a different county but they have been in a Coos County hospital for multiple months. The positive test came after a routine symptom

check revealed a fever which led to the test being taken. The question then becomes how does an individual who has not left a hospital for multiple months contract this virus. “… It could not have been anybody but a staff employee or some type of clinician that would have exposed them. So we are in the middle of a pretty significant amount of contact tracing right now to handle some interviews and

Missing Bandon man found safe AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — A Bandon man suffering from dementia who went missing Thursday afternoon was found safe and unharmed more than 100 miles from his home Thursday evening, following a search that involved multiple agencies. The Coos County 911 Center received information regarding a missing person on Thursday evening. Robert “Bob” Ellsworth Dearth, 78, was last seen in the area of his residence on Two Mile Lane south of Bandon at about 2:45 p.m. He was described as 5 feet, 6 inches, 150 pounds, grey hair, blue-green eyes and wears glasses and wearing tan Carhartt pants, a grey Bass Pro jacket, green vest and black slip-on shoes. A press release from

Bob Dearth the Coos County Sheriff’s Office said Dearth may have been carrying a flowered pillowcase and that he had no ID or wallet with him. Dearth has dementia, but can remember his address and name, the release stated. The Coos County Sheriff’s, along with Coos County Search and Rescue, including a K9 officer, Bandon Police Department, Bandon Fire Department and local family and residents were actively searching for Dearth. His

stepdaughter posted on social media asking for help and the post was shared hundreds of times, with tips coming in from people who reported they had seen Dearth walking on Two Mile Lane, or hitchhiking on U.S. Highway 101. A couple people reported having seen him near Elk River Road. Finally, a call came in from a gas station in Crescent City at about 9:30 p.m., confirming Dearth was there. His family immediately set off to pick him up while the Del Norte Sheriff’s Office transported Dearth to their facility until family arrived. Dearth is the husband of Gina Dearth, longtime Port of Bandon general manager, now retired. Bob Dearth was harbormaster for the Port of Bandon for more than 15 years, after retiring as a commercial fisherman based out of Crescent City.

working with that facility. Really just doing everything we have to do to ensure that there is a small risk of spread to other patients and other staff,” said Leon. Leon noted that there are over 50 people on a list of people to contact to help determine the level of exposure and if individuals showed symptoms. The only known symptoms so far for the individual that tested positive was a fever. In this hospital setting, patients also have some contact with one another. “I think it would be called a congregate setting. It’s just that, it’s a diverse setting as far as some people might only be there for a day, some people might be there for a few days,” said Leon. “That would be more of the congregate setting type scenario where there is intermingling in common areas and that they have but not as far as where they sleep, unlike say the dorms in Shutter Creek.” Shutter Creek Correctional Institution was the location of an initial outbreak of the

coronavirus in Coos County. Twenty-five adults in custody tested positive while two employees of the facility also recorded positive tests; one employee was a presumptive positive. Elsewhere in the county a woman with no connection to the correctional facility tested positive while the person she lives with was considered a presumptive positive. Most recently there was a positive test for a man with underlying health conditions who experienced symptoms approximately two months before receiving a positive test. For this latest positive test, Coos Health and Wellness is looking to limit the spread as much as possible. “We’re going backwards to consider who may have been the one that brought the bug in to infect the patient but we’re also considering the fact that any person that’s positive, we consider them to be potentially infectious for two days before their symptoms started going forward until symptom resolution plus 72 hours,” said Leon

who stated that the individual is currently in isolation. “So we are going to be asking anybody that was around this patient and was a contact of this patient’s two days before their symptom onset or later, we’re going to be asking that they isolate outside of work.” Despite being in a hospital, it does not appear that this particular case will count as a hospitalization. “They’re not hospitalized because they have COVID. Their acute illness has nothing to do with COVID,” said Leon. This latest positive came the day before Coos County was approved to enter into Phase II of the state’s reopening process. Coos Health and Wellness reminded that precautions still need to be examined as this reopening occurs. “We’re going to stress we’re not out of the woods until probably well into the vaccine stage of it,” said Eric Gleason of Coos Health and Wellness. “We’re going to be having that as a constant reminder.”

75 YEARS June 6, 1945 Coos Budget Group Wrestles With Proposed Expenditures

COQUILLE, June 6 — (Special) — Demands on nearly every side for more county expenditures in the next budget year, 1945-1946, were being checked here today by the constitutional six percent limitation as the county’s budget committee wrestled with proposed expenditures for the next 12 months. Higher salaries, added personnel, a $13,000 estimated increase in the county’s share of handling Bang’s disease, were among increased items the county’s budget makers faced as they began their three-day chore. Holding the ceiling, however, on possible county outlays for the coming year was the legal prohibition of making any tax levy exceeding six percent of the highest levy for any of the preceding three tax years. For the county that meant $279,000 is the highest legal levy for 1945-1946, a bare $15,000 beyond the maximum charge for general county expenses raise by real property taxes in 1944-1945.

The 17-year-old was last seen at her home before a long trend of shorter absences turned into a more permanent situation. “She had been running away continuously for a long period of time,” Cheryl said.

Hit-and-run prompts OSP investigation

Two vehicles collided Friday afternoon on U.S. Highway 101 at milepost 221 near Lakeside. No one was injured in the crash, but one of the drivers left the scene, prompting an investigation by the Oregon State Police. An OSP press release on Monday said John L. Prozialeck, 67, of Reedsport, was driving his vehicle north on the highway when he attempted to turn around. A northbound pickup truck struck Prozialeck’s vehicle. The crash was reported at 12:28 p.m. and troopers arrived on the scene at 12:50 p.m. The release said the driver of the truck left the scene in a small gray car driven by a female. --------------------------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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shame on the City of Coquille I am sure like me, you are watching the protests and police actions around the nation with concern. The death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department was a long overdue wakeup call for millions of Americans; for our African-American citizens, it was another sad reminder that they are too often treated as second-class citizens. Let us be clear, these protests against police brutality and racism are justified. Yes, we saw looting and rioting during this uprising, while I do not condone the violence, I understand it. However, the armed overreaction that occurred (Tuesday) in Coquille in response to internet rumors is a frightening reminder that we have a long way to go. I received calls from my City of Coquille friends in alarm last evening after they were alerted by telephone of an imminent “invasion” by Antifa. This phone message originated from the Coos County Sherriff’s Department and sent out by the City of Coquille; they claim to have had reliable sources to the possibility of rioting and looting in Coos County. To what purpose does an unorganized movement of anti-fascist have in visiting Coos County where 85% of our population are white? Have we had mass movement protests shutting down our streets? On the other hand, perhaps what really happened was a mass movement of Trolls on social media trying to whip up a Boogaloo and the Sherriff’s Department fell for it. As a citizen, I want to know what information was used to send out these alarming calls that elevated the anxiety and fear within our local community and caused armed citizens to gather like a posse in our public spaces? Why is the Sherriff’s Department so embedded with extreme right wing agitators? Can you even imagine what

this posse must have looked like to our neighbors and citizens of color? I say shame on the City of Coquille, the Coos County Sherriff’s Department and those “friends of liberty” who gathered to intimidate free speech; our elected officials need to be held accountable for this outlandish and undemocratic behavior. It is so ironic that those purporting to love freedom are the first to gather to limit and intimidate the freedoms of those looking to be part of the solution. The uprising for justice for George Floyd will affect every community within America; Coos County is not off to a good start! Bryan Duggan Coos Bay Impressed with local Empire 7-Eleven Although we don’t have any school-aged kids, I was so impressed when I saw that our local Empire 7-11 store was handing out free lunches daily from 11-noon to any child 18 years or younger. Kudos to store owner Bill Huffman for caring more about the welfare of his community than in his own pocket! Joanne Moss North Bend

This is not yet 1968 This is not 1968. At least not yet. The parallels come easily: Protestors are marching, police cars are burning, vandals are looting. Turmoil and tear gas pour through our streets. Fifty-two years ago, Richard Nixon, the Republican nominee for president, portrayed himself as the “law and order” candidate -- the same phrase used by this year’s GOP standard bearer, Donald Trump. Trump’s appeal to his MAGA minions clearly echoes Nixon’s evocation of a “silent majority,” a political force that helped keep Republicans in the White House for 20 of the next 24 years. But there are also some important differences between 2020 and 1968. I was a young reporter that year for The New York Times, covering many of the major events that tore the country apart: the antiwar rebellion that forced Lyndon Johnson to abandon the presidential race; the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy; the occupation of Columbia University; the riots at the Democratic convention in Chicago. And that perspective leads me to a number of reflections and impressions. In 1968, Nixon was the challenger, not the incumbent. He could blame all the chaos on Johnson and the Democrats. And he had a clear shot at embracing the most powerful of all American political slogans: “It’s Time for a Change.” Trump can’t do that. Not even close. He’s more like Johnson than Nixon. He has to take responsibility for the state of the country -- and by every measure, a majority of Americans are disappointed with his leadership. The NPR/Marist poll recently asked, “Who is doing a better job handling the coronavirus

STEVEN V. ROBERTS pandemic: President Trump or your governor?” By 2 to 1, voters favored their governor. Only 38% told the ABC/Washington Post survey that the president “understands the problems of people like you,” while 61% disagreed. In an average of all national polls, Trump’s favorable rating stands at 42.5% versus 54.5% unfavorable: the worst performance of any president since polling began about 75 years ago. The differences between 1968 and 2020 go well beyond politics. King and Kennedy, who were shot barely two months apart, rank as two of the most iconic figures of mid-century America. Their losses shattered the soul and spirit of the nation and still resonate today. The death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman is a deeply tragic and significant event, but to compare it to the killings of King and Kennedy defies and distorts history. Then there were the underlying tensions already disrupting American life that boiled over after the assassinations, beginning with Vietnam. The Tet Offensive that started in January 1968, and eventually cost about 4,000 American lives, turned public opinion against the war. It led to years of civil strife between the forces of order and disorder; hard hats and long-

hairs; old and young. Because of the war and the draft, privileged young Americans felt -- for the first and perhaps only time -- that their futures, indeed their very lives, were threatened by government leaders and policies. Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread hardship and dislocation. And yes, the Floyd killing has revealed what Joe Biden has called the “open wound” of American racism. But do those feelings, as valid and powerful as they are, rival the elemental passions that drove the antiwar movement? I have my doubts. Holding a sign that says “I Can’t Breathe” is not the same as holding a low draft number. Finally, there were the cultural forces unleashed and amplified by 1968: sex, drugs and rock and roll. In the years that followed, as the Times bureau chief in Los Angeles, I whiffed a lot of tear gas on college campuses, and a lot of marijuana as well. The antiwar movement might have petered out as a political force -- after all, Democrat George McGovern, running against the war, won exactly 17 electoral votes in 1972. But the culture was changed forever. Elvis Presley starred in three movies in 1968, and the Beatles released the White Album, which included songs like “Revolution 9” and “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road.” And by 1968 -- after the Supreme Court rolled back state laws that regulated contraception for married couples in 1965 -- more than 13 million women worldwide were on the pill. This year is not yet half over. But it has a long way to go before it matches the enduring impact of 1968. (Steven Roberts teaches politics and journalism at George Washington University.

