8 virus cases at Shutter Creek ZACH SILVA The World

The Charleston Ice House can no longer function to provide fishermen with ice for their catch following a fire that gutted the building on Dec. 19, 2019. The International Port of Coos Bay is working on a long-term solution.

Ice plant rebuild project AMANDA LINARES The World

CHARLESTON — Some local businesses are frustrated with the new layout of the Ice Plant, which burned down in December and is in the process of being rebuilt. Mike Babcock, of Oregon Seafoods, is leading a group of local businesses and fishermen who he said feel left out of the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay’s new Ice Plant Rebuild Project. According to Babcock, the only tenant on the dock that houses the ice plant, the new layout proposed by Port officials limits dock space and makes it difficult for commercial trucks to safely enter the area to load and unload equipment. “Our company hoist is on the northwest corner of the dock and the public hoist is in the northeast corner of the dock,” said Babcock. “The new building, which shows it’s been moved over to the north side, severely limits the corner use of the dock.” The dock, which houses the ice plant, has historically been used for other reasons outside of fishermen accessing commercial grade ice, said Babcock. On multiple occasions, he explained people would access the hoists on both or either corner of the dock as well as the ice shoot often at the same time. With the new layout having a larger footprint and being shifted closer to the north side of the dock, the once multi-use propo-

Mike Babcock, of Oregon Seafoods, shows scale drawings he created and presented to the Port of Coos Bay Commissioners earlier this month. Babcock has identified space limitations and challenges he says will interfere with companies like his who use the dock regularly. nents of the dock will no longer exist, he said. “I don’t think they realized the impact (the new layout) is going to have to the other uses of the dock including dock ice sales, the public hoist and our company-owned hoist,” said Babcock. “It’s going to limit those operations and it’s going to affect several generations to come. This rebuild is a huge deal. It isn’t something that we have to try to Band-Aid over.”

A total loss Last December, a fire destroyed the over 40-year-old ice plant structure, which is located across from the U.S. Coast Guard Station. After it was declared a total constructive loss, Port officials began work to create and implement a short-term

and long-term plan to return ice services to the local fishing fleet. A declaration of emergency was passed shortly after the incident to begin efforts to minimize the impacts to local fishermen and rebuild the facility. According to Margaret Barber, the director of external affairs with the Port of Coos Bay, a series of public meetings with the Charleston’s commercial fleet as well as meetings with individual stakeholders was held over the past few months to bring their input into the design phase of the new ice plant. The meetings were held with the goal of meeting the needs of all the stakeholders involved to the greatest extent possible, she explained. The Port she added worked closely with the fishing fleet to rebuild the plant as expeditiously as possible.

“Access to commercial grade flake ice is critical to certain fisheries landed in Charleston,” Barber wrote in an email. “As such, rebuilding the facility to accommodate that need has been a top priority for the Port.” A meeting held at the Charleston Marina RV Park on Feb. 27 was the only public meeting Babcock said he was aware of. The meeting, which he attended, was presented to visitors as more of an informational session and to update to community of what the Port had been working on rather than to gain input, he said. “During the meeting they talked about equipment suppliers, increase capacities, funding, insurance and timeframes, but they didn’t really talk about different dock uses,” said Babcock. “There were some people in the audience who brought this up about the historical use of the dock and what their plan was?” It was at that meeting Babcock said he expressed his concerns of the new layout to Port officials and along with fellow industry colleagues including Rick Goche, owner of Sacred Sea Tuna and Port of Bandon Commissioner.

Businesses reach out Goche, who has over 10 years’ experience working on the dock in Charleston that houses the ice plant and also works with Babcock’s company to process the pouches that hold his product, said he too is concerned over the limited space on the dock as Please see Rebuild, Page A8

Fishing charter hopes to weather virus ZACH SILVA The World

CHARLESTON — It started with coffee at sunrise. Then whatever paperwork needed to be completed and, before you know it, out on the ocean catching fish. For John Blanchard of Sharky’s Charters, this has been a typical day. All year long people flocked to his fishing charter outside of Coos Bay to get out on the water and catch salmon, tuna, halibut or anything else that was in season at the time. But, much like everything over the past month, this regular day has been completely uprooted. As the novel coronavirus

has caused businesses across the country to close, Blanchard is now worried about if his will be able to open back up. “I don’t know. I suppose I will start having to sell things. I don’t know how long I can, really — I don’t know,” said Blanchard when asked about what is next. “It’s unknown to me. I will go until I can... I guess at some point I have to come up with a plan on how I’m going to pay bills and go forward. It’s just where are the jobs now? How do you go get a job here at the coast? It was hard to get a job beforehand. I guess I would have to start looking for work or doing something.”

HAUSER — Four additional adults in custody have tested positive for the novel coronavirus at Shutter Creek Correctional Institution. The announcement was made Thursday by the Oregon Department of Corrections, bringing the total cases at the facility and in Coos County to eight. This is now the highest amount of confirmed cases of adults in custody in the state. As of deadline, it is unclear when the latest four cases will be transported to a facility that has 24/7 medical care. Recent cases had been promptly brought to new locations. According to an adult in custody at Shutter Creek, all four cases came from the same dorm that had produced the initial four cases. “It’s kind of nerve-racking because we’re watching it get worse,” said Jordon Dean, an adult in custody at Shutter Creek. “We’re all waiting to get sick because we do come in contact with surfaces and areas where these guys have been going.” On Thursday, Oregon Health Authority reported that 19 additional tests will soon be completed at Shutter Creek. “There is no reason to believe there won’t be more cases,” Brian Leon, an epidemiologist with Coos Health and Wellness stated earlier this week when just three cases had been confirmed.

Governor to lift delay on medical procedures SALEM (AP) — Hospitals, dentists’ offices and other healthcare providers can resume attending to patients for non-urgent procedures on May 1, and Oregon is expecting “extremely large shipments” of protective masks and gowns, Gov. Kate Brown said Thursday. However, health officials warned that Oregon, along with many other states, still lacks adequate testing capability to isolate and quash pockets of outbreaks of the coronavirus. Brown told reporters at a virtual news conference that around 8,000 tests are now being conducted weekly and that number will need to more than double. “Testing is critical, and it’s pretty clear we don’t have enough, we need more,” Dr. Bruce Goldberg of the governor’s Medical Advisory Panel said. “We need to have robust contact tracing. And these are vital, vital pieces to allow us to continue to keep people safe and to start to approach some degree of normalcy.” Meanwhile, the Legislature’s Emergency Board allocated more than $30 million to provide relief to Oregonians impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The money will fund rental assistance, a worker relief fund, Please see Governor, Page A3

posed to COVID-19. With local leisure and hospitality industries suffering the most job losses, most of which includes accommodation and food services, over the past four weeks, the commissioners on Wednesday expressed their interests in seeing jobs restored and the local economy reopen. After some back and forth discussion, the board voted unanimously on a motion to let the order lapse and to send out a public notice informing local businesses and citizens of the expiration. The motion also included directives, which came from the City of Coos Bay, to pass on to short-term rental and lodging facilities within the county to follow as they begin to reopen.

The directives, outlined in an email sent by Coos Bay City Manager Rodger Craddock, include following state and federal safety measures that were put in place earlier this spring to stop and slow down the spread of COVID-19. The Coos Bay City Council, which passed a resolution requesting lodging facilities to restrict services to essential and other indicated persons, will also revisit its resolution next month at a meeting scheduled for May 5. Hotels and other shortterm lodging facilities are to provide masks for their staff and guests, practice social distancing guidelines, to continue heighten sanitation of bathrooms and other common areas and to shut down access to

their pools and spas. “What we don’t want to do is draw a bunch of tourists to the area, but the county is going to have to reopen for business at some point,” said Coos County Commissioner Melissa Cribbins at Wednesday’s meeting. “I talked to somebody from Bay Area Hospital today, I’ve talked to healthcare providers, I’ve talked to hoteliers and I’ve talked to city council people.” “(I’ve) explain (to them) what we were talking about and what we were thinking and explain about Rodger’s request for the masks and everybody thinks it seems reasonable and thinks we’ll be able to handle this.” The board also discussed possibly joining a coor-

dinated regional effort to reopen more businesses in the area in the next coming weeks. A motion to sign a letter from the Douglas County Board of Commissioners to Gov. Kate Brown was also approved Wednesday which seeks consent from the state to being participating in the first phase of reopening the economy as outlined by the federal government. The letter included reopening Coos, Douglas, Curry, Jackson and Josephine counties effective April 25. A number of guidelines set forth by the federal and state government would be followed to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. The board voted 3-0 to sign the letter.

Reedsport Main Street Program to help businesses ADAM ROBERTSON The World

REEDSPORT — With the state’s stay-at-home orders keeping many businesses closed for over a month, the Reedsport Main Street Program has been looking for ways to help local businesses survive the pandemic. The Main Street Program recently issued a survey to local businesses, checking which ones are still open and how they’re doing during the situation.

The survey states they want to help the local businesses and ensure they come back thriving. “The information you provide will also help us to inform state-wide agencies of the impacts of COVID-19 in our community and then advocate to state and national policy makers,” states the survey. According to Emily Bradley, with the MSP, all respondents said they’re concerned about staying open during the setback. However, other specific

needs differ from one business to another. The MSP is hoping to help businesses where they can to keep them strong and to offer relief against the situation where they can. They’re looking at funding sources other than Urban Renewal dollars and COVID-19 relief grants from other entities. “RMSP is unfortunately limited in the way it can spend a lot of its fund because we are funded largely through the Urban Renewal District,” said

Bradley. “We’re doing the best we can to keep business owners informed without overwhelming them, and their inbox, with information from all directions.” More information on the RMSP’s COVID-19 response is available on its website, reedsportmainstreet.com. They have links for business resources, employee and workforce assistance, information for the community, as well as information on the CARES Act.

Virus cases add to worries at Shutter Creek ZACH SILVA The World

HAUSER — Regardless of what it is called — dorm, barracks, unit — C3 at Shutter Creek Correctional Institution is full of people who are sick. As of Thursday, there are eight positive cases of coronavirus reported at Shutter Creek. These are the only cases in Coos County so far. And all had been from C3. At Shutter Creek, the minimum security correctional facility outside of North Bend, there are roughly 300 adults in custody. Each dorm area sleeps about 100 people on bunk beds in an open-floor setting. When social distancing is impossible for the area that you are in for about 20 hours per day, disease spreads. And the coronavirus is spreading. “We’re stuck in the situation and there’s nothing we can do,” said Matt Barrett, an adult in custody, on a phone call with The World last week. Barrett is in C3.

