Ginsburg death puts abortion on ballot (AP) - It’s been a throwaway line in presidential campaigns for years: Roe v. Wade is on the ballot. This time it is very real. The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg so close to a presidential election and the vacancy it creates on the Supreme Court, coupled with President Donald Trump’s political imperative to energize social conservatives in key states, urgently provided a new frame for Trump’s case for a second term. And it has animated supporters of abortion rights at least as much.

If Trump is able to install his nominee in that seat, both sides agree there’s a better chance than ever that Roe v. Wade — the 1973 decision established a nationwide right to abortion — could be overturned or gutted. “We have been apprehensive for years, but this is more worrisome — this is a seismic shift,” said Jennifer Dalven, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Reproductive Freedom Project. During his 2016 campaign, Trump, who had previously expressed unqualified support

for abortion rights, won over skeptical anti-abortion leaders with multiple pledges to combat abortion, including choosing Supreme Court justices open to dismantling Roe v. Wade. Now, with Trump hoping to fill a vacancy for the third time and give the nine-member court six conservative justices, that pledge has new import. “It is at least conceivable for the first time that we have a majority that would overturn Roe, and the battle would return to the states,” said Andrew Bath, executive vice president of the

Thomas More Society, a conservative public interest law firm. It remains uncertain if the Senate will hold a confirmation vote before the Nov. 3 election, and how it would respond if Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden before the vacancy is filled. But Trump has urged the Senate to move quickly, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said there will be a vote on Trump’s nominee. If a Trump nominee is confirmed and a reconfigured high court did eventually overturn Roe, the likely outcome would

be a patchwork of laws in various states. Some states would protect abortion access, others would enact near-total bans, and many would struggle over what new limits they might impose. Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, says that if Roe were dismantled, sweeping bans could be imposed in 20 states that are home to an estimated 25 million women of reproductive age. The high court has plenty of options if it wants to reexamine Roe. Planned Parenthood’s

Cleanup nets garbage, ‘nurdles’ AMY MOSS STRONG The World

BANDON — Volunteers in Bandon picked up approximately 300 pounds of trash along Bandon beaches from Seven Devils Wayside north to the China Creek Beach south of town Saturday morning. And that was just in the Bandon area. The SOLVE Beach & Riverside Cleanups is part of a statewide volunteer event that has occurred each fall and spring since 1984 that includes beach cleanups, inland cleanups and habitat restoration events, all in an effort to keep Oregon’s watershed clean and healthy. Other events Saturday were held at Sunset Bay Beach, Bastendorff Beach and Horsfall Beach. In Bandon, the event was organized by Shoreline Education for Awareness volunteers, with Mary Garrett as the SOLVE site captain. Garrett said notable items gathered by volunteers included seven large chunks of Styrofoam (that likely broke loose from docks along the Coquille River), four large pieces of plastic and a post from the snowy plover protected area near China Creek. “There were a lot of smaller items (including) plastic bottle caps, toys, micro plastics, beer

Bailey said they found large styrofoam blocks, plastic and glass bottles and a lot of face masks, among other items. bottles and soda cans and plastic bottles,” Garrett said.

Fifty people attended the event, with approximately 80%

— they belong to her four kids. They’re all students in the North Bend School District, three with Individual Education Plans and all with a need to keep learning into the new school year. “We have to have that all mapped out so we know where our holes are,” Huit said. Huit’s whiteboard shows a clear picture of the challenges that the family is up against this fall, wrapping the roles of parent

and teacher into one and bringing the classroom into the home. It’s a process that’s even more complex for families like Huit’s, which is one of the about 15% of North Bend School District families who have students with disabilities, according to the Oregon Department of Education. For now, both the North Bend and Coos Bay School Districts are largely limited to using distance or online instruction, with

locals and 20% visitors to Bandon, Garrett estimated. Garrett is past-president of SEA, a nonprofit organization that works to improve stewardship of the coastal areas by increasing awareness of the shoreline habitat and wildlife along the Oregon Coast. Her husband Steve is current president. Several other SEA volunteers also helped with the event. More information about SEA can be found at www.sea-edu. org and volunteers are always welcome. “I really believe in keeping our planet clean for our children and grandchildren,” SEA volunteer Dorothy Thrashing said. “Plus I need to work out some angst and sadness with the passing of RGB (Ruth Bader Ginsburg).” Arlene Esqueda was helping with sign-ups, then headed out to pick up trash. Esqueda said she takes a sieve with her to strain the sand, where she finds various small plastic items, cigarette butts and, most notably, “nurdles,” which are not much bigger than the head of a pin and come in all colors. Despite their novelty, nurdles can be dangerous to birds and fish and humans who consume those animals. Nurdle is the colloquial name for pre-production plastic pellets. Please see Cleanup, Page A8

The Coos County Noxious Weed Board presents:

Weed of the Month Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) ID Tips:

Once considered Western Oregon's most economically serious noxious weed, biological controls (a seed head fly, a flea beetle and a moth) have reduced the severity of outbreaks below economic threshold levels.

Generally a biennial or short-lived perennial; blooming midsummer to fall. Leaves dark green, deeply lobed. First year leaves in a basal clump (rosette). Second year leaves are alternate along the stem. Stems reach up to 4 feet tall, numbering one to many from roots. Flowerheads are in somewhat flat-topped clusters, yellow and daisylike in appearance. Plants spread primarily by seed. Seed bank can remain viable in the soil for 15 years.

REPORT WEEDS at OregonInvasivesHotline.org Contact: Coos Watershed Association (541) 888-5922 x309 Or: Coquille Watershed Association (541) 396-2541

The leaves are toxic to cattle and horses, causing irreversible liver damage. Sheep appear to be unaffected by ragwort's toxicity

Public Health will continue to keep the public informed with all the information they can in order to keep its citizens safe.

Mussel harvesting closed from Two new COVID-19 cases Coquille River to California reported in Curry County The World

OREGON COAST — The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announce the closure of the South Coast beaches for recreational mussel harvesting. Recent mussel results indicate the marine biotoxin paralytic shellfish poison has exceeded the closure limit. Mussel harvesting is now closed from the South Jetty of the Coquille River in Bandon to the California border. Mussel harvesting remains open from the Columbia River to the North Jetty of the Coquille River in Bandon. Razor clamming remains closed on the Clatsop beaches, between the Columbia River and Tillamook Head, for the annual ODFW razor clam conservation closure. This conservation closure is to protect young clams. The

The World

closure is not because of biotoxins. The earliest the Clatsop beaches could reopen is Oct. 1. Recreational bay clam and crab harvesting is open along the entire coast. ODA will continue to test for shellfish toxins twice per month, as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive

tests with results below the closure limit. Contact ODFW for recreational license requirements, permits, rules and limits. For more information call ODA’s shellfish biotoxin safety hotline at 800)-448-2474, the Food Safety Division at 503986-4720, or visit the ODA shellfish biotoxin closures webpage.

GUEST OPINION

Vote for change MARY GEDDRY

It has been a half century since the enactment of the National Environmental Protection Act and the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency. Since that time CO2 levels have risen at an unprecedented rate and exceed 410 ppm, 50% of U.S. waterways cannot sustain healthy aquatic life, 25% of the bird population is gone and Americans are subjected to thousands of toxic chemicals every day through the air they breathe, the water they drink and the food they eat. Made legal by our so-called system of environmental protection and designed to support commerce over sustainability this has in turn led to huge wealth gaps, social injustice, environmentally caused illness and record levels of houselessness, poverty and unemployment. All of this has been presided over by the two corporatist political parties. Peer reviewed studies indicate that climate change increases both the risk and impact of a pandemic. Now, rapid changes in our climate directly attributed to non-sustainable resource extraction and industrial practices have literally set the West Coast on fire. The extent of the long-term health and economic impacts are predicted by well-known economists, including Yanis Varoufakis and Richard Wolff, to lead to a prolonged depression if not a complete collapse of our financial system as we know it. Tribal loyalty and adherence to the two major parties has failed and failed catastrophically. We are in fact a failed state. Would any voter want to be complicit in such a failure of leadership by voting to maintain the status quo? Today, one third of Oregon is controlled by real estate investment trusts owned by out of state shareholders. Operated as monoculture tree plantations, these farms employ harmful aerial spraying that contaminate Oregon’s waterways. Studies of past Oregon wildfires has shown that plantation tree farms burn hotter than natural old growth forests and unlike real forests that burn in a mosaic pattern and recover, tree farms, on the other hand, ignite like flamethrowers, forming “firenados” that jump roads and rivers. We are witnessing the resultant loss of human life and property as a direct consequence of a conflagration ignited by climate and these ill-thought forest practices in Oregon, California and

Washington creating a perfect storm for disaster. Supremacists arrogantly scoff at the notion our environment, our climate, the whole ecosystems we all depend upon for our very survival as a species should be entitled to the same legal protections as humankind. Nature and all its living, breathing embodiments, is regarded as chattel, enslaved to mankind, mere property under our current system of law. Nature is now demonstrating in full force, in a voice so clear only the most obtuse can possibly ignore the folly of this belief system. While both the Democrats and the Republicans have done their best over the years to quash true democracy by standing in the way of third parties, we do still have choices. First, of course, is the cosmic question of whether to continue to legitimize the two parties that guided our dissent into this abyss? Doing so, unfortunately, perpetuates the same thinking that created these problems in the first place. The next choice is to reject both parties and reregister to vote or at the very least reject pro-gas, corporate sponsored candidates like Melissa Cribbins and Dick Anderson. State Senate District 5 constituents have an alternative candidate, who opposes non sustainable fossil fuel projects like the proposed Jordan Cove LNG and gas pipeline that will use eminent domain to seize private land. Nominated by the Pacific Green Party, Lakeside City Councilor Shauleen Higgins will refuse corporate campaign donations and work to improve our system of law to recognize the rights of communities to protect themselves to higher standards than state and federal regulatory agencies. Pacific Green Party candidate, Nathalie Paravicini is running for Oregon Secretary of State. The secretary of state sits on the Oregon Land Use Board and is instrumental in determining how the State’s forests, including the Elliott State Forest, are managed. For 244 years we’ve given this grand two party experiment a fair shot and it isn’t working. It’s a hard slog to change a political system but one sure way to fail is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Don’t be complicit. Vote for change like your lives depend upon it, because they do. (Mary Geddry of Coquille is cofounder of Coos Commons Protection Council and blogs sporadically at Geddry.com.)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t rush Supreme Court nomination I need to rant. Is it stupid to expect those who legislate and administer the law to be honest, caring people? Is it naive to want our elected officials to represent our values, not exclusively the selfish wants of large corporations and the very rich? Is it wrong for me to judge as traitors to our country media outlets (Fox News, Sinclair Broadcasting, Breitbart, etc.) and individual commentators (Limbaugh, Hannity, Carlson, Levin, etc.) that manipulate the ignorance and emotions of their uneducated audience into believing, fervently, that Democrats are evil and today’s Republican Party and its leaders are America’s saviors? Is it okay to let pass blatant violations of the law — for instance, the destruction of the postal service — designed to benefit the political fortunes of a president if you support that president? If you are white and, especially, male, what gives you the right to believe that minorities are not entitled to the same rights, opportunities and respect that you yourself are provided? Is it that easy for you to accept the response “There are always a few bad apples” when confronted so repeatedly with instances of police brutality toward and the murder of African Americans, none deserving aggressive confrontation? I recall vividly every one of the 14 or 15 Republican Party candidates for President on the stage of one of the Republican Party debates in 2016 not raising their hands when instructed by the debate moderator, “Raise your hand if you believe that climate change is real and caused by human behavior.” Which is

