Once deliveries start, they will go to elementary cam- pus counselors, who then will distribute them to stu- dents in need. Arya said she hopes as donations increase, the organization can expand to middle schools and the high school. The students are identi- fied as “in need” based on if they receive free or reduced lunches. Arya said the organiza- tion has partnered with businesses in town that made contributions. She said already the project has received about $12,00 in monetary donations and 12 sponsorships, and Walmart even donated about $3,000. Other top donors include Athletic Performance of Texas, Longview Lions Club, Louis Morgan Drug No. 4 and Fadal Pediatric Dentistry that each donated $1,000. “We’re still going to need a lot more money to provide for all the kids,” she said. According to the district, 89% of Longview ISD stu- dents are on free or reduced lunch. The group will start as- sembling and handing out care packages in the coming weeks, Arya said. “It’s really opened my eyes up to how many kids in our community are faced with basic problems that no one really sees or thinks about,” she said. “I’m hop- ing it’s going to help a lot of children, and I’m hoping the community will come together and support this cause.” Donations can be dropped off at Hudson PEP Elementary School, 1311 Lilly St., but anyone can make a monetary donation at simplebarenecessities. org or through an Amazon wish list on the group’s website.

Spokes- man Brandon Thornton said only one of the depart- ment’s 167 officers has con- tracted COVID-19. “The pandemic has changed the way we ap- proach all patients,” Hoo- ten said. “We do more in- depth decontamination. We now have a scheduled (decontamination) of all stations, equipment and apparatus.” Fire department em- ployees on EMS calls wear respirator masks, glasses and gloves as well as face shields and gowns in some situations. “In the beginning, we didn’t have enough for ev- ery crew member,” she said, noting the PPE short- age in the early stages of the U.S. outbreak. “We lim- ited the number of folks who make initial contact with a patient.” Now, Hooten said that between department pur- chases and what the state has provided, there is enough PPE for all crew members. The number of contacts with patients is still limited, and patients are screened ahead of time to determine if there are respiratory issues. When a call for EMS ser- vice is made, dispatchers review COVID screening questions with the caller. Firefighters on the scene then verify those respons- es. “We didn’t used to do that. Better to err on the side of caution,” Hooten said. “Yeah, I think what we’re doing now is the new normal. We still don’t know the long-term effects of this illness.” The pandemic also has changed the way some pa- tients are treated. “In some cases, we drape our patients in a plastic sheet to perform some life-saving measures,” Hoo- ten said. Despite the illnesses, the fire department has been able to maintain its staffing with a few tweaks, such as keeping smaller groups at stations to avoid exposure and requiring masks at sta- tions. Hooten is closely mon- itoring reports regarding the virus and news coming out of countries such as Australia to see what could still happen here. “I have not gotten sick, but with kids going back to school, you never know,” she said. “We’ll see if we get another surge after La- bor Day and into the fall.” EMS From Page 1A kind of like the gameshow ‘Wipe Out’ but while playing golf.” A longtime fan of game shows, Holyfield said he watched the show last year and decided to fill out the application for a shot at competing. “I filled out the applica- tion online, (and) a few days later one of the producers called,” he recalled. “I talk- ed to three or four different people and finally one day in early January they called and said pack your bags— you’re going to Los Ange- les.” Holyfield was eliminat- ed in the second round of Thursday night’s episode on a hole called “Gopher It.” He said he and his com- petitor had to ride a me- chanical gopher that was placed on top of a hill about 30 feet in the air. The con- testant who rode the gopher the longest earned bet- ter starting placement on the putting course, which featured mechanical go- pher heads that randomly popped out of the ground. The contestant with the better placement had fewer gopher heads to navigate. “She beat me by one second,” Holyfield said of his competitor. “Then she made a putt, and I didn’t. I felt very disappointed with myself. ” Despite that, Holyfield said he remains grateful for the experience. “When it comes down to it, you’ve got to make that putt. When you are playing for $250,000, there is a little pressure on you,” Holyfield said. “This was the perfect game show for me.” Show From Page 1A accepted.

