OSAA delays fall sports to winter JOHN GUNTHER The World

The good news is that students who participate in the traditional fall sports of football, volleyball, cross country and soccer will get to have a season this coming school year. The bad news is they have to wait until next winter for that season to begin. The Oregon School Activities Association Executive Board decided Wednesday to postpone the

fall season until after the winter season, which also will have a delayed start. “The goal was to try to maximize opportunities for students, providing three distinct seasons for later in the year,” OSAA Executive Director Peter Weber said in a story for OSAAtoday. That was welcome news for North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester. “Everybody gets a season,” Forrester said. “It won’t be a

perfect season, but it’s better than no season at all.” The no-season-at-all scenario already played out in the spring when the golf, baseball, softball, tennis and track and field seasons were wiped out by the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to no in-school learning for the final months of the school year. The new plan calls for all sports to have a seven-week regular season, followed by one

“culminating week.” What that week looks like for the various sports will be determined later, Weber said, and will be decided in alignment with large group gathering guidelines issued by the state. “We’ll have to work with our membership on what that would look like,” he said. “In our football contingency groups, they said that maybe that could be a bowl game. And that type of approach could be done in other

activities, as well. We definitely wanted to leave room for the opportunity of some type of culminating event.” The Executive Board’s decision follows one made by Nevada to also have shortened seasons (six weeks each) beginning with winter sports in January. Washington and California also have modified what their school sports years will look like. Please see OSAA, Page A7

CB police monitoring Saturday event on Boardwalk Event advertised as “peaceful and friendly” AMY MOSS STRONG The World

COOS BAY — On Saturday Aug. 8, there is a BLM/Safer As One event scheduled to occur on the Coos Bay Boardwalk. The Coos Bay Police Department has received numerous inquiries, questions and concerns pertaining to this event, according to Police Chief Gary McCullough. “The Coos Bay Police Department has been closely monitoring this and at this time there is

nothing to suggest that the event is anything other than what it has been advertised ... a peaceful, friendly event,” McCullough wrote in a press release. The Coos Bay Safer As One Facebook page invites people to “Come join us as we fight for policy change in Coos Bay, Oregon. The current political climate of our country has only highlighted the lack of diversity, inclusion, and support of the black, brown and indigenous people established in Coos Bay. “We are coming together to show our local officials that we need them to mandate the use of police body cams, to bring jus-

tice to the victims of hate crimes and to reopen the case of Saraya Rees. Bring your whistles, signs and noise makers! We will not be silenced anymore!” The event, organized by Jay Brown, Julianne Ashley Jackson and three others will begin at noon on the Coos Bay Boardwalk. The group plans to march to the Coos Bay City Hall building where there will be speakers, then will march back to the original location by 4:30 p.m., according to the social media invitation. “Please wear comfy clothing/ shoes. Bring a smile. This event is 100% peaceful and educational. Feel free to bring the entire

family down to March,” reads the invitation. McCullough said the Coos Bay Police Department is asking that all participants respect everyone’s First Amendment rights to free speech and to assemble peacefully, and to respect everyone’s property, whether personal or business. “The Coos Bay Police Department will have a presence at the event,” stated McCullough. “Should any issues arise, the Coos Bay Police Department will address and deal the individuals or groups responsible. The Coos Bay Police Department is not asking for outside assistance from citizens or groups to assist them.”

SOUTH COAST

BROOKINGS — Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is in active conversations about the potential of travel restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus between states, two state newspapers have reported. Coos and Curry Counties are among those counties that have reported travelers and visitors from other areas and states testing positive for COVID-19, with some of those cases reported from Curry County’s only hospital. The Oregonian/Oregon Live and Eugene Weekly both carried articles Tuesday indicating that Gov. Brown has communicated with state legislators about possible travel restrictions. In response to a request for a statement this morning, Gov. Brown’s Press Secretary Liz Merah responded: “As mentioned in recent press availabilities, in recent weeks, doctors, health experts, and case investigators have reported seeing cases linked to interstate travel. The issue of travel restrictions was raised by members of the Governor’s Medical Advisory Panel based on COVID-19 cases linked to travel in southern Oregon, which is troubling based on the spikes in case counts California is currently experiencing. County-level COVID-19 data from across the country likewise shows increasing case counts between linked communities across state borders. “We are asking the health experts at the Oregon Health Authority and the Medical Advisory Panel for more data on travel-related spread of COVID-19, as well as recommendations for health and safety measures to address such cases. In conversations with legislators today, our office also discussed the reality that many Oregonians in communities on the state’s borders often cross those borders for work, and that any restrictions must take economic and supply chain implications into account. As the Governor has stated previously, our focus is on restrictions related to tourist travel from hotspot states and communities. Conversations are ongoing about how those restrictions could work.”

Oregon COVID-19 cases now over 20,000 The World

The World

PORTLAND — COVID-19 has claimed one more life in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 339, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday. Oregon Health Authority also reported 267 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, bringing the state total to 20,225. The new cases reported today are in the following counties: Baker (1), Benton (1), Clackamas (22), Clatsop (1), Columbia (4), Coos (1), Crook (1), Deschutes (12), Douglas

(5), Grant (1), Jackson (16), Jefferson (10), Josephine (2), Lane (12), Linn (3), Malheur (19), Marion (33), Morrow (1), Multnomah (45), Polk (4), Sherman (1), Umatilla (27), Wasco (6), Washington (30), and Yamhill (9). Oregon’s 339th COVID-19 death is an 83-year-old man in Umatilla County who tested positive on July 16 and died on Aug. 1, at Good Shepherd Health Care Center. He had underlying conditions. Public charge rule blocked amid COVID-19 pandemic A judge issued new in-

junctions last week blocking the public charge immigration rule during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will allow immigrant communities across Oregon and the rest of the country to access critical health care and public benefits during the current health crisis. The injunction issued against the Department of Homeland Security prevents the agency from enforcing, applying, implementing or treating as effective the “public charge” rule for any period during a declared national health emergency in response to the

COVID-19 outbreak. The rule had expanded the list of benefits that the federal government could consider in deciding whether a person can enter the United States or obtain lawful permanent residency. “The public charge rule has worsened health disparities, especially for the Latino/a/x community, at a time when they are most hard hit by the lethal coronavirus,” said Patrick Allen, Oregon Health Authority Director. “Here in Oregon many immigrant families decided not to access public benefits, even leaving their children without health

insurance.” In January the Supreme Court issued a ruling that lifted an October 2019 decision to block the public charge rule, allowing it to go into effect. As a result, the Department of Homeland Security began enforcing the rule on Feb. 24, just before the coronavirus outbreak became a nationwide pandemic. Learn about how to avoid coronavirus scams The COVID-19 pandemic has given scammers a variety of different opportunities to commit fraud. Learn more about potential scams at the Division of Financial

Regulation’s COVID-19 fraud prevention webpage. Topics include fake mobile banking apps, government imposters, bogus unemployment claims, and more.

“As the pandemic continues, access to food has worsened greatly,” said Self-Sufficiency Programs Deputy Director Claire Seguin. “Providing another month of emergency assistance will help ease the threat of chronic hunger in Oregon.” SNAP households will automatically receive the additional allotment in the same way they receive their current benefits. For most customers this is an EBT card. The additional benefit amount will be disbursed on the schedule below to all eligible SNAP households.

No additional action is needed from Oregonians already enrolled in SNAP. The increase brings all households to the maximum SNAP benefit. Households that already receive the maximum benefit will not receive any additional benefits. The table below shows the maximum SNAP benefits based on the number of eligible people in the household Household size: 1; max SNAP benefit — $194 Household size: 2; max SNAP benefit — $355 Household size: 3; max

SNAP benefit — $509 Household size: 4; max SNAP benefit — $646 Household size: 5; max SNAP benefit — $768 Each additional person +$146 This allotment will not permanently change a household’s monthly benefit amount. It is a temporary supplement to help during the current health crisis. The Department of Human Services will not be sending individual notices to households about the emergency allotments. In addition, Oregon received approval to

continue to waive the requirement to complete an interview for new SNAP applicants. This change will allow DHS to process applications faster and better serve those Oregonians hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff will still reach out to new applicants to offer additional resources, explain requirements and answer questions.

Oregonians to receive increased SNAP benefits in August The World OREGON — The Oregon Department of Human Services has received approval by the federal Food and Nutrition Service to continue in August to provide increased food benefits and waive the interview requirement for new applicants – making it faster and easier for Oregonians to access benefits. This will result in an additional $30 million to eligible Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in August 2020.

