Nationals players
decide to wait for
in-person ring
ceremony
WASHINGTON – The
Washington
Nationals
have changed their plans
for their virtual World Se-
ries ring ceremony after
players decided they
would rather wait until
they could reunite in per-
son to receive their new
jewelry.
The Nationals had an-
nounced they were going
to give out the rings dur-
ing a show broadcast on
television and online – an
unprecedented approach
brought about by the cor-
onavirus pandemic. They
still plan to unveil the de-
sign of the ring Sunday
and go ahead with a fund-
raiser for two food banks
and the showing of a doc-
umentary about Wash-
ington’s 2019 season.
The Nationals consult-
ed some team leaders be-
fore moving forward with
the virtual ring ceremony.
“When team leaders
discussed the plan this
week with the players,
the players collectively
decided they would pre-
fer to receive their rings
when the team could be
physically reunited. We
support that decision,”
the team said in a state-
ment.
The show was planned
for Sunday because of the

Falls Lodge.
The small cafe at the
lodge is open for outdoor
service, including pur-
chasing some snacks.
The tables have been re-
moved.
Hikers are recom-
mended to wear a mask,
officials said.
"We’re recommending
people wear a face cover-
ing (mask or homemade)
in any situation where
they can’t maintain 6 feet
physical distance from
people not in their house-
hold," Oregon Parks and
Recreation Department
spokesman Chris Havel
said. "That does include
date’s significance in last
year’s title run. A year
ago, Washington went
into that day with a 19-31
record before starting a
turnaround that led to the
franchise’s first World
Series appearance and
championship.
NBA says it is talking
with Disney about
resuming season
The NBA is in talks
with The Walt Disney
Company on a single-site
scenario for a resumption
of play in Central Florida
in late July, the clearest
sign yet that the league
believes the season can
continue amid the coro-
navirus pandemic.
The National Basket-
ball Players Association
is also part of the talks
with Disney. Games
would be held at the
ESPN Wide World of
Sports Complex, a mas-
sive campus on the Dis-
ney property near Orlan-
do.
NBA spokesman Mike
Bass said the conversa-
tions were still “explor-
atory,” and that the site
would be used not only
for games but for prac-
tices and housing as well.
“Our priority con-
tinues to be the health
and safety of all involved,
and we are working with
public health experts and
government officials on a
most trails, plus view-
points, restrooms, park-
ing areas, and anywhere
else you see a crowd.
"For a trail, that can
mean you carry the cov-
ering around your neck
and pop it up over your
nose and mouth when
you pass someone."
So come early, bring a
mask and food and revel
in the resplendent glory
of Oregon's waterfall ally.

SERVING THE
EAST VALLEY SINCE 1975
Mary Ellen “Molly” Ro-
mine was born to Patrick
Joseph and Mary Ellen
“Nellie” Conlin in Lon-
don, England, on May
15, 1932. She grew up
in Vancouver, B.C., and
was the oldest of four
siblings.
After graduating from
Little Flower Academy,
she joined the Sisters of
St. Ann in Victoria, serving as a nun, teacher and
nurse across B.C. and Alaska. She earned a Bach-
elors in Nursing from Seattle University. Molly
left the convent in the late 60s to start a new life
as a public health nurse in Eugene, Oregon. She
married Larry Romine in 1969, they started a
family, and she worked for Eugene School District
as a school nurse.
Molly never met a stranger, and could talk to
anyone like they were fast friends. She was a great
storyteller, with tales from summer adventures
at Belcarra with her granny, sisters, brother and
childhood pals. She fulfilled a passion by getting
her very own horse for her 50th birthday. One of
Molly’s gifts was the ability to connect with the
person in front of her, making them feel seen and
valued. This was especially true with young people.
In retirement, Molly enjoyed train travel to visit
family and friends across the West, growing roses,
canoeing at Fern Ridge Reservoir, volunteering at
the library, humane society and church, singing
in choirs, watercolor painting, and most of all,
spending time with grandchildren. Boundary Bay
was an annual summertime destination, where
she made special memories with her children,
grandchildren, and extended family.
Molly died peacefully in her sleep on May 19,
2020 at home. Special thanks to Magda and her
family, and all the caregivers and friends who have
helped through the long journey of Alzheimer’s.
Preceding Molly in death are her husband Larry,
sister Joan, brother Bob, brother-in-law Len, and
sister-in-law Phyllis. Survivors include daughters
Ann Poteet (Chris) of Portland and Erika Romine
of Salem; grandchildren Bridger Lanning, Carson
Lanning, Alexa Lanning, Ross Poteet and Noah
Poteet; sister Pat Clarke, sister-in-law Marlene
Conlin, brother-in-law Clare Romine; and many
cherished nieces and nephews.
A funeral mass will be held at a future date at
St. Jude Catholic Church in Eugene.
Memorial contributions may be made in Molly’s
memory to the Alzheimer’s Association of Oregon
or your local humane society.

A year after blowing
out her knee for the third

Newton,
the
younger brother of ex-
Carolina Panthers starter
Cam, says he is transfer-
ring to Auburn.
Newton
announced
his decision on Twitter
Friday, following in his
brother’s footsteps. Cam
Newton won the Heis-
man Trophy in 2010 while
leading Auburn to the na-
tional championship.
The 6-foot, 195-pound
Caylin Newton will be eli-
gible immediately as a
graduate transfer. He en-
tered the NCAA’s transfer
portal in October after
playing in four games. He
will walk on with the Ti-
gers, who are already at
their 85-player scholar-
ship limit.
Newton was the 2018
Mid-Eastern

Conference
offensive
player of the year after
passing for 2,629 yards
and rushing for 504
yards.
He was the league’s
rookie of the year as a
freshman.
Auburn returns start-
ing quarterback Bo Nix,
but has scant experience
behind him.