more important to you: loyalty to your party’s dogma or the survival of the human species? Lies, lies, lies! Which you take as fact if they adhere to your political beliefs. Are you that sort of person — believing the present excrement offered by Republicans today, Sunday, Sept. 20, that it is perfectly okay to rush through the nomination and acceptance of a new Supreme Court justice when there are less that 50 days left to the next presidential election when during President Obama’s last year in office (10 months before the 2016 election) Mitch McConnell refused to hold a hearing to consider Obama’s nomination to fill a sudden Supreme Court justice vacancy? The least among us should never determine our country’s fate. Trump and his enablers would have us be Putin’s greatest accomplishment. Harold Titus Florence

Invest in the U.S. Listen to Captain Duckworth speak with gratitude how her body was retrieved when the Army Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting was downed over Iraq in 2004. They thought she was dead due to extent of damage to her body and the amount of blood she had shed. They risked their lives to bring what they thought was her corpse, home. It was because of their honor she lives and continues her service to OUR America as a United States senator. Today, these sacrifices of our men and women in the military are being defiled by individuals serving personal profit and power. Where is the gratitude? The perverted loyalists to ‘What’s in it for me?’ tout the economy is more important than human life. Propagandizing that the New

York Stock Exchange reflects the American economy is malevolent at best. Look instead at the service of volunteer food banks struggling to feed OUR American families and the closure of schools which have over the years become food distribution centers to feed OUR children with free and reduced breakfasts, lunches and “Sack Suppers” served at the end of each school day. Look into a child’s eyes who has no home. I have. It is heartbreaking. Last October, Keene, Texas became the home for a 256-acre campus for a Louis Vuitton workshop where workers would be trained to produce luxury products with a Made in America label. The art of the deal came with a 10-year 75% tax abatement. Texas’ minimum wage is $7.25 an hour according to paycor.com. Guess the three people who attended the ribbon cutting photo opportunity? The CEO and Louis Vuitton chairman Bernard Arnault, the third richest man in the world, was also there. A modern-day “Let them eat cake” moment. Louis Vuitton handbags comfortably range from $1,356 to $2,640, although you will need $3,850 to bring the Dauphine MM handbag “home.” I didn’t check if there was a shipping and handling charge. So, what do you choose to invest in? Oregon School District, oregonsd.org lists K-12 breakfast at $1.85 while the lunches for grades K-4 are $2.85, grades 5-8 $3.05, and grades 9-12 being $3.25. One $1,356 handbag buys 3,390 servings of milk. I choose to vote and invest not in a bag, wind or otherwise, but in US, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Our America. United. Sue Powrie Myrtle Point

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR cont. We need Peter DeFazio OK, I get it. New and sparkly is interesting and fun. But this year, words like experienced, dependable and productive sound better to me. That’s why I am voting for Peter DeFazio. Has he been in office a long time? You bet and it seems to me that our district has reaped the benefits of his consistent efforts in our behalf. I am proud of our Oregon senators and our congressman Peter DeFazio. We need them right where they are. New is not always better. Betty Daniels Bandon

Coastal Harvest Food Bank in Bandon Did you know that Coastal Harvest Food Bank in Bandon has been around for many years? Do you know it has a thrift store on 11th Street at the corner of Fillmore (or Rosa Road, changes names there)? Do you know the thrift store helps pay for groceries for needy families and individuals? Do you know to support the store they accept donations in cash and check, and take in bottles and cans that have redemption value? Do you know that the wonderful McKay’s Market gives a refund to Coastal Harvest for all the receipts

brought to the food bank? So, you can shop at the thrift store, get great bargains and bring McKay’s receipts in as well as cans and bottles. It’s easy. I and friends and neighbors are supporting this wonderful nonprofit agency. Please join us. Jim Giambrone, Jr. Bandon

Voting for Mukumoto I am voting for Cal Mukumoto for State House Representative District 9. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Cal remotely and I believe his experience as a forester and business man is essential for the complex issues facing the South Coast of Oregon. His understanding and command of the complexity of the Elliott State Forest really impressed me. I come from a timber family and Cal understands the issues surrounding resource management and livability here on the South Coast. He is intelligent and thoughtful and he has the capacity to bring different people to the table to help make decisions for all of us. His opponent is a Libertarian and frankly, that worries me. How will a Libertarian fight for our schools and public services when their core beliefs include downsizing

government through defunding? We need someone who has the knowledge and capability to bring people to the table to stand up for our public services, including fire, police or schools. I trust Cal Mukumoto to help coastal Oregonians make our home a place where we can all live and thrive. I would recommend anyone who wants the South Coast to thrive economically to vote for Cal Mukumoto! Carrie Oldright Reedsport

Join me in voting for Boomer I grew up in Florence and we are raising our family in Reedsport. I have known Boomer Wright for a long time and have been able to really see him in action as he has substituted in the Reedsport schools where I work. He is a wonderful person, an excellent teacher and he would be a really effective State Representative. Boomer’s familiarity with education and with what is important to parents, kids and teachers really sets him apart and will make him so effective. Also, my husband works in the timber industry and Boomer has the endorsement of #TimberUnity and is a strong,

vocal supporter of small businesses, especially natural resource based small businesses. So many are quick to say that our small towns and our timber heritage are things of the past. Not so. There is a strong, important role for our small towns AND our natural resource based businesses in our state’s future. The world needs our wood products! Boomer is the experienced, common sense person who can really make a difference for us in Salem. Please join me in voting for Boomer. Shelbe Renner Reedsport

Good luck, America I guess nobody cares anymore about the law. The law and order candidate advertises himself from a blatantly obvious position of power, our White House, the people’s house. They violate the Hatch Act and thumb their noses to the people’s laws. Just like some of his followers who post their political signs on the John Tibbits or Empire Lakes park grounds which the city leaves up. I guess the city endorses the current administration. Or is it just this park? Can I put my sign up next to it? Or maybe there are certain

public properties or parks that are Democrat and others that are Republican. Someone give me some guidance here. Or is the law and order party just their law and their order? You see what a mess democracy can be if we don’t stick to the rules? It’s a mess in the best of times but now, with these pushy bullies and Putin and his lot putting their two cents in (a lot more than that!) well, it’ll be a miracle if we have a democracy when all this is done. Good luck, America. Nancy Shinn Coos Bay

OBITUARIES Marlene Joyce Nelson Fellows

Daniel Joseph Undell

February 26, 1946 – September 14, 2020

May 9, 1996 – August 25, 2020

A graveside service for Marlene Joyce Nelson Fellows, 74, of Coos Bay will be held at 3:00 pm, Friday, September 25, 2020 at Sunset Memorial Park, 63060 Millington Frontage Road in Coos Bay, with Pastor Tim

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Schitt’s Creek,” the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday’s Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep, something even TV greats including “Frasier” and “Modern Family” failed to achieve. Zendaya, 24, became the youngest lead drama actress winner for her role as a troubled teenager in “Euphoria.” She’s only the second Black actress to win the award, following Viola Davis’ groundbreaking 2015 win for “How to Get Away With Murder.” “I know this seems like a really weird time to be celebrating,” Zendaya said. “But I just want to say there is hope in the young people out there. I know our TV show doesn’t always feel like a great example of that,” but young people are out there “doing the work.” “Succession,” a family power struggle over a media empire, was honored as best drama series, and creator Jesse Armstrong used the opportunity to offer “un-thank-yous,” including to President Donald Trump

for what Armstrong called his “crummy and uncoordinated” response to the pandemic. “Succession” star Jeremy Strong won the drama actor trophy for his role as a potential heir to the throne. The virtual ceremony, with a hard-working Jimmy Kimmel as host, went smoothly despite producers’ concerns that the plan to link 100-plus nominees remotely could result in glitches. Although the rise of streaming services including Disney+ and Apple TV+ dominates the TV landscape, it was Emmy stalwart HBO that stole the show, with winners including “Succession” and “Watchmen” making up for its now-departed awards giant “Game of Thrones.” ViacomCBS-owned Pop TV and its quirky comedy also proved unbeatable. The awards for Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek” included best comedy series and trophies for its stars, including Catherine O’Hara and father-son Eugene and Daniel Levy. “It is absolutely incredible. I think my dad said it best earlier this evening:

it’s a dream you don’t want to wake up from, to be honest. What an absolutely unbelievable way to end our series,” Daniel Levy said backstage. His character’s comfortable pansexuality led to story lines that Levy called personally “cathartic.” In his acceptance speech, he said the sitcom was about “the transformational effects of love and acceptance, and this is something we need more now than ever before,” encouraging people to register and vote to achieve that goal. Other winners, including “Watchmen” star Regina King, made a point that the Nov. 3 general election was near. All the winners accepted their awards virtually in the pandemic-safe ceremony, including O’Hara, but she wasn’t alone. “Though these are the strangest of days, may you have as much joy being holed up in a room or two with your family as I had with my dear Roses,” O’Hara said from Canada, surrounded in a decorated room by mask-wearing co-stars who play the Rose family members.