Gov. Kate Brown announces updates to County Watch List The World

SALEM — Governor Kate Brown announced Thursday, Aug. 6, that Lake County has succeeded in reducing the spread of COVID-19 sufficiently enough to be removed from the County Watch List. This brings the total number of counties on the Watch List to nine. “Like last week with Union and Lincoln counties, I want to applaud Lake County officials and community members for their work in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in their area. You are another example of how we can control the spread of this disease by working together,” said Gov. Brown. The County Watch List allows the state to prioritize resources

and assistance to counties that are seeing the broadest community spread of COVID-19. When a county is placed on the Watch List, the Oregon Health Authority increases monitoring and communication, and deploys additional technical assistance and resources, such as epidemiological support, case investigation and contact tracing help. Counties remain on the Watch List for a minimum of three weeks and until their sporadic case rates drop below the Watch List thresholds (sporadic case rates of 50 or more per 100,000 people, and more than five sporadic cases, in the last two weeks). Marion County — which was added to the Watch List last week — recently completed investigations that

identified sources for cases that were reported last week as sporadic. Out of an abundance of caution, Marion County will remain on the Watch List to monitor for any increases in community spread. Governor Brown added, “I want to remind all Oregonians that this disease is something that, for the time being, we must learn to live with. This means, your continued work to protect yourselves and others — wearing a face covering, watching your distance, and washing your hands — is of the utmost importance.” The complete County Watch List now includes the following nine counties: Baker, Hood River, Jefferson, Malheur, Marion, Morrow, Multnomah, Umatilla, and Wasco.

GUEST OPINION Joe Benetti

Mayor of Coos Bay

As the City of Coos Bay mayor and in partnership with our City Council, I have made a commitment to take actions aimed at helping the citizens of Coos Bay feel safe, respected and represented. As such, we had planned to launch a series of community forums, engaging in open dialogue regarding racial tensions. Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, we must abide by the statewide ban on gatherings of more than 10 people. We still feel an urgent need to continue these conversations and are eager to hear questions, comments, and feedback from the greater Coos Bay community. We have created the below linked invitation for residents to share thoughts directly with the City Council. From these conversations, we

plan to work with our partners in the community to develop actionable next steps, ensuring we live up to the rich heritage and “can-do” attitude for which we pride ourselves. Please visit here to submit your thoughts or our website at www.coosbay.org.

Outdoors leaders applaud legislation The World BEND — Oregon Outdoors, a coalition comprising leaders in the outdoor recreation industry, non-profit recreation groups and conservation organizations who advocate for the maintenance and expansion of Oregon’s outdoor assets, applauded the enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act which President Donald Trump signed into law on Aug. 4, 2020. All members of Oregon’s congressional delegation voted in support of the bill. The legislation will invest funds in priority repairs at National Park Service (NPS) sites in Oregon and across the country. In Oregon, deferred maintenance needs total nearly $174 million with Crater Lake National Park accounting for over $142 million alone. This is just a small part of the over $13 billion backlog threatening park resources and local economies. It is estimated that if all the deferred maintenance at NPS sites in Oregon was managed, over 1,156 jobs could be created or supported. The bill also provides resources for maintenance and management on other public lands and permanently funds the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The LWCF has helped protect some of Oregon’s most special places and ensure recreational access for a wide range of activities. The fund also provides resources to urban and rural communities for recreation facilities. Over the past five decades, Oregon has received approximately $313 million in LWCF funding, protecting places such as the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Oregon Coast Wildlife Refuges, West Eugene Wetlands, Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and the Oregon National Historic Trail. “Outdoor recreation generates $16.4 billion per year and sustains over 171,000 jobs in Oregon,” said Cailin O’Brien-Feeney, director of the Oregon Office of Outdoor

Recreation. “Our public lands, parks and historic sites have been seeing increased pressure from use and limited funding for maintenance for years now. This bill will help restore the integrity of these important places so they can continue to be enjoyed now and in the future. Our entire Oregon congressional delegation deserves recognition for their leadership in supporting the Great American Outdoors Act.” The legislation is the most significant investment in almost 65 years for national parks and public lands. Equally important, it will help local communities and businesses get back on their feet and generate new jobs. According to NPS, in 2019 alone more than 1.2 million visitors visited national parks in Oregon. From Oregon Caves to Fort Vancouver, Oregon saw $91.7 million spent in gateway communities. That spending supported 1,315 jobs and provided a cumulative benefit of $129.6 million to the state economy — money that helps businesses, schools, and families. This legislation was supported more than 900 organizations including local towns and cities, the recreation industry, veterans groups, hotel and lodging, infrastructure associations, preservation groups, hunters and anglers, conservation organizations and local businesses. Oregon Outdoors Oregon Outdoors is the only coalition composed of the outdoor recreation industry, nonprofit recreation groups and conservation organizations focused on advocating for the maintenance and expansion of Oregon’s outdoor assets. Outdoor recreation generates $16.4 billion per year and sustains over 171,000 jobs in Oregon. Through open and inclusive communication, we are committed to adding strength to the outdoor recreation movement in Oregon – supporting and amplifying the good work of others, and acting as unified voice for recreation in the Legislature and in Congress.

U.S. Coast Guard: I salute you Four hundred words or less won’t contain all I have to say about the Coast Guard. I entered in 1979 at the age of 30 and because I had a law enforcement background, spent nine years on assignments that were related. During my time, I met helicopter pilots and crews whose skills and heroism were beyond description. I was assigned to cutters, one in Miami and one in Los Angeles with command and crews that made me proud to wear my uniform. I spent the last three years on a law enforcement training team traveling the West Coast, Hawaii and Alaska teaching young men and women in whom my pride in describing them in later years could never measure up. Once, while spending a week in Charleston training the folks at the station there, I was called out to North Bend Air Station for a Russian defector, who had jumped ship. I have many stories and adventures I could relate during my nine years but the most enduring memory I have is of the personnel, mostly young folks, who at the drop of a hat run and man their small boats or aircraft and charge into weather or sea conditions that everyone else was trying desperately to escape. The Coast Guard is celebrating its birthday today (Aug. 4) and for me, it’s a day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The young fella I knew and liked a lot who almost begged us to get him into aviation only to be killed when the C-130 he was a crew on, crashed into a hillside in Alaska, or the crew of the buoy tender who struck the sunshine skyway bridge in St Petersburg Fl and all drowned. I also remember the young folks I trained to do boardings, kids really who had never carried a weapon before and went on boardings with me on shrimpers and coastal freighters packed with tons of illegal drugs in the dead of night in the Caribbean. To all of those folks, and to all of you who serve today. I SALUTE YOU. Robert Benjamin Myrtle Point

The Violence of the Paranoid In the last two months, I’ve participated in numerous peaceful, anti-racist, pro-sub-community demonstrations in Coos Bay, Bandon and even North Bend. Most of those demonstrations were no reaction, no response, meaning if you drove by and honked, we smiled and waved, and if you flipped us off, we smiled and waved. Despite other groups of right-wing protesters who get up in the window of your car and yell in your face, or bring their guns, dogs and hockey masks to counter-protest, we’ve stayed to our no-reaction, no-response rule almost all of the time. I myself have livestreamed over a dozen days of our peaceful Safer As One demonstrations at the boardwalk. We’ve been met with hostility before and we’ve never been violent. However, some people don’t want to watch dozens of hours of peaceful demonstrations, they want to post 30-second, obsolete, out of context clips of people saying things when

they’re emotional and exhausted. We’ve been peacefully fighting every day for our sub-communities (which many of you misunderstand to be segregation, instead of a Venn diagram of groups of people with similar characteristics within the whole community.) Many of you don’t completely understand our fight because you don’t understand every sub-community, and that’s okay. We want to elevate our sub-communities so that you can get educated on them, so that we can have conversations and we can understand each other better. As a member of Safer As One, that’s been part of our group’s goal from day one. However, there are still many in our community that think our local peaceful activism is a cover for some inevitable violence that they see on rightwing media in the cities, and that they think will come here. They think BLM is a terrorist organization, and that their black bloc caricature of antifa is going to loot our stores and burn our town. I stand with Black Lives Matter and I’m antifa (anti-fascist, not an organization), and I can tell you 100% that nobody is bringing violence here. Not on the 8th, not ever. Coos Bay is seeing specters of violence where there is none. Violent activism would be unprecedented here. However, some lob threats towards our family friendly demonstration on the 8th, or our daily demonstrations at the boardwalk, and that Coos Bay, is your violence. The violence of the paranoid. We have been peaceful, and we will continue to be. Cameron Langley Coos Bay

