Celebrating Pride Month during a pandemic JILLIAN WARD The World

SOUTH COAST — Last year, Pride Month was celebrated over an entire weekend. This past June, the new coronavirus pandemic drastically changed how Pride Month was celebrated. Even though there couldn’t be an event, Southern Oregon Coast Pride activist Jamar Ruff said that “We wanted to keep the momentum going.” “It threw us off not having Pride Day, but how do we keep engaging?” he asked, looking back on the dilemma. Youth from Q&A of Coos County, a grassroots organization that creates a safe place for LGBTQIA+ youth and their allies, nominated advocates to showcase every two days in the community. The last person would be recognized as a trailblazer. “It shows a collective of so many different people attached to so many different organizations and shows Coos County is supporting its local LGBTQIA+,” Ruff said. “We had a Facebook page where we hosted it and an Instagram. Pride was celebrated on social media.” Pride Month In an email to The World, Ruff spoke about Pride Month’s history. It begins on June 1 to commemorate the Stonewall Riots, which took place at the end of June in 1969. Those riots fought for equal rights for the LGBTQIA+ community. “As a result, many Pride events are held during (June) to recognize the impact LGBTQIA+ people have had in the world,” Ruff wrote. The allies showcased last Please see Pride, Page A8

Charleston Ice Plant project nears completion The World COOS BAY — The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay is in the final weeks of construction of the Charleston Ice Plant rebuild project, which is scheduled to reopen in August. Work on the project began in December of 2019 following a catastrophic fire which destroyed the former plant. Port staff, in conjunction with contracted engineers, architects and construction firms have worked as expeditiously as possible to restore access to commercial grade flake ice for the commercial and recreational fishing fleets in Charleston, according to a press release from the Port. “Successfully completing this

work in the timeframe we have is truly a testament to the Port’s commitment to the Port District and the fishing community of Charleston,” said Port CEO John Burns, adding, “Access to ice is critical for a number of West Coast fisheries to keep their catch fresh until it reaches market.” Installation of the vapor barrier, which wraps the exterior of the building, was completed Monday, July 20. This week, following installation of the barrier, sleepers will be affixed to the exterior of the facility to provide a surface to attach the exterior siding, stated the release. Work that remains on the exterior of the facility includes installation of the siding and roofing as well as attaching the external stair-

well. On the interior building, welders will be connecting the various ice making equipment components with custom piping. Additional electrical work and plumbing will also take place on the interior of the facility. The new plant will increase ice making and storage capacity to ensure adequate access for resident and traveling fishing fleets. Storage capacity will increase from 115 to 158 tons, and production from 2 to 5 tons per hour. The added production will improve service delivery time in the high seasons, increasing availability and reducing potential delays due to high demand versus production ratio. In addition, the new ice-mak-

The Coos County Noxious Weed Board presents:

Weed of the Month

Tree (Pine) Echium

Echium pininana WARNING: Hairs on stems can cause ID Tips: - Purple to blue 5-petal flower blistering when touched. - Can grow up to 15' in height - Biennial (rosette in 1st yr, flowers 2nd yr, then dies back) - Bloom time: May - August

Tree echium thrives in well drained soils. It's dense 2' - 3' wide rosettes will shade out native plants in your yard and create a monoculture; eventually displacing any smaller plants you have planted. It is a self-seeding plant, meaning its seed will germinate just weeks after being shed - so you can imagine how quickly it will dominate your yard!

Foundation awards Coos County nonprofits The World CANYONVILLE — The Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation has awarded three nonprofits in Coos County a total of $15,000. Fifty-nine charities in southwestern Oregon from Coos, Deschutes, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, and Lane Counties were awarded a total of $329,300 in the most recent round of the Foundation’s semi-annual giving. For the first time since the Foundation’s founding, there was no grant

awards ceremony and checks were mailed to all recipients. The decision to not hold the traditional awards ceremony was made so COVID-19 safety concerns could be observed. The CCUIF was founded in 1997 and began is philanthropic efforts in 1998. To date, the Foundation has awarded $19,309,324 to the seven counties from which it accepts grant requests. Grants are awarded in January and June. In January of 2020, the CCUIF awarded $474,650 to 70 nonprofits.

The three Coos County grant recipients are: Southwestern Oregon Veterans Outreach was awarded $5,000 to assist with costs of providing case management and support to Veterans. The Nancy Devereux Center was awarded $5,000 to help purchase and install a range hood and ventilation system for the kitchen which feeds the hungry in Coos County. The SAFE Project was awarded $5,000 to provide support for those overcoming the effects of physical, emotional, and/ or sexual trauma.

The mission of the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation is to offer assistance in youth education, strengthen youth and family, provide for positive youth development, and add to the quality of life for people in southwestern Oregon. The Foundation, additionally, has put increasing emphasis upon basic needs so more hungry people get fed. Cow Creek Indian Foundation awards are made separately from and in addition to regular philanthropic decisions made by the Cow Creek Tribal Board.

OHA funds groups to support contract tracing The World OREGON — On July 23, The Oregon Health Authority announced the launch of a new program to fund work by Community Based Organizations to help respond to COVID-19 in culturally and linguistically responsive ways in communities across the state. OHA will provide 173 CBOs with $9.4 million in CARES Act funds. The CBOs are contracted to help with three specific areas, though not all organizations were contracted to carry out work in all areas. Outreach and community engagement; Contact tracing together with local public health authorities; and Providing people with social services/wraparound supports. The organizations are in every county in the state, with deep ties to the communities they serve. Grants range from $9,500 to $352,200 for the first three months of funding (July 1-Sept. 30, 2020) and depend on the type and

scope of work the organization has agreed to carry out. Additional CBOs may be funded as applications come in to OHA. OHA recognizes the impact longstanding health inequities, rooted in systemic racism and oppression, are having on COVID-19 infections in Oregon, stated a press release from OHA. CBOs are key to preventing and mitigating COVID-19 in communities that are most impacted. With COVID-19 disproportionately affecting communities of color, including high infection rates among Latinx, Black and Pacific Islanders, among others, the

need for this program was substantial. “Today, we’re taking a step forward in addressing the inequities COVID-19 has laid bare,” said Patrick Allen, OHA director. “These CBOs are trusted messengers in their communities who have been trying to provide support with existing resources. This partnership with OHA and local public health authorities will give CBOs the resources they need to increase their outreach and add much-needed capacity for an equitable statewide response.” A full list of the CBOs and additional information

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR All residents should be counted Census takers are making the rounds to ensure all people living in Oregon are counted. This count affects how many state and federal representatives we will have and how much money each town/city, county, and state receives. Residents are not required to answer questions regarding their citizenship. All residents of Oregon should be counted. Ann King Bandon

Where’s the pool money? My wife and I moved to Bandon in 2010, we never had much money and we have always rented for 51 years. We do not swim, but we did give between $1,000 to $1,500 to the swimming pool that Bandon was supposed to build. To this day where is the swimming pool? I e-mailed the city of Bandon, did not get any response. What happened to all the money? Guilford Bass Bandon (Editor’s note: The city of Bandon has nothing to do with the Bandon Community Swimming Pool Corporation, the group raising money for a swimming pool.)

An ounce of protection Seems like very few are protecting others by wearing a mask. At McKay’s in Coquille several people were in the store shopping without a mask even though the sign on the door says masks are required. And I went to Lakeside on Friday and nobody was wearing a mask in the some of the stores in Coos Bay. I wear one because I want to protect others and myself from this horrible virus. Seems people could be more understanding when it comes to an ounce of protection. This is a widespread virus that kills, so what the heck is wrong with people these days. Bob Akins Coquille

Reiterating point on beavers Mr. Erickson, evidently you did not read the last sentence of my Letter to the Editor. I will state it one more time for you: The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s own biologists (these are the biologists that have been hired and work for ODF&W), DO NOT support a ban on the trapping of beaver. Take it up with them. Thank you and good night. Jeff Ramey Coquille

Supports congressional term limits A government by representatives elected by the people at short periods was our object and our maxim …, “where annual election ends, tyranny begins” Thomas Jefferson to S. Adams, 1800. Congressional term limits have been an ongoing conversation among Americans since the framers of our Constitution began their work. There have been several term limits bills placed before our federal legislators, but none have resulted in a constitutional amendment to halt the rising number of career politicians who sit in Congress. This is not a “partisan” issue. This is an American problem, and it is up to WE, THE PEOPLE, to act. What is interesting to me is that, when surveyed, over 80% of Americans are in favor of congressional term limits. What is also interesting is how many times incumbents who have been in office for upward of 30 years are voted back into office. Why is that? Here are some possible reasons: • Many Americans believe that Congress will never vote for term limits on itself. However, in 1995, the House passed a constitutional amendment limiting themselves and senator’s terms as well. It didn’t pass, because any constitutional amendment

requires a two-thirds supermajority vote. • Some folks, (especially incumbents and special interest groups) will say that an election is a natural term limit. Unfortunately, when it comes to campaigning, the incumbent has an edge on the challenger, in that there is plenty of financing for his campaign from special interest groups. The challenger is faced with paying their own campaign costs, sometimes through donations or fundraising at a grass-roots level. • We need experienced legislators in Washington. While this is true, and has been long-held standard by many Americans, it is also true that new ideas breathe life into a stale organization. I am a proponent of congressional term limits, because I see our Congress forgetting who they REALLY work for: Us, the American people. With the election coming up in November of this year, please remember that this is not just a presidential election. There are many congressional seats being considered, as well. Do your homework. Check to see how long these people have been in office. Are you happy with their representation? Email your senators and representatives in Washington DC. If we don’t speak up, who will? Gayle Davis Redmond