Canadian comedy dominates 2020 Emmy Awards on Sunday

DeGeneres makes on-air apology NEW YORK (AP) — Ellen DeGeneres used her opening monologue of the new season of her daytime talk show to address allegations of a toxic work environment, apologizing for things “that never should have happened.” “I know that I’m in a position of privilege and power and I realize that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show,” she said in a video posted Monday. “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” started its 18th season in Los Angeles with the host on stage for the first time in months after taping from DeGeneres’s home during quarantine. There wasn’t a studio audience but a virtual one, with faces beamed in on monitors put in the audience seats. “We have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks about the show, our workplace, and what we want for the future,” she said. “We have made the necessary changes and today we are starting a new chapter.” Three of the show’s producers exited over the summer amid allegations of a dysfunctional workplace that harbored misbehavior, including sexual misconduct and racially insensitive remarks. In her monologue, DeGeneres dryly joked that her summer was “super-terrific.”

The host also addressed the allegations that the off-camera DeGeneres is very different than her sunny on-air persona. “The truth is I am that person that you see on TV,” she said. An internal company investigation of work conditions was prompted by a BuzzFeed News report in July based on 36 interviews with ex-staffers, who complained about or said they witnessed improper and unfair treatment. The people making the claims were not identified. “I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. I

take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people that were affected,” DeGeneres said in her monologue. The comedian and host had sent a memo to her staff after the BuzzFeed report, recalling her early promise of ensuring a workplace where “everyone would be treated with respect.” Something changed, she said, “and for that, I am sorry.” In a July statement, Warner Bros. said parent company WarnerMedia’s investigation revealed what it called “some flaws in the show’s daily management.”

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren A pillar of the community is less admired at home DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 14 years to a man a lot of people in our town think has no flaws. He helps a lot of people, and he is also a pastor, but he ignores me and takes me for granted, personally, emotionally and sexually. He’d rather watch TV until he falls asleep on the couch. He looks at pornography online, and I catch him often. Even if he’s busy at work, he finds time for everybody but me. He always has excuses. Since I married him, I have supported him and have gone the extra mile in all aspects -- his work, church activities. I have waited on him and made sure all his needs were met. Now I have reached the end of the line, and I want to leave. But if I do, people who know him will make me the villain. Although we still live under one roof for financial reasons, now I separate myself from him, look after him less and sleep in another room with my dog. Please, Abby, give me your views. -DONE WITH IT IN MAINE DEAR DONE: It appears your husband has already checked out of this marriage-in-name-only. Stop being afraid of being labelled a villain and offer your husband the option of couples counseling to see if the two of you can reconnect. Take into consideration that there may be more involved than you are aware of (ED problems, another woman). If your husband refuses, and you haven’t already done so, confide what has been happening in two or three close female friends. They can then spread the word that there is more than one side to the story. Then talk to an attorney. DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, my mother-in-law moved into a nursing home and was very sad to be leaving the house she had lived in for 50 years. My husband, devastated at the thought of someone else owning his childhood home, convinced me to sell our house and buy the house from my mother-inlaw. We moved in and began renovating it with the intention that it would

become our forever home. The problem is, everyone regards it as THEIR home, not ours. His adult children, his brother and his nieces all come and go as they please. I have talked to my husband about locking the front door, but he often forgets. His family members come into our house and make a mess or eat our food or sit out on our deck. Then they act like I need to accept it, as it’s their family house. I could maybe understand if we had inherited the house, but we pay the mortgage on it. I’m out of patience. How do I get my in-laws to once and for all see that this house is not theirs but ours? -- DESPERATE IN THE MIDWEST DEAR DESPERATE: I assume you have been hesitant to tell these in-laws that the names on the deed to the house are yours and your husband’s. If you haven’t said it plainly, the time to do it is now. You don’t have to be nasty, but you do have to convey that you would like guests to call before coming over to be sure it’s convenient. This is not too much to ask. It goes without saying (I sincerely hope) that they shouldn’t mess the place up or help themselves to your food uninvited. Your husband should back you up on this. Because he sometimes forgets to lock the door, that responsibility is one you will have to assume. You have my sympathy. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

The World

Five ways you can avoid DeFazio secures $5M in wildfire donation scams emergency relief funding The World SALEM — Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum wants the public to be aware of a potential for charitable scams as wildfires continue to burn across the state of Oregon. “The ongoing wildfires in Oregon are tragic and many are suffering. Kind and generous Oregonians are stepping up to help out by making donations,” said AG Rosenblum. “Unfortunately, we know there are some bad actors out there who will try to prosper off any disaster. I encourage Oregonians to give, but I want to help make sure your donations get to the right place and are used for their intended purpose.” To help with that, several Oregon’s leading charities have joined together to create the 2020 Community Rebuilding Fund. Oregonians are encouraged to give to that organization or to similar organizations they know are actively involved in relief efforts, including local United Ways in the counties that have been most impacted by the wildfires. For more information on how to give to the 2020 Community Rebuilding Fund, please

visit https://oregoncf.org/ oregon-wildfire-relief-recovery/. If you are interested in other giving options, give wisely and avoid potential scams by following these five tips: 1. Do your research. There are more than one million charities registered with the IRS. Find the best charities for you by visiting one of the following websites: — Guide Star — Charity Navigator — Better Business Bureau 2. Only give to registered charities. Before you give, check the Oregon Department of Justice database or call 971-673-1880 to confirm the organization is properly registered with the Oregon Department of Justice. 3. Monetary donations are usually preferred. Organizations can usually accomplish the most with financial donations. Managing and storing gifts of clothing, food, and household items can often strain limited resources. Before donating those kinds of supplies, check in with the organization to make sure they can make

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio-D, Ore., chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, announced he has secured $5 million in emergency relief funding for the Oregon Department of Transportation to start to repair damage caused to Oregon highways from the wildfires that have ravaged the state. “The magnitude of the destruction from these catastrophic wildfires is unfathomable and the need is urgent to repair infrastructure and allow thousands of Oregonians to return home safely,”

said Rep. DeFazio. “These roadways are vital lifelines for rural communities and are also key freight corridors connecting population hubs throughout the state. These funds will help our

Taking down trees to improve safety The World

SALEM – Burnt trees in the hundreds of thousands are threatening crews working to open roads and repair utilities across the state. Many of these dangerous trees are on private property — and normally it would be the responsibility of the landowner to remove them. To speed up the state’s ability to get communities and roads open, ODOT and contractors will now get these trees down on the ground for the property owner at no cost. “The danger we’re seeing for crews is truly unprecedented,” said Patti Caswell,

state take the first steps towards recovery.” Some vital highways throughout Oregon remain closed as active fire fighting continues. Preliminary damage assessments have found catastrophic impacts to parts of the state highway system and forecast at least $30 million worth of damage to federal-aid highways. These damages include downed trees, burned out guard rails, and fire damage to the road surface. As the fires become contained and access to the road system improves, the scale of damage will surely increase.

Crews work to remove fallen trees along OR 18. maintenance environmental program manager. “We need to get in as quickly and safely as possible to get these trees out of the way.” Property owners should be aware that crews may come onto their property to take down these trees, without the normal process of reaching out to the owners first regarding the dangerous trees. The sheer number of trees and properties affected make the normal approach not feasible. ODOT foresters/certified arborists are prescribing removal priorities for the districts. Trees will be dropped and left on private property whenever possible. If there are safety concerns, the trees will be hauled to an offsite location.

“These efforts will save people impacted by the fires at least one cost and remove one more problem to face,” Caswell said. Only trees that are presenting an immediate danger or that will present a near-future danger to the road or utilities will be taken down. “We’re only clearing what we need to clear so we can reopen the highway or because the tree will be a danger in the next three to six months,” said Caswell. “It’s more cost effective to get them down now.” Landowners can contact the ODOT District Office in their area if they have questions or concerns, and patience is appreciated during these times as staff is focused on recovery.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s impact on women spanned age groups and backgrounds NEW YORK (AP) — Sure, there were the RBG bobbleheads, the Halloween getups, the lace collars, the workout videos. The “I dissent” T-shirts, the refrigerator magnets, the onesies for babies or costumes for cats. And yes, the face masks, with slogans like: “You can’t spell TRUTH without RUTH.” But the pop culture status that Ruth Bader Ginsburg found — or rather, that found her — in recent years was just a side show, albeit one that amused her, to the unique and profound impact she

had on women’s lives. First as a litigator who fought tenaciously for the courts to recognize equal rights for women, one case at a time, and later as the second woman to sit on the hallowed bench of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg left a legacy of achievement in gender equality that had women of varied ages and backgrounds grasping for words this weekend to describe what she meant to them. “She was my teacher in so many ways,” said Gloria Steinem, the nation’s most visible feminist leader, in an interview. But

even if she hadn’t known her personally, Steinem said, it was due to Ginsburg, who died Friday at 87 of complications of cancer, that “for the first time I felt the Constitution was written for me.” “Now, it wasn’t written for me — it left out most folks, actually, when it was written,” Steinem added. But, she said, by forcing the courts to address issues like workplace discrimination, sexual assault and a host of others, Ginsburg “literally made me feel as if I had access to the law, because Ruth was there.” But the extent of Gins-

burg’s influence was felt not only by older women like Steinem, 86, who understood from experience the obstacles Ginsburg faced, such as not being able to find a job at a New York law firm despite graduating at the top of her class at Columbia Law School. Younger women and girls also say they were inspired by the justice’s achievements, her intellect and her fierce determination as she pursued her career. Hawa Sall, 20, a first-generation college student in New York, said it was Ginsburg who

inspired her to attend Columbia, where she’s now an undergraduate studying human rights and planning on law school. “Her resilience, her tenacity, her graciousness through it all — she’s always been one of my biggest inspirations in life,” said Sall, who lives in Brooklyn where Ginsburg was born, and whose family comes from Mali and Senegal. “She’s what I’ve always wanted to be, and still want to be.” Sall says she was fascinated by what she learned about Ginsburg when she attended an event at the

Lower Eastside Girl’s Club in Manhattan for the 2015 book, “Notorious RBG,” by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik (the title played on the name of Brooklyn rapper The Notorious B.I.G.) That book was part of a wave of rock-star like fame that enveloped Ginsburg in her later years on the bench, making her a hero to a younger generation: There was also a famed impression by Kate McKinnon on “Saturday Night Live,” a feature film, starring Felicity Jones as Ginsburg, and the hit documentary “RBG,” both in 2018.