(AP) — A man sus- pected of fatally shooting a support- er of a right-wing group in Portland, Oregon, last week after a caravan of Donald Trump backers rode through downtown was killed Thursday as in- vestigators moved in to arrest him, a senior Justice Department official told The Associated Press. The man, Michael Reinoehl, 48, was killed as a federal task force attempted to apprehend him in Lacey, Washing- ton, the official said. Reinoehl was the prime suspect in the killing of 39-year- old Aaron “Jay” Danielson, who was shot in the chest Saturday night, the official said. Federal agents from the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service had located Rei- noehl on Thursday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. During the encoun- ter, Reinoehl was shot by a law enforce- ment officer who was working on the federal task force, the official said. The official said Reinoehl had pulled a gun during the encounter and was shot by law enforcement. The official could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task forces, comprised of deputy mar- shals, other federal agents and local law enforcement officers from a va- riety of agencies, are responsible for apprehending violent felons and other wanted suspects Reinoehl had described himself in a social media post as “100% ANTIFA,” suggested the tactics of counter-pro- testers amounted to “warfare,” and had been shot at one protest and cited for having a gun at another. He had been been a regular presence at anti-racism demonstrations in Port- land. Police on July 5 cited Reinoehl on allegations of possessing a loaded gun in a public place, resisting arrest and interfering with police. On July 26, Reinoehl was shot near his elbow after he got involved in a scuffle between an armed white man and a group of young people of color. The man who was carrying the gun, Aaron Scott Collins, told The Orego- nian/OregonLive that he and a friend had just left a bar when they saw the group harassing an older Black man. His friend began filming them with a phone, and the group confronted them, calling them Nazis, he said. Reinoehl later that day spoke to an AP videographer. His arm was wrapped in a bloody bandage; he said he was on his way to meet protest med- ics so they could change it. He said he didn’t know what had started the altercation between Collins and the group, but that several people had decided to intervene when they saw Collins fighting with minors. “As soon as the adults jumped in, he pulled out a gun,” Reinoehl said. “I jumped in there and pulled the gun away from people’s heads, avoided be- ing shot in the stomach and I got shot in the arm.” Reinoehl also was wanted on a war- rant out of Baker County in Eastern Oregon, where court records show he skipped a hearing related to a June case in which he has been charged with driving under the influence of controlled substances, reckless driv- ing, reckless endangerment and un- lawful possession of a firearm. Police said he drove on an interstate at up to 111 mph, with his daughter in the car, while racing his 17-year-old son, who was in a different vehicle. Protests have erupted daily in the Pacific Northwest city since the killing of George Floyd. With unruly demonstrations in Port- land nearing the 100-day mark, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and other Democrat- ic leaders on Thursday called for an end to violence even as federal agents were continuing to arrest protesters who allegedly assaulted law enforce- ment officers. “The violence must stop,” Brown wrote. “There is no place for white su- premacy or vigilantism in Oregon. All who perpetrate violent crimes must be held equally accountable.” The statement does not single out the small minority of left-wing protesters who have been setting fires, vandalizing buildings and throwing objects at po- lice. But Brown’s spokesman, Charles Boyle, said it “is a collective call to ac- tion for an end to violence in Portland and affirms that those who commit vio- lent acts must be held accountable.” Brown’s condemnation of violence was also signed by almost two-doz- en state and local politicians, a host of organizations including the local NAACP chapter, and the city’s profes- sional sports teams: the Trailblazers NBA team, the Timbers soccer team and the Thorns women’s soccer squad. Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell has denounced protesters who broke windows and set a fire this week to a business in the upscale apartment building where Mayor Ted Wheeler lives. Protesters are angry that Wheel- er has not stopped officers from us- ing batons and tear gas against Black Lives Matter protesters. Wheeler now reportedly plans to move out of the building. As of a week ago, 74 people were fac- ing federal charges for crimes alleged- ly committed during demonstrations in Portland since at least May 29, U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said.
