Oregon will resume its indoor mask mandate effective Friday, Aug. 13. Gov. Kate Brown said the effort to require the face coverings at all public indoor settings is needed to slow the rapidly spreading COVID-19 Delta virus in the state. Brown opened a Wednes- day morning press conference by saying the latest COVID-19 numbers are "shocking." "Yesterday we had over 2,300 cases of COVID, the highest number since the virus first landed in Oregon," Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World Brown said.

I don’t recall Dad ever being an official coach, but he was around sports so much, probably the result of having six sons. I started thinking about so many of those times after Dad died early Monday morning. I never knew much about Dad’s own athletic achievements, but from stories I have heard, he could have been a pretty gifted track athlete growing up in New York. From my own experience, he was a decent softball player — we used to play as a family at picnics and he played catch with us when we were first Contributed photo playing baseball.