Coronavirus comes to Shutter Creek The first positive case of coronavirus at Shutter Creek was announced by the Oregon Department of Corrections on April 10; that individual transferred in on March 11. Transfers into Shutter Creek were put on hold on April 7. Coos Health and Wellness has been conducting

The service is through Lower Umpqua Hospital with local providers. It should also be clarified that primary care providers and surgeons are being housed in Dunes Family Health Care. They are still available and all patients will go there for service.

an investigation, including talking to about 100 employees, into how the coronavirus came into Shutter Creek. While as of now it is unclear where the first case came from at this facility, Coos Health and Wellness believe that the most recent cases came from the initial case. “Because of the range of incubation period, I would say it is much more likely that the second and the third case would have gotten it from the first. Opposed to the third getting it from the second because they were really close together,” said Brian Leon, an epidemiologist from Coos Health and Wellness. The question then becomes how many other people, both adults in custody and possibly employees, have been infected? While protocols have been put in place to combat the spread of the coronavirus, there is a limit on what can be done in a congregate setting. “They might be trying to do social distancing but it’s impossible how this place is set up,” one adult in custody relayed to a family member. Masks have been given out but are not always worn; tape has been put on the ground to help promote social distance but that’s only for when units are walking from place to place; time spent outside was cut down but now adults in custody stay in their dorms with everyone else. “I eat food next to,

completely surrounded, by people. If you’re sitting in a middle table you got maybe nine people or more all within less than six feet. That’s how we eat every day,” an adult in custody wrote. “And we all touch the same pitchers of water to pour our glasses to drink and every day they feed us food we need to eat with our hands. French fries, sandwiches, corndogs, tacos, burritos, a lot of items are given to us with tortilla shells, muffins, bread items and the list goes on.” Hand sanitizer has been given out but its effectiveness has been questioned. “He said it’s questionable if it’s good enough because somebody sprayed it in another guy’s eye and it did nothing,” said a sibling of an adult in custody.

Communications Manager with the Department of Corrections in an email to The World on Thursday. “DOCs medical doctors have confirmed that the institution has enough testing material. (Adults in custody) presenting with symptoms of COVID-19 are screened by DOC’s health care providers. Testing is determined by designated health care providers for each DOC institution, in accordance with guidance from DOC’s Chief of Medicine and Infectious Disease Specialist, consistent with CDC and OHA clinical guidelines.”

As of Friday, 13 adults in custody at the facility had been tested for coronavirus and an estimated 20 employees. The discrepancy in tests stems from the fact that employees have the ability to get tested via their own medical providers. Adults in custody rely on the state and, according to the Oregon Health Authority, the state lab can conduct 80 tests per day for the entire state. On Tuesday, Oregon Health Authority updated testing guidelines for congregate settings across the state. “In addition, if supplies

allow, asymptomatic people within the congregate care or group living systems can be considered for testing,” the new guideline read. This means a possible increase in tests at Shutter Creek for those who have been exposed to the coronavirus. Leon of Coos Health and Wellness noted that this could possibly mean tests from Shutter Creek would be sent to private labs. On Thursday, the Department of Corrections told The World that testing will be expanding in the facility including both targeting and random testing and that there will be 19 additional tests soon. As of deadline, Shutter Creek had not replied to questions regarding the amount of tests given each day. Additionally, according to the “Agency Administration Organizational Chart” on the Department of Corrections website, which was updated on February 6, Shutter Creek is the only correctional facility in the state that is without a superintendent. The World reached out to the Department of Corrections on not having a superintendent and had not heard back by deadline. Regardless of new tests coming in, the Department of Corrections stated that there has not been an issue in amount of tests being given. “There is no limit on the number of tests (Shutter Creek Correctional Institution) can administer to the (adults in custody) per day,” wrote Jennifer Black,

Adults in custody at Shutter Creek have reported a host of concerns around testing, including that there is a limited amount available. On Tuesday night a group of six individuals from C3 who stated they were suffering from symptoms of coronavirus went to go and get tested. “Six of us just went and got checked. Medical called us, told us we’re fine to come back to our dorm. They would like to test us all but they don’t have any tests right now but when they get some they’ll test us. Until then we are back here infecting everyone on our unit,” read a message from an adult in custody. Earlier in the week, there was also concern about adults in custody underre-

porting their symptoms so that they were not sent to isolation. Barrett, an adult in custody from C3, said on Tuesday that there were anywhere between 15 and 20 individuals in his unit that appeared to be showing symptoms who did not want to turn themselves in. “A lot of people, I think, are afraid to say anything about their symptoms because they were sending people into segregation, into quarantine. And they don’t want to be stripped away of television and stuff like that. It’s kind of selfish but we’re in prison and that’s the way people are,” said Jordon Dean, an adult in custody on the floor below C3. Since those fears, multiple inmates have reported that a unit that was previously used for educational opportunities has shifted into a new dorm for individuals who are showing symptoms. Even with the new area, that has not been confirmed by those at Shutter Creek, there were still testing concerns as of Thursday. “One guy I talked to said he went to medical yesterday and they talked him out of getting a test done because, ‘It would only get worse [if you were transferred to] Coffee Creek,’” wrote Barrett. “Another person said they went to medical to get tested and he was told that they were done for the day and will catch up sometime tomorrow.”

Oregon due to the pandemic. All Democrats on the 20-member board voted to provide the $10 million. All Republicans voted no except Sen. Bill Hansell, of Athena, and Rep. Greg Smith, of Heppner, who advocated for “compassion.” Brown’s March 19 executive order cancelling non-urgent, elective procedures — or postponing them to June 15 and beyond — was aimed at ensuring a supply of masks

and other PPE for those on the front-lines in diagnosing and treating COVID-19 patients. But starting May 1, those facilities can resume such treatments so long as they minimize the risk of coronavirus transmission, maintain adequate hospital capacity in the event of a surge in COVID-19 cases and demonstrate that they have enough PPE for healthcare workers. “We will be watching to make sure that staff on

the front lines have access to the appropriate level of personal protective equipment, masks, gloves and gowns,” Brown said. It was a step in reopening Oregon. Many Republicans representing rural areas have pushed for a reopening. Senate GOP leader Herman Baertschiger, of Grants Pass, said Monday “we can’t stay in our homes forever.” Christine Drazan, leader of the minority Republicans in the Oregon House,

said Thursday: “While this is just a small step toward getting Oregon back to work, it is an important one.” Hospitals and other facilities have been hurt financially and healthcare workers are also among the highest workforce segment seeking unemployment benefits. Becky Hultberg, president of the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, said it is determining how hospitals can best meet the conditions outlined.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘I am so proud of us’ Dear Coos Bay/NorthBend area, I am so proud of us. I am admittedly a bit biased as I was born and raised here. Nonetheless, we are a special and unique place! Our area, by design, has been isolated to prevent us from being an economic threat to other cities in our state. This has contributed to our financial woes through the years, but has protected the pristine beauty of nature here. It may also have prevented a greater exposure to the Covid-19 virus. We do not know what the impact will be from the pandemic or what the future holds, but what we do know is; we’re all in this together. To make it through we will need to ‘have each other’s back’ in an unprecedented way in our community. We are so fortunate to have fishermen (and women), dairymen, farmers, ranchers, and master gardeners here, and are surrounded by good land and water to help us all be food secure. Please buy locally when ever possible to help our neighbor’s businesses. If you know how to garden, would you consider planting extra this year to help out friends, and teach others how to raise vegetables; keeping social distancing of course. If you have land, but are not skilled at raising crops or livestock, would you allow your property to be used and share the harvest? Are you skilled at raising backyard chickens, will you teach others how? Or perhaps build coops, or donate supplies for them. Do you know how to cook from scratch, will you teach your neighbor, and employ ‘no waste’ cooking techniques? What other ways can we help each other survive and thrive? Currently a great concern is for our small businesses that are struggling, and may be failing. How can we save them? I do not know where to begin, or how to go about helping each other. The worldlink or facebook may be a great place to teach others how to plant a seed, or let us know of a need. May we adapt and adopt the armed forces motto of ‘never leaving a man, woman, or child behind;’ or in want. Thank you for reading this, and considering how to help our friends and neighbors during this uncertain time. “Grandma” Rose Bloom Semi-retired community member Objections over ‘so-called’ environmental protection agenices While Jon Barton and I are still polar opposites when it comes to non-sustainable industrial and resource development like LNG I am much relieved to find that we do agree on something. Like Jon, I am embarrassed by and appalled by our intellectually incurious and narcissistic president, Donald Trump. For someone who speaks almost entirely in hyperbole, Trump suffers from a severe shortage of adjectives. “Tremendous, fabulous, greatest ...” Argh! Someone please send that man a thesaurus. Jon and I also share a dislike of the environmental regulatory system although for entirely different reasons. My objections stem from the fact that so-called environmental protection agencies literally legalize pollution and harm, a fact that seems to escape most environmentalists. The government grants permits to enable corporations to act in a way that favors profit over prudence. Companies are allowed to pollute our air and water and we can’t even sue them when they poison our rivers and damage our health because the government sanctioned the damage.

Jon, on the other hand, wants to streamline the process of granting companies the privilege of profiting at the expense of the planet and our children and grandchildren and generations thereafter for a few nice quarterly returns in the short term. Mary Geddry Coquille Earth Day over and no global warming Sir: Earth day 50 is just over and I see that some people actually believe the world is coming to an end due to global warming. Wow, after 50 years of predictions in which the environmentalists have been wrong EVERY time, how can you believe them now? Michael Moore has a new movie out, I challenge anyone to watch it. It is on You Tube for free but is an hour and 40 minutes long. The movie is called “Planet of the Humans” if you care watch, but I warn you, if you have an open mind to the actual truth your ideas about renewable energy are going to change. We have now been through 22 years of no global warming but the beat goes on. I ask you all, what are you willing to do without to save the planet? Your car? Air travel? Food? Heating your home? Just what will you be willing to do on a personal level to help the cause? Mr. Editor, thanks for the chance to discuss the issues of the day, a good newspaper over all. Michael Nagy North Bend ‘A change of leadership is in order’ The residents and businesses of Coos County have done an excellent job overall of safe practices regarding the Covid-19 virus. It is unfortunate after all the sacrifices we have made, the incompetence of leadership within the State Government; specifically leadership within the Department of Corrections; has led to the virus coming into our County. I realize it was likely a matter of time, and that it is possible asymptomatic people may already be carrying the virus in the County. But for the State of Oregon to not practice what they have been preaching to us is disturbing. Specifically asking us not to travel unnecessarily. However, for some unjustifiable reason, they decide to transport a couple dozen inmates from the valley into our local state prison (Shutter Creek) during this epidemic. I understand they need to move inmates around due to release and incarceration, but to do it without first testing or and quarantine for a couple weeks prior to sending them to a County with no known positive Covid-19 cases is nothing but irresponsible. Personally, I believe whoever at the leadership level is responsible, should be relieved of their position. Anyone with common sense knows the risk inmates pose with the spread of the disease. It will most likely continue to spread throughout the inmate population (which will suffer greatly) as well as the staff. From the staff it will go into our community if it has not already. I appreciate they have stopped bringing inmates into the Shutter Creek facility but it is really too late....the damage has been done. Normally I try to come up with a solution to a problem; but in this case I can only think a change of leadership is in order, most likely someone in Salem at the top in corrections. The local Shutter Creek leadership would normally be taking orders from the leadership in Salem and therefore likely not complicit in the incompetence leading up to this very unfortunate situation.

