Schools plan for reopening JILLIAN WARD The World

SOUTH COAST — Regardless of President Donald Trump’s mandate for all students to return to school, Oregon is giving its schools a choice of three options. Not all of the options involve being fulltime in a traditional classroom. “Districts are still in the process of investigating parents, students and teacher needs,” said

Tenneal Wetherell, superintendent for South Coast Education Service District. Wetherell said blueprints, or plans on how schools plan to conduct education in the fall, are due to the state by Aug. 15. The plans that schools can adopt include reopening schools and bringing students and teachers all on-site, or having comprehensive online education, or adopting a hybrid model of both. “Each district is looking

toward what best fits their needs within the context of the health and safety required at the state level,” Wetherell said, adding that many districts are looking toward the hybrid models but that “each district is making their own independent decision.” When asked if the spike in COVID-19 cases on the South Coast were a concern, Wetherell said “anytime we see cases, we should be concerned and evaluate practices as commu-

nity members and how we can support maintaining our numbers as low as possible.” For schools to operate during the worsening pandemic, Wetherell pointed to the Ready Schools Safe Learners Guidance document that outlines three major sections of health and safety practices that have to be implemented into schools. “As each district designs their implementation plan for the

Coast Guard honors firefighters JOHN GUNTHER The World

HAUSER — It’s not often that the United States Coast Guard presents a Meritorious Public Service Award. In his nearly two decades with the service, Capt. Olva Saboe had never seen the award given until Thursday, when he had a chance to help present it to firefighters from both the Hauser and North Bay fire departments. That was fitting because Saboe had a front-row seat to the heroic actions that led to the honors — saving three men from the capsized fishing vessel Pacific Miner early this year. “It was neat to be a part of that and recognize the rescuers,” Saboe said after the ceremony at the Hauser Fire Department. Several of the firefighters involved recalled the rescue after both fire departments were presented the Meritorious Public

Service Award signed by Rear Admiral A.J. Vogt, commander of the 13th Coast Guard District.

Saboe was in the air in one of the helicopters from the North Bend Air Station when he and

his fellow crew members saw the Pacific Miner in trouble near the mouth of the Coos River about 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 14. When they saw the boat capsized they sent out a message and both the Hauser and North Bay fire departments were paged out — something that is not unusual given the proximity of the two districts to each other and the sand dunes. The firefighters didn’t have particularly high hopes of a rescue, with various members of the departments and the Coos County Sheriff’s Office searching the beach north of the river for any sign of the vessel or its passengers. Daniel Cook of the North Bay Fires Department said he thought they were on a recovery mission. “We thought we were looking for bodies to recover,” he said.

Spike continues in virus cases JILLIAN WARD The World

COOS COUNTY — Local COVID-19 numbers have jumped to 48 confirmed and 13 presumptive positive cases. According to Eric Gleason, Coos Health and Wellness’ incident commander, there have been 28 cases in the past 28 days. “We’ve hit the one-for-one mark,” he said. In regards to the spike of the new coronavirus, Gleason said “it was bound to happen, especially with the holiday weekends and people becoming lackadaisical in the use of their personal protective equipment.” As of Friday morning, only two areas in the county remain categorized as an “outbreak.” Those spots include the business Rye Tree Service and healthcare center Avamere Rehabilitation of Coos Bay. Gleason said the new COVID-19 cases are unassociated with these two outbreak spots, having come from different areas around the county. When asked about the two hospitalizations reported earlier this week, Gleason said the second case was “in and out” of Bay Area Hospital the same day. “Our hospitalizations are back down to one,” he said, adding that there was no official update on the initial hospitalized patient’s status. As school districts plan to reopen in the fall, either in classroom, online or a mix of the two, Gleason said he is optimistic by the creativity he has seen in some of the plans. “I’ve seen some school plans as a parent and know we will meet with the school district in a few weeks,” he said. “I’m optimistic by the creativity in the school plans so far. (They) lend to a variety of options for students and families to feel safe and to still get an education.” But as local cases continue to rise, Gleason hopes people will take the proper precautions. “It’s easy for us to start off well, get comfortable and let these things slack,” he said. “If we’re not being real mindful of the use of our masks and handwashing, this happens. Until we can find a way to be on top of it all the time, I don’t think we’ll see these cases slow down.”

Budget writers recommend closing Shutter Creek JOHN GUNTHER and JILLIAN WARD The World

HAUSER — Shutter Creek Correctional Institute near Hauser was one of two prisons recommended for closure by state budget writers. The cut was recommended to try saving school funding and other programs amid a huge budget shortfall created by the

ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has left many people out of work and businesses closed. “There’s no definite plan yet,” said Betty Bernt, communication’s manager for Oregon Department of Corrections, about the proposal. According to Bernt, the State Legislature has to vote on the proposal during the next special session. If it is approved, Shutter Creek would close by June 2021.

“(But) we’re waiting for the vote in the special session,” she said. “We don’t have a plan to know for sure and are still talking to the legislature and governor’s office.” The Legislature’s budget writing committee recommended closing both Shutter Creek and the Warner Creek Correctional Facility near Lakeview. Combined, the two house nearly 800 inmates.

If the proposal is approved, Warner Creek would close during the 2021-23 biennium under the budget framework, released Thursday and first reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting. When asked what might happen to the inmates at Shutter Creek if it is shut down, Bernt said the governor may look at early release potential. Otherwise, the inmates would “be distributed to our other minimum

Reward offered in graffiti incident A2 | SATURDAY, JULY 18, 2020

JILLIAN WARD The World

EMPIRE — A $5,000 reward is being offered by the City of Coos Bay to residents who report information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for recent hateful graffiti vandalism. “Sadly, we are once again compelled to reiterate our conviction that the City of Coos Bay will not tolerate racism in our community, while also reinforcing our commitment to zero tolerance when faced with crimes targeting

any individual or group, particularly those based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion or sexual identity,” read a press release from the city. This release followed another instance of graffiti on a fence in Coos Bay’s Empire District, this time containing offensive language against an individual. The words were followed with a drawing of a noose. In an earlier press release sent out by the Coos Bay Police Department, the graffiti was reported on Wednesday at 8:03 a.m. It

was located on a privately owned fence and was reported by a neighbor as well as the property owner. “A Coos Bay Police Officer arrived on scene at … 8:14 a.m. and made contact with the property owner,” the release said. “The property owner was already in the process of retrieving material, such as paint and brushes to remove the graffiti.” While the owners were getting ready to remove the graffiti, several citizens arrived to remove it themselves. The graffiti was covered within two hours

while the precast concrete walls are being finished offsite. “(The walls) will be shipped down when they are done and in August will start tilting those up,” Trendell said. “It’s coming along really well. All of our projects are on schedule.” Across Coos Bay in the Eastside District, Eastside Elementary is all but finished. Trendell said the

new elementary school will have a final walk through next week before teachers start moving in so it can open in the fall. “Marshfield Junior High will be done this time next year, so it’s a year behind Eastside,” he said. But the two new schools are just two of the projects included on the $59.9 million Coos Bay BEST Bond. He added that on Wednesday, design schematics for Madison Elementary’s remodel were put together. The Empire District elementary school’s facelift will be a year behind Marshfield Junior High’s completion. “The remodel will consist of completely redoing the front of the school, adding a new office area, a new library, doing work on the restrooms and staff work rooms,” Trendell said. “…(It) will also enclose the breezeway that is between the gym and the school, making that a regular hallway with

of it being reported. “At this time, no suspect has been identified. However, it has been determined that this crime occurred sometime during the night after 11 p.m. on July 14,” the release said. “The Coos Bay Police Department is taking these crimes seriously.” “We have to identify who is doing this,” said Deputy Chief Chris Chapanar with the department. “To whoever is doing this, we will find out. … They will be held accountable and responsible. The more times they do such an act,

the closer we are to putting the pieces together ….” Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier echoed the sentiment that the responsible party needs to be identified before actions can be taken. He told The World that accusations are circulating on social media that he has made comments about the incident to a legal team, which he said isn’t true. “I have not spoken to a legal team …,” he said, adding that any quotes attributed to him about the issue on circulating Facebook posts are also

not true. “With the recent incidents involving graffiti, it is important that the greater Coos Bay community understand that the swift repair of defaced property and identification of those responsible is of the utmost priority, while simultaneously addressing all protocols involving private ownership and maintaining the integrity of damaged entities,” the city’s release said.

Ocean Crest Elementary playground expanded AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — The new equipment added to the Ocean Crest Elementary School playground offers a veritable feast for children to stretch their limbs and imaginations. The new playground equipment was installed in the spring and opened for use on July 1. With new mandates from Gov. Kate Brown, children and adults must wear masks outdoors if they cannot maintain 6 feet of distance at all times. The Bandon School District has taken safety measures to help stop the spread of COVID-19 even further. Each morning, the district’s maintenance staff is disinfectiing the equipment using a Bromine solution and special spray cleaning apparatus. The district also asks those using the playground to wash their hands before and after use. That said, the BSD and Ocean Crest Elementary administration, staff and students are excited and proud to have the new equipment, which the children themselves help fundraise for. Earlier this year, the school purchased $100,000 in new play structures for the We Learn At Recess! project, thanks to grants and fundraising efforts. A $40,000 grant was received from multiple donors, including $10,000 from The Walter Lewis Schulz Memorial Fund of Oregon Community Foundation, plus a $60,000 grant was received from The Mr. and Mrs. Michael L. Keiser Fund of The Oregon Community Foundation. Added to these generous donations is the $18,000 raised by Ocean Crest “Tiger Cubs” students at the 2019 annual Jog-a-Thon fundraiser. The new equipment, which was added to the existing and refurbished

equipment, including the iconic Castle Crest structure, is optimized for school children, ages 5-12 and preschool children, ages 2-5 with a focus on the six areas of activity: climbing, sliding, spinning, balance, upper body and swinging. “At Ocean Crest, we believe in the power of play as a tool for learning, knowing that students can develop not only gross motor skills, but also interpersonal and social-emotional skills while on the playground,” said Principal Becky Armistead. “We remain committed to supporting our students as whole children, focusing not only on the academic needs of each child, but also on their developmentally appropriate physical and social-emotional needs. “Now more thann ever — as we look forward to uncertainty about our return to brick-and-mortar schooling — embracing the opportunity to work with our students and support them as whole children is a focus that remains at the forefront of our minds.” Ocean Crest is working diligently with the Bandon School District to play for the return of the 2020-21 school year with the community’s children at the heart of those discussions, Armistead added. “We are committed to providing the very best education that our