Hooray for Gov. Brown! Hoorah for Governor Kate Brown! Not only has she saved hundreds of Oregon lives with quick decisions on how to handle the deadly coronavirus, she also faced down Trump’s stormtroopers in Portland. When you looked at coronavirus deaths per 100,000 population, you will find that Oregon has been safer from the virus than most other states. The only states that are better have a much less population or the people are geographically widespread. It also helps to live on an island. Governor Brown acted early to shut down schools and control access to businesses in the state. Both decisions were unpopular at the time, but the success is in the death rate. Early use of masks helped as well as early social distancing. Brown, however, could not have succeded with her draconian policies without huge cooperation from Oregon citizens. I have seen few violaters of the mask policy in Coos County, even earlier this year. Our county has had some positive COVID-19 tests but no deaths, thanks to the self-discipline of our fellow citizens and Brown’s edicts. Governor Brown also stood up to Trump’s stormtroopers in Portland, saying she did not need them to resolve the conflicts there. She proved that the masked, armed and anonymous gang of DHS ruffians made the situation worse by their presence by quickly calming the situation down with negotiations once the pseudo-soldiers left. Now, we in Oregon have to continue fighting Trump’s virus by staying masked and staying

apart. Brown and other governors also have a big decision to make regarding opening schools. As a retired teacher I do not envy those who have to make that decision. One thing we must realize, though, is that such decisions will be local. As one state legislator said recently, “We cannot count on the feds to do anything in a timely fashion.” Ralph Mohr Coos Bay

Small businesses need COVID-19 liability protection COVID-19 has upended our lives in ways we never could have imagined. The impact of this public health crisis, and the related economic crisis, is also poised to last longer than any of us could have expected. And just as families along the south coast and across the state are struggling, we know that public and private sector employers have also been devastated by this pandemic. As businesses begin to reopen, they are implementing safety measures to comply with the state’s guidelines and rules to protect their employees, customers and communities. But even if they follow every detail of these regulations, that doesn’t mean the risk of someone contracting COVID-19 is zero. And that doesn’t mean these actions protect them from someone saying they didn’t go far enough or that they went too far, when they were simply following the state’s rules. Businesses, schools, local governments, nonprofits and other entities are still vulnerable to crippling and unfair lawsuits, even if they take every step possible to enact the health and safety requirements outlined by the state. Our communities along the South Coast are anchored by small businesses, many of which are family businesses that have served our communities for generations. These small businesses cannot afford to defend themselves from opportunistic lawsuits when they have done everything possible to follow the state’s guidelines and keep their workers and customers safe. Even a single lawsuit would cripple these businesses that are already struggling to keep their doors open. A coalition of over 50 business associations, schools, local governments and nonprofits has asked the Legislature to pass limited COVID-19 liability protections for entities that are following the state’s guidelines when they convene for the Aug. 10 special session. This is an issue that impacts Oregonians across the state and has bipartisan support from Legislators, public and private employers, school districts and other entities across Oregon’s 36 counties. We know businesses in our own communities are afraid to reopen their doors because the threat of costly lawsuits is so significant. We must protect these businesses, allowing them to safely get people back to work, restart our local economies and eventually return to the vibrant community we once were. Please join us in asking the Legislature to pass COVID-19 liability protection that is limited in scope and limited in duration when they convene in Salem on Aug. 10. Bettina Hannigan Florence

Marianna Catherine Mattecheck was born on June 21, 1932 in Tacoma, Washington to Clemens William and Marie Catherine Van Rooy. Marianna grew up on Tacoma, Washington with her parents and 3 older siblings, Buster, Betty Lou, and Bill. She attended Aquinas High School and went on to study music at Marylhurst College in Portland. There, she met the love of her life Robert “Bob” Mattecheck and they married on June 9, 1951. Bob was commissioned as an officer of the United States Marine Corps. The newlyweds traveled to where Bob was stationed; Quantico, VA, Jacksonville, NC, and San Diego, CA and settled in North Bend, OR in 1952 where they raised five children. She and Bob built the North Bend Lanes (now in

its 63rd year in business) in 1957. The two loved the life they shared together that was focused on their family, their business, golf, playing bridge, and traveling. A highly creative person, Marianna studied harp and music from age 12 and went on to study dance as she was involved in a troupe that toured and performed throughout the Northwest. Her artistry then shifted to the culinary world as she masterfully prepared gourmet meals. She could often be found gathering ideas from her travels, working out how to replicate restaurant meals, and pouring over cookbooks. Her family, friends and church congregates were the grateful recipients of her gastronomic savvy. In addition, she made all of the delicious, popular soups served at the Back Alley of North Bend Lanes. In addition to raising a family, running a business, and volunteering at church, Marianna was also active with the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) and helped raise scholarship money for young women. She made long and lasting friendships through her involvement with this group.

Marianna deeply loved her husband Bob of 65 years, her five children; Bill Mattecheck (Hiliary), Katy Thielen (Dave), Jim Mattecheck (Kristina), Mark Mattecheck (Angie) and Pam Knell (Leland); her 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandsons. She will be remembered for her kindness, cooking, stories and, for those near and dear, her lullabies. “I see the moon, the moon sees me, the moon sees the one I long to see. So God bless the moon, and God bless me, and God bless the one, I long to see…” A private family mass will be held on Friday, August 14, 2020.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren Upcoming move prompts best friend to reveal true feelings

DEAR ABBY: I have been in love with my best friend for two years. We met at a summer camp where we were both working, and we hated each other in the beginning. During the process of working together, we somehow became best friends, and I fell desperately in love with him. We talk on the phone for hours and text each other daily. He knows everything about me to the point that I swear he knows me better than I know myself. We hang out in groups mostly. We rarely spend time alone. When we are together, our chemistry is undeniable. We constantly laugh, touch, tease, etc. Everyone around us sees our connection, and they’re confused when we say we’re not dating. I kind of expressed my feelings to him about a year ago, but he said he wasn’t ready to date anyone. Since then, we have grown closer, and our relationship is more unclear. His actions lead me to believe that he feels the way I do and regards me as more than a friend, but he won’t make a move or tell me his feelings. The hard part about this is, I’m moving in five months. Our time together is coming to an end, but I haven’t told him how I feel because I don’t want his affection or our frequent communication to stop. Do I tell him my feelings again and risk being rejected? Or should I just tell him I am moving and see if he admits his true feelings for me? -- DEEP IN THE HEARTBREAK OF TEXAS DEAR DEEP: Obviously, this person cares for you to some degree. Tell him how you feel face-to-face while you still can. That you care so much for him is a compliment. However, if he still doesn’t feel as strongly for you as you hope, once you move, I hope you will regard it as an opportunity to meet new people and form new relationships until you find a special someone who reciprocates your feelings. Trust me, he IS out there. DEAR ABBY: I have read so many

letters in your column about families who have all sorts of problems with their children, husband or wife, in-laws, parents and other family members. They make me wonder how in the world I got so lucky. My husband and I raised four children -- two girls, two boys -- and they could not be more of a blessing. We text each other every morning, and I text a daughter in Hawaii at night to let her know I’m OK. They call, they send cards, they send flowers. One son sent them to me for several years on HIS birthday, with a card saying, “Thank you for having me.” My heart aches for parents who don’t have what I have. I can only hope they will find some peace later. And to my four children: Thank you for the happiness you have brought me over the years. -GEORGIA MOM DEAR GEORGIA MOM: Problems are the basis of my column. There are many functional, happy families, but few of them take the time to write and share that. Clearly, you are a great parent, and for that you deserve congratulations. However, there is an element of luck in parenting, and I have heard from parents who devoted themselves to giving all they could to their children, and their children did not turn out to be as loving, generous and appreciative as yours. I agree that your family is fortunate to recognize their blessings, chief among them each other. ---------------------------------------Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

OBITUARIES Robin Roberts Jenkins

Robin Roberts Jenkins, formerly of Coos Bay, passed away on July 31, 2020 in Clackamas, Oregon due to Alzheimer’s disease. Robin was born in 1942 in Monterey, CA to Alice Edsberg and David Roberts. She was raised on the Monterey Peninsula and in Venice, CA and she had a lifelong deep and abiding connection to the Pacific Ocean. Robin met her first husband Ronald McCreery at her job playing piano at the legendary Kalisa’s restaurant on Cannery Row. They married in 1961 and had two children, Robin and Andrew. Ronald’s military career took them to Germany, Hawaii and many stateside assignments. Robin was very proud of creating an arts program for children in the city of Sumter, SC. Robin later married Chester “Chet” Erskine and they had many adventures in the eastern High Sierras of California. They established the first inpatient drug and

alcohol treatment center in Bishop, CA in the 1970’s. In 1985, Chet bought the Sharon Leigh F/V. Robin, Chet and their daughter, Cheyanne moved to the Coos Bay area, settling on Roosevelt Blvd. in Charleston. Robin spent many years working for the State of Oregon in the Children’s services division. Her favorite job was as a foster parent certifier and educator. She made many lasting connections with the wonderful foster families in Coos County, and was proud of her work supporting their care of children in need. After retiring from her day job, Robin was able to return to her true avocation as a fine artist. She created in myriad mediums; oils, pastels, watercolors and mixed media. Her work was featured in exhibits and she loved to teach art. She was active in the Bay Area Artists Association and made friends with many local artists. In 2004 she married another artist, Edward “Ed” Jenkins. Robin and Ed inspired each other and so enjoyed time working in the studio together, traveling and keeping up on current events. Robin and Ed were enthusiastic supporters of President Barack Obama and one of her great delights was receiving a Christmas card from the Obama White House. Robin is survived by her children; Robin Mc-