The president and the protesters President Trump has said many misguided and misleading things since the coronavirus started strangling America. Remember this brilliant prediction? “It’s going to disappear,” he said back in February. “One day, it’s like a miracle -- it will disappear.” But few of his words have been as reckless, and downright dangerous, as his exhortation to protesters to “liberate” states like Michigan and Virginia from the stay-at-home orders his own experts have been promoting. This craziness -- the only word for it -- has left even Republican governors like Larry Hogan of Maryland sputtering in disbelief. “I don’t think it’s helpful to encourage demonstrations and encourage people to go against the president’s own policy,” he said on CNN. “It just doesn’t make any sense.” No, it doesn’t. As Hogan said in a press briefing, “If the recovery is not done in a thoughtful and responsible way, it will not only cost lives, but it will deepen the economic crisis and actually prolong the problems and slow our recovery.” Fortunately, the public has more sense than the president. In the new Wall Street Journal/ NBC poll, 58% said they feared the government would “move too quickly” to lift restrictions on everyday life. Only 32% backed the president’s view, expressing worry that officials would “take too long” in restoring normalcy. Trump’s often false and fumbling response to the crisis has undermined his credibility. Only 36% said they trust the president as a source of information, compared to 66% who believe their own governor. Even though Joe Biden, the all-but-certain Democratic nominee, has disappeared into his basement in Delaware, 47% say they trust him to handle a crisis like COVID-19, compared to 38% for Trump.

STEVEN V. ROBERTS What does this all mean? It’s now obvious that Trump would rather run for president than actually run the country. Long gone are the days when he proclaimed himself to be a “wartime president” with “total” authority to respond to the pandemic. Instead, he’s abdicated his responsibility, repeatedly telling governors it was up to them to manage testing and tracking protocols and find the equipment they need. So it was Maryland’s Hogan, not Trump, who found and purchased 500,000 test kits from South Korea. Meanwhile, the president has turned his White House briefings into campaign rallies and reality shows, boasting about his ratings and measuring success by one monomaniacal metric only: his personal popularity. In explaining his support for demonstrators who challenged his own policies, Trump said, “I think they listen to me. They seem to be protesters that like me.” Clearly, Trump is most comfortable as an insurgent, not an insider; a protester, not a president. He thrives as a rallying point for the populist outrage that spilled into the streets of state capitals like Lansing, Michigan, and Raleigh, North Carolina. But it’s hard to storm the castle, brandishing torches and pitchforks, when you actually live in the castle.

“Mobilizing anger and mistrust toward the government was a crucial factor for Mr. Trump in the last presidential campaign,” writes Maggie Haberman in the New York Times. “The problem? Mr. Trump is now president, and disowning responsibility for his administration’s slow and problem-plagued response to the coronavirus could prove difficult.” Yes, we are a freedom-loving nation that prizes individual liberty, and yes, the rules imposed on people to battle the virus can restrict their rights, sometimes unfairly. But Americans value community as well as liberty. We understand that all rights have limits, and that we owe an obligation to our friends and neighbors, not just ourselves. We wear face masks in grocery stores to protect others -- clerks, cashiers, fellow shoppers -- from the harm we could do to them, not what they could do to us. That’s why 4 out of 5 Americans tell a Harvard survey that social distancing is working, and why 64% favor continuation of shelter-in-place rules, while only 36% want the country to “begin going back to work.” The economic pain caused by the pandemic is very real, and leaders at every level must move as quickly as possible to alleviate that pain. But their actions must make medical and scientific sense. Responding to popular protests for political reasons makes no sense at all. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told ABC that the fall election will be a “referendum” on whether Trump “handled this virus in a way that helped the American people, protected lives and moved us forward.” So far the public’s answer is a resounding “no.” (Steven Roberts teaches politics and journalism at George Washington University.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR-cont. On the Simpson Park tree removal I am writing one more letter regarding the badly-conceived and mostly unnecessary tree cutting in North Bend’s Simpson Park. I was wrong about the age of the big redwoods, believing they might have been planted by City founder L.J. Simpson, and I believe the City is equally wrong in continuing to state no tree being cut is older than 34 years. If a state agency determined otherwise in 2011, it’s news to me. Where is the document? As a Parks Advisory Board member since its inception in 1999, I was particularly familiar with this park. My first act as a Board member was to personally clear out the ivy and brush jungle that enveloped the redwood grove area on the north side of the Visitors’ Center and the public restrooms. It was dangerous for women and kids at the time. I remember no young trees in the park. Councilor Graham, who grew up near the park, told me that Lyle Chappell, who lived by the park, had planted many of the trees. What he didn’t share with me was that Lyle Chappell was a star basketball player, a State debate champion, a City Recorder, City Councilor, City Mayor and City Postmaster! On that basis, with help from Dick and Judy Wager and Steve Greif, I was able to track down and have a lengthy and informative chat with Chappell’s daughter, Marie Martin, who still lives in North Bend and is quite an articulate lady. She described the park in the forties and fifties as being quite brushy with a muddy trail running through it. Her father sought to upgrade the neighborhood by planting trees. The redwoods

were brought as seedlings from California and planted in the mid-fifties. The beautiful black walnut in front of the Visitors’ Center was from a family farm in Corvallis, and is about 75 years old. She even has a table made from a pruned branch! On this information alone, I will continue to maintain that at least some trees being removed have, in fact, historic value, are old (65-75 years), and are mostly quite healthy. Do some of them need attention? Yes! Despite my and others’ advocacy, North Bend hasn’t spent a dime on tree maintenance in that part of the park in the seventeen or so years I was on the Parks Board or directly involved in park improvements. A large number of trees were removed three years ago but no maintenance for remaining trees. If a state arborist stated that the park was “dank, dark and dangerous”, she was correct, but she was not referring to the part of the park where trees are currently slated to be removed. Where is the State Plan mentioned by City Manager O’Connor? Hundreds of volunteer hours and dollars have go into efforts to rectify “dank, dark and dangerous” by removing invasive ivy, holly, brush, downed trees and branches with only sporadic, little or no support from the City. Nothing ‘simplistic’ about that. Space doesn’t allow more detail, so I will stop here except to point out that the City Manager needs to consult a good dictionary on the definition of ‘salacious’.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren

Move forces choice between sons DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have a dilemma we don’t know how to handle. We both recently retired. Our sons (both married with children) live in other states. Since my wife and I no longer have family here, we are going to move close to one of our sons. Our dilemma: They both want us to move near them, but they are 2,000 miles apart. Both of the states they live in are similar in terms of taxes, home prices, cost of living, etc. We have decided where we would like to go and found a home to purchase. How do we tell our other son why we moved where we did? He’s going to be very hurt and feel that we favor his brother, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Both are financially stable (as are my wife and I), so that is not an issue. I’m sure many people would feel blessed to have two sons who both want their parents close by. How do we tell one we picked the other? -- NEARBY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR NEARBY: Do not tell either brother that you picked the one you did. You chose a LOCATION. Why did you arrive at the decision you did? Make a list of the reasons you made your choice and recite them when you are asked. You are all adults. Your reasons are valid ones, and this should not be couched in terms of one son being loved better than the other, which is childish. DEAR ABBY: Seven years ago, I found out my husband hadn’t paid our mortgage and credit card bills for more than two years, and our home of 23 years was in preforeclosure. Once the secret was out, we managed to save the house (thankfully). Problem is, I no longer trust my husband and often doubt what he says. My priority was to save our home, but now I am no longer sure I want to stay with him. Our 40th anniversary is this year, but I feel bitter and resentful about his irresponsible decisions. I want to leave, but I’m scared I am making the wrong decision. Help, please. -- MIXED UP IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR MIXED UP: Because I have no idea why your husband behaved so irresponsibly, you need to hash this out with a licensed marriage and family therapist. You should also consult an attorney. IF you decide to stay, it is imperative that you be in a position to closely monitor any financial actions and obligations in your household. DEAR ABBY: I like to jump on our neighbors’ trampoline when they’re out of town. I have been doing it for decades. Normally it’s no big deal, but last weekend they returned home earlier than usual and caught me in the act. Now my wife is ashamed to show her face around the neighborhood, and she’s blaming me for the whole thing. Abby, I have a simple solution to this mess. If the neighbors don’t want me jumping on their trampoline, they should cough up the money for a privacy fence. Don’t you agree? -- BOUNCING INTO TROUBLE DEAR BOUNCING: If you are so jumpy and can’t keep your feet on the ground, it may be time to buy your own trampoline, which would save your wife a world of embarrassment. Your comment about the neighbors building a fence may have been offered in jest, but it is sensible. If someone’s child were to play on that trampoline in their absence and be injured, your neighbor could wind up paying a lot more than the cost of a fence.

OBITUARIES Roy Edward Gardner March 21, 1942 - April 3, 2020

Roy Edward Gardner, 78, was born March 21, 1942 in Raymond, Washington to John and Edna Gardner, who moved to Coos County when Roy was 4 years old. Roy died on Friday, April 3, 2020 at his home in Coos Bay with his wife Carol and family by his side. After finding he had a rare disease that was moving quickly, he chose to have Hospice come to their home and be part of his care. Roy loved his children and grandchildren very much, and enjoyed attending many of the grandchildren’s musical or sporting events as often as possible. He often said how thankful he was for time spent with his children while they were growing up, teaching them the importance of

family and having a good work ethic. He shared many stories of good times at the lake cabin that he, family, and friends help build in the mid-1980s. Roy was an avid hunter, with many hunting stories involving his son and friends. Roy graduated from Coquille High School in 1960. After marrying Judy Alborn Gederos 6 years later and having 2 children, Trevor Gardner and Taryn Gardner Kirk, in 1973 he spent the year building a house on his parents Glen Aiken ranch. He shared many wonderful memories of watching his kids around his mom and dad on the ranch. Roy often spoke about his parents with a great deal of love and respect. Roy was a quieter Christian person, and found hope in praying for others. He stated some of his most meaningful spiritual years were when he was a volunteer and able to help others, some through the church he attended, and some through South Coast Hospice. Roy began his first career as a logger, doing a variety of tasks, including working at a few lumber mills in the winter time. He was proud that he was often asked to drive the crummy back and forth

with the workers. At one point he chose to change careers, working at and later buying a service station in Coquille. Hours were long with many late nights, so he chose his next career as a mechanic, which eventually led to becoming a Service Manager at SW Chevrolet Motors in Coquille and mechanic at Courtesy GMC in Coos Bay, and also the Auto Clinic. In 1980, Roy worked for Jim Arney for a little over a year and then the economy went south, so Roy started his own business, RBC Construction. Soon after he connected with Tom Harmon and the two began building homes and businesses. In 1987 he worked in Portland and Seattle for a couple years for his nephew Rick Smith. Tom had started his own construction business by that time and in 1989 Roy became his Superintendent for about 25 years, retiring from Harmon Construction in 2015. Roy was well respected in the construction world, and earned a few nicknames that related to his experience and expertise, “the saw and the wood god”. Roy was proud of all the many buildings they built, and Carol notes he enjoyed taking a drive to see many of these over

the years. He was proud of being named at one point as Superintendent of the year. Roy also enjoyed making personal things for his kids and doing creative projects at home. Roy enjoyed racing in his younger years, and was either participating or attending with family and friends. He continued enjoying races and hot rods in later years, attending many car events. Roy spent about 20 years working on their 1937 Ford Sedan, which they named Cinder. It brought him a great deal of joy to work on it, along with help from his son and friends. Roy finally finished it in 2019. He found it was hard to stop working on it, but at a certain point he and Carol were able to enjoy some drives in the ’37, also participating in a few local car shows that resulted in a couple of awards for Cinder. Roy and Carol request donations be made to South Coast Hospice, 1620 Thompson Rd, Coos Bay, OR 97420, a non-profit he had a big heart for, with his most recent accomplishment and volunteer project being the oversight on the construction of a new awning at the South Coast Hospice Thrift Store. Roy is survived by his wife, Carol; his son and

wife, Trevor and Jena Gardner; children, Garrett and Reggie; Trevor’s oldest son, Tyler West and wife Meagan and children, Rylie and Will; daughter and husband, Taryn and Pete Kirk; children, Quentin, Hannah, Trey, and Emily Kirk; Trevor and Taryn’s mother and step-father are Judy and Calvin Gederos. Roy was the youngest of 9 children and survived by 2 of 9 siblings, Ray and wife Barb Gardner, Johnny and wife, Eileen Gardner; he is survived by many other in-laws on Carol’s side that were special to Roy, the ones he was closest to are step-daughter, Cheri Robinson; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Bill Elderkin and Pam Lira; motherin-law, Sandy Denny. He was preceded in death by step-son, Robert Robinson April 22, 2018. There are numerous nieces and nephews in Roy’s family & many close friends whose names could easily fill a few pages. Roy loved any opportunity to get together with each of them. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131.