Better Business Bureau

As businesses and cities continue to discuss making face masks mandatory, fake cards are showing up online that claim to exempt people from covering their faces. The cards are yet another unfortunate reminder that you shouldn’t believe everything you see, no matter how legitimate it looks. The Better Business Bureau is joining the United States Department of Justice in alerting both businesses and consumers about the growing number of fraudulent face mask exemption cards making their way into the marketplace. Additionally, the DOJ has been made aware of social media posts and flyers circulating online that use false information to promote the fake cards. The card references the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and emphasizes peoples’ right to refuse to wear a face mask due to health concerns, despite that it will help curb the spread of COVID-19. The group behind the fake exemption card calls themselves the Freedom to Breathe Agency. Their card incorporates an eagle-themed logo and states that holders are protected from any mandates requiring citizens to wear face masks. Exact text featured on the card – misspellings included – reads, “Wearing a face mask poses a mental and/or physical risk to me. Under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), I am not required to disclose my condition to you.” The information on the card also alleges the Americans with Disabilities Act forbids asking about the cardholder’s health condition and threatens to levy fines of at least $75,000 if any questions are asked. All of this is misinformation. The cards are phony, the Free-

dom to Breathe Agency cannot claim authority for themselves for anyone else to get out of wearing a mask, and no exorbitant fines will come of asking about or denying the card. Health experts and the DOJ are also urging the public not to believe the card’s claim that wearing a mask will incur mental or physical risk. The Department of Justice and the Americans With Disabilities Act states they are not the distributors of these cards and they do not endorse the information shared by the Freedom to Breathe Agency. Lenka Koloma, the group’s founder, advertised the cards on her Facebook page and sold them on a Shopify site, which is no longer available. The BBB suggests that when such information is presented with misspellings or logos look a little different than an agency’s normal branding, both should be considered red-flags and raise suspicion about the content’s validity. Before taking any action or purchasing an item, verify that everything is legitimate. Go to the actual website of the government agency or company promoting the information to see what’s real.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Politics at its best The Trump Administration has (in their infinite wisdom) approved the LNG plant in Coos County. And I might add “sight unseen.” This will give the Canadians, a foreign nation, the power of eminent domain to take our land away from us. And they will. It will give them, a foreign nation, 100% control of our harbor and bays. 100% people. A LNG plant here will be Oregon’s largest polluter in the state. The pipeline will destroy our rivers and streams. It will be built in a tsunami zone within sight of thousands of homes and businesses, which puts us in the kill zone. That’s thousands of people. Then there is the noise of two jet engines screaming 24-7 for power. The Canadians, a foreign nation, have been bribing our local politicians and “powers that be” for years and years for this. Now Trump is selling us out to the Chinese again while he sits around watching our nation being destroyed. And then we have good old dementia Joe Biden who, if he’s

not scary enough by himself, will pick a running mate to help him get more votes instead of someone competent for the job. That makes him twice as scary. The sad thing is, this is all just normal politics at its best. Jerry Dean North Bend

What a beaver trapper should learn Mr. Ramey if you want to learn 21st century beaver science I suggest you read these books. The first one was written by an Oregon Biologist “Salmon without Rivers” by James A. Lichatatowich 2013. “Eager” The surprising, secret life of the beavers and why they matter by Ben Goldfarb 2018. For a more detailed modern book on the decline of our fisheries read the book “Salmon” A fish the earth and the history of their common fate by Mark Kurlansky 2020. Glad you check your traps daily I am sure (dogs trapped in them) appreciate your efforts. Charles Erickson Coos Bay

Even and steady justice President Trump has stepped up his war on science, facts and reality. And he’s losing. His latest disaster is to pick a fight with Dr. Anthony Fauci, his own administration’s leading expert on infectious diseases, blocking him from major TV appearances and issuing a hit piece that documents the times Fauci has underestimated the impact of COVID-19. “Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he’s made a lot of mistakes,” Trump told Sean Hannity on Fox. The attacks are not working. A recent New York Times/ Siena College poll found that 67% of Americans trusted the information they received from Fauci about the pandemic, compared with 26% who trusted Trump. An ABC News/Ipsos poll reports that only 33% approve of the president’s handling of the coronavirus, with 67% disapproving. Strikingly, more than 1 out of 5 Republicans now express disappointment at his performance -- more than double the number just a month ago. Three out of 5 Americans say the “push to reopen the economy is moving too quickly,” with only 15% agreeing with Trump that “the country is moving too slowly.” “It’s shocking,” Janis Orlowski, chief health care officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges, tells the Washington Post. “When you begin to discredit scientists like Fauci, who are national treasures, you are in serious trouble.” Here’s why she’s right: A significant slice of Americans who voted for Trump -- or at least against Hillary Clinton -- are simply tuning him out and turning him off. When the president disputes Fauci’s predictions about the virus, insisting instead that it will “disappear” shortly, they know he’s lying because they see it in their own towns, families and lives.

Steven V. Roberts

Trump has always bluffed and blustered his way past reality -- exaggerating his intelligence and his wealth, his crowd sizes and vote totals, while demeaning his enemies. He entered politics by promoting a vile untruth that exploited racist and nativist impulses: the “birther” myth that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya and ineligible to be president. Since taking office, according to Washington Post fact-checkers, the Lord of the Lies has made more than 20,000 “false and misleading claims,” and “the tsunami of untruths just keeps looming larger and larger.” But he can’t bluff a virus. He can’t bluster his way past a disease that has infected close to 3.5 million Americans and killed almost 140,000. And he cannot blame Fauci, or anybody else, for his catastrophic failure of leadership. The buck, and the luck, stops with the president, no matter how many times he says, “I don’t take responsibility at all.” Fauci is hardly the first administration official to trigger a presidential temper tantrum. Trump has regularly trashed many original members of his cabinet -- Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and defense chief Jim Mattis -plus Chief of Staff John Kelly and two national security advisers, H.R. McMaster and

John Bolton. (Their collective view of their former boss was best summed up by Bolton on ABC: “I don’t think he’s fit for office. I don’t think he has the competence to carry out the job.”) Tony Fauci is not a czar. His scientific perspective is essential in reacting smartly to the virus, but it’s not the only one. Economies that stay locked down too long shutter businesses, cost jobs and devastate working families. Schools that don’t reopen in the fall will damage students and drive parents crazy. And Fauci has not always been right. In the early days of the pandemic, he underestimated its power, counseling against wearing masks and telling Americans, “There is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-to-day basis.” Leave aside the obvious irony that if Fauci was making “a lot of mistakes,” Trump was cheering on his overly optimistic predictions. The critical difference is that Fauci is devoted to facts, not fantasies. He changed and evolved his views as new evidence emerged, even when it contradicted the president’s prejudices and political self-interest. Just one example of Fauci’s truth-telling: “As a country, when you compare us to other countries, I don’t think you can say we’re doing great. I mean, we’re just not,” he told the podcast “FiveThirtyEight.” Tom Frieden, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, described Fauci’s approach to the Post this way: “That’s called science, not a mistake. The real deadly mistake is not listening to science.” The public clearly agrees with him.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican told bishops around the world on Thursday they should report cases of clergy sex crimes to police even when not legally bound to do so, in its latest effort to compel church leaders to protect minors from predator priests. The Vatican issued a long-awaited manual for bishops and religious superiors on conducting in-house investigations into allegations of priests who rape and molest minors and vulnerable adults. While the Vatican has had detailed canonical norms in place for two decades, the laws continue to be ignored by some bishops, particularly in the devel-

oping world and even Catholic strongholds like Poland. While the manual doesn’t have the force of a new law, it goes beyond the current Vatican policy about cooperating with law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and police. That policy requires bishops and religious superiors to report allegations of sex crimes with minors only where local laws require it. The manual says: “Even in cases where there is no explicit legal obligation to do so, the ecclesiastical authorities should make a report to the competent civil authorities if this is considered necessary to protect the person in-

volved or other minors from the danger of further criminal acts.” And it says church leaders must comply with “legitimate” subpoena requests. The manual, issued in a half-dozen languages, appears aimed in part at depriving bishops and religious superiors of their frequent excuses not to carry out preliminary investigations into accused priests. The manual states, for example, that anonymous allegations should not be dismissed outright, as they often are, and that even hearsay and social media posts can constitute the basis on which to launch a preliminary probe.

Vatican says bishops should report sex abuse to police

at the family home in Coquille. As a mother of five sons, she was an excellent cook and noted for her brownies. She was an active member of many organizations in Coquille such as; past President of the Coquille Hospital Auxiliary, Coquille Lioness and Holy Name Catholic Church, also serving in the St. Christophers. She studied nursing at St. Vincent Hospital in Portland. Rose and her beloved husband Lynn, recently celebrated 71 years of marriage in April of this year. Rose is survived by her husband Lynn; four sons, Mike and his wife Vicki, Gary and his wife Lynn, Dennis and his wife Andrea, Jeff and his wife Lisa; grandchildren, Quinn Myers and Matt Cannon

DEAR ABBY: I have a daughter-inlaw I love to pieces and would NEVER intentionally hurt in any way. I recently had contact with my son’s ex-girlfriend, “Kayley.” She had seen me at church with them, contacted me and came by our house for a visit. She and my son were very young when they dated (high school) and haven’t spoken to each other in years. I stayed in contact with her off and on over the years because I always thought a lot of her. Both of them have married others and created their own lives. Our son and his wife live next door to us and were out of town the day Kayley stopped by, but returned before she left. My son chewed me out, and now my daughter-in-law won’t speak to me. I tried to talk to her and would apologize if I had the chance, but she sent me a text saying I had crossed a line and how inconsiderate it was of me having Kayley drop by. She said it made her feel small and uncomfortable (they only saw her from a distance and didn’t even know who it was at first). Was I wrong for staying in contact with my son’s high school ex-girlfriend? Was I wrong for inviting her to come by? What’s the best way to handle this because I want to keep peace in our family? -- MONSTER-IN-LAW IN TEXAS DEAR M.I.L.: You weren’t wrong to stay in touch with someone you liked. And you should be free to entertain anyone you like in your home. It strikes me as sad that your daughter-in-law would react the way she has. It shows how deeply insecure she is. Because you want to keep peace in the family, refrain from having Kayley over, and see her elsewhere. And if she asks you why, explain that it made your daughter-in-law uncomfortable. DEAR ABBY: Years ago, my wife and I decided together that I would

work and she would raise the kids. Well, times and the economy have changed. We need a second income. Even a part-time retail job would help tremendously right now. I have made countless sacrifices to keep our home and lifestyle afloat. All the while she refuses to pursue anything except what she believes to be “her purpose” or what represents her “best self.” What about me? My health? Our home? Our children and their education? How about a job that she might not be crazy about for a decent paycheck so we can save a little and not have to worry about how much our prescription costs are? My resentment is growing. I work 60 hours a week and gave up a career I loved. Am I asking too much? -- RESENTFUL IN THE MIDWEST DEAR RESENTFUL: No, you are not asking too much. Times have indeed changed, and your wife needs to wake up and accept that her dream job may have to be postponed because of circumstances beyond her (and your) control. Successful marriages are partnerships, and because being the sole wage earner has become so stressful that you would write to me about it, it’s time your wife took her head out of the clouds and faced reality. If a second income will take some of the stress off your shoulders, she needs to step forward for the sake of you and the children. DEAR READERS: Have a very happy and healthy Fourth of July, everyone. And please, be safe! -- LOVE, ABBY ---------------------------------------Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Former NB player dies in logging accident

The World

The World GRANTS PASS — A former North Bend baseball standout was killed in a logging accident in Josephine County on Monday. Cody Anderson, who graduated from the high school in 2012, was killed when he was struck by a rolling log, authorities said. The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area around 11 a.m. Monday in a remote area above West Pickett Creek. Anderson “had been struck by a rolling log which he was cutting with a chainsaw,” a Josephine County Sheriff’s Office press release said. Another report, from Rural

Metro Fire, said Anderson, who was working as a choker setter with a logging operation, got pinned under a log about 250 yards below the landing. The logging crew, Rural Metro Fire, AMR Ambulance EMTs and the Sheriff’s Office recovered his body. Anderson pitched for the Bulldogs in the early part of the decade, including pitching a no-hitter to beat Douglas and clinch a spot in the postseason in 2012. Anderson was a first-team all-league pick for the Bulldogs that year. North Bend baseball coach Brad Horning said Anderson had been living in the Rogue

Valley and described his death as “tragic.” Horning said Anderson also competed in welding competitions in high school and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He remembered Anderson being a stellar pitcher and all-around player. “He was ‘The guy’ on the mound,” Horning said, adding that Anderson was “skilled at first and physical with the bat.” Anderson also struck out a lot of batters, including 11 in that postseason-clinching game his senior year. The southpaw did most of his work with his fastball, Horning recalled. “He was not afraid to challenge hitters,” he said.