Ginsburg

and such efforts are likely to expand if state abortion bans are permitted. There’s also likely to be an increase in do-it-yourself abortions, according to attorney Jill E. Adams of If/ When/How, which seeks to provide accurate information about this option and discourage authorities from criminalizing it. Already, many abortions are induced at home with a two-drug combination, under the guidance of a health professional. Advocacy groups say home abortions using one of the drugs — misoprostol — can be done safely without professional oversight. “If Roe is overturned or gutted, more people will need this option,” Adams said. Last year, at least eight states passed sweeping abortion bans — most of them so-called heartbeat bills that could ban abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Tennessee lawmakers approved such a measure this year. All the new bans have been at least temporarily blocked by judges. In June, a divided Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law regulating abortion clinics, reasserting a commitment to abortion rights over opposition from dissenting conservative jus-

tices in the first big abortion case of Trump’s presidency. Chief Justice John Roberts and his four more liberal colleagues, including Ginsburg, ruled 5-4 that a law that requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals violates the rights established by Roe v. Wade. Were Roberts to side with the three remaining liberals in future abortion cases, that bloc could be potentially outvoted by five conservatives — including the new Trump nominee. Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, noted that most recent abortion cases reaching the Supreme Court were decided by one-vote margins. “The fact that the court was so close — with Ruth Bader Ginsburg on it — sends shivers down my spine in terms of how crit

ical this next appointment is,” she said. Michael New, an abortion opponent who teaches social research at Catholic University of America, said a successful Trump nomination could further embolden anti-abortion state legislators. “Some state-level pro-life laws have been specifically drafted in such a way to obtain the vote of John Roberts,” New said via email. “If a Trump nominee is confirmed, it is possible that some states may pursue stronger laws that offer greater protection to the unborn. “ Among the favorites of many in the anti-abortion movement is Amy Coney Barrett, a devout Roman Catholic who taught law at the University of Notre Dame before taking a seat three years ago on a federal appeals court. Trump has said he will nominate a

woman and has spoken highly of Barrett. New said Trump could benefit from making a nomination even if the Senate doesn’t act on it until after the election. “Aggressive criticism of an otherwise qualified Supreme Court nominee may well work to the political advantage of the president

and other Republican candidates,” New said. There are two abortion-related state ballot measures up for a vote on Nov. 3 — a measure in Louisiana stipulating there is no right to abortion or abortion funding in the state Constitution, and a measure in Colorado that would ban abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy.

president, Alexis McGill Johnson, says there are 17 cases involving state-level abortion restrictions that are pending in federal courts “only one step away from the Supreme Court.” Julie Burkhart, who operates abortion clinics in Oklahoma City and in Wichita, Kansas, already has a sense of the consequences of a Roe v. Wade reversal, based on events this year in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic. The governors of Texas and some other Republican-led states issued executive orders banning most abortions on grounds they were non-essential medical procedures. Before those bans were quashed, many Texas women journeyed to out-of-state abortion clinics, including Burkhart’s Wichita clinic where the patient load quadrupled at one stage. ”It gave a peek into what a post-Roe world would look like, which was not a pretty sight,” Burkhart said. “It was devastating and heartbreaking.” There are numerous organizations assisting women who need to travel out of state to access abortion,

But Huit is not without hope — in fact, she’s optimistic about what the year has in store. “We told them that we’re making history,” Huit said. Three of her kids will play soccer this year, through the district and through Coos County Youth Sports — outside time that’s much needed, Huit said. Above all though, Huit says the district staff has been the brightest point in all the chaos. “I think the school district

We’re not sure what is still leaching from nurdles and we’re probably

also eating them in our fish.” Garrett was interested in collecting nurdles following a SEA training. “Mary (Garrett) and I went to a SEA training in Newport and they talked about nurdles,” Esqueda said. “There is a lot of it out there and one of the things they are doing is making nurdle necklaces to sell to educate the public.” Carrie Foster came to the cleanup with her husband Stephen and her niece Ashlynn Plouff, 3, and Cash Foster, 4. “For the past few weeks, Cash has been very focused on littering in town and has noticed the trash everywhere and wanted to

equity across the district, all while taking precautions against spreading COVID-19. Since each student and family is different, the district reviews each student’s needs individually to design a solution. That could mean delivering paper workbooks to students who aren’t successful on computers or outfitting a home classroom with specialized furniture. “Each family is individual,” Ross said. “We have to be very creative on how we provide from a distance.” But the district has done this before — in the spring, when school districts across the country switched to remote operations in a matter of weeks. Since then, Ross says the district has heard from parents about what changes are needed, and added an in-person testing center in the district.

Beyond that, Ross echoes Huit, saying the pandemic’s learning challenges have changed how the district works with parents. “It’s forced us to connect more with families,” Ross said. “Even though it may not be a happy time, there are relationships forming.” Something similar for Nemesia Chouinard, whose three kids started school in the Coos Bay School District Monday. /// Two of them are on the autism spectrum. “We all just got thrown into this pandemic,” Chouinard said. “I try to be optimistic.” Chouinard changed jobs during the pandemic. Now, she’s able to take care of her son at home — all the more important since he can’t take take his adult program classes in person full time. “I was looking forward

to him getting out in the community,” she said. “It’s different when you’re with your peers.” Still, Chouinard is optimistic at the fall will be better than the spring was, when her daughter Emily struggled with the quick transition to all-online learning. That lead to “a lot of meltdowns,” Chouinard said. This year, Emily and Andre will get a few hours of in-person instruction on campus a day, a change Chouinard hopes will provide some stability in their schedules and allow her and her other daughter to focus on their own school work. Until school returns to a fully in-person schedule, Chouinard has a plan for keeping a handle on her work and teaching her kids. “One day at a time,” she said.

quaint and has amazing beaches and Bandon has both of those,” Jeanne said. The couple picked up trash along the South Jetty. All of the trash picked up in the Bandon area and from other along the South Coast on Saturday will be taken to Washed Ashore, a Bandon-based nonproft that builds and exhibits art made from trash collected along local beaches to educate about plastic pollution and spark change in consumer habits. Washed Ashore sculptures can be seen around Bandon but are also on exhibit worldwide in museums, zoos, theme parks, aquariums and other locations.

Katie Dougherty, Washed Ashore operations and financial manager, was on hand Saturday to facilitate gathering the trash to take to Washed Ashore’s facility south of Bandon. “We have some new sculptures we’re working on and one of the pieces that we’ve been commissioned to do will be revealed on the Kelly Clarkson show,” said Dougherty, who lives in Port Orford and is involved in several other volunteer activities. Some of Washed Ashore’s creations will be available on an Etsy online store the organization will soon open. Heather Fargason

traveled from Medford for the weekend to escape the smoke. “We found a room and found out this was happening and thought it would be a good way to get out,” Fargason said, adding that her family visits Bandon regularly and she’s helped with Washed Ashore projects. “So to be on that side too feels good and helpful,” Fargason said. “I’m super thankful for the opportunity. It’s awesome.” There will be two additional SOLVE Beach Cleanup events on Oct. 3 at Oregon Dunes in Winchester Bay and Umpqua Dunes Beach, both north of the Reedsport area.

DeChambeau blasts way to U.S. Open title Golfer with caddie from the South Coast captures first major MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) — What was supposed to be a typical U.S. Open produced a most unconventional champion. Bryson DeChambeau was not the least bit concerned by the narrow fairways or the ankle-deep rough that shape Winged Foot into historically the toughest of all U.S. Opens. With his extra 40 pounds of muscle and mass, he wanted to pound it into submission with his driver, even if his errant shots were buried in deep grass. That’s how he plays the game. And for skeptics who said that

wouldn’t work in a U.S. Open at Winged Foot, just look at that shiny silver trophy he kissed, and the record score he posted Sunday in a six-shot victory. This victory was as much about validating his out-of-thebox approach to the royal and ancient game. “One hundred percent, no doubt,” DeChambeau said. “For me, it’s about the journey of can I execute every shot more repeatable than everybody else. I was able to do that this week. That’s why I won by six.” Part of this course’s fame is the “Massacre of Winged Foot” in 1974 when the winning score was 7-over par. This was a massacre, all right. DeChambeau, whose caddie is Tim Tucker from Coos Bay,

rolled in a 7-foot par putt and thrust those powerful arms in the air when he capped off a 3-under 67 on a course that didn’t allow another round under par. Two shots behind Matthew Wolff at the start of a chilly September afternoon, he caught him in four holes, passed him in five and pulled away along the back nine. From the fairway. From the rough. It didn’t matter. “I don’t really know what to say because that’s just the complete opposite of what you think a U.S. Open champion does” Rory McIlroy said. “Look, he’s found a way to do it. Whether that’s good or bad for the game, I don’t know, but it’s just not the way I saw this golf course being played or this tournament being played.” Call him a mad scientist in a

tam o’shanter cap. Call him a game-changer in golf. Any description now starts with U.S. Open champion. Wolff, trying to become the first player since Francis Ouimet in 1913 to win the U.S. Open in his debut, closed with a 75. He made a 10-foot eagle putt on the par-5 ninth to stay within one shot. That was his only hole under par. Wolff finished at evenpar 280, a score that would have won four of the previous five U.S. Opens at Winged Foot. It didn’t stand a chance in this one. “You can’t take Bryson out because obviously he won, but shooting even par for four rounds at Winged Foot is pretty exceptional,” Wolff said. That describes DeChambeau

this week. It was a breathtaking performance, four rounds at par or better, the first player to manage that at Winged Foot. His victory really began last October, when he closed out his 2019 season in Las Vegas and said with a mischievous grin, “I’m going to come back next year and look like a different person.” He added 40 pounds through intense workout and a diet of 6,000 calories a day. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down golf for three months, leading to the U.S. Open being postponed from June to September. It also gave DeChambeau more time to execute his plan of swinging faster and harder, stretching the limits. Please see Open, Page B3

Herbert shines in debut

night to yell “Bravo!” In towns and villages across France, that word has been heard again, over and over, these past weeks — this time for the Tour’s riders as they zoomed past in a kaleidoscope of colored jerseys, the yellow one most prized of all. And against the virus that doesn’t care how old or young its victims are, how hopeful it seemed that the Tour’s winner should come from the same generation asking itself: What is life going to be like for us?