where he continued his career at Providence as the Lead Vascular Ultrasonographer. His co-workers say “though quiet in his demeanor, Scott was diligent and passionate in caring for his patients and in supporting the vascular surgery program. He felt at home here and knew this was where he was meant to serve.” His work family was very close and he loved them dearly. Scott was an outdoorsman at heart. He loved to plan hunts with friends and family. He was an amazing mentor and was happiest when he could share his knowledge with others. Scott will always be remembered for his quiet demeanor and his kind

heart. He went above and beyond to help others and always did what was right. He was a beloved son, brother, father and friend. Scott is survived by his daughter, Emma Ruppel of Eagle Point, Oregon; mother, Janet (Spillman) Ruppel of North Bend, Oregon; sister, Stacey (Ruppel) Sabin and brother in law, Greg Sabin of Bend, Oregon and a very special family with many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Gary Ruppel. Scott was dedicated to conserving the wild country and fish and wildlife that depend on it. Without wild places for wild animals, there will be no place for sportsmen

to hunt and fish. He also had a huge heart for dogs, especially ones that need to be rescued. National Mill Dog Rescue is an organization that rescues dogs from horrible breeding situations and rehabilitates them to live the rest of their lives in loving homes. Adopt don’t shop. For this reason, his wishes were for donations to go to: Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, PO Box 9257, Missoula, MO 59807 or the National Mill Dog Rescue, PO Box 88468, Colorado Springs, CO 80908.

$21 million worth of cocaine seized by U.S. Coast Guard ASTORIA, Ore. – The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast seized 1,252 pounds of pure cocaine last week, estimated to be worth of $21.5 million. According to a press release from the Coast Guard, the crew returned home Friday to Astoria following a 65-day counternarcotic patrol to the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The cutter intercepted and boarded five suspected smuggling vessels, including one go-fast-style panga, while patrolling international waters off the coasts of Mexico and Central America. Steadfast’s crew apprehended three suspected smugglers in addition to

seizing the drugs, the release said. “I am inspired daily by the tenacity and professionalism of this crew,” said Cmdr. Dan Ursino, commanding officer of the Steadfast, in the release. “Their resilience to remain focused, in light of the global health crisis and uncertainty back home, has been nothing short of remarkable. Knowing the importance and impact of keeping these harmful substances from reaching our streets help to keep us going.” On April 1, U.S. Southern Command began enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere to disrupt the flow of drugs in support of presidential

national security objectives. Numerous U.S. agencies from the Departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security cooperated in the effort to combat transnational organized crime. The Coast Guard, Navy, Customs and Border Protection, FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with allied and international partner agencies, play a role in counter-drug operations. The fight against drug cartels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean requires unity of effort in all phases from detection, monitoring and interdictions, to criminal prosecutions by international

partners and U.S. Attorneys in districts across the nation. The law enforcement phase of counter-smuggling operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean is conducted under the authority of the 11th Coast Guard District, headquartered in Alameda. The interdictions, including the actual boardings, are led and conducted by members of the U.S. Coast Guard. During this patrol, Steadfast launched two boats, Boat-A-Lohti and Philbert, approximately 200 miles off the southern tip of Baja, Mexico. Follow along here: http://www.crmm. org/maritime-museum-mini-boats.html Steadfast also continued to partici-

pate in the Columbia River Maritime Museum’s Mini Boat Project, which connects students from local Oregon elementary schools with their peers in Japan. Students learn about the significance of ocean currents and weather, while building miniature boats to send across the ocean to one another. Commissioned in 1968, Steadfast is one of two Reliance-class cutters homeported in Astoria. Reliance-class cutters are 210-feet long, 34-feet wide and have a 1,100 long-ton displacement. The ships hold a crew of 76 and have served the nation for more than 50 years.

She liked taking walks and working on word search puzzles.

Betty Ann (Schroeder) Urbany was born Sept. 15, 1951, in Roseburg, Ore. She was the fourth of 10 children born to Willard and Edna Schroeder. She passed away in her home April 8, 2020, in Bellevue, Idaho, of natural causes at the age of 68. Betty grew up in North Bend, Ore., and graduated from North Bend High School in 1969. Betty became the proud mother to Sam, her only child, in 1971. She married Dane Urbany in 1975, and they moved to Ketchum, Idaho, in 1976, where together they raised her son. They raised Sam to love the outdoors, skiing, camping and rafting. Betty was a welcoming mother figure who opened her home to many of Sam’s friends. She was an avid traveler, had a passion for reading, enjoyed bowling with her league and loved to hike and be outdoors with her beloved fur-babies, Sadie and, as of late, Molly. Betty never met an animal

she didn’t like. Betty took a lot of adventures with Sam and his wife, Alexis, and their twin boys, Dylan and Dayne. Their most recent adventures were Aruba, where she fell in love with every stray cat on the island, and Costa Rica, where she may have wanted to join the monkey troop that frequently visited them. Sam, Alexis and their boys were Betty’s whole world. Her greatest joy was raising her son and then being a “G-ma” to Dylan and Dayne. She was an amazing mom and an even more amazing grandma; there was not a thing in this world she wouldn’t have done for them. Although Betty was little (only 4 feet, 11 and a half inches, but she would tell you three-quarters), she had a huge heart. She was a cherished mother, grandma, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, sisterin-law and aunt, and all who knew her loved her. She had a great sense of humor, so much that Dylan and Dayne often called her “LOL” which for her meant “Little Old Lady.” You could often hear her singing her made-up songs to her animals. Simply put, Betty was the best, and you would hear that quite frequently from people who knew her. Betty was a dedicated employee where she worked with her close friend and co-worker

Lindy Uberuaga at Bisnett Insurance (formerly Sandra Brown Insurance). She recently retired after working there for 30 years. Betty is survived by her son, Sam Urbany and daughter-in-law Alexis Urbany; grandsons, Dylan and Dayne Urbany; sisters, Ann and Mike Reese of Roseburg, Mary and Russ Tschetter of North Bend, Nancy Caffey of Coos Bay and Lisa and Dan Gordon of North Bend; brothers, Edward and Susie Schroeder of Coos Bay, Richard and Gail Schroeder of Coos Bay, Ron and Susan Schroeder of North Bend, Alan and Lisa Schroeder of Coos Bay and John and Diane Schroeder of Coos Bay; brother-in-law, Greg and Nancy Urbany; sister-in-law, Michele Urbany Puluti; and numerous nieces and nephews, who loved calling her Auntie Betts. She was preceded in death by her parents, Willard and Edna Schroeder; former husband, Dane Urbany, and his parents, Eddie and Lydia Urbany; and nephew, Trever Schroeder. A celebration of Betty’s life will tentatively be held in September 2020, her birthday month. Arrangements are under the direction of Wood River Chapel in Hailey, Idaho. In lieu of donating flowers, please make a donation in Betty’s honor to Mountain Humane animal shelter.

On this day in Coos County history April 24, 1920 COOS BAY MAN IN BIG TIMBER DEAL BUY 40,000 ACRES IN LAKE AND KLAMATH COUNTIES Chas. Hall of Marshfield and J. G. Goldthwaite Secure Booth Holdings

Chas. Hall of Marshfield and J. G. Goldthwaite Secure Booth Holdings It was announced here today that Chas. Hall of Marshfield and J. O. Goldthwaite of Klamath Falls had closed a deal for the purchase of 40,000 acres of white pine timber in Lake and Klamath counties from the Oregon Land and Livestock Co., of which R. A. Booth of Eugene is the head. The tract cruises over seven hundred million feet and

Blanchard, 45, started Sharky’s Charter in 2017. He saw an opportunity for families and small groups to catch sizable fish around the area and has put all his time and effort into making it as successful as possible. “It is my life. It’s not just a job. It defines me as a person,” said Blanchard. “I’m skilled in navigating the ocean and fishing. I’ve spent my whole life doing that and through no fault of my own, I can’t do that.” Since restrictions have been put in place due to the coronavirus, Blanchard has been grappling with how to respond. Initially there was a Facebook post from Sharky’s Charter proclaiming that COVID-19

some additional tracts embraced in the area which will naturally go with it will bring the available stumpage to more than a billion feet. The price was not stated. Mr. Goldthwaite is head of the Modoc Lumber Co. which operates a mill near Klamath Falls. He was formerly located at Hood River where he and Mr. Hall were associated.

April 25, 1970 CB Speaker – ‘Oregon Hit Hardest’

The inflationary spiral probably affects Oregon more than any other state, George “Bun” Stadelman told delegates to the State Young Republican meeting today. Stadelman, Republican national committeeman for Oregon, made his comments this morning at would not stop upcoming trips. But that was followed by an update on March 23 announcing refunds for now canceled excursions. After being told not to go out with groups, the difficult situation was made worse when the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced non-Oregon residents would unable to hunt or fish in the state. This was decision was done, again, to prevent transmission of the virus. “It’s like a one-two punch. Here I get hit with I can’t fish and now I get hit with I can’t fish for my clients once — that’s just another hurdle that they’re going to have to undo. And what it seems like is that it’s really easy to make regulations. It’s really hard to undo them,” said Blanchard. This has all left Blanchard at a loss.

the YR leadership training school and convention in Coos Bay. Inflation strikes particularly hard at the timber industry and agriculture, Oregon’s two largest industries, he pointed out. As a result, whatever the Nixon administration does in its attempt to halt inflation is “very important to Oregon,” especially to the timber firms who see high interest rates and fewer housing starts as a depressant to the lumber market.. “I’m convinced the Republican administration is trying to stop this inflation,” Stadelman said, adding that the “great question” is whether or not the rise has been slowed down.

April 24, 2010 He has reached out to ODFW and the Oregon State Marine Board; he has applied for an emergency disaster loan; he is waiting for his stimulus check to come. He feels he has gone through all the right channels and is now stuck. “At some point, people are going to have to start protesting this or doing something. I don’t know what else to do now. If they don’t do anything I’m about ready to grab a sign and stand on 101 because there is no avenue left for me,” said Blanchard. “They hold my licenses, they hold my life. What are you going to do?” In the meantime, Blanchard has done what he has always done: gone fishing. This time it wasn’t with a charter group but

Reedsport kids build and race jug boats Mad house. Barrel of monkeys.