Judith “Judy” Lynn Partney June 1, 1934 – June 1, 2020

Judith was born June 1, 1934, in Tillamook, Oregon, only daughter of Ovie Brown and Elsie Faye (Proebstel) Brown and passed June 1, 2020, in Coos Bay. A private burial service will be held at Sunset Memorial Park, Coos Bay on Monday, June 8, at 1:00 p.m. Judy was raised in Hebo, Oregon and graduated in 1952 from Nestucca High

School in Cloverdale, Oregon, and went on to attend business college in Portland, Oregon. Judy married Robert “Bob” Partney, Dec. 19, 1953 in Tillamook. They have five children, Tracey, Scott, Nancy, Bobbi and Steven. Judy and Bob loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting. Her family spent summers camping near Crane Prairie in cen-

tral Oregon. One memorable summer included a 7-day, 45mile backpacking adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Three Sisters Wilderness area. Retirement years were spent traveling the U.S. in an RV. Together, they worked 10 summers in Fishing Bridge, Yellowstone National Park, living and exploring the area. They routinely spent winters in Arizona with summers in the park, as well as time in Glacier National Park. Later, after working as campground hosts in the Cascade Lakes area near Bend, they eventually returned to their home in Coos Bay. Judy lived a healthy lifestyle and was an avid daily walker.

Dr. Niels LeRoy (Roy) Martin February 6, 1943 – May 21, 2020

Services were held Friday 29 May, 2020 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado with Burial at Webber Cemetery in Mancos Colorado on Saturday 30 May, 2020. Dr. Niels LeRoy (Roy) Martin was born February 6, 1943 to Jim and Oda Martin in Eugene, Oregon. Current resident of Arvada, Colorado, Roy, passed away peacefully at Wheat Ridge, Colorado on Thursday May 21, 2020 at 11:45 pm. His dear wife Janice was at his side. Roy was the third of seven boys who were later joined by a sister. Blessed with a father who was a logger and trapper, and a mother who was quite handy with a rifle or hunting knife, he grew up in the woods and learned in his youth to trap, hunt, fish and fell trees — mostly on the Oregon Coast. As a young adult, Roy served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints amongst the Indians of Oklahoma and then returned to Port Orford, Oregon where he met and married his sweetheart, Janice Bushnell. Together they worked toward his earning both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Range Management while simultaneously starting a family. During his professional

career, Roy worked in many locations in the Western United States and around the world, particularly in the Middle East and Africa. Later in his career, he became Dr. Martin when he received his Ph.D. in Forestry, Wildlife and Range Management from the University of Idaho. Throughout his career, he led various development programs for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) — culminating in a five-year assignment in Pakistan. From Pakistan, Roy returned to his beloved Oregon with his wife Janice, then eventually settled in Colorado to be near children and grandchildren. Roy was a stalwart member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, holding many positions of responsibility both at home and abroad, including serving as the senior church authority in three different countries. Later in life, Roy and his wife, Janice, served a mission for their church in Nova Scotia, Canada during which time he was severely injured from a fall. Through his determination and perseverance, he overcame great odds and recovered sufficiently to focus on family,

church service and family history. Roy is survived by his wife, Janice Martin of Arvada, Colo.; children, Niels R. (Julie) Martin of Lantana, Texas; Eric S. (LeAnn) Martin of Aurora, Colo.; Leah S. Martin of Arvada, Colo.; Karen R. (Conrad) Acosta of Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands; siblings Alvin, Kenneth, Thomas and Dawn; four grandsons (Zachary, Niels Tanner, Spencer, Ethan); seven granddaughters Madison (Mark), Katherine (Barrett), Elise (McLean), Annie, Lauren, Avery, Eva); and one great-granddaughter, Bonnie. Roy was preceded in death by his parents, James Kenneth and Oda Petersen Martin and brothers Peter, Daniel and William. His family shares Roy’s firm conviction that Families are Forever and are so excited that he has been reunited with them.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren Mom fears history will repeat for daughter marrying young DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced for 18 years. The main reason for my divorce was that I married too young and wasn’t ready to be a wife and mother. My daughter has just announced her engagement to a truly wonderful man, but she’s only 19. I want to support her, but I’m afraid she’s making the same mistake I did. I have tried talking to her about it, but she is sure she is making the right decision. I am tight on money now, and I don’t want to pay for an expensive wedding if it’s going to be a waste later on if my daughter gets a divorce. But I do want to be by her side and support her during one of the most important times of her life. What should I do? -- EXPERIENCED MOM DEAR MOM: Your daughter already knows you’re concerned about her marrying so young and the reasons why. Ultimately, this is her decision -- or mistake -- to make. Explain that you won’t be able to contribute financially to her wedding because money is tight right now, but that you are there to support her emotionally now and forever. Tell her, too, that many successful marriages begin at a courthouse, and you wish her better luck than you had. DEAR ABBY: My wife of 38 years passed away a year and a half ago. My ex-wife, to whom I was married for 14 years, and who is the mother of our adult kids, is single again after four failed marriages. She’s making overtures about getting together again. She is assertive, likes to spend and was very jealous. At my age, I could use the help, but it would require selling my house and moving several states away. She’s really pushing, but I’m just not sure. It would be nice to have someone around because I am lonely. She is a neat lady, but I just don’t know. Help! -- PROPOSITIONED IN THE MIDWEST DEAR PROPOSITIONED: Surely you can find someone to fill your loneliness other than a woman you divorced

for at least two solid reasons. I have four words of advice for you: When in doubt -- DON’T! Your common sense is fueling your ambivalence. Please pay attention to it. At most, maintain a long-distance friendship with her. DEAR ABBY: During a recent trip to the supermarket, I noticed a couple in their 50s who were shopping for produce. The woman picked up eight different avocados before selecting one. (I counted.) The man touched three different bags of oranges before placing one in their cart. This was repeated with each item they shopped for! I considered asking them to stop touching the food, but I didn’t want a confrontation. How would you have handled this? Can you please encourage your readers to minimize what they touch for the sake of public safety? -CONCERNED SHOPPER DEAR CONCERNED: I would have handled it by talking about it to the store manager. In California, signs are posted asking customers to please handle merchandise as little as possible, and shoppers are encouraged not only to wear masks and practice social distancing while shopping for groceries, but also to wear gloves. Once you bring your groceries home, you should wipe them down, and ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly for the recommended 20 seconds. ---------------------------------------Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Access restored to BLM day use sites The World NORTH BEND — The Bureau of Land Management reopened several day use sites in Coos County for recreation on Thursday. The sites were closed due to concerns about spreading the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19.

Black Lives Matter protest in Bandon

Amy Moss Strong, The World

A small group gathered peacefully at the corner of U.S. Highway 101 at the intersection with state Highway 42S on June 3 and again on June 4, with a few more people, to voice their support for the Black Lives Matter protests going on around the country following the death of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis during an arrest by a white police officer. The officer has been charged with second-degree murder over the incident.

Coquille fire extinguished quickly CHERYL UPSHAW The World

COQUILLE — A small fire occurred Thursday afternoon at Roseburg Forest Products in Coquille. According to fire officials, the fire involved a Wagner log loader, a large vehicle used for moving logs. It is unknown why the

loader caught fire. Coquille Fire Department responded with two engines and a water truck. Myrtle Point Fire Department also responded. It took crews about 45 minutes to put it out. Willy Burris, Assistant Fire Chief at MPFD said there was no damage to the wood or surrounding log yard, but that there was

extensive damage to the vehicle. The fire was relatively small, considering its location. There was no lost inventory, according to fire officials, with the possible exception of the vehicle itself. The fire did not spread. There were no injuries to employees or fire personnel. CFD Firefighter Sam

Flaherty said he was “just glad everyone’s safe.” Roseburg Forest Products’ Corporate Communications Director, Rebecca Taylor, expressed gratitude for the help from fire agencies. “We always support the assistance from our local fire department and we appreciate them coming out,” she said.

Oregon has two new COVID-19 deaths, 97 new cases The World PORTLAND — COVID-19 has claimed two more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 161, the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. Friday. The Oregon Health Authority reported 97 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Friday, bringing the state total to 4,570. On Thursday, there were 76 new confirmed

and presumptive cases of COVID-19, but no deaths. The new cases reported Friday are in the following counties: Benton (5), Clackamas (6), Deschutes (1), Douglas (1), Hood River (9), Jefferson (9), Klamath (1), Lincoln (4), Linn (3), Malheur (1), Marion (17), Multnomah (12), Umatilla (1), Wasco (3), Washington (20), Yamhill (4).

Oregon’s 161st COVID-19 death is a 96-year-old woman in Marion County, who tested positive on May 31 and died June 3, at Salem Hospital. She had underlying medical conditions. Daily case count is higher Friday’s COVID-19 case count marked the third highest daily count since the onset of the pandemic in Oregon, with 97 presumptive and confirmed cases reported to OHA. That brings the total for the past three days to 238 reported cases. The higher numbers are tied to several factors including the availability of more widespread testing, increased contact tracing, and active monitoring of close contacts of cases, according to OHA. There have been an increase in the number of household cases associated with a confirmed case. Workplace outbreaks are another source of the higher numbers. Many of those are seasonal facilities and many are following public health recommendations by offering testing to their employees, OHA reported.

Although the numbers are higher, the overall rate of infection remains among the lowest in the U.S. “But higher case counts serve as a reminder that Oregonians need to continue to maintain physical distancing, wear face coverings where physical distancing cannot be maintained, avoid large gatherings, and follow good hand hygiene,” the OHA press release stated. Active workplace outbreak reported An outbreak of five cases of COVID-19 has been reported at Amazon Aumsville in Marion County. The investigation started on May 21. State and county public health officials are working with the business to address the outbreak and protect the health of workers. The risk to the general public from this outbreak is considered low. People who have symptoms of COVID-19 or concerns about risk of exposure, should contact their health care provider. Additional information for this outbreak will be

added to the COVID-19 Weekly Report for Wednesday, June 10. In that weekly report and going forward, OHA will disclose workplaces that have reported past outbreaks of COVID-19, along with all active outbreaks. OHA published the first list of workplaces in the June 3 weekly report. OHA to institute weekend reporting changes to COVID-19 Daily Update Also beginning this weekend, Saturday, June 6, OHA will no longer include a link to the Oregon COVID- Daily Update in the daily news release. The updates will be published Mondays through Fridays. Relevant data collected during the weekends will be included in each Monday’s update. The daily news release for weekend days also will no longer include the county case count of new confirmed or presumed COVID-19 cases. To see more case and county level data, please visit the Oregon Health Authority website, which OHA updates once a day: www.healthoregon.org/ coronavirus.

I’m Tom Moore, CPA. Here are a few personal things about me... 1. I’m a senior, and I recently fell in love with Coos Bay and Bandon and the Southern Oregon coast – just as my son Josh, his wife Johanna and their golden retriever Floyd did when they moved to Bandon five years ago. 2. I grew up in Park Ridge, a little suburb of Chicago, and graduated from the University of Illinois. I came out to the west coast right after college because I so disliked those harsh Midwestern winters. 3. I spent a few years in the advertising business, but then discovered my true calling – to be an accountant. At age 30 I got my MBA degree and became a CPA. 4. I spent seven years with a big CPA firm where I learned all the ins and outs of the auditing, accounting and tax

business. But I eventually decided that being a partner in a very large firm was not for me, and I opened my own CPA practice. 5. Now, for over 30 years, I’ve helped my clients save a lot of money – and I want to help you save some, too – including getting you the lowest income tax possible. 6. I understand entrepreneurs and can talk your language. I deliver creative, pragmatic advice about all aspects of your tax and accounting issues. I’m your problem-solver – I’d like to be your new CPA. 7. One of the things I love about Coos Bay is that I can go to Charleston and pick up fresh fish – any day of the week. Maybe I’ll see you there!