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Anthony Lynn didn’t find out his starting quarterback was injured until right after the coin toss. So about 10 seconds before the opening kickoff, the Los Angeles Chargers coach found Justin Herbert on the sideline and told the 22-year-old rookie he was taking over for Tyrod Taylor immediately. “He was in a little bit of shock,” Lynn recalled. “I think he thought I was joking. I had to tell him a couple of times.” Herbert claimed he didn’t actually think Lynn was joking, but he was every bit as surprised as his teammates. Right up until that moment, nobody had any inkling that the much-anticipated debut of the No. 6 overall pick would happen in Week 2 against the defending Super Bowl champions and during the Chargers’ inaugural game at SoFi Stadium. “But I know I belong out here,” Herbert said. Philip Rivers’ heir apparent gathered himself and gave a performance to remember. Even if the Chargers’ predilection for heartbreaking losses was a problem too big for Herbert to solve in his very first game. Herbert passed for 311 yards with one touchdown through the air, one with his feet and one costly interception in the Chargers’ 23-20 overtime loss to Kansas City on Sunday. “That’s one of those moments that I’ve waited for my entire life,” Herbert said. “To be out there going against the Kansas City Chiefs and being alongside some of these guys, it’s a moment that I’ll never forget.” The Chargers had planned to bring along Herbert slowly behind Taylor, the respected former Buffalo starter who backed up Rivers last season. Taylor’s apparent re-aggravation of a rib injury altered the timetable this week, but the overall plan still hasn’t changed, according to Lynn: If Taylor is healthy, he will start at home against Carolina next Sunday. “He was our starter for a reason, and if he’s 100 percent healthy, he’s our starter,” Lynn said. That could be a tough sell to many Chargers fans who got a tantalizing glimpse of their future in this narrow loss to the champs. Herbert went 22 of 33 against the Chiefs, looking confident and strong in the pocket — and showing the smarts to rely on standout targets Keenan Allen and Hunter Henry, who combined for 13 receptions. Herbert also ran for 18 yards, showing an elusiveness and speed belying his 6-foot-6 frame. “I just like what I’m seeing,” Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa said. “He’s got a good head on his shoulders. It’s gonna be exciting to watch him grow.” Herbert’s first pass against the Chiefs fell incomplete, but he shook it off and engineered a 79yard scoring drive capped by his 4-yard TD run. He didn’t get to celebrate wildly because he saw a flag on the field, but it was on the Kansas City defense.

Spirit of Pre continues COVID-style JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — It wasn’t anything like a normal year, but a number of South Coast runners and walkers kept up the tradition of the Prefontaine Memorial Run on Saturday. In what organizers described as a “COVID-style Pre,” participants toured the traditional 10-kilometer course from its start in downtown Coos Bay to the finish on Prefontaine Track at Marshfield High School. To encourage social distancing, the organizers stretched the possible start time from the morning to early afternoon, a 6-hour stretch that was used by a variety of people of all ages from multiple towns. They included a big group of students from Bandon led by their cross country coach Brent Hutton. They also included Hutton’s father-in-law, Tom Brown, one of the runners who has participated in every edition of the Prefontaine Memorial Run — Saturday was to have been the 41st running of the race in memory of former Marshfield great Steve Prefontaine.

Rookie Pogacar is youngest Tour de France champ PARIS (AP) — In a first, the Tour de France winner wore a face mask on the podium Sunday, bright yellow to match the color of the iconic jersey so snug on his young shoulders. But at least there was a winner. Three weeks ago, when 21-year-old Tadej Pogacar set off with 175 other competitors that he ended up beating, not even race organizers were sure they would make it through the storm of France’s worsening coronavirus epidemic and reach Paris. “Really, I was scared we

wouldn’t get to the end,” race director Christian Prudhomme conceded at the finish. And so it was that Pogacar, up there on that podium, backlit by the pink hues of a Paris dusk, not only became the Tour’s youngest champion in 116 years but also a symbol of resilience, of can-do, of learning to live with — but not surrendering to — the virus still causing so much pain. Sure, it all felt weird, as so many things do these days. Example: Pogacar’s mask puffed in and out, like an octopus glued to his face, as he sang the anthem

of his native Slovenia, played in his honor. But so liberating and invigorating, too, in this most horrid of years. The rumble of the riders’ wheels hammering over the cobblestones of Paris’ Champs-Elysees. Alive, like heartbeats, on the famous boulevard that during lockdown just months ago was deserted. The applause from the roadside crowds that, when they were all confined indoors, cheered only for doctors and nurses, coming out on their balconies each

Seahawks stop Newton to beat Patriots

Herbert

SEATTLE (AP) — Cam Newton was stopped at the 1-yard line on the final play and the Seattle Seahawks held off the New England Patriots 35-30 on Sunday night. Newton led New England 80 yards in the closing moments, trying to spoil the performance of Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, who matched his career high with five touchdown passes. Newton and the Patriots reached the 1 on a pass to N’Keal Harry with 3 seconds left. On the final play, Newton tried to run power to the left, but was upended by L.J. Collier in the biggest play of his young career. Newton, who had two rushing touchdowns in the game, never got close to the goal line and Seattle’s sideline erupted in celebration. Newton was excellent in his first road game with the Patriots throwing for 397 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He ran for another 47 yards, but couldn’t get the last three feet to give New England a victory. Wilson was masterful on the other side, completing 21 of 28 passes for 288 yards. It was his fourth career game with five touchdown passes. Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, David Moore, Freddie Swain and Chris Carson all took turns celebrating in the end zone. Carson was the last, running under a 18-yard rainbow toss from Wilson against the blitz with 4:32 left to give the Seahawks a 35-23 lead. But Newton wasn’t done. His second TD run pulled New England to 35-30 with 2:16 left. It was his eighth career game with at least two rushing TDs, setting an NFL record. New England held the Seahawks to a three-and-out after Seattle threw on third-and-1 and Wilson couldn’t connect with Lockett on a deep shot. Newton needed just five plays to move New England from its 19 to the Seattle 36 with 41 seconds left. After a penalty, Newton hit Edelman for 18 yards to the Seattle 13 with 20 seconds left and the pair nearly connected again in the end zone but Newton’s pass was high with 9 seconds remaining. Newton found Harry, but he was stopped at the 1 and New England used its final timeout, setting the stage for the final play. Edelman finished with eight catches for 179 yards.

Herbert also showed he meant business early in the game when he scrambled toward the sideline, followed by Damien Wilson. The Chiefs linebacker attempted to deliver a nasty hit to the rookie QB, but ended up injuring himself when Herbert proved tougher than he expected. Herbert threw his first touchdown pass 2:30 before halftime, hitting Jalen Guyton in the back corner. He went 13 of 20 for 195 yards without an interception in the first half. “We just tried to rally around the young boy, let him know that we’ve got his back,” cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. “Going against the defending champs, not even knowing he was going to play, that would be too big for some guys, but he was able to handle it and go out and have a solid game.” Herbert made his biggest mistake in the final minute of the third quarter after another solid drive. With plenty of artificial turf in front of him on a scramble, Herbert instead tried to throw deep down the middle toward Allen, and L’Jarius Sneed picked it off. The Chiefs marched 95 yards for a TD and a tying 2-point conversion. “The kid did a great job and managed the game well,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. “He made plays when they needed to, but had the turnover which bit him.” Herbert got awfully close to a victory. He led the Chargers on a 17-play, 82yard drive that consumed nearly 10 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter, but he got dropped at the Kansas City 5 on third and goal. After the Chargers’ three-and-out to begin overtime, Patrick Mahomes engineered the Chiefs’ game-winning drive. Herbert got a firsthand look at how an MVP operates, and he intends to use the entire unexpected experience as fuel. “It’s adversity,” Herbert said. “I know we’ll learn from it, and in the long run, it’s going to help us.”

Gostkowski, who hit the left upright on an extra point, also made a 51-yarder at the end of the first half after an ugly performance in the opener. Jeffery Simmons batted a pass by Gardner Minshew, and Harold Landry III grabbed the ball out of the air with 47 seconds left to seal the victory.

Goff completed his first 13 passes, including a pair of TDs to Higbee, and the Rams jumped to a 21-3 lead minutes into the second quarter.

The Steelers (2-0) knocked out Denver starting quarterback Drew Lock in the first quarter with a right shoulder injury. They didn’t secure the win until safety Terrell Edmunds sacked Broncos backup Jeff Driskel on fourth-and-2 with less than two minutes to go. Driskel completed 18 of 34 for 256 yards with two touchdowns and a pick, and absorbed a serious pounding at the hands of Pittsburgh’s defense. The Steelers had seven sacks in all — six of them on Driskel — and were credited with 19 quarterback hits. COLTS 28, VIKINGS 11: Jonathan Taylor, a 21-year-old rookie running back, rushed 26 times for 101 yards and scored a touchdown in his first NFL start. Taylor celebrated his first win inside Lucas Oil Stadium, after losing three Big Ten championship games with Wisconsin in the stadium, in front of about 2,500 fans. He became the first Colts rookie in eight years to top the 100-yard mark, and it helped Philip Rivers win his first game with Indy (1-1). Taylor wasn’t Indy’s only impressive rookie. Michael Pittman Jr. caught four passes for 37 yards, Julian Blackmon tipped the ball to Khari Willis for an interception, and Rodrigo Blankenship made all four of his field-goal attempts. BEARS 17, GIANTS 13: Mitchell Trubisky threw two touchdown passes and the Bears hung on against the banged-up Giants 17-13. The Bears (2-0) grabbed a 17-0 halftime lead and withstood a big push a week after rallying from 17 down at Detroit for their first season-opening win in seven years. The Giants (0-2) refused to go quietly even though they lost star running back Saquon Barkley to a right knee injury on the opening play of the second quarter. New York’s Dion Lewis made it a seven-point game when he plowed in from the 1 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. James Bradberry then intercepted Trubisky when he ripped the ball out of Allen Robinson’s hands, leading to a 37-yard field goal by Graham Gano that cut it to 17-13 with 7:43 remaining. The Giants drove to the 10 before Golden Tate got flagged for pushing off against Eddie Jackson near the goal line on an incomplete pass as time expired.