Those are a few phrases used to describe the annual milk jug boat race last week at Highland Pool. Teams from grades 4, 5 and 6 were given 65 jugs. Dozens of students worked for a week to draft and design boats. The pandemonium comes to a head at the annual regatta. ‘It’s a real zoo,” said pool manager Knox Story recently, as children prepared for the race. The rules? ‘Simple,” Story said. The watercraft must completely float the riders. Students have instead, after chatting with a neighbor, it is for a program called “Fish for Families.” Blanchard and some other captains have caught and donated over 1,000 pounds of fish that became 450 pounds of filets for the Coos Bay Food Bank. “That has been a really positive thing that I can focus on in my life while this is happening. And trying to make a difference in the community where I can, I guess. With the skills that I have and the resources that I have. That’s went well,” he said. As Blanchard works to provide for the community, he is waiting to see what is next for him and Sharky’s Charters. “I’ve got a business, I’ve got a lease. I just don’t know. It’s been really stressful,” he said. “But I’ll figure it out one way or another.”

presented by the proposed new layout. “To not have access to that dock in that configuration with that kind of truck access is really burdensome,” he said. “I don’t know how (Babcock) and I are going to work through that.” According to Goche, the two have tried on multiple occasions early on in the design process to give their input into the new rebuild to protect their interest in dock space for their businesses and others. “We’re not trying to cause problems, we’re just trying to fix mistakes that could have been avoided if they just made one phone (call) to the one tenant out on that platform,” said Goche. “I appreciate and acknowledge their sense of urgency of making this project happen sooner rather than later and their acknowledgement of the fundamental part of the infrastructure that an ice plant is in this port. “I just don’t want to see them go so fast they make a mistake or mistakes that not only affect our businesses but businesses in this fleet

for generations to come.” Babcock and Goche also made appearances at the Port of Coos Bay Commission meeting held Thursday, April 16 where Babcock said he presented scale drawings of the proposed new layout and the previous layout to show the board the issues with dock space. Captain Bob Pedro, owner of Miss Linda Charters, also joined Babcock and Goche in expressing his concerns with the new layout. The longtime fisherman said he submitted a letter to the board where he explained how vital the dock is to his company. As a research-vessel charter company, whose home port is in Charleston, Pedro said he’s worried about not having enough space on the dock to load and unload equipment and customers onto his vessel during research trips. Having been in the research business and operating vessels for over 15 years, Pedro said the agencies who utilize its charter services often come with large, heavy equipment. In the past, he’s assisted research teams deploy and recover buoys and other various research and test equipment for a number of

The meeting continued discussions regarding the move of the ice plant on the dock as well as stair placement on the north side which created another issue of space between the ice plant and the hoists, said Goche. Following the meeting, the placement of the stairs was moved and port officials were also able to run an additional ice delivery line on the southeast corner of the building.

According to Collura, the Port was able to make those changes and implement those suggestions, but as far as moving the location back to its previous placement that would be a task it would be unable to do. He cited budgetary restraints, building code compliance, seismic safety and timeframe deadlines as reasons the placement and layout wouldn’t be redesigned.

New ice plant on the way

The rebuild project includes replacement of piles and new decking at the dock head as well as new ice making equipment housed inside the new facility. “We are in the final week of placing piling in the water as well as the cement pile caps and pushing forward over the next week or two the slabs will start going on the top of those pile caps,” said Collura. “At the same the first floor building walls are currently being pre-fabricated off site.” A bit behind due to some COVID-19 related restrictions, the goal is still to open by mid-July to August to complete the project and to begin producing ice for the community, said Collura. A number of up-

grades are being done to the new ice plant to allow for increased holding capacity and ice production. The previous facility was able to hold about 115 tons of capacity whereas the new one will hold about 158 tons of capacity, an increase of about 30 percent in storage, Collura said. “The second component of that is we’re also putting in bigger ice makers so the production rate will actually double in terms of how many tons per hour we can create the commercial grade flake ice,” he said. According to Collura, the new facility, which is larger than the previous one, will be able to handle the demand of ice from the various influxes of vessels that pass through the port in Charleston during the peak of various fishing seasons. “With our increased capacity our hope is that we can now meet the demand of more vessels and increase the traffic in the port,” he said. The $8.5 million ice plant rebuild project was made possible by insurance money awarded after the fire as well as a number of loan sources through Business Oregon, according to Collura. Claims that the Port didn’t seek input from local stakeholders and businesses or do enough to outreach to

the community were denied by Collura and Barber. The two maintained a number of meetings were held and accommodations, when possible, were made to best meet the needs of all those involved. However, Babcock and Goche disagree. Understanding the importance of having a new ice plant facility in a timely manner, the two said their overall disappointment was with the way things were handled and how they weren’t a part of the design process early on even after trying as far back as when the fire first broke out in December. “Industry is there waiting to have a voice at the table,” said Babcock. “We want to be able to share what our needs are to the Port commission and Port operations. ... I’m hoping that we get enough other people expressing an interest that the Port will realize the error of their ways and will consider making a change even at this late stage of the game.” As previously reported in The World, the Charleston Marina serves as the third largest commercial fishing hub in the state. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, in 2019 over 18.6 million pounds of fish and shellfish were landed with a value of more than $28.6 million.

“Far too long has Coos County suffered from poverty and economic disadvantage. Yet we have the resources and we have the know how to make our community vibrant and thrive. We can and will bring new family wage jobs in the lucrative Blue Economy & Advanced Energy Technology sectors, while simultaneously boosting ALL other EXISTING local commerce without compromising the environment. We can and will achieve long-term social and economic viability while claiming energy independence for the South Coast. As your commissioner, I will continue serving my community, navigating the political differences in Coos County, building upon our common threads to lead us to a brighter future.”

Marshfield’s Tandy Martin wrestles Medford’s Ethan Miller in the 170-pound weight class Saturday during the Army Strong Coast Classic at North Bend High School in December. Martin took the title in the big tournament and now will wrestler for Eastern Oregon University.

Martin finds new home for wrestling JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — The end of the wrestling season left a very sour taste in Tandy Martin’s mouth, not to mention a horrible pain in his arm. The Marshfield senior entered the season with a chance to become a four-time state placer and visions of being a state champion. But late in the season he suffered a dislocated arm during a match that became much worse. Martin made an impressive comeback to qualify for state and even won his first match in Portland, basically wrestling with one arm, before the task became too difficult and he was eliminated. Now Martin has something positive to look forward. He has signed with Eastern Oregon Uni-

versity in La Grande to continue his wrestling career. “I’m really excited, especially with how my senior year ended,” Martin said. “That’s a big plus, looking forward to the future and knowing I still have an opportunity.” He’s got a lot of work to do to get back to that point, though. When Martin’s arm was dislocated, he shredded both the radial collateral ligament and ulnar collateral ligament and needs surgery on both — the latter the famed Tommy John surgery — to be able to use his arm properly again. He will have a tendon taken out of his wrist and another taken out of his leg to repair his arm. The good news is, as bad as that surgery sounds, after proper rehabilitation Martin’s arm should be good as new. “I don’t think it’s really going

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow runs down field against Georgia during the first half of the Southeastern Conference championship NCAA college football game in Atlanta. Burrow was the first pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday.

Bengals make Burrow top pick in NFL draft CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow’s next challenge is daunting: return to his home state and resurrect the woebegone Bengals. Given what he’s accomplished, he’s not lacking in confidence. Cincinnati took the Heisman Trophy winner first overall in the NFL draft Thursday night, a move expected by everyone, including Burrow. The national title winner at LSU has spent weeks fielding questions about going to a franchise synonymous with futility. He knows exactly what he’s getting into. Burrow developed his quarterback skills a few hours away in southeastern Ohio, leading his prep team to the playoffs. A failed stint at Ohio State became a launching point to a national title and Heisman Trophy at LSU. For the draft Thursday, he wore a white shirt with the outline of Ohio and the 740 area code for southeast Ohio. He also held a black Bengals cap, waiting for the pick.

When the Bengals called to make it official, he donned the cap and became the face of the franchise. “We will never pick at No. 1 again,” coach Zac Taylor said. “We don’t want to pick in the top 10 again. We’re looking at this as the only time you’re going to get this caliber player to add him to the program, so obviously this is a big deal.” Burrow’s roots in Ohio made him even more desirable for a team that’s had some of the league’s lowest attendance figures for years and will be renegotiating its lease for the stadium — named after founder Paul Brown — in a few years. There’s a lot riding on this draft pick. “He’s been in the area and he knows what we’re all about,” Taylor said. “There’s probably people in the area who know what he’s about and will probably be drawn to the Bengals.” Please see Burrow, Page B2

to hinder me,” he said. “Six months after my surgery, I will be back to 100 percent — at least that’s what my doctor said.” Martin said aside from minor dings in football or wrestling, this is the first injury he’s suffered in a long sports career. He’s mentally preparing for recovery, whenever he can have the surgery. “I know I am going to have to be doing a lot of physical therapy,” he said. “I’ve talked to my coaches (at Eastern Oregon). They have really good trainers. They understand how to deal with this.” Knowing he a future in the sport is driving him to stay positive. “From my freshman year, I knew I wanted to wrestle in college,” he said. “I love football, but wrestling is in your hands 90 percent of the time, what you do (determines your success).

“Looking forward, I know I can do more. I have a lot more to accomplish. That’s what’s pushing me. Especially after I got it taken away from me (this year).” Martin envisions being an All-American or winning a conference title for Eastern Oregon. The school, he said, is an ideal fit. He grew up in Montana until moving to the South Coast four years ago, and La Grande is similar in a lot of ways. “It’s super mountainy,” he said. “There’s a lot to do. There’s a lot of hunting opportunity.” Plus, Martin said, Eastern Oregon has a good nursing program through Oregon Health Sciences University, which is what he has been planning to study. “And I really like their coach,” he added.

The NCAA is moving closer to allowing Division I athletes to earn money from endorsements and sponsorship deals they can strike on their own as early as next year. Recommended rule changes that would clear the way for athletes to earn money from their names, images and likeness are being reviewed by college sports administrators this week before being sent to the NCAA Board of Governors, which meets Monday and Tuesday. If adopted, the rules would allow athletes to make sponsorship and endorsement deals with all kinds of companies and third parties, from car dealerships to concert promoters to pizza shops, according to a person who has reviewed the recommendations. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the details were still being discussed and debated. The recommendations are expected to form the foundation for legislation the NCAA hopes to pass next January so it can take effect in 2021. Changes could still be made before January. No school-branded apparel or material could be used by athletes in their personal endorsement deals, according to the recommendations reviewed by the person who spoke to the AP. Athletes would be required to disclose financial terms of contracts to their athletic departments, along with their relationships with any individuals involved. Athletes would be allowed to enter into agreements with individuals deemed to be school boosters, the person said. The NCAA would create a mechanism to evaluate potential deals for fair market value and spot possible corruption. Please see NCAA, Page B2