Martin James Filkas Creery and partner Mary Morse, Andrew McCreery and spouse Denise, Cheyanne Erskine and spouse Chris Pfaller; her stepchildren from her marriage to Ed; Shawn Girsberger and Stacey Jenkins; her grandchildren, Tyler Black, Alice Stellar, Kate McCreery, David McCreery and Troona Pfaller; great grandchildren Emri, Wyatt and Raya. She was prededed by her sister, Bernice Layhee; her husband Chester Erskine and her husband Edward Jenkins. No services are planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Contributions in Robin’s memory may be directed to the Coos Art Museum, the Southern Poverty Law Center, or the Charleston Marine Life Center. Non-financial memorial activities could include planting a tree, picking up trash and appreciating a fine meal and a sunset. Robin’s circle of friends was large and joyful. She cherished her Wednesday coffee girls, Mary, Bonnie, Pat, Judy, Maria, Marcia and more; The Redwood Belles; Colleen, Irene, Zahara and Sue. Very special thanks are extended from Robin’s family to Shinan Barclay for making her last year at home a fun and creative one. And in the words of fellow Welshman Dylan Thomas: “Do not go gentle into that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

Marvin Lee Stemmerman July 13, 1932 – August 1, 2020

Marvin Lee Stemmerman, 88, of Coos Bay, passed away Saturday August 1, 2020 in North Bend. He was born up the river in Allegany, on July 13, 1932, to George and Jane Stemmerman. He was preceded in death by his brother and sister Leroy and Cleone. He traveled to school on the river boat “The Welcome” while attending Coos River School and then later Marshfield

High School and graduating in 1950. While being a “sleeper” at local fire halls, including Empire and Coos Bay, he met his wife Dolores “Dory” Laverne Caroland. They were married 49 years and had two children, Thomas and Virgil. Later in life he married Ruby Cossette. Marvin loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing trips with his family. In retirement, they enjoyed traveling in their RV across the country playing golf. While home he attended Shoreline Community Church, as well as later attending sporting events of his grandchildren. Prior to his death, Marvin spent most of his time driving up Coos River reminiscing about family history and his childhood

summers up the river. He is survived by his sons, Thomas (Sherry) Stemmerman, and Virgil (Melody) Stemmerman; grandchildren, Colby (Debbie) Stemmerman, Thomas (Rene) Stemmerman, Mindie (Richard) Wilson, Timothy (Jenny) Stemmerman, Corey Stemmerman; great grandchildren, Gage, Danner, Cody, Corbin; stepchildren, Mark (Teresa) Cossette, Deana (Smokey) Reynolds and their many children and grandchildren. A gathering of family will be held at a later date. Interment will be at Sunset Memorial Park. Arrangements are under the direction of Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary, 405 Elrod Ave., Coos Bay, Oregon 541267-4216.

Statewide enforcement finds businesses largely in compliance The World SALEM — One month after announcing that state inspectors would be conducting weekend spot checks in bars, restaurants, breweries, tasting rooms and other establishments that serve alcohol to enforce state face covering and physical distancing re-

quirements, Governor Kate Brown On Aug. 5 thanked Oregonians and the vast majority of business owners who have helped to slow the spread of COVID-19. “One month ago, at the beginning of the July 4th weekend, I told Oregonians that we stood at a crossroads: we could either stop the spread of COVID-19, or watch infections and

hospitalizations rise across Oregon, leading to the closure of businesses and counties again,” said Governor Brown. “We still have a long road ahead of us. Infections continue to rise. But I’d like to thank Oregonians, business owners, and local officials for stepping up to the plate to help make sure we are all wearing face coverings, keeping

our physical distance, and working together to keep our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and fellow Oregonians safe.” Since July 4, Oregon Liquor Control Commission inspectors have spot-checked over 3,600 licensed establishments. More than 93% have been found to be in compliance with physical distancing and face covering requirements. Of the small number found not to be in compliance, the vast majority took steps to implement corrective measures when given instructions by OLCC about how to achieve compliance. Only about 1% of spot-checked business were referred to Oregon OSHA for further investigation. Likewise, Oregon OSHA has fielded over 3,400 COVID-19 related complaints from the public and others about businesses and workplaces since the week of July 4 and found only a small number of businesses to be in violation of COVID-19 health and safety requirements. Since March, Oregon OSHA has conducted over 5,000 spot checks of busi-

nesses, initiated more than 60 inspections based on COVID-19 related complaints, and have found it necessary to issue 14 citations and five Red Warning Notices. Red Warning Notices apply to businesses that appear to be in willful violation of Oregon’s COVID-19 health and safety guidance or who refuse to take corrective measures. Such businesses are closed until the hazardous condition is remedied. Violation of a Red Warning Notice results in stiff penalties. OLCC inspectors have reported some business owners are continuing to choose not to follow health and safety requirements. For those businesses, OLCC has the ability to suspend licenses for failing

to follow face covering and physical distancing requirements. OLCC took action Aug. 4 and suspended the liquor license of a Rogue River bar and restaurant. Governor Brown added: “Let me be clear: businesses that do not follow the health and safety guidance established by the Oregon Health Authority are putting their employees, their customers, and their communities at risk, risking community-wide closures for other businesses as well if a COVID-19 outbreak starts to spread out of control.” OLCC will post regular inspection updates to its website on a rolling basis. Oregon OSHA COVID-19 workplace guidance and resources are available here.

The World

Amateur will have strong field at Bandon Dunes JOHN GUNTHER The World

BANDON — Many of the best golfers the world doesn’t yet necessarily know about yet are on the South Coast this week for the 120th U.S. Amateur Championship. Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser has several times said he considers the U.S. Amateur to be golf’s fifth major, behind the for professional majors. “It certainly was exciting for him to have this year,” said Jeff Simonds, the resort’s director of golf. Normally, the U.S. Amateur would have a field of 312 golfers. It has been cut to 264 this week, all chosen through exemptions. Because all the participants were chosen through exemptions — in a normal year some 7,000 would enter regional qualifying events to try to get in — it is arguably the strongest field ever for a U.S. Amateur, Simonds said. The players come from 36 states and 33 countries and range in age from 16-year-old Luke Potter to 66-yer-old Dave Ryan. The field features seven members of the 2019 U.S. Walker Cup team, including 2019 U.S. Amateur champion Andy Ogletree and runner-up John Augenstein. Ogletree is trying to become the first repeat champion since Tiger Woods won three straight from 1994 to 1996. There are 17 other golfers who have won USGA events coming to Bandon as well, including Scott Mitchell, who teamed with Todd Harvey to win the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship at Bandon Dunes last summer. Mitchell had to pull out of the event, but 13 others from last year’s tournament are here, including Stuart Hagestad, who also played on the Walker Cup team and has played in 10