Officials decry arrests by federal agents in Portland PORTLAND (AP) — Federal agents in green camouflage uniforms have been taking into custody people in the streets of Portland, not close to federal property that they were sent to protect, in what the ACLU of Oregon on Friday said “should concern everyone in the United States.” “Usually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping. The actions of the militarized federal officers are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered,” said Jann Carson, interim executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said President Donald Trump, who deployed Department of Homeland Security officers to Portland, “is looking for

a confrontation in Oregon in the hopes of winning political points in Ohio or Iowa.” “Now he is deploying federal officers to patrol the streets of Portland in a blatant abuse of power by the federal government,” Brown, a Democrat, said in a statement late Thursday. Federal officers have charged at least 13 people with crimes related to the protests so far in Portland, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported Thursday. Some have been detained by the federal courthouse, which has been the scene of protests. But others were grabbed blocks away. One video showed two individuals in helmets and green camouflage with “police” patches grabbing a person on the sidewalk, handcuffing them and taking them into an unmarked vehicle.

“Who are you?” someone asks the pair, who do not respond. At least some of the federal officers deployed in Portland belong to the Department of Homeland Security. “Authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters,” U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, said in a tweet. The Council on American-Islamic Relations Oregon chapter said in a statement: “We are now seeing escalating tactics with protesters being unlawfully detained by unknown Federal law enforcement entities.” On Thursday night, federal officers deployed tear gas and fired less-lethal rounds into a crowd of protesters in Portland, hours after the the head of the Department of Home-

land Security visited the city and called the demonstrators, who are protesting racism and police brutality, “violent anarchists.” Video showed many protesters leaving the area near the federal courthouse late Thursday as smoke filled the air. During a visit to Portland earlier Thursday, Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf said state and city authorities are to blame for not putting an end to the protests, angering local officials. Mayor Ted Wheeler and other local officials have said they didn’t ask for help from federal law enforcement and have asked them to leave. A few hundred people had gathered near the federal courthouse Thursday night, news outlets reported. Police told protesters to leave after announcing

PORTLAND (AP) — Journalists and legal observers will remain exempt from Portland police orders requiring protesters to disperse under an injunction issued by a federal

judge Thursday. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon issued a 14-day temporary order after a class-action lawsuit was filed by the American Civil

Liberties Union of Oregon against the Portland Police Bureau and the city on behalf of journalists and legal observers. The journalists and observers say they have been targeted and at-

tacked by the police while documenting protests. As part of Thursday’s order, which is in effect through Oct. 30, police also cannot arrest, threaten to arrest or use physical force against a person “who they know or reasonably should know” is a journalist or legal observer. The order says officers are not to seize their cameras, audio or videotaping equipment or press passes unless police have probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. Police are also barred from ordering journalists or legal observers to stop photographing, recording or observing a protest. “This injunction is a critical protection for journalists and legal observers exercising their fundamental right to record and observe police activities at these important protests,” said Matthew Borden, partner at BraunHagey & Borden LLP and pro bono counsel for the ACLU Foundation of Oregon. “We are looking forward to fully and finally vindicating the rights of journalists and legal observers while this protection is in place.”

they heard some chanting about burning down the building, according to The Oregonian. A short time later, federal officers fired rounds and deployed tear gas to break up the crowd. Some protesters remained in the area early Friday and were detained, but it was unclear whether any arrests were made, the newspaper reported. Homeland Security Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said Friday morning on “Fox & Friends” that the federal government has a responsibility to protect buildings such as the courthouse. “What we’ve seen around the country is where responsible policing is advanced, violence recedes,” Cuccinelli said. “And Portland hasn’t gotten that memo. Nor have a lot of other cities. And the

president is determined to do what we can, within our jurisdiction, to help restore peace to these beleaguered cities.” The Department of Homeland Security had no immediate comment when reached by The Associated Press on Friday. Tensions have escalated in the past two weeks, particularly after an officer with the U.S. Marshals Service fired a less-lethal round at a protester’s head on July 11, critically injuring him. The protests in Oregon’s largest city following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis have often devolved into violent clashes between smaller groups and the police. The unrest has caused deep divisions in a city that prides itself on its activism and progressive reputation.

PORTLAND (AP) — Federal regulators on Thursday threw a significant curveball at a coalition that has been planning for years to demolish four massive hydroelectric dams on a river along the Oregon-California border to save salmon populations that have dwindled to almost nothing. The deal, which would be the largest dam demolition project in U.S. history, relies on a delicate calculus: The power company that operates the Klamath River dams will transfer its hydroelectric license and contribute $250 million in order to sever itself from the removal project and avoid any further liability or unanticipated costs. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, however, on Thursday approved the license transfer on the condition that PacifiCorp remain a co-licensee along with the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, the non-profit coalition assembled to oversee the dams’ demolition. That stipulation could kill or drastically alter the deal because removing PacifiCorp from the deal entirely better protects the utility’s

ratepayers — an element that was necessary to gain the support from public utility commissions in both Oregon and California. “Although we are generally satisfied that the Renewal Corporation has the capacity to carry out the proposed decommissioning, for the reasons discussed above, we find that the public interest would be best served by approving a partial transfer of the license and requiring PacifiCorp to remain as a co-licensee,” the commission wrote in a 31-page ruling. The commission’s decision could be devastating for Northern California tribes that rely on salmon if it blows up the long-negotiated deal to tear down the dams that block the migration of fish along miles of the Klamath River. In a statement, a coalition of tribes, environmentalists and salmon-fishing interests said although the ruling was a twist, they were optimistic because the commission found that “there is a significant likelihood KRRC will complete the dam removal process without relying on PacifiCorp for additional funding or expertise.”

Justice Ginsburg says cancer has returned The World

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday she is receiving chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer, but has no plans to retire from the Supreme Court. The 87-year-old Ginsburg, who has had four earlier bouts with cancer including pancreatic cancer last year, said her treatment so far has succeeded in reducing lesions on her liver and she will continue chemotherapy sessions every two weeks “to keep my cancer at bay.” “I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that,” Ginsburg said in a statement issued by the court.

Ginsburg, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, is the senior liberal justice on a court that leans conservative by a 5-4 margin. Her departure before the election could give President Donald Trump the chance to shift the court further to the right. Ginsburg’s history with cancer goes back more than 20 years. In addition to being treated without surgery for a tumor on her pancreas last year, she also underwent surgery for colorectal cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and lung cancer in December 2018. Dr. Alan Venook, a pancreatic cancer specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, who is

not involved in Ginsburg’s care, said that “clearly, she’s got incurable disease now” because of the spread to her liver. On average, patients with advanced pancreatic cancer live about a year, but the fact that her disease took so long to recur from her initial pancreatic cancer surgery in 2009 and previous treatments “suggests that it’s not been growing rapidly,” he said. “She’s above average in many ways.” and has done remarkably well with all her treatments so far, Venook said. “There’s no reason to think she would die imminently.” Asked earlier this week about a possible opening on the court before the election, White House

chief of staff Mark Meadows said the president would act quickly if any opening were to arise. Meadows commented after news that Ginsburg had left the hospital after receiving treatment for an infection, which she said Friday was unrelated to the cancer. “I can’t imagine if he had a vacancy on the Supreme Court that he would not very quickly make the appointment and look for the Senate to take quick action,” Meadows said, adding that he didn’t want any comment to be seen as wishing Ginsburg “anything but the very best.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said that if there were to be a vacancy on the

ATLANTA (AP) — The Rev. C.T. Vivian, an early and key advisor to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who organized pivotal campaigns in the civil rights movement and spent decades after advocating for justice and equality, died Friday at the age of 95. Vivian began staging sit-ins against segregation in Peoria, Illinois, in the 1940s — a dozen years before lunch-counter protests by college students made national news. He met King soon after the budding civil rights leader’s leadership of the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, and helped translate ideas into action by organizing the Freedom Rides that eventually forced federal intervention across the South. Vivian boldly challenged a segregationist sheriff while trying to register Black voters in Selma, Alabama, where hundreds, then thousands, later marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. “You can turn your back now and you can keep your club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice.

And we will register to vote because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it,” Vivian declared, wagging his index finger at Sheriff Jim Clark as the cameras rolled. The sheriff then punched him, and news coverage of the assault helped turned a local registration drive into a national phenomenon. Former diplomat and congressman Andrew Young, another close King confidant, said Vivian was always “one of the people who had the most insight, wisdom, integrity and dedication.” President Barack Obama honored Vivian with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013, saying that “time and again, Reverend Vivian was among the first to be in the action: In 1947, joining a sit-in to integrate an Illinois restaurant; one of the first Freedom Riders; in Selma, on the courthouse steps to register blacks to vote, for which he was beaten, bloodied and jailed.” Obama continued: “Rosa Parks said of him, ‘Even after things had supposedly

been taken care of and we had our rights, he was still out there, inspiring the next generation, including me,’ helping kids go to college with a program that would become Upward Bound.” He praised Vivian, then 89, for being “still in the action, pushing us closer to our founding ideals.” Speaking with students in Tennessee 50 years after the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, Vivian urged them to act strategically as they advocated for justice and equality. The civil rights movement was effective not only because of its nonviolence, but because activists used made sure their messages were amplified, he said. “This is what made the movement; our voice was really heard. But it didn’t happen by accident; we made certain it was heard,” Vivian said. Cordy Tindell Vivian was born July 28, 1924, in Howard County, Missouri, but moved to Macomb, Illinois, with his mother as a young boy. He later studied theology alongside John Lewis at the American Baptist College in Nashville,

Tennessee, where they trained waves of activists in non-violent protest. King made Vivian his national director of affiliates at the Southern Chris-

court during this year’s election cycle, the Republican-controlled Senate would likely confirm a nominee selected by Trump. Ginsburg said she was disclosing her cancer treatment now because she is satisfied “that my treatment course is now clear.” Venook said the chemotherapy drug Ginsburg said she is getting, gemcitabine, is one that’s often used. Immunotherapy, which Ginsburg’s statement said she tried unsuccessfully, has not worked well for pancreatic cancer, Venook said. Ginsburg said a medical scan in February revealed growths on her liver and she began chemotherapy in May.

“My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease,” she said. “I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment.” Ginsburg noted that she is able to “maintain an active daily routine” and that throughout her treatment she has “kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work.” When the justices heard arguments via telephone in May because of the coronavirus pandemic, Ginsburg participated one day from a hospital room in Baltimore. She was being treated for gall stones, and said Friday that hospitalization also had nothing to do with the cancer.

and Nathan Fish of the Hauser Fire Department got to the river’s North Jetty, they decided to walk up the jetty, despite rough waters and dark skies. “We had every light on we could,” Fish said. “We were looking for anything we could see.” He said about halfway down they smelled fuel and a little further he spotted the boat upside down against the rocks of the jetty. They still had little hope until they reached the Pacific Miner and Fish heard the men yelling. Then, he said, everything went calm and everyone on the rescue team heard them yelling. Suddenly, they started trying to determine how to rescue them.

on businesses and also maintain funding for universities and community colleges. “We think that this next year is going to be extremely critical in terms of providing services for vulnerable Oregonians,” Rayfield said in an Associated Press story. “We were leery about making cuts (to those things), which caused us to look at other cuts.” Shutter Creek was acquired by the state from the U.S. General Services Administration in 1990 and converted into a 302-bed minimum-security prison sitting on 56 acres. The site east of Hauser formerly was an Air National Guard radar station. The inmates are minimum-security inmates within four years of their release from the prison system.