COVID hypocrisy Two hundred eighty five corona-related deaths in Oregon so far. Four million Oregon residents. Look up how many vehicle deaths there were last year: 489. With all of the safety enhancements, laws for seatbelts, companies and government trying to limit the number of fatal car crashes. Both have become highly regulated, COVID, of course, with extreme restrictions. It is easy to say that without these restrictions, everyone would assume more vehicle deaths would occur and more COVID deaths would occur. A fairly even playing field. Fairly even stats. So why do people fight so fiercely about COVID and not cars, or whatever comparison you wish to use? People could get rid of their cars because they risk killing other people. Innocent people. It happens every single day of the week. Every time you get into a car, no matter how good of a driver you are, you could kill yourself, your children or strangers on the road from simply a flat tire while driving on the highway. Out of the driver’s control but still deadly. You can get upset at someone for not wearing a mask if you choose to, but you also need to realize how many times in a day you put the lives of people around you at risk in every other way. Just because corona has become political, does not mean that you should stand there and belittle someone for not wearing a mask while you can easily kill someone with your car in five minutes. That is the definition of a hypocrite: Accusing others for not caring about risking people’s lives while you turn around and do it multiple times a day. “Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.” Perry Holman Coos Bay

Protect what’s important What happens when one’s opinion becomes so intertwined with one’s sense of self-worth and entitlement that any challenge to their driven need to be right becomes perceived as a personal threat? Anger? Rage? Violence? Several months ago, I made a right-hand turn onto the near lane of U.S. Highway 101 South. As I made the turn, an oncoming truck abruptly changed lanes mid-intersection into my lane, nearly colliding. It swerved, accelerating back to its original far lane, then slowed to become nearly parallel with me. Although

Smaller big cities can be better cities It was a bittersweet evening in Manhattan. Parisian-level charm had descended on what used to be traffic-snarled streets of the fancy Upper East Side. Planters holding dramatic greenery set off outdoor dining areas spilling into former parking spaces. Waiters happily greeted the sort of stylish patron no one had seen for a while. Sadly, though, the surrounding streets ached at the sight of so many blank storefronts. Some had signs promising to be back. The heartbreakers posted notices saying “Goodbye, and thank you for our 30 years in business.” Even the restaurants with full tables were hurting because they still aren’t allowed to serve indoors. Many of these establishments also thrived on tourists, of which New York had 65 million in 2018. With museums and theaters still closed, tourists are few. Where does a city dependent on culture and old-fashioned commerce go from here? New York will come back. It rose from the ashes of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center -- and there’s no vaccine against terrorism. But as this urban economy slowly awakens from its virus-induced coma, many are wondering whether a revived version can also be an easier place to live. By easier, they mean smaller and less congested, less expensive and less geared toward the comfort of the 0.0001 percent. Most eyes are dry at the fact that zillion-dollar apartments in the ugly new supertalls are empty for lack of plutocrats to live

FROMA HARROP in them 10 percent of the time. These buildings typically replaced five-story walk-ups that were home to working people. In New York, as in other hot cities, real estate barons had been given license to stomp on the locals’ quality of life. Before the pandemic, for example, the commercial area around Grand Central Terminal had gotten so crowded that pedestrians were pushed off the sidewalks at rush hour. The mayor had the bright idea of removing all seats in a subway line serving Grand Central so they could stuff more people in the cars. The city in its wisdom then rezoned the neighborhood to allow bigger office towers housing 28,000 more workers. If waves of office workers can now work from home, who is going to fill these new cubicles? Let the developers figure that out. And who is going to live in the apartments of those who leave town? New Yorkers who will benefit from falling rents and lower asking prices. Rents are reportedly coming down in nearly all the super-expensive cities, including San

Francisco, Boston and San Jose. In New York, the sharpest drops have been at the luxury end of the market, the result being better deals for what’s left of the middle class. A millennial friend, a son of the Bronx, expressed quiet satisfaction that many of the hipsters who had piled into his Brooklyn neighborhood for “the scene” had left town for good. In John’s view, they weren’t tough enough to do an apartment lockdown with no escape to bars and clubs. They weren’t real New Yorkers feeling bound to community but seekers of entertainment. Now, one can understand young families yearning for cheaper housing with a private backyard. This big country has become even bigger for those who can work from anywhere. And life can be sweet in our smaller towns and cities. Shrinking superstar cities could pose a problem for the federal tax coffers. Ten American cities account for a third of the nation’s economic output. The New York metropolitan area alone generates more economic activity than does Australia. Back on the street level, landlords can fill their empty storefronts the old supply-and-demand way: by lowering the rent. In doing so, they can also welcome back the smaller retailers who were previously priced out. In sum, the pandemic can help big cities return to their more livable former selves. If becoming smaller also makes them more affordable and less stressful, where is the problem?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR cont. I made a legal turn and he had illegally changed lanes, his rage was obvious. He continued with a familiar gesture as he leaned across the passenger screaming. The other young man in the truck glared at me. I thought about pulling over to explain that I had made a legal turn but then I realized, I was afraid. So, I turned at the end of the block and doubled back to the Coos Bay Police Department and parked. If I had tried to talk with the driver, would a gun have been pulled on me? I wish I could say no. In my family, you could only handle a firearm after you passed Oregon’s Hunter Safety Course. As a sixth-grade

teacher, my classroom celebrated students who completed that same course. Decades later during my concealed carry coursework I learned that moving toward a home invader could mean you were not in imminent danger, legally. I was instructed to advance toward the danger only take a stand between the immediate threat and family members. In a recent photo of two St. Louis attorneys, the woman was holding a handgun aloft like it was a lit cigarette, a clear danger to herself and others. She had no idea how to properly handle a firearm and to call the automatic weapon her hus-

band was yielding a rifle, was misleading. My .32 Winchester Special is a rifle. He held an assault weapon. The barefoot McCloskeys had obviously left the safety of their home to protect what? Compare that to the video of Chris David, a Navy veteran who was brutally beaten then drenched in pepper spray in our Portland for attempting to simply, as he stated “… have a civil discussion” with federal agents. He stood unmoving as his bones were broken. It’s time to stand, like Chris David, and protect what’s important, our Constitution. Sue Powrie Myrtle Point

PARIS (AP) — Olivia de Havilland, the doe-eyed actress beloved to millions as the sainted Melanie Wilkes of “Gone With the Wind,” but also a two-time Oscar winner and an off-screen fighter who challenged and unchained Hollywood’s contract system, died Sunday at her home in Paris. She was 104. Havilland, the sister of fellow Oscar winner Joan Fontaine, died peacefully of natural causes, said New York-based publicist Lisa Goldberg. De Havilland was among the last of the top screen performers from the studio era, and the last surviving lead from “Gone With the Wind,” an irony, she once noted, since the fragile, self-sacrificing Wilkes was the only major character to die in the film. The 1939 epic, based on Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling Civil War novel and winner of 10 Academy Awards, is often ranked as Hollywood’s box office champion (adjusting for inflation), although it is now widely condemned for its glorified portrait of slavery and antebellum life. The pinnacle of producer David O. Selznick’s career, the movie had a troubled off-screen story. Three directors worked on the film, stars Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable were far more connected on screen than off and the fourth featured performer, Leslie Howard, was openly indifferent to the role of Ashley Wilkes, Melanie’s husband. But de Havilland remembered the movie as “one of the happiest experiences I’ve ever had in my life. It was doing something I wanted to do, playing a character I loved and liked.” During a career that spanned six decades, de Havilland also took on roles ranging from an unwed

mother to a psychiatric inmate in “The Snake Pit,” a personal favorite. The dark-haired De Havilland projected both a gentle, glowing warmth and a sense of resilience and mischief that made her uncommonly appealing, leading critic James Agee to confess he was “vulnerable to Olivia de Havilland in every part of my being except the ulnar nerve.” She was Errol Flynn’s co-star in a series of dramas, Westerns and period pieces, most memorably as Maid Marian in “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” But De Havilland also was a prototype for an actress too beautiful for her own good, typecast in sweet and romantic roles while desiring greater challenges. Her frustration finally led her to sue Warner Bros. in 1943 when the studio tried to keep her under contract after it had expired, claiming she owed six more months because she had been suspended for refusing roles. Her friend Bette Davis was among those who had failed to get out of her contract under similar conditions in the 1930s, but de Havilland prevailed, with the California Court of Appeals ruling that no studio could extend an agreement without the performer’s consent. The decision is still unofficially called the “De Havilland law.” De Havilland went on to earn her own Academy Award in 1946 for her performance in “To Each His Own,” a melodrama about out-of-wedlock birth. A second Oscar came three years later for “The Heiress,” in which she portrayed a plain young homebody (as plain as it was possible to make de Havilland) opposite Montgomery Clift and Sir Ralph Richardson in an