If you are less than satisfied with the tax and financial help you’ve been getting, call or e-mail me. Chances are you just found the CPA you’re searching for. The CPA. Never underestimate the value.

Buffalo officers suspended after man is shoved BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Prosecutors were investigating Friday after a video captured police in Buffalo shoving a 75-yearold man who then fell and cracked his head, a confrontation that resulted in the suspension of two officers. Video from public radio station WBFO of Thursday night’s encounter, which happened near the conclusion of protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, quickly sparked public outrage and a protest by city police who felt the officers were being mistreated. It shows a man identified as Martin Gugino approaching a line of helmeted officers holding batons as they clear demonstrators from Niagara Square around the time of an 8 p.m. curfew. Two officers push Gugino backward, and he hits his head on the pavement. Blood spills as officers walk past. One offi-

executing orders,” said John Evans, Police Benevolent Association president, according to WGRZ. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said contingency plans are in place “ensure public safety.” Additional state troopers will be in the city through the weekend to assist Buffalo police, according to a state police spokesman. And Brown said they are working with other agencies. “I want people out in our community to know that people peacefully protesting will be protected,” Brown said at a news conference Friday. Protests are expected to continue nationwide over the death of Floyd — a black man who died after a white police officer pressed a knee on his neck for several minutes. Gugino was hospitalized and was “alert and oriented,” according to a Friday morning tweet by Erie County Executive Mark

Poloncarz. Poloncarz at a briefing later in the day wished Gugino a “speedy recovery” and said the encounter “created a black mark, a stain on the city of Buffalo.” The police commissioner suspended two police officers without pay, said Brown. The district attorney’s office “continues to investigate the incident,” officials said in a news release, but the victim could not talk to investigators Thursday night. Gugino is a retiree who lives by himself in the area, say friends who describe him as a veteran peace activist driven by his faith and a desire for social justice. He is involved with the Western New York Peace Center and Latin American Solidarity Committee, said Vicki Ross, the center’s executive director. “I can assure you, Martin is a peaceable person,”

Ross said. “There is no way that he was doing anything to accost or hurt. He made a judgment to stay out after the curfew because he feels that our civil liberties are so in danger, which they most certainly are.” His Twitter timeline includes tweets and retweets supportive of progressive causes and critical of police. One tweet from Wednesday read: “The cops should not have clubs. And should not be in riot gear. The National Guard should arrest the police.” Ross said Gugino has been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. “It doesn’t surprise me that Martin was standing there looking at these young cops in the eye,” Mark Colville of the Amistad Catholic Worker said of his longtime friend. “It almost looked like he was reaching out to them, trying to shake their hand or say, `What’s going on? Why are you doing this?’”

Buffalo police initially said in a statement that a person “was injured when he tripped & fell,” WIVBTV reported, but Capt. Jeff Rinaldo later told the TV station an internal investigation was opened. “I will be the first to say that initial communication was a breakdown, it was an error,” said Brown, the mayor. The office of state Attorney General Letitia James tweeted that officials there were aware of the video. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer called for an investigation, according to a statement reported by WIVB-TV. “The casual cruelty demonstrated by Buffalo police officers tonight is gut-wrenching and unacceptable,” John Curr, the Buffalo chapter director for the New York Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement, adding that it should be a “wake-up call” for city leaders to address police violence.

Portland won’t have police in schools anymore PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon’s largest school district will no longer have police officers in its schools and joins a handful of urban districts from Minneapolis to Denver that are rethinking their school resource officer programs amid national outrage over the death of George Floyd. Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero said Thursday that Portland Public Schools needed to “re-examine our relationship” with the police in light of protests over the death of Floyd, a handcuffed black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into his neck for nearly nine minutes. The district of more than 49,000 students joins Min-

neapolis, which severed ties with its school resource officers on Tuesday. Districts in St. Paul, Minnesota and Denver are considering doing the same. Protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, have made the end of the school resource officer program in their district one of their demands. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said Thursday that he would also discontinue using school resource officers in two smaller metropolitan districts under a program that costs the city $1.6 million a year. The move is in response to the demands of thousands of protesters, many of them young, who have filled the streets of Oregon’s largest city for six consecutive nights. Having

the officers in high schools has been a touchy topic for several years in this liberal city. Students have protested in recent years for an end to the program, at one point even overwhelming a school board meeting. “Leaders must listen and respond to community. We must disrupt the patterns of racism and injustice,” Wheeler said Thursday of the most recent demonstrations. “I am pulling police officers from schools.” The presence of armed police officers in schools is a contentious one. While many Portland residents applauded the decision, others raised immediate concerns about student safety in the event of a school shooting or other emergency. Wheeler said the city would make

sure officers could respond rapidly in an emergency. The move is “a knee-jerk reaction,” and the decision by a few districts to stop their programs could snowball — to the detriment of students nationwide, said Mo Canady, executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers, whose association represents about 10,000 dues-paying officers. There are an estimated 25,000 school resource officers nationwide, he said. “What happened last Monday is atrocious. I don’t know how someone who wears a uniform, like I used to do, could get to that point. That’s evil,” Canady said of Floyd’s death. “But ... I think there’s some shortsightedness here.

When it’s done right, the SRO program really is the epitome of community-based policing. I hate to see the baby thrown out with the bathwater.” Beyond their law enforcement role, the model for school resource officers endorsed by the U.S. Justice Department enlists them also as mentors, informal counselors and educators on topics ranging from bullying to drunk driving with the goal of promoting school safety. But critics of the concept say the officers’ presence can also lead to the criminalization of students, particularly students of color, who may be labeled as troublemakers for things such as not paying attention in class, using a cellphone

or other minor infractions. In 2015, a school resource officer in South Carolina was caught on video flipping a female student to the floor and dragging her across a classroom after she refused to surrender her cellphone. Nationwide, 43% of public schools had an armed law enforcement officer present at least once a week in the 2015-2016 school year, the last time the National Center for Education Statistics released data on this topic. Properly trained officers work closely with school administrators, Canady said. Generally there is an understanding that anything short of illegal activity should be handled by school officials, he said.

Twitter, Facebook take down campaign video (AP) - Twitter has blocked a Trump campaign video tribute to George Floyd over a copyright claim, in a move that adds to tensions between the social media platform and the U.S. president, one of its most widely followed users. The company put a label on a video posted by the @TeamTrump account that said, “This media has been disabled in response to a claim by the copyright owner.”

The video was still up on President Donald Trump’s YouTube channel and includes pictures of Floyd, whose death sparked widespread protests, at the start. “Per our copyright policy, we respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives,” Twitter said in a statement. It did not say who made the complaint. The Burbank, California lawyer who

requested the takedown, Sam Koolaq, declined to identify his client or the copyright violation in the video. He said in an email that he also submitted takedown notices to YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Facebook, which owns Instagram, took the video down later on Friday. “We received a copyright complaint from the creator under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and have removed the post,” Facebook said in a

Police chief apologizes after video sparks complaints

SALEM (AP) — The police chief in Salem, Oregon, has apologized after video showed one of the city’s police officers speaking with armed men about curfews that critics say shows authorities treated the men with weapons differently than other protesters. Like other cities, Oregon’s capital instituted evening curfews during protests over the killing of George Floyd. In the video a Salem police officer tells the armed group to get off the sidewalks before police start enforcing the curfew. He said they needed to leave the sidewalk but could be inside a business or inside their vehicles so “it doesn’t o welcome look like we are playing favorites.” This week Salem Police Chief Jerry Moore said in a video address to citizens that this was the first time a curfew has been instituted in the Street city. As for the video, Moore said he understands that some people feel authorities anstanley.com were holding certain groups to different standards. “For that I tell you I am sorry,” Moore said, adding that the officer had not been “fully briefed” in how to enforce curfews during the

cer leans down to check on the injured man before he is urged along by another officer. Gugino and the officers all appear to be white, but details of their backgrounds were not released. “Why? Why was that necessary? Where was the threat?” asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo at his daily briefing Friday. The governor said he spoke to Gugino, who had been hospitalized in serious condition. “It’s just fundamentally offensive and frightening. How did we get to this place?” The confrontation raised concerns about more possible flare-ups in Buffalo this weekend, especially after city officers resigned en masse from the police squad charged with crowd control. The resigning officers are not leaving their jobs. “Fifty-seven resigned in disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply

demonstrations. Moore said that in the future all police who enforce curfews will be fully briefed before going on patrol. “We understand the feelings of fear that large

groups of people openly carrying firearms in our city can create,” the chief said. “Though they gather under the guise of protecting the city, that is our responsibility, not theirs.”

statement. YouTube did not respond to a request for comment. The three minute and 45 second clip is a montage of photos and videos of peaceful marches and police officers hugging protesters interspersed with some scenes of burning buildings and vandalism, set to gentle piano music and Trump speaking. Last month, Twitter placed fact-check warnings on two tweets from Trump’s own account

that called mail-in ballots “fraudulent” and predicted problems with the November U.S. elections. Under the tweets, there is now a link reading “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” that guides users to a Twitter “moments” page with fact checks and news stories about Trump’s unsubstantiated claims. It also demoted and placed a stronger warning on a third Trump tweet about Minneapolis protests that read, in part,

that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” Twitter said that the tweet had violated the platform’s rules by glorifying violence. Trump responded by threatening to retaliate against social media companies. Last year, Twitter also removed a Trump tweet that featured a doctored Nickelback music video clip that took aim at former Vice President Joe Biden, after receiving copyright complaints.

Seattle mayor to ban tear gas for next 30 days SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle mayor has banned the police use of tear gas as protests continue in the city and nationally over the killing of George Floyd. Mayor Jenny Durkan said in a news conference Friday afternoon that the ban would continue for 30 days. The move came hours after three civilian police watchdog groups urged city leaders to do so to build public trust and until the department adopts policies and training for the use of the chemical agent. “After hearing concerns about the use of CS gas for crowd control purposes earlier this week ... we decided we were going to suspend its use for 30 days,” Police Chief Carmen Best said. During that time, the

Community Police Commission, the Office of Police Accountability and the Office of Inspector General for Public Safety will review and update crowd control policies, including deadly force techniques such as neck and choke holds, Best said. She and the mayor added that the ban could be extended if groups need more time for policy review. SWAT team members who are specially trained can continue to use tear gas in the meantime in what she called “life safety” situations and only under her authority, Best said. Protests Wednesday and Thursday were among the largest Seattle has seen in years. But authorities reported only minor problems following days of unrest in which police

used tear gas and pepper spray and some people smashed windows and burned police vehicles. Best said that rocks and bottles were thrown at officers during protests Thursday night but officers showed restraint. One officer was taken to a hospital for treatment after the projectiles were thrown, she added. “I think the last two days have shown that you can have very large demonstrations in two parts of the city and that they can be conducted in peace and without any confrontations with police,” Durkan said. The Seattle area’s largest labor group also said this week it will expel the Seattle Police Officers Guild later this month unless the union admits that racism is a problem in law

enforcement and agrees to address that problem in negotiating its next contract with the city. The Martin Luther King Jr. County Labor Council passed a resolution Thursday as protests continue in Seattle and nationally over the killing of Floyd last week in Minneapolis. The resolution attributes policing problems to systemic racism. It called on the Seattle police union to acknowledge that or be thrown out of the umbrella group of more than 150 unions and 100,000 workers that wields tremendous power in greater Seattle politics. The labor council’s resolution Thursday specifically mentioned contracts between police and the city. It said the police union must participate in an effort “dedicated to

promoting safety within our community and within law enforcement by addressing racism within SPOG … and ensuring that contracts do not evade legitimate accountability.” Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan declined to comment Thursday to The Seattle Times. In tweets Thursday, the police union thanked people for increasingly peaceful protests and said officers and protesters are part of the same community “and there are people with loved ones, frustrations and hope for the future on both sides of the line.” Early Friday, Solan posted a video on Twitter set to dramatic music that shows “Kill cops” graffiti and a statement that says Floyd’s death is in oppo-

sition to everything the guild stands for. Later in the video, Solan is heard telling KIRO radio of an officer who broke their ankle during the protests and that “there’s a faction of anarchists who are tragically stealing the peaceful protesters’ message against police officers.” “I am fearful that this will spin out of control,” is the last thing he says on the video. It ends with the message, “We’re with you Seattle” Floyd, a black man, died after a white police officer pressed his knee on his neck for almost nine minutes, not lifting it after Floyd stopped moving and pleading for air. That officer and three colleagues were fired and now face criminal charges in the death.