Padres clinch spot in baseball playoffs SAN DIEGO (AP) — After 14 long years, the San Diego Padres are back in the playoffs, this time with a cast of stars who never flinch when they get down. The Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 7-4 Sunday with a three-run rally in the 11th inning that included a go-ahead double by newcomer Mitch Moreland. In one of many bizarre twists to 2020, the clincher came in the finale of a series that was moved from Seattle because of poor air quality due to wildfires, so the Mariners were considered the home team and batted last. After closer Trevor Rosenthal (1-0), another newcomer, struck out Phillip Ervin for the final out, the Padres had a brief but joyous celebration in the infield. Then they gathered near the dugouts

to get playoff caps and T-shirts before moving to the clubhouse. Budding superstar shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., who is warming back up after struggling for several games, said the moment was huge for the team and the city. “I just feel so happy for the city of San Diego,” said Tatis, 21, the son of the former big leaguer. “I know it’s been so many years since they went to the playoffs and bringing playoff baseball back to San Diego, I just get emotional.” As for the players, “Oh man, just happiness,” said Tatis, who along with teammate Manny Machado is a contender for NL MVP. “It’s been a quick but hard year. Everybody has struggled, everybody has put their good work and now we have each

other’s back and we find a way to win games.” Although Petco Park was devoid of spectators, a handful of fans watched from a rooftop bar just beyond left-center field and several others watched from balconies on an office building high above right field. The loss by Seattle also locked up an American League playoff berth for the New York Yankees. Each team scored in the 10th inning and the Padres started the 11th with Machado on second base. Moreland, obtained in a trade with Boston on Aug. 30, lifted an opposite-field fly down the left-field line off Casey Sadler (1-1) and it dropped just in front of Tim Lopes. Machado, who held up halfway to third, hustled around and scored for a 5-4 lead.

Thorns open fall series with 3-0 win PORTLAND (AP) — Sophia Smith, the No. 1 overall pick in the National Women’s Soccer League draft this year, scored in her Portland debut and the Thorns beat the Utah Royals 3-0 in a fall series match Sunday. There was drama before the start. The Royals placed head coach Craig Harrington and assistant coach Louis Lancaster on a leave of absence, and assistant Amy LePeilbet was named interim head coach. No reason was given for the move. It was the first game at Providence Park for the Thorns since last October. The NWSL suspended the season on March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The league restarted with the Challenge Cup tournament in Utah before returning to local markets for the fall series. The Thorns were scheduled to open the series at home against OL Reign on Sept. 12, but smoky conditions in Portland due to wildfires in the Pacific Northwest forced that game to be rescheduled for Sept. 30. Simone Charley danced around two defenders before beating Royals goalkeeper Abby Smith, giving the Thorns the lead in the 35th minute. Sophia Smith, who played for Stanford, scored on a header in the

72nd minute. She was unable to play in the Challenge Cup because of injury. Lindsey Horan added a goal that rebounded off Abby Smith in the 81st. The Royals and the Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake have been embroiled in scandal in recent weeks. Owner Dell Loy Hanson made controversial remarks following RSL’s decision not to play a match in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. After allegations surfaced that detailed a history of racist comments, Hansen apologized and announced he was selling Utah Soccer Holdings, which includes RSL, the Royals and the USL’s Real Monarchs. Utah Soccer Holdings executive Andy Carroll was also placed on a leave earlier this month while the team investigated allegations of workplace misconduct. MLS and the NWSL also launched investigations. It was unclear if Sunday’s announcement regarding Harrington and Lancaster were connected to those investigations. Players for the Royals issued a statement before the match, but it wasn’t known if it was connected to the team’s moves Sunday.

“We’ve had enough. Enough of the racist systems excluding black and brown people. Enough of sexist stereotypes infiltration conversations about our talented and achievements as athletes. Enough of a work environment that is not open and includes for all,” the statement said, in part. “We acknowledge the past the past wrongdoings of this organization and choose to move forward in a new direction.”

Timbers top Earthquakes SAN JOSE, Calif. — Diego Valeri had two goals, Yimmi Chará had a goal and an assist, and the Portland Timbers beat the San Jose Earthquakes 6-1 on Saturday night. Jeremy Ebobisse, Jaroslaw Niezgoda and Julio Cascante also scored for Portland (5-4-3). Valeri converted from the spot in the 25th minute to open the scoring after San Jose was called for a hand ball in the area. Ebobisse made it 2-0 about two minutes later. Carlos Fierro scored just before halftime for San Jose (2-5-5), which is winless in its last seven games. Valeri’s shot from the top of the area deflected into the net in the 57th minute to make it 3-1. It was his first multi-goal game since September 24, 2017.

Harvick nabs ninth win of NASCAR season BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Feeding off one of the largest crowds at a sporting event during the pandemic, Kevin Harvick steamrolled his way into the second round of NASCAR’s playoffs in a championship that is clearly his to lose. Harvick held off a charging Kyle Busch over the final 40 laps Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway for his career-best and Cup Series-high ninth victory of the season. He did it in front of a sold-out crowd of 30,000 spectators, the most Bristol was allowed to admit and the largest crowd since March. “I hadn’t been to too many races where I’ve been that jacked up getting in the race car,” Harvick said. “The fans were so enthusiastic tonight and I don’t know if we’ve just

been away from them for that long, but you could feel the enthusiasm in the stadium tonight. “As I was getting in the car, I was just wound up and just really, really ready to race.” Harvick took the lead from Busch and denied Busch his first victory of the season. Busch furiously tried to catch him as the two weaved their way through lapped traffic, but Harvick held firm in the No. 4 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing. Only six cars finished on the lead lap in a tepid event at the 0.533-mile bullring revered for bumping and banging. Track officials sold all 30,000 tickets allowed — making Bristol one of the largest sporting events since the pandemic — and the spectators crowded the fence as Harvick celebrated his second win of the playoffs.

Harvick also won the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway to open the playoffs. He’s ninth on NASCAR’s career list with 58 Cup victories. Busch, who failed inspection twice before the race and drove from the back of the field to lead in his Toyota, was disappointed to finish second. Busch took aim at Joey Logano, who failed to move out of the way as Harvick and Busch battled for the lead — “he’s nobody’s friend for a reason” — as well as younger drivers Garrett Smithley and Joey Gase. “If that lap car wasn’t there, I would have blown it in on the outside or the inside and maybe we would have banged each other’s doors or whatever and had a greater finish to the checkered,” Busch said. “But some of them (idiot)

kids don’t know what the hell they’re doing or where they’re at and can’t stay out of the way. Nothing like a Gase and a Smithley.” Smithley, who finished 32nd and has received criticism from Busch before, argued he’s a target for Busch even when he didn’t alter Busch’s race. “Went outta my way to give him room,” Smithley wrote on Twitter. “Think he might have thought I was in a different car.” Either way, Busch was aggravated enough to predict his run in these playoffs will be short. “We’ll be eliminated next round, so don’t care,” Busch said. The first elimination race of the playoffs knocked William Byron, Cole Custer, Ryan Blaney and Matt DiBenedetto from title contention.

Open

Louis Oosthuizen birdied the 18th to finish alone in third. “I don’t think they can set it up for him, to be honest,” Oosthuizen said. “I don’t know what they can do really, because he’s hitting it so far. He’s so strong out of the rough. And he’s probably one of the best putters out there, which a week that he really putts well, you’re going to have a lot of trouble.” In six U.S. Opens at Winged Foot among 894 competitors, DeChambeau is only the third to finish a tournament under par. His 6-under 274 was the lowest score, and no one saw it coming this week. Wolff, the 21-year-old Californian who can drive it past DeChambeau with a lower flight and more roll in the fairway, gave him a good run in his quest to become the youngest U.S. Open champion since Bobby Jones in 1923. The U.S. Open was still

up for grabs for a fleeting moment around the turn. DeChambeau and Wolff each got out of position on the eighth hole and made bogey. DeChambeau was at 3 under, one shot ahead of Wolff. Ahead of them, Oosthuizen and Xander Schauffele were lurking at even par. Still to play was the back nine, where so much has gone wrong at Winged Foot over the years. Not this time. DeChambeau and Wolff blasted drives down the fairway on the par-5 ninth. DeChambeau rolled in a 40-foot eagle putt with perfect pace. Wolff, who had pitching wedge for his second shot, matched his eagle with a 10-foot putt. Just like that it was a two-man race. And then it was a oneman show. Wolff’s tee shot on the par-3 10th rolled left into the thick collar of the bunker, a spot so precarious

he had to stand in the deep bunker and grip halfway down the steel shaft of his sand wedge. He chipped 10 feet by the hole for a bogey to fall two shots behind. From the fairway on the 11th, however, Wolff hit wedge that was chunky and went into the right rough, and he had to scramble for par instead of setting up a reasonable birdie chance. DeChambeau from the right rough came up short, but he used putter from off the green for birdie from 15 feet away. With a three-shot lead, DeChambeau kept blasting away as if he were chasing, not leading, just like he said he would. He saved par from the left rough on the 14th and a perfect pitch from deep grass behind the green. He downed another protein shake walking down the 15th, marching along to a major title that affirms his position in the game as a pioneer.

From B1

His work ethnic borders on insanity, and the eve of the final round was no exception. Unhappy with how he played Saturday, hitting only three fairways, DeChambeau had the lights turned on so he could stay on the range well past 8 p.m., pounding driver, searching for the right swing. Temperatures were in the 40s. He was in a short-sleeve shirt. He didn’t find fairways, but he seemed to miss in the right spots. That was key for a player who hit only six fairways on Sunday, 23 out of 56 for the week. Skepticism turned into admiration, with a healthy dose of disbelief. “It’s a game we’ve never really seen before,” said Harris English, who shot 73 and finished fourth.