adaptation of Henry James’ “Washington Square.” In 2008, de Havilland received a National Medal of Arts and was awarded France’s Legion of Honor two years later. She was also famous as the sister of Fontaine, with whom she had a troubled relationship. In a rare 2016 interview with The Associated Press, de Havilland referred to her late sister as a “dragon lady” and said her memories of Fontaine, who died in 2013, were “multi-faceted, varying from endearing to alienating.” “On my part, it was always loving, but sometimes estranged and, in the later years, severed,” she said. “Dragon Lady, as I eventually decided to call her, was a brilliant, multi-talented person, but with an astigmatism in her perception of people and events, which often caused her to react in an unfair and even injurious way.” De Havilland once observed that Melanie Wilkes’ happiness was sustained by a loving, secure family, a blessing that eluded the actress even in childhood. She was born in Tokyo on July 1, 1916, the daughter of a British patent attorney. Her parents separated when she was 3, and her mother brought her and her younger sister Joan to Saratoga, California. De Havilland’s own two marriages, to Marcus Goodrich and Pierre Galante, ended in divorce. She had lived in Paris since 1953. In her interview with the AP at her luxurious Paris residence in 2016, as she celebrated her 100th birthday, she said she moved to the City of Light “at the insistence” of Galante, her late French former husband, and found no reason to return to the U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) — Regis Philbin, the genial host who shared his life with television viewers over morning coffee for decades and helped himself and some fans strike it rich with the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” has died at 88. Philbin died of natural causes Friday night, just over a month before his 89th birthday, according to a statement from his family provided by spokesman Lewis Kay. Celebrities routinely stopped by Philbin’s eponymous syndicated morning show, but its heart was in the first 15 minutes, when he and co-host Kathie Lee Gifford — on “Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee” from 1985-2000 — or Kelly Ripa — on “Live! with Regis and Kelly” from 2001 until his 2011 retirement — bantered about the events of the day. Viewers laughed at Philbin’s mock indignation over not getting the best seat at a restaurant the night before, or being henpecked by his partner. “Even I have a little trepidation,” he told The Associated Press in 2008, when asked how he does a show every day. “You wake up in the morning and you say, ‘What did I do last night that I can talk about? What’s new in the paper? How are we gonna fill that 20 minutes?’” “I’m not gonna say it always works out brilliantly, but somehow we connect more often than we don’t,” he added. “One of the greats in the history of television, Regis Philbin has passed on to even greater airwaves,” President Donald Trump said in a tweet. “He was a fantastic person, and my friend.” Ripa and her current partner, Ryan Seacrest, called Philbin “the ultimate class act, bringing his laughter and joy into our homes every day.” “There are no words to fully express the love I have for my precious friend, Regis,” Gifford said Saturday on Instagram. “I simply adored him and every day with him was a

gift.” The tributes flooding in over social media read like blurbs for a movie Philbin would promote: “Always made me laugh” — Tony Bennett. “One of a kind” — Henry Winkler. “A lovely man” — Rosie O’Donnell. “His wit was only surpassed by his huge heart” — Meredith Vieira. “As wonderful a man as he was talented” — Paul Reubens, also known as Pee-Wee Herman. “You were the best” — LeVar Burton. After hustling into an entertainment career by parking cars at a Los Angeles TV station, Philbin logged more than 15,000 hours on the air, earning him recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most broadcast hours logged by a TV personality, a record previously held by Hugh Downs. “Every day, you see the record shattered, pal!” Philbin would tell viewers. “One more hour!” He was host of the prime-time game show, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” briefly television’s most popular show at the turn of the century. ABC aired the family-friendly program as often as five times a week. It generated around $1 billion in revenue in its first two years — ABC had said it was the more profitable show in TV history — and helped make Philbin himself a millionaire many times over. Philbin’s question to contestants, “Is that your final answer?” became a national catchphrase. Philbin was even a fashion trendsetter; he put out a line of monochramactic shirts and ties to match what he wore on the set. “You wait a lifetime for something like that and sometimes it never happens,” Philbin told the AP in 1999. In 2008, he returned briefly to the quiz show format with “Million Dollar Password.” He also picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award from the daytime Emmys. He was the type of TV personality easy to make

fun of, and easy to love. When his son Danny first met his future wife, “we were talking about our families,” Danny told USA Today. “I said, ‘You know that show Regis and Kathie Lee?’ And she said, ‘I hate that show.’ And I said, ‘That’s my dad.’” Yet Philbin was a favorite of a younger generation’s ironic icon, David Letterman. When Letterman announced that he had to undergo heart surgery, it was on the air to Philbin, who was also there for Letterman’s first day back after his recovery. Letterman returned the favor, appearing on Philbin’s show when he went back on the air in April 2007 after undergoing heart bypass surgery. “In the same category as (Johnny) Carson. Superlative,” Letterman said. “He was on our show a million times, always the best guest we ever had, charming, lovable and could take a punch. When he retired I lost interest in television. I love him.” In the 2008 AP interview, Philbin said he saw “getting the best out of your guests” as “a specialty. ... The time constraints mean you’ve got to get right to the point, you’ve got to make it pay off, go to commercial, start again. Play that clip. Say goodbye.” He gave his desktop a decisive rap. “And make it all conversational.” Regis Francis Xavier Philbin grew up in the New York borough of the Bronx, the son of Italian-Irish parents and named for the Roman Catholic boys high school his dad attended. He went to Notre Dame University, and was such an enthusiastic alum, he once said he wanted his ashes scattered there. After leaving the Navy in 1955, Philbin talked his way into a meeting with the stationmaster at KCOP-TV in Los Angeles. He got a job parking cars, then progressed into work as a stagehand, courier, newswriter and producer of a sports telecast. When its sportscaster didn’t show up one day, Philbin filled in.

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren Older, wiser woman wants to apologize for past sins

DEAR ABBY: Is it ever too late to apologize to an ex-boyfriend? I’m in my mid-40s now, and over the last three years, I have gone through a significant change. It has helped me to face myself, let go of useless hate and anger and forgive the people who hurt me. It has made me a much happier person. One of the results of this change is realizing how much I dislike who I was when I was younger. I’m sure many people made mistakes in their early 20s and maybe blew it off, because I know I did. But now I can’t. I’m ashamed of my previous behavior and have been thinking about reaching out to him to apologize for the horrible things I did while we were together. My family says I shouldn’t do it. They say I’m being ridiculous because “who cares about how an old partner treated you decades ago?” But I’m struggling with letting it go. I learned years ago to take responsibility for my mistakes, but it’s something I didn’t do in that relationship. I’m currently in a solid and happy relationship, which is why I think my family may be so against this, and while I don’t know my ex’s relationship status, I have no ulterior motives for reaching out. The person I am today just wants very much to apologize for the person I used to be, but I don’t want to cause any problems. What is your neutral advice? -- SORRY IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR SORRY IN THE SOUTHWEST: I don’t think it is ever too late to say “I’m sorry,” and I seriously doubt that an overdue apology for your past behavior would cause problems. Because you feel compelled to offer one, go ahead and do it. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that your former flame recovered from whatever you did and went on with his life as you have with yours. And if that’s not the case, he may need to receive your apology as much as you need to give it. DEAR ABBY: My family and I moved to Las Vegas seven months ago, and we love it here. We are not heavy

gamblers, but we occasionally like to hit a local casino (once, maybe twice, a month) and never spend more than $50. We consider it paying for entertainment rather than a chance at winning it big. My parents are coming to visit soon and, unfortunately, they have had a history of compulsive gambling. They admit they have a problem and have been going to support groups off and on for the past year. We have lots of off-strip fun planned, but I know they will want to visit a casino because, well, it’s Vegas! Would I be enabling them if I went with them to a casino? Could this trigger more compulsive gambling when they return home? Are there any boundaries I should set? I don’t want to see them spiral into their addiction again, but I also want us all to enjoy the “What happens in Vegas ...” vacation mentality during their visit. -- GAMBLING WITH THEIR ADDICTION DEAR GAMBLING: The “what happens in Vegas (stays in Vegas)” mentality means that what happened in Vegas was not something to be proud of. It would absolutely challenge your parents’ “sobriety” if you take them to a casino, and your fear that it could jump-start a relapse is well-founded. Keep them busy, but don’t take them to places where they are tempted to gamble. If they decide to do it on their own, you won’t have anything to feel guilty about. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

The World

Food preservation hotline opens for the season CORVALLIS — As the Oregon State University Extension Service Master Food Preserver program turns 40, its hotline is once again ready to take calls. The toll-free hotline at 800-354-7319 runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. When the hotline is closed, callers can leave a message. The hotline is staffed by certified Master Food Preserver volunteers and is available statewide. Calls to the hotline are expected to boom during the pandemic as people discover the satisfaction of growing and preserving their own food. Already this year, food preservation questions to OSU Extension’s Ask an Expert online service have more than doubled compared to the first half of 2019. June alone saw a fourfold jump in queries, according to Teresa Crowley, who staffs the Master Food Preserver program. Started 40 years ago in Lane County, the program has grown to include 324 Master Food Preservers, who must complete an eightweek course to be certified and start volunteer shifts on the hotline. In 1980, Nellie Oehler,

a co-coordinator and one of the founders of the program, recognized the need to provide food safety and preservation information for people putting up food, a practice that soared during the back-to-the-earth movement that started in the 1960s and ran through much of the 1980s. As the program got started and volunteers stepped up for training, the idea of a hotline emerged and one was started in 1990. “We were getting a lot of calls at the local Extension offices,” Oehler said. “The Extension Service has always been known for research-based food preservation information. We were getting calls from all over.” So, the hotline was born. At first, calls were only taken in the 541-area code, but as demand grew, the program switched to an 800 number to service all of Oregon. Many people were working from iffy online sources or old family recipes, which were outdated or had safety issues. “Old methods were popping up that weren’t safe,” Oehler said. “Our No. 1 goal was to prevent foodborne illnesses.” At least 60% of questions have food safety implications, she said. Some could have serious consequences.

