(AP)\u00a0 Saving the summer for people who depend on the fishing industry in North Dakota and South Dakota could be a close call because of the coronavirus. One resort owner on Devils Lake in North Dakota says that while safety is paramount, he’s worried the virus could lead to more cancellations. Kyle Blanchfield of Woodland Resort says until COVID-19 is under control, there \u201creally isn’t an answer.\u201d Tammy Nelson, a co-owner of a resort on South Dakota’s Lake Oahe, says she hopes conditions will be safe by June, when their busy season begins. Resorts in both states get much of their traffic from Minnesota, where residents have been asked to stay home.<\/p>\n

TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Edmonton Oilers forward Colby Cave has died less than a week after being diagnosed with a brain bleed. He was 25.<\/p>\n
Cave was placed in a medically induced coma Tuesday at a Toronto hospital, where he was taken after being admitted to a medical facility in Barrie, Ontario, the previous day. Cave underwent emergency surgery Tuesday to remove a colloid cyst that was causing pressure on his brain.<\/p>\n
The NHL club confirmed Cave\u2019s death with a statement from his family.<\/p>\n

(AP) The PGA Tour says Doug Sanders died Sunday morning in Houston at age 86. Sanders was one of golf\u2019s most colorful figures with his wardrobe and lifestyle. Sanders won 20 times on the PGA Tour, the first one as an amateur in the 1956 Canadian Open. But he is best known for the four times he was runner-up in a major. The most memorable was the 1970 British Open at St. Andrews when he missed a short par putt on the 18th hole. Jack Nicklaus beat him in a playoff the next day.<\/p>\n

He is the second driver in a week to draw scrutiny while using the online racing platform to fill time during the coronavirus pandemic.

He said during a check of his microphone \u201cyou can\u2019t hear me?\u201d That was followed by the N-word. It was not yet clear what fallout there could be.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) \u2014 Strong storms pounding the Deep South have killed at least six people in south Mississippi and damaged up to 300 homes and other buildings in northern Louisiana. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared a state of emergency Sunday night. The National Weather Service said large parts of the South remain at risk of severe weather. Much of the region was under flash flood, tornado and thunderstorm warnings and watches overnight and around 750,000 people were without power in a 10-state swatch.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 OPEC, Russia and other oil-producing nations have finalized an unprecedented production cut of nearly 10 million barrels, or a tenth of global supply, in hopes of boosting crashing prices amid the coronavirus pandemic and a price war. The group of nations agreed on a video conference Sunday to cut 9.7 million barrels a day to begin May 1. Mexico had initially blocked the deal. Iran’s oil minister also says several Middle Eastern nations agreed to an additional cut of 2 million barrels a day. They reached the deal just hours before Asian markets were set to reopen Monday.<\/p>\n
MADISON, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Clerks across Wisconsin will count votes Monday, six days after last week’s chaotic presidential primary. District Judge William Conley rejected a plea by Democrats and liberal groups to postpone the election, but ordered an extended period for absentee voting and barred clerks from counting the returns until Monday. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately overturned Conley’s extended absentee voting period but left intact the portion that blocked the count until 4 p.m. Monday. The race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders was moot after Sanders dropped out, but a high-stakes state Supreme Court race was in play.<\/p>\n

MADRID (AP) \u2014 As the coronavirus pandemic throws millions out of work and devastates economies worldwide, governments are struggling with the dilemma between keeping people safe from a highly contagious virus and making sure they can still make a living. Workers in some nonessential industries are to return to work in Spain, one of the hardest hit countries in the coronavirus pandemic. But in South Korea, officials warn that hard-earned progress fighting the virus could be eroded by new infections as restrictions ease. The decisions are more complicated because each nation is on its own coronavirus arc, with places like Britain, Japan and parts of the United States still seeing increasing deaths or infections.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The United States\u2019 top infectious disease expert says the economy in parts of the country could have a \u201crolling reentry\u201d as early as next month, provided health authorities can quickly identify and isolate people who will inevitably be infected with the coronavirus. Dr. Anthony Fauci also says he \u201ccan\u2019t guarantee\u201d that it will be safe for Americans to vote in person on Election Day, Nov. 3. Fauci says a gradual return to normal will be required based on the status of the new coronavirus pandemic in various parts of the country and the availability of rapid, widespread testing.<\/p>\n