Tour From B1

“It’s super. I adore that,” said Lea Tilhac, a 23-yearold student who got to the Champs-Elysees hours early to be sure of being among the 5,000 people allowed to line its length, the socially-distanced limit this year. “It shows there’s a future.” For Pogacar, the future now looks brighter than ever. The victory on the eve of his 22nd birthday and the way he went about it during 3,482 kilometers (2,164 miles) of racing — with an intoxicating mix of youthful insouciance and steely grit — transformed him from prodigy into cycling superstar, a Tour rookie so talented he KO’d the race on his first attempt. He is Slovenia’s first winner and the Tour’s second-youngest behind Henri Cornet, who was just shy of 20 when he was crowned in 1904. Pogacar sealed the win in a high-drama time trial on Saturday, the last real day of racing for the title. In an astounding reversal, he dethroned race leader Primoz Roglic, his countryman who had held the yellow jersey for 11 days. Pogacar held

Pre From B1

Wooden and Kent Sharman and Chris Amaral, two other club members, began discussing ideas and sharing them with Huggins several weeks ago. All the participants had to pass a temperature check and take a survey that they had no symptoms of COVID-19 to receive a mark that allowed them access to the track at Marshfield. Four volunteers took the names of participants, including Michelle Allen, who works for the Coos Bay School District and is familiar with the contact tracing process. Allen was among regulars in a Wednesday running group who were asked to volunteer by Wooden. “I have a minor injury,” she said. “I wanted to help out.” The others at the starting area were Kyya Denbaugh, Wooden’s daughter, and Cheal’s children Natalie and Finley. Through the morning and afternoon, they greeted participants. “A couple made their own Pre shirts,” Natalie Cheal said. “It was really cute.” Tom Brown was one of those with a custom-made T-shirt, the back of which read: “2020 can’t stop me from RUNNING 41 yrs. In the PRE!” For the most part the runners spread them-

it for just one day, the last and most important, on the processional ride to the finishing line in Paris, with yellow bike to match. On the podium, Pogacar’s mask hid his smiles, but the creases around his eyes gave them away. “This is just the top of the top,” he said. “It’s been an amazing three-week adventure.” With jets trailing plumes of red, white and blue smoke above Paris as the riders raced, organizers could finally breathe free. None of the 176 starters, or 146 finishers, tested positive for the virus in multiple batteries of tests, validating the hermetic bubble of measures that shielded them from infection and the decision to postpone the race from July to September, but not to cancel it. The only COVID-19 positives touched a handful of team employees and Prudhomme, the director, even as infection numbers soared across the country. Prudhomme was back after a week of self-isolation. Wearing a mask, he signaled the start of Sunday’s stage at Mantes-La-Jolie west of Paris with a wave of his flag through the sunroof of his car. selves out, though a bunch showed up around 9:30 a.m., half an hour before the regular start time. “Rex (Miller) wanted to start right at 10,” Allen said. “We did a countdown for him.” Some runners weren’t aware of the plans for the COVID-style Pre, but turned up anyway since it was the traditional day for the race. “They just showed up and were happy we were here,” Allen said. Most of the participants, though, knew they were going to have to sign up and give their names. The 100th runner to sign up was Jennifer Stephens of Coos Bay. “It was supposed to be part of my big training regime this year,” she said of the Prefontaine Memorial Run. “I also won my age group the last two years and wanted to win again,” she said. As the final participants made it to the track, they were greeted by a welcoming committee that included Wooden and Huggins, as well as Todd Landsberg and Patrick Bringardner, who was ringing a cowbell. Earlier in the day, Sharman, Amaral, Lawrence Cheal, Jessica Engelke and Steve Richardson also were part of the group at the track. “This has been a very fun day,” Wooden said. “All I have done is hung out here, but it’s been fun. “This is all community fun.”

The World

Tropical Storm Beta headed for Texas coast HOUSTON (AP) — Parts of Texas and Louisiana braced Monday for flooding and damaging storm surge as Tropical Storm Beta slowly worked its way into a part of the country that’s already been drenched and battered during this year’s exceptionally busy hurricane season. The storm was no longer expected to gain hurricane strength and forecasters decreased estimated rainfall totals from Beta early Monday, saying in a U.S. National Hurricane Center advisory that up to 15 inches of rain could fall in some areas. That’s down from earlier predictions of up to 20 inches. The system’s slow movement and storm surge, however, were generating concerns in coastal communities. Maximum sustained winds were 50 mph Monday morning. Beta was moving west at 7 mph at about 10 a.m. Monday, forecasters said. Storm surge up to 5 feet was forecast from San Luis Pass to Sabine Pass in Southeast Texas. Beta was set to make landfall along Texas’ central or upper Gulf Coast late Monday, forecasters said. It was then expected to move northeastward along

the coast and head into Louisiana sometime mid-week, with rainfall as its biggest threat. Forecasters said flash flooding was possible in Arkansas and Mississippi as the system moves further inland. Forecasters said Beta was not expected to bring the same amount of rainfall that Texas experienced during either Hurricane Harvey in 2017 or Tropical Storm Imelda last year. Harvey dumped more than 50 inches of rain on Houston and caused $125 billion in damage in Texas. Imelda, which hit Southeast Texas, was one of the wettest cyclones on record. The first rain bands from Beta reached the Texas coast on Sunday, but the heaviest rain wasn’t expected to arrive until late Monday into Tuesday. In low-lying Galveston, officials didn’t expect to issue a mandatory evacuation order, but they advised people to have supplies ready in case they have to stay home for several days if roads are flooded. “We’re not incredibly worried,” Galveston resident Nancy Kitcheo said Sunday. Kitcheo, 49, and her family evacuated last

month when forecasts suggested Hurricane Laura could make landfall near Galveston, but they’re planning to wait out Beta. Laura ended up making landfall in neighboring Louisiana. Kitcheo, whose home is 18 feet above the ground on stilts, said she expected her street to be impassable as water from rising tides was already flooding neighboring roadways on Sunday. “This has definitely been more stressful, this hurricane season,” she said. Galveston, which has about 50,000 residents, was the site of the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history, a 1900 storm that killed an estimated 6,000 people. The city was also hit hard in 2008 by Hurricane Ike, which caused about $30 billion in damage. Kitcheo’s previous home had to be torn down after Ike. Beta was churning slowly through the Gulf of Mexico on Monday morning about 55 miles southeast of Port O’Connor, Texas, and 75 miles south-southwest of Freeport, Texas, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Forecasters ran out of traditional storm names on Friday, forcing the use of the Greek

alphabet for only the second time since the 1950s. Beta is forecast to dump heavy rain on the southwestern corner of Louisiana three weeks after the same area got pounded by Hurricane Laura. More than 41,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity, and Beta could add to that figure by toppling trees that were left leaning by the previous storm, said meteorologist Donald Jones of the National Weather Service office in Lake Charles, Louisiana. If Beta makes landfall in Texas, it would be the ninth named storm to make landfall in the continental U.S. in 2020. That would tie a record set in 1916, according to Colorado State hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach. Parts of the Alabama coast and Florida Panhandle were still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Sally, which roared ashore Wednesday, causing at least two deaths. The hurricane caused about $2 billion in privately insured losses from wind and storm surge, Boston-based disaster modeling firm Karen Clark & Company estimated. That

doesn’t include uninsured losses, the National Flood Insurance Program claims or damage to offshore property, like oil rigs. Meanwhile, tropical storm winds and big waves battered Bermuda on Monday as Hurricane Teddy approached. The storm was expected to pass east of the wealthy British territory as it headed to Nova Scotia, which was under a tropical storm warning from Lower East Pubnico to Main-a-Dieu. Teddy was about 150 miles east-southeast of Bermuda on Monday morning. It had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph and was moving north-northeast at 14 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The large hurricane was expected to pass some 120 miles (193 kilometers) east-southeast of Bermuda around noon Monday at its closest point. The government closed all air and sea ports, schools and government offices for the second time in a week. Hurricane Paulette made landfall in Bermuda on Sept. 14, knocking down trees and leaving thousands without power.

Trump backs deal to keep TikTok operating in states NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday he’s given his “blessing” to a proposed deal that would see the popular video-sharing app TikTok partner with Oracle and Walmart and form a U.S. company. Trump has targeted Chinese-owned TikTok for national security and data privacy concerns in the latest flashpoint in the rising tensions between Washington and Beijing. The president’s support for a deal comes just a day after the Commerce Department announced restrictions that if put in place could eventually make it nearly impossible for TikTok’s legions of younger fans to use the app. Trump said if completed the deal would create a new company likely to be based in Texas. “I have given the deal my blessing,” he said. “If they get it done, that’s great. If they don’t, that’s OK too.” Trump said the new

company will be hiring at least 25,000 people and making a $5 billion contribution to a fund dedicated to education for Americans. “That’s their contribution that I’ve been asking for,” he said. TikTok said Oracle and Walmart could acquire up to a cumulative 20% stake in the new company in a financing round to be held before an initial public offering of stock, which Walmart said could happen within the next year. Oracle’s stake would be 12.5%, and Walmart’s would be 7.5%, the companies said in separate statements. The deal will make Oracle responsible for hosting all TikTok’s U.S. user data and securing computer systems to ensure U.S. national security requirements are satisfied. Walmart said it will provide its ecommerce, fulfillment, payments and other services to the new company. “We are pleased that the proposal by TikTok, Oracle,

and Walmart will resolve the security concerns of the U.S. administration and settle questions around TikTok’s future in the U.S.,” TikTok said in a statement. Trump has been demanding that the U.S. operations of TikTok be sold to a U.S. company or else be shut down. He’s also been targeting WeChat, another Chinese-owned app. The administration contends that the user data collected by the two apps could be shared with the Chinese government. On Saturday, Trump said the U.S.-based TikTok “will have nothing to do with China.” TikTok says it has 100 million U.S. users. On Friday, the U.S. Commerce Department said it would bar TikTok from U.S. app stores as of late Sunday. Further restrictions that would prevent TikTok from accessing essential internet services in the country would go into effect on Nov. 12. Commerce said Saturday that it will delay

the barring of TikTok from U.S. app stores until Sept. 27 at 11:59 p.m. Commerce is imposing similar restrictions on WeChat, although all of the restrictions on that app are set to go into effect Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. Earlier Saturday, WeChat users asked a U.S. judge to block the government’s actions, saying they would restrict free speech. WeChat is an all-in-one app with instant-messaging, social media and other communication tools. The U.S. government argued that it is not restricting free speech because WeChat users still “are free to speak on alternative platforms that do not pose a national security threat.” U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler asked lawyers for the government and WeChat users whether the prohibitions would cripple WeChat as soon as the clock ticked from Sunday night into Monday morning without a resolution. An attorney

for the government said they would likely lead to a “degradation” of WeChat over time. Judge Beeler did not rule immediately on the motion. WeChat has millions of U.S. users who rely on the app to stay in touch and conduct business with people and companies in China and around the world. In court filings, the founder of the Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities, who is a U.S. citizen in California, said that the group’s primary tool to reach out and provide services to Chinese Americans is WeChat. “Since many of the Chinese community members we serve are not fluent in English, WeChat is the only online tool that they rely on,” Elaine Peng said. The Trump administration’s aggressive tactics are part of its latest attempt to counter the influence of China, a rising economic superpower. Since taking

office in 2017, Trump has waged a trade war with China, blocked mergers involving Chinese companies and stifled the business of Chinese firms like Huawei, a maker of phones and telecom equipment. China-backed hackers, meanwhile, have been blamed for data breaches of U.S. federal databases and the credit agency Equifax, and the Chinese government strictly limits what U.S. tech companies can do in China. China’s ministry of commerce condemned the U.S. moves and urged it to stop what it called bullying behavior. It also said China may take “necessary measures” to protect Chinese companies. The U.S. Treasury Department said Saturday that TikTok’s deal still needs to close with Oracle and Walmart, and it also needs documentation and conditions to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