NEWPORT — ODFW is hosting virtual meetings July 28 and 29 to gather public input on the 2021 sport bottomfish and halibut season and the 2021 directed commercial halibut fishery. At the sport bottomfish and halibut meeting, staff will collect comments on the 2021 sport halibut season and begin discussing the 2021 sport bottomfishing seasons. No major changes to the sport bottomfish season are proposed, however ODFW would like anglers’

input on adjustments to this fishery. For Pacific halibut, the International Pacific Halibut Commission approved in 2019 a 1.5 million-pound catch limit for Area 2A through 2022. This is the second year fishery managers are reasonably certain of the quota going into this public meeting which should help guide discussions for the 2021 season. “It’s important we hear from a wide range of anglers before making decisions on the upcoming seasons,”

OSU food preservation hotline. “That’s why I think it’s important to have the hotline,” Oehler said. “We do save lives.” And now, customers at a Pacific Northwest retailer have another option for learning about food preservation. In partnership with OSU Extension, Bi-Mart has placed signage and information in food preservation aisles in the employee-owned chain’s 80 stores in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The Extension-designed posters and brochures

provide tips on canning, freezing, smoking, pickling, drying, jerky and jams and jellies. They come complete with a QR code that, when scanned with a smartphone, takes you to OSU Extension’s Home Food Safety and Preservation website with additional information. “Gardening, my goodness, gardening is crazy,” said Don Leber, vice president of advertising and marketing for Bi-Mart. “All these people are thinking ‘What will we do with all this food?’ We’re thinking of a lot of

the newbies who may not know how to start. And now with OSU’s help, we’ve got the information. It’s a match made in heaven.” Most commonly, hotline callers ask about preserving salsa, tomatoes and tuna. OSU Extension offers publications on each: Salsa Recipes for Canning, Canning Seafood, Canning Tomatoes and Tomato Products and Safely Canning Foods: Pressure Canners, Pressure Cookers and Electric Pressure Cookers. Search the Extension cata-

log for “Food Preservation” and you’ll find more publications, including some in Spanish. Extension’s Ask an Expert, an online question-and-answer service, is another way to get information. Post a question and an expert will get back to you within 48 hours. They can offer information about anything related to food preservation from safety concerns to recipes. There’s a free app – Canning Timer & Checklist – that provides reminders of essential steps in the canning process. Also, check out the new Facebook page and Instagram page. Additionally, many Extension offices offer free pressure gauge testing. The hotline volunteers can provide you with information specific to your county.

said Lynn Mattes, ODFW Recreational Halibut and Bottomfish Project Leader. At the directed commercial halibut meeting, fishery managers will discuss progress on the transition of management from the International Pacific Halibut Commission to the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) and the National Marine Fisheries Service. Managers will also ask for input on the 2021 season timing and length, and trip limits for the season. While staff typically host

in-person meetings in several coastal locations, due to the Governor’s Stay Home, Save Lives order, both meetings will be held online and by teleconference this year. Input can also be emailed or phoned in to: Lynn Mattes, ODFW Recreational Bottomfish and Halibut Project Leader, 541-867-4741 x237, lynn. mattes@state.or.us or Christian Heath, Groundfish and Halibut Assistant Project Leader, 541-867-4741 x266, christian.t.heath@state.or.us

The World

On Portland’s streets: Anger, fear and a fence that divides PORTLAND (AP) — The party at the Salmon Street Springs fountain, a riverfront landmark in the heart of Portland, was just getting started. Dozens of drummers beat out entrancing rhythms and a crowd of hundreds danced joyfully and wildly. Poster boards bore the names of dozens of Black men and women killed by police, and 10-year-old Xavier Minor jumped into the center of the circle and started dancing with abandon. The emcee took note. “Yo, Black kids are the future! Black kids are the future!” he shouted. A few minutes later, as night fell, the music stopped — and the march to the federal courthouse began. Two blocks away, the several dozen federal law enforcement agents guarding the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse could hear the crowd of protesters — about 4,000 people

at its peak. “It’s scary. You open those doors out, when the crowd is shaking the fence, and ... on the other side of that fence are people that want to kill you because of the job we chose to do and what we represent,” said a Deputy U.S. Marshal who has been protecting the courthouse for weeks. He requested anonymity because protesters identified him previously and posted personal information about him online. “I am worried for my life, every time I walk outside of the building,” he said. This weekend, journalists for the Associated Press were both outside, with the protesters, and inside the courthouse, with the federal agents, documenting the chaotic fight that has become an unlikely centerpiece of the protest movement gripping America. It started with dancing

but quickly turned violent. Small pods of three to four protesters dressed in black circulated in the crowd, stopping every few minutes to point green laser beams in the eyes of agents posted as lookouts on porticoes on the courthouse’s upper stories. The agents above were silhouetted against the dark sky as dozens of green dots from the lasers and a large spotlight played on the courthouse walls, projected from somewhere in the back of the crowd. Someone in the crowd fired a commercial-grade firework inside the fence. Next came a flare and then protesters began using an angle grinder to eat away at the fence. A barrage of items came whizzing into the courthouse: rocks, cans of beans, water bottles, potatoes and rubber bouncy balls that cause the agents to slip and fall. Federal agents at the fence perimeter fired the first tear gas of the night.

Inside the courthouse, agents on scaffolding fired pepper balls through the window slits at the crowd while others sat quietly on marble benches in the lobby, alone or in small groups, and waited for their turn at the fence. The Federal Protective Service and U.S. Marshals Service agents, dozens of whom live in the Portland area themselves, were tired and frustrated. They didn’t want to confront the crowd; they just wanted to go home. Many were sent in from out of town to reinforce the agents some are members of an elite Border Patrol tactical team sent in as reinforcements. But others were already stationed there and said they had chosen to live in the Portland area and call it home. “My friends have been hit in the head with hammers. I know people who have been shot with fireworks. It’s disgusting,” said the Deputy U.S.

Marshal who’s been at the courthouse for weeks. “I’ve never thought I’d have to walk around in my office building wearing a gas mask to go sit in front of my computer.” Outside, the vapors, indiscriminate, hit a man biking past, a middle school teacher, a musician, a volunteer medic and dozens of others who’d been far back in the protest crowd dancing to the drums and chanting. “I think what people fail to realize is, us in Portland, we’re still playing defense so anything we do, it’s a defensive maneuver. We are protecting ourselves at the very most and each other,” said Eli Deschera, 21. “I think that using chemical warfare on civilians is anything but protecting and serving, which is what they’re supposed to be doing,” said Deschera, of Port-

land. By 2:30 a.m., the protest was down to a few hundred people. Tear gas canisters bounced and rolled in the street, their payload fizzing out into the air before protesters picked them up and hurled them back over the fence at the agents, who held their ground quietly. Finally, a line of agents marched in lock step down Third Street, pushing the crowd in front of them with tear gas and pepper balls. People scattered and small groups roamed the downtown as tear gas choked the air. In less than two hours, it would be daylight. The battle over, the agents and the demonstrators gathered their things and left to get some sleep, protesters and protectors sleeping in the same city — perhaps even on the same street — resting up for the next night’s fight. For at nightfall, it will all begin again.

ATLANTA (AP) — Protests took a violent turn in several U.S. cities over the weekend with demonstrators squaring off against federal agents outside a courthouse in Portland, Oregon, forcing police in Seattle to retreat into a station house and setting fire to vehicles in California and Virginia. A protest against police violence in Austin, Texas, turned deadly when police said a protester was shot and killed by a person who drove through a crowd of marchers. And someone was shot and wounded in Aurora, Colorado, after a car drove through a protest there, authorities said. The unrest Saturday and early Sunday stemmed from the weeks of protests over racial injustice and the police treatment of people of color that flared up after the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd, who was

Black and handcuffed, died after a white police officer used his knee to pin down Floyd’s neck for nearly eight minutes while Floyd begged for air. In Seattle, police officers retreated into a precinct station early Sunday, hours after large demonstrations in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Some demonstrators lingered after officers filed into the department’s East Precinct around 1 a.m., but most cleared out a short time later, according to video posted online. At a late-night news conference, Seattle police Chief Carmen Best called for peace. Rocks, bottles, fireworks and mortars were fired at police during the weekend unrest, and police said they arrested at least 45 people for assaults on officers, obstruction and failure to disperse. Twenty-one officers were hurt, with most of their injuries

considered minor, police said. In Portland, thousands of people gathered Saturday evening for another night of protests over George Floyd’s killing and the presence of federal agents recently sent to the city by President Donald Trump. Protesters breached a fence surrounding the city’s federal courthouse building where the agents have been stationed. Police declared the situation to be a riot and at around 1:20 a.m., they began ordering people to leave the area surrounding the courthouse or risk arrest, saying on Twitter that the violence had created “a grave risk” to the public. About 20 minutes later, federal officers and local police could be seen attempting to clear the area and deploying tear gas, however protesters remained past 2:30 a.m., forming lines across

intersections and holding makeshift shields as police patrolled and closed blocks abutting the area. Multiple arrests were made, but it wasn’t immediately clear how many. In the Texas capital of Austin, 28-year-old Garrett Foster was shot and killed Saturday night by a person who had driven through the march against police violence. Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said a car turned onto the block where protesters stood and honked its horn. The driver and several witnesses told police that Foster approached the driver and pointed an assault rifle at them. In video streamed live on Facebook, a car can be heard honking before several shots ring out and protesters start screaming and scattering for cover. Police could then be seen tending to someone lying in the street.