Phase II

for your county to move to the next phase.” On Wednesday afternoon Cribbins said that individuals should get used to being in this new phase. “For us I think it means is that this is as normal as things are going to get until there is a cure,” she said. “And the Governor’s Office has

been pretty clear on that. They don’t think that anybody is going to enter Phase III until there is a vaccine.” Coos County has reported 30 positive cases of coronavirus in addition to two presumptive positives. After a stagnation of cases, the latest positive case was reported on Wednesday. This new

case offered a reminder that vigilance is still necessary as businesses continue to open up. “We’re going to stress we’re not out of the woods until probably well into the vaccine stage of it. We’re going to be having that as a constant reminder,” said Eric Gleason of Coos Health and Wellness on

Thursday. Cribbins stressed the same message. “That’s the biggest risk that everyone will let their guard down and go back to how they’re used to behaving and then we’ll have an outbreak. Being in Phase I, Phase II is a very fluid concept as far as the state is concerned. So we’ve contin-

ued to remind people that we don’t get into Phase II and stay here forever, if we get an outbreak it is possible that we have to go back to Phase I,” she said. “We have to continue social distancing and washing our hands and avoiding giant gatherings of people. That’s really all we can do.”

issue of resolving this thing.” O’Connor told Cook it would cost North Bend $250,000 in savings to make this happen, adding that back when the unified call center was being discussed “North Bend was all in.” “In fact,” he said, “that time that year we banked on the fact that was going to happen. We’re willing to go back….” Union representative for the North Bend Police

Department, Cory Finnigan, made a statement during public comment, looking back on alleged improvements seen in the community as a result of having more police officers. He said during the 2017 contract negotiations, when there was reduced staffing, one of the items of concern was the heavy reliance on overtime in the department. The contract negotiations also covered issues of “employees working

six days a week, (employees who) could not take regular time off, the dangers of an out of balance work life and the adverse impact on the wellbeing of employees and ability to effectively carry out duties,” he said. Finnigan pointed out likely problems of returning to the staffing model seen four years ago, including problems seen in 2013 to 2016 when a 36% increase in overtime was reported in the de-

partment. There was also a 28% increase in paid time off accruals due to the inability to schedule days off. He added that in 2013, the department saw 16,000 calls for service and in 2019, it saw over 23,000 calls for service. Meanwhile, Steve Carlson commented, identifying himself as one of the department’s new officers who moved to the South Coast from 2,000 miles away. “You start cutting

police and public safety goes out the window,” he said. “Is that going to entice people to live in North Bend? As a parent … that concerns me.” “We’ve gone through I don’t know how many iterations and ways to come up with solutions for this particular problem,” O’Connor told the council. “At this point, this is where we are.” The budget will be considered for approval next week.

This call center would be between the police departments of North Bend and Coos Bay, as well as the Coos County Sheriff’s Office. “I spoke a little with the Coos County part and it seems they would be willing,” Cook said. “Not sure about Coos Bay, but that would be part of the

MLB, players not close to agreement NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball players reaffirmed their stance for full prorated pay, leaving a huge gap with teams that could scuttle plans to start the coronavirus-delayed season around the Fourth of July and may leave owners focusing on a schedule as short as 50 games. More than 100 players, including the union’s executive board, held a two-hour digital meeting with officials of the Major League Baseball Players Association on Thursday, a day after the union’s offer was rejected by Major League Baseball. “Earlier this week, Major League Baseball communicated its intention to schedule a dra-

matically shortened 2020 season unless players negotiate salary concessions,” union head Tony Clark said in a statement. “The concessions being sought are in addition to billions in player salary reductions that have already been agreed upon. This threat came in response to an association proposal aimed at charting a path forward.” “Rather than engage, the league replied it will shorten the season unless players agree to further salary reductions,” Clark added. Players originally were set to earn about $4 billion in 2020 salaries, exclusive of guaranteed money such as signing bonuses,

termination pay and option buyouts. The union’s plan would cut that to around $2.8 billion and management to approximately $1.2 billion plus a $200 million bonus pool if the postseason is completed. MLB last week proposed an 82-game season with an additional sliding scale of pay cuts that would leave a player at the $563,500 minimum with 47% of his original salary and top stars Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole at less than 22% of the $36 million they had been set to earn. Players countered Sunday with a plan for a 114-game regular season with no pay cuts beyond

the prorated salaries they agreed to on March 26. That would leave each player with about 70% of his original pay. MLB rejected that Wednesday, when Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem wrote in a letter to union chief negotiator Bruce Meyer informing him “we do not have any reason to believe that a negotiated solution for an 82-game season is possible.” “Nonetheless, the commissioner is committed to playing baseball in 2020,” Halem said in the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press. “He has started discussions with ownership about staging a shorter season without fans.”

Management officials have said they are considering a slate of perhaps 50 games or fewer. There has not been a schedule averaging fewer than 82 games per team since 1879. “The overwhelming consensus of the board is that players are ready to report, ready to get back on the field, and they are willing to do so under unprecedented conditions that could affect the health and safety of not just themselves, but their families as well,” Clark said in a statement. “The league’s demand for additional concessions was resoundingly rejected.” Please see Baseball, Page B3

The NBA took a major step toward getting back on the court Thursday, with the league’s Board of Governors approving a 22-team format for restarting the league season next month at the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida. The vote was 29-1, with Portland casting the dissenting vote, said a person with knowledge of the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the league did not publicly release voting details. The National Basketball Players Association has scheduled a meeting for Friday to vote on the plan. Teams would arrive at Disney around July 7 and play an eightgame slate of games starting July 31 at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex. All teams will stay, practice and play at Disney and the NBA Finals — which would have started Thursday if not for the coronavirus pandemic that caused the NBA to suspend its season on March 11 — will likely stretch into October. “The Board’s approval of the restart format is a necessary step toward resuming the NBA season,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “While the COVID-19 pandemic presents formidable challenges, we are hopeful of finishing the season in a safe and responsible manner based on strict protocols now being finalized with public health officials and medical experts.” The eight-game slate — it’s unclear if they will be classified as regular season games — will help determine playoff seeding. From there, the league could have a play-in tournament for the final spot in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference postseason fields. “While there is still work to be done, we applaud all the effort and collaboration that has gone into finding a safe, competitive format,” Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said. “It has always been our feeling that sports have the ability to bring people together and we look forward to restarting the NBA season while using that platform to drive meaningful social impact at this period of time.” There are numerous other details to continue working through, including finalizing specifics of what the testing plan at Disney will entail and calculating the financial ramifications of playing fewer games. Another person, also speaking to AP on condition of anonymity because the details of the ongoing talks have not been publicly released, said the NBPA and the NBA are working on “lengthy” medical protocols.

Marshfield senior Taylor Londo, with her parents Jason and Michelle Londo, will play volleyball for Southwestern Oregon Community College.

MHS seniors to play sports in college JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — A number of Marshfield athletes scheduled to graduate today will continue their athletic careers next school year in various colleges. Some are headed to community colleges including SWOCC. Others are heading to four-year schools in Oregon or other regional states. All are looking forward to the chance to continue their athletic careers. A trio of the athletes are staying in town, heading to Southwestern Oregon Community College. Taylor Londo will join the volleyball team for the Lakers after a strong senior season for the Pirates last fall. “I’m very excited to play college volleyball, even moreso because I get to play with my

best friend, Makenna Anderson,” Londo said. “We are so excited to represent our hometown and continue our volleyball career.” Londo will study kinesiology at SWOCC. Anderson, like Londo, was an all-star for the Pirates, a stellar libero. They also were the team’s co-captains. “I chose (SWOCC) because it was close to home and wasn’t a big school,” she said. “I’ll be playing volleyball for the Lakers and it will make the college experience 100 times better. “I cannot wait to meet the other girls from out of state who are coming to SWOCC to play in the fall as well.” Londo plans to study business management and accounting on the way to getting an appraisal license.

Kaepernick has more support, a long way to go ROB MAADDI

Associated Press

When Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to take a stand against police brutality and racial injustice in 2016, he was mostly alone. Politicians, team owners and fellow players criticized him, fans burned his jersey, and he was booed even at home. Four years later, his protest is widely viewed as prescient. Global opinion has shifted so much that more people are now vilifying those who attack Kaepernick or misrepresent his stance. New Orleans Saints star quarterback Drew Brees issued a public apology Thursday after he was excoriated by teammates,

other athletes and fans for saying he “will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States.” That sentiment has been voiced loudly by Kaepernick’s critics and President Donald Trump reiterated it Friday, saying on Twitter: “I am a big fan of Drew Brees. I think he’s truly one of the greatest quarterbacks, but he should not have taken back his original stance on honoring our magnificent American Flag. OLD GLORY is to be revered, cherished, and flown high... We should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart. There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag - NO KNEELING!”

Still, George Floyd’s death, which ignited nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality, awakened many people to the root of the issues that led to Kaepernick’s peaceful demonstration — an expression meant to raise awareness of such issues, not demean the flag or the anthem. The 32-year-old Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016. “The protest is really trying to hold us accountable for the things we say we believe in. It’s about equality and justice for all,” said Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills, who has been taking a knee since Week 1 of the 2016 season. This week, San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Kaeper-

nick deserves respect and admiration for starting the protest. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll praised him for his courage and sacrificing his career. Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy compared Kaepernick to Muhammad Ali. “There’s a lot of parallels between Colin and my father,” said Ali’s daughter, Khaliah. “He stands 100 percent with integrity no matter the cost. He made an unwavering commitment for the betterment of his people and took an unapologetic stance against injustice. I have had many people attempt to discourage our support of Colin, which is unthinkable to me. He is a friend to our family, he is loved and honored.” Please see Kaepenick, Page B2

Standout Marshfield swimmer Kady Cooley will swim for SWOCC starting next fall.

Athletes From B1

Kady Cooley will be joining SWOCC’s successful swim program. “Swimming for SWOCC is a really exciting opportunity for me,” Cooley said. “Swimming is such an important part of my life and I’m very grateful for the scholarship and all the help I’ve had along the way. “Even though SWOCC is a transitional stepping stone for me, I’m sure I will enjoy the experience, especially since I get to be part of such an amazing team. I intend to make the most of this opportunity and try as hard as I can to improve myself.” Cooley will pursue a teaching degree with the hopes of becoming a health and physical education teacher. Cooley will join Marshfield teammate Zach Randle competing for the Lakers. He earlier announced his commitment to the Lakers. A pair of Marshfield seniors are heading to Umpqua Community College in Roseburg.