Chargers draft Justin Herbert COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Tom Telesco is hoping Justin Herbert can be just as good as the last quarterback the Chargers drafted out of Oregon. Los Angeles selected Herbert with the No. 6 pick of the NFL draft Thursday night. He is the first Ducks QB taken by the Chargers since they took Dan Fouts in the third round in 1973. Fouts led the franchise to four playoff trips and three division titles in a 15-year Hall of Fame career. “This is a special opportunity. Words can’t describe how excited and thrilled and fired up I am for this,” Herbert said. Telesco was not content with only one first-round pick, however. The general manager traded the team’s second- and thirdround picks to New England to move up to the 23rd spot to take Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray. It is the first time since 2005 that the Chargers have had multiple first-round selections. “We had talks with different teams in front of and behind us (when they were picking sixth),” Telesco said. “We got a player we really liked with Justin but also had some ammunition to move up and get Kenneth. All in all, it was a very rewarding day.” The Chargers were in the market to take a quarterback in the first round for the fourth time since 1967 after they announced in early February that they would not re-sign Philip Rivers, who started 235 consecutive regular-season and playoff games over the past 14 seasons. Herbert started 42 games at Oregon, compiling a 29-13 record with 10,541 passing yards and 108 total touchdowns. He led the Ducks to the Pac-12 championship last season and a win over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, where he ran for three touchdowns and was named the offensive MVP. He thew for 32 touchdowns and only six inter-

Herbert has shown the ability to excel in play action, but questions remain about his decision-making and accuracy. He boosted his stock at the Senior Bowl, completing 9 of 12 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. Herbert said he has been trying to refine his mechanics leading up to the draft. Telesco has had his eye on Herbert for a while. He was at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Nov. 2 when Herbert went 21 of 26 for 225 yards and three touchdowns in a 56-24 win over Southern California. “He brings us a lot with his combination of physical skills and style of play is intriguing to us,” Telesco said. “He is a big, fast dual-threat quarterback with room to grow.” There won’t be any pressure for Herbert to come in and start immediately. Tyrod Taylor is likely to be the Chargers starter going into their first season at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, giving Herbert time to learn and develop. Fouts said in a telephone interview that the Chargers made the right choice with Herbert. “He’s smart, big and has a strong arm. He’s fearless. He’s

got all the tools you can imagine,” he said. “The way I look at it he’s still young and the sky’s the limit. He’s going to a team with a lot of talent at receiver (Keenan Allen and Mike Williams) along with a good tight end and running game.” Herbert was the third quarterback taken in the first six selections Thursday. Cincinnati selected LSU’s Joe Burrow with the first overall pick and Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa went fifth to Miami. Murray was a three-year starter at Oklahoma and lined up in the middle. He played nearly 91% of the Sooners’ defensive snaps the last three years and recorded 100 or more tackles the last two seasons. He also had 9.5 sacks and 37 tackles for loss during his career. “He’s someone who we had graded very high and can play all the linebacker spots,” Telesco said. “He is long, fast, physical and plays with a violent mentality.” Murray does project more as an outside linebacker but gives the Chargers a run stopper they have been lacking the past couple seasons. He is the first Sooners linebacker since Jackie Shipp in 1984 to go in the first round of the regular draft.

Seattle drafts Brooks

SEATTLE (AP) — It was falling into place as Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider wanted. A trade was on the verge of being finalized that would land the Seahawks more selections and likely still allow them to get the player they wanted. Then it was gone, thanks to a better offer from elsewhere. It left Schneider and the Seahawks in the position of doing something they hadn’t done since 2011 — make a selection with their original first-round pick. The Seahawks selected Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks with the No. 27 pick Thursday night. The shock was in Seattle’s decision to make a pick in the first round without making moves to acquire additional picks later in the draft. “We always need to get faster and get tougher on defense no matter what spot we’re talking about,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “Jordan fit that perfectly.” While defensive line was considered the top priority for the Seahawks, they instead went with a speedy linebacker who led Texas Tech in tackles in three of his four seasons in Lubbock. Brooks was a second-team AP All-American last season after posting 108 tackles and three sacks in just 11 starts. Brooks ran a 4.54 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. Brooks said he wasn’t

Burrow From B1

He moves to a team that went 2-14 last season in Taylor’s first year, losing a club-record 11 games in a row. Cincinnati has lost 21 of its last 24 games. That’s what the Heisman winner is up against now. “If you go in thinking, ‘Oh, this is the year we’re going to make the playoffs, this year we’re going to win a playoff game,’ it gets too daunting,” Burrow said. “You’ve got to focus on the process.” Not that it’s all up to Burrow, of course. In Cincinnati, it’s about ownership. The Bengals have been through a dizzying list of coaches, coordinators and quarterbacks during one of the worst stretches in the league’s 100-year history.

The question will be his position in Seattle. The Seahawks are already set at middle linebacker with All-Pro Bobby Wagner. But veteran K.J. Wright is entering the final year of the two-year contract extension and Seattle’s other starter last season, Mychal Kendricks, suffered a serious knee injury late in the season. Brooks said that during his first three years at Texas Tech he played a hybrid position that shifted against formations and he often found himself playing an outside linebacker spot in the Red Raiders defense. His senior season, Brooks played more of a traditional middle linebacker position. “I feel comfortable playing any position,” Brooks said. Carroll and Schneider agreed that his versatility

will give Brooks a chance to contribute early. He has size and speed similar to Kendricks’ and can play on the line of scrimmage. But his speed might best be highlighted playing off the ball. Schneider said he was surprised there weren’t more trades in the first round. He indicated there were conversations with Green Bay about a trade, but it was the Packers who jumped ahead of Seattle in a deal with Miami at No. 26. The Packers ended up selecting quarterback Jordan Love, leaving Seattle’s best move to pick Brooks. Since picking offensive lineman James Carpenter with the No. 25 selection in 2011, the Seahawks have bounced around the first round for a variety of reasons in the eight drafts that followed. The Seahawks moved back in 2012, 2014, and 2016-19 in order to add additional picks. In 2013 and 2015, Seattle’s first-round pick was part of a trade, one to acquire Percy Harvin, the other to get Jimmy Graham.

ago and led by Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith and Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman. The need for change was sped up by pressure from state lawmakers. California was first to enact a law that would make it illegal for NCAA schools to prohibit college athletes from making money on endorsements, social media advertising and other activities tied to name, image and likeness. Dozens of states have followed California’s lead, some more aggressively than others. California’s law does not go into effect until 2023 while a Florida bill awaiting the governor’s signature would go into effect July 2021. NCAA leaders have

gone to Congress looking for help to fend of a patchwork of state laws and create a national standard. In one way, the recommendations go even beyond the free-market approach of the California law, which would restrict athletes from making sponsorship deals with companies that conflict with a school’s existing business relationship. For example, an athlete could not sign a deal with Nike if the school had a contract with Under Armour. The working group’s recommendations would keep the NCAA out of that decision. leaving it to each school to decide whether it will allow an athlete to sponsor a competing brand, the person told the AP.

They’ve had only seven winning seasons in the last 29 years, a stunningly bad result in a league built upon parity. They haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the fifth-longest streak of postseason futility. The Bengals have had 18 different starting quarterbacks over that span, including Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer in 2003 who eventually demanded a trade rather than stay with the franchise. “I think it’s going to be a winning franchise for years to come and I want to play a part in it,” Burrow said. Burrow’s career bloomed in Athens, Ohio, where his father, Jim, was an assistant coach at Ohio University. He took his high school team to the playoffs and went to Ohio State, where he failed to win the starting job. He transferred to LSU,

where he had one of the best seasons by a quarterback in college history. Burrow threw a record 60 touchdown passes as the Tigers rolled to the national title last season. The Bengals were impressed by his accuracy and good decision-making. Burrow really won them over when they talked during the lead-up to the draft. “He came across to me like a guy that’s been playing NFL football for 10 years,” offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said. “His knowledge was far superior to most kids coming out of college.” He’ll supplant Andy Dalton as the face of the franchise. Dalton has one year left on his contract and the Bengals are considering keeping him around to help Burrow get acclimated in an unusual offseason limited by coronavirus precautions.

In the second round Friday, the Seahawks addressed their biggest need, selecting Tennesse pass rusher Darrell Taylor on Friday night. The Seahawks traded with the New York Jets to move up 11 spots and select Taylor. The Seahawks gave the Jets the No. 59 overall pick in the second round and Seattle’s only third-round pick at No. 101 overall. Seattle then added an offensive lineman, selecting LSU’s Damien Lewis early in the third round following a trade with Carolina. The Seahawks were supposed to pick at No. 64 later in the second round, but traded that pick to the Panthers and were able to add a pick early in the fifth round on Saturday. Taylor is 6-foot-4 and 267 pounds and fits the mold of the type of pass rusher Seattle wants coming off the edge. Taylor was second in the SEC last season with 8 1/2 sacks. For his career, Taylor had 19.5 sacks overall, good for 10th-most in school history.

United States death toll moves over 50,000 SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020 | B3

The World

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Even as the confirmed U.S. death toll from coronavirus rose past 50,000, salons, spas and barbershops reopened Friday in Georgia and Oklahoma with a green light from their Republican governors, who eased lockdown orders despite health experts’ warnings. Though limited in scope, and subject to social-distancing restrictions, the reopening marked a symbolic milestone in the debate raging in the United States – and the world -- as to how quickly political leaders should lift economically damaging lockdown orders. Similar scenarios have been playing worldwide and will soon proliferate in the U.S. as other governors wrestle with conflicting priorities. Their economies have been battered by weeks of quarantine-fueled job losses and soaring unemployment claims, yet health officials warn that lifting stay-at-home orders

now could spark a resurgence of COVID-19. The coronavirus has killed more than 190,000 people worldwide, including — as of Friday — more than 50,000 in the United States, according to a tally compiled by John Hopkins University from government figures. The actual death toll is believed to be far higher. New cases are surging in Africa and Latin America as outbreaks subside in some places that were hit earlier. In Oklahoma, Gov. Kevin Stitt authorized personal-care businesses to open, citing a decline in the number of people being hospitalized for COVID-19. Those businesses were directed to maintain social distancing, require masks and frequently sanitize equipment. Still, some of the state’s largest cities, including Norman, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, were opting to keep their bans in place until at least the end of April.