Virus vaccine put to final test in thousands of volunteers (AP) - The world’s biggest COVID-19 vaccine study got underway Monday with the first of 30,000 planned volunteers helping to test shots created by the U.S. government -- one of several candidates in the final stretch of the global vaccine race. There’s still no guarantee that the experimental vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will really protect. The needed proof: Volunteers won’t know if they’re getting the real

shot or a dummy version. After two doses, scientists will closely track which group experiences more infections as they go about their daily routines, especially in areas where the virus still is spreading unchecked. “Unfortunately for the United States of America, we have plenty of infections right now” to get that answer, NIH’s Dr. Anthony Fauci recently told The Associated Press. Moderna said the vaccination was done in Savannah, Georgia, the

first site to get underway among more than seven dozen trial sites scattered around the country. In Binghamton, New York, nurse Melissa Harting said she volunteered as a way “to do my part to help out.” “I’m excited,” Harting said before she received a study injection Monday morning. Especially with family members in front-line jobs that could expose them to the virus, “doing our part to eradicate it is very important to me.”

Virus

tested cases came back negative for the virus. Not only that, but he said Coos Health and Wellness will no longer report which businesses have outbreaks unless they meet the threshold to be reported by the Oregon Health Authority. That threshold depends on the facility, as well. If it is a long term facility and there are three or more cases or a single fatality, the name of the facility will be released. At a normal jobsite, he said, the threshold is five cases for the name of the business to be released. “…We will no longer be discussing whether or not which hospital someone was hospitalized in, what jobsite someone was

working at,” Leon said. “It’s gotten to the point where there’s enough cases. It takes a significant amount of time to get that information and make sure it’s accurate. Any one case or couple of cases is becoming less significant to the public at large… If we discover a gap where we’re concerned about a particular exposure, we will contact the people who need to know about that exposure and that is where we will leave it.” Leon encouraged the public to protect themselves by following the guidance of washing their hands, wearing a face mask wherever they go in public, and social distancing.

also announced during Monday’s press briefing that it will change how it reports COVID-19 cases in the area. Its regular daily update on Facebook and its website will be aligned to go out when Oregon Health Authority’s report goes out at 8 a.m. every day. “…The previous day’s information all the way through 8 a.m. that morning will be on that update…,” Leon said, adding that the information will contain confirmed or presumptive case status, hospitalizations, and which

The old pressure-treated wood decking has been replaced with concrete which also improves the relationship between the structure and the environment. “As the third largest fishing hub in the State of

Oregon, it was critical that the Port took immediate action to begin efforts to rebuild the facility,” the release stated. “The new plant will serve as one of the few public ice docks in the State, ensuring that fleets from our local and neighboring ports will have ice readily accessible for their catch.”

He was out and proud during middle school at Sunset in the mid-90’s and even louder during our years at Marshfield. He was the first out and proud person that hundreds of youth knew

and accepted.” “It was a much different time as it was not so accepting back then, Mims says,” Ruff wrote. “It was the acceptance and love of his amazing family and fabulous friends that got him through those trying years and they are still close today.” After Mims graduated from Marshfield High School, his sister founded the Gray Straight Alliance at the school. “(Mims) believes that Coos Bay has grown and has come a long way of acceptance and tolerance,” Ruff wrote. “All the advice he can give is, ‘Honey, live your truth… It may seem hard now … Believe in yourself and listen to your heart and never allow anyone to tear you down. You only have one life to live. So live truthfully, live bravely and most importantly live with love. Live your best life.’” “We are going to keep the ball rolling,” Ruff said. “Virtually we will make sure we are supporting our local LGBTQ community. We can’t stop.”

Marlins deal with virus outbreak MIAMI (AP) — Two major league games scheduled for Monday night were postponed after more than a dozen Miami Marlins players and staff members tested positive for the coronavirus in an outbreak that stranded the team in Philadelphia. The Marlins’ home opener against Baltimore was called off, as was the New York Yankees’ game at Philadelphia. The Yankees would have been in the same clubhouse the Marlins used last weekend. Nine Marlins players and five staff members received positive results in tests conducted Friday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the results hadn’t been publicly disclosed. The Yankees are staying in Philadelphia for now, and have their own clubhouse staff with the team there, the person said. The Marlins postponed their flight home Sunday night after their series finale against the Phillies. Major League Baseball announced the postponement of both games about eight hours before the scheduled first pitch, and said additional COVID-19 testing was being conducted. “The members of the Marlins’ traveling party are self-quarantining in place while awaiting the outcome of those results,” MLB said in a statement. The Marlins’ outbreak raised anew doubts about MLB’s ability to finish a 60-game season barely underway amid a pandemic. “The health of our players and staff has been and will continue to be our primary focus as we navigate through these unchartered waters,” Marlins CEO Derek Jeter said in a statement. “Postponing tonight’s home opener was the correct decision to ensure we take a collective pause and try to properly grasp the totality of this situation.” Miami pitcher Jose Urena was scratched from his scheduled start in Sunday’s game, and catcher Jorge Alfaro went on the injured list Friday. No reasons were given for the moves. It’s unclear when the Marlins received the latest positive test results.

North Bend bowlers thank sponsors The World NORTH BEND — The ongoing coronavirus pandemic kept the North Bend bowling team from being able to compete in the national tournament, but the team is reaching out to thank all the people who made the potential for the trip possible. “Although the team is very disappointed, we all understand and agree with the cancelation of the tournament,” coach Rod Duryee said. “We want to thank everyone who helped and supported us by buying tickets for the Mexico vacation, winners are Kelly Swope/ Chris Legard,” he added. “And to those who donated money and all the bottles and cans that were donated.” North Bend won all but one of the tournaments during the regular season and then set a record during its start to the state tournament before ultimately finishing second. “We plan to do as well next year and earn another invitation to the tournament,” Duryee said. The money the team raised will now go toward scholarships and grants to boys and girls for the North Bend bowling team next year for the sports fee and tournament fees, as well as bowling gear.

A group of lap swimmers take their turn in the Mingus Park Pool on a sunny morning last week.

Mingus Park Pool is a busy place JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — Kathe McNutt thought she was going to be able to open Mingus Park’s pool when Oregon went into its Phase 1 reopening. She had to wait a little longer, until Phase 2, but the pool has been busy as can be ever since. McNutt was able to open up the pool to lap swimmers and also to add some lessons, while keeping in place rules about social distancing. Add in both her Gold Coast Swim Team and the neighboring South Coast Aquatic Team, which isn’t able to swim in the North Bend Municipal Pool because it’s still closed, and the pool is going for hours every weekday and most of Saturday. The opening has probably been most felt by the community members from up and down the South Coast who are taking part in lap swim, one per lane in onehour time slots. “Monday through Friday, we have nine hours straight of lap

swim,” she said, adding that every lane is booked from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. every weekday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. “If we have a cancel, we try to call people (on the waiting list),” said McNutt, who does all the scheduling. In addition to swimmers from Coos Bay and North Bend, she is getting a lot of swimmers from Bandon and Coquille. “They are just so appreciative of us being open,” McNutt said. Some of the lap swimmers try to get in an hour every day. Most aim for at least a few days a week. All have the same perspective. “It’s just a blessing,” said Tracy Fromm of Coos Bay. “I really appreciate Kathe and the staff and all they are doing to make it work.” Fromm tries to swim five days a week and said he missed the pool being open during the early portion of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was 30 pounds of missing,” Fromm said with a laugh, referring to weight he said he gained that he is now trimming again.

“I’m really grateful they were able to open it up,” he said. “The extra sacrifice they have done has made it appreciated by everybody.” Miriam Zomerschoe was a regular swimmer at North Bend who now is at Mingus Park three or four days a week. “To be able to come over here is a lifesaver,” she said. “It’s super nice when you come here to have a lane.” She added she hopes North Bend is able to reopen soon for more than just personal reasons. She helps people with rehabilitation from injuries and swimming can be a big part of that. “With North Bend closed, it’s hard,” she said. McNutt likes to serve the lap swimmers, but she’s especially happy to be able to provide some lessons, even if it’s a challenge. Each instructor is limited to one swimmer at a time and must wear a face shield. Fortunately, the pool has been able to offer free lessons in 30-minute sessions for 90

minutes on weeknights, courtesy of Advanced Health, which pays for them. Every free lesson has been booked through the month of August, but McNutt said some form of lessons will be offered in September. Parents can call and request their children be put on a waiting list for that time period. The pool also offers weekend lessons, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., with a cost of $15 for 30 minutes. “I’m just glad to get something going for the kids,” McNutt said. “The parents are extremely happy. It’s super safe and easy to control.” On weekdays, McNutt also has time at the pool reserved for both her Gold Coast Swim Team and SCAT. Close to 70 swimmers from the two teams are taking part. “The kids have been really good,” McNutt said. For more information about the pool’s hours or lessons or to try to schedule a time for lap swim, those interested can call the pool at 541-267-1360.

Speedway oval remains popular for drivers Next up is midweek event Wednesday The World COOS BAY — Coos Bay Speedway had another busy Saturday night, with nearly 75 cars entered among the six regular racing divisions on the dirt oval. Officials are hoping for another big turnout Wednesday in one of the speedway’s midweek events. As with other busy evenings of racing, Saturday’s drew drivers from throughout Western Oregon. But local racers won two of the divisions. In the America’s Mattress Super Late Models, Preston Luckman of Coos Bay was the winner, beating Jason Johnson of Gresham to the finish line.