Ryan Knight will join the Riverhawks’ baseball program. “I’m looking forward to continuing playing baseball at a higher level,” Knight said. “I’m very grateful and I’m excited for my peers and me.” Knight feels sorry for the athletes like himself who missed out on their spring sports, though. “My senior year was the same as the rest of the class of 2020 who got robbed of some of the most precious moments in life,” he said. “I enjoyed it the best I could, but wish it could be different.” Knight plans to study water resource management. Also headed to Umpqua is Marshfield wrestler Peyton Forbes. Forbes will study construction management. Another Marshfield wrestler, Tandy Martin, earlier announced plans to wrestle for Southern Oregon University. Other Marshfield athletes will be going to four-year schools. Josiah Niblett is headed to the Portland area to attend Lewis & Clark College.

Kaepernick From B1

Jacob Ali-Wertheimer, the 21-year-old grandson of the boxing legend, is a human and civil rights leader on Harvard University’s campus. He is encouraged because more folks support Kaepernick’s movement but realizes there’s a long way to go. “A lot of people don’t want to address race in this country. We don’t have a real dialogue on the issue,” Ali-Wertheimer said. “It’s something we try to hide and push away, and because we don’t confront it, I think that’s why both of them were ostracized in the

beginning, and I think it’s wonderful that people are coming along now to what Colin said. “But we need to get to a point where people can understand and listen and appreciate his message from the beginning moving forward.” The NFL and its teams have voiced their support for equality and called for change. In a video released Thursday night, 2018 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and several of his peers asked the league to “condemn racism and the systemic oppression of black people” and “admit wrong in silencing players from peacefully protesting.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell did so in a

Ryan Knight will play baseball for Umpqua Community College. “I’m stoked to be able to play football at the collegiate level,” he said. “I’m excited to move on from high school, but I do wish senior year would have turned out differently. “I want to thank all my friends, family, coaches and teachers who have helped me get to where I am now.” Arturo Ledesma also will play football, at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. “I chose Southern Oregon University because of the family friendly environment,” he said. “I believe SOU is the best place for me. “I think getting a shot at the next level is a blessing. Not a lot of high school athletes get an opportunity to play at the next level, so it is definitely something special and is going to be a great lifetime experience.” Ledesma will study sports medicine. Kaylee Delzotti will also stay in state, heading to Linfield College in McMinnville to run track and cross country. “I am excited to be continuing my passion of running at Linfield and be able to set new goals for the future and stay determined to achieve them,”

Delzotti said. “I am also excited to meet new people and teammates. “I am sad that school and track were canceled this spring. However, I have been able to adapt to the changes and overcome the disappointments by looking to the future. Delzotti plans to study biochemistry and molecular biology. Hannah Mork is headed to Montana. “I am really excited about attending Carroll College,” she said. “I didn’t originally plan to do cheerleading in college, but it’s kind of hard to imagine life without it. “Collegiate cheerleading is much different than high school, so I have a whole new road ahead of me.” And Henley Cleveland will continue his baseball career at College of the Redwoods in California. “I am thankful for the opportunity to play at the next level of sports,” he said. “I am excited for the new adventures and memories I will gain from it.” Cleveland plans to study environmental engineering.

video released Friday. “We, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people,” Goodell said. “We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the National Football League, believe black lives matter. I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much needed change in this country. Without black players, there would be no National Football League. And the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality and oppression

of black players, coaches, fans and staff. We are listening. I am listening, and I will be reaching out to players who have raised their voices and others on how we can improve and go forward for a better and more united NFL family.” Shanahan, who became coach of the 49ers after Kaepernick’s last season with the team, had strong words on the topic. “I think people understand it so much more now than they did three years ago and I’m all for protests. I’m all for change,” Shanahan said. “What’s different now and then, it’s embarrassing to say, probably, but I think white people are more passionate about it

now than then. That’s our ignorance and that’s what upsets black people. They have every right to be upset because they haven’t just been telling us this the last few weeks. They’ve been telling us this since our grandparents, and I’ve been hearing it from every one of my friends since I was 14. Then I hear Champ Bailey talking about it in his Hall of Fame speech. It’s all the time and it’s too long. Whatever’s got to get changed, let’s do it.” Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan said the global pandemic has given people more time to think about race issues. “Back then it was just made about one situation, about the military, and that’s what everybody was focusing on,” Trevathan said. “I’ve got people in my family that fought for America in the military, different branches. So it wasn’t about that. It was about something bigger than that issue. It was about police brutality and the way we treat people. Right now, I feel like we are taking a different stand because people are sick of it.” Kaepernick still wants

an opportunity to play. A workout in Atlanta last November that was organized by the NFL turned chaotic and resulted in no job offers. “Colin is a talented football player,” Seahawks star Russell Wilson said this week. “I remember playing against him; the man could play some football. But he stood up for something far more greater than football. And that’s people’s lives. He was standing up for people that have come and gone and for everyone who is African American and the oppression that has been going on.” Stills, former Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid and Miami Dolphins wideout Albert Wilson continued supporting Kaepernick’s fight by taking a knee during the anthem last season. “The boos in the stadium, people yelling to stand up, telling me to leave the country, death threats, hate mail, hate on social media was alarming,” Stills says about the pushback he has faced. “Still can’t understand the amount of hatred toward somebody basically asking everyone to feel compassionate about others.”

IndyCar is set to start season FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Things are starting to feel a little more normal for Ed Carpenter with IndyCar finally about to start its season, though the timing still has him a bit out of sorts. The only owner-driver in the series surely isn’t alone feeling that way. “One of the weirdest things, I’ve been doing this so long, knowing the (Indianapolis) 500 is in August, it still feels like it’s going to be in May even though we’re in June,” Carpenter said. “It feels a whole lot more like March now that we’re getting started.” IndyCar opens its season delayed by the pandemic with an all-in-one-day show Saturday on the fast, high-banked 1 ½-mile oval at Texas Motor Speedway, more than eight months after the 2019 finale. The 24 drivers will practice, qualify and race for the first time with new protective windscreens on the cars, all in a span of 9-10 hours in front of empty stands. “It’s going from a complete standstill to one of the fastest tracks on our schedule, so hopefully everybody has got their wits about them,” Ryan Hunter-Reay said. “It’s definitely an interesting scenario to go straight to Texas.” Texas was scheduled

again to be the midpoint race of the season, the ninth of 17, with the Indianapolis 500 among the eight races before that and then eight more afterward. Only Indianapolis Motor Speedway has hosted IndyCar races longer than TMS, which has had races each year since opening in 1997, including the season finales from 1999-2004. Now Texas is the opener, with 200 laps instead of the usual 248, while the Indy 500 will be run Aug. 23 and there are three doubleheader weekends. Texas, Iowa and Laguna Seca in Monterrey, California, are the only tracks that kept their original dates, though second races were added to those other two venues. IndyCar gets started nearly three months after the teams were already in St. Petersburg, Florida, before the scheduled March 15 race was called off and the season put on hold because of the escalating pandemic. St. Pete will now host the season finale Oct. 25. NASCAR resumed its season with five Cup Series races in a 15-day span, events without spectators that drew solid television ratings. This weekend, NBC will broadcast an IndyCar race in prime time for the first time, providing

an opportunity for some first-time viewers of the open-wheel series at the site of some of its fastest races and closest finishes. “It’s like watching jet fighters in a gymnasium,” said defending IndyCar champion Josef Newgarden, who gave Team Penske another win at Texas last June. “Texas is one of these places where you get these really intense battles with these jet fighter-looking cars. ... It’s just a very fun, intense battle, which turns into a bit like a dogfight.” James Hinchcliffe will be part of the season opener and Tony Kanaan unexpectedly gets to extend his record streak of consecutive starts. Hinchcliffe put together a three-race deal with Andretti Autosport that includes the Indianapolis 500 after he abruptly lost his ride with Arrow McLaren last year. He landed enough sponsorship from Genesys, the title sponsor for Saturday’s race. Kanaan is closing out his IndyCar career with the “TK Farewell Tour,” racing at oval tracks and the Indianapolis 500. He has started 317 consecutive races since June 2001, and that streak would have ended had the season started as planned on the streets

of St. Pete. “Obviously, I was ready for that (to end) in March,” Kanaan said. “While you’re doing it, you don’t realize how big of a deal it is. Now I do value it more because it comes to an end.” Five-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon is second on the career list with 258 consecutive starts, ahead of Marco Andretti’s 234. Conor Daly will have #LiveLikeChris on his helmet to honor his friend, Chris Beaty. The Indianapolis native and former Indiana University offensive linemen was one of two people fatally shot in downtown Indianapolis last weekend during violence that followed protests over the death of George Floyd. A memorial scholarship fund has been created in Beaty’s name. “Chris was a pretty close friend of mine. Obviously what’s going on now is just tough to see no matter who you are,” Daly said. “I just wanted to say something because just how good of a person he was. I didn’t want to dive in to anything and create any big story about it or anything. I just felt like he deserved some words. Obviously he was out there trying to help protect some people who were getting robbed.”

IndyCar-NASCAR twin bill won’t have fans INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Motor Speedway will host the IndyCar-NASCAR doubleheader on the July 4 weekend without fans. Track officials had been optimistic IMS could be the first major sporting venue to have fans back in the stands this summer. Instead, the stands will be empty much like the rest of the tracks since major racing resumed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. IMS officials announced the decision Thursday after consulting with local and state officials.

“While we certainly worked diligently to run our events with spectators, we reached a point where we needed to make a final decision because the race weekend is less than a month away,” said Mark Miles, who oversees the IndyCar Series as president of Penske Entertainment Corp. “Today it’s not possible to be confident that Indianapolis will be at Stage 5 of the state’s reopening plan by the Fourth of July weekend.” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced a five-stage plan last month to reopen the state with

the final phase tentatively scheduled to include a return to sporting venues on July 4 -- the very day an IndyCar-NASCAR Xfinity Series doubleheader is scheduled to run at the sprawling track. Marion County -- - home to Indianapolis, the state’s largest city - only recently entered the third stage. IMS draws upward of 275,000 people for the Indy 500, the world’s largest single-day sporting event that this year was postponed three months to Aug. 23. In recent years, Brickyard weekend attendance for the NASCAR

visit has waned. Last year’s estimated crowd of 60,000 was an improvement over 2018. But with approximately 235,000 permanent seats at the speedway, there could be plenty of space for fans to be socially distanced should the restrictions loosen. NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 is still set for its original date of July 5 on the historic 2.5-mile oval. NASCAR resumed its season May 17 at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina. IndyCar is set to open the season Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Memorial will have fans, with governor’s approval DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine approved a plan for Muirfield Village Golf Club to have at least some fans for the Memorial in July, which would make it the first PGA Tour event with a crowd since the tour was shut down March 13 by the coronavirus. DeWine announced the decision Friday. He said on Twitter that casinos, racinos, amusement parks and water parks will be able to open on June 19. “In addition, we received safety plans for the Memorial Golf

The details will be shared with teams once those discussions are completed, which will be long before they arrive at Disney, the person said. “The NBA is taking all the appropriate measures, and working tirelessly to provide a safe environment for our team and staff,” the Dallas Mavericks said in statement. While working to finish this season, the league also has made decisions on next season — with the draft lottery rescheduled for Aug. 25, the draft on Oct. 15 and opening night for the 2020-21 campaign is tentatively set for Dec. 1. The G League also announced Thursday that it canceled the remainder of this season. The 22 Disney-bound clubs would play somewhere between 71 and 75 games before the playoffs begin, down from the customary 82-game slate. The teams who didn’t qualify for the restart will see their seasons end after having