Swanson hurried back to rescue vehicles to get a saw and he and others also brought out ropes to set up a harness system to protect Cook and Fish as they climbed down on the rocks to cut open a hole in the boat and rescue the three men aboard. “The biggest fear Nate and I had was the waves taking us out into the water or the boat crushing us up against the jetty,” Cook said. “We were working against the tide.” The Coast Guard said the waves were breaking at 14 to 16 feet. Cook said the boat had been destroyed by the waves within two hours of the rescue. “We got them out,” Cook said. “Everything worked perfectly. There were a lot of people praying. I was praying.” Amazingly, the fish-

ermen were not injured aside from hypothermia symptoms after being in water up to their armpits for two hours on a night when the outside temperature dipped under 40 degrees. Rather than being lifted to the helicopter by rescue swimmers, Saboe said the boats captain insisted on walking out on the jetty. Cook and Fish also got down in the water up to their chests to pull off the rescue, but Fish said he never doubted it was the right action to take. “Myself wasn’t the concern,” he said. “I knew there was three guys in there who wanted to go home to their families.” Cook also said both his dad and grandfather were firefighters. That explained his perspective when the awards were presented Thursday. “I didn’t do it to get

rewarded,” he said. “I did it because it was the right thing to do.” Still, he said, it was nice for the two departments to get recognized. “It shows how much the community appreciates what happened that night,” Fish said. Hauser Fire Chief Jerry Wharton said it was just one example of the two fire departments working together. “We do that quite a bit,” he said. “North Bay takes care of stuff on pavement. We take care of stuff in the sand.” Wharton, who was on the beach, said he wasn’t sure it was a good idea when the three firefighters started walking down the jetty, given how strong the wave action was. “It was a good thing (they went out),” he said. Sometimes when North Bay and Hauser work

together, be it an incident on the dunes or on U.S. Highway 101, they are responding to a fatal accident. So having the January incident turn into a rescue was rewarding for everyone involved, Wharton said. “You see a complete difference in everybody when it turns out this way,” he said. “It was night-and-day different. “When we come back from a fatal, it’s very solemn.” Several people from both agencies helped in the rescue. The official citation from the Coast Guard also recognized Chief Jim Aldrich and Lt. John Aldrich from the North Bay Fire Department, who weren’t able to attend Thursday’s ceremony, and Wharton and Capt. Lawrence Van Hoof of the Hauser Fire Department. Hauser firefighters

Ray Daniels and Nick Borgens also took part in the rescue and Thursday’s ceremony. “Our two agencies, we work good together,” Swanson said. “There was a lot of good communication with the radios.” Ultimately, the actions saved the lives of the fishermen. “That was a hell of a job you guys did that night,” Saboe said. “I’m convinced there are three guys alive today because of what you did.” The official citation each department received Thursday said as much, closing with the line: “Hauser (and North Bay) Fire Department gallantly supported the Coast Guard search and rescue mission. Their actions are most heartily commended and are in keeping with the highest traditions of public service.”

Inmates from the prison work along the South Coast in various work crews, primarily with the Department of Forestry, as well as working on site. They also have worked on fire crews in the past. Warner Creek Correctional Institute, located four miles northwest of Lakeview, is also a minimum-security prison that opened in 2005, according to the Department of Corrections website. It received the State Energy Efficiency Design award in 2008 for its progress in design efficiency, with the most efficient element being its use of geothermal energy that provides 100 percent of the hot water to the facility. The 13-page budget rebalance plan includes proposed cuts from six different legislative subcommittees — Education, Human Services, Public Safety, Natural Resources, Transportation and Eco-

nomic Development, and General Government. The document says Rayfield and fellow co-chairs Sens. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward and Betsy Johnson “identified programs and services critical to Oregonians that must be preserved and worked to protect essential investments in public education, health care, child welfare, housing, economic development and other critical areas during this unprecedented public health and economic crisis.” State economists predicted in May that reduced income taxes and lottery revenues could result in the state taking in $2.7 billion less in expected revenue during the two-year budget cycle that ends in June 2021. Proposals include nearly $400 million in cuts and administrative savings as well as pulling $400 million from a state reserve fund for schools and tapping other resource ad-

justments to close a nearly $1.1 billion budget gap. More than $180 million in reduced spending would come within human services, more than $80 million of that by holding positions vacant. Other savings comes in delayed equipment purchases, such as canceling scheduled Oregon State Police vehicle purchases and deferring forensic laboratory equipment replacement. Bernt said that periodically Department of Corrections, when there is a funding crisis, will go through a “worse-case-scenario” exercise looking at prison closures. But she said it has never come to this level “where the legislature proposed it back to us.” “We’ve never had it brought to us like this, so this is new…,” she said. “We’re hoping it doesn’t get voted through….” On the South Coast,

the biggest change is the proposal to close Shutter Creek, which employs approximately 87 people. In regards to difficulties surrounding potentially closing Shutter Creek, Bernt pointed to the staff. “…We would relocate some to facilities if that’s an option, if they’re willing to relocate, but people would likely have to be laid off,” she said. “This is a big employer for little communities like that. … We’re concerned and looking forward to the vote.” The prison has been a fixture on the South Coast for nearly three decades. Shutter Creek also was the initial site for the SUMMIT program of the Oregon Department of Corrections, housing the educational program for most of two decades before it was moved to Columbia River Correctional Institute in 2012. The program (Success Using Motivation, Morale,

Intensity and Treatment) is a six-month rehabilitation program that prepares inmates for early release. If they complete the program, they enter a 90-day transitional release period, and if they meet all the requirements of their transitional release, the rest of their sentence is eliminated. When SUMMIT moved away from the prison, Shutter Creek turned its focus to preparing inmates near the end of their sentences from six Southern Oregon counties — Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane, Jackson and Josephine — for release back into society, using the same techniques that were successful in the SUMMIT program. Shutter Creek offers basic GED classes, life-skills classes and 12-step and Alcoholics Anonymous programs. Editor’s Note: The Associated Press contributed to this story.

room. It’s called ‘cohorting.’” In addition, schools are working to have students physical distance with the goal being six feet apart. “(Also the) communicable disease management plan and a ton of health and safety protocols at

every level of the school process will be put in place to ensure students are as safe as possible when they return,” she said. As for meeting the state requirement to wear masks, Wetherell said the current guidance for schools is to have students

ages 12 and up to wear masks. Students under 12 years don’t have to wear them. Wetherell sits on the governor’s Ready Schools council, comprised of about 50 people, and is working with the governor’s office to provide

guidance and support to form statewide perspective on reopening schools. In response to the President’s comments about requiring every school to reopen, Wetherell said, “Oregon is a state that will make decisions about what schools implement….”

“Oregon does a great job allowing communities to make the best decisions possible under a nice set of guidelines,” she continued. “…Everyone is working incredibly hard to develop the best possible plans to reopen while maintaining safety.”

NCAA lays out plan for playing football RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

The NCAA handed down its latest guidelines for playing through a pandemic while also sounding an alarm: The prospect of having a fall semester with football and other sports is looking grim. If the games can go on, the NCAA says college athletes should be tested for COVID-19 no more than 72 hours before they play, players with high-risk exposures to the coronavirus should be quarantined for 14 days and everybody on the sideline should wear a mask. The nation’s largest governing body for college sports released

an updated guidance Thursday to help member schools navigate competition, but it comes as the pandemic rages on. Around the country, the number of COVID-19 cases are on the rise and many states have slowed reopenings or reinstated social-distancing restrictions on some businesses. “This document lays out the advice of health care professionals as to how to resume college sports if we can achieve an environment where COVID-19 rates are manageable,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement. “Today, sadly, the data point in the wrong direction. If there is to be college sports in the fall, we need to get a much better

handle on the pandemic.” The recommendations were developed by the NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel, Autonomy-5 Medical Advisory Group, representing the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC, and other medical groups. The Autonomy-5 or Power Five conferences also intend to provide their own similar guidance to schools. A copy of that document, which has not been finalized, was obtained by The Associated Press and first reported on by Sports Illustrated. Even before the NCAA’s announcement, the American Athletic Conference said it planned to require its schools to meet or

exceed NCAA guidance. Among the highlights of the NCAA’s recommendations: — Test results should be obtained within 72 hours of competition for athletes competing in so-called high-contact risk sports, such as football, basketball, hockey and lacrosse. — Face shields should be integrated into sports where feasible. — Masks should be worn by everyone on a sideline, including when an athlete moves from the playing field to interact with a coach. — CDC guidelines should be used for determining when individuals can resume activities after testing positive for

COVID-19. Time-based strategy means isolation until 72 hours after recovery and at least 10 days after symptoms first appeared. — All individuals with highrisk exposure must be quarantined for 14 days. The final point could be crucial for managing a team this season. Simply being deemed a close contact of someone who tests positive could sideline players for two weeks. At this point, though, the hopes of being able to conduct a college football season in the fall are dimming. Plans are already being made to modify it. Please see Football, Page B3

Thorns knock out top seed HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) — Rookie Morgan Weaver scored in the 68th minute to send the Portland Thorns into the semifinals of the National Women’s Soccer League’s Challenge Cup with a surprising 1-0 upset victory over the two-time defending league champion North Carolina Courage on Friday. The win was eighth-seeded Portland’s first victory at the tournament, and it came with the team’s third-string goalkeeper Britt Eckerstrom in goal. The top-seeded Courage had won all four of their Challenge Cup games going into the match. Eckerstrom had a stunning game, finishing with eight saves. Weaver took a cross from Raquel Rodriguez and beat Courage goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland, putting North Carolina behind for the first time in the tournament, and the Thorns held on the rest of the way. It was the first professional goal for Weaver, who was the No. 2 pick in this year’s NWSL draft out of Washington State. Portland was hampered by injuries going into the game. Starting goalkeeper Adrianna Franch hasn’t played in the tournament because of a right knee injury. Backup Bella Bixby, who played in the first four games, was ruled out for Friday’s game because of a knee injury Portland’s backup for the game was goalkeeper coach Nadine Angerer, the former German national team standout who was the 2014 FIFA World Player of the Year. Eckerstrom turned away Debinha’s bending shot from distance in the 30th minute, making four saves in the first half alone. She stopped a dangerous header from Jessica McDonald in the 71st minute. But her big moment came when she denied Debinha on a curling free kick in the 79th minute. Portland’s Lindsey Horan started although she was questionable going into the game with a hip injury. She left the game at the start of the second half after a hard fall.

Students sharpen skills at soccer camp JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — Normally in the spring and fall, Coos County Youth Sports would have hundreds of kids playing soccer on up to 40 teams in the Bay Area. This year has not been like most. But this week and next, at least a group of those kids are able to shake off the rust and get to experience the sport to an extent in a camp on the Millicoma field in Eastside, organized by Kevin Dubisar, one of the group’s leaders. “We’ve been doing soccer spring and fall for eight years,” Dubisar said. “It’s awesome seeing the kids out in the fresh air. “To make it happen, it’s a little extra work, but it’s totally worth it.” Dubisar is following health guidelines including trying to keep the kids at least six feet apart as much as possible. His wife, Ali, checks the temperature of each student before every camp session and the students wash their hands before and

Each also uses a single ball, either their own or one supplied by the program, for most of the drills, rather than sharing balls. Those are washed after each practice in a cow trough with a cleanser.