Herbert signs rookie contract with Chargers COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers have signed four of their draft picks, including quarterback Justin Herbert, and have agreed to terms with the other two members of their draft class. The Chargers were able to get contracts done with their draft class on Saturday when they reported to training camp for physicals and equipment. Along with Herbert, who was

selected with the sixth overall pick, the team announced the signings of wide receivers Joe Reed (fifth round) and KJ Hill (seventh round) along with sixth-round safety Alohi Gilman. They have agreed to terms with first-round linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. and running back Joshua Kelley, who was selected in the fourth round. Herbert started 42 games at Oregon, compiling a 29-13

record with 10,541 passing yards and 108 total touchdowns. He led the Ducks to the Pac12 championship last season, throwing 32 touchdowns and six interceptions in 14 games. He capped his career with a win over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, where he ran for three touchdowns and was named the offensive MVP. Herbert will compete with veteran Tyrod Taylor for the starting

job. The Chargers will have a new quarterback after Philip Rivers departed via free agency after 14 seasons as the starter. Murray was the 23rd overall pick after Los Angeles traded with New England to move back into the first round. He was a third-team Associated Press All-America selection selection last season after leading the Sooners with 102 tackles, including 69 solo.

Conferences go their own way planning football RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

Plans for the 2020 college football season — if it is played — should start coming into focus this week. They will trickle down from the top of major college football, with Power Five conferences putting in place revised schedules they hope will make it easier to manage potential disruptions brought on by COVID-19. The Power Five commissioners talked a lot in the spring about the importance of collaboration and trying to launch the season together, with all of the Football Bowl Subdivision acting in unison. The way things are heading, that appears to be out the window. Here’s where each conference stands with the first scheduled college football games about a month away. ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE: The ACC is looking at an 11-game schedule that would include 10 conference games and start Sept. 12. The headline-grabber is that Notre Dame, which

normally plays five or six ACC teams per season, could be a full conference member for this season. The Fighting Irish have never played in a football conference before. That still needs to be worked out and other models are still being considered, including one with eight conference games and one nonconference. BIG TEN: The first conference to announce it would play only conference games. The assumption/speculation has been that the Big Ten would add another game to its existing ninegame schedule to get to 10 and have that in place before the end of July, but the conference has been typically coy about when it will reveal its plans. BIG 12: The Big 12 has been the conference most publicly determined to try to play all its games. The president of Texas Tech made that clear in an interview with the Austin American-Stateman last week. And instead of delaying the start of the season, the Big 12 is taking the opposite approach, moving the start up to create more open dates for potential makeup games.

Kansas has scheduled Southern Illinois (a replacement for another Football Championship Subdivision school) for Aug. 29. Oklahoma also pushed its game against Missouri State to the so-called Week Zero. There have been reports that TCU will play on Aug. 29 against UNLV in the first game at the new NFL stadium in Las Vegas. Both the Horned Frogs and Rebels had games against California canceled when the Pac-12 scrapped nonconference games. PAC-12: The Pac-12 went conference-only a couple of days after the Big Ten, but it said it would deliver a new schedule by July 31. The San Jose Mercury News reported last week the Pac-12 is expected to go with 10 games and start on Sept. 19. That kickoff date could be moved back as far as Oct. 3 if state restrictions enacted to stem spikes in COVID-19 cases force Pac-12 teams to delay the start of preseason practice. SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE: SEC athletic directors left an in-person meeting with Commissioner Greg Sankey

in Birmingham, Alabama, a couple of weeks ago with a few scheduling models on the table. Conference-only games never made sense for the SEC (or the ACC and Big 12). Why prevent Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina from playing instate ACC rivals? Auburn also is scheduled to play North Carolina from the ACC in Atlanta. The SEC could add a conference game to its eight-game slate. There has also been talk within the league of letting teams play as many nonconference games as they can to try to get as close as possible to a full 12-game season. The SEC’s final decision could linger into next week. GROUP OF FIVE: It is not entirely fair to lump the American Athletic Conference, Mountain West, Mid-American Conference, Conference USA and Sun Belt together, but the fact is all are at the mercy of the Power Five in some way. “We’re paying close attention to what the (autonomy) five are doing,” American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco told Yahoo! Sports last

week. “We don’t have any illusions, they drive the train here.” The Big Ten and Pac-12 already have left holes all over Group of Five schedules and potentially in budgets. Many of those canceled nonconference games came with big paydays for the smaller schools. The MAC lost 11 games against Big Ten teams. The Mountain West is out 13 games, some of them home games, because of the Pac-12’s decision. With the ACC heading toward dropping most of its nonconference schedule, a bunch more G5 teams are going to be out of luck. Big 12 and SEC teams might fill a few holes, but most likely they will have to turn to each other and FCS schools if they want to play more than conference games. Same goes for the independents not named Notre Dame such as BYU. But is it worth it? Playing just conference games could save a bunch on travel costs. Those buy games against Power Five teams often fund a big chunk of the rest of the season. If that goes away, some G5 schools might not be able to afford to play a full schedule. Same goes for FCS.

Houston wins NWSL Challenge Cup, beating Red Stars 2-0 SANDY, Utah (AP) — As the underdog Houston Dash celebrated winning the Challenge Cup title, forward Rachel Daly was asked if she could define the team’s identity after the month-long tournament. “Winners,” the Dash co-captain simply said. Sophie Schmidt scored on an early penalty kick and Shea Groom added a stoppage-time goal to give

Houston the trophy with a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Red Stars on Sunday. The tournament was the National Women’s Soccer League’s re-boot after the regular season was shut down by the coronavirus outbreak. Houston, in its seventh year in the league, had never previously made the playoffs. “Grit and determination and courage, I could use all

of those cliche words but they actually mean something within our team,” Daly said. “After every postgame I say ‘Nothing breaks our circle, and if anything breaks our circle, we’ll lose.’ Today nothing broke our circle.” The Red Stars went to the NWSL championship game last season, but were routed 4-0 by the North Carolina Courage.

Houston was aggressive from the start. Kristie Mewis was on the run when she was fouled by Kayla Sharples for a Dash penalty kick. Schmidt nailed the PK in the fifth minute. It was the tournament’s first penalty kick in regulation. The Red Stars nearly drew even in the 15th minute, but Savannah McCaskill’s header off a rebound hit the post.

HOUSTON (AP) — Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander has a strained right forearm and will be shut down for at least two weeks. Astros manager Dusty Baker announced the injury after Houston’s 7-6 loss to the Mariners on Sunday, saying Verlander would be evaluated after two weeks. Verlander denied a report that the injury would end his season in a tweet Sunday night. “The report that I’m currently missing the rest of the season is not accurate,” he tweeted. “There is a forearm strain ... I’m hopeful that with some rest it will heal and I’ll be able to return soon. Thank you

for all the well wishes.” Baker also denied the report. The 37-year-old Verlander had groin surgery in March but recovered in time to pitch for the Astros on opening day Friday with the season delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Baker said Verlander felt “tenderness” in his arm during his start on Friday, where he pitched six innings and got the win. He had an MRI on Saturday, and now he’ll miss at least roughly a third of this 60game regular season. “It happened (Friday) early in the game but he said he felt fine,” Baker said. “You see he was

throwing the ball great ... so it was kind of a shock to all of us.” Baker said he didn’t know who would start in place of Verlander on Wednesday against the Dodgers. “We’re looking into that,” he said. “We know we’re a little short especially on veteran arms.

Jones wins Xfinity Series race at Kansas KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Brandon Jones must have learned something during two stifling Truck Series races at Kansas Speedway. He knew exactly what to do when he stepped in his Xfinity ride. The 23-year-old Jones came roaring around the outside of Austin Cindric on the second attempt at a green-white-checkered finish Saturday, then won the

race to the finish line for his third career win. Jones also won earlier this year at Phoenix and last year’s race at Kansas, though it might have been the last 24 hours that were more helpful. With no practice or qualifying, many Xfinity drivers hadn’t been on the track this weekend. But Jones ran the Truck Series doubleheader on Friday night and earlier Saturday, giving him a little extra

knowledge that he put to good use. Cindric had won both of the early stages and looked like he would tie Sam Ard’s series record with his fourth consecutive Xfinity win. Instead, he wound up second after leading 131 of 175 laps in an otherwise dominant performance. Harrison Burton was third after it appeared he, too, had the win locked up before a late caution.

Donors pour millions into mail-in voting fight WASHINGTON (AP) — Deep-pocketed and often anonymous donors are pouring over $100 million into an intensifying dispute about whether it should be easier to vote by mail, a fight that could determine President Donald Trump’s fate in the November election. In the battleground of Wisconsin, cash-strapped cities have received $6.3 million from an organization with ties to left-wing philanthropy to help expand vote by mail. Meanwhile, a well-funded conservative group best known for its focus on judicial appointments is spending heavily to fight cases related to mail-in balloting procedures in court. And that’s just a small slice of the overall spending, which is likely to swell far higher as the election nears. The massive effort by political parties, super PACs and other organizations to fight over whether Americans can vote by mail is remarkable considering the practice has long been noncontroversial. But the coronavirus is forcing changes to the way states conduct elections and prompting activists across the political spectrum to seek an advantage, recognizing the contest between Trump and Democrat Joe Biden could hinge on whether voters have an alternative to standing in lines at polling places during a public health crisis. Some groups are even raising money to prepare for election-related violence.