Tournament to be held July 13-19,” he wrote. “We are approving that plan.” The PGA Tour resumes its schedule next week at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. That is to be followed by the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, the Travelers Championship in Connecticut and the Rocket Mortage Classic in Detroit. The tour said the opening four events would not have spectators. The John Deere Classic was the first possibility for fans until it decided last week to cancel this year’s event. It was replaced by another tournament, also to be held at Muirfield

Village, only without spectators. The Memorial said it would have more details later. In a statement, the Memorial praised DeWine and his staff and said it would work with state, county and city leaders to use the tournament “as an example of how public gathering events can be developed and implemented with approved and accepted protocols in place” Dan Sullivan, the tournament director of the Memorial, had been planning on different scenarios on returning from the COVID-19 pandemic

depending on state and local governments. Sullivan told the Greater Columbus Sports Commission last month about inserting chips into tournament badges to know how many people are congregating in different areas of the golf course. DeWine said the Memorial, parks and casinos “have come up plans that reduce the number of people, provide for sanitation, and in some cases, provide for one-way traffic. “They are elaborate plans that we believe are consistent with protecting the public,” DeWine said on Twitter.

played somewhere between 64 and 67 games. Roughly 15% of what would have been the full NBA regular season won’t be played, which means players stand to lose around $600 million in salary. How that process will work is among the issues that the league and union are still working to solve. But one of the biggest hurdles is now cleared, in an NBA season like none other. The league is planning for the same playoff rules as usual, that being every round utilizing a best-of-seven format. The 22-team plan includes all teams that were holding playoff spots when the season was stopped, plus all other clubs within six games of a berth. Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston and reigning NBA champion Toronto had already clinched playoff berths. Now with only eight games remaining for each team, it means that eight other clubs — Miami, Indiana, Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Clippers, Denver, Utah, Oklahoma

City and Houston — have postseason spots secured, and Dallas virtually has one as well. That leaves nine teams vying for three remaining playoff berths. In the East, Brooklyn, Orlando and Washington are in the race for two spots. In the West, Memphis, Portland, New Orleans, Sacramento, San Antonio and Phoenix will jostle for one spot. If the gap between eighth place and ninth place in either conference is four games or less when the eight-game slate ends, those teams will play off for the No. 8 seed. The team in ninth place would have to go 2-0 in a twogame series to advance. “There is still much work to be done, but we are excited to be able to return to the court,” Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard said. For Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, Golden State, Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago and Charlotte, the season is over. The Knicks will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, the third-longest

current drought in the league behind Sacramento and Phoenix — who still have chances of getting into the playoffs this season. “While we are disappointed for our team and our fans that our season is coming to an end, we understand and accept the league’s plan to move forward with 22 teams,” Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas said. “It is important that we be a good teammate not only to the NBA, but to the other 29 teams to support the efforts to complete this season and prepare for next season in a healthy and safe manner.” And with the Hawks done, it also means Vince Carter has likely played the final game of his 22-year NBA career — the longest in league history. Carter, the first player in NBA history to appear in four different decades, plans to retire. He appeared in 1,541 NBA games, behind only Robert Parish (1,611) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,560) on the all-time list.

NASCAR announces another wave of races CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR’s AllStar Race will be a midweek event on July 15 at Charlotte Motor Speedway as part of a new revision to the schedule that runs through the first weekend of August. NASCAR already has rescheduled races through June 21 and the update released Thursday begins the next weekend at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania. The track will host ARCA, the Truck Series, two Cup Series races on consecutive days, June 27-28, and the Xfinity Series. NASCAR will then move to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a July 4 weekend event combined with the IndyCar Series. Then it is on to Kentucky Speedway, the All-Star Race and then Texas Motor Speedway. Kansas Speedway will host the Cup Series for a Thursday night race July 23. New Hampshire will host the Cup Series on Aug. 2 in the final event announced in this latest revised schedule. NASCAR canceled eight points races in the Cup Series and the All-Star Race during a 10-week shutdown for the coronavirus pandemic. NASCAR has so far run nine national series events — five in the Cup Series — since it resumed May 17 without spectators. NASCAR made no mention if spectators will be allowed at any of the events — Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Kentucky and Pocono all said Thursday their events would not have fans, while Kansas said

it is currently not expecting spectators. NASCAR senior leadership has not been available for public comment since May 17.

OSU dismisses football player CORVALLIS (AP) — Oregon State has dismissed a tight end after a recording surfaced of the player making racist and bigoted comments some three years ago. Upon learning of the comments made by redshirt freshman Rocco Carley, Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith took the matter to athletic director Scott Barnes. “We both agreed this language and attitude is entirely unacceptable, regardless of circumstance or environment. I spoke with Rocco and dismissed him from the team. I will not tolerate rac-

ism or hate speech,” Smith posted on Twitter. Carley issued an apology on social media after the recording went public on Wednesday. “I am truthfully sorry to everyone I have hurt and offended, and I understand that I have not represented me or my family in any positive way during this situation,” he said. “To all of my brothers, teammates and everyone of color that I have associated with, I hope that you know me well enough to know I am in no way shape or form a racist. Again I apologize, and I could not be more ashamed of my actions.”

The World

Biden clinches Democratic nomination WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden formally clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Friday, setting him up for a bruising challenge to President Donald Trump that will play out against the unprecedented backdrop of a pandemic, economic collapse and civil unrest. “It was an honor to compete alongside one of the most talented groups of candidates the Democratic party has ever fielded,” Biden said in a statement Friday night, ”and I am proud to say that we are going into this general election a united party.” The former vice president has effectively been his party’s leader since his last challenger in the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders, ended his campaign in April. But Biden pulled together the 1,991 delegates needed to become the nominee after seven states and the District of Columbia held presidential primaries Tuesday. Biden reached the threshold three days after the primaries because several states, overwhelmed by huge increases in mail ballots, took days to tabulate results. Teams of analysts at The Associated Press then parsed the votes into individual congressional districts. Democrats award most delegates to the party’s national convention based on results in

individual congressional districts. Biden now has 1,993 delegates, with contests still to come in eight states and three U.S. territories. The moment was met with little of the traditional fanfare as the nation confronts overlapping crises. While Biden has started to venture out more this week, the coronavirus pandemic has largely confined him to his Wilmington, Delaware, home for much of the past three months. The country faces the worst rate of unemployment since the Great Depression. And civil unrest that harkens back to the 1960s has erupted in dozens of cities following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died when a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air. It’s a confluence of events that no U.S. leader has faced in modern times, made all the more complicated by a president who has at times antagonized the protesters and is eager to take the fight to Biden. “This is a difficult time in America’s history,” Biden said Friday night. “And Donald Trump’s angry, divisive politics is no answer. The country is crying out for leadership. Leadership that can unite us. Leadership that can

bring us together.” Biden’s strong showing Biden spent 36 years in in states such as North the Senate before becomCarolina, Virginia, Tennesing Barack Obama’s vice see and Texas reinforced president.

Trump claims victory as economy shows rebound

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump effectively claimed victory over the economic crisis and COVID-19 on Friday as well as major progress against racial inequality, heartily embracing a better-than-expected jobs report in hopes of convincing a discouraged nation he deserves another four years in office. In lengthy White House remarks amid sweeping social unrest, a still-rising virus death toll and Depression-level unemployment, the Republican president focused on what he said was improvement in all areas. He was quick to seize the positive jobs report at a time when his political standing is at one of the weakest points of his presidency less than five months before the general election. Just 2 in 10 voters believe the country is headed in the right direction, a Monmouth University poll found earlier in the week. The president also addressed the protests, which have calmed in recent days, that followed the death of George Floyd, the black man who died last week when a white police officer knelt for minutes on his neck. Claiming improvements everywhere, Trump said, “Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country. ... This is a great, great day in terms of equality.” Trump condemned “what happened last week,” said no other president has done as much for black Americans, and declared that an economic rebound was “the greatest thing that can happen for race relations.” Putting words in the dead man’s mouth drew quick criticism, including from likely presidential foe Joe Biden, who said it was “despicable.” The Trump campaign

said any reports saying Trump was contending Floyd would be praising the economic news were “wrong, purposefully misrepresented, and maliciously crafted.” A few blocks away, city workers painted a huge “Black Lives Matter” sign on 16th Street leading to the White House. Politically, few things matter more to Trump’s future than the state of the U.S. economy, which was all but shut down by state governments this spring to prevent greater spread of the deadly coronavirus. Defying health experts, the president has aggressively encouraged states to re-open and has assailed state leaders by name who resist. At the same time, he’s taken an uneven approach to explosive racial tensions in the wake of Floyd’s death. As he has in recent days, Trump on Friday offered a sympathetic message to Floyd in one breath and lashed out at protests in his name the next. Local governments “have to dominate the streets,” Trump said. “You can’t let what’s happening happen.” The president spoke in the Rose Garden after the Labor Department said that U.S. employers added 2.5 million workers to their payrolls last month. Economists had been expecting them instead to slash 8 million jobs in continuing fallout from the pandemic. The jobless rate, at 13.3%, is still on par with what the nation witnessed during the Great Depression. And for the second straight month, the Labor Department acknowledged making errors in counting the unemployed during the virus outbreak, saying the real figure is worse than the numbers indicate. Still, after weeks of dire predic-

tions by economists that unemployment in May could hit 20% or more, the news was seen as evidence that the collapse may have bottomed out in April. Friday’s report made for some tricky reaction gymnastics for Trump’s Democratic election opponent, Biden, who sought to contrast the improving figures with the fact that millions of Americans are still out of work. The high jobless rate, he said, is due to the Trump administration mishandling the response to the pandemic. “Let’s be clear about something: The depth of this jobs crisis is not attributable to an act of God but to a failure of a president,” Biden declared in a Delaware speech shortly after Trump spoke. The presumptive Democratic nominee said Trump was patting himself on the back as America faces some of its sternest challenges ever. “It’s time for him to step out of his own bunker, take a look around at the consequences,” Biden said. It’s unclear how many jobs that were lost as a result of the pandemic are permanently gone or whether the reopenings in states will create a second surge of COVID-19 deaths. In addition, the report from midMay doesn’t reflect the effect that protests across the nation have had on business. Many economists digging into the jobs report saw a struggle ahead after the burst of hiring last month. Friday’s report reflected the benefits of nearly $3 trillion in government aid instead of an organic return to normal. Only one of every nine jobs lost because of the pandemic has been recovered, and the specter of corporate bankruptcies hangs over the recovery.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr says law enforcement officers were already moving to push back protesters from a park in front of the White House when he arrived there Monday evening, and he says he did not give a command to disperse the crowd, though he supported the decision. Barr’s comments in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday were his most detailed explanation yet of what unfolded outside the White House earlier this week. They come after the White House and others said repeatedly that the attorney general ordered officers to clear the park. Shortly after officers aggressively pushed back demonstrators, President Donald Trump — accompanied by Barr, Pentagon leaders and other top advisers — walked through Lafayette Park to pose for a photo at a nearby church that had

been damaged during the protests. The episode played out on live television and prompted an outcry from some Republicans and former military leaders, including Gen. Jim Mattis, Trump’s first defense secretary. Barr told the AP that much of the criticism was unwarranted and that Mattis’ rebuke was “borne of ignorance of the facts.” Still, administration officials have spent much of the week trying to explain how the situation escalated and why smoke bombs, pepper balls and police on horseback were needed to clear the largely peaceful crowd. Earlier in the week, White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany told reporters it was Barr who made the decision to push back the security perimeter outside the White House on Monday morning. McEnany said that when Barr arrived at Lafayette Park later that day to survey the secu-

rity situation, he was surprised to see that action had not yet been taken. “So he said that we needed to get going with moving that perimeter. He told the officers that out there,” McEnany said Wednesday. A person familiar with the matter also said earlier this week that Barr told law enforcement to take action to move the perimeter when he arrived in the park. On Friday, Barr told the AP that both he and U.S. Park Police were in agreement on the need to push back the security perimeter. He said he attended a meeting around 2 p.m. Monday with several other law enforcement officials, including Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham, where they looked at a map and decided on a dividing line. Under the plan, the protesters would be moved away from Lafayette Park and federal law enforcement officials and members of the National Guard would maintain the perimeter line, Barr said.