For the start of drills, Dubisar painted orange dots at a little more than six-foot intervals on the field, starting each student on a different dot. Normally, he might use little cones instead of the dots, but he reasoned that the cones would be

one more thing he and Ali would have to clean at the end of each session. “With the school district, everything we use, we have to clean,” he said. Please see Soccer, Page B2

Black racing fans eye NASCAR’s work to diversify DAN GELSTON Associated Press

Kevin Johnson became enamored with NASCAR as a kid through clips on “ Wide World of Sports,” decades before billion-dollar broadcast deals when auto racing shared precious air time with barrel jumping and demolition derby. Raised in the South Bronx, Johnson considered himself “a closet NASCAR fan,” without a friend or family member who truly shared his interest in catching the latest race. “As you can imagine,” Johnson said, “there just simply weren’t a lot of people receptive to the sport given its history.” Johnson recalled staying in his Temple University dorm during the massive blizzard that wreaked havoc on the East Coast in 1979 to watch the Daytona

500, broadcast live in its entirety for the first time. His roommate was stuck elsewhere because of the weather, leaving Johnson alone with the TV. “Nobody knew,” Johnson said, laughing. “As a Black person in an urban area, it wasn’t acceptable. I wasn’t really out there. But that love continued to this day.” The 61-year-old Johnson, who has retired to Miami, shares his passion for the sport with a Black NASCAR Fans group on Facebook. The group’s bio says: “Yes we exist.” The fans share favorite race memories, photos of their collectibles and, yes, stories of the historically uneasy relationship NASCAR has had with the Black community. Johnson has been called racist slurs at the track, felt queasy at the sight of the Confederate flag

and often wondered if the goodol’-boy Southern attitudes seeped in the sport would ever fade. The catalyst for change has come for the U.S. with the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police. Not long after that, driver Bubba Wallace shoved NASCAR toward the overdue step of banning the Confederate flag, for decades a waving, nylon symbol to Blacks that they were not welcome in NASCAR Nation. The thought of facing the flag and the potential of alcohol-fueled anger from its staunchest defenders has kept many Black fans away and made the ones who did come watch their step. Johnson said banning the flag will make NASCAR “more inviting.” “We need to get more people, encourage more people of color to come and enjoy what goes on

around race weekend,” added Brad Daugherty, the lone Black team owner in NASCAR. According to NASCAR, the latest demographics show an overwhelmingly white fan base — 75% — but the multicultural slice of 25% has climbed from 20% in 2011. Black fans make up 9% of the total. The sight of Black fans lined against the Talladega fence to cheer for Wallace a day after a noose was found in his stall was a heartening moment for NASCAR. But earning the trust of a new generation of fans extends beyond “if you ban it, they will come.” NASCAR and its tracks need bolder attempts at ticket and community outreach programs, much in the way baseball, the NHL and the NBA celebrate pride or ethnic-themed nights. Minorities may not necessarily become the dominant demo-

graphic for the stock car series, but they can certainly grab a larger share of the marketplace. “I think the challenge for NASCAR is this: they spent a lot of time and money over the years building up a specific brand that centered on Confederate flag-waving Southern white folks as their target market, and aligned themselves with business partners and politicians who also found symmetry with this demographic group,” said Joshua Newman, a Florida State professor and author of “Sport, Spectacle, and NASCAR Nation: Consumption and the Cultural Politics of Neoliberalism.” “This worked well to create a very specific NASCAR culture, a spectacle of celebrity politicians, military flyovers, conservative symbolism, an all-white driver Please see NASCAR, Page B3

Olympics still on schedule for Tokyo 2020 TOKYO (AP) — The 42 venues for next year’s delayed Tokyo Olympics have been secured and the competition schedule will remain almost identical to the one that would have been used this year. The Athletes Village and the main press center have also been lined up for 2021. That was the message delivered Friday to IOC members by Tokyo organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori and CEO Toshiro Muto. They spoke from Japan to a full session of the IOC membership meeting online. Estimates in Japan say the delay will cost $2 billion to $6 billion, with Japanese taxpayers picking up most of the bills. Olympic officials have not given any overall cost estimates, and have not specified the cost of renegotiating contracts for venues and other facilities. “Now we have a mammoth task ahead of us,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Friday. “Organizing these postponed Olympic Games is very different from organizing Olympic Games in normal circumstances. Nobody knows today how the world will look in July and August of next year. This is why we have to prepare for multiple scenarios.” The opening ceremony for the Olympics will be on July 23, 2021. However, women’s softball and soccer will open on July 21, men’s soccer on July 22, and archery and rowing on July 23. On July 24, the first full day after the opening, the first medal event will be the women’s 10-meter air rifle. Unlike the large, public celebration of a year ago, local organizers at the last minute have put together a

more modest, non-public event for Thursday inside the new $1.43 billion national stadium to mark one year to go. Organizers have teased a possible appearance of the Olympic flame. Mori said the flame, which arrived in Japan in March, was being stored and still burned in the Japanese capital. He said putting it on display at Japan’s new Olympic museum was being planned “at a future date.” He did not offer any specifics. Mori, addressing the roughly 100 IOC members, said: “I know that the postponement of the games has been very difficult for all of you. It has been painful for me, too.” Bach, speaking earlier in the week, said empty venues were an option — but not a preference — in the long list of possibilities for Tokyo. “It includes all different countermeasures: quarantine, you name it,” Bach said. “But, Olympic Games behind closed doors is clearly something we do not want. We are working for a solution of the Olympic Games which, on the one hand is safeguarding the health of all the participants, and on the other hand is also reflecting the Olympic spirit.” Japan has been spared the severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has reported about 1,000 deaths, but new infections in Tokyo have been rising for the last few weeks. They reached almost 300 on Friday, the highest single day count in the capital. Bach and Japanese officials have talked about the need to “simplify” the games, but have given no specifics. There have been reports about downsizing the torch relay, or combining the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics and Paralympics.

Sprinter Stevens gets 18-month ban GENEVA (AP) — Olympic finalist sprinter Deajah Stevens was banned for 18 months on Thursday for missing doping tests and will miss the Tokyo Games. The Athletics Integrity Unit, which prosecutes cases in track and field, said Stevens was unavailable for three doping controls in 2019 in Oregon and West Hollywood. Three whereabouts violations within one year can lead to a ban. The third and decisive missed test came when she could not be contacted after changing her telephone number to avoid harassment by an unknown individual, the disciplinary tribunal was told. The 25-year-old American runner’s ban was backdated to start on Feb. 17, 2020. It will expire days after the scheduled closing ceremony of the postponed Tokyo Olympics in August 2021. The ruling came while another Olympic medal prospect from the United States, men’s 100-meter world champion Christian Coleman, is under an AIU investigation for missed tests. Coleman was pro-

visionally suspended one month ago. Stevens is a 200-meter specialist who placed seventh in the final at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and fifth at the 2017 world championships in London. She was a standout for the University of Oregon in her college days. In the 2019 season of her missed doping controls, she did not make the U.S. team for the world championships in Doha, Qatar. Stevens cited issues with her telephone for sample collections officials being unable to contact her for two of the missed visits, according to the published ruling from her disciplinary hearing. On one occasion her phone ran out of battery power overnight, and another time she changed number six weeks earlier because of being harassed, the ruling stated. “Despite our sympathy for the athlete, we have not been satisfied on a balance of probability that her behavior was not negligent,” the disciplinary panel said, noting the two previous whereabouts failures for Stevens.

The students have been broken into two sessions, younger players earlier in the afternoon and older ones later. Within those sessions, as much as possible, the kids are divided into smaller groups of eight students or less. Several parents were helping with the younger students Wednesday, which made that easier. “The main concern is

we’re doing our best to keep them healthy,” Dubisar said. Dubisar is quite familiar with a lot of the players, who have been with Coos County Youth Sports for years. He’s enjoying seeing new faces, too. “Some of them, this is their first time doing soccer,” he said. They are learning some of the basic skills of the game, the focus of the younger clinic, for players up to third grade. For the older ones, to make things more fun, Ali

said. He has a hunch many of the kids are playing video games a lot more than they are being active outside. Dubisar said the current plan for the fall season is to start practice in September and games in October, provided the state doesn’t have to go into stricter rules because of the ongoing pandemic. “We’re really flexible right now,” he said. To learn more, people can visit the Coos County Youth Sports Facebook page.

Henry’s deal is win-win for RB and Titans NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Derrick Henry wanted the assurance of a long-term contract with the Tennessee Titans rather than risk playing this season under the franchise tag, and the NFL rushing leader said his new deal is a win-win for him and the team. Helping the Titans create some extra room under the salary cap to possibly add someone like Jadeveon Clowney will be a big bonus in the negotiations for Henry. “If it gives us more room to bring in somebody else to help this team, then I’m all for it,” Henry said Thursday. “Anytime you can improve your team at a position that we need it’s always a big benefit. Hopefully my deal possibly did that. Hopefully we can bring in somebody that can help this team and improve us more.” Henry talked with reporters Thursday in a video teleconference a day after he and the Titans agreed to an four-year extension worth $50 million with $25.5 million guaranteed.

Both sides had talked for months, even before the Titans applied the franchise tag, and through the past week. Yet the deal wasn’t completed until a couple hours before the NFL deadline. “We’ve all been watching, seeing it all over everywhere about the COVID and all the uncertainties, I just felt like it made sense, we felt like it made sense,” said Henry, who became a father this offseason with the birth of his daughter. “I was glad to be able to lock this up and get it over with.” With Henry’s deal now complete, the Titans added approximately $4 million of room under the salary cap. Tennessee currently ranks fifth in the NFL for most cap space with Spotrac.com estimating the Titans with $24.1 million in space trailing Cleveland, Washington, Miami and Cincinnati. Clowney reportedly wants to join a team in position to compete for a

championship. The Titans fit that having posted four straight 9-7 seasons, the NFL’s fourth-longest active winning streak behind only the Patriots, Seahawks and Chiefs. They’re also coming off their first AFC championship game appearance in 17 years. Coach Mike Vrabel was the Texans’ defensive coordinator in 2017 when Clowney played all 16 games for the only time in his career. General manager Jon Robinson has made clear the Titans, who tied for 13th with 43 sacks last season, are interested in Clowney. Henry said Clowney is a great player who’s been playing at a high level for a while. “If he wants to come to Tennessee we definitely would welcome him with open arms,” Henry said. “Hopefully, if they are talking, we can get something done and he can come join us. We definitely would love to have him, and he could help us in a big way.” The Titans are scheduled to report for training camp July 28.

Washington owner vows culture change Associated Press Washington NFL owner Dan Snyder said Friday he’s committed to improving the culture inside the team after allegations of sexual harassment, while the league will wait for a law firm’s review before taking action. The Washington Post reported Thursday that 15 female former employees said they were sexually harassed during their time with the team. Snyder said the behavior described in the story “has no place in our franchise or society.” He hired District of Columbia law firm Wilkinson

and Walsh to conduct an independent review of team policies, culture and allegations of workplace misconduct. The league said in a statement it will meet with lawyers after the investigation is complete and will act based on the findings. Snyder also pledged to make organizational changes. “Beth Wilkinson and her firm are empowered to do a full, unbiased investigation and make any and all requisite recommendations,” Snyder said. “Upon completion of her work, we will institute new policies and procedures and strengthen our human

resources infrastructure to not only avoid these issues in the future but most importantly create a team culture that is respectful and inclusive of all.” He said the commitment to establishing a new culture and higher standard began with the hiring of Ron Rivera as coach this year. Rivera told The Athletic he was brought in to change the culture and “create an environment of inclusion.” The NFL said it expects the team and all employees to be cooperative but is not yet making its own review of the team. “These matters as report-

ed are serious, disturbing and contrary to the NFL’s values,” the league said. “Everyone in the NFL has the right to work in an environment free from any and all forms of harassment.” Director of player personnel Alex Santos, assistant Richard Mann II and longtime broadcaster and senior vice president Larry Michael are no longer with the team. Michael announced Wednesday he was retiring after 16 years. Santos, Mann, Michael and former business executives Dennis Greene and Mitch Gershman were mentioned in the Post story.

Edmonton CFL team reportedly will change nickname EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League reportedly will change their name. The team would not confirm the two reports. TSN and Postmedia say the team will make a switch following this

say the Edmonton team’s name is a derogatory, colonial-era term for Inuit. Aaron Paquette, a city councilor in Edmonton, tweeted that he had an “extremely productive” meeting with the club Thursday. He said he was “very impressed with the potential coming out of our conversation.” In February, the club said it was keeping the name following yearlong research that involved Inuit leaders and community members across Canada. The club said it received “no consensus.” On July 8, the club promised to speed another review and provide an update by the end of the month. One of the team’s sponsors, national car-and-home insurance provider Be-

lairdirect, is rethinking its relationship with the club because of the name. Other sponsors also said they would welcome a review. Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson has said the team should take steps toward a change. It’s unclear when Edmonton would play its first game with a new name, if the change goes through. The CFL in June postponed the start of its 2020 season because of the pandemic, and there is no guarantee the league will play this year. Although American Inuit continue to use the word Eskimo, Canada’s northern people left that name behind about the same time they began negotiating their land claim in the 1970s.