Feds threaten funds to Portland, Seattle and NYC over unrest WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department identified New York City, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle as three cities that could have federal funding slashed under a memorandum by President Donald Trump that sought to identify localities that permit “anarchy, violence and destruction in American cities.” The designation, which could open the door for the federal government to cut off some funding to the cities, drew immediate criticism from local elected officials. It comes as Trump throughout the summer has cast American cities run by Democratic mayors as under siege by violence and

lawlessness, despite the fact that most of the demonstrations against racial injustice have been largely peaceful. An attempt to cut off federal funding to the cities would likely be met with immediate legal challenges and several federal judges ruled in favor of municipalities over similar attempts to withhold funding tied to immigration policies. The Justice Department said the three cities were designated because they meet four main criteria, including “whether a jurisdiction forbids the police force from intervening to restore order amid widespread or sustained violence or destruction”

and whether the city “disempowers or defunds police departments.” In Seattle, officials pointed to the “occupied” protest zone, also known as the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” zone, or CHOP, which emerged during nationwide protests over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, though Seattle police officers wearing helmets and wielding batons and rifles, cleared the area by force on July 1. In Portland, they pointed to 100 consecutive nights of protests “marred by vandalism, chaos, and even killing” and in New York City, the Justice Department pointed to a skyrocketing number

of shootings throughout the five boroughs. It is not the first time the Justice Department has attempted to take action against city officials for the violent demonstrations. The department also explored whether it could pursue either criminal or civil rights charges against city officials in Portland after clashes erupted there night after night between law enforcement and demonstrators. For weeks, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the federal courthouse in Portland, some throwing bricks,

rocks and other projectiles at officers, leading officers to fire volleys of tear gas and pepper balls at the crowd. “When state and local leaders impede their own law enforcement officers and agencies from doing their jobs, it endangers innocent citizens who deserve to be protected, including those who are trying to peacefully assemble and protest,” Attorney General William Barr said in a statement. “We cannot allow federal tax dollars to be wasted when the safety of

the citizenry hangs in the balance.” Barr said he hoped the designation would convince the cities to “reverse course and become serious about performing the basic function of government and start protecting their own citizens.” The attorney general’s statement drew immediate condemnation from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo, both Democrats, who accused the Trump administration of politicization of law enforcement.

After smoke clears, Portland protests resume PORTLAND (AP) — Protesters returned to the streets of Portland, Oregon, following a dayslong pause largely due to poor air quality from wildfires on the West Coast. Police declared an unlawful assembly Friday night in a neighborhood near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building where protesters had marched, according to a police statement. Demonstrators participated in criminal activity and threw items at officers, police said, leading to 11 arrests. Photos show that smoke was used to clear the crowd, and it appeared that tear gas was deployed. Police initially tweeted that tear gas was on the list of crowd control agents if people did not disperse, but the tweet was later deleted, KOIN-TV reported. Another tweet was issued that didn’t mention tear gas. “No, we are required by

law to make that warning,” Portland Sgt. Kevin Allen told the television station when asked about the initial tweet. “PPB is still prevented from using tear gas.” Less than two weeks ago the mayor of Portland ordered police to stop using tear gas for crowd control during the frequently violent protests that racked the city for more than three months after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, was tear gassed when he went to a demonstration against the presence of federal authorities dispatched to the city to protect federal property. He said he still wants police to respond aggressively to prevent violence and vandalism. Hundreds of people have been arrested since the protests started in May. Demonstrators had not gathered in the city since at least Sept. 9, when police

and protesters clashed near City Hall. Wildfires have spewed dangerously dirty air across Oregon, California and Washington state, and sent haze across the country. The protesters in Portland want city officials to slash the police budget and reallocate that money to Black residents and businesses. Some demonstrators are also demanding the resignation of Wheeler, a white man and the scion of a timber company fortune. In clashes with police, some protesters have broken windows, set small fires, punctured police car tires, shined lasers in officers’ eyes and pelted them with rocks and frozen water bottles. Police criticized Wheeler’s move, saying in a statement that it could force them to employ potentially more dangerous crowd control measures to quell violent demonstrations.

This week in Coos County history: September 20-22 100 YEARS — 1920 Fair a success in every way Attendance larger than ever before Association will come out even financially and may have surplus left The Coos and Curry fair at Myrtle Point was a success from every standpoint. The finances have not yet been figured out, but the association will at least break even and may have a surplus over. The fair was the best that has ever been given in this county. The attendance was the largest of any years past and the live stock exhibits were particularly fine. Six of the communities in the county had special displays. They were Bridge, Arago, Norway, Dew Valley, Langlois and Broadbent. Altogether the managers of the fair were greatly pleased with the result and at having given the best fair in every way ever arranged in this county. Blooded cattle were taken out last evening County display will also be made and butter and cheese will be entered Twenty head of blooded cattle were taken last night from Coos county to Salem to exhibit at the state fair. There will be ten head of Holsteins from the Coos Bay section and ten head of Jerseys from the Coquille valley. Those exhibiting the Holsteins will be Dr. George E. Dix, L.J. Simpson, Archie Phillip, W.G. Ingram, Herbert Haynes and Julius Kruse. Those who will send Jerseys are Olof Aasen of Arago, Ralph Bunn of Arago, T.P. Hanley of Bandon, W.C. Cutler of Myrtle Point, Adam Buthardt of Norway, George E. Hampton of Arago, John Carl of Aragon, Finley Schroeder of Norway, and Theodore Clinton of Norway. John Lillabalad, herdsman for T.P.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman John Dellenback told The World today of the three-hour meeting he held in Charleston and North Bend Sunday with Coast Guard representatives and Neil Spencer, Winchester Bay seafood processor. While the meeting was being held, a Coast Guard helicopter stationed at North Bend Airport to survey the Southwestern Oregon coast received a report of a Russian fishing vessel thought to be in violation of the 12-mile limit. The helicopter immediately launched and located the vessel. It was found to be 15 ½ miles off the Oregon coast, by plotting the position at Coast Guard headquarters in Charleston. The helicopter returned to base and Dellenback talked with the pilots on procedures of the survey, Dellenback inspected facilities at the airport and the helicopter. The helicopter will be stationed in North Bend until Sept. 30. Dellenback told Spencer he hoped to deter violations of the 12-mile limit during the time the helicopter is stationed in the area, and more importantly, “we hope to see in detail the value both for fishing vio-

NBL Ladies finish 2nd in Sea Breeze Classic

20 YEARS — 2000

It can only be regarded as a nice trend when more of the prize money in Bay Bowl’s Sea Breeze Classic finds its way into local pockets. Not only did a women’s team from the Bay Area finish in the till for the second straight year, but this time a men’s team also divided a share of the winnings. The championship teams were from other cities — Lamb & Lamb of Beaverton in the men’s division and Emerald Lanes of Eugene in the ladies’, each won rather handily. Lamb & Lamb was tops in pinfall (11598), posted the best won-lost record (10-2), and checked in 4 ½ points ahead of the runner-up team, Coin-A-Mattic of Roseburg. The Beaverton team collected 69 points, to Coin-A-Matic’s 64 ½, and in third place came a squad from the Coos Bay-North Bend Bowling Association, the Five Stars with 62. Emerald Lanes breezed in nine points ahead of runner-up North Bend Lanes, but not because there was that much difference in pinfall. The North Bend ladies trailed by only 45 total pins, 8751-to8706, and finished three points ahead of Dr. Bernard’s of Portland. The Five Stars divided $250 for their efforts and the NBL ladies divided $200. Mona Alford of Emerald Lanes recorded the glossiest game during the two-day event, a 268 which topped even the men. Andy Anderson of Lakeshore Lanes and Ron Babjar of First Bowl each had a 267 to lead the men. A 240 game by Gene Crowder was best for the Five Stars — and local bowlers from other teams as well. Chet Price, John Davis, Fred Dean and Verle Inman rounded out the “Stars” line-up. Dean had games of 225 and 223, and Inman registered 224 and 222 singles. Among the other local men, Arnie Cullum had a 234 and Bob Starnes had a 231. Gene Dagostini posted 200 games five

Port Orford’s residents vote to keep police PORT ORFORD — Port Orford residents voted to keep their police force Tuesday. By a wide margin, voters approved a local tax levy to provide $91,796 a year to fund the city’s two-man police department. The final unofficial tally was 307 in favor and 167 against, according to the Curry County Elections Office. Total voter turnout was 65 percent of the 726 ballots sent out to registered voters. The five-year levy will provide the bulk of funding for the police department, with the remainder coming from grants and other sources. The city has budgeted $186,920 this fiscal year for the police department, City Manager Martha Weaver said earlier this month.

Miller first in Pre Run for Kids Millicoma eighth grader Shawn Miller ran away with the title in the fall Pre Run for Kids on Sunday in Coos Bay.