Barr denies giving order to clear protestors

But Biden must ensure that black voters are motivated to show up to the polls in November, especially in critical swing states that narrowly went for Trump in 2016. At one point, the Democratic primary included dozens of candidates of different races, genders and generations and an openly gay man. The contest was dominated by debate over unapologetically progressive ideas, including fully government-funded health care under “Medicare for All” and a sweeping proposal to combat climate change known as the “Green New Deal.” Biden prevailed by mostly offering more moderate approaches that he argued would make him more electable against Trump. He refused to budge on his rejection of universal health care and some of the Green New Deal’s most ambitious provisions to combat climate change. Since clinching the nomination, however, Biden has worked to build his appeal among progressives, forming joint task forces with Sanders’ campaign to find common ground on key issues like health care, the economy and the environment. Biden has also embraced a plan to forgive millions of Americans’ student debt, meaning that he clinches the nomination as easily the most liberal standard

bearer the Democratic Party has ever had. Biden’s embrace of his party’s left flank could help him consolidate a Democratic base that remained deeply divided after the 2016 primary and ultimately hurt Hillary Clinton in her defeat to Trump. But it could also undermine Biden’s attempts to rebuild the Obama coalition, which is often loosely defined as minorities and young people, as well as educated Americans and some working-class voters. The former vice president has sought, since announcing his candidacy, to cast the election as a battle “for the soul of the nation,” and promised to restore order and dignity to the White House while rehabilitating the U.S. image on the world stage. Such an approach, though, necessarily focuses on being more of an alternative to Trump than offering radically new political ideas. And that further underscores Biden’s difficult task of trying to unite his party’s base while appealing to voters from far beyond it. “I am going to spend every day between now and November 3rd fighting to earn the votes of Americans all across this great country,” Biden promised Friday, “so that, together, we can win the battle for the soul of this nation, and make sure that as we rebuild our economy, everyone comes along.”

Trump trades jabs with Maine governor GUILFORD, Maine (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday laced into Maine’s Democratic governor for not moving quickly enough to reopen the state’s economy and urged his supporters to help him win the rest of the state in November if they want to see the country rebound from the coronavirus shutdown. Referring to Maine’s electoral votes, Trump said: “Get that other half to go with Trump.” He spoke in the small town of Guilford, home to Puritan Medical Products, one of only two major companies producing a special type of swab needed to ramp up coronavirus testing. At stops in Guilford and Bangor, Trump used his first visit to the state as president to lob jabs at Gov. Janet Mills for not reopening businesses more quickly. Trump won just one of Maine’s four electoral votes in 2016. “When are you going to open the state up?” Trump demanded as he spoke at Puritan Medical Products. “What’s she doing?” Earlier in Bangor, Trump compared Mills to a “dictator” and said she was preventing her state from reaping money from Maine’s busy summer tourist season. “She’s going to destroy your state,” he said. “I’m not a fan.” Mills responded with a lengthy rebuttal. “Yesterday, I asked the president to check his rhetoric at the door and to lead us with courage and compassion through this difficult time,” she said. “Sadly, but unsurprisingly, he continues to prove himself incapable of doing so.” “What Maine people heard today was more of the same incendiary rhetoric and insults he uses to try to divide us and to stoke tension and fear. What Maine people heard today was largely devoid of fact and absent of reality. What Maine people saw today was a rambling, confusing, thinly veiled political rally.” She rebuffed Trump’s claim that Maine remained shuttered by the virus, saying 13 of Maine’s 16 counties have been reopened and that the

state was the first in New England to allow indoor dining at restaurants. Ahead of Trump’s visit, Mills had urged him to cancel the trip because of security concerns given the civil unrest over the death of George Floyd and Trump’s heavy-handed response to protests. During Trump’s call earlier this week with governors, Mills criticized him for urging governors to “dominate” protesters and toss perpetrators of violence in prison and for his administration’s move to forcibly clear out peaceful protesters near the White House so the president could walk to a nearby church to pose for photos holding up a Bible. Trump’s caravan rolled through Guilford during the searing heat of the afternoon, drawing cheers from supporters and “boos” from detractors. The crowd alternated between “Black Lives Matter!” and “We Love Trump!” chants as his limousine approached. There was some shouting back and forth among the factions, but the crowd was peaceful. Trump did not reference Floyd or the protests during his stops in the state. Supporters heavily outnumbered anti-Trump demonstrators in Guilford. But there were numerous other anti-Trump demonstrations around the state, and some organizers had dissuaded protesters from coming to Guilford. That didn’t stop Pam Chamberlain of Brewer from coming to Guilford with a sign that said “The Bible Is Not A Prop.” She said it was important for opponents of Trump and police brutality to have a presence. “I said, I need to go down there and represent the people who are afraid to be there,” she said. “And maybe the people who are afraid to come out of their house right now.” Paul Layman drove more than two hours from the Portland area to support the president and let protesters know what he thinks of them. He said rural Maine supports Trump because of his work on the economy. “I’m just tired of all these losers and their stupidity,” Layman said.

With doubledummy play including finessing the spade eight on the second round of the suit, the contract could have been made, but at the table, it was not.

Then she led a fourth heart, ruffed by West's spade nine and overruffed by dummy's queen. Deas (South) cashed the spade king, played a spade to her eight, took the spade ace and ran the club jack.

Trump allows fishing in conservation area

The World

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — President Donald Trump rolled back protections Friday at a marine conservation area off the New England coast, signing an order to allow commercial fishing in a stretch of water environmentalists say is critical for endangered right whales and other fragile marine life. “We are reopening the Northeast Canyons to commercial fishing,” Trump told a roundtable meeting with fishing industry representatives and Maine officials. “We’re opening it today.” The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off the New England coast, created by former President Barack Obama, was the first national marine monument in the Atlantic Ocean, and one of just five marine monuments nationwide. The conservation area comprises 5,000 square miles (8,000 square kilometers) east of Cape Cod, which contains vulnerable

species of marine, such as fragile deep sea corals and endangered right whales, which number only about 400. The whales are susceptible to ship strikes and entanglements in fishing gear. It’s also a place fishermen have long harvested lobsters and crabs, and its creation drew the ire of commercial fishing groups, some of whom sued. Trump said Obama’s establishment of the conservation area and banning fishing “was deeply unfair to Maine lobstermen.” “We want conservation and good environmental practices — that’s very important — but we also want something that’s fair to you,” he told the fishermen. Environmental groups vowed to push back against the president’s actions. Trump’s decision will devastate protections for the underwater world along that stretch of New England, and threatens the end for right whales and other endangered marine animals, said

Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity environmental group. “Gutting these safeguards attacks the very idea of marine monuments,” she said. The action comes a day after the equally sweeping rollback and proposed rollback of public health and environment protections by the Trump administration. On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order directing agencies to look for ways to override environmental laws to push big projects like highways and pipelines to completion. And the Environmental Protection Agency proposed changing the rules for crafting air pollution limits under the Clean Air Act, in a way critics say will make it harder to move against dangerous pollutants in the future. Trump has made a priority of annulling or weakening public health and environmental regulations — especially ones enacted

under Obama — that he sees as overly burdening business. Conservative groups and lawmakers have urged him to keep up the pace as his first term draws to a close. On Friday, however, Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said Trump should be tackling bigger problems for the state’s fishing businesses rather than “reopening the debate” on the marine national monument. Janet Mills, Maine’s Democratic governor, dismissed the president’s actions, saying it’s “not going to help the vast majority of Maine fishermen feed their families. It will not support an industry that is struggling under the massive weight of an unprecedented pandemic and misguided federal policies.” Rolling back protections for the marine monument “is part of the Trump administration’s continued assault on environmental protections,” Elizabeth Turnbull

US to allow limited flights by Chinese airlines Associated Press The Trump administration said Friday it will let Chinese airlines operate a limited number of flights to the U.S., backing down from a threat to ban the flights. The decision came one day after China appeared to open the door to U.S. carriers United Airlines and Delta Air Lines resuming one flight per week each into the country. The Transportation Department said it will let Chinese passenger airlines fly a combined total of two round-trip flights per week between the U.S. and China, which it said would equal the number of flights that China’s aviation authority will allow for U.S. carriers. Delta praised the U.S. government for trying to “ensure fairness and access to China.” United said it was reviewing the matter. Neither said whether the latest development in the dispute between the two countries

would affect their plans. Both had hoped to offer more flights. The Transportation Department said it might further ease restrictions if China does the same. Officials are concerned, however, about conditions China is imposing that could affect whether U.S. airlines resume their flights. Those requirements include taking temperatures of all passengers in mid-flight and suspending an airline’s future flights if five or more passengers test positive for the coronavirus after arriving in China. China’s embassy in Washington did not respond to messages seeking comment. The dispute between Washington and Beijing over airline service has been building for weeks and is part of broader trade and diplomatic tension between the world’s two biggest economies. In early January, there were more than 300 flights per week between the

two countries, but international carriers reduced and then stopped flying to China as the coronavirus pandemic devastated demand for air travel. United, Delta and American Airlines suspended flights to China before mid-March. Chinese airlines reduced but didn’t eliminate their flights to the U.S. They ran about 20 flights per week in February, 34 by midMarch. Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines continue flying those routes. Travel in both China and the U.S. has partly recovered in the past two months, although it remains far below 2019 levels. In May, Chicago-based United and Atlanta-based Delta petitioned China to resume flights there, but received no response. The Trump administration protested that China’s refusal to grant access to U.S. airlines was unfair. The Transportation Depart-

ment announced Wednesday that it would prohibit all passenger airline flights from China no later than June 16. On Thursday, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said it would let more foreign airlines fly to China starting next week as anti-coronavirus controls are eased. The order did not identify airlines, but it appeared to limit United and Delta to one flight per week because they stopped flying to China before midMarch. American, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas, does not plan to return to China before October. The air-service spat escalated against a backdrop of a long-running trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Washington has also criticized China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak and treatment of Hong Kong. Chinese officials fired back this week by highlighting civil unrest and racial discrimination in the U.S.

President Emmanuel Macron and the leaders of the G5 Sahel group -- Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad -- launched a new plan in January to fight jihadists in the area. France deployed 600 additional soldiers to its Barkhane force, raising the number of troops there to 5,100. In a March video released by the extremist monitoring group SITE, Droukdel urged governments of the Sahel region to try to end the French military presence, calling the troops “armies of occupation.” It was not clear how long Droukdel had been in Mali, Algeria’s southern neighbor. For years he was thought to be holed up in the Kabyle region east of the capital of his native Algeria, and many people had questioned why he was never captured by Algerian security forces, which had honed their counter-terrorism skills over the decades.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — French forces have killed Abdelmalek Droukdel, the leader of al-Qaida’s North Africa affiliate, the France’s defense minister announced late Friday, in what would be a major victory for France after years of battling jihadists in the Sahel. There was no immediate confirmation of his death from al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, known as AQIM, which has made millions of dollars abducting foreigners for ransom over the years and made large swaths of West Africa too dangerous for aid groups to access. French Defense Minister Florence Parly tweeted that Droukdel and several of his allies were killed Wednesday in northern Mali by French forces and their partners. It was not immediately clear how his identity was confirmed by the French. Droukdel’s reported death comes after French

Henry, president of the Environmental League of Massachusetts. The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Marine Monument has already withstood a legal challenge by fishermen who opposed its creation. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit challenging its creation in 2018, and the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the decision in December. The Trump administration has reviewed a number of national monument designations used by Obama to protect land and water. One of them, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, is in Maine. The Antiquities Act of 1906 lets presidents establish national monuments but doesn’t give them power to undo such a designation. Nonetheless, Trump has downsized two national monuments Utah and allowed energy development on some of the land.