Scotty Kennon finishes third at AJGA tourney The World Former Bandon student Scotty Kennon had his best finish of the season in the American Junior Golf Association with a third-place finish at the Wincraft/ McArthur Towel & Sports Future Legends last week. Kennon shot rounds of 72, 68 and 75 to finish the event 1-under par. It was his fourth tournament of the year. Earlier he tied for 41st in the AJGA Invitational at Sedgefield, tied for 44th at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley and tied for 60th at the AJGA Simplify Boys Championship at Carlton Woods. Kennon helped Bandon win a state title as a freshman in high school before transferring to the IMG Academy in Florida. He will graduate next spring and is verbally committed to Wake Forest University. He ranks 42nd in the Roles AJGA Rankings. In last week’s tournament, he finished behind Braeden Sladek of Minnesota, who finished at 4-under. Kurtis Rodriguez of Red Bluff, Calif., was second at 2-under.

OGA Meanwhile, Kennon’s younger sister, Cassie,

placed 12th in the Southern Oregon Junior at Rogue Valley Country Club this week. She was one of several South Coast golfers who played in the Oregon Golf Association junior event. Kennon, who just turned 14 last week, was competing in the top girls Open Division for players 12 to 18. She shot a 15-over 88 in the opening round and followed with an 89 in the second round, finishing in 12th place at 177. Yvonne Vinceri won with a score of 150 over the two rounds. Peyton Simonds of Bandon played in the Intermediate Boys (12-13) division, shooting 84 in the first round and 80 in the second to place eighth at 164. Drew Woolworth was an impressive 2-under for the two days, including shooting a round of 4-under Tuesday on the way to victory. Jackson Simonds, Peyton’s younger brother, was in the Peewee boys (10-11) age group, shooting 51 for nine holes Monday and 50 on Tuesday. Sevren Quinn, another Bandon youth, played in the same age group, shooting 41 in the first round and 42 in the second to tie for fourth. Jordan Giles

won the age group, shooting 37 the first day and 36 the second. Another South Coast golfer in the tournament at Medford was Lucas Vanderlip of Gold Beach, who played in the Intermediate Boys division. He shot a 77 in the first round and an 81 in the second to finish seventh, one spot in front of Jackson Simonds. Vanderlip tied for eighth in the Intermediate Boys (12-13) division at the Central Willamette Junior at Willamette Valley Country Club and Arrowhead Golf Club last week, shooting an 81 in the first round and a 79 in the second.

Oregon Stroke Play Gary Coots of Bandon finished third in the open division at the Oregon Stroke Play Championships at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis Coots finished at 17-over par for the two rounds, shooting a 78 in the first round and 81 in the second. Billy Anderson of Eugene won the division with a two-day total of 145 that included a 71 in the second round. The event, sponsored by the Oregon Golf Association, was held last weekend.

Lots of room for NASCAR fans at Texas this week FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The massive grandstands at Texas Motor Speedway are 2/3 of a mile long and were empty for the last race there. On Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series race becomes the first major sporting event in Texas in more than four months to allow spectators. It could be one of the largest gatherings of any kind in the state since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Just how many show up on a hot day with the virus still raging is another question. “It can absorb a lot of people and you never cross paths with another soul,” track president Eddie Gossage said of the facility 20 miles north of downtown Fort Worth. In Tennessee, Bristol was allowed to sell up to 30,000 tickets, about 20% of its capacity of 140,000plus, and appeared to have at least 20,000 spectators for NASCAR’s All-Star race Wednesday night. Speedway Motorsports, which owns Bristol and Texas, is a private com-

pany like NASCAR, and does not release official attendance numbers. Texas has about 135,000 seats and under plans approved by the state could allow as much as 50% capacity. But there isn’t expected to be anywhere close to the possible 67,500 or so spectators. The crowd Sunday will more likely be similar to the one seen Wednesday night at its sister track. “To be perfectly honest, I think the place is going to look mostly empty,” Gossage said, without giving or confirming any specific numbers. “We’re a different configuration than Bristol, and so they won’t stand out as much as they did at Bristol, even if we have the same number of people.” Frontstretch seating at the 1 1/2-mile Texas track alone is longer than the entire length of Bristol’s half-mile track, where “The Last Great Colosseum” is shaped as a massive bowl. Texas hosted the IndyCar season opener June 6 without any

spectators, then submitted and received approval by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office to have fans at the NASCAR race. Since then, spikes in new coronavirus cases and a surge in hospitalizations have led to new limits for the public and sports is far from normal. The PGA Tour resumed its season last month at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth without fans in attendance. With MLB opening without fans next week, the Texas Rangers will play with the seats empty in their new $1.2 billion stadium. Motorsports for now are still allowed at up to 50% of normal capacity if the facilities, including smaller local tracks, can ensure appropriate social distancing. “What we took out of it is, it was no surprise.

line-up — for many years, but not always — and grandstands filled with predominantly white consumer fans,” Newman said. “It was unique in the North American sports landscape for its racial homogeneity and pronounced affiliations with one political party.” But cultural politics can change and NASCAR’s boom has faded. To Newman, that means NASCAR limited its growth potential and now must find a solution. Could Wallace, who finished second in the 2018 Daytona 500, engage new fans if he won a checkered flag or two driving for an underfunded team? Would a diversity program that places more drivers in the Cup Series — where Wallace is the only Black driver — broaden exposure and create fans of all genders, ethnicities and backgrounds? NASCAR has worked on building awareness among multicultural audiences for years, including Latino-focused efforts at Auto Club Speedway

The Big Ten and Pac12 announced last week that they would play only conference games in football and other sports to help minimize potential disruptions caused by COVID-19. The Big East joined those leagues Thursday by going conference-only for the fall season, which for the basketball-focused league includes men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross-country, volleyball and field hockey. Other FBS conferences have not decided yet on scheduling formats for the coming football season, instead waiting until late July. The regular season is scheduled to begin around Labor Day weekend, with dozens of game slated for Sept. 3-7. “Right now we’d like to buy as much time as possible,” AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco told Sports Talk 790 in Houston. Meanwhile, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference on Thursday became the third Division I conference to say it will not have a fall sports sea-

son. The MEAC, comprising 11 historically black colleges and universities, joined fellow FCS conferences the Ivy League and Patriot League in punting on fall football and other sports, with the hopes of making them up in the spring semester if possible. At most major college football schools, athletes started coming back to campus in June to participate in voluntary workouts in team facilities. This week football teams were allowed to begin mandatory team activities, including unpadded walkthrough practices. Through the last month and half schools have been testing athletes regularly, and already some flare ups of the virus have caused activities to be shut down at schools such as Ohio State, Kansas State, Houston and North Carolina. At many school, positive tests among athletes have been minimal. On Thursday, Oklahoma reported it had zero positive tests among 98 football players tested the day before. The problem is colleges and their athletic departments are not operating in a true bubble the way the NBA is doing with its teams in Florida. If states and communities are strug-

gling to contain the virus, it makes it more difficult to keep athletes safe — especially when the full student body arrives on campus. It also becomes more problematic for athletic departments to potentially contribute to the spread of infection by gathering large groups of people to engage in contact sports, and then sending them back out on campus and into the surrounding communities. “So nothing that occurs to the student athlete is in a silo,” said Dr. Chris Kratochvil, executive director of the Global Center for Health Security at University of Nebraska Medical Center. “And certainly we want to protect them, but we want to protect the broader community as well.” Kratochvil, who heads the Big Ten’s Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases, said the availability of tests and how quickly results can be delivered, the availability of personal protective equipment used by healthcare workers and the stress on hospitals will all be considered when determining whether college sports can be played. “Everything is connected,” he said.

in California. Last year, NASCAR and the Urban Chamber of Commerce in Las Vegas teamed with a local youth group to bring a group of Black children to the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The Drive for Diversity program dates to 2004 and a separate effort to work with key minority business and community leaders started three years later. “If people look at the sport and see the stars of the sport are representative of different groups, I think it’s just another step toward making the sport feel more open to a larger audience of folks,” Drive for Diversity director Jusan Hamilton said. “If people look at the sport and feel that it’s open, that in turn will help make more folks be interested in coming to the sport.” The few Black drivers who came before Wallace have heard that hopefulness before only to often end up discouraged at the frayed bond between NASCAR and minorities. “It’s time to realize it’s a new day,” said Bill Lester, who made 145 career NASCAR starts from 19992006. “Not all the race car

drivers happen to be white. There are people of color. There are women out there who want to race.” Lester said he believes NASCAR President Steve Phelps, who tearfully told Wallace about the noose in the garage, and veteran executive Brandon Thompson can provoke tangible culture change within the sport. “There’s a willingness to listen and engage that NASCAR has that I don’t believe they were sincere about earlier,” Lester said. Still, Wallace is one of just a handful of non-white drivers. Daniel Suarez is Mexican and Aric Almirola is of Cuban descent. Kyle Larson, who is half Asian, was fired in April for using a racial slur. NASCAR met this month with the Rev. Greg Drumwright, who organized members of his ministry to make the trip to Talladega to support Wallace. Drumwright said he and his group planned to attend other races, too, and he posted a series of encouraging interactions on his Twitter feed from the All-Star race at Bristol on Wednesday. “We don’t want window

dressing,” Drumwright said. “This is a national dialogue.” Toni Addison, her husband and three children of Newark, Delaware, have never attended a NASCAR race. They drive by Dover International Speedway on race weekends and catch a glimpse of the carnival-type atmosphere at the track and wondered if they’d feel welcomed. “It sounds like something we’d be interested in,” Addison said. “But guess I couldn’t wear my Black Live Matter shirt or my Barack Obama shirt to that. I’m a (Dallas) Cowboys fan. It’s kind of like a Cowboys fan doesn’t go into the Eagles stadium, at least not with all the Cowboys gear on.” She’s become one of Wallace’s newest fans (“I didn’t even know there was a Black NASCAR driver”) and watched him slap hands with fans at Talladega, but acknowledged “fear may keep me away from that.” “My impression of it is they’re mostly Trump supporters, Confederate flag supporters,” the 51-yearold Addison said. “I don’t know how comfortable I would feel fitting in.”