U.S. Amateurs, and Blake Taylor, who reached the championship match last year. Though there are 36 states represented, Oregon isn’t one of them. Oregon State University is represented though, by Spencer Tibbets, who is from Washington and won the Oregon Amateur, as well tying for third in the Bandon Dunes Invitational college tournament held at the resort earlier this year and playing in last year’s U.S. Open (either others also were in that event). Tibbets will be in the first group off the tee Monday morning at Bandon Trails, teeing off at 7 a.m. with Marco Steyn of South Africa and Carl Didrick Meen Fosaas of Norway, both also college golfers in the United States. The champion of the Bandon Dunes Invitational also is in the tournament this week. Devon Bling of California won that tournament playing for UCLA and also was the runner-up in the 2018 U.S. Amateur, which allowed him to play in both the U.S. Open and the Masters in 2019. He made the cut in the Masters, finishing 55th. Twins Parker and Pierceson Coody of Plano, Texas, both reached the round of 16 in last year’s U.S. Amateur and are grandsons of 1971 Masters champion Charles Coody. They aren’t the only twins — 17-year-old David and Maxwell Ford of Peachtree Corners, Ga., also are here. On the other end of the age spectrum, Doug Hanzel of Savannah, Ga., has played in 36 USGA events, including 12 U.S. Amateurs — at least one in five different decades. He won the 2013 U.S. Senior Amateur and has twice been low amateur in the U.S. Senior Open. Sean Knapp, 55, of Oakmont, Pa., has played in 50 USGA cham-

pionships, including 15 U.S. Amateurs. Another set of brothers is Trent and Trevor Phillips of Boiling Springs, S.C. Half the field will be on Bandon Dunes on Monday and the other half on Bandon Trails. They will switch courses Tuesday and the top 64 from the two qualifying rounds will advance to the match play portion of the tournament, which runs through Sunday. All the matches will be played on Bandon Dunes, where the golfers likely will be challenged by the typical summer winds out of the north that give the course plenty of teeth even though at 7,200 yards, it’s shorter than both Pinehurst (7,600) and Pebble Beach (7,500), which hosted the past two U.S. Amateurs. “While the golf course is hard, it’s fair and doable,” Simonds said. “Even on a 25-mph wind day, we will still see some great scores and some high scores.” The best scores likely will come from players who adjust to the strategies of links golf the resort favors, including the ability to keep the ball low and run it up to the green on holes into the win. Simonds expects exceptional golf over the next several days, “As much of a downer it is that qualifying was canceled, the strength of the field is incredible,” he said.

OSAA From A1

The new OSAA calendar adopted by the Executive Board on Wednesday calls for the winter season for basketball, swimming and wrestling to start with the first practices on Dec. 28 and the first games on Jan. 11. The fall season, for football, soccer, volleyball and cross country, will have its first practices on Feb. 22 and the first contests on March 8 — March 15 for football. The spring season, for the traditional spring sports, will have its first practices on April 19 and first contests on May 3, wrapping up later than usual with the OSAA culmination week June 21-27. All sports also will have a reduced number of contests in the seven-week regular seasons compared to normal years. OSAA also set culmination week for activities including cheerleading (March 8-14), dance (April 12-18), speech (April 19-25), solo music (April 26-May 2), choir (May 3-9) and band/ orchestra (May 10-16). Two weeks ago, the Executive Board pushed back the start of the fall competition season until later in September, but it changed course Wednesday following last week’s announcement by Gov. Kate Brown of new metrics for reopening schools that will result in most schools in the state starting the year with distance learning. Weber noted that shifting the calendar to later in the year provides additional time for schools

to return to a hybrid or onsite learning format. The new OSAA association year will begin Aug. 31 with what the Executive Board is calling Season 1. Policies restricting out-ofseason coaching have been removed for that season, which will run until the start of the winter sports season, allowing schools, at the discretion of their local district, to participate in any OSAA-sanctioned activity permitted by the Governor’s Office, Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Education. That might include conditioning, practices and even competitions against other schools. “The big question now is what do you do between now and Dec. 28,” Forrester said. Some schools in the Midwestern League have already said they won’t allow any activities while they are still in a distance-learning mode, he said. Others are hoping they will be able to have some competitions. He’s hesitant to suggest North Bend will go that far. “I find it hard to believe we are going to have no kids in school and still have competitions,” Forrester said. The South Coast’s athletic directors are planning to meet Friday to have a conversation about what the first season might look like and how they might be able to work together. Weber said the first season provides flexibility around the state. “The (Executive) Board recognized that a one-sizefits-all approach isn’t what’s best for students across the

state,” he said. “By waiving policy to allow regional participation this fall, local school districts will have the discretion for participation in those areas that are able to do so safely per state directives.” The Executive Board’s decision at least provides some clarity by delaying the traditional fall season. In the spring, OSAA held out hope for several weeks for a possible spring sports season until the final decision to keep schools closed to inschool learning was made. Forrester sympathized with the Executive Board. “The OSAA is in a tough spot, because there are people that are going to think we ought to be playing right now and other people thinking that maybe we shouldn’t play at all this year,” he said. “I think what they did was make sure everybody has a season. It looks like they are even going to have some type of postseason.” The next step locally will be figuring out what the first season might look like, and then only if it can be done safely. “The last thing we want to do is put playing ahead of health,” Forrester said. “Right now, the biggest thing is I know our student athletes are chomping at the bit just to get out and play. When it says you are going to start on the 31st, if it’s not safe enough for us to have kids in school, is it safe enough for us to have practices?” The new OSAA calendar, as well as an OSAAtoday story about the Executive Board’s decision, can be seen at www.osaa.org.

US adds 1.8 million jobs in sign resurgence is weakening WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States added 1.8 million jobs in July, a pullback from the gains of May and June and evidence that the resurgent coronavirus has weakened hiring and the economic rebound. At any other time, hiring at that level would be seen as a blowout gain. But after employers shed a staggering 22 million jobs in March and April, much larger increases are needed to heal the job market. The hiring of the past three months has recovered only 42% of the jobs lost to the pandemic-induced recession, according to the

As amazing as it is for one resort to host so many USGA events, it’s also amazing that they all have been different, which ties Bandon Dunes with Homestead in Virginia for the most different USGA events held at one site. “This speaks about the ability of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort to provide a championship experience to so many different types of golfers,” Simonds said. “I don’t think there’s a USGA championship that couldn’t be hosted here.” Logistically, it’s unlikely Bandon Dunes could host the two biggest USGA events, the U.S. Open and the U.S. Women’s Open, because the entire South Coast likely doesn’t have the infrastructure including enough hotel rooms for all the fans those two events would likely draw. But the quality of the golf courses is not in question. Generally, the U.S. Amateur is only contested at golf courses that also would be fitting hosts for a U.S. Open. The collection of events Bandon Dunes has hosted is impressive. The first was the 2006 Curtis Cup, an international event that is the amateur women’s version of the Ryder Cup. The second was the 2007 U.S. Mid-Amateur which Keiser considers one of the premier amateur events because it is for golfers who remain amateurs after college, rather than turning professional.

Labor Department’s jobs report released Friday. And now, with much of the nation having paused or reversed plans to restore economic activity, many employers are still reluctant or unable to hire and consumers remain generally hesitant to shop, travel or eat out. Until the health crisis is solved through a vaccine or an effective treatment, most experts say the economy will struggle to sustain any recovery. Though the unemployment rate fell last month from 11.1% to 10.2%, that level still exceeds the highest rate during the 2008-

In 2011, Bandon Dunes hosted the U.S. Amateur Public Links and Women’s Amateur Public Links at the same time, becoming the first facility to host two USGA tournaments of that size at the same time (Pinehurst hosted the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open in backto-back weeks in 2014). Bandon Dunes got to be the first host of the U.S. Women’s Amateur FourBall Championship when it was held for the first time in 2015. And last year, the resort showed its flexibility when it hosted the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball with only a year of preparation after Chambers Bay in Washington had to put off when it was going to host the event. Just that Bandon Dunes has partnered with USGA so often shows Keiser’s passion for the amateur game and fondness for the organization, Simonds said. “It doesn’t make financial sense … giving up the golf course in August,” Simonds said. “That’s what’s amazing about Mike. He doesn’t do it for notoriety. He does it because he loves the game of golf and USGA upholds the traditions and standards of golf.” Simonds and others at the resort have been planning for this week since 2015, when the tournament was announced during the Women’s Four-Ball. “We’ve been excited for a little more than five years,” Simonds said. “We didn’t quite imagine this.” Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Amateur is unlike any other tournaments the resort has hosted.

2009 Great Recession. “The progress is encouraging, but let’s not lose sight of where we currently are,” said Nick Bunker, economic research director at the jobs website Indeed. “By both the unemployment rate and the cumulative hit to employment, the current labor market crisis is worse than the Great Recession.” The jobs report emerged as new infections run at about 55,000 a day. While that’s down from a peak of well over 70,000 in the second half of July, cases are rising in about half of the states, and deaths are climbing in

with mass vaccinations planned as early as October using shots that are yet to complete clinical trials. Moscow sees a propaganda victory, but scientists worldwide say the rush could backfire if the vaccine is neither effective nor safe. Evidence suggests that the pandemic’s damage to the economy will take longer to mend than was envisioned in the spring. Back then, the widespread hope was that temporarily shutting down the economy would defeat the virus, after which businesses could quickly reopen and call back their laid-off workers.