Amy Pembrook and her husband, Mike, reopened their hair salon in the northwest Oklahoma town of Fairview after it had been shuttered for about a month. “We’re super excited about going back, but we have caught a little flack from people who say it’s too early,” Amy Pembrook said. “We just said we can live in fear for a long time or we can trust that everything is going to be OK.” With deaths and infections still rising in Georgia, many business owners planned to stay closed despite Gov. Brian Kemp’s assurance that hospital visits and new cases have leveled off enough for barbers, tattoo artists, massage therapists and personal trainers to return to work with restrictions. Kemp’s timeline to restart the economy proved too ambitious even for President Donald Trump, who said he disagrees with the fellow Republican’s plan. On Friday, Trump signed a $484 billion bill to aid employers and hospitals under stress

Trump: Postal service must raise rates WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that he won’t approve a $10 billion loan for the U.S. Postal Service unless the agency raises charges for Amazon and other big shippers to four to five times current rates. “The Postal Service is a joke because they’re handing out packages for Amazon and other internet companies and every time they bring a package, they lose money on it,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. The president was responding to a question about reports his administration plans to force major changes in postal operations as the price for approving a $10 billion loan that was included in the government’s $2 trillion economic rescue package. Under the rescue package legislation, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin must approve the loan before the Postal Service can receive the money. Officials at the Postal Service had no immediate reaction to Trump’s comments. Trump said the changes the administration will insist on will make it a “whole new ballgame” at the Postal Service. He said the

Postal Service did not want to make the changes because they did not want to offend Amazon and other companies. Looking at Mnuchin, who was with him in the Oval Office, the president said, “If they don’t raise the price of the service they give ... I’m not signing anything and I’m not authorizing you to do anything.” Mnuchin told reporters that he had Treasury officials working with the Postal Service on the terms of the loan if postal officials decide they need more money. “We are going to post certain criteria for (a) postal reform program as part of the loan,” Mnuchin said. He said the Postal Service board is already conducting a search for a new postmaster general to run the agency and undertaking reforms of operations. The Washington Post, which first reported the administration’s push for changes at the Postal Service, quoted unnamed officials as saying that senior Postal Service officials have been told the administration wants to use the $10 billion loan as leverage to influence how much the agency charges for delivering packages

and how it manages its finances. Trump has complained for years that the Postal Service was being exploited by Amazon and other shippers and that was the reason the agency was losing so much money. But analysts have said that efforts to sharply boost charges on big shippers like Amazon could backfire by raising prices above those being charged by competitors such as UPS and FedEx. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asked about the administration’s efforts Friday, said the Postal Service enjoyed wide support with the American people and that the administration is threatening to harm a critical part of the economy. “This is really dangerous and Mnuchin at Treasury is trying to leverage the debt situation in a way that must be stopped,” Pelosi told reporters. Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos, who owns The Washington Post. Trump has often labeled the Post “fake news” after the newspaper has reported unfavorable developments during his campaign and presidency and highlighted the Bezos connection by calling it the “Amazon Washington Post.”

from the pandemic — the latest federal effort to help keep afloat businesses that have had to close or scale down. Over the past five weeks, roughly 26 million people have filed for jobless aid, or about 1 in 6 U.S. workers. Without a tried-and-tested action plan for how to pull countries out of coronavirus lockdown, the world is seeing a patchwork of approaches. Schools reopen in one country, stay closed in others; face masks are mandatory in some places, a recommendation elsewhere. Kids still attend soccer practice in Sweden while they are not even allowed outside in Spain. As governments and scientists fumble around, still struggling with so many unknowns, individuals are being left to take potentially life-affecting decisions. In Georgia, David Huynh had 60 clients booked for appointments at his nail salon in Savannah, but a clothing store, jewelry shop and chocolatier that share

Oregon Supreme Court says contribution limits are legal PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court ruled Thursday that limits on campaign contributions are legal in Oregon. The court said limits do not violate the state constitution, which means controls can be put on the unlimited flow of cash into campaigns statewide. It also puts an end to Oregon’s distinction as one of the biggest money states in American politics, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The ruling says $500 campaign limits adopted by Multnomah County voters in 2016 do not run afoul of the state constitution, which for 20 years has prevented controls on the money pouring into political campaigns. The court’s opinion, authored by Chief Justice Martha L. Walters, concludes that contribution limits are not invalid under the state constitution. It sends the case back to a lower court to decide whether Multnomah County’s dollar limits

themselves are too low, while throwing out limits that the same voters set on campaign expenditures. “We won,” said Dan Meek, the Portland lawyer who led the case. The case promises additional upheaval in political giving in the midst of an election cycle that has been upended by the coronavirus. Jason Kafoury, another attorney who has pushed with Meek for limits, said the ruling means that $500 contribution caps in Multnomah County and the city of Portland are “now in effect and fully enforceable. We will seek enforcement of those limits.” Oregon is one of a handful of states with no limits on campaign donations. A 2019 investigation by The Oregonian/ OregonLive showed that the outsize influence of corporate campaign money helped limit environmental protections in a state that once aimed to be an environmental leader.

a street corner with his downtown business, Envy Nail Bar, remained closed. “The phone’s been staying ringing off the hook,” Huynh said. “We’ve probably gotten hundreds of calls in the last hour.” The gradual reopenings come as coronavirus testing continues to lag across the United States. To date, according to data compiled by the COVID Tracking Project, just under 4.7 million people have been tested in the country of 330 million people. A lack of tests and supplies has hampered the U.S. effort from the beginning. About 193,000 people were tested on Thursday. That’s an increase from the two-week daily average of 163,000, but far less than what public health experts estimate is needed to get a handle on the virus. Researchers at Harvard have estimated a minimum of 500,000 daily tests are needed, and possibly much more, in order to safely reopen the economy.

Bridge South was Augustus Masterson, playing with his fiancee, Eleanor WeeburnSmythe. We were surprised when they became engaged because she was a much stronger player than he. Perhaps she had been distracted by his muscular physique. West cashed two top spades, East echoing to show a doubleton. Then West shifted to the club 10. Augustus won in hand and ran the heart queen.

Ask Dr. Hurbis: Coronavirus monthly update

SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020 | B5

The World

are times when survival instincts overtake, and the preservation of self and family will win over. This is a time of huge internal national stress. On top of this the media and our leaders are bombarding us with conflicting messages, some with hope, some despair, many short-sighted and inaccurate. Now comes the economic component. It seems that many of our leaders are inclined to get back to business as usual as soon as possible. But, there may never be an “as usual” again. The human toll will be huge and everyone’s life will be touched somehow. They estimate that the average person knows maybe 600 others. At a viral penetration of 25% and a mortality rate of 4% we will all lose six people whom we know. There is a lot of misinformation out there and while not always intentional, once out, is extremely harmful. It takes mere seconds to release inaccurate news and can take years to convince people to not act on incorrect information. With this third in a series article, I will try to bring you up to date with the best information we have thus far. Again, it may seem a bit scattered and haphazard and I apologize for that. Facts and Findings: Survival seems related to be the inoculum level vs. your immune response. It’s a race of your body trying to keep up with the rate of viral growth without overdoing it. Deaths coming from viral overload or a toxic excessive immune response. In one Korean study, 8% of those that recovered did not develop antibodies against the virus, meaning they could possibly be in-

DR. CHARLES HURBIS Coronavirus monthly update: Isn’t it odd that true crisis can bring out the best in us as well as the absolute worst, sometimes all at the same time? And you don’t need to look very far for examples: Selfless citizens delivering groceries to the elderly, those still working in plagued nursing homes caring for our frightened parents and our brave healthcare workers who report to the front line putting their lives at risk daily. The flip side would be fights breaking out in the toilet paper aisle. And the stories are tragic, such as elderly passing away in nursing homes unable to see their families due to lockdowns. Many people draw a similarity of our current crisis to a time of war, perhaps in some respects, but this really is different. The villain here is invisible. Individuals, instead of being unified working shoulder to shoulder against an obvious foe, stand polarized against one another. Everyone you pass on the street is potentially your enemy and a competitor for your needed rations. While it is valiant to help out your fellow man, there

fected more than once. This tended to be in younger patients that had milder cases of the disease. Also, there were indications the virus has the capacity to mutate, making vaccination success a moving target as it is with the flu. Sequelae of advanced infection: Cardiac failure, pulmonary failure, kidney failure, etc. This thing just keeps getting uglier, you don’t want it. Those at higher risk from severe infection: pulmonary or cardiac disease, immunocompromised such as elderly, diabetics, those undergoing cancer treatment, steroid users, those on immunosuppressive drugs or pregnancy. Theories: 1) There may have been an early outbreak in the US back in December. This is highly unlikely as the wave of severely ill patients didn’t arrive until March. 2) This virus originated in a viral bio-lab in China. Viral labs have many purposes, most have scientific value, still some may be less well-intentioned. One of these labs is located in Wuhan, constructed in 2017 and was noted to have safety issues in 2018, so it’s possible. At risk of being repetitive I’m quickly listing symptoms again: 1) Shortness of breath 2) Fever 3) Dry cough 4) Severe chills and body aches 5) Sudden confusion 6) Digestive issues 7) Pink eye 8) Loss of sense of taste and smell 9) Severe fatigue 10) Headache, sore throat, congestion Rules to currently live by: 1) The 6-foot rule makes

infection transmission less likely unless someone coughs or sneezes. Even then the odds are in your favor. This is even better if you are wearing a mask, which is now recommended. Sure an N-95 is great, but anything covering your face helps. Large sneeze particles rapidly fall to the ground. There are stories of smaller particles remaining airborne for up to three hours. Still, the smaller particles are unlikely to become attached to clothing, so with distancing, a mask and hand washing, you’re pretty well protected. Following these guidelines make it less likely you will contract an infectious dose of this virus. 2) Just because viral RNA can be detected for long periods of time (remember 19 days on the cruise ship?) doesn’t mean it remains infectious for that long. We know that the virus is susceptible to heat, sun, detergent/disinfectant and drying out. A porous surface supports drying out, which is why paper and clothing are believed to retain the virus for 24 hours. So, wash your clothes in hot water with a good detergent and perhaps hold your mail and packages for one day before opening them. 3) Shoes are a problem, and studies show that in higher risk areas, 50% of healthcare workers are wearing shoes which are virus positive. This is best managed by a “no shoes” policy in your home or laundering them if possible. Never wipe down the soles, this only further risks transmission to you. 4) Safety of shopping: Let’s say someone sneezes all over your cereal box. The virus has a half-life of only 70 minutes on paper. A small amount of infectious virus

is transferred to your hands when you pull it off the shelf. The virus cannot burrow into your skin, it requires contact with a respiratory cell to infect , which requires nasal or ocular entry. On your hands some will break down, more will fall off whenever you touch anything else. By the time you accidentally touch your face or wipe your nose there isn’t much left, and then it’s just on your face, only close to a respiratory membrane. Unless you take a deep admiring sniff of your cereal box it’s tough to get infected this way. I wondered if it was wise to even include this next quote, but I’m putting it in. These are thoughts from a Yale cardiologist (keeping in mind he only sees the worst cases): “(The disease) can attack almost anything in the body with devastating consequences,” says cardiologist Harlan Krumholz of Yale University and Yale-New Haven Hospital, who is leading multiple efforts to gather clinical data on COVID-19. “Its ferocity is breathtaking and humbling. The virus acts like no pathogen humanity has ever seen.” Certainly, this is something to be respected. Thoughts like these get your attention. So, if I were to end this with a final bit of advice it would be the following 5 rules: 1) Maintain social separation. 2) Observe the 6-foot rule whenever outside the house 3) Wash your hands, avoid touching your face 4) Leave your shoes at the door 5) Wear a mask whenever out Nothing groundbreaking here. Stay virus free. Doc H

For antibodies to be detected, you must be symptom-free (no fever or cough) for two weeks prior to testing. No physician’s order or referral needed.

What is antibody/serology testing? Antibody testing, also called serology testing, is used to identify the presence of immune response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It is a critical component to our nation’s response to the pandemic. This test is only intended to detect antibodies to the virus. It does not diagnose active or recent infection.

Does a positive test mean I’m immune? A positive serology result suggests that a person is less likely to get infected or re-infected compared with those who do not have any antibodies in their blood. However, we are still learning about the level and

Student creates masks using 3-D printing B6 | SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020

ASHRAF KHALIL Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It started in late March with a self-professed high school “news junkie” and a lone 3D printer. Georgetown Day School senior Jonah Docter-Loeb was transfixed by television footage of the “suffering on such a large scale” caused by the coronavirus pandemic. After learning that supplies of protective medical gear were being depleted, Docter-Loeb sought a way to help. He tapped into the online community of “makers” — 3D printer enthusiasts — and found an open-source design for a welder’s mask-style face shield he could print at home. Things moved quickly from there. In less than a month, that idea has mushroomed into Print to Protect, a network of around 100 3D printers, most in individual homes, producing face shields for distribution to Washington area hospitals. The group says it has printed 3,000 shields so far with a goal of completing 10,000 in April. “For a lot of us, it can be overwhelming what’s happening,” said Emily Scarrow, a junior at the private school and part of a collective of students running the

The World

project. She said working on the campaign helped her deal with the feelings of “helplessness and isolation” of the ongoing stay-at-home orders. The supplies are much needed as Washington and the larger capital region of southern Maryland and northern Virginia braces for a looming surge. Twice a week, volunteer drivers such as William Olsen gather up the printed materials from people’s homes. To maintain social distancing and reduce personal interactions, residents leave the newly printed parts in a sealed bag or box on their porches. “I have a car and I have a bunch of free time. I’m privileged and this is the least I can do,” said Olsen, a Georgetown Day junior who is thinking of studying medicine. The parts are delivered to Eaton DC, a communal workspace downtown that’s serving as a distribution hub.