“The pandemic has created a state of emergency,” said Laleh Ispahani, the U.S. managing director for Open Society, a network of nonprofits founded by billionaire progressive donor George Soros. “Donors who haven’t typically taken on these issues now have an interest.” How much will be spent is unclear because many of the organizations are nonprofits that won’t disclose those details to the IRS until well after the election. Even then, many sources of money will remain unknown because such groups don’t have to disclose their donors, commonly referred to as “dark money.” Tax filings, business records and campaign finance disclosures offer some clues. They reveal vast infrastructure that funnels money from wealthy donors, through philanthropic organizations and political groups, which eventually trickles down to smaller nonprofits, many of which operate under murky circumstances. On the conservative side, organizations including Judicial Watch, the Honest Elections Project, True the Vote and the Public Interest Legal Foundation are litigating cases related to voting procedures across the U.S. A substantial portion of the financing comes from Donors Trust, a nonprofit often referred to as the “dark money ATM” of the conservative movement. The organization helps wealthy patrons invest in causes they

care about while sheltering their identities from the public. In other instances, funding comes from charitable foundations built by the fortunes of Gilded Age industrialists. Litigation is a primary focus. Democrats and good government organizations are pushing to eliminate hurdles to absentee voting, like requiring a witness’s signature or allowing third parties to collect ballots. Conservatives say that amounts to an invitation to commit voter fraud. As these issues wind their way through courts, they say judges could decide complex policy matters that often were already debated by state legislatures. “The wrong way to go about this is to run to court, particularly a week or two before an election, trying to get judges to intervene and second-guess decisions legislatures have made,” said Jason Snead, the executive director of the Honest Elections Project. His organization is a newly formed offshoot of the Judicial Education Project, a group that previously focused on judicial appointments and received more than $25.3 million between 2016 and 2018 from the Donors Trust, records show. They are deeply intertwined with the conservative Catholic legal movement and share an attorney, William Consovoy, with the Republican National Committee, which has pledged $20 million for voting litigation. Leonard Leo, a Trump confi-

dant who was instrumental in the confirmations of the president’s Supreme Court nominees, plays a leading role. He’s now chairman of a public relations firm called CRC Advisors, which is overseeing a new effort to establish a clearinghouse for anonymous donors to fund conservative causes, including the fight over vote by mail. The firm played a significant role in the 2004 election by publicizing unfounded claims made by a group called Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, which questioned Democratic nominee John Kerry’s record as a Vietnam War hero, records show. The group’s involvement in vote by mail marks a sea change for Republicans. Claims of widespread voter fraud have long energized segments of the party’s base. But it did not elicit much interest from donors, and the handful of groups devoted to the issue operated on minuscule budgets. But in recent years, Democrats have mounted legal challenges that threatened voting laws championed by conservatives. And Trump’s repeated focus on “rigged elections” has made the issue part of a broader culture war. Still, some activists question the GOP establishment’s commitment to the cause. “They aren’t going to take on Republicans like we have,” said Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder of True the Vote. While Republicans are focused

on the courts and raising doubts about vote by mail, the challenge faced by Democrats is far more daunting. In addition to litigation, they must mobilize their base during a pandemic. That includes educating the public about vote by mail, a difficult task when doorto-door canvasing isn’t an option. Some groups are donating directly to local governments. In Wisconsin, the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit with ties to left-leaning philanthropy, has donated $6.3 million to the state’s five largest cities to set up ballot drop boxes, help voters file absentee ballot requests and expand in-person early voting. Even before the pandemic, government funding for elections was limited. Since then, the outbreak has escalated costs while cratering tax revenue. “Due to COVID, there definitely has been a higher cost,” said Mayor John Antaramian, of Kenosha, which received $863,000 through the grant — roughly four times what the city budgeted for the election. “Is there a financial shortfall on that basis? Of course.” Much of the money on the left is likely to come from a series of nonprofit funds controlled by the consulting firm Arabella Advisors, which typically routes upwards of $500 million a year to causes supported by liberal donors. The firm was founded by Eric Kessler, who served in Bill Clinton’s White House.

Congress works on next virus relief package National security adviser WASHINGTON (AP) — As Congress and the White House resume their efforts to agree on a new economic aid package, evidence is growing that the U.S. economy is faltering. And so is concern that the government may not take the steps needed to support hiring and growth. “We’re in a pretty fragile state again,” warned Nancy Vanden Houten, lead economist at Oxford Economics, a consulting firm. “The economy needs another shot in the arm.” With unemployment still at a high 11.1% and hiring potentially slowing in July, the economy is likely to weaken further without more government aid, economists say. Few agree with White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow’s assertion on Sunday that the nation is on a V-shaped recovery path, in which the sharp recession that began in February would be followed by a quick rebound. What’s needed, most economists say, is continued extra aid for tens of millions of unemployed Americans, along with more funding for state and local governments and more grants for struggling small companies, many of which could go out of business. Yet even with the viral outbreak intensifying and nearly half of Americans whose families have endured a layoff saying they fear those jobs are lost forever, Congress isn’t anywhere close to agreeing on the outlines of a package even as a $600-a-week federal payment to the unemployed has expired. The debate coincides with worrisome signs about the job market and the economy. The number of laid-off workers who have applied for unemployment benefits has topped 1 million every week for 18 straight weeks. Before the pandemic, that figure never exceeded 700,000. Real-time data shows that Americans’ visits to shops and restaurants have leveled off after having grown in May and June. Air travel fell last

week compared with the week before. As Congress struggles to reach a compromise on a new financial rescue plan, the main sticking point is the supplemental federal unemployment aid, which provides $600 a week on top of whatever benefit each state provides. The White House wants to replace the enhanced benefit with a payment that would vary by state but would combine with a state unemployment benefit to replace 70% of recipients’ previous income, likely with some cap for high-income earners. On average, state benefits are equivalent to 45% of workers’ former incomes. Senate Republicans favor reducing the $600 to a flat payment of $200, possibly as a bridge to a 70% replacement system. The flat payment had been adopted in March because most states’ unemployment systems use antiquated software that cannot adjust individual payments using a percentage formula. The Democratic-led House has already approved legislation that would extend the $600 through January. Research has shown that, counting the $600 a week in federal aid, roughly two-thirds of those out of work are receiving more money from their jobless benefits than they earned at their previous jobs. That conclusion has fueled Republican concerns that the extra aid has discouraged some of the unemployed from returning to work, potentially slowing the recovery. Many small businesses have said the $600 weekly federal benefit has made it harder for them to fill jobs. But some unemployed people are reluctant to return to work because they fear becoming infected. And others have tried and failed to find any work. One new finding suggests that the federal jobless benefit hasn’t broadly kept people from going back to work. In a paper released Monday, a group of economists and doctoral students at Yale University found that unemployed people with larger

percentage gains in their benefits were no less likely to return to work than those with smaller increases. When the unemployment rate is as high as it is now, economists generally worry less about disincentives, because so few jobs are available. It’s when unemployment is low and people who are out of work know that jobs are widely available that the disincentive to work would more likely apply. William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO, argued that the 7.5 million jobs that the economy added in May and June suggest that most of the unemployed will take a job offer when unemployment is high, because they know another opportunity may be hard to find. “This is the last lifeboat leaving, and if you don’t get on it, you’re toast,” Spriggs said. Most workers also prefer the security of a job over a temporary, if generous, benefit, he said. Jeremiah Spelts is among those who would like to find new work. Spelts, 41, earned more money from his diesel mechanic job, which he lost in June, than on unemployment. He worked in the oil fields in Wyoming until his employer of two years ran through their Paycheck Protection loan from the government and oil prices fell. Still, the extra $600 has made it possible for him to cover all his bills. If that goes away, “I would literally start losing things,” he said. “The first to go would be my apartment and utilities.” On other issues, Senate Republicans have indicated that they oppose further aid to state and local governments, though they support more money for schools. The House Democrats’ bill provides $1 trillion for state and local governments. Both parties support additional funding for small businesses, but Senate Republicans are considering limiting new grants to businesses whose revenue has shrunk at least 50%.

tests positive for virus WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien has tested positive for the coronavirus — making him the highest-ranking official to test positive so far. That’s according to two people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss it by name. The White House confirmed that O’Brien has mild symptoms and “has been self-isolating and working from a secure location off site.” Officials did not respond to questions about the last time the president and O’Brien had contact, but the White House insisted that, “There is no risk of exposure to the President or the Vice President” and that the “work of the National Security Council continues uninterrupted.” Trump told reporters as he left the White House on Monday that he wasn’t sure when his national security adviser had tested positive and hadn’t “seen him lately,” but would be giving O’Brien a call. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow had said earlier that O’Brien’s daughter also has the virus, and that that is how officials think he was exposed. O’Brien also recently returned from a trip to France, where he met with top European officials and was photographed standing close to others and not

wearing a mask. O’Brien is the highest-ranking White House official known to have contracted the virus and the first since May, when a personal valet to the president and the vice president’s press secretary tested positive for the virus that has now infected more than 4 million people nationwide. Numerous U.S. Secret Service agents and Trump campaign staffers have also tested positive, including national finance chair Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is the girlfriend of Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr. Senior White House staff and anyone who comes into close contact with the president and vice president are tested for the virus daily, but mask-wearing remains lax across the White House complex. Trump, who has long dismissed the severity of the virus and claimed wrongly earlier this month that “99 percent” of cases are “totally harmless,” said in a recent interview on Fox News Channel that he had personally “lost five people, probably six, actually, as of this moment, I think, pretty soon” to the virus. O’Brien is Trump’s fourth national security adviser, having been named in September to replace John Bolton, who was ousted over policy disagreements and went on to write a scathing tell-all book about his time at the White House.