The World

Stress rises for unemployed as benefit nears end WASHINGTON (AP) — A major source of income for roughly 30 million unemployed people is set to end, threatening their ability to meet rent and pay bills and potentially undercutting the fragile economic recovery. In March, Congress approved an extra $600 in weekly unemployment benefits as part of its $2 trillion relief package aimed at offsetting the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. That additional payment expires next week unless it gets renewed. For Henry Montalvo, who was furloughed from his job as a banquet server and bartender in Phoenix in mid-March, the expiration of the $600 will cut his unemployment benefits by two-thirds. He uses the money to help support his three children and pregnant girlfriend. “Now that it’s about to end, that grim and uneasy feeling is coming back and really fast,” Montalvo said. The unemployment insurance program has emerged as a crucial source of support at a time when the jobless rate is at Depression-era levels. In May, unemployment benefits made up 6% of all U.S. income, ahead of even Social Security, and up dramatically from February, when it amounted to just 0.1% of national income. “The increase has likely done as much or more to limit wide-

spread hardship like food insecurity, homelessness, utility cutoffs, and mental health challenges, as any provision Congress has enacted in response to the pandemic and recession,” said Indivar Dutta-Gupta, co-executive director of the Georgetown Center on Poverty & Inequality. Congress enacted the extra payment for just four months, largely on the assumption that the viral outbreak would subside by late July and the economy would be well on the way to recovery. But confirmed case counts are rising in 40 states and 22 states are either reversing or pausing their reopening efforts, threatening to slow rehiring. The number of people seeking weekly jobless aid has leveled off at roughly 1.3 million, after falling steadily in May and early June. Eliminating the extra payment would cut benefits for most recipients by 50% to 75%, depending on the size of each state’s unemployment benefit, which varies based on a worker’s prior income. Arizona’s maximum payment of $240 is near the low end, while Massachusetts is among the most generous, with a weekly maximum payment of more than $800. Other measures intended to shore up business and household finances, such as one-time payments of $1,200 and a small business lending program, have

also largely run their course. That could sharpen the impact of the pandemic-induced job losses, which have pushed the unemployment rate to 11.1%. Another government rescue package is in the works and some sort of extended extra benefit is possible. Trump administration officials have expressed support for more aid and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has signaled a willingness to compromise. House Democrats passed legislation last month to extend the benefits to the end of January. “They need to buy food. These are necessities. And when you use that money for necessities they inject demand into the economy and create jobs,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. The extra $600 was initially agreed upon because, for an average worker, it made their jobless benefits equal to their previous pay. Most states’ antiquated unemployment systems weren’t able to calculate a percentage increase in benefits that would have accomplished that for laid-off workers at different income levels. Layoffs since the pandemic struck have been heavily concentrated in low-paying service industries such as restaurants, bars, and retailers, where workers make below-average

incomes. That has made the $600 a boon to such workers, who are disproportionately Black and Hispanic. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 42% of the people getting the extra $600 are nonwhite. Many businesses say they have had trouble enticing their former employees to return to their jobs given the generous unemployment benefit. Yet government data shows that in May there were four unemployed people for every available job, a sign that the biggest challenge facing the economy is a lack of jobs, not workers. Meagan Fredette had three jobs as a freelance writer before the pandemic and lost two. She is now working just one day a week. As it is, she makes less from benefits than she did from work. If the $600 expires, her benefits will drop to just $200 a week in state aid, not enough to pay rent in New York City, where she lives. Fredette, almost 35, says she has trouble sleeping because of the stress and anxiety. “It’s not like I don’t want to work — I had three jobs,” she says. “In normal times if I was experiencing this kind of financial wreck I would get a job at Whole Foods or a restaurant, but they are barely open and can barely bring back the staff they do have.” Many state limits on evictions

will expire by this fall, raising the risk that more unemployed could become homeless. Congress suspended evictions from public housing in late March but only until July 25. The COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project estimates that 19 million to 23 million people could be thrown out of their apartments by the end of September. The additional aid has also likely boosted the economy by supporting Americans’ ability to spend. Sales at retail stores and restaurants rebounded in May and June to higher levels than a year ago. A new report suggests the additional aid enabled unemployed workers to actually increase their spending above pre-pandemic levels. If the $600 ends as scheduled, Montalvo is not sure what his next steps will be. He worked at the Phoenix Convention Center and with no one booking events, he worries that his furlough will soon become permanent. He may have to return to his previous job in construction, where many members of his extended family work, but worries about his exposure amid a surge in cases in Arizona. More than a dozen of his family members have tested positive for the coronavirus, and two are still in the hospital. “It’s not if I get sick, it’s when,” he said.

Pentagon bans Confederate flag on military installations

Former Fed officials urge more efforts to bolster economy

WASHINGTON (AP) — After weeks of wrangling, the Pentagon is banning displays of the Confederate flag on military installations, in a carefully worded policy that doesn’t mention the word ban or that specific flag. The policy, laid out in a memo released Friday, was described by officials as a creative way to bar the flag’s display without openly contradicting or angering President Donald Trump, who has defended people’s rights to display it. Signed by Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Thursday night, the memo lists the types of flags that may be displayed at military installations. The Confederate flag is not among them — thus barring its display without singling it out in a “ban.” Details of the policy were first reported by the AP. “We must always remain focused on what unifies us, our sworn oath to the Constitution and our shared duty to defend the nation,” Esper’s memo states. “The flags we fly must accord with the military imperatives of good order and discipline, treating all our people with dignity and respect, and rejecting divisive symbols.” Acceptable flags listed in the memo include the U.S. and state banners, flags of other allies and partners, the widely displayed POW/MIA flag and official military unit flags. Confederate flags, monuments and military base names have become a national flashpoint in the weeks since the death of George Floyd. Protesters decrying racism have targeted Confederate monu-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen urged Congress on Friday to do more to help the economy deal with the devastating coronavirus pandemic, such as extending increased unemployment benefits and providing assistance to hard-hit states and local governments, something many Republicans oppose. The two former Fed leaders, making their first appearances before a congressional panel since leaving the central bank, praised the efforts already made by the Fed and Congress but said both should be ready to do more given the severity of the shock the economy has endured. Congress, which has already provided more than $3 trillion in support, is scheduled to begin negotiations next week on further support. Yellen and Bernanke, in a joint statement to a House Oversight subcommittee, said that the new measure should provide substantial support to state and local governments. The administration and many GOP members of

ments in multiple cities. Some state officials are considering taking them down, but they face vehement opposition in some areas. According to a Defense Department official familiar with the matter, the decision not to name a specific prohibited flag was to ensure the policy would be apolitical and could withstand potential legal challenges based on free speech. The official said the White House is aware of the new policy. Trump has flatly rejected any notion of changing base names, and has defended the flying of the Confederate flag, saying it’s a freedom of speech issue. According to Esper’s memo, the display of unauthorized flags — such as the Confederate banner carried during the Civil War — is acceptable in museums, historical exhibits, works of art or other educational programs. The Marine Corps has already banned the Confederate flag. Gen. David Berger, the commandant of the Marine Corps, directed his commanders in early June to remove public displays of the Confederate battle flag. That flag, which some embrace as a symbol of heritage, “carries the power to inflame feelings of division” and can weaken the unit cohesion that combat requires, Berger said. Military commands in South Korea and Japan quickly followed suit. The new policy does not affect or rescind those bans. The other three military services were all moving to enact similar

bans, but they paused when Esper made it known he wanted a consistent policy across the whole department. Now they will instead issue this new policy to their troops and employees. Defense leaders have for weeks been tied in knots over the incendiary issue of banning the Confederate flag, An early draft of the Defense Department plan banned display of the Confederate flag, saying the prohibition would preserve “the morale of our personnel, good order and discipline within the military ranks and unit cohesion.” That version was shelved, and officials have been struggling since then to come up with a policy that would have the same effect but not create political havoc. Esper discussed the matter with senior leaders during a meeting Wednesday, including some of the legal issues surrounding a variety of bans, which some officials believe could be challenged in court. The final version is a compromise that enables Esper to enact a ban that passes legal muster and gives military leaders what they want, but doesn’t infuriate the commander in chief. According to the official, the new policy doesn’t undo the bans already in place, and service chiefs and secretaries will still be able to enact additional more stringent policies restricting symbols they believe are divisive and harmful to unit cohesion. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss decisions not yet made public.

Congress are arguing for restraint, saying the federal government should not be bailing out states. But in their statement, Yellen and Bernanke said, “The enormous loss of revenue from the recession, together with the new responsibilities imposed by the pandemic, has put state and local budgets deeply in the red.” The two argued that Congress needs to avoid the mistakes made during the Great Recession when state and local governments did not get adequate support and this ended up making the downturn worse and the subsequent recovery painfully slow. “Federal support should be substantial and without overly restrictive conditions on the aid,” Yellen and Bernanke said in their statement. The two also urged lawmakers to adequately fund enhanced unemployment benefits, which are scheduled to stop at the end of this month, and to do so in a way that would allow the extra support to continue without additional action by Congress as long as the jobless rate remains at elevated levels in particular areas of the country.

Pretti sculptures at Hawthorne Gallery VICTORIA TIERNEY For The World

PORT ORFORD —“Finding My Voice with Words & Pictures,” a show of 13 new sculptures by Port Orford artist Janet Pretti, plus a new book designed and written by the artist, will be on display at the Hawthorne Gallery starting Saturday, July 25, and continuing through the end of 2020. The public is invited to a reception which is part of the general Art Walk (with masks and social distancing) that afternoon from 2-6 p.m. The Hawthorne Gallery is located at 517 Jefferson St., on U.S. Highway 101 right next to Battle Rock, adjacent to the Hawthorne’s Redfish Restaurant. As befits an educator — Pretti recently retired from her role of Dean of the Curry Campus of Southwestern Oregon Community College in Brookings where she helped coordinate the construction of a 25,000 square-foort facility in Brookings, organize the yearly writing conference in Gold Beach, and oversee the entire teaching program — she has fashioned a beautifully written and illustrated book which illuminates the process whereby she spent the last five years bringing these 13 sculptures to life in bronze, wood, found objects and painted words. I recently went down to visit Pretti’s studio in the basement of the home on Garrison Lake in Port Orford, which she has shared for 32 years with her husband Lonnie Pretti, a retired commercial fisherman whom she describes in her book as having enriched her life with “at least one good bellylaugh a day.” While in her studio, I discovered that the figure in “Finding My Voice” is removable, and when I removed it I was able to see more clearly the 33 steps involved in creating a Janet Pretti sculpture. I took a photo and here it is. How to make a Janet Pretti sculpture, the steps: 1. Start at the center, the core of your being, and decide what Question you wish to address. Then spiral outward. 2. Name it. 3. Wonder. 4. Ask why 5. Imagine 6. Research. 7. Write 8. Explore possibilities 9.Narrow the focus 10. Os it worth pursu-

Cull (all this is PRIOR to the actual physical creation of the sculpture. Sometimes this takes YEARS! Now the sculpting begins:) 19. Act 20. Bend wire 21. Add wax 22. Mouth or no mouth? 23. Cast 24. Chase and patina 25. Write 26. What are the arms doing? 27. Laminate and carve 28. Write 29. Where are they? (the bronze torsos and wooden arms of the figures are complete. The players are ready to strut and fret their hour upon the stage. What is the stageset? What is the play?) 30. Base (the stage is set, with backdrops and props) 31. Paint 32. Final adjustments 33. (note that this word is turned OUTWARD, towards US, the public. This is what Pretti thinks of as the POLITICAL aspect of her art): Share. Some of the questions Pretti has set herself in these 13 new works include “What Have we Done?” which explores the state of politics in our country at this time, our use of misinformation and racism to promote political

agendas (a very prescient piece considering it was begun in 2016); “Puberty” (an exploration of how advertising affects the body image of young women); “The Future” (about climate change; the accompanying essay in the book quotes Greta Thunberg’s address to the United Nations); “Cages” (what kinds of PTSD do we create when we separate very young childen from their parents?; and “The Blame Game” (a trenchant comment on the finger-pointing that has such divisive effects upon endeavors ranging from running a community college to running a country. Pretti’s willingness to “dig deeper,” “wonder.” “imagine” and “write” about the questions that enliven her work stem from her conviction that we are moving from the “Age of Information” (engendered by the marvelous possibilities offered by Dr. Google who has brought the world to our fingertips) to what she likes to call “The Age of Meaning.” When I went down to her studio and then spent several

ty Theatre was built in a Moorish Revival style in 1924. This included arched doorways, tall pilasters and Moorish domes on top of the roof. In 1975, the roof was leaking, and the domes were removed to replace the roofing material. One of the domes was repurposed into a fireplace in a local home. The new flat roof will replace the 24-year-old existing roofing material. Originally scheduled to be in 2023 and Phase VII, the domes and reroofing are being done now as the NPS recognized that there was a need to restore historic theaters, and the Liberty is among eight theater projects around the state were selected in a competitive grant process. This grant was funded through a

grant to the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office from the National Park Service Historic Revitalization Subgrant Program. The goal of the HRSP is to support the rehabilitation of historic properties at the national, state and local level of significance in order to rehabilitate, protect and foster economic development of rural communities through subgrants which come from states, tribes, certified local governments and nonprofits able to support a subgrant program. This program will fund physical preservation projects for historic sites to include architectural/engineering services and physical preservation.