Men’s Health: Rest easier after learning about sleep apnea

The World

Adequate sleep can recharge and rejuvenate the body, while interruptions to sleep can have the exact opposite effect. Anyone who has woken up feeling tired after a full night’s sleep may be experiencing sleep apnea. According to the Mayo Clinic, sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder. Through the night, breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when throat muscles relax

and cut off air flow. A study published in the journal “Sleep Medicine Review” indicates sleep apnea affects millions of Americans. Sleep apnea can be associated with increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease, stroke, motor vehicle accidents and diminished quality of life. Furthermore, sleep apnea, which is sometimes accompanied by heavy snoring, can be disruptive not only to the sufferer, but also to a bed partner kept awake by snoring. It is important to note that

sleep apnea may be present without much snoring. While sleep apnea can affect both men and women, the Mayo Clinic says men are two to three times more likely to have it than women. It is believed that inherent differences in length and collapsibility of the upper airway, neurochemical control mechanisms, fat distribution, and hormones all contribute to the disparity of sleep apnea between men and women. Jonathan Jun, M.D., a pulmonary and sleep medicine specialist at the Johns

Hopkins Center for Sleep, says during sleep apnea episodes, breathing may pause for 10 seconds or more at a time until reflexes kick in and a person starts breathing again. Breathing interruptions continually wake a person and prevent him or her from getting into a deep, nourishing sleep. The consequences can be mood swings, grogginess, lost productivity, and daytime car accidents. Other sufferers experience headaches from low oxygen or high carbon dioxide levels during sleep.

If sleep apnea is suspected, people are urged to first consult with their primary care doctors. In turn, these medical professionals can refer patients to sleep specialists. A test called nocturnal polysomnography monitors various markers while one sleeps to determine if sleep apnea is occurring. Age, being overweight, thin neck circumference, smoking, and family history of sleep apnea are risk factors for many individuals. “Weight control is very important,” said Dr. Jun. “There are many studies

showing that losing weight can either completely cure you of sleep apnea or at least make it less severe.” In addition, doctors may prescribe a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. With a CPAP device, the air pressure is somewhat greater than that of the surrounding air so it keeps the upper airway passages open, preventing sleep apnea and snoring. Sleep apnea is serious and should be addressed promptly to improve health and quality of life.

Students share feelings through poetry The World

NORTH BEND — Students in Dana Mohn’s fifth-grade class at North Bay Elementary are adjusting to distance learning for education this spring, as the novel coronavirus has shifted education out of the classroom. Mohn connects with smaller groups of students via Zoom video conferencing, in meetings that are instructional but also provide a connection, a way for students to see each other’s faces on a regular basis and talk about their day. A recent assignment revealed some feelings the students are having with this “new normal.” Students were given an image — in this case, the famous painting by Impressionist artist George Seurat, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.” They were then were asked to create an ekphrastic poem — a poem inspired by art. Here are some of the student samples:

Document your COVID-19 experiences for history STEVEN GREIF

Coos History Museum

SOUTH COAST — While the entire world is experiencing the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis, the South Coast has its own story and is undergoing its own heartache and hopefulness, sadness and strength. Coos History Education Coordinator Ariel Peasley has created a platform where the South Coast community can share, collect and document the pandemic experiences of the South Coast community. “We are all creating our own living history every day,” said Peasley, “whether it be through texts, phone calls, social media posts, zoom chats with family, creative projects to entertain the kids, or supporting family, friends and neighbors in whatever ways we can.” The Coos History Museum

suggests several ways people can help document their COVID-19 experiences. “Please share anything that you feel represents this time in our history,” said Steve Greif, Coos History Museum volunteer. “Your content can be stories, photos — whether personal or communal, happy or sad. Please help us create a space for everyone to come together and document this time in our lives.” Greif has been taking photos and adding captions to illustrate them. For example, a photo taken on April 15 of the statute of North Bend founder Louis Simpson wearing a mask hit home. Here’s what Greif wrote: “During the COVID-19 crisis, the CDC asked citizens to help prevent the spread of the disease by wearing facemasks when doing essential chores, like grocery shopping, in public spaces. It was nice to see Louie

doing his part.” “These are the kinds of things that will remind us of what we went through,” Greif said. When submitting your content please provide a short description or explanation and let us know your name, as well as dates, times and other pertinent information when applicable. Feel free to include photos, videos, audio, writing, art, music, etc. by: • Posting on the Museum’s Facebook page: Coos County: Our Covid-19 Story • Emailing your content to: covid-19experience@cooshistory.org. You may attach photos/ videos to this site as well. • Mailing your content to: Coos History Museum, Attn: Coos County: Our Covid-19 Story, 1210 N Front St, Coos Bay OR, 97420 Please see History, Page B3

Car Talk: Why are there no four-door convertibles RAY MAGLIOZZI Dear Car Talk: Why do convertibles and coupes have such large doors, which makes it hard to get in and out in tight parking spots? Why can’t they have four normal-sized doors? — Raymond I guess the autobody repair lobby is very powerful, Raymond. Those supermarket parking lot dents have sent a lot of their kids to college. And on to medical school. Actually, the reason convertibles (and traditional coupes) have only two doors is because they have no “B-pillars” to which rear doors can be attached. Cars generally have between one and four structural pillars that go from the bottom of the car to the roof. Those structural pillars provide rigidity and safety, so the car doesn’t fold like a used Amazon box after you open the top and bottom flaps. The A-pillar is the forward-most pillar, the top of which holds the windshield. The B-pillar is the pillar between the front and rear doors. The C-pillar is the next most rearward pillar. On sedans, it

holds the rear window. And on station wagons or SUVs, there’s a D-pillar, which is at the very back of the vehicle. Convertibles only have A-pillars. Coupes have nothing but A-pillars and C-pillars. In order to hang a door, you have to attach the hinges to something. Obviously, the front doors attach to the A-pillars. In a sedan or SUV, the rear doors attach to the B-pillars. But in a coupe or convertible, there’s no B-pillar, so there’s nothing to attach the rear doors to. And because they can’t use four doors, they make the two doors they have bigger to provide at least some access to the back seats. So, should you be unlucky enough to have to sit in the back seat of a coupe or convertible, you can at least squeeze your way in through that larger door opening, rather than diving in through the rear window.

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

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE

DILBERT

BY MARY HUNT

I’d Rather Have the Money, Bob Did you see us? My husband and I were on TV with Bob Barker. Before you run to check Netflix or “America’s Funniest Videos,” I’d better tell you this was a while ago. Try 1971. We were plucked from the live audience of that old favorite, “Truth or Consequences,” along with two other couples. Ours was a kind of “newlywed game” stunt. They put the guys in a soundproof booth, and we ladies had to predict how our husbands would answer questions. Of course, the hubs and I won. And a mighty fine prize it was: $50 in prize money and a blender! We already had a blender, so I remember thinking I’d rather have the money. We could have walked away with a grand total of $85. Catching Bob on reruns of “The Price Is Right” brings back fond memories. And whenever some lucky contestant wins a mishmash of stuff to clutter their lives, I can almost hear what the winner is thinking: I’d rather have the money, Bob! But instead, the winner gets all the stuff and has to pay THE FAMILY CIRCUS taxes on the full retail value to boot. (We got off easy ... not much tax due on $50 and a blender.) Every day, you should be telling yourself the same thing: I’d rather have the money! Let’s say you see a great new pair of shoes you simply cannot resist. They’re on sale! This won’t last, and it’s such a great deal. No matter how you pay for them (cash, credit, check), it’s a done deal. You’ve got the shoes; they’ve got your money. Here’s where your thinking gets all messed up. Your choices, you believe, are to either have the shoes or not have the shoes. One is a happy outcome, the other negative -- or so you believe. How would your decision change if the salesman had the shoes in one hand and the $50 cash in the other? Would you take the shoes or the money? That is exactly the choice you have with every purchase. Either you get the (fill in the blank), or you get the money. Either you buy the shoes, or you leave $50 in your bank account. If you could see your lifetime earnings in one big pile of money, and how each decision to spend diminishes the amount you get to keep, I have a feeling you would take your decision much more seriously. You’d opt to take the money more often than the stuff to clutter your life. The next time you think to spend money -- any amount -- ask yourself: Do I really want this, or would MODERATELY CONFUSED I rather have the money? Would you like more information?

U.S. judge denies bid to open churches

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday said he will deny a bid by three Southern California churches to hold in-person church services during the pandemic, saying that government’s emergency powers trump what in normal times would be fundamental constitutional rights. U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal in Los Angeles said he will reject the temporary restraining order the churches sought against Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials. They argued that the state’s stay-at-home orders violate the First Amendment right to freedom of religion and assembly. “During the state of emergency the executive powers are in effect, in that they are empowered to provide for emergency remedies which may infringe on fundamental constitutional rights,” Bernal said the the end of the hourlong hearing. He said he will soon issue a formal ruling. Many churches have been holding online services. California officials on Friday said religious organizations can have drive-in services so long as congregants don’t have personal contact. Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, a Republican Party official and chief executive of the nonprofit Center for American Liberty, argued that it is unfair for the state to allow people to attend to other needs that have been deemed essential, like going to the grocery store or picking up meals, while blocking religious services that she said for many believers are as important as eating. Officials could require congregants to wear masks and stay a safe distance apart, the same as for other essential activities, she said. “People of faith are no more interested in dying

than anybody else,” Dhillon said. Yet for believers, “it is not entertainment, is not optional, it is not for Sundays only,” she said, warning that the government might increase health risks by driving churchgoers to attend secret services. But state Deputy Attorney General Todd Grabarsky said during the hearing held by teleconference that religious organizations are not being singled out by rules that similarly restrict gatherings at concerts, nightclubs, schools — even in-person court hearings. “Any harm ... is really significantly outweighed by the harm to public health,” he told the judge. “We’re dealing with a life-anddeath situation for whole groups of people.” For most people, the highly contagious coronavirus causes symptoms such as high fever and a dry cough. But some people, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, become much sicker and even die. The lawsuit was filed by three churches in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, east of Los Angeles. James Moffatt, senior pastor at Church Unlimited in Indio, was fined $1,000 for violating Riverside County’s order by holding a Palm Sunday service, according to the lawsuit. The other plaintiffs are a parishioner and the head pastor of Shield of Faith Family Church in Fontana and the senior pastor of Word of Life Ministries International in Riverside. Dhillon said after the hearing that it is not yet clear if or when the churches will appeal. She asked Bernal to hold a further hearing on her request for a preliminary injunction, a process that could take weeks or months.