Flooding threat continues in wake of Hanna in Texas CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A downgraded Hanna continued charging across the borderland of South Texas and northeastern Mexico, where flooding remained the biggest threat Monday in a region that was already reeling from a surge in cases of the coronavirus. Hanna, downgraded to a tropical depression, passed over the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday with winds near 50 mph (85 kph), the National Hurricane Center said. It unloaded more than 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain in some areas, and more was expected. Border communities whose health care systems were already strained by COVID-19 cases —

with some patients being airlifted to larger cities — found themselves grappling with Hanna. There were no immediate reports of any deaths on either side of the border. Dr. Ivan Melendez, the health authority in Hidalgo County, Texas, was treating a patient overnight at a hospital when he and a nurse noticed water streaming down a wall and pooling on the floor. The water was flowing through a vent in the room, which had been retrofitted with a fan to create negative pressure and prevent the virus spreading through the hospital. After driving home in the storm in the middle of the night,

Melendez was trapped Sunday morning in his home by downed trees and had no electricity. He used the phone to discuss whether to put a 58-year-old woman on a ventilator, a decision he felt uncomfortable making without seeing the patient in person. “You look at the people’s eyes,” he said. “You’ll know if they’re in despair.” Another doctor decided to place the woman on the ventilator, he said later. Henry Van De Putte, CEO of the Red Cross’ Texas Gulf Coast chapter, said the organization would open more shelters with reduced capacity to ensure social distancing. Volunteers and people

seeking refuge will undergo temperature checks, and a medical professional will be assigned to each location, he said. A community building known as the “Dome” in Mercedes, Texas, was set aside for evacuees who had tested positive for COVID-19 or were exposed to the virus. Across the region, shelters were also opened in hotels, schools and gyms. Van De Putte emphasized that people should not delay seeking help because of the virus. “Yes, coronavirus provides risk, but so does floodwater, so does not having electricity, so does not having required medications,” he said. “We’re doing

everything we can do possible to make it a safe environment.” In the Mexican border city of Reynosa, a maternity hospital was damaged by heavy rain, and water had to be pumped out, authorities said. Some patients had to be moved to upper floors, and a few were evacuated to other hospitals, said Pedro Granados, director of civil protection for Tamaulipas state. Coastal states scrambled this spring to adjust emergency hurricane plans to account for the virus, and Hanna was the first big test. Gov. Greg Abbott said Saturday that some people in need of shelter would be given hotel rooms to keep them apart from others.

This week in Coos County history: July 26-28 100 YEARS — 1920 Population of Marshfield is given as 4034 Increase of 1054 over figures of 1910 census which is 35.4 percent Does not indicate people of community Englewood, Bunker Hill and other outlying districts not included Only for city proper North Bend in same position with suburban population — whole bay population would be quite large Official figures MARSHFIELD, Ore. — The census bureau gives the population of Marshfield for 1920 as 4034, an increase over 1910 of 1054, or 35.4 percent. The announcement of the population of Marshfield as 4034 for 1920 was a disappointment to some but was about what was expected to others. After the enumerators had completed their work the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce, through a committee, made final finds of the city on the last Sunday and added some who had not been in the city during the week and therefore not caught by the enumerators. Other years The population of Marshfield as shown by the Oregon Blue Book since 1890, was as follows: 1890—1461. 1900—1391. 1910—2980. 1920—4034.

Declares city most untidy in all of Oregon Judge Coke says Marshfield is most ragged and unkempt of any in state Appeals to council to better conditions Suggests something should be done to make it beautiful instead of unattractive Financial Loss People will not locate because not inviting place for a home — asks improvement of park and pine That Marshfield is the most ragged and poorly kept city in the state and that something should be done to better its general appearance was the statement made by Circuit Judge Coke at the meeting of the city council last night. The judge was present at the meeting to make several complaints regarding street and sidewalk conditions in his neighborhood and asking that some improvements be made. After he presented these matters he took option to give his opinion of the uglyness of the city in no uncertain terms.

Roseburg road to be improved Oregon State Highway Commission will push it Letter indicates that they have granted both requests of county court (Special to The Times) COQUILLE, Ore. — County Judge Wade yesterday received a letter from the state highway commission, in answer to recent petitions by the county court, with reference to the Coquille-Myrtle Point road, and also the road from Myrtle Point to the Douglas line.

The decision of the commission is not altogether clear as to just what is intended, although it seems that it has granted the petition and request of the court, as far as the letter can be made out.

Reedsport mills get some cars Slight relief in lumber shipping situation There was a slight relief in the car shortage at Reedsport yesterday when twelve cars for the mills were received. These will help to move some of the lumber which has piled up at the mills. The Johnson plant and the Winchester Bay Lumber company plant are both running but the Reedsport lumber company mill is shut down on account of the car situation. Ed Aasen is running the Johnson logging camp, but the Reedsport company is not operating. The lumber companies at Reedsport have kept going most of the time but the difficulty in getting cars has made steady operation a difficult matter. The conditions were relieved a good deal for the Johnson company when arrangements were made to ship some of the lumber by water.

Says Coos trade is needed now Portland paper makes suggestion about county Declares that this section has much that could be turned to the Oriental markets That Coos county and Portland should be more closely connected in a commercial way is the suggestion made in the following editorial in the Portland Journal: “Why wouldn’t it be a profitable enterprise for Portland to win the trade of Coos County and tie it in with our rapidly increasing Oriental commerce? “Coos county has two harbors, Coos Bay and Coquille. Both send large quantities of lumber by schooner to San Francisco. Both receive goods from San Francisco as return cargo for the lumber schooners at rates designed to prevent the vessels traveling empty. This face explains why, primarily, Coos and Curry counties, though a part of Oregon, belong in the trade at the present time in California. “But Coos county has more than 20,000,000,000 feet of unusally fine timber. Some four hundred square miles are underlaid with the only considerable deposits of coal in Oregon and this coal is of a fair quality for steaming and domestic purposes. Coos county is ranked as second in dairying and contends for second honors in fruit production. “Much of this empire in the southwestern corner of Oregon produces staples and would be valuable as Oriental cargo. Why not establish a transfer point, say at the mouth of the Columbia between the Oriental liners and feeder schooners from down the Oregon coast?”

business in the Bay Area for 15 years and now has temporary facilities for Olds and Cadillac sales and service at 586 Central. The new building is designed by Kruse and Fitch, Coos Bay architects, and will utilize the latest in modern masonry and wood products in a facility of about 14,000 square feet. The setting for the building is of two acers — allowing ample space for customer parking, new and used car storage and off-street parking for employees. The building will be surrounded by paved parking for service customers, and new and used car sales area. New car display room is elevated four feet above ground level and will be completely enclosed with glass. The service facility is equipped with 12 entrance doors and is at ground level. All the latest equipment for serving all makes of cars, including body shop and paint room, are in this portion of the new building, Young said.

USA wins meet; ‘Pre’ wins 1,500 MOSCOW (UPI) — It didn’t count, but it still felt good. That was the consensus of opinion Sunday after the United States managed to overwhelm Russia in a track and field meet. However, litter revenge could be gained for the beating the U.S. took last Thursday and Friday at the hands of the Soviet Union in Leningrad since the Moscow meet was billed as a “friendly and informal” test with no scoring. The American men won all but two of the track events, including a one-two-three finish in the 200 meter dash while the U.S. girls did almost as well. Willie Turner of Oregon State led the 200 meter sweep with a time of 20.3 seconds. … Steve Prefontaine of the University of Oregon copped the 1,500 meterse in 3:44.9.

Stores, court crack down on Coos Bay shoplifters Surveillance, bail greatly increased Coos Bay merchants are taking steps to crack down on shoplifting and the city’s municipal court is adding its heft to the campaign. An upsurge in arrests for the crime was noted the past few weeks, with arrests so far in July equaling those of the previous three months, according to records at the Coos Bay police station. This jump can be attributed to increased surveillance on the part of merchants, a survey of several retailers shows, and a determination to prosecute the offenders.

By Andrew Sirocchii Staff Writer Thirty-one people who were charged with participating in animal fighting during a cockfighting incident in April will be making a hefty contribution to the Coos County Animal Shelter. Deputy District Attorney Lad Wiles said the final three defendants in the case settled with the county out of court Wednesday in exchange for charges being dismissed. Last week, 28 of the defendants settled for the same out-of-court agreement, but Wiles declined to comment on the specifics of the deal until all the defendants had settled. At the time, Wiles said only that the deal was fair to everyone involved. So what’s the settlement come up to? All 31 charged were mandated to contribute $215 to the Coos county Animal Shelter … an operation that has been hampered by budget cutbacks and lack of funding.

Richards shines under the lights for Bay Area Americans By Jamie Lawson Sports Writer Every door Klamath Falls City tried to open, Tyler Richards slammed shut. The Bay Area Americans pitcher shut down Klamath Falls on three hits and added a crucial hit late in the game to lead Bay Area to a 6-1 win in Game 2 of Oregon’s southern portion of the Babe Ruth 13- to 15-year-old State Tournament on Thursday night at Clyde Allen Field in North Bend. The 15-year-old Richards couldn’t have asked for a better start to the eight-team tournament, even though the game lasted until after 11 p.m. “It was exciting all the way through the end,” he said. “I am a little bit tired.”

Quinney repeats in Bandon Eugene native shoots 9-under, U.S. Amateur in August next Jeff Quinney must really enjoy playing golf at Bandon Dunes. Two weeks after winning a Pacific Northwest Golf Association event at the Scottish links course two weeks ago, the Eugene native easily won the U.S. Amateur Sectional Qualifier after shooting a two-round total of 135 on Thursday — five shots ahead of the second-place finisher. The amateur qualifier is a number of many such events held around the country to determine the field for the U.S. Amateur held at Baltusrol Golf Course, located in Springfield, New Jersey, on Aug. 21-27. The Bandon Dunes tournament had 43 participating for two spots that qualify to go to New Jersey. Quinney, who hanily won the PNGA event, did so again with a 69 through the first 18 holes and a 66 on the back side. These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.