The USGA tee marker shows the yardage for the 10th hole at Bandon Dunes, which hosts the U.S. Amateur starting Monday. “It’s changed every phase of the championship,” Simonds said. To create as safe an atmosphere as possible, access to the tournament will be limited. All people involved in the event — from the golfers to the caddies to the USGA officials to the resort employees to the media — have to twice test negative for coronavirus to be included in the tournament bubble (the same goes for the resort’s hospitality and agronomy staff helping this week. The participants are limited to two guests each, including a caddie if they choose to have one. The resort had more than 700 volunteers lined up and had to turn them all away. USGA typically would send a staff of 125 to run a championship of this stature and instead has just 50. To learn more about the safety measures put in place

many of them. In other virus-related developments Friday: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that schools can bring children back to classrooms for the start of the school year, citing success in battling the virus in the state that once was the U.S. heart of the pandemic. The decision clears the way for schools to offer at least some days of in-person classes, alongside remote learning. Students will be required to wear masks. Russia boasted that it’s about to become the first country to approve a COVID-19 vaccine,

this week, see read a story that will be included in Tuesday’s edition of The World. Perhaps the biggest disappointment to the changes for Simonds is that the event won’t be as big a natural promotion for the South Coast as resort officials had envisioned. Originally, the resort only planned to allow USGA officials to stay on site during the event, with what would have been 312 players (the field was reduced to 264) having to find lodging in area hotels. Now those players are limited to the resort and three specific motels for where they can stay. “Our goal was to really light up the South Coast and work with the tourism groups,” Simonds said. “Obviously, when COVID hit in March, that took all that out of the equation.” But resort officials came up with another way for

the event to have a positive impact. Working with the Oregon Golf Association, they put together a package specifically for people who had planned to come as volunteers to be able to play any of the resort’s three courses not used during the event at a special rate — and some 3,000 rounds were booked for next week at those courses, Simonds said. Those people won’t be staying at the resort and many will be dining and shopping on the South Coast. “We still wanted there to be a net gain for the community,” Simonds said. “And it’s a way to thank the volunteers who were planning to come. “We hope to (still) promote how great the South Coast is.” For Simonds and the rest of the planning staff, this week has been a long

time coming. There are no other USGA events currently scheduled for the resort, though most of USGA’s championships are only scheduled a few years in advance (the big ones including the Amateur, the U.S. Open and Women’s Open and the international events the big exceptions). And amazingly, the Amateur is only the second USGA event that will use the Bandon Dunes layout — Bandon Trails, Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald have all been used for at least three either during the qualifying rounds or the match play rounds. After five years of planning, Simonds can’t wait. “Bandon Dunes is my favorite course,” he said. “I can’t wait to see how the world’s best amateurs play it.” Keep up with the tournament Though South Coast residents won’t be allowed to come out to watch the tournament this week, they still can follow it with daily television coverage after the match play portion begins Wednesday. On Wednesday through Friday, an hour of coverage will be shown on NBC’s new Peacock Network, a free online service, starting at 3 p.m. before two hours of live coverage on the Golf Channel from 4 to 6 p.m. The Golf Channel also will air coverage of the semifinals and championship match from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

CORVALLIS — A new study from Oregon State University found that 77% of low- to moderate-income American households fall below the asset poverty threshold, meaning that if their income were cut off they would not have the financial assets to maintain at least poverty-level status for three months. The study compared asset poverty rates in the U.S. and Canada. Canada’s asset poverty rate has improved over the past 20 years while the U.S. rate has worsened, but still, 62% of lowto moderate-income Canadians also fall below the asset poverty threshold. The implications of these findings have become starkly apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, said David Rothwell, lead author on the study and an associate professor in OSU’s

Bandon police seek man who threw scalding coffee at drive-through owner Incident reported Thursday at Tin Cup Coffee Bandon Western World BANDON — At 6 a.m. Thursday morning, Aug. 6, a man in an Isuzu Trooper ordered coffee from the owner of Tin Cup Coffee drive-through in Bandon, located in a corner of the Bandon Shopping Center. He reportedly asked owner Isabelle Johnson to remove her mask, which she politely

declined to do. He then complained his coffee wasn’t hot enough and asked to have it microwaved, according to the victim’s mother, Billie Thomas. After handing it back to him, he allegedly suddenly threw the scalding coffee at Johnson through the open window while screaming and cursing at her. Johnson was not injured. The Bandon Police Department responded to the call and are actively seeking the man for the attempted assault. He was seen by others on a dead-

end street trying to get back onto U.S. Highway 101. He then went through the Human Bean drivethrough in Bandon and proudly announced what he had just done. Bandon police again responded and are actively looking for the man. The Isuzu is gold or tan in color with a dent on the rear passenger side. Plates, believed to be from Washington, are PLS 125. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bandon Police Department, 541-3472241.

College of Public Health and Human Sciences. “The fact that the U.S. safety net is so connected to work, and then you have this huge shock to employment, you have a system that’s not prepared to handle such a big change to the employment system … It results concretely in family stress and strain, and then that strain and stress relates to negative outcomes for children and families,” Rothwell said. The study, published last week in the journal Social Policy Administration, looked at financial assets such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, rather than real assets like houses and property, because financial assets are easier to cash in and use in an emergency. Existing research has found that U.S. wealth inequality is more pronounced that income inequality. Researchers used data from nationally representative financial surveys in Canada and the U.S. from 1998 through 2016, looking at low- to moderate-income households, defined as those in the bottom 50% of income distribution in each country, headed by working age adults age 25-54.

Canada, were investigating how asset poverty changed over time in the two countries and how that change was affected by changes in transfer share — the portion of household income that comes from government assistance. They chose the U.S. and Canada because of their close geographic proximity and similar legal traditions but significantly different welfare policies. In 1998, Canada’s asset poverty rate among low- to moderate-income households was 74%, compared with 67% in the U.S. The two rates were nearly identical in 2005, then Canada’s kept falling and the U.S. rate kept rising, arriving at 62% and 77% in 2016. Canada spends twice what the U.S. does on financial assistance for families, and much of it is spent in cash benefits, rather than in-kind benefits like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP, formerly food stamps) in the U.S. In 2016, 96% of low- to moderate-income Canadian households received some transfer income from the government. In the U.S., that number was 41%. For the most part, results showed that more generous welfare policies were associated with greater rates of asset poverty in Canada, Rothwell said. There, as the government reduced the amount of public assistance families received as a proportion of their income

over time, asset poverty improved. However, he said, this relationship between welfare generosity and asset poverty should be interpreted as correlational, not causal, and the topic warrants further study. Because the levels of public assistance are greater in Canada than the U.S., it’s hard to extend results from one country to the other, but when controlling for demographic characteristics, researchers found that decreasing transfer share has no impact on the risk of asset poverty in the U.S. “What stands out there is, so few American families receive any type of transfers at all, compared to other countries, and small adjustments to an already minimal safety net was not related to asset poverty in this study,” Rothwell said. In contrast, Canadian families receive a child benefit, a monthly cash payment of several hundred dollars to help with the cost of raising a child. Many safety net programs, including Medicaid and SNAP, also disincentivize saving because they impose asset limits on people seeking assistance. Rothwell calls these a “poverty trap.” “If you have someone who’s low-income and they are working hard trying to save money but you’re telling them that they’re going to lose benefits if they save over some given threshold, that’s a disincentive to accumulate

SATURDAY, AUG. 8, 2020

Observe others, and make safe decisions regarding your health, finances and personal life. A wrong move will set you back a long way, making it crucial that you don't make impulsive decisions or let someone act on your behalf. Let your intuition and your conscience be your guide.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- A lifestyle change isn't likely to sit well with those you live with or near. Get approval before you start a new project. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Consider your options and how you can mix work with pleasure and come out on top. Make decisions and adjustments based on your needs. Someone's motives will not be genuine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Find an outlet that encourages fitness. A mental or physical competition will lift your spirits and give you the boost you need to make a personal adjustment. Romance is favored.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Aim to please, but not at the expense of losing sight of your goals. Someone will ask for too much or try to coerce you into something you shouldn't do. Be on guard.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Learn from experience, and you'll recognize who you can rely on. A move will remind you of the pastimes and people who make you happy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Concentrate on what matters to you, and make a point to gather information that can help you make the necessary adjustments to protect you from costly setbacks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Distance yourself from those putting demands on you. Share your feelings and intentions with someone who makes your heart skip a beat. Avoid impulsive expenditures and premature moves. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Make sure you choose words that express precisely what you mean or how you feel. You may desire change, but before you jump from one thing to another, find out exactly what's entailed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Plan the changes you want to make, set a budget and stick to it. An impulsive purchase will lead to unnecessary worry. Moderation, discipline and

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Once you have everything in place, you can show off what you've accomplished. A personal adjustment will give you the confidence to enforce additional change. One step at a time will lead to success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your quick wit and insight into something that interests you will encourage others to jump on board and support your efforts. Follow the rules and regulations.

If East ruffs, declarer pitches a diamond loser and must collect another trump winner. Effectively, East has to ruff one of his partner's diamond tricks. South generates an extra trump trick with a coup en passant.