Two metal domes will crafted by Shane McGowne, at McGowne Ironworks, a local sheet metal contractor. They will each measure approximately 16 feet in diameter. A 20-foot flagpole will extend from the top of each dome, secured with a substantial support base to anchor it inside the dome. A metal pennant will be affixed atop each flagpole, with the ability to rotate with changing wind direction.

is in the process of undertaking a multi-year/multi-phase capital campaign to enhance and expand North Bend’s historic Liberty Theatre. This 96-year-old treasure serves as the premier community theatre and performing arts venue in the North Bend/ Coos Bay area. LTOB is a nonprofit organization whose mission is “to cultivate the arts in Coos County.” The roots of the LTOB were formed in 1947 when a group of actors joined together to produce live radio plays in the greater North Bend/Coos Bay area. The popularity of these programs led this grass roots group to coalesce into a formal organization one year later. The next step in their organizational

evolution took place in 1951 when the LTOB received 501(c) (3) tax exempt recognition from the IRS. LTOB enjoys the distinction of being the second longest continuously operating theatrical arts group in the state. Over the past 71 years the LTOB has enjoyed numerous sold out shows, entertained countless audience members, and nurtured the talents of actors, directors, and technicians all ages. Operating as an all-volunteer organization, the LTOB has been able to sustain operations, purchase the Liberty Theatre and enhance and expand this downtown landmark.

Each of these objectives have several operational focus points identified to guide the Chamber’s efforts. In

fact, many were guided by a board director champion, with specific results tracked quarterly. This is your Chamber! We listen and respond to what you, the members, would like to see done and are willing to put your time into. Therefore, be watching in your email box, beginning Sept. 1 for this year’s survey. It will be up for a month, giving you plenty of time to respond. Last year we enjoyed a strong participation by the

assist the Curry Campus of Southwestern Oregon Community College. On the page about “Joy” Pretti writes: “One day, on the way to work, I drove by a family parked at an overlook, just as a child leaped into the air, shout-

ing and pointing. I knew without a doubt that she had seen a whale spouting for the first time. The day before a campus project had had a major setback. It was the split second image of her pure joy, discovery and wonder that inspired me to forge

ahead through all the construction issues and the unexpected conflicts and chaos that its transformative change brought after opening. For the next five years I felt a rush of joy every time I rounded the corner into the parking lot and saw the campus

ahead. As I prepared for retirement, I wanted a reminder of that improbable journey.” In this difficult and troubled year, here is a show to lift your spirits. It will be there through December. I hope many of you get down to see it!

own. She has lots of love to give.

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

The World

This week in Coos County history: July 15-18 100 YEARS — 1920 North Bank Road ordered opened

One of former photographer Lou Sennick’s favorite sports pictures, taken during a meet at Mingus Park pool

Will extend along North side of Coquille Highway will be great convenience for people of Beaver Hill and other districts (Special to the Coos Bay Times) COQUILLE, OR. — The county court made an order formally opening the North Bank road. This is the road on the north side of the Coquille River extending from Green Point, near Beaver Hill, to a point a mile below Lampa. Work will begin within a week. Slashing and clearing and some grading will be done this fall. A special tax was voted by the residents last November to be expended at the discretion of the court on roads within the district, and this money, aggregating about $15,000, will be used for the expense of crossing Beaver Slough marsh. This money will likely be supplemented by funds from the Port of Bandon, and also the new drainage district now in the process of organization, and a dike rather than a trestle will most likely be built across the marsh, a distance of about 230 feet.

Quinney takes Amateur title By John Gunther Sports Editor BANDON — There are a number of impressive names on the Pacific Northwest Golf Association Men’s Amateur champion trophy, led by Tiger Woods, who won in 1994. Now Jeff Quinney’s name is on the trophy twice. Quinney, who grew up in Eugene, beat Han Lee 5 and 4 in the final Saturday at Bandon Dunes to claim his second title in the event. “I’m just glad to be done,” said Quinney as he relaxed in the Bandon Dunes lodge after beating Lee and completing the 36-hole final, his fifth match in three days. “It was a long week.” Quinney kept the final math short by winning it on the 14th hole of the second round Saturday. He overcame an early two-hole deficit with a great stretch of holes during the morning round.

Another vessel is completed The Pacific launched at North Bend lsat night Will be sold later by Kruse and Banks — of same type as the Hanify steamers A new steam schooner, the Pacific, built by Kruse and Banks, was launched last night. It is 222 feet long and is like the Hanify boats, excepting that it is ten feet shorter. The boat is owned by Kruse and Banks and will be sold to anyone wanting to buy it.

Road bond plan given approval Taken up by Chamber of Commerce directors Suggested half of the bonds be sold in county if highway commission sells the rest At a meeting of the directors of the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce the plan of J.O. Stemmler for selling the state highways bonds to compete the roadway between Coquille and Myrtle Point was taken up. The Chamber endorsed a plan for half of the bonds to be sold in Coos county through the co-operation of the local banks, provided that the state highway commission would dispose of the other half of the bonds in some way. The total amount of bonds necessary to sell would be about $160,000.

Fine new rural school is begun District No. 5, near Myrtle Point, starts building. J.M. Wright & Sons awarded general contract for structure to cost about $12,000 J.M. Wright & Son have been awarded the contract for the erection of a new school building for District No. 3, five miles from Myrtle Point. The structure will be practically a duplicate of the Empire building. It will be one-story, four rooms, and modern in every detail. The structure will be rushed to completion and the total cost will be about $12,000. W.G. Chandler is the architect.

Church to call a new pastor Swedish Lutheran congregation to meet Rev. A.G. Anderson, present pastor, is to leave soon for Mt. Vernon, Wash., where he will live Tomorrow night a special session will be held by the local Swedish Lutheran church to call a pastor to succeed Rev. A.G. Anderson. The call will be extended jointly by the church in Marshfield and the Evangelical Lutheran church in North Bend and a meeting will be held in North Bend Monday evening of next week also for the purpose of extending the call. Two months ago a call was extended to Rev. Herman Larson of Kearney, Neb., who declined as he expects to go to China as a missionary. No candidate has been nominated but many are in favor of calling Rev. J.A. Edlund of Axtell, Nev., who is known to the congregation and familiar with church work on the coast.

Coos Bay men are killed at Camp Lewis Edwin G. Scott and Clyde R. Dindinger of National Guard victims of gun explosion Three other local men slightly injured Editor’s Note: This related story ran adjacent to the above story:

Tragedy causes grief in city Sudden death causes many friends to sorrow Elks flag is at half mast — assistance is offered from various sources today The receipt of the news of the sudden death of Edwin Scott and Clyde Dindinger caused much grief about the city as both men had many friends here. Flag at half mast The Marshfield Lodge of Elks this morning had their flag at half mast in

left the Gardiner Post Office and walked a mile and a half to the final destination by Friday morning. He arrived at a spot on Stables Road that is believed to be where on July 14, 1828, the massacre of 15 of Smith’s men happened. LePage surveyed the landscape for a few moments before he knelt on one knee in silent prayer for the men killed in the area and to give thanks for a successful journey. “I made it,” he said.

Heceta Head tribute to the departed. W.A. Reid urges that all flags be flown at half mast until after the funerals of the victims.

50 YEARS — 1970 Baseball clown Max Patkin to make appearance here Thursday Famed baseball clown Max Patkin has performed nearly everywhere, including innumerable television variety programs and, naturally, almost every baseball park in the country, during 25 years in his unique profession. So, it is perhaps only natural that he put in an appearance at one of the few ballparks he has missed in all those years during his current swing along the Pacific Coast—North Bend Municipal Ballpark. Patkin will unload his comic routines Thursday night at Municipal as the featured performer at American Legion Night festivities. He will perform on the field between the Coos Bay-Milwaukie legion game and the Athletics’ game with Lewiston — and on the sidelines during the A’s-Broncs contest.

Firefighters contain huge Rogue blaze One man killed, another injured as fire covers 2,800 acres; control expected sometime today A firefighter was killed and a companion injured by a falling tree Wednesday night while fighting a forest fire which has charred 2,800 acres in southwestern Oregon. The victim, Luis Rodriguez, a farm workerfrom a labor camp at Nyssa, was hurled 50 feet by the impact of the falling tree. Bernardo Garcia, also of Nyssa, was hospitalized at Grants Pass with a leg injury. A state Forestry spokesman said the two were with a group attempting to contain the Quail Creek fire when the tree toppled. The other man managed to scramble to safety.

Acey-Deucey hole gets fourth in Cup REEDSPORT — Jim Schafer fired a seven iron 165 yards from the tee into the cup on No. 2 at Forest Hills Golf and Country Club here Tuesday afternoon. This was the fourth hole-in-one on No. 2 in the past two months, according to Duane Bergstrom, club pro. Because of the frequency with which the hole has been aced in the last 60 days, “we wonder if the center of the green is dropping away to form a funnel,” questioned Bergstrom. He added that maybe “someone would try to ace No. 6 the next time” since only one hole-in-one has been registered there since the course was established. Schaefer’s feat was witnessed by Steve Thiess, said Bergstrom. None of the holesin-one came during tournament play, although Bergstrom said he believes one was made in a qualifying round.

Power outage ties up Coos traffic Vehicles backed up for over one mile after Charleston Bridge locks in place while open Traffic backed up for over a mile early today on the Cape Arago Highway when the Charleston drawbridge was locked open by a power failure caused by a combination of dust, salt air and heavy fog. A man reportedly was injured when the same combination resulted in a trailer fire on Cameron Road. The drawbridge over South Slough was open when the wire failure occurred along the Charleston highway, shutting off power from below Coos Bay city limits to Charleston, Cape Arago and Seven Devils Road. Dust and dirt collected on the insulation during the recent dry, hot weather, according to Jack Dunham, Pacific Power and Light Co. district manager. Salt air and the extremely heavy fog conditions during the night caused an insulation flash-over, Durham explained. The outage came at about 6 a.m. with flashes at Pigeon Point and Spaw Boulevard, he said, but service was restored in most areas before 8 a.m.

20 YEARS — 2000 72 years later, Smith journey complete Dressed as the explorer Jedediah Smith, Al LePage completed his journey up the Southern Oregon Coast the same way it began — with one step. With only a reporter, two photographers and a Smith historiean watching, LePage

That blinking Light! Curtained for repairs: An emergency lantern shines in place of the 106-yearold lens By John Gunther Sports Editor FLORENCE — At the top of the Heceta Head lighthouse, visitors are seeing a drawn canvas curtain where they normally would see the spectacular Fresnel lens. Pilots on boats out in the ocean see the flash of light from a 250-mm emergency lantern mounted outside the lighthouse instead of the flashing from the lens. To the hundreds of daily visitors to the lighthouse and the U.S. Coast Guard, which maintains the light, it’s an unfortunate situation with no clear resolution. The 2,000-pound lens and rotating assembly were shut off last month after workers discovered the assembly is slightly tilted because of rust in its base, Coast Guard officials said. Continued operation of the system could have led to damage to the 106-year-old lens, which is extremely expensive to repair. The Coast Guard is looking at possible options to fix the lens assembly so the light can again shine at Heceta Head. “The lens is in the antique status,” said Lt. j.g. Russ Torgergson, public spokesman for Coast Guard Group North Bend. It’s very expensive and a beautiful piece of work. That’s why it was shut down.” These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.