Health care comparisons: 1920s and 2020s STEVEN GREIF

Coos History Museum

COOS COUNTY — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatened Oregon in March of 2020, local physicians braced for the impact it would have on Coos County. Hundreds of local doctors and nurses, ambulance personnel, and several medical clinics gathered PPE (personal protective equipment), ventilators, and other medical supplies to protect the health of South Coast citizens. Coos Health and Wellness, our county public health agency, ramped up its range of services aimed at promoting healthy behaviors; preventing diseases and injuries; ensuring access to safe food, water, clean air, and life-saving immunizations; and preparing for, and responding to, public health emergencies. A century ago, medical support in the region was not nearly as robust and ready to face the pandemic of the Spanish Influenza of 1918-1919. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Coos County patients relied on only a few individual doctors. Bill Lansing, who is writing a new book called “Pioneer Doctors of Coos County,” says many had little formal training and most worked out of individual offices rather than in hospitals. “Oregon was a magnet to charlatans and quacks who flowed into the state,” writes Lansing, “until medical schools were created at Willamette College and Portland and until the legislature created the Oregon Licensing Board in 1889.” Dr. Cook, for example, started out as a pioneer shoemaker in Empire City. Like many other self-taught doctors, he had learned about treatment of various maladies during his service in the Civil War. After many of his customers coming Please see Health Care, Page C4

A special day at Bandon Dunes for Mick Peters AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — Mick Peters had a pretty amazing day on Monday. Historic, even. Peters, owner of Mick’s Hair Surgeons, was the first to tee off on Bandon Dunes Golf Resort’s newest course, the much-anticipated Sheep Ranch. Peters, who has been a barber in Bandon for 55 years, wasn’t splitting hairs when he took his first swing, although he was being closely watched by a camera crew, BDGR General Manager Don Crowe, Chris Keiser, son of resort owner Mike Keiser (Keiser wasn’t able to make it), one of the course’s designers Bill Coore, Phil Friedmann, co-owner of the course who managed it for nearly 20 years before it was built to a full 18 holes, and a couple dozen others — all trying their best to social distance. It was all about the beautiful morning, the dew on the freshly groomed fairway, the sun coming

tering in place. It was about the piney smell of Port Orford cedar in the pro shop, the successes of Bandon Dunes, the rare sailboat

in the ocean, visible from the first tee. It was about golfing with your two sons and good friend, and having your three grandsons

caddie for you. And it was about being the first for the last time. Peters has hit the first official shot at Bandon Dunes (1999), Pacific Dunes (2001), Bandon Trails (2005), Old Macdonald (2010) the par-3 Bandon Preserve (2012), the Punchbowl (2014) and now Sheep Ranch — the final course for the resort. One day in 1999, Peters was cutting Bob Gaspar’s hair (known fondly as “Shoe”), when he casually mentioned how much he’d love to have a tee time on the new Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, soon to open. Shoe had just been hired at the resort as the caddie master and told Peters the first tee-time was open. Peters jumped at the opportunity and has been asked to come back and tee-off for every new course at Bandon Dunes. Peters has a signed ball from each course and plans to build a case to display them.

Chamber Minute: TIMM SLATER Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

Let me share another story with you. After several days of maneuvers in bad weather, a U.S. Navy battleship confronted problems in the dark. A lookout reported to the bridge, describing a light he saw off the starboard bow. When the Captain realized the two vessels were cutting a collision course, he sent a message, “We are on a collision course. Advise you change course 20 degrees.” The distant light flashed a return message, “Advisable for you to change course 20 degrees.” The battleship captain sent, “I am a captain! Change course 20 degrees.” “I am a seaman second class, you had better change course 20 degrees.” The enraged captain sent, “I am a battleship,

change course 20 degrees.” Came the reply, “I am a lighthouse.” The battleship immediately changed course. Effective leaders know how to change course in the face of those lighthouse realities. You are all leaders, whether it is in the family, business or

Peters From C1

On Monday, Peters was accompanied by his son Mark, who works at the barbershop with him, and son Mike, as well as good buddy Ted McKenzie. His grandsons (Mark and Kisa Peters’ sons Shawn and Andrew Peters and Mike’s son Casey Peters, donned their white caddie overalls and carried the bags. All three grandsons also golf, and both Shawn and

Andrew earned the Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship at Bandon Dunes. Shawn graduated from OSU and Andrew will graduate from the University of Oregon next week. Along for the ride was Peters’ wife Nancy, Mike’s daughter Chloe and Casey’s girlfriend Jessica Tittle, also a golfer. “It’s going to be a real fun day,” Peters said the evening prior. “It’ll be a real special day for me.” Peters said following the event that the course was great and made for the average golfer. “It’s really nice,” Peters said.

“For someone like me that’s not very good, you can always find your ball. It’s just a beautiful place.” Compared to the other courses at Bandon Dunes, Peters said Sheep Ranch is “open and nice.” “They’re all nice,” he said. “But this one you just walk along the bluff and you can see ocean as far as you can see, both ways.” Tomorrow it will be back to the shop, where the first ball he hit at Bandon Dunes, with Mike Keiser’s signature on it, sits on a shelf and reminds him of these special days.

Movies like “Bad Boys” are something we had always tried to do, and I guess people over here (in England) didn’t really get it, because nobody here had done it before. Ashley and I finally got to a place where once we got on set, we just did what we wanted – and when that (first season) came out, almost every journalist and every fan mentioned the banter and the body language between the two guys. And then, everybody was like, “Brilliant! Let’s do that again!”

into his cobbler’s shop complained of minor ailments, he decided that medicine would be a more interesting occupation than shoemaking. Abram Foley was another pioneer doctor in Empire who “was not blessed with a diploma,” wrote one critic. “He could manage to read only slowly and laboriously. He had a few medical books and would often say to an anxious patient, ‘you can see for yourself.’” His most frequent prescription was a wild cucumber or a local root called Old Man in the Ground. Not all doctors in Empire were of questionable quality, however. Dr. Charles W. Tower was a Civil War veteran who finished his formal medical training at Harvard after the war. A highly respected physician, his home, the Tower House at the corner of Newmark and Cape Arago Highway, is one of the three oldest homes still standing in the county. Dr. Walter Culin of Coquille was one of the first persons in Coos County to own an automobile and a boat with a motor. He needed both to reach his rural patients. To keep his gasoline engines in operating order, Culin became something of a mechanic.

BANDON — Longtime Bandon resident Careen Pierce will be celebrating her 90th birthday on June 9. Pierce was born in Riverton and lived on a farm on North Bank Road. She attended school in Riverton, then went to Coquille High School. She graduated from college in Ashland, then taught at Bandon Heights and Ocean Crest elementa-

“It is said that his office looked more like a mechanic’s shop than a physician’s office with parts of engines, tires, fish nets, and photographic equipment scattered about,” wrote one historian. In 1907, Dr. Culin and a partner, Dr. Richmond, turned an old building in Coquille into that town’s first true hospital. It was advertised as having electric lights, hot water, two operating rooms “nice parks and lawns around the place,” and rooms for 26 patients. A working man could purchase a year-long “ticket” for hospital services for $10, a family for $26. Around this same time, the small Marshfield General Hospital opened on North 2nd Street. It was advertised as a private hospital, with a matron, and “equipment new and modern in every particular.” Rates for care were $15-$30 per week, which included “room, board, general nursing, and drugs.” It closed by 1920. Patients at the Bandon Hospital begin to appear in newspaper reports around 1912. There was also a sanitarium in Bandon run by Dr. Fred Covell that advertised interesting medical practices (see image). At the turn of the century, the Catholic priest of Marshfield suggested he could get some Sisters of Mercy to staff a bigger, better, hospital for the Bay Area. Louis Simpson of North

Over the years, she volunteered for Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Cranberry Festival and Job Daughters to name a few. She went to every game and cheered for the Bandon Tigers, even when playing Coquille.

Bend jumped at the opportunity and donated 16 lots to woo the nuns to build the hospital in his new city. They agreed and the three-story Mercy Hospital, with a 50-bed capacity, was operating by February, 1906. It had nine private rooms for men and nine rooms for women, six bathrooms, and two wards - one for men, one for women. The men’s ward had “an alcove where convalescents can smoke a pipe and gaze at the bay.” The second floor had an operating room where famous local doctors like Everett Mingus, Russell Keizer, and William Horsfall could perform surgery. Dr. Horsfall was a legendary physician in Coos County. He started out as a school teacher at Kentuck Inlet but changed careers and earned a medical degree from Stanford in 1892. Before Mercy Hospital was built, Horsfall made only house-calls or performed services at his office on Front Street in Marsh-

daughter Tauna Tiscornia shared Pierce’s special formula is a combination of exercise (she swims multiple times per week), volunteerism (at the E.A.T. program and the Bandon Historical Museum), and her attitude. “Her enthusiasm is absolutely contagious,” Tiscornia said. Careen was married to the late Don Pierce, who worked for the City of Bandon public works for many years. She has five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, a daughter (Tauna) and son (David). She spent most of her life in Coos County. Besides exercise and volunteerism, she

The girl’s father came for the doctor in a rowboat but the boat developed a leak on the trip across the bay to Eastside. The father and the doctor were forced to abandon ship. Horsfall held his medical kit above his head in one hand and swam to shore a hundred yards with the other. The newborn was one of 2,595 babies that Dr. Horsfall eventually delivered during his 64-year career. Following the Spanish Flu crisis at the end of World War I, the Mast Hospital in Myrtle Point, Keizer Hospital in North Bend, and the Wesley Hospital (later also run by the Sisters of Mercy as McAuley Hospital) in Marshfield were among new facilities added to the Coos County health care system. But they had a small capacity and there was little coordination between them. Even after World War II, emergency services by hospitals in Coos Bay and North Bend were provided only on alternating nights. If a sick or injured person did not know which hospital had emergency duty, he or she might go to one place only to be told to drive to the neighboring hospital.

She will be in front of the Ocean Crest main entrance and those who want to drive by can enter from 10th Street by Asian Garden, drive through the bus lane and exit on 11th Street. “Everyone is invited to come out and honk their horns for Careen,” Tiscornia said. “She deserves the best birthday ever.”

patients in the Bay Area. A group of concerned citizens and doctors formed the Bay Area Hospital Committee and were successful in winning a bond election for a new community hospital in the fall of 1970. Bay Area Hospital was constructed and opened in May, 1974, and has expanded since. Four hospitals remain to provide local health care: Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay (130 beds), Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center in Bandon (21 beds), Coquille Valley Hospital in Coquille (16 beds), and Lower Umpqua Hospital in Reedsport (16 beds). In the current pandemic crisis, local citizens are more appreciative than ever that we have approximately 4,784 health care and social assistance workers (4.9% of Coos County’s total workforce) standing at the ready to combat coronavirus.