Timbers reach MLS is Back tourney final LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jeremy Ebobisse and Sebastian Blanco each scored and the Portland Timbers earned a spot in the MLS is Back championship game with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night. The Timbers will face Orlando City, which beat Minnesota United 3-1 Thursday, in the title match on Tuesday. The tourna-

ment winner earns a spot in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League. “It’s a great feeling. We came here with one goal, and that was to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament,” Ebobisse said. “And now we’re one game away. All the work that we’ve put in, and all of the sacrifice that we’ve put in, is all starting to pay off. We’ve got 90 more minutes.”

Down two goals, Philadelphia closed the gap on Andrew Wooten’s goal in the 85th minute. It appeared the Union pulled even on Kacper Przybylko’s goal a minute later, but it was ruled offside. “In the end, I think we deserved this win because I think that we made it very difficult,” Timbers coach Giovanni Savarese said. “And we had two good goals to now move on to the final,

but it’s credit to the guys for the hard work that they put today.” Philadelphia goalkeeper Andre Blake dove to push away Blanco’s early attempt in the 10th minute but some three minutes later Ebobisse’s header off Diego Valeri’s corner kick gave Portland the early lead. The Union, who had not previously trailed in the tournament, had a chance to pull even in first-

half stoppage time when Blanco fouled Jamiro Monteiro. Sergio Santos’ penalty kick went over the bar and two the right. In Orlando City’s win Thursday, Nani scored a pair of firsthalf goals and the Lions held on. Minnesota pulled within 2-1 in the 83rd minute on a goal by Mason Toye, but Benji Michel scored for the Lions late in stoppage time.

Lillar leads Blazers to another victory LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Damian Lillard wasn’t off to a great shooting start inside the NBA’s so-called bubble. If it was a slump, it seems to be over now. Lillard tied his franchise record with 11 3-pointers and scored 45 points, and the Portland Trail Blazers moved closer to the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference by beating the Denver Nuggets 125-115 on Thursday night. Lillard was 11 for 18 from 3-point range, plus had 12 assists for Portland. The Blazers (32-38) closed to within a half-game of Memphis in the race for eighth in the West, where a play-in series for the last playoff berth -- and the right to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round -- now seems almost certain. “We haven’t been playing games, a lot of live action, and it just takes time,” said Lillard, who was 10 for 30 on 3’s in Portland’s first three games at Walt Disney World. “But it felt good. I knew eventually it would click.” Gary Trent Jr. had 27 off the bench and Jusuf Nurkic scored 22 for Portland. Michael Porter Jr. scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Denver (45-24), which remained in the West’s No. 3 spot. The Nuggets played most of the fourth quarter with reserves on the floor, limiting Nikola Jokic to 24 minutes. “I thought our sec-

ond-half effort was tremendous,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “I thought our guys competed. ... (Portland was) playing for their playoff lives with all their starters in, we’ve got guys who haven’t played a lot of minutes in the NBA and we’re giving them all they can handle.” Jokic finished with eight points, five rebounds and 13 assists. Jerami Grant scored 18 for Denver, which — even with the reserve lineup — got within six on a 3-pointer by PJ Dozier with 1:16 left. But Nurkic got free for a dunk, Denver threw the ball away on the ensuing possession and Portland would hang on from there. Lillard is the second player to have multiple games with at least 10 3-pointers this season, Houston’s James Harden being the other. Lillard had 11 3’s against Golden State on Jan. 20, the night he scored an NBA season-high 61 points. “Obviously, he had an outstanding game scoring the ball, assists ... but more than anything else, his leadership tonight, his will to win was palpable,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said of Lillard. “You could just feel it, how important this was to him.” Next up for Portland are back-to-back games this weekend, starting against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday followed by the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

Tuba’s tunes provide neighborhood joy JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — It’s 8 p.m. and the sound of a tuba rings out from the front steps at Ralph Mohr’s house on Ferguson Avenue. This particular night is a Thursday, but it could be any night — for more than 100 days in a row save one when Mohr was out of town. Neighbors come out into the street or onto their own porches to listen. What started on April 21 when Mohr played “Taps” as a tribute to victims of the coronavirus has continued as the death toll from the pandemic has mounted. “It started with a disgust of how the coronavirus was being handled and all the people dying in April,” Mohr said. But while “Taps” is generally a somber tune, the nightly tradition has grown into much more. Each evening, Mohr plays another song before closing with “Taps.” On this Thursday it was “Simple Gifts,” but on other nights it has been a variety of tunes ranging from children’s songs — two kids across the street come out with their mom nearly every night — to classic patriotic tunes — his first song was “America the Beautiful” — to “Happy Birthday.” Some are chosen by request of the various neighbors, which is how “Mary Had a Little Lamb” joined the collection of 15 or 20 songs Mohr has played. As Mohr’s tuba projected the sounds of “Simple Gifts,” neighbor Eva Reese sang along. “I come out every night,” said Eva, who stood with her husband, Jeff. “I love to sing with whatever he is playing.” What Mohr didn’t know was how special that tune, played for the first time, was to his neighbors. “I sang it at my father’s funeral,” Eva said. Mohr originally planned to play at Sunset every night, but as the summer days got longer and he realized neighboring children go to bed before Sunset, he settled on 8 p.m. “I think it’s a wonderful thing,” Eva said. “It marks the day and makes this time special instead of dreadful. It gets neighbors out of their houses. It feels

Ralph Mohr plays a tune on his tuba outside his Coos Bay home on a recent evening. He has made playing various songs and “Taps” a nightly tradition in the neighborhood. neighborly.” Indeed, it’s not uncommon for neighbors to clap at the end of the nightly tunes or to vocally thank Mohr for his playing. Like Eva, he likes that it helps foster community spirit. “I consider it any more part of the neighborhood,” he said. Before April, Mohr hadn’t played his tuba in about two decades. He purchased this particular instrument, a Besson tuba, when he was in community college in California in 1965 for $710, which was a lot of money back then (the specific brand costs more than twice that much today). He likes the model because the bell of the instrument projects the sound outward instead of up. And following college, he played in community bands, including at Southwestern Oregon Community College under the direction of Frank Leuck and Bob Gillette. Please see Tuba, Page C7

The World

This week in Coos County history: July 28-August 1 100 YEARS — 1920 Coos Bay has 9000 people Various cities and suburbs total that number Interests are the same and almost one community, although under separate cities The populations of the various cities as given by the census bureau do not give a fair idea of the number of people on Coos Bay. Marshfield, North Bend, Eastside and Empire are all on the bay, and their combined populations make a total of 7935. As suburbs of Marshfield, there is Englewood and Bunker Hill and other outlying districts, and Flagstaff and Millington, which are tributary. North Bend also has suburban surroundings which are not included in the populations of the cities, so there is safely another thousand in population on the bay which does not show on the census. Thus it may fairly be said that there are at least 9000 people on Coos Bay whose interests are almost identical, and who transact business together, although in the census figures classed as different cities.

Big Seaplanes to stop here Navy to make an inspection of coast harbors Six of the machines are expected to visit Coos Bay on trip from Seattle south Six big navy seaplanes of the F5L type will visit Coos Bay some time this month, according to the tentative program. These planes make up a squadron which will fly from San Francisco to Seattle and on the return trip will stop at the Oregon ports for inspection. Twelve planes will go from San Diego to San Francisco and there they will be divided into two fleets, one going south and one north to Seattle. It is estimated that the northern fleet will reach Coos Bay about Aug. 23 to 25. The purpose to visit the Oregon ports and Coos Bay is believed to be included in the program. The fleet will be re-fueled by the U.S.S. Aroostook and the destroyer Mugsford, which will accompany them. The planes will fly off land a distance from one to ten miles and will lay their course from cape to cape, and will probably pass close in to Cape Blanco and Cape Arago. They should be seen here going north about Aug. 20.

Want 2 barges built on bay Peterson Launch Co. of San Francisco submit matter Had two similar built at Kruse & Banks yards a few years ago Ed Wieder, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Wieder of Marshfield and for the last few years with the Peterson Launch & Boat Co. of San Francisco, arrived here yesterday to confer with Kruse & Banks relative to the construction of two barges for the company. Kruse & Banks built a couple of large barges for the Peterson company several years ago and they are considered among the best in operation on San Francisco bay. Mr. Wieder said that Kruse & Banks have a high reputation there. The Peterson Co. does a large amount of barging and towing on San Francisco bay.

New machinery for veneer plant Will double output of the local concern Equipment arrives for Coos Veneer and Box company — will increase workforce

New machinery for the plant of the Coos Veneer and Box company arrived on the City of Topeka yesterday and will be installed in about thirty days. The machinery consists of lathe, clipper, grinder and other equipment and practically duplicates the machinery now in use although being of a different make. The addition will double the capacity of the plant. There is plenty of room in the buildings fro the equipment, as the plant was originally built with the intentions of making these enlargements. When the machinery is in place it will give work to an additional force. About 50 persons are now employed at the plant and from 20 to 30 more will be needed to handle the added equipment.

Young man passing bad checks sought Operated at Myrtle Point and got away with almost 800 — officers after the offender Details of passing of bad checks are told as follows in the Myrtle Point American: A young man signing the name of Ed. Sink issued checks to the amount of between $50 and $60 against the Bank of Myrtle Point last Saturday, though he had no funds deposited there. When the checks began to show up, the officers were put on the trail of the young man. He was last heard of at Marshfield, but when the officers arrived he had disappeared and as near as could be learned he had bought a ticket for Salem. Sheriff Gage got in communication with the officers at Salem and other points north, but up to this time the young fellow has not been apprehended. One of the last victims was the Baxter hotel at Coquille where he cashed a check just previous to his departure. The officers still think there is a good chance for Sink’s apprehension, and it is expected that he will be shortly returned for trial.

Menasha Co. to build big plant Construction is to be started in short time Herbert Amstrong goes to San Francisco regarding water front right of way Herbert Armstrong, local manager for the Menasha Woodenware company, left last night for San Francisco in connection with the matter of securing a right of way across the railroad land to reach the tract which the company recently bought for a factory site from the Simpson Estate company. It is expected that as soon as the right of way is secured and the property matters straightened out the company will begin the erection of the plant. It is said to be the plan to use the waste lumber from all of the mills. The company will use pieces as small as 13 inches long and three inches thick. Trucks will be used to haul the wood from the mills. It is said that about 50 men will be employed for construction work at the start, but that when the plant is finished it may employ 700 men. The company has its market, but it is simply a matter of shifting much of the operation from Wisconsin to the Pacific coast.

50 YEARS — 1970 Next CB phase is under way Work is scheduled to begin today on the second phase of the Coos Bay city center revitalization program. Official approval of a construction contract to Johnson Rock Products, Inc., came this morning from U.S. Development of Housing and Urban

Development. “This is the next step in the City Center Tomorrow program,” said Mayor Bill Morin. “We’re taking this step now and are planning the next one as well.” Construction plans call first for placing utilities underground and making street improvements on Fourth Street between Commercial and Anderson avenues, Morin explained. Work will be done two blocks at a time, he said.

Athletics get 23 hits, but lose game, 20-15 Northwest League record books are filledwith such eye-popping statistics that the 35 runs scored at North Bend Municipal Tuesday night represented only a lukewarm merry-go-round by comparison. For instance, on one May evening in 1956, Yakima and Spokane got together for a 40-run blitz — and that was for a mere nine innings. The marathon at Municipal went 13 innings for a second straight night and this time the 13th proved unlucky for Coos Bay-North Bend. Tri-City trailed 9-1 after six frames but rallied for 14 runs in the last three regulation innings nd then tallied five in the 13th to defeat the Athletics, 20-15. While all that scoring might not hold a candle to the thrillers of yesteryear, it nevertheless represented a league high for this season — paling into insignificance such run-fests as Walla Walla’s recent 16-15 victory over Lewiston in 11 innings.

Purpose of council explained by Freeman Purpose of the Coos-Curry Council of Governments (CCCOG) is to “give the government back to the people by involving htem in planning decisions that affect them,” CCCOG planner Frank Freeman told members of the Bay Area Environmental Committee this week. Freeman and CCCOG Chairman Bob Mason of Coquille appeared before the environmental committee to explain the function of CCCOG and current activities. Mason, who started the discussion, said “CCCOG is a separate agency not under control of any state or federal agency, existing mainly as a regional planning authority, based upon a principle of equality of membership.” The present membership is made up of cities in Coos and Curry counties, county governments, and port bodies of the two counties, he said. He said CCCOG is essentially an organization where local government bodies can work on regional problems and coordinate efforts to solve them.

New D-8 superintendent getting to know district COQUILLE — “Taking over a school district is a difficult job — right now I’m simply attempting to meet problems when and where they arise,” said newly appointed District 8 Superintendent of Schools Alfred Johnson in an interview this week at his Coquille office. “At present I’m largely concerned with getting to know the district, its people, their attitudes and the educational resources available to educate the district’s children,” added Johnson. Explaining his task, Johnson said school districts are very much like individuals — “distinctly different,” adding “what the educational situation is in the Coquille Valley may be distinctly different from what it is in, say, Portland, Roseburg or Baker.” A native of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, Johnson came to the D-8 job after seven

years as superintendent of the Port Orford School District. Prior to becoming superintendent there, he was an elementary school principal in Port Orford.

20 YEARS — 2000 North Bend teen wins state title Jessica Wolfram, 15, the daughter of Linda and Jerry Wolfram of North Bend, has been named Miss Oregon American Junior Teen. Jessica won the honor after competitions in the state pageant, which was open to girls ages 3 to 20 from Oregon and gave girls an opportunity to meet new friends and to perform on stage in front of an audience, developing poise and self-confidence. Contestants selected to compete in the state pageant are involved in their schools, communities, and/or churches. Jessica and other junior teen contestants were judged in interview, personal introduction and poise and performance. In addition to her official crown, banner and trophy and flowers, Jessica received a $500 scholarship award as well as a $300 travel package to Florida in November to compete in the National Pageant. She will also spend a day at Disney World with other state queens from around the country. Another North Bend contestant, Bryttney Johnson, was first runner-up in the talent competition.

Bay Area gets fourth at regionals Babe Ruth: Local team finishes with 2-2 record at big tournament From Staff Reports The Bay Area Americans finished a run better than anyone can remember for a 13to 15-year-old area All-Star team. After winning a state tournament in North Bend, the squad traveled north to participate in the nine-team Pacific Northwest Regional Tournament in Poulsbo, Wash. Bay Area was off to a good start with an opening-round win, but dropped its next game and split two to take home fourth place overall. Despite leaving the tournament on a loss, the accomplishments of a team made up entirely of North Bend players was not overlooked.

Tanker spews gas near Scottsburg A truck crash on State Highway 38 near Wells Creek Monday resulted in the spill of about 2,000 gallons of premium unleaded gasoline and closed the highway for nearly 10 hours. The Oregon Department of Transportation closed the highway at about 5 p.m. According to the Oregon State Police, ODOT closed the west-bound lanes at Elkton and the east-bound highway at Reedsport after a log truck crossed the center line and sideswiped a double-trailer tanker truck about twoand-a-half miles east of the Scottsburg Bridge. The crash ruptured the tank truck’s second trailer, and the gasoline spilled from the tank into a ditch. ODOT crews from Reedsport and Yoncalla responded as did Oregon State Police, Reedsport Police, Elkton Fire Department, Scottsburg Fire Department and ODOT HazMat crews. These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.

The World

Treasure Hunt prize found The World The search is over in the Coos County Treasure Hunt. Michelle Lee of Charleston found the treasure over the weekend and earned the $500 prize. “I’m so excited,” Lee said. “It’s been the joy of my life.” Lee and her husband, Robert, followed along with the clues, at one point looking for broken bridges in the Coquille area before narrowing their search to John Topits Park. “There for a while, we were really overthinking it,” she said, adding that the couple followed the clues for the past several weeks. “This brought us back to Empire Lakes again, but we were not sure what we were looking for.” “We looked for a couple days. I was at work and my husband called me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s in a stump between the trail and the water.’ “We pulled in. It was like 11 a.m. on Saturday and there was nobody there. He was at pole No. 22 and I was at Pole No. 24. We called each other and just kept talking as we went.” Lee said she saw a lot of wildlife while searching

John Gunther, The World

Michelle Lee of Charleston found the hidden prize in the South Coast Treasure Hunt while searching with her husband last weekend. for the stump, including a squirrel that ran over her foot “It was a woodsy experience,” she said. “I was shocked. I saw this hole in the stump. I saw something

shiny. I thought I would put my hand in there.” The discovery ended a happy venture over the past few weeks. “It was so much fun,” Lee said.

Tuba From B1

Starting back up wasn’t easy, as any former brass instrument player knows. “It’s taken a while to get

the lips back,” he said. But now he warms up for a few minutes in the house and then moves out to a nook at the top of the steps, where he has a music stand set up with that night’s selection and a chair to sit on.

And the music rings out. “I chose (the nook) because of the sound quality,” Mohr said. “They can here it down on Anderson.” And they enjoy it up and down the street. “Ralph is delightful,” Eva Reese said.
